**[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...
**[00:30] ---**
Yes. The evangelism is proceeding smoothly.
**[00:34] ---**
There may be some slight obstacles,
but it will not be a problem.
**[00:38] ---**
Infernalization will move
forward without a hitch.
**[00:43] ---**
Very well then, Evangelist...
**[00:46] ---**
*Látom*.
**[00:56] ---**
The core remains of sample "Infernal A"
**[01:00] ---**
showed different characteristics
compared to those of "Infernal B."
**[01:04] ---**
After analyzing them, soot and DNA
from a creature other than the victim
**[01:07] ---**
were identified in the core.
**[01:09] ---**
You concluded that it was insect genetic data.
**[01:15] ---**
Those are conclusive experimental results,
arrived at through my research.
**[01:20] ---**
I've investigated many Infernals,
**[01:22] ---**
and the samples that I believe
were artificially created
**[01:25] ---**
all had the same thing in common.
**[01:27] ---**
All of the samples had traces
of some kind of creature
**[01:30] ---**
entering the core from the outside.
**[01:35] ---**
Insects.

"Episode 8:
Infernal Insects"
**[01:46] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[01:47] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to walking are weeded out*
**[01:51] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[01:54] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[01:56] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[01:58] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed to walking?*
**[02:01] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*
**[02:04] ---**
*but we're enveloped in warmth*
**[02:07] ---**
*Flames rise to show us the way*
**[02:11] ---**
*reminding us of a gentle melody*
**[02:18] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[02:24] ---**
*I just smile, thinking that's fine with me*
**[02:29] ---**
*If we shine, someday, our light will go out*
**[02:33] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[02:39] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[02:44] ---**
*Playthings that make sounds*
**[02:47] ---**
*and magic that chases pain away*
**[02:50] ---**
*are all precious treasures to me*
**[02:55] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[02:59] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[03:05] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[03:20] ---**
It's been five days since we joined the 1st.
**[03:25] ---**
Our investigation is to last a month.
**[03:28] ---**
We have to find leads on artificial
Infernals within that month.
**[03:35] ---**
Whoa, Lieutenant, what are you doing?
**[03:38] ---**
Are you all right? Any problems?
Is Arthur doing all right?
**[03:43] ---**
I told you, we're fine, sir!
Please don't come by every morning.
**[03:50] ---**
My, if it isn't the lieutenant from the 8th.
**[03:53] ---**
Hard at work again today, I see.
**[03:55] ---**
Hello.
**[03:56] ---**
He certainly is concerned
about his men, isn't he?
**[03:59] ---**
He really is.
**[04:00] ---**
Jeez, this is getting
embarrassing! Please leave!
**[04:03] ---**
Hmm? What's come over you all of a sudden?
**[04:06] ---**
You should check in with the captain
more often. He's concerned.
**[04:10] ---**
Yes, all right.
**[04:14] ---**
Shoo! Shoo!
**[04:17] ---**
Yikes, Captain Hibana is here, too.
**[04:22] ---**
They have us, here from other
companies, prowling around,
**[04:25] ---**
and they aren't acting like they're on guard.
**[04:27] ---**
At the 5th, with all of Haijima's trade secrets,
**[04:30] ---**
you'd never see everyone behaving this openly.
**[04:33] ---**
According to my investigation,
artificial Infernals appear primarily
**[04:37] ---**
in security zones,
where only Fire Soldiers can enter,
**[04:39] ---**
and in fire sites that have been closed off.
**[04:42] ---**
Much as it disturbs me,
**[04:44] ---**
chances are high that a
Special Fire Soldier is the culprit.
**[04:49] ---**
But is the culprit here at the 1st...?
**[05:00] ---**
U-Um, why did all of you become Fire Soldiers?
**[05:05] ---**
Why, to be a hero, protecting everyone
from human combustion and Infernals!
**[05:11] ---**
It's only natural that a knight
would fight on behalf of the weak.
**[05:17] ---**
Well, I'm a third generation, and as a
Fire Soldier, I'd be in with the ladies.
**[05:22] ---**
You're all so great.
**[05:25] ---**
I can't really use my pyrokinesis very well.
**[05:28] ---**
Nor do I have any grand
objective like the rest of you.
**[05:31] ---**
Forget about the objective.
**[05:34] ---**
As long as we end up helping
others, that's enough, isn't it?
**[05:37] ---**
Yeah, I guess so. Thanks, Shinra-*kun*.
