When watching TV...
... watch in a well lit room ...
... and stay away from the screen as far as possible.
That's great, girls!
What's the matter?
Why did you call me to come to this place?
Impossible!
That's right.
The numbers changed again.
The probability that The Children will carry on the path of the devil increased.
It can't be.
That predicted future...
Administrator!
I told you before, didn't I?
That gun...
Minamoto-kun...
What you need right now is the power and determination to protect the future of The Children.
You can't just turn a blind eye.
If you do...
...you will lose to destiny.
They're getting...less and less effective.
These wings flap brilliantly and strongly
As I met you while you were walking
Living just to live didn't seem like enough.
I made a small vow and overcame time
So that I could change our future
Limiter (changing myself)
To liberate you (changing yourself)
An angel's shine surges forth
'Wings' that can save this world
Now I walk down the path I chose
Although all I can find are illusions (But I won't stop.)
Divine Power rushes down
From the skies to me
These wings flap brilliantly and strongly
Because they're absolutely lovely, my wings.
A Summer Day's Dream! Tomorrow's Feelings!
It hasn't changed.
It's nice and clean as always.
I'm home.
Predictable, Kaoru.
We didn't want to reunite like this though.
Long time no see, Aoi, Shiho.
Don't give us that!
Minamoto-han even went to New York looking for you!
I know.
I came to see you two today.
I thought you'd come here as well.
You really thought we'd follow you...
...join PANDRA, and fight the normals?
How?
There were strong anti-ESP devices installed.
There's too much rubble.
I can't teleport like this.
I'm glad you two came.
We've been best friends since childhood.
Some "best friend" you are!
See what I've seen, what the normals have done to the espers they hate.
Don't do that!
She's no longer the Kaoru we knew.
She hasn't even shown that old man perverseness once.
I didn't change, I just outgrew that!
I too...
...would have given anything to keep living,
like that.
Man, all the new first years are cute.
You'd never think they'll turn into full bodied adults.
What's with the old man act?
Well, she's been like this since she was little.
But, now were 5th graders.
Still, it's not like Kaoru changed.
You're right, they haven't grown at all.
Just like before.
You really haven't grown in the least!
Seriously, Kaoru.
Groping is bad.
Oh, Minamoto-san, did you get the sweets?
What's that?
Cake?
It's for our celebration, right?
No, this is...
Isn't it kind of plain?
It's a normal snack.
Is there a problem?
Don't keep expecting stuff.
Even if we do, it doesn't change anything.
There's no love in it!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
If you're going to complain, I'll take it back.
Give it!
But for tomorrow, you must certainly do better.
How annoying.
I said I won't.
I got those sweets for you, so I'm going to bed.
Wait, what about tomorrow?
What's with him?
Was this really...all right?
But, what the administrator said...
They won't stay children forever.
So what then?
No matter what happens,
I must...
..protect them.
Is this?
Hello, you three.
Congratulations on passing.
You've gotten a little closer to adulthood.
Major Hyobu?
He's a little different then usual.
A little?
Oh, this?
That's strange.
This was recommended by my comrades.
What? I don't want that clothing.
You want to go in a student uniform?
Just wear it!
And I got those two to be my drivers.
And I'm wearing every kind of limiter.
Today, I'm just like a regular normal.
But, I did bring a bodyguard with me.
Is this him?
Momotaro.
Yeah, you really brought a tough guy with you.
Yeah.
But I'm really the ally of you lovelies.
So I'll always stop this lolicon.
We might hold you to that.
Hey.
Good thing you came.
See, you've got nothing to worry about.
I really wanted to celebrate your growth.
You'll come with me, right?
Well, we'll come take a look, at least.
Where do you want to take us?
To a great place.
Come on, get in!
Kaoru, Aoi, Shiho.
Is this... the great place?
Isn't it just an amusement park?
Don't like it?
I even went and rented it.
No, but it's so normal.
