Chapter 6

**Chapter 6** is the sixth chapter of the *Astra Lost in Space* manga*.*

## Synopsis

As he throws himself over the edge of the chasm toward the nearest tree-poline platform, Kanata is thinking of his past. The memory of his ill-fated hiking trip and the struggle for survival, as well as memories of his intense athletic training, both scenes tied together by the regret that he possesses too little strength and the drive to gain more. Clearing the distance, he lands on the edge of the tree-poline; the others are shocked by Kanata's feat, and Zack, suddenly recalling that Kanata is a world-class decathlete, explains what a decathlon is. The knowledge of how hard Kanata has worked to be as strong as he astonishes them; Aries remarks to herself that, for all his accomplishments and abilities, his inability to fly is not stopping him from trying to save Funicia anyway, risking his own life to save that of a friend. The group begins cheering him on as he jumps to a second treetop, growing more exhausted with every jump he makes.

He is two treetops from Funicia when the tur-gon finally grabs her and starts flying away with her. Unable to jump high enough to grab it, let alone reach the treetop Funicia was on, Kanata looks around in desperation and sees Luca's spear lying on the grass next to him; he immediately takes it in his hands and throws it like a javelin at the tur-gon, striking it in the side. The blow to the tur-gon is fatal; as it falls to the ground below, it crashes off a tree-poline, inadvertently leaving Funicia behind on its grassy surface. Kanata leaps the last two treetops to where Funicia is, reminding Aries of when he left the safety of the ship to rescue her when she was floating in space, but as he steps toward her, his foot slips, and he falls off the tree. He is saved by Quitterie, who has released a large number of parachute-plants into the air below him. Hanging from the parachute, Kanata grabs Funicia, and as they sink slowly toward the ground, Kanata congratulates Funicia on a job well done.

**"PLANET CAMP"** is the first episode of the *Astra Lost in Space* anime.

## Synopsis

On her way to the planetary camp, Aries Spring has her bag snatched at the spaceport, but fellow student Kanata Hoshijima stops the thief. Nine students from Caird High School arrive at Planet McPa for their planetary camp. Not long after setting foot, a mysterious sphere appears out of nowhere and swallows up the students. They end up adrift in space where they find an abandoned spaceship. Everybody except Aries makes it on board. At the risk of running out of fuel and also ending up lost in space, Kanata goes out and rescues Aries. Kanata runs out of fuel, but the other students form a human ladder to rescue Kanata and Aries. With everybody safely onboard the spaceship, the students introduce themselves to each other, and Zack Walker learns that the sphere transported them 5,012 light-years away from home. As paranoia sets in realizing that the trip is impossible with the limited resources they have, the mood changes when Zack finds planets the students can resupply on and a route to get back. The students name the spaceship Astra after seeing the phrase Per Aspera ad Astra on a plaque inside the spaceship.

It is the main setting of the Icriss Arc.

## Principles

It is known to be orbiting a red dwarf star and is tidally locked, meaning that one side of the planet always faces the sun, causing that side to be incredibly hot and uninhabitable, and the side not facing the sun to be incredibly cold and also uninhabitable. However, there is a temperate zone in the middle where life is able to flourish.

Icriss is noted for its carnivorous plants and barren landscape.

## Trivia

* Icriss is an anagram for the word "Crisis."

Chapter 43

**Chapter 43** is the forty-third chapter of the *Astra Lost in Space* manga. It is the sixth chapter of the Galem Arc and, in the compiled volumes, the sixth chapter of the fifth volume.

## Synopsis

Charce begins to recall his memories of his early days as a young clone in the Imperial Palace. His entire life was meant to serve as the king's vessel and to forfeit his life when the time came to the king. Officially, he was considered to be the child of a retainer and was given top treatment in physical training and education. While studying as a child, he grew interested in learning about plants and animals and all biological things.
He began to befriend the princess and generally had a content life.

When he turned 17, the Genome Control Act was passed, and King Vix ordered him to go on a suicide mission using a portable wormhole technology to destroy all evidence of the clones. He was permitted to transfer to Caird High School and make new friends before he died. Charce notes that his entire purpose in his life was to accept the king's orders.

