[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...
[00:17] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:28] ---
    What is that pillar of ice?
[00:32] ---
    What exactly is happening?
[00:36] ---
    It's scary!
[00:39] ---
    You're the first person to ever
    deal any damage to me.
[00:43] ---
    I'm gonna lay another one on you!
[00:55] ---
    Charon,
[00:56] ---
    it's time.
[00:57] ---
    The fires are out and the Fire Force
    can move around freely now.
[01:01] ---
    Just bring the Fifth Pillar with you.
[01:10] ---
    We're withdrawing.
[01:11] ---
    See you later! Adieu, Plasma Boy!
[01:14] ---
    Hold it!
[01:20] ---
    She used magnetism to
    brake her descent on the way down?
[01:25] ---
    Hold it!
[01:27] ---
    The Special Fire Force is taking
    that girl into protective custody!
[01:29] ---
    Your name is Inca, right? If you use
    your power, you can slip out of those!
[01:34] ---
    Come over to me!
[03:07] ---
    "Episode 6:
    The Time to Choose"
[03:12] ---
    I've already figured out your tactic
    in going after my counters.
[03:16] ---
    I won't fall for that trick again.
[03:18] ---
    What are you planning to do
    in your situation now?
[03:23] ---
    He's right. Now that he
    knows how I'm attacking,
[03:26] ---
    if I just charge in at him blindly,
    I'll be playing right into his hands.
[03:30] ---
    I have to take Inca and
    get her out of here somehow.
[03:33] ---
    Charon-sama, Haumea-sama's
    brainwaves toward us
[03:36] ---
    telling us to get going
    aren't letting up. Let's go!
[03:39] ---
    Inca! What are you waiting
    for! Come over here!
[03:43] ---
    Use your power to get loose!
[03:48] ---
    With a wave of my finger, I can make flames.
[03:51] ---
    By tracing those lines,
    I could even cause explosions.
[03:55] ---
    But right now, I don't see any.
[03:58] ---
    Which means that right now,
    I won't be producing any flames.
[04:04] ---
    I'm sure my ability must
    let me see visions of the future.
[04:11] ---
    It feels really weird
    deciding what to do now,
[04:14] ---
    when I already know the future outcome,
    but I'm sure I don't see anything.
[04:20] ---
    Which means that I'm going to go with
    these iffy guys without any resistance.
[04:28] ---
    My brother was also
    kidnapped by these people,
[04:30] ---
    and had his life turned upside down!
[04:32] ---
    You're not with them, Inca!
[04:34] ---
    That won't help. Persuade all you want,
    but I can see how I'll end up.
[04:39] ---
    I'll be revealed to be the Fireground Thief,
    and lose my freedom, right?
[04:44] ---
    I'm going to be apprehended
    by either one or the other.
[04:51] ---
    I get it. If I take your hand,
[04:54] ---
    there are crimes that I'm
    going to have to answer for,
[04:57] ---
    but I'll still have a life
    of safety waiting for me.
[05:06] ---
    On the other hand, if I go
    with these guys, my future will be...
[05:16] ---
    Take me away.
[05:17] ---
    Hey!
[05:18] ---
    ♪ Danger, danger. ♪
[05:20] ---
    Going with them seems like
    the more dangerous play.
[05:23] ---
    You gotta be kidding me!
    Take a look at this town!
[05:27] ---
    This is what those White-Clad
    did so they could catch you!
[05:32] ---
    There are people who wanted to
    live longer, but couldn't be saved!
[05:36] ---
    And yet you're voluntarily
    letting it go to waste!
[05:41] ---
    What do you take your life for?!
[05:42] ---
    You think I care about that?!
[05:45] ---
    Doesn't matter to me
    what happens to anyone else!
[05:47] ---
    It's my life! It doesn't
    belong to anyone else!
[05:49] ---
    Don't you compare it to the
    worthless lives of those around me!
[05:52] ---
    It's my life! I don't consider this a waste!
[05:55] ---
    How is it a waste?! This is why I enjoy
    the thrill of exposing myself to danger!
[05:59] ---
    To feel the joy of life
    out of the fear of losing it!
[06:10] ---
    I don't care how much
    other human debris might croak,
[06:13] ---
    I am going to preserve my own life.
[06:16] ---
    It's just like you say,
    Mr. Fire Soldier. Life is precious.
[06:33] ---
    Let's go, Charon.
    Show me a good time, all right?
[06:41] ---
    You're taking me too damn lightly.
[06:46] ---
    Wait right there!
[06:47] ---
    I am going to kill you!
