**[00:26] ---**
If the god of the universe
created these stars,
**[00:31] ---**
then who exactly was it that brought about
the origins of us humans- no, of all life?
**[00:48] ---**
Is destruction the only thing
from which all things are born?
**[00:52] ---**
If so, then mankind must
forever go on fighting.
**[00:59] ---**
I wonder how many fleeting lives have
been lost in this universe as a result.
**[01:45] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:52] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:59] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[02:06] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[02:13] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[02:15] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[02:17] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[02:18] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[02:22] ---**
*Deeply, deeply,
it's becoming etched in my mind*
**[02:28] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[02:35] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[02:41] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[03:14] ---**
Picking up enemy fleet ahead.
**[03:16] ---**
Range: 2800.
**[03:18] ---**
Roughly 15,000 enemy ships total.
**[03:35] ---**
Allied Nobility fleet approaching!
Range: 2500!
**[03:38] ---**
1500 to go before our guns are
within effective firing range.
**[03:47] ---**
Vetti-sama, your orders?
**[03:50] ---**
It is within sight.
**[03:53] ---**
We will be victorious.
**[04:03] ---**
I am now taking command
in place of Vetti-sama!
**[04:07] ---**
All ships, prepare for battle!
**[04:37] ---**
Commence fire!
**[04:39] ---**
Fire!
**[04:59] ---**
1st and 2nd armadas, guns to port!
**[05:02] ---**
All turrets, rotate to port!
**[05:08] ---**
Fire!
**[05:11] ---**
Impact!
**[05:13] ---**
Adjust range!
**[05:15] ---**
Ready... all turrets fire!
**[05:18] ---**
3rd and 5th ships damaged!
**[05:20] ---**
The flagship has been hit aft!
Fires have broken out inside!
**[05:24] ---**
The enemy's third armada
has been silenced.
**[05:27] ---**
Right on schedule.
**[05:29] ---**
Shift targeting to Cornelie.
**[05:31] ---**
E-enemy squadron sighted to port!
**[05:53] ---**
Enemy 1st and 5th armadas
completely silenced!
**[05:57] ---**
3rd and 7th armadas have
also begun withdrawing!
**[06:01] ---**
Now to polish off the enemy fleet!
All ships, forward!
**[06:05] ---**
Fire, fire, fire away!
**[06:26] ---**
All ships, commence retreat!
**[06:30] ---**
The 14th armada has been silenced!
**[06:32] ---**
The last defensive line has been breached!
**[06:35] ---**
Excellency, your decision?
**[06:42] ---**
Launch... launch the fireworks...
**[06:51] ---**
They're signaling surrender.
**[07:06] ---**
Curse you, Vetti!
You call yourself a nobleman?!
**[07:25] ---**
Just where has the Allied Nobility
led us during these last 20 years?
**[07:31] ---**
They have advanced the privilege
of the nobility alone,
**[07:34] ---**
lined their own pockets,
and squandered our precious resources!
**[07:38] ---**
But by your heroic actions, their corrupt,
devilish faction is no more!
**[07:50] ---**
However, I do not believe
the reconstruction of the galaxy
**[07:53] ---**
will happen automatically.
**[07:55] ---**
It all rests upon your labors!
**[07:58] ---**
We will rely upon our own state,
and upon our own citizenry!
**[08:04] ---**
The reason for this is that the future
of our galaxy exists only within ourselves!
**[08:10] ---**
And so, here and now,
**[08:13] ---**
I declare the formation of a new empire
to unite the galaxy!
**[08:23] ---**
But I knew...
**[08:27] ---**
This was not the beginning of peace;
**[08:30] ---**
it was nothing more than
the start of a new age of chaos.
**[08:35] ---**
In order to clear the way
toward this blockaded world,
**[08:38] ---**
the times called for a savior.
**[08:41] ---**
And so did I.
**[08:49] ---**
In the beginning, there was
the God of the Black Cross.
**[08:52] ---**
God created the heaven and the earth.
**[08:56] ---**
The earth was without form, and void,
and darkness was upon the face of it.
**[09:01] ---**
And God said, "Let there be light."
**[09:06] ---**
And the light divided the darkness.
**[09:09] ---**
When the light streamed forth,
it was called Day,
**[09:12] ---**
and when the light streamed
not forth, it was called Night.
**[09:15] ---**
And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
**[09:21] ---**
As the God of the Black Cross
has loved me,
**[09:26] ---**
so have I loved you.
**[09:29] ---**
If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love;
**[09:35] ---**
even as I have kept the
God of the Black Cross' commandments,
**[09:39] ---**
and abide in His love.
**[09:42] ---**
As I have loved you, love one another.
**[09:53] ---**
Now, in keeping with
the traditions of old,
**[09:57] ---**
we now perform this marriage ceremony.
**[10:16] ---**
Out of the depths of darkness
have I cried unto thee.
**[10:20] ---**
I pray thee, hear my voice.
**[10:22] ---**
Let thine ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications.
**[10:27] ---**
If thou shouldest mark iniquities,
who shall stand?
**[10:35] ---**
I wait for the savior,
and in his word do I hope.
**[10:42] ---**
My soul waiteth for the true savior
more than they that watch for the morrow.
**[10:48] ---**
For He that defendest thee now
shall defend thee even unto eternity.
**[10:58] ---**
Place your certificates of regency
for Nerkia and Rodney here.
**[11:05] ---**
At last, the time
when the wool of Rodney
**[11:07] ---**
and the textile techniques of Nerkia
are joined has arrived.
**[11:10] ---**
How long I have waited for this day!
**[11:15] ---**
May you find happiness
in the light of the Cross.
**[11:26] ---**
Tonight, soleil is joined,
and an eternal vow is made.
**[11:31] ---**
Are there any objections?
**[11:32] ---**
If there are no objections,
let silence be your response.
**[11:38] ---**
Very well, the ceremony of the kiss...
**[11:43] ---**
I object!
**[11:47] ---**
The time is at hand!
**[11:48] ---**
You must learn the longsuffering
pain of the masses,
**[11:53] ---**
and the blood and tears that
have been shed, for your luxury!
**[11:58] ---**
Bishop, what in the world?
**[12:00] ---**
Silence! I am...
**[12:04] ---**
...Michel Volban, of the People's Army!
**[12:17] ---**
Forward!
**[12:25] ---**
My beloved friends,
**[12:28] ---**
I have come only to tell you
things as they are.
**[12:31] ---**
Those of you with
the heart to hear, hear me!
**[12:34] ---**
Once, the emperor in name only,
Vetti Sforza, made this declaration:
**[12:38] ---**
"The future of our galaxy
exists only within ourselves!"
**[12:43] ---**
However, the only thing that
existed in his false heart
**[12:46] ---**
was a wasteland of
his own famished appetites!
**[12:49] ---**
We will spare your lives
if you do not resist us.
**[12:52] ---**
Who is it that wants only a portion
of the nobility to grow scandalously fat,
**[12:57] ---**
while the rest of us die as slaves?!
**[12:59] ---**
Please surrender at once!
**[13:01] ---**
I love the galaxy!
**[13:03] ---**
That is why I will win its freedom!
**[13:07] ---**
Everyone! We're going to
put down the nobility ourselves!
**[13:31] ---**
We've taken the residential
district and the ports!
**[13:33] ---**
Good.
**[13:35] ---**
We've secured the power plants, too.
**[13:37] ---**
Mm-hmm. Well done all around.
**[13:40] ---**
They were fairly weak. Strange...
**[13:45] ---**
I've just received word that
Nerkia and Rodney are now...
**[13:48] ---**
...completely under the control
of the People's Army!
**[13:54] ---**
However, my friends, we have
not come to liberate you!
**[14:01] ---**
We cannot force you
into the vortex of battle!
**[14:05] ---**
But if you are prepared to fight
alongside us, then my friends,
**[14:10] ---**
I promise you-
**[14:12] ---**
Our future lies together with your courage!
**[14:19] ---**
Michel! Michel! Michel!
Michel! Michel! Michel!
**[14:25] ---**
Nicely done, Michel-sama.
**[14:28] ---**
Nice work!
**[14:29] ---**
Mm-hmm, thanks.
**[14:42] ---**
W- what is this?!
**[14:44] ---**
Bad news! The Holy Imperial
fleet is approaching!
**[14:47] ---**
What?!
**[15:00] ---**
The first attack wave was successful.
**[15:02] ---**
Maconnais-sama, your orders?
**[15:06] ---**
Don't interrupt my dinner!
Do whatever needs to be done.
**[15:10] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[15:10] ---**
Ready main cannons!
Target Nerkia and Rodney territories!
**[15:15] ---**
Fire!
**[15:24] ---**
T- this wasn't the agreement!
**[15:26] ---**
Please don't hurt our territories!
**[15:30] ---**
The fireworks! The fireworks!
**[15:36] ---**
Crimson Virginia, give me strength!
**[15:50] ---**
Michel-sama, quickly!
**[15:56] ---**
Sylua, what are you doing?!
**[15:58] ---**
Oh, right...
**[16:04] ---**
Everyone join up with the main force!
**[16:15] ---**
So, it was a trap after all...
**[16:22] ---**
Theodoric!
**[16:23] ---**
This is bad! The Imperial Fleet
has launched a sneak attack!
**[16:26] ---**
What?! Did word of
our operation leak out?!
**[16:28] ---**
Anyone who has free hands,
**[16:30] ---**
please fight back using
this territory's ships!
**[16:45] ---**
Launch at once! Our ship as well!
**[17:03] ---**
Remember to leave the main dish!
If Michel is hurt, they'll purge me!
**[17:10] ---**
Fire!
**[17:32] ---**
Why? Why are they not aiming for my ship?
**[17:35] ---**
How frail. Him, a savior? That's a laugh.
**[17:39] ---**
The enemy fleet is attempting
to surround our ship.
**[17:43] ---**
So that's what this is...
**[17:46] ---**
M- Michel-sama! Bracered at 3 o'clock!
**[17:50] ---**
What?!
**[18:04] ---**
Message from Michel!
**[18:06] ---**
"Main force, return to base."
**[18:09] ---**
He's gotta be kidding!
We've gotta help him!
**[18:11] ---**
Yeah!
**[18:12] ---**
Please wait! We cannot allow
ourselves to be wiped out here!
**[18:16] ---**
Let us escape, as Michel told us to do!
**[18:19] ---**
Are you saying we should
leave Michel in the lurch?!
**[18:22] ---**
It's me that they're after.
I'll lure them away.
**[18:26] ---**
How are you going to fight by yourself?!
**[18:31] ---**
I have a plan.
**[18:34] ---**
All right!
**[18:35] ---**
Men! We're withdrawing
from this area at full speed!
**[18:46] ---**
The People's Army's main force
has begun fleeing.
**[18:49] ---**
Let them be. Our objective is Michel.
**[18:54] ---**
Michel-sama, there's a final message
from the main force.
**[18:57] ---**
"Come back alive."
**[19:01] ---**
Lure the enemy fleet to
join us in the bracered!
**[19:29] ---**
The enemy ship has
fallen completely silent.
**[19:32] ---**
It appears they are surrendering.
**[19:33] ---**
Well, they should have
done so in the first place.
**[19:36] ---**
M- Maconnais-sama!
There is a bracered approaching!
**[20:01] ---**
Maintain altitude!
Don't go against the flow!
**[20:08] ---**
Do something, quickly!
**[20:47] ---**
Jean!
**[20:49] ---**
Jean! Wake up, Jean! Are you all right?!
**[20:52] ---**
Yes, Michel-sama.
**[20:56] ---**
Sylua!
**[20:58] ---**
I'm all right.
**[21:04] ---**
Come about 180° and
withdraw at full speed!
**[21:06] ---**
I can't. The engines were
knocked out in that impact earlier!
**[21:09] ---**
What?!
**[21:10] ---**
Message from the enemy ship.
**[21:12] ---**
"Surrender at once,
or we will shoot you down."
**[21:19] ---**
If you thought you could get away,
you were greatly mistaken.
**[21:25] ---**
Inform them that if they will ensure
the safety of the lives of the others,
**[21:30] ---**
I will surrender.
**[21:31] ---**
You mustn't! You are the savior
of the People's Army!
**[21:35] ---**
He's right! Once you've surrendered,
Michel-sama, this ship will be attacked!
**[21:40] ---**
Let's fight, Michel-sama!
**[21:41] ---**
No! Fighting any further
will gain us nothing.
**[21:45] ---**
Then I am going with you.
**[21:46] ---**
So am I-
**[21:51] ---**
Hurry it up, would you?
**[21:54] ---**
Please understand, you two. This is
the last thing I'll ever ask of you.
**[21:59] ---**
Michel-sama...
**[22:07] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[22:08] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[22:14] ---**
They're signaling surrender.
**[22:15] ---**
Good decision. I'm going to
ascertain with my own eyes
**[22:19] ---**
this man whom Vetti-sama
is so particular about.
**[22:30] ---**
So this is the end...
**[22:33] ---**
The People's Army really
does need a savior.
**[22:38] ---**
Not me, a true savior.
**[22:48] ---**
A shooting star?
**[23:00] ---**
M- Maconnais-sama!
**[23:09] ---**
That is when I first met you.
At that moment, everything began...
**[23:14] ---**
"Like a Shooting Star"
**[23:15] ---**
...Cleo.
**[23:23] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[23:29] ---**
*where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[23:34] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[23:40] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[23:46] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[23:49] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[23:55] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[24:00] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[24:06] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[24:12] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[24:17] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[24:23] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[24:28] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[24:34] ---**
*so please, may you be here
on this world, smiling.*
**[24:49] ---**
A gust of wind that cut
through the blackness of space
**[24:52] ---**
pierces Maconnais' giant ship.
**[24:55] ---**
Is this a god or a devil
that has appeared?
**[24:57] ---**
Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like the Wind"
**[25:00] ---**
"Like the Wind"
**[25:01] ---**
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.

**[00:16] ---**
The fathomless reaches of space...
**[00:19] ---**
...blanketed in darkness,
without sound or wind...
**[00:23] ---**
We were raised in space,
where there is no wind.
**[00:27] ---**
But he was different.
**[00:32] ---**
Cleo, you were the wind.
**[00:36] ---**
I will never forget the gust of wind that
blew in from the far end of the galaxy.
**[01:20] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:27] ---**

*Both the unchanging mornings

**[02:16] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:54] ---**
Now then, how about we get going?
**[02:57] ---**
We're already going!
**[03:01] ---**
W- what was that?!
**[03:03] ---**
Its profile doesn't match anything!
**[03:05] ---**
We've never seen anything
with that configuration!
**[03:07] ---**
What shall we do?
**[03:09] ---**
Isn't that obvious?
**[03:10] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:11] ---**
Open gunports! Shoot it down!
**[03:15] ---**
Code deciphered.
**[03:16] ---**
Incoming fire from all turrets.
**[03:19] ---**
Too late for that!
**[03:27] ---**
It's fast!
**[03:28] ---**
Haven't you got them yet?
**[03:30] ---**
They're too fast.
**[03:35] ---**
Shut that little fly up.
**[03:47] ---**
You bulky, good-for-nothing fool!
**[03:59] ---**
Incredible...
**[04:07] ---**
What's the matter?
**[04:08] ---**
Don't ask me! Badat, there's not
enough output! What's going on?!
**[04:13] ---**
Looks like that last shot woke me up.
**[04:16] ---**
You're so slow!
**[04:18] ---**
Wake them up, as well.
**[04:20] ---**
You don't have to tell me!
**[04:22] ---**
Tenfold return fire!
**[04:36] ---**
We're not getting anywhere like this!
**[04:41] ---**
Pierce their heart.
**[04:44] ---**
I've been waiting for this! You're going
to show me your sexy dance tonight!
**[04:49] ---**
Analyzing soleil location...
**[04:57] ---**
Loading coordinates!
**[04:59] ---**
Take this!
**[05:05] ---**
W- what was that?!
**[05:07] ---**
Changeover!
**[05:36] ---**
Have they... transformed?
**[05:41] ---**
L- let's get Michel-sama out now,
while we can!
**[05:44] ---**
Right!
**[05:48] ---**
T- they're coming right at us!
**[05:50] ---**
Open all gunports! Full salvo!
**[05:58] ---**
Your thrashing about is undignified.
**[06:05] ---**
Was that?!
**[06:06] ---**
The crest of the royal family?
**[06:32] ---**
I've found you...
**[06:33] ---**
Total victory!
**[06:36] ---**
No it wasn't! Eimer, what happened?
**[06:40] ---**
I- it wasn't me! It was Nowy!
**[06:43] ---**
You deciphered it wrong!
**[06:45] ---**
It wasn't me. It was Eimer's pilot error.
**[06:49] ---**
--What?! I dare you to say that again!
**[06:51] ---**
--Stop! Stop!
**[06:54] ---**
We've done it again, huh? And here I was
hoping to feed you your fill of soleil.
**[07:00] ---**
That's okay, there's still
one more patsy out there.
**[07:04] ---**
Go on, say it again!
**[07:06] ---**
Huh?
**[07:07] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[07:08] ---**
Michel-sama! Are you hurt?
**[07:11] ---**
Never mind me, can we get
any closer to that ship?
**[07:13] ---**
Huh?
**[07:14] ---**
We've finally found our savior!
**[07:17] ---**
Michel-sama?
**[07:30] ---**
Let's see now, where's the treasure?
**[07:42] ---**
Oh, there are people aboard.
**[07:46] ---**
You are the captain, right?
**[07:48] ---**
Forgive me for not recognizing you!
Your tactics, your strategy!
**[07:51] ---**
What kind of ship is that?
**[07:53] ---**
What is your objective? No,
let me start with asking who you are!
**[07:57] ---**
Who are you?
**[08:01] ---**
How rude of me. My name is
Michel Volban, of the People's Army.
**[08:06] ---**
Ah! Is it really Michel Volban?
**[08:09] ---**
Oh, the People's Army, huh? What's that?
**[08:13] ---**
An antiestablishment movement
that has been on the rise lately.
**[08:16] ---**
But Michel Volban here is
a sort of symbol to them.
**[08:21] ---**
Oh, yeah? Nice going there.
**[08:24] ---**
Whatever, just sit here quietly
while we take your fuel.
**[08:30] ---**
Michel-sama, these people are pirates.
**[08:34] ---**
You're going to pay for saying that.
**[08:37] ---**
I'm going to take this one!
**[08:40] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[08:42] ---**
Then I'm going to take this girlie!
**[08:47] ---**
You ruffian!
**[08:49] ---**
You'd be better off not defying us.
**[08:51] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[08:52] ---**
Stop!
**[08:54] ---**
Have you no shame?
**[08:57] ---**
Who, me?
**[08:58] ---**
Or did you mean yourself?
**[09:13] ---**
Vetti-sama, do you like roses the best?
**[09:16] ---**
How about you, Ralph?
**[09:19] ---**
Hmm... I do think they are pretty,
but I hate their thorns.
**[09:25] ---**
Is that right?
**[09:31] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[09:33] ---**
Pain is something
that accompanies affection.
**[09:37] ---**
I'm not sure I understand.
**[09:40] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[09:43] ---**
We've received a report
from Baron Maconnais.
**[09:46] ---**
He let Michel get away, didn't he?
**[09:48] ---**
Huh?
**[09:49] ---**
Those who fail us...
**[09:52] ---**
...must be punished.
**[10:08] ---**
We're done.
**[10:11] ---**
They were out of soleil, though.
**[10:14] ---**
Ha! You've been drinking!
**[10:16] ---**
Don't be absurd!
I just had a little taste.
**[10:19] ---**
Oh! That's a '64 Bardeaux!
**[10:23] ---**
What savages!
**[10:31] ---**
Farewell, people. Farewell forever.
**[10:34] ---**
If we ever do meet again,
we can exchange smiles.
**[10:39] ---**
Well, bye-bye!
**[10:46] ---**
Wait!
**[10:51] ---**
You're going to take us with you.
**[10:54] ---**
Are you going to throw us a banquet?
**[10:57] ---**
Let's do that!
**[10:59] ---**
You keep quiet, boozer!
**[11:01] ---**
Now that you have rescued us,
**[11:03] ---**
you should see your duty
through to the end.
**[11:05] ---**
We weren't trying to rescue you.
**[11:08] ---**
If you leave us here, and we are
found by the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[11:12] ---**
we will all be put to death!
**[11:14] ---**
I'm very sorry to hear that.
**[11:17] ---**
If it's treasure you want,
**[11:19] ---**
then you'll receive a huge reward
for turning me over to the People's Army.
**[11:23] ---**
That sounds good, doesn't it? Supplies will
be easy to come by from the People's Army.
**[11:28] ---**
I second that!
**[11:29] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[11:32] ---**
...I hold to only putting
what I like in my pocket.
**[11:40] ---**
Then kill me right here and now!
**[11:48] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[11:48] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[11:59] ---**
Hmph. Either take up the sword,
or take me, is that it?
**[12:09] ---**
The wind weeps.
**[12:18] ---**
We took intensive return fire
from the People's Army fleet,
**[12:21] ---**
but under the power of the great
Holy Emperor, we overcame it.
**[12:25] ---**
But just as we were one step away
from victory, by chance,
**[12:28] ---**
we were assaulted by a bracered,
**[12:30] ---**
and if I do say so myself, we made
every effort we could to withstand it.
**[12:34] ---**
While you were eating supper?
**[12:36] ---**
N- n- not at all!
**[12:38] ---**
What's more, the bracered
didn't come upon you by chance,
**[12:41] ---**
you were drawn into it hook,
line and sinker, right?
**[12:44] ---**
N-No!
**[12:46] ---**
Just before we
apprehended Michel, this time,
**[12:48] ---**
a glass fleet with the crest
of the royal family appeared.
**[12:52] ---**
Oh yeah? So you're calling a
single small ship a great fleet?
**[12:56] ---**
W- well, I...
**[12:58] ---**
I deciphered all
of your codes, you know.
**[13:04] ---**
Convey this to the people:
**[13:06] ---**
Baron Maconnais personally took
responsibility by atoning with his own life.
**[13:11] ---**
P- please forgive me, Your Excellency!
**[13:15] ---**
You should be grateful to me. I am
protecting your honor, after all.
**[13:20] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[13:22] ---**
I gratefully accept your tribute.
**[13:25] ---**
No!! I don't want to be purged!!
**[13:32] ---**
The crest of the royal family, he said?
**[13:36] ---**
It must be a story he fabricated.
He's a disgrace to the nobility.
**[13:42] ---**
What shall we do?
**[13:43] ---**
If there is a rose there, it will bloom.
**[13:46] ---**
Huh?
**[13:46] ---**
Must we investigate
everything immediately?
**[13:50] ---**
Once the snow melts,
it will appear on its own.
**[13:53] ---**
That's what you meant, right, Vetti-sama?
**[13:58] ---**
Ralph, you're so smart.
**[14:01] ---**
As you wish.
**[14:04] ---**
Our fun has been put off again, Michel...
**[14:07] ---**
Someday, I will wholly conquer you,
**[14:10] ---**
as you lie drenched
in tears of humiliation.
**[14:12] ---**
And at the same time, my dreams
of galactic conquest will come true.
**[14:18] ---**
You were just thinking
about Michel, weren't you?
**[14:24] ---**
Vetti-sama,
**[14:26] ---**
I was thinking that Count John Fall
would be the best man
**[14:29] ---**
to send to capture Michel next.
**[14:31] ---**
You're pairing a rose with a beast?
You'll never learn, will you?
**[14:39] ---**
Pope Gorna has arrived!
**[14:50] ---**
My, my...
**[14:51] ---**
for the Pope himself to come in person,
there must be some sort of urgent matter.
**[14:57] ---**
Considering how busy Your Excellency is,
**[15:00] ---**
it is only proper
that I should come to you.
**[15:07] ---**
Have you come to a determination?
**[15:09] ---**
Oh, about what, now?
**[15:14] ---**
I see you enjoy pulling my leg, as usual.
**[15:17] ---**
About taking the vows
with my daughter, Rachel.
**[15:21] ---**
We did speak about that, didn't we?
**[15:24] ---**
She has come of age, and I am
looking forward to your answer today.
**[15:29] ---**
I believe I told you earlier
that it is not yet time.
**[15:34] ---**
Then when will that time be?
**[15:37] ---**
You are aware that a faction
called the People's Army
**[15:40] ---**
is attempting to
overthrow my empire, correct?
**[15:44] ---**
Such things are like an infection. It will
disappear after two or three days of fever.
**[15:50] ---**
The real problem is lovesickness.
**[15:53] ---**
It can be difficult. This fever doesn't
go away after two or three days.
**[15:58] ---**
What are you trying to say?
**[16:01] ---**
Michel Volban. Why are you so
particular about someone like him?
**[16:07] ---**
I wish to pay him back. That's all.
**[16:13] ---**
You've gotten weaker.
**[16:15] ---**
that I must attend to.
**[16:35] ---**
Welcome to our ship!
**[16:38] ---**
W- what is all this?
**[16:41] ---**
We've been an all-male crew
for quite a while, after all.
**[16:45] ---**
My glasses! My glasses!
Where are my glasses?
**[16:48] ---**
There's a lady here too, you know!
**[16:49] ---**
A lady wouldn't slug me.
**[16:52] ---**
I'm a fighting lady! Hey, you!
**[16:55] ---**
Where are you going?
**[16:56] ---**
Cleaning, laundry, dishwashing-
there's lots here for you to do.
**[17:00] ---**
Why should I have to
clean up after you guys?
**[17:04] ---**
Who else is going to prepare meals
for Michel-san if you don't do it?
**[17:07] ---**
W- well...
**[17:13] ---**
Oh, my, you're going to help me?
**[17:29] ---**
Are you certain we
should be joining a group
**[17:31] ---**
with such a questionable background?
**[17:34] ---**
This is unusual-
you offering me your opinion.
**[17:39] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[17:40] ---**
That's okay. But you saw how
they fought, right? And this ship...
**[17:47] ---**
This is precisely what
the People's Army is lacking.
**[17:50] ---**
Still, we know the intentions
of this pirate-like gang.
**[17:55] ---**
Michel-sama, do you really
believe that man to be our savior?
**[18:04] ---**
I'm going to have you guys
repair your ship.
**[18:06] ---**
Out here?!
**[18:08] ---**
There's a suitable place
to do it nearby. Orleans.
**[18:12] ---**
You don't mean you're
going to land on a planet?
**[18:17] ---**
*Life is an opera that goes on forever,*
**[18:22] ---**
*a gorgeous, luxurious banquet,*
**[18:24] ---**
*soleil draped in a manteau,*
**[18:28] ---**
*turning daytime to night.*
**[18:31] ---**
*O night, night when my love is fulfilled,*
**[18:32] ---**
Ah, you're like the
innocent little flower bud.
**[18:35] ---**
*if love is blind, then may this
modest night go on forever.*
**[18:36] ---**
Come with me,
and with the breath of summer,
**[18:38] ---**
let us blossom into beautiful flowers.
**[18:40] ---**
I swear on yonder distant Black Cross
that I will be your love slave until I die,
**[18:42] ---**
*The purest treasure that mankind
can have is an exalted birth and fame.*
**[18:46] ---**
if you will take pity on me,
and allow me this dance.
**[18:50] ---**
*If those were to disappear,
then life would be a mere clump of dirt.*
**[18:50] ---**
This isn't really my style.
**[18:53] ---**
This is how the nobility enjoy themselves.
Come on, let's go further in.
**[18:58] ---**
Wow, would you look over here!
**[18:59] ---**
*May our ball repeat itself every night,
an eternal minuet.*
**[19:00] ---**
Could this be a faerie?
**[19:02] ---**
Or perhaps he is a devil.
**[19:03] ---**
--I know! He's actually the cupid of love!
**[19:04] ---**
--Uh... um...
**[19:08] ---**
*Life is the scent of honey,
a velvet false mole,*
**[19:09] ---**
Ah! Please wait!
**[19:11] ---**
No you don't! We're not
letting you get away!
**[19:15] ---**
*sweet lips, rose perfume,*
**[19:19] ---**
*spending the night singing arias
and spreading gossip.*
**[19:26] ---**
*Life is an opera, an everlasting ball.*
**[19:30] ---**
*And daytime will never come...*
**[19:34] ---**
*...ever again!*
**[20:01] ---**
It's so foolish.
**[20:04] ---**
To have to wear a mask in this world,
full of untruth as it already is,
**[20:08] ---**
and pretend to be someone you're not...
**[20:12] ---**
We were well aware of that when we
came here, weren't we? You and I alike.
**[20:18] ---**
True beauty cannot be hidden,
even behind a mask. That's what I thought.
**[20:24] ---**
You said a moment ago that
this world was full of untruth.
**[20:30] ---**
There are times when untruth
becomes the truth.
**[20:34] ---**
Untruth... becomes truth?
**[20:42] ---**
Ah! Here's where you are!
**[20:45] ---**
Oh, dear, he's found me already.
**[20:49] ---**
Well, if you'll excuse me...
**[20:53] ---**
Geez, I've been looking all over for you.
**[21:02] ---**
If you're going to be
playing with fire like this,
**[21:05] ---**
are you sure you should be going forward
with talks to marry Pope Gorna's daughter?
**[21:09] ---**
My, my, Lord Conrad, does that anger you?
**[21:13] ---**
The power of our Holy Empire
is already absolute.
**[21:17] ---**
There's no reason to involve
the Cross-Star religion at this point.
**[21:20] ---**
No, power alone is not enough.
**[21:23] ---**
In order to completely control the galaxy,
**[21:25] ---**
the masses must also
pay their respect to us.
**[21:28] ---**
To that end, I'm saying it might be best
if I took the crown upon myself
**[21:32] ---**
as the first Holy Emperor.
**[21:35] ---**
Ridiculous. They may have a military
that was trained since childhood,
**[21:38] ---**
but they are a cowardly bunch, who are
very reluctant to get their hands dirty.
**[21:42] ---**
If blood is shed, we will only
incur the hostility of the people.
**[21:46] ---**
Well then, what to do?
**[21:54] ---**
I will go and ask for an answer.
**[22:10] ---**
Are you really that opposed
to landing on a planet?
**[22:13] ---**
No, but there was one thing
that I wanted to ask you.
**[22:16] ---**
Hurry up and ask it.
**[22:19] ---**
Why does this ship bear
the crest of the royal family?
**[22:22] ---**
Because I carry the
blood of the royal family.
**[22:25] ---**
You?
**[22:26] ---**
Is that so strange?
**[22:29] ---**
The royal family was supposed to have
been wiped out over 20 years ago.
**[22:32] ---**
Which is why I'm going to restore it.
**[22:34] ---**
Restore it how?
**[22:36] ---**
Isn't it obvious? I'm going
to take over everything.
**[22:41] ---**
But what can you do with just one ship?
**[22:45] ---**
Good question. For now, I'm going
to win, and win, and win again.
**[22:49] ---**
In time, whoever is strongest
will come forward.
**[22:52] ---**
Once I defeat him, I will be in charge.
**[22:55] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[22:57] ---**
Hey, would you stop
calling me "you" already?
**[23:00] ---**
That's because you
won't tell me your name!
**[23:04] ---**
That was rude of me.
**[23:06] ---**
Remember this. My name is...
**[23:11] ---**
Cleo of the Wind.
**[23:14] ---**
"Like the Wind"
**[23:23] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[23:29] ---**
*as we exchange farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[23:34] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[23:40] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[23:46] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[23:49] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[23:55] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[24:00] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[24:06] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[24:12] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[24:17] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[24:23] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[24:28] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[24:34] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[24:50] ---**
The gears of destiny go into motion
on the garbage heap of a planet Orleans.
**[24:54] ---**
What is the meaning of the future
that the prophet tells of?
**[24:57] ---**
Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like Destiny"
**[25:00] ---**

**[00:19] ---**
The darkness of space...
**[00:21] ---**
Not a single beam of light comes out of it.
**[00:26] ---**
There is nothing but the long gloominess
of night that extends over these skies.
**[00:32] ---**
But sometimes, light does stab
through the murky darkness of space.
**[00:37] ---**
Is it sweet enticement
from the land of the dead?
**[00:41] ---**
Or is it the light of hope?
**[00:59] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:06] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:13] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:20] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:27] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:29] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:31] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:32] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:35] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:42] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:49] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:55] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:17] ---**
Sandwiches and snacks and... oh, yeah!
**[02:20] ---**
Vetti-sama, should we take
some wine with us, too?
**[02:22] ---**
Looks like you're
enjoying yourself, huh Ralph?
**[02:24] ---**
It's been a long time since
the two of us went out, after all.
**[02:27] ---**
But are you sure we should be going?
**[02:30] ---**
It'll be fine. And I'm in no mood to be
heading up a bunch of fleet redeployments.
**[02:36] ---**
Right!
**[02:45] ---**
Say, Vetti-sama, do you believe in love?
**[02:51] ---**
The only thing I believe in is destiny.
**[02:55] ---**
Destiny?
**[02:57] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:59] ---**
Wow, I wouldn't have thought that
you believe in destiny, Vetti-sama.
**[03:04] ---**
Listen...
**[03:06] ---**
If I want something badly enough,
**[03:08] ---**
the whole of the universe
will help me out.
**[03:11] ---**
But I cannot mistake
the path I must go down.
**[03:15] ---**
The path I must go down is shining.
**[03:18] ---**
I just have to keep following
my destiny through to the end.
**[03:24] ---**
A shining... path?
**[03:47] ---**
No! Our souls will become tainted!
**[03:50] ---**
--Altitude 19,000... 18,000... 17,000...
**[03:50] ---**
--Let me off! I don't want
to go to any planet! No!
**[03:55] ---**
--Calm down! Calm down, Sylua!
**[03:57] ---**
Planets are unclean lands,
swirling with hatred!
**[04:00] ---**
Michel-sama, aren't you bothered by this?!
**[04:02] ---**
How old-fashioned.
**[04:05] ---**
Fussing about it now won't do any good.
**[04:08] ---**
Look at Pops over there.
Looks like he has resigned himself.
**[04:14] ---**
Grandpapa...
**[04:19] ---**
Black Cross! Please forgive my sins!
**[04:22] ---**
And please purify my body,
which is about to become sullied!
**[04:26] ---**
What is the Black Cross, soap?
**[04:58] ---**
Yahoo!
**[05:06] ---**
Michel-sama, you mustn't!
**[05:08] ---**
We beg you, please don't!
**[05:11] ---**
It's all right. You guys wait here.
**[05:16] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[05:16] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[05:17] ---**
Well? How does it feel,
having your soul tainted?
**[05:21] ---**
Oh, I feel as fine as you do.
**[05:36] ---**
Even if we die by the side
of the road in this land,
**[05:39] ---**
Michel-sama, we will accompany you.
**[05:41] ---**
Thanks, guys.
**[05:42] ---**
How highfaluting.
**[05:46] ---**
It's Cleo...
**[05:47] ---**
Cleo is here...
**[05:48] ---**
He's here...
**[05:50] ---**
It's Cleo...
**[05:56] ---**
Look, can't you do something
about your clothes?
**[06:00] ---**
What about them?
What's wrong with this outfit?
**[06:03] ---**
I like it, but it's dangerous for
nobility to be walking around out here.
**[06:08] ---**
There, you see? The wolves have
been watching you for a while now.
**[06:14] ---**
This planet has always been used as
an eminent domain for political offenders.
**[06:20] ---**
It's a stomping ground
for dangerous wanted men
**[06:23] ---**
who would be put to death
if they were ever caught.
**[06:28] ---**
In other words, this planet is a trash heap.
**[06:34] ---**
That reminds me, about my ship...
**[06:36] ---**
Your ship? By ship,
do you mean that thing?
**[06:42] ---**
What?!
**[06:44] ---**
Yeah, as huge as it was,
I'm guessing it fetched a good price.
**[06:49] ---**
You sold it?!
**[06:50] ---**
Huh? Nobody told you?
**[06:53] ---**
Michel-sama...
**[06:55] ---**
Cleo! That was his plan
from the beginning!
**[06:59] ---**
Come back safely.
**[07:06] ---**
Cleo!
**[07:17] ---**
Say, Vetti-sama, are you really
going to marry Pope Gorna's daughter?
**[07:22] ---**
Are you against it, Ralph?
**[07:24] ---**
Of course I am! I'm sure
she's ugly, like this.
**[07:28] ---**
According to the tenets
of the Cross-Star religion,
**[07:30] ---**
girls must wear a mask
until they are 18 years old,
**[07:33] ---**
and they are not supposed to
show their faces to anyone.
**[07:36] ---**
I know that. But she's Gorna's daughter.
**[07:40] ---**
Vetti-sama, you've heard
the stories, haven't you?
**[07:43] ---**
The bride from hell...
**[07:45] ---**
They say that any man who comes near
that girl ends up floating in the river.
**[07:50] ---**
Vetti-sama, you'd be rubbed out too.
**[07:54] ---**
In that case, I have to see her now.
**[07:59] ---**
Now, cut that out, Vetti-sama.
**[08:05] ---**
I'm in a foul mood right now.
**[08:08] ---**
You're going to get hurt.
**[08:23] ---**
Next time, there will be blood.
**[08:36] ---**
Cleo!
**[08:51] ---**
Why have you sold me out?!
**[08:52] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:54] ---**
You accepted money, didn't you?!
**[08:56] ---**
Oh, that?
**[08:59] ---**
Hold it!
**[09:02] ---**
Just how despicable
are you and your men?!
**[09:05] ---**
Now that you've set foot
on my ship, you'll follow me.
**[09:08] ---**
It's not up to you!
**[09:10] ---**
I told you, I only put things
that I like into my pocket.
**[09:14] ---**
Is that why you sold me out?!
**[09:17] ---**
Don't get me wrong.
**[09:19] ---**
Once I put something into my pocket,
I protect it, no matter what.
**[09:23] ---**
No matter what.
**[09:25] ---**
If you don't like it, then get lost now.
**[09:28] ---**
Where are you going?!
**[09:37] ---**
I'm going, too.
**[09:38] ---**
Huh?
**[09:39] ---**
Captain's escort.
**[10:15] ---**
Go back.
**[10:15] ---**
What?!
**[10:17] ---**
It's too much for you.
**[10:27] ---**
What am I doing?
**[10:30] ---**
I need to get back as soon as I can
to lead the People's Army in battle.
**[10:36] ---**
And yet, here I am...
**[10:38] ---**
I wonder if the others
got back to base safely.
**[10:49] ---**
I told you to go back!
**[11:06] ---**
Drink some.
**[11:15] ---**
Was that too strong for you?
**[11:17] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
I can handle this fine!
**[11:26] ---**
Yo...
**[11:28] ---**
Is this "People's Army" strong?
**[11:31] ---**
We are fighting for
the liberty of the people.
**[11:34] ---**
--Our strength and such isn't what's-
**[11:35] ---**
--Then, who is the strongest
around right now?
**[11:39] ---**
Myself excluded, of course.
**[11:41] ---**
Don't you know what kind of state
the galaxy is in right now?
**[11:45] ---**
It doesn't interest me.
**[11:52] ---**
That's great. To think that
you're seriously planning
**[11:55] ---**
to take everything over
without knowing that much...
**[11:57] ---**
Well, excuse me.
**[12:00] ---**
That's okay. I'll tell you.
**[12:02] ---**
Keep it brief, okay?
**[12:06] ---**
Once, there were two great forces
in the center of the galaxy
**[12:10] ---**
that clashed over
who was to rule the universe.
**[12:12] ---**
One of them was the
Allied Nobility fleet,
**[12:14] ---**
who had defeated the royal family
and expanded their power.
**[12:18] ---**
The other was the New Allied
Nobility fleet, led by Vetti Sforza,
**[12:24] ---**
a distinguished figure among the nobility.
**[12:26] ---**
A fierce battle with
the fate of the galaxy at stake
**[12:30] ---**
ended with the
New Nobility Fleet victorious.
**[12:33] ---**
After that, Vetti declared
the formation of a new, unified state,
**[12:38] ---**
and took the title of Holy Emperor.
**[12:40] ---**
However, he enacted strict
governmental policies
**[12:43] ---**
centered even more around the nobility,
**[12:45] ---**
and continues to oppress the lives
of the people even more than before.
**[12:48] ---**
Those of us in the People's Army rose up
in order to topple the Vetti regime.
**[12:58] ---**
Cleo, if you're going to
try to claim Vetti's head...
**[13:05] ---**
...what if we were to fight together?
**[13:12] ---**
I don't get it.
**[13:15] ---**
I just don't get it.
**[13:17] ---**
You don't get what?
**[13:18] ---**
You're one of the nobles, aren't you?
**[13:20] ---**
What of it?
**[13:21] ---**
Why are you the head of the People's Army,
out to overthrow the nobles' society?
**[13:26] ---**
The Volbans are the only aristocratic
family to stand up for the people.
**[13:31] ---**
As long as someone has a purpose,
their status does not matter.
**[13:34] ---**
Purpose, huh?
**[13:36] ---**
What's so funny?
**[13:38] ---**
It all seems too neat.
**[13:39] ---**
Too neat?
**[13:41] ---**
It's nonsense. An overprotected youngster
**[13:43] ---**
who can't even climb up
a snowy mountain adequately...
**[13:45] ---**
...throws his hat into the ring,
but in the end
**[13:48] ---**
is just going to establish another
aristocratic society, right?
**[13:50] ---**
How dare you!
**[13:51] ---**
You're just an ignorant provincial boor!
What do you know?!
**[13:55] ---**
You can't see a thing, can you?
**[13:58] ---**
What?!
**[14:00] ---**
I may not know much
about the political world,
**[14:03] ---**
but I can see the substance of things
better than you can.
**[14:06] ---**
You take that back! I will not
permit such an affront toward myself!
**[14:09] ---**
There, you see? You nobles are
more worried about your pride
**[14:12] ---**
than you are of eating three times a day.
**[14:14] ---**
Silence!
**[14:15] ---**
You can feed it to the dogs,
for all I care.
**[14:18] ---**
Why, you...
**[14:25] ---**
Pick it up! I challenge you to a duel!
**[14:29] ---**
Don't do this. You can't beat me.
**[14:32] ---**
I told you to pick it up!
**[14:34] ---**
What choice do I have?
**[14:36] ---**
I'll let you practice on me.
**[14:38] ---**
You unmannered miscreant!
**[14:42] ---**
Do you have any last words?!
**[14:44] ---**
Are you sure you want to
waste time talking to me?
**[14:46] ---**
The fight has already started.
**[15:04] ---**
That's the People's Army for you.
**[15:06] ---**
You run away as well
as the rumors say you do.
**[15:20] ---**
Oh, not bad, huh?
**[15:24] ---**
What was that just now?
I've never seen a form like that.
**[15:29] ---**
Come on.
**[15:47] ---**
What are you trying to pull?!
**[15:48] ---**
Can't you see?
**[15:50] ---**
Can't you see how this will end?
**[15:53] ---**
What did you say?!
**[15:54] ---**
The outcome has been decided.
**[15:56] ---**
Hold it! You dare turn your
back in the middle of a duel?!
**[16:00] ---**
Don't you mock me!
**[16:12] ---**
Well played...
**[16:16] ---**
I am the one who
initiated the duel. Kill me.
**[16:20] ---**
Your agitated emotions
created a momentary opening
**[16:23] ---**
in your otherwise flawless
swordsmanship, that's all.
**[16:33] ---**
Let's go.
**[16:43] ---**
It's letting up.
**[16:48] ---**
We can see it now.
**[16:50] ---**
What is it?
**[16:51] ---**
The prophet Guildy's castle.
**[16:54] ---**
Prophet?
**[17:20] ---**
I've been expecting you.
**[17:34] ---**
--It's okay, just take one sip!
**[17:35] ---**
--Stop it! Stop it!
**[17:38] ---**
Come on, down the hatch!
**[17:39] ---**
Eimer!
**[17:40] ---**
Grandpapa, why does Michel-sama believe
that barbaric man to be our savior?
**[17:45] ---**
You needn't concern
yourself unnecessarily.
**[17:48] ---**
We just need to do as
Michel-sama would have us.
**[17:53] ---**
Sylua, we're hungry!
**[17:56] ---**
Yeah, make us some snacks, would you?
**[17:59] ---**
I'll take hotcakes.
**[18:00] ---**
That sounds good!
**[18:02] ---**
How many times do I have to
tell you?! I am not your maid!
**[18:07] ---**
You're looking the same
as always, old lady.
**[18:10] ---**
Old lady? You mean, this is the prophet?!
**[18:14] ---**
Michel Volban...
**[18:17] ---**
You can't hide anything from this old lady.
**[18:20] ---**
If you're going to confess anything,
now's the time.
**[18:25] ---**
There is nothing to fear,
you who are being buffeted about.
**[18:30] ---**
Buffeted about?
**[18:34] ---**
You are being blown by a fine wind.
Feel out that wind in your life.
**[18:41] ---**
Wind?
**[18:43] ---**
Now, could you hurry and do me?
**[18:46] ---**
Very well. Listen carefully.
**[18:57] ---**
When the end comes,
a two-headed eagle will be born.
**[19:02] ---**
One will be clad in armor of iron,
one shall become a god of love.
**[19:09] ---**
In time, the two will become one,
and thou shalt unite the galaxy.
**[19:17] ---**
Part of me has been waiting for this wind.
**[19:27] ---**
I've been expecting you.
**[20:01] ---**
You're still alive, are you?
**[20:04] ---**
You, too.
**[20:06] ---**
I don't want any trouble. And you
brought a nobleman with you, too...
**[20:11] ---**
You call that a prophecy earlier?
**[20:14] ---**
Don't think about it so seriously.
You need to feel it in your heart.
**[20:20] ---**
The old lady did tell us
one good thing, didn't she?
**[20:24] ---**
She did say I would unite the galaxy.
**[20:32] ---**
Say, what did that prophecy earlier mean?
**[20:36] ---**
Don't you know?
**[20:37] ---**
Not one bit.
**[20:39] ---**
I now see the path I should go down.
**[20:41] ---**
Huh?
**[20:42] ---**
It appears that I am destined
to marry Gorna's daughter.
**[20:46] ---**
But why? I don't want you to do that!
**[20:50] ---**
When the end came,
a two-headed eagle was born.
**[20:54] ---**
One of them, clad in armor of iron, is me.
**[20:57] ---**
The other one is the god of love,
the daughter of Pope Gorna,
**[21:00] ---**
of the Cross-Star religion, Rachel.
**[21:04] ---**
The bride from hell? The one
with the face as ugly as this?
**[21:08] ---**
"In time, the two become one,
and thou shalt unite the galaxy."
**[21:14] ---**
No! No! No! Ralph is
absolutely against this!
**[21:20] ---**
I don't quite understand...
**[21:23] ---**
You will, in time.
**[21:37] ---**
Whoops, sorry.
**[21:46] ---**
I'm terribly sorry. This man
doesn't know aristocratic etiquette.
**[21:54] ---**
"Like Destiny"
**[22:03] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[22:09] ---**
*as we exchange farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[22:14] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:20] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:25] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:29] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:35] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:40] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:46] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:51] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:57] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[23:03] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[23:08] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[23:14] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:30] ---**
Two souls cross their swords vehemently,
as their instincts lead them.
**[23:34] ---**
The destined showdown
signals the beginning.

