Zone of the Enders
What do you want? You show me!
A numbing kind of touchdown!
Don't! You can't beat me!
Even God, I don't know!
About tomorrow, no problem, this hot pulsing is burning blood
Oh! Let's go, fearsome things are
No way! Get off my way!
Know where we are going?
Zone of the Enders
Danger! Craving for the danger! Obstructing everything
Give me! Give me more danger! Just break through it
Times are so bad my head spins, but open the way with love and anger!

Uncle, how long do we have to move forward in this?
In a sand storm we can move forward without anyone finding us.
Just hold on.
It's about another ninety kilometers to Esxaton.
What? There's that many kilometers?!
When night falls, the open air will turn below freezing.
We have to get there by then, or. . .
Oh?
What's this?
Those are windmills for wind power generation.
It looks almost as if it's a grave.
What?
That's no good! Uncle!
I'll try really hard!
We'll count on you!
Please leave it to me!
Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow country men!
I, Rutger Tyushiaa, have asked you to allow me to stand here
for the sake of gratitude for the glorious liberation of Anteria.
Supported by your many sacrifices and your courage,
Anteria has been liberated from Earth's control, at last!
It is true that the voice of opposition to this battle loomed large,
but I could not dismiss Anteria as being the "fire on the opposite shore."
Why?
Because it was certain the horror of Anteria was
none other than the shape of our Mars' future!
To close one's eyes to Anteria was equivalent to destroying Mars!
This battle did not belong to any one person,
it was for ourselves! It was a fight for the sake of our future!
In search of our promised land,
we immigrated to Mars just eighty years years ago.
In that interval Earth has given us only
endless oppressive governments and merciless exploitation.
We must never forget the noble sacrifices we have made in this fight!
This fight is unmistakably the fight for the cause of justice!
I am confident that this conviction will lead us to a glorious victory!
Ladies and gentlemen!
The time for the true liberation we seek
has already come and is in front of our eyes!
I am thankful for those words.
Upper House Member Zack Dejiiru. . .
You!
Congratulations.
The liberation of Jupiter, Anteria, it was magnificent, wasn't it?
I'm surprised that a moderate faction parliament member
would go out of his way to come to a place like this.
I would like you to quit with that already.
You are acting as though your opinions are the wishes of all Mars.
So strict. . .
General, your actions ignore the parliament.
You are only uselessly pitting our Bascilia against Earth.
It's not useless.
Bascilia's Bufram isn't a mere decoration, correct?
Naphth Pleminger.
Bufram, of all things, is the true strength the people direct.
Is it not the hope of Mars?
You. . . Nereidum's. . .
The presumption of a mere weapons dealer!
Do you really believe we are a match for Earth if they are serious?
Of course, Mars has the power of magic.
They have Metatron, you know.
So what about it?
Excuse me.
But this is also one of the powers Metatron bears.
Our Nereidum's Metatron technology exists with Bufram.
The wastrels of Earth are thus insignificant, aren't they?
Oh? A butterfly orchid?
It's something I acquired from Earth.
I heard that you were partial to them, General, so. . .
It's a nice one. The plant life of Mars is so rough; it's no good.
It seems it must also be difficult curbing the parliament?
Your disagreements with the moderate factions are at a critical moment?
It's always the same.
But, in this war, we'll have Bufram destroy Anteria.
The current state of affairs is that the Jehuty seizure failed.
We are in a painful situation.
But if it's too much of an eye sore,
we'll have to dispose of the pesky bug someday.
"Pesky bug," you say?
That's right. I had something I needed to speak to you about.
Isis was sighted in the open sea off Kimeria.
Is that true?
I didn't think it would come all the way to Mars. James Links, wasn't it?
Even though he does have Isis in his hands,
he's completely underestimating us.
He means to rescue his wife, is that not so?
It's not that I don't understand his feelings.
What's going on with the new type machinery to replace Isis?
It is a bit on the late side, but we expect to complete it on schedule.
Please rest assured.
We can't wait until two years after.
Yes. That is why, in the interest of saving time,
I would like to recover Isis, no matter the consequence.
If you hesitate, there is the concern the plan will be detected by the Earth.
Before the parliament, we can't openly back you up,
but you've taken the appropriate measures, haven't you?
You have finished the reformation of the unit, haven't you?
Yes!
Have them standby in the vicinity of Bashiria.
I'm changing the plan.
Something has come up that I would like to have you do.
You're going to divert the moderate faction, aren't you?
But Isis is. . .
I will turn that over the Sobek.
I will take command.
Yes!
The time is drawing near. I'm counting on you.
It's a change of plans.
And the pursuit of Isis?!
Someone else will do that. It's no longer our work.
Then, at least let me continue the pursuit of Isis!
You may not! His orders are absolute.
He was too soft.
From childhood, he followed after me.
