This is the story of a small young girl with a big, broad heart

who lives on a small, small planet called "Earth"

in the middle of the great vastness of space.

You don't have to worry, worry; I want to protect you

from everything that causes you pain.

Opening Theme: "I Want to Protect You" by Yumi Matsutouya

Don't forget the way your eyes were

On the day that we first exchanged words

They wrapped my half-hearted self

In a brilliant shine.

That distant summer, we held our breath to catch dragonflies

Chase after your dreams again with that feeling!

You don't have to worry, worry; I want to protect you

From all the things that cause you pain

'Cause I love you, 'Cause I love you

Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi

SCHOOL IN THE CROSSHAIRS

(Girls greeting each other)

Good morning!

Hey, wait for me!

Good morning!

- Hey, can you see anything? - I can't really tell...

- But it's exciting! - Yeah!

Hey, you!!

- Whadda you want? - What are you doing?

We're just sittin' here.

Liar, I've been watching! To think kids are doing this...!

- Hey hey, don't get all wound up! - Yeah, it's just our "panty test!"

- You wanna look too, right? - Whaaaat?

What are you so mad at?

- Oh, Yuka! - Good morning!

- Listen, these kids... - Let's go, see ya!

- Hey, get back here! Wait! - Goodbye.

Geez, kids these days...!

But Seki, you're still a kid too!

Whaaat?

Don't get mad! But I understand why you're upset.

Today's the start of a new term.

Oh, your button came off!

But what a miracle that you passed last term!

Your math score was awful.

Even though I showed you the answers on the exam,

you still did terribly!

Ah, if only it were a panty test!

- Huh? A what test? - Don't ask.

- Good morning! - Good morning.

Anyway, starting tomorrow, use the crosswalk and not the bridge.

Ehh, that's the long way around. How come?

There's perverts around.

- Ehh? How could that be? - It's true!

- Look, just don't use the bridge. - Weirdo.

Yuka, good morning! Did you have a good break?

Yes!

Let's go!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Come on!

Let's go!

- Hey, lemme go first! - No way, get outta here!

It'd just be wasted on you guys!

Yum!

You're telling me the students can't go to the kendo match

because it'll impede their studies!?

N-no, what I mean is that as a famously distinguished school,

we can't go against the PTA...

What?

Isn't it said that "a sound mind resides in a sound body"!?

Don't you have to have a sound body to take an exam, too!?

Listen to me, dammit!

O-OK, I'll think it over!

Right now, I'm too busy handling the demolition of the old school building.

You need to take the initiative since you are the leader.

- And as teachers, we'll do our best to help. - Thank you.

- Thank you, sir. - All right.

Mr. Yamagata,

The principal wants to cut all the club activities and focus just on studying.

And you too, right?

Our Daiichi School has a well-established pedigree. Try not to be too hard on us.

Otherwise the students who are only good in Physical Education

will neglect to study and we'll end up with bad students.

We even have some already.

Good morning, Teacher!

Stand!

Bow!

Good morning, Teacher...

Be seated.

It's a new school year now. You've all become second-year students.

But before I start the class, I feel I should tell you...

I've been teaching this class for a year,

but I'm quite disappointed...

The student with the highest grades of the school is in this class,

but the 5 worst students are in here too,

and our class has the worst grades of the year.

Teacher!

What is it, Arikawa?

Please name the worst five students!

- What!? - Why!?

In order to protect their names, I think it would be better not to.

Then who's the one with the best results?

That's obvious, it's Yuka Mitamura!

Hey, at least you got that right!

She's amazing!

Right on!

It ain't you, eh!

Quiet down. Quiet!

Since it's an achievement for our class, I'll announce it.

The top student is indeed Mitamura!

Hey, Arikawa, how about that!?

Shut up!!

Teacher, just for reference

how come I wasn't number one?

Well, your English and Math grades really are better than Mitamura,

but Phys. Ed. is terrible.

