Omae ga kaze ni naru nara
If you're gonna be the wind,
おまえが風になるなら
Starting today, this is our home.
Isn't it a nice house?
Hateshinai sora ni naritai
I wanna be the endless sky.
果てしない 空になりたい
We'll have to buy a set of furniture.
What kind would you like, Ranka?
Hageshii amaoto ni tachisukumu toki wa
When you're stopped in your tracks by the harsh sound of rain,
激しい雨音に立ちすくむ時は
You just tell Big Brother, whatever you want.
It's already been ten years since then...
Guitar o kakinarashi kokoro o shizumeyou
I'll strum my guitar and calm your heart.
ギターをかき鳴らし心を鎮めよう
All right, give it a taste.
It's pineapple cake.
When I was given some the other day, it was unbelievably good,
so I asked for the recipe.
COME ON PEOPLE kanjite hoshii
COME ON PEOPLE! I want you to feel it.
COME ON PEOPLE 感じて欲しい
How is it?
Ima sugu wakaranakute ii kara
You don't have to understand right away.
今すぐ わからなくていいから
It's bad.
It's bad, Big Brother...
COME ON PEOPLE taiyou no you ni
COME ON PEOPLE! Just like the Sun,
COME ON PEOPLE 太陽のように
Ranka...
Did you...
...just now...
It's... bad...
It's not good at all, Big Brother!!!
Omae o kagayakaseru MY SOUL FOR YOU
I'll make you shine! MY SOUL FOR YOU!
おまえを輝かせる MY SOUL FOR YOU
It's not good at all, Big Brother!!!
Ranka...
I'm so glad...
COME ON PEOPLE
COME ON PEOPLE!
COME ON PEOPLE
That hurts, Big Brother.
Why do we... have to... do this crap like newbies...
Cuz you... brought Sheryl here, bastard!
On top of that... you spilled your guts about the way I taught you for bringing women in!
Still have strength to talk?
Then add five more laps!
Devil woman...
That's why men won't go near you.
You boys have guts, don't you?
Plus five more!
Repent your ignorance!
Sorry to make you babysit them.
Got a minute later?
That was hell!
So does Sheryl still seem... ya know, under the weather?
Well, I'm pretty sure there're no such words as "calm" or "rest" in her dictionary.
Oh...
...I see.
Sorry, wait long?
Who would wait for you?!
Obviously I just arrived!
So what is the matter?
I am busy!
Aren't you off duty today?
Is it something at college?
Y-
Yes...
But if it is truly important to you, I could skip just for today-
I wanted you to introduce me to someone.
Didn't you know an underclassman girl doing pharmacology or pathology or something?
Slender... Blonde...
Teresa-chan, was it?
I only introduced you once when we passed each other on the street... How could you remember that...
Well...
Come on, please Klan?
Here I thought you called me for a change...
YOU REALLY DO PREFER THOSE TYPES?!?!
Michel!
What are you doing all of a sudden?!
I...
Don't move.
At the very least, someone with an implant is involved.
That's for sure.
Hence, the anti-hacking measures, huh?
Which means, as I thought...
The most suspicious are our friends from Galaxy.
And Leon, too.
He's definitely involved somehow.
You sure?
Even if that's true, he's your fiancé, right?
He is ambitious, after all.
I used to think that would be nice...
Because it's unlike someone?
Sorry, a slip of the tongue.
Exactly!
Unlike a certain someone who's worthless when he's not flying a plane and who lives only for his sister.
Well, either way, the group's goal is a mystery.
Even if it's a fact that Ranka's song affects the Vajra,
why is it necessary to go to such lengths to use it?
With the current combo of missiles and anti-SS warheads, we can fight on equal terms with the Vajra.
And in the worst case scenario, we have the Reflex warheads.
And yet...
Why are they trying to make Ranka do this?
The keys to it are the Vajra and...
...the 117th Survey Convoy.
Hey, Cathy...
You still remember how to make that pineapple cake you taught me?
What's this about all of a sudden?
For some reason, I've been thinkin' a lot about old times. Y'know?
Jerk...
Tatta ikkyoku no Rock'n'Roll
Just one rock'n'roll song,
たった１曲のロックンロール
Everyone!
This is the revenge attempt for my first concert which we couldn't hold for various reasons.
This time, we'll do it for sure , so please be sure to come!
Ashita e hibiiteku
Resounding to tomorrow,
明日へ響いてく
Asayake no kanata e
Off to the distant glow of morning...
朝焼けの彼方へ
I'll protect you and your dream!
Omae o saegiru mono wa
Standing in your way...
おまえをさえぎるものは
Why do I have to come here like an adulterer?
I'm sorry.
The bodyguards have been camped out all day.
That bastard Brera?
Brera-san said something about going to work.
And my brother is out, too, so no one's here now.
So...
I-I didn't mean... um, anything naughty by that.
I trust you, Alto-kun.
Of course! You'd better!
Y-You're right. Oh gosh, what's wrong with me...
Oh yeah! Tea!
You prefer coffee, right?
Just wait.
Geez, she's going a mile a minute...
Don't look at my things too much!
Whoa, the Commander's young ...
Ai-kun?
What the heck is that thing?
Aimo...
Ai-kun is his name.
