[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:09] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[01:42] ---
    Nee-san...
[01:43] ---
    Huh?
[01:46] ---
    S-Sorry!
[01:49] ---
    Was she crying?
[01:53] ---
    I really am sorry.
[01:55] ---
    Th-That's okay. I was the one
    being absent-minded.
[01:59] ---
    Take care with your training, okay?
[02:02] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:04] ---
    Well, if you'll excuse me...
[02:08] ---
    Oh, um, Sister...?
[02:12] ---
    Is there something troubling you?
[02:18] ---
    Helping others out is a Fire Soldier's
    whole purpose, so...
[02:26] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:42] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[02:43] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[02:47] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[02:50] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[02:52] ---
    The end is illuminated
[02:54] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[02:57] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[03:00] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[03:03] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[03:07] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[03:14] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:20] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[03:25] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[03:29] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[03:35] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[03:40] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[03:43] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[03:46] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[03:51] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:55] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:01] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:11] ---
    After that little dustup
    with the 5th yesterday,
[04:13] ---
    you probably know this,
    but that bunch is hinky.
[04:17] ---
    We're going to investigate them,
    and it may come to blows.
[04:21] ---
    Captain Obi, that's no
    longer physical training--
[04:25] ---
    it's something physical-training adjacent.
[04:31] ---
    Hinawa!
[04:32] ---
    Our primary objective
    is to put Infernals to rest,
[04:36] ---
    and to keep the public safe.
[04:38] ---
    However,
[04:39] ---
    we must keep in mind the
    8th's hidden objective
[04:43] ---
    to investigate suspicious crew members
[04:44] ---
    and find the means to oppose them, as well.
[04:45] ---
    "Setsuko-in-the-Wall"
[04:47] ---
    Like Captain Obi said...
[04:48] ---
    I'm so distracted by his cap,
    I can't hear a word he's saying.
[04:54] ---
    Damn you, griffin!
    Attack my castle again, will you?
[04:58] ---
    I'll tarnish Excalibur with your blood!
[05:01] ---
    You really are an idiot.
[05:04] ---
    Say what you want, but please don't
    take down that adorable griffin.
[05:10] ---
    You'll be arrested for violating
    the wildlife protection laws.
[05:13] ---
    You're pretty dangerous
    yourself, there, Maki-san.
[05:17] ---
    Then again, 90% of the time,
    Maki-san is cool, beautiful, and lovely.
[05:22] ---
    It's just a shame about the other 10%.
[05:24] ---
    A shame...?
[05:26] ---
    Hey, you people, this is an
    important meeting. No idle chatter.
[05:32] ---
    Lieutenant! Please don't point
    your gun at us, even as a joke!
[05:35] ---
    Do I look like the kind of man who jokes?
[05:38] ---
    Huh?
[05:42] ---
    Látom.
[05:43] ---
    My leg! My... leg...
[05:49] ---
    There's nothing there.
[05:51] ---
    But how? An airgun...?
[05:55] ---
    No, it's a real gun.
[05:58] ---
    Lieutenant Hinawa is a
    second generation, like me.
[06:02] ---
    He can't start fires on his own,
    but he is able to control them.
[06:06] ---
    He weakened the gunpowder's explosive force
[06:07] ---
    so that when he shot you,
    it was with nonlethal force.
[06:11] ---
    "Weakened"
[06:14] ---
    Unlike Infernals, when you face a
    hostile second or third generation,
[06:19] ---
    there's no telling what they might do.
[06:21] ---
    We're going to start
    going up against them, too.
[06:23] ---
    Arthur, you're an idiot,
    so that goes double for you.
[06:31] ---
    I'm a man who slays dragons.
[06:34] ---
    You'll have to find a dragon first, though.
[06:38] ---
    Training starts now. I'm going to
    push the hell out of you.
[06:42] ---
    Don't focus only up top!
    Watch your opponent's whole body!
[06:47] ---
    Lieutenant,
[06:48] ---
    I can't stand how the 5th would
    even joke about burning civilians.
[06:54] ---
    Who is that Captain Princess, anyway?
[06:57] ---
    Third-generation Fire
    Soldier, Princess Hibana.
