    The following program is intended
    for Mature Audiences only.
[00:00] Maiko
    Hey, he's back. You know, your stalker.
[00:05] Maiko
    I seriously doubt you would,
    but are you dating Kakehashi?
[00:08] Saki
    What?
[00:10] Saki
    We're not dating.
[00:13] Saki
    Besides, me... and Kakehashi...
[00:18] Saki
    I can't fall for him.
[00:21] Maiko
    Right? So you should go
     say something to him—
[00:23] Saki
    I-It's not like that. Um...
[00:25] Saki
    He chased off some boys from another
    school who were bothering me one time, so...
[00:32] Maiko
    No way. That's a surprise.
[00:35] Maiko
    So he's appointed himself
    as your bodyguard, huh?
[00:37] Saki
    Yeah, my bodyguard...
[00:41] Maiko
    But that's even worse.
[00:44] Maiko
    He's getting a kick out of protecting you
     when you never even asked him to.
[00:49] Saki
    Protecting me... makes him happy?
[00:54] Revel
    You mean Saki?
[00:56] Mukaido
    I've been wondering about it for a while.
[00:59] Mukaido
    What made Hanakago lose all hope to live?
[01:03] Revel
    I don't know. She wouldn't
     tell me when I asked.
[01:07] Mukaido
    Then, why'd you make her a candidate?
[01:10] Revel
    Because she tried to kill herself.
[01:14] Revel
    She walked out into the sea in March,
     when it was still bitterly cold.
[02:52] Girl A
    What happened to your head, Uryu?
[02:55] Kanade
    Oh, I slipped on some stairs.
[02:57] Kanade
    But it's nothing serious. It's fine.
[02:57] Girl B
    You look hot in those bandages, though.
[02:59] Girl A
    Right?
[02:59] Minamikawa
    No.
[03:00] Minamikawa
    No, no, no.
[03:03] Minamikawa
    Hold on a minute. Does this mean...
[03:07] Minamikawa
    I'd wish for all ugly girls
    to disappear, too.

[03:11] Minamikawa
    Rumor has it Joso Industries, the company
    Kanade's family owns, deals in weapons, too.
[03:17] Minamikawa
    Getting a flying suit and bombing the
    Grand Tower would be easy for him.
[03:20] Minamikawa
    Is Kanade Metropoliman?
[03:22] Minamikawa
    What if he is?
[03:25] Minamikawa
    We're not particularly close.
[03:27] Minamikawa
    I'm like fish shit to him. Just a hanger-on
    he takes babe-watching sometimes.
[03:32] Minamikawa
    All right!
[03:34] Minamikawa
    I'll just act like nothing's changed.
[03:37] Mukaido
    Can you describe what
    Metropoliman's face looked like?
[03:41] Mirai
    Well, uh, he looked older than me...
    by about two or three years, I guess.
[03:46] Mirai
    He was pale and had striking features.
[03:50] Mirai
    His face was handsome, and he smiled at me.
[03:53] Mukaido
    He smiled?
[03:55] Mirai
    That's all I can remember.
[03:56] Mukaido
    I see. Think you could draw him?
[04:00] Mirai
    What?
[04:00] Saki
    Um...
[04:02] Saki
    Sorry, but I think that's enough for today.
[04:08] Mukaido
    You're right.
[04:10] Mukaido
    Either way, we're going to have to
    search for Metropoliman the hard way.
[04:14] Mukaido
    I'll be counting on your help.
[04:17] Mirai
    Right.
[04:18] Mukaido
    So it's possible he's a high school student, huh?
[04:21] Mukaido
    If we check out the high schools one
    by one, we might find out something—
[04:24] Nasse
    You're the most energetic
    person here, Mr. Mukaido!
[04:26] Mukaido
    Maybe it's because we have a goal, but it feels
     like I have fewer cancer cells day by day.
[04:31] Nasse
    Wow!
[04:44] Saki
    Kakehashi.
[04:48] Saki
    We need to talk.
[04:51] Saki
    Tonight...
[04:54] Saki
    I want you to sleep in my bed.
[04:59] Revel
    Huh?
[05:00] Revel
    What?! Wait! Saki, what are you...
[05:03] Nasse
    What a good idea.
