[00:16] ---
    You're my old man?
[00:23] ---
    Please let me go, Chief!
[00:25] ---
    I'd made up my mind!
    That I'd punch him real good!
[00:28] ---
    My name is Ivica.
[00:30] ---
    Your wife... Eureka once saved my life.
[00:36] ---
    What kind of situation do you
    believe Eureka to be in right now?
[00:42] ---
    Do you know what the anthropic principle is?
[00:52] ---
    The theory that reality is transformed
    by the desires of intelligent observers.
[00:57] ---
    Is it that sci-fi concept to
    which you are referring?
[01:00] ---
    The Scub Corals are also a
    collective of intelligent beings.
[01:04] ---
    They escaped the Question Limitation
[01:06] ---
    and acquired the means to travel
    from our universe to another universe.
[01:13] ---
    A substance called Quartz.
[01:15] ---
    Another universe?
[01:17] ---
    Not the future, but another universe?
[01:20] ---
    Being a Coralian herself,
[01:23] ---
    Eureka must have Quartzified herself
[01:25] ---
    and guided the dangerous
    Quartz somewhere else.
[01:30] ---
    She must have only wished for a
    time and place that was not here.
[01:35] ---
    Which is why she has been
    unable to arrive anywhere,
[01:37] ---
    unable to even materialize...
[01:41] ---
    Can't you do something about it?
[01:42] ---
    That's what you came here for, right?
[01:44] ---
    You came to save Anma, right?
[01:47] ---
    And that's also why you
    destroyed the Scub, right?!
[01:51] ---
    The power of the Quartz Gun...
[01:53] ---
    ...has already been reported to
    have the potential to affect events.
[01:59] ---
    However...
[02:00] ---
    As you can see...
[02:02] ---
    The Quartz Gun is a mass of Quartz
[02:05] ---
    that has taken the shape of a weapon.
[02:09] ---
    That's right.
[02:10] ---
    With that, we can change
    both time and the world.
[02:13] ---
    We should be able to fire it
    at least one more time.
[02:17] ---
    You'd been looking for it, too, right?
[02:19] ---
    "Eureka Seven AO"
[02:41] ---
    So, Eureka gave birth to Ao on this island...
[02:50] ---
    Thank you for everything.
[02:53] ---
    It's been ten years since Anma disappeared.
[02:56] ---
    Where have you been all this time?
    What have you been doing?
[02:59] ---
    Ten years? I see.
[03:02] ---
    No wonder you're so big.
[03:07] ---
    For me, it was just the other day...
[03:10] ---
    ...that I sent Eureka over.
[03:13] ---
    Just the other day?
[03:16] ---
    Mr. Thurston.
[03:18] ---
    What in the world do you mean by that?
[03:20] ---
    Ao.
[03:23] ---
    Do you like soccer?
[03:27] ---
    There's no guarantee
[03:29] ---
    that this man who appeared earlier
    doesn't represent some new threat.
[03:32] ---
    We ought to strengthen
    our surveillance measures.
[03:35] ---
    He's Ao's father and
    Eureka's husband, you know.
[03:40] ---
    Eureka and the Gekko came
    over here before, right?
[03:44] ---
    That's how we learned
[03:46] ---
    that the Scubs that came to this
    universe were traveling into the past.
[03:51] ---
    From the distant future of this universe's Earth
[03:54] ---
    into the innumerable pasts.
[04:08] ---
    Quartz open doorways to parallel universes.
[04:12] ---
    Having determined that to be a threat,
[04:16] ---
    this universe automatically
    produced the Secrets.
[04:33] ---
    In order to survive,
[04:34] ---
    the Scub Corals sought a place
    where there were no Secrets...
[04:38] ---
    They yearned to travel to this planet's past.
[04:52] ---
    But the Secrets came through the
    holes in time that the Scubs opened
[04:57] ---
    and pursued them.
[04:59] ---
    That was the beginning of
    the history of Scub Bursts.
[05:14] ---
    In the future, mankind had ceased to exist.
[05:17] ---
    Because of Scub Bursts.
[05:20] ---
    And the Secrets...
[05:22] ---
    ...even perceived us to be threats and attacked.
[05:47] ---
    Don't let your guard down, Eureka!
[06:05] ---
    Renton?
[06:06] ---
    Eureka, you follow the Scubs' pillar
    of light and go to another time!
[06:12] ---
    Somewhere with as low levels
    of trapars as possible.
[06:15] ---
    What do you plan to do, Renton?
[06:17] ---
    I'll wipe out the Scubs here.
[06:19] ---
    If I don't...
[06:20] ---
    Then I'll also...!
