Well, it's time we got started.
Wait a damn minute, Naoi!
Since when were you on our side?!
What are you talking about?
I'm here to fill in for you, idiot.
Now, disappear like the pathetic toilet paper you are.
Say what?!
Come on, guys.
Not when Kanade's working so hard.
We need to take this opportunity to meet with everyone in Battlefront.
What's this? Do you need something?
[Sekin] I guess we're, well, ready to go.
Okay, we all agreed with what you had to say, Otonashi.
That's right. We've made our minds up.
We're that type of group.
[Irie] We already figured as much anyway.
After all, we've lost two vocalists.
[Sekin] No one could replace Iwasawa and Yui.
She really was a horrible vocalist.
Everyday was fun, like a festival.
[Hisako] I think you'll have a harder time with the others.
I bet...
If you're going to do this, see it through.
Otherwise, it looks like you talked us into it.
If the ever-fighting Battlefront disappears from this level of exsistence.
If this strange world fulfills its purpose for everyone, even you...
I'll be able to think that this was for the best.
For a short while, we got to enjoy the youth we never had.
I think our time here will have been worth it
if we were just supposed to have fun. Isn't that what life's about?
What are you talking about?
I don't get it.
I bet not.
Well, who knows what's up next?
We're leaving now, just so you know.
Later, newbie.
High five!
We'll play in a band next time too.
Yeah, and I'll become your fan again.
Yup. Later.
You did an excellent job of seeing off those commoners.
You definitely have an attitude problem though!
I do not have an attitude problem!
How dare you say that to God?!
Quit goofing off and let's go.
Why are there so many?
What the hell's going on in this place? Where's the NPCs?!
Somehow I think that these are the only things here!
Maybe they've figured out what we're up to. Then that means only one thing.
You ***!
Noda?
Way to go, Noda!
So Noda, have you decided to help us fight?
Don't be stupid you guys!
I'm only going to take action if it's to help Yurippe!
Oh, I get it.
You've got a one-track mind, don't you? Well I guess I should have seen that coming.
Ooyama!
I don't have any special talents,
but maybe I'll make God's eyes pop out if I do something great here!
That's right, you show Him man!
Listen I don't want anyone to go and forget about me.
It kind of feels like no one would notice if I vanished!
In the end I...
[TK] Woohoo! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
Knockin' on heaven's door.
Hold on a minute that's Bob Dylan.
But it matches the situation.
What does it mean?
Dunno!
Looks to me like we're all here.
What's wrong with this world?
Someone tell me what's going on here!
[Hinata] And what happened to you?
Who are you?
Well, I was out getting in some training in the mountains.
There wasn't so much to eat, so...
Wait! You're Matsushita the 5th?!
Tasty candy!
You really thinned out.
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah! I feel pretty darn good!
I swear I just might be able to pummel close to a hundred men right now!
Isn't that karate move?
Anyway, it's great to have you back!
As you can see, we're up against kind of an army here.
Let's leave this place in one piece. What do you say about that you guys?
Yeah!
Goodbye, wild heaven.
Okay!
Let's pull through this!
I don't get it. The Guild's a great place to hide out, but it's enemy territory.
It's part of our main base after all!
Of course. I shoulda known.
They've infested the place.
Damn it! There's no end to them.
Otonashi, look down!
They just keep popping up!
Behind you!
A hundred men.
What?
Consider your forces a hundred men stronger.
Don't you get it?
I shall carry out your will.
Now go!
Shiina...
I'll leave them to you!
Come on, Hinata!
Yeah!
Where are you going, Otonashi?!
For there to be so many of these ***,
I've just got to be on the right path.
I'm running low...
I can't get through them with just a handgun.
What now?
Yurippe...
Char?
News finally hit the deep depths of the Guild.
Everyone's currently headed topside to get out of here.
I see.
Take this with you, kid.
Thank you, Char!
Is this it? Is the war over?
[Yuri] Yes, it's ending.
I see.
In that case, we'll be disbanding.
We were able to work our hardest because you were fighting so hard for all of us.
Thank you for everything.
We couldn't have done this without you. You've always been there for us.
Nah, I wasn't anything all that special.
Later!
