Justice is but the aggregate interests of the common good.
History is nothing more than a record book
written for the convenience of its author.
Blessed are those who cherish each other, or so we thought.
So much interference working against us.
Taking with us the goodwill that they would cast out,
we left the ship behind.
Three more days to finish the check
on the engine block and the phase transition cannon.
Training the replacement crew will require another ten days.
So it will be another two weeks.
Skip the training.
Launch the ship as soon as we finish all the check procedures.
That won't be possible.
Half the crew may have stayed with us, but with them like that...
That's why we have the replacement crew.
This issue has been dealt with, right?
Yes, Sir. Their personalities do not present a problem.
But in exchange, they lack many of the required abilities.
Well, at least we won't have a mutiny on our hands.
The third ship is ready as well.
With the Earth mostly rid of the Jovian Lizard threat,
the UEAF appear to be in high spirits
as they prepare their major counterattack.
With us is the commanding officer of the UEAF Space Force 3rd Fleet,
Admiral Kouichiro Misumaru...
Click!
Are you going to spend all your time in front of the TV?
We're going to open the shop soon.
But my father was on.
Are you going to skip work?
Yes, I'm coming.
Sweet and sour pork combo!
Miso ramen!
Salt ramen!
Fried rice and fried dumplings! Salt ramen!
Fried rice and fried dumplings!
Quing jiaxo rou shin!
Hui guo rou!
I'll have the miso ramen!
Me too!
Tang mein, and make it extra large.
I'll repeat the order.
Starting from you, Sir... Sweet and sour pork combo, miso ramen.
Salt, soy sauce, and fried rice with fried dumplings.
Qing jiaxo rou shin and hui guo rou. You'll have the lunch set?
Miso, miso, tang mein, and you'll have it extra large.
Will that be all?
Hey, she's pretty good.
Isn't she?
She did graduate from the UEAF University Strategic Sim Program
at the top of her class.
That's the first time I've seen her actually being helpful.
What are you saying?!
Yurika went about being the captain of the Nadesico honorably.
And honorably we ended up like this.
Well, there was stupidity on our part as well.
You try to be a superhero, only to find out Earth doesn't want one.
Hey! What's the point of spacing out while looking at the soup!?
Start getting the ramen ready!
And you, stop wandering around while you wash dishes!
And wash this!
Yes, Sir.
I can't believe what I touched with it.
Sweet and sour pork's ready!
Be right there!
Come on! We've got a lot of dishes to pump out!
Yes, Sir.
Oh, such a beautiful laundry day!
Laundry day?
It means the weather is perfect to dry your laundry outside.
On the Nadesico, we could only use the dryer,
but it's much better when you can sun dry it.
When you dry it with the sun and natural wind...
See! All soft!
I just love sunny days.
Right?
I guess I could live with you.
Peek...
I was just...
Well, I'm still not happy about it, but...
Some Earthlings are all right.
There are a lot of bad ones too.
If we could only find someway of getting a hold of everyone.
Why file a report after all that's happened?
I'm not anxious to go through this.
Investigations take time.
And the UEAF has been nagging us for a full report.
So, before we release an official Nergal statement,
I thought it'd be best to have the chairman go through it.
Goat Hory...
We'll have to figure out how you should be treated as well.
Well, I'll figure it out soon.
So how is our gang doing?
I wouldn't think they could do much anymore.
One hundred fifteen people left the Nadesico in the confusion.
Four remain unaccounted for.
In the four weeks since the incident,
twenty have returned to their former occupations.
Thirteen have requested to be reinstated on the Nadesico.
The rest are hiding out. We do have them under supervision.
I'll leave you to monitor their movements.
It certainly is nice
that the most dangerous characters are all bunched up together.
It's hard to imagine that they fought the Jovians for so long.
But if push comes to shove, don't hesitate to have them neutralized.
It seems that they're amiable to not being amiable at all.
Mr. Pros, where does this book go?
Mr. Pros, I can't find the shelf for the 1990s!
Mr. Pros, why does the Nergal bulletin have comics inside it?
These girls are too young for this kind of demotion.
Right, leave this to me.
Lychee Lycheru Lycheolla Lychee!
Thank you for coming!
Natural Lychee! Remember these words well.
Evil never perishes. Justice is always fickle.
I won't forgive you, Rambutan!
I will not let you...
Earth shall become the domain of the Jovan!
Okay.
Thank you for your direction!
Good work.
Megumi!
Producer Kobayashi!
I'm so glad you came back!
Thank you.
Megumi's Rambutan is wonderful. The director is happy too.
It's really good.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for all the work.
Mari, thank you.
Ms. Mari...
You want to be taken off Natural Lychee?
