Original subtitles

Looks like our princess is sound asleep.

Yeah, she seems completely tuckered out.

I pity her.

If it wasn't for Giros, she'd be living the blissful life of a princess.

Father...

Emeralda... If I were to die, pay a visit to the magical swordsmith; Mizuna.

Father, don't speak of such things.

Listen well.

I have opposed Giros.

One day I am sure to be killed.

I just wish for you to live on.

This item that Mizuna will pass on to you will surely save you.

I see! So this Cobra fellow snuck into my castle in search of my treasure!

Correct.

That's amusing.

Lord Giros, I have captured a suspicious woman.

She seemed to be waiting for someone at the air-car station.

Well, well... If it isn't one of my cute dancing girls!

Now that I think about it, you have a secret passageway in your room.

You can reach the treasure house using it.

Which means... The one who helped Cobra was...

Forgive me, Lord Giros!

Find him! Search for Cobra!

I cannot allow anyone to live who would aim to steal my treasure!

Yes, m'lord!

L-Lord Giros...

Nuba. Why are you standing there?

Come out!

This is not a body I should show you...

What's with your body?

Someone kidnapped Princess Emeralda...

And that person did this to my body.

What? The princess?

Was this Cobra's doing?

No. If you are referring to the Cobra with a bounty on his head,

then I know his face from the wanted posters.

The man who abducted the princess had a bigger nose and a sissy looking smirk.

I don't care who it was, find the princess at once!

As long as that woman is alive, more people will gather around her that would stand against me!

The passage that goes to the experimentation room where the princess was held also led from your room.

And to think I bestowed favor upon you!

Die!

Please wait!

If you wish to search for that man and the princess, then I Nuba, have a clever idea.

I'll use that woman...

Leave Cobra to me!

I will dispose of him myself.

With a wound like that, he cannot have gotten far.

Seems he ran off into the Forest of Silence.

Damn it, that evil forest!

Be careful! They say monsters live in this forest!

The water... The water is eating people!

What's with this forest?

The forest is attacking!

Run!

There's no way that he survived in this forest.

Retreat back to the castle!

Wait! Wait!

He's not a bad person.

We can tell.

Yes, we can tell.

He is not a bad person.

Who are you?

We are part of the forest.

This forest is one giant living thing.

The trees, the water and us...

We will heal you using our life-power.

Until you are healed, we will protect you.

I see? You've got their smell?

Go search for them!

I know it is run-down, but please endure it for now.

There are many people in this town who resist Giros.

If they knew you were alive Princess, they would surely gather around you.

You're our only hope.

Anyway, I have to return to the bar.

I'll go prepare some food for you to eat down below.

Would you come down later, Joe?

You can listen to my singing.

Sure. After we're done eatin' I'll take a nice long listen.

Then, please relax Princess.

So, what should we do now?

If you gather allies in this town...

Before that, I have some place I must go.

The place of my father's last request.

Take me with you, Princess!

You called yourself Joe Gillian, yes?

Who exactly are you?

Why in the world did you save me?

My real name is Cobra.

You might not believe me, but I came from the future to save you.

Indeed, I do not believe you.

Doesn't seem like it.

One lump of sugar and no milk, if I recall.

You don't mind cigars.

It's a Turkish cigar, the same brand your old man smoked.

You know a lot about me, don't you?

Yes, I know everything about you.

Like the moles in the shape of the southern cross

on the back of your neck, hidden by that beautiful hair of yours.

Who the hell are you?

I told you!

I came from the future to save you!

That can't be!

Layla!

Layla!

H-Hey, we're closed!

P-Paloma...

Okay, I've brought food.

W-What in the world?

Paloma!

Paloma...

Kill them!

Kill both of them!

Hold on tight!

You asked who I was...

Looks like I'm a harbinger of death!

Every woman that gets involved with me seems to end up dead.

But!

But you, I will protect!

I won't let you die, no matter what!

Those eyes, deep like a lake... Pupils emerald green, seeped in sadness...

But sometimes there sparkles withing them the radiance of a killer.

Go! I'll handle things here!

Go, Lady!

Who are you?

When I look into your eyes I see my own fate.

Like the only one who can protect me in this world is... you!

Only you, the man who calls me Lady...

Follow the me from the past!

He'll protect you!

A living forest, huh?

Forest, your threats mean nothing to me!

A darksword wielder? You have impressive skills.

So you were here, Cobra.

