Video of this chapter

Just as a heads up, if a character’s name is shown as ???, they’ll be introduced as ??? until their name is revealed. When I introduce a character, I’m including their voice actor’s name even if they’re not voiced in this game if I can find it (CV means Character Voice). I’ll also include which series they’re from since it was requested.

Also sometimes a character’s mugshot is half covered by darkness or green from being displayed on a monitor. I’ll point these out whenever they happen. There are some animations that cannot be captured properly in screenshots. Watching the video or playing along will have the best effect.

Now let’s get this show on the road.

223 Years Ago

[???]

The discovery of a primordial particle that transmits consciousness. The creation of the basic theory of a semi-perpetual motion machine that produces these particles. A proposal for a solar power generation system for the construction of a space elevator… All of these are great technologies that will enrich humanity. But you hate people. You’re even living like a hermit on this island.
(???)

It’s not like I hate people. I just hate those who misuse their intelligence, become trapped by preconceptions and prejudices, and lose sight of the truth.
(???)

Sadly that does describe the vast majority of humanity.

That’s why there’s constant misunderstandings, discord, and conflicts… I want to make sure we properly understand each other.

Is that the kind of world you desire?

Humanity must use its intelligence properly and evolve. If we don’t do that by the time we set out into space…into the vast universe, all that will happen is the creation of new conflicts. That would be depressing…

…What you’re about to do is beyond the capabilities of most people. But still you’re going to go through with it, Aeolia?

I still want to believe in the existence of humanity. That’s because people…
(Aeolia Schenberg. Gundam 00. CV: Tsutomu Isobe)

1 Year Ago

[???]

!? Laplace’s Box? Are you serious?
(Cardeas Vist. Gundam Unicorn. CV: Takayuki Sugo)

Soon, it will be 100 years since the start of the New Century, which symbolized the beginning of a new leap forward for humanity… However, contrary to that bright and shining wish, the Earth Sphere is far too dark and cold…
(Syam Vist. Gundam Unicorn. CV: Ichiro Nagai)

Recently we’ve confirmed the true identity of the Jovian Lizards… Their addition to the Vagan’s military has only intensified our interstellar war… Also the conflict that began with the One Year War continues to this day…

Yes… Man will never get over the mistakes of the past… If things continue like this, the Earth Sphere will become our prison. It’s just as that man feared…

…Revealing the Box may bring more chaos than ever before.

Man has God… Power beyond the present… However, possibility is the God within us…

The God within us…

And as that God is passed down, it will eventually become a hope that surpasses even a true God… That’s why I’m entrusting this to you… This tiny possibility…

Many years have passed since the world was created. Time passes. Many lives are born. And then they disappear.

But that doesn’t mean returning to nothingness.

The will that’s born there…

The Gravity Furnace is right there! A-are you planning to die!?
(Kiba. Mazinkaiser SKL. CV: Nobuyuki Hiyama)

Like you care, murderer! One of us is going to die first today! These kinds of gambles are fun sometimes!
(Ken Kaido. Mazinkaiser SKL. CV: Shintarō Asanuma)

Let’s have some fun and enjoy this hot pot of hell!
(Ryo Magami. Mazinkaiser SKL. CV: Satoshi Hino)

Heh. So you’re trying to postpone that decision until the afterlife!?

There is no afterlife. You’re already in hell!

You assholes are moroooooons!

INFERNO… BLASTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!

Sometimes, it changes shape…

[Between Worlds]

Once we leave this dimension, we’ll finally reach Zeon’s home base. Are you all prepared?
(Knight Alex. SD Gundam Gaiden. CV: Masami Kikuchi)

Yes. The source of all evil, Seigzeon, must be there too!
(Fencer Zeta. SD Gundam Gaiden. CV: Kouji Tsujitani)

I will defeat him and bring peace to the Saddrac World!
(Warrior ZZ. SD Gundam Gaiden. CV: Kiyoyuki Yanada)
(TL Note: Saddrac backwards is Carddas. “Carddass” are the cards SD Gundam Gaiden are based from. The name in Japanese is “Suda Doaka” which has the same effect. The official romanization is Saddarc.)

