History Recap / NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWaterE37EmperorNeo

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Gargyole and Electra's Info Dumps regarding humanity's true origin. The ancient Atlantean refugees were too few in number to rebuild their civilization on Earth on their own. So, genetic engineering was employed to remake humanity into a viable servant race and remade in their creator’s images. This sets up the big reveal in Episode 39 about the fate of the original biological Atlanteans.

* NeverFoundTheBody: In a contrast to Episode 21 (when he was suspicious the ''Nautilus'' had sunk in Episode 15) Gargoyle actually believes Nemo is ''truly'' dead this time after nuking Tartessos. It's justified, as he believes he's won and is now DrunkOnTheDarkSide. That being said, he's more resigned and annoyed than shocked when Nemo ''does'' turn up alive again.

Nadia is brought aboard ''Red Noah'' again, this time as it hovers in the sky, dwarfing even Gargoyle's battleships.

There Gargoyle shows Nadia the ancient history of Atlantis, including an experimental massive "human" called Adam, and failed creations hovering in jars. She also meets Emperor Neo, who turns out to be none other than her long-lost brother -- a mechanical puppet under Gargoyle's control.

Meanwhile, the ''New Nautilus'' has survived the destruction of Tartessos and sets off to fight back. Neo threatens the people around the world to surrender England, but just as the weapon fires, the ''New Nautilus'' intervenes, and the two crafts are face to face.

* SaveTheWorldClimax: 36 episodes ago, this was a show about a pair of teenagers being pursued across Europe by a trio of jewel thieves in funny steampunk pank. Now, with 3 episodes left, said teenagers ''and'' thieves are at the center of a battle for fate of the entire planet and humanity itself.

* SuicideMission: Nemo fully expects this final confrontation to be one and tries to dissuade his crew, the Grandis Gang, and Jean from following him into battle. Apart from non-combat personnel (like Marie) and injured crewmen, everybody ignores him and still volunteers.

* LineInTheSand: Nemo does this before departing for the final battle. It's easier to list the people who ''don't''
cross the line and join him: the seriously wounded, one nurse to tend to them, Ayerton, Marie, and King.

* TheUnreveal: Neo's confession that he didn't kill Nadia and let her escape Tartessos 13 years ago is the closest answer we ever get as to how Nadia survived her homeland's destruction (let alone who sold her into the Circus). It's frustratingly one of the biggest loose ends the show doesn't tie up.

* SaveTheWorldClimax: When the series opens, it focuses on a pair of teenagers being pursued by jewel thieves. Over 30 episodes later, our protagonists are now at the center of a battle for the entire planet.

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Throughout the series, Gargoyle's been taking generous sips from the chalice, so to speak. But this episode shifts it into full-on roaring drunk for the final episodes. The shift is justified in-universe, as recovering ''Red Noah'' and the Blue Waters (and Nemo's presumed death at Tartessos) means Gargoyle has effectively won. So, that certainty of victory is eroding what modicum of restraint he had on his megalomania and will lead to instances of BondVillainStupidity Gargoyle wouldn't have made earlier in the series.

* GoGoEnslavement: Nadia has been clothed with a purple Neo Atlante combinaison. Played with as this new outfit is ''more modest'' than her circus outfit.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Late 19th Century Earth vs. a secret society wielding a miles-long alien battleship with ancient weaponry that can crack a planet. Earth is ''screwed'' and has ''no'' way or means of resisting such power and force.

* TwoScenesOneDialogue: Nadia and Gargoyle on the side, Jean and Electra on the other side, are having the same discussion about mankind's origins.

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: The ''N-Nautilus'' is a leftover space-craft from the original Atlantean voyage to Earth 2 millions years ago. It's been buried under Tartessos for thousands of years and the crew had to excavate it and bring it up to speed (as was also established in the previous episode).

* NobodyCouldSurviveThat: Given the power and size of the nuke they dropped in Tartessos, Gargoyle's people (incorrectly) conclude the ''N-Nautilus'' blew up with it.

* NeverFoundTheBody: Gargoyle actually believes Nemo is ''truly'' dead this time after nuking Tartessos. It's justified, as he believes he's won and is now DrunkOnTheDarkSide. That being said, he's more resigned and annoyed than shocked when Nemo ''does'' turn up alive again.
