The Face of an Assassin

DETECTIVE AGENCY
This is
National treasure light blade.
-Masamune used it before.
-What on earth do you want to do?
But I am dumbfounded.
I initially wanted to shoot
Red Arrow at you to command you.
I didn't expect
that you'd been hit by one earlier.
Arrow?
It's funny, isn't it?
Who shot you?
I hope you'd tell me.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Besides, it's my duty of confidentiality.
I understand.
I'll tell you everything.
So spacious.
A good place indeed.
A few years ago, I heard it became widely
known as Little Church In The Sky.
It was put on sale because of the owner.
I can fly freely!
By the way,
Hanakago, try this on.
It's finally done?
Thank you!
What's the matter? Why are you in a daze?
Well,
this place looks similar to the park
my family and I used to go to often.
What are these?
Saki,
these are books from heaven.
It contains all the memories
of gods and angels
from the beginning of heaven until now.
One drop is equivalent
to more than 1,000 books in the world.
To read all of these
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Of course, I have to be hard on myself
so you can obtain the wings sooner.
Thank you.
Thank me only after you obtain the wings.
Sorry for disturbing you.
The leather suit is ready,
so I'm looking for the dressing room.
Leather suit?
It can be used right away.
How do I look in this?
It fits you well!
-Adorable!
-I agree.
Looks like ears.
There's even a tail.
Is this your thing?
No!
This is a headgear with an invisible mask.
Once activated, it'll turn into a portable
receiver mask that covers the face.
Just move the vision line to control it.
The leather suit is also woven
with fiber optic components.
It can expand and contract
through power-on vibration.
It will aid Hanakago,
who's physically weak.
To release the heat
generated by the leather suit,
the battery can be unplugged from the body
and used as a cooler.
This is the final product
that focuses on efficiency.
All the functions work well in theory.
There won't be any problem.
Thank you, Mr. Mukaido.
Are you okay with this, Saki?
Yes, it feels good.
Hey!
What is that?
That's a Red Arrow.
Saki.
It's okay.
This is the arrow I've used.
I can feel it.
The arrow has returned, which means
One of the 14 people you've shot is dead.
Mukaido can use the arrow then.
It's not how it works.
-Kakehashi, follow me.
-Okay!
Wait here, Hanakago!
Saki
Damn it. My wife won't pick up my calls.
If the detective whom I shot
has been killed
Metropoliman
Right.
My identity might have been exposed.
There!
Who is he?
I'll leave it to you.
Okay!
Aya! Nanaka!
Nanaka!
Damn it.
Where are you, Aya?
What is your business?
That's funny. It went well.
So, you're also
a god candidate.
Wings
He did it!
He shot a Red Arrow
without any hesitation.
Well done!
Is he also a god candidate?
SOUTH THEME PARK
I've planted a bait in there.
That god candidate will definitely
ANGEL WINGS FLY AT A SPEED
THAT IS INVISIBLE TO THE EYES
Hajime Sokotani
was born poor and ugly.
His poverty and ugliness
magnified as he grew up.
What's wrong with that kid's face?
He looks so ugly. What an eyesore.
-You shouldn't have been born!
-I heard he can't pay for his lunch.
What a pity that he can't
even buy a notebook.
His mom is an ugly woman, but she works
in the adult entertainment industry.
It reached a boiling point
in his adolescence.
Good morning!
Good morning. It rains so often lately.
It does.
My mom kept bugging me
to take an extra pair of socks.
No!
I've had enough!
I want to die!
I am Balta, a first-rank angel.
Appearance and wealth
can greatly influence one's life.
Don't you want to change this world?
If you become God
No. If you become
a god candidate, it'll be fun.
My intuition tells me so.
I wanted to talk
to girls at least once.
Okay.
You only need this.
SCIENCE ROOM
Well
I've had my eyes on you
May I touch your hands?
Well I
I want to kiss you.
Okay.
I saw the reflection of me kissing a girl
on the classroom's mirror.
It was so disgusting.
The real me will never gain popularity.
You feel empty, right?
Your intuition is very accurate.
It's not based on intuition.
I can tell it with just a glance.
Metropon!
Okay! Let's rescue the hostages!
A god candidate has become a hero.
So handsome.
I want to be like him.
Everyone on earth, I am Metropoliman
Of course, I'm here
to protect the peace of this planet,
-but I'm also a messenger
-He's different from me.
-who has come to defeat 12 enemies.
-He's full of confidence.
You're very interesting indeed.
You yearn to be him.
The two of you are different.
The person in the costume is probably
wealthy with many friends.
He is a handsome heartthrob
who has led a comfortable life.
A handsome heartthrob
This is just my intuition.
But my intuition has always been accurate.
One of them has already been defeated.
I want to be handsome!
I'll shoot an arrow
at a highly-skilled plastic surgeon.
Then, I'll steal some money
and become a rich, handsome man.
After all,
they are the most popular of them all.
The 11 enemies No.
I realized that in a way,
we are comrades and partners.
Humans have impressive technology.
Are you almost done?
No. Not yet.
I want to become popular
without using the Red Arrows.
3 p.m. on Sunday, the day after tomorrow.
I hope to see you there.
I really want to meet him.
But if my identity is exposed, I'm dead.
You do know it well.
HORIGUCHI COSMETIC PLASTIC SURGERY
I'm going to remove the bandage.
Please come again.
This is me.
That girl is my type
She's absolutely my type.
She's leaving!
Can I help you?
