[00:00] Sayo
    Perched above the yet oceanless ocean,
     there was once a dreamer.
[00:05] Sayo
    The dreamer dreamed of all
    of the things in the world.
[00:10] Sayo
    Day after day, doing nothing but dreaming,
    the dreamer eventually became a stone.
[00:18] Sayo
    That stone, known as the
    Mythical Star Stone, grew larger and larger
[00:22] Sayo
    and ultimately became an egg.
[00:26] Sayo
    An egg floating alone above
    the yet oceanless ocean.
[02:12] Eri
    She was honestly kind of a
    weird girl, that Ichiki-san.
[02:16] Hiroshi
    Didn't you guys always pick on her?
[02:17] Chako
    Hey, don't say that!
[02:36] Shinobu
    What? Sayo killed herself?
[02:38] Eri
    No, she didn't.
[02:40] Eri
    I mean, she was saying,
    "I don't want to die" before it happened.
[02:46] Sho
    Where did you hear that?
[02:48] Eri
    Uh, I forget.
[02:56] Chako
    Who was Sayo friends with anyway?
[02:59] Shinobu
    Dunno.
[03:05] Eri
    She was always staring up at the sky.
[03:08] Guard
    Hey, kid! What do you think you're doing?
[03:11] Student 1-2 Boy A
    Oh, man. Otori again?
[03:15] Student 2-2 Girl A
    Why is he dressed like that?
[03:31] Guard
    Stop right there, kid!
[03:33] Takechi
    Otori Sakko? You're at it again?
[03:36] Munakata
    Takechi-sensei...
[03:37] Momohime
    Sakko.
[03:38] Sakko
    Hey.

[05:08] Saruta
    So now you should understand how,
    in strategic-form games,
[05:11] Saruta
    when all of the players have chosen a
    strategy that maximizes their payoff,
[05:15] Saruta
    they reach what is called
    a Nash equilibrium.
[05:20] Saruta
    In that situation, if any
    player alters their strategy,
[05:22] Saruta
    their payoff from that strategy will become
    less than it was before the change.
SIGN    Way out of line, Otori Sakko.
SIGN    At least wear your uniform at funerals
SIGN    I thought it was kinda cool though
[05:27] Saruta
    In other words, that means
    this is the optimal solution.
SIGN    Me, too
SIGN    Why do they always have
     carnations at funerals?
SIGN    Did Otori even know Ichiki? 
    They're in different classes
[05:31] Saruta
    We covered the difference
    between a Nash equilibrium
SIGN    They were together since primary school
[05:33] Saruta
    and a Pareto optimum last time.
SIGN    Wait, so they were in the scout class?
SIGN    Momohime-sama from third-year was there too, right?
    I hear the three of them were friends.
[05:40] Sho
    Whoa, for real? Momohime-sama
    and Ichiki were both scouts?
[05:44] Hiroshi
    Crap. If I'd hung out with Ichiki,
    maybe she could've hooked me up.
[05:47] Chako
    No way. She would've
    dropped you like a rock.
[05:50] Hiroshi
    Oh hey, Rimiya-kun, weren't you crying
    at Ichiki's funeral yesterday?
[05:54] Rimiya
    Huh? Yeah.
[05:56] Hiroshi
    Were you that close?
[05:58] Rimiya
    Hm...
[06:00] Rimiya
    I never talked to her.
[06:03] Rimiya
    Don't most people cry when
    their classmate dies?
[06:07] Eri
    He's right. Are you guys totally heartless?
[06:10] Shinobu
    Rimiya-kun isn't like you guys.
    He's actually kind.
[06:13] Hiroshi
    Huh? You guys didn't know
    her that well either.
[06:16] Hiroshi
    You sure can cry when you want to, though.
[06:18] Rimiya
    Toshi.
[06:19] Toshi
    Huh?
[06:20] Rimiya
    Let's go.
[06:20] Toshi
    Oh. Yeah.
[06:35] Enomoto Yura
    Momo, did you hear?
[06:36] Enomoto Yura
    They're about to announce the first
    selections for the advanced class!
[06:39] Momohime
    The Element class, right?
[06:41] Momohime
    So like grade school kids?
[06:43] Higawa Seri
    Come on, that's "elementary."
[06:45] Momohime
    They're selecting students in
    third-year to form a new class.
[06:48] Momohime
    I don't get it.
[06:49] Higawa Seri
    Our school is crazy, right?
    The classes are weird, too.
[06:52] Enomoto Yura
    Because it's a specially-designated
    Space Preservation Agency school.
