[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...
[00:32] ---
    Pardon the intrusion!
[00:38] ---
    This is a great chance to see how far
    I can go up against a company captain.
[00:47] ---
    But I don't see any chance of winning
    unless I can deal with that ability.
[00:50] ---
    You're not getting through.
[00:52] ---
    --5th Angels Three!
    --5th Angels Three!
[00:55] ---
    --Three on three!
    --Three on three!
[01:12] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[01:13] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[01:17] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[01:20] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[01:22] ---
    The end is illuminated
[01:24] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[01:27] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[01:30] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[01:32] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[01:37] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[01:44] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[01:49] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[01:55] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[01:59] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[02:05] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[02:10] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[02:13] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[02:16] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[02:21] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[02:25] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[02:31] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[02:37] ---
    "Episode 6:
    The Spark of Promise"
[02:57] ---
    Iris, sit there and watch your allies
    from the 8th get burned up.
[03:03] ---
    Why, nee-san?!
[03:05] ---
    Go ahead and pray to the God
    of salvation you favor so much.
[03:08] ---
    In this world, you either burn or get burned.
[03:11] ---
    I'm someone in the "burn" camp.
[03:15] ---
    You saw the other nuns engulfed in
    flames and disintegrating in misery.
[03:34] ---
    Luckily for me, my third-generation
    abilities manifested.
[03:38] ---
    I took up with those who burn.
[03:40] ---
    I will burn gravel lesser than myself
    to cinders until they are consumed,
[03:44] ---
    and stand on their ashes to rise even higher.
[03:48] ---
    That is what mankind's happiness is.
[03:51] ---
    Whatever you gain from doing that
    can never be called happiness--
[03:54] ---
    You're just spouting your platitudes,
    waiting to be burned up!
[04:00] ---
    You leave the sister alone!
[04:05] ---
    The hero has arrived.
[04:08] ---
    I'll start by burning him up.
    Stay there and watch.
[04:12] ---
    Shinra-san, run! As strong as you are,
    you can't beat the captain!
[04:17] ---
    It's all right, Sister.
[04:22] ---
    Things aren't gonna go like last time.
[04:24] ---
    Gravel,
[04:26] ---
    you haven't forgotten, have you?
    You can't lay a finger on me.
[04:32] ---
    We'll never know unless I try.
[04:39] ---
    Shinra-san!
[04:40] ---
    Once again, you're on the ground.
    You really are gravel!
[04:45] ---
    Damn, I'm so lightheaded...
[04:51] ---
    Wh-What is this...?
[04:54] ---
    Heat syncope.
[04:56] ---
    Heat syncope...?
[04:58] ---
    Your body is currently enveloped
    in heat of my making.
[05:03] ---
    What?
[05:04] ---
    That heat is making your blood vessels
    dilate and your pressure drop.
[05:08] ---
    The blood flowing to your
    brain has fallen sharply.
[05:12] ---
    That's making you lightheaded.
[05:14] ---
    For someone who showed up so
    enthusiastic about being a hero
[05:17] ---
    to stumble and fall over a
    little heat wave is laughable.
[05:27] ---
    Lightheaded?
[05:29] ---
    Oh...
[05:32] ---
    Then I've got this whole
    situation wrong, don't I?
[05:40] ---
    What do you have wrong?
[05:42] ---
    You really are unsteady on your feet, right?
[05:46] ---
    The palpitations, shortness of breath,
    and dizziness are all in my head!
[05:50] ---
    Looks to me like you're just
    grinning and bearing it.
[05:53] ---
    Besides, the biggest illusion you're under
    is believing that you're a hero, isn't it?
[06:05] ---
    Right now, I'm lightheaded
    in reality, and in my mind.
[06:09] ---
    So misguided or not, I can be a hero, too.
[06:14] ---
    Ridiculous. There's no way
    you should be able to stand.
[06:17] ---
    Compared to the drills Lieutenant Hinawa
    put me through, this is nothing.
