Episode 20: Anima and Animus
Uh, so let's get started.
Will one of us be in charge of controlling the field?
Yuki and I will control it.
Now, let's go with our temporary shout.
Yuki, if you'd please.
Yeah!
Beast Knights, fight!
On!
It's not coming together?
Guess it's difficult to control the fields of this many people.
We'll keep going! Next, next!
Beast Knights, fight!
On!
Beast Knights, fight!
On!
They're struggling.
Yeah.
Well?
How's the Beast Knights' full party combination field coming along?
Not great.
Hmm.
You're returning those books to the library?
Yeah.
He read an awful lot.
Now that I think about it, he was the one that resembled me the most.
I love books, too.
When I looked up, that sky was full of wonders.
The despair I bottled up tormented me,
and I wanted the courage to break my chains of isolation.
(You are my light)
I was searching for your brilliant light in my hazy dreams
to kick away the limits placed on myself.
Now with your courage, let’s soar into the sky.
Let's CRUSH the fear!
I swear to you, at the ends of this chaotic world,
that even if you fall, I'll
Be the HERO!
I'll be waiting at the future we're moving toward,
with a “YES, MY LORD!” for your constant radiance,
clutching the stars raining down upon us.
I'll love you until we reach that future you want to destroy.
Some Year Some Month Some Day
Anima-chan! Don't run!
Is that the girl who's
one of the twins who survived that accident?
Yeah.
But how did those two survive that accident?
People are saying they're aliens.
Huh?
I mean, their shuttle crashed into the surface of the moon.
It's stranger that they survived.
Animus, happy birthday.
Here, a book.
Thank you, Anima.
It was heavy, right?
It wasn't heavy.
Thanks.
This one's from me.
Close your eyes.
Okay, you're good.
Happy birthday, Anima.
A Zero-G Ring!
I had the Director buy it for me.
Oh, awesome! The 28th Dimensional Gravity Plane Theory!
How did you find such an old book?
I asked the Director.
Well, it's not like we have any other connections.
Hey, Anima, Animus.
How are you two doing?
Fine.
We're okay, Doctor.
You both have recovered awfully well.
Yes.
Anima, Animus.
Would you two let me adopt you?
It's only been six months since you lost your parents in the accident on the moon.
I know it might still be hard for you to get over that,
but give it some thought?
It's not a bad idea.
It's not.
He's a nice guy.
He is.
Maybe we can even talk to him about the psychic stuff.
No, we can't.
Then he'd know I was behind the accident.
I just wanted to know how it would feel.
I never expected the walls of the shuttle to be so fragile.
Animus.
Don't you think it's incredible, though?
I have the power to kill all those people.
Animus!
That's not incredible at all.
You're right, let's keep that secret from the Doctor.
Also,
once we're done recovering, let's seal away our psychic powers
and go be normal children.
Wha?!
No! Then I wouldn't be special!
I wouldn't have proof that I'm me!
You're special even without being psychic!
You have a mean look,
frizzy hair, you slouch,
you have a strong sense of curiosity, you love books, and you're my brother!
There's no one else like that!
I didn't want to hear the parts about my eyes, hair, and approachability.
Loving books is a good thing, right?
Yeah, you could become a scholar.
You think so?
I do.
I guarantee it.
A scholar?
That might be nice.
There are plenty of things I want to know.
I hope we get out of here soon.
We'll get out once we've recovered.
Let's become the doctor's kids and go to his home.
Yeah.
You've made up your mind?
Doctor.
Thank you.
From now on, you're both my children.
I'll take good care of you.
But you can't seal away your powers.
Huh?
Doctor?
You ruptured your shuttle's hull,
survived on the surface of the moon,
and recovered from your injuries in just six months!
You two are gods!
How did you know about the shuttle and sealing our powers?
As director, I'm able to monitor everything in this hospital!
Your miraculous survival!
Your unusual recovery!
I thought there had to be something,
but you really are psychic!
And you're aware of that, too!
I looked up your family lineage, too,
and your ancestors were all exceptional people!
They're all doctors, physicists, and athletes
who were mentioned in textbooks in the 21st century.
Gods?
I'm a god?
Animus!
That's right, a god!
So let me study your mind and body even more!
