[00:00] ---
The following program is intended
for Mature Audiences only.
[00:00] Mirai
You said you weren't going to kill
anyone besides God candidates.
[00:04] Metropoliman
That naïve nature of
yours is so aggravating.
[00:07] Metropoliman
Lies don't mean shit when we're
trying to kill each other, idiot.
[00:11] Metropoliman
Red, you'll be her first guinea pig.
[00:14] Metropoliman
Land on top of that Ferris
wheel and stow your Wings.
[00:18] Metropoliman
It's not an idle threat. If you refuse to be
her guinea pig, we will release this virus.
[00:24] Mirai/Id
So either the four of us die
or millions of people will?
[00:30] Mukaido
Wait! I'll go first instea—
[00:32] Metropoliman
No. You wait.
[00:36] Metropoliman
Who do I least want to leave alive?
Who seems least likely to flee?
[00:40] Metropoliman
And who will receive the guinea pig's
Wings and Arrows after their death?
[00:43] Metropoliman
When you consider these three questions,
the order to infect you in sorts itself out.
[00:47] Metropoliman
It was a stupid of you to shoot each other
with Red Arrows right in front of me.
[00:50] Metropoliman
I'll be taking all of your Arrows and Wings.
[02:44] Saki
Kakehashi...
[02:47] Mukaido/Id
If he uses a White Arrow first...
No, I could fly up and use my gun...
[02:51] Mukaido/Id
But even if that woman dies, the virus
will be released... What should I do?
[02:57] Saki
No...
[02:59] Saki
Don't go!
[03:00] Fuyuko
Don't move!
[03:02] Fuyuko
Or I'll press the switch!
[03:03] Fuyuko
Hajime and the dying man,
throw away your weapons.
[03:10] Mukaido/Id
I can't think of any way to stop them.
[03:11] Fuyuko
Hurry it up!
[03:19] Fuyuko
Now, one step at a time.
[03:39] Mirai/Id
They'll release the virus.
[03:41] Mirai/Id
P-People will die.
[03:44] Mirai/Id
What should I do?
[03:45] Saki
No!
[03:47] Saki
Don't go! Please don't go!
[03:50] Metropoliman
His Red Arrow's too damn
effective. Shut her up!
[03:52] Hajime
C-Come on, Ms. Cat Ears.
[03:54] Saki
If you die, I'll...
[03:56] Hajime
I-It's foolish to sacrifice
your life for strangers,
[04:01] Hajime
even if it's for tens of thousands of them.
[04:05] Hajime
You should only risk your life
for the p-person you love. Right?
[04:12] Saki
We can't let tens of thousands die, either.
[04:14] Hajime
What? Uh, th-then, what should we do?
[04:18] Saki
I... I don't know.
[04:20] Saki
But no matter what,
I don't want R-Red... to die.
[04:27] Mirai
Thank you, but if I hadn't
shot you with a Red Arrow,
[04:31] Mirai
you'd understand that this
is the right thing to do.
[04:34] Nasse
If she hadn't been shot with a Red
Arrow, she wouldn't be this distraught.
[04:39] Saki
The Arrow has nothing to do with it. I...
[04:43] Mirai
It's not guaranteed that
she's going to kill me.
[04:46] Saki/Id
Kakehashi...
[04:48] Mukaido/Id
Damn it. Don't stop thinking.
[04:51] Mukaido/Id
Think, think!
[04:53] Mirai/Id
I don't understand what Hajime meant.
[04:57] Mirai/Id
People can't be happy once they're dead.
[05:00] Mirai/Id
Should I prioritize my own life?
[05:04] Mirai/Id
No, if sacrificing my own life
will save countless others...
[05:10] Mirai/Id
No, I shouldn't be thinking
about that right now.
[05:15] Mirai/Id
I can't give up until the very last moment.
[05:17] Mirai/Id
I should focus on saving all lives...
On not letting anyone die.
[05:22] Fuyuoko
That's a good boy. Just another two meters.
[05:26] Muakido/Id
If she dies, it'll release the virus.
[05:28] Mukaido/Id
We can't kill her. We can't let
her press the switch, either.
