In response to
the increasing number of suicides,

the government has set up
an emergency response HQ.

Hiruko released a statement
stating that the mass suicides

are part of a selection
in order to create a new world.

The government has decided to launch
a compulsory investigation into AARO,

due to their suspected
involvement with Hiruko.

Humans are foolish indeed.

There has to be a cause.

Find connections between the victims.

-Yes.
-Understood.

IS THE WORLD ENDING?
NEW GENESIS!

Commissioner Hanazono, we have the total
for the body count from the suicides.

Within the MPD--

Take him away! Quick!

Chief Inspector.

I can't reach Ms. Ninomiya.

It could be that she's also…

Are you all right, Ms. Toyotama?

Sorry.

I couldn't protect you.

Me too, I couldn't throw
the poison bottle.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault
for underestimating our opponent.

Oh, please don't move.

How does it feel?

To be so completely defeated by humans.

I realized something after learning
about gods and investigating all of you.

The technological power of humans
has already surpassed the power of gods.

My memories weren't erased
while I was unconscious.

Which means Hiruko isn't here yet.

You've never met Hiruko, have you?

I was the first human
chosen by Lord Hiruko.

I am a god named Hiruko.

The first one I met was a middle schooler.

She claimed to be a god named Hiruko

that had possessed
the girl I saw before me.

And then…

Will you cooperate with me
in creating a new world?

What… Excuse me.

Lord Hiruko appeared
before me in many forms.

I learned about the existence of the gods,

and that Lord Hiruko
had risen in revolt against them.

Now, I will place the talisman
on you for ten minutes.

I understand.

Do you believe me now?

What do you want my help with?

Search for the locations
of the gods living in this world.

Search and then what?

We will erase all gods.

If we erase a god named
Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami,

the other gods will disappear in turn.

Of course, that includes me.

After that,

I will entrust the world
to superior humans,

much like yourself.

I spied on communications data

and used AI to pin down individuals
who were likely to be gods.

Lord Hiruko erased their memories
and spirited them away.

It was after possessing Hiroka Ootsuki
and seeing her memories

that Lord Hiruko grasped
the structure of AARO.

Under orders from Lord Hiruko,

I spied on all of you and tracked down
Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto.

Lord Hiruko possessed Fuma Touda,
lured her out, and erased her memories.

I was left in charge of
everything that followed.

I searched for a mermaid's remains

and conducted research
into an immortality drug,

while scouting out superior individuals
as candidates for the new gods.

Why did you make the immortality drug?

It will soon become clear.

Thank you for waiting.

These three are part of the current gods.

The time has come to eliminate them all

and for us to take our place
as the new gods!

As you know, the selection has begun

and a great number of people
have been taking their own lives.

I am sure it must pain your hearts.

But know this…

In every era, revolutions come
at the cost of great blood.

Now is the time to endure.

What did you do?

I simply activated a system I created.

While they are using
my company's social media platform,

it will play a high-frequency sound
that drives them to suicide.

Humans exposed to it
for a prolonged period

will fall into depression
and commit suicide.

The serial suicides in Otemachi
were a proof-of-concept experiment.

It proved to be effective then,
and is now exceeding our expectations.

Over 200,000 people
have already been purged nationwide.

All of them were mindless humans
that looked at social media all day.

From now on, idiots blinded by fear
and manipulated by rumors

will flock even further to social media.

The selection… No…

The purification
will accelerate as it proceeds.

How could you?

This is only the beginning.

We will build a society

where the chosen ones will guide
the ignorant masses.

We have finally acquired

the final piece of the puzzle
required for that world.

The power of immortality.

Human science has already
surpassed the capabilities of gods.

We only need enough time
to be able to rival gods.

We will become new gods
using the power of immortality.

Let us build a bright future together!

It's time.

Lord Hiruko will now join us.

This is the moment
we bid farewell to the old gods.

So you were Lord Hiruko?

Isn't she…

It can't be.

Lord Hiruko!

Lord Hiruko!

-Lord Hiruko!
-Lord Hiruko!

Hiruko is a god that appears in the
ancient records and chronicles of Japan.

