My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
[opening theme]
[upbeat percussive music]
[Tomochika] We finally made it.
There's the town, Takatou!
[Yogiri yawns]
[gate creaking]
Hey, is it just me
or are they closing up the gate?
I mean, yeah,
usually gates like that
get shut down at night.
- Then we better hurry!
- Hold on!
Um, excuse me.
[speaking in foreign language]
Huh?
[bird cries in the distance]
Are you guys different
from the group
that was here earlier today?
Talk about a pain in the neck.
What is it that you want?
Thank heavens! Someone
who speaks our language!
We got separated from that
other group you mentioned
and came here to meet up.
Crap, I'll have you know
there's usually an
entrance fee for this,
but we got orders from above
not to mess with
Sage candidates.
We heard the others left
for the royal capital already.
What's the best means
of getting there?
Although I was ordered
not to interfere.
I was never told to help either.
Whatever, man.
Oh, right,
the young lady here,
and only her, is more than
welcome to stay at my place.
[Tomochika gasps]
Um, no, thank you.
[Tomochika panting]
Huh?
What's with you all of a sudden?
I was afraid you were
gonna get all spooky eyed
and kill that guy.
Oh geez, don't act like
I'm a homicidal maniac.
Yikes, I'm shocked that you
don't even realize
that's what you are.
Hey, look at that!
This place looks straight
out of a fantasy!
Oh wow! There are even people
who look like beastkin!
[catgirl] Hey, there!
Are you two
Sage candidates, meow?
Huh?
I'm guessing you're new
to these parts around here.
Are you two having any
problems, meow?
Whoa. She's got cat ears.
What do you want?
If there's anything you
need help with,
I'll do it free of charge, meow!
You would really do that?
And how would
that benefit you?
My goal is to get cozy with
male Sage candidates, meow.
I hear they fall
for girls easily
despite all their prospects.
Jeez. She's
blunter than a club.
Of course, I wouldn't
dare lay my paws on a guy
who already has a cute
little girlfriend, meow!
The secret to success lies
in expanding my network
of friends little by little,
just like this, meow.
It's fine.
I'm not his girlfriend.
What should we do?
To be honest, I would really
like to take in the sights
before it gets too dark.
Would you mind
guiding us around?
I'm Mireiyu.
Nice to meet you, meow.
[gifts shimmering]
Shucks, I couldn't help myself
from buying some clothes
since I normally
can't wear this stuff.
[tense music]
[bandits chuckling]
Yeah, so this ended about
as well as I expected it to.
Well, excuse me!
Sorry for thinking that
she was a nice girl
who wanted to help!
Think you're sitting
pretty there, little cutie?
- So you're after our money?
- Well, yeah.
We're obviously gonna
take everything you have,
but what we really want
are Sage candidates
who lack any abilities.
Those blessed with
the Gift are hated
for always running amuck
in this town,
but we can't lay
a finger on them.
Which is why powerless
nobodies like you
sell for a lot of cash
to relieve stress.
Oh, all right.
I see what your deal is.
So I'm thinking I'm just
gonna kill you right now.
That cool?
Huh?
You can relax a bit.
We ain't going to kill you or
anything too gruesome like that.
But no guarantees it won't
be a fate worse than death.
[Yogiri sighs]
Mireiyu, I know how he looks,
but he's stupidly overpowered!
You guys will never beat him!
Are you for real?
Nobody's gonna fall for
your silly bluffs, meow.
Because weak-ass losers like
you who don't have the Gift
of the Sages are totally
helpless, meow.
For starters, the
guys behind me can die.
[air whooshing]
[Tomochika whimpers]
Holy crap!
What the hell
did you do to them?
[power shimmering]
[upbeat music]
You can half die.
[goon grunting]
[clattering]
I guess half
is still a bit much.
Right ankle.
[air whooshing]
[sword clattering]
Crud, I messed up.
Left arm.
[air whooshing]
[goon grunting]
Takatou, what are you doing?
I'm trying to see
if I can hold back
from fully killing them.
Eyeballs.
[air whooshing]
[goon screaming]
My eyes, my eyes,
my eyes, my eyes!
You bastard.
[power shimmering]
Just what the
psychotic hell are you?
That's a good question.
