My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered (2024) s01e01 Episode Script

[siren blaring]
[mysterious music]
[rifle fire in background]
Hello?
Where's Ms. Asaka?
[mysterious music continues]
[panicked] What in
the world is going on?
Please let go of me already.
You said you weren't going to
hurt anyone!
[kidnapper] Shut your mouth.
Ms. Asaka!
I finally found you.
Huh?
Yogiri, no.
What are you doing here?
Don't do a thing.
Move a muscle and I'll
shoot her in the head!
Stop it, you're hurting me.
[kidnapper] You tell
him to stay where he is.
[Asaka] Please, take it easy.
Tell him!
I said freeze or she'll die.
[music cuts to silence]
[thuds down]
What is going on?
What happened to her?
Let's go home.
But, Yogiri, you-
[siren blaring distantly]
[chuckles]
Hey!
Come on!
Wake up!
Hey!
Ms. Asaka?
Who are you?
Tomochika Dannoura.
[Yogiri yawns]
Right, Ms. Dannoura.
Are we already there?
[Tomochika growls]
How'd you stay asleep
with that huge ruckus going on?
[gory squelching]
How did all this happen?
The heck should I know?
[wyvern growling]
- Huh?
- Huh?
[suspenseful music]
A snake?
No, a lizard?
[dramatic music]
[gory squelching]
[wyvern roars]
So it's a wyvern, is it?
[wyvern roars]
[dramatic music]
We are so done for!
[dramatic music continues]
[door unlocks]
[music cuts to silence]
[inaudible]
[crashes to the ground]
Ms. Dannoura,
I think you're safe now.
Really?
I mean, what is happening?
That would be the question
I would like to ask,
but let's calm you down first.
Okay, now I'm ready to talk.
Huh? You're really gonna
game at a time like this?!
[opening theme]
[triumphant music
plays on console]
Hey, wanna get outta here
already?
And what would we do exactly?
There's no guarantee
we'll be safe.
Your calm, cool,
and collected attitude
is totally fine and all,
but please don't say
that while you're gaming.
All right,
have you calmed down?
I guess so.
Then please tell me
what happened.
Hmm.
[suspenseful music]
Well, last night
we were on the bus
heading for our field trip.
Then on the other side
of the tunnel-
Huh?
There was a sunny meadow.
[brakes screeching]
[confused chattering]
Hey, Mikochi,
what the heck's going on?
I think a meadow? Yeah.
Huh?
Greetings, everyone.
Nice to meet you.
I am known as the Sage, Sion.
Just who do you
think you are?!
[spell zinging]
[splattering]
[Tomochika gasps]
[dramatic music]
[body thuds down]
Please don't make a racket.
If you would be so kind, focus
your attention on me, 'kay?
[confused murmuring]
I have no intention of
causing you harm directly,
but if you anger me
in any way whatsoever,
I can make no guarantees.
So you should know my
attack power is 530,000.
[driver stammering]
You see, this is where
you should laugh
at what I just said.
[spell zinging]
[driver yelps]
[splattering]
My joke bombed and it
angered me a little bit,
so I killed him.
[tense music]
Now then, if you
haven't figured it out,
this is an isekai to all of you.
I summoned you all here
as Sage candidates.
However, as you will learn,
this world is ruled by Sages
and sometimes it's necessary
to replenish our low numbers.
[spell zinging]
[Tomochika squeals]
Huh?
What's going on?
And, like, why am I not glowing?
You'll find that I
installed a simple system
called "Battle Song" in
each and every one of you.
A logo image from
the license should be
in your field of vision.
Mikochi, are you
looking at something?
Yeah, there's writing
I can't understand,
but it's right in front of me.
Oh, these are my stats.
The system that I
installed in all of you
is called a "Gift"
in this world.
Make good use of it and
aim to become a sage.
You'll have a time limit of
one month to reach your goal.
Hey!
How come I'm not glowing,
and I can't see
any logo or anything?
My goodness, then.
