Mysterious Beings (Anime)

* Manga
* **Anime**

These **mysterious beings** (謎の存在, *Nazo No Sonzai*) are an unknown higher form of life who created God and are the true overseers over Earth.

## **Appearance**

The appearance of these beings, if they have physical form, is never revealed.

## **Personality**

These beings are jealous of humanity's mortality. They desire death since they believe mortality gives meaning to life.

## **History**

These mysterious beings existed before the creation of God, the Celestial Realm, and Earth.

These immortal creatures wish for death. This would lead them to create God. Once God was created, he would create life on Earth, including humans, which these beings hoped that this would eventually lead to a lifeform being born that is capable of killing them. It was even stated by Gaku Yoneda that God is a weapon of genocide whose purpose is to end life.

## **Plot**

After a long time has passed of the Earth laying in ruins due to Shuji Nakaumi, as God, killing himself and destroying all life, these mysterious beings visit the remains of the planet. Upon review, they conclude that their creation has failed to produce a lifeform that is capable of killing them. The beings give up on Earth, leaving the planet completely void any of any life.

These being converse with each other on what the next step would be: if they're going to make another God or seek their creator. One of the beings points out that if everything created has a creator, then who creates the creator; all creators are also created. This would be an endless loop of 'who created that'. Solving this paradox would not help them seek death. They philosophize with each other that their eternal lives have no meaning without mortality. These beings proceed with their search of ending their lives by other means.

## **Abilities**

* **Absolute Immortality:** Unlike God who only possesses nigh immortality, these beings are truly immortal. They cannot die by any means, even though they long for death.
* **Life Force Generation:** These beings are able to create complex life forms such as Gods. It's unknown what the source of energy that God is made from is. Gaku Yoneda stated that it would take 150 years for humans to harness this energy to make a creature that is equivalent to God, the arrows, etc. and that this unknown source could be used to power the Earth.

**Margaret Thaler Singer** (Denver, 29 luglio 1921 – Berkeley, 23 novembre 2003) è stata una psicologa e scrittrice statunitense.

Professoressa presso l'Università di Berkeley dal 1964 al 1991 ed in altre università fra cui il dipartimento di psichiatria dell'Università della California di San Francisco, ha dedicato la vita allo studio della schizofrenia nonché all'analisi scientifica di molte pseudo terapie ed alle loro pericolose conseguenze sia per rispetto della serietà delle psicoterapie ufficiali sia per offrire una guida ai pazienti stessi.

Thaler Singer affronta le derive della psiche contemporanea nell'opera *Cults in our midst* edita negli U.S.A. nel 1995 (dove parla anche di quello che lei chiama "bombardamento d'amore") e nel volume edito nel 1996, *Crazy therapies: what are they?

He had a muscular build and was frequently enveloped with an angelic heavenly aura; he was drastically similar to the God that came before him.

## Personality

Nakaumi was a straightforward person. He greatly believed in the concept of euthanasia and that those who wish to commit suicide must have the strong desire to do so. When Ogaro selected him as her God candidate and gave him the power of the Red Arrows, Nakaumi used them to assist his parents and grandfather in suicide, first shooting them with the arrow then telling them to carry out their desires afterward. Before Mirai Kakehashi and Saki Hanakago arrived at the Nakaumi residence, he was also about to use the Red Arrow on his older brother who desperately wanted to die as well.

## Abilities

### Red Arrows

The red arrow has the power to force anyone who is shot with it to fall in love with the user for 33 days.

### White Arrows

Nakaumi temporarily had White Arrows as part of Ogaro and Yoneda's agreement. He used these Arrows to obey Yoneda's plans in holding Saki, Manami Yumiki, and Yuri Temari hostage by threatening to use the Arrow on them. However, he eventually gave them to Temari after being swayed to forego Yoneda's homicide plans.

