[00:03] Nakaumi God     So this is Heaven... [00:05] Yazeli     Think of it as a parallel world     existing alongside the human world. [00:10] Ogaro     Time simply passes slightly slower here. [00:16] Nakaumi God     It sounded fishy to me that     God could die in the first place. [00:22] Nakaumi God     Anyway, I'm not feeling well. [00:25] Nakaumi God     The creature has infested my body. [00:29] Nakaumi God     I'm just a creature wearing     Shuji Nakaumi's skin. [00:33] Nakaumi God     An apple that tastes like an orange is     merely an orange wearing apple skin. [00:37] Nasse     Nakaumi, you sound so godlike. [00:39] Revel     Don't say "Nakaumi." He's "God." [00:42] Nakaumi God     The creature's consciousness     is inside my head. [00:47] Nakaumi God     Will it encroach on my body     and my way of thinking, too? [00:49] Ogaro     Two consciousnesses exist within you, [00:51] Ogaro     but what was previously Shuji Nakaumi's     consciousness will control God from now on [00:56] Ogaro     until you ultimately merge. [00:58] Nakaumi God     Merge? How long will that take? [01:00] Ogaro     We do not know the answer to that. [01:18] Ogaro     We preserve all humans as they     appeared at the moment of their deaths. [01:23] Nakaumi God     Why is it necessary to do that? [01:26] Ogaro     We do not know anything God does not know. [01:30] Nakaumi God     You don't know? [01:32] Previous God     It is because I created humans. [01:35] Previous God     It is my responsibility to     preserve the end of their lives. [01:39] Previous God     It's a tradition dating     back to the earliest days. [01:41] Nakaumi God/Id     Who are you? [01:42] Previous God     The God that entered your body. [01:45] Nakaumi God/Id     "God"? The creature... [01:49] Nakaumi God/Id     So it was the creature that created humans? [01:52] Nakaumi God/Id     That can't be right. Humans created God. [01:57] Previous God     That may be correct, too.     I was created as well. [02:03] Previous God     And once I was created,     I created the humans. [02:07] Nakaumi God/Id     What are you talking about, creature? [02:09] Previous God     You heard correctly. I do not     know what created me, either. [02:14] Ogaro     God, is something the matter? [02:18] Nakaumi God     No, I'm just a little tired.     Could you leave me alone please? [02:23] Ogaro     As your attendant, I shall remain here.     The other angels may leave. [02:30] Nakaumi God/Id     If the angels don't know     anything God doesn't know, [02:35] Nakaumi God/Id     I'll have to figure it out for myself. [02:38] Nakaumi God     Then, at the very least, I can tell     Professor Yoneda which came first: [02:42] Nakaumi God     the creature or humans. [02:52] Sign     Professor     Emeritus     Yoneda [02:52] Sign     Research [02:52] Sign     Lab One [02:52] Yoneda     Temari, are you watching for a reaction? [02:56] Temari     I'm looking, but nothing's happening. [02:59] Temari     I don't have the slightest idea     what it is you're researching. [03:04] Yoneda     You may not see it,     but it's what you wanted. [03:08] Temari     What I wanted? [03:11] Temari     Love? [03:12] Yoneda     Precisely. [03:13] Temari     What? I'm right? [03:14] Yoneda     So love was what you wanted.      I'm surprised by your lack of greed. [03:19] Yoneda     I thought you were a big spender. [03:22] Temari     Well, when I was poor, I desperately     wanted brand-name products, [03:27] Temari     but this lab pays super well. [03:30] Temari     Building up my savings      makes me happier now. [03:35] Yoneda     I see. [03:36] Yoneda     As human psychology goes,     that's not unusual. [03:41] Yoneda/Id     As the world has had its memory     wiped of the God selection process [03:44] Yoneda/Id     and things have returned     to how they once were, [03:48] Yoneda/Id     it was considerate of him to     let me keep my Red Arrow. [03:52] Yoneda/Id     Since he left it behind, I have     no choice but to analyze