Please stop Shoko.

Get off of Kazuki's island!

What do you think you're doing?

I'm taking it away from the island.

Eject, Hazama!

Starting up Fenrir.

Kazuki...

I will protect your island...

It can't be!

We must be fools...

Look at the traces of our former dreams.

No more days of innocence.

FAFNER

We give in to the flow as we become adults.

Does it mean we become dirty little by little?

Like fruits, ripe ones are chosen...

cut up by a knife...

and swallowed, but before that...

We aimed at Shangri-La...

Unable to suppress our desire.

We desired the freedom, but could it be just our imagination?

Now we can say that this is the paradise.

No more days of innocence.

Koyo Kasugai

Sakura Kaname

Are these two the ones who are ready to fight immediately?

Barely, though...

Your response speed is going up smoothly.

Don't force yourself to unite with Fafner.

Let's take time and do it little by little.

You don't need to go out and fight in a hurry.

I had enough training.

I have a favor to ask.

Episode Seven PARENTS AND CHILDREN (Family)

I can't accept that.

Why not? I agree with Kasugai's suggestion.

Absolutely not.

The simulation has its limits.

But that is...

It's meaningless if he can't demonstrate his power in battle.

He needs training to survive in a real battle.

Business announcement to the hangar staff:

Due to the elimination of Mark Sechs, work shifts have been moved up.

Please confirm your work at each section.

Repeat. Due to the elimination of Mark Sechs...

Really. What trouble she caused.

Mark Sechs was vital.

Put yourself in the mechanics' shoes!

Hazama Family

Hazama Family

So... you won't hand over the Nothung model to us...

We lost one Fafner protecting the Neo U.N. Convoy.

We don't have anything left to hand over to you.

But...

Are you trying to turn us into a scapegoat, like Japan?

We can't sacrifice anymore.

Excuse me!

Somehow...

I can't believe Shoko's gone...

I feel like she must have transferred to another school...

Aren't you better off thinking that?

Big sis...

How do you want me to feel?

Shoko fought and died with contentment.

T-That's...

Do they want us to do the same?

You could have saved her!

You were piloting Fafner, weren't you?

You guys!

It was impossible.

But you could have done something! You could've saved her!

Only you survived... Is that all right with you?

It was impossible... Do you expect me to understand?

Shoko... suffered. Suffered and died...

But we survived...

Shoko...

We are sorry about the death of Shoko Hazama...

Shoko Hazama We are sorry about the death of Shoko Hazama...

Shoko Hazama But we need to move forward with the Arcadian Project.

The Albericht Organization nominates you to raise the next child.

What do you think?

Even...

Even though I didn't give birth to her, Shoko Hazama is my daughter.

Yes. On that subject...

Shoko is my only daughter.

I see...

Hello, Kasugai residence.

Koyo...?

Yes... Yes, one moment please.

Hello. This is Koyo.

Yes... Yes...

I understand.

What was that?

Tomorrow, I want Dad and you to come with me.

Outside temperature, 26 degrees. Humidity, 87 percent.

South-southeast wind velocity, 8 meters.

Visibility is poor.

Make sure you confirm each other's position well to avoid a collision.

Please hurry up and start!

Are you sure I can do this for real?

To some extent.

I won't go easy either, Kazuki.

All Fafner pilots, please confirm all bullets are paint bullets once again.

Mark Elf, check completed.

Mark Vier, check.

Mark Drei, check.

Then we will begin from stage one.

Mark Vier and Mark Drei are to aim from point zero to point one.

Mark Elf is to attack them after three minutes.

Time limit is 15 minutes.

Roger.

Begin.

- So far, so good. - Thanks so much.

He's after you, too.

He's behind you to the left. He will come in contact in 28 seconds.

Control your emotions or your response will slow down.

I know.

Pulse and heartbeat are a little high for both of them.

But they're within the normal range, considering this is their first piloting.

Stage one completed. We will start stage two in 20 minutes.

Stage two completed. Next, stage three.

What a difference.

They were the same when they started learning...

Shall we continue...?

That's not my real ability.

I know. But...

Whenever you feel danger, run.

Even if you are disobeying an order.

Or you will be like Hazama...

I don't want to die!

