THE MYSTERIOUS IRRESPONSIBLE MAN
Will you do Noriko a favor?
Put your talents to good use!
The United Planets Space Force is looking for energetic people!
Defenders of universal peace and the green hills of home.
I think people like that are wonderful...
Young People! The UPSF is Waiting for You!
We're waiting for you!
Gentlemen! If we stand by and allow the Raalgon Empire...
...to continue its military build-up...
...we will cede dominion of the galactic frontier to our enemies!
Reports say the new Raalgon empress is young...
...and that the Imperial Forces are more interested in...
...internal power struggles than in war!
An army without a firm chain of command is nothing but a mob!
Moreover, our troops' morale is high, and with our...
...talented commanders, seasoned fighters, and modern weaponry...
...we can smash them easily!
Therefore, I say we should commit our entire force...
...to crushing the Raalgon Empire in one decisive attack!
That is my conclusion. Would Admiral Mifune, commander of...
...the outer galactic fleet, give us his opinion?
Chief of Staff Fuji raises some good points.
Were we to launch a preemptive strike, I've no doubt that...
...our outer fleet would destroy 40% of the Raalgon forces in one month.
I salute the great Admiral Mifune. So, you agree with my plan?
No.
I'm against it!
What?!
The Raalgon Empire must not be underestimated!
We could hold our own against them for one year.
Should the war extend beyond that, our losses would rise and their...
...superior arms production capacity would turn the tide against us.
And I don't believe the Raalgon Empire can be beaten quickly!
Moreover, many in the Empire believe that we were behind...
...the recent death of their former emperor.
Meaning that their desire for vengeance will...
...give the Imperial Forces even higher morale than we have!
And what if the enemy strikes first?!
Don't worry. My fleet can move out at any time!
In any case, we've still time to see what the new empress'...
...policies will be before committing to a first strike.
There is no doubt that the death of His Highness Goza the 15th...
...was a plot of the United Planets Space Force.
Highness, if I may be so bold, the only way the honor of...
...the Holy Raalgon Empire can be preserved...
...is for you to immediately demonstrate your power.
Wang...
There is no way we can avoid war?
None! Highness, your decision!
Give the order, and I shall endeavor to carry out...
...Your Highness' wishes to the best of my abilities.
Your decision, Highness!
We're waiting for you!
YOU WHAT?! Run that by me again!
I said, because I want an easy life.
That's really the reason you want to join...
...the glorious United Planets Space Force?!
Yup.
Umm, Just... Just...
Justy Ueki Tylor, age twenty.
Well, Mr. Tylor, just how is life in the military "easy"?
Well, think about it!
When you join the military... All your food is FREE!
Your uniform and daily necessities are ALL free!
No worries about paying rent.
And you can get licensed in almost any field without a problem!
Besides that, if I get assigned to a space cruiser...
...I can sleep all day in a cryo- capsule till we get to the front.
And if I get a desk job, well, there's nothing easier than that!
Well? Am I wrong?
Do you even KNOW what the Space Force is for?!
Hm, well... Fighting wars, of course. Fighting wars.
Your Excellency.
And would you PLEASE stop calling me Your Excellency?!
And after that, when I retire, I'll live in luxury on my pension.
Oh, I just can't wait! Right?
The thought's never entered your head...
...that you might get killed in a battle, has it?
Don't you know the soldier on the front line may have to...
...sacrifice himself or his family to do his duty for his country?
Being in the Force isn't the easy life you think it is!
Now, look...
I can see that you have those special eyes that can find...
...the hidden talents in the applicants who come to you.
Now, suppose I make it in and begin a spectacular rise through the ranks?
Doubtful.
Oh, no, you never know what may happen in a war.
Just hear me out, Your Excellency.
So, I keep on rising and rising till, before I know it...
...I'm the captain of a spaceship.
You mean become a commander?
Why stop at commander? Let's say I become a fleet admiral!
All of my historic exploits wouldn't have happened...
...had it not been for one man's keen powers of observation.
That man, Your Excellency, is you.
Yes! You, the man who spotted Admiral Tylor's talents when...
...he was a faceless nobody, would be in the spotlight, right?
Once that happened, the Space Force high command wouldn't forget you.
