    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
    The God candidates have
    split up into two groups.
[06:06] Reporter
    It looks as if Professor Yoneda and Mirai
    Kakehashi are going to have a one-on-one.

    God
    Candidate
    News
[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.

    becoming God and looking down on me.

[08:16] Minamikawa
    I was kinda moved when he said he wouldn't
     give up on finding happiness as a human.
[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.
[08:51] Yoneda
    But I find it hard to believe
    you possess the resolve to.
[08:55] Mirai

    This isn't good. Let's head back.
[09:16] Temari
    What's going on here?
[09:17] Nakaumi
    If you do what I say,
[09:21] Nakaumi
    I won't kill you.
[09:23] Temari
    Does this mean you tricked us?
[09:27] Nakaumi
    It's just until their conversation is over.
[09:30] Nakaumi
    We wish to prevent the birth of a creature.

[09:54] Nakaumi
    Please don't try anything.
[09:56] Temari
    We'll have to let Red
    deal with the situation.
[10:02] Yoneda
    Can you really shoot me?
[10:04] Mirai
    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?

[11:26] Woman 20S
    So what's going to happen is already written 
    because it'll become the past in the future?
[11:32] Man 20S
    No, that's wrong. There is no "in the future."
[11:34] Man 20S
    Every predetermined
    moment exists simultaneously.
[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.
[13:26] Hoshi
    Yoneda...
[13:28] Mirai
    What's the meaning of this?
[13:29] Yoneda
    Don't you get it?
[13:31] Yoneda
    You must choose.
[13:34] Yoneda
    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.
[13:45] Yoneda
    Right now, this is the surest way of
    preventing the birth of a false God.
[13:52] Yoneda

    "Most important" and "soulmate"

[16:58] Mirai
    I read in your writings that you believe
    friendship, lovers, and companionship
[17:03] Mirai
    are simply tools used in
    novels to entertain readers.
[17:08] Yoneda
    It's "love, friendship, and companionship."

    do people fail to acquire them,

    What Answer will Professor Gaku Yoneda Give?!
[17:44] Mirai
    That's not something you should say.
[17:47] Mirai
    The reason you can say that is because
    you haven't interacted with others.
[17:51] Mirai
    Because you don't
    understand how people feel.
[17:55] Mirai
    Someone who's genuinely
    been in love couldn't say that.
[18:00] Mirai
    There's nothing wrong with what I did.
[18:03] Mirai
    Because I love her, this is the right choice.
[18:07] Temari
    Wow, I'm jealous.
[18:10] Temari
    Hey, edgelord, I bet you've
    never truly loved someone.
[18:13] Nakaumi
    Shut up!
[18:14] Temari
    Yikes.
[18:17] Yoneda
    What a marvelous thing to say.
[18:20] Yoneda
    It makes your next choice
    all the more meaningful.
[18:25] Mirai/Id
    My next choice?
[18:28] Yoneda
    Your next choice is:
[18:32] Yoneda
    Will you die or will Yellow?
[18:42] Yoneda
    Even if you've given up on becoming a
    false God, I can't allow you to leave here.
[18:49] Yoneda
    When this conversation was
    whittled down to just the two of us,
[18:53] Yoneda
    you must've realized one
    of us would kill the other.
[18:57] Yoneda
    Again, you have 28 seconds.
[19:01] Yoneda
    Will you let my White Arrow hit you,
[19:05] Yoneda
    or will Yellow be hit by
    Shuji Nakaumi's White Arrow?
[19:09] Yoneda
    Naturally, if you choose to die but still
    dodge the White Arrow coming towards you,
[19:15] Yoneda
    Yellow will die.
[19:17] Saki
    Revel, go tell Kakehashi I'm all right.
[19:21] Revel
    Saki...
[19:22] Nakaumi
    Don't do it. If Revel or Yazeli
    leave this room, I'll kill everyone.
[19:26] Saki
    Just tell him. Please.
[19:29] Revel
    I can't, Saki. Your life is more
    important to me than Mirai's.
[19:34] Ogaro
    We should entrust this
    matter to our partners.
[19:43] Yoneda
    Then, let's begin.
[19:49] Mirai/Id
    The professor thinks I'll choose to die.
[19:53] Mirai/Id
    As someone with a White
    Arrow, I'm in his way.
[19:56] Mirai/Id
    In fact, the best way out of this
    situation is to kill the professor.
[20:05] Mirai
    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.

[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.
