The following program is intended
for Mature Audiences only.
**[00:00] Misurin**
Mr. Poliman told me if
anyone with Wings shows up,
**[00:04] Misurin**
I *have* to stay with them,
so I don't have a choice.
**[00:09] Mukaido**
*This isn't good.*
**[00:16] Mirai**
Mr. Mukaido!
**[00:23] Man 1**
Is this for real?
**[00:24] Man 2**
A terrorist attack?
**[00:27] Mirai**
*What... just happened?*
**[00:30] Mirai**
* I thought Metropoliman*
* was supposed to show up.*
**[00:33] Mirai**
Huh?
**[00:35] Mirai**
Mr. Mukaido!
**[00:44] Mirai**
Mr. Mukaido...
**[00:45] Mirai**
Mr. Mukaido!
**[00:49] Mirai**
No... Don't die...
**[00:52] Mirai**
*Please* don't die!
**[00:54] Mirai**
I don't want anyone else to die!
**[01:04] Mirai**
He's alive...
**[01:07] Nasse**
Mr. Mukaido survived.
**[01:08] Nasse**
Isn't that great, Baret?
**[01:10] Baret**
Yes, it is. Though we knew that right away.
**[01:14] Mukaido**
K-Kakehashi, is that you?
**[01:17] Mirai**
Yes.
**[01:18] Mukaido**
I'm glad I wore this blast suit, just in case.
**[01:22] Mukaido**
I knew there was a remote possibility he'd
do that, but I never imagined he'd go *this* far.
**[01:26] Mukaido**
He's willing to use more than just
his White Arrows to kill people.
**[01:32] Mukaido**
You must be happy.
**[01:34] Mukaido**
Didn't you say you didn't
want to see anyone else die?
**[01:40] Mirai**
Yes.
**[01:44] Mukaido**
Girl A must've died in the blast.
**[01:47] Mukaido**
I agree with you. I don't want
to see anyone die, either.
**[01:53] Mukaido**
But we can't afford to be so sentimental.
**[01:57] Mukaido**
The real fight begins now.
**[01:59] Mirai**
Huh?
**[02:00] Mukaido**
He's here.
**[02:01] Metropoliman**
What's with the costume?
**[02:03] Metropoliman**
It's actually pretty cool.
**[02:06] Metropoliman**
I'll be taking that.
**[03:40] Mirai**
How...
**[03:42] Mirai**
How can you kill people so easily?
**[03:45] Metropoliman**
It's probably because of these
Wings and Arrows I was given.
**[03:49] Mirai**
That's not what I'm asking.
**[03:53] Mirai**
I'm asking you if you think
it's okay to kill people.
**[03:57] Mukaido**
Kakehashi...
**[03:58] Metropoliman**
What are you, a child?
**[04:05] Metropoliman**
It's wrong to kill people.
**[04:08] Metropoliman**
There's nothing more precious than life.
Is that what you want to hear?
**[04:12] Mirai**
You know it's wrong to kill
people, so why do you do it?
**[04:16] Metropoliman**
So I can become God, I guess?
**[04:18] Metropoliman**
Sacrifices must be made, though
I'm trying to keep it to a minimum.
**[04:24] Mukaido**
To a minimum, huh?
**[04:27] Mirai**
Nobody ever said that the last
God candidate left standing
**[04:30] Mirai**
once we're done killing each other
would automatically become God.
**[04:34] Metropoliman**
You're right. This is just the
decision-making process I chose.
**[04:38] Mirai**
You killed Girl A.
**[04:40] Mirai**
You used her to kill middle school girls
who had nothing to do with this.
**[04:44] Mirai**
Do you even understand what it
feels like to lose a family member?!
**[04:48] Mirai**
Do you know how it feels to lose
someone important to you?!
**[04:54] Metropoliman**
I do.
**[04:57] Metropoliman**
I lost the family member I loved the most.
**[05:02] Metropoliman**
So I understand what it
feels like. Painfully so.
**[05:06] Metropoliman**
I know exactly how it feels. But so what?
**[05:11] Kanade**
*So...*
**[05:14] Mukaido**
We're not going to be able to persuade him.
**[05:16] Mirai**
I know, but I can't accept this.
