1. Raffles saw at once
that the Unsullied Flame
Copy !req
2. was a gift from the great Sol.
Copy !req
3. He resolved to harness
its power with technology
Copy !req
4. and created Amaterasu.
Copy !req
5. By the light of
Amaterasu's sacred flame,
Copy !req
6. the people began to rebuild.
Copy !req
7. With its power, they established
a new state in the Far East.
Copy !req
8. Looks like an old
subway station.
Copy !req
9. That was powerful.
Copy !req
10. It burned through
my coat instantly.
Copy !req
11. Where's the shooter?
Copy !req
12. I haven't heard a sound.
Copy !req
13. But somewhere in the dark...
Copy !req
14. The young man
with the Adolla Burst:
Copy !req
15. The flame meant to
exterminate mankind.
Copy !req
16. He doesn't belong with you.
Copy !req
17. I'd like to thank you
for bringing him to us.
Copy !req
18. You saved us some trouble.
Copy !req
19. What do you
intend to do with Shinra?
Copy !req
20. Tell me your objective!
Copy !req
21. Die.
Copy !req
22. Licht! Where are you?
Copy !req
23. I'm completely cut off
from the others,
Copy !req
24. and the enemy could
appear at any second.
Copy !req
25. I'm Stays-On-His-Toes Man!
Copy !req
26. [WHITE-CLAD A]
Hold it.
Copy !req
27. You okay, Licht?
Copy !req
28. [WHITE-CLAD A]
Don't move a muscle.
Copy !req
29. To be honest,
Shinra, I-I've been better.
Copy !req
30. [WHITE-CLAD A] You're the one
with the Adolla Burst, right?
Copy !req
31. If you value this man's life,
you'll do as I tell you.
Copy !req
32. Hurry, Shinra! Use the Rapid!
Copy !req
33. Ya know, the tiger hand sign!
Copy !req
34. [WHITE-CLAD A]
Be quiet.
Copy !req
35. That's some pretty
impressive speed.
Copy !req
36. "The Rapid," you said.
Copy !req
37. That's even cooler than
"Kicker-Man Kick."
Copy !req
38. With my "Rapid-Man Kick,"
I can't be beat!
Copy !req
39. I think Captain Shinmon's
Copy !req
40. gonna shoot that down, too.
Copy !req
41. Why do you keep throwing
"man" into everything?
Copy !req
42. One word. Shinrabansho.
Copy !req
43. It means "all of nature."
Copy !req
44. And well, since the "ban" can
also be pronounced as "man"...
Copy !req
45. There's me. My little brother.
Copy !req
46. And then, "man"!
Right smack between us.
Copy !req
47. When we "ban" together,
we're Shinrabansho!
Copy !req
48. That's why I'm
Says-Man-a-Lot Man.
Copy !req
49. Makes perfect sense.
Copy !req
50. You should explain it
to Shinmon like that.
Copy !req
51. I'm sure it'll go great.
Copy !req
52. Huh?
Copy !req
53. Sounds like Lieutenant Hinawa.
Copy !req
54. We should go. The others are
fighting the White-Clad, too.
Copy !req
55. The more goons we beat,
the less they'll have to.
Copy !req
56. Seems my position
has been compromised.
Copy !req
57. Sniper's using the darkness
Copy !req
58. as cover between attacks.
Copy !req
59. And their fire's too bright
to trace back to them.
Copy !req
60. I used Ricochet Control
to pepper a wide area,
Copy !req
61. but there's no sign
I made contact.
Copy !req
62. Can't get a clean shot with
all these obstructions.
Copy !req
63. I should close in.
Copy !req
64. At any rate,
the enemy knows where I am.
Copy !req
65. I need to move.
Copy !req
66. No cover in here.
Copy !req
67. I need to get through
as fast as I can.
Copy !req
68. The moment he gives us
an opening, we'll attack.
Copy !req
69. He's fighting Arrow, remember?
Copy !req
70. I doubt that we'll get the
chance to do anything.
Copy !req
71. We're both
using ranged weapons.
Copy !req
72. But since I have my
Ricochet Control,
Copy !req
73. I should have the
advantage up close.
Copy !req
74. Did you come in here
Copy !req
75. to try and escape
from my arrows?
Copy !req
76. How ironic. All you
did was trap yourself.
Copy !req
77. Break.
Copy !req
78. Damn!
Copy !req
79. I've stumbled into
your hunting ground.
Copy !req
80. That's right, and I never
let my prey escape.
