**[00:01] ---**
Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:08] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:14] ---**
...is death by fire.
**[00:22] ---**
--It's too hot!
--It's too hot!
**[00:26] ---**
Captain Shinmon! Where did you go?!
**[00:28] ---**
You can't tell us you've forgotten about us!
**[02:15] ---**
"Episode 24:
Signs of Upheaval"
**[02:29] ---**
We came here to learn how to use
Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene!
**[02:33] ---**
Captain Shinmon! What is the purpose of this?!
**[02:39] ---**
Captain Shinmon, what *is* the purpose of that?
**[02:43] ---**
I don't know. It's proto-nationalist hazing.
**[02:47] ---**
Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene
**[02:49] ---**
is a power beyond the limits
of the limits of one's strength.
**[02:53] ---**
So this is also necessary to overcome
the limits of the limits of one's strength.
**[02:58] ---**
Konro did this to me when I was a kid.
**[03:01] ---**
Ah.
**[03:17] ---**
It's called Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene.
It's no exaggeration to say
**[03:20] ---**
that when someone can use
this Hysterical Strength at will,
**[03:23] ---**
they become a full-fledged *hikeshi*.
**[03:26] ---**
And the captain of the 8th?
He's God's gift to Hysterical Strength.
**[03:32] ---**
That man is the model of
what a *hikeshi* should be.
**[03:36] ---**
Captain Obi?
**[03:38] ---**
Nobody else who is unpowered
can do the things he can.
**[03:42] ---**
Wh-What is the purpose of this?!
**[03:46] ---**
What is...
**[03:48] ---**
...the purpose...
**[03:49] ---**
...of this?!
**[03:51] ---**
What is...
**[03:53] ---**
...the purpose...
**[03:57] ---**
We're roasted over a fire...
dragged through town behind a wagon...
**[04:04] ---**
...dipped undressed and upside-down
in water... then spun around...
**[04:09] ---**
What is... the purpose of this...?
**[04:13] ---**
Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene
**[04:14] ---**
requires you to go beyond
the limit of your limits.
**[04:17] ---**
Right...
**[04:19] ---**
I said the same thing when Konro did this to me.
**[04:21] ---**
And...?
**[04:26] ---**
I'm sure there was some reason for all of this.
**[04:30] ---**
I never actually checked, though.
**[04:32] ---**
"Huh..."
**[04:32] ---**
Huh...?
**[04:33] ---**
"Seriously?"
**[04:35] ---**
Okay, let's do this.
**[04:37] ---**
Was there really no point to all of that, sir?
**[04:40] ---**
I don't know. Are you going to
worry about every little thing?
**[04:44] ---**
--Hey, screw you, man!
--What the hell was all that?!
**[04:46] ---**
--Die, damn you!
--That was complete abuse of power!
**[04:48] ---**
Maybe it's the hazing,
but you have a lot of pent-up anger.
**[04:51] ---**
Nice. I can feel the breath of life
in every one of your attacks.
**[04:56] ---**
I can even sense you trying to kill me.
**[04:58] ---**
Of course you can, sir!
It's the bitterness from our anger!
**[05:07] ---**
Whoa, are you okay?!
**[05:13] ---**
That's going too far!
**[05:17] ---**
Anger begets anger. If you turn
your bloodlust on someone,
**[05:22] ---**
that bloodlust is guaranteed
to come right back to you.
**[05:28] ---**
You two have learned
the breath of life. Your lives,
**[05:32] ---**
your friends' lives, your enemies' lives...
the importance of all life.
**[05:41] ---**
But you still take it too lightly.
**[05:45] ---**
To face a fire scene
**[05:48] ---**
is to cast yourselves into the purifying fires
of the Wisdom King Acala.
**[05:52] ---**
The moment you drop your guard
will be your last.
**[05:55] ---**
Acala's flames will come and
snuff your breath of life right out.
**[06:01] ---**
What you sense past the breath of life is...
**[06:06] ---**
"The Press of Death"
**[06:11] ---**
Look alive! Or Acala will claim your life.
**[06:18] ---**
How?! He's faster than my Rapid!
**[06:26] ---**
That was a simple kick and palm strike...
**[06:29] ---**
This is the Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene?
**[06:32] ---**
--We're not...
--...done yet!
