Mr. Poliman told me if anyone with Wings shows up,
I have to stay with them, so I don't have a choice.
This isn't good.
Mr. Mukaido!
Is this for real?
A terrorist attack?
What... just happened?
I thought Metropoliman was supposed to show up.
Huh?
Mr. Mukaido!
Mr. Mukaido...
Mr. Mukaido!
No... Don't die...
Please don't die!
I don't want anyone else to die!
He's alive...
Mr. Mukaido survived.
Isn't that great, Baret?
Yes, it is. Though we knew that right away.
K-Kakehashi, is that you?
Yes.
I'm glad I wore this blast suit, just in case.
I knew there was a remote possibility he'd do that, but I never imagined he'd go this far.
He's willing to use more than just his White Arrows to kill people.
You must be happy.
Didn't you say you didn't want to see anyone else die?
Yes.
Girl A must've died in the blast.
I agree with you. I don't want to see anyone die, either.
But we can't afford to be so sentimental.
The real fight begins now.
Huh?
He's here.
What's with the costume?
It's actually pretty cool.
I'll be taking that.
How...
How can you kill people so easily?
It's probably because of these Wings and Arrows I was given.
That's not what I'm asking.
I'm asking you if you think it's okay to kill people.
Kakehashi...
What are you, a child?
It's wrong to kill people.
There's nothing more precious than life. Is that what you want to hear?
You know it's wrong to kill people, so why do you do it?
So I can become God, I guess?
Sacrifices must be made, though I'm trying to keep it to a minimum.
To a minimum, huh?
Nobody ever said that the last God candidate left standing
once we're done killing each other would automatically become God.
You're right. This is just the decision-making process I chose.
You killed Girl A.
You used her to kill middle school girls who had nothing to do with this.
Do you even understand what it feels like to lose a family member?!
Do you know how it feels to lose someone important to you?!
I do.
I lost the family member I loved the most.
So I understand what it feels like. Painfully so.
I know exactly how it feels. But so what?
So...
We're not going to be able to persuade him.
I know, but I can't accept this.
Then, I'll make today the last day anyone dies unnecessarily because of me.
I won't kill anyone other than God candidates.
Isn't that what you want?
We're here in front of the Grand Tower.
We've been told that Girl A was up there when the explosion occurred.
Investigators say it's possible this was a suicide bombing carried out by Girl A.
It'll be fine.
But they went to the tower...
Here's the aerial view of the Grand Tower.
Break -ing News
Over 30 Dead or Injured
Explosion at
Grand Tower
The explosion that occurred was—
Nasse?
Oh! It's Metropoliman!
Look at that! It's Metropoliman, who was last seen at Jinbo Stadium...
Can you fly?
Yeah. Thanks to that, my mind is clear.
Good.
But I have no intention of ending this by just flying away.
I know.
I'd like to avoid letting him escape.
But even more importantly,
I'd like to avoid getting killed and having him take our Wings and Arrows from us.
If he did that, he really would brute force his way to becoming God.
We have to do whatever it takes to shoot him with a Red Arrow.
Right.
But...
Why isn't he leaving?
I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to kill more God candidates, but it's two on one.
He's not the type to pick fights where he's at a disadvantage.
Does he have a plan? Is he hatching one right now?
I don't know what you two are whispering about,
but you're both going to die here.
Meyza!
Watch my back.
Understood.
If he fires his White Arrow, we'll just fly away.
I'll see if I can trick him.
Nasse!
Yes?
You're sure that angel is Meyza, a special-rank angel like you?
Yup, that's right.
Nasse. Baret. You two watch our backs.
Understood.
Hurry up and fire your Red Arrow.
Got it.
Now he'll assume I'm the one with the White Arrow.
What?
Nasse, a special-rank angel, is floating behind me,
and I instructed you to ready your Red Arrow.
It's now clear who he needs to be wary of.
You'll take advantage of that and hit him with your Red Arrow.
Got it.
You two sure are whispering a lot.
So first, I'm going to kill...
You.
Told you.
Kill me? How exactly?
Shall we fight one on one?
What? I'd never do anything so risky.
This is all I need.
Priming code: ENJER.
I planted a bomb in another location.
Even if I left Girl A on top of the tower,
there would've been no point if no God candidates flew over to her.
I planted the bomb so Girl A could threaten to blow up a building if no one showed.
Pretty effective against softies who feel the need to save strangers, don't you think?
It's one of the buildings you can see from here.
And if it explodes... Well, at the very least,
the "precious" lives of the people inside that building will be lost.
Either you'll die, or countless people who have nothing to do with our conflict will.
It's one or the other.
You're lying.
That has to be a bluff you just came up with!
Yeah, he's lying.
If Nasse says it's a lie, does that mean it is?
That angel is skilled at seeing through lies,
but the technique requires looking at a person's face.
It is that angel who is bluffing.
Oh, yeah?
I guess that means you don't care who dies.
You know something?
I wouldn't have had to press this activation key if you'd died in the explosion.
Either way, people will die because of you.
Remember that.
All right, I'm pressing it.
Wait!
Fine. Don't do it.
Mr. Mukaido.
But only one of us will die.
You intended to kill one God candidate in that explosion earlier.
So, having one less God candidate around should be good enough for you, shouldn't it?
Huh.
Okay.
But I get to choose who dies.
And I'm taking the Wings and Arrows they leave behind.
Those are my conditions.
Demakawa here.
This is Metropoliman's first appearance since the Jinbo Stadium incident. Is he
connected to the Grand Tower explosion?
Kakehashi... Mr. Mukaido...
Awesome. A public execution suits me just fine.
I think I'll kill you after all.
Figures. Of course you'd kill the special-rank first.
No, that's irrelevant. It's because you'd be the more difficult survivor to deal with.
