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. Whoa, wicked! We can see it now!
Copy !req
5. Awesome!
Copy !req
6. Wow!
Copy !req
7. So that land is Avalon, is it?
Copy !req
8. It's more like the empire
than I thought. Pretty idyllic, isn't it?
Copy !req
9. This brings back memories.
Copy !req
10. Oh yeah! I'm first!
Copy !req
11. —Yeah! We reached the new continent!
—Yeah! We reached the new continent!
Copy !req
12. We're still on the dock;
we haven't reached the home soil yet!
Copy !req
13. —Find some home soil!
—Find some home soil!
Copy !req
14. —Oh!
—It's soil!
Copy !req
15. Whoa, this is the soil of
another nation! Eat it, eat it!
Copy !req
16. Mm, yum.
Copy !req
17. Bleah! No it isn't! We can't eat this!
Copy !req
18. You guys are too hyped up.
Copy !req
19. Lieutenant Pan...
Copy !req
20. Yeah, this reminds me
of the training academy.
Copy !req
21. What kind of training academy?
Copy !req
22. "Knight King was here"
Copy !req
23. I'm going to the post to draw supplies.
Copy !req
24. I know we don't often get to go out of
the empire, but there's no time to waste.
Copy !req
25. I'll show you the way.
Copy !req
26. Takeru!
Copy !req
27. Ma! Ya came out to meet me?
Copy !req
28. You betcha. Muh son's done come home!
Copy !req
29. Who's this? Is this your mother, Noto?
Copy !req
30. She shore is. This here's muh mom.
Copy !req
31. I 'preciate ya lookin' after muh boy.
Copy !req
32. Well now, as long as she's here,
Copy !req
33. why don't you chat with your mom
until the supplies are ready?
Copy !req
34. Huh? Ya shore 'bout that?
Copy !req
35. Thank ya mightily!
Copy !req
36. Takeru, ya done gone at

Copy !req
37. Huh, ya reckon? Ma, is Pa still doin' okay?
Copy !req
38. Takeru, don'tcha go worryin' 'bout us none.
Copy !req
39. S'long's ya go to Tokyo,

Copy !req
40. and come on back home to us...
Copy !req
41. What's wrong, Ma? Ya look
like ya got the blues.
Copy !req
42. Oh, do I? Takeru, ya got'cher self
a mission, ain'tcha?
Copy !req
43. Never you fret.
Copy !req
44. Is somethin' the matter?
Copy !req
45. Y'all kin tell me!
Copy !req
46. Huh? Someone's done tore up the fields?
Copy !req
47. Yeah, just a mite.
Copy !req
48. But folks in the village
ain't got no reason to do this.
Copy !req
49. Who in tarnation'd do this?
Copy !req
50. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
51. Where are you headed to?
Copy !req
52. Someplace farther west.
Copy !req
53. I think we're headed toward a spatial rift.
Copy !req
54. "Destination"
Copy !req
55. Watch out for bandits on the road.
Also, once you leave here,
Copy !req
56. there's a strange gas in the air.
Copy !req
57. Gas?
Copy !req
58. This is the place where
we're heading to, right?
Copy !req
59. How come the whole continent
seems to be shifted here?
Copy !req
60. Juggernaut, lead the way.
Copy !req
61. Oh, yes, sir!
Copy !req
62. Sorry, Ma and Pa. Gotta go do muh mission.
Copy !req
63. Ain't no time to hunt down
the rascal's been wreckin' the fields.
Copy !req
64. Never ya mind. Takeru, you just
go 'bout doin' what ya gotta be doin'.
Copy !req
65. Do a proper job, now,
so's yer not draggin' the others down.
Copy !req
66. Mm-hmm, you betcha!
Copy !req
67. I'm a Fire Soldier, y'know.
Copy !req
68. We're heading out!
Copy !req
69. Next time ya come home,
bring back a purdy bride with ya.
Copy !req
70. A-A bride?
Copy !req
71. Here we go. Let's uncover
the Evangelist's secrets!
Copy !req
72. Okay then, please excuse us!
Copy !req
73. Y'all take care, now!
Copy !req
74. We'll be back later!
Copy !req
75. "Episode 7:
Road to the Oasis"
Copy !req
76. I told them to wear gas masks.
Copy !req
77. —Yeah!
