I have people who are dear to me.
Linck, Maeter, Maurice...
And Renton.
I'm fond of them. I love them.
People who are dear to me. My family.
They taught me all sorts of things when I didn't know anything.
They accepted everything about me when I didn't have anything.
They let me be who I am.
They're who I love, the ones I want to protect the most.
I want to be with Linck.
I want to be with Maeter.
I want to be with Maurice.
And with Renton...
But if wishing so will make me lose those who are dear to me...
If wishing so will cause the planet where they all live to disappear...
Then I will stop wishing.
But, if it can be allowed, I'd like to see them one more time.
I want to see you. I want to see you, Renton!
Is this where you've been?
Is it all right? For the leader to be wasting time here like this?
An LFO rider without his LFO is like a fish out of water.
I see.
I apologize for taking the Super Izumo's fuel like this.
Relax. I'm just doing the best I can under the circumstances.
I'm a soldier, after all.
Thanks.
What happened to your hands?
Oh, this?
Dewey's kids got me.
The Colonel told us!
To survive and become the foundation for the new world order!
He wasn't like you guys... The colonel was kind to us!
Even though we all have such filthy bodies, the colonel said we were all beautiful!
Those children were picked up from the refugee camp in Warsaw.
The results of ethnic cleansing... It doesn't seem real.
If people don't see it on the news, they end up denying those kinds of truths.
I've heard that enough times.
Born into the world cursing it...
The one who saved those children who were born unwanted...
was a man who, like them, cursed the world around him.
What drove my brother to curse the world like that?
Who knows? You can ask a therapist that.
True enough.
I'm thinking about adopting those children.
The least I can do to atone for the adults...
who created this deservedly accursed world.
Atonement, huh?
Jeez, Dewey sure left a big debt for us to pay.
One too big for any individual to pay off, I think.
I have to carry it on my shoulders.
I'll carry the weight.
Even if I have to use the rest of my life to do so.
Holland!
We've got guests.
The collars Eureka and the others wore were somehow linked...
to the cardiopulmonary functions of Colonel Dewey.
I'm afraid it's an adaptation of the CFS system,
a system that reverse- transfers trapars.
He set it up so that his own death would be the trigger.
The colonel wished for the Question Limitation to not be reached...
even after the destruction of the control cluster.
Even if people panicked and there was a moment where...
physical laws broke down, it would calm down fairly quickly.
Because the scub coral wants to survive as well.
And so the colonel wanted to set up Eureka aboard the Nirvash,
or myself aboard The End, as the substitute control cluster.
He would then input a self-destruct program encoded into...
the collars that you both wore into the scub corals.
So it turns out we all were wrapped around his finger.
Damn him! That monster!
Wait.
That doesn't explain why we still haven't reached the Question Limitation.
I think it's thanks to Eureka.
What?!
I think Eureka is refusing to become the substitute control cluster.
Because...
The flashing of this Compac, huh?
Right. The interval between the flashes of this and
the signs from the sphere above the Tenshan Mountains match exactly.
In other words, Eureka...
Is still alive.
Talho...
Talho!
Welcome back.
You guys all did your best.
Holland?
Stand up.
I SAID, STAND UP!
Holland... I couldn't do anything...
I couldn't do anything at all!
Wait, Holland!
Please punch me.
Please, punch me.
I couldn't save my father. Or my sister.
I couldn't protect Eureka.
I was just a kid who couldn't do anything.
I'm the worst sort of person, someone who just talks big...
Feel better now?
Then get ready to go.
We're going.
Go? Where?
You have to ask?
To where Eureka is.
FINAL EPISODE WISH UPON A STAR
All right.
We have only one objective.
To contact Eureka, who has become the control cluster,
and arbitrate between the humans and the scub coral one more time.
However, there's a problem.
The signals coming from Eureka are growing weaker.
Keep calling out to Eureka...
so that she can stay conscious until we can get there.
That's something only you can do!
Are we ready?!
All set on this end! We can launch at any time!
Renton. You've gotten to be an attractive guy.
Yeah!
Got it?
This is using an operational system to display...
the trapar interference caught on the Gekko's trapar radars.
Look.
EUREKA Look.
EUREKA Using this effect, we're going to attempt...
to start communication from here in return.
If she'll reply to anyone,
it'll be to you guys, Eureka's family, and nobody else.
So, Holland...
When we get to where Eureka is, what then?
Sorry, I don't have any ideas at all.
That's what I thought.
Don't beg.
Don't beg for it, earn it.
Then it will be granted to you.
Right, Holland?
Those words weren't aimed at me.
I'm sure they were meant for you, through me.
From Adroc Thurston to Renton Thurston.
I envy Eureka.
She has so many people who would risk their lives for her.
Don't be so selfish.
You have one yourself.
A man named Dominic.
C-Captain!
You're right.
I have Dominic at my side.
Someone much more handsome than Eureka's boyfriend!
Well, just this once, I'll let Renton Thurston be the hero.
Approach alert! The smallest gap is only 250 meters!
That doesn't matter! Doggie, go!
Roger!
Returning Gekko to level flight!
Calculating the points where trajectory flight is possible!
If we use corridor 999, we can reach it in four hours!
We're six hours from the deflection point!
Six hours... That's pushing it.
I hope she can keep it up for that long.
Not good. Antibody Coralians confirmed at 0100 and 0140!
In Corridor 999!
What?!
No... Right in our shortest course.
There's no time to debate.
Understood.
Combat formation!
After firing the main cannons and all AAMs,
we will use our boosters to break through the middle!
Roger!
Direct hit on rear starboard side!
Rear booster pressure is falling!
No good! We'll never make initial space speed at this rate!