…Somehow, I think I understand.
(Knight Gundam. SD Gundam Gaiden. CV: Yasunori Matsumoto)

Sir Knight?
(Wizard Nu. SD Gundam Gaiden. CV: Akifumi Endoh)

We, the five descendants of the Gundam tribe, have gathered here… Well, I only ended up in Lacroa because…
[Screen flashes white]

!? Argh! This is…!

Space is…being disrupted…!

Everyone! Get behind me!
[Another flash of light]

!? Impossible! The Three Sacred Treasures disappeared!?

Uwaaaaaaaaa!
[Screen fades to white]

Ranka… I’m sorry, but I can’t respond to your feelings… But… Thank you…
(Alto Saotome. Macross Frontier. CV: Yuichi Nakamura)

…!
(Ranka Lee. Macross Frontier. CV: Megumi Nakajima)

Sheryl…

Alto…
(Sheryl Nome. Macross Frontier. CV: Aya Endo/May’n)

It might be a little late, but… About what you said…

The combined fleet’s Macross Cannon has hit the Vajira Queen!
(Monica Lang. Macross Frontier. CV: Rie Tanaka)

Altoooooooooo!
[Screen fades to white]

Sometimes from person to person…

[???]

W-where am I…? Last I remembered… I was riding my motorcycle. And then…
(Shou Zama. Dunbine. CV: Shigeru Nakahara) (Sorry, but I’m using Shou instead of Show)

Oh. The fifth person appeared with a machine…
(Burn Burnings. Dunbine. CV: Sho Hayami)

Who are you!?

You must be from the surface. It’ll take some time to explain the situation. Would you mind coming with me?

And if I refuse…?

I would like to say I would force you to obey…but I don’t want to keep having to do that.

And if I still refuse?

I want you to understand something. You have no way to get back to the surface. This is the haven for souls. This is the world between the land and sea, Byston Well.

I’m in another world called Byston Well!?
[Fades to white]

The Crocus turned around and stopped in front of the Chulip.
(Ruri Hoshino. Nadesico. CV: Omi Minami)

There’s no way your ship can withstand entering a Chulip! Have you finally given up?
(Zanald Beihart. Gundam AGE. CV: Hisao Egawa)

Gah!
(Jin Fukube. Nadesico. CV: Nobuo Tanaka)

What the hell is that old Admiral doing in a busted ship like that? He’s the only one on board!
(Ryoko Subaru. Nadesico. CV: Chisa Yokoyama)

If it destroys the Chulip with a self-destruct, they won’t be able to pursue us.

!? Why would you… Why do you think that’s the best thing to do!? You could always blame others for your failures and be the only survivor again! Just like before…
(Akito Tenkawa. Nadesico. CV: Yuji Ueda)

…Keep the Nadesico on course and head into the Chulip.
(Yurika Misumaru. Nadesico. CV: Houko Kuwashima)

Yurika!?

A-are we really going into that?
(Minato Haruka. Nadesico. CV: Maya Okamoto)

That’s right… This is fine…

Admiral, I…

I wasn’t a good Admiral. I wasn’t even a good adult. When all’s said and done, we’re just going to do whatever we want.

Admiral…

I’ll just say this. The Nadesico is your ship. What anyone else says doesn’t matter…
[He hangs up]

Admiral…!

The Crocus’ reactor is critical. It will explode.

…Nadesico, maximum battle speed. Enter the Chulip.

You must be joking! He has to live to the end! He has to pay for his crimes! Don’t act like he didn’t do what he did! YOU IDIOOOOOOOOOOT!
[Fades to white]

And sometimes, from blood to blood…

[Olivernotes. Asuno Household]

Are you really planning to drag him into war?
(Unoa Asuno. Gundam AGE. CV: Aya Endō)

Correct.
(Flit Asuno. Gundam AGE. CV: Kazuhiko Inoue)

What are you going to tell your daughter-in-law? And you should realize what you’re doing to Kio…

He’s gone now.

!? So that’s why… That’s why you’re going to send Kio out there?

The fight against the Vagans isn’t over. Protecting the Earth Sphere from them is… Guh… *cough* *cough*

Dad!

If possible, I’d rather fight them myself… But these eyes… And this body… They no longer act like they did in the past!

