Platinum End (2021) s01e02 Episode Script

1
To make the human
world a better place,
I have been working hard all along.
But the time has come
to pass the seat of God to the next human.
To entrust it to the young energy.
13 honorary angels
chosen amongst all the angels,
based on the custom, I will choose
the next God from the 13 humans
you have chosen.
From the moment the chosen human
becomes God,
your duty as an angel will come to an end.
You may stay by the new God's side
and live a peaceful life.
The human who becomes God
can obtain anything he wants.
As a second-rank angel who has been
bestowed with only Red Arrow,
this is a big challenge.
I must ensure
that my chosen human becomes God.
So I can stay by his side.
That's great.
This way, it can allow that kid
Allow Mirai to achieve happiness.
The deadline is 999 days later.
You must go now.
The 13 god candidates
are in the run to be elected
as the new God.
I'm not lying, Mirai.
I know.
After all, you, an angel,
have appeared before my eyes.
It's not surprising if God does exist.
This is an ambitious goal.
I can't even take care of my own affairs.
How could I become God then?
I don't want to become God,
nor can I be one
But if someone becomes God instead,
your wings and arrows
will be taken away from you.
Only God can use them freely.
This is for your happiness, okay?
Happiness?
ADMISSION APPLICATION
My mom always said
that we are all born to be happy.
And we live on for a happier life.
Okay. Let's go.
Watch me.
Then, if you are not happy,
you won't feel the happiness
other people are experiencing.
Also, Mirai, there is more to it.
If everyone is not happy,
you won't feel true happiness
even if you live a happy life.
This is my belief.
Everyone has to live happily, eh?
Your mom is a very kind person.
Some folks weigh the misfortunes of others
on a scale and feel happy about it.
I don't need White Arrow
that kills people.
The same goes for Red Arrow.
I will only use it to get my uncle
to turn himself in.
I just want ordinary happiness.
I don't wish to become a god.
If that's what you want, then it's fine.
Then, let's get your uncle
to turn himself in now.
This way, you don't have to worry
about money anymore.
Wait. It's late at night now.
Tomorrow is the last day
for high school's second enrollment.
Just wait until it's over.
Are you sure?
The comedian Mr. Tonma Rodriguez
has found himself a new love again.
Following the three women reported
the day before yesterday,
he is now in a relationship with another
two women, totaling five women now.
In the press conference after the event,
Mr. Rodriguez speaks out
Nasse.
-Heard that you are dating five women now.
-This
Well, I have learned the tricks
that could win women's hearts.
The angel
He can't be seen, right?
Yeah
There's obviously an angel
above this comedian.
Is this guy named Tonma Rodriguez
one of the 13 god candidates too?
Yes.
He said he loves me the most.
This is the power of Red Arrow indeed.
Yes.
Red Arrows can be used on
14 people at the same time.
He said he is in five relationships now.
If this is true, he can shoot the arrows
at another nine people.
I will make all the women
in the world mine.
I feel like a god.
Come on. This is the punch line.
How could this kind of man
keep attracting beautiful women?
There isn't any way to help those women?
Even if we can use the arrow as we wish,
there are things that
can be and can't be done.
I feel sorry for those women
who have been shot by the arrow.
Mirai, you are so kind.
Is it impossible to defend oneself
when one is being targeted by the arrow?
There is a way.
When I asked you to choose between
the wings and the arrows,
didn't I mention it?
No.
Shoot! I'm sorry!
Although the arrow will hit the target,
there is one exception
which is that the wings move faster
than the arrow.
The arrow won't stand a chance
if you use the wings.
But ordinary people can't dodge it at all.
Anyway, you don't have to be worried
because the effect of Red Arrow
will naturally disappear after 33 days.
But if a person is shot several times,
the person will be
A person can only be shot once.
Otherwise, the time limit
will become meaningless.
I see.
Mr. Tonma Rodriguez only intends
to use the power of the arrow
to gain love from the women for 33 days.
This is also one of its usages.
Those who use such a method
shouldn't be elected as God.
I can't stop myself.
As a Z-list celebrity,
I never imagined
I could get with these top idols.
Please. Date me openly.
-I want that too.
-I want that too.
The Angel Arrows are awesome!
-Mr. Rodriguez!
-With this, I can manipulate every woman.
The hope in living on indeed!
