# Gun X Sword
There’s a claw-fisted, genocidal maniac terrorizing the planet of endless illusion, and only Van, a tight-lipped loner in a jet black tuxedo, can bring the scoundrel to justice. Armed with his shape-shifting sword and a mechanized suit of armor, Van hunts the villain who murdered his one true love. With any luck, he’ll find the man he seeks before the sun sets on civilization.

**[00:34] ---**
Couldn't you have died...
**[00:36] ---**
after I'd eaten you...?
**[00:59] ---**
"Tuxedo Blowing in the Wind"
**[01:18] ---**
Excuse me, could I have something to eat?
**[01:29] ---**
Are you one of them?!
**[01:31] ---**
No! So please don't shoot!
**[01:34] ---**
What'd you come here for?
**[01:35] ---**
I'm a tourist.
**[01:37] ---**
In a tuxedo?
**[01:38] ---**
Get lost!
**[01:40] ---**
Yeah...
**[01:41] ---**
Wait!
**[01:42] ---**
Leave your valuables while you're at it.
**[01:45] ---**
You got a problem with that?
**[01:46] ---**
No, I don't.
**[01:48] ---**
Come here.
**[01:49] ---**
Yeah, sure thing.
**[01:57] ---**
You're the ones who did this?
**[01:59] ---**
You got a problem with that?
**[02:01] ---**
Oh, no... That's not what I meant at all.
**[02:05] ---**
They drew first. It was self-defense.
**[02:09] ---**
You don't want to end up
the same way, do you?
**[02:11] ---**
Then keep quiet and give
us everything you've got.
**[02:13] ---**
The tuxedo too!
**[02:16] ---**
Sorry, but that's...
**[02:18] ---**
You complaining again, huh?
**[02:22] ---**
Oh, sorry about that. Didn't mean to.
**[02:23] ---**
You!
**[02:23] ---**
Oh, I don't mean to.
**[02:37] ---**
Sorry. I don't mean to.
**[02:50] ---**
I didn't mean to...
**[02:54] ---**
Thanks. You saved me.
**[02:57] ---**
I wasn't trying to save you.
**[03:02] ---**
I'm Wendy.
**[03:05] ---**
People call me... Van the...
**[03:18] ---**
Oh, you're awake?
**[03:20] ---**
You must be hungry.
**[03:22] ---**
I'll treat you to something for saving me.
**[03:29] ---**
Open please.
**[03:30] ---**
Yep.
**[03:42] ---**
Wendy! What about the others?
**[03:45] ---**
The wild bunch...
**[03:46] ---**
I see. But you made it back OK.
**[03:50] ---**
You must have been scared.
**[03:53] ---**
I'm sorry. The others weren't...
**[03:55] ---**
Yeah, we'll take care of them.
**[04:01] ---**
Is the mayor around?
**[04:04] ---**
They're called the "Wild Bunch."
**[04:06] ---**
I think it was about two months ago...
**[04:08] ---**
they suddenly showed up here.
**[04:12] ---**
The robbing and looting
began the day they arrived.
**[04:14] ---**
Only the people who took refuge
in this mall have managed to survive.
**[04:19] ---**
They're still hanging out
near the town's entrance...
**[04:21] ---**
and they've got their sights
trained on the huge vault here.
**[04:25] ---**
The police station was burned down.
**[04:27] ---**
We can't even make contact
with nearby towns.
**[04:31] ---**
The people still left have resisted...
**[04:34] ---**
but their numbers are dwindling.
**[04:38] ---**
There are no young people left anymore.
**[04:41] ---**
Rubens, the one who put
together the citizens' patrol group...
**[04:44] ---**
is now in a coffin in the church.
**[04:46] ---**
And Michael...
**[04:47] ---**
Mayor...
**[04:50] ---**
Michael is Wendy's older brother.
**[04:53] ---**
The two of them were close, but...
**[04:55] ---**
a week ago he was taken away.
**[04:57] ---**
I hope he's still alive, but...
**[05:00] ---**
Here's the dressing to go with it.
**[05:05] ---**
That's... for the salad.
**[05:08] ---**
As long as we're in the mall, we're safe.
**[05:11] ---**
They can't get to us here.
**[05:13] ---**
But we have to settle this sometime soon.
**[05:18] ---**
We can't afford to lose any more people...
**[05:24] ---**
Like I said, we can't afford to...
**[05:25] ---**
It's good!
**[05:27] ---**
Do you have any milk?
**[05:29] ---**
The cows were the first
things they made off with.
**[05:32] ---**
But we do have wine, if you'd like...
**[05:33] ---**
Oh, no. Water's fine.
**[05:36] ---**
So then...
**[05:37] ---**
will you be our bodyguard?
We'll feed you and pay you.
**[05:41] ---**
What do you say?
**[05:45] ---**
Why is he wearing a tuxedo?
**[05:55] ---**
Day after day, they keep coming back.
**[05:57] ---**
You rats squirming in
your stinking ditchwater!
**[06:01] ---**
Heed our lord, Lucky the Roulette.
**[06:05] ---**
For man, each day is a test.
**[06:08] ---**
Desire, dreams, and fate all trying him.
**[06:14] ---**
Only the man who does not run
away from those things can obtain luck.
**[06:21] ---**
How about me?
**[06:24] ---**
How about today?
**[06:31] ---**
Another lucky day!
**[06:34] ---**
Lucky!
**[06:35] ---**
Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!
**[06:44] ---**
I'll tell you how it is.
**[06:46] ---**
In this world there are
two things which are equal.
**[06:50] ---**
One is death. And the other is luck!
**[06:54] ---**
The two will be coming
together to this town tomorrowl
**[06:59] ---**
You've disregarded our
negotiations up until today!
**[07:05] ---**
You should pay the price for it.
**[07:07] ---**
What's that?
**[07:15] ---**
How's that?
**[07:17] ---**
Strike!
**[07:21] ---**
What is it?
**[07:22] ---**
Remember well!
**[07:23] ---**
This is the power of the Armor!
**[07:27] ---**
The Armor?
**[07:29] ---**
Your defense is over!
**[07:32] ---**
Your luck has run out!
**[07:34] ---**
The Armor will come tomorrow night!
**[07:37] ---**
Surrender and give up the vault by then!
**[07:40] ---**
Don't press your luck!
It's pointless! You got it?
**[07:44] ---**
That's your only "Survival Lucky Road"!
**[07:48] ---**
That's all Lord Lucky has for today.
**[07:57] ---**
I'm begging you! Be our bodyguard!
**[08:00] ---**
There's no way of knowing if
we'll be safe even if we surrender!
**[08:04] ---**
You can have whatever
you want! Money! Women!
**[08:06] ---**
But we need you now!
Before the Armor arrives!
**[08:08] ---**
You have to do something
about Lucky tonight!
**[08:12] ---**
Do it yourself.
**[08:15] ---**
It's cheaper.
**[08:16] ---**
Wait! Please wait!
**[08:20] ---**
Van!
**[08:27] ---**
So what kind of a guy was he?
**[08:30] ---**
He wore a tuxedo and a hat.
**[08:32] ---**
He used a strange sword.
**[08:34] ---**
He came out of nowhere but...
**[08:35] ---**
he didn't seem to be their aid.
**[08:41] ---**
It's him...
**[08:44] ---**
Give me a milk. Make it a large.
**[08:47] ---**
What's your name?
**[08:50] ---**
Van...
**[08:51] ---**
Well now, I've heard of
the Van who's out of work...
**[08:55] ---**
and the Van who eats
without paying the bill...
**[08:57] ---**
and the crybaby Van from hell.
**[08:59] ---**
But which one are you?
**[09:01] ---**
None of them. I'm just plain Van.
**[09:04] ---**
I see. So what did you come here for?
**[09:07] ---**
Like I said, I came for a drink of milk...
**[09:10] ---**
All right, all right.
**[09:13] ---**
Come on over here, Van.
**[09:15] ---**
Let's play together.
**[09:23] ---**
We'll take the cards off
the top one by one.
**[09:26] ---**
The one who pulls the joker loses.
**[09:29] ---**
We'll see who's the lucky one, me or you.
**[09:34] ---**
I just wanted a drink of milk but...
**[09:38] ---**
I'll let you drown yourself in it,
after we're done with this.
**[09:42] ---**
All right, you go first.
**[09:44] ---**
Why are you so concerned with luck?
**[09:48] ---**
It's the only thing which
is in God's domain.
**[09:51] ---**
There's no training, or
polishing one's skills.
**[09:55] ---**
That's why I want to test it.
**[09:57] ---**
I want to find out what
God thinks of me, get it?
**[10:02] ---**
Whatever...
**[10:07] ---**
Why the hell do we have to stand guard?
**[10:18] ---**
If I win...
**[10:23] ---**
can I leave here safely?
**[10:26] ---**
I won't let anyone else interfere with you.
**[10:29] ---**
And I only shoot people from the front.
**[10:33] ---**
That's my personal code.
**[10:35] ---**
Luck doesn't come to those
who shoot people in the back.
**[10:40] ---**
That's a relief. Turn over the card.
**[10:46] ---**
The one who draws the joker loses, right?
**[10:54] ---**
Don't scare me.
**[10:57] ---**
Two cards left.
**[10:59] ---**
Oh, that's too bad...
**[11:00] ---**
Too bad for me.
**[11:03] ---**
You win.
**[11:06] ---**
Lucky!
**[11:08] ---**
Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!
**[11:12] ---**
You're a good man, Van.
**[11:15] ---**
You've got guts, and you're brave.
**[11:17] ---**
I'll forget about what
happened at the church.
**[11:20] ---**
Right, and I'd like some milk as well.
**[11:24] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[11:25] ---**
I like people who are more willing
to cater to my immediate interests.
**[11:31] ---**
Throw him out!
**[11:34] ---**
Serves you right!
**[11:35] ---**
Save your luck, why don't you?
**[11:38] ---**
Get the hell outta here, you freak!
**[12:02] ---**
It's not fair!
**[12:03] ---**
What?
**[12:04] ---**
Why won't you help us if you're so strong?
**[12:07] ---**
It's not fair.
**[12:09] ---**
There's nothing unfair.
**[12:11] ---**
Now listen, it's my
decision what I do for who.
**[12:15] ---**
There's no reason for me to
protect you people right now.
**[12:19] ---**
You're so cruel!
**[12:20] ---**
I'm not cruel.
**[12:22] ---**
Think about what you can do yourself.
**[12:29] ---**
I can do something.
**[12:33] ---**
I'll...
**[12:35] ---**
I'll be your...
**[12:39] ---**
your bride!
**[12:46] ---**
Huh?! What's that?!
**[12:48] ---**
I'm saying I'll marry you!
**[12:51] ---**
Marriage...? That's not
what I'm talking about!
**[12:53] ---**
You're going to desert your wife and go?!
**[12:56] ---**
Do you know what a wife is?!
**[13:00] ---**
I know...
**[13:01] ---**
about half of it.
**[13:02] ---**
Half is no good.
**[13:04] ---**
I'll study the rest.
**[13:05] ---**
Who's going to teach you?
**[13:11] ---**
I'm a virgin!
**[13:13] ---**
I am too!
**[13:14] ---**
Don't say that! It's not decent!
**[13:16] ---**
What about your parents?
**[13:17] ---**
They're long since gone.
**[13:21] ---**
Look here, that's not it.
**[13:25] ---**
Becoming a bride is a happy thing.
**[13:28] ---**
It should be the happiest
moment in your life.
**[13:33] ---**
Get out of town by tomorrow night.
**[13:37] ---**
I can't do that.
**[13:40] ---**
How am I supposed to wait for my brother...
**[13:44] ---**
if I leave town?
**[13:54] ---**
That's a good look for you.
**[13:57] ---**
Hey. I'll be taking my luck back!
**[14:33] ---**
You all are getting out of here too?
**[14:34] ---**
There's no one stupid enough to wait...
**[14:36] ---**
when they say the
Armor's coming tonight.
**[14:38] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[14:39] ---**
How are we supposed to go
on living if they take the money?
**[14:43] ---**
Being alive is what matters, right?
**[14:45] ---**
It's better to give up quick.
**[14:47] ---**
Are the money and the town so important?
**[15:00] ---**
Good morning! Wake up everybody!
**[15:03] ---**
The Wild Bunch has started their attack.
**[15:05] ---**
-This fortress is our last stand...
*-Big brother...*
**[15:08] ---**
*Protect us!*
**[15:12] ---**
It's time again today for Lord Lucky!
**[15:15] ---**
My Armor has come.
**[15:18] ---**
Those who did not listen to
my advice are the unlucky ones!
**[15:23] ---**
So I give you death!
**[15:27] ---**
And for us, happiness.
**[15:31] ---**
Jack it up! Jack it up!
**[15:32] ---**
Open it all the way!
**[15:33] ---**
Check the gas pressure!
**[15:35] ---**
Oil level 4,000!
**[15:37] ---**
Set it within 100!
**[15:39] ---**
At 10,000 revolutions!
**[15:43] ---**
Armor...
**[15:48] ---**
Lucky time!
**[16:08] ---**
I'll take this as a souvenir.
**[16:12] ---**
Give me my brother back!
**[16:14] ---**
I'm the only lucky one today.
**[16:20] ---**
I'll let you watch the
destruction of your town...
**[16:24] ---**
from your own special seat!
**[16:29] ---**
Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!
**[16:34] ---**
Stop it!
**[16:36] ---**
Watch closely!
**[16:38] ---**
I'll teach you! Luck is life!
**[16:44] ---**
Stop.
**[17:06] ---**
Why?
**[17:08] ---**
Van.
**[17:09] ---**
I've decided. For the girl's sake...
**[17:13] ---**
I'm gonna hack away your
luck until there's nothing left!
**[17:17] ---**
Get me my luck back!
**[17:31] ---**
My luck...
**[17:32] ---**
You!
**[17:34] ---**
Grab your weapons! Protect the town!
**[17:39] ---**
Let's give it a try.
**[17:41] ---**
You're interfering with my luck?
**[17:51] ---**
You shot at me from behind.
**[17:53] ---**
Was your code a lie?
**[17:56] ---**
Shut up, unlucky!
**[17:59] ---**
I won't let you keep the
luck you stole from me!
**[18:04] ---**
Lucky or die.
**[18:12] ---**
My Armor...
**[18:14] ---**
Oh shit!
**[18:15] ---**
Our leader's snapped!
**[18:17] ---**
Invincible!
**[18:18] ---**
Wonderful!
**[18:20] ---**
Comfortable!
**[18:27] ---**
This is no good.
**[18:28] ---**
He'll blow away everything
including the safe!
**[18:35] ---**
Now do you understand?
**[18:37] ---**
Luck is only for me.
**[18:39] ---**
Wrong.
**[18:41] ---**
Someone who breaks his word like you...
**[18:43] ---**
doesn't get a second chance.
**[18:54] ---**
Shut up, unlucky!
**[19:16] ---**
It can't be...
**[19:25] ---**
Another Armor?
**[19:26] ---**
Van?
**[19:27] ---**
It can't be! You're an Armor rider too?
**[19:40] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[19:50] ---**
My luck!
**[19:52] ---**
Give me my luck back!
**[19:54] ---**
Please!
**[19:55] ---**
I don't want to.
**[20:06] ---**
Don't come any closer, unlucky!
**[20:16] ---**
My luck hasn't run out yet!
**[20:26] ---**
There's no escape in mid-air!
**[20:29] ---**
Disappear!
**[20:31] ---**
Go away!
**[20:32] ---**
Break apart and disperse!
**[20:33] ---**
Unlucky!
**[20:36] ---**
Chesuto!
**[20:46] ---**
How could you?!
**[20:49] ---**
The unlucky one... is you.
**[21:02] ---**
Where's my brother?
**[21:04] ---**
We sold him off.
**[21:05] ---**
He told us to bring him along.
**[21:08] ---**
Who?
**[21:09] ---**
The man with the claw on his right hand.
**[21:13] ---**
The claw!
**[21:19] ---**
Where?! Where is he?!
**[21:22] ---**
I don't know!
**[21:23] ---**
Where?!
**[21:24] ---**
I'm telling you the truth.
**[21:25] ---**
My team and my luck
are gone, so why would I lie?
**[21:27] ---**
I'm asking you where he is!
**[21:31] ---**
Van! Van!
**[21:43] ---**
As long as we have this,
we can rebuild somehow.
**[21:47] ---**
Everyone will come back, won't they?
**[21:49] ---**
Yes.
**[21:52] ---**
Oh, speaking of which,
what about those two?
**[21:56] ---**
To tell you the truth...
**[21:59] ---**
It's been a long time since
I've seen such a beautiful sun.
**[22:01] ---**
The sun's always the same.
**[22:04] ---**
No. Today's special.
**[22:07] ---**
You brought it with you.
**[22:13] ---**
I like that.
**[22:15] ---**
All right, from now on
I'm "Van of the Dawn."
**[22:18] ---**
Well then...
**[22:28] ---**
Hey, I was thinking...
**[22:30] ---**
What?
**[22:32] ---**
Since we're both after the same person...
**[22:33] ---**
shouldn't we go together?
**[22:37] ---**
I've left word with the
mayor that I'm leaving town.
**[22:40] ---**
And two people would be better than one.
**[22:42] ---**
Go back.
**[22:43] ---**
No.
**[22:44] ---**
Go on home, you little brat.
**[22:46] ---**
Don't treat me like a child.
**[22:48] ---**
Because I'm ready to be
your wife at any time.
**[22:56] ---**
You don't understand anything.
**[22:58] ---**
You're a disgrace to the
good name of all true wives.
**[23:00] ---**
What's in a name? It's
better to be together.
**[23:03] ---**
Hey, Van.
**[23:04] ---**
No.
**[23:05] ---**
Van...
**[23:06] ---**
You don't give up, do you?
**[23:07] ---**
Van.
**[23:08] ---**
Shut up!
**[23:12] ---**
Why are you in a tuxedo?
**[23:54] ---**

**[01:47] ---**
*The idiot's utopia.*
**[01:50] ---**
*The planet people call "Endless Illusion."*
**[01:56] ---**
*A man named Van, who
operates the strongest Armor.*
**[02:01] ---**
*A girl named Wendy, who's
searching for her kidnapped brother.*
**[02:07] ---**
*At the end of the wasteland,
one stares at despair...*
**[02:10] ---**
*the other at hope.*
**[02:13] ---**
*The two are now taking the
first steps on their fateful journey.*
**[02:19] ---**
"Funny Stream"
**[02:24] ---**
Is this the ocean?
**[02:26] ---**
It's a river. Although it
is a bit on the large side.
**[02:28] ---**
"Bridge City"?
**[02:30] ---**
They built the town on
top of a bridge, that's why.
**[02:33] ---**
Should we hurry up and
cross over to the other side?
**[02:35] ---**
But Van, this is the only
bridge around here, right?
**[02:39] ---**
And if that's the case,
my brother and those guys...
**[02:41] ---**
must have passed through here too, no?
**[02:42] ---**
We might find some clues
if we ask people in town.
**[02:45] ---**
The Claw...
**[02:48] ---**
You're...
**[02:51] ---**
pretty smart.
**[02:55] ---**
Wendy Garret, sign here.
**[02:57] ---**
Yes.
**[02:58] ---**
What are you doing?
**[03:00] ---**
I'll take care of myself.
**[03:02] ---**
I do have savings, and
I have to buy some things later.
**[03:05] ---**
Oh... no. That's not what I meant.
**[03:09] ---**
That's amazing. They give you money.
**[03:11] ---**
You don't know what a bank is?
**[03:14] ---**
Today's the first time
I've been inside one.
**[03:18] ---**
Our cheapest room is 7,500.
**[03:21] ---**
Well then, I'd like two
rooms at the next level up.
**[03:24] ---**
I'm very sorry.
**[03:26] ---**
We only have one single left.
**[03:28] ---**
We can have a twin ready, if you'd like...
**[03:31] ---**
I'll be fine. I can sleep...
**[03:33] ---**
I can sleep over there.
**[03:35] ---**
Long time no see...
**[03:36] ---**
"Van, the man who doesn't
choose where to sleep."
**[03:38] ---**
Or was it, "Van, the one
with the hangover."
**[03:41] ---**
Those are old names.
**[03:43] ---**
Now I'm going as, "Van of the Dawn."
**[03:45] ---**
What kind of name is that? It's not cool.
**[03:48] ---**
So what's someone whose specialty is
sleeping out in the open doing at a hotel?
**[03:52] ---**
The girl brought me along with her.
**[03:53] ---**
The girl?
**[03:56] ---**
Who is this?
**[03:58] ---**
She followed me from
the town where I was before.
**[04:00] ---**
A companion? What's her name?
**[04:02] ---**
Um... well...
**[04:04] ---**
Hey, you just said "Um...
well..." didn't you?!
**[04:07] ---**
You don't remember my name?!
**[04:12] ---**
Same as always.
**[04:14] ---**
Well, your partner is a shrimp now.
**[04:17] ---**
Van, who is this?
**[04:19] ---**
This...?
**[04:20] ---**
Um... well...
**[04:22] ---**
Van! You've forgotten my name, too?!
**[04:26] ---**
Sorry.
**[04:29] ---**
How many sugars, shrimp?
**[04:32] ---**
I don't need any.
**[04:33] ---**
Also, my name is Wendy Garret.
What about you?
**[04:37] ---**
I'm Carul Mendosa, information broker.
**[04:40] ---**
People call me "Carmen 99."
**[04:44] ---**
Information broker...
**[04:47] ---**
Ninety-nine...
**[04:53] ---**
You're still too young
for coffee, aren't you?
**[04:55] ---**
Yes.
**[04:56] ---**
Excuse me, I'd like all your condiments.
**[04:59] ---**
All of them.
**[05:01] ---**
Certainly.
**[05:02] ---**
Say, getting back to what
we were talking about before...
**[05:05] ---**
If you're looking for clues about
someone who crossed the bridge...
**[05:07] ---**
just ask at the
checkpoint on the other side.
**[05:10] ---**
You are searching for him
after all, aren't you?
**[05:12] ---**
And with his features, you can't miss him.
**[05:14] ---**
Great.
**[05:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:16] ---**
But you can't go now.
**[05:17] ---**
They closed the bridge five days ago.
**[05:20] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
**[05:22] ---**
What do you mean "they closed the bridge"?
**[05:24] ---**
It's old and falling apart.
**[05:25] ---**
They say they need to
inspect it and make repairs.
**[05:27] ---**
When will they finish?
**[05:28] ---**
I don't know.
**[05:29] ---**
Is there anything else we
can do to try and find out?
**[05:33] ---**
Hey, what about some other way?
**[05:36] ---**
The only way is to cross the bridge.
**[05:38] ---**
There's no getting around it.
**[05:40] ---**
I see.
**[05:41] ---**
The mayor will be speaking
publicly about the issue today.
**[05:44] ---**
I'm going!
**[05:47] ---**
It's a hassle, but...
**[05:49] ---**
what's the time and place?
**[05:50] ---**
Is this an official job?
**[05:52] ---**
Depends on the case.
**[05:55] ---**
OK.
**[05:55] ---**
Two o'clock. At the square
in front of the central gate.
**[05:59] ---**
Got it.
**[06:00] ---**
She's rude.
**[06:01] ---**
Treating me like a child all the time.
**[06:04] ---**
But, you really are a child.
**[06:07] ---**
Look, it's ready.
**[06:08] ---**
You eat some too.
**[06:09] ---**
You're hungry, aren't you?
**[06:12] ---**
Eat it yourself.
**[06:14] ---**
Yeah?
**[06:16] ---**
I'm going to go get a room.
**[06:18] ---**
You really don't need a room for yourself?
**[06:21] ---**
I feel more at ease
sleeping out in the open.
**[06:24] ---**
-But, sleeping outside...
**[06:24] ---**
-I'm used to it.
-But, sleeping outside...
**[06:25] ---**
I see.
**[06:26] ---**
Spicy!
**[06:36] ---**
This is an announcement
from Bridge City Authority.
**[06:39] ---**
We are now securing the water gate.
**[06:41] ---**
Therefore no one is allowed to
come near it at any time day or night
**[06:44] ---**
without exception.
**[06:44] ---**
Sorry.
**[06:47] ---**
We appreciate your
understanding and cooperation.
**[06:51] ---**
Wow!
**[07:00] ---**
They're all strangers.
**[07:02] ---**
Well, that's only natural. Right, Cameo?
**[07:35] ---**
I really am like a child.
**[08:02] ---**
Welcome to Bridge City.
**[08:04] ---**
So, are you over it now?
**[08:04] ---**
Those who wish to
register for citizenship, please proceed
**[08:06] ---**
You're joking.
**[08:06] ---**
Those who wish to
register for citizenship, please proceed
**[08:07] ---**
Well then why are you with the girl?
**[08:07] ---**
To the tax payment office.
**[08:10] ---**
We have special windows open for you.
**[08:11] ---**
She just decided to follow me.
**[08:11] ---**
We have special windows open for you.
**[08:13] ---**
Really?
**[08:13] ---**
Furthermore, no one is
allowed to go near the water gate.
**[08:14] ---**
Furthermore, no one is allowed
to go near the water gate.
**[08:16] ---**
Well, it's time.
**[08:16] ---**
We appreciate your
understanding and cooperation.
**[08:18] ---**
Hurry up and start!
**[08:20] ---**
How many days has it been today?
**[08:22] ---**
I'm in a hurry. Hey, Mayor!
**[08:26] ---**
Oh my.
**[08:26] ---**
You came?
**[08:27] ---**
I said I was coming, didn't I?
**[08:38] ---**
Excuse me for addressing
you from way up here.
**[08:40] ---**
I am Mayor, Baron Mayer.
**[08:46] ---**
First, I sincerely apologize
for the bridge being closed...
**[08:49] ---**
these past five days.
**[08:53] ---**
Your anger is completely understandable.
**[08:55] ---**
But, I kindly ask that
you quiet down and listen.
**[08:59] ---**
I'm asking you!
**[09:03] ---**
Excuse me.
**[09:04] ---**
People who get carried
away by their feelings
**[09:06] ---**
are the same as animals.
**[09:08] ---**
A true lady or gentleman never
forgets to keep reason in mind.
**[09:12] ---**
Now then, as far as the inspection
and maintenance of the bridge
**[09:15] ---**
it will require a few more weeks.
**[09:18] ---**
In the meantime, however,
**[09:20] ---**
we have created a
temporary route in the lower area.
**[09:23] ---**
But, due to the route's narrowness,
**[09:26] ---**
the passage will be
regulated for the time being.
**[09:28] ---**
In the spirit of "ladies first,"
**[09:30] ---**
we will begin by allowing
women to cross at 3PM today.
**[09:35] ---**
Gentlemen, I ask that you all
please wait three more days.
**[09:39] ---**
Three days.
**[09:41] ---**
I ask from the bottom of my heart
that you keep a gentle spirit in mind
**[09:44] ---**
and not let your emotions carry you away.
**[09:48] ---**
I thank you for your kind attention.
**[09:53] ---**
Damn it.
**[09:56] ---**
How am I supposed to do business?
**[09:58] ---**
Three days, right? That's a close call.
**[10:00] ---**
I'm glad it's "ladies first."
**[10:03] ---**
So, it looks like I'll
be able to cross now.
**[10:05] ---**
Me too. Probably.
**[10:09] ---**
Will you look into it for me?
**[10:11] ---**
You can make it up to
me by working it off again.
**[10:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:14] ---**
Wait! It won't cost anything if I go.
**[10:17] ---**
They're regulating it.
**[10:19] ---**
You don't know if you'll be
able to come back right away.
**[10:20] ---**
It's the same for you, isn't it?!
**[10:22] ---**
I'm a pro.
**[10:24] ---**
I have ways of communicating
even if I can't come back.
**[10:27] ---**
Don't equate me with a child.
**[10:31] ---**
I'm going.
**[10:32] ---**
Hey.
**[10:33] ---**
There are things I want to know.
**[10:34] ---**
I'm going for my own sake.
And nothing's going to stop me.
**[10:38] ---**
Oh, is that right? Well, suit yourself.
**[10:40] ---**
It's none of my business what you do.
**[10:42] ---**
Likewise.
**[10:46] ---**
All I want to know is
whether he crossed here or not.
**[10:51] ---**
Mr. Baron, we've finished
handing out the tickets.
**[10:54] ---**
They're all women.
**[10:56] ---**
Thank you, well done.
**[10:57] ---**
Be ready to receive them
on the lower floor.
**[11:00] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[11:04] ---**
Slow, gentle, and without end...
**[11:06] ---**
just like the flow of the river.
**[11:09] ---**
Nonetheless, the flow of
inertia is never to be forgiven.
**[11:16] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
We will begin in just a moment.
**[11:19] ---**
Please make three lines
and wait for further instruction.
**[11:23] ---**
After you enter the gate
**[11:25] ---**
please do as you are instructed by our staff.
**[11:25] ---**
The fact she isn't taking
any bags means she thinks
**[11:27] ---**
Thank you for your cooperation.
**[11:27] ---**
She'll be coming back.
**[11:30] ---**
You want me to keep an eye on her?
**[11:30] ---**
Thank you for waiting. We
will begin in just a moment.
**[11:32] ---**
I don't have money for that.
**[11:32] ---**
Please make three lines and
wait for further instruction.
**[11:34] ---**
It's on the house. If you
hire me to investigate.
**[11:34] ---**
Please make three lines and
wait for further instruction.
**[11:39] ---**
This should serve as adequate compensation.
**[11:39] ---**
Thank you for your cooperation.
**[11:41] ---**
An Armor?
**[11:42] ---**
I don't know...
**[11:44] ---**
But the water in this river
contains some kind of metal
**[11:47] ---**
and so I'm sure Mayor Baron
must be using it for something.
**[11:54] ---**
I want to check it out.
**[11:55] ---**
Will you go look around his office for me?
**[12:11] ---**
Isn't this too far down?
**[12:13] ---**
Yeah, it is.
**[12:14] ---**
Could it be they built
an underwater tunnel?
**[12:26] ---**
Well, this looks pretty bad.
**[12:28] ---**
What is this place?
**[12:29] ---**
What about the bridge?
**[12:30] ---**
It looks like a prison.
**[12:32] ---**
Be quiet, all of you!
**[12:34] ---**
Welcome to our independent nation!
**[12:48] ---**
Damn it.
**[12:51] ---**
I could have just crossed the
bridge like this from the start.
**[12:56] ---**
It's so nice of you to come.
**[12:58] ---**
We welcome you.
**[13:01] ---**
Excuse me... Can't we cross
over to the other side of the river?
**[13:05] ---**
That was a lie!
**[13:07] ---**
Take a look!
**[13:09] ---**
This is the womb of "Metal Guru,"
**[13:10] ---**
the Super Dreadnought
class water navigation armor that
**[13:14] ---**
we spent ten years making.
**[13:17] ---**
Little by little we gathered all the things
**[13:19] ---**
which pass back and forth
across the bridge: materials,
**[13:22] ---**
technology, and talented people.
**[13:25] ---**
As well as the "absolute" steel
which this river is blessed with.
**[13:28] ---**
And now at long last
**[13:30] ---**
we have given birth to an unbending
and unwavering Armor nation.
**[13:34] ---**
As we set forth from this bridge and
**[13:37] ---**
head out into the wider
world, we aim for unity.
**[13:40] ---**
Yes!
**[13:41] ---**
And being human means
charting your own course
**[13:45] ---**
rather than drifting with the current.
**[13:47] ---**
And so, you have been brought here
**[13:49] ---**
to provide the final, missing
ingredient necessary to boost
**[13:50] ---**
our nation's strength and power.
**[13:58] ---**
Starting today, at this very moment,
**[13:59] ---**
you will be traveling together with us
**[14:03] ---**
while serving as our
nation's founding mothers.
**[14:05] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:06] ---**
Congratulations.
**[14:07] ---**
You have been chosen.
**[14:09] ---**
Now I know everything.
**[14:12] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[14:13] ---**
What are you so happy about?
**[14:15] ---**
You're simply kidnapping us!
**[14:18] ---**
Who is this little lady?
**[14:20] ---**
Who gave her a ticket?
**[14:24] ---**
Sir, I um...
**[14:28] ---**
Forgive me, Mr. Baron!
**[14:34] ---**
Little lady...
**[14:35] ---**
please go back and
wait inside our country
**[14:38] ---**
for about another five years.
**[14:39] ---**
Your mind and body are too little.
**[14:42] ---**
The ideal we're looking for is...
**[14:44] ---**
I may be a child but I'm not stupid!
**[14:46] ---**
I understand what you're saying!
**[14:48] ---**
But there's something I have to
do on the other side of this river!
**[14:51] ---**
I won't let you interfere!
**[14:53] ---**
If you want to go somewhere,
then go drift there yourselves!
**[14:58] ---**
Go drift there?
**[15:00] ---**
You've become a problem, little lady.
**[15:02] ---**
You force me to do
something most ungentlemanly!
**[15:16] ---**
Van?
**[15:17] ---**
Why are you always getting caught?
**[15:19] ---**
Who is this gentleman?
**[15:22] ---**
Hey, they're planning on
leaving here in the Armor!
**[15:26] ---**
You all will be used to produce babies!
**[15:28] ---**
Sorry. We've already been told.
**[15:31] ---**
Gentleman!
**[15:33] ---**
Give me your name.
**[15:36] ---**
People call me "Van of the Dawn."
**[15:38] ---**
And what business do you have here?
**[15:39] ---**
I don't pretend it's for
justice, but you've lied,
**[15:44] ---**
broken your promises, and
treated women as if they were tools.
**[15:48] ---**
I just can't stand those things.
**[15:51] ---**
And so I've come to destroy everything!
**[15:53] ---**
Wait a second!
**[15:55] ---**
You just have to take out
the guys with the beards, right?
**[15:58] ---**
That's too much trouble.
**[15:59] ---**
Idiot!
**[16:02] ---**
It's mustache time!
**[16:03] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[16:09] ---**
Hey now... I'm different!
**[16:11] ---**
I'm not part of this!
**[16:15] ---**
What have I gotten myself into?
**[16:18] ---**
I wish I hadn't told him
it was on the house!
**[16:24] ---**
Thanks, Ms. Carul.
**[16:25] ---**
Carmen 99!
**[16:29] ---**
Strategic retreat!
**[16:31] ---**
Those who want to escape, over here!
**[16:33] ---**
We're coming!
**[16:35] ---**
Help!
**[16:40] ---**
Gentleman!
**[16:41] ---**
Or should I say, you skin-covered savage.
**[16:45] ---**
Hear the sound of brave
footsteps plowing through the sea!
**[17:02] ---**
Yes!
**[17:03] ---**
There was no need to make such
a fuss over the insolent women here.
**[17:11] ---**
With our Armor "Metal Guru"...
**[17:13] ---**
we'll be able to round
up more intelligent women.
**[17:17] ---**
Those who are unable to
follow our ideals...
**[17:21] ---**
might as well drown to their
deaths in the river and float away!
**[17:24] ---**
Come on people, hurry
up and get out of here!
**[17:27] ---**
Wait a second!
**[17:33] ---**
Ms. Carul...!
**[17:45] ---**
I guess I owe you one...
**[17:48] ---**
Ms. Wendy.
**[17:50] ---**
Savages who are governed
by fate, I bid you a final farewell.
**[17:56] ---**
We gentlemen of love, set out
anew with an independent spirit.
**[18:00] ---**
Launch the vigorous system!
**[18:03] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[18:04] ---**
Switch operation system to the bridge.
**[18:06] ---**
Navigation system...
Temporary surveillance system...
**[18:09] ---**
Switch operation system to the bridge.
**[18:11] ---**
Operate the first and
the third machine room.
**[18:14] ---**
What's that?
**[18:15] ---**
The cannons are pointed towards us!
**[18:16] ---**
They wouldn't possibly...
**[18:17] ---**
Educational guidance!
**[18:23] ---**
I really can't...
**[18:25] ---**
stand you!
**[18:51] ---**
Be gone with you, you savage!
**[18:58] ---**
What's this?
**[19:01] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[19:06] ---**
An Armor?
**[19:08] ---**
But it's no comparison to Metal Guru!
**[19:12] ---**
Such a little thing.
**[19:15] ---**
Van!
**[19:18] ---**
Hurry up, will you!
**[19:20] ---**
Yes!
**[19:21] ---**
Deploy port side adjustable arm!
**[19:25] ---**
Our heart bestows hot blood
from the blast furnace for the savage.
**[19:30] ---**
Aye, sir. Vigorous cannon, set.
**[19:33] ---**
Increasing output.
**[19:34] ---**
Pressure engine, operation normal.
**[19:36] ---**
Target, axis alignment, complete.
**[19:39] ---**
Open and fire!
**[19:41] ---**
And water!
**[19:46] ---**
Van!
**[19:49] ---**
I'm afraid the savage can't move.
**[19:51] ---**
Full speed ahead.
**[19:54] ---**
And with this, we bring things to a close.
**[19:56] ---**
We will smash the bridge
along with everything else
**[19:59] ---**
and set sail for the open sea.
**[20:00] ---**
Van!
**[20:01] ---**
Straight ahead!
**[20:06] ---**
Thanks, now I know where its heart is.
**[20:13] ---**
What?!
**[20:14] ---**
N-Not good! Take evasive action right now!
**[20:17] ---**
I-Impossible, Sir!
**[20:18] ---**
The cannon won't charge in time!
**[20:20] ---**
Go!
**[20:25] ---**
Scatter your iron blood all over!
**[20:27] ---**
-Ship's internal temperature rising!
-Number 3 living quarters, seriously damaged!
**[20:30] ---**
Vigorous system, down!
**[20:33] ---**
They're drifting...
**[20:34] ---**
Someone! Our dreams are drifting away!
**[20:38] ---**
They're being washed away!
**[20:39] ---**
No. You won't be drifting anymore.
**[20:48] ---**
Look at your stagnant dream
from beneath your iron grave marker.
**[21:09] ---**
Van, the man of steel...
**[21:15] ---**
It was an unusual Armor, that's for sure.
**[21:17] ---**
But it didn't do so well.
**[21:18] ---**
Why were you trying to
find out about it, Ms. Carul?
**[21:21] ---**
Carmen 99.
**[21:23] ---**
Carmen...
**[21:25] ---**
Because it seemed interesting.
**[21:27] ---**
I see.
**[21:28] ---**
I wasn't doing it for
anyone other than myself.
**[21:30] ---**
Same as you.
**[21:32] ---**
Sugar?
**[21:33] ---**
Oh, I'll take one...
**[21:35] ---**
two please.
**[21:37] ---**
OK.
**[21:39] ---**
That's right. He had the claw.
**[21:42] ---**
He was with a boy. They
were quiet and kind.
**[21:45] ---**
They were in the waiting room...
**[21:46] ---**
-everybody, kids, old people...
-Where did he go?!
**[21:48] ---**
I don't know!
**[21:52] ---**
How did it go?
**[21:53] ---**
He definitely came through here.
**[21:56] ---**
What about my brother?
**[21:58] ---**
He was with him.
**[21:59] ---**
Looks like he's all right.
**[22:03] ---**
Well, maybe I'll see you again.
**[22:06] ---**
Right.
**[22:16] ---**
Did you change your clothes?
**[22:19] ---**
Can't you tell by looking?
**[22:21] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[22:23] ---**
Van...
**[22:24] ---**
What?
**[22:25] ---**
Try saying my name.
**[22:28] ---**
Why?
**[22:29] ---**
Just do it.
**[22:30] ---**
It doesn't make any difference, does it?
**[22:31] ---**
Hurry up!
**[22:33] ---**
Sorry.
**[23:56] ---**

*I couldn't believe it myself.*
**[24:01] ---**
*But it's true, there really are
people like the ones you hear about*
**[24:04] ---**
*in books and stories.*
**[24:06] ---**
*And moreover, the fact they were like that.*
**[24:10] ---**
*They took a strong liking to Van.*
**[24:13] ---**
*If you go to Gloria's town,
they'll all tell you about it.*
**[24:16] ---**
*Because they were cooler than*

*the characters in any tale or legend.*

"Heroes One More Time"
**[01:46] ---**
What did you say, Jose?!
**[01:49] ---**
Are your ears going now too, Nero?
**[01:52] ---**
If I hadn't covered you that time...
**[01:54] ---**
this town of Gloria would
have been destroyed.
**[01:57] ---**
When I deliver a hit, it's perfect.
**[02:00] ---**
No matter what type of Armor,
I've never failed to bring it down.
**[02:04] ---**
It was because of my support.
**[02:06] ---**
I've had enough.
I'm through cleaning up your mess.
**[02:10] ---**
You call yourself the leader...
**[02:12] ---**
What's that?!
**[02:13] ---**
Oh, you want to fight?
**[02:15] ---**
If you do.
**[02:17] ---**
Excuse me, both of you, please stop it.
**[02:20] ---**
Don't stop me, Yukiko.
**[02:21] ---**
Yeah. There's no need to worry.
**[02:24] ---**
No one's worrying about you guys.
**[02:27] ---**
Franco.
**[02:28] ---**
The ruckus you create is bad for business.
**[02:30] ---**
You're not the only customers here.
**[02:33] ---**
We've been coming here since
before you were born, sonny!
**[02:37] ---**
Then why don't you quiet
down and act your age.
**[02:40] ---**
Act our age? How dare you
speak to us like that?
**[02:44] ---**
You've got no right to be
calling us old-timers...
**[02:45] ---**
You're old, aren't you?
**[02:47] ---**
What?!
**[02:48] ---**
Sit down. Both of you.
**[02:52] ---**
All right.
**[02:53] ---**
Sorry, Yukiko.
**[02:55] ---**
No, that's all right, Barrio.
**[03:00] ---**
Shouldn't have done that.
**[03:07] ---**
What should we do?
You want me to spell it out for them?
**[03:10] ---**
What?
**[03:10] ---**
Tell them not to come back here again.
**[03:13] ---**
But they're Grandma's friends.
**[03:16] ---**
You can't always be thinking
about your grandmother...
**[03:18] ---**
Excuse me!
**[03:18] ---**
You can't always be
thinking about your grandmother...
**[03:20] ---**
I'd like some milk and some lunch, please!
**[03:24] ---**
Yes.
**[03:24] ---**
And a bucket of water.
**[03:33] ---**
Are you awake?!
**[03:35] ---**
It's a real nuisance when you
get so hungry that you collapse!
**[03:38] ---**
Do you realize how hard
it was to carry you here?
**[03:40] ---**
Excuse me, waitress...
**[03:43] ---**
Yes?
**[03:45] ---**
I'd like your cheapest meal
and all the condiments you've got.
**[03:51] ---**
So, where did you come from?
**[03:53] ---**
Evergreen.
**[03:55] ---**
Oh, him too?
**[03:57] ---**
No.
**[03:58] ---**
He's not with you?
**[03:59] ---**
Well, we're together now but...
**[04:01] ---**
It's sweet!
**[04:03] ---**
That's for sure.
**[04:05] ---**
That's great. It sounds like a lot of fun.
**[04:09] ---**
You're traveling, right?
**[04:12] ---**
Yeah, I guess you could say that...
**[04:17] ---**
Hello there.
**[04:18] ---**
Hello.
**[04:19] ---**
I'm Nero.
**[04:21] ---**
I'm Jose.
**[04:22] ---**
I'm Barrio, and that's Carlos.
**[04:26] ---**
Your name?
**[04:27] ---**
Van.
**[04:28] ---**
People call me, "Van, the Man of Steel."
**[04:32] ---**
You're the one who took
down the Bridge City Baron?
**[04:36] ---**
And defeated the Wild Bunch as well?
**[04:39] ---**
Yeah... I'm afraid so.
**[04:41] ---**
We like you!
**[04:42] ---**
Eat. Tacos are good for you.
**[04:45] ---**
Oh, but I don't have money...
**[04:48] ---**
Leave it to us!
**[05:01] ---**
Hey, Bucci.
**[05:03] ---**
What do you want?
**[05:05] ---**
Nothing all that important.
**[05:07] ---**
The mayor wanted to know whether or not
**[05:10] ---**
you'll be at the meeting
at the Town Hall tomorrow.
**[05:13] ---**
Oh...
**[05:15] ---**
Sorry, but I'm busy.
**[05:17] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[05:19] ---**
I know it.
**[05:22] ---**
You don't want me to come, do you?
**[05:25] ---**
No! That's not it!
**[05:29] ---**
But I guess there's
nothing I can do if you're busy.
**[05:33] ---**
Bucci... don't tell me...
**[05:35] ---**
you're doing another
one of your experiments!
**[05:42] ---**
I'm sure you understand this too.
**[05:43] ---**
We Armor riders live
life right on the edge!
**[05:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:48] ---**
No, you don't understand!
**[05:50] ---**
The Armor back in our day
was a real pain in the ass!
**[05:54] ---**
Enough already!
**[05:55] ---**
You're ruining our drink.
**[05:57] ---**
Take your tall tales to the old folks home!
**[06:00] ---**
You fought using an
Armor in this one horse town?
**[06:03] ---**
All that alcohol must be
affecting your memories!
**[06:05] ---**
Every night it's the same story!
**[06:08] ---**
Let's see it. Show us your Armor!
**[06:11] ---**
Armor's not something for showing off!
**[06:19] ---**
Learn how to handle your own body
before you try and operate an Armor.
**[06:26] ---**
Old man, you'd better show us the
Armor if you don't want your ass kicked.
**[06:29] ---**
Idiot! We'd never pull out the Armor
on someone who's empty handed!
**[06:32] ---**
Oh, is that right?!
**[06:33] ---**
Let'em have it!
Do it! Beat them up!
**[06:35] ---**
Hey, people!
**[06:37] ---**
Leave them alone. It's good medicine.
**[06:39] ---**
Franco!
**[06:40] ---**
Van, stop them!
**[06:43] ---**
I'm against violence.
**[06:44] ---**
Come on!
**[06:48] ---**
What's the matter?
You don't have to hold back.
**[06:51] ---**
Bring it on, you babe in the woods.
**[06:54] ---**
Say, this is getting ugly, don't you think?
**[06:57] ---**
Old man, let's call this thing off.
We're sorry.
**[06:59] ---**
We went too far as well.
And losing control isn't good for you.
**[07:03] ---**
Don't make fun of us!

What?
**[08:16] ---**
Where are you going?
**[08:18] ---**
I'll camp out somewhere nearby.
**[08:20] ---**
I know a place!
**[08:22] ---**
There's a good spot.
**[08:24] ---**
That's all right. Thanks for the food.
**[08:27] ---**
Don't be so uptight!
**[08:28] ---**
You're one of us.
**[08:30] ---**
Please don't follow me.
**[08:31] ---**
We'll teach you a few
things about riding an Armor.
**[08:34] ---**
Like I said, stay away.
**[08:35] ---**
Back when I was fighting
the Saurus Empire...
**[08:38] ---**
Don't come!
**[08:39] ---**
Sing the victory song!
**[08:43] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead
and make yourself at home.
**[08:46] ---**
Yes.
**[08:48] ---**
You like books?
**[08:50] ---**
Mine were all burned.
**[08:52] ---**
Go ahead and take one if you'd like.
**[08:55] ---**
Oh no, that's too much.
I feel bad just for staying here.
**[08:58] ---**
That's all right.
**[09:00] ---**
Maybe you could tell me
about your travels in return?
**[09:03] ---**
For my reference.
**[09:04] ---**
Sure!
**[09:05] ---**
Let's see, my town is covered with rocks...
**[09:10] ---**
Say, Yukiko, won't you leave
this town together with me?
**[09:14] ---**
I can't do that. I have the restaurant.
**[09:17] ---**
You want to spend your whole
life in this god-forsaken place?
**[09:20] ---**
Keeping company with the
old-timers everyday.
**[09:24] ---**
But Grandma ran this place all
by herself in order to raise me.
**[09:31] ---**
Well...
**[09:32] ---**
Have you heard enough?
**[09:34] ---**
Yeah. Thanks.
**[09:36] ---**
Great.
**[09:38] ---**
Oh, your song earlier was wonderful.
**[09:41] ---**
My grandma taught it to me.
**[09:45] ---**
The old-timers love it.
**[09:47] ---**
Oh, that's why.
**[09:51] ---**
Chizuru also said that you
mustn't show off your Armor.
**[09:55] ---**
However, if it's out of necessity...
**[09:58] ---**
It's the heroic spirit that moves it!
**[10:00] ---**
I understand.
**[10:02] ---**
You don't understand!
**[10:03] ---**
You need another 10 years
before you'll be a true Armor rider.
**[10:07] ---**
10 years from now I won't be alive.
**[10:11] ---**
To Chizuru!
**[10:12] ---**
Brindis!
**[10:13] ---**
Our Pink Amigo!
**[10:16] ---**
Say, do you know Chizuru?
**[10:18] ---**
No, I don't.
**[10:19] ---**
How come?!
**[10:21] ---**
She could out-drink anyone.
**[10:23] ---**
She could out-brawl anyone.
**[10:25] ---**
She still watches over us,
along with the Pink Amigo.
**[10:31] ---**
You drink too!
**[10:33] ---**
No, I don't drink.
**[10:35] ---**
Tequila's good for you.
**[10:37] ---**
Like I said...
**[10:52] ---**
Good morning everyone.
**[10:54] ---**
The regular town meeting will
take place as scheduled...
**[10:56] ---**
Van!
**[10:58] ---**
Where did you go yesterday?
**[11:01] ---**
Hey, could you help me
gather information later?
**[11:05] ---**
Sure... but what about the old-timers?
**[11:08] ---**
Let us out!
**[11:09] ---**
Why did you put us in this place?
**[11:12] ---**
That's enough!
**[11:14] ---**
Hey chief, let us out!
**[11:15] ---**
The reason we get complaints is
because you raise such a racket.
**[11:19] ---**
Young people all over
town are laughing at you.
**[11:24] ---**
Do they know about what we did for them?
**[11:26] ---**
That's for sure! The people who don't
know now outnumber those who do.
**[11:31] ---**
I'm asking you, please be quiet.
**[11:33] ---**
How long are you going
to cling to the past?
**[11:36] ---**
I don't want to do these
things to my childhood heroes.
**[11:41] ---**
Little Mabo...
**[11:42] ---**
The police can handle
things in this town now.
**[11:46] ---**
The days of the hero are over.
**[11:51] ---**
Everyone, I'm the Mayor, Walter.
**[11:54] ---**
I am truly thankful to you all for
attending this regular town meeting.
**[11:59] ---**
Now, the crime rate in our town of
Gloria has dropped below 1 percent.
**[12:04] ---**
This proves that the citizens of this town
**[12:07] ---**
have all become dear neighbors
and found mutual understanding.
**[12:10] ---**
And so I am truly...
**[12:12] ---**
What's that?
**[12:16] ---**
Hey, that sound is...
**[12:20] ---**
No, it can't be!
**[12:21] ---**
It's...
**[12:22] ---**
There's no mistake.
**[12:26] ---**
Armor?
**[12:27] ---**
That's right! Look!
**[12:30] ---**
This is my Armor! Respect it!
**[12:33] ---**
I made it!
**[12:36] ---**
This place isn't safe either.
We need to get out of here!
**[12:39] ---**
Sorry...
**[12:40] ---**
There's something we need to do.
**[12:41] ---**
What?
**[12:42] ---**
If we don't come back
**[12:44] ---**
tell Yukio and the other youngsters...
**[12:49] ---**
that we're sorry.
**[12:51] ---**
Y-You can't be serious...
**[12:55] ---**
You people!
**[12:57] ---**
Turning me into an outcast
just because I made one mistake!
**[13:01] ---**
Hurry up and arrest Bucci!
**[13:03] ---**
But he's got an Armor!
**[13:08] ---**
Yukiko! Let's escape to
the hilltop with the others!
**[13:10] ---**
Yes.
**[13:11] ---**
You hurry up too!
**[13:13] ---**
Yes!
**[13:14] ---**
Van!
**[13:15] ---**
Hey, you can use your Armor to...
**[13:17] ---**
No. I've got no reason to help.
**[13:20] ---**
Reason?
**[13:23] ---**
Idiot!
**[13:25] ---**
Understand that I am
doing this for the town's sake!
**[13:30] ---**
It's using a system similar to Dann...
**[13:34] ---**
What?
**[13:41] ---**
This is our town.
**[13:46] ---**
Yukiko!
**[13:48] ---**
I could have used this
strength to bring everyone happiness!
**[13:57] ---**
Grandma's...
**[13:59] ---**
Don't!
**[14:01] ---**
Grandma's...
**[14:03] ---**
Grandma's... the restaurant!
**[14:05] ---**
Someone! Someone save Grandma's...
**[14:10] ---**
Leave it to us.
**[14:19] ---**
What the hell is that?
**[14:25] ---**
Could it be?
**[14:27] ---**
Take a good look, youngster.
**[14:29] ---**
That right there! That spirit!
**[14:32] ---**
That's what a legendary hero is!
**[14:37] ---**
Barrio, I want you covering Carlos!
**[14:39] ---**
Got it.
**[14:41] ---**
All right! Scramble Advancer!
**[14:49] ---**
You stupid old heroes!
**[14:53] ---**
The El Gran attack isn't working!
**[14:56] ---**
Nero, don't make me clean up after you!
**[14:58] ---**
Jose?
**[14:59] ---**
You know what this calls for?
**[15:03] ---**
Sounds good to me.
**[15:04] ---**
Let's go! El Dorado!
**[15:35] ---**
Five Bodies Combined into Eldora Four!
**[15:42] ---**
What the...
**[15:43] ---**
So it's true?
**[15:45] ---**
It's the first time I've ever seen it.
**[15:47] ---**
Old-timers!
**[15:48] ---**
Free-fall Grazie!
**[15:53] ---**
I won't allow it!
**[15:55] ---**
To hell with your useless combined system!
**[16:01] ---**
Our arm!
**[16:02] ---**
Perfect! If I bring you down
**[16:04] ---**
the townspeople will accept me!
**[16:10] ---**
Nero! Fire while we try and hold him off!
**[16:13] ---**
Right!
**[16:18] ---**
Damn it.
**[16:20] ---**
I shouldn't have had so much to drink.
**[16:23] ---**
Nero.
**[16:25] ---**
Don't miss this time.
**[16:27] ---**
Have faith in your leader.
**[16:30] ---**
Bombardier!
**[16:34] ---**
Why are you doing this?
**[16:36] ---**
Didn't they make fun of you too?!
Didn't they say they didn't need you?!
**[16:41] ---**
Am I wrong?!
**[16:43] ---**
No one understands or accepts you!
**[16:46] ---**
So then why?!
Why do you still protect this town?!
**[16:51] ---**
Why?!
**[16:53] ---**
Sonny boy is still wet behind the ears.
**[16:56] ---**
We don't want those kinds of things.
**[16:59] ---**
Right.
**[17:00] ---**
As long as we can protect the
people's memories... that's all...
**[17:04] ---**
That's all...
**[17:05] ---**
That's all...
**[17:07] ---**
That's all we want.
**[17:10] ---**
It can't be!
**[17:11] ---**
Even you guys are...
**[17:12] ---**
making fun of me!
**[17:14] ---**
Old-timers!
**[17:18] ---**
I guess it wasn't complete after all.
**[17:21] ---**
Just as the name suggests,
Eldora Five is the 5 bodies combined.
**[17:25] ---**
But now they're one body
short on power and energy.
**[17:30] ---**
One body?
**[17:31] ---**
Yes, Yukiko's grandmother.
Chizuru's Pink Amigo.
**[18:07] ---**
We can't lose.
**[18:09] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:10] ---**
It's always the same.
**[18:13] ---**
They really are a bunch
of crazy old-timers.
**[18:17] ---**
Don't you think?
**[18:20] ---**
Energy at 0009. Enough for one shot.
**[18:24] ---**
Got it!
**[18:25] ---**
We'll settle everything at once!
**[18:26] ---**
Right!
**[18:29] ---**
Eldora Fist!
**[18:34] ---**
We don't have enough energy!
We're just a little short!
**[18:37] ---**
Old guys...
**[18:38] ---**
just fade away.
**[18:46] ---**
*Eldora Five is...*
**[18:49] ---**
Could this be it?
**[18:50] ---**
No way.
**[18:51] ---**
Old-timers...
**[18:52] ---**
That's enough! Stop it!
**[18:54] ---**
They'll die if you keep this up!
**[18:58] ---**
*It'll take more than this to kill us!*
**[19:00] ---**
*They can't take any more!*
**[19:04] ---**
*Grandma!*
**[19:26] ---**
What is that?
**[19:30] ---**
What?
**[19:35] ---**
Chizuru...
**[19:38] ---**
It's complete!
**[19:39] ---**
Oh my...
**[19:41] ---**
Even the supply unit is out of date.
**[19:57] ---**
It's an inefficient Armor.
Where's the advancement?
**[20:01] ---**
Sonny, advancement is when...
**[20:03] ---**
the Armor and the human spirit...
**[20:06] ---**
combine.
**[20:07] ---**
Eldora Five!
**[20:10] ---**
Ultimate!
**[20:24] ---**
No! It can't be!
**[20:26] ---**
Adios...
**[20:30] ---**
amigo!
**[20:34] ---**
They did it!
**[20:36] ---**
Eldora Five really is the best! Gracias!
**[20:43] ---**
Franco...
**[20:45] ---**
I realized it.
**[20:47] ---**
I love the old-timers and this town.
**[20:53] ---**
By the way, who was that?
**[20:55] ---**
That unsung hero who
gave everything he had.
**[20:59] ---**
The man who gave everything he had.
**[21:05] ---**
I'm alive?
**[21:07] ---**
What about an "I'm sorry"?
**[21:08] ---**
You can't even say you're sorry?
**[21:10] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[21:12] ---**
All right.
**[21:14] ---**
You were also led astray by the Armor.
**[21:16] ---**
Come back and help the town
when you've atoned for your crime.
**[21:22] ---**
Yes.
**[21:39] ---**
Oh, are you already done
servicing the Eldora Five?
**[21:43] ---**
Yep. Thanks to the young people.
**[21:45] ---**
Speaking of which,
where's Van and the young lady?
**[21:49] ---**
They've already left.
**[21:51] ---**
They said they're looking for someone.
**[21:53] ---**
What? I thought I'd teach him
the essence of riding an Armor.
**[21:57] ---**
Oh my...
**[22:02] ---**
You're awake, Carlos?
**[22:06] ---**
Dear me... Anyway, can I get a drink too?
**[22:10] ---**
I don't know why but I'm exhausted.
**[22:12] ---**
Did you have a strange dream?
**[22:14] ---**
No, it was a pleasant one.
**[22:17] ---**
We were all fighting against an
Armor that was attacking the town.
**[22:20] ---**
Oh, right, Chizuru was there too.
It really was a good dream.
**[22:25] ---**
Carlos...
**[22:29] ---**
That wasn't a dream!
**[23:56] ---**
"And the Rain Kept Falling"
**[23:57] ---**
*Yes, that's right.*
**[23:59] ---**
*I finally got a little closer to Van.*
**[24:03] ---**
*I don't think he even remembers,*
**[24:06] ---**
*since this
is the first time I've spoken about it.*
**[24:09] ---**
*It may seem like it was an ordinary day*
**[24:11] ---**
*when compared to the other disturbances.*
**[24:13] ---**
*But I was frantic.*
**[24:16] ---**
*I think it's because of that day*
**[24:18] ---**
a6\i1}that I was able to continue
my journey with Van. Truly.*