Let's uncover the truth behind the power of a god!
You can't seal your powers away!
I won't let anyone else touch you!
Everyone else would think you're aliens or some monsters,
so they'd probably want to dissect you and treat you as specimens!
So I'll spend my life keeping you safe and hidden away from evil here!
Get it? So!
Like you could ever keep a god locked away in a hospital.
No human could.
I wouldn't be locking you away! I'd be protect—
I'm going outside.
I don't have any more books to read.
Animus!
Thank you, Doctor.
I knew I really was a god.
That's great.
I almost let Anima turn me into a normal person.
Stop!
Now break, you man-made walls.
Satellites are so fragile.
I killed so many again.
It feels great.
Animus! How could you?!
Forget about books.
Next is...
the Earth.
I wonder how it'll feel when it breaks.
I want to know.
Animus!
One, two!
This is the best!
Animus...
What is this sensation?
Space?
Time is shattering?!
Incredible!
I think we can go to the past!
I can't believe this is possible!
What is happening?
All right!
I can enjoy shattering the past Earth over and over
while tracing back to the beginning!
I want to see the start of the universe!
I want to know about it!
Ah, wait!
Onii-chan!
What?
You can't.
You can't break anything else.
Why not? I'm a god.
You're not.
You're a—
Are you getting in my way?
I know, a game!
Let's play a game!
Huh?
I'll restrict you with rules.
I won't let you use your psychic powers so easily!
I won't let you destroy the planet and time!
You can't—
I can!
I'm your twin sister and I have the same powers you do.
But I'm not a god.
I'm human.
How many times has it been now?
How many years have passed?
Well,
in subjective time, a century has passed.
Surely you've realized you can't win by now?
No matter how many times you change the rules, it's no use.
How long do you plan on coming after me?
Until I die, Animus.
General Hospital
My name?
Asahina Samidare.
But why are you floating?
I feel like it.
Asahina Samidare,
do you love this Earth?
I'll ask you once more.
Do you love this planet?
I don't really understand.
Do you work here at this hospital?
I'm a princess fighting against an evil mage.
If you're willing to protect the Earth with me,
then I can grant you one wish.
Uh, can you make that easier to understand?
I'm...
fighting a bad guy.
I want your help.
Why?
I need to synchronize myself with the mind and fate of a human from this era.
That's part of it,
but I also think this battle should be fought by those with the desire to live in that era.
I don't get it.
Animus and I are anomalies in this universe.
We should be eliminated by those from this universe.
I don't get it.
Help me out.
I'll give you candy.
Okay.
I'll grant you one wish, as well.
You can wish for anything.
A wish?
What do you want? Want do you want to do?
Nothing.
Mom, just one more day.
I have a surgery scheduled back there.
Good afternoon, Ancestor.
Huh?
I could keep your mother and sister here, for example.
I'd even do that one for free.
Mm, I'm fine.
You know, I can't really do anything.
Though I already ate your candy.
Shall I grant you a body that can do anything?
Wish for it.
I could cure your illness, too.
No thanks.
Why not?
Just don't feel like it.
You keep staring outside.
Do you want to go out?
Yeah, I do.
Hey, thanks, lady.
Bye!
Hm? You're going off alone?
Yeah.
Don't follow me.
A doggie!
That's dangerous.
He barks at everyone and he'll bite anyone, too.
Thanks.
Where are you from?
I haven't seen you around here before.
I'm from the hospital.
The hospital?
Where's your home?
Where's your mom and dad?
My dad and my mom are both away somewhere else.
My home is the hospital.
I've been moved around a lot,
so I've lived in all kinds of hospitals.
Uh...
Amamiya Yuuhi.
Amamiya Yuuhi
Oh, I forgot to take my name tag off.
Yuu-kun.
Don't call me Yuu-kun.
Are you lost, by chance?
My name's not Lost.
That's not what I meant.
Okay, I'm taking you to the police.
The police?!
No! Scary!
They'll arrest me!
They won't arrest you, and they're not scary!
The police only arrest bad people!
My father's a detective, too,
and he wouldn't arrest a lost kid!
You'll be fine!
No!
I'm a bad kid!
I'm a bad kid, so don't!
Ah, wait!
