Hey!

Am I late?

No, no. You're right on time, Maria.

Right this way.

What do you think he's planning?

Well, I have a hunch we'll...

The real Maria arrived five minutes ago.

Hurry to your seats and let's dig in.

We have the finest French cuisine and champagne waiting.

Caviar et crepe de sarrasin.

The champagne is a Tour D'Argent from 1859.

Now then, gentlemen, good luck.

Tres bien. Now then, I'll explain to you as we eat.

The fake Maria you just saw was a spy from planet Pasatorine.

So that was it.

Planet Pasatorine...

The planet our expeditionary force is trying to conquer, right, Chief?

Planet Pasatorine.

The people of this planet, you see...

Rather than welcome visitors from Earth,

alas, they resist and rebel against us.

As a result, our Universe Plan has been delayed.

Now, all the guerrillas of Pasatorine are all talking about...

Beges Do Manto.

In Earth language, that's the "Cleopatra Plan."

Cleopatra Plan?!

Yes, it's strange they chose to name it for an Earthling.

Why did they name it Cleopatra?

To solve the mystery of their plan,

it's most effective to travel back to the time of Cleopatra and investigate.

We're going back to ancient Egypt with those machines?

I should have known something was fishy when you invited us for dinner.

Are those time machines?

Psycho-teleporters.

Simply put, a time machine sends the body to the past or future.

With these, however, the spirit separates from the body,

and enters the body of a person in the past.

Never heard of something like this in a sci-fi flick, now have you?

Then, what?

Kennedy... Hitler... Napoleon... Christ... We could enter any of their bodies?

Don Juan, Casanova or Rasputin as well.

Of course, we'll be able to return, right?

Yeah. Probably.

We just made them. They haven't been that thoroughly tested yet.

If they break down during the trip, you may not all be able to return.

Chief,

who will I be in the time of Cleopatra?

Jirou Tani,

you will be Caesar's slave, Ionius.

What? I'm a slave?

It suits you.

Maria Fellow, you will enter the body of an Egyptian city girl, Libya.

Hal Witcher, you will enter the body of Rupa.

Rupa? Who's that?

Not sure. Though we know he actually existed.

As one of Cleopatra's close companions.

A companion of Cleopatra!

Perfect! Maybe, just maybe, I'll get to do it with Cleopatra.

How's that, Jirou? I get to be a companion of Cleopatra's.

Meanwhile, you're a slave.

Sucks to be you.

Chief, you've gotta give me a little time to prepare...!

All that will be going is your souls.

And that's if you make it there at all.

If you're unlucky, you're dead for sure.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to live in the time of Cleopatra.

Well, it's a gamble you could say.

When Cleopatra dies, you'll all come back.

Now then, I look forward to seeing you again.

Good luck.

I am the mayor of Alexandria, capital of Egypt.

Son of the Sun, Caesar,

we pray that you be blessed for all eternity.

That is my daughter!

You're lucky.

To have had a daughter who could catch my eye.

Damn Caesar...

Po... Po... Po... Po... Pothinus.

G-Give me a tonic.

Master Ptolemy.

You are the king of Egypt.

He is merely Caesar. Conduct this audience with pride.

I-I know...

Caesar has arrived!

I came! I saw!

He peed himself...

Where is the king?

I am...

I am the king!

The king, what?

I am the king... sir.

I am Caesar of Rome. We will station troops in Alexandria starting today!

I must have startled you earlier. Forgive me.

Because, obviously, there must be guerrillas in this town who resent me,

I abducted this girl to arouse their ire.

As expected, a man ran into the darkness.

A damn guerrilla.

- Have you found their hideout? - They've gathered at Pelusium!

Good job.

Forgive my rudeness.

In my position, I must do things that will make people hate me.

You understand, yes?

Thank you.

See her home respectfully.

Young lady...

I wish you to tell your father,

that Caesar is generous to those who follow him.

And that he brings death to all who oppose him!

Send the soldiers to Pelusium!

Massacre the guerrillas!

Some hero.

Caesar's just a damned pervert.

Hero or whatever, all men like women.

So, I thought,

let's use a woman to kill Caesar.

- It'll never work. - Yeah.

Women are quick to cry screams of ecstasy.

If she passes out first, she can't kill Caesar.

Then just use a woman who's frigid.

She wouldn't be able to make Caesar swoon.

Then use a virgin!

- Let me do it. - Libya!

You're prepared to die.

Heh, you mustn't underestimate him.

Caesar won't be taken by a mere girl.

But, Apollodoria...!

If I give it my all...

