Aquarion (アクエリオン)

AQUARION

I'll finish those programs so I can pilot Aquarion again!

And then I'll meet Sun-kun to talk, and we'll protect both universes!

Don't worry!

Once I'm in Aquarion, it'll all work out.

New developments in the stabbing murder of a female middle school student in Enoshima.

Middle School Girl Stabbed to Death Suspect at Large

Police have obtained surveillance video

of a female student at the same school who is now a person of interest.

They are currently attempting to locate her.

Hana-chan really did do it.

Today will be the final day of your Element training.

Huh?

According to DEAVA's most recent prediction,

the prophesied event should occur within the next 72 hours.

Within 72 hours...

When you finish training, I'd like you all to rest and wait.

Otori-kun and Tsukishiro-kun,

try to complete at least one program and then concentrate on tuning your emotions.

Wait a minute.

I...

I'm done fighting!

Sorry I'm late!

Amaha-san, hurry and take your place.

Sensei.

What?

Is the union of universes really Sun-kun's wish?

Of course it is. What are you even talking about?

Then Sun-kun must also know of some way to stop them from uniting.

That isn't how it works. Now take your position.

It's just like it was with Ichiki-san.

Yeah. It just means the universe's ability to self-correct is working.

In other words, Momohime-senpai is already dead.

Shut up!

But it's the truth. You must know that.

Hey, what happened to you, Toshi?

What do you mean?

You were never like this before. You were more—

More of a loser?

Huh?

Yeah, that's right. Making fun of me always came so easy to you guys.

I studied like crazy but still got the worst grades.

I never stood out in sports either.

Even I kept thinking, "How the hell did I get into this academy anyway?"

But now...

I've finally found a place where I belong.

Where you belong?

You guys don't need to worry about piloting Aquarion anymore.

They've got me now.

But Momohime-senpai will keep riding no matter what.

Momohime-senpai will die in battle.

Then the universe's ability to self-correct

will kick in and make it so she was killed by Hana-chan instead.

That universe will survive because it's going to win.

The one that wins survives?

Isn't that what they explained to us?

The ability to self-correct indicates which side takes priority.

Basically, Momohime-senpai fighting and dying in battle

is a necessary condition for our universe's victory.

How can you say that?

And I can't let you mess this up.

That's why I took Aquarion from you.

Toshi!

I don't understand your feelings at all, Toshi.

And I'm glad I don't.

Why? Why does it have to be her?

Her who?

Momohime...

Sister!

Wait a minute. Toshi-kun!

Huh?

Let me see Sun-kun! You can make that happen, right?

Um...

I told you already. He's busy right now.

Then at least do something right now to get us back in Aquarion!

No!

Oh.

Um...

That might be the final battle! Let's go, guys!

Don't go!

You can't go!

Why not?

This isn't the final battle yet. It's fine. I'll go instead.

Momohime-senpai, you just wait until it's your turn.

Aquarion Naushizu Defeats Mythic Beast

Enoshima Academy's Aquarion Naushizu has yet again defeated a mythic beast.

Momohime-neesama...

She disappeared again after that. She wasn't in the dorms either.

This is how it should be. Right, Sun-kun?

Where in the world have you disappeared to, Sun-kun?

Why?

Why does it have to be Momohime?

She tried to save our universe, save Toshi, save the other universe...

She tried to save everyone! So why her?

When Sun-kun isn't around, we have no idea what to do.

Just tune the way your heart tells you, Toshi.

Sun-kun!

Where have you been all this time? You just disappeared!

We were all really, really...

Huh?

Sun-kun...

It's okay. I'll protect you.

Huh?

That's that Kamisama guy who was with Hana.

How are you doing? Were you able to calm down a bit?

Here.

Thanks a bunch, Kamisama.

Hana!

Huh? Sakko-senpai?

Huh?

I don't remember nothin' about that night.

When I came to my senses, my hands were all bloody, and I was running.

Hey! Is that...

At least I was able to take her here to hide.

I don't feel it as strong anymore.

The feeling that I want to kill Momohime-senpai.

Could it mean I killed someone I loved? Because I feel satisfied now?

But when I was running away, I coulda swore I saw Momohime-senpai.

Well, yeah.

I wanted to go back to check but thought I might actually kill her, so I kept running.

I won't...

I won't accept a future where she's dead!

This is all a part of their plan.

Huh?

They take advantage of people's selflessness.

They deceptively insist it is the right thing to do while sending people to their death.

Always, every time.

What are you even talking about?

Even now, they claim to be carrying out the wishes of the child of the holy egg

when what they truly want is to rule this world.

They're using Sun?

The first time I laid eyes on that boy was fifteen years ago.

I had been assigned to the Space Preservation Agency facility on the continent.

He was in a cradle made from the Mythic Star Stone.

Mythic Star Stone?

His face seemed somehow familiar.

As if he was someone precious to me.
