1. "The Great Cataclysm"
Copy !req
2. A long time ago, mankind was
touched by the planet's anger,
Copy !req
3. and the world was engulfed in flames.
Copy !req
4. It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
Copy !req
5. The flames burned ferociously,
Copy !req
6. with an intensity threatening to
incinerate the places mankind lived in,
Copy !req
7. the languages they spoke,
and the culture they had built up.
Copy !req
8. "Chapter One: Holy Fire"
Copy !req
9. As the world was being covered in ash,
one man appeared.
Copy !req
10. He would later be called Raffles I.
Copy !req
11. Raffles took his disciples and
left on a journey in search of light.
Copy !req
12. At the end of his journey,
he found an "unsullied flame,"
Copy !req
13. and brought forth the light that
would be mankind's salvation.
Copy !req
14. "Chapter Two: Amaterasu"
Copy !req
15. Raffles and his disciples used the flame
bestowed by the great Sol
Copy !req
16. and the technology cultivated
by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
Copy !req
17. The sacred flame of Amaterasu
benefited the lives of mankind,
Copy !req
18. and ended up establishing the foundation
of a state in the Far East.
Copy !req
19. During the investigation we just carried out,
Copy !req
20. we discovered a facility called the Tabernacle,
that is similar to Amaterasu,
Copy !req
21. and determined that its power source
was a person bearing an Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
22. In addition—and this is still speculation—
Copy !req
23. the source of power for
the empire's Amaterasu is also a person.
Copy !req
24. Probably the girl that I Linked with at the 4th,
Copy !req
25. whom we suspect to be the First Pillar.
Copy !req
26. But then, what is written in the scriptures
of the Holy Sol Temple is...
Copy !req
27. It means that the Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
Copy !req
28. would be presenting teachings
that are incorrect.
Copy !req
29. Every citizen of the empire
knows what's in the scriptures.
Copy !req
30. Are you telling me they're false?
Copy !req
31. Of course they are!
Copy !req
32. They don't say anywhere that our family
were the ones who built Amaterasu!
Copy !req
33. But to think that there's
a person inside Amaterasu...
Copy !req
34. What were my ancestors involved in?
Copy !req
35. False teachings...
Does that mean that it's possible
Copy !req
36. the Evangelist and
the Holy Sol Temple are connected?
Copy !req
37. Shinra, Arthur, Tamaki,
excellent work on this mission.
Copy !req
38. I'm going to report the results of your
investigation to the top brass at once.
Copy !req
39. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
40. This concludes today's meeting.
All personnel, return to your normal duties.
Copy !req
41. Iris, are you okay?
Copy !req
42. Just thinking that this country is
built on one person's sacrifice...
Copy !req
43. It's hard for us to believe,
as Holy Sol adherents, isn't it?
Copy !req
44. Captain, is the Holy Sol Temple evil?
Copy !req
45. I can't say for sure.
Copy !req
46. But the fact that the Holy Sol Temple
supports the people is true.
Copy !req
47. I am grateful for Sol's grace.
Copy !req
48. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
49. I have to find the truth, for the sake of
the sister and other devout believers.
Copy !req
50. No doubt about it. Arthur-kun was right.
Copy !req
51. The sequence of numbers
inside the Tabernacle is pi!
Copy !req
52. But what does pi have to do with Amaterasu?
Copy !req
53. The Holy Sol Temple's scriptures
are flat-out false.
Copy !req
54. And the development of the country
has been nothing more than a put-up job.
Copy !req
55. But if the people of the empire
learn of our suspicions about Amaterasu...
Copy !req
56. If the results of this investigation
ever come to light,
Copy !req
57. it would rock the whole Tokyo Empire.
Copy !req
58. I know. We have to be very careful
about how we treat this information.
Copy !req
59. Unfortunately, I doubt
this country would change.
Copy !req
60. The story would just get hushed up,
and that would be the end of it.
Copy !req
61. I guess this is all the Fire Force can do.
Copy !req
62. It might be time to play it a little rougher.
Copy !req
63. That's a dangerous idea, isn't it?
Paying a visit to the Holy Sol Temple?