I admire your determination...

But he'll throw you away after one night.

Why?

Caesar has slept with women who possess the finest techniques.

So, to enthrall Caesar and lower his guard,

an ordinary woman is no good.

She will need to be naturally tight, with the skill of a prostitute.

To have the elegance of a holy maiden and beauty unmatched in the world!

She needs to be a special woman.

There's no woman like that.

- What if I told you there was? - I'd want to see her.

I've brought her to the door.

Who is she?

Lady Cleopatra!

Cleopatra?

Please, enter, Lady Cleopatra.

I know her! She's King Ptolemy's older sister!

- Right, from the royal family! - Her brother sold out our country!

- The traitor's sister! - What did you come here for?

Are you here to sleep with us?

I left the palace after fighting with my brother.

I hate my brother for giving in to Caesar.

But now, Egypt is at the mercy of invaders.

All that is left is to resist with my body.

I swear to put my life on the line for that.

She speaks well.

But does she have the skill to back it up?

How to kill a man. How to drive a man mad.

I've taught her everything.

Wh-What?

S-Stop it!

Ow!

No!

Cleopatra will face the sex fiend Caesar with these weapons.

Ten times before the sun rises and ten times more before it sets.

Wow!

I almost feel sorry for Caesar.

But, much as I hate to say it...

- With that face... - How rude!

Cleopatra shall be the world's greatest beauty!

She will be reborn tonight.

Soldiers! A huge force of Romans is coming this way!

Kill the lights.

This hole leads out to the Nile. There's a boat as well.

Hurry!

Libya.

You return to town and tell our comrades,

our brothers in Pelusium have all fallen, but we still have Lady Cleopatra!

I will!

Maria Fellow, you will enter the body of an Egyptian city girl, Libya.

Appolodoria.

What is it, Cleopatra?

Can someone really change their face?

I'm scared.

A woman can change as much as she wants, should she desire it.

You will become a woman whose beauty will be remembered throughout history.

And it will be for the sake of your homeland, Egypt.

You are ready, I see, Cleopatra.

I will always be with you,

ready to lend you my aid.

Stop. That tickles.

What is that?

It is the temple of Thebes.

We are almost at our destination.

That's Rupa, my pet.

I had him brought here ahead of us.

Rupa will lead you from here on.

Rupa.

Guide the princess.

There. That is where the miracle maker lives.

So you've come.

The preparations are complete.

Do not tremble.

Fear not. It won't hurt.

We will use techniques of body transformation passed down for 5000 years in Egypt.

I can change any face...

Hey, move it! I'm done with you.

No matter what your taste,

I can satisfy your desires.

What sort of face do you want?

Cleopatra's nose, had it been higher, the whole face of the world would have been changed.

Let's go with that.

This is poisonous root juice of the tako tree.

It will make your meat and bones soft, as if melting them.

They will become soft and malleable.

If I work on you in that state,

I can make you round like a dumpling

or thin like a noodle.

Drink deeply.

It's alkaline.

The spirit of Shiatsu

is like a mother's love.

Stimulate the right points, and the life force springs forth.

Appolodoria will finish this part.

You're beautiful.

If there is an apex of beauty in this world, Cleopatra,

surely you are it.

But it's artificial.

Natural flowers whither,

but artificial flowers do not.

Rupa, how do I look?

You aren't impressed, I see.

Not that I can blame you.

Hal Witcher, you will enter the body of Cleopatra's companion,

Rupa. Rupa.

Oh, you pervert!

Lady Cleopatra, it's time to prepare for what we discussed.

It may be a bit cramped, but bear with it.

Does it hurt?

I need to pee.

Be patient.

I'll wet myself!

Woman, this is Caesar's room.

I am here with Caesar's new clothes.

Fine, leave your things here.

I can't fit them for him like that.

Leave it here!

Enter, clothier.

Close the door behind you.

You're not the same clothier as before.

One time,

in a certain country, the clothes brought to me by a clothier attacked me,

trying to bite me to death.

Ever since, whenever I receive new clothes,

I have them boiled before wearing them.

Let's do that.

Just throw them in there.

What's wrong? They're my clothes, no need to hesitate.

Why do you hesitate, Appolodoria?

It's all too common a trick.

You may have thought it was clever,

but it won't work on me.

That's enough. Leave them there.

You, Cleopatra's nanny, have joined the guerrillas and are targeting me.

I've known for a long time.

But, more importantly...

Where is Cleopatra?

The reason I came to Egypt was for a showdown with Cleopatra.

But how did that turn out?

The one on the throne is that little kid, Ptolemy.

