SIGN    AQUARION
[01:48] AI Operator A
    The Elements' mana gauge
    is rapidly dropping.
[01:52] Saruta
    What is this?
[01:56] AI Operator B
    Aquarion's emotional energy
    is undergoing phase reversal.
[02:01] AI Operator A
    The mana gauge has dropped even
    further. Now below threshold.
[02:04] Munakata
    Their emotional waves are
    starting to dissipate!
[02:07] Vice Principal
    This is bad! They'll be torn apart!
[02:18] Momohime
    Guys, are you okay?
[02:19] Sakko
    Yeah.
[02:20] Momohime
    Let's chase after it.
[02:24] Sakko
    Ah! It won't move!
[02:26] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun!
[02:29] Vice Principal
    Is it going to...
[02:30] AI Operator B
    Vector Tir Element's mana is decreasing.
    Unable to continue battle.
[02:36] Takechi
    The Mythic Beast isn't stopping!
[02:37] Vice Principal
    It's going to plant a stake!
[02:40] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun!
[02:43] Rimiya
    Y-Yes.
[02:45] Momohime
    Sakko, we've both got to help Rimiya-kun!
[02:47] Sakko
    Got it!
[02:56] Munakata
    Don't let it plant that stake!
[02:58] Sakko
    What do you mean, stake?
[02:59] Momohime
    We won't!
[03:15] Momohime
    Oh, no!
[03:22] Munakata
    They couldn't stop it.
[03:24] Saruta
    DEAVA is furious.
[03:26] Takechi
    Place a 500-meter radius
    blockade around the stake!
[03:51] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun, are you okay?
[03:53] Sakko
    Rimiya!
[04:06] Momohime
    Why did the Mythic Beast
    leave without a fight?
[04:10] Munakata
    Probably because once it planted a
    stake, it had completed its task.
[04:13] Sakko
    What is that stake thing anyway?
[04:16] Saruta
    The stakes create an enemy foothold.
[04:18] Saruta
    They entangle the area in mythic space
    to make it easier to open rifts.
[04:22] Momohime
    Quantum entanglement?
[04:24] Principal
    Yeah. It's pretty much like
    a kind of domination battle.
[04:28] Principal
    If there's just one stake, you can
    just blockade the area around it,
[04:32] Principal
    but if the enemy places three down to form a
     triangle, that area becomes their territory.
[04:38] Munakata
    Like in the Bermuda Triangle
    in the Sargasso Sea,
[04:40] Munakata
    the Queimada Grande or "Snake Island,"
[04:42] Munakata
    or Area 51,
[04:45] Munakata
    you will find such blockaded areas inside
    forbidden regions around the world.
[04:50] Principal
    That's how the Space Preservation
    Agency preserves them.
[04:55] Saruta
    When the stakes need to be within
    15 kilometers of each other to be effective.
[05:02] Saruta
    We can expect Mythic Beasts to
    appear again near that area.
[05:08] Sakko
    Fight off the Mythic Beasts,
    don't let them plant stakes...
[05:12] Sakko
    They keep dropping this stuff on us,
    but none of it makes any sense.
[05:16] Toshi
    Protecting the universe is way beyond
    our abilities to begin with.
[05:21] Sakko
    And something about this time was different.
[05:24] Momohime
    What do you mean?
[05:26] Sakko
    The feeling when we united.
    It wasn't like the first time we did it.
[05:30] Sakko
    Don't you think, Rimiya?
[05:32] Rimiya
    What? I don't know.
[05:34] Sakko
    Huh?
[05:35] Toshi
    I was watching, but when the Mythic Beast
    pierced your shoulder with its whip,
[05:39] Toshi
    it looked like it was pumping
    something into you.
[05:42] Toshi
    And that's when the mana gauge got weird.
[05:45] Toshi
    What happened then?
[05:47] Sakko
    I saw a vision of monsters with wings.
[05:51] Momohime
    Was that mythic space?
[05:53] Sakko
    If so, then I wonder if those
    monsters were Shadow Angels.
[06:00] Sakko
    If only we could've held it together.
