01x07 - Tower of Nightmare

[bunniefuu]

"If someone flies over with wings,
stay by them."

That's what Mr. Metropoliman
ordered me to do.

What can I say?

This is bad.

Mr. Mukaido!

Is this real?

A t*rror1st attack?

What's going on?

Where's Metropoliman?

Mr. Mukaido!

Mr. Mukaido!

No, don't die on me...

Please don't die!

I don't wish to see anyone die again.

You're alive.

Mr. Mukaido is safe.

That's so great, Baret.

Yes. We can tell right away.

Kakehashi?

Yes.

Fortunately,
I wore an expl*si*n-proof suit.

I thought this suit was sturdy enough.

I never thought it could be
damaged so badly.

Instead of White Arrow,
he's now using a different method to k*ll.

That's great.

Didn't you say you don't wish
to see anyone die again?

Yes.

Did that girl get blown to death?

The same goes for me.
I don't wish to see anyone die.

But we don't have time
to feel sentimental.

The show has just begun.

He's here.

What kind of costume is that?

It looks cool.

I'll take that.

Why...

How could you k*ll people so easily?

That's because I have this pair
of wings and arrows.

That's not what I mean.

I'm referring to this.
Do you think it's all right to k*ll?

Kakehashi.

Are you an elementary school student?

We must not k*ll.

There's nothing more precious than life.

Are you satisfied now?

You know you must not k*ll,
yet you do... why?

Because I must become God.

Sacrifices are inevitable.

I only want to k*ll a few people.

Only a few people, eh?

But no one has ever said

that the last surviving god candidate
will become God!

That's right.

I made that decision.

You used that girl...

You used that girl to k*ll innocent
junior high school students!

Do you understand the feelings of those
who lost their families?

Do you understand the feelings of losing
someone important to you?

I do.

I...

I lost someone I truly cared for.

I do understand the deep hurt very well.

I'd thoroughly experienced it.

But so what?

So...

He isn't someone you can persuade.

I know, but I can't accept...

Today will be the end
of the unnecessary sacrifices.

I will not k*ll anyone
besides the god candidates from now on.

Will this work for you?

We're in front of the sky tower.

According to the source,

the girl was at the scene
at the time of the expl*si*n.

It will be fine.

But the two are still there.

Up next is the situation
at the top of the sky tower.

Nasse.

It's Metropoliman! Look!

It's Metropoliman who appeared
at Jinbo Stadium a few days ago.

Can you fly?

Yes. Fortunately, I'm conscious.

That's great.

But I don't want to end it
by fleeing on my wings.

I know.

Although we must prevent him from fleeing,
we should do our utmost

to prevent ourselves from being k*lled
and our wings and arrows being taken away.

That will only help him in becoming God.

No matter what,
we must hit him with Red Arrow.

Yes.

But...

Why hasn't he fled the scene?

I understand that he wants
to k*ll the god candidates.

But it's two against one now.

He will not fight a losing battle.

Could he have other strategies in mind?

Or is he still working on a plan?

I can't hear what you two
are whispering about,

but now would be a good time
to say your goodbyes.

Meyza!

Please watch my back.

All right.

I just have to flee immediately
if White Arrow comes our way.

We've got to bamboozle him.

-Nasse!
-Yes?

That's Meyza with the same
special-rank as you, right?

That's right.

Nasse, Baret, please watch our back.

All right.

Take out your Red Arrow now.

Okay!

This way, he will think
that I'm the only one with White Arrow.

Nasse, the special-rank angel,
is watching my back.

And you've taken your Red Arrow out.

It's quite apparent who
he should guard against.

You take this opportunity
to sh**t Red Arrow at him.

Got it.

You two have been whispering
for quite some time.

The person I want to k*ll is...

You.

See.

You want to k*ll me?

How?

A one-on-one duel?

I won't take such a risk.

This alone will do.

Detonation activation. E-N-J-E-R.

I've planted another b*mb somewhere.

Even if the girl was placed
at the top of the tower,

it would be meaningless
if the god candidates didn't show up.

That's why I told Misurin
to blow up the tower

if they didn't show up.

It was an effective threat

to kind people who were eager
to save strangers.

It's planted in one of the buildings
within your sight.

If it explodes...

Well, those precious lives
in the building will vanish.

It's not you two who will die.
It's those innocent people who will die.

Choose one of the two.

Liar.

It sounds like a lie created on the spot!

He is lying.

Since Nasse said so,
it's really a lie then.

That angel is really good
at detecting lies.

But she can only tell it
from a person's expression.

Now, the angel is lying.

Really?

So you two are not concerned
about other people's lives?

Listen up.

As long as you two are blown to death,
I won't press the detonation button.

No matter what, you two will
cause the death of others.

Remember this well.

Well, I'll press it now.

Wait!

I get it. Stop it.

Mr. Mukaido.

But you can only k*ll one of us.

You planned to k*ll one of the
god candidates in the earlier expl*si*n.

In that case, k*lling one of us is enough.

Right?

Okay.

But I will decide who will die.

I'll be taking the wings and arrows.

This is my condition.

I am Demakawa.

Metropoliman has finally shown up
after the Jinbo Stadium incident.

Is he involved in the expl*si*n
at the sky tower?

Kakehashi. Mr. Mukaido.

Great.