From what I hear, he threw out Cleopatra after a quarrel between siblings.

I was disappointed.

I'll dispose of those clothes later.

You may go.

See the clothier to the exit.

Now then, perhaps I'll try a Nile crocodile dish to assuage my boredom.

It smells of perfume.

Don't tell me, this small package holds...

Sock it to me!

What?

Cleopatra!

You are wonderful.

I had hoped,

if possible, to meet with you alone.

Why did you want to be alone with me?

When there is a third party present,

I can not remove my mask as Caesar of the Roman army.

But I want you to understand, the true Caesar is neither a general nor an invader.

He is but a pilgrim, seeking beauty and beauty alone.

And did you find something beautiful in Egypt?

I heard in Rome,

that the Egyptian night is incomparably beautiful.

However...

In meeting you, I realized that was a lie.

An Egyptian night without Cleopatra is desolate.

You flatter me.

Ah, I lack the wit to properly praise such beauty.

Cleopatra.

I had gotten ahead of myself, thinking to have a showdown with you.

Now that I meet you,

I find myself losing my head over your incredible beauty. Perhaps it's my age.

I have heard of Caesar, the most powerful and fearsome man in Rome.

The focus of all the ladies' admiration.

But I find it hard to believe the man I see before me now is he.

Caesar.

Let me ask you a question.

Are you truly human?

Human?

I am a man, one driven mad in his thirst for love.

Let me show you proof.

You shouldn't have come here.

The wolf dressed in jewels,

blinds the sheep with their light.

The sheep casts aside everything to be with the wolf.

Cast it all aside.

I will offer you something greater.

What will you give me?

My good faith to Egypt.

I wonder how the princess did.

Seems there's an important announcement.

Do you think she killed Caesar?

Look, it's Caesar!

He's alive.

I believe,

that Egypt, as created by the Egyptian gods, is the greatest country on Earth.

I am deeply repentant.

This country does not belong to Rome!

Egypt should be ruled by an Egyptian!

Uncle Caesar's a great guy, I love him.

Uncle Caesar sits in that seat,

and I'll be sitting in this seat...

Let me introduce the new ruler of Egypt!

Cleopatra will be an Egyptian queen for the Egyptian people!

Cleopatra.

Caesar! Caesar!

Curse Caesar. Now Egypt has fallen into his hands completely.

Has Cleopatra betrayed us?

I'm not so sure.

Look, Appolodoria is there.

Appolodoria is one of us.

Don't you trust her?

- I do. - Let's wait a little longer.

I'm sure she has a plan.

Caesar! Caesar!

Caesar! Caesar!

Caesar! Caesar!

Pour poison into the waterways!

Every person living in Alexandria,

even Caesar, must drink from the Nile.

Wait and see what happens.

- Will he die? - No.

He'll just have terrible diarrhea and grow weak.

Then our army moves in...

- Occupied! - Occupied!

Occupied!

Occupied!

I'm Caesar!

I said it's occupied!

Your excellency, I have a report!

Okay, keep your voice down.

Rebels have set fire to your ship!

What?!

Maria.

Are you awake?

You're awake now.

Maria.

I'm not Maria.

I'm Libya.

- Are you a slave? - Yes.

- From Rome? - Yeah.

I was rowing Caesar's boat.

They're in battle now.

You were lucky.

Lie down.

I feel sorry for you.

Why do you stare at me?

I feel like we've met before.

It's strange.

I was thinking the same thing.

Where could we have met?

I was born and raised here.

Perhaps...

We met before we were born.

Before we were born...

Yes. In Egypt, we say even once the body perishes, the soul is reborn.

- Libya. - What is it?

I'm glad to have met you.

Run.

Ionius.

It's Ptolemy's soldiers!

Once More in Slow Motion

Are you a spy for Caesar?

No.

Then why did you infiltrate our camp?

I don't know!

Talk, or we'll torture you to death!

I... I am but a slave.

Don't be stupid!

If you're going to keep playing dumb,

we'll work on the woman instead!

Now, line up!

You each get three minutes.

Keep going until she's torn!

Okay, bring it on!

I won't break from taking just 100 or 200 men.

Wait.

Those are medicine pots.

What of it?

I've changed my mind.

I'll tell you everything.

Forgive the woman.

What a waste!

Shut up!

Untie the woman.

What're we gonna do?

I was third in line!

I'm not gonna be able to calm down like this.

I'm pent up!

Now, talk!

I...

...am a magician, working closely with Caesar.

I came to kill you with poison.

Revenge for our poisoning the river, huh?

