Original subtitles

Causes of death are many and varied.

Old age, suicide, illness...

But the cause of death that scares people the most in this day and age...

is death by fire.

Please evacuate quickly!

We will put the Infernals to rest!

Please, not our town.

Someone, please hurry and put my husband out of his misery!

An Infernal!

Sister!

Right!

Flames are the breaths of souls.

And smoke is the souls' release.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

This soul, return to the raging flames.

Latom.

That was the third one.

There are so many of them,

and they're spreading out throughout the town.

I've spotted several of them near the Lieutenant.

It appears that the number of Infernals is still increasing.

With this many of them,

there's no question they're using those Bugs.

There has to be a command center somewhere directing them all.

It could be that plasma user from the Netherworld.

Lady Haumea, we have finished exploring the eastern quarter.

Even after all that, there is still no one compatible. On to the next area.

Get some distance.

The Fire Force is nearby.

Blue Stripes! We've got an Infernal!

There are so many of them.

Keep spraying them to slow them down until we can put them to rest.

Got it.

Maki, we're more or less keeping them at bay,

but we need the sister to put them to rest.

Copy.

The sister is heading this way now!

Just hold on!

Vulcan!

Infernal from the rear too?

I am terribly sorry.

Please forgive me for putting you to rest without a prayer.

No, it's all right, Lieutenant!

Flames are the breaths of souls.

And smoke is the souls' release.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

This soul, return to the raging flames.

Latom.

Latom.

Are you all right, Vulcan?

That was close. You saved me.

I'm sorry we took so long.

We just finished putting another one to rest.

I need you to keep stopping them on the front lines.

If we don't ensure the firefighters' safety,

they can't put out the fires.

Understood, sir.

Vulcan, good to go?

No problem, sir.

Two more Infernals down this way.

Jeez. Had I known it would be like this, I shouldn't have come.

The distribution of these Infernals is not at all spontaneous.

They're probably using Bugs to set people ablaze and split us up.

Maki and Vulcan, please locate the plasma user for me.

She must be the one issuing instructions to the hostiles throughout the town.

Vulcan, the plasma user has been located.

I'll send Arthur her way, so send me her location.

Copy.

Arthur, do you hear me?

I've located the plasma user.

I'm coming to get you on the double, so fight her off.

I'm taking you with me too.

Don't interfere, just come quietly.

Screw that!

Who do you two think you are?

I'll decide for myself what I'm going to do.

I may not understand what your objective is,

but don't go and decide for me if you're escorting me or securing me!

You possess an Adolla Burst.

So your freedom is...

gone.

I'll take you somewhere safe right away.

Just leave this to me. I'm a hero after all.

"Safe"?

What for? That's so dull.

It's out of the question.

A day-to-day life without any thrills? That would be so boring.

Count me out.

What are you talking about?

You may steal money from people, but you still save their lives, right?

I don't care if you do save me, I'm not giving you anything.

I was never after anything in return in the first place!

Because you people are like this

that's why people think getting rescued is something to be expected.

You're turning people into incompetent scums

who can do nothing but wait for you!

As long as the people end up getting rescued, why does it matter?

Having an ability doesn't make you a big shot!

People don't know what's right or wrong.

Don't go forcing your boring safety on me!

What?

Wow.

This one is tough.

Still...

I'm just going to burn the same way as I've seen others, right?

What's suddenly come over you?

So what if I just do whatever I want to?

Wait!

The Fifth Pillar belongs to us!

Get out of my way!

I'm picking up multiple heat sources.

Stay right with me.

Two of them at one o'clock.

One of them at nine o'clock.

No, there's more than just them.

So it would seem.

How are we supposed to stop these many Infernals without putting them to rest?

Hold on!

There's a far stronger heat source coming from that group of Infernals!

What?

Is that...

A Demon Infernal.

It can't be.

This is great!

Of course, a Demon is going to be born!

We have someone here who just had her Adolla Burst awaken.

I know that if we use Bugs around her to cause Human Combustion,

we'd have a Demon pop up from among them.

Though I have to admit, it's going to be quite an ordeal for them.

Imagine not being able to finish off an Infernal without putting it to rest!

Fire Soldiers like their bothersome rope play, don't they?

Maki, we have a Demon on our hands now.

There's no way we can stop them.

The sister is heading there now.

Just hang on!

Easy for her to say.

What are we supposed to do by ourselves?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I didn't mean to take so long. I had some trouble getting changed.

Tamaki, you've been through the sisters' training?

Well, I did come from Company 1, after all.

But this is my first time putting anyone to rest on the field.

Do your best.

Yes, sir, I'll start right away...

Why me?

How did everything from the neck down come off?

And how come only the veil stayed on?

The bikini-and-veil look is an awful niche kink.

Wait, if you can get to heaven that way, that may not sound so bad.

