WOWOW 20th Anniversary Special
Full speed ahead!
Roger!
Hurry!
Ram 'em!
Hang on tight!
Are you the captain of the Bardanos?
sabaku no kouya chirabatta
You looked over the desert wasteland from above
kareki wo sora de mioroshita
and saw dead trees scattered throughout
aoi tori ga nageki naku to
Blue bird, who knows no sadness
machigai darake no kibou no
I ground my teeth, my hope full of misconceptions
okuba de kanda nigai suna hakidasenai
and couldn't spit out the dreadful sand in my mouth
atoaji wa namida he to toketa
Left was only the salt of tears
aisuru mono sae mamorenai okubyou mono ni
For cowards unable to protect the ones they love
michitarita asa wa konai
no future waits past the dawn of day
Woah
oh
oh!
asu no tobira doko he tsuzuitemo
Wherever the door to the future may lead
haruka misueta me wa nidoto sorasanai
I'll stay focused on what I need to do for it myself
Oh,
woah
oh
oh!
itoshiki kimi no kokoro tataku yo
I will take my place in your heart
itsuka tadashii sekai he kimi wo tsureteyuku kara
because one day I will show you the world we should live in
Episode 5: The Masked Man
I am Gido Gailar, commander of the Theseus Fleet.
Bainas.
That was a splendid battle.
I wanted to meet my enemy face-to-face.
As did I.
Why do you pursue us?
We want Maya back.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to abandon people in need.
I refuse.
Miss Maya is an important person to us.
Then I'll take her by force!
Captain!
We're being approached by something with a massive QTF!
Ozma?
What?
Ozma!
We'll settle things next time!
After all this time, it's here!
It's finally here!
Prepare to dive!
What?
Damn it! Everything's still rattled from that last shock!
What is this?
It's Ozma. That's his roar!
Dive, now!
Damage report, now!
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!
Get yer asses movin'!
Inspect those engines!
Don't miss a single crack!
Roger!
This is the engine room.
Gimme 'bout an hour till we can start movin' again.
Roger.
Oh, my.
Looks like it'll be a busy day for us, Mickey.
Torpedo launch room, all clear.
What the hell's goin' on here?
What happened?
The main monitor's down.
But the sensors are working.
Hull pressure zero? We're in an open space!
Atmosphere composition: 73%.
Oxygen: 25.9%.
Carbon dioxide: 0.04%.
So we can breathe out there?
Easily.
It looks like there's fresh water, too.
But... where exactly are we?
Leave it to me!
I'll go check it out!
Sam!
There's air and water.
So why don't we go see for ourselves?
That'll be my job!
I'll go, too.
What're you gonna do?
You'll just get in the wa-
Don't blame me if anything happens.
Look out!
Hey, watch where you're going!
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 so different from the desert world we've always known.
There're all kinds of living things down here.
Could there be people as well?
That's what we're here to find out!
That's...
Theseus's ship?
Looks like they ended up here, too.
Sam!
Stay away from that thing! It's not safe!
We should go back and report to the captain!
What do you think you're doing?
What else?
I'm gonna save Maya.
Don't! We need to talk to the captain first!
Do what you want.
You saw how frail Maya is.
We can't wait any longer!
Sam!
Don't worry!
I won't do anything crazy.
Jeez, you never listen.
I'll call the captain!
I'll be waiting!
Hang in there, Maya.
I'm coming for you!
How is Miss Maya?
She's fine.
What about the ship?
The engineers are looking at it.
Over there?
Oh, crap...
We found the Theseus ship!
Sam just boarded it on his own...
What's wrong, everyone?
We just got a message from Theseus.
They've taken Sam as a hostage.
That idiot...
"If you want him back, send the captain herself," they said.
How are the repairs?
Monitors are back online.
Can we get close to the Theseus ship over the water?
Yes, I think so.
Okay. Let's move!
Roger!
Damn it! Let me go!
You bastard!
You better not have hurt Maya!
Silence!
Stay put.
Bardanos!
Captain!
So she came.
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 want to get out of here, I'll help you.
In your position, you think you can tell us what to do?
Hand over your ship.
Bainas.
Do you know what this place, the Zone, is?
No. You have no idea.
This is a seed bank.
You could call it 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 to 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 will have need for your power soon,
but now is not the time.
Now, Bainas.
Order your men off the ship,
and hand over 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.
Does he have that little pride?
He's a fool, entranced by petty desires.
Mobilize the whole army!
Dick, was 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...
C'mon, take it like a man! Pipe down!
Sam...
I wanted to follow in my brother's footsteps 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?
There's something I noticed.
Doctor?
Something strange that I noticed while I was treating those soldiers.
The bio-signs of those soldiers were closer to us Natura than the Ideal Children.
How could that be possible?
Maya!
Our ancestors, the humans from ancient times,
created the Ideal Children using ideal genetic information.
But...
As they were cloned time and time again...
The bodies and minds of the Ideal Children have weakened 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...
You mean... their bodies once belonged 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!
There's nothing I can say without it sounding like an excuse.
Maya, when I treated you, I also looked at your genetic information.
You're not one of the Ideal Children either, are you?
I am one of the humans from ancient times, known as the Originals.
I have lived this long by cloning myself and moving my mind into each new body.
Y-You mean, you've lived for centuries?
That's why your telomeres are so short...
I won't last much longer.
That's why I have to come to 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!
shin'ai naru anata he
I ask you, my love,
sono mune wa itsu kara
since when your heart
setsunasa to kodoku no aida
has been lost between sorrow and solitude
hasamarete kokyuu wo wasureteru
where you lost your grip on reality
kanashii uta ni tsutsumarete
All around us we hear songs of lament
namida ga ochiru sono mae ni
but before I give in to the tears
kizuite anata wo omoinagara
I notice the echoes
yasashiku hibiku utagoe ni
of a gentle singing voice around me
dareka wo aishite dareka ni aisare
Loving someone and being loved by someone
umareta imi ni sotto kizuketa nara
is why we were all born
omoi no mama ni koe wo furishibotte
If you realized that too, put your emotions
into your voice
anata mo tsuyoku ai wo utatte hoshii
and please sing of love with all your strength
Next Episode
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!