**[05:19] Metropoliman**
Then, I'll make today the last day
anyone dies unnecessarily because of me.
**[05:23] Metropoliman**
I won't kill anyone other
than God candidates.
**[05:28] Metropoliman**
Isn't that what you want?
**[05:30] Woman Reporter**
*We're here in front of the Grand Tower.*
**[05:31] Woman Rerpoter**
* We've been told that Girl A was up*
* there when the explosion occurred.*
**[05:34] Woman Reporter**
* Investigators say it's possible this was*
* a suicide bombing carried out by Girl A.*
**[05:35] Revel**
It'll be fine.
**[05:36] Saki**
But they went to the tower...

**[05:48] Mirai**
Can you fly?
**[05:49] Mukaido**
Yeah. Thanks to that, my mind is clear.
**[05:52] Mirai**
Good.
**[05:53] Mukaido**
But I have no intention of
ending this by just flying away.
**[05:57] Mirai**
I know.
**[05:59] Mukaido**
I'd like to avoid letting him escape.
**[06:01] Mukaido**
But even more importantly,
**[06:03] Mukaido**
I'd like to avoid getting killed and having
him take our Wings and Arrows from us.
**[06:08] Mukaido**
If he did that, he really would
brute force his way to becoming God.
**[06:12] Mukaido**
We have to do whatever it takes
to shoot him with a Red Arrow.
**[06:15] Mirai**
Right.
**[06:17] Mukaido**
But...
**[06:19] Mukaido**
Why isn't he leaving?
**[06:22] Mukaido**
I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to kill
more God candidates, but it's two on one.
**[06:27] Mukaido**
He's not the type to pick fights
where he's at a disadvantage.
**[06:30] Mukaido**
Does he have a plan?
Is he hatching one right now?
**[06:34] Metropoliman**
I don't know what you two
are whispering about,
**[06:37] Metropoliman**
but you're both going to die here.
**[06:40] Metropoliman**
Meyza!
**[06:43] Metropoliman**
Watch my back.
**[06:46] Meyza**
Understood.
**[06:48] Mukaido**
If he fires his White Arrow,
we'll just fly away.
**[06:51] Mukaido**
I'll see if I can trick him.
**[06:53] Mukaido**
Nasse!
**[06:54] Nasse**
Yes?
**[06:55] Mukaido**
You're sure that angel is Meyza,
a special-rank angel like you?
**[06:59] Nasse**
Yup, that's right.
**[07:01] Mukaido**
Nasse. Baret. You two watch our backs.
**[07:04] Baret**
Understood.
**[07:05] Mukaido**
Hurry up and fire your Red Arrow.
**[07:07] Mirai**
Got it.
**[07:10] Mukaido**
Now he'll assume I'm the
one with the White Arrow.
**[07:14] Mirai**
What?
**[07:15] Mukaido**
Nasse, a special-rank angel,
is floating behind me,
**[07:18] Mukaido**
and I instructed you to
ready your Red Arrow.
**[07:21] Mukaido**
It's now clear who he needs to be wary of.
**[07:24] Mukaido**
You'll take advantage of that and
hit him with your Red Arrow.
**[07:27] Mirai**
Got it.
**[07:28] Metropoliman**
You two sure are whispering a lot.
**[07:32] Metropoliman**
So first, I'm going to kill...
**[07:39] Metropoliman**
You.
**[07:41] Mukaido**
Told you.
**[07:43] Mukaido**
Kill me? How exactly?
**[07:46] Mukaido**
Shall we fight one on one?
**[07:47] Metropoliman**
What? I'd never do anything so risky.
**[07:50] Metropoliman**
This is all I need.
**[07:52] Metropoliman**
Priming code: ENJER.
**[07:58] Metropoliman**
I planted a bomb in another location.
**[08:02] Metropoliman**
Even if I left Girl A on top of the tower,
**[08:04] Metropoliman**
there would've been no point if no
God candidates flew over to her.
**[08:08] Metropoliman**
I planted the bomb so Girl A could threaten
to blow up a building if no one showed.
**[08:14] Metropoliman**
Pretty effective against softies who feel
the need to save strangers, don't you think?
**[08:19] Metropoliman**
It's one of the buildings
you can see from here.