Yes, this is where normals come and play.
The problem is...
...that we're not normal.
Huh?
They've been really noisy about ESP lately.
You girls can't come here and play.
Am I wrong?
Well...
Mom, I want to go with Sis!
Why do only you get to go?
Mom, sis.
Don't worry.
It's not your fault.
Father.
The people over there are really dangerous, and they'd kidnap you at once.
You don't want to be around them.
Dad.
So, where do you want to play?
To be honest, this is my first time too.
I want that!
I want the Game Center!
I...
W-Wait for me!
Don't fret, don't fret!
Is that...?
You still have that?
But...
Yeah...
Right...
There's no way we'd return it, after all we went through.
Well, let's not bother with details.
The Children, release.
Round and round, in the merry-go-round.
After that there's still loads to to.
Today is special: amusement park, BABEL and PANDRA action!
Zettai Karen Children!
But isn't this what we normally do?
How about that?
Wait, no!
Don't worry!
You'll feel good in a second.
No, no, no!
Teleporting Shadow Clone!
My eyes getting dizzy.
Isn't that overkill just for the high score?
You're amazing.
Hey, shouldn't we get back soon?
Minamoto-san might be worried.
He's still sleeping.
You're so cold.
Not having fun?
The amusement park is fun, but not with you.
We'd much rather be here with Minamoto-san than you.
It's not nice to talk about another guy during a date, Empress.
What's with that name?
Kyosuke, I'm hungry.
Actually...
Me too.
Right, there's no staff here.
Shall we go eat?
I'll take you to whatever place you want.
Really?
Is this her weakness?
But I think we still have the food made by Minamoto-han in the fridge.
Well then, how about this?
Sounds like fun.
As expected from Queen Kaoru.
Seriously?
I was kidding.
W-We're home.
I'll set it up, so wait here.
Thank you.
We wouldn't want to wake the host.
Keep it quiet, please.
I haven't been here in a while.
That's not what you should say.
Should we eat that?
What's this?
Stew.
Shut up...
We're all children at heart.
Hey, everyone! It's three children, right?
Did you prepare this?
To be honest, it sure has a pleasant feel.
But Minamoto-han's cooking tastes much better.
If you're complaining, then go home.
I didn't mean it in a bad way.
I wanted to say that I enjoyed the taste.
Wasn't bringing him here too much?
But you two weren't that opposed to it.
Well, I kind of went along.
I can hear you.
I am very similar to you.
Didn't Fujiko-san tell you?
Before you girls came, I was a special esper as well.
We were called the Super Ability Military Squad.
That's what BABEL was in the past.
You mean...
Igo-ojiichan was...
...Kyosuke's comrade?
The missions right now are different though.
We used our powers for our country.
Why are you bringing this up now?
A horrible war broke out.
So we became weapons.
But even so, we thought we were doing the right thing.
At least we had our comrades.
We believed in them.
Did you see that, Fujiko-san?
That was the commanding one.
Fujiko-san!
Sorry, I got hit.
The others will...
Don't.
They can't leave until they finish.
Then I'll take you myself.
I should be able to.
Yes.
But you see, not all of our squadron were espers, and we were at our limit.
We realized that we could not change anything in this world.
We have lost this war.
We have no path left to take.
No way.
This isn't a real war anymore.
The Super Ability Squad is gone, and you're the only one left.
I will fight by myself.
I can at least bomb the enemy HQ.
It's fine.
Your fate has already been decided.
Decided?
The end of the war, and the next destruction wave.
What's that?
A prediction system.
We recovered it from Okinawa.
It provided us with a premonition of the future.
People with super abilities will multiply.
And you shall be their leader, and destroy the world.
What are you talking about, Captain?
Had we known this, we never would have created a monster like yourself.
You're kidding, right?
Your role fighting alongside humans is now over.
I'll take this chance and kill you, before you become our next enemy.
The next enemy?
Monster?
So that's it...
In the end, I'm just...