[06:55] Enomoto Yura
    Did you hear?
[06:56] Enomoto Yura
    The Space Preservation Agency has a
    secret underground base in Enoshima!
[07:00] Higawa Seri
    Yeah, that's just an urban legend.
[07:02] Enomoto Yura
    No! It's real, it's real!
[07:04] Enomoto Yura
    And I bet if you get chosen as an Element,
    you go straight into special training
[07:07] Enomoto Yura
    and get put on the fast track to
    the elite! How about that, Momo?
[07:10] Momohime
    I'm not really interested.
[07:17] Rimiya
    Didn't Ichiki-san come to
    the library a lot, too?
[07:20] Toshi
    I only talked to her once.
[07:22] Rimiya
    What did you talk about?
[07:24] Toshi
    Uh, I don't... really remember.
[07:27] Toshi
    I wasn't really interested.
[07:29] Toshi
    It was about past lives and stuff.
[07:32] Rimiya
    Past lives?
[07:32] Toshi
    Yeah.
[07:34] Toshi
    Like we met each other in a past life
    and both had wings on our backs.
[07:39] Toshi
    I wonder if that's from a myth or something.
[07:42] Toshi
    Look, she used to read
    those books over there.
[07:46] Takechi
    Hold it, Otori! What are you doing here?
[07:50] Sakko
    Ouch, ouch.
[07:51] Sakko
    Shh!
[07:52] Takechi
    Where'd you go, Otori?
[07:54] Takechi
    I told you parkour isn't allowed at school!
[07:56] Takechi
    Not just school, in the whole city!
[07:59] Takechi
    Geez, I'm the one who's gonna get yelled at!
[08:03] Sakko
    Thank you.
[08:04] Toshi
    You're Otori-kun, right? From class 2?
[08:06] Sakko
    Yeah. You can call me Sakko.
[08:09] Sakko
    You're in class 1, right? Rimiya-kun and...
[08:11] Sakko
    I don't know your name.
[08:13] Toshi
    Hatano Toshi. Is parkour that fun?
[08:15] Sakko
    Not really.
[08:17] Sakko
    See you.
[08:18] Rimiya
    Hey, wait up.
[08:20] Sakko
    What?
[08:21] Rimiya
    You glared at me yesterday.
[08:23] Sakko
    Huh? Oh...
[08:26] Rimiya
    Did I do something to you?
[08:28] Sakko
    Rimiya-kun, you don't have a heart, right?
[08:32] Sakko
    I saw you sometimes 'cause you're so popular.
[08:35] Sakko
    I can tell about stuff like that.
[08:37] Rimiya
    Well, that's...
[08:38] Sakko
    Not that I care though. I don't either.
[08:41] Sakko
    But yesterday, it kind of pissed me off.
[08:46] Toshi
    He and Ichiki-san were in
    primary school together.
[08:49] Sakko
    Yeah.
[08:52] Sakko
    She never really took care of herself.
[08:56] Sakko
    She was always putting other people first.
[08:59] Sakko
    And she kept getting hurt because of it.
[09:01] Sakko
    It was so risky, I couldn't stand to watch.
[09:04] Sayo
    You were the one taking risks, Sakko.
[09:05] Sakko/Rimiya/Toshi
    Oh!
[09:08] Sayo
    Sakko, you kept getting into dangerous
    situations and I kept stopping you.
[09:13] Sakko
    Sayo... What are you doing here?
[09:16] Sayo
    If we're going to fight mythical creatures,
[09:18] Sayo
    I thought I should get familiar with myths.
[09:21] Rimiya
    Mythical creatures?
[09:22] Sayo
    Guys, let's do our best
    in the Element class.
[09:26] Sakko
    Element? You mean...
[09:28] Takechi
    There you are, Otori!
[09:30] Takechi
    I'm coming for you, so don't
    you move! Not even an inch!
[09:36] Hiroshi
    There you are. You guys are gonna
    freak out when you hear this.
[09:41] Girl Student 1
    So they announced the members
    of the Element class?
[09:44] Girl Student 2
    No way. Just three people?
[09:46] Girl Student 3
    They might add more later, though.
[09:47] Boy Student 1
    Rimiya-kun I can get, but Otori Sakko?
[09:50] Boy Student 2
    Is Hatano that bookworm guy?
    But he always gets such bad grades.
[09:54] 3rd Year Girl B
    I was so sure you were gonna
    get chosen, Momohime.
[09:58] Momohime
    But I feel like there was one more.
[10:01] 3rd Year Girl A
    Huh?
