Archived version of this post
I neglected to mention the X Aestivalis is now selectable as an alternate mech for any Nadesico pilot to use. It’s fine, but all of its weapons are not post-move and it lacks any combination attacks. I’m not using any Aestis, but if I was, I’d probably not use the X.
Squad time. We’ve got Setsuna leading the charge as the only mandatory deployment. We’ve also got 19 squads to work with, which are Leon/Andrei, Alto/Sayaka, Guy/Rimul, Flit/Nu, Ash/Ranvel, J/Aisha, Jojo/ChoRyuJin, Jin/Maria, Shou/Slarzen, Knight/Yuuki, Lockon/Michael, Brera/Girard, SKL/Zeheart, Banagher/Fram, Koji/Graham, Mic/Captain, Youta/Bruvictor, Gorg/Allelujah, and Volfogg/Ozma. As a MAJOR NOTE, anyone paired with Tieria will not be able to be deployed. I found this out the hard way as Kio was missing and I didn’t notice it until it was too late. You’ll find out why in a moment. Make sure you deploy Andrei, even if you don’t like him. The Tactician is Sumeragi for increased damage against ELS.
Last time, we saved The POWER from falling into Primeval hands, but there’s now a huge swarm of ELS coming out of Jupiter’s Big Red Spot.
[Union, Federal Space Agency Technical Research Institute]
What’s up, Billy? How’s Jupiter looking?
As BX reported, it appears the Primevals were defeated, but… ELS… Could this be their main force? Main force… I guess you could call it that, but that’s not entirely correct. I’d be quicker if I could see it for myself. Move it.[She does some typing]
What is that… Given its size, it’s probably the ELS’ equivalent to a HQ or a transport ship. It’s moving slowly, but steadily, emerging from Jupiter with the rest of the swarm. It’s about the same size as the Moon… There’s countless ELS inside it too… I’ve heard the evacuation of the Jovians is almost complete… “Almost” complete… That means it’s not done yet. And even then, they’ve only been moved to a temporary evacuation site. If the ELS swarm continues to grow, there’s no escape. Why are you so calm? If the Jovians perish, all these peace talks will be for nothing. All we can do is believe. There’s no point in panicking or being afraid. That’s right… All we can do is believe. BX’s power has opened up new possibilities before…
[Nahel Argama, Briefing Room]
All right then… This situation isn’t looking very good. No, in fact, situations as dire as this one almost never happen.
The ELS will attempt to fuse with anything they come into contact with. One is really dangerous enough, but that many…
It’s practically impossible for us to eliminate those numbers all on our own.
Yes… Our troops are still suffering damage from using The POWER. Plus, we have almost no time to prepare.
It’s not out of the question that we leave this space for a while to prepare, but…
We cannot! I’ve heard there are still some stranded Jovian civilian ships around here. You’re right. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, we cannot allow ourselves to take even one step back! Hear hear. If we don’t stop the ELS here, it’s only a matter of time before they reach Mars or Earth. If that happens, more people will die. No, they’ll bring humanity to the brink of extinction for the first time since the First Interstellar War! We must do what we can to prevent that from happening! But…
We don’t have time to wait for reinforcements or to reorganize our forces. We have to go as we are now.
Is there any strategy that will see us through this?
…
Your thoughts, Miss Tactical Forecaster? You’ve been very quiet. …There is only one way we’re surviving this. We must attempt to converse with the ELS. “The Dialogues to Come”… You mentioned it before, right? Using an Innovator’s quantum brainwaves, we can convey our desire to stop fighting without any misunderstandings. Is that the gist of it? I see. As long as we can communicate telepathically, love knows no borders.
Yurika… That summary is a bit…
But she’s not wrong. To convey love without misunderstanding to a being that doesn’t understand words or songs… That’s no easy feat. That’s what the 00 Qan[t] was made for. If quantum brainwaves can reach the ELS, then it should be possible to share consciousness within a high density particle region and share our thoughts. Indeed. Already, the 00 Qan[t] has used its powers to perform miracles. It also helped us make peace with the aliens on Austral. I have no worries about whether our consciousness will be transmitted to the ELS. However…
However? The Dialogue to Come was supposed to happen after humanity’s will was unified. Though peace talks are progressing, we’re still far from being able to claim that humanity has become one. Do you suspect there’s still an evil Aura emanating from Earth? Yes. I believe the unification of humanity’s will is close in concept to the purification that you told me about earlier. If we hold dialogue when humanity is not a united front… Even if we convey our consciousness, malicious individuals will eventually attack them and make things really complicated… Right? Must like how GAIL ruined the relationship between Yuu and Manon, huh… Yes. What would you say our chances for succeeding in dialogue are? I’d put it at a 50/50 chance… To be honest, that’s being very generous. It’s one hell of a gamble. … … But Banagher showed us possibilities, and Kio showed us the path to a new era. Even if our odds are low, we must have hope in this strategy! Then let’s do it! We even managed to make peace with the Jovians and Vagans! We were able to clear up the misunderstandings with the Vajra while they were being tricked by the Vagans.
I’ve been listening for a while now. This plan sounds painful and it’s too risky. It’s a gamble, but it’s not like we’re putting everything on the line in hopes for a miracle. I’ve heard that in Upper Earth, the heavens smile on those who forge their own destiny. Heh… Well, if the reward is a miracle, then I guess I’ll pony up.
Whatever you lack, you can make up for with courage! If anything, we have more than enough of that with the people we’ve gathered. Okay! This operation will be centered around Celestial Being, with the goal of achieving successful dialogue with the ELS. Yes. This will be the final mission for both us and BX against the ELS!
[Federal Parliament, Hallway]
The extraterrestrial mutant metallic entity ELS is coming out of Jupiter… My god…
(BX is near Jupiter… Setsuna, are you…)
Found you two. It’s you… Why are you here? I’m just checking out the state of the council. If the Emergency Resolution on ELS turns out well, I want to let BX know.
Unfortunately, it’s not looking good. Have they come to a decision yet?
The opposite. Progress has stalled. Some people are only concerned with their own vested interests and self-preservation… If everyone could take even a half step forward, we would be that much closer…
This seems like both a challenge and an opportunity. If we could overcome this… Humanity can come together as one…
…It seems that BX is attempting to communicate with the ELS. With aliens whose language we can’t even understand!? Not to defeat them, but to try and get us to understand each other… I see… In that case, we can no longer hesitate. Senator Ronan… As a politician, I should be obsessed with protecting my seat and not doing anything instead of taking action for the sake of the future. Understandable. Parliament will resume shortly. See you later.[Ronan, Shirin, and Klaus leave]
What do they think they’re doing… I don’t know, but I have a vague idea… … …Princess Marina, I apologize for my rudeness, but would you like to eat this? What is it? Eating delicious food makes you feel better. That’s my family’s motto. Those words remind me of… Hehe. Thank you very much. I’ll have some. Let’s believe in them… And in BX… Yes. (I want… I want us to understand each other… I believe it’s possible… I know you feel the same, Setsuna…)
[Ptolemaios 2 Kai, Hangar]
I can’t lose…
Captain Andrei? This battle isn’t only a fight for dialogue, but a fight to protect civilians. As a soldier, I must protect them.