[05:05] Saki
    There's something I really want to tell you.
[05:08] Revel
    You don't need to sleep
     in the same bed to talk!
[05:10] Saki
    No...
[05:12] Saki
    But I don't think I'll be able
    to tell him unless we do.
[05:16] Saki
    Revel and Nasse, I'd like you to
     go somewhere else till morning.
[05:19] Revel
    What?
[05:19] Nasse
    Okay!
[05:20] Nasse
    Sharing a bed for the first time is a special
    occasion for a human male and female.
[05:24] Nasse
    Come on, let's go.
[05:24] Revel
    What? Hey, wait!
[05:27] Nasse
    You're making me angry.
[05:30] Revel
    What is Saki thinking?
[05:33] Nasse
    Saki's the only one I don't understand either.
[05:35] Revel
    What? Seriously?
[05:38] Nasse
    Not even when she's lying.
[05:56] Aya
    Nanato, did you eat yet?
[05:58] Mukaido
    Sorry.
[05:59] Aya
    What do you go and do every day?
[06:01] Aya
    We promised not to keep
     secrets from each other.
[06:06] Mukaido
    Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
[06:08] Aya
    You won't know that until you tell me.
[06:21] Mukaido
    Do you love me?
[06:23] Aya
    I do.
[06:26] Mukaido
    I love you and our children, too.
[06:29] Mukaido
    I'm currently fighting the forces of
    evil who seek to destroy the world,
[06:33] Mukaido
    for the sake of the ones I love.
[06:36] Aya
    Am I supposed to believe that or is it a joke?
[06:42] Mukaido
    Ideally, I'd like you to believe
    me with a smile on your face.
[06:47] Mukaido
    Every day is a battle. Try to understand.
[06:53] Mukaido
    How was that? That was my first time doing
     that wall slap thing. I hope I looked cool.
[06:57] Mukaido
    Good night.
[07:08] Saki
    Kakehashi...
[07:15] Saki
    I...
[07:17] Saki
    want to die.
[07:20] Mirai
    You can't—
[07:20] Saki
    I know.
[07:22] Saki
    But please, just listen.
[07:26] Saki
    Admitting I want to die is the last
    thing I should be saying to you.
[07:34] Mirai
    That day...
[07:35] Saki
    Watching you has made me feel
    like I have to find happiness, too.
[07:41] Mirai
    After you said that, I felt like we were
    allies working towards the same goal.
[07:48] Saki
    Allies?
[07:49] Mirai
    Yeah.
[07:54] Saki
    You call us allies, but all I'm
    doing is being protected by you.
[07:59] Saki
    You're my Wings. I'm literal baggage.
[08:04] Mirai
    You're wrong.
[08:06] Mirai
    It's important for God
    candidates to work together.
[08:11] Mirai
    After meeting Mr. Mukaido, I feel like I want
     to do everything I can as a God candidate,
[08:17] Mirai
    even if I am a pretty pathetic fighter.
[08:21] Mirai
    For the sake of Mr. Mukaido's
     kids... and the future.
[08:30] Saki
    I don't deserve friends or allies.
[08:34] Saki
    Remember how our families used to visit
    the beach and go camping together?
[08:40] Mirai
    Yeah.
[08:47] Mirai
    I found a four-leaf clover!
[08:49] Mirai Dad
    Wow!
[08:51] Mirai Dad
    Now you're bound to find happiness, Mirai.
[08:54] Saki
    Lucky! I'm gonna find one, too.
[08:57] Mirai
    Let's look for one together.
[09:00] Saki Dad
    Saki, we're leaving.
[09:02] Saki
    Aw, what? Just a little longer.
[09:08] Mirai
    You can have this one.
[09:09] Saki
    What? Are you sure?
[09:12] Mirai
    Yeah. You're my friend, so you can have it.
[09:16] Saki
    Thanks.
[09:17] Saki
    Look, a yellow ladybug.
[09:20] Mirai
    He's actually the one who found it.
[09:22] Mirai
    They say ladybugs bless
    people with happiness.
[09:25] Mirai
    Yellow's the color of happiness. And on top
    of that, you've got a lucky four-leaf clover.
[09:30] Mirai
    Nothing can stop you now.
[09:32] Saki
    You're right.
