[00:00] ---
    The following program is intended
    for Mature Audiences only.
[00:01] Kanade
    My white against your red.
[00:03] Kanade
    It'll be a nice, fair fight.
    One-on-one. You and me. Agreed?
[00:08] Mirai
    Agreed.
[00:10] Mukaido
    A nice, fair fight?
    That doesn't sound like you.
[00:15] Metropoliman
    How about we establish some rules?
[00:19] Mirai
    Huh?
[00:20] Mukaido
    Don't do it, Red!
    Ignore whatever he suggests!
[00:24] Kanade
    We can do it your way.
[00:27] Mirai
    My way?
[00:28] Kanade
    Yeah. I don't feel like suggesting stuff
    'cause he doesn't trust me. You can decide.
[00:37] Mirai
    We stop running and take turns
    at firing Arrows at one another.
[00:42] Kanade
    You want us to plant our feet within firing
    range and take potshots at each other?
[00:47] Mirai
    That's right.
[00:48] Kanade
    One of us shoots while the other dodges.
[00:52] Kanade
    Take it in turns and close the distance
     after every successful dodge.
[00:55] Mirai
    That's right.
[00:58] Kanade
    For an idiot, that's not a bad idea.
[01:03] Kanade
    Our angels can still cover our backs, right?
[01:07] Mirai
    Yeah.
[01:08] Mirai
    There's no telling where your underling
    who fled went or what he's up to.
[01:12] Kanade
    The same goes for your
    walking dead and the she-cat.
[01:20] Mukaido
    Red, please.
[01:22] Mukaido
    If you can just shoot him with a
    Red Arrow, I can deal the final blow.
[01:28] Mukaido
    If not killing him is what makes
    you happy, I guess for me...
[01:35] Mukaido
    Killing him with my own two
    hands is what'd make me happy.
[01:38] Mukaido
    I doubt you'd understand, though.
[01:42] Mirai
    I do.
[01:43] Kanade
    Enough already. Let's get started.
[01:46] Meyza
    I don't believe it's
    necessary to settle this here.
[01:51] Kanade
    Keep your opinions to yourself.
[01:54] Meyza
    Very well.
[01:56] Nasse
    Mirai...
[01:58] Revel
    White against red. A nice, fair fight.
[02:02] Revel
    One-on-one.
[02:04] Metrpoliman
    Oh yeah.
[02:07] Metrpoliman
    We should decide who attacks first.
[02:08] Metrpoliman
    Heads, it's me. Tails, it's you.
[02:12] Mirai
    Whatever you want.
[02:19] Revel
    He deflected it!
[02:21] Metrpoliman
    Just warming up.
[03:56] Metrpoliman
    It's your turn.
[03:58] Metrpoliman
    Three meters—No, five is fine.
[04:01] Metrpoliman
    Move forward already and take your shot.
[04:13] Mirai
    He parried instead of flying?
[04:14] Kanade
    What? There's no point in
     doing this if I just fly away.
[04:17] Kanade
    Doesn't "plant our feet" mean
    "no flying so we can settle this"?
[04:24] Metrpoliman
    Come on now. You didn't even think of that?
    What the hell kind of rule did you suggest?
[04:29] Metrpoliman
    Or did you think you were the
    only one who could parry Arrows?
[04:35] Metrpoliman
    Don't underestimate me.
[04:36] Metrpoliman
    There's nothing you can do that I can't.
[04:39] Metrpoliman
    There's no department in
    which I am inferior to you.
[04:43] Metrpoliman
    Understand what that means?
[04:44] Metrpoliman
    In every regard, there isn't a human
    in this world who can beat me.
[04:50] Mukaido
    You... Do you think you've become God already?
[04:55] Kanade
    God?
[05:00] Kanade
    The Lord God.
[05:04] Kanade
    I like the sound of that.
[05:09] Kanade
    The Lord God.
[05:16] Rea
    Oh, wow!
[05:17] Rea
    Thank you, Brother.
    You remembered our promise!
[05:21] Kanade
    Yeah.
