An ordinary high school student.
A new beginning.
The three-year journey is about to begin.
An... gel...
Could he be guarding Metropoliman?
Calm down. I'm not with Nasse now.
He won't know I am a god candidate...
if I could just walk by naturally.
It's too late.
You reacted after seeing me.
You are sweating profusely.
I never thought I would find a god candidate so near me.
What is it?
Are you nervous?
It's not your first time seeing an angel, right?
So... So near?
Whose angel...
Just like you, she's a student at this school.
She's behind you.
Saki?
Kakehashi.
I have been struck...
by Saki's Red Arrow...
Saki is a god candidate too.
Yes. He'll fall in love with Saki now.
I felt the strike
but I've always had feelings for Saki.
Nothing can...
Saki,
I like you.
I like you very much!
I like you very much. I love you.
Saki?
Why...
Why do you look dispirited?
Why do you put on such an expression?
Tell me.
I am willing to do anything for you.
Saki,
do as I said.
Kakehashi, do you have wings?
Saki,
I do.
Yes! He has wings.
Do you remember where I live?
Of course. I like you.
My room is on the third floor.
You can get in through the window.
Wait for me there. Don't let yourself be seen.
Are you sure?
After the entrance ceremony,
I will return home at once.
Okay.
I will wait for you.
Saki!
I like you. I like you very much!
By the way, what is his angel doing?
She isn't protecting him at all.
But that's good for us.
I can't believe I'm waiting for Saki in her room.
Saki... My mind is filled with Saki now.
This feeling...
I feel so happy.
Saki!
Saki...
I like you.
We are in the same class, Kakehashi.
Really?
The Red Arrow is working.
He will answer pretty much all your questions.
Ask him, Saki.
Is your angel in the first-rank or the second-rank?
Kakehashi, tell me.
She said she was a special-rank.
Special-rank?
Saki, ask him if he has White Arrow.
Do you have White Arrow?
She does but I told her I didn't need it...
Are you... Metropoliman?
No, I am not!
Looks like it doesn't go as smoothly as I wish.
Well... maybe it's better if he is not Metropoliman...
Mirai Kakehashi, please listen up.
Saki doesn't have wings to help her dodge the arrow.
I hope you can be Saki's wings.
Wings?
Yes.
There are dangerous ones amongst the god candidates too.
I want to protect Saki.
Saki.
Of course!
I will be Saki's wings!
Great!
We don't know what'll happen at any time.
Let's practice flying right away.
Practice flying?
First, put your hands together.
May I?
Saki's fingers...
She has a small and soft hand.
It's warm.
Connect your bracelets,
and it will act as a safety rope.
You won't be separated as long as you don't wish to.
Now hug her from behind.
Uhm... Like this?
It's like dancing.
Well, I'll take off now.
Great.
There are only Saki and me in this vast sky now.
Aren't you afraid?
No.
We haven't spoken like this for a while.
Back then, our families used to get together often.
Right, let me show you something awesome.
Saki, cheer up.
Tell me all your worries.
I want to be of your help.
I am willing to do anything to make you smile.
Thank you. But this is my personal matter.
Don't worry about me.
Saki.
But I'm glad I get to talk to you today.
You have lifted my spirit a little.
That's great.
It seems you could fly smoothly.
Great.
Saki not having wings won't be a problem now.
It's Metropoliman news.
Metropoliman news?
Yeah.
My angel Revel told me to keep up to date with his news.
Metropoliman caught a phantom killer,
and he'll appear on Sakura TV at 6 p.m.
Our biggest concern at the moment is Metropoliman.
In my opinion,
We should look into the personality and actions
of the god candidates so as to pass a fair decision.
But it's different with Metropoliman.
To lure the god candidates out,
he's been playing the hero since the incident.
Even the media and the police have become his partners.
To achieve his goal of becoming God,
he is planning to kill all other candidates.
A god candidate shouldn't have such a mindset.
Someone has to correct him.
Someone has to...
