    Kanda Fire Fighters requesting instructions.
[01:09] ---
    Stay out of it.
[01:11] ---
    Isn't Kanda under the 8th's jurisdiction?
[01:13] ---
    --Cru-nch...!
    --Gravel doesn't get to weigh in.
[01:16] ---
    --Gravel doesn't get to weigh in.
[01:16] ---
    They're the ones who asked.
    What's wrong with me answering them?
[01:22] ---
    Incoming message from Haijima Industries.
[01:24] ---
    Crunch!
[01:26] ---
    I'll listen to it later.
    That's my research unit.
[01:30] ---
    I don't take orders from the main office.
[01:32] ---
    Crunch!
[01:33] ---
    The 5th is heading out. Even if we
    have to step on the 8th's jurisdiction,
[01:36] ---
    we're going to secure that Infernal!
[01:39] ---
    Object approaching subject at high speed!
[01:41] ---
    Crunch!
[01:42] ---
    Judging by the Adolla pattern,
[01:44] ---
    I believe it is a third-generation
    Fire Soldier from the 8th.
[01:47] ---
    Gravel from the 8th?

    "Episode 4:
    The Hero and the Princess"
[02:07] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[02:08] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[02:12] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[02:15] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[02:17] ---
    The end is illuminated
[02:19] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[02:22] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[02:25] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[02:28] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[02:32] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[02:39] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[02:44] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[02:50] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[02:54] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:00] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[03:05] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[03:08] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[03:11] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[03:16] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:20] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:26] ---

