JAPAN - Tanegashima Space Center
Captain Caroline.
5 days to go, and then we'll be in space.
Yeah.
At last, my childhood dream will come true.
All that's left is to leave the Earth behind and devote myself to the mission.
No! You can't go yet!
Because Koichi's still in this country, isn't he?!
Is... Is there someone inside of me?
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
Okay, careful, now.
Roger!
The Children, released!
No matter where you look, we're super cute!
We're okay being the stars of a space opera!
We'll save the day in the nick of time!
Stardust girls! The Absolutely Lovely Children!
You're training for a hypothetical mission in space.
First, I want Kaoru to psychokinetically remove that satellite from the cargo bay.
So, treat it as gently as you would a girl, right?
Okay, that example's kind of creepy, but yes.
PSYCHIC...
"Please Milord, Don't!"
Don't you like it?
That's not gentle! That's sexual harassment!
Calm down.
But isn't there a play where that happens?
Really?
That lady's clearly spinning herself.
That's hardly the point...
You shouldn't blame Kaoru, Mr. Minamoto.
We've hardly ever been treated like normal girls, so how should we know?
Exactly! And especially from our direct superiors.
Even though I think we've gotten a lot more mature lately...
Hm... 2 centimeters.
Seriously?! Darn it...
Yes. Step by step, you're climbing the glass stairway to adulthood.
Yes, even if it's only in H-2-0.
Concentrate!
43rd sense: "The Oddly Perfect Couple! Caroline, A Destined Reunion"
LABORATORY
Ew, my hair's damaged.
Why do we need this training?
Didn't you hear? About the Japan-Comerica joint project?
Japan and Comerica?
Exactly.
The construction of the international moon station is about to begin.
International moon station?
Don't you know about it?
They're about to launch a shuttle for it.
I don't care about stuff like that.
We continue now with coverage of the upcoming shuttle launch...
Well, speak of the devil. We continue now with coverage of the upcoming shuttle launch...
Well, speak of the devil. in 5 days for the construction of the international moon station.
The woman, Caroline McGee, is a Level 2 psychokinetic.
Caroline... The woman, Caroline McGee, is a Level 2 psychokinetic.
She's one of the crew who will be studying the effects...
of long-duration space missions on psychic powers.
80 cm. B-cup. of long-duration space missions on psychic powers.
Okay, she's kind of pretty, but... of long-duration space missions on psychic powers.
Friend of yours?
Well, yes, but... No.
You can't fool us!
Cheater!
You creep!
This isn't any business of little kids!
Little kids?!
Wh-What?
This is Doubleface.
Serious damage at the entrance! Looks like someone has broken in!
High probability the intruder is an esper! Be on alert!
The intruder's an esper?
Koichi.
Caroline?
It's her.
The girl from the TV?
Why is she here?
M-Mr. Minamoto?
Seems a little overly friendly, huh?
Busting in on our turf... You've got some nerve!
What is this?!
A powerful psychic wave!
This isn't right! They said she's a Level 2 esper!
She's Level 6. No! Level 7!
Can it be? Are you?
Stop it, Carry!
Carry?
Koichi.
Minamoto? Get away from her!
Minamoto.
Who is that woman?
Please, look at me! Hey!
Minamoto!
Kaoru, you're awake.
Where am I?
Aoi. Shiho.
Just lay quietly and rest.
Well, there's nothing physically wrong with you three, but...
Minamoto. Where's Minamoto?
A team, reporting.
Pursuing escaped female esper. Still uncaptured.
B team reports the same.
C team, as well.
I don't get it. Why would Minamoto?
We have a response from the Comerican embassy.
Captain Caroline was working on the project...
at the space center with no problems, and then...
It would seem the Comericans want to hide something from us.
So it would.
Mr. Minamoto...
All this time he was with us...
But for Level 7's like you to have been beaten like this...
What were they like?
Koichi!
Dr. Sakaki, do you know anything about this?
N-No...
So, it was her, wasn't it?
Hey! What are you?!
Our limiters are released.
Never mind that!
Why do you sound like you know who she is?!
That's right!
Remember?
There was a woman when you were in Comerica, wasn't there?!
Tell me!
She and him...
That's who this "Carry" woman is?
Carry?
Did he actually call her that, Kaoru?!
Y-Yeah.
What's going on here?
Dr. Sakaki.
If you know something, please tell us.
Okay.
Carry?
