My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
[ominous music]
[Lain] Yogiri Takatou's ability.
I am testing the limits
of his reach
and what he can and
cannot do, Euphemia.
Mistress Lain?
However, what I
want to know most
is if he can kill me.
[Euphemia gasps]
[opening theme]
[car horns honking]
[people panicking]
Where did all of
these zombies come from?
Their movements
look kind of slow,
so I think it's possible to
escape if we move cautiously.
[Tomochika] Shouldn't
we help the people though?
[Yogiri] It's pretty
doubtful that we can save
the city in this situation.
It's better for you to
not be concerned with them.
You should get out
of here immediately.
[hand pounding]
- Masayuki,
why the hell did you come
here in the first place?
The running and management
of this city
was left entirely to me by Lain.
You don't have to
get so angry, Ryouta.
The Sage candidate
era is under Lain.
We're comrades who survived
the same battles, right?
Yes, but you already
died and became an undead.
So now I want you to
round up the walking dead
and get them
the hell outta here.
I'm doing this all
under Lain's orders.
Mistress Lain?
Just submit and hand over
the key to the city.
[Ryouta growling]
[Ryouta] What in the
world are you trying to do?
Nothing you need
to worry about.
[megaphone squeals]
Zombie time's over!
[people panicking]
It stopped!
[Masayuki] Check one, two.
Can all you people
of Hanabusa hear me?
The name's Masayuki,
follower of Lain the Sage
and commander of
the Immortal Corps!
I'm searching for a
man named Yogiri Takatou
and a woman named
Tomochika Dannoura.
Bring them to the central
plaza within one hour.
Dead or alive,
doesn't matter to me.
If you don't bring 'em,
the zombies are gonna
start moving again.
Running away is pointless,
got that?
The barriers around the
city have been locked.
That leaves you
two choices here.
Either get Takatou to and his
friend to me,
or become zombies. [laughs]
Hey, Masayuki!
You didn't say anything
about hurting the people.
You idiot.
Do you think they would
actually hunt them down
if I just asked them nicely?
[Ryouta growling]
Does he have any idea
how much I struggled
to get Hanabusa to this point?
[civilian 1] They're over here.
[civilian 2] Catch 'em!
They may be worse
than the zombies.
We have to run
so they won't find us.
But right now we can't
even use the train.
I mean, why are we even
being pursued anyway?
Hmm.
Well, we did kill a Sage.
I guess thoughtlessly
killing others
does have its drawbacks.
- Found them!
- Oh no!
[civilian]
Then let's take 'em in!
We can bring them
even if they're dead!
Well, that certainly
didn't take them long.
Come near us and I'll kill you.
There's no time. Hurry!
I'll take 'em both out.
[yelling]
[power shimmering]
[body thudding]
[both gasping]
I've never seen
such a gross way
of carrying out a promise.
They're coming closer with
the intention of killing us,
but it's weird that they think
they won't be killed themselves.
[gasps] Or maybe,
they're instigating because
they think I can't
kill a normal person.
In that case, I'm pissed
at that Masayuki guy.
That's just rude of him.
I wonder then, can we
negotiate with him directly?
[ominous music]
[crow cawing]
[shudders] This is the
most fantasy-like view
I've seen in this world
since we've been here.
Hm?
Are you Masayuki?
You're looking for
the two of us, right?
What?
You're Yogiri Takatou
and Tomochika Dannoura?
That's right.
You came all the way here
to present yourselves?
You idiots are boring as hell.
Are you trying to
sacrifice yourselves
for the good of the townspeople?
You know you're
out of your mind.
Wait, hold on now, let's be
a bit more fair about this!
Then what do you want?
You realize if I kill you now,
the game's over
and that's no fun!
We want to get on the train
and head out to
the royal capital.
Could you please
get rid of the barrier?
We would really like
to use the station.
Huh?
[veins popping]
Hey, hey, hey!
Are you an idiot? Is that it?
You know good and
well you aren't in
any position to be
asking for favors!
This is true. I guess we need
something good to offer up.
Okay, here's the deal.
I'll let you live. Even
though you're a bastard.
[growls]
You're outta your mind!
You want to die right now? Huh?
Go, finish them off, now!
My Immortal Corps
are an army of the dead!
There's the way you can kill
the already deceased, you fool!
[Masayuki laughing]
Die.
[Masayuki laughing]
[bodies thudding]
What?