[05:22] Kanade
    I got my research team to make them.
[05:26] Kanade
    These flowers will never wilt.
    They'll be beautiful forever.
[05:32] Rea
    They're so pretty.
[05:37] Rea
    It's so pretty in here. It's like a dream.
[05:40] Rea
    I'm so happy.
[05:43] Kanade
    You like?
[05:44] Rea
    It's the best!
[05:46] Rea
    You make all my wishes
    come true. You're my God.
[05:50] Kanade
    Your God?
[05:52] Kanade
    In that case, Rea, you're my
    beautiful, adorable angel.
[05:57] Kanade/Vo
    Beautiful things make people happy.
[06:00] Kanade/Vo
    Beautiful things like these flowers
    can be created if you have money.
[06:06] Kanade/Vo
    Rea's body and mind are so beautiful
[06:09] Kanade/Vo
    because she was born into a wealthy
    family and grew up filled with happiness.

[06:13] Sign

[06:14] Kanade/Vo
    Because she's untouched by filth.
[06:17] Kanade/Vo
    Our relationship is beautiful as well.
[06:20] Kanade/Vo
    A wealthy person's environment
    makes them naturally refined.
[06:24] Kanade/Vo
    They are given the very best,
    they receive the best education,
[06:27] Kanade/Vo
    and they become even more beautiful.
[06:32] Kanade/Vo
    They must be protected from
    poverty and this filthy world.
[06:37] Kanade/Vo
    "It's okay to be poor as long as
    your heart is true" is sophistry.
[06:41] Kanade/Vo
    Poverty can only produce filthy things.
[06:45] Kanade/Vo
    It taints the body, and the
    mind becomes ugly as well.
[06:50] Kanade/Vo
    And that which is ugly
    can only produce ugliness.
[06:55] Kanade/Vo
    We love beautiful things.
[06:58] Kanade/Vo
    That's how humans truly feel.
[07:04] Rea
    Brother.
[07:05] Kanade
    Hm? What is it?
[07:07] Rea
    I have good news.
[07:11] Rea
    A boy told me he had feelings for me.
[07:16] Rea
    And well, I'm thinking
     about going out with him.
[07:22] Kanade/Id
    She'll be tainted!
[07:24] Kanade/Id
    It's easy to stray from the right path.
[07:27] Kanade/Id
    I'm the one who has refined
    Rea's beauty up to now.
[07:30] Kanade/Id
    What'll happen to our perfect
    and beautiful sibling relationship?
[07:34] Rea
    Brother?
[07:38] Kanade
    You're too young.
[07:41] Kanade
    You can't.
[07:43] Rea
    What?
[07:51] Rea
    Brother?
[07:54] Rea
    He's a nice person.
[07:55] Rea
    If you met him, I'm sure you'd like him.
[07:58] Kanade/Id
    See? It's already starting to fall apart.
[08:04] Kanade
    Wait, Rea!
[08:05] Rea
    No! Ow!
[08:07] Kanade
    Rea...
[08:10] Kanade
    I know you understand.
[08:14] Rea
    No... No...
[08:15] Kanade
    Rea!
[08:16] Rea
    No! Let me go!
[08:42] Kanade
    Rea!
[08:44] Kanade
    Are you all right, Rea?
[08:45] Kanade
    Rea! Rea!
[08:50] Rea
    Huh?
[08:52] Rea
    What is it? I'm totally fine.
[08:59] Rea
    Oh... I feel... dizzy...
[09:09] Kanade
    Rea?
[09:12] Kanade/Id
    She's showing signs of
    a cerebral contusion.
[09:14] Kanade/Id
    Shit. I need to call an ambulance.
[09:21] Kanade/Id
    I-If she were to die...
[09:24] Kanade/Id
    No one would be able to defile her.
    She'd be young and beautiful forever.
[09:51] Kanade/Id
    The contents of the coffin will never be exposed.
[09:55] Kanade/Id
    Beautiful forever.
[09:59] Kanade/Id
    Unsoiled forever.
