Guess we don't have a choice.
Yeah! This is my last big deal!
We're going to create our own future!
Everyone ready?
Kaien!
Oh, yes!
Kaien! That was too fast!
Don't Say Goodbye Lionel
Nothing's even happened and we already blew our load?!
The dirty woman shot it all over his face!
Curse you!
It's rude to start right off with a facial.
You thought you could use your limited knowledge
from dirty magazines and porn to defeat me?!
Here it comes!
Hurry! Move out of the way!
Who does what when we want to dodge?!
Everybody just dodge!
Combine our power!
Let's go!
The name is Kaien, from the Kaientai!
I look forward to doing business with you!
We combined our idiocy!
H-He dodged it!
He miraculously dodged the beam when he presented his business card!
Kaien
Why is this robot handing out business cards in the middle of a fight?!
Kaien was built for dealing with giant clients.
It's only capable of doing business.
How are we supposed to fight then?!
Here it comes!
Here comes the second wave!
Time for you to learn that business is also a fight!
Let's do this, Kagura!
Okay, Mucchi!
Galactic Merchant Lesson 1!
Businesses are built from the bottom up!
You have to do legwork to make money!
Even when your customers yell and scream at you, never give up!
Never cry!
Never stop moving those legs!
Keep running until they've felt your merchant soul!
I-It kicked the missile back!
Kagura-chan! Mutsu-san!
I guess this is it.
The rest is up to you, boys.
Kagura-chan! Mutsu-san!
Curse you, you piece of junk!
It's too late to resist now!
Galactic Merchant Lesson 2!
Even when you're up close with a customer and on the verge of making a deal,
the customer won't make it easy for you.
When they give you suspicious looks,
when they turn down your proposals,
never give up!
Never cry!
Never close off your heart!
Sakamoto-san!
You will find your answer when your back is against the wall
in the form of a single ray of light
shooting from the bloody whirlwind!
Gin-san!
Pachi-boy, show them how strong we are.
How annoying.
You sacrificed yourself to disable my arms?
However, you can't move either when all you have left is a pimple.
Your luck has run out.
Galactic Merchant Lesson 3!
I-Impossible! The pimple...!
If you want your customers to open up, you must first...
...open up yourself!
No signs.
No script.
Use your own words to express yourself!
True freedom for the Renho!
Bring peace to earth, to the universe!
Actraiser three meals a day!
I join my friends...
For tomorrow!
C-Curse you all!
Everyone's spilling their guts.
Shouldn't you join in, Sagi?
H-How can this be?
Was it during that first attack?
This was the only way I could protect everyone from your attack.
You intend to die here with me?!
I have no regrets.
Our planet may be gone, but we have a new home.
A planet which has welcomed us with many smiles.
Curse you!
Well, I've revealed my most embarrassing secret!
It's your turn now!
Show me your naughty parts.
St-Stop this!
Everyone watch me!
This is the last time I expose myself!
Peek inside!
Th-The planet's core...
Cool Lady Fumiko!
Eren... Everyone...
I was finally able to write the story I've always wanted to write.
With the universe as a canvas,
I can write a story about how we become
friends with the Earthlings.
And I have everyone helping me.
Don't look.
I found this in the room.
What is it that I'm not supposed to look for?
Or does it count as looking when I'm looking for whatever it is
that I'm not supposed to be looking for?
In that case, I'll have to look for someone to look for what I'm not supposed to look for,
before deciding if I should look or if I should not look.
So I'm looking for someone who's willing to look for the answer.
But if I'm not supposed to look,
then I can't look for the someone to look for the someone
to look for the someone to look for the...
You're making this too hard.
It's like you're lost in a maze of what not to look for.
Don't look...
I won't.
It's pretty obvious what this is.
He ran away from home.
R-Ran away from home?!
Impossible! Unfathomable!
He had no reason to be unhappy!
The last time I saw him...
Th-The last...
Who was he?
Beats me.
General Eren!
Hey! General Eren is awake!
This is wonderful!
We've been so worried, General!
Where are we...
We are on the battleship White-Zabeth.
Currently, we are in the process of retrieving survivors.
You don't remember?
The planet was destroyed when Sagi was eradicated.
You were caught in the ensuing explosion.
The Earthlings who helped us are also unconscious.
What about Fumiko...
I see...
So in the end,
they were the ones who saved me, instead of the other way around.
No, you gave us the courage to stand up.
You,
the Earthlings,
and Fumiko
are all heroes who protected the pride of the Renho.
That guy always has to make a fuss.
But what was that all about?
Probably some kind of prank.
Maybe it's my imagination,
but it feels like something is missing.
Huh?
Well, I thought there was usually someone next to Katsura-san...
Ow, my head...
Are you okay?
And why are we so injured?
Your heads have been injured since the first episode.
