Life was created on this planet…
…and countless species have appeared and disappeared.
Even if human beings were to become extinct…
…the Earth will continue to journey across the galaxy.
Human history, after all…
…is but a mere flicker…
…in the long history of time.
Then, why?
Why are you searching?
For a new era?
Why?
Now, a miracle is about to be created upon this planet.
Good.
One…
The body effortlessly permeates through all of the universe.
Two…
Compose oneself, and exhale onto the earth.
Juna!
Three…
In Use Three…
Look far, far beyond the limitless.
One hot summer day…
…I died.
And then I saw…
This planet…
…as it faced its death in the future.

Episode 1: The Drop of Time
Four…
It’s not to shoot the target.
But rather to become one…
…with the target.
Maybe it’s just not for me.
It’s not to shoot the target.
But rather to become one with the target.
Yeah, right…
I want to become one with you.
Don’t get so down about this, Juna.
You still have the fall competition coming up.
My mom said that…
…a girl like me should practice the tea ceremony or flower arrangement.
That’s when I decided to get into archery.
But I haven’t improved after all these years.
I always end up getting emotional and choking.
Did something happen to you?
Huh?!
Nothing…
Nothing’s happened to me!
Look, if you don’t want to tell me…
…don’t feel like you have to, you know.
It’s coming.
He got it!
Hey, Tokio…
Why do birds bother with catching fish?
What?
I mean, birds can fly.
They have wings and all, and can fly freely.
Why would they bother diving into the water to catch fish?
Well, that’s because…
That’s a weird question.
I mean, they can fly.
They can catch other flying creatures like insects or smaller birds.
Well, when you put it that way…
I know. They like it!
Like it?
That’s right.
Those birds probably like the taste of fish.
They like it, huh?
Yeah!
I wonder how far you can see…
…if you can fly so high.
You might be able to see to the ends of the earth.
Ends of the earth, huh?
Hey, Tokio.
The sea. Let’s go to the sea.
Huh?
Come on. Let’s go. The sea!
You have a fever or something?
I guess not.
Do you know where you are?
The sea is right there!
This isn’t the sea.
What?
It just seems so bound up and constricting.
I feel suffocated.
You sure are demanding.
It’s still a lot better than the sea in Tokyo, you know.
All right!
How about we head up north?
Up north?
If we take off now…
…we can catch the sun dip into the wild waters of the Sea of Japan.
Tokio!
All right!
Look, the birds…
Huh? That’s me down there.
Don’t die, Juna!
Tokio?
Is that Tokio?
Juna…
Tokio?
Hey, Tokio.
I’m here! I’m right here!
Don’t tell me I…
…died?
Wh-What is this…?!
So beautiful…!
What…?!
N-No…!
I’ve found you. I’ve found you…
I’ve found you…
I’ve finally found you.
The one who will save all life on this planet.
I’ve found you…
…Juna.
What?!
You will purify the demons that bring on the end.
Juna, the Avatar of Time who will lead the way to the future.
Who are you? Who are you, anyway?
I am Chris.
I will protect you and give you guidance.
Chris?
What… What is that?
They will bring about the end of this planet.
The Raaja.
Raaja?
You will fight them.
Demons that must be purged.
Demons?
Fight them?
But, why…?
Why do I have to fight those monsters?
Juna, Avatar of Time.
Life on this planet…
…is about to face extinction.
If you are able to fight the Raaja…
…purge this planet of them, and lead the way to the future…
…I will save your life this one time.
My life?
You really can do that?
I’m sorry.
I did the best I could, but…
No…
How could this be…?
Juna! Where’s Juna?!
Juna! Juna!
Huh? Could that be…?
Tokio…! Mom…!
Juna…!
Tokio! Mom!
– I’ll ask you again. – Huh?
If you will take our place…
…and fight the Raaja…
…and purge this world of them…
…I will…
…I will save your life.
But, that’s impossible.
There’s no way I can fight it.
How do you know that?
How would you know without even trying?
