[00:11] ---
    How is Kanata doing?
[00:13] ---
    We don't have any anesthetics,
    so I had to operate without them.
[00:16] ---
    It's incredible how he tolerated the pain.
[00:19] ---
    I have nothing but respect for him...
[00:22] ---
    He's stable now, in bed.
[00:24] ---
    I see...
[00:26] ---
    So his arm is...?
[00:27] ---
    Of course, there's no way to get it back.
[00:30] ---
    I'm sure someone will buy him
    a good prosthetic, though.
[00:33] ---
    Right, Your Majesty?
[00:36] ---
    Stop being mean.
[00:38] ---
    I'm being as gentle as I can.
[00:40] ---
    I do sympathize with Charce's upbringing.
[00:44] ---
    But thinking about Kanata...
[00:48] ---
    Zack, you need to lock me up.
[00:51] ---
    Then, when you get to Astra,
    you can send me to the police,
[00:55] ---
    along with the originals who made us clones.
[00:58] ---
    Charce...
[01:02] ---
    There's no need for that.
[01:04] ---
    Kanata?!
[01:06] ---
    Kanata!
[01:07] ---
    You need to be asleep!
[01:08] ---
    It hurts too much! Also, I'm lonely...
[01:13] ---
    Charce, I'm not holding
    any grudges against you.
[01:18] ---
    I acted on choices that I made by myself.
[01:21] ---
    If you hadn't shut down the sphere
    when you did, I would be dead.
[01:25] ---
    Thanks for that.
[01:27] ---
    If we explain what happened, you won't
    be charged. We'll make sure of it.
[01:32] ---
    That's why you need to make the choice, too.
[01:35] ---
    To live for yourself from now on.
[01:39] ---
    So you're going to trust him?
[01:41] ---
    I trust him.
[01:43] ---
    If he brings out another sphere?
[01:44] ---
    Then he can take my left arm, too!
[01:47] ---
    Why would we not trust him now?!
    Was this whole trip a big lie?
[01:52] ---
    Everything stays as it was!
    If anyone has a problem with that,
[01:55] ---
    we'll go one-on-one! I can take you
    all on with one arm!
[01:58] ---
    One-on-one with what...?
[02:01] ---
    There's no problem. Just wanted
    to hear it from you, Captain.
[02:05] ---
    Nobody on this team wants
    to leave anybody out.
[02:10] ---
    Got it? You'll need to work hard...
[02:14] ---
    ...to cover for Kanata.
[02:17] ---
    I'm truly sorry, everyone.
[02:20] ---
    Thanks to you, I am myself now.
[02:24] ---
    I want to live as my own original now.
[02:28] ---
    I want to go home with you all.
[02:31] ---
    Yes, of course.
[02:33] ---
    Besides, we have more questions to ask.
[02:38] ---
    I know.
[02:40] ---
    I'll tell you everything I know.
[02:44] ---
    The truth as recorded in Vixia.
[02:47] ---
    "Gloom"
[02:47] ---
    "Gloom"
    Huh?!
[02:49] ---
    My arm hurts.
[02:50] ---
    Of course!
[02:51] ---
    Kanata!
[02:52] ---
    Also, I feel dizzy.
[02:53] ---
    Again, of course! How much blood
    do you think you've lost?!
[02:57] ---
    Kanata needs to rest now.
    The important talks will have to wait.
[03:01] ---
    Yes. I understand.
[03:02] ---
    All right, guys. The rest of us
    will start foraging tomorrow.
[03:06] ---
    Aye, yeah!
[03:08] ---
    Aye, yeah...
[03:09] ---
    You rest!
[03:12] ---
    "Planet Galem
    Day 117 of being lost in space"
[03:13] ---
    "Planet Galem
    Day 117 of being lost in space"
    Team B5 camp log.
    Day seven on Planet Galem.
[03:18] ---
    Fortunately, planet Galem is rich in food
    and water, with a stable climate.
[03:24] ---
    Food collection is progressing steadily.
[03:28] ---
    Kanata is concentrating on nourishment
    and sleep to recover from his injury.
[03:35] ---
    Hmm?
[03:37] ---
    "Mind-numbingly boring game made by Zack"
    I feel a little bad for
    Kanata, who seems very bored.
[03:44] ---
    So I visited him many times to chat.
[03:50] ---
    So many shiny things everywhere.
    This planet is very pretty.
[03:56] ---
    Yeah, it's a sight unlike anywhere else.
[04:00] ---
    I'll never forget this. The sights
    and the time we spent together.
[04:08] ---
    Yeah, thanks to your photographic memory.
[04:10] ---
    That's not what I mean!
[04:12] ---
    It's a feelings thing.
[04:14] ---
    Yeah... I get it, I do.
[04:17] ---
    I feel the same way. All of this
    was a super precious experience.