## Etymology

* The name **Shuji** means "discipline, study, conduct oneself well, master" (修) (**shu**) and "nourishing, more & more, be luxuriant, planting, turbidity" (滋) (**ji**).

**Revel** (ルベル, *Ruberu*?), or the **Angel of Emotion** (感情の天使, *Kanjō no Tenshi*?), was a first-rank angel. He was one of the thirteen angels who selected Saki Hanakago as his God candidate. Before he was promoted to first-rank, Revel was a second-rank angel known as the Angel of Trickery (策略の天使, *Sakuryaku no Tenshi*?).

## Appearance

Revel had an androgynous appearance. He grew bangs with his chunky ear-length hair and secured his white locks using a golden headband. He had upside down wings that came from his hips, a golden halo above his head, and golden frilled marks on his body. His eyes were thin and he had long lashes, making him often look taunting.

## Personality

Revel was first shown to have a manipulative personality, a trait which he himself had acknowledged might be responsible for his low rank, but by teaming up with Mirai Kakehashi and Nasse, he later showed a more lively, emotive, and somehow kinder personality. He cared for |Saki and felt bad for being a second-rank angel, which prevented him from giving her Wings. She was also the reason why he hurried to become a first-rank angel.

Due to his compassion for Saki, he shed tears for her when she was determined to help Mirai and Nanato Mukaido despite her inability to fly or actively participate in battle, an unprecedented act by an angel. As a result of his tears and empathy to humans, God then bestowed upon him a first-rank promotion and the ability to give Saki a pair of wings.

Movimenti del potenziale umano

I **movimenti del potenziale umano** (**MPU**) è una definizione applicata da alcuni studiosi delle religioni a quei gruppi e movimenti coerenti con le dinamiche riscontrate nelle sette, che propongono alle persone «un radicale miglioramento delle proprie potenzialità e delle proprie capacità attraverso tecniche che non fanno immediato o principale riferimento né al Cristianesimo né alle religioni orientali».

Storicamente viene individuata la nascita di questi movimenti nell'incontro tra parti della psicologia umanista, gruppi orientalisti e scuole di formazione per manager presenti negli Stati Uniti dalla fine degli anni cinquanta.

Il rapporto *Le sette religiose e i movimenti magici in Italia* (1998) del ministero dell'Interno italiano ha soprattutto messo in evidenza la pericolosità di taluni movimenti del potenziale umano (chiamati nel rapporto del Ministero "Movimenti per lo sviluppo del potenziale" o "psicosette") e i rischi di dipendenza psicologica ed affettiva per i partecipanti e i formatori che aderiscono alle proposte formative di questi movimenti. Secondo tale rapporto, le psico-sette sarebbero capaci di provocare una «completa destrutturazione mentale negli adepti, conducendoli spesso alla follia e alla rovina economica», ed è principalmente su di loro che si accentrano accuse di «indebito arricchimento ai danni degli affiliati».

Angels (Anime)

* Manga
* **Anime**

An **angel** (天使, *Tenshi*?) is a servant sent from the celestial realm by God to retrieve the souls of humans who have passed away. Angels are able to grant humans with "freedom" and "love", respectively in the form of Wings, which enable one to fly anywhere in the world without being seen, and the Red Arrows, which enable one to control a person's heart by shooting them with it. It has been stated by Nasse that different types of angels give different abilities.

## Ranking System

There are four known levels of angels, which from highest to lowest are: special-rank, first-rank, second-rank, and unranked (also called "rankless"). Angels can be promoted to a level above them, or demoted to a level below.

The 13 angels who select God candidates must be at least second-rank. If one of the thirteen angels is demoted to unranked, their God candidate dies. Of the 13 angels, three are special-rank, seven are first-rank, and three are second-rank. Revel was a second-rank angel at the beginning of the series but was later promoted to first-rank.

The higher the level of the angel the more abilities they are able to give their God candidate. Special-rank angels have the ability to give their God candidates Wings, Red Arrows, and White Arrows; first-rank angels may give their God candidates Wings and Red Arrows; and second-rank angels may only give their God candidates either a pair of Wings or Red Arrows.

