**[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.

**[18:38] ---**
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.

in unknown territory.
