Episode Six starts with Naota in school and his teacher is trying to teach
everyone how to use chopsticks (its fun! it prevent senility! its chopsticks!).
She sucks at using chopsticks. Naota and his friends (NInamori, Gaku, and the
other guy) are talking about split front peas or mushrooms or something. Naota
leaves the class. He talks about how ever since the events of Episode 5 smoke
has been flowing from the MM plant nonstop, and how Mabase seems to be isolated
from the rest of the world. This could also be used to describe Naota who after
being "shot down" by both Haruko and Mamimi in Episode 5 (Haruko fawning over
Canti, and Mamimi revealing she has no feelings for Naota), is feeling depressed
and isolated from the rest of his family, friends, ect.
Naota comes home, and then reveals that Canti and Haruko have left, without
saying so much as to why. Apparently, they are also listed as being fugitives (Amarao's
work, probably). They dont ever say why Haruko left, I assume it is because she
mistakenly thought that Canti was Atomsk (or contained Atomsk), but didnt
realize that part of Atomsk was also in Naota. Her return to Mabase signifies
that she realizes that Naota was instrumental in releasing the Atomsk power with
in Canti.
At Amarao's base, he and Kitsurubami are going over the status of the MM plant,
Haruko, and stuff. Amarao says that the hand wants to grab the MM plant iron,
and that Haruko is acting stupidly. MM is apparently going to use the plant/Iron
to do raze the earth, flatten it for some unkown purpose. According to Amarao,
Haruko/Rahal is not acting in the best interests of the Earth...They mention
that the terminal core (which was bashed out of the hand in Episode 5) is needed
to get the hand to start moving again. They decide it is necessary to capture
the T.C.
Mamimi is under the bridge, and calling for Ta-Kun (the cat). She cant seem to
find him. Then, suddenly, a little robot dog thing pops up. She feeds him her
cellphone (with Tasuku's phone number. Which probably means she has given up on
the facade that he and she are anything other than just aquantences). She names
it Ta-Kun. This is the terminal core. A guy on a bike splashed Mamimi and doesnt
stop to apologize. Mamimi jots the guys liscence plate down in a book.
Naota and his friends are walking. They see Mamimi looking for Ta-Kun (cat) in
the water. They say something like "Hey, Naota, isnt that your girlfriend?"
Naota leaves without saying anything. He is walking off on his own when Amarao
finds him. Amarao makes up some whacked up explanation for why Naota shouldnt
drink the sour stuff. He slaps on a pair of huge eyebrows on Naota as well. He
also tells him not to trust Haruko.
Naota goes home. He sits on his bed with his Guitar from episode 4. Remembering
Haruko. Kamon calls Naota for dinner, Naota approached the kichten area much
like he does in episode 1....and then we switch to Manga mode again. Haruko is
back. The eyebrows fall of Naota. Haruko claims she just went on a vacation to
hawaii. Naota says no idiot would go on a leasiurely vacation while being a
wanted criminal. Haruko dances around. Kamon gets naked. Kamon gets obsessed
with furing and kuring again. Manga scene ends. Haruko smashed Naota a couple of
times with her guitar, and then his new "horn" appears. We also get a shot of
the MM plant warming up.
Naota and Haruko are in Naota's room. Naota asks why she left, and why she came
back. She says that she just needs Naota's head. Naota makes her promise not to
leave him again without saying anything.
Mamimi begins feeding Ta-Kun (robot) more and more stuff. Cellphones she stole
from high schoolers that bullied her, and later bikes and cars of people who
splashed her. She is getting her revenge.
Haruko and Naota run away together. Naota has been missing from school for
several days. Ninamori says he just needs to open up and speak whats in his
heart, like she did to her parents. It solved her problems, it should solve
Naotas.
Kitsurubami and Amarao find some of the wreckage from the battle in episode 5.
But they cant find the terminal core. Amarao says that the same thing almost
happened to his planet as well.
Haruko and Naota are eating ramon noodles off somewhere in town. Naota asks if
it is Haruko's job to fight the Medical Mechcanica. Haruko grins, and says that
they took something she really wants. And now she is trying to get it back. This
kinda further shows that what Amarao said of Haruko was true: She isnt fighting
the MM to protect the earth....she is oding it for selfish reasons.
During the night, Mamimi is taking Ta-Kun (robot) for a walk. She is going to be
feeding him all sorts of bikes and vespas and stuff.
