1. Lisa, hand me my gauge, would you?
Copy !req
2. Okay.
Copy !req
3. —Here.
—Thank you.
Copy !req
4. Oh, are you making something new for us?
Copy !req
5. There's no telling when the Evangelist's
people will show up again.
Copy !req
6. There. Lisa, that's all for today.
Copy !req
7. Okay. If you need anything else, just call.
Copy !req
8. Yeah.
Copy !req
9. She's put up with a ton
of abuse from Haijima.
Copy !req
10. And after how Dr. Giovani hurt Lisa,
Copy !req
11. I'm going to make damn sure
Haijima pays for what they did.
Copy !req
12. Yeah, let's kick their asses.
Copy !req
13. Shinra, before you enrolled
at the training academy,
Copy !req
14. you were at a Haijima facility, right?
Copy !req
15. You could be a spy!
Copy !req
16. Oh, yeah, maybe so. I could be a spy,
if it meant being able to assassinate you.
Copy !req
17. So you are a spy! Come at me!
Copy !req
18. You're coming at me, you idiot!
Copy !req
19. Did you think you could beat
the Knight King's sword skills?
Copy !req
20. You actually hit me!
Copy !req
21. You're the one who hit me first!
Copy !req
22. —You devil! Devil! Devil!
—You stupid knight! Stupid knight!
Copy !req
23. Shinra, you were once at Haijima?
Copy !req
24. Hmm? Oh, yeah. When my abilities
surfaced after the fire 12 years ago,
Copy !req
25. there was a period where
I couldn't control them very well.
Copy !req
26. That was when...
Copy !req
27. I underwent experiments at
a Haijima pyrokinesis development institute.
Copy !req
28. I can still remember how
chilling it felt there.
Copy !req
29. All the employees saw the children
as nothing more than test subjects.
Copy !req
30. I didn't feel the slightest bit
of warmth from them.
Copy !req
31. I didn't want for anything there,
but it wasn't exactly cozy, either.
Copy !req
32. Shinra-kun...
Copy !req
33. Inspector Licht?
Copy !req
34. I have a somewhat important
matter I need to discuss,
Copy !req
35. so I'd like to get everyone together.
Copy !req
36. A-All right.
Copy !req
37. Okay.
Copy !req
38. "Episode 14:
The Ashen Reaper"
Copy !req
39. So, what's this important matter
you need to discuss?
Copy !req
40. This is extremely hard for me to say,
Copy !req
41. and I apologize in advance,
but I, Viktor Licht...
Copy !req
42. am a Haijima spy,
embedded here at the 8th.
Copy !req
43. H-Huh? You seem underwhelmed.
Copy !req
44. Mm-hmm, we knew.
Copy !req
45. So why speak up now?
You were never actually posted to the 8th.
Copy !req
46. You've always been with Haijima, right?
Copy !req
47. Yes I have.
Copy !req
48. Huh? Does that mean that
Licht-san isn't one of us?
Copy !req
49. It's okay. As you were, Sister. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
50. Then that will speed this along.
Copy !req
51. My primary objective in coming to the 8th
Copy !req
52. was to observe Shinra-kun
and his Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
53. Haijima has been looking for
the next bearer of an Adolla Burst,
Copy !req
54. just like the Evangelist,
Copy !req
55. and for that reason,
I was sent here to spy on Shinra-kun.
Copy !req
56. But Shinra was already at Haijima, right?
Copy !req
57. It seems like they let Shinra's Adolla Burst
get away from them pretty easily.
Copy !req
58. Yes, and that is what
I would like to speak about.
Copy !req
59. Shinra-kun, after your house burned down,
Copy !req
60. you were taken in by a Haijima
pyrokinesis development institute, yes?
Copy !req
61. Yes, from when I was 5 until I was 12.
Copy !req
62. At age 13, I enrolled at
the Fire Force Training Academy.