[04:22] ---
    Though we did go through some
    rough times, too, of course.
[04:31] ---
    How is your arm?
[04:34] ---
    It hurts super bad, but I can manage.
    I need to toughen up and get used to the pain.
[04:38] ---
    You're going to touch it up?
[04:39] ---
    That's not what I said!
    Please don't touch the wound!
[04:45] ---
    Despite it all, I do wish this trip
    would last just a bit longer.
[04:51] ---
    I am slightly sad that it's ending.
[04:58] ---
    "Planet Galem

[04:59] ---
    "Planet Galem
    Day 120 of being lost in space"
    And finally, we gathered
    enough food to depart this planet!
[05:02] ---
    And finally, we gathered
    enough food to depart this planet!
[05:06] ---
    Good!
[05:07] ---
    Everyone ready?
[05:08] ---
    That was a really close call,
    when the burr-burr attacked.
[05:12] ---
    Who would have thought the dullfish's
    tentacles would be so useful?
[05:17] ---
    Did you know? The purple mandala
    flower smells super bad!
[05:20] ---
    Thanks, I feel super left out!
[05:24] ---
    What are you laughing about?!
    That noise you're making is a laugh, right?
[05:37] ---
    The next time we touch down, it's going
    to be on a spaceport on Astra, isn't it?
[05:41] ---
    If we make it back safely.
[05:43] ---
    If our originals find out that we're alive,
    they'll try to do something for sure.
[05:49] ---
    Quite possible. We should prepare somehow.
[05:53] ---
    Let's hear from Charce first.
[06:02] ---
    Entering faster-than-light travel.
[06:05] ---
    Destination: Planet Astra!
[06:15] ---
    Okay...
[06:17] ---
    We're all here. We have plenty of time.
[06:21] ---
    Can you tell us now, Charce? Take your time.
[06:24] ---
    Yes.
[06:27] ---
    I will now tell you the secret of Astra.
[06:31] ---
    In the past, there was a planet called Earth.
[06:35] ---
    In order to escape extinction by asteroid,
    humanity chose to relocate to a new planet.
[06:43] ---
    Per Aspera, Ad Astra. "Overcome hardships
    to reach the destination." That was the slogan.
[06:49] ---
    Humanity worked together to find
    a new planet to move to.
[06:54] ---
    Two years later, almost miraculously,
    a planet similar to Earth was found.
[07:01] ---
    The planet, 5,000 light-years away,
    was named Astra.
[07:09] ---
    That's in line with what Polina taught us.
[07:12] ---
    The issue is...
[07:13] ---
    Why weren't we aware of such
    an important part of history?
[07:17] ---
    That's the secret of our world.
    Only a few high-ranking government officials
[07:22] ---
    and the King of Vixia know the secret.
[07:25] ---
    The Vixia Royal Quarter was built
    to safeguard that secret.
[07:29] ---
    That's why it's such an enclosed environment.
[07:32] ---
    The secret is passed on from king to king.
[07:36] ---
    Of course, the current king
    had plans to remain king forever.
[07:41] ---
    So you mean there are historical facts
    that we don't know, right?
[07:47] ---
    The history you know has been
    warped from the truth.
[07:50] ---
    But it was all done in the name of peace.
[07:55] ---
    The artificial wormhole was key to making
    this huge immigration project possible.
[08:01] ---
    Gates were built all over the world.
[08:03] ---
    Over 10,000 tunnels
    connected Earth and Astra.
[08:09] ---
    Creating cities out of nothing was a huge
    undertaking. Work was extremely difficult.
[08:16] ---
    But since existing technologies could be
    transported via wormhole,
[08:21] ---
    the process got faster and faster.
[08:25] ---
    Meanwhile on Earth, the immigration project
    was revealed to the entire world.
[08:31] ---
    People were confused, panicked, and...
[08:36] ---
    ...they began to fight over land
    ownership in the new world.
[08:43] ---
    Race, religion, international power relations...
[08:47] ---
    It became the trigger to make all
    of humanity's problems explode.
[08:52] ---
    In just two months during 2052, half of
    the entire population of humanity was lost.
[08:59] ---
    It was that bad?
[09:02] ---
    The wormholes helped make everything worse.
[09:06] ---
    Think about it. It allows you to travel
    to another location, instantly.
[09:10] ---
    It made all terrorist attacks and
    assassinations easy to pull off.
[09:13] ---
    They weren't built for that...
[09:16] ---
    The same thing is seen
    throughout human history.
[09:21] ---
    We build it first, before being afraid. Always.
[09:26] ---
    The survivors of the war regretted
    the foolishness and vowed to create peace.
[09:32] ---
    Nations were abolished as a concept.
    Natural resources became shared.
