01x06 - Two Painful Options

[bunniefuu]

News bulletin.

The confession note left by the alleged
escaped girl has been revealed.

According to the
Metropolitan Police Department,

-the teenage girl has previously...
-What is this?

...subsequently k*lled
junior high school girls...

The wings and the arrows can be given
to those who aren't god candidates, right?

Yes. But there is a condition.

Could she have gotten them
from Metropoliman?

I recall that those three girls
were k*lled with a knife.

Yes.

They only need a knife.
She doesn't need White Arrow at all.

The photo of the escaped prisoner
has been uploaded to the internet.

She's so adorable, isn't she?

I think she used to be an amateur model.

Her arrest two years ago
had been widely discussed.

According to the witness, the staff at
the Female Juvenile Detention Center,

sent the girl off
at the entrance with a smile.

Then, she disappeared right on the spot.

It seems that she does possess
Red Arrow and the wings.

Oh gosh.

I'm so happy.

So am I.

She has already found a new
junior high school girl.

Hey! You're making such a loud noise.

Mr. Metropoliman.

Did you come for me? I'm so happy.

I miss you so much.

Misurin, who is he?

I don't like men because they are filthy.

But I like Mr. Metropoliman.

I saw the girl on top of the tower.
She was kinda pretty.

I asked you to choose the ugly ones.

What a scatterbrain Misurin is.

That's the best I could do.

She isn't that good-looking actually.

Just forget it.

Complete the task I've assigned to you.

All right!

He has left.

Well, let's continue then.

Let's play a more dangerous game
than before.

Great! I'm so happy!

Gosh!

-Gosh!
-Misurin, what are you doing?

I love to do terrible things.

Well, let's reorganize the information.

Now, Metropoliman has obtained
three pairs of wings and arrows

from the god candidates he k*lled.

Also, wings and arrows
can be given to ordinary

humans who are not god candidates.

But the god candidate

has to sh**t the person with Red Arrow
before he can transfer the tools.

Once the tools have been transferred,

the person can use
the wings and the arrow freely

before the Red Arrow
loses its effect 33 days later.

It means the girl...

...can k*ll as many people as she wishes

with the wings
and Red Arrow within 33 days.

How could he have thought of giving
the wings and the arrows to a m*rder*r?

How dare you Metropoliman.

He's only thinking about
how to become God.

He might be planning to k*ll

the god candidates
who want to stop the girl.

Well, what should we do then?

We can't just sit by and watch.

You also mean whether we should
step into Metropoliman's trap, right?

Yes. That's right.

Mr. Mukaido, what do you think
we should do?

Track down the girl and k*ll her quickly.

The m*rder*r, who loves to k*ll
junior high school girls,

has wings and Red Arrow.

As long as the girls are hooked,
she could k*ll them easily.

Just thinking about this makes me eager
to stop her right now.

I'm tempted to do so after witnessing
a girl getting m*rder*d in the stadium.

Even so, the girl is a trap after all.

Metropoliman will k*ll those
who get close to the girl.

We have to go the other way around

and sh**t him with White Arrow.

This is the best solution.

I'm the only one with White Arrow.

As long as we k*ll Metropoliman,

the girl will turn back
into an ordinary girl.

This way, all will be settled.

Metropoliman is the culprit of everything.

I want to witness
his downfall before I fall.

Don't you feel the same way,

Kakehashi?

I don't want... to k*ll anyone.

Even without White Arrow,

we can use Red Arrow to stop him.

What you said makes sense...

Even if you manage to sh**t
Metropoliman with Red Arrow,

you might get shot
by someone else's Red Arrow...

The situation will be overturned at once.

Metropoliman still has two pairs
of wings and arrows.

He might have given them to other people
besides the girl by now.

We should k*ll him
whenever we have the chance.

That's what I believe.

I get what you all mean.

But my brain can't accept it.

I don't know...

Does it justify k*lling people?

We either k*ll or be k*lled.

Don't you think this is
a legitimate defense?

I'd rather be deceived than lie to others.

I'd rather be bullied than bully others.

I'd rather be k*lled than k*ll others.

Before I committed suicide previously,
I'd been surviving on this mentality.

No matter what, I must not hate anyone.

Hey, are you serious?

It might be true when it comes
to words to live by.

But even kids understand
that's naive thinking.

I know.

It's not the time to talk about this now.

But...

But this is Mirai's strength.

That's what I think.

Why don't you try to think this way?

You are...

No. Hanakago is being hunted
by Metropoliman.

What would you do?

You had the opportunity to sh**t an arrow
at Metropoliman without him realizing it.

