[00:06] ---
You do, of course, know what's taking
place in the world right now, right?
[00:12] ---
The world is in shambles. In some places,
flames are being whipped up,
[00:16] ---
space is distorting in a way
that is carving up continents,
[00:20] ---
and many countries that
once existed have fallen.
[00:23] ---
Right now, there are few places
where you can live a decent life
[00:27] ---
other than here in the Tokyo Empire.
[00:30] ---
And so, people gather here
in the relatively undamaged Tokyo,
[00:35] ---
where the Holy Sol Temple and
Haijima Industries have developed
[00:38] ---
Amaterasu, the perpetual
thermal energy plant.
[00:40] ---
The empire is the beneficiary
of its vast energy,
[00:44] ---
and has also made further advancements.
[00:48] ---
Does this story keep going on?
[00:51] ---
Who knows? If it were up to me,
I'd like it to continue.
[00:57] ---
So how did it go?
[00:59] ---
This stuff I had you make for me
did some interesting things.
[01:04] ---
Special Fire Force Company 8,
with that devil guy?
[01:08] ---
I did a little checking into them.
[01:10] ---
Their captain, Akitaru Obi, was decorated
twice in his firefighter days.
[01:16] ---
He was also stripped of them twice.
[01:18] ---
"Akitaru Obi"
[01:19] ---
The reason why they stripped them is because
[01:21] ---
he disobeyed orders to
give priority to life-saving.
[01:23] ---
Very nice. A model fireman,
whether for good or bad.
[01:29] ---
You could say the 8th
[01:31] ---
has been built up on the strength
of Obi's character and magnetism.
[01:35] ---
They're a different animal
than the other companies.
[01:38] ---
It's fascinating.
[01:43] ---
"Shinra"
[01:52] ---
The darkness is illuminated
[01:53] ---
The days we've grown accustomed
to walking are weeded out
[01:57] ---
My dream might be to make a stable living
[02:00] ---
but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[02:02] ---
The end is illuminated
[02:04] ---
Where are the streets we're
accustomed to walking?
[02:07] ---
Time can sometimes be irksome,
[02:10] ---
but we're enveloped in warmth
[02:12] ---
Flames rise to show us the way
[02:17] ---
reminding us of a gentle melody
[02:24] ---
There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[02:29] ---
I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[02:35] ---
If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[02:39] ---
We'll keep on walking until the day
[02:45] ---
the fire of our lives gets doused
[02:50] ---
Playthings that make sounds
[02:53] ---
and magic that chases pain away
[02:56] ---
are all precious treasures to me
[03:01] ---
There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:05] ---
We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:11] ---
the fire of our lives gets doused
[03:16] ---
"Episode 3:
The Rookie Fire Soldier Games"
[03:20] ---
Yeah! The Rookie Games!
[03:23] ---
Tamaki Kotatsu is here to rock!
SIGN "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Tamaki Kotatsu"
[03:33] ---
Huh? What are you looking at?!
[03:36] ---
Nothing.
[03:38] ---
Wow!
[03:40] ---
Wone Wone Nyine!
[03:41] ---
Wone Wone Nyine?
[03:43] ---
You don't know them? They're the
Fire Defense Agency's mascot characters,
[03:46] ---
Wone Wone Nyine!
[03:48] ---
But one of them is just an older man.
[03:51] ---
Ah, you mean Mamoru-kun?
[03:53] ---
Mamoru-kun...
[03:55] ---
The characters started out
as two dogs and one cat,
[03:59] ---
but the higher-ups at the Fire Defense Agency
[04:00] ---
complained about all three
of them being animals,
[04:05] ---
so one of them became a dog-faced older man.
[04:08] ---
What's wrong with having them
be two dogs and a cat?
[04:10] ---
Huh? But Mamoru-kun is cute!
[04:13] ---
Eh?
[04:17] ---
Eh?!
[04:45] ---
That man was...
[04:52] ---
Excuse me!
[04:57] ---
Do you need something?
[04:59] ---
Are you one of the rookies
that came in this year?
[05:02] ---
Yes, sir! Shinra Kusakabe,
Special Fire Force Company 8!
