When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV.
Great job, girls!
Um, what's this about? Why'd you call me in during the night shift?
Impossible!
It's true. It's gone up again.
The probability that The Children...
will become devils who will destroy this world.
No... That prediction will become reality?
Director!
I told you before, didn't I? That gun is!
inamoto...
What you need right now is the strength...
and determination to protect The Children's future.
You can't keep ignoring this forever.
Because, otherwise...
you will be lost in the flow of destiny.
They're getting less and less effective...
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

20XX - TOKYO
ESPER REVOLT IN NEW YORK! MANY DEAD OR WOUNDED
It hasn't changed. As clean and neat as always.
I'm home.
We figured you'd come, Kaoru.
We didn't want to meet like this, though.
It's been a while, Aoi, Shiho.
Don't give us that!
Mr. Minamoto went to New York to look for you!
I know.
I came to see you today.
I figured you'd both be watching this place.
You really thought we'd follow you?
You seriously think we'd join PANDRA and fight the Normals?
But how?! It had anti-ESP defenses!
There's debris everywhere! I can't teleport!
You both still came.
After all, we've been best friends since we were kids.
Best friends, huh?!
Do you know what I've seen? What the Normals do to espers in secret?
Don't be taken in! She's not the Kaoru we knew!
The fact she hasn't tried one creepy old guy gag yet is proof of that!
I haven't changed! I just put that stuff aside!
Even I...
I'd have done anything to let us go on living like we were...
20XX - PRESENT DAY
Man, is there anything cuter than brand-new first graders?
You'd never think that in only 4 or 5 years,
some of them will be grownup girls with big boobs!
Why do you have to think like a creepy old guy?
Well, that's been her thing since she was little.
Entrance Ceremony Well, that's been her thing since she was little.
Entrance Ceremony Still, we're fifth-graders now.
Entrance Ceremony Except nothing's changed a bit!
Really! They haven't grown a bit!
So sad!
Could you put that aside and grow up already?!
She's right, Kaoru. It's bad for your education.
Oh, Mr. Minamoto. Is the night shift over?
What's that? Cake?
To celebrate our going up a grade, right?
Um, no. Actually, this is...
Kinda plain, isn't it?
It's a normal snack. Any complaints?
You don't have a celebration for just advancing one grade.
Even if you did, it wouldn't change anything...
There's no love in this! Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!
If you're going to complain about it that much, I'll take it back.
Screw that!
But you'll have a real celebration for us tomorrow, right?
You won't give up, will you? I said I wouldn't.
Now, I've been working all night, so I'm going to bed.
Hey, wait! What about tomorrow?
What's with Minamoto?!
Should I really leave things as they are?
Still, the director may have a point.
Even they won't stay children forever.
What will be the trigger?
No matter what happens, I!
I have to protect them!
What the?!
Hello, you three.
Congratulations on moving up a grade.
You're that much closer to adulthood now.
Major Hyobu?
That's kind of a new look.
Kind of?
Oh, this?
That's funny, I wore this on the advice of my comrades.
Huh? I hate it when people try to dress too young!
Like a school uniform is dressing your age?!
Shut up and wear this!
And since those two are acting as lookouts for me,
today I'm wearing every sort of limiter there is.
For today, I'm no different from any Normal.
However, I brought a bodyguard along, just in case.
And by that, you mean this guy here?
Oh, Momotaro.
Yeah, you brought a real dependable tough guy with you.
I guess. However, I am the defender of lovely young girls!
I'll always protect you from this lolicon, no matter what!
How wonderful. What can possibly go wrong?
Hey!
I'll glad you came along.
Okay? Nothing to worry about, right?
I just had to celebrate your growth with you!
You'll go out with me, won't you?
Well, I suppose we could for a little while, just to see what you're up to.
Where are you taking us?
To someplace great.
Come on, get in!
Kaoru... Aoi... Shiho...
The "great place"...
...is here? It's just an amusement park.
You don't like it? After I rented it for us?
No, it's just... It's so normal for you.
Yes. This is a place where normal people come to play.
Trouble is...
We're not normal.
Facilities have been making a lot of noise about ESP lately.
You girls can't play in a place like this, can you?
Am I wrong?
Well...
Mommy, I want to go with Sis!
Why do I have to stay home with you?
Mom... Sis...
Don't let it bother you. It's not your fault.
Father.
The people who play there...
will reach their hands out of the toilets and pull you in!
And then they'll take all your money!
Dad.
So, where shall we begin our fun?