From the time we've shared the same face,
I thought you were prepared, but. . .
This feeling from having murdered my younger brother!
I have no intention of telling anyone to understand!
You!
Are you saying that you threw away the proof of our vow?!
You idiot!
I've known from the start that I'm an idiot!
But I'll take revenge for my younger brother!
The idiot. . .
Sobek, preparations for take-off have been completed.
Prepare to launch orbital frames from the ship.
Hey, hey! This crappy thing's. . .
Supposed to be Esxaton, but. . .
People, I wonder if people live here?
When I came here a while ago, it wasn't like this, but. . .
I'm alive again!
It was hot! Maybe I'll cut my hair.
What's this?
It's corn.
The gravity's weak, so they get like this.
Wow!
Can you eat that?
This kind of thing will only make fertilizer, right?
Is that true?
Pete?
Oh. . .
What's wrong?
Pete. . .
I'll go find him.
Pete!
Leon, let's look for a car.
Yeah, all the way to Bashiria the way we got here?
I couldn't take it.
Well, what should I be doing?
That's right.
Please find Pete with Noel.
Yes!
After monster corn, a jungle?!
What a weird place!
I wonder what happened that there are no people?
Oh!
This, can't we use it?
That's right.
Who are you?!
Hey, what happened?
Esxaton didn't used to be like this before.
There were more people and there was an energy.
Nothin' happened. It's just that they all left.
It seemed it was too much trouble to make a living here.
Then why don't you go away?
Don't you think it's kinda weird being here all alone
with just a kid in a place like this?
What would a youngin' understand?
It's not that they left because they wanted to leave.
But this kid's parents left here too, right?
Why didn't they go to get. . .
Shut up!
You! Have you ever plowed the dirt of Mars?!
We plowed this Mars at the peril of our lives!
Even if it's land where only that kind of corn will grow!
Spent fifty years and finally we got that much!
This kid's parents are sleeping there too!
There's no other place to go!
I'll give you the trailer outside, so hurry up and get out!
How about it? Does it look like we can use it?
Yeah, it's all right. It looks like we can use this one.
And Leon?
Brother? He was around there until just now, but. . .
That so? I'll go look for him a bit.
The graves of that kid's parents?
Probably . . .
Dad, I wonder what just a geezer and a kid
are going to do in a place like this alone from now on?
Don't know.
But towns like this aren't rare on Mars.
What?
The Earth sends surplus populations to Mars and continues development.
They're trying to change the planet's environment,
so a lot of unreasonable things happen.
That kind of shifting the loss to someone else shows up in places like this,
but the government of Earth turns a blind eye to it.
But that's horrible!
But that's the state of affairs on Mars.
It hasn't changed since they started colonization.
What's with her?
What's with you? Taking all those pictures?!
I've received permission from the state of Kimeria's governor.
See?
Gaia Times?
Then you're from Earth?
Say, would you get down on your knees like before?
Because it was a really perfect picture.
What?
Here!
Here. Here, here!
What?! Are you saying this isn't enough?
This would be a month's wages here!
Martians are pretty greedy, aren't they?
Let's go.
Just a minute! Wait a minute here! Don't you need this?!
What's with that lady earlier?
Pitiful stories on Mars must make good material on Earth.
That's awful.
Uncle!
She!
Really! That's really some talent you got there, Missy!
Right?
What's that?
You are. . .
Ryuu!
Are you all right?!
Leon! Run to the far sphere with Grampa and the boy!
Got it!
My field is burning!
Grampa, quickly!
Oh! That idiot!
What are you doing?
Noel! Please!
What?
Wow! Amazing! Just amazing!
"Unidentified Robots Battle it Out on Mars!" This'll sell!
Hey! What're you doing?! You'll die of suffocation!
Really!
Missy, here isn't good. Go outside!
Get in quick!
Yeah!
What?
Get in, first!
"The son wants to leave the village.
The father stoutly refuses.
Persuasion fails.
The son slumps his shoulders in disappointment."
This is good. This is it!
"A tear-filled farewell to his younger brother!
I'm going to run towards tomorrow!"
Ouch!
We're going!
What're you doing?! Really!!
Missy, run to the windbreak, direction 2 o'clock!
Yes!
I have no intention of leaving this place.
Because this is our land, you know.
This is bad. I can't pull away!
What?
Bad!
What's that?!
That? I can do that!
What's that explosion?!
Are you all right, Missy?
Oh, yes.
But please let me rest a while.
I'm begging you, pilot. Be alive.
This is. . .
Still just a kid, isn't she?
A flying ship, dreams of a journey grown cold
My memory returns inside the brilliant light
When enfolded in the gentle breeze
Frozen eyes melt, time begins to move
The bells rings, ring on, ring on
This Earth awakens life
And then it shines, ring on, ring on
Ring on, ring on, the world
