In Eureka Seven season 1 episode 8, titled "Glorious Brilliance," the Gekkostate sets out on a mission to retrieve a special type of trapar particle from the Vodarac, a group of religious zealots who have been guarding it for generations. The particle, called Coralian, is said to have healing properties and is highly sought after by various factions in the series.

As the Gekkostate infiltrates the Vodarac's hidden base, Renton and Eureka are separated from the others and stumble upon a mysterious woman named Anemone, who is being held captive by the Vodarac. Anemone, who possesses unique abilities related to the control of trapar particles, warns Renton and Eureka that they are in danger and must leave the base immediately.

Meanwhile, Holland and the rest of the Gekkostate engage in a fierce battle with the Vodarac, who are determined to protect the Coralian particles at all costs. The intense action sequences and use of mechas in the battle scenes showcase the series' signature visual style and inventive design.

As Renton and Eureka attempt to escape the base, they encounter Anemone once again, who reveals that she is under the control of a mysterious entity known as the "Despair." Anemone's tragic backstory is slowly revealed throughout the episode, adding depth and complexity to her character.

The episode concludes with the Gekkostate successfully retrieving the Coralian particles and narrowly escaping the Vodarac's wrath. However, the implications of the Despair's existence and its impact on the larger narrative of Eureka Seven are left open for further exploration in later episodes.

"Glorious Brilliance" is a standout episode in Eureka Seven's first season, showcasing the series' unique blend of action, sci-fi, and emotional storytelling. It expands on the show's mythology and characters, while also providing thrilling mecha battles and stunning animation.