[09:34] Mirai
    Hey, Mirai.
[09:35] Mirai
    Huh?
[09:36] Saki
    We'll be friends forever, Mirai.
[09:40] Mirai
    Of course.
[09:41] Saki
    This four-leaf clover
    symbolizes our friendship.
[09:45] Mirai
    Yeah, gotcha.
[09:49] Mirai
    That was all I needed to be happy back then.
[09:54] Saki
    I said we'd be friends forever, but I...
[09:59] Saki
    I bullied you.
[10:04] Mirai
    You bullied me?
[10:07] Saki
    When you were all alone, not only did I not
     reach out to you, but I also bullied you.
[10:12] Saki
    I called you "Kakehashi Pigsty"
    along with the other kids.
[10:17] Saki
    When you walked by, I held my nose.
[10:20] Students
    Jeez, you stink!
[10:21] Students
    Hold your noses!
[10:22] Students
    Pigsty! Pigsty! Pigsty!

[10:33] Saki

[10:36] Mirai
    Yeah, it was.
[10:43] Saki
    Every time, I went along with
    what everyone else was doing.
[10:47] Saki
    I bullied you. That makes it even worse.
[10:52] Saki
    And then, on that day...
[10:54] Mirai
    What day?
[10:55] Saki
    The day we graduated from middle
     school. I wanted to go apologize to you.
[11:00] Saki
    I thought I'd at least return your
     four-leaf clover, so I chased after you.
[11:06] Saki
    I followed you, but...
[11:14] Saki
    I was so scared, I...
[11:19] Saki
    That's when I met Revel.

    But since then, the things you've
    said have stuck in my heart.
[11:34] Mirai
    I'd rather be bullied than bully someone.
[11:38] Saki
    I could only imagine you were
    speaking directly to me, and...
[11:44] Saki
    It made me wonder why I'm even alive.
[11:48] Saki
    So...
[11:54] Saki
    I want you to kill me.

[12:13] Saki
    Kill me.
[12:15] Saki
    I want you to kill me, Kakehashi.
[12:19] Saki
    Please.
[12:31] Revel
    H-Hey, look!
[12:39] Revel
    Where are they going?
[12:49] Saki
    Kakehashi?
[12:56] Revel
    Wh-What's he doing?
[13:00] Saki
    Kakehashi...
[13:02] Saki
    You're telling me to kill myself
    if I want to die, aren't you?
[13:07] Revel
    Saki!
[13:08] Saki
    Stay back!
[13:14] Nasse
    If you spread your wings in the sky like
    that, the other candidates will see you.
[13:18] Nasse
    Saki, if you wanna die,
    get on with it, will ya?
[13:21] Revel
    Nasse!
[13:22] Nasse
    After all, you already stopped her once.
[13:24] Nasse
    If she still wants to die, then it is what it is.
[13:28] Nasse
    Looks like you chose badly.
[13:46] Revel
    Saki!
[13:49] Saki
    I was lying.
[13:52] Saki
    I don't want to die.
[13:56] Saki
    I want to live!
[13:58] Saki
    I want to open the door to tomorrow
     with you and Mr. Mukaido!
[14:08] Saki
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[14:12] Saki
    I'm sorry!
[14:19] Saki
    You're incredible, Kakehashi.
[14:21] Saki
    You say you'd rather be bullied than
    bully, and that you can't hate people...
[14:26] Saki
    Things people normally
    brush off as lip service...
[14:28] Saki
    But you actually live by them.
[14:31] Saki
    In the presence of someone like that,
    I feel like I have to speak the truth.
[14:36] Saki
    The truth is, I...
[14:39] Mirai
    That's enough now.
[14:41] Saki
    At least let me say this.
[14:44] Saki
    Please forgive me!
[14:47] Saki
    And please, let me stay with you!
[14:52] Mirai
    There's nothing to forgive.
[14:58] Mirai
    I'm not mad.
[15:04] Mirai
    Let's do this together.
[15:06] Mirai
    Like when we searched
    for that four-leaf clover.
[15:21] Saki
    Thank you.
[15:23] Revel
    So you knew Saki was lying
    about wanting to die.
[15:27] Nasse
    Nope.
[15:29] Nasse
    I think Saki only just
    realized how she really feels.
