**[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] ---**