His angel is in the special-rank and possesses White Arrow.
If this goes on, Saki will soon become his target.
Saki.
No way. Saki is going to die?
No way.
I will.
Sakura TV Station at 6 p.m.
I will go.
But it is very dangerous.
Don't worry. When necessary...
When necessary?
Even if we both die,
for Saki, I will...
No, you can't do that.
Nasse.
You didn't come home and I was worried.
What are you doing?
You have fallen into Revel's trap.
I overheard everything from the outside.
You have been struck by Saki's Red Arrow.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
It doesn't matter.
I am very happy.
Special-rank is bestowed on angels with exceptional quality.
And Nasse's quality is innocence,
which is my weakest point...
Or it might actually be the easiest to deal with.
Besides, do you think Metropoliman would agree to talk with you?
Well...
You two might be killing each other.
When the original owner dies,
the wings and arrows can be transferred to another person.
Is that so?
Yes.
So, if you die,
your wings and White Arrow will be transferred to Saki.
Or if Metropoliman dies,
the arrows and the wings you have taken from him
will be transferred to Saki too.
Revel is aiming for either of those, right?
You can't think clearly now because of the Red Arrow.
But...
Kakehashi,
don't go.
Saki.
You must not go.
Okay.
I thought it was a great idea.
I'm sorry. I apologize to you.
That's why you are known as a sly angel.
Isn't there a better word for it? Like bright?
You remain in the second-rank because you are not so outstanding.
Anyway, everyone hopes the human they have chosen to become God.
Who knows what kind of methods they will be using?
Just like you did, Revel.
Well, now that it's come to this,
I think we should join forces. What do you say?
Wait a second. We are joining forces with this rascal?
He tried to sic me on Metropoliman.
Who knows what you will do to Saki after the arrow's effect disappear?
Mirai will never do anything to Saki
because he's always had feelings for her.
Nasse!
What? Really?
But then he might use Red Arrow to...
He will never.
Even if he does, he won't use it to hurt her.
He likes her that much.
Trust him in this.
I get it.
Then, please trust me too.
Okay.
Why did you say okay, Nasse?
Don't worry. Angels can't take the god candidates out.
Moreover, Saki needs the wings, right?
Saki.
All right! As long as I can protect Saki
and gain happiness with her,
I will do anything.
The arrow's power is impressive.
He'll never say things like that usually.
I'm going to live in this room?!
Of course.
Don't you want to protect Saki
anytime and anywhere?
I am fine with it.
Are you okay with it?
Yeah. Until God is chosen.
Saki!
Pull over!
The car at the front, pull over now!
Idiots!
Wh... What?
He's acting like a different person. What happened?
I'm sorry. I'm turning myself in.
You've done it again!
It was a phantom killer yesterday,
and the dealer who sold drugs to that phantom killer,
you caught both without a casualty.
I'm only doing what I should.
Goodbye.
Mr. Metropoliman!
That's it from the scene. He has been a man of few words recently.
Jeez...
Those rascals are not the ones I want to deal with.
I just need to kill 11 more, and that's it, right?
Yes. That's the fastest solution.
I agree.
More than a month has passed since then.
To the remaining 11, bring it on anytime.
No one has come looking for me.
That's not the only matter.
Look, Meyza.
These magazines and newspapers...
If this goes on, I will end up in hell one day.
This isn't a joke.
Are those 11 people so afraid of me?
I reckon they are afraid to be killed.
Afraid to be killed... Right.
Then...
GOD WILL BE CHOSEN FROM THE 13 HUMANS SELECTED BY THE 13 ANGELS,
IN 999 DAYS.
See, I told you.
Nothing about him has changed without the power of the arrow.
That's why I said we don't have to tie him up.
We still have to take precautions.
So sorry.
Mirai seems to actually like Saki.
He's still blushing.
But I'm glad I got struck.
I have not only expressed my heart but also taken action.
Thanks to you, I have realized how important it is.
And being with you makes me feel very happy.
