01x05 - Death Sentence

[bunniefuu]

I beg you! Please save her!

No. Stop it.

Someone! Please save her!

Stop him, please!

You must not reveal yourself!

Don't move!

Nasse.

-Please save her!
-No!

You must not take action
without any countermeasures.

You will only expose your identity
as a god candidate.

Kakehashi, Nasse is right.

If you act rashly...

-But if this goes on, the girl...
-No!

He wouldn't k*ll her
before luring other god candidates out...

That guy is on his side
at least for 33 days.

What? Another angel?

It's not you all that I wanted to lure.

But you are my kind of cute angel.

So I'll let you go for the moment.

My angel is still much sexier though.

Even if you continue to use that girl,

the god candidates will
not reveal themselves.

Really? She's no longer useful?

What?

She has fallen suddenly.

For real?

Did he... k*ll the girl

with Metropon?

This is sickening.

Too bad.

My goal is to minimize the number
of god candidates.

Hey, may I have a chat with you?

What do you mean by too bad?

Other than the death
of my own god candidate,

I don't really feel anything
for the death of humans.

But if you die,
I guess I will be delighted.

Fair enough.

Everyone wants their candidate
to become God, right?

In this aspect,

you have me to thank for
since I've k*lled three today.

I'm not trying to make
my god candidate the god.

I wish to make him happy.

Ridiculous.

Really. Angels are so weird.

You're in the way, I figured.

Nasse, what on earth are you
planning to do?

Of course, you would say so.

But I will definitely become God.

That's impossible.

If worse comes to worst,
I will ask my partner to k*ll you.

You look young and cute,

but you are of the special-rank?

Maybe my cuteness is in the special-rank.

All right! Let's go home!

Staying here will only
attract attention to yourself.

Slip into the crowd and leave quietly.

Kakehashi.

Mr. Metropoliman, goodbye!

All right.

Can you hand over the wings and arrows?

Eight more candidates remain.

I couldn't do anything.

It was us angels who stopped you
from taking action.

Kakehashi, don't blame yourself.

Now, I...

hate Metropoliman so much.

You do hate others too, Saki?

The police should find out by now
that those three were innocent civilians.

They will definitely take action.

Can the police catch him?

I don't think so.

He has wings and arrows

and is very cunning.

We have to k*ll him.

But I can't.

I can't bring myself to k*ll him.

I can't even bring myself
to resent others.

Are you okay?

Is it fun, Mirai?

Yeah, of course.

I am happiest with my family.

So am I.

It's my happiest moment
spending the holiday with you all.

Dad.

Yes?

You know, Mom always says
that we were all born to be happy.

That's just her favorite line.
Don't take it too seriously,

I mean,

I am very happy now.

But to live happily forever,

and bring happiness to everyone,

what should I do?

Live happily forever?

Maybe all you need is
to believe that you are happy.

Just believe it? That sounds so casual.

Is it so? But I'm very serious.

It wouldn't work for everyone,

and even if we believe in it,
we still feel unhappy at times.

Mirai,

what do you think is the one thing
we shouldn't do?

k*lling or the likes?

That's right. That's for sure.

But those are something set by the law.

I meant something outside of the law
that humans must not do.

I have no idea.

What we must not do most
is hate or resent others.

Nothing good grows from that.

Not just your own heart,

but that of others too.

Dad, you are indeed an adult.

What nonsense is this?

k*lling is something we must never do.

But before that, we must not hate
or resent others.

I seem to have grown up
after listening to this.

What? You have grown up?
That's pretty fast.

That's great then.

Although this is the simple truth

that has been passed down
since time immemorial,

humans still fail to observe it.

If we all can understand it,

there will surely be
fewer competitions and disputes.

There will be fewer unfortunate people.
More people will be happy.

It might be close to what your mom says
about bringing happiness to everyone.

No one requested you to k*ll Metropoliman.

What I mean is we cannot ignore him.

Mirai is

the kind of person who needs to be
fully convinced to do anything.

He can't make himself believe that
one can be happy after k*lling someone.