There you go again. You know you want another White Arrow.
Either way, I appreciate you overestimating my abilities.
No!
You can't die!
I know.
Nasse might be right. Maybe he is lying.
And what if he isn't?
I'm not just going to let him kill me.
When he fires his White Arrow,
you'll shoot your Red Arrow.
But...
My life is...
At this rate, Mr. Mukaido will die.
Someone's going to die.
The second you fly away, I'm pressing the key.
So if there's no explosion, it'll mean you were bluffing.
You're right!
If a God candidate returns their angel tools
before a new God is chosen, that human will die.
If a God candidate returns their angel tools
before a new God is chosen, that human will die.
Kakehashi!
Interesting.
Wings and Arrows are not affected by objects from the human world,
but a tool from another angel...
Even I did not know they could be used in this way.
What? Not even you?
Why are you interfering?
Don't you care if people die?
I...
I'm going to...
shoot you with a Red Arrow!
You're charging at me instead of firing it? Are you dense?
You're annoying me. I'll kill you first!
Run!
That was impressive.
Why don't you fly away?
Godly moves for someone who will never be God.
How long do you think...
you can keep dodging like that?
I...
I will...
shoot you...
with a Red...
Made you look!
Kakehashi!
What happened to him? It's hard to believe we'll make it out of here in one piece!
How long do you intend to keep this up?
It's so lame.
You're right. It's unsightly.
You're wrong.
It's hella cool.
For some time now, we've watched Metropoliman float around in the sky
Why doesn't he dodge his attacks by flying away from them? Why won't he shoot him?
near two other... um, humans, I'm guessing, wearing some type of armor or power suits.
At this rate, Kakehashi
will be killed!
What should I do?
He can't turn his back on me,
but he also can't take his eyes off Kakehashi.
Kakehashi's desperation has presented us with a golden opportunity.
In that case...
I'll also have to...
do what I can!
Behind you!
Your Arrow!
He... ran?
Should I have aimed for his heart?
No, his suit was bulletproof, so it would've made no difference.
Kakehashi!
I saw him...
I saw his face.
Let's go.
Break -ing News
Over 30 Dead or Injured
Explosion at
Grand Tower
Metropoliman has vanished up into the sky and—
The two other mysterious figures just vanished as well!
Just like at Jinbo Stadium, Metropoliman and the others
Mr. Mukaido! Kakehashi!
repeatedly appear and disappear in a flash.
Not only that, but the armored figure above Metropoliman
Are you all right?
fired several shots at him from something that looked like a gun.
Y-Yeah...
Kakehashi... I'm so relieved.
His mask broke, but unfortunately, our cameras failed to capture his face.
I couldn't shoot him.
It seems as though they'd engaged Metropoliman in combat.
He flinched for a moment when you opened fire on him.
But I couldn't... shoot him.
I can't praise you for the way you fought him, though.
It's a miracle you're even still alive.
Or were you intentionally being reckless so that I'd get an opportunity to shoot him?
As if.
I just didn't want to die. I wanted to shoot him with a Red Arrow.
No, that's not right.
I wasn't thinking anything.
I couldn't think anymore.
I'm not cut out for this.
I'm not cut out for battle.
It's a bit late for that.
I've never even been in a fistfight.
Even when my relatives abused me after taking me in, I just took the beatings.
No matter what people said to me at school or how much they mocked me,
I pretended I couldn't hear, and I never spoke back to them.
I never retaliated.
If you think that's strength, you're wrong.
I know.
It's not strength. It's weakness.
I'm afraid to attack someone.
I'm a coward.
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
Yeah. It's just because you're kind.
People compete with one another and work hard to reach their ideal.
That leads to happiness. I know that.
But what I'm doing now is different.
I don't derive any joy from gaining something by hurting or killing people.
I can't understand how you can be happy doing that!
It's Metropoliman who's killing people and trying to brute force this.
We're the ones trying to stop him.
And even if we end up killing him, he wouldn't exactly be a victim.
Maybe you're right...
But I don't know what I'm doing anymore...
Why... are we doing this?
To be happy.
Right? It's so everyone can be happy.
I received Wings and Arrows from Nasse,
escaped from hell, and now, I'm with Saki.
I felt like I'd ascended to heaven.
I thought I might actually find happiness.
But in reality...
what we're doing now...
is killing each other.
Why won't they let me live a normal life?
Seriously, I'm sick of all this.
I understand how you feel, but there's something we have to do right now.
Tell me what you saw. Tell me about Metropoliman.
Mr. Mukaido.
Kakehashi doesn't seem to have calmed down yet.
And I've had enough for one day, too.
You were really worried about Mirai, huh?
All the hearts in the world wouldn't have helped you survive
the heart attacks that life-and-death tussle nearly gave you.
I see. You're right.
We can pick this up again tomorrow.
Just getting to see his face this time was good enough for me.
Is Kakehashi really... happy being with me?
Sugisaka Surgery
Yes, that should do it.
Anyway, you're the first patient I've had who's had his head grazed by a bullet.
I was shot at close range.
I even made it bulletproof.
That must've been difficult.
Thanks for seeing me outside your consultation hours, doctor.
No problem at all.
The threat of another bomb...
My promise not to kill anyone other than God candidates...
I lied about all of it.
Damn it. Who are those guys?
Hey, good morning.
Did you see the Grand Tower explosion yesterday?
Crazy, huh? So scary.
Hey, he's back.
You know, your stalker.
I'm gonna go talk to him.
It's fine.
Fine? Why?
I seriously doubt you would, but are you dating Kakehashi?
What?
There's a rumor going around. Someone said they saw you two together.
We're not dating.
Well, of course not. Who'd date Mirai Kakehashi, of all people?
Besides, me... and Kakehashi...
I can't fall for him.
