Fifteen Years Later.
Okinawa
May 22th. 2048 A.D.
"Kouichro, died Dec. 19th 2033 A.D.
I'm going now, my darling... no, my Coach.
Commander Ohta!
Director Kashiwara!
Even though you were my classmate, I am now ten years older than you. Space is a mysterious place.
Are you going to outer space again?
Yes.
Why did you ask for that assignment?
You're the hero of The Solar System Defense.
Noriko encouraged me to fight back then, Miss Kashiwara.
It was she who truly saved the earth.
Coach! Coach! Coach! Coach
Are you are really leaving today?
Yes. I am sorry, I won't be able to return for a long time.
Oh No! Coach!
We all made this together. Please take this to space with you.
Thank you. I am very glad.
Coach, This is from my mother for Aunt Noriko.
Alright.
Coach! I'll be waiting for you for however many years.
So, please come back!
I'll be waiting for you as well.
Thank you.
Aim for the TOP
The last episode
At the End of the Eternal Stream of Time
Hawaii
This area was not damaged
The first Orbital Rope-way Base
Project leader of The Operation Carneades
I've been waiting for you. Please come this way.
This rope-way goes directly to the No. 3 orbital space station,
"Meridian Star." On the away, you may experience an ear ache because of the air pressure change.
Continent of Australia.
That area has not been restored yet.
Because of the construction of the Black Hole Bomb, we don't have the time to do that.
Hmm, even though it's been fifteen years.
The super gravitational decay took place at the orbit of Tonans.
So the damage is smaller than that expected: only 3 planets lost and the displacement of the Earth's axis .
Well yes..
But this operation is to annihilate the entire center of the galaxy, together with the nests of the monsters.
I don't think that humanity has the right to do such a thing.
We're going to destroy the galaxy!
If we don't, humanity will be destroyed.
If that is the destiny of humanity, we should accept that destiny instead.
My opinion is that we should do nothing.
That means suicide.
I wonder if suicide is a happy ending.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
But future history will judge that.
What we have to do now is to make an effort to survive..
Buster Machine III (Bomba de H. N.)
That machine will take me to space, where Noriko is.
The same day, Centaur A*, The Center of the Galaxy.
The Galactic Center Attack Fleets.
Flag ship "Eltrium"
Sign says, "First Bridge"
Did you call me?
Sí. Desde que desistimos evacuar la tierra, Operación Carneades, la cual ataca al enemigo, ha alcanzado su etapa final.
Ahora estamos esperando la flota principal.
You two have been doing well with GunBuster... I appreciate that.
The main force will arrive here 12 hours from now.
Oh, it's already been built?
Yes. The delay in the time schedule is only one thousandth of a percent.
Since then, 15 years have passed on the Earth..
Is there anybody onboard Buster Machine III?
According to the plans at our departure, the machine is a manned vessel.
hmm, then who will be on it?
Loss Canceler initiated, no problems.
Pressure up in Degeneration reactor.
Ether wave parameter adjusted to plus three.
Subspace sonar operating normally.
5 minutes to the exceeding of the gravitational radius.
Vanishing motor connection prepared.
Start WARP,
Start WARP.
Commander's Room for Operation Carneades.
Entering subspace normally.
Spatial curvature propagation is normal.
Degeneration radar has begun functioning.
Course is normal.
Gravity force, ether wave all normal.
Success.
Commander in chair of the operation.
So far, everything's going smoothly.
Staff of the operation
We did everything we can do. Let's wait for God's will.
Well, yes. There's nothing to do but pray to God.
We must believe in miracles.
At the 4th vector from the stern, gravity quake detected.
Magnitude 7.7 degrees.
Something is warping out.
This is the Black Hole Bomb?
This is Buster Machine III?!
The scientific technology of human beings can build something that big?
So this is the center of the galaxy; space is white!
At last, At last, I am going to see...
Hooray!
Welcome to the Eltrium!
Oh!
Noriko!
Noriko!!
