When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV.
Remember, when you watch TV...
When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV. Turn on the lights...
When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV. and sit back from the TV!
When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV.
Great job, girls!
Kiritsubo.
Sir?
Even now, you insist that The Children are safe?
Yes.
They're still just children and little mischievous, but...
That's not what we're discussing.
It's the future that we in the government fear.
Look at this!
The devil probability has climbed 15% in barely two months time!
But the angel probability has drastically increased as well...
Aside from that, there's this photo. Data analysis shows...
that there is a 92% probability that it shows Kaoru Akashi 10 years from now.
What's that smoke in the background?
And why did Hyobu Kyosuke have it?!
Unknown.
In any case, The Children are national treasures!
No, at this rate, they're turning from national treasures into a national threat.
Th-Threat?
Then you're saying that we don't need Level 7 espers?!
Who cares what this graph shows?!
We have to protect those girls! Believe in them!
I believe that's directly linked to changing the future!
Excuse me. May I say something?
There's no point in debating it like this.
Besides...
What if I proved to you that The Children are a benefit to this nation?
If I do that, you'd have no complaints, surely.
Right?
Prove?
Strongly, gallantly, I beat my wings
Zettai Karen Children
Meeting you like I did
Wasn't just so we could live
Tiny wishes, cross through time
And surely change the future
When my limiter (changing myself)
Is released (changing yourself)
An angel's shining surges through me
The "wings" that will save the world
Now I'm on the path I chose
And I want to grab my dreams (Can't stop)
The power given to me
Spurs me into the sky
Strongly, gallantly, I beat my wings
Absolutely lovely, my wings
Wow! It's pouring!
The forecast was totally wrong.
Let's wait for Mr. Minamoto to pick us up.
It's okay. My house is close, so...
But we go the same way.
Okay, but I'll hold the umbrella.
Sharing an umbrella!
Meeting us with one!
That wouldn't be so bad.
But he's coming in a car, right?
Oh. Right.
Darn it, what's the point, then?
I've come to meet you, Princess Children.
An elephant?!
Your Majesty, what are you doing?!
41st sense: "Marital Vows! His Majesty's Children!"
Huh?!
A prince?
Yes.
His Highness Crown Prince Bhatura the 17th of the Imparahen Kingdom.
His Highness is a level 7 esper.
In short, anticipating your powers, he came here to ask for your assistance.
Assistance?
It's very simple.
I'd like you to persuade a certain esper in my country.
Persuade?
If you come with me, I will explain.
Time is of the essence.
Huh? We're going to Imparahen?
This is a problem with concerns Japan's national interests as well.
While the Imparahen Kingdom is the world's smallest nation,
it's the largest exporter of rare earth metals to us.
Not to be difficult or anything...
but please do as I say.
Or we'll stop exporting, you son of a bitch.
You speak softly, but play hardball with your diplomacy.
So, that's how it is.
Honestly, there are a number of elements about this mission that concern me...
We will give you riches, land, or even the titles of princess in return!
I beg you to help us in our hour of need!
Princesses?
I can't allow this!
Of course we'll help a friendly nation!
Right! Right! It's, um... Mutual assistance!
He's kind of low-class, but please pay him no mind!
Are you sure we should have let the director set this up?
Well, she's going with them, so...
The ratio of hot guys to women in Imparahen is really high!
Now I just need to get a spa treatment.
Can you get me some exclusive cosmetics from the duty free shop?
In that case, I'd like some Nannel perfume!
Okay! Okay!
My unease only grows!
Yeah...
For crying out loud!
Don't they understand? This is important!
And what does he mean by "persuading an esper"?
If this turns dangerous, the Japanese government...
might not be able to intervene for diplomatic reasons.
Not to mention...
At this rate, they're turning from national treasures into a national threat.
The Children will be fine.
Director.
I'm more reliable to have than an escort fleet and bombers.
I had an acquaintance here, once upon a time.
However...
However?
The problem here is that the prince totally outclasses you...
in the money, status, and looks department!
Huh?!
Don't lose!
Don't let him get a hold of The Childrens' hearts!
Get into this tuxedo! Use this pheromone cologne!
I don't need pheromones to escort children!
They practice polygamy here!
And there's no age limit on marriage in the royal family!
Those girls could actually end up as princesses!
This is why I hate this woman.
Granny!
Mr. Minamoto!
Oh, my!
So, how does it look?
You two are adorable!
Hey! Come on, Kaoru!
I'm not ready for this!
I've never worn anything like this before...
Hair extensions!
The prince's personal hair stylist put them on her!
He said he wanted us treated like real princesses.
H-How do you like it, Minamoto?
Yeah... It looks nice.
I was just a little surprised. I just see you as young girls, so...
We're not playing dress-up!
Idiot.
It's easy to hurt a girl's heart. Watch what you say.