[15:34] Nasse
    If anyone was lying, it was Mirai.
[15:36] Revel
    What?
[15:37] Nasse
    He obviously would've
    saved her if she'd fallen.
[15:43] Revel
    They ended up sleeping in separate beds.
[15:46] Nasse
    They sure did.
[15:50] Mukaido
    So what we've learned
    about Metropoliman so far
[15:53] Mukaido
    is he's between 15 and 20, about 175 cm
     tall, and he's pale and handsome.
[16:00] Mukaido
    From the pieces of mask he left behind at the
     tower, we know his blood type is B-negative.
[16:05] Mukaido
    The police don't have his DNA on file.
[16:08] Mirai
    You looked for a DNA match already?
[16:10] Saki
    What about checking the hospitals?
[16:12] Mukaido
    That might turn something up.
[16:14] Mukaido
    I still have a private eye I shot
    with a Red Arrow. I'll get 'em on it.
[16:18] Saki
    Just to be sure, we should also investigate
    any surgeons who've died over the past two days.
[16:22] Saki
    If necessary, I can use my Red Arrow.
    Let me know if you need me to.
[16:29] Mukaido
    She sounds so dependable.
[16:30] Saki
    Kakehashi, draw what you saw
    under that mask as soon as you can.
[16:34] Mirai
    What? Uh, sure.
[16:36] Saki
    Also, this room is starting
    to feel a little cramped.
[16:39] Saki
    I'd like to relocate to a larger space that'd
    be more suitable as a base of operations.
[16:43] Mirai
    Huh?
[16:46] Saki
    This morning, I shot both of my parents
    with Red Arrows, so I can live on my own.
[16:51] Saki
    Anyway, about our new place...
    What do you think of this?
[16:55] Sign

[17:04] Revel
    Huh.
[17:04] Baret
    It's beautiful.
[17:06] Mukaido
    The angels are more
    interested than we are.
[17:08] Nasse
    It's cramped here with three
    people plus three angels.
[17:10] Mukaido
    Yeah, and I'll be finishing
    up our costumes soon.
[17:14] Mukaido
    I'm deciding on the colors and shapes now so
    that we can recognize each other at a glance.
[17:18] Saki
    Costumes?
[17:21] Saki
    If I can choose my own color,
    I'd like to be yellow.
[17:25] Mukaido
    Yellow? Why?
[17:27] Saki
    Because to me, it's the color of happiness.
[17:32] Saki
    Also, Baret, there's
    something I'd like to ask you.
[17:35] Baret
    Yes?
[17:36] Saki
    I'd like Wings as well.
[17:41] Kanade
    He didn't attempt to use his Arrow even once.
[17:44] Kanade
    No, more accurately, he couldn't.
[17:47] Kanade
    Unlike the Red Arrow, the White
     Arrow never runs out of uses,
[17:51] Kanade
    which means this guy has a first-rank angel.
[17:53] Kanade
    It also means...
[17:55] Kanade
    this idiot who charged me
    has a special-rank angel.
[17:58] Kanade
    He could've killed me with a White Arrow,
    but he tried taking me alive with a Red.
[18:02] Meyza
    What shall we do now?
[18:05] Kanade
    Well, I've got all these Red Arrows.
[18:08] Kanade
    I will find them.
[18:12] Baret
    You want your own pair of Wings?
[18:14] Baret
    The only way to get them is to take
    them from a dead God candidate.
[18:17] Baret
    There are several ways to acquire them.
[18:20] Baret
    First, you can kill a
    God candidate yourself.
[18:24] Baret
    Second, you can shoot a dying
    God candidate with a Red Arrow,
[18:27] Baret
    making you first in line to receive
    the dead candidate's Wings.
[18:31] Baret
    Third, you can be given
    them by a God candidate
[18:33] Baret
    who used methods one or two
     to acquire Wings and Arrows.
[18:36] Mukaido
    In other words, we should kill Metropoliman
    and give his Wings to Hanakago.
[18:42] Mukaido
    We'll be able to take all the Wings
    and Arrows he has in one fell swoop.
[18:45] Baret
    That's correct.
[18:47] Baret
    Finally, fourth.