**[02:37] ---**
I'm sorry! It was my fault!
**[02:40] ---**
Listen!
**[02:41] ---**
Forgive me! Please! I'm begging you!
**[02:46] ---**
Come on. Please.
**[02:52] ---**
So, is everything cool?
**[02:56] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[03:03] ---**
Van!
**[03:07] ---**
Are you all right?
**[03:09] ---**
Why wouldn't I be?
**[03:11] ---**
You look like you're in pain!
**[03:14] ---**
I'm fine.
**[03:16] ---**
But don't get mixed up with strange people.
**[03:21] ---**
It causes problems.
**[03:23] ---**
But...
**[03:25] ---**
Damn it. Which way is the river?
**[03:32] ---**
You shouldn't be cooling
yourself off if you're not feeling well.
**[03:35] ---**
Get out of here.
**[03:36] ---**
You should get some sleep.
**[03:40] ---**
Not while I'm looking!
**[03:42] ---**
Hey, you. I told you to go.
**[03:45] ---**
My name is Wendy!
**[03:48] ---**
You could at least remember my name.
**[03:51] ---**
What?
**[03:55] ---**
Why are you being so careless?
**[03:58] ---**
What?
**[04:00] ---**
Van? Van!
**[04:03] ---**
Hey, can you hear me?
**[04:05] ---**
Hey!
**[04:08] ---**
Wake up, Van!
**[04:11] ---**
You'll go over the falls
if you don't get up!
**[04:20] ---**
It's cold!
**[04:32] ---**
You're heavy.
**[04:48] ---**
Don't touch.
**[04:50] ---**
But you have a terrible fever.
**[04:53] ---**
I know. Leave me alone.
**[04:55] ---**
Leave you alone?
**[04:57] ---**
Like I said, give me a little quiet...
**[05:00] ---**
Van?
**[06:21] ---**
*I'm sorry, Yukiko.*
**[07:12] ---**
You're covered in sweat.
**[07:14] ---**
You've still got a fever, don't you?
**[07:38] ---**
A wound? No...
**[07:46] ---**
Are you conscious?
Keep still. I'm wiping you off now.
**[07:50] ---**
Go home.
**[07:52] ---**
If you stay with me...
**[07:55] ---**
Go back...
**[07:57] ---**
to your town.
**[08:10] ---**
I can't do that.
**[08:15] ---**
Elena.
**[08:18] ---**
Elena.
**[08:54] ---**
I'll be back soon. Keep an eye on him?
**[09:15] ---**
It can't be.
**[10:14] ---**
*Come back Wendy.*
**[10:17] ---**
*Wendy, where did you go?*
**[10:19] ---**
*Come quick. Let's play together.*
**[10:20] ---**
*- -Wendy!
Come quick. Let's play together.*
**[10:22] ---**
*Wendy...*
**[10:30] ---**
Right.
**[10:34] ---**
What am I doing? I must
seem like such a fool.
**[10:54] ---**
Where's...
**[10:56] ---**
your master?
**[11:05] ---**
Damn it.
**[11:10] ---**
I haven't ridden it in a while.
That must be why.
**[11:48] ---**
I can't even get the place right?
**[11:51] ---**
So long.
**[12:13] ---**
That's right!
**[12:14] ---**
Horace was making rugrats again.
**[12:16] ---**
He's sure got a lot of free time.
**[12:19] ---**
Excuse me.
**[12:24] ---**
Where can I find a doctor?
**[12:33] ---**
Excuse me!
**[12:34] ---**
I'd like those, please.
**[12:40] ---**
Go straight along the road
and you'll come to a hospital.
**[12:44] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[12:49] ---**
Hey, she's carrying a gun on her back.
**[12:51] ---**
I don't understand these strangers at all.
**[12:54] ---**
Dr. Collins in the Internal
Medicine Department
**[12:56] ---**
I want the doctor to come see him.
**[12:58] ---**
Please!
**[13:01] ---**
The doctor only visits
people who live in town.
**[13:04] ---**
But he's sick!
**[13:06] ---**
It's a rule. A lot of strange
things go on outside of town.
**[13:10] ---**
I'd appreciate it if you stop bothering me.
**[13:13] ---**
What am I going to do?
**[13:15] ---**
Hey, is someone sick?
**[13:17] ---**
A person I know has a fever.
**[13:19] ---**
The facilities aren't as nice as here,
**[13:21] ---**
but the place where I
work is also a hospital.
**[13:36] ---**
So, were you able to borrow the equipment?
**[13:38] ---**
Yes. It was a lot of trouble,
but you should have it by next week.
**[13:42] ---**
Of course we should. He was
my apprentice to begin with.
**[13:47] ---**
So?
**[13:48] ---**
What is the patient's condition?
**[13:51] ---**
Well, um...
**[13:53] ---**
You can relax!
**[13:55] ---**
Dr. Denehee is a renowned physician.
**[13:58] ---**
Although his face is a little scary.
**[13:59] ---**
Hey.
**[14:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[14:04] ---**
The only thing I can't cure is my own body.
**[14:09] ---**
Come on, talk to me.
**[14:13] ---**
Yes.
**[14:18] ---**
Armor rider?
**[14:19] ---**
Yes. But he hasn't ridden at all recently.
**[14:24] ---**
I wish the Armor riders would
all smash each other to pieces.
**[14:27] ---**
We've got some Armor
riders in this town too.
**[14:31] ---**
They're stupid, violent,
and have no regard for human life.
**[14:34] ---**
Van's different!
**[14:36] ---**
He's stupid and violent,
but he doesn't disregard human life!
**[14:42] ---**
I see, I see.
**[14:44] ---**
Marie, here.
**[14:45] ---**
Yes.
**[14:46] ---**
It's just a fever.
**[14:50] ---**
As you can see, I can't go to the mountain.
**[14:54] ---**
And I can't afford to be
separated from Marie either.
**[14:56] ---**
So you'll have to return
with the medicine yourself.
**[15:00] ---**
Yes.
**[15:02] ---**
Well, and...
**[15:04] ---**
What's the matter?
**[15:05] ---**
I don't know if it's
because of the fever...
**[15:08] ---**
but there's some sort of pattern
around his chest and stomach area.
**[15:11] ---**
I wonder if it's a parasite.
Draw it for me.
**[15:16] ---**
It's not a parasite.
**[15:18] ---**
But I saw this once before.
**[15:22] ---**
Well, the medicine should
reduce the fever for now.
**[15:25] ---**
But if he's still not feeling
well, bring him here.
**[15:28] ---**
Yes.
**[15:36] ---**
All right then, here's the
medicine and take this as well.
**[15:39] ---**
But you already gave me an umbrella.
**[15:42] ---**
Don't worry about it.
Just hurry up and get back to him.
**[15:46] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[15:48] ---**
Be careful on the way back!
**[15:49] ---**
Yes!
**[16:13] ---**
Elena!
**[16:46] ---**
That's...
**[16:52] ---**
*Don't worry, Wendy.*
**[16:54] ---**
*We'll get Michael back.
You can count on it.*
**[16:57] ---**
*I want my brother's gun.*
**[16:59] ---**
*But...*
**[17:01] ---**
*I want to have it, since it's
the only thing he left behind.*
**[17:08] ---**
*Hold on, big brother!*
**[17:43] ---**
That's Van's!
**[17:44] ---**
I...
**[17:45] ---**
I have to help him! That's why!
**[18:33] ---**
Van!
**[18:38] ---**
Van?
**[18:41] ---**
Van!
**[18:48] ---**
Why?
**[18:50] ---**
What's this?
**[18:53] ---**
Only the stupid kid's here!
**[18:55] ---**
Where's the guy from yesterday?
**[18:57] ---**
What's the matter, Zakota?
**[18:59] ---**
The guy's not here!
**[19:00] ---**
We spend the whole day searching
around and we end up with this?
**[19:07] ---**
Hey, you stupid kid, I'm
asking you where he is!
**[19:11] ---**
What's the matter? Did he leave you behind?
**[19:14] ---**
No! He didn't leave me.
**[19:16] ---**
He must be fed up
babysitting a stupid kid like you.
**[19:21] ---**
Or are you supposed to be our compensation?
**[19:25] ---**
W-What the hell was that?
I thought you were our compensation!
**[19:30] ---**
What's the matter, Zakota?
**[19:31] ---**
-Why don't I help you?
**[19:32] ---**
-Shut up!
-Why don't I help you?
**[19:33] ---**
Who does this stupid kid think she is?
**[19:36] ---**
No one from town is coming here.
No one will ever find out what we did.
**[19:42] ---**
Isn't that right, huh?
**[19:45] ---**
*Van!*
**[20:02] ---**
Chesuto!
**[20:41] ---**
Where did you go?
**[20:42] ---**
I went through all that
trouble trying to take care of you.
**[20:46] ---**
You got better all by yourself.
**[20:54] ---**
But, I'm so happy.
**[20:58] ---**
Hey...
**[21:13] ---**
Go to sleep, you.
**[21:16] ---**
My name is Wendy.
**[21:22] ---**
Hey.
**[21:23] ---**
I told you to leave me alone.
**[21:28] ---**
Go to sleep. You're a real pain.
**[21:37] ---**
Wendy...
**[21:40] ---**
good night.
**[21:46] ---**
Good night, Van.
**[21:53] ---**
Well I guess that's it for today, doc.
**[21:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:59] ---**
Yes, hold on a second.
**[22:03] ---**
*If I'm not mistaken, this patient...*
**[22:07] ---**
*There must be something between
him and the man with the artificial arm.*
**[22:11] ---**
You're here for a medical exam?
**[22:15] ---**
There's something I want to ask.
**[22:17] ---**
Yes.
**[22:19] ---**
What is it?
**[22:23] ---**
I'm looking for...
**[22:26] ---**
a man with a claw.
**[23:56] ---**
"Twin's Guards"
**[23:57] ---**
*The place was a sad town...*
**[24:00] ---**
*...a sad town that seemed
as if it had been abandoned*
**[24:02] ---**
*in the bottom of a valley.*
**[24:04] ---**
*It was the town where I found
out about Van's sad past...*
**[24:07] ---**
*...and the reason for his journey.*
**[24:09] ---**
*It was all because of Ray.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Even though Ray and Van have
very different looks and personalities,*
**[24:15] ---**
*I felt there was something
similar about them from the start.*
**[24:18] ---**
*From the time they first met...*

"Twin's Guards"
**[02:19] ---**
Could we have lost our way?
**[02:23] ---**
No one could be stupid enough to
get lost on a straight path like this.
**[02:25] ---**
That's not what I mean.
**[02:27] ---**
I'm wondering whether it was a
mistake to come into this valley!
**[02:31] ---**
If we keep moving forward,
we'll come out somewhere.
**[02:33] ---**
If you've got a problem
with that, go back yourself.
**[02:35] ---**
Good grief! You're sounding like a child.
**[02:43] ---**
A town?
**[02:44] ---**
Looks that way.
**[02:50] ---**
What is this place?
**[02:52] ---**
I've never seen anything like it.
**[02:58] ---**
Is this a town?
**[03:00] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:02] ---**
I wonder if anyone's here.
**[03:04] ---**
Don't know.
**[03:08] ---**
What's that?
**[03:15] ---**
Even the hounds killed
each other at the same time.
**[03:18] ---**
How annoying!
**[03:21] ---**
They're the same person?
**[03:23] ---**
You should be thankful, shouldn't you?
**[03:25] ---**
If it wasn't for that,
your head would have been
**[03:27] ---**
rolling around on the
ground a long time ago.
**[03:28] ---**
Thankful for what?
**[03:29] ---**
You're the one who's always
groveling across the floor.
**[03:37] ---**
Who are you?
**[03:38] ---**
The bodyguard that woman told us about?
**[03:40] ---**
That woman?
**[03:41] ---**
Don't look at me.
**[03:47] ---**
All right everyone. Stop right there.
**[03:49] ---**
Oh! It must be...
**[03:53] ---**
Ms. Carul!
**[03:54] ---**
Carmen 99.
**[03:56] ---**
Ms. Carmen.
**[04:00] ---**
I was looking all over for you.
**[04:01] ---**
I never imagined you'd be
getting here before me.
**[04:05] ---**
So then I take it he's the bodyguard.
**[04:09] ---**
Yes. I'll bring the contract later.
**[04:11] ---**
What about the other one?
**[04:12] ---**
Don't worry. I've already found someone.
**[04:15] ---**
So both of you, please be patient.
**[04:19] ---**
And please see to it that I'm paid.
**[04:24] ---**
It sure is a strange town.
**[04:25] ---**
Yes, it is.
**[04:26] ---**
But what's even more surprising is the fact
**[04:29] ---**
you haven't run away from Van yet.
**[04:31] ---**
I'm the one who wants to run away.
**[04:35] ---**
Carmen, why does everyone in this town
**[04:37] ---**
look the same as someone else?
**[04:40] ---**
Oh, that? They say they're all twins.
**[04:42] ---**
All of them?
**[04:43] ---**
Although there aren't many of them left.
**[04:45] ---**
They divided themselves between left and right,
and have been fighting for a long time now.
**[04:49] ---**
Like the two dogs earlier?
**[04:51] ---**
Right. It always ends up with
killing each other at the same time.
**[04:53] ---**
They say twins have a special bond,
which makes it all the more ironic.
**[04:57] ---**
Why would they do that
when they're sisters?
**[05:01] ---**
According to the father's will,
**[05:03] ---**
the one who wins out can have
the inheritance all to herself.
**[05:06] ---**
It's located in a building in back.
**[05:08] ---**
Did you see the pendants
the two of them had on?
**[05:10] ---**
When combined together it's said
they become the key to the entrance.
**[05:14] ---**
What's the inheritance?
**[05:15] ---**
From what I understand,
even they don't know.
**[05:17] ---**
He sure was an irresponsible
father, wasn't he?
**[05:19] ---**
In that case, shouldn't they make peace
**[05:21] ---**
and divide it up amongst everyone?
**[05:24] ---**
Given the people who've been lost,
and the mutual hatred,
**[05:27] ---**
that way of solving
things no longer exists.
**[05:31] ---**
That's terrible.
**[05:32] ---**
You're after the inheritance?
**[05:35] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[05:36] ---**
In exchange for finding
bodyguards for both of them...
**[05:40] ---**
I'll be receiving the loser's
fortune from the winner.
**[05:43] ---**
So, Van, it's a bit last second
**[05:45] ---**
but will you be a bodyguard
and duel on behalf of one of them?
**[05:48] ---**
What?
**[05:49] ---**
The pay's not too bad either.
**[05:53] ---**
Earl Driver. Nice to meet you.
**[05:56] ---**
I'd like all the condiments you got.
**[05:59] ---**
-Hey.
-Certainly.
**[06:00] ---**
Tell us whatever you want.
You don't have to hold back.
**[06:04] ---**
There's one thing I'd like to ask.
**[06:06] ---**
You really think you can settle this thing
**[06:08] ---**
by having other people
fight it out for you?
**[06:11] ---**
We can't lose any more of our people.
**[06:14] ---**
And the other side is
willing to accept the outcome?
**[06:17] ---**
We'll make them.
**[06:18] ---**
And if I lose, you can accept it?
**[06:22] ---**
Van!
**[06:23] ---**
I don't know.
**[06:24] ---**
But you don't want to die, do you?
**[06:26] ---**
No. I fully expect to be
paid for my services.
**[06:29] ---**
You want information, don't you?
**[06:31] ---**
About the Claw.
**[06:35] ---**
He used to come see my Papa
once in a while, a long time ago.
**[06:39] ---**
They were always having
long, passionate discussions.
**[06:43] ---**
He was a kind person.
**[06:45] ---**
I liked him second only to Papa.
**[06:47] ---**
You have information?
**[06:49] ---**
We probably have something
at the family home.
**[06:50] ---**
So when do I do my thing?
**[06:52] ---**
Not until Elle decides on her bodyguard.
**[06:55] ---**
We want you to protect Earl until then.
**[06:58] ---**
Carmen will fill you in on the details.
**[07:00] ---**
I see.
**[07:01] ---**
Which side is she on?
**[07:04] ---**
She's on her own side.
**[07:07] ---**
You shouldn't have to wait long.
**[07:09] ---**
She said it would be 2
or 3 days at the most.
**[07:12] ---**
In the meantime, we've
prepared a room for you here.
**[07:17] ---**
Who are you?
**[07:32] ---**
What are you doing?
**[07:33] ---**
I'm the bodyguard.
**[07:36] ---**
Viest!
**[07:42] ---**
Hey!
**[07:42] ---**
You're not supposed to take
things into your own hands!
**[07:56] ---**
Someone! Prepare the emergency room!
**[07:58] ---**
Viest has been shot!
**[08:00] ---**
Viest? All right.
**[08:02] ---**
I'll send some people over there too.
**[08:04] ---**
Hey! Who's that guy?
**[08:07] ---**
He's the bodyguard for the other side.
**[08:09] ---**
He took off right after
I told him about it.
**[08:12] ---**
I just met him too, but
he's a drifter like you...
**[08:17] ---**
and probably has
about the same level of ability.
**[08:20] ---**
His name is Ray.
**[08:21] ---**
Ray Lundgren. But...
**[08:25] ---**
I can't agree to this.
It's just more of the same thing.
**[08:29] ---**
Really?
**[08:30] ---**
One of theirs was injured but you're not.
**[08:33] ---**
Well, yes.
**[08:34] ---**
This town has finally changed.
**[08:37] ---**
I've stared at my own face long enough.
**[08:43] ---**
*Now, now. Why can't you two get along?*
**[08:48] ---**
*Be nice to each other. Be nice you two.*
**[08:53] ---**
*I'm sorry Papa.*
**[08:55] ---**
*But I can't have you all
to myself if I do that.*
**[08:59] ---**
Why? Why am I the only
one who can't leave here?
**[09:03] ---**
It's to keep you from
getting mixed up in this.
**[09:05] ---**
-Carmen.
-Yeah.
**[09:07] ---**
You're in charge of looking after her.
**[09:09] ---**
Stay here until you come watch
over the proceedings tomorrow.
**[09:11] ---**
Guess I don't have much choice.
**[09:16] ---**
If our bodyguard tries to get out
of fighting his opponent, then...
**[09:21] ---**
Yes. I know what to do.
**[09:23] ---**
Damn. I wasn't counting on this.
**[09:26] ---**
I didn't think Ray would be such a lunatic.
**[09:29] ---**
Sorry for getting you caught up in this.
**[09:31] ---**
It doesn't make sense.
**[09:33] ---**
Why are they all killing each other?
**[09:42] ---**
Good evening, everyone!
**[09:44] ---**
Is Ray here?
**[09:53] ---**
Stop!
**[09:53] ---**
Please stop!
**[09:56] ---**
Hey, listen.
**[09:59] ---**
I was given a job. I was
told to protect someone.
**[10:03] ---**
And so I've come to kill you...
**[10:08] ---**
before you kill the person who hired me.
**[10:21] ---**
Somebody! We have an intruder!
**[10:23] ---**
Come quick! Somebody!
**[10:31] ---**
I want to go to another town soon.
**[10:37] ---**
Carmen.
**[10:38] ---**
What is it?
**[10:43] ---**
Who's Elena?
**[10:46] ---**
Who told you about Elena?
**[10:48] ---**
Van did. He was talking in his sleep.
**[10:52] ---**
Is she a woman?
**[10:54] ---**
Is there some connection
between her and the Claw?
**[11:12] ---**
Don't move.
**[11:14] ---**
This is where we settle it.
**[11:16] ---**
I don't know how much they're paying you,
**[11:18] ---**
but you got a raw deal.
**[11:20] ---**
Money only dulls the spirit.
**[11:23] ---**
In my world there's no need
for that sort of thing.
**[11:26] ---**
There's only one thing I want.
**[11:29] ---**
Death.
**[11:31] ---**
The Claw's death.
**[11:34] ---**
He killed my wife.
**[11:37] ---**
And so I'm going to find and kill him.
**[11:41] ---**
You're...
**[11:42] ---**
Elena was the woman Van was going to marry.
**[11:46] ---**
What? Was she kidnapped too?
**[11:49] ---**
No. On her wedding day...
**[11:53] ---**
Elena was killed...
**[11:56] ---**
by the Claw.
**[11:59] ---**
I see. You too.
**[12:02] ---**
But I'm the one who's going to kill him.
**[12:05] ---**
You're not up for the task.
**[12:08] ---**
Could you stand back and watch her die?
**[12:12] ---**
Why? Why did you have
those two meet each other?
**[12:16] ---**
Because that's my job.
**[12:19] ---**
Their journey is a journey of revenge.
**[12:21] ---**
It's not a pretty thing.
They're risking their lives.
**[12:25] ---**
They need to be prepared
for that sort of thing.
**[12:28] ---**
I use them and they use me.
**[12:32] ---**
It's not easy getting your
hands on information.
**[12:36] ---**
But...
**[12:36] ---**
If you don't like what you see
then go back home, pipsqueak.
**[12:41] ---**
'Cause there's no telling when
it's gonna be his turn to die...
**[12:42] ---**
I'm fully prepared!
**[12:44] ---**
I'm on my own journey.
**[12:47] ---**
I've decided to help my brother.
**[12:49] ---**
And don't compare Van with that man!
**[12:52] ---**
-Van is...
-Yeah, yeah.
**[12:54] ---**
Just as I thought, you can't
do anything, can you?
**[12:58] ---**
In that case, how about this...
**[13:00] ---**
I'll betray them and
come over to your side.
**[13:03] ---**
You're gonna betray the
person who hired you?
**[13:05] ---**
After all, we have the same objective.
**[13:07] ---**
So we should try and maximize
our chances for success.
**[13:12] ---**
What do you think? Are you game?
**[13:17] ---**
No. I'd be dishonoring Elena
**[13:20] ---**
if I joined up with someone
who's strayed from the path like you.
**[13:23] ---**
You think you can live according to
your code while seeking vengeance?
**[13:28] ---**
In that case, we'll settle things tomorrow.
**[13:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:32] ---**
You...
**[13:34] ---**
Your vengeance is...
**[13:36] ---**
very kind.
**[13:44] ---**
Elle! Papa's inheritance is mine.
**[13:48] ---**
Starting today, that face and
voice of yours will be mine alone.
**[13:52] ---**
Acting as the witness, I
now confirm the following.
**[13:55] ---**
Both teams will abide by
the outcome of the fight,
**[13:57] ---**
with the losing side handing over
the key and submitting unconditionally
**[14:00] ---**
to the winner's demands. OK?
**[14:04] ---**
Well then, you two move over to the
dueling area located by the entrance.
**[14:13] ---**
Earl!
**[14:15] ---**
You!
**[14:23] ---**
Stop!
**[14:26] ---**
The key is complete!
**[14:29] ---**
Elle!
**[14:37] ---**
Ost! Watch out!
**[14:54] ---**
I wonder what's inside.
**[14:59] ---**
Please take me...
**[15:03] ---**
to where my father is.
**[15:14] ---**
An Armor?
**[15:16] ---**
You must be joking.
**[15:18] ---**
There must be something
I can take as a reward.
**[15:22] ---**
This is Papa's inheritance?
**[15:24] ---**
Who cares about your stupid inheritance?
**[15:26] ---**
Where's the clue that
will lead me to the Claw?
**[15:28] ---**
Where is it?
**[15:30] ---**
And don't tell me you don't
have anything either.
**[15:32] ---**
Damn you.
**[15:37] ---**
It's too late now, Earl.
**[15:39] ---**
Papa's inheritance is mine.
**[15:41] ---**
Now be a good sport and give up...
**[15:42] ---**
Comrade!
**[15:46] ---**
Papa.
**[15:48] ---**
We have, for the most
part, seen the completion
**[15:51] ---**
of the Armor that you asked for, Twin Lock.
**[15:54] ---**
We had hoped to use the ability clones have
**[15:56] ---**
to empathize with each other to
boost its functionality. However...
**[15:59] ---**
What does he mean, "clone"?
**[16:01] ---**
I don't know.
**[16:02] ---**
I am terribly sorry.
**[16:04] ---**
The specialized pilot training
was a complete and total failure.
**[16:08] ---**
And due to the outbreak of a
pathogen during the research process
**[16:12] ---**
we will most likely perish
before you come here.
**[16:15] ---**
I hope that at least you got
the data for the Carossa Project.
**[16:21] ---**
The Armor must be designed for two people.
**[16:25] ---**
The experimental bodies
in the town in the valley
**[16:28] ---**
are all samples for us to collect data from.
**[16:31] ---**
We manipulated the emotions
for our objective...
**[16:34] ---**
as a result of our
technical insufficiency.
**[16:38] ---**
If they're rude to you,
please feel free to dispose of them.
**[16:44] ---**
I cannot tell you enough how sorry I am.
**[16:47] ---**
But even now, our love for you is infinite.
**[16:52] ---**
Even if the promise is no longer valid,
and you've given up on us...
**[16:57] ---**
For your sake, I...
**[17:03] ---**
You came all this way for nothing.
**[17:08] ---**
Papa...
**[17:12] ---**
Hey!
**[17:13] ---**
That was a lie just now, wasn't it?
**[17:15] ---**
The stuff Papa said about us being samples,
and disposing of us.
**[17:19] ---**
Let go.
**[17:21] ---**
Elle!
**[17:22] ---**
You bastard!
**[17:41] ---**
You're no longer a person.
**[17:43] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[17:45] ---**
Being human only gets in the way,
when you're out for revenge.
**[17:50] ---**
I can't stand you.
**[17:53] ---**
The feeling's mutual.
**[17:55] ---**
I hate you too. But...
**[17:59] ---**
Now, now. Why can't you two get along.
**[18:03] ---**
We should have listened to what he said.
**[18:06] ---**
If we'd done that, then Papa...
**[18:08] ---**
No, there's still time.
**[18:13] ---**
Together, the two of us.
**[18:15] ---**
Let's meet Papa's expectations.
**[18:23] ---**
It's the least they could do.
**[18:25] ---**
Detect the signal. Start twin maneuver.
**[18:29] ---**
Turbo... Separate the first control.
**[18:33] ---**
Adjust the...
**[18:36] ---**
Papa!
**[18:40] ---**
They're in the Armor?
**[18:45] ---**
It's Papa, Elle! We're inside of Papa!
**[18:49] ---**
I know. I can feel it.
**[18:51] ---**
Papa is ours!
**[18:53] ---**
We're not handing him over to anyone!
**[18:55] ---**
No!
**[18:56] ---**
This place is ours alone!
**[19:04] ---**
*I don't have any choice.*
**[19:23] ---**
An Armor?
**[19:24] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[19:27] ---**
Get out of that thing!
**[19:29] ---**
We're...
**[19:31] ---**
together with Papa!
**[19:37] ---**
Come quick! We're getting out of here!
**[19:39] ---**
But what about Van?
**[19:41] ---**
He'll be fine.
**[19:42] ---**
You want to continue
your journey, don't you?
**[19:48] ---**
Get out of that thing!
Why are you fighting?
**[19:50] ---**
It's what Papa wants!
**[19:52] ---**
Now we're with Papa.
**[19:54] ---**
The three of us are all
living happily together.
**[19:56] ---**
That's why.
**[19:57] ---**
You're in the way too!
**[20:01] ---**
This place is a graveyard.
**[20:03] ---**
We're together with Papa.
**[20:04] ---**
Always together!
**[20:06] ---**
Wherever together!
**[20:09] ---**
I see. In that case, here's what I'll do.
**[20:22] ---**
Sanctions Charge, Volcain.
**[20:29] ---**
He's got Armor, too!
**[20:37] ---**
Papa!
**[20:41] ---**
Papa, don't abandon us!
**[20:44] ---**
We can even dance well.
**[20:48] ---**
Delete.
**[20:50] ---**
Stop it!
**[20:52] ---**
Ray, you're going too far!
**[20:53] ---**
Get off your high horse.
There's no point in being kind!
**[21:00] ---**
Papa, our dance.
**[21:08] ---**
There's something I need to do.
**[21:10] ---**
And in order to do it...
**[21:13] ---**
I will never hesitate!
**[21:18] ---**
I will remove anything which
stands in the way of my purpose.
**[21:23] ---**
No matter what it is.
**[21:27] ---**
Elle.
**[21:28] ---**
Earl.
**[21:31] ---**
*The two of us.*
**[21:33] ---**
*Why?*
**[21:42] ---**
Ray!
**[21:46] ---**
Ray! Ray!
**[22:04] ---**
Van!
**[22:05] ---**
What happened to everyone?
**[22:08] ---**
Well, I'll see you around
if you're still alive.
**[22:13] ---**
That job left a bad taste in my mouth.
**[22:21] ---**
It can't be.
**[23:56] ---**
"Light My Fire"
**[23:57] ---**
*You really never know what's going
to happen when you're on a journey.*
**[24:01] ---**
*The place was refreshing,
a peaceful port town.*
**[24:05] ---**
*But even there, Van's life was in danger.*
**[24:09] ---**
*Blue sky, white clouds, Van running around.*
**[24:13] ---**
*Before we knew it, the
town was in an uproar.*
**[24:14] ---**
*A complete waste of a tropical paradise.*
**[24:17] ---**
*And it was the place where
our journey took a major turn.*

"Light My Fire"
**[02:31] ---**
I love you, my Muscat.
**[02:35] ---**
I love you too, Honey Cherry.
**[02:38] ---**
I've caused you trouble up 'til now,
but I promise, starting tomorrow
**[02:41] ---**
we're going to be waking up in paradise.
**[02:45] ---**
We'll shower in champagne...
**[02:46] ---**
and make mad, passionate love...
**[02:48] ---**
to each other while
wrapped in silk sheets.
**[02:51] ---**
I'll never make you feel
miserable because I don't have money.
**[02:55] ---**
For me, any place is
paradise as long as you're there.
**[02:59] ---**
Honey Cherry!
**[03:01] ---**
Muscat!
**[03:07] ---**
You taste like cherry.
**[03:09] ---**
We're gonna be so happy, Muscat!
**[03:11] ---**
That's right. So...
**[03:14] ---**
Put your hands up!
**[03:16] ---**
What the...
**[03:17] ---**
Sir?!
**[03:19] ---**
You all have bad manners.
**[03:21] ---**
Be quiet and keep eating!
**[03:23] ---**
You too, little baby.
**[03:25] ---**
Aren't you mistaking me with someone else?
**[03:27] ---**
No mistake.
**[03:29] ---**
You're Van, the Pretty Man
in the Garbage Heap.
**[03:32] ---**
Nope. I'm Van, the unsung
hero who gives everything he has.
**[03:35] ---**
You liked that name?
**[03:37] ---**
Be quiet, little baby.
**[03:41] ---**
Do you have some business with Van?
**[03:44] ---**
I want you to hand over your Armor.
**[03:46] ---**
My Armor? You mean Dann?
**[03:49] ---**
I'm gonna sell it off to Tony's
gang and make tons of money.
**[03:53] ---**
They say your Armor is a little
different from the other guys'.
**[03:57] ---**
Tony's the biggest Armor buff in town.
**[03:59] ---**
He'll pay anything for
Pretty Garbage Van's Armor.
**[04:02] ---**
And we're going to use the money
for our wedding in the town church!
**[04:07] ---**
Now, if you catch my drift...
**[04:08] ---**
hand over the Armor!
**[04:10] ---**
I can't do that. Dann is my Armor.
**[04:13] ---**
And mine alone.
**[04:15] ---**
You know they say a man's
life is the only thing he's got.
**[04:18] ---**
Nope. Dann is my life.
**[04:21] ---**
The two of us are inseparable.
**[04:23] ---**
Do you wanna die? You wanna die?
**[04:26] ---**
We're serious. Aren't we, Muscat?
**[04:31] ---**
Right. Very well then.
**[04:35] ---**
-Muscat!
-Excuse me!
**[04:43] ---**
Honey Cherry!
**[04:46] ---**
-Ouch!
-Hey! Catch!
**[04:51] ---**
Muscat, I'm sorry.
**[04:53] ---**
You can't even catch your girlfriend.
**[04:55] ---**
Get lost.
**[04:57] ---**
We'll leave for now.
**[04:58] ---**
But we'll meet again, "Pretty Garbage Van"!
**[05:01] ---**
You stupid dummy!
**[05:02] ---**
What the hell was that?
**[05:06] ---**
Sir, I'm truly sorry, but please...
**[05:10] ---**
get lost.
**[05:14] ---**
I didn't realize the ocean was so big.
**[05:17] ---**
And the weather's nice, too.
**[05:22] ---**
I don't like this town.
**[05:24] ---**
The people are idiots,
and I can't get anything to eat.
**[05:26] ---**
It's not like that!
**[05:28] ---**
It's cheerful, and it seems fun!
**[05:36] ---**
Oh, it's adorable!
**[05:40] ---**
Hey!
**[05:47] ---**
A man with an artificial right hand?
**[05:49] ---**
Yeah. It's shaped like a claw.
**[05:52] ---**
Beats me. I haven't heard anything either.
**[06:00] ---**
-Found 'em.
-We found 'em!
**[06:02] ---**
You again. What is that
thing you're riding in?
**[06:05] ---**
I can understand why you're blown away!
**[06:09] ---**
That's right. I provided the body.
**[06:12] ---**
And I remodeled it!
**[06:13] ---**
It's truly...
**[06:14] ---**
our love child!
**[06:16] ---**
Love Deluxe!
**[06:17] ---**
An amazing piece of Armor!
**[06:20] ---**
Sorry, but that thing isn't Armor.
**[06:24] ---**
This gorgeous body! And lovely engine!
**[06:27] ---**
Quite frankly, no one has
ever managed to escape!
**[06:29] ---**
From now on, you're Van,
"Prisoner of Love."
**[06:32] ---**
So give it up and hand over the Armor!
**[06:37] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[06:40] ---**
Love pinch!
**[06:43] ---**
My store...
**[06:46] ---**
Oops! Sorry! Pardon me! Brake shop!
**[06:49] ---**
There, I've apologized!
**[06:50] ---**
Muscat, I'll get him!
**[06:53] ---**
All right then. Bye-bye, my love!
**[06:57] ---**
Love Machine! Go!
**[07:01] ---**
I'm counting on you, Honey Cherry!
**[07:10] ---**
What's that?
**[07:11] ---**
Oh no! Stand clear, little baby!
**[07:16] ---**
Wendy!
**[07:33] ---**
There's no need to thank me, baby.
**[07:35] ---**
We'll never stop until we get his...
**[07:38] ---**
Muscat!
**[07:41] ---**
How dare you! How dare you!
**[07:46] ---**
Oh, no!
**[07:47] ---**
Muscat!
**[07:49] ---**
What have I done?
**[07:51] ---**
Honey Cherry!
**[07:53] ---**
That face doesn't suit you...
**[07:55] ---**
and Love Deluxe and
I are indestructible.
**[07:58] ---**
Don't you worry about me. Go get him!
**[08:02] ---**
I love you, Muscat!
**[08:03] ---**
I love you, too!
**[08:12] ---**
Van, over here! Over here!
**[08:14] ---**
Hurry!
**[08:15] ---**
They'll find us again if we're outside.
**[08:20] ---**
What is this place?
**[08:31] ---**
Hallelujah!
**[08:34] ---**
And isn't this adorable!
**[08:36] ---**
Don't worry about the age difference!
**[08:41] ---**
Fast...
**[08:42] ---**
Marriage Service Church.
**[08:44] ---**
Right! For 50k you can
be married in 5 minutes!
**[08:48] ---**
It's great!
**[08:49] ---**
I wonder if those two idiots
were talking about this place.
**[08:51] ---**
What's that? Did someone tell you about us?
**[08:53] ---**
That's right. In this town, it's OK.
**[08:56] ---**
It doesn't matter how old you are.
We're all equal when it comes to love!
**[08:59] ---**
Come on, get married now!
**[09:01] ---**
Hey!
**[09:02] ---**
Don't blush, you idiot!
**[09:04] ---**
But...
**[09:05] ---**
Let's get out of here.
**[09:07] ---**
I'd still rather be outside
than in this place.
**[09:09] ---**
Van!
**[09:10] ---**
It's news from blue coast...
**[09:11] ---**
They'll find us again!
**[09:13] ---**
If it comes to it, I'll
crush them with Dann!
**[09:16] ---**
That's the same thing Ray would do.
**[09:22] ---**
I really can't stand this town.
**[09:25] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[09:27] ---**
I just thought that, since you
seemed so down after meeting Ray.
**[09:30] ---**
What?
**[09:31] ---**
Is that why we came to this town?
**[09:33] ---**
This isn't a vacation.
**[09:35] ---**
I'm after the Claw.
**[09:36] ---**
And you're searching for
your brother, aren't you?
**[09:38] ---**
That's true, but...
**[09:40] ---**
Although I don't know
what's become of your brother.
**[09:44] ---**
How can you say that?
**[09:45] ---**
Do you have any guarantee he's all right?
**[09:52] ---**
My brother is...
**[09:57] ---**
My brother, Michael, is alive.
**[10:01] ---**
He's much smarter than I am and...
**[10:03] ---**
he's got an iron will.
**[10:05] ---**
He's very...
**[10:07] ---**
For a long time he took care of
me in place of my mom and dad.
**[10:13] ---**
He was captured because
he sacrificed himself...
**[10:17] ---**
so they couldn't find me.
**[10:19] ---**
No one could kill someone as kind as that.
**[10:23] ---**
I'm absolutely certain of that!
**[10:30] ---**
No, I...
**[10:33] ---**
Aloha!
**[10:36] ---**
You don't know when to stop.
**[10:37] ---**
Put us down now unless you
want to be smashed to pieces!
**[10:39] ---**
Then hand over the Armor first!
**[10:41] ---**
Otherwise, I'll drop you from way up here.
**[10:44] ---**
And if that happens, it's gonna hurt!
**[10:51] ---**
So what's it gonna be?
**[10:53] ---**
Are you gonna hand over the Armor or not?
**[10:55] ---**
Make up your mind
before I count down from ten.
**[10:57] ---**
Ten... nine...
**[11:01] ---**
eight... seven...
**[11:02] ---**
-Van!
-Eight... seven...
**[11:03] ---**
eight... seven...
**[11:04] ---**
six... five... four...
**[11:10] ---**
three... two...
**[11:19] ---**
Honey Cherry!
**[11:21] ---**
Muscat!
**[11:32] ---**
Van!
**[11:33] ---**
I can't do anything with these guys around.
**[11:35] ---**
But...
**[11:36] ---**
you don't have to go that far.
**[11:41] ---**
Hey!
**[11:41] ---**
Yes!
**[11:43] ---**
Don't put your girl in harm's way!
**[11:46] ---**
Protect her!
**[11:47] ---**
If you can't do that, then go home quietly.
**[11:50] ---**
Next time you come after me,
I'm not going to show you any mercy!
**[12:01] ---**
Muscat, are you OK?
**[12:07] ---**
Bunny.
**[12:09] ---**
What is it, Klatt?
**[12:11] ---**
You are my life.
**[12:14] ---**
And you're mine.
**[12:15] ---**
I could be happy even in hell,
as long as you were there with me.
**[12:19] ---**
Me too.
**[12:21] ---**
Then there's no question about what to do.
**[12:24] ---**
Even if that guy's for real.
**[12:29] ---**
A guest whose hand is a claw?
**[12:33] ---**
I'm very sorry but...
**[12:35] ---**
I see.
**[12:36] ---**
The thing is, there's something
very important we need to give him.
**[12:38] ---**
In that case, perhaps I could
check around at some other places.
**[12:42] ---**
Thanks. That would be a big help.
**[12:55] ---**
There's no helping you people.
**[13:00] ---**
I thought I told you that
next time you come after me
**[13:02] ---**
I'm not going to show you any mercy!
**[13:05] ---**
Who's making all the racket in the lobby?
**[13:09] ---**
I can't believe there are people
with such bad manners in my town.
**[13:16] ---**
What the... oh, no!
**[13:23] ---**
Hey...
**[13:25] ---**
You're Tony, aren't you?
**[13:28] ---**
The Armor... you did this?
**[13:29] ---**
Yep.
**[13:30] ---**
There's some damage,
but it's amazing, isn't it?
**[13:33] ---**
I remodeled it!
**[13:34] ---**
Remodeled?
**[13:35] ---**
That's right!
**[13:36] ---**
Now, I want to talk to you about something.
**[13:39] ---**
I'm about to use the Love Deluxe
**[13:40] ---**
to take Pretty Garbage
Van's Armor away from him.
**[13:42] ---**
I'd like for you to buy it.
**[13:44] ---**
I'll even remodel it for you,
if you'd like me to.
**[13:46] ---**
How dare you remodel my Armor!
**[13:48] ---**
Daddy, stop it!
**[13:51] ---**
Daddy?
**[13:54] ---**
I'm the one who took the Armor out.
**[13:57] ---**
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
**[13:59] ---**
I'm Tony's daughter, Bunny Montana.
**[14:02] ---**
Why did you wait until now?
**[14:05] ---**
I thought you'd dump me if you found
out I was the daughter of a mafia boss.
**[14:09] ---**
That's what all the others did up 'til now.
**[14:13] ---**
But Daddy, Klatt's not like the others!
**[14:16] ---**
If you let him remodel the Armor,
it'll be totally amazing!
**[14:28] ---**
Bunny, why are you...
**[14:30] ---**
such a poor judge of Armor and men?
**[14:34] ---**
Always ending up with these
crazy punks, and at your age.
**[14:39] ---**
Age?
**[14:49] ---**
Take these two away.
**[14:50] ---**
Yes sir!
**[14:51] ---**
Hey, what's my deal?
**[14:55] ---**
Looks like you use Armor,
**[14:57] ---**
but in my town, I am the law.
**[15:00] ---**
Don't mess with me.
**[15:01] ---**
Those guys chased me all over town.
**[15:04] ---**
Let me finish my business!
**[15:05] ---**
It was good exercise, wasn't it?
**[15:07] ---**
Now stop dressing like
a clown and get a real job.
**[15:10] ---**
What did you say?
**[15:17] ---**
Thatta boy.
**[15:19] ---**
One night cruising in wonderful night.
**[15:22] ---**
Hey.
**[15:22] ---**
Parade for just two of you tonight.
**[15:23] ---**
Parade for just two of you tonight.
**[15:24] ---**
What's going to happen to them?
**[15:27] ---**
I don't know.
**[15:28] ---**
Maybe they weren't all that bad.
**[15:31] ---**
But they weren't good either.
**[15:33] ---**
In other words,
they were two ordinary people,
**[15:35] ---**
and their deaths won't change anything.
**[15:40] ---**
Don't let it bother you.
**[15:42] ---**
Their deaths?
**[15:44] ---**
How could her own
father do something like that?
**[15:46] ---**
It's none of our business.
**[15:48] ---**
Let it be.
**[15:50] ---**
I know.
**[15:59] ---**
Idiot.
**[16:05] ---**
Defiling the family
Armor is a serious crime.
**[16:09] ---**
There's only one way
for you to make up for it.
**[16:18] ---**
Tony, I tricked your daughter.
**[16:22] ---**
I was doing it for your Armor!
**[16:25] ---**
It felt great riding in both of them.
**[16:29] ---**
Muscat!
**[16:30] ---**
Don't call me that you stupid bitch!
**[16:33] ---**
Wake up already.
It's time for you to go on home.
**[16:38] ---**
Protecting the woman you love
by taking all the blame yourself.
**[16:42] ---**
A shallow ploy well suited for an idiot.
**[16:44] ---**
But very well,
on account of it, I'll spare Bunny.
**[16:50] ---**
Bunny, kill him and...
**[16:53] ---**
I'll forget about this thing.
**[16:57] ---**
How?
**[16:59] ---**
How can you forget about this?
**[17:02] ---**
In the end, that's all you think of me!
**[17:06] ---**
The only thing you care about is Armor!
**[17:09] ---**
Bunny...
**[17:11] ---**
Open your eyes, Daddy.
**[17:12] ---**
Bunny is long since gone.
**[17:15] ---**
The person standing here is Klatt's wife.
**[17:20] ---**
It's Honey Cherry.
**[17:31] ---**
I love you, Muscat.
**[17:34] ---**
I love you too, Honey Cherry.
**[17:36] ---**
You fools are meant for each other.
**[17:38] ---**
But on account of the family and
the Armor, fools cannot be forgiven.
**[17:44] ---**
At least it'll be by my own hand.
**[17:48] ---**
What's that?
**[18:03] ---**
It's the guy from earlier today.
**[18:09] ---**
The vast ocean.
**[18:11] ---**
The refreshing breeze.
**[18:13] ---**
The cheerful people.
**[18:15] ---**
The bustling street corners.
**[18:18] ---**
I didn't think...
**[18:20] ---**
this place was for me from the start.
**[18:22] ---**
And I was right.
**[18:24] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[18:26] ---**
What am I doing here?
**[18:29] ---**
No matter how you look at it,
there's no reason for me to help these two.
**[18:34] ---**
That's obvious. They
attacked you, didn't they?
**[18:36] ---**
That's right.
**[18:38] ---**
Today was the worst.
**[18:40] ---**
That's why I've decided to
use you to get my mind off of it.
**[18:43] ---**
Get your mind off of it?
**[18:44] ---**
Is it a goddamn idiot fest tonight?
**[18:48] ---**
I'm an idiot!
**[18:49] ---**
You!
**[18:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:53] ---**
We're at the beach. Hurry!
**[18:58] ---**
Pretty Garbage Van.
**[19:01] ---**
Idiot!
**[19:06] ---**
Thanks for getting so many of them to come!
**[19:09] ---**
Muscat!
**[19:10] ---**
Honey Cherry!
**[19:14] ---**
This calls for...
**[19:23] ---**
That's enough, punk.
**[19:24] ---**
I'm gonna use my Armor to
put an end to this horseplay.
**[19:36] ---**
Take a look! This is my Armor.
**[19:39] ---**
3000 horsepower with
3000 weapons on board.
**[19:42] ---**
The name is "Tony 3000" too.
**[19:45] ---**
Like I said, that thing isn't Armor.
**[19:49] ---**
You call your Armor too.
We'll see whose is the best!
**[19:51] ---**
I don't think that's necessary.
**[19:53] ---**
In that case, I'm going to
give you something to regret!
**[20:04] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[20:07] ---**
Coward!
**[20:14] ---**
Oh, no!
**[20:22] ---**
How dare you do that to my Armor!
**[20:25] ---**
Thank you, Pretty Garbage Van.
**[20:28] ---**
I owe my life to you.
**[20:29] ---**
And so I'm through with
trying to get your Armor.
**[20:33] ---**
We'll thank you by giving you a new name!
**[20:36] ---**
You're a good person so...
**[20:37] ---**
Good Person, Van!
**[20:39] ---**
Good person?
**[20:44] ---**
I love you, Muscat.
**[20:47] ---**
I love you too, Honey Cherry.
**[20:50] ---**
Well, it's a good car,
but there's a glut in the used-car market
**[20:54] ---**
and it needs maintenance.
**[20:56] ---**
Also, what are your
plans for fixing up that one?
**[20:59] ---**
Don't worry about that one.
**[21:00] ---**
I'm gonna do it.
**[21:01] ---**
Then I guess 100k is all I can do.
**[21:04] ---**
Thanks. That's plenty.
**[21:07] ---**
Hallelujah!
**[21:10] ---**
Our love story begins.
**[21:12] ---**
After the ceremony
we'll head for paradise in Love Deluxe.
**[21:16] ---**
You're awesome, Muscat!
**[21:18] ---**
You two, follow me!
**[21:26] ---**
I'm sorry, Van.
**[21:28] ---**
Why are you apologizing?
**[21:30] ---**
Well, I suppose I said some
things I shouldn't have as well.
**[21:34] ---**
Thanks for waiting.
**[21:36] ---**
Say, you didn't happen to
see a man with a claw, did you?
**[21:41] ---**
He might have been here with a kid, a boy.
**[21:43] ---**
Oh sure, I know! He's right over there.
**[21:47] ---**
He's here now?
**[21:48] ---**
He's sitting over there.
**[21:50] ---**
He was there until just a minute ago.
**[21:53] ---**
He was talking about what time
he could catch a boat or something.
**[21:58] ---**
My brother.
**[22:00] ---**
*I found him!*
**[22:02] ---**
*I've cornered him!*
**[22:04] ---**
*Elena.*
**[22:06] ---**
*At last, I've finally got him!*
**[22:19] ---**
Which one?
**[22:20] ---**
Where is he?
**[23:56] ---**
"The Vengeance Within"
**[23:57] ---**
a6\i1}To tell you the truth,
I can't really remember the place...*
**[24:03] ---**
a6\i1}...where it was, or how long we were there.*
**[24:08] ---**
a6\i1}I just remember that...*
**[24:11] ---**
a6\i1}...it was a very quiet
and very pretty place.*
**[24:15] ---**

time seemed to stand still,*

had stepped into a picture.*

*The planet people call "Endless Illusion."*
**[01:52] ---**
*Van and Wendy allowed*
**[01:54] ---**
*the Claw to escape from
the port town of Harbor Parade.*
**[01:59] ---**
*The two chase after him,*
**[02:01] ---**
*even as they are tossed
about by the storms of fate.*
**[02:03] ---**
*But after the storm there is a calm.*
**[02:06] ---**
*A most dreadful calm.*
**[02:10] ---**
"The Vengeance Within"
**[02:14] ---**
What? It's broken?
**[02:16] ---**
We went too fast and the engine died.
**[02:20] ---**
There's no way we can catch up with a boat
**[02:23] ---**
that left over 12 hours ago
in such a short amount of time.
**[02:26] ---**
You should have told me that sooner!
**[02:27] ---**
I know the port where they're going to.
**[02:29] ---**
There's nothing to get worked up about.
**[02:31] ---**
We'll have it fixed in 4 or 5 hours.
**[02:32] ---**
You can go hang out and relax
over on that island until then.
**[02:35] ---**
We can't sleep on the boat?
**[02:37] ---**
You'd have to lie on the edge of the deck.
**[02:39] ---**
And there's not much space so
you'd get in the way of our work.
**[02:41] ---**
We'll lend you a boat,
so think of it as a vacation, OK?
**[02:45] ---**
Damn it! 4 or 5 hours?
**[02:48] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:51] ---**
You can read a book at a time like this?
**[02:53] ---**
There's nothing we can do.
**[03:01] ---**
I thought they said they
were going on a long trip.
**[03:04] ---**
They don't have shit.
**[03:06] ---**
Hey... that's my...
**[03:12] ---**
They only gave us enough gas for one way!
**[03:15] ---**
Oh no... they're thieves?!
**[03:20] ---**
Damn it! And of all places!
**[03:24] ---**
What seems to be the matter?
**[03:30] ---**
I see. What a terrible thing
to have happened to you.
**[03:34] ---**
Every so often there are those people
**[03:36] ---**
who become captives of their own greed.
**[03:38] ---**
It is a true shame.
**[03:40] ---**
Mister Joe Lutz...
**[03:42] ---**
Just call me Joe.
**[03:43] ---**
Joe, aren't there any ports on the island?
**[03:47] ---**
Well, you see...
**[03:48] ---**
this place is my own personal property.
**[03:51] ---**
It is?
**[03:52] ---**
The island had an official name
**[03:54] ---**
but I now call it by the
one I gave to it myself.
**[03:59] ---**
Welcome to La vie en Rose.
**[04:04] ---**
It's my villa which I built
for entertaining guests.
**[04:08] ---**
Right now only the staff
and myself are here,
**[04:11] ---**
so please make yourselves at home
while you wait for the next boat.
**[04:14] ---**
But...
**[04:16] ---**
Of course there aren't
any expenses for staying.
**[04:18] ---**
My intentions are entirely well meaning.
**[04:22] ---**
I don't like it.
**[04:23] ---**
Van!
**[04:25] ---**
Van?
**[04:26] ---**
You must be the Van known as "The
Devil's Poison in the Poisoned Tuxedo."
**[04:30] ---**
I went by that name a long time ago.
**[04:32] ---**
I've been called Van,
"the Good Person" as well.
**[04:34] ---**
Then I must apologize.
**[04:36] ---**
Well then, Van, is there
something which you're unhappy about?
**[04:40] ---**
Not really.
**[04:41] ---**
I just don't like it when people
tell me that they're "well meaning."
**[04:44] ---**
Van! You're being rude!
**[04:46] ---**
I am truly sorry if I've
hurt your feelings.
**[04:49] ---**
My wish is for the peace and
happiness of all those who I encounter.
**[04:55] ---**
What do you get out of it?
**[04:58] ---**
I'm not concerned with
gains or losses anymore.
**[05:02] ---**
I've already made my fortune.
**[05:04] ---**
In that case, hurry up and lend us a boat.
**[05:07] ---**
There's nothing I'd rather do than
provide you with that which you desire,
**[05:10] ---**
but there are no boats at
La vie en Rose right now.
**[05:12] ---**
A mail carrier will be
coming here in 10 days.
**[05:15] ---**
I ask that you please...
**[05:16] ---**
10 days?!
**[05:17] ---**
Yes. Please stay here until then.
**[05:20] ---**
I look forward to doing everything
I can to entertain you as my guests.
**[05:50] ---**
So soft!
**[06:06] ---**
10 days in this place.
**[06:19] ---**
Please, relax.
**[06:21] ---**
Yes.
Excuse me.
**[06:25] ---**
Give me a milk instead of this,
**[06:27] ---**
and bring me all the condiments you've got.
**[06:33] ---**
The two people you're looking for...
**[06:37] ---**
the Claw and Miss
Wendy's older brother...
**[06:41] ---**
I passed on the information about
them to my staff in the Scenic Islands.
**[06:45] ---**
I'm having all boats
entering all harbors checked.
**[06:49] ---**
So please set your minds at
ease and make yourself at home.
**[06:52] ---**
Why are you doing all this?
**[06:53] ---**
No matter in what form,
all human encounters are fate.
**[06:57] ---**
Given that, I devote myself
entirely to whomever I am with.
**[07:01] ---**
Even if it amounts to nothing
more than a mere fraction of my life.
**[07:06] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:08] ---**
Think nothing of it.
**[07:09] ---**
I'm only trying to be
faithful to my own philosophy.
**[07:17] ---**
I'm sorry about earlier today.
**[07:19] ---**
That's all right. I am often misunderstood.
**[07:23] ---**
By the way...
**[07:24] ---**
I'd like to ask you about
something if it's all right.
**[07:26] ---**
What is your relationship with that man?
**[07:32] ---**
Of course, you don't have
to answer if you don't want to.
**[07:35] ---**
No, it's OK. He's...
**[07:45] ---**
It's beautiful!
**[08:06] ---**
I see.
**[08:08] ---**
Your bride...
**[08:10] ---**
I know very well how you must feel.
**[08:13] ---**
I've lost many friends.
**[08:16] ---**
You see, at one time I
was involved in a conflict.
**[08:19] ---**
There were those who
were killed by the enemy.
**[08:21] ---**
Those who were betrayed by their friends.
**[08:24] ---**
Those who I buried myself.
**[08:26] ---**
But...
**[08:29] ---**
Van, do you know what awaits
you at the end of vengeance?
**[08:36] ---**
Nothing.
**[08:37] ---**
My restless body and soul
arrived at that final station
**[08:42] ---**
and... there was nothing.
**[09:26] ---**
You're an excellent tennis
player, Miss Wendy.
**[09:31] ---**
I feel refreshed!
**[09:33] ---**
I wish Van could have joined us.
**[09:36] ---**
Van is back in his room resting.
**[09:39] ---**
He's still sleeping?
**[09:41] ---**
Yes.
**[09:42] ---**
But in any case, that was
some great tennis you played.
**[09:45] ---**
My brother taught me.
Although he didn't teach me much.
**[09:48] ---**
You said his name was Michael, right?
**[09:51] ---**
I wish I could meet him.
**[09:54] ---**
We've been here 3 days already.
I hope my brother's OK.
**[09:58] ---**
Of course he is.
**[09:59] ---**
He has to be with all
the concern you've shown.
**[10:04] ---**
This is just a guess, but that
man wouldn't have gone through
**[10:07] ---**
the trouble of taking Michael away
with him unless he had a reason.
**[10:10] ---**
Which would mean he has no
intention of killing him, right?
**[10:13] ---**
That's right!
**[10:15] ---**
Yes.
**[10:16] ---**
The chances of him returning
home safely are extremely high.
**[10:20] ---**
Which would mean...
**[10:22] ---**
wouldn't you stand an even
better chance of seeing him again
**[10:24] ---**
if you waited in your hometown?
**[10:27] ---**
That's the only place
for him to go back to,
**[10:31] ---**
and if he returned while you're out,
you could end up missing each other.
**[10:44] ---**
Nothing comes from anger and bitterness,
**[10:47] ---**
but through friendship
all things are possible.
**[10:51] ---**
Amongst these people, there
are some who were my enemies.
**[10:54] ---**
There are some who were
my friends' enemies as well.
**[10:56] ---**
Why did you become friends with them?
**[10:59] ---**
Because I forgave them.
**[11:00] ---**
I saw that was the
starting point for everything.
**[11:06] ---**
I've been informed that the
man is in the town of Tours.
**[11:09] ---**
Shall I put a tail on him?
**[11:10] ---**
Please!
**[11:12] ---**
How about a game?
**[11:15] ---**
Did you tell her?
**[11:17] ---**
Miss Wendy was tired from
playing tennis earlier today
**[11:20] ---**
and has already gone to bed.
**[11:21] ---**
I'll tell her first thing tomorrow.
**[11:23] ---**
I see.
**[11:25] ---**
This calls for a drink in celebration.
**[11:26] ---**
Sure.
**[11:28] ---**
Thanks. You've been a big help.
**[11:32] ---**
You're too open about things.
**[11:35] ---**
So much so that you scare me.
**[11:39] ---**
You seem to have gotten
on the boat of desire.
**[11:44] ---**
And that boat is heading
for the depths of despair.
**[11:52] ---**
Do you stand to gain
anything by killing the Claw?
**[11:57] ---**
That's not what this is about.
**[12:00] ---**
He killed Elena! I'm
going to get my revenge.
**[12:03] ---**
Is that what she would have wanted?
**[12:09] ---**
Or is it merely something you want to do?
**[12:12] ---**
But...
**[12:14] ---**
The person who
contacted me was once my enemy.
**[12:26] ---**
Hatred calls for more hatred,
**[12:28] ---**
out of which comes only
a chain of vengeance.
**[12:32] ---**
Which satisfies no one.
**[12:35] ---**
You are undoubtedly pure.
**[12:37] ---**
Because of this pureness, you let
your hatred lead you where it may.
**[12:43] ---**
But the woman who you loved...
**[12:46] ---**
wouldn't she have wanted
you to forget about everything
**[12:48] ---**
and live happily in peace instead?
**[12:50] ---**
Shut up! I don't care what you say!
**[12:56] ---**
There's one left.
**[13:00] ---**
What are you going to do?
**[13:02] ---**
Will you put an end to it
today or will you continue?
**[13:05] ---**
It's your decision.
**[13:21] ---**
Lucky! Lucky!
**[13:30] ---**
You stay in here, Wendy.
**[13:31] ---**
But...
**[13:32] ---**
Hurry!
**[13:34] ---**
Kameo, take good care of her.
**[13:37] ---**
What about you, big brother?!
**[13:40] ---**
Don't worry about me. You just hold tight.
**[13:42] ---**
Don't go outside.
**[13:43] ---**
But you'll...
**[13:44] ---**
I'll be fine. I've got this with me.
**[13:47] ---**
I'll come back no matter what.
**[13:49] ---**
So don't go outside. Promise me.
**[14:02] ---**
This is what I think.
**[14:05] ---**
Those who entrust themselves to
their own desires only lose their pride
**[14:09] ---**
and make enemies.
**[14:11] ---**
They don't accept anyone,
thank anyone or take joy in anything.
**[14:15] ---**
Ahead of them lies their own destruction.
**[14:19] ---**
Something for you to think about, Van.
**[14:28] ---**
So maybe it's better if I went home?
**[14:31] ---**
Yes, you probably should.
**[14:32] ---**
You're more likely to find him that way.
**[14:35] ---**
We'll protect Michael
and bring him to Evergreen.
**[14:40] ---**
Van said the same thing.
**[14:43] ---**
He also thinks it's safer that way.
**[14:46] ---**
Right now he's back in his
room recovering from a hangover.
**[14:50] ---**
I see.
**[14:57] ---**
Go home? She said that?
**[15:00] ---**
Yes. I'll see to it that she makes it back.
**[15:05] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[15:07] ---**
What about her brother?
What's she going to do about him?
**[15:09] ---**
He has his life, and she has hers, right?
**[15:15] ---**
It's something for you
to consider as well, Van.
**[15:26] ---**
Yes. This is another thing I believe.
**[15:30] ---**
Life is victory.
**[15:32] ---**
Death is defeat.
**[15:34] ---**
The quiet peacefulness that keeps
desire at bay is the key to true happiness.
**[15:40] ---**
Shouldn't you be thinking
about your own happiness?
**[15:45] ---**
I suppose... even if I...
**[15:49] ---**
Even if I didn't do it...
**[15:51] ---**
he would still...
**[15:53] ---**
because I know...
**[15:56] ---**
he would...
**[16:22] ---**
Elena...
**[16:24] ---**
Elena, I'm tired.
**[16:28] ---**
Every day that you're not here.
**[16:30] ---**
Maybe it's time for me to
let you live on as a memory.
**[16:36] ---**
No. You shouldn't do that, Elena.
**[16:41] ---**
Come on, stop it.
**[16:44] ---**
Stop it, Elena.
**[16:56] ---**
That's right.
**[16:58] ---**
There can be no
happiness for me in this world...
**[17:01] ---**
because Elena is gone.
**[17:05] ---**
That was some joke!
**[17:07] ---**
Huh, Joe!
**[17:09] ---**
That's too bad.
**[17:11] ---**
I was really hoping we
could become good friends.
**[17:14] ---**
You're a friend of the Claw!
**[17:18] ---**
The plan was to have you
slowly rot away here, but...
**[17:25] ---**
you leave me no choice.
**[17:27] ---**
You really do disturb the peace.
**[17:30] ---**
You are our enemy!
**[17:33] ---**
"Our"?
**[17:35] ---**
It's a pity, Van.
**[17:37] ---**
I now challenge you to fight
**[17:39] ---**
"Golden Cradle," the Armor
my comrade left here for me.
**[17:43] ---**
There are lots of things I need to ask you.
**[17:46] ---**
So I'm sorry, but...
**[17:49] ---**
I'll have to bite the
hand that feeds me!
**[17:58] ---**
Let's see what you've got.
**[18:05] ---**
Wake up, Dann!
**[18:08] ---**
Launch, Golden Cradle!
**[18:13] ---**
Van!
**[18:15] ---**
Excuse me while I take
the liberty of striking first.
**[18:18] ---**
Sure. Go ahead.
**[18:19] ---**
Very well then...
**[18:26] ---**
I'm finally sober!
**[18:27] ---**
You'd be happier if you'd stayed drunk.
**[18:35] ---**
Not bad!
**[18:39] ---**
Van!
**[18:41] ---**
I'm sorry, but I have to
laugh at you for even thinking
**[18:44] ---**
you could find and kill my
comrade with your level of ability.
**[18:47] ---**
Joe...
**[19:21] ---**
*You stay in here, Wendy.*
**[19:23] ---**
*Just hold tight. Don't go outside.*
**[19:28] ---**
That man has a great cause.
**[19:31] ---**
You are, so to speak,
the ghost of an abandoned past!
**[19:34] ---**
Which means you cannot go back!
You cannot look back!
**[19:38] ---**
Please don't express your desires any more!
**[19:44] ---**
I get your point!
**[19:46] ---**
Now hear mine.
**[19:49] ---**
I'm going to beat the crap out of
you and find out where the Claw is.
**[19:54] ---**
I'll follow him all the way
to the lowest pit of hell.
**[19:57] ---**
I don't give a damn what you all think!
**[20:00] ---**
If I did, I'd never be content!
**[20:04] ---**
Yes. That's right.
**[20:05] ---**
That's my desire!
**[20:07] ---**
My future!
**[20:09] ---**
What's wrong with me doing things my way?!
**[20:18] ---**
Van!
**[20:20] ---**
It's about time for me to
get ready for dinner...
**[20:25] ---**
so I ask that you
kindly prepare yourself.
**[20:28] ---**
You're the one who needs to be prepared!
**[20:31] ---**
You must be joking!
**[20:44] ---**
Van!
**[20:48] ---**
Chesuto!
**[20:53] ---**
Well done... You sank the last ball...
**[20:58] ---**
I should have expected nothing
less from the Original Seven.
**[21:02] ---**
But even so, I was able
to buy time for my comrade.
**[21:06] ---**
Are you going to tell me where he is?!
**[21:11] ---**
And now...
**[21:12] ---**
for my final act of friendship...
**[21:19] ---**
Excuse me.
**[21:20] ---**
What?!
**[21:32] ---**
Damn it!
**[21:38] ---**
Did our master win?
**[21:39] ---**
Who cares?
**[21:40] ---**
If we don't get out of here quick...
**[21:43] ---**
Stop the boat!
**[21:50] ---**
*It looks like the Claw has
other friends as well...*
**[21:55] ---**
*and he knows I'm coming.*
**[22:00] ---**
*It's going to become even
harder to track him down.*
**[22:05] ---**
Hey, Van...
**[22:08] ---**
We're not making a mistake, are we?
**[22:11] ---**
I don't know.
**[22:13] ---**
But even so, I'm not stopping anymore.
**[22:15] ---**
What about you?
**[22:27] ---**
*I'm sorry, big brother.*
**[22:29] ---**
*Allow me to break just one of our promises.*
**[23:56] ---**
"Bound by Blood"
**[23:59] ---**
*That's when we met Joshua.*
**[24:03] ---**
*He helped me out after I ran
into some Armor in the mountains.*
**[24:07] ---**
*He knew a lot about
Armor and had a good heart.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Van hated him, but we
got along from the start.*
**[24:16] ---**
*Yes, we did seem to have
some things in common.*
**[24:20] ---**

