1. Shinra, tell me everything Dr. Giovanni
said to you in the Nether.Copy !req
2. Yes, sir.Copy !req
3. An Adolla Link...Copy !req
4. is a phenomenon that supposedly
only happens among thoseCopy !req
5. who have an Adolla Burst,
or who have been in contact with Adolla.Copy !req
6. Shinra-kun has connected via
an Adolla Link to Dr. Giovanni,Copy !req
7. as well as...Copy !req
8. Lieutenant Konro, of the 7th.Copy !req
9. Then this man Konro is questionable.Copy !req
10. No, there's no way!Copy !req
11. Discussing Lieutenant Konro here
will get us nowhere.Copy !req
12. I'm going to go over to the 7th
and meet with the lieutenant.Copy !req
13. If I can find out the reason why
I Linked with the lieutenant,Copy !req
14. we might be one step closer to the Evangelist.Copy !req
15. I'm off to see Lieutenant Konro!Copy !req
16. Step right up! Buy one now,
and I'll throw in another one for free!Copy !req
17. Asakusa is nice and bustling.Copy !req
18. Are you sure we should be dropping in
without an appointment?Copy !req
19. The people at the 7th can't stand
to sweat the small stuff.Copy !req
20. Actually,Copy !req
21. why are you even coming along, Captain Hibana?Copy !req
22. Konro could have ties to the Evangelist.Copy !req
23. You're too nice to others,
and get fooled easily.Copy !req
24. I'm telling you, as far as
Lieutenant Konro goes, he's on the level.Copy !req
25. Oh, the fella from the 8th.
What brings you here today?Copy !req
26. There's something I need to
talk to Lieutenant Konro about.Copy !req
27. Well, he's not here.Copy !req
28. He went to a storage shed
just outside of town on his own.Copy !req
29. Okay, I'll go check there for him.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
30. By the way,Copy !req
31. you hound dog, bringing such
a hottie along with you!Copy !req
32. Is she your girlfriend?Copy !req
33. Girlfriend?Copy !req
34. No, she's not! This is the captain of the 5th!Copy !req
35. Captain?Copy !req
36. Girlfriend...Copy !req
37. She really doesn't look like she'd object.Copy !req
38. The lieutenant is going off on his own
to a storage shed with no one else around...Copy !req
39. This is getting more and more suspicious.Copy !req
40. He must be running some errand.Copy !req
41. This is a proto-nationalist
we're dealing with, too.Copy !req
42. There's no telling what he might be up to.Copy !req
43. Hold on.Copy !req
44. A White-Clad?Copy !req
45. There, you see?Copy !req
46. You've been following me for days now, huh?Copy !req
47. Ho, you knew, and still came here alone?Copy !req
48. You, a warrior who can't fight
due to your tephrosis!Copy !req
49. If we're doing this, then let's do it already.Copy !req
50. "Episode 23:
Firecat"Copy !req
51. Lieutenant Konro...!Copy !req
52. He's getting attacked!
We have to hurry and save him!Copy !req
53. Don't be too hasty! This is our chance
to catch him in the act!Copy !req
54. Whoa!Copy !req
55. Lieutenant Konro has tephrosis!Copy !req
56. Lieutenant of the 7th, you are dead!Copy !req
57. Lieutenant Konro!Copy !req
58. Shinra?Copy !req
59. So what you're saying is,Copy !req
60. you and I shared one of
these "Adolla Link" things?Copy !req
61. Yes.Copy !req
62. Do you have any idea why? Have you ever
seen a hellish, alternate world?Copy !req
63. I sure have.Copy !req
64. Two years ago, during the Great Fire of Asakusa.Copy !req
65. The one where that demon appeared in Asakusa?Copy !req
66. Yeah. This is when I
came down with my tephrosis.Copy !req
67. This Infernal was unlike any other.Copy !req
68. Almost like a mirror image of myself.Copy !req
69. Are you trying to replace me?Copy !req
70. Sorry, but you can't do that.Copy !req
71. Crimson Moon!Copy !req
72. I'll see you in hell!Copy !req
73. If that was some other world,
then it would mean I had an Adolla Link.Copy !req
74. You say the demon felt like your
mirror reflection? Like a doppelganger?Copy !req
75. What's a doppelganger?Copy !req
76. It's like a double of a person.Copy !req
77. There's sort of an urban legend that saysCopy !req
78. there's someone who looks exactly like you,
somewhere in the world.Copy !req
79. It's nothing more than a ghost story, of course,Copy !req
80. but apparently, if you run into your
doppelganger, it's either kill or be killed.Copy !req
81. Yikes!Copy !req
82. It did in fact seem like he came to kill me.Copy !req
83. And since you killed him instead,
that makes you one hard-as-nails man.Copy !req
84. That's our Lieutenant Konro, all right.Copy !req
85. Don't be ridiculous.Copy !req
