1. Causes of death
are many and varied.
Copy !req
2. Old age. Illness. Suicide.
Copy !req
3. But out of that long,
morbid list,
Copy !req
4. there's one end that people
fear above all others...
Copy !req
5. Huh?
Copy !req
6. Sister.
Copy !req
7. I, um—
Copy !req
8. Crap, my bad.
Copy !req
9. Was she crying?
Copy !req
10. I really am sorry for intruding.
Copy !req
11. Oh, no. You're okay.
Copy !req
12. I'm not used to people
coming through this early.
Copy !req
13. Anyway, take care with
your training, Shinra.
Copy !req
14. Thanks, I'll do that.
Copy !req
15. Well, see ya later.
Copy !req
16. [SHINRA
Hey. Uh, Sister?
Copy !req
17. Thought I'd ask:
Is something bothering you?
Copy !req
18. I'm happy to help if I can.
Copy !req
19. It's why I took this job.
Copy !req
20. Thank you for your concern.
Copy !req
21. After the dust-up you
had with them yesterday,
Copy !req
22. this is probl'y obvious, but
Company Five can't be trusted.
Copy !req
23. We're looking into
their affairs,
Copy !req
24. and it could come to blows.
Copy !req
25. That's impressive, sir.
Copy !req
26. Is this a new training regimen
you've come up with
Copy !req
27. or some kind of performance art?
Copy !req
28. Hinawa!
Copy !req
29. Recall that our primary
objective is to protect people
Copy !req
30. by fighting Infernals and
putting them to rest.
Copy !req
31. However, we can't
forget that the Eighth
Copy !req
32. has a hidden objective:
Copy !req
33. To investigate suspicious crew
members within other companies
Copy !req
34. and oppose the ones
guilty of misconduct.
Copy !req
35. It's just as the Captain said...
Copy !req
36. I'm so distracted by his cap
Copy !req
37. that I can't hear
a word he's saying.
Copy !req
38. Company Five lies squarely...
Copy !req
39. More of those wretched griffins.
Copy !req
40. Come to attack my
castle again, eh?
Copy !req
41. Someday you'll be rust
on Excalibur's blade.
Copy !req
42. Do you even understand
how your blade works?
Copy !req
43. Yeah, how about you put a lid
on that knightly temper of yours
Copy !req
44. and leave those adorable
"griffins" alone?
Copy !req
45. There are wildlife protection
laws for a reason, ya know.
Copy !req
46. It's kinda funny hearing
you tell someone else
Copy !req
47. to control their temper.
Copy !req
48. You have a point.
Copy !req
49. Ninety percent of the time,
Copy !req
50. Maki's just as cool-headed
as she is beautiful.
Copy !req
51. It's a real shame about
the other ten percent.
Copy !req
52. I'm trying, okay?
Copy !req
53. No idle chatter.
Copy !req
54. We're in the middle of an
important meeting here.
Copy !req
55. Shut your mouths and focus.
Copy !req
56. Hey, Lieutenant,
I know you're kidding,
Copy !req
57. but could you please not
point your gun at us?
Copy !req
58. What the hell made
you think I was kidding?
Copy !req
59. Látom.
Copy !req
60. Somebody get a doctor!
Copy !req
61. My leg! It hurts!
Copy !req
62. Huh?
Copy !req
63. Less than it should, though.
Copy !req
64. No way. An airgun?
Copy !req
65. No. It's very real.
Copy !req
66. Lieutenant Hinawa is a
second-generation Fire Soldier,
Copy !req
67. the same as I am.
Copy !req
68. So he can't create fires,
Copy !req
69. but he is able to control
them once they ignite.
Copy !req
70. He weakened the
gunpowder's explosion
Copy !req
71. so the bullet would hit you
with non-lethal force.
Copy !req
72. Fire Soldiers are versatile.
Hard to predict.
Copy !req
73. Unlike the Infernals we fight,
humans use all sorts of tactics.
Copy !req
74. You should all keep
your wits about you
Copy !req
75. when you fight them.
Copy !req
76. Excepting Arthur, of course,
since he has none.
Copy !req
77. Perhaps I'll get some
when I slay this dragon.
Copy !req
78. You've got quite the
imagination, don't you?
Copy !req
79. Your training begins now.
Copy !req
80. I'll drill you punks
into the floor.
Copy !req
81. You're way too
focused on my fists.
Copy !req
82. Study your opponent's
whole body!
Copy !req
83. Listen, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
84. The thing is,
someone in the Fifth
Copy !req
85. joked about burning civilians
and I can't let that slide.
Copy !req
86. What's the deal with
that captain of theirs?
Copy !req
87. Princess Hibana is a
third-generation Fire Soldier.
