The Last Revolver

"Goodbye, my love."

- The killer

The Last Revolver is a song released by Akuno-P on March 8, 2010. It concerns the tragic romance between an assassin and her lover after a year together.

Plot
The assassin relates how Santa has given her a revolver and she is about to use it to kill her love. She expresses a wish to see the summer fireworks festival with him again, apologizing because it could not be so. She says that from the beginning, they were too different.

Before the confrontation, her love met the "evil" her under a sakura tree the year before. Being tasked to kill him, the Sniper laments that, while this isn't the first time she has killed a human being, it is the first time she'll fire and cry. She reminisces on how in spring they met, in summer they made "the best memories," in autumn they "became one," and in winter they "said goodbye to everything." The killer prepares to shoot him.

She says sorry at the last moment and he says something in turn, shocking her. A gunshot is heard. The killer repeats her wish to go to the summer fireworks festival with him again. She says not to worry, and that they will definitely meet again. She relates that they promised they'd always be together; then, a second gunshot is heard.

Composition
The song features GUMI using the VOCALOID2 engine. Notable instruments include, piano, drums, guitar, and synth keyboard. A gunshot sound effect can be heard as well.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The song's title references the ultimate fate of the killer and her lover.
 * The song's English title, "Good-bye my lover" references the killer's words to her love right before his assassination.

Curiosities

 * In The Daughter of Evil: Wiegenlied of Green, the incantation that Gumillia uses to conjure Michaela's spirit from the tree sapling is the first verse of The Last Revolver written backwards.
 * During the song PV, when the first shot is fired, the screen cracks and is left with a bullet hole for the rest of the song; during the closing credits, the second shot is fired and leaves a second bullet hole, freezing the two gun shots over the credits for the lover and GUMI, respectively.
 * When commenting on his official releases for 2010, Akuno-P stated The Last Revolver was not part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, likely due to speculation of it portraying Wrath in the series.
