1. Violet Flash!Copy !req
2. He avoided that?Copy !req
3. That one was pretty fast.
If I hadn't read your pheromones,Copy !req
4. I wouldn't have dodged you.Copy !req
5. You're so gross!Copy !req
6. Bombardier Beetle!Copy !req
7. Get off me, you idiot!Copy !req
8. —At least let me get out of the way!
—Ow... hot... hot...!Copy !req
9. Superheated gas. There's no escaping it.Copy !req
10. What are you all sneaking around
in the Nether about?Copy !req
11. Everything is ready.Copy !req
12. Our presence in the Nether
is only a matter of time now.Copy !req
13. What?Copy !req
14. The extinction of this world is imminent.Copy !req
15. Very shortly, the Pillars will be gathered,Copy !req
16. and the Evangelist's plan will be completed.Copy !req
17. We're going to put a stop to that plan!Copy !req
18. Haven't you discovered in your investigationsCopy !req
19. that the Tokyo Empire was created
by means of the Evangelist's plan?Copy !req
20. As were the Holy Sol Temple
and Amaterasu, all for this moment.Copy !req
21. It is mankind itself that wishes to
perish more than anything, isn't it?Copy !req
22. There is no stopping it now.Copy !req
23. You say that mankind wishes to perish?Copy !req
24. Our mission as Fire Soldiers is to
protect people's lives and property.Copy !req
25. Don't go deciding things for everyone!Copy !req
26. Are you saying that the Fire Force
will deprive humanity of its chanceCopy !req
27. to arrive at a higher plane
by passing through destruction?Copy !req
28. Well, no matter. You will find out soon enough.Copy !req
29. Just like your brother did.Copy !req
30. What?Copy !req
31. What happened to Sho?Copy !req
32. He is standing by quietly.
Almost as though he were a puppet.Copy !req
33. I've always wanted one of these—Copy !req
34. a doll as pretty as this one.Copy !req
35. Don't look away, Arrow.
You stand there quietly and watch.Copy !req
36. Watch as I play with my doll.Copy !req
37. "Episode 22:
