[00:13] ---
    A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
    and a sound body.
[00:23] ---
    Inside the stormy magnetic
    field for 800 years,
[00:25] ---
    Eibon's greatest masterpiece,
    the Brew, ceased to work and became junk.
[00:31] ---
    As such, we cannot afford to sit idly by.
[00:35] ---
    Luckily for us, DWMA
    believes that we have the Brew.
[00:42] ---
    I believe we should make our next move
[00:45] ---
    while they're convinced
    they can't act rashly.
[00:48] ---
    Don't you, Mosquito?
[00:51] ---
    Yes. I agree completely.
[00:54] ---
    How has research development
    of the Moral Manipulator progressed
[00:57] ---
    since the incident?
[00:59] ---
    Research has entered the final stage.
[01:04] ---
    Then the completion of the
    Madness Amplifier isn't far off?
[01:09] ---
    Correct.
[01:11] ---
    You don't need to rely
    on somethin' like that!
[01:16] ---
    I'll destroy that pathetic DWMA for ya!
[01:20] ---
    As I recall, you provided less-than-stellar
    results during this previous battle.
[01:24] ---
    Someone who ran straight back
    home after getting his ass kicked
[01:27] ---
    is in no position to criticize me.
[01:29] ---
    My duties have been different
    from yours from the very start, though.
[01:34] ---
    What's your point?
[01:36] ---
    Watch what you say.
    Unless you want to get hurt.
[01:43] ---
    I'd like to see you try it, geezer.
[01:52] ---
    Enough.
[01:56] ---
    Mosquito. Continue your report.
[02:00] ---
    Yes.
[02:01] ---
    Relay bases are currently being
    established and streamlined in parallel
[02:06] ---
    for the purpose of
    communicating with every region.
[02:10] ---
    I see. In that case...
[02:19] ---
    Go, my adorable children...
[02:26] ---
    This is the first step
    toward Arachnophobia's glory.
[02:48] ---
    I'm Falling
[02:49] ---
    Down Into My Shadow
[02:52] ---
    I'm holding my breath
[02:56] ---
    and waiting Deadly Night
[02:59] ---
    Don't Scary
[03:01] ---
    If you want it
[03:04] ---
    you can see for yourself
[03:08] ---
    any world at all
[03:12] ---
    See you in your dreams Yeah Baby
[03:17] ---
    even if they're bad dreams
[03:23] ---
    Fairy Blue for you
[03:27] ---
    I destroyed the stars
[03:30] ---
    and hung up a
[03:33] ---
    Black Paper Moon
[03:35] ---
    if you believe in me!
[03:39] ---
    When You're
[03:40] ---
    Lost "Here" I am...
[03:43] ---
    "Forever" With Your Soul
[03:47] ---
    If you look up I'll be there shining
[03:50] ---
    like the moon
[04:06] ---
    Who should attack just then
    but an elite Arachnophobia squad!
[04:12] ---
    In the classroom I'm a
    bookworm, but outside I'm a beast!
[04:18] ---
    In the end, all we did was beat
    up an over-the-hill punching bag.

[04:25] ---
    The Brew's in their hands now.
    Nothing will change that fact.

[04:35] ---
    At that time...
[04:40] ---
    Is that... an Anti-Magic Wavelength?!
[04:44] ---
    What Mosquito said...
[04:47] ---
    And that shine different
    from anything before...

[04:51] ---
    Do they have something to do
    with being able to pull off that move?
[05:07] ---
    After putting up with all that cold,
    we didn't gain anything in the end...

[05:15] ---
    Maybe I'll ask Lord Death...
[05:24] ---
    You're all so gloomy!
[05:26] ---
    Yeah. Arachnophobia took
    off with the Brew, after all.
[05:33] ---
    Why does that make you gloomy?
[05:36] ---
    Do some thinking on your own, will ya?
[05:39] ---
    Okay.
[05:43] ---
    Hey. Come to think of it, where's Kid?
[05:46] ---
    Yeah, he said he was going to
    the bathroom but hasn't come back...
[05:51] ---
    Where did he go?
[05:58] ---
    "The Great Detective's First Case...
    Kid Exposes DWMA's Secret?"

[06:09] ---
    Just what is DWMA... no, Father... up to?
[06:16] ---
    His obsession with Eibon's Magic Tools
[06:19] ---
    and sending DWMA personnel into
    battle without explaining their purpose...

[06:26] ---
    Officially, he says it's to prevent
    them from being used for evil purposes,

[06:32] ---
    but it's hard to believe
    that's the sole reason.

[06:37] ---
    Just who is Eibon? What is
    his connection to my father?

[06:42] ---
    If I ask him, he'll only
    change the subject nonchalantly.

