It's amazing!
After taking a second look, it's pretty cool, isn't it.
So, what are we going to name the boat?
That's right. A name...
It's obvious, isn't it?
"The Young Admiral of Blood"! There's no other choice.
How about "Hell Diver"?
Oh, that sounds cool!
Say, we could name it "Thetis" after one of the sea nymphs.
Yeah, that seems to fit.
Hey! Don't ignore me!
But...
So, little Maia thinks she can stand up to me?
But... it's such a bizarre name...
You should look people in the eye when you speak to them.
Finished!
"Yomoji"?
It's pronounced "Gi", idiot.
Oh shut up! It's just a small mistake.
Shizuka, about that name...
Sure. In terms of its color and shape...
this boat looks like a Yomogi rice dumpling doesn't it?
That's why I named it "The Yomogi-1".
Well...
Out of the way!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
We've already decided to call it "The Young Admiral of Blood".
That's a strange name. I don't like it!
What are you talking about?!
There's nothing strange about it! It sounds cool. Umm...
There's nothing strange about it! It sounds cool. Shizuka's the only one who understands the submarine's systems, so it's fine.
It's not cool at all. Shizuka's the only one who understands the submarine's systems, so it's fine.
Well, "Yomogi" is even less cool. Shizuka's the only one who understands the submarine's systems, so it's fine.
We're calling it "The Young Admiral of Blood".
I can't stand that name.
I don't want to operate "The Young Admiral of Blood."
What are you saying?
You don't get it! Hey, get down off of there.
Yu.
If you don't come down here, I'll go up there...
Episode 14 The Old Kook and the Sea
Oh, my. We can't ignore the cost of maintaining it.
The monthly total for fuel, equipment, parts, and various other things...
comes out to roughly three times the amount we spend on renting this office.
Three times?!
Looks like the submarine is actually a financial drain.
So, we should look for jobs where we can leverage it.
All right! Guess we'll have to find some business.
Maia, hurry up and get ready!
OK!
Hey.
What do we do abut her?
It'll only be more trouble if we wake her up. Just let her be.
Oh, I see...
Well, if you ever have a job involving deep sea work...
we hope that you'll consider us.
All right. Thank you for your time.
So how did it go, everyone?
No such luck.
The Ocean Agency is in charge of most of the deep sea work.
Looks like we're going to have a pretty hard time breaking into the market.
Maia may be our only hope.
Is there anyone in need of deep sea services?
Our latest submarine at Nereids...
can take on any type of deep sea related business.
Will you really take on anything?
How much do you charge?
Really? You're doing this for your grandpa?
You're very kind, Kota.
So tell me, what is your grandpa like?
Bastards! How dare you disrespect the ocean!
Are you babbling about the Sea Devil again?
What do you mean "again"?
The Sea Devil exists. I saw him with my own eyes.
Just forget about him. Let's go.
Hey! Don't run away!
There really is a Sea Devil! Come here. I'll tell you all about him!
That man's a real character.
There really is a Sea Devil! Come here. I'll tell you all about him!
That man is my grandpa.
Huh?
Sea Devil?
That's what I call him.
Ever since then, Grandpa's been fishing the deep seas...
and chasing the Sea Devil while he's out there.
I'll never forget it. It happened forty years ago...
I was fishing the deep seas, like I always do.
What the...?
Um...
These wounds are from back then.
I definitely saw him.
An outrageous monster. His body was easily over ten meters...
and his tail was so long I couldn't tell where it ended.
Man's claim to have mastered the ocean...
is nothing but a sign of arrogance.
That's a lesson I've been taught all too well.
But an enormous creature like that...
The Sea Devil exists!
And until I avenge these wounds...
Grandpa!
Grandpa, are you OK? Where's your medicine?
Don't mind me! This is nothing.
Grandpa's got a bad heart.
His doctor told him to give up hard work like deep sea fishing.
But he said he won't stop until he kills the Sea Devil.
I'm worried.