**[08:23] Metropoliman**
And if it explodes... Well, at the very least,
**[08:26] Metropoliman**
the "precious" lives of the people
inside that building will be lost.
**[08:30] Metropoliman**
Either you'll die, or countless people who
have nothing to do with our conflict will.
**[08:35] Metropoliman**
It's one or the other.
**[08:38] Mukaido**
You're lying.
**[08:39] Mukaido**
That *has* to be a bluff you just came up with!
**[08:42] Nasse**
Yeah, he's lying.
**[08:43] Mirai**
* If Nasse says it's a lie,*
* does that mean it is?*
**[08:46] Meyza**
That angel is skilled
at seeing through lies,
**[08:50] Meyza**
but the technique requires
looking at a person's face.
**[08:54] Meyza**
It is that angel who is bluffing.
**[08:58] Metropoliman**
Oh, yeah?
**[08:59] Metropoliman**
I guess that means you don't care who dies.
**[09:02] Metropoliman**
You know something?
**[09:04] Metropoliman**
I wouldn't have had to press this activation
key if you'd died in the explosion.
**[09:07] Metropoliman**
Either way, people will die because of you.
**[09:10] Metropoliman**
Remember that.
**[09:12] Metropoliman**
All right, I'm pressing it.
**[09:16] Mukaido**
Wait!
**[09:18] Mukaido**
Fine. Don't do it.
**[09:21] Mirai**
Mr. Mukaido.
**[09:22] Mukaido**
But only one of us will die.
**[09:27] Mukaido**
You intended to kill one God
candidate in that explosion earlier.
**[09:32] Mukaido**
So, having one less God candidate around
should be good enough for you, shouldn't it?
**[09:37] Metropoliman**
Huh.
**[09:39] Metropoliman**
Okay.
**[09:41] Metropoliman**
But I get to choose who dies.
**[09:45] Metropoliman**
And I'm taking the Wings and
Arrows they leave behind.
**[09:49] Metropoliman**
Those are my conditions.
**[09:54] Demakawa**
Demakawa here.
**[09:56] Demakawa**
This is Metropoliman's first appearance
since the Jinbo Stadium incident. Is he
**[09:59] Demakawa**
* connected to the*
* Grand Tower explosion?*
**[10:01] Mirai**
Kakehashi... Mr. Mukaido...
**[10:09] Metropoliman**
Awesome. A public
execution suits me just fine.
**[10:13] Metropoliman**
I think I'll kill you after all.
**[10:17] Mukaido**
Figures. Of course you'd
kill the special-rank first.
**[10:21] Metropoliman**
No, that's irrelevant. It's because you'd be
the more difficult survivor to deal with.
**[10:26] Mukaido**
There you go again. You know
you want another White Arrow.
**[10:30] Mukaido**
Either way, I appreciate you
overestimating my abilities.
**[10:33] Mirai**
No!
**[10:34] Mirai**
You can't die!
**[10:36] Mukaido**
I know.
**[10:37] Mirai**
Nasse might be right. Maybe he *is* lying.
**[10:40] Mukaido**
And what if he isn't?
**[10:42] Mukaido**
I'm not just going to let him kill me.
**[10:44] Mukaido**
When he fires his White Arrow,
**[10:47] Mukaido**
you'll shoot your Red Arrow.
**[10:50] Mirai**
But...
**[10:52] Mukaido**
My life is...
**[11:05] Mirai**
*At this rate, Mr. Mukaido will die.*
**[11:08] Mirai**
*Someone's going to die.*
**[11:16] Metropoliman**
The second you fly away, I'm pressing the key.
**[11:20] Mukaido**
So if there's no explosion,
it'll mean you were bluffing.
**[11:24] Metropoliman**
You're right!

**[11:50] Mukaido**
Kakehashi!
**[11:51] Baret**
Interesting.
**[11:53] Baret**
Wings and Arrows are not affected
by objects from the human world,
**[11:56] Baret**
but a tool from another angel...
**[11:59] Baret**
Even I did not know they
could be used in this way.
**[12:02] Nasse**
What? Not even you?
**[12:04] Metropoliman**
Why are you interfering?
**[12:08] Metropoliman**
Don't you care if people die?
**[12:12] Mirai**
I...
**[12:13] Mirai**
I'm going to...
