[00:10] ---
    Raffles and his disciples used the flame
    bestowed by the great Sol
[00:14] ---
    and the technology cultivated
    by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
[00:20] ---
    The sacred flame of Amaterasu
    benefits the lives of mankind,
[00:25] ---
    and ended up establishing the foundation
    of a state in the Far East.
[00:49] ---
    "Fire Force"
[00:52] ---
    I'm glad to see you're feeling better.
[00:55] ---
    Yeah.
[00:56] ---
    Without you around, Arthur tends to
    go off, and be a real pain.
[01:01] ---
    Yeah.
[01:02] ---
    That jerk tried to dispose of some
    piled-up documents with Excalibur.
[01:08] ---
    Yeah.
[01:11] ---
    Say something other than "yeah," Devil.
[01:14] ---
    Yeah, okay.
[01:20] ---
    Listen...
[01:22] ---
    Don't do that in front of
    the sister and Maki-san, okay?
[01:28] ---
    You'll just make them worry again.
[01:30] ---
    I know you've got your brother
    and stuff on your mind,
[01:33] ---
    but you aren't all alone.
[01:36] ---
    Yeah.
[01:38] ---
    Well, thinking about it too hard
    won't help. Not your strong suit.
[01:42] ---
    Oh, shut up.
[01:44] ---
    Come to think of it, Tamaki's there, too.
[01:45] ---
    Yeah. Toss in the cat girl, too.
[02:10] ---
    I'm glad you got out of the hospital okay.
[02:13] ---
    Sorry to worry you.
[02:17] ---
    Is everything the same with the others?
[02:19] ---
    Yes.
[02:20] ---
    They're all quite well.
[02:25] ---
    "No running in the halls!!"
    "Special Fire Force Company 8"
[02:27] ---
    Shinra, congratulations on being discharged.
[02:30] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't come in person!
[02:32] ---
    I was worried about you.
[02:34] ---
    Oh, that's okay. You had to be
    standing by in case of a callout.
[02:43] ---
    Welcome back, Shinra.
    Glad to see the Adolla Burst is safe.
[02:48] ---
    Nothing that happens seems to kill him.
    Such a problem devil...
[02:55] ---
    Yo, Devil. Looks like you
    didn't get into heaven.
[03:00] ---
    What about you? Still haven't gone
    completely rotten, you oniony bastard?
[03:07] ---
    Good to have you back, Shinra.
[03:10] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:11] ---
    I'd like you to compile the incident reports
    on the Nether right away,
[03:15] ---
    but your report to the captain comes first.
[03:20] ---
    Congratulations on getting out, Shinra.
[03:24] ---
    Second Class Fire Soldier Shinra Kusakabe
[03:27] ---
    returning to duty as of this date.
[05:00] ---
    "Several weeks earlier"
[05:03] ---
    How has the 6th been recently?
[05:06] ---
    Doing just fine, sir.
    We have Captain Huang, after all.
[05:10] ---
    Things are nice and quiet--
[05:13] ---
    What the...?!
[05:19] ---
    Ho, so this is the light-speed you've
    attained by receiving grace, is it?
[05:30] ---
    Kusakabe-san! You should be on
    strict bed rest! Go back to your bed!
[05:36] ---
    Let them finish this. You're not
    going to be able to stop them.
[05:41] ---
    Burns is an old-fashioned hard-head.
[05:45] ---
    Heavy-handed interchange is all he knows.
[05:49] ---
    He's provoked by the young lad's growth,
    and simmering on the inside.
[05:54] ---
    Why didn't you tell me?!
[06:00] ---
    Whatever your reasons were, I don't accept them!
[06:03] ---
    Fire Soldiers have ambition.
    We can't act on personal feelings.
[06:09] ---
    Stand back.
[06:13] ---
    Looks like he's getting warmed up.
[06:27] ---
    Feels like I could get crushed
    just getting near him.
[06:29] ---
    By stoking his internal flame
[06:31] ---
    and circulating the heat energy
    produced by it throughout his body,
[06:35] ---
    he can exhibit a tremendous physical ability.
[06:38] ---
    Burns' body becomes an
    enormous mass of heat energy,
[06:41] ---
    which could rightly be called
    an embodiment of flame.
[06:45] ---
    Those who are weak lose their lives.
[06:48] ---
    That's why I couldn't afford
    to tell you the truth.
[06:51] ---
    If you want to know,
    then convince me by showing me
[06:54] ---
    that you're strong enough to hear it.