I can't thank the producer and the director enough
for allowing me to play such a significant role,
even through I came out of nowhere all of a sudden, but...
Natural Lychee these days...
It just isn't the same anymore. They're fighting all the time.
That's because...
Because it's wartime?
Why did we have to use a name like Jovan for the bad guys?
It's so obvious.
We need anime that's more free-spirited and fun, instead.
Why did it have to become a fighting anime?
But thanks to that, we have the character Rambutan.
I think she's very interesting, thanks to you.
You should just give your best in acting, like you are doing now.
But...
That's for your benefit as well.
I think Erina would say the same thing too.
It's been a while, Megumi.
Thanks for the message.
You can't imagine how surprised I was.
I never realized that you and Megumi were acquaintances.
Do you know each other?
We'll use all the resources of Nergal to back up your career.
You don't have to worry about anything except acting. Understood?
You are not to mention anything about Mars and Jupiter.
Just give everything you have to playing the part of Rambutan.
The ratings for the Jovan season have been wonderful.
We're proud to be the sponsor for this show.
You won't get far running away from us!
Normally, all the former crew of the Nadesico
would be considered criminals!
I...
Megumi!
Megumi, can you come along with me?
I think we have too much static around here.
I just want to talk to Megumi!
Megumi, over here! Over here!
So, I've been under surveillance all this time?
That's right.
Not just you, but the entire crew of the Nadesico
is under Nergal surveillance, as best as they can.
As best as they can?
I hear that there are quite a few still on the run.
In those cases, it's more like searching and investigating,
instead of surveillance.
Swallowed fire hot sauce the other day.
Fire sauce made me cough and aiee.
Cough-ee by fire sauce.
Coffee by a fire source.
What's this about a fire sauce?
There's no point in asking.
If we could use this thing, we could talk to everybody,
but Omoikane has to...
Nergal's no pushover, so they probably reprogrammed Omoikane
to be obedient to them alone.
Since these terminals don't work anymore, it looks like...
This sounds like something Ruri-Ruri would say,
but it looks like the Nadesico is no longer the Nadesico.
And so, we the crew...
All separated, you mean?
Hey, why can't the two of us enjoy our second take at life?
With surveillance, of course.
How long is this going to last?
Probably until the secret is no longer a secret.
The veil of secrecy lifted, Earth and Jupiter reconciled,
we stride forth into boundless space!
What's that supposed to mean?
Once the fighting ends, the two learn to work together as comrades
toward building a better future for all.
Or that's the golden conclusion for cartoons and movies, but...
Well, what can you do?
I suppose.
I humbly submit this to you, Sir.
Well, it doesn't look too bad.
You need another ten years.
But these are times when hacks who should train
for another hundred years get big places and sport big attitudes.
Good enough. You've passed.
Really, Sir?
You passed.
Thank you so much, Master.
Looks like you stopped running.
What? I'm still running, actually.
You idiot, I meant, you stopped running from yourself.
You must've been under one hell of a chef.
Yes, Sir!
Now you're a true cook.
You are a peculiar one. Why did you stay?
My contract's not up yet, and because I felt like it.
Think it's too late to run?
Do you still have to care for that kitten?
I guess so.
Ms. Megumi! Ms. Megumi!
Yes, Ruri here. Meow.
What the hell?
I hope all of you are doing fine.
Ruri...
What is this?
This feed's audio and visual signals have been slightly altered
so that only you can receive this transmission.
Because of this, there might be some degradation.
I'm sorry I have not been able to communicate with you sooner.
I was having a difficult time getting Omoikane
to act out the personality in Nergal's replacement programming.
A computer was acting out a part?
Yes, but Omoikane does not like pretending to be someone else,
so it wasn't easy for me.
How strange.
But I needed to let all of you know this.
The Nadesico is still alive.
Ruri-Ruri, if you're dressed like that, it must be cold there.
Yes, but since I borrowed this outfit from Ms. Howmei, I'm fine.
I'm more resilient than you think.
Ruri-Ruri smiled!
Somebody said long ago that, "the Nadesico is your ship."
That's how I feel now as well.
This ship is our ship.
Looks like it's time that I laid in more supplies.
Everyone, time to change our aprons.
Change?
Yes!
Check all Aestivalis systems.
Yeah, let's do it.
Must go, must-ard, must do.
Hey, Akito, did you hear it? See it? What do we do?
Let's go!
I'm coming too!
I have to say that you really surprised me.
Coming back all of a sudden, a year after I threw you out.
With four women along with you, no less.
I'm really a man.
I have faith in your fried rice.
My place won't do as well without you gals
helping me out with your beautiful presence.
All of you, take care of yourselves.
You too.
Take care, Sir.
You work hard, all right?
Guess it looks better without me in the frame.
