comment
Freshly graduated from middle school, Mirai Kakehashi has only one wish: throwing himself off a roof to end his miserable life, having been treated as a slave for years by his foster family after his parents died in an accident. And jumping off a roof he does… but his guardian angel, a young-looking girl called Nasse, doesn't want to let him die and saves him just before he hits the ground. Nasse has one goal: making Kakehashi happy, no matter what.After which she gives him two powers: the wings of "freedom" (the ability to fly at light-speed) and the arrow of "love" (the ability to make anyone love him for 33 days). Little does he know at first, he is only one of 13 humans, each chosen by an angel in a competition to choose the new God. Kakehashi soon realizes that these angel powers can be scary, and that not everyone is as scrupulous as he is in their use.Platinum End is the latest collaboration of Obata Takeshi and Ohba Tsugumi, the writer/artist duo behind Death Note and Bakuman。, which was published in Monthly Jump Square from November 2015 to January 2021. An anime adaptation by Signal.MD with Studio Pierrot as part of the production committee, which will run for 24 episodes, began airing in October 2021. Platinum End's ending has gained far more notoriety than the manga has relevance.Tropes related to the characters should only be listed on the character page.

Artistic License – Biology: Kakehashi kills the virus in Fuyoko’s bio weapon with the white arrow. Viruses are nonliving, and therefore, cannot be killed. Although, it’s possible that the literally supernatural power of the arrow terminates all processes even remotely lifelike.

Our Angels Are Different: Physically, they mostly fit the traditional appearance of an angel (young-looking and slender, with wings and a halo, bathed in light), but as said above, Nasse at least doesn't seem to see anything wrong with stealing or even killing people if it's out of retribution.

Downer Ending: The new God fails to complete fusion with Shuji and ends their life. Everything dies, including the universe. However, beings of even higher power than the one said to be God remain, unable to die, but able to create another God to continue making life, though they give up on the lives that have vanished.

Cruel Twist Ending
 Platinum End (Manga) / int_a4cd4fc6
comment
Cruel Twist Ending: The penultimate chapter and even the beginning pages of the last are at least somewhat nice, with the new God and angels watching over humanity and the surviving cast continuing on with their lives. The last chapter, however, has the new God observing human suffering, questioning his own existence if both immeasurable sorrow and inequality coexists alongside joy and the previous God did very little during their tenure, and kills Heaven, Humanity, and himself when he's under the belief that only taking himself out will destroy the heavens but not affect Earth.

comment
Hero Ball: Nakaumi, under orders of Yoneda, threatens to kill Yumiki, Temari & Hanakago with a White Arrow, and it's quickly found out he's been hit with Yoneda's Red Arrow. It would seem that Nakaumi has the advantage, as none of the ladies have White Arrows. However, the series has made it clear that anyone with Angel Wings can outrun a White Arrow, which all three ladies have. Second, Red Arrows can deflect White Arrows, which all three ladies also have. Lastly, God Candidates are still susceptible to physical damage, and Nakaumi is a middle school child with no protective clothing. Between these three facts, a decision could have been made to escape, or to engage Nakaumi in combat, either of which could have worked. However, instead the three ladies allowed themselves to be captured, setting up the final confrontation between Yoneda and Kakehashi.

Bystander Syndrome: Enforced onto the angels chosen for the God Candidate trials. Only being able to help them by giving them the wings and arrows required for the challenge after saving them from death. With any direct interference punishable by either demotion or outright erasure. Nasse briefly ends up both demoted and partially destroyed when she saves Kakehashi from being killed by Yoneda.