**[07:07] ---**
I'm not done yet...!
**[07:13] ---**
D-Damn...
**[07:15] ---**
They've been at it for five hours.
**[07:18] ---**
They've used up all the oxygen
in their bodies. They're blacking out.
**[07:23] ---**
If they keep this up any longer,
**[07:25] ---**
they'll develop tephrosis.
**[07:27] ---**
Overheated?
**[07:32] ---**
Captain Shinmon, isn't that
enough training for one day?
**[07:35] ---**
Training? I don't remember even starting that.
**[07:41] ---**
Get up. The training begins now.
**[07:51] ---**
Hey, Konro, are you here?
**[07:52] ---**
Wah! The captain of the 5th?!
Are you here to have Waka train you, too?
**[07:58] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
I'm a researcher, not a barbarian.
**[08:03] ---**
I've come to hear all about
the story you mentioned yesterday,
**[08:06] ---**
about when you fought that demon two years ago.
**[08:08] ---**
Hmm? Yesterday?
You mean about the doppelganger?
**[08:13] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
I want to hear more about it.
**[08:17] ---**
You want to hear more? I don't know what to say.
**[08:20] ---**
There isn't anything more than
what I said yesterday. Anyhow,
**[08:24] ---**
why don't you come in?
**[08:26] ---**
I thought as much, so we're here
to take it up with you physically.
**[08:30] ---**
Please go on in.
**[08:32] ---**
There's someone else with you?
**[08:36] ---**
Special Fire Force Company 6
Captain Kayoko Huang.
**[08:41] ---**
Kayoko-*san*, this is the one.
**[08:43] ---**
I'll start with a palpatory exam.
**[08:45] ---**
What are they doing to me?
**[08:50] ---**
What's the matter? Get up, already.
**[08:52] ---**
The training is just starting?
**[08:55] ---**
If you keep this up any longer,
they're going to get tephrosis!
**[08:58] ---**
This training is to push them
beyond their limits.
**[09:02] ---**
Now, stand up!
**[09:08] ---**
I was... never going... to quit...
**[09:14] ---**
...in the... first place...
**[09:18] ---**
That just sounds like bravado to me.
**[09:32] ---**
Just standing there getting hit
is the same as quitting.
**[09:40] ---**
Come on, what's wrong with you?
Move, or you're dead.
**[09:45] ---**
Your enemy isn't going to wait for you.
**[09:47] ---**
I know that... sir...
**[10:01] ---**
All the oxygen in my body... I can't breathe...
**[10:07] ---**
I can feel my own life burning...
**[10:12] ---**
My consciousness...
**[10:14] ---**
...is fading...
**[10:23] ---**
A fire scene...?
**[10:27] ---**
The purifying flame of Acala...
**[10:31] ---**
A fire scene... I'm in
the middle of a fire scene...
**[10:37] ---**
Shinra!
**[10:41] ---**
Shinra!
**[10:52] ---**
Is this...?
**[10:55] ---**
But I'm in Asakusa right now...
**[11:05] ---**
Sho...
**[11:08] ---**
Mom...
**[11:11] ---**
If I don't do something, I'll be killed.
**[11:14] ---**
I don't ever want to lose them again.
**[11:17] ---**
Precious life... Unique...
**[11:22] ---**
Once it's gone, there's no getting it back.
**[11:29] ---**
Tension and fear are making me stiffen up.
**[11:34] ---**
If I don't move, I'll die.
**[11:36] ---**
I'll be killed. Once I'm dead, it's all over.
**[11:43] ---**
Am I just a coward?
**[11:46] ---**
Am I going to let this end
without doing something?
**[11:50] ---**
What do I do? What can I do?
**[11:55] ---**
I've used up everything that I have.
There isn't anything left.
**[12:00] ---**
So what can I do?
**[12:00] ---**
"So what can I do"
**[12:11] ---**
"Survival instinct"
**[12:13] ---**
Survival instinct.
**[12:16] ---**
The strain of death is making me smile.
**[12:21] ---**
"Pinch of Energy"
**[12:22] ---**
A Pinch of Energy.
**[12:26] ---**
What is the fear of death giving me?
**[12:29] ---**
"The Press of Death"
**[12:34] ---**
"The Press of Death"
**[12:43] ---**
Those flames-- Now you're cooking.
