[00:04] Flickering Flame
    You... You must not use fire.
[00:09] Flickering Flame
    You've killed each other enough already.
[00:13] Flickering Flame
    Life will burn.
[00:15] Flickering Flame
    The world will burn.
[00:19] Narrator
    Humanity's final war ended with
    the creation of a biological weapon
[00:25] Narrator
    that altered humans so they would combust
    from within when touched by natural flame.
[00:34] Narrator
    Yet the human race survived.
[00:37] Narrator
    Even though the dark forest
    engulfed them along with the world,
SIGN    Tokohanahime
[00:41] Narrator
    one destitute yet hardy
    generation followed another.
[00:46] Narrator
    Forest beasts contained fire that
    did not set humans ablaze.
[00:50] Narrator
    People called them "flame fiends."
SIGN    Flame Fiends
[00:54] Narrator
    Those who slew the fiends for this blessed
    light and warmth were called "fire hunters."
SIGN    Fire Hunters
[00:59] Narrator
    And they hailed the yet-unseen savior
    who would avert humanity's returning doom as
[01:08] Narrator
    "the lord of the fire hunters."
SIGN    The Lord of 
    the Fire Hunters
SIGN    Muku (Innocence)
[01:11] Touko
    Ms. Akira...
SIGN    Muku (Innocence)
SIGN    Muku (Innocence)
[01:12] Touko
    Ms. Akira, I think you should
    become the lord of the fire hunters.

[02:49] Narrator
    Hibari of the divine clans
    and Akira the fire hunter
[02:53] Narrator
    clashed in a fierce battle that
    nearly saw Touko drown in a canal.
[02:57] Narrator
    But Koushi's sister, Hinako, rescued Touko,
    as well as Akira's hound, Temari.
[03:11] Touko
    Kanata?
[03:16] Akira
    Are you awake?
[03:18] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[03:20] Touko
    Is Kun...
[03:22] Akira
    Don't worry. He's just sleeping.
[03:29] Akira
    Why are a treefolk and a fiend here?
[03:34] Touko
    Shuyu...
[03:36] Akira
    Touko, did you slay that fiend?
[03:40] Touko
    I don't really remember.
[03:42] Touko
    It sprang out in front of me
    with Shuyu in its jaws.
[03:46] Touko
    Temari and I...
[03:48] Touko
    Koushi's little sister
    pulled us up onto the bank.
[03:53] Akira
    What?
[03:54] Touko
    I couldn't believe how strong she was.
     She seemed strange, too.
[03:59] Touko
    Then she just crossed the canal and left.
[04:04] Akira
    Crossed how?
[04:07] Touko
    It was almost like she flew.
[04:12] Akira
    What in the world?
[04:14] Akira
    I thought Koushi's sister was sickly
    and the Okibis were caring for her.
[04:19] Touko
    But she...
[04:22] (Flashback) Hinako
    Thank you for Kanata.
[04:25] Touko
    She thanked me for returning Kanata.
[04:29] Touko
    That was...
[04:45] Akira
    Fiends have slipped into the capital.
[04:49] Akira
    Since they broke the fiend wards,
    the spiders must be controlling them.
[05:26] Akira
    Every fire hunter and hound
    in the capital will head here.
[05:30] Akira
    Touko, take Kun and run.
[05:33] Akira
    This is about to become a battlefield.
[05:37] Touko
    You run, Ms. Akira.
[05:41] Touko
    You're going to become
    the lord of the fire hunters.
[05:44] Akira
    I didn't set out to become anything so grand.
[05:47] Akira
    I just don't want this world
     to die yet. Besides...
[05:53] Akira
    You're not a fire hunter now.
[06:02] Akira
    Here they come.
[06:03] Akira
    Sorry, Touko, but I'm borrowing Kanata.
[06:07] Narrator
    A pack of fiends breaks through
    the wards and enters the capital.
[06:11] Narrator
    Every fire hunter gathers to fight them off.
[06:15] Narrator
    As Akira said, this place
    becomes a battlefield.
[06:27] Narrator
    Akira and Temari fight well.
[06:30] Narrator
    As does Kanata.
[06:51] Akira
    Touko?
[07:00] Akira
    You little fool.
[07:28] Akira
    Touko!
[07:40] Akira
    Touko! Fall back for now!
[07:45] Akira
    Touko...
[07:55] Akira
    Touko!
[08:06] Kun
    Lady!
[08:19] Roroku
    Get clear, Mizore!
[08:35] Koushi
    Ms. Akira, you're hurt.
[08:37] Akira
    Man, how pathetic can I be?
[08:39] Roroku
    You overdid it.
[08:41] Roroku
    Now, take the girl and fall back.
[08:45] Roroku
    Every fire hunter in the capital
    saw the Millennial Comet.
[08:49] Roroku
    Your brother will never get
    to rest in peace if you die here.
[08:53] Roroku
    Get your ass to the palace
    before the spiders beat you there.
[08:59] Roroku
    Let's go, Mizore.
[09:05] Touko
    Koushi...
[09:08] Koushi
    We have to get away from here.
