We were tired just dreaming.
Our paths have finally crossed.
Yes, let's stand up.
People point their fingers.
Strangers make fun of us...
It is all right.
They can say all they want.
We're looking at the same morning sun that was there when we promised...
...and with the same ambition.
It will come true...
Because I know it is our destiny.
It's only a dream...
A little revolution...
Right now we just have to shout with one arm in the air.
It's only dream...
A bright future...
This joy...
This pain...
I can't give it up.
It is a place where the dying men don't complain.
But it's also a place where men would rather kill than die.
Gun Frontier.
Damn, not another sandstorm!
Our horses are going to die again.
It is not exactly rare occurrence in the West, we'll have to deal.
Hey!
Hey there!
Hey, did I just hear a scream?
Who would open their mouth to scream in a sandstorm?
Hey!
Ouch!
Our horses stepped on something!
Damn it!
Couldn't these stupid horses hear me scream?
Were you the one screaming?
Yes, I'm lost, I'm going to die...
If you help me, I will be indebted to you.
I'll help you, come on up!
I really appreciate it.
You guys are headed for Midland City, right?
Yeah.
I thought I wasn't gonna make it.
I am Oliver Winchester.
You guys are saints, angels, like God Himself!
I am Tochiro, they are Harlock and Sinunora.
Hey, your skin must be pretty sensitive...
...if a little sand scratched you up so badly.
Oh no, I was mixed up in an affair.
It was quite a terrible one, as a matter of fact.
Anyway, a beautiful woman like Ms. Sinunora is hard to find.
I bet you've been mixed up in a different kind of affair, too!
That is right.
I love women!
Well, well!
I'll go check it out!
No, idiot!
Hey, Tochiro!
It's not like he ever listens to me...
We have no idea what could happen to him.
I always have to...
...examine things closely, that's my weak point.
Well, it was worth coming!
May your soul rest...
Tochiro!
Stay still, there are too many.
Because of this sandstorm, it seems they haven't noticed us.
I guess it was worth waiting.
Is he the husband?
Who else but the husband would come to a place like this?
Round face and short legs...
It must be him!
The shot only grazed his skull.
He's not dead yet.
I have a big score to settle with this guy.
Letting him die quickly wouldn't be any fun.
All right, we are going to play with him tonight!
Then we'll hang him in the square at sunrise.
They said they'll hang him in the square at sunrise.
He is going to be executed!
Hey, how can you hear so well in this sandstorm?
I'm just used to it.
Tochiro left this thing back here.
Oh no!
He screwed up again!
He dropped everything for his curiosity.
Hey, this is one great looking saber!
This is amazing!
Everything about Tochiro is amazing.
I have never seen such a great saber...
Oh wait, I've seen one once before...
Do you have some knowledge of steel?
A bit...
The only ones who can make such a saber are from that tribe...
Wait, it can't be that Tochiro is...
...a Ghost Westerner!
I'll shut up now!
The one saber I saw before was my teacher's.
I was a good friend to her...
I am not an enemy.
You said they were going to hang him in the square at sunrise...
That is right...
Oh, can you drop me off here?
Here?
The bank is definitely closed.
Harlock, Sinunora!
I am the kind of man who never forgets a debt of gratitude.
You got that?
Don't worry about it.
Hey!
Open up!
Open, open!
What a strange guy...
I feel bad, because of his "accident."
I wonder where Tochiro was taken.
No idea.
We don't even know where to start looking.
Let's wait until he is brought out in the open tomorrow morning.
You're right.
Why don't we get some food and rest for tomorrow's battle.
I have a perfect room for you two, room number 69.
I've heard a rumor that someone will be hanged tomorrow, is it true?
Yes, the execution starts at seven in the morning.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am sure.
Folks in town were so excited to see it...
...they had to make it as early as possible.
Get me something to eat, please.
This town isn't too safe, you know.
I recommend you keep your pistol ready at all times.
Of course, I'm sure your other pistol is loaded and ready!
I hope Tochiro isn't getting a raw deal.
He won't die so easily.
I've heard that he grew up tough in a harsh world.
Really...
Because of his round-face, glasses and bowlegs...
...everyone would call him names.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe it either.
It is all part of Tochiro's charm, don't you think?
I am sure he will be happy to hear that.
You are such loyal friends, the two of you.
Friends, huh...
Destiny can be a funny thing.
Why?
Can you believe...
Tochiro and I first met as enemies.
His country was war-torn.
Foreign ships tried to take advantage of that and rushed in...
...to make a profit smuggling.
I was a pirate.
I wasn't going to take sides.
But I couldn't stand the dirty ways of those smugglers.
As violent battle erupted...
I became totally confused...
...about whom I was fighting against.
And...
...before I knew it, I was drawing a sword to fight against Tochiro.
In that moment, I just knew.
To meet Tochiro, and to live beside him...
...was my destiny.
Since then, we've been through a lot.
Tochiro was interested in coming to study the great West.
So, I brought him to America on my ship.
I wonder why Tochiro saved you.
I don't know.
He didn't say a word, he just smiled.
There is no reason, perhaps.
These scars he gave me are proof of the bond between us.
That is what I believe.
Sinunora...
I thought you and Tochiro...
Tochiro is not here now.
Are you going to let that bond come between you and me?
I don't think I like that.
What about Tochiro...