[09:37] ---
    Language was unified, and religion
    and weapons were removed
[09:43] ---
    as the cause of conflict.
[09:46] ---
    Humanity finally found peace through
    moving and resetting the world.
[09:52] ---
    It's starting to become the history we know.
[09:56] ---
    The great move took place over four years.
[10:00] ---
    On July 5, 2057, shortly after
    the move was completed,
[10:05] ---
    the asteroid struck as expected.
[10:09] ---
    When things started to get on track,
    the world government was established.
[10:13] ---
    The first thing they did was
    shut down all wormholes forever.
[10:18] ---
    Shut down forever...
[10:20] ---
    A rational choice.
    It's a requirement to ensure peace.
[10:25] ---
    All existing wormholes were destroyed,
    along with the technologies behind them.
[10:30] ---
    The one who took on the job was
    Vix Industries, who made the wormholes.
[10:37] ---
    The predecessor to the royal family.
[10:40] ---
    The political power they gained from this
    allowed Vix to create the Royal Quarter.
[10:46] ---
    What about the wormhole you used?
[10:48] ---
    The Vix maintained one wormhole in secret.
[10:53] ---
    Wait, but if the wormholes
    were removed from history...
[10:57] ---
    Yes.
[10:58] ---
    How would anyone explain
    how the move took place?
[11:01] ---
    Yes. The wormhole is required
    to explain how it all worked out.
[11:06] ---
    That's why they removed
    the immigration itself from history.
[11:10] ---
    What...?
[11:11] ---
    There was no planetary immigration.
    They created a false history.
[11:16] ---
    That's impossible! How could they possibly
    wipe history so cleanly?!
[11:20] ---
    You said they pioneered
    the planet from scratch, right?
[11:22] ---
    There's no way they could hide the process
    of rebuilding civilization from nothing!
[11:27] ---
    Besides, it doesn't make sense that
    the immigration finished in 2057.
[11:31] ---
    It's 2063 now.
[11:34] ---
    There's no way we could build up to
    our level of civilization in just six years.
[11:38] ---
    Right. Even with all the advanced tech,
    it would take at least...
[11:42] ---
    ...100 years...
[11:48] ---
    I get it... I see it now.
[11:51] ---
    They rolled history back by 100 years.
[11:54] ---
    What?!
[11:55] ---
    What do you mean?!
[11:57] ---
    Our history says the world government
    was established in 1963,
[12:02] ---
    but it was actually 2063,
    early in the pioneering days.
[12:07] ---
    So they rolled it back by 100 years
    to let civilization catch back up.
[12:10] ---
    Roll back...? But how?
[12:14] ---
    The government decided it, and the people
    never told their children about the lie.
[12:18] ---
    That's all.
[12:19] ---
    That's impossible!
[12:21] ---
    But in fact, you didn't know.
[12:25] ---
    Your parents didn't know, and neither
    did their parents before them.
[12:28] ---
    The only citizens who know about this are
    those who experienced the actual immigration.
[12:33] ---
    Only a handful of people from
    that generation remain today.
[12:37] ---
    This new history has become
    the truth for humanity now.
[12:44] ---
    What the...?
[12:45] ---
    Um...
[12:46] ---
    In our history, 1963 is when
    we had World War III, right?
[12:53] ---
    The world was all but destroyed,
    and we united as one to rebuild our world.
[12:59] ---
    Could that be...?
[13:01] ---
    World War III is fabricated. A fictitious war.
[13:06] ---
    The resetting of our civilization was brought
    in line with the recovery from war.
[13:12] ---
    There was conveniently an international
    crisis 100 years prior
[13:17] ---
    that almost lead to nuclear war.
    They used it to connect the histories.
[13:21] ---
    Wait. I'm starting to get confused.
[13:24] ---
    Me, too.
[13:26] ---
    So...
[13:27] ---
    To summarize, this is how it happened.
[13:31] ---
    We moved to a new planet
    and shut down the wormholes.
[13:38] ---
    We rolled history back by 100 years,
    connecting Earth's history with a new story.
[13:42] ---
    So... history from before
    that time got wiped out?
[13:46] ---
    Is that... really possible?
[13:49] ---
    Of course it must have been very difficult.
[13:53] ---
    Changing electronic records was relatively easy,
    but silencing people was not.
[13:58] ---
    Still, the new history was
    accepted by the people.
[14:02] ---
    The first generation strictly prohibited
    the truth from getting out.
[14:09] ---
    Everyone played along.
[14:11] ---
    The unification of nations and languages
    was a big factor. But more than that...
[14:16] ---
    The first generation was determined.
[14:20] ---
    They got a second chance, and their desire
    to clean up their foolish history won out.
[14:27] ---
    All in the name of peace...
[14:31] ---
    "Foolish history"...
