Original subtitles

Your brother, Rika Honjo, was taken captive by the enemy,

and we've since lost their trail.

I'm so sorry.

It's fine.

Thank you for telling me, Yamanami.

Rika…

It can't be! I'm so pissed off!

I was finally getting closer to Rika, but now he's farther away.

What is this?

What is this world?

I just wanted to see my big brother.

I want to see my brother.

Rika!

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but that doesn't matter.

I'm going to find my brother.

ORIGINAL WORK BY TSUINA MIURA ILLUSTRATED BY TAKAHIRO OBA

"I've Cast Off My Humanity, But That's Fine."

I think I just heard a faint noise.

It sounded like a girl screaming.

I'm positive that voice was…

The number you are calling cannot be…

It's not connecting!

Something happened to Honjo!

Oh, it's striped.

Excuse me… Ms. Mayuko?

I'm an idiot.

I should've gone to get Honjo.

Taking the power of the mask made me forget.

I forgot how terrifying this world is!

Honjo, please be all right!

If you're not, why was I saved by you?

Why am I even alive?

Which way is it?

Honjo!

Who was that?

I'm sorry.

Now isn't a good time.

I'm going to see my brother.

My precious brother.

My beloved…

Mayuko?

Mayuko?

Mayuko!

I heard her!

Honjo is this way!

A Mask?

What is that weapon?

I shouldn't be on a rope bridge!

Jeez, yet another high school girl that needs looking after.

A grenade launcher? Where do they get those pesky weapons?

If he fires rapidly, it'll be hard to hit all the shells.

And so…

What?

Jeez, what a drag.

I heard a fool out here running their loud mouth off.

Are you one of those God Candidates?

If that's the case…

What a drag.

-I need to kill Sniper Mask. -So talkative.

All for that person.

"That person?"

Is he allied with the ones who put this mask on me?

Oh, well.

If that old rifle is all he's got, I can repel him just fine.

Hey, Grenade Launcher Mask, fire at that high school girl again.

If she's another God Candidate, we have to ask about the Railgun,

but I'm too lazy, so just kill her.

Fire that damn thing!

Damn. I guess I'll have to try.

Not sure if I can hit all the shells.

I have no choice but to use the Railgun now!

Even if they might find out I'm the one controlling it.

Who is that?

When did they show up?

From above? Who's there?

Those panties are…

Honjo!

Mayuko, I see that you're safe.

That's a relief.

And thank you.

I was somehow able to recollect myself thanks to you calling out to me.

Oh, I see.

I'm sure I heard the voice from further away.

How is she here already?

That's way too fast.

The enemy is still alive.

I'll use the other gun too.

But that gun…

You said it was too heavy to use!

It's all right.

Because right now, I'm Super Yuri!

What?

Hey, Grenade, how long are you going to nap, you worthless heap?

If you're alive, get the hell up, or I'll kill you!

Fire before you get shot this time.

Kill them!

Kill them all!

Damn, this sucks!

Only sucky things ever happen to me!

But that person said

if we kill all the noisy ones, nothing would suck anymore!

Everything…

as that person wishes it to be!

He shot randomly?

Honjo, this way!

Honjo?

A self-strengthening ability.

This is incredible.

It's not just power

but dexterity and something like brain processing power too.

If I can make good use of this ability, I can protect everyone.

It's not like the other God Candidate powers,

but it's good enough for me!

What is this crap?

I know Honjo has a great talent for shooting

and that she has grown with incredible vigor,

but does that make something like this possible?

There's no mistaking it.

Yuri Honjo has become a God Candidate.

Sorry, Rika.

I can't come and see you right away.

I have to prioritize my precious friends now.

I know you'll understand, Rika.

But it's not like I've given up.

I'll come and find you someday, with Mayuko by my side!

What was that? She--

What?

Oh, crap!

Sniper…

Sniper Mask?

What?

Didn't Honjo notice?

Calm down, Honjo!

To put it simply, Sniper Mask is our ally at the moment.

What?

The other one is lying down?

What should I do now?

This is so damn annoying!

If that hag Kusakabe sees me like this, she'll laugh at me forever.

My, oh, my, Dagger Mask, just look at you!

