[00:08] ---
    As the world was being covered in ash,
    one man appeared.
[00:13] ---
    He would be later be called Raffles I.
[00:17] ---
    Raffles took his disciples and
    left on a journey in search of light.
[00:22] ---
    At the end of his journey,
    he found an "unsullied flame,"
[00:26] ---
    and brought forth the light that
    would be mankind's salvation.
[00:43] ---
    Here I come, Sho!
[00:44] ---
    Stop playing at being my brother!
[00:51] ---
    This is unpleasant. Why do you persist?
[00:54] ---
    You have no memories of me, either, do you?
[00:56] ---
    Yes, your face! When you were
    a baby, Sho, you'd laugh, and cry,
[01:00] ---
    and act a lot more human!
[01:06] ---
    Was that too dark? It's all right now.
    Your big brother helped you out.
[01:12] ---
    That was your memory.
    What an unpleasant vision.
[01:17] ---
    Stop coming in uninvited!
[01:18] ---
    We used to be brothers!
[01:20] ---
    Stop!
[01:21] ---
    No way!
[01:23] ---
    Not until I get the real you back!
[01:28] ---
    Accelerate...
[01:30] ---
    ...back to the time when we were brothers...
[01:33] ---
    ...and take hold of it!
[01:43] ---
    You're the devil. Devil!
[01:45] ---
    You disgust me.
[01:46] ---
    Just look at his face. When his family died,
[01:51] ---
    word is that's the way he smiled.
[01:55] ---
    These are Shinra Kusakabe's memories?
[02:02] ---
    Just hold on.
[02:03] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe's memories
    are flowing into my head.
[02:15] ---
    Frankly,
[02:16] ---
    I don't know what kind of feelings
    I'll have when I see you, Sho.
[02:21] ---
    Even so, the promise I made Mom
[02:24] ---
    is the bond that keeps our family together!
[02:29] ---
    Promises... Bonds...
[02:32] ---
    What do those things even mean?
[02:36] ---
    You're right. The promise I made
    to Mom is important to me,
[02:40] ---
    but now that I'm seeing you like this...
[02:43] ---
    ...the promise doesn't have
    anything to do with it.
[02:46] ---
    Whatever the case, it doesn't matter to me.
[02:50] ---
    Are you sure?
[02:58] ---
    Look, Kusakabe is here.
[03:00] ---
    Mother-killer.
[03:02] ---
    I heard he killed his baby brother, too.
[03:04] ---
    Huh? How?
[03:06] ---
    He burned him up. What is he, a devil?
[03:09] ---
    It wasn't me. Someone was there...
    during the fire...
[03:14] ---
    Someone besides Mom and Sho.
[03:18] ---
    I'm going to find him... and I swear,
    no matter what, I'll tear him a new one!
[03:23] ---
    Did you see his face just now?
[03:25] ---
    He's the devil.
[03:26] ---
    Leave me alone. Ever since the fire,
    I get that nervous smile.
[03:32] ---
    I killed Sho?
[03:35] ---
    I'm not the devil!
[03:39] ---
    I'd sure like to see you again...
[03:42] ---
    Mom... Sho...
[03:47] ---
    What is the point of
    showing me these memories?
[03:50] ---
    I am not your brother!
[03:55] ---
    You and I are the same.
[03:58] ---
    How is it that when we were little,
    we were able to smile,
[04:01] ---
    but now, neither of can openly do so anymore?
[04:04] ---
    I don't have a past. I don't need a past.
[04:24] ---
    Is this memory... one which I've lost?
[04:28] ---
    Twelve years ago, we were a family.
[04:33] ---
    Mom, and you, and me.
[04:39] ---
    Up until that fire broke out,
[04:41] ---
    you and I both could smile
    without having to think about it.
[04:46] ---
    We just merrily smiled, every day, with Mom...
[04:49] ---
    ...and we were happy.
[04:52] ---
    We were brothers, and we were a family.
[04:56] ---
    Sho...
[04:57] ---
    Shinra...
[05:00] ---
    I love you.
[05:03] ---
    This woman... is our mother...?
[05:07] ---
    Mom, what are you making?
[05:09] ---
    Hamburger.
[05:11] ---
    Hooray!
[05:14] ---
    I'm washing my hands now, just hold on, okay?
[05:17] ---
    Let me handle it, Mom. I'll go help him.
[05:20] ---
    I'm coming, Sho!
[05:24] ---
    Are you okay? Your big brother
    is here, so don't you worry.
[05:30] ---
    The wind must have blown that on you.