Who the hell?
Are you dressing up for a shoot?
You got the wrong car.
What are you doing, scum?!
W-White Arrow?
Looks like you only have Red Arrow.
Why are we in this state?
Wait a second.
What's going on?
Why would we be with that guy?
I can't be an idol anymore!
Geez How embarrassing.
What an amateur virgin.
Even if you are not popular,
you should clearly distinguish
what can be and can't be done.
ADMISSION OFFICE
I've submitted the admission application.
I must study hard before the exam.
You don't have to.
Why not just shoot Red Arrow
at the school's upper management?
I want to be admitted
based on my capabilities.
Mirai, you are very honest.
Even if you're both god candidates,
you are different from that comedian.
What's wrong?
THE COMEDIAN MR. TONMA RODRIGUEZ
FOUND DEAD
The cause of death is still unknown.
Could it be
Luta, you were chosen
as one of the 13 angels.
Have you been eliminated?
It happened as I'd wished.
The sooner it ended,
the sooner I could free myself.
But the human who killed him
is rather interesting.
ABILITIES GIVEN TO HUMANS
ARE DETERMINED BY THE ANGEL'S RANK
SPECIAL-RANK:
WINGS, RED ARROW, WHITE ARROW
FIRST-RANK: WINGS, RED ARROW
SECOND-RANK: WINGS OR RED ARROW
In the end
it's still unknown how Rodriguez died.
Well, it's great that you have been
admitted to high school.
You are smart.
I'm not smart at all.
That's not true.
Using Red Arrow to get your uncle
to turn himself in
is something beyond my imagination.
You not only got your money back
but also bought an apartment.
It's a day to shop for your new life.
So fun!
Yeah!
Y-You said it before.
A life where you have a place to sleep
and something to eat
and can attend school.
These have all come true now.
You're getting closer
to your ideal ordinary happiness.
It's been all so smooth sailing!
That's so great, am I right?
Uh-huh.
Yes.
I might have thought so
if Mr. Tonma Rodriguez
hadn't turned up dead.
Indeed.
It's indeed because of this reason.
I'm really grateful to you
for saving my life
and it looks like
I can attend high school.
I can live like this
thanks to the power of the angel.
But this power is too powerful
for ordinary humans.
Can I really possess it?
Reporting live from the scene.
Yotsuba Tokyo Orion Bank
Hitotsubashi Branch
has been seized by armed robbers
for more than an hour.
Unless they are provided with cash
and an escape helicopter,
they will kill one person
every five minutes.
As they have stated,
the robbers have chosen the person to kill
amongst the staff
and the civilians locked inside
It's a gunshot. I just heard a gunshot.
Bank robbery?
Victims?
Does that mean
two people have been killed?
Considering the safety of the hostages,
the police are unable
to take any decisive action now.
What was that
Who?
-Where did you appear from?
-Don't shoot!
I am not an enemy!
I am here to uphold justice!
Out of nowhere,
a man in battle armor has just appeared.
Who is he?
Isn't he Metropoliman from the series
aired in the previous season?
Are those
Wings?
-Nasse!
-Yep!
He is a god candidate.
Is he reasoning with the police?
He seems to be saying something
to the police.
He's flying?!
Is this some kind of filming technique?
What on earth is going on?
Please trust me.
I, Metropoliman, will defeat the evil!
He shot Red Arrows.
Now they will listen to him.
Although he looks a bit silly,
he's using the wings
and the arrows for justice.
You are willing to leave it to me.
Thank you, police officers!
I'll set off now.
Hey, how much longer do we have to wait?
You scoundrels!
I am your opponent from now on!
What? Are you a fool?
I'll shoot if you take one step closer.
Hey! Did you hear me? Stop!
You scum!
Die!
It's useless.
I can move faster than a bullet!
He did it!
So, now you understand.
You can never defeat me.
You are
Metropoliman.
Give up and surrender now.
Yes.
Where Where did he go?
You
Is he going to continue?
Didn't that guy just fire a shot?
Hurry up and use Red Arrow.
My anger has reached its peak!
Get out!
Killer
Metro
pon!
Okay! Let's rescue the hostages!
-They have been knocked down?
-Why so?
-Metropon?
-Was this staged by the TV station?
White Arrows Not just Red Arrows.
Look, everybody!
