[01:37] ---
    It's the fairyland at the
    bottom of the universe.
[01:43] ---
    Dreams in a wasteland.
[01:45] ---
    A town overrun with violence.
[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] ---
    "Heroes One More Time"
[23:57] ---
    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
[24:18] ---
    the characters in any tale or legend.
[24:22] ---
