The typhoon is currently passing...
... iles away from New Oregon.
The gale is expected to last until morning...
... so a strict warning is still in effect for...
So this is a typhoon...
I heard the wind can be strong, but I never dreamed...
She's really huffy, all right! Definitely a relation of Mr. Vash!
Her name is Jacqueline, and...
Mr. Vash? Excuse us...
...but might we come in for a...
Huh?
"Please don't look for me. " - Vash -
He got us. Either he's incredibly slippery...
...or incredibly crazy to go out in these conditions!
It's okay, ma'am!
I suspected he might do something like this, so when I had his tray...
...I slipped one of these into his breakfast.
A transmitter!
I'm amazed Bernardelli let you have that!
It was a going-away present from the chief!
I goof up so much, he said I should use any means not to be outwitted!
That is nothing to brag about.
Look, look! He's really close by!
Almost! We'll catch up to him in no time!
We're getting warmer...
Warmer...
Oh, my god! He turned into a cat!!
Wrong!
Vash...
Vash!
Can you stand, Vash?
Here.
Oops!
What's wrong? We're like brothers, aren't we?
This is all your fault!
You killed Rem...
The crew...
...you killed them all!!
Yes, and it's very colorful. It's superb...
...except for the fraction who will be saved because of Rem's meddling.
Knives...
...you...
...you aren't human!!
Damned right I'm not!!
Don't compare me to those imperfect things!
Don't compare me to them! Don't compare me to them!!!
You'll see, you trash. I'll kill you all.
Only we will be left on this planet!
Rem...
Vash...
... take care of Knives!
I know, Rem...
I have to face him.
And then...
Jacqueline's ankle should pass near the craggy bluff...
...to the southeast at 1:22 pm.
I'm counting on you, old man.
If you're wrong, I'll haunt you to the grave!!!
It gives me a freaking heart attack every time!
See? It's still going batta-boom...
I thought you were committing suicide.
Suicide? I despise that word the most...
What're you doing here?!
First you cry your eyes out, and then you run around jumping off cliffs.
What are you after?
I'm visiting the folks.
Huh? Come again?
I'M VISITI NG THE FOLKS!!
Are you saying they built a house in the sky?
I'm sick of your lies!
What is this?
What it looks like.
It's a ship that failed to crash 130 years ago.
This is unbelievable...
Who knew the lost technology was still preserved like this?
You said you were visiting the folks.
Are you saying people live there?
I think you'll be their first houseguest in 20 years.
M... Mr. Legato...
... he has made his move.
Also, Vash the Stampede appears to be working...
... with a minister clad in black.
I suspect this man is...
Even if he is, your tasks will not change.
Yes. Understood, sir.
You are such a fool...
Had you behaved, you might have lived to see Doomsday.
But I'm pleased...
...for now, I can fulfill another of my Master's wishes.
Doctor, you won't believe this!!
Someone is here from the outside?
Uh, yeah.
It's him. He's back.
Is this your first time meeting him?
No, I met him once when I was 6.
Then this will be your first time seeing a legend.
Come with me.
That man is back?
How many years has it been since I last opened this door?
Is he there?
Ow, mercy, mercy! Mega-mercy!!
Now that you brought me all this way, what do you mean I can't come in?!
Hey, doc!
Is that him?! Is THAT him?!
What a relief! He hasn't changed a bit.
You're Brad, aren't you? You sure have grown.
By the way, who is he?
I'm not quite sure of that myself.
I don't mind you wandering around the place, but don't bring outsiders!
Oh, don't be like that...
Don't stare! Inside!
That's how it is.
All right. I'll behave.
Vash!!!
Vash!
Vash!!!
This is all rather sudden, young lady!
I may be easy, but even I need a little warning!
Jessica?
That's right! You remembered!
Wow, wow! This is the coolest!!
I didn't know you had such a cute girlfriend!
You lucky devil, you!
What's this, you showing off your girl?
I'm sorry, I have to talk to the doctor.
Aw, no fair!
Jessica.
Come see me after, okay? Right after. Immediately after!
If you don't, I'll hate you!
All right, all right.
I'll just be a second.
Is Max well?
Yeah, he's doing great! He hasn't taken an eye off those forecast charts.
I haven't introduced myself yet.
I'm...
What did you expect?
The inhabitants here aren't like you violent, warring outsiders.
You make this place stink like gunpowder.
Stay put until he gets back!
Got that?
At least offer me a drink, for crying out loud!
For crying out loud! We barely manage to find him...
...and already he slips out from under our noses!
Ma'am, listen! We can't go out there! It's too dangerous!
We can't abandon our duties!
A city cradled in lost technology.
I'm starting to see what makes you tick, Needle-noggin.