Are those the words of someone carrying on their late parents’ will? Yes. If I can’t make this mission a success, then there’s no reason to keep being a soldier. (Are you seeing this, Colonel Sergei? Captain Andrei is making you proud…)
It’s strange. We once fought as enemies, but now we’re fighting together.
When people change, the world changes. This is just one of those changes. Change, huh… I have hope for the future of humanity. Is the world moving towards the future that Aeolia Schenberg envisioned?
We have no idea, however… Yeah. I believe the answer lies in our dialogue with the ELS.
And our trump card is that machine right there.
Mr. Arde’s consciousness data has successfully been transferred!
How do you feel, Tieria?
No problems. I’ve fully linked with Qan[t]’s systems.
I can’t believe you installed a small Veda terminal inside a mobile suit…
It’s all thanks to everyone who helped us rush it. Thank you.
I’ve learned a lot too. Although, wouldn’t it be nicer if you were a small chibi character? Hard pass.
Hehe… It’s cute to see a tiny Tieria in the cockpit. It’s not a physical body, but a projection. My electronic consciousness is inside the terminal.
So you’re a real electron fairy. Thank you for your support, Mileina. …Mr. Arde. What is it? No matter what form you take, I will always love you! !?
(That’s the first time I’ve seen a proper confession…) Hehe… My appearance is merely a container. This is just a form I can take. Oh my! I’m overjoyed. Congrats on the wonderful boyfriend. I don’t get any of you! Seriously, why are you acting so carefree right before a mission… When things aren’t normal, it’s important to act as normal as possible. Good grief. Imagine an old man like me getting told off by a young girl… Once these battles are over, let’s go on a family vacation. Yes! I want to go to a hot spring with everyone!
Bringing Ian to a hot spring must make you Ian-sane.
Yes, yes. Is it time to take Ruri back home? Um, sorry, but could you please help me with some final adjustments? We need to finish the new armaments for the Zabanya and Harute.
Of course. We’ll do everything we can to the best of our ability. Now we’ll be able to use Veda to parse the information sent by the ELS. The GN Drive, Veda, and Innovators… These are the three things that Aeolia Schenberg desired to make the Dialogues to Come a reality.
But… Can it really be done? You just gotta believe, right? It’s not a question of whether we can do it or not. We have to do it. If Setsuna has awakened as a true Innovator, then I know he will.
[Nadesico, Cafeteria]
Um, what does dialogue mean in this context anyway?
It’s not like an apology… It’s not even close to being an apology at all…
That doesn’t tell me anything! Explain it properly![Door opens]
Huh? Are all of you feeling anxious?
Aren’t you as well, Sheryl? Of course not. Who do you think I am?
Oh, Sheryl!
Sheryl, hear me out! No one is listening to me!
We are, Churull. We just don’t know what we don’t know. Even you’re worried, Jojo? I’m starting to worry if we’ll be able to pull this off! Everyone is anxious and that’s ok. As long as both sides seek understanding, we should be able to communicate with each other. Of course we’re anxious. We’re not Innovators. I’ve gotten used to Gorg and the Vajra, but the ELS… I mean just look at them. Will it work out? What if this dialogue doesn’t work out… Hmm… Apparently Yurika said that love has no borders. ? Isn’t it the same as saying music transcends language? Ah… I think I get it. I see… I should have said something like that. Even among humans, sometimes we’re not able to communicate, and sometimes a single trigger can lead to understanding. So even if we’re dealing with the ELS, it’ll be fine as long as some kind of opportunity shows up. It sounds so simple when you put it like that. Sheryl, is that why you came here? I mean, you all should calm down. We’ve done this already with the Vajra, remember?
Pii! It’s embarrassing when you put it like that… Hey, Ranka. What made you guys succeed in communicating with the Vajra? Back then, I believed that I would be able to reach them someday. I never gave up. Those feelings were conveyed to the Vajra through music.
And at that moment, this young man approached the Vajra and delivered those feelings. Yeah. So if we can just convey our feelings, maybe it’ll work out in the end…
Even if our species and ethical values differ, we may be able to share our respect for life and our desire to coexist. If we do that, it may be possible to open up a path to coexistence with the ELS. Of course, that’s if they’re also willing to do so…
That’s right! Even if we can talk to them, if they think we taste good, they’ll just eat us, right? What if they have the same personality as that Kiba guy? We won’t know until we talk to them. The problem is… We still have to fight a lot of ELS until we’re able to communicate… I wonder if it’ll work out… Won’t they be angry?
That’s a pointless question. Once we’ve decided on a strategy, we just have to execute it. Besides, if we’re being sincere, our feelings will definitely be conveyed. That’s what I believe.
Conveying your feelings while fighting… Even if we speak lies, our true feelings will still be delivered. It’s already clear that that happens between humans.
I can’t use quantum brainwaves, but I’ll keep reaching out, even if it’s only a prayer.
Just like Kio’s dad, I have to work hard too…[Door opens]
What are you all doing here? It’s time for the briefing. Sorry about that. Are you all going? Yuu… You’ll be fine, right? It’ll work out. Setsuna will do a good job. … It’s fine. We’ve been fighting for this very moment for a long time. Don’t worry, and don’t give me that look. But you guys might… Don’t say anything more. I’m prepared to die, but I have no intention of dying. Until the time has come for us to face our maker, we must remain invincible heroes. Right?
That’s true… You are Celestial Being after all. Now then, it’s time we got the main character ready.
[Ptolemaios 2 Kai, Infirmary]
I checked your vitals. No problems. You can get up now, Setsuna.
Thanks. Don’t push yourself too hard. I will do whatever it takes. That’s the kind of battle we’re fighting.[Door opens]
The best thing we can do is not be worried about him. Why are you here? Isn’t there a briefing? We’re only human. If something’s happening to a friend, of course we’d be worried.
We heard that you were undergoing a physical exam, so we came to check on you.
You’re the key to this whole thing, Setsuna. Everything is fine. I was just double checking.
Please try not to be nervous. The last time you tried to communicate with the ELS, you… No matter what happens to my body, we must achieve this dialogue. No matter how many times, until we understand each other… …
I knew you’d say that, so here’s a present from us to you, Setsuna.
Special candy from the Kurogane Inn! I heard that you can’t eat before a mission, so I brought this with me. It’s packed with iron, so it’ll definitely help you stay calm! I’m not nervous, but…
Hmm? Well if that’s how it is, we should have gotten you calcium instead of iron… First of all, calcium doesn’t have an impact on one’s mental state. Ah… Setsuna, you sure know a lot. Not particularly. That’s something Feldt looked into a while back. Yeah… Back then, I wasn’t good at expressing my emotions, so… Hmm… I guess you don’t need this candy. I’m sorry, Setsuna. Heh… No, I’m grateful for the thought of it. Yuki’s candy seemed to have worked. Seems like it.