it. [03:58] Yoneda     By the way, Temari... [03:59] Temari     Yes? [04:00] Yoneda     You have no memory of the time between     leaving your old job and coming here, right? [04:04] Temari     Right. [04:05] Yoneda     You should undergo a full     examination at some point. [04:08] Temari     But I'm not experiencing     any issues right now. [04:10] Yoneda     That's no guarantee that you don't     have brain damage or a tumor. [04:14] Yoneda     Once you've reached the point     of no return, it'll be too late. [04:17] Temari     Well, when you put it that way... [04:19] Yoneda     I shall examine every last inch of you. [04:22] Temari     Professor, you're not thinking     dirty thoughts, are you?! [04:25] Yoneda     No. Definitely not. [04:28] Yoneda     What I'm thinking about is     making you my guinea pig. [04:32] Yoneda     Otherwise, I'd never interact     with another person's body. [04:36] Temari     Professor? [04:38] Temari     I've got all kinds of things     stuck all over my body. [04:41] Temari     I thought you were just     examining my brain. [04:44] Yoneda     Okay, let's begin, Naoi. [04:46] Naoi     Yes, sir. [04:52] Naoi     Huh? Her heart rate suddenly increased. [04:55] Naoi     What's going on with her hormone output? [04:59] Yoneda/Id     All her levels exceed standard values. [05:02] Yoneda/Id     This proves she's in love. [05:05] Yoneda/Id     It's because I used my Red Arrow     on her, but that's all I know. [05:09] Yoneda     It's serious. [05:10] Yoneda     According to my calculations, you need to      be hospitalized immediately for 33 days. [05:14] Temari     What? No! [05:16] Temari     No way! I want to stay here     in the lab with you, professor. [05:19] Yoneda     It's all right. I'll visit you every day. [05:22] Temari     You mean it? [05:24] Yoneda     I do. [05:25] Yoneda/Id     To observe you and gather data, that is. [05:31] Yamashita     Kakehashi, you got a job? [05:33] Mirai     Yes. [05:34] Yamashita     Where are you working? [05:35] Mirai     At a flower shop. [05:36] Yamashita     A flower shop? [05:38] Saki     We've decided to run a flower     shop together in the future. [05:41] Both     What? [05:42] Saki     A flower shop that sells four-leaf clovers. [05:45] Maiko     Uh, does that mean you plan to get married? [05:48] Saki     Yup. [05:49] Yamashita     Really? I was surprised you two were dating,     and now you're making some big plans. [05:54] Saki     I decided I wanted to be true to     myself and work toward my goals. [05:59] Maiko     I can tell you're serious about it.     All I can say is that I envy you two. [06:04] Yamashita     Hey, Maiko, wanna go out? [06:06] Maiko     Why would I date you? [06:07] Yamashita     Well, we're both single— [06:08] Yamashita     Ow! [06:09] Maiko     We're not the same! [06:10] Yamashita     It was just a suggestion. [06:12] Mirai     I'm glad it didn't leave a scar. [06:15] Saki     Thanks to God. [06:18] Yoneda     Temari, congratulations     on being discharged. [06:21] Temari     I feel like I've just gotten     over a bout of lovesickness. [06:25] Yoneda     Back to normal, I see. [06:27] Yoneda/Id     Though I failed to find out anything that'd     help me in my research of the Red Arrow. [06:37] Yoneda/Id     Nakaumi... [06:43] Nakaumi God     Send Meyza in next. [06:46] Saki Dad     You didn't need to come     see us. We already know. [06:50] Saki Mom     That's right. We were on the verge      of just asking you to marry Saki. [06:56] Mirai     Hm? Oh, no need for that. [06:58] Saki Dad     I'm sure your parents up in     Heaven are happy about this union. [07:04] Mirai     Yes. [07:05] Saki     Well, that's the formalities out of the way. [07:08] Saki Dad     The rest is up to you youngsters, huh? [07:11] Saki     Yup. [07:14] Saki     I told you not to wear a suit. [07:16] Mirai     I wanted to. [07:19] Saki     Let's stop by the supermarket.      I'll make dinner. [07:23] Mirai     Saki, aren't you tired? [07:25] Saki     I want to. [07:28] Female Announcer     What makes you happy? [07:31] Salaryman 50S     Happy? Staying healthy and going to work. [07:34] Baseball Boy A     Becoming rich.