And what sort of power does this poison have?

It's a drug that can reduce a human to dust.

You lie.

You're free not to believe me.

Fine.

Show me this poison.

I'll borrow the ingredients from you.

I'll make it here.

If you do anything strange or fail to make it, you'll be killed on the spot.

Can you really make it?

Hmm.

I'm not sure.

Then, was it a lie?

I'm not sure, but...

I had the feeling I could make it.

Huh?

In my soul,

there's someone telling me how to make it.

It's strange.

What's wrong?

Wait. I'm almost done.

What's that?

Pass me a flame.

- It's done. - It's done? Good.

Have the woman drink it!

If you don't, I'll kill you both.

No, this isn't something you drink.

Then how do you use it?

Like this!

Damned magician!

I'll kill you!

Darling,

I'm a goner, run for it.

Pothinus!

This is...

You demon!

Kill him!

Ptolemy has drowned.

What happened?

We aren't sure. We found these two in their destroyed camp.

You're my slave, aren't you?

Why were you there?

Why is Ptolemy dead?

This man killed them all.

Silence, you lying woman!

Ah, that man has a fine body.

Teach him to fight.

We'll have him fight Rome's greatest gladiator, Kijil.

If he beats Kijil, I'll forgive his crime of desertion.

What shall we do with the woman?

Is she your girl?

She's a cute one.

Tie the woman up.

She might be a guerrilla.

If she confesses, we'll feed her to the dogs.

Return to the palace!

Yes, sir!

Now is our best chance.

Take good care of him. And then...

Place this drug in Caesar's glass.

Even the "immortal" Caesar will die in three seconds should he drink this.

Oh, my.

You're trembling, Cleopatra.

How will you manage with such a weak heart?

Work up your courage, for your homeland.

I am with you.

Has Caesar returned?

Caesar!

Welcome back. I was waiting.

I pined for you, like a caged bird.

Ah, I'm exhausted. I want a bath.

Shall we go to the Turkish bath?

I don't like Turkish baths.

We'll go to the Roman bath.

O Nile.

It flows onwards.

It flows onwards.

Cleopatra's tears.

Cleopatra's tears.

Oh, Caesar!

Oh, Caesar! Stop! Don't be so violent!

Stop... Ah, Caesar...

Caesar, not here, you're so shameless...

Please, stop.

O Desert.

O Desert.

The wind blows gently.

The wind blows gently.

Cleopatra's sighs.

Cleopa...

Caesar.

Water! Give me water!

Hurry! Water!

Water!

I'm better.

Yeah, it's a result of his debauched youth.

He has attacks like that occasionally.

It has aspects of bipolarism, schizophrenia and epilepsy.

Obsessional neurosis, hysteria, catalepsy.

Even signs of dementia.

In short, the separation between a genius and a madman is paper thin.

Caesar has every sort of madness.

Is there a way to cure him?

The only choice is to give him poison.

Fight poison with poison.

Poison is medicine to Caesar.

Go away!

You're a good boy.

You're helping me escape?

Thank you. What shall I give you as a reward?

Goodbye, cute leopard.

I want a lemon.

Bring lemons, hurry!

I have brought them.

Leave them there.

Everyone, out!

Am I pregnant? With Caesar's child?

What am I to do?

Should I give birth to it?

Or should I not?

Okay, that's all for now.

I'm looking forward to your match with Kijil.

Ionius.

Your opponent Kijil is in the patronage of my rival, Cassius.

You must win.

What?

He made this thing.

How do you use it?

What is it, Ionius?

I made it without really thinking.

I have no idea what to do with it.

That man is aiming at you, Your Excellency!

Don't panic. He can't reach me here with such a short weapon.

Try it! That's an order!

What's wrong? Would you hurry it up?

I come with a report on Cleopatra...

What of her?

She has given birth to a boy.

Appolodoria.

- Caesar is coming. - Is he?

Use this.

We don't have to do it now...

It's a time like this when Caesar will lower his guard.

I can't do it. Don't make me.

It's for your homeland. Have you forgotten your duty?

Egypt will be freed with a single stab.

He's here. Good luck.

Wait here.

You seem to have lost weight.

But your complexion has improved.

Look, it's your daddy, son.

Oh, he looks like you.

Will you try holding him as well?

Can I?

Of course you can hold him. You're the father, aren't you?

I see.

I'm holding him!

Good boy! Good boy! Look!

Peek-a-boo!

Bah!

Cleopatra.

The boy's looking at me.

It's like he knows I'm his father.

What a clever boy!

