Platinum End (2021) s01e23 Episode Script

1
Nasse, what are you
What are you doing?
If I run away, Saki will die.
You're not the one running.
If you die, everything will be over.
I won't let you get your way this time.
Isn't choosing death the same as suicide?
You said that was the saddest way
for humans to die
Nasse?
This means what Muni said is true.
What?
Nasse!
Kakehashi!
Are you all right?
Nasse is
Mirai, I'm sorry.
I've been demoted to second-rank.
THE FINAL BATTLE OF
GOD CANDIDATES
Second-rank?
It only makes sense.
She directly stopped her god candidate
from giving up God's throne.
Since I've been demoted to second-rank,
I can only bestow you
with Red Arrows or the wings.
Please decide which you want to keep.
Wings or Red Arrows?
If you return the wings,
you won't be able to dodge his arrows.
You should return the Red Arrows.
But if I do, you and Ms. Yumiki
will lose your wings and arrows instantly.
Think about yourself here, not us!
You're a god candidate!
It doesn't matter if I can't fly.
Nasse, I will keep the Red Arrows.
Then I'll take back the bracelets
for your White Arrows and wings.
So sorry.
God said you'll die if I help you again.
Things are pretty much going as I planned.
Now Red has lost his White Arrows
that can be used to kill,
and he can no longer fly by himself.
Nakaumi, have you killed Yellow?
No. Not yet.
That's good.
Hoshi, let go of Red.
If you refuse, I really will kill Yellow.
-Huh?
-What's going on now?
Red is as good as dead.
If he runs away, Yellow will die.
He has to come down.
Mr. Hoshi, please put me down.
No way.
Yoneda will kill you as soon as I do.
I can't stand by and watch you die.
Then put me down and go somewhere else.
Kakehashi
If Red runs away,
I'll shoot a White Arrow at Yellow.
Wait, the professor will surely kill Red.
Either one of us could kill him.
There's no need to think too much.
Just listen to the professor.
All god candidates must die anyway.
From your perspective, Yellow,
all you can do now
is pray for Mr. Hoshi to put Red down.
That's not true.
I don't want Red to die at all,
even if I have to die myself.
Just how much do you two love each other?
I'm so envious.
But
I don't want to die either.
I want to live and find happiness.
Kakehashi feels the same way too.
He wants to live and become happy.
Because that's what he taught me.
I know he wishes for that too.
Shut up!
Stop saying things like that
at a time like this.
Nakaumi, you can't bring yourself to kill.
That's nonsense.
He's killed loads of people.
They were people who wanted to die.
He's never killed anyone
with a desire to live.
But he was hit
by the professor's Red Arrow.
He will kill
if that's what he's told to do.
-Not necessarily.
-What?
Even if a person hit by a Red Arrow
is told to kill themself,
they won't die if they have no desire to.
For Nakaumi, who values the lives
of others more than his own,
it must be hard for him
to kill someone who wants to live.
Nakaumi is very kind-hearted.
He only wants to save
those who are suffering.
He took it upon himself to hit
those who want to die with Red Arrows,
simply to guide them.
Shut up!
If you keep talking I'll kill everyone.
Then,
try killing me,
a person who doesn't want to die.
Kill me and tell the professor about it.
This way, Kakehashi won't have to die.
Saki.
Okay.
I will kill you.
Mirai, think it over again.
Even if Saki dies,
you'll be able to get over it.
Stop making me repeat myself.
I might have said I'd become God,
but I won't let Saki die for it.
I can't build my happiness
on Saki's death.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
So dying here is what would make you
most happy right now?
No. It would make me unhappy.
But Saki dying
would make me even more unhappy.
I can't think of any other way.
This is my best option.
Unhappy?
I'm sorry.
I came to bring you happiness,
but it looks like I failed.
It's fine.
Thanks to you saving my life back then,
I was able to experience some happiness.
How long do you plan to chit-chat?
Do you want me to start timing again?
Mr. Hoshi, do you understand?
I understand.
Well then
Goodbye.