**[00:21] ---**
That day, the red stars smiled
while maintaining their silence.
**[00:26] ---**
In that snowy land, the rose
was blown in the wind,
**[00:30] ---**
and your meeting changed
both of your destinies.
**[00:33] ---**
The universe, which extends forever
into the future, also has such moments.
**[00:38] ---**
Fleeting encounters that change
the destiny of the galaxy in a flash...
**[00:57] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:04] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:11] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:18] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:25] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:27] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:30] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:33] ---**
*Deeply, deeply,
it's becoming etched in my mind*
**[01:39] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:47] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:53] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:20] ---**
Whoops, sorry.
**[02:27] ---**
I'm terribly sorry. This man
doesn't know aristocratic etiquette.
**[02:56] ---**
Why did you draw?
**[02:58] ---**
Why don't you ask me with your sword?
**[03:00] ---**
My?
**[03:05] ---**
Stand back, you hooligan! This man has
a reason for concealing his status,
**[03:10] ---**
but he is no one that ruffians like you
should be casually exchanging words with!
**[03:14] ---**
Your Excellency, please refrain from this!
**[03:16] ---**
Vetti Sforza!
**[03:21] ---**
Such fortuitous guidance!
I'm so pleased, Michel.
**[03:27] ---**
Every night, whenever the scar
on your back twinges,
**[03:29] ---**
you remember me, don't you?
**[03:31] ---**
Silence!
**[03:35] ---**
So, you're that guy Vetti, huh?
**[03:39] ---**
I hear you're the strongest guy
in the galaxy.
**[03:42] ---**
A bounty hunter, huh?
It's not easy being so famous.
**[03:48] ---**
Relax, that will end today.
**[03:53] ---**
I will avenge my father!
**[03:55] ---**
V- Vetti-sama, quickly!
**[03:58] ---**
Stand aside.
**[04:00] ---**
But...
**[04:01] ---**
You, too.
**[04:02] ---**
But...
**[04:03] ---**
If you interfere, I'll kill you.
**[04:16] ---**
The child says, "I will snap you in half,
little rose that blooms in the field."
**[04:21] ---**
I'm no little rose. I am the wind.
Cleo of the Wind.
**[04:26] ---**
I will remember that name. But...
**[04:31] ---**
...only until you expire.
**[04:34] ---**
The wind scoffs.
**[04:51] ---**
This guy is able.
**[04:54] ---**
He's fast. This is no ordinary stray dog.
**[05:28] ---**
For Vetti-sama to become this worked up...
No! Vetti-sama, look to me!
**[05:56] ---**
Cleo is being driven back!
**[06:13] ---**
Stop! Please stop!
You're smashing up my bar!
**[06:42] ---**
I haven't come up against a swordsman
this fast since Eckardo...
**[06:47] ---**
This guy's swordsmanship
has no form to it!
**[06:56] ---**
Well? How does it feel
to become number two?
**[06:59] ---**
Indeed... You must be peerless
when it comes to swatting flies.
**[07:25] ---**
Cleo is at it again.
**[07:28] ---**
Let me see.
**[07:29] ---**
Nope. It's just getting good.
**[07:33] ---**
But those are mine.
**[07:35] ---**
What belongs to you, Nowy,
belongs to me. Everyone knows that.
**[07:38] ---**
Aw, man...
**[07:42] ---**
My glasses, my glasses! Huh?
**[07:44] ---**
--Here, let me see those.
**[07:44] ---**
--Where are my glasses?
**[07:47] ---**
--What are you doing?!
**[07:47] ---**
--Oh, they're gone! Where did my glasses go?
**[07:49] ---**
--You're right.
**[07:51] ---**
--He's royally going at it!
**[07:52] ---**
--My glasses, my glasses! Huh?
**[08:16] ---**
You're only the second one who has
ever made me unfasten my button.
**[08:21] ---**
Trying to look smooth, are you?
I'll strip you naked, next.
**[08:37] ---**
It looks like you're the one
who will be stripped naked.
**[08:43] ---**
You, like him, will receive my mark.
**[08:55] ---**
Just you wait, Michel. I'm going
to savor my time with you afterward.
**[09:01] ---**
Vetti, you cannot beat Cleo.
**[09:05] ---**
Cleo's swordsmanship
is even better than mine.
**[09:09] ---**
Better than yours?
**[09:11] ---**
Are you saying that this man
has conquered you?!
**[09:16] ---**
In that case, there is no way
I can let you live now.
**[09:20] ---**
Don't you take your eyes off of me!
**[09:26] ---**
You'll pay for this! It was
supposed to be mine alone!
**[09:31] ---**
The conquest of Michel's sword,
which at one time, was only out for me!
**[09:38] ---**
Then again...
**[09:40] ---**
Then again, why is my
heart pounding like this?
**[09:58] ---**
Would you like me to insert you, as well?
**[10:01] ---**
Into my pocket?
**[10:04] ---**
I take back what I said earlier,
Cleo-kun of the Wind.
**[10:08] ---**
I will engrave your name
forever upon my heart.
**[10:20] ---**
Can't you see?
**[10:23] ---**
Can't you see who is going to win?
**[10:34] ---**
I can see. The winner has been decided.
Isn't that what you mean to say?
**[10:46] ---**
If I don't get him in this
next strike... I'm done for...
**[10:51] ---**
This will be my last exchange... Otherwise...
**[11:01] ---**
The next strike will be the decisive one...
**[11:44] ---**
Who...
**[11:47] ---**
...are you?
**[11:54] ---**
Cleo!
**[11:56] ---**
W- what was that just now?
**[12:00] ---**
Cleo! Get up!
**[12:02] ---**
Hey, Cleo, are you all right?!
**[12:13] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[12:14] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[12:15] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[12:17] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[12:18] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[12:20] ---**
I'm not done... I still
have to finish him off-
**[12:26] ---**
Just carry him aboard, quickly!
I will assume responsibility!
**[12:30] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[12:33] ---**
Wait! Are you running away from me?!
**[12:37] ---**
You idiot! We're the ones
who should be running away!
**[13:01] ---**
O- oh, no! Michel-sama!
**[13:04] ---**
How can this happen?!
**[13:08] ---**
Sylua, hurry!
**[13:11] ---**
Right.
**[13:15] ---**
--R- Ralph-sama...
**[13:16] ---**
--How dare you! How dare you!
**[13:27] ---**
You should hurry and get out of here, too!
You'll die if you stay here!
**[13:35] ---**
S- stay back! You're cursed!
**[13:55] ---**
I can't let you die here!
**[14:00] ---**
Snap to! Does your wind stop blowing
over something as minor as this?!
**[14:18] ---**
Oh, no...
**[14:28] ---**
This way!
**[14:30] ---**
What are you planning to do?!
**[14:32] ---**
Jump!
**[14:33] ---**
What?!
**[14:36] ---**
Die!
**[14:51] ---**
Was that... a glass battleship?!
**[14:56] ---**
Nice catch!
**[14:57] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:58] ---**
We've safely taken both of them aboard.
**[15:01] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[15:01] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[15:03] ---**
After that ship! Don't let it get away!
**[15:06] ---**
Vetti-sama, no!
**[15:09] ---**
That's the ship that defeated
Maconnais' flagship with one blow!
**[15:13] ---**
Let's get out of here!
**[15:15] ---**
No! We settle this here and now!
**[15:18] ---**
But are you sure you can?
**[15:21] ---**
Yeah, let's give it a shot.
**[15:23] ---**
You're too slow! Your ass is mine!
**[15:34] ---**
Starboard impact. No damage.
**[15:38] ---**
Don't sell the royal family's
secret technologies short!
**[15:51] ---**
They're keeping themselves
in our blind spot!
**[16:02] ---**
Bring us out of the ravine.
**[16:03] ---**
You got it!
**[16:07] ---**
Cease fire! After them!
**[16:19] ---**
A frozen lake?
**[16:20] ---**
Take us down.
**[16:22] ---**
Roger! Sheesh, it sure is
easy giving the orders, huh?
**[16:26] ---**
What are you planning to do?
**[16:28] ---**
Just keep quiet and watch.
**[16:32] ---**
Everyone, brace for impact.
**[16:43] ---**
Full salvo!
**[16:46] ---**
Swing us around!
**[16:48] ---**
Swinging around!
**[16:57] ---**
No way!
**[16:59] ---**
Salvo!
**[17:08] ---**
Go!
**[17:18] ---**
Let's get out of here, Vetti-sama!
**[17:21] ---**
Quick-turn!
**[17:25] ---**
Pierce their heart.
**[17:27] ---**
All righty! Engaging soleil turbines!
**[17:34] ---**
Analyzing soleil location...
**[17:40] ---**
Loading coordinates! Take this!
**[17:48] ---**
The royal family crest...
**[17:50] ---**
Changeover!
**[18:17] ---**
They're coming right at us!
Just like they did with Maconnais!
**[18:21] ---**
Ready anchor!
**[18:29] ---**
W- we're going to hit them!
**[18:31] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[18:35] ---**
Fire!
**[18:40] ---**
What?!
**[18:56] ---**
Circle around 180°!
**[18:58] ---**
Come about 180°!
**[19:00] ---**
That's crazy! We mustn't go any further!
**[19:05] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[19:13] ---**
Reinforcements?!
**[19:14] ---**
It's coming from outside the atmosphere.
**[19:20] ---**
Your Excellency, allow me,
John Fall, to come to your assistance.
**[19:26] ---**
He made it in time!
Vetti-sama, Count John Fall is-
**[19:30] ---**
Send them away!
**[19:32] ---**
I still haven't settled this with him...
**[19:36] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[19:39] ---**
Still... I'm sorry...
**[19:43] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[19:48] ---**
What have you done?!
**[19:54] ---**
You keep out of this!
**[19:57] ---**
You mustn't duel...
Please value your own life!
**[20:14] ---**
Code deciphered.
**[20:16] ---**
A fleet of ten ships in circular formation.
**[20:18] ---**
What do we do?
**[20:19] ---**
Don't go after him!
We have to get out of here, too!
**[20:25] ---**
Emergency ascent!
**[20:34] ---**
You will be 18 soon.
Following your coming-of-age ceremony,
**[20:40] ---**
we must move forward with specific talks
for your exchange of vows.
**[20:47] ---**
However, there are few men
worthy to wed you,
**[20:51] ---**
the daughter of the pope
of the Cross-Star religion.
**[20:56] ---**
Vetti Sforza, the man who
proclaims himself Holy Emperor,
**[21:01] ---**
and is attempting to unify the galaxy...
**[21:05] ---**
What do you think? Conrad has
also been sounding me out about him.
**[21:12] ---**
Father...
**[21:14] ---**
I must decline such a proposal.
**[21:18] ---**
What?
**[21:29] ---**
Why did I suddenly draw on him back then?
**[21:36] ---**
Just what was it that provoked me earlier?
**[21:41] ---**
The child says, "I will snap you in half,
little rose that blooms in the field."
**[21:47] ---**
The little rose replies, "I will prick you,
so that you will never forget me."
**[21:54] ---**
"Like Scars"
**[22:03] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[22:09] ---**
*as we exchange farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[22:14] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:20] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:25] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:29] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:35] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:40] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:46] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:51] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:57] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[23:03] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[23:08] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[23:14] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:30] ---**
When the wasteland known as
ambition is filled with false love,
**[23:33] ---**
just how many personas does a person
take upon themselves within their heart?
**[23:37] ---**
Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like a Mask"

**[00:17] ---**
Somebody once said that
when people die, they become stars.
**[00:23] ---**
If that is true, does it mean that
the twinkling of so many shining stars...
**[00:27] ---**
...is the twinkling of the lives of those
who lived to their fullest,
**[00:31] ---**
and then passed away?
**[00:35] ---**
Swallowing up lives one by one,
we continue to fight.
**[00:40] ---**
People meet, people part.
**[00:43] ---**
They have pasts,
and presents, and futures.
**[00:48] ---**
There are moments in their lives
that shine brighter and stronger
**[00:52] ---**
than the twinkling of stars.
**[00:54] ---**
That is certain.
**[01:07] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:14] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:21] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:28] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:35] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:37] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:39] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:40] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:43] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:49] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:57] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[02:03] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:45] ---**
There's an enemy fleet out there.
**[02:47] ---**
I can see that for myself.
**[02:50] ---**
Charge them.
**[02:51] ---**
Okay! Hang on to something,
or you'll fall down!
**[02:55] ---**
Michel-sama's belongings!
**[02:57] ---**
Mm-hmm. Michel-sama, if you'll
excuse us for a moment...
**[03:05] ---**
Did you need something?
**[03:07] ---**
All righty, off we go!
**[03:20] ---**
Excellency sir,
**[03:22] ---**
the Holy Emperor's vessel has completed
a safe withdrawal from the area of battle.
**[03:28] ---**
Enemy ship approaching.
**[03:29] ---**
It is evading all of our fleet's attacks!
It has unbelievable maneuverability!
**[03:34] ---**
Fire. Shoot it down. Blow them up!
**[03:38] ---**
Unthrift is exquisite.
Stinginess is a sin.
**[03:41] ---**
Unspent rounds are an embarrassment.
**[03:43] ---**
Forgive me for saying so, Excellency sir,
**[03:46] ---**
but according to Ralph-sama's intelligence,
the leader of the People's Army,
**[03:51] ---**
Michel Volban, is hiding
aboard that enemy ship.
**[03:53] ---**
His Highness the Holy Emperor's orders
were to capture Volban.
**[03:57] ---**
I do not believe we should be
shooting the enemy ship down.
**[04:01] ---**
You are quite a capable little girl.
**[04:04] ---**
Well then, ourselves and our consort ships
will surround the enemy vessel
**[04:07] ---**
while continuing to fire,
**[04:08] ---**
then board their ship
and take Volban into custody.
**[04:11] ---**
Once the boarding party returns,
we will shoot down the enemy ship.
**[04:14] ---**
How does that sound?
**[04:15] ---**
See to it.
**[04:17] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[04:18] ---**
Enemy ship within range of main batteries.
**[04:21] ---**
All ships, open fire!
**[04:31] ---**
I can't stand it!
**[04:33] ---**
The soleil is fine form! Sometimes you
have to get a little crazy like this!
**[04:38] ---**
Cut through them.
**[04:39] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:41] ---**
You're not withdrawing?!
**[04:42] ---**
You must be joking.
They interrupted my fight.
**[05:05] ---**
What fools those guys are!
**[05:08] ---**
A fleet of ten ships...
without firing a single shot...
**[05:11] ---**
1st, 5th, and 8th ships are inoperable.
**[05:14] ---**
All systems on the flagship are down.
**[05:16] ---**
Our attacks are unable to
home in on the enemy ship!
**[05:20] ---**
All right, all right, do not balk.
It is our own fault for being hit.
**[05:25] ---**
Forgive me for saying so,
**[05:28] ---**
but we do not have a ship in our fleet
**[05:29] ---**
with the maneuverability
of the enemy battleship.
**[05:32] ---**
In that case, we can always
power-up the soleil.
**[05:36] ---**
Forgive me for saying so,
but our ship is already inoperable.
**[05:46] ---**
The 2nd ship is inoperable.
**[05:47] ---**
It's too dangerous to remain
any longer! We must escape!
**[05:50] ---**
Enemy ship is directly above us.
**[05:55] ---**
Let's do it, shall we?
**[05:56] ---**
Don't sell the royal
family's secret technologies short!
**[06:15] ---**
The glass battleship is too daunting!
**[06:18] ---**
We cannot go on. We are withdrawing.
**[06:31] ---**
Take that!
**[06:38] ---**
That felt great, huh?
**[06:40] ---**
Yes, well done!
**[06:44] ---**
That hits the spot!
**[06:46] ---**
My glasses... my glasses...
**[06:52] ---**
Are you all right?
**[06:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:01] ---**
He's in a bad mood, huh?
**[07:21] ---**
Oh, Excellency,
thank goodness you are safe!
**[07:24] ---**
Are you all right? We have
a doctor standing by.
**[07:28] ---**
He can examine you right away.
**[07:30] ---**
No need.
**[07:31] ---**
But Excellency,
**[07:32] ---**
I'm afraid that having the Holy Emperor
going to such a trash heap of a planet,
**[07:37] ---**
and then engaging in a duel there
has us concerned about your health-
**[07:41] ---**
You talk too much!
**[07:43] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:44] ---**
Ralph, you are not fulfilling
your role as imperial guard.
**[07:48] ---**
This is what happens when you run off to
some dustbin of a planet without our leave.
**[08:08] ---**
We just received a report
from Count John Fall.
**[08:12] ---**
Do not talk about work!
Vetti-sama needs his rest!
**[08:17] ---**
What did the Count say?
**[08:19] ---**
He was unable to carry out
Your Excellency's orders,
**[08:22] ---**
and was forced to retreat.
**[08:24] ---**
The shock was so great that he apparently
took to his bed. Hmph, truly pathetic.
**[08:29] ---**
He carries a heavy burden,
**[08:31] ---**
particularly so as long
as Michel is with him.
**[08:34] ---**
"He"?
**[08:36] ---**
A scoundrel, by the name of Cleo.
**[08:38] ---**
The one with the glass battleship
that drove back Maconnais.
**[08:43] ---**
I am going to disperse that wind someday.
**[08:46] ---**
Forget about that guy, already.
**[08:50] ---**
There is one other thing.
**[08:51] ---**
We received a reply from Pope Gorna.
**[08:56] ---**
Unfortunately,
**[08:58] ---**
although Pope Gorna has
gladly given his approval,
**[09:02] ---**
I regret to inform you that
Rachel-sama said she declines.
**[09:05] ---**
Indeed, it is the height of disrespect!
**[09:08] ---**
The princess just doesn't
know the kind of man I am.
**[09:18] ---**
Keep moving forward
the talks with Pope Gorna.
**[09:21] ---**
But what about Rachel-sama?
**[09:25] ---**
This princess is sure to fall for me.
**[09:28] ---**
Say, let's go to the bedroom.
**[09:30] ---**
Tonight, Vetti-sama, on a bed
of your favorite scarlet roses,
**[09:34] ---**
I will wash away the impurity
of that planet for you.
**[09:37] ---**
Let's sleep, and forget about everything.
**[09:40] ---**
I'd like to hear your opinions
on what the oracle on Orleans said.
**[09:45] ---**
--Yes, sir.
**[09:45] ---**
--Yes, sir.
**[09:49] ---**
Vetti-sama, you can sleep alone tonight!
**[09:53] ---**
Ralph...
**[09:54] ---**
Yes, Vetti-sama?
**[09:57] ---**
Find out what you can about Cleo.
**[10:12] ---**
I'm sorry, Michel-sama.
**[10:13] ---**
We were unable to preserve
your precious teacups.
**[10:17] ---**
Don't worry about it, Sylua.
**[10:21] ---**
It smells good today, huh?
**[10:23] ---**
Yes, I tried adding a little
vervain to the chamomile.
**[10:29] ---**
Things have been so hectic.
**[10:31] ---**
Ever since we've come here,
Jean has seemed to be quite indignant.
**[10:35] ---**
Yes. He doesn't like Cleo-san, after all.
**[10:38] ---**
I've said nothing of the sort.
**[10:40] ---**
It's okay, I know. It's just that
after seeing how he fought earlier,
**[10:45] ---**
I would hate to have to part with
the fighting spirit that this bunch has.
**[10:49] ---**
Do you think so? There's no way
that a gang like Cleo-san's...
**[10:53] ---**
...could understand the
significance of the People's Army.
**[10:56] ---**
They make me want to hurry
back to Cavell territory
**[10:58] ---**
and disinfect myself
right down to my bones.
**[11:01] ---**
If I might be so bold,
I do not feel at ease either.
**[11:04] ---**
When I think of the bad influence that man
might bring upon you, Michel-sama...
**[11:10] ---**
Cut it out!
**[11:14] ---**
Oh, so this is where you are?
**[11:16] ---**
Yeah, we've helped ourselves.
**[11:19] ---**
Say, what's that you're drinking?
**[11:25] ---**
What is this?! Do you aristocrats drink
this nasty stuff to be pretentious?
**[11:30] ---**
My, how rude!
**[11:32] ---**
Well, I guess it's okay.
I just kissed Michel indirectly!
**[11:37] ---**
I'm going to have to disinfect again.
**[11:40] ---**
You sure seem to say
whatever you feel like.
**[11:43] ---**
Are you aristocrats trying to say
that we're like garbage and germs?
**[11:48] ---**
You don't like the nobility?
**[11:51] ---**
There's an interesting story
about the nobility.
**[11:54] ---**
Do you know about the Robron Egg?
**[11:56] ---**
Yeah, it was the most highly classified
code of the Allied Nobility, right?
**[12:00] ---**
Yes, it was said to be a code that
was absolutely impossible to break,
**[12:05] ---**
and yet I heard that it
was broken by someone.
**[12:08] ---**
As such, the Allied Nobility's
intelligence was exposed,
**[12:10] ---**
which was one of the factors behind
the Holy Emperor's force's victory.
**[12:14] ---**
That boy is the one who deciphered it.
**[12:19] ---**
As a result, he's on the wanted list.
**[12:22] ---**
What about you, Eimer?
**[12:24] ---**
What about me?
**[12:26] ---**
You're the one who's Queen of the Slums.
**[12:29] ---**
Queen?
**[12:31] ---**
There are all kinds of women. Right?
**[12:34] ---**
There are not!
**[12:35] ---**
Badat and Heizak are
unusual folks, themselves.
**[12:39] ---**
There's a story, and I don't
know if it's true or not,
**[12:42] ---**
that Heizak raided the Cross-Star religion
with homemade weapons.
**[12:47] ---**
Badat says that he was once the legendary
hero Admiral Gawain's flagship captain.
**[12:52] ---**
Oh, Admiral Gawain, huh?
**[12:55] ---**
Badat is just boasting.
**[12:57] ---**
Still, Cleo is something else.
**[12:59] ---**
I'm impressed that he put together
such an idiosyncratic crew.
**[13:03] ---**
He didn't put us together.
We all just follow him on our own.
**[13:08] ---**
On your own? A dangerous man
such as that?
**[13:11] ---**
What is so attractive about that man?
**[13:14] ---**
How happy-go-lucky!
**[13:16] ---**
In other words, the crew of this ship
are all wanted men, are they not?
**[13:22] ---**
We are wanted men, ourselves.
**[13:27] ---**
Eimer, what do you know about Cleo?
**[13:32] ---**
You want to know?
**[13:34] ---**
Oh, no...
**[13:35] ---**
Liar. We don't know about him, either.
He doesn't talk about himself.
**[13:43] ---**
We get on on our own,
and we get off on our own.
**[13:45] ---**
Even if one of us were to get off,
it wouldn't concern Cleo.
**[14:15] ---**
Who is it?
**[14:16] ---**
It's Michel. I'd like to speak with you.
**[14:20] ---**
Cleo?
**[14:22] ---**
Come in.
**[14:31] ---**
Does it hurt?
**[14:34] ---**
You should get off.
**[14:36] ---**
What?
**[14:38] ---**
Go on back to the People's Army
on your own.
**[14:40] ---**
You promised to take me with you.
**[14:45] ---**
I don't remember making that promise.
**[14:48] ---**
You're planning on going after Vetti, huh?
**[14:51] ---**
He's waiting for me, too.
I can't go on like this one bit.
**[14:55] ---**
You're just like a little child.
**[14:57] ---**
That's what it is to be a man.
Are you any different?
**[15:05] ---**
I'm the one he's after. If I
make a move, he'll make one, too.
**[15:10] ---**
He will present an opportunity
for you to settle things between you,
**[15:13] ---**
without you having to move
around vainly. How does that sound?
**[15:16] ---**
I should warn you, you won't be
anything to me except for a lure.
**[15:21] ---**
Don't you speak out against
anything I do on the battlefield.
**[15:24] ---**
I don't care what you might do.
**[15:26] ---**
There's only one thing for you
to do on the battlefield.
**[15:29] ---**
This is your ship. You're the one
who determines which way the wind blows.
**[15:42] ---**
Deal.
**[15:50] ---**
Sorry to intrude. Get better soon.
**[15:57] ---**
That settles which course to set.
**[16:00] ---**
We've already started heading
that way, while you were asleep.
**[16:41] ---**
Did I wake you?
**[16:43] ---**
No. I couldn't sleep without you
by my side, Vetti-sama.
**[16:48] ---**
Come here.
**[16:49] ---**
Okay.
**[16:51] ---**
I'm composing a poem.
**[16:53] ---**
For that masked woman?
**[16:55] ---**
You're feeling jealous over nothing.
**[16:59] ---**
I'm sorry. I won't be jealous anymore.
**[17:03] ---**
Even if I do take a bride, my heart
will still be together with you.
**[17:08] ---**
Right.
**[17:09] ---**
This marriage will secure a firm
power for the Holy Emperor.
**[17:15] ---**
Nothing more, nothing less.
There will be no love in it.
**[17:21] ---**
Say, what kind of poem is it?
**[17:24] ---**
Good question.
**[17:27] ---**
"My beloved, with face unknown
to me, I had a dream about you."
**[17:31] ---**
"In my dream, your face is still
unknown to me, yet I know who you are."
**[17:37] ---**
"Your silken voice, your willowy fingers,
your limpid skin take hold of me,"
**[17:44] ---**
"and won't let me go."
**[17:45] ---**
"Ah, your eyes beckon to me
from behind that mask."
**[17:49] ---**
"Someday, may we wander
together through this dream."
**[17:59] ---**
Liar.
**[18:01] ---**
There is nothing more
simple and meaningless
**[18:03] ---**
than spinning together words of love.
**[18:24] ---**
Deliver this for me.
Address it to the Cross-Star religion.
**[18:33] ---**
We will be arriving at
John Fall Territory momentarily.
**[18:51] ---**
Excellency sir...
**[18:54] ---**
Commander Kaz,
**[18:56] ---**
under His Excellency Vetti's command,
along with his doll platoon,
**[18:59] ---**
are here to pay their respects
upon arriving at their post here.
**[19:02] ---**
We are positively delighted to have
been appointed to Your Excellency,
**[19:05] ---**
Count John Fall.
**[19:07] ---**
Having been ordered by His Excellency,
Holy Emperor Vetti,
**[19:10] ---**
to serve the Count to the fullest,
**[19:13] ---**
I, Kaz, and my doll platoon
have arrived with all due haste.
**[19:17] ---**
You must have had a long and
difficult journey, Commander Kaz.
**[19:22] ---**
Your dolls are as curious
as I have been told.
**[19:24] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:26] ---**
However, Your Excellency's daughters
are indeed beautiful, as well.
**[19:30] ---**
Yes, I'm proud of my girls. As diligently
well-mannered as flowers and butterflies,
**[19:35] ---**
they daily seek out the beauty that
ordinary soldiers do not possess.
**[19:41] ---**
However, Kaz-dono,
**[19:42] ---**
I would ask you not to make any
unwanted advances towards my daughters.
**[19:47] ---**
You need not be concerned. My doll
platoon is both human, and not human.
**[19:52] ---**
They are literally living dolls,
who act only as they are ordered to.
**[19:55] ---**
You may be assured that we will
be successful in capturing Michel.
**[19:59] ---**
So, what is your strategy?
**[20:02] ---**
I will be dressing up my dolls.
**[20:11] ---**
Hey...
**[20:14] ---**
Don't forget my reward when
we reach Cavell Territory.
**[20:17] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[20:20] ---**
I'm getting a distress signal.
**[20:22] ---**
What ship is it coming from?
**[20:23] ---**
It's not an imperial vessel.
It's a freighter.
**[20:27] ---**
A freighter, huh?
**[20:29] ---**
What do we do, Cleo?
**[20:31] ---**
What choice do we have? We help them.
**[20:34] ---**
You guys?
**[20:36] ---**
Excuse me?
**[20:38] ---**
Oh, nothing...
**[21:09] ---**
This is a mess.
**[21:12] ---**
You there!
**[21:14] ---**
Thank you! You've come
to rescue us, right?
**[21:17] ---**
Survivors!
**[21:20] ---**
We were caught in the middle of a battle,
and got hit by stray fire.
**[21:24] ---**
We still have many
more that are wounded.
**[21:26] ---**
Could we have them treated
aboard your ship?
**[21:29] ---**
What are you transporting?
**[21:31] ---**
I have expenses. You'll have to
share some of your goods with me.
**[21:36] ---**
Oh, yeah, you got it.
**[21:47] ---**
Are you all right?
**[21:50] ---**
Thanks.
**[21:54] ---**
Brother!
**[21:54] ---**
"Like a Mask"
**[22:03] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[22:09] ---**
*where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[22:14] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:20] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:25] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:28] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:34] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:40] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:46] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:51] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:57] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*

I probably wouldn't care.*
**[23:08] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*

*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:30] ---**
In shining corners of the galaxy,

**[00:20] ---**
There is no such thing as
a chance meeting between people.
**[00:24] ---**
That's what someone once said.
That it was always inevitable.
**[00:32] ---**
Can it be said that our meeting there,
on that day, in that place,
**[00:36] ---**
was also inevitable?
**[00:40] ---**
That meeting, in the darkness
that stretches out forever,
**[00:44] ---**
which shined like a star
for only the briefest moment,
**[00:48] ---**
and yet, was one that I can never forget.
**[00:56] ---**
One that was so terribly cruel.
**[01:10] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:17] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:24] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:31] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:38] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:40] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:42] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:43] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:47] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:53] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[02:00] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[02:06] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:31] ---**
This is a mess.
**[02:33] ---**
You there!
**[02:35] ---**
Thank you! You've come
to rescue us, right?
**[02:38] ---**
Survivors!
**[02:41] ---**
We were caught in the middle of a battle,
and got hit by stray fire.
**[02:45] ---**
We still have many more
that are wounded.
**[02:47] ---**
Could we have them
treated aboard your ship?
**[02:50] ---**
What are you transporting?
**[02:53] ---**
I have expenses. You'll have to
share some of your goods with me.
**[02:57] ---**
Oh, yeah, you got it.
**[03:09] ---**
Are you all right?
**[03:11] ---**
T- thanks.
**[03:15] ---**
Brother!
**[03:17] ---**
Brother!
**[03:19] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:21] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[03:24] ---**
Brother, it's you, right?
**[03:27] ---**
You have the wrong person.
I don't have any siblings.
**[03:32] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, but could
you lend me your shoulder?
**[03:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:54] ---**
Thanks to you, we made it
out of here alive.
**[03:56] ---**
Thank you so much. We're grateful.
**[04:05] ---**
Your eyes were not smiling.
**[04:15] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[04:16] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[04:19] ---**
Allow us to help you.
**[04:28] ---**
M- Michel-sama?!
**[04:33] ---**
Thank goodness...
thank goodness you're safe!
**[04:36] ---**
Yes indeed... yes indeed...
**[04:39] ---**
Not again.
**[04:41] ---**
You have the wrong person.
I do not know you.
**[04:45] ---**
You can't mean that! It's me!
Sylua! Sylua Moe Silvernail!
**[04:51] ---**
That's a long name.
**[04:52] ---**
Forgive me, but I don't know
what you're talking about.
**[04:58] ---**
What is going on?
**[05:00] ---**
It's unmistakable! This gentleman is-
**[05:02] ---**
Calm down!
**[05:04] ---**
We have the wrong person.
**[05:05] ---**
But...
**[05:06] ---**
Never mind, see to the injured.
**[05:08] ---**
O- okay.
**[05:14] ---**
Thanks. We will rest
in here for a little while.
**[05:18] ---**
Take your time.
**[05:22] ---**
Let's go!
**[05:23] ---**
It looks like we'll be able to
take on plenty of good stuff!
**[05:26] ---**
It is a freighter, after all.
**[05:28] ---**
"Give and take," and everything!
**[05:31] ---**
Heizak!
**[05:41] ---**
Why do you not make sure about him?
**[05:44] ---**
He's right. You've finally met up again.
**[05:47] ---**
--If you don't make sure
it's him now, you'll never-
**[05:48] ---**
--There's no way he could be my brother.
**[05:50] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[05:52] ---**
If that man really is my brother,
**[05:55] ---**
there's no way that
he would not recognize me.
**[05:58] ---**
I'm sure there must be
some reason for this.
**[06:01] ---**
Reason?
**[06:02] ---**
Like some circumstance that will
not allow him to reveal his identity,
**[06:05] ---**
or maybe he is being
threatened by someone.
**[06:07] ---**
Mm-hmm. Whatever the case,
we must check into it.
**[06:11] ---**
You two being reunited here like this
could be the guidance of your late father.
**[06:20] ---**
Right now, I am not just my own person.
**[06:23] ---**
I, Michel Volban,
am the leader of the People's Army!
**[06:27] ---**
What I need to do now is to return
to the People's Army's base
**[06:31] ---**
as quickly as possible,
**[06:32] ---**
and defeat the Holy Emperor's forces,
led by Vetti!
**[06:38] ---**
Michel-sama...
**[07:18] ---**
You've gotten even better.
**[07:21] ---**
Brother...
**[07:22] ---**
Here, once again.
**[07:40] ---**
Brother...
**[07:56] ---**
Something came from the masked woman.
**[07:59] ---**
Would you read it to me?
**[08:01] ---**
Okay!
**[08:03] ---**
Let's see, what have we here?
**[08:06] ---**
"My exceptional dreamer,
**[08:08] ---**
who knows not my face,
and whose words are without soul,
**[08:14] ---**
and yet, who knows not how the mask
you wrote of is as thin ice.
**[08:19] ---**
I see through into the truth of your heart,
and my silhouette is not to be found there.
**[08:25] ---**
Ah, I behold not even your own form.
**[08:28] ---**
Such adoration of emptiness
is but the mark of a clown."
**[08:34] ---**
What is it ultimately
that she's trying to say?
**[08:36] ---**
Cross-Star religion's only daughter.
**[08:40] ---**
She must have been
raised to be so cultured.
**[08:47] ---**
She has beautiful handwriting.
**[08:49] ---**
Vetti-sama, you're horrible!
Do you really intend to marry that woman?
**[09:01] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[09:03] ---**
Imagine, her calling me a clown.
**[09:06] ---**
Don't you think that we can
enjoy this game somewhat?
**[09:11] ---**
Promise me, Vetti-sama,
that even when you're married,
**[09:16] ---**
I will be the only one in your heart.
**[09:20] ---**
Vetti-sama?
**[09:23] ---**
Vetti-sama! What's wrong?! Vetti-sama!
**[09:27] ---**
Stay strong! Vetti-sama! Vetti-sama!
**[09:31] ---**
Wait here! I'm going to go get someone!
**[09:36] ---**
Don't leave!
**[09:42] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[09:43] ---**
I'm right here beside you.
I'm not going anywhere.
**[09:50] ---**
Vetti-sama, please share
your pain with me.
**[10:18] ---**
I'm... okay now...
**[10:23] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[10:44] ---**
Excuse me.
**[10:46] ---**
Did you need something?
**[10:52] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[11:06] ---**
What is the meaning of this?
Is this some sort of joke?
**[11:12] ---**
If he were Brother, there's no way
he wouldn't have defended himself.
**[11:18] ---**
I have acted discourteously. Forgive me.
**[11:26] ---**
To think that you would come to us...
**[11:59] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[12:02] ---**
Watch out!
**[12:06] ---**
What?!
**[12:24] ---**
That was faster than I expected.
**[12:29] ---**
For crying out loud,
you're good for nothing.
**[12:47] ---**
M- Michel?!
**[12:49] ---**
Who are you guys?!
**[12:54] ---**
W- what?!
**[12:56] ---**
My glasses... my glasses...
**[13:00] ---**
--They're kidnapping Michel!
**[13:01] ---**
--My glasses... my glasses... my glasses...
**[13:02] ---**
--What do we do?!
**[13:04] ---**
--First thing we do is get ready to launch!
**[13:06] ---**
...my glasses...
**[13:07] ---**
--my glasses...
**[13:07] ---**
--Come on, let's go!
**[13:16] ---**
I see now. You guys are
Vetti's men, are you?
**[13:29] ---**
Don't be in such a rush.
**[13:32] ---**
I make it a point to take on any fight
that anyone picks with me.
**[13:46] ---**
Tch!
**[13:54] ---**
We're going to go rescue Michel-sama!
**[13:56] ---**
Please make way!
**[13:57] ---**
You're too late!
**[13:59] ---**
Your general has long
since been taken away!
**[14:03] ---**
What?!
**[14:04] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[14:19] ---**
Bastard! You would abandon your men?!
**[14:41] ---**
These are all that are left? Oh, well.
I can always make more dolls.
**[15:16] ---**
We're taking off!
**[15:23] ---**
Would you mind explaining this?
**[15:26] ---**
Michel-sama has an older brother.
**[15:30] ---**
The two brothers were very close.
**[15:34] ---**
Michel-sama greatly adored
his older brother. However,
**[15:40] ---**
his brother went missing during
a battle with Vetti's forces,
**[15:44] ---**
and everyone had given up on him
as having passed away.
**[15:48] ---**
If... if that gentleman is still alive,
**[15:53] ---**
then he would be Michel-sama's
only remaining family.
**[15:57] ---**
How he must have missed him!
**[16:04] ---**
Brother!
**[16:11] ---**
Why?! Why would you do this?!
**[16:14] ---**
Is there some reason why
you won't identify yourself?!
**[16:31] ---**
It's Brother, all right!
It's unmistakably Brother!
**[16:51] ---**
Show me your back!
**[16:54] ---**
If you're my brother, then you
should have a scar on your back.
**[16:56] ---**
If you say you're not my brother,
then show me your back!
**[17:07] ---**
Present arms to Commander Kaz!
**[17:11] ---**
They are pursuing us.
**[17:12] ---**
Shoot them down.
**[17:13] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[17:15] ---**
Just as it was reported.
**[17:17] ---**
So it wasn't enough to even put a dent in it.
**[17:20] ---**
Open all gunports.
**[17:25] ---**
Target the glass battleship. Fire.
**[17:43] ---**
Cleo!
**[17:45] ---**
That's too bad, huh?
**[17:47] ---**
Why did you fire?!
They had nothing to do with this!
**[17:51] ---**
It's too late now.
**[17:52] ---**
Not even that glass battleship
could stand a chance
**[17:54] ---**
against a direct hit from this ship.
**[17:59] ---**
I'm grateful to you, Michel Volban.
**[18:02] ---**
Thanks to you, I will
formally be made a count.
**[18:13] ---**
That man is a valuable tribute to be
given to His Excellency Vetti!
**[18:16] ---**
Why did you spoil him?!
**[18:19] ---**
Oh, well. The order was to take you alive.
As long as you're alive, I don't care.
**[18:29] ---**
What was that just now?!
**[18:31] ---**
The royal family crest has
been stamped onto our ship.
**[18:33] ---**
What?!
**[18:47] ---**
I- impossible! The glass battleship
was shot down!
**[19:02] ---**
Cleo!
**[19:04] ---**
I told you, once I put something in
my pocket, I make sure to protect it!
**[19:08] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[19:08] ---**
--Michel-sama!
**[19:10] ---**
Idiots! Stand back, it's dangerous here!
**[19:21] ---**
Upon failure of the mission,
I was ordered to kill you.
**[19:26] ---**
Your boss is gone.
That order is meaningless.
**[19:34] ---**
Upon failure of the mission,
I was ordered to kill you.
**[19:37] ---**
Brother!
**[19:39] ---**
Sheesh, this is hopeless.
**[19:57] ---**
Say your prayers, and make it fast.
**[20:00] ---**
Stop!
**[20:01] ---**
Please don't!
**[20:03] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[21:03] ---**
Was he your brother?
**[21:07] ---**
No. That was no brother of mine.
**[21:11] ---**
I see.
**[21:21] ---**
Where is Michel-sama?
**[21:25] ---**
Stop!
**[21:27] ---**
Let her be by herself.
**[21:54] ---**

**[23:08] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[23:14] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:30] ---**
When those who are charged with
destiny look back on their past,
**[23:34] ---**
what is it that appeals
to their lonely hearts?

**[00:16] ---**
The stars shine where
no one can reach them.
**[00:20] ---**
Nobody ever tries to take the stars.
The galaxy will go on turning forever.
**[00:27] ---**
Like the stars, people unhurriedly,
and yet unceasingly,
**[00:31] ---**
revolve in their own wheels of fortune.
**[00:36] ---**
Finding consolation in tears,
in what is yet another galaxy.
**[00:54] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:01] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:08] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:15] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:22] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:25] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:26] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:28] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:31] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:37] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:44] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:51] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:22] ---**
It's coming into view.
**[02:25] ---**
They're here to greet us, is that it?
**[02:32] ---**
Unidentified ship approaching.
All ships, prepare to attack!
**[02:37] ---**
Commence-
**[02:40] ---**
Michel!
**[03:24] ---**
--Michel! Michel!
**[03:24] ---**
--Michel! Michel!
**[03:28] ---**
He's incredibly popular, huh?
**[03:30] ---**
He's a hero, after all.
**[03:32] ---**
You bastard! We thought you were dead
after being caught inside that bracered!
**[03:37] ---**
Sorry to have worried you.
**[03:39] ---**
Michel!
**[03:40] ---**
H- hey, Isabel...
**[03:43] ---**
We really did want to send out
a search party as soon as possible.
**[03:46] ---**
It took so long to reorganize
**[03:48] ---**
the People's Army that had
been assimilated, though.
**[03:50] ---**
No, you've done well. As a result,
I was also able to find us our savior.
**[03:56] ---**
Hello! I'm Eimer, the one who saved
your hero! Pleased to meet you!
**[04:05] ---**
He's the People's Army's leader, Theodoric.
**[04:08] ---**
This is our strategy advisor, Hector.
**[04:11] ---**
And this is the
Women's Corps delegate, Isabel.
**[04:13] ---**
Pleased to meet you.
**[04:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:18] ---**
You're the ones who rescued Michel, right?
We really are grateful.
**[04:21] ---**
I hear that you guys defeated
Maconnais and John Fall's fleets
**[04:25] ---**
with that teeny ship of yours.
**[04:27] ---**
It's encouraging to have you guys
joining in with the People's Army.
**[04:34] ---**
We've been needing
combat pros like yourselves.
**[04:38] ---**
I'll bet.
**[04:39] ---**
What?
**[04:40] ---**
Cleo...
**[04:42] ---**
Fine.
**[04:43] ---**
Why don't you hurry up
and show me the form
**[04:46] ---**
taken by these feelings
of gratitude you have?
**[04:48] ---**
Form?
**[04:49] ---**
Money! Money! In addition
to the expenses we incurred
**[04:53] ---**
to deliver your general all the way here,
**[04:55] ---**
we'll be taking plenty for
your feelings of gratitude, as well.
**[04:58] ---**
What's going on here?
This isn't what you told us, is it?
**[05:02] ---**
N- no...
**[05:05] ---**
Where are you going?
We're not done talking!
**[05:08] ---**
I have no intention of playing soldier
with your People's Army.
**[05:11] ---**
What did you say?!
**[05:12] ---**
Stop, would you?!
**[05:15] ---**
How is this bastard
supposed to be our savior?!
**[05:19] ---**
Non, non, he is just the wind.
**[05:27] ---**
You guys are too stuffy!
**[05:32] ---**
The wind is impulsive.
**[05:33] ---**
You'll wear yourselves out
expecting anything.
**[05:37] ---**
Oh, right, Michel, about those
negotiations with B.B....
**[05:40] ---**
Hold on, we'll discuss that later.
**[05:43] ---**
Michel, you must be tired.
You should get some rest.
**[05:47] ---**
Y- yeah, you're right.
Excuse me, I'll do just that.
**[06:28] ---**
You're going to go see the masked woman?
**[06:30] ---**
Do you want to come, too?
**[06:32] ---**
I'm not interested in
any coming-of-age ceremony,
**[06:34] ---**
but I am worried about you
physically, Vetti-sama.
**[06:44] ---**
You're going to miss me, huh?
**[06:47] ---**
Keep thinking about me
the whole time I'm gone.
**[06:59] ---**
Vetti-sama,
**[07:00] ---**
you meanie!
**[07:15] ---**
Um...
**[07:17] ---**
Please continue to look
after Michel-sama for us.
**[07:21] ---**
This is for you.
**[07:33] ---**
You there!
**[07:36] ---**
You're the man who
rescued Michel, right? Eat up!
**[07:40] ---**
Oh, you're the one?
**[07:41] ---**
Thank you so much for rescuing him.
**[07:44] ---**
Thank you, thank you.
**[07:45] ---**
You're a hero!
**[07:47] ---**
Stay at my place tonight!
**[08:00] ---**
Do you see now? Michel-sama
is everyone's star of hope.
**[08:06] ---**
But as you are aware,
**[08:08] ---**
he has not been in good spirits
ever since that earlier incident.
**[08:13] ---**
I don't know why Michel-sama
is so preoccupied with you.
**[08:18] ---**
But I do think that you are the only one
who can cheer Michel-sama up.
**[08:24] ---**
So, I would ask you...
**[08:28] ---**
It's none of my business.
**[08:30] ---**
But still...
**[08:32] ---**
If you want, would you eat this for me?
**[08:39] ---**
Cleo-san, you idiot!
**[08:46] ---**
--Cheers!
**[08:46] ---**
--Cheers!
**[08:49] ---**
Thank goodness Michel is safe!
**[08:51] ---**
Our savior is immortal after all!
**[08:53] ---**
What have you been so upset
about this last while?
**[08:55] ---**
Nothing.
**[08:57] ---**
You're pining, huh?
**[08:58] ---**
What for?
**[08:59] ---**
Shut up.
**[09:00] ---**
You're such a boor!
**[09:02] ---**
Put a little distance between you and
the man you love, and you pine for him.
**[09:06] ---**
Shut up, you drunk!
**[09:07] ---**
The man she loves?
**[09:10] ---**
My glasses... my glasses...
**[09:12] ---**
--my glasses... my glasses...
**[09:12] ---**
--Still, you know, I didn't think that Michel
**[09:15] ---**
--was such an important figure as this.
**[09:15] ---**
--Oh, here they are.
**[09:19] ---**
I'm gonna do it.
**[09:23] ---**
Do what?
**[09:24] ---**
Isn't it obvious?! It's Michel! Michel!
**[09:27] ---**
Huh?
**[09:32] ---**
Sorry to keep you wait-
**[09:35] ---**
Cleo-san!
**[09:36] ---**
Thanks for coming. Come on, this way.
**[09:39] ---**
Just a moment. I'm the one who decides
whether guests enter or whether they-
**[09:46] ---**
I'm the one who invited him.
You please keep quiet, Grandfather.
**[09:50] ---**
She's growing sassy. This is the
influence of that good-for-nothing.
**[10:05] ---**
This is the brother, huh?
**[10:07] ---**
As you can see.
**[10:14] ---**
How long do you plan to stay here?
**[10:17] ---**
I do not know what Sylua said to you,
**[10:20] ---**
but please do not involve yourself
with Michel-sama any further.
**[10:24] ---**
I think you're telling
that to the wrong person.
**[10:30] ---**
Michel-sama! What's the matter,
Michel-sama? Michel-sama!
**[10:34] ---**
Sylua, what is going on?
**[10:35] ---**
I don't know.
There's someone else in there.
**[10:38] ---**
What?
**[10:39] ---**
Stand back.
**[10:42] ---**
Yowch!
**[10:46] ---**
Yeah, the roof gave out, you see...
**[10:49] ---**
Eimer!
**[10:53] ---**
I told her not to.
**[10:55] ---**
W- what are you doing up there?!
**[10:58] ---**
Get out of here!
**[11:00] ---**
All of you, get out of here!
**[11:05] ---**
A w- w- woman?!
**[11:10] ---**
Those are the wings
of an angel, aren't they?
**[11:13] ---**
Sylua, quickly, a towel!
**[11:14] ---**
R- right!
**[11:18] ---**
M- my glasses!
**[11:30] ---**
So, you realized, did you?
**[11:33] ---**
Kind of.
**[11:35] ---**
I was-
**[11:36] ---**
Wait.
**[11:45] ---**
Not you guys again! Enough, already!
**[11:47] ---**
I don't care.
**[11:49] ---**
Everyone, come on in.
**[11:51] ---**
Michel-sama...
**[11:55] ---**
My real name is Racine Brush Volban.
**[12:00] ---**
The reason why I wear this getup is
all because of my brother's influence.
**[12:05] ---**
My mother passed away
right after I was born,
**[12:08] ---**
and my father was always away from home
with the People's Liberation Movement.
**[12:13] ---**
So I spent most of my life with my brother.
**[12:20] ---**
Racine! Racine!
**[12:23] ---**
Come, strike me.
**[12:24] ---**
I'd rather play house.
**[12:28] ---**
If you won't come at me,
then I'm coming at you.
**[12:36] ---**
As someone who was unusually
bashful in front of strangers,
**[12:40] ---**
my brother was the only playmate I had,
so I naturally became more boyish.
**[12:47] ---**
Now that I think back on it, my brother
must have been trying to ease my solitude,
**[12:51] ---**
by always being there for me.
**[12:54] ---**
grown to like swordsmanship,
**[12:57] ---**
and improved my skills
as I competed with my brother.
**[13:00] ---**
I wanted to study the same
things as my brother,
**[13:03] ---**
who received all sorts of education,
as the heir to the house of Volban,
**[13:07] ---**
but my father would not allow that.
**[13:10] ---**
On the contrary, he was
even against my fencing,
**[13:13] ---**
and in order to vent my anguish, I became
even more absorbed in my fencing,
**[13:17] ---**
and secretly continued
to practice by myself.
**[13:20] ---**
And so, eventually...
**[13:28] ---**
You've beaten me, Racine.
I'm no match for you anymore.
**[13:36] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[13:38] ---**
Father!
**[13:39] ---**
Racine, I thought
I forbade you from fencing!
**[13:42] ---**
I'm the one who asked her to.
I'm the one you should scold-
**[13:45] ---**
You keep quiet!
**[13:48] ---**
Racine, swear to me now that you
will never hold a sword again.
**[13:52] ---**
But...
**[13:53] ---**
What good will it do a girl
like you to learn fencing?!
**[13:57] ---**
What's more, if anyone were to
find out that you beat your brother,
**[14:00] ---**
it would bring shame
upon the house of Volban!
**[14:08] ---**
That is all of it, then?
**[14:13] ---**
That was the end of my adolescence.
**[14:18] ---**
From that day on, I decided
to live my life as a woman-
**[14:22] ---**
as the only daughter
of the house of Volban.
**[14:29] ---**
Yes?
**[14:31] ---**
Your carriage is ready.
**[14:34] ---**
I'm coming now.
**[14:38] ---**
Then, one day,
**[14:39] ---**
a tournament was held to determine
the greatest swordsman in the galaxy.
**[14:44] ---**
My brother, entering as the representative
for the nearby region of space,
**[14:47] ---**
proceeded to advance his way through.
**[14:52] ---**
However, the one he was up
against in the finals...
**[14:56] ---**
Begin!
**[15:07] ---**
Break!
**[15:09] ---**
Brother!
**[15:18] ---**
Not yet!
**[15:20] ---**
But wounded as you are...
**[15:22] ---**
He has not officially scored a point yet.
**[15:25] ---**
Besides that, I cannot admit defeat
over a wound such as this.
**[15:30] ---**
For the sake of the
house of Volban's honor, as well...
**[15:35] ---**
Well spoken, Michel!
**[15:42] ---**
Crimson Virginia, give me strength!
**[15:46] ---**
Begin!
**[15:56] ---**
Brother! Circle right!
**[16:12] ---**
Beautiful.
**[16:23] ---**
You're quite becoming,
**[16:26] ---**
Michel-kun...
**[16:28] ---**
Break!
**[16:31] ---**
number of significant hits,
**[16:33] ---**
is declared to be Contestant Vetti Sforza!
**[16:50] ---**
Michel Volban...
**[16:53] ---**
Someday, without fail,
I will make you my own.
**[16:59] ---**
Just then, the age of
warring between nations
**[17:01] ---**
for the survival of the fittest began.
**[17:04] ---**
Just as Vetti had said,
**[17:06] ---**
he came to take away my brother and the
territory of the house of Volban- by force.
**[17:11] ---**
The fighting was extremely fierce,
but victory was favoring Vetti's forces,
**[17:16] ---**
and as my brother was being
pressed to surrender,
**[17:18] ---**
he faced off against Vetti's ship
all by himself. And then...
**[17:24] ---**
Racine-sama, it's the Master!
**[17:29] ---**
Father! Father, stay with us! Father!
**[17:34] ---**
Racine...
**[17:37] ---**
Yes, Father!
**[17:39] ---**
Michel said... to give this... to you...
**[17:46] ---**
It can't be... It's not true...
**[17:49] ---**
There's no way that Brother could be dead!
**[17:58] ---**
Racine...
**[17:59] ---**
Father! Be strong!
**[18:09] ---**
Father! Father!
**[18:12] ---**
Father!!
**[18:19] ---**
Before long, Vetti had
crushed the Allied Nobility,
**[18:22] ---**
and created a society that was even
more centered around the nobility.
**[18:26] ---**
I decided to carry on
the will of my father and brother,
**[18:29] ---**
and resolved to stand up
for the people who were suffering.
**[18:39] ---**
I'm sorry, Jean.
**[18:42] ---**
Please do not say a word. I have given
my entire life to the house of Volban.
**[18:47] ---**
I understand what it is
that you are thinking, my lady.
**[18:51] ---**
At least permit your pain
to come from my hand.
**[19:04] ---**
G- Grandfather! What in
the world are you doing?!
**[19:07] ---**
Sylua, you must not
speak of this to anyone.
**[19:11] ---**
I ask of myself, as well.
**[19:13] ---**
But!
**[19:14] ---**
This is what I must do.
**[19:18] ---**
Racine-sama...
**[19:24] ---**
My lady...
**[19:25] ---**
I mean, Michel-sama,
what a gallant figure you cut.
**[19:29] ---**
You truly do. It's like your brother
has come back to life.
**[19:33] ---**
Now, as of this moment,
**[19:36] ---**
I renounce the name Racine,
and will live as Michel Volban.
**[19:42] ---**
Crimson Virginia, give me strength!
**[19:46] ---**
I kept that oath within my heart,
**[19:49] ---**
and waited for my chance to escape
from Vetti's integrated territories.
**[20:04] ---**
Excellency! Excellency!
You must take shelter at once!
**[20:33] ---**
But why did you go so far
as to pose as your brother?
**[20:38] ---**
She couldn't take the head of the family
as a woman now, could she?
**[20:40] ---**
But I mean, she didn't
have to scar her back.
**[20:43] ---**
You loved him, huh?
**[20:46] ---**
Not as your brother, but with
your whole body and soul.
**[21:06] ---**
What is that for?
**[21:08] ---**
Save your crying for after
we've defeated Vetti.
**[21:12] ---**
I have to use you as a lure
to draw him out, after all.
**[21:16] ---**
Michel-sama is not some tool for you to-
**[21:18] ---**
To say nothing of you upholding
the people's expectations,
**[21:21] ---**
and being their star of hope.
**[21:23] ---**
Hope is something that
always sparkles brightly.
**[21:29] ---**
There's no going back now.
**[21:32] ---**
You have to know that.
**[21:36] ---**
I...
**[21:37] ---**
Isn't that right, Michel Volban?
**[21:54] ---**
"Like a Rebuke"