You could only sh**t one arrow.

Would you sh**t Red Arrow or White Arrow?

sh**t Red Arrow or White Arrow?

Red Arrow...

or White Arrow?

Red Arrow... No.

What if he'd been shot with Red Arrow?
I wouldn't be able to hit him with mine.

Saki and I would definitely be k*lled.

Well, I would use White Arrow then.

Stop!

Please stop!

What's going on?

White...

The matter...

k*lling with White Arrow... No...

Let's call it a day.

But eventually...

I'll meet you here tomorrow too.

If those scums plan
to lure the god candidates,

they will definitely send a clear signal.

Until then, we must not act rashly.

Kakehashi,
based on the previous assumption,

if the person who would be k*lled was me,

you could use Red Arrow.

Metropoliman will not allow
his allies to sh**t him.

Besides...

Mr. Mukaido,

I'm sorry.

But I hope you will live a long life.

Geez...

I'm on the verge of tears.

Goodbye.

What a useless bunch of policemen.

It's so kind of you to report
the body anonymously.

I have to get them to discover the body
in order to create a big commotion.

Will they fall into the trap like this?

There will inevitably be a few kind fools
amongst the god candidates.

I don't mind if no one turns up.

Minamikawa's wish will be fulfilled
if the ugly girls are decimated.

It's...

just a coincidence, right?

Yesterday, the Ministry of Health,
Labor, and Welfare

announced last year's monthly statistics
on population dynamics.

That's so much medicine to take, Dad.

Please drink some water.

Thank you, Nanaka.

Nanato, you have been going out
quite often lately.

Can your body take it?

It's proof that I'm healthy.

By looking at the respective prefectures,

the Okinawa Prefecture recorded
the highest rate,

while Tokyo was at the lowest.

For you.

Breaking news.

There is an update on
the junior high school serial k*ller

who escaped yesterday.

Late last night,
on top of the Geisha Tower,

the body of the missing girl,

Hikari Yaishi, had been found.

She dropped the body
at such a conspicuous place.

No. It's not a conspicuous place.

Regardless, she wanted everyone
to know that she had wings.

The victim's friend had confirmed that

she was with her
at 1 p.m. yesterday in Shibuya...

Was the girl...

having fun in Shibuya then?

Wait a second.

Could it be... No way.

The carotid artery and both wrists...

The carotid artery and both wrists...

It was the same as the three other crimes
committed by the girl.

Mr. Mukaido is here!

He has given us a fright
at the window six times now.

Is he for real?

This is my angel, Baret.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Nasse. Nice to meet you, Baret.

I'm Revel. Nice to meet you.

That large luggage is...

I borrowed it from the Self-Defense Force.

There are a variety of tools inside.

These might not be able
to fight off White Arrows,

but they can block them out.

We should be using the wings and
the arrows to determine who God is.

It might be considered
as going against the rules.

It is not stipulated that if you use
human-made tools to k*ll god candidates,

you can't become God.

Really?

You're indeed the
Angel of Knowledge, Baret.

I didn't know...

That's good.

Take this.

I...

Is this some kind of joke?

Does it look like a joke?

I am pretty serious.

I know, but that's not it...

Don't you care that your child

will be regarded as the child
of a m*rder*r, a criminal?

I won't be moved by these words.

Listen up.

Regardless of who kills Metropoliman,

the person will become
a hero when the truth comes to light.

Let me tell you now.
I don't want to be a hero.

I don't want to be a father
who couldn't do anything for his children.

Since I am a god candidate,

I will take up the responsibility
and do the best within my capabilities.

It's not the time for discussion.

There will be another victim
if we don't act quickly.

But where is the girl?

I know where she is.

There is a trace in her crime pattern.

It feels so good.

I'm hooked.

Okay. Let's find the next food.

I have to wear something.

What a scatterbrain Misurin is.

THE TOOLS OBTAINED FROM
DEAD GOD CANDIDATES

CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO OTHERS

How is it going?

Did you see any suspicious brats around?

No.

Then, let's display grand fireworks.

All three girls who were k*lled
two years ago wore a sailor suit.

The places of their
disappearance were Shibuya,

Harajuku, and Shibuya respectively.

The victim found at the sky tower
was also wearing a sailor suit.

And she went missing in Shibuya.

It means the m*rder*r
will appear in Harajuku next.

It's breaking news!

Breaking news.

Pursuant to the discovery
of Hikari Yaishi's body yesterday,

another body has been found
at the top of the sky tower.

-What?!
-It was uploaded to social media.

