The love which ends with the first light
Streaming in on the dreamy morning
Starting tomorrow, we go our separate ways
So abruptly, we can't prepare our hearts
Was there something
We knew which could not wither away?
Cherry blossoms falling everywhere
Saying with your voice
Goodbye, fall in love
Cherry blossom, cherry blossom
Forget all your tears
Starting now, fall in love
Does the message reach you now?
This is kind of embarrassing.
If you have time to be embarrassed, check the other photos I have of you guys.
Sure!
But why this, all of a sudden?
The Gekko will soon arrive at the Vodara Shrine, headquarters of the Vodarac.
The Vodara Shrine?!
It's where the one that Norb calls Sakuya is.
When we get there, we won't have the time for you to check these out.
We have to get this published as soon as possible, by any means possible.
I hate having to use you and Eureka like this as a result of things,
but to get through the current crisis, we need speed and the real truth.
Relax. When you come back, you'll both be famous.
It's all right if we don't end up famous at all.
EPISODE 40 COSMIC TRIGGER
Welcome back.
Glad to be back,
but you know what my coming here will involve, don't you?
That doesn't matter. That land has already been taken over by the evildoers.
Evil, huh? To them, what they do, they believe to be the truth.
It's been a while, ma'am.
You seem to be doing well, too. Where are the kids?
Ma'am!
Oh, my.
I want to drink that tea again!
That sweet red tea!
Yes, yes.
You've all grown so much since I last saw you.
Don't say that. You sound like a relative that I haven't met in a while.
It's not like that. It's true. See?
You think so? I guess.
I got taller, too!
Me, too! Me, too!
Yes, yes, you've all gotten taller, too.
So, where has your mama gone?
I know how hard it is for you to face her again.
I'm sure I'd feel the same way in your situation.
You don't have to see her if you don't want to.
"To Doggie: An instruction book from your big sister, Talho" You don't have to see her if you don't want to.
"To Doggie: An instruction book from your big sister, Talho"
But I think you need to see those people again, Eureka.
But, I'm...
...not a human?
That doesn't matter. Listen, Eureka.
It doesn't matter if you're a human or a Coralian.
We're all creatures who share this planet,
and I want you to meet the people of the Vodarac that way.
The same as how Renton treats you.
There's no way I can do it.
You really are a blockhead at times.
It's been 40 years.
Has it been that long?
How are we going to get in there? That place is...
You mean the Myodo sect?
They are the ones who follow the evil teachings.
Those who follow the teachings of Master Norb have been oppressed,
and spend their days wishing only for the master's return.
It's much better to live on than to die following my teachings.
And how are we going to take this filthy old man to a place like that?
Many refugees are now pouring into the Vodara Shrine.
All thanks to the battles against the antibody Coralians, huh?
Take a look.
What's?!
The refugees headed to the Vodara Shrine.
The oppression of the Vodarac faithful has become worse than ever.
The only place where they can escape to is the Vodara Shrine.
Even more fortunate for us, the Vodara Shrine is holding a festival right now.
Wait... You mean?!
Yes. A saint has been born.
A saint! They're still doing that? Idiots. They're all idiots.
And so we're going to use this to enter the Vodara Shrine, Nirvash and all?
Yes.
Then I guess we'll do it that way.
But, before that...
H-Hey! Let go! Let go of me! Come on!
Take those impure hands off me! I am Norb! Stop it!
You got soap in my eyes!
You're all going to hell!
Hey...
What?
Why are creatures living in this world?
That's a tough one you're asking.
I'm sorry.
I can't explain it well, but I don't think you need to think about...
the world and the creatures on it separately.
The world is its creatures, and the creatures are the world.
I think that's what this kid is trying to teach me.
Are you happy that you're going to have a family?
Half and half, I think.
After all, now I'll have to deal with two kids.
You're going to have two kids?
That's not it.
See, Holland is like a kid, right? Just like Renton.
I don't think Renton is a child anymore.
What, you're mad at me?
I'm not mad!
Yes, you are!
I'm not mad!
That's so cute!
Oh, wanna take me on?!
What are you two doing?!
Sheesh, I was wondering what you were doing instead of eating your meals!
Look here, Talho, your body isn't just for you alone anymore.
Right...
I guess we should go eat, too.
Humans are amazing.
I mean, you can carry another life inside of you.
Eureka... Biologically, you can bear children, too.
Now that 40 years worth of dirt is off my skin, I feel like I'm going to catch a cold.
Well, that takes care of our biggest obstacle.
All we need now is to take Eureka and the others...
Mama...
Oh, my.
Wait!
I see... So, this is the path that you've chosen.
