Platinum End (2021) s01e22 Episode Script
Wings of Determination
1
The last two must shoot White Arrows
at each other within 0,15 seconds.
As long as this condition is met,
the creature will not be born.
I don't get it.
Okay, let's say the God selected in this
god election does become the creature,
what's wrong with that?
The answer is that humans
ought to determine their own ending.
Humans determine their own ending?
I don't understand at all.
Ogaro said
God has the power to end humanity.
But Red, you said you wouldn't
do anything if you became God.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Firstly, we don't know what happens to
one's mind after they become the creature.
Plus, the creature can't
communicate anything to humans.
It hasn't actually
communicated a single thing to us.
All we know about the creature,
is that if nobody becomes it,
the current false god
will die in 790 days.
However, humans would even be clueless
about the death of that false god.
The time limit
for this god election was 999 days.
I never knew
this was linked to God's lifespan.
Though it is true that God cannot directly
communicate their will with humans.
Muni might be feeding him lies.
What?
First let's talk about
the end of humanity.
The end?
You don't need to wait
for the sun to burn out,
natural disasters or climate change.
Humans will die out
in the not-too-distant future.
What?
Before you said humans would soon
become immortal. What happened to that?
That will happen within 300 years.
Apart from the mind, we can switch
anything with machinery or a younger body.
Isn't that something from science fiction?
Well, it might be fiction now,
but I read that it could become fact
in the near future.
So once humans become immortal,
what will they want next?
Can you guess?
Time.
They will attempt to control time,
transcending the very concept.
They will know and observe the future.
In other words,
the ultimate method of prediction.
This will definitely be realized.
But
when all the humans know everything
there is to know of the future,
they will fall into despair.
You understand, right?
Knowing all your pre-determined actions
and where they take you,
will make everything meaningless.
You can only surrender
to the torrent of time.
Even if you attempt to change the future,
that attempt and its results
have all been decided.
You will lose the strength
to live on and end your own life.
In the end,
all humans will give up on living.
Excessive scientific development
has a great responsibility to bear.
But we can't stop
the human spirit for discovery.
In the near future,
humans will fall into despair,
and this will lead to their extinction.
Red, you want to become the creature.
Am I right?
That's right.
Which means either Red becomes
the creature or I stop him.
Red can I talk to you privately?
Okay.
Well if Red's okay with it
Yumiki, take the other three and stand by.
-Where will you be?
-How about the guesthouse we were at?
Okay.
What about you?
I will stay here.
I won't interrupt.
I want to observe your discussion.
The god candidates
have just split into two groups.
Professor Yoneda and Mirai Kakehashi
are now talking privately.
Let me ask you again.
Am I correct in thinking
that you plan on becoming the false God?
Yes.
Even though it'll be a false one?
Even if it is false like you say,
once I become God,
nobody will wish for death.
But if none of the god candidates
becomes God,
there will be people who despair
and can't live on.
I want as many people as possible
to live on,
and find happiness.
For as many people as possible
to live on in happiness.
This is Mirai's wish.
Happiness?
Is that what would
make you happy as a human?
So long as our brains are different,
happiness cannot be measured
with dopamine and adrenaline values.
One's inclination towards being either
grateful or resentful changes everything.
Resentful
What we must not do most
is hate or resent others.
Nothing good grows from that.
Not just your own heart,
but that of others too.
In the end, happiness is only
a comparison to other things.
It's established on the misery of others.
I know.
But finding happiness through
making others happy is not a bad thing.
And it's not like
I'll die after becoming God.
As long as I'm alive,
I won't give up on
finding happiness as a human.
We can't trust someone
who comes up with lines like that.
How smug can you get?
I don't mind hypocrisy
so long as there's peace.
I can't imagine a kid like that
becoming God and looking down on me.
You don't mind whether Kakehashi
becomes God or not, right?
I'm kind of hoping he does now.
That thing he said about
not giving up on happiness as a human,
I found it quite moving.
Here again?
You said you wanted
as many humans as possible to live,
but at least one person has to die
for you to become the creature.
Do you understand that?
I understand.
Indeed.
You must kill me, since I don't agree
with you becoming the creature.
But I don't think
you're prepared to do so.
I am.
FINAL GOD CANDIDATE STANDOFF
Hey, Red!
You've taken out your White Arrow!
This is bad. Let's get back there.
What's going on?
Do what I say,
and I won't kill you.
You tricked us?
Just until they finish their discussion.
This is to prevent
the birth of the creature.
Yumiki
It won't pierce him!
If you're going to resist,
then I have no choice.