If you can smile, then there’s no need for us to say anything more.
I’m sure the dialogue will go well. Consider this a seal of approval from your senior. You guys came all the way here for something like that? You’re going to have a conversation with a species that doesn’t even speak a language. What’ll happen if we, who can speak, are unable to tell you how we feel? You’ve helped me so many times… Now it’s my turn to give back. I’m a Gundam pilot after all. I see… Thank you. Stay alive, young man. With my sword, I will respond to your will. The “battle” we’re going into is a different kind of “battle” that I preached when I was a fool. I know. Thank you.[Monitor turns on]
Setsuna, are you up? I want to make some final adjustments to the Qan[t]. Please come as soon as you can.(Phone)
Roger. I’m on my way. Setsuna! What is it? Is there something wrong with my vitals? Um, well… Sorry, it’s nothing. Be careful, Setsuna. Yeah.[Setsuna leaves]
…Are you sure? It’s too big… What is? His love is too big… I’m fine just caring about him… Really…
… (Setsuna… The future you’ll carve out will guide everyone… So move forward. May you be a guidepost to a world where we can understand each other.)
Chapter 43: Trailblazer
Begin by choosing a Tactician (Sumeragi) and two battleships to accompany the Ptolemy (Diva and Quarter).
What happened to the evacuation of the Jovians!?
The shuttle that just launched is the last one!
The Reigetsu in the rear will retrieve them! Now, it’s time… We’re counting on you, Setsuna!Kenji Kawai - Final Mission ~ Quantum Burst
Lateral voltage rising, currently above 730. Transferring launch timing to Setsuna F. Seiei!
Roger! 00 Qan[t], Setsuna F. Seiei, launching!
Even though we’re so far away, I can feel the ELS’ quantum brainwaves…
Looking at it with my own eyes, there’s so many of them…
It’s not a matter of numbers! We’re not alone either. We won’t lose!
Good grief… At times like these, I envy Jin’s math grades. What does that have to do with this!?
Relax. We all know what you're trying to say.
If we all work together, we can defeat any enemy! And this time, we’re not here to defeat them. This is a battle to achieve understanding. Lockon, Allelujah! The new equipment hasn’t been tested yet, but we’re counting on you!
Thank you, Ian. I’ll show you how to use it! Listen, Setsuna. Our goal is “dialogue”. For that reason… Yeah. We’ll head to the center of that large ELS and attempt communication with a Quantum Burst! BX, deploy! I’m counting on you, everyone.
Deploy the troops! Make sure you deploy Andrei.
Listen, don’t overextend! Be careful to avoid assimilation by the ELS!
Heh. That’s a tall order.
If it means the operation will succeed, I’ll even risk my life to act as a decoy!
There’s an overwhelming amount of them… I guess we need to attract their attention away from Sir Setsuna.
Hmm!? That’s…
…
…
They transformed!?
I guess it’s more accurate to call it mimicry. It’s likely they used memories from previous battles to make copies.
…(NO PILOT)
So they’re using mobile weapons found in an abandoned Jovian base? What a polite welcome. I’m touched.
But we’re used to fighting them, so this’ll be easy!
Aye. We’ll still fight.
That’s… Is The POWER also affecting the ELS!?
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Does that mean they have the advantage in not only numbers, but also firepower and morale!?
We have no choice but to move forward. But even so, we will succeed! For the future… For the Dialogues to Come! Okay, everyone. This operation is all about making this dialogue a success.
To do that, we must get Setsuna’s Qan[t] to that point. No matter what obstacles we face, hope and possibilities lie there! Mission, start!!Firstly, the unit upgrades!
Gundams Zabanya and Harute got upgrades into their Final Mission equipment. This adds a new finisher and an increase in overall stats for the two mobile suits.
Setsuna’s 00 Qan[t] also now has Tieria as a copilot. Having a second support-based Spirit pool makes it into a true monster. In future missions, Tieria will be the Qan[t]’s copilot if you don’t deploy the Raphael Gundam.
Welcome to the Gundam 00 Movie finale! The ELS have a gimmick I mentioned when we last encountered them, that being their attacks reduce the target’s EN when it hits. If this reduces a unit’s EN to 0, the ELS will assimilate them, killing the mech instantly and restore the ELS to full HP and EN. Naturally, don’t get hit and keep an eye on your gas guzzler’s EN. Also, you don’t lose any additional EN if an attack deals 0 damage due to a barrier.
SECRET ALERT
Andrei Mandatory #2 and #3
Deploy Andrei (#2).
Have Andrei defeat at least 2 enemies before his story event (#3).
It’s easy enough to set up a few kills for him. Even if you don’t like him, it’s important to get him to survive since it’s required for this game’s true ending.
The next plot even happens when there are 16 pairs of enemies left.
Their numbers have decreased somewhat! The path forward has opened… Now!
Guh! Are you okay, Setsuna!? I’m fine.
There’s more ELS again!!
Are they attracted to Setsuna’s quantum brainwaves?
That’s how it should be. This must be a fight for our very lives!
All units, continue to eliminate the surrounding ELS! Secure a path for the 00 Qan[t]!The next event happens when there are 10 enemy pairs left. It’s worth noting now that, if you attack the ELS that’s on the arrival square, it’ll regain full HP. That’ll be covered a little later.
Phew… Seems like they won’t let us catch our breath anytime soon!
Help me!! Isn’t that… What’s wrong!? Why did you come back!? Our route was blocked by the ELS! At this rate…[Alarm]
They’re here!
WAAAAAAAH!! STAY AWAAAAAAAY!! Please! I don’t care about myself, just save the civilians! Everyone, I can’t let them die! I’ll go! Captain Andrei!?
UUUUOOOOOOOOOO!!
Are you okay!? E-Earthling weapons… They saved us… Captain! Get out of there now! ELS reinforcements, right!? I know!
Oh no!
Gah! I’m being assimilated!? Captain Andrei! Ahhh… Get the hell out of here! Leave this to BX and survive!! U-understood! I’m sorry!
Guh! Assimilation rate at 30%... But I can’t let them chase that shuttle![A red light as Andrei’s mobile suit activates Trans-Am]
What are you doing!? You of all people should understand! Even if it means risking my life, I must protect those civilians!!
Don’t waste your life! Only a fool would try to die so easily!
What’s he doing!? … W-what… “W-what…” What do you think, idiot!? Why have you survived this long!? If you have a belief you want to uphold, then you should see it through to the end! It’s the duty of a soldier to keep fighting to protect civilians… Oh, sure! I’ve returned alive countless times for the sake of my beloved Colonel!