Get out of here!!
I'm sorry!
Don't sweat it.
But I feel the same as the boy.
I beg you, please leave this place.
Why, so you can all live out your cozy little lives?
Your plants aren't inexhaustible. They could break down someday.
You can't cling to them forever.
What are you talking about?! You have no idea...
...how hard we work to maintain these systems!
l-It's better than living out there!
They say you care nothing about people's lives!
Hear, hear!
Like it or not, the time will come!!
The time will come for all of you to live on that desert planet!
Anything new happen while I was away?
Not really. They're still sleeping in suspended animation.
Oh.
We were all worried sick. You've been out of touch for nearly 5 years.
I'm sorry.
5 years is probably the blink of an eye to you, anyway.
That's enough, Brad! He isn't that sort of a person!
Person?
A person, huh?
But since you've returned, I suppose it isn't over yet.
Did you come into contact with him in the 5th moon incident?
Not directly, but I think he had a hand in it.
My memory of it is gone, just like the time with July.
Did you fire it?
Hey! Just a damned minute!!
Doesn't that make you the more destructive of the two?!
Enough, Brad!
- Well, doesn't it?! - Brad...
Yes. It might.
That's not funny. That's not funny!!
Who came up with such a risky idea?!
I know that!
However, the only one who has opposed him and lived...
...is that gentle man.
Will you believe me?
Please.
I'm sorry.
No, he's right.
To ordinary people, I must seem like a monster.
Well, that's only half of it. He's in love with Jessica.
Apparently, he told her so a short time ago.
Jessica...
I'm sorry...
...I'm going to marry Vash!
No...! ...I'm going to marry Vash!
No...! ... marry Vash! ...marry Vash!
That's the other half.
What's this?
You wanted this, didn't you?
He's back, but he isn't being much fun.
At least he hasn't changed! He hasn't changed a bit!
Vash!
Wait! Wait for me!
Look at me! Look at me!
I'm so naive!
Of all the rotten, ignorant people!
Doesn't anybody take the word of a priest anymore?!
What's wrong? Hey, in there!
Don't make doors that can't be opened!!
Y-You...
What are you doing?!
It wasn't me. They were like this when I got here.
Hey, listen to me!
What happened?!
- Brad! - It's Terry and Nasha!
You...! You!!
It wasn't me.
Will you believe me?
You can't prove that!
This is great. It's the smoothest one yet!
Come on, we'd better hurry. It's gotten really late.
Jessica will be furious.
That's funny... Where is she?
Oh, yes. She wanted to give you that.
She was really looking forward to your return.
- Doctor... - Hm?
What...
Once again, it wasn't me.
Shut up, you murdering outsider!
You're serious, aren't you?
You seriously want to fight me, don't you?
Hey, what are you doing?!
Joseph!
Move it!!
You did this!
Back, you fool!
You're no match for the likes of him!
Leonof, I presume?
Oh? I'm honored you know my name!
We've never met, but I've heard of you...
... the man who rings the black funeral bell...
... Chapel the...
Don't say it, you doll fetishist!
Holy shit!
This is just a warm-up for both of us.
That's right.
It wouldn't be difficult to beat you now...
... but that would be boring.
How about this?
Jessica!!
I've been watching you through his eyes the entire time.
I know you have feelings for this young lady.
You know what I'm getting at, don't you?
You peace-dulled fool! Can't you see it's a trap?!
I know it's a trap.
Then lower your piece!
But there's...
...there's no other way!!
There is another way.
If we ignore the girl's plight, we will definitely make it through.
What did you say?!
I think that is the best option.
It's the only way any of us will survive this.
Shut up!!
However, I know a guy who whines and cries...
...until he finds a way to save everyone.
A man who takes a stand...
...though it scars him from head to toe.
And he's right there!
Jessica!
Are you all right?! Did they hurt you?!
N-No...
You took too long.
A flower... A red flower.
Isn't it pretty? It's called a geranium.
There are more types of flowers on Earth.
They are very dear to people's hearts.
Can you eat them?
Well, some flowers can be eaten...
Do you like flowers, Rem?
I love flowers. Red flowers are often used to describe love.
Even the tiniest flowers that brave the elements are wonderful.
But in flower language, red geraniums have another meaning.
They mean "determination. "
Hey! Where did you get that red coat?!
Vash the Stampede!
Vash, Vash, Vash!
I was so scared!
Hey, hey!
Are we upset?
You act as though this has ended.
Some of my children are still there.
And besides, who ever said...
... the Gung-Ho Guns call one at a time?
What?!
Three of them!
That's right.
Three demons...
...have arrived.
This is your big comeback celebration...
... Vash the Stampede.
