Can you hear them?
The cries of those who've been robbed of human feelings?
To us, dying is not sadness.
Sadness is being unable to live as a human being.
But there's nothing I can do...
Vagan's stronghold,
known as Second Moon.
Though we predicted something like this, I didn't think the colony would be so big.
We'll be entering their defense perimeter soon.
It'll be pretty difficult to get Kio back.
That's treasure for you.
It's never easy to get.
That's true, too.
Hold on, Kio.
I'm going to save you.
The Mars settlement plan.
The people left behind in the Mars Sphere in the wake of its failure
formed the independent nation of Vagan,
and launched a war against the Earth Federation government.
70 years have already passed
since the conflict began.
todokasete kono mune ni
Let your voice reach my heart
kasuka ni nokoru kimi no koe wo
though it lingers but faintly in the air

In a world that I know is not a dream

I kept wandering
tachidomaru no mo mae ni susumu koto mo
Halting in your tracks and walking ahead proudly
atozusari na ki ga shiteta
both seemed too fearsome a choice
tojikomerareta shikakui sora no shita
Here on the board, where we are bound to

I tried to breathe softly to blend in
tsumetai hoho wo tsutawaru kako no yowasa nugutte
I swept away the weakness of the past trailing down my cheeks
hikari sasu basho he kono te wo nobasu yo
and held out my hands to the light
todokasete kono mune ni
Let your voice reach my heart
kasuka ni nokoru kimi no koe wo
though it lingers but faintly in the air