B-beloved? Hahaha… The secret of the Immortal Colasour is love, huh… …Roger that. I’m bailing out of my infected mobile suit and escaping![Andrei escapes, his mobile suit blows up, and Patrick takes him to the Ptolemy]
I’ll take care of him! Sorry, but you’ll need to let me back in![Patrick escapes into the Ptolemy]
Good! Our strategy is progressing well. Let’s keep preventing the enemy from getting the advantage!
All units, quickly intercept the surrounding ELS to prevent any further harm to Jovian civilians!If you didn’t get Andrei’s secret, Patrick wouldn’t save him and he would die while taking out the surrounding ELS. If Patrick is deployed, he’ll be force-moved next to the Ptolemy. At least Andrei’s pair partner (Leon) is still on the map.
Now’s a good point to show what happens if you attack the ELS on top of the arrival point.
That ELS… It doesn’t have any intention of leaving that point no matter what.
That’s bad. As they say, a traveler’s cloak tends to get torn off by a strong wind! What’s the point of attacking that one right now? We need to limit damage to our allies… By reducing numbers and ensuring safety, right? That’s a smart call. You heard him, everyone! Leave the big guys for later and take out the small fry first!Funny how he says that, but you can take out the other three large ELS near the objective.
Anyway, the next plot event happens when there are 5 enemy pairs left.
…
More ELS incoming! All units, be careful! Even if you say that…
We can’t get to the point yet!? No! If we charge there now, the number of ELS is still…
More of them… The ELS are spreading throughout this space! ELS are appearing from the other side of Jupiter! They’re heading towards us!
What!?
Ahh! More ELS!! They probably don’t think we’re here to talk to them!
Marching into someone’s house with your shoes still on only to talk probably isn’t something they’d understand.
What should we do!? I don’t think they’ll listen to us now! Dammit. Even if the Reigetsu comes to help, we’re still outmatched! Then I’ll use Trans-Am to lure the ELS towards me!
Don’t! Trans-Am is our trump card for communication. If you use it too much…
Don’t rush, Setsuna! You’re the only one who can do something about this!
We’ll do something to help you!
Are you serious!?
They just don’t stop… Plus, they’re all buffed up with The POWER. Is the party finally reaching its climax?
No. In fact, the party is coming to an end. Sumeragi… … (I guess we were too early after all… Without a unified will among humanity, dialogue isn’t possible…)
!? The Ptolemaios! (Setsuna!)
What!?
What the heck!?
Super Robot Wars BX - Those Beyond the Boundary
Are you okay, BX!? Captain Bright! That’s the Londo Bell’s flagship, the Ra Cailum! And also…
Looks like we made it in time. Colonel! You came for me! I love you so much! It’s Brigadier General! And I’m not here just for you!
This is Admiral Koichiro Misumaru of the Earth Federation Forces. We will now be providing support! Dad!?
Everyone, we must protect the home of our allies from these invaders! I also see Vagan and Jovian mobile weapons.
What a big party~. Guess I’ll have to go too. Admiral… Is that voice Admiral Fukube!? It’s been a white, Captain. V. How are you… Didn’t you die in a suicide mission to get us through that Chulip? I was captured by the Jovians and a lot of other things happened. We’ll talk about that later. Okay! Let’s finish this up so I can talk to you properly! Fufu… Let’s get things started!
That fleet is strong… With the power of true friendship, we will push back the ELS’ front lines!
Got it, Major Tsukiomi! Let’s show off the true strength of us Jovian men!
Tri-Stars, coordinate with each military’s mobile weapons and eliminate the obstacles! The target is the ELS swarm in Jupiter’s orbit! FIREEEEE!!
The Earth Federation, the Vagans, and the Jovians… People who were once at war with each other are working together! Sorry we’re late, but it is what it is. Although we have only just begun, the path to reconciliation has been opened. This is a special case… A trial so to speak. A mixed unit made up of various titles and origins, but it’s still a step forward. It seems that Senator Ronan is mostly responsible for making this happen.
Dad did…
Shiratori… Yeah! The road to pace is progressing steadily! The results are right in front of us! …When the dialogue finally takes place, the will of humanity will already be united… I can’t believe Aeolia foresaw this…
No. No one can see into the future. Human will can even overturn destiny.
This is only possible because of the people who desired this outcome and prayed for it.
This is the path to the true Eden!
It’s because humanity believes in the possibility of the Dialogues to Come… Yes! The wills of humanity have converged and become one! We, the combined fleet, will head to where the ELS are emerging and to cover the Reigetsu! BX, this is all on you. Let’s make sure this dialogue is a success.
The stage is set. The rest is up to you.
Don’t waste our efforts, okay!? Roger that! I’ll put up a fight to match the Tri-Star’s heroism! Hmph. Seems you’re best suited with BX! Godspeed![Bright’s combined fleet leaves]
The possibility has taken fruit… We’re heading towards a tomorrow where people can join hands and understand each other.
Then we need to move forward! To the future with our own power! Got it, Setsuna!? Yeah! We’ll start the dialogue with the 00 Qan[t]!The giant ELS will now take damage without recovering. The map ends when either all enemies are defeated or you defeat the large ELS and get Setsuna to that point. Of course, I did the former.
But now, we’ve got dialogues when characters fight any of the ELS. There’s not many ELS remaining, though.
I’m not the only one… Humanity has begun to change… So I must… … Veda and I will receive the torrent of information from the ELS! Setsuna, you move forward with all your might without hesitation! Roger! Heh… I’ve lost so much to get here, but it wasn’t all in vain! Isn’t that right, Neil!? Anew!? Hallelujah! Marie! We’ll carve out a path for Setsuna! Got it! Ian and the others gave the Harute an upgrade! We’ll give our all here! Ha! A fusion of reflexes and thought! I’ll show them how great we are! Preparations have been made for the Dialogues to Come! We won’t let it end in failure! Let’s move forward! This battle will be a success! Wow, you seem confident. Is that a Tactical Forecaster’s prediction? No. I’m certain of it. Though I don’t think that’s typical of a Tactical Forecaster to say. Hehe… But I’ll still do my job. Let’s see what the future holds beyond this dialogue! Everyone is fighting for you… Please stay safe…Setsuna! Heh. Commander Nigel of the Tri-Stars… I once wanted to fly with you, but it seems that dream will have to wait! I must survive this battle for the future of humanity!(This one is with Patrick, but only if Andrei survived)
There’s plenty of ELS to choose from! I don’t know how far I can go with a GN-X! But even so, the woman who played a part in your legend of immortality is here. You’re not going to die here, are you? Of course not! I’ll let the ELS hear it too! I LOVE YOU! KATIIIIIIIIIII!! … I’m an Earth Federation soldier too! I’ll protect the lives of civilians until the very end! Just watch! Everyone came to help, but there’s still so many ELS! Not only are we outnumbered, but they’ve also gained the power of The POWER! We’re still at a disadvantage, but even so, it’s much better than before! I still feel like we can win this fight! Gorg, the battle with the ELS is tough, isn’t it? But just endure it a little longer.
