Anime / Eureka SeveN

"I can fly!"^note From left to right: Eureka and Renton Thurston.

Eureka Seven (AKA Kōkyōshihen Eureka Sebun or Psalms of Planets Eureka seveN) is a 50-episode sci-fi mecha anime first broadcast in Japan from 2005 to 2006 and produced by acclaimed animation company Studio BONES. It was later picked up in the US for Cartoon Network's [adult swim] block. It has since aired on US television via Toonami.

The story concerns Renton Thurston, a 14-year old boy leading an uneventful life with his grandfather after losing his father (who was involved in narrowly averting a planetwide catastrophe called The Summer of Love) and sister (who set out to look for her father, and who Renton regards as a mother figure). However, his life is changed forever when he meets and falls for Eureka, a mysterious LFO pilot who serves in Gekkostate, an anti-military group under the guise of a counter-cultural commune. The rest of the series focuses on Renton and Eureka's growing relationship and involves general themes of love, acceptance, and the tolls of war. It also involves Sky Surfing mecha, super-intelligent alien lifeforms, evil master plans, more than a few mind screws, and more musical references than one can count.

Perhaps most notable for being a sci-fi action show in which the hero's romance is at the very core of the story; none of the usual tacked-on romantic subplots or sudden end-of-series couplings here. The often-bumpy evolution of Renton and Eureka's relationship (along with a couple of others) forms the backbone of the entire plot.

Two Video Games and two manga series were later made, the games and one series serving as a prequel focusing on other characters (two of which did a split second cameo in the show) and one manga series set in an Alternate Universe. That one is noticeably darker, with severe damage and death among the main cast, actively malevolent Coralians, and a Downer Ending.

A sort of Compilation Movie premiered in 2009, subtitled good night, sleep tight, young lovers.^note The Japanese subtitle literally translates as "Pocketful of Rainbows" but they still use the English subtitle "good night, sleep tight, young lovers" within Japan. It's all very confusing. The movie is set in an Alternate Universe from the series, but still features most of the main characters.

This series showed up Super Robot Wars Z, with The Movie appearing in the sequel.

A Sequel Series, Eureka Seven AO, debuted in April 2012.

In March 2017, a new film trilogy based on the original series titled Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution was announced. It was released in 2017, 2018, and 2021. Similar to Rebuild of Evangelion, the films re-tell the story of the anime while adding new material, such as showing The Summer of Love onscreen for the first time, the subject of the first film. The second of these films goes into yet another divergent universe and centers around Anemone, who is the heroine of the story, which has an even closer inspiration drawn from Evangelion.

Has nothing to do with Eureka or Eureeka's Castle, or to the interjection "eureka!" In fact, it's pronounced Eu-Recca, not You-Ree-Kah. It kind of sounds like "Erika", but with an accent (especially if you speak English), and at other times comes out as "El-rekka".

While most spoilers are covered, a decent amount of entries will not have spoiler tags. Read at your own risk.

Tropes specifically found in Eureka Seven Good Night Sleep Tight Young Lovers and Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution should go on their pages, not this one.

All character tropes should go to the Eureka Seven character pages. If there's a Eureka Seven character, they are in that index somewhere.

---

Eureka Seven contains examples of:

