    Escape
[00:17] ---
    On this wind,
[00:19] ---
    I let my tears ride
[00:21] ---
    Speeding up until they dry
[00:26] ---
    I can fly over and go on
[00:30] ---
    I just know that the answer
[00:32] ---
    Is out there, on the far side of that distant sky
[00:42] ---
    In this place, where I can't find the answer
[00:47] ---
    I sigh and look at the sky
[00:52] ---
    Shining deep in these eyes suffused in blue
[00:58] ---
    Is a dreamer, who can go anywhere
[01:01] ---
    That's me, you see
[01:03] ---
    Escape
[01:04] ---
    On this wind,
[01:07] ---
    I let my wish ride
[01:09] ---
    My outstretched hands paint the future
[01:14] ---
    I'm not afraid anymore
[01:17] ---
    Of the trace of tears
[01:20] ---
    Suffused in rainbow colors, I fly on
[01:30] ---
    To the far side of that sky
[01:55] ---
    I wonder what Noa's doing...
[01:57] ---
    If we'd made her a spacesuit,
    she could've come along.
[02:00] ---
    This isn't an anime.
[02:02] ---
    There's no budget for that
    sort of thing in real life.
[02:05] ---
    Woohoo, daughter of the CEO!
[02:07] ---
    Don't. I mean it.
[02:08] ---
    I bet she's feeling lonely... Noa...
[02:11] ---
    She hasn't seen Naru in a long time, either...
[02:49] ---
    Thank you.
[02:51] ---
    It says it can breathe now.
[02:57] ---
    Come here.
[03:09] ---
    I still find this so strange.
[03:11] ---
    When I'm near you, I feel free and easy.
[03:14] ---
    You are not ill.
[03:16] ---
    There is merely a piece of the
    Scub Coral growing inside of you.
[03:20] ---
    Why are you so kind only to me?
[03:23] ---
    Kind? This Truth?
[03:26] ---
    You do everything I ask of you
    and you always stay with me.
[03:31] ---
    Even though I haven't done anything for you.
[03:35] ---
    You and I are one and the same.
[03:38] ---
    We seek the truth together
    and disavow this world.
[03:43] ---
    I still think you're kind.
[03:46] ---
    Because for me,
    you've refrained from killing Ao.
[03:53] ---
    Ao Fukai...
[03:55] ---
    In time, he, too, will realize the truth.
[04:24] ---
    Amazing...
[04:31] ---
    Wh-What the heck is this?
[04:40] ---
    Our headquarters was built by
    recycling the unfamiliar structures
[04:43] ---
    that were discovered in Scub Corals.
[04:47] ---
    I believe that was how it was explained to you?
[04:49] ---
    The Op Director...
[04:51] ---
    I was also told that the Gazelle Agency
[04:53] ---
    was a free and independent reserve unit
[04:55] ---
    with the freedom to go where we pleased.
[04:57] ---
    However, you are funded 100% by our company.
[05:01] ---
    I would ask that you apprise us
    of your activities at all times.
[05:03] ---
    You make it sound so sinister.
[05:05] ---
    We only wanted to verify what it was
    that the US agent was investigating.
[05:10] ---
    For future reference, you see.
[05:13] ---
    This is just the remains of a test site.
[05:15] ---
    We merely have it sealed off
    out of contamination concerns.
[05:17] ---
    C-Contamination?!
[05:20] ---
    I totally expected to see a heap of Quartz here.
[05:24] ---
    Quartz? Those are not here.
[05:27] ---
    That won't work on us.
[05:28] ---
    In point of fact, the teams have
    collected them on many occasions.
[05:31] ---
    Still, they're not here anymore.
[05:49] ---
    I just can't get used to it.
[05:51] ---
    This whole space thing...
[05:53] ---
    Well, I'm going this way.
[05:56] ---
    Huh?
[05:57] ---
    She's going to transfer the Quartz.
[06:00] ---
    The ones we collected from the Scub Corals?
[06:02] ---
    They're all here?
[06:15] ---
    Silicon?
[06:16] ---
    Depicting zero-G in
    animation is a pain, after all.
[06:19] ---
    Why are you talking about animation?
[06:23] ---
    Looks like you caught us just
    as we finished our baking.
[06:28] ---
    A butler? Is that a butler?
[06:31] ---
    This is Chief Hannah of Team Harlequin.
[06:38] ---
    You must be Ao. I knew you right away.
[06:40] ---
    Well, sure. With that hair.
[06:43] ---
    Um, Chief...
[06:44] ---
    Call me Mom.
[06:46] ---
    That's what everybody calls me around here.
[06:48] ---
    M-Mom...?
[06:50] ---
    Wow, so you really are an alien.
[06:53] ---
    An alien?
[06:55] ---
    Come on, let's all have tea together.
[06:57] ---
    No, let's get right to the meeting.
