Tomi, can you keep remembering me?

I'm worried that I might get used to fighting.

I feel like I'm changing into something different.

Everyone feels uneasy.

No one can stay unchanged.

But we sure exist here, now, don't we?

That's why...

Tomi.

No matter how we change, I will remember you, Kazuki.

Thank you.

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.

You've come.

You... can still quit...

No. I've already made my decision.

Let's go... to the outside world.

This... is the right choice. This is...

Episode 11 THE NEO U.N. FORCE (Old and New)

I haven't seen Kazuki.

I wonder if he's stuck at Alvis?

Eh? You don't know?

Well... there's a rumor.

Kazuki and Miss Kariya...

No way!

I didn't know those two had a relationship!

Forbidden love.

Two people with a huge age difference chose to... elope!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

- Shut up! - Ouch!

It's not so interesting.

He just got scared and ran away...

He deserted in the face of the enemy.

I wonder what will happen if you desert in the face of the enemy?

I don't know...

Modern Japanese

Yukie Kariya

What a foolish thing you've done... Yukippe...

What... is this place?

One of the worlds where a few billion humans used to live.

Soshi saw this world too, didn't he...?

Yeah. That's what I heard.

- We're landing now. - Yes.

Kazuki.

You're a good pilot.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

No, I didn't mean it like that.

A long time ago, I was a Fafner pilot candidate, too.

You were?

Regarding the Mark Elf pilot...

...there was no problem in the synergetic code formation rate...

...or in his state of mind.

Except for the motive...

All I can think is that there must have been some external factor.

An external factor called Yukie Kariya?

I'm sorry...

...but can you leave the disposition...

...of Kazuki Makabe and Yukie Kariya to me?

Kozo Minashiro and I were aware of the fact...

...that Yukie Kariya was a Neo U.N. spy.

We let her remain free until we understood her intentions clearly.

But it is my fault for not preventing this situation.

Please.

Being double-crossed by a young girl... you're too easy.

Well, I'm sure you didn't expect your son to side with her...

Do you think they were following Mitsuhiro's instructions?

Who else would plan such a complicated thing?

Then... we haven't seen the worst yet.

I know you. You're prepared, aren't you?

By any chance... are you regretting this?

No. I felt like I was going to lose myself if I stayed there.

I agree. That island wasn't the place you were supposed to be.

I want you to protect the world, not just the island.

The world? Me?

It's only natural for a Fafner pilot at your level.

If we can destroy the Festums with this...

...I won't mind paying any price.

He used to say that we need to know the true meaning...

Why the Fafners were created...

Make the people on the island understand, Makabe!

Miss Kariya... who is "he"?

What bad timing!

It will find us if we stay here. We need to move quickly!

No. We can't leave here.

Fight, Makabe!

That's an order!

Are you there?

It doesn't work...

What are you doing? Destroy it, Makabe!

I know!

Makabe, land and stand by.

Yes.

Is that... a Fafner?

This Sphinx type seems to be too easy...

Triple Six, have you confirmed the assimilation of the target?

How should I know...?

Canon, this is my game. Don't you come here.

I have to. It's an order.

I'm coming to secure the Nothung Model.

Are you there?

I'm tired of hearing that.

Not yet.

Oh... I'm disappointed. You're in time.

Are you there?

Before I was. But now I'm not.

A beast with ten horns hates the woman...

...strips her naked, eats the meat.

And... burns her down.

Sorry.

Awesome.

Miss Kariya... what on Earth are those Fafners?

Miss Kariya?

What's the matter?

It's not on my side?

What a snappy guy!

Oops!

Who are you?

Say it! Or...!

Don't... give me any trouble.

Canon, I told you to keep your nose out.

You're ruining my good time.

My duty takes priority. I've been ordered to have fun after that.

Damn! So stubborn, as usual.

Go. Get on the boat.

I never dreamed that Kazuki was the pilot.

Listen, Canon. This is a senior officer's order.

Next time, think of your duty after I finish having my fun. All right?

That contradicts the rules.

You lack flexibility.

You're late.

How can we divide our assets without knowing if they exist or not?

Isn't that right, Yukippe?

Are you Michio?

Uh... My feelings are hurt. Did you just notice me?

What a pity... for the Nothung Model to end up like this...

You tricked me, didn't you? Your aim was the Fafner, wasn't it?

Don't misunderstand.

As I promised, I will take you to paradise.

Paradise... I just...

At least, the place we're headed is a paradise to me.

Be patient and stay there for a little while till then.

Are you satisfied now, Yukippe?

That boy is still too easy.

Right...

You, too.

Hmm?

We know you were too close to Kozo Minashiro.

That's...

Everyone suspects that you may be a double spy.

This is my duty, too... Don't think badly of me.

You'll pay for this...

Let me see him!

Ask him about me, and you'll regret treating me like this!

Michio! Are you listening?

Michio Hino!

That woman is a little loud.

She hasn't changed since I was on the island.

If she doesn't quiet down, give her a gag.

At last, I got the Nothung Model.

I thank you on behalf of the entire world, Doctor Bertrand.

I'm sure this will make it possible for the Arcadian Project...

...to contribute a little to the human race.

Are you sure?

Using these two is the only way for the island to survive.

I've already received a report that Fafner preparations are complete.

It's my fault, not his, that Kazuki got dragged into this...

And now these two as well.

This incident is not your fault.

Everything, including what Mitsuhiro did...

...is supposed to have been settled.

I think he still believes he can change the world with Fafners.

Mitsuhiro left Tatsumiya Island in order to defeat Festums...

But the battle with nothing to protect is meaningless.

He was probably the first one on the island to have his heart assimilated.

Tomi Clinic

Today, I don't know why, but I'm so tired.

Welcome back.

I'm home.

What's this?

The school event calendar.

For the time being, we're having a graduation ceremony...

We have to do it, don't we? As usual...

You're right.

Have you heard about Kazuki?

Tomi.

Tomi, can you keep remembering me?

Kazuki... I wonder where he is now.

I heard you were the last one Kazuki talked to before he left the island.

Minashiro...

What did Kazuki tell you?

He...

Did he say he wanted to escape from the battle? Or...

Did he say he wanted to escape from me?

Neither one... He just wanted me to keep remembering him.

I see.

I want to ask you something, too.

Did Kazuki tell you anything, Minashiro?

No... nothing...

Then...

Why do you say he escaped?

You should have discussed more with Kazuki!

You're the one who's running away!

What do you know?

He...

I thought...

I thought he could understand me.

Kazuki, too...

It's obvious he thought the same about you!

We shared our feelings many times.

Even pain and wounds were a bond.

But we each wanted the other to understand so much...

...that we forgot each other existed.

How could we go back...?

We didn't have any idea.

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...
