Eureka Seven – Ep 45

Whoa. A fairly strong episode in my opinion. Actually found myself tearing at some parts. In this episode, we see Renton, Eureka and Maurice resolve the things that have been eating away at Maurice. But also, the rebellion that actually starts back in Holland’s world.

Renton and the kids have caught up with Eureka. She asks them to stay away, but they don’t, with Eureka insisting to Renton that she’s a different being. But renton, in all his innocence, starts to take a stone to hurt his arm too, saying that now he is the same too, and that they will remain a couple.

Maurice suddenly appears with Charles’ gun and aim it at renton. Blaming him for taking away Eureka. When Eureka stands to protect Renton, Maurice recounts about how he still rememebers it was Eureka who killed his mom, and now he has only Eureka left. And he doesn’t want her to leave, and wants her to love only him. But Eureka reminds him of how she still loves them, and that she doesn’t want them to remember sad stuff like their own mom. Renton too, reiterates that he loves them, because Eureka does.

But the bigger story of the episode was the rebellion by Dominic. I expected him to either bear with Dewey, or to just run away again. Together with Captain Jurgens, they meet up with the Gekko State, and are convinced of what the truth is. They try to convince other federation ships to join in the rebellion, but in the end, they are the only ones who do so.

Meanwhile, amounst the civilians, the work of Stoner is succeeding, and the civilians are finding out about the truth too. This should form the core of the rebellion as well.

We also have Dominic trying to convince the Gekko state why they should believe him. Dominic is fighting to protect the one he loves. Anaemone. And somehow, it was exactly the same thing Renton did with regards to Eureka not too long ago, which shows how similar they are.

Lots of emotions coming from every character, none of them lame or fake. An episode that was overwhelming i must say.