Oh, that's fine. I've never cared about Physical Education anyway.

I agree it has nothing to do with exams.

Correct. That's why I don't feel any regret.

Unlike those who are only good in Phys. Ed. but fail everything else!

Are you talking about us!?

I didn't SAY that...

- What are you talking about!? - Arrogant bastard!

Damned bookworm!

Good-for-nothing!

Everyone, quiet down. We're still in class!

Sorry! My lips are zipped!

Teacher, I think everyone has thought it over

and will be working even harder this semester.

Is that so?

- Then I expect you to pull up your socks. - But teacher, some aren't wearing socks!

Well then, I take it back.

In that case, the girls can pull up your stockings.

Let's try harder this term. I'll start class.

We can't afford to lose to the other clubs.

You're right. And we have fewer members now.

Come on, let's go!

There are fewer people interested in kendo these days.

Everyone's so worked up about studying,

even though people like you will be fine even if you don't study.

With everyone studying all the- Huh? That's our car...!

Has your dad been called in?

But school just started...!

Maybe there's some problem with the kendo club?

- That's a shock... - It'll be fine, just remember to study.

- Or do you want to go find your dad? - Give me a break!

Geez!

ORIENTATION Club Recruitment

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Let's go! Let's go! Daiichi!

Boy! Come over here for a bit! Want to join the Kendo club?

You'll grow as tall as me in half a year!

- ...Really. - The kendo club never lies!

Wait! Next month there's a tournament! You could make it in if you join now!

I'd have to ask Mom...

Hey, you aren't a little kid!

You can decide for yourself!

Hey, freshman!

You better join up or we'll pester you!

- But...! - Come on, kid!

- Look, we even have a "mascot girl"! - Which one...?

She's beautiful, right?

- What's up? - This fellow wants to shake hands with you.

If you do it, you have to join!

OK! OK!

Just like mom...!

- Good bye! - Bye, see you tomorrow!

Bye-bye!

Sigh. In the end, only that momma's boy joined...

Don't worry about it.

If you all work hard, you'll be fine.

Oh no! Quick, go back!

What in the...?

Hey, what's wrong?

I...

Hm?

Just then, I...

What is it?

I was pretty surprised too!

Hey!

Yuka?

Welcome home!

Eh? You look pale!

Are you feeling poorly?

Yuka?

What's wrong?

Did something happen at school?

Yuka!

It's just a headache.

I'd like to be alone for now...

Then you'd better rest in bed.

"Go back!"

When I said that...

Why?

Michiko!

Good evening! How's Chousuke?

- Kouji's back! - Hello!

Brother's home!

He's back?

Kouji!

It's late! En guarde!

- Kendo practice? - Right.

Be careful today.

Your dad's blood pressure is up again.

Uh-oh.

Swashbuckling again?!

It's called "kendo", dad. I'm pretty good at it, too.

Whatever it is!

Today I got called into the school office. I was sweating buckets!

It's fine. Don't worry about my grades.

I'll just end up taking over our shop after graduation anyway.

That's no good!

You're going on to college!

That was your late mother's dream!

That's right. Mom would be upset.

You only have high grades in Phys. Ed. The other ones all look like birds' nests!

What do you mean, "birds' nests?"

All zeroes!

Like big fat goose eggs!

Oh, good one!

Jokes aside...

Kouji, the family business doesn't matter.

Put more effort into school, please.

Your dad would give anything to see you do well in school.

I feel useless. I dropped out after middle school!

A shame I can't be of help!

Nobody's worried about you!

More importantly, did you deliver Mitamura's beer yet?

Not yet, but I will! Madam, even this idiot has some use.

I can handle that much!

Boss, I think it's better to get a private tutor.

But would anyone take him on?

Sure, there's one close by! Ask Mitamura's daughter!

No way!

He's right. At this point we can't be picky.

We'll ask her to help Kouji. Our families go way back.

Great idea!

Tell them we'll take it off their tab!