Well, there are some people
that aren't a
good match for this.
Just accept it.
Huh?!
If you can't become
a sage and be useful,
shall I turn you into livestock
that rings out
all magic instead?
Livestock?
Your first mission will
begin in exactly one hour,
so don't get wiped
out too soon, okay?
[Sion giggles]
[mysterious music]
What is this all about?
Oh, it's showing the
explanation of the mission.
It says a dragon
is coming to attack.
A what?
No way, a dragon?
- [Yazaki] Everyone listen up.
- Huh?
It looks like we
have no choice
but to clear this first mission.
We're gonna have to work
together to do that.
Tell me all your stats.
[indistinct chattering]
We're all sorted then, right?
[chatter dies down]
Looks like the only ones
who didn't glow are me and-
Seriously though, why'd
this have to happen to me now?
[Tomochika] Ms. Shinozaki.
Kiryuu.
That's Takatou, I think?
Seriously? Is he for real
sleeping at a time like this?
Yeah, that's right.
I don't remember Takatou doing
anything aside from sleeping.
[door slides open]
And not a single word
to support us.
Let's just go.
Hey, Takatou,
everyone's leaving.
Come on, wake up.
Just leave him behind.
He likes sleeping, right?
[Kiryuu] And what do
you suppose we do?
[both gasp]
I know it sucks, but you
guys will need to stay here.
Why are you freaking
cutting us off, you jerk?
What's your deal?!
My deal is that I'm a general.
[Yazaki grunts]
[ominous music]
Those who have received the Gift
have this degree of
enhanced physical ability,
even at level 1.
You all have no abilities
and bringing you
with us will be a burden.
[seats crash down]
[Kiryuu grunts]
Doesn't having
that power mean you
should take responsibility
and protect us?
Having you stay here
is a strategy.
Just listen to me.
A strategy?
[intense music]
Okay, you guys,
I'm gonna make everyone
even more cute!
Charm up, my little cutie beans.
[bubbles twinkling]
Asun, did you do something?
Everyone's better-looking now.
You're welcome!
[Tomochika] Huh?
There's just one dragon
hunting in this area.
If you guys can act
as the decoys,
then everyone else
can safely reach
the city without any harm.
As decoys?
Are you saying everyone else
agreed to this strategy?
'Cause Mikochi
would never go for this.
By Mikochi
you mean Jogasaki, right?
Of course she agreed to it.
[Tomochika gasps]
[door slams shut]
No wait! Dammit!
He locked the door!
Why is this even
happening to us?
What are we gonna do now?
[wings flapping]
What the?
[Kiryuu] The window!
Get out through the window!
Is that a dragon?
[loud crashing]
[Tomochika screams]
[Kiryuu screams]
[Kiryuu whimpering]
[suspenseful music]
So now we're here.
Someone managed to sleep
peacefully through
the whole thing.
Hmm.
This totally sucks.
I mean, how am I supposed
to charge my gaming device?
That's what you're
worried about?!
If we're to believe
what Yazaki said,
there's only one dragon.
If that's it,
it should be safe outside.
Hey.
Did you do something, Takatou?
The dragon crashed
and died all on its own.
That sounds like a lie!
You don't have to believe
me if you don't want.
[birds chirping]
Hill, city, forest.
Those are our three choices,
so maybe we should go
ahead and skip the forest.
- Hey.
- Huh?
I think something's
flying right this way.
Is it a dragon?
No, it's not.
Higashida, Fukuhara,
and Hanakawa
are flying towards us.
What?!
How can you tell from
so far away like that?
Should I go ahead and kill them?
Yeah, sure. If your classmates
are flying in the sky,
the first thing you do
is murder 'em, right?
What's wrong with you?!
Well, they practically
gave us a death sentence
by leaving us behind like that.
[Tomochika gasps]
But that doesn't mean
you have to talk
about murdering them.
Even if we aren't out to
get them, it's still possible
they'll be hostile towards
us regardless.
What?
