What is living?
Living is continuing to make choices What is living? Living is enjoying oneself
Living is continuing to make choices Living is expressing one's will Living is enjoying oneself
Living is continuing to search Living is eating Living is continuing to fight
Living is being lost
Living is preparing oneself
What is living?
Yamato, I'll keep my promise.
Promise?
That I'll beat you and have audience with Polaris!
It seems you have no more hesitation... Hibiki.
Byakko!
Cerberus.
Sunday of Realization - II
Anger?
What is this anger of yours?
You've killed far too many people!
That is your reason for judging me? Pitiful.
If someone hadn't done this, no one would have survived.
One as intelligent as you should be able to fathom my reasoning.
I know. I get what you're saying...
But there's no way I can accept it!
I can't let someone go free if they would sacrifice
others because it "can't be helped"!
How sentimental.
That's right. Because I'm human!
So I'm not human?
Good, Hibiki.
You are now as powerful as me.
That's why I can stop you!
Why do you think you were granted such power?
Truly, it is an ability you were born with.
But think about it:
What is ability?
You and I, and the others who lagged behind,
were chosen by Polaris from the start.
We're pawns.
One could say our current situation is God's contrivance...
But that God was not almighty, but a broken system.
Who shall remain?
It seems that alone was left to humanity.
I know not the criteria for selection.
It is, after all, the actions of a broken system.
Even Alcor...
Even he was bound to fall prey to the wheels of fate.
Because the system is at fault?
Or he himself was broken?
There's no way to know that now.
You knew that much?
It's conjecture.
And observing God's reasoning changes nothing.
I shall survive, use Polaris's power and rewrite the world.
That is all!
Yamato. You would rewrite all the lives...
all the existing emotions of the previous world?
That's right.
True, if you could remake everything,
you might be able to create a splendid world.
It's the preferred evolution.
But if it's forced on us, it's not our world at all.
The world that our friends...
that Daichi and the others wanted to protect
was the world that we lived in!
Otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered, have struggled,
have anguished so much!
To rewrite order,
to make the world we lived in have never existed...
Yamato, isn't that the same as voluntarily choosing death?
Live Die
Voluntary... death?
That choice is far too sad.
That's why you'll stop me?
Yes.
Hibiki... What is living?
It's continuing to make choices.
It's continuing to think.
That's how the world goes on into the future.
Those continual, mistaken choices have led
to this current world.
Yes, but... That's the world we've lived in.
You're saying you'll change that,
but unless it's changed through the wills of us all...
People will surely be even more unhappy.
How naïve.
But I've survived up till today, and that's my will.
Cerberus.
Our world is like a terminal cancer.
Saying you'll change things through individual will
is the rambling of a peace-loving fool.
Why don't you understand it's too late for humanity?!
Even so, was this something YOU had to do?
That's right. If I hadn't done it...
If I hadn't taken control,
no one would have been able to survive up to this day.
Such is the responsibility of those born with power.
Whether such is desired or not is irrelevant.
I didn't want this power.
Yamato.
This grave responsibility....
It's hardly difficult.
Has no one lent you a helping hand?
Hand?
Unnecessary. It has no meaning.
It DOES have meaning!
Living alone is... It's sad, right?
You are weak.
It's fine to be weak. It lets us work together!
As a rule, humans are alone.
If so...
If so, why did you come all the way to Nagoya to help me?!
You were a pawn, needed for my plan.
I gave you the battle experiences to become such.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Why did you get my dead face clip, which should only have gone to my friends?!
A human with no heart shouldn't be able to be a friend.
"Friend"? What utter nonsense!
Yamato!
I have to do this.
Yamato, that's enough.
Hibiki.
It's enough, right?
You don't have to use supernatural powers and change things.
My friend is trying to do something wrong.
I have to stop him. Just stop!
Let's fix this. Then...
let's be friends again.
Friends?
That's right. No more fighting.
We'll just be normal friends.
Yamato?
You're interesting.
You're a very strange person yourself.
Perhaps I should have looked for you sooner.
Yamato, no!
I cannot stop now.
If I were one who could change his choices,
I wouldn't be standing here today.
I shall preserve my dignity.
If you say that I am a friend then, Hibiki...
You will kill me.
Stop it!
There's no reason for us to fight!
Come!
Nebiros! Zao Gongeng!
You all do not fully utilize the demon-summoning app.
What's that?
Demonic fusion.
Satan.
Byakko!
It's seems you've lost the dragon's protection.
Even you couldn't stop me, eh?
Farewell, Hibiki.
What's that?! That demon?
Daichi.
A friend's demon has arrived.
What does this mean?
Nitta... Everyone!
It can't be. It's impossible!
It's not impossible at all.
Everyone was with me.
How could demons of the dead arrive?
It's inconceivable!
Thank you.
I'll be using your demons, everyone.
Berserk! Lugh!
Lorelei! Jack Frost!
Zochoten! Purple Mirror!
Suzaku! Pallas Athena!
Arioch! Byakko!
The Tyrant, Loki. The Angel, Metatron!
Loki! Metatron!
What's that?
Lucifer!
Yamato!
Hibiki!
It can't be right
for one person to force change on the world.
I wish everyone
could've genuinely thought about the future, like you.
Yamato. That's enough.
You don't have to shoulder everything alone.
To think...
You really would stop me.
I promised, didn't I?
I'm sure we'll meet again.
