Plunderer (プランダラ)

They disappeared...? Jail and the others...

Where did they go?

Jail said they're returning to the future.

The future? What does that mean?!

Three hundred years into the future.

She said, she'll wait for me, for 300 years--for this murderer.

Rihito...

It's quite unbelievable, but...

We have friends in the future...

Three hundred years though? We'd all be dead.

But we can connect with the future.

Right, Rihito?

Yeah, Tokikaze is right.

We'll wrap up this stupid war real quick,

and make sure we connect with the future, where Hina and the others are.

That's our job, I think.

Good speech, Rihito.

Great as always, Commander!

Let's all work together and end this war quickly!

Yeah!

--They won't kill a single person... --Let's do it!

--They won't kill a single person... --I'll work hard!

Class A needs to be the army that doesn't kill.

I won't ever expose them to what I felt...

So... I will do the killing.

I will kill, instead of the others.

That day, war broke out all over the world.

It was a war intended to decrease the population of the world

until it matched the food output.

Later, it was called the Waste War--a war to send extra humans to waste.

It all started 300 years ago.

I want you, the ones watching this, to know...

...what happened to Licht.

The results are superb! It was just as we had hoped.

I... I forced him to kill a person.

It was to allow the children to survive.

But...

We need the Ace...

...to change the future, to save us from unilateral plunder.

Hmm?

What's that guy doing?

Rihito, he's okay...!

Rihito...?

That day... Rihito killed 337 people.

Um... are you okay?

He was the second Ace that was finally born after so much waiting.

A gentle, positive Ace...

"The Tortoise and the Hare" A gentle, positive Ace...

"The Tortoise and the Hare"

To me it felt like I got a big brother, so I called Licht "bro-bro."

It felt like destiny, like I became an experimental subject to meet him.

Licht steadily changed every day.

Perhaps it was due to his overexposure to Schmerman's genes.

He started to grow unhealable scars, all over his body...

...and his mind.

Schmerman's killer impulses took more and more control of Licht as he killed.

By the time he surpassed 10,000 kills...

...Licht lost the ability to smile.

Rihito!

Check this out!

Feeling horny? We can take a bath together, if you'd like!

Wait, um, only bathing, not any more...

Private Ichinose, I order you.

Don't kill any enemies.

He's gone, isn't he?

Our favorite, perverted, kind Rihito...

Nah, we just picked the wrong underwear.

What was his favorite? White? Black? Something more flashy--

Saki...

I'm never going to give up. That Rihito we knew can't be gone.

Yes... All we need is to find some lingerie that he likes and...

Touching, isn't it?

They're working so hard to bring back the commander of the army that doesn't kill.

But Rihito, if you didn't kill anyone, they would all die, right?

Or perhaps... would you like to get them to help you?

I'm sure this is a huge burden for you.

From that day on...

...Licht put on a mask and never took it off in front of the others.

We can't let Rihito do all the killing by himself!

Please let us fight, too!

Calm down, all of you!

Please, sir!

So... you wish to receive the same operation as him?

Class A is always together!

-Yeah! That's right!

--Please, Mr. Schmerman! --Yeah! That's right!

If Rihito must fight, we will, too.

I don't want Rihito-senpai to become any more distant than he is now.

Understood.

Schmerman?!

The plan was to operate on everyone. Going ahead of schedule shouldn't be a problem.

Thus, four additional compatible subjects were found.

Tokikaze Sakai, Ace of Sudden Strikes...

Taketora Doan, Ace of Heavy Strikes...

Mizuka Sonohara, Ace of Pursuit...

Captain Alexandrov Grigorovich, Ace of Explosive Strikes.

We thought this would keep Licht from doing all of the killing himself, but...

Rihito!

Don't kill--ever.

I'm an Ace now, too! I can't let...

This is a direct order as your commander. Never kill anyone.

Please take me with you! Rihito-senpai!

That was a direct order! You're a soldier now!

Wait! Rihito!

Disobey my orders and I will cut you down.

Rihito...

Now is the time.

What do you mean?

To take the offensive.

The Original Ballots.

We can't stay on the defensive if we want to bring an end to this.

You're right about that, but...

We are not immune to the worsening food problems plaguing the other nations.

Soon, we will die alongside them.

We should set the other plan in motion as soon as possible.

Alcia...

We can gain unfathomable powers by getting all seven Original Ballots

and achieving a unanimous vote.

A power surpassing that of the simple majority,

even bending the laws of nature...

Yes, and with that, we must create our utopia, Alcia,

before it becomes too late.

What's the call, Schmerman?

Alan, it seems like there is no chance to save this world, as we thought.

You're right...

If this is the only way to save the children...

But I suppose Rihito will never forgive me, no matter how much I apologize.

The blame is for me alone.

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill enemies!

How strong is he?!

Kill!