You look like a cockroach!

No choice but to grovel and run like this here.

No, fleeing without getting anything done would be bad too.

It's a drag, but I've got to make a report and get permission.

Invoking that person's wrath is much scarier than just dying.

THAT PERSON

Oh, it's me, Dagger.

Yes, hello. State your business.

Hello!

Well, you see…

I think…

I'm going to die in a moment.

Reporting in. The enemy's weapon is…

That was terrifying.

I wanted to be certain, but maybe I should have just reflected his bullets.

All will go as you desire.

More importantly, I'm curious what this guy was saying at the end.

So, their weapon is a rifle?

Oh, I see.

But I think I'm still scared of Sniper Mask.

If he becomes our enemy again,

my new strength still might not be enough.

Now it's your turn to talk, Honjo.

What in the world happened while I was unconscious?

Where did you get your power?

What?

Hey?

Mayuko!

I put on a Mouthless Mask!

It was scary, but I put it on!

I'm sorry. I can't explain it very well.

-But you're all right. -Honjo!

I've also acquired some strength.

Now I can be with you again!

Forever.

Together forever.

Honjo, I can't breathe!

Hey, Honjo!

How do you do, Ms. Yuri Honjo?

What?

My name is Kuon Shinzaki.

Have you heard about me from Ms. Mayuko?

I've been informed, Ms. Kuon Shinzaki.

Nice to meet you, and thank you for saving Mayuko!

What is this?

With direct contact, I can feel it very clearly.

You're a God Candidate too.

To begin, there is something I must discuss with you.

Mr. Mask…

Mr. Sniper Mask gave me a message for you.

From Sniper Mask?

Yes.

First…

We just fought a conspicuous battle, so everyone should vacate immediately.

And also…

If Yuri Honjo hasn't activated the ability to not be attacked by Masks,

it's best if I keep a certain degree of distance.

For now, you should go to their side and stay there.

Don't make that face.

I won't run off while we're apart.

Sniper Mask said something like that?

If he has that level of awareness, what about his memories?

No, there are still many uncertainties in his memories.

He seems to be suffering greatly.

If only my power as a God Candidate were greater,

then I would have been able to save him.

My goal is to end this realm peacefully.

I'll use my new power for that purpose.

What is your goal?

Well, I'm the same as you, Ms. Yuri.

I desire peace.

And to expand on that further…

Well, I…

I want to save the person precious to me!

A precious person?

So she's like me?

Shinzaki… No, Kuon!

I'll trust in you!

Let's do our best!

Thank you very much!

I'm still a novice, but I will do my very best!

Shinzaki, didn't you say we need to get moving soon?

By my calculations, we don't have time to be doing this all damn day.

How very right you are.

Mayuko, why are you so upset?

Oh, would you prefer if I called you "Mayuko Dear"?

It's not like that!

Just use the name you've been using for me.

Oh, then what about "Mayu" or "Mayu-Mayu"?

Listen to what I'm saying!

Hey, Mr. Swimmer Mask.

Do you remember your age?

I see.

Then I'll speak politely just in case.

So is this building your headquarters where your controller is located?

I hope they're a reasonable person.

It's this guy?

He looks pretty normal.

Welcome, my hostage.

I am the God Candidate who summoned you here.

My name is Mamoru Aikawa.

What's yours?

-I'm Rika Honjo. -What?

The "ri" in "theory" and the "ka" in "flame."

That's my name.

Rika… Honjo?

"Rika," is it?

What?

No, I'm sorry.

It's so rude of me to laugh at someone's name.

You have such a smart, handsome face, yet your name is "Rika."

I'm sorry, I really am.

It's been a while since someone made this much fun of my name.

So what is it you want?

My desire is simple subordination of the weak.

I want to achieve this ideal and bring peace to the world.

I see.

You must have had the thought at least once before.

Only the superior live on, while the inferior should die.

Anyone could think it, but actualizing it is impossible.

I've lived for 26 years while holding this mindset.

But a chance has come our way.

If you become God in this realm,

you can make any ideal a reality in our original world.

What a load of bull.

He's not normal. He's a small fry.

I'm pissed off.

You call that "peace"?

You just want to play God.

