Heroic Age 25: Key + Door = Stargate?
Posted in Anime, Heroic Age on Sep 27th, 2007 By Runningkid




Summary(short): With the help of Mehitaka, Lekti and Karukinus, Age manages to gain the power of the golden tribe. With this he defeats Cerberus and opens a gate to where the golden tribe has migrated.
Thoughts: The episode was confusing and I still don’t really understand the details to what happened. I guess the main point is that they have now opened a gateway to where the golden tribe has migrated to. A few things still left unanswered, like where exactly is this “place” where the golden tribe has moved to. But there is a question thats probably rattling in all our minds; what happened to Age? Even though this isn’t a sunrise show, it seems like no one has actually died yet. On top of that the next episode is titled “Age”, so for now I will keep hold of the idea that hes still alive


As I’ve mentioned, the little details were a bit confusing to me but what ever it was, the action was quite cool. Especially that “gate”, Mehitaka formed, it reminds me a lot of Stargate, not only the shape but apparently it also leads to some where far away. Although, I didn’t expect Belcross to literally start flashing gold when he acquired the golden tribe’s power; perhaps xebec could have been a little more creative in that sense.
The next episode should wrap things up and most importantly… explain. I am curious as to how the silver tribe will react, pretty sure the “Rome Ro” faction will be glad they were wrong about being ditched. The pacing is quite good, they’ve actually left one who episode after the final battle (assuming this was the final fight). Lets hope they explain a bit more and don’t screw up the ending.
Stargate? Some people hate this anime because it resembles “Starcraft” to a lot of people >_>; (a lot animesuki members when it started airing) Now that was a really short summary…. I’ll be watching it soon in about an hour or two and comment back here myself. :S
Sorry about the short summary, since I didn’t fully understand the episode I rather not summarise the wrong thing. Stargate sci-fi show about a ring that leads to other planets, so… abit like this “door” in heroic age.
Okies… let me see if I can explain myself, to runnie and everyone else. XD
With Bellcross’s(Age) return, he managed to save the ship. Having Romero Ro to quickly teleport away from Bellcross’s attack - suddenly having no barrier to protect himself, Iolaus appeared right before him to attack with all his strength against the Silver Tribe - somehow Rome Ro managed to survive using some of his shield although injured ended up with a booboo on his head from a bump of human’s power(It seems the Silver Tribe can die from the Iron Tribe’s powers even with a simple bullet & gun).
Mean while back into the deep space, Yuti has just experienced her first puberty(mental chaos) going insane by following the contract of(can’t exactly remember the words) “if other tribes besides the silver tribe get their hands on the power of the golden tribe, it must be destroyed.” well something like that. Peato has gone to the light side along with the other good silver tribe members - Rome Ro reached his emo level(complete maniac for the destruction of the iron tribe + jealousy).
By what Lekti mean by “Our last contract”, protect & save Yuti. Mehitaka managed to resist the Mental Chaos state. The “Lekti’s talk to herself scene!” is her understanding of her Heroes power, the power of time & regeneration; showing what would happen if she did not use her complete power from Erymanthos, destruction of the planet Elysion including the deaths of everyone within the planet. Using Erymanthos’s power, Lekti managed to use her true power to lead Bellcross the power of whats left by the Golden Tribe - not just that, for Bellcross to obtain the power of the Golden Tribe(become the planet itself) Lekti yet again fully understanding her powers she used more of her true powers by bringing Bellcross’s(Surpassing time by warping Age to help himself manage the power to become a vessel with 100,000 of Bellcross himself) before the destruction of Elyson by Yuti’s Mental Chaos.
With Artemia knocked down to the planet, Cerberus managed to take control of the “window/door”(whatever you want to call it) to use her powers against the planet, in other words a door which leads to the nothingness. As for the ending, I am a bit confused myself. Was it Age suppose to be inside? Age’s death? Age summoned before the Golden Tribe? A sign? Blahblahblah… I guess I’ll understand what that was on the final episode. >_>;
This is but what understood myself - it be nice if someone else helped us here. X’D
Re Age:
Don’t fully get it all myself, but it seems to me that Age absorbed the powers of the Golden Tribe (left behind on Elysion) into himself. The result of this is that his entire body became the “Key”. As Lehkti said, “Age is the key”.
Bellcross (Age) launched himelf at the door (Yuti’s emptiness or nothingness portal), thus inserting the key into the door, so to speak. In this process, Belcrosses body disintegrates, or is all used up to open the door. The exception is that an Orb containing Age and Bellcrosses essence was left behind (reuturned ?) on the planet Elysion.
When Deinara touches that Orb, it crack up allowing that essnce to be released, and as the anime shows, Ages essence acends into the newly created portal to where the Golden Tribe went.
Seems to me that Age has gone through the gate/portal to his “Fathers” as he calls the Golden Tribe. If that is what happened, Age is safe. In fact, Age still has one last contract to fullfill, that is to restore the planet Oron.
We all look forward to seeing the ending to this spectacular series.
Yea I think the main idea is the “key” and the “door”, still though, a little confusing. I am pretty sure Age isn’t dead though, since the next episode is called “Age”. Also, we should get to know a little bit more about the golden tribes and why they really left the galaxy.
Thanks guys for your inputs, did help understand the episode a little more.
Bellcross was the key and Cerberus was the door because Cerberus represents “nothingness” (void) and Bellcross “existence”. I understood that “something” must be put into “nothing” to create new possibilities for the universe, or better said, “you must go to where nobody has gone”. Like Deianeira’s opinion that was the real mission the Golden Tribe gave to the others by saying “Come out”.
I liked the episode very much. It was so sad to see Yuti in mental chaos, she was sacrificing her self just to keep destroying everything (just like Bellcross did before). I think she couldn’t control herself, like Age, because this was the first time she was in that situation. Seeing the 4 nodoss fighting to save her was memorable. I’ll love this episode forever!
Rome Ro stills alive. But seeing their “fathers”, must have moved something inside him to make him change (i hope), just like Yuti accepted she loves Karukinus. Very lovely that embracing scene. The new episode is coming, so we’ll see what future await for our dear friends.
Byee byee!!
Just saw the last episode, but will not say aniything until eevryone else watch it…
One of the best shows this past Spring.