**[13:09] ---**
Have you learned anything?
**[13:11] ---**
Your flame is not special, nor different
from the flames of other pyrokinetics.
**[13:17] ---**
And if your flame has
no special characteristics,
**[13:19] ---**
then there must be some other trigger
for you to Adolla Link.
**[13:23] ---**
Lieutenant Konro, both you
and Captain Hague from the 4th
**[13:27] ---**
underwent your Adolla Links
during the Great Fire.
**[13:31] ---**
There were major flames,
and many people's deaths.
**[13:35] ---**
Perhaps something about that
served as the trigger.
**[13:39] ---**
Kayoko-*san*,
**[13:40] ---**
you just said his flame was
no different from a normal one.
**[13:44] ---**
Having actually touched an Adolla Burst,
**[13:46] ---**
is there anything different about it
that sets it apart from normal flames?
**[14:02] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[14:03] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[14:06] ---**
I'm going to go around and
ask the others who have had Adolla Links.
**[14:09] ---**
I know Captain Hague is
someone else who carries a stigma.
**[14:13] ---**
Talking to him might reveal something.
**[14:16] ---**
I bear a holy scar,
and the White-Clad came after me.
**[14:20] ---**
Are we sure the captain is safe?
**[14:22] ---**
We'd better hurry.
**[14:32] ---**
Good! Yes, very good!
**[14:36] ---**
You are someone with considerable skill.
**[14:39] ---**
Who are you? I assume you are
a member of the White-Clad.
**[14:44] ---**
You who bear a stigma, I have come for you.
**[14:51] ---**
A golden arm...
**[15:00] ---**
How did you... get behind me...?
**[15:03] ---**
There is nothing behind you.
**[15:07] ---**
The protectors are not the only
weapons the Evangelist has.
**[15:12] ---**
What exactly... are you?
**[15:18] ---**
A Destroyer.
**[15:24] ---**
A Fire Soldier's duty is to protect
human lives and property.
**[15:30] ---**
But one's own life is the most important thing.
**[15:35] ---**
Without one's life, lives that may
have been saved can no longer be.
**[15:41] ---**
*Látom*.
**[15:42] ---**
*Látom*.
**[15:47] ---**
The death of one of your men sure takes a toll.
**[15:51] ---**
Pan, always make rational decisions,
always act sensibly,
**[15:58] ---**
and at a scene, always treat your
own person with great care.
**[16:02] ---**
We are not heroes. We are human,
just like the victims of these fires.
**[16:10] ---**
Do you aspire to be a hero, sir?
**[16:12] ---**
Good question.
**[16:15] ---**
I think it would be nice if there were
such beings beyond our understanding.
**[16:34] ---**
Help me get him down from there.
**[16:36] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[16:47] ---**
There's no sign of any struggle in here.
**[16:50] ---**
Are we sure that Captain Hague
didn't take his own life?
**[16:53] ---**
Captain Hague has been different
ever since the Great Fire two years ago.
**[16:59] ---**
But he's not someone who would
willingly throw his life away.
**[17:03] ---**
Then that means...
**[17:04] ---**
...that Captain Hague was done in
without any chance to fight back.
**[17:10] ---**
This was a significantly dangerous foe.
**[17:16] ---**
He's burning so quietly.
But also, incredibly hot.
**[17:22] ---**
He's starting to get the hang of it.
**[17:34] ---**
Captain Hague?
**[17:36] ---**
In an Adolla Link?
**[17:47] ---**
Not yet! Not yet! Not yet!
**[17:50] ---**
Not yet!
**[17:51] ---**
Not yet, not yet!
**[17:54] ---**
This is what it is to die.
Hysterical Strength of a Fire Scene--
**[17:59] ---**
I can't yet... I can't yet die here!
**[18:11] ---**
Captain Shimon, is that...?
**[18:14] ---**
Yeah. The flame beyond
the limits of one's limits.
**[18:19] ---**
They're doing it.
**[18:21] ---**
All right, that's enough,
both of you. Nicely done.
**[18:31] ---**
Get so you can go through
that sensation at any time.
**[18:34] ---**
What... have I done?
**[18:39] ---**
Looks like the training is
right on schedule for the first day.
**[18:43] ---**
What is it, Shinra?