Let's strike while the iron's hot. I'll go right now!

- I'm off. - Wonderful!

- Thanks for your help! - Ma'am...

- Wrap this up for me? - OK.

- Pan-paka-pa-pa-pa! - Charge!

Give me a break!

Feeling better?

Mom, do I seem different?

Does my face look okay?

A bit pale, but fine.

Why do you ask?

Today, I...

Well?

What happened?

Mom, do you have telepathy?

Telepathy?

You mean like a sixth sense?

Well...

Your father is always telling me "you're a little slow".

So I suppose so.

Why do you ask?

Yuka, did something happen at school?

It's just...

Mom, the beer is here!

Hello, it's Seki from the liquor store!

I've brought your beer order!

Thank you very much.

You're looking lovely as always, ma'am.

Actually, I have a request...

- We hope your daughter can teach our son. - Yes, Hello?

- Do you think she could help him? - Ah, Kouji!

Of course she could!

- Yes, he just arrived. - If it's your daughter, there's no doubt!

- I think Kouji would be very happy, too. - Home tutoring?

I have no idea what my folks are thinking. The kendo match is coming up soon too.

And what about today's incident? I suppose it must have been coincidence.

The driver must have hit reverse real fast. You ran away so fast it made me worried!

Anyway, please tell my folks you won't tutor me.

OK, I'll think it over.

Goodbye.

Arikawa!

This term I won't lose! I found a great tutoring school. It's a secret one, though.

Welcome!

- Oh, young miss! - Good morning.

Boss, she's here!

Oh, teacher!

Please make yourself welcome! Come right in!

Please, don't call me "teacher!"

While you're here, you're our teacher, right?

After you.

Well! Well, well, well, I haven't seen you in so long!

You've turned into a right young lady!

My brother's upstairs!

He's resting after swashbuckling practice.

I'll go make some tea and bring it right up.

Oh, don't bother. I don't want him to get distracted.

It's me, Yuka.

- Bet you're mad! - Duh! Why didn't you refuse?

You tricked me.

Thanks to that, I can't go to kendo practice.

Wait, hey. What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - You'd better get out fast.

- The practice is about to start! - Eh?

Kendo practice! What are you waiting for?

You honor-roll students can come up with anything!

- Feel free to thank me! - Yeah, yeah.

Chousuke!

Be careful!

Don't worry.

- Oh, Kouji! Headed out? - Yep.

Come right back after practice!

Nice job!

Here!

YOU'RE LAAAATE!!

- Sorry, I... - Shut it! Hurry up and get dressed!

As the new captain, you need to take the lead!

- Five laps as punishment! - Yes, sir!

Hey, Seki!

Pay attention to training, not him!

Sorry!

OK, practice head strikes!

Good luck.

Delicious!

"Kouji Seki"...

Oh right, the button...!

Hey, c'mon!

- Kouji, do it! - Ow!

Come on, Kouji!

Awful! You won't beat Jounan High with that!

- Stand up! - Damn it!

Back at it!

Kouji; Teacher!

I brought lunch.

Thank you!

- Ah, he's still studying right now. - Oh, sorry to disturb you!

Mom, how's Kouji doing?

I took him some eel. He's hard at work!

She must be a great tutor!

I want a tutor. Then I can eat eel too!

Hey, you've drunk enough! No more!

Hey!

Yuka!

- Welcome back, Kouji! - Thanks.

Sorry, we ran late.

Hurry up!

Change back into this!

I'm parched.

Kouji! You scamp!

Bump! Thud!

What's all that noise about?

All right.

OK!

Let's cool off the fresh barley tea.

It's been three weeks since... Kouji's practice has been going smoothly.

As for me, nothing strange has happened again since.

Bend... Bend... Bend...

Ah, the first star!

Tomorrow is the match with Jounan High School.

Kouji, do your best!

The cheer squad is treating us, so eat up!

If we win again, I bet we'll get steak!

