Platinum End (2021) s01e19 Episode Script

1
Prime Minister Suzuki,
please stop obstructing
the god candidates' actions.
I decided to seize them
in order to protect the people.
Those helicopters are out to guarantee
their capture, not to attack them.
I never thought you would believe
in god election.
They are convening
the god election, Prime Minister.
And they didn't hide
their faces this time.
It's because they do not wish
to cause harm to anyone.
Getting me to believe it
with this reason alone is
I will prove to you within 24 hours
that you shouldn't attack them.
You should protect them instead.
So close! I can't believe
that the helicopters are so close to me.
Let's shoot Red Arrows at the pilots.
Hold on, Susumu.
We can just move to another place.
You're right.
Follow the plan.
Everyone,
disperse from Point B to Point F.
Okay.
All right.
The targets have disappeared.
ROPPONGI, MINATO
SHIODOME, MINATO
ODAIBA, MINATO
JINNAN, SHIBUYA
A god candidate has appeared
above the TV station in Roppongi.
They have also appeared
in Shiodome, Odaiba, and Shibuya.
They have appeared here too!
Go for a live broadcast!
Send out the drones!
AKASAKA, MINATO
They've turned around.
Ms. Yumiki?
Prime Minister Suzuki has ordered
the Self-Defense Force to retreat.
The hunt for the god candidates
has seemed to have been suspended.
Why did they suddenly
Everyone, please listen to me.
Starting from now,
the five god candidates will explain
what they'd do if they were God.
Because the last god candidate said
that they would not appear
if we didn't do so.
Let's get started then.
Hey, isn't he Kakehashi?
And also Hanakago?
It can't be.
Are they god candidates?
Can't believe that there are
two of them in our class.
Maiko, did you know about this?
How would I know?
The five god candidates
who have disappeared from Yurakucho
have now appeared
at five different TV stations respectively
and will be giving a speech on
what they'd do if they become God.
This matter has attracted
the attention of the entire Japan
No. The whole world.
May I speak now?
Well
After I become God,
I want to create a world where death
will be bestowed as one wishes.
A world where it will be recognized.
Suicide?
What?
I support.
If I can die easily,
then I want to die now.
It's better than causing trouble
to others.
Well said, kid.
My idea is to create a wonderful world
where humans do not have to work.
A world where we can live happily
and at ease.
Just let the AI or the robots do the work.
It's nice not to have to work.
But the question is,
where do we get our money from?
How to become wealthy?
I have no idea.
Hence, let the person
who can realize these become God.
She doesn't want to become God at all.
Is this the state of mind
of the god candidates?
None of you has
given it a serious thought?
I reckon
that a world where we can have fun
with friends is the best world to be in.
It's better if cram schools
and phones do not exist.
I agree.
In social apps, we come under fire
for the slightest mistake.
But it depends on how you use it.
Humans can't live without it.
We'd be in trouble
if something so convenient were gone.
These are all relevant to us
living in the present age.
It's all so shallow.
The question should be, in which direction
should mankind move in the future?
But now, I don't care anymore.
Being a god candidate is exhilarating.
I feel alive every day.
If people could experience this feeling,
I think the world will
definitely be more fun.
So
I want to create a world
where everyone has White Arrows.
-What?
-White Arrows?
The tool to kill?
What a shocking speech.
What is this kid talking about?
It happened so suddenly.
I kept thinking
about what I would do if I become God.
But I couldn't find any answer.
But I hope
for a world where everyone is kind-hearted
and laughs together.
Red is up next
If I remember correctly,
his angel must be special-rank.
If I were to become God,
I
Would do nothing.
Everyone, return to Point A.
The god candidates have returned
to Yurakucho.
All right. We have spoken our minds.
I hope you will show up
and have a talk with us.
I see. What a scary sincerity of youth.
I can't betray that.
The question is, can I convince them?
Let's go and meet them, Muni.
Professor Yoneda, where are you going?
I'm going to Yurakucho.
What?
He's the last god candidate.
Professor Yoneda?
Is this for real?
It's indeed him.
Who is he?
I have read all your books.
One second.
Light travels 7,5 times
around the earth in one second.
Have you all tried flying around it?
I tried to see how many times I could fly
around the earth in a second.
How many times
do you think I managed to fly around?
Give it a try. This way, you'll realize
that one second is infinite.
