IN PREVIOUS EPISODES
[Aktha] How do you expect to get home?
So to get back…
AKTHA - KHEIT
[Hana, in Upananta] Upananta…
Dragons…
-[groans] -[Aktha, in Japanese] It's like I said.
[in Upananta] Wait!
[in Japanese] You're useless.
[Supes, in Upananta] Remember.
Save Upananta.
[in Japanese] So that's what it's about.
Something feels different when I'm with you.
Let's go! All of us.
[Nagi, Mame shriek]
You're Nagi, aren't you?
[Supes] You want to know how to get back?
[in Upananta] I need to hurry.
[in Japanese] Keep your wits about you.
Jairo must be close.
Thank you.
-That'll be all then. -What?
I can take it from here.
Have you got a death wish?
-[dragon roars] -[gasps]
[groans]
Jairo!
[gasps] Why can't I hear his voice?
[Saila] Quick! Run while you can!
You can't listen to Jairo's voice.
He's not your average guy.
I didn't come all this way to jump ship now!
-I won't ask again. Get out of my way! -[gasps]
Long time no see, right?
Do you
remember who I am?
-Don't tell me you've forgotten. -[Melpons chittering]
Maur's death. My father vanishing.
[chittering continues]
Time to settle this once and for all.
[Melpons cheer]
I'm going to meet the Creator.
[Jairo gasps]
Could you really be
Supes's daughter,
Saila?
Dragons of Wonderhatch
[person] Listen, Sister.
The Creator of this world is alive somewhere in the Outside of KOTOWARI.
KOTOWARI and Iido have started to die, and it's all the Creator's fault.
The Creator decides on everything in this world.
All happiness. All pain.
[grunts] Ouch.
[Saila] The crest of the Cult of Baraj Kasam.
What Father said was true then.
Get off me!
You shouldn't listen to the teachings of paganism!
Why won't you believe me?
It's all true.
It's no good.
It's been difficult to hear your voice for a while.
How is that possible…
[crowd chanting]
[chanting continues]
[Saila shudders]
[Supes] That's enough.
What are you saying? More wild fantasies?
You wouldn't understand.
You are my son.
I understand you more than anyone--
-I'm not like you, Father! -[gasps]
They're not wild fantasies.
Why won't you understand?
Maur!
[person] Don't do this.
[person 2] Please stop, stop!
-[crowd murmurs] -[person 3 screams]
[person 4] The Outside of KOTOWARI…
[person 5] The Outside of KOTOWARI doesn't exist.
[crowd gasping, screaming]
-[person 6] Stop! -[person 7] No!
You are all making a mistake.
One day, you will understand that.
We are subjected to oppression by the people of Upananta!
May evil fall upon them.
[crowd gasps]
Maur!
Maur! Maur!
[Maur] Do not mourn for us.
We are going to the Creator's world.
-Maur! Stop! Don't do it! -Don't go, Father!
Maur! Stop! Maur!
Don't! Maur!
Maur!
[gasps, screams]
[breathes heavily]
[gasps]
[crowd sobbing]
[muffled sobbing]
[Supes] As uneasiness spreads, there will be more victims like Maur.
Huh?
We must go to Pytonpyt.
Katars!
Father!
[shouting]
Father!
[shouts]
[screams]
POTATO CHIPS
[Saila] What's that?
Is this from the Outside of KOTOWARI?
Everything has changed.
I spent time considering the Outside of KOTOWARI,
and came to my senses.
[Jairo] Even my rivals come to me eventually.
Jairo, send me.
[Jairo] You too? Chasing wild fantasies all over again.
No one can say whether they're fantasies or not.
That's what I'm going to figure out.
Release Bonz's power.
[Jairo] Get lost.
[Saila] Okay, then. Have it your way.
Hmm?
These Melpons were raised at the bottom of the ocean.
-[Melpons chittering] -They have other uses to dragons.
[Melpon roars]
Even in Upananta, there are outcasts among outcasts.
Just like me.
[growling]
[roaring]
[Jairo gasps]
[strains] I can't move.
[roars]
When it comes to seawater, even dragons are powerless.
[Jairo] Unbelievable.
[Saila shouts]
-[music playing on speakers] -[Thaim] Is he from Upananta too?
