Original subtitles

The Toward Stars world where Gene operates is a vast one.

On the reaches of the frontier, far away from the central areas,

four great pirate groups vie for supremacy.

It is one of these four that is after the Outlaw Star and Melfina.

The pirates of the Hoppo system, called the Hundred and Eight Stars,

are the most brutal member of the Chinese Guild.

Led by the Tendo King, it is comprised of groups of ten or twenty.

The leaders of these groups control independent organizations...

...and pursue their own interests.

The boss of the pirates who now pursue Gene is called Hazanko.

He has great influence within the Hundred and Eight Stars,

but because of the extent of that power, his organization,

and the power of the methods he employs to achieve his goals...

...it is said that the other leaders consider him their superior.

It is also said that the squads that carry out his orders...

...use a super power called senjutsu,

and always slay those who stand against them.

I won't let those go, no matter what.

On those nights where you can't settle down no matter what you do,

nani mo kamo nagedashitaku naru

...you feel like throwing it all away.

Don't say a word, just open the door.

I don't have time to quibble with you.

I wanna fly all over the place, I wanna throw caution to the wind!

What is it that you want? What'cha you wanna do? Where you wanna go?

Grab what you want and rip through the dark as you run through the night!

yami o saite hashiri nukete tsukamitore Through The Night

You ready, Gilliam?

Everything is okay.

Let's do it...

Bringing all sensor systems online.

CFS, activated.

Subspace radar, activated.

All sensors functioning normally.

Ether drive system, activated.

Gravity control system, activated.

Sub ether drive system, activated.

Navigation system activation verified. All systems green.

Gravity cycle unit, activated.

The Newton reactor comes first.

Damn!

Newton reactor now activating.

Sub reactor 1, operational.

Number 2, operational.

Number 3, abnormal.

What?!

Output falling.

70.

- 50. 30. - Uh... What do I do, again?

Run a power balance with the remaining reactors.

This one, right?

Reactors 2 and 4, output rising.

120.

130.

140.

160.

180.

They are about to explode.

What?!

T-minus-10 to critical.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

- Six. - Hey, Gilliam!

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Another failed liftoff, I see.

You're the one who screwed up!

I keep running into trouble every stinkin' time!

Preparing for unexpected situations is what simulations are for.

If you're unable to manually respond to a small problem like this,

a liftoff is probably out of the question for the time being.

Bite me!

Well, the ship hasn't been completely fitted out yet,

so I suppose there's no rush.

Oh, well...

Looks like I'd better get to it.

Creeping Evil

Welcome back!

Anything happen while I was gone?

No, not really.

Where's Jim?

At the police station.

The police station?

Yes. They impounded his car, apparently.

The Ehefrau, huh?

That's what he said.

That sort of thing doesn't happen in Locus too often.

I don't like this. Something fishy's going on...

Gene! I found her! I found her!

She's safe and sound!

Ehefrau, I'll never leave you again, baby...

Yeah, I don't like this...

They said she racked up too many parking tickets.

I tried as hard as I could to come with with an excuse.

You should've just told 'em that we were attacked by pirates.

No way! They never would've believed me.

You wouldn't believe how much the fines and towing costs came to.

What'll it be?

Gene! You two are still alive?

It's good to see you, too, Clyde.

I heard that pirates were after you, so I just assumed...

Gene!

Thank goodness!

Hey, nothing happened.

I've been so worried about you!

You say the sweetest things... That's a good girl.

Get your hand off her ass.

What have you been up to? It's been two weeks!

It's a long story, so I won't tell you.

You're so mean!

Huh? Who's this?

Melfina. A new friend.

Iris!

Coming!

Clyde, has anyone been asking about us?

Questions they shouldn't be asking?

There were some after that dust-up in here, but nothing unusual.

I really don't like this.

What's your problem?

It's nothing.

It seems like so long ago, but it hasn't even been two weeks...

So, what now?

The rest of the containers from Fred should come tomorrow.

We have to get the Outlaw Star into perfect working order.

That'd be nice, but...

But what?

To be blunt, we're broke.

Say what?! But what about our account?

We pretty much used it all.

Those spaceport usage fees really hurt.

Oh, shit!

One! Earn money the hard way.

I wouldn't have time to work on the Outlaw Star.

Two! Earn money the easy way.

Clyde! Have any big bounties turned up lately?

No, not since you took down "Death" Rob.

Three! Earn money the sleazy way.

How?

Sell your body or something.

We'd get more money for yours.

Three's a bust, then.

Four! Pay when we make it big!

- Who'd agree to that? - I dunno.

I don't offer credit here.

Then it's gotta be #1, then, right?

What about the Outlaw Star?

I'll leave that to you. I'll earn us enough to live on for the time being.

I dunno about this...

Um...

If there's anything I can do, please tell me.

Are you any good at cooking eggs?

I... I've never cooked before.

Then learn how. You're on kitchen duty, Melfina.

All right.

Yeah, there's nothing as relaxing as a town you're used to living in...

Yeah, I guess...

But we'll be setting out soon.

Yeah...

Where should we go? How far should we go?

It's nice to look up at the sky, but let's watch our step, okay?

Things are gonna get tough tomorrow.

Yeah, I know.

What's wrong? You can't sleep?

No.

