**[00:19] ---**
Violet Flash!
**[00:25] ---**
He avoided that?!
**[00:27] ---**
That one was pretty fast.
If I hadn't read your pheromones,
**[00:31] ---**
I wouldn't have dodged you.
**[00:32] ---**
You're so gross!
**[00:36] ---**
Bombardier Beetle!
**[00:42] ---**
Get off me, you idiot!
**[00:44] ---**
--At least let me get out of the way!
--Ow... hot... hot...!
**[00:47] ---**
Superheated gas. There's no escaping it.
**[00:50] ---**
What are you all sneaking around
in the Nether about?!
**[00:55] ---**
Everything is ready.
**[00:57] ---**
Our presence in the Nether
is only a matter of time now.
**[01:00] ---**
What?
**[01:01] ---**
The extinction of this world is imminent.
**[01:05] ---**
Very shortly, the Pillars will be gathered,
**[01:07] ---**
and the Evangelist's plan will be completed.
**[01:10] ---**
We're going to put a stop to that plan!
**[01:13] ---**
Haven't you discovered in your investigations
**[01:15] ---**
that the Tokyo Empire was created
by means of the Evangelist's plan?
**[01:21] ---**
As were the Holy Sol Temple
and Amaterasu, all for this moment.
**[01:26] ---**
It is mankind itself that wishes to
perish more than anything, isn't it?
**[01:32] ---**
There is no stopping it now.
**[01:35] ---**
You say that mankind wishes to perish?
**[01:37] ---**
Our mission as Fire Soldiers is to
protect people's lives and property.
**[01:42] ---**
Don't go deciding things for everyone!
**[01:47] ---**
Are you saying that the Fire Force
will deprive humanity of its chance
**[01:51] ---**
to arrive at a higher plane
by passing through destruction?
**[01:58] ---**
Well, no matter. You will find out soon enough.
**[02:03] ---**
Just like your brother did.
**[02:05] ---**
What?!
**[02:08] ---**
What happened to Sho?
**[02:10] ---**
He is standing by quietly.
Almost as though he were a puppet.
**[02:22] ---**
I've always wanted one of these--
**[02:25] ---**
a doll as pretty as this one.
**[02:31] ---**
Don't look away, Arrow.
You stand there quietly and watch.
**[02:39] ---**
Watch as I play with my doll.
**[04:18] ---**
"Episode 22:
Plot for Extinction"
**[04:24] ---**
Where...
**[04:26] ---**
...is Sho right now?
**[04:28] ---**
He is where the Pillars need to be,
prior to the coming of the Great Cataclysm.
**[04:35] ---**
Your brother is on his
best behavior, unlike you.
**[04:39] ---**
By now, he is probably Haumea's plaything.
**[04:47] ---**
Even if you can read my mind, I just have to
move faster than you can react!
**[04:54] ---**
No one is there. Did he vanish?
**[04:57] ---**
I'm right here.
**[04:59] ---**
*Non!*
**[05:06] ---**
Such tremendous acceleration...
**[05:19] ---**
It seems you do not intend to come with us.
**[05:22] ---**
I once sensed the kind of bloodlust you possess.
**[05:25] ---**
There's no way I'd ever trust anyone
with a heart as sinister as yours!
**[05:29] ---**
Sensed?
**[05:31] ---**
Then you and I were connected?
Via an Adolla Link?
**[05:36] ---**
You're certain you heard my voice, right?
**[05:38] ---**
Yeah! So what if I did?!
**[05:41] ---**
That's incredible! I'm so glad
you told me! Thank you! Thank you!
**[05:46] ---**
You're saying that a mere human like me
connected to you through Adolla?
**[05:50] ---**
Only those who are connected to Adolla
can undergo an Adolla Link!
**[05:54] ---**
My Insect experiments!
This is the fruit borne of them!
**[05:58] ---**
I have become closer to Adolla!
**[06:00] ---**
Then are you saying that
I can't hear the voices of those
**[06:03] ---**
who have never connected with Adolla?
**[06:04] ---**
It stands to reason! An Adolla Link
**[06:07] ---**
can only be achieved between those
who have an Adolla Burst,
**[06:11] ---**
or have been in contact with Adolla.
**[06:17] ---**
Hold on. I've heard the voices of others
through an Adolla Link twice before.
**[06:21] ---**
Once with Dr. Giovanni...
**[06:24] ---**
Kill Vulcan.
**[06:26] ---**
...and the other time was...
**[06:28] ---**
Shinra!
**[06:32] ---**
...with Lieutenant Konro.
**[06:34] ---**
If you can't have an Adolla Link
without an Adolla Burst,
**[06:37] ---**
then how did I hear Lieutenant Konro?
