I have no idea just how much Nergal paid as compensation
for all the damage we did in escaping from Earth,
but we did escape while managing to wreak havoc on all parties involved.
There was love, there was adrenaline and there was friendship,
making things far too intense.
But in any case, Mr. Yamada, thanks for all you've done.
Gai! Gai!
Say something!
Say something to me, please!
Gai!
Gekigan Flare!
We did it, Joe!
Joe, what's wrong?!
Joe, snap out of it!
Joe!
I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
Joe! I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
JOE! I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
JOE! Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Joe! Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Akito...
Don't worry about it.
But I think the only person that can help him now is his lover, me.
Wonderful!
Man, just looking at these data sheets is getting me excited!
I hear that we're getting three more pilots.
Who cares about that?
But these Zero-G combat frames,
they're going to be killer units!
Excuse me...
About Akito...
I sure hope these new pilots turn out to be real bastards.
Why?
It's better for them to be people that you can't stand.
They might die in battle any day.
"Mm hmm" what?
Captain's orders! Listen to what I have to say!
Captain, we're about to arrive at the space colony at L2,
Satsuki Midori 2.
Please return to the bridge.
I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
Whoa, this place is wide open. I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
Whoa, this place is wide open.
Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Hey. Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Let's see, Mr. Yamada's belongings for Earth? Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Let's see, Mr. Yamada's belongings for Earth?
Thanks to the sacrifices of Joe Umitsubame,
Oh, this must be it. Thanks to the sacrifices of Joe Umitsubame,
Oh, this must be it. General Masaka's onslaught was driven back.
Sorry to bother you!
But now Gekigangar 3 is hurt and missing a pilot.
Joe!
Will they be able to recover from this loss?
The colony will come into view in one minute.
Lower Distortion Field.
Prepare for docking.
This is the High Mobile Battleship Nadesico.
Satsuki Midori 2, come in.
This is Satsuki Midori 2. Roger that.
You have a nice voice to listen to!
Beginning docking procedure.
Are you ready?
Okay, okay! Leave it to us! Are you ready?
Okay, okay! Leave it to us!
What's happening?
Brace for shockwave from colony.
Get me a damage report.
Satsuki Midori 2 is on our bow.
Continue approach to SM2.
Field Generator Two in engineering has sustained moderate damage.
I was just talking to him a few seconds ago.
I was just chatting with him.
Megumi, keep your guard up, and look for survivors!
Yes!
I want that generator checked immediately.
Continue to monitor the surrounding area.
If we fall under attack now...
What the hell is this?
Oh, how thoughtful of them.
They did some good work here, I see.
Inform all hands to increase security measures onboard ship.
Emergency, all hands hear this.
Someone is believed to have infiltrated this vessel.
All hands reconfirm broadcasting of identification codes.
Damage control crew, continue repairs.
All others, remain in their current positions.
Damn that evil General Masaka!
Look at what he's done to my Gekigangar 3!
But now someone trustworthy and reliable is joining our team.
His name is Tetsuya Ryuzaki.
He's a new source of strength for Gekigangar V!
Sensors indicate craft approaching from our flank!
Four bogeys confirmed.
Can you bring the field back online?
Hell no!
It's going to be at least another ten minutes on the generator!
Have it ready for me in five, please.
Increasing magnification of incoming bogeys.
Gekigan Cyclone!
Ken, finish him off!
But Joe!
What about you?!
Don't worry about me.
Do it!
Gekigan Flare!
We did it, Joe!
Joe, what's wrong?!
Joe, snap out it!
Joe!
I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Joe, you promised!
I'm sorry, Ms. Nanako.
Looks like I won't be able to take you to the beach...
Wretched Gekigangar! Damn them to hell!
Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Wretched Gekigangar! Damn them to hell!
Are you all right? Wretched Gekigangar! Damn them to hell!
Are you all right? I'll defeat you with my army of mecha next time!
Thanks to the sacrifices of Joe Umitsubame,
General Masaka's onslaught was driven back.
But now Gekigangar 3 is hurt and missing a pilot.
Joe!
Isn't Joe the most awesome of them all?
Will they be able to recover from this loss? Isn't Joe the most awesome of them all?
Will they be able to recover from this loss? Well...
Stand up! You must stand up, Gekigangar 3! Well...
Stand up! You must stand up, Gekigangar 3! I only recently found out about this anime show, Gekigangar 3.
For our future's sake! I only recently found out about this anime show, Gekigangar 3.
After I saw it the first time, I was just so totally hooked on it!
I even started thinking about doing a doujinshi comic,
and having it out for Kosumike 3, just like some other stuff I've done before.
Okay...
Who are you?
What were you doing in my ceiling?
Why of course you'd be wondering about that, right?
Oh jeepers, I'm such a klutz!
Come on now, I need you to put me down!
Like by asking me, "Who says 'jeepers' these days?"
Ready to fire. Fire!
Hold it!
That's...
The Zero-G frame for the Aestivalis.
If they're friendly, they ought to be emitting identification signals.
Have they been taken over?
No. They've merely forgotten their identification signal code.
How can you say that with such confidence?
There. Take a look!
A white cloth signal on the towing wires.
Standard operating procedure for towing.
But that's for when you're towing cars!
If only the Jovian Lizards were as fashionable as these people are.
Man, that was a drag. Jeez.
A woman?
Hey, where're the showers?
Then I want food.
Excuse me...
Could you tell me your name?
I haven't heard your name yet, pretty girl.
