World Masterpiece Theater
Romeo's Blue Skies
TAKARA FANSUBS
"To the Sky..."
Overlooking the rows of houses and stores
from the highest vantage,
Such things as tears and sadness
will quickly vanish
The birds, wind, and sunshine...
...all are your friends
I'll carry this dream farther than far
...no matter the distance...
I long to fly freely
through the blue sky in my heart...
The far distant blue sky
It flows into tomorrow
The night before their departure for Milan, Dante devised a plan...
Although Alfredo and Romeo struggled to escape,
...they were caught, and the ship set out into the tempest.
Episode 6:
The Ship Sinks: Friendship Within the Storm
Row, dammit, row!
What're you doing, put some strength into it, you worms!
This boat is gonna sink!
Alfredo, can you swim?
The oar!
You worthless...
Stop it!
Romeo!
Row! Row!
If we go any further we're gonna capsize!
Turn back! Head back for the shore!
Keep going!
Cut the crap!
I'll not go through this hell just for you!
Alfredo, hold on to me!
I can swim. Don't let go!
Alfredo!
Where are you?
Alfredo!
Where are you?
Alfredo!
Romeo...
Alfredo, are you okay?
Yeah, Romeo.
Oh, good!
Thank goodness!
Romeo...
Piccolo, you're okay!
I wonder what happened to the others.
Someone's there.
It's the God of Death!
Let's save him.
Romeo...
Mr. Luini!
Romeo!
It's the shore!
Romeo!
Hurry!
Get him on top of that plank!
Right!
We made it.
Saved.
I wonder if he's alive.
Let's take off his overcoat.
His overcoat?
I read in a book once...
...that leaving someone wet in the open air after the sun goes down is dangerous,
He's alive!
Fold his arms in and out.
All right.
It's cold.
I'm sleepy but I can't go to sleep...
...my ears are still ringing.
Me too. And I'm still shaking.
Escape.
Now's the time if you want to escape.
Yes, but...
...I'm going to Milan.
I made up my mind when my father collapsed.
Romeo...
Why did you save him?
I didn't know what to do...
...then I remembered my dad's face.
Your dad's face?
My dad always said...
"A truly strong person will neither strike nor begrudge another."
"A truly strong person is someone who always has the strength to be kind to others."
So I thought Dad would probably have saved him.
So how about you, Alfredo?
Aren't you thinking of escaping?
I have nowhere to return TO anymore.
Nowhere at all.
My mom and dad are dead.
There's only Bianca left.
Bianca?
I'll tell you about it -- about Bianca and I.
My dad was wrapped up in his work and rarely came home.
My mom was always sick and stayed shut up in her room.
So we were always together no matter what.
We grew up within a whisper's breath of the other.
But then one day a terrible accident happened.
An accident?
From that day on, I wanted to keep Bianca from suffering.
And protect her.
That's what I swore I'd do.
Alfredo?
Yes?
I understand completely.
As brother and sister you had only each other.
But I was separated from Bianca.
Why?
It'll be light soon!
I want to become an adult very soon!
An adult?
I want to grow up quickly and learn lots of stuff.
Then I'll take Bianca away somewhere, together.
Romeo began thinking...
...how adult Alfredo was already, compared to himself.
He seemed to carry the weight of such dreams and hardships
...that Romeo could scarcely imagine.
Hurry! Get him on top of that plank!
All right!
I see you're awake.
Why did you save me?
Romeo is the one who saved you.
Romeo told me...
...it was because he was sure it was something his father would do.
The God of Death could not believe that Romeo would save him.
It's because of Romeo that we're both alive now.
God Himself will surely remember this.
Stay here.
But...
Wait!
There might be other kids who survived!
If we don't look for them, they...
It's pointless.
Don't say that!
Move!
Don't talk back to me!
You're regretting you saved me, eh.
Did you find any?
Nope!
Too much time has passed since we heard about the boat capsizing.
I'm losing hope for them.
How terrible.
I heard the boat was full of CHILDREN!
Children?
That's right.
They were being taken off by that "God of Death" flesh-merchant, Luini.
We oughtta give a bastard like that a sound thrashing or two!
But with that storm, there's probably not one left alive.
I'll go get wood.
All right, Piccolo...
Time to go to the church, I know.
Shoot! I've gotta get to the bell!
I'm a little mixed up!
I wonder where Alfredo went.
Where's the other one?
I don't know.
Get on.
We're getting out of this town.
Where did you get this carriage?
Did you steal it?
Quit blubbering. Get on.
No!
What!?
I'm not getting onto any stolen carriage.
It's because of Romeo that we're both alive now.
God Himself will surely remember this.
Romeo!
Romeo, are you okay?
We could have escaped easily!
But we didn't!
And now! Treating Romeo this way...
I'll never forgive you.
Romeo, let's go.
Let's go to Milan, the two of us.
We'll go to Milan. Count on it.
And we'll keep the contract.
Things'll turn out okay somehow.
If we work together.
Right, let's go.
You!
So, you're the one who stole my...
Say, what is it, is something wrong?
H-Hey!
Buy yourself a new carriage.
All this...!
Get on.
I want you to promise you won't hit us.
Romeo couldn't understand at all why the God of Death would act this way.
But, he felt that there was something...
...something deep inside the God of Death's heart...
...which had come to life.
The journey to Milan was nearing its end.
Romeo had no idea what kind of life awaited him in Milan.
And of those friends he believed drowned in the lake...
He was certain that he would never see them again.
The metropolis of Milan!
This is where my new life begins.
But Alfredo and I have to be separated from each other here.
I... I won't say it!
I won't say goodbye!
Next time: An Angel's Abode See you then!