A-F

• Aesop Amnesia: Eureka's kids learn at least twice directly, and numerous times by being on the ship, that Renton will do anything to protect her. They completely forget this in the last few episodes and a painful, both for the viewers and for the characters, reeducation takes place.
• All for Nothing: Holland's attempt to make Eureka accept him as The Chosen One and deny her relationship with Renton eventually becomes this. In the end, Renton becomes the person destined to make Eureka smile and Holland is The Unchosen One.
• All Men Are Perverts: In "Date of Birth", when Renton is caught looking in a porn magazine for advice on how to patch things up with Eureka after a miscommunication regarding her relationship with his father, the other members of the Gekko think that the tension between the two is because Renton has been pressuring Eureka for sex. While the women on the ship counsel Eureka about resisting unwanted advances, the men come to Renton's room with whole stack of porn and start redecorating his room according to instructions in the magazines to make an atmosphere suited to seduction, well, with the exception of Holland, who is NOT amused, with predictable results.
  "RENTON! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
• All Your Colors Combined: The "Seven Swell" and other Amita Drive-specific effects.
• Almost Kiss: In "Animal Attack," Renton is about to kiss Eureka after a heartwarming moment, but just as he comes close, Eureka senses that the Nirvash is in pain and rushes off.
• Alternate Continuity: The relationship between the anime and the manga.
  • Some characters like Holland's animosity with Renton are changed in personality or behavior.
  • The symbolism is drastically different the anime showing lots of color and using heartfelt words like "love" and "emotion" frequently, while the manga has much dark imagery and lots of blood
  • Certain characters die in the manga that do not in the anime Dominic for example.
  • Many characters from the anime outright don't appear in the manga (Lady Sakuya, Master Norb, Ray and Charles, many side characters and one-offs) and one video game only character (Ruri) gains a prominent role in the main story line.
  • The relationship between Renton's family and the plot changes: Renton's grandfather Axel helps repair the Nirvash during the story, as well as being its builder. Renton's father Adroc is still a hero, but was also Holland and Dewey's personal mentor who got assassinated by Dewey as opposed to disappearing by stopping the Summer of Love Incident. Diane, Renton's sister, still leaves home and disappears but her relationship with Holland is practically non-existent and her ultimate fate is not revealed.
  • The Coralians are totally different between each media the anime points them as noble beings who want to live in peace with the people of the Earth, while the manga shows them as Eldritch Abominations hellbent on devouring planets
  • The endings are totally different one very upbeat with a happy ending, the other extremely depressing with a much darker and sadder tone.
• Alternate Universe: The beginning of "Pacific State," where they show what it would be like if the cast was on Earth (before the scub came) and surfed instead of lifted.
• Amazing Freaking Grace: The fourth theme song is based around the song, prominently sampling a performance of it during the song's intro, choruses and outro.
• Ambiguous Gender: Nirvash. Eureka refers to it throughout the series as being male, but there are a couple times where other characters refer to it as female and when Nirvash finally speaks in the final episodes, it's with a clearly female voice. Given its origins, Nirvash may not have a defined or set gender.
• Ambiguous Robots: Most of the flying vehicles.
• Animation Bump: During "Shout to the Top!" when Holland made a Kamikaze attack at Dewey's ship.
• Anti-Villain:
  • Anemone and Dominic. The latter barely even qualifies as a villain.
  • The Beams, who aside from their Ax-Crazy behavior regarding Eureka, are decent people.
• Arc Words: This show is a breeding ground for arc words. "Coralians", "Great Wall", "Oratorio #8"...
• Artistic License – Physics: The Limit of Questions is actually based on real physics, though stylized. The implication is that there's such sheer informational density in the Scub Coral biomass that it would cause a black hole, which is scientifically plausible.
  • Hollywood Skydiving is both present and Averted; on the one hand people have conversations while falling in the climax, but on the other Giant Robot Hands Save Lives is averted in every instance as they match speeds before picking up falling people.
  • The revelation in the climax that the visible world is actually a shell 100 kilometers thick above the actual Earth, made from Scub Coral, also includes atmosphere and sunlight below the ground. Justified in that Scub Coral can bend reality.
• Aristocrats Are Evil: Dewey Novak, to a lesser extent the Council of Sages. Holland, though, is just a jerk.
• Armies Are Evil: Generally based on the protagonist's group being outlaw rebels.
• Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: What humans and Coralians should do in order to avoid reaching the Limit of Questions, thereby destroying the universe. Eventually it happens; partially. The Scub Coral split universes; one where humans live and one where they live, and one day they will communicate again.
• Attempted Rape: Some punks to drunk Talho in Vivid Bit.
• Battle Couple: Renton and Eureka, obviously. The full potential of their Humongous Mecha is only unlocked by The Power of Love. Also, Charles and Ray Beams, Hilda and Mathieu qualify as well, if you do count them as a couple. There are also couples where one member takes part in combat while the other plays more of a supporting role in the battle: for example, Holland (the front-lines fighter) and Talho (the support).
• Beam Spam: Used with homing lasers, typically resulting in High Speed Laser Dodging. Which makes no sense whatsoever, but is freaking awesome.
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Subverted. Eureka gets some nasty-looking scars that last for quite some time. She even gets reasonably self-conscious about them.
• Beta Couple: There are two, really. Talho and Holland. And Anemone and Dominic.
  • Subverted since Dominic and Anemone face loads of troubles in their relationship throughout the series, and thus their relationship is more of a parallel to the main pair than a mere Beta Couple. The same may also be said for Holland and Talho. A true Beta Couple from the series would be Moondoggie and Gidget.
• Berserk Button: Renton goes brutally psycho over his opponents at the end of "Substance Abuse" in a deadly combination of his love for Eureka, his hatred towards Holland and frustration with his own immaturity. It does not end well (See Freak Out entry below).
• Beware the Nice Ones:
  • Charles and Ray are kind, loving people, but are also merciless mercenaries with a grudge against the Gekko and Eureka.
  • Don't underestimate Renton, especially if you threaten Eureka or Gekkostate.
• The Bible: Is apparently one of the few books that has survived to the year 12000.