Take care, Mr. Saizou!
I can't let this be. As long as I am who I am.
Mister, where are you heading?
You need to ask? To the Nadesico, of course.
Would you mind letting me pass?
Must you make this difficult?
We're going to do some rough work now, okay, Omoikane?
Let's move along now.
Aye, aye!
I'm terribly sorry about this.
What the hell?
Nergal people, UEAF people, I'm sorry about this.
Please keep quiet for a short while.
All the shutters inside the building are closing on their own?
We can't control any of them!
Damn! It won't open!
Hey, open this now!
All right, let's go!
Roger!
The Nadesico's mutinied?
What can a ship without its master key do?
The Nadesico's computer has hacked into many systems.
Several former crew members
seem to have infiltrated the dock in the confusion.
The confusion will be temporary.
They can't launch. We have the master key.
Jun, how much further do we have to go to the Nadesico?
Captain! We've come for you!
Is everyone all right?
Are YOU all right?
Captain, over here! Tenkawa, cover me!
Look at your radar!
"Ack!" my ass!
What is so funny?
Damn, I certainly did not see this coming.
I thought Goat Hory was just another stiff,
but there was much more to him than I ever imagined.
Was?
He took off with the master key.
Here you go, eat up!
Tastes great.
How much longer is it going to be until Ryoko gets here?
The hard part is just beginning.
We need to retrieve everyone from all over.
But before we can do that, there are those we need here first.
Hey mister, a boiled egg next.
Hey mister, another bowl.
Bastards! Look at 'em go at us knowing we can't shoot back...
Come on, Ryoko. Haste makes things worse.
It's only a little further to Hiratsuka.
Man, you're ruining the cockpit mood.
Whoops.
I was actually thinking, running a ramen shop might be nice.
To help run a ramen shop alongside Akito...
I'll be the pretty waitress that's the talk of the town.
Akito would be the young but really skillful cook.
A small but popular restaurant...
But I guess that's not enough for Akito. Not enough for me either.
That ship just means so much to him, and to me as well.
Right! Let's go, Captain!
Yes!
I repeat! Give yourselves up!
We will guarantee your safety!
Guarantee what safety after this?
Liars, liars, liars!
Crooks start out as liars!
Damn!
We will guarantee your safety!
So you'll even open fire inside cities, you jerks!
Made it, Captain!
Okay!
You're late, Ryoko.
So late, so narrow, so dark, on this path...
I'm back!
Here you are.
We will launch immediately!
Everyone to your stations please.
Raising distortion field.
Auxiliary engine online.
Sorry I'm late!
Opening communication channels.
Megumi...
We will begin the retrieval of our crew.
First, set course for Akito's location!
Tenkawa unit, currently moving outside the gravitron wave range.
Bastards must figure that we won't shoot back.
They're bad guys, who cares? Shoot them down, shoot them down!
No killing!
At most the battery will last us another thirty minutes.
All we can do is run.
The Aestivalis is recharging.
Sorry to make you wait, Akito.
You were pretty fast.
I rushed for your sake.
Seiya, going off chasing after women again?
I'm sorry. I have friends waiting for me.
Friends that need me for my expertise as a mechanic.
When will you be back next?
I don't know...
It might be tomorrow. It might be ten years from now.
But I will come back.
Take care of yourself.
Jeez, just look at how you abuse these babies!
I'm sorry.
Had to happen. We'll be counting on you again, man.
Hey, same goes for me as well.
Altitude two hundred kilometers.
We will go ahead and punch out of Earth's atmosphere!
Last time, this is where we got hit by the missiles.
Defense systems have a thing called a cancel code.
Here we go!
Utilizing communication satellites to hack into all defense systems.
Why aren't the missiles being fired?!
A cancel code has been introduced to the defense system!
What?!
This is space station Sakura.
The Delphinium wing cannot launch!
The Nadesico has reached an altitude of 30,000 kilometers!
The Big Barrier system is not responding!
Combined crew of one hundred three on board.
Where are we headed to, Captain?
Our destination is clear!
We head to where Yukina's big brother is.
Big brother, wait for me!
Your lovely Yukina will be by your side in no time.
Do we have a destination?
If we head toward Jupiter, we're sure to find him!
Obviously.
Looks like the Nadesico's taken off.
The slogan, "Personalities aside, the best crew compliment ever"
was no joke in the case of that ship.
Can't be helped. We need to start preparing as well.
The Kakitsubata's ready to go, right?
Yes.
This is going to get quite interesting.
For both us and them.
Isn't that right, Doctor?
Emergency notification!
A special event for the wildly popular television anime show
"Hot Blooded Robot Gekigangar 3" has been announced!
It will be named Gekigangar Festival.
Nicknamed the Geki-Fes.
