Eureka Seven AO 16

Generation Bleu use their stockpile of quartz to draw the Secrets to the Arctic Circle for destruction.

You destroyed all of us and we want compensation.

Ao's first kiss... too bad it's in dream land with a crazy chick.

Summary:
Generation Bleu launch their stockpile quartz in a capsule, and the capsule is designed to orbit Earth and draw away all of the humanoid Secrets that have appeared to the Arctic Circle away from populated areas. Team Pied Piper's job is to track the capsule and help draw any Secrets they come across to follow the capsule instead of attacking trapar plants. The team follows the capsule around the world, and Ao has some strange dreams involving Secrets, Eureka and Naru regarding whether if the Secrets or the Scub Corals are the enemy. Back in the Okinawan Islands, Naru defends the island's trapar plant against a Secret with the original Nirvash, but the Secret is drawn away by the quartz capsule.

From this angle, the quartz looks like a giant green bag of garbage.

With all of the Secrets on its tail, the quartz capsule heads for its final destination at the Arctic Ocean, but Truth hacks some Russian missiles into shooting down the capsule. Team Goldilocks is sent to shoot down the missiles. The team destroys all of the missile, but an explosion knocks the capsule slightly off course and it will land short of its target, which means the ensuing explosion will destroy most of Scandinavia including Chloe's hometown. Team Pied Piper attempts to use its IFOs to carry the capsule to its destination. Fleur has a try at carrying the capsule and tries to activate the Alleluia's 3rd engine for the extra boost, but the Alleluia has never been able to activate its 3rd engine and it fails to do so on this occasion. Elena tries to keep the Secrets at bay but the Kyrie is damaged by the Secrets' homing lasers. Ao heads out in the Nirvash to carry on alone. Ao breaks the capsule and lugs the quartz higher and higher into the sky as the Secrets follow suit. Suddenly, Ao's cockpit sparkles and the quartz turns into a giant weapon for Nirvash. Ao fires the weapon which rains down beams and destroys all of the Secrets in a spectacular light show.

Time for the Nirvash to get a BFG.

That's how you blow stuff up in style!

Afterwards, Ao and the team arrives at Chloe's supposed hometown but there is nothing there. Ao then finds that no one else seem to recall or recognize the existence of Team Goldilocks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ao blowing the Secrets up with the giant splitting beam weapon looked really, really pretty, but it doesn't change the fact that this show is getting a little too strange for my tastes. Things are already weird and confusing, and they are getting weirder and more confusing by the episode. In this episode, Generation Bleu manages to get rid of all of the Secrets, but the quartz actually turns into a weapon for the Nirvash and then afterwards everybody except Ao forgot about Team Goldilocks' existence? I guess Ao got sent to another dimension when he fired the weapon or somehow changed the fabrics of existence to wipe the Goldilocks off the Earth and everyone else's memories. The quartz turning into a Nirvash weapon may mean that LFOs such as the Nirvash are made from coral quartz, and that may explain why the Secrets target the Nirvash?...

To be honest, I don't even know what's going on with this show any more. Too many questions, too many weird twists and I am seriously starting doubt the show can deliver satisfying conclusions to everything. The only thing we can do is to see how this "Goldilocks" disappearance will be solved.
