Original subtitles

One soundless midday,

the wind was fresh and clean,

and the flower petals swayed as if they were asleep.

This serene feeling...

Tell me, what's the name that people give it?

Tell me a story that's locked away in the white sand of the moon,

let me hear it as gently as light shining down.

Don't make fun of it, don't destroy it, don't cheapen it...

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!

yami o saite hashiri nukete tsukamitore Through The Night

Why dost thou return?

Why dost thou return?

Maze of Despair

There is but one path.

There is but one path.

Jim? Do you read me, Jim?

Gene! Are you okay?

Yeah.

What the heck's going on around here?

What does it mean, "There is but one path"?

Beats me. But it looks like we'll have to play along.

This game tires me.

Are you here, Jukai?

Of course, lord.

It seems that the others were sent elsewhere.

No matter. All that matters is that I reach the gate first and obtain the key.

Very well.

Ron? Do you read me, Ron?

Yeah, I read you.

Looks like our only option is to follow the path.

Understood. I'll go on ahead.

Be careful.

Melfina, I'm coming...

Suzuka!

It seems that the paths merge as it goes along.

Let's hurry.

My, this is fascinating... How fascinating.

Fascinating, indeed...

Perhaps it was a mistake to give MacDougall this place's coordinates.

Or was it a good idea?

Oh, well. It was for my own good.

It's waiting at the end of the path.

Wonderful!

Must hurry... Must hurry...

Is there really gonna be a treasure at the end of this?!

How should I know?!

Suzuka, why did you come with us?

Men always want to know the "why" of everything...

It's not as if knowing why will let you do anything about it.

Sort out your own feelings, Gene Starwind.

"Where there are mountains, there are valleys," huh?

After you.

You know how to show a man respect, Suzuka.

The ledge over there may be unstable, that's all.

So I'm a lab rat, huh?

Here goes!

The experiment was a success!

There's never a dull moment with you, is there, Gene?

Gee, thanks!

Oh, there's no need to thank me.

It's been a long time, Suzuka.

You're looking well, Hitoriga.

I'm surprised, running into you like this.

What's going on, Suzuka?!

You wanted to know why I came with you, Gene?

As I said, you people are most interesting,

but it was because I have a score to settle with the Kei pirates,

and especially with Hitoriga here.

You seemed to be bound closely together, and so I used you.

Go, Gene. This is my place.

Go on without me!

Melfina is waiting for you!

Will wonders never cease?

I'm amazed that you have a partner.

Are you in love with him, Suzuka?

I've no intention not to tell you.

When I kill you, I'll tell you as a gift to see you off to the afterlife.

Just because I killed your family is no reason to hate me so.

We both work as killers, you and I.

You're a pirate pawn. I'm my own woman.

We seem to have a difference of opinion.

This fight should prove to be amusing, won't it, Suzuka?

Perhaps.

At the very least, we'll see who this beautiful face belongs to.

That much is true.

This is the Galactic Leyline? What the hell am I doing?

I can't do anything! What should I do?!

We meet at last. You're Gene Starwind?

How handsome...

Would you like to have a good time with me?

I've never turned down an offer from a babe.

But we shouldn't. Pirates and I never seem to hit it off.

Besides, I'm not in the mood!

Fei ga!

A Caster? That won't work against me.

Well, damn. A babe and she's tough...

This sucks.

That was a #11.

This one's a #10!

Wait! Anyone who interferes with Lord Hazanko will die!

Well, what have we here? If it isn't a pirate flunky!

Jim, leave this to me. You go on ahead.

Why? I'll fight him with you!

I can handle this guy by myself.

Aisha?

Get going!

Okay, now I can fight without worrying about him.

So, you sensed my power and want to let the child escape?

How kind of you.

Stop reading things into it.

I'm tough. Really. So tough it's scary.

But how come stuff like this is happening on a treasure hunt?

Oh, well! Always start with the problem right in front of you!

Precisely.

That won't work on me, no matter how many times you try.

How many shells do you have left now?

I'll tell you. Four.

When you run out is when you will die, Gene Starwind.

Thanks for the warning.

It'll drain your life, huh?

Eat this!

What's this?

Damn things... drain your life, all right...

What's going on?

Melfina!

Hold on, Melfina, I'll save you.

I came for you, Melfina.

I can't be what you want me to be.

That's not true. Just to have you near me is enough.

I love you.

I've found you!

We meet at last, my woman Melfina.

Come, open the gate!

Watch what you say to the lady.

Melfina is happy when she's with me!

Absurd!

You'll pay for that, worm!

Harry!

That's... the first time you ever talked to me like that...

Harry!

What have you done?

You needn't concern yourself. Just carry out your task.

My task?

Enough of this. Remember, Melfina.

You are the key meant to open the gate that lies here.

As the maiden of the Leyline, you will pass along my prayer.

I admit that it was our own fault that the XGP was stolen from us.

Because of that, I dropped everything to come here.

I...