[14:34] ---
    Sorry, Polina. That's not what I meant.
[14:38] ---
    No, it's okay.
[14:39] ---
    I understand that's what needed to be done.
[14:42] ---
    But... thinking about all of the things
    that were erased for that cause...
[14:50] ---
    Not everything was completely erased.
[14:52] ---
    There are some records of the past
    that have been kept in Vixia.
[14:56] ---
    Thank you. Now there's something
    for me to do after going to Planet Astra.
[14:59] ---
    I hope I can tell everyone
    about history as I know it.
[15:03] ---
    You weren't put on ice for nothing, am I right?
[15:06] ---
    Hey, Funi!
[15:08] ---
    It's not me, it's Beego.
[15:10] ---
    Oh.
[15:11] ---
    So the year now is 2063, right?
[15:14] ---
    Yes, the 100th anniversary
    of the world government.
[15:18] ---
    So the real year is...
[15:21] ---
    "Thump Thump"
    2163...?
[15:23] ---
    "Thump Thump"
    So Polina is...
[15:25] ---
    This might be tough to hear, but Polina
    was not asleep for 12 years, but 112.
[15:34] ---
    --Uh-oh. Polina got knocked out.
[15:36] ---
    --Hey, bring her here.
    --Uh-oh. Polina got knocked out.
[15:37] ---
    So is Polina 140 years old?
[15:40] ---
    Funi, don't rub it in.
[15:42] ---
    One hundred forty... One hundred forty...
[15:45] ---
    One hundred... forty...
[15:54] ---
    Wow, I don't even know. Really.
[15:59] ---
    Who would've thought
    our history was all wrong?
[16:03] ---
    That must be how education
    works on Planet Astra.
[16:08] ---
    "The adults are lying"...
[16:11] ---
    That said, as far as this issue is concerned,
[16:13] ---
    adults in our generation were lied to as well.
[16:17] ---
    The real liars are adults
    from further in the past...
[16:20] ---
    It's a tough call. I can't say I'm against
    the idea of lying for the sake of peace.
[16:26] ---
    Yes. In that way, we're just like Charce.
[16:32] ---
    We were raised that way,
    so that's how we became.
[16:36] ---
    But I don't think we can keep on like this.
[16:42] ---
    We have to look at the world
    with our own eyes, minds, and doubts.
[16:47] ---
    I think that's what needs to be done
    in order to become our true selves.
[16:52] ---
    Our true selves. That's heavy.
[16:56] ---
    This is indeed heavy.
[16:59] ---
    It's not something we here can think about
    and come up with a conclusion by ourselves.
[17:02] ---
    All of the people living on Astra
    need to think about it.
[17:06] ---
    That's why we have to make it home,
    and bring this story back to them.
[17:10] ---
    Aye, yeah!
[17:16] ---
    The first issue is our originals.
[17:19] ---
    If they find out about us, won't they
    come after us to hide the facts?
[17:23] ---
    Not just that.
[17:25] ---
    If we go back unprepared, the truth of
    the wormholes and history will get out.
[17:30] ---
    I hear there is division in the government
    for keeping the secrets hidden.
[17:35] ---
    Maybe they're the ones responsible
    for taking out my brother.
[17:39] ---
    Maybe he learned about the secret of Astra,
    not just about the clones.
[17:43] ---
    Why don't we send a message
    to the media before we arrive?
[17:46] ---
    Once we get close to Astra, we should be able
    to send a message from our handhelds.
[17:51] ---
    To the press? Isn't it risky to get
    in touch with a big organization?
[17:57] ---
    If the government gets word, it's over for us.
[17:59] ---
    So we have to find a trustworthy person
    that can make a big reveal in a way that
[18:05] ---
    the government can't suppress...?
[18:07] ---
    Do we know any adults like that...?
[18:13] ---
    I do, just one person.
[18:15] ---
    A police officer who was going after
    Esposito's corruption with my brother.
[18:20] ---
    Lieutenant Grace, I think. He's in Mousanish.
[18:24] ---
    That's it!
[18:25] ---
    But... I don't know his contact info.
    I can't look him up from here.
[18:33] ---
    Why don't we send a message to my mother,
    and get her to contact Lieutenant Grace?
[18:39] ---
    My mother is on our side.
[18:42] ---
    --Oh!
    --That's a great idea!
[18:44] ---
    What do you think?
[18:45] ---
    Yeah. She raised you, right?
[18:49] ---
    Then she must be an honest,
    kind person like you.
[18:53] ---
    Let's go with that plan.
[18:55] ---
    Um, yes, right.
[18:59] ---
    Good one, Captain.
[19:01] ---
    I'm jealous.
[19:04] ---
    Not as good as us, of course.
[19:07] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[19:08] ---
    Whatever...
[19:10] ---
    These young'uns are all about the romance!
