CENTRAL ANIME
A.X.I.S.
Mr. Masumi, here's the last of the mission instructions.
OK, tell Bill that I'll make contact with Fugaku on time.
Roger.
It's ready. You can take off on the 2km straightaway up ahead.
Good, start the engine.
Contact !
Is there a problem with our maintenance ?
Taishi !
``The stowaway can't complain if he was kicked out over the sea.''
You're gonna rescue Bai Lan Hua, right ?
She was captured because of me.
I've gotta go. Please take me with you !
How did you ... ?
Sorry, but I'm going to a briefing on the next Kishin Heidan operation.
You're heartless.
It's been three days. Don't you care if she get's killed by the Kwantong Army ?
Don't jump to conclusions. She'll be alright without your help.
Why was he laughing ?
You had the wrong bullets for the gun.
KISHIN HEIDAN
``MACHINE GOD CORPS''
Struggle !~~~~~The Running Train Operation.
How's the Fuehrer been lately ?
Still suppressing Jews ?
If the Nazis realized the true nature of the Fuehrer, there would be riots immediately.
No matter what the Fuehrer is... He's become a god now.
A god ? So is it true that the Fuehrer...
...has made a deal with the aliens ?
There's no such thing as mercy when you strive for victory.
You know something, don't you ?
It's impressive that you and Takamura could've made the Module Body combat ready.
No, that's not true.
Kishin is not a weapon, it's for ``active defense.''
That fully loaded machine isn't a weapon ? Don't make me laugh.
I'm sure you've recieved many orders from death merchants all over the world.
It must be such a honor, for you, as a developer ?
Eva, you've forgotten Takamura's wishes.
The Module Body is not a weapon of war.
And, ironically, he was killed by the aliens.
He was supposed to know the Module better than anybody else.
Let me ask you...
Are you the one who informed the Kwantong Army of Takamura's movements ?
There were only a few people who knew about the meeting of the Kishin Heidan...
...which was formed mainly by the U.S., England, France and Japan to defeat the aliens.
Then why can't Germany join them ? German technology is recognized by everyone.
You've seen the aliens yourself...
...you should about know the dangers of the Module, too.
Are you still going to cooperate with the Fuehrer who sold his soul to devil ?
No.
What do you mean by ``no'' ?
You went to assist the Kwantong Army and...
...prove to the Allied countries that Germany's momentum was unstoppable.
You're wrong !
Taishi.
Maria....
You have Maria's face...
...but you're researching the black box for the people who attacked {destroyed} Urasinabank, aren't you ?
Taishi...
Answer me.
ANSWER ME !!
Taishi, calm down.
That's right, I'm a scientist.
To be able to study such an attractive subject, I wouldn't care if it was right or wrong.
Damn you !
Suguro...
Don't you care about Maria ?
She's nursing the people who were injured by your people !
She sat up all night taking care of my back, too !
Stop it, Taishi !
She's being used by the Fuehrer.
You can make a killer weapon, but can you make Borshch ?
Taishi !
I'd better get off this train.
Please wait.
Just stay for a while, we won't treat you badly.
Bill...
...so, we discovered that the Kwantong Army's Module Body will be transported...
...by a camouflaged Manchurian train from Tarlen to Harbin.
After this point, they have to run at normal speed on this 2km long stretch dual tracks.
So, Kishin-go will be on the opposite track where we'll attempt to steal their Module Body.
What about other trains ?
Fortunately, the Kwantong Army controls this line...
...so other trains are stopped on both tracks while they're passing through.
The operation begins at 12:00. All hands, be prepared. Understood ?
Dismissed ! Advance squad, begin laying communication wires.
Damn...
No work, no food. Get me some oil.
Quickly !
Hurry up !
Y...yes !
Where's the oil ?
It's over there.
Hurry it up, kid !
Right away.
Daisaku, could you give me a hand ?
Sorry, I've been assigned somewhere else {away from here} today.
Here's your food. Eat up like before, Miss Lone Wolf, Bai Lan Hua.
Sergeant, don't underestimate Bai Lan Hua.
I treat her with the utmost respect{at highest manner}.
You misunderstand me.
What I'm trying to say is that she's the pilot of the Module Body, Raijin.
They must have abilities we haven't discovered since we're using a defective Module.
I'm not sure whether it's physical or mental strength...
...but to operate the Module freely, the pilot's brainwaves must be synchronized with it.
Naturally, she must have information about the Module that we don't have.
I understand. So I'm...
With the special drugs they have in Unit 731 in Harbin...
...we could obtain sufficient information in a short period of time.
I see. So she might become the pilot of your Module Body, right ?
The security around her is supposedly perfect.
She seems nearly exhausted and I don't think she's capable of acting against us...
No guesswork ! Just tell me the facts.
According to the guard, she's not moving around except to eat.
It's rice gruel made from leftovers.
Don't give her anymore food until we arrive in Harbin !
If they make a move, this is the place where it will occur.
They wouldn't dare...
Keep an eye on her. She's saving her strength. I think she'll try something soon.