[06:01] Momohime
    That wasn't Rimiya-kun's fault!
[06:03] Sakko
    Huh? I didn't say it was—
[06:09] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun, don't pay any
    attention to Sakko here, okay?
[06:13] Rimiya
    Okay.
[06:15] Toshi
    Uh, I mean, the teachers didn't say
    it was anybody's fault either.
[06:22] Rimiya
    I'm going home.
[06:24] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun!
[06:26] Toshi
    Uh...

    Don't be deceived!
[06:47] Kamisama
    The shadow world government
    is covering everything up!
[06:53] Chako
    Ew! Kamisama's flyers are so sick!
[06:56] Eri
    Who's Kamisama?
[06:58] Shinobu
    That old guy who passes out flyers.
    That's what everyone calls him.
[07:01] Chako
    I guess he does kind of seem like a god.
[07:02] Eri
    Huh? How?
[07:04] Chako
    Hey, Rimiya-kun, take a look at this.

[07:09] Rimiya
    Mm-hmm. I guess that sounds right.
[07:12] Rimiya
    The world is full of sinister plots.
[07:17] Saruta
    Ta-da! Take a look, ladies and gentlemen.
[07:20] Saruta
    Your new unification simulator is here!
[07:24] Toshi
    Sensei, it looks just like the old one.
[07:31] Saruta
    Well, this machine measures your mana to
    simulate whether or not you can unite.
[07:37] Saruta
    Get it? Information is transmitted
     through your synapses
[07:38] Saruta
    by an ionic reaction of chemical substances.
[07:40] Saruta
    It resembles a quantum computing algorithm,
    which may produce irregularities,
[07:43] Saruta
    so I had to stay up all night with
     DEAVA figuring this out for you kids!
[07:46] Saruta
    There you have it! And if what's
     between your ears is that rotten anyway,
[07:48] Saruta
    you're gonna have to unite to—
[07:54] Saruta
    You need a sense of urgency!
[08:00] Munakata
    Unify now!
[08:03] Sakko
    Here we go.
[08:04] Momohime
    Yeah!
[08:04] Toshi
    Okay!
[08:08] Momohime
    Wha—?
[08:10] Sakko
    What the heck! I'm not feeling anything.
[08:12] Toshi
    Sensei, something is different.
[08:14] Toshi
    When we united before, we felt this,
    I don't know, something between us.
[08:19] Saruta
    Sorry. I wasn't able to simulate that part.
[08:23] Munakata
    Next, let's change members.
    Tsukishiro-kun, trade places with Hatano-kun.
[08:27] Toshi
    All right.
[08:35] Munakata
    Unify now!
[08:36] Momohime
    I'll do it this time.
    Ready, Sakko? Rimiya-kun?
[08:39] Sakko
    Yeah.
[08:40] Rimiya
    Uh, yes.
[08:46] Saruta
    Hm?
[08:49] Sakko
    Not this again.
[08:52] Momohime
    Don't worry, Rimiya-kun.
    We'll just try again.
[08:56] Rimiya
    Okay.
[09:03] Momohime
    Don't worry. Don't worry!
[09:05] Rimiya
    I'm sorry.
[09:07] Momohime
    Let's just keep working at it.
[09:09] Toshi
    Momohime-senpai...
[09:11] Toshi
    Doesn't it seem like she's a
    little too nice to Rimiya-kun?
[09:14] Sakko
    Oh. You think so?
[09:16] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun, I know you're trying
    your hardest. It's okay. It's okay.

[10:03] Rimiya
    Oh.
[10:06] Rimiya
    Ah!
SIGN    Nice to meet you!
     Let's kick butt in Element class!
     Nice to meet you as well!!
     I'll do my best!
     Hey! Are you free right now?
     Got time to meet?
[10:20] Momohime
    Come over here.
[10:26] Rimiya
    Um...
[10:28] Momohime
    Stars sure are mysterious.
[10:30] Rimiya
    Huh?
[10:31] Momohime
    The stars we see are millions of years old,
[10:35] Momohime
    but we can only perceive that light now.