*The wind blows down
the wound covered dream.*
**[01:42] ---**
*The storm of desire blows
away the bit of happiness.*
**[01:46] ---**
*The planet Endless Illusion

"Bound by Blood"
**[02:31] ---**
Don't fall.
**[02:33] ---**
I don't want to have to deal with it.
**[02:35] ---**
You're cruel.
**[02:37] ---**
You want to go back to the last town?
**[02:39] ---**
That's all right.
We've already come this far!
**[02:42] ---**
Look out!
**[02:44] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[02:47] ---**
Hurry! Hurry up and get out of here!
**[02:51] ---**
You too!
**[02:52] ---**
Me too?
**[03:03] ---**
Watch out!
**[03:09] ---**
Hurry! Over here!
**[03:19] ---**
That was a close one.
**[03:23] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[03:24] ---**
I'm Joshua.
**[03:27] ---**
That's not what I asked.
**[03:28] ---**
Excuse me, who are you?
**[03:32] ---**
"Van the Nice Guy."
**[03:35] ---**
He changed it a little.
**[03:36] ---**
Van the Nice Guy...
**[03:39] ---**
So then, you're Mr. Nice, right?
**[03:41] ---**
It's Van!
**[03:42] ---**
Sorry.
**[03:43] ---**
So, who are you?
**[03:45] ---**
I'm Wendy Garret.
**[03:47] ---**
Wendy.
**[03:49] ---**
I'm Joshua Lundgren. Nice to meet you.
**[03:52] ---**
You just told us that a second ago.
**[03:54] ---**
Lundgren.
**[03:56] ---**
Like I said, what was that thing?
**[03:58] ---**
Oh, that was an Armor.
**[04:00] ---**
Armor?
**[04:05] ---**
It looks like a living creature at first,
**[04:07] ---**
but that movement is unique to
Armor loaded with an S-drive unit.
**[04:10] ---**
You know a lot.
**[04:12] ---**
I've been going to the Armor
Development Lab ever since I was a kid.
**[04:16] ---**
So then who's riding it?
**[04:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[04:20] ---**
It seems to indiscriminately attack
people who pass through here.
**[04:23] ---**
That's why it suddenly came after me.
**[04:25] ---**
I don't know what would have
happened if you hadn't helped me out.
**[04:28] ---**
I didn't help you.
**[04:29] ---**
You're such a kidder.
**[04:30] ---**
I'm not kidding.
**[04:38] ---**
I can't believe we're
stuck in here like this.
**[04:39] ---**
Let me have it.
**[04:41] ---**
3D puzzles are a cinch
**[04:43] ---**
once you understand the thought
process behind the design.
**[04:45] ---**
Let me make up for the trouble...
**[04:46] ---**
That's not for you to solve!
I have to do it.
**[04:50] ---**
Sorry...
**[04:51] ---**
You don't have any friends, do you?
**[04:54] ---**
No.
**[04:55] ---**
You want to help?
**[04:57] ---**
Yes.
**[04:58] ---**
All right then.
**[04:59] ---**
You distract the Armor
until I get that sword.
**[05:03] ---**
Sure!
**[05:04] ---**
Huh? You want me to...?
**[05:06] ---**
You led it here, didn't you?
**[05:08] ---**
That's right, but...
**[05:09] ---**
to be honest, I'm scared.
**[05:13] ---**
Hey, you do it.
**[05:16] ---**
All right.
**[05:17] ---**
No, don't!
**[05:18] ---**
You can't put this poor little
thing in such a dangerous situation.
**[05:21] ---**
I don't have any choice, do I?
**[05:22] ---**
I don't mind.
**[05:27] ---**
All right then. I'll do it.
**[05:29] ---**
You're not scared?
**[05:31] ---**
I'm very scared...
**[05:33] ---**
but women are to be protected.
**[05:36] ---**
I'll be back!
**[05:39] ---**
H-Hello!
**[05:42] ---**
I'm Joshua Lundgren. Nice to meet you.
**[05:44] ---**
To whoever's riding the Armor,
what's your name?
**[05:47] ---**
Let's try and get along with each other.
**[05:49] ---**
We'll be friends from now on.
**[05:51] ---**
Can you hear me? I'm Joshua!
**[05:54] ---**
Hey... that plate is...
**[06:01] ---**
Van, I'm in trouble!
**[06:03] ---**
I couldn't do it after all!
**[06:08] ---**
Get away from me, you idiot!
**[06:31] ---**
Him!
**[06:32] ---**
Volcain...
**[06:34] ---**
It's Volcain!
**[06:36] ---**
Josh...
**[06:37] ---**
It's me. I was looking for you.
**[06:39] ---**
Let's go home together!
**[06:42] ---**
It's me! Joshua!
**[06:47] ---**
Big brother! You can hear me, can't you?
**[06:49] ---**
You said your name was "Lundgren"...
**[06:50] ---**
Big brother!
**[06:52] ---**
Go home.
**[06:54] ---**
There's something I have to do.
**[06:56] ---**
But... big brother!
**[06:59] ---**
Don't come after me again.
**[07:00] ---**
Big brother! Big brother!
**[07:10] ---**
My brother changed completely
after the Claw killed Shino.
**[07:16] ---**
He was quiet and gentle until it happened,
**[07:18] ---**
but now he's obsessed with vengeance.
**[07:22] ---**
I want to get him to stop.
**[07:24] ---**
Even if he kills his enemy,
it won't make his wound heal, will it?
**[07:27] ---**
That's ridiculous.
**[07:30] ---**
The fact he's here means that Armor
must have something to do with the Claw.
**[07:35] ---**
I'm gonna go see what I can find out.
**[07:37] ---**
Please, take me with you!
**[07:39] ---**
I don't want to.
**[07:40] ---**
You talk about stopping vengeance,
how it won't make things any better.
**[07:43] ---**
People who think they can settle things
with just a few words are dead weight.
**[07:48] ---**
And besides, I hate your goddamn brother.
**[07:52] ---**
You're worthless. Now go home.
**[07:54] ---**
You shouldn't talk to him like that!
**[07:56] ---**
It's only natural for him to
worry about his brother, isn't it?!
**[07:59] ---**
Don't think we're all strong
the same way you and Ray are.
**[08:03] ---**
Wendy.
**[08:07] ---**
To hell with you.
**[08:12] ---**
Thank you.
**[08:15] ---**
I know how you feel, Joshua...
**[08:17] ---**
Wendy, let's split up
and try and get information.
**[08:21] ---**
That way, they'll listen to us.
**[08:25] ---**
Yeah... I guess...
**[08:26] ---**
That's right!
**[08:27] ---**
Deep down inside my brother
Ray is a kind and gentle nice guy.
**[08:31] ---**
And I'm sure Van will listen too if
we sat down and talked with him!
**[08:39] ---**
Sorry you'll have to share a table.
We've got a lot of customers today.
**[08:45] ---**
Hello, thanks for waiting.
What would you like?
**[08:49] ---**
The usual.
**[08:50] ---**
You're a regular?
**[08:52] ---**
He's a good customer. And how about you?
**[08:55] ---**
I'll start off with all your condiments.
**[08:59] ---**
All of them.
**[09:03] ---**
The Armor appeared about 2 years ago...
**[09:06] ---**
and ever since, it seems to
indiscriminately attack anyone
**[09:08] ---**
who tries to cross the mountain.
**[09:10] ---**
According to my information,
**[09:12] ---**
2 years ago at the same time,
a man came to town with 2 children.
**[09:18] ---**
His right hand was like a claw.
**[09:21] ---**
So then, the man in that
Armor is a friend of the Claw?
**[09:24] ---**
Yes. There's a very good chance.
**[09:28] ---**
I bet my brother is
thinking the same thing.
**[09:31] ---**
You can tell from the
photos I've obtained that...
**[09:34] ---**
it's over 100 meters long.
**[09:35] ---**
Armed with a hydraulic cutter
which comes out of its imitation mouth.
**[09:39] ---**
The outer surface is
composed of Karanjiru plates.
**[09:41] ---**
It's well known for its hardness,
**[09:43] ---**
so to destroy it even
Volcain needs a special-type shell,
**[09:46] ---**
not an ordinary mining-type one.
**[09:47] ---**
But the things I'm most concerned about
**[09:50] ---**
are the separate plates visible
inside the dorsal fin structure.
**[09:53] ---**
If they're Aster panel
then they're based on sunlight, but...
**[09:57] ---**
You sure know a lot.
**[09:59] ---**
I just picked it up from all the times
I went to the Development Lab.
**[10:05] ---**
Ms. Shino was...
**[10:07] ---**
She was in charge of design there,
**[10:11] ---**
and my brother was an Armor test pilot.
**[10:13] ---**
They were a perfect match
and were in love with each other.
**[10:18] ---**
I can hardly imagine...
**[10:20] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[10:22] ---**
It's OK.
**[10:23] ---**
There's no way you could
ever tell by looking at him now.
**[10:27] ---**
But back then,
my brother seemed truly happy.
**[10:31] ---**
Losing Ms. Shino was a sad thing...
**[10:35] ---**
but I want to make
things like they were before...
**[10:39] ---**
even if it's just a little bit.
**[10:40] ---**
I want to see my brother's smile again.
**[10:43] ---**
So do I.
**[10:44] ---**
That's right.
You're looking for your brother too.
**[10:50] ---**
We're kind of similar, you and me.
**[10:55] ---**
Yes.
**[10:56] ---**
I like it!
**[10:57] ---**
Not again!
**[11:00] ---**
Yeah. It's perfect. Just the way I like it.
**[11:03] ---**
That's your third plate.
**[11:05] ---**
Well I suppose everyone has
their own style of eating, but...
**[11:08] ---**
The food here is great.
**[11:10] ---**
Thanks.
**[11:16] ---**
Well, I'm going back to my room,
**[11:19] ---**
and thank you very
much for fixing this for me.
**[11:23] ---**
Don't worry about it. It was nothing.
**[11:25] ---**
Well, see you tomorrow.
**[11:26] ---**
Oh, and good night!
**[11:28] ---**
Good night.
**[11:30] ---**
Good night.
**[11:34] ---**
Hey, Kameo...
**[11:36] ---**
he's a good person, isn't he?
**[11:45] ---**
There's just nothing else it
could be except a design flaw.
**[11:50] ---**
But that's impossible...
**[12:02] ---**
In other words, you want me to be a decoy.
**[12:05] ---**
You used my little brother as one.
**[12:08] ---**
He was completely useless.
**[12:12] ---**
It'd be simple, if it was only a
matter of bringing down the Armor.
**[12:14] ---**
We just need to shoot one of Volcain's
energy-charged execution shells into it.
**[12:18] ---**
But it takes time to load it,
**[12:22] ---**
and if we hit the cockpit, we'll end
up killing the Armor rider as well.
**[12:25] ---**
All I want to do is stop it from moving.
**[12:27] ---**
To do that I'll have to find a gap in the
exterior and destroy the body from the inside.
**[12:33] ---**
We need a distraction...
**[12:35] ---**
That's my duty?
**[12:37] ---**
I can't trust you.
**[12:40] ---**
In that case, you can take
my little brother hostage.
**[12:44] ---**
You make me sick!
**[13:00] ---**
We could settle this right here.
**[13:02] ---**
You're sure to be off the
mark after all you've drunk.
**[13:05] ---**
This is water.
**[13:08] ---**
I can't enjoy anything anymore.
**[13:15] ---**
I'll be waiting there tomorrow.
**[13:22] ---**
Sir, we're about to close.
**[13:25] ---**
And look, your friend's
already gone home too.
**[13:28] ---**
He's not a friend.
**[13:30] ---**
Then what is he?
**[13:36] ---**
It's an educated guess, but we've just about
finished sorting through all the information.
**[13:39] ---**
In any case, let's tell them.
**[13:42] ---**
Yeah. Then they can also...
**[13:46] ---**
What was that?
**[13:48] ---**
Van... Don't tell me those two are...!
**[13:52] ---**
What? Van's got Armor too?!
**[13:56] ---**
Sanctions Charge, Volcain.
**[14:05] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[14:14] ---**
The fog's gotten thick.
**[14:17] ---**
It means he's about to show up.
**[14:19] ---**
He must have noticed right away
**[14:20] ---**
since you made such an obvious
display of bringing down your Armor.
**[14:24] ---**
And another thing...
**[14:25] ---**
keep your external sound turned off.
He can pick it up.
**[14:29] ---**
Shut up. Don't tell me what to do.
**[14:32] ---**
Let's go over it one more time.
Your job is to stop him from moving.
**[14:37] ---**
During that interval, I'll shoot
at the opening in its exterior.
**[14:41] ---**
Judging from its action pattern,
the cockpit is located in the head.
**[14:45] ---**
Be careful not to damage it.
**[14:47] ---**
So then it's all right if I take it
down and pull out the Armor rider?
**[14:51] ---**
If you can.
**[14:52] ---**
We'll see.
**[14:56] ---**
Wait. I'll check its location.
**[14:59] ---**
Damn it. It's already here!
**[15:05] ---**
They weren't kidding.
It's tougher than steel.
**[15:10] ---**
If only they realized
they don't need to fight.
**[15:13] ---**
We have to stop them!
**[15:18] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?
Hurry up and shoot!
**[15:24] ---**
Not yet.
**[15:38] ---**
Chesuto!
**[15:41] ---**
Don't raise your head!
**[15:51] ---**
Damnit!
**[15:58] ---**
Delete.
**[16:00] ---**
Josh?
**[16:04] ---**
Hey, after all your talk about
how great you are, you missed?
**[16:14] ---**
Joshua, are you all right?
**[16:17] ---**
I'm hurt a little...
but women are to be protected.
**[16:22] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[16:29] ---**
In that case, I'll fire point-blank.
**[16:34] ---**
He's got an air-tight inner shell as well.
**[16:36] ---**
Looks like I'll have to use this then.
**[16:38] ---**
Van!
**[16:41] ---**
Hey! Did you see where Dann's sword went?
**[16:44] ---**
Were you fighting together with my brother?
**[16:47] ---**
Hurry up and tell me!
**[16:49] ---**
-But...!
-Not now!
**[16:57] ---**
All right. Now where do I penetrate?
**[17:00] ---**
Hey, can you hear me?
**[17:02] ---**
What is it?
**[17:03] ---**
Your little brother said
to aim for the dorsal fin.
**[17:06] ---**
Dorsal fin?
**[17:07] ---**
He said... what was it?
**[17:09] ---**
It becomes a solar battery
when it's deployed,
**[17:12] ---**
so it should be structurally
weaker than the outer wall.
**[17:14] ---**
It's an S-Drive so it should easily stop.
**[17:17] ---**
Please, aim for there!
**[17:19] ---**
That's what he said.
**[17:20] ---**
Could you hear?
**[17:22] ---**
I don't need your help.
**[17:38] ---**
Chesuto!
**[17:45] ---**
Hey, I'm borrowing this thing.
**[17:47] ---**
There's only enough
pressure for one shot. Don't miss.
**[17:51] ---**
Who cares?
**[17:53] ---**
Say a prayer for me if you're scared.
**[17:57] ---**
Chesuto!
**[18:12] ---**
Van?!
**[18:13] ---**
Did he win?
**[18:20] ---**
Hey...
**[18:38] ---**
He's been dead for a long time.
**[18:40] ---**
It must have been an
automated tracking system.
**[18:43] ---**
Yeah, that's what your
little brother said too.
**[18:46] ---**
He said there was something strange
about the way it was storing energy.
**[18:48] ---**
I didn't know this type of Armor existed.
**[18:50] ---**
But why would the Claw just leave it here?
**[18:54] ---**
The thing moved on its own,
**[18:56] ---**
with a member of the
development team shut inside.
**[18:59] ---**
It's the same thing as
with the twins, isn't it?
**[19:01] ---**
After all, the product was a failure.
**[19:04] ---**
Don't put it like that.
**[19:06] ---**
He was an honest man
who did his duty, wasn't he?
**[19:11] ---**
But now they can rest in peace.
We can make good use of the data.
**[19:17] ---**
So is this what I think it is?
**[19:20] ---**
You said you couldn't trust me, didn't you?
**[19:22] ---**
Hand over the board.
**[19:23] ---**
Sure thing.
**[19:30] ---**
Please stop!
**[19:35] ---**
Big Brother, come home with me!
**[19:38] ---**
Don't break Shino's heart by
putting yourself in such danger!
**[19:42] ---**
Josh...
**[19:43] ---**
Shino's gone to a place where
happiness and sadness don't exist.
**[19:48] ---**
And ever since,
I've been living in that world too.
**[19:52] ---**
Because if I didn't,
I wouldn't be able to see her...
**[19:55] ---**
or get my revenge against him.
**[20:02] ---**
Big brother!
**[20:07] ---**
Big brother!
**[20:15] ---**
Go home, Josh. Don't come after me again.
**[20:19] ---**
Try to live a normal life.
**[20:22] ---**
Farewell, Joshua.
**[20:28] ---**
How could he...?
**[20:32] ---**
Big brother!
**[20:47] ---**
So, what is it?
**[20:49] ---**
I don't know, but it's a clue to the Claw.
**[20:52] ---**
We have to look for
someone who can examine it for us.
**[20:55] ---**
There's a town nearby,
Trinolia. Maybe there.
**[20:58] ---**
Are you the ones who got
rid of that dragon for us?
**[21:01] ---**
You saved us!
**[21:03] ---**
Now we can pass through the
mountains without having to worry.
**[21:06] ---**
Oh, that's right, what about your friend?
**[21:09] ---**
I have to thank him too.
**[21:11] ---**
I told you, he's not a friend.
**[21:13] ---**
He's already long gone.
**[21:15] ---**
Pretty unfriendly of him to
leave without even saying goodbye.
**[21:19] ---**
Lin!
**[21:20] ---**
Oh, coming!
**[21:22] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[21:24] ---**
That woman... she looks like Ms. Shino.
**[21:31] ---**
Let's go.
**[21:32] ---**
Wait a second, Van. Why so sudden?
**[21:36] ---**
Well, Joshua, sorry but
I guess we're leaving.
**[21:39] ---**
All right. Take care.
**[21:42] ---**
I swear...
**[21:43] ---**
Why do you have to
be so abrupt all the time?!
**[21:47] ---**
Oh, you're not going with them?
**[21:50] ---**
Aren't they your friends?
**[21:53] ---**
Did it look like they were?
**[21:57] ---**
Wendy!
**[22:03] ---**
I've decided to go with you.
**[22:07] ---**
I have a feeling I'll be able to see
my brother again if I'm with you two.
**[22:11] ---**
It seems like Van and him
really get along with each other.
**[22:15] ---**
You'd better not tell him that.
**[22:18] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[22:20] ---**
We need to hurry up and get someone
in Torinolia to examine this for us.
**[22:23] ---**
Right! Let's get a move on!
**[22:32] ---**
Why?
**[23:56] ---**
"Carmen Goes Home"
**[23:58] ---**
*After that, we all traveled together.*
**[24:03] ---**
*I felt like it was destiny somehow...*
**[24:07] ---**
*...since the next town we headed for
happened to be Carmen's hometown.*
**[24:12] ---**
*We were only there for a very short time...*
**[24:17] ---**
*...but we had a terrible
experience which I will never forget.*

"Carmen Goes Home"
**[01:58] ---**
They really were a strange bunch,
**[02:01] ---**
and that job I accepted
is a pain in the butt.
**[02:04] ---**
What am I gonna do?
**[02:06] ---**
I haven't heard from them in a while.
**[02:09] ---**
I wonder where they are now.
**[02:17] ---**
Hey there, I thought it was you.
**[02:20] ---**
Van! What are you doing?
**[02:22] ---**
Hitchhiking.
**[02:23] ---**
Hello, Carul!
**[02:26] ---**
Carmen 99.
**[02:28] ---**
Hello!
**[02:30] ---**
My name is Joshua!
**[02:31] ---**
My goodness. There's more of 'em.
**[02:36] ---**
I don't need this thing.
**[02:38] ---**
But they insisted that I give it to you.
**[02:42] ---**
Excuse me but we're
leaning over to one side.
**[02:44] ---**
That's because we've
got too many passengers.
**[02:46] ---**
So don't complain about the balance.
**[02:48] ---**
Hey kid, get off.
**[02:50] ---**
That's OK. I'm fine.
**[02:52] ---**
It's not OK. Get off!
**[02:54] ---**
Van! Don't be obnoxious!
**[02:59] ---**
You said your name's Joshua?
**[03:01] ---**
You're not like your brother at all.
**[03:03] ---**
I hear that a lot.
**[03:04] ---**
There's one thing you have in common.
The fact that I hate you.
**[03:07] ---**
Van!
**[03:10] ---**
So, where do you want to go?
**[03:14] ---**
Do you know a place called Trinolia?
**[03:18] ---**
I want to get an engineer there
named Findley to do a job for me.
**[03:21] ---**
I hear he's good.
**[03:22] ---**
You can just drop us off nearby.
**[03:24] ---**
Will you do it?
**[03:26] ---**
Trinolia?
**[03:29] ---**
It might be nice to go back to my hometown.
**[03:41] ---**
Here we are, Trinolia.
**[03:43] ---**
So this is where you're from.
**[03:45] ---**
Don't gawk. You're embarrassing me.
**[03:49] ---**
But...
**[03:55] ---**
it's so much brighter
and more cheerful than before.
**[03:57] ---**
Hey, Carul!
**[03:59] ---**
I thought that was you!
It's been a long time!
**[04:04] ---**
Hi.
**[04:05] ---**
You're so flashy now. No, I mean so pretty.
**[04:08] ---**
Hey, is that you Carul?
How many years has it been?
**[04:12] ---**
Six, I think.
**[04:13] ---**
Is that right? Has it
already been that long?
**[04:16] ---**
It's so great to see you.
**[04:18] ---**
What's going on? Is that Carul?
**[04:20] ---**
Oh my god.
We've missed you!
**[04:22] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[04:23] ---**
You have to go see Hayetah!
She's been worrying about you.
**[04:26] ---**
That's what I was going to do.
**[04:27] ---**
Well, see you later.
**[04:28] ---**
Yeah. Say hello to Hayetah for me!
**[04:31] ---**
See you, Carul!
**[04:36] ---**
You sure are popular, Carmen.
**[04:39] ---**
I didn't know I was myself.
**[04:40] ---**
It's incredible.
**[04:42] ---**
I can't believe this
place is your hometown!
**[04:44] ---**
The flowers are pretty too.
**[04:46] ---**
I didn't used to think so but...
**[04:48] ---**
the place sure brings
back a lot of memories.
**[04:50] ---**
So does Hayetah's house.
Oh, they've built an addition.
**[04:53] ---**
Is she a friend?
**[04:54] ---**
Since we were kids.
**[04:56] ---**
Hey, I didn't come here
to meet your friend.
**[04:59] ---**
Findley is her father.
**[05:04] ---**
He was... kind of like my teacher.
**[05:09] ---**
I feel sort of nervous.
**[05:19] ---**
Carul?
**[05:22] ---**
Hi.
**[05:28] ---**
It's been so long.
**[05:31] ---**
I thought you might never come back.
**[05:33] ---**
You left without saying anything.
**[05:36] ---**
I suppose I did.
**[05:37] ---**
So, as I was telling you,
**[05:39] ---**
we were hoping your father might be
able to help us out with something.
**[05:42] ---**
Please.
**[05:43] ---**
Can you ask him?
**[05:46] ---**
Van, what are you doing?
**[05:48] ---**
Shut up.
**[05:50] ---**
Hayetah?
**[05:52] ---**
Father's not doing well right now.
**[05:55] ---**
He's not?
**[05:57] ---**
His age is catching up with him.
**[05:59] ---**
Right now we're living off the
money I make growing flowers.
**[06:03] ---**
So then you're the one who...
**[06:05] ---**
Yes. People in town have benefited as well.
**[06:09] ---**
That's why everyone's nice to me now.
**[06:14] ---**
I see. So that's why.
**[06:16] ---**
Sorry, Carul.
**[06:18] ---**
No, that's OK. I'm the one who suddenly...
**[06:22] ---**
You can't just decide without me!
**[06:25] ---**
Uncle Findley!
**[06:28] ---**
Leaving me all alone for six years.
**[06:33] ---**
So are the things I taught you useful?
**[06:37] ---**
Yes.
**[06:38] ---**
I heard your conversation.
**[06:40] ---**
You want that thing analyzed. Right?
**[06:42] ---**
Father!
**[06:43] ---**
Don't worry!
**[06:44] ---**
It's been so long since I've had a job.
**[06:47] ---**
I could use a little excitement.
**[06:53] ---**
They're all staying over at my place.
**[06:55] ---**
Tell your father not to overdo it.
**[06:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:59] ---**
I'm sorry, Hayetah.
**[07:00] ---**
It's OK.
**[07:02] ---**
I'll make something
and bring it over tomorrow.
**[07:04] ---**
There are so many things
I want to talk to you about.
**[07:06] ---**
All right then. I'll be waiting.
**[07:11] ---**
You're a reckless driver.
**[07:13] ---**
Don't complain. You're riding for free.
**[07:38] ---**
Wow! I haven't seen this in years.
**[07:40] ---**
Carmen, is it all right if I
borrow this vacuum cleaner?
**[07:43] ---**
Sure, go ahead.
**[07:44] ---**
And this apron too?
**[07:46] ---**
I can't believe we still have that thing.
**[07:48] ---**
It's yours.
**[07:49] ---**
OK, we'll take care of the rest.
**[07:53] ---**
Ever since we got here, all you've
been doing is looking at things.
**[07:55] ---**
You can't get anything done that way.
**[07:57] ---**
I guess you're right. I'll leave it to you.
**[08:02] ---**
Going somewhere?
**[08:04] ---**
I got chased out, same as you.
**[08:07] ---**
I thought I might dig
around town for information.
**[08:09] ---**
I thought this place was your home turf?
**[08:10] ---**
It's what information brokers do.
**[08:12] ---**
Want to come along?
**[08:15] ---**
I didn't think you'd actually come.
**[08:18] ---**
I've got nothing else to do.
**[08:19] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[08:22] ---**
Hey, what are you going
to do with that kid, Joshua?
**[08:26] ---**
I'll drop him off somewhere
once Wendy's had enough of him.
**[08:29] ---**
But I guess I can let him
do what he wants for now.
**[08:32] ---**
I've noticed a subtle change in you.
**[08:35] ---**
What is it?
**[08:36] ---**
I don't know.
**[08:37] ---**
That's why it's subtle.
**[08:42] ---**
It is now past time for
elementary school students to go home.
**[08:46] ---**
This classroom looks like a storage room.
**[08:49] ---**
It is a storage room now.
**[08:51] ---**
Looks like they're having classes
in the new building over there.
**[08:54] ---**
It feels kind of desolate.
**[08:58] ---**
Hayetah and I used to sit next
to each other like this and study.
**[09:03] ---**
You've known her for a long time.
**[09:05] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:06] ---**
Our families were
alienated from the rest of town.
**[09:09] ---**
Why?
**[09:10] ---**
Because we seemed suspicious, no?
**[09:12] ---**
Scary men with their strange machines.
**[09:15] ---**
That's what it is to be
an information broker.
**[09:20] ---**
My father was Uncle Findley's partner.
**[09:24] ---**
Uncle Findley made the
tools that he used for work.
**[09:27] ---**
They really trusted each other.
**[09:29] ---**
Uncle Findley trained
me after my parents died.
**[09:32] ---**
I wonder if that's why...
**[09:34] ---**
after I left town, I ended up doing
the same type of work my father did.
**[09:44] ---**
Father, are you taking your
medicine like you're supposed to?
**[09:46] ---**
Yes.
**[09:47] ---**
You don't have to do this.
I can tell Carul for you.
**[09:51] ---**
No. I'm fine.
**[09:52] ---**
Fine?
**[09:53] ---**
I don't know why I'm doing all this
**[09:55] ---**
if you're just going to kill
yourself from trying to do too much.
**[10:08] ---**
Do you like them?
**[10:10] ---**
Does it seem that way?
**[10:12] ---**
You've been staring at them
since you brought them in yesterday.
**[10:14] ---**
Should we ask Hayetah
about how to take care of them?
**[10:19] ---**
But first let's look it up in a book.
**[10:22] ---**
We can learn more that way.
**[10:23] ---**
That's true, but...
**[10:25] ---**
Hello Ms. Hayetah!
**[10:28] ---**
Hello. Did you sleep well last night?
**[10:30] ---**
Hey there, Ms. Hayetah!
**[10:31] ---**
Wendy wants to know how to...
**[10:33] ---**
Don't mind him.
**[10:36] ---**
But this is amazing!
**[10:38] ---**
It's only been one day
and the place is so clean!
**[10:41] ---**
Thanks to them.
**[10:44] ---**
Joshua really knows how to clean things up.
**[10:48] ---**
Maybe we can call him
"Spic and Span Josh"...
**[10:50] ---**
No thanks.
**[10:52] ---**
Van didn't even lift a finger.
**[10:54] ---**
He's "Van the Man Who Sleeps All Day."
**[10:55] ---**
Yes, I can tell.
**[10:59] ---**
I baked a pie. I hope you'll all eat it.
**[11:01] ---**
You shouldn't have done that.
**[11:03] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[11:05] ---**
I'm not trying to make up for it,
**[11:07] ---**
but it looks like it's going to take
a little longer to analyze the board.
**[11:10] ---**
I'm sorry, Van.
**[11:12] ---**
It seems there's some type of
function which he's never seen before.
**[11:15] ---**
No, that's OK. Whatever
he's able to find out.
**[11:19] ---**
Say, would it be all right for me
to go there once and look around?
**[11:21] ---**
I'm into technical things.
**[11:24] ---**
Well, maybe if it was
sometime when I was there...
**[11:27] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[11:34] ---**
The secret flower garden?
**[11:36] ---**
That's right. Our secret place
that no one else knew about.
**[11:41] ---**
Everyone teased us and
we'd always go there and hide.
**[11:45] ---**
It was the only place where we
could play without having to worry.
**[11:49] ---**
Hey, why don't we...
**[11:50] ---**
I don't think that's a good idea.
**[11:53] ---**
All the plants are dead.
**[11:55] ---**
I see. A lot of things
changed while I was away.
**[12:01] ---**
But there are some things that didn't.
**[12:06] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[12:23] ---**
I wonder if it's a visitor.
**[12:26] ---**
Well you see, it's been
colder because of the rain
**[12:28] ---**
and so the flowers haven't bloomed yet.
**[12:31] ---**
I'm sure it won't be long now...
**[12:32] ---**
It's all right. I was in
too much of a hurry as well.
**[12:35] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[12:36] ---**
I have some business in
Zonnet Junction as well,
**[12:39] ---**
so I'll stop by here again in two weeks.
**[12:42] ---**
I'll leave you your compensation
and enough medicine for both of you.
**[12:46] ---**
That would be a great help.
**[12:47] ---**
In return, I'd like to at least
deliver an improved strain to Comrade.
**[12:52] ---**
You mean the Claw?
**[12:57] ---**
No. It can't be.
**[13:03] ---**
Mother, Father, don't worry.
**[13:07] ---**
I'm doing OK on my own. So...
**[13:10] ---**
Carmen!
**[13:12] ---**
What are you all worked up about?
**[13:19] ---**
That's not it.
**[13:22] ---**
The petals are...
**[13:27] ---**
I see. Is that right?
**[13:30] ---**
We need to tell Van right away!
**[13:32] ---**
Hold on!
**[13:33] ---**
First I'll try to fish
what's going on out of her.
**[13:36] ---**
But...
**[13:37] ---**
Has the woman left already?
**[13:39] ---**
Yes. On a stagecoach.
**[13:40] ---**
I wanted to put a transmitter on it,
but I didn't have a chance.
**[13:43] ---**
I want you to go home.
I'll bring Hayetah over.
**[13:47] ---**
Until then, not a word about this to Van!
**[13:58] ---**
Hey, what happened?
**[14:00] ---**
Hey!
**[14:09] ---**
Hayetah, we need to talk.
**[14:12] ---**
Hayetah?
**[14:14] ---**
Uncle Findley, do you
know where Hayetah went?
**[14:17] ---**
There's something important
I need to talk to her about.
**[14:20] ---**
Uncle Findley!
**[14:23] ---**
It's because of the flowers.
**[14:25] ---**
Flowers?
**[14:26] ---**
If a person without antibodies
inhales a certain amount of the pollen
**[14:30] ---**
it cripples the body.
**[14:33] ---**
Hayetah didn't tell the
people in town about it.
**[14:38] ---**
And even if you take antibodies,
eventually there are side affects...
**[14:43] ---**
especially for those in a
weakened physical condition like me.
**[14:47] ---**
I know because I
experimented on my own body.
**[14:50] ---**
Why?
**[14:52] ---**
She couldn't leave here.
**[14:55] ---**
This town was the only
place where she could live.
**[14:57] ---**
It was my...
**[14:59] ---**
It was both our faults that you two
had to go through so much hardship.
**[15:05] ---**
Pavlo worried about it too.
**[15:07] ---**
No...
**[15:09] ---**
She's mass producing the flowers
**[15:12] ---**
somewhere I don't know about.
**[15:15] ---**
If she grows any more,
it's going to destroy the town.
**[15:18] ---**
*Please...*
**[15:20] ---**
*destroy the flowers.*
**[15:23] ---**
*Help Hayetah for me.*
**[15:37] ---**
I knew it.
**[15:38] ---**
Welcome to the secret flower garden.
**[15:42] ---**
I was just checking up on it.
**[15:44] ---**
It's almost in full bloom.
**[15:46] ---**
Everyone's going to be happy.
**[15:50] ---**
She collapsed while she
was examining the flowers
**[15:52] ---**
and when she woke up she was like this.
**[15:54] ---**
What's wrong with her?
**[15:56] ---**
Flowers?
**[15:59] ---**
Van, what do we do?
**[16:02] ---**
Hayetah, you know what
you're doing, don't you?
**[16:06] ---**
Get rid of them.
**[16:08] ---**
Do you want to destroy our hometown?
**[16:10] ---**
It's my hometown.
**[16:12] ---**
This has nothing to do with you.
**[16:15] ---**
You abandoned this place.
**[16:17] ---**
You have no right to just come
back here and say whatever you want.
**[16:21] ---**
While you were away,
**[16:22] ---**
I slowly adapted to this
place, little by little.
**[16:27] ---**
It took six years.
**[16:30] ---**
You have no idea how
difficult it was, do you?
**[16:34] ---**
Everyone's so incredibly kind now.
**[16:37] ---**
You say, "Oh, things are different"
and think that explains everything.
**[16:42] ---**
But for me, I struggled for
years to finally get a normal life.
**[16:53] ---**
Really? The girl?
**[16:56] ---**
I'm taking the medicine. You understand?
**[16:58] ---**
-Yes.
-And another thing.
**[17:01] ---**
Tell me what you know about the Claw.
**[17:04] ---**
My daughter was the one dealing with him.
**[17:06] ---**
In that case, I'll have to ask her.
**[17:08] ---**
By all means.
**[17:11] ---**
There may be other victims as well.
**[17:14] ---**
I should have had her take responsibility,
**[17:18] ---**
but instead I asked Carul to...
**[17:21] ---**
What are you saying?
**[17:24] ---**
Sorry, I had to stop before I finished.
**[17:27] ---**
A half-baked job. You don't have to pay me.
**[17:30] ---**
Van!
**[17:32] ---**
Give her the medicine on the table!
**[17:33] ---**
Yes!
**[17:35] ---**
Listen...
**[17:37] ---**
Do me a favor, will you?
**[17:42] ---**
Hayetah...
**[17:45] ---**
I was surprised when I came back here.
**[17:48] ---**
I couldn't believe it was so beautiful.
**[17:51] ---**
Everyone was peaceful
and there were flowers.
**[17:55] ---**
I thought my hometown
was such a great place.
**[17:58] ---**
But I was wrong.
**[18:00] ---**
I was only seeing things
the way I wished they were.
**[18:03] ---**
I wanted my hometown to
be beautiful and peaceful.
**[18:07] ---**
But the truth is, this place is
exactly the same as when I left.
**[18:12] ---**
Including you, Hayetah.
**[18:17] ---**
I can finally be honest.
**[18:20] ---**
I loved you and I hated you.
**[18:24] ---**
I loved you because you were so kind,
**[18:27] ---**
but I hated you for pitying me.
**[18:30] ---**
I loved you
**[18:32] ---**
because you grieved with me
when my mother and father died.
**[18:35] ---**
But I hated you because
your father was alive.
**[18:40] ---**
I loved and hated you too.
**[18:45] ---**
I loved you because you protected me,
**[18:48] ---**
I hated you because my father admired you.
**[18:52] ---**
It's just like you said, Hayetah.
**[18:55] ---**
This place isn't a flower garden anymore.
**[18:58] ---**
Even with all these flowers here,
**[18:59] ---**
the flower that was in our hearts is dead.
**[19:24] ---**
Father! Father!
**[19:26] ---**
Hayetah.
**[19:29] ---**
Father!
**[19:33] ---**
Father, why?
**[19:35] ---**
Why don't you run away? Father!
**[19:37] ---**
Because he's taking
responsibility for what you did.
**[19:40] ---**
He said he'd rather die than be a burden.
**[19:45] ---**
He gave me the medicine.
**[19:47] ---**
He said for you to hand it
out to the people in town
**[19:49] ---**
and then live your life
however you wanted to.
**[19:56] ---**
How could he? Father?
**[20:02] ---**
Where is the Claw?
Where are they taking the flowers?
**[20:07] ---**
Tell me!
**[20:09] ---**
Stop it! Don't be rough with her!
**[20:14] ---**
She's my friend.
**[20:17] ---**
The only friend I've
ever had since I was a child.
**[20:31] ---**
If Hayetah hasn't met him either,
**[20:33] ---**
then the only clue we have about
the Claw is what's inside this board.
**[20:39] ---**
And thanks to Mr. Findley, it looks like
the protection device has been removed.
**[20:42] ---**
What does it contain?
**[20:43] ---**
Well, that's still not clear.
**[20:45] ---**
In that case, I'll go on ahead to
Zonnet Junction and have it analyzed.
**[20:49] ---**
I'll see to it that it's
finished by the time you get there.
**[20:52] ---**
Please.
**[20:53] ---**
But what about money?
**[20:55] ---**
You can pay me later
**[20:56] ---**
since I'm looking for the
woman Hayetah met as well.
**[21:00] ---**
So, I wonder how we
should get to Zonnet Junction.
**[21:04] ---**
There's a train that leaves
from the town of Meuuniere.
**[21:08] ---**
A train.
**[21:09] ---**
These people come here
and mess everything up.
**[21:12] ---**
Scaring the old man into
thinking the flowers are poisonous.
**[21:15] ---**
How are we supposed to
make a living from now on?
**[21:18] ---**
But we're still OK.
**[21:21] ---**
What about Hayetah?
**[21:22] ---**
On top of everything else,
she lost her father.
**[21:25] ---**
Some friend she is.
**[21:29] ---**
She's bad news.
**[21:31] ---**
I swear.
**[21:32] ---**
It's all right. I'll go on ahead.
**[21:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[23:56] ---**
"Thank You Ocean"
**[23:58] ---**
*This is just a maybe, but
out of all the people*
**[24:00] ---**
*we've met up until now,
if there was anyone*
**[24:04] ---**
*who was stronger than Van,
it's probably Kaiji.*
**[24:08] ---**
*Kaiji was like the ocean...*
**[24:11] ---**
*...strong and gentle, with
something unfathomable about him.*
**[24:15] ---**
*He was the epitome of style.*
**[24:18] ---**
*Well, that's a bit of an overstatement.*
**[24:20] ---**

*The wind blows down
the wound covered dream.*
**[01:40] ---**
*The storm of desire blows
away the bit of happiness.*
**[01:45] ---**
*The planet Endless Illusion
which is, after all...*
**[01:49] ---**
*the gathering spot for
the dregs of outer-space.*

*If you wait long enough,
will the wounded heart heal?*

*Will the untainted wish come true?*

which no light can reach...*

"Thank You Ocean"
**[02:16] ---**
Meuuniere's sure got a lot of water.
**[02:18] ---**
They say the ground
suddenly sank a long time ago.
**[02:21] ---**
And there are ships everywhere.
**[02:23] ---**
Yeah. They're used for salvaging things.
**[02:27] ---**
And they must need the trains to sell off
**[02:29] ---**
the valuables and junk to other places.
**[02:33] ---**
I got the tickets.
**[02:34] ---**
What took you so long?!
**[02:35] ---**
Don't talk to him like that.
**[02:37] ---**
Especially after he went through
the trouble of getting them for us.
**[02:40] ---**
While we're here waiting,
the Claw's getting away from us.
**[02:43] ---**
That's right.
**[02:45] ---**
I wanted to ask you about him... the Claw.
**[02:49] ---**
The things he's been doing, like building
that Armor with the automated pilot
**[02:53] ---**
and kidnapping Wendy's brother.
**[02:55] ---**
What on earth do you think he's planning?
**[02:58] ---**
I don't care.
**[03:01] ---**
Where are you going?
The platform isn't over there.
**[03:04] ---**
I gotta pee.
**[03:08] ---**
What is he planning to do?
**[03:11] ---**
Hey man...
**[03:12] ---**
you see any toilet paper out there?
**[03:19] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:21] ---**
You should check before you go in.
**[03:24] ---**
I like the thrill.
**[03:26] ---**
Take care of yourself.
**[03:31] ---**
Hey! The train's leaving!
**[03:33] ---**
That's a freight train.
**[03:35] ---**
We're on the next one.
**[03:38] ---**
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
**[03:53] ---**
Most excellent.
**[03:55] ---**
What do you mean the trains aren't running?
**[03:57] ---**
Like I said, all trains have been stopped
**[03:59] ---**
until they're sure it's safe.
**[04:01] ---**
Well, when will they start up again?
**[04:03] ---**
I'm sorry. They're investigating right now.
**[04:05] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
**[04:08] ---**
What do you want to do, Van?
**[04:10] ---**
Let's see... how else can we get to Zonnet?
**[04:12] ---**
Should I try and get a boat?
**[04:14] ---**
Guess we don't have much choice.
**[04:15] ---**
But are there any passenger ships?
**[04:19] ---**
Hey, Van.
**[04:22] ---**
What if we rode Dann there?
**[04:24] ---**
Armor's not a car or a motorcycle.
**[04:27] ---**
Armor?
**[04:29] ---**
Even I can't ride it for too long.
Forget about it.
**[04:31] ---**
I see.
**[04:32] ---**
Speaking of which, how does
your Armor come down from the sky?
**[04:37] ---**
Well, even I'm not altogether sure.
**[04:39] ---**
You don't know?
**[04:41] ---**
Hey, are you an Armor rider?
**[04:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:47] ---**
You seem pretty strong.
**[04:48] ---**
How about it, will you marry me?
**[04:52] ---**
That's very kind of you, but Van
already has someone he likes!
**[04:56] ---**
Is that right?
**[04:58] ---**
Yes.
**[04:59] ---**
Oh, that's too bad.
**[05:00] ---**
Excuse me, but who are you?
**[05:04] ---**
President of the Meuuniere
Salvage Union, Vivian.
**[05:09] ---**
So you're that "Van, the Man Who
Rubbed Out A Hundred People"?
**[05:13] ---**
No. He's "Van, the Man Who Sleeps All Day."
**[05:16] ---**
Anyway, I'm Van.
**[05:18] ---**
So, what do you want?
**[05:19] ---**
We salvage treasure ourselves
**[05:22] ---**
and search for
designated items under request.
**[05:25] ---**
But recently pirates have
been interfering with our work.
**[05:29] ---**
They're the ones who
probably blew up the train.
**[05:32] ---**
They tell us we can't
just take things from the sea
**[05:35] ---**
and they attack without warning.
**[05:37] ---**
What's more, they're gone before
we even know what's happened.
**[05:39] ---**
I see. So that's why you need me?
**[05:44] ---**
Everyone, I've brought the Armor rider.
**[05:47] ---**
The guy sitting on the left
is the Deputy Director, Zanuck.
**[05:49] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[05:51] ---**
This is amazing!
**[05:52] ---**
What kind of control system do you use?
**[05:54] ---**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[05:56] ---**
Tomorrow the whole union's
taking part in a big salvage operation.
**[06:02] ---**
This is the actual thing.
**[06:03] ---**
A relic that was excavated
from point 4-L2 in the former city.
**[06:07] ---**
It's over 50.
**[06:08] ---**
That's right. It's big.
**[06:10] ---**
We managed to drag it close somehow.
**[06:12] ---**
But raising it is going to
be even more difficult.
**[06:14] ---**
I can feel the excitement.
**[06:16] ---**
So can I.
**[06:17] ---**
That's because the
pirates may try to interfere,
**[06:21] ---**
like they did a little while ago.
**[06:24] ---**
If we mess this up, the union
will be completely discredited.
**[06:27] ---**
Our client is the Historical
Sanctuary Exploration Agency.
**[06:30] ---**
There's a breach of contract
penalty that would be the end of us.
**[06:33] ---**
It'd mean a lot of trouble for us too.
**[06:35] ---**
And so we want you to stand guard
**[06:37] ---**
during the salvage operation
and while we transport the thing.
**[06:40] ---**
It all depends on how
much you're willing to pay.
**[06:42] ---**
What would you say if, on top of a million,
**[06:44] ---**
I threw in some complimentary
special express tickets to Zonnet?
**[06:48] ---**
As soon as we raise the relic
**[06:50] ---**
they'll send it to Zonnet on a
special express that's given top priority.
**[06:54] ---**
I can arrange for you to be on it.
**[06:57] ---**
You want to get to Zonnet soon, don't you?
**[06:59] ---**
Let's do it!
**[07:00] ---**
It's not your decision!
**[07:02] ---**
But you'll do it, won't you?
**[07:04] ---**
I think those are pretty good terms.
**[07:07] ---**
So are you all a team?
**[07:10] ---**
Yes.
No. They're just tagging along with me.
**[07:13] ---**
Please put us to work too.
**[07:15] ---**
We'll help out however you want us to.
**[07:18] ---**
Well, all right then.
**[07:22] ---**
Hey! Chop chop. On the double!
**[07:25] ---**
Yes sir.
**[07:26] ---**
Put your body into it!
**[07:27] ---**
Yes sir!
**[07:28] ---**
Hey, Miss, bring me a large pasta.
**[07:32] ---**
Coming!
**[07:33] ---**
Say, what's taking so long?
**[07:35] ---**
Right away.
**[07:50] ---**
Isn't there something else I can do?
**[07:55] ---**
Girl.
**[07:56] ---**
Yes?
**[07:58] ---**
The ocean doesn't answer to such sad faces.
**[08:04] ---**
The ocean is big.
**[08:06] ---**
It can wrap itself around
a girl's troubles.
**[08:09] ---**
So don't worry, and dive
into your potential.
**[08:14] ---**
Excuse me, who are you?
**[08:18] ---**
Captain Kaiji.
**[08:20] ---**
Boss. I'm here to escort you.
**[08:23] ---**
OK. Bye now, girl.
**[08:29] ---**
Then tomorrow you'll carry out the
salvage operation for us as planned.
**[08:33] ---**
Yes. The union's reputation
is riding on it.
**[08:35] ---**
Very good.
**[08:36] ---**
And please see to it
that it's transported as well.
**[08:39] ---**
Yes.
**[08:39] ---**
We'll make sure that its
delivered to Zonnet.
**[08:42] ---**
Zonnet...
**[08:45] ---**
I wonder if Carmen's making progress
getting that computer board analyzed.
**[08:50] ---**
You said you'd finish by today!
**[08:52] ---**
But that board you brought,
I couldn't find that make anywhere.
**[08:57] ---**
I need a little more time.
**[09:00] ---**
But whoever removed the protection device
**[09:02] ---**
really knew what they were doing.
**[09:04] ---**
Why don't you ask them to do it?
**[09:06] ---**
I told you, I can't.
**[09:08] ---**
Fine. I'll wait.
**[09:10] ---**
But in return I want you to
check this thing out for me too.
**[09:12] ---**
An ornament?
**[09:13] ---**
I don't think so.
**[09:14] ---**
Then, what is it?
**[09:17] ---**
I don't know.
**[09:21] ---**
Attachment of starboard wire to target.
**[09:23] ---**
Complete.
**[09:24] ---**
Likewise, port side, complete.
**[09:26] ---**
Divers have surfaced too.
We're ready to go.
**[09:29] ---**
No pirates?
**[09:30] ---**
No sign of any ships at sea.
**[09:32] ---**
They must be targeting the train, no?
**[09:34] ---**
Vivian, let's hurry up and
finish and go for a drink!
**[09:38] ---**
OK.
**[09:40] ---**
Zanuck, how are you doing over there?
**[09:41] ---**
Ready to go any time.
**[09:43] ---**
OK. Get started.
**[09:45] ---**
Right.
**[10:12] ---**
What is it?
**[10:13] ---**
That's what we're going to find out.
**[10:15] ---**
Hurry up and get it on dry ground.
**[10:16] ---**
I know.
**[10:19] ---**
Deputy Director, the
train is OK to take it.
**[10:21] ---**
Are you ready to send it over?
**[10:23] ---**
Yeah. I'm moving it sideways,
**[10:25] ---**
so make sure it's level with the train.
**[10:28] ---**
Excuse me, Mr. Zanuck...
**[10:30] ---**
Shut up.
**[10:31] ---**
I think something bad is about to happen.
**[10:32] ---**
Go clean something, why don't you!
**[10:34] ---**
There's something on the water!
**[10:36] ---**
A pirate ship?
**[10:37] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[10:41] ---**
Vivian, do you have any idea?
**[10:43] ---**
Driftwood? No. That's not it.
**[10:50] ---**
The ocean is supreme.
**[10:54] ---**
Big, wild, salty.
**[10:57] ---**
Land is useless.
**[10:58] ---**
For Kaiji, it's nonsense.
**[11:02] ---**
OK, brother. Rock 'n' Roll!
**[11:05] ---**
Fire the Rock 'n' Roll
anti-aircraft missile.
**[11:08] ---**
Fire.
**[11:15] ---**
What is it?
**[11:17] ---**
Starboard crane's been hit.
**[11:18] ---**
Target has fallen into the water.
**[11:20] ---**
A submarine signal?
**[11:22] ---**
Hey, Vivian! They were underwater!
**[11:26] ---**
Gather the ships! Support the crane!
**[11:29] ---**
Roger!
**[11:30] ---**
You catch that idiot!
**[11:32] ---**
Roger.
**[11:39] ---**
Smoke on the water.
**[11:43] ---**
Smoke on the water.
**[11:44] ---**
Release the GKT.
**[11:46] ---**
Boss, please return.
**[11:58] ---**
The sea's frozen over?
**[12:00] ---**
Could the pirates be trying to
steal it from underneath the ice?
**[12:04] ---**
But then there's nothing
we can do about it!
**[12:07] ---**
Well, I guess there
really is no such thing as...
**[12:11] ---**
an easy job.
**[12:23] ---**
It's thicker than I thought.
**[12:26] ---**
I'll take care of the pirates.
You all pull that big thing up.
**[12:30] ---**
All right. We're counting on you!
**[12:39] ---**
This is how Kaiji sees it.
**[12:40] ---**
No one owns the ocean.
**[12:44] ---**
Confirm target.
**[12:45] ---**
Confirmed.
**[12:46] ---**
Which means, conversely,
that anyone can have it.
**[12:50] ---**
Fire the tow wire.
**[12:52] ---**
Firing.
**[12:53] ---**
Which means, what?
**[12:55] ---**
If Kaiji tries hard, he can
have it all to himself.
**[12:58] ---**
All right?
**[13:00] ---**
You said it, boss!
**[13:02] ---**
Thank you.
**[13:06] ---**
Well, shall we give it a tug and see?
**[13:19] ---**
Damn them!
**[13:21] ---**
The relic!
**[13:22] ---**
Please, get the relic back!
**[13:25] ---**
Well, first I need to go underwater.
**[13:35] ---**
Damn. It's hard to move.
**[13:41] ---**
Gather all the explosives
from around the port!
**[13:43] ---**
First things first. Let's
break through the ice!
**[13:44] ---**
Got it.
**[13:45] ---**
Vivian!
**[13:46] ---**
Stand back, young lady!
**[13:48] ---**
I don't have time for you right now.
**[13:50] ---**
Please stop treating me like a child!
**[13:55] ---**
Nothing beats being underwater.
**[13:57] ---**
If you had to put it into words,
it feels like freedom.
**[13:59] ---**
Like tearing off one's chains.
**[14:03] ---**
What's that echo coming
from outside the ship?
**[14:05] ---**
The wire...
**[14:07] ---**
The tow wire appears to have been severed!
**[14:09] ---**
What?
Returning engine to normal rotation!
**[14:11] ---**
Enemy search!
**[14:12] ---**
Aye sir. Issuing ping.
**[14:16] ---**
What's that?
**[14:17] ---**
It's not clear, but it's
interfered with our activities,
**[14:19] ---**
so I think we should
consider it to be an enemy.
**[14:22] ---**
That's how it always is for Kaiji.
**[14:25] ---**
He tries to do something
and he makes enemies.
**[14:29] ---**
That's how it was when
we came to this town too.
**[14:32] ---**
They beat us, and kicked us,
and made fun of us.
**[14:37] ---**
But...
**[14:38] ---**
no one's ever looked down on us
**[14:40] ---**
because we always struck back.
**[14:44] ---**
That's Kaiji for you.
**[14:45] ---**
That's Kaiji's way.
**[14:48] ---**
Are you happy?
**[14:49] ---**
We're happy!
**[14:51] ---**
That's great.
**[14:52] ---**
Number one torpedo tube, F-I.
**[14:54] ---**
Number two, T-S.
**[14:55] ---**
Fire torpedoes.
**[14:56] ---**
Firing.
**[15:01] ---**
What a lame attack!
**[15:06] ---**
It's really hard to move.
**[15:09] ---**
Who do you think I am?
You can't hit me twice!
**[15:14] ---**
What?
**[15:16] ---**
Hey, don't run away!
**[15:18] ---**
I can't see you, but can you hear me?
**[15:23] ---**
Signal, confirmed. Distance, 400.
**[15:26] ---**
Complete safety in these
waters has been secured.
**[15:28] ---**
Kaiji doesn't let people get away.
**[15:30] ---**
Sorry, but that's how it is.
**[15:35] ---**
Hey, not again?
**[15:43] ---**
Bastards.
**[15:44] ---**
In any case, we need to
break through the ice, right?
**[15:46] ---**
Yeah. We'll make holes
in the ice, one by one.
**[15:51] ---**
It's gonna take time.
**[15:52] ---**
Then we'll pack the holes with explosives.
**[15:54] ---**
It's gonna take forever to do that.
**[15:56] ---**
What happens if they
take it in the meantime?
**[15:59] ---**
Well...
**[16:00] ---**
Sorry but...
**[16:02] ---**
all those ships are in
the ice right now, aren't they?
**[16:08] ---**
They're arranged in a circle
centered around the crane.
**[16:11] ---**
If we load the explosives inside and
then blow them all up at the same time
**[16:15] ---**
the ice will crack!
**[16:17] ---**
How do you get them to
blow up at the same time?
**[16:19] ---**
I'll make a triggering device.
**[16:22] ---**
You will?
**[16:23] ---**
It's easier than cleaning.
**[16:26] ---**
Well, should we give it a shot?
**[16:29] ---**
We'll need the approval of the ship owners.
**[16:31] ---**
At least I'm OK with it.
**[16:33] ---**
As the union president,
I'll convince the other owners.
**[16:42] ---**
Target is no longer responding.
**[16:44] ---**
The torpedo must have
seriously damaged it...
**[16:47] ---**
Thanks.
**[16:49] ---**
All your firing allowed
me to locate where you were.
**[16:52] ---**
Now I'm gonna make
you pay for hurting Dann.
**[16:56] ---**
Target appears to have
torn off the outer skin
**[16:58] ---**
which the signal was
attached to and used it as a decoy.
**[17:00] ---**
He's pretty good.
**[17:02] ---**
You're not getting away from me again.
**[17:12] ---**
Rapid dive.
Rapid dive.
**[17:23] ---**
Hurry! We have to break
through the ice before they steal it.
**[17:40] ---**
Is this thing really going to
explode like it's supposed to?
**[17:43] ---**
It's 90 percent perfect.
**[17:45] ---**
90?
**[17:49] ---**
Depth limit reached. Dump target.
**[17:52] ---**
Dumping target.
**[17:58] ---**
Rapid surface!
**[18:04] ---**
Target has stopped!
**[18:06] ---**
What?
**[18:11] ---**
This is bad. I might be crushed.
**[18:14] ---**
And I've burned a lot of fuel.
**[18:16] ---**
I've only got enough left
to get back to the surface.
**[18:19] ---**
Doesn't leave me much choice.
**[18:25] ---**
Target making rapid surface.
**[18:28] ---**
Very good.
**[18:31] ---**
I can't see anything.
**[18:33] ---**
Wasn't there supposed
to be a radar on this thing?
**[18:37] ---**
Yes, I know it well.
**[18:39] ---**
Only those who struggle after
they've been knocked down or sunk survive.
**[18:44] ---**
That's the Kaiji way.
**[18:48] ---**
Perhaps this guy is a bit like me.
**[18:50] ---**
But...
**[18:51] ---**
Yes! We don't need any other
heroes in this ocean except for our Boss!
**[18:56] ---**
Prepare to launch all the torpedoes.
**[18:57] ---**
Send him down into the crushing depths.
**[19:00] ---**
Opening rear torpedo tube.
**[19:02] ---**
OK.
**[19:03] ---**
Shall we make this our last number?
**[19:05] ---**
Confirm enemy position! Issue ping!
**[19:14] ---**
There's been an accident.
**[19:16] ---**
We'll confirm the situation
after surfacing!
**[19:18] ---**
Boss, please take a seat!
**[19:19] ---**
We did it!
**[19:21] ---**
OK! Set the crane back
up and check the current!
**[19:24] ---**
Van? Where's Van?
**[19:26] ---**
Rapid surface!
Main tank blow!
**[19:28] ---**
We found an obstacle.
We've lost the target.
**[19:30] ---**
Can we get a distinct echo for it?
**[19:32] ---**
Aye Sir. Issuing ping!
**[19:36] ---**
It can't be!
**[19:38] ---**
Where is he?
**[19:39] ---**
Right under us!
**[19:40] ---**
What?
**[19:44] ---**
I can tell exactly where you are
with the ocean's surface behind you!
**[19:48] ---**
Your little dip in the ocean is over now!
**[20:00] ---**
I give up.
**[20:03] ---**
You win.
**[20:19] ---**
Hey, what did you say your name was?
**[20:21] ---**
I'm Joshua Lundgren.
**[20:23] ---**
Thanks.
**[20:24] ---**
We couldn't have done it without you guys.
**[20:26] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[20:28] ---**
Don't let it go to your head.
**[20:29] ---**
I have to thank the young lady too.
**[20:32] ---**
Where did she go?
**[20:39] ---**
Welcome back!
**[20:41] ---**
Girl, that smile.
**[20:44] ---**
It's the smile of someone
who's OK with who they are.
**[20:48] ---**
It's dazzling.
**[20:51] ---**
Don't forget it, girl. Bye.
**[20:53] ---**
Girl, bye.
**[20:55] ---**
Girl...
Bye...
**[21:05] ---**
Hey.
**[21:07] ---**
Welcome back.
**[21:08] ---**
Thanks. Who were those guys?
**[21:12] ---**
Do you know them?
**[21:13] ---**
Well, sort of.
**[21:15] ---**
Wendy! I got 'em.
**[21:18] ---**
Our reward money and the tickets!
**[21:20] ---**
The special train from
Meuuniere will be arriving
**[21:23] ---**
at platform 10 momentarily.
**[21:25] ---**
Due to the confusion
in the railway schedule
**[21:27] ---**
regularly scheduled trains will
now be arriving this evening.
**[21:30] ---**
I wonder if something happened.
**[21:31] ---**
Please check at the information\tNboard
for detailed information.
**[21:35] ---**
Furthermore, because the special
train is using a double-track line
**[21:38] ---**
it is has a unique configuration.
**[21:40] ---**
Those waiting for the freight train
please go to platform number eight.
**[21:43] ---**
I repeat. Because the special train...
**[21:52] ---**
Zonnet Junction. Zonnet Junction.
**[21:55] ---**
For those transferring, please check
the information boards for each line.
**[21:58] ---**
What do we do now?
**[22:00] ---**
In any case, we need to find her.
**[22:03] ---**
You and Carmen didn't
figure out a meeting place?
**[22:06] ---**
No, I guess not. What should we do?
**[22:10] ---**
Well, we'll think of something.
**[22:12] ---**
Don't you know where she's staying?
**[22:14] ---**
She's camping out in the open, no?
**[22:15] ---**
Camping out? Very funny.
**[22:32] ---**
Big brother!
**[23:56] ---**
"Where the Goodbyes Are"
**[23:58] ---**
*A junction is a place where two roads meet.*
**[24:03] ---**
*But at that time, I didn't
understand what it meant.*
**[24:07] ---**
*My mind was filled with sudden surprises*
**[24:11] ---**
*and things I had to think about.*
**[24:15] ---**
*That's right.*
**[24:17] ---**
*When I was standing at the junction...*
**[24:19] ---**
*...I was still very much a child.*

the wound covered dream.*
**[01:40] ---**
*The storm of desire blows
away the bit of happiness.*
**[01:44] ---**
*The planet Endless Illusion
which is, after all...*