    Fourteen years old forever.
[10:10] Kanade/Id
    I'd rather... she was still alive.
[10:19] Kanade/Id
    Maybe... I should join Rea.
[10:25] Meyza
    The heir to an incredibly wealthy business
    conglomerate who is true to his own desires...
[10:33] Meyza
    You are sad because you have
    lost someone important to you.
[10:37] Meyza
    There's only one way you can see her again.
[10:42] Meyza
    You must become God and turn
    your loved one into an angel.
[10:49] Kanade/Id
    Soon... Without a doubt, I will...
[10:55] Kanade
    ...become God!
[11:01] Metrpoliman
    Come on, hurry it up.
[11:03] Metrpoliman
    It's your turn next.
[11:11] Man A
    Huh? It's Metropoliman.
[11:12] Man A
    He's fighting again.
[11:14] Woman A
    Wow, it's so elaborate.
    They're special effects, right?
[11:16] Man A
    It's for real, just like at
    the stadium and the tower.
[11:19] Woman A
    Huh? You mean this is real, too?
[11:21] Man B
    It's being streamed online.
[11:22] Man C
    Why are they censoring it?
[11:24] Man D
    So people can't figure out his location?
[11:27] Susumu
    Piece of cake.

[11:33] Sign
    must be visible.
[11:40] Revel
    They're already so close.
[11:41] Baret
    Indeed. There are less than
    20 meters between them.
[11:44] Revel
    If they get any closer...
[11:47] Saki
    Kakehashi...
[11:50] Mirai/Id
    If we keep closing the distance,
    it'll become a contest of reaction speed.
[11:55] Kanade
    What's wrong? It's your turn.
[11:57] Kanade
    There's no point thinking it
     over. I will become God.
[12:01] Mirai
    I won't let that happen. I won't let
    there be a world where you are God.
[12:04] Kanade
    Why are you being so pessimistic?
[12:06] Kanade
    Sure you'll be dead, but the world
    might become a better place.
[12:10] Mukaido
    Like hell it will. It'll change, but
    there's no way it'll be for the better.
[12:15] Mukaido
    You want divine power just so
    you can satisfy your own desires.
[12:20] Mukaido
    There's no way you'd consider
    what's best for the world.
[12:23] Kanade
    Well, that's where you're wrong.
[12:26] Kanade
    I've thought about what would
    make the world a better place.
[12:32] Kanade
    Though I quit thinking about it
    because it immediately felt ridiculous.
[12:36] Kanade
    Besides, how can anyone believe in
     something as unrealistic as a God?
[12:40] Kanade
    The same goes for the angels
    flying around here.
[12:44] Kanade
    But whether they're actually angels,
[12:46] Kanade
    superweapons, extraterrestrials,
    or whatever else they might be,
[12:50] Kanade
    it's true that only the chosen can see them,
    and that they possess special powers.
[12:56] Man B
    Angels?
[12:57] Man C
    What's he babbling about?
[12:58] Susumu
    Yes, good. Everyone
    needs to know about this.
[13:03] Susumu
    He's not holding back, is he?
[13:07] Hoshi
    Do we know their location yet?
[13:08] Member A
    We're working on it.
[13:10] Member A
    There are several layers of security
    we're working on breaking through.
[13:14] Yumiki
    What do you suppose this is?
[13:17] Yumiki
    From what we saw at the
    stadium and the Grand Tower,
[13:20] Yumiki
    this costumed person seems to be the
    mastermind behind this series of incidents.
[13:24] Yumiki
    What's he trying to achieve?
[13:27] Hoshi
    First God, now angels.
[13:29] Hoshi
    What's hidden behind this footage?
[13:33] Kanade
    I was chosen by them. Taking a
    chance on these powers is one option.
[13:39] Kanade
    No, I deserve these powers.
[13:43] Saki
    What made you lose hope?
[13:47] Saki
    What hope did your angel give you?
[13:51] Kanade
    As if I'd ever tell you, idiot.
