1. Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
Copy !req
2. But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
Copy !req
3. is death by fire.
Copy !req
4. "Testing Area"
Copy !req
5. Come to the special care room!
Copy !req
6. Something unusual is happening to Nataku Son!
Copy !req
7. I-It's hot! My right arm is hot!
Copy !req
8. Is that...?
Copy !req
9. Fire...!
Copy !req
10. We're observing an Adolla Burst from
Nataku Son in the special care room?
Copy !req
11. Nataku Son? So he really is here.
Copy !req
12. This is a classified matter.
Copy !req
13. It's not something to be
discussed with outsiders.
Copy !req
14. —Kurono-kun, the experiment is on hold!
Copy !req
15. —So the Sixth Pillar's
Adolla Burst has awakened.
—Kurono-kun, the experiment is on hold!
Copy !req
16. Then did Shinra-kun's Adolla Burst
end up being the trigger?
Copy !req
17. Come in.
Copy !req
18. Captain Obi, do you read me?
Copy !req
19. The situation has taken a turn.
Copy !req
20. Wha—?
Copy !req
21. Shinra and Licht are in trouble! Hurry, Vulcan!
Copy !req
22. If anything happens to those two,
you'll pay, Haijima!
Copy !req
23. This is war, you dumb bastards!
Copy !req
24. A Matchbox has broken through!
Copy !req
25. We're currently tracking down whose it is!
Copy !req
26. That was fast. I haven't even
told them anything yet.
Copy !req
27. "Episode 15:
A Three-Way Melee"
Copy !req
28. What's going on in there?
Copy !req
29. The temperature inside the room
is continuing to rise.
Copy !req
30. What are those two doing?
Copy !req
31. We're still reading them,
but there's been no change.
Copy !req
32. I won't let them kill you.
I promise, I'll protect you.
Copy !req
33. Inspector Licht, even if you are a Haijima spy,
Copy !req
34. you've still saved me time and again.
Copy !req
35. You're someone we definitely need at the 8th.
Copy !req
36. They don't hesitate to
risk their lives for their friends.
Copy !req
37. So this is what the 8th is.
Copy !req
38. It's the strangest thing.
Maybe I've been there too long,
Copy !req
39. —The speakers are still connected, right?
—but they seem to be rubbing off on me.
I'll go along with this.
Copy !req
40. —Yes, they should still be working.
—but they seem to be rubbing off on me.
I'll go along with this.
Copy !req
41. All right...
Copy !req
42. Kurono-kun, the test is canceled!
Head over to where Nataku-kun is!
Copy !req
43. "Open"
"Testing Area"
Copy !req
44. —What are you doing?
—Shinra-kun,
Copy !req
45. there's no need to play along
with the experiment anymore!
Copy !req
46. Let's get out of here!
Copy !req
47. Why, you!
Copy !req
48. I won't be outdone in a nerd fight!
Copy !req
49. Nab him!
Copy !req
50. Licht-san!
Copy !req
51. Nataku Son is here after all. It sounds like
his Adolla Burst has awakened.
Copy !req
52. I knew they were hiding something!
Copy !req
53. That cry for help through
my Adolla Link was for real!
Copy !req
54. The 8th will safeguard Nataku!
Copy !req
55. What's all the commotion?
Copy !req
56. The 8th has broken in! You have to
keep Nataku-kun from them!
Copy !req
57. The Fire Force, huh? There are probably
some weaklings among them.
Copy !req
58. I'm going to take on the weaker ones first.
Copy !req
59. Where are Shinra and Licht?
Copy !req
60. Vulcan, eyes forward.
Copy !req
61. It's just a little doll, isn't it?
Copy !req
62. I'll run right over it!
Copy !req
63. Spider Wire on!
Copy !req
64. Is everyone okay?
Copy !req
65. What's that now?
Copy !req
66. Hostile object spotted. Countering with Tekkyo.
Copy !req
67. Don't tell me that thing did all that!
Copy !req
68. What do you mean?
Copy !req
69. That's what flipped the Matchbox over.
Copy !req
70. How can it be so powerful at that size?
Copy !req
71. What the hell kind of generators
are Haijima using?