"Where the Goodbyes Are"
**[02:12] ---**
A train is arriving on track five.
**[02:14] ---**
Please stand back and
wait behind the yellow line.
**[02:17] ---**
Continuing, the train arriving on track
eight is operating under a special service.
**[02:22] ---**
Big brother...
**[02:22] ---**
Ordinary passengers cannot
ride on it, so please be careful.
**[02:28] ---**
Wendy.
**[02:30] ---**
Big brother... big brother!
**[02:36] ---**
Hey, Wendy!
**[02:39] ---**
It's him.
**[02:41] ---**
Van! Did she get hit?
**[02:43] ---**
No. She went over there.
**[02:49] ---**
Contacting personnel.
**[02:51] ---**
The special freight
from Meuuniere has arrived.
**[02:54] ---**
Will the official in charge please
verify that the goods have been received.
**[02:58] ---**
After verification, the freight will be sent
to an underground storage yard.
**[03:00] ---**
Van...
**[03:03] ---**
I repeat, contacting personnel...
**[03:03] ---**
What are we going to do about Wendy?
**[03:05] ---**
I want you to...
**[03:08] ---**
What should we do?
**[03:10] ---**
What are we going to do?
**[03:21] ---**
So, what time is it arriving?
**[03:24] ---**
Well, the special train just arrived.
**[03:27] ---**
So I don't think the regularly
scheduled passenger train
**[03:29] ---**
from Meuuniere will be
getting here until after 6pm.
**[03:32] ---**
Then maybe I'll pick up that thing first.
**[03:35] ---**
Thanks.
**[03:37] ---**
Big brother! Wait!
**[03:40] ---**
It's you, isn't it?
**[03:52] ---**
Wendy.
**[03:54] ---**
Big brother.
**[03:56] ---**
Big brother.
**[03:59] ---**
Thank goodness you're all right.
**[04:02] ---**
Wendy, why did you come here?
**[04:07] ---**
Brother Michael?
**[04:09] ---**
Why did you leave town?
And why were you with that guy?
**[04:13] ---**
Why didn't you keep the
promise you made to me?
**[04:15] ---**
Why?
**[04:17] ---**
Because I was trying to rescue you!
**[04:21] ---**
So then you probably
missed it because you were away.
**[04:25] ---**
What?
**[04:26] ---**
I sent a letter telling
you not to worry about me.
**[04:29] ---**
I thought you were in Evergreen.
**[04:32] ---**
You did?
**[04:33] ---**
Yeah. I'm sorry I yelled at you.
**[04:38] ---**
Guess I should have asked Mr. Lutz
to give you the message after all.
**[04:41] ---**
It's your gun.
**[04:44] ---**
I borrowed it.
**[04:48] ---**
I don't know why, but I
really missed this thing.
**[04:51] ---**
Thanks.
**[04:52] ---**
This gun helped keep my spirits up.
**[04:55] ---**
I thought of this gun as a
sign that you were with me,
**[04:56] ---**
and it gave me the
strength to get this far.
**[04:59] ---**
Part of our home is still there.
**[05:02] ---**
The garden and Kameo's swing
were destroyed in the fire, but the...
**[05:05] ---**
Oh, and my room was too. But...
**[05:09] ---**
Wendy, thanks, but I
don't need to hear any more.
**[05:13] ---**
I'm never going back to Evergreen.
**[05:25] ---**
She wasn't in there either.
**[05:26] ---**
Where else would a woman
run off to in such a hurry?
**[05:31] ---**
Now that you mention it,
she said something.
**[05:33] ---**
Did you hear?
**[05:35] ---**
Yes. She screamed something.
**[05:39] ---**
Should we split up and look for her?
**[05:41] ---**
You ask the station officials.
I'm putting you in charge of that.
**[05:46] ---**
Oh, yes sir. Leave it to me!
**[05:47] ---**
I'll look around accordingly.
**[05:50] ---**
What should we do about Wendy's suitcase?
**[05:52] ---**
You're in charge of that.
**[05:53] ---**
Yes sir! And getting in touch with Carmen?
**[05:55] ---**
You're in charge of that.
**[05:56] ---**
Yes sir! Leave everything to me!
**[05:58] ---**
Oh, you there.
**[05:59] ---**
Yes?
**[06:00] ---**
Are you the one who's been prowling
around the women's bathrooms?
**[06:03] ---**
Yes, that's me.
**[06:06] ---**
Is it really just a decoration?
**[06:09] ---**
That technician wasn't as
good as he was made out to be.
**[06:12] ---**
But I should be happy that I was able
to find out something about this thing.
**[06:17] ---**
I'm such a good girl!
**[06:20] ---**
What a dreadful woman that lady was,
**[06:23] ---**
asking me to do everything for free.
**[06:25] ---**
Here you go. Thanks for waiting.
**[06:27] ---**
I checked everything out.
**[06:30] ---**
I had a little trouble
getting the parts, but...
**[06:33] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[06:35] ---**
Well then, here's the money I promised.
**[06:37] ---**
Oh, no, it's my pleasure.
**[06:39] ---**
I wish all my customers were
as good as you are about paying.
**[06:44] ---**
There are people who aren't?
**[06:47] ---**
It's like that with this type of job.
**[06:49] ---**
The woman I was just talking about,
all she did was complain.
**[06:52] ---**
And she only paid me a
third of what we agreed to.
**[06:54] ---**
How awful.
**[06:55] ---**
It's all right.
**[06:57] ---**
As long as I have customers
like you I'll have money to spare.
**[07:01] ---**
Say, what's this memo?
**[07:03] ---**
A copy of the notes from that
stingy woman's computer board
**[07:05] ---**
I was looking at.
**[07:25] ---**
You're late.
**[07:26] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[07:28] ---**
I never expected pirates to show up.
**[07:29] ---**
Security is a real problem.
**[07:32] ---**
Well, in the worst case, I could
have asked them to take care of it.
**[07:36] ---**
At last, it's finally here?
**[07:39] ---**
Hey you! Don't touch the exterior yet...
**[07:42] ---**
Mr. Gadved?
**[07:46] ---**
You wait.
**[07:48] ---**
I'm putting together the
best riders for you.
**[07:52] ---**
She was about this tall and had pigtails.
**[07:54] ---**
She seems willful at first,
**[07:56] ---**
but she's pretty in a way
that befits someone her age.
**[07:58] ---**
Are you truly reflecting
on what you've done?
**[08:00] ---**
Yes. So, this is about the girl...
But she has a turtle with her.
**[08:04] ---**
Oh, his name is Kameo.
**[08:06] ---**
She named him when
she was just a little girl,
**[08:08] ---**
so she didn't put much thought into it.
**[08:09] ---**
Joshua?
**[08:12] ---**
Carmen!
**[08:13] ---**
But I thought you were
getting in this evening.
**[08:16] ---**
We got special preference.
So we arrived this morning.
**[08:18] ---**
Oh, really?
**[08:19] ---**
Are you his guardian?
**[08:21] ---**
Well, not exactly...
**[08:23] ---**
Whatever.
**[08:24] ---**
Please just take him away, will you?
**[08:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:27] ---**
Say, did they arrest Van and Wendy too?
**[08:29] ---**
No, but...
**[08:33] ---**
You're not coming back?
**[08:34] ---**
Why would you say something like that?
**[08:37] ---**
Was it him?
**[08:38] ---**
Did the Claw say something to you?
**[08:40] ---**
Something despicable, like he'd
kill you if you tried to run away?
**[08:43] ---**
You can't listen to the things
someone evil like that tells you...
**[08:45] ---**
Wendy!
**[08:48] ---**
Please don't talk about Comrade like that.
**[08:51] ---**
He's a great man.
**[08:54] ---**
Great?
**[08:56] ---**
Even though he's the one who took you?
**[08:58] ---**
That may be true.
**[09:00] ---**
But things are different now.
**[09:02] ---**
I'm here because I want to be.
**[09:06] ---**
I don't understand at all.
**[09:12] ---**
He's with you, just like
he's supposed to be.
**[09:15] ---**
Do you remember that day?
**[09:18] ---**
Yes.
**[09:24] ---**
It's here, Wendy!
**[09:25] ---**
The good luck charm
everyone was talking about.
**[09:27] ---**
Look!
**[09:30] ---**
It's a turtle, isn't it?
**[09:34] ---**
They say it's a rare type of turtle
you can only find around here.
**[09:38] ---**
But they may not have much longer.
**[09:40] ---**
This area's drying up too.
**[09:42] ---**
It's kind of sad, isn't it?
**[09:44] ---**
Yeah. So take it.
**[09:46] ---**
He'll protect you.
**[09:48] ---**
The turtle?
**[09:50] ---**
You're not going to protect me anymore?
**[09:54] ---**
Don't be silly.
**[09:55] ---**
I'll always be there protecting you too.
**[10:01] ---**
Back then, your happiness
is what gave my life meaning.
**[10:06] ---**
But...
**[10:10] ---**
It's different now.
**[10:14] ---**
I was able to find meaning in my own life.
**[10:18] ---**
I found it after I met him... Comrade.
**[10:22] ---**
I want you to understand, Wendy.
**[10:25] ---**
This girl Wendy, she
looks kind of like this.
**[10:29] ---**
Have you seen her?
**[10:31] ---**
I don't think so.
**[10:32] ---**
Really? Sorry to bother you.
**[10:38] ---**
Where the hell could she be?
**[10:41] ---**
Watch where you're going, you idiot!
**[10:45] ---**
You?
**[10:48] ---**
Now listen here,
**[10:49] ---**
when you bump into
someone you have to apologize.
**[10:56] ---**
Hey now, what's the matter?
**[10:58] ---**
What are you crying about?
**[11:00] ---**
Oh, I give up.
**[11:07] ---**
There's only one thing for the person
who makes my sister cry: death!
**[11:10] ---**
Mellisa didn't do anything wrong.
I'm the one who ran into you!
**[11:13] ---**
Well then, apologize!
**[11:16] ---**
Don't cry, Mellisa.
**[11:27] ---**
Hey, what about my apology?
**[11:29] ---**
What are you two doing here?
**[11:32] ---**
He'll give us a hard time
again if we're late.
**[11:34] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[11:36] ---**
Are you their guardian?
**[11:38] ---**
I just want him to give me an apology.
**[11:41] ---**
A brave soldier such as yourself
shouldn't utter such cheap phrases.
**[11:45] ---**
That miraculous sword
must be ashamed of you.
**[11:50] ---**
How did you know?
**[11:52] ---**
You've had it wrong from the start.
**[11:55] ---**
I am not a guardian and
these two have no use for one.
**[12:00] ---**
Excuse me.
**[12:25] ---**
This is crazy...
**[12:28] ---**
What do you mean your life's meaning?
**[12:31] ---**
How could that man teach you anything?
**[12:33] ---**
He's just a murdering kidnapper, isn't he?
**[12:40] ---**
Wendy, the meaning of my
life has nothing to do with you.
**[12:46] ---**
I know what Comrade did.
**[12:48] ---**
But even so, I'm going with him.
**[12:51] ---**
It's OK. It's what I want to do.
**[12:54] ---**
Michael, how could you
have changed like this?
**[12:58] ---**
You've changed too.
**[13:01] ---**
The Wendy I once knew never would
have disobeyed me and come to this place.
**[13:04] ---**
But that's because...
**[13:06] ---**
We both changed. It was bound to happen.
**[13:10] ---**
I don't get it. What are you saying?
**[13:14] ---**
I'm saying you don't
need this thing anymore.
**[13:21] ---**
Michael.
**[13:22] ---**
Wendy, go find your own gun.
**[13:27] ---**
Your attention please.
**[13:29] ---**
We have an announcement
for Ms. Wendy Garret.
**[13:31] ---**
Please come to the
central plaza on level four.
**[13:34] ---**
Your companion,
Ms. Carul Mendosa is waiting for you.
**[13:37] ---**
I repeat. Your attention please...
**[13:40] ---**
What's the matter? Aren't you going?
**[13:44] ---**
But...
**[13:45] ---**
I say this for your own benefit.
**[13:48] ---**
Go back to Evergreen and
live there quietly in peace.
**[13:51] ---**
That suits you.
**[13:53] ---**
And don't come looking for me ever again.
**[14:07] ---**
Where the heck is the central plaza?
**[14:12] ---**
Damage caused by its fall from orbit,
**[14:14] ---**
as well as corrosion due to
the seawater, are negligible.
**[14:18] ---**
Even after more than a hundred years.
**[14:20] ---**
That's right, just as you'd expect.
**[14:22] ---**
But what caused the
accident in the first place?
**[14:25] ---**
It seems they tried to use this
thing's abilities back then and failed.
**[14:29] ---**
They probably panicked
because there was a break
**[14:32] ---**
in communications with the other side.
**[14:34] ---**
The fools.
**[14:37] ---**
Still, I'm surprised Zonnet
is letting us use this place.
**[14:41] ---**
Looks like they made a pretty
big pay off to the RWC.
**[14:44] ---**
They're providing them
with a hover base as well.
**[14:46] ---**
We've had to rush
things since we can't use
**[14:48] ---**
the Baron's Metal Guru anymore.
**[14:50] ---**
But if we can use this place
just until we get it restarted...
**[14:52] ---**
That works fine.
**[14:53] ---**
We'll be completing the repairs after
we return to headquarters anyway.
**[14:58] ---**
Now all we need is for him to...
**[15:06] ---**
It's big. It's old.
**[15:08] ---**
It's ugly.
**[15:10] ---**
I don't want this box!
**[15:12] ---**
Don't you have any respect?
**[15:15] ---**
In the future this is...
**[15:16] ---**
-It's a piece of junk.
-What?
**[15:18] ---**
It's junk! Just like you, mister.
**[15:22] ---**
Mr. Wo, I'd like you to teach
these two some manners.
**[15:28] ---**
Why me?
**[15:29] ---**
Because that's what older people do.
**[15:32] ---**
Each of us has already
achieved independence.
**[15:35] ---**
I have no desire to interfere
with their personal lives,
**[15:38] ---**
and I don't want
anyone interfering with mine.
**[15:40] ---**
Then you don't feel you're part of a group?
**[15:42] ---**
I carry out my duty for our Comrade's idea.
**[15:45] ---**
That's all I need to do.
**[15:47] ---**
And in order to do that,
shouldn't you be the one taking charge?
**[15:52] ---**
Isn't that what you left that castle for?
**[15:55] ---**
That's pretty strong
language coming from a fool.
**[15:57] ---**
Fool?
**[16:03] ---**
Sorry, I've been dealing with
the fallout after the fire in Trinolia.
**[16:06] ---**
That's why I'm the last one...
or it appears I'm not.
**[16:09] ---**
Fasalina!
**[16:11] ---**
I'm happy to see you're all doing well.
**[16:13] ---**
Let's try to get along in the
future too for our Comrade's sake.
**[16:17] ---**
I brought souvenirs from
all the places I went.
**[16:20] ---**
Souvenirs?
**[16:21] ---**
Things we can eat?
**[16:22] ---**
Yes.
**[16:23] ---**
Let's all have them after
we finish our work today.
**[16:38] ---**
There she is.
**[16:40] ---**
Hey, where did you go?
We were looking for you.
**[16:47] ---**
Well, don't you have something to say?
**[16:53] ---**
Say something, will you?
**[16:55] ---**
Are you hungry?
**[16:56] ---**
You want me to buy you something?
**[17:00] ---**
What's going on?
**[17:01] ---**
The person who called us isn't here either.
**[17:04] ---**
He was here.
**[17:05] ---**
What?
**[17:11] ---**
They're late.
**[17:12] ---**
Maybe they're in the lounge?
**[17:14] ---**
Or maybe they're on the other side.
**[17:16] ---**
It's certainly possible,
especially knowing Van.
**[17:19] ---**
Are you out of your mind!
**[17:20] ---**
Looks like we were right.
**[17:23] ---**
Hey, come on, don't yell so loud!
**[17:26] ---**
You're embarrassing me.
**[17:30] ---**
Van! What are you doing?
**[17:32] ---**
Why don't you ask her?!
**[17:34] ---**
Wendy?
**[17:37] ---**
My brother... I met my brother, Michael.
**[17:41] ---**
Here?
**[17:44] ---**
You're late. Where were you?
**[17:46] ---**
I gave you permission to go
take a look at the train platform.
**[17:49] ---**
I didn't say you could take
a break after you were done.
**[17:52] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[17:54] ---**
I had some personal
business which took me away.
**[17:57] ---**
It's not like you.
**[17:59] ---**
The report to headquarters
on restarting it will be...
**[18:01] ---**
I took care of it.
**[18:04] ---**
Thank you, Fasalina.
**[18:06] ---**
Don't mention it.
Our Comrade has expectations.
**[18:09] ---**
Which I am going to meet.
**[18:12] ---**
We're going to open the coffin now.
**[18:14] ---**
You're fine as you are.
I want you to see this too.
**[18:17] ---**
Mr. Gadved, I have something to report.
**[18:19] ---**
What?
**[18:19] ---**
The man you were talking about is up there.
**[18:22] ---**
Are you sure?
**[18:23] ---**
I saw him with my own eyes.
**[18:24] ---**
What would you like to do?
**[18:26] ---**
In that case, I'll take care of him.
**[18:29] ---**
I want you to give your
undivided attention to this.
**[18:31] ---**
Yes sir. I'll do that.
**[18:35] ---**
This is an incredible day.
**[18:37] ---**
The Original 7 members are all here.
**[18:40] ---**
One, two, three, four, five, six?
**[18:46] ---**
We're one short.
**[18:47] ---**
No. He's here.
**[18:49] ---**
The man up there.
**[18:50] ---**
Opening the coffin.
**[18:52] ---**
Extracting the main body.
**[19:17] ---**
Opening complete.
**[19:18] ---**
The restarting procedure will begin
after verification of the main body.
**[19:21] ---**
Roger. Saudade of Sunday.
**[19:24] ---**
Preparing to restart after
verification of main body.
**[19:27] ---**
Our Comrade's Original 7,
with its new personnel.
**[19:31] ---**
Today is its day of resurrection!
**[19:36] ---**
Your brother?
**[19:38] ---**
He really told you he's not coming back?
**[19:43] ---**
I see.
**[19:45] ---**
I'm going to ask you one more time.
**[19:47] ---**
Where is your brother? Where did he go?
**[19:50] ---**
I don't know.
**[19:51] ---**
Why not?
**[19:52] ---**
Because I didn't ask.
**[19:53] ---**
Why didn't you ask?
**[19:55] ---**
But...
**[19:56] ---**
This is about the Claw too.
**[19:58] ---**
Did you just talk to your
brother about old times?
**[20:01] ---**
But...
**[20:02] ---**
Why didn't you get him to tell you?
**[20:04] ---**
Please stop!
**[20:05] ---**
There's no way she could have done that.
**[20:08] ---**
Not after being told to go home by
the person who she'd finally found.
**[20:12] ---**
How could she possibly
think about something else
**[20:14] ---**
after being told to go back home?
**[20:16] ---**
Something else?
**[20:17] ---**
Joshua's got it right.
**[20:19] ---**
Wendy's still a child.
You can't ask that much of her.
**[20:35] ---**
Say, Van.
**[20:40] ---**
What am I...
**[20:42] ---**
supposed to do now?
**[20:46] ---**
What do you think I should do?
**[20:50] ---**
There's only one thing.
**[20:55] ---**
Go back to your hometown.
**[20:57] ---**
There's no reason for you to
be on this journey anymore.
**[21:01] ---**
Van, that's going too far!
**[21:12] ---**
Van?
**[21:16] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[21:19] ---**
Your little sister?
**[21:20] ---**
Yes, from Evergreen.
**[21:42] ---**
Goodbye.
**[21:45] ---**
You're OK then?
**[21:46] ---**
Yes. It's all in the past now.
**[21:50] ---**
Really?
**[21:51] ---**
Shall we get started on the future then?
**[21:55] ---**
Yes.
**[21:57] ---**
Saudade of Sunday,
restarting preparations, complete.
**[22:00] ---**
Authorized persons take
your places and stand by.
**[22:03] ---**
G-ER fluid, reserve tank,
carry out phase three.
**[22:07] ---**
Roger. G-ER fluid, phase three.
**[22:10] ---**
Saudade of Sunday...
**[22:12] ---**
commencing with restart countdown.

*My brother was the reason
why I left on this journey,*
**[24:03] ---**
*so I'd lost my purpose.*
**[24:07] ---**
*I hated my brother and Van then.*
**[24:11] ---**
*I think that's why I was so
quick to warm up to his kindness.*
**[24:15] ---**
*It was there that, split up as we were,*
**[24:18] ---**
*we all met with a horrible ordeal
that lasted throughout the night.*

"The Days of No Return"
**[02:10] ---**
Where did you come from?
**[02:14] ---**
Where are you going?
**[02:17] ---**
What are you doing? Yoshi, come on!
**[02:20] ---**
But Mom, that girl's strange.
**[02:24] ---**
Wendy.
**[02:31] ---**
It was pretty harsh of Van
to simply tell you to go home
**[02:34] ---**
after the two of you
had come this far together.
**[02:39] ---**
But maybe Van's right.
**[02:42] ---**
If my brother told me to go home,
I guess I'll just go home.
**[02:46] ---**
You're OK with that?
**[02:48] ---**
But...
**[02:49] ---**
I'm not OK with that.
No matter what my brother says.
**[02:54] ---**
Are you really OK with that, Wendy?
**[02:59] ---**
G-ER fluid replenishment, complete.
**[03:02] ---**
S-Drive update, switching over to Phase 5.
**[03:06] ---**
Commence mental check.
**[03:08] ---**
Starting mental check.
**[03:12] ---**
Adjusting neurons. Begin observation.
**[03:13] ---**
It's adaptability is unbelievable.
**[03:13] ---**
Adjusting neurons. Begin observation.
**[03:15] ---**
At this rate, not only will we be able
to restart it,...
**[03:15] ---**
From twenty to thirty...
**[03:17] ---**
we might even be able to get to the
transformation before the day's over.
**[03:19] ---**
Naturally. It's not your typical Armor.
**[03:23] ---**
So, I can leave the rest to you?
**[03:25] ---**
Yes. We can handle it.
**[03:27] ---**
I'll be back in a little bit.
Just reconfirm the start process.
**[03:31] ---**
All right.
**[03:35] ---**
It's the results from the analysis.
**[03:37] ---**
Those numbers represent
coordinates on a grid.
**[03:40] ---**
That thing there is...
**[03:42] ---**
Hey, are you listening?
**[03:44] ---**
I don't need it anymore.
**[03:45] ---**
You don't need it?
**[03:47] ---**
There's a more important clue here.
**[03:50] ---**
In fact, I think he might
even be here himself.
**[03:54] ---**
Even if that's true,
how are you going to find him?
**[03:57] ---**
I just need to see his hand.
**[03:59] ---**
If it comes to it, I'll use Wendy's
name to get her brother to come out.
**[04:03] ---**
Are you serious?
**[04:04] ---**
Of course.
**[04:06] ---**
Think about this calmly, will you?
**[04:08] ---**
Do you believe the Claw is going
to show up at someplace like this
**[04:11] ---**
when he knows lunatics like you and
Ray are out there trying to kill him?
**[04:16] ---**
You've lost your cool.
**[04:18] ---**
You're not tracking down the Claw.
**[04:20] ---**
He's got you.
**[04:22] ---**
You...
**[04:24] ---**
What do you know?
**[04:26] ---**
All that happened to you was that
little incident in your hometown.
**[04:29] ---**
Little incident?
**[04:32] ---**
So the team's breaking up?
**[04:34] ---**
We were a team?
**[04:58] ---**
Green as ever.
**[05:01] ---**
Gadved?
**[05:02] ---**
No one comes near a man
holding a sword in plain sight.
**[05:05] ---**
Where did you go?
**[05:07] ---**
When I woke up, you were already gone.
**[05:10] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[05:11] ---**
But perhaps it's fate
that I should meet you here.
**[05:17] ---**
You're looking for him, aren't you?
**[05:19] ---**
Follow me.
**[05:21] ---**
Phase 8 cleared. Starting
Saudade of Sunday.
**[05:32] ---**
Gadved, hurry up and tell me!
**[05:34] ---**
You were looking for
the Claw too, weren't you?
**[05:37] ---**
Don't be in such a rush.
**[05:39] ---**
It's been a while since
we've seen each other, hasn't it?
**[05:44] ---**
Gadved?
**[05:45] ---**
It's been three years now
**[05:47] ---**
since you and Elena
suffered that horrible tragedy?
**[05:50] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:54] ---**
Elena.
**[06:02] ---**
Reconstruct me, Gadved, please.
**[06:07] ---**
Give Dann to me.
**[06:12] ---**
The man who killed Elena...
**[06:15] ---**
the Claw...
**[06:17] ---**
I have to kill him.
**[06:19] ---**
Van!
**[06:21] ---**
Dammit! We need to at
least get you some blood.
**[06:24] ---**
Elena?
**[06:25] ---**
Gadved, help me reconstruct Van.
**[06:31] ---**
There's no way, not in your condition!
**[06:34] ---**
I'm going to die anyway.
**[06:38] ---**
Use Dann's system to help Van...
**[06:41] ---**
But...
**[06:42] ---**
Gadved.
**[06:44] ---**
If you were me...
**[06:49] ---**
I want to help Van. Help
him now and forever.
**[06:58] ---**
If that's true, then I died then too.
**[07:02] ---**
If you and Elena hadn't
given me the operation...
**[07:05] ---**
If you hadn't given Dann to me, then...
**[07:08] ---**
I was going to spend
my life protecting Elena.
**[07:11] ---**
But in reality, it was the opposite.
**[07:14] ---**
If I don't at least kill the Claw,
I'll never be able to face Elena.
**[07:20] ---**
Please, Gadved, if you
know something, tell me!
**[07:24] ---**
Van, you're the same as you were then.
**[07:27] ---**
Living on the verge of death.
**[07:29] ---**
It seems you don't
understand why Elena saved you.
**[07:34] ---**
I'm going to help you out again.
**[07:37] ---**
Become a member of the Original 7.
**[07:41] ---**
What are you talking about?
The originals were...
**[07:44] ---**
That's right.
**[07:46] ---**
The former seven were all killed,
except for me.
**[07:49] ---**
Only the satellite system and Armor remain.
**[07:53] ---**
Only now do I know the reason why.
**[07:55] ---**
They were destined to die.
**[07:59] ---**
I didn't tell you, but originally
the satellites and Armor were
**[08:03] ---**
a surveillance system used by
Mother Earth for this planet,
**[08:07] ---**
which was once a prison.
**[08:09] ---**
In other words, it was
the Original 7's duty
**[08:11] ---**
to watch over and keep the peace here.
**[08:15] ---**
But over the generations
**[08:17] ---**
the Original 7 gradually
became more and more corrupt,
**[08:20] ---**
especially after Mother
Earth was destroyed.
**[08:23] ---**
Disregarding the cries of the weak,
**[08:25] ---**
they concerned themselves with
their personal greed and power.
**[08:28] ---**
No wonder they were destroyed.
**[08:32] ---**
But now we're trying to
assemble a new and true Original 7.
**[08:37] ---**
As you know, as a result
of the reconstruction,
**[08:40] ---**
your life is directly linked to Dann.
**[08:42] ---**
Unless you make regular
contact with Dann of Thursday
**[08:45] ---**
your bodily functions will cause
you to overheat, resulting in death.
**[08:49] ---**
Like it or not, you
cannot live without Dann.
**[08:54] ---**
And without you,
Dann can't even restore himself.
**[08:58] ---**
In other words, for whatever reason,
**[09:01] ---**
you are the strongest living creature
combined with Armor in the world.
**[09:04] ---**
You are one of the Original 7.
**[09:07] ---**
You understand the pain
and suffering of the weak
**[09:09] ---**
because it's part of you.
**[09:11] ---**
That's why, for the sake
of a new, ideal world,
**[09:14] ---**
I want you to join us.
**[09:22] ---**
Phase 11.
**[09:26] ---**
He is a model student.
**[09:27] ---**
Even I could do that.
**[09:30] ---**
That's right.
**[09:32] ---**
Looks like we're done with
the initial start procedure.
**[09:34] ---**
It's about time to...
**[09:35] ---**
Would you like me to do it?
**[09:38] ---**
No thanks.
**[09:39] ---**
I have some other business I
need to take care of anyway.
**[09:41] ---**
Other business?
**[09:42] ---**
Yes. I need to settle a small matter.
**[09:45] ---**
Starting phase 12.
Setting virtual horizontal axis.
**[09:49] ---**
Gadved.
**[09:51] ---**
I'm grateful to you.
**[09:53] ---**
Thanks to you, I'm alive.
**[09:56] ---**
But the life you gave me is...
**[09:58] ---**
only to seek revenge
against the man who killed Elena.
**[10:00] ---**
That's the only reason for it.
**[10:03] ---**
I don't care what happens
to the Original 7.
**[10:07] ---**
You really are a babe in the woods.
**[10:10] ---**
Tell me something, anything.
**[10:13] ---**
Such narrow-minded ideas
**[10:14] ---**
don't even compare to those of my Comrade.
**[10:18] ---**
Your Comrade?
**[10:19] ---**
That's right.
**[10:21] ---**
Our new Original 7
work for Comrade, the Claw.
**[10:30] ---**
You've become partners with the Claw?
**[10:34] ---**
Indeed.
**[10:35] ---**
You've joined together with the man...
**[10:39] ---**
who killed Elena and sent me to hell?
**[10:41] ---**
Indeed.
**[10:42] ---**
And you're asking me to join you too?!
**[10:45] ---**
Indeed!
**[10:49] ---**
You bastard!
**[10:52] ---**
Why would you? Why with him?
**[10:56] ---**
It's what I chose to do.
That's all there is to it.
**[10:59] ---**
Where? Where is he?
**[11:02] ---**
I can't tell you that.
**[11:09] ---**
You still can't solve it, can you?
**[11:12] ---**
What do you say?
**[11:13] ---**
Would you like to talk to Comrade?
**[11:15] ---**
I buried Elena with these hands.
**[11:19] ---**
Now tell me. Where is he?
**[11:21] ---**
Where is your headquarters?
**[11:26] ---**
You think I'd tell you when
you're still considered an enemy?
**[11:30] ---**
I'm telling you.
**[11:31] ---**
No matter what you do,
I will never change my mind.
**[11:36] ---**
In that case, I'll have
to change it by force!
**[11:40] ---**
If that's the case...
**[11:53] ---**
I don't want you leaving here with regrets.
**[11:58] ---**
But if you're going home no
matter what then I'll go with you.
**[12:02] ---**
But then your brother and Van...
**[12:04] ---**
I'll probably lose track of them, but...
**[12:10] ---**
Van!
**[12:12] ---**
Hold on a moment. I'll go get him.
**[12:14] ---**
Why don't you try talking to him again?
**[12:16] ---**
Wait!
**[12:19] ---**
It's too late for that.
**[12:22] ---**
Paging Ms. Carul Mendosa.
**[12:28] ---**
Your party is waiting for
you in the central plaza.
**[12:32] ---**
My party?
**[12:41] ---**
Shall we go?
**[12:42] ---**
We don't need to see anyone, right?
**[12:48] ---**
Track 66.
**[12:50] ---**
Trains bound directly for Mulando
depart from track number 71.
**[12:55] ---**
Number 71.
**[12:57] ---**
Those going to the Sky Garden
**[12:59] ---**
please take passage E-4.
**[13:00] ---**
We did come all
this way. Should we go have a look?
**[13:02] ---**
Those going to the Sky Garden
please take passage E-4.
**[13:38] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[13:39] ---**
It's all right.
**[13:40] ---**
I wasn't paying attention and I dropped it.
**[13:42] ---**
Thanks for taking the trouble.
I'm really sorry.
**[13:45] ---**
No problem.
**[13:50] ---**
Where's your family?
**[13:53] ---**
I'm here by myself.
**[13:54] ---**
Then, you're from here?
**[13:56] ---**
I thought for sure you
were from someplace else
**[13:59] ---**
since you've got that big suitcase.
**[14:00] ---**
My trip...
**[14:03] ---**
it's already over.
**[14:05] ---**
Did something happen?
**[14:09] ---**
Who could have called me?
**[14:11] ---**
Van? No, that's ridiculous.
**[14:15] ---**
I still don't think he remembers my name.
**[14:18] ---**
Excuse me, are you Carul?
**[14:20] ---**
Yes?
**[14:22] ---**
I'm Hayetah's friend.
**[14:29] ---**
Shall we go talk some
place where it's quiet?
**[14:33] ---**
I'm in a hurry.
**[14:34] ---**
So am I.
**[14:36] ---**
Anyone! Has anyone seen a girl?
**[14:39] ---**
She's carrying a turtle
and a large suitcase!
**[14:40] ---**
The turtle's name is Kameo.
**[14:42] ---**
He's a reptile with a shell and lives
on land in the Southeastern Continent.
**[14:46] ---**
So are you going back to your hometown?
**[14:50] ---**
I don't know. I'm not sure what to do.
**[14:53] ---**
I came here for my brother.
**[14:57] ---**
But I never thought he'd say those things.
**[15:03] ---**
I just assumed he'd say,
"Thank you, Wendy,"
**[15:06] ---**
and then we'd go back home together.
**[15:10] ---**
But I was wrong.
**[15:12] ---**
Up until now I always thought I understood,
**[15:17] ---**
but I haven't changed at all.
**[15:21] ---**
I haven't grown.
**[15:24] ---**
It was the same when I
was hiding in Evergreen.
**[15:29] ---**
Everything up until now
was all for nothing.
**[15:32] ---**
My head goes completely
blank when I think about it.
**[15:38] ---**
I was worried and anxious.
**[15:41] ---**
And so, I wanted Van to tell me what to do.
**[15:44] ---**
But he was...
**[15:47] ---**
This place is teeming with living things.
**[15:50] ---**
Each and every one of which is precious.
**[15:54] ---**
And yet at some point, they all die.
**[15:58] ---**
You and me too. We cannot escape death.
**[16:02] ---**
We live for but a moment,
and then return to dust.
**[16:07] ---**
People die and the world
doesn't change the slightest bit.
**[16:13] ---**
But why?
**[16:14] ---**
I've thought about this many times.
**[16:17] ---**
Life, this thing which is
supposed to be irreplaceable
**[16:19] ---**
and yet is constantly being
laid to waste somewhere.
**[16:22] ---**
In the end, all I could think was
that was just how the world is.
**[16:27] ---**
But I still couldn't accept it.
**[16:30] ---**
And so I kept on thinking.
**[16:33] ---**
And the answer that came to me was...
**[16:37] ---**
our lives themselves
don't mean very much after all.
**[16:42] ---**
What's meaningful are the things
which our lives give birth to.
**[16:45] ---**
Yes, dreams.
**[16:48] ---**
Dreams.
**[16:50] ---**
People wish for many
things while they're alive.
**[16:53] ---**
Our strength to carry on builds
**[16:55] ---**
in accordance with how
strong those wishes are.
**[16:58] ---**
Even I have a small dream.
**[17:01] ---**
It's just a little thing, but because of it
**[17:03] ---**
I'm able to endure the
daily pain and hardship.
**[17:09] ---**
I guess your brother found
that sort of dream as well.
**[17:15] ---**
Could it be, perhaps,
that you're not sad...
**[17:19] ---**
you're jealous of your
brother who's found a dream?
**[17:23] ---**
Of my brother?
**[17:25] ---**
A selfish dream is merely desire.
**[17:28] ---**
It brings misfortune to others.
**[17:30] ---**
It swallows up everyone.
**[17:32] ---**
But then how are we all
supposed to get along?
**[17:37] ---**
What do you think?
**[17:40] ---**
I don't know.
**[17:42] ---**
But it's so simple.
**[17:45] ---**
We all should have the same dream.
**[17:48] ---**
A dream so big it's even
worth risking your life for.
**[17:53] ---**
Then all our fears will go away.
**[17:56] ---**
In other words, unhappiness
will disappear from the world.
**[17:59] ---**
Don't you think so?
**[18:16] ---**
Who am I to be telling you all this?
**[18:20] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[18:22] ---**
I feel better now.
**[18:26] ---**
What's your dream?
**[18:29] ---**
I talked about it like it
was some great big thing,
**[18:32] ---**
but it's quite ordinary.
**[18:34] ---**
It's for a world where
**[18:37] ---**
everyone can live happily in peace.
**[18:48] ---**
That bitch.
**[18:53] ---**
Don't underestimate me.
**[19:04] ---**
Phase 21.
**[19:05] ---**
Following voltage check...
**[19:06] ---**
commence circulation of G-ER fluid...
**[19:09] ---**
in left leg module via duct number 4.
**[19:11] ---**
Mental Check number 3...
**[19:14] ---**
clear.
**[19:15] ---**
He's doing better than I thought.
**[19:17] ---**
But I wonder how he'll
do when it's the real thing.
**[19:21] ---**
You hungry?
**[19:24] ---**
Mellisa would prefer a meal
over her friend's armor?
**[19:28] ---**
That's brilliant.
**[19:31] ---**
Amazing.
**[19:33] ---**
This is the Original,
nothing like the training device.
**[19:36] ---**
We can do it now.
**[19:38] ---**
Our Comrade and the rest of us
will be able to change the world.
**[19:42] ---**
Phase 22.
**[19:48] ---**
There's one thing I want to know.
**[19:50] ---**
What was it about that
asshole that won you over?
**[19:54] ---**
My Comrade isn't as special as you think.
**[19:58] ---**
He's strong, weak...
**[20:00] ---**
cruel, and kind, an ordinary person.
**[20:03] ---**
After I overheated and collapsed
**[20:05] ---**
he used the same hands he'd
committed those atrocities with
**[20:08] ---**
to carry me to a doctor.
**[20:10] ---**
Sharing the same dream
as someone like him...
**[20:12] ---**
That's you.
**[20:14] ---**
You don't change the rules
that have been decided on.
**[20:16] ---**
Van, it's not the past that moves
people to act, it's the future.
**[20:21] ---**
Become the sword of a
new age together with us.
**[20:24] ---**
Sometimes you have to shut your eyes...
**[20:26] ---**
when you stand before a great cause.
**[20:29] ---**
Sorry, but I'm tired of
hearing these things.
**[20:32] ---**
I can't shut my eyes, and so...
**[20:35] ---**
You're on!
**[20:59] ---**
What is it?
**[21:04] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[21:09] ---**
Wake up, Diablo.
**[21:16] ---**
Let's see how well
you've improved upon that life
**[21:22] ---**
that Elena and I helped save.
**[21:26] ---**
If you're not up to snuff,
**[21:28] ---**
this is where you die.
**[21:33] ---**
Wendy!
**[21:35] ---**
I was looking for you.
**[21:36] ---**
I thought maybe you'd already left.
**[21:38] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[21:40] ---**
I've been waiting.
**[21:45] ---**
Mister?
**[22:01] ---**
How is it?
**[22:03] ---**
Very good.
**[22:04] ---**
Maintenance really is important.
**[22:07] ---**
You're...
**[22:09] ---**
Wendy, would you like to
dream together with me?
**[22:16] ---**
The man with...
**[22:18] ---**
the Claw.
**[22:19] ---**
Wendy!
**[22:22] ---**
Comrade!
**[23:56] ---**
"Dream in Progress"
**[23:58] ---**
*I think everyone's
had that kind of day.*
**[24:02] ---**
*A day when you feel like*
**[24:03] ---**
*you're a little bit more grown up
than you were the day before.*
**[24:06] ---**
*That's what it was
like for me that night.*
**[24:10] ---**
*There was my brother,
the Claw, and Van...*
**[24:15] ---**
*but the thing that changed me...*
**[24:18] ---**
*changed the path I
was taking the most was...*

"Dream in Progress"
**[02:20] ---**
Big brother!
**[02:27] ---**
Damn it!
**[02:32] ---**
So it's you.
**[02:37] ---**
Die!
**[02:46] ---**
Comrade!
**[02:48] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[02:50] ---**
No need to worry.
**[02:52] ---**
There's still something I have to do.
**[02:54] ---**
And because of that, I cannot be killed.
**[02:58] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:01] ---**
Are you all right?
**[03:05] ---**
You, the one with the gun,
do you have a dream?
**[03:13] ---**
Come now, please tell me your dream.
**[03:17] ---**
Me?
**[03:18] ---**
My dream is to tear you up limb from limb!
**[03:24] ---**
The train for Duel Park leaves
from platform number 68.
**[03:27] ---**
Those with freight, please be
prepared to verify the contents.
**[03:32] ---**
What is it?
**[03:33] ---**
Is she higher up?
**[03:34] ---**
Is it Armor?
**[03:35] ---**
Yes, it's Armor.
**[03:41] ---**
Attention everyone,
we have an announcement.
**[03:42] ---**
At this time, it appears
Armor has intruded onto
**[03:45] ---**
tracks number 41 through 62...
**[03:47] ---**
Van!
**[04:12] ---**
You're so slow!
**[04:14] ---**
Much too slow for the Original 7!
**[04:18] ---**
Original?
**[04:19] ---**
That's right. We're going
to create an ideal world!
**[04:21] ---**
Who cares!
**[04:27] ---**
You're pretty spirited
for someone your age.
**[04:31] ---**
You're all talk, tenderfoot.
**[04:33] ---**
We would like to inform you.
**[04:36] ---**
We are expecting danger
due to the Armor battle
**[04:38] ---**
and we ask that you
please kindly evacuate
**[04:40] ---**
to the North Block immediately.
**[04:42] ---**
Furthermore, this incident
is completely unrelated to...
**[04:44] ---**
Hurry! This way! Furthermore, this
incident is completely unrelated to...
**[04:46] ---**
Gadved, what are you doing?
**[04:48] ---**
Did something happen to Gadved?
**[04:50] ---**
No, nothing.
**[04:52] ---**
You just focus on this.
**[04:53] ---**
We'll be entering Phase 30
in a couple minutes.
**[04:55] ---**
Roger.
**[04:57] ---**
Chief!
**[04:59] ---**
Where's Wo and the rest of them?
**[05:01] ---**
They were getting something to eat.
**[05:03] ---**
What?
**[05:04] ---**
He said he is leaving the missing
number of Seven to Gadved.
**[05:08] ---**
Really?
**[05:09] ---**
But contact our friend if
the situation calls for it.
**[05:12] ---**
Yes sir.
**[05:15] ---**
Yes, indeed. Cut me limb from limb.
**[05:20] ---**
Ray, please don't!
**[05:22] ---**
It wouldn't make Shino happy.
**[05:25] ---**
This is simply murder!
**[05:26] ---**
What's wrong with that?
**[05:29] ---**
If killing him makes me a cold-blooded
murderer, that's fine by me.
**[05:34] ---**
Big brother...
**[05:35] ---**
That's wonderful.
**[05:37] ---**
You truly are wonderful.
**[05:40] ---**
Did you hear, Wendy?
**[05:42] ---**
That is a dream.
**[05:44] ---**
The very picture of someone
willing to die for a dream.
**[05:46] ---**
How noble. How powerful.
**[05:49] ---**
In that case, I'll kill you here and now.
**[05:53] ---**
Yes. Please do.
**[05:56] ---**
If that's your dream, I don't
have any problems with it.
**[06:02] ---**
But not right now.
**[06:04] ---**
As I said just a moment ago,
there's something I have to do.
**[06:08] ---**
Compared to it,
your dream is quite insignificant.
**[06:14] ---**
Or should I say, stunted.
**[06:16] ---**
And so you can't kill me.
**[06:19] ---**
It would make everyone unhappy.
**[06:23] ---**
Oh, and I'm ashamed to ask...
**[06:27] ---**
but could you please tell me
why it is you want to kill me?
**[06:33] ---**
You don't remember...
**[06:35] ---**
I'm terribly sorry.
**[06:36] ---**
That you killed my Shino!
**[06:39] ---**
Oh, you've lost someone you love.
**[06:43] ---**
But is my killing her
such a serious matter?
**[06:49] ---**
She's alive in your heart, isn't she?
**[06:53] ---**
Isn't that enough?
**[06:57] ---**
But if there's no way for you to
come to terms with your sense of loss,
**[07:02] ---**
why don't I provide you
with a happier alternative?
**[07:06] ---**
Won't you join the Original 7?
**[07:10] ---**
And please help me.
**[07:13] ---**
It would make both of us happy.
**[07:23] ---**
That's enough.
**[07:25] ---**
I understand. Now hurry up and die!
**[07:33] ---**
Out of my way!
**[07:39] ---**
Oh my.
**[07:41] ---**
My Comrade!
**[07:46] ---**
Chesto!
**[07:55] ---**
Tell me, Van!
**[07:58] ---**
What?
**[07:59] ---**
My... My decision...!
**[08:05] ---**
Was it correct?
**[08:10] ---**
I saved you that day, and then
you decided to kill my Comrade.
**[08:15] ---**
What's your point?
**[08:16] ---**
But my Comrade is the one who caused
this tragedy, which started everything.
**[08:20] ---**
What is right? What is wrong?
**[08:23] ---**
I'm asking you for an answer right now.
**[08:26] ---**
You, the one who took a different
path from me and survived.
**[08:30] ---**
If I'm wrong, then try and kill me!
**[08:34] ---**
That is my redemption!
**[08:37] ---**
If I'm right, then this is where you die!
**[08:40] ---**
That is my condemnation!
**[08:42] ---**
What are you saying?
**[08:44] ---**
Redemption or condemnation...?
**[08:51] ---**
Who cares!
**[08:58] ---**
I don't care about your doubts!
**[09:05] ---**
Now tell me where that
son of a bitch the Claw is!
**[09:09] ---**
I'm not even about to tell you.
**[09:10] ---**
Oh, really?
**[09:31] ---**
I'm disappointed in you, Van.
**[09:33] ---**
You don't know the first thing about Dann.
**[09:37] ---**
You don't know how to use Dann at all.
**[09:40] ---**
You're simply moving him around.
You're just riding him.
**[09:44] ---**
And you think you're ready for
revenge and personal vendettas?
**[09:46] ---**
I can't believe I expected
anything from you.
**[09:57] ---**
Van, now I'm going to tell you.
**[10:00] ---**
I'm the one who introduced my
Comrade to the former Original 7.
**[10:04] ---**
I led him to the wedding.
**[10:10] ---**
They were corrupt,
**[10:11] ---**
and I thought my Comrade's idea
and his dream would change them.
**[10:17] ---**
My Comrade changed
everything, that's for sure!
**[10:19] ---**
They went to their graves
and I obtained a new dream.
**[10:24] ---**
That's right.
**[10:25] ---**
In a way, you could say that I
was the cause of everything.
**[10:28] ---**
Why are you telling me this now?
**[10:30] ---**
But Van, I don't have
even the slightest regret.
**[10:39] ---**
After all, you're just
someone who wandered off!
**[10:44] ---**
It's dangerous!
Keep calm!
**[10:47] ---**
Please wait your turn!
**[10:48] ---**
It's an unseemly fight as usual.
**[10:51] ---**
They had to be reconstructed,
otherwise they were useless old types.
**[10:55] ---**
That enemy in particular,
he's not just unseemly, he's indecent.
**[11:00] ---**
He can't move at all.
**[11:03] ---**
Why do we want that guy
to be one of the Seven?
**[11:07] ---**
I don't know.
**[11:09] ---**
Our friend may have given his approval,
but it was merely out of sentiment.
**[11:14] ---**
I feel sorry for him.
**[11:17] ---**
If you have weapons,
you rely on weapons.
**[11:20] ---**
If you ride Armor,
you rely on Armor.
**[11:22] ---**
So why are you here, then?
**[11:29] ---**
Come on, give me an answer.
**[11:32] ---**
Redemption or condemnation, which is it?
**[11:47] ---**
What did you do that for?
**[11:49] ---**
Why?
**[11:52] ---**
Why did you...?
**[11:55] ---**
Josh.
**[11:58] ---**
I can't let my brother murder someone...
**[12:02] ---**
Joshua!
**[12:07] ---**
Sky Garden Forest Floor.
**[12:09] ---**
Yes. A Double-E type case has occurred.
**[12:13] ---**
We should be able to
handle it here, but just in case...
**[12:16] ---**
Yes.
**[12:17] ---**
No matter how many
times you try, it's the same.
**[12:20] ---**
Your dream cannot kill me.
**[12:23] ---**
So would you like to dream with me?
**[12:26] ---**
Dream for everyone to
live happily together?
**[12:36] ---**
Why did I give Dann to this drifter?
**[12:39] ---**
This stray dog who wasn't
an Original or anything!
**[12:41] ---**
I'm asking you for the last time.
Do you want to join us?
**[12:58] ---**
Just seeking revenge is no way to live.
**[13:06] ---**
You can also be a man
by living for a new dream.
**[13:08] ---**
I'll train you well, starting from scratch.
**[13:13] ---**
Become a messenger of peace.
**[13:15] ---**
If you meet my Comrade,
you can share the dream.
**[13:23] ---**
Dream?
**[13:34] ---**
I got you!
**[13:41] ---**
My Comrade! He really is trying to...!
**[13:47] ---**
Hi!
**[13:56] ---**
What is it? What's going on?
**[13:58] ---**
An unidentified object is
rising from within Zonnet!
**[14:01] ---**
The Sky Garden is in its path.
**[14:03] ---**
Sky Garden?
**[14:05] ---**
The place where Fasalina's
transmission came from?
**[14:10] ---**
I'm going to make you remember.
**[14:13] ---**
This is the Armor Shino made!
**[14:17] ---**
Volcain!
**[14:22] ---**
Look, Gadved.
**[14:25] ---**
I'm grateful to you. I really am.
**[14:27] ---**
But I can't share dreams
with the person you are now.
**[14:35] ---**
That's not what Elena saved me for.
**[14:41] ---**
All right. I won't ask you again.
**[14:44] ---**
Sorry.
**[14:46] ---**
Well Dann, shall we get a move on?
**[14:49] ---**
Let's finish this.
**[14:51] ---**
My Comrade!
**[14:52] ---**
Now we're even!
**[14:53] ---**
But I'm in a hurry...
**[14:55] ---**
What do I care!
**[14:57] ---**
Big brother!
**[14:58] ---**
Get out of here, Josh!
I'm going to die with this guy!
**[15:07] ---**
This thing is...
**[15:09] ---**
I remember.
**[15:11] ---**
This is the one that uses
underground resources.
**[15:13] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[15:15] ---**
It's a keepsake to remember Shino,
whom you killed!
**[15:17] ---**
You're wrong.
**[15:19] ---**
What?
**[15:20] ---**
The technology and the
thinking behind its design.
**[15:23] ---**
They're things which support my dream.
**[15:26] ---**
Oh, that's right. Shino is alive inside me.
**[15:30] ---**
Which means your dream doesn't make sense.
**[15:35] ---**
You can't avenge the death
of someone who is still alive.
**[15:38] ---**
Do you mean to defile Shino?!
**[15:46] ---**
Die!
**[15:56] ---**
Hey!
**[16:04] ---**
You're in the way!
**[16:16] ---**
Big brother Michael?
**[16:18] ---**
Gadved!
**[16:21] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[16:22] ---**
I'm sorry. There was an emergency.
**[16:24] ---**
You did well, even
though it was your first time.
**[16:28] ---**
I'll explain back at headquarters.
**[16:29] ---**
Certainly.
**[16:45] ---**
*It's him.*
**[16:55] ---**
I found him!
**[17:00] ---**
They just up and left. Let's go back too.
**[17:05] ---**
Really?
**[17:09] ---**
Van, that Armor just now
has given me the answer.
**[17:12] ---**
People really are meant
to live for tomorrow.
**[17:16] ---**
You live in the past and this
next blow is my condemnation
**[17:19] ---**
that will put an end to you.
**[17:21] ---**
No. You're wrong.
**[17:23] ---**
What?
**[17:24] ---**
This is the beginning.
At last, I've found him.
**[17:28] ---**
Now all I have to do is catch
him and smash his brains in.
**[17:37] ---**
My journey wasn't a mistake.
**[17:46] ---**
Have you changed your
tune at the last moment?
**[17:49] ---**
But your thin disguise
won't work with me.
**[17:53] ---**
Gadved, I liked you.
**[17:59] ---**
You lived by your code
and never compromised.
**[18:02] ---**
Even now, it's the same. That's why...
**[18:05] ---**
if you get in my way,
I'll force my way through!
**[18:09] ---**
I'm not letting you by!
**[18:12] ---**
I'm coming through!
**[18:14] ---**
Chesto!
**[18:43] ---**
Gadved.
**[18:46] ---**
What?
**[18:47] ---**
Someday, let's talk about the same dream.
**[18:52] ---**
I look forward to it.
**[19:01] ---**
My dream has been splintered to pieces,
**[19:05] ---**
along with the crimes I have committed.
**[19:18] ---**
Shall we go?
**[19:19] ---**
Is Gadved dead?
**[19:21] ---**
Yes. It was magnificent.
**[19:28] ---**
Is that right?
**[19:29] ---**
Yes.
**[19:30] ---**
We received word from Chief Mutaaka.
**[19:33] ---**
Then there's no mistake.
**[19:35] ---**
Gadved, you were a truly
unshakable individual.
**[19:39] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:41] ---**
I envy him.
**[19:44] ---**
We've provided RWC
with the transfer hover-base,
**[19:47] ---**
so we'll use the aqueduct
to ship the main body.
**[19:50] ---**
Our exclusive team still in Zonnet
will arrange for a private train
**[19:54] ---**
together with Wo and the others.
**[19:56] ---**
Yes. I'll leave that to you.
**[19:58] ---**
Sorry about all the trouble.
**[20:01] ---**
Oh, that's quite all right.
**[20:03] ---**
Gadved.
**[20:04] ---**
*You're the kid my Comrade
went out of his way to go meet?*
**[20:09] ---**
*Just because you're a
hotshot who can operate it*
**[20:11] ---**
*without being reconstructed
doesn't mean we can use you.*
**[20:15] ---**
*No! You've got it all wrong!*
**[20:17] ---**
*Being an Original isn't about riding,
it's about believing.*
**[20:20] ---**
*That's it. That's the focus.*
**[20:22] ---**
*Do it like that, and your five senses
will become one with the Original.*
**[20:26] ---**
*Michael...*
**[20:27] ---**
*to weave this dream that
my Comrade and I have,*
**[20:30] ---**
*and to bring peace to the people,
you need to have more pride.*
**[20:39] ---**
It is dangerous, so please
do not leave the shelter.
**[20:42] ---**
We will continue to keep you posted.
**[20:45] ---**
Until we have confirmed your safety,
please do not leave...
**[20:48] ---**
Big brother, I'll stop you
as many times as I have to.
**[20:52] ---**
What are you standing there thinking about?
**[20:54] ---**
Let's hurry up and go after them.
**[20:57] ---**
You're coming too?
**[20:59] ---**
I've got some scores to settle.
**[21:01] ---**
From now on it's half
business, half personal.
**[21:11] ---**
It's here.
**[21:16] ---**
It's mine now.
**[21:24] ---**
Hey.
**[21:28] ---**
Hey.
**[21:32] ---**
Well then.
**[21:39] ---**
There's no need to search for
your brother anymore, is there?
**[21:41] ---**
I'm not searching.
**[21:43] ---**
My brother found a dream on
his own and left on his own.
**[21:47] ---**
So I want to think about this myself.
**[21:51] ---**
I want to decide myself
what's right and what's wrong.
**[21:59] ---**
And if my brother's dream is wrong...
**[22:03] ---**
I have to stop him.
**[22:06] ---**
Should we get something to eat first?
**[22:08] ---**
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
**[22:10] ---**
Neither have I.
**[22:15] ---**
Van, it's dawn.
**[22:20] ---**
All right, from now on
I'm "Van of the Dawn."
**[23:56] ---**
"Swift Brownie"
**[23:57] ---**
*After that, Van ended up
entering a tournament at Duel Park.*
**[24:02] ---**
*The matches were head-to-head fights
to see whose Armor was the strongest.*
**[24:06] ---**
*As far as the circumstances,
there were a lot of things.*
**[24:09] ---**
*Pricilla was his opponent.*
**[24:12] ---**
*It's just a thought, but I get the feeling*
**[24:14] ---**
*that the people who gravitate
towards Van, both friends and enemies,*
**[24:18] ---**
*tend to be people who give
their all to whatever it is they do.*