[07:01] ---
    She rose out of nowhere from Haijima,
    and landed in her current position.
[07:06] ---
    From what I've learned,
    she seems to have gotten where she is
[07:09] ---
    by illegally researching Infernals
    and selling away her data.
[07:13] ---
    In that case, she might already know
    the cause behind human combustion!
[07:18] ---
    She has enough data to allow an upstart
    like her to become a captain, at least.
[07:23] ---
    We're planning on using force to get it, too.
[07:26] ---
    We're getting into the 5th,
    even if it means violence.
[07:29] ---
    Your feet and Arthur's plasma
    will be useful to that end.
[07:32] ---
    Forget the data,
    I'm just in it to smash the 5th.
[07:36] ---
    "Special Fire Force Complex 5"
[07:42] ---
    Please, stop, already!
[07:45] ---
    Gravel! Gravel! Gravel!
[07:50] ---
    Silence! Your body is the one I'm talking to!
[07:53] ---
    Tell me everything about yourself
    that I don't already know!
[07:56] ---
    Both you and everything
    that's not you is all gravel!
[08:00] ---
    Lay the foundation for my happiness,
    you gravel scum!
[08:05] ---
    It's coming out! It's coming out!
[08:07] ---
    What do I care, you piece of crap?
    Keep on screaming, you nobody.
[08:11] ---
    Lie there on the ground for
    my strong, beautiful self, gravel!
[08:27] ---
    The flame is the soul's breath.
[08:30] ---
    The black smoke is the soul's release.
[08:34] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
[08:38] ---
    ...return to the great flame of fire.
[08:41] ---
    Látom.
[09:09] ---
    I ought to know.
[09:12] ---
    That smile was strained. Did something
    happen with those 5th guys?
[09:21] ---
    Hey, Arthur, do you know if
    something's up with the sister?
[09:24] ---
    What? The princess has appointed me
    commander of the order?
[09:28] ---
    You look absolutely
    ridiculous when you sleep.
[09:36] ---
    What's up? Is something wrong
    with the princess?
[09:39] ---
    Stop calling the sister a princess.
    Besides, what about Maki-san?
[09:44] ---
    --That woman is an ogress--
[09:45] ---
    --Shinra!
    --That woman is an ogress--
[09:48] ---
    What brings you here?
[09:51] ---
    Do either of you know where the sister went?
[09:54] ---
    Huh?
[09:55] ---
    "Episode 5:
    The Battle Begins"
[10:03] ---
    I beg your pardon.
[10:05] ---
    What is a sister doing here at this hour?
[10:08] ---
    Would it be possible for me
    to see your captain?
[10:10] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[10:13] ---
    Please tell your captain that Iris is here.
[10:18] ---
    Something I can do for you,
    little Miss Have-not?
[10:22] ---
    I'm not entirely sure what you're doing,
    but it's dangerous, isn't it?
[10:27] ---
    It's also corrupt research
    that defies the great Sol!
[10:31] ---
    Are those really your ideals?
[10:36] ---
    Nee-san...
[10:38] ---
    Do not wear that habit in front of me!
[10:48] ---
    Nee-san, why?!
[10:51] ---
    Sisters are nothing but window
    dressing for the Fire Force.
[10:55] ---
    And you've devoted yourself to this nonsense.
[10:57] ---
    Once a fool, always a fool, I guess.
[11:01] ---
    Don't talk to me about God.
[11:03] ---
    What you all worship is a hollow
    puppet that doesn't even exist.
[11:07] ---
    What we have in this land,
    and across the world, isn't God.
[11:11] ---
    We only have devils such as myself.
[11:15] ---
    Devils...
[11:29] ---
    I'll use you to lure the 8th here,
    and then crush them.
[11:36] ---
    What was that? A mortar?
[11:38] ---
    Something came down out of the sky!
[11:41] ---
    Who are you?!
[11:43] ---
    Who am I? Well, let's see...
[11:47] ---
    I'm Find-the-Sister-and-Crush-the-5th Man,
    from Company 8!
[12:28] ---
    Lieutenant! Are you sure we
    should be acting so rashly?!
[12:32] ---
    The 5th has long been carrying out
    some pretty shady research here.
[12:36] ---
    It's not exactly like they
    can file any reports!
