In a future to come...
...the third energy revolution arrives with the invention of the Shizuma Drive...
...and mankind reaches a newfound period of prosperity.
But within the shadows of this bright peace...
...two powers clash against each other.
A secret organization bent on world domination, the BF Group!
Everything for Big Fire!
And to oppose this threat, the Experts of Justice...
...is formed from members gathered from all across the globe!
The International Police Organization!
With them is the most powerful robot on the planet, Giant Robo...
...and the young man who commands it.
His name is Daisaku Kusama!
Crush them! Giant Robo!
GIANT ROBO
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
Episode 5: The Truth of Bashtarle Gone are the Days of Youth
Yes, that's correct.
After causing the destruction of the Shanghai Oil Fields...
...the Giant Sphere has disappeared without a trace!
I'm not sure sir!
In any event, we can't get any readings from inside the fire at Shanghai!
There's no mistake about it.
The fact that the newly installed Shizuma Drives are working is proof.
I see.
That must mean that the Anti-Shizuma Field has disappeared...
Yes, there is no doubt about it.
All right then, I will trust your deduction.
Go with the Gen Brothers to the site.
You must hurry to the crash site of the Greta Garbo.
Yes, and I have to relay what we've learned about that Sample.
Rest easy.
I've already dispatched someone to rescue them.
Then, he's on his way?
Daisaku!
Tetsugyu? You're back already?
How'd it go?
Then, back there...
Daisaku!
Ginrei!
Daisaku!
I'm sure he's fine.
Robo was with him...
But...
Attention Experts of Justice!
I have captured your precious Daisaku Kusama!
I will guarantee his life until sunrise.
Bring the attache case south of Karakoram...
...to the eastern opening of the Great Himalayan Tunnel.
I repeat...
Attention Experts of Justice!
I have captured Daisaku Kusama!
Oh?
That Genya, he's quite well prepared, isn't he?
Now, let's see what he's really up to...
Father...
I never expected Farmelle to be still alive...
...or for her to take sides with the enemy...
Daisaku!
A fever?
F-Father...
Father...
Father!
...Daisaku!
Father, hang on!
Daisaku, listen up.
Your father can't go on anymore...
I was hoping to make amends myself, but...
Daisaku, do you have that watch I gave you?
Y-Yes sir...
This is the only secret weapon that can fight against the BF Group.
Don't do it, Professor Kusama!
Do you know what it means for you to give that to your son?
Murasame, there's no more time...
...and there's so much I need to make up for...
But Professor Kusama!
Now, Daisaku...
Using this, you have to save the world!
And please tell me...
...is it possible to achieve happiness without sacrifice?
Tell me the answer to that question one day...
Father...
Father?
Father!
Oh no!
Stop!
Stop them!
Murasame!
Cervantes?
Daisaku, that's not something a child should play with.
Now give it back to us.
No!
I promised my father!
I do not like insolent children!
Robo!
Didn't I tell you?
It's not something a child should play with!
I promised my father...
...that I would defeat the BF Group!
That is unfortunate, Daisaku.
I always did like you...
How dare you?
Daisaku! The Rocket Bazooka!
Murasame?
What are you doing? Hurry!
O-Okay!
Robo!
Why you!
Robo, behind you!
Oh no!
GR-2!
This is Robo's power...
Can happiness be achieved without sacrifice?
Can a new era be reached without misfortune?
Please tell me the answers to those questions one day...
Father...
Father!
I understand...
I will...
I will keep my promise to you...
So Robo...
Robo will...
Promise...
Yes, it's probably the hardest on Daisaku...
If everything was normal, he'd have family and friends...
...and he would have lived the simple, happy life of a child...
He's only twelve years old...
Yeah...
...he's got it pretty hard.
His parents died and next thing he knew, he was alone...
S-Sorry...
It's all right, I myself doubted my own father, even if it was only for a moment...
...but Daisaku is strong.
Being with Giant Robo, it's almost as if he's always with his father.
Compared to that, my father...
Oh yeah, back on the ship you called out "Brother"...
...but it's fine if you don't want to talk about it...
It's okay...
I only had a glimpse, but I'm sure that was my older brother...
I had thought he died in the Tragedy of Bashtarle along with my father...
...but I was wrong...
That day was the last day I was able to be a child.
Since then, I've done as Professor Go asked...
I cast aside the name of Vogler at the only place I could...
...the International Police Organization.
It was like running away from the shadow of my father.
But Daisaku is different.
Even if he was alone, he'd keep the promise he made with his father...
I guess the only thing Daisaku has left of his father is a great warmth in his heart.
As for me, I don't have anything like that.
Huh?
Because when I was little, with my own hands, I...
This is the Sowabikatsu Rescue Team!
Crew of the Greta Garbo, come in please!
We are now in the skies over Karakoram!
This is...
Tetsugyu...
I'm sorry Ginrei...
But let me handle things...
Please.
Tetsugyu...
Greta Garbo, come in please!
Greta Garbo!
Well?
Is there still no trace of them?
W-Well...
