[00:00] ---
The following program is intended
for Mature Audiences only.
[00:07] Yoneda/Id
The last two candidates must kill each
other with White Arrows within 0.15 seconds.
[00:13] Yoneda/Id
If these conditions can be met,
no creature will be created.
[00:23] Temari
I really don't get it.
[00:25] Temari
Assuming you're right and whoever
gets chosen becomes the "creature,"
[00:29] Temari
what's so wrong with that?
[00:33] Yoneda
Because humans should
decide how humanity ends.
[00:37] Temari
Humans should decide how humanity ends?
[00:40] Temari
I have no idea what that even means.
[00:42] Mirai
Ogaro said God has the
power to end humankind.
[00:54] Saki
But Red said he wouldn't do
anything if he became God.
[00:59] Yoneda
You're being hasty.
[01:00] Yoneda
We haven't established what happens to a
person's mind when they become the creature.
[01:06] Yoneda
And it seems to lack the ability to
communicate anything to humans.
[01:10] Yoneda
In fact, it hasn't managed to
communicate a single thing to us.
[01:13] Yoneda
All we really know about the
creature is if no one becomes it,
[01:18] Yoneda
the current false God dies in 790 days.
[01:22] Yoneda
But humans won't even notice
the death of this false God.
[01:27] Revel
This is the first I'm hearing
of the 999-day time limit
[01:31] Revel
of this God selection process
being linked to God's lifespan.
[01:35] Yazeli
It's true God can't directly
communicate his will to humans, but...
[01:40] Nasse
Muni might be feeding him lies.
[01:43] Revel
What?
[01:47] Yoneda
Let's begin by discussing
how humanity ends.
[01:50] Mirai
Ends?
[01:51] Sign White Bottom
Is this the final showdown
[01:51] Sign White Bottom
between the 5 God candidates?
[01:51] Yoneda
It won't be due to the death of the sun,
[01:54] Yoneda
or some geographical catastrophe
or freak weather event here on Earth,
[01:58] Yoneda
but in the not-too-distant future,
humanity will experience an extinction event.
[02:01] Temari
What? What happened to your claim that
we'd attain immortality in the near future?
[02:07] Yoneda
We'll acquire that within 300 years.
[02:11] Yoneda
Either by replacing all but
our minds with machinery,
[02:13] Yoneda
or by transplanting our
minds into younger bodies.
[02:16] Temari
That's just a sci-fi trope.
[02:18] Hoshi
No, I've read it's no longer fiction.
It could become a reality in the near future.
[02:24] Yoneda
Once humans have acquired the secret
to immortality, what will they want next?
[02:29] Yoneda
Do you know?
[02:33] Yoneda
It's time.
[02:34] Yoneda
To transcend the concept of
time and take control of it.
[02:39] Yoneda
To know and see the future.
[02:42] Yoneda
In other words, the
ultimate form of prediction.
[02:45] Yoneda
And we will achieve it.
[02:47] Yoneda
Once every human has learned
everything the future holds, however...
[02:55] Yoneda
humankind will lose all hope.
[03:02] Yoneda
You understand, don't you? Once people
learn what their predetermined paths are,
[03:06] Yoneda
all it will bring is a
feeling of meaninglessness.
[03:09] Yoneda
We can only submit to the flow of time.
[03:13] Yoneda
Even if we try to change the future,
[03:15] Yoneda
our attempts and their
outcomes are predetermined.
[03:19] Yoneda
Humans will lose the will to
live and end their own lives.
[03:24] Yoneda
And in the end, humans
will simply... give up.
[03:29] Yoneda
We will pay far too heavy a price
for excessive scientific progress.
[03:34] Yoneda
But humanity's inquisitive
spirit cannot be stopped.
[03:38] Yoneda
In the near future, humankind will lose
all hope and march towards its extinction.
[03:46] Yoneda
Red, are you okay with the
idea of becoming the creature?
[03:52] Mirai
I am.
[03:57] Yoneda
Then, this will conclude with either you
becoming the creature or me stopping you.
[04:03] Yoneda
Would it be possible to talk
in private, just you and me?
[04:08] Mirai
I'm fine with that.
[04:09] Temari
Well, if Red says it's fine...
[04:11] Hoshi
Yumiki, take the other
three and stand by. Go to—
[04:15] Nakaumi
How about the guest house
we were staying at before?
[04:18] Hoshi
Fine.
[04:19] Temari
Yikes.
[04:19] Yumiki
Sir...
[04:21] Hoshi
I'll remain here.
[04:24] Hoshi
I won't say anything, of course.
[04:27] Hoshi
I just want to see how
the conversation ends.
[06:03] Reporter

Kakehashi are going to have a one-on-one.