Partners...

Most of the god candidates

must be regarding Metropoliman
as a bad guy.

Just like Metroblue said,

I think we can join forces with others.

I agree with your idea.

Saki, leave it to me!

A god candidate?

Just sh**t me with Red Arrow.

If it hits me,
it means I'm not manipulated.

Then, order me to tell the truth.

sh**t now!

What if I was manipulated by Metropoliman?
What would happen to you then?

He's right.

Hold on. You don't have to use the arrow.

Well, it's better not to sh**t him.

Because he's not lying, right?

OTHER GOD CANDIDATES CAN TAKE OVER

THE ANGEL TOOLS OF
DEAD GOD CANDIDATES

If Nasse says so,
I guess he's not lying.

If we're going to join forces,

it's better to follow Nasse's advice
and not sh**t him.

Although we can make him
tell the truth with the arrow,

it would also make him go along
with whatever we say.

I trust Nasse.

So do I.

Thank you.

I don't have much time left.

What do you mean?

I've been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

It has spread all over my body.
There is no cure.

I was told that
I only had three months to live.

Not long after the three-month period,

an angel appeared before me.

I was absolutely sure
that she came to pick me up.

Aren't you here...

to pick me up?

You have lost hope in living, haven't you?

Hope?

What nonsense is this?

I don't even see hope to live on.

Sooner or later, everyone will die.

Really?

But compared to
those who have lost hope in living,

those who have been deprived,
and accepted death are much stronger.

I read that in an ancient book.

What's this all about?

It's a story to give you hope to live on.

if you become God
before succumbing to the disease,

you will be able to save your life.

You can even live
for thousands of years thereafter.

I thought there was nothing else
I could do for them.

I have a wife and children.

She's pregnant with another child.

I took the bait.

But it's not as simple as I thought.

She said it could last up to 999 days

and there were 13 god candidates.

Not to mention that there is a
scumbag called Metropoliman.

No matter how I look at it, the decision
will not be reached while I'm still alive.

So I've given up the meaningless treatment
to extend my life.

I want to use the wings and arrows
to do what I can while I'm still alive.

That's the mindset I'd changed to.

I used Red Arrow to obtain
200 million yen cash from a rich man

for my wife and children,
whom I'll be leaving behind.

A thief like me is not qualified
to become God.

A self-centered person
won't be able to make it, right?

There's not true.

That's the right way
to use the wings and arrows.

You want your family to be happy.

I agree with Nasse.

No.

This is my responsibility as a human.

In exchange for giving up on becoming God,

I took the money.

Then,

I kept thinking about what I could do
while I'm alive.

What could I do to bring happiness
to my children?

At the very least,

I must not let Metropoliman
become God.

For this very reason, I must meet

as many god candidates as possible

and work together with them

to take down Metropoliman.

If possible, I want to meet
all the god candidates

to find the most suitable candidate
to become God.

So, to find the god candidates,

I shot Red Arrows at 14 detectives,
psychologists, and others

and sent them to the stadium.

And the ones who seemed like
they could see the angels and arrows

were Mirai Kakehashi and Saki Hanakago.

The two of you.

Now that I no longer care about myself,

I am able to observe others
with a calm mind.

When I saw your photo, I felt...

you were the good guys.

So I'd like to ask both of you.

Do you wish to become a god?

I don't intend to be...

Me neither...

I see. I understand. That's great.

Humans who want to be God
must be someone abnormal.

If you...

want me to help you, there is a condition.

A condition?

Please continue with your treatment.

Please do not give up on your life.

It's very selfish of you
to take your life lightly.

Please consider how your family will feel.

Okay. I get it.

I want to live for another day too.

Right.

Three wings and arrows.

How should I use them?

With Red Arrow,

people won't k*ll themselves

nor k*ll others even if I told them to.

In other words, only White Arrow,

can k*ll someone.

But what about
those who have always wanted to die?

Or...

those who have always wanted to...

My angel is Baret,

who is known as the Angel of Knowledge.

Baret?

She is very knowledgeable.

Angels. God.