[06:25] ---
    Fine, then. It's no fun burning up
    an opponent who can't fight back.
[06:29] ---
    Clematis!
[06:32] ---
    You can be immolated by my red-hot flowers.
[06:35] ---
    Nee-san, you can't still be--
[06:37] ---
    Keep quiet and watch.
[06:47] ---
    Princess Hibana, aren't you the one
    laboring under the wrong assumption?
[06:52] ---
    What?
[06:53] ---
    Yeah. Tonight...
[06:58] ---
    ...I'm Deluded-Lady-Wakeup-Call Man!
[07:01] ---
    You're saying I'm mistaken?
[07:04] ---
    Could be. That's just the
    way it looks from here.
[07:10] ---
    Screw you!
[07:31] ---
    So your dizziness is all in your head, is it?
[07:33] ---
    You still haven't recovered your sense
    of balance, and you're staggering around!
[07:41] ---
    Damn it!
[07:42] ---
    How can you call yourself a hero like this?
[07:45] ---
    Let me open your eyes and
    show you how pathetic you are.
[07:57] ---
    Sakura!
[08:19] ---
    Writhe! Dance!
[08:21] ---
    Stop this already, nee-san!
[08:22] ---
    If you want me to stop,
    go ahead and pray to God!
[08:26] ---
    You do know, don't you, that there is no God,
    let alone heroes, in this world?
[08:31] ---
    That's not true.
[08:33] ---
    If you pray with all your heart,
    you can find comfort,
[08:37] ---
    and people have been saved by it!
[08:38] ---
    That's not real salvation!
[08:41] ---
    Then are you saying
    there is no salvation in life?
[08:45] ---
    Yeah, there is.
[08:47] ---
    Exploiting and outsmarting
    others for your own success,
[08:51] ---
    and looking down on the
    foolish slugs from above.
[08:54] ---
    What you see from up there is
    impotent gravel, gravel, gravel!
[08:59] ---
    It's fantastic knowing that you
    weren't scum, and were saved.
[09:05] ---
    The standing and money you get from
    being there is a person's salvation.
[09:09] ---
    How so?! You prayed with us
    every day at the convent, remember?
[09:14] ---
    Sure I did. And what
    salvation came as a result?
[09:24] ---
    The convent took in all of us orphans.
[09:32] ---
    Every day, we devoted ourselves to God.
[09:35] ---
    Amid all of it, I was the only one
    who didn't take it seriously.
[09:40] ---
    And then, that day...
[09:48] ---
    ...the other sisters suddenly burned up.
[09:51] ---
    All of them, except you and me.
[09:56] ---
    They were all devout nuns,
    who served God better than I did.
[10:01] ---
    You realize, don't you,
    that nothing ever comes of our lives.
[10:06] ---
    The fact that I'm still alive
    like this is proof above all else!
[10:12] ---
    People can only grow stronger
    for their own ends.
[10:15] ---
    Seeking salvation without growing stronger?
[10:18] ---
    You might as well ask for the moon, too!
[10:23] ---
    The fact that lowly gravel seeks
    salvation with everyone else
[10:27] ---
    is misplaced in its own right.
[10:31] ---
    Princess Hibana, you're a victim
    of the flames, too, aren't you?
[10:36] ---
    Are you still here, you would-be hero?
[10:41] ---
    I have a little bit of
    an idea of how you feel.
[10:45] ---
    I'm someone whose life was
    messed up by flames, too.
[10:49] ---
    What can you hope to know?
[10:53] ---
    Sakura Blizzard!
[11:03] ---
    This time, bow down on the
    ground like the gravel you are!
[11:15] ---
    I can't let myself collapse here.
[11:20] ---
    The heat syncope...
[11:22] ---
    I will get back up as often as it takes,
    and each time, I won't be beaten.
[11:27] ---
    For your sake.
[11:31] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
    Are you losing your mind?!
[11:34] ---
    Listen to me.
