**[00:02] ---**
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...
**[00:16] ---**
...is death by fire.
**[00:29] ---**
Please evacuate quickly!
**[00:31] ---**
We will put the Infernals to rest!
**[00:42] ---**
Aw, not our town...
**[00:47] ---**
Someone, please hurry and
put my husband out of his misery!
**[00:51] ---**
An Infernal!
**[00:53] ---**
Sister!
**[00:54] ---**
Right!
**[00:56] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[01:02] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[01:05] ---**
May thy soul return to
the great flame of fire.
**[01:10] ---**
*Látom*.
**[01:14] ---**
That was the third one.
**[01:16] ---**
There are so many of them,
**[01:17] ---**
and they're spreading
out throughout the town.
**[01:21] ---**
I've spotted several of them
near the lieutenant.
**[01:24] ---**
It appears that the number of
Infernals is still increasing.
**[01:33] ---**
With this many of them, there's no question
they're using those Insects.
**[01:38] ---**
There has to be a command center
somewhere directing them all.
**[01:41] ---**
It could be that plasma user from the Nether.
**[01:46] ---**
Haumea-*sama*, we have finished
exploring the eastern quarter.
**[01:49] ---**
Even after all that, there is still
no one compatible. On to the next area.
**[01:58] ---**
Get some distance.
**[02:00] ---**
The Fire Force is nearby.
**[03:32] ---**
"Episode 4:
Groping Through the Fire"
**[03:42] ---**
Blue Stripes! We've got an Infernal!
**[03:52] ---**
There are so many of them.
**[03:53] ---**
Keep spraying them to slow them down
until we can put them to rest.
**[03:56] ---**
Got it.
**[03:58] ---**
Maki-*san*, we're more or less
keeping them at bay,
**[04:01] ---**
but we need the sister to put them to rest.
**[04:03] ---**
Copy.
**[04:05] ---**
The sister is heading this way now!
**[04:07] ---**
Just hold on!
**[04:14] ---**
Vulcan!
**[04:16] ---**
Infernals from the rear, too?
**[04:30] ---**
I am terribly sorry. Please forgive me
for putting you to rest without a prayer.
**[04:36] ---**
No, it's all right, Lieutenant!
**[04:41] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[04:47] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul
return to the great flame of fire.
**[04:53] ---**
*Látom*.
**[04:59] ---**
*Látom*.
**[05:01] ---**
Are you all right, Vulcan-*san*?
**[05:03] ---**
That was close. You saved me.
**[05:05] ---**
I'm sorry we took so long. We just
finished putting another one to rest.
**[05:09] ---**
I need you to keep stopping them
on the front lines.
**[05:11] ---**
If we don't ensure the Fire Fighters' safety,
they can't put out the fires.
**[05:15] ---**
Understood, sir.
**[05:17] ---**
Vulcan, good to go?
**[05:18] ---**
No problem, sir.
Two more Infernals down this way.
**[05:23] ---**
Ugh, if I'd known it would be like this,
I wouldn't have come.
**[05:27] ---**
The distribution of these Infernals
is not at all spontaneous.
**[05:30] ---**
They're probably using Insects
to set people ablaze and split us up.
**[05:33] ---**
Maki, Vulcan, locate the plasma user for me.
**[05:36] ---**
She must be issuing instructions
to the hostiles throughout town.
**[05:55] ---**
Vulcan, plasma user acquired.
**[05:58] ---**
I'll send Arthur her way,
so send me her location.
**[06:01] ---**
Copy.
**[06:06] ---**
Arthur, do you read me?
**[06:08] ---**
I've located the plasma user.
**[06:09] ---**
I'm coming to get you
on the double, so fight her off.
**[06:22] ---**
I'm taking you with me, too.
Don't interfere, just come quietly.
**[06:27] ---**
Screw that!
**[06:29] ---**
Who do you two think you are?
**[06:31] ---**
I'll decide for myself what I'm gonna do.
**[06:33] ---**
I may not understand what your objective is,
**[06:35] ---**
but don't go deciding for me
if you're escorting me or securing me!
**[06:39] ---**
WALK!
**[06:50] ---**
You possess an Adolla Burst.
Your freedom... is gone.
**[07:06] ---**
I'll take you somewhere safe right away.