Isn't he Professor Yoneda?
What? It's indeed him.
Is he a god candidate?
Hey, Professor Yoneda?
He's indeed Professor Yoneda.
The winner of the Nobel Prize
and the National Honor Award.
He's said to have
the smartest brain in the world.
Professor Gaku Yoneda has appeared
as a god candidate.
Indeed, I'm Gaku Yoneda.
I'm also a god candidate.
I declare that this god election
is absolutely real and valid.
The professor is a god candidate himself?
That's what he meant
when he said he'll prove to me
Yoneda.
Wow! Professor Yoneda is a god candidate!
Just let the professor become God!
It's settled then!
Aren't you all going
to surround me like these drones?
We want to elect God
through discussion.
Discussion? This is the best way.
After all, it's something humans can do.
Well, let's head to a place
where we can talk at ease.
There's no need for that.
I want the world to know
what's going on right now.
What I'm going to say
is just my hypothesis.
I want you all to think about its validity
and whether you agree to it
with your own mind.
Firstly, you all have not grasped
the most important part.
It could also be said
that you've all been deceived.
Metropoliman understood this, at least.
Deceived?
What do you mean?
Metropoliman did not believe
in God's existence.
Can you believe in an unrealistic thing
like God in the first place?
Do you mean that God does not exist?
God does exist,
but He's not the kind you imagined.
He's a pseudo-god.
HUMANS WHO HAVE BEEN SHO
BY WHITE ARROW WILL DIE.
Red, you said you would do nothing
after becoming God.
Why so?
Humans should rely
on their own strengths to survive.
If one of us becomes God
and controls humans' life
and death from heaven,
it will become an invisible dictatorship.
You're right.
We don't need that kind of God.
Please make it simpler and clearer.
Simpler and clearer?
Well, let me ask the five of you.
No, to all humankind.
Who came first? Humans or God?
I guess it's humans.
It's humans who created God.
No.
Wasn't it God? Because there's a legend
about God, Adam, and Eve.
That's a myth created by humans.
It was 13,8 billion years ago
that the universe was born.
And 4,6 billion years ago,
the earth was born.
Water appeared on Earth.
Microbes were born.
They evolved into fishes,
amphibians, and reptiles.
And finally, humans were born.
Humans hunted and grew grains.
To obtain more food, they prayed to heaven
and created an object of worship.
That's God, a human creation.
This is not my hypothesis,
but a historical
knowledge everyone knows about.
Do you understand?
Understood.
I roughly understood it.
Didn't you say we have been deceived?
Tell us the reason.
Humans are now performing surgeries
and controlling genetics
which were considered blasphemous.
We have even set foot in space.
It's impossible for us to believe
that there's God in heaven.
But we can tell the world
that God doesn't exist in this world.
Because it's an indisputable fact
that humans progressed
by acquiring knowledge
through religions and mythologies.
For those who believe in it,
nothing is more infuriating than this.
In my papers, I have negated the existence
of ghosts and souls,
which cannot be proven by science.
But after being chosen as a god candidate,
I found that God did exist.
And I also
came into contact with an angel.
Honestly, I doubted my eyes at first.
But it was a reality.
Since it was a reality,
I couldn't do anything about it.
The angel was right before me.
I had to accept God's existence.
In that's the case,
the angels must be created
by the energy from humans' imagination.
The energy is born
from people praying for its existence.
The power that will be uncovered
by science, one day will be called God.
It's a creature that people have created
to worship and praise.
Creature? Like a monster?
It's a human creation.
It's a pseudo-god that relies
on humans' belief
in God's existence as its source of power.
If those who believe in God perish,
then the energy will perish along.
Now, it's reaching the point
of fading away.
Hence, He tricked the angels
to start a god election.
So that He would not fade away.
That's right.
It went as smoothly as he expected.
Now, the god election has been proclaimed
to the whole world.
And when a god candidate becomes God,
more people will believe in its existence.
What I wanted to say is,
the era of praying to God is now over.
Don't cry out to God for help.
Instead, ask people for help.
You can't rely on prayers
when you're facing problems.
Rather, come up with a solution
as soon as possible.
Instead of repenting and asking
for God's forgiveness,
it's better to turn yourself in
and pay for your sins.
Humans' intelligence, science,
and medicine
can overcome natural disasters.