Copy !req
72. Ah, wait! Look at where those cables lead!
Copy !req
73. Oh, my, what brings you here?
Copy !req
74. I've been tasked with watching the children,
since they're scared of Kurono,
Copy !req
75. and now I get to teach
the Fire Force some manners, too?
Copy !req
76. Do you know what this angel
belt buckle means? It means I'm a nice lady.
Copy !req
77. Maki-san, I'll back you up!
Copy !req
78. I'm not about to be bested by any Haijima mech!
Copy !req
79. Dominions, let's play with
our bigger friends now!
Copy !req
80. Where is Nataku?
Copy !req
81. They said he was in the special care room.
Copy !req
82. Secure Nataku Son at once!
Copy !req
83. —Shinra-kun...
—Right.
Copy !req
84. Looks like he's that way!
Copy !req
85. Whoa...
Copy !req
86. You shouldn't do that to
the nice security guards, you know.
Copy !req
87. L-Let... Let me go!
Copy !req
88. You're too late.
Copy !req
89. Sputter! Flare!
Copy !req
90. Boom!
Copy !req
91. They got deflected?
Copy !req
92. One more time!
Copy !req
93. They got fired on?
Copy !req
94. Hit them one more time with a Poot-Poot Blaster!
Copy !req
95. —Poot-Poot Blaster?
—Poot-Poot Blaster?
Copy !req
96. "Pbbt"
Copy !req
97. How lowbrow. I definitely
don't want to get hit by that.
Copy !req
98. Oh, the children love that one.
Copy !req
99. Don't you Fire Soldiers,
the heroes of children, know that?
Copy !req
100. Dominions and I raced here
to put smiles on the children's faces.
Copy !req
101. Please don't spoil the children's day of fun.
Copy !req
102. We know that you Haijima people
mistreat the children!
Copy !req
103. "Day of fun" my ass! Screw that!
Copy !req
104. What's the name of that mech you made?
Copy !req
105. What?
Copy !req
106. I asked what their name is.
Copy !req
107. The Twin Hover Units, Tekkyo!
Copy !req
108. The what? Too hard to follow.
Copy !req
109. What? What are you talking about?
Copy !req
110. That's too hard for the children to understand.
Copy !req
111. Hmm, let's see...
Copy !req
112. If it were up to me, going by
the way they look, I'd call them...
Copy !req
113. "Caterpillies."
Copy !req
114. That's adorable! I love it!
Copy !req
115. No way!
Copy !req
116. Why not?
Copy !req
117. You're the one who said they should
have an animal name, weren't you?
Copy !req
118. Maki-san, you just don't get it!
Copy !req
119. Giving a mech the name of a living thing
Copy !req
120. helps to lend the inorganic mech
a little more creature-istic...
Copy !req
121. what do you call it? Affinity?
That's the whole reason for the name!
Copy !req
122. But "Caterpillies" is out of the question!
It doesn't have enough character!
Copy !req
123. I want them to have some affinity,
but mech has to be mech!
Copy !req
124. The name has to have a certain detachment!
Copy !req
125. In that sense, the iron owl,
"Tekkyo" is the perfect name! It's cool!
Copy !req
126. Wow, what an obnoxious otaku.
Copy !req
127. —Mm-hmm.
—Huh?
Copy !req
128. Mech is about dreams! I don't
expect you to understand right off!
Copy !req
129. Anyone who calls a mech "that dude"
or "little guy" will never get it!
Copy !req
130. And anyone who gives a mech a girly name
like "cutie-pie" is simply a sicko!