[10:39] Rimiya
    Yeah...
[10:51] Momohime
    When we united, I felt emotions coming
    from both of you. It was really weird.
[10:58] Momohime
    But I don't mean it was gross.
[11:00] Rimiya
    Oh?
[11:01] Momohime
    I'd just never felt anything
    like that before in my life.
[11:07] Momohime
    And it was really gentle.
[11:10] Momohime
    It felt like you really cared about me.
[11:15] Momohime
    Is that maybe what they call...
[11:18] Momohime
    I like you, Rimiya-kun.
[11:21] Rimiya
    Huh?!
[11:22] Momohime
    I like Sakko and Toshi-kun too, of course.
[11:27] Momohime
    But I feel something with
    you that I don't with them.
[11:33] Momohime
    I've never fallen in love before.
[11:36] Rimiya
    Uh...
[11:37] Rimiya
    Huh?!
[11:43] Momohime
    Let's go on a date tomorrow!
[11:47] Toshi
    Ah!
[11:48] Rimiya
    Oh...
[11:54] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun!
[12:02] Rimiya
    G-Good morning, Momohime-senpai.
[12:05] Momohime
    Let's go, Rimiya-kun!
[12:06] Rimiya
    Where to?
[12:07] Momohime
    This way! This way!
[12:08] Rimiya
    By train?!
[12:09] Kamisama
    Look. Wake up. Do not be fooled.
[12:12] Kamisama
    All of humanity is under their control!
[12:15] Space Egg Council B
    That sounds like quite an interesting story.
[12:18] Taneko
    Why don't you tell us a
    little bit more about it?
[12:28] Momohime
    Ta-da! We're here!
[12:32] Rimiya
    That wasn't far.
[12:36] Momohime
    I've always wanted to come here.
[12:38] Rimiya
    Oh, you've never been here before?
[12:40] Momohime
    This is my first time.
[12:42] Rimiya
    Even though you lived in
    Enoshima since primary school?
[12:45] Momohime
    I was never given a lot of freedom.
[12:48] Momohime
    How about you, Rimiya-kun?
[12:49] Rimiya
    Yes, I've been here before.
    A girl I knew brought me here a bunch of times.
[12:52] Momohime
    Really? That sounds nice.
[12:57] Momohime
    Look, look! Wow!
[13:06] Momohime
    Oh, my gosh! Wow! Look, Rimiya-kun!
[13:10] Rimiya
    Is she a child?
[13:20] Rimiya
    It's really cute.
[13:25] Toshi
    Aren't you gonna go do parkour?
[13:27] Sakko
    What about you?
    Aren't you gonna study today?
[13:30] Toshi
    I have to take a break sometimes.
[13:32] Sakko
    So do I.
[13:38] (Flashback) Toshi
    I'm telling you, Momohime-senpai
    asked Rimiya-kun out on a date!
[13:43] (Flashback) Sakko
    Yeah. So what?
[13:45] (Flashback) Toshi
    What am I gonna do, Sakko?
[13:47] (Flashback) Sakko
    Who cares anyway?
[13:51] Toshi
    Momohime-senpai said she'd
    never been in love before.
[13:55] Sakko
    No kidding. Not with her personality.
[13:58] Toshi
    She said she wanted to confirm
    her feelings for Rimiya-kun.
[14:02] Sakko
    Huh...
[14:05] Toshi
    I wonder what they're doing right now.
[14:14] Rimiya
    Momohime-senpai, why did you invite me out?
[14:18] Momohime
    Because the first time we met, it didn't
    feel like the first time, Rimiya-kun.
[14:24] Rimiya
    I thought so, too! And I just
    couldn't stop thinking about you.
[14:29] Momohime
    Me neither!
[14:31] Rimiya
    I'm sorry our union
    training didn't go well.
[14:35] Rimiya
    I didn't realize until later that
    everyone thinks it's my fault.
[14:38] Momohime
    You're wrong!
    All three of us were responsible.
[14:42] Momohime
    I still want to unite again.