[suspenseful music]
What's this?
Looks like the dragon is dead.
Well, that saves us a lot
of trouble, doesn't it?
Huh?
Tomochika's alive?!
This is most unexpected.
Our great plans to turn
her nubile corpse
into a zombie and go wild
have been utterly ruined!
I told you there was a chance
she'd be alive, didn't I?
Well, I mean, making and
controlling her
as a zombie is pretty creepy,
you know?
Don't say any more than that.
I'm pretty sure Dannoura's
already freaked out.
Okay, I just now
understood clearly
that we can't ever be friends.
[Higashida snarls]
Fireball!
[fire beam blasts]
[Tomochika gasps]
[explosion booms]
[chuckle]
Lord Higashida's fireball
is rather unconventional,
isn't it?
Since I can't use
anything but basic magic,
I simply kept refining it.
[Fukuhara] Good thing
you're a hero, Higashida.
I'm just an upstart necromancer,
nothing special yet.
There's no point in resisting.
You might as well
come with us, Dannoura.
Why would you do that?
I decided that
at my next go round,
I'd do whatever I wanted.
And first up will be Dannoura.
You're just the kind
of sweet girl I dream
about nightly while thinking
thoughts before bedtime.
Seriously?!
You're actually hitting on me?
I'm impressed you've
got the guts
to say something like that
in this weird situation.
You two seem to be quite
buddy-buddy.
Don't you worry, I think I
know just what to say to them.
[Tomochika] Huh?
[Higashida] Hm?
[bell dings softly]
Die now.
Hilarious!
What could "die" possibly do?
Your vocabulary is so
minuscule, it's unbelievable.
- What?
- Huh?
Higashida, what the
hell happened to you?!
He's dead because
I told him to die now.
How hard can it be
to figure it out?
So don't move.
Higashida, no!
Die now.
Huh?
I said not to move, didn't I?
[Hanakawa whimpers]
If you move, you die.
You understand now?
Uh-
Okay!
So now then,
I will explain my ability.
[light playful music]
[upbeat rock music]
Can you check if those guys
are actually dead for me?
I don't wanna get too close.
Don't worry, I won't kill you.
[suspenseful music]
[Hanakawa whimpers]
Heal yourself!
[spell zinging]
[suspenseful music continues]
[chuckles]
My magic power is healing.
No matter how grave the injury,
I can heal it instantly
with my recovery magic.
What? They aren't moving.
Do you get it now?
So what happened
to the dragon was-
Explaining it is
a pain in the butt.
A pain? Are you kidding me?
Well, Hanakawa
seems pretty stupid.
If I don't explain it to him,
then he would
start another fight.
I guess you're right.
[intense rock music]
You've come out
of nowhere with this.
You have gone too far!
I reacted like that because
you attacked me first.
[Hanakawa gasps]
As you can see,
my ability is called
"Instant Death to Any Target."
If I simply think that
I wanna kill someone,
they immediately die.
No way!
That's beyond completely absurd!
If you don't believe me,
let's test it.
No, I understand just fine!
Really, so could you
please stop looking at me
like you wanna
murder me right now?
[evil chuckle]
Stop where you are.
Huh? What seems to
be the problem?
You were trying to
do something just now.
[stammering] What are
you talking about, dude?
Paranoid much?
I'll speak plain.
The other ability
I have is to determine
if there is any intent
to kill aimed at me.
For real?!
Yes, and when
you combine those two,
it's also possible that my
target will die
just by having
the intent to kill me.
How's anyone's supposed to win
against something like that?
Dammit! [crying]
I'm curious, why are
you so full of yourselves
after just receiving your Gift?
It seems a little premature
for you to trust it yet.
Well, that's because
this is not the first time
we have been transported
into this world.
[dramatic music]
It was a short time ago,
the magician
of the Kingdom of Iman
summoned the three of us
to defeat the feared and
loathsome demon lord!
So basically,
you're telling us
you three adventured in
this world for about a year
and the moment you
defeated the demon lord,
you were returned back home?