[06:13] Yoneda
I'll ask you again: will you
become a false God or not?
[06:20] Yoneda
You still intend to, correct?
[06:22] Mirai
Yes.
[06:23] Yoneda
Even if it's all a lie?
[06:25] Mirai
Even if it's all fake like you say,
[06:28] Mirai
nobody will want to kill themselves
just because I've become God.
[06:33] Mirai
But if no candidate becomes God, some
will lose all hope and feel unable to go on.
[06:40] Mirai
I want as many people as possible to live.
[06:44] Mirai
I want them to be happy.
[06:46] Nasse
For as many people as
possible to live and be happy...
[06:51] Nasse
That's what Mirai wants.
[06:54] Yoneda
Happy, huh?
[06:57] Yoneda
As a human, that's what
would make you happy, is it?
[07:01] Yoneda
As long as everyone's brain is
different, happiness isn't something
[07:05] Yoneda
that can be measured by
dopamine and adrenaline values.
[07:08] Yoneda
A person's tendency for
appreciation or resentment
[07:12] Yoneda
also produces great differences.
[07:15] Mirai
Resentment...
[07:16] Dad
The worst thing a person
can do is hate another person.
[07:21] Dad
Nothing good ever comes of it.
[07:23] Dad
It's no good for your own mind, of course,
and it's no good for others, either.
[07:30] Yoneda
Ultimately, happiness
is a matter of contrast,
[07:34] Yoneda
attained by designating
others as "unhappy."
[07:37] Mirai
I know that.
[07:39] Mirai
But finding happiness by making
other people happy isn't a bad thing.
[07:46] Mirai
And besides, becoming God won't kill me.
[07:51] Mirai
As long as I'm alive, I won't give up on
finding happiness as a human being.
[07:56] Man 20S
I can't trust people
who say things like that.

[08:29] Temari
Back here again, huh?
[08:31] Yoneda
You said you want as many
people as possible to live,
[08:35] Yoneda
but for you to become the creature,
at the very least, one person must die.
[08:40] Yoneda
Do you understand that?
[08:43] Mirai
I do.
[08:45] Yoneda
You will have to kill me, the candidate who
won't agree to you becoming the creature.

It's a simple matter of numbers.
[10:07] Mirai
One death is better than many.
[10:10] Nasse
You can do it, Mirai.
[10:12] Yoneda
There's no guarantee I'll use
my Wings to dodge your Arrow.
[10:17] Nasse
It figures that'd happen.
[10:19] Yoneda
I'm surprised.
[10:22] Yoneda
I didn't think you'd fire off a
White Arrow without hesitation.
[10:25] Mirai
Maybe it's because I heard
what you had to say.
[10:28] Yoneda
Then, it was worth saying.
[10:32] Mirai
There's one question I'd like you to answer.
[10:34] Mirai
You said what's important
to humankind is our future,
[10:38] Mirai
but humankind will face extinction.
[10:40] Mirai
And what's more, it'll be brought
about by excessive scientific progress.
[10:45] Mirai
So why not steer science in a direction
that won't cause the end of humanity?
[10:50] Yoneda
Because humanity is destined to fall.
[10:54] Yoneda
Listen. The past can't be changed.
It's already been written.
[10:58] Yoneda
Do you understand that much?
[11:00] Mirai
Well, that's obvious. It's not a
case of understanding it or not.
[11:05] Yoneda
So once the present passes, it becomes
the past. Do you understand that, too?
[11:09] Mirai
That's obvious as well.
[11:11] Yoneda
Then, the Earth—no, the entire universe
from its beginning to its very end
[11:16] Yoneda
is a series of consecutive moments.
[11:18] Yoneda
No matter which moment you focus on, viewed
from the moment that follows it, it's the past.
[11:22] Yoneda
Do you understand that?