[19:19] ---
    Team B5, camp log.
[19:21] ---
    Before arriving on Astra, we decided
    to drop out of faster-than-light drive
[19:27] ---
    to send out a message.
[19:30] ---
    A single message that decides our future,
    and the future of Planet Astra as a whole.
[19:34] ---
    The responsibility is huge.
[19:37] ---
    There's so much to cover here,
    but since it's a message to my mother,
[19:43] ---
    I think I have to be the one to write it.
[19:48] ---
    "Space near Planet McPa
    Day 139 of being lost in space"
[19:53] ---
    I will be sending this camp log
    out with the message.
[20:28] ---
    Mom, we're all doing well up here!
[20:36] ---
    "Faster-than-light travel
    Day 146 of being lost in space"
[20:49] ---
    We've come this far.
    Now it's all up to our welcoming party.
[20:53] ---
    I hope our message got through.
[20:56] ---
    I can't take this anymore! I'm so nervous!
[21:00] ---
    It's okay, Quitterie. Let's trust
    my mom and Sergeant Pepper.
[21:06] ---
    It's Lieutenant Grace!
[21:12] ---
    Hey, Charce.
[21:14] ---
    What is it?
[21:15] ---
    If the king can't rejuvenate anymore,
    who's going to be the next king?
[21:21] ---
    It would be someone from
    the extended Vix royal family.
[21:27] ---
    I have a good guess who it would be,
[21:29] ---
    and he's probably the one
    behind Seira's assassination.
[21:32] ---
    Once I get back, I'm going
    to investigate this, too.
[21:37] ---
    I'll help you. I'm trying
    to become a journalist.
[21:43] ---
    Yes...!
[21:45] ---
    But I guess the adventures are all over.
[21:49] ---
    What are you talking about? It all begins
    the moment we get back to Astra.
[21:54] ---
    Our lives officially start
    the moment we get back.
[22:04] ---
    What's that sound?
[22:05] ---
    It's a ship proximity alert.
    Everyone get to the bridge.
[22:07] ---
    Isn't it our welcoming party?
[22:09] ---
    I don't know yet.
[22:10] ---
    Or did the government find out?
[22:39] ---
    This is starship Astra, please respond.
[22:49] ---
    Please respond! This is starship Astra,
    crewed by Caird High team B5!
[22:55] ---
    Please respond!
[23:09] ---
    Did you summon me, Your Majesty?
[23:11] ---
    Mark. There is an important matter
    I must discuss with you.
[23:15] ---
    Yes! It's finally here! The time for me
    to gain the right of succession!
[23:20] ---
    After getting rid of Seira and getting
    her clone to join the others,
[23:25] ---
    it's finally time for my efforts to pay off!
[23:29] ---
    I, Mark, am the next king!
[23:32] ---
    Hey, you can't just...
[23:34] ---
    What is it? I told you
    not to let anyone in here.
[23:40] ---
    This is the police.
[23:42] ---
    You've been charged with illegal human cloning
    and solicitation of murder.
[23:47] ---
    Murder?! Who are you suggesting I killed?!
[23:52] ---
    Oh, excuse me. Attempted murder.
[23:56] ---
    Attempted?
[23:57] ---
    We received a message from individuals
    claiming to be the missing Caird High kids.
[24:03] ---
    We reviewed their claims and photos,
    and confirmed that all of team B5 are alive.
[24:08] ---
    Impossible!
[24:09] ---
    I can tell from your reaction
    that you understand everything.
[24:13] ---
    You have no authority over us.
    Please follow us to the precinct.
[24:19] ---
    Charce...
[24:25] ---
    Oh, are you Mark Vix?
[24:29] ---
    We need to ask you a few questions, too,
    about the princess's murder.
[24:42] ---
    Lieutenant Grace, what's going
    on in the Vixia area...?
[24:46] ---
    A big box of secrets. The king is
    the defender of the lock, I guess.
[24:52] ---
    But that won't last much longer.
[24:54] ---
    The secret will come out of the box,
    and our world will return to chaos.
[24:58] ---
    I must say, though, I think that's
    a healthier world overall.
[25:03] ---
    I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand...
[25:06] ---
    Yeah, you'll see soon. This is going
    to turn the world upside down.
[25:13] ---
    This is starship Astra, crewed by
    Caird High team B5. Please respond!
[25:24] ---
    Can you hear us, starship Astra? Respond.
[25:28] ---
    This is starship Astra. We hear you. Over.
[25:31] ---
    This is the Astra Planetary Government.
[25:32] ---
    Your originals have all
    been taken into custody.
[25:37] ---
    Follow this ship to the surface.
[25:40] ---
    Welcome home, kids.
[25:43] ---
    Yes!
