01x12 - A Fine Line Between Offense and Defense

Post by bunniefuu »

Didn't you say you won't k*ll anyone
besides the god candidates?

Your lack of common sense grinds my gears...

How can you believe in such lies when
we're going to k*ll each other, you fool!

The first guinea pig is Red.

That's you.

Retract your wings
and head over to the Ferris wheel.

This is not a browbeat.

If you refuse, I will release the virus.

It's a choice between
the lives of four of us

or the lives of millions of people...

Wait a second! The first guinea pig...

I won't wait.

You'll be next.

In the order of people I want dead,

the one with no way to escape,

and the one who will be getting
the wings and the arrows after death.

We can naturally determine the order
based on these three points.

You're such a fool for sh**ting Red Arrows
at each other right before me.

I will take all the arrows and the wings.

Kakehashi...

Should I use a White Arrow
before it happens...

No. I will fly over with the g*n and...

But if that woman dies, the virus will...

What should we do?

Stop.

-Don't go!
-Stop!

Or I will press the button!

Hajime, discard your sword.

The dying man, you should drop your g*n.

I can't think of any solution!

Now!

Okay. Come over slowly.

If the virus is released,

people will die.

What should I do?

No!

Don't go! Please, don't go!

Red Arrow's effect is far too powerful.

Get her to shut up!

Ms. Cat-Eared.

If you die, I will...

It doesn't matter how many people's
lives are at stake.

Giving up your life for people
you don't know is a foolish act.

It's only worth sacrificing your life
for those you love deeply.

Don't you think so?

We can't just let
tens of thousands of people die.

What should we do then?

I don't know.

But I don't want Red to die.

Thank you.

But this is the right thing to do.

If it weren't for the Red Arrow,
you would understand this.

If it weren't for the Red Arrow,
she wouldn't act that way.

This has nothing to do with the arrow.

I...

I won't be k*lled that easily.

Kakehashi...

Damn. Think!

Think of a solution quickly.

I don't get what Hajime means.

People can't achieve happiness
once they're dead.

Should I value my own life first?

No.

If I can save more lives with my own life...

No.

I shouldn't think about this right now.

I won't give up until the last moment.

I will save all lives.

I won't let anyone die.

That's right, good boy.
Two meters more to go.

If she dies, the virus will be released.

So we can't k*ll her.

We also can't let her press the button.
What can I do to stop her?

The boy will be k*lled.

I should take Ms. Cat-Eared
and leave now.

One more meter to go.

Kakehashi...

Stop.

I hope you don't let your fear get
the best of you and attempt to fly away.

No!

Kakehashi!

Show me! I need
to see him gradually dissolve.

If you resist, I will press the button.

No! Everyone, run!

Press it!

He used a White Arrow on the virus...

The core has changed colors.

-The virus is dying!
-Yes.

Since it's made from human cells,
it will surely die.

The arrow can penetrate the container,
that's why the virus did not leak.

Using White Arrow on the virus...

I can't believe
he came up with this solution.

Kakehashi, you...

Your will to survive...

No.

Your determination
not to take people's lives...

did not hinder your ability
to become a skilled fighter.

Kakehashi...

The virus is dead!

k*ll her!

k*ll her... with a White Arrow?

You can sh**t her
since you're holding her hand!

All right? We can only count on you now!

Kakehashi must k*ll her?

That can't be...

I'm sorry.

I promised not to command you
to sh**t a White Arrow,

but we can only count on you now.

Don't let go of her hand!

She must have hidden viruses
in some other places!

So, you must k*ll her right here!

Fuyuko, do you still have any on hand?

Of course.

Things are turning out well.

By the way, Fuyuko,

you're a researcher
at a pharmaceutical company, aren't you?

Yes.

I live an ordinary life
with fixed research hours.

If I didn't come across drugs and viruses,

I would be living a happy married life
just like any ordinary person.

Happy?

Damn.

Don't waver! She's a t*rror1st!