[06:59] ---
    I just have one set to go.
[07:01] ---
    Liu Yin.
[07:02] ---
    Yes, Ma'am.
[07:04] ---
    Coffee for you, I believe? Ivica?
[07:09] ---
    This is why I hate space.
[07:13] ---
    So, the computer here is Georg, too.
[07:15] ---
    I am one, Ao Fukai.
[07:17] ---
    Why? Because to begin with, I am not
    a computer, but an operating system...
[07:20] ---
    He's the same.
[07:22] ---
    Ao, come on, over here.
[07:34] ---
    That thing's for the Planet War Initiative.
[07:37] ---
    So I hear.
[07:38] ---
    It's meant to intercept ballistic missiles in space.
[07:42] ---
    You think it's easy to get
    authorization for something like that?
[07:44] ---
    Authorization? No need.
[07:46] ---
    I've already hijacked its circuitry.
[07:49] ---
    Firecracker, huh?
[07:51] ---
    Just keeping you informed. Later.
[07:54] ---
    J. Johansson.
[07:59] ---
    Prof. Johansson committed
    suicide several years ago.
[08:03] ---
    The Johansson Book that he left behind
[08:05] ---
    is called a book of prophecy
    by some of his adherents.
[08:09] ---
    The professor had an adopted son.
[08:12] ---
    And this adopted son is you, isn't it, Truth?
[08:17] ---
    Johansson said...
[08:20] ---
    ...that this world is wrong.
[08:27] ---
    --Even if there is a fusion blast due to
[08:28] ---
    --It's begun.
[08:29] ---
    a Scub Burst in space...
[08:31] ---
    ...it will not harm us on Earth's surface.
[08:34] ---
    However, this time, the Scub
    has appeared at an altitude
[08:37] ---
    that falls within what is called "low Earth orbit,"
[08:39] ---
    which has a high concentration of satellites.
[08:41] ---
    If a fusion blast occurs here,
[08:43] ---
    it is believed that it will produce
    a massive amount of debris.
[08:46] ---
    Therefore, on this occasion,
[08:47] ---
    the UN has commissioned Generation
    Bleu to eliminate the Secret.
[08:51] ---
    Man, that feels good!
[08:53] ---
    A mission with all the world's
    hope squarely on our shoulders.
[08:57] ---
    Truly, we are international rescuers.
[09:00] ---
    If we fail, our sponsors will waste no time
[09:02] ---
    washing their hands of us.
[09:05] ---
    Why are we the ones going?
[09:07] ---
    When those other people are here...
[09:09] ---
    Harlequin gets special treatment.
[09:11] ---
    Like you, Fleur?
[09:15] ---
    Harlequin is supposed to be our backup.
[09:19] ---
    But in truth, they're...
[09:20] ---
    The guardians of the Quartz!
[09:22] ---
    The Quartz?
[09:23] ---
    Though the Seven Days of Fire may come
[09:25] ---
    and all on the Earth's surface be razed
    to the ground, they will survive.
[09:29] ---
    Which is why there are multiple
    families living here as well.
[09:32] ---
    What's this "Fire" thing?
[09:33] ---
    That's not the part worth questioning,
[09:35] ---
    but it's true that there are rumors to that effect.
[09:38] ---
    They'll survive, even if the rest of us all die?
[09:41] ---
    Oh, honestly! Hurry up!
[09:46] ---
    Out in space, our IFOs won't
    be free to move as we please.
[09:49] ---
    We'll have to do this in one lethal strike...
[09:52] ---
    Ao? What's wrong, Ao?
[09:55] ---
    There's something wrong...
[09:57] ---
    What's happened?
[09:58] ---
    I've never seen a sky like this...
[10:01] ---
    I can't see it...
[10:03] ---
    The path in the wind...
[10:05] ---
    I was afraid of this.
[10:07] ---
    What's the meaning of this?
[10:08] ---
    Ao, return immediately.
[10:10] ---
    Fleur and Elena, stand by. Be good now.
[10:13] ---
    The time until the Secret makes contact is...
[10:15] ---
    Here, Mom's word is law.
[10:32] ---
    What's the path in the wind?
[10:33] ---
    I'd always been able to see it until now.
[10:35] ---
    Ever since I was a kid, when I first flew.
[10:39] ---
    See what?
[10:40] ---
    So, up until now, you've been
    piloting FPs by following those paths.
[10:47] ---
    Um, you all see it, too, don't you?
[10:53] ---
    Ao likely sees the world like this.
[10:57] ---
    What he sees is not the wind. They are trapars.
[11:01] ---
    He can see trapars?
[11:03] ---
    It was reported that the genes
[11:05] ---
    for his optic nerve cells differ
    in part from ours, remember?
[11:09] ---
    But while we refer to trapars
    as "particles," if I remember right...
[11:12] ---
    Approximate diameter, 20 nanometers.