I'll have to do my best. You guys have to be strong too.

Those Jonan guys are sure scared of Seki.

- Totally! - Right, right!

It's all in my savage stare!

Give me your best!

Well, you can't say it ain't something...

That's the captain for ya. I'm almost afraid myself!

When you whacked him, I was...

Hey, it's Arikawa!

Morons.

Well, that just sucked the fun outta me, right there.

What's up?

Thanks for the food.

Sorry, I'm feeling poorly. I'll go on back first.

- I'll take you. - No, that's OK.

Yuka, are you OK?

She's gone...

Yuka, climb in.

- Who are you? - Please, get in.

I was pulled by a strange force and climbed in the car. But who is this man?

You did a good job today.

Eh?

You made Seki win, right?

How do you know?

I do.

After all, we're comrades.

Comrades?

I've been watching over you for a long time.

And haven't you been calling for me?

I know very well.

See?

If you join with me

then, as a brilliant psychic,

you could even conquer the whole world.

I... I don't quite understand.

Please let me consider for a while.

Just who is this man?

It feels as though I've known him for a long time...

Don't you want some cheesecake? You've always loved it.

No thanks.

What's wrong? You look down. Are you not feeling well?

I'm OK. Goodnight.

Honey...

Do you think she's fallen in love with someone?

- Is that what it is? - It seems that way!

Kouji from the liquor store?

No, it's someone else.

She's never acted like this before.

She's been sighing all over the place. It's unusual.

"La mélancolie de la puberté."

Huh?

The melancholy of youth.

I wonder...

Everyone's the same as usual.

Every day goes by without notice.

But inside of me, something has changed slightly.

Yuka!

You've been bummed out lately. What's going on with you?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Why don't you just try telling me?

Do you remember the boy on the tricycle? He almost got hit by that dump truck.

Oh, that time.

- What's up? - Come skate with us!

That was my doing.

No way.

And when we won the kendo match, that too...

What are you talking about? That was my skill!

What on earth are you talking about?

- I said you wouldn't believe me. - Obviously!

- Really? - Yuka, what's the matter with you?

I have a bad feeling.

It's very unsettling.

But... what is it?

- Good morning! - Good morning!

Can you see anything?

- Special favor! - Whoa!

Oh, wow!!

Here comes another!

Hey, I can't see!

What's going on!?

It hurts! What's happening?

Good morning!

What are you standing here for? Are those peeping kids back again?

Hey...

Yuka!

Ehh, let me introduce a new classmate.

Her name is Michiru Takamizawa.

She's transferred to our school all the way from Sapporo, Hokkaido.

Hello, I'm Michiru Takamizawa.

Whoa!

She's beautiful!

Look over here!

Hey, look over here!

Stop that! You're being rude!

He's quite right. Let's give her a warm welcome.

Oh no, I think this is a wonderful class. Just slightly ill-mannered.

Tomoda. Takemura.

Wow, you already learned their names?

Amamiya, Iguchi.

And the top student, Yuka Mitamura.

Everyone, let's get along well.

My pleasure!

We'll get on fine!

Teacher. Teacher!

Isn't it about time to elect a new class representative?

- Hi, I'm Murase! - No, you're a pervert.

That's right. We've got this semester's syllabus worked out

so I suppose we should have an election, too.

If I may...

As I will be running for student counsel, I won't be able to be the class rep.

Nobody knows who you are, so I doubt you'd get elected.

- Yeah, but she's cute! - Yeah!

I believe the best choices for class rep would be Mitamura and Arikawa.

But I would strongly support Arikawa.

- Don't joke around! - He won't even run!

- Just drop out, jerk! - We all hate you!

- Let's just do a majority vote! - Yeah! Yeah!

Arikawa.

Arikawa

Mitamura.

Arikawa

Mitamura

Arikawa.

- Arikawa. - Arikawa

Seki!

Mitamura.

Mitamura.

Mitamura.