She knows everything from their history
to the Heavenly realm.

It was her excessive display of knowledge

that caused her to be demoted
from the special-rank to the first-rank.

I assume that Metropoliman's angel
is Meyza.

But my angel is still much sexier though.

He told me so.

Meyza? The Angel of Lust?

I heard from Baret that she used
some unknown means

to get herself promoted from unranked
straight to the special-rank.

By the way, what is your name?

Oh, I've not told you yet?

No.

That's quite rude of me.

My name is Nanato Mukaido.

I was in charge of new product planning
at an apparel company.

I'm taking a leave of absence.

Do you mean fashion design?

That's right. Look at these.

What is this?

This is my costume design.

I think we shouldn't expose our identity.

We should be well prepared. Just in case.

I can guarantee the quality.

Well, see you tomorrow.
I'll be here for a strategy meeting.

If I didn't turn up,
then just regard me as dead.

There you go again.

I'm just kidding.

Goodbye.

What a weird person.

But he looks reliable.

Because those who are prepared to die
are rather strong.

Prepared... to die...

That's all for today.

IF I BECAME THE GOD. KANADE URYU

See you tomorrow.

Kanade.

I'd like to see some eye candies again.

You really like them.

I don't hate it though.

Great!

Let's go to the junior high school today.

Thank you, the grandson of the chairman.

You can go anywhere you like.

Sayuri is indeed amazing.

She is three years younger than us.

Girls at that age are innocent
and look most beautiful.

I want to date that girl.

If you are willing to die
to get involved with that girl,

I will make her fall in love with you.

Really?

In exchange, you will die for sure.

No thanks. This is a little...

Minamikawa,

if you could have one
of your wishes fulfilled,

what would it be?

If any kind of wish could come true...

I would go for money, I guess.

I want to be super rich.

-Rejected.
-Rejected?

That's a rather small wish.

You should look at the world at large.

What about making atomic bombs

and nuclear weapons disappear
from the world?

Good. That's what I mean.

And make all ugly women
disappear from the world.

Good. Approved.

And also make all those men
who are more handsome

than me disappear from the world.

No way. I will die then.

Oh, right.

Kanade, what would you wish?

Well...

It wouldn't be something
that could be done in reality,

like making someone die.

If any kind of wish could come true,

I would wish for something impossible.

To resurrect the dead.

Your sister?

Oh, everyone has left.

There are close distance
and long distance targets in kyudo.

The close distance is 28m,
and the long distance is 60m.

Did you know?

The sh**ting range of the arrow is 31,6m.

It's easy to hit a close-distance target.

As for a long distance...

Just sh**t two arrows simultaneously,
and you can easily hit the 60m mark.

You can hit beyond 90m
if you sh**t three arrows.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Let's go.

HEAVY CHEMICALS
NEW TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT SITE

DANGER. DO NOT ENTER.

Happy...

birthday.

The first task is to track down this boy.

This is another god candidate
I found at the stadium.

Unfortunately, he flew away,

so I couldn't track him down.

Except for Metropoliman,

the number of god candidates
with unknown identities is five.

And the boy in the photo
is one of them.

I will look out for those who suddenly
became rich or popular,

or those who started to act differently.

I'll keep my eyes open for that.

There is a high probability
that they are god candidates.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
SERIAL k*ller ESCAPED

FROM WOMEN JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER

This is...

The one who k*lled three
junior high school girls two years ago.

News bulletin.

The confession note left

by the alleged escaped girl
has been revealed.

In the confession note, she wrote,

-"I had k*lled three cute girls."
-What is this?

My goodness, that makes no sense.

How did she escape?

She even left a note.

The wings and arrows can be given
to those who aren't god candidates, right?

Yes. But there is a condition.

Could she have gotten them
from Metropoliman?

I recall that those three girls
were k*lled with a knife.

Yes. That beast only needs a knife.
She doesn't need White Arrow at all.

And as long as she has wings,

she can abduct people easily,

and will not get caught easily.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Wow! Every shot tells!

This is getting more fun.