I...

You don't have to answer. You're just a puppet, after all.

Come, open the gate for me!

Stop! Please, stop!

Leyline Project command!

"It was you who broke my Meissen plate!"

The path has been opened.

You're a magnificent woman, Suzuka...

I really do love you. That's why I took this face.

You went to all this trouble to see me.

With a mountain of treasure right in front of you, you chose me...

My individuality is important to me.

The world goes outward from there.

But you wouldn't understand that, would you?

No, I don't...

But then, you don't understand my feelings, either, do you?!

Zanpa randou!

That's too bad. I wanted to take you alive.

I let you hit me.

I wanted to know the pain of those you've killed.

Now it's my turn.

Oh, really? Zanpa randou!

I've never seen that technique before.

Its name is Crimson.

You didn't use it back then.

I invented it afterwards, just for you.

I see.

She was all talk...

I'm kinda tired...

A little rest, and I'll be good as new...

Gene, save some Dragonite for me...

Oh, my! Fascinating!

Oh, my!

Hm?

Oh, dear.

Hazanko, huh? Hazanko got here first?

Harry... Harry!

You were the only brother I had...

Hazanko did this to Harry, didn't he? I'll kill him with my own two hands!

In here? It's in here, is it? It is, isn't it!

Wait, professor. You stay here.

Why? Why do I have to stay behind?

No one worked harder than me to bring us here!

And if my little brother is dead as a result, professor,

you bear some of the responsibility, don't you think?

Huh? Preposterous! That's not logical!

It's logical enough for a man who's lost his brother.

I finally make it to the finish line, but the babe didn't wait for me...

Where's Melfina?

Gene Starwind?! Now that I think about it,

it was you and Hilda who started this party!

You try the same thing over and over again, don't you?

I'm going to make you suffer like Harry did!

Can you?

That shell I just used was a #9.

A #9? They actually exist?

But it doesn't look like it did anything.

...Leyline Project founded.

She was crying, wasn't she?

But that isn't why you saved her.

Hilda?

An Outlaw has to be a lone wolf.

You can't count on anyone but yourself.

But sometimes you want to feel the warmth of another body.

Gene, are you gonna go up into space with your old man?

Walk your own path, Gene Starwind.

Gene, I've lived my life, following my dreams.

I don't have any regrets.

And now it's time for you to move on. I have high hopes for you.

Gene Starwind.

Gene Starwind.

No! What am I supposed to do here all alone?

No! I'm all alone!

Gene!

Gene!

Gene!

Thank goodness! Are you okay, Gene?!

Y-Yeah... What happened?

I found you here lying unconscious.

Looks like the younger MacDougall brother is dead.

I wasn't the one who killed him.

Gene, where's Mel?

Up ahead, probably. I've gotta go after her.

Ready.

Jim, you're going back to the Outlaw!

But Gene! Can't I do anything to help?

I have two Caster shells left.

If I run out, my only hope is the Outlaw.

We've always made it through with our great teamwork.

I'm the point man, and you're...

The backup.

I'll bring Melfina back. Count on it.

Find Suzuka and Aisha and stand by in the ship.

Good luck!

I'll bring us back a mountain of treasure!

What is thy desire?

What is thy desire?

What the...?

Still haven't reached the finish line, huh?

My, my, my!

Welcome, Gene! Welcome!

Gwen Khan!

That's right. That's right.

I'm Gwen Khan. I'm Gwen.

But I'm in a bit of a jam. I can't move ahead.

Yes, I'm in a jam.

The doors are locked from the inside.

The gate is open, so it shouldn't be difficult...

I really must go on. What a jam, what a jam...

Do something, you bastard!

Weren't you the one who started this game?!

Stop that! Stop that, please!

I want to know, that's all! I want to know!

Harry?!

Hey. I always feel like hell when I wake up.

Isn't Melfina here? I came to see her.

No, don't. He's already dead.

The auxiliaries in his body are keeping him barely alive, that's all.

He's like a ghost.

I have it!

Do you think you can open this door, Harry?

Could you? Melfina's on the other side!

The path is to be opened by the maiden.

The path is to be opened by the maiden.

Melfina!

Poor thing... There's a protection program around her.

I'll delete the whole thing!

Melfina!

Harry!

I'm glad I made it in time!

I'm sorry, Melfina. All I can do for you now is wake you up.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

Also, there's something I need to tell you.

Harry...

Goodbye.

Harry!

Go, Gene. Go listen to her song.

Her song?

Ask her to sing it again for me.

Incredible! The doors have opened!

I'll ask her, Harry.

Count on it!

Next Episode

I traveled.

I met a lot of people and experienced a lot of things.

I guess this isn't the time to brag...

Before you can talk big, you gotta put your money where your mouth is!

Time for the last spurt!

I'll show you how I live my life!

Hm? Yeah, I guess that sounds like I'm talking big...

Next time on Outlaw Star! "Return to Space"!

Return to Space

You better get ready!