*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*

the finger that lied to you*

we spoke each other's names,*

*Even if this world were made of nothing*

I probably wouldn't care.*

**[00:18] ---**
Looking back on our memories in order to
move forward is not a pointless exercise.
**[00:24] ---**
But sometimes, memories are
bedecked so beautifully,
**[00:28] ---**
that they become a miniature garden,
**[00:29] ---**
that traps a person's mind,
and does not let go.
**[00:33] ---**
Once bound by their memories,
**[00:35] ---**
a person's mind can
no longer move forward.
**[00:39] ---**
Are my scars a beautiful past to me?
**[00:44] ---**
Or is it just childish sentimentality?
**[00:48] ---**
I still cannot see the answer.
**[01:02] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:09] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:16] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:23] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:30] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:32] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:34] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:35] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:39] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:45] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:52] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:59] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:33] ---**
7th Ship has been lost!
**[02:34] ---**
It's no use! The fleet on
the battle lines is relentless,
**[02:36] ---**
and we can't get near
the territorial ship!
**[02:38] ---**
We cannot allow them to get any closer!
**[02:41] ---**
Break through the enemy fleet,
no matter what it takes!
**[02:48] ---**
Fire! Give chase! Blast them!
**[02:52] ---**
Forgive me for saying so, Excellency sir,
**[02:56] ---**
but be sure not to forget that
we are to apprehend Michel Volban.
**[03:01] ---**
Gouda is correct.
**[03:03] ---**
Girls, let's be sure to remember that.
**[03:12] ---**
Sorry we're late!
**[03:14] ---**
Michel!
**[03:15] ---**
Our course is for
Bardeaux Territory, right?
**[03:17] ---**
Yes. Hector is leading the fleet,
but the tide of war is going against us.
**[03:22] ---**
You should hurry up and get out of here.
**[03:23] ---**
All right.
**[03:27] ---**
Where are you going?
You know what's going on.
**[03:30] ---**
What about you? You're going
to live up to your obligations
**[03:32] ---**
for talking so big in front of everyone.
**[03:34] ---**
What?
**[03:37] ---**
Why don't you show me
how you would fight?
**[04:54] ---**
Those of us who are born under
the Black Star Cross are all sinners.
**[05:02] ---**
From times of old, in exchange for the
blessings that God doth bestow upon us,
**[05:07] ---**
He desireth that we offer Him
a grand atonement,
**[05:09] ---**
and hath required us to make sacrifices.
**[05:11] ---**
And now, behold the maiden,
clad in a visage of iron, before you.
**[05:17] ---**
Her true face hath been sealed
under the law of sacrifice,
**[05:21] ---**
thus, ye cannot be too grateful
**[05:23] ---**
for the forgiveness and blessings
ye have obtained.
**[05:28] ---**
My daughter, Rachel,
hath been offered in sacrifice.
**[05:31] ---**
However, thy father knoweth
**[05:34] ---**
--Now, let's see if it's an
ogre or a snake that appears.
**[05:34] ---**
--that thy soul is of God.
**[05:37] ---**
--I wonder if she's got a sea monster's
face hidden behind the mask.
**[05:37] ---**
--Thy soul hath been purified by God,
**[05:40] ---**
--He hath driven out the
impurities of this world,
**[05:41] ---**
--Yeah, the kind where anyone who
looks at it would be terrified of it.
**[05:42] ---**
--and hath absolved us, as well.
**[05:45] ---**
--You have to feel sorry for his daughter.
**[05:45] ---**
--And now, on this blessed day,
**[05:47] ---**
--To have to wear a mask like
that, even if it is the custom...
**[05:48] ---**
--the prolonged days of
sacrifice come to an end.
**[05:52] ---**
Rachel is born to purge all of the impurity
from this world in God's name.
**[05:58] ---**
Thus, with her serving as
an atoning goddess for all of you,
**[06:02] ---**
we now perform this
coming-of-age ceremony.
**[06:29] ---**
Now, be ye born beneath
the light of the stars!
**[06:37] ---**
Open your eyes, Rachel,
**[06:40] ---**
and speak to the people
for whom you have atoned,
**[06:44] ---**
and saved, beneath your mask.
**[06:48] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[07:35] ---**
5th Ship has gone down!
**[07:37] ---**
Our side is the only one
being beaten, isn't it?!
**[07:39] ---**
If this keeps up, we'll be wiped out!
**[07:41] ---**
Please stand firm! Stir up
your pride as the People's Army!
**[07:48] ---**
W- we're going down! It's all over!
**[07:51] ---**
Stop that! Saying that will turn a battle
we can win into one we cannot!
**[07:55] ---**
Hector, I'm receiving unrelenting
communications from the other ships,
**[07:57] ---**
saying "Give us instructions, now!"
**[07:59] ---**
What do we do?!
**[08:00] ---**
I'm thinking right now!
**[08:04] ---**
L- launch a barrage, directly ahead!
**[08:16] ---**
Receiving a message
from the glass battleship!
**[08:18] ---**
"Move it! What are you, asleep?!"
**[08:29] ---**
Amazing!
**[08:31] ---**
F- fire! Fire! We're going to follow them!
**[08:36] ---**
Don't sell the royal family's
fighting spirit short!
**[08:51] ---**
I gotta say, the People's Army
is not good for a whole lot.
**[08:54] ---**
I'm surprised they even thought they
could launch a revolution like this.
**[09:00] ---**
What?!
**[09:01] ---**
My glasses!
**[09:02] ---**
Oh, no! I hit them!
**[09:04] ---**
Hey, what were you doing?!
**[09:06] ---**
But look!
**[09:07] ---**
The glass battleship
isn't slowing down one bit!
**[09:10] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
We're on your side, you know!
**[09:13] ---**
Receiving a message from Hector's ship.
**[09:15] ---**
It says, "Sorry about that."
**[09:18] ---**
Sorry, I apologize too.
**[09:22] ---**
That's enough! I'm taking over!
**[09:26] ---**
Your father's talk was most wonderful.
**[09:29] ---**
All of us at the Ministry of Supplication
**[09:32] ---**
wish the Cross-Star religion
continued growth.
**[09:39] ---**
May you have joy
in the light of the Cross.
**[09:46] ---**
Next, from the 10th Wing of the Ministry
of Supplication, Sir Lance Beloiel.
**[09:56] ---**
You have truly grown up beautifully.
**[10:00] ---**
This is wholly thanks to
the purification of God.
**[10:06] ---**
May you have joy in the light of the Cross.
**[10:17] ---**
All of us at the Ministry of Supplication
offer our sincerest blessings...
**[10:20] ---**
...upon Our Lady on your
coming-of-age ceremony.
**[10:26] ---**
Next, His Excellency, the Holy Emperor,
Vetti Sforza-sama.
**[10:44] ---**
It is a pleasure to meet you, Rachel-sama.
**[10:50] ---**
That the Holy Emperor should
deign to stand on the same level
**[10:53] ---**
as a commoner such as myself,
**[10:56] ---**
let alone kneel down before me...
**[10:59] ---**
I am just a person,
the same as everyone else,
**[11:02] ---**
and I have come here as the clown
who loves you, even in my dreams.
**[11:23] ---**
Deciphering code...
**[11:25] ---**
A full salvo from
the enemy fleet is coming.
**[11:28] ---**
Submerge.
**[11:29] ---**
You got it!
**[12:01] ---**
To have this kind of
maneuverability underwater...
**[12:03] ---**
It worked. We've lured them under.
**[12:06] ---**
Make them regret it.
**[12:13] ---**
Don't sell the royal family's
submersibles short!
**[12:31] ---**
There isn't anything this ship can't do!
**[12:34] ---**
Incoming.
**[12:42] ---**
There's no end to them! What do we do?
**[12:47] ---**
Cleo...
**[12:53] ---**
There's a soleil facility near here, right?
**[12:55] ---**
Huh?
**[12:58] ---**
Yes, there's a relay subunit at 7 o'clock.
**[13:03] ---**
All right, let's blow it away!
**[13:05] ---**
What?! Wait, that's pivotal
to the soleil supply!
**[13:09] ---**
If you do that,
**[13:10] ---**
--the lives of the people-
**[13:10] ---**
--It's the only way to bring
down all of them together.
**[13:13] ---**
But...
**[13:15] ---**
You wanted to see how
I would fight, didn't you?
**[13:30] ---**
Salvo!
**[13:49] ---**
What's that?!
**[13:56] ---**
W- what have they done?!
**[14:01] ---**
Splendid!
**[14:02] ---**
Wiped out?!
**[14:04] ---**
There is no response from
any of the ships of the line!
**[14:07] ---**
What happened to them?!
**[14:09] ---**
It looks like they blew up
a soleil facility!
**[14:16] ---**
Don't tell me... Michel!
**[14:21] ---**
Incoming message
from the glass battleship.
**[14:24] ---**
"Keep quiet and follow me!"
**[14:36] ---**
We're following them! We're going to
attack the enemy territorial ship!
**[14:55] ---**
T- the glass battleship is too daunting!
**[14:59] ---**
Excellency sir! Please take flight at once!
**[15:03] ---**
--Sir!
**[15:03] ---**
--Sir, please hurry!
**[15:14] ---**
You must have collected
donations all day today, huh?
**[15:19] ---**
I am not fond of such
a secular manner of speaking.
**[15:24] ---**
Forgive my rudeness.
**[15:26] ---**
What do you think of my daughter?
**[15:30] ---**
She truly is a goddess.
**[15:32] ---**
I would be proud to have the honor
of exchanging vows with her.
**[15:36] ---**
My daughter will be pleased that
the Holy Emperor said as much about her.
**[15:43] ---**
However that may be...
**[15:44] ---**
Mm-hmm, I know.
**[15:48] ---**
Excuse me, Your Eminence...
**[15:50] ---**
There is a visitor here
for the Holy Emperor.
**[15:53] ---**
Cut out that "visitor" business!
**[15:56] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[15:57] ---**
Ralph? You're being rude
in front of His Eminence.
**[16:01] ---**
Oh, the masked woman's father?
**[16:03] ---**
Ralph, I told you not
to come here, didn't I?
**[16:06] ---**
I don't like being away from you like that.
**[16:10] ---**
I'm terribly sorry.
This is my Imperial Guard.
**[16:14] ---**
No, not at all. Do not let it bother you.
**[16:44] ---**
You are the daughter of the
Cross-Star religion, Rachel-sama, yes?
**[16:48] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:50] ---**
If you would be so kind
as to come with us,
**[16:52] ---**
we will not do anything to hurt you.
**[16:54] ---**
Know only that we are those who reject
the teachings of the Cross-Star religion.
**[17:01] ---**
Let me go!
**[17:02] ---**
Please remain quiet.
**[17:04] ---**
This may inconvenience you, but please
bear with it for the time being.
**[17:21] ---**
Rachel-sama, are you hurt?
**[17:23] ---**
I'm all right.
**[17:25] ---**
Stay back!
**[17:26] ---**
Just you try to put
a single mark on Rachel-sama.
**[17:30] ---**
I will pickle you alive in salt.
**[17:33] ---**
This rose that does not achieve its desires
**[17:38] ---**
Was given to us by
the gods we believe in and...
**[17:48] ---**
Let's pull out of here! Pull out!
**[17:54] ---**
Are you unhurt?
**[17:59] ---**
Oh, Rachel! What happened?
**[18:02] ---**
Father...
**[18:04] ---**
Your Eminence,
something dreadful has occurred.
**[18:07] ---**
Allow me to explain what happened.
**[18:10] ---**
Those who disbelieve the Cross-Star
religion attempted to kidnap me,
**[18:15] ---**
but thanks to Vetti-sama,
nothing came of it.
**[18:18] ---**
What?!
**[18:19] ---**
However, it was all a sham.
**[18:22] ---**
A sham?
**[18:24] ---**
It was an amateurish put-on,
to allow Vetti-sama to win my heart.
**[18:29] ---**
Not even as good as a child's skit.
**[18:34] ---**
Rachel, you're being rude.
**[18:36] ---**
Father, you should be
ashamed of yourself, as well.
**[18:39] ---**
Did you think that I could be made to be
someone else's over a stunt like this?
**[18:43] ---**
How did you know?
**[18:46] ---**
Today is not the first time that
the night breeze has touched my bared face.
**[18:52] ---**
What?
**[18:52] ---**
I took advantage of the fact that
no one knew my face up until now,
**[18:56] ---**
and went around to numerous places,
to see what the world was really like.
**[19:01] ---**
This universe, which your teachings,
Father, and Vetti-sama's power, control.
**[19:08] ---**
Well then, have a pleasant evening.
**[19:11] ---**
Rachel!
**[19:12] ---**
You have been shown a side of her
you never knew, huh?
**[19:15] ---**
Indeed, it is most amusing.
**[19:19] ---**
Perhaps my acting is only convincing
when I am delivering my sermons.
**[19:23] ---**
Rachel, wait! Rachel!
**[19:30] ---**
Come on out.
**[19:35] ---**
I'm sorry. It was my fault, huh?
If I had played it more seriously...
**[19:40] ---**
You were serious enough about
meaning to kill her, weren't you?
**[19:45] ---**
This performance was a success.
**[19:49] ---**
In her humiliation
over being thought of
**[19:51] ---**
as a woman easily swayed
by such a clumsy act,
**[19:54] ---**
she has removed her mask
in a truer sense.
**[19:59] ---**
She seeks the truth,
more than anyone else.
**[20:20] ---**
How about just the two of us,
the next day off I get?
**[20:22] ---**
No, you should definitely come with me!
**[20:25] ---**
No, no... Mama said
that men are all wolves.
**[20:30] ---**
You're planning to do something,
aren't you? Oh, no!
**[20:35] ---**
So, overnight, they have
become heroes, have they?
**[20:38] ---**
They as good as shot down
an entire enemy territorial ship
**[20:41] ---**
with just one vessel, after all.
**[20:50] ---**
I deeply apologize for having
fired upon your ship. I am truly sorry.
**[20:55] ---**
Hey, Cleo!
**[20:57] ---**
You went off and acted on your own again!
**[20:59] ---**
We may have managed to
confiscate an enemy territory,
**[21:02] ---**
but if we hadn't been lucky, our lives
wouldn't have had any light for a while.
**[21:07] ---**
So?
**[21:12] ---**
Don't be offended.
I mean, look around you.
**[21:17] ---**
Look at how happy everyone is.
You truly are our savior.
**[21:30] ---**
You people, all of you! Fight for me!
**[21:36] ---**
--Cleo! Cleo! Cleo! Cleo!
**[21:36] ---**
--Cleo! Cleo! Cleo! Cleo!
**[21:39] ---**

Can people keep moving forward,
**[00:21] ---**
even when they know
the future that must be?
**[00:25] ---**
Or do they shrink back in terror,
unable to take even one step further?
**[00:33] ---**
No matter what future awaits us,
people must keep moving forward.
**[00:39] ---**
They must walk the path that they see
in front of them, one step at a time.

**[02:08] ---**
John Fall's territorial ship, which had
been sent to secure Michel Volban,
**[02:13] ---**
appears to have been assimilated
by the People's Army.
**[02:17] ---**
The safety of Count John Fall is uncertain,
**[02:20] ---**
but it is thought that he died in battle
in the People's Army's counterattack.
**[02:25] ---**
For the soul of the great
Count John Fall...
**[02:35] ---**
Subsequently, in order
for our Holy Emperor's forces
**[02:38] ---**
to subdue the People's Army,
**[02:40] ---**
we dispatched the
Patozzan fleet immediately,
**[02:43] ---**
but a battle broke out in the vicinity
of the People's Army's Cavell territory...
**[02:58] ---**
Wow, we have a large number
of guests arriving again.
**[03:01] ---**
It's the Holy Emperor's forces again.
**[03:04] ---**
They really are being pesky.
**[03:09] ---**
What?
**[03:09] ---**
N- nothing.
**[03:12] ---**
Shall we get underway?
**[03:13] ---**
You got it!
**[03:21] ---**
--Don't sell the royal family's secret...
**[03:23] ---**
--Oh, what's it going to be today?
**[03:29] ---**
D- don't...
**[03:33] ---**
Don't sell the royal family's secrets short!
**[03:40] ---**
Although they fought well,
the Patozzan fleet was wiped out.
**[03:44] ---**
Our casualties were tremendous.
We believe that our soleil was also taken.
**[03:49] ---**
Up to now, the People's Army,
**[03:52] ---**
who had been quite amateurish
when it came to warfare,
**[03:54] ---**
were no match for us,
**[03:57] ---**
but with the addition of one battleship
to the People's Army's forces...
**[04:01] ---**
Cleo, right?
**[04:03] ---**
Yes.
**[04:05] ---**
I will be reporting on that matter.
**[04:13] ---**
This is the glass battleship
**[04:15] ---**
that previously defeated
Maconnais' battleship single-handedly,
**[04:17] ---**
as well as both the John Fall
and Panozzan fleets.
**[04:23] ---**
I've never seen that configuration before.
**[04:25] ---**
It almost looks like
a child's toy, doesn't it?
**[04:26] ---**
How could they be beaten
by a ship such as this?
**[04:28] ---**
It is, as it were, a phantom ship,
belonging neither
**[04:32] ---**
to our Holy Emperor's forces,
nor the People's Army.
**[04:35] ---**
According to spies that I dispatched,
**[04:37] ---**
information regarding the crew
of this ship is as follows:
**[04:45] ---**
Her name is Eimer. She is in charge
of piloting the battleship.
**[04:49] ---**
She handles the control stick like a knife,
**[04:52] ---**
and is said to have piloting skills
exceptional enough to turn the ship around
**[04:56] ---**
in a matter of seconds.
**[04:58] ---**
She is believed to be clearheaded,
with the ability to make calm judgments.
**[05:05] ---**
Next is the engineer, Badat.
**[05:08] ---**
Once, he was the right-hand man
for the hero, Admiral Gawain.
**[05:13] ---**
Admiral Gawain?
**[05:15] ---**
He is praised as having
the greatest skill in the galaxy,
**[05:18] ---**
and despite there being many who
wished to recruit him to their own ships,
**[05:22] ---**
--even by force,
**[05:22] ---**
--Aw, man, it's empty already?
**[05:23] ---**
--following the Admiral's
death, he went into hiding,
**[05:26] ---**
--and his whereabouts became unknown.
**[05:28] ---**
Moving on, the gunner, Heizak.
**[05:31] ---**
He had been on the wanted lists previously
as an enthusiast for dangerous weapons.
**[05:35] ---**
He hopped from one battlefield to the next,
**[05:38] ---**
and every division he was in
was sure to be wiped out.
**[05:40] ---**
Finally, he went on an independent raid
against the Cross-Star religion,
**[05:44] ---**
and remains at large.
**[05:45] ---**
He is said to be a dangerous individual,
**[05:47] ---**
and that there is no telling what
he will do when he goes into a frenzy.
**[05:52] ---**
And this is their cryptographer, Nowy.
**[05:54] ---**
He is said to be a genius
at deciphering codes.
**[05:57] ---**
This is the youth that
broke the Robron Egg,
**[06:00] ---**
the Allied Nobility's most top-secret code.
**[06:03] ---**
Oh, the Robron Egg?
**[06:05] ---**
--That young boy?
**[06:06] ---**
--That can't be!
**[06:06] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[06:07] ---**
He is said to have been involved in
the decryption of many codes previously,
**[06:11] ---**
and that wherever there is a shadow
of conspiracy, he is sure to be there.
**[06:15] ---**
For the reasons I have stated,
**[06:16] ---**
the crew of this ship is believed
to be a fairly dangerous group.
**[06:22] ---**
My glasses... my glasses...
**[06:25] ---**
H- however, there is only one person,
the leader of this battleship,
**[06:29] ---**
a man named Cleo,
**[06:31] ---**
for whom we were unable to gather
any reliable information.
**[06:33] ---**
There have been imprudent remarks that
he carries the blood of the royal family,
**[06:37] ---**
but that is unconfirmed, and his actions
are not unlike that of a common pirate.
**[06:41] ---**
There are any number of groups
like that in the frontier lands.
**[06:45] ---**
What is their objective? Why are they
acting alongside the People's Army?
**[06:50] ---**
What is their force of arms?
**[06:52] ---**
Ultimately, we don't really know
anything important about them, do we?
**[06:57] ---**
If Narufu doesn't know, then it must be true.
**[07:04] ---**
There have been two or three
reported sightings of a glass battleship
**[07:09] ---**
in the frontier districts.
**[07:11] ---**
However, for reasons that are unclear,
**[07:14] ---**
they appear to have taken
Michel Volban aboard,
**[07:17] ---**
and have come out in open hostility
against our Holy Emperor's forces
**[07:21] ---**
by assisting the People's Army.
**[07:23] ---**
Begging your pardon...
**[07:25] ---**
The daughter of Pope Gorna has brought
a handwritten letter from the Pope.
**[07:29] ---**
We're in a meeting here!
**[07:31] ---**
She said that there was an urgent matter
for you to be made aware of.
**[07:35] ---**
Bring it here.
**[07:50] ---**
Excellency?
**[07:52] ---**
It's intelligence that the People's Army
is headed for Bardeaux territory.
**[07:58] ---**
Clever thinking.
**[08:00] ---**
That information means...
**[08:03] ---**
We'll make the first move.
**[08:04] ---**
As you wish.
**[08:26] ---**
Ah, all of the flowers in my garden
are certain to wither up.
**[08:33] ---**
They will be ashamed of
their own ugliness next to your beauty,
**[08:37] ---**
and it will mark the end of their lives.
**[08:40] ---**
I have only come here
on my father's errand.
**[08:43] ---**
Such transparent words
as those are unnecessary.
**[08:46] ---**
How rude! In that case, you can
leave here at once, can't you?!
**[08:52] ---**
What an adorable little boy.
**[08:53] ---**
It seems like I have heard your voice
somewhere else, not long ago.
**[09:02] ---**
I'm sure I must be mistaken about that.
**[09:08] ---**
My life shines all the brighter
to be able to give sight to your face,
**[09:12] ---**
and to give ear to your voice.
**[09:19] ---**
Here.
**[09:20] ---**
I hope that this will be able
to relieve your boredom,
**[09:22] ---**
and provide even the least bit of solace.
**[09:26] ---**
This is your first gift to me.
**[09:29] ---**
Someday, I will have this placed
inside my coffin with me.
**[09:33] ---**
Huh? What is this?
**[09:40] ---**
It was in your letter earlier as well.
**[09:43] ---**
It's true, I am as a clown,
controlled by your love.
**[09:48] ---**
I doubt that what is controlling you is love,
as in a vision on a spring evening.
**[09:55] ---**
The thing that you desire is not love,
to say nothing of myself.
**[10:04] ---**
You may have removed your mask,
**[10:06] ---**
but your heart is still heavy and cold,
as though clad in steel armor.
**[10:11] ---**
However, the real you is
as delicate as these flowers,
**[10:16] ---**
and you possess a heart
that is purer than any other.
**[10:20] ---**
I await the day when you will bend to me.
**[10:51] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[10:57] ---**
Vetti-sama, are you okay?
**[11:00] ---**
Vetti-sama! Vetti-sama!
**[11:06] ---**
Vetti-sama!!
**[11:26] ---**
Over these last few battles,
**[11:28] ---**
we, the People's Army, have gradually
begun to gain strength,
**[11:32] ---**
but the truth remains that the
Holy Emperor's forces are a mighty power.
**[11:37] ---**
If our force of arms makes up 10%,
**[11:39] ---**
then Vetti's forces
would be 60% or greater.
**[11:41] ---**
Apart from that are forces, such as B.B.'s,
that are unaffiliated with either side.
**[11:45] ---**
Whichever side can bring in
this remaining 30%
**[11:48] ---**
will hold the key to the tide of this war.
**[11:50] ---**
So you're saying that
by having B.B. as an ally,
**[11:52] ---**
we can bring in the remaining 30%
without even having to fight, right?
**[11:58] ---**
What will you do once negotiations fail?
**[12:00] ---**
The reason why we're discussing this
is so that doesn't happen, you know!
**[12:04] ---**
Could you please
cooperate with us a little?
**[12:06] ---**
Vetti is the only one I'm after.
**[12:08] ---**
What?!
**[12:09] ---**
It doesn't matter.
We are after Vetti as well.
**[12:13] ---**
But is this the only way? Isn't there
a more peaceful way to do this?
**[12:18] ---**
Peaceful, you say?! Are you planning
to sell your soul to the nobility?!
**[12:22] ---**
No, I was just...
**[12:24] ---**
Any way we do it, unless we gain an
equal footing with the Emperor's forces,
**[12:27] ---**
then even if we do make peace,
**[12:29] ---**
things will still go
whichever way they please.
**[12:31] ---**
I will go to negotiate.
Will somebody lend me a ship?
**[12:35] ---**
I will!
**[12:36] ---**
No, that would not be advisable.
You have to defend us here.
**[12:42] ---**
If anything were to happen to Michel,
we couldn't have that.
**[12:45] ---**
We can't just have him
taking any old ship.
**[12:48] ---**
Yes.
**[12:49] ---**
Are you calling my ship dangerous?!
**[12:51] ---**
P- please, calm down.
**[12:53] ---**
Then, what are we supposed to do?!
**[12:54] ---**
I'm thinking about that right now.
**[12:56] ---**
I'll go!
**[12:58] ---**
For crying out loud, I can't
stand watching you guys.
**[13:03] ---**
Hey! We're not done talking here!
**[13:08] ---**
What a bastard!
**[13:16] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[13:17] ---**
Don't make that face.
**[13:19] ---**
But Vetti-sama, this happened
to you before, right? I'm scared...
**[13:29] ---**
I'm going to tell this just to you.
**[13:33] ---**
My life is going to come to an end soon.
**[13:36] ---**
No! Don't say such a terrible thing!
**[13:40] ---**
The reason why I am trying to marry Rachel
is not just a political one.
**[13:47] ---**
In the ancient past, there was
once an enormous battleship.
**[13:52] ---**
A battleship?
**[13:53] ---**
It's said that this battleship used
an unknown technology now lost to us...
**[13:58] ---**
...that allowed it to freely
manipulate even time.
**[14:02] ---**
However, at some point,
**[14:04] ---**
that enormous battleship
broke up into many pieces.
**[14:09] ---**
If I am able to bring that
gigantic battleship back,
**[14:13] ---**
we will be able to obtain
that technology once again.
**[14:18] ---**
To do that, it will be necessary to
bring the galaxy under unified rule.
**[14:21] ---**
If you are able to obtain that technology,
**[14:23] ---**
Vetti-sama, then you won't
have to die, will you?
**[14:26] ---**
That's why you have to
marry Rachel, isn't it?
**[14:31] ---**
Rachel is an indispensable tool
that I need to unify the galaxy.
**[14:36] ---**
You will obtain it. I'm sure of it.
**[14:38] ---**
Whatever happens, for your sake,
Vetti-sama, we will get that technology.
**[14:46] ---**
You guys sure do like to
increase your territory, huh?
**[14:50] ---**
It's not as simple as just that.
**[14:52] ---**
We have to make her believe that
it would be worth it to deal with us.
**[14:57] ---**
Her? She's a woman?
**[15:00] ---**
Yeah, haven't you heard of her?
B.B. of Bardeaux.
**[15:03] ---**
Nope.
**[15:05] ---**
B.B. once backed up Vetti financially,
during the era of the Allied Nobility.
**[15:10] ---**
Which is to say, she was his patron.
**[15:12] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[15:13] ---**
Hold on, you people!
That is for Michel-sama!
**[15:16] ---**
It's okay, it's not running out.
**[15:18] ---**
Yes, it is!
**[15:20] ---**
Ahem. However, as soon
as Vetti seized power,
**[15:24] ---**
he switched to Gorna
of the Cross-Star religion.
**[15:28] ---**
Yeah, that happens quite often.
**[15:30] ---**
That's awful! What a philanderer!
**[15:33] ---**
Ever since, B.B. has withdrawn
from Vetti's Côte-d'Or,
**[15:37] ---**
and lives in the galaxy's largest
neutral zone, Bardeaux territory,
**[15:41] ---**
as its seigneur.
**[15:42] ---**
If her vast financial means and materials
were to be turned over to Vetti's side,
**[15:48] ---**
the galaxy would fall
completely into Vetti's hands.
**[15:50] ---**
That couldn't be possible.
This woman must hate Vetti, right?
**[15:55] ---**
She's not the sort of woman
who acts on such personal feelings.
**[15:59] ---**
She has survived the continual
strife of the universe.
**[16:03] ---**
She is indeed a distinguished person.
**[16:06] ---**
So that's it. I can't wait
to meet this woman.
**[16:11] ---**
We of the People's Army have to show B.B.
**[16:15] ---**
that we have the power
to sufficiently hold our own-
**[16:18] ---**
no, that we are able to beat Vetti.
**[16:20] ---**
That is why we have been
increasing our territory.
**[16:24] ---**
In order to liberate the masses
who are suffering under Vetti's rule
**[16:27] ---**
as soon as possible,
**[16:29] ---**
we must not allow these
negotiations with B.B. to fail.
**[16:32] ---**
He'll be coming, too.
**[16:34] ---**
You feel that on the wind?
**[17:00] ---**
Allow me to draw the whole
of that sigh into my breast.
**[17:04] ---**
I have come because I wanted
to ask your forgiveness
**[17:07] ---**
for my rude behavior the other day.
**[17:09] ---**
That was me losing possession
of my faculties over your beauty,
**[17:12] ---**
an expression of my fragile heart.
**[17:14] ---**
Please, I ask but a single word
of your forgiveness.
**[17:17] ---**
How did you get here?
**[17:18] ---**
Embracing the love that
I have for you in my heart,
**[17:21] ---**
I stole my way in under
the cover of night's darkness.
**[17:24] ---**
Perhaps you had my father
conduct you here.
**[17:28] ---**
It would seem that you
misuse your authority.
**[17:31] ---**
If you tell me to cast off my position,
my name, or even my life,
**[17:34] ---**
I would cast them off.
**[17:37] ---**
Right now, I am just a poor man in love.
**[17:41] ---**
I wonder, has untruth become truth?
**[17:48] ---**
There are times when
untruth becomes the truth.
**[17:52] ---**
Untruth... becomes truth?
**[17:59] ---**
Sometimes, fate can be quite generous.
**[18:02] ---**
This world is a lot like that masked ball.
**[18:06] ---**
Even if we lay bare our faces, all of us
wear a heavy mask around our hearts.
**[18:22] ---**
When one offers their
true heart to another,
**[18:24] ---**
they ought remove the mask
around their heart.
**[18:27] ---**
I will be proceeding to B.B.,
of Bardeaux territory, following this.
**[18:32] ---**
Once my negotiations there are concluded,
**[18:34] ---**
I will climb the stairway
to galactic unification.
**[18:37] ---**
For the sake of the galaxy
that we will rule.
**[18:43] ---**
Please wait here for me. I will bring you
a souvenir from Bardeaux territory.
**[18:47] ---**
Until then, I will hold this near
my heart as I sleep, thinking of you.
**[18:54] ---**
Next time, may both of us
remove the masks from our hearts.
**[19:26] ---**
Are you feeling all right?
Space travel can be taxing on the body.
**[19:33] ---**
Do not mention my physical condition
in front of others,
**[19:35] ---**
under any circumstances!
**[19:36] ---**
O- okay. I'm sorry. I'll never speak of it.
**[19:44] ---**
That will do.
**[19:50] ---**
Is it okay if I stay here, in Barotica?
**[19:54] ---**
Suit yourself.
**[19:58] ---**
I will be awaiting your
return here, Vetti-sama.
**[20:09] ---**
How did it go?
**[20:11] ---**
Wonderfully.
**[20:17] ---**
From here, Bardeaux is
a stone's throw away.
**[20:19] ---**
However, many years have passed
**[20:22] ---**
since Your Excellency and B.B.
have had any dealings.
**[20:25] ---**
No need to worry. In the end,
she will choose me.
**[20:53] ---**
Incoming message from one of
the Bardeaux territory patrol ships.
**[20:55] ---**
It says that they will
accompany us to our destination.
**[20:58] ---**
I can see it now.
**[20:59] ---**
It looks cold.
**[21:01] ---**
Hmm, I'm starting to smell their fine wine.
**[21:05] ---**
Michel-sama, have a cup of tea
before you depart.
**[21:08] ---**
I made you some cinnamon ginger,
to warm your body with.
**[21:12] ---**
Mm-hmm, thanks.
**[21:13] ---**
There's an odd wind beginning to blow.
**[21:32] ---**
Your visitors have arrived.
**[21:37] ---**
Looks like there's going to be a snowstorm.
**[21:39] ---**

**[00:18] ---**
Taking up arms,
standing on the battlefield,
**[00:21] ---**
and distinguishing oneself alone
is not the essence of battle.
**[00:26] ---**
In order to survive turbulent times,
words become powerful weapons.
**[00:31] ---**
The resourcefulness to
manipulate truth and falsehood.
**[00:34] ---**
This is yet another weapon.
**[00:38] ---**
Perhaps it is not the powerful
whose names are left to history,
**[00:41] ---**
but those who pace about with wisdom.
**[00:55] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*

even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:16] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:23] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:25] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:27] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:28] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:32] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:38] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:45] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:51] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:17] ---**
Michel-sama, return to us safely.
**[02:20] ---**
Return to us safely.
**[02:23] ---**
We extend a heartfelt welcome
to you on your visit to our territory.
**[02:27] ---**
I shall escort you to
the Duchess of Bardeaux.
**[02:32] ---**
Thank you. Very well then...
**[02:35] ---**
I am most grateful.
**[02:37] ---**
I will be taking charge of
your companion's side arm, as well.
**[02:41] ---**
What's going on here?
**[02:43] ---**
I told you, Bardeaux territory is
a neutral zone. Disarmament is the rule here.
**[02:53] ---**
Hold it!
**[02:54] ---**
Just try to lay a finger on my ship.
You guys will be dead.
**[02:59] ---**
Cleo!
**[03:00] ---**
this ship will be placed under our control.
**[03:06] ---**
Your swords and your ship
will be returned to you
**[03:08] ---**
once all of your business
in this territory is finished,
**[03:12] ---**
so please give your consent.
**[03:44] ---**
Before long, a great war
is going to break out.
**[03:47] ---**
My word. How would you know this?
**[03:50] ---**
Because the People's Army
does not desire peace.
**[03:53] ---**
My, how frightful.
**[03:56] ---**
Yes, they truly are a frightful lot.
You probably do not know this,
**[04:02] ---**
but their violence is
increasing steadily every day.
**[04:07] ---**
They are commandeering territorial ships
one after the next,
**[04:09] ---**
taking them over by force.
**[04:12] ---**
To the people, they are
an object of terror.
**[04:15] ---**
This is something that I cannot
overlook as the Holy Emperor,
**[04:18] ---**
so I have delegated Admiral Gerald,
**[04:19] ---**
distinguished for having
once led the Invincible Armada,
**[04:23] ---**
to serve as my ace in the hole.
**[04:26] ---**
Admiral Gerald is a man who
has made great contributions...
**[04:31] ---**
...since His Excellency Vetti
was made Holy Emperor.
**[04:33] ---**
My, how auspicious.
**[04:48] ---**
Violent resistance is easy to
anticipate from the People's Army.
**[04:52] ---**
Even if you were to use your neutrality
as a shield to avoid the flames of war,
**[04:56] ---**
can your safety really be assured?
**[04:58] ---**
It is easy to escape
the flames of war, Vetti.
**[05:03] ---**
You people need only refrain from fighting.
**[05:07] ---**
That will not be possible.
**[05:11] ---**
Would you please excuse yourselves
for a moment?
**[05:21] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
**[05:23] ---**
The Duchess of Bardeaux will see you now.
**[06:00] ---**
It is a pleasure to finally meet you.
My name is Michel Volban.
**[06:04] ---**
This is Hector, and this is Cleo.
**[06:14] ---**
These are some of the seafood products
**[06:15] ---**
which can only be found
in the lakes of Cavell territory.
**[06:19] ---**
We have brought them with us,
**[06:20] ---**
hoping that they are to
the Duchess of Bardeaux's taste.
**[06:23] ---**
I do not partake of anything
that reeks of fish.
**[06:29] ---**
It appears to me that
the Duchess of Bardeaux
**[06:33] ---**
is still being persnickety about the past.
**[06:34] ---**
Excellency, what do you think?
**[06:36] ---**
The aroma of Cassis,
chocolate, and plums...
**[06:42] ---**
Their scent lingers for a long time.
**[06:45] ---**
Excellency?
**[06:47] ---**
She's just trying to jack up her price.
**[06:51] ---**
We cannot bear to overlook
the penury of the people any longer.
**[06:55] ---**
In order for us to overthrow
the tyranny of the Holy Emperor,
**[06:58] ---**
we would like to ask for
the Duchess of Bardeaux's support.
**[07:06] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux,
please give us your assistance.
**[07:08] ---**
If war does break out, it is likely
that you will not remain unharmed.
**[07:13] ---**
I beg of you, please lend your
support to the People's Army.
**[07:18] ---**
Can you look upon the current state
of the galaxy and think nothing of it?
**[07:22] ---**
If you will give us your cooperation,
we would consider rewarding you suitably.
**[07:30] ---**
I hear you got dumped by Vetti, huh?
**[07:38] ---**
You keep a straight face,
**[07:39] ---**
but when it's all said and done,
you got dumped by a man, didn't you?
**[07:42] ---**
Cleo!
**[07:43] ---**
This is no time to be bringing that up!
**[07:46] ---**
All controlling rights and interests
over the trade zones.
**[07:52] ---**
You want to defeat the
Holy Emperor's forces, don't you?
**[07:56] ---**
Would you concede that?
**[07:58] ---**
You said it, huh?
**[08:00] ---**
Hey, she's taking advantage
of your position.
**[08:04] ---**
Sure, you can have them.
**[08:06] ---**
Cleo-san!
**[08:07] ---**
My, what a wonderful answer.
**[08:11] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux,
please excuse us for a moment.
**[08:14] ---**
In the meantime, we ask that we
be allowed to put off our response.
**[08:19] ---**
Come on!
**[08:21] ---**
I do not mind. I will be expecting
a favorable answer when you return.
**[08:48] ---**
What the hell are you thinking?!
**[08:51] ---**
This is going nowhere.
**[08:52] ---**
For all of your trying to sound her out,
she's just black-hearted.
**[08:56] ---**
There are other merchants,
and they won't put up with it!
**[09:00] ---**
Then you can just create
new trade zones, can't you?
**[09:04] ---**
It's not that easy!
**[09:06] ---**
No, there is some merit to
what Cleo-san is saying.
**[09:11] ---**
If someone as influential
as B.B. sides with us,
**[09:14] ---**
many other aristocrats
will view B.B.'s decision
**[09:17] ---**
as a shift in the balance of power
in the universe.
**[09:19] ---**
What, it's a numbers game again?
**[09:22] ---**
Michel, under the circumstances,
let's accept any conditions she offers.
**[09:26] ---**
Our goal is to attain victory over
the Holy Emperor's forces, is it not?
**[09:38] ---**
This year's grape crop is not that good.
**[09:45] ---**
I can't have a war breaking out
on top of that.
**[09:51] ---**
The People's Army is the culprit behind it.
There is only one way to prevent war,
**[09:57] ---**
and that is to ally yourself with us.
**[09:59] ---**
Our overwhelming force will
serve as a deterrent to war.
**[10:04] ---**
What you want is my name
and my money. Speak plainly.
**[10:10] ---**
What we want is more than that.
**[10:13] ---**
Such as?
**[10:14] ---**
Peace.
**[10:22] ---**
Oh my goodness,
for you to say such a word!
**[10:27] ---**
I wonder if next year's crop
will be poor, too!
**[10:31] ---**
It is no laughing matter.
**[10:34] ---**
My, how rude of me.
**[10:36] ---**
Still, Vetti, if Bardeaux were to side
with the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[10:41] ---**
what would be in it for me?
**[10:43] ---**
As I said, under the protection
of the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[10:47] ---**
--your position would be-
**[10:47] ---**
--Oh, I'm sorry.
**[10:49] ---**
Perhaps that was too difficult
for you to understand.
**[10:53] ---**
Will you arrange for
anything that I want?
**[10:57] ---**
Very well, whatever you wish.
**[11:00] ---**
Really?
**[11:08] ---**
You there, cut off Vetti's head
for me, right here and now.
**[11:17] ---**
Just kidding! I don't even want it!
**[11:20] ---**
How about this?
**[11:22] ---**
Bardeaux territory is neutral,
and the largest trading power.
**[11:27] ---**
What if we offered you the expediency...
**[11:29] ---**
...of being the sole purveyor of
Bardeaux wine for the Holy Emperor?
**[11:31] ---**
All controlling rights and
interests over the trade zones.
**[11:35] ---**
You are asking too much.
**[11:37] ---**
In that case, we have
nothing more to discuss.
**[11:40] ---**
May we ask you to postpone your decision?
We will return to Côte-d'Or,
**[11:44] ---**
and offer our response
after consultation there.
**[11:46] ---**
The Emperor himself is here,
**[11:49] ---**
yet you haven't the authority
to give me an immediate answer?
**[11:55] ---**
See our guests off.
**[11:58] ---**
I will go consider your request
in the next room.
**[12:23] ---**
All rights and interests will
belong to Bardeaux territory.
**[12:27] ---**
If we are in agreement,
then sign the entente.
**[12:47] ---**
Please wait here for me. I will bring you
a souvenir from Bardeaux territory.
**[12:52] ---**
Until then, I will hold this near my heart
as I sleep, thinking of you.
**[13:14] ---**
I wish you victory. May good fortune
be visited upon us both this day.
**[13:21] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[13:23] ---**
Have you considered any other means
besides going to war?
**[13:27] ---**
Huh?
**[13:29] ---**
Of course we have.
**[13:31] ---**
War does nothing but consume,
and is grossly unproductive.
**[13:37] ---**
You are quite correct.
**[13:39] ---**
Normally, seeking for peaceful paths,
and not relying on force,
**[13:44] ---**
is the duty that we who lead
the People's Army consider at all times.
**[13:48] ---**
However, there is also something to be lost
**[13:51] ---**
by resigning oneself
to a life of blasé peace.
**[13:53] ---**
The words of those who choose war
are the same, in any age.
**[13:58] ---**
Do you deny our need to go to war?
**[14:01] ---**
No, it is just amusing how similar
your respective assertions are.
**[14:07] ---**
Our respective?
**[14:09] ---**
Then someone else has
already contacted you-
**[14:12] ---**
someone with the same goal.
**[14:14] ---**
It's Vetti, isn't it?!
**[14:15] ---**
Stop, Cleo!
**[14:16] ---**
I must feed my people as well.
**[14:20] ---**
My only interest is in which faction
will be more beneficial to me.
**[14:25] ---**
If you wish to go to war, then so be it.
**[14:27] ---**
However, if any harm
comes to my vineyards...
**[14:31] ---**
...that's when you should say your prayers.
**[14:36] ---**
Well then, have a pleasant day.
**[14:39] ---**
Hold up.
**[14:41] ---**
What did Vetti say to you?
**[14:44] ---**
Cleo!
**[14:45] ---**
You seem to be quite obsessed
with Vetti Sforza. Why might that be?
**[14:51] ---**
I don't know. He just makes my blood boil.
**[14:56] ---**
My, how wonderful.
**[14:57] ---**
You'll understand for yourself
if you ever cross swords with him.
**[15:01] ---**
What would you like to
do with Vetti Sforza?
**[15:05] ---**
Settle our score.
**[15:07] ---**
Is that all?
**[15:08] ---**
Yeah, that's all.
**[15:10] ---**
Ah... that is all...
**[15:14] ---**
Monsieur Volban, you have
a fascinating partner there.
**[15:20] ---**
I beg you,
**[15:22] ---**
please marry Vetti-sama.
**[15:25] ---**
I am not foolish enough
to exchange vows with a clown.
**[15:30] ---**
Vetti-sama is not a clown!
**[15:33] ---**
Oh, dear. Are you okay?
**[15:36] ---**
I'm fine.
**[15:39] ---**
There are those who express their love
the way that Vetti-sama does.
**[15:43] ---**
What are you to him?
**[15:46] ---**
What I am doesn't matter.
**[15:48] ---**
Vetti-sama needs you.
**[15:52] ---**
Why?
**[15:54] ---**
Well, it's...
**[15:56] ---**
Tell me why.
**[15:59] ---**
Because I'm... not good enough...
**[16:02] ---**
You love him, don't you?
**[16:05] ---**
You're not being honest with yourself.
**[16:09] ---**
Please, agree to marry Vetti-sama.
**[16:13] ---**
I'm sure that you will come to know
Vetti-sama's magnificence, too.
**[16:17] ---**
Sometimes, love begins once you are wed.
**[16:21] ---**
I'm sorry for intruding.
**[16:34] ---**
Will you join me in a toast?
**[16:36] ---**
To... what?
**[16:38] ---**
Something wonderful has happened,
though I cannot tell you about it.
**[16:47] ---**
You mean that someone
has met your asking price.
**[16:52] ---**
Perhaps.
**[16:53] ---**
Perchance, the next thing you will
be drinking is the wine of blood.
**[17:01] ---**
I look forward to it, but it couldn't
possibly compare to Bardeaux wine.
**[17:17] ---**
Excellency!
**[17:18] ---**
Please stop, Your Excellency!
**[17:24] ---**
My guests will be leaving now.
Well then, have a pleasant day.
**[19:12] ---**
I have resigned myself to the fact
that I will receive criticism
**[19:15] ---**
that this is a political marriage.
**[19:17] ---**
I do understand your feelings of hesitation
about entering into a loveless marriage.
**[19:23] ---**
Then why are you so desirous that
I should marry the Holy Emperor?
**[19:29] ---**
Because your happiness
**[19:30] ---**
is connected to the happiness
of the universe as a whole.
**[19:34] ---**
My happiness?
**[19:37] ---**
There are two kinds of leaders
who guide their people.
**[19:40] ---**
Once kind exercises authority over them.
**[19:43] ---**
The other is the kind that
bolsters the souls of the people
**[19:46] ---**
through their teachings, or prayer.
**[19:48] ---**
When these two elements become one,
**[19:52] ---**
the lives and souls of the people
are watched over.
**[19:55] ---**
Once you wed the Holy Emperor,
and obtain an unwavering happiness,
**[20:00] ---**
you will be doing no less than looking after
every living being in the universe.
**[20:06] ---**
In my responsibilities
and duties as the one
**[20:08] ---**
who presides over the Cross-Star religion,
**[20:11] ---**
I must ensure that my own parental
desires for my daughter's happiness...
**[20:15] ---**
...are linked to the well-being
of the entire universe.
**[20:19] ---**
However, there is one thing
that I know for certain.
**[20:23] ---**
And that is that I love my daughter,
**[20:25] ---**
and that I am a faint-hearted father,
who wants his daughter to be happy.
**[20:31] ---**
I hope that you at least
understand my hope for you.
**[20:40] ---**
We have sighted red fireworks
from His Excellency Vetti's ship.
**[20:45] ---**
So the negotiations have
ended in failure, have they?
**[20:49] ---**
In that case, how about we launch a strike
against them for everything we're worth?
**[21:14] ---**
You never change, huh, my boy?
**[21:16] ---**
It's an attack!
The vineyards have been lost!
**[21:19] ---**
What could be going on?
**[21:21] ---**
Now you've done it, haven't you, Vetti-san?
**[21:26] ---**
He's broken the neutral zone accords!
The Holy Emperor, of all people!
**[21:38] ---**
They sure are a crafty bunch, huh?
**[21:40] ---**
"Like a Demon"

*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[21:54] ---**
*where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[22:00] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:06] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:11] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:14] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:20] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:25] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:31] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:37] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:42] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*

I probably wouldn't care.*

*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*

*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:14] ---**
A mask over the heart
comes loose and falls.