Copy !req
63. As it happens, they were researching
Adolla Bursts at that facility.
Copy !req
64. Nonetheless, the Haijima
researchers there at the time
Copy !req
65. could not identify your flame
as being an Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
66. Heh, lightweight.
Copy !req
67. What's so funny?
You're the last person to laugh.
Copy !req
68. This is where the issue arises.
Copy !req
69. Once they discovered the fact that
they passed over Shinra-kun,
Copy !req
70. the facility has gotten a lot more
radical with their experiments,
Copy !req
71. enough so that people are getting hurt.
Copy !req
72. So much so that some of
the kids will never recover.
Copy !req
73. And the thing that triggered all this
was letting Shinra-kun get away.
Copy !req
74. Oh, man... Because of me?
Copy !req
75. And now, they've finally ordered me
to bring Shinra-kun back.
Copy !req
76. There's no way we can
sell out one of our crewmen.
Copy !req
77. It's dangerous, to be sure. Haijima is
clearly out for Shinra-kun's Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
78. However, I think of this as being
a chance to investigate Haijima.
Copy !req
79. None of Haijima's people
know the nitty-gritty
Copy !req
80. of the pyrokinesis development
facility, including me.
Copy !req
81. If we agree to go in,
Copy !req
82. we may be able to find a connection
between the facility and the Evangelist.
Copy !req
83. You're a Haijima spy, aren't you?
I'm not about to trust you so quickly!
Copy !req
84. Hold on, Vulcan.
Copy !req
85. If what Inspector Licht says is true,
Copy !req
86. then I can't just leave
the children there to suffer.
Copy !req
87. Captain, I'm okay with this.
Copy !req
88. What kind of hero am I
if I can't keep children safe?
Copy !req
89. Shinra, don't rush into any decisions.
Copy !req
90. It's going to take three years before
the truth about Amaterasu goes public.
Copy !req
91. In the meantime, the Evangelist's plans
just keep moving forward.
Copy !req
92. There's no time for playing it slow and easy.
Copy !req
93. I mean, Sho is still...
Copy !req
94. Inspector Licht,
Copy !req
95. the most important question still remains.
Copy !req
96. Whose side are you on,
the 8th's, or Haijima's?
Copy !req
97. I'm on both sides.
Copy !req
98. I'm with Haijima because
I can research the truth.
Copy !req
99. But right now, I'm partial to the 8th.
Copy !req
100. The 8th seems like it's closer to the truth.
Copy !req
101. It doesn't seem like you're
really part of either one.
Copy !req
102. Oh, that's a sharp observation.
Copy !req
103. Shinra, I can't let you go to Haijima
by yourself. It's too dangerous.
Copy !req
104. All 8th personnel will be conducting
an investigation of Haijima.
Copy !req
105. —Yes, sir!
—Yes, sir!
Copy !req
106. Commence "Operation Investigate
Haijima Industries"!
Copy !req
107. —Roger!
—Roger!
Copy !req
108. Nataku-kun, we're starting a combat test.
Copy !req
109. Kurono-kun, are you ready?
Copy !req
110. Nataku, care to go a round
with your Uncle Reaper?
Copy !req
111. S-Sure.
Copy !req
112. This will be the third combat test, huh?
Copy !req
113. He may be an unexpected surprise
from that earlier incident,
Copy !req
114. but don't break him, if you please.
Copy !req
115. Okay, you may begin.
Copy !req
116. Okay, you have another experiment
with your Uncle Reaper today.
Copy !req
117. U-Uncle Reaper...
Copy !req
118. when will I be able to go home?
Copy !req
119. You recognize this grim reaper symbol, right?
Copy !req
120. You're not going home until you're dead.
Copy !req
121. This is your third test, too. It's about time
I started fighting like I mean it.
Copy !req
122. Nataku, you'll have to knuckle down, too,
or you could go home in a coffin.