Polaris.
My wish is...

Hibiki Kuze
Hibiki!
Daichi.
You waiting long? Sorry 'bout that.
It's okay.
Shibuya Station
Hibiki, you're goin' to college, right?
That's why you spend Sundays taking practice tests.
For now, I guess.
I can't think of anything else to do.
Sounds like you.
Is it enough?
Daichi, if you get into college, what will you do then?
Well, find somethin' I wanna do!
What do you want to do?
Goin' on dates, on trips...
And drives! I just got my license.
You want to play around.
Work is for losers.
Really?
Well, it's like... I'm just so nervous!
I can't really do anything.
Yeah, true.
Still, things will work out somehow.
Whoa. That's unusually optimistic for you, Hibiki.
Really?
Well, it's because you can study.
You're not anxious at all, are you?
You have to try harder, Daichi.
Wanna do another study session?
Test-taking just finished.
Let's quit talking about study for a while.
Oh, that's right.
There's something I wanted to show you.
Well, wanna see?
What is it?
Lend me your phone. Hold on.
Ta-daa!
Nicaea Dead Face Delivery New Members Register Here
"Nicaea"?
Yes, Nicaea!
It's a secret but popular "dead face" site!
New Members Register Here
Dead face?
It's a joke site that shows a video telling you the
instant your friend dies.
Name Entry
Is that so?
Looks interesting.
And then, the kicker is so funny that... Huh?
What?
There!
That's Io Nitta from Class C!
Who's that? A friend?
No. But I sure wanna be her friend...
Looks like she's coming home from a practice exam.
She's cute, huh?
Yeah. Well, she's YOUR type.
What the heck? You're right, but still...
Say, are you coming back from the practice exam, too?
Dude, why are you callin' out to her?!
Well, you said you wanted to be friends with her.
My heart isn't ready!
Daichi, your attention-grabber was okay.
I ain't grabbin'!
I was startled when you suddenly called out to me.
Uh, we're not flirting or anything. Not flirting.
But YOU'RE flirting. Right, Daichi?
No, I'm not!
So long as it's as a friend...
Nitta, you're pretty friendly, huh?
I'm actually quite shy.
Huh? You sure don't seem like it.
Well, the two of you don't seem threatening.
Uh, is it okay to get happy?
What the heck, Hibiki?
Why're you so quiet?
Well, it just seems like fun.
Huh? Hibiki, are you crying?
Why am I crying?
You okay? You feelin' bad?
Should I go buy some water?
It's nothing. Just, for some reason...
I'm happy.
Oh, looks like a video has already arrived from Nicaea.
Huh? You're doing Nicaea?
You, too?
A friend invited me.
It sure is popular, huh?
Nicaea Dead Face Delivery You Have a Video
Let's see...
Hibiki Kuze! He gets hit by a truck!
Hibiki, you're dead!
A tasteless site, isn't it?
Apologies for the wait.
The train bound of Oshiage will soon arrive at Track 2.
Please stand back and wait behind the yellow line.
I...
What is it?
Sure enough, are you feelin' bad?
Oh. So that's it.
Hey, Hibiki!
My wish... is to get a chance to fix things.
Sure enough, humans are immature, like Yamato said.
That's why we have to change.
But a way
where one person has to shoulder sadness can't be right.
I...
I remember those seven days.
I know how humanity is eliminated.
If I do nothing, humanity will meet the same tragedy.
That's why humans... have to change.
Not by being forced to, but slowly, through everyone's will.
If we do that, surely... there's hope!
An interview? Beats me.
Oh, the camera's this way?
My job's to get the gold medal!
Hinako! What do you mean, you're leaving?
I wanna see how popular my dance can get.
I'll think about takin' over the house when I get back.
Oh, excellent work.
Good work.
Mom!
Hey! It's dangerous to go out on your own.
I told wait till I came for you, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
Jeez...
Well, let's go home.
Yeah.
You're hungry, huh?
Yeah!
Hey, Jungo!
Why didn't you come see me?
It was the competition!
I had to work.
You did well.
Have some chawanmushi.
My beloved is getting out of the hospital today.
Of course I'd come for her.
I'm sorry.
I thought you were someone suspicious.
Man, that's rough!
Joe?
You seem better.
This is the log of the gang's widespread dealings, huh?
That was a dangerous piece of work!
Thank you.
With this, we can corner the politician
s that have been sticking with them.
Mr. Detective, you don't have to act so reckless all on your own.
It's my nature.
I can't turn a blind eye to those who misuse power.
If no one will do anything, I have to do it myself.
If someone start doing the right thing, others will follow.
Sakocchi?
Good work. Wanna go for drinks this weekend? Sako
What's with you?
Please let me in.
There's something I need to confirm!
Confirm what, exactly?
I have to see Yamato Hotsuin.
Hotsuin? The heck?
It would be useless to explain.
Please let me through.
Yamato.
Mr. Yamato? You know this man?
No. I have no friends.
Thank goodness. Yamato!
It's a good day.
Sir?
Don't worry.
It's just my state of mind.
I've watched over humanity for a long time.
It seems I'm no longer necessary.
I'm happy... and maybe sad as well.
Humanity has shown its will.
Living is... anxiety. And pain.
It's continuing to think, continuing to choose.
That's right, Hibiki.
I'm sure humanity can head toward the right direction.
Because humans can still cause miracles.
We'll live.