[06:52] ---
    In which case...
[06:54] ---
    I'll take action myself!
[07:15] ---
    As I said, Kid harbors a sense
    of distrust for you, Lord Death!
[07:24] ---
    He appears to be investigating
    on his own. What should we do?
[07:28] ---
    Hmm...
[07:31] ---
    One idea is...
[07:33] ---
    Is?
[07:38] ---
    But then there's...
[07:40] ---
    There's what?
[07:42] ---
    Nope, it stays a secret.
[07:45] ---
    Why?!
[07:47] ---
    What a pickle, though...
[07:49] ---
    Can't you just tell him?
    Huh?
[07:52] ---
    To be honest, I wish you'd tell me too.
[07:55] ---
    What exactly are you up to, gathering
    Eibon's Magic Tools one after the other?
[08:01] ---
    Do you want me to tell you?
[08:03] ---
    Absolutely.
[08:05] ---
    Do you want to hear why?
[08:07] ---
    I'm telling you that I do!
[08:11] ---
    Too bad. I'm not telling you.
[08:14] ---
    What are you, a kid?!
[08:19] ---
    Hello, hello, Lord Death?
[08:20] ---
    Heya, hiya! How are ya, Maka?
[08:25] ---
    Umm, there's something I'd like
    to know, Lord Death. Do you mind?
[08:30] ---
    But of course! I'll tell
    you anything you want!
[08:35] ---
    Why does she get special treatment?!
[08:39] ---
    Anti-Magic Wavelength?
[08:41] ---
    Yes. That's what Mosquito said.
[08:45] ---
    Does my using the Genie Hunter have something
    to do with Anti-Magic Wavelengths?
[08:51] ---
    Oh! So you're able to use the
    Genie Hunter now! That's incredible!
[08:58] ---
    Yes, for the most part, anyway...
[09:00] ---
    That's Maka for you!
    You're just like your mother!
[09:05] ---
    Huh?
[09:06] ---
    The Anti-Magic Wavelength is a
    special power your mother possesses.
[09:13] ---
    My mom does?!
[09:15] ---
    Yes.
[09:16] ---
    Just as it implies, it's a special wavelength
    that specializes in driving away evil.
[09:23] ---
    There was no one more skilled
    with that power than your mother!
[09:29] ---
    But I never imagined you'd be
    able to use the Genie Hunter too!
[09:34] ---
    That's amazing!
[09:36] ---
    Who knows, maybe at this rate
[09:37] ---
    you'll even beat the Kishin
    for us or something!
[09:41] ---
    Oh, you're too much!
[09:43] ---
    In life, I was good at
    supporting people too.

[09:48] ---
    Anyway, I'm sure it's somewhat
    overwhelming, but keep up the good work!
[09:55] ---
    Right!
[09:56] ---
    Bye!
[10:04] ---
    Mom's power!
[10:09] ---
    I never imagined Maka would
    develop her abilities this quickly.
[10:13] ---
    It's possible that she really could
    hold the key to vanquishing the Kishin.
[10:21] ---
    Oh, yes. Sid.
    Yes?
[10:23] ---
    Yes?
[10:23] ---
    Have you made arrangements
    for you-know-what?
[10:27] ---
    By which you mean...?
[10:28] ---
    Don't be silly! I told you to call
    you-know-who in the Oceania branch!
[10:34] ---
    Oh, you mean that?
[10:36] ---
    Don't worry, I've already
    made the arrangements.
[10:39] ---
    Is that so? That's good.
[10:43] ---
    Ignoring all danger,
    we thrust ourselves into the field!
[10:46] ---
    Just then, there was a great
    explosion! It was truly a great spectacle!
[10:52] ---
    Hey! What's with the cocky attitude?!
[10:55] ---
    Huh?
    I'm tellin' you to shut up!
[10:58] ---
    Okay...
[11:02] ---
    Th-The battle on Lost Island
    must've been amazing...
[11:05] ---
    Yeah. There were big
    fights all over the island...
[11:10] ---
    Still, I don't know how he
    can be so excited about it...
[11:15] ---
    In the end, Arachnophobia stole the Brew.
[11:19] ---
    We lost.
[11:24] ---
    But your piano-playing was amazing!
[11:27] ---
    Without it, who knows where we'd be now!
[11:30] ---
    Th-That's true! Everyone
    made it back safe and sound!
[11:34] ---
    I think that's the most
    important thing of all.
[11:40] ---
    Safe and sound...
[11:42] ---
    I wonder how Dr. Stein is doing now...
[11:45] ---
    D-Dr. Stein?
[11:48] ---
    Yeah...
[11:50] ---
    It was really bad. He suddenly
    collapsed while on the island.
[11:55] ---
    Looks like he's taking the day off.
[11:57] ---
    I hope nothing's wrong with him.
[12:00] ---
    I think it might be m-my fault...
[12:04] ---
    If I hadn't done that, Dr.
    Stein would be...