What is it that the young lady
from the Cross-Star religion,
**[23:18] ---**
with the finely honed
claws of desire, will witness?

Everyone has to follow
laws that are immutable
**[00:20] ---**
in order to bring
completion to their lives.
**[00:23] ---**
Everyone has to connect with
those who wander and are lost,
**[00:28] ---**
to be of some help to them.
**[00:31] ---**
To those of you who are lost,
**[00:33] ---**
even if your body and soul are torn apart,
and you are drenched in tears of disgrace,
**[00:38] ---**
remain kind and high-minded.
**[00:41] ---**
People are the only ones who can
make possible the impossible,
**[00:44] ---**
and make a single moment last forever.

even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:20] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*

*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*

**[02:11] ---**
As we expected,
by drawing B.B. to our side,
**[02:14] ---**
we are starting to win over the
other powerful aristocrats as well.
**[02:18] ---**
Already, Gevrey, Mésoc,
and Roquelle have taken up with us.
**[02:22] ---**
In addition, Bergeron, l'Arzelle,
and Laurent are planning to join our side.
**[02:28] ---**
That is encouraging.
**[02:30] ---**
But it still is not enough.
**[02:32] ---**
You're right. If our total military force
accounts for 30%, Vetti's side is at 60%.
**[02:38] ---**
So if we get the remaining undecided
forces on our side, it will be 40-60, huh?
**[02:43] ---**
This is worthless.
**[02:44] ---**
What was that?
**[02:45] ---**
War is not fought by numbers.
**[02:48] ---**
That certainly is true. But we still
have a trump card. Isn't that right?
**[02:56] ---**
Besides, if we increase
our military strength,
**[02:58] ---**
we may be able to reach
a compromise with the enemy.
**[03:01] ---**
If we can attain our objective
without going to war, then-
**[03:04] ---**
Are you going on about that again?
**[03:05] ---**
There's no way those guys
are going to fold without a fight!
**[03:08] ---**
Yeah, the important thing is
the morale of the individual soldiers.
**[03:13] ---**
Well, you don't have to worry about that.
Our enemy is Vetti, a typical aristocrat.
**[03:18] ---**
The seigneurs who just came over to
our side are aristocrats, aren't they?
**[03:23] ---**
We all know that without you
having to point it out to us!
**[03:26] ---**
What is it with you lately?
Everything you've been saying is negative.
**[03:34] ---**
Again?!
**[03:36] ---**
You keep going like this,
and you're going to lose.
**[03:40] ---**
What was that? Hey!
**[03:43] ---**
We can't fight alongside him like this.
**[03:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:56] ---**
What is it?
**[03:58] ---**
It's Gerald's fleet,
of the Holy Emperor's forces.
**[04:01] ---**
What?! But we're nearly to
Cavell territory. Can't we get away?!
**[04:05] ---**
We are completely surrounded.
**[04:16] ---**
Gentlemen, now is the time to show the
true power of the Holy Emperor's forces.
**[04:22] ---**
All ships, prepare for battle!
**[04:34] ---**
They're signaling surrender!
**[04:36] ---**
Cowards. There is no place for
turncoats like you to go home to.
**[04:41] ---**
Fire!
**[04:48] ---**
The 1st and 2nd fleets,
as well as our territorial battleship,
**[04:51] ---**
have lost the capacity to fight!
**[04:54] ---**
Why that Vetti! Is he out
to make an example of us?!
**[04:59] ---**
What? Duke Gevrey has been...
**[05:02] ---**
Word about us couldn't
have leaked out, could it?
**[05:04] ---**
Spies?!
**[05:05] ---**
That couldn't be right.
**[05:08] ---**
Are the other territorial ships all right?
**[05:10] ---**
I'll try contacting them immediately.
**[05:12] ---**
But until all of the territorial ships
have come together, we can't move, either.
**[06:13] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[06:36] ---**
Rachel-sama!
**[06:54] ---**
Your precious dress will be ruined.
**[06:57] ---**
I am washing my impure soul
clean in this rain.
**[07:02] ---**
I am honored. However,
jealousy is not an impurity.
**[07:08] ---**
You have far too high
an opinion of yourself!
**[07:10] ---**
We shall never meet again.
**[07:16] ---**
Let go of me!
**[07:18] ---**
Have you ever been moist
with tears of shame?
**[07:22] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[07:23] ---**
There isn't a single person
who is without impurity.
**[07:29] ---**
This rain...
**[07:32] ---**
I was once left out overnight
in the freezing rain.
**[07:40] ---**
It was when I was seven. I was
thrown out into the sleet and rain,
**[07:46] ---**
and what greeted me the next morning,
as I was numb with cold,
**[07:51] ---**
was a bowl of hot soup,
and an unsettling smile from my father.
**[07:56] ---**
Go ahead, eat it.
**[08:02] ---**
Go on. It will warm you up.
**[08:10] ---**
You're lying! Why would
you say such a thing?
**[08:13] ---**
Yes, how much better it would be
if it was just a lie...
**[08:19] ---**
Let me go!
**[08:21] ---**
Why don't you try taking off
the mask around your heart?
**[08:26] ---**
In the previous war,
where the royal family was put down,
**[08:29] ---**
I was at the point of death
when I was taken in.
**[08:32] ---**
But my foster parents
were complex people,
**[08:34] ---**
who lived together with love and hatred.
**[08:42] ---**
It's your own fault for being so pretty.
**[08:45] ---**
Your eyes... your mouth... your nose...
**[08:48] ---**
Everything that makes up
your form gets me agitated!
**[09:16] ---**
Huh? No!
**[09:19] ---**
Who do you have to thank
for even being alive right now?!
**[09:35] ---**
At the time, I was starved for love,
no matter what form it took on.
**[09:41] ---**
That's obscene!
**[09:43] ---**
You should have chosen death,
rather than experience such humiliation!
**[09:47] ---**
Death comes upon all of us at some time.
**[09:50] ---**
What sense is there
to hurry to one's death?
**[09:53] ---**
You can maintain your pride.
**[09:55] ---**
True pride is to subject your partner
to the same humiliation.
**[10:02] ---**
What I require is power. The pride
and pretense that you wrap yourself in-
**[10:07] ---**
they are made possible by the power that
your father, Pope Gorna, has, aren't they?
**[10:12] ---**
How rude!
**[10:15] ---**
Pardon my continued disrespect.
**[10:29] ---**
I hated both the weakness of the royal
family, whom my real father served,
**[10:34] ---**
and the weakness of my father,
putting me in that situation.
**[10:40] ---**
At times like that, the only thing
you can count on is power.
**[10:44] ---**
Don't you think so, my princess?
**[10:59] ---**
No, Vetti! I am your mother!
**[11:03] ---**
But I seek to have you.
**[11:07] ---**
Yes, as do you.
**[11:15] ---**
I'll scream.
**[11:17] ---**
Feel free. That's what she said, too.
**[11:23] ---**
Rachel, have you ever killed
someone with your own hands?
**[11:52] ---**
C- call a doctor... quickly!
**[11:55] ---**
This is your own fault,
for neglecting me so much.
**[12:01] ---**
It's undignified to beg for your life.
**[12:05] ---**
Suffering is pleasure.
You're the one who taught me that.
**[12:11] ---**
My, Vincent, what a funny face
to be dying with!
**[12:29] ---**
This will be our last embrace, Mother.
**[12:56] ---**
Having already been an orphan, that is
how I took over the house of Sforza.
**[13:02] ---**
Let me go! I've had enough!
**[13:04] ---**
After that, I switched
to several other patrons,
**[13:07] ---**
and then approached B.B.,
the Empress of the Allied Nobility.
**[13:12] ---**
She came sidling up to me
like she was a bitch in heat.
**[13:17] ---**
How vulgar!
**[13:18] ---**
After expanding my power with the help
of B.B., I was finally approached...
**[13:24] ---**
...by the 246th pope of
the Cross-Star religion.
**[13:29] ---**
My father?
**[13:35] ---**
In exchange for putting down
the Allied Nobility,
**[13:38] ---**
who were not active in
spreading the Cross-Star religion,
**[13:41] ---**
Pope Gorna promised me
vast financial support.
**[13:46] ---**
I cast aside B.B., and as I promised
your father, I crushed the Allied Nobility.
**[13:52] ---**
All in order to obtain power.
**[13:55] ---**
Why do you want power so badly?!
**[13:58] ---**
Take a look at those flower petals.
**[14:02] ---**
Even when a rose's blossom
scatters into nothing but petals,
**[14:05] ---**
even though they become covered in mud,
they by no means lose any of their pride.
**[14:13] ---**
You are the same. Even covered with mud,
you remain dignified and proud,
**[14:19] ---**
not seeking to curry favor with others.
**[14:21] ---**
"When the end comes,
a two-headed eagle will be born.
**[14:24] ---**
One will be clad in armor of iron,
one shall become a god of love.
**[14:30] ---**
In time, the two will become one,
and thou shalt unite the galaxy."
**[14:36] ---**
There is no one other than myself who can
unite the galaxy, and save its lost people.
**[14:43] ---**
Your cooperation will make that possible.
**[14:46] ---**
However long and steep the way
may be, I can overcome it with you.
**[14:52] ---**
I want to walk that steep and
shining road together with you.
**[15:02] ---**
Ever since I was born
the daughter of the Pope,
**[15:05] ---**
I have been on an inescapable path.
**[15:09] ---**
It feels like now, you are showing me
a light at the end of that path.
**[15:15] ---**
If you say that you must walk along this
thorny path in order to attain that light,
**[15:20] ---**
then I will walk it with you.
**[15:22] ---**
Rachel...
**[15:23] ---**
However...
**[15:26] ---**
There will be no love.
**[15:30] ---**
I will only assist you in subjugating
the universe by uniting the galaxy,
**[15:35] ---**
to save its people.
**[15:37] ---**
Such an honest lady.
However, as I have said before,
**[15:43] ---**
there are times when
untruth becomes truth.
**[15:47] ---**
Someday, I will change your
false love into a true one.
**[15:58] ---**
He really is using her as just a tool.
**[16:01] ---**
Just a tool...
**[16:16] ---**
You will be next, Michel.
**[16:26] ---**
Something the matter?
**[16:28] ---**
Nothing at all.
**[16:29] ---**
You're not very chipper, are you?
**[16:31] ---**
That's how it goes.
**[16:32] ---**
You're bored, aren't you?
**[16:34] ---**
Not really.
**[16:37] ---**
They say another territorial ship
will be linking up soon.
**[16:42] ---**
Flying around wherever they feel like it...
**[16:45] ---**
I'm not very good
working in a group, either.
**[16:49] ---**
But what other choice do I have?
This is all to take over the world, right?
**[16:53] ---**
You've grown up real good, huh?
**[16:56] ---**
Am I sexy?
**[16:58] ---**
What's your deal?!
I'm worrying about you here!
**[17:04] ---**
I'm waiting.
**[17:06] ---**
What for?
**[17:08] ---**
The wind.
**[17:14] ---**
Stop that, you idiot! Not that wind!
**[17:21] ---**
Please forgive me! I was
only talked into it by B.B.!
**[17:26] ---**
So, which territorial ships have gone over?
**[17:28] ---**
Mésoc, Roquelle, Bergeron,
l'Arzelle, and Laurent.
**[17:33] ---**
Five of them? Hmm, and if you
include Bardeaux, that makes six.
**[17:37] ---**
More importantly, Your Excellency,
he has given us some valuable testimony.
**[17:42] ---**
The location of Cavell territory.
**[17:44] ---**
We can hit them now,
before they can move,
**[17:46] ---**
while they are waiting for the other
territorial ships to join them.
**[17:49] ---**
That is my gift to you,
Your Excellency! Please... please!
**[17:54] ---**
I am grateful for it.
However, you are an eyesore.
**[17:58] ---**
S- stop! Spare me! Please!
**[18:02] ---**
No! I don't want to be purged!
**[18:10] ---**
It is within sight.
**[18:11] ---**
With this engagement, we can bring an end
to our battles with the People's Army.
**[18:15] ---**
Then, Excellency...
**[18:17] ---**
Prepare for war.
**[18:18] ---**
--Yes, sir.
**[18:18] ---**
--Yes, sir.
**[18:24] ---**
Things sure are slow.
**[18:31] ---**
What is with that Eimer?
**[18:37] ---**
What's this?
**[18:40] ---**
I say, for Gevrey territory to be
taken as easily as it was...
**[18:44] ---**
This Admiral Gerald is no ordinary leader.
**[18:49] ---**
There is no reason to panic.
**[18:52] ---**
The pair of Vosne and Garuche have
just promised to take our side.
**[18:57] ---**
That is welcome news.
**[18:59] ---**
Still, there is no guarantee
anywhere that it will allow us to win.
**[19:04] ---**
Naturally, which is precisely
why we are holding this briefing.
**[19:07] ---**
Now that we have turned
against that intolerable urchin,
**[19:10] ---**
we must make sure that the
People's Army beats him for us.
**[19:13] ---**
Just a moment! You guys
are going to fight, too!
**[19:16] ---**
We are patrons to the end.
**[19:18] ---**
It is the People's Army who will fight.
**[19:21] ---**
That's not what we agreed to!
**[19:23] ---**
Of course, we will
furnish you with weapons.
**[19:25] ---**
However, we refuse to be
on the front lines.
**[19:28] ---**
We have sided with you in order to
avoid fighting. That's all there is to it.
**[19:32] ---**
Don't give me that self-serving nonsense!
**[19:35] ---**
This is awkward...
**[19:36] ---**
Perhaps there has been
some misunderstanding.
**[19:39] ---**
Are we no more than a mob after all?
**[19:43] ---**
The wind is blowing.
**[19:44] ---**
What?
**[19:46] ---**
I just deciphered a coded message.
**[19:48] ---**
The Holy Emperor's forces
are headed this way.
**[19:51] ---**
It is not yet time for war! How were
they able to pinpoint this location?
**[19:56] ---**
It was Lord Rainis. No doubt
he must have told them.
**[20:00] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:03] ---**
I'm going.
**[20:04] ---**
Wait! What are you planning to do?!
**[20:07] ---**
Isn't that obvious? I'm going
to settle the score with him.
**[20:11] ---**
This battle is going to be an all-out war.
**[20:13] ---**
I must have you refrain
from acting on your own.
**[20:15] ---**
I will do whatever I want to.
**[20:18] ---**
Why, you! Enough, already!
**[20:20] ---**
Yeah! What do you think
you can do by yourself?!
**[20:24] ---**
Take over the world.
**[20:26] ---**
Yeah, go take it over for us!
**[20:28] ---**
Huh?
**[20:30] ---**
Even if you defeat Vetti himself,
it will be meaningless if we lose the war.
**[20:34] ---**
Now that you've said you're
going to take over the world,
**[20:36] ---**
we're going to have you
lead us to victory in this fight!
**[20:38] ---**
Fine. But I'm not
letting you get in my way.
**[20:52] ---**
Is something the matter?
What brings you here?
**[20:55] ---**
How is the prisoner doing?
**[20:59] ---**
Once I have defeated the People's Army,
that is when I will exchange vows with you.
**[21:04] ---**
May you be victorious in battle.
**[21:09] ---**
We will pick this up
when you return triumphant.
**[21:32] ---**
Come quickly, Cleo.
**[21:34] ---**
Just you wait, Vetti. This time,
I will make a bloodbath of you.
**[21:39] ---**
"Like a Hungry Wolf"
**[21:48] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[21:54] ---**
*where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[21:59] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:05] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:10] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:13] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:20] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:25] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:31] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:36] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:42] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[22:48] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[22:53] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[22:59] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:14] ---**
The battle has gotten underway.
**[23:17] ---**
With the fate of the galaxy at stake,
**[23:18] ---**
the fangs of lost sheep
give off fierce sparks.
**[23:22] ---**
Next time on Glass Fleet,
"Like the Setting Sun"
**[23:25] ---**
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.

**[00:16] ---**
That day, the galaxy was
bathed with the reddest blood.
**[00:20] ---**
What was it that we were searching for?
What was it that we sought?
**[00:25] ---**
Ultimately, were we after nothing more
than our own selfish interests?
**[00:31] ---**
My friends, live on! Continue to sing!
**[00:36] ---**
Though you may disappear
into the flotsam of space,
**[00:38] ---**
as long as there is life,
your pearls will shine.
**[00:42] ---**
And someday, I will embrace
their light to my heart.
**[00:58] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:05] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:12] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:19] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:26] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:30] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:31] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:34] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:41] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:48] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:54] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:15] ---**
*We will go*
**[02:26] ---**
*to the Black Cross*
**[02:34] ---**
It's quiet, huh?
**[02:36] ---**
And yet the storms of
destruction are about to rage.
**[02:38] ---**
*to our God*
**[02:39] ---**
Yes.
**[02:40] ---**
But I like this calm before the storm.
**[02:50] ---**
*who gives us joy*
**[02:51] ---**
We will be in firing range momentarily.
**[02:58] ---**
Commence fire!
**[03:03] ---**
Here they come!
**[03:04] ---**
This is it, gentlemen!
**[03:06] ---**
We may fall short
of being saints of peace,
**[03:08] ---**
but at least be warriors for peace!
**[03:19] ---**
The way you subjugate by force...
**[03:22] ---**
You are the same as ever, Gerald.
**[03:27] ---**
Here we go!
**[03:30] ---**
Roger!
**[03:31] ---**
Now!
**[03:32] ---**
Spread out on either side!
**[03:40] ---**
A textbook move, huh?
**[03:42] ---**
Pay no heed! Break through their center!
**[03:56] ---**
It was a cunning maneuver. However,
**[04:00] ---**
you have left your stronghold wide open.
**[04:09] ---**
What's going on?!
**[04:10] ---**
There's a battleship coming in
from above at tremendous speed!
**[04:20] ---**
Don't sell the royal family's
secret technologies short!
**[04:29] ---**
So you've come, glass battleship!
**[04:32] ---**
Go, high-mobility squadron!
**[04:46] ---**
Pesky bunch, aren't they?
**[04:48] ---**
It's a new model. They're fast.
**[04:49] ---**
Ha! You want to test
your speed against us, do you?
**[05:02] ---**
Swing us around.
**[05:04] ---**
Swinging around!
**[05:14] ---**
You're mine!
**[05:28] ---**
They're reading our track!
**[05:30] ---**
And we see through theirs, as well.
**[05:31] ---**
I thank you for this chance
to restore my honor!
**[05:45] ---**
Now they're coming straight at us.
**[05:48] ---**
Finish it in one shot.
**[05:49] ---**
Very well!
**[05:59] ---**
They were loaded with explosives?!
**[06:04] ---**
Suicide run!
**[06:08] ---**
Maximum speed. Ram them.
**[06:19] ---**
The high-mobility squadron
has been wiped out.
**[06:27] ---**
So they're stronger
than was reported, are they?
**[06:31] ---**
Send the pursuit squadrons!
Keep the glass battleship bottled up!
**[07:06] ---**
The high-mobility squadron
has been wiped out.
**[07:09] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[07:11] ---**
I should have expected as much, Cleo.
**[07:13] ---**
There's no need to panic.
Victory is within sight.
**[07:20] ---**
Do not be flustered
by the glass battleship.
**[07:22] ---**
The enemy's goal is to upset us.
**[07:25] ---**
Maintain a heavy barrage,
and do not let them get near Côte-d'Or.
**[07:30] ---**
The left wing is being pushed back!
**[07:33] ---**
Do we send reinforcements?!
**[07:34] ---**
I will go! You take it from here.
**[07:36] ---**
Yeah!
**[07:38] ---**
Men! The future of the
People's Army rests in our hands!
**[07:42] ---**
With this battle, we're going
to win our freedom!
**[07:47] ---**
God of the Black Cross,
**[07:49] ---**
please preserve Michel-sama's life.
**[07:52] ---**
And please lead the
People's Army to victory.
**[07:56] ---**
The 5th and 7th fleets are in retreat.
**[07:59] ---**
The 2nd and 6th fleets have also
lost half of their fighting capacity.
**[08:04] ---**
Looks like this is going to drag on.
**[08:06] ---**
The enemy's resistance appears
to be unexpectedly fierce.
**[08:10] ---**
It's only a matter of time.
**[08:12] ---**
Excellency, even now,
our victory is assured,
**[08:17] ---**
but if the fighting continues like this,
we will have to pay a heavy price.
**[08:22] ---**
What are you trying to say?
**[08:23] ---**
Peace talks?
**[08:25] ---**
I know it is presumptuous of me...
**[08:27] ---**
It's okay. I do not want
a war of attrition, either.
**[08:32] ---**
But will those disorganized populists
respond to negotiations?
**[08:37] ---**
I have a contact.
**[08:38] ---**
Very well. However...
**[08:40] ---**
I will have them turn over Michel,
and this Cleo,
**[08:45] ---**
who claims to be descended
from the royal family.
**[08:46] ---**
No, I will dispose of Cleo.
**[08:51] ---**
Intensify the barrage!
**[08:53] ---**
Overwhelm those maggots!
**[08:56] ---**
We can't take anymore!
**[08:58] ---**
Please withdraw!
**[08:59] ---**
Withdraw? Where are we supposed
to withdraw to in a melee like this?
**[09:05] ---**
My friends, victory is ours!
**[09:09] ---**
It's Michel!
**[09:10] ---**
It's Michel!
**[09:12] ---**
Hector...
**[09:15] ---**
From the Holy Emperor's forces?
**[09:19] ---**
Move it! Move it!
**[09:21] ---**
Sheesh, they keep popping up
one after another.
**[09:24] ---**
The rule of virtue is the road of royalty!
**[09:28] ---**
How long are we going to
play hide-and-seek, Vetti?
**[09:37] ---**
Concentrate all available ships
in the center!
**[09:40] ---**
We're going to be hit by our own allies!
**[09:42] ---**
Theodoric-san...
**[09:43] ---**
Hector? Aren't you
commanding the left wing?
**[09:47] ---**
I've let Michel take over.
More importantly, how goes the battle?
**[09:51] ---**
Not bad.
**[09:52] ---**
That bunch who said they
would only give money to us...
**[09:54] ---**
...got a fire lit under their asses,
and are in there fighting hard.
**[09:57] ---**
But if it keeps going like this,
both sides' forces will be worn down,
**[10:02] ---**
and we will lose our chance for a truce.
**[10:04] ---**
A truce? Don't be absurd!
We're this close to beating them!
**[10:08] ---**
But I have already brought them.
**[10:13] ---**
Y- you're...
**[10:15] ---**
What the hell is this?!
**[10:17] ---**
They say they'd like to make peace.
**[10:19] ---**
Make peace, you say?!
Too late for that now!
**[10:21] ---**
Please wait!
**[10:22] ---**
The nobility have finally said they
would sit at the same table as us!
**[10:28] ---**
Shut up! Move it!
**[10:29] ---**
You may kill me if you want to. However,
**[10:33] ---**
don't you want to stop the fighting?
**[11:06] ---**
Smash them, right down to their souls.
**[11:09] ---**
This moment... will crush... your hearts!
**[11:25] ---**
Is that it?
**[11:27] ---**
I've found him.
**[11:28] ---**
Vetti is on the bridge
of that territorial ship.
**[11:31] ---**
But there are some pests in the way.
**[11:33] ---**
Dropkick them.
**[11:34] ---**
You got it!
**[11:35] ---**
Dropkicking them means...
**[11:37] ---**
...to drop them... and kick them!
**[11:43] ---**
Michel!
**[11:44] ---**
Theodoric is requesting you to return!
**[11:46] ---**
What?!
**[11:51] ---**
Cleo!
**[12:12] ---**
You're relatively well-prepared, huh?
**[12:14] ---**
For our part, we are prepared to
loosen the aristocratic structure
**[12:19] ---**
throughout the galaxy, as you wish.
**[12:22] ---**
When they're just words,
you can say anything you like!
**[12:24] ---**
These peace treaty documents are official.
**[12:28] ---**
Not even the Holy Emperor
can ignore this treaty.
**[12:32] ---**
How much of our wishes
are you going to let pass?
**[12:35] ---**
As it says, we, the executive
officers of the People's Army,
**[12:39] ---**
will all be made officers
in the Holy Emperor's-
**[12:42] ---**
I'm not asking you!
**[12:44] ---**
We will be on equal footing.
**[12:46] ---**
We can sufficiently discuss
what to do about the galaxy
**[12:50] ---**
after we have made peace.
**[12:52] ---**
That clause is already written
into the treaty. However...
**[12:56] ---**
Michel is to be turned over to us.
**[12:59] ---**
What?!
**[13:01] ---**
It is to attain the goal that we
are after. Michel will understand.
**[13:07] ---**
You should make your decision
as soon as possible.
**[13:11] ---**
W- why, you!
You're conspiring together!
**[13:26] ---**
Pierce their heart.
**[13:28] ---**
All righty!
**[13:32] ---**
Analyzing soleil location...
**[13:35] ---**
Loading coordinates!
**[13:37] ---**
Take this!
**[13:44] ---**
Changeover!
**[14:11] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[14:13] ---**
I've been waiting for this, Cleo.
**[14:24] ---**
Oh, this isn't good...
**[14:37] ---**
They didn't pierce through?!
**[14:40] ---**
Cleo!
**[14:51] ---**
It's no use! We can't move!
**[14:54] ---**
What's going on here?
**[14:56] ---**
It was a trap.
**[14:58] ---**
Vetti analyzed the angle that
we would be charging him from,
**[15:02] ---**
made reinforcements,
and then waited for us.
**[15:05] ---**
That bastard... he knows his
combat pretty well, doesn't he?
**[15:08] ---**
What do we do?
**[15:10] ---**
Message from Michel.
**[15:13] ---**
It says, "I'm right nearby you."
**[15:15] ---**
All right, you guys figure out a way
to get the ship free with Michel.
**[15:21] ---**
Where are you going?!
**[15:24] ---**
I'm going to go settle the score.
**[15:29] ---**
I'm breaking off these negotiations!
**[15:31] ---**
Please wait! Our goal was not to win
in battle, but to abolish aristocratism!
**[15:39] ---**
We're going to win,
and overturn everything!
**[15:41] ---**
We have already achieved victory!
**[15:44] ---**
You are no longer our comrade!
**[15:49] ---**
I can't stand looking at you!
**[15:54] ---**
*We will go*
**[15:56] ---**
This is your... this is your own fault...
**[16:05] ---**
*to the Black Cross*
**[16:09] ---**
Our negotiations are concluded.
**[16:17] ---**
*to our God*
**[16:28] ---**
We finally meet again.
**[16:28] ---**
*who gives us joy*
**[16:30] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[16:40] ---**
*We will go*
**[16:51] ---**
*to the Black Cross*
**[17:03] ---**
*to our God*
**[17:15] ---**
*who gives us joy*
**[17:15] ---**
Clever boy.
**[17:18] ---**
It is something that Conrad
is likely to think up, huh?
**[17:22] ---**
Send a message to the baronage.
**[17:25] ---**
As the God of the Black Cross
has loved me, so have I loved you.
**[17:33] ---**
If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love;
**[17:50] ---**
*We turn to the Lord*
**[17:51] ---**
You are the wind, all right.
**[17:53] ---**
All the wind does is blow through!
**[17:58] ---**
In time, the wind summons the storm!
**[18:02] ---**
Our fighting in this manner
was the destiny of the galaxy!
**[18:02] ---**
*to God, our Lord*
**[18:06] ---**
And my winning is also
the destiny of the galaxy!
**[18:09] ---**
You can not go against destiny!
**[18:12] ---**
Enough of your lip!
**[18:17] ---**
*to the Black Cross*
**[18:18] ---**
There are things in this galaxy, Vetti,
**[18:20] ---**
that you would find unthinkable
with your philosophy.
**[18:29] ---**
I've been waiting for this strike!
**[18:53] ---**
You lose, Vetti.
**[18:57] ---**
I will take your head now.
**[19:00] ---**
I am the one standing on top.
I am number one!
**[19:12] ---**
...even as I have kept the
God of the Black Cross' commandments,
**[19:16] ---**
and abide in His love.
**[19:20] ---**
Destiny is a pitiless thing.
**[19:23] ---**
It chooses who will win, and who will not;
who may be overlord, and who may not.
**[19:30] ---**
You will never be able to defeat me.
**[19:34] ---**
I am the one and only
overlord of the galaxy!
**[19:43] ---**
Looks like the wind did
not summon the storm, huh?
**[19:54] ---**
Michel!
**[19:56] ---**
Eimer, see to Cleo!
**[19:58] ---**
Right!
**[20:05] ---**
A ceasefire?
**[20:06] ---**
What's going on?
**[20:08] ---**
Damn that Conrad!
**[20:10] ---**
Who needs this?
**[20:20] ---**
Farewell, wind boy.
**[20:29] ---**
The wind is dispersed, and I have you.
This has the makings of a special day.
**[20:36] ---**
There's the ceasefire signal.
**[20:39] ---**
Ceasefire?
**[20:45] ---**
Badat!
**[20:46] ---**
Move quickly!
**[20:57] ---**
Hang in there! We're going
to save you! Count on it!
**[21:01] ---**
There they are!
**[21:39] ---**
"Like the Setting Sun"
**[21:48] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[21:54] ---**
*where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[21:59] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:05] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:11] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:14] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:20] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:25] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:31] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:36] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:42] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[22:48] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[22:53] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[22:59] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:14] ---**
When the wind ceases,
and it becomes quiet,
**[23:17] ---**
a time of new awakenings awaits, as the
twisted threads of fate are untangled.
**[23:22] ---**
Next time on Glass Fleet,
"Like a Labyrinth"
**[23:26] ---**
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.

**[00:19] ---**
When we think about it,
just how long are we destined to wander?
**[00:24] ---**
We despair, then find hope again,
and continue to walk on.
**[00:31] ---**
And when we look back on it,
**[00:33] ---**
it is no more than a momentary
glimmer in the vast flow of time.
**[00:52] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[00:59] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:06] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:13] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:20] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:22] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:24] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:25] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:29] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:35] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:42] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:48] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:04] ---**
I'm sorry, Jean.
**[02:07] ---**
Please do not say a word. I have given
my entire life to the house of Volban.
**[02:12] ---**
I understand what it is
that you are thinking, my lady.
**[02:16] ---**
At least permit your pain
to come from my hand.
**[02:24] ---**
My lady...
**[02:25] ---**
I mean, Michel-sama,
what a gallant figure you cut.
**[02:29] ---**
You truly do. It's like your
brother has come back to life.
**[02:33] ---**
Now, as of this moment,
**[02:35] ---**
I renounce the name Racine,
and will live as Michel Volban.
**[02:40] ---**
Silence! I am...
**[02:44] ---**
...Michel Volban, of the People's Army!
**[02:49] ---**
Crimson Virginia, give me strength!
**[03:00] ---**
W- what is this?
**[03:02] ---**
This is bad! A fleet of the
Holy Emperor's forces is approaching!
**[03:05] ---**
What?!
**[03:15] ---**
Why? Why are they not aiming for my ship?
**[03:19] ---**
The enemy fleet is attempting
to surround our ship.
**[03:23] ---**
So this is the end...
**[03:25] ---**
The People's Army really
does need a savior.
**[03:30] ---**
Not me, a true savior.
**[03:48] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[03:49] ---**
Michel-sama! Are you hurt?
**[03:51] ---**
Never mind me, can we get
any closer to that ship?
**[03:54] ---**
We've finally found our savior!
**[03:58] ---**
Why does this ship bear
the crest of the royal family?
**[04:01] ---**
Because I carry the blood
of the royal family.
**[04:03] ---**
You?
**[04:05] ---**
Is that so strange?
**[04:08] ---**
The royal family was supposed to have
been wiped out over 20 years ago.
**[04:11] ---**
Which is why I'm going to restore it.
**[04:13] ---**
Restore it how?
**[04:14] ---**
Isn't it obvious? I'm going
to take over the world.
**[04:18] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[04:21] ---**
Hey, would you stop
calling me "you" already?
**[04:24] ---**
That's because you
won't tell me your name!
**[04:26] ---**
That was rude of me.
**[04:29] ---**
Remember this. My name is...
**[04:33] ---**
Cleo of the Wind.
**[04:36] ---**
There is a momentary silence.
**[04:39] ---**
But immediately following it,
there will be a storm waiting for us.
**[04:42] ---**
Even so, right now, I want to
submit myself to this silence.
**[04:47] ---**
I will etch the truth that is found
in this silence into my heart.
**[04:58] ---**
Vetti-sama, do you like roses the best?
**[05:01] ---**
How about you, Ralph?
**[05:04] ---**
Hmm... I do think they are pretty,
but I hate their thorns.
**[05:10] ---**
Is that right?
**[05:13] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[05:16] ---**
Pain is something that
accompanies affection.
**[05:20] ---**
We were well aware of that when we
came here, weren't we? You and I alike.
**[05:26] ---**
True beauty cannot be hidden,
even behind a mask. That's what I thought.
**[05:31] ---**
You said a moment ago that
this world was full of untruth.
**[05:38] ---**
There are times when untruth
becomes the truth.
**[05:42] ---**
Untruth... becomes truth?
**[05:48] ---**
We can see it now.
**[05:50] ---**
What is it?
**[05:52] ---**
The prophet Guildy's castle.
**[05:54] ---**
Prophet?
**[05:56] ---**
When the end comes,
a two-headed eagle will be born.
**[06:00] ---**
One will be clad in armor of iron,
one shall become a god of love.
**[06:08] ---**
In time, the two will become one,
and thou shalt unite the galaxy.
**[06:16] ---**
Part of me has been
waiting for this wind.
**[06:20] ---**
Say, what did that prophecy earlier mean?
**[06:23] ---**
Don't you know?
**[06:24] ---**
Not one bit.
**[06:26] ---**
I now see the path I should go down.
**[06:29] ---**
Huh?
**[06:29] ---**
It appears that I am destined
to marry Gorna's daughter.
**[06:33] ---**
But why? I don't want you to do that!
**[06:38] ---**
When the end came,
a two-headed eagle was born.
**[06:41] ---**
One of them, clad in armor of iron, is me.
**[06:44] ---**
The other one is the god of love,
**[06:47] ---**
the daughter of Pope Gorna,
of the Cross-Star religion, Rachel.
**[07:07] ---**
Why did you draw?
**[07:08] ---**
Why don't you ask your sword?
**[07:40] ---**
Would you like me to insert you, as well?
**[07:43] ---**
Into my pocket?
**[08:01] ---**
Who...
**[08:04] ---**
...are you?
**[08:10] ---**
Cleo! Get up!
**[08:13] ---**
Hey, Cleo, are you all right?!
**[08:17] ---**
Die!
**[08:27] ---**
A frozen lake?
**[08:29] ---**
Take us down.
**[08:31] ---**
What are you planning to do?
**[08:32] ---**
Just keep quiet and watch.
**[08:37] ---**
Everyone, brace for impact.
**[08:42] ---**
Swing us around!
**[08:44] ---**
Swinging around!
**[08:50] ---**
Salvo!
**[08:54] ---**
Go!
**[09:02] ---**
Pierce their heart.
**[09:04] ---**
Changeover!
**[09:23] ---**
Fire!
**[09:28] ---**
What?!
**[09:47] ---**
Why did I suddenly draw on him back then?
**[09:54] ---**
Just what was it that provoked me earlier?
**[10:00] ---**
The child says, "I will snap you in half,
little rose that blooms in the field."
**[10:06] ---**
The little rose replies, "I will prick you,
so that you will never forget me."
**[10:25] ---**
Does it hurt?
**[10:27] ---**
You should get off.
**[10:30] ---**
What?
**[10:31] ---**
Go on back to the
People's Army on your own.
**[10:34] ---**
You promised to take me with you.
**[10:38] ---**
I don't remember making that promise.
**[10:42] ---**
You're planning on going after Vetti, huh?
**[10:44] ---**
He's waiting for me, too.
I can't go on like this one bit.
**[10:48] ---**
"He"?
**[10:49] ---**
A scoundrel, by the name of Cleo.
**[10:51] ---**
The one with the glass battleship
that drove back Maconnais.
**[10:55] ---**
I am going to disperse that wind someday.
**[10:58] ---**
Forget about that guy, already.
**[11:01] ---**
Promise me, Vetti-sama,
that even when you're married,
**[11:05] ---**
I will be the only one in your heart.
**[11:10] ---**
Vetti-sama?
**[11:13] ---**
Vetti-sama! What's wrong?!
Vetti-sama! Stay strong!
**[11:19] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[11:21] ---**
Vetti-sama, please share
your pain with me.
**[11:35] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[11:39] ---**
I'm going to tell this just to you.
**[11:43] ---**
My life is going to come to an end soon.
**[11:46] ---**
No! Don't say such a terrible thing!
**[11:49] ---**
The reason why I am trying to marry
Rachel is not just a political one.
**[11:56] ---**
In the ancient past, there was
once an enormous battleship.
**[12:01] ---**
A battleship?
**[12:03] ---**
It's said that this battleship used
an unknown technology now lost to us...
**[12:08] ---**
...that allowed it to freely
manipulate even time.
**[12:12] ---**
However, at some point,
**[12:14] ---**
that enormous battleship
broke up into many pieces.
**[12:18] ---**
If I am able to bring that
gigantic battleship back,
**[12:23] ---**
we will be able to obtain
that technology once again.
**[12:27] ---**
To do that, it will be necessary
to bring the galaxy under unified rule.
**[12:31] ---**
If you are able to obtain
that technology, Vetti-sama,
**[12:34] ---**
then you won't have to die, will you?
**[12:36] ---**
Rachel is an indispensable tool
that I need to unify the galaxy.
**[12:42] ---**
Would you mind explaining this?
**[12:45] ---**
Michel-sama had an older brother.
**[12:49] ---**
However, his brother went missing
during a battle with Vetti's forces,
**[12:55] ---**
and everyone had given up on him
**[12:56] ---**
--as having passed away.
**[12:57] ---**
--Brother...
**[12:59] ---**
Why?! Why would you do this?!
**[13:02] ---**
Is there some reason why you
won't identify yourself?!
**[13:12] ---**
It's Brother, all right!
It's unmistakably Brother!
**[13:17] ---**
Say your prayers, and make it fast.
**[13:20] ---**
Stop!
**[13:21] ---**
Please don't!
**[13:22] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[13:50] ---**
No matter how hard we stare,
there are truths that are unseen.
**[13:56] ---**
The only answers lie
on the other side of time.
**[14:12] ---**
--Michel! Michel! Michel! Michel!
**[14:12] ---**
--Michel! Michel! Michel! Michel!
**[14:16] ---**
He's incredibly popular, huh?
**[14:18] ---**
He's a hero, after all.
**[14:24] ---**
A w- w- woman?!
**[14:29] ---**
Those are the wings
of an angel, aren't they?
**[14:32] ---**
Sylua, quickly, a towel!
**[14:33] ---**
R- right!
**[14:40] ---**
Now, be ye born beneath
the light of the stars!
**[14:48] ---**
Open your eyes, Rachel,
**[14:51] ---**
and speak to the people
for whom you have atoned, and saved,
**[14:56] ---**
beneath your mask.
**[14:59] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[15:15] ---**
It is a pleasure to meet you, Rachel-sama.
**[15:18] ---**
That the Holy Emperor should deign
to stand on the same level
**[15:21] ---**
as a commoner such as myself,
**[15:24] ---**
let alone kneel down before me...
**[15:26] ---**
I am just a person,
the same as everyone else,
**[15:30] ---**
and I have come here as the clown
who loves you, even in my dreams.
**[15:40] ---**
Salvo!
**[16:02] ---**
T- the glass battleship is too daunting!
**[16:07] ---**
Excellency sir! Please take flight at once!
**[16:10] ---**
--Sir!
**[16:11] ---**
--Sir, please hurry!
**[16:16] ---**
I hear you got dumped by Vetti, huh?
**[16:22] ---**
You keep a straight face,
**[16:24] ---**
but when it's all said and done,
you got dumped by a man, didn't you?
**[16:26] ---**
Cleo!
**[16:27] ---**
This is no time to be bringing that up!
**[16:31] ---**
All controlling rights and interests
over the trade zones.
**[16:37] ---**
You want to defeat the
Holy Emperor's forces, don't you?
**[16:41] ---**
Would you concede that?
**[16:43] ---**
Perchance, the next thing you will
be drinking is the wine of blood.
**[16:50] ---**
I look forward to it, but it couldn't
possibly compare to Bardeaux wine.
**[17:07] ---**
They sure are a crafty bunch, huh?
**[17:14] ---**
There is no one other than myself who can
unite the galaxy, and save its lost people.
**[17:21] ---**
Your cooperation will make that possible.
**[17:25] ---**
Ever since I was born
the daughter of the Pope,
**[17:28] ---**
I have been on an inescapable path.
**[17:32] ---**
It feels like now, you are showing me
a light at the end of that path.
**[17:38] ---**
If you say that you must walk along this
thorny path in order to attain that light,
**[17:43] ---**
then I will walk it with you.
**[17:45] ---**
Rachel...
**[17:46] ---**
However...
**[17:49] ---**
There will be no love.
**[17:51] ---**
Such an honest lady.
However, as I have said before,
**[17:57] ---**
there are times when
untruth becomes truth.
**[18:00] ---**
Someday, I will change
your false love into a true one.
**[18:11] ---**
He really is using her
as just a tool. Just a tool...
**[18:17] ---**
I can suffer regret later on. I do not
have time for retrospection.
**[18:23] ---**
No matter how frightening it might be,
I will row my boat on through the darkness.
**[18:36] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[18:37] ---**
I've been waiting for this, Cleo.
**[18:48] ---**
Oh, this isn't good...
**[19:01] ---**
That bastard... he knows his
combat pretty well, doesn't he?
**[19:05] ---**
You guys figure out a way to
get the ship free with Michel.
**[19:10] ---**
Where are you going?!
**[19:12] ---**
I'm going to go settle the score.
**[19:25] ---**
We finally meet again.
**[19:27] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[19:36] ---**
In time, the wind summons the storm!
**[19:40] ---**
Our fighting in this manner
was the destiny of the galaxy!
**[19:44] ---**
There are things in this galaxy, Vetti,
**[19:47] ---**
that you would find unthinkable
with your philosophy.
**[20:02] ---**
You lose, Vetti.
**[20:06] ---**
I will take your head now.
**[20:09] ---**
I am number one!
**[20:15] ---**
Destiny is a pitiless thing.
**[20:18] ---**
It chooses who will win, and who will not;
**[20:20] ---**
who may be overlord, and who may not.
**[20:24] ---**
You will never be able to defeat me.
**[20:32] ---**
Looks like the wind did not
summon the storm, huh?
**[20:42] ---**
Michel!
**[20:49] ---**
The wind is dispersed, and I have you.
This has the makings of a special day.
**[20:55] ---**
Hang in there! We're going
to save you! Count on it!
**[20:59] ---**
There they are!
**[21:29] ---**
We go on living through the flow of time.
**[21:36] ---**
Until our journey through
the galaxy is over.
**[21:39] ---**
"Like a Labyrinth"
**[21:48] ---**
*It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions*
**[21:54] ---**
*where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.*
**[22:00] ---**
*After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you*
**[22:06] ---**
*developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.*
**[22:11] ---**
*We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,*
**[22:14] ---**
*and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.*
**[22:20] ---**
*After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?*
**[22:25] ---**
*After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?*
**[22:31] ---**
*Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,*
**[22:37] ---**
*they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.*
**[22:42] ---**
*Even if this world were made of nothing*
**[22:48] ---**
*but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.*
**[22:54] ---**
*Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,*
**[22:59] ---**
*so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.*
**[23:14] ---**
An awakening in a den of thugs.
**[23:18] ---**
A single ray of light
shining in the darkness
**[23:20] ---**
once again stirs a wind in the galaxy.
**[23:22] ---**