Time to go.
Did I miss it?
Time for a quick breather.
Is Angel...
no, Kanade, out fighting?
I wish I would have realized all of this sooner.
We might have been able to become friends.
We're both girls after all.
Despite this world we're in,
I might have been able to find some cute clothes for her.
But I guess that's impossible now.
I just can't...
...forgive God.
That's why...
Damn it!
Die...
Die!
Die! Die! Die!
Die! Die!
Huh? Wasn't I just thinking about something?
What was it again?
I'm erasing this, okay?
[Teacher] Is there a problem, Nakamura?
Is it okay?
Uh, yes, go ahead.
Oh, damn!
That was embarrassing!
Hey, Yuri.
What were you doing during our class today?
Nothing much.
I was just day dreaming.
Day dreaming?
And it made you jump up during class?
Are you in love?
Is it love?!
Stupid! I'd love to fall in love if I could.
I think Fujiwara might have the hots for you.
Hey, are you listening, Yuri?
Look!
Fujiwara's by himself right now.
Fujiwara!
Hey, stop it!
Wait a minute. Who are you again?
I'm Hitomi.
Oh, yeah that's right, you're Hitomi.
Right.
Are you losing your mind?
Maybe I am.
That's because...
You think it's because I'm "Love sick."
Bingo!
Go back to your seat.
[Teacher] As such, you should memorize this.
Nakamura, what are you looking at?
Hey, Yuri!
All right, Nakamura.
Read from the top of the next page for us.
What now?
This is really wonderful.
What are you talking about?
This is such a happy environment...
It's too dazzling for me.
This is the way people live their lives.
Isn't it just beautifull?
I'm envious.
If I vanished now, could I start over anew?
Could I accept normal happiness?
Nakamura...
Yuri?
If I lost my memories and got a different personality,
I might be able to.
But then, what does it mean to be reborn?
That isn't the life I had anymore.
It's someone else's life.
Everyone only gets to live life one time.
And it's right here.
I only get it once.
This is my life.
I can't entrust it to someone.
I can't steal a new one.
I can't force it on others.
I can't forget it or erase it!
I can't stomp over it, laugh it off or beautify it.
I can't anything!
I'd have to, I'd have to accept my one shot at life,
no matter how cruel and merciless or unfair I though it was!
Sir, don't you understand?
That's why I must fight.
I must keep on fighting!
Because, because I can never...
...accept that kind of life!
Yo! Looks like we made it in time.
Otonashi and Hinata?
I'm here too.
Did I come, come back?
Kanade told us your voice...
no, your deepest feelings were exploding.
That's why she brought us down here.
[Yuri] Kanade did?
I see...
It's all thanks to you that I made it out okay.
But what are, what are all you doing here?
I left things to the others.
They're carrying on our will. That's what Battlefront's all about.
So then, you, you came to save me?
We came to fight alongside you.
It's the same thing!
Well, I guess so.
Yurippe, you had me pretty worried.
[Angel] For now, you should straighten your clothes.
C'mon! Let's go!
[Hinata] I swear, she's just as fast-paced as ever.
Say, doesn't it feel like they're protecting something?
My, what a coincidence! I thought the same thing.
But unless we carpet bomb the area with some kind of defencive...
Then, I'll go do it.
Kanade no!
That's crazy! It's suicide!
No, wait a minute.
Great!
So her fighting abilities are on par with a bomb?!
Right let's go!
They're popping up again!
Okay Yuri, you go on ahead!
The rest of us will deal with these guys.
Okay, thank you!
Yeah, just leave them to us.
He's mocking us.
But we've got him now.
Just how many did he steal?
I was right.
[Boy] I'm amazed you made it here.
Are you making fun of me?
You had a nameplate on the door so I couldn't miss it.
Well, this is part of the school after all.
So I see you have a strange set of values.
No, no, I'm just obeying the rules that's all.
Rules made by this world's God?
God yes...
Is He real or not?
That's truly a deep question.
It's most fascinating,
but I have no means to pursue it.
I simply obey the rules. I only do what is expected of me.
[Yuri] I bet you were programmed to do this.
It's just as you presumed.
So who programmed you?