Copy !req
81. I will be taking the
Adolla Burst as well.
Copy !req
82. You're brainwashed zealots
Copy !req
83. who can't see the
value of a human life.
Copy !req
84. Shinra would never help you.
Copy !req
85. This scorched world is in
a constant state of flux.
Copy !req
86. It's on the cusp of a great
upheaval as we speak.
Copy !req
87. And in the wake of it,
Copy !req
88. all our feelings will
amount to nothing.
Copy !req
89. Those who insist that their
existence has meaning
Copy !req
90. are fools who can't conform
themselves to this world.
Copy !req
91. You say Shinra would never help
us, as if he has a choice,
Copy !req
92. but his feelings don't matter.
Copy !req
93. The Evangelist requires that
young man's Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
94. So we will take it.
Copy !req
95. When you look at yourself
as a member of a group,
Copy !req
96. your feelings as an
individual lose importance.
Copy !req
97. When that group's
the size of a country,
Copy !req
98. or the world, that gets truer.
Copy !req
99. At any second, those you care
for could burst into flames
Copy !req
100. right in front of you.
Copy !req
101. So it's probably for the best
if you forgo all attachments
Copy !req
102. and fulfill your
dispassionate role,
Copy !req
103. as an insignificant cog in
the machine of our society.
Copy !req
104. One that feels nothing.
Copy !req
105. There are many people, including
me, who think that way.
Copy !req
106. It's certainly an
easier way to live.
Copy !req
107. Emotions can be
downright exhausting.
Copy !req
108. If that's how you see
things, why fight?
Copy !req
109. First you tell me my soldier's
feelings don't matter,
Copy !req
110. then you expect me
to hand him over?
Copy !req
111. What do you take me for?
Copy !req
112. Philosophy aside,
you spit fuel in my face...
Copy !req
113. you'd better expect
me to get fired up.
Copy !req
114. Now that's a spectacle.
Copy !req
115. It makes a devastating roar.
Copy !req
116. And a devastating
shockwave, too.
Copy !req
117. I don't get it. What
the hell is he firing?
Copy !req
118. These're just standard
7.62 by 51 millimeter bullets.
Copy !req
119. But with all my
power behind them...
Copy !req
120. they move so fast that
I don't need to score a hit.
Copy !req
121. The sonic boom will
do plenty of damage.
Copy !req
122. He destroys another gun barrel
Copy !req
123. every time he
pulls that trigger.
Copy !req
124. He makes that gun
shoot like a cannon.
Copy !req
125. I wonder if Arrow's all right.
Copy !req
126. I was looking for an
opportunity to finish him,
Copy !req
127. but that would be like
stepping into a shootout
Copy !req
128. between a pair of tanks!
Copy !req
129. My strength is spent.
Copy !req
130. Vision's fading fast.
Copy !req
131. It feels like my
eyelids are melting.
Copy !req
132. I can feel my consciousness
drifting away.
Copy !req
133. Through the dust and darkness
of this underground hell,
Copy !req
134. all that I can make out
is the smell of gunpowder.
Copy !req
135. What's become
of... the other shooter?
Copy !req
136. When people can
burst into flames at random,
Copy !req
137. and lose their lives
in an instant,
Copy !req
138. becoming indifferent
about your own life
Copy !req
139. is a way of devoting
yourself to the world.
Copy !req
140. My death won't change a thing.
Copy !req
141. Damn you, Obi.
Copy !req
142. Making me a lieutenant
when the Eighth
Copy !req
143. is barely even big enough
to call a company.
Copy !req
144. I'd feel guilty leaving you
to run things on your own.
Copy !req
145. If I die down here,
Copy !req
146. then who's gonna teach
our rookies discipline?
Copy !req
147. Know why you
couldn't finish me off?
Copy !req
148. It's because your first shot
hit the wrong shoulder.
Copy !req
149. I won't go down while I wear
the emblem of Company Eight.
Copy !req
150. I'll use her flames...
to make it go even faster.
Copy !req
151. That took a lot outta me.
Copy !req
152. Doubt I'll be able
to move for a while.
Copy !req
153. It's funny.
Copy !req
154. I thought that "push past
your limit" stuff
Copy !req
155. was just a fantasy
for gullible kids.
Copy !req
156. You're the ones behind
the fog and the shimmers.
Copy !req
157. Guess you finally think you
can take me. You cowards.
Copy !req
158. Striking the enemy
when they're at their weakest
Copy !req
159. is Tactics 101.
Copy !req
160. Arrow was best-suited
to wear you down.