Why do you go to such lengths…

That is the destiny of the Asuno family. It’s a wish that must be carried out. That’s why I have to keep creating them. The machine that will end the war. Our savior… “Gundam”!
[Fades to white]

BREAST! FIRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
(Koji Kabuto. Mazinger. CV: Kenji Akabane)

D-Doublas M2 is…!
(Baron Ashura. Mazinger. CV: Koya Ishitobi (Male), Kaori Yamagata (Female))

Amazing... It’s melting!
(Sayaka Yumi. Mazinger. CV: Yoko Honda)

My power… This is my power! Gramps, you said that, didn’t you!?

Yes. This is my atonement for taking away your parents. If I die, you brothers will have no one to rely on. But don’t worry. As long as you have this Mazinger Z, you’re strong! You’re the strongest in the world!
(Juzo Kabuto. Mazinger. CV: Taimei Suzuki)

Mazinger… Z…

That’s right. The iron castle that towers in the sky… The Super Robot, Mazinger Z… Beyond humanity… You can be a god or a devil… You…can…

? Grand…pa…?
(Shiro Kabuto. Mazinger. CV: Ayumi Fujimura)

…
(The top half of his mugshot here is darkened)

!? Big bro. Grandpa is… Grandpa is…!
[Fade to white]

Sometimes that will is passed down…

[Hinobori Academy, ???]

We’re the warriors who’ll protect the Earth…!?
(Jin Hyuga. Raijin-Oh. CV: Rica Matsumoto)

Um… Who are you anyway?
(Maria Shiratori. Raijin-Oh. CV: Konami Yoshida)

I am Eldran. A warrior who has protected the Earth since ancient times. Right now, the Earth is being targeted by the evil Fifth-Dimensional Jaaku Empire.
(Eldran. Raijin-Oh. CV: Bin Shimada)

The fifth dimension… You’re saying they’re from another dimension?
(Tsutomu Kojima. Raijin-Oh. CV: Bin Shimada)

A-an extra dimensional person… If they’re not actually aliens like the Jovian Lizards, I don’t believe it…
(Asuka Tsukishiro. Raijin-Oh. CV: Rie Iwatsubo)

Besides, we’re just elementary school students! It’s stupid to ask us to protect the Earth out of nowhere!
(Hiroshi Takamori. Raijin-Oh. CV: Mami Matsui)

I need to heal my wounds. I have no choice but to entrust it to you.
[A flash of light]

W-what the? What’s this medal…?
(Aiko “Love” Shimada. Raijin-Oh. CV: Rica Matsumoto)

That medal is a sign that you are warriors who protect the Earth. The medals will tell you how to use them. In my place, fight against the evil that threatens the Earth. Fight together with the Earth’s messenger, “Raijin-Oh”.

Raijin…-Oh…?
(Kouji Hoshiyama. Raijin-Oh. CV: Mari Maruta)

The rest is up to you… Children of Earth…
[Fade to white]

Even with the power of Cain’s legacy, how are those weak-hearted fools…so strong…!
(Pasdar. GaoGaiGar. CV: Kenichi Ogata)

We’ll end…everything that began that day…with our own hands!!
(Guy Shishioh. GaoGaiGar. CV: Nobuyuki Hiyama)

GOLDIOOOOOON! HAMMEEEEEERRRRRRR!!

AAAAAHHHHH!

EI-01! BECOME LIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!

Finally, the place where it all began… Soon, we will…!
[Fades to white]

From the past to the present… And…

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!
(Makoto Hiiragi. OG. CV: N/A)

Heh… Haha… That went well… With this, I’ve fulfilled my promise to you, Falsaber…

Yeah…
(Falsaber. OG. CV: Masaki Terasoma)

But this time… I think… I was a little too enthusiastic… I can’t keep that other promise… How stupid…of me…

Makoto…

That child…is she alright…?

There is no change to their “life”. However…

Well, as long as you’re alive, you can keep going… I’ll leave the rest to you… Although you might be angry at me for forcing you to clean up after this mess…
[Flash of light]

Guh…!?

It seems you too have reached your limit in your current body…

Forgive me, Makoto… I can’t…

Don’t worry…about it... There’s proof…that I once lived… And that proof will surely…