86. I think I'm going to check into
doppelgangers a bit more.Copy !req
87. As a sophisticated lady, you're pretty smart.Copy !req
88. But why would they come after me?Copy !req
89. Could it have something to do with
the fact that you've seen Adolla?Copy !req
90. Or your scar...Copy !req
91. It seems like those who see Adolla
tend to get some kind of disfigurement.Copy !req
92. So that goes for the others, too...Copy !req
93. Still, why would they?Copy !req
94. Could it be inconvenient for themCopy !req
95. for there to be others who have seen Adolla?Copy !req
96. What? Konro, you got attacked?Copy !req
97. He was lurking around for so long,Copy !req
98. I figured he wouldn't
show himself until I was alone.Copy !req
99. It was amazing! He defeated him in one blow,
without even using his abilities—Copy !req
100. What did you do that
out of the blue for, you idiot?Copy !req
101. You avoided that.Copy !req
102. You did teach me how to detect
the breath of life, Captain Shinmon.Copy !req
103. Which means that you can now fight decently.Copy !req
104. Still, the White-Clad are starting to
become more forceful, too.Copy !req
105. They have some people that
my Rapid and Corna won't work against.Copy !req
106. Captain Shinmon, how would you
fight against someone like that?Copy !req
107. You might be able to pull it off now...Copy !req
108. I would use the Hysterical Strength
of the Fight or Flight Response.Copy !req
109. Hysterical Strength?Copy !req
110. When you're on the verge of a crisis,Copy !req
111. and you overcome your limits
to release all of your latent strength,Copy !req
112. it's called Hysterical Strength.Copy !req
113. H-How is it done?Copy !req
114. Hell if I know. You figure it out.Copy !req
115. Waka, you can't say that when
you're the one who brought it up.Copy !req
116. Go round up the youngsters from your company.Copy !req
117. I don't want to have to
teach this over and over.Copy !req
118. Lucky you! Waka is agreeing to
give you his personal instruction again!Copy !req
119. Thank you very much, sir!Copy !req
120. I promise you, I'll get even stronger!Copy !req
121. The Knight-samurai deigns
to return to Asakusa once more.Copy !req
122. You sure you don't want to be
the Samurai-knight?Copy !req
123. This way means you're a samurai.Copy !req
124. Let's cut the nonsense! Forward, men!Copy !req
125. Pardon the intrusion.Copy !req
126. You're early. Is showing up
ahead of time the imperial way?Copy !req
127. It's you and top-knot head again, then?Copy !req
128. Actually, there's one more with us today.Copy !req
129. I'm Kotatsu Tamaki!Copy !req
130. Please train me, as well!Copy !req
131. You're here? You're too early.Copy !req
132. We're looking forward again
to whatever you can teach us.Copy !req
133. Hm? What's this? There's one more of you.Copy !req
134. I'm well aware that I'm not at the level
where I'm ready to receive your training.Copy !req
135. But I want to be someone other than
the weak person I am now.Copy !req
136. Would you allow me to at least observe?Copy !req
137. You want to get stronger?Copy !req
138. Yes, sir!Copy !req
139. And why is that?Copy !req
140. Because I'm so gutless right now
that I'm a burden on the other crewmen.Copy !req
141. If I were stronger, there are lives
that might have been spared.Copy !req
142. Is that a sob story?Copy !req
143. No, sir! It's remorse and resolve!Copy !req
144. I see. But merely observing is
likely to bore you out of your mind.Copy !req
145. Hey!Copy !req
146. —What is it, Waka?
—What is it, Waka?Copy !req
147. Go have some fun with that lady.Copy !req
148. —Who, that airhead?
—Who, that airhead?Copy !req
149. What do you want to play, trampy lady?Copy !req
150. And it better be fun,
or you'll pay, shameless lady.Copy !req
151. Huh? Huh? Kusakabe?Copy !req
152. Looking after those two is a handful.Copy !req
153. Tamaki, I'm going to see how strong you areCopy !req
154. by the way you play with Hikage and Hinata.Copy !req
155. Oh, okay.Copy !req
156. Kon-san, aren't you going to
watch the rookies from the 8th?Copy !req
157. I'll do that once I finish sweeping up in here.Copy !req
158. Oh, I'll do that. You go ahead and watch.Copy !req
159. It's my duty today. I don't mind.Copy !req
160. Waka says you gotta keep away
from both of us for one minute.Copy !req
161. We're gonna play tag.Copy !req
162. —Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
—Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!Copy !req
163. —All right, already.
—Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
—Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!Copy !req
164. Okay, I'll start running.Copy !req
165. Though I don't want to
run so fast it makes them cry.Copy !req
166. I'll just go nice and easy on them.Copy !req
167. Uh-oh, run!Copy !req
168. —Are you mocking us?
—Are you mocking us?Copy !req
169. Th-That hurt!Copy !req
170. —Run like you mean it, or we'll kill you!
—Run like you mean it, or we'll kill you!Copy !req
171. Damn it, all right, then.Copy !req
172. Girls shouldn't use
potty language like "damn it"!Copy !req
173. And if you talk down to us,
we'll dump you right in the Sumida River!Copy !req
174. You want me to run like I mean it, then?
Well, don't cry if you can't keep up!Copy !req
175. For heaven's sake, what is this?
I didn't come to Asakusa to play games.Copy !req
176. I want to catch up with Shinra and Arthur,
even just a little bit.Copy !req
177. Didn't we tell you not to hold back, you sow?Copy !req
178. Do you honestly not want to
get any stronger, you piece of crap?Copy !req
179. We're being nice enough to play with you.
Don't go getting the wrong idea.Copy !req
180. Are these girls that good?Copy !req
181. Guess we better get started, too.Copy !req
182. Please do, sir!Copy !req
183. Wow, haven't seen this in a while.Copy !req
184. What are you doing, sir?Copy !req
185. Not since it was Beni's turn.Copy !req
186. It's been a long time since
we've taken in a sight like this.Copy !req
187. Another peaceful day in Asakusa.Copy !req
188. Ow! That's too hot! Ow! Ow!Copy !req
189. —It's peaceful, all right.
—My clothes are burning!
My butt is sticking out!Copy !req
190. —Eight seconds! Nowhere near a minute!
—Eight seconds! Nowhere near a minute!Copy !req
191. Yeah, I know!Copy !req
192. But just watch this!Copy !req
193. I mean business now! Go on and catch me
if you can, you little brats!Copy !req
194. Hina, looks like she's finally gotten motivated.Copy !req
195. We should get going, too, Hika.Copy !req
196. Coming through!Copy !req
197. Woo-hoo!Copy !req
198. Don't blame me if your kimonos get burned!Copy !req
199. Wishful thinking! Five seconds!Copy !req
200. Five seconds? That's less than last time.Copy !req
201. This is her meaning business?
Don't make me laugh.Copy !req
202. I'm just getting started. Let's go again!Copy !req
203. Isn't a minute too long for her?Copy !req
204. Might as well make it 30 seconds.Copy !req
205. I'll show them.Copy !req
206. I'm a Fire Soldier.Copy !req
207. How is school going, Tamaki? Are you
going to get your sister certification?Copy !req
208. We're not a clerical family,
so there are a lot of tests,Copy !req
209. but the teacher says I'm doing fine.Copy !req
210. Don't get in over your head, now.Copy !req
211. It's just that because...Copy !req
212. Mama and Papa told me...Copy !req
213. Tamaki-san, good morning!Copy !req
214. Good morning.Copy !req
215. Ah, your badge!Copy !req
216. Yeah! I'm a sister now!Copy !req
217. I still have the written test and the interview
before I'm certified as a sister.Copy !req
218. Yeah, but you're smart,
so you'll do fine. Hang in there.Copy !req
219. —The Great Sol is watching your efforts.Copy !req
220. —And just because everyone else was doing it...