… Thank you, Gorg! I’m not running away from this either! I’m fighting right here with you!
The first big gamble was a success. I hope the other one will work out too!
Jin! It would be terrible if Raijin-Oh was assimilated by the ELS! Please be extremely careful! How many times do you have to say that!? I’m getting sick of hearing it! Chill out! They’re just worried about us! Setsuna should be beginning his dialogue soon! Everyone, let’s put in a bit more effort! I have no way to tell you about the dangers of The POWER. That’s why I will continue to fight here! I believe that Setsuna will communicate with you! Every single one of them are weirdos, coming all the way to a scary place like this. Seriously now…
You’re one of those weirdos too, you know? Hehehe. You got that right. Let’s do it, Window. Let’s help Setsuna communicate with the ELS! Humans who were once fighting each other have progressed to the point where they’re fighting together! Even if we are of different races, the act of dialogue should have the same result! Please show us you understand, ELS! That was a scene that Aeolia Schenberg and everyone in Celestial Being was aiming for! Just as humans can understand each other, now it’s time for us and the ELS to do the same! I know we can do it! Captain Bright and his men have fought against the Vagans and Jovians in the past, but they’ve come this far! Let’s do it, Unicorn! We can’t let everyone’s prayers go to waste! Even when we were fighting on the Vajra homeworld, unexpected reinforcements arrived! I’m sure this will work out! This is the second seal of approval from your senior in conversing! Go forth, Setsuna!
Well then… If we’ve come this far, we’re almost there! Let’s take one more leap to protect the future, Chronos! Almost… We’re almost there! I’m counting on you, Setsuna! The end of this battle depends on your dialogue! What’s the matter? Now that they showed up, we have less prey to hunt.
That’s rich, coming from someone who was sweating profusely a moment ago. Huh? You’re one to talk. Your frown is four times harder than usual! … Tch. Those ELS are so noisy. I can’t stand it! They’ll stop fighting soon anyway! Just stay out of our way! What’s wrong with him? Just when I thought he died in style, he’s back like nothing happened… Don’t die! I need to talk to him properly!
Here, those with great strength and determination to overcome that long war have gathered.
This is the turning point! We will continue to advance through the hordes of ELS! Are you both ready!?
It’s too late to back out now, Falsaber!
The truth is, we don’t need to fight this battle! We need to clear up this misunderstanding!
We’ve reached the target point! Heading into the ELS core!
Guh!
…
Those assholes! They’re doing their best to stop him no matter what! In that case, we just have to push through them.
Rod?[Alarm]
Heh. It seems that a man’s will can overturn destiny itself… They made it in time! This reaction! I see… In that case!Kenji Kawai - Final Mission ~ Quantum Burst (timestamped for this BGM)
(TL Note: Here’s the BX version. It’s probably my second favorite licensed BGM in this game, following Galient’s theme)
Captain Wilder, I’ll clear the way! I’ll leave the path to the center to you!
Roger that! You’re… Young man! I, Graham Aker, will be the guide to the future you will open up!!
(TL Note: That yahooing white Valkyrie is Isamu Dyson from Macross Plus, making his cameo from the second Frontier movie)
Those are… The Macross Quarter’s sister ships!? Are they part of the combined fleet!?
There are a lot of them! But… Wow, they came all the way out here! I was a bit worried that I’d lose my bet, but it seems we’ve got the numbers now. Thank goodness. Wait, this is your doing? It’s all thanks to a prototype large-scale Fold Booster that I rushed to complete using my personal connections. With that, the combined fleet can barely make short-distance Folds, though the Vajra’s still got them beat. To bring an entire fleet here all on your own… How much did that cost you!? If this is the price to pay for the future of humanity, it’s pennies. Of course, there is also the aspect of atonement, but this is mostly just self-satisfaction. Makes sense… But… In any case, this should open the way to dialogue! ELS… Don’t hesitate, young man! ! I know you’re still feeling conflicted about how to deal with them! However, you were the one who told me to fight to live! To continue to exist even if it’s full of contradictions! Exactly! We are Celestial Being! We carve out the future! For tomorrow! Go, Setsuna! Grasp the new possibilities there!!
Show me your light! The feelings in your heart… Put them on your sword and reach the world that lies beyond your convictions! Sir Setsuna!! Roger!
Activating the Quantum System! The power of the ELS is unknown. Go full power! Roger!
QUANTUM BURST! This is the last mission! The survival of humanity is at stake! BEGINNING DIALOGUE!
[???]
I feel it… Yeah. This is…
Yes. It’s the will of the ELS. Dr. Shishioh… And…
I get it. The ELS were always trying to tell you their thoughts… Just like how I was trying to convey my feelings to my son, Guy. Yeah. I understand now… They were looking for a way to survive… Their home planet was dying… And so they set off on a long journey into outer space… At the end of their journey, they discovered a certain mysterious energy that you’re familiar with. The POWER… They tried to use The POWER to save their dying home planet… But they didn’t know how to use it. So they sought help… From people who share the same quantum brainwaves… And from us, BX, who has experience in utilizing The POWER… But they didn’t know… They thought that in order to understand other beings, they had to become one with them… By connecting… By becoming one… They were only trying to achieve mutual understanding…
I told you that everyone is struggling to survive.(Black box. ???)
It’s you guys… I see… You guys too… But somehow, we were unable to see eye-to-eye… The very fact that we have intelligence causes us to have misunderstandings over the smallest of things. This leads to lies… Discrimination against others… And then the inability to understand each other.
So change it…(???. Darkened)
In place of us, who couldn’t change…(Neil Dylandy. Gundam 00. CV: Shinichiro Miki) (Very dead)
Neil Dylandy… You’re the ones who can pull it off. You two have lived in the present and connect our feelings into the future… We just haven’t noticed… That’s why I have to show everyone how simple the world is!
[Jupiter Satellite Orbit]
The ELS have stopped moving!?
Any word from Setsuna or Tieria after they went to the core? Not yet! If anything happens, Mr. Arde would tell us immediately…(Phone)
Everyone… Look at that! What? The ELS are gathering… But that’s…
[Ra Cailum, Bridge]
A…flower…? It looks like all the ELS have stopped fighting and are heading there.(Phone)
That’s made out of ELS… Kujo and BX pulled it off… (It’s hard to believe, but somehow I can accept it… Are you watching from somewhere, Amuro?)
[Crocus, Bridge]
Hahahaha! I never thought I’d see impossible sights on the battlefield twice!(Phone)
We named our weapons, meant for fighting, after flowers as a final hope. But that flower represents something else… It is…(Phone) (TL Note: All the earth-side weapons in Nadesico are named after various flowers)
Words can’t describe it… It’s a little different from what I thought it would be, but…
[G Island, Urban Area]
They’re saying it’s footage from Jupiter! It’s amazing to think that such aliens exist!
This is coming from the federal army. Isn’t this just one of those “propaganda” lies?