[05:31] Mukaido/Id
What can we do to prevent that?
[05:33] Hajime/Id
He's going to be killed.
I should flee with Ms. Cat Ears.
[05:37] Fuyuko
Just one more meter.
[05:39] Saki/Id
Kakehashi... Kakehashi...
[05:44] Fuyuko
Stop.
[05:48] Metropoliman
Don't get scared and fly off now.
[05:53] Saki
No!
[06:00] Mukaido/Id
Kakehashi!
[06:02] Fuyuko/Id
Oh, how I want to watch him melt!
[06:12] Fuyuko/Id
If he fights back, I'll press the switch.
[06:15] Mukaido/Id
This isn't good! Everyone, run—
[06:16] Metropoliman
Press it!
[06:30] Muakido
He used a White Arrow on the virus?
[06:35] Revel
The contents changed color.
[06:36] Nasse
It's dead, huh?
[06:37] Baret
That's right.
[06:38] Baret
Since it is made from cells harvested from
humans, it can most certainly perish..
[06:43] Baret
And because the Arrow passed through
the container, the virus never got out.
[06:48] Mukaido/Id
He used his White Arrow against the virus.
I'm impressed he came up with that.
[06:53] Mukaido/Id
Kakehashi, your determination to live—
No, your determination not to let anyone die
[07:01] Mukaido/Id
hardly makes you unsuited to fighting.
[07:05] Saki/Id
Kakehashi...
[07:08] Mukaido
The virus is dead! Finish her!
[07:10] Mirai/Id
Finish her? With a White Arrow?
[07:15] Mukaido
You can't miss while you've
got a hold of her arm!
[07:18] Mukaido
Listen, you guys. We have to trust Red to do it.
[07:23] Saki/Id
Kakehashi has to kill her? But...
[07:27] Mukaido/Id
I'm sorry.
[07:28] Mukaido/Id
I said I wouldn't get you to fire a White Arrow,
but you're the only one who can right now.
[07:33] Mukaido
Whatever you do, don't let go of her!
[07:35] Mukaido
She's definitely hiding more
of that virus somewhere!
[07:39] Mukaido
So... So we have to kill her here and now!
[07:47] Kanade
Fuyuko, do you have more?
[07:50] Fuyuko
Of course.
[07:53] Kanade/Id
This is going swimmingly.
[07:55] Kanade
By the way, Fuyuko, you're a researcher
for a pharmaceutical company, right?
[08:00] Fuyuko
Yeah. I conduct research during work
hours and lead a totally ordinary life.
[08:04] Fuyuko
If I didn't work with drugs and viruses,
[08:07] Fuyuko
maybe I'd even seek out conventional
happiness. Like, get married or whatever.
[08:12] Mirai/Id
Happiness...
[08:15] Mukaido
Damn it.
[08:17] Mukaido
Don't be fooled! She's a terrorist!
[08:21] Mukaido
We have to stop her here and now!
[08:23] Mukaido
I'm begging you. Don't
hesitate. Fire a White Arrow.
[08:27] Mirai/Id
If I don't kill her, people will die.
[08:30] Mirai/Id
But I... What should I do?
[08:35] Mirai Mom
Everyone is born with the
goal of finding happiness,
[08:38] Mirai Mom
and everyone lives with the aim of
attaining even greater happiness.
[08:46] Mirai Dad
Mirai, what do you think the
worst thing a person can do is?
[08:51] Young Mirai
Murder or something?
[08:54] Mirai/Id
Killing people is always wrong.
[08:57] Mirai/Id
But if the happiness of tens of
thousands will be taken away
[09:00] Mirai/Id
if I don't kill this person
in front of me, then...
[09:04] Mirai/Id
Everyone's happiness...
[09:06] Mirai/Id
Mr. Mukaido's happiness...
[09:09] Mirai/Id
Even this woman seeks happiness.
[09:13] Mirai/Id
What about my happiness?
[09:15] Hajime
What is Red doing?
[09:17] Saki
He's fighting with himself.
[09:20] Hajime
Fighting with himself?