—Yeah!
Copy !req
78. Hell yeah!
Copy !req
79. —Ho yeah!
—Ho yeah!
Copy !req
80. I mean, I did tell them.
Copy !req
81. That there's a gas prevalent around here
Copy !req
82. that is fast-acting and
acts like a stimulant.
Copy !req
83. —Hell yeah!
—Hell yeah!
Copy !req
84. You go, Juggernaut!
Copy !req
85. Ho! Ho! Ho!
Copy !req
86. Hello? Mama? I'm not coming home tonight!
Copy !req
87. Huh? Where am I staying?
There's no way I'm telling you!
Copy !req
88. I mean, I'm on the Chinese Peninsula!
This phone call's not getting through!
Copy !req
89. Woo-hoo! It's hot! If it's gonna be hot,
I'm gonna dance!
Copy !req
90. I clear my mind of
mundane thoughts, and I am cool.
Copy !req
91. Oh, hostile rocks sighted!
Copy !req
92. Preparing to intercept! Set!
Copy !req
93. Whirr! Clank!
Copy !req
94. Click! Fire!
Copy !req
95. Hostiles obliterated!
Copy !req
96. Yay!
Copy !req
97. It must be those underground gases
coming from those cracks in the surface.
Copy !req
98. Lieutenant Pan, do you
know what our mission is?
Copy !req
99. To find the cause of the
Great Cataclysm 200 years ago
Copy !req
100. and anything to do with Adolla Bursts
around that spatial rift, duh!
Copy !req
101. At least we're still clear about that much.
Copy !req
102. Of course we are.
Copy !req
103. Hey, you kids! Knock off that
stupid horsing around and behave!
Copy !req
104. —Yes, Sensei.
—Yes, Sensei.
Copy !req
105. Where are we heading right now?
Copy !req
106. To a location northwest of here.
Copy !req
107. We're heading to a place that
measures high in Adolla Bursts.
Copy !req
108. It will take a while to get there,
Copy !req
109. so please don't use up
your energy goofing around.
Copy !req
110. I hope we get there soon.
Copy !req
111. We might find some intelligence
connected to the Evangelist,
Copy !req
112. and how it relates to the 250-year-old
Great Cataclysm and Adolla Bursts.
Copy !req
113. Whoa, crap, what's that?
Copy !req
114. It's like that rock has been
watching us this whole time.
Copy !req
115. Tamaki, you freaked out?
Copy !req
116. No, I'm not!
Copy !req
117. It's too regular to have been
created by weathering.
Copy !req
118. No simple natural phenomenon
would make that happen.
Copy !req
119. Could the Adolla Bursts created by
the Great Cataclysm have affected it?
Copy !req
120. Wow, the turn of the century is terrifying!
Copy !req
121. I cleared my mind of
mundane thoughts, and now I'm cold.
Copy !req
122. Put a sock in it. There's still some time
before we get there, so go to sleep.
Copy !req
123. H-Help me!
Copy !req
124. What? I heard a voice coming from outside!
Copy !req
125. Huh?
Copy !req
126. Wh-What the—? Are you kidding me?
Am I tripping on gas and seeing things?
Copy !req
127. No, I'm stone cold sober, and I saw it, too.
Copy !req
128. Then, that voice I heard
asking for help came from that huge thing?
Copy !req
129. No! It was me!
Copy !req
130. Are you guys from the
Xinqing Dao base? Save me!
Copy !req
131. Whew, that was close. That's what happens
when you raid Giant Worm turf.
Copy !req
132. Hey, who said you could hop on?
You're one that thing is after!
Copy !req
133. Don't drag us into the middle of this!
Copy !req
134. Uh, wait, Ogun...
Copy !req
135. —That mole just talked!
—That mole just talked!
Copy !req
136. You abominable infernal familiar!
I'll feed you right to that earthworm!
Copy !req
137. Whoa! S-Stop!
Copy !req
138. A potato?
Copy !req
139. Judging by the feel, size, and smell...
Copy !req
140. there's no doubt about it.
This is one of our potatoes!
Copy !req
141. Are you the one who ruined
my family's field?
Copy !req
142. S-Spare me! This is your first time
in the area, right? I know it well!