**[05:43] ---**
How long are you going to sit around eating?!
Time for morning assembly!
**[05:46] ---**
Everyone, hurry back to
your appointed stations and--
**[05:51] ---**
--Sorry. I was reaching for
the mayonnaise, and you...
--What the hell are you doing, sicko?!
**[05:54] ---**
Whoa, hey!
**[05:58] ---**
You jerk! You stay away from me-ow!
**[06:01] ---**
Could you knock off your lucky lechery?
**[06:07] ---**
Is that morning assembly?
**[06:09] ---**
That's the alarm! An Infernal has appeared!
**[06:12] ---**
Juggernaut, report to Lieutenant Hoshimiya!
**[06:14] ---**
Kishiri, Lieutenant Li!
**[06:15] ---**
You two from the 8th, report to Lieutenant Flam!
**[06:35] ---**
There are five victims who Infernalized.
**[06:38] ---**
This appears to be another multiple incident.
**[06:41] ---**
Nozaka Squad, make sure
the civilians are all evacuated.
**[06:43] ---**
Matsuda Squad, you'll gather information
and report it to everyone.
**[06:47] ---**
The rest of us will look for the Infernals.
**[06:50] ---**
Let's put them to rest quickly!
**[06:51] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[06:53] ---**
Awesome. This is one swift,
take-charge company.
**[06:59] ---**
You two from the 8th,
stand by here with Matsuda Squad.
**[07:02] ---**
But we can help, too!
**[07:03] ---**
Our leadership structure would be
thrown off by newcomers.
**[07:07] ---**
Keep on keeping yourselves here.
**[07:32] ---**
Are you all right, sir?
**[07:41] ---**
What happened?
**[07:51] ---**
There they are!
**[07:52] ---**
After them!
**[07:53] ---**
What about the Infernal?
**[07:57] ---**
Right now, we'll just have
to let the 1st handle him.
**[08:04] ---**
You'll pay for this.
**[08:05] ---**
Fire Soldiers are supposed to protect citizens!
**[08:09] ---**
Don't think that you can escape my feet!
**[08:15] ---**
Shinra!
**[08:16] ---**
What are you doing? I thought
I ordered you to stand down.
**[08:24] ---**
What have you been doing back here?
**[08:27] ---**
I will--
**[08:29] ---**
--We don't get to Shinjuku
very much, so we got lost.
--What the hell are you doing...?
**[08:38] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka,
laying to rest has been completed.
**[08:42] ---**
Tamaki, good work.
**[08:49] ---**
All right, we're heading back.
**[08:56] ---**
Hey, why did you stop me?
**[09:10] ---**
Aren't those lieutenants
our artificial Infernal suspects?
**[09:14] ---**
We still don't know who the enemy is,
and who our allies are.
**[09:21] ---**
We could have been eliminated
right there on the spot.
**[09:24] ---**
Then what are you planning to do?
You saw what happened.
**[09:28] ---**
Yeah. I definitely saw it.
**[09:31] ---**
He pressed a bottle containing an
insect against that civilian's back.
**[09:34] ---**
Immediately afterward...
**[09:36] ---**
...they Infernalized.
**[09:38] ---**
This is the worst. How can a
Fire Soldier be creating Infernals?
**[09:42] ---**
The person you saw wearing those robes
**[09:45] ---**
was only one of three lieutenants from the 1st.
**[09:48] ---**
We'll have to start by
investigating Karim and Rekka.
**[09:51] ---**
You sure are enthusiastic.
These guys are formidable foes.
**[09:55] ---**
Of course I am. I don't care
who they are, they have to pay.
**[10:02] ---**
First thing we check is Karim's room.
**[10:04] ---**
He's not there right now?
**[10:06] ---**
I told Juggernaut to come up with
some excuse to keep him occupied.
**[10:10] ---**
Have you told him about our mission?
**[10:12] ---**
No.
**[10:13] ---**
He seems to have taken a liking to Tamaki,
**[10:17] ---**
and when I told him I'd get her number for him,
**[10:19] ---**
he was only too happy to cooperate.
**[10:22] ---**
Never mind him, though,
why are you dressed like that?
**[10:26] ---**
I made a job change, from knight to assassin.
**[10:33] ---**
After carrying on about being
a knight for so long, you just...?
**[10:38] ---**
I'm a knight.
**[10:42] ---**
"Karim Flam" "Out"
**[10:48] ---**
Hey!
