[01:49] Hibari
Tell me, how will you fight
the spiders with this ugly machine?
[01:56] Koushi
Have you already told your allies,
the other gods, about this place?
[02:02] Hibari
No. My relatives don't care for me.
[02:06] Koushi
And the spiders coming from underground?
[02:09] Hibari
I don't care what you all
crawl around in the dirt for.
[02:14] Hibari
Humans, spiders, and this city
mean nothing to me.
[02:18] Hibari
I won't kill you unless you make
a play for the Flickering Flame.
[02:24] Hibari
I detest blood.
[02:27] Koushi
How can you say that?
[02:29] Koushi
So many humans are hurt and bleeding.
[02:32] Koushi
They're fighting covered in blood.
[02:35] Koushi
But you want to just stay up on high
and never shed a drop of your own?
[02:40] Hibari
I knew you would amuse me.
[02:43] Hibari
I hope your machine does its job.
[02:47] Hibari
But now, I must get back to
monitoring your foster father.
[02:51] Hibari
I may turn my spies' blades on
his people if the situation calls for it,
[02:57] Hibari
but don't blame me
if you lose your cozy home.
[03:10] Voice 1
Is it true that fiends have gotten inside?
[03:13] Voice 2
Why else would they
evacuate us to this place?
[03:17] Voice 3
The alarm was ringing.
[03:19] Voice 4
The grown-ups ran off without us.
[03:21] Voice 5
But why can't we go home?
[03:24] Voice 6
They'll send us back to work
as soon as they know it's safe.
[03:26] Masumi
Hey, are you okay?
[03:28] Masumi
You injured? What factory did you come from?
[03:32] Boy Worker 1
She ain't a worker.
[03:34] Boy Worker 1
She doesn't even have a uniform.
[03:36] Masumi
Can it. You're not even
a team leader, so butt out.
[03:42] Boy Worker 1
Keep it down. The chief'll yell at us again.
[03:45] Boy Worker 2
Who is she?
[03:47] Boy Worker 3
She's not a worker, right?
[03:48] Boy Worker 4
Think she could be a kid from the slums?
[03:51] Boy Worker 5
But she came with an evacuee group, right?
[03:52] Masumi
Do you want to go outside?
[03:55] Boy Worker 6
She must've gotten mixed in.
[03:56] Masumi
What are you looking at?
[03:58] Masumi
Let us through.
[03:58] Boy Worker 5
I hear hunters headed to
the tunnel to wipe out the fiends.
[04:01] Boy Worker 6
You mean the wards broke?
[04:04] Boy Worker 7
The spiders'll break the gods' wards
and attack from the dark forest.
[04:08] Boy Worker 6
The spiders? Are the gods
gonna fight the spiders, then?
[04:12] Boy Worker 5
The fire hunters will fight them first.
[04:15] Boy Worker 6
Won't the other adults do anything?
[04:17] Boy Worker 6
How can we just wait here
twiddling our thumbs?
[04:20] Supervisor 2
Pipe down, pipsqueaks.
Don't talk like you know any better.
[04:24] Boy Worker 6
If we keep working in the factories,
pollution'll kill us anyway.
[04:28] Boy Worker 5
I'd rather die fighting spiders!
[04:30] Supervisor 2
Don't get smart with me! Any more
nonsense and you're on waste disposal!
[04:35] Supervisor 2
Or would you rather service tunnels
till you can't stand straight?
[04:35] Masumi
None of them have ever even
seen a fiend or a spider.
[04:39] Masumi
The older kids are always
picking fights with the grown-ups.
[04:43] Boy Worker 8
Hey. You can't just go outside.
[04:47] Masumi
I think this girl is here by mistake.
She says she's from the slums.
[04:52] Masumi
Cowards.
[04:55] Masumi
That scared them because the slums
are said to be full of infection.
[05:00] Masumi
But my mom's got it way worse.