Copy !req
143. If you'll let me, I'll get you
to your destination safely!
Copy !req
144. That is a whole different matter!
Copy !req
145. Pan-sensei, here it comes!
Copy !req
146. Watch my driving technique!
Copy !req
147. Sorry, this is too much!
Shinra, Ogun, do something!
Copy !req
148. Let's go, Ogun!
Copy !req
149. Just as I was getting bored, too!
Copy !req
150. Yoruba Spear!
Copy !req
151. Ogun, I'm gonna draw the earthworm away!
Copy !req
152. Yoruba Forge!
Copy !req
153. "Yoruba Forge"
Copy !req
154. Over here, you earthworm bastard!
Copy !req
155. This area is Giant Worm territory!
Copy !req
156. If don't move around carefully,
you'll get two or three of them attacking!
Copy !req
157. For that matter, where are you guys headed?
Copy !req
158. We're headed for a spatial rift.
Copy !req
159. Rift? Oh, I know that area well.
Copy !req
160. You know it?
Copy !req
161. Do I know it? That's where I—
Copy !req
162. That's where you guys are headed?
Copy !req
163. I anticipated a harsh environment here,
because of the Adolla Bursts,
Copy !req
164. but apparently, it's also a place where
animals speak our language, too.
Copy !req
165. That was an oasis for all of us.
Copy !req
166. If they hadn't have come there,
Copy !req
167. I wouldn't have had to steal these potatoes.
Copy !req
168. If you guys are going there, then so am I.
I want to take back the Oasis!
Copy !req
169. Monster earthworm,
you'll have to face Shinra-Man!
Copy !req
170. Hey, over here, you earthworm bastard!
Copy !req
171. Hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
172. Whoa!
Copy !req
173. We've gotten the earthworm
pretty far away from the others, huh?
Copy !req
174. Our diversion is a success!
Copy !req
175. It looks like the earthworm is giving up.
Copy !req
176. Nicely done. Get back here!
Copy !req
177. Now that we're here, we can relax.
Copy !req
178. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
179. He's a dirty potato-thieving mole!
Copy !req
180. What do you have to say for yourself?
Copy !req
181. I'm here from the Oasis further to the west.
Copy !req
182. Unlike this wilderness, it has both
plant life and water. A true paradise.
Copy !req
183. An oasis in a wasteland like this?
Copy !req
184. I find that hard to believe.
Copy !req
185. I had lots of friends there,
but they were all driven out of the Oasis.
Copy !req
186. Huh?
Copy !req
187. There are crows in this land, huh?
Copy !req
188. Ah, is that...?
Copy !req
189. Hey, Yata!
Copy !req
190. Hmm? You guys wait here.
Copy !req
191. Hey, Scop, who are these guys?
Copy !req
192. That crow is one of my
friends from the Oasis.
Copy !req
193. You're soldiers from Xinqing Dao?
We don't see you this far inland too often.
Copy !req
194. I went to borrow some potatoes
from there and got caught.
Copy !req
195. What are you, dense?
Copy !req
196. Stay underground the rest of
your life rather than get caught!
Copy !req
197. First a talking mole, now a talking crow.
Copy !req
198. Hey, we're Fire Soldiers!
Copy !req
199. Fire Soldiers?
Copy !req
200. What are your kind doing
all the way out here?
Copy !req
201. We're here on an investigation.
Copy !req
202. We can sort this out later.
We're camping here for the night.
Copy !req
203. While we won't have any
trouble making a fire,
Copy !req
204. it will be a pain if we wait until it's dark.
Copy !req
205. Hmm-hmm, toasted marshmallows!
Copy !req
206. You say you're going to the Oasis
to investigate Adolla Bursts?
Copy !req
207. That's what we're doing, all right.
Copy !req
208. Is the fact that you can speak
in our language due to Adolla, too?
Copy !req
209. Huh? No idea. Most, like the guys
behind us, can't speak.
Copy !req
210. How about you tell us more
about yourselves now?
Copy !req
211. You said you were driven out of the Oasis?
Copy !req
212. Yeah.
Copy !req
213. One day, a mysterious group just showed up.
Copy !req
214. Without a word, they started attacking
those of us who lived at the Oasis.