Hehe. My older brother in GGG was talking about that alien! Apparently, they’re metallic aliens that eat humans! A-are they going to eat me!?
…Who knows? I think that flower is very beautiful.
Bau! If they can make a beautiful flower like that, they must be good aliens. Hehe. I wonder what other aliens there are in outer space.
[Zama Household, Living Room]
Aliens…
I’m sure it was Shou and his gang that did that. The son we abandoned…
…
[Machine Island, Hachiryokaku]
Fufufu… A flower blooming in the far-off heavens? That must be…
Are you going to call it a miracle from God? No.. It’s the result of those brave souls who keep moving forward. Isn’t that right, head of the Hachiryokaku?
Yes. See with your own eyes and make your own decisions. That is what will open up the path forward. And, someday, that will even extend to a great future…
[Jaaku Fortress, Surface]
I don’t understand… Why did those aliens take that form!? It would be so easy to destroy them!
I’m sure they just didn’t want to fight.
Why do you think that, Taida? …I’m not very smart, so I can’t explain it well… Lame! It’s totally lame! (I can’t explain it very well, but what is this vague feeling…)
[Union, Federal Space Agency Technical Research Institute]
(Kujo… You did great…) The ELS were trying to change through contact… Perhaps they were just trying to understand us, just like this… Huh!? M-Mina, you’re too close! I’ll change the future…and your feelings. Um... Well… Please be gentle…[Monitor turns on]
Katagiri! The ELS assimilation victims are… Oh, pardon me…(Phone)
N-no, it’s fine. What about the victims? It’s better if you see it for yourself.
Mi…cott… Ba…na…ger… Every…one…(Phone)
This is…
[Federal Parliament, Hallway]
Senator Marcenas, I heard that you strongly supported the dispatch of the combined fleet to the Jupiter Sphere. The reason we were able to achieve this was because the President, who was exploring the possibility of an appeasement policy, showed understanding. There were quite a few experts from the Vagans and Jovian Federation who agreed with us. I wasn’t the only one pushing for it. This is the first step towards peace among humanity… Can I report this to the public? No, that’s not true. It was the first step towards mutual understanding between humanity and those aliens. Fufu… Understood. I’ve thrust more hardships onto those kids. I wonder if we can start over. Humanity and the ELS I mean. We were once able to make peace with the Zentradi through the culture of music. And now, over there… Yeah… (I can see it, Setsuna… Your feelings…) (Yes… Just that alone will bring the world together…)
[Nadesico, Cafeteria]
I couldn’t have done this without everyone. Thank you.
Why bother saying that? Aren’t you tired of all this dialogue? That’s what we said too… You’ve really changed, Setsuna. You’re a lot softer than when we first met as Meisters. Whatever happened there, you did great, Setsuna. Sheryl was right! I can’t believe we became friends with the ELS! Fufu. Right? I’ve seen it, young man. The future you’ve grasped beyond the contradictions. Dare I say, it’s impressive. I could only do it due to your and Captain Jeffrey’s support. Thank you, Graham Aker. Heh… Tieria, did you return to your original body? Yes. The conversation with the ELS is over. I will continue to fight in the Raphael as before. The other Arde was cute, but I prefer the cooler, physical one!
Oh my… I’m glad Ian isn’t here.
Setsuna F. Seiei. I just want to confirm one thing about the ELS. I think I know. Is it about the ELS using The POWER to regenerate their home planet? Dad told me that The POWER isn’t an energy that can only do good. So… There’s no need to worry about that. I explained to them the dangers of The POWER and they understood.
I see. That’s fine. But if that’s the case, then what about the ELS? They came to us for help, right? I’m going to their home planet. ! I can communicate with them, and together, we’ll find a way for them to survive. I realized that is my reason to live.
The ELS’ planet is really far away, right? Does that mean we’re saying goodbye? … This is so sudden! Heh… Haven’t you guys learned by now not to jump to conclusions? Eh? Our world is still distorted thanks to the invaders from other worlds. The ELS understands that. So then… You're going to stay with us for a while longer? Yes. Ah…
What!? You should have started with that! Of course we’d misunderstand!
Don’t lump us all together with “we”. Us adults knew what he was getting at. Hehe… (I’m glad we didn’t have to say goodbye so soon, Ms. Grace.) (Yeah… If we can be together even just a little bit longer…)
Not only were we able to repel the Primevals, but we were able to successfully converse with the ELS. And through this battle, Earth, Vagan, and Jupiter have made great strides towards peace. It’s amazing. Youta, I have something to tell you and Falsaber. That’s one reason why I came here. To us? Through our conversation with the ELS, we learned about them and their home planet. We picked up something interesting. One of the Guardian Points “existed” on their planet. Eh?
[Susanoo, Main Order Room]
I see… So there was a Guardian Point on the ELS’ home planet… It seems that with the death of their planet, the Guardian Point that was there was released. I can’t believe it was released long before Falsaber woke up… Now I get it. The Gravity Reactor on Machine Island wasn’t the only reason we were being affected by other worlds.
At that point, one of the Guardian Points was already released, so the Boundary was beginning to become unstable, right? Yes. Most likely. But that’s a problem… There weren’t three Guardian Points left, but two. We’re several steps behind in dealing with the Points.
We don’t know where they are, so we can’t take the initiative. Falsaber, Bruvictor, is there some way you can find the location of the Points? My apologies… Unfortunately, that’s beyond our capabilities. There’s no point in apologizing. We’re not blaming you for anything. From what we’ve heard about the past, you were on the verge of death. We can’t blame you for that. If there were people who were there when the Points were created, they might know something… What would be difficult. It was tens of thousands of years ago. They’d be long dead.
Anyway, are there really only two Guardian Points left?
Yeah. It’s a shame that the one on the ELS’ planet is long gone. I can’t guarantee there are two left, but I can say with certainty that they all haven’t been released yet. I still have the Power of the Boundary within me.
In that case, the only Guardian Point we know still exists is… Right. The one on Earst. But if things continue as they are, those Guardian Points will fall into the enemy’s hands.(Black box. ???)
Who goes there!?[A flash of light as a magical projection appears]
Hurry, warriors of another world. The ruins that sank to the bottom of the sea have resurfaced.
It’s you! Golden Knight… I heard from Sir Knight Alex that you came to this world, but… That projection is a magical illusion… What do you have to tell us? The Zeon Clan and their allies are conducting a secret operation. They’re trying to teleport to Earst. Are you saying that Mardoul is trying to go back to Earst!?
But how!? You said sunken ruins, right? Do you mean Austral Island? Did the island resurface!? Did you forget? The island was sunk to isolate it from the outside world. There’s no way it’ll resurface anytime soon. And even if they try to teleport to Earst, the power source for the teleportation device should no longer be there.
That’s not necessarily true… Seric? An energy that makes this possible that Mardoul knows about… From this, we can deduce that…
Oh no… Your guess is correct. The Zeon Clan and Mardoul used the power of The POWER to teleport to Earst.
