My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

1
- You think you'd be
able to beat them
with your ability, Takatou?
Oh yeah, you've got
no reason to kill 'em.
I feel like that's
what you'd say.
So listen, Takatou
[dramatic music]
Hm, what's wrong?
- It's just, back when that
miasma was particularly bad,
actually
- Huh?
What the?!
[opening theme]
[gentle music]
[magic burbling]
- All right,
let's just hurry down.
- Yeah yeah, let's do that.
[Lynel] Hey, wait!
[Frederica] Stop
right there, Lynel.
- Hm?
Miss Frederica?
- Give me the
Apology Stone, now.
I need it to replenish my magic.
- Okay, but the Apology
Stones only work on me though.
[grunts]
- You're utterly useless!
[stone shatters]
God, that loser is always
slowing me down!
- We should probably
both head out as well.
- Uh?
[dramatic music]
- We owe our thanks to the
people who went ahead of us.
Looks like the monsters
and traps
have been taken care
of for the most part.
We just need to make
sure we don't activate
the remaining traps
on our way down.
[Lynel] Right! [screams]
- Mr. Lynel!
- I'm sorry.
I truly have the worst luck
ever experienced.
[grunts]
Ah.
- Since this happens,
why not always have
one or two in hand?
- Yeah, great idea.
I'll do one better and
attach it to myself.
[whimsical music]
Now then, let's move
forward through the tower.
- Wait a second,
something's inside.
[door clatters]
[Lynel screams]
Mr. Lynel, no!
[dramatic music]
- [Teresa chuckles]
- Lady Teresa, what's this?
- I'm not fond of that judgy,
holier-than-thou look
you're giving me, Mr. Rick.
This is how we get
points, you know?
- As a former
Knight of the Divine King,
why are you even
competing in this?
- I accidentally
killed too many people.
So since I've been
stripped of my lofty title,
I took the opportunity
to try again.
- Everyone get out of here now.
- [gulps] But we can't.
A thin wire's been strung
up all over the place!
- Lookie there,
you've got good eyesight.
- Don't worry,
I'll keep her at bay.
- A truly great swordmaster
would never let weak little
tramp like you survive!
Because at the end of the day,
a knight of the Divine Kingdom
is the strongest knight of all!
[laughs]
[Rick] If strength
were the only standard,
then you would not have lost
your title to begin with!
[Tomochika] She's strong.
Mr. Rick is also
quite the master.
- [Teresa continues laughing]
- But this Teresa,
she gets a kick out
of pulling her punches.
- Die now.
[magic whooshes]
[Teresa thunks]
- Huh?
[Tomochika shudders]
- Hey, can somebody tell me,
is this Lynel's left hand
with the stone in it?
- Oh my dear divine goddess!
Wait a sec,
is he dying somewhere?
[Lynel] Put the stone
in the hand I still have.
- I knew you were
off dying somewhere!
- Congratulations on
reaching the 98th floor.
The entirety of this floor
is a safe-zone.
We also have some sleeping
accommodations.
- I think we should go
off and do our own thing
from this point on.
We're still fighting with
others here, after all.
- I agree with you.
This trial is more rigorous
than I could have imagined.
However, are you
certain you're okay?
- Yeah, we'll be just fine.
- Same here!
If I wait 'til midnight, then
I can replenish my stones.
- Understood then.
If you're sure about it,
then I shall go on ahead.
Best of luck to you.
- And I'll do the same.
I would like to get
a room please.
- Of course, right away, sir.
- 'Kay! Bye!
[door clatters]
- You wanna rest?
- I'm sorry, I'm afraid we
have only one room available.
- Takatou, keep in mind,
Miss Mokomoko is here
with us as well.
- Don't worry about me, deary,
I'll hide quietly in the wall
and stay out of your hair-
- How am I supposed to
relax in here?
- Mm.
- Oh, Takatou?
[belt jingling]
Eh. [mutters]
[playful music]
Uh.
[Takatou breaths deeply]
[Tomochika grumbles]
- This trial,
I actually died 15 times,
but I finally made it.
It's time!
[message dings]
All right! Eh
[triumphant music]
100 Apology Stones?!
A guaranteed ultra-rare gacha?!
Yes! Mine!
[Lynel yells]
[triumphant music]
Will it be a weapon?!
Or a partner?!
[ringing music]
- Hey there.
- Um, what exactly is going on?
[goddess giggles]
You're the goddess that sent
me to this world, aren't you?
[goddess giggles]
Are you, maybe,
gonna be my partner?