In the beginning, the very land of Japan
and the gods that protect it were birthed

by a pair of married deities,
Izanami and Izanagi.

Their first child was Hiruko.

But Hiruko was abandoned by its parents
and drifted out to sea on a reed boat.

Hiruko is a tragic god.

After being abandoned,

I continued to live
while resenting the other gods.

But finally, the time has come for me
to step into the open.

It is thanks to the help
of everyone gathered here.

I thank you.

-Lord Hiruko.
-Lord Hiruko!

From now on, you will be the new gods.

This is the first step
towards that future.

New genesis.

-New genesis.
-New genesis.

The new gods have just been born.

Congratulations.

Lord Hiruko,

please erase the wicked gods
with the Separation Ritual.

-Mr. Okitama!
-Stop!

I won't let you kill Okitama!

-Serita!
-Here you go!

Mr. Serita--

Come with me.

A talisman?

Lord Hiruko is somewhere else?

Yes.

But why?

I restored the immortality drug
in order to become a new god

and gathered all of these new gods!

That's right. We all did our part.

I gave a huge fortune!

Please show yourself.

This is exactly why!

You refuse to know your place.

You've all disappointed me.

You too are part of the selection.

What are you saying?

You said you'd entrust the new world to--

The poison in the capsule
seems to have taken effect.

You used me.

Did you plan to do this from the start?

No.

You simply weren't qualified
to become a god.

No.

I am a god.

I will become Hiruko!

Now, let us go.

It seems this body
has outlived its usefulness.

Don't resist.

I doubt you want to see
your friends being shot to death.

Mr. Ukino.

How did you find this place
without Sarutabiko?

Failing to erase her back then
was your biggest mistake.

So it was Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto.

I had her find this place using her power.

I had the Cabinet Secretariat
immobilize AARO's operations.

We happen to have
a master of disguise on our side.

In addition, the members of the
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office

consist of more than just us.

How many of your side died again?

You Tokyo folk have been
having a rough time, huh?

Kagutsuchi.

Kyoto's taking action?

Head of the All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office's Kyoto headquarters.

The name's Katsumi Hino.

This here's our combatant, Mitsuo Owada.

The sea god, Owatatsumi.

OWATATSUMI-NO-KAMI

You alright, Princess?

Dad.

You little shits.

You crossed one line too many.

I'm turning you all into pickled fish.

Who wants to go first?

Do it.

Take this!

Take this! And this!

Here, have some more!

Koby.

Here, a painkiller.

Did you tell Kyoto about my true identity?

It was an emergency.

Keeping something this big
a secret ain't a good call.

You violated protocol.

Our branch chief Amadera was fuming.

I hear you want to off
Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami.

From now on, all the gods
will protect him and go after you.

You've got no chance.

Give up and show yourself.

It's not over yet.

Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami.

Come to the AARO building by yourself.

Ms. Amano!

Koyumecchi.

I'll come at once.

Make sure you come alone.

I will kill her if you do not comply.

We'll go.

I'll go alone.

It's a trap!

If you go, all the gods will be erased.

If I don't go, Ms. Amano will die.

She's a human.

You want to put all the gods
in danger for just one human?

How stupid are you--

She's still our head.

She's one of us.

Chief Ukino, you okay with this?

Letting a deputy and a bunch
of irregular employees run amok?

Oh, my.

This is a serious act of rebellion.

You prepared for the consequences?

Don't think too lightly
of our office head and Okitama.

The two of them will fulfill
their duty and capture Hiruko.

We'll be restraining all of you.

I'll let you know in advance that we have
permission to end your current lives,

depending on the situation.

Koby, give me the God's Blessing drug.

But it's too taxing.

I just need five minutes.

GOD'S BLESSING

Don't think I'll show any mercy
just because you used to be my daughter!

I care more about my friends now
than my father from ancient history!

I leave Ms. Amano to you.

You really think you can stop us
with this collection of weaklings?

That's Susanoo's son for you.

Been hiding your true colors?

Take care.

I will.

HI-NO-KAGUTSUCHI-NO-KAMI

Mr. Okitama!