In the morning, Ninamori finds Haruko and Naota sleeping on a park bench. She
doesnt seem to care. She sees them, and leaves. Mamimi lost track of time, and
is now trying to get Ta-Kun back to the river to hide....Well, Ta-Kun got a lot
bigger, and kinda goes on a rampage eating all sorts of crap. He eats Gaku's
truck from episode 5.
Cut to Naota's home. Naota's teacher, Miyajun, is visiting with Kamon to find
out why Naota is gone. Kamon rambles on about hamsters, typical Kamon. The
terminal core comes by and eats Miyajun's new car, Amarao and Kitsurubami spot
it and start following it. They find Canti, who is a crossing guard (ha, ha).
Canti and the terminal core merge.
Haruko wakes up and gets Naota and her on her Vespa. They start chasing after
the T.C. as well. The T.C. (merged with Canti) is going towards the giant hand.
It is trying to fill in the hole in the hand, but cant. As Amarao says,
"something is missing from it synching properly.". Haruko and Naota appear over
Amarao's head...Amarao realizes whats going to happen. He shoots at them, and
they fall down.
Amarao scolds Naota, telling him he should be wearing the eyebrows, and that
Haruko is dangerous. He says that Haruko will destroy the world for what she
wants. Naota ignores him and goes to Haruko. Haruko hits Naota into the Terminal
Core which then merges with the hand. Here we find out what the MM is really
about, and where Atomsk fits in. The MM go around destroying/flattening planets
for some unkown reason (perhaps to build off of them? An outsider may see us
cutting down forests and leveling hills as odd, and retarded). They captured
Atomsk and have been using his power to help do this. With the Terminal Core and
Atomsk now within the hand, it has the power to activate the plant, under MM
control, and raze earth. Haruko says she doesnt care about the earth.
Apparently, Haruko decided that when the break-out failed in Episode 1, and
after repeat attempts to get Atomsk out (who, in reality was already outside)
failed, that getting the MM to activate the plant to draw out Atomsk that way.
(In episode 4 she was disrupting negotiations between Earth Gov and MM, trying
to piss MM off to start up the plant. In episode 5 she attacked the hand, which
she thought had the Atomsk powered T.C. in it. then she realized that Canti had
Atomsk all along (well, Canti and Naota, but she didnt know Naota had part of
it). She left with Canti, and what she thought was also Atomsk, in the beginning
of episode 6. then she realized some time on her "vacation" that Naota was also
necessary. Now she has merged Naota with Canti with the Terminal Core in order
to get the MM to use Atomsk's power, so she can smash it out.)
The hand activates and is about to grab the iron/MM plant when something stops
it from completely grabbing it. Canti. The MM seems to have underestimated
Atomsks and Naota's willpower, as he somehow escaped the inners of the hand.
Naota then pulls himself from Canti's "head", and he is glowing red. Notice,
after he leaves Canti, Canti is no longer read. Canti's portion of the Atomsk
power is gone. HIs bandage comes off revealing the mark of Atomsk (his latest
horn). He has absorbed the complete power of Atomsk, that which Haruko desires.
He destroys the hand, and is holding two guitars. Naota's guitar from episode 4,
and Canti's guitar (the 19something Gibsen) from episode 5. Haruko's bracelet
goes wild. Haruko is angry because Naota has claimed the power she wanted. They
fight. Haruko goes into full offensive, and Naota defends. Practically
effortlessly.
Amarao decides that this is the perfect oppurtunity to get rid of everyone. He
probably figures that if Naota destroys/kills Haruko (hah, yeah right) then they
could hopefully contain Naota (he is a kid after all...right, Amarao?)...but
things dont turn out that way.
Haruko makes a large swing at Naota, and Naota stops it with his hand, then
tosses her guitar away. Haruko falls to the ground. Naota's two guitars kinda
merge. Naota charges Haruko, Amarao says to show her no mercy. Naota stops just
before Haruko and speaks what is in his heart..just as Ninamori said he
should...well, that goes ahead and does it, and Atomsk emerges from within Naota.
Atomsk pops out and reveals himself in all of his glory. His pressence draws the
matter of everything (inanimate it seems) around him to him, like a blackhole.
Atomsk sits therefor a while, and then sorta implodes on himself and flies away.
Haruko watches her bracelet as it slowly stops tingling.
Haruko bids Naota farewell, as she has to go search for Atomsk again. She takes
the merged guitars with her. Naota is left behind. He finds Haruko's guitar in
the wreckage and keeps it for his own. He talks about how Mamimi left and become
some famous photographer, and he is now in middle school. He seems to have
accepted who he is, and is ready to actually start the process of growing up.
