[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] ---
    Next time on Glass Fleet,
    "Like Daybreak"
[23:26] ---
    "Like Daybreak"
[23:26] ---
    The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
