Eureka Seven AO

Synopsis

Continues the story of Eureka Seven

In the quiet town of Bellforest, 14-year-old Renton Thurston longs to escape his ordinary life and join the mercenary group Gekkostate. Torn between his grandfather's push for him to become a mechanic and the shadow of his deceased father, Renton finds his only thrill in riding Trapar wave particles, a local form of air surfing. Everything changes when a strange object crashes into his home—an advanced mecha called the Nirvash typeZERO, built to ride the Trapar waves. Its pilot is Eureka, a young Gekkostate member who asks for Renton's help maintaining the machine. This chance encounter launches Renton into a new adventure as he becomes the Nirvash's co-pilot alongside Eureka.

In this installment

The story takes place on the isolated island of Iwado in Okinawa, where a movement is growing that calls for a return to self-governance. Ao Fukai, a twelve-year-old boy whose father is absent, lives on the island with an elderly doctor named Toshio and is about to start middle school. Ao’s mother was taken away by unknown people ten years ago. Naru Arata, Ao’s twelve-year-old childhood friend and the story’s heroine, lives with her father, older sister, and grandmother. Because of an incident when she was young, she developed a power called "Yuta." Suddenly, a mysterious being known as "Secret" appears and attacks the Scub Coral lifeform on the island. In his strong desire to protect the island, Ao launches a certain military FP called "Nirvash" that is aboard a Japanese military transport.