Thank goodness! I didn't expect to see you again!
well...
This makes me nostalgic for my youth.
I can't believe that it's been 15 years since then...
Oh, for you Noriko, it's only been 6 months..
Well, I've gotten older. Old people are always melancholy.
No big sis-... I mean Commander Ohta.
No, no, call me that like before. It makes me happy to be called that.
Oh, I have something to give you, from Takami..
what?
Oh... from Kimiko..
Noriko, how are you? I often recall my high school days with you..
My daughter who was 3 years old that last time will soon be 18.
It may be impossible for you to return while I am alive.
But, at least, please return while Takami is alive.
I will be waiting for you.
Take care of yourself.
Sincerely yours,
To Miss Takaya Noriko,
From your best friend Akai Kimiko.
P.S. I enclose my daughter Takami's picture.
Picture says, "Aunt Noriko, please come back soon."
"Aunt Noriko, please come back soon."
Kimiko... y Takami...
90 minutes until the operation starts
90 minutes from now, Operation Carneades will reach its final stage.
Jupiter, which is compressed in the core of Buster Machine III,
will begin the second Degeneration.
The 1st to 10th fleets.
For the 56 minutes and 32 seconds until the second Degeneration,
We must protect the main force.
The 11 to 20th fleets.
The 21 to 36th fleets.
When the third Degeneration starts, all fleets escape from the battle field by super-long distance WARP to Orion Bay.
Sizzler Silver (Mass-produced GunBusters)
This is the final operation.
The future of humanity depends on this battle!
We must WIN!
That is all!
All fleets to offensive positions.
All fleets open cannons!
Sizzler Silver, Sizzler Black, Sizzler White,
prepare for launch.
Mrs. Ohta,
yes..
You always get what I want..
Here you go. Coach and the Buster machine, both are yours.
Jung..
I still have a lot to talk about with you.. But it can wait until tomorrow. See you later...
Time schedule set on.
56 minutes 10 seconds to Implosion.
No. 107 battle ship Axion reports, "Enemy force recognized"
Number is approximately 6 billion in the measured area.
Surrounding us in all directions, approaching at 12% of the speed of light.
68 minutes and 20 seconds until contact.
Those bastards have arrived! If you come, I'll welcome you.
And show you what a cornered humanity can do.
55 minutes before implosion.
Daddy, the war that started with your ship will soon be over.
Please don't worry.
And then I will return, Takami..
Noriko..
I'll be in Machine II.
Big Sister..
Jung gave it to me, since this is the last operation.
32 minutes before Implosion,
All troops, departure completed.
All ships prepared for battle.
How about the Enemy?
The number has increased to 8 billion.
Surrounding in all directions.
43 minutes before contact.
Vice captain, do you believe in God?
No, I don't.
Well, I do.
Look. It's too short a distance for them to warp.
We will win by those 12 minutes.
That's called a miracle!
Miracle.. That's the word that God coined for us now.
Captain! gravity quake in Area 573D. Enemy WARP out.
That's impossible!!
Unbelievable! They can warp such a short distance!
They seem to be trying to ram the black hole bomb.
Oh, a special (Kamikaze) attack?
They are aware of the black hole bomb!
Intercept them! Don't let them in!
No good! Super-Exelion Class ships can't stop them!
Damn it!
30 second to Enemy's first attack.
Barrier - full power!
Enemies' first wave has contacted the Barrier!
Stop them!
It can't be!
They self destructed!
Too many Enemy... Noriko! Separate!
Roger!
Second and third wave coming!
Barrier destroyed, Damage unknown.
6th, 7th and 8th fleets, annihilated.
Enemy breaking through the mine field.
22 minutes to implosion.
I don't care what we have to sacrifice! We must protect the main force! 22 more minutes!
1,700 ships sunk. 4,500 ships damaged. 22,800 machines have not returned.
Buster Machine I, functional
And II, functional
And III, functional
3 minutes to implosion.
How many of us survived?
This ship and other 2,562 others.