[14:49] Momohime
    This reminds me. Sayo once told
    me a story about an eel god.
[14:54] Rimiya
    Huh?
[14:56] Momohime
    She said the eel used
    to be king of the fish.
[15:01] Sayo
    There was once a beautiful girl named
    Ina who lived on the island of Mangaia.
[15:05] Sayo
    One day, when Ina was bathing in a pond,
[15:09] Sayo
    she caught the eye of Tuna, chief of
    the eels, who then began to court her.
[15:13] Sayo
    When Tuna bravely opened his heart to Ina,
    she accepted him, and the two were wed.
[15:20] Sayo
    However, when Tuna was forced to
    separate from Ina due to clan issues,
[15:26] Sayo
    he told her to cut off his head and bury it.
[15:30] Sayo
    Ina did exactly that,
[15:33] Sayo
    and two coconut trees grew out
    of the eel's buried head.
[15:38] Sayo
    Even today, it is said that when one takes
    the fruit of an island coconut tree,
[15:41] Sayo
    you can see the eyes and mouth
    of Ina's lover in the shell.
[15:47] Momohime
    Does that make sense?
[15:48] Rimiya
    Huh?
[15:49] Momohime
    I wonder if that's what love is.
[15:52] Rimiya
    No, I think that's different.
[15:54] Momohime
    I can't really understand those
    feelings. Neither Ina's nor Tuna's.
[16:14] Momohime
    Rimiya-kun, I apologize.
[16:17] Momohime
    Thanks to this date, I think I'm starting
    to understand my feelings a little better.
[16:21] Rimiya
    Huh?
[16:23] Momohime
    These feelings I have for you...
[16:25] Momohime
    I don't think they're love.
[16:29] Momohime
    I think I'm starting to
    understand the thing I lack.
[16:32] Momohime
    Remember what the teacher said?
[16:35] Momohime
    That we were probably chosen to be
    Elements because we all lack something.
[16:39] Momohime
    So my feelings for you probably aren't—
[16:43] Rimiya
    I agree!
[16:44] Momohime
    Huh?
[16:45] Rimiya
    I have been in love before.
    Actually, ever since preschool...
[16:50] Rimiya
    Ah, but as soon as we started going out,
    she wanted to break up.
[16:53] Rimiya
    Well, that doesn't really matter,
    but I do know what it feels like to like a girl.
[16:59] Rimiya
    And...
[17:01] Rimiya
    And my feelings for you, Momohime-senpai,
    aren't like that at all.
[17:07] Rimiya
    Like it isn't just love. Like it's
    more sacred than that, or something.
[17:12] Momohime
    Sacred...
[17:21] (Flashback) Haida
    Sister, the lights in the
    fog glisten like stars!
[17:27] (Flashback) Sedona
    Be careful, Haida. The fog interferes
    with the transference of mana.
[17:33] (Flashback) Haida
    It is told that on the night of the festival,
    the goddess's fog conceals the mana
[17:37] (Flashback) Haida
    so that you will encounter the partner
    to whom you will promise your life!
[17:42] (Flashback) Sedona
    Then if we stay together like this, will that
    not end up obstructing your encounter?
[17:47] (Flashback) Haida
    That is not why I...
[17:49] (Flashback) Haida
    Oh, but I might obstruct
    yours as well, Sister.
[17:54] (Flashback) Sedona
    I too feel that as long as you stay with me,
    I do not yet need a promised one.
[18:01] (Flashback) Sedona
    I do wonder how true the tale is, however.
[18:05] (Flashback) Sedona
    Shall we try going our separate
    ways for a while?
[18:08] (Flashback) Haida
    Yes.
[18:12] (Flashback) Sedona
    Don't worry.
[18:14] (Flashback) Sedona
    Even without our mana connecting us,
    I can still find my little sister.
[18:19] (Flashback) Haida
    Me, too. No matter where you
    go, Sister, I will find you.
[18:25] (Flashback) Sedona
    My beloved baby sister
    Haida, do not be sad.
[18:30] (Flashback) Sedona
    As a goddess, I will be able to
    watch over you for all time.