You'd be set for life! You lucky guy!
You're exaggerating...
And then, in my later years, when I write my memoirs...
...on page one I will write this:
"Behind the brilliant, glorious life I've led is a chief petty officer."
"I therefore dedicate these memoirs to him, His Excellency the CPO."
The babes'll be all over you! You'll be a hit with the media!
You'll be famous!
Oh, you lucky guy! I wish I could be you!
Better draw the line on TV appearances...
You still don't understand?!
No, I do not! You still don't understand?!
No, I do not!
To underestimate the enemy and commit our...
...main fleet to a head-on attack is sheer stupidity!
The new empress may be young...
...but we still don't know what her capacities are!
Your cowardly words are an embarrassment to the UPSF!
WHAT?!
You son of a! How dare you insult me!
Well, well. Has old age given the great warrior feet of clay?
What are you doing?! You think you can stab me, the Chief of Staff?!
What's wrong? Do you just swing that sword around for show?!
Highness, your decision!
Highness!
Very well, then!
I, Goza the 16th, Empress of the Holy Raalgon Empire...
...now command all of you!
In my name, our empire shall avenge our fallen emperor...
...and smash the cowardly UPSF with the hammer of justice!
Your Imperial Highness! A wise decision!
All shall be done as Your Highness desires!
Damn you, Wang! To gain control of our forces...
...you've lit the flame of vengeance in Her Highness' heart!
Who are you?!
You saw, didn't you?!
Yes, I saw. My deepest condolences for your loss, Highness.
What are you saying?! I am Goza the 16th!
Empress of the Holy Raalgon Empire!
The Empress' pride would never allow her to cry...
...even over the loss of her parents!
What you saw was not real.
I command you to strike it from your mind.
No, tears of grief hold no shame, even for an empress.
If I may be so bold, I'm relieved to see...
...that Your Highness is still a normal girl.
How dare you! Watch your tongue!
For one of my subjects to see me like this!
Not only are you strong-willed...
...but you also carry tender feelings in your heart.
What?
For that reason...
...your subjects will risk their lives for you!
So long as Your Highness has those tears to shed...
...we in the Imperial Forces will gladly die for you!
What is your name?
Tell me your name!
Holy Raalgon Empire 27th galactic frontier division.
66th special detached fleet.
Captain of the cruiser Doroume. Ru Baraba Dom, Your Highness.
Dom, eh? So, a mere cruiser captain feels he can speak so frankly to me?
I will remember your name.
Ah, Dom. There you are.
Admiral Lonawer.
I've been looking for you. Your ship's received orders.
Orders for my ship, sir?
That devil Wang's wasted no time...
...using his position as prime minister to start issuing commands.
I see. So, what are they?
Well, Dom, you see...
Navigation route three, clear!
Flow pressure, nominal! Separation film, nominal!
Cruiser Doroume, commence separation!
Activate primary energy sphere!
Oh, man...
If I make it in, I'd better get an easy ship's command...
...or a nice, boring desk job in the pension department.
Hey! Now what's going on?!
Psychological evaluation.
Justy Ueki Tylor. Male. Age twenty. Application E-7.
Is this information correct?
This really sucks!
I hate this! Why do I have to be crammed in here...
...talking to some ugly guy?
Ugly guy?
For God's sake, back off a little!
I've never had an applicant talk to me like that!
Go to hell!
I'll take over.
Oh, yes! This is more like it!
If they'd sent you out in the first place, I'd have been a lot happier!
You are Justy Ueki Tylor. Age twenty. Male. Application E-7.
Is this information correct?
Yes, yes. Totally correct. So, what's your name?
I'm a high-level virtual humanoid running on...
...a state of the art computer for the purpose of...
...making it easier for applicants to answer the test questions.
For that reason, I have no personal name.
I should point out to you that this test evaluates...
...both your behavior and your answers to the questions.
So, answer to the best of... Is there something wrong?
I know! Betty's a good name!
That's your name from now on.
Betty?
Yeah. Betty. Isn't it a nice name?
My name is Betty...
Uh, anyway, let's begin the test.
Question one: You are on a desert island.
There is one enemy soldier on the island as well.