But I won't run away.

I want to take down as many enemies as possible... because they killed Dad.

My power was disappointing, wasn't it?

It's all right...

We could gauge your real power. It was successful.

Now... this is the end...

So... let's go to the examination room.

So you couldn't decline it?

If it were a real battle, this would have been a casket.

There's one good shot.

Huh?

You're right.

I knew this was going to happen...

But...

We make our children fight like this so that we can survive...

I can't...

I can't understand it!

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Koyo Kasugai

As expected, we found a change in his chromosomes.

Don't you feel anything?

Not particularly... Do we?

It's because we're from Albelihide.

Our job is done.

We're different from yours or Kaname's family.

How could you say that?

Like the Hazama family, we couldn't have a baby...

We couldn't join the project unless we accepted this job.

Ms. Hazama is not that kind of person!

Her daughter was a success! She destroyed one enemy...

Ours is defective.

Defective...

This is the island found at 350 kilometers north.

It sure looks similar.

Rather... it's the same as Alvis.

Alvis is not the only island built under the Arcadian Project.

But information regarding the other islands was never disclosed to us.

No matter what this island was protecting...

...someone has to take it over.

But is this island part of the Arcadian Project?

In order to check that, I think it's worth going there.

We need to know what happened. Send Fafner with the research unit.

You are in charge of selecting the staff.

I understand.

Excuse me...

Why am I joining?

I heard the medical team is short of staff.

You can do a little, can't you?

Excuse me...

- Stop, Dad. - You damn stray!

Dad!

Chocolat!

Stop, Dad!

We don't have any food to feed a dog!

I'll share my food. Let me keep him!

Mind your own business!

You just need to be a pilot.

Hurry up and get rid of it!

Thank you... Chocolat.

Kasugai?

Tomi...

Oh! How cute!

Does she have a name?

No, not yet.

How cute!

You are going out tomorrow, aren't you?

Yeah...

I don't know for sure... but it seems it's been decided already.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Kaname

She's not home...

Right! Let's go to Mamoru's house.

He must be home.

Kodate

Sorry... I can't have dogs.

I see...

I'm sorry.

Kondo

Kondo Wasn't it rough outside? It's raining.

So-so...

Actually, I have a small favor to ask...

Oh. They're specimens for the research.

And what did you want to ask me?

N... No, it's all right.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to ride Fafner with me?

Koyo?

Did you hear about tomorrow?

Yeah...

Then...

D-Do you like dogs?

Eh?

I heard my dad had a dog a long time ago.

Dog...

No. Nothing.

Koyo.

Uh... don't catch a cold. Both of you.

Kasugai?

Thank you.

Hazama Family

Why did you choose Kazuki and Kasugai?

You think I'm incompetent?

I don't think so.

But have you forgotten about Mark Sechs?

That incident could've been prevented if we had a Fafner and pilot...

...who could defend the island.

I think we should always leave a useful pilot behind.

Then let's leave it at that.

Thanks, Kaname.

Is she doing well?

Yeah, she's doing well.

Here.

Thanks... You cleaned Hazama's grave, didn't you?

I wasn't the only one.

Kazuki and Minashiro helped, too.

What's the matter?

They even brought you out, Maya?

It's become such a big deal.

Uh... Mizoguchi, are you all right?

I'm all right, I'm all right. It's like going fishing.

- Here. - Oh, t-thank you.

When the tide is about to change, you can usually catch big ones.

Oh...

You can't fish when you're sober.

Oh...

The purpose is to secure materials...

...but the island's defense system has not necessarily stopped completely.

Therefore, we have Fafners as the last resort.

I'm counting on both of you.

We are about to approach the sky above the target island.

Kazuki... just because you restored Shoko's grave...

...do you think you're finished paying for your sin?

Kazuki!

Your emotions are disturbed, Koyo!

Don't think anything now.

Concentrate on your duty.

We have arrived at the target.

At that time, what we had was not a joy of survival after the battle.

It was the reality that we had sacrificed someone.

It was all everyone could do to deal with that.

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...

You abandoned Shoko?

The eyes clouded with sorrow.

The hearts that pass each other.

The island where something is about to start.

I will never abandon my friends.

On the next Fafner...