Copy !req
88. She started out as a
recruit from Haijima
Copy !req
89. and shot up the ranks
with astonishing speed.
Copy !req
90. It looks like she did this
Copy !req
91. through illegal
research on Infernals.
Copy !req
92. All while selling
off her findings.
Copy !req
93. And these findings,
Copy !req
94. do you think they might
have anything to do
Copy !req
95. with human combustion?
Copy !req
96. She at least discovered
something big enough
Copy !req
97. to turn a nobody into
a captain overnight.
Copy !req
98. Whatever that might be, I'm sure
she'll have it documented.
Copy !req
99. We'll search their base
through force if we must.
Copy !req
100. Your feet and Arthur's
plasma can help with that.
Copy !req
101. Forget the documents.
I'm in it just to smash them.
Copy !req
102. No more!
Copy !req
103. It hurts so bad.
I'm beggin' you, stop!
Copy !req
104. And why should I?
Copy !req
105. You're gravel! Just gravel!
Copy !req
106. Stop whining
and shut your mouth.
Copy !req
107. I'm talking to your body.
Copy !req
108. If there's anything about
you I don't know yet,
Copy !req
109. it'll tell me soon.
Copy !req
110. Those who aren't me
are just gravel,
Copy !req
111. and that most certainly
goes for you.
Copy !req
112. So why don't you pave
the way to my happiness?
Copy !req
113. Repulsive dung.
Copy !req
114. You gotta stop!
Copy !req
115. Keep that up
and it'll come out!
Copy !req
116. What do I care if you scream?
Your pain's meaningless to me!
Copy !req
117. Because you're just dung
strewn with gravel,
Copy !req
118. and I'm a powerful,
beautiful princess!
Copy !req
119. The flame is the soul's breath.
Copy !req
120. The black smoke is
the soul's release.
Copy !req
121. Ashes thou wert and art,
may thy soul return...
Copy !req
122. to the great flame of fire.
Copy !req
123. Látom.
Copy !req
124. That smile was strained.
Copy !req
125. Of all people, I should know.
Copy !req
126. Maybe it has to do
with the Fifth.
Copy !req
127. Hey, quick question.
Copy !req
128. D you know if something's
going on with the Sister?
Copy !req
129. What's that?
Copy !req
130. The princess has named me
commander of the order?
Copy !req
131. Guess that dumb imagination of
yours runs 24/7, doesn't it?
Copy !req
132. So what's the deal? You think
the princess is in peril?
Copy !req
133. Will you please stop calling
the Sister a princess?
Copy !req
134. For real. You stopped with Maki.
Copy !req
135. That's because
Maki's an ogress—
Copy !req
136. Hey, you guys awake?
Copy !req
137. Uh?
Copy !req
138. Good evening, Maki. What's up?
Copy !req
139. I was wondering if one of you
knew where Sister Iris was.
Copy !req
140. Huh?
Copy !req
141. Apologies.
Copy !req
142. It's fine.
Copy !req
143. But what's a Sister doing
here at this hour?
Copy !req
144. I was actually hoping
to meet with your captain.
Copy !req
145. Uh. Doesn't seem likely.
Copy !req
146. Say that Iris has
come to see her,
Copy !req
147. and I think her response
might surprise you.
Copy !req
148. Is there something you wanted,
my little Miss Have-not?
Copy !req
149. I'm not sure what
exactly you're doing,
Copy !req
150. but from what I've heard,
it sounds really dangerous.
Copy !req
151. Furthermore, it's clear
that your research
Copy !req
152. is corrupt and blasphemous.
Copy !req
153. Are you defying the
great Sol on purpose?
Copy !req
154. Sister, please.
Copy !req
155. You've got some nerve
Copy !req
156. wearing that habit
in front of me!
Copy !req
157. Why? I don't understand!
Copy !req
158. The Sisters are used
by the Fire Force
Copy !req
159. as nothing more than
window-dressing.
Copy !req
160. And you've devoted your
life to that nonsense?
Copy !req
161. Looks like you're just as
foolish as you've always been.
Copy !req
162. Don't you talk to me about
your "great god Sol."
Copy !req
163. You're praying to
the ghost of a dream.
Copy !req
164. There's no god in this country.
Copy !req
165. Hell. There's no god
in this whole world.
Copy !req
166. Although there are a
few devils like myself.
Copy !req
167. Devils.
Copy !req
168. Using you as bait,
I'll lure the Eighth here
Copy !req
169. and grind them into dust.
Copy !req
170. No!
Copy !req
171. What was that?
Some kind of mortar?
Copy !req
172. Think it's human,
Copy !req
173. but they came from the sky.
Copy !req
174. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
175. I'm a hero, of course.
Copy !req
176. But specifically, I'm part
of Company Eight.