Copy !req
215. We've been chased out
of the Oasis ever since.
Copy !req
216. Which is why you ran out of food,
and went to steal those potatoes.
Copy !req
217. So that's what happened.
Copy !req
218. My head had gone from
vole-like to vociferous!
Copy !req
219. "Vole-like"
Copy !req
220. "Vociferous"
Copy !req
221. It sure gets dark without
any city lights, huh?
Copy !req
222. Yeah.
Copy !req
223. Hmm? Hey, look at that.
Copy !req
224. What are those lights?
Copy !req
225. Yeah, you're right. It was too bright
during the day to see them.
Copy !req
226. Over here, too. They're all over the place.
Copy !req
227. Awesome. This is so pretty.
Like stars scattered across the ground.
Copy !req
228. What are they, though?
Copy !req
229. I-Infernals?
Copy !req
230. Y-You mean, all of them?
Copy !req
231. You can see those? I can't see them at all
with my night blindness.
Copy !req
232. You have sharp eyes.
Copy !req
233. Those are Infernals, just like you said.
Copy !req
234. Some have been wandering around
since the Great Cataclysm 250 years ago.
Copy !req
235. Infernals don't die until they're put to rest.
I'd heard that before, but...
Copy !req
236. We need to hurry and put them to rest.
Copy !req
237. What, just us?
Copy !req
238. Forget it. There's too many of them.
Copy !req
239. I've heard the stories.
Over on your island across the sea,
Copy !req
240. you kill your Infernals, right?
Copy !req
241. Kill— Well, yeah.
Copy !req
242. Also the ground is unstable down there.
Copy !req
243. If you're careless, it'll crumble beneath you,
and you'll go face down into lava.
Copy !req
244. Give it up.
Copy !req
245. What's the deal with you guys, anyway?
Copy !req
246. Beats me. I don't know.
Copy !req
247. We never thought twice about what we were
Copy !req
248. until you humans came along
and considered us unusual.
Copy !req
249. Those are all Infernals...
Copy !req
250. And it's not just those people, either.
Copy !req
251. There are other Infernals
still burning throughout the world.
Copy !req
252. For their sake as well,
Copy !req
253. we have to find out the truth about
the Great Cataclysm and Adolla Bursts.
Copy !req
254. I'm going to go get Tamaki.
She can at least say a prayer for them.
Copy !req
255. The Oasis is just up ahead.
Copy !req
256. It's been an uneventful trip,
thanks to my navigation, right?
Copy !req
257. Do you trust me a little more now?
Copy !req
258. Trust hell. There's too much about
this area we just don't know about.
Copy !req
259. We'll take any help we can get,
moles and crows included.
Copy !req
260. Once you climb up that rock,
you can see the whole Oasis.
Copy !req
261. Aw...
Copy !req
262. We have to climb this?
Copy !req
263. Yeah, there's no way.
Copy !req
264. I'm going on ahead to see
what the situation is.
Copy !req
265. I'll go on ahead, too, sir.
Copy !req
266. Be careful.
Copy !req
267. Okay, let's go.
Copy !req
268. You're a human, and you can fly?
Copy !req
269. Hey, you with all the hair and the mask,
Copy !req
270. you don't have to worry about
the gas here, thanks to the Oasis.
Copy !req
271. Really?
Copy !req
272. You're right. Doesn't
seem to be an issue, huh?
Copy !req
273. —I'll bet you that we could
grow some great potatoes here.
Copy !req
274. —Again with the potatoes?
—I'll bet you that we could
grow some great potatoes here.
Copy !req
275. The breeze is pretty gentle around here.
Copy !req
276. Fly quietly, now.
Copy !req
277. Got it.
Copy !req
278. We'll look from behind here.
Be sure to stay low.
Copy !req
279. This area is the only one with plant life...
Copy !req
280. It is all thanks to the Tabernacle.
Copy !req
281. The Tabernacle?
Copy !req
282. You can see it over there, right?
Copy !req
283. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
284. —What's that doing here?
—You idiot! Stay low!
Copy !req
285. You know about the Tabernacle?
Copy !req
286. Do I know about it?
That's the keystone of the Tokyo Empire...
Copy !req
287. Amaterasu, isn't it?
What is it doing here?
