W-What?
Captain!
The central computer has completely shut down!
THE SOUL DRIFTS TO THE FAR ENDS WITH NO WORDS AT PARTING
Auto-navigation system is down! We can't move at all!
Arcadia.
Follow the same fate as the Twisted Rope's descendants.
Damn it...
They planned to trap us here and run from the beginning!
That's not all.
That thing affects the planet's axis.
They're planning to trap us here and destroy the planet!
That is an ominous thing that destroys civilizations.
It is a monster made by those who became Noo's servant...
...using the technology that we had developed.
It is programmed to disrupt every machine with a logic circuit...
...and endure until all civilizations in the universe are destroyed.
I had given up my life to seal it away in those ruins.
Engine, helm, and radio systems are active.
But the control systems are all down.
Inform all crew members.
Starting now, we'll act in place of the central computer's functions.
Roger.
From now, we will operate all systems manually.
Please think about what you can do with your tasks.
What does this mean?
- Let's go, my brothers! - Yeah!
Close the #3, #6, and #8 bulbs!
Needless thrashing will only make things worse!
Until further notice, stand by at 25% output!
Roger!
Let's go!
The pulsar cannon has been turned 30 degrees to the right!
Point the ship's bow straight up.
Port nozzle firing at 70%.
Minor adjustments will be made from the starboard nozzle.
The tip of the left wing is stuck and can't turn.
Can't we get the broadcast system back yet?
No, administrator control is denying terminal access.
Bring Order to Space
Transfer all controls to Interceptor 1.
What's with this TV?
Is it broken?
This is so hopeless...
To Miss Tomiko
Miss Tomiko, I apologize for leaving without a word.
You said that this planet was a great place to restart one's life.
I'm sure that is the case.
But I can't afford to live life over again so easily.
In man's long history, those that started wars or fostered battles...
...pushed tens of thousands of innocent people to their deaths...
...and lived after the wars as if nothing had happened.
I don't want to be one of those people that should be detested.
Hey, something's on!
What's that?
I am someone who made many soldiers die in the Sol system.
I am not allowed to live a peaceful life here.
The reason why that ship of corpses arrived on this planet...
...is for the dead soldiers to tell me I need to take responsibility.
I actually appreciate this fact.
Because it left me a way to live as a man.
What a surprise.
Their ship alone uncovered the secret to our recovery.
It's diving!
Ichiro, don't look away.
A real man is putting his soul into a fight.
Message from the interceptor!
Herlock, can you hear me?
You've always been reckless.
So you remembered.
I have no intention to ruin your battle.
I'm fighting them out of my own pride.
But I know I won't last long.
If you're planning to get out of there and chase this ship...
...follow where my soul leads.
That's about all I can do, I guess.
What's he doing?
Panopticon's warp tracking system...
...is locked on to that interceptor.
Oh, no...
He's about to...
You still can't get the rock off the left wing?
It's impossible to get more off!
Blow up the left wing.
Kei.
It looks like I made a mistake of which flag to fight under.
Herlock, if I could have...
...I would've liked to have fought under the same flag.
How futile!
He did it!
Ichiro...
Don't make a mistake with the flag you fight under.
Captain!
Preparations for the explosion are complete.
Engines to full!
Fire three simultaneous shots!
Ram it!
How did the descendants of our slaves gain so much power?
What is the meaning of this?
All terminal control systems are active again!
No damage other than the left wing.
No damage to the engine or propulsion systems.
Captain!
The central computer will not boot!
What?
No way...
Let me be all alone with the ship.
What exactly does the captain want?
To take us all off the ship like this...
But before that, to think that the central computer stopped...
Perhaps it will boot up again after Herlock talks to it...
Let's wait a while.
All crew have disembarked.
The only ones left are the ones in here.
I want all of you to leave the ship, as well.
Captain...
Why don't we trust Herlock with this?
Well, if you say so, Mimeh...
Yeah...
First Officer, can you lend me Professor Daiba's data?
Oh, you mean this.
Here.
Daiba.
I swore I would let you avenge your father's death.
Y-Yeah.
I still want to fulfill that oath.
But it may be a little later.
You can't do anything about it in this situation...
Captain, I...
No, never mind.
- First Officer! - First Officer!
Oh, where's Daiba?
Mimeh's not here, either.
Let's go, friend.
The Arcadia is starting up!
It's leaving us behind?
Oh, no!
We were fooled by the central computer!
What do you mean?
It pretended that it was shut down to get us off of the ship!
You mean that the captain is going to fight by himself?
Captain...
Thank you, Mimeh.
I would have gone anywhere in this universe with them.
But we're headed toward the universe's end now.
I can't let them come with me that far.
The warp footage system should be tracking the ship of corpses.
If we can intercept that footage...
Coming...
He's coming...
- There we go! - All right!
Why?
Why is he able to chase after me?
Captain!
You long for Earth that much, eh?
Then head to the Earth.
Captain!
The Arcadia is gone...
Final Episode
So it was you...
Why?
...THE END