**[01:35] ---**
"Swift Brownie"
**[01:40] ---**
Armor battles are all
the rage here at Duel Park.
**[01:44] ---**
We've got all kinds of Armor
coming here from everywhere.
**[01:47] ---**
In particular, you'd be
amazed by the amount
**[01:50] ---**
that's wagered on the
bi-annual B-1 Grand Prix.
**[01:53] ---**
To be honest, it's great publicity.
**[01:55] ---**
For manufacturers like us who
want to get involved in Armor,
**[02:00] ---**
this place is absolutely not to be ignored.
**[02:09] ---**
That one's fast.
**[02:10] ---**
That's Brownie, she's the most popular.
**[02:19] ---**
That's the "Pixie Stab."
**[02:21] ---**
Brownie rarely gets hit by her opponents,
**[02:24] ---**
and usually wins with a single stroke.
**[02:27] ---**
Damn it!
**[02:28] ---**
The winner is Brownie!
**[02:31] ---**
She now moves on to the final.
**[02:36] ---**
Thank you all for your support!
**[02:38] ---**
Brownie operates on MOS.
**[02:39] ---**
Brownie operates on MOS.
**[02:41] ---**
That's when the Armor is linked
up to the rider's movements.
**[02:44] ---**
At this point, I don't think
I have to explain to you
**[02:47] ---**
why she's the most popular.
**[02:49] ---**
Are you all getting enough to eat?
**[02:52] ---**
She brings a lot of excitement,
but she shouldn't win.
**[02:56] ---**
It's not part of the plan.
**[02:57] ---**
That's why I want you to
beat her in tomorrow's final.
**[03:01] ---**
But you'll have do it
as an employee of RWC.
**[03:05] ---**
Use one of your own people.
**[03:07] ---**
How did you make it
this far in the tournament?
**[03:09] ---**
We put a lot of money and influence
into prefabricated test models.
**[03:14] ---**
Of course we had some super-Armor
and a super-Armor rider ready.
**[03:18] ---**
But we weren't counting
on that accident in Zonnet.
**[03:21] ---**
Zonnet?
**[03:22] ---**
Yes.
**[03:23] ---**
We've been informed that the
special Armor transport rail is out.
**[03:28] ---**
The chances of it getting here
in time for the final are small.
**[03:31] ---**
We need a back-up plan,
and so we found you.
**[03:37] ---**
Dann and I aren't parts for your company.
**[03:41] ---**
We'll fill out the papers
for provisional registration.
**[03:44] ---**
You'll receive the prize money
along with the hover-base award.
**[03:48] ---**
But isn't that thing a little big?
**[03:51] ---**
That's because it's for Armor.
**[03:53] ---**
If you don't like it, you can resell it.
**[03:56] ---**
By the way, Van, what do you
think about this mountain of junk?
**[04:00] ---**
The scattered ruins of unsightly Armors
**[04:03] ---**
that lacked unity in their
planning and design.
**[04:07] ---**
For widespread development
**[04:08] ---**
Armor in the future is
going to need to be designed
**[04:11] ---**
so that ordinary people can operate it.
**[04:13] ---**
And our company, RWC, will achieve that
**[04:15] ---**
by applying the technology
we've cultivated for the railroads.
**[04:19] ---**
My goal is to mass produce Armor
so that every home can have one.
**[04:26] ---**
With today's battle we've
gained a foothold for that purpose.
**[04:28] ---**
Winning the championship is
the only way to gain people's trust.
**[04:32] ---**
That's why I want you to lend
me your strength, and your Armor.
**[04:40] ---**
Sounds good to me.
We can always use the money.
**[04:44] ---**
I take it we have a deal.
**[04:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:48] ---**
Great. Right on schedule.
**[04:52] ---**
We heard your employee
is going to be in it.
**[04:54] ---**
Thank you for waiting, everyone!
**[04:56] ---**
This is our company, RWC's, secret weapon.
**[04:59] ---**
Chief Clerk of the Civil
Engineering Department:
**[05:01] ---**
"Van, the Pretty Man
in the Garbage Heap."
**[05:03] ---**
Garbage heap?
The crybaby from hell?
**[05:06] ---**
Boy! He doesn't waste any time!
**[05:09] ---**
So you're my opponent.
**[05:12] ---**
It's Pricilla!
**[05:13] ---**
Pricilla?
**[05:15] ---**
You're "Van, the Piece of Garbage"?
**[05:18] ---**
You trying to provoke me?
**[05:20] ---**
Besides, I now go by "Van of the Dawn."
**[05:25] ---**
In any case, you're Van.
**[05:27] ---**
I'm Pricilla.
**[05:29] ---**
Let's have a good, clean fight.
**[05:31] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[05:34] ---**
Please look this way!
**[05:35] ---**
This way too!
**[05:36] ---**
OK!
**[05:40] ---**
You're really going to fight her?
**[05:43] ---**
I have to. It's a job.
**[05:44] ---**
And it's not a fight to the death.
**[05:47] ---**
More important, how's Joshua?
**[05:48] ---**
Oh, that...
**[05:51] ---**
The doctor was worried
about a possible infection,
**[05:54] ---**
so he wanted to have him hospitalized.
**[05:56] ---**
Why are you leaving without me, Van?
**[06:01] ---**
Hey kid!
**[06:03] ---**
You keep talking in your sleep!
Now shut up!
**[06:06] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry. I had a horrible dream.
**[06:10] ---**
That's great. Let's just leave him and go.
**[06:14] ---**
Van!
**[06:15] ---**
There's nothing we can do,
and he weighs us down.
**[06:17] ---**
Weighs us down?
**[06:19] ---**
All right. That's enough.
**[06:21] ---**
With the hospital charges, on top
of everything else, we need money.
**[06:24] ---**
You don't have much left
from before, right?
**[06:26] ---**
No, not really.
**[06:28] ---**
For now, let's think about how
we're going to accomplish this job.
**[06:31] ---**
Because if we don't, we won't be
able to make it to our destination.
**[06:34] ---**
Um, destination?
**[06:36] ---**
The location indicated
by the data in this board.
**[06:39] ---**
The case and the artificial arm that
woman had didn't give us any clues.
**[06:44] ---**
So I guess for now,
we'll have to go on this data.
**[06:48] ---**
Where is it?
**[06:50] ---**
Well it's... underwater.
**[06:53] ---**
Tell Joshua he can meet
up with us nearby at...
**[07:01] ---**
Oh my.
**[07:02] ---**
She's...
**[07:05] ---**
Well, shall we tag along and see?
**[07:08] ---**
Van?
**[07:10] ---**
Me too?
**[07:11] ---**
Scoping out the enemy
is part of the job, isn't it?
**[07:22] ---**
Pricilla!
**[07:23] ---**
Sorry I'm late!
**[07:29] ---**
Is this where she lives?
**[07:31] ---**
It's a rented dock.
**[07:32] ---**
It would have been nice if Giovanni
had at least told us about this.
**[07:36] ---**
That's the Armor Van's going to fight.
**[07:38] ---**
Let's give thanks for today's meal.
**[07:40] ---**
For peace on earth.
**[07:42] ---**
For a bright and cheerful
future for all people.
**[07:45] ---**
Three, two, one!
**[07:48] ---**
Thank you for our food!
**[07:51] ---**
Children?
**[07:52] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[07:53] ---**
The processing speed is
accelerated by using a crystal.
**[07:57] ---**
But I wonder where she
got her hands on this Armor.
**[08:01] ---**
Pass the jam!
**[08:02] ---**
Hey, you've got two pieces of bread!
**[08:04] ---**
So what! I'm going to eat them.
**[08:05] ---**
No. Wait your turn!
**[08:08] ---**
You see.
**[08:09] ---**
All right.
**[08:12] ---**
You need to chew when you eat. Don't gulp.
**[08:20] ---**
Aren't you going to eat, Pricilla?
**[08:23] ---**
I ate along the way while
I was coming home.
**[08:25] ---**
You shouldn't fill up on snacks.
**[08:26] ---**
Sorry.
**[08:30] ---**
All right, I'm going to do
my after-dinner workout!
**[08:33] ---**
No!
**[08:34] ---**
Don't leave me!
**[08:37] ---**
Hey, kid!
**[08:38] ---**
Didn't I tell you to shut up?
**[08:51] ---**
Pricilla!
**[08:53] ---**
What are you eating out here?
**[08:56] ---**
Bread crust.
**[08:57] ---**
I thought so.
**[08:59] ---**
I know you care about them...
**[09:00] ---**
It's really good,
and it helps keep me on my diet.
**[09:04] ---**
Besides, I have to pay for
Brownie's repairs and customization.
**[09:10] ---**
But it shouldn't just be you.
**[09:13] ---**
As an elder, I should really be
the one who provides for them.
**[09:16] ---**
That's not true.
**[09:18] ---**
You're busy looking after the
kids and I like riding Armor.
**[09:23] ---**
Pricilla, I know I already told you,
but please stop.
**[09:27] ---**
Why?
**[09:28] ---**
One more victory and I'll
win the championship!
**[09:30] ---**
Then we'll get the prize
money and the bonus award.
**[09:33] ---**
If you lose, we'll lose everything.
**[09:37] ---**
I know what I'm doing is selfish.
**[09:40] ---**
I'm sorry, but...
**[09:42] ---**
We can survive for a while on
the money you've made so far.
**[09:45] ---**
You're already injured. Don't try so hard.
**[09:48] ---**
Oh, this?
**[09:50] ---**
It's just a bruise and it's almost healed.
**[09:54] ---**
I know that!
**[09:57] ---**
What the heck.
**[09:59] ---**
What happens if you keep
overdoing it and end up like Mama?
**[10:02] ---**
She kept on working for
our benefit until the end.
**[10:07] ---**
Johanna, I've always
wanted to be like Mama.
**[10:12] ---**
She raised us like we were her real family.
**[10:16] ---**
That's why I keep on fighting
with Brownie in the Battle Show.
**[10:19] ---**
But what if you die?
**[10:21] ---**
There's still time.
**[10:23] ---**
Why don't you try talking
to Giovanni again?
**[10:26] ---**
No. I'm not going to throw the match!
**[10:30] ---**
Even if Mama broke the rules,
she never threw a fight.
**[10:33] ---**
Mama would be angry with me if I did.
**[10:36] ---**
Besides, he insulted
Mama's Armor, didn't he?
**[10:39] ---**
Telling us Brownie was an
embarrassment in terms of strength.
**[10:42] ---**
Pricilla.
**[10:45] ---**
I'm going to win.
**[10:46] ---**
I'll show that I can win
fighting fair and square.
**[10:49] ---**
And then we'll build a big house.
**[10:51] ---**
A great big house where the kids
can live until they're all grown up.
**[11:01] ---**
Giovanni you bastard.
**[11:03] ---**
Trying to get her to throw the
match for his own selfish purposes.
**[11:06] ---**
If she'd accepted, we'd be out of a job.
**[11:09] ---**
Hey, Van.
**[11:12] ---**
What happens to those kids if you win?
**[11:15] ---**
What happens?
**[11:17] ---**
That's their problem.
It's got nothing to do with me.
**[11:21] ---**
He's right.
**[11:23] ---**
How can you say that?
**[11:40] ---**
Trains are so slow, and
there's nothing to do.
**[11:43] ---**
But the scenery is pretty.
**[11:45] ---**
Very pretty.
**[11:47] ---**
Even though there's
nothing but rocks and sky?
**[11:51] ---**
Oh, I wish we could have
gone together with our Comrade.
**[11:56] ---**
What is it?
**[11:57] ---**
A star.
**[12:00] ---**
They're getting closer.
**[12:03] ---**
Carossa. Mellisa.
**[12:05] ---**
What?
**[12:06] ---**
Can I ask you to deliver the items for me?
**[12:09] ---**
Something's come up
that I need to take care of.
**[12:14] ---**
So this is the Armor
everyone's talking about?
**[12:17] ---**
It uses a liquid for its
skeletal structure.
**[12:19] ---**
How does the control system work?
What's the power source?
**[12:24] ---**
Do I have to answer, railway man?
**[12:27] ---**
You don't seem to understand.
**[12:29] ---**
It may be short-term, but
upon entering the contract,
**[12:32] ---**
this Armor is a land-clearing
train and you are its operator.
**[12:35] ---**
Trains always run straight
along the tracks.
**[12:39] ---**
There are no exceptions.
**[12:40] ---**
No matter how special the Armor is,
it cannot escape from the rails.
**[12:46] ---**
I ride the rails tomorrow.
I leave the rest to you.
**[12:49] ---**
Hey!
**[12:51] ---**
Mr. Giovanni, he only
brought the Armor down
**[12:54] ---**
so it could be registered.
**[12:56] ---**
Fine.
**[13:00] ---**
Is the Armor really special?
**[13:07] ---**
What the hell happened that time?
**[13:15] ---**
What the...?
**[13:20] ---**
Watch out, Van.
**[13:23] ---**
It's a little late to
be telling me that now.
**[13:25] ---**
Sorry.
**[13:28] ---**
You'll find lots of parts you
can use around here too.
**[13:31] ---**
If you look carefully,
there are some real gems.
**[13:34] ---**
You customize it yourself?
You're really something.
**[13:38] ---**
I like tinkering with Armor.
**[13:40] ---**
Is that right?
**[13:42] ---**
I can't stand it. It's too much trouble.
**[13:44] ---**
You can't be like that.
You have to take good care of it.
**[13:47] ---**
Oh, are you leaving?
**[13:49] ---**
It's dangerous if anyone sees us together.
**[13:52] ---**
Why?
**[13:53] ---**
Some people might get suspicious.
**[13:54] ---**
You're going to lose on purpose?
**[13:56] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[13:57] ---**
Great! I don't want to
have a fixed fight either.
**[14:01] ---**
In that case, there's
nothing to worry about!
**[14:04] ---**
Right?
**[14:06] ---**
You're pretty coordinated.
**[14:07] ---**
Amazing, aren't I?
**[14:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:18] ---**
You get carried away
with yourself pretty easily.
**[14:24] ---**
I-I do?
**[14:28] ---**
Um, I really think you're overdoing it.
**[14:30] ---**
But he won't shut up.
**[14:33] ---**
I know it.
**[14:35] ---**
What?
**[14:37] ---**
Except for Armor, I'm worthless.
**[14:40] ---**
Maybe that's why it's only
when I'm riding Brownie
**[14:43] ---**
I feel like I can lose
myself in what I'm doing...
**[14:46] ---**
like I've become stronger
than anyone else in the world.
**[14:51] ---**
Am l strange?
**[14:54] ---**
No. I have times like that
too every once in a while.
**[14:57] ---**
You too?
**[14:59] ---**
I've never thought about
whether I'm good for anything or not,
**[15:02] ---**
but it's probably close to the same thing.
**[15:04] ---**
Really? So then we're friends.
**[15:07] ---**
Hey now, we're enemies.
**[15:10] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[15:12] ---**
Well then, tomorrow I'll go
all out and beat you to a pulp.
**[15:15] ---**
I told you not to get
carried away with yourself.
**[15:18] ---**
You really are strange.
**[15:20] ---**
What? You're mean.
**[15:23] ---**
B-1 Grand Prix Final Card!
**[15:25] ---**
RWC's Armor for the finals, and
making its first appearance, "Dann"!
**[15:30] ---**
Who'll be going up against Team
Sister Mama's well-known "Brownie"!
**[15:34] ---**
Go Pricilla!
**[15:36] ---**
The odds favoring Brownie have
narrowed from 8 to 2, to 6 to 4.
**[15:42] ---**
That's probably because
**[15:42] ---**
RWC's promotion has appealed
to the higher income classes.
**[15:48] ---**
Preparations for the victory
party have been arranged.
**[15:51] ---**
The suit I'm going to wear is finished.
**[15:53] ---**
All that's left is for your
Armor to win as planned.
**[15:56] ---**
Yes, that's right. Everything
according to plan.
**[16:00] ---**
That's how it works on the railroad.
**[16:03] ---**
All right, it's time to begin! Ready! Go!
**[16:08] ---**
Here I come, Van!
**[16:12] ---**
It's a job. Sorry, but I'm
going to end this quick.
**[16:15] ---**
Don't get carried away.
**[16:17] ---**
You just keep talking.
**[16:19] ---**
Here comes!
**[16:20] ---**
I saw that attack coming from a mile away!
**[16:23] ---**
Oh, really?
**[16:25] ---**
Really.
**[16:28] ---**
She's serious.
**[16:29] ---**
She's faster than we thought.
**[16:31] ---**
She's not fighting like
she has in the past either.
**[16:35] ---**
It's mine now!
**[16:40] ---**
Van has his sword once again.
Is he going to cut Brownie in two?
**[16:45] ---**
Van, stop!
**[16:46] ---**
What's that?
**[16:47] ---**
She's right.
**[16:49] ---**
If he ends things too quickly,
the crowd won't get into it.
**[16:51] ---**
This is it!
**[16:53] ---**
You think you can beat me with that?!
**[16:57] ---**
What?
**[16:57] ---**
You have to hit me for it to count.
**[17:01] ---**
Here I come!
**[17:08] ---**
Pricilla!
**[17:12] ---**
He hit her full strength.
Does that settle it?
**[17:15] ---**
No, it's not over yet!
**[17:16] ---**
Brownie's standing. She's standing up!
**[17:19] ---**
Sure she does. She's really something.
**[17:22] ---**
The moment I attacked
**[17:24] ---**
she kicked the ground
and flung herself backwards.
**[17:28] ---**
I didn't think Armor could do that,
except for the Originals.
**[17:31] ---**
I admit it.
**[17:33] ---**
You and your Armor are definitely strong.
**[17:36] ---**
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
**[17:42] ---**
I've never had this much fun before!
**[17:46] ---**
Brownie's gone into full battle mode
for the first time in this tournament!
**[17:51] ---**
Can you keep up with me, Van?
**[17:53] ---**
I've never seen Pricilla
so happy since Mama died.
**[17:58] ---**
You're interesting.
What did you say your name was?
**[18:03] ---**
It's Pricilla!
**[18:05] ---**
Pricilla? All right. I've got it.
**[18:08] ---**
That guy.
**[18:09] ---**
He's sure to win, right?
**[18:11] ---**
That's the plan.
**[18:13] ---**
Pricilla, there's something
I want to try out.
**[18:17] ---**
Sorry but...
**[18:20] ---**
bear with me for a moment.
**[18:22] ---**
Whenever you want!
**[18:24] ---**
All right, I won't hold back!
**[18:27] ---**
Wow! What a power move!
**[18:30] ---**
But... Brownie's not there!
**[18:35] ---**
There you are!
**[18:36] ---**
You're too slow! The championship is mine!
**[18:45] ---**
Pricilla!
**[18:47] ---**
Did she lose?
**[18:48] ---**
Brownie!
**[18:50] ---**
Does this mean she can no longer fight?
**[18:52] ---**
If she does not take her
fighting stance within 30 seconds
**[18:54] ---**
her defeat becomes final.
**[18:56] ---**
I can't believe that he attacked me
by letting me hurt his own Armor.
**[19:00] ---**
I should have been better equipped.
**[19:03] ---**
Guess I didn't quite make it.
**[19:05] ---**
Gadved, tell me, what am I missing?
**[19:09] ---**
Van, why...?
**[19:11] ---**
Right on time, but it's
not a clear-cut victory.
**[19:14] ---**
Finish her off and destroy her!
**[19:16] ---**
No!
**[19:17] ---**
Wendy!
**[19:19] ---**
It's a job. You can't be sentimental.
**[19:22] ---**
We need to keep quiet.
**[19:23] ---**
Wait! Wait! Which one of you is Brownie?
**[19:27] ---**
What?
**[19:28] ---**
I am the true Rail Works finalist.
I am the owner of the Super Armor!
**[19:35] ---**
I am Zakota!
**[19:37] ---**
Zakota? But...
**[19:40] ---**
Sir, it appears he made it in time, but...
**[19:42] ---**
But it's already almost over!
**[19:44] ---**
Barging onto the field
is against the rules!
**[19:47] ---**
What's this Armor doing?
**[19:48] ---**
That's right!
Don't interfere!
**[19:50] ---**
Get out of here!
**[19:51] ---**
Go home you moron!
It's just about to end!
**[19:53] ---**
Shut up!
**[19:54] ---**
According to the contract,
I'm the finalist!
**[19:57] ---**
Get out of here you imposter!
**[19:58] ---**
Hey, don't talk like that.
**[20:02] ---**
Oh, you're the one from back then!
**[20:06] ---**
Van's an imposter?
**[20:08] ---**
It's a complicated situation,
but I was the alternate.
**[20:11] ---**
Step aside substitute!
It's different this time!
**[20:15] ---**
I'm back as Super-Armor,
and I'm going to settle this thing!
**[20:18] ---**
All right.
**[20:20] ---**
Do whatever you want.
**[20:21] ---**
Pricilla, you can still operate, right?
**[20:23] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:24] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[20:26] ---**
There's no need to wait!
**[20:27] ---**
Well, looks like the fight
is going to resume.
**[20:31] ---**
I'm going to settle this big time!
Super Rolling Attack!
**[20:36] ---**
What's that?
**[20:39] ---**
You've gotta do better than that!
**[20:41] ---**
My technique is going to blow you away!
**[20:43] ---**
Boost... On!
**[20:45] ---**
You're an idiot, aren't you?
**[20:51] ---**
I'm an idiot.
**[20:54] ---**
RWC has ceased functioning.
**[20:56] ---**
Which means,
Team Sister Mama is the champion!
**[21:02] ---**
Way to go!
You did it!
**[21:04] ---**
Thank goodness. Oh, thank goodness!
**[21:07] ---**
What the hell happened?!
Where did my plan go wrong?
**[21:13] ---**
Here's the money they owed
for breaking the contract.
**[21:14] ---**
Oh, I'll hold onto it.
**[21:17] ---**
That's OK. Feel free to use it.
**[21:19] ---**
If he hadn't run out onto the field,
we would have gotten more.
**[21:24] ---**
I'll make up for the shortfall.
**[21:26] ---**
So I'll see you in Missoghi.
**[21:28] ---**
It's the closest place to our destination.
**[21:30] ---**
OK. Oh and how's Joshua?
**[21:34] ---**
I told him where we're
meeting up. He's doing great.
**[21:38] ---**
Kid, you're incredible.
**[21:42] ---**
Van, we should get going.
**[21:44] ---**
Right. Well then...
**[21:47] ---**
You really don't need the prize money?
**[21:50] ---**
I think I'll be all right.
**[21:52] ---**
Well, in that case, you can
eat these along the way.
**[21:57] ---**
Some bread crusts.
**[21:58] ---**
I feel bad...
**[21:59] ---**
But thanks, I'll take them, Pricilla.
**[22:02] ---**
What?
**[22:04] ---**
How did you do that so easily?
**[22:06] ---**
What's the big deal?
It's just some bread crusts.
**[22:08] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[22:09] ---**
You want some?
**[22:10] ---**
No thanks!
**[22:13] ---**
For the first time, we
agree with each other.
**[22:15] ---**
So, where are we going next?
**[22:18] ---**
You didn't hear?
**[22:19] ---**
Sorry.
**[22:22] ---**
I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
**[22:26] ---**
You'll see him again. I'm sure of it.
**[22:28] ---**
Yes, I'll see him again,
and next time I'll win.
**[23:56] ---**
"Neo Originals"
**[23:57] ---**
*From there, Van and I took an airship.*
**[24:01] ---**
*It was the first time I'd ever flown,*
**[24:03] ---**
*and so my heart was
pounding with excitement.*
**[24:06] ---**
*It'd been a while since the two
of us had been alone together,*
**[24:09] ---**
*and that made my heart
flutter a little as well.*
**[24:12] ---**
*I tried to act a little
more grown up that day.*
**[24:17] ---**
*But still, when the night was over,
all hell had broken loose.*

**[01:35] ---**
*The planet "Endless Illusion."*
**[01:38] ---**
*A lost soul's paradise
where savage dreams abound.*
**[01:43] ---**
*Somewhere on this planet*
**[01:44] ---**
*there are people with the same desire.*
**[01:47] ---**
*Only the slightest interaction
causes them to share the same dream.*
**[01:52] ---**
*Meanwhile, there is also
an enemy they must fight.*
**[01:56] ---**
*It is the wall of an endless journey,
towering above like a mountain.*

"Neo Originals"
**[02:11] ---**
Hey, Van.
**[02:13] ---**
What?
**[02:14] ---**
You think we'll find work this way?
**[02:16] ---**
I can't think of anything else to do.
**[02:19] ---**
But we've been at it for two days now,
and I'm running out of money.
**[02:24] ---**
Guess I should have taken
some of Pricilla's money after all.
**[02:27] ---**
Say, how come you remember
Pricilla's name so easily?
**[02:33] ---**
Yeah, good question. I wonder why.
**[02:36] ---**
I don't know!
**[02:40] ---**
It'd be faster if we went to the
casino and made a quick fortune.
**[02:44] ---**
Why not?
**[02:45] ---**
Like I said, we don't have anything to bet.
**[02:48] ---**
But I have a little.
**[02:49] ---**
Then why don't you go?
**[02:51] ---**
I can't go in by myself.
**[02:54] ---**
Oh, really?
**[02:56] ---**
Come on! Put it all on the line.
**[02:59] ---**
It's time for the amazing
turtle race! They're about to run.
**[03:04] ---**
Anyone who hasn't got a ticket
yet, you'd better make it quick.
**[03:07] ---**
Why are we doing this stupid turtle thing?
**[03:08] ---**
Because I don't know how to play roulette.
**[03:11] ---**
The long shot this time
is the walk-on entry five,
**[03:13] ---**
known as "Kameo."
**[03:14] ---**
Keep an eye out for him. Ready. Go!
**[03:20] ---**
Go Kameo!
**[03:27] ---**
Kameo, I bet everything on you!
**[03:34] ---**
If you lose we won't be able to eat!
**[03:38] ---**
Number five's gaining.
**[03:39] ---**
Is it going to be the long shot?
No, number four is pulling away.
**[03:42] ---**
Number four? Number five?
**[03:43] ---**
They're approaching the finish line.
**[03:46] ---**
KA-ME-O!
**[03:48] ---**
Hey, what the hell are you doing?
**[03:50] ---**
If you can't win
**[03:51] ---**
I'm going to make you
into a steak and eat you!
**[03:56] ---**
Goal!
**[04:00] ---**
That's Zonnet Junction there,
and here's Duel Park.
**[04:04] ---**
So if we fly from here, we can
make it almost to Missoghi.
**[04:09] ---**
Say, are we really
going to ride in that thing?
**[04:12] ---**
You want to get there quick, right?
**[04:14] ---**
That's so big...
**[04:17] ---**
It'll fly. Probably.
**[04:18] ---**
Probably?
**[04:19] ---**
They charged so much. It should.
**[04:28] ---**
Excuse me, miss...
**[04:31] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[04:33] ---**
Let me see. Our tickets?
**[04:37] ---**
Oh, I found them. Here you go.
**[04:46] ---**
Birka One, departing on schedule.
**[04:49] ---**
Roger.
**[04:50] ---**
Weather report remains unchanged.
**[04:52] ---**
Take care. Good luck.
**[04:56] ---**
What are you doing?
**[04:57] ---**
I don't like leaving the flying to others.
**[05:00] ---**
I'll take that.
**[05:01] ---**
Excuse me, sir. That's...
**[05:03] ---**
Someone else's I think...
**[05:05] ---**
I'll take that too.
**[05:06] ---**
Uh, that's...
**[05:08] ---**
Don't try and skimp.
**[05:16] ---**
What? Alcohol?
**[05:19] ---**
I don't feel... so good.
**[05:25] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
**[05:27] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[05:32] ---**
Please call me again if anything happens.
**[05:34] ---**
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
**[05:36] ---**
Very well then.
**[05:44] ---**
I swear, he really is a slob.
**[05:50] ---**
I shouldn't have left it open.
**[05:56] ---**
Why did he remember it so easily?
**[06:07] ---**
What the heck is this Armor?
**[06:09] ---**
I told you, didn't I? It's special.
**[06:11] ---**
You didn't have to make
its operation special too.
**[06:14] ---**
What was the owner thinking?
**[06:17] ---**
It has been without a
Rider for 10 years now.
**[06:21] ---**
Then let me have it.
**[06:24] ---**
I could master it in 2 or 3 days.
**[06:27] ---**
We just need you to help
get the maintenance data.
**[06:31] ---**
What for?
**[06:32] ---**
Hey, Elena, did you really bring him here?
**[06:36] ---**
A drifter from the edge of town.
There's no way he'll make it.
**[06:40] ---**
What's this guy trying to say?
**[06:42] ---**
Do you think so? But he's interesting.
**[06:50] ---**
That's enough for today.
Are you OK for tomorrow too?
**[06:53] ---**
Of course.
**[06:54] ---**
Not only is he conscious,
he's got spirit too.
**[06:58] ---**
That voice...
**[06:59] ---**
You're the guy from earlier.
**[07:01] ---**
How's the ride?
**[07:04] ---**
It's the best.
**[07:06] ---**
Let me have this thing.
**[07:08] ---**
You've got a lot of nerve.
**[07:10] ---**
This is the Original Armor.
One of only seven in the world.
**[07:14] ---**
It's the strongest Armor there is.
**[07:16] ---**
The strongest? I like it.
**[07:21] ---**
You're a good talker, but that's about it.
**[07:24] ---**
But we'll need to reconstruct your body
if you're going to use it properly...
**[07:30] ---**
Just like I was.
**[07:32] ---**
Reconstruct? What's that?
**[07:35] ---**
You don't need to do that with me.
I can handle it.
**[07:39] ---**
My name is Gadved.
What's your name, drifter?
**[07:43] ---**
Van!
**[07:44] ---**
Just Van, nothing else.
**[07:46] ---**
In that case, you want to see
if you can become somebody?
**[07:50] ---**
Live here at Original Point.
You seem to have some promise.
**[07:57] ---**
Yes. It's him.
**[08:00] ---**
He took the airship from here.
**[08:02] ---**
I've notified Wo.
**[08:05] ---**
Yes.
**[08:18] ---**
I'm sorry, but that seat is...
**[08:20] ---**
Oh, haven't I seen
you somewhere before?
**[08:24] ---**
Are you making fun of me?
**[08:25] ---**
Oh, Wendy?
**[08:27] ---**
Don't act so surprised.
**[08:29] ---**
What happened?
Where did you get those clothes?
**[08:32] ---**
I called the front desk and borrowed them.
**[08:35] ---**
I felt out of place wearing
my regular clothes here.
**[08:37] ---**
Really?
**[08:39] ---**
Does it look strange?
**[08:41] ---**
Yes.
**[08:43] ---**
No, I mean strange in a good way.
**[08:45] ---**
Some food and milk and all your condiments.
**[08:48] ---**
Condiments?
**[08:49] ---**
All of them.
**[09:01] ---**
Hey, there's something
I've been thinking about.
**[09:04] ---**
What?
**[09:05] ---**
It's a shame you add all
those condiments to your food.
**[09:09] ---**
It is?
**[09:10] ---**
You're wasting a perfectly good meal,
**[09:13] ---**
and if other people were to see...
**[09:15] ---**
All right. I'll be careful.
**[09:19] ---**
You don't have any manners.
**[09:26] ---**
Oh, no. I'm doing it wrong.
**[09:30] ---**
Oh, well, who cares?
**[09:33] ---**
You idiot!
**[09:34] ---**
Sir.
**[09:38] ---**
It's bland!
**[09:42] ---**
What?
**[09:43] ---**
You just show up without even telling me?
**[09:47] ---**
Van?
**[09:48] ---**
We're traveling separately now,
and will meet up along the way.
**[09:51] ---**
What?
**[09:52] ---**
Professor Bucci made it even stronger?
**[10:02] ---**
That thing?
**[10:03] ---**
-Van.
-Yes?
**[10:06] ---**
What are you going to
do after you kill the Claw?
**[10:10] ---**
Is there anything you want to do?
**[10:12] ---**
I don't know.
**[10:13] ---**
Is there any place you want to go?
**[10:16] ---**
No, not really.
**[10:18] ---**
I mean some place you want to live.
**[10:21] ---**
I never thought about it.
**[10:23] ---**
Once you settle things with your brother,
you'll go back to that town, right?
**[10:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:29] ---**
I don't have a place like that.
**[10:33] ---**
You should definitely go back.
**[10:35] ---**
Once you've finished this thing,
you can grow up there in peace.
**[10:40] ---**
That's impossible for me.
**[10:43] ---**
No matter how old I get,
I can never grow up.
**[10:51] ---**
Mother, I didn't want to come here.
**[10:56] ---**
I had no desire to come to this place,
where your life came to an end.
**[11:01] ---**
To this castle where you
died for your ideals.
**[11:04] ---**
But I had to come to carry out
my mission to fulfill his dream!
**[11:12] ---**
Won't you please give me some praise...
**[11:14] ---**
Mother!
**[11:23] ---**
Today, William Will Wo is even stronger
**[11:27] ---**
and sadder than he was before.
**[11:33] ---**
I'll be back.
**[11:38] ---**
Sorry to make you wait.
**[11:40] ---**
I brought you some good bread.
**[11:43] ---**
It's only because of you that...
**[11:45] ---**
Oh shoot!
**[11:47] ---**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[11:50] ---**
Van.
**[12:03] ---**
What's the weather report?
**[12:05] ---**
There may be some rain or snow in Gano.
**[12:07] ---**
No other changes.
**[12:08] ---**
Very well.
**[12:10] ---**
We'll use the Delta route.
Echo and Alpha are...
**[12:13] ---**
Captain, looks like we've
got some Armor up ahead.
**[12:16] ---**
Armor?
**[12:18] ---**
To the airship currently in flight,
land immediately.
**[12:23] ---**
I want you to hand over
one of your passengers.
**[12:26] ---**
A man named "Van."
**[12:30] ---**
I hope that you will
respond quickly to my request.
**[12:32] ---**
I have only one objective: Van.
**[12:35] ---**
Captain, I propose we change course.
**[12:38] ---**
He won't be able to attack
from that distance either.
**[12:41] ---**
What's the matter?
**[12:42] ---**
You don't feel like following instructions?
**[12:45] ---**
That's not an option.
**[12:51] ---**
Van! Van, wake up!
**[12:57] ---**
What are you going to do?!
**[12:58] ---**
He asked for me.
**[13:04] ---**
Answer me by the time
I count down from 10.
**[13:07] ---**
What did he do?
**[13:07] ---**
Ten, nine, eight...
**[13:09] ---**
I don't know. All I saw was a light come on.
**[13:11] ---**
Van!
**[13:11] ---**
Seven, six...
**[13:11] ---**
Go on ahead! I'll catch up soon.
**[13:37] ---**
Hey Van! Don't you need money?
**[13:40] ---**
And the meet-up point...
**[13:44] ---**
Good morning. I'm "Van of the Dawn."
**[13:47] ---**
My name is William Will Wo.
**[13:49] ---**
Son of Ku Kryeng Kru, as well as
one of the newly-formed Original 7.
**[13:55] ---**
You're the one from that time?
**[13:59] ---**
You've come to avenge Gadved's death?
**[14:01] ---**
I do not possess such base sentiments.
**[14:05] ---**
My mission is to lay to rest
those who trouble my Comrade.
**[14:10] ---**
For that alone... I swear
and die by my sword!
**[14:15] ---**
Wake up, Metsä.
**[14:20] ---**
Get a load of you.
**[14:22] ---**
But if you're an Original 7,
this works out great.
**[14:25] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[14:29] ---**
There's something I want to make sure of.
**[14:32] ---**
I'm going to try something out on you!
**[14:36] ---**
Try something out? On me?
**[14:39] ---**
You must be joking.
**[14:40] ---**
You don't think this is a game, do you?
**[14:43] ---**
You'll find out when I do it.
**[14:46] ---**
Very well.
**[14:52] ---**
Not bad.
**[15:03] ---**
Wo asked us to.
We handed it over to the staff.
**[15:07] ---**
Thank you, Carossa.
**[15:09] ---**
He stayed behind.
**[15:11] ---**
He said...
**[15:14] ---**
he was going to get
rid of an obstacle for you.
**[15:16] ---**
Really? I'm happy to hear that.
**[15:20] ---**
So we'll leave that to Wo,
**[15:22] ---**
and I'd like for both of
you to get some rest.
**[15:24] ---**
You must be tired.
**[15:26] ---**
I'm not tired. The train was boring.
**[15:29] ---**
I'm OK.
**[15:30] ---**
Sir, Wo's probably facing
the man who killed Gadved.
**[15:35] ---**
Yes, that very well could be.
**[15:37] ---**
Please let me go!
**[15:39] ---**
I want to be the one to
avenge Gadved's death!
**[15:42] ---**
That's not fair! Send me!
**[15:44] ---**
I want to help Comrade by killing him.
**[15:47] ---**
If Carossa goes, I want to go too.
**[15:49] ---**
No! I should do it.
**[15:51] ---**
I will. Me and Melissa.
**[15:53] ---**
You got that, new guy?
**[15:55] ---**
We're the ones...
**[15:56] ---**
Carossa.
**[15:58] ---**
I finally managed to get the poison
out of that flower and make it safe.
**[16:03] ---**
Please pin it to your chest to at
least give some meaning to its life.
**[16:07] ---**
Yes sir.
**[16:10] ---**
Michael.
**[16:11] ---**
Yes.
**[16:13] ---**
There's no need for people to take revenge
**[16:15] ---**
or try to prove themselves anymore.
**[16:18] ---**
There's only one way
**[16:19] ---**
the world is going to become
a much more beautiful place,
**[16:22] ---**
and that's by you doing
what you're supposed to do,
**[16:24] ---**
when you're supposed to do it.
**[16:26] ---**
Gadved knew that.
**[16:29] ---**
So does Wo.
**[16:31] ---**
So why don't we all wait for him to return?
**[16:35] ---**
Yes.
**[16:36] ---**
The rescue party will be coming any moment.
**[16:38] ---**
We will be standing by until then,
**[16:40] ---**
so please follow the
instructions of those in charge,
**[16:41] ---**
Oh, Van.
**[16:46] ---**
What was that?
Your Armor must be weeping!
**[16:48] ---**
Oh really?
**[16:49] ---**
Then how's this?
**[16:57] ---**
You are...
**[16:58] ---**
Now fly on up and I'll cut you to pieces.
**[17:05] ---**
Hey, is it over?
**[17:08] ---**
I can't tell from this.
You're not giving me any challenge.
**[17:12] ---**
Challenge? I see.
**[17:15] ---**
You really don't understand, do you?
**[17:19] ---**
You move well for someone who was
never lectured on the fundamentals.
**[17:22] ---**
You must have talent,
**[17:24] ---**
but our talent is even superior to that.
**[17:28] ---**
We don't need to be reconstructed,
**[17:30] ---**
or have electro-neuro
amplification in order to operate.
**[17:34] ---**
As you see, we can also
use additional fixtures.
**[17:37] ---**
You see now, don't you?
**[17:39] ---**
This is a new possibility that's
being born here on this planet.
**[17:43] ---**
Your old-type Armor is
the same as Gadved's,
**[17:46] ---**
it's just a relic from another age.
**[17:49] ---**
What are you so happy about?
**[17:53] ---**
What's the matter, old-type?
**[17:59] ---**
I'm inexperienced.
**[18:01] ---**
Even while I've been
given an important role,
**[18:03] ---**
I'm swayed by immediate feelings.
**[18:05] ---**
Could someone like me really
be of any use to our Comrade?
**[18:10] ---**
Michael, you said you wanted to avenge
Gadved's death by killing his enemy.
**[18:16] ---**
But your younger sister, Wendy,
is right beside that enemy.
**[18:21] ---**
She's still with him?
**[18:22] ---**
If she were to stand in our Comrade's way,
**[18:25] ---**
could you kill your own sister?
**[18:29] ---**
I could.
**[18:30] ---**
No you couldn't.
**[18:32] ---**
You're still unsure of yourself.
**[18:35] ---**
So you still can't do it now.
**[18:38] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[18:40] ---**
But...
**[18:44] ---**
You know what you have to do.
**[18:47] ---**
You waver, but you want to do what's right.
**[18:51] ---**
Fasalina... I want to be strong.
**[18:55] ---**
I'll make it so you have time to do so.
**[19:00] ---**
I'm going to make you a man.
**[19:06] ---**
Chesto!
**[19:07] ---**
Don't treat me like I'm Gadved!
**[19:09] ---**
Why?
**[19:10] ---**
Why isn't it working
like it did with Gadved?
**[19:15] ---**
What are you doing?
**[19:18] ---**
You never see the big picture
**[19:21] ---**
and you don't keep
your eye on your opponent.
**[19:24] ---**
That is to say,
**[19:26] ---**
you've never even looked
at your own life in the face!
**[19:30] ---**
And yet I had to come here.
**[19:33] ---**
What are you talking about? Che!
**[19:39] ---**
He's still at it?
**[19:48] ---**
I didn't want to come...
**[19:51] ---**
and yet you called me here.
**[19:54] ---**
To this place.
**[19:56] ---**
And so I came. I came here.
**[20:00] ---**
Do you know what that means?
**[20:03] ---**
It means I've...
**[20:05] ---**
I've transcended myself in
order to serve my Comrade!
**[20:11] ---**
That's utterly impossible for you.
**[20:14] ---**
You, who've deceived yourself
into believing that you're fearless,
**[20:17] ---**
and allowed momentary passions
to rob you of your own life!
**[20:22] ---**
Prepare to know what you really are.
**[20:28] ---**
That you've been seized
with terror for the first time.
**[20:32] ---**
Here you go.
**[20:34] ---**
What?
**[20:35] ---**
You're going to make us all
depressed if you keep looking like that.
**[20:40] ---**
Hey, am I really depressed?
**[20:44] ---**
You're worried about Van, aren't you?
**[20:48] ---**
I guess maybe I am.
**[20:51] ---**
Why don't you go check up on him?
You can take the hover-base.
**[20:54] ---**
But what about you all?
**[20:56] ---**
We've got the prize money,
**[20:57] ---**
and I really have wanted
to try to run the farm.
**[21:00] ---**
Go on, sis.
**[21:02] ---**
I've learned how to do the laundry.
Little Yo can help out too.
**[21:06] ---**
Yeah!
**[21:07] ---**
But...
**[21:08] ---**
It's not like you to hesitate, Pricilla.
**[21:11] ---**
Why don't you go after him and
come back when you're satisfied?
**[21:14] ---**
We'll be fine, sis!
**[21:16] ---**
Go on!
Yeah, go! I can help out too!
**[21:18] ---**
We can raise the cattle!
**[21:20] ---**
You should try to do
what you want sometimes!
**[21:23] ---**
Sure, all right.
**[21:25] ---**
I don't know where
I'll meet up with him, but...
**[21:27] ---**
Hello!
**[21:29] ---**
That's a great hover-base. Is it yours?
**[21:33] ---**
Yes, but...
**[21:35] ---**
My name's Joshua.
**[21:40] ---**
You coward!
**[21:49] ---**
Wow, they're really here.
**[21:52] ---**
I guess that's OK.
**[21:53] ---**
The more people we
have on our side the better.
**[21:56] ---**
Van will be happy too.
**[22:03] ---**
Good, it looks like it's over.
**[22:06] ---**
We need to hurry and...
**[22:28] ---**
Hey, Van...
**[23:56] ---**
"The Electric Fireworks"
**[23:57] ---**
*When I first met Van,
he was a hero to me.*
**[24:01] ---**
*A hero who saved my town.*
**[24:04] ---**
*But as we traveled together,*
**[24:06] ---**
*I began to see how
thoughtless and irresponsible he was.*
**[24:10] ---**
*And that night, the Van
lying there in front of me was*
**[24:13] ---**
*a Van who'd been stripped
and left with nothing to hide.*
**[24:16] ---**
*How very sweet and precious
he looked when he was like that.*

*The planet "Endless Illusion,"*
**[01:39] ---**
*a lost soul's paradise
where savage dreams abound.*
**[01:44] ---**
*There's a mountain
standing in the journey's way.*
**[01:46] ---**
*Tall, steep, cold, and unforgiving.*
**[01:50] ---**
*The demon spirit dwelling there
tears the travelers' dreams to pieces,*
**[01:53] ---**
*and sends them down to the land of defeat.*

"The Electric Fireworks"
**[02:05] ---**
Now then, what shall I do with you?
**[02:09] ---**
I could hack you to pieces
as an example for others.
**[02:11] ---**
Or should I...
**[02:17] ---**
Could an old-type like you
have possibly injured me?
**[02:23] ---**
Very well.
**[02:24] ---**
Taking a life for no reason runs
contrary to my Comrade's plan.
**[02:28] ---**
I only need to get rid of
the things which trouble him.
**[02:33] ---**
I'll give you 3 days. I want
you gone from here by then.
**[02:37] ---**
And don't ever come after my Comrade again.
**[02:43] ---**
Van! Van!
**[02:45] ---**
Hey, can you hear me? Say something, Van!
**[02:49] ---**
Van, come on!
**[02:50] ---**
You're OK, right?
**[02:52] ---**
You can hear me, can't you? Answer me!
**[02:55] ---**
Hey, look! I brought your puzzle!
**[02:58] ---**
So you can't just lie here and sleep!
**[03:01] ---**
You can have whatever you want to eat!
**[03:03] ---**
So answer me, Van!
**[03:07] ---**
Van!
**[03:26] ---**
Mother! Mother!
**[03:29] ---**
I'm back, Mother.
**[03:33] ---**
Please be happy. I've triumphed!
**[03:37] ---**
I've utterly destroyed the people
who wanted to interfere with him.
**[03:42] ---**
Van is probably running away
with his tail between his legs right now.
**[03:46] ---**
William has carried out his mission!
**[03:53] ---**
I see.
**[03:54] ---**
Mother, I have to make a revision
to the report I just gave you.
**[04:00] ---**
But even so, I will settle this matter
**[04:02] ---**
3 days from now, on the
anniversary of your death.
**[04:26] ---**
I'm fine.
**[04:48] ---**
I'm alive.
**[05:04] ---**
Hey.
**[05:10] ---**
Wendy?
**[05:14] ---**
You're awake.
**[05:16] ---**
Sorry, I fell asleep by mistake.
**[05:21] ---**
Damn it. What do I do?
**[05:24] ---**
There must be something. Anything!
**[05:25] ---**
Hello? Is anybody here?
**[05:27] ---**
I need a doctor.
**[05:37] ---**
Sorry.
**[05:39] ---**
I don't know what kind of god you are...
**[05:41] ---**
but I need all the food
and medicine immediately.
**[06:33] ---**
Sleep.
**[06:34] ---**
But...
**[06:35] ---**
You've still got a fever.
**[06:39] ---**
There must have been someone else here.
**[06:42] ---**
No. It's mechanized.
**[06:45] ---**
I see.
**[06:46] ---**
There's no one here.
But then what's it ringing for?
**[06:52] ---**
The day after tomorrow...
**[06:58] ---**
Don't worry. I'll think of something.
**[07:05] ---**
You left it on the airship.
It's important, right?
**[07:08] ---**
It's nothing all that special.
**[07:11] ---**
It's OK now. Go to sleep.
**[07:13] ---**
I'm gonna go look for something to eat.
**[07:16] ---**
Oh, you can drink that
water there if you want.
**[07:18] ---**
All right then.
**[07:20] ---**
Van.
**[07:22] ---**
Don't overdo it.
**[07:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:31] ---**
There's nothing.
**[07:34] ---**
I could use Dann.
**[07:37] ---**
Still haven't finished your repairs yet?
**[07:40] ---**
What's that? Damaged the exterior, did you?
**[07:44] ---**
I was trying to get him
to walk and I stumbled.
**[07:46] ---**
I'll get it right tomorrow.
**[07:47] ---**
That's not gonna happen.
**[07:49] ---**
We're launching him tomorrow.
Wait until the next inspection.
**[07:53] ---**
While he's still damaged?
**[07:54] ---**
He repairs automatically.
**[07:56] ---**
What do you mean?
**[07:58] ---**
What would you do with it if it was yours?
**[08:02] ---**
I don't know. Make it
run, transform itself...
**[08:07] ---**
You are like a kid.
**[08:08] ---**
Did I say something wrong?
**[08:12] ---**
Try and solve it.
**[08:13] ---**
I don't want this thing.
**[08:15] ---**
Keep it.
**[08:16] ---**
You could say it's a
kind of training device.
**[08:18] ---**
Is it for Armor?
**[08:20] ---**
It's cause you're still a kid.
**[08:22] ---**
Don't think and try not
to let your mind wander.
**[08:25] ---**
So, you don't want me to use my brain?
**[08:28] ---**
In your case, that's best.
**[08:31] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[08:33] ---**
Van, have you ever truly
thought that you might die?
**[08:45] ---**
Mother, until today, I sought to have you.
**[08:50] ---**
Your voice, your smile, your warmth.
**[08:55] ---**
But you...
**[08:59] ---**
I was jealous of him.
**[09:02] ---**
The man you adored so much.
**[09:05] ---**
I was so jealous I wanted to kill him!
**[09:10] ---**
That's why I did it.
**[09:15] ---**
I was a fool.
**[09:17] ---**
To be loved, first I have to love.
**[09:21] ---**
You taught me that yourself.
And yet even so I...
**[09:32] ---**
That's right.
**[09:33] ---**
If I had loved my father,
I could reach you.
**[09:36] ---**
That's why now, for the
sake of my mission...
**[09:42] ---**
Goodbye, Mother
**[09:46] ---**
Comrade, I don't mean to interfere but...
**[09:50] ---**
Might I suggest, even now,
that you tell Wo to kill that man?
**[09:56] ---**
"The Time of Happiness" is near at hand.
**[09:59] ---**
I believe, perhaps it would be wise
to get rid of any causes for concern.
**[10:03] ---**
-Michael.
-Yes.
**[10:05] ---**
Don't you think it's up to the world
to be the judge of those things?
**[10:10] ---**
I'm sure Wo is aware of that.
**[10:15] ---**
With or without your concern,
**[10:17] ---**
if the flower is mistaken,
it will fall all by itself.
**[10:22] ---**
I'm sorry. I was out of line.
**[10:25] ---**
Please don't let it bother you.
**[10:27] ---**
I enjoy our talks, and I want
you to gain all sorts of experience.
**[10:32] ---**
Experience?
**[10:33] ---**
Yes.
**[10:35] ---**
I want you to gain experience and
learn to be brave enough to abandon it.
**[10:39] ---**
Someday I'm sure you'll understand.
**[10:45] ---**
Sorry, same thing as yesterday.
**[10:47] ---**
No, that's OK.
**[10:49] ---**
The only place that had anything that
looked edible was the woods in back.
**[10:52] ---**
Don't worry so much.
**[10:55] ---**
You've still got a fever?
**[11:00] ---**
Why are you being so kind?
**[11:03] ---**
I don't know. I wonder why.
**[11:10] ---**
I'm gonna search for more in the woods.
**[11:42] ---**
Why? Why?!
**[11:45] ---**
All I need to do is to go over
there and cut him to pieces now!
**[11:49] ---**
That's what I've always done in the past.
**[11:52] ---**
If I don't, then Elena's death will...
**[12:07] ---**
Tomorrow.
**[12:14] ---**
Wendy! Wake up, Wendy!
**[12:17] ---**
We gotta get out of here, right now!
**[12:20] ---**
If we leave now, he won't find us.
**[12:23] ---**
It's gonna take a while
before Dann's completely repaired.
**[12:25] ---**
And I'm not well, either.
**[12:27] ---**
Besides, if we fight, you might
end up getting caught in the middle.
**[12:30] ---**
The important thing is
to get to the meet up point.
**[12:32] ---**
If we cross the mountain,
we'll find a doctor.
**[12:36] ---**
We can't afford to sit
around here wasting time.
**[12:38] ---**
Right?
**[12:43] ---**
Go.
**[12:45] ---**
Leave me here and go on ahead.
**[12:47] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[12:49] ---**
You can't hide it from me.
**[12:52] ---**
If you're gonna run away,
then run away by yourself.
**[13:04] ---**
I've been on my own ever since I was born.
**[13:08] ---**
I don't know who my parents
were or what happened to them.
**[13:13] ---**
The only thing I thought about was eating,
**[13:15] ---**
and all I needed for that
was money and strength.
**[13:20] ---**
For me, the world was simple...
**[13:23] ---**
until I met Elena.
**[13:26] ---**
I was just supposed to be
someone she worked with.
**[13:32] ---**
Supposed to be.
**[13:34] ---**
But she was...
**[13:36] ---**
kind to me.
**[13:40] ---**
Until then, I was punched
and kicked and spat on.
**[13:46] ---**
But I'd still beat the
hell out of those people.
**[13:50] ---**
That's what other people were to me.
**[13:54] ---**
But even so, Elena took me by the hand.
**[13:59] ---**
I realized how miserable
I'd been up 'til then.
**[14:05] ---**
I thought she was going to help change me.
**[14:08] ---**
And so that's why... Gadved too...
**[14:11] ---**
Elena was... I liked her.
**[14:16] ---**
I really liked her.
**[14:19] ---**
The only thing I wanted was to be with her.
**[14:24] ---**
She told me she'd be with me.
**[14:28] ---**
She said she'd live with me.
**[14:31] ---**
And yet, we weren't able to.
**[14:35] ---**
I wasn't able to protect her.
**[14:38] ---**
I'd finally found the
most important thing...
**[14:43] ---**
I can't do anything! I'm just alive.
**[14:46] ---**
They even reconstructed
me so I could ride Dann.
**[14:48] ---**
But it's no use!
**[14:49] ---**
The only thing to do is run away.
There's no other option, is there?!
**[14:53] ---**
But what's wrong with that?
What's wrong with just being alive?!
**[14:57] ---**
What more do they want from me?!
**[14:59] ---**
Tell me!
**[15:03] ---**
Run away.
**[15:04] ---**
Run away somewhere. We'll say goodbye here.
**[15:09] ---**
Don't worry. No one's going to blame you.
**[15:14] ---**
But I'm going.
**[15:16] ---**
Even if I get killed in the process,
I want to go forward.
**[15:18] ---**
Even if I only make it
a tiny bit closer to my brother,
**[15:20] ---**
I want to see if the path I chose is right.
**[15:23] ---**
Van, you're the one who taught me.
**[15:37] ---**
What's the matter?
**[15:38] ---**
Can't you try and look even a little happy?
**[15:41] ---**
But we're doing that
thing again, aren't we?
**[15:43] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[15:45] ---**
I've had enough of this one.
The test we did before is plenty.
**[15:48] ---**
Not again. All you do is lie.
**[15:50] ---**
Lie?
**[15:52] ---**
Even if you try to hide it, I can tell.
**[15:54] ---**
You're happy that you'll be able
to ride Dann again, aren't you?
**[15:56] ---**
That's ridiculous!
**[15:58] ---**
You try and hide your feelings
whenever you get close to someone.
**[16:03] ---**
Why don't you try being
a little more honest?
**[16:05] ---**
I'm sure it'll change you somehow.
**[16:08] ---**
It's too late for me to change now.
**[16:10] ---**
Well then, I'll help you.
**[16:22] ---**
Elena, it seems I don't want to die.
**[16:26] ---**
Wendy says so too.
**[16:27] ---**
I'm running away.
I'm through with vengeance.
**[16:32] ---**
And with you as well.
**[16:34] ---**
But the reason I am who I am now,
is because you helped me.
**[16:40] ---**
You only exist within me now.
**[16:44] ---**
Together with me...
**[16:47] ---**
Together?
**[16:48] ---**
But that means...
**[17:21] ---**
Elena! I love you!
**[17:23] ---**
I'm head over heels in
love with you, Elena!
**[17:43] ---**
I will now confirm.
You may withdraw just as you are.
**[17:47] ---**
But if you intend to oppose me,
**[17:50] ---**
my Metsä will rid you from these lands.
**[17:53] ---**
Go ahead. Do whatever you want.
**[17:56] ---**
If you want to cut me, cut me.
If you want to kill me, kill me.
**[17:59] ---**
But there is one thing that
neither you, nor anyone else, can do.
**[18:04] ---**
Separate me from Elena.
**[18:07] ---**
You've reached your decision?
**[18:13] ---**
Van.
**[18:14] ---**
Forgive me Father, for I take a life.
**[18:24] ---**
That's it!
**[18:26] ---**
I get it! I mustn't try
to control it so hard.
**[18:30] ---**
Like the way Pricilla is with her Armor.
**[18:32] ---**
Is that what you meant, Gadved,
when you told me "Don't think"?
**[18:35] ---**
I am Dann! That's it.
That's what you meant!
**[18:41] ---**
Face this way, you fool.
**[18:47] ---**
What's your problem?
You're still waiting to attack?
**[18:52] ---**
Bravo. Well done.
**[18:54] ---**
You've learned the electromagnetic shield.
**[18:56] ---**
Oh, is that what it's called?
You're a real chum.
**[19:00] ---**
Don't mock me!
**[19:02] ---**
But it doesn't always work!
**[19:07] ---**
I guess I just got lucky...
**[19:10] ---**
but who cares.
**[19:12] ---**
Say, Elena, how about we
live a little longer?
**[19:20] ---**
What's going on?
**[19:22] ---**
What happened to him
in just three short days?
**[19:25] ---**
I wonder if it's love.
**[19:27] ---**
You too?
**[19:30] ---**
Very well.
**[19:31] ---**
Then you shall fall before my love!
**[19:34] ---**
Love! Mission!
**[19:43] ---**
You! Remove those filthy
legs from my castle!
**[19:48] ---**
I don't want to. You'll have to make me.
**[19:56] ---**
Get off my sanctuary,
**[19:58] ---**
you defective reconstructed human failure!
**[20:04] ---**
I'm not done yet!
I'll skewer you from head to foot.
**[20:11] ---**
It can't be!
**[20:12] ---**
Sorry. It was a real pain catching you.
**[20:18] ---**
That's still not enough
to splinter my love!
**[20:21] ---**
That's why I abandoned my mother! For him!
**[20:25] ---**
Then you don't have a chance.
**[20:27] ---**
I can't be stopped by
someone who abandons others.
**[20:30] ---**
You're wrong!
**[20:31] ---**
Abandoning my mother only
served to help fulfill her dream!
**[20:37] ---**
Chesto!
**[20:42] ---**
My Metsä!
**[21:08] ---**
Why? Why did this happen?
**[21:14] ---**
No! I can't shed this blood for no reason!
**[21:17] ---**
This blood...
**[21:19] ---**
I offer all of it to him.
**[21:22] ---**
To him... to him...
**[21:25] ---**
I offer it to him!
**[21:36] ---**
Comrade, Wo is...
**[21:38] ---**
his vital signs are gone.
**[21:42] ---**
Oh really?
**[21:44] ---**
Comrade, I...
**[21:46] ---**
There's no need to worry.
We have blood in stock.
**[21:50] ---**
Right now, we should be thankful
to Wo for delaying them for us.
**[21:56] ---**
Can I really have it?
**[21:59] ---**
Yeah, it's yours. In exchange I...
**[22:01] ---**
I know. About last night...
**[22:03] ---**
It was a dream.
**[22:05] ---**
Right.
**[22:07] ---**
Is it OK for me to put the puzzle
back to the way it was before?
**[22:09] ---**
I'd rather you hang it around your neck.
**[22:12] ---**
It suits you much better than a turtle.
**[22:15] ---**
You don't have to put it so harshly.
**[22:18] ---**
No, it's just...
**[22:20] ---**
I wanted to say something before but...
**[22:24] ---**
What?
**[22:27] ---**
I don't like turtles.
**[22:31] ---**
You don't?
**[22:32] ---**
Sorry.
**[23:56] ---**

*That was the end of our
just-the-two-of-us journey.*
**[24:00] ---**
*From there on out,
we were all together again.*
**[24:03] ---**
*Yes, Carmen, and Joshua, and all the rest.*
**[24:08] ---**
*All of a sudden things
got a lot more lively.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Van was even more
confused than I was.*
**[24:13] ---**
*We met up in the town
of Missoghi. Do you know it?*
**[24:17] ---**
*At that time, it was a most unusual place.*

*a lost soul's paradise

"Follow the X Spot"
**[02:09] ---**
Come on, Palikare!
**[02:11] ---**
Once we get out of the woods,
we'll almost be at the meeting spot.
**[02:16] ---**
It's great we've got
Palikare with us, isn't it, Van?
**[02:20] ---**
You were tricked into buying him.
**[02:22] ---**
That's not true.
**[02:24] ---**
We don't have to walk
and he can carry our stuff.
**[02:27] ---**
He's useful all around...
**[02:29] ---**
Hey, are we floating?
**[02:31] ---**
Welcome, Amigo.
**[02:33] ---**
Y-You are...
**[02:37] ---**
It's been a while.
**[02:38] ---**
Right, it's Nero!
**[02:40] ---**
Jose here.
**[02:41] ---**
Why?
**[02:43] ---**
We came to meet you.
**[02:45] ---**
Geez, you could at least say "thanks."
**[02:47] ---**
You weren't waiting for us
by any chance, were you?
**[02:50] ---**
Yep. In the hover base over here.
**[02:53] ---**
You're the last ones to arrive.
**[02:54] ---**
That's why we were able to make
some final adjustments to this.
**[02:57] ---**
Since we've upgraded from "Five" to "Soul"
**[02:59] ---**
we have more servicing to do.
**[03:01] ---**
That's why I said we
should bring Bucci along too.
**[03:03] ---**
Stop it! We don't need the guy
who undid the unified system!
**[03:06] ---**
Thanks to him we're able
to walk on two legs!
**[03:09] ---**
Hey, more importantly,
who told you about the meeting place?
**[03:13] ---**
That would be me.
**[03:15] ---**
Huh? Oh, Carul?
**[03:17] ---**
I told you, it's Carmen.
**[03:19] ---**
Why did you tell them?
**[03:22] ---**
I guess they decided to come on their own.
**[03:24] ---**
You could use the extra help, no?
**[03:27] ---**
Help?
**[03:28] ---**
You shouldn't make him drink.
**[03:30] ---**
We didn't. We had him
doing repairs all night.
**[03:34] ---**
Barrio! Yukiko!
**[03:35] ---**
Wendy!
**[03:37] ---**
Wendy! Van!
**[03:39] ---**
What is this? A convention?
**[03:41] ---**
It's me, Joshua!
**[03:44] ---**
Van, you're terrible!
**[03:45] ---**
I didn't mean to...
**[03:46] ---**
Are you OK?
**[03:48] ---**
It really is... Van.
**[03:50] ---**
I thought you were still in the hospital.
**[03:52] ---**
You got here pretty fast.
**[03:54] ---**
He had the hover base's owner bring him.
**[03:58] ---**
Van!
**[04:01] ---**
What? What are you doing here?
**[04:04] ---**
I'm chasing after you.
**[04:06] ---**
Why is that, Pricilla?
**[04:07] ---**
What... because... let's see...
**[04:10] ---**
because you said you wanted a rematch!
**[04:13] ---**
Did I?
**[04:14] ---**
You did!
**[04:19] ---**
So we're all here.
**[04:23] ---**
We have more people than I was expecting.
**[04:26] ---**
Why are there so many people?
**[04:29] ---**
The Claw was originally only my enemy.
**[04:31] ---**
You won't get anywhere by yourself.
**[04:33] ---**
Let's get some help.
**[04:36] ---**
Is that all right?
**[04:37] ---**
Whatever.
**[04:38] ---**
All right, just making sure...
**[04:40] ---**
we're all here to get the Claw, OK?
**[04:44] ---**
You mean kill the bastard, right?
**[04:48] ---**
Leave it to us.
**[04:49] ---**
I'll kill him.
**[04:51] ---**
You needn't bother.
**[04:53] ---**
It seems a nasty group got
Bucci to do that strange research.
**[04:56] ---**
The disciple's enemy is his master's enemy!
**[04:58] ---**
What do you mean, "master"?
**[05:00] ---**
Yukiko?
**[05:01] ---**
I wanted to leave my town at least once.
**[05:04] ---**
For vacation?
**[05:05] ---**
No! It's different now.
**[05:07] ---**
I see. As long as you're prepared.
**[05:10] ---**
What about you? Your
brother's OK, isn't he?
**[05:14] ---**
I want to find out for sure
whether he was right or not.
**[05:18] ---**
Even if there's a chance
he'll become the enemy?
**[05:21] ---**
Yes.
**[05:21] ---**
Pricilla, if you want to
go home, now's the time.
**[05:24] ---**
What?
**[05:26] ---**
But that man's doing
horrible things, isn't he?
**[05:29] ---**
Johanna might get dragged
into this if we don't do anything.
**[05:33] ---**
That's why I'm coming too.
**[05:34] ---**
I'm coming!
**[05:36] ---**
You'll be a great help.
**[05:37] ---**
And the hover base sure
makes things easier.
**[05:39] ---**
Carmen, you're...
**[05:41] ---**
That leaves the problems of
how to get to these coordinates
**[05:45] ---**
and raise funds to replenish our supplies.
**[05:48] ---**
I've done some planning
regarding these issues.
**[05:50] ---**
Mr. Manson?
**[05:53] ---**
We're adding even more people?
**[05:55] ---**
No, no. He's got a job for us.
**[05:58] ---**
He's the leader of the Missoghi
Young Men's Association.
**[06:01] ---**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[06:03] ---**
The coordinates point
towards the ocean, near Missoghi.
**[06:07] ---**
And the only way to get
there is through the port.
**[06:11] ---**
But the area is controlled by
Catherine Nakata, the Queen of Missoghi.
**[06:17] ---**
The Queen of Missoghi?
**[06:18] ---**
Yes.
**[06:19] ---**
She captured the iron works at the port
and created her own private kingdom.
**[06:24] ---**
And so, if we catch
the Queen and open the port...
**[06:29] ---**
Got it.
**[06:30] ---**
I don't like fighting women,
but I'll try to take it easy on them.
**[06:33] ---**
Sorry, but this isn't your show.
**[06:36] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[06:38] ---**
The Kingdom of Missoghi is closed to men.
**[06:41] ---**
Only women can enter.
**[06:43] ---**
Why's that matter? We'll storm
the place and it'll all be over.
**[06:47] ---**
We're not allowed to hurt anyone.
**[06:50] ---**
Some of the Kingdom's
people apparently fled to places
**[06:53] ---**
ruled by tyrannical men.
**[06:54] ---**
That's true for the people
of Missoghi as well.
**[06:56] ---**
So we can't rely on force.
**[06:58] ---**
Ladies, we'll take care of this ourselves.