Copy !req
123. I want you to show me your true power.
Copy !req
124. Click!
Copy !req
125. Fire! I know you can do it! You can do it!
Copy !req
126. After all, you've been chosen by the Insects!
Copy !req
127. Show them how hot-blooded you are!
Copy !req
128. Show them how passionate you are!
Copy !req
129. Fire!
Copy !req
130. I'm getting fired up!
Copy !req
131. That's it! Fire! Click!
Copy !req
132. "Click"
Copy !req
133. Fire!
Copy !req
134. Fire!
Copy !req
135. That's the spirit, that's the spirit!
That's good! That's hot! Keep at it!
Copy !req
136. Breathe in, just like that!
Shout it out from deep inside! Waah!
Copy !req
137. Let it out, let it out even more!
I know you can do it! Let yourself roar!
Copy !req
138. "Raaaah"
Copy !req
139. Flame output rising.
Still unable to detect an Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
140. His mental state is growing unstable.
Copy !req
141. From the trauma of that incident.
What do we do, stop?
Copy !req
142. Shinra Kusakabe is said to have
sparked his Adolla Burst
Copy !req
143. through actual combat and combat training.
Copy !req
144. We continue. And if he breaks, that's that.
Copy !req
145. It would be a shame, though.
Copy !req
146. Come on, we're not done yet.
Copy !req
147. This is Uncle Reaper's job, too.
Copy !req
148. I need you to go along with this,
or I can't work.
Copy !req
149. It's hard enough just to watch.
I'm surprised he can do this.
Copy !req
150. I understand that to him,
this is his true calling.
Copy !req
151. He's got the skills it would take
to fight in an actual combat unit,
Copy !req
152. but apparently, he remains here by choice.
Copy !req
153. Just so he can pick on children.
Copy !req
154. His right arm is already
carbonized from tephrosis,
Copy !req
155. but he still seeks to destroy even more.
Copy !req
156. He's completely around the bend, isn't he?
Copy !req
157. But his abilities are the real deal.
Copy !req
158. Apparently, he rivals even
the captain of the 7th.
Copy !req
159. Kurono-kun, that's good. That was plenty.
Copy !req
160. Good work in there, Kurono-kun.
Copy !req
161. Wow, I'm impressed. You don't
feel weird about beating up kids?
Copy !req
162. I love bullying the weak.
Copy !req
163. The weaker they are, the less I have to
worry about myself getting hurt.
Copy !req
164. So that's why you're so willing to
go along with what we adults say.
Copy !req
165. You are really getting on my nerves now.
Copy !req
166. Don't you know that when I say "weak,"
that includes you?
Copy !req
167. I am ridiculously powerful against the weak.
Copy !req
168. Sorry about that! He didn't know!
Copy !req
169. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
170. I heard that Shinra Kusakabe
would be coming here.
Copy !req
171. Naturally, he's going to be facing me, right?
Copy !req
172. He's weak, after all.
Copy !req
173. Shinra-kun, thanks for coming.
Copy !req
174. Think nothing of it.
When you spoke about the facility,
Copy !req
175. it reminded me of someone who was there.
Copy !req
176. A guy who was at the facility
being treated for tephrosis.
Copy !req
177. I remember how depraved he was, even now.
Copy !req
178. —What the...? Hey, what are you doing?
—Hey, get away from there!
Copy !req
179. —Behave yourself!
—Come on, stop squirming!
Copy !req
180. —It's no fair that only you guys are allowed.
—Behave yourself!
—Come on, stop squirming!
Copy !req
181. —It's no fair that only you guys are allowed.
—Are you listening to me?
—Let's go!
Copy !req
182. —Let me play with the kids, too.
—Are you listening to me?
—Let's go!
Copy !req
183. That was probably Kurono.
I've heard stories about him.