- Oh no, sorry. I'm just here
to see how you're getting on.
- Huh?
- I updated your
random save point.
So now, no matter how many
times you die in this tower,
you'll start from here.
- You've gotta be
freakin' kidding me!
This place is way
to dangerous for that!
- Toodles.
[playful music]
[Lynel groans]
[Swordmaster] What is this?
- Many points of concern
has arisen.
[Swordmaster] Oh?
- The number of deceased
does not match
the number of souls
in the tower.
- That isn't something
we need to worry about.
The second barrier
can still easily deal
with the necessary amount.
- Yes, also, we will need
to replenish the half-demons
that were used for the
first barrier fairly soon.
- Oh.
[birds chirping]
[explosions blast]
- It isn't very nice to attack
someone out of the blue.
- You're here to recruit me
to your cause, aren't you?
- We've been instructed to kill
all those that go against
the recruitment.
I have to make sure I
have the right guy first,
so I'll confirm.
You are Rikuto Saitou, right?
- A magic eye,
how very annoying.
Even I have the power to
see a name, Aoi Hayanose.
[magic blasts]
- Tentacles, huh?
A Just World then.
[magic rings]
Also known as "a cruel world
where only effort
is ever rewarded."
[Rikuto gasps, yells]
[magic blasts]
[Rikuto shouts]
- [shudders]
How are able to use
the same technique as me?
- If you can do it,
obviously so can I.
Perhaps you haven't come to
realize that possibility?
- Shut up!
Eat this!
Burial Flame!
- What the hell's happening?
- "The power received
from the almighty
hand of God for free
may also be taken away
at his whim."
Perhaps this is a thing too?
- [grunts] I guess
then lucky for me,
I didn't get this from God!
- Since that sword of
his has a high luck stat,
I can't interfere using
my own ability.
[Rikuto yells]
[dramatic music]
But all I have to do is make
sure not to get hit by it.
[Rikuto grunts]
[blade slices]
[blood spurting]
[body thunks]
[sword clatters]
[dagger] Hm, what's this?
We got a message.
- Looks like our next job.
- What?
[dagger] The targets
are the Sage candidates,
Yogiri Takatou and
Tomochika Dannoura.
Head to the city of Hanabusa.
- Sage candidates, really?
Do they seriously need me
to handle those?
No time to even catch my breath.
[Hanakawa] Please wait for me!
- Huh?
[Hanakawa yells]
[footsteps screeching]
I am Daimon Hanakawa!
As I was roaming around
a super-dangerous zone
in the Forest of Beasts,
I was taken in by Rikuto
and somehow managed to live.
But since you have just killed
him for who knows what reason,
there's nothing I can
do around here anymore.
- What is this?
- I beg you, all-powerful woman,
please make me your
humble man-servant!
- [dagger] What a funny creature.
- I'll literally do anything!
Just don't leave me!
[light playful music]
[upbeat rock music]
[rooster crows]
[Tomochika mutters sleepily]
[Mokomoko] Tomochika!
Will you please wake up now?
Boy, this goes for you too!
Please wake up!
Oh. [shrieks]
- What are you saying?
Morning already? Huh?
[gasps]
[Takatou breathes sleepily]
[Tomochika screams]
Hey, Takatou!
- [Mokomoko shrieks]
Are you finally awake?
- Come over here, come this way!
- What are you
Please help me! I can't
move a single inch further!
[Tomochika screams]
- Miss Mokomoko!
Why are you halfway
stuck in the wall?
- Well simple, because after
the two of you went to bed,
I saw the boy suddenly
throw his arms around you,
half asleep, and I thought it
would be rude to interrupt,
so I took the hint
and tried to disappear
nice and quiet-like,
- but I was too curious
- Right
- and this is what
happened when I tried
to sneakily take a peep at you.
- Couldn't fully commit
to peeping, huh?
- It seems as if they're about
to gather all the spirits
and souls of the dead in
this tower for some reason,
so there's quite a bit of
suction in the walls and floors.
- So you're telling me you
were stuck the whole night?
- Yes! Correct!
- [Takatou grumbles sleepily]
- Ah, are you awake, boy?
Please will you do something to
help me?
- Let me see then.
Maybe I should kill
the suction mechanism
that's holding you.
- [screams] It's sucking me!
It's sucking me!
- We weren't together
for all that long,
but you've had an unforgettable
effect on me, dear ancestor.
[Mokomoko]
Don't abandon me so easily!