[05:07] ---
Um, if you don't mind me asking,
do you remember that fire 12 years ago?
[05:12] ---
I don't have time to chat
with you right now. Excuse me.
[05:16] ---
I just need a moment!
[05:17] ---
Hey, you! Don't act so
forward with my captain!
[05:26] ---
No, it's not like that! I'm sorry!
[05:28] ---
What are you smiling at, you pervert?!
[05:36] ---
Damn it! Why does my lucky lecher lure
always have to activate?!
[05:40] ---
I know you stepped in to distract me,
but that's really distracting.
[05:50] ---
Captain of the 1st, can I have just a moment?
[05:53] ---
The competition is about to begin.
[05:55] ---
All competitors, please put on
your turnout gear and gather around.
[06:00] ---
You said your name was Shinra?
[06:02] ---
Do you know how many fires
break out in a year?
[06:07] ---
I'm sorry, but I don't remember something
that happened 12 years ago.
[06:12] ---
The competition is beginning. Go get ready.
[06:20] ---
He's hiding something, isn't he?
[06:24] ---
What is this?
[06:29] ---
You are all about to
charge into this building
[06:31] ---
which will be simulating a fire scene.
[06:34] ---
After you overcome the obstacles
and rescue those who require it,
[06:37] ---
be the first to reach the crewman
posing as an Infernal.
[06:43] ---
So that's it. We're storming the castle.
[06:47] ---
Is everyone ready?
[06:51] ---
Start!
[06:58] ---
Is he that confident?
[07:00] ---
Then again, in my case...
[07:04] ---
...I can just fly up there!
[07:06] ---
Wha--?!
[07:07] ---
Dirty pool. This is why I hate devils.
[07:11] ---
Damn it!
[07:12] ---
Nekomata!
[07:19] ---
Heroes always arrive from the skies.
[07:25] ---
Pardon the intrusion.
[07:28] ---
I have to hurry and wrap up this contest,
[07:30] ---
and question the captain from the 1st.
[07:36] ---
Hello?! Is there anyone alive up here?!
[07:56] ---
Yo. I took care of anyone getting in our way.
[08:02] ---
I need your attention, Devil's Footprints.
[08:06] ---
Huh?
[08:08] ---
That fire that happened to you 12 years ago--
would you like to know about it?
[08:14] ---
What?
[08:17] ---
Who... are you?
[08:22] ---
You'd like to know right? About the fire
your mother and brother died in?
[08:29] ---
About the day you became a devil?
[08:34] ---
How do you know about that?! Who are you?!
[08:39] ---
Get away from those crewmen!
[08:41] ---
Huh? What? You're more worried about
these two than hearing about the fire?
[08:48] ---
You Fire Soldiers...
[08:51] ---
Okay, so you can't give me your attention.
[08:58] ---
Well then, guess I'll kill them.
[09:02] ---
Stop!
[09:08] ---
Ho...
[09:11] ---
Whoa...
[09:14] ---
What do you know about the fire? Tell me.
[09:17] ---
If you entertain me, I'll tell you.
[09:24] ---
So, let's see how many moves you can last.
[09:29] ---
Ashes?
[10:11] ---
Well, that was surprisingly easy.
[10:18] ---
Guess I'll kill you.
[10:22] ---
H-
[10:24] ---
He's gonna kill me...
[10:26] ---
Wow, that's a hell of a look on your face.
[10:29] ---
You can still smile, even in this situation?
You're better than I thought.
[10:36] ---
As a reward, I'll give you your first
hint about the truth of that fire.
[10:45] ---
Your younger brother...
[10:47] ---
...is still alive.
[10:52] ---
What? Sho is alive?
[10:57] ---
What do you mean?! Sho was
burned to death, bones and all!
[11:01] ---
And besides, if he's alive,
where has he been since the fire?!
[11:05] ---
At the time, Sho was still
a one-year-old baby!
[11:09] ---
You think maybe someone is hiding something?
[11:13] ---
There's no way I could believe
something like that!
[11:23] ---
What's the matter? Did that ring a bell?
[11:28] ---
Even if it's true, how
would you know about it?
[11:32] ---
Why would you tell me about it?
[11:35] ---
What are you after? Why did you
come all the way up here?!