What do you mean, Sakaki?
Isn't she Captain Caroline McGee?
This all started back when we were studying abroad in Comerica.
That's when you and he...
You became friends at the university, right?
Right.
Awake now?
Sakaki-san...
Just call me Sakaki.
We'd finished our required courses and were preparing to return to Japan.
Minamoto! You've gotta do this, Minamoto!
If you come, Amelia, Won Lee, Jodi, Kris, and Kushanna will, too!
What's your real reason for getting the international students together?
What do you think? For one last group date!
I'm still a minor! I can't get involved in that!
Oh, loosen up! This is Comerica.
This is a matter of personal freedom...
Look, we have to work hard...
to change the image of the shy Japanese person, right?
And be like you?
Come on, you were born a man, so...
Ow... Hey! That's dangerous, blocking the way like that!
Sorry.
Sorry, Caroline. Shall I take you out tonight as an apology?
Oh, Shuji.
Oh-ho... Is this another plan for you to pick up girls?
You lost your shy image a long time ago on this campus.
Who's he?
Koichi Minamoto.
I'm also Japanese, but please don't assume I'm like him.
Shut up!
A pleasure. I'm Caroline.
A pleasure.
So, you free tonight?
Sorry. I'll be helping out Professor Wonlens.
The professor? You're a Level 2 psychokinetic, aren't you?
Oh? Really?
Typical Shuji. You have data on every girl, don't you?
Don't joke, Caroline! You're helping him in those experiments?
That's a rumor! I'm just taking his advice on my career choice.
Career choice?
I want to go into space someday. It's been my dream since childhood.
Oh?
Damn, look at the time. See you!
Sakaki, what experiments?
Well, it's just a rumor,
but I've heard Prof. Wonlens in the ESP research center...
is using external stimulus on the brains of low-level espers to increase their abilities.
You mean she's?
It came from the ESP research center!
Minamoto!
Caroline?
I want you to understand.
She participated in the experiment, knowing the risk.
With you dangling her post-grad career as bait?
This school's a disgrace, Prof. Wonlens.
Never mind that. What's happened to her?
She's like a infant. That hurts. Please stop.
Stop?
As a result of the experiment,
she's become a high-level esper with combined powers.
Unfortunately, her memories and personality were lost.
How?
Hm... This is serious.
When the psychic centers in her brain were activated,
it created a new personality.
Then, Caroline's gone?!
You're Minamoto, right?
Y-Yes.
Y-Yes!
She cares for you a great deal, it seems.
What? No, it's nothing like that.
Minamoto, the man born to be a babysitter.
How about it? Won't you help us get her back to normal?
Is there a way?
If we can join both personalities into one.
In short, if we can combine their brain functions,
But, you don't need me for that.
No, we can't do it alone.
She...
She's extremely shy. Apparently, she doesn't like us much.
That's what caused the explosion last night.
Please! We don't want her to wreck the entire university!
That hurts! Please, stop it, Caroline.
Carry-line?
That's right. She doesn't even know her own name.
It's Caroline.
Carry-lin?
Caroline.
Carryn?
Caroline.
Carry!
Carry! Carry! Carry!
I guess Carry will do for now. Okay, I'll help you.
However, on one condition.
Condition?
I want you to stop your research on creating high-level espers...
so that this never happens again!
I promise.
She is absolutely huge, isn't she?
This is Comerica, after all.
Yuichi Nakamura is sensitive to the heat.
But Koichi isn't coming, is he?
Well, you'd better just forget about him.
Minamoto isn't interested in grownup women.
Quit spreading weird stories about me!
Hi, Koichi!
Hi!
A kid's book?
It's Carry's.
Who's Carry?
Did you get a job as a babysitter?
No, it's his thing for kids...
Why do you enjoy doing that?!
Koichi!
Let's play! Let's play! Let's play!
St-Stop that.
You promised we'd read a book today.
No books!
Carry wants to play dodge ball!
With that ball?
Yeah, like this!
No, I don't think we should play that. You'll end up killing us.
First, we read the book.
No, no, no! Play!
The fastest way to integrate your brain functions...
will be by developing your language skills.
If Carry gets smart, Carry will disappear!
No, you won't disappear.
You'll merge with your original personality. It just means you'll go back to normal!
You'll keep your psychokinesis and won't lose any of the memories you have now.
But Carry will be different! Carry will disappear!
Carry doesn't want to disappear!