We still have time until the morning.
Finally, we can hang you tomorrow.
I am so excited.
I can't believe an ugly midget like you could keep so many mistresses!
You got some nerve wearing clothes and gun belt like that.
Let's strip him down!
Yeah!
Pigs shouldn't wear clothes!
Shit, it looks like some parts of him aren't small.
You, take this...
And take that!
You've got something to say, four eyed midget?
Cowards!
Why don't you fight me one on one...
I can't hear ya...
Sorry...
You took so long, now I don't feel like it.
You're kidding...
Why did you come to this town?
Well, to meet a guy who has a lot of mistresses.
The guy is connected to Tochiro's people, right?
Yeah, Colorman is his name.
Colorman?
A group of female peepers?
You were taking too long...
I know, we're tired of waiting.
I am sorry.
We didn't mean to, but the wall was so thin and had so many holes.
That doesn't give you permission to peep, though.
Anyway, I am glad it wasn't him that was caught.
I was shocked to hear that he would be hanged tomorrow in the square.
Are you all Colorman's women?
Yes, all of us are supported by him.
The sheriff of this town hates us for it, though.
What do you mean?
They can't stand the fact that...
...a short, round-faced man like Mr. Colorman is keeping so many mistresses.
So the sheriff killed and hanged his wife to use her as a decoy.
So you are saying Tochiro was mistaken for Colorman?
It is no joke!
We'll get to see Colorman sooner or later.
But now we must stop them from hanging Tochiro!
Harlock!
What's the matter?
Tochiro!
Damn it!
They already did it?
Hello, again!
Are you thinking of making a raid on the Sheriff's office?
I bet you are.
You're going to take revenge for Tochiro, right?
Then use these bullets, okay?
I'm a man who never forgets a debt of gratitude.
All right, I got that.
Go get 'em!
Tochiro, I am sorry...
Look at your face, why do you look so happy in death?
Come on, make a more serious face.
I can't avenge this face.
I'm taking you down now.
Just wait...
You must be with Colorman!
So what if I am?
Take this!
The iron door...
What is this bullet?
It's amazing!
What the...
It is all over, Mister.
It was very careless of you to overlook us.
We'll pump you so full of led, you'll weigh as much as a mountain.
Tochiro, wait for me, I'll follow you...
Tochiro!
You call yourself men?
What I saw yesterday...
...was not the act of men!
Great job, well done!
You owe it all to me.
This barrel's full of gunpowder!
Tochiro!
Why are you alive?
I thought you were hanged!
The thing is...
Winchester's powder plant blew up!
How many accidents does he have to cause?
What an idiot!
Damn...
Are you okay?
Huh?
So, that was the trick.
I bought off the hangman.
It's you!
I am a very rich man.
I forced the Bank to open last night to get some cash.
The bullets I gave you had amazing power, right?
They are still in the experimental stage, but I bet they'll sell.
Experimental stage?
You made me a guinea pig?
I was so excited to see you fire that bullet...
...that I dropped my cigarette into the powder barrel.
An accident again...
That is a man-made disaster, not an accident...
In any case, I repaid you for your kindness!
Mr. Colorman!
What a tragedy that he got mixed up in this and killed in the explosion!
Colorman must have been there to watch Tochiro get hanged.
He didn't even try to help Tochiro, who was caught in his place.
It is divine punishment for him.
I heard he's sold off twenty women who came from my country.
I was hoping to get some clues from a guy who knew that many women.
If twenty of them were here, then there must be more.
Right, Tochiro?
Right.
But let me tell you...
The bullets are good for nothing.
I fired one shot, and my gun was ruined.
Really, the gun couldn't handle the bullet?
The bullets that Ms. Shizuku made are so powerful, it's amazing...
Tell me more, tell me more now!
It is called a "Tekko bullet."
After the mass-production at my plant...
...I was going to sell them to the military.
I am not asking that!
Where did you meet Shizuku, my sister?
That was when I was still in the Organization...
She taught me about steel and mixing powder.
The Organization?
You are one of Dark Myster's also?
No, I'm out!
I already left the organization...
You're choking me!
Tochiro!
I really don't know Shizuku's whereabouts.
Dark Myster enlisted many skilled Ghost Westerners by force.
Ms. Shizuku was one of those who disappeared.
Please be alive, Shizuku...
Take this wagon as a farewell gift.
I appreciate it.
I still can't believe that you were in the organization...
Those guys were using science and technology only for horrible things.
I withdrew from the organization because I hated that.
I assure you that people at this place will be on your side.
Thank you.
I still think the world would be a safer place if you weren't in it.
I will die one of these days.
What's this?
Who in the world are those people?
It is a place where men can die anytime...
Where tears...
...shed by one true man for another soak into the red earth.
Gun Frontier.
Gun Frontier...
Where brutal, dirty and coldhearted men...
...are watched quietly and pitied by the barren mountain wasteland.
Next episode...
The Midget in Misery.
You are here, on this planet...
Even our days...
...are trembling just a little.
Worrying, wondering...
Can't find an answer.
Rain keeps coming down...
Somebody falls like a shooting star, somebody comes into the world today...
Like a prayer, time takes care of all.
Please once more...
In the rain, hold my hand...
...and search for tomorrow.
Just little bit longer, over my heart, open an umbrella.
Rain keeps coming down...