[06:53] ---
    That's far better than having you
    protect me, or take me into custody.
[06:57] ---
    In that case, by all means, come for me.
[07:00] ---
    I'll be waiting for you.
[07:02] ---
    Wait...
[07:11] ---
    Is that what Inca would rather do?
[07:15] ---
    Does Sho prefer staying
    with the White-Clad, too?
[07:22] ---
    No, that can't be true!
[07:31] ---
    Took you long enough.
[07:34] ---
    So you're the Fifth Pillar, Inca Kasugatani?
[07:39] ---
    Who is this?
[07:41] ---
    Yikes. Looks like I could
    short out just by touching her.
[07:45] ---
    We're getting out of here, now.
[07:51] ---
    Hold it!
[07:57] ---
    Panda!
[07:59] ---
    How dare you kill my bro!
    You let Boss Inca go!
[08:03] ---
    Boss Inca, hurry and come back over here!
[08:06] ---
    Charon...
[08:07] ---
    Yeah, I'm on it.
[08:16] ---
    I can see it, so I have no choice.
[08:19] ---
    This isn't my decision.
[08:23] ---
    It's just how... "fate" would have it.
[08:28] ---
    Not me.
[08:55] ---
    Inca! Inca!
[09:04] ---
    Come on,
[09:05] ---
    let's get going.
[09:27] ---
    Did we... make it?
[09:30] ---
    It looks like the White-Clad
    people have retreated.
[09:36] ---
    Yeah, and just like that,
    the fires are under control, too.
[09:44] ---
    Stop!
[09:46] ---
    All right, just set her down right there.
[09:50] ---
    Are you all right, Shinra?
[09:52] ---
    Yes, sir.
[09:54] ---
    But the Fifth Pillar has been
    taken away by the Evangelist's men.
[09:58] ---
    I am terribly sorry.
[10:01] ---
    Haumea said that there were
    eight people who possessed Adolla Bursts.
[10:08] ---
    Eight Pillars... plus the Evangelist.
[10:13] ---
    We don't know a thing.
[10:16] ---
    We have too little information, and we
    don't know what their whole objective is.
[10:22] ---
    As long as we're in the dark,
[10:23] ---
    we'll always be behind the curve,
    just like we always have been.
[10:27] ---
    I'd like to investigate more,
    to find out exactly what they're after.
[10:32] ---
    You're right. We need to find
    some clues about Adolla Bursts.
[10:37] ---
    It's becoming clear what we need to do.
[10:39] ---
    Also, Arthur and Shinra,
    you both did a good job out there today.
[10:46] ---
    Good, doesn't look like
    there are any problems.
[10:49] ---
    Guys! We're ready! Hop on in!
[10:53] ---
    Yeah, all right!
[10:59] ---
    Thank you!
[11:02] ---
    --Thank you!
    --Thank you very much!
[11:04] ---
    --Thanks for your hard work!
    --We're all safe now, thanks to you!
[11:06] ---
    Thank you so much!
[11:08] ---
    --Thank you!
    --You saved us!
[11:13] ---
    Captain Hague from the 4th said that
    he thought he'd saved so many people,
[11:20] ---
    but in fact, there were so many lives
    that he couldn't save.
[11:27] ---
    And I was so pleased, too,
[11:30] ---
    the first time I heard their praise...
[11:40] ---
    Even if there had been no Evangelist,
[11:43] ---
    could I have saved Inca, in any real sense?
[11:56] ---
    "Special Fire Station 4"
[12:00] ---
    Reporting in, sir. The casualties
    from yesterday's fire...
[12:03] ---
    ...were 19 dead, 58 injured.
[12:07] ---
    We counted 134 buildings lost to the fire.
[12:10] ---
    Also, the number of Infernals
    that were put to rest came to 39.
[12:18] ---
    I'm glad the casualties were
    kept as low as they were,
[12:20] ---
    compared to the Great Fire two years ago.
[12:24] ---
    Still, it pains me that the 4th's assistance
    came as slow as it did.
[12:32] ---
    "Special Fire Grand Cathedral 1"
[12:33] ---
    I understand that the 8th is
    already taking anti-Evangelist action.
[12:38] ---
    That sounds like Obi, all right.
[12:40] ---
    Unlike the 1st, with our Holy Sol Temple
    discipline tying our hands,
[12:44] ---
    they don't seem to have
    any hardheaded cardinals over there.
[12:49] ---
    I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
[12:55] ---
    Is the 1st going to work with them?
[12:58] ---
    Karim appears to have been
    sneaking over to the 8th already,
[13:01] ---
    and Tamaki is there, too,
    under the pretext of being suspended.