[18:49] Baret
    If a God candidate dies from
    an illness, an accident, or suicide,
[18:54] Baret
    you can ask the angel transporting their
     body to Heaven to give you their Wings.
[18:58] Baret
    That's all the methods.
[19:00] Mukaido
    In other words, you need to be present
     when my cancer finally does me in.
[19:06] Mirai
    Mr. Mukaido...
[19:09] Saki
    That's not what I want.
[19:11] Saki
    I want to defeat Metropoliman
    together, with both of you.
[19:16] Saki
    I want to be able to fly like you
    so I can help with that.
[19:20] Mukaido
    Yeah, sure, but...
[19:22] Saki
    Receiving your Wings after your
    death won't make me happy.
[19:26] Saki
    I don't want to just be protected, either.
[19:29] Saki
    I want us to work together to achieve
    our goal and be happy together.
[19:34] Revel
    Saki...
[19:37] Mukaido
    Hanakago, I'm delighted
    to hear you say that.
[19:43] Mukaido
    She's changed. Did something
    happen yesterday?
[19:46] Mirai
    Uh, sort of...
[19:49] Mirai
    Maybe this is the real Saki.
[19:54] Revel
    Everyone.
[19:57] Revel
    There's an easy way for Saki to acquire Wings.
[20:00] Mirai
    What?
[20:01] Revel
    I simply need to become a first-rank angel.
[20:05] Nasse
    Hey, you're right! You're so smart, Revel!
[20:09] Mukaido
    Is that possible?
[20:10] Revel
    Baret, I'll swallow my pride and ask you.
[20:13] Revel
    What do I have to do to
    become a first-rank angel?
[20:16] Nasse
    The proud Revel is asking for help?
[20:19] Saki
    Revel...
[20:21] Baret
    There are no rules or test for promotion.
[20:26] Baret
    Angels who are exceptional
    in some way are promoted.
[20:29] Revel
    Then, what if I acquired more
    knowledge than you, Baret?
[20:37] Baret
    That would probably work.
[20:38] Revel
    What? Seriously?
[20:40] Saki
    But then, Baret wouldn't be the
     Angel of Knowledge anymore.
[20:44] Baret
    It's not a problem.
[20:46] Baret
    I've already been demoted
    from special-rank to first-rank.
[20:49] Baret
    Actually, it's more realistic that
    Revel could advance from second-rank
[20:53] Baret
    all the way to special-rank.
[20:54] Revel
    Special-rank?
[20:56] Revel
    I'll do it!
[20:57] Nasse
    Then you'll be special-rank like me!
    You'll even get a White Arrow!
[21:01] Mirai
    Saki will be... special-rank, too?
[21:04] Baret
    But it's not 100% guaranteed to work.
[21:07] Baret
    After all, there are no rules.
[21:09] Nasse
    They say it's determined by God's whims.
[21:11] Nasse
    Good luck, Revel.
[21:13] Revel
    All right!
[21:18] Nanaka
    Here.
[21:19] Nanaka
    You're taking your medicine, right?
[21:21] Mukaido
    You're so kind, Nanaka.
[21:24] Nanaka
    You're kinder, Daddy.
[21:25] Mukaido
    Oh, am I?
[21:27] Nanaka
    You're making clothes for my
    piano recital. Three whole outfits.
[21:31] Mukaido
    Yeah, they're almost done.
    You're gonna love them.
[21:35] Nanaka
    Yeah, thanks.
[21:37] Nanaka
    But I'm too young for a wedding dress.
[21:42] Mukaido
    Y-You saw that?
[21:44] Nanaka
    Sorry.
[21:45] Nanaka
    I went into your room.
[21:47] Nanaka
    We don't know how big I'll get yet.
[21:51] Nanaka
    You can wait until I'm in middle school.
[21:59] Mukaido
    I see.
[22:01] Mukaido
    You're right. How stupid of Daddy.
[22:05] Mukaido
    I'm just so eager to see you grow up
     and get married. I couldn't help myself.
[22:12] Nanaka
    You're hopeless.
[22:13] Nanaka
    I'll just have to grow up big so
     I can fit into the dress you made.
[22:18] Nanaka
    I'll become the perfect
    bride for your dress.
[22:27] Nanaka
    Daddy, I can't breathe.