In the near future,
it may be possible for us
to achieve immortality.
What matters to mankind is the future.
We must keep thinking about
what we should do now.
That's why we must declare
that God does not exist.
God no longer needs to exist.
That's how this god election came about
and why we were chosen
as god candidates.
That's right.
The world no longer needs God.
God doesn't exist?
Target confirmed.
The targets show no signs of moving.
We'll definitely hit the bull's eye.
Hold on.
Our order is to shoot at all six.
We haven't fully grasped
the capabilities of the targets.
Don't let them out of your sight
for even one moment.
Understood.
Understood.
Understood.
Understood.
As for God who was born
out of humans' prayers
and the angels who have been used
and weakened by God,
Muni planned to destroy the pseudo-heaven,
where nothing good comes out.
Destroy heaven?
Humans' prayers? Angels used by God?
What an interesting statement.
What's the matter, Revel?
It was mentioned
at the beginning of heaven
that God is supported
through human prayers.
You should know about this
since you're a special-rank angel.
Nasse became a special-rank angel
due to her innocent actions
and not being bound by trivialities.
But she's poor in bargaining.
So, she's not suitable for this game.
It sounds like you're calling me a fool.
Muni, I understand your purpose.
Amongst the 12 angels,
there may be an angel
that will get in your way.
What is the special power of the angel?
Muni answered that she didn't know.
The special-rank angel
who seems to know nothing.
Or the angel who knows
the ins and outs of heaven?
Either way
You're right.
It's odd to choose a God
amongst the humans.
But I think what you said about
"God not existing" is too reckless.
Yes.
If God exists due to human prayers,
that's real as it gets!
And there are various gods in the world.
I think it's necessary to have a God.
Really?
Although it's necessary,
I think He no longer exists.
What? What do you mean?
How shall I put it?
For me, He's like Santa Claus.
Although I believed it as a child,
I gradually realized that it was
an illusion created by humans.
But it feels better
because believing it begets hope.
The same goes for God.
Regardless of what God is like,
it's not a bad thing to pray.
But it doesn't work.
Because God that could realize
our wishes don't exist.
Its existence does not matter at all.
I think God only needs to exist
in everyone's heart.
Hence, if none of us
has to become God,
I think it's fine too.
Saki.
I never believed in God's existence.
After listening
to Professor Yoneda's hypothesis,
I think most people in the world
will have the same thought too.
Hence, I agree with Professor Yoneda.
You just don't want to become God.
It's not that.
It's you who doesn't want to be one.
You just want others to be one
and hold on to your Red Arrows, right?
Didn't Ogaro mention
that one of us has to become God?
Or do you have a way
to keep us out of this, Professor?
Of course. I've figured it out.
Are you serious?
I
really need Red Arrows.
I can't live without them.
Please! Someone must become God! Please!
Professor Yoneda.
Believing in God's existence
and praying to Him
Some people survive by treating Him
as the only hope and redemption, right?
Of course.
Only about 0,1% of the population.
That's equivalent to seven million people
in the world.
What would become of them
if God no longer existed?
They won't be able to blame God
for their misfortunes.
They wouldn't receive forgiveness
for their repentance.
Even prayers wouldn't change anything.
Because there would be nothing to pray to.
They would also have no strength
to break out of their troubles.
They would feel hopeless about life
and commit suicide, wouldn't they?
I think it's unavoidable
for those who can't keep up with time.
Committing suicide
Unavoidable?
Unavoidable.
In that case,
I'll stop this from happening
even if I have to become God.
He's now motivated.
Mirai, are you okay with that?
Didn't you hope to grasp
your own happiness?
Red wants to be God?
It's too late. No one will agree.
I guess Ms. Temari would vote for him.
Didn't you say that you'll
take up the role if no one wants it?
I still think about committing suicide,
and I can die whenever.
But if I were to become God,
it would cause trouble to the majority
who support Professor Yoneda,
wouldn't it?
I had expected this.
It's fine. Let me become God.
Susumu?
They have rifles!
Look! They have rifles!
They've been targeting us!
-Darn!
-Impressive!
-Wait! Don't shoot!
-It's just like a movie!
But the targets may use the arrows!
Hey, may I use a Red Arrow?
No! Susumu, stay away now!
Aim at your respective target as ordered!
Continue to monitor Red.
Red?
Fire!