**[10:49] ---**
Mini Excalibur. I made it
from a sheet of plastic,
**[10:53] ---**
so it can only be used once.
**[10:56] ---**
You dumbass! This will leave
evidence that someone broke in!
**[10:59] ---**
That doesn't sound like you.
**[11:02] ---**
What, did you lose your nerve
after Burns beat you, you wuss?
**[11:05] ---**
Huh?
**[11:06] ---**
If solving the mystery of human
combustion could be done cleanly,
**[11:10] ---**
it would have been solved a long time ago.
**[11:14] ---**
Hmph, say what you want,
but *you're* not gonna solve it.
**[11:40] ---**
That's it!
**[11:43] ---**
You can make an Infernal with one of these?
**[11:46] ---**
That clinches it. Karim Flam is our culprit.
**[11:54] ---**
I left that insect-like insect there on purpose.
**[11:58] ---**
Your behavior in the back alley was
abnormal, so I thought I'd test you.
**[12:05] ---**
Looks like the 8th is here pursuing
that insect-like insect, too.
**[12:09] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[12:11] ---**
I'm out to get the owner of that insect, too.
**[12:14] ---**
Oh, so you're on our side.
**[12:16] ---**
How can we trust you?
**[12:18] ---**
You saw the culprit, right? The fact that
you narrowed your suspicions on me
**[12:23] ---**
means they were wearing robes like this.
**[12:28] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[12:30] ---**
There was one other man there at
that moment wearing robes like mine.
**[12:36] ---**
Rekka Hoshimiya.
**[12:41] ---**
There was an incident two months ago
**[12:42] ---**
where a group of children collectively
caught fire. It was far too unnatural.
**[12:47] ---**
It was then that I found the insect.
**[12:51] ---**
Children were burned?
**[12:58] ---**
I got a five-star from the *gacha* machine.
**[13:00] ---**
Oh, yeah! No fair!
**[13:02] ---**
Hey, you two...
**[13:05] ---**
Fires sure are scary, huh?
**[13:07] ---**
You heard about that incident where
children your age burned up, right?
**[13:12] ---**
There's a way to make sure
the flames don't get you.
**[13:17] ---**
Why don't you come with me?
**[13:36] ---**
What are you doing?
**[13:50] ---**
"No trespassing"
**[13:54] ---**
Okay, let's go!
**[13:58] ---**
Tamaki, thanks for rounding them up.
**[14:01] ---**
I finally found a sacred prayer
to protect against Infernalization.
**[14:06] ---**
If we can save the children from
the flame threat, I can die happy!
**[14:11] ---**
Lieutenant...
**[14:14] ---**
I want to save even more,
but I'm much too wretched! Curses!
**[14:19] ---**
Um, Father, will they really
not become Infernals?
**[14:25] ---**
Yes! But you haven't told anyone,
because we don't want squabbling, right?
**[14:29] ---**
Yu-*kun* at my cram school burned up.
I don't want that to happen.
**[14:33] ---**
If I do what you say,
I won't ever burn up, right?
**[14:36] ---**
Of course you won't.
**[14:39] ---**
Everyone, now that I'm here,
everything will be all right.
**[14:43] ---**
You'll be mighty people,
who can't be beaten by flames!
**[14:49] ---**
Tamaki, would you mind stepping outside?
I'd like to focus on the prayer.
**[14:54] ---**
Huh?
**[14:56] ---**
Thanks for all the help you've been.
**[14:58] ---**
I'd like to see the prayer, too, sir.
**[15:01] ---**
I would do anything for you, Lieutenant Rekka.
**[15:05] ---**
My stars!
**[15:08] ---**
Thank you, Tamaki!
**[15:10] ---**
You're really making too much of it, sir...
**[15:13] ---**
Tamaki! I'm so grateful!
**[15:19] ---**
All righty!
**[15:26] ---**
Now...
**[15:27] ---**
...to find someone suitable for the
pilot light. You all have been chosen.
**[15:32] ---**
W-We've changed our minds!
**[15:36] ---**
We can't have that. You would
destroy your own child's future?
**[15:40] ---**
What a poor mother you are.
**[15:46] ---**
Mom...
**[15:53] ---**
Return to the great flame of fire.
**[16:04] ---**
You're going to go look for Rekka,
right? We're coming with you.
**[16:09] ---**
This is the 1st's problem.
You two keep out of it.
**[16:13] ---**
We are currently assigned to Karim Squad, sir.
