Full speed ahead!
Roger!
Hurry!
Ram 'em!
Hang on tight!
Are you the captain of the Bardanos?
Leiji Matsumoto's
OZMA
Episode 5: The Masked Man
I am the Theseus Fleet Commander, Gido Gailar.
Bainas.
That was a splendid battle.
I wanted to see your face at least once.
Me too.
Why do you follow me?
We want Maya back.
Unfortunately, I'm not capable of ignoring anyone who asks me for help.
I refuse.
Miss Maya is an important person to us.
Then I'll take her by force!
Captain!
Something with a large QTF is approaching us!
Ozma?
What?
Ozma!
We'll settle things next time!
It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here!
It's finally here!
Prepare to dive!
What?
Damn it! Everything's all rattled from that last shock!
What is this?
It's Ozma. That's his cry.
Dive, now!
Report!
Propeller shaft damaged!
We can't steer!
Wh-Where are we?
C-Captain?
Confirm our position!
I want to know exactly what's going on outside the ship.
Roger!
Come on, slowpokes, get a move on!
Get these engines inspected!
Don't miss a single crack!
Roger!
This is the engine room.
Give us an hour, and we'll be able to get us moving again, a little.
Roger.
Oh, my.
It's gonna be a busy day, Mickey.
Torpedo launch room reports all clear.
What the heck's going on here?
What happened?
The main monitor's down.
But the sensors are working.
Hull pressure zero? There's space around us!
Atmosphere composition: 73%.
Oxygen: 25.9%.
Carbon dioxide: 0.04%.
So we can breathe out there?
Easily.
It looks like there's fresh water out there.
But... where exactly are we?
Okay!
I'll go look!
Sam!
There's air and water.
So why don't we go see for ourselves?
That'll be my job!
I'll go, too.
I don't need you.
You'll just get in the wa—
Don't blame me for what happens.
Look in front of you!
Focus on your driving!
Shut up.
You wouldn't last a second on your own.
What is this?
Wow...!
I can't believe there's a lake like this underground.
I've never seen one this big.
This is different from the world of sand we've always lived in.
There're all kinds of living things down here.
What about people?
That's what we're here to find out!
That's...
Theseus's submersible?
They ended up here, too.
Sam!
It's dangerous to get any closer!
We have to report to the captain first!
What are you doing?
What else?
I'm going to save Maya.
Don't! We need to talk to the captain first!
Do what you want.
Maya's got a frail body.
She may need rescuing right now!
Sam!
Don't worry!
I won't do anything crazy.
Jeez, you never listen.
I'll call the captain!
I'll be waiting!
Hang on, Maya.
I'm coming to save you.
How is Miss Maya?
She's fine.
What about the ship?
The engineers are looking at it.
Over there?
Whoopsie...
We found the Theseus ship!
Sam just tried to board it all alone...
What's wrong, everyone?
We just got a message from Theseus.
They're using Sam as a hostage.
That idiot.
"If you want him back, send the captain herself," they said.
How're repairs going?
Monitors are back online.
Can we get close to the Theseus ship over the water?
Yes, I think we can.
Okay. Let's move!
Roger!
Damn it! Let me go!
You bastard!
Maya's safe, right?
Silence!
Stay put.
Bardanos!
Captain!
So she's here.
Captain, I'm sorry.
Gido.
Looks like you're stuck.
You got trapped before you could escape the QTF, huh?
You don't have time for this right now, do you?
If you're going to try and escape, I'll help you.
Are you in a position to make suggestions?
Hand over your ship.
Bainas.
Do you know what this place, the Zone, is?
No. You don't.
This is a seed bank.
You might say it's... a laboratory for the evolution of life.
Together, Maya and I can rule this land.
We can control all life on this planet!
All who bow to us will live, and all who oppose us will die.
We will create a beautiful world... with me at its apex!
I thought you would be easier to talk to.
But from what I'm hearing, you're no different than that idiot general.
What did you say?
Stop it, Gido.
Maya? You're safe?
Put down your weapon.
I will not allow needless conflict in this land of hope.
Please return to the ship, Miss Maya.
We'll need your power soon.
But now is not the time.
Now, Bainas.
Order your men off the ship.
Give us the Bardanos.
If you don't...
Gido!
Damn it!
Guys!
This way, Sam!
Damn it...!
You okay?
Mimay!
Did you see that?
Yes.
I'm sure of it.
That was my brother Dick.
Maya!
Wait for me.
I'll come back.
Sam!
Captain Gido went missing after telling us he was on his way back.
I can't believe he disappeared with Miss Maya.
He's lost that much of his pride?
He's a fool, entranced by petty desires.
Mobilize the whole army!
Dick, is that really you?
Sam...
Captain!
Well? Did you find him?
Well...
This is Gido's mask?
You saw it, Captain.
That was him!
It wasn't Gido!
It was... Dick.
My brother.
That can't...
That can't be...
If you're a man, shut up and stop moaning!
Sam...
I thought I might get closer to my brother by defeating Ozma.
Or, really... I thought that, if I defeated Ozma,
my brother would come back to me somehow.
Sam...
That he'd smile and say "Sam, you've gotten strong."
I knew it was stupid, but I thought it anyway.
But... but...
Why?
How?
How did Dick turn into Gido Gailar?
I noticed something.
Doctor?
I noticed something while I was treating those soldiers.
The bio-signs of those soldiers are closer to us Natura than the Ideal Children.
How is that possible?
Maya!
Our ancestors, the humans from ancient times,
created the Ideal Children through ideal genetic information.
But...
Repeated cloning...
It has weakened the minds and bodies of the Ideal Children over the generations.
They realized...
that as they gradually weakened,
the Natura, while few in number, were better able to adapt to the harsh environment,
due to their natural reproduction.
Some of the Ideal Children...
...decided to capture Natura and implant their own minds into them.
So strong...
So... their bodies belong to our companions?
Yes.
So they killed Dick's mind and took his body?
That's right.
You didn't stop them?!
You're the queen of Theseus!
No matter what I say, it will sound like an excuse.
Maya, when I treated you, I actually looked at your genetic information.
You're not one of the Ideal Children either, are you?
I am one of the humans of the ancient times, known as originals.
I have lived this long...
by cloning myself and moving my mind into each new body.
So you've lived for centuries?
The reason your telomeres are so short...
I won't last much longer.
That's why I have to make a decision before this body falls apart.
That's why you've come here?
Gido said this place was a lab for living things.
Maya, what is hidden here?
I have to choose.
And for that, I have to meet Ozma.
Ozma?
Captain!
We're hearing lots of engine sounds getting closer!
The sensors are reading unusual EM waves.
They're close.
To protect our honor,
we must be prepared to choose a hopeless future.
What's wrong?
That's Ozma's voice?
What's wrong?
Maya!
I can hear it...
But this voice... I've never heard it before.
What can you hear?
Ozma... Ozma is angry!
What?
Captain!
Ozma! Ozma is coming!
Ozma!
It's huge!
It's going to swallow us!
The Monokeros!
Captain!
Use the Monokeros!
The weapon my brother left us!
Sam!
Captain!
All crew to battle stations!
We will engage the Ozma!
Prepare to fire the Monokeros!
The Ozma is heading straight for us!
Who pissed off the sand whale?
Fire the Monokeros!
Wait! Sam and Mimay are heading there with Maya!
Please, Sam!
Save the Bardanos! Save this planet!