• Big Bad: Dewey Novak.
• Big "NO!": Holland does one after they lose contact with Dominic.
• The Big Damn Kiss: Three of them happen in the final episodes of Eureka Seven. The first occurs in "Shout to the Top!" between Dominic and Anemone and the other two in "Wish Upon a Star" between Eureka and Renton. Two of them take place in mid-air.
• Bittersweet Ending/Downer Ending: The manga.
• Bland-Name Product:
  • "Smickers" bars, "Bind Aid" bandages, "Rersi" cola and "Yuhoo", among others.
  • In "The Beginning," there's also a brief sighting of what looks like a Domino's Pizza sign (it's in the background a few moments after a little girl throws a flower pot at Dominic). Since it's so far away, the only noticeable difference is in the dots.
  • The Movie features a printout from Ryukipedia.
• Bloody Horror: When Eureka discovers her future adopted children, they're covered in the blood of their family that Eureka just killed.
• Body Horror: When Eureka's Coralian features begin to show towards the end of the series, one of the first stages of her transformation included growing giant luminescent boils growing all over the left side of her body. The human experimentation in Warsaw to turn humans into Coralians also qualifies.
• Break the Cutie:
  • Heartwarmingly Subverted: Renton and Eureka suffer time and time again, until finally, their love for each other surpasses this pain and erases it forever, complete with True Love's Kiss.
  • Anemone is already broken by the time Dominic gets to her, but he's able to bring her back.
• Breather Episode: "Join the Future," the soccer episode, lampshaded by Master Norb.
• Broken Pedestal:
  • Holland and the rest of the Gekkostate for Renton, who idolized them before joining. Holland particularly, when he beats the crap out of Renton and acts like a child. By the end of the series it's clear he respects them immensely, but his view of them is now grounded in reality.
  • Charles and Ray Beams also become one for Renton after he realizes that they want to kill Eureka and the Gekkostate.
• Cain and Abel: Holland is Abel and Dewey is Cain.
• Calling Your Attacks: Anemone does this occasionally, though it may be part of how theEND operates. Moondoggie calls out names for his shots in the soccer episode. Renton's guilty of this on more than one occasion.
• Catapult Nightmare: Renton wakes up screaming at the beginning of "Runaway," reliving the trauma he underwent at the end of the previous episode.
• Catchphrase: Renton's "Saiyaku da" ("This sucks") or just plain "Saiyaku" ("sucky"). He eventually stop using it as the series goes on. Not enough for it to continue being his catch phrase anyway.
• Central Theme:
  • Love overcomes war.
  • In the audio commentary of the final episode, Kaori Nazuka (Eureka's VA) sums the show up as "not about the technology, but a story about how the heart grows." This is exampled directly below.
• Character Development: Tons. Renton grows up, Eureka becomes emotional, Holland grows up a little and stops running from his past, and Talho develops from Cool Big Sis to Team Mom.
• Chekhov's Gun: A lot of things from early, lighthearted episodes become either important later on, or serve as heart-breaking reminders of when things were happier and come back to bite everyone.
  • In-Universe, Holland wonders if he'll ever find a use for the bottle of luminescent yellow liquid that was given to him by Tiptory at Ciudades del Cielo.
• Chekhov's Gunman: Gulliver spends most of the series sleeping or lying around, but in "Ballet Méchanique" he's crucial to bringing Dominic and Anemone together.
• The Chew Toy: Renton is never safe from the world's abuse. He stops being one after he comes back from Ray and Charles. Any misfortune he suffers afterward isn't very intentional, or is equally shared with other people.
• Color Failure: Happens to Renton occasionally in some of the earlier episodes, mostly when other characters point out things that make it seem like he has no chance with Eureka. The kids give it to him so hard that he emits an aura that extends out to the scenery around him.
• Comfort Food: At a loss for what else to do in the midst of his Heroic BSoD, Renton eats bag after bag of potato chips in "Runaway".
• Coming of Age Story: For Renton primarily, but also for Eureka and her adopted children.
• Continuity Nod: In the manga, Moondoggie recognizes Ruri when the rest of Gekkostate (sans Holland) doesn't, presumably as a reference to the two of them having been friends in New Vision when Moondoggie temporarily left Gekkostate.
• Conveniently Close Planet: The Moon at the very last shot.
• Cool Ship: The Gekko.
• Crazy Consumption: Anemone and jam. The way she eats it is horrifying, strangely fascinating, and possibly erotic.
• Creepy Child: Dewey's Ageha Squad.
• Crystal Dragon Jesus: Vodarac Religion. It's actually more along the lines of Crystal Dragon Ardhanarishvara. It seems Buddhist, it's actually more along the lines of Hindu.
• Cute and Psycho: Anemone, Ray after Charles' death
• Darker and Edgier: The manga is much darker than the series. The in-depth approach to the war themes and elevated violence pretty much set that. On the other hand, everything is so busy going wrong that the characters are generally a lot nicer.
• Dead Man's Switch: Dewey uses his suicide to attempt to prevent Anemone or Eureka from becoming the new Scub Coral Command Cluster which would destroy the world.
• Deface of the Moon: A normal couple would carve their names surrounded by a heart into a tree. Renton and Eureka's finale kiss sends a huge heart-shaped beam toward the moon which carves their names inside a heart across the surface.
• Despair Event Horizon:
  • Ray crosses this after Charles's death, and launches a suicidal attack on the Gekko.
  • Anemone reaches this after Dominic leaves.
  • Renton teeters on the edge of this after Eureka transforms and is taken from him.
• Didn't See That Coming: Dewey anticipated Holland would try to rescue Norb in "World's End Garden." He was not expecting the upgraded Nirvash, or Renton and Eureka (though he does realise later that he could have avoided that by reading Dominic's earlier report).
• Dies Wide Open: Charles.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: "Ballet Méchanique" drops one on a good chunk of humanity via shifted leylines and Kill Sat pieces, apparently targeting people with Desperation Disease, including William and Martha. The specific reason why those particular people were targeted is never explained.
  • the manga does the same thing by the end
• Duality Motif: The Nirvash, in it's third form. For most of it's appearance you can only see its left eye, which is blue (Matching Renton). When it lifts its head to finally show it's right eye, which it had been covering by cocking it's head to the side, you see the eye color is purple (Matching Eureka).
• Dub-Induced Plotline Change: One of the loudspeaker mecha guys from episode #5 of the first series demanded for Talho to pay for his camera she destroyed with her body, in the English-language dub it was not specified how she'd have to pay.
• Embarrassing Middle Name: William B. Baxter.
