Now, a miracle is about to be created upon this planet.
One hot summer day…
…I died.
Hovering between life and death…
…as I watched life on this planet facing its demise…
…he spoke to me.
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.
Reactors 1, 2, and 3. Core temperatures decreasing.
Confirming shut down of reactor.
Reactor 4 malfunction in the operation of the control rods.
The reactor will not shut down!
The control rods won’t move?!
We must issue an order to evacuate the surrounding area.
Quiet.
There are a few things we can try.
Switch the system over to manual.
Has the ECCS been activated yet?
Check the emergency route to the safety valves of the reactor core!
Juna!
Tokio!
Confirming Earth Sympathy Reaction!
That girl couldn’t be…
…the Avatar of Time.

Episode 2: The Blue Light
Dogasaki Nuclear Power Plant
Hey, what are you doing here?
What are YOU doing here?
I was worried about you, so I…
H-Hey…
– Hey, you freak. – Huh?!
This is no time to be messing around!
Wh-What’re you…
Where are you watching from?
A Raaja’s right in front of you, you know.
That’s right!
Hey, who are you talking to?
Oh, no!
What… What am I supposed to do?
A holy bow that brings light…
…and purges the filthy demons.
It is Gan Deeva.
Gan Deeva…?
Do you have the ability to use it?
Wha…?!
I just have to do it, right?! Just do it, right?!
This is really heavy.
H-Hey…
Were you hit in the head?
There’s no way you can take Chris’ place.
No way…!
Screw up.
No!
Zero time response confirmed!
Space-time resonance fluctuating wildly!
The Omega pattern!
She couldn’t possibly…
…be able to summon Ashura already?!
Stay calm! Put out the fires!
We must limit the damage!
This is bad. At this rate, the reactor core will…
The fool.
She’s been taken over by fear.
Descend immediately. I’ll go myself.
– No! It’s too dangerous! – Just do it!
All right.
Bring the helicopter to the battle area immediately.
H-Hey, Juna…?
H-Hey…
What’re you doing?!
Primary cooling system is leaking!
And the ECCS is no longer operable.
Malfunction in the pressure pipes.
The injection system will not function.
Where’s the trouble in the pipes?
We can’t determine that since the sensors have been damaged.
What?!
Reactor No. 4. Core temperature increasing.
There will be a meltdown in 20 minutes.
Issue an evacuation order to all personnel…
…and residents in the surrounding area.
But, Chief…
We cannot let this get any worse.
Yes, sir.
Are you going to run away?
Now, you people as well!
Chris?
Look.
What is that?
The divine protector of time, Ashura.
A servant who protects you.
Why did you summon Ashura?
What?! I summoned it?
That’s right.
But…
That must be to fight against…
Don’t be stupid.
– Who told you to fight? – Huh?
What’re you talking about?
You’re the one who told me to fight the monster.
I never told you to fight.
You’re kidding.
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.
That’s why… That’s why I fought.
You fool.
Was that the only way you understood it?
You were unable to understand…
…the meaning of words for what they are.
I was really scared.
So I fought!
The reactor building!
Has anyone seen Chief Dojima?!
Don’t tell me…!
I fought as hard as I could.
Oh dear. You sure are trouble.
H-Hey…
That Chris…
– Will you cut that out?! – Tokio…
You…
What’s going on here, anyway?!
Tell me what the heck’s going on!
Well, it’s just that…
The fool.
It’s not over yet.
What? It’s not over yet?
No Unauthorized Entry
This isn’t the end yet.
No! I want to stay here!
If neither I nor Teresa return…
…we’ll need someone who can train her properly.
That’s impossible!
She’s a total coward!
How could an ugly girl like that take your place anyway?!
What’re you doing to me?! Let me go! Let go!
No, Chris!
Chris…
Earth Maiden Arjuna
Brainwaves unstable.
We can only recognize one phase of the Earth Sympathy wave.
I’ll put up the simulation based on the weather data.
Earth Safety Institute S.E.E.D. Far Eastern Headquarters I’ll put up the simulation based on the weather data.
Earth Safety Institute S.E.E.D. Far Eastern Headquarters
In the worst case scenario…
…all of the Kansai region will be affected.
Maybe it was too much for a highschool girl to handle.
When it comes, the capital of a thousand years…
…will become a city where nobody can live.
What a disaster.
These safety devices are crap…
Unfortunately, it looks like I win the bet.
What’s the matter, Chris?
Did something happen to you?
A fragment of the Raaja came after me.
No…
It’s all your fault!
You’re the Avatar of Time…
…but you can’t do anything!
What am I supposed to do?
Yeah! This has nothing to do with us!
Keep your mouth shut, Kid!
Kid?!
That’s right.
You don’t understand anything.
Listen…
…if that blows up, even the city you live in will be in danger.
The city…
You only worry if it has to do with you.
If it doesn’t, then you couldn’t care less.
Well…
You should be able to see it.
I can only hear voices…
…if you really are the Avatar of Time…
…you should see with your spirit.
Do you realize how desperately…
…Chris and Teresa are working to save everyone?
Don’t move.
This incredible steam…
It reminds me of the steam trains I saw as a child.
Ever since I first saw that big chunk of steel…
…blowing clouds of steam…
…and charging across the fields of snow…
…I knew I wanted to build a machine like that one day.
But a nuclear reactor has too many risks.
Besides, once you include the costs…
…of construction and waste…
…it’s no longer economically viable.
Many countries have either cancelled construction…
…or closed down nuclear power plants.
You don’t have to tell me that.
Fifteen years ago…
Just fifteen years ago…
…before the economic bubble burst.
We had to keep up with the power demand of those heady times.
But we can eliminate all the nuclear power plants…
And do without air conditioning…
…for two weeks in mid summer.
No. We’re not even able to do that.
That’s why…
…we have to ensure safety, at the very least.
Everyone…
I’m going.
I’m going to try again.
H-Hey!
Are you serious?
Keep quiet, kid.
You said it.
There’s no end to this!
All right!
Juna!
The wind! The light!
The land!
Juna!
Hey, girl!
Get inside! I’ll take care of this!
Are you sure?
If you lose control of Ashura…
…this place will be…
It’s better than doing nothing!
Don’t miss this time.
Come on! Come on!
What’re you doing?!
I’m over here!
Darn! This isn’t the one either!
Too bad. Where to next?
Chris!
Did you find it?
What the hell is that?
One of my people has found the malfunction.
What?
Let’s go.
But…
You must keep what you saw to yourself.
Besides…
…people wouldn’t believe you, even if you did tell them.
Who are you people, anyway?
Now, hang on tight!
Don’t be afraid.
Don’t be afraid…
…even if your body were to be ripped apart.
What?
That’s right.
You must feel the present.
One…
The body effortlessly permeates through all of the universe.
Two…
Compose oneself, and exhale onto the earth.
You all right?
Now, let’s hurry up!
Three…
Look far, far beyond the limitless…
Juna…
It’s done!
Four…
It’s not to shoot the target.
But rather to become one…
– We somehow made it in time. – Yes.
– What’s that?! – Can’t be!
Become one with the target.
Become one!
Too late!
Juna!
What is this?
Was the Raaja born…
…from the injured Earth?
You must have suffered, too.
What is this?!
Have we been saved?
Juna…
Were you the one that saved me?
That was quite perilous.
Your body is too filthy.
Huh?
That filth created your fear…
…and made you blind to the truth.
What do you mean?
You must cleanse that filth.
What?
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