All the hostages are being rescued!
May I know who you are
Metropoliman.
That was the Killer Metropon.
Even so, I was risking my life too.
I failed to control my strength then
What strength?
That's the killer White Arrow.
He planned to kill
right from the beginning.
As long as the person is within sight,
the arrow will hit them.
White Arrow
This god candidate
has a special-rank angel on his tail.
He took advantage of the arrows' functions
to perform such an exaggerated act.
This way, he will have won
the public's hearts.
Touché.
Everyone on earth, I am Metropoliman
Of course, I'm here
to protect the peace of this planet,
but I am also a messenger from heaven
who has come to defeat 12 enemies.
What do you mean?
One of them has already been defeated.
I will neither run nor hide.
To the remaining 11
bring it on anytime.
What is he talking about?
He's not right in the head.
One of them has already been defeated.
Could it be Mr. Rodriguez?
Nasse, get away from me.
Hurry up!
Okay.
Being with an angel is akin to telling him
that I am a god candidate.
I don't even know
where the other god candidates are.
For my happiness, I must not die.
12 enemies
He is referring
to the god candidates, right?
Y-Yeah
Nasse,
please remove me
from the god candidate list.
What?!
You have saved my life.
I don't want to die.
To become happy
I'm sorry.
If I were to remove you from the list,
you must return the wings and the arrows.
I don't need them.
I'll return them to you.
It doesn't work like this.
If you return the wings and the arrows,
you will die.
Because the wings and the arrows
are given to you as the hope in living,
to abandon them is to give up on living.
Conversely, you're alive
because you have accepted the wings
and the arrows as a god candidate.
I see.
God once said that the god candidates
are those who have lost hope in living.
In other words,
they feel that way due to their
discontent with the world
and their desire to make a change.
I don't care about
such sophisticated matters.
I just wanted to know if it was possible
to remove myself from the candidate list.
I'm sorry.
No. I should be the one apologizing.
Let me think.
The special-rank angel possesses
the wings, Red Arrow, and White Arrow.
The first-rank angel has Red Arrow only.
Nope!
You got it right for the special-rank.
But the first-rank
has the wings and Red Arrow.
The second-rank has either
the wings or Red Arrow.
Right
How many amongst the 13 angels
belong to the special-rank?
I guess there are three angels.
But those who are in the first-rank
can be upgraded to the special-rank.
The special-rank can be demoted
to the first-rank,
and the first-rank can be demoted
to the second-rank too.
Anyway, an eye sore for Metropoliman
is the god candidates
with special-rank angels.
What should I do?
That guy wants to become God.
He'll kill those who get in his way.
In fact, Rodriguez has already
Mirai,
it's better if you don't
step out of the house.
It's a shame
you only just got into high school.
Tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, right?
It should be today.
We live on for a happier life.
That means no matter what,
I should choose the direction
that is beneficial to me.
Mirai.
A beneficial choice
Should I keep locking myself at home
just because I am afraid of that guy?
Then, why was I saved by Nasse
and got to live till now?
I want to attend high school.
Even if I lock myself at home,
I won't be happy.
But
Don't worry.
As long as I'm not with you, my status
as a god candidate will not be discovered.
I don't want Metropoliman
to take my right to be happy.
It's the entrance ceremony tomorrow.
It's cool that I'm usually just
an ordinary high school student.
As long as I kill the other 11 candidates
I will automatically become God.
Mirai, the uniform suits you.
Really?
Yep!
After seeing you dressed up like this,
I think you should attend high school too.
Nasse.
Call me at once if something happens.
No matter how soft your voice is,
I will fly over to you.
All right.
Also, when you reach the school,
remember to shoot Red Arrow at Saki.
Your childhood friend, Saki Hanakago.
You chose this high school
for this reason, right?
Wait, you
The effect of Red Arrow
lasts only for 33 days.
A person can only be shot once.
But if you want her
to love you for a lifetime,
just make her fall in love with you
within those 33 days.
That's the Cupid arrow
that assists in making
both of you fall in love with each other.
I'm not going to use the arrow
for such a thing.
An ordinary high school student.
A new beginning.
The three-year journey is about to begin.
Angel?
Could he be guarding Metropoliman?
Calm down. I'm not with Nasse now.
My status as a god candidate
will not be discovered.
Just walk by him naturally.