[Jupiter Satellite Orbit]
… The POWER… Infinite power… Gate… Confirmed in the Ilastant Solar System…
According to Versal Knight Gundam, he fought the Zeon Clan several times, so he’s unlikely to be an enemy.
Some of the bigwigs on Earth are worried that they’ll come back in full force.
I know how they feel, but the fact that they’re no longer ignoring troublesome matters is a sign that upper management is changing.
…
Marvel…
Adults have to do things elegantly.
Okay…
Eh?
The world trembles… Earst… I can feel the Crescent Galaxy… I’ve finally returned to Earst… This has been a long journey…
Surrender, King Vorder. If you are wise, you should have realized that you’ve lost this battle. Even though you are the enemy, it would be a shame to kill a man like you. Join me.
Never, Mardoul! In the 3,000 year history of the Vorder family, we have never once surrendered! As the man who built peace and prosperity in this land, I will continue to fight, even if I must fight alone!
…
There is nothing standing in the way of Your Majesty now. That much is clear from the battle we just witnessed.
Not well enough for the next phase… I think we’re acting too early.
…It’s a shame, Your Majesty. You will never meet your next enemy.
Don’t move, Mardoul! Hy Shaltat! We have already taken over the Treasury!
As long as we stay on Earst, the ACA won’t interfere. This is for our eternal glory.
You were Lord Mardoul’s companions from distant stars. That’s why he…
Our pact with the King of Conquerors has yet to be abolished.
Suffer.
A heart stained with fear…
Is this… White Valley?
*Cries*
On it!
Me too!
Jojo… Everyone, you’ve returned…
I’d like to hear about what happened here.
…
Apologies for making you relive that terrifying moment. We’re grateful.
In an instant… Mardoul destroyed the Valley in an instant…
What can we possibly do against someone like that…
Stop it, Jin!
Jojo?
In place of the late Azuves, I can vouch that Prince Jordy is a man of equal caliber to the late King Vorder.
Mmm… I don’t know how the people will take it, but even so…
…
Hey! Where are you going, Hilmuka!?
Jojo… I’m sure he has his own thoughts about seeing his home destroyed…
He must be desperate to live up to his father’s name.
It will be a decisive battle.
Nay. The only one who can command me is me. You will be silent.
Black Knight, you’re merely a wanderer we picked up. Don’t meddle in our army.
We must retake that location! Captain, give us the order to sortie!
Okay! BX, launch!
Remember, our enemy has The POWER! We don’t know what they’ll do with it. Everyone, please be cautious and take appropriate action!
Luca, Klan, I think this might be the last time we fight him.
I sure hope so. They say people like him are the ones who hang onto life like cockroaches.
But he's done for. You’d better pay off your debts before that happens. Don’t forget the generous late fee!
Black Knight, stop bothering Shou!
The Black Knight’s Aura power has increased even more since Austral Island…
He’s going Hyper!?
Impressive… Shou Zama…
What!?
You’re a fool for abandoning that grudge. You’re just a human after all.
Of course!
New enemy reaction confirmed! It’s Brudistars!
Final code from Lady Divoti confirmed. Executing the final mission.
The Brudistars!
What’s he doing!?
Versal Knight Gundam… Got hit on purpose?
!?
How boorish. Who the hell interrupted the duel!?
Infinite Power!? Does he have The POWER!?
BIG ZAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!
Is he the one who brought The POWER to this planet!?
Is that right!?
For real!? We can’t trust him!
It’s different from Burn…
What an obvious rival character…
There’s no point in complaining! Right now, we need to defeat Big Zam!
Hey, something’s wrong!
GAAAAAAH!
I’m sorry, Yuki…
Yes. I’ll do my best for you, Yuki.
But to sacrifice your life to free the Guardian Point… What loyalty…
The reason he gave his life wasn’t just to free that Point.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I am the true ruler of Saddrac World!
Is that Siegzeon’s true form!?
Correct. Siegzeon’s real body was sealed away long ago by someone using the power of a Guardian Point.
You’re here, Divoti…
What was that for, Siegzeon?
I thought he died!
Did he raise the dead!? That’s…
But that’s not important! Our goal has always been to slay Siegzeon!
I wonder if we can seal him away too…
The leader of the Zeon Clan… It seems he’s not just for show…
Those guys… They’re being reckless!
…
I told you already! I helped you only to save my father since he became one with Versal Knight Gundam!
Yuki…
Don’t be afraid. Just come outside already!
…
Who’s that woman?
Where am I…
Uoozben, I have read your report regarding Mardoul’s return to the Crescent Galaxy and his domination.
A report. A warp phenomenon caused by a Space Transfer Base has been confirmed on Earst.
We have finally come to a decision.
It seems the inhabitants are living like emotionless robots.
I agree with the woman. What’s the point of a life without attachments?
…
…
I’ll help you out!
Please run away quickly. If you hesitate, you’ll end up dead like those people over there.
Even though that man uses the word “paradise”, his objective is the opposite of Lord Ezelcant’s…
There’s no doubt about it! It seems that people in other places are starting to change too!
Things are going as they planned… This is no laughing matter…
Your Majesty! There’s an abnormality about 10 parsecs away! Approximately 7,000 objects have appeared from jump space! They’re approaching in formation!
A greater battle? What are you talking about?
Wait a minute! Did you just say it will erase entire stars!? What kind of weapon is that!?
So he’s already secured some of The POWER for himself, huh!?
I’m impressed and outsmarted. He thought that far ahead.
However, these actions will only serve as the foundation for our ascension to a Machine World!
Oh no! The POWER!
The Arm Primeval!? He’s here too!?
INTRUSION REACTION DETECTED. THE LOCATION IS…
Master Program fusion… Completed.
The gravitational waves stopped!? Is that because of the ES Window!?
It seems an incredible monster has awakened…
We’ve detected a massive influx in ZO Particles!
…
Jojo!?
Give us a role too…
I want to save this planet… My friends…
Of course! You guys have to protect your own planet! We’ll lend you as much power as you need to do that!
This is The POWER! Will you lend us your strength once more!?
I’m sure it’s a response to the courage of the people of this planet!
Believe in victory!
Someone who possessed the power of The POWER and has regenerated into a complete being is extremely powerful!
But we are members of GGG! No matter how difficult the situation is, we will never give up! This is the power of courage! Let us teach you that it transcends limits!
DESTROY Z-MASTER. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WE’VE SURVIVED UNTIL TODAY.
I have no intention of thinking about the future yet! Right now, I will devote all my energy to destroy you, Z-Master!
Even though I have to live with the shame of you treating me like a puppet, I have continued to live! I must continue to live! Now is the time to avenge you on behalf of every single warrior who died in the Trinary Solar System!
It’s true! I’m detecting a slight disturbance!
Even if we merge with machines, that can hardly be called evolution! I know that from experience!
