Platinum End (2021) s01e01 Episode Script

Gift from an Angel

1
We are all born to be happy.
We live on for a happier life.
I wanted to get into
Shuei High School too.
All right. Stop crying.
See you at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
Let's go to karaoke during the break.
Yashiro, we're best friends even
when we're in high school, right?!
Stop it. You're creeping me out!
I will be lonely.
Okay.
I'm going to jump.
I wanted
to be happy.
I still have consciousness.
Have I reached the other world?
Does it even exist?
Heaven and hell
What's going on?
What?
This can't be real
An angel?
So an angel does exist.
I guess it's all good
if she's taking me to heaven.
Fortunately, I came in time,
Mirai Kakehashi.
Came in time?
I caught you right before you fell
to the ground.
That's why you are not dead.
Just take a look below and you'll see.
Below?
Take a good look.
See?
Your body isn't there
and no one's making a scene.
How could it be?
Is this real life?
Am I
not dead?
That's right.
I'm your savior.
No, I'm your guardian angel. Get it?
Are you kidding me?
Stop being so nosy. Drop me now.
No!
I'm here to bring you happiness.
Happiness?
That's right.
Didn't you say you wanted to be happy
as you jumped off the building?
I never said that.
No! You did.
Even if I did, I have already
given up long ago.
Please.
Let me die.
I am at my wits' end.
Since that day,
I have already
I know.
You lost your whole family
when you were seven, right?
You
Then, you were adopted by your aunt.
Since then,
you have been living in pain every day.
Who do you think took you in?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-Don't make noise.
-I'm sorry.
I have neither family
nor friends.
I can't take this anymore
There is only pain if I live on.
There is no hope for my future
left in this world
That's why as a special-rank angel,
I'm here to give you the hope to live on.
Hope?
Hey!
The hope to live on
refers to freedom or love.
What is she talking about?
I just want to die.
Ridiculous.
Do you really think so?
What about this?
I will set you free
from being bound like a slave,
so you are free to go anywhere
whenever you like.
As for love,
I will make you,
who have no family and friends,
gain admiration from everyone.
It only sounds good
Huh?
But how will you give me those?
Freedom and love.
Both are invisible to the naked eye
and formless.
Nope!
You have seen one of them now.
Look! This pair of wings!
It allows you to fly at a speed invisible
to the human eyes.
You can go wherever you want.
This is freedom.
Or this is love.
Angel Arrows.
By just shooting this Red Arrow,
both men and women
will fall head over heels for you.
Aren't they amazing?
Choose one.
The wings or the arrow?
One of these
can give you the hope to live on.
Which one would you like?
Is this some kind of psychic scam?
I've got nothing
of that sort left in me
It doesn't matter if I get to choose.
I just want to die.
Give me both then.
I'll consider it if you do.
I'll give you both then.
Aren't I suppose to choose one only?
I just asked out of routine.
That's settled then.
No. I don't need any of those.
I just want to die.
-Accept them!
-Stop bothering
What are these things?
The angel collar
will transform into wings.
The bracelet will
transform into an arrow.
-Wait a second
-It's too late.
Those angel rings can't be taken off now.
Can't be taken off?
It's weird wearing these rings around!
Don't worry. No one can see them.
But humans who are accompanied
by angels will be able to see them.
What?
Humans who are accompanied by angels?
There are others like you?
Yes, there are.
Until God is chosen.
God?
We'll talk about this next time.
Okay?
Let's try it out then!
Wait a second. I haven't
Mirai!
Please try to fly now, okay?
Geez you're annoying.
Let's start with the wings.
"Open! Angel wings"
or something like that?
You did it! Great!
What? That's huge.
It's all right, even if it's big.
After all, they can't be seen
and won't bump into things.
Okay. Try to fly now.
Well, it's easy for you to say
Will the wings really
take off if I ask them to?
Wow! He has soared away.
What is this?