First deflect the White Arrow
with Red Arrow, then shoot a Red Arrow.
No.
I no longer have wings.
No matter what I try,
Saki will die if I fail to pull it off.
Saki.
-He vanished
-Did he run away?
Saki.
ANGELS MUST NO
DIRECTLY AFFECT GOD CANDIDATES
WITH THEIR OWN ARROWS AND WINGS.
Saki.
Kakehashi.
Yellow?
Yumiki! Nakaumi!
The god candidates that left
have all returned!
What's going on?
Although Nakaumi
has been hit by your Red Arrow,
he can't bring himself
to kill someone who wants to live.
Yoneda,
you made every effort to avoid
dealing with other people until now.
It seems you lack the ability
to understand how other people feel.
Professor, I'm sorry.
I can cross White Arrows with you
to stop the birth of the creature.
But I can't bring myself
to kill the other god candidates.
Crossing White Arrows?
He planned to kill all the god candidates.
The last two shoot each other.
That way, God won't be born.
I expected this.
I've planned for a situation like this.
Nakaumi,
return the White Arrows I gave you.
What's the matter?
Die.
Professor!
Wait.
Nasse, what are you doing?
We'll win if the professor dies!
-What?
-Did the professor nearly die just now?
I saw him disappear for a second
then move to the side.
Because, Mirai,
you don't actually
want the professor to die, do you?
Nasse
The next time you touch a god candidate
to save them, Mirai will die.
You said that yourself.
Mirai, I seem to be
a special-rank angel again.
I get it now.
What you just did was the opposite
of saving your own god candidate.
So that's why she was promoted,
instead of being demoted?
Jeez. Everything Nasse does
is unprecedented.
Here you go, Mirai.
Your White Arrows and wings.
No. I no longer need them.
If it weren't for that angel,
I'd be dead now.
Professor Yoneda just said
he'd be dead if it wasn't for that angel.
This means
So the professor did nearly lose his life.
From a White Arrow?
Shot by Red?
No.
It was Yuri who shot at him.
The angels have saved my life twice.
Nakaumi, why did you betray me?
I didn't betray you.
I think you are right.
Right. I kind of tricked him into
handing over the White Arrows.
Nakaumi.
I can't kill.
Thank you.
Now untie me!
Great! She made it in time!
We should go too.
Wait a minute. I don't trust you.
Let me keep the White Arrows for you.
We're both god candidates.
They can be transferred, right?
I think your views are correct.
But those are only views. Ideas.
Our lives are our own.
And we are free to decide
how much value we place on them.
But the lives of those who wish to live
being ended based on someone else's views,
seemed wrong to me.
Ever since I stepped forward
as a god candidate
No. Ever since I appeared
before the media, I was prepared to die.
Why is showing your face
something to die over?
And yet I can't get more followers
no matter how hard I brag on social media.
Oh, because you'd lose female fans
if you showed your face?
The professor just wants
to do his research in peace.
Are you saying this is a normal worry
for genius scholars or something?
That's right.
Geniuses don't exist.
I'm certainly not a genius,
but a foolish human.
You call me a genius
for what I've achieved, not for who I am.
Therefore it's foolish to assume people
are capable and then criticize them when
they don't produce results.
I totally get that!
I hate people who say,
"You can do it if you just try!"
Whether or not
we do something is our choice.
That's a valid interpretation too.
Listen up.
That which is truly,
omniscient and omnipotent,
and that which is truly evil,
will never show itself.
When you say
arrogant things like "listen up",
it makes me not want to
readily agree with you.
Indeed.
This attitude I adopted
thanks to my status as honorary professor
is another part of my foolishness.
It's just an act.
There's no way you're a foolish person.
You have achieved so much.
You must be a genius!
He won Nobel Prizes
in literature and physics after all.
And his Yoneda cell research
will win him the medical one,
They say he's sold more than
a billion books throughout the world.
He's a genius.
-Yeah.
-A genius!
-Genius!
-He's a genius!
No. It's exactly as you all say.