Aries asks about his earlier story of being a noble's son and running away from home, and he states that it was mostly lies to gain sympathy with the others. Zack wonders he couldn't have just made a public announcement to get the originals arrested, but Charce firmly replies that the king's orders were absolute and that he was willing to die for the king.

Kanata says it's plain wrong for the way he acted, but Charce continues to retort, saying that no one could judge him on what was right or wrong. He mentions that in the past, people used to believe in dogmas such as religion and politics in order to protect the places they lived and worshiped, even if they had to sacrifice their own lives to uphold their beliefs, and that they were raised that way to carry out their orders. He states that so many people did this and never knew their life's meaning, but he knew all along what his purpose was.

Kanata challenges him, asking if he thought this was all an act and if Charce still truly cared about his friends. Although Charce tries to deny it, Kanata mentions that Charce helped to make it this far on their journey home, and grabs a hold of him, saying that he won't let Charce say that they weren't friends. Charce continues to deny it.

Kanata asks there were two separate times, once on Planet Vilavurs and another on Planet Galem to assassinate the group, but Charce never chose to carry it out. But Charce mentions that the only reason he never killed off the entire group was that he wanted to take Aries home. While his original intention was to kill everyone, he soon learned more about Aries and her photographic memory, along with her heterochromia, and ultimately her similar appearance to Princess Seira, the daughter of King Vix.
Planet Vilavurs

**Planet Vilavurs** (惑星ヴィラヴァース , ***Planet Vilavurs***?) is the first planet that Group B-5 visit on their journey home.

It is the main setting of the Vilavurs Arc.

## Principles

The planet has massive flying pterodactyl-like creatures that are hostile, along with huge trees they dub Tree-poline that shoot up hundreds of meters into the sky in order to undergo photosynthesis during the day and retract during the night.

## Trivia

* Vilavurs is an anagram of the word "Survival".
Gruppie

A **gruppie** is a flightless animal native to the Planet Shummoor. Its identifying characteristics are its two bony legs, its wingless body, its long, flexible neck, and its horn-bearing head.

## Appearance

An average gruppie has four basic anatomical details that define it: its legs, its featherless body, its neck, and its horn. Its anatomy is, for the most part, similar to that of an ostrich or emu.

### Legs

A gruppie's legs are long and bony. Its feet are three-toed, two of which face forward and one of which faces backward for support purposes. The front two toes are equipped with prominent spikes extending from their tips; this aids in traction as the gruppie runs. Their legs consist of a forward-facing joint that connects its long ankle bone to its leg. The leg then joins the body at a rear-facing joint covered by muscle; the rest of the leg, from the joint downward, has no muscle covering it; instead, a thinner, smoother skin stretches from the muscled joint to the toes.

### Body

The body of a gruppie is covered by contoured skin and thick muscle. It has no wings, making its surface fairly uniform; the only feature on the body's surface that projects outward is the tail, short, tapered and sitting at the very back of the body.

### Neck

The neck is the most versatile tool a gruppie has; it can bend in many different directions and angles, owing to its internal vertebrae and muscle structure. It also allows the gruppie to drink from cactus barrels, its only apparent water source, which sits on the ground, far below its head.

### Head

The head of a gruppie has several noticeable features. A black horn sitting on the nasal bridge of the head is capable of extending, allowing the horn to pierce the husk of cactus barrels and obtain water for the animal. The eyes, sitting on opposite sides of the front of the head, appear similar to those of a goat, with a horizontal pupil within an oblong iris. A wide-mouth without teeth sits below the eyes and horn, stretching all the way back behind and above the final detail of the head, which are small, bulbous appendages several inches long that extend laterally from the head and come to a point. While it is unknown what purpose they serve, they may be a part of the animal's auditory system.

## Discovery

Gruppies were first discovered by Group B-5 when they landed on Shummoor and began looking for food and water; the half of the group searching for water happened upon them by chance and determined that, while the taste of their meat was evidently foul, they were amicable creatures, to the point that the gruppies allowed the children to ride on their backs and hauled cactus barrels back to their ship while pulling hoversleds.

