Mirai: Difference between revisions

[[File:mspakkaan.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|right| The hologram of Mirai, shouting her signature "Pa-KAAAN!" to a past Serval.]]

When Kaban and Serval enter the restricted area outside of the [[Sandstar Mountain]], they find themselves caught up in the Cerulean Hunters' battle against the mighty black Cerulean. Although they are unfit to participate in the direct combat, they follow Lucky-san up the mountain path and investigate the situation on their own, reasoning that the large Cerulean on the mountain mentioned in the previous recording might be related to the one being targetted by the hunters. Reaching the peak, another message from Mirai plays. Like the previous, it features a full hologram to accompany her voice. Speaking with a grave tone, Mirai informs the viewers that their hypothesis that the black Cerulean possesses a property which allows it to absorb Sandstar from the mountain has been proven correct. As a result, she explains, the filter needed to be re-affixed using the "Four Gods" to give them the best fighting chance to eliminate it. Mirai also mentions that all of the Friends on the island were safely evacuated, shedding a positive, if bittersweet light on the fate of the Japari Park at the time the message was recorded. Elaborating further on the black Cerulean's properties, she explains that it continues to regenerate itself regardless of how much it is attacked, its movements follow the sun and it appears to dislike the ocean. Seeing that Caracal and Serval are ready to evacuate the area, she signs off, but only after delivering a final message: that the Four Gods are buried in the same place as the "valuable thing" she mentioned before. This information would prove invaluable in Kaban and Serval's gambit to defeat the black Cerulean.

At Kaban's party after the final battle, [[Common Raccoon/Anime|Common Raccoon]] explains that she had found Mirai's hat lying in the Savanna Area and was about to pick it up, but since it was hit directly by Sandstar as a result of the most recent eruption, a human form within it began to take shape and would soon become Kaban herself. [[Tsuchinoko/Anime|Tsuchinoko]] theorizes that this is because of a reaction with hair inside the hat, which was indeed the case, meaning that Kaban is a human Friend formed by the interaction of Sandstar and a strand of Mirai's hair. This is further confirmed by her final recording, which plays when Kaban and Serval ride the amusement park's ferris wheel together. In the recording, Mirai states that she "just had to ride [the ferris wheel] one more time" and that, while she's sad that the park staff ultimately needed to evacuate the island, she's grateful for all the miracles she saw during her time there. Nevertheless, she expresses hope that she'll be back again someday, and bids her farewell to Lucky-san, whom she simply calls "Lucky". She promises it that she'll be back soon, at which point a strong gust of wind blows her signature sun hat off of her head, presumably reaching the Savanna Area at some point after her departure. The serval Friend calls out to her one last time, and Mirai's final recording ends, leaving Kaban to ponder the world outside of the Kyōshū Region.