I've never hit on a girl before
Well
Well?
No, wait! Let's just c-cha
Chest?
I'm leaving.
I see. It's poor communication skills.
I've finally become a handsome man,
but I still can't talk to girls.
My mouth still looks odd.
I have to get my eyebrows
threaded a little.
METROPOLIMAN APPEARS
AT THE SKY TOWER
What is this? Awesome.
I can watch
the senior god candidate kill again.
He's really admirable.
EXPLOSION AT SKY TOWER
OVER 30 CASUALTIES
What's wrong with him?
How could he attack?
Get him! Metropoliman!
He was shot.
He escaped. He should be fine.
How dare those two resist Metropoliman.
I must protect Metropoliman.
I want to be Metropoliman's servant
and aid him.
Is that so?
But my intuition tells me
that if he becomes God,
humans may perish very soon.
It doesn't matter.
I don't care what this world will become.
The more chaotic, the better.
I've been thinking so.
I really want to see
the world Metropoliman creates.
It's too dangerous to get close to someone
who wants to kill all the god candidates.
I know. But
HARADA COSMETIC PLASTIC SURGERY
You're so perfect that
there isn't any part left to be fixed.
I'm now at an age
where I care about my appearance a lot.
Many parents are willing
to spend on their children.
As I recall,
a wealthy son of an upper-level industry
was here two years ago.
I accepted hush money
and he said he'd kill me if I disclose it.
But I just want
to share this secret with you.
He is an impeccable beautiful man.
He himself thought so too.
Then, what was he here for?
He asked
"Please teach me
how to preserve my sister's body
as beautiful as she was alive."
That's what he said.
Don't you think it's a little scary?
This is really interesting.
My intuition tells me
that we should investigate
the DNA of that high school student.
According to the police officer you shot,
DNA had been found in the broken mask.
If the DNA matches,
then he's Metropoliman.
Kanade.
What's the matter, Noguchi?
I was shot with Red Arrow
by a god candidate who admires you.
To investigate your DNA a few days ago,
he took a strand of your hair.
He wants to help you as a servant.
Please come to the dance room
alone after school.
Goodbye.
Really? In that case
Noguchi, are you all right?
Bring her to the clinic!
She's dead!
Somebody call the teacher!
Kanade Uryu.
You're not him, right?
That's right.
How could he show his face?
We're communicating
via a headset
and I've asked him to repeat what I say.
I'm monitoring the situation
via the camera that has been installed
here in the dance room
Did you find out what I look like?
No
I heard that Kanade
is a perfect, beautiful man.
Well, you're probably
not behind the mirror, are you?
Impressive.
It's easy, with just a little thinking.
If you wanted to shoot the arrow,
you'd just install a sturdy magic mirror
in front of the original mirror.
And you can aim perfectly from one side.
A person with wings wouldn't be able
to fly continuously in an enclosed space.
He must have considered
such a risk though.
You mentioned that you want
to become a servant.
What do you mean?
It's exactly what I said.
I want to become a servant.
That's all I want.
To kill a person with wings,
you must first lock the person up.
It's best to use
the magic mirror box to do this.
Everyone is eager to have one.
It's a little weak to use this
as a self-recommendation.
But you found me after all.
I guess you're not a fool.
No I was just lucky
Well actually,
my angel's intuition is very accurate.
Angel of Intuition, Balta.
I think he has a first-rank angel.
Hajime,
you want to work for me
even though we haven't met.
Is this what you mean?
Yes.
This is beneficial to me.
That's exactly why
I want to become your servant.
I will prepare the box.
The question is which god candidate
you're going to lock in the box.
If you can get this done,
I'll accept you as my servant.
Okay! I'll give my best!
I want to be your servant!
Metropoliman,
I've successfully planted
the baits in the box.
You're very efficient.
I've also gotten a hold
of Mukaido's phone number.
You really have a flair for this.
May I ask you a question?
I've used 13 arrows. I only have one left.
Should I shoot it at the mother I caught?
You've used 13 arrows? Are you a fool?
You should shoot at the god candidates.
Yes, of course.
Now then. Is he really useful?
How much can I trust him?
Mr. Mukaido, please calm down.
I'm doing this to keep myself calm.
Why are you blaming yourself?
I'm the one you should blame and resent.
This would have never happened
if I didn't make you a god candidate.
I'm the one who agreed to this.
And I thought I was doing it
for my wife and children.
I didn't expect it to turn out this way.
How can I call myself
a god candidate? Ridiculous.
I
METROPOLIMAN CALLING
Where are they?!
You're speaking too loudly, old man.
At the ruins of South Theme Park.
Hurry up and save them.
That is if you are able to do so.
Mr. Mukaido!
-I'll go with you!
-Me too!
Don't follow me!
You'll only get in the way!
But
You can't fight without wings!
I can't focus.
I have to remember
such a large amount of information.
I can't do it.
Endless reincarnation.
This is how heaven is.
Revel!
I'll leave Saki to you.
Leaving you alone again?
They might not come back.
This is different
from how things were at the sky tower.
Mr. Mukaido's family has been kidnapped.
It's the same when Kakehashi
has been alone and helpless
I've always been unable to help.
Saki,
you've finally gotten your spirit up.
But now, you've become
the person you once were.
I can help them as long as I have wings.
I want to work together
to achieve our goal.
I want to be happy together!
I won't give up! I want to support Saki.
I must do this!
Wait for me, Saki!
Aya! Nanaka!