[05:03] Masumi
She can't talk anymore because of
factory poisoning. She can only groan.
[05:08] Masumi
And we'll all end up that way sooner or later.
[05:13] Masumi
Just like my mom.
[05:16] Touko
Are we somewhere in the factory district?
[05:20] Masumi
No, we're in a communal kitchen
in the residential district.
[05:24] Masumi
Nothing to eat here now, though.
[05:29] Boy Worker 5
Hey! Look at that!
[05:31] Boy Worker 6
Whoa.
[05:32] Boy Worker 6
Are the gods doing something?
[05:34] Boy Worker 7
They're here. The spiders really came!
[05:38] Masumi
What are you so happy about?
[05:41] Boy Worker 7
My folks told me about 'em.
[05:44] Boy Worker 7
They say the gods leave
factory poisons around on purpose.
[05:49] Boy Worker 7
When the spiders come, humans will
be able to use fire like in the olden days.
[05:53] Boy Worker 7
We'll be stronger than the gods.
[05:55] Boy Worker 6
Is that true?
[05:58] Boy Worker 7
My old man says the bug venom kills you,
then makes it so you won't burn.
[06:03] Boy Worker 5
The watch will arrest you
for talking like that.
[06:06] Masumi
Don't be silly.
No one comes back from the dead.
[06:10] Boy Worker 6
Shut up! I'd rather die from
bug venom than factory poisoning!
[06:15] Supervisor 2
Give it a rest already!
[06:18] Supervisor 2
A-A-Anyway, all of you, get inside.
[06:24] Touko
I had no idea.
[06:26] Touko
I didn't know anything
about what the capital is like.
[06:32] Masumi
You mean you're not from the city?
[07:22] Koushi
Kun, I can't operate this alone.
[07:24] Koushi
I need your help.
[07:28] Kun
Okay.
[07:29] Koushi
But first, I have something to tell you.
[07:34] Kun
I know. Everybody's gonna die, right?
[07:38] Koushi
Right.
[07:40] Kun
But you've gotta use this thing, right?
[07:47] Koushi
Right.
[08:18] Koushi
Kun, over here.
[08:21] Koushi
Pull that long rod toward you
as hard as you can.
[08:24] Kun
Right.
[08:42] Okibi Maid A
I believe children from
the factories have gathered here?
[08:45] Supervisor 1
Did the Okibis send you?
[08:47] Okibi Maid A
Please enjoy this food together.
[08:50] Supervisor 1
Meal time, you lot.
[08:53] Masumi
Join in. Come on.
This is your chance to get food.
[08:53] Kids
Food!
[08:54] Kids
I'm starving!
[09:17] Koushi
Kun, Kanata, over here.

[09:37] Koushi
Kun, curl up and keep your head down.
[09:59] Boy Worker 7
Look, lightning!
[10:00] Kids
Lightning?
[10:01] Boy Worker 5
Forked lightning! It struck
the edge of the factory district!
[10:07] Kids
Hey! Quit crying!
[10:08] Touko
Mr. Koushi...
[10:10] Okibi Maid A
What? You know Koushi?
[10:15] Okibi Maid A
Which factory is this girl from?
[10:17] Supervisor 2
Actually, a fire hunter left her
with us during the evacuation.
[10:31] Koushi
A volley from the first cannon!
[10:47] Koushi
Hurry, Kun. Load the next—
[10:52] On
What are you doing?
[10:57] On
I don't believe it. You can make
lightning strike with this?
[11:04] On
You're calling lightning...
[11:07] On
and killing my comrades?
[11:39] Koushi
Her arm!
[11:44] Koushi
Kanata!
[12:12] Roroku
That was a close one.
[12:14] Koushi
Roroku!
[12:15] Roroku
She dislocated her elbows and shoulders
to stretch her already long arms.
[12:20] Roroku
Her range was hard to gauge.
[12:21] Koushi
So you're all right, then.