Copy !req
64. Sounds intriguing, right?
Copy !req
65. You're not exactly on the
straight and narrow. Who are you?
Copy !req
66. A dark hero.
Copy !req
67. Everything I've had, I've lost,
Copy !req
68. but I won't let go of this remaining spark
Copy !req
69. No, I won't let it go, not ever
Copy !req
70. Though there may be no right answers
in my ill-defined tale,
Copy !req
71. once I'm able to step forward...
Copy !req
72. They say something's wrong with me,
but I'll do something with them
Copy !req
73. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be
Copy !req
74. But if my dreams have
resolved themselves to be by your side
Copy !req
75. then there's nothing left
for me to doubt anymore
Copy !req
76. Sparks fly as things kick off
Copy !req
77. until "black and white" turns to ashen gray
Copy !req
78. If there's a choice crown to be had
Copy !req
79. I want it, I want it
Copy !req
80. I'll whizz my way toward you
Copy !req
81. until "double or nothing" gets zeroed out
Copy !req
82. If the clowns are melancholy
Copy !req
83. then nothing will get anywhere
Copy !req
84. I'll show you a love that
burns hot enough to scorch ashes
Copy !req
85. I just spark again
Copy !req
86. "Episode 11:
Dark Hero"
Copy !req
87. The Holy Sol Temple is hiding something.
Don't you find that shady?
Copy !req
88. You're just as shady, yourself.
Copy !req
89. All the same, this does sound interesting.
Copy !req
90. So, why me?
Copy !req
91. As proto-nationalists,
Copy !req
92. you all have been unfairly oppressed
by the Holy Sol Temple.
Copy !req
93. I doubt you've forgotten that fact, right?
Copy !req
94. Or now that you're an imperial Fire Soldier,
Copy !req
95. have you lowered yourself
to being one of their dogs?
Copy !req
96. Please do not give money to solicitors.
Copy !req
97. This is Armed Forces Security Enforcement.
Copy !req
98. What is right and what is wrong?
Copy !req
99. I just want to know the right answers.
Copy !req
100. The vague scraps presented by God aren't enough.
Copy !req
101. Only the right answers are
the singular truths that transcend God.
Copy !req
102. I want to know the cause of human combustion,
Copy !req
103. and what exactly is happening in the world.
Copy !req
104. "Several years earlier"
"Haijima Industries, Headquarters"
Copy !req
105. "Infernal"
Copy !req
106. "Infernal"
"human combustion"
Copy !req
107. "Infernal"
"human combustion"
"Adolla Burst"
Copy !req
108. "Infernal"
"human combustion"
"Adolla Burst"Great Cataclysm"
Copy !req
109. Licht-kun, I read your paper on
human combustion. It was really good.
Copy !req
110. How did you come up with
the idea behind your theory?
Copy !req
111. H-Hey, Licht-kun!
Copy !req
112. I'm just...
Copy !req
113. trying to find the right answer.
Copy !req
114. The right answer is the one thing
in this world that I can trust.
Copy !req
115. Is that your just cause, Viktor Licht?
Copy !req
116. You again?
Copy !req
117. I seek the truth; I have no need for
anything as ill-defined as just causes.
Copy !req
118. Heroes need them.
Copy !req
119. We can't go public? Why not, sir?
Copy !req
120. No, I wouldn't think so.
Copy !req
121. The facts that you uncovered
are likely to disturb the empire's citizens.
Copy !req
122. Apparently, things must be done
in order for everything to be disclosed.
Copy !req
123. Disturbed? You're kidding.
Copy !req
124. Much as I hate it,
this was the top brass's decision.
Copy !req
125. We'll have to wait for three years
while this goes through the church,
Copy !req
126. to allow them to reveal the truth
in a way that won't cause any chaos.
Copy !req
127. Th-Three whole years?
Copy !req
128. So we have to keep on deceiving
the empire's people during that time?