[NPC] You wouldn't know even if I told you.
He's from a long time ago.
Angel Player...
What is this software?
[NPC] As you're already aware,
it's software that lets you create material and transform it.
[Yuri] Maybe I am but how can it do that?
[NPC] Beats me, it's not like I invent it.
But then again you've been making weapons out of dirt.
It's the same principle.
So, it's just following the same set of rules.
Did the creator of this Angel Player software want to become God?
Dunno; I don't know anything.
Look, I'm short on time, so let's skip the small talk.
Were you programmed do to this if "something" happened?
I don't know the details about my programming.
Then, let me rephrase it.
What changed in the world as far as you're concerned?
Love started to bloom in this world.
Love?
Right, love.
That should never be allowed to exist within this world.
I see, makes sense.
You should disappear the second you start to love another.
But what would happen in this world if love started to sprout?
If love should happen take root, this land would turn into an eternal Eden.
But I cannot allow that to happen.
After all, people are supposed to "graduate" from this world.
[Yuri] At least, that's what someone thought.
However, there are some cases when a person lived for another and had a good life,
but wound up here because of a case that's like amnesia.
This bug appears when situations like that occur.
So that's it. That's happened to Angel Player's programmer.
[NPC] I'm surprised.
What an excellent deduction.
He realized there was some kind of system bug in the software and fixed it.
He used the NPCs to turn into those shadows.
He's resetting everything.
[NPC] Correct.
So, what?
Are there more people like us amongst the NPCs?
More people like the Battleground?
Yes, there is; just one other.
The poor guy...
It's the programmer himself.
And he found himself always waiting.
You see he fell deeply in love with a girl who left him alone in this world.
[Yuri] No way, he'd never get to see her again.
I'd say that it's highly unlikely, but the chances are certainly better than zero.
But he waited for so long
that he lost his grip on sanity.
As such, he created a program to turn himself into an NPC.
[Yuri] So, you mean to say he was the first?
Then he applied it to the rest of the world so that wouldn't repeat itself.
I'd say that's a possibility.
[Yuri] I wonder if he'll ever find peace?
Who knows?
I don't know what's right or wrong anymore.
I confess that I don't know what is right or not.
However, you may be able to lead us to that answer,
since you were able to make it all the way here.
What do you mean?
I mean that if you like, you can change the world. If you choose to.
[Yuri] Why would I change it?
You could choose the path he didn't choose in this world.
What are you saying to me? That I could become God?
You could say that.
I could turn this place into an eternal Eden if I wanted.
He denied pursuit of that path, but I personally will not.
Actually, I lack the emotions to deny that.
God?
Me become God of this world?
What is so funny?
This world is finally mine!
I finally did it!
This is what I was fighting for.
I could even defeat Angel!
With this massive system, I'd be invincible!
There's no way I'd ever do that.
I can't put Kanade through that anymore.
After all, I only made it this far because I...
What's this?
I feel the presence of love.
It's the first time it's been this big.
It's intensifying at a terrifying speed!
What is it?
[Yuri] You see, the real reason I did all this and came all this way was to protect everyone!
[NPC] Oh, so you were the cause.
Well? What will you do now?
I want you to shut down these computers.
Do it right now.
[NPC] Are you sure?
Have you thought this through?
You still have plenty of time.
I'd say an eternity's worth.
Look buddy, I'm going to tell you something.
We humans we aren't real big on waiting.
You ask me, we've been waiting long enough!
It's finally over...
I'm sure everyone's okay.
Now they can leave this world without any difficulty.
But I still failed them.
Your big sis started caring for everyone as much as I do you.
I wanted only to love you, to make you proud.
What's this feeling that I have?
What's wrong with me?
Everything that kept me going is disappearing.
I won't be able to stay here once it's completely vanished.
And here life was so unfair as it stole you away.
But the time I've spent with everyone was invaluable. It ment so much to me.
I don't believe it. I'm starting to want to follow after everyone.
Thank you, you've done enough.
Sis, you don't have to suffer alone anymore.
You've worked so very hard for a long time, sis!
[Otonashi] I'm truly happy I got to...
spend this time with everyone.
Thank you so much.

Yuzuru Otonashi!