[09:11] Koushi
    You don't need to use this anymore.
[09:20] Fire Hunter A
    Look there!
[09:22] Fire Hunter B
    The spiders have made it in here!
[09:25] Koushi
    Huh?
[09:28] Koushi
    No!
[09:30] Koushi
    The fiends are that way!
[09:31] Akira
    Wait!
[09:33] Koushi
    You're making a mistake!
[09:34] Fire Hunter A
    Kill him!
[09:40] Akira
    Wait! Don't kill him!
[09:58] Koushi
    Hinako?
[10:10] Koushi
    Please come with me.
[10:12] Koushi
    You need treatment
    if you're going to the palace.
[10:14] Akira
    Touko, can you stand?
[10:23] Flickering Flame
    Just like my older sister.
[10:26] Touko
    Who are you?
[10:28] Flickering Flame
    But Tokohanahime has gone from this world.
[10:34] Flickering Flame
    I cannot see my sister in the flesh again.
[10:37] Flickering Flame
    I left my orbit because
    I could not bear the fear,
[10:42] Flickering Flame
    yet I have returned.
[10:44] Touko
    Am I dead?
[10:48] Flickering Flame
    You are not dead.
[10:50] Flickering Flame
    It was our older sister who died.
[10:54] Flickering Flame
    And many humans, too.
[10:57] Flickering Flame
    Almost all life.
[11:00] Flickering Flame
    You live.
[11:03] Touko
    Who are you?
[11:06] Touko
    The Flickering Flame?
[11:09] Flickering Flame
    Enough have died already,
    yet still they kill each other.
[11:17] Touko
    You're the Flickering Flame.
[11:22] Akira
    Patch up Kun.
[11:24] Koushi
    Spiders are like gods physically.
[11:27] Koushi
    Your injuries obviously come first.
[11:30] Koushi
    I'm not a doctor,
    so I can only give you first aid,
[11:34] Koushi
    but I can at least stop the bleeding.
[11:38] Akira
    What about Touko?
[11:39] Koushi
    Sleeping off her exhaustion.
[11:41] Koushi
    She's so small, and yet...
[11:44] Fire Hunter C
    You there. Our job's not done yet.
[11:48] Akira
    I won't let Touko swing a sickle anymore.
[11:54] Akira
    She kills too much.
[11:57] Akira
    Killing's not the same as hunting.
[11:59] Akira
    We must never let Touko
    wield a sickle again.
[12:54] Koushi
    Hinako?
[12:56] Koushi
    Hinako!
[12:58] Akira
    Koushi. Don't go looking for her.
[13:02] Akira
    She was probably...
[13:04] Koushi
    Remade by the gods.
[13:07] Koushi
    Like the treefolk in the forbidden quarter.
[13:12] Koushi
    I think the doctor who treated Hinako...
[13:16] Akira
    He works for the gods?
[13:18] Koushi
    He may be a god. And he might not 
    be the only one in the Okibis' mansion.
[13:24] Akira
    Does Mr. Okibi know?
[13:27] Koushi
    I doubt he has realized.
[13:30] Koushi
    He loathes the divine clans.
[13:33] Akira
    That girl is no longer...
[13:45] Koushi
    What now?
[13:46] Akira
    I'll deliver my appeal to the Lady Goddess.
[13:50] Koushi
    But then, you'll end up like your...
[13:52] Akira
    My brother brought word of the Millennial
    Comet and the lord of the fire hunters,
[13:56] Akira
    and the gods killed him for it.
[13:59] Akira
    I'm that fool's little sister, and hunting
    flame fiends is all I know how to do,
[14:05] Akira
    so I'll do what I've set my mind on.
[14:08] Akira
    But I have hope this time.
[14:11] Akira
    The Lady Goddess has to read 
    an appeal written on muku paper,
[14:16] Akira
    and the gods can't play dumb now the
     spiders have launched their invasion.
[14:22] Akira
    So? What will you do?
[14:25] Koushi
    I'll use the tunnels that link the factories
    to get to the Ibushi cultivation plant.
[14:34] Koushi
    They have the second lightning cannon,
[14:38] Koushi
    and they should have
    staff on-site to work it.
[14:42] Koushi
    I'll join them.
[14:44] Koushi
    Mr. Okibi must be on his way to the
    first cannon at the Takiguchi steelworks.
[14:54] Akira
    Koushi, you don't need to
    stand by rich old Okibi anymore.
[15:00] Akira
    You don't need to endanger yourself, either.
[15:03] Akira
    If you head straight for town,
    you can make it to the bridge.
[15:06] Akira
    Take Touko and Kun with you.
[15:08] Koushi
    No, I'll stick to the plan.
[15:13] Koushi
    I designed that machine—that weapon—
    to protect the townspeople
[15:18] Koushi
    from the spiders' war with the gods.
[15:22] Koushi
    I have a responsibility to see this through.
[15:26] Akira
    I wonder if Haijuu was like you.
[15:30] Koushi
    My father?
[15:31] Akira
    Haijuu even abandoned
    his family to seek out muku paper.