[11:39] ---
So now you're deeply
intrigued by me. Very good.
[11:43] ---
You do show a lot of promise, after all.
[11:46] ---
And from the way you're acting,
do you have suspicions about the Fire Force?
[11:52] ---
Your mother died; that's
nothing to sneeze at.
[11:56] ---
You want to know the truth, don't you?
[12:01] ---
Are you ready to stop playing hero,
and seek out the truth
[12:05] ---
by joining me as a devil?
[12:08] ---
Be a hero or a devil, you say?
[12:12] ---
Screw you! No matter what you know,
you still assaulted two Fire Soldiers!
[12:18] ---
I'm gonna kick your ass and take you in!
[12:21] ---
Well, this is disappointing.
[12:26] ---
That flying kick of yours
leaves you wide open.
[12:39] ---
Heroes always do flying kicks!
[12:46] ---
That's incredible, isn't it?
That's the firepower of the Devil!
[13:24] ---
Whoa, that startled me!
[13:31] ---
I'm sensing something icky up ahead.
[13:34] ---
I'm picking up a whiff of
some awfully nasty danger.
[13:37] ---
I am not a knight-shaped seat cushion.
Hurry up and move.
[13:42] ---
What are you doing underneath me, you sicko?!
[13:45] ---
I'm not a knight-shaped punching bag, either.
[13:57] ---
Hey!
[13:59] ---
Watch out!
[14:01] ---
I let this drag on too long,
and now we're being interrupted.
[14:05] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting, "Infernal."
[14:08] ---
Arthur!
[14:08] ---
A suspicious man has
snuck into the games facility!
[14:11] ---
He's brought harm to two crewmen
who are now injured!
[14:13] ---
Go report this to the captains outside!
[14:15] ---
What?!
[14:18] ---
Don't lie to me. I'm gonna be the winner.
[14:21] ---
Huh?!
[14:22] ---
I'm gonna catch him!
[14:24] ---
Oh, you stupid knight!
[14:29] ---
How do you plan to catch me
by waving that sword around?
[14:36] ---
Don't forget about me!
[14:43] ---
Caught you!
[14:51] ---
They're taking things
this far in the Rookie Games?
[14:53] ---
Like I told you, the competition is on hold!
[14:59] ---
Shinra, if you insist on being a hero,
[15:04] ---
then go ahead and try to rescue
every last person here.
[15:08] ---
More of those ashes?
[15:13] ---
What are those?
[15:14] ---
Ashes?
[15:17] ---
Later, Devil. If you ever feel like
joining the Joker, I'll take you in.
[15:28] ---
Good luck with this.
[15:31] ---
We have to get out of here, now!
It's gonna explode!
[15:39] ---
Arthur, cut through the ceiling!
We'll head upward!
[15:45] ---
Only beautiful princesses
may give orders to a knight.
[15:54] ---
Hmph, my cuts were too brilliant
to let the ceiling fall down.
[15:58] ---
Move it! We're busting
through the ceiling, right?
[16:09] ---
Grab on, both of you!
[16:14] ---
I'm saving them all!
[16:25] ---
Are you a hero, or are you a devil?
[16:28] ---
Damn it all, Fire Soldiers are heroes!
[16:38] ---
Arthur! Cat lady!
[16:40] ---
Save me!
[16:43] ---
God have mercy.
[16:47] ---
Captain Burns!
[16:50] ---
You get those two safely down on the ground.
[16:54] ---
Right!
[16:56] ---
Um, what about me?
[16:58] ---
Look down.
[17:01] ---
Don't punk out, Arthur!
[17:03] ---
Show us that 8th spirit!
[17:06] ---
That 8th spirit? All I'm
doing is freefalling.
[17:18] ---
Ow...
[17:20] ---
It's lucky for me you're all so musclebound.
[17:23] ---
Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
[17:25] ---
I never said that!
[17:38] ---
Is there anyone hurt?!
[17:39] ---
Hurry and evacuate!
[17:46] ---
It looks as though you
took care of Tamaki, here.
[17:49] ---
I could have gotten out of there by myself.
[17:52] ---
Shinra, wasn't it? Thanks.
