[03:29] Ichigo (015)     Every now and then, it hurts to think     that we're living here without them. [03:36] Ichigo (015)     I keep wishing there was     something we could do for them. [03:41] Goro (056)     We all feel the same way. [03:44] Goro (056)     But... [03:45] Goro (056)     All that's left for us is to focus     on what we can do here and now.

[05:04] Ichigo (015)     It was something we'd never forget.

[07:57] Zero Two (002)     Darling, we're nearing the     enemy's home planet now. [08:02] Chief and Vice Chairman     You feeble lifeform, bound to your flesh... [08:06] Zero Two (002)     VIRM!

[08:16] Zero Two (002)     Is that... Hringhorni? [08:20] Vice Chairman     This is our territory. [08:25] Chief     Feeble one, let me deliver     you from your suffering. [08:32] Zero Two (002)     Let's do this, darling. [08:36] Zero Two (002)     Darling? [08:38] Zero Two (002)     Darling?! [08:41] Zero Two (002)     Darling? [08:41] Zero Two (002)     Hang in there, darling! [08:47] Zero Two (002)     Why? [08:48] Zero Two (002)     Why can't I hear his voice,     when he's right here? [08:56] Hiro (016)     Zero Two... Zero Two! [09:00] Hiro (016)     You're right here, but your     voice is growing distant. [09:07] Zero Two (002)     What did you do to my darling? [09:09] Chief     Gently caressed his surface     consciousness, that's all. [09:13] Vice Chairman     Every physical body has its limits, [09:16] Vice Chairman     and he is but a frail human. [09:18] Vice Chairman     You two may have a shallow connection, [09:21] Vice Chairman     but as a pure klaxosaur crystallization,     you are not a good match for him. [09:29] Zero Two (002)     No! [09:33] Zero Two (002)     Stop! [09:37] Hiro (016)     It's so quiet. [09:39] Hiro (016)     Where am I going? [09:42] Hiro (016)     I vowed to be with you forever, so why     can't I stand with you until the end? [09:48] Hiro (016)     Is it because I'm human? [09:52] Zero Two (002)     Darling's... My darling's mind is fading! [10:10] Zero Two (002)     Please, I beg you... [10:12] Zero Two (002)     Guys... [10:13] Zero Two (002)     Please save my darling! [10:21] Ai     Darling! Darling! [10:23] Mitsuru (326)     What's the matter, Ai? [10:25] Mitsuru (326)     You know you can't do that. [10:27] Ai     Papa, darling! [10:30] Kokoro (556)     Is something wrong, Papa? [10:33] Mitsuru (326)     Well, Kokoro-san... Ow! [10:35] Kokoro (556)     Jeez, I keep telling you to call me "Mama." [10:39] Mitsuru (326)     Uh, she's... [10:40] Ai     Darling! [10:43] Kokoro (556)     Why? She shouldn't know that word yet. [10:47] Kokoro (556)     Could it be... [10:50] Mitsuru (326)     We should let everyone know! [10:52] Ikuno (196)     I'd heard it was originally yours, [10:55] Ikuno (196)     so I wasn't sure whether to show you. [10:59] Naomi (703)     I'm sure I can only stand here     now because of this mirror. [11:05] Naomi (703)     I should be grateful. [11:09] Ichigo (015)     Come with me, you two! [11:11] Zorome (666)     This Zero Two is linked to the one in space? [11:15] Mitsuru (326)     I can't say for sure, but yeah. [11:17] Futoshi (214)     Even if it is, how are     we gonna talk to her? [11:21] Mitsuru (326)     We should all link up, too. [11:36] Ichigo (015)     And so, we started praying to the skies. [11:40] Ichigo (015)     All day, all night. More and more     people joined us by the day, [11:44] Ichigo (015)     and we all screamed our throats hoarse     at something that may not be there. [11:51] Zero Two (002)     I can hear all their voices! [11:54] Zero Two (002)     Hey, darling! [11:55] Zero Two (002)     Can you hear them, too? [11:57] Ichigo (015)     Listen, we're doing our best here on Earth! [12:01] Goro (056)     We haven't forgotten about     you two, you hear me? [12:04] Goro (056)     Not a day goes by when     we don't think about you! [12:07] Futoshi (214)     Squad 13 isn't complete with you two, [12:11] Futoshi (214)     but we've gained loads of new friends, too! [12:14] Zorome (666)     I'll never let you guys outshine me! [12:17] Zorome (666)     I'm gonna take my own path in life! [12:19] Miku (390)     That's right! [12:20] Miku (390)     We promise we'll all find our     happiness, no matter what! [12:24] Ikuno (196)     I've decided to make the most     of the time I have left. [12:29] Mitsuru (326)     Hiro! We gave our child a name! [12:33] Mitsuru (326)     Just like you gave us all our names! [12:37] Kokoro (556)     It's Ai, for love!      