Well I…
Juna! Come on, open your eyes!
Tokio…
Tokio!
Earth Maiden Arjuna
Juna…
– Doctor! There’s a pulse! – What?
– I have to go. – Huh?
I have to go.
Juna…
Are you all right?
– Juna! – Nurse Okada, find that patient!
Get on.
Come on! Take it easy!
Juna!
Tokio?
What is this?!
What’s going on?!
Sorry, I…
I have to go.
W-Wait!
Tokio… Mom…
What’s going on…?
Th-Thank you very much.
Uh, um…
Who are you?!
Don’t tell me…
Don’t tell me this child…
It’s your fault.
Because of you, Chris was…
Wh-Where are you?
You’re awfully slow, you dimwit.
Huh? Was that you?
In order to save you…
…Chris sacrificed himself.
Wh-Why, you little…
You little brat! Don’t accuse me!
Is this some kind of joke?
He’s the one who said he would save me!
N-No way…
Th-This girl’s reading my mind…
You just realized that, you dimwit?
Don’t be so shocked by a little telepathy.
It’s okay, Cindy.
Chris, don’t force yourself.
Juna, Avatar of Time.
You will now be working with us as a member of S.E.E.D.
S.E.E.D?
I give you the Drop of Time.
Huh? A power stone?
The Drop of Time…
…was created by people who lived in ancient times.
The Drop of Time?
It is a holy stone…
…that can gain the power of the Earth…
…by sympathizing with the planet.
Sympathizing with the planet?
Wh-What is this?
Malfunction in the primary cooling system.
Voltage dropping in circuits A-7 and B-5.
There’s a disturbance in Reactor 4.
What’s the cause?
We’re still investigating…
…but I don’t see any abnormalities in the control circuits.
I see.
I’m Teresa Wong of the S.E.E.D. Investigation Bureau.
We’re here to investigate magnetic anomalies detected in the area.
I’m Dojima, I’m in charge of the reactor.
What the hell is all that crap?!
I don’t know what strings you pulled over our chairman…
…but our facilities are perfect.
I don’t appreciate outsiders coming in and having their way with things.
Of course, we don’t intend to interfere.
However, I can’t imagine that any technology can be perfect.
Look…
…our reactors have three back-up safety systems…
…which are able to handle any situation.
Would you wager on that?
No way!
How can I protect a nuclear reactor…
…on my own!
Don’t be afraid.
Abandon your fears…
…and awaken the power of the planet that lies within you.
Power of the planet?
Don’t be afraid.
No matter what may happen…
…you must restrain your fears and doubts…
…as once you become one with the planet…
…a path shall open up before you.
Come on! Don’t I have any say in this?!
What?!
Abnormal traces approaching.
– It’s coming. – What?!
Stay calm. Start the emergency generators.
All sections, check safety systems.
Yes, sir.
Reactors 2 and 3…
…automatic shut down system commencing.
What about Reactors 1 and 4?
Not working.
Perhaps a malfunction from the voltage mishap from earlier.
Remove the reactor rods immediately.
Yes, sir!
Is it fear?
I think you made a mistake.
How can an ugly girl like her take your place as the Avatar of Time?
A fire?!
Chris, when will the Avatar of Time awaken?
I suppose there’s no avoiding it.
Chris, are you all right?!
Where to? Where?
Wh-What is this bird?!
Bird?
That couldn’t be…?!
Juna?!
What the…?!
Juna! Are you there?!
No… Tokio…?
Juna!
Tokio!
– Tokio! – Juna!
Tokio!
Confirming Earth Sympathy Reaction!
That girl couldn’t be…
…the Avatar of Time.
Juna…
It’s started to move.
For me and the earth.
And also, for him.
A new era has begun.
Arjuna
Yesterday’s rains
Brought cold stars to the eastern city
Quietly and sadly
You hum my favorite song
I have to go, or no one will save
The boy who wandered
Into the deep darkness
With love alone, I will go
No matter where you are
I will go running straight to you
So, in a loud voice
Call out my name again and again