If he keeps on searching for this Sea Devil, which may not exist...
eventually he's going to...
What about your mother and father?
They've given up on him.
Grandpa's incredibly stubborn.
I want to get him to stop diving.
That's why...
So, in order to get the old man to give up...
We'll disguise the Yomogi-1 as the Sea Devil...
and intentionally let the old man force us to withdraw.
Yes. As Nereids initial deep sea business venture, this will be a...
You idiot! We're not going to make any money off a damn kid!
That's why I've arranged for us to get a bit of compensation by having...
Nereids fill the assistant navigator position...
for the Sea Devil extermination mission.
A bit is no good!
Please wait!
What?
Right now, we must prove ourselves.
We should accept the job Maia brought to us...
even if it means we have to take a loss this time.
Shizuka!
And we should take the Yomogi-1 out to sea immediately.
You just want to ride in the submarine.
That's another way of putting it.
Well, if you consider it to be a trial run as well...
I suppose we've got nothing to lose by taking the job.
Rena, thank you so much!
It's just barely strong enough.
But since the most that a small deep sea fishing submarine can do...
is fire harpoons, I think we should be OK.
Making our defeat look natural may be the hard part.
What if we attached some horns and stuff?
The Sea Devil has those things?
We just want something similar enough to show up on his radar.
And since that's the case, why not have some fun with it?
You're right.
All right, I'll draw the eyeballs!
I put the tail on, and now it looks like the Sea Devil himself.
You know what the real one looks like?
Of course not.
Well, the rest is up to Maia.
I sure hope he goes for it.
It's all in the planning.
We've got an excellent staff, so don't worry.
Hey!
You're hired to be my navigator, aren't you?
You can at least help with the final inspection!
Yes!
I don't know about this...
Instruments, all green. Energy tank, 45% .
Oxygen generator is in perfect condition.
Starting the engine!
We're on our way!
Down trim, 20 degrees. Submerging.
This is kind of exciting.
Why did we have to bring you along?
It's the submarine's maiden voyage.
Since I'm the leader, how could I not be here?
You're just a waste of air.
You're the one who's a waste of air.
Hey, are you sure you'll be all right?
We'll be fine! I'm sure your grandpa will come back satisfied.
Trust me, Kota.
Hey! We're leaving port! Hurry up and take your post!
All right!
Well, I'll see you later.
See you!
I'm counting on you, Maia!
Relax! There's nothing to worry about!
Please don't let him find out.
The camouflaged Yomogi-1 will station itself at the same point...
where the Sea Devil appeared forty years ago.
We'll arrive there shortly after.
After that, the Ahab will fire its harpoons...
and the Yomogi-1 will pretend to perish.
What are you muttering about?
Well, it's nothing.
We're about to head for the deep sea.
I'm counting on your navigation skills.
Yes!
Prepare to submerge!
Depth, 50! Nothing wrong with the hull.
Switching over the lights.
What's the matter?
You look pale. Are you sick?
No... l'm fine.
Really? Let's hope so.
Since I've got a navigator today...
why don't we take a little detour and search elsewhere?
But, that's not part of the plan.
Plan?
No, I mean...
well you know, grandpa...
You have no right to call me "grandpa"!
You're right. But I never asked you your name.
It's Yasuo Nakamura.
You're probably thinking...
"what an ordinary name for a man like him."
I wasn't thinking that!
More importantly, we should head for the spot...
where you first encountered the Sea Devil.
I've searched there many times up 'til now...
and haven't come across so much as a shadow.
So I'm altering my approach and expanding my range.
But that's...
So, our first deep sea job is to sit here and wait to be attacked.
This is pretty lame.
Twenty-eight miles to the destination.
We're a bit behind schedule.
The camouflage could come off if we go at top speed.
And the outside attachments we threw together...
are just barely able to withstand the water pressure.
If we bump into him, it'll ruin everything.
Who cares about that stuff? Let's go! Let's go!
No!
- Yeah! - Gloria!
Stop it Gloria!
Go! Go! Go!