Copy !req
177. You can call me Save-Sister-
Iris-by-Crushing-the-Fifth-Man.
Copy !req
178. Pardon, Lieutenant!
Copy !req
179. But isn't what we're doing
kinda reckless and illegal?
Copy !req
180. We believe the Fifth
has been carrying out
Copy !req
181. some pretty shady
research at this facility,
Copy !req
182. so I doubt they'll file
any police reports.
Copy !req
183. Use those devil
feet to find the Sister.
Copy !req
184. Maki and I'll handle
things here.
Copy !req
185. You're gonna take on all
these guys by yourselves?
Copy !req
186. Start tearing things up
inside as fast as you can.
Copy !req
187. That'll give us some
breathing room.
Copy !req
188. Go!
Copy !req
189. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
190. You go, too, Arthur.
Copy !req
191. We'll watch your back!
Copy !req
192. Just don't forget to watch
your own back, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
193. Here he comes!
Copy !req
194. He's fast!
Copy !req
195. Do not discount.
Copy !req
196. That was the flat side.
Copy !req
197. We can't just watch! Get him!
Copy !req
198. You won't escape my discipline,
so don't you dare start running!
Copy !req
199. Run for it!
Copy !req
200. Not that this is anything new,
Copy !req
201. but I feel like you show
more mercy to Infernals
Copy !req
202. than you do to people
sometimes, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
203. I didn't join
the Special Fire Force,
Copy !req
204. I joined Captain Obi's
Company Eight.
Copy !req
205. I did it 'cause I wanted
to knock some heads,
Copy !req
206. and force certain idiots
to listen to reason.
Copy !req
207. You should start
knocking heads, too.
Copy !req
208. Knock 'em around
until someone gives up
Copy !req
209. that research data on
spontaneous combustion.
Copy !req
210. I left the Military and joined
up with the Special Fire Force
Copy !req
211. against my father's wishes
Copy !req
212. because I'd rather save
people than fight them.
Copy !req
213. So I'm not too keen on
man-to-man combat.
Copy !req
214. Didn't seem that way
Copy !req
215. when you hit that
rookie from the Fifth.
Copy !req
216. That was just a tap.
It doesn't count.
Copy !req
217. I have to admit, that Devil's
quick when he wants to be.
Copy !req
218. Wish I could see
which way he went.
Copy !req
219. Look at that.
The Devil's footprints.
Copy !req
220. I take it that you're
trying to follow
Copy !req
221. the Devil's footprints as well.
Copy !req
222. It's dangerous here.
Back to your farm, old man.
Copy !req
223. Lest your head be
damaged even worse.
Copy !req
224. I can't allow
you to snoop around
Copy !req
225. my company's base.
Copy !req
226. I'll roast you alive.
Copy !req
227. Not you again.
Copy !req
228. By administering a special drug
Copy !req
229. I've been developing,
Copy !req
230. I've boosted this
Infernal's firepower.
Copy !req
231. I'm quite pleased to have had
Copy !req
232. such a fine specimen
to work with.
Copy !req
233. We meet again, Manslayer.
Copy !req
234. By this sword, you'll soon...
Copy !req
235. By this very sword—
Copy !req
236. This sword will soon...
Copy !req
237. Those punks from the Eighth
Copy !req
238. are way too full of themselves.
Copy !req
239. What's that?
Copy !req
240. Crap. Stay back, Lieutenant!
Copy !req
241. That was some real firepower.
Copy !req
242. 'Course it is. Damn nobody.
Copy !req
243. I just blow
some flammable gas
Copy !req
244. into my oxygen-free bubble gum,
Copy !req
245. send it over to my target,
and pop the bubble.
Copy !req
246. When the flammable gas
hits fresh oxygen...
Copy !req
247. it goes boom.
Copy !req
248. And that's the magic behind
Copy !req
249. Toru Kishiri's Backdraft
Bubblish Gum!
Copy !req
250. Another. Another! Another!
Copy !req
251. Hey. Can you see where
they're coming from?
Copy !req
252. From inside that warehouse.
Copy !req
253. I believe the target's
just around the corner.
Copy !req
254. Though I can't be sure.
Copy !req
255. I can work with that.
Copy !req
256. Oh, gimme a break. What
the hell're you aiming at?
Copy !req
257. I use the sparks
they create on impact
Copy !req
258. to adjust each bullet's path.
Copy !req
259. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
260. How pathetic.
Copy !req
261. You'd need way more than
that to stop our rookies.
Copy !req
262. Come on, let's persuade
these crewmen to tell us
Copy !req
263. where the documents are.
