Dusk Beyond the End of the World Episode 1 English Dubbed Episode Title: The Woman Who Sailed the Soul Episode Description: As Akira tries to understand his surroundings, he is found by a man and a girl, both of whom address him as "Lord Omniscient" and later take Akira to Hakodate, where the settlement consists of a village among the ruins of modern buildings. The man introduces himself as the village chief Weir and the girl as his daughter Idhi. Weir explains that the villagers have worshipped Lord Omniscient for generations, and Hakodate was assigned to guard Akira's location. As Akira spends time in the village, he learns he is a "relic" from a time known as the "Common Era", OWEL is a central world-controlling organization which had abolished the concept of countries, technology in the village is largely absent, and the concept of marriage has been replaced by "ehlsea", a more flexible vow for multiple partners to live together; however, Akira is unable to find information on what has happened in the past. Weir tries to keep Akira in the village, but Weir's brother alerts OWEL of Akira's presence, resulting in Akira, Idhi, and Weir being arrested and taken away by the OWEL director Caniss and his soldiers. While being transported, Akira overhears Caniss giving orders to kill all the villagers in Hakodate. As the soldiers prepare to execute Weir and Idhi, a hooded figure appears and Akira hastily agrees to return a favor in exchange for help. The figure kills Caniss and his soldiers and reveals itself to be a female android with a striking resemblance to Towasa. She introduces herself as Yugure and immediately asks Akira to marry her.