If they get close, you may open fire. And, if you can, steal Raijin.
Kid, you stay here.
Old man, the chamber is in a good mood.
Time 12:00.
Front, check.
Rear, check.
Kishin-go, moving out.
Anything unusual ?
No, nothing so far.
The Kwantong Army's train is confirmed, 100m ahead.
Let me help.
It's crowded here. Go protect the ``lunch box'' in Suguro's office.
But...
That's your current task. Hurry up, go.
Be patient and aim at the engineer.
We're closing. Get ready.
Taishi, you should stay in here.
Bill, Kishin Heidan's operation point is...
Eva, please don't say anything now.
Alright, here they come.
It's HUGE !
Let me see !
Incredible !
You idiots, what the hell are you doing ?
You cowards ! It's just a bluff !
Get down !
They're taking action {messing around} without thinking about the prisoner.
You, check inside.
It'd be too bad if you got hit by friendly fire.
Don't worry{Not that}.
What ?
Members of Kishin Heidan aren't stupid enough to be hit by friendly fire.
Tell me about the connection between the Kwantong Army, the Nazis and the aliens.
As a soldier, I won't beg for my life.
Great, but I don't want to die. Where is the Colonel ?
If you stand there like that, the next bullet will hit you.
Oh, yeah, then your train shouldn't be running on the same track, either.
What ?
B...Bai Lan Hua !
No one in Kishin Heidan is that stupid.
Oh, my God.
We're in trouble !
...Big trouble !
From up ahead, Ryu-jin's reporting that an unknown train...
...has entered the blocked track that we're on !
If we keep going at this speed...
...in 20 minutes, Kishin-go will crash head-on into the other train !
``S... Sonna..!''
Can't Ryu-jin stop the train ?
Sorry, but Ryu-jin can't move that fast...
...and it'll break up coordination with Fu-jin in the air causing the operation to fail.
This project must not fail !
How about using this siding ?
``Sore wa ii.'' Let somebody land from Fugaku...
In this terrain, a parachute will drift and it's dangerous.
``Ah, Kami-sama...''
Mr. Tamura, I don't care what it takes, please do something.
But...
Colonel, according to a radio transmission we intercepted...
...there's a train heading toward Kishin-go.
Head-on collision in 20 minutes.
So, the Fuehrer kept his promise.
Why won't it start ? It's such a short distance, if I go straight...
What are you doing ?
Scatter-brained, just like your father. The gas was shut off.
Don't stop me.
I won't. Be careful.
Be careful, Takamura.
T...Taishi !
Old man, look !
Eva, why didn't you stop him ?!
Even if I tried, he would've gone anyway.
Eva, you'd better come here and...Eva...
N...Nazis !
No, you don't !
Bastards !
Taishi's going to be shot at by the ``Bettys''...
Kishin-go, accelerate to 90{ per hour}.
Say what ?!
Repeat !
Aye, Kishin-go, accelerate to 90 {per hour}.
Kishin-go, decelerate to 60{ per hour}.
There's no time to relax, Bill.
T...Taishi !
Colonel, I'm here.
It's possible to operate the Module Body manually, is it not ?
You don't mean...
Don't be reluctant{No hesitation necessary}.
Don't let them escape ! Get Kishin-go !
No, I don't think so !
Bai Lan Hua ?!
I'm taking this Module Body.
Cut the bull{Stop nonsense}. The controls are here.
Is the Kwantong Army's Module Body complete ?
Only the upper body..
Although the Module isn't installed, it can easily destroy this train.
Damn you.
Slow down ! It's going to roll off !
You bastard.
Shinkai, where are you ?!
Bai Lan Hua, you're safe !
Bill, activate Raijin now.
Don't be ridiculous. It's too dangerous while the train is moving.
And if we open the hatch now, it'll be an easy target for the ``Bettys''.
Our support has arrived on time.
The air unit.
Shinkai...!
Shinkai, where are you ?!
Prepare to activate !
Prepare to activate.
Old man, this vibration...
Accelerate right after we clear this curve and run side by side with them.
Roger.
Kishin Heidan to ``Bettys'', cease fire and withdraw immediately.
``Bettys'', respond !
I knew it. Fu-jin, launching !
Damn !
The Module Body's movements seem different now.
Good.
What's that...?
Call the Colonel ! Hurry !
Damn it.
You can't defeat an enemy with only spirit and momentum.
Colonel !
C...Colonel...
Bai Lan Hua !
I wanna make it clear that I'm not running away.
Gotcha !
Damn you Kishin Heidan. I'll obtain the power of the aliens yet.
Keep heading towards Harbin !
This place is...
Takamura has left us a great hope.
A bit reckless, but it's probably because he's young.
He's not the only reckless one.
Is he qualified to be a member ?
Mr. Suguro...
Yes.
This is for you.
OK, Taishi.
This was your father's... Keep it safe.
So, Kimihiko, could you fly me to the nearest city ?
Eva, a German scientist is waiting to see you. What are you going want to do ?
Come on, Taishi.
To be continued.