Killing off single parts
of their bodies isn't very
efficient.
I also don't like that it
comes off like torture.
Sir, please spare me!
I actually have a bunch of
starving younger brothers
who are waiting for me to take
care of them back at home!
I don't care.
That doesn't make robbing
and human trafficking okay.
What the hell?
This was supposed to be easy!
Die.
[Mireiyu squealing]
Huh?
[chuckles shakily]
Looks like you screwed up there.
Let's get out of here!
What? Wait a sec!
You just let them go?
Actually, I didn't.
Hey, wait up for me!
What was that?
He's some kind of mon-
[air whooshing]
That was stupid.
I shouldn't have
messed with him.
[water splashing]
We should get out
of here while we can.
Don't move!
I'm captain of the guard.
I have some questions
about what happened here.
Well, we don't know much.
We just got lost and then
ended up in the middle of this.
Don't you lie to me!
I saw that group of criminals
who were attacking you suddenly
collapse on the ground.
Figures you'd blame it on us!
If you were watching,
why didn't you come help?
Because we were trying to hunt
down the leaders of these goons.
So you're saying you were
banking on tailing them
so you could find out where
we would get sold off to?
Yes, that's exactly right.
But don't get any funny ideas.
We guards have been
thoroughly blessed
with the protection
of the Sages,
so your deadly Gift
abilities won't work on us.
I'm afraid, Captain Edelgart,
my appraisal skill
indicates that neither
of these individuals here
has the Gift.
Come again?
It's hard to imagine
they were the ones responsible
for this.
Ugh, fine then, let's go!
My apologies to you.
Please, will you
forgive our captain?
Sure thing.
But in exchange,
could you show us a place
where we can stay for the night?
Hey, Jorge, one's still alive.
[Tomochika] Whoa!
Check it out!
It's incredible!
Just like a castle!
Though I've never seen the
inside of a real castle before.
Hey, what's the plan?
We sharing a room?
Huh? No, I prefer
that we didn't.
'Kay, then let's get two
rooms next to each other.
It's so huge!
Is this really for one person?
I can't believe
that he suggested
sharing a room together.
Wait a sec,
is this the first time
that we've actually been
separated since coming here?
I wonder if that means he's
interested in me romantically.
Oh wait, all he cares about is-
[boobs squishing sonorously]
Your boobs were
really nice and soft.
[Tomochika growling]
[air shimmering]
Who's there?
[screaming]
[Tomochika yelling]
[spirit giggling]
My big sister?
What on Earth are
you doing in this world?
Don't you dare lump me in
with her, please!
My name is Mokomoko Dannoura,
Wife of the Dannoura
School's founder's son.
I'm patron saint
of the Dannoura School
who is responsible
for its dynasty.
I'm also your guardian angel.
So there.
Quit dumping so much info.
I don't even know
where to start.
What's a guardian angel?
I'm a spirit that comes
to provide aid
when you're in danger.
You're a little late!
Why didn't you show up
earlier when the dragon came?
Ugh, because of that kid.
He's real bad news.
I might have been obliterated
if I revealed myself carelessly.
So you're telling me
Takatou's killing power
even works on spirits like you?
That's right.
So it would be
a great help to me
if you could explain
my existence to him
so he doesn't get
suddenly surprised!
All right, then.
So how exactly are
you gonna help me?
Well, as you can see,
I'm a spirit of the dead.
I protect you from
the supernatural.
In fact, I am the one who
prevented the "Gift" thingy
from being installed in you.
[giggling]
So it's your fault!
Why on Earth would you do that?
Did you really want something
you don't understand inside you?
Huh?
On one hand,
it does come with benefits.
However, the instant that
you accept its power,
you become no more than
a puppet to the Sages.
Hold on, does that mean people
who don't get it
installed are all protected
by a spirit like you?
I don't know
about anyone else,
but you are successor of the
Dannoura School of Archery
and our mixed martial
arts that have existed
since the Heian period.
All I want is for you
to return to the world
that you originally came from.
I would love to go back
home to my real world,
but I've been totally
reliant on Takatou
since arriving in this place.
That's where I come in.
I shall now pass onto you
the true arts of
the Dannoura School.