**[07:09] ---**
Just leave this to me. I'm a hero, after all.
**[07:13] ---**
Safe? What for? That's so dull.
Out of the question.
**[07:23] ---**
Day-to-day life without any thrills?
That would be so boring.
**[07:29] ---**
Count me out.
**[07:31] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[07:32] ---**
You may steal money from people,
but you still save their lives, right?
**[07:36] ---**
I don't care if you do save me,
I'm not giving you anything.
**[07:40] ---**
I was never after anything
in return in the first place!
**[07:42] ---**
It's because you people are like this
**[07:44] ---**
that people think getting rescued
is something to be expected.
**[07:47] ---**
You're turning out incompetent scum
that can do nothing but wait for you!
**[07:50] ---**
As long as the people end up
getting rescued, what does it matter?
**[07:53] ---**
Having an ability doesn't make you a bigshot!
**[07:55] ---**
People don't know what's
right or what's wrong.
**[07:59] ---**
Don't go forcing your boring safety on me!
**[08:02] ---**
Huh?
**[08:12] ---**
Whoa,
**[08:14] ---**
this one is tough. Still...
**[08:19] ---**
I'm just gonna burn the same way
I've seen others, right?
**[08:22] ---**
What's suddenly come over you?
**[08:25] ---**
So what if I just do whatever I want to?
**[08:51] ---**
Wait!
**[08:56] ---**
The Fifth Pillar belongs to us!
**[08:58] ---**
Get out of my way!
**[09:05] ---**
I'm picking up multiple heat sources.
**[09:08] ---**
Stay right with me.
**[09:10] ---**
Two of them at one o'clock.
**[09:12] ---**
One of them at nine o'clock.
**[09:18] ---**
No, there's more than just them.
**[09:21] ---**
So it would seem.
**[09:22] ---**
How are we supposed to stop this many of them
without putting them to rest?
**[09:31] ---**
Hold on!
**[09:43] ---**
There's a far stronger heat source
coming from that group of them!
**[09:46] ---**
What?
**[09:54] ---**
Is that...?
**[10:04] ---**
A demon Infernal.
**[10:36] ---**
It can't be...
**[10:41] ---**
This is great!
**[10:42] ---**
Of course a demon is gonna be born!
**[10:45] ---**
We have someone here who just
had her Adolla Burst awaken.
**[10:47] ---**
I knew that if we used Insects around her
to cause human combustion,
**[10:50] ---**
we'd have a demon pop up from among them.
**[10:54] ---**
Though I have to admit, it's gonna be
quite the ordeal for them.
**[10:56] ---**
Imagine, not being able to finish off
an Infernal without putting them to rest!
**[11:00] ---**
You Fire Soldiers sure tie yourselves up
in some inconvenient bondage games.
**[11:05] ---**
Maki-*san*, we've got a demon on our hands now.
**[11:08] ---**
There's no way we can stop them.
**[11:09] ---**
The sister is heading there now.
**[11:11] ---**
Just hang on!
**[11:13] ---**
Easy for her to say.
**[11:18] ---**
What are we supposed to do by ourselves?
**[11:21] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[11:23] ---**
I didn't mean to take so long.
I had some trouble getting changed.
**[11:28] ---**
Tamaki, you've been through
the sisters' training?
**[11:30] ---**
Well, I *did* come from the 1st, after all.
**[11:33] ---**
But this is my first time
putting anyone to rest in the field.
**[11:35] ---**
Do your best.
**[11:36] ---**
Yes, sir, I'll start right away--
**[11:41] ---**
Why me?
**[11:43] ---**
How did everything from
the neck down come off?
**[11:45] ---**
And how come only the veil stayed on?
**[11:48] ---**
The bikini-and-veil look
is an awfully niche kink.
**[11:51] ---**
Wait, if you can get to heaven that way,
that may not sound so bad.
**[11:55] ---**
Don't be ridiculous. There's no way.
**[12:00] ---**
--Here they come!
--If we can't put them to rest,
what are we supposed to do?!
**[12:02] ---**
--If we can't put them to rest,
what are we supposed to do?!
**[12:03] ---**
Oh, sorry! I'll get dressed again right away!
**[12:13] ---**
Hang in there, Vulcan.