B-But... You don't really prefer being princesses to having Minamoto, right?
Well...
The thing about girls...
is that they're happier being loved than to just love, right?
It's different if someone can stop our tears.
Start stopping their tears, right now!
Could you please not play along with their childish games?!
Darn it!
So, here you are.
You're the espers Bhatura brought here?
Are you okay?!
How impudent.
You thought you could restrain me, since you're Level 7's, too?
"Too"?
A Level 7?!
An energy mass.
Is she using psychokinesis to attack with it?
But she also just teleported!
I don't know what's going on here, but we'll take you on!
Kaoru, wait!
Then fight me and die!
You!
It's been a while, Masala.
Huh? You know her, Granny?
Even now, you're still...
ticklish down here?
Agh! Fujiko! Don't! Stop!
Stop that!
What are you doing in front of children?!
God, I knew it was you as soon as I saw your powers.
But you looked different 50 years ago.
By any chance, are you?
Yes, Fujiko, dear. I am now...
Grandmother!
Please don't possess anyone outside of the barrier!
Great. It's the killjoy.
You're dead, is that clear?!
I knew it.
Allow me to explain.
The Imparahen Kingdom has used ESP to maintain itself since ancient times.
We're a small nation, and the way we keep...
from being absorbed into the neighboring empires...
is by using our esper shrine maidens as advisors to the royal family.
Along with something else.
It's thanks to the Sage's Statue.
This is crystallized rare earth metals!
Yes.
And it possesses a strange power.
The soul of an esper who dies on that throne...
takes up residence in the statue, living on after death.
You mean that statue is full of the souls of generations of esper shrine maidens.
G-Ghosts?! It's full of ghosts?!
No. Similar, but not quite the same.
It's called residual thought.
Which means, of course, that Masala is in there, too.
My grandmother. She died 20 years ago.
I see.
A psychometrist could draw her out just by touching it, right?
No! I'll touch a psycho killer's weapon or lost articles,
but I absolutely will not touch a ghost!
What's the difference?
I get it.
You're saying Masala has possessed...
the body of a powerful esper shrine maiden?
Exactly!
And because of it, my Sera is!
"My Sera"?
The name of this body.
A Level 7 psychometrist.
Thanks to her, I was able to revive, as you can see.
Not to mention bringing to life the powers...
of all the espers inhabiting the Sage's Statue.
Please release me, Grandmother!
What's wrong?
Sera! Sera, is it you?!
Your Highness!
Sera!
I've brought powerful espers from Japan!
They'll be able to persuade my grandmother and you'll be saved!
Then I just need to be patient a bit longer.
I love you, Sera!
And I love you, Your Highness.
Thump! Thump!
What do you two think you're doing?!
The law forbids royalty from marrying a shrine maiden!
Didn't I tell you to obey the law?!
Damn it!
Oh, come on, they're in love. Can't you let them do it?
I refuse! The law is absolute!
Take it from someone with life experience!
This sort of infatuation is short-lived!
Espers and Normals! Royalty and shrine maidens!
They live in different worlds!
Besides, Sera is older than him!
No! I won't give up!
Then according to ancient law, you must fight me.
Huh? Fight?
I shall fight the espers chosen by the prince!
I won't let you sleep tonight.
I won't sleep tonight.
Tell us more!
Very well. Come with me.
Fight The Children?
Any time, Grandma!
Hold it! No one said anything about this!
You said you just wanted them to persuade her!
Interesting.
Basically, if we win, they get to go out, right?
Hey! What are you?
Minamoto, this mission is incredibly vital!
It'll be fine! Trust us!
Mr. Minamoto, release our limiters, already!
Okay. Understood.
The Children...
Released!
<>
When you really love someone, status, position, and age difference don't matter!
We'll help you to overcome those obstacles!
We'll fight for your freedom to love!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
L-Let's consider the age difference thing, though...
Quiet!
This has gotten interesting.
All right, into the barrier, then!
ESP waves resonate with the rare earth metals...
within the barrier, amplifying their power.
Physical appearance changes in proportion to the power increase.
Don't look so worried, Minamoto.
We're not going to lose.
No, that's not it.
By the way, they can't see the change.
So, at least their power equals that of an adult, huh?
Then, let's begin.
But considering the three on one handicap I have...
I'm calling in some helpers!
Retreat!
Fools.
It's simple to predict where you'll appear on a field as small as this!
Take this!
No, you don't!
No fair! You have the advantage!
Oh, well, why not have dear Fujiko help you out?
Huh? Me?!
Director, please!
I step into the barrier, it'll amplify my powers and my appearance will change in proportion.
My appearance...
No! I can't!
Come on, you didn't change that much!
No! My skin tone changed! I don't want my face or breasts in there!
You... Why did you even come?!
Then please use these! You... Why did you even come?!
They can transform your psychic attacks!
Just please try not to hurt Sera's body!