[11:36] ---
    I'm about to lay you out.
    That, along with all the rest of this...
[11:41] ---
    ...is for your own good!
[11:46] ---
    If you want what's good for me,
    then burn up, already!
[11:50] ---
    You piece of know-nothing gravel,
    you're spewing nonsense!
[11:53] ---
    There are flames that burn the body...
[11:56] ---
    ...but there are also flames that light
    the way, and flames that warm you up!
[12:00] ---
    There's no such things
    as heroes in this world!
[12:04] ---
    Well, it's because there are
    no heroes in this world...
[12:09] ---
    ...that I'm telling you I'm gonna be a hero!
[12:14] ---
    I am... Deluded-Lady...
[12:18] ---
    ...Wakeup-Call Man!
[12:43] ---
    Wow, how pretty!
[12:45] ---
    That's amazing, Sister Hibana.
[12:48] ---
    Watch this, Sister Clematis.
[12:52] ---
    When I add a little sodium solution,
    the flames react to it.
[13:02] ---
    It turned yellow!
[13:04] ---
    This one is copper.
[13:12] ---
    Watch this, Sister Sakura.
[13:14] ---
    Calcium.
[13:21] ---
    I also have potassium,
    and strontium, and some others.
[13:27] ---
    How pretty!
[13:29] ---
    They all look so great!
[13:31] ---
    What do you think? Flames are
    incredibly pretty, aren't they?
[13:35] ---
    Yes!
[13:36] ---
    Sister Hibana, I want to be like you.
[13:39] ---
    You can control flames,
    and you're good at science.
[13:54] ---
    Iris! Don't hide behind there,
[13:57] ---
    come here and have a closer look.
[14:12] ---
    Careful. They may be in the shape
    of flowers, but they're still flames.
[14:17] ---
    You'll get burned.
[14:21] ---
    See here!
[14:23] ---
    Sister Hibana, are you playing
    with your pyrokinesis again?
[14:28] ---
    Come now, everyone, into the chapel.
[14:32] ---
    Yes, Sister Sumire.
[14:36] ---
    You, too, Sister Hibana.
[14:38] ---
    That ability was bestowed
    upon you by the great Sol.
[14:42] ---
    Moreover, if you mishandle those
    flames, it can be very dangerous.
[14:47] ---
    I'm being careful with
    them, so it's all right.
[14:50] ---
    There you go, saying that again.
[14:53] ---
    Head inside, now.
[14:56] ---
    Okay.
[15:07] ---
    Um, Sister Hibana...
[15:11] ---
    I, uh...
[15:13] ---
    What?
[15:15] ---
    I, uh... I, uh...
[15:24] ---
    I want you to show me
    the flowers again sometime.
[15:36] ---
    I'll show them to you once you
    get over your shyness.
[15:41] ---
    Do you mean it?
[15:54] ---
    The sound of someone's
    body burning; that person's cries;
[15:58] ---
    the pain of the flames; the suffering,
    as their life burns away...
[16:06] ---
    What do you think? Flames are
    incredibly pretty, aren't they?
[16:13] ---
    As if...
[16:16] ---
    flames could be pretty...
[16:23] ---
    Let's go. We have to get away,
    or we'll burn up, too.
[16:43] ---
    As if this ability were
    bestowed by the great Sol.
[16:47] ---
    Flames are the devil himself, aren't they?
[16:51] ---
    And since I'm able to use that power...
[16:54] ---
    A devil should act like a devil.
[16:58] ---
    Nee-san...
[17:01] ---
    ...where are you going?
[17:04] ---
    Iris...
[17:09] ---
    Don't get yourself burned up by flames.
[17:17] ---
    I'll exploit them--people,
    flames, and whatever else.
[17:22] ---
    "Haijima Industries"
[17:27] ---
    That's just a little slice. I'll turn it
    all over, on certain conditions.
[17:32] ---
    I want the rank of captain.
    And you'll provide me
[17:36] ---
    with the platform and funding
    to carry on my experiments.