I think he was brought from some planet, but...
Don't come to me if you get found out and scolded...
So what'd you want to talk about?
What do you think?
You mean that experiment?
Yeah.
Everyone in the squad's happy, cuz it'll make the fights easier.
What about you, Alto-kun?
The will to rise and expand are fundamental desires of living creatures...
...and when there are two or more species wishing for that...
...competition and conflict are born between them.
It's the same now.
Will it be them or us who survive...
That's probably the precipice we're standing on.
If so...
Then it's all right?
At least, that's what I think.
All right!
If my song can save even a few people, that's best, right?
I'll sing.
For all I'm worth!
And I'll do my best at the concert tomorrow!
Yeah, this time I'll actually go and watch.
Yeah!
You'd better!
Fold quartz...
The magical stone produced only within the Vajra body which makes the impossible possible.
Its power is...
No, I needn't explain it to you at this point,
do I, Luca Angelloni-kun?
Is this the wish of Mr. Birla...
...who is also your sponsor?
What makes you say that?
Mr. Birla is a man who originally made his name in the shipping business.
SMS originated as an escort unit for that, after all.
If such a gentleman were to obtain this, there could only be one thing on his mind.
Go on.
To monopolize communications and transportation of goods on a pan-galactic level.
That would essentially...
...amount to ruling the galaxy.
I'd expect no less from the heir to L.A.I.
You're on the right track.
But unfortunately, you're mistaken.
I am currently acting with different motives from the gentleman.
We are looking even further ahead than that, Luca Angelloni.
"We"?
The destination of the Vajra carcasses is the Exobiological Research Center on Island-3.
Entry is being checked extremely strictly of late.
Guess this is it.
Ozma Lee.
If you move one step from there, I will remove you by force.
I dare you to try!
What are you bastards planning?
Why are you using Ranka's song... using her dream as a tool?
Because it's necessary.
For what?
To protect her.
It's not like eleven years ago!
We can protect Ranka well enough with our own strength now!
For now, that is.
For now... you say?
You...
Yeah.
The Vajra have come.
The deployment order goes for you too.
What? Really?
Yes, I still can't officially hire you, but...
Yup, you've got potential.
As a member of the project, let's protect Ranka-san together.
Yes, ma'am!
It can't be true...
I've really come this far...
I'll do my best.
So watch me, Big Brother.
Delta-1 to all craft.
The enemy is heading directly for the Frontier Convoy from bearing 12-2.
Stop them at current position.
Furthermore, preventing contact with the convoy is priority one, so you are authorized to use Reflex weaponry.
So Ranka-san's not coming this time...
It probably means the Government's propaganda is taking priority.
It's very political.
Awww.
Ozma...
Skull-1 to all craft:
We're gonna stop them here at all costs.
Got that?!
Understood!
Skull-3, you listening?!
Y-Yes, sir!
Understood.
You're done with experimenting?
Breaking-in requires a carrot and a stick.
This time, the carrot is the priority, right?
You are a scary one.
Enemy Vajra squadron coming!
Initiate attack!
Time to impact,
3...
2...
1...
It didn't work!
The Reflex weaponry?!
Skin-shedding?!
Dammit!
Why...
What the hell's going on?!
Nothing's working!
Then it's true...
One Vajra unit approaching this ship at high speed!
Anti-air counterattack!
Direct hit incoming!
Ozma!
You son of a bitch!!!
It worked!
Oh yeah, the heavy particle beam!
The present has become the past.
Your attacks will no longer work.
What?!
The Vajra are a constantly evolving lifeform.
Information on the damage to each individual is accumulated by the entire swarm in the blink of an eye...
...and is fed back into new individuals.
That's...
In other words, if they are attacked repeatedly enough, eventually that attack method...
...will become ineffective.
What a lifeform...
One day, this beam cannon will probably stop working, too.
That is why we need the song!
We need her voice!
So...
So the hell what?!
If Reflex weaponry are useless, then missiles.
If missiles are useless, then guns.
If that's useless...
If it comes down to fists or teeth or nails,
as long as a shred of will to fight remains,
I'LL FIGHT!
WATCH ME FIGHT!

What's a man for if he can't protect his little sister and the woman he loves!?
He's so rock'n'roll.
Country, you mean.

You used to be a crybaby, but now you're so...
Kokoro ga hikari no ya o hanatsu
With our hearts shooting out arrows of light.
心が光の矢を放つ
Say, Ozma, why don't you stop by on your way home?
I tried making a pineapple cake.
It's been a long time, so I'm not sure about it, but...
You don't need me anymore, do you...
Ozma?
No...
Ozma?
OZMA!!!
But if he did die, it would've been the most moving scene ever.
Seriously.
That jerk.
Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!
I was really worried, you know, Bro!
I told you.
I can't die.
Want some?
I want one you made.
You really are still a kid.
Make one for me when you get out, okay?
Promise?
Sure.
It's a promise.
For sure?
Yup.
You still haven't learned not to sneak out of bed?
There's a lot we have to talk about, isn't there, Grace?
The Ultra-Long Distance Fold Project is set in motion.
Ranka sings of hope.
A cruel fact is thrust upon Sheryl.
Next time,
Fold Fame.
Song of Tears, echo throughout the Galaxy.