Get ready for
Operation Most Cool
and Awesome:
"My Guardian Angel
is So Overpowered,
This Other World
is a Piece of Cake"!
Are you sure you're
from the Heian Period?!
[Tomochika groaning]
Good morning.
Didn't sleep well?
Kind of sorta.
It's complicated.
So are we leaving to chase
after everyone else right away?
Yeah. Well about that.
Greetings. I am a
concierge here at the hotel.
My name is Celestina.
Oh hi. Nice to meet you.
Yesterday I asked her
for some help,
so she's been figuring out
roughly where our classmates are
and what route
they've been taking.
She also prepared
some items to help us
with translating
and hiding our stats.
Plus she even made a charger
for my gaming device.
Huh?
Here are your tickets.
The train will depart
for the royal capital
later this afternoon.
Thank you very much.
Oh, would you mind
holding onto this for me?
Actually, I would rather
you invest it instead.
Wait, Takatou, that's a
little outside the scope
of what a concierge can do.
As you wish, sir.
The concierges here
are so competent!
There's literally nothing
for us to do!
[light playful music]
[upbeat rock music]
[water trickling]
[train whistle blowing]
[train chugging]
[gentle music]
Why is it that I'm stuck here
cranking the battery charger
while half-buried
in the plump stomach
of a ghost while
you play your game?
I don't take up
any physical space,
so what's there really
to worry about?
It doesn't bother me
one single bit.
Then why don't you float
over by Takatou instead?
Oh, I mean, he's just
too scary. [squealing]
Then why not vanish?
I haven't done anything
to intentionally
reveal myself to him.
It's just that
you've become able
to easily see me
when I'm around now.
You can see my guardian
ghost as well, can't you?
Ever since you told me
about her, I can, yeah.
But I mean, why don't you
just come sit over here.
Oh, good point.
Everyone else is fairly
near here, aren't they?
As far as
Miss Celestina reckons,
the kids from our class
are traveling
while also doing some
training inside of the forest.
It's crazy how she can know
so much about everything.
[Yogiri grunts]
[Tomochika yelps]
[power blasting]
What the heck?
[drone puttering]
[tense music]
Hey! Somebody tell me,
where am I?
As you can see,
we haven't been able
- to question him yet.
- Hey, come on! Boss!
Mireiyu!
Are you there? Help me, guys.
I feel so scared.
We tried healing magic,
but no luck.
- Please. Anybody?
- He doesn't appear
to have any physical wounds.
How interesting.
[Jorge] Milady?
[eyeball squishing]
[goon yelling]
[Lain] Heal!
- What the
- What in the world?
Damn it, I can't see.
So his sight won't come back
even after spawning a new eye.
In that case
[fangs squishing]
What are you doing?
Miss Sage Lain is a vampire.
Her class is Origin Blood.
The highest rank of undead.
Those who are turned vampire
by a direct bite from Ms. Lain
are granted a huge boost
in physical strength
and prowess.
[group gasps]
So even turning him
into my kin
doesn't work.
Fascinating.
[masonry rumbling]
What the heck
is going on here?
Oh no, it's him!
Appraisal complete!
Definitely Hero class.
What now?
[exciting music]
Attention all passengers,
a Sage is engaged in battle
with an Aggressor nearby.
Well then I assume
they weren't aiming
at us intentionally.
What in the world
just happened here?
[rumbling]
[Tomochika gasps]
Look, it's a robot!
That must be an "Aggressor."
An invader. I guess.
So then where's the Sage?
Maybe that speck over there?
You've got good eyes.
[power blasting]
[gunshots rattling]
Well, this won't help.
Hey, why don't you just
take them both down, huh?
But why would I?
Huh? Well, they
got in our way
So in other words,
that would mean it's okay
for me to kill anybody
walking in front of us
just for blocking the way.
Yeah, but we almost got killed
by that stray attack.
Except they weren't
actually aiming at us.
Look, let's establish
a clear-cut standard,
otherwise, I'll end up
killing people
for no reason other than
them being annoying.
Oh, sorry, I guess
it was a trickier problem
than I thought.
Don't apologize. I wasn't
being critical of you.
[power blasting]
[both grunting]
[both gasp]
[bystander] It's an Aggressor!
Run for it!