—The Great Sol is watching your efforts.Copy !req
221. Nya!Copy !req
222. Tamaki-san!Copy !req
223. but I kept tripping up for no reason.Copy !req
224. Are you all right? Easy, now...Copy !req
225. Is something wrong?Copy !req
226. There's fire coming from your bottom!Copy !req
227. Just because I started making flames...Copy !req
228. Damn! How long was that?Copy !req
229. Twelve seconds.Copy !req
230. One of your better times.Copy !req
231. Again!Copy !req
232. That's amazing, isn't it?
If you're a third generation,Copy !req
233. does that mean you're
going to be a Fire Soldier?Copy !req
234. A Fire Soldier sister? Now that's cool!Copy !req
235. If you do enlist, it will be at the 1st, right?Copy !req
236. The 1st, huh?Copy !req
237. Look there!Copy !req
238. Wow!Copy !req
239. It's Lieutenant Rekka Hoshimiya!Copy !req
240. He's so cool, isn't he?Copy !req
241. Young girl students! Don't just watch
from over there, come here!Copy !req
242. The 1st is fervently waiting for
fresh faces like you to enlist!Copy !req
243. Huh? What do we do?Copy !req
244. He spotted us!Copy !req
245. L-Let's get out of here!Copy !req
246. I looked up to Lieutenant Rekka,
the same way everyone else did.Copy !req
247. Just because... everyone else said so.Copy !req
248. Papa! Mama! I want to
become a sister and join the 1st!Copy !req
249. I became a Fire Soldier just because.Copy !req
250. I will stand by and see your end through!Copy !req
251. You're going to die in my place, Tamaki!Copy !req
252. Please, Kusakabe...Copy !req
253. Defeat Lieutenant Rekka.Copy !req
254. Leave him to me. That's why I'm here.Copy !req
255. I'll show them!Copy !req
256. Too bad!Copy !req
257. That was 18 seconds!Copy !req
258. I want to change!Copy !req
259. Hika...Copy !req
260. Hina...Copy !req
261. But I've just been carried along
by everyone else so far.Copy !req
262. I know it's not going to be
that easy for me to change.Copy !req
263. And everyone else is trying so hard...Copy !req
264. So then, so will I!Copy !req
265. I'm going to try harder, too!Copy !req
266. Thirty seconds left.Copy !req
267. We're gonna go all-out now, too.Copy !req
268. I swear I'm going to keep away from you.Copy !req
269. —Nya!
—Ow!Copy !req
270. S-Sorry!Copy !req
271. No, I should apologize.
My Lecher Lure strikes again.Copy !req
272. You know that boy you pounced on
earlier, right? He's my boyfriend.Copy !req
273. "Lecher Lure" my eye!
You did it on purpose, didn't you?Copy !req
274. You flirty little warthog!Copy !req
275. I'm sorry. But I really didn't do it on purpose.Copy !req
276. Go over and sit in the corner, you troublemaker!Copy !req
277. Still wearing twin tails in middle school, too.Copy !req
278. For a warthog, you sure are a flirt!
Hurry and get over there!Copy !req
279. Are twin tails supposed to be flirty?Copy !req
280. I like them—they're like floppy animal ears.Copy !req
281. Must be nice to be a cat.
They don't get lechered.Copy !req
282. I wish I could be...Copy !req
283. as quick as...Copy !req
284. a cat!Copy !req
285. Forty seconds! Not good, Hikage!
If she keeps this up, she'll get away from us!Copy !req
286. We're not gonna let her!Copy !req
287. They're catching up!Copy !req
288. And as nimble as a cat!Copy !req
289. Damn, 45 seconds!Copy !req
290. What are you sitting in the corner for?
Come on over here.Copy !req
291. If I sit over there, my Lecher Lure
will bother you, right?Copy !req
292. I'll sit in the corner. You go sit over there.Copy !req
293. It's okay. I'm used to it.Copy !req
294. I'm more used to sitting in the corner.
Give the "Devil" his due.Copy !req
295. "Slap"Copy !req
296. —Put me down!
—How does this happen?Copy !req
297. Look, I'll sit in the corner, okay?Copy !req
298. It's true, that is awkward as hell,Copy !req
299. but it doesn't mean you have to
consign yourself to the corner.Copy !req
300. I mean, look at that idiot.Copy !req
301. He's as low as they come, but he always
sits in the birthday boy's seat.Copy !req
302. Have a little self-respect, yourself.Copy !req
303. I'm done slinking off into the corner!Copy !req
304. Why did you come to a stop? Are you giving up?Copy !req
305. For these last ten seconds,
I'm not running away!Copy !req
306. I'm steamrolling through!Copy !req
307. Now she's coming after us.Copy !req
308. She might have actually gotten away, too!Copy !req
309. —Unite!
—Unite!Copy !req
310. —Mother Fox!
—Mother Fox!Copy !req
311. I'm gonna tear right through you!Copy !req

—Damn that woman! We're not done yet!Copy !req
315. That's 60 seconds. I don't know why,Copy !req
316. but there was some reason why
you were suppressing your own power.Copy !req
317. Captain Shinmon!Copy !req
318. But you've peeled that layer away, haven't you?Copy !req
319. Thank you very much!Copy !req
320. Nobody asked you to peel that much away.Copy !req
321. S-Sorry, sir!Copy !req
322. —Floozy!
—Floozy!Copy !req
323. Is a simple game of tag enough to
really change me that much?Copy !req
324. Anyone who can't take
a simple game this seriouslyCopy !req
325. doesn't stand a chance when
it comes to playing for keeps.Copy !req
326. Now, for the first time,
you've stood in the ring.Copy !req
327. Keep it up.Copy !req
328. Thank you very much, sir!Copy !req
329. What exactly are you doing
to yourself over there?Copy !req
330. Oh my...Copy !req
331. Captain Shinmon! Where did you go?Copy !req
332. You can't tell us you've forgotten about us!Copy !req