[06:21] ---
    I don't want to make you kill the Scubs!
[06:27] ---
    Go.
[06:35] ---
    Renton... Renton!
[06:37] ---
    Renton! Renton!
[06:39] ---
    Renton! Renton! Renton!
[06:42] ---
    Renton!
[06:45] ---
    In the distant past, Eureka gave birth to you
[06:49] ---
    and tried to protect you.
[06:55] ---
    Renton...
[06:56] ---
    No, Dad.
[06:58] ---
    Why are you guys going to such
    lengths to wipe out the Scubs?
[07:03] ---
    It's our responsibility as adults.
[07:05] ---
    Responsibility as adults?
[07:07] ---
    Once, we fought to protect the Scub Corals.
[07:12] ---
    I see. Naru said that Anma
    was the same as the Scubs...
[07:16] ---
    But that makes even less sense, so why?
[07:19] ---
    Because we protected them,
[07:21] ---
    this phenomenon called "Scub Bursts"
    now happens in this universe!
[07:24] ---
    We're responsible for that!
[07:27] ---
    Ao!
[07:28] ---
    Mr. Thurston.
[07:31] ---
    Ao!
[07:33] ---
    I'm going back!
[07:34] ---
    To the future 10,000 years from now.
[07:38] ---
    What?
[07:39] ---
    Oh, wait!
[07:40] ---
    Hey, hold on!
[07:43] ---
    Why?!
[07:44] ---
    You're just going to leave Anma like that?!
[07:53] ---
    Gramps.
[07:57] ---
    We're going, Nirvash!
[07:59] ---
    To finish it all!
[08:21] ---
    Gramps, I still have to go.
[08:24] ---
    What?!
[08:25] ---
    Because even then, I think Dad's wrong.
[08:47] ---
    Ao.
[08:49] ---
    You fly well.
[08:58] ---
    Ao, I'm sorry.
[09:00] ---
    Don't apologize.
[09:01] ---
    You're an adult. Don't do things
    that need apologizing to kids!
[09:05] ---
    I'm taking this gun and using it.
[09:07] ---
    With this gun,
[09:09] ---
    I'll shoot the first Scub Coral
    that appeared on this Earth.
[09:12] ---
    That will make it so that the Scub
    Corals never existed in this universe
[09:15] ---
    all the way from the future to the past.
[09:19] ---
    Ao, I want to restore this
    universe to its rightful state!
[09:26] ---
    That thing... can only be... fired one more time!
[09:30] ---
    What about Anma?!
[09:31] ---
    Eureka is prepared for this, too!
[09:47] ---
    It's no use! I can't shake them!
[09:50] ---
    Are you ready, Ao?
[09:52] ---
    We're firing back!
[10:02] ---
    Those maneuvers...
[10:03] ---
    Impossible!
[10:05] ---
    The Neo shouldn't have an Archetype!
[10:07] ---
    Ow...
[10:08] ---
    That was good, Ao. Moving on!
[10:10] ---
    So why the hell am I hearing Truth's voice?
[10:15] ---
    What are you saying?
[10:17] ---
    I've been here with you for
    a long time now, remember?
[10:20] ---
    What?
[10:21] ---
    As Archetypes, it is our desire to
    serve the LFO pilots who need us.
[10:28] ---
    Come on, Ao.
[10:30] ---
    What are your orders?
[10:32] ---
    Archetype...
[10:34] ---
    I see.
[10:36] ---
    So, Truth was a Secret, but in this world
    after the Quartz Gun was fired,
[10:40] ---
    he now exists as an Archetype.
[10:44] ---
    Truth, is this the one and only truth?
[10:48] ---
    Or is this the truth that you wished for?
[10:51] ---
    What are you muttering about, Ao?
[10:53] ---
    Incoming!
[10:56] ---
    Why?! Why does that unit have an Archetype?!
[11:06] ---
    Ao, get off that unit!
[11:09] ---
    There only needs to be one
    Nirvash with an Archetype!
[11:11] ---
    All we need is the original one!
[11:14] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[11:14] ---
    Who the hell decided that?!
[11:19] ---
    Crap!
[11:24] ---
    The Quartz Gun!
[11:27] ---
    Darn it! Nasty piece of...!
[11:43] ---
    Don't get in my way, Ao!
[11:45] ---
    I heard from Gramps just earlier.
[11:46] ---
    What?!
[11:48] ---
    About my big sister!
[11:51] ---
    You asked me once if you had a big sister.
[11:56] ---
    Why are you bringing that up now?
[11:58] ---
    Eureka told me...