Don't worry about that.
There's no way you can ever harm me!
What?!
You'll regret that.
Okay, I'll start!
Teleport Arrow!
Now it's my turn.
Lightweight Damascus steel saber.
Forged: 308 BC.
Popularly known as a "shamshir".
Method of use... Completely scanned!
We'll handle the cannon fodder!
Kaoru, take care of the old lady!
All right!
Well, you're not half bad!
Please do your best!
If you beat my grandma and let me marry Sera,
I'll double our rare earth metal exports to Japan!
Amazing.
We've never even taught them that.
They grow each day, even if we do nothing.
They won't be little kids forever.
If you aren't careful, "that future" will be here before you know it.
So get 'em while you've got 'em! Don't worry about the age difference!
Shut up!
Kaoru!
Wait, please!
Kaoru!
Kaoru, are you all right?
She just grazed me!
This field uses ESP to modify what you see.
I see.
Fine! I never needed weapons in the first place!
Let's just see how this goes a little longer.
We can stop them if it goes badly.
Right.
This is good enough.
If worse come to worst, my ambush troops will stop the old lady!
Ooh! Dirty!
Isn't that kind of... cheating?
Don't be so naive!
This is like a coup d'etat!
Sometimes you have no choice in how to fight to protect what you love!
Am I wrong?
For Sera's sake, I'll gladly dirty my hands!
Even if I make the whole world my enemy!
Those rings won't hit me, no matter how many you fire!
Come at me with something more direct!
Don't get carried away.
I told you... I'm also a Level 7!
She's the same as me? No... Stronger?
She's pushing me back!
Kaoru!
That's enough, Kaoru!
If you both keep blasting your powers like that,
the loser will end up blown to pieces!
This fight isn't worth risking your life over!
Back off!
You're wrong!
We take... We take every fight seriously!
So quit calling us kids! Quit telling us to back off!
Quit saying Espers and Normals live in different worlds!
Quit talking about the difference in ages!
You...
Exactly!
Get her, Kaoru!
Her power's blazing!
The barrier's breaking!
This is bad.
If it breaks, they may take out the palace, or even the whole city!
Dammit... I have no choice now!
Elders from history, lend me your strength!
Um, no. How about you just quit, okay?
Huh?!
We heard everything.
They're in love! Give them a break! We heard everything.
That prince is so sexy! If I was 300 years younger... They're in love! Give them a break! It's wrong to interfere with young people in love!
That prince is so sexy! If I was 300 years younger... It's wrong to interfere with young people in love!
That prince is so sexy! If I was 300 years younger...
What are you saying?!
Everyone agrees.
You, the previous generation, are the only one who objects.
Please, allow this!
You... You... You can't be serious!
STOP!
It's come to this, huh?
Hey girls, no matter how much they like you,
if you come on too strong, a man's gonna pull back.
You make yourself appealing when they want to protect you!
Sh-She's right!
Oh, I'm finished!
I'm just a girl, after all!
Kaoru?
Take care of this.
You, double-crossing!
Okay, gotta think of a ladylike way to win. Ladylike...
Right here. That's your tickle spot, right, big sister?
She did it!
I name that the "Adult Lady Strategy"!
No, it is SO not that...
Whoever gave them that impression?
Aoi! These things are linked to her!
I see.
If I shoot the statue, it'll break her psychic link!
No! Wait! That's our nation's precious heritage!
Coup d'etat, complete.
Okay, riddle me this: what do you call a sport where you go through arches?
Archery!
Are we done here?
The young can destroy traditions and laws whenever they like.
So why don't we give them the power to write their own future?
I hear you.
Do what you want.
I...
Sera... Is that you?
Your Highness!
Sera!
Your Highness!
Look well and learn from this.
Huh? Where's Kaoru?
Minamoto!
Look! I beat her!
Do you admit that I'm a little more mature now?
You girls...
Okay! Quit hogging him for yourself!
No end runs, right?
Oh, come on! What's the big deal?
Mr. Minamoto, you like me more than Kaoru the power gorilla, right?
What did you call me?!
Stop it, you two.
Come on, no fighting!
You really are little kids.
So, this is how it turns out.
Will they be all right?
You may have broken destiny for the prince and Sera,
but our own Precogs are worried about the future of those girls.
I always loved you. I love you.
Say, what is this? You keep checking on it.
I suppose.
Looking for any mistakes?
Sort of.
But for now, it's still within the margin of error.
I turn to the front, embracing the dream
Making up my mind, looking up to the sky
I'll fly beyond the future with my wings
You alone are my heart's desire!
I declared that I love you absolutely
As the shining seasons pass
Your face is still as troubled as in
The photos I took to remember those days
As I shed warm, gentle tears
Let's try to meet here tomorrow, too
Without making promises, let's go
As casually as always
Waving my little hand with a smile
"Bye bye, till we meet again"