**[12:16] Mirai**
shoot you with a Red Arrow!
**[12:34] Metropoliman**
You're charging at me instead
of firing it? Are you dense?
**[12:40] Metropoliman**
You're annoying me. I'll kill you first!
**[12:44] Mukaido**
Run!
**[12:59] Metropoliman**
That was impressive.
**[13:04] Metropoliman**
Why don't you fly away?
**[13:09] Metropoliman**
Godly moves for someone
who will never be God.
**[13:12] Metropoliman**
How long do you think...
**[13:15] Metropoliman**
you can keep dodging like that?
**[13:26] Mirai**
I...
**[13:29] Mirai**
I will...
**[13:32] Mirai**
shoot you...
**[13:36] Mirai**
with a Red...
**[13:41] Metropoliman**
Made you look!
**[13:50] Mukaido**
Kakehashi!
**[13:52] Mukaido**
* What happened to him? It's hard to believe*
* we'll make it out of here in one piece!*
**[13:58] Metropoliman**
How long do you intend to keep this up?
**[14:01] Metropoliman**
It's so lame.
**[14:05] Meyza**
You're right. It's unsightly.
**[14:07] Nasse**
You're wrong.
**[14:10] Nasse**
It's *hella* cool.
**[14:14] Demakawa**
* For some time now, we've watched*
* Metropoliman float around in the sky*
**[14:15] Saki**
* Why doesn't he dodge his attacks by flying*
* away from them? Why won't he shoot him?*
**[14:17] Demakawa**
* near two other... um, humans, I'm guessing,*
* wearing some type of armor or power suits.*
**[14:19] Saki**
*At this rate, Kakehashi*
**[14:22] Saki**
*will be killed!*
**[14:41] Mukaido**
*What should I do?*
**[14:44] Mukaido**
*He can't turn his back on me,*
**[14:46] Mukaido**
* but he also can't take*
* his eyes off Kakehashi.*
**[14:50] Mukaido**
* Kakehashi's desperation has presented*
* us with a golden opportunity.*
**[14:55] Mukaido**
*In that case...*
**[14:57] Mukaido**
*I'll also have to...*
**[15:00] Mukaido**
do what I can!
**[15:07] Meyza**
Behind you!
**[15:13] Mukaido**
Your Arrow!
**[15:37] Mukaido**
He... ran?
**[15:42] Mukaido**
Should I have aimed for his heart?
**[15:44] Mukaido**
No, his suit was bulletproof, so
it would've made no difference.
**[15:50] Mukaido**
Kakehashi!
**[15:57] Mirai**
I saw him...
**[16:00] Mirai**
I saw his face.
**[16:12] Mukaido**
Let's go.

He flinched for a moment
when you opened fire on him.
**[16:52] Mirai**
But I couldn't... shoot him.
**[17:00] Mukaido**
I can't praise you for the way
you fought him, though.
**[17:05] Mukaido**
It's a miracle you're even still alive.
**[17:08] Mukaido**
Or were you intentionally being reckless
so that I'd get an opportunity to shoot him?
**[17:15] Mirai**
As if.
**[17:17] Mirai**
I just didn't want to die. I wanted
to shoot him with a Red Arrow.
**[17:23] Mirai**
No, that's not right.
**[17:26] Mirai**
I wasn't thinking anything.
**[17:30] Mirai**
I couldn't think anymore.
**[17:34] Mirai**
I'm not cut out for this.
**[17:38] Mirai**
I'm not cut out for battle.
**[17:42] Mukaido**
It's a bit late for that.
**[17:44] Mirai**
I've never even been in a fistfight.
**[17:47] Mirai**
Even when my relatives abused me after
taking me in, I just took the beatings.
**[17:54] Mirai**
No matter what people said to me at
school or how much they mocked me,
**[18:00] Mirai**
I pretended I couldn't hear,
and I never spoke back to them.
**[18:04] Mirai**
I never retaliated.
**[18:05] Mukaido**
If you think that's strength, you're wrong.
**[18:09] Mirai**
I know.
**[18:12] Mirai**
It's not strength. It's weakness.
**[18:17] Mirai**
I'm afraid to attack someone.
**[18:20] Mirai**
I'm a coward.