He's being possessed with a talisman!

Put that talisman on yourself.

I will possess you
and take you to where I am.

As two gods shrouded in mystery,
it will be a historic meeting.

You are not a god.

When I learned that Hiruko was after me,
I started to question it.

Hiruko, being a god,
would disappear along with me.

I started to wonder
if Hiruko was actually human.

The problem was,
Hiruko could use the Separation Ritual.

In all of history,
there is only one human…

who achieved that.

En-no-Ozunu.

He acquired supernatural powers
through strict training.

He had demon disciples
that he could freely manipulate.

There are many such legends.

But Ozunu lived during the Asuka period.

He couldn't be alive today.

But then I met Yaobikuni,
and my preconceptions were overturned.

You can't mean…

If Ozunu gained immortality
by eating mermaid flesh,

he could still be alive today.

That's all pointless speculation.

You've never even met me.

I'm meeting you right now.

Mr. Naobi,

I used Inugami's cursed hair on you.

After Hiruko found out that I was
Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami,

I sensed a change
in the malice coming from you,

so I decided to look into it.

Those cursed by Inugami
end up eating themselves to death.

However, the curse doesn't work on people
who become immortal by eating a mermaid.

And since you're standing here just fine,

it follows that you have
the power of immortality.

You're not being possessed by anyone.

You are Hiruko.

No.

You are a ghost from the Asuka period
masquerading as the god Hiruko.

You are En-no-Ozunu.

Indeed.

I am Hiruko.

That's a familiar name.

Long ago, I was called En-no-Ozunu.

Why would you erase the gods?

Even the power of immortality
has its limits, you see.

I felt the end of my life drawing near.

And I just couldn't bear
to leave this world as it is.

The humans of yore held gratitude
for all things and lived earnest lives.

But then, as science progressed,
they fell prey to hubris.

By the time the internet and social media
came around, they were beyond saving.

Humans grew weak in character,
began to covet endless lies,

and grew conceited,
believing themselves to be all-knowing.

At this point,

they've stooped down to being the most
thoughtless creatures on this planet.

It's because the gods have
spoiled humans for far too long.

That's why I decided to erase you.

And after sending all gods to Yomi,
I will bring about a new genesis as Hiruko

until my life withers away.

What's with that crap?

We're doing the best we can
within the short lives we have.

Don't give me that crap just because
you're scared of your life running out!

Speaking for the humans, are you?

You've seen humans change over the ages.

I'm sure you understand how I feel.

Not in the least.

You yourself are more arrogant
than the humans you speak of.

Then what will you do?

Will you leave humans
to their own devices?

I will continue to watch over them.

Cut the crap!

What reason is there
to protect humans anymore?

There isn't.

Nor any value.

Then why?

Because I am a god.

No matter how foolish they might be,
we cannot escape our duty to protect them.

However many times they betray us,

we have no choice
but to continue believing in them.

It would seem we stand at odds.

The two of us.

Mr. Okitama!

Did you think
your combat ability would help you?

Ms. Amano!

Mr. Okitama!

Let me tell you what you wish to know.

You wondered if I could restore
Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto.

I cannot.

It's because the one
who erased her memories

wasn't me.

It's here.

Sarutabiko should be here,
according to the statement.

Ms. Amano was wary
of the possessed Touda from the start.

She countered his attack
and defeated Touda.

Who's controlling him?

Stop hiding and show yourself.

I'd expect no less from the head of AARO,

Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto.

Are you Hiruko?

Why spirit away gods?

Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami.

I'm going around questioning the gods
in order to learn who that is.

So your real aim is
to erase all the gods--

Since you have your summoning ability,

I'm sure you know.

No one knows who
Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami is.

If I possess you with a talisman,
I can see your memories.

It's pointless to hide it.

It's a divine arrowhead.

The bleeding can't be stopped.

And now,

I can finally learn the true identity
of Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami.

I won't let you.

I promised I'd protect him.

Forget.

She did it…

herself?

Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto
gave her life for you.

If it ever comes to that,
I'll protect you from Hiruko.