[17:58] ---
Your praise is more than I deserve.
Thank you very much.
[18:03] ---
Shinra! Are you okay?!
[18:04] ---
I saw that! You saved all four of them!
You're a hero, you know that?
[18:09] ---
Thank you very much!
[18:12] ---
All right, we'll be going now.
[18:20] ---
Tamaki, tell me what happened in there.
[18:23] ---
Yes, sir!
[18:26] ---
That's a good man you've got there.
[18:45] ---
I ran into a suspicious man inside.
[18:48] ---
Someone who could control explosions
with a mysterious powder.
[18:52] ---
The explosions were a lot like the ones
at that fire scene the other day.
[18:57] ---
The man seemed to know something.
[19:00] ---
Captain, is the Special Fire Force
hiding something?
[19:06] ---
Shinra...
[19:08] ---
The Special Fire Force really is fighting
for the good of the people, right?
[19:13] ---
I became a Fire Soldier to keep people safe.
[19:18] ---
Fire Soldiers really are heroes
who fight the flame terror, right?
[19:26] ---
Yes, they are. On the other hand,
[19:28] ---
the Special Fire Force isn't exactly
one monolithic organization.
[19:34] ---
The Fire Force was formed by
combining personnel from three bodies--
[19:38] ---
the Holy Sol Temple, the Tokyo Armed Forces,
and the Fire Defense Agency.
[19:43] ---
Moreover, each of them has different
levels of influence at each company.
[19:48] ---
The influence of the Holy Sol Temple
is strong at the 1st.
[19:52] ---
The 2nd reports directly
to the Tokyo Armed Forces.
[19:56] ---
At the 5th, the real power is
held by Haijima Industries.
[20:01] ---
Haijima?
[20:03] ---
How is Haijima in so deep?
[20:06] ---
All of the equipment that we use
is made by Haijima.
[20:10] ---
The Special Fire Force could not
operate without Haijima.
[20:14] ---
They have a monopoly on product orders,
[20:17] ---
and control vast amounts
of capital and interests.
[20:20] ---
Of course, each company's duty
is to put Infernals to rest,
[20:24] ---
to seek out the cause of
spontaneous human combustion,
[20:27] ---
and fight on behalf of the people.
[20:30] ---
However, each company keeps the
information they find out to themselves,
[20:35] ---
and nothing is shared.
[20:37] ---
Some of it may be information about
the truth behind human combustion.
[20:44] ---
I believe it to be a just organization,
[20:46] ---
but there may be some companies
that have their own dubious motives.
[20:50] ---
Since I can't completely trust them,
I'm also suspicious of the Fire Force.
[20:55] ---
Then, sir, what is our objective at the 8th?
[21:00] ---
We at the 8th are a body
[21:03] ---
that some on the Fire Defense Agency
strong-armed into creation,
[21:06] ---
with me as its captain, comprised of
members that they could trust--
[21:11] ---
to investigate Companies 1 through 7,
and zero in on the truth.
[21:17] ---
Does that mean...?
[21:19] ---
The Special Fire Force should already
know the cause of the Infernals.
[21:24] ---
I want to find what it is, and save people.
[21:42] ---
Please allow me to help you
with that investigation, sir.
[21:51] ---
Thanks. I'm glad I called you into the 8th.
[21:56] ---
[21:56] ---
"To be continued"
[21:58] ---
[21:59] ---
You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:00] ---
[22:02] ---
and curse the unwavering present,
[22:05] ---
but words that simply hang in the air
[22:09] ---
are not enough to save you
[22:24] ---
We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:28] ---
between sights we never reach
[22:31] ---
and pain that brings no warmth
[22:34] ---
to make it to a faraway place
[22:38] ---
Given the hope that you speak of
[22:41] ---
or the ideals that you dream of
[22:45] ---
I'll find a way to show you love,
however cold you may be
[22:50] ---
You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:54] ---
and curse the unwavering present,
[22:57] ---
but words that simply hang in the air
[23:00] ---
are not enough to save you
[23:03] ---
You can cry out timidly
[23:06] ---
but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:09] ---
Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:13] ---
I hope we can still walk together again
[23:16] ---
I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:19] ---
to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[23:28] ---