**[06:40] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[06:41] ---**
Shut up!
**[06:43] ---**
The Evangelist resides
not in this world, but in Adolla.
**[06:47] ---**
How are you going to stop the Evangelist,
who is in another world?
**[06:51] ---**
I don't care if you *can* meddle with
the higher plane of Adolla,
**[06:55] ---**
the most that you can do is peer into it.
**[06:58] ---**
Are you saying it's impossible
for us to go to Adolla?
**[07:01] ---**
How are you going to put the fire to rest
if you do not go to the scene, Fire Soldier?
**[07:07] ---**
This world is doomed to do
nothing else but burn away now.
**[07:11] ---**
We humans are nothing more than
the fuel in which this world will burn!
**[07:15] ---**
Humanity has worshipped the sun.
**[07:17] ---**
There is no way we will turn down
burning as brightly as the sun!
**[07:22] ---**
Just as the Evangelist has
instilled upon us, right?!
**[07:25] ---**
Ritsu is getting everything ready now.
**[07:28] ---**
Allow us to demonstrate now, at the onset,
**[07:31] ---**
how people are implements of destruction.
**[07:35] ---**
By utilizing the Nether,
**[07:37] ---**
the Tokyo Empire on the surface
will be utterly destroyed.
**[07:42] ---**
Demolition?!
**[07:43] ---**
Are you certain?
**[07:45] ---**
Yes, it's most likely.
**[07:47] ---**
The enemy intends to use
Infernals as a shaped charge.
**[07:51] ---**
Shaped charge?
**[07:52] ---**
From what I saw of the sensors
that Vulcan-*kun* showed me,
**[07:55] ---**
the Infernals are positioned
in this conical arrangement.
**[08:00] ---**
Is there some significance to this arrangement?
**[08:03] ---**
The shaped charge used in demolition
**[08:05] ---**
employs a phenomenon known as
the Munroe-Neumann effect,
**[08:08] ---**
which requires this sort of
cone-shaped explosive.
**[08:12] ---**
When you line the interior of the explosive
with a thin metal lining, and then detonate it,
**[08:16] ---**
the metal forms a jet forced by
the shockwave from the explosion
**[08:19] ---**
straight up through the center of the cone.
**[08:22] ---**
The metal flies up
utilizing the shock of the explosion,
**[08:25] ---**
so that jet is powerful enough to blow
a hole through anything it hits.
**[08:30] ---**
With Infernals standing in as explosives
to create that shaped charge,
**[08:33] ---**
they are planning to use minimal firepower
to produce maximum damage.
**[08:37] ---**
Geographically, we are at
the center of the Tokyo Empire.
**[08:41] ---**
The damage will be enormous.
**[08:44] ---**
So you're saying that if they perform
this demolition in the Nether...
**[08:49] ---**
The Tokyo Empire will be laid to waste.
**[08:55] ---**
Is there anything we can do to prevent it?
**[08:58] ---**
I heard what was happening.
**[09:00] ---**
I'm late getting back here because
the man behind me was dragging his feet.
**[09:04] ---**
Detective Oze...
**[09:05] ---**
I've memorized the entire layout
of the construction in the Nether.
**[09:08] ---**
Is there anything I can do to help?
**[09:10] ---**
The critical component of a shaped charge
is the direction of the jet.
**[09:13] ---**
If that can be altered,
we may be able to get out of this.
**[09:17] ---**
To do that, we'll need a second generation
**[09:19] ---**
who can control flames over a wide area.
**[09:23] ---**
Lieutenant Hinawa is
a master of pinpoint precision,
**[09:27] ---**
so he is not suited to this kind of operation.
**[09:28] ---**
Tch, you're useless.
**[09:31] ---**
Hmm? Hey, hey, hey, hey!
This is no time for chewing the fat!
**[09:35] ---**
They're about to explode!
**[09:36] ---**
What do we do?! Are there no other
second generation pyrokinetics?!
**[09:40] ---**
No second generations
who can affect a wide area.
**[09:43] ---**
There's only one person I know of
who can pull off anything this freakish.
**[09:49] ---**
First Class Fire Soldier Maki Oze--
oh, make that Secretary Oze--
**[09:54] ---**
who, as I recall, you took
away from us, Detective--
**[09:56] ---**
Ah! There's no point in talking about
people who aren't even here!
**[09:59] ---**
We'll just have to do it with the
second generations we have on hand!
**[10:02] ---**
Lieutenant Hinawa, give me a hand with this!
**[10:04] ---**
I can't. I'm useless.