[12:51] ---
    Shinra, you find the sister.
    Maki and I will take care of things here.
[12:56] ---
    Just the two of you, against all of them?
[12:58] ---
    Once you get inside and start tearing it up,
[13:01] ---
    we'll have more room to move, too.
[13:03] ---
    Go!
[13:04] ---
    Right!
[13:05] ---
    Arthur! Keep going! We'll cover you!
[13:08] ---
    You watch yourself, too, Lieutenant.
[13:12] ---
    Here he comes!
[13:20] ---
    You won't get past me!
[13:22] ---
    He's fast!
[13:27] ---
    Discount not; it was the back of my sword.
[13:29] ---
    "Discount"
[13:29] ---
    "Discount"
    "Despair"
[13:37] ---
    A-After him! Don't let him get away!
[13:39] ---
    Don't think you can escape my discipline!
[13:45] ---
    Run!
[14:01] ---
    Lieutenant, as usual, you seem to be
    more merciless against people
[14:04] ---
    than you ever are against Infernals.
[14:07] ---
    I didn't join the Special Fire Force,
    I joined the 8th under Captain Obi
[14:12] ---
    so I could lay out the idiots of this land
    who won't listen to reason.
[14:17] ---
    You pound on them, too, Maki. Pound on them
    until they give you the location
[14:22] ---
    of the spontaneous combustion research data.
[14:24] ---
    I left the military and joined the Fire Force
    because I wanted to save lives.
[14:31] ---
    So I'm not big on man-to-man fighting.
[14:34] ---
    You did hit that rookie
    from the 5th earlier, right?
[14:37] ---
    That was just a light tap.
[14:40] ---
    That devil sure can move when he's
    running away. I can't see where he went.
[14:50] ---
    Devil's Footprints.
[14:55] ---
    Are you following the
    Devil's Footprints, too?
[14:59] ---
    Who are you, old-timer? A conehead?
[15:02] ---
    It's dangerous here. Go back to your farm.
[15:04] ---
    I can't have you snooping
    around the 5th like this.
[15:09] ---
    I'll kill you.
[15:11] ---
    Aren't you...?
[15:15] ---
    By administering a drug
    I've been researching,
[15:17] ---
    I've boosted this Infernal's firepower.
[15:21] ---
    I'm tickled to have found
    such a fine specimen.
[15:25] ---
    We meet again, murderer.
    I'll take my sword and... my sword and...
[15:32] ---
    ...my sword to...
[15:44] ---
    Those small-timers from the 8th
    are too big for their britches.
[15:49] ---
    What is that?
[15:52] ---
    Lieutenant, get back!
SIGN    That was some tremendous firepower.
[16:01] ---
    Heh, heh, 8th nobodies.
[16:03] ---
    I just blow some flammable gas
    into my zero-oxygen bubble gum,
[16:08] ---
    send it toward my target,
[16:10] ---
    pop the bubble,
[16:11] ---
    --Here comes another one.
    --and when the flammable gas
    hits fresh oxygen...
[16:12] ---
    --Please stay back.
    --and when the flammable gas
    hits fresh oxygen...
[16:13] ---
    --and when the flammable gas
    hits fresh oxygen...
[16:15] ---
    ...it explodes!
[16:18] ---
    That's what's known as Toru Kishiri's
    Backdraft Bubblish Gum!
[16:19] ---
    "Backdraft Bubblish Gum"
[16:23] ---
    And another, and another, and another!
[16:28] ---
    Maki, where are we being attacked from?
[16:32] ---
    From that warehouse. The target
    must be inside. I can't be sure.
[16:37] ---
    That's good enough.
[16:42] ---
    "Ballistic control"
[16:48] ---
    Lame. What are you even aiming at?
[16:50] ---
    From the sparks generated on impact,
    I tweak each bullet again.
[16:55] ---
    "Ricochet control"
[16:59] ---
    What...?
[17:12] ---
    Pathetic. It takes more than
    this to stop my rookies.
[17:16] ---
    Maki, we're going to get these crewmen
    to give up where the documents are.
[17:20] ---
    Yes, sir.
[17:22] ---
    Hold it!
[17:25] ---
    5th Angels Three...