Copy !req
131. A big pervert!
Copy !req
132. Where's the harm? If you give a mech
a cute name and treat it with love,
Copy !req
133. it's sure to respond in kind.
If you build a relationship of trust,
Copy !req
134. you'll find its performance to be even better.
Copy !req
135. That's a ridiculous way of thinking, Haijima!
Copy !req
136. You make it sound religious and gross.
Copy !req
137. Mech will always be mech! You can't
build a relationship of trust with them.
Copy !req
138. There's no telling when they will
break down and disappoint you.
Copy !req
139. That's why you can't neglect their maintenance.
Copy !req
140. People can disappoint you pretty easily, too.
Copy !req
141. Yeah, which is why
trusting in others is so necessary.
Copy !req
142. You've got this. We're going to
head out and rescue Shinra.
Copy !req
143. We at the 8th will never betray each other!
Copy !req
144. Now return our men to us!
Copy !req
145. You two don't seem to understand.
Copy !req
146. I don't treat mech as if they were people.
Copy !req
147. I'm saying that mech and people
are the same. Children especially so!
Copy !req
148. What do you mean?
Copy !req
149. If you amuse children, they're entertained,
Copy !req
150. and if you try to annoy them, they get upset.
Copy !req
151. Their actions are predictable.
I make them do as I please.
Copy !req
152. Mech and children are both
the instruments of adults.
Copy !req
153. She swatted them away like it was nothing.
Copy !req
154. Maki-san,
Copy !req
155. that woman is probably
a third generation pyrokinetic.
Copy !req
156. I don't see any other reason
Copy !req
157. how she gets that much power
out of such a tiny mech.
Copy !req
158. As long as she has the upper hand in power,
Copy !req
159. there's no point in taking her on like this.
Copy !req
160. But I can't let her get away with
thinking of children as tools!
Copy !req
161. I've collected enough data
on their Caterpillies.
Copy !req
162. Their power is stable and
their firepower is fairly constant.
Copy !req
163. You're a second generation pyrokinetic
who can control flames.
Copy !req
164. That means the edge in firepower
goes to my Dominions.
Copy !req
165. Do you have any ideas here?
Copy !req
166. Let's put everything into
a maximum-power shot with both Tekkyo!
Copy !req
167. I believe in you, Vulcan.
Copy !req
168. Dominions and I have this in the bag.
Copy !req
169. My goodness, there they go, running away.
Copy !req
170. Tekkyo switching to Fire Scene Mode!
Copy !req
171. Charge superthermal power!
Copy !req
172. Jet throttle circuits online.
Release of all ports complete!
Copy !req
173. Sanchin-style launch stance ready!
Copy !req
174. Twin unit coordinates locked!
Engaging maximum output!
Copy !req
175. Maximum thrust in three... two... one...
Copy !req
176. Judging by this data and configuration,
Copy !req
177. I can pretty well guess their critical power.
Copy !req
178. And sure enough, Dominions and I
are still home free!
Copy !req
179. In all my time watching children,
I've never once been surprised,
Copy !req
180. and you two are just like my children—
you're absolutely predictable.
Copy !req
181. Dominions, get set with a Poot-Poot!
Copy !req
182. Critical power reached! Let's do this!
Copy !req
183. Tekkyo, maximum output!
Copy !req
184. 90... 100... Better than I expected,
but still not good enough.
Copy !req
185. Violent-but-Deadly Poot-Poot Blaster!
Copy !req
186. That's it! Keep on coming, and get blown away!
Copy !req
187. Sputter! Flare! Hang in there!
Copy !req
188. Power output 100... 110... 120...
Copy !req
189. It's still climbing?
Copy !req
190. 150?
Copy !req
191. Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
192. It's not a mech you're facing; it's people!
Copy !req
193. I can't let Vulcan's mech lose.
Copy !req
194. Where was that mech hiding that much power?
Copy !req
195. That was awesome, Maki-san!
Copy !req
196. Tekkyo, you did well, too!
Copy !req
197. If you had lost, you both
would have been blown away.