[05:33] ---
    Sorry, sorry. I'll get that for you right now.
[05:39] ---
    Dark... Scary... Help...
[05:47] ---
    The light...
[05:50] ---
    Was that too dark? It's all right now.
    Your big brother helped you out.
[05:57] ---
    Stop crying, now. Your big brother is a hero.
[06:04] ---
    See? Don't worry. Your big brother
    will always be in your corner.
[06:22] ---
    You were in the dark a long time, huh?
[06:24] ---
    I'm sorry for leaving you
    by yourself for so long.
[06:32] ---
    Let's get out of this place,
    and go someplace more bright.
[06:36] ---
    I'll take you there.
[06:39] ---
    This man is... my brother...
[06:44] ---
    Let's go home.
[06:46] ---
    "Episode 23:
    Smiles"
[06:55] ---
    Ah! Shinra-kun!
[07:04] ---
    Sho, this isn't your fault...
[07:12] ---
    Haumea!
[07:13] ---
    Hi-dee 'lo.
[08:47] ---
    Oh, my. It looks like he
    couldn't control his speed,
[08:50] ---
    and ended up stabbing himself.
[08:53] ---
    Shinra Kusakabe bears an Adolla Burst.
[08:56] ---
    We can't have him dying on us.
    I will withdraw with him.
[09:02] ---
    This is bad! Another enemy has shown up!
[09:05] ---
    Who the hell are you? You're the ones
    who abducted Sho, aren't you?
[09:13] ---
    What do you plan to do after
    you collect your Adolla Bursts?
[09:17] ---
    The Great Cataclysm, 250 years ago,
    seems to have been a misfire.
[09:22] ---
    By gathering Adolla Bursts, we're going to
    kick-start the Great Cataclysm again!
[09:28] ---
    That's why we're using bugs
    to create pyrokinetics,
[09:31] ---
    and searching for Adolla Bursts!
[09:34] ---
    Also, we need you and Sho to do that!
[09:36] ---
    Hey! Why are you telling him?!
[09:39] ---
    Whoops...
[09:40] ---
    Who cares? Even if they know,
    there's no way they can stop us.
[09:45] ---
    Now then, let's claim Shinra Kusakabe.
[09:50] ---
    Oh? Sho, is something wrong?
[09:53] ---
    First, tell me what happened 12 years ago.
[09:56] ---
    Who can say? I'm a sucker for forceful men,
[10:00] ---
    so why don't you beat it out of me?
[10:02] ---
    Stop screwing around.
[10:03] ---
    Come on, out of the way.
[10:05] ---
    Severed Universe.
[10:08] ---
    Oh? Is something the matter?
[10:10] ---
    Time isn't stopping. My Link has been cut.
[10:19] ---
    Sho!
[10:24] ---
    Sho!
[10:34] ---
    What have you done?!
[10:37] ---
    What do you know? You're still pretty lively,
    aren't you? Amazing, amazing!
[10:42] ---
    Okay, why don't we get going, too?
[10:45] ---
    Sh-Shinra-kun!
[10:49] ---
    What the hey?
[10:56] ---
    I was trying for her head, but got deflected.
[10:59] ---
    Arthur... Lieutenant...
[11:06] ---
    I'm going to be the one to put you down, Devil!
[11:09] ---
    No dying on me in here!
[11:11] ---
    Some uninvited intruders have turned up. Man...
[11:16] ---
    Arthur, she uses some kind of strange technique.
[11:22] ---
    You keep quiet. Don't talk. Hush up.
[11:26] ---
    Now, you're in my way. Move. Move it.
[11:30] ---
    Hmm?
[11:33] ---
    Huh? It didn't work.
[11:35] ---
    What a load. A scare technique? Come at me.
[11:39] ---
    Plasma... Must be interfering
    with my electric signal.
[11:44] ---
    Ah! You're a pain-in-the-ass opponent!
[11:48] ---
    Haumea! We're out of time! We have to go!
[11:51] ---
    Yeah! I know! It'll only take
    a moment to crush these guys!
[11:56] ---
    Now what is it?
[11:59] ---
    My Tekkyo...
[12:01] ---
    Did the electrical system short out?
[12:05] ---
    Help Shinra while I keep her at bay!
[12:07] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[12:09] ---
    Lieutenant!
[12:11] ---
    Bah! Plasma!
[12:13] ---
    That plasma is getting my wires crossed,
    and I can't reach their nerves!
[12:18] ---
    Damn that plasma-user!
[12:20] ---
    He's a real pain in the ass.
[12:29] ---
    Shinra, you're going to be okay now.