**[12:16] ---**
This is where we're gonna
meet our end, all right.
**[12:18] ---**
Don't give up!
**[12:19] ---**
Just hold on, you two! I'm almost finished--
**[12:22] ---**
Damn it! Whoa...!
**[12:24] ---**
--Vulcan!
--Damn it, damn it...!
**[12:39] ---**
For heaven's sake, Tamaki...
**[12:42] ---**
As always, what are you even doing?
**[12:45] ---**
Lieutenant Karim!
**[12:57] ---**
This is Hinawa. Lieutenant Karim
from the 1st has joined us.
**[13:01] ---**
He's here? That's a big help.
**[13:03] ---**
I thought we couldn't count on any of
the other companies to work with us.
**[13:07] ---**
Not officially, no. But I requested
a little personal assistance.
**[13:12] ---**
I hear you're short on clerical help.
**[13:15] ---**
I'm really glad you're here.
Now we can put them to rest.
**[13:21] ---**
All right, let's go!
**[13:34] ---**
Go grab the girl who ran away.
**[13:36] ---**
Sir!
**[13:37] ---**
Hold it!
**[13:39] ---**
Move it!
**[13:41] ---**
Let go of me, you...!
**[13:43] ---**
No you don't!
**[13:52] ---**
Is that...?
**[13:54] ---**
Backdraft Bubblish Gum.
**[14:02] ---**
It's you! The guy from the 5th!
**[14:04] ---**
Toru Kishiri!
**[14:06] ---**
I got a request that you wanted
some extra help, so here I am.
**[14:11] ---**
There's another one?
**[14:12] ---**
N-No, not me. I just happened
to be passing by. No, really...
**[14:24] ---**
Whoa, hell of a barrage.
**[14:27] ---**
This is bad! This is bad, but here I am!
**[14:32] ---**
Juggernaut!
**[14:35] ---**
Let's get 'em!
**[14:44] ---**
We can't just run up to them.
**[14:51] ---**
Stay away!
**[15:00] ---**
Way to go, Juggernaut! I'll make sure
not to let them anywhere near us,
**[15:04] ---**
so you just keep on backing away
and firing at them!
**[15:07] ---**
You just make sure!
**[15:08] ---**
Keep your distance and return fire!
**[15:11] ---**
Sir!
**[15:16] ---**
Keep away!
**[15:25] ---**
I hate to do this, you
two, but you've got this!
**[15:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:30] ---**
I'm not going to let them get that girl!
**[15:32] ---**
Hm? Shinra Kusakabe!
Where do you think you're going?
**[15:36] ---**
You're going where Inca is, right?
Isn't that right?!
**[15:40] ---**
Answer my question!
**[15:53] ---**
Damn it!
**[16:04] ---**
Let me go! Let go of me!
**[16:06] ---**
Be quiet!
**[16:07] ---**
Stop that! Let the girl go!
**[16:10] ---**
Butt out! I want to live someplace that
scares the living daylights out of me!
**[16:15] ---**
What is wrong with you?
**[16:32] ---**
Hurry! The Infernals are coming!
**[16:34] ---**
That way is cut off!
**[16:36] ---**
Sister, we need to put
the next one to rest, please.
**[16:39] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[16:42] ---**
We call it a prayer, but she puts
her whole soul into supplicating.
**[16:47] ---**
The sister's strength and
concentration has their limits.
**[16:52] ---**
Are you all right, Sister?
**[16:54] ---**
Hmm? There's nothing at
all wrong with me, sir.
**[16:58] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[17:05] ---**
Who are you?
**[17:07] ---**
A sister squad under the
command of Lieutenant Karim.
**[17:15] ---**
Company 2 Platoon on the scene!
**[17:19] ---**
Company 5 Platoon, secure an
evacuation route for the civilians!
**[17:22] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[17:28] ---**
Am I glad to see them! Reinforcements!
**[17:31] ---**
Captain Obi, I am Platoon Leader
Taguchi, from the 2nd.
**[17:35] ---**
I am Platoon Leader Tokuyama, from the 5th.
**[17:38] ---**
Thanks for the assistance.
I'm glad you answered my call.
**[17:43] ---**
I've known about you since
your days as a regular Fire Fighter, sir.
**[17:48] ---**
It is an honor to be able to
work together with you today.