[12:12] ---
    What's wrong, Crona?
[12:17] ---
    Oh, no, it's n-nothing... Nothing at all...
[12:24] ---
    Weirdo...
[12:27] ---
    Hey, Crona.
[12:29] ---
    You should eat your food.
[12:33] ---
    Yeah...
[12:35] ---
    What should I do?
[12:48] ---
    What do you want?
    Just come!
[12:51] ---
    Huh? Where are we going?
[12:53] ---
    There!
[12:54] ---
    I don't know where "there" is!
[12:56] ---
    I want to get the feel
    for it before I forget.
[13:00] ---
    The feel for what?
[13:01] ---
    He said that power might wind
    up being what defeats the Kishin!
[13:05] ---
    Huh?
    So we're doing special training!
[13:07] ---
    Huh?!
[13:17] ---
    Not that one... It's not that one...
[13:21] ---
    I told you it's not that one!
[13:24] ---
    Yes, that's it...
[13:27] ---
    Are you okay, Dr. Stein?
[13:30] ---
    Okay? Of course I'm okay...
[13:35] ---
    Though no one believes
    me when I say that...
[13:42] ---
    I need to ask you something.
[13:46] ---
    What exactly is the Brew?
[13:50] ---
    The Brew is one of the Magic Tools.
[13:53] ---
    Of all the Magic Tools, it is
    regarded as Eibon's greatest masterpiece.
[14:00] ---
    As the term implies, Magic
    Tools are items infused with magic
[14:05] ---
    with applications that vary
    greatly depending on who uses them.
[14:09] ---
    I'm not asking for such
    superficial answers!
[14:14] ---
    That one?
[14:16] ---
    What was my father
    attempting to use it for?
[14:20] ---
    If you don't know what the Brew does,
    then at least give me your guess.
[14:25] ---
    I want to hear your opinion.
[14:32] ---
    Why does it matter to you?
[14:34] ---
    You seem to have
    expectations for something,
[14:37] ---
    but nothing I say will live up to them.
[14:41] ---
    Could you really accept anything
    I say in this condition anyway?
[14:47] ---
    That's not...
[14:48] ---
    Throwing you the words
    you seek would be easy.
[14:51] ---
    But what do you intend
    to do after you hear them?
[14:59] ---
    Special training ain't cool.
[15:02] ---
    Leave that to the main
    characters in boys comics.
[15:05] ---
    Just come on and turn into a scythe!
[15:09] ---
    Soul!
[15:13] ---
    All right, all right. Fine.
[15:22] ---
    Ready?
[15:23] ---
    You're the boss.
[15:29] ---
    Soul Resonance!
[15:39] ---
    Genie Hunter!
[15:41] ---
    Huh?
[15:43] ---
    Why is it the Witch Hunter?!
[15:46] ---
    Why isn't it the Genie Hunter?!
[15:59] ---
    Hold on, Soul! Are you holding back on me?
[16:03] ---
    Don't be stupid! We couldn't do the
    Witch Hunter if I were holding back!
[16:07] ---
    Oh, right.
[16:09] ---
    Then why...?
[16:10] ---
    Maybe it just goes to
    show it's not that easy.
[16:15] ---
    What's with the dumb look, Maka?
[16:20] ---
    That's the whole point of
    this special training.
[16:23] ---
    Yeah.
[16:25] ---
    All right! Let's go all out!
[16:28] ---
    Let's do it!
[16:38] ---
    I see. Arachne did?
[16:41] ---
    Yeah. It seems she's dispatched
    new spiders throughout the world.
[16:46] ---
    It sounds like she's
    planning something big.
[16:49] ---
    Security is very tight, too.
[16:51] ---
    Well done. Let me know
    of any new developments.
[16:57] ---
    You can count on me.
[17:04] ---
    The world has begun to take action...
[17:07] ---
    So, anything new?
[17:09] ---
    N-No, I don't think so...
[17:13] ---
    Anything about where the
    Magic Tools are being stored?
[17:16] ---
    No, still nothing...
[17:18] ---
    Do your job, will ya?!
    You want to stay at DWMA, don't you?
[17:24] ---
    Umm...
    Ribbit?
[17:27] ---
    About the snake in Ms. Marie...
[17:30] ---
    What about it?
[17:33] ---
    Is it the reason that Dr. Stein is...
[17:37] ---
    Oh, I didn't tell you, did I?
    You get all the credit for that!
[17:42] ---
    Thanks to that snake,
    the Brew was as good as ours.
[17:46] ---
    It let us take those two out of
    the battle without having to fight!
[17:52] ---
    So it really is my fault...
[17:56] ---
    Ribbit. What's the matter?
[17:58] ---
    N-Nothing...
[18:00] ---
    I see. Then continue with your duty.
[18:05] ---
    Medusa has high hopes too!
[18:08] ---
    Well, bye.
[18:21] ---
    Talk about grueling...
[18:23] ---
    I'd say that's enough for today...
[18:31] ---
    Come on, get up. Let's head back.
[18:36] ---
    Why won't it work?
[18:38] ---
    Beats me.
[18:40] ---
    I managed to do it before...
[18:42] ---
    Yeah, you did. Isn't that good enough?
[18:47] ---
    If you did it before, I'm sure you
    can do it again. Don't you agree?
[18:55] ---
    Yeah...
[19:03] ---
    Whew, I'm hungry. You're in
    charge of dinner tonight, right?
[19:07] ---
    Oh! I forgot to do the shopping!
[19:10] ---
    What?!
[19:13] ---
    Sorry! It's cup ramen tonight!
    Don't be stupid!
[19:20] ---
    I need to clear up this suspicion.
    I absolutely can't look the other way.
[19:26] ---
    Even if he's your own father?
[19:29] ---
    I would stop anyone
    who's straying from the path!
[19:35] ---
    And who lays out that path?
    How can you tell they're straying from it?
[19:40] ---
    It should be obvious to
    anyone who sees reason!
[19:44] ---
    Reason, huh...
[19:47] ---
    You're so innocent...
[19:49] ---
    What?!
[19:50] ---
    Then let me ask you this. Who planted
    that sense of reason inside you?
[19:56] ---
    The logic of filthy grown-ups is
    what makes the world go 'round.
[20:02] ---
    Truth is concealed by the motives
    and rhetoric of those in power;
[20:06] ---
    tying clear truths together
    is out of the question.
[20:11] ---
    In this case, the "reason" you speak
    of is a long-dead and decayed concept.
[20:18] ---
    You're wrong!
[20:19] ---
    Applying that crappy thinking
    to the truth you seek now
[20:25] ---
    is no different than a puzzle
    with pieces that will never fit.
[20:28] ---
    You're wrong!
[20:30] ---
    How can you be that sure?
[20:32] ---
    Could you quit with the
    questions meant to trip me up?!
[20:35] ---
    You aren't some third-rate counselor here.
[20:44] ---
    Kid...
[20:46] ---
    What are you doing?!
[20:49] ---
    Wouldn't you in fact say it's DWMA
    that has fallen the furthest behind now?
[20:58] ---
    Is that how you see it?
[21:04] ---
    In that regard, I must completely disagree.
[21:08] ---
    DWMA isn't that softhearted
    of an organization.
[21:27] ---
    It looks like he's here...
[21:29] ---
    Oceania Technology
    Development Advisor... Joe Buttataki.
[21:39] ---
    I've arrived
[21:42] ---
    As of today, this is my workplace.
[21:56] ---
    Noise that disrupts the
    predetermined harmony