[12:34] ---
    Oh! The earthquake is starting.
[12:39] ---
    This tremor...
[12:40] ---
    It's shaking in the creepiest way...
[12:42] ---
    It is the doing of the Evangelist!
[12:46] ---
    We're out of time, Haumea!
[12:48] ---
    See you later, if you survive.
[12:52] ---
    Sho...
[12:55] ---
    --Wait! Give Sho back!
[12:57] ---
    --No! Don't move!
    --Wait! Give Sho back!
[13:03] ---
    We're getting out of here, too!
[13:34] ---
    It's still shaking.
[13:36] ---
    This is going on much too long.
[13:38] ---
    She said it was the Evangelist's doing.
    What are they up to?
[13:46] ---
    Sh-Sho is...
[13:48] ---
    Shinra, right now, you just hold on tight!
[13:52] ---
    If you survive, you can see your brother again!
[13:57] ---
    To the emergency room?
[13:59] ---
    Good idea. Let's call on our colleague.
[14:02] ---
    When it comes to treating pyrokinetics,
    no one can beat her.
[14:16] ---
    "Special Fire Hospital 6"
[14:18] ---
    Director Huang!
[14:20] ---
    Director Kayoko Huang!
SIGN    "Lieutenant" "Second-generation pyrokinetic" "Asako Hague"
[14:26] ---
    Emergency!
[14:27] ---
    What is it, Lieutenant Hague?
SIGN    "Captain" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Kayoko Huang"
[14:40] ---
    Captain Huang, my gratitude.
    I have a gravely injured crewman.
[14:44] ---
    We were informed by the empire.
[14:47] ---
    Was he injured during that
    underground operation?
[14:49] ---
    Yes.
[14:51] ---
    How did the Nether investigation go?
[14:54] ---
    Any guesses what's causing
    that incessant quaking?
[14:57] ---
    Are you sure the great Sol isn't mad at the 8th
[14:59] ---
    for violating the forbidden Nether?
[15:02] ---
    That isn't it. It turns out
    this "Evangelist" and the White-Clad
[15:07] ---
    have been creating man-made Infernals.
[15:10] ---
    They're looking for those
    who possess Adolla Bursts,
[15:12] ---
    flames that come from the underworld Adolla,
[15:15] ---
    in order to destroy the world.
[15:19] ---
    I'll ask you all about it later.
[15:23] ---
    Captain Huang...
[15:25] ---
    ...can you fix up Shinra?
[15:30] ---
    Honestly, it will be tough. Maybe if
    the patient has enough strength left...
[15:35] ---
    And even if we do save his life,
    the worst-case scenario
[15:38] ---
    is that he'll suffer lasting effects,
    such as being paralyzed.
[15:43] ---
    Patient is a third generation,
    and possesses an Adolla Burst, you say?
[15:47] ---
    Yes.
[15:48] ---
    I have never come into contact with
    the sacred flame known as an Adolla Burst.
[15:54] ---
    There is no telling what may happen.
[15:57] ---
    He's my valued crewman. Captain Huang...
[16:02] ---
    ...please do your best.
[16:06] ---
    I'll try. I'll do everything I can.
[16:10] ---
    "Operating"
[16:16] ---
    O Sol, please grant Shinra-san
    the light of life.
[16:24] ---
    Extraction of the sword successful.
    His vitals have stabilized, too.
[16:30] ---
    Now I have to treat him with my ability.
    Then again, with a wound like this...
[16:34] ---
    I'm not sure my ability alone can heal it.
[16:37] ---
    It rests with the strength
    of his flame, as well.
[16:45] ---
    Here goes.
[16:47] ---
    Now beginning the final operation
    on patient Shinra Kusakabe.
[16:52] ---
    Rod of Asclepius!
[17:01] ---
    Serpent, revitalize him!
[17:11] ---
    It's been an hour since the operation started.
[17:14] ---
    Where are the others?
[17:15] ---
    The sister went to pray for Kusakabe.
[17:19] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa is also being treated,
[17:21] ---
    and Investigator Licht is investigating.
[17:24] ---
    What about Vulcan?
[17:25] ---
    He's with Lisa-san.
[17:28] ---
    Apparently, Lisa-san is an emotional wreck.
[17:35] ---
    So is the 6th a hospital?
    What kind of company is this?
[17:39] ---
    You really don't know anything, huh?
[17:42] ---
    You're aware that all medical
    treatment in the empire
[17:44] ---
    are rites that can only be performed
    by the Holy Sol Temple, right?