[07:42] Man 30S     What makes me happy? I don't really     have a good answer for that. [07:45] Man 30S     I guess I'm still looking. [07:47] Woman Teens     When my mom     praises me. [07:47] Man 30S     I guess I'm happiest      when I'm playing     with my dog. [07:47] Woman Teens     Yeah, being      born human. [07:47] Woman 40S     I was moved     when I first     held a child     I gave birth to. [07:47] Man 20S     I felt happiest      on the day of     my wedding. [07:47] Man 30S     When I watch      my kids sleeping. [07:47] Woman 20S     When I'm with     my boyfriend. [07:47] Woman 70S     Recently,     I felt happy     when my     grandchild     massaged my      shoulders. [07:48] Man 40S     Loving someone     and being loved      by someone. [07:48] Man 60S     Having friends. [07:48] Man 30S     Payday! [07:48] Man 30S     I probably     shouldn't say this,     but I feel happy     when I see starving     people. [07:48] Man 40S     When I'm     with my family. [07:49] Woman Teens     Just being     alive makes me     happy, I think. [07:49] Man 40S     When I'm drinking. [07:49] Woman 20S     I agree, but they      won't air that. [07:49] Man 40S     I felt happy     when I built     my house. [07:51] Saki     What makes you happy? [07:54] Mirai     That's bad chopstick etiquette. [07:56] Saki     Oh, come on. What is happiness to you? [07:58] Mirai     Seriously? [07:59] Saki     Yes, seriously. [08:02] Mirai     The meaning of life, I guess? [08:05] Saki     Happiness is the meaning of life?     I'm not sure I understand. [08:11] Mirai     I think everyone wonders at some point why      they were born or what they're living for. [08:20] Mirai     The reason we're born and keep      on living is to find happiness. [08:26] Mirai     My earliest memory is of     my mother telling me that, [08:28] Mirai     and I don't think I've ever     changed my mind about it. [08:32] Mirai     Of course, I have to try to make those     around me happy too, not just myself. [08:39] Saki     It'd be nice if you being happy     automatically made others happy, too. [08:46] Mirai     Yeah. [08:49] Mirai     So what about you, Saki?     What makes you happy? [08:52] Saki     God's protection. [08:53] Mirai     What? God's? [08:55] Saki     Well, we witnessed     Nakaumi ascending to Heaven, [08:59] Saki     and if we hadn't been saved by the angels,     we wouldn't be happy right now. [09:05] Mirai     You're right. [09:07] Saki     So because of that, I pray to God     every day for peace on Earth. [09:17] Mirai     Maybe I'll start doing that, too. [09:20] Saki     All righty. Last question. [09:22] Mirai     What? There's more? [09:24] Saki     I still haven't asked you the     most important question. [09:27] Saki     When do you feel happiest? [09:30] Mirai     You just want to make me say it. [09:32] Saki     It sounds like you figured     it out, so please tell me. [09:34] Saki     Is it when you're eating a     meal cooked by your fiancée? [09:39] Mirai     Then, I'll be serious. [09:41] Mirai     Is it all right if I say      something a little pretentious? [09:43] Saki     G-Go ahead. [09:47] Mirai     When I see you smiling, Saki. [09:58] Saki     Can I stay over tonight? [10:01] Mirai     Nope, not allowed. We only     went to see your parents today. [10:03] Saki     What? Why not? Isn't it fine     now that we've talked to them? [10:07] Saki     I'll call them. I'm sure they'll be fine with it. [10:09] Mirai     Absolutely not. [10:13] Nakaumi God     That just leaves Nasse. [10:14] Ogaro     Yes, My Lord. [10:17] Nakaumi God/Id     Before I talk to Nasse,     I want to ask you something. [10:19] Previous God     What is it? [10:21] Nakaumi God/Id     During the selection process,     I heard Nasse was an exceptional angel. [10:25] Nakaumi God/Id     Nasse was the only one     capable of touching