Copy !req
129. If that's the case, I don't understand
why we even went to investigate!
Copy !req
130. —Not to mention what the White-Clad
will do in the meantime...
—It's not unusual for the truth to be hidden to preserve the status quo.
Copy !req
131. The "imperial dogs" aren't up to this.
Copy !req
132. This calls for a stray dog
that isn't chained up to anything!
Copy !req
133. Waka! Waka!
Copy !req
134. Hey, have you seen Waka around?
Copy !req
135. Huh? You, too, Lieutenant Konro?
We were just looking for him, as well.
Copy !req
136. For crying out loud, where could he be
out whooping it up at this hour?
Copy !req
137. Well, he's bound to get hungry
and come back home before breakfast.
Copy !req
138. Whenever you do see Waka, come let me know.
Copy !req
139. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
140. Oh, Beni, here I thought you were
starting to get your act together lately.
Copy !req
141. Don't go stirring up any trouble.
Copy !req
142. Is that it?
Copy !req
143. As you can see, the approach is
exposed and the security is tight.
Copy !req
144. We won't be able to just sneak on in.
Copy !req
145. As such, how about we bust our way
right through the main entrance?
Copy !req
146. Nice and straightforward.
Copy !req
147. You know, I still can't believe
you decided to tag along
Copy !req
148. with someone as fishy as I am.
There's something quite different about you.
Copy !req
149. Yeah. That's because you are so fishy.
Copy !req
150. If you try anything funny, I'll have
my eye on you, and can just stomp you.
Copy !req
151. Don't push me, now! We're so high up!
Copy !req
152. I'm not pushing you yet.
Copy !req
153. You're on the empire's wanted list, aren't you?
Copy !req
154. Why are you taking a risk
like storming the Imperial Seat?
Copy !req
155. For my just cause.
Copy !req
156. I want to know the truth! About what's
happening in this country, and this world!
Copy !req
157. To find out that truth, I'm willing to
let my humanity, my ethics,
Copy !req
158. my morality, and my virtue be damned!
Copy !req
159. I was born and brought up in this land.
Copy !req
160. I have a right to know the truth about it!
Copy !req
161. Truth is the one thing that
spells equal justice for all!
Copy !req
162. What's in there?
Copy !req
163. The "true" scriptures that
the Holy Sol Temple has been hiding.
Copy !req
164. Never heard of them.
How do you know about them?
Copy !req
165. I happen to know just a little bit
about the church.
Copy !req
166. All right, let's climb down
and go pay our respects.
Copy !req
167. We're climbing down?
Why did we even come up here?
Copy !req
168. People expect you to look down on things
from above when you're a hero.
Copy !req
169. "Holy Sol Temple, Imperial Seat"
Copy !req
170. Our Lord, who shineth in Heaven,
Copy !req
171. please bestow thy blessed light upon us.
Copy !req
172. Látom.
Copy !req
173. Allow me.
Copy !req
174. That's okay.
Copy !req
175. Do you know why I devote myself
to Sol as much as I do?
Copy !req
176. Of course, Excellency.
Copy !req
177. In times of old, there were many religions
that thrived around the world,
Copy !req
178. and by standing together in their belief in God,
Copy !req
179. they established a way of living
that maintained discipline.
Copy !req
180. Now, in recent times, a newly-created science
Copy !req
181. has allowed mankind to develop
more abundantly, and more efficiently.
Copy !req
182. Before the Great Cataclysm,
Copy !req
183. there were many forms of religion
and government across a vast world.
Copy !req
184. However, all of them have perished.
Copy !req
185. The Holy Sol Temple is a bundling of
all the histories of mankind.
Copy !req
186. All of the world's diverse religions,
governments, and science
Copy !req
187. became as one, centered around
Sol and Amaterasu.
Copy !req
188. The Holy Sol Temple is indeed
mankind's final light, the "truth."
Copy !req
189. No one in this world can be allowed
to betray the Holy Sol Temple.
Copy !req
190. Yes, heretics who follow not after
the Holy Sol Temple, which leads to rebirth,
Copy !req
191. but idolize this Destroyer God, Shinmon.
