You get to burning!
Go forward being yourself, being proud.
You get to burning!
Boson-fermion exchange reaction has begun.
Are you ready, Aestivalis?
Ready!
Lowering pressure-resistant Aesti.
Field expanding.
Massive amounts of photons, gravitons and P mesons are being registered.
Aesti monitoring, proceeding normally.
I'm about to make contact with the jump field.
Activating sensors now.
Sensors operational.
Contact made with field. Now penetrating!
All organic boson jumping trials have ended in failure.
In the six months since the Nadesico vanished and reappeared in Lunar orbit,
reports indicated the Crocus appeared on Mars before it disappeared on Earth.
Boson jumping seems to be unlike teleportation.
In either case,
the theory that CCs are the key to boson jumping seems to have been disproved.
I disagree.
According to the data that I collected on board the Nadesico,
organic boson jumping is still a distinct possibility.
I'll make sure that Nergal will profit from this.
May I be given the chance?
I'm so excited about being invited to Mr. Akatsuki's room!
What should we wear?
I never imagined Christmas on a battleship could be so special.
Isn't Christmas wonderful?!
Yeah, I'm glad I got on the Nadesico.
Come on, I see idle hands!
You have to work hard to get stuff done, or we won't be able to take off early tonight.
Everyone, let's go out and party!
Let's spend a wonderful night together!
The Lord cometh to thou...
Bearing presents.
Bearing flowers.
The Lord cometh carrying Champagne!
I hope I will be able to find my special deity...
It's a galactic Merry Christmas!
...galactic Merry Christmas!
Okay!
Looks just fine!
It looks a little crooked to me.
Nergal Heavy Industries sponsored Christmas party?
Yes, I thought it'd be nice if we all had a bash together now and then.
You're always making others abashed.
But we've already been invited to Mr. Akatsuki's party.
So, what's the lineup for yours?
Lineup?
Who's all coming?!
It's a galactic Merry Christmas for everyone.
Are you coming, Megumi?
I have to pass.
Christmas should be spent alone with someone special. Right?
Nabeyaki Udon, please!
That's it!
Well, this isn't about love or anything.
Yeah, it's about friendship.
Captain, I'll have to pass too!
Tenkawa! Where are you, Tenkawa?!
Now that you mention it, I wonder where Tenkawa ran off to.
Merry Christmas comes to each and every one of us!
No, it doesn't come to everyone.
Damn those Kyo'Akkians!
Do they ask how others feel?
– This will be our last fight against them with Gekigangar V!
– Tenkawa!
– Launch Space Gangar!
– Aren't you in there, Tenkawa?
Next week, the final episode:
"The Great Battle - Gekigangar Forever."
The final episode...
Even if you're in front of the TV, you can "Let's Gekiga In!"
I've watched all the episodes through thirty-eight,
but I just can't get myself to watch the final episode.
This is perfect!
Behold, the deluxe party facility!
The Super Love Attack Game and...
...Seiya Special Neruton Machine!
Neruton?
Come hither, dear fair maidens!
But everyone said that they were going to Mr. Akatsuki's party.
There.
You're being too playful.
Don't worry. No one will come.
Why not someplace like this once in a while?
Naughty boy...
What's this?
Are you telling me to leave the Nadesico?
It's a transfer to the main office.
You're not telling me that you can't stand having me in the same workplace?
You're misunderstanding me.
The Nadesico will become an increasingly dangerous place.
It's dangerous enough already with all the eager wolves around.
The crew will be drafted officially.
Once that happens, you won't be able to leave easily.
So, this is your Christmas present?
Go Home! Go Home! Go Home!
Go Home! Go Home!
We can't have a military vessel's crew...
...made up of civilians indefinitely.
Normally, everyone would be booted off,
but I went through extraordinary steps to request that the current crew...
...of the Nadesico be smoothly incorporated into the military.
Who asked you to do this?
This is very difficult for me to say, but...
After calculating all of UEAF's damages from Omoikane's rampage recently,
we would not only be unable to pay you,
but we'd have to have you pay part of the compensation to the military.
Two weeks ago, a mysterious explosion erupted on a recaptured part of the Moon.
The Nadesico might be merged into the Lunar Theater Fleet.
There is little time left.
Even if you do leave this ship, you'd be subjected to annoying surveillance.