- Wait a second-
- Help!
- I'm zoning in on a target.
- Come on, boy! [screams]
[pop]
- She flew out!
- Looks like it worked, huh?
- Oh my dear, I thought I was
going to die in that wall!
- You've been dead
for a long time though.
- So scary!
But what in the world
could they be gathering
souls of the deceased for?
- There's another reason
for this trial
besides what they say,
most likely.
- Miss Dannoura
- What's up?
- I want you to steel yourself.
- You want me to what?
- Because I'm going to
outright kill anybody
who seems remotely
like an enemy.
- Hasn't it been like that
the whole time?
- Well, I've always done my best
to avoid killing unnecessarily.
But here, all participants
seem to be ready and willing.
I can't afford to hesitate.
- Way ahead of you.
I've got nerves of steel.
- Huh?
- When you use your
ability to kill like that,
I consider it as if I'm
the one who has done it.
I've always felt like that.
[Takatou sighs]
I'm not so rude as to complain
when you save me like that.
- You know?
- That's right.
The daughter of a warrior family
is not one to take lightly.
- Although, it'd be nice if you
could keep it all to a minimum.
[Takatou grumbles]
[gentle music]
- Um, anyways,
I'm really hungry.
I fell asleep without
eating anything.
- Oh right. Should I give
room service a call then?
- Mm-hmm.
[water burbling]
[wind blowing]
[tense music]
- Please, Mistress Aoi,
let's run away.
- Huh? Why should we?
- Correct me if I'm wrong,
but your power makes cheat
abilities ineffective.
This means you can't beat
a dragon, right?
- These kinds of things
are simpler than that.
[dragon roars]
- [Hanakawa whimpers]
- There's no way a creature
that huge can fly, is there?
[dragon roars]
[Hanakawa shudders]
"Just World" is an ability
that can change a phenomenon
to be just as I believe
it to be.
[Hanakawa] That's like
a super cheat!
- That isn't quite true.
If my opponent has a high
luck stat, I can't use it.
- Oh really? Is that so?
- Uh oh, I wouldn't get
close if I were you.
- Oh dear God!
Heal, heal me now!
[ringing magic]
[shudders] Did you only
render it unable to fly?
- Yeah.
[dragon roars]
[Hanakawa screams]
All I can do is
beat it down, huh?
[slice]
- What?!
[blood spurting]
[weapon swishes]
[upbeat music]
- What?
The Aggressor, Hedgehog.
- What's it doing? Do you
think it's gathering intel?
What are you doing?
Why are you behind me?
- Since you're so large
of a person,
it's the perfect place
to conceal myself.
- Oh yeah, just casually
insult me and call me fat.
[blood spurting]
[magic warbles]
[Aoi gasps]
[Aggressor whooshes]
So that means
we're saved, correct?
- For a split second
after that monster left,
I saw a tower.
It may be trouble, but I
think we should go there.
- There's no need for
us to do that, Mistress.
- I'm gonna need
you to be useful
and go find Yogiri Takatou.
- No, I never wanna see Lord
Takatou in my life ever again!
I'm positive he'll kill me.
Let me go!
Please Mistress Aoi,
don't do this!
[Tomochika]
We're halfway through now.
So far, I'd say things are
going pretty smoothly
for us, huh?
- Truthfully though, I feel
a little sorry for them.
We've gotten all the
way down here
because I've killed the tricks
and riddles along the way.
- Don't you think it's bad
form to cheat in a trial?
- Huh? Where'd you pop out from?
- I am the creator
of this tower,
so I have the ability to
emerge from anywhere I choose.
- Isn't that way more unfair
than what we just did?
- Do you understand
how I feel as a creator
who racked his brain to come
up with a multitude of riddles,
only to have them bypassed?
- Yeah, but we're just looking
to get out of this place.
- Impossible.
This great tower exists
for the sole purpose
of maintaining the barriers
that conceal the Dark God.
It would be a problem
if it were destroyed.
- If you let us out, I
won't mess up anything else.
- And you expect me to
just take you at your word?
Moreover, what if you
were to be used
by the spawn of the Dark God
for nefarious purposes?
- Eh, you're so
incredibly annoying.
- So I've been told,
but more importantly,
my name is Eglacia.
People of this land
call me the High Wizard.
Listen to me now. The choices
I'm going to give you are-
- Die now.
- [Tomochika shudders]
[Eglacia thunks]
- Wait a minute!
He kinda seemed like he
was some kind of VIP here.
- I had to, he was
going to kill us.