[06:56] ---
    Huh?!
[06:58] ---
    Captain Burns, you came here to tell me
    what happened 12 years ago!
[07:02] ---
    Quit screwing around!
[07:04] ---
    What's wrong? Don't think you can do it?
[07:06] ---
    No, you damn...
[07:11] ---
    ...liar!
[07:14] ---
    He just called a superior officer
    a damn liar, didn't he?
[07:17] ---
    He held back as hard as he could, though.
[07:22] ---
    Okay... You got it.
[07:26] ---
    I'm going to show you that I'm
    not as fragile as you think I am.
[07:47] ---
    All I could save was this one,
    vulnerable little life.
[07:53] ---
    I'll take him down... I'll take him down...
[07:55] ---
    That jerk is gonna pay... He's going down.
[08:03] ---
    I'm surprised you grew up this big and strong.
[08:06] ---
    You're going to tell me, whatever it takes!
[08:11] ---
    Is that all the resolve you have?
[08:14] ---
    No better than a candle flame.
[08:17] ---
    Don't mock me.
[08:20] ---
    I've got more than this!
[08:37] ---
    You're sure you won't regret
    anything I tell you?!
[08:40] ---
    As much as I hated flames,
    I became a Fire Soldier...
[08:43] ---
    ...so I could learn the truth!
[08:57] ---
    Imagine, that tiny little flame...
[09:01] ---
    ...growing to be as big as this...
[09:05] ---
    It's been a long time. My arm stings
    from where you hit me.
[09:10] ---
    You've gotten strong.
[09:14] ---
    You've made your resolve known.
    Very well, I'll tell you everything.
[09:19] ---
    What you know about that fire is not the truth.
[09:24] ---
    The group under the Evangelist
    that you fought...
[09:28] ---
    "Episode 24:
    The Burning Past"
[09:29] ---
    ...was already active 12 years ago.
[09:31] ---
    "Solar Year 198"
[09:40] ---
    Do you sense anything?
[09:42] ---
    The Evangelist said this was the area, right?
[09:45] ---
    A new Adolla Burst is going to be born.
[09:53] ---
    Aw, yeah!
[09:54] ---
    "Evangelist's Subordinate: Haumea"
[09:57] ---
    The Evangelist knew ahead of time
    that there would be a fire.
[10:01] ---
    Then the Evangelist and company really did...
[10:05] ---
    The cause of that fire was
    quite clear. It wasn't you.
[10:09] ---
    That's right! There was a demon Infernal there!
[10:14] ---
    "Evangelist's Subordinate: Haumea"
[10:15] ---
    We welcome you, third one.
[10:23] ---
    Sho!
[10:29] ---
    Shinra!
[10:29] ---
    Hurry! Run away! Hurry!
[10:36] ---
    Hurry... Shinra... Run away...
[10:50] ---
    A demon...?
[11:02] ---
    Sho! Sho!
[11:05] ---
    The source of that fire 12 years ago...
[11:10] ---
    ...was your younger brother, Sho.
[11:14] ---
    Sho! Sho!
[11:17] ---
    It was the effect of Sho's Adolla Burst
[11:19] ---
    that evoked your third-generation abilities.
[11:36] ---
    You understand the reason why
    we are blindfolded, right?
[11:40] ---
    Well, of course.
[11:42] ---
    If we look directly at the sun,
    we'll burn our eyes.
[11:46] ---
    Though the sun shineth,
    the children of men see it not;
[11:49] ---
    if thou desirest to draw nigh
    unto the celestial world,
[11:52] ---
    simply feel it in thy heart.
[12:11] ---
    The horned Infernal that you said you saw was...
[12:16] ---
    Mom...?
[12:22] ---
    It can't be... I've come all this way just to
    find that Infernal... and destroy it...
[12:46] ---
    The cause of the fire was Sho,
    and the demon Infernal I saw was my mom...
[12:52] ---
    In that case, whatever happened to my mom?
[12:57] ---
    I arrived on the fire scene
    15 minutes after it started.
[13:03] ---
    Where are the survivors inside?
    Why aren't they doing anything to put it out?!
[13:07] ---
    There's something strange about this fire!
[13:09] ---
    The water isn't knocking it down at all!
[13:14] ---
    Start fighting the fire again!
[13:16] ---
    Those of you who are third generation
    and can tolerate the flames, with me!
[13:20] ---
    We're charging in there
    and identifying any survivors!