I thought I opened up a nice big hole in your chest.

Weren't you a total goner?

My body is equipped with a homing device.

If I am in trouble, I will be transported back to the castle in an instant.

Sounds convenient. Did you buy that from a mail order catalog?

And you... What happened to your wound?

Some pretty nurses healed it for me.

You're the magical swordsmith, Mizuna, right?

Yes. And you are Princess Emeralda, yes?

Why do you know my name?

Your eyes remind me of your father's.

This is the magical sword your father asked I make for the Principality of Sanborn.

Take it.

Giros is immortal.

However even that monster has a weak point.

This sword should teach him that.

Thank you very much.

I will turn the sword into a tattoo and take it with me.

The Black Hole Diamond.

A galactic wonder created by the hands of the ancient gods.

It holds mysterious power... They say inside it lies a small black hole.

With that jewel and the magical sword I am sure she will be able to defeat Giros.

Fool! That's my shadow!

Die!

It... It can't be!

The psychogun's beam can be bent.

I wonder if he can revive himself after having his head blown off?

So, Manidou was defeated?

Fine then. Cobra will come back to my castle in search of the treasure.

That's the way a thief like him operates!

Just you wait, Cobra!

This is the treasure house.

It seems like I have found an incredible treasure.

Who are you?

A pirate, come to wake up the sleeping princess in the forest.

Pirate?

Those eyes...

Yes, those eyes!

He said that his past self would protect me, didn't he?

You're Cobra, aren't you?

How do you know my name?

Don't move, Cobra!

Giros!

Move and I'll crush this woman!

Women are your Achilles heal!

I knew you would come back here.

Let me teach you the fate of those who dare to steal my treasure!

They...

...die!

Where did that come from?

Who?

Back then, I felt like there was a person standing high up on a mountain far away.

So... That was me?

How do you plan on escaping from here, Cobra?

It's coming to pick me up right now.

See? Here it is.

Now...

Futile!

That woman can't escape from me!

She'll always keep returning here!

What?

The Black Hole Diamond.

If someone other than me holds it, the black hole sealed inside it will be released and everything will be sucked up.

The castle disappeared!

It was sucked up into the black hole.

So, where to Lady?

Wherever you wish, pirate Cobra.

I remember why Lady's body is disappearing!

I remember it all!

Cobra! Cobra!

I'm...

Are you okay?

You drowned inside the time dome.

Where's Lady?

Over there.

Cobra, it's no use.

I...

Lady!

Cobra...

She disappeared!

What are you going to do, Cobra?

Don't worry.

I know where she should be.

Entering the Jahara star system.

Set course for coordinates R227.

Understood.

A distortion can be seen in that area of space.

A microscopic black hole has been detected.

That's it!

Turtle! Standby at the entrance to the black hole!

I'm...

...going to enter the black hole!

Danger! If you enter it, you will not be able to return.

I wonder about that?

Let's give it a shot!

There it is!

It's Giros's castle!

Lady, I knew it. You've returned here.

Manidou said that he had a homing device installed

so that he could always be transported instantly back to the castle.

This is the homing device.

It's locked onto your genes.

Giros stuck one of these on you too,

so that even if someone stole you from his castle, you'd always return.

It's true that the device was activated immediately, but there was an accident!

He didn't expect to be sucked into a black hole.

It should have transported your body here in an instant,

but because of the warping of time, it took 20 years for you to return here.

That's the reason why your body was disappearing!

Now you are free.

You won't return here ever again.

W-What's this?

Giros?

Time is moving in reverse!

Giros... It's been 20 years.

20 years? Is that how much time has passed on the outside?

In here there is no concept of time.

Time is stopped.

But I have not been biding my time.

Look at that!

It's a device to break out into space-time.

I finished it long ago.

But for some reason it would not work!

Do you know why?

When the black hole was unleashed, you and that woman were here!

Unless the situation was the same as it was then, I could not activate the device!

But, you have returned!

And I can activate the device and return this castle to the space-time it came from!

Sorry, but the only place you'll be returning to is hell!

Fool!

Did you forget that I am immortal?

You can't unsheathe the psychogun!

If you do, you'll fall into the lava!

Cobra!

Lady!

Cobra!

Giros got his power from the lava.

That was the secret to his immortality.

It looks like the magical sword sealed that power.

So, now that our business is done, shall we go back?

Time is returning to the past.

To that time...

Cobra, the place we should return to is not the past.

It's the future.