[17:48] ---
    You see, like the 1st, the 6th is
    an entity of the Holy Sol Temple,
[17:53] ---
    and is the company that
    specializes in medical treatment.
[17:55] ---
    Uh-huh. So that means this is
    a Holy Sol Temple. One that's a hospital.
[18:02] ---
    It's a Special Fire Force Company!
[18:04] ---
    I hear that no one is better than
    the 6th's Captain Huang
[18:07] ---
    when it comes to treating pyrokinetics.
[18:10] ---
    Word is that she uses
    a unique ability to heal them.
[18:15] ---
    Is there something special about
    Captain Huang's treatment?
[18:19] ---
    Apparently, her ability
    controls a flaming serpent
[18:22] ---
    that treats injuries, illnesses,
    and all sorts of symptoms.
[18:26] ---
    When the patient is a pyrokinetic,
    it also makes use of their flame
[18:30] ---
    to instantly relieve them of their suffering.
[18:36] ---
    It's a pretty flame.
[18:38] ---
    At this rate, there should be no problem at all.
[18:41] ---
    This Adolla Burst is incredible.
[18:45] ---
    He's used up all of his flame regenerating,
[18:48] ---
    so it may be a few days before he wakes up.
[18:51] ---
    "Operating"
[18:55] ---
    It's been three days.
[18:58] ---
    It's clear out.
[19:00] ---
    I'm awake.
[19:04] ---
    I'm sure hungry. I want some rice.
[19:11] ---
    What happened to Sho?
    I managed to save him, but...
[19:16] ---
    Has he gone back to the Evangelist again?
[19:26] ---
    I should be looking at
    this sky with my brother...
[19:34] ---
    Damn it!
[19:35] ---
    Impressive. You're awake,
    just like Captain Huang predicted.
[19:41] ---
    Must be the light from the sun,
    but you don't even look that pale.
[19:47] ---
    That being said, you're still
    on the mend. At ease.
[19:52] ---
    I'm just glad you're all right.
[19:54] ---
    Captain Burns? What are you doing here, sir?
[19:58] ---
    I came to check up on you.
[20:00] ---
    Check up? You came here for
    a second class Fire Soldier from the 8th?
[20:07] ---
    Am I putting you out?
[20:09] ---
    No, sir.
[20:10] ---
    If you're up to it, how about
    a little check-up visit chat?
[20:17] ---
    About that fire that happened 12 years ago.
[20:25] ---
    Get dressed. How about we
    take in some of the air outside
[20:28] ---
    while you have some rice?
[20:41] ---
    Are you a big eater?
[20:43] ---
    Yes, sir, more than usual.
[20:46] ---
    You sure have grown up.
[20:50] ---
    You've known who I was for
    the last 12 years, haven't you?
[20:56] ---
    You really were the Fire Soldier
    who was there at the time.
[21:00] ---
    You knew everything, sir?
[21:02] ---
    Yeah. If I had been the one who
    reported the truth of that fire,
[21:07] ---
    you wouldn't have had to bear the stigma
    of killing your mom and brother.
[21:10] ---
    I don't care what happened to me!
[21:12] ---
    Captain Burns, did you know
    that Sho was still alive, too?
[21:16] ---
    Yeah... I knew.
[21:18] ---
    Then, did you know he had been
    taken away to the Evangelist, too, sir?
[21:23] ---
    Yeah... I knew.
[21:26] ---
    Why didn't you help him?!
[21:29] ---
    Why didn't you say anything to me?
[21:31] ---
    If I'd known, I wouldn't have left Sho
    in that darkness for 12 years!
[21:38] ---
    After 12 years, you're all grown up,
    and you still nearly died, so if I had told you,
[21:43] ---
    what do you think you could have done?
[21:46] ---
    This was a fluke. I'm not the same
    as I was when we first sparred.
[21:51] ---
    I'm not so sure. The fluke is that you survived.
[21:55] ---
    If you're really not the same, then show me.
[21:59] ---
    Come at me.

    Uses the same claws to defend someone else

    Isn't that what life's about?
[22:43] ---
    A secret known to none
[22:44] ---
    For so long almost seems to disappear
    but never does
[22:48] ---
    Been holding on to it
[22:50] ---
    While spending a night in the fire
[22:52] ---
    The more they're attracted,
    the more the ignorant laugh
[22:55] ---
    What used to make up the universe
    until yesterday takes the helm
[22:58] ---
    The entire range of emotions that breathes
[23:01] ---
    Don't want to take away
    what I haven't even experienced
[23:05] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[23:11] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[23:17] ---
    Don't get in my way anymore
