- 01
- Margin: What is happening to Xochitl's body!?
- Title: #141 "District 10 Juvenile Hall 2"
- Credit: Story: Kamachi Kazuma
- Art: Kogino Chuuya
- Character Designs: Haimura Kiyotaka
- Etzali: What in the world!?
- Xochitl: My body has...
- Xochitl: simply reached its limit.
- Xochitl: This must be the result of using a grimoire to make up for the skill I don't have.
- Xochitl: I suppose this was a learning experience.
- Etzali: You don't mean...
- 02
- Etzali: YOU READ IT?
- Xochitl: No.
- Xochitl: I DID MORE THAN THAT.
- Xochitl: As an Aztec magician, you should understand.
- Xochitl: That ceremony lets you reach heaven by consuming human flesh.
- Xochitl: So...
- Xochitl: the flesh cut from my body...
- Xochitl: is still connected to me by a spell line.
- 03
- Etzali: She dries her own flesh and spreads it around as a powder.
- Etzali: That powder magically remains a part of her body, so she can move it like her own limbs.
- Etzali: Same for any weapons that powder touches.
- Etzali: Is that the true form of the suicide spell?
- Etzali: A spell that tears apart your own body will fail almost immediately!
- Etzali: Surely you understood that, Xochitl!!
- Xochitl: I do not care.
- 04
- Xochitl: I can fulfill the organization's objective as long as I kill you before I run out of time.
- Etzali: That's crazy!
- Etzali: The organization I know was cruel, but not this cruel!
- Etzali: What happened?
- Etzali: This isn't right.
- Etzali: I doubt an ordinary spell or spiritual item could cause this.
- 05
- SFX: Heartbeat
- Etzali: Gwwaaahh!
- Etzali: Ahhhhhh!
- SFX: Pant pant
- Etzali: I...was right.
- Etzali: It WAS that.
- 06
- Etzali: An original grimoire.
- SFX: Throb throb
- Etzali: Was it a variation on the Calendar Stone?
- Etzali: She fused with an original that defends against all attacks and prevents anyone from harming her!
- Etzali: No, she gained its power by becoming a part of it.
- Etzali: This is too much for me.
- Etzali: Not even that Index can destroy these, so what is a mere magician like me supposed to do?
- Etzali: I can't save Xochitl.
- 07
- Etzali: But still...
- Etzali: I won't let...
- Etzali: you die!
- Etzali: If human power isn't enough...
- Etzali: I just have to borrow the original's power.
- 08
- Etzali: I will take control of that grimoire!!
- SFX: Unravel
- Etzali: No.
- Etzali: Not yet.
- 09
- Etzali: It's said originals search for someone who will spread their knowledge and display their power to them.
- Etzali: First, I will heal Xochitl.
- Etzali: Let her die and I won't take over for her.

- SFX: Flump
- SFX: Heartbeat heartbeat

- Awaki: I think...
- Awaki: the AIM Jammer is getting stronger.
- Tsuchi: They're combining the power of more than one at once.
- Tsuchi: Musujime.
- Tsuchi: It would be best not to use your power.
- Tsuchi: A single mistake could cost you your life.
- Tsuchi: Stand back and support me.
- Tsuchi: As best as you can.
- Awaki: You make it sound like I'm useless outside of my power.
- Tsuchi: Looks like they're up here.
- Tsuchi: The special cells for rebels.
- 12
- Saku: An attack now?
- Saku: So it really is Group.
- 13
- Saku: This is a plastic explosive and an electric fuse.
- Megumi: Saku!!
- Saku: No, Teshio.
- Saku: We have to use a hostage here.
- Saku: The blast is directed through the door.
- Saku: Because your interference didn't give me time to fine-tune it.
- Saku: Who knows what will happen to the kid inside.
- SFX: Crash crash crash
- 14
- Tsuchi: Control yourself, Musujime!
- Saku: Musujime Awaki.
- Saku: You're that Move Point, huh?
- Saku: Nice.
- Saku: That saves some time.
- SFX: Grin
- Saku: We can negotiate here.
- Awaki: And if I refuse?
- Saku: Hey, Group.
- Saku: Did you learn nothing from the 0930 Incident?
- 15
- Saku: We learned something.
- Saku: I thought Aleister controlled every last part of this messed-up world...
- Saku: but that isn't the case.
- Saku: There are ways to escape his control and places outside his control.
- Saku: We were trapped in Academy City until now, but that's starting to feel silly.
- Saku: First 0930 and now the Avignon riots.
- Saku: With this chance given to us...
