You're a lot closer to Homura now!
I swear I'll take you to her!
I've got my own Ether Gear now!
A scumbag like you
deserves punishment by my master's sword.
Master…
Once again, you came to my rescue.
This Kurenai Dragoon…
held at bay by a mere mortal?
Drakken Joe's ship is approaching!
Curse it! I don't have time to fight this little nobody!
I must confer divine punishment onto Drakken for stealing Oculus Kurenai!
Raising power output to maximum!
Show me your true power!
Kurenai Dragoon!
Where are you even aiming?
I'm buying time until I can get a lock on you.
Blow him to bits!
Queen Nova!
Fire!
SOMEONE TO LOVE
It's futile!
Queen Nova never misses its target!
Then I'll lure it into a wall
and dodge at the last moment!
That should pulverize it…
I hate to break it to you,
but they don't stop until they strike the target!
I see.
Then how about this?
What?
If you plan on dodging at the last second again, don't bother!
Kurenai Dragoon's armor can't be damaged even by its own weapons!
But I damaged it with my own fist.
What?
I won't dodge them.
I'll use them to power me!
He's letting the missiles hit him?
No! He's holding them back with gravity!
He's converting the missiles' kinetic energy into gravity?
Gravity's gonna crush you!
That's not possible!
How can he focus all that power on a single spot?
Magimech Attack…
Gravity Impact!
Impossible…
How could a mere human demolish Kurenai Dragoon?
Are you really even…
a human?
Wait!
Look! The Punishers…
They've shut down.
Wow! Did we beat them?
Anime will save the universe.
But…
Can I save anyone?
What caused this all of a sudden?
Nino turned them off for us.
Who is that bearded old screwball anyway?
He is a famous B-Cuber.
I don't think he's really that old.
Everyone, I'm very sorry.
If I had joined the fight sooner,
we may not have suffered as much damage.
-That isn't your fault, Homura. -But--
-No way! -Look at that!
-Hey! -Shiki!
-Master! -Where are your clothes?
This is what Valkyrie wanted, right?
To bring this woman to you.
That's Madame Kurenai!
-What's she doing here? -What the heck's going on?
Homura…
Mother?
That boy captured her?
Who the heck is that kid?
Well done, boy!
We'll get her for what she's done!
Vengeance for Valkyrie!
Not just that! Let's get vengeance for everything she's done to us!
You're coming with us!
You lived the good life from our labor!
-Leave me be! -You'll pay!
Hold on, guys.
Why don't you let Homura decide what to do with her?
What?
Why should we?
This boy is the one who brought Madame Kurenai here.
We should let him have some say in what happens.
Paul…
Besides, Homura is Valkyrie's number-one disciple
as well as Madame Kurenai's daughter.
She has plenty of rights to decide her fate.
But we also suffered.
No, that makes sense.
-Let's leave it to her. -Old man!
Since we're leaving it to you, we expect you to do it responsibly.
Don't go and forgive her out of pity.
We will honor your decision.
Is everyone okay with that?
Okay.
Homura…
You look just like I did when I was young.
My, how you've grown.
Won't you please untie me?
Allow me to hold you in my arms.
Please say something, Homura.
I admit I've made a lot of mistakes.
But I never once forgot you, not even for a second.
What is that?
My mother gave it to me.
I always keep it with me to make sure she will be able to find me.
Do you not remember this?
What? Well, I…
It is the one thing that connects you and me.
But it appears even that has been severed.
What are you doing, Homura?
Please calm down!
I am your mother, you know!
You must not make any rash decisions!
Help me!
Please! I don't want to die yet!
Those who died because of you
surely must have felt the same way.
No!
Homura…
You are forgiving me?
My! Such a kind girl you are!
It is not because I forgive you.
What?
Nor is it because I do not forgive you.
I have no interest in you.
I thank you for bringing me into this world.
However,
I have no other feelings for you besides that.
My master believed that I needed a mother, so she searched for you.
However,
it was not a mother that I needed.
I simply needed someone to love.
Though you may be my mother,
since I do not love you, I do not need you.
Though she was not related to me and even though she was a machine…
Since I love her, she is the one I needed.
To me, Valkyrie was
the one I loved and needed.
Therefore,
I harbor no anger, malice, or sympathy toward you.
And so, I would prefer that you depart here without delay.
And…
I request, with all my heart,
that you stay entirely out of my life forever.
What a pushover of a daughter!
Did she think I'd let something like this hold me back?
Take that!
Hey, old hag!
It's so nice to see you again.
That voice…
Take her away.
Hey! She's way hotter than you said!
-Damn right! -Stop! Leave me be!
Don't you know who I am--
You're a crazy old hag.
And from now on, you're our pet.
I think this is what's called karmic retribution.
You sure know some fancy words, Cedric!
Don't…
"Don't," she says!
No!
If this doll represents my connection with my mother,
then I wish for you to have it.
You were my master, my friend,
and my mother.
Thank you for all you have done for me…
Mother.
Thanks to the deeds of Shiki and his friends,
the people of Sun Jewel's labor district were set free.
Under their new leader who replaced Madame Kurenai,
a large number of laborers continue to work, but as free people.