Wh-What are you saying, General Eren?!
You're going to stay here instead of returning to Earth?!
For what purpose?!
We have finally earned our freedom from Sagi!
There's nothing to chain us down!
So why?!
General, you have set us free.
So we believe that you should also live free.
Discard that white costume.
Live with your friends without having to lie to yourself.
You don't need to worry about us.
Even after you're gone, we can still make
a planet that is just as wonderful as Earth!
Our battle hasn't ended.
We've been thrown into the void of space with nothing to our name.
However, this is the path we've chosen.
After sacrificing our friends, our planet...
We've decided to live by our own rules,
the way the samurai do.
This white outfit will be my first vow.
For the sake of our friends who risked their lives for our freedom...
I promise
as the last Renho, as the last tool of war,
to devote my life to protecting that freedom.
You're giving up your own freedom
to protect the freedom of the Renho?
But what about them?!
The friends who fought to save Earth, to save the Renho, to save you!
Yes.
They are my friends.
And we always will be,
no matter how far apart we are.
Yeah, I appreciate all the help, Kintoki.
I don't remember helping you, and I don't remember my name being Kintoki.
Really? I must have been helping you then.
That makes even less sense.
I feel like a war just ended.
And we were able to take back something important...
Kintoki, have we forgotten something important?
Yeah, you've forgotten my name?
And was your ship always this lame-looking?
Ah!
Mutsu! Y-You modified the ship without my permission again?!
Katsura-san...
I'm sorry.
This is why I didn't want you to look for me.
This is why I didn't want you to remember me.
Because my mind was already made up.
Because I won't be returning to Earth.
Because my resolve wavers every time I see your face.
But you followed me all the way out here!
You came out into space to save me!
I'm sure that all of you would follow me anywhere to save a friend.
That's why I have no choice.
I have to erase every memory you have of me.
The only solution is to make you forget I ever existed.
Because you have friends on Earth who still need you.
Because I have friends here who still need me.
Katsura-san...
Good bye...
Wait.
How about we play one last game of Uno?
If you win, you can erase our memories and send us back to Earth.
But if I win,
I will never forget you.
Even after we're back on Earth.
Either way, this will be our last game of Uno.
Give me your best shot.
Did Katsura-san already know I would never return?
You didn't come here to take me back to Earth?
Then why...?
Because I wanted to play a game of Uno with the real you,
not the Renho General or Eren.
I was finally able to beat you in a straight-up match.
But you're strong enough now.
You'll be able to survive out there by yourself.
Take care.
Don't worry about me.
I have these guys.
This wasn't a straight-up match.
It's not fair.
I can barely see anything before me.
I'm the same.
But if you believe in the path you've chosen,
you must advance through your tears.
I will continue to walk the path I believe in.
We may be tens of thousands of light-years apart,
but our paths will always cross.
Never forget.
Don't say goodbye Lionel.
Until we meet again bunny.
My friend.
Elizabeth, everyone has forgotten about you.
But it's okay.
I'll be the only one who has to suffer.
Who are you playing Uno with?
I-I'm playing by myself.
I need to keep in shape.
Man, you have too much time.
Here. Give me that.
What are you doing?
I'm dealing the cards again.
That's not what I meant.
There's an extra hand.
What are you babbling about?
There's another person over there.
Wait, looks like we got a few more coming.
What are you doing, Zura?
Hurry up.
Yeah, let's begin.
Long, long ago,
an evil alien came to Earth to take its treasure.
But the alien became friends with the Earthlings
Hey, did you load up the Actraisers?
and he chose to fight on their side and protect Earth.
However, the aliens' planet was ruined by the battle to protect Earth,
so the alien decided to leave Earth and help rebuild his home planet.
He didn't want any tearful goodbyes, so he began erasing memories,
until there was nobody on Earth who remembered him.
On the last day, he looked at Earth one last time
to say goodbye to a planet that no longer remembered him.
Goodbye!
There were no goodbyes coming from the empty planet.
Instead, he saw beaming smiles.
For his treasures were still safe on the empty planet.
At long last, he was able to find that treasure.
A treasure that will never rust in the rain.
The treasure of friendship.
He wiped away his tears, leaving a smile,
and flew off into space
in search of new treasures.
But strangely enough, the friends he left behind weren't lonely at all.
That was because
the Elizabeth who left was only a temp who filled in on Mondays.
M Tu W Th F Sa Su
Temp
The regular Elizabeth, whose identity remains a mystery,
Regular
just returned from a long vacation today.
Oh, Katsura-san. I just got back. Here's a souvenir.
Oh, the regular Elizabeth is back!
Say goodbye to the temp Elizabeth!
Goodbye, Monday Elizabeth!
Sorry that you didn't get any screen time in the Benizakura arc!
Hey!
The end.