    That's all the news we have.
    Today's Amaterasu operational rate is normal.
[03:43] ---
    All right, everyone, have
    a pleasant day. Látom.
[03:48] ---
    Sure enough, there's no news
    on yesterday's incident,
[03:50] ---
    or the man known as Joker.
[03:54] ---
    Could the Special Fire Force
    indeed be hiding something?
[04:03] ---
    If I stick with him, I'm sure I can
    get closer to the truth
[04:07] ---
    about the mystery of human combustion,
    and the day I lost Mom and Sho.
[04:15] ---
    Pardon me for interrupting your discussion.
[04:18] ---
    The analysis on the ashes Joker used
    to blow up the training facility came back.
[04:23] ---
    Apparently, their main component
    is Infernal ashes.
[04:30] ---
    Those ashes... were Infernal ashes?
[04:33] ---
    They're using the remains of the dead?
    Is nothing sacred?
[05:06] ---
    The flames of the original sin...
[05:21] ---
    Turns out I wasn't able
    to tell them about Sho.
[05:28] ---
    Hey, stop looking like you're dead
    when we're in the office!
[05:32] ---
    It's killing my own mood to work.
[05:36] ---
    This is Arthur Boyle, lord of Camelot.
    What is the nature of your message?
[05:42] ---
    I'm sorry about that.
    Special Fire Force Company 8.
[05:46] ---
    Ah, yes, yes...
[05:51] ---
    Yes. A dog? Right. Very well.
[05:56] ---
    --Hey...
    --What is the address?
[05:57] ---
    --What?
    --What is the address?
[05:58] ---
    --Why did you become a Fire Soldier?
    --Okay... Okay... Very well.
[06:01] ---
    --Because I'm a knight.
    --Okay... Okay... Very well.
[06:02] ---
    We'll be there right away.
[06:05] ---
    Hey, you two.
[06:07] ---
    A dog got caught up in a tree,
    and can't get back down again.
[06:10] ---
    Would you mind going and rescuing him?
[06:12] ---
    Rescue a dog? Isn't that a job
    for regular firefighters?
[06:17] ---
    We get calls mistaking Fire Soldiers
    for regular firefighters all the time.
[06:21] ---
    And you two aren't getting anywhere
    with your work anyway, are you?
[06:25] ---
    I'll take care of the rest of that.
[06:29] ---
    All right. I'll go.
[06:32] ---
    With my ability, it will be easy
    to get him out of a tree.
[06:38] ---
    "Mr. Fireman, right here!! Up! Up!!"
[06:43] ---
    Huh? That's not a dog--
[06:46] ---
    so much as it's Mamoru-kun, isn't it?
[06:48] ---
    Goodness...
[06:58] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
[07:00] ---
    What were you doing up a tree?
[07:03] ---
    While passing out balloons during
    a function at the shopping district,
[07:07] ---
    some neighborhood college
    students "hoorayed" me.
[07:10] ---
    "Hooray!"
[07:13] ---
    Why would they do that?
[07:18] ---
    Do you remember the serial killings
    carried out by that firefighter?
[07:22] ---
    Huh?
[07:23] ---
    The man who was a firefighter,
    but killed four people on a spree--
[07:27] ---
    Miyamoto.
[07:29] ---
    Ever since that case,
[07:31] ---
    people's discontent for the Fire Defense
    Agency and firefighters has grown,
[07:34] ---
    and sometimes, we get picked on like this.
[07:38] ---
    So, what happened to this firefighter?
[07:42] ---
    His verdict is scheduled
    to be announced today.
[07:46] ---
    Word is that he'll probably be found
    not guilty for psychiatric reasons.
[07:52] ---
    Thus, we find the defendant,
    Setsuo Miyamoto, not guilty.
[07:57] ---
    --Impossible!
    --The death penalty's too good for him!
[07:59] ---
    You scum!
[08:00] ---
    Do you know how many people he killed?!
[08:01] ---
    --Easy-peasy. The law is just a big pushover.
[08:01] ---
    --You're letting him off
    because he's a firefighter?!
[08:05] ---
    The country would be up a creek
    if a firefighter was found guilty.
[08:09] ---
    No sweat!
[08:14] ---
    Wah! It burns! Somebody!
    Somebody! Put me out!
[08:18] ---
    --Ha, ha, ha! That's what you get!
    --Get an extinguisher! Or even a blanket!
[08:19] ---
    --Scum!
    --The great Sol has decided to punish you!
[08:21] ---
    --The great Sol has decided to punish you!
[08:28] ---
    I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
[08:34] ---
    Human combustion!
[08:35] ---
    Hurry and get out of here!
[08:37] ---
    An Infernal just spoke!
[08:49] ---
    Hey, your honor. How dare you decide
    what's going to happen to me.
[08:54] ---
    But I said you were innocent
    and set you free, didn't I?
[08:58] ---
    Shut up! I'm the one doing the judging now!
[09:09] ---
    Captain Obi! About the Infernal
    in Taito-ku, Ueno District...
[09:14] ---
    He has a sense of self?
[09:20] ---
    Fascinating. I want him, whatever it takes.
[09:24] ---
    Crunch!
[09:25] ---
    --To the control room!
    --Crunch...
[09:28] ---
    Where are Shinra and Arthur?
[09:36] ---
    An Infernal has appeared.
[09:38] ---
    Emergency vehicles are now passing through.
[09:41] ---
    All other traffic, please pull
    to the side and clear a path.
[09:46] ---
    An emergency dispatch?
[09:48] ---
    The Matchbox!
[09:52] ---
    Shinra! Arthur! I know you're in the area!
[09:56] ---
    Wander out without permission, will you?!
[09:58] ---
    When we get back, you're getting disciplined
    until you can't move anymore!
[10:03] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Huh?!
[10:04] ---
    I'm sorry, both of you! I'm sorry!
[10:07] ---
    --I couldn't tell him I sent you. I'll do anything.
    Ramen is on me. Forgive me--
[10:08] ---
    --Maki-san, what's the matter?
    --I couldn't tell him I sent you. I'll do anything.
    Ramen is on me. Forgive me--
[10:13] ---
    Mamoru-kun, I'm sorry,
    but you have to take over!
[10:16] ---
    Látom.
[10:19] ---
    See you, Arthur! I'm going on ahead!
[10:25] ---
    Ah! What are you doing?!
[10:27] ---
    Take me with you.
[10:29] ---
    Hiyo Silver!
[10:32] ---
    Why, you... I'm honestly,
    seriously... honestly...
[10:37] ---
    ...seriously...
[10:52] ---
    Shinra! Arthur!
[10:54] ---
    What are you doing?! This is a public road!
[10:57] ---
    N-Never mind about that,
    an Infernal has appeared, right?
[11:02] ---
    A murder defendant at Ueno District Court
    has become an Infernal.
[11:07] ---
    He's apparently attacking people right now.
[11:09] ---
    You two hurry on ahead to the scene!
[11:12] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:13] ---
    Saving lives is your top priority!
[11:16] ---
    Roger!
[11:24] ---
    "Ueno District Courthouse"
[11:33] ---
    I am your lawyer! I'm on your side, right?
[11:38] ---
    That's right. As a firefighter,
    I used to save people like this.
[11:45] ---
    I just saved your life.
[11:48] ---
    One might say that it now
    belongs to me, right?
[11:55] ---
    That means I can do
    whatever I want with you, right?
[12:02] ---
    Stop that!
[12:03] ---
    God have mercy!
[12:08] ---
    What the hell--
[12:13] ---
    What the hell--
[12:18] ---
    What the hell is your problem?!
[12:20] ---
    Because of you, Mamoru-kun got
    hoorayed up into a tree!
[12:24] ---
    Yeah!
[12:26] ---
    Huh? That's your beef?
[12:28] ---
    Ah, so you're Special Fire Soldiers.
[12:32] ---
    You're a murderous gang of
    bogus helper-men, aren't you?
[12:35] ---
    How nice. I'm a bit jealous.
[12:39] ---
    We're here, too!
[12:41] ---
    Sputter Comet!
[12:45] ---
    Sputter Comet-san!
[12:47] ---
    He really is speaking, huh?
    Is his sense of self intact?
[12:51] ---
    When one's attachment to
    life and will is strong enough,
[12:54] ---
    their character in life still remains,
[12:57] ---
    but I've never seen it go this far.
[12:59] ---
    So there's no way to escape, eh?
    All right! I surrender!
[13:05] ---
    What?
[13:06] ---
    If you're not a murderous gang,
    then you'll let me off, right?
[13:10] ---
    I was found not guilty at my trial.
    You can't very well kill me. Right?
[13:19] ---
    Unfortunately, I'm not so good-natured
    as to pardon scum like you.
[13:26] ---
    You really are a gang of murderers!
[13:33] ---
    Damn.
[13:35] ---
    I'm gonna go around killing people
    the way you guys kill Infernals!
[13:40] ---
    Captain Obi!
[13:41] ---
    After him, Shinra! You're the only one
    who can catch up to him!
[13:46] ---
    But, sir, he's... self-aware.
[13:49] ---
    He's no longer human.
    I know how you feel, but...
[13:54] ---
    Captain...
[13:57] ---
    Shinra...
[13:59] ---
    ...pay no heed to what he says.
[14:02] ---
    Dispose of him.
[14:05] ---
    Okay, get going!
[14:06] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:09] ---
    Dispose of... Put to rest...
    someone who's self-aware...
[14:17] ---
    Hinawa, I'm sorry.
[14:20] ---
    It's okay.
[14:21] ---
    Please always remain our shining light.

