[01:37] ---
    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
    which is, after all,
[01:50] ---
    the gathering spot for
    the dregs of outer-space.
[01:56] ---
    Having defeated their strongest enemy,
[01:58] ---
    Van and Wendy continue on their journey.
[02:01] ---
    All trips come with their
    share of encounters,
[02:05] ---
    but today's encounter is sure to be
    very hot, very pure, and very noisy.
[02:11] ---
    "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.