[09:24] Fuyuko
After everything that guy who shot you with
a Red Arrow said, why haven't you moved yet?
[09:29] Mirai
Why haven't you?
[09:31] Fuyuko
I'm waiting for a signal from the boss.
[09:35] Mirai/Id
Is there some other reason?
[09:36] Mukaido
Damn it. I can't... last much longer...
[09:43] Saki
Mr. Mukaido!
[09:45] Kanade
Is he dead?
[09:59] Kanade
Anyone with Wings can easily
dodge that. You said so yourself.
[10:06] Mukaido
As long as I'm aiming it at you,
you'll be forced to pay attention to me.
[10:09] Mukaido
That alone will have some effect.
[10:12] Kanade
You sure about that?
[10:15] Mukaido/Id
Did I fool him?
[10:17] Mukaido/Id
I don't even have the
strength to pull the trigger.
[10:20] Mukaido/Id
Kakehashi...
[10:21] Mukaido
Please! Finish her off!
[10:23] Mukaido
Let me watch her and Metropoliman die!
[10:29] Kanade/Id
Now you've said it, Mukaido.
[10:32] Kanade/Id
Red's increasingly stuck
in place. He can't move.
[10:36] Kanade/Id
He hasn't worked up the
resolve to kill Kohinata.
[10:39] Kanade/Id
Or rather, he never will.
[10:45] Nasse
Metropoliman's readied his White Arrow!
[10:47] Revel
What's he planning from that distance?
[10:49] Baret
No, look. He's combined it with his Red Arrow.
[10:51] Baret
That will allow him to reach Red.
[10:55] Mukaido/Id
Why isn't he firing it right away?
[10:56] Kanade/Id
So what will you do now?
[11:02] Fuyuko
What's this? You feel like killing me now?
[11:04] Mirai
I'm doing this to deflect his shot.
[11:07] Mukaido
Just shoot her!
[11:08] Kanade
Shut up!
[11:10] Kanade
By the way, are you familiar
with the law of inertia?
[11:15] Mukaido
Shoot her!
[11:16] Kanade
As long as you're holding onto her,
[11:17] Kanade
even if one of you tries to fly away,
it'll still be one against one.
[11:23] Kanade
It doesn't matter if you don't get it.
[11:27] Fuyuko/Id
The signal!
[11:37] Mukaido
Crap!
[11:37] Saki/Id
Kakehashi!
[11:40] Fuyuko/Id
Melt.
[11:44] Kanade/Id
From the moment he grabbed her wrist,
[11:46] Kanade/Id
it became a standoff between
her syringes and his White Arrow.
[11:50] Kanade/Id
But he can't shoot her with an Arrow,
nor can he let go of her arm.
[11:55] Kanade/Id
Which means, when
Kohinata fires her syringes,
[11:58] Kanade/Id
he'll be forced to use his
free hand to block them.
[12:01] Kanade/Id
She has three syringes.
[12:03] Kanade/Id
He can't possibly block them
all with just his right hand,
[12:07] Kanade/Id
but if I distract him and limit his hand's
movements, it becomes all the more certain.
[12:11] Mirai/Id
The Arrow will strike first.
[12:15] Saki
No!
[12:18] Hajime/Id
Ms. Cat Ears!
[12:20] Saki
I won't let you die!
[12:23] Mirai/Id
Saki!

[12:32] Mirai/Id
The White Arrow!
[12:37] Kanade/Id
The Arrow I shot at you is only meant for you.
[12:41] Mirai/Id
It's coming towards me.
[12:45] Mirai/Id
It's no use. I can't block them in time.
[12:46] Mirai/Id
I can carry just Saki.
If I let go of Kohinata's hand...
[12:50] Mirai/Id
"Let go"?
[12:53] Mirai/Id
She's going to die!
[13:03] Mirai/Id
Hajime!
[13:09] Hajime/Id
One more. I can do it.
[13:46] Fuyuko
Wow, he's turning to goop!
[13:50] Fuyuko
Huh?
[13:52] Fuyuko
What... the...
[13:56] Fuyuko
You can't be serious...
[14:03] Hajime
M-Ms. Cat Ears... A-Are you all right?