Plot for Extinction"Copy !req
38. Where...Copy !req
39. is Sho right now?Copy !req
40. He is where the Pillars need to be,
prior to the coming of the Great Cataclysm.Copy !req
41. Your brother is on his
best behavior, unlike you.Copy !req
42. By now, he is probably Haumea's plaything.Copy !req
43. Even if you can read my mind, I just have to
move faster than you can react!Copy !req
44. No one is there. Did he vanish?Copy !req
45. I'm right here.Copy !req
46. Non!Copy !req
47. Such tremendous acceleration...Copy !req
48. It seems you do not intend to come with us.Copy !req
49. I once sensed the kind of bloodlust you possess.Copy !req
50. There's no way I'd ever trust anyone
with a heart as sinister as yours!Copy !req
51. Sensed?Copy !req
52. Then you and I were connected?
Via an Adolla Link?Copy !req
53. You're certain you heard my voice, right?Copy !req
54. Yeah! So what if I did?Copy !req
55. That's incredible! I'm so glad
you told me! Thank you! Thank you!Copy !req
56. You're saying that a mere human like me
connected to you through Adolla?Copy !req
57. Only those who are connected to Adolla
can undergo an Adolla Link!Copy !req
58. My Insect experiments!
This is the fruit borne of them!Copy !req
59. I have become closer to Adolla!Copy !req
60. Then are you saying that
I can't hear the voices of thoseCopy !req
61. who have never connected with Adolla?Copy !req
62. It stands to reason! An Adolla LinkCopy !req
63. can only be achieved between those
who have an Adolla Burst,Copy !req
64. or have been in contact with Adolla.Copy !req
65. Hold on. I've heard the voices of others
through an Adolla Link twice before.Copy !req
66. Once with Dr. Giovanni...Copy !req
67. Kill Vulcan.Copy !req
68. and the other time was...Copy !req
69. Shinra!Copy !req
70. with Lieutenant Konro.Copy !req
71. If you can't have an Adolla Link
without an Adolla Burst,Copy !req
72. then how did I hear Lieutenant Konro?Copy !req
73. Is something the matter?Copy !req
74. Shut up!Copy !req
75. The Evangelist resides
not in this world, but in Adolla.Copy !req
76. How are you going to stop the Evangelist,
who is in another world?Copy !req
77. I don't care if you can meddle with
the higher plane of Adolla,Copy !req
78. the most that you can do is peer into it.Copy !req
79. Are you saying it's impossible
for us to go to Adolla?Copy !req
80. How are you going to put the fire to rest
if you do not go to the scene, Fire Soldier?Copy !req
81. This world is doomed to do
nothing else but burn away now.Copy !req
82. We humans are nothing more than
the fuel in which this world will burn!Copy !req
83. Humanity has worshipped the sun.Copy !req
84. There is no way we will turn down
burning as brightly as the sun!Copy !req
85. Just as the Evangelist has
instilled upon us, right?Copy !req
86. Ritsu is getting everything ready now.Copy !req
87. Allow us to demonstrate now, at the onset,Copy !req
88. how people are implements of destruction.Copy !req
89. By utilizing the Nether,Copy !req
90. the Tokyo Empire on the surface
will be utterly destroyed.Copy !req
91. Demolition?Copy !req
92. Are you certain?Copy !req
93. Yes, it's most likely.Copy !req
94. The enemy intends to use
Infernals as a shaped charge.Copy !req
95. Shaped charge?Copy !req
96. From what I saw of the sensors
that Vulcan-kun showed me,Copy !req
97. the Infernals are positioned
in this conical arrangement.Copy !req
98. Is there some significance to this arrangement?Copy !req
99. The shaped charge used in demolitionCopy !req
100. employs a phenomenon known as
the Munroe-Neumann effect,Copy !req
101. which requires this sort of
cone-shaped explosive.Copy !req
102. When you line the interior of the explosive
with a thin metal lining, and then detonate it,Copy !req
103. the metal forms a jet forced by
the shockwave from the explosionCopy !req
104. straight up through the center of the cone.Copy !req
105. The metal flies up
utilizing the shock of the explosion,Copy !req
106. so that jet is powerful enough to blow
a hole through anything it hits.Copy !req
107. With Infernals standing in as explosives
to create that shaped charge,Copy !req
108. they are planning to use minimal firepower
to produce maximum damage.Copy !req
109. Geographically, we are at
the center of the Tokyo Empire.Copy !req
110. The damage will be enormous.Copy !req
111. So you're saying that if they perform
this demolition in the Nether...Copy !req
112. The Tokyo Empire will be laid to waste.Copy !req
113. Is there anything we can do to prevent it?Copy !req
114. I heard what was happening.Copy !req
115. I'm late getting back here because
the man behind me was dragging his feet.Copy !req
116. Detective Oze...Copy !req
117. I've memorized the entire layout
of the construction in the Nether.Copy !req
118. Is there anything I can do to help?Copy !req
119. The critical component of a shaped charge
is the direction of the jet.Copy !req
120. If that can be altered,
we may be able to get out of this.Copy !req
121. To do that, we'll need a second generationCopy !req
122. who can control flames over a wide area.Copy !req
123. Lieutenant Hinawa is
a master of pinpoint precision,Copy !req
124. so he is not suited to this kind of operation.Copy !req
125. Tch, you're useless.Copy !req
126. Hmm? Hey, hey, hey, hey!
This is no time for chewing the fat!Copy !req
127. They're about to explode!Copy !req
128. What do we do? Are there no other
second generation pyrokinetics?Copy !req
129. No second generations
who can affect a wide area.Copy !req
130. There's only one person I know of
who can pull off anything this freakish.Copy !req
131. First Class Fire Soldier Maki Oze—
oh, make that Secretary Oze—Copy !req
132. who, as I recall, you took
away from us, Detective—Copy !req
133. Ah! There's no point in talking about
people who aren't even here!Copy !req
134. We'll just have to do it with the
second generations we have on hand!Copy !req
135. Lieutenant Hinawa, give me a hand with this!Copy !req
136. I can't. I'm useless.Copy !req
137. Wha—?Copy !req
138. You toot your own horn
about putting lives first,Copy !req
139. but when it comes down to it,
the 8th is nothing more than a violent gang!Copy !req
140. We will manage something.
The 8th does put lives first.Copy !req
141. If we don't stop this, there will be
mass casualties on the surface.Copy !req
142. Vulcan!Copy !req
143. Right!Copy !req
144. When it comes to saving lives,
regulations be damned!Copy !req
145. Right...Copy !req
146. Maki-san?Copy !req
147. —Maki?
