My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

[upbeat music]
[truck engine roaring]
[Tomochika whining]
[tires screeching]
Seriously though, you should
be the one driving right now.
Oh no, can you believe this?
Looks like he's totally out.
I don't understand
how he can manage
to sleep through all this.
[Tomochika screaming]
[tires screeching]
[Asaka] How do
you like "Yogiri"?
Then I'm "Yogiri Takatou"?
This is a handshake, okay?
"Nice to meet you."
Now, your turn.
Nice to meet you?
[opening theme]
[birds calling]
[relaxed music]
Hmm. So this boils down to,
"Even if I die on the job, I
will not complain," correct?
Congratulations!
You'll do well.
Okay. I'm leaving.
Hold on, there. I can't
possibly send you home, now.
Is this a secret base
of some evil organization?
Of course not.
We are a respectable facility
that conducts experiments
for the good of society.
What do you want me to do?
Well, to put it simply, take
care of the deadly monster.
Huh?!
We're doing cursed
experimentations here.
[door whirring]
[screams] What is this?
[bell ringing]
A scripture.
It's meant to provide
some comfort
and helps those with what
we're doing down here.
Just where are
we headed anyway?
We're headed to your
workplace, of course.
Do you know the
term "Alpha Omega"?
Why do you think I'd
know what that means?
The beginning and end
of the Grecian alphabet.
It means "everything"
or "eternity."
It's the code name
of the test subject
you'll be taking care of.
[Asaka] The test subject
you speak of as a human, right?
[Shiraishi] I've never seen it,
so that's impossible
for me to say.
What I know as of now,
is that simply by thinking it,
Alpha Omega can kill
anything it wants to.
Excuse me?
And you want me
to take care of
a monster like that?
Well, it's because
you are a teacher.
Really? That was
the only qualification?
If this goes on,
there's a greater possibility
that humanity will perish.
- What?
- [Shiraishi] By giving it
an adequate education,
I'm hopeful we can avoid that.
But me? Why am I
the one doing this?
There are so many other people
more suitable, aren't there?
There were others,
but you fit fine.
That's too arbitrary!
[bell ringing]
[tense music]
I don't have the
clearance to go any further,
so this is where we'll part.
- What?
- Everything you'll need
are written in these
instructions here.
Hold on.
So, take it easy
and best of luck!
[door whirring]
[lock beeping]
[air hissing]
Gosh, not my fault when
humanity gets decimated.
[birds chirping]
[door clunking]
Huh?
I'm underground now?
[paper rustling]
[cicadas chirping]
Hello?
Anyone there?
Is there anybody home?
[wood rattling]
Hey
[Yogiri grunts]
Hmm?
[sheepish laugh]
How ridiculous!
Locking a kid away
like this underground.
What is there to be afraid of?
And this goes for you, too.
You're just gonna
obediently stay locked up?
[both hollering]
[water splashing]
Now you're outside! Go play!
Catch yourself a crawfish,
or a tadpole shrimp,
and get dirty!
Come on, stand up!
What are you doing? Play!
Uh, am I gonna die?
[ghost pops]
Huh?
[Yogiri] Looks like it got here
by hiding in your shadow, miss.
But what is that?
I think that it's
some kind of devil.
They come here and
try to kill me
whenever they get
the chance.
Really? And why is that?
Um, I don't mind playing,
but it'll be evening soon.
So can I do that tomorrow?
Huh?
Sorry. Guess I just kind
of lost my mind there.
Here.
I'm Asaka Takatou,
very nice to meet you.
Who are you?
I hear they call
me Alpha Omega.
No, not that name. That's
a code name they use for you.
Your real name.
Before I came here,
I believe they
called me Lord Okakushi.
But more importantly,
I'm hungry.
[stomach growling]
Sounds like I'm a
little hungry, too.
Wait a sec, am I supposed
to do the cooking?
[Yogiri laughs]
[Asaka groaning]
Uh-uh, no way.