    --This city is almost like a toy box.
    Who should I play with?
[15:12] ---
    Interrupt my good time, will you?
[15:15] ---
    Do you have any idea how many people
    I rescued in my firefighter days?
[15:19] ---
    You can't fault me for killing a few of them
    in my Infernal days, right?
[15:24] ---
    You killed them during your
    firefighter days, too, didn't you?
[15:27] ---
    Can't you do addition
    and subtraction, you idiot?
[15:31] ---
    Those don't balance out
    the number I saved, you idiot!
[15:48] ---
    Who is this guy?
[15:54] ---
    What is your deal, man?
[15:59] ---
    Y-You're the devil...
[16:05] ---
    Wrong.

    Observed a second Adolla Burst
    from the subject rookie.
[16:18] ---
    That rookie is the real jackpot.
[16:20] ---
    But it would be a waste to extinguish
    an Infernal with a sense of self.
[16:25] ---
    Move to retrieve him!
[16:27] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[16:30] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[16:33] ---
    W-Wait! Hold on a second!
[16:36] ---
    I can't offer a sister's prayer,
    but this is good enough for you.
[16:40] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[16:42] ---
    I-I'm still afraid to die!
[16:44] ---
    At least let my end be met with
    a sister's prayer of peace! Please!
[16:53] ---
    Aw, what the hell. The sister and the others
    are probably headed here now.
[16:58] ---
    Until they get here, stay still and repent.
[17:01] ---
    Yeah, I'll do that.
[17:10] ---
    Irredeemable scum.
[17:12] ---
    Damn you! Hero my ass!
[17:16] ---
    Shut up! You shut your mouth!
    I'm putting you to rest!