[15:37] Akira
    He traveled to Touko's village,
    but before he could get what he wanted,
[15:41] Akira
    he died saving Touko from a fiend attack.
[15:46] Koushi
    Pretty stupid, huh?
[15:48] Akira
    It does seem silly.
[15:51] Akira
    If he'd ignored Touko
    and gotten the muku paper,
[15:55] Akira
    Haijuu might have petitioned the Lady
    Goddess and become lord of the fire hunters.
[16:02] Akira
    But you know, only a warmhearted fool
    would think of overturning divine rule,
[16:09] Akira
    let alone try to do it.
[16:14] Koushi
    My father never once mentioned
    the lord of the fire hunters to me.
[16:20] Akira
    "The lord of the fire hunters
    has the power to change the world."
[16:25] Akira
    It sounds like a fairy tale,
[16:28] Akira
    but looking at the capital, we really
    do need an alternative to divine rule.
[16:35] Koushi
    Mr. Okibi said the same thing.
[16:41] Koushi
    He told me we needed a weapon
    against the gods to make that happen.
[16:45] Koushi
    And for all humans to get to eat their fill
     of meat, sacrifices needed to be made.
[16:53] Akira
    A lord is someone who spends their life
     thinking about how other people live.
[16:59] Akira
    They never treat people like banknotes.
[17:03] Koushi
    So not just anyone will do, then?
[17:06] Koushi
    The skill to hunt the
    Flickering Flame isn't enough.
[17:10] Akira
    Right. We need someone worthy to
    become the lord of the fire hunters.
[17:31] Koushi
    Are you evacuating to the city?
[17:33] Supervisor
    No one's left.
[17:36] Supervisor
    Where did you come from?
[17:38] Akira
    Could you take this kid with you? She's hurt.
[17:42] Supervisor
    Sure, I can take her,
[17:44] Supervisor
    but if she's hurt, a treefolk named Kiri is
    healing people on the southern outskirts.
[17:49] Koushi
    Kiri? You mean Kiri came aboveground, too?
[17:53] Koushi
    No, never mind.
[17:55] Supervisor
    What about that kid?
[17:57] Akira
    He's mine.
[18:00] Supervisor
    Aren't you folk evacuating?
[18:03] Akira
    We still have a little
    business to take care of.
[18:06] Supervisor
    "Business," huh?
[18:09] Akira
    Ask the welder and laundress in Minatozaka,
     District 22. They'll tell you about her.
[18:25] Akira
    She'll be furious later.
[18:28] Akira
    You'd never guess,
    but Touko has a mean temper.
[18:35] Akira
    I'm not ditching you, okay? I'll come back.
[18:39] Akira
    Stay with this boy and do what he tells you.
[18:42] Koushi
    Ms. Akira, the lightning
    will start soon. Be careful.
[18:46] Akira
    I can't wait to see your invention in action.
[18:51] Narrator
    Entrusting Touko to the kindness of others,
    Koushi leads Kun to the lightning cannon.
[18:57] Narrator
    Akira heads for the divine palace
    with Temari to petition the Lady Goddess.
[19:05] Narrator
    Their time apart may prove lengthy.
[19:21] Kun
    What's this place?
[19:23] Koushi
    It's where food grows when people
    in the capital don't have enough.
[19:27] Koushi
    Kun, we'll hide you here.
[19:30] Koushi
    Don't worry. Kanata will be with you.
[19:33] Koushi
    I'm counting on you, Kanata.
[19:35] Koushi
    Don't come out even if you hear loud noises.
[20:09] Koushi
    Hello! Is anybody here?
[20:12] Koushi
    It's me, Koushi! Is anybody here?
[20:16] Hibari
    You took your sweet time.
[20:18] Koushi
    You're... Hibari.
[20:24] Koushi
    Did you kill them all?
[20:26] Hibari
    Of course not. They turned tail
    and fled as soon as they saw my spies.
[20:36] Koushi
    Did the gods make this rain, too?
[20:39] Hibari
    Perhaps they made it a bit too heavy.
[20:42] Hibari
    They called the rain like this before,
    when they tried to stop the great fire.
[20:49] (Flashback) Yuoshichi
    Water-wielding gods finally quenched
    the blaze by calling a rainstorm.
[20:57] (Flashback) Yuoshichi
    I believe the divine clans
    chose to delay and let it happen.
[21:01] (Flashback) Yuoshichi
    They culled the excess human population.
[21:08] Hibari
    They have arrived.
[21:09] Hibari
    The spiders have entered the capital.
[21:28] Hibari
    They used the fiends to divert attention.
[21:32] Hibari
    I see the spiders' usual crude stratagems
    have proven effective against humans.
[21:40] Hibari
    And it appears some humans schemed
     to invite them into the city.
[21:46] Hibari
    Starting with the reconstruction after
    the great fire, they built hidden passages
[21:54] Hibari
    so the spiders could access the tunnels.
[21:58] Hibari
    The spiders have had a way
    into the capital all this time.
[22:04] Hibari
    And humans made it for them.