[water dripping]
But I gotta make something
before he's finished
with his bath.
Ooh.
What is this?
Um, just go ahead and
eat it while it's hot.
[wood snapping]
This is yummy. I've never
tasted anything like this.
All right, then.
Let's start with a name.
What did your mom
or whoever call you?
My mom?
You know what? Nevermind.
How about I just pick
something out for you, okay?
Yeah!
Hmm.
[dog barks]
How do you like "Yogiri"?
Then I'm "Yogiri Takatou"?
Why in the world would you
choose to take on my last name?
Because I thought you
put that kind of thing
after your first name.
Yes, but when did
we become family?
Although I guess you don't
know that either, huh?
Okay, from now on then,
your name is Yogiri Takatou.
Nice to meet you.
This is a handshake, okay?
"Nice to meet you."
Now, your turn.
Nice to meet you?
[tires screeching]
Nice to meet you.
[Tomochika] Takatou, wake up!
[yawns] What? What's wrong?
It's a dead end!
You slept surprisingly well on
this treacherous drive, huh?
I used a huge amount of
my ability in Hanabusa,
so I'm thoroughly
pooped out right now.
- So tired.
- Hey, don't you dare
go back to sleep!
Oh dear. Even the Dannoura
School of Driving can't compete
with things crumbling
here and there like this.
That's not the slightest
bit helpful right now, is it?
By the way, why was it
that we have to go to the royal
capital in the first place?
You're kidding! Couldn't you
have asked that before we left?
Our goal is to return
to the world
we were in before being taken.
And in order to do that, I
need to contact Shion the Sage.
If that's all we want,
then there may
be another way of doing so
without going to the capital.
Maybe, but it looks like all
of our classmates
are headed that way.
[Mokomoko] Hmm, it seems
best to go back a little bit
and find another route for now.
Yes, obviously.
[truck crashing]
Something's there!
[dragon roaring]
[tense music]
[Tomochika screaming]
That's a dragon, huh?
[dragon roaring]
Die now.
[power chiming]
[intense music]
[gasps] Takatou, over there!
Huh?
[Tomochika] A whole lot
of them are headed this way!
We're definitely
in enemy territory.
[dragons roaring]
[fire crackling]
Oh no. They're coming
at us with fire this time!
In that case, all of you, die.
Ugh, this looks like
a bug spray commercial.
[sighs] What is
up with all this?
If this is the
dragon's territory,
then we're at fault for
unknowingly entering.
[both] Huh?
That's huge!
A Golden Thunder Dragon
is coming right at us!
[light playful music]
[upbeat rock music]
[electricity crackling]
We're royally screwed.
It's totally gonna
throw down lightning.
No, I don't sense hostility.
Maybe it's just checking us out.
You pass.
[whimsical flapping]
- What now?
I'm not too sure,
but it looks like it's leaving.
Wait a second!
Since you can understand,
I won't let you leave.
Stop! Otherwise, you'll meet the
same fate as the other dragons!
It can fly without
flapping its wings?
[Atila shudders]
If only I'd flown away
quietly without looking.
Why did that Golden
Thunder Dragon from before
turn into a tiny little girl?
It's a thing that happens
a lot in isekai worlds.
Why did you attack us earlier?
I wanted to test out
if you were qualified
to see the Swordmaster.
Swordmaster? What are you
talking about?
What are you saying?
You mean you didn't
come all this way
to see the Swordmaster?
We didn't. We just wanted
to go to the royal capital.
[Atila screaming]
[clears throat]
The great and wise Swordmaster
resides here in this very gorge.
He will bestow
the Gift upon you.
[Yogiri] If that's
what this is about,
then it has nothing
to do with us.
[Atila gasping]
For real.
Go.
Please don't leave here, yet!
He told me to bring him
some promising young
candidates to see him.
I'm not interested
in being a candidate.