- Mitamura! Mitamura! - Mitamura!

- Mitamura! Mitamura! - Mitamura!

F-Fine... The class rep is M-Mitamura!

All right!

- Woohoo! - Serves you right!

- Congrats, Yuka! - Great job!

As I thought, it was you who voted for me.

And it was my only vote, too!

Who gives a hoot? We all knew Yuka would be the rep anyway!

Undoubtedly!

But Yuka, you seem quiet today.

You do look a bit depressed.

I think I'll resign as class rep.

Why?

I just don't have the confidence.

Yuka, what are you talking about? We'll support you all the way!

That's right!

That was a brilliant loss for you, there. This school is beyond your grasp.

I came here to back you up, but at this rate it's useless.

- Exactly what have you been practicing for? - I'm so sorry...

Well, never mind.

That Yuka Mitamura is nowhere near enough to match me.

I'll have to teach her a lesson.

In other words, what I like most about Daiichi High is the tradition of freedom.

However, in the mad rush of examinations, our humanity is being slowly eroded.

Hear, hear!

Therefore, as candidate for president, I'll help bring back our spirit of freedom!

Bravo! Bravo!

Quiet down.

Be quiet! Silence!

What is "freedom?"

What you call "freedom" is simply selfishness.

Just look at what's become of this school.

It's filled with delinquents and pranksters.

What do you think of this school, whose own students won't even keep order?

This has happened because you lack discipline.

Exactly! She's right!

The reason I am standing for election is I desire to return order to this school.

PSYCHIC MYSTERIES

Hey, whatcha studying?

Ah, let's go.

- What did you think of Takamizawa? - In what way?

What she said is correct, with no room for complaint.

But is this OK?

I have a feeling that something unprecedented is about to happen.

If, somehow, you could control people just by using your thoughts,

in order to make everyone listen to you... Just the thought is scary.

Man, I'm telling you.

That Takamizawa is something else!

She can get even the worst students to listen to her!

Really?

I'm absolutely thrilled to have such a wonderful student in my class.

Mr. Yamagata! I'm sure Takamizawa would excel at sports, too!

We won't know until she tries, right?

- And as for the student council president? - It's been decided for Takamizawa.

I'm sure the rowdy kids are up in arms already.

If our school had just one more student like her, there'd be hope for us yet.

She won 75% of the vote. A landslide victory.

Soon, I'll have my revenge... soon...

Everything is about to change...

- Why don't we stop by the bookstore? - Sure, then let's get tea!

Alright.

The student council wants to see you. You'd better go.

Campus Patrol? What's this?

A crackdown on disruptive students.

We'll select patrols from among the class reps here.

Groups of three, in uniform.

We will patrol the school during the afternoon and evening.

I don't think we need to go that far...

And the rest of you?

Ogawa?

I agree.

And all opposed?

Why Ouki, you too?

Er, I...

It seems the majority support us.

Now to establish the patrol guard.

- Mitamura, will you be the patrol leader? - I'm sorry, but I refuse.

- Why didn't you object to it? - That's right, after we all voted for you!

A patrol? I'll be the first one caught!

- I'll be right behind. - And me three!

Takamizawa is incredibly powerful.

When she looks at you, you can't help backing down.

But seriously, a patrol?

The faculty don't seem to have objections. Takamizawa is incredibly prepared.

She already made up the uniform designs, and made lists of banned items, too.

The PTA will probably jump all over it, too!

- This has made me lose my appetite. - Well, give it to me then!

You got a few screws loose or something?

- Read the mood, dammit. - Shut up!

I wouldn't worry. They'll get tired of playing policeman soon enough.

I hope so...

but I don't think Takamizawa is just playing around.

There's some force behind her...

What is it?

It scares me.

Here he is!

- What are you doing? - H-hey, stop that!

Rules breach!!

Aaaaa! What are you doing!?

What do you want?

Let me go!!

Stop it!

Hey, careful!