The word we were never taught! [12:42] Mitsuru (326)     I read an old book and learned that     having a deep bond like you two [12:46] Mitsuru (326)     means you love each other. [12:50] Mitsuru (326)     And we want our child to inherit that bond! [12:54] Mitsuru (326)     That's what we decided! [12:59] Hiro (016)     I hear their voices... [13:05] Hiro (016)     "Ai"? [13:07] Zero Two (002)     That's right. Humans are strong. [13:10] Hiro (016)     Zero Two? [13:11] Zero Two (002)     This is something you started. [13:14] Zero Two (002)     You've always yelled out that you want to     be there and live together with everyone. [13:18] Hiro (016)     It's not something to be proud of. [13:20] Hiro (016)     Mine was just a petty, selfish wish. [13:22] Hiro (016)     I thoughtlessly rushed toward everything, [13:25] Hiro (016)     and I caused trouble for everyone. [13:27] Zero Two (002)     But that's how badly you     wanted to live, right? [13:30] Zero Two (002)     That's why you yelled to me that     you wanted to be here, right? [13:35] Zero Two (002)     You dazzled me. [13:38] Zero Two (002)     Your pained expression, and your tears... [13:40] Zero Two (002)     They were exactly the     humanity I always wanted. [13:44] Zero Two (002)     And so, we were bound by a kiss. [13:47] Zero Two (002)     A kiss is a symbol of saying, "You're mine     and mine alone. You're special to me." [13:52] Zero Two (002)     We met by chance and were attracted     to each other by nature. [13:57] Zero Two (002)     Now, say my name, darling! [14:00] Hiro (016)     Zero Two! [14:05] Zero Two (002)     It's time for us to become one! [14:07] Zero Two (002)     We are the Jian! [14:23] Zero Two (002)     I feel your blood coursing through my veins! [14:27] Zero Two (002)     You're dyeing every part of me in your colors! [14:32] Zero Two (002)     I was blessed and happy to meet you all! [14:35] Zero Two (002)     I'm glad I was born into this world! [14:39] Zero Two (002)     I love you, darling! [14:41] Hiro (016)     Same here, Zero Two! [14:43] Hiro (016)     I love you, too! [14:57] Hiro (016)     Commence implanting! [15:01] Zero Two (002)     What? [15:08] Hiro (016)     Not yet! [15:10] Hiro (016)     We've gotta rewrite that story     and continue it together! [15:40] Hiro (016)     Zero Two... [15:42] Hiro (016)     I'm becoming one with you. [15:44] Hiro (016)     You are me... [15:46] Zero Two (002)     ...and you are me. [15:49] Hiro (016)     We'll probably vanish soon. [15:53] Hiro (016)     But the path we've walked won't ever fade, [15:57] Hiro (016)     because the others will take it even further. [16:00] Zero Two (002)     It doesn't matter how long it takes. [16:02] Zero Two (002)     If we have souls, [16:05] Zero Two (002)     I swear I'll meet you again on Earth. [16:10] Hiro (016)     I love you, Zero Two. [16:13] Zero Two (002)     I feel the same. [16:15] Zero Two (002)     I love you, too, darling. [16:25] Chief     All of you so-called souls... [16:28] Chief     Are you going back to     be caged in your bodies? [16:33] Chief     You willingly choose to be     shackled by pain and sorrow? [16:39] Chief     VIRM will not die. [16:42] Vice Chairman     I'm sure we will face off once     again at the apex of evolution... [16:47] Both     So long as this universe     contains a flicker of life. [16:53] Goro (056)     It's over, huh? [16:55] Ikuno (196)     Did our prayers reach them? [16:59] Zorome (666)     I'm sure they did! [17:02] Kokoro (556)     Thanks to them, this planet can     go back and start from square one. [17:08] Ai     Mama? [17:13] Ichigo (015)     Take as long as you want, [17:15] Ichigo (015)     but make sure you both come back here. [17:19] Ichigo (015)     We'll keep our home up and running     so you can return anytime. [17:31] Zorome (666)     Hey... [17:39] Ichigo (015)     That bright light shone upon     us for three days straight. [17:44] Ichigo (015)     And a few days later, many klaxosaurs     returned to Earth from the battle, [17:49] Ichigo (015)     dove straight into the earth,     and became a part of it. [17:56] Ichigo (015)     Hachi said that maybe they decided     to let mankind have Earth. SIGN    Days Since Gate Passage     3705 [18:03] Ichigo (015)     And eight years passed. [18:08] Kokoro (556)     As we decided to rebuild our lives on Earth, [18:12] Kokoro (556)     we made a vow. [18:14] Zorome (666)     A vow to stop using what little     magma energy we had left. [18:19] Futoshi (214)     Because it's a symbol of     the klaxosaurs' bonds, [18:21] Futoshi (214)     and something very precious     to the planet itself. [18:25] Mitsuru (326)     But that decision brought our     lives adversity after adversity. [18:30] Goro (056)     Because we had to conjure up a     self-sufficient lifestyle out of thin air. [18:36] Ikuno (196)     Using our meager food     reserves as a foundation... [18:39] Miku (390)     ...we gradually made everything     we needed to live. [18:47] Ichigo (015)     And then, we finished the     rest of that picture book. [18:52] Ichigo (015)     So that those two would forever be as one, [18:56] Ichigo (015)     and so that future generations     would know about them.