[17:50] ---
    Why?
[17:54] ---
    When everyone at the convent
    had no one else to turn to,
[17:57] ---
    you were the one we looked up to.
[17:59] ---
    You were beautiful, and smart,
    and you could control flames.
[18:04] ---
    When we were lonely and anxious,
    you were our hero.
[18:13] ---
    I didn't have anyone. The only thing
    that propped me up were my flames.
[18:19] ---
    But then, even they turned on me.
[18:32] ---
    I don't have anything now.
[18:43] ---
    You've got a hero, right here.
[18:48] ---
    Look up to the skies and cry out my name!
    I'll come save you anytime!
[18:56] ---
    Don't be absurd.
    What makes you obliged to help me?
[19:02] ---
    I don't need to be obliged.
[19:04] ---
    When someone is in trouble, I go help them.
    That's what a hero does, right?
[19:16] ---
    Whatever the case, you beat me.
    I don't intend to fight you anymore.
[19:22] ---
    "Ping ping"
[19:27] ---
    You think I've overcome my shyness a little?
[19:33] ---
    For crying out loud, Iris.
[19:36] ---
    After you come waltzing into
    this place all on your own?
[19:41] ---
    I just wanted you to show me
    your pretty flowers again.
[19:48] ---
    I did promise you, didn't I?
[19:57] ---
    Are those...?
[19:59] ---
    Yeah. Irises.
[20:05] ---
    Nee-san, I love you!
[20:11] ---
    "To be continued"
[20:16] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[20:19] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[20:22] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[20:26] ---
    are not enough to save you
[20:41] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[20:45] ---
    between sights we never reach
[20:48] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[20:51] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[20:55] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[20:58] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[21:02] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[21:07] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[21:11] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[21:14] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[21:17] ---
    are not enough to save you
[21:20] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[21:23] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[21:26] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[21:30] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[21:33] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[21:36] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[21:51] ---
    The guy in glasses... The guy in glasses...
[21:54] ---
    Looks like you've gone around
    doing a real number on us, 8th.
[21:58] ---
    --Lieutenant Hinawa.
    --Lieutenant Hinawa.
[22:02] ---
    How am I going to explain this
    whole mess to the higher-ups,
[22:05] ---
    or to the gravel still sprawled out all over?
[22:08] ---
    Captain Obi was apparently
    going to make it look
[22:11] ---
    like it was a joint nighttime
    training exercise.
[22:14] ---
    But you charged in before
    that could happen, right?
[22:18] ---
    If you keep that up all the time,
    you're going to mess up sooner or later.
[22:23] ---
    I just had a great idea!
[22:25] ---
    What if the 5th and the 8th
    all had a dinner party together?
[22:30] ---
    Th-That might be a bit much.
[22:32] ---
    Indeed. That sounds pretty good.
[22:35] ---
    Huh?
[22:37] ---
    Sometimes, when you're
    trying to game someone,
[22:39] ---
    the more ridiculous the method,
    the easier it is to succeed.
[22:42] ---
    I'll say that in order to test
    the 5th's fighting strength,
[22:44] ---
    I asked the 8th to play the bad guys
    and stage a surprise attack drill.
[22:50] ---
    Shinra, I'd like to set this up,
    so round up the 8th's people for me.
[22:56] ---
    You sure are being cooperative, huh?
[23:02] ---
    Well... I've taken a liking to you...
[23:07] ---
    Huh?
[23:13] ---
    Chief, we're ahead of schedule,
    but we've begun our investigation of the 5th.
[23:18] ---
    Things may get a little aggressive,
    so please lay the groundwork elsewhere.
[23:35] ---
    Come in. Hinawa?
[23:38] ---
    Yeah, I've been bogged down
    getting this off the ground.
[23:41] ---
    I'm on my way to you now.
[23:44] ---
    Huh?
[23:46] ---
    It's over?
[23:47] ---
    
[23:49] ---