[13:29] ---
    Three, two, one!
[13:36] ---
    A survivor!
[13:37] ---
    Get a paramedic!
[13:39] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:41] ---
    Let me go! My mom and Sho
    are still inside there!
[13:45] ---
    There's a bad demon close by!
[13:47] ---
    --It's too dangerous! Take it easy!
[13:48] ---
    --Burns...
    --It's too dangerous! Take it easy!
[13:48] ---
    --Burns...
    --Sho! Mom! Let me go! Sho! Mom!
[13:49] ---
    --An inextinguishable fire... A demon...
    Nothing feels right about this.
    --Sho! Mom! Let me go! Sho! Mom!
[13:55] ---
    I'm going in!
[13:59] ---
    The body set up to look like
    the mother is in place.
[14:02] ---
    Haumea, how about it? Are you in control?
[14:07] ---
    Haumea. Talk to me, Haumea. Have you done it?
[14:13] ---
    Hey, Haumea!
[14:16] ---
    Haumea!
[14:17] ---
    Shut your trap, Charon! I'm doing it now!
[14:20] ---
    Get lost if you're gonna
    disturb me! I'll kill you!
[14:23] ---
    If you could hear me, answer.
[14:26] ---
    Huh? If I answer you, are you gonna
    help me? No, you can't!
[14:30] ---
    So shut your stupid face
    and go flap in the wind!
[14:34] ---
    Okay, my bad... My bad...
[14:41] ---
    She's terrifying.
[14:46] ---
    Given the situation, things are already...
[14:59] ---
    A demon and baby...!
[15:04] ---
    Bring the baby and come here.
[15:07] ---
    Hold it!
[15:09] ---
    Burns! It's coming down! Get out of there!
[15:12] ---
    The Infernal...!
[15:15] ---
    Hurry!
[15:16] ---
    Watch your head!
[15:39] ---
    A demon Infernal... An Adolla Burst...
[15:43] ---
    An Adolla Link...
[15:45] ---
    The flame in my right eye isn't subsiding.
[15:48] ---
    Just like when I previously saw the light
    in the other world and it burned away.
[15:52] ---
    Mom! Sho!
[15:54] ---
    Watch it! Don't go near there!
[15:56] ---
    They didn't go after that boy.
[15:59] ---
    His abilities have been awakened.
    Still, his flames are yet weak.
[16:04] ---
    Burns...
[16:05] ---
    Yeah.
[16:12] ---
    Listen closely to me.
[16:15] ---
    Your mother is dead.
[16:20] ---
    So is your brother.
[16:29] ---
    Why did you lie to me?
[16:32] ---
    To keep you out of it. They might have
    come after you at some point, too.
[16:39] ---
    I told you that lie so that
    you'd fear and hate flames.
[16:43] ---
    I thought that if you were afraid of flames,
[16:45] ---
    you'd avoid using your pyrokinetic abilities
    and stay out of this world.
[16:51] ---
    I do hate them, even now.
    Whatever the facts may be,
[16:55] ---
    flames have taken everything
    away from my family.
[16:59] ---
    Flames have derailed everything.
    There's no way I could ever like them.
[17:05] ---
    Still, you used your flames
    to come as far as you have.
[17:13] ---
    I've accomplished my reason for coming today.
[17:16] ---
    Please wait, sir.
[17:19] ---
    Captain Burns, did you know about
    the Adolla Link when you saw into that hell?
[17:24] ---
    Yeah.
[17:25] ---
    My right eye is the price I paid
    for seeing the flames of hell.
[17:29] ---
    Was that demon 12 years ago an Infernal
    with horns growing out of its eyes?
[17:34] ---
    Yes, it was.
[17:36] ---
    Then that demon probably was Mom...
[17:41] ---
    Where did my mom go, sir?
[17:45] ---
    I never saw her after that.
[17:53] ---
    By using the Adolla Link,
    I can once again see that Infernal.
[17:59] ---
    I can see Mom again...
[18:01] ---
    But how do I Link again?
[18:05] ---
    That man might know something.
[18:09] ---
    Kusakabe-san,
[18:10] ---
    please go back to your bed, now.
[18:18] ---
    --You look like him!
    --What?
[18:21] ---
    I look like him?
[18:22] ---
    Um, Lieutenant Hague...
[18:25] ---
    Yes?
[18:26] ---
    Lieutenant Hague, are you and the 4th's...?
[18:29] ---
    Ah, yes. Captain Soichiro Hague
    of the 4th is my grandfather.
