On the morning of a beautiful sunny day
I was waiting at the place we promised to meet
I stood there watching the laughing children
As I patiently waited for you to come
I watched a perfect arc as a ball was being thrown
And it flew right before my eyes
It was just an ordinary sight to me
Now, if you were just with me
As this world kept turning slowly
But it seemed like it was leaving only me behind
The clouds just wouldn't hide me
It was a Sunday where the sun seemed to hurt more than usual
I'm going to go.
What do you want for dinner tonight?
Anything is fine. I'll leave it to you.
All right, then we'll have cooked mackerel.
Episode 5: The Angel's Game
Have you noticed we've been getting a lot of support jobs with the...
Self-Defense Force lately, Mr. Tamai?
Maybe this is all part of some big military restructuring.
Who knows?
We started doing these jobs when you came in, right, Mr. Tamai?
Why did you leave the Self-Defense Force? Were you scouted?
Nothing so pleasant...
I originally just wanted to do transport work.
I'm doing this because the boss likes it. Why'd you leave, Ono?
I just simply never got used to the concept of a chain of command.
But I wanted to fly a fighter,
and if Motoki wasn't doing this kind of work, then I never would have quit.
It's all thanks to you, Mr. Tamai.
Thank the boss.
Then, why did you join the Self-Defense Force in the first place?
Did being in the JSDF rub you the wrong way?
No, it was a lot of fun.
Then why...
Ah, who cares? It's ancient history. More importantly, Ono, check your six.
Oh, crap!
The boss catches you leaving trails like that,
she's going to take you off these support missions.
And you won't even go near the Flanker.
Looks like the boss is definitely buying one.
It'll be Motoki Airfield's main aircraft.
Oh, baby! I want to pilot that!
I'm so glad I'm alive...
A little too excited.
Just like Sudo said. This will be a perfect aerial battle simulation.
Huh? Something's behind me...
Ono! Calm down! Keep flying! Don't make any sudden shifts!
Stay calm!
Okay...
What is that... an angel?
What is... this strange feeling...
Isn't it affected by the air? Or maybe it's denser than it looks...
How is it flying? We're doing almost 400 knots...
Japanese?
Morse Code!
Le... t's ... pl... ay...
What the... That's ... an M61!
Ono, dive left! Use the afterburners! We're running for it!
Ono, can you see it!
I see it. Two miles behind us!
Mach 1 .4... We must be safe now.
But... why do I get such a bad feeling...
In front?
Ono! That thing's in front of us now!
No way...
Tokyo Control! This is Ebisu C!
We are under attack by an unidentified flying object!
Ono!
Engines dead? Air resistance... zero? What is this?
There's no air? How...
No time to think about that now. It's stalled... I'm falling.
It's back!
That's my girl... now let's get out of here!
Ono, I hope you ejected... Where is that thing...
What... Why am I crying?
No, I've felt like this... before...
What? It's attacking again? What do I do? I'm not armed...
Looks like I can't shake it... So that leaves...
It's the only way!
The 04's wings are as thin as a razor!
A 20mm bullet?
Shiina...
Yes?
Tamai... let's go to the faculty room...
Faculty Room
My dad...
He's missing in action...
Tamai, I'm sure he's okay...
That's a lie! My father would never crash while flying a plane!
Tamai! Where are you going?
Where... I'm going to go find Dad with Hoshimaru...
Dad... where is he?
Yes. Yes, that's right. Yes, one moment. Tamai!
Yeah.
Yes, this is Tamai. Oh, Mr. Suzuki? Uh huh.
Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks Mr. Suzuki.
What did he say?
Nothing yet. The Self-Defense Force...
and the Maritime Safety Agency are sending people to look.
Shiina.
Who is it? Hoshimaru?
Hoshimaru...
This is dad's ... heartbeat?
Dad's ... alive...
Shunji Tamai Doctor in Charge:
You're the last person I expected...
It's not that strange. I am your wife.
Cigarettes...
You smoke now.
Yeah...
Ten years ago, you used to hate it when I smoked.
That was ten years ago. Now, I smoke...
So, why are you...
Tell me what happened.
Is that part of your job?
It's out of concern for the man I love.
Sorry, sorry. I just haven't heard a line like that in years.
You liar.
That's not fair... If you say that, I won't be able to lie.
Then, talk to me.
An angel...
What?
An angel that looked like a doll carrying a vulcan cannon...
My buddy Ono was killed by it.
You're good at drawing. Draw it here for me.
Now?
Of course.
This is the second time I met something weird...
Of course, you didn't believe me back then.
Now who's talking about the past? Thank you... I'm glad you're safe.
Especially because you can get a statement.
I was being serious. I'm glad... for her sake too...
No running!
Yes ma'am!
I got your belt!
You're not aware that this is a hospital, are you?
Huh? These are pretty flowers. Was someone here?
Oh... yeah.
Someone from work?
Something like that.
Tamai, you awake?
Miss President!
Oh, Shiina. I'm so sorry about this.
Whew. The press is really getting on my case.
Is it okay for you to be here, ma'am?
I'm trying to relax. This is the only place I can do that.
It's like heaven.
So it was an angel... It's hard not being able to say the truth...
I don't care what they say about me.
But calling my pilots and my mechanics incompetent,
is something that I just can't stand.
Ono... won't be able to rest in peace.
Oh, Shiina. Would you mind going to Ono's wake?
You knew him pretty well, right?
Yeah...
I'll send Suzuki to take you, later.
I'm glad your father's safe.
Someone from dad's company... no, he's not... Huh, who was it?
Miss President.
Oh, Suzuki. Good work.
Shiina, come light some incense.
Do you know how?
Then come with me. Just do what I do.
Good job today. Are you tired?
No, I'm okay.
Then do you want to stay with us tonight?
I'm sure my wife would be thrilled.
Thanks... but I have school tomorrow...
All right.
Hey, Mr. Suzuki?
I wonder why people die...
I wonder why... I don't know myself. I've never even thought about it.
That's not good. I just lost a young friend, and I'm getting senile.
Okay then... Why do you think we're born...
Can I get out for a second?
See you later, Shiina.
Take care, Mr. Suzuki.
Okay.
W-Who is it?
l-lt's me...
Akira?
Thank god... I've been calling you for ages.
Shiina...
H-Help me...
What?
Say hello to Ensof and Hoshimaru.
The Fifth Episode The Angel's Game - The End
It spans the entire sky and stretches on endlessly
I look up and wish that it would take me and envelop me
Even if I can't walk alongside everyone
I want them to see my footprints and know that I'm not there
That day, I let go of your hand
You never even looked back
You just left me behind
Can't you see that I have my dreams
And they're waiting on your doorstep
It spans the entire sky and stretches on endlessly
I look up and wish that it would take me and envelop me