humans [10:28] Nakaumi God/Id     and had a major impact     on the selection process. [10:31] Nakaumi God/Id     Why is this special-rank angel,     Nasse, exceptional? [10:34] Nakaumi God/Id     Who exactly is Nasse? [10:36] Previous God     When I descended to Earth before      any life should have existed on it, [10:41] Previous God     I found a tiny life form there. [10:44] Previous God     That life form was Nasse. [10:46] Previous God     I do not know what kind of life form it was,      whether microorganism or bacteria, [10:52] Previous God     but Nasse entered my body. I removed     this life form as quickly as I could. [10:57] Previous God     If Nasse happened to possess some tiny      fraction of my cells due to this encounter, [11:01] Previous God     I had hoped it would compel this     life form to act in God's interest, [11:07] Previous God     but alas, it would seem     Nasse understands nothing. [11:16] Mirai     I swear to love and support you,      in sickness and in health, till death do us part. [11:25] Saki     As do I. [11:28] Saki     I'm so happy, I could die right now. [11:31] Mirai     Yeah. Me, too. [11:35] Nasse     She just said she could die right now. [11:37] Revel     That's just a sign of how happy she is. [11:40] Nasse     Then, I'm super satisfied. It's finally over. [11:43] Revel     What? [11:44] Revel     "It's finally over"? Nasse... [11:49] Meyza     Nasse, God is calling for you. [11:51] Nasse     Why? [11:52] Meyza     He apparently has a question     for special-rank angels. [11:58] Nasse     What was I before I became an angel? [12:01] Nasse     I don't know. [12:02] Nasse     More importantly, Saki prays      every day for peace on Earth. [12:08] Nasse     Even Mirai said he'd consider doing it. [12:12] Nasse     You seem like you have     something on your mind, God. [12:15] Nasse     All the angels are beside     themselves with worry. [12:17] Nasse     We're worried you might be feeling even     more down or might not be God anymore— [12:21] Ogaro     Nasse. [12:26] Nasse     Aw, shucks. [12:28] Nasse     Well, good luck, God. [12:30] Nakaumi God     Are they telling me to direct my attention     towards the human world and act like a God? [12:36] Ogaro     You do not need to pay any     heed to the things Nasse says. [12:39] Nakaumi God     Anyway, I can't believe those God     candidates worship Shuji Nakaumi as God. [12:44] Sign     Kakehashi [12:48] Sign     Kakehashi [12:49] Mirai     All right, I'm off to make      our store's first delivery. [12:50] Sign     Kakehashi [12:51] Sign     Kakehashi [12:53] Saki     Okay. Take care. [13:00] Nakaumi God     How much time has passed in the human world? [13:02] Ogaro     It has been six years and one day     since Shuji Nakaumi became God. [13:07] Nakaumi God     Six years... [13:09] Nakaumi God     I was told time passed more quickly     in the human world, but that is... [13:15] Sign     Professor     Emeritus     Yoneda [13:15] Sign     Research [13:15] Sign     Lab One [13:18] Yoneda     I've developed the ability to keep      it suspended in space, but... [13:21] Temari     Sir, delivery for you. It's huge! [13:26] Temari     It's from your married friends. [13:28] Yoneda     Friends? [13:29] Temari     I wonder what it is. Let's open it. [13:33] Temari     Wow, these flowers are beautiful!     There's even a card. [13:38] Sign     To Our Dear Friend [13:38] Sign     Professor Gaku Yoneda [13:38] Sign     Mirai and Saki      Kakehashi [13:39] Temari     So you have got friends after all. [13:42] Temari     When did you meet them? [13:46] Temari     Who are the Kakehashis to you? [13:50] Yoneda     I don't have friends. [13:52] Yoneda     If an association must be made between us...     