"Good-bye my lover."
―Nemesis Sudou[src]


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

Plot

Nemesis Sudou relates how Santa has given her a revolver. As she points the gun at her beloved, she prepares to say goodbye. She then expresses a wish to see the summer fireworks festival with him again, apologizing because it could not be so. Nemesis 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 and that they became attracted to each other. Being tasked to kill him, Nemesis laments that, while it 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.

When the killer prepares to shoot him, Nemesis 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 then tells him 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. For the version on the The Muzzle of Nemesis album, the song remains relatively unchanged, with the exception of synthesizers. A real piano is used instead.

The song begins with an opening instrumental, followed by its signature melody at 0.21. The first verse begins at 0.48, followed by a pre-chorus at 1.01. The first chorus starts at 1.09, preceding a brief instrumental beginning at 1.40. The second verse starts at 1.52, reaching the second pre-chorus at 2.02. The second chorus begins at 2.11, and immediately opens into the bridge at 2.38. At 3.06, the sound of a gunshot can be heard. A variation of the chorus begins afterwards, followed by the second gunshot at 3.49.

Lyrics

サンタさんがくれた
実弾入りのリボルバーを
目の前に立つあなたに向けた

さよなら 愛しい人

もしやり直せるなら
また二人で夏祭りの花火でも
見に行きたいね
ゴメン そんなこと
もう無理だってわかっているんだ
最初から二人は
全て違いすぎたから

桜の木の下で
「悪」の私が出会った
あなたは「正義」側の人でした

それでも 好きになった

人を撃つのはこれが初めてではないけれども
泣きながら撃つのは初めてかな
お願い 悪いのは全て私なんだから
そんな優しい顔をしないで

春に出会い恋に落ちた
夏にいっぱい思い出作った
秋の夜にひとつになった
冬にすべて終わりを告げた

撃鉄を起こし 指を引き金に
人差し指が 小さく震える
私は最後に「ゴメン」と言った
あなたは最後に…

もしやり直せるなら
また二人で夏祭りの花火でも
見に行きたいね
心配しないで きっとすぐに会えるからね
ずっといっしょにいようねって
いつも言ってたもんね

SANTA san ga kureta
Jitsudan iri no RIBORUBAA wo
Me wo mae ni natsu anata ni muketa

Sayonara itoshii hito

Moshiyari naoseru nara
Mata futari de natsu-matsuri no hanabi demo
Mi ni ikitai ne
Gomen sonna koto
Mou muri datte wakatte iru n da
Saisho kara futari wa
Subete chigaisugita kara

Sakura no ki no shita de
"Aku" no watashi ga deatta
Anata wa "seigi" gawa no hito deshita

Soredemo suki ni natta

Hito wo utsu no wa kore ga hajimete dewa nai keredo-mo
Nakinagara utsu no wa hajimete ka na
Onegai warui no wa subete watashi nanda kara
Sonna yasashii kao wo shinai de

Haru ni deai koi ni ochita
Natsu ni ippai omoide tsukutta
Aki no yoru ni hitotsu ni natta
Fuyu ni subete owari wo tsugeta

Geki tetsu wo okoshi yubi wo hikigane ni
hitosashiyubi ga chiisaku furueru
Watashi wa saigo ni "gomen" to itta
Anata wa saigo ni...

Moshiyari naoseru nara
Mata futari de natsu-matsuri no hanabi demo
Mi ni ikitai ne
Shinpai shinai de kitto sugu ni aeru kara ne
Zutto issho ni iyounette
Itsumo itteta mon ne

Santa gave me
A revolver containing live bullets
That I directed at you standing before my eyes

Good-bye my lover

If we could start over
I’d like the two of us to go see
The summer fireworks festival again
Sorry, I already know
Such a thing is impossible
From the beginning, the two of us
Were all too different

Under the sakura tree,
You met the "evil" me
You were on the side of "justice"

But still, I fell in love with you

Although this isn’t the first time I’ve shot people
It’s the first time I’ll shoot someone while crying
Please, this is all my fault so
Don’t have such a gentle face

We met and fell in love in spring
We made lots of memories in summer
We became one one night in fall
It all came to an end in winter

With the hammer cocked, finger on the trigger,
My index finger slightly trembled
At the end, I said, "Sorry"
At the end, you...

If we could start over
I’d like the two of us to go see the summer fireworks festival again
Don’t worry,
We’ll definitely see each other soon
We said that we’d
Always be together no matter what, right?

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin

  • The song's title references the ultimate fate of Nemesis and her lover. 
  • The song's English title, "Good-by my lover" is derived from Nemesis' words to her lover right before his assassination.
  • While commenting on the song's creation, mothy stated that he had wanted to portray a female hitman.[1]
  • The revolver used in the song PV is based on the design of a Smith & Wesson Model 60 revolver.[2]

Curiosities

  • In the Evils Forest booklet, Ma comments that they didn't know the whereabouts of the last collectible, questioning if the song was a clue to learning it or simply an error.
  • In The Daughter of Evil: Wiegenlied of Green, the incantation that Gumillia uses to project 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.[3]