Copy !req
288. There's no way I'd mistake that.
Copy !req
289. Hey, you'll draw attention! Crouch down!
Copy !req
290. That's something Vulcan's ancestors
were supposed to have built.
Copy !req
291. Shinra-kun is right.
Copy !req
292. It's a little bit smaller,
but that's Amaterasu.
Copy !req
293. Is it really Amaterasu?
Copy !req
294. Even if it isn't,
Copy !req
295. the fact that something identical to it
exists here is strange enough itself.
Copy !req
296. We'll need to get down there
and start investigating.
Copy !req
297. The Tabernacle is at the center of the Oasis.
I'll show you the way. Follow me.
Copy !req
298. There are man-made items here and there, huh?
Copy !req
299. Yeah. Over there, too.
Copy !req
300. There are a lot of things here from
the time before the Great Cataclysm.
Copy !req
301. These trees look perfectly healthy.
Copy !req
302. The Tabernacle is up ahead to the northwest.
Copy !req
303. Hey, if the Tabernacle
is the same as Amaterasu,
Copy !req
304. it means that the Tabernacle's energy source
is an Adolla Burst, right?
Copy !req
305. Is the Adolla Burst the reason why
all this nature has returned here?
Copy !req
306. Weren't Vulcan's ancestors the ones
who built Amaterasu in the first place?
Copy !req
307. History says that the Holy Sol Temple
and Vulcan-kun's ancestors built it,
Copy !req
308. but depending on whether
Tokyo's Amaterasu or this Tabernacle
Copy !req
309. was the first one built, that could change.
Copy !req
310. So there's a chance
the one in Tokyo came second.
Copy !req
311. Either way,
Copy !req
312. if this much of nature has been reborn
through the power of an Adolla Burst,
Copy !req
313. it means that they will be useful
in reviving the world, right?
Copy !req
314. Adolla Bursts really are
unsullied, sacred flames.
Copy !req
315. Or, on the other hand, they could be
the cause of the world's destruction.
Copy !req
316. We're getting close to
the center of the Oasis.
Copy !req
317. Hold up!
Copy !req
318. Look! We've arrived at a pillar.
These pillars surround the Tabernacle.
Copy !req
319. Then, we're almost there!
Copy !req
320. "Tabernacle"
"Pillar"Pillar"
Copy !req
321. But the area ahead is
also the bandits' territory.
Copy !req
322. Since our objective here is to investigate,
Copy !req
323. we'd like to avoid fighting if we can.
Copy !req
324. You can't possibly fight against this bunch!
Copy !req
325. He's right.
Copy !req
326. There's no reasoning with them.
Copy !req
327. Lieutenant Pan, we could be closing in
Copy !req
328. on the very core of the mystery
behind human combustion.
Copy !req
329. Even if Scop is right,
and we can't negotiate with this group,
Copy !req
330. we need to investigate,
even if it means by force.
Copy !req
331. Yeah! Yeah! You go, hero!
Copy !req
332. That's outside the scope of our mission.
Copy !req
333. We can't just rush in and
start fighting outside parties.
Copy !req
334. I won't let anyone stand in the way
of investigating the Great Cataclysm.
Copy !req
335. Are you starting again?
Copy !req
336. We can't just turn around
after coming this far!
Copy !req
337. I agree with Kusakabe, sir.
Copy !req
338. Of course we aren't going to.
But we are Fire Soldiers, not the military.
Copy !req
339. Combat will always be our last option.
Copy !req
340. We'll settle this by
peaceful negotiation if we can.
Copy !req
341. Just a minute! I led you all the way here,
right? Take our Oasis back for us!
Copy !req
342. Not until we speak with them
and see how they respond.
Copy !req
343. "Aaah"
Copy !req
344. I already told you,
there's no reasoning with them!
Copy !req
345. I'm begging you, help us!
Copy !req
346. Ee-yow!
Copy !req
347. Infernal dogs?
Copy !req
348. What do you mean, "Infernal dogs"?
Those are Hell Hounds!
Copy !req
349. Fine, whichever! Run!
Copy !req
350. I told you, there's no reasoning with them!
Copy !req
351. No, not if they're dogs!
Copy !req
352. Get up in the trees!
Copy !req