[12:24] Roroku
You think anyone's all right
given current circumstances?
[12:29] Koushi
Your arm...
[12:32] Roroku
It started to ignite,
so I cut it off with my sickle.
[12:35] Roroku
Those who escaped went to guard the first
cannon at Takiguchi's like we'd planned.
[12:42] Roroku
This thing wasn't firing,
so they sent me to check it out.
[12:47] Roroku
Where's the crew?
[12:49] Koushi
The gods chased them off.
They were gone by the time I got here.
[12:54] Roroku
So you launched that shot on your own?
[12:58] Koushi
No, I got this boy and Kanata to help me.
[13:04] Roroku
Now that's rich.
[13:06] Roroku
They've got a gaggle of grown men
kicking up a fuss over there,
[13:11] Roroku
but a four-eyed kid, a pipsqueak,
and a dog made this monster howl.
[13:17] Koushi
What's going on outside?
[13:21] Roroku
Spiders leaped out of
the underground tunnels all over.
[13:25] Roroku
They must've been spinning their web
under the capital for a long time.
[13:29] Roroku
Fire killed the gods who thought
they could get the drop on them.
[13:35] Roroku
Most of the fire hunters burned, too.
[13:38] Roroku
What about Akira and the girl?
[13:40] Koushi
Akira set out for the divine palace.
[13:43] Koushi
We asked a group of evacuating workers
to take Touko into town.
[13:55] Kun
On won't fight anymore.
[13:58] Koushi
You know this spider?
[14:00] Kun
We were together in the forest.
[14:02] Kun
On had a short temper
and wouldn't play with me much.
[14:06] Roroku
Hey...
[14:08] On
I wouldn't want humans any other way.
[14:12] Roroku
You're a tough one.
A human would be dead by now.
[14:17] Roroku
Must be the spiders' divine blood.
[14:23] On
As I speak, our fellows open the gates
of the home from which we were driven.
[14:29] On
Go to them, Kun.
[14:32] Kun
The bug that makes you
not burn doesn't work on me.
[14:36] On
No matter. Go and watch
as the world regains fire,
[14:45] On
and as the spiders burn away the gods,
the head clan from which we split,
[14:50] On
and the home of our birth.
[14:53] Koushi
"The home of your birth"?
[14:56] Koushi
The spiders used to be part of the Fire Clan.

[14:59] Koushi
Is that why you're so fixated on fire?
SIGN Fire
[15:03] On
Ancient flame was once
the very power we commanded.
[15:09] On
Now the head clan stands over all,
[15:12] On
yet they cannot even approach the flame
that is their power, let alone wield it.
[15:19] On
Does it not frustrate you? More than anyone,
humans should reclaim fire.
[15:25] On
Return to the era when you
boasted of controlling its might.
[15:29] Koushi
Why... Why do you care so much
about what humans do?
[15:33] Roroku
Stop. Don't bother arguing.
[15:36] On
We attack the capital
where the divine clans squat
[15:40] On
to achieve our great ambition
of giving humanity fire.
[15:45] Koushi
After you killed so many
of those very humans?
[15:48] Koushi
You act just like the
people of the old world.
[15:54] Koushi
Ancient humans once destroyed the world
with fire to get what they wanted.
[16:03] On
Didn't you kill your fair share
using the fallbeasts' power?
[16:10] On
Like the humans of the old world.
[16:14] On
No matter how the world changes,
the human race never will.
[16:20] On
That is humanity's true nature.
[16:26] On
Humans use fire to make things
and fight each other.
[16:31] On
Then they rise again from
the ashes of destruction.
[16:35] On
That's how it should be.
[16:37] On
That's the kind of creatures humans are.
[16:41] On
So reclaim fire.
[16:47] Touko
Where are we going?
[16:49] Okibi Maid A
We'll escort you to the Okibi estate.
[16:51] Okibi Maid A
You must have seen Koushi in the factories.