Copy !req
184. "Tephrosis"Psycho"Relishes the weak"
"Reaper"Bully"Exotic black smoke"
"Maddest"
Copy !req
185. Captain Shinmon of the 7th is
well-known as being the "Mightiest,"
Copy !req
186. but this man Kurono is said to be
the "Maddest" pyrokinetic.
Copy !req
187. Here we are. Does it bring back any memories?
Copy !req
188. Huh? Was this the place?
Copy !req
189. Oh, they do change the locations
of their labs periodically
Copy !req
190. to keep their information hidden.
Copy !req
191. Which just goes to show
how disgraceful what they're doing is.
Copy !req
192. Let's go.
Copy !req
193. Viktor Licht, chief researcher,
applied pyrokinesiology lab.
Copy !req
194. Right, we're expecting you.
Copy !req
195. Have you noticed?
Copy !req
196. Well, yeah. Security is
keeping a close eye on us.
Copy !req
197. As if to say, "You're definitely
not getting out of here."
Copy !req
198. Though I have to admit, I'm excited
to get to observe such a shady facility.
Copy !req
199. Are you sure you should be saying that
in front of the security guard?
Copy !req
200. I'm going to get killed here anyway, so...
Copy !req
201. I won't let them kill you.
I promise, I'll protect you.
Copy !req
202. Inspector Licht, even if
you are a Haijima spy,
Copy !req
203. you've still saved me time and again.
Copy !req
204. You're someone we definitely need at the 8th.
Copy !req
205. Wow, I'm pleased to hear it.
I can die happy now.
Copy !req
206. No you can't.
Copy !req
207. Did you hear what he just
said about me, Joker?
Copy !req
208. I may just leave you for the 8th.
Copy !req
209. I can't let Joker be the only one
out there risking his neck.
Copy !req
210. I wrote that ridiculous report
to rankle the top brass
Copy !req
211. so I could get some dirt on Haijima.
Copy !req
212. I'm going to exploit the good will
of the 8th and Shinra-kun to that end
Copy !req
213. if it means getting my hands on the truth.
Copy !req
214. We've been expecting you. Welcome to
the pyrokinesis development lab.
Copy !req
215. The kids will be thrilled to see you.
Copy !req
216. How the hell can you say that,
when you torture kids the way you do?
Copy !req
217. Yes, of course. You want to see
the children right away, don't you?
Copy !req
218. Well, come on inside.
Copy !req
219. —How cute!
—Amazing!
Copy !req
220. —Hey, I want to try!
—Me, too!
Copy !req
221. This is how we take care of children
Copy !req
222. who still do not know
how to control their abilities.
Copy !req
223. I requested that I be allowed
to see the boy you took in
Copy !req
224. after the Rekka Hoshimiya incident,
Copy !req
225. but was told that I was not authorized.
Copy !req
226. I'd like to see how he is. Is that possible?
Copy !req
227. Oh, you must mean Nataku-kun.
Copy !req
228. He is a special case,
so he is not at this facility.
Copy !req
229. Help me!
Copy !req
230. Somebody!
Copy !req
231. An Adolla Link!
Copy !req
232. I want to go home!
Copy !req
233. Are you...?
Copy !req
234. Shinra-kun?
Copy !req
235. Yes, an Adolla Link.
Copy !req
236. Like hell he isn't here.
This is where that boy is.
Copy !req
237. They really are hiding something.
Copy !req
238. Let's play along with them for a bit
and see what we can uncover.
Copy !req
239. Crewman Kusakabe, thanks for your help
with our Adolla Burst observations.
Copy !req
240. This will be a simulated battle test,
if you'd be so kind.
Copy !req
241. This cold, empty room...
Copy !req
242. makes me feel like I'm having
chills right down to my soul.
Copy !req
243. When I think of how they're
treating me like a lab rat,
Copy !req
244. my humanity just melts away.
Copy !req
245. Until nothing but my weird tic remains.
Copy !req
246. I look forward to working with you today.
Copy !req
247. Let's make this a fun experiment.
Copy !req
248. I will never forget that look—
like he's staring down his prey.