Let's get moving.
[Tomochika groans]
[doll 1] The division
of the mana pathway
and the first barrier around
the tower are unstable.
The door closing mechanism
and trap devices are
malfunctioning.
[Rick grunts]
[intense music]
[doll 2] Number 97, congratulations.
You have 100 points.
[Rick sighs]
[Rick grunts]
[upbeat music]
[Lynel] P-please go easy on me!
[Frederica] Those
things are an easy win.
- Mr. Lynel!
- Oh hey there,
I met you on the roof
earlier, didn't I?
- What's going on?
- What, this?
I'm just helping
him out a little,
since he hasn't got any
points whatsoever.
[warrior yells]
[Lynel grunts]
[sword clanks]
[Lynel whimpers]
- You've gotten stronger!
- [grunts] Yeah, I got
some descent equipment
from doing ten gachas straight.
[trainees grunting]
- Where are we now?
A stadium?
[fighters grunting]
[upbeat music]
The swordsmen are
fighting each other.
[fighters grunting]
- Ouch!
- You know aiming for the head
isn't a very nice thing to do!
[Theodisia gasps]
- Shiro, you can tell, right?
Her sword attacks are really
nothing all that special.
- Maybe even I can beat
her, huh, Master Masaki?
Isn't that right?
'Kay! Here I go!
[shouts]
[sword clanks]
Hey, no fair! Don't just
go and dodge my attack!
- How can she say that when
she swung like an old lady?
- If you ask me, the other
person seems clever though,
doesn't she?
But what will we do, huh?
- That really has nothing
to do with us.
And I'm not so sure that
I wanna stick around.
- Yeah, where's the exit
for this place?
- Okay great,
can you get serious now?
This isn't the time to use
your power on a disguise.
- Since you figured me out,
then there's no point
in my holding back.
- Oh wow, I see. You're
one of those half-demons.
- I'll have you all squared away
before the other
swordmasters find me.
[dramatic music]
[Theodisia yells]
[Shiro screams]
[dramatic music]
Huh?
Huh?
What?
[dramatic music]
- I can move around a lot faster
without a sword dragging
me down, you know.
[Shiro laughs]
[Tomochika] Doesn't seem like
this will end anytime soon.
- In that case
- Um, excuse me?
- What?
- Would you mind if I
get through here, please?
- Huh?
- Takatou, will you
read the room?
There's a fight to the
death unfolding right now!
- You two there,
what's your deal?
- We're not gonna
interfere with you.
So can we get through?
- No way. Why don't you
join up with us instead?
Unfortunately, my pupils
aren't gaining any points.
- There's no point in fighting.
The two of us together
have maybe-
- Six points in total.
- Then that means you've
gotta fight, don't you?
[Yogiri] We don't
wanna get any points.
- I'm enjoying the sport of
this trial like it's a game.
I'm not going to let
anybody just quit.
- And you?
- You mean me?
I don't really care
what you all do.
I'm already gathering
lots of points.
- Well then it's perfect if
we do a three-on-three, yeah?
If you beat my girls,
then I'll let you pass.
That rabbit over there is Shiro.
The big one is Geralda.
The pipsqueak is Ema.
[dramatic music]
- I'm having some major doubts
in your so-called
bargaining abilities.
What is even going on here?
This is crazy!
- That guy is the type
who's too full of himself
to listen to anyone else!
- You're having a bad time, huh?
If the other two are as good
as or better than the rabbit,
I'd say there's little
chance of us winning.
[Masaki] Ah, right,
Shiro is the weakest one.
She's built like a rock,
but her fighting is amateur.
Ema specializes in sword arts,
and Geralda in magic.
Now, I'll save the half-demon
woman and that girl for later.
Keep them alive, regardless
of their condition.
[Ema] Then I'm just
going to kill the boy?
[Masaki]
I've always thought that
good-looking men should die.
[group] Understood.
- Shouldn't we do something?
- Right. Die.
[bodies thunk]
[Masaki gasps]
My friend and I can
pass now, right?
[Masaki gasps]
[footsteps patter]
- [groans] You think
I'd just let you pass?
[power shimmers]
[Tomochika sighs]
- Liar.
- What?
- Hey! Hold on just a sec.
- Huh?
- You did this, didn't you?
[Tomochika mutters]
- I did.
- Then I apologize for
such a rude request
But please, will you both
help me with something?
- Um-
- Well, what now?
- Don't make me decide
this for you.
I guess we could at
least hear her out
[gentle music]