[13:53] Kanade
    If you're trying to distract me
    so Red can shoot me,
[13:57] Kanade
    you're doing a decent job for a she-cat.
[13:58] Kanade
    But shut up. I'm gonna kill you.
[14:01] Mirai
    That wasn't her intention.
[14:03] Mirai
    Yellow simply asked out of kindness.
[14:06] Mirai
    I'm fighting fairly.
[14:08] Mirai
    Try defending fairly against
    this Arrow from this distance!
[14:17] Meyza/Id
    He only just parried it.
[14:19] Baret
    It probably stings that he deflected that.
[14:22] Mukaido
    Red, don't let him provoke you!
[14:24] Mukaido
    He's a cheat!
[14:26] Mukaido
    There's no reason for you to fight fairly!
[14:29] Kanade
    Come on now. I can't have you saying that.
[14:34] Kanade
    You need to deflect my
     Arrow fairly, too. Right?
[14:38] Mirai/Id
    Can I... do that from this distance?
[14:41] Kanade
    If you use your Wings or
    move your feet, you lose.
[14:45] Mirai/Id
    He's too close.
[14:47] Mirai/Id
    No, it might be easier to read
    his movements this close up.
[14:52] Mirai/Id
    I can do it.
[14:53] Saki
    Wait. Tell me one thing.
[14:56] Saki
    I don't want to become God.
[14:59] Saki
    I don't know what kind of world would be the
     best for the people who live in it, either.
[15:03] Saki
    So if your wish comes true,
[15:06] Saki
    and the world wouldn't become a terrible
    place for us or the people who live in it, then...
[15:11] Mukaido
    D-Don't do it, Yellow!
[15:13] Kanade
    What are you saying, she-cat?
[15:15] Kanade
    Are you asking me to spare you in
    exchange for letting me become God?
[15:20] Kanade
    Or are you trying to make a
    deal to save your beloved Red?
[15:24] Mirai
    Don't do it.
[15:25] Mirai
    He's killed numerous people.
[15:28] Mirai
    He can't become God without paying for that.
[15:33] Saki
    Yeah.
[15:34] Metrpoliman
    Don't act so high and mighty.
[15:37] Metrpoliman
    No matter how many people I kill,
    it's divine punishment. It's justice served.
[15:42] Metrpoliman
    If God exists, that is.
[15:45] Kanade
    If an absolute entity who stands
    above all others really does exist,
[15:49] Kanade
    then I'm simply best suited to becoming it.
[15:52] Kanade
    Do you understand now?
    If you do, go ahead and kneel.
[15:57] Mirai
    You're so full of yourself.
[16:00] Mirai/Id
    All right.
[16:03] Metrpoliman
    You think you've faked
    a gap in your defenses?
[16:06] Metrpoliman
    I know what you're thinking.
[16:09] Mirai
    You genuinely believe you're the chosen one.
[16:14] Kanade
    I don't just believe it. I am special.
[16:17] Mirai
    There's no such thing as "special."
[16:19] Mirai
    Among humans, there's
    no superior or inferior!
[16:24] Kanade
    Are you one of them?
[16:25] Kanade
    One of the have-nots who
    didn't receive a proper education
[16:28] Kanade
    and had no friends, like Hajime?
[16:31] Kanade
    Looks like I'm right.
[16:33] Kanade
    You can't accept I've been
    chosen because you're stupid.
[16:38] Kanade
    It's because you grew up in an environment
[16:40] Kanade
    where you didn't receive a proper education
     and weren't surrounded by nice things.
[16:44] Kanade
    The lower classes don't
    understand exceptional souls.
[16:48] Kanade
    You're just like Hajime.
    No wonder you annoy me so much.
[16:53] Kanade
    I've changed my mind. I want
    to put my ideas into practice.
[16:57] Kanade
    Before I kill you, I'll tell you
    about them, just like you wanted.
[17:02] Kanade
    If I were God, this is how
    I'd change this twisted world.
[17:05] Kanade
    I'd eliminate disparities from our world.