Run, Yumiki!
Please stop resisting.
I guess we have no choice
but to leave this to Red.
Can you really shoot it?
It's just a difference of number.
The death of one person
is better than the death of many.
Mirai, you can do it.
It's not 100% guaranteed that
I'll use my wings to dodge the arrow.
I knew he would.
What a surprise.
I can't believe you shot
a White Arrow at me without hesitation.
It might be due to what you said.
Then it was worth saying, I suppose.
Please answer one question.
You said that for humans,
the future is important.
But humanity will go extinct,
and excessive scientific development
is the reason why.
Then,
why don't you try to steer the
direction of science away from extinction?
Because humanity's extinction
has already been decided.
Listen up.
We can't change the past. That's a fact.
Do you understand this point?
Of course I do.
It has nothing to do
with whether I understand it or not.
This moment will become the past
once it passes.
Do you understand this point?
Of course I do.
The Earth
No. The universe,
from its dawn until its demise,
is a series of moments.
Regardless which part you look at,
it's the past of the moment ahead of it.
Do you understand this?
GOD CANDIDATE NEWS
What happens in the future
eventually becomes the past,
so everything is already decided?
No. It means there is no "in the future",
and all pre-determined moments
exist alongside each other.
That explanation is even more confusing.
I think only God,
who has seen both humanity's
past and future, has the right to say so.
Is that the limit of your understanding?
Then think of it this way.
Whether it's tens of thousands
or hundreds of millions of years,
it's only a brief moment in the universe.
In that single moment,
birth and extinction exist indefinitely.
It doesn't matter
if you don't understand it now.
Because I'll be proven right
in a hundred years or so.
Humans are destined
to understand it one day.
I'm simply completing
pre-determined actions for that moment.
That's fine.
But that is just your ideal future.
"For the world." "For humanity."
"For the future."
You're just doing this for yourself.
You're no different.
All humans live only for themselves.
People find happiness
in chasing their ideals.
To prevent a false god from being created.
To insist there is no God.
These are your ideals.
But they sacrifice too much.
My ideal is to finish this
with the least amount of deaths possible.
And that relates to my happiness.
The future is
an accumulation of the present.
It's not determined.
I'll win my own future.
I'll kill you with this arrow.
You won't be saying that for much longer.
I've looked into you.
I'd say it's over already.
Yoneda
What have you done?
You still don't get it?
You have to make a choice.
A choice of life and death.
Either you give up
on becoming a false god,
or Yellow will die.
At present, this is the best way
to prevent a false god being born.
Okay. Make your decision.
You have 28 seconds.
THE ELECTED GOD CAN CONFISCATE
THE ANGEL TOOLS OF OTHER GOD CANDIDATES
Didn't you say you hate
causing trouble to others,
and that you
plan to kill yourself one day?
Surely killing someone
is the biggest trouble you can cause!
Feel free to take your own life though!
You're not wrong,
but there's something I have to do
with the professor now.
That's the priority.
Kakehashi, time's running out.
All right.
I give up on being God.
The god candidate, Mirai Kakehashi,
has given up on becoming God.
Does this mean there won't be a new god?
Mirai Kakehashi has given up
on becoming God!
Won't there be a new god now?
This won't do. I need there to be a God.
What do you think Yellow is saying
while watching this?
I suppose she's saying, "It doesn't matter
what happens to me. Just kill Yoneda."
Huh? She's not saying that.
Still, I'm disappointed in you, Red.
When I heard that you
would do nothing after becoming God,
I thought you were a person
who could analyze matters calmly.
It seems I overestimated you.
12 minutes and 49 seconds ago,
you said it was only
a difference of number.
That you could save millions
of lives by defeating me.
But the choice you made
is for Yellow alone.
It abandons millions of lives.
-He was all talk!
-He chickened out for his girlfriend.
-He sucks.
-I'll kill him.
I'm glad he's not becoming God,
even if it is a false one.
If I were you, I wouldn't make
such a foolish decision.
For you,
the life of Yellow is most precious.
Then the lives of millions of people,
then me in last place.
Am I right?
You're right.
Saki Hanakago
is the most important person in my life.
The most important?
I hate when people regard others
as the most important person to them,
when there's no basis to do so at all.
"Most important person."
"Person of my destiny."
These are preconceptions of weak humans.
It's just a fantasy.
There are more than
7,7 billion people on Earth.
Men desire women.
Women desire men.
You just can't resist this animal instinct
that has existed since ancient times,
so you gave up on becoming a false god
Professor.
As a human, you have your flaws too.