—Maki-san?Copy !req
148. S-Sorry I'm late!Copy !req
149. I'm up to speed on the situation, thanks to
the communicator I got from Vulcan.Copy !req
150. The 8th doesn't hold back
anything from each other.Copy !req
151. You're sure about this?Copy !req
152. —Yes, sir.
—What are you doing here?Copy !req
153. It's too dangerous!Copy !req
154. Are you still going on about that?Copy !req
155. Right now, saving lives comes first.Copy !req
156. That doesn't mean you have to
risk your life to do it!Copy !req
157. Why not? You're taking a risk
by coming down here, too!Copy !req
158. But you're a girl!Copy !req
159. So I can't stick my neck out
just because I'm female?Copy !req
160. Are you going to take me off
the front line, like Mom?Copy !req
161. I... am going to use my power
to keep people safe!Copy !req
162. Vulcan, let me know when!Copy !req
163. You got it. The explosion is near.
Just stand by as you are.Copy !req
164. Maki, there's still time! Hurry up and evacuate!Copy !req
165. —Maki!
—A moment, please!Copy !req
166. It's true that with Maki-san's help,
we can inhibit the shaped charge.Copy !req
167. But it will not stop the flames that
will be produced by the explosion!Copy !req
168. There is nowhere in the Nether
that will allow the flames to escape!Copy !req
169. Meaning?Copy !req
170. Meaning that those of us still in the Nether...Copy !req
171. are all about to be roasted to death!Copy !req
172. I hate to say!Copy !req
173. The way this is heading, we're all dead?Copy !req
174. What are you talking about, Licht?Copy !req
175. If we use Maki-san's ability
to control the directionCopy !req
176. of the Infernal-explosive shaped charge,Copy !req
177. we can prevent this facility and
the rest of Tokyo from being destroyed,Copy !req
178. but this is the Nether.Copy !req
179. There is nowhere for the flames
created by the explosion to go,Copy !req
180. so we're all going to burn to death
from the heat of the trapped flames!Copy !req
181. Except for Crewman Tamaki, who is heat tolerant.Copy !req
182. —Once again, I survive for no reason!
—Are you serious?Copy !req
183. —Once again, I survive for no reason!