[14:10] Hajime
I'm glad... I was able to be useful.
[14:15] Hajime
I saved Ms. Cat Ears.
[14:18] Hajime
U-Up until now, I lived in
poverty. I was hideous.
[14:23] Hajime
But... But...
[14:25] Hajime
I'm glad I met you, Ms. Cat Ears.
[14:29] Hajime
In this moment...
[14:33] Hajime
I am happy.
[14:35] Saki
You were... protecting me...
[14:39] Hajime
I'm glad I was born.
[14:57] Saki
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
SIGN Take these, Ms. Yellow.
SIGN And don't forget this.
[15:30] Kanade
Well, that was amusing.
[15:32] Kanade
Look at this parade of Red Arrowed idiots
sacrificing themselves to protect others.
[15:37] Kanade
I'm particularly grateful Hajime died.
SIGN I suppose Hajime Sokotani can take solace in dying in a manner that made him happiest.
[15:46] Kanade
We should be thanking Red.
[15:49] Kanade
Hajime died because he couldn't
make the decision to kill Kohinata.
[15:56] Mirai/Id
If I'd killed Kohinata,
Hajime wouldn't have...
[16:02] Kanade
He died protecting Yellow.
[16:05] Kanade
You basically killed him.
[16:07] Kanade
You're the one who killed Hajime!
[16:11] Mukaido
Y-You're wrong.
[16:14] Mukaido
None of us wanted to kill each other.
[16:16] Mukaido
Metropoliman, you're the only one who wants
that. You're the only one killing people.
[16:23] Mukaido
Red and Yellow, you
shouldn't blame yourselves.
[16:27] Mirai
You're... You're wrong.
[16:31] Mirai
You're wrong. It's not about who's to blame.
[16:35] Mirai
He died in a manner that made him
happiest? You're wrong about that, too.
[16:39] Mirai
I'm sad Hajime died.
[16:43] Mirai
No. It doesn't matter who it is.
I'm sad when people die.
[16:51] Mirai
We have to live.
[16:53] Mirai
That's why it's wrong to take a life!
[16:59] Kanade
Just how much of a creep are you?
SIGN Hm? This looks interesting.
SIGN Perhaps I'll stay and watch until this is settled.
[17:08] Revel
You just do what you like, don't you?
SIGN It's not like I'm on a timer.
[17:15] Saki
I'm sad, too.
[17:17] Mirai
Yeah.
[17:19] Mirai
Kohinata and Hajime
were your allies, but you...
[17:24] Kanade
They weren't my allies.
Two idiots died here, that's all.
[17:30] Kanade
I'm particularly relieved Hajime
died. I don't like guys like him.
[17:35] Kanade
Trash who can only lead shitty lives,
no matter how hard they struggle.
[17:40] Kanade
Just like those things.
Filthy, lowly, unsightly.
[17:44] Kanade
Those creatures that crawl around in filth.
[17:47] Kanade
Cockroaches.
[17:50] Kanade
They're the same, aren't they?
Anyone'd want to kill them.
[17:54] Kanade
Don't tell me you're the kind of guy
who doesn't even kill cockroaches.
[18:00] Mirai
I don't kill indiscriminately.
[18:04] Kanade
A soldier who can't even kill
insects on the battlefield.
[18:07] Kanade
You must cause trouble
for everyone around you.
[18:09] Mirai
You've got it backwards.
[18:10] Kanade
Backwards?
[18:12] Mukaido
Red, we're wasting time.
[18:15] Mukaido
He won't change, no matter what you say.
[18:19] Mukaido
He's a...
[18:24] Mirai
Mr. Mukaido!
[18:33] Mirai
I'm getting you to a hospital.
[18:34] Mukaido
Take me back.
[18:37] Mukaido
Let me... watch him die first.
[18:50] Mirai
Take care of Green. He can't fly on his own.
[18:57] Mukaido
Metropoliman, you said you'd
fight last since you're a coward.
[19:04] Mukaido
Our next opponent is the boy behind you.
[19:07] Mukaido
You're going to make Red, who can't even kill
insects, fight an unarmed boy to the death.