[12:01] ---
    ...that three months after she was born,
    she turned as hard as stone and died.
[12:07] ---
    Children born to a human and a Coralian
[12:09] ---
    find their cells rejecting one another
    when trapar concentrations are high,
[12:14] ---
    and they turn hard, like when corals die...
[12:19] ---
    So for your second child,
[12:21] ---
    you decided to raise it in
    a world with no trapars.
[12:25] ---
    You chose this universe, this Earth,
    that Anma had stumbled across.
[12:31] ---
    But there were Scub Corals here, too.
[12:35] ---
    So you sought to wipe them out.
[12:38] ---
    Thank you, Dad.
[12:41] ---
    For going to such lengths
    to try to keep me alive.
[12:46] ---
    Thank you.
[12:47] ---
    Fleur!
[12:49] ---
    But...
[12:51] ---
    You can't!
[12:53] ---
    I have a friend I care about a lot.
[12:55] ---
    And this friend is a Coral Carrier.
[12:58] ---
    She lives symbiotically with the Scubs!
[13:06] ---
    If it becomes so that the Scubs
    never existed in this world,
[13:10] ---
    what will happen to Naru and all the others?!
[13:13] ---
    What about them?!
[13:14] ---
    If they've become one with the Scubs,
[13:16] ---
    it's possible that they'll vanish along with them!
[13:23] ---
    But you know, Ao--
[13:24] ---
    So you made a mistake.
[13:26] ---
    But making it like it never happened?
    Is that all that matters?!
[13:33] ---
    A man named Blanc told me...
[13:35] ---
    ...that I should figure out what's right.
[13:37] ---
    I thought that meant
[13:39] ---
    figuring out who our real enemies
    were instead of the Secrets.
[13:42] ---
    But that wasn't it.
[13:44] ---
    Even if I figured that out,
    we'd only have ended up fighting.
[13:48] ---
    Ao, listen to me. With your body, this planet--
[13:51] ---
    I grew up on this planet!
[13:54] ---
    We children also have our lives
    that we've lived up until now!
[13:59] ---
    I don't want to turn my back on that.
[14:01] ---
    I don't want to forget it all just
    for the convenience of humanity!
[14:08] ---
    Ao!
[14:24] ---
    The Pole Light of Okinawa...
[14:29] ---
    Dad came out of there...
[14:36] ---
    Ao, what do you mean to do?!
[14:39] ---
    Ao, you're not going into
    the Pole Light, are you?
[14:42] ---
    You're planning to go save
    your mother, aren't you?
[14:46] ---
    Why?
[14:48] ---
    You said it, remember?
[14:49] ---
    That we're family?
[14:51] ---
    But you'd still choose your real family over us?!
[14:55] ---
    Was that all just talk?!
[14:57] ---
    That's not it, Fleur.
[14:59] ---
    I'm going to put an end to it all.
[15:02] ---
    I'll save Anma and...
[15:06] ---
    And?
[15:08] ---
    And...
[15:15] ---
    You're an idiot...
[15:16] ---
    Taking it all on yourself...
[15:19] ---
    You're an idiot!
[15:20] ---
    You're a huge idiot, Ao!
[15:34] ---
    The Quartz will resonate to the
    desires of an intelligent life form.
[15:37] ---
    I see.
[15:39] ---
    Quartz!
[15:40] ---
    To the Burst ten years ago.
[15:42] ---
    To where Anma is!
[15:46] ---
    It's no use.
[15:48] ---
    I have no choice but to take it away.
[15:53] ---
    Ao, I'm sorry!
[16:05] ---
    Ao...
[16:07] ---
    It's you, isn't it, Ao?!
[16:12] ---
    How did you know that I was Ao?
[16:15] ---
    I mean, I should still only
    be two years old right now.
[16:18] ---
    You dummy.
[16:19] ---
    You told me before, remember?
[16:21] ---
    What?
[16:22] ---
    When I strayed into this era with the Gekko,
[16:26] ---
    your Nirvash appeared and pulled
    me back to where I came from.
[16:33] ---
    That Nirvash... was me?!
[16:38] ---
    You came for me, Renton!
[16:41] ---
    Anma.
[16:42] ---
    What? Ao?
[16:45] ---
    Why? I thought you were over there just now...
[16:48] ---
    And "Anma"?
[16:50] ---
    "Anma" means "mother."
[16:54] ---
    I am your son.
[16:56] ---
    Thank you.
[16:57] ---
    And goodbye.
[17:08] ---
    I've come back.
[17:11] ---
    Thank you, Ao!
[17:15] ---
    I understood then that I was
    going to give birth to you.