- Hey, cut that out! - Get off me, you bastard!

S-Stop, please!

Let go of me! What is this!?

- Be quiet! Stop struggling! - I told you to get off me!

- Piss off! - Get over here!

Don't try to run!

Hey! What the hell!?

Let go of me!

A perfect lemon... hey! Go away!

What do you want?

Let go of her!

Cut it out, jerk!

Don't mess around with us!

Just seeing this uniform pisses me off!!

Catch them! Don't let 'em go!

Be quiet!

Do you know what happens to those who oppose us?

Damn, I won't let you just do as you please!

Oh... ow! My head hurts...?

Nice lemon.

Calm down.

Be quiet.

How uncouth!

Tonight, I'll take you to a special class.

It's the Eiko Academy!

Eiko Academy is the centre of the universe. It has the power to change this world!

However, this academy must be a total secret.

If you tell anyone about it, then consider your lives forfeit.

There's no need to be scared. Just follow me silently.

You have been chosen.

At the Eiko Academy, you will be reborn.

Oh, your son is going to the Academy, too?

Yes, thanks to Arikawa!

My kids, too!

They never used to listen to us before, but now they're the perfect angels!

It's not only their study habits. They've become less violent as well.

You're completely right!

Kouji, can't you help out with the store, or at least do some studying?

Everyone's saying their kids are at a private cram school.

It might cost a bit to attend, but I can manage to afford it.

You should go, too!

Even so, it's not like just anyone's allowed to waltz in there off the street.

Anyway, dad, give me my jacket back.

- Kouji, you...! - And my hat, too!

I'm not going to the academy.

I have enough as it is.

The patrol has been wonderful!

The students have become much calmer, and their exam grades have risen as well.

Except for gym class!

So? The parents have been thanking us in droves.

The patrol's no good. Better to disband it.

But the students started it themselves.

It's not good to split the students into police and criminals.

- Those being counseled are bad students. - That will only escalate the matter!

So if it's in the name of "justice", we can just do anything?

What does that mean?

In other words!

It's a war!

Fascism!

In other words, if the patrol continues

students will no longer trust each other, and will view each other as enemies.

Then, the dictator mobilizes the patrol...

What's wrong?

Mr. Yamagata, what's the matter?

Are you tired? Maybe you'd better get some rest.

No, I...

Takamizawa!!

Are you all right?

Mom...

What is it?

Hello?

Just a minute.

Yuka, it's Kouji.

Yuka, Mr. Yamagata's boarding house called. They said he's been taken to the hospital.

I'm not feeling up to studying much today. We should all go and visit him in hospital.

You should come too.

What is it?

Mr. Yamagata's been in an accident.

But that's...

Nomura's late again!

Is something holding him up?

Excuse me. Do you know where Mr. Yamagata is?

You must be his students. He was sent to the recovery room after the operation.

A few students are already there.

- Thank you very much! - Take care.

Nomura beat us here.

He should have told us!

- Seki! Mitamura!! - Ms. Takakura!

The school just called me. How is Mr. Yamagata?

- Takamizawa!? - He hasn't regained consciousness yet.

- There's no point going in. - Why are YOU here?

I have the director's permission. You had better leave now.

We want to see Mr. Yamagata too.

- You're a tyrant! - I see, now.

Hey! Hey, wait!

I said wait! Open this door!

Torahiko! Torahiko!!

[In English] I Love You!

Open the door please!

I love you! Open the door, please!

Nomura...!

Oh no!

Are you off? Here's your lunch.

It's awful about Mr. Yamagata and Nomura. How are they now?

- Yuka!! - Murase...

What's wrong, Yuka?

Ow, that hurts!

Are you OK?

The hell was that... I can't take this anymore!

Wait...

Ms. Takakura!

I've decided... I will trust in my own abilities.

I don't know how or why...

But someone is targeting this school.

I will fight.

I believe that what I am doing is right.

I believe that God will lend me power as well.