Copy !req
198. I can't believe you would fight so recklessly.
Copy !req
199. Are you saying you figured on
things turning out like this?
Copy !req
200. We didn't figure on anything. It was trust.
Copy !req
201. Yeah, she's right. Going by
the numbers, it was impossible.
Copy !req
202. But I trusted that when Maki-san gets fired up,
Copy !req
203. she can deliver performance
beyond the numbers!
Copy !req
204. I also believed in your plan
and the Tekkyo, Vulcan.
Copy !req
205. Wow... I'm a little bit surprised.
Copy !req
206. Let's catch up to the others.
Copy !req
207. Right. Let's hurry.
Copy !req
208. Just a second! Playtime isn't over yet!
Copy !req
209. What makes you think you've beat me?
Copy !req
210. You're kidding, right?
Copy !req
211. We had that much trouble with just one of them!
Copy !req
212. Why did you think it was just one?
Copy !req
213. I told you, their name is Dominions, right?
Copy !req
214. Licht, where are you?
Copy !req
215. Licht, come in!
Copy !req
216. We're in the special care room.
Copy !req
217. Currently engaging Haijima staff in combat.
Copy !req
218. What does the building look like?
Copy !req
219. I'm sorry, but the thing is...
Copy !req
220. visibility is poor...
Copy !req
221. Visibility is poor?
Copy !req
222. Northwest from the...
Copy !req
223. gate...
Copy !req
224. Shinra! Licht!
Copy !req
225. Black smoke?
Copy !req
226. Licht-san, keep back!
Copy !req
227. Out of my way. Let me at
the weak-looking guy behind you.
Copy !req
228. Captain!
Copy !req
229. Licht-san, go join the captain.
Copy !req
230. Shinra, Licht, are you both okay?
Copy !req
231. Captain, we found Nataku, but he's
being safeguarded by Haijima staff.
Copy !req
232. So you're crewmen from the 8th?
Copy !req
233. Let me go! I haven't done anything!
Copy !req
234. Not doing anything won't cut it!
Unless you get fired up, it won't... cut... it!
Copy !req
235. You've got this! I know you do!
Copy !req
236. Your child abuse is
clear to see! Let the boy go!
Copy !req
237. Abuse, maybe, but it's my job.
Copy !req
238. Iris, keep back!
Copy !req
239. So the Fire Force has weaklings
like that in their ranks?
Copy !req
240. —What was that?
—Iris, don't inhale it!
Copy !req
241. Captain Guard!
Copy !req
242. Trying to protect the weak is a waste of time.
Copy !req
243. Don't you have any shame?
Copy !req
244. "Spare the strong and quash the weak."
"Let the world be as such."
Copy !req
245. That is my thinking.
Copy !req
246. Everyone is right here.
Copy !req
247. Just as I predicted, Sixth Pillar located!
Copy !req
248. There he is.
Copy !req
249. Which one's the Sixth Pillar?
Copy !req
250. Charon, what are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be with Haumea?
Copy !req
251. I really am supposed to be, actually.
Copy !req
252. Pillars and their protectors are a set.
Copy !req
253. But Haumea got too annoyed at me,
and told me to get lost.
Copy !req
254. Yeah, I get that. I went through
a period like that with my father.
Copy !req
255. Come to think of it, he died during that period.
Copy !req
256. Do all girls your age go through
this sort of thing? Well, shoot.
Copy !req
257. That doesn't mean you had to
come with me, though.
Copy !req
258. You could have just been quiet and stood by.
Copy !req
259. Inca, are you treating me like a pest, too?
Copy !req
260. Yes she is, Charon-san.
Copy !req
261. I am here to keep Miss Inca safe.
Copy !req
262. Me, her protector maid.
Copy !req
263. We're both protectors here, so let's just
get along and guard the Pillar, Ritsu.