…
…
All right! Let’s go, J!
This is pointless. My body has already been repaired. You won’t be getting any more reinforcements.
Kaidou!
It appears that all Zonder Metal Plants throughout Lanplate have ceased functioning!
(Let’s meet again someday… Warriors of the J-Jewel…)
What!?
We already have Hilmuka, but in regards to aliens, the more the merrier!
(Heh, Rod… Looks like you taught the Prince something he didn’t need to know.)
Jojo…
Huh? Do you really think he’s still alive?
Mom… MOM!!
Finally with his mother…
Well, you are dressed kinda suspiciously…
You’ve been to Japan a few times, but we never had time to go into the city, right?
Jojo, are you sure about this? You finally got to meet your mom…
Oh… I guess that’s a form of sightseeing… I hope Minato is okay.
Ahaha…
Hey, Shiro. What store is that?
That’s a plastic model shop. They sell kits based on Mazinger, Gundams, and Valkyries!
Hey! Everyooooone! There’s a lot of people around here, so please don’t wander off… Hey, Yoppa! Don’t walk while eating!
Shame the super very long haired hunk isn’t with you.
See, we were able to run into your friends after all, Mamoru.
Hey, Mamoru. I got a question for ya…
Mic, you’re gonna cause a scene if you come here.
I don’t mind. In fact, I wanted to properly express my gratitude. Thanks to the ELS issue being resolved, Louise isn’t troubled by unknown quantum brainwaves anymore.
Belzeb… Do you understand my frustration?
They key to our invasion of the Third Dimension… We’ve lost most of our Akudamas and we still haven’t been able to beat them…
Lord Belzeb, Lady Falzeb… Did you know the location of the final Guardian Point!?
If they knew about it, they would have released it a long time ago. We lucked out.
…
ZONUDAAAAAAA…
Communication with Orbit Base has been lost!
There’s no point in apologizing, Goldymarg…
Our G-Stones were only barely able to avoid being sublimated…
And our Super AIs are intact…for now…
…
Please, Chief… Let us…
GAOOOOOOOO!
Your Majesty, I’m doing as you commanded! I, Hy Shaltat, will serve you well! And I’ll be waiting for the day you return!
I banished it to subspace.
Right now, its presence is a nuisance.
Why are you hesitating!? In any case, if we don’t defeat him, we won’t be able to fight that new Zonder, right!?
Jaaku Beasts too!?
Mr. Shinoda?
The surrounding buildings!
It transformed them into robots… Is it something more than machine world ascension or material sublimation?
Everyone, entrust your lives to me!
Mikoto is so kind. I know she’s crying right now! Even if I’m a useless robot, I’ll protect everyone I love! Absolutely! I’ll absolutely protect them!
…
Damn you Z-Master! You left an incredible parting gift!
It’s moving again…
If we die… We do it together…
Ugh…
Welcome back, Mikoto…
The Carpenters are ready!
I see! Kio’s father never knew about this!
Captain, this is…
Hahaha… Has Warusar finally descended into this world?
…When we destroy the Boundary and return the world to the way it should be… When all that’s said and done, will I be able to remain by your side?
If the scouts are correct, it appears that BX has fallen for one of their plots! We’ll fill the void they left behind! GOOOOOOOOO!
Lord Warusar… No. Warusar!
Chief! Reinforcements from the Fifth Dimensional Empire have arrived! Adding them to our attack targets!
I’ve fallen in love with the people of this world!
You claim I’m supposed to be dead? What a stupid thing to say, Yuu. You must have been dreaming about this BX and Gorg thing.
Banagher, read the room. That’s not what we’re talking about.
I don’t really want to, but we have to take Youta to the hospital.
Don’t you get it? We were lying to you.
Hahahaha! We tricked you into coming here and you still believe us!?
I’ve heard that His Majesty does not question the origins of the strong. I, the hero Azuves, will use my abilities for His Majesty’s sake.
You’re delusional.
H-hey…
I’m glad you didn’t lose heart, child of Earth…
*Singing*
I know… We won’t lose sight of the reason we’ve been fighting… The reason we’re in this world… That’s because we are…
Guh!
Raising your hand against your family? What are you thinking, Koji!?
Return immediately! Lieutenant Leon Sakaki! You haven’t been given permission to launch!
We’ve just launched a pursuit force! If you won’t follow orders, we’ll shoot you down!
Youta!
I’ll say it again and again! I… We will defeat you with Raijin-Oh!
Gwaaaaah!
…You probably will never understand…
Silence! I’ve been fighting so long… I’ve been fighting too long to be killed by you!
Raijin-Oh! We’ll buy you time for your counterattack!
God Raijin-Oh’s energy is at 200%!
Wonderful…
GAH!
What do you mean!?
Right now, we’re in a very unique situation.
Now that I think of it, Tsubasa’s belly has been a bit…
Hmm. This place seems a bit dusty…
Humans aren’t that all knowing. Neither are Innovators or Newtype. Even if you have the intuition, it won’t help you when it really matters.
The next race is featuring Valkyries, right?
But Valkyries aren’t common on Earth. Where could they be getting them from…
…Don’t tell me you signed up our Valkyries!?
Aisha, you have to show your womanly spirit.
Mina, come with me for a moment.
Hi!
Everyone, are you excited!?
A valkyrie who truly serves the God of Light! She’s dazzling!
If you say you’re not excited, I can see your nose getting longer.
Ranka… How lovely…
It would have been great if we weren’t on night duty tonight.
I bet everyone who went to town ate loads of delicious food.
We’re getting to that.
We have fewer enemies left. They must no longer feel the need to have a flexible force.
Daitetsujin can become Space Daitetsujin! This is the chance to make that dream a reality!
There’s always truth mixed in with fiction, so they’re surprisingly fun to read.
It’s been a while, Kio…
Heh… It’s like you’ve seen a ghost. Not that I’m happy about that or anything.
I refuse to admit that we were defeated by someone who’s shaken by something like this.
Let’s once again walk the path of domination. I see several of our former allies are also here.
You destroyed the Master Program? I highly doubt that.
Yuu. I will annihilate humanity in order to survive.
That’s right! This is the holy war we’ve been seeking! A battle to seize tomorrow!
It’s foolish to seek a reason for this battle!
I, Dr. Hell, will make you suffer in hell!
Kekeke! DIIIIIEEEEEEEE!
…
But Drake Luft was telling the truth.
Ugh… Damn you, Third Dimensioners…
W-wait! Major!
!!
…
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
A lone warrior, huh…
So you were aware of my presence, Valgeass…
Watch out! Run away!
This is bad! The entire world has begun to come under attack from a mixed force of unknown affiliation!
The fact that everyone’s still fighting is proof enough!
Hehe. Are you trying to tell me not to be swept away by a fleeting dream?
You showed us and now I understand… Luu’s death was nothing more than a blip in the universe…
Bau!
A wish can make the impossible possible!
…