I'm so sleepy.

It seems that the girl
is still at the sky tower.

The fact that Misurin could fly
has caused a big commotion.

-Look! There she is.
-Is she really Misurin?

Visitors, this tower will shut down.
Please immediately...

Sir! Please look up!

What is that?

I dozed off.

What a scatterbrain Misurin is.

Hey.

So sorry, Mr. Metropoliman.

Darn. I thought I could just go to Shibuya
or Harajuku to stop her.

It turns out it was sky tower all along.

This is not a guessing game.

It's better to make it simpler.
In other words...

anyone who can reach the sky tower
is definitely a god candidate.

I see.

We could hide in the crowd at the stadium.

But there is nowhere to hide here.

Is he planning to have an open fight
on top of the tower?

OK, here I go.

Misurin Flash!

Misurin Attack!

Misurin Star Light!

Misurin Galaxy!

Misurin Excellent!

Misurin...

Well...

Rolling Thunder.

Okay, everyone.
Please bring the body down.

And don't allow anyone to come up.

Understood!

What a joke.

I can't believe that I like Misurin
so much.

But she is a m*rder*r.

-All right. Stop complaining. Come on.
-This old man is brilliant!

How is he resisting Red Arrow
to such an extent?

He must sacrifice his life for work!

That's so funny.

Mr. Metropoliman,
the crowd has been cleared.

Then, do as I said.

Okay.

Let's go, Kakehashi.

Metropoliman is probably using
the girl as bait

to lure the god candidates
to the top of the tower

and sh**t them with White Arrows.

It'll be a good opportunity for us
to sh**t the Red Arrow at Metropoliman.

First, I will confront the girl
and be the bait.

Then, you will sh**t the arrow
at Metropoliman when he shows up

because I can't sh**t any arrows now.

Why so?

To find the god candidates in the stadium,

Mukaido had used up all 14 arrows.

Oh yes.

So, are you willing to go with me?

Yes.

Really?

You can use White Arrow if you wish to.

But Red Arrow is already sufficient.

Am I right, Baret?

Yes.

If you give Red Arrow
to the person you've shot,

you can request the person
to sh**t you with the Red Arrow.

But the first Red Arrow
will be invalidated,

and the second Red Arrow
will be in effect.

The table will be turned.

I don't think Metropoliman
will take such a risk.

So, it's safe to say he hasn't been hit
by any Red Arrow.

This is a head-to-head duel.

Change into this. It's for you.

I borrowed it from the Self-Defense Force.

Mr. Mukaido, it looks heavy.

Will it be all right?

Yeah.

It's a strain on a seriously ill person,
but it will not affect the flying speed.

It's fine if he's on his own.

But he has a human follower.

Kakehashi, it fits you well.

This was originally a
racing protective suit

developed by our company.

It is a new material that combines leather
and fragrance polyamide fiber.

It is lightweight, wear-resistant,
and impact-resistant.

Even a blade can't pierce through it.

Then, cover your face
with the dust-resistant mask and the hood.

Due to its high cost,
it couldn't be produced commercially.

I never thought it'd come in handy now.

Mirai looks like a hero.

Baret and Nasse, come with me.

Revel and Hanakago will be staying here.

You won't be targeted here.

-Contact us if anything happens.
-All right.

If we need to fight in the crowd,
I hope you will sh**t the Red Arrow at me

to prevent me from being shot
by someone else's Red Arrow.

I have a family.

I won't consider much about you
as Hanakago does.

So I might go against your intention
and k*ll people.

What do you mean?

This is just an assumption.

If Metropoliman doesn't show up,

I'll k*ll that girl.

She has wings but hasn't been shot
by Red Arrow.

She is an uncontrollable monster.

If I let her go,
more innocent girls will be k*lled.

This serial k*ller should be the one
stabbed to death.

You won't reject this, right?

Please let me k*ll
Metropoliman before I die.

Saki.

If Metropoliman doesn't show up,

Mr. Mukaido will k*ll that girl.

No. We must not k*ll.

Please show up, Metropoliman.

Hey! What are you doing?

He is here.

Online shopping.

I just found a cute ribbon.

I'm not referring to this.
I'm asking why you are here.

I'm waiting for Mr. Metropoliman.

Is he going to show up?

Hey, don't stand at the edge. Come over.

You wanted to do something bad to me.
Why are you hesitating?

Where is he?

Where is he hiding?

"If someone flies over with wings,
stay by them."

That's what Mr. Metropoliman
ordered me to do.

What can I say?

This is bad.

Mr. Mukaido!