But you can't bring yourself to confess to her.
You... You are annoying.
So,
Metropoliman, who threatens people's happiness,
is not qualified to become God.
That's right.
God should never threaten people's happiness.
He should lead people to happiness.
I will not let Metropoliman hinder our happiness,
whether it's mine or Saki's.
If I can say, our happiness...
Kakehashi.
Looking at you makes me think
I should be happy too.
Let's be happy together.
Well...
I don't mean that I will get together with you...
Right... Of course...
Is the arrow still effective?
They ring at the same time. Could it be...
I knew it.
A live show?
Hope he doesn't say anything foolish.
Now, let's watch the video he sent us.
Good evening, I am Metropoliman.
To be exact, I am a hero in his battle armor.
The 11 enemies...
No. I realized that in a way, we are comrades and partners.
That's so sudden.
I hope it can be resolved amicably.
Let's talk it out.
Talk it out?
As expected, he said foolish things again.
It must be a trap.
I've booked Jinbo Stadium for ourselves. 3 p.m. on Sunday, the day after tomorrow.
I hope to see you there.
That was
the message from Metropoliman.
That's all?
Why did he choose Jinbo Stadium?
Because there isn't any rooftop?
The god candidates with wings can come...
And escape anytime.
He deliberately made it easy so that we might give it a shot.
Yes.
He also knows that many people would turn up to watch the scene.
The candidates would think they can slip away in the crowd.
That's what he wants them to think, and show up.
So, it's a trap...
Of course, it is.
It's such a short notice in the first place.
The god candidates without wings...
It's possible since they are within the country.
Nasse, didn't you tell him?
Well...
This country has a better environment than other countries.
But there are many people who commit suicide, right?
Something like that.
So, Metropoliman will definitely show up.
You will be killed if you show up.
I don't think he actually wants to talk it out.
It's strange to meet at the stadium.
Mirai, you're not thinking of going, are you?
The TV station will broadcast it live anyway.
I'd say it's best to watch it on TV.
What will happen at Jinbo Stadium?
Sakura TV Station will be running a live broadcast all the way.
I, Demakawa, and the self-claimed leading expert at Metropoliman,
Mr. Masayoshi will be running an exclusive live broadcast.
There are angels.
The other god candidates are here too.
How many of them have shown up now?
Let's talk it out.
He has no intention to talk it out.
Kakehashi.
You better not keep looking up at the sky.
Don't react to things that only the god candidates can see.
Like Revel told us.
You're saying you want to go?
You know it is a trap.
I know that so I can be careful.
And some matters have to be clarified with our own eyes.
If you insist,
regardless of what happens, just act as ordinary people would do...
In the worst-case scenario, leave there at an invisible speed.
-Also... -I get it.
I will never do anything unnecessary, and that attracts attention.
I promise.
But...
If I have a chance to shoot Metropoliman with Red Arrow...
Don't worry.
The helicopter or the drone,
they are just filming the faces of people
for the live broadcast.
I think that's what they are for.
Anyway, we must remain in the crowd.
And we shouldn't be discussing something like this loudly.
Will Metropoliman and the other 11 people have the chance to talk it out?
They were the enemies at first.
Can't wait to see what will happen later.
Saki.
By the way, this is tight security.
It's simply at its highest alert.
The police force is on duty instead of security staff.
And it's almost 3 p.m., the time designated by Metropoliman.
10...
-9, 8, 7, 6... -The countdown has started at the stadium.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Here he is.
Here he is! He arrives on time as promised!
It's Metropoliman!
Look. Hey!
He's flying!
There are two!
There... There are two new ones!
That is...
Metroblue and Metroyellow!
Not just Metropoliman, but Metroblue and Metroyellow have also
arrived at the stadium!
Kakehashi.
Wings and Red Arrow.
Both of them have first-rank or higher angels.
They are planning to shoot him. Are they going to fight?
Why... Why doesn't he spread his wings?
Kakehashi.
The Red Arrow
can't strike him?!