**[17:53] ---**
Company 2 Platoon, put
those Infernals to rest!
**[17:56] ---**
Company 5 Platoon, after securing
that route, get everyone evacuated!
**[18:00] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[18:02] ---**
Captain, look how many of them
there are. Isn't this great?
**[18:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:09] ---**
We aren't the only Fire Soldiers
that want to protect people.
**[18:19] ---**
The flames are now spread
out all across town.
**[18:24] ---**
Adding a few more Fire Soldiers
at this point won't do any good.
**[18:29] ---**
The Fifth Pillar is as good as ours.
**[18:32] ---**
Celestial Knight Slash!
**[18:36] ---**
Whoa, you freaked me out.
**[18:38] ---**
Gah, it's *you* again!
**[18:40] ---**
Maki, shock lady acquired.
**[18:43] ---**
Take her out.
**[18:45] ---**
So you're the enemy commander, are you?
**[18:48] ---**
I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!
**[18:51] ---**
Charon, I've got a problem here. Hurry it up.
**[18:54] ---**
I'm not siding with either one of you guys!
Let me go! Release me!
**[19:00] ---**
Let the girl go!
**[19:07] ---**
--Hold her there.
--Let me go!
**[19:08] ---**
Sir.
**[19:10] ---**
I'm getting real tired of
that hulking frame of yours.
**[19:14] ---**
I'll blow you away!
**[19:17] ---**
That was nothing!
**[19:20] ---**
CLAP!
**[19:31] ---**
Your attacks are all speed and no heat.
**[19:36] ---**
Oh, shut up. Screw you.
**[19:40] ---**
Still, the fact remains that
my Rapid doesn't work against him.
**[19:52] ---**
He triggers explosions just by walking.
**[19:55] ---**
I could create explosions
like that, too, if I wanted to.
**[20:03] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[20:08] ---**
Fire!
**[20:12] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[20:14] ---**
May thy soul return to
the great flame of fire. *Látom*.
**[20:27] ---**
Captain, the Infernals are being
put to rest like clockwork now.
**[20:31] ---**
But how are we going to
extinguish all this fire?
**[20:34] ---**
The way things are headed,
the whole town is going to burn down.
**[20:47] ---**
Return to the great flame of fire.
**[20:49] ---**
*Látom*.
**[20:50] ---**
Whew. That just leaves...
**[20:53] ---**
...the one-horned demon Infernal!
**[21:08] ---**
Damn! I can't send out orders
when you're around!
**[21:13] ---**
I am going to shatter your scheme!
**[21:15] ---**
Hmph, oh, are you, now?
But then, we already have the Fifth Pillar!
**[21:23] ---**
We're going to be the ones
to assemble the eight key Pillars.
**[21:27] ---**
Unhand me! I do not belong to anyone!
**[21:30] ---**
Let me go! Release me!
**[21:33] ---**
That leaves you, Fourth Pillar.
**[21:38] ---**
I can't beat him like this. However...
**[21:43] ---**
...when I was training with Captain Shinmon,
**[21:46] ---**
there was one *tenokata* form
that caused an explosion.
**[21:50] ---**
You extend your index and pinky fingers.
**[21:53] ---**
Whenever you get in a pinch,
remember "rock" while making this sign,
**[21:56] ---**
and it will inspire courage within you.
**[22:02] ---**
I guess I'll try it.
**[22:05] ---**
I'm just getting started, you damn gorilla!
**[22:12] ---**
The form I learned from Captain Obi himself--
**[22:18] ---**
the "Corna"!
**[22:21] ---**
"To be continued"
**[23:56] ---**
"*Fire Force*, Season 2"
**[24:00] ---**
"Next time"
**[24:03] ---**
Shinra-*san* squares off against
the White-Clad Charon.
**[24:06] ---**
While fighting an uphill battle
against a foe he can't lay a scratch on,
**[24:10] ---**
he finally figures out the secret.
Now, Shinra-*san*! Your finishing move!
**[24:15] ---**
We'll see about that!
**[24:18] ---**
"Episode 5"
"Corna (Sign of the Devil)"
**[24:18] ---**
Next time on *Fire Force*, Season 2,
episode 5, "Corna."
**[24:23] ---**
Return to the great flame of fire. *Látom*.
