Slip Arc

Watch the Slip Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!

Don't do it. You'll be mincemeat if you fall from this high up.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I just want to know if I still have the wings to fly.

And I came here to find out, is all.

Life is precious. Don't throw it away.

Life, Death, and Shades

Look who's talking!

You totally wanna lay waste to a life!

You're totally trying to kill someone, right? You're an assassin, aren't you?!

Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just here to hunt boars.

From how far away are you trying to hunt boars?!

Really, don't be stupid. Don't commit a murder.

I don't wanna hear that from a suicidal man.

I don't wanna hear that from an assassin!

I don't wanna hear that from a man wearing filthy-ass shades.

I don't wanna hear that from a man wearing lame-ass shades!

Your shades are more lame.

Nah, your shades are more lame.

Let me be honest.

I couldn't care less what kind of shades you wear, or when and where you wear them.

We're talking about shades now?!

Besides, do you really have it in you to jump?

You've been doing this every day for the past month.

Even though I want to die,

thinking about shades smashing into the ground makes my shades tremble.

You're an assassin, right?

Do you know a way to die that isn't scary or sad and doesn't hurt or break shades?

You're basically saying you don't wanna die.

If nothing else, I want my shades to live on!

Can't you just take them off before you die?

I'm an assassin, you know.

If I stop to think about how my victims feel, I couldn't do my—

Oh, I know!

I could just have you kill me!

Wha—

You could send me to heaven in one shot, without letting me feel any pain or fear!

Screw you. Do you have any idea how much money is involved in each of my shots?

I don't waste my rounds.

Be it when I'm killing my targets

or when I'm making love to women.

All it takes is one shot. It's over in an instant.

Huh? Done already, CEO?

That's my creed.

One and Done

and that's where my moniker of "One and Done Synshen" comes from.

Synshen

They're just mocking you for shooting your load early!

Guess I'll have to kill myself right here and now, then.

Wait, wait.

How about this?

You head to the roof of that skyscraper now.

Welcome to Earth!!

My target is taking part in a welcoming party there.

You're really hunting a boar?!

Once I give the signal, jump off the roof.

When you fall into my crosshairs that will be aimed at my target,

Me

Boar

I will pierce you both through with one shot.

That should do, right?

Aren't you making this too hard for yourself?

And the shades are being smashed to bits anyway!

I guess around here is fine.

Now I just have to wait for the signal.

With this, I can finally go to heaven—

Don't do it.

You'll be mincemeat if you fall from this high up.

Put yourself in the shoes of the lady who runs the cutlet place down there.

Actually, before all that...

Life is precious. Don't throw it away.

Really?! Here, too?!

There's an assassin here, too?!

If you don't want to die, leave at once.

But I do want to die!

I hear that One and Done Synshen is targeting this building.

Could he be an assassin hired by Synshen's enemy to kill him?

I have to go tell him right now, or the assassin who's gonna kill me will lose his...

Wait.

I see. Synshen is on that rooftop.

I must thank you for telling me.

Oh, you can just shoot me in the head in return.

Sorry, but I can't do that.

Even an assassin has his creed.

The only people I kill are scumbags like Synshen.

Be it targets or women,

I don't go after those on the straight and narrow.

Huh? Done already, CEO?

That's where my moniker "Quickdraw Synron" comes from.

Quickdraw

Synron

Your moniker has nothing to do with your creed!

Are all assassins too quick to shoot their loads?

How about we do this?

You head back to that building

and lure Synshen somewhere I can snipe him

using a scummy tactic.

If you do that, I promise to shoot both you scumbags in the head.

This has gotten even more complicated!

I came here to die!

Why am I playing accomplice in an assassination?!

S-Synshen...

They got me.

Run away.

The enemy already has the entire city under its control.

I wanted to let you know that your life is in grave danger...

Hey, hang in there!

B-Before I die, could you take me up there?

Just wait.

Hell yeah! He fell for it!

I'll get you to a hospital right away.

No, forget that. Just take me up there before I die.

You moron! Don't be so quick to say you're gonna die!

Why is he so full of passion?!

I told you that I'd kill you.

Don't you dare die until then.

He's a much nicer guy than I thought!

W-Wait. Aren't you a professional assassin?

Are you sure you should leave your job unfinished?

What do you think is more important? A job, or a person's life?

And who was it that was taking people's lives on the job?

Damn those scumbags.

Uh, you're the scumbag. Don't forget where you stand.

First they take my sister, and now they want to take my friend, too?

When did we become friends?!

What's going on?

Is there a sniper on that rooftop, too?

Sorry, Synron-san! This is as far as I can go!

I mean, he's actually a really nice guy!

I'll be the decoy.

In the meantime, you use this to take out that sniper.

Asking a half-dead guy to kill someone?

I can't tell if he's a nice guy or a bad guy anymore!

Don't die.

Like I said, I came here to die!

What the hell is going on?!

I came here to die!

I don't care anymore! I'll kill or whatever!

If I actually try to kill Synron, I'm sure he'll kill me.

He's already dead!

Hey! What are you doing?

S-Sorry, I screwed up.

I panicked and rushed to kill Synshen, but I failed to notice my rounds were gone.

He took that chance to hit you?

No, like I said...

I lost my rounds.

That really is one hell of a screw-up!

If I don't have any rounds, I can't kill you.

You don't need those round ones for that.

I'm no longer fit to be a sniper.

Huh? Done already, CEO?

You were never fit and firing there anyway!

But it's fine.

Even if I did have the rounds, I wouldn't have been able to fire.

Some scumbag he was.

I can't believe he acted like that in front of his enemy in the middle of a hit job.

Do you know why my boss is being targeted by Synshen?

This is what people call him behind his back:

"slave trader."

The stuff he peddles includes people

and Synshen's kid sister who was with him when he was an orphan.

Only then did he start walking down the path of a scumbag.

So when I saw him do that, I realized something.

He came here as a brother trying to save his sister.

Could you tell him something for me?

"I don't have the rounds to shoot you with anymore,

but I still have enough to unload into scumbags!"

Unload those into me, not scumbags!

I'm done with this crap!

I'm just gonna jump off the roof!

It's been 20 years since we were sold off.

Our appearances have changed completely since then,

and we even cast our names aside,

but it seems we both chose to walk down the same path to get our sibling back.

You don't have the rounds to shoot me with anymore?

Ichiko, you never had any round ones to begin with.

You siblings would've been better off killing each other.

If you two can't settle things yourselves, I can help.

You were always like that, Ichiko.

You loved to dress up like a boy and play with us.

You're so mean, Ichiro-nii!

I'm out of water here!

That's why I keep telling you...

You're too quick to shoot your load.

Jeez! How can I win, then?

Isn't that obvious?

You put everything you have into one shot.

Is he going to shoot me along with his sister?

Get ready for my best shot.

Because I've already fired it.

If you can kill me, I'd like to see you try!

Man, in the end...

I didn't die!

Looks like your wings are still right there.

In our job, fieldwork is everything.