Congratulations.
Now you are released from your duties.
All your comrades too, they're still at war.
Impossible!
I'm... a monster.
And then, all my abilities were awakened...
Huh?
You're not eating?
Weren't you hungry?
Who could eat while listening to that story?
It's not the same.
If that person were like Minamoto, then you'd have been...
You think?
He's a normal.
If the time comes, whose ally would he be?
Mi...
Minamoto-han!
Girls...
Have you seen my glasses?
I can't see anything.
They should be...
What are you doing?
Sorry.
I just...
Hey.
Sorry for intruding.
How could you, Goddess?
Major...
You look like a stalker.
What?
Was someone there?
Who cares?
I hear Shiho in the bathroom.
Minamoto-san, save me!
Shiho!
Now's your chance!
Roger.
Damn you, Aoi-chan.
How could you?
I didn't tell him that we ate all the food yet.
You don't have to tell him.
Thanks for everything, take this!
Don't need it!
Actually...
Exactly.
I can turn off all my limiters.
I was afraid she would notice, with her psychometrics and all.
If you...
If you hurt Minamoto, I'll never forgive you!
That's why I'll wait patiently.
But can't I at least tease him?
You can't!
Minamoto is a great guy!
He's not like other normals!
Everything...
Everything changed for us when he came!
I love you and your abilities.
The man who shot me, told me the same thing once.
They're all the same.
You're lying!
I'm not.
I just want you...
Minamoto isn't like that!
Like hell... he is!
Kaoru?
Such a simpleton.
Seems like you won't listen to words alone.
Hey, what are you saying?
You stay back.
Kyosuke...
Are you sure?
If you can't overpower me, your precious friends might be in danger.
Why you!
Psychic Leg Drop!
Too weak.
Psychic Iron Hammer!
Damn it!
Psychic Hundred Simultaneous Strikes!
Did your powers only grow this much?
Psychic Aegis Shield!
You won't be able to protect your dear Minamoto like that.
Kyosuke!
Not just him.
Aoi and Shiho, and all your dear friends.
If you stay like that, one day...
Psychic Flying Razors!
What?
Kaoru, what was...?
I increased my power by concentrating.
You're the one who taught me that.
I don't hate you.
But!
Major!
But, if you ever lay a hand on Minamoto...!
Amazing.
You've grown more than I thought.
Kyosuke, you did that on purpose.
It wasn't my intention.
I get it.
I'll go home now.
But...
Please don't forget, Kaoru.
The one's you'll really hurt are them, not me.
We'll play again.
See you.
Stupid Kyosuke.
Tomorrow is...
...the one year anniversary of when I became your supervisor.
Oh, you remembered.
I'm back!
Kaoru, what were you doing this late?
Here, you need these.
My glasses?
Where did you...?
Hey, didn't you get us a present?
It's nothing flashy, but I do have something.
This.
A music box?
It's a calming song.
It has a picture frame!
Let's take a picture tomorrow.
Take it now, not tomorrow!
Now's good!
Kaoru?
But I'm all wet.
Whatever.
Minamoto!
Since you'll never know...
...what will happen tomorrow.
We'll at least hear you out.
But don't expect anything more.
I understand.
Thank you.
Summer is the time you have to find the dawn of everything...
Minamoto-san!
Tell the chief that I'm going out for a little bit.
I'll be back by five.
Understood!
Take care!
Yo.
Could you give this to the children?
Since you didn't seem to celebrate their growth.
What's wrong?
You won't shoot?
You naive, unknowing fool.
Figure it out, boy.
Just how happy you are right now.
Treasure it.
The future is getting closer and closer, Minamoto.
What the...?
Just me?!
Rest until the damage heals.
You don't have to come.
Too bad.
It's not like we'll need you to fight Black Phantom.
Zettai Karen Children, episode 48: Power Struggle! An Invisible Threat!
We're absolutely lovely, so we can't lose!