## Thirteen Angels

* **Anime**

## Appearance

Balta was an angel with messy neck-length white hair, large pair of wings sprouting from his shoulders, and a glowing blue halo above his head.

## Personality

Balta seemed to be an angel that possessed a great sense of intuition, being capable of figuring out what type of person Metropoliman was with a single glance of him. He was also very supportive and helpful toward Hajime Sokotani, always advising him on unknown occasions and never speaking ill of him. Even after his candidate's death, he remained respectful toward him and spoke fondly of him. Balta was usually smiling and cheerful.

## Plot

When Hajime Sokotani was about to commit suicide, Balta appeared in front of him and offered to help him attain the things he always wanted to have, starting with the young man's desire to speak with women, to which he offered him the Red Arrow to do so. However, Hajime felt a big disgust at the image of looking at himself kissing a girl, to which Balta correctly deduced caused Hajime hopelessness.

After two weeks, Balta watched with Hajime the announcement of Metropoliman declaring himself a hero, which caused great excitement to Hajime who marveled at how different the hero was to him, to which Balta once again correctly deduced that Hajime wanted to be like him, and popular and attractive man.

Some time after Hajime's face surgery Metropoliman announced his desire to meet the other god candidates, with Balta and Hajime observing the events that happened in the stadium. Balta suggested Hajime to use the police's assistance if he wants to find Metropoliman, since the latter is killing people as well.

It was when Metropoliman fought against another two god candidates and almost died that Hajime expressed his desire to protect Metropoliman, with Balta stating that Metropoliman most likely won't be a good God, but Hajime still didn't cared and continued to express his desire to be with Metropoliman, to which Balta suggested to look for things that would make Hajime look more like a hero.

Balta continued to help Hajime locate Metropoliman, successfully finding out he is the heir to the Joso Institute Kanade Uryu.

He then accompanied Hajime to the desert, where he would find a device that would allow him to work under Metropoliman, to which recorded footage allowed Metropoliman's angel, Meyza, finally identify him as the Angel of Instinct.
Humans (Anime)

* Manga
* **Anime**

**Humans** (人間, *Ningen*) are an organic species that is from Earth. God and the angels consider humans to be sub-celestial creatures according to their hierachy.

## Description

God left the Celestial Realm to come to Earth before life supported it. While God was on Earth, he created the first organic life. When life on Earth became stable, God returned to the Celestial Realm since he believed his role was completed and watched as species multipled with each other and evolved into humanity without his intervention.

Humans evolved to be the most advanced species on Earth. They're able to make advancements in science to make their current life and those of the future better. Gaku Yoneda stated that humanity would eventually become immortal and learn how to control space-time.

All life on Earth is part of simulation for humans to eventually evolve enough to produce a lifeform that is capable of killing an unknown higher lifeform who want to end their own immortality.
Nasse (Anime)

* Manga
* **Anime**

* Angel form
* Before creation

**Nasse** (ナッセ, *Nasse*?), or the **Angel of Purity** (純度の天使, *Jundo no Tenshi*?), was a special-rank angel. She was one of the thirteen angels who selected Mirai Kakehashi as her God candidate. Her primary reason for choosing him was to help him achieve happiness.

## Appearance

Nasse was an angel with short white hair, long wings, and big red eyes. She had a halo above her head, a golden headband at around eyelash level, and wore invisible-like clothes with gold edges on them.
Arrows (Anime)

* Manga
* **Anime**

* Red Arrow
* White Arrow

**Arrows** (矢印, *Yajirushi*), also known as "angel arrows", is a celestial ability that is used by God, his angels, and chosen humans.

## Description

The power of the arrows can be bestowed from an angel to a god candidate during the god choosing process. Once a god candidate is elected, this ability will be rescinded. However, if the elected god candidate allows it, the remaining god candidates can keep their arrows permanently.