[11:34] Man 20S
Every predetermined

[11:38] Woman 20S
That's even more confusing.
[11:41] Mirai
Only God can confirm your theory, as He
has seen humanity's beginning and end.
[11:48] Yoneda
So that's the limit of
your understanding, huh?
[11:51] Yoneda
Then, think of it like this:
[11:54] Yoneda
In this universe, millions and billions of
years exist within the span of a moment.
[11:59] Yoneda
Captured within that moment
are infinite births and extinctions.
[12:05] Yoneda
Your failure to understand that
right now poses no problem at all.
[12:09] Yoneda
It's been predetermined that,
more than a century from now,
[12:13] Yoneda
I will be proven right,
and people will understand.
[12:18] Yoneda
I'm simply taking predetermined
actions now to get us to that future.
[12:24] Mirai
That's fine with me. All it
means is that's your ideal future.
[12:30] Mirai
"For the world." "For humanity."
"For the future."
[12:33] Mirai
But you're just doing it for yourself.
[12:35] Mirai
All humans only live for themselves,
and you're included in that.
[12:41] Mirai
How close we can get to achieving
that ideal is what makes people happy.
[12:48] Mirai
Your ideal is for the selection process to
create no false God, and for no God to exist.
[12:54] Mirai
But that would cost too many lives.
[12:57] Mirai
Ending this with as few lives
lost as possible is my ideal.
[13:01] Mirai
It's also what'd make me happy.
[13:04] Mirai
The future is the product of the
present. It's not predetermined.
[13:08] Mirai
I will seize my own future.
[13:11] Mirai
I will... kill you.
[13:14] Yoneda
You won't be saying that for much longer.
[13:18] Yoneda
I've done my research on you.
[13:20] Yoneda
It's already over.

What's the meaning of this?

You must choose.

Not what's for dinner, but who will die.
[13:38] Yoneda
Will you give up on becoming a false God?
[13:42] Yoneda
If you don't, Yellow will die.

Right now, this is the surest way of
preventing the birth of a false God.

It's "love, friendship, and companionship."

If I die, you'll guarantee
Yellow's safety, right?
[20:10] Mirai
And Ms. Temari? She said she can't go
on living unless someone becomes God
[20:14] Mirai
and lets her keep her Red Arrow.

What Answer will Professor Gaku Yoneda Give?!
[20:16] Sign Blue Left
God Candidate News
[20:16] Yoneda
What she really needs is money.
[20:20] Yoneda
Supporting her so she can lead a life
that will satisfy her would be trivial.
[20:23] Temari
Oh? So the professor would
become my sugar daddy, huh?
[20:27] Temari
In that case, I might get by,
no matter how this turns out.
[20:31] Nakaumi/Id
The professor's lying.
[20:34] Nakaumi/Id
To prevent the creature from being
created, all God candidates must die.
[20:38] Nakaumi/Id
And to achieve that, our biggest
obstacle, Red, must die first.
[20:42] Nakaumi/Id
If he has to lie to kill him, so be it.
[20:50] Nasse
Mirai, don't do it.
[20:53] Nasse
I came here to make you happy. You can't die.
[20:57] Nasse
If you die, you can't find happiness.
[21:00] Nasse
You have to find happiness for
the sake of your dead family, too.
[21:03] Nasse
That's right. You picked yourself
back up even after your family died.
[21:07] Nasse
It's not like you'll never
be happy again if Saki dies.
[21:18] Yoneda
Five more seconds.
[21:21] Mirai
You can have it.
[21:25] Saki
Thanks.
[21:26] Saki
Look, a yellow ladybug.
[21:29] Mirai
He's actually the one who found it.
[21:31] Mirai
They say ladybugs bless
people with happiness.
[21:37] Saki
I want to live!
[21:38] Saki
You've been scowling for a while now.
[21:42] Saki
I wish we could smile
together like this forever.
[21:55] Saki
Kakehashi, I love you.
[22:02] Mirai
Some lives are more important than my own.
[22:13] Yoneda
It's time.
[22:14] Yoneda
Nakaumi, if Red flees, shoot Yellow.
