[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.
[23:26] ---
    "Like a Labyrinth"