I'll fight with you guys!
Don't worry. Leave the fighting to us.
But...
All you need to do is think about Eureka.
Please Renton, trust us.
Holland...
Mama!
Answer us, Mama!
It's no good. She won't answer us at all...
Don't cry! I'm sure Mama will hear us!
That's right!
Maurice.
I want you to hold onto this for a while.
It's something important to me.
Where are you going?
I'm going to go see Nirvash.
Maybe if I use Nirvash's Amita Drive, I can make something happen.
Maybe it will activate. And if it does...
Understand, Maurice?
You're the big brother, so you have to protect Maeter and Linck!
Right!
Then I'll get going.
Wait!
Renton, take this.
For luck.
This is Eureka's.
You're going, right?
Because Nirvash won't work without Mama.
Right.
We're out of AAMs!
That just leaves the homing lasers...
Doggie, evasive action! Do it faster!
You're asking for the impossible! Half our engines are dead!
Don't give up!
If we lose hope here, it's all over.
There must be a way... There must be a way out!
Listen to me, Nirvash.
We've been traveling together ever since you fell down onto my house.
We met all sorts of people, and we parted with them.
Those are very important memories for me.
But on that journey, Eureka was always at my side.
We've been traveling together all this time.
And yet... still...
Please, Nirvash!
I don't want it to end like this!
I need Eureka at my side!
A direct hit?!
No! That explosion came from the inside! From inside!
Impossible!
Holland! Talho!
I've got an unknown trapar signal on the upper deck!
What?!
RENTON
What the hell is this?!
Nirvash.
But, this form... What in the world?
It's Renton.
We can tell.
He's going to ride it to go save Mama! Renton is!
Got a connection! Renton! Are you in there?!
The Amita Drive responded!
What?!
I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it'll be all right! I can go!
But!
Nirvash answered you, didn't he?
Maurice...
Please, go save Mama!
Only our Papa can save our Mama!
Yeah... I know.
Go, Renton.
Take back the woman you've fallen for.
You're a man, right?!
Yeah!
I...
can...
FLY!
Forgive me, Eureka.
I have to defeat some of your race.
But if you tell me that's a sin, I'll bear it!
Because, no matter what, I have to get to you!
And there he goes.
Yeah, there he goes.
Aw, I blew it!
Jeez, it went by too fast. That was my last chance, too.
Too bad.
Well, you'll have plenty of time when he gets back.
You don't get it.
He was someone who never fit within a frame before.
but he finally jumped out of the frame we formed around him.
There's no way that he'll return.
Renton has flown out of the nest. The nest called Gekkostate.
All of us need to send him off. Our son, flying from the nest.
Jeez... Graduating without our consent...
I'll take good care of the little ones for you.
So make sure to win Eureka back, Renton.
Eureka...
Wait for me, Eureka!
I'm coming for you!
Renton...
Renton!
EUREKA!
Don't just say "bye-bye" like that!
Eureka, don't try to go by yourself!
You came... You really came!
I promised you, right? That I'd protect you, no matter what.
That we'd always be together.
But I can't go back now.
If you're going to choose...
to no longer be a Coralian in order to save this planet,
then I choose to no longer be a human.
I cherish this planet where I was able to find you,
and everyone who lives on this planet is dear to me.
But I don't want to lose you for their sake.
You look good like that.
Renton...
Let's become one, Eureka.
I won't let you be all alone!
Yes.
I can bear this, Renton, as long as I'm with you.
Mama...
Renton!
Thank you.
Nirvash.
Your emotions have all been engraved into my Compac.
At last, I will be able to attain enlightenment.
Now, live. On this planet.
Live together, and show the way to all who live on this planet.
With the light called "hope."
Nirvash...
Not all beings can remain in this land.
Half of them will depart with us.
But, Renton... Eureka...
If this world evolves for the better and two are able to become one,
we will show ourselves before you once more.
I will believe that such a day will someday come.
Thank you, Nirvash.
Thank you, everyone.
Renton, let's go home.
Yeah. To our planet.
What the hell is this?!
Can this be?!
This is the Second Summer of Love.
From here on, with you in this universe and us in a separate one,
we shall seek a way for scub coral and humans to coexist.
Wait, what are you talking about?!
There's no reason that there cannot be more than one path of evolution.
I enjoyed staying with you all this time. Thank you.
Gonzy... Don't tell me you're a!
Oh, brother...
To think that a Coralian was watching over us the whole time.
Holland... Then, perhaps...
That's obvious. He became one.
A true hero, more so than his own father.
ONE YEAR LATER
Wow!
Time to eat!
Hey, wipe your hands!
RESIDENCY IDENTIFICATION I'm fine!
RESIDENCY IDENTIFICATION No, Linck, you have to wipe them!
Come on!
Renton Thurston Eureka Thurston Maurice Thurston Maeter Thurston Linck Thurston
Grandpa.
You're not going to eat? It's going to get cold.
Oh, that's right. I should eat it quickly.
Our coming is causing you trouble, isn't it?
To eat a Big-Burg...
It's a Thurston family tradition to do that when we confirm family ties.
Now, let's eat.
If we don't hurry, the moon will rise.
Right!
Every member of my family leaves this town.
But Renton was the only one who came back.
I now have incomparable great-grandchildren.
That's proof more than anything else.
Grandpa!
The tram's here!
Oh! Let's hurry!
Wow!
C-Come now! Don't make an old man run so much!
EUREKA RENTON
What are you doing, Sis?
Wishing upon a star.
For Mama and Renton to come back soon!
Me, too!
Hurry home with that young lady, Renton.
The children are waiting for you.
THE END
The end!