By the way…

The reason she saved you

was probably rooted
in her affection for you.

When I possessed her,
I could sense her feelings for--

Enough!

Hold on to your despair as you perish.

Mr. Okitama!

This marks the end of the gods.

Mr. Okitama!

Mr. Okitama!

Mr. Okitama!

For…

Don't move.

Inspector Aranami.

He's Hiruko.

No! Mr. Naobi is Hiruko!

I am Hiruko.

I killed Hiroka Ootsuki.

That's a lie!
He's being controlled by Hiruko!

Inspector Aranami, arrest him now.

All the members of AARO
are cultists who think they're gods--

Why?

I don't believe in them being gods.

But if they say Ootsuki was a god,

I can believe that.

You bastard!

You lowly human!

How dare you get in my way?

Mr. Aranami!

Please come, Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami.

Please come, Ame-no-Iwatonowake-no-Kami!

Mr. Okitama!

Please come!

Mr. Okitama!

Mr. Okitama!

You have people
you care about too, don't you?

I feel like capturing Hiruko is my duty.

If it ever comes to that,
I'll protect you from Hiruko.

Make sure you come back.

Don't underestimate humans, jerk.

Mr. Okitama?

You've fulfilled your duty as our head.

It's our victory.

Yes.

I heard the Summoning Bell.

But…

I know.

I'm still human.

I couldn't restore you.

I'm so sorry.

The government held
an emergency press conference

and announced that the mass suicides
were caused by a social media platform

which generates a high-frequency sound--

…immediately turn off your smartphones.

The owner of the platform,
Themis Holdings, is being--

The shocking series
of incidents involving Hiruko

are alleged to have been caused

by Tadashi Kotobuki and a cult
formed around him by his many supporters.

Ms. Ninomiya?

Why did you betray the police
and join the cult?

It was a warning from me
to the gods that have spoiled humans.

Humans will forget
their mistakes soon enough.

Unless this rotten world
is changed at its core,

another Hiruko will appear
sooner or later.

If he's a human,
we'll judge him with our own institutions.

The gods have agreed to that after
a discussion with Prime Minister Tsuruoka.

The only condition is that people who know
about gods have their memories erased.

After they disappear,
do gods watch over people from somewhere?

Trying to understand everything
is a sign of hubris.

Don't put on airs.

We don't know either.

But if you make a wish and pray to them…

it might just reach them.

Now then, if you'll allow me.

Wait.

There's a place I want to visit
while I remember.

ENSHRINED DEITY: OGETSUHIME-NO-KAMI

It's ready!

Thank you for the meal!

It's great.

Your pizza's the best, Mr. Ukino.

The pepperoni's really good.

It's homemade!

I got roasted sweet potatoes.

Koyumecchi loves these.

-Roasted sweet potatoes with pizza though?
-Thank you.

Are your arms okay now?

I had Susanoo fix them.

What?

A neighbor called the police,
and he's now gonna live in a foster home.

Really?

I'm so glad.

I'm sure things will still be tough,
but there are humans who will help.

Things will work out.

You can't count on humans.

You say that now,

but remind me again why
Inspector Aranami came to help.

You're the one who called him, right?

-You snitched?
-I took a page from Ms. Amano's book.

If you find yourself alone again,

you can rely on humans
like you did this time.

Can we wrap things up already?

I have a train to catch.

The branch chiefs made their decision.

Since it's clear she can't go back to
being a god, her memories must be erased.

I have practice at MEC
from tomorrow, so I need to go too.

Oh, put the roasted potatoes in my bag.

It was only for a short while, but…

No, that's not it.

Thank you for looking after me
for a very long time.

You don't have to look so gloomy.

It's a shame I'll forget about all of you,

but I'm pretty happy
with my life as a human.

From now on,

I'll live as a human that can be of help
to people around me.

Humans may have
their fair share of faults,

but there are lots of them
that are trying to live earnestly.

Please continue to watch over us,
as you have been.

We're all in your care.

I'll stand witness
and report to Chief Amadera.

Well then, if you would.

Okay.

Sorry.

For…

…get.
