Angel Beats! (エンジェルビーツ!)

She wants to replace Iwasawa?

Not a chance...

I'm Yui!

Pleased to meet ya!

Who is that?

Haven't you been listening?

She's a candidate for the GirlDeMo lead vocals position.

Listen,

Girls Dead Monster is a rock band, you know.

Do you want to turn it into an idol unit or something?

No, I really can sing!

Listen and judge for yourself!

She looks the part, at least.

Yay!

Everyone!

Thank you for coming today!

Is this part of her performance?

Is this that "death metal" stuff?

Crazy baby.

G-Gonna die...

No, looks like it was an accident.

She is one hell of a tomboy.

The complete opposite of the cool beauty aura that Iwasawa had.

I don't know if she's fit to be the lead vocalist of Girls Dead Monster...

Should we look for someone else?

Yeah, let's do that.

Hey!

I sang fine, right?

As an Iwasawa fan, I can sing all her songs!

Your singing had no appeal.

None.

Not at all.

Hey!!

Don't cut off a budding young flower with vague comments like that!

Is that how seniors should behave?

Such a noisy girl...

Well she has the motivation.

What should we do?

She has passion, at least.

I think she's just trying to be trendy.

We'll leave it to the other band members to decide.

Really?

Yay!

I get to play with Hisako-san on guitar!

I can't get enough of her murderous riffs!

I want to know what goes through her head!

Cut.

Cut.

Did I say something bad?

We won't be able to pull off any big operations during the ball game tournament with the band in this state.

Ball game tournament?

They have those here?

Of course. This is a normal school, after all.

Will we just be spectators then?

We'll be participating, of course.

Won't we disappear if we do that?

We'll be participating illegally, of course.

This is the plan everyone.

Go and gather people to make teams.

Any team which performs worse than the regular students...

...will be subject to a punishment more fearsome than death.

Stop ignoring me!

Isn't she just desperate for action since we can't do anything right now?

It's part of our duties to stay in shape.

This is just a test.

Otonashi...

I need you.

Are you...

No!!

I'm talking about the team!

Let's form a team, Otonashi!

It'll be bad if we lose.

Yurippe is serious about this stuff.

Do you have other members in mind?

Leave it to me.

I practically live on my popularity!

I'll form the strongest team!

You've already joined Takamatsu's team?

Yeah.

I don't get it!

Why didn't you wait for me?

I don't get why you think I'd wait for you.

And I'm sure Takamatsu's team will be better than yours anyway.

That hurts, she's really athletic.

That's some popularity alright.

No choice then.

It's a little unfair, but let's ask the leader-like Matsushita.

I'm sure he's already joined a team.

He'd wait for us.

After all, he's a real friend.

That's embarrassing...

Actually I've already joined Takeyama's team.

What?!

There wasn't any reason not to.

Wait a second!

Why?

I believed in you, of all people!

Well, he said that from now on he'd give me any meat udon meal tickets he picks up.

Meat...

Just now this guy was all like,

"He's a real friend! So embarrassing! Haha!"

about you.

Don't tell him!

Dammit!

We'll ask TK next.

Come on, TK!

By the way, why's he called "TK"?

That's what he calls himself.

No one knows what his real name is.

He's a complete mystery.

But I trust that guy too.

Not again!

Now you're starting to look like TK.

Oh yeah, I didn't catch which ball game we're playing...

Baseball.

So we need seven more people...

No way that's happening.

You seem to be in need of help!

Oh, it's Miss Screaming Death Metal Vocalist.

Do I look like I'd put on a performance like that?!

You really do.

So, what do you want?

You're short on members, right?

I could be useful to your team!

Useful?

Wait, if she gets hit by the ball, it's a dead ball.

Then the other team's pitcher gets thrown out...

So we just need her to get hit!

Alright, you're in!

Your line of reasoning just now is melting and dripping out of your nose!

I'm your senior, you know!

Oh I'm sorry.

I meant to say, it would seem that the contents of your brain have melted and is dripping out your nose.

Like hell it is!

That hurts, senpai...

I'm in pain too!

But she looks like the athletic type.

What are you talking about, Otonashi?

I don't want to even imagine this girl with a screw loose as one of us!

That hurts...

You say that, but the people you've asked so far have all refused to join.

Right, right! I saw that!

So let Yui-nyan♡ join your team!

Say that again?

Yui-nyan! ♡

That's what pisses me off the most about you!

Give give give!

Let's go already.

Shiinacchi!

Where are you? Come out!

Shiinacchi!

What do you want?

We were looking for you.

You're good at athletics, right?

I've never been tested.

You're definitely good!

Let's play some baseball!

Ever since that day...

I've been here pondering how I lost out to that new member there.

You mean the Guild Descent Operation?

It's definitely unbelievable how Otonashi was the only one of us left.

I was just lucky that time.

I should have surpassed you in every way, at all aspects of that operation...

Probably.

If there were one thing I was lacking, it would be concentration.

No, I'm pretty sure you're way better at that too.

Even since that day, I've kept this broom balanced on my fingertip.

She's an idiot, right?

She's an idiot, but she's useful.

This is a good opportunity.

Let's go, kid.

What kind of match is it going to be with you holding that broom?

Baseball, of course!

But have your match at the proper place.

Don't fight one on one here!

Fine.

I don't have to balance a broom, right?

Of course not.

I will demonstrate to you how strong my concentration is.

Alright, that's decided then!

Our idiot count increased!

So we have four people now...

We've got no choice.

I guess we'll go ask that guy.

Nobody would invite him.

He's a simplistic guy who'll only take orders from Yurippe.

So basically, he's an idiot too?

He may be an idiot but we can use him!

And look, nobody can swing a stick around better than him.

So you've come at last.

It's time to settle this once and for all!

But before that we'll do a warm up!

Let's show everyone who has the better baseball skills between you and him!

Why?

You won't get Yurippe's attention by just being strong, you know.

Fine.

What an idiot.

He has no idea he's being used.

Sorry.

Pretty much all the Battlefront members are already on a team.