You must stop her right here!

Please do not hesitate.
sh**t a White Arrow...

If I don't k*ll her, people will die.

But I... what should I do?

We are all born to be happy.

We live on for a happier life.

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

k*lling or the likes?

k*lling is not the answer.

But if I don't k*ll the person before me,

tens of thousands of people
will lose their happiness.

Everyone's happiness...

Mr. Mukaido's happiness...

Even this woman has her own happiness too...

What is my happiness...

What is Red doing?

He's fighting against himself.

Fighting against himself?

The one who shot you
with Red Arrow has commanded you.

Why aren't you taking any action?

What about you?

Well, I'm waiting for my boss's signal.

Do they have something up their sleeves?

Damn...

I can't stand it any longer.

Mr. Mukaido!

Run out of strength, have you?

A person with wings can dodge that easily.

Didn't you say it yourself?

You do mind being pointed
with a r*fle, don't you?

Even so, it still has its effect!

You sure about that?

Did I fool him?

I don't even have the strength
to press the trigger.

Kakehashi.

Please! k*ll them!

Let me witness that woman and Metropoliman
fall before my eyes!

Well said, Mukaido.

Red is getting tied up.

He can't escape from sh**ting.

He doesn't even have the courage
to sh**t Kohinata.

No. He can't do it.

Metropoliman has his White Arrow out!

What's the point
of sh**ting from that distance?

No. It's attached to a Red Arrow.

With that, Red will surely be hit.

Why aren't you releasing the arrow?

Now then, what are you going to do?

Oh, you intend to k*ll me.

This is to intercept it.

Just release it!

Shut up!

By the way, do you understand
the law of inertia?

-sh**t now!
-When you're holding hands,

even if the opponent decides
to fly it's still one-against-one.

It doesn't matter if you don't get it.

It's the signal.

-This is bad!
-Kakehashi!

Dissolve.

It would've been better

if you two stabbed each other
back when your hand was grasped.

He can neither
sh**t a White Arrow nor let go.

Then,

when Kohinata releases the syringes,

only his right hand,
the one free of grasp, can deal with it.

There are three syringes in total.

I don't think he could
completely stop it with his right hand.

It's even more impossible when his mind
and right-hand movement are restricted.

The arrow will hit first.

No!

Ms. Cat-Eared!

I won't let you die.

Saki!

FLYING SPEED WON'T BE AFFECTED
IF IT'S WITHIN THE BEARABLE WEIGHT RANGE

BUT IT CAN ONLY CARRY ONE HUMAN

The White Arrow will...

The arrow I release at you
will only move in your direction.

It's moving in my direction!

No. It's too late.

I can only move Saki alone.
If I let go of Kohinata's hand...

Let go?

I'm going to die!

Hajime!

Only one left. I can do this.

Amazing! He's becoming all gooey!

What... is this?

You've got to be kidding me...

Ms. Cat-Eared...

are you all right?

Thank goodness.

I've helped... to save Ms. Cat-Eared.

I have always been poor and ugly.

But...

I'm so fortunate
to have met you, Ms. Cat-Eared.

I feel...

so happy.

To protect me...

It's great to have been
born into this world...

I'm sorry...

Accept it, Yellow.

And don't forget this.

That was entertaining.

A group of fools who are willing to die
for others due to the power of Red Arrows.

I'm glad Hajime died.

I guess Hajime Sokotani found salvation

in passing away
in the happiest manner he had wished for.

Just thank Red for it.

Thanks to his hesitation to k*ll Kohinata,
Hajime lost his life.

If I had k*lled Kohinata, Hajime wouldn't...

He ended up dying to protect Yellow.

It's akin to you k*lling him.

You two have k*lled Hajime.

No.

No one wants to k*ll the other party.

You're the one who wishes that
and is so eager to k*ll people.

It's you, Metropoliman!

Red and Yellow, don't blame yourselves.

No.

It shouldn't be like this.

No one is at fault.

