オタクは、文化と平和を愛する人達だと信じている。地域や言語で分断されていた世界中のオタクが、IOEAにより大きなコミュニティとなり、この混沌と混乱の人類社会に、一筋の光明を我々に見せてくれることを期待する。文化創造こそ人類が邁進すべき課題なのだ。

I believe the otakus are people who love culture and peace. I fully expect otakus world-wide, who were formerly divided by geography and language, to be able to form a large community through the work of the IOEA, and thus, they will be able to cast a ray of hope to the human society that is mired in the current confusion and chaos. The paramount prerogative of humanity should be placed upon the advancement within the realm of cultural creativity.
