The following program is intended for Mature Audiences only.
What are we about to witness here at Jinbo Stadium?
Sakura TV is here to broadcast the whole thing live.
He's here.
He's here! He's arrived exactly on time!
It's Metropoliman!
Look at that!
They're flying!
There're two of them!
U-Unbelievably, two new figures have—
Th-Those silhouettes!
It's Metro Blue and Yellow!
I-I don't believe it! In addition to Metropoliman, there's now a Blue and Yellow!
Three of them appeared all at once!
Kakehashi.
Yeah.
Wings and Red Arrows.
Only first-rank angels or higher have both.
They intend to shoot him? Are they going to fight?
Why? Why isn't he activating his Wings?
Kakehashi.
The Red Arrow can't pierce him?
Damn.
He's already been hit by a different Red Arrow.
Metropoliman meets 11 other warriors?!
He must've been shot by Metropoliman.
Metropoliman meets 11 other warriors?!
Huh? Oh, I get it.
Humans who get hit and controlled by a Red Arrow
can't be hit by a new Arrow until 33 days have elapsed.
So it's not the real Metropoliman in that suit, huh?
Yeah, he's a dummy.
Come to think of it...
When he arrived, it looked more like he fell out of the sky rather than flew down.
He must've dropped him there.
Real
Fake
But there's no guarantee he isn't also a God candidate.
Don't let your guard down.
I know.
What are you talking about?
I am Metropolima—
You're an impostor being made to say that. Isn't that right?
This guy's a decoy. To the real Metropoliman, I say: Get out here!
Metropoliman meets 11 other warriors?!
Huh? What's going on?
Three heroes?
Are they enemies or allies?
They gonna start talking things out now?
What's this? Does this mean that's not the real Metropoliman?
That's what they said, but we have no way of knowing.
Are Blue and Yellow two of his eleven "enemies" after all?
What's going to happen next? Let's keep watching and see what goes down.
I planned to shoot him with my Red Arrow if I saw an opportunity, but...
Tabuchi.
Don't say my name!
If we end up dying here, you won't have any regrets, right?
None. I wouldn't want to live in a world where that shit-heel was our God.
Though... I guess if he actually became God, it'd mean we were dead.
Pretty much.
Get out here!
We walked right into your trap like you wanted!
But nothing can happen until you show yourself!
Are we going to fight or are we going to talk? Which is it?
Well put, Hatakeyama!
We can do this.
Yeah. We're going to turn our lives around.
Liberal Arts
Sciences
"I'll kill myself if I get rejected."
That was the plan, but...
Hey, you went to my cram school...
I can't go to a different college now.
My life is over.
I know how you feel.
Liberal Arts
I already failed once during high school. My life is over.
But you've only failed once before, right?
I failed three times before this. I want to die.
You want to die?
I do.
I've... got some drugs that can induce a painless death.
Huh?
Damn it. There's nothing fun about this.
I was planning on having a blast right up until the moment I kill myself.
How can you enjoy yourself when you know you're about to die?
What? Angels?
"Hope to live"? "God"?
Don't be ridicul—
Wow!
We're awesome!
We can do this!
We understand the law and government
a million times better than the average idiot!
Yeah!
Tabuchi, if I become God, I promise I'll bring you happiness!
And I'll bring you happiness if I become God, Hatakeyama!
We can do this. We can become God!
We know what you're thinking.
You can't shoot Arrows while flying faster than the eye can see.
In other words, you have to show yourself in order to fire them.
To avoid putting yourself in danger, you're using this guy as bait
so you can appear behind any God candidate who shows up
and shoot them with a White Arrow, which would mean one less candidate to deal with.
But after shooting an Arrow, you have to wait at least two seconds before firing a second.
So what happens when two show up?
You can't kill both of us at once!
"Arrows"? "God candidates"? What's he talking about?
Beats me.
Furthermore, the Arrow's range is 31.6 meters.
meters
In order to shoot someone standing on the pitcher's mound,
you have to fire at them from inside the field.
That's why you chose this place.
However, that works out great for us as well.
It means we don't have to fear being shot from the stands!
What's happening? Are they fighting for real?
Oh, shiiit!
They sure know a lot about their abilities.
Yeah. I didn't even know about that "31.6 meter range" thing.
Well, we only have an approximate idea of how it all works.
Wow!
Yeah! Fight!
What will you do, Metropoliman?
Hello.
I am Metropoliman.
Ah! Wh-What's happening now?
Metropoliman's appeared on the jumbotron!
Um... In case you were unsure, I'm the real guy who dresses as Metropoliman.
When Metropoliman appeared on TV yesterday, it was someone else in the suit,
but you two are on the right track.