Hey kid, we'll be going on a trip soon.

To Rome, with your mother!

T-To Rome, you say?

That's right! To Rome!

Oh, I've come up with a good name!

How does Caesarion sound?

Our Caesarion!

Caesarion.

Ow! I seem to have hit something.

If you were a man, I'd understand. What's that down there?

Don't worry yourself.

No matter how much of a nutcase I am,

I won't force myself on you here.

Rest well.

- How was it? - How was it?

- What was the child like? - How was Lady Cleopatra?

Women are mysterious creatures.

They give birth not only to babies, but to blades as well!

Here.

She nearly chopped it off!

You failed.

It was such a good chance.

He says we're going to Rome.

Yeah, to report his conquest of Egypt.

He wants to expand his power in the senate.

That man loves me.

How filthy!

What good comes from being loved by a womanizing invader?

I won't let that man take you from me.

This time, in Rome, you will succeed in killing Caesar.

You're popular with the people. I think you'd make a good king.

- Me? A king? - Yes.

Leave all the arrangements to me.

That gladiator of yours, Ionius.

We'll have him fight Cassius's Kijil.

While the people are losing their heads over Ionius' victory,

we'll hold your coronation.

What if Ionius loses?

We'll think about that if it happens.

Antonius,

you are my best friend.

Today's main event!

The world heavyweight championship match!

Our contestants! Serving under General Caesar,

at 160 pounds,

it's Ionius!

He's up to something.

He looks strong.

Curse Caesar. Once he's defeated Kijil,

he's planning on starting something.

Start what?

He will be facing

the world champion gladiator,

under the command of Cassius,

at 580 pounds,

it's Kijil the Manslayer!

Don't hold back.

Kill him quick.

The match will last three minutes.

Both contestants may choose their weapons freely.

Now, let the match begin!

The first round is complete!

His right arm. Take out his right arm!

Odd or even?

The second round is complete!

No need to torture him! End this!

Save that man!

Ionius!

Caesar! Caesar!

Caesar! Caesar!

Well done, Ionius.

Caesar, let me have that valiant man!

Very well. He'll make a fine body guard.

Caesar! Caesar!

Glory to Emperor Caesar!

Droman Emperar

Junius Soozer!

Hurrah!

He's having an attack!

Hospital! Hospital!

Ambulance! Ambulance!

He's been sleeping since.

He must be tired.

If he rests, he'll recover in no time.

It's that Egyptian woman's fault.

You must keep uncle away from Cleopatra.

That woman is poison.

I won't let her near him, Octavian.

Cal. Want to go a round?

If you cheat on me again,

on your thing,

I'm going to make you wear a chastity belt.

You're Cleopatra.

That's right.

What are you here for?

To take back my husband.

Your husband, you say?

You're just a woman he had a fling with.

- I had his baby. - So what?

If you don't give him back, I'll kill you.

Get out.

This is our home.

You've hidden Caesar from me since his attack at the coliseum.

Appolodoria says I should kill both you and Caesar.

But I've reconsidered.

I'll spare you.

- If you return Caesar to me. - I will not!

I'll kill you!

Caesar doesn't love you anymore.

You lie!

I changed Caesar.

Do you think you can do that?

Just try it.

Caesar.

It's me.

Your wife.

Cal...

Calpurnia.

It's Cleopatra.

Oh, it's you.

Where is Calpurnia?

Come with me.

Calpurnia!

What is it?

My boy.

I had a scary dream.

One where I was killed.

Oh, you silly thing.

I'm protecting you.

Rest at ease.

I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone.

There, there.

I'll sleep with you.

Do you understand? This is Caesar.

A man as pure as any child you will find in Rome.

You only knew Caesar as a genius, a conqueror and a tyrant, didn't you?

Then, though you may be able to love him as a woman,

you could never love him as a wife.

Go back to Egypt, Cleopatra!

That man doesn't love me.

He never loved me!

Caesar is everywhere.

Caesar is hypnotizing the people of Rome.

Claiming that he is a god.

The sight of him infuriates me.

This is a public nuisance.

Public nuisances must be removed.

Brutus.

The senators have all been bought out by Caesar.

We can't speak against Caesar.

That can't be the case.

Antonius, Octavianus, Germanicus, Lepidus.

Those are the only ones in Caesar's faction.

Julius Caesar.

I wish permission to construct an Egyptian style temple with a statue of me.

We will now take a vote on the proposal.

All in favor, rise.

By majority vote, the motion passes.

I wish to speak!

Cicero.

This is tyranny.

The speaker isn't even counting the number in favor.