All right! They have
safely entered the country.
**[07:38] ---**
Hey, shouldn't we go to
Nero and the guys' room?
**[07:42] ---**
Even Manson's over there with them.
**[07:44] ---**
I don't want to. You go.
**[07:46] ---**
I don't want to go either.
**[07:48] ---**
That's for sure.
**[07:49] ---**
I really don't want to.
**[07:52] ---**
The statues by the entrance and
in the back aren't Armor, right?
**[07:55] ---**
I've already made sure. Don't worry.
**[07:58] ---**
Can we just grab
the Queen when we meet her?
**[08:00] ---**
First, we need to see what kind
of defense structure they have.
**[08:04] ---**
Everyone, hurry up and pick a bathing suit.
**[08:07] ---**
Sure.
**[08:08] ---**
But they're all small.
**[08:12] ---**
Look how stretchy this bathing suit is!
**[08:16] ---**
Well, I guess I'll use this one.
**[08:19] ---**
Oh!
**[08:20] ---**
How cute!
**[08:21] ---**
But it's too small in certain places.
**[08:26] ---**
That's how it was designed.
**[08:29] ---**
Aside from that, it's just
right for a child like you.
**[08:31] ---**
Child...?
**[08:33] ---**
Oh, in that case why don't you
get a more revealing one instead?
**[08:36] ---**
Then you'll...
**[08:37] ---**
No, that's OK.
**[08:39] ---**
Then, I'll gather our
clothes and put them in a locker.
**[08:41] ---**
Oops, sorry.
**[08:43] ---**
That bra's kind of plain, isn't it?
**[08:45] ---**
They don't have cute
ones in the countryside.
**[08:47] ---**
Wendy, you still don't wear a bra?
**[08:50] ---**
No...
**[08:52] ---**
You should be fine for now.
**[08:54] ---**
Oh no, I'm kidding.
**[08:58] ---**
Behold... the Queen of Missoghi!
**[09:04] ---**
A crime...
**[09:05] ---**
Beauty is a crime...
**[09:08] ---**
The only bittersweet crime in the world.
**[09:11] ---**
What?
**[09:12] ---**
Is she... all right?
**[09:15] ---**
I wonder if we'll be able to communicate...
**[09:17] ---**
Be quiet.
**[09:20] ---**
So you wish to enter
the Kingdom of Missoghi?
**[09:24] ---**
Yes. That's right.
**[09:25] ---**
We came here after
escaping from a traveling circus
**[09:28] ---**
where the men did
unspeakable things to us...
**[09:33] ---**
Even if we tried to get her...
**[09:34] ---**
she's too far away.
**[09:36] ---**
I'm willing to help you,
**[09:37] ---**
but do you know anything
about metal refinery or textiles?
**[09:43] ---**
We did some mending in the circus...
**[09:45] ---**
I don't care about that!
**[09:47] ---**
What we need here are
specialists or sportswomen!
**[09:51] ---**
If you don't have knowledge,
I'll test your physical strength tomorrow.
**[09:56] ---**
Test?
**[09:57] ---**
Yes!
**[09:58] ---**
An independent woman must be
physically strong enough to survive.
**[10:02] ---**
I'll show you!
**[10:04] ---**
It's called "The Way of the Great Woman...
**[10:07] ---**
The Ferocious Female
Super Current Break Through!"
**[10:12] ---**
♪ Missoghi! ♪
**[10:14] ---**
Is that so...?
**[10:16] ---**
Tomorrow, if your representative
reaches the finish line
**[10:20] ---**
before the Immigration
Inspector, Meliane, you pass.
**[10:23] ---**
I'm Meliane. Nice to meet you.
**[10:25] ---**
We just need to beat her, right?
**[10:27] ---**
Yes.
**[10:28] ---**
At which time I will welcome you myself
**[10:30] ---**
by handing you your
own personal bathing suit.
**[10:33] ---**
But there's a penalty if
you lose, so be prepared.
**[10:36] ---**
Well then, tomorrow it is. Splash!
**[10:42] ---**
Is he sleeping out in the open again?
**[10:45] ---**
Why did he come all
the way here to the coast?
**[10:49] ---**
There are no towns beyond here.
**[10:52] ---**
No... it can't be.
**[10:54] ---**
Maybe I'll dig around a bit.
**[10:57] ---**
OK! There aren't any
listening devices in the room.
**[11:00] ---**
It's scary on the outside,
but inside this place is pretty laid back.
**[11:04] ---**
We can get close to the Queen
by just winning the game.
**[11:07] ---**
What are the rules?
**[11:08] ---**
It's simple. Just like we saw.
**[11:11] ---**
So, let's take a break until dinner
**[11:13] ---**
and then see if we can
come up with a strategy.
**[11:15] ---**
All right.
**[11:16] ---**
Should I tell Van that
we're spending the night here?
**[11:20] ---**
That's all right. Just let him be.
**[11:25] ---**
I'm sure they use it for the factory,
**[11:27] ---**
but they shouldn't pump out so
much of this underground water.
**[11:30] ---**
Oh no! Take a look at this course!
**[11:35] ---**
Maybe we should let them do it.
**[11:37] ---**
No. We can't rely on the men.
**[11:40] ---**
Anyway, we'll just have to win.
**[11:42] ---**
We can capture the Queen
when she gives us the bathing suits.
**[11:45] ---**
But who do we have to compete?
**[11:47] ---**
Meliane looks awfully tough.
**[11:51] ---**
We'll be fine.
**[11:53] ---**
We're sure to win with Pricilla or Carmen!
**[11:55] ---**
Not that I think I'd lose, but...
**[11:58] ---**
In that case, there's no
need to worry, right?
**[12:02] ---**
But... well, you see...
**[12:05] ---**
this contest...
**[12:06] ---**
involves swimming.
**[12:07] ---**
And none of us...
**[12:10] ---**
Not me!
**[12:10] ---**
Can swim.
**[12:11] ---**
What?!
**[12:21] ---**
Van.
**[12:23] ---**
What?
**[12:25] ---**
There's no underwear in the
Kingdom of Missoghi, is there?
**[12:29] ---**
Go to sleep.
**[12:30] ---**
I can't.
**[12:31] ---**
Go to sleep.
**[12:32] ---**
But...
**[12:33] ---**
Go to sleep.
**[12:34] ---**
The underwear...
**[12:35] ---**
There is no underwear.
**[12:36] ---**
Manson...!
**[12:38] ---**
You're drunk.
**[12:40] ---**
Carlos and I were living it up.
**[12:42] ---**
Nero and the others are still...
**[12:44] ---**
But what about the underwear problem?!
**[12:48] ---**
The Queen of Missoghi
is improving bathing suits
**[12:51] ---**
so they can be used as
any type of clothing.
**[12:54] ---**
She wasn't like that in the old days.
**[12:57] ---**
Bathing suits were bathing suits
and underwear was underwear.
**[13:00] ---**
You know the Queen of Missoghi?
**[13:04] ---**
We were...
**[13:05] ---**
Yes.
**[13:06] ---**
Married.
**[13:09] ---**
Please listen.
**[13:11] ---**
We developed an all-purpose metallic fiber.
**[13:17] ---**
She was incredibly talented.
**[13:19] ---**
We tested metal fatigue with a train,
**[13:22] ---**
checked strength in the
depths of the ocean.
**[13:24] ---**
Finally, we got cooperation
from Bridge City and began
**[13:27] ---**
producing the perfect
clothes we'd always envisioned.
**[13:31] ---**
But... how should I say...
**[13:33] ---**
When it came to men's underwear,
**[13:35] ---**
she had particularly bad taste.
**[13:38] ---**
I told her the truth.
**[13:40] ---**
"Hey, I wouldn't wear that underwear
to a dinner show in hell," I said.
**[13:44] ---**
She got angry.
**[13:46] ---**
I was banished from the factory.
**[13:50] ---**
She came to hate all men,
**[13:53] ---**
and changed the factory into the
"women only" Kingdom of Missoghi.
**[13:56] ---**
So then it was your fault.
**[13:59] ---**
That's right!
**[14:00] ---**
I regret it. If only I'd
said things differently...
**[14:04] ---**
If you really feel that way,
you should settle things yourself.
**[14:09] ---**
You're lucky. Your woman is alive.
**[14:20] ---**
I know.
**[14:21] ---**
It's wrong to still rely on
these trappings of authority.
**[14:25] ---**
Right. People should live more naturally.
**[14:29] ---**
If we got rid of all unnecessary
clothing and just had a single piece
**[14:32] ---**
of metallic fabric,
then we'd feel closer to nature.
**[14:34] ---**
I shall never cease until I reach that day.
**[14:40] ---**
In that case, couldn't we just go naked?
**[14:42] ---**
Then we'd be the same as animals.
**[14:45] ---**
It is using our wisdom and
**[14:46] ---**
technology to create a single
bathing suit that makes us human.
**[14:49] ---**
And only women will be
allowed to benefit from it.
**[14:55] ---**
The item you ordered...
**[14:57] ---**
the strength, elasticity, and
thickness have all been cleared.
**[15:01] ---**
We'll load the samples
and blueprints onto the ship.
**[15:03] ---**
You can customize it yourselves afterwards.
**[15:06] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[15:08] ---**
With this, our dream now
enters its final stage.
**[15:12] ---**
A dream...
**[15:13] ---**
That's fine, I suppose. This is business.
**[15:15] ---**
And we're having a show tomorrow,
if you'd like to come.
**[15:19] ---**
Well, since you're kind enough to offer.
**[15:22] ---**
I hope you'll enjoy it.
**[15:24] ---**
But regardless, don't you have
a more attractive bathing suit?
**[15:28] ---**

**[02:33] ---**
There's been a mistake and all
the money you asked me to deposit
**[02:37] ---**
was contributed to Alphaville's "Over 40

**[04:38] ---**
You always carry this with you?
**[04:40] ---**
I-I get lost easily...
**[04:45] ---**
Hey!
**[04:47] ---**
Carossa?
**[04:49] ---**
Hey, what did you do to Melissa?
**[04:51] ---**
Anyone who makes my sister cry, dies!
**[04:54] ---**
That's not what happened!
**[04:55] ---**
She was in trouble.
**[04:58] ---**
Here, it's fixed.
**[05:04] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:05] ---**
Melissa!
**[05:07] ---**
Don't talk to him.
**[05:09] ---**
Carossa...
**[05:10] ---**
If there's something you
want to say, please say it.
**[05:13] ---**
Have I done something to upset you?
**[05:18] ---**
Everything.
**[05:20] ---**
Melissa!
**[05:27] ---**
I found it!
**[05:29] ---**
I found the dressing room
and all our clothes!
**[05:33] ---**
Thank goodness. I left
the key for this thing there.
**[05:37] ---**
Manson, after this we want
to go shopping in Missoghi.
**[05:41] ---**
I see. I'll make sure the store's open.
**[05:44] ---**
Take care, Palikare.
**[05:46] ---**
Don't worry!
**[05:48] ---**
I'll make him his own bathing
suit and dote on him like a child.
**[05:51] ---**
I see. Good luck, Palikare.
**[05:57] ---**
*Carossa! Have I done
something to upset you?*
**[06:02] ---**
*Everything.*
**[06:03] ---**
*Don't talk to him!*
**[06:06] ---**
*Anyone who makes my sister cry, dies!*
**[06:15] ---**
Oh, no...
**[06:16] ---**
I forgot to take it off.
**[06:19] ---**
Michael's mental and
physical health is stable.
**[06:22] ---**
And, he's completed
his studies of outer space.
**[06:26] ---**
As far as Saudade, we just
need to get the actual work data.
**[06:30] ---**
We don't have any problems.
**[06:31] ---**
Is that right? Michael certainly is...
**[06:34] ---**
There is a problem!
**[06:37] ---**
He was picking on Melissa.
**[06:40] ---**
No! I broke this and he fixed it!
**[06:44] ---**
Why did you say that?
**[06:46] ---**
Melissa!
**[06:47] ---**
Say...
**[06:48] ---**
What are the heavens like, Fasalina?
**[06:52] ---**
They're fine.
**[06:54] ---**
Comrade, won't you
announce the core of your plan
**[06:57] ---**
at the coming meeting?
**[06:59] ---**
Me?
**[07:00] ---**
Yes.
**[07:01] ---**
It's at least a week until
the "Time of Happiness,"
**[07:05] ---**
and a month before the
"Genesis Celebration."
**[07:07] ---**
Every group is almost
finished with their work
**[07:10] ---**
and more and more people
are demanding an explanation.
**[07:14] ---**
Perhaps if Michael had
a deeper understanding...
**[07:18] ---**
Oh, what am I going to do?
**[07:21] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[07:23] ---**
Do I have to?
**[07:25] ---**
I thought you knew I hated
that sort of thing.
**[07:28] ---**
It's embarrassing, isn't it?
**[07:32] ---**
That's not going to cut it.
**[07:34] ---**
We still don't have many sympathizers.
We need to be careful.
**[07:38] ---**
Some people are
suspicious about my transfer.
**[07:41] ---**
Wait any longer and we'll be in danger.
**[07:42] ---**
Even without a leader?
In order to preserve the organization...
**[07:46] ---**
Then why don't you do it?
**[07:47] ---**
If you don't want to, try to get
the missing Original 7 member to.
**[07:51] ---**
In any case, our Comrade must be replaced.
**[08:01] ---**
Huh? The balance has grown.
**[08:03] ---**
What would you like to do?
You said the total amount, but...
**[08:06] ---**
No, this will be fine.
**[08:09] ---**
Wendy, you think it'll be much longer?
**[08:11] ---**
If it's all right,
we'll just go on ahead ourselves.
**[08:14] ---**
I'm coming! I'm coming! Everything's fine!
**[08:16] ---**
Um, if we don't go shopping...
**[08:20] ---**
Um... can you hear me?
**[08:26] ---**
It's pretty much the
same as in the Kingdom.
**[08:29] ---**
They were the same town originally and...
**[08:31] ---**
Wendy!
**[08:33] ---**
If you're wearing one for the first time,
how about this one?
**[08:36] ---**
No! It's too risque!
And we need to save our money!
**[08:40] ---**
Really? But it's rather
plain compared to Carmen's.
**[08:43] ---**
Carmen wears that kind?
**[08:45] ---**
Uh-huh. I saw before.
**[08:47] ---**
Not again.
**[08:49] ---**
I don't feel like I've eaten.
**[08:52] ---**
All right, let's get down to business.
Where did Fasalina come from?
**[08:55] ---**
I'm not sure. But she
used a submarine tunnel
**[08:58] ---**
so I imagine their
headquarters is somewhere out there.
**[09:01] ---**
Tunnel? There's an entrance there?
**[09:04] ---**
Yes, the coordinates are on this memo.
**[09:07] ---**
You need a key to open the entrance,
so I don't know what's inside.
**[09:11] ---**
What was it that she wanted from you?
**[09:13] ---**
Oh, well...
**[09:16] ---**
Hey.
**[09:19] ---**
She asked me to make a
special metallic fiber.
**[09:22] ---**
Something strong and flexible.
**[09:24] ---**
It especially needed to
be extremely heat resistant.
**[09:27] ---**
But I don't know what
she wanted to use it for.
**[09:33] ---**
Muttaka...
**[09:36] ---**
Saudade...
**[09:38] ---**
Did our Comrade tell you how
Saudade is going to be used?
**[09:42] ---**
He said it's the key to launching his plan.
**[09:45] ---**
After that?
**[09:46] ---**
Do you know what comes
after "The Time of Happiness?"
**[09:49] ---**
He believes that peace and
equality will come to this place.
**[09:55] ---**
I know he's not
understood by the masses
**[09:58] ---**
and may go down in
history as an arbitrary ruler.
**[10:01] ---**
But since we know what he's
going to bring about, we need to...
**[10:05] ---**
That's exactly right!
**[10:07] ---**
I also thought at first that
this was simply world conquest.
**[10:12] ---**
I was ready to be branded a criminal,
**[10:14] ---**
because I knew that power and fear
were the most effective means
**[10:18] ---**
of governing the world now.
**[10:21] ---**
Even if it came to
dictatorship or totalitarianism,
**[10:25] ---**
my own position would be safe,
and public order would be maintained.
**[10:28] ---**
That's what I concluded, so I cooperated.
**[10:32] ---**
But our Comrade's
objective wasn't that simple.
**[10:36] ---**
It was more extreme.
**[10:37] ---**
Perfect peace was only possible
in a world without any people.
**[10:42] ---**
In other words, a massacre.
**[10:46] ---**
In the end, love, harmony, and peace
meant annihilating the human race.
**[10:52] ---**
That's impossible! He would never...
**[10:55] ---**
I analyzed Saudade's functions
and that was the result.
**[10:57] ---**
But...!
**[10:58] ---**
Even your little sister will be sacrificed!
**[11:02] ---**
I've already abandoned my sister
for the sake of a larger dream.
**[11:09] ---**
That's a lie!
**[11:10] ---**
Then why did you ask me to help her?
**[11:15] ---**
Did you discuss it with our Comrade?
With the other "7" members?
**[11:20] ---**
You haven't been completely persuaded yet.
**[11:23] ---**
Still at odds with yourself.
**[11:24] ---**
But it's that very
conflict which gives hope.
**[11:29] ---**
Mr. Garret...
**[11:31] ---**
let's not do this.
**[11:33] ---**
We can stop our Comrade's slaughter
and bring about a new order ourselves.
**[11:38] ---**
New order?
**[11:41] ---**
Chief, who set the Drakul
below to semi-auto?
**[11:45] ---**
Hey, why is...
**[11:52] ---**
Just like Muttaka said...
**[11:54] ---**
it's much quicker using power and fear.
**[11:57] ---**
You're...
**[11:58] ---**
It's a peaceful way,
compared to our Comrade.
**[12:08] ---**
Coup d'etat?
**[12:09] ---**
Yes, Chief Muttaka and a number
of others in the control room.
**[12:13] ---**
There's already been one casualty
and they've taken Michael hostage.
**[12:18] ---**
Michael?
**[12:19] ---**
They want to negotiate with you directly.
**[12:23] ---**
I see.
**[12:25] ---**
First, we'll have our Comrade tell
everyone the details of his plan.
**[12:29] ---**
We'll see what happens and then decide
whether to stay or make a run for it.
**[12:32] ---**
Drakul is ready for our escape if need be.
**[12:35] ---**
We should take care of him first.
**[12:38] ---**
I will not be taken hostage.
I'll kill myself!
**[12:40] ---**
Do that and what about Saudade?
**[12:43] ---**
It's set for your exclusive use.
**[12:46] ---**
It would need to be reconfigured in
order for another "7" member to ride it.
**[12:49] ---**
And our Comrade isn't
strong enough physically.
**[12:52] ---**
In any case, without you and Saudade,
there can be no "Time of Happiness."
**[12:58] ---**
However, I don't want you to do that,
**[13:01] ---**
since our goal is to stop the massacre.
**[13:05] ---**
Our Comrade would never...
**[13:07] ---**
Our Comrade... do you
know what his name is?
**[13:11] ---**
Why doesn't our organization have a name?
**[13:14] ---**
There's no thought as to how things
will be after he's carried out his plan.
**[13:18] ---**
It's ridiculous.
**[13:20] ---**
The organization will need to
be realigned under a new leader.
**[13:25] ---**
And that new leader is you!
**[13:28] ---**
You're the reason that I was
able to complete Saudade.
**[13:34] ---**
Because you're the only one I believed
**[13:36] ---**
capable of taking our Comrade's place.
**[13:38] ---**
Mr. Garret, I've also sacrificed
many things in order to be here.
**[13:44] ---**
My hometown, my parents...
**[13:47] ---**
my little sister.
**[13:49] ---**
Muttaka...
**[13:50] ---**
I need you so that those
sacrifices don't go to waste.
**[13:54] ---**
Given this prison planet's unnatural
development, someone has to unify it.
**[14:00] ---**
If you make a stand, our
allies will increase!
**[14:03] ---**
Our Comrade's here!
**[14:05] ---**
Why are you doing this when
it's his fault for getting captured?
**[14:08] ---**
I'm the one they called for and
Michael's important to us, isn't he?
**[14:13] ---**
Comrade...?
**[14:15] ---**
Hey there, we're not going to shoot,
so won't you come out and talk?
**[14:21] ---**
Break your promise and Michael's dead.
**[14:24] ---**
Yes, I understand.
**[14:25] ---**
All right, come here by yourself.
**[14:28] ---**
Very well, here I come.
**[14:30] ---**
Fasalina...
**[14:31] ---**
My Dahlia is ready and waiting
in case we need to use it.
**[14:42] ---**
It's man-made, isn't it?
**[14:44] ---**
Yeah, the outside is camouflage.
**[14:46] ---**
But it's strange.
There should be a large entrance.
**[14:50] ---**
Then this thing must not matter.
**[14:52] ---**
What? Did you find something?
**[14:54] ---**
No, I think it's just a coat of arms.
**[14:57] ---**
Hmm, that shape...
**[15:01] ---**
That's it! The reward I've been saving!
**[15:05] ---**
Those are our demands.
**[15:07] ---**
If they are not accepted,
we'll blow up Saudade.
**[15:12] ---**
We've already set a large
quantity of explosives.
**[15:15] ---**
Now, we would like an answer!
**[15:17] ---**
I can't do it.
**[15:19] ---**
I don't have a problem with the
announcement or who takes command,
**[15:24] ---**
but changing the plan...
that alone I cannot accept.
**[15:27] ---**
It's impossible. I cannot.
**[15:29] ---**
Do you really believe
your ideal will help the world?
**[15:34] ---**
Yes.
**[15:35] ---**
Nonsense!
**[15:35] ---**
I ran the simulation thousands of
times and the result was always zero.
**[15:39] ---**
You can't give up after thousands of times.
**[15:41] ---**
You have to run it at least
hundreds of millions of times.
**[15:44] ---**
Don't tell me you're
considering world conquest?
**[15:48] ---**
That's no good. It's meaningless.
**[15:52] ---**
Even with your best efforts,
it'll only last a few hundred years.
**[15:55] ---**
The mother planet's
history proves that, doesn't it?
**[15:58] ---**
Besides, even with the greatest
Armor you wont get rid of crime.
**[16:04] ---**
People are competitive creatures.
**[16:08] ---**
You just have to accept it.
**[16:10] ---**
That's why the mother planet fell to ruin.
**[16:12] ---**
Beginning from there...
**[16:13] ---**
Don't try to deceive me!
**[16:14] ---**
That's no excuse for
annihilating the human race!
**[16:20] ---**
Annihilate?
**[16:21] ---**
Oh, that's what you've surmised.
**[16:24] ---**
That's right, because
you're in charge of the Armor.
**[16:27] ---**
Thank goodness. It's
just a misunderstanding.
**[16:29] ---**
Set your mind at ease.
**[16:31] ---**
No one's going to die.
Nothing will be destroyed.
**[16:35] ---**
The world is going to become very peaceful.
**[16:38] ---**
Peaceful?
**[16:39] ---**
That's right.
**[16:40] ---**
Let's have dinner together,
along with Michael.
**[16:43] ---**
I'll explain everything very clearly.
**[16:45] ---**
That's not necessary.
What matters is that you die.
**[16:49] ---**
Wait!
**[16:52] ---**
Bastard!
**[16:53] ---**
Please wait.
**[16:55] ---**
Let's talk this over, all right?
**[16:58] ---**
There's nothing to talk about.
**[17:01] ---**
I could never trust you
and your twisted logic.
**[17:04] ---**
You wont talk with me?
**[17:06] ---**
That's right!
**[17:07] ---**
Really? In that case...
**[17:09] ---**
let's start with a handshake.
**[17:12] ---**
Let's try to get along.
**[17:19] ---**
True, it may not be possible to
become friends with everyone right away...
**[17:24] ---**
but wont you keep trying?
**[17:27] ---**
Let go!
**[17:28] ---**
Please, don't say such sad things.
**[17:30] ---**
I'm just trying to share my dream with you.
**[17:34] ---**
Run, Muttaka!
**[17:37] ---**
Michael!
**[17:38] ---**
But...
**[17:40] ---**
Come on, Phase Echo!
**[17:41] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[17:42] ---**
I love you.
**[17:49] ---**
Fasalina.
**[17:50] ---**
Send a pursuit team,
and check Saudade as well, please.
**[18:00] ---**
It's warm.
**[18:01] ---**
See, you're the same as me after all.
**[18:04] ---**
A fellow human with the same
blood running through you.
**[18:09] ---**
It'd be a shame if we didn't try to
understand each other, wouldn't it?
**[18:19] ---**
Oh no... I've done it again.
**[18:22] ---**
Again...
**[18:25] ---**
Michael, are you all right?
**[18:27] ---**
Yes, thanks.
**[18:29] ---**
Thank goodness you're safe.
**[18:31] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:35] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[18:37] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
**[18:40] ---**
Comrade...
**[18:44] ---**
I'll be sure to fulfill my dream
so your life will not go to waste.
**[18:50] ---**
Thank you, my friend.
**[18:57] ---**
Come back, Muttaka.
Our Comrade will forgive everything.
**[19:00] ---**
That's not the problem!
**[19:02] ---**
For the sake of humanity,
we must crush our Comrade's dream!
**[19:07] ---**
In that case, we have
no choice but to kill you.
**[19:09] ---**
Set a course for Missoghi?
**[19:11] ---**
Yes. We'll meet up with
the missing "7" member.
**[19:14] ---**
Chief! There's a pursuit craft
5,000 meters behind us!
**[19:17] ---**
Don't take the Drakul lightly!
**[19:20] ---**
Saudade?
**[19:22] ---**
Michael, you don't have to do this.
Fasalina and the others can handle it.
**[19:26] ---**
I apologize, but I want
to settle this myself.
**[19:31] ---**
Settle this?
**[19:34] ---**
Sorry. That's not what I meant.
**[19:37] ---**
I just want to be part of the
effort in realizing your dream.
**[19:40] ---**
I see.
**[19:43] ---**
So, this is your answer?
**[19:46] ---**
And on top of it,
your first real battle is with me.
**[19:50] ---**
Was he too young?
**[19:51] ---**
Chief! We can blow it up, can't we?
**[19:53] ---**
The explosives are set, right?
**[20:01] ---**
I know there aren't any explosives!
**[20:03] ---**
You love Armor too much to do that!
**[20:14] ---**
Magnificent!
**[20:16] ---**
Muttaka, you've done
an exceptional job for us.
**[20:19] ---**
Switch to manual! Attack after surfacing!
**[20:22] ---**
Chief! Please give confirmation!
**[20:33] ---**
It pierced us!
**[20:34] ---**
It pierced us!
Are those particle shells?
**[20:35] ---**
Launch a continuous barrage and submerge!
**[20:37] ---**
Missiles set!
**[20:39] ---**
It's no use. That thing is special.
**[20:49] ---**
Muttaka, I'm sorry.
**[20:56] ---**
Chief, we need to escape!
**[20:57] ---**
Chief!
**[20:59] ---**
Michael, I liked you.
**[21:03] ---**
Together we could have brought peace.
**[21:06] ---**
But instead...!
**[21:08] ---**
Say Michael, what is
"happiness" for people?
**[21:14] ---**
Huh, Michael?
**[21:27] ---**
Muttaka, there is a way...
**[21:30] ---**
for people to be happy, isn't there?
**[21:35] ---**
No...
**[21:36] ---**
Our Comrade's now the one...
**[21:49] ---**
OK, start moving.
**[21:52] ---**
Yes, sir. Proceeding at minimal speed.
**[22:00] ---**
We're finally moving?
**[22:02] ---**
Uh-huh.
**[22:05] ---**
I wonder how Palikare is doing right now.
**[22:07] ---**
I'm sure he's fine with Manson.
**[22:09] ---**
We can't take him anyways.
**[22:11] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[22:13] ---**
Now all we need to do is
get that bastard the Claw.
**[22:17] ---**
Hey, do you think there's a way to
make everyone in the world happy?
**[22:24] ---**
There must be.
**[22:26] ---**
I think there is and that's why... I...
**[23:56] ---**
"Prayer's End"
**[23:57] ---**

don't know is hurting right now.*
**[24:02] ---**
*Even if we wanted to
do something about it,*
**[24:05] ---**
*we're not able to take action.*
**[24:07] ---**
*We're not able to feel
sorrow deep in our hearts.*
**[24:10] ---**
*Honestly, that's how I think it is.*
**[24:13] ---**
*But that doesn't mean we should give up.*
**[24:15] ---**
*I want to start by
treasuring each person I meet.*
**[24:19] ---**
*And if we all did that...*

**[01:48] ---**
*Though injured and bleeding,
you're unable to stop your cries for joy.*
**[01:53] ---**
*Expunged from this world
after being eaten by a beast,*
**[01:57] ---**
*you are reborn a new beast
and give a great roar.*
**[02:04] ---**
"Prayer's End"
**[02:21] ---**
Hey, Carossa, come on, let's go back.
**[02:24] ---**
No.
**[02:25] ---**
But our Comrade doesn't like it
when we do things on our own.
**[02:30] ---**
We're doing this for our Comrade.
**[02:32] ---**
He's sure to praise us!
**[02:36] ---**
He praised Gadved and Wo.
**[02:38] ---**
But...
**[02:39] ---**
We can win!
**[02:41] ---**
But...
**[02:42] ---**
You're thinking about Michael?
That's it, isn't it?
**[02:47] ---**
You're afraid he won't like you.
**[02:49] ---**
That's what it is! More so than me!
**[02:51] ---**
That's not true!
**[02:53] ---**
I'll do it! Even if I have to do it myself!
**[02:57] ---**
Carossa, you can't do it alone.
**[03:12] ---**
Carmen.
**[03:13] ---**
What is it?
**[03:15] ---**
This is a man-made tunnel, isn't it?
**[03:17] ---**
Yep.
**[03:18] ---**
It's been 3 days already
and I still can't see the other end.
**[03:21] ---**
I know.
**[03:23] ---**
Could you imagine if we suddenly
ran into the Claw's headquarters?
**[03:27] ---**
What would we do then?
**[03:28] ---**
The tunnel's under sea.
**[03:31] ---**
If we called for Dann,
I suppose we'd all drown.
**[03:33] ---**
Well, if it were to happen,
we'd manage somehow.
**[03:36] ---**
Pricilla's here and we've
got Nero and those guys.
**[03:39] ---**
He's standing lookout for us as we speak.
**[03:42] ---**
I'm tired of this, it's boring!
**[03:44] ---**
Think I'll have a drink.
What's there to snack on?
**[03:46] ---**
Again? You sure eat a lot for an old fart.
**[03:52] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[03:54] ---**
Sorry our leader's not doing his job.
**[03:58] ---**
I'm doing an excellent job!
**[04:00] ---**
Ah, anyway, bring it over here, young lady.
**[04:02] ---**
Um, this is...
**[04:04] ---**
I've got your second helpings.
**[04:06] ---**
That's for Van, right?
**[04:08] ---**
Wendy put her all into making it.
**[04:20] ---**
Oh...?
**[04:24] ---**
Good morning, Van!
**[04:26] ---**
Where are you going?
**[04:29] ---**
Just gonna grab a bite to eat.
**[04:31] ---**
What a coincidence! So am I.
**[04:34] ---**
Yeah?
**[04:35] ---**
Is it all right if we go together?
**[04:37] ---**
What do you mean? It's right here.
**[04:39] ---**
Say, Van!
**[04:42] ---**
Hey, um...
**[04:44] ---**
All right, I'm going.
**[04:45] ---**
Oh, look!
**[04:48] ---**
There's nothing.
**[04:50] ---**
It sort of looks like we're in
a picture together, doesn't it?
**[04:54] ---**
So?
**[04:56] ---**
So...
**[05:00] ---**
I wish we'd hurry up and get there.
**[05:03] ---**
Are you bored when you're with me?
**[05:06] ---**
No, I just don't want to get attacked here.
**[05:09] ---**
But I'm here.
**[05:11] ---**
Forget it. It'd be way too much for you.
**[05:14] ---**
Besides, I need to do things my own way.
**[05:19] ---**
So, Yukiko, how did
things turn out with Franco?
**[05:23] ---**
Turn out?
**[05:24] ---**
You know, a man and a woman your age...
**[05:26] ---**
He's just a childhood friend,
and he's still back in our old town.
**[05:32] ---**
Oh, really?
**[05:33] ---**
That's great!
**[05:34] ---**
Way to go.
**[05:37] ---**
Sorry about all the commotion.
**[05:39] ---**
They're always like this.
**[05:41] ---**
No, we're usually worse.
**[05:46] ---**
Van!
**[05:50] ---**
Hey, you're not getting away this time.
**[05:52] ---**
No, thank you.
**[05:54] ---**
Hang out with us.
**[05:55] ---**
Or you and Pricilla can have
your own carnival, if you'd like.
**[05:58] ---**
Young Lady.
**[05:59] ---**
Yes?
**[06:00] ---**
Come here and listen to
our discourse on justice.
**[06:04] ---**
Discourse on justice?
**[06:05] ---**
Ignore them.
**[06:07] ---**
It's OK?
**[06:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:10] ---**
Wendy, what about Pricilla's dinner?
**[06:14] ---**
I've got it.
**[06:17] ---**
Van, Wendy cooked that meal for you.
**[06:21] ---**
You can cook?
**[06:23] ---**
Yukiko taught me.
**[06:27] ---**
Don't just sit there staring at it.
Why don't you eat it?
**[06:31] ---**
You're right.
**[06:32] ---**
Hey, bring me all the
condiments you've got.
**[06:35] ---**
What?
**[06:35] ---**
Won't you eat like a normal person?
I asked you to before, remember?
**[06:39] ---**
Oh, really?
**[06:47] ---**
I can't believe it's that hard for you.
**[06:50] ---**
Hurry up and eat it!
**[06:56] ---**
What the...?! Why didn't
you tell me you were eating?
**[06:59] ---**
I've been driving all this time!
**[07:04] ---**
Oh my, that's good!
**[07:06] ---**
I should take some for Joshua too...
**[07:09] ---**
Um... is something wrong?
**[07:11] ---**
You've done it now.
**[07:14] ---**
It's all over.
**[07:16] ---**
Oh, no, it's not that bad.
**[07:19] ---**
See, that's what happens
when you don't eat fast enough!
**[07:22] ---**
That's right.
**[07:23] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[07:25] ---**
Well, um...
**[07:29] ---**
What is it?!
**[07:30] ---**
Joshua!
**[07:31] ---**
Sorry, I saw a light up ahead.
**[07:34] ---**
The other end?
**[07:35] ---**
No, it doesn't look like it.
**[07:37] ---**
Then just keep going forward.
**[07:39] ---**
Go slowly, OK?
**[07:41] ---**
Right.
**[07:53] ---**
Is this the floor for relaying materials?
**[07:56] ---**
It doesn't seem like a base, does it?
**[07:58] ---**
What the hell! Is this
tunnel ever going to end?
**[08:03] ---**
Looks like it's just more of the same.
**[08:13] ---**
Huh? It's the thing from before.
**[08:17] ---**
They're here. I knew they'd come.
**[08:20] ---**
Kill the bastards!
**[08:23] ---**
Hey, Carossa.
**[08:25] ---**
I really think we should go back.
The plan's almost complete.
**[08:29] ---**
Then go back! I'll go by myself!
**[08:33] ---**
When he's finished his plan
**[08:36] ---**
our Comrade will praise
Michael and abandon us.
**[08:40] ---**
I don't want it to be like it was before.
**[08:43] ---**
I don't want it to be like before!
**[08:46] ---**
I understand.
**[08:52] ---**
They're so cute. Hey, hey...
**[08:55] ---**
Comrade?
**[08:56] ---**
Oh, it's about Carossa, isn't it?
**[08:59] ---**
This disruption before the assembly
is completely unnecessary.
**[09:03] ---**
Maybe he's always breaking
the rules due to his upbringing...
**[09:07] ---**
But to be honest, there have
been a number of complaints about him.
**[09:11] ---**
He took off with the Drakul,
although it runs on autopilot.
**[09:14] ---**
He's even dragged Melissa into this.
**[09:17] ---**
Should I order him back?
**[09:19] ---**
No, why don't we let
them do as they please?
**[09:22] ---**
It's not good to impose our will on them,
**[09:25] ---**
and this has nothing to do
with the "Time of Happiness."
**[09:27] ---**
Indeed.
**[09:36] ---**
Really. There's nothing I can do.
**[09:43] ---**
At last, the time has finally come!
**[09:45] ---**
The born again, invincible body!
**[09:48] ---**
Behold, the shocking...
**[09:50] ---**
two legged walk!
**[09:54] ---**
Old timer!
**[09:55] ---**
Hey, it's a decoy, so
don't fight it head-on!
**[09:58] ---**
It even gave me a hard time.
There's no way you can handle it.
**[10:01] ---**
You really are wet behind
the ears, sonny boy.
**[10:04] ---**
A true fighter always fights head-on!
**[10:07] ---**
Besides, we owe you for the "Pink Amigo."
**[10:11] ---**
Which means this is our
chance to show what men can do!
**[10:13] ---**
Behold our courageous figure!
Hear our brave and honorable creed!
**[10:20] ---**
Leave it to us. Forward!
**[10:24] ---**
There's another one!
**[10:25] ---**
I'll take care of it!
**[10:27] ---**
What?!
**[10:28] ---**
Pricilla, hold on a second!
**[10:29] ---**
There are two of them,
so that makes it even.
**[10:33] ---**
You idiot! This isn't a competition!
**[10:35] ---**
You're not playing for prize money!
**[10:38] ---**
Prize money? That's terrible.
You shouldn't say things like that.
**[10:43] ---**
I'm not doing it for prize money.
**[10:45] ---**
There's only one thing
Brownie ever fights for.
**[10:48] ---**
To protect someone!
**[10:52] ---**
I got that.
**[10:53] ---**
Eldora Attack!
**[11:00] ---**
Yeah, I like the feel of
the additional weapons!
**[11:03] ---**
Not bad, young lady.
**[11:05] ---**
Nero, we've got him.
**[11:07] ---**
All right!
**[11:08] ---**
Grande Cyclone!
**[11:12] ---**
Hurry up and get someplace
where Dann can come down to!
**[11:15] ---**
Yes!
**[11:20] ---**
You're not getting through here!
**[11:23] ---**
Fluid control system, on!
**[11:25] ---**
Energy circulation system, check!
**[11:27] ---**
Here we go! Bucci engine, online!
**[11:30] ---**
Huh? Full power already?
**[11:35] ---**
Get ready quickly!
**[11:37] ---**
Leave it to us!
**[11:38] ---**
It's because of darkness
that justice shines!
**[11:41] ---**
A bit of light fuels our courage!
**[11:44] ---**
In a blaze of fire...
**[11:46] ---**
we die as men!
**[11:47] ---**
Righteous kicks!
**[11:49] ---**
Courageous punches!
**[11:50] ---**
They're our Amigos!
**[11:52] ---**
We've returned to help you all!
**[11:55] ---**
Take this! Our invincible power!
**[11:58] ---**
The Fist of Punishment!
**[12:00] ---**
Eldora Soul!
**[12:02] ---**
Your preamble's too long!
**[12:12] ---**
There should be a depot floor up ahead.
**[12:14] ---**
I'm not sure if it's for
regulating atmospheric pressure,
**[12:15] ---**
but the duct is reaching
the ocean's surface.
**[12:17] ---**
I think you can bring
Dann down through there.
**[12:23] ---**
I've beat them to it.
**[12:25] ---**
But is that a heat source I'm picking up?
**[12:28] ---**
If it's the Claw, I have
to kill him before he does.
**[12:40] ---**
Van, please use the central
duct to prevent flooding.
**[12:45] ---**
Yeah, got it.
**[13:16] ---**
There's another enemy here too!
**[13:17] ---**
Escape to the right.
**[13:19] ---**
Right!
**[13:22] ---**
Big brother?!
**[13:23] ---**
Is that Ray? I haven't seen you in a while.
**[13:25] ---**
But I don't have time to
play with you right now!
**[13:29] ---**
What?!
**[13:31] ---**
He's finally here!
**[13:32] ---**
The bastard who's been
getting in our Comrade's way!
**[13:38] ---**
*The diffusion mantle comes in handy.*
**[13:41] ---**
I can't believe it. Was that a beam?!
**[13:43] ---**
What's our damage?
**[13:44] ---**
I'll check.
**[13:45] ---**
Carossa, this is the real thing!
**[13:47] ---**
That's right, Melissa.
**[13:49] ---**
I'm gonna wipe out all of you!
**[13:52] ---**
Damn you bastards!
**[13:53] ---**
Here I come!
**[13:57] ---**
Hey, are you the ones who were with Wo?
**[14:00] ---**
That's right.
**[14:01] ---**
Do you remember, you lousy bastard?
**[14:03] ---**
I'm Carossa and the other one's Melissa.
**[14:06] ---**
As members of the Original 7,
we're going to kill you.
**[14:09] ---**
We're going to destroy your
Armor and everything else!
**[14:12] ---**
These two are too well connected.
**[14:15] ---**
Could it be he perfected that system?
**[14:18] ---**
Big brother!
**[14:19] ---**
It's me, Joshua!
**[14:22] ---**
Big brother!
**[14:23] ---**
Hey!
**[14:25] ---**
This is Eldora. Eldora Soul.
**[14:27] ---**
We're using up energy fast.
We need refueling!
**[14:31] ---**
The seawater is leaking in!
**[14:35] ---**
Their drive system's not working!
**[14:37] ---**
Even if they're able to move now,
they can't go fast.
**[14:41] ---**
Those guys should be all right.
**[14:44] ---**
That's OK. No need to take chances.
**[14:46] ---**
Van!
**[14:47] ---**
I'm taking an energy tank to
the Eldora. You're in charge here.
**[14:51] ---**
Yeah, leave it to me.
**[14:54] ---**
Joshua, back up into the tunnel.
**[14:56] ---**
That's crazy! We don't have weapons
and they'll figure out our strategy!
**[14:59] ---**
Hey, Carmen!
**[15:00] ---**
What should we do, Carossa?
They're coming from over there.
**[15:03] ---**
Let them be! We'll take care of this first.
**[15:07] ---**
Hey, I've got some business
to take care of as well.
**[15:10] ---**
I'm going to end this fast and
have you take me to the Claw.
**[15:14] ---**
Fine. We'll take you with us.
**[15:17] ---**
We'll kill you...
**[15:19] ---**
and take the Armor to our Comrade.
**[15:22] ---**
If you can kill me!
**[15:24] ---**
You two are pretty good.
**[15:31] ---**
I can't believe I'm doing this
when it's not even a real job.
**[15:34] ---**
I'm such an idiot.
**[15:51] ---**
My excavation drill's not working
because of their initial attack.
**[15:54] ---**
Now even if my engine still runs...
**[15:57] ---**
Good afternoon! Pardon the interruption.
**[15:59] ---**
Damn you!
**[16:01] ---**
Don't drag me into this!
**[16:03] ---**
All right then, should I move
over to where your brother is?
**[16:09] ---**
They were your enemies to begin with.
**[16:12] ---**
So what?
**[16:13] ---**
You'll just take the information
I discover anyway.
**[16:15] ---**
I'm sorry to tell you this...
**[16:18] ---**
but they don't seem to care at all!
**[16:21] ---**
Watch! We can do it.
**[16:24] ---**
We can win, Melissa!
**[16:26] ---**
That's right.
**[16:27] ---**
Can you hear me, Carmen?
They've got me completely pinned down!
**[16:33] ---**
I hope those guys back there are OK too.
**[16:39] ---**
Damn it!
**[16:40] ---**
Eldora Block!
**[16:43] ---**
Nero, don't waste energy!
**[16:45] ---**
I don't have any choice!
**[16:46] ---**
Barrio, is the death-blow maneuver ready?
**[16:49] ---**
We don't have enough energy!
**[16:51] ---**
We're just a little short!
**[16:56] ---**
You're going to have to
do better than that!
**[17:01] ---**
How can you cook at a time like this?
**[17:03] ---**
They'll all be coming back soon
and they'll be hungry, right?
**[17:07] ---**
Besides...
**[17:09] ---**
to tell you the truth...
**[17:11] ---**
at first I thought this group
we formed would quickly dissolve.
**[17:15] ---**
It was also an opportunity
for me to leave town.
**[17:19] ---**
But that's not what happened.
**[17:20] ---**
Even though everyone had their own ideas,
they all united for a purpose.
**[17:25] ---**
And so I want to contribute as well.
**[17:28] ---**
Then I'll make something too.
Let me know if I do anything wrong.
**[17:33] ---**
Yes.
**[17:37] ---**
Hey, hurry up and do it!
**[17:39] ---**
Not yet. Wait a little longer.
**[17:43] ---**
You're always saying that.
**[17:45] ---**
Sorry I couldn't get here faster.
**[17:48] ---**
Is everyone still alive?
**[17:51] ---**
Carmen!
**[17:52] ---**
Clear it out of the way, will you?!
**[17:54] ---**
He's just where I want him!
**[17:56] ---**
I can hit the base of his neck from here.
**[17:57] ---**
And if that doesn't work...
**[17:59] ---**
we'll all go down together!
**[18:06] ---**
I brought the energy tank!
**[18:08] ---**
Take it!
**[18:11] ---**
All right! Eldora Charge!
**[18:18] ---**
Now it's time to finish him off!
**[18:19] ---**
Diamante Crash!
**[18:22] ---**
Adios!
**[18:26] ---**
Amigo!
**[18:28] ---**
Not here, you idiots!
**[18:30] ---**
If you explode it, we'll...
**[18:39] ---**
Carmen, answer me! Are you OK?
**[18:43] ---**
Those guys are dead!
**[18:47] ---**
You'll die too!
**[18:49] ---**
Chesto!
**[18:51] ---**
You bastard!
**[18:53] ---**
Die!
**[18:55] ---**
Die! You're going to die!
**[19:04] ---**
It really has to be point
blank, otherwise...
**[19:06] ---**
No, that'll do just fine.
I can take it from here.
**[19:09] ---**
No, you can't! Because you're going to die!
**[19:11] ---**
My Comrade will be so happy!
**[19:13] ---**
And then we won't be abandoned!
**[19:16] ---**
We'll always be at his side.
We'll never be lonely.
**[19:20] ---**
Carossa?
**[19:22] ---**
Take me to the Claw!
We'll kill him together!
**[19:27] ---**
No! You're the one who's going to die!
**[19:29] ---**
Hurry up and die. Die! Die!
**[19:33] ---**
Is that a...?
**[19:35] ---**
Chesto!
**[19:43] ---**
Now I'm going to finish you off.
**[19:44] ---**
That's the Armor my Comrade gave me!
**[19:47] ---**
How dare you! How dare you!
**[19:49] ---**
How dare you!
**[19:51] ---**
Wait, Carossa! If we don't stop...
**[19:53] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:04] ---**
Come on, take me to the Claw!
**[20:06] ---**
In that case, die! I'll take
you there when you're dead.
**[20:09] ---**
I guess we're not getting any
information from them after all.
**[20:14] ---**
Delete.
**[20:22] ---**
What's going on?
**[20:23] ---**
He's firing his weapons, but I'm still...
**[20:26] ---**
Stop it...
**[20:27] ---**
Stop it, Melissa!
**[20:29] ---**
You cant survive that! He'll kill you!
**[20:31] ---**
But if I don't, you'll...
**[20:42] ---**
All right. One more shot.
**[20:47] ---**
I wonder if the fighting's over.
**[20:49] ---**
If it is, I suppose
they'll be coming to eat.
**[20:52] ---**
That's right.
**[20:56] ---**
Melissa? Melissa, are you listening?
**[21:02] ---**
Carossa, let's not do this anymore.
**[21:07] ---**
Let's go back and tell
everyone we're sorry.
**[21:16] ---**
I can't... I ruined the Armor...
**[21:20] ---**
Our Comrade's Armor...
**[21:23] ---**
He'll forgive us.
**[21:26] ---**
What's going on?
**[21:28] ---**
It's all right. They'll all forgive you.
**[21:31] ---**
But I'm sure they'll abandon us.
**[21:34] ---**
That's the one thing I don't want!
**[21:37] ---**
Carossa...
**[21:39] ---**
I'll never abandon you, Carossa...
**[21:47] ---**
That's why...
**[21:53] ---**
Melissa...?
**[21:55] ---**
Melissa!
**[21:56] ---**
Melissa! Melissa! Melissa!
**[22:01] ---**
Big brother, it's over.
**[22:04] ---**
Any more fighting would just be...
**[22:07] ---**
Would just be what?
**[22:09] ---**
Melissa, I will avenge your death!
**[22:15] ---**
You swine.
**[22:19] ---**
Even if you're the only one, I'll kill you!
**[23:56] ---**
"Wonderful Universe"
**[23:57] ---**
*I left town in order to
chase after my brother.*
**[24:01] ---**
*But before I knew it, I'd been
dragged into this crazy mess.*
**[24:06] ---**
*The strange thing is,
I never felt like backing down.*
**[24:09] ---**
*No, it's not because I felt a sense
of responsibility or righteousness.*
**[24:13] ---**
*After deciding to do something,
I wanted to see it through to the end.*
**[24:18] ---**
*But that's the same way
my brother and his people felt too.*

*The planet "Endless Illusion,"*
**[01:38] ---**
*a lost soul's paradise
where savage dreams abound.*
**[01:43] ---**
*Why fight?*
**[01:45] ---**
*Why move forward?*
**[01:48] ---**
*The road is steep. The end is tragic.*
**[01:51] ---**
*The journey is all too difficult.*

