[01:37] ---
    The planet "Endless Illusion,"
[01:39] ---
    a lost soul's paradise
    where savage dreams abound.
[01:45] ---
    The man crossed a river...
[01:48] ---
    advancing step by step
    while lost in the darkness,
[01:52] ---
    and staring only at the
    barely visible light.
[01:57] ---
    When he finished crossing,
[01:59] ---
    a new world lay spread out before him.
[02:04] ---
    "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.

    Even Manson's over there with them.

    I don't want to. You go.
[07:46] ---
    I don't want to go either.
[07:48] ---
    That's for sure.

    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.

[10:04] ---

[10:12] ---
    ♪ Missoghi! ♪
[10:14] ---
    Is that so...?
[10:16] ---
    Tomorrow, if your representative
    reaches the finish line

    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] ---

    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] ---
    What?

[17:10] ---
    You wont be let free, no matter what!
[17:12] ---
    Wendy!
[17:13] ---
    Hurry!
[17:14] ---
    Yes! I know!
[17:16] ---
    Meliane, settle this quickly!
[17:18] ---
    They aren't fit to be called women.
[17:20] ---
    Then I won't hold back.
[17:23] ---
    She's...!
[17:24] ---
    Hey...
    It's not supposed to be like this.
[17:26] ---
    Meliane!
[17:27] ---
    What is it?
[17:30] ---
    All right! Go!
[17:31] ---
    All the way to the finish!
[17:33] ---
    This is interesting. Now we've got a match.
[17:40] ---
    Number 3 and 4 valves check.
[17:42] ---
    Workers, please meet in area 5.
[17:44] ---
    Hi! Long time no see.
[17:46] ---
    Yes, indeed. Are you in a rush?
[17:50] ---
    What about you?
[17:56] ---
    You're still just a kid.
[17:57] ---
    There!
[17:59] ---
    That's it, Meliane! Almost there!
    Right there!
[18:09] ---
    This victory is for you, my Royal Highness!
[18:13] ---
    Hey... what's that strap?
[18:16] ---
    Meliane, your bathing suit!
[18:18] ---
    For the sake of the Kingdom of Missoghi!
[18:22] ---
    What?
[18:24] ---
    I can't... move!
[18:26] ---
    Your bottom!
    It's your bathing suit bottom!
[18:29] ---
    Bottom? It can't be... my...!
[18:32] ---
    Oh, no...
[18:33] ---
    I can't believe I'm losing to a stupid kid!
[18:37] ---
    It's the...!
[18:40] ---
    "Female...

    Soaring Eagle!"

    ♪ Missoghi! ♪
[18:47] ---
    My bathing suit!
[18:59] ---
    Bravo, Challenger!
[19:01] ---
    You have shown your mettle
[19:03] ---
    and will receive the same
    bathing suit as I...
[19:09] ---
    Your Majesty, the underground water!
[19:11] ---
    The water from the
    underground lake is leaking!
[19:14] ---
    What?!
[19:15] ---
    Stop it! At this rate we'll...
[19:19] ---
    There's an underground lake here?
[19:22] ---
    It's not good. The foundation's collapsing.
[19:30] ---
    Is the Queen of Missoghi part
    of your group by any chance?
[19:32] ---
    No, I just asked her to do some work.
[19:35] ---
    I see. Well, it doesn't matter.
[19:38] ---
    As long as I'm able to get even with you.
[19:45] ---
    What's your name?!
[19:47] ---
    My name is Fasalina.
[19:50] ---
    But we'll never see each
    other again, will we?
[19:54] ---
    Fasalina!
[19:57] ---
    I'm going to collect! I'll track you down!
[20:00] ---
    A state of emergency has been declared!
[20:02] ---
    The lake is flooding into the territory.
[20:04] ---
    The entire Kingdom has
    been ordered to evacuate.
[20:07] ---
    Hey! Turn the switch for my bathing suit!
[20:11] ---
    Put me back up! Somebody!
[20:14] ---
    Catherine Nakata, also known
    as the Queen of Missoghi.
[20:17] ---
    Sorry, but we're taking you.
[20:19] ---
    What?
[20:20] ---
    Hey, I think we're in trouble.
[20:25] ---
    Everyone! Get out of here!
[20:28] ---
    Carmen, where were you?
[20:30] ---
    That's not important!
[20:33] ---
    Manson! The Kingdom!
    The Kingdom of Missoghi!
[20:37] ---
    Look what they've done.
    They didn't have to go that far.
[20:40] ---
    No, they didn't.
[20:41] ---
    I thought Carmen said they
    weren't going to hurt anyone.
[20:45] ---
    No. This might have been Wendy.
[20:47] ---
    It's confirmed! Everyone made it out!
[20:49] ---
    Wait. What about the Queen?
    Where's the Queen?!
[20:54] ---
    It's...!
[20:55] ---
    The Queen!
[20:56] ---
    Thank goodness.
[20:57] ---
    You swine! Move out of the way!
[21:00] ---
    We can't help it!
    If we lose our balance we'll fall!
[21:05] ---
    I need to borrow this for a minute!
[21:07] ---
    No!
[21:08] ---
    Pricilla!
[21:19] ---
    It was an easy job, I guess...
[21:23] ---
    Wendy was amazing.
[21:25] ---
    Yeah... but what's this thing?
[21:28] ---
    It's the Queen of Missoghi's...
[21:31] ---
    You pawns of loathsome men!
[21:33] ---
    You will now know the
    Queen of Missoghi's terror...
[21:35] ---
    Catherine!
[21:37] ---
    Manson?
[21:39] ---
    That's enough.
[21:40] ---
    Your talent wasn't meant to
    be used for this sort of thing.
[21:43] ---
    Let's start over. Come back to me.
[21:46] ---
    You're asking me now?
[21:47] ---
    Even after you hurt and refused me?
[21:50] ---
    I'm sorry about those things. That's why...
[21:52] ---
    I don't believe you!
[21:55] ---
    Even after this?!
[21:56] ---
    Hey!
[21:58] ---
    That's the men's
    prototype I made, "Great Men 75."
[22:04] ---
    That's right, Catherine. Come back.
[22:07] ---
    Like this boomerang!
[22:11] ---
    Manson!
[22:12] ---
    Catherine!
[22:17] ---
    Van.
[22:19] ---
    What?
[22:20] ---
    This is what they call a
    "happy ending," right?
[22:24] ---
    Go to sleep.
[22:25] ---
    I can't sleep.
[22:27] ---
    Go to sleep.
[22:27] ---
    But...
[22:29] ---
    Go to sleep.
[22:30] ---
    Is this a "happy ending"?
[22:31] ---
    Yeah. It's over.
[23:56] ---
    "Prayers Are For Saudade"
[23:57] ---
    I think about it sometimes, even now.
[24:00] ---
    I wonder what my brother
    was doing while I was traveling.
[24:05] ---
    I'm sure he experienced
    lots of things, just like I did.
[24:10] ---
    Of course, not all of it was good.
[24:13] ---
    There must have been painful
    and hurtful moments as well.
[24:16] ---
    But I think those experiences
    forced us to grow up.