[Tomochika shudders]
What's this?
My Immortal Corps just
You gotta be
freaking kidding me.
Huh?! Wait, I'm the feudal
lord of this area,
Ryouta Takahashi.
I promise you, I have nothing
to do with this incident.
How in the hell did you
make the undead die?!
I don't really get
that part either.
Although, even if you
say they're dead and all,
since they're moving,
aren't they actually alive?
You were ignoring that the
whole time and now you answer?
But that's just absurd!
How do you kill something
that's physically dead?
[Yogiri] Because I'm the one
that gets to decide what's dead.
What?
If they're moving,
then they're alive.
If they stop, then they're dead.
It doesn't matter what
you guys think about it.
Son of a bitch!
Lain, you jerk face!
Did you know about this crap?!
All of your allies
are dead. What next?
You got Instant Death?
I find that to be
highly improbable.
[Masayuki groaning]
[screams] What's
going on with him?
Is he transforming?
A werewolf. No wait, a bat man?
[Masayuki howling]
[Yogiri] Die.
[body thudding]
At least be nice
and let him transform!
Why should I have to wait
for the most eager guy
we've encountered to transform?
Huh? Well, it's just
something you do.
Besides, we were
gonna negotiate.
Now what are we gonna
do about the barrier?
That's not a problem.
Right, Mr. Ryouta?
Right. Yes.
I beg you, please don't kill me.
I don't plan to do
anything to you,
and I don't want any more
damage done to the city.
Understand us, we're only
doing this to protect ourselves.
Please listen and
don't get angry.
It seems that Lain the Sage
ordered Masayuki
to find you two and
do away with you.
What? Wasn't that Sage's
name Sion, though?
[Ryouta] Mistress Sion
is also a Sage,
but this city and
its surroundings
are under Mistress Lain's
control.
As her subordinate,
I look after this area.
What? We were forcibly
called here by Sion
and told to become Sages,
but this time a different
Sage named Lain
wants to kill us instead?
That's crazy!
I haven't heard
about that situation.
But interfering with
Sage candidates
is not something I do.
[Mokomoko] Boy.
I'm aware of it.
Huh? Of what?
To put in the simplest terms,
a type of spiritual manipulation
that is being directed
at this area.
Of course, my dear,
we are guarding against attacks
aimed at you, though.
- To kill.
- [both] Huh?
It's coming from
all directions
and heading towards this plaza.
[ominous music]
It's not a zombie this time.
It's the people of this city?
Oh no. Hey, wait!
If they're using spirit magic,
then the city barriers
will keep you safe.
[metal clinking]
What? It's not working.
It can't be!
- What's wrong?
- No way.
Mistress Lain is directly
manipulating the barrier?
Please, Master, this method
is extremely dangerous.
Yuuki Tachibana had
his hostility traced
even from this distance
and was effectively killed.
Euphemia, how much of
a threat do you surmise
this Yogiri Takatou is?
He may be above a Sage, a
Swordmaster, or mythical being.
It's not a good idea for us
to get involved any further
with this Takatou person,
Master.
So you're saying to run?
That is not an option.
But
After knowing my abilities,
she's seriously concerned
about my safety.
In other words,
she thinks that kid
is quite the
formidable opponent.
[moans] Can you maybe
attack the source
of the manipulation?
This may be a bit different
from Tachibana's case.
They were linked through
his lady servants.
Die now.
[body thudding]
[intense music]
Die.
[bodies thudding]
Die.
[bodies thudding]
It's like she's testing us.
We've experienced something
like this before, too.
There was a guy that tried
lots of things to see
what I could do.
There's no end
to these attacks.
What should we do then?
If I just want to end it,
I can do it any way I want.
[Ryouta panicking]
It's hard for him to see
ordinary citizens
dying right in
front of his eyes.
Mr. Ryouta, you need to
move a little more this way.
Are you sure?
Now then, at this rate,
if the Darkness is
going to enter the city,
- now is a good time.
- What?
If not directly,
then indirectly.
Unintentional carnage.
We can cause an event that
will result in their deaths.
[magic rippling]
Huh?
[intense music]
[light playful music]
[upbeat rock music]
[tense music]
Mistress Lain,
what in the world are
you doing with yourself?
Even if this body winds
up burned to a crisp,
I have a restoration ability
that can revive me instantly.
I see no problem if I use that.