[25:48] ---
    "Planet Astra
    Day 146 of being lost in space"
[25:50] ---
    "Planet Astra
    Day of return"
[25:57] ---
    A lot of stuff sure did happen.
[26:00] ---
    Seriously, way too much.
[26:02] ---
    What do you remember the most?
[26:05] ---
    Let's see...
[26:07] ---
    For me, when the ship
    almost crashed. That was close.
[26:16] ---
    When the ship was disabled on Icriss,
    I thought we were done for.
[26:25] ---
    I can't forget getting a gun pointed
    at my head while I stripped naked.
[26:29] ---
    Shut up about that already!
[26:34] ---
    I remember singing for everyone
    on Shummoor, when you all fell ill.
[26:42] ---
    For me... when Captain saved me with his arm.
[26:54] ---
    Me, too. Kanata saved me with his arm.
[26:59] ---
    Me, also! Kanata held me in his arm!
[27:05] ---
    And me as well. I was saved by your arm.
[27:24] ---
    Thank you!
[27:27] ---
    Thanks, Kanata!
[27:29] ---
    Kanata!
[27:32] ---
    Hey, stop. Come on.
[27:37] ---
    It's all of us. We all worked together.
[27:41] ---
    We wouldn't have made it if even one
    of us wasn't here. Good work.
[27:47] ---
    What is the most memorable moment for you?
[27:50] ---
    For me, now.
[27:52] ---
    This instant right now, our landing.
[28:00] ---
    Wow.
[28:03] ---
    It feels like I've missed
    this place for such a long time.
[28:06] ---
    We've been to many places.
[28:08] ---
    Yes, but...
[28:10] ---
    It's prettier than any other planet.
[28:13] ---
    Though humanity has buried all the tunnels,
    if used right, we can explore much faster.
[28:21] ---
    We can broaden our horizons.
[28:24] ---
    "We should forge on
    without fear," Kanata said.
[28:29] ---
    Humanity did realize peace, but it's
    an unnatural one, barricaded by lies.
[28:35] ---
    We are comfortable saying it's time
    to break out of the walls and go out.
[28:40] ---
    There must be terrible things out there,
    and lots of dangers.
[28:46] ---
    But we will be fine, as long as we hold
    each other's hands and support each other.
[28:52] ---
    If we reach out into the darkness,
    we should see the light.
[28:56] ---
    Wow! Look, so many people.
[28:58] ---
    They brought cameras and things.
[29:00] ---
    So the press did come after all.
[29:03] ---
    Oh, it's Mom!
[29:06] ---
    Hey, Mom.
[29:08] ---
    Guys, that was a long camp.
    Good work out there.
[29:11] ---
    I'll see you all back at school.
[29:14] ---
    Aye, yeah!
[29:17] ---
    Overcome hardships to reach what's beyond.
[29:20] ---
    We are going forward.
[29:23] ---
    Aries Spring, team B5 camp log secretary.
[29:30] ---
    I'm home!
[29:34] ---
    Here is an update on the return of
    the ten missing Caird High students.
[29:41] ---
    The students claim to be illegal clones,
[29:44] ---
    and are accusing the individuals
    who created them.
[29:48] ---
    The police investigated this claim,
    and have taken seven suspects into custody.
[29:57] ---
    Also, Senator Marco Esposito
    is believed to be involved as well.
[30:04] ---
    The police plan to bring him in for questioning.
[30:07] ---
    Here is the interview that took
    place today with the students.
[30:12] ---
    Injuries?
[30:14] ---
    Injuries... Well...
[30:17] ---
    My arm got blown away, I guess.
[30:22] ---
    But in the end, that also turned into
    a "who can make the funniest arm" game.
[30:28] ---
    Oh, the winner was the arm made
    of a three-pronged crayfish claw.
[30:29] ---
    "Shink"
    Oh, the winner was the arm made
    of a three-pronged crayfish claw.
[30:32] ---
    I got high marks for making
    the claws actually move.
[30:36] ---
    You shouldn't have won that one!
[30:38] ---
    I think many people are curious
    about the food issues.
[30:42] ---
    I'm sure you had to fight
    starvation and dehydration.
[30:45] ---
    Tell us about the troubles you must have had.
[30:50] ---
    Yunhua, tell them.
[30:51] ---
    Aries, you should tell them.
[30:54] ---
    Um...
[30:58] ---
    I gained two kilos.
[31:02] ---
    Just one more question, please!
[31:05] ---
    Good work, guys. To avoid any issues,
    you'll be staying at a hotel we prepared.
[31:10] ---
    Yay!
[31:11] ---
    What happens to our starship Astra?
[31:16] ---
    It's a precious relic of the past.
    A museum already contacted us about it.
[31:20] ---
    A museum...
[31:32] ---
    Our dramatic return was reported
    all over the world.