• Empathic Weapon: The Nirvash primarily, but TheEND to some extent. Eureka and later Renton are the only ones who can understand Nirvash's "feelings".
• Emotionless Girl: Eureka before taking the kids in as her own. She was still pretty emotionless until she and Renton became closer.
• The End of the World as We Know It: The Coralians' existence threatens to negate reality itself by violating physical laws governing thought/space (similar to a black hole, which is a rupture in space/time) should the main node wake up from a self imposed sleep.
• Enemy Mine: Occurs in "The Beginning," in which Renton and Dominic are forced to work together in order to save Eureka and Anemone.
• Energy Weapon: Homing lasers as well as the more conventional goes-in-a-straight-line versions.
  • Justified by the effects of the Coralian cloud.
• Epic Fail: During their final confrontation, Dewey goes after Holland with the sword he always keeps at his side. Holland parries with his gun at first, then just dodges, causing Dewey to snap the blade like a twig on the metal floor. He immediately complains about the sword being fake.
• Episode Title Card
• Et Tu, Brute?: This is how Renton felt about Charles and Ray Beams towards the middle of the series. He initially viewed them as the family he's never had. Unfortunately, it turns out that they're mercenaries hell-bent on revenge towards the Gekko, especially Holland.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Axel's friend is simply known as "digger".
• Everything's Better with Rainbows: The whole series. One of the most memorable scenes from the first season takes place in a sea of rainbow clouds. It's even named just that.
• Evil Counterpart: Anemone, to Eureka. Subverted in that Anemone's not a Coralian, but rather a drugged-up and experimented human girl who suffers from Desperation Disease. She also performs a last-minute Heel–Face Turn.
• Evil Plan: Dewey's plan to wipe out the Coralians, and humanity with them.
• Exact Time to Failure: The Antibody Coralians can only remain alive for 1246 seconds (20 minutes 46 seconds).
• Extra-Long Episode: The last two episodes, "Shout to the Top!" and "Wish Upon a Star", first aired in Japan as a one-hour finale special.
• Expy:
  • According to Word of God, Stoner intentionally bears a resemblance to Che Guevera, down to the facial hair and the red beret.
  • Aside from their fashion sense, Jobs and Woz do match their inspirations (Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak) pretty well.
  • Many characters and especially their relationships are expies of those from Gundam, mainly After War Gundam X (Eureka of Tiffa, Renton of Garrod, Holland of Jamil Neate and Talho of Sara Tyrrell) and the original Mobile Suit Gundam (the children, Ray and Charles of Hamon and Ramba Ral). Anemone also follows in the long tradition of tragic cyber-newtype girls, starting with Four Murasame in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
• Eyes Always Shut: Hap and Gonzy, the latter with good reason.
  • Subverted by Gonzy in the manga, as he opens his eyes numerous times
• Fan Disservice: One of Hap's few prominent scenes in the series was done while Holland was washing his hands and he was sitting on the john. Naked. Which we saw. Also one of the bits of series material they saw fit to reuse in The Movie.
• Fauxlosophic Narration
• Fee Fi Faux Pas: In "Opposite View," Eureka is quiet because she's worried about Renton being a better pilot for Nirvash. Renton tries to get her to talk by bragging about being a better pilot for Nirvash. With Renton only being a kid though, he really has no idea how inconsiderate he was being.
• The Fellowship Has Ended: By the time of The Day After, Gekkostate has been dissolved. Eureka and Renton have formally adopted the three kids, Holland and Talho retire to organize their own ref shop business, Hap and Stoner leave on their adventures, Mischa remarries Dr. Bear, and Ken-Goh, Moondoggie, Gidget, Jobs and Woz are now working for a shipping company.
• Filler: "Join the Future". The only thing even vaguely significant throughout the whole episode is the military press conference shown during very last minute, and even then the viewer probably could have assumed the events that happen there.
• Flight of Romance: Pretty much anytime Eureka and Renton are piloting the Nirvash.
  • Or the time they borrowed the two-person lift board from Talho? (Formerly pictured above.)
• Forced Bath: Gekko State seeks out the wisdom of Master Norb to help enlighten everyone on Renton and Eureka's special relationship, but his reputation precedes him. Holland orders the crew to draw a bath while he's transferring onboard the ship. After introductions are over, they drag him into the bath and wash him down good. In the following scene, he claims he had 50 years of dirt washed off him.
• Foreshadowing: A notable example in "Sky Rock Gate."
  Hilda: "When I think of the Nirvash as a female friend, everything falls into place." (Referring to why Nirvash and Eureka are having communication issues.)
  • In "The Sunshine Underground", Renton, Eureka, the children, and Norb go to visit Sakuya. In her antechamber, there is a huge globe of the Earth, surrounded by the dome of the room.
• Freak Out: During the finale of "Substance Abuse". After the events that happened in the mine resulting in Eureka being covered in scub coral, Holland takes on a mercenary mission to help, but gets pinned down by enemy fire. Renton runs off with the Nirvash to rescue him. Due to the rising tension between him and Holland over the entire incident, Renton loses it and goes COMPLETELY BERSERK!, taking his frustrations out on an enemy KLF. This eventually causes a hallucination in which Renton envisions a blob overtaking the Nirvash, eventually reflecting his own face. It isn't until he sees the wedding ring on the dismembered arm of the pilot he just killed before he throws up and stops. It results in Renton's Heroic BSoD and later him leaving the Gekkostate for a while.
• Freefall Romance: Happens more than once. These kids don't seem at all fazed to find themselves skydiving with no parachute. In fact, just falling isn't dangerous enough, so in the third opening this happens in the middle of a Free-Fall Fight.
• Freeze-Frame Bonus: In the final episode the Thurston family register reveals Renton's grandmother is named Rose and his mother is named Blau, whose date of death being the same as his date of birth implies Death by Childbirth was the cause.
• Freudian Excuse: Ever wonder why Holland acts like a jerk and is emotionally immature at the beginning? Dewey Novak is his brother. Be very very thankful that he's as stable and well adjusted as he is. His childhood could not have been fun. It makes things all the more creepy when you realize that Holland is 10 years younger than Dewey, and that Dewey has a very disturbing penchant for surrounding himself with very young children, at the very least preying on their insecurities to turn them into mindless killers, if not doing... other things to them.
• Funbag Airbag: In the manga, Dominic accidentally walks face first in Ruri's breasts when he walks around a corner.
• Future Music: Acid House apparently survived into the future and interstellar travel.