[17:08] Kanade
    I'd eliminate poverty and inequality.
[17:11] Kanade
    I'd create a society where
    everyone can live a life of luxury.
[17:19] Hoshi
    He'd make the world equal?
[17:22] Mukaido
    What?
[17:28] Kanade
    Don't be so surprised.
[17:30] Kanade
    In other words, I just need to
    get rid of people like Hajime.
[17:34] Kanade
    They're parasites living off of our taxes.
[17:38] Kanade
    I'd purge the world of all the
     trash who lead carefree lives
[17:41] Kanade
    while depending on welfare,
    donations, and the work of volunteers.
[17:47] Mirai
    What are you talking about?
[17:48] Kanade
    I'm saying the wealth gap would vanish
     if poor people were exterminated.
[17:53] Kanade
    It's unjust to force the wealthy
    to look after poor people
[17:56] Kanade
    and feed them all without
     getting anything in return.
[18:00] Kanade
    Equality means no one
    gets special treatment.
[18:03] Kanade
    Those shameless people who receive pity
    and charity and call it equality should die.
[18:09] Man F
    What the hell?
[18:10] Woman B
    How awful.
[18:11] Woman C
    Can he say that?
[18:13] Man G
    That's discrimination!
[18:16] Mirai
    That's your idea?
[18:19] Revel
    C-Can he even do that?
[18:20] Baret
    He can.
[18:22] Meyza
    There are several conditions,
    but if he becomes God, it's possible.
[18:27] Kanade
    That's right. If I become God.
[18:30] Mirai
    Regardless of the circumstances of one's
    birth, everyone has the right to happiness.
[18:35] Kanade
    Yeah, they have that right!
    But they can't all become happy!
[18:39] Kanade
    Instead, they cling to the legs of others
    and drag them down into unhappiness!
[18:42] Kanade
    To those who are forced to assist complete
     strangers they have no connection to,
[18:46] Kanade
    your words are empty platitudes!
[18:48] Kanade
    They're excuses of an idiot
    brainwashed by false morality!
[18:51] Mirai
    Y-You don't have the right to take away
    people's potential and happiness.
[18:58] Kanade
    What, are you going to tell me
    some people rise out of poverty?
[19:02] Kanade
    It's a question of probability.
[19:06] Kanade
    People born into wealthy families
[19:08] Kanade
    are overwhelmingly likely to find
    physical and emotional fulfillment.
[19:12] Kanade
    Beautiful people make beautiful people.
[19:15] Kanade
    Ugly pigs make ugly pigs.
[19:19] Kanade
    I've had enough of this world where you can't
     speak the truth without wearing a mask.
[19:25] Kanade
    Do you understand?
[19:27] Kanade
    Hajime's a good example.
[19:28] Kanade
    Because he was born to inferior parents,
    he was forced to live an ugly life.

[19:49] Kanade
    So even if they're wealthy,
    I'll be eliminating the ugly, too.
[19:54] Kanade
    I once asked a friend what he'd wish
    for if he could have any wish granted.
[19:59] Kanade
    My friend said the following: "I want money."
[20:02] Kanade
    "If I can't have that, then I want
    all the ugly bitches to disappear."
[20:06] Kanade
    What do you think?
    That's how people truly feel.
[20:09] Minamikawa
    I-It's Kanade...
[20:13] Kanade
    A world that's full of only beautiful
    people, where everyone is wealthy.
[20:17] Kanade
    That's the world I want.
[20:19] Student A
    Sounds good to me.
[20:20] Student B
    What're you saying, idiot?
[20:21] Student C
    Uh-oh, I'm getting killed.
[20:24] Customer A
    Well put, God!
[20:25] Customer C
    Excuse me, could we get two beers here?
[20:26] Customer B
    Get rid of my wife, will ya?
SIGN    No wonder Meyza chose him. He's pretty extreme.
[20:34] Kanade
    We'll need servants, though.
[20:37] Kanade
    Even if they're lower class, if they're
    good-looking, we'll keep 'em around as slaves.
[20:41] Kanade
    She-cat.