Copy !req
192. Do the residents of Asakusa still reject
the beneficence of Amaterasu?
Copy !req
193. We have been advised by the cardinals
to avoid doing anything
Copy !req
194. that might provoke Benimaru Shinmon.
Copy !req
195. Benimaru Shinmon...
Copy !req
196. What was that sound?
Copy !req
197. It was close!
Copy !req
198. It's the main entrance!
Copy !req
199. B-B-Benimaru Shinmon is attacking!
Copy !req
200. No, Your Excellency,
we have done nothing to him yet!
Copy !req
201. Stop that man!
Copy !req
202. Why is Benimaru Shinmon here?
Copy !req
203. I'm not Benimaru Shinmon.
Copy !req
204. I'm Shinmon Benimaru.
Copy !req
205. You really let them have it.
F— the Holy Sol Temple! That felt good.
Copy !req
206. You're the one who told me to do it.
Copy !req
207. Kicking disciple ass in the house of God—
Copy !req
208. what's become of your sense of justice?
Copy !req
209. This isn't about anything
as significant as "justice."
Copy !req
210. All I want is for those around me
to be able to live happy lives.
Copy !req
211. I don't know if it's because
I'm a proto-nationalist,
Copy !req
212. but I just don't like the Holy Sol Temple.
Copy !req
213. The energy that is produced by Amaterasu
Copy !req
214. somehow has the stink of blood on it.
Copy !req
215. Your senses are sharp, aren't they?
Copy !req
216. I like how being with you
doesn't make me feel tense.
Copy !req
217. These guys may not look it,
but they're the elite guard.
Copy !req
218. The Holy Sol Temple
Copy !req
219. boasts that they have God's Holy Fire
and the power of science,
Copy !req
220. and proclaims that mankind is wonderful,
Copy !req
221. but people are nothing but animals
before we ever get to mankind and God.
Copy !req
222. They say we are a nation blessed by God,
Copy !req
223. but if just one animal goes wild,
it all falls apart.
Copy !req
224. I just want to make them understand that.
Copy !req
225. This is no place for a barbarian
like you to trespass.
Copy !req
226. Die.
Copy !req
227. Hey, what's the matter?
Copy !req
228. Hey... Mr. Almighty?
Copy !req
229. I have no prayers to offer for you!
Copy !req
230. Hey...
Copy !req
231. "To be continued"
Copy !req
232. Lame.
Copy !req
233. Most incidences have their own name
Copy !req
234. But no one knows and I'm upside down
Copy !req
235. Billions of people exist
Copy !req
236. But not anybody tells me what that is
Copy !req
237. Sacrificing my limited life
Copy !req
238. Am I moving forward or not
Copy !req
239. I just want to believe
Copy !req
240. Nothing goes to waste
Copy !req
241. I question myself
Copy !req
242. Why I can't be who I want to be
Copy !req
243. tangled and translucent
Copy !req
244. It drains me
Copy !req
245. Pretending and overextending myself
Copy !req
246. Wish one day I could love pathetic myself
Copy !req
247. Hoping for a dazzling future to come
Copy !req
248. Don't over decorate smile clumsily
Copy !req
249. Just live life the way I am
Copy !req
250. This world is cruel
Copy !req
251. Can't choose how to be born
Copy !req
252. Stick up the middle finger then
Copy !req
253. Let's shoot off to the other side
Copy !req
254. "Fire Force, Season 2"
Copy !req
255. "Next time"
Copy !req
256. Captain Shinmon collapses
before the Holy Sol Temple combatant.
Copy !req
257. Joker is stunned by this.
Copy !req
258. What they seek is an even deeper mystery
within the Holy Sol Temple.
Copy !req
259. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Copy !req
260. I, too, love the darkness.
Copy !req
261. "Episode 12:
Shadows Cast by Divine Light"
Copy !req
262. Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
episode 12, "Shadows Cast by Divine Light."
Copy !req
263. Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
Copy !req