We've done well.
60 seconds before the third degeneration.
All slaves activate.
40 seconds to reach Schwartz-Schultz radius.
Enemy's main force remains silent.
In spite of the damage, it is operating.
That's a ...
Miracle!
You all have done your best. Thank you.
30 seconds to implosion.
20 seconds to initiation.
All ships prepare for electro-magnetic and photon shock.
10 seconds until initiation.
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
What's wrong?
It's no good, only 98% of the slaves operated.
It can't be!
Insufficient mass.
Unless we create a chain reaction of Degeneration, the implosion will not begin!
We have failed.
Damn it!
Is this the outcome of this operation by all humanity?
No God? No Buddha?
Heaven has forsaken us.
The miracle did not occur.
The miracle will occur. I'll force it to.
Takaya, what are you going to do?
Buster Machine has a big Degeneration reactor!
That can prime (the chain reaction.)
No, we cannot allow a manned vessel to prime it!
Wait until we prepare an unmanned ship.
Before that, The Enemy main force will come, and destroy it.
Takaya..
Big Sister..
Commander Ohta, you too?
No. Now we have two Degeneration reactors.
Noriko, the remaining one will take us back to Earth.
Big Sister...
Let's go home to Earth together.
Yes.
There's no time. Transform and break through!
Yes!
We're counting on you.
That's Jupiter?
Yes. Compressed to one 30 thousandth.
8 minutes before Enemy's main attack.
All troops retrieved.
What about the Enemy?
Since the 14th wave, they've been silent.
No WARP expected.
In the next attack, their number will be over 12 billion.
A direct attack to finish us?
Surface temperature, 1600 degrees. Pressure outside 15600 tpm.
No problems. We can withstand it.
I'm coming too.
Jung...
No, go back!
Sizzler Black can't resist the pressures in Jupiter.
I don't care.
Jung..
Don't misunderstand us.
We aren't going to die. This is not suicide.
But, If you stay here... tens of years, hundreds of years later
I don't know when you could come back.
We couldn't be in the same time any more.
I know.
Then, why?
But, other people can be in the same time.
I don't want to make Takami feel such sadness.
I wanna finish everything.
Jung.. If you live, tomorrow will come.
Please tell Kimiko that I will return.
Then, see you later, Jung!
yes.
I won't say "good by."
I'm off.
See you later.
Noriko, Kazumi, when you return, I'll say "welcome home!"
I'm sorry.
20 until the center.
Communication becoming impossible.
GunBuster exceeding the pressure limit.
Please! Resist it! GunBuster!
buster beam disabled, buster collider disabled.....
Now, the buster beam, the buster collider, and the others
are all disabled.
Quiet isn't it? There is no other living creature besides us.
I am sorry, I brought you here..
I am happy to be with you, Noriko.
Slave generators at the center of Jupiter.
Here I go!
Entrust Big sister's life to me!
WAA!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry GunBuster..
Power off; Reactor No.1 maximum.
Start Degeneration!
Gravity Degeneration observed. It's GunBuster.
And Zero, two... passed through the critical point.
Noriko!
WAA!
Let's get out of here!
Restart confirmed.
Degeneration chain reaction observed.
Third degeneration started.
All ships evacuate. According to the schedule,
all ships super-long distance WARP.
Yes sir. All ships, prepare for WARP.
All ships, prepare for WARP.
Noriko, Kazumi, You must come home alive!
Sorry Kimiko... I can't see you again!
"May Mom see Aunt Noriko again!"
eh?
Mom, what's the matter?
eh? It's nothing. I... just felt as if Noriko was calling me.
Twelve thousand years later
The Solar System
Jul. 6th Sat., 14,292 A.D.
12,000 years later...
It's the Earth. Noriko..
I can't see where Okinawa is anymore...
Where are the human beings? I can't see any lights.
Was humanity destroyed after all?
Okinawa was around here...
Big Sister!
Yes. We have come home!
Thank you, GunBuster, .... good bye...