[20:42] Kanade
    If I become God, I'll let you lick my boots.
[20:46] Kanade
    Actually, you can do that
    right now. Come lick them.
[20:50] Mukaido
    Y-Y-You bastard!
[20:52] Mukaido
    A world without inequality, my ass.
[20:54] Mukaido
    Everything you have to say is—
[20:56] Kanade
    Shut up, old man. Hurry up and die already.
[21:00] Mirai
    Have you finished your speech?
[21:06] Mirai
    Five meters. It's my turn next.
[21:09] Kanade
    What's this? The look in
    your eyes has changed.
[21:13] Kanade
    You can come even closer if you want.
[21:15] Mirai
    We agreed on this.
[21:17] Mirai
    Five meters.
[21:19] Mirai
    I never expected from the start that
    you'd keep to any of our agreements.
[21:22] Kanade
    But you will, because you're stupid.
[21:26] Saki
    Kakehashi...
[21:28] Kanade
    What's wrong?
[21:30] Kanade
    I'm sure even you can recognize
    that you'll lose if you shoot.
[21:34] Kanade
    That's right. The moment you
    fire your red, I'll fire my white.
[21:41] Baret
    Even if he's shot by a Red Arrow,
[21:43] Baret
    if the White Arrow he fires
    hits him, it'll take effect.
[21:46] Kanade
    Since you'll have just fired off an Arrow,
[21:48] Kanade
    you won't have time to ready
    another to deflect my white.
[21:51] Kanade
    You'll have to use your Wings to flee
    from my white if you want to live.
[21:55] Kanade
    But using your Wings to
     flee would be cheating!
[21:58] Kanade
    You'd be breaking the rule
     you suggested if you flee.
[22:03] Mukaido
    You're the one who's done
    plenty of underhanded things.
[22:07] Saki
    And it's Red's turn to shoot. Firing your
    own Arrow would be underhanded.
[22:12] Kanade
    Hey, come on now, she-cat.
    Are you dumber than a cat, too?
[22:17] Kanade
    One shoots an Arrow, the other
     dodges. Those are the rules.
[22:21] Kanade
    Deflecting isn't the only
    way to avoid being shot.
[22:24] Kanade
    Canceling out his power by shooting
    an Arrow is a form of defense.
[22:27] Kanade
    It would be underhanded
    if I shot first, though.
[22:31] Mukaido
    If you flee, then Red wins.
    I'm fine with that.
[22:35] Mukaido
    Though I doubt you'd stand your ground
    and let yourself be hit by a Red Arrow.
[22:41] Kanade
    You just never stop talking, do you?
    Go stick your feet in a coffin and shut up.
[22:45] Kanade
    I said I wouldn't run.
    Don't make me say it again.
[22:49] Mirai
    I won't run, either.
    I already decided I wouldn't.
[22:54] Mirai
    I won't do anything underhanded.
[22:56] Mirai
    It's unlike you not to run,
[22:58] Mirai
    but if you're saying you'll fight
     fairly, I'm pleased to hear it.
[23:01] Kanade
    Then let's hurry up
    and settle this. Shoot me.
[23:05] Kanade
    I'm sure you're trying to come up with
    a way to win without using your Wings,
[23:09] Kanade
    but you can't.
[23:10] Mirai
    I'm not thinking about that.
    What I'm thinking is...
[23:16] Mirai
    "Am I fighting the real Metropoliman or not?"
[23:21] Kanade
    What?
[23:25] Kanade
    Why would you ask that now?
[23:28] Kanade
    I've got a White Arrow in my hand.
[23:30] Mukaido
    Red, I'm 99% sure that's Metropoliman!
[23:35] Mirai
    I know.
[23:37] Mirai
    But that's not 100%.
[23:40] Mirai
    And if it's not 100%, then...
[23:48] Kanade/Id
    What's he doing? Is he stalling for time?
[23:53] Kanade/Id
    No.
[23:54] Kanade/Id
    He pretends to be irresolute,
    but he's actually always...
