Sousei No Aquarion Season 1 Episode 1 Memories of an Angel

  • April 4, 2005

In the first episode of Sousei No Aquarion, titled "Memories of an Angel," we are introduced to a world that has been ravaged by some unknown disaster. A group of elite soldiers called the Shadow Angels has emerged, and they have been attacking the human race relentlessly for years. The only hope for humanity is a group of powerful warriors known as the Elements.

The episode opens with a flashback to 12,000 years ago when the world was also plagued by a similar disaster. A group of humans, known as the Genesis of Aquarion, built a giant mecha known as Aquarion to combat the unknown threat. They succeeded in defeating the enemy and saving humanity, and the world was reborn.

Back in the present day, we meet our main character, Apollo, a brash and impulsive young man who dreams of becoming an Element. He lives in a small town with his friends, Sirius and Silvia, who are also aspiring Elements. One day, while swimming in a lake, Apollo discovers a strange girl who has fallen from the sky. She has no memory of who she is or how she got there but seems to possess some strange powers.

As Apollo and his friends take the girl under their wing, they discover that she is being pursued by the Shadow Angels. The Angels are determined to capture her and use her powers for their own sinister purposes. But when Apollo's town comes under attack, he and his friends realize that they are the only ones who can defend their home.

Using a small prototype of Aquarion, piloted by our main characters, they take on the invading Shadow Angels. As they battle, the three pilots begin to feel a strange connection to each other. They realize that they are stronger together than they are alone. In a moment of desperation, they combine their machines to form a powerful new version of Aquarion.

The episode ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, with the group poised to counterattack against the Shadow Angels. We are left wondering what will become of the mysterious girl and what her true connection to the Shadow Angels is.

Overall, "Memories of an Angel" sets up the world of Sousei No Aquarion, introduces the main characters, and gets us invested in the struggle between the humans and the Shadow Angels. The first episode is action-packed and visually stunning, leaving us eager to see what comes next.