Please do not summarize
my heroic tale so lightly!
Hey, were those guys
ever absent from school?
I don't remember
them being gone.
When we returned
home afterwards,
it had only been a few
hours that had passed.
Then there is a good
possibility
that we can go back as well.
Hey! Wait just a moment!
I'm just getting rid of
future problems, is all.
Please, spare my life!
[Hanakawa quivering]
Hey, Ms. Dannoura, what do
you think about all of this?
Do you think you could
smooth things out
between Lord Takatou and I?
The only reason
that I am safe right now
is because Takatou saved
me from that dragon.
I don't think I have a
say in what he chooses.
No, please don't
say that, Tomochika!
You know, you're
surprisingly cold!
I've got it!
[chuckles nervously]
With this, I can become your
loyal servant, Tomochika.
This is an ultra-rare
magic item,
and putting it on
will make you unable
to disobey the
first person you see.
You put it on like this and-
[collar zinging]
Gracious Master,
your wish is my
most ardent desire.
Ew, get away!
[collar zinging]
[Hanakawa choking]
Like, I find this whole
thing seriously gross.
Is there no other way to
stop being the master?
I don't wanna say,
but I cannot disobey
your direct order.
You can transfer me
to another person
if that's what you wish.
Okay, I'm handing you
to him then.
No!
I was hoping to be kept as
Tomochika's man-servant!
[crying]
Okay, fine then.
I won't kill you anymore.
Do you really mean that?
You see that
forest over there?
Huh?
That's full of magical beasts.
Go stand and wait
there patiently.
Did you hear what
I just told you?
That place is crawling
with scary-ass monsters!
My legs, they have
a mind of their own.
Almost forgot.
May I assume that all of that
was in jest, then?
Don't say a word about
us to anyone else, okay?
Is that all, Master?
[Takatou] And also-
How can I help you?
Anything of yours of
value, leave with us.
[Hanakawa] And I worked so hard
on my last adventure
to get them!
Who would go and rob
a guy like that?
This is most unfair, Master!
Are you sure about this?
Trust me,
it's better this way.
We don't know when
he'll betray us.
Okay then,
what will you do about me?
'Cause you never know, I may
suddenly turn on you as well.
If it happens, it happens.
I am the one who chose to
protect you, so you'll be fine.
Um, I don't really know
how to say this, but
in the past, you and
I have never really
spoken this much before,
have we?
So why are you doing so
much to protect me now?
What?
I don't know,
now that you say it.
Wait, hold on a sec.
There's gotta be something.
Maybe something like you
started wanting to protect me
in spite of yourself?
Something like that?
Oh yeah.
Huh?
Did something just come to mind?
When the dragon came, you
came over and then grabbed me.
[tender music]
[boinging sound]
Your boobs were
really nice and soft.
[Tomochika gasps]
[screaming angrily] There
are absolutely zero good men
in this ridiculous
world, dammit!
[mysterious music]
[Sion giggles softly]
[Youichi] Sage Sion.
[Sion] Huh?
Oh, Youichi.
What's happened?
You were the one who asked
for a status report from me.
We're alone here.
You don't need to
talk to me like that.
It's about
the Sage candidates.
Ah.
I saw that the dragon
somehow died,
but what's happened since then?
Have there been
any catastrophes?
The first mission
has been cleared.
There were four deaths.
That sounds about right.
That means the four people
with no ability
were quickly abandoned, huh?
[Youichi] Actually, two people
with no ability and two S-ranks.
Huh?
I did not foresee
this happening at all.
They died very suddenly
and without warning.
Do you think this could
be Instant Death magic?
It is baffling
that the system install
would fail on something
so important.
But it's probably not
something worth worrying about.
We must use caution.
[Sion] You may do
as you see fit.
Yes ma'am.
[cape whooshes]
[Sion giggles softly]
[ending theme]

Angel is So Overpowered,
This Other World
is a Piece of Cake"