I can't accept the result of that vote!

Speaker, I have something to say.

Caesar.

Cicero's remarks offend this holy senate,

I demand he be punished!

We will take a vote on Caesar's motion.

All in favor, rise.

The motion passes by majority vote!

The senate is now closed.

What is this nonsense!

If we don't do something about Caesar soon, we're in trouble.

The die has been cast.

Those are Caesar's words.

Haste makes waste.

No, wait. Wait.

Sir Brutus.

Oh my, you are Cleopatra's nanny, yes?

Lady Cleopatra wishes to meet you.

Kill that man.

This is an unpleasant topic. I have no interest in any such thing.

He seeks to become an emperor.

Use that to lure him to the senate and have those opposed do it.

Terrorism is bad.

It's an affront to democracy.

That man is mad.

As are you, having been jilted by him.

What is this?

A political donation to you, Sir Brutus, from Lady Cleopatra.

A bribe? How foolish.

I'll keep going until you say stop.

This is madness.

For the sake of justice.

- Please, don't joke with me. - I'm serious.

It's a conspiracy!

Think what you will.

On the ides of March,

going against the warnings of his wife,

lured by the promise of the throne,

Caesar accepted the invitation

and went to the Roman senate.

Et tu, Brute?

Caesar has...!

Caesar...! Caesar has died!

Caesar is dead!

Caesar has been slain!

Give the order to Ionius,

we will leave Rome at once.

I have no business in a Rome without Caesar.

Ionius.

Yes?

You must be happy to return to Egypt.

Libya is waiting for you.

I wonder...

What is waiting for me?

Ionius!

Libya!

Libya!

Antonius will come from Rome.

It's been less than a year...

Handle this one with your power as well.

Like I did with Caesar?

Correct.

Unlike Caesar, Antonius is a provincial soldier.

It shouldn't prove difficult.

Cleopatra says she wants to meet you.

I wonder what for.

Is this going to be all right, Antonius?

No way will it be okay. Of course it's bad.

Then there's no need to force yourself to go.

I can't turn back now, Caba.

It's Cabagonis.

Yeah, that. I always forget the "gonis."

You know the old saying,

"No butts, no glory hole."

But it's "No guts, no glory."

But nothin'!

What a lame joke. Cleopatra won't find it funny.

Keep at me like that, Caba.

Cabagonis!

Yeah, that.

I can fight wars.

But I've got no education.

For me to rule Egypt,

I need to get the intelligent Cleopatra under my control.

You're my buddy. I'm counting on your help.

Yes, sir.

Oh, she's come to greet us in person.

Wh-What do I do? What do I do?

I'm no good at this.

Tell her "I have arrived, at your behest!"

One, two...

I... I... I have attired for bed rest!

Welcome.

I've been waiting for you.

It's been so long, Antonius.

I didn't think anyone would come from Rome to visit me. I'm thrilled.

Oh dear, your body's already so stiff and hard.

I've been taught a man should be tough and hard.

It shows that you like me.

I'm so glad to have you here.

To our reunion, and to your fortune in battle.

I... No, I... No, your long lasting...

What was it, um, er...

Your long lasting...

Eternal.

Right, right, eternity. I praise your beauty which will last for eternity.

Oh, you're such a flatterer. You devil you.

It tastes great! It's amazing!

We call this wine Mouth-to-Mouth.

Huh? Mouth-to-Mouth?

You actually drink it like this.

Does it taste good?

It does.

- Want more? - More.

Oh! What? You can do that?

Here it comes. I'm feeling it.

No! Oh, my, my, my. Hey! Hey! Ah! Ah!

Stop! Ah! Oh!

She stopped...

- What is it? - This is...

Oh, this is Caesar's ring. I took it as a memento.

I killed Brutus with the hand I wear it on.

To avenge Caesar!

You loved Caesar too?

Yeah. I respected him.

Here, I'll give this to you.

Hey, don't throw it away!

Let's forget the dead.

For now...

It's just you and me.

What's the matter?

I-I can't...

What are you talking about?

But, well, I can't satisfy you.

- Huh? - Mine's a compact car.

Caesar's was a dump truck that required a special license!

Oh, my.

Is that all? You're so innocent.

Let me show you something good.

Come on.

Open your mouth and say "ah." Come on.

Ah!

How did it taste?

It hurt too much to be able to tell.

Then once more.

Come on, say "ah."

You were able to enjoy the taste and fragrance this time.

Size isn't everything, Antonius.

C-Cleopatra!

I'm over my complex! Totally!

All right, I'll do it!

One, two...!