**[10:06] ---**
Wha--?!
**[10:07] ---**
You toot your own horn
about putting lives first,
**[10:10] ---**
but when it comes down to it,
the 8th is nothing more than a violent gang!
**[10:13] ---**
We will manage *something*.
The 8th *does* put lives first.
**[10:17] ---**
If we don't stop this, there will be
mass casualties on the surface.
**[10:22] ---**
Vulcan!
**[10:23] ---**
Right!
**[10:26] ---**
When it comes to saving lives,
regulations be damned!
**[10:30] ---**
Right...
**[10:32] ---**
...Maki-*san*?
**[10:33] ---**
--Maki?!
--Maki-*san*?!
**[10:34] ---**
S-Sorry I'm late!
**[10:37] ---**
I'm up to speed on the situation, thanks to
the communicator I got from Vulcan.
**[10:40] ---**
The 8th doesn't hold back
anything from each other.
**[10:43] ---**
You're sure about this?
**[10:44] ---**
--Yes, sir.
--What are you doing here?!
**[10:46] ---**
It's too dangerous!
**[10:47] ---**
Are you still going on about that?
**[10:49] ---**
Right now, saving lives comes first.
**[10:51] ---**
That doesn't mean you have to
risk your life to do it!
**[10:53] ---**
Why not? You're taking a risk
by coming down here, too!
**[10:56] ---**
But you're a girl!
**[10:58] ---**
So I can't stick my neck out
just because I'm female?
**[11:01] ---**
Are you going to take me off
the front line, like Mom?
**[11:04] ---**
I... am going to use my power
to keep people safe!
**[11:08] ---**
Vulcan, let me know when!
**[11:10] ---**
You got it. The explosion is near.
Just stand by as you are.
**[11:13] ---**
Maki, there's still time! Hurry up and evacuate!
**[11:17] ---**
--Maki!
--A moment, please!
**[11:20] ---**
It's true that with Maki-*san*'s help,
we can inhibit the shaped charge.
**[11:23] ---**
But it will not stop the flames that
will be produced by the explosion!
**[11:27] ---**
There is nowhere in the Nether
that will allow the flames to escape!
**[11:31] ---**
Meaning?
**[11:32] ---**
Meaning that those of us still in the Nether...
**[11:35] ---**
...are all about to be roasted to death!
**[11:38] ---**
I hate to say!
**[11:47] ---**
The way this is heading, we're all dead?!
**[11:50] ---**
What are you talking about, Licht?!
**[11:51] ---**
If we use Maki-*san*'s ability
to control the direction
**[11:54] ---**
of the Infernal-explosive shaped charge,
**[11:56] ---**
we can prevent this facility and
the rest of Tokyo from being destroyed,
**[11:59] ---**
but this is the Nether.
**[12:01] ---**
There is nowhere for the flames
created by the explosion to go,
**[12:04] ---**
so we're all going to burn to death
from the heat of the trapped flames!
**[12:07] ---**
Except for Crewman Tamaki, who is heat tolerant.
**[12:09] ---**
--Once again, I survive for no reason!
--Are you serious?
**[12:11] ---**
--Once again, I survive for no reason!
--Oh, God...
**[12:13] ---**
What do we do, then?
**[12:16] ---**
We are Fire Soldiers!
**[12:18] ---**
If this saves the lives of
all those people on the surface,
**[12:20] ---**
then I'm okay with it.
**[12:23] ---**
Vulcan, say when!
**[12:24] ---**
Yeah, I'm on it!
**[12:27] ---**
Is that all right, Captain Obi?
**[12:30] ---**
Yeah. We'll find a way
to survive this on our own.
**[12:35] ---**
I don't want to die, either, so I'm thinking...
**[12:38] ---**
...if we can find a place in the Nether
for the heat to escape through...
**[12:43] ---**
But without any data,
this maze-like Nether is simply...
**[12:46] ---**
For my job, I memorized the maps
of the Nether for the whole empire.
**[12:50] ---**
If you include the caved-in facilities,
**[12:52] ---**
then maybe there *is* enough space
for the heat to escape.
**[12:55] ---**
True, if we knew enough about
the geography in here...
**[12:58] ---**
As for the flames themselves,
there's geothermal dissipation...
**[13:00] ---**
If we can use that...
**[13:02] ---**
There's no time!
**[13:03] ---**
I don't have time to explain,
so I'll tell you what to do!
**[13:11] ---**
Brother...
**[13:12] ---**
You just focus on
controlling the flames right now.
**[13:14] ---**
You two being in sync will be crucial!
**[13:17] ---**
You have to follow the Nether's
geography to where I tell you,
**[13:20] ---**
and navigate Maki-*san*'s flame control there!