Later, when the crew was poisoned by the pole-trees' blooming and Kanata ventured out to find the antidote, a gruppie they had inadvertently saved by unknowingly feeding it the antidote returned to him, allowed the weakened Kanata to climb on its back, and carried him back to the Planet Astra.
Chapter 37

**Chapter 37** is the thirty-seventh chapter of the *Astra Lost in Space* manga. It is the eleventh chapter of the Icriss Arc and, in the compiled volumes, the ninth and final chapter of the fourth volume.

## Synopsis

In her diary, Aries notes they have spent 13 days on Icriss, but they have finally managed to collect all the supplies they needed and now are ready to head out to the next planet. As Paulina and Quitterie are getting packing up, Paulina asks if everyone is okay about knowing that they are all clones. Paulina remarks that everyone has seemed to accept it and are optimistic in knowing their future.

The group has a farewell dinner and leave Icriss. Zack is able to get the deep space telescope to work again, as part of the repairs from swapping the Astra (ship) with the ship that Paulina was on, Ark VI. The telescope is able to see up to 2,000 light-years away, and he soon manages to locate and focuses on their homeworld. The students gaze longingly and even get emotional at seeing their home and realize they are almost at the finish line. The ecstatic crew prepares to head for their last planet before reaching home.

Paulina soon enters the room and is shown by the others the picture of the home. Overcome by emotion, she realizes they are almost there. But she then focuses closely on the planet. She remarks that the continents and oceans appear to be out of location and misshaped, such as Africa looking incorrect and other continents in mysterious locations. Kanata asks her what's wrong, and she retorts that Earth is not supposed to look like that and asks them to check the readings again. To her shock, a confused Kanata asks what is "Earth".

Stunned beyond belief, Paulina pleads with the students, saying that Earth is their home; the birthplace of humanity. But it appears that the students honestly don't know what "Earth" is. The students ask if she is okay, and soon wild theories fly in her mind, including if they are actually aliens instead. But they all speak the same language and appear to be human, so she defiantly points to the planet as seen by the telescope and asks them what planet is that and where they come from. Kanata, not knowing what she is talking about, tells her that the planet is called Astra.

In turn, Charce reveals that Aries is a clone of Seira, his old friend who acted as a sister to him and the daughter of the king of Vixia, and goes on to explain his time with her before she was assassinated. Left with no purpose, Charce tries to kill himself with an artificial wormhole but Kanata saves him, losing his right arm in the process.

## Background

Rei was a great athlete in his youth, but after an accident he had to quit his dream.

## Plot

Rei Hoshijima is one of a group of people who carried out illegal cloning of themselves. He did so to have his memories moved to a younger body so that he could resume being an athlete without the hindrance of an injury. After the Genome Control Act was passed, he and his group came up with an idea to get rid of their clones in order not to get caught and arrested. They put all the clones in the same class and sent them on a camping trip to another planet, McPa. There they would be killed off by the King's clone via a wormhole portal. The portal would transport them 5,012 lightyears away from Astra to planet Earth. He and the others believed they were in the clear because the police didn't want to continue the search, and they did not know their children had survived, and were merely lost in space.

## Relationships

### Kanata Hoshijima

Rei is Kanata's Original. Even though he raised Kanata as his son, he kept him at arm's length, never showing him any love or affection, and only constantly training him to follow in his footsteps as an athlete. The only time he was ever concerned about Kanata's life was when Kanata got lost on a camping trip for a few days. This is because if he had lost Kanata he would lose his future youth.

## Synopsis

111 days have passed since the students of Group B-5 have been stranded in deep space. Onboard the Astra (ship), they soon approach their final destination, Planet Galem. Aries remarks she has achieved her goal of becoming friends with everyone on board the ship as they land on the planet.

On the ground, they realize that the planet is made up of huge amounts of bio-luminescent species on the planet. The group splits up to collect food, water, and other supplies, with Paulina dryly remarking that they are very used to this. Kanata and Aries are impressed by the wildlife and diversity of species on the planet, and they both wonder what their lives will be like when they return home.