[bystanders shouting]
Hunk of junk!
Don't you run away from me!
[power blasting]
[hero grunting]
[attacks whooshing]
That was uncalled for.
I quite like this dress.
She took the brunt
of that attack
and didn't even get hurt!
No, in reality,
she's just healed
instantly from the damage.
You damn monster!
You know I'm a Sage, so why
would you want to attack me?
Heroes should be out there
defeating demon lords
and whatnot.
Shut up. Someone has
to stop your tyranny!
All sages deserve
to be wiped out!
[power shimmering]
Holy Sword Cartena!
[explosion booming]
Ariel
Well that's at least
one sage down.
How awful.
What?
Why would you attack us?
We're not part of your fight.
Huh?
You lowly fools should bow down
and express gratitude
whenever you see a great Sage!
It's irritating when
you run in panic!
You're the only irritating
one I find around here.
[power shimmering]
[somber music]
- Whoa. Did you kill him?
- I did.
I think it was
totally warranted, no?
[footsteps pounding]
[Aggressor] Wait. I bear
no hostility against you.
So, hey, is this
Ariel thing a lover
of yours or something?
How did you avoid my attack?
I didn't avoid it at all.
I'm immortal,
and moving out of the way
is a pain.
[Ein] Impossible!
There shouldn't be a
single thing left of you!
Life would be a lot simpler
if that was enough
to kill me, hero.
Ugh. Finish me off.
I don't feel like it.
[Ein screaming]
Drop down and
follow Yogiri Takatou.
Right!
[Aggressor] I wish to bargain.
I shall grant you anything
that's within my power.
Crazy, this robot seems like
it's afraid of
your ability, huh?
Sure, please tell us
how we can return
to our original world.
[Aggressor] The only
world I can return to
is the one I came from.
[Yogiri] In that case, can
you take us to your world?
[Aggressor] That is not possible
because I have not
brought my full existence
with me into this world.
Furthermore, I cannot
bring someone as dangerous
as you into my home.
I suggest you think
of this world
as being on the lowest level.
The coordinates of
your original world
and a vast amount of energy
are necessary to
climb out of it.
All right,
just give us some advice
after we find both of
those, then we'll be even.
[Aggressor] Understood.
Ms. Dannoura, is there
anything that you want from it?
My gosh, I'm not real sure.
[Mokomoko shouting]
I have a suggestion,
if I may be so bold.
[mysterious music]
What?
That's Sage Santarou
there, isn't it?
[Sion] Yogiri Takatou and
Tomochika Dannoura, you say?
I find it very hard to believe
the two of them
could defeat a Sage.
[Lain] They apparently
possess a strange magic.
Instant Death magic, was it?
But I'm positive Mr. Santarou
would already have resistance
to such a spell.
Oh? Instant Death.
[Sion] Since you wanted to talk,
I honestly figured this
would be about the darkness.
[Lain] Dealing with Aggressors
is obviously important,
but we can't overlook someone
with the power to kill Sages.
I would honestly prefer
that you didn't interfere
with any of the Sage candidates,
but perhaps if you also agreed
to deal with the Darkness
in return.
- Fine.
- Thanks so much.
[power shimmering]
[ominous music]
Masayuki.
You called?
Head for Hanabusa and
take the Immortal Corps.
Seriously?
There's a good chance
that a normal squadron
would be totally ineffective.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
So you're telling me it's okay
if Hanabusa gets
destroyed, then?
[Yogiri sighing]
- I need a little break.
This is why I told you
to let the robot carry it.
If the people here
saw us being friendly
with an Aggressor,
I think it would be bad news.
Oh, true.
They are invaders, huh?
We should've asked
for some kind of vehicle
to get around here.
Sorry to keep you!
In any case,
we got our hands
on something very useful.
[power whirring]
[Tomochika] What is this?
It's a powerful item
we got from the robot
that can freely change
its form at will.
Where did it even come from?
I had a camouflaged
as your underwear.
Isn't that ingenious?
[Tomochika squealing]
Hold up! Why are you using
a futuristic sci-fi weapon
like it's the norm
around these parts?
[ending theme]
[Tomochika]
"The World Isn't So Kind
as to Allow One-Sided Attacks."
