"The Moment Of Truth" is the final episode of the series Ōban Star-Racers.
The Great Race comes to a surprising and powerful end. Old grudges and past wrongs are finally forgiven. Oban is reborn as a new Avatar is crowned, and a young girl faces a new, brighter future.
[edit] Plot
Eva, Aikka and Jordan enter the temple of the heart so that Eva can be crowned as the new avatar. Canaletto, however, is waiting for them inside. Aikka gives her a dagger that is so strong, that "even Canaletto will feel its royal sting". Eva stays in one place while Jordan and Aikka search for Canaletto. Jordan finds him, but is pushed into a wall with Canaletto's red pulse wave. Aikka then fires a magic arrow, but it misses. He sends Molly to the pyramid and she heads towards it whilst Aikka finds Canaletto again. The Ex-Avatar stops Aikka's arrow and sends it back at the prince, destroying half the temple when it collides near by.
Eva reaches the pyramid, but Canaletto materializes in front of her and dissolves her dagger. He explains how he has been manipulating events for millennia so that she would arrive at this point because she was the only one who would not take the Avatar's crown. He killed Eva's mother, sabotaged Rick's racer and took care of Sul just to get to this moment. He then makes Eva forget and she is surrounded by a red glow. As she floats closer to the pyramid, it activates. The Creators appear and try to fight Canaletto, but they are dissolved and form a ball of energy that will make him avatar. Suddenly, Eva notices that Jordan has climbed to the top of a fallen pillar. He tells her he loves her and jumps into the ball of energy, becoming the new Avatar.
Canaletto is destroyed and Oban is revived. The energy wave from Oban disables the Krog fleet fighting the humans in space, ending the war. Eva says goodbye to Jordan in his new golden shining form. He kisses her good-bye and leaves with the creators. Aikka and Eva promise to see each other soon and they leave for their home planets. It is revealed that Ning & Skun and Muir survived the last race along with some of Lord Furter's crew.
[edit] Epilogue
With the new Avatar chosen, the race ends, and the team is sent back to Earth. When they arrive they are breifly detained and informed of the events that happened outside Oban and the energy released when Canaletto was destroyed somehow disabled the Crog and Earth warships. Both armies were rumored to have set down their weapons voluntarily, but none of them must ever speak the truth -- it must remain top secret forever.
Stan and Koji went back to working for Miguel and Don Wei went back to his 'sweet self' managing his racing team. As for Eva, she went back to school – a nicer one, closer to home. Eva somehow see's Jordan more then a friend and that she has true feelings for him. Sometimes she feels as if none of it ever happened -- as if it was all just a dream; but it wasn't. She had her father back, and got her wish after all. She says it was fun to be Molly, but she's glad to be Eva again.