As Kanata continues to forage, he continues to ponder the idea of who the killer is, but tries to shove the idea into the back of his mind, as he feels like everyone has gotten along so well, that even any potential killer has formed a special bond with them by this point. His main worry now is trying to get home and he secretly hopes that the idea of a killer never existed.

As he returns back to the ship, a wormhole appears right next to him seemingly out of nowhere. He barely has time to react and immediately sprints to a nearby cave and runs far enough inside until the wormhole disappears. He runs into Aries, who came from an entrance from another side of the cave. He soon realizes that the killer is still among them, and is willing to kill everyone else on the planet before taking the ship for themselves. However, they must use wormhole technology away from the ship in order to avoid damaging the ship. Pondering on it for a while, he soon realizes he has figured out who the killer is, and begins to devise a plan to capture the killer.

Meanwhile, back home, the authorities have all but given up on finding the missing students after an exhaustive search on McPa. The parents of the missing students meet and consider whether they should declare their children legally dead. Only Aries' mom is genuinely concerned while the other parents are quick to accept the decision to stop the search.

Genome Control Act

The **Genome Control Act** (ゲノム管理法, ***Genome Control Act***?) was a law passed by the government of Astra in order to limit and in some cases prevent genetic modification of the DNA of humans. Part of the reason for this was to find clones, as they were illegal and the people who made them would be charged with fines and sentenced to jail.

Group B-5's parents had made illegal clones of themselves with the intent of transferring their minds into their clones so they could achieve immortality. When they realized the passing of this law would make their crimes obvious, they sent their children on a "school trip" to Planet McPa. This was actually a farce, and the real reason for the trip was for the king's clone to kill all of them in space where their deaths could be passed off as a mysterious accident.

This attempt did not succeed, and all of the parents involved in the illegal cloning project were arrested, and their children were issued new birth certificates.
Caird High School

**Caird High School** (ケアード高校, ***Caird High School***?) is a high school located on Astra which the cast of the series attend. At the start of the series, Caird's Vice Principal was Gert Zweig.

She's then disclosed the events that took place in World War III. In turn, Pauline discloses information on how a giant asteroid could kill all life on the planet when it struck. As a way to preserve a fraction of the history and life on Earth, a planetary expedition was created to seek out new planets to inhabit. The thought of interplanetary immigration is thought to be impossible, however, due to artificial wormholes, it makes it possible. This makes all of the inhabitants of Astra are former Earthlings. It's also surmised that the icy planet they once discovered was really Earth. The topic is segued by Aries who wants to focus on the bad atmosphere. Afterward, Aries and Kanata have a talk.

They land on Shummoor and begin foraging for food and encounter large, friendly bird-like aliens they dub Gloopies. Unfortunately, they discover that most of the edible plants on Shummoor spoil extremely quickly making them unsuitable for long term storage, and the Gruppies are inedible, meaning they do not have enough food supplies for the next leg of the trip. Meanwhile, Yunhua deserts the ship, telling the crew to leave her behind. Kanata goes out to search for her and finds her. Yunhua reveals that her mother emotionally abused her and raised her into believing it was better to avoid the attention of others. At that moment, the large mushrooms scattered around the planet begin releasing poisonous spores, infecting all of the students except Kanata and Yunhua, who were wearing their spacesuits. Charce tells them that there should be an antidote mushroom to counter the poison, and Kanata and Yunhua remember feeding a sick Gruppie a yellow mushroom that cured it. As Kanata gathers the antidote mushrooms, Yunhua begins to sing to calm her sick friends' thanks to Kanata encouraging her to pursue her dream to be a singer. Kanata brings the antidote mushrooms back, curing his friends while Yunhua gains more self-confidence.

Sophie Lacroix

Anime

**Sophie Lacroix** (ソフィ・ラクロワ, *Sofi Rakurowa*?) (Spelled as Sofie Lacroix in the manga) is the mother of Charce Lacroix.

## Appearance

Sophie has medium length brown hair, lilac-colored eyes, and a prominent chin. She wears a small pink overcoat with a pearl string attachment over a yellow outfit.

