**[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
Day 120 of being lost in space"
**[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!
