Now, a miracle is about to be created upon this planet.
Feel how filthy your body is…
…and what it means to be alive.
You are now standing at the crossroads of destiny.
Hey, what do you want from me?!
Juna!
Tokio!
Juna!
Earth Maiden Arjuna
Episode 3: Tears of the Forest
Over the Japan Alps
I want my Juna back!
It’s strange of you to say that.
Do you own her?
Oh, that wasn’t me just now.
Chris said it.
Wh-Who are you guys…?
I’m Cindy.
I’m like an interpreter for Chris so he can…
…talk to simpletons like you.
Then why don’t you ask him this.
What’s he doing with Juna?
Chris can hear what you’re saying.
Juna’s going to be spending some time on her own.
This is going to be her survival training. So, there.
That’s crazy!
Leave an ordinary girl alone in the mountains…
…and she’ll die the first night!
One person’s life…
…weighs heavier than the earth.
That may sound nice and all…
…but the earth is reaching its sustainable limit…
…and it has no choice but to force a girl to make a sacrifice.
I don’t like to say this…
…but you should forget about her.
What…?!
Besides, you both have totally different spiritual vibes.
It’s incredible that you can even be girlfriend and boyfriend.
Oh, those were my words.
What?
When your spiritual vibes are at odds…
…that’s bad.
You little brat!
Who do you think you are?!
I mean, it was like that with my mom and dad.
They always fought over me.
In the end, my dad shot my mom with a hunting rifle…
…and then he killed himself.
You’re kidding, right?
Did you believe me?
What the…? You were joking?
Rain?
We’ll deliver your motorcycle, so don’t you worry about that.
Oh, you can tell other people about us…
…but they’re just going to think you’re talking nonsense.
Bye.
Juna!
I’m coming, Juna!
Juna…!
And in the mountains…
…there will be some heavy rains from evening into early morning.
Next on the news…
At 5:20, late yesterday afternoon…
…an accident occurred at the Dogasaki Nuclear Power Plant.
According to plant authorities…
…only a minute amount…
What a bunch of lies.
It really is all lies.
The doctor at the hospital lies about Juna dying…
…and my husband lies about splitting up with that woman…
…and even you tell me that some foreigners have taken Juna away.
Saving the planet, huh?
Maybe you’ve been watching too much TV.
They’re just going to think you’re talking nonsense.
That girl wasn’t born until past her due date.
Unlike Kaine, her sister who’s four years older…
…hers was such a difficult birth.
Thanks to the help of the doctors…
…I somehow managed to give birth to her safely.
She’s always been a rambunctious girl since she was born.
She sure had a lot of energy.
Her father and I got divorced.
That day, when Juna was in that accident, it became official.
And she got all upset and took off from the hospital, right?
She probably doesn’t want me to know where she is.
But that’s okay with me.
As long as she’s alive.
No!
Game set.
Who would’ve thought the chosen one would be a girl like that?
I know. You didn’t have anyone else you could choose.
I know that.
I must’ve fallen from there.
Water…
You can’t drink this water.
What?! But, why not?
Earth Maiden Arjuna
Hey, Tokio.
You’re by yourself today?
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Juna around at summer practice.
Did something happen?
Who knows.
That’s not a good answer.
Weren’t you the one who was supposed to protect her?
Besides, you both have totally different spiritual vibes.
It’s incredible that you can even be girlfriend and boyfriend.

Darn! It’s a dead end.
Everyone’s eating…
They didn’t have to be taught anything…
…but they know what they can eat.
But I can’t… I…
That’s strange…
That’s really strange…
TI-2. Significant drop in biological response.
That’s a problem.
Hey, Captain. Standby for rescue.
What’s the rush, all of a sudden?
That ugly girl probably just realized it now.
That she’s just a pathetic life form…
…that can’t even tell what she can or can’t eat.
Right, Chris?
Chris, whatever you may say…
…I think this is her limit.
– Her bio response is weak. Still dropping. – What?
Long ago, in ancient times…
…one of those chosen as a priest of the gods…
…set out alone into the catacombs…
…below the shrine of the goddess of fertility.
He survived for many days without water or food.
And during that time…
…his duty was to report all of the happenings…
…in the world that he sensed by resonating with the planet.
But a mountain range is not a shrine.
There’s too much risk for a novice like her who has barely awakened.
This is clearly different.
This is not a man-made structure like a shrine.
The mountain is the true shrine.
The true shrine…
Ow…
Klutz…
That’s totally bogus.
They lied about being able to set it up in five minutes.

I’m still…
…alive.
Earth sympathy wave! Reaching the 2nd tier.
No way…
The bugs are glowing.
Glowing…
The mountains too…
And me, too…
That stinks! Huh?
What the heck is that?
What is this place?
Tokio?
The Aura Wave has hit!
I’m sure it was a fluke.
The fool…
Chris?
Could that be… Juna?!
Why kill?
Chris!
It tried to hurt Tokio.
Besides, you told me to protect the earth!
You’re going to kill just for that?
Just for that?
Juna!
Tokio?!
You’re still alive, Juna!
No…
Get out of the way!
Why do you kill?
What?!
You really came to find me, Tokio.
Of course I did.
But how did you know I was here?
Call it the vibes of your spirit.
Tokio. You stink.
That’s not true. And what about you?
I see.
The chemicals from this dump polluted that lake.
I wonder how far this goes for?
Who knows.
Maybe down this mountain and all the way to the sea.
The sea, huh?
There’s nothing we can do. It’s the way things are.
Isn’t there anything we can do? Can’t we change this?
I doubt we could do anything.
No matter what?
Probably.
Arjuna
I set my sights far away
Over and over, I call out your name
Beyond time and the heavens
I want to say I’m protecting you
Even the cool air
Has penetrated deep in my heart
It won’t steal the warmth
How fleeting my love still is
I aim my sights far away
Over and over, I call out your name
Beyond time and the heavens
I want to say I’m protecting you
I learned while I was deep in the mountains.