Wanting to die happily
isn't something right either.

I feel sad that Hajime died.

No... No matter who,
I feel sad when someone dies.

Humans...

must live.

So you shouldn't take anyone's life away!

You make me sick...

Interesting.

I will let you watch the showdown.

What a willful angel.

There isn't any time limit anyway.

I feel very sad too.

Kohinata and Hajime were your allies.

But you...

We're not allies.

It just means that
the world has two less idiots.

I'm delighted with Hajime's death

because I hate that kind of person.

No matter how hard he struggled,
he lived a useless life.

He was exactly like that thing.

Dirty, lowly, and ugly.

The thing that crawls in the filth.

A c*ck.

Didn't he look like one?

I bet everyone has the urge
to k*ll such scum.

Are you someone
who doesn't even k*ll c*ck?

I will not k*ll for no reason.

A soldier who doesn't even dare
to k*ll an insect on the b*ttlefield.

What a hindrance you are.

It's the opposite.

The opposite?

Red, you're wasting your time.

He will never change
no matter what you say.

He's...

Mr. Mukaido!

We'll go to the hospital now!

Go back.

I want to see...

that scum's demise.

Please take care of Green.

He can't fly on his own.

Metropoliman,

you said you'll fight last, you scumbag.

Our next opponent is the boy behind you.

Forcing a person
who doesn't even dare k*ll an insect

fight against an unarmed boy
is something only you'd think of.

You've got the nerve to say such a thing...

You're right.

He's the type of person
who will make me, a boy,

duel with that guy
and be grinning to himself with joy.

Whether I win or lose,

he'll watch me get k*lled,
just like how he did with the other two.

I don't want to fight!

I don't want to die!
I'll run away because I'm afraid!

Hey.

I'm going to be k*lled!

Mom!

Quit screwing around!

Everyone is the same.

The lowly, ugly guy
who'd undergone plastic surgery,

the military fanatic musclehead,

the crazy woman addicted to poisons,
and the cowardly brat...

The old man who can't fly
and requires care,

and the helpless she-cat.

Looks like your hypocrite self
and I will be going head to head.

Bring it on.

Finally!

Don't be too smug.

You can't even release White Arrows
and k*ll c*ck.

Didn't I say it's the opposite?

You seem to think that you're noble
and an outstanding human.

c*ck don't k*ll humans.

It means you're worse than a c*ck.

You dare to k*ll me
because I'm below c*ck?

Is this your reason to k*ll me?

No.

I won't k*ll you.

I seriously don't get you.

I've found the best solution.

I will sh**t a Red Arrow at you.

Then I will blindfold you
and put you in jail.

I will expose everything to the world,
so you will be punished by law.

This may sound pitiful,
but this is the only solution.

This is the solution
you've been racking your brain on?

You think you can explain
the existence of these scums?

Do you also plan to explain to them

how Red Arrows are for controlling
and White Arrows are for k*lling?

The law doesn't have a way to punish
this supernatural phenomenon, does it?

Why don't you get it?

It's easier and more effective
to use White Arrows!

Everything will be over
if you k*ll me with White Arrows!

I won't k*ll you.

This is for my happiness.

For an ordinary person,

until his death, he'll feel a prick
of conscience for k*lling someone.

It'll be impossible for him
to find happiness.

I don't want to lose my happiness

over k*lling someone
worse than a c*ck.

Worse than a c*ck.

As long as you're alive,

I know you pose a threat to my happiness
and the happiness of humanity.

For that reason,

I was on the fence to sacrifice my life
for the lives of millions of people.

But I don't want to get my hands dirty
for k*lling someone like you.

For my own happiness,

I will sh**t Red Arrow at you.

I get it now.

Your Red Arrow. My White Arrow.

Let's have a good fight
before one of us is shot.

People who fight based on emotions
and impulses are always the first to die.

Those who are well-prepared
will always survive till the very end.

Do you remember?

As agreed,

I will take over your suit
after k*lling you.