**[18:22] Mukaido**
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
**[18:25] Nasse**
Yeah. It's just because you're kind.
**[18:29] Mirai**
People compete with one another
and work hard to reach their ideal.
**[18:34] Mirai**
That leads to happiness. I know that.
**[18:40] Mirai**
But what I'm doing now is different.
**[18:46] Mirai**
I don't derive any joy from gaining
something by hurting or killing people.
**[18:51] Mirai**
I can't understand how you
can be happy doing that!
**[18:54] Mukaido**
It's Metropoliman who's killing people
and trying to brute force this.
**[18:59] Mukaido**
We're the ones trying to stop him.
**[19:01] Mukaido**
And even if we end up killing him,
he wouldn't exactly be a victim.
**[19:05] Mirai**
Maybe you're right...
**[19:08] Mirai**
But I don't know what I'm doing anymore...
**[19:14] Mirai**
Why... are we doing this?
**[19:18] Nasse**
To be happy.
**[19:24] Nasse**
Right? It's so everyone can be happy.
**[19:38] Mirai**
I received Wings and Arrows from Nasse,
**[19:41] Mirai**
escaped from hell, and now, I'm with Saki.
**[19:44] Mirai**
I felt like I'd ascended to heaven.
**[19:47] Mirai**
I thought I might actually find happiness.
**[19:50] Mirai**
But in reality...
**[19:53] Mirai**
what we're doing now...
**[19:56] Mirai**
is killing each other.
**[19:59] Mirai**
Why won't they let me live a normal life?
**[20:03] Mirai**
Seriously, I'm sick of all this.
**[20:07] Mukaido**
I understand how you feel, but there's
something we have to do right now.
**[20:14] Mukaido**
Tell me what you saw.
Tell me about Metropoliman.
**[20:17] Saki**
Mr. Mukaido.
**[20:20] Saki**
Kakehashi doesn't seem
to have calmed down yet.
**[20:23] Saki**
And I've had enough for one day, too.
**[20:26] Revel**
You were really worried about Mirai, huh?
**[20:29] Revel**
All the hearts in the world
wouldn't have helped you survive
**[20:32] Revel**
the heart attacks that life-and-death
tussle nearly gave you.
**[20:35] Mukaido**
I see. You're right.
**[20:38] Mukaido**
We can pick this up again tomorrow.
**[20:41] Mukaido**
Just getting to see his face this
time was good enough for me.
**[20:48] Saki**
*Is Kakehashi really... happy being with me?*
**[20:54] Sign**
Sugisaka Surgery
**[20:54] Sign**
Sugisaka Surgery
**[20:55] Doctor**
Yes, that should do it.
**[20:58] Doctor**
Anyway, you're the first patient I've had
who's had his head grazed by a bullet.
**[21:05] Kanade**
I was shot at close range.
**[21:07] Kanade**
I even made it bulletproof.
**[21:09] Doctor**
That must've been difficult.
**[21:12] Kanade**
Thanks for seeing me outside
your consultation hours, doctor.
**[21:15] Doctor**
No problem at all.
**[21:18] Kanade**
The threat of another bomb...
**[21:21] Kanade**
My promise not to kill anyone
other than God candidates...
**[21:24] Kanade**
I lied about all of it.
**[21:26] Kanade**
Damn it. Who are those guys?
**[21:30] Student**
Hey, good morning.
**[21:31] Maiko**
Did you see the Grand Tower
explosion yesterday?
**[21:34] Maiko**
Crazy, huh? So scary.
**[21:40] Maiko**
Hey, he's back.
**[21:44] Maiko**
You know, your stalker.
**[21:50] Maiko**
I'm gonna go talk to him.
**[21:52] Saki**
It's fine.
**[21:53] Maiko**
Fine? Why?
**[21:57] Maiko**
I seriously doubt you would,
but are you dating Kakehashi?
**[22:01] Saki**
What?
**[22:02] Maiko**
There's a rumor going around.
Someone said they saw you two together.
**[22:08] Saki**
We're not dating.
**[22:10] Maiko**
Well, of *course* not. Who'd date
Mirai Kakehashi, of all people?
**[22:17] Saki**
Besides, me... and Kakehashi...
**[22:22] Saki**
I can't fall for him.