Public execution isn't a bad idea.

You should die first.

That's what I think too.

I knew you'd pick
a special-rank angel first.

No. That doesn't matter.

It's because you're more problematic
if you live.

Here you go again.

It's obvious that you want White Arrow.

Thanks for overestimating me.

No.

You must not die!

I know.

As Nasse said, it might be a lie.

What if it wasn't?

I don't wish to be k*lled just like that.

sh**t Red Arrow at him
as he releases White Arrow.

But...

My life...

If this goes on,
Mr. Mukaido will surely die.

A life will be lost!

If you dare to flee,
I'll press the button at once.

If no expl*si*n occurs,

it will prove that
you're only scaring people off.

That's right!

IF A PERSON RETURNS THE ANGEL TOOLS

BEFORE THE GOD SELECTION,
THE PERSON WILL DIE.

Kakehashi!

Interesting.

The wings and the arrows are not affected
by anything in the human realm.

But if those people also possess
the angel tools...

I never knew there was such a function.

You don't know about it, Baret?

Why did you get in the way?

Does it not matter to you,
even if people die?

I want...

Red Arrow

to hit you!

You keep attacking but refuse
to sh**t the arrow.

Are you a fool?

Annoying. I will k*ll you first!

Run!

Impressive.

Why don't you flee?

You're godlike!

You know you can't become God.

How long do you think...

you can hide like this?

I...

Want to...

Use Red Arrow...

I tricked you!

Kakehashi!

What's wrong with him?

It will only lead to nothing
if this goes on.

How long are you planning to attack?

So embarrassing.

Yes. How pitiful...

You're wrong!

He is so cool.

Up in the sky just now...

Why didn't he flee or sh**t the arrow?

If this goes on, Kakehashi...

Will be k*lled.

What should I do?

He keeps his back to me.

There's no way to remove Kakehashi
from sight.

This is an opportunity
born of Kakehashi's desperation!

I must do...

all I can...

do...

Behind you!

sh**t the arrow!

He... escaped.

I should have aimed it at his heart.

No. No matter where I attacked,

it would've been deflected by
the bulletproof vest.

Kakehashi!

I saw it.

I saw his face.

Let's go.

Metropoliman has vanished from the sky.

The two mysterious persons
have also vanished without a trace.

Mr. Mukaido. Kakehashi.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Kakehashi. I'm relieved...

I didn't manage to sh**t him.

When Mr. Mukaido was attacking him,
he flinched momentarily.

But I couldn't bring myself to sh**t him.

But that fighting approach
isn't worth any praise.

It's a miracle that you are still alive.

Could it be...

that you acted recklessly to create
an opportunity for me to attack?

How could it be?

I just don't want to die.

That's why I wanted
to sh**t Red Arrow at him.

No. That's not right.

My mind went blank.

I couldn't think at all.

It's not for me.

Battling isn't for me.

It's too late.

I've never fought before.

When I was adopted
and abused by my relatives,

I accepted it and never opposed it.

When I was being gossiped about at school,

and when I was looked down on,

I pretended not to hear it
and never fought back.

I never fought back.

If you think you're tough,
then you're wrong.

I know.

I'm not tough.

I'm too weak.

I'm afraid of being attacked.

I am a coward.

No. I didn't mean it that way.

Uh-huh.

It's because Mirai is very kind.

People compete with each other
to reach their goals.

That's the road to happiness.

I know about this, of course.

But what we are doing now
is way far from it.

Because gaining something by hurting

or sacrificing others will not
make us happy.

I don't understand why people
can feel happy doing it!

Metropoliman is the one who sacrifices
others to realize his ambition.

We were only there to stop him.

k*lling him isn't considered a sacrifice.

You may be right.

But I no longer know what I am doing

and what it is for.

To attain happiness.

Right?

So that everyone will gain happiness.

From getting the wings and the arrows
from Nasse to getting rid of hell

and being together with Saki,

I have been flying high.

I thought I could live
this happy life forever.

But in reality...

What we are doing

m*rder.

Why can't we just live an ordinary life?

I've had enough of this kind of life.

I understand your feelings.

But there is something we must do now.

Tell me.

When you saw Metropoliman...

Mr. Mukaido.

Kakehashi seems to be in a low mood.

And today, I was also...

Very worried about Mirai's safety.

Witnessing a fight that looked like
someone walking on thin ice

isn't good for the heart.

Yeah...

I think you're right.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

But at least you saw his face this time.

Kakehashi feels happy being with me?

It will be all right then.

But it was my first time
treating a patient

whose head was grazed by a b*llet.

I was shot at close range.

But it was deflected
by my bulletproof vest.

You've been through a lot.

Sorry for coming after
business hours, doctor.

Don't worry. It's fine.

I told them I'd planted another
b*mb somewhere

and would not k*ll anyone
besides the god candidates.

Those were all lies.

Darn. What's their problem...

Did you see the expl*si*n
at the sky tower yesterday?

It's terrible.

So scary.

There he goes again.

Look. The stalker.

I'll teach him a lesson for you.

No need.

Why?

Are you dating Kakehashi?

There's a rumor going around in the class.

Someone saw both of you together.

I'm not dating him.

I guess so too.

How could it be Mirai Kakehashi, right?

And I...

Can't fall in love with Kakehashi.
