In the New Age, because of the implications of love, comprehension and one-ness, it can be associated with the fourth chakra. The Age of Aquarius was seen in contraposition with current the Age of Pisces: whereas the Age of Pisces represents duality and antithesis (thus, conflict), the Age of Aquarius is an age of synthesis and spiritualism (in some ways, a new golden age). Religious references Age of Aquarius Īge of Aquarius, also known as the Aquarian Age, was a concept popularized by Carl Gustav Jung. They become convinced of this when he single-handedly takes control of the Vector Sol, unites the Vectors into the Solar Aquarion formation and defeats the enemy, thus causing him to be recruited by DEAVA to join their ranks. They also discover the Elements can ultimately unite the Vectors into one of three formations of the giant robot in battle, and can use it to fight and defeat the Cherubim.ĭuring the Elements' first sortie against the Cherubim by uniting the Vectors into a formation of Aquarion, they stumble on 13-year-old Apollo, who seems to be the reincarnation of Apollonius. DEAVA discovers only people with special powers, called Elements ( エレメント, Eremento), can use the Vectors and the three Vectors are in fact the pieces of Aquarion, the same robot used to fight the Shadow Angels twelve millennia before.
The three Vectors, colored mostly in white, are identified as the green Vector Luna ( ベクタールナ, Bekutā Runa), the blue Vector Mars ( ベクターマーズ, Bekutā Māzu), and the red Vector Sol ( ベクターソル, Bekutā Soru).
However a human expedition under the leadership of Gen Fudo excavates three very technologically advanced fighter planes, and an organization called DEAVA ( ディーバ, Dība, Division of EArth Vitalization Advancement) takes over the research of these planes, called Vectors ( ベクター, Bekutā), trying to identify how to use them. Ordinary weapons prove ineffective against the Cherubim, and rings of projectors around the remaining cities, tapping into Earth's strata to project a quantum shield to keep Shadow Angels from entering or materializing in them, provide only limited protection. They are sentient machines, yet there are times when they are piloted by Shadow Angels. The Shadow Angels facilitate their harvesting via giant, floating harvesting machines called harvest beasts ( 収穫獣, shūkakujū) which are guarded by giant mecha called Cherubim Soldiers ( ケルビム兵, Kerubimu Hei).
Their prana serves as energy and nutrition not only to the Shadow Angels, but also to the legendary Tree of Life ( 生命の樹, Seimei no Ki). The Shadow Angels began invading human cites to harvest human beings, dubbing them "the wingless ones," like cattle, to extract prana ( プラーナ, purāna, life force) from the captured humans.
Along with the disaster came the return of the Shadow Angels who had been in slumber in their city of Atlantia ( アトランディア, Atorandia) since their battle with Apolonius.
Apollonius joins forces with the humans to free mankind from oppression, by using the legendary giant fighting robot Aquarion ( アクエリオン, Akuerion).Įleven years prior to the story, in a disaster referred to as the "Great Catastrophe" Earth's magnetic field shifted devastating significant parts of the world and killing off many of its inhabitants. That is, until one of their kind, Apollonius, fell in love with a female human warrior, Seliane. Twelve thousand years in the past, mankind was at mercy of the mythical creatures known as Shadow Angels ( 堕天翅, Datenshi), immortal winged beings with overwhelming powers and technology.