**[00:18] ---**
The galaxy that we live in
is at the heart of the universe,
**[00:22] ---**
and is slowly drawing closer
to the Black Cross.
**[00:27] ---**
The Cross-Star religion preaches that
once we cross over into the Black Cross,
**[00:33] ---**
we will attain a super-galaxy.
**[00:37] ---**
They say that the ultimate
ideal world is waiting for us there.
**[00:40] ---**
But Cleo, what were you thinking,
**[00:44] ---**
at the farthest end
of the galaxy, at the time?
**[01:00] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:07] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:14] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:21] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:28] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:30] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:31] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:33] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:36] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:43] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:50] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:56] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:23] ---**
Cleo... Cleo... Cleo!
**[02:30] ---**
Eckardo!
**[02:32] ---**
Did you see something
on the other side of the wind?
**[02:35] ---**
Yeah, my galaxy.
**[02:39] ---**
You don't say.
**[02:41] ---**
The wind is going to carry me,
beyond the skies.
**[02:45] ---**
That's because you're favored of the wind.
**[02:48] ---**
Yeah. But I'm also favored
by something even bigger.
**[02:52] ---**
Even bigger?
**[02:54] ---**
The whole universe.
**[02:57] ---**
Good for you. Live your life
riding that wind.
**[03:02] ---**
In time, the wind summons the storm.
**[03:17] ---**
Eckardo...
**[03:40] ---**
Looks like you've come around.
**[03:42] ---**
Where... am I?
**[03:46] ---**
It's not tasteful enough to be Heaven...
**[03:50] ---**
Oh, my, it looks like the first thing
you'll need is some discipline.
**[03:58] ---**
You should watch your mouth.
**[04:00] ---**
Don't you remember what happened
to you before you got here?
**[04:09] ---**
Looks like the wind did not
summon the storm, huh?
**[04:13] ---**
Hang in there! We're going
to save you! Count on it!
**[04:17] ---**
There they are!
**[04:30] ---**
Are you cold?
**[04:35] ---**
And as feverish as you are, too...
**[04:54] ---**
Hey, Cleo! Cleo!
**[05:09] ---**
Cleo! Get up, Cleo! Cleo!
**[05:16] ---**
The stab wound that you got
went all the way down to your lung.
**[05:20] ---**
You should be grateful just to be alive.
**[05:22] ---**
Oh, yeah, your traveling companion has
gone on into the beast cage ahead of you.
**[05:29] ---**
By now...
**[05:36] ---**
That hurt! Be more gentle with me!
**[05:39] ---**
Hey, you!
**[05:41] ---**
Hmph, what do they
take a lady like me for?!
**[05:54] ---**
Ah, the smell of youth!
**[05:59] ---**
Been a while since we had some new faces.
**[06:01] ---**
Her skin is so smooth.
**[06:04] ---**
Looks yummy.
**[06:09] ---**
This must be the zoo.
**[06:13] ---**
I see, so you're saying that this
is the first circle of Hell, are you?
**[06:17] ---**
Yes. Which means, you are a prisoner.
**[06:21] ---**
If you want to survive here, you'll have
to remember your place when you act.
**[06:26] ---**
And if I say no?
**[06:29] ---**
Then you will be purged.
**[06:36] ---**
Looks like I won't have
to worry about being bored.
**[06:38] ---**
What is your name?
**[06:40] ---**
My... name?
**[06:43] ---**
Looks like suffering that severe injury
**[06:45] ---**
has given you some
temporary memory loss.
**[06:47] ---**
Well, your name doesn't really matter.
**[06:50] ---**
It's your body that I'm interested in.
**[06:54] ---**
You have remarkable healing abilities.
**[06:59] ---**
If I hadn't noticed that,
I wouldn't even have treated you.
**[07:02] ---**
Although, even if I had left you alone,
you might have recovered all on your own.
**[07:07] ---**
Then, leave me alone.
**[07:09] ---**
Could it have something to do with the
surgical scars you have all over your body?
**[07:14] ---**
You're the doctor.
**[07:18] ---**
Well, let's take a look, then.
**[07:21] ---**
Here I come!
**[07:27] ---**
You're not bad, huh, young'un?
**[07:30] ---**
I haven't been this fired up
in a long while.
**[07:31] ---**
Youth!
**[07:38] ---**
You mustn't be naughty.
**[07:47] ---**
Honey, are you sure you want
to let her have her own way?
**[07:55] ---**
Now, hold still for me, boy. I'm just
going to give you a little prick.
**[08:04] ---**
Why don't you refrain from taking
any unauthorized activity, Muscat?
**[08:08] ---**
Whatever could you mean?
**[08:10] ---**
I won't have you playing dumb with me.
**[08:13] ---**
These are just nutrients!
**[08:15] ---**
Oh? Then how about we stick you with it?
**[08:21] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[08:23] ---**
And anyhow, what is it that
brings you here personally, Warden?
**[08:27] ---**
If you are through treating this man,
then how about you turn him over?
**[08:32] ---**
He still needs to be treated!
**[08:35] ---**
He doesn't look that way to me.
**[08:37] ---**
You do indeed look paler than I do.
**[08:48] ---**
Are you a revolutionary
from the People's Army,
**[08:51] ---**
who escaped from battle the other day?
**[08:54] ---**
Maybe.
**[08:59] ---**
No matter. This is neither
an inquiry nor a trial.
**[09:03] ---**
Anyone who causes trouble
goes into the prison.
**[09:07] ---**
Fine with me.
**[09:09] ---**
There you have it.
**[09:11] ---**
Wait!
**[09:13] ---**
This man is an unusual specimen! Let me
examine him, just for a little while!
**[09:17] ---**
Do you know what the
prisoners all call you?
**[09:22] ---**
The mantis woman,
who chops up everything.
**[09:36] ---**
Stop horsing around! Come and get it!
**[09:40] ---**
I've caught you!
**[09:42] ---**
--Youth!
**[09:43] ---**
--Let go of me, you freak!
**[09:51] ---**
That's the smell of youth, all right!
**[10:06] ---**
Don't mess with me!
**[10:07] ---**
Come on, get up!
**[10:08] ---**
She's cleaning our clocks!
**[10:14] ---**
T- the boss is waking up!
**[10:19] ---**
He's especially heinous
after he's just woken up!
**[10:27] ---**
You'd better hurry and apologize to him.
Otherwise, you're gonna get killed.
**[10:34] ---**
Looks like you've got a little backbone.
**[10:38] ---**
You'll be perfect for my pillow.
**[10:43] ---**
You were this close to
becoming mincemeat there.
**[10:47] ---**
That woman carved up a man
just three days ago.
**[10:50] ---**
I had a hard time keeping it hushed up.
**[10:54] ---**
Yo... how did the battle turn out?
**[10:57] ---**
Do you really want to know?
**[11:01] ---**
After the ceasefire,
a peace treaty was signed,
**[11:04] ---**
but it amounted to full-fledged
surrender for the People's Army...
**[11:09] ---**
Full-fledged surrender?
**[11:19] ---**
We now have 70% of the
galaxy's territorial ships.
**[11:23] ---**
A slim harvest, huh?
**[11:26] ---**
I'm terribly sorry about that.
**[11:28] ---**
Who would have thought that
Bardeaux territory would flee so quickly?
**[11:31] ---**
What's more, they took Vosne,
Mésoc, and Bergeron with them.
**[11:35] ---**
How do you intend to answer for this?
**[11:37] ---**
Gerald, you are just as guilty.
So much for the "Invincible Armada."
**[11:43] ---**
That's right! Ending in a draw against
the People's Army is as good as losing!
**[11:48] ---**
Ralph...
**[11:49] ---**
For crying out loud, that greedy old hag
takes advantage of any situation she's in.
**[11:53] ---**
Enough.
**[11:54] ---**
I have dispatched patrol ships. If you give
the order, I will go dispose of her at once.
**[12:00] ---**
No, B.B. would know what we were doing.
**[12:04] ---**
If we're not careful,
**[12:05] ---**
she could shoot down our patrol ships
and flee to the ends of the galaxy.
**[12:08] ---**
If that happens, unification of the galaxy
would be delayed much longer.
**[12:11] ---**
Whether by negotiation or by force,
**[12:14] ---**
I don't care how, just get all of the
territorial ships as fast as you can.
**[12:21] ---**
Our time does not last forever, after all.
**[12:23] ---**
--Yes, sir.
- -Yes, sir.
**[12:31] ---**
Cleo, have we lost?
**[12:40] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[12:42] ---**
Where's the wind?
**[12:43] ---**
I just received a report
that he had been dispatched.
**[12:46] ---**
He's dead?! Are you saying
that Cleo is dead?!
**[12:50] ---**
It shouldn't be surprising. The wind
had already fallen in battle with me.
**[12:56] ---**
That's destiny for you.
**[13:02] ---**
Are you really dead, Cleo?
**[13:10] ---**
Allow me to pass and
see the Honorable Conrad!
**[13:12] ---**
I am an officer of
the Holy Emperor's forces!
**[13:15] ---**
Why can I not go inside?!
**[13:18] ---**
What is going on here?
**[13:20] ---**
Your Honor! Your Honor,
what is the meaning of this?
**[13:24] ---**
Who are you?
**[13:26] ---**
S- so you pretend not to know me?
**[13:29] ---**
Then how do you intend to explain
these peace treaty documents?
**[13:35] ---**
You are naãve, huh?
**[13:39] ---**
If you hadn't gone and killed Theodoric,
those documents would still be valid.
**[13:45] ---**
It is truly a shame.
**[13:47] ---**
Y- you tricked me?!
**[13:48] ---**
Go home. Your precious People's Army
will decide what to do with you.
**[13:59] ---**
Please wait!
**[14:13] ---**
You're too slow!
**[14:17] ---**
Tingly, tingly!
**[14:28] ---**
Tingly, tingly!
**[14:32] ---**
What is this guy, a monster?
**[14:37] ---**
Take this, monster!
**[14:41] ---**
Let go!
**[14:44] ---**
Whoa, the fun's just starting.
**[15:07] ---**
If you try to escape,
we'll kill you immediately.
**[15:27] ---**
Looks like he's already dead.
**[15:30] ---**
Cleo!
**[15:33] ---**
Well then, how about we
take our time and enjoy ourselves?
**[15:38] ---**
--To victory!
**[15:38] ---**
--To victory!
**[15:43] ---**
Lords and Ladies who have laid the
foundation for our Holy Emperor's forces,
**[15:48] ---**
we have invited a most wonderful guest
to our victory party tonight.
**[15:53] ---**
An officer of the People's Army,
**[15:55] ---**
Monsieur Michel Volban.
**[16:00] ---**
As you know, he is the hero
of the People's Army,
**[16:03] ---**
which is to say, their symbol.
**[16:06] ---**
We are planning to invite him to join us
as an officer in the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[16:09] ---**
and to work with us in ruling
the galaxy from here on.
**[16:14] ---**
I'm just on display here to win over
the sympathy of the people, am I?
**[16:19] ---**
Damn you, Vetti, how much are you
going to make a mockery of me?
**[16:25] ---**
Pleased to meet you.
**[16:28] ---**
I am Vetti Sforza's wife, Rachel.
**[16:32] ---**
Could I ask you what you think would
be ideal for the future of the galaxy?
**[16:38] ---**
The future of the galaxy?
**[16:40] ---**
Yes. Having turned against the great power
of the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[16:46] ---**
I would like to hear what your ideas are.
**[16:49] ---**
Why would you want to discuss that?
**[16:51] ---**
You are not the only one
concerned for the galaxy.
**[16:55] ---**
Having been born the daughter of the pope
of the Cross-Star religion, I am as well.
**[16:59] ---**
Well, well, what are you discussing?
**[17:03] ---**
We were discussing our dream for
the two of us to conquer the galaxy.
**[17:06] ---**
Oh? I guess I'll have to stay on my toes.
**[17:11] ---**
Vetti, I need to talk to you.
**[17:13] ---**
My, aren't you the immoderate one?
Well, let's retire to the other room.
**[17:33] ---**
Answer me something.
**[17:35] ---**
Why have you arrested and confined
all of the officers of the People's Army?
**[17:40] ---**
That's not true. We are
just supervising them.
**[17:44] ---**
It's the same thing!
**[17:45] ---**
They aren't free to go out,
and their visitations are restricted.
**[17:49] ---**
Why don't you have some wine
and calm down a bit?
**[17:56] ---**
There will be plenty of time.
**[18:08] ---**
Your treatment is as specified
within the peace treaty.
**[18:12] ---**
What meaning is there in having
a trumped-up peace treaty
**[18:14] ---**
after the cease fire?
**[18:16] ---**
Quite right. In short, it's your
own fault for falling for it.
**[18:21] ---**
What?!
**[18:43] ---**
This is unexpected. To think
that you would get drunk on wine...
**[18:47] ---**
What have you... done?
**[18:53] ---**
This is the second time
I've held you like this, huh?
**[18:57] ---**
Why... you...
**[19:00] ---**
Despise me, for that is love.
**[19:26] ---**
Are you crying?
**[19:28] ---**
Shut up! If you're going to do it,
then hurry up and do it!
**[19:31] ---**
Very well, I'll help myself.
**[19:40] ---**
Don't give yourself up so easily.
**[19:45] ---**
Cleo!
**[19:49] ---**
Why, you! You were
just pretending earlier?!
**[19:53] ---**
Whatever, just bring it on.
**[19:55] ---**
We've got lots of
spirited newcomers today, huh?
**[19:59] ---**
Get him!
**[20:24] ---**
W- what did you do?!
**[20:29] ---**
I asked you what you did to me!
**[20:32] ---**
I have no further use for you. Get lost.
**[20:56] ---**
This is going to cost you dearly!
**[20:58] ---**
That was my line.
**[21:01] ---**
Why, you!
**[21:09] ---**
You got him!
**[21:10] ---**
M- me, beaten... with one punch?
**[21:19] ---**
You know, this room is awfully grimy.
**[21:22] ---**
Let's make them clean it up tomorrow!
**[21:25] ---**
Nope, we'll do it right now. Wake them up.
**[21:28] ---**
You got it!
**[21:29] ---**
Hey! Hey! Hey!
**[21:31] ---**
You sure tried to do a number
on me earlier, huh?
**[21:34] ---**
Starting today, I'm in charge! Come on!
**[21:37] ---**
How long are you going to sleep?! Get up!
**[21:39] ---**
It's morning!
**[21:39] ---**

**[00:16] ---**
When I was still a child, I closed
myself up inside my own shell.
**[00:22] ---**
I spent many years inside there,
lost in thought, unable to emerge.
**[00:30] ---**
There I waited. Like a traveler, gazing at
the galaxy with an empty stare, I waited...
**[00:38] ---**
...for the wind, that would
shatter the hard shell
**[00:40] ---**
that my coarse soul was
confined in, to blow...
**[00:44] ---**
...and that's all I did...
**[00:58] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:05] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*

*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:19] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:26] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:30] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:31] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:34] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:40] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:48] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:54] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:19] ---**
Back to work!
**[02:22] ---**
Day in and day out, they get
us covered with this mud!
**[02:25] ---**
For crying out loud, what do
they think they're doing?!
**[02:27] ---**
Once in a while, there are some precious
mineral resources that come out of here.
**[02:32] ---**
Ha! They probably mean to turn the holes
we finish digging into our graves.
**[02:37] ---**
They're sneering at us!
**[02:39] ---**
You there! No more chatter!
**[02:42] ---**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[02:45] ---**
Hey...
**[02:46] ---**
What?!
**[02:48] ---**
You stink.
**[02:53] ---**
The smell of youth!
**[02:59] ---**
What he's saying is that you're
too loud. Right, Big Brother?
**[03:03] ---**
Don't go calling me Big Brother!
**[03:05] ---**
Right, Big Brother!
**[03:07] ---**
Sheesh... He's turned every bit
into the king of the mountain.
**[03:10] ---**
Get back to work immediately!
**[03:12] ---**
What?!
**[03:13] ---**
Big Sis, please, just behave
yourself right now.
**[03:16] ---**
It's not worth it to get on their bad side.
**[03:18] ---**
Shut up, I know!
**[03:26] ---**
Hey! Is that all I get?!
**[03:28] ---**
You there! Be quiet!
**[03:33] ---**
Big Sis doesn't understand one bit.
**[03:38] ---**
Good grief! Just how long are
they planning to feed us this?!
**[03:41] ---**
Eat it.
**[03:44] ---**
You're a fine one to talk!
You haven't touched yours!
**[03:47] ---**
I saved it for you, Big Sis.
**[03:51] ---**
Are you trying to start a fight?!
**[03:53] ---**
Don't go wasting your energy.
**[04:00] ---**
Fine, I'll eat it!
**[04:07] ---**
This is nasty!
**[04:12] ---**
Well?
**[04:13] ---**
I've tried a few different
things, but so far...
**[04:18] ---**
I see. Keep at it.
**[04:21] ---**
Okay.
**[04:29] ---**
Only my body has been defiled...
**[04:33] ---**
It's not as though my soul
has been defiled, too...
**[04:41] ---**
I understand that... I do understand that!
**[04:53] ---**
Must I go on living, bearing this
humiliation? Brother... Father...
**[05:12] ---**
Those are the wings of
an angel, aren't they?
**[05:27] ---**
What should I do? What should I...
**[05:42] ---**
The front gate is the only exit, all right.
**[05:45] ---**
Keys?
**[05:46] ---**
That jailor probably has them,
but I can't guarantee it.
**[05:50] ---**
But never mind that, I think it would be
better to plan for the day of the festival.
**[05:54] ---**
The problem will be transportation.
**[05:56] ---**
Peeping Gary has an idea about that.
**[05:59] ---**
Once, when I was trying to sneak
a peep at Muscat's youth,
**[06:03] ---**
I found something else.
**[06:05] ---**
Something else?
**[06:07] ---**
Yeah. Some ideal
transportation for the desert.
**[06:27] ---**
You can examine my body
as much as you like.
**[06:31] ---**
My, what has come over you?
**[06:34] ---**
I want to know more about my body myself.
**[06:37] ---**
Right away, then. Tonight.
**[07:01] ---**
Hey, get up!
**[07:12] ---**
This isn't bogus, right?
**[07:14] ---**
He'll be okay.
**[07:16] ---**
The festival when they
do soleil maintenance
**[07:18] ---**
happens on the last day of the calendar.
**[07:20] ---**
It starts the moment the calendar ends.
**[07:23] ---**
When that happens, the system
goes down for just a moment,
**[07:26] ---**
and the main gate opens.
**[07:28] ---**
Then, why haven't you all
escaped here before now?
**[07:31] ---**
Even if we were to get out of the prison
safely, the real problem comes afterward.
**[07:36] ---**
The desert goes on and on
in all directions.
**[07:39] ---**
They say that even if you are lucky enough
**[07:41] ---**
to get transportation, the nearest
town is three days away.
**[07:45] ---**
What's worse, even if
the town they speak of is there,
**[07:48] ---**
I'm not even sure we could get
out of this exile territory.
**[07:53] ---**
Cleo...
**[08:01] ---**
Unbelievable... This can't be...
**[08:05] ---**
What is it?
**[08:07] ---**
I asked you what it is.
**[08:10] ---**
You've got something
incredible within your body.
**[08:14] ---**
Something incredible?
**[08:17] ---**
Soleil.
**[08:18] ---**
What?
**[08:20] ---**
It's no wonder you'd be surprised.
Soleil is the source of all energy.
**[08:26] ---**
How you could have it
within your body is...
**[08:29] ---**
So, that pain in my chest that day was...
**[08:37] ---**
Amazing. This is an amazing discovery.
**[08:40] ---**
Please, let me examine
you a little further.
**[08:44] ---**
No, my time has almost come.
**[08:47] ---**
Why, you!
**[08:48] ---**
Whoa, that's far enough! I guess you
shouldn't have removed my restraints.
**[08:53] ---**
It's no use! You can't
get out of this prison!
**[08:57] ---**
Do you know what day this is?
**[09:01] ---**
--I had been skeptical,
but now I am sure of it.
**[09:04] ---**
--Hey, open up!
**[09:05] ---**
--What's going on in there?!
Hey, open this door!
**[09:06] ---**
--Even if you are able to get
outside, you'll never reach town!
**[09:09] ---**
--You're going to regret this
for the rest of your life!
**[09:09] ---**
--That's why I'm going to borrow some
transportation across the desert from you.
**[09:16] ---**
What happened?!
**[09:17] ---**
Hey, you!
**[09:19] ---**
You're...
**[09:48] ---**
Now!
**[09:49] ---**
Here goes!
**[09:52] ---**
Prison break!
**[10:05] ---**
Fire!!
**[10:22] ---**
How does it feel to be caught in my trap?
**[10:27] ---**
I thought it was all going too smoothly...
**[10:30] ---**
Now, will you go back, and become
the prey of that mantis woman,
**[10:35] ---**
or will you run around in the desert,
and be our target for some target practice?
**[10:40] ---**
I'd rather not do either.
**[10:42] ---**
Then you can die here.
**[10:50] ---**
Don't let him get away!
**[10:51] ---**
After him! After him!!
**[10:57] ---**
Cleo...
**[11:07] ---**
He's escaped into the tunnels!
**[11:10] ---**
Fool! You're trapped like a mouse in a sack.
**[11:15] ---**
After him!
**[11:16] ---**
There he goes!
**[11:32] ---**
What's the matter?
**[11:33] ---**
Sir, the prisoner went into the shaft
leading to the deepest area.
**[11:37] ---**
No need to panic. Seal off all of
Shaft 3, and go around to Shaft 4.
**[11:43] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:44] ---**
Where is my specimen?!
**[11:45] ---**
We're pursuing him now.
**[11:47] ---**
Please, don't kill him! He's a
valuable specimen! Take him alive!
**[11:50] ---**
Out of the way!
**[12:06] ---**
What's this?
**[12:25] ---**
This was the place, huh?
**[12:27] ---**
Where we exchanged our vows.
**[12:31] ---**
That day, you said to me, "I will
change your false love into a true one."
**[12:40] ---**
But lately, all you do is
stare off into the distance.
**[12:46] ---**
Such a cruel man.
**[12:49] ---**
When my heart was closed,
you forced your way inside,
**[12:54] ---**
yet now that my heart is open to you,
you will not come near me.
**[12:57] ---**
You misunderstand.
**[12:58] ---**
No, you have enslaved my heart.
**[13:08] ---**
And here I had resigned myself
to a marriage without love...
**[13:28] ---**
Now, I will be the one
to turn your heart to mine!
**[13:36] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[13:39] ---**
Vetti-sama?
**[13:41] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[13:45] ---**
Geez, Vetti-sama, of all the...
**[13:49] ---**
Vetti-sama! Hang on! Are you all right?!
**[13:52] ---**
Keep it down!
**[13:53] ---**
But...
**[13:55] ---**
What is missing?
**[13:57] ---**
Shortly, I will have all of the
territorial warships together,
**[14:01] ---**
and my life will be made everlasting,
**[14:04] ---**
so what is this feeling of loss?!
**[14:08] ---**
What is this tormenting feeling
of absence in my heart?!
**[14:11] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[14:21] ---**
Wait.
**[14:23] ---**
Oh, I thought you might be dead.
**[14:26] ---**
Hand me that book over there
with the red spine, would you?
**[14:32] ---**
I just can't seem to reach it.
**[14:34] ---**
Unfortunately, I don't have time
for that. I'm being pursued.
**[14:38] ---**
And?
**[14:40] ---**
I need you to hide me here for a bit.
**[14:42] ---**
Oh... But what would
you do if I were a jailor?
**[14:47] ---**
What?!
**[14:48] ---**
I might sell you out.
**[14:51] ---**
Tch! All right...
**[14:54] ---**
Wait.
**[14:55] ---**
What?!
**[14:57] ---**
If you're leaving,
then get me that book first.
**[15:05] ---**
You have a visitor.
**[15:12] ---**
Michel!
**[15:15] ---**
Conrad promised that he would take on
**[15:17] ---**
the People's Army's officers
as Holy Imperial officers,
**[15:20] ---**
and we even signed documents. But they
have unilaterally annulled the documents,
**[15:25] ---**
and most of the officers
have been arrested!
**[15:30] ---**
And the one who has received
the most humiliating treatment...
**[15:35] ---**
...is me!
**[15:38] ---**
Never mind that I am the one who
worked the hardest to obtain peace,
**[15:41] ---**
the Holy Emperor's forces have
ignored me, and won't even arrest me!
**[15:44] ---**
Our comrades curse me as being a traitor,
and have nearly killed me many times.
**[15:49] ---**
I have nowhere that I can go now!
**[15:53] ---**
So what would you have me do?
**[15:56] ---**
I want you to please
petition Vetti for me!
**[15:59] ---**
If I am made an officer, I will be
an outstanding subordinate!
**[16:03] ---**
Since Vetti has great respect for you,
he will listen to what you have to say!
**[16:08] ---**
I'm begging you!
**[16:09] ---**
I have a reform bill that will
**[16:11] ---**
allow the people and
the aristocracy to live in peace...
**[16:13] ---**
Would you please leave?
**[16:15] ---**
B- but what about Vetti-
**[16:17] ---**
I told you to get out, before I kill you!
**[16:22] ---**
Y- you have the same view
of me as everyone else.
**[16:26] ---**
That it is my fault that we lost.
**[16:28] ---**
Are you saying it's not?!
**[16:29] ---**
Fighting alone is not
the way to solve things!
**[16:33] ---**
Conflict does not give rise to anything.
**[16:35] ---**
Then why did you kill Theodoric?!
**[16:38] ---**
Well...
**[16:39] ---**
What has this half-baked
peace brought about?
**[16:42] ---**
Nothing but a lot of wasted
blood being spilled, hasn't it?!
**[16:45] ---**
You are the lowest of the low. Don't
ever show yourself in front of me again.
**[16:55] ---**
Just you watch. In the near future,
I will raise a rebel army,
**[17:00] ---**
and initiate the revolution once again!
**[17:04] ---**
I promise you that!
**[17:08] ---**
Excuse me.
**[17:12] ---**
Did a man wearing a jailor's
uniform come in here?
**[17:16] ---**
It has been a long time, Chic-kun.
You seem to be doing well, huh?
**[17:21] ---**
Thank you very much. Admiral, I'm most
pleased that you are doing well yourself.
**[17:26] ---**
There is a man in a jailor's uniform
**[17:28] ---**
that comes here every day
to bring me my meals.
**[17:32] ---**
No, actually, there was
a prisoner who just escaped.
**[17:37] ---**
Oh... That was quite sloppy, for you.
**[17:42] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, but we must
conduct an inspection in here.
**[17:46] ---**
Suit yourself.
**[17:49] ---**
All right.
**[17:51] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[17:52] ---**
Wait.
**[17:54] ---**
I said you could inspect, but I did
not say that you could come in.
**[17:58] ---**
Admiral... I only wish
to perform my duties.
**[18:03] ---**
In that case, kill me at once.
**[18:08] ---**
If you wish to perform your duty,
**[18:11] ---**
then why don't you start by executing me?
**[18:15] ---**
Staying here as a prisoner,
forced to live for decades in shame,
**[18:20] ---**
is the greatest humiliation
a warrior can endure.
**[18:23] ---**
Would you take from me
my pride as a warrior?!
**[18:31] ---**
Fine. I will leave it at being swayed
by your cajolery. However...
**[18:39] ---**
...there will not be a second time.
**[18:47] ---**
Seal off this block completely.
Do not let even a mouse out of here.
**[18:52] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[19:02] ---**
Hmph! They paw at our precious
ship with their filthy mitts!
**[19:11] ---**
Despicable!
**[19:13] ---**
It's not good for you
to be drinking so much.
**[19:16] ---**
Yo, you took your time, huh?
**[19:20] ---**
To think that you'd be a prisoner, too...
**[19:22] ---**
You saved me.
**[19:24] ---**
You failed in your prison break?
**[19:27] ---**
It's just getting started.
**[19:30] ---**
If I hadn't helped you,
you would have been taken and killed.
**[19:35] ---**
Perhaps.
**[19:37] ---**
There are those in this world who live
only on luck and the good will of others.
**[19:42] ---**
You certainly are one of them.
**[19:44] ---**
Nonsense.
**[19:46] ---**
Nonsense, is it? The less merit a person
has to live, the more they talk like that.
**[19:55] ---**
They think shallow thoughts,
and cause trouble for those around them,
**[19:59] ---**
never denying their own worthless selves,
**[20:02] ---**
and living their lives
in defiance and leisure.
**[20:07] ---**
Such people don't think
deeply about anything.
**[20:11] ---**
They don't ever follow through
to the end on anything.
**[20:14] ---**
Their souls just smolder, not even
shining as brightly as a single candle.
**[20:19] ---**
That is why they are unable
to deeply love others.
**[20:23] ---**
What good does it do someone
like that to go on living?
**[20:27] ---**
I shouldn't have helped you.
**[20:31] ---**
Just who are you?
**[20:34] ---**
Never mind. Go on. But treasure your life.
**[20:40] ---**
As long as you're alive,
good winds may blow.
**[20:44] ---**
Live your life riding that wind.
**[20:47] ---**
In time, the wind summons the storm.
**[20:52] ---**
How do you know that phrase?!
**[20:56] ---**
Eckardo always used to say it.
**[20:58] ---**
Eckardo?
**[20:59] ---**
Yeah, my foster father.
**[21:04] ---**
By any chance, are you...
**[21:06] ---**
Me? My name is...
**[21:08] ---**
Cleo Aeolus Corvalle de Verre.
**[21:15] ---**
And who are you?
**[21:17] ---**
Wait, they called you "Admiral" earlier...
**[21:27] ---**
I heard about you from Eckardo.
So, you're alive, are you?
**[21:34] ---**
Admiral Gawain.
**[21:38] ---**
I have been waiting for you,
**[21:39] ---**
"Like Majesty"
**[21:40] ---**
Your Highness.
**[21:56] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[22:02] ---**
*under my breath, I look at the screen.*
**[22:09] ---**
*Searching for the key to the future,*

*and the words that issue forth*

**[23:14] ---**
The hail of a soul,
guided by shining soleil...
**[23:18] ---**
From the depths of darkness,
the wind finally summons the storm.

That which is necessary is that which
you can do for someone besides yourself.
**[00:28] ---**
When one puts themselves aside, and devotes
themselves to someone else, they change.
**[00:35] ---**
Perhaps those who have the fortitude to do
so are the ones who are truly beautiful.
**[00:42] ---**
I wish that I could always be like that.
**[00:58] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*

I'm not going to run away now.*

Duchess of Bardeaux,
**[02:25] ---**
Jean Luc Silvernail-sama
and Isabel Matisse-sama are here.
**[02:31] ---**
Have a seat.
**[02:32] ---**
Oh yeah? Well then, with your pardon...
**[02:35] ---**
Hmm? What's the matter?
**[02:37] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux,
**[02:38] ---**
I am terribly sorry for
the defeat of the People's Army.
**[02:43] ---**
The reason we have come here in disgrace
today is to ask you for your cooperation.
**[02:49] ---**
I'll tell you right now,
we're not through yet!
**[02:53] ---**
The People's Army has not given up yet.
**[02:56] ---**
We're gonna take Michel back
from the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[02:59] ---**
and build up a world for
the people, that's for sure!
**[03:05] ---**
Is she listening to us?
**[03:06] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux, would you please
offer us your strength once again?
**[03:12] ---**
In addition to the trade rights
that you proposed earlier,
**[03:15] ---**
once the People's Army comes to power,
**[03:18] ---**
we will welcome your views on
all matters of state affairs...
**[03:29] ---**
I wonder what has become of the wind boy.
**[03:47] ---**
Hey, kid!
**[03:49] ---**
Stop daydreaming!
**[03:50] ---**
What?!
**[03:51] ---**
Big Sis, please, control yourself.
**[03:58] ---**
You'd best behave yourself until
the situation becomes clear.
**[04:03] ---**
We haven't heard a peep
about Big Brother Wind.
**[04:07] ---**
Maybe he really did get caught.
**[04:11] ---**
Cleo is not the kind of guy who fails!
**[04:13] ---**
Hey! Enough already!
**[04:15] ---**
Shut up!
**[04:16] ---**
Big Sis, don't! They'll put you in solitary!
**[04:21] ---**
Sorry about that. We'll reason with her.
**[04:25] ---**
Watch yourselves.
**[04:30] ---**
Move it!
**[04:36] ---**
Cleo, you idiot! Hurry up and come get me!
**[04:42] ---**
Your Highness...
**[04:44] ---**
Stop that. Sure, I might carry the blood
of the royal family, but my spirit is free.
**[04:53] ---**
You said a moment ago that
you were waiting for me.
**[04:57] ---**
The reason I have gone on living so
long is so that I could tell you this...
**[05:03] ---**
I was convinced that I would meet you.
**[05:06] ---**
Tell me what?
**[05:08] ---**
What do you think this room is?
**[05:11] ---**
What is it?
**[05:12] ---**
What I'm asking is,
do you know what this room is?
**[05:15] ---**
Not really.
**[05:17] ---**
A dumping ground.
**[05:18] ---**
A dumping ground?
**[05:20] ---**
Yes. The books arranged here, and the people
as well, are not needed in this world.
**[05:30] ---**
But what has been discarded here is all true.
**[05:35] ---**
True? What do you mean?
**[05:38] ---**
Very soon, this galaxy will be destroyed.
**[05:41] ---**
What?
**[05:42] ---**
The books that are here
**[05:44] ---**
are the fruits of the wisdom that
our great predecessors left behind.
**[05:48] ---**
However, the Cross-Star
religion has banned all of them.
**[05:54] ---**
Our distant ancestors, the predecessors
that developed this galaxy's civilization,
**[05:59] ---**
came here from another galaxy.
**[06:02] ---**
At the end of their long journey,
they arrived in this galaxy.
**[06:07] ---**
Another galaxy?
**[06:09] ---**
However, our forebears became
unable to leave this galaxy.
**[06:14] ---**
They had no choice but
to settle in this galaxy.
**[06:18] ---**
You could say that the territorial
ships that we all know...
**[06:20] ---**
...are the vestiges of our
ancestors' anguished decision
**[06:23] ---**
to ultimately make this their home.
**[06:27] ---**
What do you mean, they were
unable to leave the galaxy?
**[06:32] ---**
The Black Cross.
**[06:34] ---**
The Black Cross?
**[06:37] ---**
This galaxy is headed toward the Black Cross,
and is being slowly drawn inside.
**[06:43] ---**
Ever since the age of our distant ancestors.
**[06:45] ---**
The reason why our ancestors'
ships could not leave
**[06:48] ---**
is probably due to its
gravitational interference.
**[06:51] ---**
What happens when
the galaxy is drawn into it?
**[06:54] ---**
Nothing but extinction.
**[07:03] ---**
When will that be?
**[07:05] ---**
I don't know.
**[07:06] ---**
You don't know?
**[07:07] ---**
A year from now, a hundred years
from now... Maybe even tomorrow.
**[07:13] ---**
But it's certain that it will be
in the not-too-distant future.
**[07:36] ---**
Heizak-san...
**[07:40] ---**
You mean, you made contact
with her before we did?
**[07:46] ---**
Gentlemen, I'm glad that you are safe.
**[07:49] ---**
Nice work locating where Michel is yourself.
**[07:53] ---**
I'm just a member of the People's Army.
**[07:56] ---**
I have received some basic
training in espionage.
**[08:00] ---**
Michel-sama is in the northern palace.
**[08:03] ---**
What's security like?
**[08:05] ---**
Much tighter than I expected.
Getting in will be difficult.
**[08:09] ---**
Still, we have to do it.
**[08:13] ---**
You've changed, huh?
**[08:15] ---**
I thought you were the kind of people
who would not get involved with others.
**[08:19] ---**
We're going to get our ship back.
**[08:22] ---**
What he means is, even if we get our
ship back, we still don't have a captain.
**[08:28] ---**
You don't mean... Michel-sama...
**[08:33] ---**
Then, what you're saying is that you all have
become quite taken with Michel-sama, right?
**[08:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:51] ---**
Admiral, did you need something?
**[08:54] ---**
Ah, Pierre, I have a visitor.
Not right now, thanks.
**[09:00] ---**
Huh? A visitor? When did he get here?
**[09:04] ---**
Chic left him here for me to keep an eye on,
so there won't be any lecture today.
**[09:10] ---**
I see. Well, please tell me
a story tomorrow, then.
**[09:16] ---**
Oh, hold on, Pierre.
**[09:18] ---**
What is it?
**[09:19] ---**
Before, when you left,
you didn't lock the door again.
**[09:24] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful.
**[09:32] ---**
Who was that guy?
**[09:34] ---**
A man who enjoys history and war stories.
**[09:37] ---**
He likes to ask about
the operations I've carried out.
**[09:40] ---**
It's a good way to pass the time.
**[09:43] ---**
You sure talk a lot, huh?
**[09:45] ---**
He's a nice little fellow.
**[09:48] ---**
He brings me whatever books,
food or whatever else I want,
**[09:51] ---**
as tuition fees for me
to lecture to him, but...
**[09:53] ---**
What?
**[09:54] ---**
No matter how much I ask,
he won't take these off.
**[10:00] ---**
So, what will you do?
**[10:02] ---**
There's nothing else to do but to take
everyone and get us all out of here.
**[10:07] ---**
But I told you that we're being pulled
**[10:09] ---**
into the Black Cross,
and can't escape it, didn't I?
**[10:12] ---**
If I say we're going to
get out of here, we will.
**[10:15] ---**
How are you going to bring
the universe together?
**[10:17] ---**
The way you've lived your life up to now,
how many people will listen to you?
**[10:23] ---**
Sheesh, what, can you tell everything?
**[10:29] ---**
It's true...
**[10:32] ---**
I can't do it alone. I'll need help.
**[10:37] ---**
Looks like age is finally catching up with-
**[10:42] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[10:56] ---**
Your Highness!
**[10:57] ---**
It's nothing! Don't worry...
**[11:01] ---**
Don't tell me... you've...
**[11:04] ---**
Pierre! Pierre!
**[11:08] ---**
What is it, Admiral? W- what happened?!
**[11:12] ---**
He suddenly started having a seizure!
**[11:14] ---**
I- I'll get the doctor right away!
**[11:17] ---**
There's not enough time!
I'm carrying him out there! Open up!
**[11:20] ---**
T- that's something I can't do.
**[11:22] ---**
If he dies, you'll be responsible!
**[11:26] ---**
I- I guess I have no choice, huh?
**[11:36] ---**
Are you all right?
**[11:51] ---**
I enjoyed myself, thanks to you.
**[11:53] ---**
When the patrol comes, you can tell
them we hit you and knocked you out.
**[11:58] ---**
Do you think they're going to let
me off easy for something like this?
**[12:02] ---**
Sorry about this. I'll tell you about
the Battle of Volzeny some other time.
**[12:06] ---**
R- really?!
**[12:09] ---**
Promise me!
**[12:12] ---**
Can you run?
**[12:14] ---**
Farther than you can...
Once we get out, it's all desert...
**[12:17] ---**
It'll be hard on an old man...
**[12:20] ---**
There is a way.
**[12:57] ---**
Farewell... Cleo...
**[13:04] ---**
They've definitely got
every route closed off, huh?
**[13:07] ---**
Knowing Cleo, he'd probably
call for a frontal attack.
**[13:11] ---**
That would be as good as committing suicide,
**[13:14] ---**
and would just serve
to bring Michel-sama down.
**[13:17] ---**
Let's think of another way.
There must be something.
**[13:44] ---**
What are you doing?
**[13:47] ---**
It is not at all unusual
**[13:49] ---**
for those who have exchanged vows
to share the warmth of the same bed.
**[13:54] ---**
Is this something we must do?
**[13:57] ---**
If an unfeeling embrace will suffice,
**[14:00] ---**
then I will have you,
as is my duty as a husband.
**[14:05] ---**
If you don't like it, then would you leave?
**[14:08] ---**
No, I will go. The warmth I leave behind
in the bed should serve to sleep with you.
**[14:24] ---**
Don't leave me!
**[14:47] ---**
Cleo... Cleo!
**[14:50] ---**
Has your wind really stopped blowing?
**[14:56] ---**
Your wind torments me!
Your wind will not let me sleep!
**[15:13] ---**
Your Imperial Majesty, you have a visitor.
**[15:16] ---**
A visitor? At this hour?!
**[15:19] ---**
Please forgive my impertinence.
**[15:21] ---**
Who are you?
**[15:24] ---**
My name is Muscat. I am in charge of
treating prisoners in the exile lands.
**[15:30] ---**
I have come because I have an urgent matter
that I must make Your Excellency aware of.
**[15:35] ---**
An urgent matter?
**[15:40] ---**
Excellency, that couldn't be...
**[15:43] ---**
Stay back!
**[15:44] ---**
It's about that glow, Your Excellency...
**[15:50] ---**
Please, could you clear the room?
**[15:54] ---**
That will be all. She is indeed my guest.
**[15:58] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[16:02] ---**
Might that glow from your eye be soleil?
**[16:08] ---**
I knew it.
**[16:10] ---**
This may be hard to believe,
**[16:12] ---**
but there is another individual
who has soleil within his body.
**[16:16] ---**
Another?
**[16:17] ---**
Yes. Upon examining the body of
a prisoner who was incarcerated last month,
**[16:22] ---**
I found that he had soleil within...
**[16:24] ---**
Who is it?!
**[16:25] ---**
I- I don't know his name.
**[16:28] ---**
Just that he was incarcerated
right after that battle earlier...
**[16:34] ---**
It's Cleo!
**[16:38] ---**
He's still alive!
**[16:40] ---**
Let me see him! Take me to where he is!
**[16:45] ---**
Gawain?!
**[16:46] ---**
Yes, sir. He is currently
fleeing through the shaft.
**[16:50] ---**
According to the guard, Pierre,
**[16:52] ---**
he escaped with a young man
who was dressed in a jailor's uniform.
**[16:57] ---**
Catch them! Put all shafts on alert!
**[17:00] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[17:04] ---**
So you've finally done it, Admiral.
**[17:19] ---**
What's the matter? What's going on?
**[17:28] ---**
Still alive?
**[17:30] ---**
Yeah, probably.
**[17:31] ---**
You're too presumptuous. Your bluster
is no more than a sign of your anxiety.
**[17:36] ---**
And you lecture too much.
**[17:44] ---**
Hold it!
**[17:47] ---**
What do we do?
**[17:49] ---**
Shall we run a little more roughshod?
**[18:00] ---**
Oh, not bad.
**[18:02] ---**
Freeze!
**[18:04] ---**
Surrender quietly!
**[18:21] ---**
You're late!
**[18:23] ---**
Who's the old guy?
**[18:25] ---**
I'll explain later. Is everyone here?
**[18:28] ---**
Big Brother!
**[18:32] ---**
This is encouraging.
**[18:34] ---**
Well then, how about we get out of here?
**[18:36] ---**
You got it!
**[18:39] ---**
Youth!
**[18:44] ---**
Take this!
**[18:51] ---**
Don't let them escape! Fire!
**[18:56] ---**
Hang on!
**[19:16] ---**
Big Brother, what do we do now?
**[19:19] ---**
Ask the Admiral where we're going.
**[19:21] ---**
Admiral?
**[19:30] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[19:33] ---**
Vetti-sama, please wait!
**[19:36] ---**
Excellency?
**[19:38] ---**
Go ahead and get aboard.
**[19:40] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[19:44] ---**
What? You're disgracing yourself.
**[19:48] ---**
Just where are you going?
**[19:49] ---**
To work.
**[19:50] ---**
Who is... that lady?
**[19:53] ---**
It's none of your business.
**[19:55] ---**
Yes, it is!
**[19:58] ---**
Stay... stay with me, please!
**[20:02] ---**
Lately, you haven't been very becoming.
**[20:08] ---**
Right now, you are the clown.
**[20:13] ---**
What is going on here?
**[20:16] ---**
Father!
**[20:17] ---**
This is going a little far, isn't it?
**[20:19] ---**
Calling my daughter a clown
in front of others?
**[20:23] ---**
How am I to respond to that?
**[20:26] ---**
He is still alive. I do not need to be
concerned with any other trivial matters.
**[20:32] ---**
He?
**[20:35] ---**
Cleo of the Wind.
**[20:36] ---**
You are mad! You have gotten Michel,
and now who is this you are after?
**[20:41] ---**
I am in a hurry.
**[20:42] ---**
Wait!
**[20:43] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[20:48] ---**
Come home with me, Rachel.
**[20:50] ---**
Now that you are wed,
I have no further use for that man.
**[20:55] ---**
Aren't you the selfish one, Father?
**[21:00] ---**
Vetti-sama, please, wait!
**[21:04] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[21:05] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[21:15] ---**
I have been expecting you.
**[21:30] ---**
Guildy-sama, I beg you,
please help Vetti-sama.
**[21:34] ---**
Ho... The destiny of the two-headed eagle...
**[21:39] ---**
...has gone into motion, has it?