So please, accept this offer!
What will you do, Akito?
Me? I'm not inclined to make war my job, but...
Oh, you won't have to worry.
What?
We can't leave an Aestivalis in the hands of a novice forever,
so we're getting another superb pilot as your replacement.
Nice to meet you.
Then, Akito will concentrate on being a cook?
According to our records,
based on his recklessness on Tenician Island and the black hole gun operation,
we cannot regard you as being soldier material.
We'd like you to help the war effort as a civilian away from the front.
Of course, this will mean you will be under surveillance.
So, you're telling me to leave the Nadesico?
This just wasn't meant to be your place.
You've done a wonderful job, Mr. Tenkawa.
It's unfortunate that this should happen,
but I'm sure we will be able to greet one another...
...with smiles once we have defeated the Jovian Lizards.
I wish I could have enjoyed your cooking.
I'm leaving as well!
Merry Christmas, the party tonight will be so wonderful.
If it's only for one night, why not enjoy yourself?
I don't want to miss out on my own special deity.
They told me they don't need me!
Being a soldier means you need to do anything that they order!
Please calm down, Akito!
Let's talk this over once more.
Are you just going to leave your lover behind?
You're not my lover!
You just aren't...
Sorry I kept you, Akito.
Megumi?
Ms. Yurika, thank you for all your care.
Come on, let's go, Akito.
Wait, we're not done!
They look like newlyweds!
Akito, you jerk.
What are you going to do, Megumi?
You first, Akito.
I guess I'll be a cook again.
But I wonder if they'll call me a washed-up pilot again?
You know, I go around saying I want to be this and that,
but in the end, no one wants me.
That's not true!
Certainly not.
Mind if we ask for you?
You're just saying that to keep him under your supervision!
Well? This is a job that only you can do.
Only me?
You know that the Jovian Lizards use the Chulips to...
...conduct a form of instant movement, or boson jumping,
so they can flood the front with an almost infinite number of units.
Nergal is rushing to unlock the secrets of this system independently of the military.
The Jovian Lizards only use unmanned weapons,
and the crew of the Crocus were all dead.
How was it that the Nadesico was able to successfully boson jump with no loss of life?
The secret to this has to do with this person, Akito.
Ms. Inez?
She expressed an interest in our research.
These people want to make organic boson jumping a reality.
If we could send manned weapon platforms to Mars and Jupiter,
then the current strategic trend could be reversed.
In any case, Earth doesn't have the technology...
...to build unmanned weapons as sophisticated as the Jovians'.
Beyond that, even the Jovians can't use organic boson jumping.
We must move beyond them before they achieve that technology!
There's no doubt you have a mysterious ability that enables you to do that.
Earth needs your ability.
Why does it have to be Akito?! Akito is just a pilot!
This is a Chulip Crystal, CC for short.
It was found on Mars.
You've seen it before, haven't you?
It's like the one my father left me. I lost it on Mars.
CCs were first discovered in the mines of the Martian polar caps.
From then on, Nergal took control of the entire operation.
This is a CC.
These are all CCs.
So, are you surprised?
I... I never thought there could be this many.
So, what happened to your CC?
This crystal's formation is identical to that of the Chulip.
My hypothesis is that CCs are the trigger for boson jumping!
That day, you jumped, didn't you? From Mars to Earth?
From Mars...
...to Earth?
Jump?
When I came to, I was on Earth.
When I came to, the stone in my pendant was gone.
See?! You've got to help us out!
The priceless data that you and Ms. Inez can provide will insure a bright future for humanity.
Erina Won!
Yes?
A word, please.
So, you've already proceeded with live experiments?
I'm sorry. We were so bored that we followed you here.
It appears successful experiments are still out of reach.
Well, no... That's...
I get it. You mean, you want Ms. Inez and me to be guinea pigs!
Nergal sure is dirty!
Guinea pigs? What's wrong with that?! You're a failure, aren't you?!
For the sake of humanity? Why not? You'd get more respect as a guinea pig!
To be that?
You can do it! It'll be a success!
Please cooperate!
Okay?
Are you going to stop him?
He'll be back.
Where he is now, he's just a failure.
You're all over him.
W-What are you saying?!
You said something about doing this before the Jovians obtain the technology...