[10:13] Kamisama
    They're coming.
[10:24] Munakata
    I'm leading the Element class.
    My name is Munakata.
[10:27] Munakata
    Starting today, you'll be
    following a special curriculum
[10:30] Munakata
    designed to help you develop
    your abilities as Elements.
[10:33] Munakata
    It will be hard to manage this
    on top of your normal classes,
[10:36] Munakata
    so I hope you're ready.
[10:38] Toshi
    Doesn't the teacher see her?
[10:39] Munakata
    The first thing I need you to understand
    is that this program is top secret.
[10:45] Munakata
    You can't even tell your parents or
    siblings about your training here.
[10:49] Munakata
    Understood?
[10:50] Sayo
    Yes.
[10:51] Munakata
    Where's your answer?
[10:52] Sakko/Rimiya/Toshi/Sayo
    Yes!
[11:01] Munakata
    Now I'd like you to fight enemy soldiers,
    or mythical creatures,
[11:04] Munakata
    in this battle simulator.
[11:06] Rimiya
    Mythical creatures?
[11:08] Sayo
    Sensei, why do you call the
    enemies mythical creatures?
[11:11] Munakata
    That's a good question, Ichiki-san.
[11:13] Toshi
    So she does see her.
[11:15] Rimiya
    Yeah.
[11:15] Munakata
    We call them mythical creatures because
    they come from mythical space.
[11:18] Munakata
    Now get in the machines.
[11:20] Toshi
    Um...
[11:21] Rimiya
    Um...
[11:23] Munakata
    Get a move on!
[11:43] Sakko
    So that's a mythical creature.
[11:45] Sayo
    Good luck, guys!
[11:47] Rimiya
    Whoa!
[11:47] Toshi
    Whoa!
[11:50] Munakata
    Don't be afraid!
[11:51] Sayo
    Sakko, no!
[11:54] Munakata
    And don't be reckless!
[11:55] Munakata
    The Vector Machines amplify
    your emotional energy,
[11:57] Munakata
    your mana, and use it for power.
[11:59] Munakata
    The source of that mana is your
    strong desire to defeat the enemy.
[12:02] Toshi
    Mana? I can't keep up with
    all this complicated stuff!
[12:06] Sakko
    We just gotta do it!
[12:07] Rimiya
    Okay!
[12:18] Rimiya
    So that was one of the mythical creatures
    Ichiki-san was talking about.
[12:22] Sakko
    But how did she know about them
    before being chosen as an Element?
[12:26] Toshi
    And as soon as Element class
    ends, she disappears.
[12:30] Rimiya
    She must have been chosen
    before the rest of us.
[12:34] Rimiya
    Then for some reason,
[12:35] Rimiya
    the teachers made it look like she
    died so she could start training.
[12:40] Toshi
    Yeah, I bet you're right.
[12:45] Sakko
    So why do you think it's us?
[12:48] Rimiya
    Huh?
[12:50] Sakko
    Why do you think we were chosen?
[12:53] Sayo
    It's because of what you
    don't have. A heart.
[12:56] Sakko
    Where'd you come from?
[13:01] Sayo
    It was ripped out along
    with your wings that time.
[13:04] Rimiya
    What time?
[13:06] Sayo
    12,000 years ago.
[13:09] Toshi
    Um, during the Jomon period?
[13:12] Sayo
    You must have realized that all of us are
    missing some part of our hearts, right?
[13:19] Sakko
    You mean...
[13:20] Rimiya
    But if we're missing something,
     why were we chosen as Elements?
[13:23] Sayo
    Sensei said that the Vector
    Machines amplify your mana.
[13:28] Rimiya
    Yeah, Munakata-sensei did
    say something about that.
[13:31] Toshi
    Mana, your emotional energy...
[13:35] Toshi
    But shouldn't we need to
    have hearts for that?
[13:38] Kamisama
    The time has come! The time of destruction!
[13:41] Kamisama
    They are plotting to destroy the universe!
[13:45] Kamisama
    Listen! We'll all...
[13:48] Kamisama
    Listen to me! Open your eyes, humankind!
[13:58] Vice Principal
    Out of all of them,
[14:00] Vice Principal
    why'd you have to choose kids
    with such poor mana balance?
[14:03] Saruta
    DEAVA deduced that this would be the
    optimal solution, Vice Principal.
[14:08] Vice Principal
    On top of that, we only have three
    Vector Machines that Elements can use!
[14:13] Vice Principal
    How are we supposed to protect
    the universe like this?