To be honest, I've never ridden any of these before, either.
I want that one!
I'll take the game center!
I... Hey! Wait for me!
No rush! No rush!
That's!
You still have that?
Well...
Right?
Right!
After what we went through to get it, there's no way we'd just give it back!
Anyway, don't be such killjoys.
The Children, released!
Round and round, goes the merry-go-round.
I don't care what happens after this!
Okay! Today, we cut loose!
Today, BABEL and PANDRA shake hands at the amusement park!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
But, this isn't any different from what she normally does.
Hey, how about that?
I don't want to!
It'll be fine!
You'll love it!
No! No!
HAUNTED HOUSE
Teleport Shadow Clones!
This is hurting my eyes.
She's hitting between 8 to 10 frames a second.
YOU ROCK! You rock!
YOU ROCK! All right!
Hey, shouldn't we be heading home? Mr. Minamoto might be worried.
He's probably still asleep.
You're playing it cool, I see. Aren't you having fun?
The amusement park is fun, but not with you.
We'd rather be here with Mr. Minamoto than with you.
You shouldn't mention other guys while on a date, Empress.
Why are you calling me that?!
Kyosuke, I'm hungry!
Actually...
So am I.
I see. There's no staff working here now, so...
Shall we get something to eat?
I'll take you wherever you want.
Really?
Is that her Achilles Heel?
But what about the meal Mr. Minamoto made in the fridge?
Okay, how about this?
Sounds like fun. You really are the queen, Kaoru!
Seriously? I was kidding.
W-We're home.
Okay, wait here while we get it ready.
Thank you.
We don't want to wake the man of the house. Do it quietly.
Ooh! I haven't been here in a while!
And then you go and say that!
Should we heat it up?
What's this? Oh, it's stew.
Can we use these for the plates?
Shut up... Can we use these for the plates?
Just don't feed me squid ink or anything like that, please.
Remember, kids, the third month of the lunar calendar is Yayoi!
So, this is what you usually eat?
A bit working-class, but it has an honest flavor to it.
I think Mr. Minamoto's a great cook.
If you don't like it, you're free to leave.
Please, don't take it as an insult. I meant to say it tasted homey.
Don't you think bringing him home was overdoing it?
Well, I didn't hear either of you objecting very hard!
I guess we just went along without thinking...
I can hear you.
We lived in very similar circumstances.
Didn't Fujiko tell you?
I was a special esper, too, when I was around your age.
The Imperial Army's Special ESP Unit.
It was what would eventually become BABEL.
That was...
Old man Igo's unit?
You were one of his comrades, Kyosuke?
Our missions were different from what you do now, though.
Our powers were developed for the benefit of society and our nation.
Why's he telling them about this now?
Eventually, war broke out. And we became weapons.
But even then, I thought I was doing the right thing.
At the very least, I had my comrades.
Because I believed in them.
There! Did you see that, Fujiko?!
That puts my kill score on top!
Fujiko!
Sorry, I got hit.
Get back to the carrier!
Can't. My psychic power's spent, so I can't teleport.
Then I'll take you! Can you stop the bleeding?
Yeah.
But we didn't have many espers then, and even our powers had their limit...
Against the flow of world events, we couldn't change a single thing.
This war is lost to us. The only path left is unconditional surrender.
No!
We don't have the strength to fight on anymore.
Aside from you, every member of the ESP Unit is wounded.
Then I'll fight alone!
I can at least bomb the enemy homeland!
Enough. Our destiny has been decided.
Decided?
Defeat, rebuilding... And the destruction to come!
What's?
The brain of a dead dolphin.
We successfully retrieved it from Okinawa.
We learned from our analysis that 1-009 concealed a prediction from us.
After the war, espers will continue to increase.
You will become their leader and destroy the world!
Captain, what are you talking about?!
There's no need for the occupation forces to know...
that we created a monster like you.
You're joking, right?
The war with our fellow humans is over.
Now to finish our next enemy, the esper, while we have the chance!
Next enemy? Monster?
Is that all we were?
In the end, we're just...
Congratulations.
You've earned yourself a special two-rank promotion.
Now to give the rest of your comrades an honorable death in combat.
Impossible!
You call me the monster?
After that, multiple powers awakened within me.
Hm?
You're not eating. I thought you were hungry.
What kind of person could eat while listening to that story?!
It's not the same.
If that man had been like Minamoto, even you would have!
You think so?
He's a Normal.
When push comes to shove, which side do you think he'll choose?
Mm!
Mr. Minamoto!