G-L

• Gaia's Vengeance: And a particularly nasty case of it, albeit subverted in the series, in that the Scub really don't want to hurt humans at all, but the Antibody Coralians are an automated response.
  • Played straighter in the manga, where the scub coral are really coral reefs that grew out of control due to human experimentation and purposefully consumed all life on the planet.
• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Talho to Holland. Multiple times. Also to Renton. And to Eureka... Okay, so Talho does this a lot.
• God Was My Co-Pilot: The ending reveals that Gonzy, the old guy who sits around drinking tea, is actually a Coralian, watching over Eureka and Renton.
  • Averted in the manga, where Gonzy was just a former sage, and completely human.
• Gratuitous English: Tons of LFO and lifting related jargon are in English. Of course, there's also the plain, completely context free English...
  Charles: "Shōkai shiyō! Itoshi no MY WIFE."^note Let me introduce you to my darling wife.
• Gratuitous Spanish: Ciudades del Cielo, Controlado, Pancha, Yucatan Iglesias... Many of the plot-relevant areas have Spanish names, but numerous places shown on maps throughout the series are properly split among numerous languages including English and from the Eastern Bloc of Europe.
• Groin Attack: In "Vivid Bit", Talho kicks an attempted rapist between the legs.
• Happy Ending: For the characters, though the world, city, and technology suffered heavy damage. Averted in the manga.
• Heel–Face Turn: Many characters, including Anemone, Dominic, and Jurgens's entire crew. And TheEND, complete with it changing color from black to white.
• Heroic Sacrifice: TheEND saves Dominic and Anemone from a massive explosion, getting mostly disintegrated in the process.
  • Dominic, in the manga
• High-Speed Missile Dodge: Absolutely every fight in the series. The KLF missiles are even worse than those seen in Macross. Well, actually the KLF are very much cannon fodder whatever weapon they employ.
• Homeworld Evacuation: The anime takes place over 10,000 years after Mankind was forced to leave the Earth due to an unintentionally harmful alien life. Somewhere along the line, all of Humanity found a new place to settle down, completely forgetting and/or unaware that they just went back to Earth and live on a new surface that was created by the aliens. The real, perfectly inhabitable Earth, lay below the surface.
  • The upper echelon knew it was Earth, implying they came back because there really was just no where else to go. In the manga however, there is no indication of this, and humanity really was unaware they were on Earth, or at least, Dewey and the Sages hadn't seen fit to tell them before he died.
• Homing Lasers: theEND fires a Roboteching variant of these.
• Hot-Blooded Sideburns: Charles.
• Humongous Mecha: The Nirvash typeZERO and theEnd
• Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Most episodes take their titles from names of songs (usually in electronic music).
  • The series creator and head writer, Dai Sato, is a known electronic musician himself, together with his friend Kengo Watanabe^note Yes, Ken-Goh is a homage to him, has once managed his own record label.
  • It also shares the same Theme Naming with Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, a series written by Sato's long-time collaborator Chiaki J. Konaka, who also wrote a couple of episodes here. They used rock songs there, though.
• Idiot Ball: While pounding your own arm with a rock to make it match to your loved ones is a pretty romantic thing to do, it is also very stupid and irresponsible to do with no immediate medical support at hand and short on supplies and shelter, Renton...
• Important Haircut: Talho and Eureka, at different points. Eureka goes through 3 in the series and 3 in The Movie. The series haircuts also signify the caterpillar metamorphosis theme.
• Interspecies Romance: Three, Renton and Eureka, Anemone and Dominic, and Norb and Sakuya, all Human-Coralian relationships.
• It's Personal: Ray and Charles Beams oppose Gekkostate not merely because of their affiliation with the military, but also because of resentment toward Eureka, whom they believe to be to blame for Ray's infertility.
  • Strangely, the German dub averts this, going with the classical German "Eu-REH-Kah" pronunciation, but instead putting the emphasis on the first syllable, instead of the middle one. It sounds equally strange, yet somehow more familiar.
• Jerkass: For the first half of the series, the Gekkostate crew is at best apathetic towards Renton, with Holland and Talho getting full on abusive at times. The only solid exception is Eureka. They all take advantage of him, even when he's working his hardest, show barely any appreciation for when he saves their asses with his piloting skills, and the male members send him on a hazing mission that took him way too close to death by yakuza.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Holland becomes this after the finale of "Morning Glory."
  • The only thing that separates Holland from being a straight up jerk is his desire to stop Dewey's plans and his kindness to Eureka. Other than that, he constantly abuses Renton during the first half of the series until he finally realizes how damaging his actions are to Renton and it takes a while for him to have a good relationship with Talho too.
  • He gets called out on it both in-series and in Super Robot Wars Z.
  • Talho herself loves to take advantage of Renton just for her own personal amusement early on, but she backs off when Holland starts to abuse him.
• Kamehame Hadoken: In "Start it Up," when the Nirvash compresses the energy of the Seventh Swell into it's hands, and then fires it at The END, blowing it's front armor plating off.
• Kick the Dog: Holland, would you please stop beating Renton up as stress relief? It's probably not very healthy for him.
• Kill All Humans: The ultimate intended result of Dewey's plan.
  • In the manga, it also applies to the Coralians in general.
• Kill Sat: Oratorio #8 and its movie counterpart, the Hammer of God.
• Line in the Sand: Jergens to his crew, late in the show
• Locked Out of the Loop: The first season, where no one bothers to tell Renton about anything that's going on. Sometimes they blame him for these very problems that he has no knowledge of.
• Love at First Sight: Renton is in love with Eureka from the moment he first locks eyes on her.
• Love Martyr: In manga, Dominic, for Anemone.
• Love Redeems: Anemone, in a truly epic heartwarming moment, becomes a gentler and more heroic person through her love for Dominic.