**[16:16] ---**
Then your squad's lieutenant is
ordering you to stay out of this.
**[16:20] ---**
We have no intention of following that order.
We're not even formal members.
**[16:30] ---**
Hmph, so you're like men who are
my men, but aren't my men, then?
**[16:35] ---**
How freeing for you.
**[16:38] ---**
Feel free to feel free, then.
**[16:45] ---**
Well, *that* didn't work. I just wish there
was someone here who was suitable.
**[16:51] ---**
Stop crying! You won't ever get strong that way!
**[16:55] ---**
You can't be afraid of the flames!
You want to get stronger!
**[16:59] ---**
Right? Isn't that what you want?
**[17:06] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka, what on earth...?
**[17:10] ---**
I was going to let you live to take the blame,
**[17:12] ---**
so I must not have squeezed hard enough.
**[17:14] ---**
Huh? What do you mean, sir?
**[17:17] ---**
You are the only one who can accept
my passion and fervor, Tamaki!
**[17:23] ---**
This isn't happening, right?
**[17:25] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka, are you the one
who has been creating Infernals?
**[17:30] ---**
I respected you so much, sir!
**[17:35] ---**
You respect me, don't you?
**[17:37] ---**
Or do you let your feelings
change as easily as that?!
**[17:44] ---**
I'm not giving up! No matter how many
innocent children must be sacrificed,
**[17:49] ---**
I won't give up! Not ever!
**[17:52] ---**
I will create Infernals for the Evangelist,
**[17:55] ---**
until the day when I find someone
suitable for the pilot light!
**[18:02] ---**
You were a hot-blooded guy who was awkward
**[18:04] ---**
but never let it get you down.
I always found that to be cool about you.
**[18:11] ---**
But you were just a hot-blooded
son of a bitch, weren't you?!
**[18:16] ---**
My stars!
**[18:21] ---**
Lie there and be quiet.
**[18:27] ---**
Now, for the pilot light...
**[18:30] ---**
--No! Stop! No!
**[18:32] ---**
--Tak-*kun*!
--No! Stop! No!
**[18:33] ---**
Here you go, Tak-*kun*. It's all right.
**[18:38] ---**
Tak-*kun*!
**[18:39] ---**
Tak-*kun*!
**[18:54] ---**
Must be my imagination...
**[18:58] ---**
Hang in there! I know you can accept the flames!
**[19:03] ---**
Stop...!
**[19:04] ---**
Hang in there, Tak-*kun*! Fight!
**[19:07] ---**
Fight, Tak-*kun*!
**[19:21] ---**
He isn't becoming an Infernal?
**[19:28] ---**
He's compatible.
**[19:30] ---**
I did it! I finally found someone
compatible for the pilot light!
**[19:35] ---**
There are still four of you children left.
**[19:37] ---**
You haven't been spared yet,
**[19:39] ---**
so take on the pilot light and
earn victory for tomorrow!
**[19:45] ---**
Charge it up, charge it up, fight!
Don't let it beat you! Fire!
**[19:52] ---**
Please... stop, already...
Somebody... I'm begging you...
**[20:01] ---**
Somebody help!
**[20:10] ---**
What are you doing, Tamaki?
**[20:15] ---**
I thought you were an outstanding,
obedient subordinate!
**[20:23] ---**
What are you doing, Tamaki?!
**[20:26] ---**
There are children watching!
You shouldn't be like this!
**[20:30] ---**
The children are trying so hard!
**[20:34] ---**
You were supposed to
take the fall for this crime!
**[20:37] ---**
What's become of you, Tamaki?!
**[20:39] ---**
I used to like you.
**[20:40] ---**
I figured you were the only one who could do it!
**[20:45] ---**
I'm going to have to
change the plan and kill you.
**[20:48] ---**
The hot-blooded, gentle lieutenant...
**[20:50] ---**
I'll make it look like you
burned yourself to death!
**[20:55] ---**
Curses! I had faith that you could
do this! This is hard on me, too!
**[21:04] ---**
My fist is weeping over this!
**[21:07] ---**
I will stand by and see your end through!
**[21:11] ---**
You're going to die in my place, Tamaki!
**[21:15] ---**
--Stop, Lieutenant Rekka...
**[21:16] ---**
--I looked up to you.
--Stop, Lieutenant Rekka...
**[21:20] ---**
Help me...
**[21:54] ---**
Are you okay, Tamaki?
**[22:18] ---**
"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*