The maximum range of an arrow is 31.6 meters. The distance that the arrow can travel can be increased to 60 meters by connecting 2 arrows. Kanade Uryu theorized that by combining 3 arrows, the distance could be increased to 90 meters, but this was never confirmed.

Once a person has fired their arrow, they cannot shoot another one for at least 2 seconds. However, if they have both the red and white arrows, then this cool down period is reduced to 0.3 seconds. Once the arrow has been release, it won't hit anybody except for the user's intended target, so they don't have to worry about properly aiming their shots.

Arrows cannot be dodged by anyone unless they have wings. Despite not being their intended purpose, Mirai Kakehashi accidentally discovered that arrows can be used to deflect other people's arrows.

Gaku Yoneda stated that in 150 years, humans would be able to make an equilvant God and arrows.

## Red Arrow

Red arrows, also called "love arrows" and "Cupid's arrow", can make any person fall in love with the one who pierced them for 33 days. While someone is under the control of the red arrow, that person cannot be pierced by red arrows from others. Once the time limit is up or the person has died, the red arrow will return to the original user. Once someone has been pierced with a red arrow, they cannot be pierced again by the same person. The user can only use red arrows on a maximum of 14 people at a time.

The one who is pierced will feel extremely compelled to please the person who shot the red arrow and follow orders they're giving. They will also adopt the host's point of view. However, if a person wouldn't do something while under feelings of extreme love, the person who is pierced may not comply. When Gaku Yoneda ordered Shuji Nakaumi to kill Saki Hanakago, he defied it because even though Shuji believes Yoneda's theory that God was made from the imaginations of humans who believe in him is correct, Shuji Nakaumi believes it's morally wrong to kill other people who don't want to die just because they have different beliefs.

## White Arrow

White arrows will kill any living being instantly who is pierced, including God and angels. Angels may use the white arrows on humans who are terminal to give them a peaceful death. Unlike the red arrows and the wings, only special rank angels can grant their god candidate partner white arrows.

The **soul** (魂, *Tamashī*) is the portion of a human being made from other worldly substance.

## Description

After a human dies, they leave behind energy that manifests itself in the form that a person took at the point of their death. The soul doesn't contain one's consciousness. Instead, it's an epicureanism soul that is a part of the body and dies along with a person's death.

When a human dies, an angel will pick up the human's soul and fly it to the Celestial Realm, then drop the soul in an unknown large body of liquid where the soul is stored. It's unknown what will happen if the soul is left in a person's dead body.

Since God created humanity, God believes that it's his responsibility to record every human's existence by preserving the moment of their death. The Celestial Realm serves as God's personal obituary archive for humans. Shuji Nakaumi, while in control of God's body, after seeing a pile of souls submerged in an unknown large body of liquid, describes them as just "copies" when questioning the angels about the purpose of the soul.

Angels don't have a full understanding of the reason why souls are preserved. Ogaro believes that souls may play a role in the angel creation process. However, this is never verified.

Gaku Yoneda correctly assumed that the soul is just an illusion created by God and that there is no true heaven or hell. He also theorized that it would take 150 years for humanity to have the capability of understanding the physics behind the matter that God, angels, souls, the arrows, and everything that exists in the Celestial Realm is made from to have the ability to produce replicas.

## Trivia

The soul is based on Epicurus's theory of what the soul is. This ancient Greek philosopher hypothesized that the soul is made from physical matter instead of being immaterial, follows the laws of physics that governs the universe, that the soul is physically a part of the body like any other body part, the body is a vessel that is needed in order for the soul to have sensation, and that once a person dies, so does their soul.

Mysterious Beings

* **Manga**
* Anime

These **mysterious beings** (謎の存在, *Nazo No Sonzai*) are an unknown higher form of life who created God and are the true overseers over Earth.

## **Appearance**

The appearance of these beings, if they have physical form, is never revealed.