**[00:18] ---**
People are born into this world
shouldering the feelings of many others...
**[00:24] ---**
Sadness... joy... and hope...
**[00:32] ---**
Assuming that hope, their lives continue
to shine, as long as they have strength.
**[00:38] ---**
Until they pass those feelings
on to the next somebody.
**[00:55] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:02] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:09] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:16] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:23] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:25] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:26] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:28] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:31] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*

*Both the unchanging mornings

**[01:51] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:21] ---**
Live your life riding that wind.
In time, the wind summons the storm.
**[02:37] ---**
Get some sleep. As soon as the storm dies
down, there will be men coming after us.
**[02:41] ---**
When day breaks, we flee out
of here without stopping.
**[02:45] ---**
There's something that
I just have to ask you about.
**[02:49] ---**
What is it?
**[02:52] ---**
Why did my mom and pop abandon me?
**[03:00] ---**
Don't get me wrong, I'm just killing
time until the storm dies down.
**[03:06] ---**
I see.
**[03:11] ---**
It goes back 30 years...
**[03:22] ---**
Long live King Corvalle! Glory to the king!
**[03:29] ---**
The young king, Magnus Corvalle,
**[03:32] ---**
was a kind-hearted king,
who loved flowers and poetry.
**[03:36] ---**
He was adored not only by the nobility,
but by the masses as well.
**[03:42] ---**
Cleo, such was your father.
**[04:01] ---**
Eckardo Ranier, come forward.
**[04:12] ---**
I have run out of medals
that I can give you.
**[04:16] ---**
The Admiral is also delighted
that he has such a fine successor.
**[04:19] ---**
Magnus- I mean, Your Majesty, I do
not fight because I desire medals.
**[04:25] ---**
I know. That is exactly why
I wish to reward your loyalty.
**[04:31] ---**
Majesty...
**[04:36] ---**
Listen to me, everyone!
**[04:38] ---**
In recognition of Commander Eckardo's
brilliant military successes,
**[04:42] ---**
and my firm trust in him, I believe that
he is deserving of a more fitting honor.
**[04:53] ---**
And so, how would you like my ship?
**[04:58] ---**
What?
**[04:59] ---**
Majesty!
**[05:01] ---**
There is no other way
that I can reward his deeds.
**[05:09] ---**
If I may...
**[05:11] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:12] ---**
Gorna, the bishop.
**[05:15] ---**
Very well. Speak.
**[05:17] ---**
Yes, sir. As you are aware,
in the royal family,
**[05:22] ---**
that ship attests that
the king is the king.
**[05:24] ---**
At some time, if any heirs
were to be born to Your Majesty,
**[05:26] ---**
and he were to succeed to the throne,
**[05:28] ---**
a new ship would be constructed.
That ship is the very embodiment of the king.
**[05:36] ---**
Which is exactly why I would like
to confer that ship upon Eckardo.
**[05:41] ---**
In the scriptures, it is written,
**[05:45] ---**
"We shall follow the king
who commandeth the ship,
**[05:48] ---**
and together with our king
shall we reach the Black Cross."
**[05:51] ---**
If you were to give the ship to another,
**[05:54] ---**
it would create an undesirable
situation for the royal family.
**[05:59] ---**
I deeply appreciate your consideration.
**[06:02] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[06:05] ---**
However...
**[06:07] ---**
A ship is only as good as its captain.
**[06:10] ---**
I firmly believe that Eckardo is
the man to make use of this ship.
**[06:17] ---**
I have no doubt that Eckardo will
set out into space on this ship,
**[06:21] ---**
and bring peace and prosperity to all!
**[06:30] ---**
Majesty...
**[06:35] ---**
Are you sure you're okay with this?
**[06:37] ---**
With what?
**[06:39] ---**
If you wrangle with the Cross-Star religion
any further, there's going to be trouble.
**[06:42] ---**
Rumor has it that the bishopric
is taking up with the nobility
**[06:45] ---**
that are discontent with the royal family.
**[06:47] ---**
I know.
**[06:48] ---**
Then why would you intentionally do
something like this to kick up a storm?
**[06:52] ---**
I want to ascertain what
their true intentions are.
**[06:55] ---**
Magnus...
**[06:58] ---**
Eckardo, will you help me?
**[07:06] ---**
To the end of my life.
**[07:09] ---**
The two of them were not
just a king and his vassal.
**[07:12] ---**
They were childhood pals,
and sworn friends-
**[07:14] ---**
no, there was an even stronger
bond between the two.
**[07:21] ---**
I'm not going to weep over an old tale
such as that one. Get to the point.
**[07:26] ---**
Just listen. At the time, the King
and Eckardo were both still young.
**[07:32] ---**
Right about the same age
that you are now, I'd say.
**[07:38] ---**
It's been too long, huh?
**[07:39] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:41] ---**
Want to race?
**[07:42] ---**
I was hoping you'd say that.
**[08:08] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[08:11] ---**
Eckardo!
**[08:12] ---**
What's the matter?
**[08:13] ---**
A lady!
**[08:23] ---**
Her name was Elvia Blanche de la Vallière.
**[08:28] ---**
She was the daughter of
a local influential aristocrat,
**[08:31] ---**
but ever since her father openly
denied the Cross-Star religion,
**[08:34] ---**
they had been persecuted by the church.
**[08:41] ---**
So, you've been looking around all over?
**[08:44] ---**
Isn't that dangerous, in the midst
of this unsettling situation?
**[08:50] ---**
I wouldn't be sure of anything if I didn't
confirm it with my own eyes. Besides,
**[08:56] ---**
as a result,
**[08:57] ---**
I was able to meet the two of you like this.
**[11:01] ---**
Eckardo...
**[11:03] ---**
Admiral!
**[11:05] ---**
Almost time?
**[11:06] ---**
Yes, sir. We strike tomorrow morning.
**[11:09] ---**
The rebel forces that the Cross-Star religion
has incited have increased their numbers.
**[11:15] ---**
You might die.
**[11:18] ---**
I have always been prepared to do so.
**[11:20] ---**
You may be a soldier, but I doubt
that fighting is your only ability.
**[11:25] ---**
Life is for making somebody happy, isn't it?
**[11:29] ---**
Admiral...
**[11:31] ---**
You only live once.
Make sure you have no regrets.
**[11:48] ---**
Sorry for calling you out here so suddenly.
**[11:50] ---**
Not at all. The strike is tomorrow, right?
**[11:53] ---**
Right after this.
**[11:58] ---**
Elvia, I will succeed in winning
this battle, and come back.
**[12:03] ---**
Yes...
**[12:04] ---**
When I do, I want you to meet me here again.
**[12:10] ---**
All right. In return, please
make sure you come back safely.
**[12:16] ---**
I promise.
**[12:17] ---**
When you do, I will have something
that I wish to tell you, Eckardo-sama.
**[12:22] ---**
Elvia...
**[12:39] ---**
Fire!
**[12:43] ---**
That day, the God of War must have been with
Eckardo. There was no one who could stop him.
**[13:00] ---**
Your Majesty, we thank you for
taking the trouble to greet us.
**[13:15] ---**
It's been a long time since we've
had anything that good to drink.
**[13:18] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:23] ---**
Do you still think of me as your friend?
**[13:28] ---**
What's the matter, Magnus? Are you drunk?
**[13:31] ---**
Eckardo...
**[13:34] ---**
Right now, there is a flower
blooming in my heart.
**[13:41] ---**
A beautiful flower, named Elvia.
**[13:46] ---**
Is that right?
**[13:49] ---**
As someone who was born the king,
I never thought I would be in love.
**[13:53] ---**
Marriage is just one of the duties of a king.
**[13:56] ---**
I kept trying to convince
myself of that, but...
**[14:01] ---**
At first, my heart was drawn by her beauty.
**[14:04] ---**
I told myself, she's just
the pretty daughter of a nobleman.
**[14:07] ---**
I tried to forget about those feelings.
But she was wise, strong, and majestic.
**[14:15] ---**
For the first time in my life, I felt
like I wanted to kneel before someone.
**[14:21] ---**
Magnus...
**[14:23] ---**
If I were to take her as my wife,
**[14:25] ---**
my relations with the Cross-Star religion
would become even more difficult.
**[14:30] ---**
Even so, I cannot shake these feelings.
**[14:34] ---**
Magnus, you only live once.
Make sure you have no regrets.
**[14:39] ---**
Eckardo...
**[14:41] ---**
I will protect the royal family
with my whole heart and soul.
**[14:44] ---**
You have my sincere blessing, Magnus.
**[14:49] ---**
Thank you, Eckardo! I've never been so
grateful for our friendship as I am now!
**[15:10] ---**
His Majesty is getting married?
**[15:11] ---**
Yes, to the daughter of a nobleman.
**[15:15] ---**
Elvia Blanche-sama?
**[15:18] ---**
The rebel nobility's resistance will
grow all the more fierce over this.
**[15:23] ---**
So, her and His Majesty...
**[15:30] ---**
She is ready.
**[15:38] ---**
Elvia...
**[15:57] ---**
That day, Eckardo fought
more fiercely than ever.
**[16:02] ---**
He was probably trying to get killed.
**[16:05] ---**
What is it you're trying to tell me?
**[16:10] ---**
I don't want to hear about
Eckardo's story of lost love.
**[16:14] ---**
Have you ever been in love with anyone?
**[16:17] ---**
Huh?
**[16:19] ---**
I asked you if you have ever
been deeply in love with someone.
**[16:24] ---**
Nah...
**[16:33] ---**
Admiral...
**[16:35] ---**
Looks like you've got
the devil's own luck, huh?
**[16:39] ---**
I slipped up.
**[16:41] ---**
Why are you so eager to die?
**[16:43] ---**
As long as you're alive,
good winds may blow. Right?
**[16:47] ---**
And in time, the wind
summons the storm, huh?
**[16:52] ---**
Having been injured, Eckardo used that as
a chance to retire from the front lines,
**[16:57] ---**
and became an aide to the royal family,
**[16:58] ---**
taking the office of Supreme
Commander of the Royal Guard.
**[17:02] ---**
And then, at length, the fighting
began with the rebel nobility.
**[17:40] ---**
Magnus!
**[17:42] ---**
Elvia!
**[17:47] ---**
Magnus!
**[17:54] ---**
Stay with me, Magnus!
**[17:57] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[17:58] ---**
What are you talking about?! Come on!
**[18:01] ---**
Look after... Elvia...
**[18:05] ---**
You're the only one I can ask...
Elvia... Look after Elvia...
**[18:12] ---**
All right.
**[18:19] ---**
Magnus...
**[18:28] ---**
His sword! The royal family sword is gone!
**[18:39] ---**
The secret formula for the royal
family's glass is in ashes!
**[19:22] ---**
Elvia-sama!
**[19:24] ---**
Eckardo!
**[19:26] ---**
Thank goodness you're safe!
**[19:27] ---**
Where is His Majesty?
**[19:29] ---**
He has... perished...
**[19:37] ---**
I will accompany you.
We must hurry and flee.
**[19:40] ---**
No.
**[19:41] ---**
I choose the same fate as His Majesty.
**[19:45] ---**
What are you talking about?! The royal
bloodline must not be terminated!
**[19:51] ---**
Take care of this boy...
Take care of Cleo...
**[19:56] ---**
You're the only one...
**[19:59] ---**
You're the only one I can ask!
**[20:07] ---**
Now, please go, that the royal
family bloodline may be preserved.
**[20:15] ---**
Your Majesty...
**[20:48] ---**
I shall not fall by your hands!
**[21:06] ---**
What? From Eckardo?
**[21:08] ---**
Yes, sir. The King and Queen are already...
**[21:13] ---**
I see...
**[21:17] ---**
All units, evacuate!
**[21:21] ---**
Magnus... Elvia...
**[21:24] ---**
I will make sure I protect this child.
**[21:27] ---**
I swear it, on your souls.
**[21:35] ---**
By no means did King Magnus and Elvia-sama
abandon you. They entrusted you.
**[21:42] ---**
To Eckardo, and no one else. And he gave
up his life to carry out his mission.
**[21:49] ---**
Do you understand why?
**[21:51] ---**
Yeah. Painfully so.
**[21:55] ---**
That's what it means
for a man to be in love.
**[21:59] ---**
Cleo, you are a testament to King Magnus,
Elvia-sama, and Eckardo's lives.
**[22:08] ---**
Live your life riding that wind.
In time, the wind summons the storm.
**[22:15] ---**
That lousy old coot...
That was pretty slick of him...
**[22:21] ---**
Cleo,
**[22:23] ---**
as it happens, you have one other-
**[22:24] ---**
Bad news!
**[22:26] ---**
They're coming after us!
**[22:34] ---**
Admiral...
**[22:36] ---**
You were about to say
something before, right?
**[22:40] ---**
No, never mind. Forget it.
**[22:56] ---**
"Like an Embrace"
**[23:13] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[23:19] ---**
*under my breath, I look at the screen.*
**[23:26] ---**
*Searching for the key to the future,*
**[23:32] ---**
*I've torn my pocket.*
**[23:39] ---**
*Have I any doubts?*
**[23:45] ---**
*Will the light shine?*
**[23:52] ---**
*What is right?*
**[23:57] ---**
*As I struggle, I move into the distance.*
**[24:04] ---**
*I am the only one,*
**[24:07] ---**
*my drifting heart is as hard as a cocoon,*
**[24:13] ---**
*and it protects me,*
**[24:17] ---**
*but I am not the only one,*
**[24:19] ---**
*and the words that issue forth*
**[24:22] ---**
*want to catch*
**[24:25] ---**
*going round and round.*
**[24:31] ---**
The never-ending fate
of the two-headed eagle...
**[24:34] ---**
A mysterious prophet, that speaks of an even
further distant future for the galaxy,
**[24:38] ---**
is met again.

**[00:18] ---**
When reminiscing about the past,
I live within my memories.
**[00:23] ---**
It is only then that I can bring people
back to life, and spend time with them.
**[00:28] ---**
Those who want to call it vain can go ahead.
I will go on living with my vanity.
**[00:36] ---**
It's not that I am despondent.
**[00:39] ---**
It's that the future, the past, and the
present are times that are cherished by me.
**[00:59] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:06] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:13] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:20] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:27] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:29] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:30] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:32] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:36] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:41] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:49] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:55] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:22] ---**
You have a new maid.
**[02:24] ---**
I beg your pardon.
**[02:28] ---**
I've brought you your dinner.
**[02:32] ---**
It smells good.
**[02:34] ---**
Yes. I used ginger as a base,
and added rose hips.
**[02:39] ---**
Thank you. It will warm me up.
**[02:41] ---**
My grandfather drinks this
tea every day to keep healthy.
**[02:46] ---**
Don't speak to him unnecessarily.
**[02:49] ---**
I beg your pardon.
**[03:12] ---**
As you said before,
Vetti-sama has married Rachel,
**[03:16] ---**
and will soon unite the galaxy.
**[03:18] ---**
And yet, Vetti-sama's life is coming
to an end. Whatever should I do?
**[03:28] ---**
Would you like to know, lost one?
**[03:32] ---**
Yes!
**[03:33] ---**
Come with me.
**[03:46] ---**
Aren't we there yet?
**[03:50] ---**
We've already come so far down...
**[03:54] ---**
Guildy-sama? Where are you?!
**[03:57] ---**
Where did you go?!
**[04:12] ---**
Yow...
**[04:27] ---**
The Black Cross?
**[04:35] ---**
"When the end comes..."
**[04:38] ---**
When the end comes,
a two-headed eagle will be born.
**[04:43] ---**
One will be clad in armor of iron,
one shall become a god of love.
**[04:49] ---**
In time, the two will become one,
and thou shalt unite the galaxy.
**[04:56] ---**
The box that maketh the two-headed eagle
doth sleep within the child of stars.
**[05:01] ---**
He who seeketh it shall reawaken it.
**[05:06] ---**
I don't understand.
I don't understand what you mean!
**[05:09] ---**
Seek ye the star box.
**[05:13] ---**
The star box? I should find the star box?
If I do, it will save Vetti-sama, right?
**[05:20] ---**
That's it, all right.
Rachel isn't the god of love, I am!
**[05:25] ---**
I'll make sure I find the star box,
**[05:27] ---**
and I will protect Vetti-sama!
**[05:31] ---**
Guildy-sama?
**[05:43] ---**
We're too heavy! Get out and push!
**[05:48] ---**
We walk from here.
**[05:53] ---**
--I tell you, it feels like we're
climbing a stairway to heaven.
**[05:53] ---**
--I'm getting frostbite on my feet!
**[05:55] ---**
--I'm hungry.
**[05:57] ---**
--This isn't youth...
**[05:57] ---**
--I'd rather be in hell than here.
**[06:03] ---**
Is that Guildy's place?
Don't tell me this is...
**[06:08] ---**
Planet Orleans.
**[06:10] ---**
The garbage heap planet?
**[06:12] ---**
We're... on a planet?
**[06:14] ---**
I didn't know...
**[06:16] ---**
I also thought we were just on
an exile territorial warship.
**[06:22] ---**
My soul is defiled!
**[06:25] ---**
Give me back my youth!
**[06:28] ---**
Let no man trespass onto corrupted planets!
**[06:33] ---**
So the Cross-Star religion still
sweeps over the galaxy, does it?
**[06:38] ---**
What nonsense.
**[06:39] ---**
What can they do, Big Brother?
**[06:41] ---**
They've been told this stuff
ever since they were kids.
**[06:44] ---**
It's ingrained into us. I don't
feel all that great about it myself.
**[06:50] ---**
So, what do we do? Go see Guildy,
and hear her gracious prophecy?
**[06:56] ---**
Our escape vessel is here.
**[06:58] ---**
Here?
**[06:59] ---**
Gramps, what are you talking about?
**[07:09] ---**
Looks like the old lady
isn't here today, huh?
**[07:36] ---**
Here.
**[07:38] ---**
Where the hell is this escape vessel?
**[07:58] ---**
Let me take care of that.
**[08:08] ---**
Honey, that was fantastic!
**[08:32] ---**
No peeking!
**[08:36] ---**
Admiral, is this your ship?
**[08:38] ---**
That's right.
**[08:39] ---**
It's pretty huge.
**[08:41] ---**
And it's an old model, too.
**[08:44] ---**
I've come here time and again, and never
imagined there was a ship buried here.
**[08:59] ---**
Does this thing really run?
**[09:14] ---**
Looks like she's still alive.
**[09:17] ---**
All right, let's start repairs!
**[09:24] ---**
Where's the exit?
**[09:27] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[09:33] ---**
This is the problem, huh?
**[09:35] ---**
There's no other way. We have to reactivate
this, and set out into space once again.
**[10:06] ---**
That's too bad...
**[10:08] ---**
Sure enough, Badat is
the only one she'll work for.
**[10:11] ---**
Huh? Gramps, you know Badat?
**[10:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:16] ---**
Among those who pilot warships,
**[10:18] ---**
there's no one who doesn't know
the name of Badat lason.
**[10:23] ---**
Ah... our Badat, huh? So he really
was your right-hand man, Gramps.
**[10:29] ---**
I knew he wasn't just
your average drunk, but...
**[10:34] ---**
Cleo?
**[10:37] ---**
Are you in pain?!
**[10:38] ---**
Big Brother, are you all right?!
**[10:40] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[10:41] ---**
I- it's nothing... Just...
**[10:53] ---**
The soleil!
**[11:04] ---**
That's...
**[11:13] ---**
Excellency, your soleil is
growing weaker by the day.
**[11:19] ---**
The interval between your seizures is
also shortening, and if this keeps up,
**[11:22] ---**
sustaining your life
will be beyond my control.
**[11:26] ---**
And yet... as we get closer
to the garbage heap planet,
**[11:30] ---**
the brilliance of your soleil is increasing.
**[11:33] ---**
It's Cleo. He is calling me.
**[11:38] ---**
Your sin is your beauty. Much more so that
even your body withstands this punishment.
**[11:44] ---**
You call this punishment?
The soleil that gives my body life?
**[11:52] ---**
What is it?
**[11:54] ---**
I don't care. Tell me.
**[11:57] ---**
Excellency, the wavelength of your soleil
**[11:58] ---**
is very close to the soleil
of the man I saw earlier.
**[12:02] ---**
This is entirely my supposition, but by
having these two soleil come near each other,
**[12:07] ---**
the wavelengths may be stabilized.
**[12:11] ---**
Similar wavelengths?
**[12:34] ---**
What was that? Cleo,
what happened to your body?!
**[12:37] ---**
Who knows? Never mind me,
prepare to launch.
**[12:43] ---**
He might be able to save Vetti-sama...
**[12:51] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[12:54] ---**
What are you doing?
**[13:02] ---**
Where did you sneak in from, boy?
**[13:05] ---**
Those are the Holy Imperial force's clothes.
**[13:10] ---**
You're...
**[13:14] ---**
Why are you here?
**[13:16] ---**
What was that glow earlier?
**[13:18] ---**
That's none of your business.
**[13:20] ---**
Big Brother, what do we do with him?
**[13:23] ---**
Toss him outside.
**[13:25] ---**
What are you talking about? What a waste!
**[13:28] ---**
We could keep him as a hostage,
just in case, couldn't we?
**[13:31] ---**
Suit yourself.
**[13:37] ---**
Well?
**[13:38] ---**
No problems. Once we get the internals
serviced, we can take off.
**[13:43] ---**
What? From Ralph?
**[13:45] ---**
Yes, sir, coming from Orleans.
**[13:48] ---**
The garbage heap planet...
**[13:52] ---**
This is a fragment
of the small shard of glass
**[13:56] ---**
that was taken when the glass
battleship struck our vessel.
**[14:00] ---**
I'm sorry to say that while it is not
exactly clear at the present time...
**[14:06] ---**
...we believe that this
glass may have come from...
**[14:09] ---**
...the same secret manufacturing
process once used by the royal family.
**[14:11] ---**
The royal family?
**[14:13] ---**
I would say that the possibility
is extremely high.
**[14:18] ---**
A descendant of the royal family...
**[14:25] ---**
Au revoir, monsieur.
**[14:31] ---**
Hold it. What is this?
**[14:33] ---**
Laundry.
**[14:35] ---**
I'm inspecting it.
**[14:36] ---**
Go ahead.
**[14:40] ---**
You!
**[14:42] ---**
Why, you...
**[14:48] ---**
Hey, you!
**[14:56] ---**
Let's go!
**[14:57] ---**
Right!
**[15:01] ---**
Heizak, I went to a lot of trouble to
bring this out to you. Now do your share.
**[15:18] ---**
Don't sell the royal family's
secret dashing short!
**[15:24] ---**
An intruder!
**[15:30] ---**
The royal family's secrets aren't bad.
**[15:32] ---**
Now!
**[15:38] ---**
They've repaired everything for us!
**[15:41] ---**
Okay over here, too.
**[15:43] ---**
All righty!
**[15:45] ---**
Royal family's secret...
**[15:48] ---**
...one-shot ignition!
**[16:14] ---**
They're here!
**[16:19] ---**
There they are.
**[16:20] ---**
I will protect Sylua-sama!
**[16:25] ---**
You're fired up, huh?
**[16:27] ---**
There they are!
**[16:34] ---**
Sylua!
**[16:35] ---**
Michel-sama!
**[16:49] ---**
The dock is in a sea of flames.
**[16:52] ---**
The glass battleship appears
to have been taken as well.
**[16:54] ---**
Who was the leader behind it?
**[16:56] ---**
Your Honor!
**[16:59] ---**
Michel Volban has escaped!
**[17:01] ---**
Begin a pursuit at once.
**[17:03] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[17:06] ---**
They tricked us, did they?
**[17:11] ---**
Just a moment.
**[17:13] ---**
Yes, ma'am?
**[17:15] ---**
What is going on?
**[17:16] ---**
The People's Army radicals have
stolen the glass battleship and fled.
**[17:21] ---**
What about Michel?
**[17:22] ---**
We do not know where he is.
**[17:24] ---**
I see...
**[17:25] ---**
Excuse me.
**[17:44] ---**
Find it. It must be here.
**[17:47] ---**
As you wish.
**[17:49] ---**
Father...
**[17:51] ---**
What are you doing
at this hour of the night?
**[17:54] ---**
Rachel, what are you up to?
**[17:58] ---**
I cannot sleep.
**[18:00] ---**
You needn't worry. His Excellency
will surely return to you.
**[18:05] ---**
Are you sure?
**[18:07] ---**
Your Eminence...
**[18:13] ---**
Remember, Rachel,
**[18:15] ---**
you are the daughter of the Cross-Star
religion's Pope Gorna. Do not forget that.
**[18:22] ---**
Yes...
**[18:23] ---**
In time, that nominal emperor
is going to bow down before me.
**[18:30] ---**
Please stop!
**[18:33] ---**
I... I have fallen in love with Vetti-sama.
**[18:38] ---**
Rachel...
**[18:40] ---**
The reason that Vetti-sama did not take me
with him is not because he is avoiding me.
**[18:46] ---**
It is all because of his work.
**[18:49] ---**
I, Rachel, am the only one who can
understand him, help him, and save him.
**[19:01] ---**
We're almost there.
**[19:03] ---**
Attention, prisoners!
**[19:05] ---**
You are completely surrounded!
Surrender yourselves at once!
**[19:10] ---**
--He's got to be kidding.
**[19:11] ---**
--Repeat, surrender yourselves at once!
**[19:11] ---**
--What do we do?
**[19:12] ---**
--We just have to let them have it.
**[19:14] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:15] ---**
--Wait.
**[19:15] ---**
--Come out quietly, and I will
guarantee you will not be killed.
**[19:18] ---**
--I will go out there.
**[19:20] ---**
This is your last warning!
**[19:22] ---**
Surrender at once-
**[19:32] ---**
Where are the others?
**[19:34] ---**
I'm alone.
**[19:36] ---**
Admiral, you disappoint me.
**[19:39] ---**
For a man such as yourself to break
out of prison with those prisoners...
**[19:43] ---**
The legendary warrior has fallen to earth.
**[19:47] ---**
Why?! Why now?!
**[19:50] ---**
What good does it do to throw your
life away for people like that?!
**[19:55] ---**
You should have died when
the royal family perished.
**[19:59] ---**
I ran into an heir to the
"fallen" royal family.
**[20:04] ---**
I have waited all this time for this day.
**[20:19] ---**
Do it.
**[20:22] ---**
Very well then, as you wish.
**[20:52] ---**
I, Chic, have put Gawain to death!
Understand?! Gawain is dead!
**[21:02] ---**
His Excellency, the Holy Emperor's
fleet is headed here. You should hurry.
**[21:12] ---**
What luck! Imagine him, coming to me!
**[21:16] ---**
You think you're a match for Vetti-sama?
You guys are all going to be killed!
**[21:36] ---**
You should be able to avoid that...
**[21:39] ---**
"Like Flight"

**[00:18] ---**
Up to now, I have lost many friends.
**[00:24] ---**
My beloved stars, who have mournfully
lost your lives, only half-fulfilled,
**[00:29] ---**
your light still shines on in my heart.
**[00:35] ---**
That ephemeral light has turned to grief,
**[00:38] ---**
and will not disappear from
my heart as long as I live.
**[00:43] ---**
So I will rely on this grief of love,
**[00:47] ---**
as I drift through this endless galaxy,
**[00:51] ---**
in the gently rocking cradle
that we call life.
**[01:06] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,*
**[01:13] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:20] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:27] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:34] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:36] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:37] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:39] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:42] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:49] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:56] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[02:02] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:25] ---**
Enemy shells closing in.
Engineering, what's your repair status?
**[02:29] ---**
Not done yet!
**[02:30] ---**
This is getting desperate!
**[02:34] ---**
You dumbass! You think
that is going to fix it?!
**[02:36] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:38] ---**
Here!
**[02:39] ---**
You use your body!
**[02:48] ---**
Impressive, honey!
**[02:52] ---**
You did it!
**[02:53] ---**
All right, well done.
All hands, to your stations!

What's this?
**[03:16] ---**
The tensor change rate!
**[03:19] ---**
Shut up!
**[03:21] ---**
Gunners, can you target
the enemy shells?
**[03:23] ---**
We can't see anything!
**[03:33] ---**
Warship initial parameter check

Engaging main power...
**[04:15] ---**
Ignition!
**[04:30] ---**
Go!!
**[04:41] ---**
The blessed lightning bolt
strikes the earth...
**[04:44] ---**
May it bind us, and return us to life!
**[05:02] ---**
We're saved...
**[05:05] ---**
This is no time to relax!
**[05:12] ---**
Admiral, may you be victorious.
**[05:20] ---**
You are the only one
who gets me heated up!
**[05:28] ---**
I’ll be sure to return the favor.
**[05:31] ---**
He has suddenly come to life...
**[05:35] ---**
Just now, for a moment,
it looked like
**[05:37] ---**
Vetti-sama's soleil
glowed a little brighter...
**[05:45] ---**
Second wave incoming!
**[05:47] ---**
Evasive.
**[05:48] ---**
Hard to port!
**[05:51] ---**
Increase speed.
**[05:52] ---**
This is everything we've got!
**[05:55] ---**
Gunners, shoot down the enemy shell!
**[06:03] ---**
They got LaCuree!
**[06:05] ---**
Prepare for a second wave!
**[06:15] ---**
Fan out and attack the enemy
ship from both sides.
**[06:18] ---**
Once you have the target
in the crossfire point,
**[06:21] ---**
concentrate fire there!
**[06:32] ---**
Are you sure? At this rate,
they'll get us into a crossfire.
**[06:40] ---**
Full salvo!
**[06:54] ---**
We're in a hornet's nest!
**[06:56] ---**
Shake them off!
**[06:57] ---**
I can't!
**[06:59] ---**
Looks like you're not
used to a slower ship.
**[07:02] ---**
This ship is old and decrepit!
**[07:04] ---**
Then why don't you watch its old,
decrepit way of fighting?
**[07:18] ---**
The enemy consists of
three flagship-class vessels.
**[07:21] ---**
First thing we do is divide
the enemy's forces. Take us up!
**[07:25] ---**
Roger!
**[07:31] ---**
Open the gunports and
concentrate fire on the flagship!
**[07:47] ---**
Don't let up! Keep firing!
**[07:49] ---**
Ship closing from the starboard side!
**[07:51] ---**
From port, as well!
**[07:53] ---**
All right, keep luring
the enemy fleet into the clouds.
**[07:58] ---**
Bombay, don't forget our gifts!
**[08:04] ---**
All right, this is for LaCuree!
**[08:20] ---**
That was a brazen stunt to pull!
Where are they hiding?!
**[08:30] ---**
Enemy ship to port!
**[08:32] ---**
Full salvo on the enemy ship to port!
**[08:48] ---**
Full-speed ascent.
**[08:50] ---**
Full-speed ascent!
**[08:59] ---**
What's going on?
**[09:01] ---**
Enemy attack from starboard!
**[09:08] ---**
C- cease fire!!
**[09:11] ---**
H- how can this be?!
Where's the enemy ship?!
**[09:15] ---**
Easy win, easy win!
**[09:19] ---**
Can he see them, in these clouds?
**[09:25] ---**
What?! What the hell is
going on in those clouds?!
**[09:29] ---**
We don't know, but our two ships
appear to be exchanging fire!
**[09:39] ---**
Your wind started
to blow again, has it?
**[09:44] ---**
We have completely lost
sight of the enemy ship.
**[09:46] ---**
Take us up. Get us out of the clouds.
**[09:49] ---**
Aye, sir.
**[09:53] ---**
T- the enemy ship is directly aft!
**[09:55] ---**
Oh, no!
**[09:56] ---**
Fire!
**[10:16] ---**
No... That is not Cleo...
**[10:20] ---**
That's two down!
**[10:23] ---**
So this is the legendary warrior?
**[10:26] ---**
Who is this man?
**[10:30] ---**
There's another ship
hidden in the clouds!
**[10:33] ---**
We don't have very much
ammunition left!
**[10:37] ---**
This is bad...
**[10:45] ---**
Full salvo!
**[10:53] ---**
Birdie!
**[10:54] ---**
Taking evasive!
**[10:55] ---**
No! Full speed ahead!
**[10:58] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[11:05] ---**
Enemy ship coming straight at us!
**[11:07] ---**
No matter! Continue full salvo!
**[11:13] ---**
All hands, prepare for close combat!
**[11:34] ---**
There's a Holy Imperial fleet
closing in from the rear.
**[11:38] ---**
Ha! Do they think
they can run us down?
**[11:42] ---**
Heizak, if you would...
**[11:47] ---**
Sylua...
**[11:48] ---**
Right.
**[11:54] ---**
Can you pilot?
**[11:58] ---**
You needn't worry.
As one who serves Michel-sama,
**[12:02] ---**
I am prepared to handle
all of the basics.
**[12:06] ---**
Otherwise, I wouldn't be
cut out to be a maid.
**[12:12] ---**
We're going to avoid combat as
much as we can. Shake them off!
**[12:16] ---**
Roger!
**[12:27] ---**
All hands, ready for
close-quarters combat!
**[12:30] ---**
--You stay here.
**[12:30] ---**
--Take His Excellency to a safe location!
**[12:33] ---**
--Vetti-sama, where are you going?
**[12:34] ---**
--Damage report on our ship!
**[12:36] ---**
To go greet the wind.
**[12:41] ---**
We're only after
the enemy ship's power system.
**[12:44] ---**
Once it is blown up,
withdraw at once. Got it?
**[12:52] ---**
Me first!
**[12:53] ---**
Big Sis, it's dangerous
to go dashing in!
**[12:56] ---**
Honey, be careful!
**[12:59] ---**
Let's go.
**[13:01] ---**
Let's see a demonstration
of your skills, Your Highness.
**[13:33] ---**
Well done.
**[13:34] ---**
What are you, kidding?
**[13:54] ---**
It's awfully well guarded, huh?
**[13:56] ---**
Which means the power
system lies ahead.
**[13:59] ---**
You think we would be that lucky?
**[14:01] ---**
How about we find out?
**[14:05] ---**
Don't tell me you took
all of this into account.
**[14:08] ---**
This is all part of good strategy.
**[14:12] ---**
That really is some noggin
you've got there.
**[14:34] ---**
Your Highness, you really
did turn out splendidly.
**[14:38] ---**
Hurry and get going!
**[14:40] ---**
Right!
**[14:55] ---**
Before you do, guys, go call Vetti.
**[15:01] ---**
It would appear that
you aren't the wind.
**[15:09] ---**
So you're the one who calls
himself the Holy Emperor, are you?
**[15:16] ---**
To think that a ghost from the old
royal family would still be alive...
**[15:20] ---**
Oh, you know who I am, do you?
**[15:24] ---**
It was because of your incompetence
that the royal family fell.
**[15:28] ---**
Isn't that right...
**[15:30] ---**
...Admiral Gawain?
**[15:32] ---**
It is laughable that someone
outside the royal family
**[15:35] ---**
would call himself emperor.
**[15:37] ---**
I absolutely will not stand for it.
**[15:46] ---**
Bring Vetti here! Vetti!
**[15:52] ---**
What's the matter?!
**[15:54] ---**
Do you only talk a good game?!
**[16:19] ---**
Your life is mine.
**[16:35] ---**
Cleo!
**[16:36] ---**
Big Brother! We're coming to help!
**[16:40] ---**
You stupid fool!
**[16:53] ---**
Say your prayers!
**[17:04] ---**
By any chance...
by any chance, are you...
**[17:11] ---**
W- why... are you... here?
**[17:20] ---**
Why...
**[17:23] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[17:24] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[17:26] ---**
Your Excellency!
**[17:33] ---**
Vetti!
**[17:34] ---**
Cleo!
**[17:38] ---**
Gramps!
**[17:40] ---**
Admiral...
**[17:41] ---**
Why, you...
**[17:47] ---**
Cover me!
**[17:48] ---**
Right!
**[17:53] ---**
Admiral!
**[17:54] ---**
Stay with me!
**[17:56] ---**
Hurry... and blow up... the power...
**[18:03] ---**
Cleo!
**[18:13] ---**
Big Brother! No need to hurry!
**[18:18] ---**
Bombay!
**[18:19] ---**
Boss!
**[18:20] ---**
Get outside!
**[18:27] ---**
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
**[18:29] ---**
Boss! You can't do this!
**[18:31] ---**
Bombay!
**[18:33] ---**
Let me take care of the rest!
**[18:35] ---**
What?!
**[18:36] ---**
Thank you, Big Brother.
**[18:38] ---**
Thanks to you,
I had a taste of freedom!
**[18:43] ---**
Bombay...
**[18:45] ---**
Hurry and get going!
**[18:49] ---**
Let's go!
**[18:51] ---**
Don't you die, now!
**[18:53] ---**
Boss, may you have youth!
**[18:59] ---**
Now, how about we have
an exhilarating go at it?
**[19:10] ---**
F- fire!
**[19:18] ---**
It will take more than these
arrows to claim my life!
**[19:22] ---**
This guy's a monster!
**[19:26] ---**
That tingles, that tingles!
**[19:38] ---**
Someday...
**[19:40] ---**
...I will be the wind, too!
**[19:52] ---**
Where is my honey?
**[19:54] ---**
Hurry!
**[19:55] ---**
Close the hatch!
**[19:58] ---**
Vetti-sama's yacht is separating
from the main vessel.
**[20:03] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[20:05] ---**
Ralph?
**[20:06] ---**
Emergency launch!
**[20:27] ---**
There's an Imperial fleet
coming up in front of us, too.
**[20:29] ---**
"Tigers to the front of us,
wolves to the rear," is it?
**[20:34] ---**
We can no longer avoid fighting.
**[20:38] ---**
All hands, prepare for combat!
**[20:42] ---**
When I went to where
Guildy-sama told me to,
**[20:45] ---**
there was a giant relief work
that looked like the Black Cross,
**[20:48] ---**
and an engraving of the prophecy
about the two-headed eagle...
**[20:52] ---**
By any chance, are you...
**[20:54] ---**
Why... are you here?
**[20:59] ---**
Vetti-sama?
**[21:04] ---**
There is one last thing
that I must tell you...
**[21:10] ---**
That's okay, don't talk.
**[21:12] ---**
Highness... you have a blood brother...
**[21:17] ---**
What?!
**[21:18] ---**
Highness... I have entrusted...
our future... to you...
**[21:28] ---**
Admiral...
**[21:30] ---**
The wind... calls me...
**[21:38] ---**
"Like a Lion"
**[21:39] ---**
Admiral!!
**[21:56] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[22:02] ---**

"Now, when the roses
are past their season,
**[00:22] ---**
"what a rose is this,
to know its first bud!
**[00:26] ---**
"A single stem, with its shining,
belated blossom;
**[00:29] ---**
"its vibrant colors more than
compensating for its tardiness."
**[00:34] ---**
That day, I remembered this poem...
**[00:38] ---**
...when I saw you once again,
riding the wind like a winged horse,
**[00:43] ---**
galloping across the galaxy.
**[00:57] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:04] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:11] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:18] ---**
*I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:25] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:27] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:30] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:33] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:39] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:47] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:53] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:13] ---**
Honey...
**[02:15] ---**
LaCuree... Birdie...
**[02:17] ---**
Congratulations...
Now, you are finally free...
**[02:22] ---**
We won't ever forget you.
**[02:25] ---**
Or your youth.
**[02:28] ---**
Admiral, you were indeed legendary.
**[02:33] ---**
I am proud to have felt
the same wind that you did.
**[02:39] ---**
Farewell, Admiral.
**[02:41] ---**
Rest in peace.
**[02:50] ---**
Nowy, find a course through
the weakest part of the enemy attack!
**[02:54] ---**
Hold on...
**[02:55] ---**
Heizak, keep the enemy's attack
at a distance for a little bit!
**[02:59] ---**
As you command!
**[03:05] ---**
Can't you shake them off somehow?
**[03:06] ---**
This is all we've got!
**[03:08] ---**
There it is! There's one possible
course we can take at 2 o'clock!
**[03:12] ---**
Where?
**[03:14] ---**
The garbage heap planet.
**[03:15] ---**
Right! They won't come near us there!
**[03:20] ---**
Sylua!
**[03:21] ---**
Right!
**[03:27] ---**
Can't we go after
Vetti's ship right now?
**[03:30] ---**
No way, no way! We'll never
catch up to them in this thing.
**[03:34] ---**
No matter.
I know where he'll be going.
**[03:38] ---**
So what do we do?
**[03:40] ---**
If we go to get our ship back
in this gigantic thing,
**[03:42] ---**
we'll be too conspicuous.
**[03:44] ---**
And we're low on ammo, too.
**[03:50] ---**
Huh? I'm intercepting
a coded message.
**[03:53] ---**
It's coming from...
the Holy Emperor's forces!
**[03:58] ---**
Can you decipher it?
**[03:59] ---**
Let's see, what do we have here?
**[04:02] ---**
Urgent... support... glass battleship...
**[04:09] ---**
Cleo!
**[04:18] ---**
Where is it that you are taking me?
**[04:23] ---**
Where is my father?
**[04:36] ---**
This way.
**[04:40] ---**
What is this?
**[04:58] ---**
Connection to Côte-d'Or's
soleil complete.
**[05:01] ---**
Is it possible to operate it from here?
**[05:03] ---**
There are still several
hurdles in the way.
**[05:06] ---**
Hurry. If this takes too long,
Vetti will realize what is happening.
**[05:11] ---**
Father!
**[05:13] ---**
Oh, Rachel, you're here.
**[05:16] ---**
Never mind the incident
at the castle the other day,
**[05:19] ---**
what is going on here?
**[05:20] ---**
What in the world is this place?
**[05:24] ---**
I was thinking that it was about
time I told you everything.
**[05:35] ---**
The light and shadow of the Cross-Star
religion is assembled here.
**[05:41] ---**
Light and shadow...
**[05:43] ---**
You do know the final destination
spoken of in our scripture, right?
**[05:49] ---**
Of course I do.
**[05:51] ---**
"When ye, and all those who are with
ye after the manner of the flesh,
**[05:55] ---**
"do pass beyond the dark depths
of the Black Cross,
**[05:59] ---**
"ye shall obtain
an everlasting galaxy."
**[06:04] ---**
What about it?
**[06:06] ---**
The time we have been waiting
for has finally arrived.
**[06:09] ---**
The time when we will
reach the Black Cross,
**[06:12] ---**
and obtain immortality.
**[06:17] ---**
You know, don't you, that the galaxy,
slowly though it may be,
**[06:23] ---**
is already being drawn
toward the Black Cross?
**[06:26] ---**
Yes.
**[06:28] ---**
However, the nobility, who prosper
in the things of this world,
**[06:32] ---**
content themselves in
the day of their probation,
**[06:34] ---**
devoted to lining their own pockets,
**[06:37] ---**
and have forgotten the sublime spirit
of attaining the everlasting galaxy.
**[06:42] ---**
We cannot wait any longer.
**[06:45] ---**
We must reach the Black Cross
by our own power alone.
**[06:49] ---**
So that is why you need
Côte-d'Or's soleil?
**[06:52] ---**
Yes. We cannot leave it
to Vetti any longer.
**[06:56] ---**
But you should at least
discuss it with him.
**[06:59] ---**
If you speak to him, I'm sure that
Vetti-sama will understand.
**[07:04] ---**
The die has been cast.
**[07:11] ---**
Behold.
**[07:12] ---**
What is it?
**[07:13] ---**
The sword of the last king,
Magnus Corvalle.
**[07:17] ---**
What is something like
that doing here?
**[07:20] ---**
I killed the king with this sword.
**[07:24] ---**
Magnus did not understand
our sublime spirit,
**[07:29] ---**
and tried to eliminate
the Cross-Star religion.
**[07:32] ---**
Somebody had to kill him.
**[07:37] ---**
I committed a grave sin.
Even now, I am tormented by that sin.
**[07:43] ---**
However, it was all
for the people's sake.
**[07:48] ---**
The people?
**[07:49] ---**
Rachel, I commit this sword to you.
**[07:58] ---**
Are you telling me
**[08:00] ---**
that I am to bear the responsibilities
of the pope as well?
**[08:03] ---**
That is your destiny,
as one who was born my daughter.
**[08:08] ---**
However, this is also for
your beloved Vetti's sake.
**[08:14] ---**
For Vetti-sama?
**[08:18] ---**
Have we lost them?
**[08:19] ---**
Just a minute...
**[08:21] ---**
Deciphering code...
**[08:23] ---**
There are still Imperial
forces in front of us.
**[08:25] ---**
Feels like they're not letting
us get away, no matter what.
**[08:30] ---**
Full-speed evasive!
**[08:31] ---**
Roger!
**[08:36] ---**
With the royal family's
secret technologies,
**[08:38] ---**
I will knock the enemy off their perch!
**[08:45] ---**
Sylua, shake off the enemy
somehow and get us out of here!
**[08:48] ---**
Right!
**[08:49] ---**
With my beloved piloting us,
**[08:52] ---**
I will fire away, with you in my heart!
**[09:00] ---**
U- us not performing in tune
with each other is inopportune.
**[09:04] ---**
Sorry!
**[09:15] ---**
Settle down and recover!
**[09:17] ---**
Right!
**[09:22] ---**
The glass battleship has fallen silent!
**[09:24] ---**
Open all gunports!
Finish off the enemy ship! Fire!
**[09:34] ---**
The Imperial fleet is taking fire.
**[09:36] ---**
Reinforcements?!
**[09:38] ---**
Reinforcements? There's no reason
why we would have any right now!
**[09:41] ---**
What's going on?!
**[09:42] ---**
I don't know.
**[09:43] ---**
The attacks appear to be coming from
the other side of the meteor swarm.
**[09:46] ---**
What?!
**[09:55] ---**
What an enormous ship!
**[09:57] ---**
It appears to be an old
royal family warship.
**[09:59] ---**
What?!
**[10:01] ---**
N- no, that's...
**[10:04] ---**
...Admiral Gawain's flagship,
where I once served!
**[10:10] ---**
But that dauntless way in
which it is fighting is...
**[10:14] ---**
No, it couldn't be...
He's supposed to be dead...
**[10:18] ---**
Receiving a transmission
from that huge warship.
**[10:21] ---**
"Ride... my... wind..."
**[10:42] ---**
Eimer is there, too!
The two of them are safe!
**[10:51] ---**
You take it from here.
**[10:53] ---**
Where are you going?
**[10:55] ---**
Isn't that obvious? To my ship.
**[10:58] ---**
No fair! Take me with you!
**[11:01] ---**
Come hard about
and slip through them.
**[11:03] ---**
Only you can perform that trick.
**[11:11] ---**
Cleo is coming here!
**[11:13] ---**
How is he planning to get here?!
**[11:19] ---**
H- hey, chief!
**[12:01] ---**
Cleo!
**[12:02] ---**
Michel!
**[12:09] ---**
Cleo! Cleo!
**[12:17] ---**
Come on! Come on! Shoot at me!
**[12:20] ---**
Having a target this huge
makes it easy to aim, right?!
**[12:32] ---**
Isn't Cleo there yet?!
**[12:34] ---**
You sure seem youthful!
**[12:37] ---**
Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[12:40] ---**
Cleo!
**[12:41] ---**
We'll skip the greetings.
**[12:44] ---**
It's been so long,
how about we get going?
**[12:46] ---**
All right!
**[12:48] ---**
We're counting on you.
**[12:49] ---**
Make a run at the center
of the enemy fleet!
**[12:52] ---**
Badat, maximum power!
**[12:54] ---**
Right!
**[12:55] ---**
Nowy, tell Eimer to act as a decoy
toward the center of the enemy fleet!
**[13:00] ---**
You got it.
**[13:01] ---**
Sylua, set course 1-5 to starboard!
**[13:03] ---**
Right!
**[13:04] ---**
Heizak, don't forget our gifts!
**[13:07] ---**
As you command!
**[13:21] ---**
Act as a decoy?!
**[13:23] ---**
That bastard! That's a real
pickle he's asking us to get into!
**[13:27] ---**
Still, three flagships
are all that remain.
**[13:29] ---**
Port cannons are out of ammunition!
**[13:32] ---**
Same here!
**[13:35] ---**
All right, let me handle this!
**[13:43] ---**
Start by disposing of that rustbucket!
**[13:45] ---**
All ships, get the enemy vessel
into the crossfire point!
**[13:50] ---**
Pierce their hearts.
**[13:51] ---**
I've been waiting for this!
It's been a long time!
**[13:55] ---**
Analyzing soleil location...
**[13:58] ---**
Sylua!
**[13:59] ---**
It's all right!
I can pull this off, just watch!
**[14:02] ---**
Loading coordinates!
**[14:05] ---**
Take this!
**[14:11] ---**
Changeover!
**[14:39] ---**
Sylua...
**[14:40] ---**
Yes?!
**[14:41] ---**
Believe in yourself.
**[14:45] ---**
Right!
**[15:05] ---**
Yes...
**[15:07] ---**
Once we reach the Black Cross,
and obtain the everlasting galaxy,
**[15:12] ---**
maybe Vetti-sama's heart will change.
**[15:18] ---**
Please come back soon, Vetti-sama...
**[15:26] ---**
"The box that maketh
the two-headed eagle
**[15:29] ---**
"doth sleep within the child of stars.
**[15:31] ---**
"He who seeketh it
shall reawaken it," huh?
**[15:35] ---**
Yes, that's what Guildy-sama said.
So I'm going to find the star box.
**[15:42] ---**
For you, Vetti-sama!
**[15:44] ---**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[15:45] ---**
Right! Also, I had a thought
about that other prophecy.
**[15:52] ---**
Vetti-sama, you said that
Rachel was the god of love,
**[15:56] ---**
but I don't think that's true.
**[15:58] ---**
Oh? Then who do you think it is?
**[16:01] ---**
Well... it's probably... um...
**[16:06] ---**
Vetti-sama, I'm all done.
**[16:08] ---**
As I anticipated, your wound from
the other day is completely healed.
**[16:12] ---**
As you anticipated?
**[16:13] ---**
Yes.
**[16:15] ---**
The same was true of that man Cleo.
**[16:18] ---**
The effects of having soleil
within his body
**[16:20] ---**
gave him surprising
recuperative abilities.
**[16:23] ---**
So that's it... It was you, after all...
**[16:29] ---**
You're the one who fills me with
**[16:32] ---**
the unspeakable loneliness
that pierces my heart.
**[16:36] ---**
I swear I will defeat you,
and subdue everything about you...
**[16:41] ---**
Cleo...
**[16:48] ---**
Eimer!
**[16:50] ---**
Nowy!
**[16:52] ---**
--Have you been doing
all right, you little...
**[16:53] ---**
--Stop it! Cut it out!
**[16:57] ---**
Huh? My glasses!
Huh? My glasses...
**[16:59] ---**
--You're the same as ever.
**[17:00] ---**
--Where are my glasses?
**[17:01] ---**
Same goes for you, too.
**[17:03] ---**
Youth!
**[17:10] ---**
My glasses...
**[17:11] ---**
We picked up this whole bunch
on that garbage heap planet.
**[17:14] ---**
Be good to them, will you?
**[17:17] ---**
By the way, who was it that
was piloting the ship earlier?
**[17:20] ---**
That was me.
**[17:21] ---**
You, Sylua?! A brat like you
can pull off heart piercing?!
**[17:25] ---**
I'm not lying to you!
Everyone here is a witness!
**[17:28] ---**
They all exploded because you
missed the target, you know!
**[17:32] ---**
It was pretty good for my first time.
**[17:34] ---**
What, you want a contest?
**[17:36] ---**
I was hoping you'd say that!
**[17:38] ---**
All right! We'll settle this right now!
**[17:40] ---**
That's fine with me! You think
you're the only one who can do it?!
**[17:43] ---**
I want to thank you.
**[17:46] ---**
For getting my ship back.
**[17:50] ---**
I have something else
to give back to you.
**[17:59] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:00] ---**
You've changed a little bit.
**[18:04] ---**
Have I?
**[18:16] ---**
Welcome home.
**[18:18] ---**
You're still awake?
**[18:22] ---**
It's only right that a wife
awaits her husband's return.
**[18:26] ---**
I'm tired tonight.
Go sleep in another room.
**[18:30] ---**
Another room? Why should I,
when we have exchanged vows?
**[18:34] ---**
Then I will leave.
**[18:36] ---**
Please wait. I need to talk to you...
**[18:42] ---**
...about the future of the galaxy...
**[18:55] ---**
Excuse the interruption
while you are fatigued...
**[18:58] ---**
Doesn't matter. What is it?
**[19:00] ---**
The glass battleship, as well as what
is reportedly Gawain's giant warship,
**[19:05] ---**
have entered Bardeaux territory.
**[19:07] ---**
Which means that, naturally...
**[19:09] ---**
Yes. It is still touch-and-go whether
or not B.B. will work with them,
**[19:13] ---**
but they undoubtedly have
but one objective:
**[19:16] ---**
the formation of a new People's Army.
**[19:18] ---**
We don't need to wait for
B.B.'s decision anymore.
**[19:21] ---**
That old lady can run
to the ends of the world,
**[19:24] ---**
or provoke antagonism among
the baronage, I don't really care.
**[19:27] ---**
Crush anyone who opposes us.
**[19:29] ---**
With that in mind,
I have made ready an elite unit.
**[19:37] ---**
Excellency, it is a pleasure
to meet you. I am Ulugh Sahne.
**[19:45] ---**
Michel-sama, thank goodness,
thank goodness you're safe!
**[19:48] ---**
I'm glad too, Michel!
**[19:52] ---**
Sorry to worry you.
**[19:55] ---**
Oh, and you guys, too.
**[19:57] ---**
Man, that sounded like
an afterthought, huh?
**[20:00] ---**
So, how go the negotiations with B.B.?
**[20:03] ---**
She's being as stingy as ever.
**[20:05] ---**
She doesn't seem to be receptive to us.
**[20:08] ---**
Which is only natural, when you
consider the people of my territory.
**[20:13] ---**
Yo! How have you been?
**[20:16] ---**
It has been too long, wind boy.
**[20:19] ---**
As it happens, there's something
I need for you to hear, too.
**[20:26] ---**
You're saying that we humans
came here from another galaxy?
**[20:29] ---**
Yeah. This galaxy will
perish before long,
**[20:33] ---**
and be drawn into the Black Cross.
**[20:37] ---**
You always say the most
fascinating things.
**[20:40] ---**
Whether you believe it
or not is up to you.
**[20:43] ---**
There's no way we could believe
a tale like that, is there?
**[20:47] ---**
In the Cross-Star religion, they preach
that once we reach the Black Cross,
**[20:50] ---**
mankind will be able to
obtain an everlasting galaxy.
**[20:53] ---**
Quite correct.
**[20:55] ---**
That's a load of rubbish.
**[20:57] ---**
So, what will you do, Cleo?
**[21:00] ---**
There's not much time.
**[21:02] ---**
I'm going to unite the whole world,
and say goodbye to this galaxy.
**[21:08] ---**
Needless to say, I'm not going
to plunge into the Black Cross.
**[21:11] ---**
We're all going to escape
from this galaxy.
**[21:14] ---**
For that, I don't mind abandoning my
goal of restoring the royal family.
**[21:19] ---**
If this is true... Cleo...
**[21:24] ---**
You sure have raised
your reputation, boy.
**[21:29] ---**
Now then, what to do?
**[21:32] ---**
Simple. Ride my wind.
**[21:37] ---**
Sure enough, you are...
**[21:39] ---**
"Like a Royal Road"
**[21:40] ---**
...our savior.
**[21:56] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[22:02] ---**
*under my breath, I look at the screen.*
**[22:09] ---**
*Searching for the key to the future,*
**[22:15] ---**
*I've torn my pocket.*
**[22:22] ---**
*Have I any doubts?*
**[22:28] ---**
*Will the light shine?*
**[22:35] ---**
*What is right?*
**[22:40] ---**
*As I struggle, I move into the distance.*
**[22:47] ---**
*I am the only one,*
**[22:49] ---**
*my drifting heart is as hard as a cocoon,*
**[22:56] ---**
*and it protects me,*
**[23:00] ---**
*but I am not the only one,*
**[23:02] ---**
*and the words that issue forth*
**[23:05] ---**
*want to catch*
**[23:08] ---**
*going round and round.*
**[23:14] ---**
The shadow of an assassin that
steals in without a sound...
**[23:17] ---**
What is it that whispers into
the ear of a savior to sway his heart?
**[23:22] ---**