Incredible
Amazing.
I never thought it could be so soothing.
Although I'd dreamed of flying in the sky,
this far exceeds what I had imagined.
And this is not a dream
Why am I crying?
So beautiful.
Is this the hope in living?
This is freedom.
Why is everything green?
What's going on?
I'll give you mine.
Really?
Sure!
I gave it to you
because you are my friend.
Thank you.
Today was the graduation day.
You are doing well as a beginner.
And you are not afraid at all.
I proved myself back when I jumped
off that building without the wings.
Isn't it fun to be able to fly freely?
Right? Isn't it amazing?
Since you can fly so fast
and no one can see you,
you can steal anything you want,
whether it's bread or money.
The arrow is amazing too.
Just strike it on someone,
and they will fall in love with you.
You can manipulate their minds.
Are you really an angel?
Of course! I'm a special-rank.
The rank above
the second-rank and the first-rank.
You talk about stealing things
and manipulating minds.
You speak like a devil.
How bold of you
I thought you said you've never met
an angel or devil before.
Besides, devils do not exist.
They only exist in humans' hearts.
Humans' hearts?
In that sense,
I reckon devils exist in your uncle's
and aunt's hearts
because they killed someone
for their selfish desires.
Huh?
They killed someone?
They killed your family
and made it look like an accident.
What are you talking about?
I have been observing you.
I know everything about you.
It was them that caused my family
What do you mean
What do you mean
I was in pain, but I felt helpless.
I am not their biological child.
And I thought I was part of the reason
why I was put in a position like that.
But I couldn't do anything.
That's why
I wanted to end it all today.
They killed my family? How could it be?
Do you think I'm lying, Mirai?
Well, use the arrow to confirm it then.
The arrow?
Really.
What is this?
Look who decided to come home late.
You're creeping me out
standing there all dazed.
You came home in time.
Go and buy a lighter for me.
Your aunt can't see me.
Um, Auntie
Well, I have something to ask
Shut up.
Get on with your errands.
You useless brat.
Didn't you hear me? Hey, Mirai!
What are you doing?
You're creeping me out.
Honestly, I don't want someone like you
to fall in love with me but
You did it! She will listen to you now.
I can manipulate people with this?
Mirai.
I'm so sorry.
I actually like you very much.
But my husband
Stop it!
Mi Mirai.
It's very effective, isn't it?
This is the power of Red Arrow.
Auntie,
did you two
Did you two kill my family?
Did you and uncle kill them?
No No! I was against it.
It was my husband who made me do it.
It was a plot planned by that man alone!
Because I
-I actually like you very much.
-It's true.
-Why did you do such a thing?
-No. It wasn't me.
Will you two quiet down?!
You have disturbed my sleep.
What is this? Mirai, you're back.
What are you two arguing about?
It was him!
He said because my dad
owned many properties,
if my brother died, all the
properties would fall into my hand.
That's why I tampered with their car!
Stop it!
Because I knew your mom
and my brother would drive Akira
to school every day.
What are you talking about?
No way
Brother, I'm leaving!
Don't stick your head
out of the window, Akira.
All right.
Don't forget to bring your art homework.
Uh-huh.
You better hurry!
I bet Saki's waiting for you.
Gosh.
See you later!
He never changes, does he?
Saki will be angry at him for sure.
Dad
Mom
Akira
Idiot! Why did you tell him?
Isn't this the truth?
Why?
Why? I was the only one
No. It's not what you think.
I was instigated by him.
Are you mad? Shut up!
He said that we would get the insurance
money if we adopted you
Are you betraying me now? You bitch!
So what?
-Right from the beginning, I've been
-All
Shut up!
It was all for the money?
It hurts! Stop it!
Darn. How could they
You two are the ones who should have died.
Let go of me you scum.
That's right.
It should've been you two.
It should've been
Why you!
Auntie, why
It's because you wished death upon her.