Neither of you has a weapon. What do you do?
Mr. Tylor, please answer!
Umm, well...
Mr. Tylor, your attitude is part of the test as well!
Mr. Tylor, answer the question!
I know! It's your glasses! They just aren't you!
Uncodable response. That is not an answer to the question.
Oh, don't get mad.
Those glasses were distracting me and I forgot the question.
C'mon, let's see how you look without them, Betty dear!
Stop that! Mr. Tylor, please give them back!
See, you're even prettier... Stop that! Mr. Tylor, please give them back!
See, you're even prettier... Please! Give them back! Tylor!
...without those glasses. Please! Give them back! Tylor!
It's incredible!
Mr. Tylor, you're a flatterer.
It's not flattery! You were lovely before, when you were angry...
...but you're just fabulous like this, Betty.
Mr. Tylor, won't you answer the questions seriously now?
Sure, sure. Ask me anything.
Question two: You are...
Oh, no! Please don't look at me like that!
Those pretty round eyes. That cute little nose.
Those adorable ears.
Oh, stop it, Mr. Tylor. You still haven't answered the question.
I know the answer without your even asking me!
If you were a real woman, the men of the world...
...would never leave you alone! That is my answer!
Mr. Tylor, please! What are you saying?
Meaning unclear. I don't understand.
No, I'm sure you can understand.
You don't just have looks. You're smart, too.
Meaning unclear! But I've never met anyone like you, Tylor!
Trouble! Get us access on another mainframe!
Get emergency access to the one in General Staff HQ!
This is no time to be fighting with honor and compassion!
Oh, please! No more!
Shut up! I won't be quiet after what you called me!
Please, stop! Don't say any more!
I won't shut up! The future of the Space Force depends on this!
No, I don't understand. Is that your answer?
Or are the two of us in love?
What the hell was that?! Another of your tricks?!
You idiot!
Please, answer me! Answer the question!
But you haven't asked me the second question yet.
Never mind the test! Is this infatuation? Is this love?!
Where am I? Who am I?
Uh, that's easy for you to ask, but...
You big meany! If you don't answer me, I'll tickle you!
Hey! Stop it! Stop! Cut it out!
Oh, playing rough, huh? All right, it's my turn!
Stop! l... I'm very delicate!
l... l... Not there! Oh!
No, if you do that, I'll! I'll!!!
I don't know what's happening anymore! Stop, please!
An enemy attack, maybe?
I don't think so...
Tylor! Tylor, where did you go?!
Tylor, where are you?! Answer me, Tylor! Please, where are you?!
Uh-oh, I think I broke it.
My heart is broken. It hurts so much!
You have to take responsibility, Tylor!
Responsibility?!
Uh, not my fault!
Tylor, are you?!
You've broken my heart and now you're running away?!
That's horrible! Irresponsible!
I can't forgive you! I can't!
You're the enemy of all women! No, the enemy of all mankind!
Alert! The A.I. control unit has exploded! System off-line!
What the hell's happening?!
The enemy! The enemy of all mankind!
Don't panic! Cut out all circuits and switch to manual!
Aye, sir!
That's a Raalgon Empire high-speed cruiser!
They've broken through our early-warning sector!
This all must be a Raalgon plot to confuse us!
Apparently our enemies got impatient...
...while you were overcome with cowardice!
I'm sure we'll rout the Empire without any problem.
Right, Admiral Mifune?
Captain Dom!
A UPSF interceptor fleet has sighted us and is closing rapidly.
So beautiful...
The universe is far too beautiful to be soiled by the blood...
...of the cowardly United Planets Space Force.
War! War! It's the Raalgon!
Where is he?! Where'd that saboteur go?!
Oh, Your Excellency! It's me, Tylor!
You? You're still alive? You lucky guy!
A Raalgon spy snuck in here and blew up the A.I. system!
A spy? Wow. So, what's gonna happen to me?
Relax. You're in!
A war's just started! You think we care about aptitude tests now?!
Just sign the form on my desk and you're all set.
I'm gonna go kill me that spy! See you!
Tylor!
Yes, sir?
If you survive, make sure you write those memoirs!
Yes, sir! Just leave this war to me!
We're waiting for you!