There is nothing quite as fragile
as the word "justice."
**[00:20] ---**
When we fight for someone,
justice can easily turn to violence.
**[00:26] ---**
Even so, when the time comes
that we must fight,
**[00:29] ---**
people close their eyes
to this contradiction.
**[00:33] ---**
However, we followed our convictions
and took up our swords,
**[00:36] ---**
calling ourselves "The People's Army."
**[00:39] ---**
We believed that this fight was
for the sake of our future,
**[00:42] ---**
and were unshaken.
**[00:45] ---**
We believed that our enemy was evil,
and that we were just.
**[01:01] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:08] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:15] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:22] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:29] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:31] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:32] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:34] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:38] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:43] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:51] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:57] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:56] ---**
So this is where you are.
**[02:58] ---**
Are you sure you're not
drinking too much?
**[03:01] ---**
An answer...
**[03:03] ---**
I was looking for an answer.
**[03:04] ---**
An answer?
**[03:06] ---**
Ever since I spoke to the Admiral.
**[03:10] ---**
How do I get the people of
the world to ride my wind?
**[03:14] ---**
And?
**[03:18] ---**
It's simple.
We can't do it by ourselves.
**[03:28] ---**
It's precisely because we
can't do it by ourselves
**[03:30] ---**
that we're renegotiating
with B.B., right?
**[03:32] ---**
That won't be enough.
**[03:35] ---**
In order to have all people escape
the threat of the Black Cross,
**[03:39] ---**
there's one other person with whom we
must join forces, no matter what happens.
**[03:43] ---**
One other person?
**[03:45] ---**
The power of the one who is
trying to unify the whole world.
**[03:49] ---**
You don't mean... He is the enemy!
**[03:56] ---**
It's true, he is one sickening bastard,
**[03:58] ---**
and an enemy as far as
the People's Army sees him,
**[04:00] ---**
but this is no time to be
griping over trivial matters.
**[04:04] ---**
Everyone's lives are at stake.
**[04:07] ---**
If it comes down to
joining forces with him,
**[04:08] ---**
then I choose an honorable death!
**[04:12] ---**
What are you so uptight over?
**[04:15] ---**
Oh, excuse me...
**[04:17] ---**
This is quite an interesting
conversation you're having.
**[04:20] ---**
Would you be good enough
to include me in it?
**[04:25] ---**
Nothing really interesting about it.
**[04:27] ---**
You don't think so?
**[04:29] ---**
Wind boy, you have brought up
the subject of Vetti.
**[04:33] ---**
Usually, it's the men who
like to dream big,
**[04:37] ---**
and the women who think
more pragmatically...
**[04:44] ---**
So, you've caught on?
**[04:46] ---**
We are from the same mold, after all.
**[04:49] ---**
Still, whether the people's hero,
Michel Volban,
**[04:53] ---**
is a man or a woman is no great matter.
**[04:57] ---**
Rather, the people will follow whichever
path their idol, Michel Volban, chooses.
**[05:02] ---**
Idol?
**[05:04] ---**
Yes. What they need is a signpost,
named Michel Volban.
**[05:10] ---**
Would you accept
teaming up with Vetti?
**[05:15] ---**
Hmph... I told you,
women are pragmatic.
**[05:20] ---**
Well then, you women
speak between yourselves.
**[05:24] ---**
Sounds like there's
nothing else I can do.
**[05:31] ---**
Your taste isn't bad.
**[05:39] ---**
So, how about it? Do you believe it?
**[05:42] ---**
Huh?
**[05:43] ---**
What Big Brother said.
You know, about the Black Cross?
**[05:47] ---**
I hate to come down on Big Brother,
but I just don't get it.
**[05:51] ---**
Me, either. I mean, those kind of tales
are usually just hot air, you know?
**[05:55] ---**
It's not worth making
such a big fuss over.
**[05:58] ---**
Yo!
**[05:59] ---**
Oh, Big Sis!
**[06:01] ---**
How about joining us?
**[06:02] ---**
No way.
**[06:04] ---**
Have you seen Cleo?
**[06:06] ---**
I don't know. We were drinking
together a little while ago.
**[06:10] ---**
Now that you mention it,
Mickey and Chloe are gone, too.
**[06:13] ---**
I wonder if they got lost. After all,
there are a lot of rooms here.
**[06:18] ---**
Maybe they're getting their youth on.
**[06:20] ---**
You dummy!
**[06:21] ---**
Chloe just lost her husband!
**[06:24] ---**
Besides, Mickey is all shriveled up.
**[06:57] ---**
She wants me to wear this
to the banquet tonight?
**[07:26] ---**
Admiral, when I heard you were alive,
it honestly threw me for a loop.
**[07:35] ---**
But still, I don't have a single regret.
**[07:41] ---**
You must have felt his wind, too.
**[07:46] ---**
So please, let us see this
through to the end, Admiral.
**[07:55] ---**
Cleo!
**[07:59] ---**
I found you!
**[08:01] ---**
What is it?
**[08:02] ---**
Let's have a drink together!
**[08:05] ---**
What's wrong?
**[08:10] ---**
Cleo!
**[08:23] ---**
Cleo!
**[08:26] ---**
Mickey... Chloe...
**[08:29] ---**
How could this have happened?
**[08:32] ---**
B.B.'s guards drank too much wine,
and now their defenses are down!
**[08:39] ---**
Cleo!
**[08:39] ---**
I'm going to flush out the intruders!
You go call the "youthful" guys here!
**[08:43] ---**
Gotcha!
**[08:47] ---**
Fire brigade, hurry!
**[08:52] ---**
This place has had it!
Head for warehouses ♪2 and ♪4!
**[08:58] ---**
What's happening?!
**[09:02] ---**
How can this be?!
**[09:06] ---**
Where is the Duchess of Bardeaux?!
**[09:07] ---**
I believe she is in her room.
**[09:09] ---**
Take me there!
**[09:13] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux!
Duchess of Bardeaux!
**[09:29] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux!
**[09:32] ---**
Wait!
**[09:34] ---**
This is indeed fortunate. To think that
Michel Volban would come to us...
**[09:40] ---**
Why, you... Who are you?!
**[09:43] ---**
I am Ulugh Sahne,
1st Divisional Commander
**[09:47] ---**
of the Holy Imperial Force's
Special Tactical Division.
**[09:49] ---**
Special Tactical Division?
**[09:54] ---**
The second act has begun,
Duchess of Bardeaux.
**[10:04] ---**
Huh? What's this coded message?
**[10:06] ---**
Ah, Nowy, you're here!
We're leaving port right away!
**[10:10] ---**
We can't. Eimer isn't here.
**[10:12] ---**
What?!
**[10:18] ---**
Now, shall we get going?
**[10:22] ---**
No.
**[10:47] ---**
Cleo!
**[10:54] ---**
What the...
**[10:55] ---**
T- they're all dead!
**[10:58] ---**
Just who would do
something like this?!
**[11:01] ---**
This is expert work.
**[11:04] ---**
Were they after
the Duchess of Bardeaux?
**[11:07] ---**
Cleo-san, where is Michel-sama?
**[11:09] ---**
I don't know. Carried off, apparently.
**[11:20] ---**
Who's piloting it?
**[11:24] ---**
You're late, you're late.
**[11:30] ---**
What's with your glasses?
**[11:32] ---**
I just ran into things
when I wore them.
**[11:35] ---**
My glasses, my glasses...
**[11:36] ---**
Never mind! I'll take over!
**[11:39] ---**
We're leaving immediately.
We're going to find their escape vessel.
**[11:42] ---**
Now that you mention it, I picked up
an unfamiliar coded message earlier.
**[12:02] ---**
The 4th Division has finished their
operation, and is withdrawing.
**[12:05] ---**
All right.
**[12:06] ---**
The 3rd Division has
completed their mission.
**[12:08] ---**
Good work.
**[12:15] ---**
You there! Would you please
not touch that cask?
**[12:19] ---**
There is a vintage inside there
**[12:21] ---**
that you will not partake of
as long as you live.
**[12:26] ---**
You're going to spoil its flavor.
**[12:27] ---**
Oh, how rude of me.
**[12:31] ---**
In that case, I will savor it slowly,
once our operation is concluded.
**[12:36] ---**
What exactly are you planning to do?!
**[12:39] ---**
Blow up the soleil.
**[12:43] ---**
I am going to have you witness
the destruction of Bardeaux territory.
**[12:47] ---**
In the darkness,
once the soleil is extinguished,
**[12:49] ---**
the territory's population
will be eliminated, and then finally,
**[12:53] ---**
His Excellency the Holy Emperor
has ordered me to kill you.
**[12:58] ---**
Vetti's tastes are pretty good as well.
**[13:00] ---**
How shameless! What you are doing
is not warfare! It's just plain murder!
**[13:06] ---**
I'm afraid I must take exception.
**[13:09] ---**
I am doing nothing more than
carrying out my duties.
**[13:12] ---**
What duties?!
You're just minions of evil,
**[13:16] ---**
plotting to do whatever
you please with the galaxy,
**[13:18] ---**
thinking nothing of
the lives of the people!
**[13:20] ---**
If you look at it from our side,
it's your "People's Army" that is evil.
**[13:24] ---**
What?!
**[13:25] ---**
His Excellency was
victorious against you,
**[13:27] ---**
and has conquered the world.
**[13:30] ---**
You are the ones who are trying to destroy
the world His Excellency has created,
**[13:33] ---**
without even looking upon it.
**[13:35] ---**
That's not-
**[13:37] ---**
When I return home,
my wife and children will be there.
**[13:40] ---**
My men also have wives, lovers,
elderly parents, and other family.
**[13:46] ---**
In order to protect them,
**[13:47] ---**
they take upon themselves the honor
of the Holy Emperor's forces,
**[13:50] ---**
and eradicate your side.
**[13:53] ---**
What are you trying to say?
**[13:55] ---**
I am certain that the People's Army
**[13:58] ---**
wages war against us
by that very same reasoning.
**[14:03] ---**
You also want to create a world
where your families
**[14:06] ---**
can live in peace and security,
that's all.
**[14:08] ---**
Which is to say,
the security of the state.
**[14:11] ---**
If my destructive activities
lay the foundations for peace,
**[14:15] ---**
then I will gladly undertake
this dirty business.
**[14:18] ---**
And that is where your honor is?
**[14:21] ---**
Yes. When my mission is safely over,
**[14:25] ---**
I will hug my family with these
same hands that have killed you.
**[14:29] ---**
You're out of your mind!
**[14:31] ---**
Then let me ask you,
**[14:33] ---**
who is it that has ultimately contributed
more towards peace in the galaxy?
**[14:38] ---**
Is it you? Or is it me?
**[14:46] ---**
The 4th Division has
completed their mission.
**[14:48] ---**
Mm-hmm, good work.
**[14:50] ---**
All personnel have evacuated
to the safe zone.
**[14:53] ---**
Preparations to detonate
the soleil are complete.
**[14:55] ---**
All right.
**[14:58] ---**
Even if you blow up the soleil,
**[14:59] ---**
it will soon be restored with supplies
from our linked territories.
**[15:04] ---**
That will not matter.
**[15:06] ---**
As long as we have the territorial
ship that Bardeaux territory is,
**[15:09] ---**
we will not need anything else
that is in this territory.
**[15:13] ---**
Now, let's begin.
**[15:17] ---**
Commander!
**[15:18] ---**
T- the glass battleship is gone!
**[15:21] ---**
What?!
**[15:35] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux!
**[15:59] ---**
Duchess of Bardeaux, get up!
**[16:03] ---**
Come on!
**[16:06] ---**
That's far enough.
**[16:08] ---**
You must be Cleo of the Wind.
I am surprised by your daring tactics.
**[16:14] ---**
Tactics are only meaningful when
they take the opponent by surprise.
**[16:20] ---**
How did you know we were here?
**[16:21] ---**
You shouldn't have used
those communicators.
**[16:24] ---**
We seized upon your signal,
and calculated this location.
**[16:29] ---**
Must I admit defeat?
**[16:32] ---**
It's up to you.
**[16:54] ---**
Like I said, you have to
take them by surprise.
**[17:03] ---**
Are you okay?
**[17:05] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:09] ---**
I welcome a battle like this any day!
**[17:18] ---**
M- my wine...
**[17:20] ---**
My... my wine... my...
**[17:47] ---**
I must have appeared quite
disgraceful last night, huh?
**[17:51] ---**
No.
**[17:53] ---**
That soldier kept going
on and on about it,
**[17:55] ---**
but now, I understand what he meant.
**[18:00] ---**
We must create a world
**[18:01] ---**
where those who are dear to us
can live with peace of mind.
**[18:04] ---**
I feel no hesitation in
taking up arms to that end.
**[18:09] ---**
Vetti is going to recall just
what kind of woman B.B. is.
**[18:22] ---**
Aren't you thoughtful, wind boy?
**[18:42] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[18:43] ---**
How is it coming?
**[18:45] ---**
Well... still nothing...
**[18:48] ---**
I wish I could give you a hand.
**[18:50] ---**
No, Vetti-sama, you're so busy.
**[18:54] ---**
Just let me handle this.
I want to help you, Vetti-sama.
**[19:00] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:02] ---**
But you shouldn't be
pushing yourself so hard.
**[19:04] ---**
Mm-mm, I have to push myself.
**[19:06] ---**
After all, Vetti-sama,
you don't have much time left.
**[19:12] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[19:13] ---**
That's okay. It's true, after all.
Muscat's diagnosis backs that up.
**[19:20] ---**
What?
**[19:22] ---**
The soleil's specter is growing.
She says my death is near.
**[19:29] ---**
Vetti-sama...
**[19:33] ---**
And now, it's just us, huh?
**[19:36] ---**
That's right...
**[19:52] ---**
I'm coming in.
**[19:55] ---**
At least knock first!
**[19:57] ---**
What B.B. said is bothering me.
**[20:01] ---**
What did that man say to you?
**[20:06] ---**
It was contradictory.
**[20:07] ---**
Contradictory?
**[20:11] ---**
That the enemy is fighting
for the same reasons.
**[20:14] ---**
They desire peace, and have
those that they wish to protect.
**[20:18] ---**
That we are not the only ones
who have justice on our side.
**[20:22] ---**
Which means that it
might be possible for us
**[20:24] ---**
to team up with the Holy
Imperial forces, like you said.
**[20:29] ---**
Even if it means burying
all of our grudges.
**[20:33] ---**
You always get that look in your eye
**[20:36] ---**
when we talk about
joining with that bunch.
**[20:39] ---**
Still, it wasn't so bad.
**[20:44] ---**
Seeing you, with that dress.

**[00:19] ---**
A fragment of a dream I had
when I was a child...
**[00:23] ---**
Sometimes, I realize that
the brilliance of something...
**[00:27] ---**
...that I had thought was
long forgotten still moves me.
**[00:33] ---**
Ever since that day,
I have walked down a long road,
**[00:37] ---**
and I get overwhelmed,
and frozen in place
**[00:38] ---**
at how my feelings have not
changed in the slightest.
**[00:42] ---**
Then I start walking again,
**[00:46] ---**
seeking that fragment of my dream.
**[01:02] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:09] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:16] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:23] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:30] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:32] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:34] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:35] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:38] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:45] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:52] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:58] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:33] ---**
What is with Cleo? Having himself
a good time, all on his own...
**[02:37] ---**
I mean, I was the one who had my eye
set on Michel at first, wasn't I?
**[02:43] ---**
Well, at the time, it was because
**[02:46] ---**
I thought that Michel was
a man, though...
**[02:52] ---**
That fool does always end up taking
the tastiest bits for himself, huh?
**[03:31] ---**
I'll take that!
**[03:33] ---**
T- thief!
**[03:39] ---**
Hey! Hold it!
**[03:42] ---**
Stop!
**[03:48] ---**
Catch!
**[03:52] ---**
All righty!
**[03:55] ---**
Hey!
**[03:59] ---**
Hold it!
**[04:00] ---**
Don't move!
**[04:02] ---**
Here!
**[04:05] ---**
Yahoo!
**[04:12] ---**
Hey, little girl! You'll pay for this,
next time we see you!
**[04:20] ---**
That went well.
**[04:21] ---**
Easy pickings!
**[04:24] ---**
See you later!
**[04:25] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:26] ---**
We'll do it again sometime!
**[04:36] ---**
Hey, Eimer! Here!
**[04:39] ---**
Thank you!
**[04:55] ---**
I guess I'll hit him, while I'm at it.
**[05:47] ---**
What's this?
**[05:50] ---**
Shortly, this area is going to
be made into a hunting ground,
**[05:53] ---**
so that His Excellency
can go fox hunting.
**[05:56] ---**
As such, this whole slum zone
is going to be demolished.
**[05:59] ---**
What do you mean, hunting ground?!
**[06:00] ---**
You've got to be kidding!
They're driving us out for some foxes?!
**[06:05] ---**
Groundbreaking will be held
tomorrow morning.
**[06:07] ---**
Those who are residing here unlawfully
are being evicted at once. That is all.
**[06:13] ---**
Hang on!
**[06:16] ---**
You guys aren't doing anything that
takes a lot of imagination, are you?
**[06:21] ---**
Who are you?! If you defy me,
it'll be forced labor for you!
**[06:25] ---**
That's the slum boss, Eimer.
**[06:28] ---**
What? A little girl like her?
**[06:31] ---**
This is our town. We won't let
you aristocrats push us around!
**[06:52] ---**
Hang in there, Eimer!
Hurry up and let him have it!
**[06:55] ---**
Yeah! I've had enough of being
stuck under these guys' thumbs!
**[06:59] ---**
Let him have it!
**[07:01] ---**
Why, you little girl!
**[07:16] ---**
D- don't think you won't pay for this!
**[07:17] ---**
We won't forget this!
**[07:26] ---**
This is a cheap piece of junk.
**[08:03] ---**
I wonder if there's anything
valuable in here.
**[08:12] ---**
What's this?
**[08:18] ---**
Aw, man! This isn't worth anything!
**[08:36] ---**
Huh?! What the...
**[09:17] ---**
You!
**[09:19] ---**
Why don't you give it back to me now?
**[09:22] ---**
Take it from me, if you can!
**[09:32] ---**
You bastard!
**[09:39] ---**
Hold it, you!
**[09:43] ---**
Give it up. You can't beat me.
**[09:45] ---**
Don't you jerk me around!
**[09:54] ---**
Who is that man? He's pretty good!
**[09:56] ---**
He's got Eimer running in circles!
**[09:59] ---**
I've never seen Eimer like this.
**[10:08] ---**
Who are you?!
**[10:10] ---**
Who, me? I'm the wind.
**[10:13] ---**
Huh?! Who do you think you are?!
**[10:17] ---**
You can't come around here unannounced,
acting all important,
**[10:20] ---**
and think that I won't have
something to say about it!
**[10:23] ---**
It's the smell.
**[10:24] ---**
Huh?
**[10:26] ---**
It smells here.
**[10:28] ---**
Well I'm sorry the place is so filthy!
**[10:31] ---**
It's not that. The smell is quite
similar to the place where I was born.
**[10:37] ---**
Shut up! It may be a garbage heap
to you, but to us, this is heaven!
**[10:42] ---**
I don't care if you're
a nobleman or a vagabond,
**[10:45] ---**
nobody acts like that
without my say-so!
**[11:05] ---**
It's the nobility's forces!
**[11:06] ---**
Oh, no!
**[11:08] ---**
T- they really have come!
**[11:20] ---**
Those miserable...
**[11:23] ---**
Why, you!
**[11:25] ---**
Eimer!
**[11:26] ---**
What is she doing?!
**[11:33] ---**
Eimer!
**[11:35] ---**
Move! Get out of my way!
**[11:37] ---**
--Wait! You can't, Eimer!
**[11:38] ---**
--Shut up! Let me go!
**[11:42] ---**
I said let me go!
**[11:56] ---**
Up yours! This isn't over yet!
**[12:16] ---**
Looks like age is catching up with me.
**[13:20] ---**
E- Eimer...
**[13:22] ---**
Where have you been?
**[13:31] ---**
Let's hit back at them!
**[13:36] ---**
Are we just going to back
down quietly after this?
**[13:38] ---**
Let's show those aristocrats
what happens
**[13:41] ---**
when they look down their noses at us!
**[13:48] ---**
Hey, what's the matter with you?
**[13:50] ---**
You guys don't want to stay pinned
under their thumbs like this, do you?!
**[14:01] ---**
Well, how about it?!
**[14:03] ---**
Doesn't it aggravate you
to have this done to you?!
**[14:06] ---**
Hey!
**[14:07] ---**
It won't do any good to start
any fights with the nobility.
**[14:10] ---**
What?!
**[14:11] ---**
That bunch doesn't have any
qualms about killing us.
**[14:15] ---**
Which is why I'm saying
we ought to show them!
**[14:20] ---**
Be reasonable!
**[14:24] ---**
So, you're just going to stay beaten?!
**[14:27] ---**
That's the place where
we grew up, right?!
**[14:29] ---**
Are you saying we should just give it up
to the whims of those aristocrat swine,
**[14:32] ---**
and go someplace else
without saying anything?!
**[14:34] ---**
There's no way we can win.
**[14:36] ---**
We don't know that unless we try!
**[14:39] ---**
Eimer, please, don't make
any more fuss about this.
**[14:43] ---**
We've been given work from them,
**[14:46] ---**
and now we can finally settle
down and live normally.
**[14:49] ---**
What?!
**[14:50] ---**
And Eimer, if you hadn't
pulled your knife earlier,
**[14:54] ---**
they wouldn't have
driven us out like they did.
**[14:59] ---**
Yeah, and as a result,
everything we have has been lost.
**[15:04] ---**
We should have just left quietly,
like they told us to.
**[15:07] ---**
Are you saying that this is my fault?!
**[15:08] ---**
We can't go having you making
any more trouble for us.
**[15:12] ---**
Why, you...
**[15:14] ---**
We may have lost our homes,
**[15:16] ---**
but we're a lot better off
now than we were before.
**[15:19] ---**
If you want to die so badly,
then go die by yourself, will you?
**[15:24] ---**
Eimer, just stop already.
**[15:36] ---**
All right... I won't ask you again!
**[15:44] ---**
Eimer...
**[16:07] ---**
Have you switched from
purse-snatching to garbage-picking?
**[16:31] ---**
It's no use. Give it up.
**[16:33] ---**
Shut up!
**[16:35] ---**
Taking revenge isn't
going to do any good.
**[16:38] ---**
This is none of your business.
**[16:40] ---**
How are you planning to hit them?
**[16:42] ---**
The feudal lord is having
a party tonight at his mansion.
**[16:45] ---**
I'm going to crash it,
and scare the hell out of them!
**[16:48] ---**
You're going to end up getting
caught right away, and then killed.
**[16:53] ---**
Nobody ever asked you.
**[16:55] ---**
And I can't let things stand
the way that they are.
**[16:59] ---**
Eimer, wasn't it? As long as you're
going to do something,
**[17:04] ---**
stake your life on
a much bigger dream.
**[17:07] ---**
A much bigger dream?
**[17:09] ---**
If it were me,
I'd take over the galaxy.
**[17:19] ---**
That's hilarious!
**[17:23] ---**
Get back to me when you've
taken over the galaxy.
**[17:53] ---**
Who are you?!
**[17:59] ---**
She's inside! She's broken in!
**[18:02] ---**
Stop me if you can!
**[18:05] ---**
There it is!
**[18:06] ---**
Halt!
**[18:49] ---**
Looks like your pals have
abandoned you, huh?
**[18:54] ---**
Would you care to start working at
the hunting grounds tomorrow, too?
**[18:58] ---**
If so, I would be willing
to spare your life.
**[19:07] ---**
Do it!
**[19:19] ---**
W- what is it?! What's going on?!
**[19:22] ---**
Hurry!
**[19:24] ---**
Looks like you get away with your life.
**[19:52] ---**
W- what's this?
**[19:54] ---**
All of the soleil has been drained!
**[20:52] ---**
It's him!
**[20:55] ---**
Yo!
**[20:57] ---**
Thanks to you causing
such a commotion,
**[20:59] ---**
I was able to refuel
with some free soleil.
**[21:02] ---**
You were using me?!
**[21:06] ---**
Want to ride my wind?
**[21:13] ---**
Oh, shut up!
**[21:17] ---**
A much bigger dream... That's all
I was after when I came aboard.
**[21:42] ---**
That's the first time I've ever
seen that look on his face.
**[21:51] ---**
So what? I'm still me, aren't I?
**[21:59] ---**
That's right! There's nothing
to get hung up on!
**[22:01] ---**
I've made up my mind to stick
with him, no matter what!
**[22:12] ---**
"Like Adoration"
**[22:29] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[22:35] ---**
*under my breath, I look at the screen.*
**[22:42] ---**
*Searching for the key to the future,*
**[22:48] ---**
*I've torn my pocket.*
**[22:55] ---**
*Have I any doubts?*
**[23:01] ---**
*Will the light shine?*
**[23:08] ---**
*What is right?*
**[23:13] ---**
*As I struggle, I move into the distance.*
**[23:20] ---**
*I am the only one,*
**[23:22] ---**
*my drifting heart is as hard as a cocoon,*
**[23:29] ---**
*and it protects me,*
**[23:33] ---**
*but I am not the only one,*
**[23:35] ---**
*and the words that issue forth*
**[23:38] ---**
*want to catch*
**[23:41] ---**
*going round and round.*
**[23:47] ---**
When you come upon yourself
in the forest of loneliness,
**[23:49] ---**
after nearly forgetting yourself,
**[23:51] ---**
a single rose flutters
down to the galaxy.

**[00:17] ---**
The river of life goes back
to the distant past.
**[00:22] ---**
The river that begins with water
springing from the earth
**[00:26] ---**
eventually arrives at the sea.
**[00:29] ---**
The souls of those
who meet their end
**[00:32] ---**
become the galaxy,
shining in the night sky,
**[00:35] ---**
waiting for their time
to become falling stars,
**[00:37] ---**
to descend once again to earth.
**[00:40] ---**
In this way, the river of
souls connects past to future,
**[00:45] ---**
mapping out an eternal circle.
**[00:58] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:05] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:12] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:19] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:26] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:30] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:31] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:34] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:40] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:48] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:54] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:11] ---**
Is Bardeaux territory still missing?
**[02:15] ---**
Yes, sir. We've lost contact
with our patrol ship.
**[02:19] ---**
It was probably shot down during
that incident the other day.
**[02:23] ---**
This is what you get for
sending a feeble bunch
**[02:28] ---**
like Ulugh Sahne's after them.
**[02:30] ---**
Just find them as soon as possible.
**[02:33] ---**
Your honor is at stake.
**[02:35] ---**
Yes, sir. There is one other
thing that is bothering me.
**[02:40] ---**
The galaxy is being drawn
into the Black Cross.
**[02:44] ---**
What are you bringing
this up now for?
**[02:46] ---**
We should be more concerned
with uniting the galaxy.
**[02:49] ---**
However, lately, the distance
between Côte-d'Or and the Black Cross
**[02:53] ---**
has shrunk considerably.
**[02:56] ---**
The pull from the Black Cross
may have increased.
**[03:01] ---**
I have a pretty good guess
why that might be.
**[03:06] ---**
Gerald, what is happening
on your side?
**[03:08] ---**
Sir, we are still in
the experimental stages,
**[03:10] ---**
but soon, Your Imperial
Excellency will behold
**[03:12] ---**
a reborn Invincible Armada
lined up before you.
**[03:16] ---**
I look forward to it.
**[03:35] ---**
I've heard a lot about you.
**[03:41] ---**
I hope we can expect a
favorable reply to our request.
**[03:53] ---**
Michel-sama, about this
afternoon's schedule...
**[03:56] ---**
First, you have an audience with
Duke Grimaldi, followed by Duke Poitier.
**[04:01] ---**
Dinner will be with Duke Savoie-
**[04:02] ---**
Enough already!
**[04:07] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm going to go
cool my head for a bit.
**[04:12] ---**
Michel-sama...
**[04:15] ---**
My, my...
**[04:16] ---**
Perhaps she is pushing
herself too hard.
**[04:36] ---**
Yo. Come on out.
**[04:41] ---**
How did you know?
**[04:43] ---**
I can tell when the scent
of the wind changes.
**[04:47] ---**
That's a nice tune.
Would you mind continuing?
**[04:52] ---**
What's wrong? You seem down.
**[04:55] ---**
That's not true. I'm fine.
**[04:58] ---**
We do need the other territories'
support in order to get Vetti
**[05:01] ---**
to sit at the table to discuss things.
**[05:05] ---**
I do feel a little bad,
having to put all of that on you.
**[05:10] ---**
Then would you care
to hear my gripes?
**[05:13] ---**
Sure thing. Say anything you like.
**[05:17] ---**
I'm kidding. How are the others doing?
**[05:21] ---**
They're all bored out of their minds.
**[05:23] ---**
I'll bet. But until we have
our arrangements in order,
**[05:28] ---**
we can't very well go
confronting Vetti.
**[05:31] ---**
About the negotiations...
**[05:34] ---**
If you run into trouble
during negotiations,
**[05:36] ---**
you can use the fact that I carry
the blood of the royal family.
**[05:41] ---**
There should be plenty
of feudal lords
**[05:44] ---**
who swore loyalty to my pop,
Magnus Corvalle.
**[05:47] ---**
If you're going to have them
raise the flag of rebellion,
**[05:49] ---**
you'll need to appeal
to their sense of duty.
**[05:51] ---**
It's not like you to say
something like that.
**[05:55] ---**
It's not?
**[05:59] ---**
Cleo! What's wrong?!
**[06:01] ---**
I- it's nothing...
**[06:03] ---**
Don't be absurd!
This pain of yours isn't just-
**[06:05] ---**
Calm down! I- it's just an
old injury... acting up...
**[06:18] ---**
No power readings
from Côte-d'Or's soleil.
**[06:21] ---**
All control functions from
Barotica have ceased.
**[06:23] ---**
What is going on?
**[06:26] ---**
We can no longer remotely control
Côte-d'Or's engineering section.
**[06:29] ---**
What do you mean?
**[06:31] ---**
It looks like someone
has cut the circuits
**[06:33] ---**
connecting Côte-d'Or and Barotica.
**[06:36] ---**
What?!
**[06:37] ---**
I had heard stories about this,
but it really is something, isn't it?
**[06:41] ---**
It sure is! Amazing!
**[06:44] ---**
Vetti!
**[06:51] ---**
Vetti-sama, I'm going to go
start looking around, okay?
**[06:54] ---**
Be careful.
**[06:56] ---**
Right!
**[06:57] ---**
Your Imperial Excellency,
what a pleasure!
**[07:01] ---**
Have you some business here
in our modest locality?
**[07:05] ---**
Enough of your charade.
**[07:10] ---**
Why, whatever do you mean?
**[07:19] ---**
H- how could you do such a thing to
those of us who serve the Black Cross!
**[07:23] ---**
Your futile contortions
are unbecoming.
**[07:26] ---**
The private army that
you have been raising
**[07:28] ---**
has already been put down
by Gerald, and sequestered.
**[07:32] ---**
What?
**[07:33] ---**
It is no use turning against me.
**[07:35] ---**
You are the one who
has turned against us!
**[07:38] ---**
You promised us that once
the world was united,
**[07:40] ---**
we would reach the Black Cross,
**[07:42] ---**
and obtain our everlasting
galaxy, did you not?!
**[07:46] ---**
How much money have I
contributed to you to that end?!
**[07:51] ---**
Then we have been
deceiving each other.
**[07:55] ---**
Pope Gorna has fallen ill,
**[07:57] ---**
and is taking some
rest time for himself.
**[08:07] ---**
T- this isn't over yet, Vetti!
**[08:20] ---**
Here it is.
**[08:29] ---**
I sure am tired...
**[08:36] ---**
This is the second time I've
held you like this, huh?
**[08:53] ---**
Cleo...
**[08:59] ---**
If you're looking for Cleo,
he's not here.
**[09:02] ---**
He said earlier that he was
going out for some fresh air,
**[09:05] ---**
and headed toward the lake.
**[09:07] ---**
He did? Thanks.
**[09:10] ---**
Watch yourself. There's a fog out.
**[09:13] ---**
Okay.
**[09:26] ---**
You've beaten me, Racine.
I'm no match for you anymore.
**[09:30] ---**
What good will it do a girl
like you to learn fencing?!
**[09:35] ---**
Michel said...
to give this... to you...
**[09:40] ---**
It's not true... There's no way
that Brother could be dead!
**[09:48] ---**
Now, as of this moment, I renounce the name
Racine, and will live as Michel Volban.
**[09:59] ---**
It's funny how life can be...
**[10:04] ---**
I am myself... and yet not myself...
**[10:09] ---**
The real me is...
**[10:49] ---**
Good grief, you sure
are a lot of trouble.
**[10:59] ---**
The flames of a fireplace sure
are nice. They calm the heart.
**[11:05] ---**
What were you doing out in a fog
like this? It's not like you.
**[11:12] ---**
Drink some. It will warm you up.
**[11:17] ---**
This is just like that time before,
**[11:19] ---**
when you saved me on
that snowy mountain.
**[11:25] ---**
Are you sure you didn't have
something you wanted to say to me?
**[11:28] ---**
No, it's not like that. It's just...
**[11:33] ---**
I wanted to see that
loathsome face of yours.
**[11:36] ---**
Heh, sure you did.
**[11:58] ---**
Sure enough, there
seems to be no mistake.
**[12:00] ---**
Cleo and yourself, Vetti-sama, have
soleil with the exact same wavelength.
**[12:04] ---**
What does that mean?
**[12:06] ---**
Ultimately, this is
just my conjecture,
**[12:08] ---**
but I wonder if originally one source
of soleil had been split into two,
**[12:12] ---**
and Vetti-sama, you and Cleo
**[12:13] ---**
each had them implanted
into your bodies.
**[12:17] ---**
Implanted? From one
original source of soleil?
**[12:20] ---**
Yes. But perhaps it wasn't just
the soleil that had been split in two.
**[12:26] ---**
How do you mean?
**[12:28] ---**
Vetti-sama, what is
the meaning of this?!
**[12:30] ---**
You put my father in prison?!
**[12:32] ---**
Oh, that?
**[12:34] ---**
"That"?
**[12:35] ---**
Of course I did. He rigged
Côte-d'Or's control panels,
**[12:39] ---**
and tried to take us
into the Black Cross.
**[12:42] ---**
There is a reason why he did that!
**[12:44] ---**
He did it to obtain
the everlasting galaxy,
**[12:46] ---**
for the sake of all people!
**[12:48] ---**
Do you still believe in that claptrap?
**[12:52] ---**
Claptrap?
**[12:54] ---**
All you'll do is die when
you reach the Black Cross.
**[12:57] ---**
You must have seen
ships that have been
**[12:59] ---**
sucked into the Black Cross
and destroyed, right?
**[13:02] ---**
They were not destroyed!
**[13:04] ---**
They arrived in
the everlasting galaxy!
**[13:07] ---**
You really are your
father's daughter.
**[13:09] ---**
This is a waste of time.
We have nothing more to talk about.
**[13:13] ---**
I am not finished yet!
**[13:15] ---**
Stand aside!
**[13:16] ---**
I will not! Who is that woman?!
**[13:19] ---**
Lately, you are always with her.
Is she your mistress?!
**[13:34] ---**
You disgrace yourself. Would you
care to cool off in the dungeon, too?
**[13:51] ---**
It's no use!
**[13:53] ---**
It isn't in here anywhere.
**[14:13] ---**
You know, it used to get foggy often
in the village where I grew up, too.
**[14:19] ---**
It was a grimy, run-down
fishing village.
**[14:46] ---**
Eckardo!
**[14:51] ---**
Were you waiting there long?
**[14:53] ---**
No, I just happened
to be passing by.
**[14:57] ---**
Did you win?
**[14:59] ---**
You've been fighting again, right?
**[15:01] ---**
Sure I did! There were five punks,
all of them bigger than me.
**[15:06] ---**
But I didn't lose.
**[15:08] ---**
Whenever that happens,
the first thing to do
**[15:11] ---**
is lay out the strongest guy.
**[15:13] ---**
If you do that, the others
will get scared and run away.
**[15:17] ---**
And your clothes won't
get torn, either.
**[15:19] ---**
I know.
**[15:21] ---**
Still, it's nice, you know...
**[15:24] ---**
Having someone there,
waiting for you.
**[15:37] ---**
Yow!
**[15:38] ---**
Hey, I'm hungry!
**[15:43] ---**
Don't mind if I do-
**[15:47] ---**
Huh? Again?
**[15:56] ---**
Come on!
**[16:00] ---**
Come at me like you mean it!
**[16:03] ---**
You left your side open!
**[16:08] ---**
If that had been a real sword,
you would be dead!
**[16:11] ---**
I know...
**[16:13] ---**
Think two or three moves
ahead when you attack!
**[16:16] ---**
That goes for both swordsmanship
and shipside tactics!
**[16:19] ---**
Yeah... Here I come!
**[16:35] ---**
You lied to me today,
didn't you?
**[16:37] ---**
What?
**[16:38] ---**
You lied when you said
you won your fight!
**[16:41] ---**
Would the winner be crying?!
**[16:43] ---**
I wasn't crying!
**[16:44] ---**
Then go settle the score
again tomorrow!
**[16:47] ---**
I'm not letting you come
home until you've won!
**[17:01] ---**
Heh, you're not even
as good as your word!
**[17:03] ---**
You said in the future, you were
going to take over the world, huh?
**[17:06] ---**
That's what that blowhard
old geezer tells you, right?
**[17:10] ---**
Take that back!
Eckardo is no blowhard!
**[17:15] ---**
How is someone who can't even beat me
supposed to take over the world, huh?!
**[17:22] ---**
If you're a man...
then fight me one-on-one!
**[17:28] ---**
Hey.
**[17:42] ---**
We're not done yet.
**[17:44] ---**
I'm not about... to lose to you!
**[17:56] ---**
Yow-w-w-w! Let me go,
you... you... you...
**[18:00] ---**
You admit defeat?
**[18:02] ---**
W- who, me? Not to you!
**[18:06] ---**
I admit it! I admit it! I lose!
**[18:09] ---**
You take back
the blowhard thing, too?!
**[18:11] ---**
I take it back! I take it back!
**[18:19] ---**
I won't forget this!
**[18:21] ---**
I'll take you on anytime!
**[18:29] ---**
I really did win.
**[18:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:33] ---**
But is this right?
**[18:37] ---**
Doing nothing but fighting here
in this corner of the galaxy?
**[18:42] ---**
Will I really be able to take
over the world like this?
**[18:47] ---**
Right now, you just need
to nurture yourself.
**[18:51] ---**
Then, you'll become a great man.
**[18:56] ---**
A great man, huh?
**[18:58] ---**
That's all he ever pounded into me.
**[19:03] ---**
Where is he now?
**[19:04] ---**
He's dead.
**[19:07] ---**
He left his treasure with me.
**[19:14] ---**
Cleo... Cleo...
**[19:17] ---**
The time for you to depart is here.
Now is when everything begins.
**[19:21] ---**
There is no turning back now.
**[19:24] ---**
Go, together with Aeolus,
your other self.
**[19:31] ---**
That ship has inherited the spirit
of your father, Magnus Corvalle,
**[19:35] ---**
and of your mother, Elvia-sama.
**[19:44] ---**
Eckardo always used to say that
whenever anything bad happens,
**[19:48] ---**
embrace an even bigger dream
than you ever had before.
**[19:51] ---**
It allows you to forget
about the little things.
**[19:53] ---**
As such, those bad things give you
the chance to become a great person.
**[20:02] ---**
There's no need to take
everything on by yourself.
**[20:07] ---**
I've placed you inside my pocket.
**[20:09] ---**
That means that I accept
everything about you.
**[20:19] ---**
I have just one request.
**[20:30] ---**
Just for tonight...
think of me as a woman.
**[20:43] ---**
Is Cleo... in there?
**[20:54] ---**
Why am I crying? Why am I crying?
**[21:08] ---**
Just a minute...
**[21:10] ---**
I'm sorry... I'm... not worthy
of having you sleep with me.
**[21:18] ---**
Me... me... and Vetti...
**[21:22] ---**
Don't say anything.
Just keep quiet and be mine.
**[21:39] ---**
"Like Scarlet"
**[21:56] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[22:02] ---**
*under my breath, I look at the screen.*
**[22:09] ---**
*Searching for the key to the future,*
**[22:15] ---**
*I've torn my pocket.*
**[22:22] ---**
*Have I any doubts?*
**[22:28] ---**
*Will the light shine?*
**[22:35] ---**
*What is right?*
**[22:40] ---**
*As I struggle, I move into the distance.*
**[22:47] ---**
*I am the only one,*