The planet will become famous among adventurers
as a treasure hunting location, breeding prosperity for ages to come.
Oops!
I revealed a little too much about the future.
Let's get back to the present.
After the battle with Madame Kurenai, Shiki and his crew returned to Edens Zero.
They had to inform the Four Shining Stars of Valkyrie's death.
Mos!
Why didn't you bring back Valkyrie's body?
My master is…
a symbol of hope for the people of that land.
Bring her back! This is her home!
If I had her body, I could have healed her!
My powers might have healed her!
Oh, that's right!
All our memories, thoughts, and personality information
are backed up in cloud storage, right?
We could rebuild Valkyrie if we restore that data!
But it would no longer be Valkyrie.
She'd have the same memories and personality!
Of course it would be Valkyrie!
Strictly speaking, I must say that you are incorrect.
We cannot reconstruct neurotransmitters such as endorphins and dopamine.
In other words, even with the same memories,
she would have lost the joy she felt during her time with Homura.
But it's better than letting her die!
She is already dead.
Then what's the point of those backups?
To correct unforeseeable errors or repair partial damage.
Not to overcome death.
Hey, Shiki!
You're the one with the final say on this ship!
Tell this heartless crone who's right!
There were a few too many words that I didn't understand just now.
What are "endorstages"?
What?
Master, you're confusing "endorphins" and "cloud storage."
I don't really get all that complicated stuff.
But long ago, Grandpa told me this.
We bots also die just like humans do.
Exactly because we can die, we appreciate what life means.
We don't have the same lifespan as humans,
so we may attach a different value to life.
But since we both have that same life,
we have hearts.
So…
We have to accept it.
The death of our friend
is proof that she had a heart.
Shiki is correct.
We must press on.
You and my master once strove to find Mother.
If we require the Four Shining Stars to do it…
Then I will become Valkyrie.
Homura…
But can a non-android be one of the Four Shining Stars?
There is no rule about it.
Mos…
You were hoping for the job?
A very heartening offer, Lady Homura.
I do not know if I can replace my master.
But if it was Valkyrie's mission to take this ship to Mother,
then I…
It's not her mission.
We were relieved from our mission 15 years ago.
We're here of our own free will.
Me too.
Wait, Sister!
Please allow me to handle her.
Looking forward to working with you, Valkyrie!
You're taking over as Valkyrie, right?
But inheriting the name of my master would be too much pressure!
Then how about a different name?
Sounds good!
Let's think of a name for you
when you're officially the second-generation Valkyrie!
Give us a name worthy of a rad vid!
Then how about Valkyrie the Second or Valkyrie Junior?
Those are pretty ordinary.
-I know! "Homukyrie." -You just combined them!
Let's see… How about "Vahomurie"?
Why are you combining them?
Sashimi boat Valkyrie! Ikizukuri Homura!
She's not a fish.
Homura.
Valkyrie is no longer here.
So Homura should just be Homura.
Yes.
That settles it! Mosco will replace her!
Were you even listening?
How's this for her new outfit?
Extreme increase in adrenaline in Master and Mr. Weisz detected.
-Fine, I will wear that. -You will, Homura?
-Awesome! -She doesn't need a new outfit!
A decoy, huh?
You really got us, Edens Zero.
So the ship we've been chasing was a hologram, huh?
I wonder when they made the switch.
It may have been that way from the start.
Either way, it seems they've noticed our presence.
So what shall we do? Looks like they've gotten away.
I've got a good idea where they're headed.
We gave that giant warship the slip.
But I'm sure they've already realized that it was a decoy.
She loved this deck since it has such a good view of the stars.
Indeed.
Every time she got hurt in battle, I fixed her up.
Indeed.
I never knew how painful it was to lose a comrade.
Indeed.
How can you be so calm and…
I envy Hermit.
She's able to express her many emotions so frankly.
When it's just the two of us, there's nothing wrong with
letting ourselves cry.
From Shiki's departure on his adventure to the birth of a new Four Shining Star…
We have witnessed it all.
Let us have a brief intermission here.
However, this is just the beginning of the adventures of Shiki and his friends.
They will battle Drakken Joe, one of the Oración Seis Galáctica,
who is after Edens Zero.
And who exactly is Captain Connor,
the man who calls himself captain of Edens One?
And will Edens Zero make it through Dragonfall
and eventually arrive at Mother?
The story is headed for even greater climaxes.
What about all of you?
I have seen it.
It will not be long before we shall meet again.
Let us look forward to that time.
For now, let us watch as Shiki and his friends
encounter further adventures.
Grandpa. I've made a ton of awesome friends!
Rebecca.
Happy.
Weisz.
Pino.
Homura.
Witch.
Sister.
Hermit.
Mosco. The old man.
And Valkyrie.
Awesome, huh?
I'll make 100 friends across the cosmos!
So let's go
to where even Grandpa couldn't go!
We're headed for Mother!
Edens Zero, blast off!
The boy and his friends have begun their journey.
What will they bring upon our universe?
Will Shiki become a legendary hero?
Or will he wreak havoc as a Demon King?
The adventure begins.
It's all up to you.