That's Renil.
ONODA
[Thaim] Really? Renil the Red Thunder?
And that's Askad over there.
[Thaim] Askad the Blue Hailstorm! The one Kheit always admired.
KIMURA
Amazing!
You're amazing too.
Me?
You're the only one who made it here with a dragon.
You should be proud.
From today, you're one of us.
[high-pitched ringing]
[groaning]
-[ringing continues] -[gasping]
[Supes] Has someone else arrived?
You're Nagi, aren't you?
Yes.
[gasps]
Your mother painted this, didn't she?
Yes.
[gasps]
Thaim came here too?
Yes.
But he's not here right now.
Has anyone else come?
No.
I see.
[gasps]
Wow.
Looks like we landed a weirdo this time.
Isn't she wearing GAP?
-True. -[chuckles]
GIGANTIC TORNADO WISDOM OF OUTCASTS
What's this mean?
How did you know my name?
Nagi, I want to meet your mother.
Will you cooperate?
What?
[Saila] Tell me where she is.
I can't.
My mother is dead.
Oh, is that how it is? [laughs]
Don't laugh. What's amusing about it?
Your mother…
is alive.
-Watch your step. -Ready, steady, go.
Go!
-Thank you very much! -Thank you very much.
-Was that fun? -Yes, I want to go again.
-Yes, let's go again! -Okay.
[Supes] This is the house you've been staying at.
2020/2/1 - SUTON 2022/6/21 - AKTHA
The Creator should be there.
The Creator?
The one who invented Upananta.
You've never heard of it?
Invented?
I once
tried to touch Ancient KOTOWARI.
The stories dreamt up by a human of this world are what created us.
[no audible dialogue]
And now, the Creator
is delivering tragedy to Upananta.
As long as the Creator exists,
the destruction will never end.
KHEIT - AKTHA
Can it be true?
The Creator must be here.
No.
I was told she was already dead.
There is no doubt that the Creator still lives.
We need to track her down.
I'm home!
What's going on?
[gasps]
You're Taichi, aren't you?
[gasps]
-That's right. -Wow.
[in Upananta] I don't believe it.
[in Japanese] Excuse me, but who are you?
[Saila] It's really you!
Who is this?
I'm Nagi's friend.
Saila.
Taira?
[scoffs]
So this is that other boy's sister?
Yes, yes. Exactly.
Was there something you wanted to discuss?
Hana is still alive, isn't she?
What?
Don't give me, "What?"
[sighs]
Who is this person?
[scoffs]
Why do the humans of this world never say what they're thinking?
Hana is no longer with us.
I see how it is.
Taichi is defending the lies he told you.
He doesn't want to talk.
Who do you think you are? Listen here--
I know you know the truth.
You just choose to turn the other way.
Taichi does, and so do you.
I won't deceive myself about what I saw.
My brother died.
My father vanished.
I accepted it for what it was.
So that I could move forward.
[Hana] Never forget.
One day, when your imagination…
[Taichi] Nagi!
[Mame] Nagi?
[Taichi] Nagi, can you hear me?
-I'll get some ice. -[Mame] Okay.
Nagi?
Can you wake up?
The sound cicadas make is red!
[Hana] Is that so?
Your voice is a beautiful blue, like the sky.
Really? [chuckles]
Mama, am I weird?
You and Papa can't see the colors…
You have a powerful imagination.
It's a really wonderful talent.
You really think so?
Imagination opens the doors to the world!
[gasps]
[pants]
[Taichi] Are you okay?
Fine.
Don't do too much.
Why don't you go to your room and get some rest?
Dad?
Yes?
I knew.
Nagi.
I knew that Mom didn't die.
But maybe I was protecting myself by believing she was gone.
Even though really, I wanted her to be alive.
[inhales deeply]
[sighs]
That's right.
You knew all along.
[sniffles]
[inhales deeply]
In the end…
I was wrong.
[gate creaking]
[chuckles]
Thaim!
We were worried about you. Where've you been?
I…
I have something I want to ask you, Nagi.
[Nagi] Sorry, can it wait?
I'm about to go and meet my mother.
[in Upananta] What?
[in Japanese] You, assistant, where've you been?
[in Upananta] Saila?
Is Upananta safe?
Tenchut is crumbling.