## **Personality**

These beings are jealous of humanity's mortality. They desire death since they believe mortality gives meaning to life.

## **History**

Before the creation of God, the Celestial Realm, and Earth, these mysterious beings were born on an unknown planet. Their home would eventually be destroyed by unknown means.

These immortal creatures wish for death. This would lead them to create God. Once God was created, he would create life on Earth, including humans, which these beings hoped that this would eventually lead to a lifeform being born that is capable of killing them. It was even stated by Gaku Yoneda that God is a weapon of genocide whose purpose is to end life.

## **Plot**

After a long time has passed of the Earth laying in ruins due to Shuji Nakaumi, as God, killing himself and destroying all life, these mysterious beings visit the remains of the planet. Upon review, they conclude that their creation has failed to produce a lifeform that is capable of killing them. The beings give up on Earth, leaving the planet completely void any of any life.

These being converse with each other on what the next step would be: if they're going to make another God or seek their creator. One of the beings points out that if everything created has a creator, then who creates the creator; all creators are also created. This would be an endless loop of 'who created that'. Solving this paradox would not help them seek death. They philosophize with each other that their eternal lives have no meaning without mortality. These beings proceed with their search of ending their lives by other means.

## **Abilities**

* **Absolute Immortality:** Unlike God who only possesses nigh immortality, these beings are truly immortal. They cannot die by any means, even though they long for death.
* **Life Force Generation:** These beings are able to create complex life forms such as Gods. It's unknown what the source of energy that God is made from is. Gaku Yoneda stated that it would take 150 years for humans to harness this energy to make a creature that is equivalent to God, the arrows, etc. and that this unknown source could be used to power the Earth.

Kanade Uryu (Anime)

* Manga
* **Anime**

* 2018
* Metropoliman

	+ Rea Uryu (younger sister)†
	+ Unnamed grandfather†

**Kanade Uryu** (生流奏, *Uryū Kanade*?), also known as Metropoliman (メトロポリマン, *Metoroporiman*?), was the first major antagonist of *Platinum End*. He was a human selected by the angel Meyza to become a God candidate in the God selection process.

## Appearance

Kanade was a sixteen-year-old male high school student with wavy white hair, narrow eyes, long lashes, and a slim heart-shaped face. He had a slender figure.

Kanade was most often seen wearing his Metropoliman outfit, assuming his superhero identity while wearing it. None of his body or features were visible while wearing the Metropoliman suit, which keeps his true appearance a secret from the public. When he is not tending to his duties as Metropoliman, he wears the Joso High School uniform in school and an all-black outfit at home.

## Relationships

### Rea Uryu

Kanade demonstrates his love for his younger sister by decorating her room with flowers and aiding her in numerous hobbies. Despite his strong affection for his younger sister, he is seen to have an obsessive and possessive relationship with her, viewing her as "beautiful and flawless" in his own eyes. At some point, Rea notifies her brother that she began to develop feelings for a boy at school after being invited to go on a date, which causes Kanade to lose his mind, believing that Rea would be "tainted and unclean" and that their relationship will be wrecked because of her socioeconomic standing. Kanade tries to reason with her as she runs away from him and insists that he let her free. She stumbles backwards after being freed from Kanade's clutches, leading her to fall from the building and finally smacking the back of her head on a stoned step before being cushioned by the bushes. Kanade rushes to her help, yelling her name, and Rea responds that she is alright, then informs him that everything is getting dark as her pupils fade away. Kanade considers calling a doctor to save her life but determines that she would be "tainted" even more by people like them. He plans to keep her corpse in a freeze chamber so that she can remain "beautiful and pure" to him. Struggling to cope with the knowledge that he has lost his only sister, he plans to end his own life in order to be with her again, until he is met by Meyza, the Angel of Greed, who gives him the opportunity to become God and see his little sister again.