[31:36] ---
    People were surprised by how
    much fun we made the trip sound.
[31:40] ---
    We were pulled into interviews
    with every media outlet,
[31:44] ---
    and appeared on television almost every day.
[31:48] ---
    Also, about the secret of the world.
[31:51] ---
    Kanata and Charce attended many
    meetings with government officials,
[31:55] ---
    and insisted that we must
    release the truth now.
[31:58] ---
    In fact, several scholars and journalists
    had already been catching on.
[32:02] ---
    When Kanata said he would release the truth
    with or without the government's help,
[32:07] ---
    they decided to officially release
    all of the hidden facts to the public.
[32:13] ---
    Of course, this was followed by a huge uproar,
[32:17] ---
    and there was a rise in antigovernment
    protests in some areas.
[32:22] ---
    What helped calm that down, though,
[32:26] ---
    was Kanata's book,
    The Adventure of the Spaceship Astra.
[32:31] ---
    The entire trip was covered in a humorous tone,
    and the book became a best seller.
[32:37] ---
    The final chapter talked about how you
    must see the world with your own eyes.
[32:42] ---
    This resonated with people all over the world,
    which directed the chaotic energy
[32:48] ---
    towards learning about the truth
    and vowing to uphold peace.
[32:52] ---
    Quitterie jumped on the bandwagon
    to become a model in a fashion magazine.
[32:57] ---
    You have a problem with that?
[32:59] ---
    But Charce ended up
    becoming the most popular.
[33:01] ---
    What's with this guy?!
[33:05] ---
    Oh, about what happened to Charce?
[33:12] ---
    Charce was never charged with a crime
    because he was determined to have been
[33:16] ---
    in a deeply brainwashed state at the time,
    and because none of us pressed charges.
[33:22] ---
    After that, a lot of things happened.
[33:24] ---
    Really, a lot of things...
[33:27] ---
    And later, he became king of Vixia.
[33:33] ---
    After taking up the throne,
    Charce immediately gave up all political power.
[33:37] ---
    He released all of the secrets held by
    the royal family, including the wormhole,
[33:42] ---
    for historical study.
[33:44] ---
    He opened parts of the castle up, too,
[33:46] ---
    and the walls around the noble area
    were taken down as well.
[33:49] ---
    I guess that was Charce's way
    of taking responsibility.
[33:54] ---
    The young king's reforms got the public's
    attention, making him even more popular.
[33:59] ---
    Enough already!
[34:01] ---
    So, although the days were far from calm,
    we started to regain our normal lives.
[34:07] ---
    Aries!
[34:24] ---
    We all graduated safely from Caird High,
[34:28] ---
    and moved on to pursue our own paths.
[34:45] ---
    "Planet Astra
    Seven years after returning"
[34:55] ---
    It's you...
[34:57] ---
    ...Ulgar...
[34:59] ---
    You have no right to visit me, clone.
[35:03] ---
    All of us team B5 members
    received updated birth certificates.
[35:08] ---
    You and I aren't related anymore, not family.
[35:10] ---
    You've grown much taller.
[35:13] ---
    You're beginning to resemble my son.
[35:16] ---
    That's what I wanted to ask you about.
    Finn Zweig, my brother.
[35:21] ---
    Marco Esposito got him killed, right?
[35:29] ---
    Finn was very good at what he did.
[35:31] ---
    He traced our connection back to
    the secrets of Vixia royalty.
[35:36] ---
    He was getting too close. If not Marco,
    someone else would have taken him out.
[35:40] ---
    So you were okay with that?
[35:43] ---
    When he died, you were sad, too!
[35:45] ---
    I wished you had died instead of my son.
[35:49] ---
    I still do.
[35:53] ---
    But my son is dead.
[35:55] ---
    If I had ended our project, too,
    I gained nothing.
[35:58] ---
    I needed to complete the project,
    for my son's sake, too.
[36:04] ---
    That was what I thought at the time.
[36:07] ---
    And after all that, the project failed,
    and you also failed to erase us.
[36:18] ---
    He was...
[36:19] ---
    Finn was very good.
[36:22] ---
    He was a good son.
[36:24] ---
    Yeah...
[36:26] ---
    I know.
[36:34] ---
    If only...
[36:37] ---
    If only that old ship had not been
    at the exit of the wormhole...
[36:52] ---
    Old ship...
[36:59] ---
    True.
[37:06] ---
    Bye, then.
[37:19] ---
    Hey, Polina!
[37:21] ---
    I'm your teacher now, you know.
    Though part-time.
[37:25] ---
    Yes, Miss Livinskaya!
[37:27] ---
    Heading out now, Funi?
[37:30] ---
    Yes. You, too, right?
[37:33] ---
    Yes.
[37:34] ---
    I have an interview now, then I'm giving
    a presentation about history at a university.