Very good.

"And they do look out."

What does "look out" mean?

Yes, Okada.

- To watch out. - Is there any other way to say it?

- "Be careful." - Very good.

Kouji, I also want you to help. Please help me, OK?

- "Open the door." - "Open the door."

"Open the door, please...!"

- You must be Arikawa's mother? - Yes.

- Is Arikawa...? - He's at the Academy.

Where is the Academy?

He won't tell me.

He said he didn't want me to leak any information.

Studying is like warfare, you know? Then, excuse me.

Oh, would you like some?

No, thank you.

Yuka...

The day of judgement is near. Open your eyes!

Join hands with me!

Oh, Yuka...

My dear Yuka!

I have come to your door from far, far away!

We are calling out to each other as one soul!

You are my lover...

Now...

Come away with me!

Kouji, save me...

Yuka!!

My pajamas!

I shall return!

Hi, sleepy-head.

Oi, what's up?

No idea. I dreamed I got in a big fight. Now that I'm awake I hurt all over... ow!

The hell are you talking about? And you're wearing my boxers again.

Put on your damn pajama pants!

I thought we'd gotten a letter, but it's just an ad for a cram school.

"Eiko Academy"? Hmm.

Yuka hardly needs any study help, though.

But she'll be a senior next year. She should think about graduation.

I don't think I can even imagine something so far in the future.

Just day to day...

That's fine. Living life from day to day and finding yourself.

"Repeated imperfection becomes perfect." Your Grandpa often told me this.

It means that by fighting hard and living each day,

then tomorrow you will have a fulfilling life.

Your mother and I believe in you. We have nothing to worry over.

I feel warmly loved.

Yes, to love someone is the same as to trust them.

I think I would very much like to learn that.

- Thank you. - Eh?

You protected me earlier.

- Here, I'll heal you. - What's that?

Close your eyes.

Yuka, somehow you have a motherly feel...

There, it won't hurt anymore.

Here.

- I'll count on you again, OK? - What are you talking about? Still asleep?

How is Mr. Yamagata?

You should worry about yourself instead.

You got the pamphlet for Eiko Academy, yes?

I am warning you today for the last time.

Become one of us. If you refuse, you won't live much longer.

- So says our leader. - I don't think that man is from this world.

You're in danger. You should leave the Eiko Academy.

You truly are hopeless.

I see I'm wasting my time. Goodbye.

Yuka, you know what's going on, don't you?

Mr. Yamagata and Nomura's accidents aren't a coincidence, are they?

And I don't believe Ms. Takakura hurt herself so badly on roller skates.

I think we should find that Academy. We can't ignore it anymore.

You can't, Kouji.

You say that, but you'll just end up going by yourself, right?

Yuka, I want to help you.

I don't look it but I'm psychic too.

But I can only tell things about you, Yuka.

Look out, Kouji!

Cheers!

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Yuka's 17 already...

I'm afraid it's nothing special since we had to rush to the hospital.

No, it looks wonderful.

Your sushi is my favorite!

- Thank goodness you weren't hurt badly. - Yes!

When Kouji called I was almost scared to death.

My heart is still racing!

Let me see!

Dear, not now!

Oh no?

I bought this present after talking with your father. We know you love art.

We didn't buy a painting, though. We want you to choose for yourself.

I'm eager to see what you'll choose.

Dad, Mom, thank you very much!

I love it.

Then, I'm off to bed.

Yes, you had a shock today. Go and rest early.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I feel that she's slowly drifting away from us.

I feel hopeful, but also slightly lonely...

No, don't go in!

I have come from the Evening Star... All this long way from Venus.

When darkness falls,

that star shines the brightest in the night sky.

It is the symbol of the universe's reason and intelligence!

I have come to save this filthy planet.

If I cannot bring about a world where the chosen ones

guide those others living with no sense of purpose,

then my ideal universe cannot be realized!

We have gathered many comrades at the Eiko Academy.