I should be able to handle this guy on my own, right?

Should I talk him out of it or find an opening to kill him?

Rika.

I brought you here because I thought an extraordinary person like you

would agree with me and cooperate with my plans.

With Masks alone, you run into a lot of inconveniences.

Having human conspirators would be a great help.

What do you say? I don't think it's a bad deal.

Let me think it through a bit.

But I will say that I understand your desire for peace.

I don't think your ideal is wrong either.

That much I can tell you.

I'll compliment him to drop his guard.

I knew it.

You are not some pedestrian who loses out to emotion.

If you were that kind of person…

I was going to have you killed, slowly.

All will proceed as Master Ai desires.

No quick deaths.

Absolutely not.

I want you to enjoy the happiness or the release I give you when you die.

Mr. Aikawa, I want to ask you one question.

What's the maximum number of Masks you can control with your ability?

Thirty Masks.

Thanks to you people, my number of Masks has gone down a bit.

This guy might be a piece of shit,

but his ability and determination are real.

What a troublesome opponent.

I can't take him lightly.

Now it's almost time.

Rika, come with me to the roof.

The roof?

Someone must have noticed that there is no God in our world.

That's why we were summoned to this system for birthing God.

Among the humans that were summoned, God will be crowned.

And by that God's power, the world will be lead down the right way.

The important thing is that

the ones summoned to this realm are the chosen ones.

This guy is just full of openings.

If I kill him here and now…

No.

This Volleyball Mask must be pretty strong.

I'll be killed without a weapon.

I am a normal human.

And a chance to become God has arisen for this normal human.

I can become an entity that can remake the world as I see fit.

Now I'm sure you know why we came up here.

The helicopter?

Yes, great answer.

It was clear and even had a dramatic pause.

But Mr. Aikawa, that helicopter is for escaping this realm.

How is it relevant to you, who wants to become a Perfect God?

Through my research, I've established a certain truth.

To become a Perfect God, one must arrive at that tower.

However, it doesn't have a bridge, so it can't be reached easily.

How do we reach it?

I'm think the answer is that helicopter.

Yuri's helicopter usurpation plan.

Who would've guessed it was right?

All of the mysteries and accidents in this realm

are trials for the sake of choosing one worthy of God.

Don't get killed by killer Masks,

endure the temptation of suicide,

and don't delude yourself into thinking it's one big escape room.

One who has overcome these trials is fit to become a Perfect God!

I have cleared most of them!

I must really be the one to correct the world!

I'm correct about everything!

Oh, sorry. I got carried away.

We must remain calm.

The helicopter isn't the only key to becoming God.

We need to know where we will land to decide our next steps.

He talks a lot,

but he knows he's small, and he's careful and self-aware.

It might be hard for the honest Yoshida to make an opening in this guy.

But Yuri and Mayuko, who he's unaware of, might be able to do something.

Damn.

All I do is rely on my little sister. I can't do anything as her older brother.

I'm pitiful.

If only I had more power!

Kidnapped?

So you're saying you have no idea what's happening to your brother?

Yes, but let's not worry about it.

My big brother is super strong, so he'll pull through.

Of course, I'm going to worry.

We barely even know anything about the enemy that shot at us.

That Swimmer Mask that attacked her big brother

was undoubtedly the Mask that attacked Sniper Mask.

Kuon, did something happen?

Oh, it's nothing.

That's right, Yuri. There's something I wanted to ask you.

Yes? What is it?

Well, were your older brother and Mr. Sniper Mask

perhaps friends in the…

What is that noise?

Mayuko, it looks like it has come.

Yes, that brings back memories.

The helicopter.

The helicopter usurpation plan.

As I am now, I have the power to pull it off.

It's leaving already!

Hey, there it is!

It's headed here?

All hands, prepare for combat.

It can't be. In a place like this?

The Angry Mask Yuri mentioned!

Not yet?

That Angry Mask's words…

-What in the… -All right.

I expected as much.

And now those expectations have turned into certainty.

They're really aware of the actions and locations of the God Candidates,

and they're trying to prevent the end of the realm.

In other words, they want to stop the birth of a Perfect God.

They themselves are the greatest obstacle to becoming a Perfect God.