## Personality

Unlike many of the parents who acted in an apathetic fashion about the fact that their children could be lost or worse dead, Sophie expressed general concern, even asking if it's possible to ask the politician Marco, the father of Luca, to extend the search for their children.

## Plot

At Caird High School, Sophie along with the other parents and vice-principal attend a meeting regarding their missing children.
Planet McPa

**Planet McPa** (惑星マクパ , ***Planet McPa***?) is a planet in the galaxy.

## Overview

Planet McPa is nine light-years away from Astra which would take approximately four hours to travel between using a standard spaceship. Its geological appearance seems to be similar to that of Earth, as one area contains a vast landscape with trees, shrubberies, clouds, mountains, and rock formations. The air is also safe to breathe in as Group B-5 deactivated their space helmets upon landing on it.

For generations, Caird High School has hosted a 5-days camp on Planet McPa as seen when Aries Spring spoke to an elderly lady who spoke fondly of her memories on the planet. In the year 2063 A.D., Group B-5 made their journey to Planet McPa where they encountered a strange globe that sucked them up into a completely different area of space that is 5,012 light-years away from Planet McPa.

## Trivia

* McPa is an anagram for the word "Camp."
Planet Arispade

**Planet Arispade** (惑星アリスペード, ***Planet Arispade***?) is the third planet that the crew of the Astra visits on their trip back home.

## Principles

It is almost completely covered in water, and the few islands on it are subject to frequent flooding due to massive planet-wide tsunamis that occur when earthquakes strike. It does, however, have a vast array of marine life in the ocean and birds on the islands.

## Trivia

* Arispade is an anagram for the word "paradise".
* Arispade is inhabited by animals that reproduce by cloning. This is likely foreshadowing about the real reason Group B-5 were sent to McPa.
Imperial District of Vixia

The **Imperial District of Vixia** (ヴィクシア王政地区, ***Imperial District of Vixia***?) is where the world's kings and nobles live. The current king for most of the story is King Noah Vix. After team B-5 returns, though, Charce becomes the new king.

## Principles

In the year 2063, the world's surviving population had relocated from Earth to Astra using portal generation devices from the corporation Vixia. Because of this, Vixia was granted permission to form a kingdom independent from the rest of the world. Due to the wars that had destroyed half the world's population, all other nations were abolished. This knowledge, however, is only known to a select few in Vixia, and the rest of the world hears a different story that puts the year of the war as 1963 and removes the part about relocating worlds.

Though technically the supreme ruler, the king is a mere figurehead as all political power resides in the world government. Life in the imperial district is, in a word, pastoral and the people live simply, with excess technological advances actively forbidden. In fact, the whole district seems to be modeled on an idealized version of a medieval European kingdom. It is a popular tourist destination, visitors flocking to it for its fairy tale-like atmosphere.

However, the center of the district is walled off. All commoners and tourists are forbidden entry, for that is where the nobility and royalty live. The imperial district is the one district in the world where the caste system still exists. The royals and those families historically connected to them are the nobility, and they comprise about 20 percent of the population.

Chapter 41

**Chapter 41** is the forty-first chapter of the *Astra Lost in Space* manga. It is the fourth chapter of the Galem Arc and, in the compiled volumes, the fourth chapter of the fifth volume.

## Synopsis

As rain falls down on Planet Galem, Kanata tells the others to stay on the ship while he takes Charce and Zack to go forage for supplies. However, he secretly pulls them aside and tells them about the sphere trying to swallow him. Both of them are shocked by this revelation, and Kanata explains that he's going to have them help him capture the real killer: Ulgar.

Since he doesn't have proof, he plans to trap Ulgar into exposing himself. He explains that the killer has been using a portable version of the wormhole to move around and attempt to assassinate the group. Charce asks why the killer suddenly decided to resume his plan again. Kanata continues by telling them that the killer is planning to go home alone, but his original plan was to commit suicide by killing everyone. The killer realized that once the Astra (ship) was discovered, the killer could survive, and since they didn't have a pilot's license, they could work with the others to piggyback all the way home. Over time, the killer learned how to pilot the ship and plans to kill the group on Galem and return home alone.