**[18:45] ---**
That was the "Press of Death."
**[18:46] ---**
"The Press of Death"
**[18:54] ---**
Captain Hague is dead?
**[19:14] ---**
Captain Hague's death was written up
as a suicide, owing to his masochism.
**[19:21] ---**
However, the unusual condition of his body,
pierced head to toe with stakes,
**[19:26] ---**
made for a gruesome sight that was
utterly inconceivable as a suicide.
**[19:34] ---**
Okay then...
**[19:38] ---**
Waka, Hague over at the 4th was...
**[19:41] ---**
The White-Clad may come around here again.
**[19:45] ---**
Konro, don't go off on your own
and do anything behind my back.
**[19:49] ---**
Shinra and the others were saying
**[19:52] ---**
that the time had come
for the empire to be united.
**[19:56] ---**
As long as it benefits Asakusa
and the 8th, it's fine with me.
**[20:03] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[20:09] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[20:11] ---**
May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.
**[20:16] ---**
*Látom*.
**[20:21] ---**
Captain Hague appears to have
been killed in the line of duty.
**[20:24] ---**
Captain Burns, since you also
possess a stigma, please be careful.
**[20:28] ---**
Perhaps you should consider having a bodyguard.
**[20:33] ---**
This is a trial being bestowed upon us by God.
**[20:38] ---**
As such, the 1st must set an example
**[20:41] ---**
as followers of the Holy Sol Temple.
**[20:46] ---**
We must demonstrate to all others by our conduct
**[20:49] ---**
that we will never back down
from this kind of terrorism.
**[20:54] ---**
May the flame of Sol be with us...
**[20:57] ---**
...that we become the swords of God...
**[20:59] ---**
...and dispel the darkness.
**[21:11] ---**
Okay, let's go and take this country back.
**[21:15] ---**
How does the sky feel after all this time?
**[21:20] ---**
Mm-hmm...
**[21:26] ---**
It is about to begin--
**[21:28] ---**
a new era for humanity!
**[21:35] ---**
Shinra, Arthur, Tamaki, it sounds like
your training in Asakusa went well.
**[21:41] ---**
Good work, all three of you.
**[21:43] ---**
--Thank you very much!
--Thank you very much!
**[21:44] ---**
Also, thanks to all of our operations so far,
**[21:47] ---**
we've managed to form partnerships
with each of the other companies.
**[21:52] ---**
After the incident with Nataku Son,
**[21:54] ---**
we've even managed to find
common cause with Haijima Industries.
**[21:57] ---**
That's right. When we started,
the 8th was fighting all on its own.
**[22:02] ---**
But before we knew it,
we managed to gain all these allies.
**[22:10] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[22:12] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to* *walking* *are* *weeded out*
**[22:16] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[22:18] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[22:21] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[22:22] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed* *to* *walking?*
**[22:26] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*
**[22:29] ---**
*but we're enveloped in warmth*
**[22:31] ---**
*Flames rise to show us the way*
**[22:32] ---**
The enemy is a mighty one.
There is still much we don't know.
**[22:35] ---**
But we have friends we can rely on
and allies who will stand with us.
**[22:36] ---**
*reminding us of a gentle melody*
**[22:42] ---**
Now is the time to muster all of our strength
to take down the White-Clad!
**[22:43] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[22:48] ---**
*I just smile, thinking that's fine with me*
**[22:49] ---**
Just you wait, Evangelist!
**[22:52] ---**
We're gonna kick your ass,
and protect the Tokyo Empire!
**[22:53] ---**
*If we shine, someday, our light will go out*
**[22:56] ---**
That's the reason why we...
**[22:58] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[23:00] ---**
...why the Special Fire Force is uniting!
**[23:04] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[23:08] ---**
"*Fire Force*, Season 2"
**[23:09] ---**
*Playthings that make sounds*
**[23:11] ---**
*and magic that chases pain away*
**[23:14] ---**
*are all precious treasures to me*
**[23:19] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[23:24] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[23:30] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[23:51] ---**
I see it... It's streaming in...
**[23:55] ---**
The world under a new sun...
**[23:59] ---**
The empire will become as it should be!
**[24:05] ---**
**[24:07] ---**
**[24:09] ---**
**[24:10] ---**
"See you later"