[11:15] ---
    No human can see them with the naked eye.
[11:18] ---
    But he can see them.
[11:20] ---
    And that's exactly why he's
    performed as well as he has.
[11:23] ---
    Why?
[11:26] ---
    Why did you know about me?
[11:31] ---
    Because you're an alien.
[11:35] ---
    Hey, have you ever seen trapars, Elena?
[11:37] ---
    If it's perfect otaku pitch, I have it!
[11:40] ---
    That means Ao's been seeing the
    world differently than we do, right?
[11:44] ---
    That sounds like a line from an anime.
[11:47] ---
    It's not, though.
[11:49] ---
    Thirteen years ago, Japan time, April 12th.
[11:56] ---
    April 12th...
[11:58] ---
    You haven't heard?
[12:05] ---
    Nirvash!
[12:07] ---
    The US military in Okinawa
    immediately called for a scramble.
[12:10] ---
    This is their footage.
[12:13] ---
    Anma!
[12:17] ---
    How dare you show him something
    like this out of the blue?
[12:20] ---
    We should have told you much earlier.
[12:23] ---
    As you can see, the Mark I Nirvash
    emerged from the pillar of light.
[12:28] ---
    Just like the Scub Corals and Secrets.
[12:30] ---
    In other words, from another world.
[12:33] ---
    Another world? Where is that?
[12:36] ---
    According to Johansson...
[12:37] ---
    That unscientific crap!
[12:40] ---
    Anm... Where is my mother now?
[12:44] ---
    As I told you before, she's been
    missing since ten years ago and...
[12:47] ---
    Why are you keeping it a secret?
[12:49] ---
    At the Scub Burst off the coast of Okinawa,
[12:52] ---
    all that was found was the
    Nirvash without its pilot.
[12:57] ---
    The person from the other world
    known as Eureka is likely no longer...
[13:05] ---
    There are almost no trapars in space,
    so Ao has no piloting advantage.
[13:11] ---
    Having him participate in this mission
    as things stand is dangerous.
[13:15] ---
    As I have been proposing for some time,
[13:16] ---
    he should stay here to reside on the
    Proteus under investigative custody.
[13:20] ---
    So, in spite of being out in space,
    you expressly sent for Pied Piper
[13:24] ---
    because you were planning to abduct Ao!
[13:26] ---
    Abduct?! That is what you people have done!
[13:30] ---
    I am against using Ao in combat.
[13:33] ---
    It may be that he is being
    forced to fight his own kind.
[13:37] ---
    Mom... Chief...
[13:41] ---
    If you stay here, you'll be the same
    as one of my children. Okay?
[13:47] ---
    I'm going.
[13:48] ---
    Ao?
[13:50] ---
    I'll show you that I can fly properly.
[13:58] ---
    Ao, I'll do the navigation.
[14:01] ---
    You'll just be the Rocket Punch
    that flies straight anyway.
[14:04] ---
    Thank you, both of you.
[14:12] ---
    The Kyrie and the Alleluia
    will divert the Secret's attack.
[14:15] ---
    While they do, the Nirvash
    will charge towards the Secret,
[14:19] ---
    destroying it upon reaching maximum proximity,
[14:21] ---
    and then rebound from that to change its orbit.
[14:23] ---
    By making contact, or rather,
    by colliding with the giant Scub Coral,
[14:28] ---
    the Nirvash will decelerate and
    change its orbit at the same time,
[14:30] ---
    rendezvousing with the Triton.
[14:32] ---
    So this is the best we can do
    with the fuel they can carry.
[14:35] ---
    If he fails to make contact with the Scub,
    he'll plummet straight to Earth.
[14:39] ---
    If that should happen, I'll use the
    Triton to do whatever it takes.
[14:47] ---
    That's the Secret.
[14:50] ---
    It is approaching the Scub with the
    same velocity as when it appeared.
[14:54] ---
    It has no noticeable propulsion apparatus,
[14:56] ---
    so there should be no worries
    of it changing its orbit.
[15:04] ---
    As was true underwater, you cannot
    count on trapars to blind it in space.
[15:08] ---
    You have already been detected by the Secret.
[15:10] ---
    Exercise full caution.
[15:12] ---
    It's like a jack-in-the-box.
[15:21] ---
    Raising fireworks to draw its fire.
[15:23] ---
    Please do!
[15:33] ---
    Igniting Stage 2 rockets!
[15:38] ---
    Go, Ao.
[15:43] ---
    I guess I really was an alien...
[15:47] ---
    If Anma was, then so am I...
[15:50] ---
    Where did I come from?
[15:54] ---
    Tell me, Secret!
[16:11] ---
    Ao!
[16:11] ---
    We can't! We're almost out of fuel, too!
[16:27] ---
    Please enter the orbit to
    rendezvous with the Scub.
