Original subtitles

The train passes thru the darkness towards the sea of light

The boundless universe is full of dreams

Let�s walk across the suspension bridge

Anyone will search for his lucks like a traveler

Move forwards until encountering the star of hope

Someday you�ll meet the blue bird

This is Galaxy Express 333

We�re entering the central station in downtown

Slow down 18% Activate brake system in 10 sec

Year 2221

The traffic in the universe is fast and prosperous

The railways in the universe are extending into the end of the galaxy

T rains operating in the route of the earth and the planets are many

'' The Prelude''

Now there�s a new construction

of a modern metropolis

Due to the auto air condition system

everyone has lost their senses of hot and cold

As long as they renew components once in a while

they can live up to one or two thousand years

But most of those living in the metropolis

are the wealthy people who can afford buying mechanical bodies

And those who cannot afford

have to be driven out of the city and live in a poor life

One day, there is a rumor quickly spread among the poor

Once they get on Galaxy Express 999

they can get to the planet where they can get free bodies

Thus, many poor people

in an attempt to take Galaxy Express 999

Gather to the station in the metropolis

And here are a mother and a child

Who are ready to set out for the metropolis

Mom, look that is Galaxy Exp 999 over the mountain

The express is approaching the metropolis

Mom, one more day

That is Tetruso

But we can't get on the train as soon as it arrives

I know that

It costs a lot to take the express

Your father works so hard to save some money

Mom, cheer up

I�ll make a lot of money for you and Father

and buy you the tickets

Yes.. I should be glad

And I should work harder

Yes

Tetruso

Tetruso, be quiet

What�s happening?

Be quiet

Tetruso, run now

That's human

There�re people enjoy killing the poor around this area

What are you saying?

Tetruso, run now

Mom, cheer up

Let me help you

Mom

Tetruso, mom can't hold on

You go by yourself

What are you saying?

Did we have a promise to take the express together?

to the planet for free bodies?

I�ll take you there

Tetruso.. it�s too late now

You have to live for me

Live for your mom

Mom

For you mom..

Mom..

Tetruso.. I have to say goodbye

Mom..

Goodbye mom

Stop

Here

She�s dead?

Yes..

This the treasuries and beautiful human

Good for making samples

Take it back

One child is missing

What can we do?

Forget about him

What can he do in the snow day

He will be frozen to death

Mom..

Damn.. you'll see

I�ll take revenge for Mom

The serious storm.. makes me almost suffocated

I lost my senses of limbs I can't move

Mom, I' m sorry

I could move at will if I were a robot

It�s really troublesome to be a human

I hope I could be a robot in my next life

I..

This is..

You are awake, Tetruso

How do you know my name? Who are you?

My name is Meater

Meater?

You are almost frozen

You saved me?

Yes.. you drink first

Thank you..

You�re going to the metropolis but you' re in the wrong direction

I spent quite a long time searching for you

Why do you know I' m going to the metropolis?

When I tuned in to the modulated signals

I heard your conversation with your mom..

Mom..

I feel so sorry for you and your mom

You don't have to sooth me

Please tell me how to get to the metropolis

I�ll make a lot of money

and save money to buy a ticket for Galaxy Exp 999

Please tell me how to get there

I can give you the ticket

Ticket?

Yes.. this is the ticket

This is an unlimited ticket of Galaxy Express 999

Do you really wanna give it to me?

Right.. but with one condition

Condition

You have to go with me

This is the condition

So I can take Express 999

I�ll get the mechanical body

This is the meeting of the Lord of the robots

Lord of the robots

He is the one who killed your mom

Are they around?

Over there in the forest

Tetruso, what are you doing?

I wanna take revenge for mother

No.. come on

You'll have a group of enemies

Before going to the station I have to meet Lord of the robots

This is also the condition

Tetruso

Congratulations We have such a special thing tonight

This is priceless

When I make samples I�ll be careful

I won't let you do it

What are you doing?

You devil.. How could you kill my mom.. Die

Wait.. don't hit my head

You can do whatever you want.. Just don't hit my head

Or I can't fix myself

and I'll be dead

Mom..

Mom, good bye

That's Robot Cop

Don't move.. or I'll fire

Tetruso

Come on now

So you'll be wanted

Are there robot cops everywhere in the metropolis?

Probably

When will Galaxy Express 999 go?

12:00 in the midnight

Tonight

If I don't get on the train

I have to wait for another year

W e have to hide..

This is the only solution now

Let's hide in this hotel first before taking the train

Metropolis is really a good place

But I really wanna come with Mom

3 hours away from the departure

Take a rest now

I wanna take a rest

Mom, I' ll set out in 3 hours

Mom..

Maeter, you have to..

You have to watch that kids as if he were your shadow

You can't get too far

Yes, I see

Who is Maeter talking to?

That kid? Does that mean me?

If you don't wanna be dissolved into atoms

You have to remember

Maeter

What's wrong with you, Tetruso?

I' m sorry.. I hear some weird sounds

No.. just me

You heard wrong

I really heard something

Who is Maeter?

Cop.. open the door..

Tetruso, wear your clothes

Hands up.. slowly

Come to the door..

Close your eyes, Tetruso

Run now

Don't run

This side

That is..?

They�re the poor people who want to take Galaxy Exp 999

They don't have money to buy the tickets

Why did Maeter give me the ticket?

Tetruso, that is the metro station

Tetruso, Galaxy Express 999

You can't go back halfway once you get on the train

You get it?

Okay

I won't go home until I get my mechanical body

Galaxy Express 999 is going to depart now

Passengers of the train please proceed to Platform 99

Tetruso, quick

There's a warning area in this station

Is this the legendary Galaxy Exp 999?

Steam train?

I feel perplexed

F or those who can't come back

This kind of train is the best choice

Who can't come back?

I'll be back once I get my mechanical body

I will

Right

This is a universe express There are rails only in the station

I see

So beautiful

The bright areas are towns that robots live in

And there're places without lights

They are the places where poor people live

Take a close watch on that

Next time, you might not see it again with your human eyes

Papa, Mom.. I' m leaving now

I' m going to get my free body in the mechanical planet

I'll live for mom and papa

Tetruso is riding Galaxy Exp 999

on the endless railway

The planet he's heading for

What will that be? What will it be like?

Speaking of that

Tetruso he doesn't know that at all

The other end that the express rail extends to

is only an endless ocean of stars twinkling in the universe
