Angel Beats! (エンジェルビーツ!)

Everyone here is out playing around at night.

Which means...

I have to exact punishment.

What does this mean?

Kanade...

Hey, what's going on?

Wasn't Angel harmless now?

No...

That's not Kanade.

Kanade never drew her blade on us before we showed signs of resistance.

Dammit!

Yurippe, what should we do?

Everyone, form a semi-circle around her!

Why the hell are you giving orders?

Even if she's protected by Distortion, just attack!

Who do you think you are?

Got it!

Let go of me!

Roger!

Move, Yuri!

Fire!

Dammit!

Is Kanade going to be okay?

It's quite a deep wound...

She's the same as us.

Even fatal injuries will heal up.

How could there be two of her?

Has this world become even more messed up?

There's a reason.

What is it?

Do you remember the Angel Area Invasion mission?

Yeah...

We found some skill development software on her computer right?

There were a number of powers we'd never seen listed there.

There was one skill called "Harmonics". She activated it.

Harmonics...

What kind of power is that?

Weren't you looking at the screen?

It's a skill that splits her into two.

Basically, a clone.

A clone?

In other words, this skill is something Angel developed herself using that software?

But the other one didn't feel like she was quite the same.

She was way more aggressive than this Angel.

Why?

Kanade wouldn't use a skill for any reason other than to protect herself.

Even when she used her blade, it was just to ricochet our shots.

Seriously, you people are one useless bunch.

With the exception of Otonashi-san, of course!

We're supposed to be a bunch of idiots!

Consider this possibility.

Suppose that when she created that clone, she had a strong offensive intent in mind.

Back then?

I see...

So the clone is continuing to obey the original's command from back then, even now?

But Kanade herself wouldn't go on an all-out assault like that...

Not that it matters, but you seem pretty determined to defend her.

Well...

Don't you feel sorry for her?

Well, whatever.

So, what exactly are we discussing?

A way to fight Angel's clone?

Idiot.

We have to make it disappear.

What did you say?!

But if she voluntarily created the clone, she should be able to erase it voluntarily too.

Can't we just wait for Kanade to wake up?

Wait, if she could voluntarily erase it, would she be lying here like this now?

It was most likely an unconscious command.

That's why she can't erase her.

She had to do something, even if it meant getting stabbed herself.

Hey, wait a second!

If she won't disappear, will this world be stuck with that monster?

She's ignoring us now, but she probably won't let us off the hook tomorrow.

If we don't act like the model students, it'll probably turn into another bloodbath like last night.

Even through she isn't the student council president anymore?

Yes.

The directive to correct our actions has been embedded deep into her.

On top of that, she's aggressive.

This is bad.

Even if we were to try taking her on, there wouldn't be enough time.

I need some time.

How can we buy you time?

Go to class and pretend you're paying attention.

Don't listen to anything the teacher says.

If you take the lesson seriously, you'll disappear.

Concentrate on doing something else, just don't get caught by the clone.

Hold out for one day.

I pray we can all meet up afterwards without losing anyone.

Angel Area}

I already know she splits in two!

I need some way to get rid of the other one...

Angel Player?

Looks like a software manual...

Damn!

It's such a thick book, and all in English!

I don't have the time for this!

Let's see...

The number went up...

So this is distance?

Don't care.

What's this?

Yes! This is it!

Originally, the clone was supposed to obey this order and vanish.

So, what do you have to do to activate this?

I don't get it...

How about I just break the computer?

Am I stupid?

That won't make the clone vanish!

Whatever!

I'll just rewrite it into a program I do understand!

Hurry up and disappear!

Delay - 10 seconds!

How's that?

10 seconds feels a long time when you're waiting.

Why wasn't I able to make it less than 10 seconds?

Alright, that should be good.

What's this?

There's more of them?

Howling?

Did the clone make this?

Should I delete it?

No, I've been careful so far.

I should keep alterations to a minimum.

which sounds wrong in Japanese as well as english :D)}

That should be good.

Now Angel just needs to use Harmonics, and the Absorb skill will activate and re-merge the clone.

We screwed up...

Maybe she just went out somewhere?

No way.

Kanade promised she'd stay with us!

She promised that?

Yeah...

Judging by this mess, we can only assume she was kidnapped.

You! What did you do?

What do you mean by that?

I just rewrote a program.

If she uses her power again, the ability I added in will activate,

and the clone will re-merge with her.

You were able to do that?

It was just a quick patch though...

But the enemy moved faster than I expected.

If the clone hides her, there's nothing we can do.

So what now?

We have to look for her.

While avoiding Angel's brutal gaze?

It took all of our effort just to pretend to take lessons.

I guess it'll come down to how long the diversion lasts.

By diversion, you mean me?

Why did you join GirlDeMo in the first place?

Because I admire Iwasawa-san?

GirlDeMo is supposed to be a diversion!

No way, I can't keep such a scary enemy distracted!

Do it!

Who the hell do you think you are?

I'm your senior! I should be the one getting mad!

My senior? Well sorry then!

I might wet myself during the performance, but I'll do it!

I appreciate the determination, but I don't need you to yet.

Let's do what we can for now.

This is a battlefront-wide order:

Collect witness reports of Angel!

Hey, yo, check this out!

It's moonwalk, it's a moonwalk!

Head spin!

From the information we managed to gather, there's a good chance she's being held captive in Guild.

And if that's the case, it'll be in the deepest area.

In the area we detonated?

Right.

The traps are still set.

It's the most dangerous, farthest location from here.

We've got to go down there again?

Last time we pretty much got wiped out.

What, you scared?

You're the first person who died.

I'll keep singing even if I pee myself, for everyone's sake!

I'll be brave!

If that monster strikes, the diversionary squad will be wiped out instantly.

We'll go without a diversion this time.

We're going in openly.

While fighting Angel?

Right.

Listen up.

The plan is to descend into Guild and recapture the original Angel.

Operation...

Start!

Good to see the traps we fell for last time are still inactive.

Lucky!

Um... If we run into Angel here, I might wet myself...

I don't care.

Care, damn you!

I don't care.

Care, damn you!

So she's appeared.

Fire!

Damn, she's fast!

We still have handguns!

Guard Skill: Distortion.

Get her before she recovers!

It looks like we'll get this done faster than planned.
