Hishou Toki o Koete

OP Sequence: In My Justice

In space an object flies to a planet and there's an explosion. A pod opens from it, and Lúci appears. The first Demon of The Day appears, and they begin to speak about Reideen, while looking at the earth.

A bird flies overhead and a feather flutters down. Ace, on top of a building, watches, then jumps down.
The feather goes down past a hospital window where Hishou reads to his comatose girlfriend, Ruri.
Hishou leaves...
Flashback
Ruri and Hishou are on the roof of a school talking. She gets up on the barrier of the edge of the roof and walks along it. A gust of wind blows her off the roof.
Hishou is on a roof and sees the feather. An eye opens on it and shows him a vision of space.
Condor and Lúci are fighting, while Hishou observes. The other Reideen come and help. An attack goes astray and almost gets Hishou. A Reideen catches him from a fall and then explains what is going on. He says 'I am you'. The feather appears and tries to touch him, but he fights it off.
A young girl's voice snaps him from the vision, and his 6 year old sister Tsubasa is there. He gives her a piggy-back ride away. Ace jumps down and looks after them, and calls Hishou Reideen Eagle.

A bunch of people are waiting to see a Kirari concert. The DOTD walks down the street destroying things, but people can't see him. He sees Kirari and notes the jewel she wears. He goes into the concert building.
Reiko stops Hishou on the street, but Hishou won't listen and leaves. Ace comes up to Reiko, and they talk.
Hishou and Tsubasa are at the concert, waiting for it top begin. Hishou doesn't know who she is, and Tsubasa calls her an angel.
The lights go down and Kirari comes up through the stage. Hishou is shocked to see she looks like Ruri.
The demon comes after the brooch and Kirari runs away frightened. Hishou goes to help her, he and Kirari being the only two to see the chouma.
Kirari drops the brooch and the chouma picks it up, but it isn't what he wanted, but goes after her anyway. Kirari goes to the roof.
Hishou bashes the chouma over the head, but it's unaffected, He attacks Hishou, then goes after Kirari again.
Hishou opens his eyes and sees the feather glowing.
Kirari falls off the building when a gust of wind comes. As she screams, Hishou grabs the feather and transforms to Reideen Eagle. He catches her just in time, and then fights the chouma. The demon powers up and Eagle uses Raging Fire Punch. He then pulls out Eagle sword and destroys the chouma.
Lúci watches from a safe distance.
Ace and Reiko watch as well.

ED sequence: Q

We recently got an email from Sasha, who cleared some things up in this episode. What she wrote is as follows:

In space an object flies to a planet and there's an explosion. A pod opens from it, and Lúci appears. The first Demon of The Day appears, and they begin to speak about Reideen, while looking at the earth.

They speak about God Reideen, and that how they want to make him appear again by attacking the earth.

A bird flies overhead and a feather flutters down. Ace, on top of a building, watches, then jumps down. The feather goes down past a hospital window where Hishou reads to his comatose girlfriend, Ruri.

Ace says "Who are you searching?", speaking to the feather. It seems that the feather itself is looking for Reideen Eagle, and will lead him to him.
Later, when Hishou is with Ruri, he reads a newspaper article to her about a mysterious meteor (on the photo he's holding), which is, of course, Luci and the chouma. The meteor showed unnatural behaviour and disappeared altogether, and there is a humorous reference to aliens. "Well," Hishou says, "if they're really aliens, things would get interesting around here. You should better open your eyes soon." When she doesn't, he flinches.

Ruri and Hishou are on the roof of a school talking. She gets up on the barrier of the edge of the roof and walks along it. A gust of wind blows her off the roof.

From what I got from listening to the dialogue twice, Ruri is somewhat jealous of Hishou and his tight bonds to his family (she mentions his "kawaii" sister Tsubasa on one occasion). It seems that she is currently facing family problems, (or so I think) and she wished for wings to escape her life and fly away to some other place. She says "tsubasa ga hoshii" before she falls off the roof - "I wish I had wings." Hishou later repeats this during the vision when he meets his future self, and when before he transforms into Reideen Eagle for the first time to save Kirari.

...astray and almost gets Hishou. A Reideen catches him from a fall and then explains what is going on. He says 'I am you'.

The whole line is "I am you. I am what you will become." He also explains how he must fight the enemy to protect God Reideen from the chouma, and explains that soon, the earth will face an attack from outer space, which only he can prevent from happening. Your basic superhero "call to arms" speech. :-)

A young girl's voice snaps him from the vision, and his 6 year old sister Tsubasa is there. He gives her a piggy-back ride away.

He promised her to bring her obento (food), but he forgot. :->

He sees Kirari and notes the jewel she wears.

The jewel is called the "zodiac".

Reiko stops Hishou on the street, but Hishou won't listen and leaves. Ace comes up to Reiko, and they talk.

Actually, Reiko has no idea who Hishou is and tries to pick him up. :-) Hishou refuses, and she's pissed. "Man, he's got an ego." It's only then that Ace explains that he is one of them.

Hishou and Tsubasa are at the concert, waiting for it top begin. Hishou doesn't know who she is, and Tsubasa calls her an angel.

Tsubasa actually says "she's as beautiful as an angel".

Kirari drops the brooch and the chouma picks it up, but it isn't what he wanted, but goes after her anyway. Kirari goes to the roof.

The chouma thinks that Kirari must be more intelligent than her hysterically squeeking self. Monsters ALWAYS make that mistake with cute girls. :-) He suspects that she may have hidden the real zodiac somewhere else. I'm not so sure about that one, I'll have to watch it again to be sure.

later she took another look at the show and said--

Scratch the part where I said that the chouma suspected Kirari of possessing the real zodiac. Must have been superimposed by me. Here's what really happens:

When the monster jumps on stage, Hishou and Kirari are the only ones who can see it. Hishou is reminded of his vision, and wonders whether this is one of the "chouma" his future self was talking about.

When the chouma hunts Kirari to the elevator, and the fake zodiac drops to the floor, he notices it's not what he was looking for. Kirari is unusually determined and steady for a normal girl, however. "I made it. But I have to hold on."

When the chouma corners her on the roof, he snickers: "Normal people cannot see me. But you can. I wonder why this is so, ne?" This is why he is still following her - he is intrigued. Then Hishou bashes him over the head, and asks him whether he is one of the "chouma". "How do you know about that?" the monster asks him, and smashes him against the wall.

Hishou has a flashback to a time he and Ruri were in the school library, talking.
"There are so many stories, aren't there," she says.
"Uhm."
"It seems like everything has been written in here."
"Is something worrying you?"
"I wonder whether there's a story just about me?
"If there is something I can do, just tell me."

At least, that's what I THINK they're saying. :-) Damn, what that chouma says is MUCH easier to translate ;-)))))

"I... Isn't there something I can do? Anything?" Hishou mumbles. Ace's voice snaps him out of it, as the feather tumbles down towards him again.

"There is something you can do. Something only we can do. You can become a Reideen."

Meanwhile, Kirari nearly falls down the side of the building.

"Well, accept it already! Take the God Phaser!" (This is what the feather is called, and what Ace calls it in the very first scene, BTW)

Hishou transforms, fights the chouma yadda yadda testosterone

He also says "This body seems to remember how to fight!" Well, what a way to explain the flashy moves.. ;-)

Luci watches from afar, and chuckles. "My my, those Reideen are a nuissance. But once I've got the Zodiac, they won't stand a chance." Or something to that effect. :-)

Ace and Reiko also watch the scene

Ace: "It looks like Reideen Eagle has finally awakened."
Reiko: "It'll get more lively now that it's not just us. This will be fun."