"Friendship, lovers, and friends."
"These are simply tools used in novels
to please the readers."
I've read your work.
It actually read,
"love, friendship, and friends".
Are you trying to say that these
are unobtainable in real life?
And even if you do,
you get betrayed in the end?
That's right.
Actually, I've also experienced
this feeling in real life.
-He stinks!
-Cover your nose!
-Stinky!
-Stinky
I'm 15 years old.
Although I say she's
the most important person to me,
I know we might not be able
to stay together forever.
What?
Still,
how can you reject friendship
and love as fantasy?
That's not something that should be said.
You only say that,
because you've never
had relationships with others.
You don't understand
the feelings of others.
Someone who's experienced love
would never say something like that.
There is nothing wrong with my decision.
In this moment,
I love her. That's all that matters!
Amazing. I'm envious.
Hey edgelord,
bet you've never been in love either, huh?
-Shut up!
-Man you're scary.
I like what you just said now.
It makes your next choice
all the more meaningful.
My next choice?
Next you must choose
If you die, or Yellow dies.
You may have
given up on becoming a false god,
but I can't let you leave here alive.
You should have realized
when we started talking alone,
that one of us
would have to kill the other.
I'll give you
another 28 seconds to decide.
Shall I shoot you with my White Arrow?
Or would you prefer
to have Shuji Nakaumi shoot one at Yellow?
Of course,
if you do choose to sacrifice yourself,
but end up dodging the White Arrow,
Yellow will die.
Revel, tell Kakehashi
not to worry about me!
-Saki.
-No.
If Revel or Yazeli leaves this room,
I'll kill all of you.
Listen to me! Tell him, please.
No, Saki.
For me, your life
is more important than Mirai's.
We should entrust this to our partners.
Well, let's get started.
The professor thinks
I'll choose to sacrifice myself.
As a person who possesses White Arrows,
I'm in his way.
The fact is,
in order to break through this deadlock,
killing the professor is the best way.
Can you guarantee Yellow's safety
if I were to die?
What about Ms. Temari?
She said she hopes one of us
will become God.
She can't survive without Red Arrows.
What she needs is money.
Providing her with the financial aid
she requires is no problem at all.
What? The professor
wants to be my sugar daddy?
Things might work out for me whoever wins.
The professor is lying.
The only way to stop the creature's birth
is to kill all the god candidates.
To do so, he must first kill Red,
the most troublesome of them all.
He has no choice but to lie.
Mirai, you mustn't do it.
I came so that you'd find happiness.
So you mustn't die.
You won't gain happiness
if you die, right?
You must also find happiness on behalf of
your family members who died.
Come on, you pulled yourself together
even after your family died.
It's not like you can't find happiness
just because Saki dies.
Five seconds left.
I'll give you mine.
Thank you.
It's a yellow ladybug.
It was the ladybird that found it.
I heard ladybugs are insects
that attract happiness.
I want to live!
You had such a serious face on.
I hope the two of us can always smile
at each other like this.
Kakehashi, I love you.
Some lives are more important
than our own.
Like those of the people we love.
Time's up.
Nakaumi, kill Yellow if Red escapes.
The last two must shoot White Arrows
at each other within 0,15 seconds.
As long as this condition is met,
the creature will not be born.
I don't get it.
Okay, let's say the God selected in this

in order to break through this deadlock,
killing the professor is the best way.
Can you guarantee Yellow's safety
if I were to die?
What about Ms. Temari?
She said she hopes one of us
will become God.
She can't survive without Red Arrows.
What she needs is money.
Providing her with the financial aid
she requires is no problem at all.
What? The professor
wants to be my sugar daddy?
Things might work out for me whoever wins.
The professor is lying.
The only way to stop the creature's birth
is to kill all the god candidates.
To do so, he must first kill Red,
the most troublesome of them all.
He has no choice but to lie.
Mirai, you mustn't do it.
I came so that you'd find happiness.
So you mustn't die.
You won't gain happiness
if you die, right?
You must also find happiness on behalf of
your family members who died.
Come on, you pulled yourself together
even after your family died.
It's not like you can't find happiness
just because Saki dies.
Five seconds left.
I'll give you mine.
Thank you.
It's a yellow ladybug.
It was the ladybird that found it.
I heard ladybugs are insects
that attract happiness.
I want to live!
You had such a serious face on.
I hope the two of us can always smile
at each other like this.
Kakehashi, I love you.
Some lives are more important
than our own.
Like those of the people we love.
Time's up.
Nakaumi, kill Yellow if Red escapes.