Copy !req
264. Silence, Char-oaf.
Only my master gives me orders.
Copy !req
265. Ch-Char-oaf?
Copy !req
266. Fine. Ritsu, you take Inca.
Which one is the next Pillar?
Copy !req
267. The kid being carried in that guy's arm.
Copy !req
268. Things are about to get fun again.
Copy !req
269. Let's recover him.
Copy !req
270. Stop treating him so rough!
Copy !req
271. I'm warning you—you stronger ones,
leave the weak here and go!
Copy !req
272. Not you!
Copy !req
273. The Sixth Pillar is ours!
Copy !req
274. No reaction?
Copy !req
275. CLAP!
Copy !req
276. —Grab the Sixth Pillar!
—Right!
Copy !req
277. Wah! L-Let go of me!
Copy !req
278. H-Help!
Copy !req
279. The White-Clad, here?
Copy !req
280. And a body that blades can't hurt?
Copy !req
281. What exactly is going on here?
Copy !req
282. There you are again, Charon!
Copy !req
283. We meet again, fire-rat.
I'm here for the Sixth Pillar.
Copy !req
284. How did you know there would
be an Adolla Burst here?
Copy !req
285. Don't tell me it was Inca!
Copy !req
286. Hello!
Copy !req
287. You!
Copy !req
288. Let's watch a whole bunch of
people die again together!
Copy !req
289. It's dangerous to stand that far forward.
Copy !req
290. Ritsu, you worry too much.
Copy !req
291. It doesn't do any good
to worry over such little things.
Copy !req
292. There, you see?
There's danger all over the place.
Copy !req
293. How are we supposed to
take on this many of them?
Copy !req
294. All we can really do now is run.
Copy !req
295. Oh, don't be like that. Let's enjoy
this puppet show together.
Copy !req
296. Wow!
Copy !req
297. Ah! Look what you did to my Dominions!
Copy !req
298. Haijima-made stuff sure is fragile, huh?
Copy !req
299. If I could have sniped them from a distance,
Copy !req
300. we wouldn't have had to expose you
to danger by coming so close.
Copy !req
301. Today, you're protecting me
instead of our precious Sho-kun,
Copy !req
302. Arrow.
Copy !req
303. White-Clad?
Copy !req
304. That electricity-user is bad news.
Copy !req
305. We need to get Arthur,
or it will get ugly for us.
Copy !req
306. Well, shucks. She destroyed them
like it was child's play.
Copy !req
307. And in the middle of a children's play, too.
Copy !req
308. We've come for Nataku, the Sixth Pillar.
We won't let anyone stand in our way.
Copy !req
309. That's why I took those things
out ahead of time.
Copy !req
310. It's a very big no-no
to break other people's things.
Copy !req
311. You're a naughty little girl.
Copy !req
312. O-ho, I think the old biddy is about to snap.
Copy !req
313. Arrow, you say something to zing her, too.
Copy !req
314. I'll handle things here.
Vulcan, you go get Arthur.
Copy !req
315. I'll leave the Tekkyo here.
Copy !req
316. It's going to take a little more time
to cool down before they can restart.
Copy !req
317. It looks like playtime is at an end.
Copy !req
318. This calls for some painful discipline.
Copy !req
319. Come on, punisher Dominion!
Copy !req
320. It's stretched out all over!
Copy !req
321. "To be continued"
Copy !req
322. "Fire Force, Season 2"
Copy !req
323. "Next time"
Copy !req
324. As the battle between the 8th,
Haijima, and the White-Clad unfolds,
Copy !req
325. Ritsu's ability places Nataku-san
in a dire situation.
Copy !req
326. Isn't this a little bit too dangerous?
Copy !req
327. Time for a new job.
Copy !req
328. Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
episode 16, "Mind Blown."
Copy !req
329. "Episode 16:
Mind Blown"
Copy !req
330. Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.
Copy !req
