Are you there?

I can't move my body...

...the way I want it to.

Kazuki! Feel Fafner itself!

Unite with it!

Hey, Soshi, I wonder if we can hear it again.

Maybe.

My repair is perfect!

Again! Is that true?

Wait!

Are you there?

It's real after all!

Should we answer?

All right.

Here we go!

FAFNER

Episode One BEGINNING (Paradise)

Pottery store

I'm going.

Yeah...

Where's Maya?

She already left.

Morning practice for her club?

She said there is no practice today.

Then she must have gone to Hazama's house again.

Shoko.

Maya.

I'm here again...

Today... do you think you can go?

Hey... can I come in?

Please.

Yesterday, my mom scolded me after that.

Why?

"What are you going to do...

...if Maya is late because of you?" she said.

It's all right.

I can run. I had lots of time.

Don't worry about it.

Maya.

I'm glad. You look better than yesterday.

Thank you.

Then, Dad...

...I, Sakura Kaname...

...am going to school.

Have a good day.

How's Hazama?

Not quite ready yet.

I see.

But I'm sure she'll be better soon.

You're right!

Thank you.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Okikata Bookstore This! I'm counting on you.

It's an important book.

I understand.

Did you come back on this morning's boat, Soshi?

Yes.

I was late because I was inputting the report at CDC.

Good work.

I'm sure...

...you learned a lot.

Today's sunset seems to be a special color.

No. That's not it.

Okikata Bookstore Sorry. I couldn't see well.

Sorry. I couldn't see well.

Minashiro, I didn't know you came back.

Yeah. A little earlier.

Here.

Soshi! Welcome back!

Could that possibly be... the lovely and latest issue...

...I've been waiting for!?

Hey, Minashiro.

How was Tokyo?

Tokyo?

It was a fairly ordinary place.

You didn't meet any celebs?

Not at all.

How disappointing.

Where's Kazuki?

He went out with Kondo the moment class was over.

Soshi returned, didn't he?

I guess I can't visit your home anymore.

That's it for today.

- H-Hey! - Bye!

Wait a minute! Kazuki!

What was that feeling now?

Are you there?

Did they find us?

All right. Next.

A warning for the entire island has been issued. All right. Next.

A warning for the entire island has been issued. I'm Koyo Kasugai.

A warning for the entire island has been issued.

All island residents to evacuate to the shelters.

All island residents to evacuate to the shelters. Confirmed.

Koyo Kasugai Confirmed.

Koyo Kasugai

All island residents to evacuate to the shelters. Well, there's nothing I can do.

A warning for the entire island has been issued.

A warning for the entire island has been issued. Sorry, free study time for awhile.

All island residents to evacuate immediately. Sorry, free study time for awhile.

All island residents to evacuate immediately. Free study?

There are a lot of people who aren't here yet.

It's all right. They're in other shelters.

Ally plane, signal red. It's all right. They're in other shelters.

Ally plane, signal red. This place... where are we?

This place... where are we?

It's Alvis.

The entire system connection is confirmed.

Live oscillatory wave confirmed. I'm sending it.

Target is increasing its mass.

Is it a Sphinx type?

What's Solomon's prophecy?

It hasn't started yet.

Measure the mass and search for the enemy!

Issue red alert!

Take the third class battle position.

All members, take the third class battle position.

Prepare to unfold Welle Shield.

Lifting the camouflage mirror surface.

Hey, there's no shelter entrance over there!

Yeah. Thank you.

The sun...

Completed lifting the camouflage mirror surface.

Unfold the first Welle Shield.

Is the evacuation of all island residents completed?

The approaching unidentified object is determined to be a Sphinx type. Currently, 93.7% of their whereabouts are confirmed.

Hurry the interception!

Bergelmir unit, please take off quickly.

I know! All of us are on it!

We can leave in 20 seconds.

Roger.

Be careful, dear.

Yeah.

Acknowledge the object as the enemy.

Bergelmir unit, taking off.

Shoko.

Maya.

Maya...

What on Earth happened? Coo has run away too.

I'm sure Coo's escaped to a safe place.

We should evacuate, too.

It contacted the first Welle Shield.

The output is dropping. It will break through the shield.

Activate Vaffe Larden!

Completed switching over to Vaffe Larden.

The target is still proceeding.

The target has entered visually recognizable territory.

I'm projecting it on the monitor.

T-This is Festum...

This is Festum...

No. Not even close.

Element density, 2.33. Atomic weight, 28.0855.

Negative reaction level, 1.8. Solid mass...

Festum substantiating.

It's beautiful...

Beauty is not necessarily mankind's ally.

The load of the first Welle Shield is increasing.