    Special Fire Force Company 5
    Captain, Princess Hibana.
SIGN    "Captain" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Princess Hibana"
[17:39] ---
    The 5th will dispose of this Infernal.
[17:42] ---
    Hey, what is this?! Let me go!
[17:46] ---
    Take him away!
[17:47] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:48] ---
    Hold it! The 8th is putting him to rest!
[17:51] ---
    Don't try to swoop in
    and do whatever you feel like!
[17:53] ---
    I am a captain. Are you defying me?
[17:57] ---
    You are not my superior!
[18:06] ---
    Damn it.
[18:08] ---
    What the hell did you do?
[18:10] ---
    You low-level 8th gravel grit.
[18:13] ---
    Gravel should lie spread on
    the ground like gravel.
[18:17] ---
    None of the crunch, crunch,
    crunch of your fussing.
[18:19] ---
    The only time you make a sound
    is when I step on you, gravel grit.
[18:25] ---
    Lick it.
[18:27] ---
    You people at the 5th are
    a bit domineering, aren't you?
[18:31] ---
    I said lick it.
[18:33] ---
    I'm speaking to you seriously!
[18:44] ---
    Hold him down!
[18:47] ---
    --5th's Angels Three, on the scene!
    --5th's Angels Three, on the scene!
[18:54] ---
    Out of the way! Move!
[19:02] ---
    Hey! Fire Soldiers are supposed to
    keep the people safe, right?
[19:06] ---
    What are you guys at the 5th doing?!
[19:09] ---
    It's one kid who fell on his caboose.
    It's not like he got burned.
[19:20] ---
    You'd even joke about burning a kid, lady?
[19:25] ---
    Ho...
[19:26] ---
    Let me show you what a Fire Soldier is.
[19:29] ---
    Bring it on, 5th!
[19:32] ---
    I, Shinra Kusakabe, Second Class Fire Soldier
    from the 8th, will take you on!
[19:37] ---
    This ought to be good.
[19:45] ---
    Shinra!
[19:52] ---
    It's unusual for an Infernal to be
    as self-aware as this one.
[19:56] ---
    It would also be a waste
    to dispose of him like this.
[19:59] ---
    The 5th will secure him.
[20:02] ---
    This is the 8th's jurisdiction.
[20:04] ---
    Don't you think you're being
    a bit presumptuous?
[20:06] ---
    The moment he Infernalized,
    he became officially deceased,
[20:10] ---
    and putting him to rest
    will return him to ashes.
[20:13] ---
    That being the case, I see no problem
    in taking his body in as-is.
[20:18] ---
    Besides, the 8th is a new facility;
[20:21] ---
    I understand you don't even
    have a science team.
[20:23] ---
    This is a precious specimen.
[20:26] ---
    Wouldn't taking him back to the 5th
    represent an important step
[20:29] ---
    toward solving the mystery
    of human combustion?
[20:34] ---
    You intend to share the results
    of your investigation with us, yes?
[20:38] ---
    Absolutely I will!
[20:44] ---
    Very well.
[20:46] ---
    The 5th can take over from here.
[20:49] ---
    Whoo, how lame.
[20:52] ---
    Huh?
SIGN    "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Toru Kishiri"
[20:57] ---
    The captain of the 8th
    is a no-talent nobody, right?
[21:02] ---
    Seriously lame.
[21:05] ---
    --What did you say?!
    --You wanna go?!
[21:07] ---
    Now Captain Nobody's flunkies are
    butting in. Second-class nobodies.

    --Shinra! Arthur!
    --Why, you! I'll teach you!
    --You're screwing with the wrong man!
[21:14] ---
    --Why, you! I'll teach you!
    --You're screwing with the wrong man!
[21:32] ---
    Obi, if a Fire Soldier starts
    sticking his nose in too deep,
[21:38] ---
    it won't be the fire, but himself,
    that gets extinguished.
[21:42] ---
    You don't say. So I'm blowing smoke
    in others' faces, am I?
[21:47] ---
    Then again,
[21:49] ---
    the flames of the 8th
    won't be put out so easily.
[22:06] ---
    Special Fire Force Company 5,
    we're heading home!

    "To be continued"
[22:22] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[22:25] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[22:28] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[22:32] ---
    are not enough to save you
[22:47] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[22:51] ---
    between sights we never reach
[22:54] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[22:57] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[23:01] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[23:04] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[23:08] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[23:13] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[23:17] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[23:20] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[23:23] ---
    are not enough to save you
[23:26] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[23:29] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[23:32] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[23:36] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[23:39] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[23:42] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[23:51] ---
    "Next time"
[23:53] ---