It's nearly the end.
[sighs]
I can't believe it…
There's no time for your surprise.
Let's go to meet the Creator.
Wait here.
Listen, Guphin.
Tell Supes where I'm going.
You'll know where I am.
There was nothing we could do.
This is the only option left.
Please, Guphin.
[growling]
[Melpons clamoring]
[breathes heavily]
-[groans, grunts] -[dragon roars]
[shouts]
[Jairo grunts]
[both grunt]
[in Japanese] I'm Kheit, from the Aktha Airborne Brigade!
I'm here to kill you on Aktha's behalf!
Save the world!
[Jairo groans]
[Kheit gasps]
What is this thing?
I am a descendant of the Rashasi tribe.
Our kind once lived with the sea.
The tribe that died out?
It's this guy's fault that Aktha…
I'll kill you.
I'll make you understand the suffering of Upananta's people!
I understand the suffering of your people all too well.
Even if you kill me, the collapse will not end.
What do you mean?
Let me explain.
[gasps] Jairo's voice!
[Jairo] The will of the world as I saw it that day.
10 YEARS EARLIER
[Supes sighs]
With this much of KOTOWARI, we could save tens of thousands of people.
Hey, Jairo!
[Jairo] Yes?
Could that be…
KOTOWARI?
[Jairo] I've heard of this.
This must be Ancient KOTOWARI.
Ancient KOTOWARI?
[both grunt]
[both gasp]
[both panting]
[Jairo] This is the will of Pytonpyt.
If we had touched it for a moment longer, we would have lost our sanity.
Is this world going to fall to ruin?
[Jairo] It would seem so.
The Creator.
[Jairo] The Creator?
That's not what that was.
What?
They're not wild fantasies.
Why won't you understand?
We are going to the Creator's world.
[gasps]
Now I see.
[laughing]
Maur was right!
There is a world where the Creator exists!
[Jairo gasps] Supes?
This is the path that Maur showed me.
If we kill the Creator, we will survive!
-[grunts] -[laughing]
This power.
If I can harness this power for myself…
[Jairo gasps, grunts]
Everything is the will of Pytonpyt.
I cannot let you pass.
Move out of the way.
[Jairo screams]
[grunts]
You're the weakest of the whole Airborne Brigade!
You thought you could stop me?
[pants] You've lost your mind, Supes.
Do not oppose the will of God!
God is an illusion.
It's just a trap set by the Creator!
[Jairo] We will perish with Upananta.
That is the fate given to us.
Oh, please.
Katars!
[Jairo gasps] Bonz!
Do you really want to fight?
Your dragon's only skill is being sturdy. What's it gonna do?
[Jairo] Is there no end to this guy's arrogance?
What's going on?
Why are Supes and Jairo fighting?
This is the end!
Katars!
-[Jairo gasps, screams] -[Bonz roars]
[chuckles]
What's that?
[Jairo] We have been given new powers and new responsibilities.
I will extinguish anyone who tries to obstruct the will of Pytonpyt.
What madness is this?
[Jairo] We will perish with Upananta.
That is our fate.
[Kheit grunts] That's what happened…
[Jairo] Ever since then, Bonz and I have continued to protect Ancient KOTOWARI.
All is God.
It is the will of Pytonpyt.
If that is the case,
then what should I do?
[Jairo] Throw away your hope.
We will perish.
I'm Taichi Watari.
Please fill in the form here.
Visiting hours are until 8:00.
[Taichi] Okay.
[Thaim] Is the Creator really Nagi's mother?
[Supes] You will find and kill the Creator.
That's not an option.
I can't do that.
[Supes] Will you abandon Upananta?
[Thaim] No.
[Supes] It is one life,
or all life on Upananta.
What is more important to you?
You will take Aktha's place
and become a hero.
HANA WATARI
Mom?
[Taichi] Hana.
She's been asleep all this time.
[Saila] This is the Creator?
She's not even conscious.
[Taichi] I'm very sorry,
but can we have some time alone as a family?
[Nagi] Sorry.
[in Upananta] Will Upananta be saved
if the Creator is gone?
That won't happen.
Probably won't.
What?
I don't know yet either, okay?
Thaim?
You…
Thaim!
[Mame, in Japanese] What's happening?