I bet you wish bio-androids didn't have to be that human, huh?

You're right.

Geez, I don't understand anything around here...

Let me stay like this until I fall asleep.

When I do this, I feel like I can dream, too.

What do you think you're doing, you scumbag?

I, uh... I just thought I'd see how human she really is.

How human she is?

Mel's more human than human.

Jim!

She's like a mom...

The engine covers aren't regulation parts, so please replace all of them.

How about helping out a little, huh?

If we were in zero-G, I would be able to perform heavy labor,

but I'm powerless in this gravity.

Then work on the interior!

I am, of course.

Please perform a check later.

All right, all right...

Mister Starwind!

What?

We need to talk. Could you come to the business office?

I knew it...

Give me a minute.

Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat. Boil down until heated through.

This thing's a goner!

I'll have to put in a new engine or buy new parts for just about everything.

If I had that kind of money, I'd take it to a dealer.

Yes, sir! I understand!

This is when Starwind and Hawking Enterprises does its thing!

Actually, we have an engine that we came across.

Of course, we'd charge far less than any dealer!

I knew it! I knew I could count on you!

You bet!

I thought I asked you to pay all of the dock fees in advance!

If you're going to be here a while, you need to pay for that, too.

We've paid you for the next three days, right?

I see you haven't applied for launch clearance.

We'll pay you any overage, okay?

How much longer will you be here?

I'm not sure. Let me think...

Warning! That is not the captain!

Gene!

Gilliam! What is it?

It's an intruder!

Welcome back!

Gilliam! Where's the intruder?!

He's escaping via elevator 2!

Gene! Above you!

Bastard! Come back here!

I come to visit Gene Starwind, and what do I find?

The most interesting people are trying to kill him...

Are you a Kei pirate?

Don't interfere.

That's my line.

Gene Starwind is my prey.

Stand clear.

A-All right.

I'll say it again. Don't interfere.

In that case, this will be a fine opportunity to put Gene in my debt.

I finally got to blow off some steam.

You left some lookouts here.

Isn't that right, Mr. Pirate?

Where's Hilda?

You don't understand the mess you're in, do you, buddy?

Is that so?

Answer me. What happened to Hilda?

I ain't talking!

I see you're a senjutsu master.

You have some interesting techniques, yourself.

I'm just getting warmed up.

No one has ever lived to see even three of my techniques.

It isn't sunset yet.

How many will you see before you die?

You're the one who's going to die.

Let's do it! Hagan-raggo!

What was that?

Flying Swallow, variant #1.

I see.

It's all right now.

Uh. Um...

May I wait for Gene in his shop?

Sure.

Looks like he's dead.

I had questions to ask him, but I suppose it couldn't be helped.

Wha...?

Bastard!

I have a few questions for you.

Will you be a good boy and answer me?

My favorite color is red. My lucky number is one.

Where's Hilda?

Why did you and your friends come back to Sentinel by yourselves?

What happened to my people? Answer me!

What'll I get if I tell you?

I'll grant you a quick death.

You'll have to make me a better offer.

That depends on your answer.

What could've exploded out here in the fields?

I don't know! That's why they told us to check it out!

That was a gunshot!

Over there!

We'll take back the XGP! Count on it!

Call for backup!

Right!

Were there any witnesses?

No, nobody's around. They're scared to get involved.

When it comes to pirates, I guess I'd do the same thing.

M-Mel! What the hell happened?!

Welcome back!

Y-You came already? You're here for him?

Where is Gene?

Yeah, like I'd tell you.

It's in your best interest to meet up with him as soon as possible.

It seems that the Kei pirates are after you.

P-Pirates?!

Suzuka saved me.

W-Why?

Because you people are quite interesting.

Gilliam, open up!

Ah, Jim. There's been trouble. We've been attacked by pirates.

Here, too? Where's Gene?

Inside, working.

Anyway, let us in.

Of course. Um...

What?

What shall we do about that young lady?

She isn't registered as a crew member.

Let her in for the time being.

Gene!

The pirates were here, all right.

What're we gonna do?

Load up all the equipment we can and launch as soon as possible.

Would you explain to me what's going on here?

If you're fighting the Kei pirates, I wouldn't mind lending you a hand.

At this point, all we can do is fight them.

But I don't know...

...the real reason why.

Gene?

Gene! What's wrong?

Gene!

W-What the hell?

I patched it up, but I guess I didn't do it right.

GENE!

oto no nai mahiru

One soundless midday,

kaze wa tada akarui

the wind was fresh and clean,

sukoshi nemutasou ni

and the flower petals swayed

hanabira ga yureta

as if they were asleep.

nani ge nai kono omoi

This serene feeling...

nee hito wa donna kotoba de yondeiru no

Tell me what's the name people give it?

shiroi suna no tsuki

Tell me a story

toji kometa hanashi o

that's locked away in the white sand of the moon,

hikari furasu you ni

let me hear it as gently

kikasete ne sotto

as light shining down.

Next Episode

OW!

Damn it, I'm the star of the show! This ain't supposed to happen!

This is bad! This is a little too exciting, don't you think?

And I'm going up into space for the first time... With no support.

If I mess up, is the show gonna end?!

Next time on Outlaw Star! "Forced Departure"!

You better get ready!

Forced Departure