Carry...
Listen to me, Carry. People grow, and growing means changing.
Usually, it happens so slowly you don't notice,
but, every day, bit by bit we're all changing into someone new.
Our minds and our bodies.
Besides, if you stay like this, what about Caroline?
Does Koichi like Caroline?
Do you like Caroline more than Carry? Do you hate Carry?
No, I don't. I just...
You shouldn't trouble Minamoto like that, Carry.
He wants you to grow up. It's for everyone's sake.
Then, when Carry's a grownup...
When Carry's bigger, will you marry her?!
We'll have to wait and see.
Then Carry will grow up!
When Carry grows up, you'll love her!
Then you won't talk about Carry turning back to Caroline!
I'm starting to get the picture.
Yeah, I see.
And a little later, she and Mr. Minamoto started dating, right?
Mr. Minamoto, you creep!
A girl he was taking care of, and he won't even try that with us?!
No, it's not fair.
But now I have a better opinion of Minamoto.
Please don't make light of this!
Director...
What happened? What happened to Carry?
Kaoru?
Carry's mind grew to match her body faster than we anticipated.
Yeah... It only took about a month.
Where am I?
Are you awake now, Koichi?
Carry? Is that you?
Yeah! Koichi! I missed you.
It's Carry, all right.
But, it can't be. Back then, she was!
Carry!
I learned to read German today. Tomorrow, I'll study French.
Really.
But I have a feeling it's not me who's learning it.
I wonder if it's all Caroline's mind doing it.
Carry...
There are times I remember a person's face or a place I don't know.
I'll disappear soon, won't I?
I keep telling you, you won't vanish. You'll just...
I'll just change, right? But I can tell.
I'm disappearing.
Because you're everything in the world to me.
My love for you is all that I am.
When Caroline returns, she won't love you in the same way.
She's not like me. She has a past and memories that don't involve you.
At the very least, she'll still think you're cute.
But I think her dream of going into space is most important to her.
That's why I won't merge with her. Or, rather, I don't want to.
I want to keep these feelings for myself.
Koichi, please... Will you give me one last memory?
Goodbye.
Back then, I thought that Carry chose to seal herself away and fall asleep.
Why are you here?
I don't know. But I missed you, Koichi!
Has she not regained all of her memories yet?
Great.
I come to see what sort of esper had awakened here...
and find the kid involved in this, too.
Interesting.
I see. Carry did that to herself.
Yeah.
Chief, emergency report from D Team!
This is Tokiwa. Have sighted It. Minamoto and Capt. Caroline.
Hold it... This mind... It's not Caroline. It's someone named "Carry"...
Huh? What do you mean?
Anyway, Minamoto is all right. No sign of any injuries.
Aoi!
Gotcha!
Wha! Girls, wait!
They went after them.
Yes? This is the chief's office.
Director!
Minamoto, this is Nowaki. Stay where you are.
R-Right.
Please give her to us!
Ken!
Mary! Colonel Grisham!
Wh-What are you doing?
Don't worry! We're not here to hurt anyone!
No... Comerica's restarted its high-level esper development experiments, hasn't it?!
The details are top secret, but this is of national concern to us...
and the Japanese government approves. It's nothing personal.
Hold it!
What's with the gun?!
What's the meaning of this?!
Oh, I'm sorry!
But we're soldiers, and we can't disobey orders!
We're friends, but we won't allow you to defy us!
What's yours is ours and what's ours is still ours!
What kind of one-sided friendship is that?!
Koichi!
Again?!
She teleported?
Stop!
Our limiters!
They've been turned on!
Stay where you are, Children.
Granny!
We just got a call from the prime minister.
He wants us to leave this matter entirely to the Comericans.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Granny, why are you stopping us?!
Any interference, and even you girls will be arrested...
and charged with violations of international law.
Arrested?!
You'd do that to us?!
I see you won't understand unless I show you I'm serious.
What is this?!
What's the meaning of this?!
What's the deal, Granny?!
Granny!
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"
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Zettai Karen Children!
Listen to me, Carry! We!
I've always wanted to see the country where you were born!
Carry...
If Mr. Minamoto chooses Carry, then what happens to us?
Aoi...
I dunno, but I can't just stand by and do nothing!
I won't!
Zettai Karen Children!
Episode 44: "Painful Parting! Goodbye Forever, Carry."
I was the one who wanted wings!
Even though I had to conceal it from you!
