ILA - Fansubs Proudly Presents Eat-Man
ENDLESS TOMORROWS
They lost control during the first flight.
Entire generations have tried to bring it to the ground.
Numerous are those who left their hide.
They even tried to take it down.
They kept trying, the Lavion kept flying.
Many speak of it like it was the devil.
For us, aircraft constructors, it is a model.
A model ?
An aircraft that will never crash. It is our greatest dream.
What a dream !
How was it when you were dead ? - Marvelous.
And when we resurrected you ? - Horrible.
That it falls or not, there must be a reason.
I want to discover why that aircraft defies the laws of gravitation
and continues to fly.
What will it bring you ? - I want to copy it.
I am not joking. If we bring the Lavion to the ground,
we could create aircrafts resistant to any ordeal.
In my way, I am also a mercenary. Not an intellectual thirsting for adventure.
That is why I have called upon you, upon the greatest mercenary.
No.
Already eat metal ?
I am not a mercenary anymore.
Get back to work.
And stop slacking. It's up there that it's happening.
Hi, hello.
Very good.
Despite objections, we invested everything in your resurrection.
I asked for nothing.
It is not a reproach.
There is a difference between following your dreams and clinging to them.
I am not the only good mercenary.
Why stop ? - I do not know.
We wanted to create the first infallible aircraft.
An aircraft which we can't lose control of.
We did not think of the money.
We were all enthusiastic.
But reality caught up with us.
I would finally like to lead a normal life.
Thank you.
You scared me. What are you doing there ?
I am touched by your attention, but why have you come ?
Ask me out on a date ?
Sorry, but for the time being I cannot permit myself to go out with an adventurer.
So ?
Say something.
I was fired.
But why ? - Well...
You were fighting, is that it ?
It appears that I did not care a...
If we replace the Lavion's motor with this one, it should come down.
Should ? - We cannot be certain.
How does it work ? - A bit like a catalyzer.
It transforms energy into any matter.
Any ? - If it works with energy.
Bringing the Lavion to the ground will not give you back your construction firm.
Why are you doing that ?
To see what your team's research gives ?
To build the first infallible aircraft ?
To die ?
You really are the greatest of mercenaries. - Ex-mercenary.
In this world, many humans are empty.
I cannot become like them.
Serious people, hard-working, who know how the world functions,
are not necessarily bad.
They do nothing but repeat what they have read
or heard somewhere.
They do not defend their opinions. No, their opinions are those...
Those of an empty person in the literal sense of the term.
We cannot erase the feelings of a person.
Even if I crack, even if I lost my building firm,
I must do it.
It is not for a mercenary to do. I must undertake it.
And you ?
Why have you come ?
You cannot do without me anymore?
Then, you are a hardened mercenary!
Who are you calling a hardened mercenary ?
It can give me heartburn.
Is it not O.K. ? - It is nothing, it's my stomach.
Do not think that I have accepted the mission.
Another thing : don't wait for me.
Mr. Bolt Crank, I presume.
You are indeed the mercenary Bolt Crank ?
The captain awaits you. Follow me.
did you have something to drink yet? You have just arrived.
No thank you. My stomach is bubbling.
Well, follow me.
In case of need, do not hesitate to call me.
Mr. Crank.
At the time when this aircraft was built,
everyone acclaimed it and admired it.
Many even envied it.
I haven’t introduced myself. I am Captain Howell.
Bolt. Bolt Crank.
At the same time respected and misunderstood.
Mercenary and aircraft captain, it is rather similar.
Delighted.
Some would hate that comparison.
Look at that, Mr. Crank.
We are at the apogee of half a life of work
and look at the result.
In this world, only the result counts.
I have always known that you would come to this aircraft.
Good. Then I do not have to justify my coming.
Do you remember your mother ? - No.
And your father ? - No
Good, I will show you what you are looking for.
Let’s go to the heart of this aircraft.
You do not hope to stop me?
Mr. Crank, understand me well.
You do not know what you have embarked on.
It is the question.
You do not need a catalyzer. You just need to break the psychocrystal.
The psychocrystal ?
It encloses the passion of the construction team members.
It is what stops it from falling.
I am not the first to try bringing the aircraft to the ground.
Have you told the others ?
No, they were in too much of a hurry to listen to me.
They did not have the gift.
Why me? - You already know the answer.
Your gift holds the same fate as our psychocrystal.
Indeed, you are the last...
You can bring the aircraft to the ground?
Perhaps yes, perhaps no.
In that case, you believe you can fix the Lavion ?
You can do it ? - Maybe.
But avenge yourself on the world alone.
It is your job, not mine. It is for that you have come.
Damn egoist.
Sometimes it is necessary to go against the goal which one fixed at the beginning.
I am certain that nobody will reproach that to you, not even you.
There exists a form of energy that permits flight
in spite of the gravity that nails man to the ground.
The flow of blood which leaves the brain - it can create anything.
I would like to be normal, like everyone.
You are the only one who can get there, Mr. Crank.
I should rather say: the last Eat-Man.
The last Eat-Man?
Only someone who has eaten metal while crying can really know what adventure tastes like.
The Lavion.
