Three, three, two, two!
Overcoming the Moad Desert
The bus goes on and on raising a cloud of dust
Hit the gas!
Drive on!
It is hot as crap!
So hot, so hot, we are panting from the heat!
The bus is now headed for the place where I've promised to meet my big brother, So hot, so hot, we are panting from the heat!
The Lasala Train Station. So hot, so hot, we are panting from the heat!
The Lasala Train Station.
Besides Doc's bad tooth starting to hurt a little bit,
and White Hat's stock of hair-growth medicine running out,
there seems to be no problems at the moment.
Oh, I want a shampoo!
Hey, everyone! Do you want to know what I was dreaming about just now?
It was the bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded!
To save the team from such a tight squeeze, the man who stepped up to the mound was
the Great Genie of the Space League!
Pitcher Ahab!
He didn't let those darn hot, glaring lights bother him!
His signature throw, of course, was his Hopscotch Forkball!
Who do you think the other team had at bat? Eh, Barba?
Dunno!
Doc! You would know, right?
Dunno!
Yes! It was the Dunno batting lineup that I was up against!
I must admit, the opposing team put some thought into this.
They put six of their pinch hitters out there at the same time!
In that heat too!
Naturally, my forkball was brilliantly executed.
Hop, hop,
hophophophop,
HOP!
Damn!
DUNNO
Barba?!
DUNNO
All was well up till then, but...
But you went too far, Speed King!
What did I do?!
You, you've always been so cheap!
Alley oop!
It's no use!
Rotten pitcher! Go back to King Kuron!
You are so hopeless.
I've never been so humiliated before!
You had better be sorry, Speed King!
How about we have dinner now?
Good idea.
Episode 13 Easy Rider
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
Red shoes, cha-cha, I wear them, ba-ba-da-ba...
Ba-doo-da-da-doo...
Why oh why would things go that way?
But you know, Captain,
the artificial foods we took from Lady Whisker are going to last us two, three more days tops!
You'd better come up with something soon!
Well, don't be so worried!
When we meet up with Lucky's crew at Lasala Station or whatever, everything will be okay.
They'll take care of the rest somehow.
Hey, Lucky, isn't that right?
Yes, of course!
If we, the Moad Civilian Movement, didn't have any food it wouldn't be much of a battle.
Hey, sorry for the wait!
Today is my special, garlic-flavored sautéed curry!
Kuron-style bongole moccoshi!
Moccoshi?
Moccoshi!
By the way, Lucky, I have yet to see one tree with leaves on it.
Either on the beach or inland, all I've seen is the occasional dead tree.
Have all the large trees here on Moad died?
It looks like the aftermath of some disaster.
Come to think of it, I have yet to see one small animal.
What, what? Does that mean all animals have died off too?
Hey! Just what are you eating on this planet, then?!
I'll explain those things in due course.
Don't tell me you've brought us to a planet with no food!
What's your problem?!
Bullying Lucky, no good.
Shut up!
Unlike you, we can't just eat anything!
As a chef, I have a responsibility to take care of everyone's diet!
Lucky! You explain this right now!
Yes, well...
Bullying, stop!
Now you've done it!
BARBA!
STOP IT, YOU MORONS!
Lucky said he'd explain it all in due course, didn't he?
But we don't want "in due course," we want "now."
Lucky said it!
If Lucky says in due course, then it's going to be in due course!
You should know the difference between now and in due course,
you numbskull!
Yeah, yeah, after all, I'm just a numbskull!
Numbskull! Dumb-skull! Dum-dum!
I know, I know, I don't amount to anything!
I shouldn't have been born! I'm sorry!
Big brother, because of the intense heat of Moad,
everyone has become very irritable and no mistake.
Wha?!
You're being loud as heck!
Can't you be a bit quieter?!
Sheesh! Can't even take a nap. I-can-not!
Upsey daisy...
Can't breathe... Help me...
Hey, Kiyoshi, it's all right now. Let him go.
Hey, what's this? Quite a feast you got going on here.
This one... Could I have one of these?
Huh? Sure, we don't mind.
Well then, thanks.
Here, Kiyoshi. It's artificial meat!
You need to eat and build up your energy sometimes too.
Big brother!
Thanks, sorry to get in your way.
Big brother! I've finally found him!
Wait! Old Koba!
Old Koba, wait a minute!
You know him, Lucky?
He was at the same mine as me!
Old Koba!
My brother... My brother is worried about you, Old Koba!
Tell Shiro to mind his own business and forget about me.
I want to take it easy.
But...
Wow! Nice bike!
Why don't you come with us?
We're going to meet up with my brother's group!
You see, I'm a selfish person.
I just can't seem to get along with other people to accomplish things.
Where do you live now?! Tell me that!
Moad! All of Moad is my house.
Say, Sachiko, I think you're at the age where you can start putting on some make-up, eh?
You perverted old coot!
I'll tell you the truth.
Fifteen years ago, as a result of pollution, Moad took a severe hit.
Oil was being mined here for nearly a hundred years,
and because of the refining process
the smoke that was produced covered this entire planet
and a huge amount of acid rain poured down continuously for nearly half a year.
The severity of the contamination affected not only the plants,
but it killed off almost all of the animals in the forest and the sea.
They say for this planet to be clean again, it will take at least another hundred years.
But even still, this is our planet!
There's no way we can abandon it!
We do have enough food, even if just barely.
At our headquarters, we have stored food!
What do you mean by just barely?
Enough for a little less than nine months.
Unbelievable!
What if you do survive the bomb detonation plan set for nine months from now?
What then?
The planet would be saved, but the people would starve to death!
I don't know about the future...
Don't know?!
I don't know, but I do know we have to try really hard right now!
Say! Come to think of it, I saw flowers!