M-R

• Macross Missile Massacre: By Shoji Kawamori himself, even.
  • In addition to conventional missile massacres, the show also uses this trope with "homing lasers", complete with High-Speed Missile Dodge.
• Madness Mantra: In "Memento Mori," after Charles Beams dies, Ray spends most of an episode humming the two-note melody of "Get It By Your Hands". Made even more creepy by the fact that the audience barely sees her, just hears the humming over scenery shots of the rooms she's trashed. It's horribly and heartrendingly clear that she's completely lost it when we see that she's set the table for herself, Charles and Renton with their three mugs.
• Magic Skirt: Talho's first outfit. Both averted and lampshaded in one manga chapter, when, after Renton wins a fight for food in Gekkostate, Matthieu effortlessly lifts Eureka's skirt to show him what's underneath and Renton drops his prize.
• Matrix Raining Code: Compac Drives have it when activated, with concrete words showing occasionally such as Eureka, Sakuya, and Renton.
• Meaningful Name:
  • The Scub Coral, which is, through no fault of its own, the cause of most of the conflict in the series.
  • Apparently the Nirvash was just trying to achieve nirvana all along.
• Meaningful Echo: "I CAN FLY!"
• Mecha-Enabling Phlebotinum: Transparent light particles or "trapars."
• Media Scaremongering: Dewey uses the fear of a Coralian attack and the Strawman News Media to gain public support and topple the government.
• Mind Rape: TheEND's Vascud Crisis attack seems to work like this when it was first used, though later uses portray it as more of a Wave-Motion Gun.
• Mind Screw: The Acperience episodes, which all feature direct telepathic contact with Starfish Aliens.
• Morality Pet:
  • Dominic's kindness to Anemone makes him more sympathetic.
  • Gulliver is a literal one by being the subject of Anemone's kindness.
  • According to a flashback in one episode, the kids are sort of this for Eureka; before they came along, she was cold, mechanical, and emotionless, but when she finds three children huddled in the bodies of a surrendering group of people she had just slaughtered, she realizes what she's done and takes them in, becoming the quiet, motherly type we become familiar with.
  • Eureka, to Holland.
• My Death Is Only The Beginning: When Dewey kills himself.
• My Hero, Zero: The Nirvash typeZERO.
• Myth Arc: The entire first half of the series is basically foreshadowing.
• Nerves of Steel: Axel Thurston proves to have these of the highest order when he successfully rams an armored transport carrier with a forklift, blows his workshop up to slow down the military, then dashes for (and then,off) a cliff so he can send the customized LFO board for Renton's mecha to him without panicking once.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By the end of the first half, Holland's resentment towards Renton and his efforts to run away from his past lead to Renton's temporary rebellion against Holland to be with Ray and Charles Beams and the near-destruction of Gekkostate.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Sky Surfing Giant Mecha with organic cores that run on The Power of Love and can turn into vehicles.
• No Biochemical Barriers: The crew briefly muses on the biological compatibility of Eureka (human-form Coralian) and Renton (human). The resident doctor confirms that there's nothing preventing it. In fact, it is implied nobody but Renton can be Eureka's partner. The Grand Finale reveals Nirvash and Gonzi both hinting one of the Scub Coral's plans for the future is interbreeding with humans, starting with Renton and Eureka, the first successful interspecies couple.
• No Loves Intersect: You won't see any full fledged Love Triangles (or Dodecahedrons) in the whole show. It is subtly implied that one of the three of Renton's classmates/neighbors has a crush on Renton (the tallest one whose mother thinks the Gekkostate are murderers and has a Tsundere attitude), but it never went further than that and he never sees them again after "Blue Monday."
  • Holland/Talho/Eureka probably counts, actually. It's just that unlike most anime love triangles this one actually gets a conclusive resolution.
    • Renton can be added to that equation, too. It's implied that part of the reason Holland is so harsh with him is that both Eureka and Talho have taken a liking for him. He gets jealous when Talho mutters "You've gotta get it together, Renton" in her sleep, and is upset because Eureka chose Renton instead of him.
    • The three kids, especially Maurice, are counted as well since they are constantly obstructing Renton in his quest to get Eureka's love.
    • Let's just be clear here: Maurice points a rifle at Renton in "Don't You Want Me?" because he's upset that Eureka isn't giving all her attention to him exclusively.
    • What makes this series different, is that Love Triangles do exist, but for once it's about the intersection of different types of love obstructing each other. For example, Holland acts as Eureka's protectorate and effectively maintains a sibling/parental relationship with her, but he's strongly romantically involved with Talho, who resents Eureka because Holland uses his devotion to her as a way to escape from his responsibilities and relationship with Talho because he has the emotional maturity of a teenager and has no idea how to face an adult relationship with the woman he loves. Then Renton comes into the picture, who makes things more complicated because suddenly Eureka is investing emotionally in him, making Holland resent Renton because he is undermining his role and... Holland has the emotional maturity of a teenager. Basically, all Love Triangles surrounding Holland can be resolved by Holland growing up and acting like an adult. Which he does... eventually.
• Noodle Incident: Nothing about the Summer of Love and why exactly Adroc Thurston sacrificed himself is explained directly in the anime. In fact, Adroc himself never speaks in flashbacks or in the Coralians, unlike Diane. Fridge Logic says that due to Adroc not being Eureka's partner, the Seven Swell Phenomenon became uncontrollable and would destroy the world, which is why he pulled the Nirvash's compac drive. Hi-Evolution, however, rectifies this by showing the issue at hand.
• Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: Renton says as much in "Blue Monday." Then Eureka and her LFO show up...