Go into the sky and increase
your number as you see fit.
[magic rippling]
Wow.
[gasps] Be careful.
The hostility just got stronger.
It's like the air is dry.
Um, what is that?
[Ryouta gasps]
[dramatic music]
[Ryouta] An Aggressor.
The Darkness.
Is this the reason why
Mistress Lain is close by?
[people panicking]
If that thing gets to us,
does everything it
touches turn to dust?
That Aggressor is
coming this way.
[Ryouta] What the hell
am I supposed to do?
[Lain] The copies have no
memory of Yogiri Takatou,
so there's no way they'd
have any intent to kill.
What happens from now on
will be a natural disaster.
Copies, you see
the Darkness, yes?
When it exhibits any abnormal
behavior, then rush the city.
What counts as
abnormal behavior?
Let me see. When the Darkness
makes any sudden move to attack.
Otherwise, when the
Darkness has died.
Hey, Takatou,
do you think you can do
something about that as well?
Yeah, I probably can.
I thought so.
No matter how you slice it,
if you don't know what that-
Wait, you can?!
Are you sure? Great.
If there's anything I
can do, then tell me.
So please help us!
Yeah!
I have a bad
feeling about this,
but even so, I can't just
leave things as they are.
[power shimmering]
Die!
[intense music]
[electricity crackling]
[Yogiri gasping]
[magic whistling]
Hit the ground!
[explosions booming]
[Tomochika screaming]
[tense music]
[Tomochika] Um, what? Is
that the Darkness's attack?
No, I killed the Darkness.
Apparently it's
somehow blending in
with the Darkness's
bloodlust and attacking.
Is it trying to level the
whole area all at once
with no particular target?
I think it's been
watching what I can do.
- [Tomochika] Um, Takatou?
- Hmm?
I think I'm okay now,
so can you move your head?
Oh, I was wondering
what was so soft.
Can you quit with a
Hollywoodesque embrace
and do something about
this disaster already?!
We're not embracing,
this is very much one-sided!
It's easy for you to
tell me to do something,
but I have no idea what deadly
thing will come flying at me.
Huh?
Um, I'm seeing something
that I'm finding
very hard to believe.
- What?
- [Tomochika] A woman wearing
a red dress is coming down
from the sky in massive hoards.
[Ryouta] If it's a red dress,
that's Mistress Lain!
What is she even doing?
[Yogiri] This is
Lain's attack, then?
[Tomochika] Can you
take care of her?
Since she's not aiming for me,
she isn't a target
of the counterattack.
And the Lains coming toward us
are so fast I can't find them,
so this is a countermeasure
against me.
All the women in the
sky look the exact same.
Just how many Lains are there?
She's most likely splitting.
Mistress Lain's
regeneration ability
can easily produce
numerous copies of herself.
In that case,
I can do something.
Hmm?
It'd be a lot simpler for us
if she aimed directly
at me though.
But what can you do
if you're targeted?
[speaker] Attention,
all citizens,
please evacuate to a
shelter immediately.
[intense music]
My class is Mayor.
I can get a bird's-eye
view of the city.
I've been watching the
damage for a while now,
but there's a pattern
to the attacks.
It doesn't attack
the same place twice,
and consecutive attacks aren't
made close to each other.
Even though she's trying
to do something at random,
she's inadvertently made
something consistent.
Then we can narrow it down
to where the next point will be.
[Ryouta] We should wait.
Over here will work.
Okay, then I'm
gonna head that way.
Please, let me help you!
If we're all inside the city,
I can teleport us all together.
Hold on, Takatou,
I'm coming as well.
It'd be safer for you to find
a place to hide, Ms. Dannoura.
I'm the one who can see,
so we have a better
chance if we're together.
Hey, boy! I also have a sneaky
little something up my sleeve.
[both] Hm?
[Mokomoko laughing]
[explosions booming]
[tense music]
[wind whooshing]
The rest is yours.
[wind whooshing]
[intense music]
[explosions booming]
[Tomochika gasping]
It's here!
[intense music]
[Yogiri] Die.
Miss Mokomoko!
Right!
[magic shimmering]
[explosion booming]
Hmm?
[magic shimmering]
[sighs] That was hard
to do off the cuff.
Nearly gave myself
a heart attack.
Yeah, I thought
it was rather sturdy,
but I had no idea just how
sturdy without testing it out.