*But even so, no one thinks of stopping.*

they were untrue to themselves*

"Wonderful Universe"
**[02:17] ---**
It's creepy. No one's here.
**[02:20] ---**
I thought they'd be lying in wait for us.
**[02:22] ---**
We'd be in trouble if the enemy came now.
**[02:24] ---**
Everyone's making repairs and
my brother's disappeared again.
**[02:28] ---**
He doesn't count.
**[02:32] ---**
Hey, can you stop somewhere?
**[02:34] ---**
We've got repairs and...
**[02:36] ---**
this thing I found on the Armor rider
when we were digging her grave...
**[02:40] ---**
I'd like to check it out.
**[02:41] ---**
That's not necessary.
Finding him takes priority.
**[02:44] ---**
That's why we need to
find out where he is, right?!
**[02:47] ---**
Van!
**[02:48] ---**
Shut up.
**[02:49] ---**
Carmen!
**[02:49] ---**
What?!
**[02:51] ---**
I see something.
**[02:53] ---**
It looks like a base.
**[02:56] ---**
Ready?
**[02:57] ---**
Yeah, do it!
**[02:58] ---**
Dedo, open!
**[03:01] ---**
You don't have to put on such a display.
**[03:04] ---**
It doesn't look like anyone's here either.
**[03:06] ---**
No, you can never be too careful!
**[03:11] ---**
My back...
**[03:12] ---**
Jose, you're overdoing it.
**[03:14] ---**
I'm not overdoing it! It's called bravery!
**[03:18] ---**
I wonder if my grandmother
was like this too.
**[03:22] ---**
It's either an observation post
or a communications facility.
**[03:24] ---**
But it doesn't look like
it's being used anymore.
**[03:27] ---**
It doesn't seem like a trap either.
**[03:29] ---**
We've been here long enough. Let's go.
**[03:33] ---**
What the heck is a table doing here?
**[03:37] ---**
Are you OK, Wendy?
**[03:39] ---**
You're not hurt, are you?
**[03:40] ---**
What are you doing?
**[03:43] ---**
It's dark, that's why.
**[03:45] ---**
Well done, Wendy!
**[03:48] ---**
Is this what I think it is?
**[03:50] ---**
Now I see! It was a map.
**[03:54] ---**
We've been in luck recently!
**[03:55] ---**
Everyone, hurry up! Over here!
**[03:58] ---**
The medicine...
Where did we put the medicine?
**[04:00] ---**
Do you want us to come there
or do you want the medicine?
**[04:03] ---**
We found someone!
**[04:04] ---**
There's a vehicle in back of the building!
**[04:06] ---**
You want us, the medicine, or the vehicle?
**[04:08] ---**
Forget it!
**[04:12] ---**
He's dead.
**[04:13] ---**
I see.
**[04:14] ---**
What happened? Hey! Hey!
**[04:18] ---**
It was him, wasn't it? It was
the Claw who did this, right?!
**[04:59] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:01] ---**
Yukiko's still not here,
but should we go ahead and start?
**[05:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:05] ---**
Unlike Chizuru, she can't leave them be.
**[05:08] ---**
That reminds me of
the time we captured Jimmy.
**[05:10] ---**
That's right. Chizuru said
he was a rat bastard.
**[05:13] ---**
So she took the injured man,
buried him up to his neck...
**[05:15] ---**
All right! You can stop there.
**[05:17] ---**
Oh, yeah. It's a strategy
session, isn't it?
**[05:20] ---**
So where is he?
**[05:22] ---**
Hold your horses.
**[05:24] ---**
This island, or should I say continent,
**[05:28] ---**
was thought to be deserted, but in reality
**[05:31] ---**
this submarine tunnel runs to it.
**[05:33] ---**
Right now, we're somewhere around here.
**[05:35] ---**
And since this device is pointing
directly towards the center,
**[05:39] ---**
I wonder if that's where
the Armor came from.
**[05:42] ---**
Then my brother's probably...
**[05:46] ---**
All right. I'll go myself from here.
**[05:48] ---**
Wait, Van!
**[05:49] ---**
From here on out,
at least three of us have to go.
**[05:52] ---**
Even if you go using Dann
**[05:53] ---**
they'll notice you and run away,
and that'll be the end of it.
**[05:56] ---**
First, we have to find
out what their objective is.
**[05:59] ---**
That's all you ever do, "find out" things.
**[06:01] ---**
Maybe that guy from
before knows something.
**[06:06] ---**
There's only one thing they
could be after, world conquest.
**[06:09] ---**
That's where evil always winds up.
**[06:11] ---**
But first we have to repair Eldora Soul.
**[06:16] ---**
That's right. Me too.
**[06:17] ---**
What about you, Van?
You want me to repair yours?
**[06:20] ---**
No. I just leave Dann alone
and he repairs himself.
**[06:23] ---**
What?! Really?
**[06:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:26] ---**
All right then, we'll
start off with repairs.
**[06:29] ---**
Let's go!
**[06:29] ---**
Right!
**[06:30] ---**
Well then, me too.
**[06:32] ---**
Carmen.
**[06:33] ---**
Hm? What is it?
**[06:34] ---**
I was hoping to wash off.
**[06:36] ---**
That's fine. You can use the big shower.
**[06:38] ---**
Wendy.
**[06:41] ---**
There's no use worrying about
your brother at this point, is there?
**[06:48] ---**
I guess you're right.
**[06:52] ---**
Comrade, please try this on.
**[06:53] ---**
Can't I just wear what I normally wear?
**[06:57] ---**
No, today's special.
**[06:59] ---**
They've come from all over the world
just to have a glimpse of you.
**[07:04] ---**
Which is why Fasalina
wants you looking magnificent...
**[07:07] ---**
when you appear in front of everyone.
**[07:09] ---**
Then there's nothing I can do about it.
**[07:11] ---**
There's no stopping her once
she's decided to do something.
**[07:13] ---**
Yes...
**[07:15] ---**
So where is Fasalina?
Is everything ready to go?
**[07:29] ---**
Fasalina.
**[07:32] ---**
I heard that man killed
Melissa and Carossa.
**[07:35] ---**
Yes.
**[07:36] ---**
Why didn't you tell me?! I could
have stopped him with Saudade!
**[07:39] ---**
It was our Comrade's will.
**[07:42] ---**
He didn't want to cause you...
**[07:44] ---**
any needless worry with
your departure approaching.
**[07:47] ---**
Considering our fellow members is needless?
**[07:51] ---**
That's right.
**[07:55] ---**
So if I were to worry about you,
would that also be needless?
**[08:03] ---**
That's right.
**[08:06] ---**
Michael, the Original 7
is just you and me now.
**[08:11] ---**
But we can still carry out our mission.
**[08:14] ---**
Our mission to realize our Comrade's dream.
**[08:18] ---**
Anything other than that is needless.
**[08:22] ---**
Fasalina, I believe our Comrade.
**[08:27] ---**
But somewhere deep inside of me...
**[08:30] ---**
I still don't completely
understand his dream.
**[08:38] ---**
What will the world be like after
our Comrade's dream is realized?
**[08:45] ---**
Michael...
**[08:47] ---**
I was hoping that you'd
grasp it on your own.
**[08:52] ---**
But I don't want to send you off
with uncertainties and regrets.
**[08:57] ---**
I'll show you.
**[09:06] ---**
All we did was a tiny bit
of fighting and look at it!
**[09:09] ---**
I can hardly wait for what's next.
**[09:12] ---**
That's why I said we
should bring Bucci along.
**[09:14] ---**
Let it go, will you?
**[09:16] ---**
Barrio, how's the painting going?
**[09:18] ---**
Looks like the residual heat
is causing it to peel off.
**[09:20] ---**
Then why don't we leave it
the color of the material?
**[09:22] ---**
Just as long as we do the face.
**[09:24] ---**
Where's the owner's manual?
**[09:25] ---**
It's gone.
**[09:27] ---**
What?
**[09:28] ---**
Let's see, um...?
**[09:36] ---**
Say there, Pricilla.
**[09:38] ---**
I was hoping you'd tell me what to do about
**[09:40] ---**
the resistance load pressure
levels for the 3, 5, 7, 8,
**[09:43] ---**
and 17 transmission units for both femurs.
**[09:45] ---**
And the spark needle's...
**[09:47] ---**
You idiot!
**[09:50] ---**
Joshua, are you all right?!
**[09:52] ---**
I'm all right, but we've got a big problem.
**[09:55] ---**
The femurs on those legs...
**[09:56] ---**
It's OK, I'll take care of it.
**[09:59] ---**
And don't peep anymore, all right?
**[10:02] ---**
Did I do something wrong?
**[10:04] ---**
You don't have any friends, do you?
**[10:06] ---**
Yes I do... Van!
**[10:08] ---**
Really?
**[10:10] ---**
Oh, that's right, about Van...
**[10:11] ---**
What's that?
**[10:13] ---**
Do you know why Van's
chasing after the Claw?
**[10:16] ---**
Oh, he didn't tell you?
**[10:19] ---**
No.
**[10:19] ---**
Well, actually...
**[10:21] ---**
What?!
**[10:26] ---**
Pricilla?
**[10:27] ---**
Yes. It came from the bathroom.
**[10:29] ---**
I wonder if she got doused with hot water.
**[10:31] ---**
That's what it sounded like.
**[10:34] ---**
How is he?
**[10:35] ---**
I don't know, I'm not a doctor
**[10:39] ---**
I've done everything I can,
so I hope he'll make it, but...
**[10:43] ---**
But he might be an enemy.
**[10:45] ---**
Right now he's simply
someone who's injured.
**[10:47] ---**
Friend or enemy, if he dies,
it's all over, right?
**[10:50] ---**
And if he lives, maybe
we'll all get along someday.
**[10:53] ---**
I see.
**[10:59] ---**
Settle down! Stay calm! Don't get excited!
**[11:02] ---**
Michael!
**[11:04] ---**
Don't come near, Michael!
**[11:05] ---**
You know my brother, Michael?
**[11:07] ---**
Wendy!
**[11:08] ---**
It's OK. She's not him.
**[11:11] ---**
Calm down. You can't lose any more blood.
**[11:14] ---**
Kill him!
**[11:15] ---**
He's a demon!
**[11:18] ---**
He's going to destroy the world
together with our Comrade!
**[11:23] ---**
A demon!
**[11:33] ---**
It's about to start.
**[11:34] ---**
I wonder what our Comrade's going to say.
**[11:36] ---**
I'm not sure. They said
the entire staff was to watch.
**[11:49] ---**
Oh, um...
**[11:55] ---**
Hello, everyone.
**[11:57] ---**
Hello!
**[11:59] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[12:01] ---**
It's because of you all that, as of today,
**[12:03] ---**
all preparations for the "Time of
Happiness" have been completed.
**[12:09] ---**
And so today, along with expressing
my renewed gratitude to everyone
**[12:13] ---**
who's worked so hard
in each of their sections,
**[12:16] ---**
I'd like to explain the principles
and details of the overall plan.
**[12:22] ---**
Right now, we are in possession of
the most powerful Armor in history.
**[12:27] ---**
Thus, we have the power to
shape the future of this planet.
**[12:31] ---**
How should we use this power?
**[12:34] ---**
I've had a difficult time deciding
the best path for our future.
**[12:39] ---**
Until now, everyone has
reached the same answer...
**[12:45] ---**
rule and conquest.
**[12:48] ---**
Our Comrade's different, right?
**[12:51] ---**
Yes. He worried and struggled over it.
**[12:56] ---**
And in the end he grasped...
**[12:59] ---**
not rule, but harmony.
**[13:01] ---**
Instead of conquest...
**[13:03] ---**
friendship.
**[13:05] ---**
Your Armor, Saudade is...
**[13:10] ---**
the key to resetting the world
in order to create tomorrow.
**[13:21] ---**
The world will be reborn.
**[13:28] ---**
All tragedy will become
a thing of the past.
**[13:32] ---**
Do you know why?
**[13:35] ---**
Because our Comrade will...
**[13:37] ---**
That's right.
**[13:37] ---**
Because he will sacrifice himself
as part of the operation.
**[13:44] ---**
*Stop Michael!*
**[13:47] ---**
*He and Saudade...*
**[13:49] ---**
*the Original 7's most powerful...*
**[13:52] ---**
*If you don't stop him...*
**[13:55] ---**
*everyone will die...*
**[14:10] ---**
Hey, what do you think he meant,
"everyone will die?"
**[14:13] ---**
It's none of my business.
**[14:15] ---**
But it looks like Wendy's
brother is involved.
**[14:20] ---**
It's none of my business!
**[14:23] ---**
My only...
**[14:25] ---**
my only objective is to
find that bastard the Claw.
**[14:28] ---**
But if someone gets in my way,
I don't care who it is,
**[14:31] ---**
I'll kill them!
**[14:34] ---**
Van!
**[14:36] ---**
He's not serious. No, not serious...
**[14:41] ---**
Hey, I made dinner!
**[14:44] ---**
Gotta eat in order to recharge, right?
**[14:48] ---**
Right, Van?
**[14:50] ---**
Right...
**[14:52] ---**
No use worrying too much.
**[14:56] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[14:57] ---**
tomorrow the "Time of
Happiness" begins at last.
**[15:18] ---**
That aspect of you
hasn't changed, has it Wendy?
**[15:24] ---**
Big brother, Michael...
**[15:29] ---**
There's something I want
to talk to you about.
**[15:33] ---**
If you're looking for Miss Wendy,
she's washing the laundry.
**[15:36] ---**
No, she went to dry the
laundry on the back deck.
**[15:39] ---**
She still seemed bothered
about what happened yesterday.
**[15:42] ---**
Hey, go check on her.
**[15:44] ---**
That's what I was about to do.
All right, then.
**[15:47] ---**
Oh, what about the hover base?
**[15:50] ---**
Don't worry. I put it on autopilot.
**[15:57] ---**
What do you want to talk about?
**[16:02] ---**
Wendy, for the last time,
go back to Evergreen.
**[16:07] ---**
I've heard that before.
**[16:10] ---**
There's gold inside.
**[16:12] ---**
If you're worried about the others
**[16:13] ---**
you can divide it up as you
like and get them to disband.
**[16:16] ---**
There's no reason for you
to continue any further.
**[16:19] ---**
You think they would...
**[16:21] ---**
that Van would turn back for that?!
**[16:24] ---**
In that case, you can leave him out of it.
**[16:27] ---**
To be honest, I'd like
to try and fight him.
**[16:32] ---**
Fight him? How can you say that?
I guess you were wrong after all.
**[16:37] ---**
I heard you'll destroy the world.
What does that mean?
**[16:42] ---**
I don't want you and Van to fight.
**[16:47] ---**
That's a misunderstanding.
**[16:49] ---**
We have no intention of
destroying the world.
**[16:52] ---**
But if you're that worried about me,
why don't you come with us?
**[17:00] ---**
Wendy, I've always cared about you.
**[17:05] ---**
If we act together, I can
better protect you from now on.
**[17:11] ---**
Please believe me.
**[17:12] ---**
Join your brother on the path he's chosen.
**[17:28] ---**
Big brother...
**[17:33] ---**
Big brother, I don't know.
**[17:36] ---**
I don't know when all you
say is "believe me."
**[17:40] ---**
I see. In that case...
**[17:43] ---**
Wendy!
**[17:45] ---**
Are you Wendy's brother?!
**[17:47] ---**
Van?
**[17:48] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[17:49] ---**
We're members of the Original 7.
This is Michael and I'm Fasalina.
**[17:52] ---**
You're a liar, Fasalina.
**[17:54] ---**
I can't imagine you came here to see us.
**[17:57] ---**
I'm sorry. But today we came to talk.
**[18:02] ---**
I was hoping we could become friends.
**[18:04] ---**
Friends?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes. I want to become friends with you all.
**[18:09] ---**
It's a little late for that.
**[18:10] ---**
You all are plotting to use your
evil Armor to conquer the world.
**[18:14] ---**
Just the opposite.
**[18:16] ---**
Huh?
**[18:16] ---**
The opposite?
**[18:17] ---**
Our Comrade is going to sacrifice
himself for the sake of world peace.
**[18:23] ---**
He's contracted a fatal illness.
**[18:27] ---**
However, in a final brilliant act,
he's going to reformat the world.
**[18:33] ---**
I needed the flowers from Hayetah
to serve as a catalyst at that time.
**[18:39] ---**
What do you mean, "reformat?"
**[18:41] ---**
It's a phenomenon in which our
Comrade analyzes himself electronically
**[18:46] ---**
and all living creatures become
identical on an unconscious level.
**[18:49] ---**
Yes! All life will have the
same idea as our Comrade.
**[18:55] ---**
Oh, what a wonderful universe.
**[18:59] ---**
Of course our Comrade
himself will be wiped out,
**[19:02] ---**
but his presence will literally
live on inside each of us...
**[19:07] ---**
forever.
**[19:10] ---**
Do you understand?
**[19:11] ---**
Our Comrade and our
organization have no name.
**[19:15] ---**
We do this all out of unconditional love.
**[19:18] ---**
Love?
**[19:20] ---**
You mean...
**[19:21] ---**
you evil bastards want
us to submit to you.
**[19:24] ---**
There won't be any hierarchy.
We'll all be the same.
**[19:28] ---**
That would be a good thing
on this planet, don't you think?
**[19:31] ---**
This planet's overrun with
violence and discrimination,
**[19:33] ---**
where the weak are constantly
forced to sacrifice themselves.
**[19:36] ---**
How can you say that
when you're the very ones
**[19:39] ---**
who are using violence
and preying upon the weak!
**[19:41] ---**
Taking people's lives for no reason.
**[19:43] ---**
You all killed Carossa
and Melissa, didn't you?
**[19:48] ---**
Gadved and Wo as well.
**[19:50] ---**
You call our Comrade evil,
but how are you all so different?
**[19:54] ---**
You're Van, right?
**[19:56] ---**
I realize you had an
unfortunate encounter...
**[20:00] ---**
but what's the point of
fostering your hatred any further?
**[20:04] ---**
Isn't it time for you to
break this sad chain?
**[20:07] ---**
Our Comrade wants to
rid people of their faults.
**[20:11] ---**
If from now on we try
to act in a like manner
**[20:15] ---**
he'll dwell in our hearts.
**[20:18] ---**
He'll curb our instincts?
That's impossible.
**[20:21] ---**
It is possible with our
Comrade's "Birthday System,"
**[20:25] ---**
along with Saudade and Michael.
**[20:28] ---**
Does that answer your question?
**[20:30] ---**
In less than a month,
the entire plan will be complete.
**[20:35] ---**
So why not stop now,
before going any further?
**[20:38] ---**
Regardless of the plan's success,
**[20:40] ---**
our Comrade will soon be dead
and your wish will have come true.
**[20:45] ---**
Isn't that good enough for you?
**[20:48] ---**
Of course. It all makes perfect sense.
**[20:52] ---**
You understand?
**[20:54] ---**
Yeah. I understand all too well.
**[20:56] ---**
That I mustn't stand around
here wasting any more time!
**[21:00] ---**
I can't stand you people
and all your highfalutin talk!
**[21:04] ---**
Those two little kids came at me head-on.
**[21:07] ---**
You've got no right to talk to me
when you didn't even try to help them.
**[21:10] ---**
Who cares what happens to the world?!
**[21:13] ---**
I'll attack quickly before
he has a chance to die,
**[21:16] ---**
and snuff out the Claw with my own hand!
**[21:18] ---**
We're in!
**[21:19] ---**
There's no giving in to evil.
**[21:21] ---**
You're here for selfish reasons.
**[21:25] ---**
I don't really understand what
you were talking about just now
**[21:28] ---**
but I want to be myself.
**[21:30] ---**
I don't like people messing with who I am!
**[21:33] ---**
That's right.
**[21:34] ---**
I just wanted to get back at you,
but now that I've heard all this
**[21:39] ---**
I realize you people are sick
and need to be stopped.
**[21:46] ---**
I see.
**[21:47] ---**
I'm truly sorry to hear that.
**[21:56] ---**
Michael, do everything according to plan.
**[21:59] ---**
Yes!
**[21:59] ---**
Fasalina, are you trying to run away again?
**[22:02] ---**
No, don't worry.
**[22:05] ---**
If you won't talk with us...
**[22:08] ---**
then I have no choice but
to detain you here for a while.
**[22:13] ---**
As I said before, we simply want
to protect our Comrade's dream.
**[22:19] ---**
And in order to do that, I will
beat you all into a bloody pulp.
**[22:25] ---**
And after that, we can
all take our time and...
**[22:32] ---**
become friends.
**[23:56] ---**
"Prayers to Heaven and Peace on Earth"
**[23:57] ---**
*Many times I thought, "What am I doing here?"*
**[24:02] ---**
*That's because my brother
had gone so far away*
**[24:04] ---**
*and I was pretty much
useless when it came to fighting.*
**[24:09] ---**
*But despite that, or
rather because of that,*
**[24:11] ---**
*I wanted to hold on tight no matter what.*
**[24:15] ---**
*Because simply being swept
away by events was scarier*
**[24:19] ---**
*than the danger of fighting.*

For my final mistake,
**[02:16] ---**
I will confront you with Dahlia.
**[02:19] ---**
I will stop you from going any further.
**[02:23] ---**
Any further?
**[02:24] ---**
Van, capture Fasalina alive.
There's something I want to ask her.
**[02:28] ---**
I know!
**[02:30] ---**
As if we had time to spare.
**[02:54] ---**
I see.
**[02:55] ---**
So the mere sight of Dahlia wasn't
enough to make you understand.
**[03:03] ---**
Why?
**[03:04] ---**
Why are you so single-minded,
missing member Van?
**[03:09] ---**
You've got it wrong.
**[03:11] ---**
I'm called "Van of the Dawn."
**[03:15] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[03:24] ---**
I heard all about you from Gadved.
**[03:28] ---**
It's still not too late.
Won't you join the Original 7?
**[03:31] ---**
I don't like group activities.
**[03:34] ---**
You're very amusing.
**[03:38] ---**
Change course!
**[03:40] ---**
Veer to the side and stop
so we don't fall under attack!
**[03:43] ---**
Yes!
**[03:44] ---**
After that, I'm leaving here on Tanda.
Take care of things while I'm gone.
**[03:47] ---**
Where are you going?
**[03:48] ---**
Just a little up ahead.
**[03:50] ---**
I'm going to find out what she's hiding.
**[03:53] ---**
I'll go too.
**[03:55] ---**
You'll be in the way. I can do this myself.
**[03:56] ---**
What if my brother's up ahead?
**[04:01] ---**
I'll make myself useful.
**[04:05] ---**
OK, as long as you take care of yourself.
**[04:09] ---**
Yes!
**[04:11] ---**
In that case, why don't I give
you an escort with Brownie?
**[04:25] ---**
I got you!
**[04:28] ---**
What am I going to do?
**[04:34] ---**
Dear me, didn't you know?
**[04:39] ---**
You're adorable.
**[04:41] ---**
You're a scary woman!
**[04:44] ---**
Please don't despise me so.
**[04:48] ---**
Let's be friends. Friends.
**[04:57] ---**
What...?
**[04:59] ---**
What the hell happened?!
**[05:01] ---**
We can't go on a mission like this!
**[05:03] ---**
Hey. Come on. Put me down, please!
**[05:06] ---**
What are you gonna do about this, kid?
**[05:08] ---**
What are you talking about?!
You're the ones who did it.
**[05:11] ---**
You said the paint peeled
off because of the heat!
**[05:13] ---**
We did?
**[05:15] ---**
Yeah, you did!
**[05:17] ---**
You said you were gonna paint it tricolor,
and then took it apart.
**[05:20] ---**
After that, you sat around
eating and drinking!
**[05:23] ---**
You don't understand...
**[05:25] ---**
That was...
**[05:26] ---**
That was us men having a strategy session.
**[05:29] ---**
No, that was just a party.
**[05:31] ---**
All right, you guys, take
care of things here.
**[05:34] ---**
We'll be back.
**[05:35] ---**
What should I do? You want me to stay here?
**[05:38] ---**
That's not necessary. Leave it to us!
**[05:40] ---**
Hey, get Yukiko to help too.
**[05:42] ---**
Right!
**[05:44] ---**
I wonder if they're really
gonna be all right.
**[05:57] ---**
Mr. Garret, where have you been?
**[06:00] ---**
We don't have time. Hurry up and get ready!
**[06:03] ---**
It's OK.
**[06:04] ---**
There's no need to panic.
I'll see to it that the plan is a success.
**[06:09] ---**
There's not a single element
which could cause it to go wrong.
**[06:12] ---**
Right...
**[06:14] ---**
Are we in communication with our Comrade?
**[06:17] ---**
Yes, Mr. Garret!
**[06:19] ---**
I was worried. Where did you go?
**[06:23] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:24] ---**
There was a problem I had to settle.
**[06:30] ---**
Did you settle it?
**[06:32] ---**
Yes.
**[06:33] ---**
I know I've caused you to worry,
but it's all right now.
**[06:37] ---**
Also, Comrade, that same
group is closing in on our base.
**[06:41] ---**
You mean... what's his name... that man?
**[06:45] ---**
That is a problem.
**[06:46] ---**
No, there's no need to worry.
Fasalina is there to handle it.
**[06:51] ---**
I see. Will she be in need of some support?
**[06:56] ---**
No, from there they
wouldn't make it in time anyway.
**[07:00] ---**
I think carrying forward with the plan is
**[07:02] ---**
exactly what Fasalina would want us to do.
**[07:05] ---**
Michael, are you going to be able to
carry things out according to plan?
**[07:09] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[07:10] ---**
Very well. We're counting on you.
**[07:12] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:14] ---**
Fasalina is really something.
**[07:18] ---**
Everyone, as you've just heard,
the timetable remains the same.
**[07:24] ---**
Let's send Michael into space.
**[07:26] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[07:32] ---**
Where did she go?
**[07:34] ---**
Over here.
**[07:39] ---**
Damn!
**[07:47] ---**
Don't make things so difficult.
**[07:50] ---**
When I see you like that,
I feel like l'm... how should I say?
**[07:57] ---**
Like I'm going to burst into...
**[08:01] ---**
flowers all over.
**[08:04] ---**
You're...
**[08:05] ---**
Yes?
**[08:07] ---**
Not like the others.
**[08:10] ---**
You seem strangely at ease.
**[08:12] ---**
I can't tell whether you
want to fight or not.
**[08:15] ---**
I don't like this feeling.
**[08:17] ---**
It gives me the creeps.
**[08:19] ---**
It's almost as if I'm fighting
that bastard, the Claw.
**[08:24] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[08:28] ---**
There's no higher compliment for me.
**[08:31] ---**
Firing system. Final status, check.
**[08:34] ---**
Switching power.

M.E. set to start from space velocity two.

**[08:43] ---**
-Automatic countdown commencing.
-Ignition command sequencer...
**[08:47] ---**
Go.
**[08:48] ---**
Wake up, Saudade.
**[08:53] ---**
The moon...
**[08:54] ---**
How's the moon's orbit?
**[08:57] ---**
Just as we expected.
**[08:58] ---**
Excellent.
**[09:02] ---**
Say, Wendy...
**[09:03] ---**
Yes?
**[09:05] ---**
Besides the twins earlier,
**[09:07] ---**
Van's been fighting these
guys for a while, hasn't he?
**[09:09] ---**
Yes.
**[09:10] ---**
He's fought all sorts in Zonnet
and other towns before we all met up.
**[09:14] ---**
Weren't you scared during those times?
**[09:16] ---**
You must have had some pretty close calls.
**[09:18] ---**
Yeah, well... there was
one time when I had a fever.
**[09:23] ---**
That must have been awful.
**[09:24] ---**
He was probably just gonna leave you there.
**[09:26] ---**
No, he looked after me while I was sick.
**[09:31] ---**
Van did?
**[09:32] ---**
Yes.
**[09:36] ---**
Wendy, since now's a good time,
there's something I want to ask you.
**[09:40] ---**
Yes?
**[09:40] ---**
Do you like Van?
**[09:47] ---**
Why are you so shaken up, Carmen?
**[09:49] ---**
You don't talk about such
things at a time like this!
**[09:52] ---**
You startled me!
**[09:53] ---**
But if we don't talk now, when can we?
**[09:57] ---**
Well, you're right.
**[09:59] ---**
So, do you, Wendy?
**[10:02] ---**
Do I...?
**[10:05] ---**
I like him.
**[10:09] ---**
I like Van.
**[10:11] ---**
It's strange, but when I heard about Elena,
**[10:15] ---**
that's when I realized
that I really do like him.
**[10:21] ---**
So, what do you think?
**[10:24] ---**
Pricilla!
**[10:24] ---**
Right!
**[10:30] ---**
That's...
**[10:35] ---**
The place is guarded!
**[10:37] ---**
I'll deal with it! Go!
**[10:40] ---**
Guess I have no choice.
**[10:41] ---**
Pricilla, you handle it!
**[10:50] ---**
You came at a bad time,
in more ways than one!
**[10:56] ---**
Delta line number 101
is reacting to something.
**[10:58] ---**
One of the missing member's friends?
**[11:01] ---**
Yes, you may be right.
**[11:06] ---**
Michael...
**[11:08] ---**
I want to push the launch forward, so is
it all right if we start the countdown?
**[11:12] ---**
I'm ready whenever you are.
**[11:13] ---**
Thank you.
**[11:15] ---**
Timer set. Begin countdown.
**[11:39] ---**
Come on, show me your desire.
**[11:46] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[11:51] ---**
Hey, kid, we've got trouble!
**[11:53] ---**
Carlos! Do you know where Carlos is?
**[11:57] ---**
He's probably off sleeping somewhere.
**[11:59] ---**
Find him!
**[12:00] ---**
Even with all of us, we can't
go on a mission without him!
**[12:03] ---**
But all Carlos ever does is sleep.
**[12:05] ---**
Idiot! His spirit must be awake!
**[12:08] ---**
Besides, he's our secret weapon.
**[12:11] ---**
He may come in handy at the last moment.
**[12:14] ---**
Go look for him!
**[12:16] ---**
Huh? Now?
**[12:24] ---**
Chesto!
**[12:29] ---**
Wild!
**[12:30] ---**
Furious!
**[12:33] ---**
You're too violent!
**[12:35] ---**
Damn you!
**[12:39] ---**
Yes, like that.
**[12:44] ---**
Do it like that and
you'll scatter my petals.
**[12:49] ---**
Stop talking nonsense!
**[12:56] ---**
What you need is some nectar.
**[13:01] ---**
A sweet, sweet nectar that will
make you forget your rage and anger.
**[13:13] ---**
You're always using some strange ploy!
**[13:17] ---**
Must be hard for you too,
having the conversation get so serious.
**[13:21] ---**
I made a rule never to do anything
unless it was for money, but now...
**[13:27] ---**
Why have you come this far with us?
**[13:31] ---**
It's obvious, isn't it?
**[13:33] ---**
I've got some unfinished
business with Fasalina.
**[13:36] ---**
There's the matter with Hayetah,
**[13:38] ---**
and I also owe her one
for what happened in Zonnet.
**[13:41] ---**
I can't let it go until I get a
few licks in to settle the score.
**[13:45] ---**
Settle the score?
**[13:46] ---**
And the truth is that I love Van,
so I want to be with him.
**[13:51] ---**
Huh, you do?!
**[13:53] ---**
No! I'm kidding.
**[14:00] ---**
Hey, over here! Over here!
**[14:02] ---**
Such an elementary attack!
**[14:04] ---**
Looks like no one's riding you either, huh?
**[14:13] ---**
There!
**[14:20] ---**
Your movements are so obvious!
**[14:31] ---**
All right. I'd better
go meet up with Carmen.
**[14:35] ---**
Liquid hydrogen and
oxygen systems prepared.
**[14:39] ---**
Flooding the bunker.
**[14:40] ---**
Weather conditions confirmed.
**[14:42] ---**
Flare is stable.
No problems with the environment.
**[14:45] ---**
Operating safe arm device.
**[14:47] ---**
Switching guidance controls to flight mode.
**[14:52] ---**
No. No. Don't do that.
I know all about you.
**[14:58] ---**
You can't move now.
**[15:01] ---**
It hurts, doesn't it?
I know it's painful and agonizing.
**[15:05] ---**
And to think, all this pain and
suffering for absolutely no reason.
**[15:09] ---**
In that case, let me go.
**[15:11] ---**
Oh, but I want to talk to you some more.
**[15:14] ---**
Don't lie!
**[15:16] ---**
I know what you're doing.
**[15:18] ---**
You're just trying to buy time, aren't you?
**[15:21] ---**
Besides, we can talk for 100 years
and I'll still never understand you.
**[15:26] ---**
You, who've given your heart
and soul to that bastard, the Claw!
**[15:32] ---**
Yes, that's right!
**[15:34] ---**
That's wonderful, you understand me.
**[15:38] ---**
Which means you can get to know
my Comrade and me even better.
**[15:44] ---**
Come on, won't you join us?
**[15:46] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[15:49] ---**
Come on, let's make the
flowers bloom together.
**[15:54] ---**
I'll take you.
**[15:57] ---**
Come on, give yourself to me.
**[16:01] ---**
Cast off everything before me.
**[16:07] ---**
Sorry, I'm a virgin,
**[16:10] ---**
and I'm not giving up my chastity to you!
**[16:18] ---**
It's not working...
**[16:27] ---**
Chesto!
**[16:30] ---**
El...
**[16:31] ---**
dora...
**[16:32] ---**
Catarata!
**[16:37] ---**
That was a close call!
**[16:39] ---**
But now that we're here,
everything's all right!
**[16:42] ---**
Don't think we're going to show
any mercy just because you're a girl!
**[16:46] ---**
I should probably thank you.
**[16:50] ---**
Oh no! Don't tell me...
**[16:53] ---**
Ah, you coward!
**[16:56] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[17:01] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:07] ---**
Could that be...
**[17:09] ---**
No! That could ruin everything!
**[17:12] ---**
If the data Melissa sent me is correct,
**[17:14] ---**
Volcain has a super-long-barrel
beam launcher!
**[17:22] ---**
That's it...
**[17:24] ---**
That's the airframe that carried
the Claw away from Zonnet.
**[17:28] ---**
There's an obstruction!
**[17:29] ---**
Where's the 101?
**[17:31] ---**
We've lost the signal!
**[17:32] ---**
It appears to have been
destroyed by enemy armor!
**[17:34] ---**
Where's Miss Fasalina?
**[17:35] ---**
She didn't want to disturb us,
so she cut all communication!
**[17:38] ---**
Everyone.
**[17:41] ---**
Please continue with the countdown.
**[17:44] ---**
It's all right. I have faith
in all of you and Fasalina.
**[17:51] ---**
*Michael, I'll see to it that
you make it into space...*
**[17:55] ---**
*for the sake of our Comrade's dream,
everyone's dream, my dream.*
**[17:59] ---**
*Yes, that's why I'm alive.*
**[18:02] ---**
*It's also how I'll redeem myself.*
**[18:22] ---**
Comrade, I've received
word from the launch base.
**[18:24] ---**
They're waiting for your permission to
start the ignition sequence as scheduled.
**[18:29] ---**
Please go ahead.
**[18:31] ---**
Ten.
**[18:32] ---**
Nine.
**[18:33] ---**
Eight.
**[18:35] ---**
Seven.
**[18:36] ---**
Six.
**[18:37] ---**
Five.
**[18:38] ---**
Four.
**[18:40] ---**
Three.
**[18:41] ---**
Two.
**[18:42] ---**
One.
**[18:43] ---**
Zero.
**[19:13] ---**
What is that?
**[19:16] ---**
Big brother?
**[19:24] ---**
Where's the woman?
**[19:25] ---**
She got away.
**[19:27] ---**
The smoke... is that her?
**[19:29] ---**
No. It's the guy who was with the Claw.
**[19:35] ---**
Could that be...
**[19:39] ---**
Saudade of Sunday is now in
orbit around Endless Illusion.
**[19:45] ---**
Detaching the rocket.
**[19:50] ---**
We've identified some debris
in the planned orbital path.
**[19:53] ---**
We diverted Fasalina's
base from its orbital path,
**[19:56] ---**
but Dann of Thursday's is still there.
**[19:58] ---**
The probability of a collision
is less than 20%, but...
**[20:03] ---**
An unforeseen situation
due to the early launch.
**[20:08] ---**
I wouldn't want anything to happen.
Let's fire a shot at it.
**[20:12] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[20:33] ---**
Michael Garret reporting.
**[20:35] ---**
My craft has successfully
removed the obstacle.
**[20:38] ---**
I will now do the planned swing-by
on route to my destination, the moon.
**[20:44] ---**
Thank you, Michael.
**[20:47] ---**
Now, please enjoy the "Time of Happiness."
**[20:51] ---**
All right, let's start getting
ready for the "Genesis Celebration."
**[20:56] ---**
Everyone at the launch base,
**[20:58] ---**
please withdraw immediately
and return here as planned.
**[21:01] ---**
Thank you!
**[21:03] ---**
It's because of you all that the
"Time of Happiness" has begun.
**[21:11] ---**
Looks like the main
power's been turned off.
**[21:13] ---**
Is there no one here?
**[21:15] ---**
I guess not.
**[21:16] ---**
Looks like they abandoned
the entire facility.
**[21:18] ---**
An immediate withdrawal
after they finished their mission.
**[21:22] ---**
They work well as a team,
**[21:24] ---**
unlike us, who can't even
keep in contact with each other.
**[21:32] ---**
Huh?
**[21:37] ---**
Carul!
**[21:38] ---**
Carmen 99!
**[21:40] ---**
There's...!
**[21:51] ---**
Oh, good!
**[21:53] ---**
I wanted to leave a message for you,
but it must have slipped my mind.
**[21:58] ---**
Let's see, what was it again...
you're the Original 7's...
**[22:02] ---**
the one Gadved...
**[22:03] ---**
You...
**[22:05] ---**
Hm? Who am I talking to?
**[22:07] ---**
The Claw!
**[22:09] ---**
Ah, Wendy!
**[22:12] ---**
I wasn't expecting you. This is perfect.
**[22:16] ---**
Aside from the message,
there's something I'd like to ask you.
**[22:23] ---**
Ask me?
**[22:24] ---**
That's right.
**[22:26] ---**
Wendy...
**[22:27] ---**
Yes?
**[22:30] ---**
Will you go on a date with me?
**[23:57] ---**
"For Whose Sake?"
**[23:58] ---**
*Strange as it
may sound, that was my first date.*
**[24:02] ---**
*I wasn't all that scared.*
**[24:05] ---**
*Anyway, I just wanted to find out
for myself what he was thinking.*
**[24:12] ---**
*No, I never had any
intention of joining his group.*
**[24:16] ---**
*Since I already had my own
group of determined, marvelous misfits.*
**[24:21] ---**

**[01:36] ---**
"For Whose Sake?"
**[02:05] ---**
So, what happened?
**[02:09] ---**
What happened...
**[02:11] ---**
I have to say, there was an unmanned
satellite serving as Dann's base.
**[02:15] ---**
What? Why can't he go back?
**[02:18] ---**
It's not there! I keep looking,
**[02:21] ---**
but there's nothing in the orbital
path which would appear to be it!
**[02:24] ---**
Not there?
**[02:26] ---**
Hey, we'll put him here for now.
**[02:29] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[02:32] ---**
He may have escaped into the sky.
**[02:35] ---**
That's not important right now.
Your life's in danger, isn't it?
**[02:38] ---**
I can still move!
**[02:41] ---**
But without Dann...
**[02:43] ---**
How much longer can you actually hold on?
**[02:45] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[02:47] ---**
We've got trouble!
**[02:49] ---**
Wendy's...!
**[02:52] ---**
*There's something I want to check out.*
**[02:54] ---**
*If I'm not back by the end of the day,
please go on ahead.*
**[03:16] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to startle you.
**[03:21] ---**
Are you all right? You're not...
**[03:24] ---**
You're not hurt are you?
**[03:31] ---**
I just fell down. I'm not hurt or anything.
**[03:36] ---**
Really? Thank goodness.
**[03:39] ---**
And I'm terribly sorry for being late.
**[03:41] ---**
I had to wait for an opening
on the transport plane.
**[03:42] ---**
There's no one else with you?
**[03:46] ---**
No, it's just me.
**[03:50] ---**
Having someone else here would
interfere with our date, wouldn't it?
**[03:55] ---**
We're enemies.
**[03:57] ---**
You didn't think I'd bring
the others along with me?
**[04:00] ---**
Of course not.
**[04:03] ---**
You wouldn't drag others
into a dangerous situation.
**[04:07] ---**
That's why I wanted to see you again.
**[04:10] ---**
Is this Michael's?
**[04:14] ---**
It's mine now.
**[04:18] ---**
Say, where's my brother?
**[04:23] ---**
Is he in the center of the island?
**[04:24] ---**
No, he's on an errand to the moon.
**[04:32] ---**
Regularly scheduled report
from Michael Garret.
**[04:35] ---**
Currently, as of 33 hours,
7 percent of the work is done.
**[04:40] ---**
Have there been any revisions to the plan?
**[04:42] ---**
No changes. Continue by
maintaining the status quo.
**[04:46] ---**
Roger. Continuing with the plan.
**[04:49] ---**
I see. I'll tell him.
**[04:52] ---**
Please do.
**[04:54] ---**
There's another thing.
**[04:58] ---**
Are you going to die soon?
**[05:00] ---**
Yes.
**[05:02] ---**
Why are you going to sacrifice yourself
**[05:05] ---**
and cause people so much trouble? Why?
**[05:09] ---**
No one wants you to...
**[05:10] ---**
Why are you asking such things?
**[05:13] ---**
Why?
**[05:16] ---**
You should be able to tell.
**[05:19] ---**
You sense the true significance
of what I'm trying to do,
**[05:22] ---**
not just what it appears
to be on the surface.
**[05:29] ---**
I heard about it from Michael.
**[05:33] ---**
All the injustices the
two of you encountered,
**[05:37] ---**
and the senseless violence
you were submitted to.
**[05:39] ---**
He told you?
**[05:42] ---**
But that's the way the world is,
and there's nothing we can do about it.
**[05:46] ---**
That's giving up, isn't it?
**[05:49] ---**
Let's create the world we all hoped for.
**[05:52] ---**
I suppose things may get confused
before that happens, but it'll be OK.
**[05:58] ---**
My dream has taken
everything into consideration,
**[06:00] ---**
and eventually no one will be hurt.
**[06:05] ---**
But even so, I still don't...
**[06:09] ---**
Why?
**[06:12] ---**
Why do you need my brother for this plan?
**[06:17] ---**
Why did you force him to come with you?
**[06:20] ---**
I heard that Michael had the abilities
to get the Original 7 going,
**[06:26] ---**
as well as the talent to
join people together.
**[06:30] ---**
That was just the kind of person
I wanted to create this new world for.
**[06:34] ---**
I wanted to meet and talk to him in person,
**[06:36] ---**
but my physical condition
wouldn't allow it.
**[06:40] ---**
I never imagined the person I sent
to find him would use such violence.
**[06:45] ---**
You're a coward!
How awful for you to say that now!
**[06:48] ---**
Yes, that's right. You're exactly right.
**[06:52] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:58] ---**
I don't know what to do.
**[07:01] ---**
I can't think of you as
a bad person anymore.
**[07:06] ---**
If it's all right, won't you
share my dream with me?
**[07:11] ---**
You can see the birth of this new world,
my dream, with your own eyes.
**[07:25] ---**
I can't do that.
**[07:28] ---**
That's the wonderful thing about you.
Don't change when you get older.
**[07:36] ---**
I should have...
**[07:38] ---**
I should have met you all sooner.
**[07:43] ---**
Much sooner...
**[07:49] ---**
I leave the new world to you all.
**[07:52] ---**
Goodbye.
**[08:03] ---**
What are we going to do?
**[08:06] ---**
We've lost the space depot.
**[08:09] ---**
Dann can't move worth a damn.
**[08:11] ---**
Our enemy has tons of Armor!
**[08:14] ---**
And now, just when they start the operation
Fasalina mentioned, Wendy disappears.
**[08:20] ---**
Where do we even begin?
**[08:27] ---**
I'm back.
**[08:28] ---**
Where did you go?! You had us all worried!
**[08:31] ---**
Well...
**[08:33] ---**
I went to meet someone.
**[08:35] ---**
Who?
**[08:37] ---**
The Claw.
**[08:39] ---**
You mean the enemy boss?!
**[08:41] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:44] ---**
Where?
**[08:46] ---**
Where is he now?
**[08:47] ---**
He's gone back to the center of the island.
**[08:50] ---**
Why didn't you let me know?
**[08:54] ---**
But Dann's not working.
**[08:57] ---**
That has nothing to do with it.
**[08:59] ---**
The only thing that matters is that...
**[09:01] ---**
I kill him with my own hands!
**[09:04] ---**
I don't give a damn what
happens after that!
**[09:05] ---**
If you're so hell-bent on getting revenge,
then go get it yourself!
**[09:10] ---**
I went to meet him because
I had something to ask him.
**[09:13] ---**
There was something
I needed to confirm for myself!
**[09:17] ---**
Wendy...
**[09:19] ---**
I'm not a child.
**[09:25] ---**
Was he doing well?
**[09:27] ---**
Yes, and he wanted me
to tell you something.
**[09:32] ---**
He said he's sorry about
ruining that satellite up in the sky.
**[09:37] ---**
I see. So it was him.
**[09:40] ---**
The rat bastard.
**[09:44] ---**
Were you able to find out anything else?
**[09:46] ---**
Yes. Actually...
**[09:50] ---**
The moon, huh?
**[09:54] ---**
The enemy boss is here.
Forget about the other thing for now.
**[09:59] ---**
We have to do something
about Van's Armor too.
**[10:01] ---**
Right.
**[10:02] ---**
Without his Armor, he'll die.
**[10:06] ---**
Shall we call Bucci to fix it?
**[10:08] ---**
The guy who undid the unified system?!
**[10:11] ---**
You keep saying that! It's the same Armor.
**[10:13] ---**
I told you, it's different!
**[10:15] ---**
Compared to other Armor,
**[10:16] ---**
the technology and design concept
for Van's is fundamentally different.
**[10:21] ---**
It won't work without equipment from
the same line or a special engineer.
**[10:25] ---**
Oh! Hey, Van...
**[10:28] ---**
Yeah?
**[10:29] ---**
Fasalina's Armor came down
from the sky too, didn't it?
**[10:33] ---**
Yeah, apparently each Original 7
member has a space depot.
**[10:37] ---**
Wouldn't the depot for
someone who's gone be empty?
**[10:42] ---**
We can use it, right?
**[10:46] ---**
If it was Gadved's Diablo,
it shouldn't be so different from Dann.
**[10:50] ---**
What? You can rent an empty depot?
**[10:53] ---**
If we do that, it'll repair itself?
**[10:55] ---**
Don't know.
**[10:57] ---**
But it beats sitting here waiting.
**[11:00] ---**
I'll go with him.
**[11:03] ---**
I like your determination. We'll help too.
**[11:06] ---**
Where's the depot?
**[11:09] ---**
It's in outer space.
**[11:10] ---**
Outer space?
**[11:12] ---**
What part of the sky?
**[11:13] ---**
We'll toss it there with Eldora Soul.
**[11:16] ---**
I wonder if it's floating.
**[11:19] ---**
Um...
**[11:21] ---**
Van, we've got a serious problem!
**[11:23] ---**
No one knows about outer space!
**[11:25] ---**
I don't know about it either.
**[11:26] ---**
Is it a building?
**[11:27] ---**
The name of a town?
**[11:28] ---**
What?!
**[11:32] ---**
As for outer space,
it's just as I've explained to you.
**[11:35] ---**
It's not the best definition,
but you get the general idea.
**[11:39] ---**
You can gather details from
the materials they left behind here.
**[11:42] ---**
Next, let's talk about the orbital path
of this planet, Endless Illusion.
**[11:47] ---**
Can't we just toss it up there?
**[11:49] ---**
You idiot!
**[11:50] ---**
What?!
**[11:51] ---**
Even when I was at the development lab,
determining the escape velocity
**[11:54] ---**
and calculating the orbital path
was enough to put a project on ice.
**[11:57] ---**
And all of a sudden
we'll try for a manned flight?!
**[11:59] ---**
Just one mistake could cause
Van to crash to the ground,
**[12:03] ---**
or fly off to the ends of the universe,
and that would be it!
**[12:06] ---**
Joshua, is this plan feasible or not?
**[12:11] ---**
The launch data and orbital
diagrams are still here.
**[12:16] ---**
We'll study them to death
and work until we collapse.
**[12:19] ---**
But, we'll still need
input from the others,
**[12:22] ---**
and I'm not sure whether the hover
base alone can provide enough power.
**[12:30] ---**
Let's do it.
**[12:31] ---**
Ah, but...
**[12:32] ---**
If we don't, Van's going to...
**[12:34] ---**
Going to die.
**[12:36] ---**
If he dies, it's all over.
**[12:39] ---**
If we don't do anything,
we're as good as dead.
**[12:42] ---**
It's do or die.
**[12:43] ---**
Right! If we're ready to die,
I know we can do it!
**[12:46] ---**
Hey there, stop saying "die" all the time.
**[12:50] ---**
What's the matter? It's
the truth, isn't it?
**[12:55] ---**
Shall we give it a shot?
**[12:56] ---**
Yeah!
**[14:52] ---**
No.
**[14:54] ---**
If we have the Jingu Engine,
**[14:55] ---**
we can secure a steady supply of energy for
**[14:57] ---**
the high power generating system.
**[15:00] ---**
That has nothing to do with me.
**[15:01] ---**
You were trying to find us, weren't you?
**[15:05] ---**
You used the receiver you gave to Van.
**[15:07] ---**
If you joined us, you
wouldn't have to do that.
**[15:09] ---**
Besides, it looks like both of
Volcain's arms are damaged.
**[15:13] ---**
I'm doing this on my own.
**[15:20] ---**
You bitch.
**[15:21] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:23] ---**
But what's someone who can't
even dodge a slap doing on his own?
**[15:28] ---**
Yukiko...
**[15:29] ---**
Looks like you're on edge.
**[15:32] ---**
Why don't you eat a good meal,
sleep, and think it over carefully?
**[15:37] ---**
If you keep going like
this, you'll end up...
**[15:39] ---**
Big brother!
**[15:44] ---**
In that case, use us then.
**[15:47] ---**
You can think of us as your tools.
**[15:49] ---**
So stop saying that you're going alone!
**[15:58] ---**
Wow, I can't believe it's
able to do all this.
**[16:02] ---**
That's one fine piece of machinery.
**[16:04] ---**
It's a top class generator,
that's for sure.
**[16:07] ---**
There's no way you could
install it in Armor,
**[16:10] ---**
but it lights up the whole town!
**[16:12] ---**
What if we attached it to Eldora Soul?
**[16:15] ---**
You wouldn't be able to move.
**[16:20] ---**
That should meet the minimum conditions.
**[16:23] ---**
It took us exactly one week.
**[16:26] ---**
Hey, that's my camera, isn't it?
**[16:28] ---**
Sorry!
**[16:29] ---**
What's a camera good
for if we don't use it now?
**[16:32] ---**
That's right!
**[16:33] ---**
We should take a picture of everyone.
**[16:35] ---**
Oh, I agree!
**[16:38] ---**
Well, but um, I...
**[16:41] ---**
It won't be a group photo
if you're not in it.
**[16:44] ---**
Hey, you too, Wendy!
**[16:46] ---**
But, where should I...
**[16:48] ---**
There's a space next to me.
Hurry up and sit.
**[16:51] ---**
Could it be you're still upset
about what you said to Van?
**[16:55] ---**
What? Did she say something?
**[16:57] ---**
See, he's a simple guy,
so don't take him too seriously.
**[17:02] ---**
Yes.
**[17:03] ---**
All right, I'm gonna take it!
**[17:05] ---**
Barrio, hurry up!
**[17:07] ---**
Right!
**[17:09] ---**
Just get in the picture, will you!
**[17:12] ---**
When we were fighting
the Zauras Empire...
**[17:14] ---**
Van, raise your head. It's about to snap.
When we were fighting the Zauras Empire...
**[17:16] ---**
Van, raise your head. It's about to snap.
**[17:17] ---**
Yeah. Yeah.
**[17:20] ---**
Thanks, young lady.
**[17:31] ---**
The work went quickly,
thanks to Ray joining up with us.
**[17:35] ---**
Yeah, even though he's only
been doing repairs, it's been a help.
**[17:39] ---**
We used Brownie's analytical
abilities as well.
**[17:42] ---**
And we needed Eldora Soul to carry things.
**[17:45] ---**
At long last, tomorrow's the day.
**[17:50] ---**
Yeah, if we fail after all this hard work,
**[17:52] ---**
I wonder if I should forget
everything and just get married.
**[17:55] ---**
Is there someone?
**[17:56] ---**
You sure know what to say, don't you?
**[17:59] ---**
I swear, I don't think he's planning
on ever returning this thing to Ray.
**[18:03] ---**
What am I gonna do with him?
**[18:05] ---**
What?!
**[18:11] ---**
I'm a virgin.
**[18:13] ---**
What's a virgin?
**[18:16] ---**
Um... hey...
**[18:20] ---**
Anyway, about what you said...
that other stuff about me...
**[18:26] ---**
Is it a problem?
**[18:27] ---**
No. It's just...
**[18:29] ---**
to be honest... right now I...
**[18:32] ---**
well, um... about that...
you know... I am...
**[18:38] ---**
I'm sorry to bother you.
But I wanted to tell you now.
**[18:42] ---**
I wanted you to know how l felt about you.
**[18:46] ---**
I have copies of the photo for
everyone, so don't worry about it.
**[18:54] ---**
Will you give me an answer
after you get back?
**[18:59] ---**
I'll wait for you.
**[19:01] ---**
I'll wait until you come back,
strong and healthy.
**[19:05] ---**
You can tell me then.
**[19:07] ---**
All right.
**[19:10] ---**
I'll come back no matter what.
**[19:12] ---**
That's a promise?
**[19:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:18] ---**
So, Van, what's a virgin?
**[19:27] ---**
Big brother.
**[19:29] ---**
What will you do if you meet the Claw now?
**[19:32] ---**
Kill him.
**[19:34] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[19:35] ---**
Joshua, why are you helping me?
**[19:39] ---**
Didn't you want to stop me?
**[19:43] ---**
But you can't do the
repairs all by yourself.
**[19:46] ---**
And I'm the only one
who'll look out for you.
**[19:55] ---**
I'm going to go lie down for a bit.
**[19:58] ---**
Why?
**[20:03] ---**
Give it back to Ray?
**[20:05] ---**
Me?
**[20:17] ---**
Hey.
**[20:24] ---**
I don't need it anymore.
**[20:28] ---**
You can't see.
**[20:31] ---**
You're the one whose body
is falling apart, aren't you?
**[20:35] ---**
Looks like you'll die tomorrow, no?
**[20:37] ---**
I'm gonna get better, up there in the sky.
**[20:40] ---**
Then, take your time. I'll kill the Claw.
**[20:44] ---**
Really? I don't think that'll work.
**[20:46] ---**
Since I'm the one who has to do it.
**[20:49] ---**
Two people going after one man.
**[20:53] ---**
We're one too many.
**[20:55] ---**
That's right.
**[20:58] ---**
I say we fix the problem.
**[21:00] ---**
I agree.
**[21:04] ---**
How nice. Looks like we have the same idea!
**[21:11] ---**
There!
**[21:22] ---**
You piece of junk.
**[21:23] ---**
You old jalopy.
**[21:24] ---**
I'm the one who's going to kill the Claw.
**[21:27] ---**
Wait a sec. You mean I am, don't you?
**[21:30] ---**
No, l am.
**[21:33] ---**
If you can do it, then be my guest.
**[21:36] ---**
Same goes for you.
**[21:42] ---**
I don't like you,
but that Armor of yours is good.
**[21:48] ---**
You also seem blessed
with Armor and women.
**[21:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:13] ---**
Van, how are you doing?
**[22:15] ---**
Not bad.
**[22:16] ---**
We probably won't be able
to communicate after liftoff.
**[22:19] ---**
I know.
**[22:21] ---**
It will work, won't it?
**[22:23] ---**
If our enemy's technical
abilities are sound.
**[22:25] ---**
You'll come back soon, right?
**[22:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:29] ---**
Van, we're just about ready.
**[22:31] ---**
Yeah, let's get this over with.
**[22:36] ---**
Wendy.
**[22:38] ---**
If I run into your brother up there,
I'll kick his ass.
**[22:42] ---**
That's OK. Just come home safely.
**[22:46] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:49] ---**
Have a good trip, Van.
**[23:05] ---**
Miss Fasalina...
**[23:06] ---**
an unidentified object has
been launched from the tech base.
**[23:09] ---**
What's its orbit?
**[23:11] ---**
It's headed for outer space.
**[23:13] ---**
It doesn't appear to be an ICBM,
but do you want me to track it?
**[23:17] ---**
Please do.
**[23:18] ---**
Very well. I'll put a chaser on it.
**[23:23] ---**
This is Michael Garret
reporting from Saudade.
**[23:26] ---**
43 percent of the work is done.
**[23:30] ---**
I will now be going behind
the far side of the moon.
**[23:32] ---**
Roger.
**[23:33] ---**
Set the channel to 12
after arrival at destination.
**[23:36] ---**
Right.
**[23:38] ---**
This is what the moon really looks like.
**[23:44] ---**
Emergency communication from Saudade!
**[23:46] ---**
The system... The moon system is...!
**[23:56] ---**
"A Song for Everyone"
**[23:57] ---**
*It's strange.*
**[23:59] ---**
*Even though the world
was headed for disaster,*
**[24:02] ---**
*we hardly changed at all.*
**[24:05] ---**
*We all knew what each of us had to do,
so that's what we focused on.*
**[24:10] ---**
*We weren't chosen or
asked by anyone in particular.*
**[24:14] ---**
*We were just ordinary people.*
**[24:17] ---**
*But it turned out we were in the center
of an enormous catastrophe.*

"A Song for Everyone"
**[02:19] ---**
Miss Fasalina, the fired
object came in contact with
**[02:22] ---**
an unused base and then
broke up and dispersed.
**[02:25] ---**
The base has strayed
from its orbit as well.
**[02:28] ---**
The impact's shock appears to
have partially damaged the base,
**[02:31] ---**
it's not responding to the destruct signal.
**[02:33] ---**
What are the chances of it falling?
**[02:34] ---**
Zero. It'll drift outside
the gravitational range.
**[02:37] ---**
I see. What about the chase probe?
**[02:39] ---**
Headquarters! This is Saudade!
**[02:41] ---**
What's the matter?
**[02:44] ---**
Is that you, Fasalina?
Thank goodness you made it back safely.
**[02:47] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:48] ---**
What is it? Is there a
problem with the plan?
**[02:51] ---**
No, it's just that I'm caught in a
fluid substance on the moon's surface.
**[02:55] ---**
I'm verifying my present location.
**[02:58] ---**
It's an enormous ringed structure
and deep inside there's...
**[03:02] ---**
What's that?
**[03:02] ---**
Oh, is it still there?
**[03:07] ---**
Saudade's caught in a guidance
system with a fluid exterior.
**[03:12] ---**
The thing inside is a spaceship
**[03:14] ---**
which escaped from Mother Earth
and took refuge on the moon.
**[03:16] ---**
A spaceship? But...
**[03:25] ---**
Comrade, is this...
**[03:27] ---**
Michael, right now you
are looking at my past.
**[03:32] ---**
The people there are my companions
**[03:35] ---**
from when I escaped
Mother Earth long ago...
**[03:38] ---**
My friends with whom I shared my dream.
**[03:41] ---**
They were all filled with love and yet
**[03:45] ---**
they ended up killing each other.
**[03:49] ---**
That's where I learned the hard way.
**[03:53] ---**
No matter how much people progress...
**[03:56] ---**
no matter how much they try
to change their environment...
**[03:58] ---**
they cannot escape
their stagnant instincts.
**[04:01] ---**
I couldn't take it anymore.
**[04:03] ---**
I swore...
**[04:05] ---**
that no matter what,
I'd create a world without conflict!
**[04:11] ---**
Michael, I saw your sister.
**[04:16] ---**
It pains me to think I've made
her even the slightest bit unhappy.
**[04:24] ---**
No, please don't worry.
**[04:27] ---**
Everything you're doing is
for the sake of the world...
**[04:30] ---**
which means you're doing
it for my sister as well.
**[04:33] ---**
That's why, Comrade...
**[04:34] ---**
I am now truly living in
"The Time of Happiness."
**[04:40] ---**
Even if people don't understand now,
**[04:43] ---**
I'm sure the day will come when
they'll see eye to eye with you.
**[04:47] ---**
You're right.
**[04:49] ---**
Well then, shall we begin?
**[04:51] ---**
Activate "Birthday."
**[04:53] ---**
Activating.
**[04:54] ---**
Point BD.
**[04:55] ---**
Point RD.
Commencing information.
**[04:57] ---**
Area 120 and 140 set to random.
**[05:01] ---**
Roger.
**[05:02] ---**
Proceeding with observation.
**[05:04] ---**
Saudade, setup is complete.
**[05:06] ---**
Prison Planet Destroyer
System start up confirmed.
**[05:09] ---**
Birthday, primary activation complete.
**[05:12] ---**
Sending signal to the system.
**[05:14] ---**
Roger.
**[05:15] ---**
Well then!
**[05:17] ---**
Comrade!
**[05:18] ---**
Michael!
**[05:38] ---**
System operation confirmed!
**[05:40] ---**
Check orbit.
**[05:41] ---**
Checking orbit...
**[05:43] ---**
successful!
**[05:44] ---**
System is approaching Endless Illusion.
**[05:47] ---**
Switch Saudade over to second mission.
**[05:50] ---**
Roger. Moving on to second.
**[05:53] ---**
Confirm main body functions.
**[05:54] ---**
Confirming functions.
**[05:56] ---**
All systems go.
**[05:58] ---**
No problems with the physical
condition or ventilation control system.
**[06:01] ---**
Roger. Switch over to third.
**[06:03] ---**
Confirming third.
**[06:05] ---**
Craft returning home while guarding system.
**[06:11] ---**
I wonder if they're the ones
who shot that light beam.
**[06:14] ---**
That's what I think.
**[06:16] ---**
I hope they weren't aiming for Van.
**[06:18] ---**
Hey!
**[06:19] ---**
You idiot! Don't say that. It's bad luck.
**[06:22] ---**
Did Van make it to the depot?
**[06:25] ---**
We haven't had any
communication since the launch,
**[06:28] ---**
but he should have long since arrived.
**[06:31] ---**
I wish there was some way we could be sure.
**[06:33] ---**
Yeah, me too.
**[06:35] ---**
But that's totally impossible.
**[06:37] ---**
We don't even know how long
it will take for him to heal.
**[06:41] ---**
Don't say that now.
**[06:42] ---**
It's all right! Remember, it's Van!
**[06:45] ---**
That's not a reason.
**[06:47] ---**
It's not a reason...
**[06:49] ---**
but don't you get that feeling
when you think about him?
**[06:54] ---**
You're right.
**[06:55] ---**
Damn straight! He's our disciple.
**[06:58] ---**
Outer space, outer schmace. He'll be fine.
**[07:00] ---**
We'll name his Armor
"Eldora Dann" when he gets back.
**[07:03] ---**
Great idea!
**[07:04] ---**
He'll love that.
**[07:06] ---**
I wonder.
**[07:09] ---**
Joshua, just to be safe,
let's try to reinforce our defenses.
**[07:13] ---**
We can make some bombs with
the leftover fuel from the launch.
**[07:16] ---**
OK. Go ahead and do it.
**[07:18] ---**
All right. And about what's next...
**[07:21] ---**
my brother wants to head
for the Claw's central facilities.
**[07:26] ---**
I guess we have to go there anyway.
**[07:28] ---**
But we'll stop if we run into danger.
**[07:31] ---**
Yes, of course.
**[07:33] ---**
I wonder how long it'll take.
**[07:35] ---**
Assuming we proceed with caution,
about 7 days, no?
**[07:39] ---**
So the decisive battle is in a week.
**[07:42] ---**
I hope Van will be ready by then.
**[07:47] ---**
Please select.
**[07:49] ---**
This satellite base has
a different code number.
**[07:52] ---**
Fuselage and prisoner
initial registration is required
**[07:55] ---**
in order to execute the
restoration program.
**[07:58] ---**
Verifying intention through voice input.
**[07:59] ---**
Hurry up and start!
Verifying intention through voice input.
**[08:01] ---**
Why the hell do you think I came here?
**[08:04] ---**
Fix me already!
**[08:06] ---**
Verifying administration of
prisoner's physical condition.
**[08:09] ---**
Shall I re-adjust the
Armor Interface Implant?
**[08:12] ---**
If you are injured...
**[08:13] ---**
My whole body's injured! And so is Dann's!
**[08:16] ---**
I understand. Executing program.
**[08:20] ---**
Sorry, Gadved...
**[08:23] ---**
I'm borrowing your depot for a while.
**[08:35] ---**
Comrade, you've given me a new way of life.
**[08:40] ---**
If I hadn't met you, I'd
still be in that town...
**[08:44] ---**
locked up inside
myself, selling my body.
**[08:49] ---**
I want you to know again how
thankful l am for having met you.
**[08:53] ---**
I'm the one who should be
thanking you for Michael.
**[08:59] ---**
In the event Saudade's
transformation mechanism is interfered with
**[09:02] ---**
as a result of the system...
**[09:04] ---**
You ordered the metallic fibers,
**[09:06] ---**
so he'll be able to safely
re-enter the atmosphere,
**[09:09] ---**
even after Saudade has
carried out its mission.
**[09:13] ---**
Well, that's because, um...
**[09:16] ---**
The beach is a good place for a date.
You should go there.
**[09:22] ---**
At this rate, it looks like we'll finish
the improvements before we get there.
**[09:26] ---**
In any case, Shino was great
the way she made this Armor.
**[09:31] ---**
Joshua.
**[09:32] ---**
Yes?
**[09:34] ---**
I'm going to kill the Claw with Volcain.
**[09:36] ---**
It's something you were opposed to.
**[09:40] ---**
Are you all right with it?
**[09:44] ---**
But I can't stop you anymore, can I?
**[09:49] ---**
I want you to live, big brother.
I want you to keep living.
**[09:53] ---**
If you must kill the Claw
in order to move on,
**[09:57] ---**
then that's what I want you to do.
**[09:59] ---**
I want to help you do it.
**[10:01] ---**
Because that's all I can do!
**[10:03] ---**
It's the only thing I can
do for you, and for Shino...
**[10:08] ---**
the woman you loved!
**[10:17] ---**
I brought you a late-night snack.
**[10:19] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[10:21] ---**
It's nothing to get worked up about.
**[10:23] ---**
Carmen said she wanted to go over
the course with you afterwards.
**[10:28] ---**
Got it! Is she in the salon?
**[10:30] ---**
You can go after you eat.
The stew's going to get cold.
**[10:33] ---**
No, I'll go now.
**[10:35] ---**
Really?
**[10:36] ---**
Yes!
**[10:41] ---**
You've gained some weight.
**[10:44] ---**
Yes, you seem healthy now.
**[10:47] ---**
From the looks of it,
I'd say you could do anything.
**[10:50] ---**
There's only one thing I need to do.
**[10:54] ---**
What are you going to do,
once you've done it?
**[11:00] ---**
I want to take Volcain and...
**[11:04] ---**
sink it in the calm ocean.
**[11:08] ---**
In the deep, calm ocean waters,
where no one will ever come.
**[11:13] ---**
Once I've done that, Shino will finally...
**[11:41] ---**
Huh?! What the hell's going on?!
**[11:48] ---**
The moon...?
**[12:15] ---**
Wow! Something's seriously
wrong with the moon.
**[12:19] ---**
And we're almost there.
Stop giving us things to worry about.
**[12:24] ---**
We'll be OK if we hit the
central base by today, right?
**[12:27] ---**
I wish.
**[12:29] ---**
Man! Now, here we are all of a sudden,
having to save the world.
**[12:32] ---**
The world?
**[12:34] ---**
Us?
**[12:35] ---**
I wonder if quitting is still an option.
**[12:38] ---**
It's a good thing, isn't it?
**[12:40] ---**
You don't get a chance to
save the world every day.
**[12:44] ---**
It's every hero's dream.
**[12:45] ---**
Justice's ultimate goal.
**[12:47] ---**
Don't take things too seriously.
We'll just give it everything we've got.
**[12:52] ---**
Nothing's going to stop us!
**[12:54] ---**
Let's take this by the short
hairs and save the world!
**[12:58] ---**
With this bunch of misfits?
**[13:00] ---**
Well, it appears there's no one else
able to stop them, that's for sure.
**[13:05] ---**
What is it? About 6 hours
more until we get there?
**[13:08] ---**
Yes. We should start preparing for war.
**[13:11] ---**
And the moon really does
appear to be losing its orbit.
**[13:15] ---**
What? It's not just shining bright?
**[13:17] ---**
No. The moon is falling.
**[13:20] ---**
Which means...
**[13:21] ---**
We're all going to die, right?
**[13:22] ---**
We have to stop it.
**[13:24] ---**
Yeah. That's right.
**[13:26] ---**
Yukiko.
**[13:27] ---**
Ahead of us lies the battlefield
**[13:29] ---**
where we'll spill our blood and give
the last full measure of our lives.
**[13:34] ---**
We're lucky to have such a
great contest for our final battle.
**[13:38] ---**
We are glad to have been
counted amongst the brave.
**[13:41] ---**
So if you're here because you're
concerned about us, don't bother.
**[13:47] ---**
Get off the boat.
**[13:50] ---**
Old-timer...
**[13:51] ---**
It's up to you.
**[13:57] ---**
I'm staying.
**[14:01] ---**
If the moon is falling,
it doesn't matter where I run.
**[14:04] ---**
Besides, there's something
I want to confirm.
**[14:07] ---**
OK.
**[14:08] ---**
Very well.
**[14:09] ---**
So long as it's your decision.
**[14:11] ---**
We should start getting the Armor ready.
**[14:14] ---**
Right!
**[14:14] ---**
Yeah, I'll get Brownie ready too!
**[14:21] ---**
I've warned you,
yet why won't you people stop?
**[14:26] ---**
Fasalina!
**[14:27] ---**
Moreover, at a critical
time such as this...
**[14:30] ---**
your fixation...
**[14:32] ---**
personal feelings...
**[14:34] ---**
and reckless delusions
are causing trouble.
**[14:36] ---**
As descendants of sinners, we are
the very ones who should redeem them...
**[14:42] ---**
Yes, it is you people
who are the true evil.
**[14:47] ---**
That voice... it's that woman, isn't it?
**[14:50] ---**
This is where I settle my score with
you and make my way to the Claw.
**[14:59] ---**
If that's wrong, that's fine by me!
**[15:10] ---**
101 attack.
**[15:26] ---**
Can you hear me, big brother?!
**[15:27] ---**
Yeah, no problem.
**[15:29] ---**
L60, K65!
**[15:34] ---**
Fusillade A, E, 55!
**[15:38] ---**
No, don't tell me Ray's...
**[15:40] ---**
You just figured it out?
His eyes are no good.
**[15:49] ---**
Set target for hover base.
**[15:51] ---**
No, you don't!
**[16:00] ---**
LOS!
**[16:02] ---**
J30!
**[16:06] ---**
My available target area?
**[16:08] ---**
You're good! Go!
**[16:13] ---**
Big brother, A75!
**[16:15] ---**
Her Armor!
**[16:21] ---**
Can you keep up your attack?
**[16:25] ---**
Can you think on your feet?
**[16:28] ---**
You loathsome spirit...
**[16:30] ---**
Goodbye. I'll see you in the new world.
**[16:33] ---**
Big brother!
**[16:35] ---**
Amigo!
**[16:39] ---**
What?
**[16:41] ---**
We'll protect the hover base.
**[16:43] ---**
You clear the path for the assault!
**[16:46] ---**
You're just getting in the way!
**[16:48] ---**
You've got a lot to learn, kid.
**[16:51] ---**
You're not gonna get anywhere on your own!
**[16:54] ---**
Together we ate Yukiko's meals.
**[16:56] ---**
Together...
**[16:57] ---**
we fight!
**[17:04] ---**
Big brother, what should I do about that?
**[17:06] ---**
Keep it ready.
**[17:08] ---**
Right.
**[17:08] ---**
And I don't need any more guidance.
**[17:11] ---**
I should be able to handle
things if it's just her alone.
**[17:14] ---**
That's amazing. Even you
people have banded together.
**[17:19] ---**
We haven't banded into anything.
**[17:20] ---**
Then what are you doing?
**[17:22] ---**
I don't know. Good question.
But this really is...
**[17:26] ---**
a ship of fools.
**[17:28] ---**
Then why not part with this idiocy?
**[17:31] ---**
Shut up, you servant whore to the Claw!
**[17:39] ---**
Mr. Garret, I'm terribly sorry.
**[17:41] ---**
The debris headed for the
stars appears to have been
**[17:44] ---**
trapped by the moon's gravitational force.
**[17:47] ---**
It's an unused satellite
base registered to Gadved.
**[17:52] ---**
Can you please clear it out of the way?
**[17:55] ---**
Roger.
**[17:56] ---**
How ironic.
**[17:58] ---**
Here I am destroying two bases with
Saudade which doesn't even have a base.
**[18:05] ---**
*I'm sorry, Gadved...*
**[18:18] ---**
I don't know who you are, but thanks.
**[18:21] ---**
I couldn't get out of the depot
and didn't know what to do.
**[18:24] ---**
But don't just suddenly fire like that.
**[18:28] ---**
You damn near killed me!
**[18:31] ---**
Why...
**[18:33] ---**
Why is he here?!
**[18:34] ---**
Mr. Garret, we're checking!
Just a moment...
**[18:37] ---**
It can't be! Dann of
Thursday's signal is...!
**[18:40] ---**
The missing member?
**[18:41] ---**
How long has he been inside there?
**[18:43] ---**
Don't tell me he's been waiting
in ambush for over 10 days!
**[18:45] ---**
Damn it! It'll create a
barrier to the system.
**[18:47] ---**
The "Time of Happiness" will...
**[18:50] ---**
What?
**[18:51] ---**
He's in space?
**[18:53] ---**
Yes, and Fasalina is engaged
with that group from before.
**[18:58] ---**
Saudade reporting to Headquarters.
I'll dispose of the obstacle.
**[19:01] ---**
But you'll risk re-entering the atmosphere!
**[19:04] ---**
I'll be finished before that happens.
**[19:07] ---**
So you want to fight?
**[19:12] ---**
Not this again?
**[19:13] ---**
Van, you never learn!
**[19:16] ---**
So, it's the idiot brother, huh?
**[19:18] ---**
You're the fool who tempted my sister
away and got in my Comrade's way!
**[19:22] ---**
I'm going to settle this here and now.
**[19:25] ---**
Get out of here, you joker!
**[19:27] ---**
Hey, stop! I said stop!
**[19:30] ---**
Whoa!
**[19:31] ---**
What?
**[19:32] ---**
Hey, shut that thing off.
It's making me feel sick!
**[19:34] ---**
No! I have to make sure you're dead.
**[19:37] ---**
Then I'll have to teach you a lesson!
**[19:39] ---**
That's impossible!
**[19:40] ---**
Sorry, but I promised Wendy that...
**[19:43] ---**
I'd kick your ass!
**[19:46] ---**
Mr. Garret!
**[19:47] ---**
Why don't we fire a C beam from here?
**[19:48] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
We can't generate enough energy!
**[19:50] ---**
Everyone!
**[19:52] ---**
Please calm down.
**[19:54] ---**
Let Michael handle it.
The plan remains the same.
**[19:58] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[20:00] ---**
But he really is quite a character.
**[20:04] ---**
What's his name...
**[20:08] ---**
Damn you!
**[20:10] ---**
Our Comrade's going to die
regardless of you anyway.
**[20:12] ---**
Why can't you accept that?
It's just a matter of hours!
**[20:15] ---**
I have to kill him myself!
**[20:18] ---**
You're an idiot! A stupid, damn idiot!
**[20:21] ---**
Those are personal feelings.
Don't be so childish!
**[20:24] ---**
People and life itself need to be awoken!
**[20:28] ---**
I don't know what you're talking about!
**[20:31] ---**
Why can't you look towards the future?
**[20:34] ---**
Why can't you let go of the past?
**[20:36] ---**
It's that same old vicious love-hate
circle from the previous age!
**[20:39] ---**
I don't like this.
**[20:40] ---**
Just because you're intelligent
doesn't mean you should be prideful!
**[20:44] ---**
Look at this planet!
**[20:45] ---**
This imitation of Mother Earth,
**[20:47] ---**
a prison planet with a culture
and science of chaos,
**[20:50] ---**
where only the last vestiges
of a partial economy remain.
**[20:53] ---**
It is us, the sons of chaos, who are...
**[20:56] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:57] ---**
I told you to stop talking nonsense!
**[21:01] ---**
People don't need to
fight in order to live.
**[21:04] ---**
But because of people like you,
the fighting never stops!
**[21:07] ---**
Look who's talking!
**[21:09] ---**
You shot at me first!
**[21:11] ---**
Stop twisting things around!
**[21:12] ---**
It's because you were
kidnapped in the first place,
**[21:14] ---**
that I'm way out here in this mess.
**[21:16] ---**
Hurry up and go back to where Wendy is!
**[21:18] ---**
For a great cause's sake,
there are times one must act with resolve.
**[21:22] ---**
You're the one who abducted my sister!
**[21:25] ---**
She came on her own!
**[21:27] ---**
Besides, it's time you stop
indulging her by treating her like a child!
**[21:32] ---**
The big brother who can't
let go of his little sister!
**[21:36] ---**
What's wrong with
wanting to protect someone?
**[21:38] ---**
You have no idea what I went
through after our parents died!
**[21:42] ---**
I don't give a damn about that!
It's because...
**[21:46] ---**
Mr. Garret! Mr. Garret!
**[21:48] ---**
The re-entry line is approaching!
You need to prepare!
**[21:50] ---**
Damn it! There's not
enough time to transform!
**[21:54] ---**
Hang in there!
**[21:56] ---**
Just until I've re-entered!
**[21:58] ---**
This is where we say goodbye,
missing member!
**[22:03] ---**
What's happening?
**[22:06] ---**
Dann of Thursday appears to have
been swallowed up by the fluid.
**[22:09] ---**
We've lost the signal for
Saudade but re-entry is confirmed.
**[22:14] ---**
The Prison Planet Destroyer
has been safely defended.
**[22:17] ---**
Now stopping it at the
pre-determined location.
**[23:56] ---**
"End of a Dream"
**[23:57] ---**
*I really do think Ray
and Van are a lot alike.*
**[24:02] ---**
*While they look like complete opposites,*
**[24:05] ---**
*they both have the same
goal and same tragic past.*
**[24:10] ---**
*There might be some other
connection between them.*
**[24:14] ---**
*I don't know what it is,*
**[24:18] ---**
*but sometimes it makes me envious.*
**[24:20] ---**