The power of Red Arrow
I didn't know it was that
It's effective
only if they feel the need
to atone for their action with death.
It reflects how much they love you.
Isn't it great?
After all, she is an accomplice
in murdering your family.
Mirai!
Call the ambulance!
It's too late. She's dead.
Since I, an angel, said so,
it couldn't be wrong.
Look, an angel is here to pick her up.
She's dead?
Humans can die
s-so easily
Dad, mom, and Akira.
They are all dead.
She's dead. This is real.
It is neither a dream nor a deception.
Everything that is happening here is real.
I'm living in reality.
I am alive.
Mom, look.
Oh, you finished your drawing?
Let me have a look.
Everyone is smiling and looking happy.
Mirai,
we are all born to be happy.
We live on for a happier life.
This is my belief.
So I hope you will have a very happy life.
M-Mirai?
Live on
For happiness, I must live on.
If I die, I won't achieve happiness.
That's right. That's for sure.
How could I have thought of dying?
I should be living a happier life.
What was wrong with me?
I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, Akira.
I must lead a happy life
on everyone's behalf.
Anyone can lead a happy life
regardless of their past.
It's possible.
Because I came here
to bring you happiness.
I
want to be happy.
I am Nasse.
An angel that belongs to you alone.
GOD CANDIDATES ARE THOSE WHO HAVE
LOST THEIR WILL TO LIVE
LOST THEIR MEANING IN LIFE
Hey, Mirai.
It has been three days since.
After you shot the arrow
at the hotel staff,
you haven't used the wings
and the arrows again.
Your uncle made your aunt's cause of death
out to be suicide.
Don't fret over it.
This is all the money that I have now.
I'm able to stay here thanks to the power
of the arrow.
I can steal things with the wings.
I can manipulate
others' minds with the arrow.
Didn't you say so before?
Uh-huh.
But stealing and deceiving
will not make one happy.
If one feels happy,
then that person must be a bad egg.
I just want ordinary happiness.
Ordinary happiness?
Having somewhere to sleep.
Having something to eat.
Being able to attend school.
Having a job and being part of society.
Then, one day, I'll spend my time
with the person I love.
And create a happy family with them.
Just like before I lost my whole family.
As long as there is
such happiness, I will
Ordinary happiness?
I get it!
My wish is to make you happy.
Nasse.
Well, we have to raise some money first.
I can't keep staying here.
Money?
In that case,
just kill your uncle and his kids.
That way, their money will become yours
since you are their adopted son.
Kill them?
What are you talking about, Nasse?
You are just getting back all your money
from those who killed your family, right?
Kill your uncle with Red Arrow,
just like what you did to your aunt.
Let him be condemned by his conscience.
I didn't expect her to die because of it.
But the kids have done nothing
that requires them
to kill themselves out of guilt.
You won't be able to kill them
with the Red Arrow.
Wait a moment.
Don't talk about killing so simply.
Because it is indeed easy
as long as you have that angel bracelet
and use the White Arrow.
White Arrow?
If you shoot them
with that White Arrow, they'll die.
It will hit the target without a doubt.
An instant kill.
An arrow that kills?
Why would an angel have such a thing?
This is a euthanasia arrow
that puts a person
who will die soon
through a painless sleep.
Only the special-rank angel has this.
Of course, God has it too.
God?
I haven't explained it clearly to you!
Sorry!
It's because I have been focusing
on stopping you from committing suicide.
Let me tell you. There are now
13 god candidates on earth.
Each of them has a guardian angel.
And they have all been bestowed
with wings and arrows.
Only one of them
is eligible to be elected as the new god.
So I reckon you will meet
the other candidates soon.
Only now did I realize
that I have embarked
on the point of no return.
What are you doing, scum?!
W-White Arrow?
I decided to live on for happiness.
The 13 god candidates
Looks like you only have Red Arrow.
are in the run to be elected
as the new god.