—Oh, God...Copy !req
184. What do we do, then?Copy !req
185. We are Fire Soldiers!Copy !req
186. If this saves the lives of
all those people on the surface,Copy !req
187. then I'm okay with it.Copy !req
188. Vulcan, say when!Copy !req
189. Yeah, I'm on it!Copy !req
190. Is that all right, Captain Obi?Copy !req
191. Yeah. We'll find a way
to survive this on our own.Copy !req
192. I don't want to die, either, so I'm thinking...Copy !req
193. if we can find a place in the Nether
for the heat to escape through...Copy !req
194. But without any data,
this maze-like Nether is simply...Copy !req
195. For my job, I memorized the maps
of the Nether for the whole empire.Copy !req
196. If you include the caved-in facilities,Copy !req
197. then maybe there is enough space
for the heat to escape.Copy !req
198. True, if we knew enough about
the geography in here...Copy !req
199. As for the flames themselves,
there's geothermal dissipation...Copy !req
200. If we can use that...Copy !req
201. There's no time!Copy !req
202. I don't have time to explain,
so I'll tell you what to do!Copy !req
203. Brother...Copy !req
204. You just focus on
controlling the flames right now.Copy !req
205. You two being in sync will be crucial!Copy !req
206. You have to follow the Nether's
geography to where I tell you,Copy !req
207. and navigate Maki-san's flame control there!Copy !req
208. Got it!Copy !req
209. The sensors are picking something up!
Heat sources within 3km are spiking!Copy !req
210. Blow!Copy !req
211. It's started!Copy !req
212. First, please change the direction
of the shaped charge jet!Copy !req
213. If we can redirect the blast wave,
we can keep the facility from collapsing!Copy !req
214. Once the jet is redirected,
where should we lead the flames?Copy !req
215. Drive them down to the lower floors
as much as you can!Copy !req
216. Right!Copy !req
217. I can arrest the flames.
I won't let them have free rein.Copy !req
218. All the flames in the area...Copy !req
219. are under my control!Copy !req
220. This is only the beginning. The real
extermination of Tokyo is yet to come.Copy !req
221. Huh?Copy !req
222. Maki, I'll direct you, so you just
control them like I tell you to.Copy !req
223. Right.Copy !req
224. Flames can go through places
where people can no longer pass.Copy !req
225. Keep on directing the flames
to the deepest part of the Nether!Copy !req
226. If there's a point where the walls have
collapsed and bare earth is exposed...Copy !req
227. then we can avoid the flames' heat
through geothermic dissipation.Copy !req
228. Geothermic dissipation?Copy !req
229. We'll exploit the laws of nature
that keep the ground's temperatureCopy !req
230. at a constant 18 degrees.Copy !req
231. Oh, now I get it!Copy !req
232. —You hear that? We're chasing
the flames into the ground.
—Right!Copy !req
233. Keep on pushing the heat source into the ground!Copy !req
234. With brother and sister combining
their abilities with geothermal laws...Copy !req
235. over a long enough time,
the earth will cool off the flames for us!Copy !req
236. It looks like it worked.Copy !req
237. Hinawa,Copy !req
238. if Maki hadn't been here, we, along with
the rest of Tokyo, would be in a crater.Copy !req
239. Maki is a role model for all Fire Soldiers.Copy !req
240. She is someone absolutely essential at the 8th.Copy !req
241. Your judgment was right on the money.Copy !req
242. Did we make it?Copy !req
243. Brother,Copy !req
244. this is what my...Copy !req
245. this is what the 8th's job is.Copy !req
246. They failed?Copy !req
247. Failed? I don't know what you were plotting,Copy !req
248. but it looks like it was powerless
in the face of Fire Soldier teamwork.Copy !req
249. Hey, Arthur, let's show him our teamwork, too!Copy !req
250. "Non-self"Copy !req
251. Non-self...Copy !req
252. How did you...?Copy !req
253. Teamwork...?Copy !req
254. "Nirvana"Copy !req
255. Nirvana...Copy !req
256. I am delivered. You can no longer read my mind.Copy !req
257. My sword has attained
the realm of the bodhisattvas.Copy !req
258. No, you're just not thinking anything.Copy !req
259. That has nothing at all
to do with being a knight.Copy !req
260. Non-self: Without drawing the breath of life,
a life-taking blow is struck.Copy !req
261. This strike, delivered unawares
to even masters of breath-reading,Copy !req
262. imparts a truly fatal blow.Copy !req
263. Hmph, villain. Die now.Copy !req
264. You didn't even hesitate.Copy !req
265. So the 8th has a ruthless professional, does it?Copy !req
266. Perhaps I underestimated you
somewhat without realizing it.Copy !req
267. Insects?Copy !req
268. D-Damn it!Copy !req
269. Where's Giovanni?Copy !req
270. —Right here.