We shall grow even larger, and then...

we will change everything...!!

Damn, you bastard!

You think you can do as you please?

Foolish fellow!

You...!

All those who oppose me will become thus:

W--wha-h-hey, hey!

L-Leader, why me...?

I utterly detest useless fools such as you.

No way...

Now, your time has come!

You...!!

God...

Please lend me your strength.

Yuka...!

I've waited for you!

Yuka, stay there!

Please...

Please, save everyone.

You mustn't joke. Now, come with me!

I will not go.

To you, it may be worthless,

but I love the Earth as it is now. I love the people who live here, too.

If you say that, you will perish!

That does not matter to me.

Not even if I die.

But... please return my friends.

What nonsense!!

No, it is very important.

It is something more precious than my own life.

I don't need my own life, so please...

Stop it!

You mustn't use your great powers for such trifling matters!

Is it trifling to want to save people?

You're not human after all, are you?

I AM THE UNIVERSE!

I am a human being.

I will fight you.

I'll show you what happens if you defy me!

Uwah!

Damn it!

Yuka! Go back home. I'll stay here and...!

Kouji!

Don't move!

What is this...? What's happening!?

I have never met a human like you before!

I cannot understand you!

Don't give up!

Yuka, I'm with you!

It's my loss...

For now I shall return to my planet.

I shall return there and think carefully once more on your words...

And one day...

One day I shall return here without fail!

Arikawa!

Yuka, let's go!

Everyone, here! Let's hurry out!

Come, quick!

Let's go home. Let's go home. Let's go home...

Let's go home.

Welcome home, Michiru.

I'm back, Mother.

Welcome.

Hey, fireworks!

Bravo! Bravo!!

MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS APPEAR OVER SHINJUKU

STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY! CAUSE STILL UNCLEAR

(MISSING HIGH SCHOOL GIRL FOUND)

What a surprise, about Takamizawa. (MISSING HIGH SCHOOL GIRL FOUND)

She lost her memory and was being cared for in Hokkaido.

She disappeared from the hospital 3 months ago.

This time she's gone back to her real family in Hachiouji.

Sounds like it came outta a novel!

So she was enrolled here during the time she lost her memories.

It almost seems like some strange folk tale.

This is the end of the patrol, then.

- The student counsel's been broken up, too. - Broken up...

They'll have to elect a new one.

Even better.

Just like before, we'll have a childish, raucous student counsel again!

Wonderful!

Oh? It's Seki's father.

Mr. Yamagata! I heard you were badly hurt. Are you better already?

I'm just fine!

Thank you again, as always!

- I'll take this. - It was strange, though.

Suddenly, I felt fine.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the kendo match.

- Make sure Seki is ready! - O-Okay.

Point!

It's a sure win! Go on, Sasaki!

- Next up is Seki! Just like the last match! - Yes!

Daiichi School's Captain, Kouji Seki!

What's wrong, Seki?

Go get him! Go get him!

C'mon!

God...!

Halt!

Begin!

What? Go around!

God, please...

Point!

Hey Seki, you OK?

Anything wrong?

Hmmm, what a mess...!

Hey... are you upset?

Sorry.

I was praying with all my heart. But... why'd it end up like this?

I suppose I've gone back to normal.

But if I can live without that power, isn't it for the best?

In other words, everything is peaceful now.

And hey, if you'd kept winning in spite of your poor skill,

we'd end up in trouble!

Anyway, working every day to get stronger from your own power...

I like that side of you much more.

Because Kouji, you'll always come to rescue me.

So...

In other words...

- Heeey, say something! - "Something."

Dummy!

But man, that was super embarrassing.

Summer break will be awful. It'll be that demon Yamagata's training hell!

But maybe you'll win the fall tournament!

Even I've got psychic powers, right, Yuka? It all seems like just a story now.

The Eiko Academy once stood here...

The evening star!

Stars... there are so many of them up above the Earth.