Yu!
There's nothing around here.
That's right, Yasuo! Let's go to the spot you usually go to.
No. Let's check out another place.
But that's...
We've arrived at the meeting point.
What about the Ahab?
Um...
I don't see it anywhere.
That's strange. They should be here by now...
What was that?
It's a...
The camouflage is coming off!
It's because of our reckless driving.
Yeah.
What? It's all my fault?
Yes, it's my fault!
Take responsibility.
What?
Damn. Why do I have to do this?
Gloria, are you all right?
You want me to put the pieces back on that fell off, right?
Very good. Please carry on.
Gotta work fast, the old man's coming.
Gloria, they're here!
Gloria, hurry!
You don't have to tell me. I'm hurrying!
There!
Yasuo, it's still waiting for us!
"Waiting"?
No, I mean, there's something in front of us on the ocean floor.
What?! Are you serious?
Yes... there's no mistaking it!
All right! Here we go!
Gloria! What's the status?
Good! I'm just about finished.
Shizuka, bring us up!
Rapid surfacing!
What's the matter?
Um...
This is!?
We can't move because of the rocks!
Gloria, quick! Get those rocks out of there!
You keep on changing my instructions!
Ahab approaching!
We can't make it!
Not so much as a twitch.
That's probably just a rock.
Please, just wait for a moment!
Well... lf you watch carefully, it might move.
No. It'll definitely move!
Rocks don't move.
The Ahab's at a standstill and is showing now signs of moving.
All right! I'll get rid of him.
Turning 180 degrees.
It moved!
What?
That long neck shaking ferociously! It's got to be him!
Come on, Yasuo! Clobber him with a spear or a harpoon!
You don't have to tell me! I've been waiting for this moment!
Um... What's that?
A large torpedo I've kept ready for this day.
What?! I didn't know about that!
I had to go through some rather questionable channels to get it.
How could I tell you?
Alignment is good! Operating close-range fuse!
No!
Torpedo approaching!
Dammit. Is there something clinging to me?
Gloria, torpedo at 9 o'clock!
What's a fishing boat doing with a torpedo?
Damn! I only grazed him!
That's too bad.
What are you talking about? I've still got one more.
What's this?
Dammit! You think you can get away?
Wait!
Shizuka.
Nothing's wrong with the hull's strength! Engine condition green!
No obstacles. Rapid surfacing!
Where are we?
He's got to be hiding around here somewhere.
Dammit! Did we lose him?
Is that you there, Sea Devil?
Why are you coming towards us?
Come on!
Run away!
Whose side are you on?
I'm um...
You bastard!
Shizuka, this is too much!
You've finally reached your end, Sea Devil!
No! Don't!
Rest in peace!
No!
I did it.
I finally killed the Sea Devil! We can celebrate tonight!
It can't be...
I did it, Kota! I finally killed the Sea Devil.
That's great, grandpa!
And so now, at long last my life as a fisherman is over.
Thank you, Maia!
Is she crying for me?
She was a terrible navigator, but a sweet girl.
She sure is!
Hey!
You're all here. I thought you were lying dead on the bottom of the ocean.
What do you mean? You have no idea what we went through.
We never heard anything about torpedoes being involved.
I'm sorry.
I thought for sure the second torpedo was a direct hit and you all...
The second?
We only got hit by one.
We managed to escape somehow after the first one.
The camouflage came off and the plan failed.
That's why I was against it from the start.
I figured it was bound to end up like this.
Shut up. You're the reason we failed to begin with.
Then, the Sea Devil back there was...
Man's claim to have mastered the ocean...
is nothing but a sign of arrogance.
There are still many uncharted regions lying far beyond our reach.

Hello? It's me, Rena. It's been a while.
Actually, I need to ask you a favor.
Our employee Maia will be traveling there soon for ajob.
Could you look after her? She's liable to get into trouble.
In return? Let's see...
if it's just one night, maybe. Like old times again...
Rena, what happened between you and the Siberia branch manager before?
