We were searching for Dew.
A rumor had spread that Dew was the detonator of the planet-destroyer cannon, Moby Dick,
and that he was a spy sent from the Federation Government.
So he and Miss Sara were driven out of the Independence Movement's headquarters.
In any case, whatever happens,
Dew is someone you can trust, and he's our friend.
Isn't that right?!
Yeah, yeah!
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
But man, what a surprise!
To think Dew is the detonation device.
Detonation device, what is it?
In simple words, it's just like the flushing handle on a toilet!
Or your PIN number on your bank account.
PooPIN'?
Not poopin', PIN!
A PIN by itself has no worth, and can't even buy you a ball of fried octopus.
But try going to the ATM and punching those numbers in,
and watch the amount in your bankbook change!
Then moolah comes a-flowing from your withdrawal!
Withdrawal?
That's right.
Or maybe you could say it's like a signature on divorce papers.
Wha?!
The signature itself doesn't have much meaning,
but once you've put that signature on the document...
Alimony! Separation!
Never to meet again! Abandoned!
Walked out on! No one cleans for you, you're eating meals alone!
Barba, got it!
No, you don't! Yoshiko!
We don't have time for this!
Anyone joking around will be left behind!
I'm coming!
Yeah, yeah!
Yoshiko!
There was a blizzard, just as sunset was nearing.
Dew and Sara were still nowhere to be found.
Big brother...
It looks like we'll have to camp out again tonight.
Episode 23
The Moad War Begins
Where will I drift to?
Who knows this?
Even in darkness, if you don't give up
Light will definitely come
Solitude and love are fighting against each other
I will go with the wind, no matter how far
As long as I have a dream
I shall continue to live, no matter what happens
As long as you are here
You may not be Harry after all.
You're kind like Harry, and warm like Harry.
But no matter how long I wait, you don't remember the past when we had good times.
Everyone calls you ''Dew.''
Sara...
Maybe I've been under a terrible misunderstanding.
I'm sorry, Dew.
What's wrong, Sara?!
I am Sara.
I will sing a song for you,
a song about romance,
a song about love.
SARA!
Mr. President...
Pardon me for bringing this up so early after your inauguration,
however, there are many problems stacked up that need to be addressed as soon as possible.
What is our top priority? The Moad issue?
Yes, Sir. I believe it is time for a decision.
Your Excellency, information is beginning to leak at the civilian level through their networks.
If this continues, the mass media may show their support for the Moad Independence Movement.
I wish the former President had dealt with at least this problem.
Please, a decision, Sir.
The 7th Fleet is already standing by over Moad.
Can't sleep, Lucky?
Nope...
You should get some sleep. It's your turn to watch the fire next.
You'll have a hard time tomorrow.
The blizzard...
Huh? The blizzard...
Huh? I wonder if the blizzard's going to keep up?
It will stop while you're asleep.
Huh?
That's how it is, when you're still a kid.
But it doesn't work that way once you're grown up.
There's nothing gained just by waking up to a new day.
The bad stuff just continues.
No, usually, it's gotten even worse.
When you're grown up, that's how it is.
You still think I'm a kid!
What, do you want me to say you've become pretty?
Sheesh! I hate you, Captain!
Sheesh! Sheesh!
Sheesh!
I'm thinking it's about time I stop putting things off.
I'm talking about him.
I came to Moad so that I could get back at him.
I mean the White Whale.
Nothing will get done by sitting here mulling over it forever.
What? We're going to mull white whale meat?
Huh? Moby Dick's here?
What?! You're saying it's Moby Dick?!
It's Moby Dick! It's Moby Dick! It's Moby Dick!
Where is he? You're saying Moby Dick is here?!
It's Moby Dick! It's Moby Dick! It's Moby Dick!
Where is he? You're saying Moby Dick is here?!
Huh? Hey!
Bring it on!
What, you bastard?!
Barba! Barba! Barba!
SHUT UP YOU BASTARDS!
There, there...
Do you think the blizzard's still going on?
Oh, you're awake, White?
Eyes wide open!
Then you watch the fire!
Huh?
Hey, why does that follow?!
Hey, hey, why? Come on, tell me!
Shut up and watch the fire!
Yes, Ma'am...
That's right, big brother.
We now have less than two months until the Moad Detonation Plan.
Just as Captain Ahab said,
unless we do something about Moby Dick, there is no future for us.
That's right.
Every time we wake up to a new day, our Moad is one step closer to despair.
Abandon me.
What are you talking about, Sara? You're just low on energy.
You'll get better soon.
Wait here. Got it?
I'll find some Poisy and come back, no matter what? Got it?
The shore is 80 Moad miles away.
If I travel at full speed, I can return by dawn!
All romances end the same.
''I'll come back no matter what.''
Those words are the end of a romance,
and I will be abandoned.
And so, in the end, Harry never came back.
I risked my all for this romance.
But the romance ends...
Your program will soon be terminated.
Please input your final request.
I want to sing a song,
because I've had enough of romance.
Don't forget that my joy...
Is to continue to sing...
For your sake...
Inside every person's...
...the courage to go on living...
A single love...
Love...
I want to see him just once more!
Can you distinguish the individual to be met?
ESP4678...
Dew!
That is impossible.
I found one!
Mr. President!
It cannot be helped.
The planetary destruction plan
has been the wish of the Federation Government for generations.
We must succeed, and complete a stronger network.
I will take charge of the 7th Fleet.
Begin preparations for a full-scale attack immediately.
At the same time,
command the Grand Bench to investigate whether an attack on civilians would be lawful.
The Grand Bench has already replied that it is lawful.
Again!