In a world that I know is not a dream

I kept searching

I will let my feelings and my voice

Through days without end

I will be proud, be strong

Episode 38 Fugitive Kio
Grandpa told me that Ezelcant is a wicked devil and that Vagan must be defeated.
But is that true?
I want to meet more people!
I want to go more places!
I want a real life...
That girl... Lu... She never did anything wrong.
Kio.
Lord Ezelcant wants to have a word with you.
I'd like your help with something.
As you may have guessed, it's about your mobile suit.
Our new Gundam is in the final stages of completion.
But there's just one problem.
The pilot's authentication device uses sophisticated encryption.
We're having trouble deciphering it completely.
Perhaps, if we had that boy's biometrics and ID code...
Why are you deciphering the device?
You don't need to know.
Fine.
I'll help you.
But I have a condition.
I want to get some medicine.
That girl... Lu... I want her to get better.
Darling...
Well?
Give me the medicine, and I'll help you.
No medicine can truly cure this disease.
It can only ease the symptoms. Is that enough?
Yes.
Very well.
I'll have it prepared.
Authentication complete.
We have also collected the encryption protocol data.
That's what you needed, right?
Thank you, Mr. Ezelcant!
Who's there?
Kio!
I told you not to come here anymore.
Kio? Is that Kio?
Kio!
You came to visit!
Yeah!
I missed you!
Lu...
Kio, I don't know how to thank you.
It's nothing...
I feel better already!
It doesn't work that fast.
It does! I'm sure it does!
Thank you so much, Kio!
But how did you get your hands on such valuable medicine?
Well, you know...
Hey, Kio!
Have dinner with us.
That's okay, right, Brother?
Yeah, sure.
Stay here as long as you like.
I'm sorry for what I said the other day.
Hey, Kio.
Will you come visit again?
You will, right?
I hope you come back, too.
See you tomorrow, Lu.
See you later!
Later, then.
How often has he been going there?
When I see that boy, it's like Romy is alive again.
Wow, that's great!
Did you draw that?
You're pretty good at drawing, aren't you?
Hey, come over here!
What are you doing?
What's that?
Ta-da!
Guess who!
It's me...?
I drew it in my diary.
It's from the day you came.
And this?
What's wrong?
I drew a diary of the future...
"I went for a walk with Kio."
"We went to go sightseeing at the Junkpile."
I can't go outside, but...
I still wish I could have memories like these.
Lu.
Why don't you go, then?
You've taken Kio's medicine.
You can go out for a bit.
Really?!
Okay, see you later!
Yeah.
Kio...
Yeah, I know.
Kio, hurry!
Hey, where are we going?
I don't really know this area.
To an awesome place—the Junkpile!
The place you mentioned in your diary?
Yup! I went there all the time before I got sick.
It's got the best view around here.
I see.
Kio! Over here!
nagai kono michi no you ni
I wish this moment would go on forever
ima ga tsudzuitara ii na
just like this path we're on...
oka no ue de mita keshiki wa
The scene we saw from the hilltop
seisan no hi wo katatteita
revealed these terrible days
soredemo kimi ga ita kara
Even so, the world was filled with color
sekai wa irodorareteku
because you were there
sayonara ga soko ni matteitemo
Even if a goodbye waits for me there
atatakai yasashisa wo idaite
there's a warm gentleness too
kimi ga mou kanashii omoi wo shinai you ni
I showed you the biggest smile I could
omoikiri waratte misetan da
so you wouldn't be sad anymore
motto jouzu ni dekita hazu na no ni
I should have been better at it,
namida wa shoujiki da ne...
but my tears are honest
ikiru yorokobi wo shitte
Knowing the joys of living,
"shiawase..." to tsubuyaite mita
"I'm happy..." I whispered
This is it!
Kio! Look, over there!
Well? Pretty, isn't it?
So pretty...
Earth is probably even prettier than this.
I want to go...
My dream came true.
The one in my diary.
Thank you, Kio.
We're home!
That was so much fun!
It sure was.
Lu!
Are you okay, Lu?
I'm fine, just fine.
You must be tired from being outside.
You should lie down.
Well?
She's sleeping.
Thanks, Kio.
At first, I didn't want you coming back, but...
Even with the medicine, Lu doesn't have much time left.
So...
That's why I want her to keep smiling as much as possible.
I'll come back.
Yeah. Thanks.
Vagan's invisible umbrella sure is amazing.
We're putting this unit we took from the wreckage of one of their battleships to good use.
That's a pirate's specialty, right?
Let's begin!
The treasure we're hunting for in today's mission is Kio Asuno.
Dark Hound, launching!
Enemies, here?
Yes.
The Bisidian seem to have used the invisible umbrella to sneak up on us.
I can't believe they got a hold of our technology...
I'll leave our response to you.
Minimize the damage.
Sir!
Mary, don't let Kio Asuno out of his room.
Understood.
You guys arrange for the recovery of the Gundam.
I'll rescue Kio.
Yes, sir.
Now, where could Kio be?
Let's see...
Sector A23,
fortify the area above the palace!
Roger!
Roger here, too!
What's happening?
Open up!
Open up! Please!
Here they are!
This is an emotional reunion.
Have some consideration!
Sorry. I don't have time for you.
I found you, Kio!
What?
Kio, where are you?
There...?
Kio!
Sorry it took so long.
Dad?
That's you, isn't it, Dad?!
Yeah.
They're here already?
We can talk more later.
Get in, quickly!
Don't let him get away!
We're going to your Gundam.
I know you have some reservations,
but trust me.
I swear I'm going to rescue you from this Second Moon place.
This is Captain Ash.
How's the AGE-3?
We're all ready.
We made it into the hangar's control system.
Ready any time!
Okay, do it!
Roger!
Hey, why is the gate opening?
Over there?
What?
Open fire!
Now go, quickly!
Yeah!
Hey!
I got this for you!
Over there!
After him!
Let's go, Kio! We're getting out of here!
Hurry up, Kio!
I can't go yet!
There's something I have to do.
What?!
There's something I have to give to my friends!
How can you say that now?
Hey wait, Kio!
Lu!
She was smiling... right until the end.
I think Lu was happy. Thanks to you.
That's not true. I... didn't do...
Look at this.
When Lu met you... she learned the meaning of hope.
Kio, you are...
Kio, come to the rendezvous point I'm sending you!
We're escaping!
Lu wrote about the future... her future memories... in that diary.
All the way into the future...
"Today I went to the park with Kio."
"I enjoyed the swings, the seesaw...
and everything else."
"Today Kio had a cold."
"This time, it was my turn to nurse him...
just like he does for me. I was by his side all the time."
"Today it's Kio's birthday."
"This is the message I wrote in the card:
When I'm with you, I feel better."
"So I'm sure that I'm going to get well again."
Kio, we're breaking through the gate!
Lu...
"Thank you, Kio!"
"Thank you!"
"When I'm with you, the world seems so bright."
"Then I came to Earth with Kio."
"From where we're standing, a new life will begin..."
Lu!
What is that?
matou shiroi kibou ni inochi wo azuke
I devote my life to the brilliant hopes I have,

"I loved you", you said, before you passed away,

The red fires that showed within your unbelievably gentle eyes

We vowed we would never run away again

I live through these painful times as a brave, steadfast warrior

I should push ahead if I believe in the path we chose

the tears of the past will guide me through a future

where all is at stake
Next Time
Having come to know his enemy, Kio wavers.
Kio's and Ezelcant's feelings collide in crimson space.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Door to the New World."
Door to the New World
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Second Moon
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 3800 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Vagan base Second Moon comprises a large portion of the residential colony floating above Mars.
From here, the Vagan leader Ezelcant commands the Vagan troops fighting in the Earth sphere.
Look Forward To Next Time!