My pinky...

which you nibbled on hurts.

What would you do?

Don't think, just drink tonic.

It's hard to be a little guy.

Good grief.

Cleopatra's put the moves on you.

How long are you going to drown in pleasure?

Don't get jealous Caba.

Cabagonis!

Yeah, that.

Cleopatra's great. Her body's dynamite!

I'd gladly die for that woman.

How pitiful.

You're a Roman general leading 200,000 troops!

Once Egypt is conquered, next, the world!

The world, huh?

Th-Th-The word impossible is not in my dictionary.

Break up with Cleopatra and lead the troops east.

I'll go. I'll present the world to Cleopatra!

Halt!

Fire a volley!

Fire a volley!

Bring out General Antonius' bed!

Yes, sir!

You're overdoing it.

Don't you realize Octavian is slandering you all around Rome?

Oh, be quiet.

Good grief. You're worse than a child.

Break up with Cleopatra.

Oh, shut up.

I'm having such a fine feast.

It seems the king wishes to speak with you in secret.

What is it, Herod?

Salome.

Kill Cleopatra.

Huh?

Listen, the one who assassinated Caesar was Cleopatra.

Next she will aim for your life.

Don't be stupid like Caba.

Listen to me!

Cleopatra is an underground operative working to defeat Rome.

Then...

She's sleeping with me as an act?

I don't think she could fake cries like those.

Kill Cleopatra!

Will you kill that woman, or be killed yourself?

I don't believe it.

Not one bit.

Kill Cleopatra! Kill her!

Is something the matter, Antonius?

N-No, it's nothing.

I'm just a bit tired.

I have a report! Octavian has departed Rome leading 300,000 troops.

He is heading east to face our forces!

Huh?!

We will return to Alexandria post-haste!

We will mobilize our fleet and ambush them at Actium's inlet.

Leave this war to me, Marcus Antonius!

One more!

He's completely addicted.

By the time he fights at Actium, he'll be a ruined man.

Take advantage of all the men.

Women have to put their weapons to use at times like this.

We are monkeys.

We break out of our cages.

Monkeys are the best.

We are pathetic monkeys.

We are Pithecanthropus Guerrillatus.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Guerrillas. Gorillas.

Guerrillas. Gorillas.

Guerrilla. Guevara.

Gewalt.

Farewell, laws.

They're the contract of a slave.

Bye bye, to our pitiful happiness.

Adios, everyone.

Even if the gods get really mad,

We're monkeys, we don't care!

We have no mating season.

That was great.

We make love all the time.

For some reason, we can't stop.

What are you doing the night before we set out? Caba!

We are monkeys.

Though we suck at climbing trees.

What's the matter with all of them?!

I can use that Ionius guy!

He had a dangerous weapon.

That might come in handy.

I'll bring him along.

I didn't think your organization would move this openly, Libya.

We're the erotic resistance.

Erotic resistance?

We've made Antonius drink plenty of poison.

Exhausted troupe for a drunk general.

Antonius is finished.

Say that once more! That bitch said I'm being poisoned!

That's what you just said, right?

Answer me!

Who's the one who gave me poison?

Cleopatra?

It was Cleopatra, wasn't it?

It's written all over your faces!

So Herod was telling the truth? Damn it all!

That does it. I'm mad.

I can't let Cleopatra get away with this.

No, I'll kill every last Egyptian good and dead!

Starting with you!

No, I don't have time for this.

I'm shipping out.

Octavian is coming.

I was looking forward to the battle too...

Ready, go!

One more time!

I won!

Fire!

Arab Airlines

Reinforce the right wing! I'll kick your ass, you bastard!

Starboard! To starboard!

Get it together! They're 200 meters ahead!

Fire!

The ship next to us looks big.

I need my tonic.

I can't move without it.

Congratulations.

Antonius is losing the war, it seems.

He will die soon, sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Stop.

Antonius knew everything.

And what did he say of me?

He must have hated me...

He'd had such trust in me.

My queen, what about you?

Antonius has returned!

Huh?

Cleopatra!

He comes bearing a sword!

He's dangerous. Please, flee!

MY queen.

I'm here, Antonius.

Cleo... patra...

Where?

Where are you?

Antonius!

I can tell.

You smell wonderful.

I wanted to smell this one last time,

so I came back.

I need more of that stuff.

What was it called...?

You know, Mouth... Mouth...

Mouth-to-Mouth?

Yeah. That.

Give me some.

Ah, thank you.

It tasted great.

Antonius, don't die!

Antonius!

Stop.

Stop already.

I killed Caesar...