- What's that?
- I got this from the Aggressor
a little while ago.
[Tomochika] It's usually
worn under clothing,
but with Mokomoko's spirit
power,
it can transform into a
shelter or suit of armor.
The shape can be freely set,
and it's also quite
handy in form,
- and it's called a "Furemaru!"
- Furemaru?
It's short for
flexible material!
Are you sure you're
from the Heian period?
Pardon me, but wouldn't
you agree that defeating
all of the copies is just
a drop in the bucket?
I think I hit the bullseye.
Pretty sure we're good.
[tense music]
How can an
immortal vampire die?
[Euphemia] What in the world?
My copies have been destroyed.
Since they were created
using the same template,
they've all been
soundly defeated.
We really shouldn't have gone
after that kid with his
Instant Death ability.
I'll just have to make copies
that each differ
ever so slightly
from the original settings.
[magic ringing]
[Lain gasps]
My body, it can't be.
My main body in another
dimension is dead?
By what logic is
this happening?
What has he done to me?
[gasps] Mistress Lain!
Wait, this is the point.
This is how I'm going
to save that girl.
[Tomochika] The attacks
have quieted down.
[Mokomoko] Looks like
we did well, somehow.
Let's head back to Mr. Ryouta.
We can then secure the transfer.
You're right.
I think we should get away
from this place as
quickly as possible.
Mm-hmm.
[ominous music]
[flames lighting]
I'm in a coffin
like a vampire.
Hmm? [gasps]
[hologram shimmering]
Oh.
You watching this footage
of me right now before you
means that my scheme ended up
being a resounding success.
I died, and you
ultimately survived.
First, let me explain
your true identity.
You are me.
Huh?
You are a copy made from me,
but you are also
a separate person
who did not inherit any
of my previous memories.
That is to avoid the
attacks of Yogiri Takatou.
[gasps] Yogiri Takatou,
you say?
I can't thank you enough.
You saved us.
Well, even though
you're thanking us now,
we only managed to beat
that Sage by killing her.
That's perfectly fine.
I care not for
someone like that.
Once again, thanks so
much for everything, Mayor.
Goodbye. Be careful.
Maybe this is one of those
instances
where a boy should be driving.
You think so? But I
always crash into the walls
on the curves in racing games.
Um, right. I'll drive
for us, thank you.
Oh, I hope I can do this.
[Mokomoko] Oh, don't worry.
I'll initiate you into
the Dannoura School
driving technique,
so just leave it to me.
Can you quit with
that cheap act
of attaching the
"Dannoura School"
to everything you say?
Whether it's a tank
or a helicopter,
you'll be fully versed
in how to drive it.
Never sell the
Dannoura name short.
Seriously?
What in the world is my
family doing with that skill?
[engine revving]
Okay, go!
Come on, you guys,
say something!
Feels like I'm the only
one enjoying myself here.
You got this.
[Tomochika growling]
[Tomochika]
That was veryinspiring!
[loud crashing]
[Asuha] Ryouko,
it went that way!
[Ryouko] I'll take care of it!
[monster roaring]
[energetic music]
[sword slashing]
[sword glistening]
[energy shimmering]
[all giggling]
Nicely done!
A worthy member of the samurai.
Alright, that's enough
for today, girls.
[crickets chirping]
[people chattering]
[Ryouko gasps]
Who's there?!
Oh, hello there, Ryouko.
Ms. Carol S. Lane.
Please get permission
before coming in here.
Huh? My smartphone?
When did I lose that?
I came to give it back to you.
That's very kind of you.
But how-
Actually, I secretly came in
and took it when
you weren't looking.
- You what?
- The battery's gonna die soon,
so I brought it back.
What are you doing?
Nothing really.
I just wanted to see
the Takatou monitoring tool,
but it was impossible.
Who the hell are you?
I'm an American ninja.
That's a class in
this world, right?
Or maybe you're-
Since we can't return
to our world right now,
there's no need to
keep secrets anymore.
I don't understand.
If you guys were monitoring him,
then don't you have
a monitoring tool?
Oh, we had prepared
a special satellite
exclusively for Takatou that
was always watching him,
but it has no use
in this world at all.
[Ryouko sighs]
[phone chiming]
[Ryouko gasps]
Huh?
How can this be?
[phone beeping]
The first door is opening?
[ending theme]
[Tomochika] "Alpha Omega"