Zack asks that if they should just restrain Ulgar now, but Kanata shakes his head and responds that Ulgar has not only the wormhole but also the gun. Because of both advantages, Ulgar has over them, he plans to strike first before Ulgar realizes what's up. Kanata theorizes that Ulgar plans to kill all of them one by one, with proof of the orb being used on Kanata the previous day.

He asks Charce to become the decoy, and when Ulgar thinks Charce is alone, he will use the wormhole. However, Zack and Kanata will be tailing behind secretly and will pounce on Ulgar when he activates the wormhole. But Ulgar has an ace up his sleeve: the gun. Kanata knows that Ulgar has failed three times already and might use the gun to kill Charce and throw his body into the orb, so he went ahead and disabled Ulgar's gun to make it inoperable. Charce agrees with the idea, and they head out.

The trio approaches the cave, and Charce wonders what's the wisest course of action to take. They approach a wide area of the cave, and suddenly Kanata abandons the plan as Funicia has gone missing as pinged by the others back home. Kanata and Zack race to go find her, leaving Charce and Ulgar alone. Ulgar points the gun at him but finds out it isn't working.

The wormhole suddenly appears and threatens to encompass both of them. As they back up, all of a sudden Kanata grabs a hold of Charce. He warns Charce to shut down the wormhole, as he knew all along that Charce was the attempted killer.

Episode 6

**"SECRET"** is the sixth episode of the *Astra Lost in Space* anime.

## Summary

As Ulgar holds Luca at gunpoint, he states that he is not the traitor and explains to everybody that he believes his older brother was murdered by the politician Marco Esposito for investigating his corruption. He seeks to kill Luca for revenge, as he is Marco's eldest son and apparent heir. Luca then reveals that he is not Marco's heir due to being intersex, having been born with both male and female biology. In addition, he had been secretly adopted into the Esposito family before his condition was discovered, and was all but disowned when his younger brother was born. Ulgar realizes Luca is an outcast from his family just like him and lowers the gun. Suddenly, the island is hit by a tsunami. Most of the group manages to make it on to the Astra safely, but Ulgar and Luca are washed away. Ulgar attempts to sacrifice himself to ensure Luca's safety, but they both end up being rescued by Kanata. After they leave Arispade, Ulgar apologizes to Luca and vows to return home alive to investigate his brother's death. Zack then brings up the possibility that Ulgar's brother may have uncovered a much deeper conspiracy than government corruption, which may be related to why they've all been targeted. Ulgar decides he will become a journalist like his brother and Kanata allows Ulgar to maintain possession of the gun since he is the only person who knows how to use it. Later on, Aries gets into a conversation with Charce, and she notices an inconsistency in his story because she doesn't remember seeing him in the biology class he claimed to attend. The group confronts Charce, suspecting he is hiding something from them.

## Background

In 2049, a 300 km wide asteroid was discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. With only 8 years until the asteroid struck and wiped out all life on Earth, humanity made plans to evacuate the entire planet to a new habitable world using recently discovered wormhole technology.

However, when the news was revealed to the general public, many old conflicts were renewed as nations fought bloody wars with each other to get access to the new world that humanity had discovered, exacerbated by the new wormhole technology. After the death of billions, the survivors evacuated to the new world, Astra.

Earth was then hit by the asteroid in 2057 with debris clouding the atmosphere, preventing sunlight from reaching Earth and causing a new ice age.

Astra is ruled by a united world government, with the King of the Imperial District as its leader.
Astra (ship)

**The Astra** is the spaceship that the Group B-5 use to return home from deep space. The name was given by Kanata Hoshijima, who got the idea from a plaque placed on the ship that said: "Ad Astra, Per Aspera" (Latin for "To the stars, through difficulties").

Even though the Astra is an older ship, it does have faster than light capability.

According to Polina Livinskaya, the spaceship's actual name is Ark XII, which was supposed to be used for exploration in deep space to find a suitable planet to replace Earth before an asteroid hit it.

After the group returns to Astra, the ship is put in a museum, as it's a relic of the old era. Seven years later, Kanata manages to save up enough money to buy it, and he, along with Zack and Charce, set out on it once again to explore space.