Copy !req
264. Right.
Copy !req
265. Hold it!
Copy !req
266. The Fifth Angels Three are here.
Copy !req
267. —Let's fight!
—Attack!
Copy !req
268. Have you made
your peace yet, boy?
Copy !req
269. The fact that I've found
you here all by yourself
Copy !req
270. tells me the Eighth
is as undermanned
Copy !req
271. as our intel suggested.
Copy !req
272. The Infernal I have
fortified through science
Copy !req
273. will soon reduce you to cinders.
Copy !req
274. He's a cutting-edge weapon
that can condense his fire
Copy !req
275. into one small point,
then release it!
Copy !req
276. I don't wanna see
one trace of a body.
Copy !req
277. That isn't gonna be a problem.
Copy !req
278. 'Cause thanks to that drug,
Copy !req
279. the fire inside my
body is surging now!
Copy !req
280. See for yourself!
Copy !req
281. I'm about ready to explode!
Copy !req
282. That was close.
What's goin' on here?
Copy !req
283. Tryin' to cook some
Knight Teriyaki?
Copy !req
284. Knight Teriyaki?
Copy !req
285. But you don't have any armor,
and I don't have any sauce!
Copy !req
286. I alight upon
this scorched red Earth.
Copy !req
287. Clad in a raiment
of glorious gold!
Copy !req
288. Huh? Then I guess
I'll make tempura!
Copy !req
289. Come on, why even fight?
Copy !req
290. I'm a knight.
Copy !req
291. Status report?
Copy !req
292. The Angels are
fighting Hinawa and Maki.
Copy !req
293. Arthur's up against
the Infernal.
Copy !req
294. No one's seen Obi yet,
but he should be near.
Copy !req
295. Moths do love
their flames, don't they?
Copy !req
296. Burn the lot of them and
leave no trace behind.
Copy !req
297. The truth, the intrigue
behind spontaneous combustion,
Copy !req
298. it was found through
our research.
Copy !req
299. I won't let gravel
steal it from us.
Copy !req
300. Are you sure you're
a Fire Soldier?
Copy !req
301. 'Cause you're not putting up
much of a fight right now.
Copy !req
302. What's wrong,
ya scared or somethin'?
Copy !req
303. I can see through
your act, tough guy.
Copy !req
304. You put on a cute show.
Copy !req
305. But beneath that false
confidence, you're crazy weak.
Copy !req
306. And stupid, too.
Copy !req
307. Damn. What's going on?
Copy !req
308. Why do I feel so
out of form today?
Copy !req
309. It isn't a question
of whether you're "in form."
Copy !req
310. My Infernal's firepower is
simply too much for you.
Copy !req
311. Of course a punk like you
Copy !req
312. would blame your weakness
on somethin' or another.
Copy !req
313. You're not havin' a bad day—
Copy !req
314. you were never any
good to begin with!
Copy !req
315. You've made exactly the kind
of excuse I'd expect to hear
Copy !req
316. from a dumb phony like you!
Copy !req
317. Say what?
Copy !req
318. It would seem
that this tenderfoot rookie
Copy !req
319. isn't even competent
enough to understand
Copy !req
320. how terribly outmatched he is.
Copy !req
321. And to hear him
blame it on his form is sad.
Copy !req
322. You can call yourself a
knight all you want, chump.
Copy !req
323. Fact is, you're just an idiot
who's all bark and no bite.
Copy !req
324. In truth, I'm more than a
knight. I'm a Knight King!
Copy !req
325. You tried to stick your nose
where it doesn't belong.
Copy !req
326. And now I'm about to reward you
with a quick, painful death!
Copy !req
327. Why? I don't get it.
Copy !req
328. My power's failed me completely.
Copy !req
329. Wait a sec. I'm definitely
right-handed.
Copy !req
330. Why's Excalibur in my left hand?
Copy !req
331. Huh? How should I know?
Copy !req
332. You can ask whatever you find
waiting in the afterlife!
Copy !req
333. That was my Violet Flash.
Copy !req
334. That's better. I thought
I felt something strange.
Copy !req
335. What did I just witness?
Copy !req
336. He's absurdly strong!
Copy !req
337. 5th Angels Three!
Three-on-Three!
Copy !req
338. Triple Grating Slasher
Version Two Point Three!
Copy !req
339. That's way too many...
Copy !req
340. threes!
Copy !req
341. For some reason,
I thought there were
Copy !req
342. just three Fifth Angels Three...
Copy !req
343. but it looks like
we got all of them.
Copy !req
344. Well, good.
Copy !req
345. I wonder how things are going
for Arthur and Shinra.
Copy !req
346. While the two of them
dash around spreading havoc,
Copy !req
347. we can track down
those documents.
Copy !req
348. Here we go.
Copy !req
