Go run through, just as your heart guides you
To the place of freedom which isn't shown on a map
In the town where a faint darkness settles
A crowd of people who hide their true faces
I struggled those days, but could not protect your smile
Soar above the sadness by piercing through
Shout out your passion
And take the pain along with you
To the future where you will meet your unknown self
What is this all about?
Prime Minister.
Coco, come over here quickly!
Coco?!
Coco...?!
Call an ambulance quickly!
Coco, can you tell him where you were kidnapped?
Tell him where you were kidnapped.
The toy floor of a department store.
I see.
You became a Melos warrior.
What is this all about?
The Mahoroba is underground.
After the 20th Century War ended...
it was restored from scrap parts of the Aibar machines.
However, the Mahoroba's power is sealed while the Electric Sheep...
are consuming energy from it.
If you kill the robot monster that controls...
the Electric Sheep, then it will be operational.
Can you guys operate the Mahoroba?
Yes, we can.
Listen...
as soon as the ship gets its energy back, it'll start moving.
But...
the ship will never be able to return to Earth again.
As Prime Minister...
I believed that I was protecting the people.
So did l.
You know, he might be your...
If we defeat the robot monster, we can activate the Mahoroba.
We may need to research it more.
The Mahoroba was just repaired...
as the docking portion of the space fortress.
Even if it could fly into space...
it doesn't have the ability to return to Earth again.
Therefore...
if we leave on the Mahoroba...
there is a strong possibility that...
we will never return to Earth.
Chapter 7
Tokyo Station
Episode 20
The Sun is Calling You
That and that...
And take all those crackers.
It'll be our food while we're in outer space.
We must depart right away.
I'm planning to come back alive.
In the worst case, I'll ride back on Hikari.
If you return from outer space on an Aibar machine...
you will interfere with the light space.
That means you run the risk of traveling dimensions...
into another world that exists parallel to ours.
Even if you were able to come back...
the Earth might not be the same as when you left.
You may never be able to see people again who were on Earth.
That's why I'm going with you guys.
You guys are all I have.
I see.
Excuse me, lady.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
Can you eat that apple?
It would be a waste if I don't eat it.
But, nobody else is eating.
What about you, lady?
You have been riding this train for a long time.
How many laps have you already made?
Ever since you got on this train...
I've been watching you.
I might be destroyed...
if I withhold something important forever.
I'm so nervous.
We'll soon be arriving at Central Station.
Central Station.
Don't worry.
You already know the answer.
This apple is a good example.
If you eat it, it'll disappear.
But, if you don't eat it, it'll rot and disappear anyway.
So, the best thing to do is to eat it while it's ripe.
Did you make the mask yourself?
Isn't it very similar to me?
Oh, you don't think so?
What are you doing here?
Now I belong to the supporting organization of Melos.
So, I came here to check the passengers of this loop train.
There's a rumor that the ape men on this train are Melos warriors...
but actually none of them are.
Except for you.
I saw your gallery.
You've become very successful.
You know, it's because I'm a popular artistic genius.
As we thought...
this ship won't be able to come back to Earth.
It's departing tonight.
What are you going to do?
Words won't even work in front of your eyes.
I was so foolish!
I didn't realize that your brightness will never fade.
I won't make you an Aibar machine that can't fly.
I'm going to outer space for your wings.
Oh, I'm sorry.
For what?
The SP who shot the Prime Minister was taken by the police.
Bocca, aren't they taking you away as a witness, too?
You don't need to worry about it.
The police can't arrest me anymore.
It's been almost a year since we first met.
Why do you have to start talking about our past?
I'm going.
I must stop the Monster Union's Silent Operations.
I'll leave the Earth on the Mahoroba.
They are trying to destroy the space fortress...
to disable all the Aibar machines in the world.
I must stop them, no matter what.
When are you coming back?
When?!
Will you marry me when I return?
If I'm able to come back, I'd come to see you first.
But if I can't come back, then...
Then...
How can you...
How can you think I will be waiting for you?