• Not Now, Kiddo: Dewey and the Ageha Squad don't take the Gekko State very seriously. Dominic, who does, is shut down by the Ageha Squad in his efforts to warn Dewey about this.
• The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: The highly vague and laughably ineffectual Council of Sages, who don't get much done except hire Dewey and then die at his hand some twenty-five episodes later.
  • This may be the closest thing to Truth in Television (although maybe not intentional) in the series, really (except the coral aesop). In WWII in Romania, King Carol the II, in desperation because of his weakness, called upon ex-military commander Antonescu from jail to get the country out of trouble. Antonescu soon took all of the power in the country, and had the King give up his position and leave the country the same night. His purpose has been deemed by some as suicidal as Dewey's.
• Official Couple: Several, actually. There's Renton and Eureka, Holland and Talho, Gidget and Moondoggie, and Dominic and Anemone, among others.
• Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome: Most of the above characters go through this.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Dewey Novak.
• On the Next: "The next episode: *episode title*"
• Organ Theft: "Watermelon" has Gekkostate smuggling some black market organs in order to pay the bills.
• Parental Substitute: Charles and Ray Beams serves as this for Renton. Of course Renton didn't have enough trauma in his life, so they end up dying shortly after he leaves them. While trying to kill Eureka and the crew of the Gekkostate.
  • Inverted by Charles and Ray themselves. They happily accept Renton as their own adopted child because Ray is incapable of bearing children.
  • Eureka begins as merely one of these for her adopted children.
• Pirates: The basic setting of Eureka Seven can be interchanged with the ocean and not much will change. This makes it easier to see that the Gekkostate is essentially a group of type 2 pirates. Dewey even mentions this when told about the group.
• Poor Communication Kills:
  • In "Date of Birth", Renton discovers that Eureka knew his father. He's angry and frustrated that she never mentioned that fact. While Eureka discusses the situation with Holland and Talho, Holland concludes that Renton is trying to pressure Eureka into sex (or worse) and understandably runs off to kick his ass.
  • Holland doesn't tell Renton anything, and it massively screws them both up. Which, at least, can be explained by him feeling jealous of the attention Eureka and Talho show to Renton.
  • Dewey either chooses not to read or is not given Dominic's report on the Nirvash and its pilots. Therefore he assumes that Eureka doesn't have a partner and will never find one, even though it's actually Renton. He therefore lets his guard down at the worst possible time. It's a mistake that costs him dearly.
    • This specifically. Dewey and the Ageha Squad don't take the Gekkostate as a serious threat and only Dominic does.
• Post-Episode Trailer
• The Power of Love: The special ability of the Nirvash typeZero, the main plot driver, and resolution. During the Grand Finale, they save the entire planet using this power.
• Precision-Guided Boomerang
• Product Placement: For Pizza-La, a Japanese pizza chain.
• Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "I... CAAAAN... FLYYYYYYY!!!"
• Real Robot: Though it's inferred that they are at least partially organic, the LFOs other than the typeZERO and TheEND never express emotions.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Dewey to Holland in "Astral Apache," immediately followed by a Shut Up, Hannibal! moment.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Anemone and Eureka.
• Red Shirt: Almost all Mon-Soono (KLF) pilots are sent to die. This actually comes back to bite Gekkostate later when some of the KLF pilots try to beat Holland up for killing so many of their comrades.
• Retail Riot: In "Vivid Bit", Hilda gets into a massive brawl in a store having a sale.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: Gulliver.
• Roboteching: Various Homing Laser attacks, but especially TheEND's.
• Rule of Symbolism:
  • In the TV series, some blatant Buddhism got lost behind the language barrier.
    • The Compaq Drives are named after konpaku, or soul.
    • The Amita Drive is named after Amitabha^note The kanji 阿弥陀 is written on the box that Axel holds onto in the first episode, a deity for those who cannot reach enlightenment on their own. Hence a MacGuffin that unlocks Nirvash's potential.
    • The plot is essentially the Scub Coral needing to successfully communicate with humanity so it can reach enlightenment and transcend this realm of existence without breaking it.
    • Sakuya was turned into a lotus flower, which in Buddhism symbolizes the purity of enlightenment as it floats above muddy waters of attachment.
    • The green dot that appears on Eureka's forehead in the finale can be interpreted as a Third Eye, which is the sixth chakra in Hinduism but is also taught in Tibetan Buddhism. This chakra is named Ajna, meaning "command", and is symbolized as a lotus flower. Eureka opening this "third eye" could be a sign of her own enlightenment.
  • Elder Furthark runes have subtly been used in character design. In Holland and Talho's case, this doubles as Tattoo as Character Type.
    • The Sacrificial Kings in the Novak family, including Holland, have a tattoo on their upper left arm that resembles the ᛗ (mannaz) rune meaning "man". However, a reversed mannaz represents resistance to change and is a reminder to be aware of one's faults and responsibilities. This reflects Holland's immature and abusive behavior towards Renton being chosen as Eureka's partner, as well as his unwillingness to face his past, before he realizes his mistakes and tries to become a better leader to Gekkostate.
    • Talho has copied Holland and has a reversed ᛒ (berkana) rune on her upper right arm. The rune which means "birch tree" symbolizes motherhood, domesticity, and new beginnings when upright; but the reversed berkana symbolizes domestic troubles—in this case, Talho's jealousy towards Holland still being heartbroken by Diane and overprotecting Eureka.
    • The United Federation and the Ageha Squad have the ᛟ (othala) rune stitched on their uniforms. It literally means "ancestral property" and represents homeland, community, and spiritual inheritence. In modern times, it has been misused by Nazis as a perverse symbol of totalitarianism and nationalism.