Copy !req
161. So how does it feel to know
Copy !req
162. that you'll soon die
at this coward's hand?
Copy !req
163. I doubt you have the strength
to offer any resistance.
Copy !req
164. Let me put you to rest.
Copy !req
165. You would've done
me in with that.
Copy !req
166. A shame it was only
a shimmer. Now die.
Copy !req
167. That was surprisingly powerful
for a last-ditch effort.
Copy !req
168. Not that it matters
when you miss.
Copy !req
169. No. I hit my mark.
Copy !req
170. Heh.
Copy !req
171. Though I am descended
from the heavens,
Copy !req
172. I was born from the earth below.
Copy !req
173. I transverse the land and sky.
Copy !req
174. Hm?
Copy !req
175. I'm a knight.
Copy !req
176. I saw Arthur watching us through
a tiny crack in the ceiling.
Copy !req
177. Signaled him to come on down.
Copy !req
178. So you're the pure soul
Copy !req
179. who summoned this heavenly
champion down to earth.
Copy !req
180. What do you need?
Have a quest for me?
Copy !req
181. Do I really have to
explain the situation?
Copy !req
182. You're good.
Copy !req
183. His face was covered then,
Copy !req
184. but I fought the shimmer
guy at Vulcan's.
Copy !req
185. Why don't you handle
this, Mirage?
Copy !req
186. Not a problem.
Copy !req
187. This one's more vulnerable
to my shimmers than most.
Copy !req
188. Kind of a one-trick
pony, aren't you?
Copy !req
189. This one trick has been
the end of every foe I've met.
Copy !req
190. Die!
Copy !req
191. That attack was fake.
Copy !req
192. It didn't have the
breath of life in it.
Copy !req
193. Let that stress heighten
your awareness.
Copy !req
194. Feel life around you.
Copy !req
195. Not just your ally's,
but your enemy's, too.
Copy !req
196. Focus on the lives at stake
Copy !req
197. and you can use the
stress of battle as a tool.
Copy !req
198. Good. Don't let yourself fall
prey to diversions for feints!
Copy !req
199. You have to discern the attack
that's coming to take your life!
Copy !req
200. Focus. Harness
the tension you're feeling.
Copy !req
201. Sense the life around you.
Copy !req
202. Now that I've gained
the wisdom of the samurai,
Copy !req
203. I'm multi-classing as...
Copy !req
204. a knight-samurai.
Copy !req
205. Hold up.
Lemme think this through.
Copy !req
206. If I were a knight-samurai,
I'd be mostly a samurai, right?
Copy !req
207. That doesn't make sense.
Copy !req
208. Oh, I had it backwards.
Copy !req
209. I'm really... a samurai-knight.
Copy !req
210. Your eyes are great at
tracking small movements.
Copy !req
211. That can help you or
become a distraction.
Copy !req
212. Be wary of deceptions
and feints.
Copy !req
213. There's more out there
than what the eye can see.
Copy !req
214. Maybe he's just pretending
Copy !req
215. he can see through my illusions,
Copy !req
216. trusting I'd probe with my
shimmers before attacking.
Copy !req
217. In that case, with this large
a number attacking en masse,
Copy !req
218. he'll have to assume
the real me is mixed in.
Copy !req
219. But in truth,
all of them are fake!
Copy !req
220. A real attack, the kind that's
intended to take your life,
Copy !req
221. always comes with
a distinct breath.
Copy !req
222. You need to listen for
that breath of life.
Copy !req
223. Like the one I just took.
Copy !req
224. An attack with
the intent to kill
Copy !req
225. will come with a breath.
Copy !req
226. The breath of life.
Copy !req
227. I refuse to
get anywhere near you
Copy !req
228. until you let one of my
shimmers distract you
Copy !req
229. and give me an opening.
Copy !req
230. The instant I see that opening,
Copy !req
231. my blade will leap from the
shadows and pierce your throat.
Copy !req
232. But first...
Copy !req
233. The breath of life!
Copy !req
234. Iai-calibur attack!
Copy !req
235. What was that for?
Copy !req
236. Were you trying to kill me just
because you heard me breathing?
Copy !req
237. Hm.
Copy !req
238. I'm a samurai-knight.
My blade knows its enemies.
Copy !req
239. No. How did you—?
Copy !req
240. I heard his breath.
Copy !req
241. While he thought
I was distracted,
Copy !req
242. he tried to sneak
up and stab you.
Copy !req
243. That villain is a
knave to his core.