I'll have you know,
the Swordmaster
is one who rivals a Sage.
Hold on, a Sage?
If that's true of what she says,
then he might have information
about how to go
back to our world.
But we can't afford
to take another detour
when we're already
completely lost.
Wait, you don't know
how to get there.
Well, I know what to do!
I can show you where
you need to go.
If you meet with the
Swordmaster,
I'll bring you to the capital!
My name is Atila.
Nice to meet you.
Atila, Atila, the Swordmaster's
over there!
[laughs]
[relaxed music]
We're here!
There are a lot of
people around here.
Who the hell are those guys?
I didn't know you
could get here by car.
Everyone here is a swordsman
who's aiming to become
the next Swordmaster,
and today we are choosing
the next Knight
of the Divine King.
Are you trying to drag us
into some sort of trouble?
Nice job getting here, but
you losers are disqualified.
[Urabe] We haven't started yet,
so there's nothing to disqualify
anyone.
Well, if you can't
even make it here,
then you're gonna have bigger
problems than this trial.
[crowd chattering]
- Whoa, it's the Swordmaster!
There's a lot of you.
Alright. Start killing each
other until I say stop.
Huh?
If there aren't less than
half of you left
10 minutes from now,
then everyone standing
here fails the test.
I don't care about
losing, so can I leave?
What did you say?
Hmm, then if anyone
escapes from this place,
everyone that came here fails.
Huh?!
All right, everyone get to it!
[sword slashing]
[body thudding]
You've gotten used
to this, haven't you?
Well, it'll take
more than this
to make me scream my head off.
[weapons clanking]
[warriors shouting]
This has gotten to be a pain.
Die!
I guess I have to kill them.
No, I will protect you two!
[sword slashing]
You folks don't understand
the intentions of a Swordmaster.
This trial is to see
if you are able
to take correct action,
not only as a knight,
but as a true Knight
of the Divine.
He looks like a
pretty decent guy.
And it seems
he's quite skilled
with that sword of his as well.
[magic whistling]
This intent to kill.
Die now.
[bodies thudding]
- What?
What in the world was that?
Well, um, the thing is,
you see, uh-
I get it!
The Swordmaster punished
the insolent ruffians!
Yeah, that.
So, hey, I heard
you happen to just
be passing by.
It may be inconvenient,
but would you two mind
joining me for a while?
Sure thing.
[moans] Help me!
Get me that stone, please!
I swore you were dead earlier!
That rainbow-colored
stone in front of you.
Put it in my hand!
What?
[Lynel] That one! Yeah!
This?
[Lynel moans]
It's an apology stone!
[magic shimmering]
[smoke blowing]
[Lynel sighing]
What?!
Gosh, you really
saved me there.
What just happened?!
Stop! We're moving.
Come with me.
What do we do?
You need to participate
in the Swordmaster's trial.
You told us we just had
to meet the Swordmaster.
If you two become
Knights of the Divine King,
then that means I can
become your loyal follower.
Please, I'm begging you!
Well, we still
haven't gathered
any real useful information yet.
This just keeps getting
worse and worse as we go on.
Sorry for the
late introduction.
You can both call me Rick.
Or, that's what you can
call me while we're here.
Why do you say it like you're
some incognito celebrity here?
I'm Lynel, by the way.
I'm only here because
a friend invited me.
Mr. Rick, what exactly
is the Divine King?
You really have
no clue, do you?
Let me tell you then.
The Divine King is
the one who handles
the gods who have been sealed
away, or what we call "demons."
A thousand years ago,
the Dark God
was sealed away by the
Divine King's own hands.
Is he a threat even
though he's sealed away?
He is.
In order to once again
revive their dark master,
his followers are always active.
I'm a bit curious, Lynel.
- Hmm?
- What was that stone you had?
[chuckles] This is an item
I received as an apology.
It can heal me
from serious injury
and I can try my luck
with a gacha pull.
Who's sorry?