[13:04] ---
    I don't think we can do any more.
[13:08] ---
    Were all of the fires the other day
    started by artificial means?
[13:13] ---
    Yeah. The same group responsible
    for your arm and Rekka.
[13:20] ---
    I didn't get to pay them back for that.
[13:24] ---
    My right arm is like a trial
    bestowed upon me by God.
[13:28] ---
    So don't get too worked up.
    Even without my right arm,
[13:32] ---
    I don't have any trouble doing things,
    except for tenting my hands.
[13:36] ---
    Besides...
[13:38] ---
    Return to the great flame of fire.
[13:40] ---
    --Látom.
    --Látom.
[13:42] ---
    ...you're here to help me with that.
[13:44] ---
    Don't make me do that!
[13:45] ---
    I already feel responsible!
[13:47] ---
    "Special Fire Base 2"
[13:47] ---
    Oh! It's burning! It's burning!
[13:50] ---
    Captain Honda, are you saying that
    arrangements for the imperial garrison
[13:54] ---
    are being provided by the 2nd?
[13:56] ---
    It will make things easier for
    the 2nd to make the arrangements,
[13:59] ---
    given our close ties with the military.
[14:01] ---
    "Takeru"
[14:01] ---
    Besides, we have a rookie here
    who's from the peninsula.
[14:05] ---
    Have him help them out.
[14:27] ---
    Whoo, I haven't performed
    ablutions in a long time.
[14:30] ---
    You're doing well.
[14:31] ---
    Oh, no, you are.
[14:33] ---
    You're the only sister here at the 8th, Iris.
[14:37] ---
    There's no telling when you'll
    need another sister again,
[14:40] ---
    so I need to keep myself pure at all times,
    so I can be of help to the 8th.
[14:46] ---
    Nya!
[14:49] ---
    Whoa, I can see right through that.
[14:52] ---
    Nya! Screw you!
[14:56] ---
    Látom.
[14:57] ---
    Not at all.
[15:00] ---
    So you're going?
[15:02] ---
    Mm-hmm. I'm going to go
    see it with my own eyes.
[15:05] ---
    But wow, am I ever busy. I'm at a loss
    as to what I should take with me.
[15:12] ---
    I'd like to go with you,
    but the checkpoints are pretty strict.
[15:17] ---
    You should have become a Fire Soldier, Joker.
[15:25] ---
    Not a bad idea.
[15:28] ---
    I worked with Captain Hibana of the 5th,
    and we made an educated guess.
[15:32] ---
    I'm actually going to go there
    and see for myself.
[15:38] ---
    I turned over my data.
[15:41] ---
    I do hope they find some
    lead on Adolla Bursts,
[15:45] ---
    but as a scientist,
    I'd like to go along with them.
[15:48] ---
    I hate that in my position
    as captain, I can't do so.
[15:55] ---
    We're going to be carrying out
    a joint operation with the other companies.
[16:01] ---
    The 8th will be sending four of its crewmen.
[16:04] ---
    That will be you four.
[16:06] ---
    A joint operation? What are we doing?
[16:09] ---
    I need you to conduct an investigation
    into the Evangelist and Adolla Bursts.
[16:13] ---
    The White-Clad are gathering
    what they call the Eight Pillars,
[16:16] ---
    who each carry an Adolla Burst.
[16:19] ---
    There are those, like Shinra and his brother,
    who are already known,
[16:26] ---
    but, like Inca the other day,
[16:28] ---
    it is also conceivable that
    new ones will come about.
[16:31] ---
    Currently, we have identified four
    of them--Shinra, Sho, Inca, and Haumea.
[16:38] ---
    The purpose for the Evangelist's people
[16:40] ---
    to gather the Eight Pillars
    and their Adolla Bursts...
[16:44] ---
    ...is to once again trigger the
    Great Cataclysm from 250 years ago.
[17:00] ---
    It was a disaster whose effects were so great,
    they ended up redrawing the world's maps.
[17:05] ---
    I don't know why they want
    to have that happen again,
[17:08] ---
    but we have to prevent it, whatever it takes.
[17:11] ---
    There's too much we don't know
    about what happened
[17:14] ---
    during the Great Cataclysm of the past.
[17:16] ---
    The way things stand,
    we are always a step behind
[17:19] ---
    when it comes to safeguarding
    Adolla-Burst-bearing Pillars.
[17:21] ---
    Which is why we are forming a research team
[17:23] ---
    and investigating the
    Great Cataclysm of the past.