Copy !req
249. He really is here.
Copy !req
250. I remember you. I used to
catch glimpses of you around here.
Copy !req
251. I wish I could have played
with you back then.
Copy !req
252. Now you've become a fine man.
Copy !req
253. I wanted to devour you when
you were still spindly and pasty.
Copy !req
254. Why didn't they let me have at you
when you were a child?
Copy !req
255. You're about the same height
as me now, aren't you?
Copy !req
256. Although, you still seem plenty weak.
Copy !req
257. You have a fully grown-up strength now.
Why can't boys just stay weak?
Copy !req
258. Can I get started?
Copy !req
259. Yeah. Kusakabe-kun, you, too.
Copy !req
260. I'm going to kick that bastard's ass.
Copy !req
261. His tephrosis is severe. Should he really
be spreading that much black smoke?
Copy !req
262. Right Hand Eclipse!
Copy !req
263. "Right Hand Eclipse"
Copy !req
264. What just happened?
The fist he swung didn't even hit me.
Copy !req
265. It wasn't that much of a right, either.
Did anything touch me?
Copy !req
266. If I had to say...
Copy !req
267. it was the black smoke.
Copy !req
268. Whatever the case, I can't deal with it
until I know what's causing it.
Copy !req
269. I can't just keep taking those.
But I do have my speed. I'll use my Rapid!
Copy !req
270. He reacted to that?
Copy !req
271. No, let me go again!
Copy !req
272. How can he react to Shinra-kun's Rapid
if this is the first time he's seeing it?
Copy !req
273. You're abusing the children here, aren't you?
Copy !req
274. There's no way I'll let you do that!
Copy !req
275. Shinra-kun, show us more
of that Adolla Burst!
Copy !req
276. Shut up! I will! When I kick all of your asses
on the other side of that glass!
Copy !req
277. Th-That's terrifying.
Copy !req
278. What the hell is that black smoke?
Copy !req
279. I'm not trying to hide it.
And even once I tell you,
Copy !req
280. there's still no way you can deal with it.
Copy !req
281. This black smoke links with my senses,
Copy !req
282. allowing me to sense minute fluctuations.
Copy !req
283. That's how I reacted to your speed attacks.
Copy !req
284. Also, knocking children around
is fun. They get good air.
Copy !req
285. Would you like to give it a try?
Copy !req
286. S-Screw you!
Copy !req
287. I'll hit him with so many chained attacks
that he can't react!
Copy !req
288. His firepower is increasing with every spin.
Copy !req
289. Good! Keep it up! Keep it up!
Copy !req
290. His smoke is solidifying!
Copy !req
291. Eclipse Veil!
Copy !req
292. "Eclipse Veil"
Copy !req
293. He gathered the smoke
together to make weapons?
Copy !req
294. You still have some fight left, right?
Copy !req
295. Though it would be perfect
if you broke down after that much.
Copy !req
296. Kurono-kun, that's all for today!
We've collected plenty of data!
Copy !req
297. —Hold on, what is he doing?
—120... 130... Room temperature is rising.
Copy !req
298. But then, the more I weaken you,
the more I get into this.
Copy !req
299. We'll keep going.
Copy !req
300. I'm going to enjoy this.
Copy !req
301. "To be continued"
Copy !req
302. "Fire Force, Season 2"
Copy !req
303. "Next time"
Copy !req
304. The researchers rush into
the chaotic test site.
Copy !req
305. Something about Nataku-san has changed?
Copy !req
306. A strange lady stands in the way of the 8th,
Copy !req
307. and on top of all that,
the White-Clad show up!
Copy !req
308. What's going to happen now?
Copy !req
309. Fire...!
Copy !req
310. "Episode 15:
A Three-Way Melee"
Copy !req
311. Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
episode 15, "A Three-Way Melee."
Copy !req
312. Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
Copy !req