You're more or less correct.
He's screwing with us.
First off, the guy standing on the mound is an ordinary human I shot with a Red Arrow.
He can't fly or fire Arrows, so you don't need to be so cautious of him.
I will tell you that much.
I thought you said you weren't going to run or hide!
You're also mostly correct about why I chose a wide-open place like this baseball field,
though one correction I will make is...
Red... and White Arrows...
Since the Red and White Arrows are separate objects, if I ready both at the same time,
it takes about 0.3 of a second to fire off a second Arrow.
I don't need two seconds. Sorry about that.
But I don't think I can appear behind the two of you.
Not when you're standing back-to-back and looking around like that.
It'd become an endless loop of appearing and disappearing to get behind each other.
I don't feel like doing anything that stupid and lame.
Anyway, bye.
He vanished?
Wait, what?
Red? White?
What's going to happen now?
Doesn't look like he's gonna show.
Then, there's no reason to hang around.
If you're so scared of us, keep running!
All we have to do is interrogate this guy to get info on you!
It was careless of you to leave evidence behind, Metropoliman!
Let's go, Yellow.
Wait!
I-It's a child!
A young girl's floating in midair!
Wait.
An angel...
Take me with you.
I'm scared of Metropoliman. Please let me join you.
I have Wings instead of Arrows, so I don't know how useful I'll be,
but please!
What should we do? It's possible she's being mind-controlled as well.
Could this also be part of Metropoliman's plan?
I'm being bullied at school.
I was just starting to have some fun after receiving my Wings,
and I didn't want to die anymore.
Bullying, huh?
I got ignored a lot after my family died.
Saki...
It has to be a magic trick.
There aren't any wires.
What's going on here?
Fine.
If you'll allow us to shoot you with a Red Arrow, we'll take you with us.
Okay. Shoot me.
All right. Raise your hands and come closer.
Okay.
Metropoliman!
Too slow.
What are you guys doing?
You know you can't hesitate.
Oh, Mister Metropoliman.
You have to shoot God candidates as soon as they appear.
Take this!
Like I said, you idiots are too slow.
Now it's two-on-two.
You two are way too stupid. I'm disappointed.
I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.
You're starting to annoying me now. Get out of here.
Otherwise, I'll get rid of you.
Huh? He keeps appearing and disappearing.
I have no idea what they're doing.
Two-on-two, huh?
What should we do? For 33 days, that girl will do anything he says.
The saving grace is that she only has Wings.
Hey, that's right.
Isn't this situation the opportunity we were looking for?
We can still do this.
Does anyone want to side with us?
I know there are more God candidates here in the stadium!
Like us, some of you must also not want to live in a world where he's God!
Join us in our fight against him!
We'll defeat Metropoliman together!
But we'll only accept those willing to be shot by our Red Arrows.
Come on down here if you want to join us!
What's he talking about?
Does that mean there's more of them?
I don't get it.
Blue has suddenly started addressing the stands.
Will more of them appear?
Isn't there anyone out there?
This is our chance to defeat him!
I know there's strength in numbers, but...
Yeah. We can't reveal ourselves under these circumstances.
Especially if it'd mean letting them shoot us with Red Arrows.
We'll join you.
Green and Pink?
Metro Green and Pink have appeared in the outfield stands!
I knew we weren't the only ones who wanted to defeat Metropoliman!
They're wearing suits like ours.
Angels may not use
their Arrows or Wings
to directly affect God candidates.
Angels may not use
their Arrows or Wings
to directly affect God candidates.
There's been an unexpected development here at Jinbo Stadium.
Metropoliman, who sought talks with the other eleven, has vanished with a flying girl,
leaving Metro Blue, Yellow, and the fake Metropoliman in the stadium.
And now Metro Green and Pink have appeared in the outfield stands.
Are those two God candidates?
If you want to join us, we'll shoot you with Red Arrows. You okay with that?
We know.
We only have Arrows, not Wings. Is that okay?
Of course. You're welcome to join us.
No Wings, huh?
All right, let's go shoot them.
We'll go over to the stands. Back me up.
Gotcha.
Metropoliman meets 11 other warriors?!
Blue and Yellow are on the move.
Are they going to meet up with Green and Pink?
All right, I was able to shoot them, which means they weren't being controlled.
Just Arrows, huh?
So all we got were guys with second-rank angels?
The weaker someone is, the more they'll want allies.
Nobody expected this to happen after Metropoliman announced that he wanted...
...to talk to his eleven enemies. We still don't know if they're enemies or allies,
but the Super Civilization Squad Metro Five have assembled!
So cool!
That makes four of us who have Red Arrows.
