Platinum End (プラチナエンド)

-- --

Everyone is born with the goal

of finding happiness and everyone lives

with the aim of attaining even greater happiness.

I wish I was going to Shuei High with you guys.

Come on, now. Stop crying.

I'll see you tomorrow at three.

Let's do karaoke during spring break.

We're gonna be best friends in high school, right?

Cut it out, you freak-a-zoid!

I'm really gonna miss you, buddy!

It's time, to die.

I just wanted to be happy.

I'm conscious.

What's going on?

Does it mean I've already crossed over?

Wait a minute, could Heaven and Hell actually exist?

What's that?

No way, is that an angel?

Amazing, angels exist.

If this means I'm going to heaven, I guess that's fine.

Oh, hey, you're awake Mirai.

Glad I made it in time.

What? Made it in time?

Mhmm.

I caught you before you hit the ground.

You'd be dead now if I hadn't.

Go on, take a look down there.

Excuse me?

Take a close look.

You'll notice there's no body on the ground

and no one's making a fuss.

You're right.

Is this reality?

No way.

How am I not dead?

Oh it's real.

That means I'm the person who saved your life.

Oh, I guess I should have said the angel, right?

That's insane.

You shouldn't have interfered.

Just drop me.

No way!

The whole point of my coming here was to make you happy.

Happy?

Yes, that's right.

Remember the moment right before you jumped?

You said you just wanted to be happy.

No, you're wrong.

I never said that.

You definitely did.

Well, regardless, I've now given up on all that.

It's in the past.

Just let me die.

I don't have anything to live for.

I haven't, since, since--

I am aware.

When you were only seven years old,

your whole family died.

How did?

And it was soon after that,

that your aunt and uncle took you in.

That moment marked the real beginning

of your life of pain, didn't it?

You little brat!

Don't forget who took you in when you had nowhere to go!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Don't make a sound.

My life became nothing but pain.

I have no family, no friends.

I don't want to go on.

Truth is, there's no hope anywhere in my future.

You're wrong!

As a special rank angel, I'm here to give you hope!

Give me hope?

Yeah!

I'm offering you hope to live with freedom or love.

I don't know what she's talking about.

I just want to be done with this.

What she's suggesting is stupid.

Oh really?

You think so?

Okay, then.

Let's start with freedom.

Up to this moment, you've been living as little more

than a slave.

But now you'll be able to go where you want, when you want.

And then there's love.

Even though you have no family or friends,

you'll find that everyone will adore you.

Trust me.

Those are empty promises.

What?

How would you do it?

How would you give me those things?

Freedom or love?

Both of them are invisible, vague concepts.

Not true.

You can already see one of them.

For example, look at these wings.

They can fly faster than the human eye can follow

and can take you anywhere.

That's freedom.

What?

And then there's the matter of love.

This is the Angel's arrow.

And you can trust me.

Any man or woman who's struck by this red arrow

will fall deeply in love with you.

Isn't that great?

So choose.

Either these wings or this red arrow.

Encapsulate the hope that I can give you.

So which one?

Is this some supernatural scam?

Neither one of those things exist.

That means I can't choose either one of them.

I might as well just die instead.

I can't choose between those two, so give me both.

Huh?

Then I'll consider it.

Okay.

Then I'll give you everything.

What? I thought I had to choose one or the other.

I only phrased it that way because it's tradition.

You'll get both.

No, wait.

I don't want either of them.

I want to die!

--Just leave me alone! --Here, catch!

What are these things?

The wings sprout from the Angel's Necklace.

The arrow fires from the Armband.

Now, wait just a--

Sorry.

There's no wait.

Those bands can't be removed.

You're serious?

I'll look crazy wearing these things!

Get 'em off.

You don't have to worry. Nobody can see them on you.

Oh, that's not exactly true.

Other people with angels will be able to.

What?

Other people with angels?

So there are more of you around.

How many?

Oh, a few.

Just until the new God is chosen.

The new God?

We'll talk about that later, okay?

How about we give those bans a whirl.

Hold on.

--I still haven't. --Come on!

If you fly you'll land softer.

Thanks for the advice.

Now will you shut up already?

Try your wings first, okay?

So what do I say?

Come forth, angel wings?

That was just great!

They're huge!

Don't even worry about the size.

Nobody else will ever know you have them

and they can't bump into anything.

So now try flying.

That's easier said than done.

What the heck am I supposed to do?

Oh, he's flying all right.

Can I control it?

Incredible.

This is awesome.

It feels amazing.

I've dreamed about flying before.

But that didn't compare to the reality of actually doing it.

Plus, this isn't a dream.

Why am I crying all of the sudden?

It's so beautiful.

Hope to live with freedom, huh?

Well this is freedom for sure.

Everything's so green.

Why is that?

Here, you can have this.

Really, are you sure?

Of course I am.

You're my friend.

Thanks, Mirai.

Today was my graduation ceremony.

That was good for your first time.

You didn't seem to be scared at all.

I couldn't fly before and I jumped off a building.

Come on, tell the truth.

Wasn't flying fun?

Hey, admit it.

It was an amazing experience, right?

Since you're faster than the human eye now,

you can steal anything you want.

What?

And arrow is amazing too.
