**[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] ---**

The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
