Just like switching channels

I was trying to escape from the reality before my eyes

Still not knowing the meaning of "freedom"

I'm held back by the rules that I cannot see

I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself

I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself

I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun

I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun

GO TO THE LIGHT

I want a burning passion within me that is greater than anyone 's

And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere

And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere

GO TO THE LIGHT

I want to embrace a strength that can wipe away all frustrations

Over the many dawns

In order to find out what it is to be me

Kuhazan!

I'm Claude C. Kenni.

After escaping the prison in Haynes Fortress...

...we were confronted by a monster!

The Kuhazan doesn't work against it either!

Say your prayers.

Everyone! Step away from that thing!

I'm about to fire the Lacour Hope!

The source of life we are blessed with...

...a gift of the gods to be used for our future.

Prayers of the people. Happenings on land.

Acknowledging the promises of those who wish to live.

For the happiness of the people...

...we apply this beam to the darkness that stands in our way.

In answer to our prayers and by your benevolence...

...destroy this evil and banish it to oblivion!

The Lacour Hope arrived in the nick of time.

And we triumphed over the beast.

That's a lot more powerful than I imagined.

I shall remember that power.

You saved us, Leon.

You arrived earlier than expected.

Well, I made some adjustments to the vehicle...

...and made it 30 percent faster.

Now we just load this onto a ship...

...and head to El Continent.

Right!

The investigation team has returned!

Dias is back!

But the ship that Dias and the investigation team returned on...

Stop this...

3:1

Stop it!

3:1

Even your powers can't heal Dias“ wounds?

I've tried many times...

...but he still has a high fever.

Perhaps he'll...

Those wounds he has...

...may be a curse left by the monsters.

Monster's curse?

Yes.

In which case, I won't be able to heal his wounds with my power.

Rena...

I've been wanting to ask you...

Why did Dias leave that peaceful village of Arlia...

...and commit himself to become a lone warrior?

As I watch him, I get a feeling.

3:1

Claude...

When are we leaving?

I want to go to El Continent.

That's crazy, Dias! You can't even stand up.

What are you talking about?!

You should forget about fighting.

Right now, you have to focus on healing yourself.

I‘m aware of my own condition.

Stop giving me grief.

3:1

Why?

Why are you so determined to go to battle?

My only purpose is to fight.

I am in my best form when I fight.

There's treasure?

You got it.

That device is called the Lacour something or other.

I overheard that it's powered by a very precious jewel.

I get it. You want to steal that rock and get out of this fortress.

Bingo!

You sure this is cool?

That Lacour thing is supposed to save our world.

You idiot!

It can save the world, after it makes us rich first!

You get it? Huh? Huh?

Now!

Hurry it up!

I'm doing it!

Not right now. I‘m kind of busy.

II!

Thank goodness. It‘s unharmed.

What happened, Commander?!

You must increase the security around the Lacour Hope!

The monsters would do anything to try and destroy it!

This weapon is our last hope...

...no, it's the whole world's last hope!

Do you understand?

I will carry out your orders.

The little brat.

You beast!

Just take it easy.

I wanted to borrow your strength.

The world of humans is coming to an end.

I'm sure you would like to be spared.

Yes, you and I are more similar than you think.

If you cooperate with me...

...I promise you a great reward.

m

The reason Dias left Arlia...

...is because his family...

...was murdered by bandits.

Run! Run for your life!

Darling!

Father! Mother!

Father! Mother!

3:1

Cecile!

Dias“ parents were such kind people.

And Cecile and I always played together.

They all died...

Somehow, miraculously, Dias alone managed to survive.

Are you going away somewhere, Dias?

Rena...

If I had been stronger, I could've saved my mom and dad, and Cecile.

If only I had more strength.

I didn't know that had happened to Dias.

To this day, Dias still blames himself.

For his parents' and Cecile‘s death.

He always seems calm and relaxed in front of you and me.

But he looks even lonelier than me.

He reminds me of a child...

...suddenly dragged from his home screaming.

The people and things he knew...

...everything vanishes from his world.

Left all alone...

...he searches for the place he‘s meant to be.

Claude's a tough man.

Tough? No.

Claude is very weak.

He is perhaps the most fragile of us all.

Despite his weakness and loneliness...

...he desperately carried on trying to protect someone.

Protect someone?

He fights to keep his pain at bay.

I'm not like him.

He maintains control of himself by protecting others.

Even if he were to be hurt.

Rena...

Claude will protect you to the end.

It‘s the only way he can be himself.

That's why we want to stay by Claude's side.

If his protecting us means that...

...he saves himself...

Until he realizes that he‘s not alone...

...we will stick by Claude.

I'm sure Rena and Ashton feel the same way.

We all love that man very much.

Commander Harvest!

What do you intend to do with that Energy Stone?

Don't tell me!

That's right! I sold my soul to the beast!

This world is coming to an end after all!

E231]

You just want to save yourself?!

Are you going to abandon your friends and family?!

I don't care about that!

The beast has promised me a great reward!

The power of the Sorcery Globe has turned your soul black!

Here it is!

Commander!

You've done well, Commander.

Here is your ultimate reward.

To be killed by me.

Y-You betrayed me...

Why, you!

What a fool.

You humans are so pathetic.

Sooner or later, you humans will meet your demise.

I'll show you!

Kuhazan!

You cannot win.

ZZZ]

What's the matter?!

Let's end this now.

No.

If he shoots his arrow of light at this range, Ican't avoid it.

E25]

3:1

He may interfere, but that changes nothing!

What is that stancel?

Watch closely, Claude!

I'll send both of you to hell!

Hokoha!

Y-You...!

3:1

That was the Hokoha.

Remember it.

Hokoha...

You‘re in bad shape...

Claude.

You must never stop fighting on behalf of your friends.

But always fight for yourself, too.

He's gone to heal his wounds? That's what Dias said?

Yeah. That's what he said when he set off early this morning.

Is that right?

We're talking about Dias.

I'm sure that he'll be okay.

I know.

I'll tell everyone in Lacour that you've left for El Continent!

Bye!

Take care, you guys!

You, too!

We've managed to sneak on board.

But there's serious security around the Lacour Hope.

Well. We've got time.

Are you okay?

Yes.

You dropped your special device.

Thanks.

Why has the sea become so rough?

Oh, my!

HEART TO HEART

Iwant to turn the switch on to my soul and wipe away my tears

Ican feel the wind blowing freely across my body

I'll take my LOVE and THANK YOU into the future

Who am Isupposed to thank for the miracle of meeting you

I want to be proud of having someone so important

I want to be proud of having someone so important

Everyone has things that they want to hide

We 're notjust live mannequins, after all

Reality is not a game

You can 't cop out and reset it

Iwant to turn the switch on to my soul and be happy

I want to embrace kindness as many times as I kiss

Let's all cherish the dreams we have for this town

As yesterday came to nothing, the future is about to begin

However the days go, Iwill continue to live with my eyes wide open

However the days go, Iwill continue to live with my eyes wide open

I'm Claude C. Kenni.

The Lacour Hope, my friends, and Rena...

I've even lost faith in myself.

No! She's alive!

I know Rena's alive!

Come on, Leon. We‘ve got to find everyone!

What are those monsters?!

This must be El Continent!

On the next episode of Star Ocean EX...

..."Faith".

Faith

I must remain hopeful, and save my friends.