Why don't you just...
Just get lost! Go to outer space already!
Viva Monster Union!
It wasn't a good idea for you to kill the Prime Minister.
I'm not the one who did it.
It's very possible that they've already discovered...
the secret of the Mahoroba.
This is the A-class command.
You must kill all Melos warriors in the vicinity.
What the Prime Minister said was true.
If we defeat the robot monster that is controlling the Electric Sheep...
we can activate the Mahoroba.
Are you coming with us?
Yes.
You have courage.
The stolen Engine-2 has already started to move.
We should take action immediately.
I'll go and check the device for take off.
I'll go with you.
You know that this is the last chance to see those who stay behind?
Dear Bocca
Sayoko...
But can we find the robot monster that is controlling...
the Electric Sheep so easily?
It shouldn't be a problem.
That's the one.
That was eating the electric energy.
It's getting bigger.
Nick, can you prepare for take off?
It's huge.
Sayoko
Dear Bocca.
I'm writing a letter to you for the first time.
Since you were always with me, I didn't need to write to you.
Even when we were separated during your training...
I felt that you were still very close to me.
Bocca, you were the person...
I finally found who I could feel very comfortable with...
so I was very scared.
I was very scared when I thought...
that maybe you'd leave me someday.
I love you, Bocca.
I wanted to be with you forever.
I knew I might get in your way...
but I wanted to go with you.
But, Bocca, I know you are a Melos warrior.
The truth is that I am a really terrible girl.
Tokiko Tsukinomori was the one looking for me...
after I ran away from her house.
She is a very nice person.
She let me stay at her place and...
even kindly adopted me as her daughter.
I don't have enough arrows to shoot down all of them.
Tone!
You are late!
Sorry.
But, I knew that...
she was actually Kurofune's wife.
I don't know why, but Kurofune never gets old.
Since she's gotten older, their age gap has widened.
When I realized that, I became kind of happy.
I thought I had a good chance to make Kurofune mine.
So, I betrayed Tokiko who was very nice to me...
and left the house.
After that, I met you, Bocca.
That ring has the ability to reshape.
This robot monster is almighty!
I have been thinking that...
Bocca is a boy living in the world of the Sun.
I used to make fun of you...
because I thought your bad side would begin to show.
But your brightness never faded.
Sound of bowstring. Heart of serenade.
I was really happy...
when you told me that you wanted to marry me if you return.
Therefore, I have one favor to ask you.
Before you leave tonight, can we have a wedding ceremony?
It doesn't have to be a real wedding.
It's OK if it's just a fake one.
I just want to have a wedding with you.
I'll be waiting for you at the ceremony hall in the hotel.
Sayoko.
Now you must realize that you are in a dead world!
Simultaneous attack!
Even Coco's Four Card was repelled.
If we attack it from the same direction...
the ring's edge expands and repels your arrows.
But the ring can only handle one-dimensional movement.
And there are three of us here.
If we attack it from three different dimensions...
and since the ring can only do one-dimensional movement...
it won't be able to block us.
Let's do it!
Ring out!
My!
Melos!
Dear Sayoko.
Since you were always with me, I was able to come this far.
It's all because you were with me.
I want to marry you.
But, I have to leave the Earth now.
Keeping the memory of our time together...
I can fight alone, even in outer space.
I know it.
You are the girl who lives in the world of the Sun.
Damn Melos warriors!
Straight Flush!
Four Card!
Flush!
We did it.
What is it?
Over there!
I guess we've got the ticket.
Bocca!
Hey, the quiet voice is sounding so sad
Why are you hiding your loneliness
And just smiling silently in front of me?
Even the night I'm losing the courage
that tomorrow will come again
So, let's go as far as I can to look for new pain
If you would be by my side on the night I can't sleep
I wish for a new future, just to hold it, so I can continue walking
Forever
Next Episode
Even though this is an unarmed ship...
it must have some ability to fight.
The maximum time limit is 37 minutes and 33 seconds.
Let me take care of her!