[19:12] Mukaido
Sounds like something you'd come up with.
[19:15] Kanade
That's a rather harsh way of putting it.
[19:18] Susumu
He's right.
[19:20] Susumu
He's the kind of person who'd smile gleefully
while making a child like me fight that guy.
[19:26] Susumu
Whether I win or lose, he'll just watch
me die like he did with those two.
[19:33] Susumu
I won't fight!
[19:34] Susumu
I don't wanna! I don't wanna die!
I'm scared! I'm running away!
[19:37] Kanade
Hey.
[19:38] Susumu
He's gonna kill me!
[19:40] Susumu
Mommy!
[19:43] Kanade
You can't be serious!
[19:53] Kanade
They're all useless.
[19:55] Kanade
An ugly, plastic, bottom-rung dweller
and a military-obsessed meathead.
[20:00] Kanade
An insane junkie and a cowardly brat.
[20:04] Kanade
An infirm old man who can't fly and a
she-cat helper with no redeeming qualities.
[20:10] Kanade
Looks like I'll be fighting the
wannabe saint one-on-one.
[20:14] Mirai
Let's fight.
[20:17] Nasse
It's finally happening.
[20:19] Kanade
Don't get ahead of yourself.
[20:20] Kanade
You can't use your White Arrow.
You can't even kill a cockroach.
[20:25] Mirai
Like I said, you've got it backwards.
[20:29] Mirai
You seem to think you're a dignified
person and exceptional to boot.
[20:34] Mirai
But cockroaches don't kill people.
[20:38] Mirai
You're lower than a cockroach.
[20:42] Kanade
You're saying you can kill me
because I'm lower than a cockroach?
[20:45] Kanade
That's the reason you'll kill me?
[20:47] Mirai
No. I won't kill you.
[20:51] Kanade
I don't get you at all.
[20:54] Mirai
I've been thinking about the best way to do it.
[20:58] Mirai
I'll shoot you with a Red Arrow.
[21:00] Mirai
Then I'll blindfold you, put you in prison,
[21:03] Mirai
reveal everything to the public, and
let the justice system deal with you.
[21:07] Mirai
I feel sorry for you, but it's the only way.
[21:10] Kanade
That's the best you could come up with?
[21:14] Kanade
Are you going to explain
the angels' existence to everyone?
[21:17] Kanade
How we control people with Red
Arrows and kill them with white ones?
[21:21] Kanade
The law can't possibly punish
such fantastical phenomena!
[21:27] Kanade
Why don't you get it?
[21:29] Kanade
Using a White Arrow is
simpler and more certain!
[21:32] Kanade
Just kill me with a White Arrow!
[21:34] Mirai
I won't kill you.
[21:37] Mirai
I'm doing this for my own happiness.
[21:40] Mirai
If any decent person killed someone,
[21:42] Mirai
their guilty conscience would
torment them until the day they die.
[21:47] Mirai
They'd lose the ability to find happiness.
[21:51] Mirai
I won't allow my happiness
to be taken from me
[21:54] Mirai
because I killed someone
lower than a cockroach.
[21:58] Nasse
Lower than a cockroach!
[22:00] Mirai
I also realize that, as long as you're alive,
[22:02] Mirai
you're a threat to my happiness
and the happiness of humanity.
[22:07] Mirai
I considered sacrificing my own life for
the sake of tens of thousands of others.
[22:12] Mirai
But I don't want to sully
my own hands by killing you.
[22:17] Mirai
For the sake of my own happiness,
[22:21] Mirai
I'll shoot you with a Red Arrow.
[22:27] Kanade
Fine.
[22:29] Kanade
Your red against my white.
[22:31] Kanade
We'll fight until one of us shoots the other.
[22:37] Kanade
Guys like you who rely on emotion and
intensity to fight are the first to die.
[22:42] Kanade
It's the prudent and well-prepared
who survive right to the end.
[22:46] Kanade
Do you remember what I told you?
[22:49] Kanade
Like I promised...
[22:51] Kanade
Once I've killed you,
I'll be taking that suit, too.