[16:30] ---
    I know!
[16:34] ---
    All right, once we pick up Alleluia and Kyrie,
[16:37] ---
    adjust orbit to head for the
    rendezvous point with Nirvash.
[16:40] ---
    Wait! What is this?
[16:48] ---
    A railgun?!
[16:49] ---
    It's a Japanese satellite!
[16:51] ---
    A malfunction?!
[16:52] ---
    They have some nerve telling us that.
[17:01] ---
    This is not good.
[17:03] ---
    What do you mean?
[17:05] ---
    The Scub's orbit has shifted
    and it has begun to descend.
[17:08] ---
    The direction of its velocity
    matches that of the Nirvash.
[17:11] ---
    So?! What does that mean?!
[17:18] ---
    My orbit hasn't changed?!
[17:20] ---
    It has begun to descend on roughly
    the same orbit as the Nirvash,
[17:24] ---
    so even after collision,
[17:25] ---
    the Nirvash, with its small mass,
    will only decelerate,
[17:28] ---
    and the orbit of both objects will not change.
[17:31] ---
    Both will merely fall together,
    drawn by Earth's gravity.
[17:34] ---
    This is an elementary law of physics.
[17:37] ---
    What?!
[17:37] ---
    Nirvash's descent remains unchecked!
[17:40] ---
    Ao, get away from the Scub!
[17:41] ---
    Ao!
[17:43] ---
    He's going to crash.
[17:46] ---
    Ao Fukai, am I kind?
[17:53] ---
    We have the orbit calculated!
[17:57] ---
    They will fall into the atmosphere...
[18:00] ---
    The Scub Coral will burn up,
[18:03] ---
    and fortunately, there are no
    satellites in collision orbits,
[18:07] ---
    so it will produce no debris, but...
[18:10] ---
    However, the Nirvash will
    also be unable to endure
[18:12] ---
    the high temperatures of reentry into
    the atmosphere, and it will burn up.
[18:15] ---
    We can't let that happen! Do something, Dad!
[18:18] ---
    Fleur, wait to be picked up by the Triton.
[18:23] ---
    There's nothing you two can do.
[18:25] ---
    You're going to abandon him?!
[18:26] ---
    Abandon Ao?! Because he's an alien?!
[18:28] ---
    Fleur!
[18:30] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:37] ---
    Just as I thought, it was too much to ask.
[18:39] ---
    It's not your fault, Mom.
[18:41] ---
    Ao, once you enter the stratosphere,
    there will be trapars.
[18:44] ---
    There's a chance you'll be able
    to use them to decelerate.
[18:47] ---
    But if I burn up before then...
[18:49] ---
    Don't give up. You...
[18:52] ---
    My anma's already gone, right?
[18:54] ---
    No matter how kind
    that Mom is, she's not Anma.
[18:58] ---
    And you all kept that from me!
[18:59] ---
    So what of it?!
[19:01] ---
    I won't let any of you die!
[19:04] ---
    I'll save you, even if it means
    letting the Triton burn up!
[19:07] ---
    I'm coming over there right now!
[19:09] ---
    Wait for me!
[19:11] ---
    I...
[19:13] ---
    I'm...
[19:21] ---
    Ao...
[19:38] ---
    Huh?
[19:39] ---
    Get in, Ao! Get as far inside as you can!
[19:58] ---
    What's that?
[20:15] ---
    A ship?!
[20:55] ---
    Is that person saying to use this as a board?
[21:32] ---
    Time to fly.
[22:23] ---
    My name is Eureka.
[22:25] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[22:27] ---
    Oh? Your hair...
[22:31] ---
    An... ma...
[22:34] ---
    "To Be Continued"
[22:35] ---
    To be continued.
[22:39] ---
    The pounding beat of my heart
[22:45] ---
    Had become a familiar part
    of me before I knew it

[22:51] ---
    Even if there's a stiff wind blowing
[22:57] ---
    I'll always be looking ahead, eyes wide open
[23:03] ---
    If you ever feel like crying, remember
[23:11] ---
    The promise we silently swore to one another
[23:17] ---
    The song of a fledgling taking wing
[23:23] ---
    Even now, still unable to fly well
[23:29] ---
    But over time that comes and goes
[23:34] ---
    Single-mindedly
[23:37] ---
    Following those joined hands
[23:40] ---
    "So I never let you go!!" Those words
[23:46] ---
    Even if they only vanish into the sky
[23:52] ---
    Inside the scattering lights
[23:58] ---
    Unwaveringly
[24:00] ---
    I know I can find you
[24:08] ---
    "Preview"
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Eureka Seven AO.
[24:15] ---
    Mother-and-son time comes
    unexpectedly aboard the Gekko.
[24:19] ---
    Ao feels bewildered by
    Eureka's ingenuous demeanor.
[24:22] ---
    The new truth that she makes known