**[13:22] ---**
Got it!
**[13:25] ---**
The sensors are picking something up!
Heat sources within 3km are spiking!
**[13:36] ---**
Blow!
**[13:45] ---**
It's started!
**[13:46] ---**
First, please change the direction
of the shaped charge jet!
**[13:49] ---**
If we can redirect the blast wave,
we can keep the facility from collapsing!
**[13:52] ---**
Once the jet is redirected,
where should we lead the flames?!
**[13:59] ---**
Drive them down to the lower floors
as much as you can!
**[14:02] ---**
Right!
**[14:04] ---**
I can arrest the flames.
I won't let them have free rein.
**[14:10] ---**
All the flames in the area...
**[14:17] ---**
...are under my control!
**[14:23] ---**
This is only the beginning. The real
extermination of Tokyo is yet to come.
**[14:34] ---**
Huh?
**[14:39] ---**
Maki, I'll direct you, so you just
control them like I tell you to.
**[14:42] ---**
Right.
**[14:43] ---**
Flames can go through places
where people can no longer pass.
**[14:49] ---**
Keep on directing the flames
to the deepest part of the Nether!
**[14:52] ---**
If there's a point where the walls have
collapsed and bare earth is exposed...
**[14:58] ---**
...then we can avoid the flames' heat
through geothermic dissipation.
**[15:01] ---**
Geothermic dissipation?
**[15:03] ---**
We'll exploit the laws of nature
that keep the ground's temperature
**[15:06] ---**
at a constant 18 degrees.
**[15:08] ---**
Oh, now I get it!
**[15:09] ---**
--You hear that? We're chasing
the flames into the ground.
--Right!
**[15:13] ---**
Keep on pushing the heat source into the ground!
**[15:15] ---**
With brother and sister combining
their abilities with geothermal laws...
**[15:20] ---**
...over a long enough time,
the earth will cool off the flames for us!
**[15:36] ---**
It looks like it worked.
**[15:39] ---**
Hinawa,
**[15:41] ---**
if Maki hadn't been here, we, along with
the rest of Tokyo, would be in a crater.
**[15:44] ---**
Maki is a role model for all Fire Soldiers.
**[15:47] ---**
She is someone absolutely essential at the 8th.
**[15:51] ---**
Your judgment was right on the money.
**[15:56] ---**
Did we make it?
**[15:59] ---**
Brother,
**[16:01] ---**
this is what my...
**[16:03] ---**
...this is what the 8th's job is.
**[16:10] ---**
They failed?
**[16:12] ---**
Failed? I don't know what you were plotting,
**[16:16] ---**
but it looks like it was powerless
in the face of Fire Soldier teamwork.
**[16:20] ---**
Hey, Arthur, let's show him *our* teamwork, too!
**[16:26] ---**
"Non-self"
**[16:28] ---**
Non-self...
**[16:29] ---**
How did you...?!
**[16:30] ---**
Teamwork...?
**[16:33] ---**
"Nirvana"
**[16:34] ---**
Nirvana...
**[16:36] ---**
I am delivered. You can no longer read my mind.
**[16:39] ---**
My sword has attained
the realm of the bodhisattvas.
**[16:42] ---**
No, you're just not thinking anything.
**[16:45] ---**
That has nothing at all
to do with being a knight.
**[16:48] ---**
Non-self: Without drawing the breath of life,
a life-taking blow is struck.
**[16:53] ---**
This strike, delivered unawares
to even masters of breath-reading,
**[16:57] ---**
imparts a truly fatal blow.
**[17:01] ---**
Hmph, villain. Die now.
**[17:04] ---**
You didn't even hesitate.
**[17:08] ---**
So the 8th has a ruthless professional, does it?
**[17:12] ---**
Perhaps I underestimated you
somewhat without realizing it.
**[17:18] ---**
Insects?!
**[17:21] ---**
D-Damn it!
**[17:29] ---**
Where's Giovanni?!
**[17:32] ---**
--Right here.
--No, dumbass, I mean his head!
**[17:37] ---**
My research into the Insects
has been productive.
**[17:40] ---**
I took part in an Adolla Link.
**[17:43] ---**
We'll meet again.
**[17:47] ---**
Have all of your men been accounted for?
**[17:50] ---**
The damage was worse than I imagined.
**[17:52] ---**
However, we're now aware of
just how dangerous the White-Clad are.
**[17:56] ---**
If Crewman Oze hadn't been here,
the damage would have been far worse.
**[18:01] ---**
Well, Brother?
**[18:03] ---**
Do you understand my--
the 8th's work a little better now?