On the mountain road! It was a beautiful red flower!
Oh, that Poisy flower was the only flower that survived the acid rain.
But its toxicity is so strong, we can't use it as food.
No, it wasn't only flowers. I saw birds.
What?
By the sea, there were a whole lot of black birds flying around.
Those are...
Those are birds of death!
Due to the pollution of the sea, massive amounts of fish died
and even now the carcasses still drift on the current and float to the surface.
They live by feeding off of those.
But even those birds,
we don't know how many years they have left to live.
So you're saying that if the carcasses run out it's the end?
Well, they sound like dead meat to me.
It is meet that they should meet their end in such a foul fashion!
Ahab, say...
Maybe next time.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hello there.
Here, come, don't!
Oh, what a gloomy planet this is! Man!
We've discovered a man and a dog.
We await for directions from headquarters.
Don't strain yourself, Kiyoshi. Our opponents are small fry.
The man is a former worker at the sixteenth mining area.
Koba Garcia, age 67.
We've attempted to capture him three times in the past,
but all attempts failed.
What was the cause of those failures?
He possesses multiple weapons, and has resisted violently.
There was a risk of our using too much force and taking his life, so we aborted.
It is a general rule that we capture them alive.
Then we request backup.
Stand by.
I will obtain permission from the Commander.
What's wrong? Come on and attack me already!
There's a request from ship number three, Sir.
They're requesting backup immediately.
What about the others?
Sir?
The ones who are accompanying Shiro's sister.
We are continuing surveillance of them.
So there are no notable changes in their movement?
Correct, Sir.
They will meet with Shiro for sure.
That's our chance.
For the first time,
we will be able to identify the exact location of the hideout of the civilian movement.
Yes, Sir.
I will grant ship number three's request.
Yes, Sir!
Red shoes, I wear them and they turn into white shoes
Nostrils of a foreign guy, why, why, oh why?
Or something like that...
After all, I'm just an irresponsible guy
I leave loose ends hanging and my jobs are slapdash
Even when I wear red shoes they're white!
Say...
Yeah, yeah!
Why do frogs eat each other even if they're married?
Isn't that up to the frogs?
Huh, I guess so...
What the...
Hey, keep it down, you bastards!
Oh no!
Someone's about to be caught again!
They're going to get caught and be forced to emigrate!
By that big-bellied airplane?
That's a fighter plane specifically used for capturing citizens.
We call it the Hit-and-Snatch!
It's taken many of my comrades!
Hop, hop, hop!
Well then, what do you want do, everyone?
Hit-and-Snatch is a pretty repulsive name, huh?
Kidnapper, defeat. This...
Even graduate students know!
They know!
THEY KNOW!
There you have it. What do you want to do, Lucky?
Sheesh! You always want to take detours.
Heh, you suck!
This is the best, Kiyoshi!
Bum bada dee dum da dum!
Yay!
Huh?
Hey, hey, it's that weird dog and the old man!
Bottom of the ninth!
Pinch hitter hits, and it's a home run!
See you! We'll be back later.
Barba!
Well, they're all pros at fighting.
You can't go wrong by leaving it to them.
Who asked you for help?
True, we weren't asked.
What, Sir?
Change the strategy.
Our ultimate goal remains deporting everyone from this planet alive.
If men are pushed into a corner, they sometimes choose death.
Changing strategy.
Switching to application of Article Five.
Heh! Pathetic!
Yeah, you better run, you bastards!
Bastards! Bastards! Bastards!
Come on, Old Koba.
I don't like persistent people, Sachiko.
But you never know when you'll be attacked like you were this time!
I'm used to it. It happens all the time.
It's like recreation for me.
Oops, excuse me.
Hey, Old Man, could you tell me something?
I totally understand how you want to live freely, doing as your heart desires.
But no matter what you say, there's only nine months left.
If this planet disappears, what good would freedom be?
How about you join Lucky... I mean, Sachiko?
Hey, Young Man.
Yeah?
Freedom is different for everybody, don't you think?
You can win the freedom you believe in.
Freedom with a long future ahead.
Old Man!
My freedom has a bit shorter future, you see.
I worked in the mines for fifty years, and my body is all beat up,
just like this planet.
Two years ago, my doctor told me that I had half a year left to live.
That time still hasn't come yet.
Old Man...
Since I was young, I've loved motorcycles.
For me, that's all my freedom is.
And I've finally become an easy rider at this ridiculous age!
Sachiko...
Yes, Sir!
Let me give you this.
It's just a rock.
But it might contain hope for your future.
Huh?
See you.
Koba Garcia...
You have been designated for the application of Article Five.
In other words, your refusal of multiple emigration orders
were all violations of the Planetary Development Laws.
You are now officially a criminal.
This is the card with your warrant.
It's Murato!
He's the one that was sent here from the Federation Government,
the Commander in Chief of compulsory emigration.
He's the commander of the Moad Garrison, the android Murato!
So you're Murato? We finally meet.
Take Koba Garcia into custody.
I was always thinking about what I was going to take with me to my crew,
but I've finally found you.
Kiyoshi, get off of the bike!
Kiyoshi! That time has come!
OLD MAN!
Suspect deceased, the warrant card is now void.
Hey, Lucky.
You know that rock the old man left for you?
Like the old man said, it might be filled with hope for the future.
Here...
Look closely at the cracks here.
It's moss! There's moss growing on here! And it's fresh!
That old man left some pretty clever last words.
"Moad isn't dead. It's still living on."
"In fact, things are just beginning." That's what he's saying.
Hey, everyone, wake up!
We have hope! Moad still has some hope!
Hey! See? Look at it!
What are you talking about? Hey! See? Look at it!
What are you talking about? Shut up.
What?! Kiyoshi? What about Kiyoshi?
Come on, look! Look!