- Saku: how could we not act?
- Awaki: You shouldn't sound so proud of trampling on others to gain a new life.
- Saku: Oh, really?
- Saku: All of humanity hopes to find a paradise beyond their current life.
- 16
- Megumi: You shouldn't...
- Megumi: take hostages.
- Saku: Don't be ridiculous, Teshio!
- Saku: We're only getting started here!
- Megumi: The hostage was only meant to get Move Point to negotiate.
- Megumi: Using that bomb will only make her more stubborn.
- Megumi: I never liked this idea.
- Megumi: I only agreed because you said it was a necessary part of the plan.
- Saku: It is!! We have 38 people to work with, so we have to use this one now!
- Saku: Did you work so long in Anti-Skill you started empathizing with those kids!?
- Saku: Get in my way and I'll kill you!!
- 17
- SFX: Crack
- Awaki: What are you doing?
- Megumi: I apologize for him.
- SFX: Flutter
- Megumi: I won't...
- Megumi: use hostages.
- 18
- Megumi: But...
- Megumi: you will talk.
- SFX: Crack
- Megumi: After I heart you more directly.
- 19
- SFX: Wham
- Tsuchi: That was...
- Tsuchi: an Anti-Skill arrest move?
- 20
- Megumi: It's my personal version.
- SFX: Slid...
- Megumi: Using that...
- Megumi: would end up killing kids.
- SFX: Kick
- SFX: Wham
- 21
- SFX: Bam
- Megumi: You don't need strange powers or tricks for...
- Megumi: professional work.
- Megumi: You use...
- Megumi: a variety of basic tactics...
- Megumi: to crush the enemy.
- 22
- Megumi: Ready to tell me how to...
- Megumi: get into the Windowless Building?
- Awaki: Why are you...
- Awaki: so intent on killing Aleister?
- Megumi: I have experienced...
- Megumi: a fair amount of tragedy in this city.
- Megumi: I just wanted to ask Aleister...
- Megumi: if he had played a role in that.
- 23
- Megumi: That's all.
- Awaki: And you'll just accept his answer?
- Awaki: I was once obsessed with "the truth".
- Awaki: But.
- Awaki: Pursuing that didn't give me the peace of mind I wanted.
- Megumi: Maybe so.
- Awaki: Also, your plan won't take down Aleister.
- Awaki: Multiple simultaneous detonations from inside the building?
- Awaki: If that was enough, then any teleportation esper could kill him in his sleep.
- 24
- Megumi: True.
- Megumi: I doubt that will kill Aleister.
- Megumi: He is a true monster.
- Megumi: But what about the life support system supporting him?
- Megumi: I've heard there is no replacement for those devices.
- Awaki: It won't work.
- Awaki: For one thing, that isn't a "Windowless Building".
- Megumi: What?
- Awaki: That's no more than speculation...
- Awaki: but I do know...
- Awaki: that Aleister's plan goes far beyond anything we are imagining.
- 25
- Awaki: He probably sees this entire planet as no more than a disposable tool.
- Megumi: That's quite something...
- SFX: Step
- Megumi: but it changes nothing for me.
- Megumi: I will keep at it until I have that info.
- Megumi: So what will you do?
- 26
- Awaki: I can't use my power properly thanks to the AIM Jammers.
- Awaki: I'm not a good shot like Accelerator and I can't do hand-to-hand like Tsuchimikado.
- Awaki: That's right.
- 27
- Awaki: I can never protect anyone if that's how I look at it.
- SFX: Pop pop
- Megumi: You're using it.
- 28
- Awaki: Yes.
- Awaki: Sorry, but I'm using everything I've got.
- SFX: Whoosh
- SFX: Touch
- SFX: Scrape scrape scrape
- 29
- SFX: Whoosh
- SFX: Bwoosh
- Awaki: Urp...
- SFX: Jerk
- 30
- SFX: Kssshhhhh
- 31
- Awaki: I can do it.
- Awaki: I can beat this!!
- Awaki: All those loathsome old scars mean nothing!!!
- 32
- SFX: Jab
- 33
- Megumi: Gff
- Megumi: You make it...
- Megumi: look easy.
- SFX: Thud
- SFX: Clatter
- 34
- Tsuchi: Are you sure?
- Awaki: Yes.
- 35
- Awaki: For now anyway.
- Accel: You're late.
- Tsuchi: We managed.
- Accel: You really did settle this, right?
- Tsuchi: Okay, let's bet back.
- 36
- Tsuchi: Into the darkness.
- Margin: They walk back into the darkness. With their teammates.