I killed Antonius too...

Now Octavian is next?

When will it end?

It won't end, Cleopatra.

Not for as long as the invasion of Egypt continues.

They say Octavian is headed to Alexandria.

I've had enough!

Enough!

Appolodoria, return me to my true self!

And what is the true you?

Gems.

A bird cage and a quiet room. Warm cushions.

- And? - My original face.

And?

- Love. - That's nonsense.

It is! I'm a plain woman.

So I want the things that all women have.

I won't allow you to be selfish.

I'm tired of hearing that.

Do you plan to betray us?

To betray Egypt?!

You coward! Lady Cleopatra!

My queen!

It's not fair of you to hide!

O Desert.

O Desert.

Where will you go?

Wherever I must.

To a free land.

There is no free land in Egypt.

The wind blows gently.

Cleopatra definitely fled up the Nile.

There is no doubt.

If Cleopatra isn't there,

I'll have you killed.

I have business with the queen as well.

The wind blows gently.

Cleopatra's sighs.

I can't hear your lines. Display them in text like this please.

Is there somewhere we can take shelter from the wind?

I see something.

What's that? A fortress...?

What is it?

This is the sphinx.

It's the tomb of the kings...

It's automatic.

It's like a hotel entrance.

Is someone there?

What's this? A guest list?

Welcome to the tomb of the kings,

All guests who trespass here will be treated as grave robbers and killed.

However, there are many rooms in which you may die.

Please, choose one which suits your tastes.

Room #1 will crush you flat like paper.

Room #2 will bury you alive.

Room #3 has an adorable poisonous snake waiting for you.

- And Room #4... - We get it, Ionius.

My queen,

this place is no good. It's a hotel of death.

Let's leave.

Is there some sort of trick to it?

It won't open from inside.

Huh?

It only opens from outside?

You mustn't enter.

I am sure Cleopatra is in there.

Don't protect her.

This is the sacred grave of the pharaoh!

Even you, Lord Octavian, must not be allowed in!

- Step aside. - Please.

I beg you, wait.

I will enter in your place and bring back Lady Cleopatra without fail.

So, Lord Octavian, wait here.

Cleopatra.

At last...

You've captured me, I see.

Indeed.

What do you desire of Egypt?

Cleopatra, of course...

I am a broken queen.

And you are a victorious hero.

I have no choice but to abide by your command.

You speak so adorably.

Only because I speak to you.

Octavian.

Ever since I set eyes on you in Rome,

your form...

has been burned into my heart.

Rome holds fond memories for you then.

Yes.

I will bring you back to Rome.

Oh, my!

Really?

As my prisoner.

I'll take you back to Rome...

And execute you.

Huh?

I am not like my uncle, Caesar.

Your sex appeal is worthless to me.

Now, I'll ask you to come with me, Cleopatra.

You're a cold man, Octavian.

I'm still young.

Come now, you can feel the blood burning within me, can't you?

My Egyptian blood which can offer you the most sublime pleasure.

Yet you would let the ground of Rome drink it...

You'll reconsider, won't you? Octavian.

My queen, the door's locking mechanism!

You...

You're the gladiator.

Ionius, Your Excellency.

What serendipity! The gods have brought us together!

Oh, this body...

Ever since I laid eyes on you in Rome,

my heart's been pounding so hard I couldn't sleep. It's true!

Oh, I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight,

from glee over my wish being granted!

Oh, you hunk.

You'll come to my bed tonight, won't you? Won't you?

Won't you, darling?

Octavian.

I will prepare to travel to Rome with you.

Please wait just five minutes.

Very well, you have five minutes.

My queen!

- Libya. - Yes?

Give me the key to Room #3.

But, my queen, there's a poisonous snake in that room.

You mustn't, Your Majesty!

Why not?

I merely intend to prepare myself as an Egyptian queen should.

Thank you both of you, for staying to the end.

Lady Cleopatra.

MY queen.

- Libya. - Yes.

You said there was no free land in Egypt.

There is.

In your loving hearts.

Antonius!

He's come for me!

Now...

I go with Antonius...

To begin our true life together.

So...

Do not be sad.

Antonius!

I'm here.

Antonius!

My queen!

My queen!

Search that hole!

The snake may have come from outside.

Oh, looks like we can get out.

Libya, let's go.

Roman soldiers!

Roman soldiers!

Roman soldiers!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Begone!

Well done.

Are all three of you back to normal?

There's nothing wrong with me.

Hal, what was Rupa like?

What was the Cleopatra Plan?

At present, plans to murder them have been completed,