...to conduct organic boson jumping, right?
In other words, they too found the phase transition engine and Chulip someplace.
Force field inoperable!
A powerful distortion field has arisen from inside the Chulip!
Massive amounts of boson particles are being recorded!
If the research probes made it to the enemy's home planet, then they'd know...
...that Earth has started experimenting with the idea of organic boson jumping.
Then, it would be natural for them...
...to hamper and destroy any advances that the enemy made.
Here they come.
T-That can't be.
That's...
I told this young lady to marry my friend Chris.
Marry Chris, Miss.
Cheers!
Mommy, Mommy, please buy me that crimson paint.
You're such a foolish boy. How can I when we're deep in red ink?
You're just too much.
I felt as if I was going to suffocate if I stayed at that company, so I quit.
That's why...
Minato...
Merry Christmas comes to each and every one of us...
A Jovian Lizard has infiltrated Kawasaki City.
Damn!
What is that? A Gekigangar?!
Looks like the UEAF units were wiped out!
The hostile units possess, however small, gravity blasts cannons.
Everyone, be careful!
...refrain from driving, and stay away from the Kawasaki district...
...as you will hamper the efforts of the UEAF to thwart the enemy.
Furthermore, the Jovian Lizard units are being intercepted...
You promised that you'd forget the Nadesico, and spend Christmas with me!
...by the Aestivalis troops from the Nadesico.
But...
Do you want to fight?
It's not about wanting to fight.
With Mars gone, if I lose the Nadesico,
I'll have lost the things I most want to protect.
Am I not enough?
Is it not enough to protect me?
Please look.
Everyone looks cheerful. They look detached.
But they are all desperate.
They're doing their best to protect their happiness in their own ways.
It's not as if you have to be fighting a war to be special!
Safeguarding one girl or safeguarding the Earth, either's a good fight, right?!
No field's going to stop me!
Eat this!
What?!
Ryoko!
What is this? I don't get it!
Stay cool.
I'll go in close.
Teleporting won't do any good if I'm attached to you!
No!
If it boson jumps, that person will...
Newbie! Hey, newbie!
It's useless. The cockpit is gone.
Concentrate all your fire on the remaining one!
Jerk...
Jerk!
All right, now!
Thirty degrees to the left, in three seconds!
With its patterns in jumping figured out, it can be defeated!
What's that?!
The worst possible scenario.
It must've been programmed to self-destruct from the very start.
Self-destruct?
It's about to phase transition with everything in its spatial sphere.
I can guarantee that this city will be vaporized.
Thank you for your assessment. But I wouldn't worry too much.
Akito?
Give me the CCs.
Hey, that's...
What the hell is he doing?!
Captain!
Something I can do.
Something only I can do!
Is there really such a thing?
Can I be something?!
Akito? Akito!
AKITO!
Well, I guess he turned into a real warrior at the very end.
Akito is not simple minded enough to do something like that!
This isn't right! This is all wrong.
It's wrong!
You! It's your fault that Akito has...
Don't get so excited. Your Tenkawa is right over there, see?
Hey, Nadesico!
Nadesico!
Oh, there you are finally! What's been going on?
It's been two weeks. I've been sending messages the whole time!
He jumped to the Moon of two weeks ago.
Akito...
Yurika, are you crying?
You're a ghost?
No, I'm not.
But how? Are you real? Where are you?
I haven't quite figured it out, but I'm on the Moon.
All right, I'll head right over!
You dummy, you can't just take off without permission.
But that's not important.
Um, well...
Merry Christmas!
Akito loves me so much!
Hey, who's singing the Gekigangar theme?
Not us. It's coming from inside.
That's impossible! This is an unmanned weapon!
Give me a break.
Hello, everyone. I'm Ken Tenkuu, the pilot of the Gekigan Jet.
Dark String Universe Prince Akara sent a loathsome mecha monster.
The only way we'll be able to defeat it is with Gekigan Flare!
So in the next special episode of Gekigangar 3, be sure to...
That's not right!
Next week, this program will be:
"Sail Forth! The Glamorous Captain Yurika Misu..."
No, it isn't! It's the next episode of Martian Successor Nadesico:
"Let's Go With Hot Blooded Anime."
Everyone, be sure to...
Let's Gekiga in!
What?
