Mecha Profile: Aquarion EVOL – Aquarion EVOL

After the Solar Aquarion healed the Earth and went into a deep slumber, 12,000 years have passed and the legend of the Solar Wings is once again forgotten. The Earth now faces a new enemy from another world who invade and abduct human. An unsuspecting boy who possesses the power to levitate found himself amidst the battle in a Neo-Deava’s Vector. And before he knows it, he has awakened the lost legend: the Aquarion EVOL.

I. History:
 – 12,000 year after the Solar Aquarion and Apollo healed the Earth and fell into a deep sleep, the Tree of Life which had withered away have split the Earth into two planets: Vega and Altair. The female population on planet Altair has dropped to zero due to a mysterious illness, and the males of Altair have to resort to kidnapping people from Vega using the Abductors – giant mechanism with the ability to capture human and brought them back to Altair. The protagonist – Amata Sora – was caught up in a battle between the Altairian Abductors and Neo-Deava’s Aquarias. When he tried to help Mikono Suzushiro – a girl whom he just met – he unintentionally teleported inside a Vector’s cockpit. Unbeknownst to him, he awakened his Solar Wing power and called out “Sousei Gattai – Aquarion”. And to the surprise of everybody, he forced the other 2 Vectors to combine with him and formed the Aquarion Evol.

– After the first fight, he was invited to join Neo-Deava – an organization that use Vector to combat against the Altairian abduction. At Neo-Deava, Elements – human with special powers – are trained to become Vector pilots and fight in Aquarions. Before Sora joined, the school was split into female and male classes respectively, but after Sora awakened the Evol, Zen Fudo – the principal – allowed the school to become co-ed and that girls and boys can interact with each other, but love was forbidden.

– During his time at Neo-Deava, Amata continued to pilot the Z Vector – which form the head of the Aquarion Evol – to fight against the Altairian – developing an intense rival with the pilot of the Mithra Gnis – Kagura. Amata’s strong feelings for Mikono and his friends managed to allow the Aquarion Evol to defeat the enemy every time.

– Zen Fudo and Mikono later revived the lost Aquarion of Legend – the Solar Aquarion that was originally buried along with Apollo. However, soon after that, Mikage – who was born out of Towa’s death – took control of the Aquarion and converted it into his own mecha – the Ancient AQ. Amata piloted the Aquarion EVOL alone to rush to save Mikono – who was captured inside the Ancient AQ – and suffered terrible damage in the process, only leaving its top half remain.

– Amata unleashed his full Solar Wing power, making the EVOL grow wings of light. With the help of Kagura, Amata charge into the Ancient AQ and rescued Mikono. The EVOL changed into the Aquarion LOVE in the process, glowing silver and shredding tears thanks to the intense feelings of Mikono and Amata. The tears from Aquarion LOVE restored Vega and Altair’s water supply, which was evaporated before by Mikage.

– It was also revealed that eight years before the main story, the Aquarion EVOL was piloted by Donar Dantes – now one of the instructors at Neo-Deava. However, it went berserk and caused a terrible disaster, costing Donar his arms. Zen Fudo revealed that the cause was because Donar was in love with another Element in the trio, causing the accident. The incident led to a ban on love and intersex interaction.


II. Technical Specs & Armaments:
– The Aquarion Evol is mainly piloted by Amata Sora – who possesses the Element power of the Solar Wings. It is formed by the Vector Z as the head and main body, Vector Y as the waist and legs, and Vector X as the backpack. Its overall appearance is similar to the Solar Aquarion, with double layer golden wings and an elliptic chest place. Its head also has a head crest resembling a heart. Like the Solar Aquarion, it also has 3 pairs of eyes. On its shoulders are ornamental patterns similar to the Solar Aquarion.

– For ranged weapons, the Aquarion has 2 lasers on the head, which was the nosecone section of the Vector Z.

– Similar to the Solar Aquarion, the Aquarion EVOL can perform the iconic Mugen Punch – extending its forearms to infinite length to chase down enemy and deliver a finishing move. In the show, it circled the entire planet twice and still can extend further. Furthermore, it can also do it with both arms. Amata, along with Zessica and Kagura, executed the “All Together Attack” where a double Mugen Punch enhanced with Zessica’s and Kagura’s power was launched.

– The Evol can incorporate its Element’s special powers into itself. Such as when Yunoha Thrul was one of its pilots, the Evol can turn invisible, rendering optical attacks useless against it, and attack the enemy without them seeing a thing. This attack is named “Illusory Flickering Punch”. Another instance is Mix’s “Spacial Compensation” ability to fill in empty spaces. Evol makes a special hand gesture that generated energy spheres to fill in the gaps in the enemy’s weapons and armor and caused them to implode from within. This attack is named “Absolute Sealing”.

– Aquarion are known to be able to execute attacks based on different scenarios. The Evol can also execute such attacks as it needs. Such as the “Super Dimensional Mugen Attack” – where it creates a heart-shaped aura and cuts through space and time to hit its opponent while the pilots were seeing visions of the past 12,000 years ago. It can also execute the “Cluster Mugen Attack” where extra fists grow on its right arm and launch Mugen Punches in several directions. This attack can only be executed by having multiple Elements in one Vectors.

– The Evol can grow shining wings on its back thanks to Amata’s Element power: the Solar Wings. This allows the Evol to unleash abilities unlike any other. The crest on the head can also glow with a pink glow when it evolves into Aquarion LOVE when Amata and Mikono expressed their feelings for each other.

– Like previous Aquarions, the Evol can operate with just one or two Vector. Essentially this is a Vector ability rather than Aquarion. Where the Vector Z can transform into the upper half of the Evol and continue fighting while missing its lower body and wings.