We were fellow soldiers. [13:56] Temari     Fellow soldiers? In what war? [14:00] Yoneda     Now I have to return the favor somehow. [14:03] Yoneda     This is why I dislike     associating with people. [14:06] Yoneda     It costs me valuable research time. [14:09] Temari     Sir, are you smiling? [14:11] Yoneda     I'm not smiling. [14:13] Nakaumi God     I see. So Nasse was right. [14:17] Nakaumi God     What about the others? [14:21] Man 40S     Nakaumi, break time. [14:23] Older Nakaumi     Yes, sir. [14:25] Yumiki     Excuse me. Did you call for me,     assistant commissioner? [14:29] Hoshi     What's the situation? [14:33] Sayuri     It's this part here. [14:35] Minamikawa     Let me see. Oh, this? [14:38] Minamikawa     I don't understand this part, either. [14:40] Sayuri     Aw, come on. [14:42] Nakaumi God/Id     I'm glad everyone seems happy. [14:45] Nakaumi God/Id     But I should be looking at     people who want to die. [14:59] Sign     Annoying [14:59] Sign     Die [14:59] Sign     Gross [14:59] Sign     Don't come to school [14:59] Sign     Worthless [14:59] Sign     When are you gonna die? [15:00] Nakaumi God/Id     How many humans are committing suicide? [15:04] Nakaumi God/Id     Even without my assistance, people     who truly want to die keep dying. [15:09] Nakaumi God/Id     I was the frog in the well... [15:11] Nakaumi God/Id     Shuji Nakaumi was only looking at     the handful of people around him [15:15] Nakaumi God/Id     who said they wanted to die. [15:18] Nakaumi God/Id     Looking at the entire world makes me     want to save them, not help them. [15:22] Nakaumi God/Id     And then there's this world.     What is this place? [15:26] Nakaumi God/Id     Some people live in towers so tall     they look down on the clouds, [15:30] Nakaumi God/Id     while others sit on the ground as they     starve because they have no homes. [15:35] Nakaumi God/Id     Some people eat whatever they please,     then throw away the leftovers. [15:39] Nakaumi God/Id     Some people don't even have     a single cup of water to drink. [15:43] Nakaumi God/Id     Some people control the weak. [15:46] Nakaumi God/Id     Some people have their     lives taken by others. [15:49] Nakaumi God/Id     And then there are the millions     of people who pray to God. [15:55] Nakaumi God/Id     This is the world. [15:58] Nakaumi God/Id     What was the previous God doing? [16:02] Previous God     Watching. God's responsibility     is to create life on Earth. [16:07] Previous God     Life multiplies even      without intervention, [16:10] Previous God     so there is no need to do anything. [16:13] Nakaumi God/Id     No need to do anything? So just let     the humans handle it and do nothing? [16:18] Nakaumi God/Id     Is that the right choice? [16:20] Nakaumi God/Id     If so, there is no need for a God. [16:23] Nakaumi God/Id     No, this God is a false God to begin with. [16:27] Nakaumi God/Id     It said so in the professor's book. [16:29] Nakaumi God/Id     God is imaginary and has no physical form,     so there's no way of knowing if He dies. [16:33] Nakaumi God/Id     As long as there are people     who believe in God, He will not die. [16:38] Nakaumi God/Id     It's not as though Shuji Nakaumi     became God because he wanted to. [16:42] Nakaumi God/Id     He was just a middle school     student who wanted to die. [16:46] Nakaumi God/Id     My death would cause problems for Heaven. [16:50] Nakaumi God/Id     But the Red Arrow I allowed the     professor to keep would vanish. [16:53] Nakaumi God/Id     That would tell him the creature is gone. [16:58] Ogaro     Are you all right? [17:00] Nakaumi God     I'm fine. [17:02] Nakaumi God     But I've learned something. [17:05] Nakaumi God     I must find a way to tell      the professor quickly. [17:09] Nakaumi God     Gather the first-rank angels this time. [17:12] Ogaro     There are thousands of them. [17:13] Nakaumi God     Then, gather the angels chosen     for the God selection process [17:17] Nakaumi God     aside from Muni, Meyza, and Nasse. [17:19] Ogaro     Very well. [17:21] Ogaro     Penema, Baret, Revel. [17:24] Nakaumi God/Id     I won't bother anyone here. [17:27] Previous God     Do not do this. It is wrong. [17:31] Revel     What? [17:32] Revel     No way. [17:34] Penema     What the... H-Hey, Revel! [17:39] Ogaro     The angels are vanishing!     