[17:19] ---
    That someday, I'd have a child named Ao.
[17:22] ---
    That's why Dad knew my name...
[17:24] ---
    Honestly, why didn't you tell me then?
[17:28] ---
    You wouldn't have believed
    me even if I did, right?
[17:30] ---
    Besides, the one inside you was Sis...
[17:35] ---
    I see, so you know about that, too.
[17:55] ---
    Renton!
[17:57] ---
    Go with Dad, Anma.
[18:00] ---
    I can't! If I leave the Quartz here like this...
[18:03] ---
    It must have been hard for you, Anma.
[18:04] ---
    What?
[18:05] ---
    Fighting and killing your fellow Scubs...
[18:10] ---
    All for me.
[18:13] ---
    That's not true!
[18:14] ---
    Someone once told me
[18:16] ---
    that my falling in love with Renton
    and my wanting children...
[18:19] ---
    That it was all me being selfish.
[18:22] ---
    That's why... That's why it's
    our responsibility, to the very end.
[18:25] ---
    For that, you have to
    sacrifice things, sacrifice people...
[18:30] ---
    Be free of that curse.
[18:34] ---
    Because that's probably
    the reason why I was born.
[18:39] ---
    Ao...
[18:43] ---
    If it was for you,
[18:45] ---
    it wouldn't have been a hardship.
[18:48] ---
    What are you doing, Renton?
    Don't cry in front of Ao.
[19:05] ---
    Thank you. Mom. Dad.
[19:09] ---
    I... We'll manage somehow in this world.
[19:18] ---
    So at the very least,
    I need to send you two back.
[19:24] ---
    Back to your home.
[19:31] ---
    How long will my body last?
[19:34] ---
    No one can know that.
[19:37] ---
    But I'll have faith
[19:40] ---
    in the future that will be chosen
    and achieved by the people
[19:43] ---
    of this era and on this planet
    that you, Mom and Dad,
[19:47] ---
    chose for me!
[20:26] ---
    What's with this thing?
[20:28] ---
    "Eureka" "Renton"
[20:28] ---
    It's embarrassing. Sheesh.
[20:31] ---
    This is who my parents are?
[20:33] ---
    But I'm glad.
[20:35] ---
    They both made it back to their home.
[21:02] ---
    "Episode 24: The Door into Summer"
[21:18] ---
    Truth, where have we popped out this time?
[21:21] ---
    I don't know.
[21:23] ---
    I'm looking into it now.
[21:24] ---
    Please do.
[21:27] ---
    I've confirmed it. It's the year 2027.
[21:30] ---
    What?
[21:32] ---
    It's the year 2027.
[21:35] ---
    So we've come back?
[21:37] ---
    Come back? What are you saying?
[21:40] ---
    You changed the world three
    times with the Quartz Gun.
[21:44] ---
    "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan"
[21:45] ---
    This world is no longer the world that you knew.
[21:47] ---
    "United Okinawa State Department"
[21:49] ---
    Ao Fukai may no longer exist.
[21:53] ---
    If so, you'll exist in no one's memories.
[21:57] ---
    Having saved your mother,
    bid her farewell forever,
[22:00] ---
    and wandered through time for a long period,
[22:04] ---
    it may seem cruel, but...
[22:07] ---
    Even if that's true, I'm fine with it.
[22:09] ---
    In a strange place,
[22:11] ---
    she gave birth to me all by herself.
[22:13] ---
    Compared to Anma, who fought
    alone to keep me alive,
[22:17] ---
    this is nothing.
[22:22] ---
    What do you plan to do, Truth?
[22:24] ---
    I still haven't seen enough of this world.
[22:27] ---
    I see. So you're going?
[22:30] ---
    Yeah. This is goodbye.
[22:34] ---
    So long.
[22:35] ---
    I'll see you again someday, somewhere...
[22:38] ---
    This uncertain world of mine now
[22:43] ---
    Begins to change and expand
    in the blink of an eye
[23:00] ---
    Where is the rest of the dream
    that I found that day?
[23:06] ---
    Just watch, I'll find it soon enough
[23:11] ---
    Even now, I alone remember
[23:17] ---
    The familiar old warmth
[23:22] ---
    So, shall I get going now?
[23:27] ---
    The fate awaiting me
[23:33] ---
    Frightened and paralyzed me
[23:38] ---
    To never be lost ever again
[23:43] ---
    I'll grow stronger
[23:46] ---
    Even the past I can never return to
[23:52] ---
    I'll build upon, starting tomorrow
[23:57] ---
    That's what I'll do to overcome it all
[24:03] ---
    And that's how I'll become me
[24:07] ---