*and the words that issue forth*
**[23:05] ---**
*want to catch*
**[23:08] ---**

**[23:15] ---**
An impulse that no one can stop...
A confession that is difficult to accept...

**[00:17] ---**
What is man's destiny?
When a person stands on tiptoe,
**[00:21] ---**
reaching out to touch
their star of destiny,
**[00:24] ---**
they are tripped up in the torrent of
a great river, and sink down into it.
**[00:30] ---**
We are bound together by
the heavy chains of destiny.
**[00:34] ---**
It is not by sharpened sword,
much less by strength of axe,
**[00:40] ---**
that these chains can be cut...
**[00:43] ---**
But if there is one thing
that could do it,
**[00:46] ---**
it would be the wind
blowing through them.
**[01:00] ---**
I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,
**[01:07] ---**
but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.
**[01:14] ---**
I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,
**[01:21] ---**
but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.
**[01:28] ---**
I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.
**[01:30] ---**
Don't bury your head in your hands.
**[01:32] ---**
Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
**[01:33] ---**
In time it will all feel
just like it should!
**[01:36] ---**
Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind
**[01:43] ---**
that someday, this will all be real.
**[01:50] ---**
Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.
**[01:56] ---**
I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
**[02:21] ---**
"When the end comes,
a two-headed eagle..."
**[02:25] ---**
I found it!
**[02:34] ---**
I wonder if originally one source
of soleil had been split into two,
**[02:38] ---**
and Vetti-sama, you and Cleo each
had them implanted into your bodies.
**[02:44] ---**
A two-headed eagle...
Does that refer to me and Cleo?
**[02:50] ---**
If that's so, then in time,
which one of us will unite the galaxy?
**[02:57] ---**
You will be the one
who unites the galaxy.
**[03:00] ---**
Rachel...
**[03:02] ---**
You must not become discouraged.
**[03:05] ---**
The one clad in armor of iron
is undoubtedly you, Vetti-sama.
**[03:09] ---**
And the god of love is
also undoubtedly me.
**[03:14] ---**
The reason why things
have taken this turn
**[03:16] ---**
is because you have gone
against your destiny.
**[03:19] ---**
My destiny? Me?
**[03:22] ---**
Yes. Right now,
we are to become one.
**[03:26] ---**
It is by our becoming one
**[03:29] ---**
that the dream of galactic
unification is to be achieved.
**[03:34] ---**
Now, give over everything to me.
**[04:07] ---**
Vetti-sama?
**[04:12] ---**
Where are you going?
**[04:14] ---**
To cleanse my defiled lips.
**[04:20] ---**
That's going too far...
**[04:23] ---**
That's going too far, Vetti-sama...
**[04:32] ---**
Why did I think of him?
**[04:35] ---**
Just what is there
between him and me?
**[04:40] ---**
No matter. Either way,
what I must do is the same.
**[04:44] ---**
I will ascertain what our destiny is.
**[04:48] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[04:52] ---**
I figured out the riddle!
**[04:54] ---**
Ralph...
**[04:55] ---**
Look at this!
**[04:58] ---**
I clarified what Guildy told you
**[05:00] ---**
with this book that was
in Gorna's secret room.
**[05:03] ---**
"The box that maketh
the two-headed eagle
**[05:06] ---**
doth sleep within the child of stars."
**[05:09] ---**
Yes. The box is the royal family's ship,
**[05:12] ---**
and the child of stars is a bracered.
**[05:14] ---**
So that's it.
**[05:16] ---**
Then that means that the old royal
family's ship is inside the bracered.
**[05:20] ---**
Yes. And if we examine that ship,
**[05:23] ---**
we might learn of a way to
save your life, Vetti-sama!
**[05:28] ---**
Let's go then, to the child of stars.
**[05:32] ---**
Right!
**[05:36] ---**
I can't go on crying like this.
**[05:39] ---**
I'm sure that Vetti-sama must
be being tricked by someone.
**[05:43] ---**
I'm the only one who can lead
Vetti-sama down the correct path.
**[05:47] ---**
Me, the god of love...
**[05:56] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[06:00] ---**
Oh, it's you. Go away.
I'm busy right now.
**[06:05] ---**
You look like you're enjoying yourself.
Are you going somewhere?
**[06:09] ---**
That's right. I'm going
somewhere with Vetti-sama.
**[06:12] ---**
My, how wonderful. Where to?
**[06:16] ---**
None of your business. Why don't
you go back to Barotica already?
**[06:20] ---**
You're just in the way around here.
**[06:26] ---**
At last, I know who is leading
Vetti-sama down the wrong path.
**[06:38] ---**
Your Imperial Excellency!
**[06:39] ---**
Good work. Is everything ready?
**[06:42] ---**
We have acquired information
from the territorial ships
**[06:44] ---**
that have sustained
damage by bracereds.
**[06:47] ---**
Ralph-sama is also already aboard.
**[06:49] ---**
All right, see to it.
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:05] ---**
How adorable! But that's me for you!
I have to let Vetti-sama see me!
**[07:15] ---**
May you have joy in
the light of the Cross.
**[07:39] ---**
I thought we... would finally
be together... Vetti-sama...
**[08:09] ---**
Cleo!
**[08:17] ---**
What's the matter?
**[08:18] ---**
I deciphered a coded message.
Vetti is secretly headed toward a bracered.
**[08:24] ---**
A bracered?!
**[08:26] ---**
Cleo!
**[08:27] ---**
This could be our chance
to meet with him.
**[08:38] ---**
Is the secret to the prophecy
really inside there?
**[08:43] ---**
It's so beautiful.
**[08:46] ---**
Almost like a treasure box
in the dark abyss.
**[08:49] ---**
Rachel, when did you get here?
This is no place for you to be.
**[08:54] ---**
Ah, what sort of jewels
lie inside it, I wonder.
**[08:58] ---**
Yes, this is your present to me,
isn't it, Vetti-sama?
**[09:03] ---**
Huh? Where is Ralph?
Somebody go call Ralph up here.
**[09:10] ---**
I've picked up Vetti's ship.
**[09:12] ---**
Preparations are
okay here, too. Eimer?
**[09:17] ---**
Eimer?
**[09:18] ---**
He said preparations were okay.
**[09:20] ---**
Oh, yeah.
**[09:22] ---**
What's the matter?
Have a tummyache or something?
**[09:24] ---**
Shut up! Let's go!
**[09:35] ---**
We're entering the track
of the bracered.
**[09:37] ---**
The old royal family ship should
be in there somewhere. Find it.
**[09:41] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[09:59] ---**
Remote operations over
Côte-d'Or are possible again.
**[10:02] ---**
I see. Just hold on.
**[10:05] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[10:07] ---**
Pope Gorna...
**[10:09] ---**
Just be patient a little while longer.
**[10:12] ---**
Preparations are
quietly moving forward.
**[10:15] ---**
I am pleased to hear that.
**[10:23] ---**
Can't you get any closer?!
**[10:25] ---**
This is the best I can do.
**[10:29] ---**
The bracered has suddenly
shifted its track!
**[10:32] ---**
We're in danger unless we move off!
**[10:35] ---**
No, keep riding out the magnetic
storm's currents and take us in.
**[10:40] ---**
It's too dangerous! We're finished
if we collide with anything!
**[10:42] ---**
It's your duty to make
sure that doesn't happen.
**[10:46] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[10:48] ---**
Where are you bidding me
to come to, child of the stars?
**[10:58] ---**
The bracered is approaching.
Moving out of the way.
**[11:01] ---**
There's something strange here.
It's almost like it was waiting for us.
**[11:06] ---**
Us?
**[11:08] ---**
Eimer, take us into the bracered!
**[11:11] ---**
That's crazy! It's a gigantic
magnetic storm in there!
**[11:14] ---**
It's him. Vetti is inside there.
**[11:20] ---**
Whatever happens isn't on me!
**[11:32] ---**
What a tremendous magnetic storm!
**[11:47] ---**
There he is!
**[11:51] ---**
G- glass battleship directly ahead!
**[11:54] ---**
Cleo?! What are you doing here?!
**[11:58] ---**
Wait!
**[12:00] ---**
We didn't come here to fight.
**[12:02] ---**
But what do we do?
**[12:09] ---**
Start up with us in a place
like this, will you?!
**[12:12] ---**
Hail him! I'm going to talk to him!
**[12:15] ---**
We can't. Communications
are impossible.
**[12:40] ---**
Is that...
**[12:41] ---**
There's another glass battleship?!
**[12:43] ---**
No doubt about it.
**[12:45] ---**
That is the old royal family ship,
where the child of stars sleeps.
**[12:48] ---**
I've been expecting you.
**[12:51] ---**
That voice!
**[12:53] ---**
I get it. So it was old lady
Guildy that led us here, huh?
**[12:59] ---**
At last, the time is upon us.
**[13:02] ---**
The time when you two twin
brothers will become one.
**[13:06] ---**
What?!
**[13:09] ---**
You will come here,
and I will tell you all.
**[13:13] ---**
What in the world does she mean?!
**[13:15] ---**
Who knows?
We'll just have to go there.
**[13:19] ---**
It's too dangerous!
What if it's a trap?!
**[13:22] ---**
No worries. He'll be there, too.
**[13:26] ---**
I'm going, too!
**[13:40] ---**
The Admiral said that I had
a blood brother, but...
**[13:45] ---**
Cleo and I are brothers, she says?
**[13:50] ---**
Where are we?
**[13:52] ---**
My, if it isn't Michel.
**[13:55] ---**
Rachel?
**[13:57] ---**
Why are you guys here?
**[13:59] ---**
I wanted to talk to you.
**[14:02] ---**
We have nothing to talk about!
**[14:05] ---**
Wait! We have no
intention of fighting!
**[14:10] ---**
That is enough.
**[14:11] ---**
Old lady, this is too much fun
for just our entertainment.
**[14:15] ---**
Why have you led us here?!
**[14:19] ---**
Listen.
**[14:21] ---**
Now is the time when
I will tell you all.
**[14:25] ---**
Are we sure those two are all right?
**[14:31] ---**
Eimer!
**[14:32] ---**
Hey! The controls, the controls!
**[14:36] ---**
Behold, the box that createth
the two-headed eagle.
**[14:41] ---**
From times of old,
we have used this box,
**[14:46] ---**
continually resequencing
the genetic information of man.
**[14:50] ---**
And then, we used that
as a base to create you,
**[14:55] ---**
in order to bring to pass the prophecy
**[14:57] ---**
that was passed down
to the royal family.
**[14:59] ---**
A prophecy, passed down
to the royal family?
**[15:02] ---**
You must have realized that the galaxy
is now facing its last days.
**[15:11] ---**
In the very near future, we will be drawn
into the Black Cross, and destroyed.
**[15:16] ---**
In order to save us,
**[15:18] ---**
we had to make the prophecy of
the two-headed eagle come true.
**[15:24] ---**
It isn't destruction! All of the people
will obtain time everlasting!
**[15:30] ---**
Are you saying that these
two really are brothers?
**[15:33] ---**
You are indeed the last kings,
the sons of Magnus Corvalle.
**[15:39] ---**
Who do you expect to believe that
story without any hard evidence?
**[15:43] ---**
If you need evidence,
it is within your own bodies.
**[15:48] ---**
You mean the soleil.
**[15:50] ---**
Yes. In order to save your lives,
**[15:54] ---**
we of the Guildy family have used
the ancient technology handed down to us,
**[15:59] ---**
and implanted soleil that has
been divided in two into you,
**[16:03] ---**
in order for the two of you to
become the saviors of the galaxy.
**[16:07] ---**
So what is it you're
telling us to do?!
**[16:10] ---**
Vetti knows what it is.
**[16:14] ---**
In ancient times,
there was this giant warship.
**[16:19] ---**
A giant warship?
**[16:20] ---**
It's said that this warship
**[16:22] ---**
used technologies lost
and unknown to us now...
**[16:25] ---**
...that allowed them to manipulate
even time at their will.
**[16:28] ---**
However, at some point, that giant
warship broke up into many pieces.
**[16:34] ---**
If that giant warship is restored,
**[16:38] ---**
humankind can once again
gain that technology.
**[16:44] ---**
I get it. So we should unite the galaxy,
restore this giant warship,
**[16:49] ---**
and say goodbye to this galaxy.
**[16:52] ---**
So you're saying that
this ancient technology
**[16:55] ---**
is just a tool to accomplish that?
**[16:58] ---**
It appears that I have been
completely off the mark.
**[17:01] ---**
In which case, there is
only one thing for me to do!
**[17:06] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[17:07] ---**
I'm going to take your soleil,
and extend my life!
**[17:12] ---**
Extend your life?
Don't tell me that you, too...
**[17:15] ---**
You, too?
**[17:17] ---**
That's right! In time,
the two will become one.
**[17:20] ---**
It's either you or me that unites
the galaxy, not the two-headed eagle!
**[17:26] ---**
You were just being buffeted
about by your destiny.
**[17:30] ---**
If the royal family
had not fallen that day,
**[17:32] ---**
the two of you would have saved
the galaxy together as brothers.
**[17:36] ---**
If this is what you call destiny,
**[17:38] ---**
then what kind of fate
have I suffered?!
**[17:40] ---**
My life, awash with humiliation
**[17:42] ---**
because of the weakness
of the royal family?!
**[17:44] ---**
The same was true of Cleo.
**[17:47] ---**
Shut up!
**[17:51] ---**
Cleo!
**[17:52] ---**
Do not resent your past.
For you to become saviors,
**[17:57] ---**
it was needful that
your paths be difficult.
**[18:02] ---**
And now, the soleil that were
divided in two seek each other.
**[18:08] ---**
The time is fulfilled.
**[18:11] ---**
You must be joking!
**[18:15] ---**
Why?
**[18:21] ---**
Cleo, let's settle this right here.
**[18:23] ---**
Don't you get it yet?!
**[18:25] ---**
There is something else
that we should be doing!
**[18:27] ---**
We are already walking down a path
from which we cannot return.
**[18:33] ---**
Cleo!
**[18:34] ---**
It is me! I am the god of love
spoken of in the prophecy!
**[18:39] ---**
There is nobody who can stop it now.
**[18:42] ---**
I'm backing out, Vetti.
**[18:44] ---**
What?
**[18:45] ---**
I'm saying that if you'll become
the savior that saves mankind,
**[18:49] ---**
then I'll give you my life.
**[18:51] ---**
Cleo!
**[18:53] ---**
Why, you! Being pitied
is the greatest humiliation!
**[18:58] ---**
Dear!
**[19:10] ---**
What kind of stunt was that?!
**[19:11] ---**
I'm done being tossed
around by destiny.
**[19:14] ---**
What?
**[19:16] ---**
We're going to carve out our
own future, with our own hands.
**[19:20] ---**
Our future?
**[19:22] ---**
That's right. That is
what I stake my life on.
**[19:26] ---**
Then you will have your wish.
**[19:28] ---**
Die!
**[19:43] ---**
Cleo...
**[19:49] ---**
Eimer!
**[19:52] ---**
Our future? You make me sick!
**[19:55] ---**
Vetti!
**[19:57] ---**
Take this to heart: I am not interested
in anything else but beating you.
**[20:03] ---**
Wait!
**[20:05] ---**
That is our destiny!
**[20:07] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[20:10] ---**
It's not like you to do
something like this.
**[20:14] ---**
Now that I've finally gotten you to
hold me... it looks like I've had it...
**[20:18] ---**
You think you're going
to die over this?
**[20:20] ---**
Just tough it out for a bit.
**[20:30] ---**
You were always so close...
so I never realized it... but I...
**[20:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:40] ---**
Ever since the first time I met you...
**[20:43] ---**
I know! Now stop talking!
**[20:48] ---**
Stay with me, Eimer!
**[20:55] ---**
Yikes! The ship is crumbling!
**[20:58] ---**
Where are Cleo and the others?
**[21:00] ---**
Eimer has been wounded!
**[21:01] ---**
Can someone attend to her?!
**[21:03] ---**
I will!
**[21:04] ---**
Heizak! Get the ship
out of here, now!
**[21:07] ---**
As you command!
**[21:17] ---**
Cleo, the next time we meet,
we settle this.
**[21:24] ---**
Vetti-sama!
**[21:25] ---**
Dear!
**[21:26] ---**
Vetti-sama! Vetti-sama!
**[21:36] ---**
I guess we really will
have to settle this...
**[21:40] ---**
Vetti...
**[21:40] ---**
"Like Bloodshed"
**[21:56] ---**
In these streets which have lost their color,
**[22:03] ---**
under my breath, I look at the screen.
**[22:09] ---**
Searching for the key to the future,
**[22:15] ---**
I've torn my pocket.
**[22:22] ---**
Have I any doubts?
**[22:28] ---**
Will the light shine?
**[22:35] ---**
What is right?
**[22:40] ---**
As I struggle, I move into the distance.
**[22:47] ---**
I am the only one,
**[22:50] ---**
my drifting heart is as hard as a cocoon,
**[22:56] ---**
and it protects me,
**[23:00] ---**
but I am not the only one,
**[23:02] ---**
and the words that issue forth
**[23:05] ---**
want to catch
**[23:09] ---**
going round and round.
**[23:15] ---**
An assortment of feelings intermingle as
the galaxy moves into its final days...
**[23:18] ---**
Is it glory or ruin that
the future has in store?
**[23:22] ---**
Next time on Glass Fleet,
"Like a Blood Edict..."

**[00:16] ---**
The boundless universe reaches from
the distant past into the future.
**[00:21] ---**
God and the Devil
continuously battle one another,
**[00:22] ---**
with the universe as their stage.
**[00:25] ---**
People's hearts are
yet another universe.
**[00:28] ---**
Yes, our two selves, who love
each other, and injure each other,
**[00:33] ---**
are indeed God and the Devil.
**[00:36] ---**
And the place where God
and the Devil do battle
**[00:40] ---**
is indeed within our own hearts.
**[00:55] ---**
*I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,*
**[01:02] ---**
*but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.*
**[01:09] ---**
*I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,*
**[01:16] ---**
*but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.*
**[01:23] ---**
*I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.*
**[01:25] ---**
*Don't bury your head in your hands.*
**[01:27] ---**
*Instead give your positive gauge a clip!*
**[01:28] ---**
*In time it will all feel
just like it should!*
**[01:32] ---**
*Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind*
**[01:38] ---**
*that someday, this will all be real.*
**[01:45] ---**
*Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.*
**[01:52] ---**
*I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.*
**[02:15] ---**
What is it?
**[02:17] ---**
Excellency, your hair...
**[02:24] ---**
What's going on here?!
**[02:25] ---**
Vetti-sama, you collapsed
on the way back here,
**[02:28] ---**
and have not woken up
for two whole days.
**[02:32] ---**
I see.
**[02:34] ---**
Your condition is quite serious.
**[02:37] ---**
It is hard for me to say this,
**[02:40] ---**
but the next time you have
a seizure, you will probably...
**[02:44] ---**
Then I don't have a moment to spare.
**[02:49] ---**
Dear!
**[02:52] ---**
Look, look at this!
My, what beautiful hair you have!
**[02:59] ---**
Oh, yes, your adorable
little Ralph-kun
**[03:02] ---**
said he was going on
a journey to find himself.
**[03:06] ---**
So it was you. What have
you done to Ralph?!
**[03:10] ---**
I have done nothing.
**[03:12] ---**
Never mind that, why don't
we go on a trip as well?
**[03:16] ---**
I'm tired of looking at you. Get lost!
**[03:19] ---**
No! Are you not the one who
said that we would become one,
**[03:24] ---**
unite the galaxy,
and save its lost people?
**[03:28] ---**
But you are not the god of love.
**[03:31] ---**
And my true purpose in uniting
the galaxy is to prolong my life.
**[03:37] ---**
To prolong your life?
That is all?
**[03:41] ---**
You and the masses are no
more than tools to that end.
**[03:47] ---**
I, the pope of the Cross-Star
religion's daughter...
**[03:53] ---**
...am just a tool?
**[03:58] ---**
You're behind schedule,
aren't you?
**[04:01] ---**
This is the royal family's
**[04:02] ---**
secret glass manufacturing process,
which never left their premises.
**[04:05] ---**
You expect it to be that simple?
**[04:07] ---**
More importantly, there's
no end to the number
**[04:09] ---**
of territories going over
to the People's Army.
**[04:11] ---**
Are you sure we're all right?
**[04:12] ---**
Of course.
**[04:14] ---**
Thanks to them, we have pinpointed
the location of Bardeaux territory.
**[04:18] ---**
Then, it is almost time.
**[04:21] ---**
Excellency, what has
happened to your hair?
**[04:25] ---**
Do not worry. All warships are to
mobilize for Bardeaux territory.
**[04:29] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[04:30] ---**
But my reborn Invincible
Armada is not ready yet.
**[04:34] ---**
Have it ready in time.
**[04:36] ---**
If we don't use it now,
when will we ever use it?
**[04:51] ---**
You really do have
the devil's own luck, Eimer.
**[04:54] ---**
I mean, you get wounded as badly
as this, and yet you still survive.
**[04:57] ---**
You didn't need to call it
"the devil's luck."
**[05:05] ---**
Oh, no! My glasses, my glasses!
**[05:07] ---**
Where are my glasses?
My glasses...
**[05:14] ---**
Eimer, did something happen
between you and Cleo?
**[05:19] ---**
Not especially.
**[05:21] ---**
That day... I saw...
**[05:24] ---**
Cleo and Michel coming back
from that cabin together.
**[05:28] ---**
By any chance, are those two...
**[05:30] ---**
Shut up!
**[05:31] ---**
Never mind about me,
go help Cleo!
**[05:35] ---**
He's the one who
needs you right now!
**[05:42] ---**
You can take off all of
those embellishments.
**[05:45] ---**
We're going to lighten our tonnage,
and fight them with speed!
**[06:24] ---**
Warships that had moved
to the frontier lands
**[06:26] ---**
in order to escape Vetti's rule,
**[06:29] ---**
as well as some of
the territorial ships
**[06:30] ---**
that were forcibly
annexed by Côte-d'Or,
**[06:33] ---**
have come over to our side.
**[06:35] ---**
Even so, the military power
is still about 70-30.
**[06:39] ---**
What do you think, wind boy?
**[06:43] ---**
I won't say that it'll be plenty,
but still, well done.
**[06:50] ---**
Bad news! The Holy Emperor's forces
are headed this way with a large fleet!
**[06:56] ---**
We knew they would
find us sooner or later.
**[07:01] ---**
It's almost time.
**[07:03] ---**
We still haven't had
enough preparation.
**[07:05] ---**
Shouldn't we avoid fighting yet?
**[07:08] ---**
No, this gives us
the perfect opportunity.
**[07:11] ---**
We can use these meteors
against them if we fight here.
**[07:14] ---**
If we're going to take them on,
**[07:16] ---**
it's now or never.
**[07:21] ---**
Rachel? Rachel?
**[07:24] ---**
Are you listening to me, Rachel?
**[07:27] ---**
As I anticipated, Vetti has dropped
his guard after imprisoning me.
**[07:33] ---**
In the interim, my men have
been moving things forward,
**[07:35] ---**
and Côte-d'Or's functions have
fallen into our possession.
**[07:39] ---**
Now, I can finally accomplish
my true objective.
**[07:45] ---**
I will make it look like we are
trying to reach the Black Cross,
**[07:48] ---**
and then escape to another galaxy.
**[07:51] ---**
I thought we were going to obtain
the everlasting galaxy, weren't we?
**[07:55] ---**
Even if we were to reach the Black Cross,
we would just be destroyed.
**[07:58] ---**
Instead, we can make
Côte-d'Or our own utopia.
**[08:03] ---**
Here, in Côte-d'Or, where the avaricious
nobility have assembled themselves.
**[08:09] ---**
It will make for a fitting
golden utopia, don't you think?
**[08:13] ---**
That little one wants to go outside.
**[08:17] ---**
Rachel, what is the matter with you?
**[08:20] ---**
If anything were to happen to me,
you would become the pope.
**[08:24] ---**
Me? The pope?
**[08:27] ---**
That's right.
**[08:28] ---**
And all of the people will bow
down before you, Pope Rachel.
**[08:34] ---**
How marvelous!
It's flying! I will fly, too!
**[08:41] ---**
Rachel... are you...
**[08:50] ---**
You should still be lying down.
**[08:51] ---**
Shut up. Who's going
to pilot us if I don't?
**[08:56] ---**
Heizak is there, and if it
comes to that, so is Sylua.
**[08:59] ---**
You think I'm going to let
that little girl take over?!
**[09:03] ---**
Come on, back to bed.
**[09:05] ---**
Leave me alone!
**[09:05] ---**
I can't leave you alone!
**[09:08] ---**
I- I can't very well just
leave you alone, you know.
**[09:11] ---**
We're pals, who have been fighting
together a long time, aren't we?
**[09:14] ---**
Pals?
**[09:15] ---**
Huh? W- well, you know, Eimer,
you're important to all of us...
**[09:21] ---**
Then take me to the bridge!
**[09:24] ---**
I'm not about to go dying
all by myself in bed!
**[09:27] ---**
Don't say anything like that!
Don't say you're going to die!
**[09:30] ---**
Besides, you're... you're...
not alone, you know...
**[09:38] ---**
Nowy...
**[09:43] ---**
It's almost time, huh?
**[09:46] ---**
Will we still even be alive
after this battle is over?
**[09:51] ---**
O- of cour-
**[09:53] ---**
If we are still alive, there are lots
of things that I would like to do.
**[09:58] ---**
I'd like to travel to
all sorts of places...
**[10:00] ---**
meet lots of different people...
**[10:03] ---**
fall in love... get married...
**[10:10] ---**
Heizak-san...
**[10:13] ---**
Would you please continue
to watch over me?
**[10:25] ---**
Admiral...
**[10:27] ---**
It looks like this is going
to be my last battle.
**[10:30] ---**
After that, let's share a drink
together again in Heaven.
**[10:40] ---**
Cleo?
**[10:47] ---**
Cleo...
**[10:49] ---**
Are you all right?
**[10:50] ---**
Yeah. Looks like I fell
asleep before I'd realized it.
**[10:57] ---**
Are you sure your body is all right?
**[10:59] ---**
Incessant woman!
**[11:03] ---**
You are... the person
most dear to me.
**[11:11] ---**
I will engrave those
words upon my heart.
**[11:17] ---**
Michel-sama, it is time.
**[11:22] ---**
Go on.
**[11:24] ---**
Promise me one thing.
**[11:26] ---**
Once this battle is over,
you won't go anywhere.
**[11:31] ---**
Who knows? The wind is impulsive.
**[11:36] ---**
Then I will become the wind as well.
**[11:47] ---**
Cleo-sama...
**[11:50] ---**
Please take good
care of Michel-sama.
**[11:54] ---**
You are the only one who is capable
of returning her to being Racine-sama.
**[12:05] ---**
My beloved friends,
zero hour is upon us!
**[12:09] ---**
For a long time, I have gone
on appealing to your spirits!
**[12:14] ---**
And those feelings have not
changed the least bit now!
**[12:17] ---**
--However, we are made to stand
before an even greater crossroads!
**[12:19] ---**
--Now, how about we get underway?
**[12:22] ---**
--Right now, the galaxy is
signaling its final days!
**[12:26] ---**
Even having reached this situation,
**[12:27] ---**
Vetti sees only the wasteland
of his own heart!
**[12:31] ---**
He does not love this galaxy!
**[12:33] ---**
But we are different!
**[12:35] ---**
We love the galaxy,
as well as the future!
**[12:38] ---**
For that reason, we will be victorious,
and with these hands,
**[12:42] ---**
we will take hold of
our peace and freedom!
**[12:51] ---**
Enemy fleet approaching!
**[12:53] ---**
But there's something
unusual about them...
**[13:04] ---**
That's...
**[13:06] ---**
That's, as it were...
**[13:09] ---**
...a glass fleet!
**[13:19] ---**
Brave heroes of the
Holy Emperor's forces,
**[13:22] ---**
now is the time when we
stamp out those outlaws
**[13:26] ---**
who put on the mask
of freedom and peace!
**[13:29] ---**
They say that their righteous
cause justifies even making war.
**[13:35] ---**
However, I say to you that
a righteous war makes any cause holy!
**[13:42] ---**
It is not to peace that
I lead you, but to victory!
**[13:48] ---**
Let us obtain the victory
that will grant us our peace!
**[14:01] ---**
Sure enough, they're using
the meteor swarm as a shield.
**[14:05] ---**
But our glass armor
will not be broken.
**[14:08] ---**
Don't let up! Flush them
out of their den!
**[14:23] ---**
That is indeed the royal
family's secret glass armor.
**[14:27] ---**
So they studied Cleo's ship when
they took it from him, did they?
**[14:31] ---**
Deploy!
**[14:33] ---**
Draw them into our center,
and pound them at point-blank range!
**[14:42] ---**
The royal family's secret glass...
**[14:44] ---**
...is only handed down
through the royal family!
**[14:55] ---**
T- the royal family's
secret is revealed?
**[14:58] ---**
That armor is the real deal!
What do we do?!
**[15:03] ---**
The fools only know the one trick.
**[15:05] ---**
Go! Shoot down that ghost of
the royal family for good this time!
**[15:10] ---**
Your wind has started
to blow, hasn't it?
**[15:13] ---**
You are now the only thing
that stokes my flames.
**[15:19] ---**
Excellency...
**[15:31] ---**
I- insolence! This is His
Imperial Excellency seated here!
**[15:38] ---**
Your... Excellency...
**[15:42] ---**
That was inattentive of me.
**[15:44] ---**
To think that your devilish hands
could reach even my own men...
**[15:49] ---**
"We have been deceiving
each other."
**[15:51] ---**
You are the one who said that,
Your Excellency.
**[15:54] ---**
No, you are no longer
"Your Excellency."
**[15:57] ---**
I will have you executed
as a capital sinner,
**[16:00] ---**
who has corrupted the people.
**[16:03] ---**
Is that the same pretext you
used to get rid of King Corvalle?
**[16:08] ---**
In the Cross-Star religion,
**[16:10] ---**
even one who kills others
can become the pope, then?
**[16:13] ---**
It was all the will of the Black Cross!
**[16:16] ---**
I am able to see the inky
blackness of your lust.
**[16:21] ---**
What?
**[16:22] ---**
You have no intention of
reaching the Black Cross.
**[16:26] ---**
You are planning to use
Côte-d'Or as a foundation...
**[16:28] ---**
...to create your own utopia, and
satisfy your craving to rule, aren't you?
**[16:33] ---**
Oh, shut up, shut up!
I'm going to have you pilloried!
**[16:37] ---**
Take him away!
**[16:39] ---**
Côte-d'Or is breaking away
from the battle front!
**[16:41] ---**
What is going on?
**[16:43] ---**
About that, there has been no
response from Côte-d'Or for some time.
**[16:48] ---**
It can't be that something has
happened to His Excellency...
**[16:51] ---**
Ready His Excellency's vessel!
**[16:52] ---**
What? Côte-d'Or?
Is this part of their strategy?
**[17:04] ---**
Swing us around!
**[17:06] ---**
Swinging around!
**[17:13] ---**
In between their armor. Smash them,
right down to their souls.
**[17:16] ---**
Heartbreaker!!
**[17:43] ---**
The Black Cross is
getting farther away!
**[17:46] ---**
What is going on here?!
**[17:48] ---**
Aren't we going to reach
the Black Cross?!
**[17:55] ---**
Pope...
**[17:57] ---**
This course is moving us farther
away from the Black Cross.
**[18:01] ---**
We will now be heading toward
the end of the galaxy
**[18:04] ---**
most distant from the Black Cross.
**[18:07] ---**
Then we will not obtain
the everlasting galaxy.
**[18:10] ---**
Do you not realize that we
already have obtained it?
**[18:15] ---**
The Holy Emperor's forces
and the People's Army
**[18:18] ---**
will expend themselves
in this battle,
**[18:20] ---**
and when it is over,
the only ones who will
**[18:22] ---**
have any power will be
the Cross-Star religion.
**[18:23] ---**
And Côte-d'Or here will
become our utopia.
**[18:29] ---**
Then sure enough, what His
Excellency said is true, isn't it?
**[18:34] ---**
W- what do you think you're doing?
You would turn against me?!
**[18:38] ---**
All who turn against me are devils!
Devils are to be executed!
**[18:43] ---**
Fire!
**[18:49] ---**
Don't let up! Aim in between
their armor, and return fire!
**[18:53] ---**
Take this!
**[19:01] ---**
Heizak, give them a sampling.
**[19:04] ---**
This is where we come from!
The secret of the royal family!
**[19:25] ---**
Where is the Pope?!
**[19:26] ---**
Get Pope Gorna out here!
**[19:28] ---**
His Eminence is currently offering
prayers for us to reach the Black Cross.
**[19:32] ---**
We have already stopped heading
toward the Black Cross, you know!
**[19:35] ---**
Yeah! We're going to ask Pope
Gorna about this directly!
**[19:39] ---**
W- wait!
**[19:48] ---**
Over there!
**[19:49] ---**
S- stay back! This is holy-
**[19:53] ---**
Don't you understand yet?!
**[19:56] ---**
The end and the beginning are
two sides of the same coin!
**[19:58] ---**
The end of the galaxy is
the beginning of the galaxy,
**[20:01] ---**
and to reach the Black Cross is
to be set free of the Black Cross!
**[20:06] ---**
It is because this is
repeated in every age
**[20:09] ---**
that the Cross-Star
religion goes on living!
**[20:12] ---**
Does that mean that our
suffering will continue forever?
**[20:16] ---**
Huh?! Somebody throw
this devil out of here!
**[20:21] ---**
You're the devil!
**[20:27] ---**
Y- you...
**[20:34] ---**
May you have joy in
the light of the Cross.
**[20:54] ---**
So this is where you are hiding?
**[20:59] ---**
I am returning this to you.
**[21:01] ---**
This is the sword that my father
killed your father with.
**[21:06] ---**
Now, it is time for us to depart.
**[21:18] ---**
If you wish to beat Cleo,
then you must also have love...
**[21:22] ---**
...for the entire galaxy.
**[21:31] ---**
Hey! That's Vetti!
**[21:34] ---**
There's another devil here!
**[21:35] ---**
String up the devil!
**[21:40] ---**
"Like a Blood Edict"
**[21:57] ---**
*In these streets which have lost their color,*
**[22:03] ---**
*under my breath, I look at the screen.*
**[22:09] ---**
*Searching for the key to the future,*
**[22:16] ---**
*I've torn my pocket.*
**[22:22] ---**
*Have I any doubts?*
**[22:29] ---**
*Will the light shine?*
**[22:35] ---**
*What is right?*
**[22:40] ---**
*As I struggle, I move into the distance.*
**[22:48] ---**
*I am the only one,*
**[22:50] ---**
*my drifting heart is as hard as a cocoon,*
**[22:56] ---**
*and it protects me,*
**[23:01] ---**
*but I am not the only one,*
**[23:03] ---**
*and the words that issue forth*
**[23:06] ---**
*want to catch*
**[23:09] ---**
*going round and round.*
**[23:15] ---**
Farewell, my friends.
Farewell, days of revolution.
**[23:18] ---**
A ceremonial bell now tolls
for the dawn of the galaxy.
**[23:21] ---**
Next time on the final episode of
Glass Fleet, "Like an Ovation..."

**[00:20] ---**
Hey! That's Vetti!
**[00:22] ---**
There's another devil here!
**[00:24] ---**
String up the devil!
**[00:40] ---**
This is the end... of everything...
**[00:47] ---**
Rachel-sama?
**[00:50] ---**
Prepare for departure.
**[01:15] ---**
--Excellency!
**[01:15] ---**
--Excellency!
**[01:17] ---**
Status?
**[01:18] ---**
We are still at a standstill.
**[01:21] ---**
However, we have recaptured
Côte-d'Or's primary facilities.
**[01:25] ---**
String up the devil! String up
the traitor! String up the devil!
**[01:36] ---**
Listen to me, everyone!
**[01:38] ---**
As of this moment, I, Rachel,
**[01:40] ---**
am the 247th Pope of
the Cross-Star religion!
**[01:45] ---**
We will now go reach
the Black Cross!
**[01:48] ---**
I will carry on the will of the God
of the Black Cross, whom we serve!
**[01:59] ---**
We are about to destroy Barotica.
**[02:02] ---**
Your Excellency?
**[02:03] ---**
Let them be. This has been
a pointless sidetrack.
**[02:07] ---**
Head for the front lines at once.
**[02:09] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[02:17] ---**
Draw the enemy ships out
of the meteor swarm.
**[02:20] ---**
Have Michel wait for them outside!
**[02:30] ---**
The Black Cross is so close...
**[02:37] ---**
Let us go, to the everlasting galaxy!
**[02:48] ---**
is rapidly growing larger!
**[02:52] ---**
So what about it?
**[02:55] ---**
B- begging your pardon.
**[03:19] ---**
T- they're on our side!
Cease fire!
**[03:26] ---**
Did you see that?
That was Gawain's tactic.
**[03:29] ---**
We devote the royal family
secrets to the Admiral!
**[03:38] ---**
A- all ships, emergency withdrawal!
**[03:42] ---**
There they go.
**[03:43] ---**
Fire!!
**[03:52] ---**
Our glass armor has been broken!
**[03:55] ---**
So it turns out that it was too soon
to use it in actual combat, huh?
**[03:59] ---**
Don't let up! All ships,
become fireballs
**[04:02] ---**
and destroy the enemy fleet!
**[04:08] ---**
What is it?!
**[04:09] ---**
It's the Black Cross! It's pulling
on us with tremendous force!
**[04:13] ---**
What?!
**[04:18] ---**
What? The Black Cross?!
**[04:20] ---**
Uh-huh. With force enough
to swallow the whole galaxy.
**[04:24] ---**
This is no time for us to
be shooting at each other!
**[04:30] ---**
Vetti!
**[04:32] ---**
Follow me, Cleo.
**[04:37] ---**
What do we do?!
**[04:40] ---**
Go.
**[04:41] ---**
All right!
**[04:48] ---**
Cleo! Where do you
think you're going?!
**[05:02] ---**
You bastard! Pierce his heart!
**[05:22] ---**
Eimer! Your wound!
**[05:23] ---**
Shut up! Here goes!
**[05:35] ---**
Circle around 180°!
**[05:36] ---**
Come about 180°!
**[05:45] ---**
Let's do it together.
**[05:50] ---**
Cleo!
**[05:52] ---**
Vetti!
**[06:04] ---**
Concentrate attack on
the enemy flagship!
**[06:07] ---**
Fire, fire, fire away!
**[06:23] ---**
Jean! Are you all right?!
Jean! Jean!
**[06:27] ---**
Grandfather!
**[06:29] ---**
R- Racine-sama... Cleo-sama...
find happiness... with Cleo-sama...
**[06:37] ---**
What are you saying, Jean?!
**[06:39] ---**
Grandfather! Don't you die!
**[06:41] ---**
Have him treated right away!
**[06:43] ---**
Right! Grandfather...
**[06:51] ---**
All hands, abandon ship.
**[06:59] ---**
I will finish them off myself!
Full speed ahead!
**[07:03] ---**
Just you watch!
This is how a warrior fights!
**[07:20] ---**
We're not dead yet.
**[07:27] ---**
Michel-sama! Look!
**[07:29] ---**
Who is it? Who is piloting the ship?!
**[07:36] ---**
Gary! Nordean!
**[07:40] ---**
Why, you ghost of
the old royal family!
**[07:47] ---**
We'll be the wind, too!
**[07:50] ---**
I regret nothing for my youth!
**[07:53] ---**
Why won't it go down?! Why?!
**[08:20] ---**
The enemy's armor
is getting brittle.
**[08:23] ---**
Let's finish this right now!
**[08:26] ---**
New forces! They've
caught us from behind!
**[08:28] ---**
What?! When did they arrive?!
**[08:37] ---**
You're so jejune.
**[08:54] ---**
Find what you were looking for?
**[09:05] ---**
You will now learn how foolish
it was to challenge me to battle.
**[09:34] ---**
How is your wound doing?
**[09:36] ---**
Mind your own business, you drunk!
**[09:55] ---**
Heizak!
**[10:02] ---**
Heizak-san!
**[10:04] ---**
The royal family's secret
purity of heart... is eternal...
**[10:09] ---**
Heizak-san!
**[10:11] ---**
From the moment we
received life in this world...
**[10:15] ---**
...we...
**[10:17] ---**
...were destined to fight each other!
**[10:20] ---**
Will you open your
eyes already, Vetti?!
**[10:23] ---**
I am not your enemy!
**[10:29] ---**
I am not going to lose! Never!
**[10:32] ---**
Vetti!
**[11:00] ---**
I will not allow anyone
to stand above me.
**[11:04] ---**
For I am the Holy Emperor.
**[11:14] ---**
Smash every last one of them.
**[11:18] ---**
Such is the decree from
His Imperial Excellency.
**[11:23] ---**
I can't bear men who
cannot read the times.
**[11:29] ---**
I, Rachel, will be departing
one step ahead of you.
**[11:33] ---**
Vetti-sama, there is but
one thing for you to do.
**[11:38] ---**
Please realize what that is quickly.
**[11:41] ---**
Your Eminence, it is nearly time.
**[11:45] ---**
"When ye do pass beyond the
dark depths of the Black Cross,
**[11:49] ---**
ye shall obtain an
everlasting galaxy."
**[11:55] ---**
Ah... the galaxy...
the galaxy weeps...
**[12:23] ---**
C- Côte-d'Or is breaking
up on its own!
**[12:27] ---**
What? Just what exactly is going on?
**[12:31] ---**
None of the territorial ships
are responding to their controls.
**[12:34] ---**
If this keeps up,
Bardeaux territory will be...
**[12:43] ---**
Cleo!
**[12:44] ---**
This is bad! We're being
pulled into the Black Cross!
**[12:53] ---**
Do you know what this is, Cleo?
**[12:55] ---**
This sword is supposedly the one
**[12:58] ---**
that Gorna used when
he killed King Corvalle.
**[13:01] ---**
Our... father?
**[13:03] ---**
That's right. And now, by this
sword that killed our father,
**[13:08] ---**
my other self will die as well.
**[13:12] ---**
Of all the audacity!
**[13:29] ---**
Vetti, why are you fighting me?
**[13:33] ---**
In order to obtain
unshakable power.
**[13:39] ---**
No... That is not...
what you seek...
**[13:45] ---**
Then what is it?
What is it that I seek?
**[13:52] ---**
Tell me!
**[14:08] ---**
Galactic unification has always been
the wish of the Holy Emperor's forces.
**[14:14] ---**
If this is the will of God,
then what are we?
**[14:18] ---**
For what reason have
we been fighting?
**[14:22] ---**
For what reason have we...
**[14:32] ---**
Hey, they're moving away, fast!
**[14:36] ---**
The controls aren't working!
**[14:39] ---**
Is this what he meant
when he said that, in time,
**[14:42] ---**
the wind would summon the storm?
**[14:45] ---**
Tell me, Cleo!
**[14:46] ---**
What is it that I am seeking?!
**[14:49] ---**
What is it that I am seeking?!
**[14:58] ---**
Cleo!!
**[15:08] ---**
Tell me. Just what is it
that I am seeking?
**[15:15] ---**
Something that you had lost
since the time you were born.
**[15:19] ---**
The thing that you
find most detestable.
**[15:23] ---**
That's right. I have been
alone this whole time.
**[15:28] ---**
Not realizing it on my own,
I sought only power,
**[15:32] ---**
and as a result, I kept losing
that which I sought the most.
**[15:37] ---**
Cleo, how did you...
**[15:41] ---**
I don't really know.
I just had Eckardo there for me.
**[15:48] ---**
But Vetti, you aren't all alone.
**[15:54] ---**
I've finally figured out
what Guildy was saying.
**[15:58] ---**
If I am the one clad
in armor of iron,
**[16:01] ---**
then Vetti, you are
the god of love.
**[16:05] ---**
Me?
**[16:07] ---**
That's right. From now on,
you will go on living for love.
**[16:13] ---**
Me? Live for love?
**[16:17] ---**
Your rose has now bloomed.
**[17:10] ---**
And so, our long battle
came to an end.
**[17:19] ---**
If the gods of the universe
created these stars,
**[17:25] ---**
then who exactly was it that brought
about the origins of us humans-
**[17:31] ---**
no, of all life?
**[17:35] ---**
If there really is an
answer to that question,
**[17:38] ---**
then it is in the wind.
**[17:41] ---**
Only the wind knows it.
**[17:47] ---**
Michel-sama, it's time.
**[17:59] ---**
Thinking back, it has
been a long journey.
**[18:02] ---**
But this does not
mean that it is over.
**[18:07] ---**
The end is just the beginning
of a new journey.
**[18:11] ---**
Michel-sama, everyone
is waiting for you.
**[18:24] ---**
Having overcome time everlasting,
we have finally become one!
**[18:29] ---**
This territorial warship
upon which we stand...
**[18:32] ---**
...is our home,
and our point of origin!
**[18:36] ---**
Today, we bid farewell to
a galaxy as it meets its end,
**[18:41] ---**
and with this reborn
ancient technology,
**[18:44] ---**
begin our journey
toward a new world!
**[18:47] ---**
As we have joined together as one,
and attained a new power,
**[18:51] ---**
we will also attain our future,
under our own power!
**[19:11] ---**
That was a wonderful speech.
**[19:14] ---**
That is as much as I can do.
From here on, you lead everyone.
**[19:22] ---**
The last thing the wind told
me was to give that to you.
**[19:28] ---**
We will surely carve out
our own future, you'll see.
**[19:32] ---**
Together with the other
"me" inside of me.
**[19:40] ---**
I ended up never thinking
of anyone but myself.
**[19:46] ---**
I am not fit to be an emperor.
**[19:50] ---**
As long as you understand that,
I will give you my life.
**[19:55] ---**
In exchange, you will
carve out the future.
**[19:59] ---**
Are you sure you're okay with that?
**[20:02] ---**
A life that is lived only for
oneself comes to an end at death,
**[20:06] ---**
but a life that is spent for others
**[20:09] ---**
leaves a living testament,
even after death.
**[20:12] ---**
A living testament...
**[20:21] ---**
Cleo...
**[20:41] ---**
The wind just whispered...
**[20:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:52] ---**
The heavy chains have been loosed.
**[20:55] ---**
Spread your angel's wings...
**[20:58] ---**
...and become... your own wind.
**[21:10] ---**
Acquiring time-space wave cycle.
**[21:12] ---**
All right, soleil turbines
at maximum output!
**[21:15] ---**
Launch preparations complete.
**[21:19] ---**
We're going to transcend time
and space, and become the wind, too!
**[21:26] ---**
Launch!
**[21:38] ---**