**[18:09] ---**
Yeah, I guess.
**[18:12] ---**
But he's no good! He only
thinks of you as a meat shield!
**[18:16] ---**
Well, I guess it goes without saying now...
**[18:27] ---**
...but I want to return to the 8th.
**[18:31] ---**
Indeed. Your ability is
better suited for the Fire Force.
**[18:36] ---**
It's not just my ability;
my ambitions are a fit for the Fire Force!
**[18:41] ---**
I see. I'll start the paperwork
to have you transferred back to the 8th.
**[18:47] ---**
W-Were you testing me, sir?
**[18:50] ---**
I was concerned with whether
a little princess like you...
**[18:53] ---**
...could fight against
the ever-more-radical White-Clad.
**[18:57] ---**
You did well today.
**[19:01] ---**
Thank you very much, sir.
**[19:04] ---**
Hey! You keep away from the Oze family!
**[19:07] ---**
The heat source readings have gone silent.
We're out of the woods now.
**[19:11] ---**
Search for the remains of those
who have fallen in the line of duty.
**[19:14] ---**
Find as many of them as you can.
**[19:17] ---**
I will take the wounded and return with them...
**[19:22] ---**
...back to the surface.
**[19:28] ---**
It sure is a relief to see the sun again.
**[19:32] ---**
What Dr. Giovanni said bothers me.
**[19:35] ---**
Only those who have an Adolla Burst
or have been connected to Adolla
**[19:38] ---**
are capable of an Adolla Link?
**[19:42] ---**
If that's true...
**[19:46] ---**
He's more-or-less okay.
**[19:48] ---**
He's lost his right hand and left leg,
and is burned and cut up from head to toe,
**[19:52] ---**
but he's still alive. He's got
the will to live of a potato.
**[19:58] ---**
You really did manage to hang in there...
**[20:00] ---**
...until you were dug up.
**[20:02] ---**
Crewman Kotatsu, it's thanks to you
that Juggernaut survived.
**[20:06] ---**
"Dramatic sting"
**[20:07] ---**
Thank you.
**[20:09] ---**
I'm the one who really got rescued.
**[20:12] ---**
If it weren't for Platoon Leader Hajiki
and Crewman Noto, I...
**[20:17] ---**
...wouldn't be here right now...
**[20:20] ---**
If we didn't have the 8th's help,
we might have all been wiped out.
**[20:24] ---**
The military and the Fire Force
can't afford to be so disconnected.
**[20:28] ---**
Tokyo has to unite.
**[20:30] ---**
I truly am glad that we made it through this
without losing you young crewmen.
**[20:39] ---**
Are you thinking about Maki?
**[20:41] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[20:43] ---**
As of today, she has gone
back to the Fire Force.
**[20:47] ---**
Are you still anxious about her?
**[20:49] ---**
I want to let my daughter do as she wishes...
**[20:53] ---**
...but I'm still worried about her.
**[20:55] ---**
Maki's ability is a super power
she got from her mother, after all.
**[21:00] ---**
I'm not nearly that strong.
**[21:02] ---**
Madoka-*chan*, when you quit the military
to become a homemaker,
**[21:05] ---**
did you also feel discontent about it?
**[21:08] ---**
It's all I can do to keep my own home safe.
**[21:12] ---**
But Maki isn't like me.
**[21:16] ---**
She may be our innocent,
adorable little daughter around us,
**[21:20] ---**
but she has an incredibly
powerful strength and will.
**[21:24] ---**
Oh yes, and she gets that from you.
**[21:29] ---**
Let's watch over our daughter together.
**[21:36] ---**
Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
**[21:40] ---**
"Platoon Leader"
"Maki Oze"
**[21:43] ---**
At last, Maki-*san* has made platoon leader.
**[21:46] ---**
Very impressive.
**[21:49] ---**
When we don't even have a platoon?
**[21:51] ---**
Meaning what?
**[21:52] ---**
That nothing is different from before.
**[21:57] ---**
Are you sure, 8th? You're okay with this?
**[22:00] ---**
"Fish Beat"
**[22:01] ---**
"Fish Beat"
"No squads, either"
**[22:04] ---**
It's like the 8th is playing
Fire Force dress-up.
**[22:07] ---**
It's nice and peaceful
when they're all idiots, huh?
**[22:09] ---**
*You're* the one who recruited them.
**[22:11] ---**
Still...
**[22:17] ---**
...they're the real deal.
**[22:23] ---**
"To be continued"
**[23:56] ---**

**[23:58] ---**
"Next time"
**[24:00] ---**
I'll try harder, too!

**[24:08] ---**