Detectives don't get hurt.

Detectives don't get hurt.
I have to save her.
I have to be like my dad.
Running is dangerous with your illness.
Are you okay?
Lady,
running is fun!
Even if it's tiring, it's fun!
Shall we head back?
I'll stay out a little longer.
I see.
Why did you call yourself a bad kid?
I cause problems for everyone with my illness,
and I'm sick because I'm a bad kid.
I'll say it again.
Wish for me to cure your illness.
No thanks.
Why not?
I may be sick,
and I may be a bad kid,
but I'm alive right now.
You have an awfully old soul.
I'll ask your soul directly.
Tell me what you desire.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Young lady,
I'll buy you anything you'd like.
Kidnapping in progress!
Even common citizens have the right to arrest criminals caught in the act!
Huh?
Here!
Hmm?
Run! Now's our chance!
Yeah, I'll run.
You're not hurt?
No.
I won't take you to the police anymore,
so please don't run away.
I'll see you back to your home.
But I don't want to go back yet.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I like running.
Listen, the police aren't scary, you know.
They're heroes of justice who protect everyone.
I want to become a detective like my dad, too.
Uh, detective?
It's okay if you don't understand.
For now, just know
that even if you won't go to the police, I'll stay with you and keep you safe.
If you're with me, Yuu-kun, then I'll be okay.
Don't call me Yuu-kun.
That reminds me, what's your name?
Hey, Yuu-kun.
I'm that girl's guardian.
What's that look for?
Trust me.
I hate people that talk about trust so easily!
Those are exactly the ones that deceive others!
Those are brave eyes.
Grow up to be a good man.
Huh?
We have to get back soon or the doctors will find out.
Wow!
S-She's floating?!
Forget about today.
Goodbye.
Huh?!
Floating, disappearing...
Scientifically, it's impossible...
Ah! A dream?!
General Hospital
How'd you like the outside?
It was fun.
Thanks, lady.
Sure.
Do you have any wishes, lady?
Me?
You really are unusual.
You're the first one to ask what my wish is.
I guess... I want to fall in love.
Love?
Yeah.
I need a serious reason to fight, too,
especially since I'm trying to kill my other half.
I want people who can see Animus' hammer and still see hope,
as well as a man who I want to keep alive,
and then I could end it.
I'll use this against it.
My super-weapon that I've been keeping hidden and building bit by bit.
It'll be finished in about six or seven years of this universe's time.
Afterward, I'll focus on synchronizing with your body.
The battle will start about three or four years after that.
During that time, I'll teach you how to draw out your power.
I don't get it.
I see.
Well, if you ever come up with a wish, just tell me.
Oh, I have a wish now.
What is it?
I want to see that boy from today again.
Yuu-kun.
Very well.
Also, um, I want that!
That huge jewel!
That's the Earth.
I guess you could say it is a rock.
But no one can own it.
Hm?
You suddenly gained lots of desires,
despite saying you wanted nothing.
I wonder what I would have to do to make it mine.
Beast Knights, fight!
On!
All right! Take a break.
You okay?
Yes.
It's taking shape, bit by bit.
It's just a matter of time.
Think it'll be ready in time?
That reminds me,
the next golem is late in showing up.
It's been two weeks since we started this training.
Usually it would have shown up by now.
Animus!
Hey. Sorry to come from above.
I have an announcement for you all today.
Recently, I've been letting you enjoy fighting one golem a month,
but this time I'm planning to give you a few months' break.
A break?
I want to spend more time shaping the twelfth.
You can use that time to train new techniques,
put your affairs in order,
and enjoy the last winter of your lives.
Once it's time, I'll use the twelfth and the Biscuit Hammer to crush you all,
Anima's Blues Drive Monster,
and the Earth on that day.
Next time will be the last battle.
I went and provoked them.
They all had great expressions.
I'm looking forward to this, Poseideon.
Spring, Summer, and Fall were like a storm,
but Winter was quiet for us.
When the new year came,
the Beast Knights had perfected their combination field.
During that time,
the princess's special training with Anima to draw out her powers was going well.
I did some special training of my own, too.
In order to beat everyone else.
In order to end this tale of the planet's destruction.
Finally, that day arrived.