[17:27] ---
    --On the scene!
    --Has arrived!
    --Breaking in!
[17:29] ---
    Have you made your peace?
[17:32] ---
    Finding yourself alone in an enemy's base
[17:34] ---
    shows that the meager 8th is
    as undermanned as our intel says.
[17:39] ---
    The Infernal that my research has
    fortified will reduce you to cinders.
[17:46] ---
    He's my new weapon that can focus
    his augmented firepower into one point,
[17:50] ---
    and then release it!
[17:54] ---
    Leave neither a body nor ashes, now.
[17:59] ---
    Thanks to your drug, the flame and
    power within my body are surging,
[18:04] ---
    until they're ready to come out!
[18:12] ---
    That was close.
[18:14] ---
    Hey, you! Are you trying to
    turn me into knight teriyaki?!
[18:17] ---
    Teriyaki? What kind of seasoning
    do you think you're basted in?
[18:25] ---
    I alight upon the scorched earth,
[18:28] ---
    clad in golden robes...
[18:30] ---
    Huh? Are you talking about tempura now?!
[18:36] ---
    What are you, an idiot?
[18:38] ---
    I'm a knight.
[18:43] ---
    Status?
[18:46] ---
    The Angels vs. Hinawa,
    Arthur vs. the Infernal,
[18:51] ---
    and Obi is nowhere to be seen at the moment.
[18:54] ---
    Like moths flying into a flame.
[18:57] ---
    Burn them all until there's nothing left.
[19:00] ---
    The truth and the intrigue behind
    spontaneous human combustion...
[19:03] ---
    ...are all the result of our research.
[19:06] ---
    I won't allow gravel to stand in my way.
[19:12] ---
    Are you seriously a Special Fire Soldier?
    You got cold feet?
[19:16] ---
    You're not putting up a fight.
[19:23] ---
    Don't act like this is no big deal.
[19:34] ---
    What's the matter with you?
    You're only acting like you're tough,
[19:37] ---
    when actually, you're
    ridiculously weak! And stupid!
[19:41] ---
    Why is this? Why am I not my usual self?
[19:44] ---
    It's not a question of your manner.
[19:47] ---
    My Infernal's firepower
    is just too strong for you.
[19:51] ---
    There are chumps who just say
    they're out of the zone or whatever,
[19:55] ---
    when really, they couldn't ever do anything
    in the first place, and run away.
[20:00] ---
    It's exactly the kind of excuse
    you bogus Fire Soldiers would use!
[20:04] ---
    Bunch of moronic nobodies!
[20:06] ---
    What?
[20:09] ---
    The newly-assigned rookie can't even
    fathom how outmatched he is.
[20:16] ---
    Then he blames it on
    having a bad day. Pathetic.
[20:19] ---
    An idiot who can only talk tough, a knight?
[20:22] ---
    Good one, coming from
    a behind-in-the-count loser!
[20:26] ---
    I'm not just a knight; I'm the Knight King!
[20:29] ---
    Shut up!
[20:35] ---
    The least I can do for a nosy nobody like you
[20:38] ---
    is to kill you while making you suffer!
[20:43] ---
    Why? I'm getting no power at all.
[20:50] ---
    My left? Why, when I'm right-handed,
    am I holding it in my left hand?
[20:56] ---
    Huh?! How should I know?!
[20:58] ---
    You can use that excuse
    when you get to the afterlife!
[21:14] ---
    Violet Flash.
[21:25] ---
    What do you know?
    I thought something was strange.
[21:29] ---
    What the hell?
[21:31] ---
    He's ridiculously strong!
[21:35] ---
    5th Angels Three Three-on-Three
    Triple-grating Slasher, ver. 2.3!
[21:42] ---
    That's way too many... numbers!
[21:48] ---
    There are more than just
    three 5th Angels Three?
[21:52] ---
    Looks like that's all of them, though.
[21:57] ---
    I wonder if Shinra and
    the others are doing okay.
[22:01] ---
    While Shinra is dashing around,
    we'll look for their documents.
[22:15] ---
    In here.
[22:16] ---
    
[22:17] ---
    "To be continued"
[22:18] ---
    
[22:20] ---
    
[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
[22:31] ---
    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"