[18:36] ---
    Huh? Why? Do I really look like him?
[18:40] ---
    Oh, no! You just remind me of him
    symbolically, is all. You're fine!
[18:45] ---
    I'm fine?
[18:49] ---
    Listen, would it be possible for me
    to meet with Captain Hague?
[18:53] ---
    With the captain, you say?
[19:00] ---
    That is my report.
[19:03] ---
    You think that the Adolla Link and Captain Hague
    may be somehow connected?
[19:08] ---
    Yes, sir. In order to verify that,
    I asked his blood relative,
[19:12] ---
    Lieutenant Asako Hague of the 6th, to help me.
[19:16] ---
    I was just thinking of contacting
    the chief of the Fire Defense Agency.
[19:22] ---
    Let's try reaching out from this end, as well.
[19:25] ---
    But...
[19:26] ---
    ...if we assume that
    Captain Burns' story is true,
[19:30] ---
    it means that the Evangelist's group
    was involved in the incident with your family.
[19:35] ---
    It's not so easy to believe that
    the demon I thought was my enemy
[19:39] ---
    turned out to actually be my mom.
[19:42] ---
    But I also thought Sho was dead,
    when in fact, he's still alive.
[19:46] ---
    If...
[19:47] ---
    ...your mother has become an Infernal,
    and is still alive...
[19:53] ---
    I will find a way to turn an Infernal
    back into a person.
[19:57] ---
    "Fire Force"
[20:04] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[20:10] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[20:27] ---
    He that used his claws on me
[20:29] ---
    Uses the same claws to defend someone else
[20:32] ---
    Weapons turn into both wounds and shields
[20:34] ---
    Isn't that what life's about?
[20:38] ---
    A secret known to none
[20:39] ---
    For so long almost seems to disappear
    but never does
[20:43] ---
    Been holding on to it
[20:45] ---
    While spending a night in the fire
[20:48] ---
    The more they're attracted,
    the more the ignorant laugh
[20:50] ---
    What used to make up the universe
    until yesterday takes the helm
[20:53] ---
    The entire range of emotions that breathes
[20:56] ---
    Don't want to take away
    what I haven't even experienced
[21:00] ---
    Look at the imaginations in my head
    and I'll go back to myself
[21:06] ---
    Forcing right decisions on me
    is like a devil that eats me up
[21:12] ---
    Don't get in my way anymore
[21:16] ---
    I won't be killed by your ideals
[21:35] ---
    What a dump.
[21:40] ---
    "Shinra, congratulations on your discharge"
[21:51] ---
    Don't feel bad. Those who aren't knights
    find it harder to use swords.
[21:57] ---
    Screw you, you oniony bastard!
[22:00] ---
    --I'll definitely cut this faster than him!
    --I'll definitely cut this faster than him!
[22:03] ---
    Take it easy.
[22:06] ---
    --Ah!
    --...King! Knight King!
[22:18] ---
    Látom.
[22:19] ---
    Látom.
[22:21] ---
    Gravel just needs to behave like gravel.
[22:24] ---
    Lieutenant Karim!
[22:26] ---
    Hm? Oh, Tamaki! What a relief
    to see you reveling in the revelry.
[22:31] ---
    Um, I... uh...
[22:35] ---
    Can I be taken off suspension, please?!
[22:43] ---
    For the party.
[22:44] ---
    Thank you very much, sir.
[22:45] ---
    I'm just here to drink some saké.
[22:49] ---
    But Shinra is still too young to drink.
[22:51] ---
    I didn't bring it for the kid to drink.
[22:54] ---
    Those of us who can drink
    can enjoy it among ourselves.
[22:58] ---
    How about you?
[23:02] ---
    Do you enjoy saké, my princess?
    If you like, you could join me, tonight...
[23:09] ---
    Yes, but just a little bit.
[23:11] ---
    Underage gorilla.
[23:13] ---
    Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
[23:15] ---
    I never said that...
[23:18] ---
    Okay,
[23:20] ---
    I am very pleased tonight
    to host this grand party
[23:23] ---
    to celebrate Shinra, crewman from
    Special Fire Force Company 8,
[23:29] ---
    being discharged from the hospital.
[23:31] ---
    Coming off our earlier investigation
    into the Nether...
[23:36] ---
    Thank you for this food.
[23:37] ---
    "See you later"
[23:39] ---
    Látom.
[23:41] ---
    
[23:43] ---