—No, dumb-ass, I mean his head!Copy !req
271. My research into the Insects
has been productive.Copy !req
272. I took part in an Adolla Link.Copy !req
273. We'll meet again.Copy !req
274. Have all of your men been accounted for?Copy !req
275. The damage was worse than I imagined.Copy !req
276. However, we're now aware of
just how dangerous the White-Clad are.Copy !req
277. If Crewman Oze hadn't been here,
the damage would have been far worse.Copy !req
278. Well, Brother?Copy !req
279. Do you understand my—
the 8th's work a little better now?Copy !req
280. Yeah, I guess.Copy !req
281. But he's no good! He only
thinks of you as a meat shield!Copy !req
282. Well, I guess it goes without saying now...Copy !req
283. but I want to return to the 8th.Copy !req
284. Indeed. Your ability is
better suited for the Fire Force.Copy !req
285. It's not just my ability;
my ambitions are a fit for the Fire Force!Copy !req
286. I see. I'll start the paperwork
to have you transferred back to the 8th.Copy !req
287. W-Were you testing me, sir?Copy !req
288. I was concerned with whether
a little princess like you...Copy !req
289. could fight against
the ever-more-radical White-Clad.Copy !req
290. You did well today.Copy !req
291. Thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
292. Hey! You keep away from the Oze family!Copy !req
293. The heat source readings have gone silent.
We're out of the woods now.Copy !req
294. Search for the remains of those
who have fallen in the line of duty.Copy !req
295. Find as many of them as you can.Copy !req
296. I will take the wounded and return with them...Copy !req
297. back to the surface.Copy !req
298. It sure is a relief to see the sun again.Copy !req
299. What Dr. Giovanni said bothers me.Copy !req
300. Only those who have an Adolla Burst
or have been connected to AdollaCopy !req
301. are capable of an Adolla Link?Copy !req
302. If that's true...Copy !req
303. He's more-or-less okay.Copy !req
304. He's lost his right hand and left leg,
and is burned and cut up from head to toe,Copy !req
305. but he's still alive. He's got
the will to live of a potato.Copy !req
306. You really did manage to hang in there...Copy !req
307. until you were dug up.Copy !req
308. Crewman Kotatsu, it's thanks to you
that Juggernaut survived.Copy !req
309. "Dramatic sting"Copy !req
310. Thank you.Copy !req
311. I'm the one who really got rescued.Copy !req
312. If it weren't for Platoon Leader Hajiki
and Crewman Noto, I...Copy !req
313. wouldn't be here right now...Copy !req
314. If we didn't have the 8th's help,
we might have all been wiped out.Copy !req
315. The military and the Fire Force
can't afford to be so disconnected.Copy !req
316. Tokyo has to unite.Copy !req
317. I truly am glad that we made it through this
without losing you young crewmen.Copy !req
318. Are you thinking about Maki?Copy !req
319. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
320. As of today, she has gone
back to the Fire Force.Copy !req
321. Are you still anxious about her?Copy !req
322. I want to let my daughter do as she wishes...Copy !req
323. but I'm still worried about her.Copy !req
324. Maki's ability is a super power
she got from her mother, after all.Copy !req
325. I'm not nearly that strong.Copy !req
326. Madoka-chan, when you quit the military
to become a homemaker,Copy !req
327. did you also feel discontent about it?Copy !req
328. It's all I can do to keep my own home safe.Copy !req
329. But Maki isn't like me.Copy !req
330. She may be our innocent,
adorable little daughter around us,Copy !req
331. but she has an incredibly
powerful strength and will.Copy !req
332. Oh yes, and she gets that from you.Copy !req
333. Let's watch over our daughter together.Copy !req
334. Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?Copy !req
335. "Platoon Leader"
"Maki Oze"Copy !req
336. At last, Maki-san has made platoon leader.Copy !req
337. Very impressive.Copy !req
338. When we don't even have a platoon?Copy !req
339. Meaning what?Copy !req
340. That nothing is different from before.Copy !req
341. Are you sure, 8th? You're okay with this?Copy !req
342. "Fish Beat"Copy !req
343. "Fish Beat"
"No squads, either"Copy !req
344. It's like the 8th is playing
Fire Force dress-up.Copy !req
345. It's nice and peaceful
when they're all idiots, huh?Copy !req
346. You're the one who recruited them.Copy !req
347. Still...Copy !req
348. they're the real deal.Copy !req
349. "To be continued"Copy !req
350. "Fire Force, Season 2"Copy !req
351. "Next time"Copy !req
352. I'll try harder, too!Copy !req
353. Next time on Fire Force, Season 2,
episode 23, "Firecat."Copy !req
354. "Episode 23:
Firecat"Copy !req
355. Return to the great flame of fire. Látom.Copy !req