[21:58] ---
    A sharp, piercing look in the eyes
[22:00] ---
    It snuck in
[22:01] ---
    Hearts no different from when
    we used to dream in the garage

[22:04] ---
    That's right, no tomorrow
    will be the same as today

[22:06] ---
    I drive wildly and sensitively
[22:08] ---
    A singing heart, a playing beat
[22:10] ---
    Certain proof that you're alive
[22:12] ---
    You gain some
[22:13] ---
    and then lose some
[22:14] ---
    You gain some
[22:15] ---
    and then lose some
[22:16] ---
    Let's move through the times
[22:18] ---
    Even on nights of crying secret tears
[22:20] ---
    It's all
[22:21] ---
    right here
[22:22] ---
    It all is
[22:23] ---
    That's right, I should still
[22:25] ---
    be able to go on by myself
[22:28] ---
    An untarnished light
[22:30] ---
    pierces the moonless night
[22:32] ---
    Right now my life is screaming
[22:34] ---
    that this moment will go on forever
[22:36] ---
    See, deep in my heart
[22:38] ---
    there's always an image of you
[22:40] ---
    Simply embrace the truth
[22:43] ---
    that should be upheld and go
[22:44] ---
    Even if you should be swallowed
[22:46] ---
    by the rough waves of the daily grind
[22:48] ---
    we'll still be right here
[22:50] ---
    still dreaming on
[22:52] ---
    I can always hear them,
[22:54] ---
    the voices of my friends
[22:56] ---
    My only choice is to go on
[22:59] ---
    amid the wind in the city
[23:02] ---
    as if casting off loneliness
[23:04] ---
    The way of life I believed in
[23:08] ---
    Aah
[23:18] ---
    Lousy Kid! He didn't solve anything!
[23:21] ---
    mumbled Soul.
[23:23] ---
    What's with that way of talking?!
[23:24] ---
    said Soul, slightly irritated.
[23:26] ---
    You ignoring me?
[23:27] ---
    Soul said despondently.
[23:29] ---