Arrows

* **Manga**
* Anime

* Red Arrow
* White Arrow

**Arrows** (矢印, *Yajirushi*), also known as "angel arrows", is a celestial ability that is used by God, his angels, and chosen humans.

## Description

The power of the arrows can be bestowed from an angel to a god candidate during the god choosing process. Once a god candidate is elected, this ability will be rescinded. However, if the elected god candidate allows it, the remaining god candidates can keep their arrows permanently. Arrows, like wings, can only be perceived by God, angels and god candidates.

The maximum range of an arrow is 31.6 meters. The distance that the arrow can travel can be increased to 60 meters by connecting 2 arrows. Kanade Uryu theorized that by combining 3 arrows, the distance could be increased to 90 meters, but this was never confirmed.

Once a person has fired their arrow, they cannot shoot another one for at least 2 seconds. However, if they have both the red and white arrows, then this cool down period is reduced to 0.3 seconds. Once the arrow has been release, it won't hit anybody except for the user's intended target, so they don't have to worry about properly aiming their shots.

Arrows cannot be dodged by anyone unless they have wings. Despite not being their intended purpose, Mirai Kakehashi accidentally discovered that arrows can be used to deflect other people's arrows.

Gaku Yoneda stated that in 150 years, humans would be able to make an equilvant God and arrows.

## Red Arrow

Red arrows, also called "love arrows" and "Cupid's arrow", can make any person fall in love with the one who pierced them for 33 days. While someone is under the control of the red arrow, that person cannot be pierced by red arrows from others. Once the time limit is up or the person has died, the red arrow will return to the original user. Once someone has been pierced with a red arrow, they cannot be pierced again by the same person. The user can only use red arrows on a maximum of 14 people at a time.

The one who is pierced will feel extremely compelled to please the person who shot the red arrow and follow orders they're giving. They will also adopt the host's point of view. However, if a person wouldn't do something while under feelings of extreme love, the person who is pierced may not comply. When Gaku Yoneda ordered Shuji Nakaumi to kill Saki Hanakago, he defied it because even though Shuji believes Yoneda's theory that God was made from the imaginations of humans who believe in him is correct, Shuji Nakaumi believes it's morally wrong to kill other people who don't want to die just because they have different beliefs.

## White Arrow

White arrows will kill any living being instantly who is pierced, including God and angels. Angels may use the white arrows on humans who are terminal to give them a peaceful death. Unlike the red arrows and the wings, only special rank angels can grant their god candidate partner white arrows.

Angels

* **Manga**
* Anime

An **angel** (天使, *Tenshi*?) is a servant sent from the celestial realm by God to retrieve the souls of humans who have passed away. Angels are able to grant humans with "freedom" and "love", respectively in the form of Wings, which enable one to fly anywhere in the world without being seen, and the Red Arrows, which enable one to control a person's heart by shooting them with it. It has been stated by Nasse that different types of angels give different abilities.

## Ranking System

There are four known levels of angels, which from highest to lowest are: special-rank, first-rank, second-rank, and unranked (also called "rankless"). Angels can be promoted to a level above them, or demoted to a level below.

The 13 angels who select God candidates must be at least second-rank. If one of the thirteen angels is demoted to unranked, their God candidate dies. Of the 13 angels, three are special-rank, seven are first-rank, and three are second-rank. Revel was a second-rank angel at the beginning of the series but was later promoted to first-rank.

The higher the level of the angel the more abilities they are able to give their God candidate. Special-rank angels have the ability to give their God candidates Wings, Red Arrows, and White Arrows; first-rank angels may give their God candidates Wings and Red Arrows; and second-rank angels may only give their God candidates either a pair of Wings or Red Arrows.

However, before she can go with them, the real Metropoliman arrives and shoots her with his red arrow, before leaving with her.

After Metropoliman has killed one of the two god candidates and taken control of the other with his red arrow, he orders Chiyo to return to the stadium so that he can start the next stage of his plan.