Girls...
Have you seen my glasses? I can't see a thing.
I thought I left them around here...
What's the big idea?!
S-Sorry! I was trying to hand them to you!
Hi!
Pardon the intrusion!
Oh, come on, Goddess!
Major... You look like a two-bit Casanova out there.
Huh? Is someone here?
Never mind that! I hear Shiho in the bathroom!
Mr. Minamoto, save me!
Shiho!
Now's your chance!
Roger!
Darn it, Aoi! You're SO gonna pay for this!
I still haven't thanked him for the meal.
You don't have to!
My compliments to the chef. Here's a tip for him!
No need!
Actually...
As you can see, I can release all my limiters.
I was planning to use my Hypno in case he noticed me.
If Minamoto...
If you do anything to Minamoto, I absolutely will never forgive you!
That's why I'm waiting patiently for my time.
But I can still tease him, can't I?
No!
Minamoto's a good man! He's not like the other Normals!
Ever since...
Ever since Minamoto came, we've all changed! Completely!
I love you and your abilities.
The man who shot me used to say similar things.
They're all the same.
That's a lie!
No, it's not. I'm trying to make you all see that...
Minamoto's different! He'd never do something like that!
Kaoru?
Stubborn fool.
It seems words won't be enough to make you understand.
Hey, what are you saying?!
Just stand back. Hey, what are you saying?!
Just stand back.
Kyosuke...
Sure you want to let me go?
If you leave me at large, the people you love may be in danger.
Why, you! PSYCHIC AXE KICK!
Too easy.
PSYCHIC IRON HAMMER!
Dammit! PSYCHIC AFTERIMAGE HUNDRED CRACK FIST!
Is that it? All that growth, and this is the extent of your power?
PSYCHIC AEGIS SHIELD!
You'll never be able to protect your beloved Minamoto...
if that's the best you can do.
Kyosuke!
Not just him.
Not Aoi or Shiho or any of the people you cherish now.
At the rate you're going, one day...
PSYCHIC SCISSORS WAVE!
What?!
Kaoru, what was that?
I squeezed my power as thin as it could go.
Just the way you taught me, Kyosuke.
I don't hate you, but!
Major!
But if you ever do anything to Minamoto!
Incredible. You're developing beyond what I predicted.
Kyosuke, you intentionally made her cry, didn't you?!
I didn't really mean to, but...
All right. I'll withdraw for now.
However...
Please don't forget, Kaoru.
I'm not the one who's really hurting you. He is.
We'll play again. See you.
Kyosuke, you jerk!
Tomorrow is...
It'll be one year since I became your supervisor, won't it?
Oh, so you did remember.
I'm back!
Kaoru? Where were you at this hour?
That's why we have to celebrate!
My spare glasses? Where did you?
So, didn't you get us anything? Like a present?
It's nothing to get too excited over, but I thought we'd mark the occasion.
Here.
A music box?
It plays Träumerei.
And it has a picture frame, too!
Yeah. Tomorrow, let's take a picture of us all.
Not tomorrow! Now!
Do it now!
Kaoru?
But I'm soaking wet!
Who cares?!
Minamoto!
Me, too!
Because no one can know...
what tomorrow might bring.
All we'll do is hear you out.
But don't expect anything more.
I understand.
Thank you.
In springtime at dawn, one sleeps a sleep that knows no dawn...
Minamoto!
I need to visit a few agencies. I'll be back in the afternoon.
Roger! Take care!
Hi.
Could you give this to The Children for me?
Seeing how you don't plan to celebrate their growth.
What's wrong? Aren't you going to shoot me?
With that crude thing you carry hidden on you?
Get it through your head, kid.
Appreciate how much happiness you have right now.
Treasure it.
Because, second by second, the future's getting nearer, Minamoto.
What are you?
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 time, on Zettai Karen Children!
NEXT EPISODE Next time, on Zettai Karen Children!
Just me?! No way!
No using your powers for the next few days, until your brain damage clears up.
Just take it easy.
Yeah. You don't have to come.
Sucks for you, huh, Queen? It's not like I want to ask for your help,
but they said we need you to fight Black Phantom.
You need me?
Zettai Karen Children!
Episode 48: "A Disturbance in the Force! The Phantom Menace!"
No good! I don't have the power!
I need Aoi and Shiho, but!
Do it, Kaoru!
A Disturbance in the Force! The Phantom Menace Do it, Kaoru!
A Disturbance in the Force! The Phantom Menace We're absolutely lovely, so we never lose!