I'm Yurika Misumaru, captain of this vessel.
Excuse me?
I'm Ryoko Subaru.
So, where're the showers?
Were there only four Zero-G frames left?
There's one back in what's left of the colony hangar.
Four was all I could manage to bring at once.
What about the two remaining pilots?
I have no idea. Could be alive, could be dead.
I'm alive!
Hello, I'm Hikaru Amano, another pilot!
My blood type is B. I'm an Ophiuchus and I'm eighteen.
Among my favorite foods are pizza crust edges,
and slightly soggy rice crackers.
Nice to be working with you!
Was that not interesting enough?
Oh, no.
Guess two out of three isn't bad.
Don't kill me yet.
Izumi!
You're alive! Where are you now?
That I cannot say.
In any case, why not try opening the tool box?
The fresh air is so good!
Damn you!
Oh no! Don't!
Please don't pack me in.
I'm not a mackerel that must be canned.
That's the other pilot, lzumi Maki. You'll find out about her later.
After the maintenance and re-arming of the Aestivalis are done,
I want you to search for any remaining survivors,
and bring back the remaining Aestivalis.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Jeez, you work us like dogs, don't you?
Oh, when I came aboard, I broke in, so is everything all right?
I did do some minimal repairs to the hull on my own.
Stand down from increased security status.
What about these two pilots that you were already supposed to have here?
One pilot passed away very recently.
This is the other one.
You're kidding?!
This is not a joke!
While I'm really a cook...
I knew it!
You just don't look like a pilot at all.
That's right! I'm a cook!
I'm only a temporary pilot!
But...
I...
Beginning docking procedure. Are you ready?
Okay, okay! Leave it to us!
What is it?!
No one cares even when people die.
He's dead, and I'm the only one mourning over the loss.
I care when people die.
You're about the only person who thinks like that.
Don't say that.
Even if I decide to push myself as a pilot, no one will do anything for me.
Doesn't anyone think about doing more on behalf of Gai?
I'm the only one struggling with this.
I'm the only one tormented by this.
I'm the only one who doesn't know what to do!
None of this makes sense anymore.
You're not alone.
I'm sorry.
Everyone feels the need to hold on to something sometimes.
I got it!
I've been hiding behind something.
Yeah, that's got to be it.
I've got to keep going strong!
I'm going to give everything I've got to piloting.
Yes, give it all you've got!
Come on! Move it, or you're going to get stomped on!
Gravitational catapult, ready.
Time to suck some more vacuum!
Leave it to us!
I'm counting on you!
Charging graviton waves.
Subaru Aestivalis, launching!
Akito...
You should have launched along with them
after being encouraged by my words of support!
I'm so, so sorry!
But if you want someone to blame, you must point your anger
toward the relentless fate that...
Looks like another one wants to go.
Hey, you moron! You don't know how to operate a Zero-G type!
It's not all that different from the land engagement type.
The basics are the same, right?
And you know those basics?
Well, I am a pilot!
All right, get the hell out the way! This idiot's going to push his luck!
Sensors don't show any signs of life.
I've found the spot.
In a boiling pot!
Right then! Get ready to charge in.
We'll lose our energy feed from the Nadesico.
Confirming backup battery activation.
Start pearl diving!
In a boiling pot...
Hey, found myself a huge pearl!
Well, guess we'll start the salvage process.
Hey!
Let me help with something too!
Go for broke...
Damn it.
I'm out of juice.
If there's a physical barrier between us and the Nadesico,
then your energy source gets cut off.
That's the most basic of all the basics of doing this.
Then, what do I do?
This is what we do!
All right!
If you keep going, you'll smash into the Nadesico's Distortion Field.
Oh, boy...
It's a Devil Aestivalis!
What's that supposed to mean?!
The computer's been taken over by the lizards!
You bastard, making us waste our energy!
Your total gross weight is much heavier than ours!
I'll close in on you with my advantage in speed.
Time for some up close hand-to-hand!
Oh no! It's too fast for us!
It moves with much more agility than you'd expect.
What'll we do, Ryoko?!
I can never turn down a good fight.
I'll bust him up!
Here I go!
Oh my goodness...
Killer Move!
Double Attack!
NOT!
Your body's wide open!
Damn, it's heading toward the Nadesico!
There's only the cook in that direction.
Tenkawa, get that sucker!
I'm not the same person anymore!
Be careful about using a field attack. You risk damaging the Nadesico. I'm not the same person anymore!
Be careful about using a field attack. You risk damaging the Nadesico. I don't hide behind anything anymore!
Be careful about using a field attack. You risk damaging the Nadesico. I'm Akito Tenkawa V!
You go attack too!
Here I go!
Here I go, Gai!
Gekigan Flare!
He did it!
Oh, man!
Akito, you looked great!
Thank you!
Congratulations, Akito!
You did it! You gave it all you had!
Megumi, thank you.
Oh boy, what am I doing?
Megumi...
Akito...
A dream? Yeah, this must be a dream!
Just a really bad dream.
While it was a very convincing and realistic,
that could only happen in a dream! Right?
This is a dream, right?!
Yurika runs, as fate forces her to.
Akito anguishes, in search of a reason to fight.
Jun cries, for he loves with all his heart.
And Ruri whispers, "Fools."
As the Nadesico turns into a space-going Bastille,
the flames of revolution spread throughout the vessel.
Takeshi Syudo, of "God of War Goshogun",
brings robot anime into a new century in the next episode!