Copy !req
244. Can you stand?
Copy !req
245. Impressive work, Arthur.
Copy !req
246. Where'd the other one go?
Copy !req
247. Think he ditched
his pal and ran off.
Copy !req
248. What was up with
that one's face?
Copy !req
249. Think he's human?
Copy !req
250. The man's face was
somewhat mask-like.
Copy !req
251. But what would he be
if not a human?
Copy !req
252. We need to rejoin the others.
Copy !req
253. Great. Lead the way.
Copy !req
254. So it goes.
Copy !req
255. Looks like the tunnel forks
off again. This sucks.
Copy !req
256. Why is the Nether
confusing and scary?
Copy !req
257. Have any ideas about
which way we should try?
Copy !req
258. Do you see what I see?
Copy !req
259. There's something glowing
on the left side.
Copy !req
260. Two things! And they're
coming toward us!
Copy !req
261. They're glowing eyes.
Copy !req
262. - Sputter!
- Flare!
Copy !req
263. Demon!
Copy !req
264. Who are you calling an
oversized tunnel troll?
Copy !req
265. [TAMAKI, IRIS]
We never said that, we swear!
Copy !req
266. Oh, hey. It's you, Maki.
Copy !req
267. So those demonic
eyes were just...
Copy !req
268. Sputter and Flare.
Copy !req
269. [IRIS, TAMAKI] Maki!
It's super scary down here!
Copy !req
270. There, there. You'll
be safe with me.
Copy !req
271. Two life signs just
showed up outta nowhere.
Copy !req
272. They're 15 meters away.
We should be able to see them.
Copy !req
273. Are they on our side?
Copy !req
274. You will never see a person
Copy !req
275. who is on your side again.
Copy !req
276. Hey, Lisa.
Copy !req
277. So you finally gave up
Copy !req
278. and put on the uniform
you despised.
Copy !req
279. You look like a
fool in it, Vulcan.
Copy !req
280. You know that, right?
Copy !req
281. And you look great
in whatever you wear.
Copy !req
282. You've always hated the Fire
Force more than anything.
Copy !req
283. So what would make you
follow them underground?
Copy !req
284. How is that a question?
Copy !req
285. I obviously came down
here to see you, Lisa.
Copy !req
286. What's the matter, Feeler?
Copy !req
287. Are you forgetting who it was
Copy !req
288. that gave you a home?
Copy !req
289. Who accepted a filthy,
ignorant cat like you
Copy !req
290. and taught you
everything you know.
Copy !req
291. Who showed you how
to manipulate fire.
Copy !req
292. How to manipulate men.
Copy !req
293. You only gained
Vulcan's affection
Copy !req
294. by using the techniques
I taught you.
Copy !req
295. He only took you in because
you followed my teachings.
Copy !req
296. Without me, you are nothing.
Copy !req
297. Nothing but a stupid, dirty cat.
Copy !req
298. Understand? Or do you
need another lesson?
Copy !req
299. Get the hell away from her!
Copy !req
300. You should know my
true name is Feeler.
Copy !req
301. And that I am a Knight
of the Ashen Flame.
Copy !req
302. That's right.
Protect me with your life.
Copy !req
303. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
304. He's lying to you, damn it!
Copy !req
305. Shut up!
Copy !req
306. The Iron-madillo?
Copy !req
307. Something tells
me that your lessons
Copy !req
308. did Lisa more harm than good.
Copy !req
309. But regardless, teaching the
youth is just what grown-ups do!
Copy !req
310. So stop pretending she
owes you, you geezer!
Copy !req
311. Come to think of it,
you're quite ignorant, too.
Copy !req
312. Feckless captain of the Eighth.
Copy !req
313. You can call me what you want.
Copy !req
314. You don't even know
Copy !req
315. what the flames of
human combustion are.
Copy !req
316. But our Evangelist
knows everything.
Copy !req
317. Why the spontaneous
human combustion phenomenon
Copy !req
318. is assaulting our world.
Copy !req
319. The true nature of the bugs
Copy !req
320. that have created
artificial Infernals.
Copy !req
321. The secret behind Shinra
Kusakabe's Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
322. Why his fire is known to us
as the "Flame of Perdition."
Copy !req
323. What happened to this
world in the past.
Copy !req
324. And what is happening
to it as we speak.
Copy !req
325. The Evangelist knows
all this and more.
Copy !req
326. But I will not share
that knowledge.
Copy !req
327. It sounds like you
really are a lousy teacher.
Copy !req
328. You're an intriguing man.
Copy !req