[17:27] ---
    Incidentally, I've already narrowed down
    the point we're investigating.
[17:32] ---
    Where are we going, sir?
[17:34] ---
    To a place of yet-unknown terrain,
    and an unknown ecology.
[17:39] ---
    A place that's seriously unknown.
[17:45] ---
    That place is the Chinese Peninsula!
[17:48] ---
    Outside the Tokyo Empire.
[17:50] ---
    "Operation Chinese Landing"
[17:57] ---
    The sea!
[18:01] ---
    We're about to leave Tokyo!
    I wonder what the outside world is like.
[18:18] ---
    We're going to go aboard that
    and cross the ocean!
[18:21] ---
    Kusakabe! Fall in!
[18:24] ---
    Sorry, sorry!
[18:28] ---
    Is everyone here? I'm taking roll call.

    The seven of us will be
    carrying out this mission.
[18:42] ---
    As you know, the purpose
    of this investigation
[18:44] ---
    is to find clues about
    the Evangelist and Adolla Bursts.
[18:49] ---
    And then, when we do,
    we, the Special Fire Force, will...
[18:56] ---
    No, you have to say
    the important part out loud, sir.
[19:00] ---
    All right, take care.
[19:02] ---
    Most of them are former students of mine
    from the Training Academy,
[19:06] ---
    so there won't be any problems.
[19:10] ---
    Crewman Kotatsu...
[19:12] ---
    Juggernaut, your family lives
    on the Chinese Peninsula, right?
[19:16] ---
    Mm-hmm. I come from
    one of the potato farms there.
[19:20] ---
    That's why I was assigned to be the guide.
[19:23] ---
    But I've never been to the area
    where our destination is,
[19:27] ---
    so honestly, I'm not too sure about this.
[19:29] ---
    You'll do fine. We're counting on you.
[19:34] ---
    So this is what it's like inside.
[19:37] ---
    Huh? These are our potatoes!
[19:38] ---
    "Noto Farms Potatoes"
[19:40] ---
    You can grow potatoes even in a wasteland?
[19:44] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's right.
[19:46] ---
    Potatoes are plants than can produce
    a high yield even in harsh soil.
[19:50] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[19:51] ---
    The green skin and buds have solanine
    and chaconine, which are poisonous,
[19:55] ---
    so you need to watch out for those,
[19:57] ---
    but they're rich in nutrients
    and vitamin C, your B-complexes,
[19:59] ---
    --Peek...
    --potassium and dietary fiber,
    so they're very healthy!
[20:03] ---
    You don't say...
[20:04] ---
    You can get about 15 grams of the starch
    that potato starch is made from
[20:07] ---
    out of around 100 grams of potatoes.
[20:09] ---
    If you're counting calories,
    it's only 76 of those.
[20:11] ---
    You can burn that off
    with 30 minutes of walking.
[20:13] ---
    Also, the potato plant's
    flowers are really pretty.
[20:16] ---
    --They can be white, or light purple,
    --Sneak, sneak, sneak...
[20:18] ---
    --and just looking at them can
    make you really happy, you know?
    --Sneak, sneak, sneak...
[20:20] ---
    Sure can.
[20:21] ---
    Oh, and another thing,
    did you know that potatoes are actually--
[20:24] ---
    You startled me!
[20:26] ---
    What are you doing down here?
    We're about to shove off.
[20:29] ---
    They said we were free to use
    the ship's cabins until we arrive.
[20:32] ---
    Sensei will--I mean, I will go
    pay my respects to the captain.
[20:37] ---
    Go inform the others.
[20:39] ---
    --Roger.
    --Roger.
[20:42] ---
    Do you think we can go up on deck?
[20:44] ---
    It's under Imperial Armed Forces control,
[20:46] ---
    so if we scamper around too much,
    we might make nuisances of ourselves,
[20:51] ---
    but let's head up there once we depart.
[21:09] ---
    Make sure you do what
    Lieutenant Pan tells you to do!
[21:13] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --Yes, sir!
[21:15] ---
    --Here we go!
    --Here we go!
[21:26] ---
    We're about to go outside of Tokyo!
[21:42] ---
    Whoa, awesome! We're surrounded by ocean!
[21:47] ---
    What's that?
[21:49] ---
    An undersea volcano, I'll bet.
[21:51] ---
    An undersea volcano?
[21:55] ---
    It must have been formed in
    the Great Cataclysm 250 years ago.
[22:00] ---
    The Great Cataclysm...
[22:03] ---
    This investigation is going to look into
    what happened in the Great Cataclysm.
