Genesis of Aquarion

- Season 1

(2005)

When the Shadow Angels invade after 12,000 years of slumber, one young man - Apollo - could be the prophesized missing piece that finally completes Aquarion.

The Elements lose their edge, their souls unraveling in battle. Aquarion is torn asunder and the situation looks grim - until Apollo joins the fight!

Apollo reports for duty with the new Elements, making some of the more experienced pilots touchy. When an alien harvesting team appears in the city, veteran and rookie alike are pushed to the limits.

The recruits undergo a strange training exercise at the will of Gen Fudo, their new commander. Paying attention to the odd lesson could mean surviving versus perishing.

Apollo goes AWOL and the team is sent out to find him. His motivations for vanishing are personal, and his vendetta puts the whole team at risk.

Apollo and the other recruits begin work on their telekinetic abilities, enhancing the powers of their imaginations and spirits. The new techniques create a connection easily transferred into fighting strategy.

As the pressure for perfect unity mounts, the recruits' feelings are getting ragged. If victory is to be assured, the Vector pilots must embrace their darkness. Only in their weakness will true strength be found.

When you're one of the few recruits that haven't experienced a merge, it's easy to get the wrong idea about it. If you get too excited, things can get explosive.

A Harvest Beast has opened the door to human dreams and the Shadow Angels seem to be plucking children from their sleep. The fighters take an amazing risk to save them.

The Shadow Angels unleash a dreadful new weapon, designed to be guided by their most powerful warrior. Elements are seriously injured and must heal while the Vectors are repaired in the field.

A crisis of confidence has shaken Reika to the core, forcing the depressed pilot to leave the program and her partners behind.

An artifact from a holy scripture unleashes a flood of recollection, igniting the souls of Apollo and Silvia. Toma himself visits the Earth in a war machine - and Apollo is in the crosshairs.

Apollo may be a beast, but Toma knows his weakness: the loyalty that will allow the Shadow Angel access to the relic.

The Shadow Angels are depending on the Solar Wing to deliver them unto a new world - but who is the true Solar Wing? Silvia struggles to make sense of past lives and present frustrations.

Pierre has grown addicted to merging, and there's a real chance his mind will slip into madness if he ever does it again. When the Shadow Angels attack his hometown, Pierre must choose his fate.

The recruits grow uneasy when one among them is suspected of being a vampire. As rumors float through the base, mysterious sicknesses and strange encounters within the team have Silvia intrigued.

The Shadow Angels are disgusted by the gluttonous dreams of humanity. Exploiting the ultimate weakness as punishment, the Earth's food supply begins to vanish and the populace is soon starving.

To become intimately familiar with their partners, the Aquarion recruits are commanded to dress and act like their counterparts. Some will have their feelings hurt before the lessons of the exercise become clear.

As the pilots wander in a strange land of twisted dreams, Aquarion lays broken - and Apollo and the others struggle to stay sane.

A young Shadow Angel is captured and the creature is poked and prodded in a cold laboratory. The horrible result of the torture leaves two species boiling in anger

The Shadow Angels lust for revenge after the loss of one of their own. The line between good and evil begins to blur as secrets are revealed and bonds tested.

Ex-comrades meet on the battlegrounds of a new war. Element will fight Element, the dead will rise to fight their own, and the true Solar Wing will be revealed!

A next generation Aquarion appears and joins the fight, piloted by a victim of the unending war. As tradition and dreams clash, one girl takes a stand.

The Shadow Angels have gained the upper hand now that Sirius has joined them. Apollo must open the gates to Heaven and undertake a dangerous rescue mission - though it may already be too late.

The remaining members of the Aquarion team have broken through to Atlandia! Sirius and Apollo meet in combat, heading toward their final destiny.

The secrets of the Solar Wing have been revealed, and Aquarion may be forced to make the final sacrifice in order to save the souls of every sentient being.
