Bubbles are an alien species that appeared in the film, Bubble.

Bubbles are shown constantly throughout the entirety of the film, with many acting as antagonists and another as a protagonist.

## History

From the beginning of the film, bubbles are shown to be hovering over the surface and in the atmosphere of the Earth. Many scientists are confused, and serves as a research project for an extended amount of time.

One day, while visiting Tokyo Tower, Hibiki comes into contact with a bubble, having heard the song that is only able to be heard between bubbles and him. When a bond is made between them, this angers the rest of the bubbles, causing them to descend rapidly, changing the gravity in certain places around Earth. The attack leads to an explosion around Tokyo Tower, killing hundreds.

The bubbles then congregate around Tokyo, making the city uninhabitable. The citizens are then evacuated, and Tokyo is cut off from the rest of the world.

Bubbles are referenced to constantly, most notably by Makoto. A researcher, Makoto notes Hibiki's peculiar ability to land on the surface of the bubbles and seemingly control them, making him an invaluable parkour player.

After Hibiki and Uta meet, the bubbles begin to become angered, and turn red, signaling an attack. When the city is evacuated. the gravity field drops releasing floating buildings and presumably killing many.

At the end of the film. the bubbles disappear from Earth, their location unknown, leaving behind Uta, who stays to be beside Hibiki.

## Appearance

Bubbles are spherical, and have an eight-by-eight frame. However, the sizes also tend to vary, depending on the size and congregation of the bubbles.

The species are also noted to be various different colors. presumably depending on emotion. Red signifies anger or hurt, and is the color most used when the bubbles are moving or launching an attack.

A purplish-bluish tint is the default, normal tint of the bubbles, and is the color when they are just hovering or rest in midair. This color is the most shown throughout the film. and is Uta's signature color scheme.

## Personality

While no facial expressions are shown, bubbles have an eerie, almost ethereal-like presence. They are shown to be very possessive and pushy when it comes to their kind, including being overprotective and willing to hurt others when it comes to defending their species. Usually it seems. the bubbles are pacifists, usually refusing to fight even when being pushed or prodded, and the only people who have been able to touch them are Uta and Hibiki. The only time when they seemed stressed or possessive was when Uta became a human to save and be with Hibiki.

## Abilities

**Gyrokinesis (Gravity Manipulation):** Bubbles have unnatural ability to change and control gravity; as shown when they made buildings float nad suspending Tokyo Tower in midair. It is currently unknown whether or not a bubble in human form can do the same; they can only access the tangibility of other bubbles in order to move around.

**Congregation/Unified Mind:** They also seem to have a unified mind; sharing thoughts and speaking through each other's presence. Uta was also able to sense when her "sisters" were worried or angry with her, but constantly blocked it out, revealing that a mind can separate from the hive. Bubbles are also able to hear a special song which allows them to communicate with each other. The bubbles, whether or not they have a leader, can control and manipulate each other to bring them closer or spread farther apart.

## Notables

**Uta:** Uta is, by birth, a bubble. It is unknown why she can turn into a human; but it is mostly thanks to Hibiki. At the beginning and the end of the movie, She is shown to be capable of communicating through song. She also has a relationship with her "sisters" or other bubbles, who are the parallel characters to the Little Mermaid's sisters, who rescued her from dying a terrible death. Despite the way that they presented themselves, they also had Uta's best interests in mind, wanting to protect her from being hurt or disintegrated by Hibiki.