Possibility of enemy breakthrough within 10 seconds is 75%.

The target is confirmed!

Margin of error for estimating the position is 2%.

We're starting the attack simultaneously...

...with the shield's collapse.

Attack from both sides!

The target is huge.

Miss it and you won't get your dinner!

Here we go.

No hit!

Is it reading our minds?

Everyone, eject!

I can't.

Are you there?

Are you there?

Are you there?

The target is approaching the second Welle Shield from the sky.

I wonder what will happen to us.

Don't get a case of the jitters. Settle down!

I wonder if Hazama and the others are all right.

What on Earth is happening here?

Hey!

You can't stay there. Hurry, go inside Alvis.

Alvis?

Anyway, let's hurry.

Again!

It can't be...

Why?

Mukojima self-interception system has disappeared.

This is not good...

Is awakening the giants the only choice we have left for survival?

Be ready to activate Fafner!

Stand by. Where's the pilot?

Currently being transported to the hangar aboard Barnzveck.

The attack is continuing directly above Alvis. Are you all right?

The attack is continuing directly above Alvis. Yes.

We can't stop it.

My son was a Fafner pilot, too.

Do your best.

Yes.

Barnzveck's signal has disappeared about 250 meters south of Tatsumiya.

The pilot and one staff are missing.

What!?

The enemy is approaching the Fafner hangar.

It's trying to destroy the giant first.

Start EPM of Takeru Island.

Just for a little while! Stop the bastard!

Standby completed. Fire EPM.

The target is captured.

Dad, I'm going out in Fafner instead.

Soshi!

You've got a thing...

...only you can do!

Siegfried System...

Can you do it, Soshi?

Yes.

Takeru Island EPM reaching the limit in 2 minutes.

What about Valkyrie's Rock Door?

No response!

As I thought... It's still no good.

Raise the antitank missile for interception immediately.

Last for just one more minute... Even one second is all right.

Makabe, are you ready?

He's the most suitable person in the current situation.

Kazuki Makabe He's the most suitable person in the current situation.

I'm going to use him.

Soshi...

Where are we going?

To the paradise.

EPM output is dropping.

What's this?

This is Fafner.

Fafner.

Named after the legendary giant...

...who became a dragon to protect the treasures.

It's a machine developed for the battle with Festum.

To prevent their mind-reading power, fighting in Fafner is the only way.

I want you to protect the island with this.

It's impossible! There's no way I can do it.

Yes! You can.

You must know that your body is able to unite with Fafner!

To protect the island, relying on Fafner is the only way.

I would go if I could.

But...

...you are the only one who can do it now!

Really... can I do it?

Trust me!

Fafner Mark Elf...

...prepare to take off at a lone dock.

Number Eleven Night Helle...

...open gate, standby.

Starting Siegfried System.

Soshi.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, Father.

Kazuki Makabe...

...as I expected.

With this value, you can go without the suit.

Are you all right?

What? Yes.

Everything is fine.

Good luck.

Yes.

Kazuki. Are you ready?

Yeah.

I'm starting Nibelung.

Nibelung...?

I know this...

I know this!

Logarithms Spinal Model input. Synergetic code is certified.

Nibelung start-up is confirmed.

Connecting Siegfried System.

Fafner Mark Elf, takeoff standby.

What's the matter?

This is the third hangar.

The password to remove the weapons is locked.

Without the bio-release key, we can't remove the weapons.

Then Fafner is unarmed, isn't he?

I'll be there now.

Makabe.

Take charge while I'm gone.

Kazuki, Kazuki.

Soshi? Why are you here?

I crossed directly into the visual and auditory sensors of your brain.

You inside Fafner, and I inside Siegfried...

...are connected directly through the brain nerve cell capsule.

It's not perfect since you don't have the Synergetic Suit...

...but it can't be helped.

From now on, your priority is to unite with Fafner.

First open your eyes.

My eyes?

That's right. Fafner's eyes are your eyes.

I can see!

Let's go. The bastard is approaching.

Number Eleven Night Helle, open the gate.

Fafner Mark Elf, takeoff.

This was the beginning of our journey.

If we could survive...

...we wouldn't forget today's smile...

...till the day when this island returns to a paradise again.

Too-dazzling mornings...

call for "abandonment," don't they?

I want to expose everything and just leave myself to it.

With clenched cold fingers you smile with sorrow.

It leaves me speechless and my sight blurred.

A beginning comes to an end sooner or later.

There's no need for solace.

I want to keep you warm at least...

So please give me a little more time...

God...

Preview

Preview The beginning.

It's a battle...

...and a revelation.

Things are clearer now.

I... decided... to fight.

Siegfried System.

Activate!

Determination. It's worth protecting.