We have a number advantage.
Yeah!
Kakehashi.
If we joined them, Saki and I would make six... Half of the remaining twelve candidates.
Just to be sure, can you summon your Arrows?
Arrows?
I can't honor a request from Yellow.
Attention, everyone!
Mister Poliman has an important announcement to make.
What's going on?
I, Metropoliman...
Metropoliman meets 11 other warriors?!
I'm not actually Metropoliman.
What?
Seriously...
You guys are so stupid.
The real Metropoliman's right here.
Hatakeyama!
Like I said...
You're too slow.
Hey...
Are they really dead?
C'mon now. No way.
Uh, this can't be good.
Nice! Metropon!
He killed him.
Huh?
I liked Mister Blue up until about a second ago.
He's dead.
But I don't feel sad at all.
Mister Poliman, may I ask you a question?
Hm? What is it?
I thought the Metropoliman on the screen was the real one. What exactly is going on here?
He's a human I'm controlling with my Red Arrow.
Huh? What does that mean?
We simply switched places when you went to the outfield stands
Fake
to shoot those two with your Arrows.
Everyone's attention was focused in your direction, so it was easy.
Real
Fake
Real
Anyway, you and Blue are way too scared of Red Arrows.
What?
You were so scared you made a little girl and even Green and Pink raise their hands.
You knew the girl was a God candidate since she had Wings,
but you needed to confirm that the other two had Arrows.
Green and Pink are actually just regular humans.
They're pawns I placed on the board.
What?
Thanks for playing!
There's no way regular humans would get involved.
Does this mean you were controlling... But wait, we were able to shoot them.
It's possible to control people without using Red Arrows.
You can do that?
Want me to teach you how?
Yes! Please!
The answer is...
Money.
They're just part-timers working at a hero show.
Though I did pay them an extraordinary amount.
Hey, Angel. Why are you trying to just casually sneak out of here?
Those Wings and that Red Arrow you gave him are mine by right.
So I'll be taking them.
Thank you.
The Wings and the Arrow passed to him.
Now then...
You two can get out of here.
Huh?
Thanks!
No way.
So far everything's gone exactly as Metropoliman planned it.
He lured three God candidates to him,
killing one with a White Arrow,
and shooting the other two with Red Arrows.
It was naïve of me to think I'd get a chance to shoot Metropoliman with a Red Arrow.
I don't stand a chance against him. If I'm not careful, he'll kill me.
For now, I should just focus on not revealing that I'm a God candidate.
Kakehashi, look.
It's time for the second performance to begin!
What are these things?
Handcuffs?
An escape trick, perhaps?
What's going on? Everyone left.
He said the second act's starting. This should be interesting.
First, Yellow.
You've been hit by my Red Arrow, but there are limits to what I can make you do.
Oh, no, Mister Poliman, I'll do anything you tell me to.
Yeah.
Really?
What if I told you to die?
Die...
It'd be different if you'd done something so terrible to me that it merited death,
but you haven't, have you?
No, I suppose not.
So when I do this...
Hey, careful!
No, no, no! Please don't point that at me!
See? You try to fly away.
There are limits to the Red Arrow's power.
Wait... This is a joke, right? Um...
I'm clearly not joking.
No!
It hurts! It hurts!
Wait, wait, wait! Help me!
Stop!
No, no, no!
Help! Mister Poliman!
Is he really dead?
I thought this was a show.
Isn't Metropoliman supposed to be a hero of justice?
Will Mirai be all right?
Huh? What do you mean?
That girl is next.
I hope he doesn't try to stop him.
Oh, right.
No! No!
No! Help me!
Mommy! Mommy! I'm scared!
Is that girl next?
Yellow collapsed.
This looks bad.
What should I do? What should I do?
I could ready my Red Arrow and fly faster than he can see...
No, I can't!
If he flees before I shoot him, I'd only be revealing that I'm a God candidate.
If I'm not careful, I'll be killed.
I can't die.
I can't die!
But at this rate...
Please don't do this!
Huh? What do you mean, "please don't"?
Unless you suggest something that'll make me want to stop, I won't.
Second-rank angels are such idiots.
How amusing. Beg for her life, too.
Go on, do it!
S-Someone...
Someone help. Please, help her.
Someone help! Anyone!
Someone help!
No! Help me!
Nice. See? You can do it.
Please, someone help! Please!
No! I don't want to die!
That's it, keep screaming.
Please!
Beg for your lives!
All you cowardly God candidates!
Are you going to let this child die, too?
No, no, no!
Don't...
Saki.
No. Don't do this...
Help me!
Please!
Someone!
Anyone!
Make him stop!