Don't be ridiculous. There's no way.

Here they come!

If we can't put them to rest, what are we supposed to do?

Oh, sorry! I'll get dressed again right away!

Hang in there, Vulcan.

This is where we're going to meet our end, all right.

Don't give up!

Just hold on, you two! I'm almost finished...

Damn it!

-Vulcan! -Damn it!

For heaven's sake, Tamaki.

As always, what are you even doing?

Lieutenant Karim!

This is Hinawa. Lieutenant Karim from Company 1 has joined us.

He's here? That's a big help.

I thought we couldn't count on any of the other companies to work with us?

Not officially, no.

But I have requested a little personal assistance.

I hear you're short on clerical help.

I'm really glad you're here. Now we can put them to rest.

All right, let's go!

Go grab the girl who ran away.

Yes, sir!

Hold it!

Move it!

Let go of me!

No, you don't!

Is that?

Backdraft Bubblish Gum.

It's you! The guy from Company 5!

Toru Kishiri!

I got a request that you wanted some extra help, so here I am.

There's another one?

No, not me.

I just happened to be passing by. No, really...

Wow. What a hell of a barrage.

This is bad, but here I am!

Juggernaut!

Let's get them!

We just can't run up to them.

Stay away!

Way to go, Juggernaut!

I'll make sure not to let them anywhere near us,

so you just keep on backing away and firing at them!

Just make sure of it!

Keep your distance and return fire!

Yes, sir!

Keep away!

I hate to leave you two here, but you've got this!

What?

I'm not going to let them get that girl!

Shinra Kusakabe! Where do you think you're going?

You're going where Inca is, right? Isn't that right?

Answer my question!

Damn it!

Let go of me!

Be quiet!

Stop that! Let the girl go!

Butt out! I want to live someplace that scares the living daylights out of me!

What is wrong with you?

Hurry! The Infernals are coming!

That way is cut off!

Sister, we need to put the next one to rest, please.

Yes, sir.

We call it a prayer, but she puts her whole soul into supplicating.

The sister's strength and concentration have its limits.

Are you all right, Sister?

There's nothing wrong with me at all, sir.

Flames are the breaths of souls.

And smoke is the souls' release.

Who are you?

A sister squad under the command of Lieutenant Karim.

Company 2 Platoon on the scene!

Company 5 Platoon, secure an evacuation route for the civilians!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

I am glad to see them! Reinforcements!

Captain Obi, I am Platoon Leader Taguchi, from Company 2.

I am Platoon Leader Tokuyama, from Company 5.

Thanks for the assistance. I'm glad you answered my call.

I've known about you since your days as a regular firefighter, sir.

It is an honor to work with you today.

Company 2 Platoon, put those Infernals to rest!

Company 5 Platoon, after securing the route, you must evacuate everyone!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Captain, look how many of them are here to help.

Isn't this great?

Yes.

We aren't the only Fire Soldiers who want to protect people.

The flames are now spreading out all across town.

Adding a few more Fire Soldiers at this point won't do any good.

The Fifth Pillar is as good as ours.

Celestial Knight Slash!

You freaked me out.

Gosh, it's you again!

Maki, the shock lady has been located.

Take her out.

So you're the enemy commander, aren't you?

I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!

Charon, I've got a problem here. Hurry up.

I'm not siding with either one of you! Let me go! Release me!

Let the girl go!

-Hold her there. -Let me go!

Yes, sir.

I'm getting real tired of that hulking-frame of yours.

I'll blow you away!

That was nothing!

Your attacks are all speed and no heat.

Oh, shut up. Screw you.

Still, the fact remains that my Rapid doesn't work against him.

He triggers explosions just by walking.

I could create explosions like that too if I wanted to.

Flames are the breaths of souls.

And smoke is the souls' release.

Fire!

-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. -Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

-These souls, -These souls,

-return to the raging flames. -return to the raging flames.

-Latom. -Latom.

Captain, the Infernals are being put to rest like clockwork now.

But how are we going to extinguish all this fire?

The way things are now, the whole town is going to burn down.

Return to the raging flames.

Latom.

That just leaves

the one-horned Demon Infernal!

Damn! I can't send out orders when you're around!

I am going to shatter your scheme!

Oh, are you, now?

But then, we already have the Fifth Pillar!

We're going to be the ones to assemble the eight key Pillars.

Release me! I do not belong to anyone!

Let me go! Release me!

That leaves you, Fourth Pillar.

I can't beat him like this.

However, when I was training with Captain Shinmon,

there was one tenokata form that caused an explosion.

You extend your index and pinky fingers.

Whenever you get in a pinch, remember "rock" while making this sign,

and it will inspire courage within you.

I guess I'll try it.

I'm just getting started, you damn gorilla!

The form I learned from Captain Obi himself...

the Corna!