And just what did they do?
My luck has always been bad,
and because of that I've
had all sorts of misfortune.
Last time,
I was made a sacrifice
of a mysterious organization.
When I thought it
was over for me,
a goddess appeared and
I got an apology stone!
This got way off topic.
Are people's fates something
that gods or whoever
can just influence?
It depends on who.
After all, there
are people like you
who are protected by
guardian spirits, yes?
What's a "gacha"?
I get one pull with three,
and with 30 stones
I get 10 pulls!
Want me to show you?
[Lynel yelling]
[triumphant music]
It's a scrub brush!
See, and that, my friends,
is how I can exchange the
stones for a random item.
That seems like
a bad pull, though.
Wait, don't you only
have three stones left?
At midnight I get
new apology stones
depending on the
misfortunes I had that day.
[Tomochika sighing]
[Lynel gasping]
They disappeared?
'Cause there's a barrier.
Just keep going,
don't worry about it.
[gentle music]
[gasps] What on earth is this?
Oh no, you should
walk away immediately!
What's wrong, Miss Mokomoko?
Do you not notice
this bad miasma?
Something sinister
lies ahead of us.
[Lynel vomiting]
Are you okay?!
The bad miasma's got him!
I don't feel
anything upsetting.
That's because
I'm protecting you.
It has no horrible effect
on me that I can tell so far,
but it seems unbearable
from Mr. Lynel here.
[magic shimmering]
My stones provide me
a resistance to miasma.
Is it really that easy
to use those things?
Are you okay Takatou?
Huh?
Um, I'm fine.
Huh?
Hmm. The miasma
has dissipated.
You sure about that?
Huh? Hold on, where's Atila?
She's not anywhere
around here.
She may have been
stopped by the barrier.
Only participants are
allowed to move forward.
Whoa, it's super spacious
inside this place, huh?
Hurry and get in here,
or you'll be left.
[elevator creaking]
An elevator?
Is this some kind of
super fantasy tower?
I'm glad we don't have
to climb this with stairs.
[bell ringing]
[tense music]
Come close and take a look.
[Rick] Oh, that can't be.
[Urabe] This is the end
of the world.
You see something?
In the center of the
solidified monster
is a man in black and
a woman in white.
It looks like they were frozen
as her sword went
straight through them.
That's the Swordmaster
and the Dark God.
What?
It's no surprise that this
world shall end one day.
A Swordmaster truly amounts to
nothing more than a lookout.
If we beat those guys, that'll
solve everything, won't it?
- Ms. Frederica?
- You know her?
She's the one who invited me.
I can't believe she came here
with the intention of
defeating the Dark God.
Self-confident,
aren't you, then?
Your duties are over
as of today, old man!
I'll let you live the rest
of your short life in peace.
Sunburst Flare!
[fire roaring]
Now it's all over
for the Dark God
and those pathetic spawn.
What?
[barrier buzzing]
Inside the barrier,
you'll find that time
flows a lot slower.
It may be several hundred years
before that attack
reaches the Dark God.
[Frederica groaning]
And so, the knight selection
test will now begin.
She will describe all
the details for you.
The goal of
this particular test
is to go from the roof
down to the first floor
of this tower within 24 hours.
So does that mean
then, I'll fail
if I jump from here
and land on the ground?
You must accumulate 100
points inside the tower.
Really? How very tedious.
Has she always
been here with us?
She wasn't with us
on the ground.
[hostess] Several special
participants will be added here
as you begin your journey.
You think you'd be
able to beat them
with your ability, Takatou?
Oh yeah. You've got no
reason to kill them.
I feel like that's
what you'd say.
So listen, Takatou
[awkward groan]
Hm? What's wrong?
It's just, back when that
miasma was particularly bad.
Actually [whispers]
[Tomochika gasping]
What the?!
[ending theme]
[Tomochika] "I'm Not So Rude as
to Complain After Being Saved"