[37:39] ---
    Seems like you ended up
    becoming the busiest.
[37:42] ---
    Look, that's Miss Polina!
[37:43] ---
    I'm a precious witness of the Old Era.
[37:46] ---
    You're not 147 years old for nothing!
[37:47] ---
    I'm 36!
[37:50] ---
    You're going to Yunhua's concert tonight, right?
[37:52] ---
    Yes, that's where I'm headed.
[37:54] ---
    I wish I could go, too. Tell everyone I said hi.
[38:00] ---
    Hey, Ulgar!
[38:04] ---
    Hey, you two.
[38:05] ---
    Did you come to pick me up?
    You're going to the concert, too, right?
[38:09] ---
    Unfortunately, I've got work.
[38:10] ---
    Oh. I guess journalists are busy, too.
[38:13] ---
    Well Mr. Reporter, thank you for your escort.
[38:16] ---
    Aye, yeah.
[38:17] ---
    Wait, Ulgar is interviewing Polina?
[38:21] ---
    I'm jealous! It's a date!
[38:25] ---
    Later.
[38:27] ---
    I want to get a ride in your car, too!
[38:34] ---
    Yeah, soon.
[38:42] ---
    What's so funny?
[38:43] ---
    She looks way too much like Quitterie.
[38:48] ---
    I guess she's the same age now
    as Quitterie was then.
[38:51] ---
    By the way, Yunhua's concert is important,
    too, but what about the spaceport?
[38:56] ---
    Aren't they leaving soon?
[38:58] ---
    Actually, I stopped by the spaceport already,
    and said my farewells.
[39:02] ---
    Oh, I see.
[39:04] ---
    I couldn't see the captain,
    but I'm sure he'll be back soon.
[39:10] ---
    Perhaps he will need to be
    interviewed soon, too.
[39:13] ---
    "Earth Memorial Hall
    Prior to Yunhua’s concert"
[39:16] ---
    Like I said, Yunhua is our friend!
[39:19] ---
    Don't you know about us? We're team B5!
[39:23] ---
    It's okay, Quitterie.
    We don't have to go backstage now.
[39:26] ---
    We can see her after the show.
[39:29] ---
    So we're just waiting for Funi, right?
[39:31] ---
    What about Ulgar?
[39:32] ---
    He's flying around all over the place
    and rarely goes home.
[39:36] ---
    Last night he came to crash at my place.
[39:38] ---
    Don't worry about that busy bee.
[39:41] ---
    Speaking of flying around,
    aren't they taking off today?
[39:46] ---
    They told us not to go to send them off,
    but aren't you worried?
[39:49] ---
    Of course not! If he wants to leave his
    pretty wife behind, it must be important.
[39:54] ---
    Oh, so you're angry.
[39:57] ---
    Aries, you can be upset, too.
[39:59] ---
    Yes.
[40:00] ---
    Is everything okay with you two?
[40:03] ---
    Well...
[40:05] ---
    Actually, Kanata and I are getting married.
[40:10] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't update you.
[40:14] ---
    Congratulations!
[40:16] ---
    Your dream finally came true!
[40:18] ---
    That guy made you wait way too long.
[40:21] ---
    He never really had a day to settle down,
    preparing to become an explorer.
[40:25] ---
    So the two of us went to Vixia the other day,
    just to do the customary thing.
[40:36] ---
    He asked Charce if he could
    marry his daughter.
[40:54] ---
    When he gets back, we're throwing
    the biggest ceremony!
[40:57] ---
    Aries, you mentioned you wanted
    a baby soon, right?
[41:00] ---
    Yes. I want a girl.
[41:03] ---
    Her name will be...
[41:05] ---
    ...Seira.
[41:11] ---
    Thank you. Next, I'd like to sing a new song.
[41:17] ---
    This one is dedicated to my companions.
[41:21] ---
    Today, several of my precious friends
    are going up into space again.
[41:28] ---
    I remember that five-month long trip
    from when I was 17 years old.
[41:33] ---
    That was a precious moment of my youth.
[41:37] ---
    We worked together to reach our goal,
    desperately, and moved forward.
[41:44] ---
    I was trapped in a shell,
    unable to express myself.
[41:47] ---
    I am who I am thanks to them.
[41:55] ---
    I will never forget those adventures.
[42:00] ---
    We went through so many dangers,
    fought each other, cried, got depressed...
[42:07] ---
    A lot happened, but what I always
    remember first is how we all smiled.
[42:13] ---
    The captain made a fortune with his book,
    and bought back that old ship.
[42:20] ---
    I understand how he feels.
    That ship represents our friendship.
[42:27] ---
    Our journey continues,
    for years and years to come.
[42:32] ---
    The Astra will... The Astra will move on!

    of the Spaceship Astra."