The crash site is supposed to be around here...
...but because of last night's blizzard...
What's that?
Where?
Over there, at nine o'clock!
There's no mistake! That's a signal from Issei!
Professor! There's one over there too!
Hah!
The light of these lanterns is a spell that cannot be seen by the enemy.
Now if only an ally would see it...
Oh no! It's too soon for one of ours to show up!
Curse you, BF Group!
You will see the power of my wrath!
I see you!
What?
This technique...
Issei, I would hate for either of us to die from friendly fire.
Huh?
Wait a minute...
You're alive!
How can this be...
Taiso of the Celestial Nine is dead?
And along with him, the Blue Beast...
Professor Go...
I just don't get it.
This whole incident...
For what reason does Professor Vogler seek revenge?
That's right...
If he's the one who caused the Tragedy himself...
...what possible motive would he have for revenge?
Misplaced blame? Because he was caught in the explosion?
This isn't about misplaced blame at all...
What?
Yes, if there's one thing he has, it is a good reason to seek revenge.
What do you mean?
That's right...
At least this man does... Emmanuel von Vogler.
Hey, Ginrei?
Huh?
You're fine as you are...
No matter what, keep on believing in your father.
Think of everything that's happened up until now as a dream...
Don't doubt yourself for a moment, you'll only regret it.
Just like me...
Ginrei!
Well, we've brought the case as you requested.
Where's Daisaku?
Ginrei, now!
Daisaku!
Daisaku...
Daisaku!
Ginrei?
We can talk later!
Can you get up?
Well, well, planning on keeping both the case and the boy?
Brother...
Farmelle...
T-Then who's...
What?
W-Why you! You're still alive?
Oh no! Ginrei!
Tetsugyu!
Now there is no one to get in the way.
Brother!
Well then, return the case.
Brother!
With the Sample contained within that case, we will complete our revenge...
...just as our father wishes!
No, brother!
What's the matter?
For the last decade, you must have felt the same shame that I have!
Why hesitate?
Brother...
If you return the case to me willingly, I can protect you with my name.
Or will you use your teleport ability, Farmelle?
You know what will happen if you use that power carelessly...
Why would you do it? Your duty?
Or is it for that kid?
You would risk your life for such things?
Farmelle...
For what reason have you survived?
Shut up!
Why you!
Sorry, but I promised Brother Taiso and Sister Youshi that I'd protect Daisaku.
If I break that promise...
...they'll really kick my butt when we meet in the afterlife!
Tetsugyu...
Damn you...
But I'm not doing this just because of the promise...
I finally realized...
The reason why everyone wanted to protect Daisaku...
Daisaku...
When I saw you controlling Robo...
I couldn't stand it...
I couldn't stand how happy you looked...
And then when I heard about all my comrades who died protecting you...
...while you always seemed to take credit for the missions.
Why the hell are we doing this?
That's what I thought...
Then I got this idea about how I could make you sad.
That's why I took you to Shanghai, and now look at the result.
But I realized something while I was there!
When I saw you holding onto Robo and crying, it became all clear...
I realized that I was looking at myself!
That was the expression I had the first time I killed someone!
Although I didn't know it...
...I had killed my own father, a member of the BF Group...
With these hands!
Tetsugyu!
Damn! You half-dead fool!
Yeah, that was the expression I had...
Without realizing it, I was projecting my own frustrations onto you...
...but I figured that out too late.
I'm sorry Daisaku!
But from now on, I'll protect you!
So that you don't grow up to be an adult like me!
I'll show you! Gallop!
Tetsugyu!
I guess deactivating the Anti-Shizuma Field was the correct thing to do.
Farmelle!
You're not my brother!
You can't be my brother!
That's right, there is no going back for either of us!
We must go through with our revenge against those who...
...cast our father, Professor Vogler, in the role of destroyer of the world!
What good does that do now?
Have you forgotten it all?
Have you been able to live your life, forgetting everything?
Do you not remember who pressed the button out of self-righteousness?
And they call Professor Shizuma the Messiah of Energy?
Even if he could fool the world, I could never forget!
Never forget what really happened at Bashtarle!
No! It's too soon!
But we've achieved a vector reading of 98% with this sample!
It's the highest we've ever achieved!
That's true, but what about the remaining 2%?
How long must we wait?
Who knows, it might be a success even without the last 2%!
What are you saying?
You can't tell me that you don't know what could happen without that 2%!
See? We should not be doing any careless experiments!
You're wrong...
Listen, Vogler.
Looking back on the history of science, is it not a history of experimentation?
And have such experiments not brought upon us scientists the light of glory?
But it's also true that there have been irreparable failures as well.
I understand, it can't be helped.
But Vogler...
...at the feet of scientists like us is a mountain of those failures...
Yes, of countless tragedies...
You're one of them.
No...
Now is the time that we scientists must step off the stage of failure.
Why can't you see that?
So, what do we do?
Should we really postpone the experiment?
Yes, what Vogler says has merit.
But we can't leave things to him any more...
Then?
Yes, we do it tonight.