[20:45] Zorome (666)     Come off it. I'm just busy with stuff. [20:48] Miku (390)     What stuff? [20:50] Zorome (666)     You know, stuff. [20:51] Ichigo (015)     Those two were arguing again. [20:53] Ikuno (196)     Even on a day for everyone to     meet up? They never change. [20:58] Ikuno (196)     Everything looks good. [21:01] Ikuno (196)     It's growing fine. [21:03] Ichigo (015)     Thanks, Ikuno. [21:06] Ichigo (015)     You're going to be a mom, huh? [21:09] Ichigo (015)     I wonder what your baby will be like... [21:11] Futoshi (214)     I'm here, Ikuno. [21:14] Ikuno (196)     Futoshi? [21:15] Futoshi (214)     Want to try my new bread recipe? [21:18] Naomi (703)     You haven't lost any weight at all. [21:21] Futoshi (214)     Quiet, you. [21:23] Futoshi (214)     And it was Ikuno's fault     that I regained my appetite. [21:27] Futoshi (214)     It's all thanks to your research [21:29] Futoshi (214)     that us ex-parasites' accelerated     aging is being kept in check. [21:35] Ikuno (196)     Your bread's really special, too. [21:38] Ikuno (196)     All the kids here grow up eating it. [21:43] Futoshi (214)     Kokoro and Mitsuru are having their fourth. [21:45] Ikuno (196)     I heard. [21:46] Ichigo (015)     You're one to talk. [21:49] Futoshi (214)     Oh. [21:51] Ichigo (015)     We're good here, so get going. [21:54] Futoshi (214)     Yeah. [21:56] Ikuno (196)     Where's Goro? [21:57] Ichigo (015)     He'll get here soon. [21:59] Ikuno (196)     He's still traveling all over the place? [22:02] Ikuno (196)     But you know what he said? [22:05] Ikuno (196)     He wants to stay put by your side     for a while, for the baby's sake. [22:10] Ichigo (015)     Yeah. [22:12] Zorome (666)     We're all grown up now, huh? [22:15] Miku (390)     Your mental age disagrees. [22:17] Goro (056)     We're nothing like the adults     we grew up watching, though. [22:22] Kokoro (556)     Anything goes, as long as we're     good role models for our kids. [22:28] Ichigo (015)     Hiro, Zero Two... [22:30] Ichigo (015)     We're all living strong,     with our own lives now. [22:34] Ichigo (015)     You two were the ones who showed us how to... [22:39] Futoshi (214)     ...enjoy every experience. [22:41] Ikuno (196)     Fight when you have to. [22:44] Zorome (666)     Keep working toward your goal. [22:46] Miku (390)     Never half-ass things, and go all-out. [22:49] Kokoro (556)     Try and get to know another person better. [22:52] Mitsuru (326)     Choose your destiny with your own hands. [22:54] Goro (056)     Be honest with your feelings. [22:57] Ichigo (015)     And be someone's wings. [23:01] Ichigo (015)     In that sense, I know that you two     were more human than anybody else. [23:23] Hiro (016)     One day, for sure. [23:26] Zero Two (002)     Yeah. One day, for sure. SIGN    One day, for sure [23:40] Guard     Stop running! You'll fall! [23:42] Zero Two (002)     I'll be fine! [23:45] Zero Two (002)     Ow... [23:47] Hiro (016)     You okay? [23:49] Zero Two (002)     Who are you? [23:51] Hiro (016)     Me? [23:53] Hiro (016)     My name is... SIGN    And a new story begins