I did everything I could to avoid people.
That's why
I don't understand people's feelings.
I have no friends or love.
I replaced them with papers on psychology
and feigned my understanding.
I'm a foolish and despicable human.
I knew I shouldn't have
gotten involved with anyone.
No. I got involved in the wrong way.
The false angel before me
is more like a devil.
Muni told me I was capable of exposing
the mechanism of the god election.
I went on living because she incited me,
saying I'd be able to find the truth.
After becoming a god candidate
and seeing you all,
I couldn't resist getting involved.
But thanks to that,
I was able to say that now is the time
for humankind to make it clear.
that there is no God.
I'm satisfied with that.
Just do whatever you want.
Professor.
Maybe humans can only find happiness
through other humans.
And I don't mean
by comparing yourself to others.
You said you did this for yourself,
but you really did it for humanity.
While I did it for Saki.
There are things we want to protect,
even if it costs our lives.
There are people we want to protect.
That's something to find happiness in.
You have a point.
I've brought you all so much trouble.
Even if happiness
can only be found through others,
we shouldn't cause others trouble.
That is why I ought to disappear.
I will die.
And Red can become the creature.
Die?
Professor Yoneda will?
Why?
How can this be?
Professor!
Professor!
Why are you in such a hurry to die?
I was unscrupulous
in the way I enforced my atheism.
I was too obsessed
with preventing the birth of the creature.
I tried to reach the truth
by killing all the god candidates.
I was fascinated by death.
How foolish I am. Angels saved me twice.
Let me be the creature then!
I'll figure out a way
to tell you everything!
Letting Nakaumi become God was
the conclusion of our first discussion.
So why not?
But Nakaumi has been hit
by the professor's Red Arrow.
Can you force a person shot
with a Red Arrow to agree to becoming God?
As long as Professor Yoneda still thinks
that no God should be birthed,
Shuji Nakaumi can still volunteer
and agree to becoming God himself.
In this case the arrow is of no relevance.
Great, Ogaro.
Your partner Nakaumi can become God.
However, God can't communicate
everything to humans.
Once the god election is over,
we can't come back here.
Things can be communicated, even if he
can't communicate them himself directly.
You will reach it one day.
The truth of everything.
I just can't bring myself to think
that she was lying.
Then this must be the way.
Nakaumi, are you really
willing to do this?
I am.
Well then, I will become God.
Is that okay?
-Yup.
-Yes.
I agree.
Agreed.
It has been decided.
Shuji Nakaumi, 13 years old,
will become God.
-No way!
-For real?
Shuji will become God?
How can this be?
Professor Yoneda!
This is terrible.
The sky. It's
Our wings have vanished.
No way. Our arrows have too!
Mr. Hoshi and Ms. Yumiki aren't moving.
Because they are not god candidates.
I have erased all record
of the god election.
He really has become God.
The creature.
Before I fully become God,
I have something to ask
each of the god candidates.
Do you wish to keep your memories
of the god election
and being a god candidate?
Professor.
You promised me you'd let me
live like a celebrity, right?
Since I promised you,
I won't go back on my words.
That is right.
In that case, I don't need to
hold on to these painful memories.
Of course, I will keep my memories
and wait for your answer.
Besides, without these memories,
I won't be able to help Yuri Temari.
Don't you forget a thing, Professor!
Indeed.
I don't want to forget what I've
experienced and learned.
Nor the god candidates who died,
or the humans
that got dragged into this and died.
I won't just forget about them.
I want to keep mine too.
All right. That's all I wanted to ask.
Goodbye.
Masaya.
Manami.
Yoneda?
That's right.
What? Where am I?
It's October 10th! Am I still alive?
What have I been doing all this time?
You're an honorary professor's
top assistant at his laboratories
at both the Science and Engineering, and
Biology Department at Tokyo University.
What?
But I do think I've seen you before.
A science woman at Tokyo University?
Sounds fancy.
-Let's go home.
-Yeah.
So this is Heaven.
The creature is living off my body.