[14:16] Takechi
    If only we could have found those
    Mechanical Angels from the myths...
[14:20] Principal
    What else can we do?
[14:22] Principal
    We searched ruins all around the planet
    and still weren't able to find Aquarion.
[14:26] Vice Principal
    Principal!
[14:28] Principal
    Not all of the predictions from
    the Naacal texts become reality.
[14:31] Principal
    There is enough fluctuation range
    to allow for a different future.
[14:34] Vice Principal
    Is this more of that "universe's capability
    for revision" stuff, Saruta-kun?
[14:39] Saruta
    I don't know.
[14:41] Saruta
    Or maybe the me that does know will
    be revised and erased from history.
[14:46] Munakata
    So basically, things will
    go the way they go.
[14:50] Munakata
    That's going to be rough
    for these kids, though.
[15:05] Momohime
    Hey, Sakko. That's dangerous.
[15:07] Sakko
    Whoa.
[15:08] Sakko
    Momohime. Are you a ninja or something?
[15:14] Momohime
    Back in primary school, we always used to
    gaze at the stars like this. With Sayo.
[15:19] Sakko
    Yeah.
[15:22] Momohime
    I bet she liked them.
[15:26] Momohime
    The carnations.
[15:27] Momohime
    I'm surprised you remembered.
[15:29] Sakko
    I don't know why.
    It just popped into my head.
[15:33] Momohime
    Thank you.
[15:35] Sakko
    What are you thanking me for?
[15:39] Momohime
    Because Sayo was like my little sister.
[15:43] Momohime
    And you're my little brother!
[15:47] Momohime
    It sure is strange, about Sayo.
    It feels like she's still alive.
[15:53] Sakko
    I don't know. Seriously...
[15:57] Sakko
    is she?
[15:59] Momohime
    Huh?
[16:18] Rimiya
    Sakko, you're going in too hot.
[16:20] Sakko
    So what? Keep up.
[16:22] Munakata
    Mythical creatures travel here
    through a crack in space.
[16:25] Munakata
    It's best if you can defeat them here,
[16:27] Munakata
    but we still win if you only send them back.
[16:29] Sakko
    Right, but how?
[16:31] Toshi
    Here it comes!
[16:57] Saruta
    Is that...
[16:59] Saruta
    a crack?
[17:01] Saruta
    This is bad news!
[17:07] Saruta
    Munakata-sensei, a crack has appeared.
[17:10] Munakata
    Huh?
[17:12] Saruta
    DEAVA is telling us to send
    those kids in to fight.
[17:17] Saruta
    The enemy is coming.
[17:20] Munakata
    But they're still in training!
[17:23] Principal
    If they don't scramble now,
    the universe will collapse!
[17:26] Principal
    That's the logical consequence
    in game theory.
[17:32] Vice Principal
    So they're finally here.
    Prepare to intercept!
[17:34] Vice Principal
    But this is still too soon!
[17:48] Munakata
    Going into actual combat already?
[17:50] Sayo
    Sensei...
[17:51] Saruta
    Do it while the Preservation Agency
    drones are intercepting! Hurry!
[17:55] Munakata
    Understood. Teleport them now.
[17:59] Sayo
    Teleport?

[19:32] Toshi
    Huh? What?
[19:34] Sakko
    It felt like my body just flew somewhere.
[19:37] Rimiya
    Where are we?
[19:41] Rimiya
    Um, this feels strangely real.
[19:44] Saruta
    Correct, Tsukishiro Rimiya-kun.
[19:46] Saruta
    This is not training. This is reality.
[19:48] Rimiya
    Huh? Saruta-sensei?
[19:50] Toshi
    Reality?!
[19:52] Sakko
    There's something here!
[19:53] Munakata
    That is our enemy's weapon of
    invasion, a mythical creature.
[19:56] Munakata
    If you want to survive, destroy it!
[19:58] Toshi
    Huh?
[20:01] Toshi
    Ah! It's coming this way!
[20:04] Munakata
    All ships, coordinate your attacks.
    Remember your training!
[20:08] Sakko
    I'll distract it, so attack from behind!
[20:10] Rimiya
    Okay.
[20:11] Toshi
    You're already on it?!
[20:18] Munakata
    Real combat doesn't faze him at all.
[20:22] Sakko
    That's good. Again!
[20:35] Saruta
    This is bad.
[20:36] Saruta
    The mana is becoming unstable!
[20:53] Saruta
    It's over.
[21:04] Sayo
    Guys!
[21:07] Munakata
    Huh?
[21:14] Sakko
    Ouch!