[16:54] Okibi Maid A
He's alive, isn't he?
[16:56] Touko
He left me with some people
and went to a factory, I think.
[17:02] Voice 1
The spiders have come.
[17:04] Voice 1
The spiders brought real fire to save us.
[17:07] Voice 2
Purifying flame, not filthy fiendfire.
[17:12] Driver
Move! And be quick about it!
[17:16] Driver
Make way! Clear the road!
[17:16] Voice 3
The spiders will save us, even after we die.
[17:20] Voice 5
They'll free us from the torment
of the factories and the pain of life!
[17:27] Okibi Maid A
Who's that with the cane?
[17:30] Okibi Maid B
That's Ms. Ibushi.
She runs the cultivation plant.
[17:35] Ibushi
You ought to stop this. Don't go.
[17:39] Ibushi
It wasn't just the gods.
[17:42] Ibushi
They swell up out of the dark places.
[17:45] Yuoshichi
Someone escort Ms. Ibushi home to her estate.
[18:03] Yuoshichi
Spineless coward.
[18:11] Kira
Touko?
[18:13] Okibi Maid A
Miss Kira.
[18:15] Kira
What's wrong? What brings you here?
[18:18] Okibi Maid A
She said she was in the
factory district with Koushi.
[18:21] Okibi Maid A
We bumped into her at a communal kitchen.
[18:25] Kira
Touko, let's go to my room.
[18:29] Kira
Bring her clean clothes
and something hot to eat.
[18:31] Hibana
Wait right there.
[18:36] Hibana
Kira.
[18:38] Kira
Yes, Mother.
[18:43] Hibana
You mustn't decide these things on your own.
[18:48] Kira
Forgive me, Mother.
[18:54] Hibana
What are you waiting for?
Fetch this girl a change of clothes.
[18:57] Kira
Okay.
[18:59] Hibana
Listen closely.
[19:01] Hibana
That boy was invited into
our home for this moment.
[19:07] Hibana
Your father predicted this would happen
and kept an assistant on hand.
[19:14] Hibana
The boy certainly made
himself at home here,
[19:19] Hibana
but he must have realized that much himself.
[19:24] Hibana
So, Kira...
[19:27] Hibana
Stop having vulgar feelings
for your father's lackey.
[19:33] Kira
What?
[19:45] Kira
Koushi and Hinako and even Kanata
must be in the factory district right now.
[19:52] Kira
I had no idea.
[19:55] Kira
How... How long has this been going on?
[20:00] Kira
I have to go.
[20:01] Kira
I have to go to where they are.
[20:05] Hibana
Kira! Wait!
[20:08] Kira
I...
[20:09] Okibi Maid A
Miss Kira!
[20:11] Touko
Miss Kira!
[20:41] Kouhachi
I must insist that the
young lady accompany me.
[20:47] Kouhachi
So that the Flickering Flame
may become our new Lady Goddess,
[20:52] Kouhachi
we must choose a human child
as a temporary vessel.
[20:58] Kouhachi
A bright, healthy girl like
Miss Kira should do nicely.
[21:09] Hibana
Kouhachi. So you were a mole?
[21:12] Hibana
You pretended to be human and
snuck into our home, you monster.
[21:17] Hibana
Give me back my daughter!
[21:20] Takimi
The Okibis have been chosen.
[21:23] Takimi
Chosen by the gods to keep
the human world from ending.
[21:28] Hibana
You, too, Takimi?
[21:32] Takimi
Little Hinako proved most suitable.
[21:36] Takimi
She's a new breed of human
that doesn't need fire.
[21:41] Hibana
My daughter...
[21:43] Hibana
Give Kira back to me!
[21:47] Takimi
Unfortunately, this is no time for scruples.
[21:52] Takimi
Please understand.
[21:54] Takimi
We do this for future generations.
[21:58] Hibana
Kira!
[22:12] Flickering Flame
I'll take you to where the dogs are.