Do you mean to divert the reply made to the former President to me?
No, Sir! It will be done immediately!
Your Excellency...
Yes?
Please let me be the Supreme Commander of the 7th Fleet.
I can't.
As you know,
Captain Ho, who was killed on Moad, was my fourteenth son.
I will avenge him with my own hands.
Sara!
Sara...
Androids don't have such a thing as a death that should be grieved.
Especially a girl like her,
an android set up for entertainment.
They aren't even given a personality.
The life support system used is less than middle-grade too,
and as the life program is terminated, it becomes scrap.
Sara had a personality!
You were just able to think of her that way.
She had thoughtfulness and kindness!
What made you think that was her program as an entertainer?
Sensitive reactions, especially towards males, are indispensable for entertainment purposes.
I could understand if you were some hooligan off the streets,
but to think even someone like you, who has been given higher intelligence, was fooled...
That's hilarious.
Water, Murato!
Yes, Madam Special Assistant.
Madam Special Assistant, I think you should rest for a while again.
How many times do I have to say it for you to understand?!
I'm not a Special Assistant Officer anymore!
Yes, Ma'am.
This Moad air doesn't suit me.
I'm sorry.
''The morning is here!
Today is another day,
let's all be sunny!''
''Health's the most important thing
How are you doing today?''
One, two, one, two! One, two, three, four!
Two, two, three, four!
Three, two, three, four!
Four, two, three, four!
Hey, Ahab! Good morning!
Actually, this morning, I had a bad dream!
A dream, eh?
It was bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded!
It was 5 to 2 and we were in the lead by 3 points, and that was when I was called on!
Pitching is Ahab, number 22.
Captain Ahab!
Well, here he is. The MVP of this century, Here he is! Ahab, Daimajin!
or should I say the ''best-of-this-century King of Saves?'' Here he is! Ahab, Daimajin!
or should I say the ''best-of-this-century King of Saves?'' Barba!
Zero runs given up, zero runs earned,
this is one of those so-called ''complete perfects!''
Yes, the Daimajin has entered!
How scary...
The great pitcher's mound in Space Stadium with the crowd going wild!
I'm on fire!
If I could hold down this last person, we would win the 7th Galaxy prelims,
and advance one step closer to the World Cup!
On top of that, the opponent's hitter was their number 4, Jacobs!
Ja...
Hey, hey!
Isn't Murato supposed to be busted up and unable to make a comeback?!
I told you this was a dream!
Oh, right, right.
If I gave him a fork ball on the inside corner at the belt,
it was sure to be an inside grounder, which would lower the curtain.
That one pitch would end it all!
However!
However, however, on the shores of However Beach,
words like ''break up'' and ''cut ties'' are gauche!
No, Honey, please don't leave me. I don't want you to leave me, Honey!
Ow! Oh no!
However, something terrible happened!
On do DO!
Priest Shiro! Priest Shiro!
All of a sudden, there was an indiscriminate full-scale attack.
See, it's bad, but sometimes, my dreams come true!
But you have a lot of misses as well!
Well, let's find Dew fast! We came out here because of that!
Barba Barba!
That's right! Barba Barba!
That's right!
It's just the Captain's dream! I can't take any more of those! That's right!
It's just the Captain's dream! I can't take any more of those! Maybe he actually wet his bed!
Lucky!
Yes?
If you're worried about your brother, you can go back before us.
Oh yeah, that might be a good idea!
You know, I can take Lucky, Marie and Mika all back if you'd like!
I'm not going back.
Me neither!
Neither am I!
Oh, really?
Why don't you go back?
What? No...
You want to go back, right?
That's not...
BARBA!
I'm begging you to forgive me, aren't I?!
All officers and men of the 7th Fleet, assemble.
We have received a message from the Commander in Chief.
All officers and men, assemble in front of central carrier 80.
The Grand Bench has replied to my question as follows:
Any person who has been charged with rebellion is no longer a citizen of the Federation.
They are looked upon as having forfeited all of their rights
and protections under the Federation Laws.
In other words,
to harm or kill them is not against Federation Law!
Gentlemen! At 1200 hours Moad time, I will permit all operations to commence!
This is so funny...
Model 201, who once ran from me, has now come looking for me.
On top of that, he has a big heap of trash he can't take care of!
This is my final fortress!
Get of here, you're an eyesore!
You were in the nerve center of the Federation Government.
You must know all about classified android manufacturing processes.
I want the know-how of the life program.
If Sara is a less than a middle-class android like you said,
then she shouldn't have such complicated circuitry.
As long as an android's bodily functions are unharmed,
I've heard that there is a possibility of reviving it since the life program is interchangeable.
I want to revive her life program!
I'd never tell you, even if I did know.
So it is possible.
It's impossible!
No, it is possible.
You just said so, right now.
Love... Do you mean to tell me you're in love?
With that piece of scrap metal?!
ESP4678-201...
DEW!
Priest Shiro!
Priest Shiro! Please, give us orders to return fire, quickly!
Do not rush! We must collect information first!
Get in touch with the groups of all areas!
All members stand by and be ready to retaliate!
Yes, Sir!
Hey! Now here's a good place!
White! It's too packed here! Go someplace else!
Someplace else!
Do people normally say things so mean?
Our target is all of Moad! Attack any and all living things!
Glory to the 7th Fleet!
Don't cry
I am always by your side, protecting you
It's a promise
Smile brightly, especially in hard times
Even the sadness that floats down
Will disappear into a beautiful, white memory
Don't forget that my joy
Is to continue to sing for your sake
Even if we become separated from each other
If you listen closely
Surely you will be able to hear my voice
