Okay, so I don’t normally do theories with my blog but this thought just struck me after doing a “condensed” rewatch of Eureka Seven.
It namely has to do with the name of Hi-Evolution and some quotes from Episode 50: Wish Upon a Star. Most people that follow my blog probably have watched the show, but spoilers ahead just incase:
The first quote is from Nirvash and is as follows:
“However, Renton, Eureka, if on this planet an evolution takes place for the better and the two are able to become one, we will return and show ourselves in front of you once again.” (English Dub)
“If this world evolves for the better and two are able to become one, we will show ourselves before you once more.” (Japanese Dub)
The term, “evolution,” in some form, is present in both the original Japanese and English dubs (assuming they were translated well, of course.)
The second quote is from Gonzi:
“There really is no reason why there cannot be more than one path of evolution.” (English Dub)
“There’s no reason that there cannot be more than one path of evolution.” (Japanese Dub)
And again, we find the word, “evolution” popping up.
There’s no way this is coincidence. In both the Japanese and English the term evolution is used and focused on deliberately, and likely wasn’t chosen for lack of a better term during translation. I think that this is an indicator for how Hi-Evolution will go. Or rather, how the story will conclude. I think that this evolution will take place in the brand new ending. Source
It also helps that a lot of the original staff is returning too. Source.
Finally, I think that that title is implicitly telling us that we will see this evolution. The title is basically greeting this new evolution, “Hi-Evolution.”
So um, yeah, I really hope they do that because it would be really freakin’ clever and shit.
