Thus, the search for so-called 'Element Users' was prioritised, hoping to ensure humanity's future. In order for the Aquarion to be brought to full power, three pilots must combine their hearts, bodies, and souls into one-a feat few can hope to accomplish. To give humanity somewhat of a chance, an organization known as DEAVA was formed, and use of a robotic weapon named Aquarion has been authorized.

But 11 years after a catastrophe dubbed the Holy Genesis brought ruin to the Earth, the Shadow Angels were stirred from their slumber and resumed the attacks once more. Thanks to some outrageous miracle, the Shadow Angels went dormant, and humanity was able to live another 12,000 years without fearing their presence. The theme of love is explored further in a few other examples, such as a character from Neo-DEAVA and an Altair spy growing very attached to each other, and another character being forced to examine his own feelings after his love interest is transformed into a man.Once upon a time, a race known as the Shadow Angels attacked Earth to harvest the life force of all those who inhabited the planet. It also presents a different view of love held by characters of Altair, whose perceptions of it are warped by the current state of their planet - that of the complete extinction of women.

The restriction placed on the members of Neo-DEAVA that forbids love at the same time permits a real development in the characters' relationships from infatuation and teen romance to love. Of its many themes, that of love is the most prominent. Themes Aquarion EVOL, while a giant robot show at heart, focuses mostly on the characters and character development. To protect their new friend Mikono, teenager Amata Sora makes use of the power he has kept in secret his entire life and by combining Vectors with male and female pilots into one single robot, the legendary giant Aquarion is reborn.