S-Y

• Save the Villain: An anti-villain example occurs in "Ballet Méchanique".
• Schizo Tech: It's the future and humans developed advanced, humanoid mechas, hover boards, and turbo-charged military ships and yet they still drive around in cars from the 1940's, listen to vinyl records, and use non-digital cameras.
  • Fridge Logic somewhat justifies it: The hoverboards only work on energy-flows in the same way a surfboard does with water, and are completely useless unless made from a certain material. The humanoid robots are partly organic (and not human-made organic parts either) and have only existed (or at least been used) for a little over a decade. The flying ships use the same mechanics of trapar-surfing that the hoverboards do, and trapar waves aren't always reliable in all areas (ships tend to stay on the ley-lines; i.e., trapar currents in the sky). Hell, all standard-issue LFOs and KLFs are able to transform into wheeled vehicle forms for fast transport where trapar waves are weak/absent (goodness knows how this would help them if they lost lift while out at sea). So, cars with wheels. And as for aesthetics? Isn't it obvious that these people have hard-ons for anything antiquated by now?
  • Another and much more widespread explanation is in play with Hi-Evolution. The planet has been ravaged so badly all over that humans must rely on whatever technology they're lucky to get their hands on. It also updates the world to retroactively include smartphones even though it previously featured pay phones and clunky desktop computers.
• Scenery Gorn: Just like the Scenery Porn, from city ruins to landscapes devasted by any number of cataclysms and wars.
• Scenery Porn: In every episode and opening/ending theme, expect to see beautifully detailed backdrops. Whether it's the sky, the grass, the cityscape or whatever.
• Sekaikei Genre
• Shoot the Dog: Holland does when Charles dies. And then again with Ray.
• Shown Their Work: Well to some degree, but the pre-print sheet of the Ray=Out magazine which uses the Pacific State picture has all the correct cut markings, color control fields and signs, the only thing missing was the back cover, because that would be printed on the same sheet, but it might be a preprint of just the cover to look at the composition of parts, which would work.
• Sky Surfing: The principle method of transportation, especially for mechs, is riding trapar waves using "lifting" boards.
• Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Most of the characters who are still alive at the end of the series grow up and/or change for the better, and the whole story is permeated with the idea that the The Power of Love can accomplish anything. In short: Definitely on the idealistic side.
• The Sociopath: Dewey. Patricide, genocide, global mass-murder, inhumane human experimentation, political coups, and manipulation of mass media to paint himself as a hero. Possibly paedophilia as well (judging by the Ageha Squad, among other things). He has absolutely no qualms about using, discarding, and killing the majority of the population of the planet for his own needs, including his own brother. And he seems to enjoy it. Yeah, Holland is definitely the normal one in this family.
• Soundtrack Dissonance: A scene of Holland beating the crap out of Renton is set to wildly inappropriate swelling strings courtesy of Naoki Sato.
  • In "Cosmic Trigger" a high-speed and violent LFO battle fought by Holland is intercut with Dewey flashing back to when he killed his own father during a dance with Anemone at a ball where an upbeat and fast-paced orchestra is playing in the background.
    • The ball itself. Dewey points out that nobody there has any idea that the music the band is "playing" is actually a recording playing through speakers installed in the instruments.
• Starfish Aliens: The Scub Coral is a colonial organism that has no means of communication besides fusion of biomass, eventually (albeit unintentionally) driving humans off of Earth, only to return sometime just under 10,000 years later. It eventually covered the planet and became sentient, realizing what it had done to the inhabitants. It also rose above the surface on pillars, leaving the original features and biology intact. At some point the power of it's thoughts became so greatly concentrated that it essentially created a thought black hole that messed with space-time, and only barely averted losing the entire planet by going dormant (Trapar is literally thought). When humans return, the humanoid Coralians, Sakuya and Eureka, are created as an attempt to interface with humanity.
  • Though in series it's ambiguous if they're really aliens or some sort of weapon, genetic experiment, or something else gone wrong. Some sources say they came from space, while others say they emerged from inside the earth.
• Stripperific: Talho's clothes. Justified, and eventually replaced. How she dressed was actually a literary device to signify that she still refuses to accept her age. She did eventually replace her old clothes alongside with having an Important Haircut. Ever since that, she has become more of a mature Big Sis.
• Super-Fun Happy Thing of Doom: The "Summer of Love" was a worldwide catastrophe that was only stopped by the sacrificial efforts of Adroc Thurston. It is feared the "Second Summer of Love" could well mean The End of the World as We Know It if it is allowed to happen. Eventually turns out the "Second Summer of Love" averts this.
  • The "Joy Division". The use of the name is rather recursively appropriate, as the band picked that name as a reference to the 1955 novel The House of Dolls, where the Joy Division was the name for the prostitution wing of a Nazi Concentration camp — and the Joy Division is in a devastated city named Warsaw — which itself was the original name of the Ian Curtis' band.
  • In fact, Final Boss battle in Z incorporates the finale of Eureka Seven.
• Super Prototype: Nirvash TypeZERO and TypeTheEND. Despite the two of them spawning mass-produced LFO's and KLF's, they STILL have more than enough strength and firepower to decimate entire waves of them alone, and only accept and respond to specific pilots, including Renton and Eureka in TypeZERO's case, and Anemone in TypeTheEND's case.
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
  • Renton joins the Gekkostate as an Ascended Fanboy, but realizes the big mess he's gotten himself into when he realizes that Holland is not what he seems to be... at first.
  • Thanks to Renton killing humans senselessly in "Substance Abuse" and his subsequent Heroic BSoD, he decides not to kill anyone else anymore.
  • Holland's Jerk with a Heart of Gold and Crazy Jealous Guy traits initially costs him his personal relationship with the Gekkostate crew members, especially Renton and Eureka. He rekindles his relationships when all is said and done after the end of "Morning Glory."
  • After Holland's leg gets injured, he is unable to fully fly a lift board.
  • At the end of the first half of "Date of Birth", Holland beats up Renton because he thought that the latter was going to have sex with Eureka.
• Team Mom: Hilda at first, but later Talho grows into this position.
• Tempting Fate: One early episode had the staff of a military base saying how there was no way the Gekkostate would visit the area.
• Theme Naming: Pretty much everyone and anything.
  • Every episode title is a reference to a song or an album (primarily House Music songs.) Wikipedia's episode guide even lists all of them.
  • Episodes depicting direct contact with the Scub Coral are named "Acperience".
  • There are characters named after characters from surfing lore, 60's beach films, and obscure Japanese novels. Just an example — the fake Coralian testing center is called (no joke) the Joy Division.
    • Although if one knows the origin of Joy Division's name (and indeed, what they actually sound like), it doesn't seem so ironic.
  • The two tech guys on the ship are named Jobs and Woz.
  • Ray and Charles Beams: Put their first names together and whose name do you get? Also, lose the "B" and you get Charles and Ray Eames.
  • Many of the LFOs and KLFs are named after Roland and Korg synthesizers. The names LFO and KLF themselves are taken from two influential British techno groups.
  • Gidget and Moondoggie.
• Those Two Guys: More like Those Three Girls who were Renton's classmates.
• To Be Continued: Always said by Renton at the end of every episode, with his tone of voice depending on the mood of the episode, but there are exceptions.
  • Episode 18 ends with the sound of Eureka kicking a door.
  • Episode 20 uses the "To Be Continued" card as a Vomit Discretion Shot.
  • Eureka does it for the first time in episode 23, saying "I want to see you" after she finds out Renton left Gekkostate during her coma.
  • Episode 26 onwards, Renton and Eureka start saying it together.
  • Episode 45 ends with Eureka yelling Renton's name when he passes out from a fever while they're stranded on Earth.
  • Episode 49 returns to Renton saying it alone after Eureka is separated from him by starting to change into the new Command Cluster.
  • "The End" is said by the three children as Renton and Eureka's whereabouts after they've reunited and saved the world are unknown.
• Took a Level in Kindness:
  • Holland stops being immature jerk and taking his anger out on Renton and grows into a responsible Team Dad. He also becomes a father-figure to Renton.
  • Talho goes from an immature Cool Big Sis to a level-headed Team Mom.
  • Gekkostate in general, show more respect for Renton after his return from the Beams'.
  • Anemone becomes way nicer after being free from Dewey.
• Transforming Mecha: Since the mechs in this series achieve flight by riding waves of energy in the sky they have no control over, almost all of them are capable of transforming into wheeled vehicle modes for land transportation where the waves are too weak to support them. A lucky few still have usable weapons in this state, most prominently Holland's Terminus typeR909. The Nirvash Spec 2 steps up the game by being a triple changer that transforms into both the land vehicle and a new jet mode. The only humanoid mechs which don't seem able to transform are the TheEND, the Devilfish, and the Beams's Spearhead SH-101's.and the Nirvash Spec 3.
• True Companions: The crew of the Gekko.
• Tsundere:
  • Talho for Holland. However, Holland is guilty of being a cross between Tsundere and Sugar-and-Ice Personality over Talho for a huge chunk of the series, to the point where she is horribly insecure of their relationship because she has no idea that he actually loves her. He gets better, though. After he learns to communicate like an adult.
  • Anemone for Dominic.
• 20 Minutes into the Future: That's what the show looks like, although it's set 10,000 years into the future.
• Tyke-Bomb: Anemone and the Ageha Squad.
• The Unchosen One: Holland finally realizes that he is not meant to be the one for Eureka by the end of "Morning Glory".
• Unnecessary Roughness: Deliberately kicking someone in the face in a soccer match will earn you a red card, not just a yellow card.
• The Voice: Subverted. The "next episode" tags are all narrated by a female voice, one that doesn't match any of the characters seen in the show. In the final episode, it's revealed to be the voice of the Nirvash.
• Visual Pun: In "Join the Future," Eureka wears number 7.
• Wave-Motion Gun: The ultimate attack of the Nirvash typeZERO Spec 3, which takes out a virtual wall of Antibody Coralians with one shot. A literal Buster Beam. Also, TheEND's Vascud Crisis weapon qualifies.
• Wave-Motion Tuning Fork: Oratorio #8
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Eureka, because she's a humanoid Coralian. She has emotions, thoughts, and the anatomy of a human, but she is a Coralian. Anemone as well, because she was a human who was genetically modified into a Coralian.
• Word Salad Title: See the show's full Japanese title, as noted above.
• You Can't Fight Fate: Despite Holland's desperate attempts to regain Eureka's trust, even going so far as to beat the crap out of Renton, Holland still faces the realization that Renton is The Chosen One for Eureka after all, just as history dictated.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Anemone comes to this conclusion about herself after Dewey tells her his ultimate plans. She still willingly participates in Dewey's final operation, but at that point she has the mindset that she doesn't care if she doesn't come back alive.
• You Kill It, You Bought It: Eureka and her kids. After killing their parents, she takes the kids in and raises them.