*That was the day the world was destroyed.*
**[01:43] ---**
*The sky was shrouded in
the fluid of despair,*
**[01:46] ---**
*the earth filled with
cries of helplessness.*
**[01:50] ---**
*But even at such times,*
**[01:52] ---**
*people searched for small dreams to show*
**[01:55] ---**
*they are still worthy of being human.*
**[01:59] ---**
*At the bottom of the universe,
where the fighting never ends,*

"End of a Dream"
**[02:12] ---**
Eldora Block Shoot!
**[02:20] ---**
You pests are really starting to bug me!
**[02:27] ---**
You think such measly attacks
have any affect on my Dahlia?
**[02:32] ---**
In that case, how about this?
**[02:37] ---**
I've never seen such savageness.
**[02:39] ---**
Miss Fasalina, the Birthday
System is set to go.
**[02:42] ---**
Our Comrade wishes to have an
Original 7 member in attendance.
**[02:45] ---**
Saudade hasn't come back yet?
**[02:49] ---**
We're out of communication right now,
**[02:51] ---**
although the re-entry shield was deployed.
**[02:55] ---**
All right. I'll leave it to the 101's
to keep them pinned down here.
**[03:03] ---**
Joshua, where is she?
**[03:06] ---**
Sorry, I'm having a hard
time picking her up on the radar.
**[03:08] ---**
It appears they've
lowered the defense line.
**[03:10] ---**
In that case, let's keep
heading for the destination.
**[03:13] ---**
Right!
**[03:14] ---**
Hey!
**[03:16] ---**
Don't just start moving
without telling anybody.
**[03:21] ---**
Enough already!
**[03:25] ---**
We've lost Engine No.1!
**[03:26] ---**
Can we make it across on No.2?
**[03:28] ---**
I'll give it a shot.
**[03:32] ---**
Old timer!
**[03:33] ---**
Don't worry.
**[03:34] ---**
We should be able to handle these guys.
**[03:37] ---**
We've got an improved battery.
Our energy will hold.
**[03:40] ---**
Leave the rear guard to us. So Ray...
**[03:44] ---**
that means it's up to
you to protect the front.
**[03:47] ---**
Save some fun for us.
**[03:49] ---**
In that case...
**[03:50] ---**
you'd better hurry
up and clear the enemy.
**[03:53] ---**
Hey, kid.
**[03:54] ---**
Who do you think we are?
**[03:56] ---**
But there's more Armor
behind us every second.
**[03:59] ---**
Shoot! We'll have to go back.
**[04:01] ---**
No you won't.
**[04:02] ---**
Not with me here.
**[04:05] ---**
Listen to her.
**[04:07] ---**
Pricilla.
**[04:08] ---**
Yeah?
**[04:09] ---**
Make it through here and we'll
give Van to you as a husband.
**[04:12] ---**
What?!
**[04:13] ---**
You'd be a perfect wife for him.
**[04:16] ---**
But it's not up to you.
**[04:19] ---**
We've already decided. It's no problem.
**[04:22] ---**
We'll hold a righteous wedding for you two.
**[04:24] ---**
So don't die, all right?
**[04:29] ---**
All right.
**[04:30] ---**
But I'd really like to start off
by first going on a date.
**[04:35] ---**
A date?
**[04:36] ---**
In that case, we know a great place.
**[04:37] ---**
It's in our hometown.
**[04:39] ---**
We'll tell you where it is
after we finish all of this.
**[04:42] ---**
Thanks.
**[04:44] ---**
Let's go!
**[04:45] ---**
Right!
**[04:50] ---**
Eldora Soul!
**[04:52] ---**
Dungun Bombadiro!
**[05:02] ---**
I'm surrounded by idiots.
**[05:03] ---**
Big brother, up ahead!
There's another unit!
**[05:06] ---**
Shit. They don't mess around.
**[05:29] ---**
Birthday!
**[05:31] ---**
Just hearing the name gets me excited.
**[05:34] ---**
A new world born from my coffin!
**[05:37] ---**
Body designed to match brain type,
with fluid control capabilities.
**[05:41] ---**
Naturally it's unarmed,
**[05:43] ---**
but the underlying specs are
superior to those of the Original 7.
**[05:45] ---**
You didn't have to go that far.
**[05:48] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[05:50] ---**
It was selfish, but we wanted to go beyond
**[05:52] ---**
the mother planet's technology.
**[05:54] ---**
I appreciate your desire for a challenge.
**[05:57] ---**
Fasalina.
**[05:58] ---**
Yes.
**[05:59] ---**
I'm sorry for calling you back.
**[06:02] ---**
But I absolutely wanted you to
see this on behalf of the Original 7.
**[06:08] ---**
I'm honored.
**[06:09] ---**
Comrade.
**[06:10] ---**
Yes?
**[06:11] ---**
The "Blessing Bell" is ready.
**[06:12] ---**
Yes, Fasalina's here now,
so please go ahead as planned.
**[06:17] ---**
Very well, then.
**[06:20] ---**
First party, open.
**[06:23] ---**
Starting "Birthday Celebration."
**[06:27] ---**
Happy Birthday.
**[06:29] ---**
Congratulations!
**[06:31] ---**
Congratulations...!
Congratulations...!
**[06:39] ---**
Second party, open.
**[06:41] ---**
Circumterrestrial space,
start reconstruction program.
**[06:44] ---**
Terraforming base, commence ascent.
**[06:49] ---**
Don't tell me we're having
an earthquake now?
**[06:51] ---**
It could be a secret enemy weapon.
**[06:53] ---**
We can't worry about that now.
**[07:29] ---**
It's now or never.
**[07:34] ---**
What's that?
**[07:35] ---**
What?
**[07:46] ---**
Verify coordinate axis.
**[07:47] ---**
Rising, entering stable region.
**[07:49] ---**
Phase changeover at designated altitude.
**[07:51] ---**
Rotational axis reconfirmed.
**[07:53] ---**
Commencing Auto Balancer operation.
**[07:55] ---**
Refined net deployment complete.
**[07:57] ---**
Consigning attitude support to pilot mode.
**[08:00] ---**
Secure E-line.
**[08:01] ---**
Prison Planet Destroyer
intervention complete.
**[08:04] ---**
Moving on to partial system modification
**[08:06] ---**
in accordance with main plan.
**[08:18] ---**
Secure terraforming base to fixed location.
**[08:20] ---**
Roger.
**[08:21] ---**
Secured to fixed location.
**[08:23] ---**
Proceed to third party after
confirming system renewal.
**[08:26] ---**
Comrade.
**[08:27] ---**
Yes, I know.
**[08:30] ---**
We can't just leave it as
a weapon of mass murder.
**[08:37] ---**
Joshua, the location of the light
beam and the place we're going?
**[08:40] ---**
Yes, they're the same.
**[08:42] ---**
Then he must be there too.
**[08:46] ---**
I apologize for earlier. Shall we continue?
**[08:51] ---**
She doesn't know when to stop.
**[08:52] ---**
Stopping!
**[08:59] ---**
She's right on the axis! Go!
**[09:01] ---**
All right!
**[09:05] ---**
It doesn't do any good unless you hit me.
**[09:07] ---**
That's what you think.
**[09:18] ---**
Too bad you couldn't finish me off.
**[09:21] ---**
It takes a long time to load
that launcher, doesn't it?
**[09:24] ---**
Oh, you really know your stuff.
**[09:26] ---**
Yes. The outcome is already decided.
**[09:30] ---**
Big brother, I'll come reload it!
**[09:31] ---**
That's all right.
**[09:33] ---**
You all go back.
**[09:34] ---**
But your eyes!
**[09:36] ---**
Go back!
**[09:45] ---**
You fight with a private grudge.
**[09:48] ---**
We fight to protect our Comrade's dream.
**[09:52] ---**
Life is stronger when
it's protecting something.
**[09:58] ---**
Spoken like a knight in shining armor.
**[10:01] ---**
In that case, there's
something I want to ask you.
**[10:04] ---**
I had a dream too.
**[10:06] ---**
To live a quiet, peaceful
life together with a woman.
**[10:11] ---**
It was a modest dream.
**[10:13] ---**
And he tore it to pieces simply
because we wouldn't cooperate.
**[10:20] ---**
He wants to share his dream
with as many people as possible.
**[10:23] ---**
And that means we can't have other dreams?!
**[10:27] ---**
What do you think happens?
**[10:29] ---**
What do you think happens to someone
**[10:31] ---**
after their dream's
been taken away from them?
**[10:39] ---**
This will end it.
**[10:43] ---**
Please, let me go ahead on my own.
**[10:47] ---**
But...
**[10:48] ---**
You said to stop if there was danger.
I don't want to drag you all into...
**[10:51] ---**
Joshua!
**[10:52] ---**
You plan to die together with him?
**[10:56] ---**
No. I'm going because
I want to live with my brother.
**[11:00] ---**
Because I want to see for
myself if his choice was correct.
**[11:04] ---**
And because I want him to
choose the right path in the future.
**[11:08] ---**
That's why I want to help my brother!
**[11:12] ---**
All right, then.
**[11:13] ---**
OK, let's break up into two parties.
We'll try to find another route.
**[11:17] ---**
You'll draw the enemy's attention.
**[11:20] ---**
Right!
**[11:21] ---**
Joshua, promise one thing.
**[11:24] ---**
That no matter what,
you won't waste your life.
**[11:27] ---**
And if it gets dangerous,
you and Ray will get out of there.
**[11:32] ---**
Yes!
**[11:46] ---**
Nero? Pricilla? Can you hear me?
**[11:51] ---**
Guess we'll have to take
a detour on our own.
**[11:54] ---**
Damn it, Van! What the hell are you doing?!
**[12:01] ---**
I don't understand.
**[12:03] ---**
How can an ordinary Armor Rider
like you, in that Armor of yours
**[12:07] ---**
fight fairly with an Original 7 member?
**[12:09] ---**
Oh, you didn't know?
**[12:12] ---**
Volcain was the basis for the technology
**[12:17] ---**
and foundation for the optical
weapon you all are using.
**[12:46] ---**
But you still can't defeat me. Not yet!
**[12:50] ---**
Now I'm going to crush your cockpit.
**[12:54] ---**
Big brother!
**[12:57] ---**
I told him to go back.
What's he doing, the idiot!
**[13:07] ---**
The cannon's...
**[13:16] ---**
You can't go. You can't...
**[13:25] ---**
We'll be there in about 30 minutes.
**[13:28] ---**
You can't use the cannon,
**[13:29] ---**
so please make the left arm
execution shells your primary weapon.
**[13:32] ---**
If we run into any other
forces, I can use the...
**[13:34] ---**
Joshua.
**[13:35] ---**
Yeah?
**[13:36] ---**
There's something I wanted to ask you.
**[13:39] ---**
Did you like Shino?
**[13:45] ---**
Of course I did.
**[13:47] ---**
How couldn't I? She was
so charming and beautiful...
**[13:55] ---**
Yes, I liked her.
**[13:58] ---**
You did?
**[13:59] ---**
Yes. That's why I envied you.
**[14:04] ---**
You had her and her Armor.
**[14:08] ---**
But I couldn't become like you.
Even after she died I couldn't.
**[14:16] ---**
I was incredibly sad,
but I couldn't do the things you did.
**[14:21] ---**
I'm a coward.
**[14:23] ---**
That's not true.
**[14:24] ---**
But...
**[14:27] ---**
I was running away from sadness.
**[14:32] ---**
I'm still running away now.
**[14:35] ---**
I have to, otherwise the loss
of Shino would be unbearable.
**[14:40] ---**
I'm the coward.
**[14:45] ---**
But that's over now too.
**[14:49] ---**
After I settle things with him,
I'll go back to who I was before.
**[14:53] ---**
And I'll deal with Shino's death again.
**[14:59] ---**
Big brother...
**[15:00] ---**
Find your own dream.
**[15:04] ---**
Do what you want, and don't
let anyone stand in your way.
**[15:08] ---**
My dream is to be with you from now on...
**[15:23] ---**
Third party, open.
**[15:24] ---**
Open!
**[15:28] ---**
Entrance gear tuning, complete.
Start all systems normally.
**[15:34] ---**
Run safety balancer.
Confirm absorber start up.
**[15:40] ---**
Release SD lock. Switch pilot
system over to SD main body.
**[15:45] ---**
Set to stand alone.
**[15:46] ---**
Party open. Raise the curtain.
**[15:49] ---**
Raise the curtain.
**[16:26] ---**
Oh, please, my body,
don't give out on me yet.
**[16:31] ---**
Comrade! The defense line!
**[16:34] ---**
The intruder that broke through
Fasalina's foolproof defense line
**[16:37] ---**
is heading right towards you!
**[16:40] ---**
Comrade, please evacuate!
**[16:47] ---**
I knew there'd be an obstacle.
**[16:50] ---**
But my dream won't let me die.
**[16:53] ---**
Right this way! You are the
brilliant light of the new world!
**[16:58] ---**
Headquarters, this is Saudade!
**[17:00] ---**
I've just now returned.
**[17:02] ---**
I will eliminate the intruder immediately.
**[17:06] ---**
I want the entire staff to
focus on supporting our Comrade.
**[17:11] ---**
Michael...
**[17:18] ---**
Everyone, don't stop!
**[17:22] ---**
Forgive me, Volcain.
**[17:38] ---**
What's this?
**[17:42] ---**
Carmen!
**[17:43] ---**
I know. I know.
**[17:44] ---**
I can see!
**[18:00] ---**
What about Saudade?
What happened to Saudade?
**[18:02] ---**
There's no reply. We're presently checking.
**[18:04] ---**
Comrade, there's been an emergency!
Please come back.
**[18:08] ---**
We need to temporarily call off the plan.
**[18:10] ---**
We have the Prison Planet
Destroyer controls here.
**[18:13] ---**
We'll try again later,
after we've dealt with all this.
**[18:15] ---**
No, I don't want to do that.
Not after we've come this far.
**[18:18] ---**
Besides, it doesn't look
like he'll let me go back.
**[18:32] ---**
Life is death. Death is eternal.
**[18:35] ---**
That is the chain which
extends across all living things.
**[18:38] ---**
Come now, you sinners and born fools
**[18:44] ---**
give your blessings and take heed
for today is the end of the world.
**[18:49] ---**
Take all the sins you've accumulated
and hold them above your heads.
**[18:54] ---**
And let us wait for the
arrival of a new dream
**[18:57] ---**
soon to descend from the sky.
**[19:00] ---**
Comrade! Please get away from there!
**[19:02] ---**
What's the Security Force doing?
**[19:04] ---**
We've sent the team from the power room.
**[19:05] ---**
They'll be there in five minutes.
**[19:06] ---**
That's too late!
**[19:09] ---**
We sinners...
**[19:11] ---**
We fools...
**[19:13] ---**
Suckling infants of a new world...
**[19:16] ---**
Those upon whom this day
of death is to be conferred.
**[19:33] ---**
No, I'll also kill our
Comrade if I use Saudade.
**[19:40] ---**
I'm afraid this is where it ends.
**[19:43] ---**
I can't afford to spend
any more time with you.
**[19:46] ---**
A long time dream is about to blossom.
**[19:51] ---**
Do you know...?
**[19:53] ---**
Do you know what happens to a man...
**[19:55] ---**
who's been deprived of his dream?
**[19:58] ---**
His heart and body are
tormented by uncontrollable pain,
**[20:05] ---**
anger and grief which
he can never get over.
**[20:10] ---**
Can you imagine that kind of suffering?
**[20:12] ---**
Choose! Your life or your dream?!
**[20:16] ---**
What?
**[20:24] ---**
Too bad.
**[20:26] ---**
No, that'll do just fine.
**[20:56] ---**
The system's been damaged!
**[20:57] ---**
That's why we should
have lowered the barrier!
**[20:59] ---**
We can't hide the symbol
of the new world's birth!
**[21:02] ---**
But the whole thing's pointless if we stop!
**[21:04] ---**
Comrade!
**[21:07] ---**
Your dream is over.
**[21:22] ---**
I did it!
**[21:30] ---**
Thank you... Josh...
**[21:34] ---**
Big brother, I'm coming to help!
**[21:36] ---**
I'll be there in just a sec.
**[21:37] ---**
So answer me! Big brother!
**[21:56] ---**
Are you awake, Ray?
**[21:59] ---**
Yeah, I had a dream.
**[22:03] ---**
What kind of dream?
**[22:05] ---**
It was a sad dream.
**[22:15] ---**
But it's over now.
**[22:22] ---**
I'm sorry I left you all alone.
**[22:28] ---**
Welcome home, Ray.
**[23:56] ---**
"Fool Comes by Armor"
**[23:57] ---**
*That was the day everyone in
the world looked up at the sky.*
**[24:01] ---**
*I guess people had all sorts of feelings...*
**[24:04] ---**
*...some were worried, some just
surprised, some keeping an eye out...*
**[24:07] ---**
*...to see what would happen.*
**[24:10] ---**
*What about me?*
**[24:12] ---**
*I waited patiently while
remembering all the things*
**[24:16] ---**
*that had happened up until then.*
**[24:18] ---**
*The thing I was waiting for was...*

**[01:37] ---**
*The planet "Endless Illusion."*
**[01:40] ---**
*On this bottom rung of the universe,
where the fighting never ends,*
**[01:43] ---**
*a kind and decent man died.*
**[01:47] ---**
*Though he'd been consumed
by the flames of revenge,*
**[01:50] ---**
*in the end, he died
peacefully with a smile.*
**[01:56] ---**
*What did he leave behind in this world?*
**[01:59] ---**
*That we still don't know.*
**[02:03] ---**
"Fool Comes by Armor"
**[02:11] ---**
Comrade, I am
completely ashamed of myself
**[02:13] ---**
for allowing my inexperience
to put you in harm's way.
**[02:16] ---**
What? There's no need to apologize.
**[02:22] ---**
So, who's that?
**[02:24] ---**
He was captured in area 12.
**[02:27] ---**
He's that guy's younger brother.
He's part of Van's gang.
**[02:33] ---**
Speaking of which, whatever
happened to our friend, Van?
**[02:37] ---**
We got separated during the fight,
so I'm not sure.
**[02:41] ---**
He probably either
burned up in the atmosphere
**[02:44] ---**
or crashed somewhere unknown.
**[02:49] ---**
Really?
**[02:51] ---**
You're probably right.
**[02:53] ---**
Comrade! We've found the damage.
**[02:57] ---**
It'll take some time, but we can repair it.
**[03:01] ---**
Comrade!
**[03:02] ---**
That's wonderful!
**[03:04] ---**
Please get started on it immediately.
**[03:06] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:08] ---**
We'll use the protective
shield as well, if that's all right.
**[03:10] ---**
Of course. Oh, it's just like you all said.
**[03:14] ---**
You never know what's
going to happen, do you?
**[03:18] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:20] ---**
This is all because I insisted
on having things done my way.
**[03:23] ---**
Thank goodness, indeed.
**[03:29] ---**
How shall we dispose of him?
**[03:33] ---**
He'll be our friend soon,
**[03:36] ---**
so let's find him an empty
room and have him wait.
**[03:39] ---**
Go ahead.
**[03:40] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:41] ---**
Saudade only suffered minor damage,
so I'll guard the perimeter.
**[03:46] ---**
I won't let anything happen.
**[03:49] ---**
Take the saboteur's
younger brother into custody.
**[03:51] ---**
After you've locked him up on floor B3
**[03:53] ---**
carry on with the plan.
**[03:55] ---**
I repeat, carry on with the plan.
**[03:57] ---**
This is bad.
**[03:59] ---**
We have to help Joshua!
**[04:01] ---**
Calm down.
**[04:02] ---**
If we're not careful,
we'll get ourselves killed as well.
**[04:05] ---**
But Joshua's...
**[04:15] ---**
System setup retry.
Phase 1082 now complete.
**[04:18] ---**
Clearing of peripheral
danger zone, 85% complete.
**[04:25] ---**
Michael.
**[04:26] ---**
Fasalina.
**[04:28] ---**
Are you all right?
**[04:29] ---**
I'll make it somehow,
although Dahlia's been destroyed.
**[04:34] ---**
I'm sorry. I wish I could come get you.
**[04:37] ---**
That's all right. It's my
own fault they got me.
**[04:42] ---**
Don't worry. We're moving
forward with the plan.
**[04:45] ---**
There's been a slight delay,
but there's nothing standing in the way.
**[04:48] ---**
I'd like to send the 101's over,
**[04:50] ---**
but they're not responding
to the return signal.
**[04:53] ---**
I wonder if it's because
someone's interfered with the system.
**[04:56] ---**
Saudade's plenty
capable of guarding the base.
**[04:58] ---**
I'll protect our Comrade for us both.
**[05:03] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:05] ---**
I'll head back using the underground route.
**[05:08] ---**
I'll see you in the new world.
**[05:13] ---**
Right.
**[05:15] ---**
Comrade, we have an estimate
on how long the repairs will take.
**[05:19] ---**
We can have things up and
running again in 47 minutes.
**[05:23] ---**
Excellent. Then I'll
leave you to your work.
**[05:25] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[05:27] ---**
The last 47 minutes are
going to be the longest.
**[05:33] ---**
Notifying all sections.
**[05:34] ---**
The system will be up and
running again in 47 minutes.
**[05:37] ---**
All personnel are to help with the repairs.
**[05:40] ---**
Those in departments not directly
related are to provide support.
**[05:43] ---**
I repeat.
**[05:44] ---**
The system will be up and
running again in 47 minutes.
**[05:47] ---**
All personnel are to help with the repairs.
**[05:50] ---**
The plan remains unchanged.
**[06:08] ---**
Sorry, but we need to get by.
**[06:13] ---**
I'll search for the
underground power system.
**[06:15] ---**
Yukiko, I want you to find Joshua.
**[06:18] ---**
Right.
**[06:19] ---**
Carmen, what about me?
**[06:21] ---**
You wait here on standby with Tanda.
**[06:24] ---**
I want you to pull up in front
of entrance No.16 in 45 minutes.
**[06:28] ---**
There are lots of entrances
to the base, so be careful.
**[06:31] ---**
You remember how to
operate Tanda, don't you?
**[06:33] ---**
I'll go too!
**[06:35] ---**
No. You do as you're supposed to.
**[06:38] ---**
But...
**[06:40] ---**
This is a team effort. I'm not
giving you any special treatment.
**[06:44] ---**
I'm just trying to find a way
we can all come out of this alive.
**[06:49] ---**
Let's put an end to this nonsense
so we can hurry up and go home.
**[07:15] ---**
No change in plans?!
**[07:17] ---**
That would mean my
brother died for nothing!
**[07:20] ---**
He risked his life in order
to buy us this time.
**[07:24] ---**
If it weren't for him,
the world would already be over!
**[07:28] ---**
My brother didn't die for nothing.
I won't let his life go to waste!
**[07:40] ---**
Comrade, we finished repairing the system
**[07:43] ---**
11 minutes ahead of schedule.
**[07:48] ---**
You all are wonderful.
**[07:51] ---**
Notifying staff members in all sections.
**[07:53] ---**
As of now, the system has been restored.
**[07:57] ---**
The plan's start time has been changed.
**[07:59] ---**
We'll be resuming Celebration in
5 minutes, starting from phase 4.
**[08:03] ---**
I repeat, the system has been restored.
**[08:07] ---**
Celebration will be carried out in
5 minutes, starting from phase 4.
**[08:12] ---**
Who said you could move things earlier?
**[08:18] ---**
We've got a schedule too, you know!
**[08:28] ---**
What is this place?
**[08:36] ---**
We've got to hurry.
**[08:37] ---**
Who's that?
**[08:39] ---**
Lay down your weapon and raise your hands!
**[08:46] ---**
You're one of the saboteurs.
Where are the others?
**[08:51] ---**
Joshua!
**[08:53] ---**
Are you all right, Yukiko?
**[08:55] ---**
Good thing I was here.
That was a close call.
**[09:05] ---**
I hate those flowers.
**[09:07] ---**
Please, no roughhousing, all right?
**[09:10] ---**
They're a catalyst for inducing
particle memory components.
**[09:13] ---**
We're implanting our Comrade's will
into the mind of everyone on the planet.
**[09:18] ---**
This is where it all begins.
They're pretty, aren't they?
**[09:22] ---**
Not to me, they aren't.
**[09:24] ---**
These stinking, rotten flowers
ruined my hometown.
**[09:27] ---**
Was that town ever such
a nice place to begin with?
**[09:33] ---**
You abandoned your
hometown yourself, didn't you?
**[09:38] ---**
I don't have a hometown.
**[09:40] ---**
I've been on my own since
the day I was born.
**[09:43] ---**
That's the only life I've ever known,
so I don't even feel lonely.
**[09:48] ---**
Your hometown sentiments
mean nothing to me.
**[09:53] ---**
I'm the one who should hate you.
**[09:58] ---**
Really? You came for me?
**[10:01] ---**
Let's hurry up and get out of here.
Wendy's waiting outside.
**[10:05] ---**
Thank you.
**[10:06] ---**
But please go on and don't worry about me.
**[10:09] ---**
What do you mean?
**[10:12] ---**
There's still something I need to do.
**[10:14] ---**
I have to stop the Claw's Armor.
**[10:19] ---**
We're ready to resume operations.
Opening the Ark.
**[10:22] ---**
Comrade?
**[10:23] ---**
All right.
**[10:34] ---**
Farewell.
**[10:39] ---**
Fourth party, open.
**[10:41] ---**
Begin searching for links to Destroyer.
**[11:30] ---**
Now your explosives won't work.
**[11:34] ---**
Mission Room! The connector
link's become unstable.
**[11:36] ---**
What's wrong?
**[11:37] ---**
Fluid came down from the sky.
We're looking into it.
**[11:42] ---**
And after all their talk about
their stupid fluid control system,
**[11:45] ---**
that's tech people for you!
**[11:48] ---**
I wonder if something happened.
**[11:49] ---**
It must be him... he's back!
**[12:09] ---**
Van.
**[12:25] ---**
You know who I am?
**[12:27] ---**
Of course.
**[12:29] ---**
Van.
**[12:31] ---**
Yeah. People call me...
**[12:35] ---**
Comrade, leave him to me!
**[12:38] ---**
It's you...
**[12:39] ---**
the idiot brother!
What are you doing still alive?
**[12:43] ---**
Who said you could call me brother!
**[12:48] ---**
All right, then I'll
just call you an idiot!
**[12:50] ---**
Idiot!
**[12:52] ---**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[12:54] ---**
Don't get in the way of
our Comrade's dream!
**[12:56] ---**
You're the one who can't
remember that I'm going to kill him!
**[13:00] ---**
Our Comrade's about to die!
**[13:02] ---**
But there's no way I'm
letting you kill him!
**[13:04] ---**
Now, listen, I'm tired
after returning from space!
**[13:07] ---**
I can't be bothering with you right now!
**[13:10] ---**
This is my mission!
**[13:11] ---**
You're going down!
**[13:15] ---**
Get your paws off me!
It gives me the creeps!
**[13:20] ---**
You bitch!
**[13:26] ---**
We are proceeding as planned.
**[13:27] ---**
Everyone is to remain at their
post and wait for instructions.
**[13:30] ---**
Saudade is currently returning fire
with the Missing Member's Armor.
**[13:33] ---**
Our Comrade is fine.
**[13:34] ---**
I repeat, our Comrade is fine.
**[13:37] ---**
Looks like you've got company!
**[13:40] ---**
It's not a problem.
**[13:41] ---**
Michael and the others will
take care of him somehow.
**[13:44] ---**
Notifying all teams. The schedule
is being pushed back slightly
**[13:48] ---**
so that we can re-adjust the connectors.
**[13:51] ---**
Have 101's guard the perimeter!
Have 101's guard the perimeter!
**[13:56] ---**
Something's strange.
**[13:58] ---**
Did that son of a gun make it back?
**[14:01] ---**
Our righteous spirits must
have rubbed off on him.
**[14:04] ---**
We don't have any more energy either.
**[14:07] ---**
Now we can rest in peace.
**[14:10] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:13] ---**
Those aren't the words of men of valor.
**[14:16] ---**
Carlos?!
**[14:18] ---**
The world still hasn't been saved.
**[14:21] ---**
Which means there's only
one thing for us to do.
**[14:23] ---**
But we're out of energy.
**[14:28] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[14:31] ---**
Bucci added an emergency
restoring system, didn't he?
**[14:35] ---**
That's why I told you to read the manual.
**[14:39] ---**
Come on, how about it?
**[14:41] ---**
As long as we're alive,
we can still do something!
**[14:48] ---**
Van.
**[14:51] ---**
You ungrateful bastard.
After everything Gadved did for you...
**[14:54] ---**
Up yours! You're the one who
abandoned your own sister.
**[14:59] ---**
I'm doing my job and I won't
let anyone get in my way.
**[15:03] ---**
Me too.
**[15:04] ---**
Back off, idiot!
**[15:09] ---**
Die by your own sword!
**[15:12] ---**
That's mine!
**[15:14] ---**
Give it back!
**[15:19] ---**
Thanks for cutting off my outer shell.
I feel much lighter now!
**[15:25] ---**
Bastard!
**[15:37] ---**
No way!
**[15:40] ---**
He's not supposed to be
able to do that sort of thing!
**[15:48] ---**
Chesto!
**[15:58] ---**
How could an old type do...?
**[16:06] ---**
Comrade! Saudade's not responding.
**[16:09] ---**
Oh, really?
**[16:10] ---**
Birthday is fully operational,
so there's no problem...
**[16:14] ---**
but in order to protect
the links with the system
**[16:16] ---**
we're going to deploy the Guardian Curtain.
**[16:19] ---**
Of course. Do as you see fit.
**[16:26] ---**
It's been 60 years since we began
our just and righteous cause.
**[16:32] ---**
It's time to find out
whether we are truly brave.
**[16:37] ---**
Our weapons are...
**[16:40] ---**
bravery, justice, and fighting spirit!
**[16:43] ---**
The best is...
**[16:45] ---**
yet to come!
**[16:47] ---**
Eldora Fight... Go!
**[16:50] ---**
Amigo!
**[16:53] ---**
*Mama, I've found someone I like.*
**[16:58] ---**
*I want to do my best to protect him
along with Johanna and the others.*
**[17:02] ---**
*Now I know why you were strong, mama.*
**[17:06] ---**
*It's because you were trying to protect us.*
**[17:08] ---**
*And because you absolutely never gave up.*
**[17:14] ---**
I still can't measure up to you.
But will you look out for me?
**[17:26] ---**
Eldora Soul is back!
**[17:31] ---**
Amusement parks are
a good place for a date,
**[17:33] ---**
or maybe the beach!
**[17:37] ---**
Van, wait! What are you doing flying off?
**[17:40] ---**
Now that you're back I want
an answer to my question!
**[17:44] ---**
You mustn't get all
flustered like that, little lady.
**[17:48] ---**
We should come smashing through the front!
**[17:50] ---**
That's the manly way to do it!
**[17:52] ---**
But I'm a girl.
**[17:54] ---**
Don't let a detail like that stop you!
**[17:56] ---**
I won't!
**[18:01] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[18:02] ---**
What? He made it over the barrier!
**[18:05] ---**
Comrade, there's no problem with Birthday.
**[18:07] ---**
Shall we continue with the plan?
**[18:09] ---**
Come on, let's pick up where we left off!
**[18:12] ---**
Yes, let's continue.
**[18:15] ---**
I'm searching for the main line
and then I'm going to cut it off.
**[18:18] ---**
That way, even if his Armor survives,
it'll be the end of the Claw's plan.
**[18:24] ---**
After that, all we need to do
is avenge Ray's death, right?
**[18:30] ---**
I don't think that's what my
brother would have wanted.
**[18:35] ---**
He called me "Josh" right before he died.
**[18:39] ---**
That's what he used to call me.
**[18:41] ---**
I think he was content in the end.
**[18:46] ---**
I don't want to dishonor his death.
**[18:50] ---**
That's why, as his younger brother,
I'm doing what I can do.
**[18:54] ---**
Which is this.
**[18:57] ---**
I want to protect the world.
The world my brother saved.
**[19:04] ---**
Please, go. I'll be fine here on my own.
**[19:08] ---**
If I don't make it back, tell Wendy
**[19:11] ---**
I say thanks for everything and to
please forget about me, will you?
**[19:19] ---**
You think she can forget,
just because you tell her to?
**[19:24] ---**
No one can erase what's in one's heart.
**[19:28] ---**
And if it's what's in your own heart
that enables you to do all this...
**[19:32] ---**
then I'll protect you.
**[19:39] ---**
Let me ask you something before I kill you.
**[19:41] ---**
What happened to Ray?
**[19:43] ---**
I have to hand it to him.
**[19:45] ---**
If it wasn't for him, the world would
have been transformed a long time ago.
**[19:49] ---**
Really? Unfortunate for you.
**[19:54] ---**
I'm not as good a person as he.
**[19:57] ---**
I'm gonna chop you into pieces!
**[20:00] ---**
Chesto!
**[20:02] ---**
Start fluid control.
**[20:08] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[20:13] ---**
You're a strange person.
**[20:16] ---**
Am I?
**[20:17] ---**
What do you want to do with me?
**[20:21] ---**
Why do you hate me so much?
**[20:26] ---**
You know damn well why.
Because of Hayetah.
**[20:31] ---**
And because...
**[20:32] ---**
you're adorable, aren't you?
**[20:35] ---**
You go after what you want,
regardless of how it looks.
**[20:39] ---**
You can tell the man you
love that you love him.
**[20:42] ---**
You're cruel but honest with yourself.
**[20:44] ---**
I hate to admit it, but you're adorable.
**[20:48] ---**
What are you telling me this for?
**[20:50] ---**
Don't let it go to your head.
**[20:52] ---**
Not everyone can be as adorable as you.
**[20:56] ---**
Stop, that's enough. You're just jealous.
**[21:00] ---**
That's right. I wanted
to be as honest as you.
**[21:04] ---**
Then why aren't you?
**[21:07] ---**
No chance!
**[21:10] ---**
You're selfish.
**[21:18] ---**
What's the matter?
**[21:27] ---**
You're impatient, aren't you?
**[21:31] ---**
I'm going to kill you.
**[21:33] ---**
Won't you talk to me?
**[21:36] ---**
I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to kill you!
**[21:37] ---**
I'm going to kill you...!
**[21:39] ---**
Not now. But you can use my life
for something even more wonderful.
**[21:47] ---**
You're truly magnificent...
**[21:50] ---**
the way you go after your
dream with such conviction.
**[21:53] ---**
That's why I want to give you a present.
**[21:55] ---**
I'm going to bring your
fiancée back to life.
**[22:06] ---**
A saboteur?
**[22:07] ---**
You think you can stop me just
because I don't have any Armor?
**[22:13] ---**
Wendy...
**[22:16] ---**
Big brother, stop.
**[22:20] ---**
Get out of the way.
**[22:21] ---**
No.
**[22:22] ---**
I don't have time for you right now.
There's something I have to do.
**[22:33] ---**
Me too.

we left the island to walk a new path.*
**[24:04] ---**
*While the trip seemed both long and short,*
**[24:07] ---**
*looking
back I think I enjoyed every day of it.*
**[24:11] ---**
*That's
probably because he was there with me.*
**[24:15] ---**
*Even now I consider him
the greatest hero in the world.*

"Tuxedo Blowing in Tomorrow"
**[01:03] ---**
The Prison Planet Destroyer System
left behind by the mother planet.
**[01:07] ---**
I am going to use its energy to compress
**[01:10] ---**
the neighboring time sequence
and rewrite our history.
**[01:13] ---**
In other words...
**[01:14] ---**
the dead will come back to life.
**[01:18] ---**
I will die and your bride
will come back to life.
**[01:22] ---**
The world will be at peace.
**[01:24] ---**
Everything will work out wonderfully
for both you and the planet.
**[01:32] ---**
Yes, I want to save you.
**[01:35] ---**
I want to be your friend...
**[01:38] ---**
be your friend before I die.
**[01:41] ---**
Dear me...
**[01:42] ---**
Elena's dead. You killed her!
**[01:45] ---**
You want to take her death from me as well?
**[01:48] ---**
Dead people don't ever come back to life!
**[01:52] ---**
I didn't come here to
listen to this garbage.
**[01:55] ---**
I came here to kill you!
**[01:58] ---**
Taking down the Birthday System
with his Original Series Armor?
**[02:04] ---**
Van, are you listening to me?
**[02:07] ---**
You listen to me!
**[02:09] ---**
This is for Elena!
**[02:14] ---**
Bastard! He hit me from the sky.
**[02:15] ---**
Yes, now I get it. You are, in a word...
**[02:20] ---**
an idiot!
**[02:24] ---**
Van!
**[02:27] ---**
Pricilla!
**[02:29] ---**
Carlos! Do something about that barrier!
**[02:31] ---**
I'm working on it!
**[02:32] ---**
Die you bastard!
**[02:35] ---**
Oh, I see. So, this is an idiot.
**[02:39] ---**
Yes, an idiot. An idiot.
**[02:42] ---**
A lovely idiot.
**[02:50] ---**
Step aside, Wendy.
**[02:55] ---**
Why are you making things difficult?
**[02:56] ---**
Because you're wrong.
**[02:59] ---**
How could I be wrong?
**[03:01] ---**
Our Comrade's dream world will be
the happy place everyone wanted.
**[03:04] ---**
Nobody wants that sort of thing!
**[03:07] ---**
We're not supposed to
be happy all the time.
**[03:10] ---**
If we were, there wouldn't be meaning.
**[03:12] ---**
And forcing happiness
on someone else is wrong.
**[03:16] ---**
That's not happiness.
**[03:18] ---**
It's simply mind control.
**[03:22] ---**
Shut up.
**[03:24] ---**
Michael, stop!
**[03:25] ---**
Nothing can stop me.
**[03:35] ---**
Don't go.
**[03:40] ---**
Wendy...
**[03:44] ---**
Don't go!
**[03:45] ---**
You're not stopping me. Let go.
**[03:47] ---**
-No.
-Let go!
**[03:54] ---**
Big brother.
**[03:56] ---**
Wendy.
**[03:57] ---**
We all love this world.
**[03:59] ---**
There's a lot of hardship,
but that's why we love it!
**[04:02] ---**
You can't see the big picture, so shut up!
**[04:04] ---**
What do you know about the world?
**[04:06] ---**
I've seen it with my own eyes!
Gone and checked it out for myself.
**[04:09] ---**
I should be the one asking you.
What do you know about, besides him?
**[04:13] ---**
There's nothing besides my Comrade!
**[04:15] ---**
Why do you follow him so blindly?
**[04:19] ---**
Yes, I know.
**[04:20] ---**
He uses words like
"world" and "dream" to deceive.
**[04:23] ---**
He doesn't care about real,
honest to goodness, people.
**[04:26] ---**
You just want to believe someone
**[04:30] ---**
who's imposing their own ideas on you.
**[04:31] ---**
That imposter!
**[04:34] ---**
Denying my Comrade is the
same thing as denying me!
**[04:38] ---**
That alone is unforgivable.
**[05:04] ---**
Van, you're so pure.
**[05:07] ---**
Let go of me, you bastard!
**[05:11] ---**
You think just losing my
left arm is going to stop me!
**[05:13] ---**
Acting without a thought
about your chances of winning.
**[05:16] ---**
You need to be like that...
**[05:20] ---**
in order to dream.
**[05:24] ---**
Bastard!
**[05:27] ---**
I always looked up to my brother.
I was always chasing after him.
**[05:32] ---**
But what do I chase after this?
**[05:36] ---**
You don't have to chase
after anything, do you?
**[05:39] ---**
The truth is that...
**[05:41] ---**
I think your brother
wanted to live a quiet life.
**[05:44] ---**
Even ordinary lives can have meaning.
**[05:48] ---**
In fact...
**[05:49] ---**
I think they're even more meaningful.
**[05:52] ---**
Don't try to be what you're not.
I think you'll find your own way.
**[05:58] ---**
Not now!
**[06:04] ---**
Looks like we can't be friends after all.
**[06:08] ---**
Oh, that's too bad.
**[06:17] ---**
Comrade, everything's all lined up.
We're ready to go.
**[06:20] ---**
It's time to give birth to a new world!
**[06:21] ---**
Excellent.
**[06:24] ---**
Van, I'm so glad I was able
to meet you in the end.
**[06:28] ---**
I didn't know idiots
could be so interesting.
**[06:32] ---**
In just a moment, you and I will be one.
**[06:36] ---**
Afterwards, let's have a conversation,
as our souls commune with each other.
**[06:41] ---**
Beginning countdown to Birthday launch.
**[06:44] ---**
60, 59, 58...
**[06:48] ---**
Shit, something's started.
**[06:50] ---**
What?! I'm going to make
it over the barrier!
**[07:00] ---**
It's begun.
**[07:02] ---**
We win.
**[07:06] ---**
Don't tell me Van's...
**[07:08] ---**
Found 'em! They're in
the Sub-Control Room!
**[07:10] ---**
Joshua!
**[07:12] ---**
I'm looking for it,
but I can't find the main cable!
**[07:16] ---**
Artillery Bombadero!
**[07:19] ---**
What the hell is this thing made of?
**[07:21] ---**
Hey, Van!
**[07:22] ---**
This is no time for a nap! Get up!
**[07:23] ---**
You're the only one left!
If you don't kill him it's all over!
**[07:28] ---**
Wake up, Van!
**[07:30] ---**
Van!
**[07:35] ---**
*Yeah, I can hear you. I know.*
**[07:41] ---**
*What's going on?*
**[07:43] ---**
*Hey, this isn't good.*
**[07:45] ---**
*I'm in trouble, aren't I?*
**[07:49] ---**
*Now I get it. Shit...*
**[07:54] ---**
*I wonder if she remembers what I told her.*
**[07:57] ---**
*Becoming a wife is a happy thing.*
**[08:01] ---**
*It should be
the happiest moment in your life.*
**[08:07] ---**
Elena!
**[08:19] ---**
Yeah, that's it!
**[08:21] ---**
Now, that's our disciple!
**[08:26] ---**
What's going on?
**[08:27] ---**
Overflow...
**[08:28] ---**
What?
**[08:30] ---**
Apparently...
**[08:31] ---**
the Missing Member had the ability
even without being reconstructed.
**[08:37] ---**
He's combined the Mother Planet's
technology with new forms.
**[08:42] ---**
Chesto!
**[08:46] ---**
Please, hurry!
**[08:48] ---**
Speed up the countdown!
**[08:51] ---**
Yes! I cut the main line.
**[08:54] ---**
Quick! Lower the partition!
**[08:56] ---**
Right! But first I'm gonna disconnect
the other lines from the main one.
**[09:05] ---**
You killed his flowers! My Comrade's dream!
**[09:11] ---**
Van, please stop. You're ruining my plan.
**[09:16] ---**
Why are you doing this? Why?
**[09:20] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[09:21] ---**
Because you made me... mad!
**[09:34] ---**
We've lost the signal.
**[09:37] ---**
The Prison Planet Destroyer
has started to break away.
**[09:42] ---**
All sections and systems
are beyond repair...
**[09:47] ---**
and there is no way
to continue with the plan.
**[09:54] ---**
Big brother.
**[09:56] ---**
Wendy, maybe you're right.
**[10:01] ---**
But I think my path was also correct.
**[10:06] ---**
Even though there's no plan now,
I still want to go my own way.
**[10:10] ---**
And so I think you should too.
**[10:15] ---**
I want you to have it.
**[10:23] ---**
All right, big brother.
**[10:30] ---**
Kameo, I want you to take good care of her.
**[10:36] ---**
Goodbye, big brother.
**[10:43] ---**
You're really something.
**[10:49] ---**
We're starting over!
**[10:50] ---**
Comrade... Oh, Comrade...
**[10:52] ---**
Everyone, please listen!
**[10:54] ---**
The plan has suffered a setback,
thanks to Van.
**[10:58] ---**
I'm sorry, but that's the truth.
**[11:02] ---**
And so, we will start over
again from square one.
**[11:06] ---**
I'm so happy!
**[11:08] ---**
I'm going to be able to work with
you again on this great mission.
**[11:10] ---**
No matter what happens,
**[11:13] ---**
I will not die until
I've realized my dream!
**[11:17] ---**
Die!
**[11:19] ---**
Yes, we can thank Van for this too!
**[11:24] ---**
And that's why I want to
welcome him to the team!
**[11:28] ---**
He's just the person we
need for the new plan.
**[11:33] ---**
Because he represents the one thing
**[11:35] ---**
missing from the old plan,
the idiot factor! Van!
**[11:38] ---**
Thank you. Thank you.
**[11:41] ---**
You bastard!
**[11:42] ---**
Thank you. Thank you.
**[11:44] ---**
You piece of shit!
**[11:51] ---**
Thank you. Thank you.
**[11:54] ---**
Thank you!
**[11:56] ---**
Bring back the 101's to
protect our Comrade.
**[11:59] ---**
We can't! They're not...
**[12:01] ---**
They're not responding at all.
**[12:04] ---**
Van, I feel like a new person.
**[12:08] ---**
Thank you, my friend.
**[12:11] ---**
Go to hell, you bastard!
**[12:16] ---**
Comrade! We're sending
the Rescue Team now.
**[12:18] ---**
Stay where you are. We're coming!
**[12:20] ---**
Nero, that means the barrier's not working!
**[12:26] ---**
Hey!
**[12:27] ---**
Nice to meet ya. I'm Carlos.
**[12:29] ---**
At last we've all linked up.
**[12:31] ---**
Do we have any energy left?
**[12:33] ---**
Welcome back, Van.
**[12:38] ---**
Come on. Go finish this off.
**[12:46] ---**
This is amazing!
**[12:48] ---**
So many new friends!
**[12:52] ---**
Van!
**[13:04] ---**
Chesto!
**[13:35] ---**
Van, I love you.
**[13:56] ---**
Our Comrade is dead.
**[14:01] ---**
We have entered a "Case DC" scenario.
**[14:03] ---**
Under present circumstances,
the Terra Forming Base will fall.
**[14:06] ---**
We can't guarantee the stability
of the Refined Net either.
**[14:09] ---**
All those who wish to escape,
move to the second block immediately.
**[14:13] ---**
From this point on, everyone
should rely on their own judgment.
**[14:16] ---**
Please kill me.
**[14:19] ---**
What are you talking about now?
**[14:21] ---**
There's no reason for me to live anymore!
**[14:25] ---**
Oh, really? I see.
**[14:28] ---**
Get away.
**[14:30] ---**
From Fasalina... get away.
**[14:33] ---**
She's... She's...
**[14:39] ---**
Michael!
**[14:41] ---**
Hang in there! You hear me, Michael?
**[14:48] ---**
It's all right. We'll get
you to the infirmary.
**[14:51] ---**
Yeah, that's plenty reason
for you to live, isn't it?
**[14:57] ---**
Live out the rest of your days.
That'll serve as your atonement.
**[15:04] ---**
I swear.
**[15:05] ---**
You're so damn true to yourself...
**[15:08] ---**
it makes me sick.
**[15:12] ---**
Hurry up! Close the hatch!
**[15:14] ---**
The safety's on.
I'm giving it everything I've got.
**[15:23] ---**
Yukiko?
**[15:23] ---**
Oh, Carmen?
**[15:25] ---**
That's right, the old-timers
broke through the floor.
**[15:28] ---**
Yes! Joshua's here with us.
**[15:31] ---**
OK! And I've met up with Wendy.
**[15:34] ---**
Are we still evacuating to the same place?
**[15:36] ---**
Even if we make it to the ocean side,
we'll be trapped there.
**[15:38] ---**
I've made arrangements. Wait there.
**[15:40] ---**
Arrangements?
**[15:42] ---**
We can't wait here!
Like I thought, the ocean's...
**[15:44] ---**
The ocean's supreme!
**[15:48] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen, old-timers...
**[15:52] ---**
the ocean doesn't
answer to such sad faces.
**[15:57] ---**
Excuse me, who are you?
**[15:59] ---**
Captain Kaiji.
**[16:02] ---**
You're right on time. I knew you'd make it!
**[16:05] ---**
We didn't want some guy planting
his weird ideas in our heads either.
**[16:09] ---**
For Kaiji, it's nonsense.
**[16:13] ---**
All right, let's get out of here.
**[16:30] ---**
Cheers!
**[16:32] ---**
Once again, today the world
is safe thanks to our Boss.
**[16:35] ---**
That's good!
**[16:37] ---**
Nothing beats the sweet wine of victory!
**[16:40] ---**
Tone it down a bit, old-timers.
**[16:42] ---**
I'm proud to say our boss is
greater than the ocean itself!
**[16:45] ---**
Dreams, sweet reverie.
That is the privilege of victory.
**[16:50] ---**
Hey, my glass is empty!
Get me another drink!
**[16:54] ---**
You guys drink too fast.
**[16:56] ---**
You should value your lives more
after surviving something like that.
**[16:59] ---**
Don't worry. We're indestructible!
**[17:02] ---**
I didn't realize it was such a big deal.
**[17:13] ---**
I gave Dann a new set of
satellite coordinates.
**[17:17] ---**
It had a voice input system, didn't it?
**[17:20] ---**
Thanks. I appreciate it.
**[17:22] ---**
You don't have to thank me.
We're friends, aren't we?
**[17:25] ---**
It feels weird hearing you call me that.
**[17:29] ---**
So, what are you going to do after this?
**[17:32] ---**
I'm going to Meuuniere.
**[17:34] ---**
I'm going to ask
Vivian and Zanuck and see
**[17:36] ---**
if they can help me raise my
brother and Volcain from the sea.
**[17:40] ---**
That could take you forever.
**[17:43] ---**
Yukiko's going to help too.
**[17:46] ---**
I'm doing it no matter how long it takes.
**[17:50] ---**
Well, good luck.
**[17:52] ---**
Thanks. You take care too, Van.
**[17:57] ---**
Oh, welcome back!
**[17:59] ---**
Couldn't you have repaired the Armor later?
**[18:01] ---**
No, I was just giving it some first aid.
**[18:05] ---**
We're all here now.
**[18:07] ---**
Should I go wake those two upstairs?
**[18:08] ---**
Oh, but...
**[18:10] ---**
He's gone?
**[18:11] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:13] ---**
I see. It figures.
**[18:16] ---**
What?
**[18:18] ---**
Oh, you're awake?
**[18:20] ---**
Where's Van?
**[18:25] ---**
How could he leave
without saying anything?!
**[18:29] ---**
Girl, when a man completes his journey,
**[18:32] ---**
there's always a new sea to beckon him. OK?
**[18:36] ---**
No, it's not OK!
**[18:38] ---**
Should I have stopped him?
**[18:41] ---**
No, at this point it's better
to let him go his own way.
**[18:45] ---**
He wasn't sure what to do.
**[18:48] ---**
So he headed off for something new.
**[18:52] ---**
If we're lucky, we'll meet again.
**[18:54] ---**
What?! You said you'd get
him to go on a date with me!
**[18:58] ---**
What about me? Will I do?
**[19:02] ---**
You idiots!
**[19:02] ---**
You stupid idiots!
**[19:04] ---**
Hold on, Pricilla!
**[19:16] ---**
I guess it's impossible right now.
**[19:20] ---**
Van, I'm going back to Johanna's place.
**[19:23] ---**
I'm going back, but I'll
come see you again.
**[19:27] ---**
You still owe me an answer.
**[19:33] ---**
Hi!
**[19:34] ---**
Hey, what are you doing here?
**[19:36] ---**
What are you doing?
**[19:38] ---**
You could have at least said goodbye.
**[19:43] ---**
All right, I'm outta here.
**[19:44] ---**
I've gotta go make a shitload of money.
**[19:47] ---**
Thanks for everything. Take care.
**[19:50] ---**
Yeah, thanks Carmen.
**[19:57] ---**
Hey, Van!
**[19:59] ---**
You know I had a crush on you.
**[20:03] ---**
That's all. All right, see ya.
**[20:13] ---**
Have you grown?
**[20:16] ---**
Yeah, maybe.
**[20:18] ---**
You were just a kid when we first met.
**[20:23] ---**
What are you going to do now?
**[20:29] ---**
Well, I'll have to think about it.
See you then.
**[20:33] ---**
Oh, wait!
**[21:02] ---**
That's the last time I saw Van.
**[21:07] ---**
I see.
**[21:08] ---**
After hearing your story,
I can't imagine him dying.
**[21:12] ---**
Yes. Because he's Van,
"the indestructible man."
**[21:14] ---**
And yet you say he had
a problem with turtles?
**[21:17] ---**
He is a big fella though, isn't he?
**[21:19] ---**
He was small back then,
he just recently started growing.
**[21:23] ---**
I made it thinking it might
help you with your article.
**[21:26] ---**
It'll be a great help.
Thank you for telling me about it.
**[21:30] ---**
Please, help yourself.
**[21:32] ---**
That's spicy!
**[21:34] ---**
Sorry. I made it the way he likes it.
**[21:38] ---**
Oh, yes, indeed.
**[21:40] ---**
I want to treat him to a
great meal when he comes.
**[21:44] ---**
Then you don't think
the dead man's body
**[21:46] ---**
they found in Rockstone,
all dressed in black, was Van's?
**[21:49] ---**
No.
**[21:51] ---**
Actually, no one else
involved thinks so either.
**[21:55] ---**
I'm not surprised.
**[21:57] ---**
I mean, he's the hero who saved the world.
**[22:00] ---**
And that's why I know
we'll meet again someday.
**[22:04] ---**
Excuse me.
**[22:05] ---**
I was hoping to get something
to eat and a glass of milk.
**[22:07] ---**