What is happening? [17:42] Ogaro     God... [17:47] Ogaro/Id     Oh, no. The moment I turned my back on Him, [17:51] Ogaro/Id     God killed himself. [17:53] Ogaro/Id     This would never have happened     if they had merged completely. [17:56] Ogaro/Id     I had been trying not to     take my eyes off Him, too. [17:59] Ogaro/Id     Shuji Nakaumi's strong     will delayed their fusion. [18:04] Ogaro/Id     Heaven is done for... [18:13] Nasse     Congrats, Muni.     You've successfully destroyed Heaven. [18:17] Muni     Mm. [18:20] Nasse     I'm going to vanish now, too.     After all, I'm an angel. [18:25] Nasse     Bye-bye. [18:28] Yoneda     The Red Arrow vanished. [18:31] Sign     Kakehashi [18:33] Saki     The flowers... [18:34] Mirai     Huh? [18:39] Mother     My baby! Has anyone seen my baby?! [18:42] Child     Huh? Mari— [18:45] Man 40S     Those grade-school kids disappeared. [18:47] Man 20S     Both of them. [18:58] Sign     All life forms are vanishing [18:58] Sign     All life is vanishing,     starting with the youngest [18:58] Sign     Is it some kind of weapon??? [18:58] Sign     Am I going to die? [18:58] Temari     All life forms are vanishing,     starting with the youngest. [18:59] Sign     It's happening all over the world [18:59] Sign     No! I don't want to vanish! [19:00] Sign     What's happening? [19:04] Yoneda/Id     The Red Arrow vanished.     The angels are gone, too. [19:09] Yoneda/Id     Could this be a message from Nakaumi? [19:14] Mirai     Don't be afraid. [19:17] Mirai     Ogaro said God had the     power to end humanity. [19:22] Saki     Does that mean we're already... [19:25] Mirai     That's probably what Nakaumi chose to do. [19:29] Mirai     Saki. [19:32] Saki     Mirai. [19:35] Mirai     Death comes to everyone.     It's just coming sooner than we thought. [19:39] Mirai     If Nasse and Revel hadn't saved us,     we would've died a long time ago. [19:45] Mirai     So I'm grateful. [19:47] Mirai     Because they saved us,     we found so much happiness. [19:51] Saki     Yeah. [19:55] Mirai     And losing the one I love before     I die would be unbelievably painful. [20:01] Mirai     If I get to die with you... [20:05] Mirai     then I'm happy. [20:12] Saki     Me, too. [20:29] Mirai     Thank you, Nasse. [20:36] Yoneda     There was someone in Heaven who could     create and destroy all life on Earth. [20:40] Yoneda     That was God. That must     be what he's telling me. [20:45] Yoneda/Id     Was my theory wrong? [20:49] Yoneda/Id     No! I'm not wrong. [20:52] Yoneda/Id     No matter what anyone says,     God was created by human imagination. [20:57] Temari     Professor— [21:00] Yoneda/Id     If the creature can eradicate all life, [21:04] Yoneda/Id     then Heaven, the angels, and the creature     itself are humanity-destroying weapons. [21:09] Yoneda/Id     The creature's goal is to kill all life. [21:12] Yoneda/Id     It's far more realistic     to think of it that way. [21:16] Yoneda/Id     The one mistake in my     theory is its organization... [21:19] Yoneda/Id     No, its energy. Precisely! The science of it. [21:22] Yoneda/Id     The science I had yet to discover: [21:25] Yoneda/Id     the identity of the creature. [21:43] Sign     Give up on that planet [21:45] Sign     The life form capable of killing us won't be born there [21:47] Sign     Isn't it worth seeding another God? [21:48] Sign     Wouldn't it be quicker to identify what created us? [21:50] Sign     That line of thinking... [21:52] Sign     It's an endless loop of "Who created that?" [21:53] Sign     It takes us farther away from death [21:57] Sign     We desire death... [22:00] Sign     That is what we seek [22:02] Sign     Existence without death [22:03] Sign     is so tedious and futile [22:07] Sign     We are jealous... [22:10] Sign     When death is guaranteed [22:13] Sign     We are inspired to work hard [22:15] Sign     Our lives achieve brilliance