Huh? Strange, the power levels shouldn't fluctuate here...
Father?
These are keepsakes of Father and Mother...
Big brother?
Farmelle?
Father?
No! It's gone!
You go and wait in your room!
No!
Professor Go!
Emmanuel?
We have to stop Professor Shizuma and the others!
Where's father?
He's with them! Inside!
Don't do it! Listen to me!
You shut up and observe!
That's right! There's no need to experiment!
We will succeed this time!
And the people of the world will revere us with the glory we deserve!
Wait!
Do you see now? This is the missing 2%!
The energy!
Franken?
What are you doing?
I'm going to see with my own eyes...
Stop it! Do you want to die?
What is there to fear in the face of truth?
You're the ones who started this experiment.
You don't know what will happen! Wait!
Stop him!
Stop Vogler!
He's out of control!
Pull him away! Don't let him get near it!
Was this all for nothing?
That's right!
The experiment isn't ready! It's too dangerous!
It's too late.
We're abandoning this facility!
Fine then!
None of you have the right to become creators of the night!
Father!
Quickly, Go! Please take both of them and leave this place!
But Professor!
Leave me!
The World is waiting! Waiting for the fruits of our research!
We must create this new energy source as quickly as possible!
In order to do that, we mustn't have any fear!
I have lived by this, and I will die by it as well!
What reason is there to hesitate?
Father!
Emmanuel!
I leave the rest to you all!
Create the beautiful night!
Father!
No!
The Professor has already made his choice!
But we can't just let him, it's too horrible!
Father!
That's right, the truth of what happened at Bashtarle was...
...buried along with the melted down experimental core...
Then...
...the hatred that we've all had for Professor Vogler has been misplaced?
Right.
Then why did you remain silent?
You're his head assistant, you were with his daughter! You could have cleared his name!
After Professor Shizuma's official announcement, who would have believed us?
Besides, by remaining silent...
...we allowed the research perfecting the drive to continue...
Isn't that what Professor Vogler would have wanted?
Even if the truth is lost in a river of tears that no one will ever see...
"Dead men tell no tales." It's a fine saying.
Why can't we keep the truth to ourselves?
I cannot do that!
This Still Earth Operation was planned by our father!
That's impossible!
Father was a kind man, he would never...
It's not a lie!
I also escaped using my teleport ability... with Father!
It can't be...
The fact that I'm standing before you now is proof!
T-Then Father is still...
He passed away soon after...
...with his name still tarnished by Professor Shizuma.
And do you know where we hid?
Underground, beneath the ruins of Bashtarle...
It was a place no one wanted to go near.
It was the perfect place for us to hide.
Father was in such a desolate place...
Can you picture it?
Father was in an almost lifeless condition, both physically and mentally!
He couldn't even speak in his sadness...
But one day, when he saw the newly completed Shizuma Drive, Father...
Suddenly, Father locked himself inside the laboratory.
For days, all I could do was pound on the door.
And when the doors opened again...
Those samples were there.
Father!
M-My son...
You cannot! You cannot leave things as they are!
Listen Emmanuel!
You must stop Shizuma!
Shizuma must be stopped...
It was magnificent!
Unlike the Samples created ten years ago...
...these were designed to only nullify the Shizuma Drive!
He wouldn't!
He did! Father did not forgive Professor Shizuma!
That's why it's revenge!
And I will make the Earth stand still! I will recreate the Tragedy of Bashtarle!
All of mankind closed its eyes to the truth, everyone is equally guilty!
I don't care what happens to the Earth while it is under the control of such people!
B-But...
Father will never come back!
There is no justice in this world!
In order to see this revenge through...
...I'll use anyone I can, even the BF Group!
Now do you see, my sister?
Give me the Sample.
B-But...
Do you not want to fulfill Father's wishes?
Hmm?
Father...
Don't do it!
Daisaku?
Don't do it!
Don't give him the case!
There's no way your father would say those things, Ginrei!
Silence!
You're nothing but a foolish child!
Now, Farmelle...
Run, Ginrei!
Farmelle!
Ginrei! Farmelle!
Ginrei!
Farmelle!
Father...
Give me strength!
Gallop!
Good, get her along with the case!
Robo!
Giant Robo!
What?
Come to me, Robo!
Robo!
To think I'd be the one to save you again...
Look, Murasame.
I guess we won't be sleeping outside again.
Farmelle...
Quite a farce you put on...
Isn't that right, Emmanuel von Vogler?
Mr. Alberto, you're a member of the Magnificent Ten, and you did nothing but watch?
Silence!
How dare you use the BF Group for your personal vendetta!
In the name of Big Fire, I'm taking over this operation!
You'll face the Magnificent Ten Tribunal and be executed!
Do you think you can do it?
Why you!
Ko Enshaku?
Why?
This is the gun belonging to a member of the Experts of Justice, Ginrei.
Mr. Alberto, unfortunately you've been killed in the line of duty.
Are you saying that this is the will of Big Fire?
He knows everything you've been doing?
To be continued...
Ginrei?