Ma'am!
It's almost time. We need to get ready.
Holland.
What are we going to be doing now?
We're going to infiltrate the Vodarac headquarters.
I'm going to have you guys meet Sakuya.
That's the only way we can save this planet.
Meet Sakuya?
And then what?
That's for this old man to answer.
Just make the meeting.
Once the decision is made, everything will start to move.
So fast that you'll never be able to turn back.
Is mama going away somewhere?
I don't want that. I don't want Mama to leave without us.
Me, neither!
The Question Limitation?
This is just a hypothesis of information quantum mechanics!
According to analysis by the members of Ageha,
it seems that it's not just a theory.
This means that we're on the Edge right now.
How things turn from here, whether the world ends or not...
Everything depends on what we do now.
And how we act.
Impossible...
Scub coral copies everything that exists on this planet,
turning it into information so that, after the material plane collapses,
they will head to the other side of the event horizon.
That's the final chapter of the Ageha Project?
It just means that Adroc had anticipated this far ahead.
Even to how the scub corals will think and decide...
when we surpass the Question Limitation.
Such nonsense.
If the scub coral hadn't come to this planet in the first place,
the Question Limitation would never have been reached.
Why should I have to board an ark...
with intruders who have never once apologized?
I choose to live on this land, even if it means destroying the ark.
Colonel...
What's the current situation?
Sir! The attack squad is already en route to the Vodara Shrine.
The Ginga will hurry over as well.
I have something that I want it to do.
I beg your pardon, but...
But please stop referring to Anemone as "it."
She has a personality of her own.
That's true. As you say, she has a personality of her own.
I nearly forgot that.
Thank you.
Gulliver?
Nobody's here.
This is the headquarters of the Vodarac.
Where Sakuya is.
I've always wanted to see this. I believe...
You mean the Love Parade?
That's a story of a distant past.
To do something like this, even though a true saint hasn't been born...
Doesn't the Myodo sect realize the reason...
Sakuya closed her heart was to protect this place?
Idiots. They really are idiots.
A huge wall.
On the other side...
Sakuya is waiting.
Lady Sakuya!
The saint now arrives at your feet, bearing the burden of all our sins!
I wonder where we are right now?
Let's look!
Stop!
I'm just gonna peek outside.
You have to sit still!
Yeah!
Don't wanna!
What?!
It's the white devil!
This is Alice! Crescent Rabbit, it's teatime!
This is Red Queen! Roger that!
The King, too!
This is Crescent Rabbit! Roger!
Humpty, don't be late to the party!
I know!
You guys!
We're sorry!
Leave that for later! Let's go!
Mr. Norb!
That's the entrance?
Yeah.
I'm scared.
It's all right.
This is Alice! We'll form our defense line here!
Holland!
Go, Renton!
Until they give us a result, we defend this place with our lives! Got that?!
What are?
Fools.
Fools who melded themselves with Compac Drives by force...
to try and reopen Sakuya's heart and died in the process!
They cannot possibly be saints.
This is a row of fools which has no value at all!
They're dead people.
Gross!
I'm scared.
It's all right.
It's a dead end.
Just a sec.
Hang on tight!
It's gotten brighter!
Everyone, it's all right now. Don't cry.
Mr. Norb! If we're gonna fall, you should warn us!
W-Wait, what are you doing?
This deep down in the earth, the trapars...
There are no trapars here.
Why?
Right now, in that form, trapars are nothing but poison for Sakuya.
Eureka...
Where?
Sakuya's bedroom.
Sakuya sleeps within.
Now, let's go. Move the Nirvash forward.
It's pitch black.
Um... I can't see anything.
Sakuya.
Sakuya? You mean?
I've returned, Lady Sakuya.
TO BE CONTINUED
To be continued!
Trying to escape the same old thing
You set out, walking all alone
Thinking that if you just spread out the map clutched in your hand
You'd be sure to reach your destination
But you were mistaken
You thought you'd be stronger on your own
You discovered your own weakness and the path was hazy
But then the light fell on you and you remembered all their faces
So you kept getting up, moving forward, no matter how many times you fell
Because you knew inside that everyone has a place to call "home"
Always relying on those bonds every time
Hands in the air, with a yell that carries on in your heart
Always looking back to where you've been
Because there are some places that never change
No matter what adversities or fears you overcome
You advance down this unknown endless road
Always looking back to where you've been
Because there are some places that never change
No matter what adversities or fears you overcome
You advance down this unknown endless road
Always looking back to where you've been
The shining flower bud shows the story that unites man to his land.
The boy and the girl seek the future, and resolve to go on the journey.
