Original subtitles

Hell of an old satellite.

Gravity well caught it before it could get into deep space.

- So it's going nowhere fast. - Heinz, how's the satellite look?

The recorder's the only thing worth grabbing.

Or do you want the whole sat?

No room in the hold. I'm gonna ice it.

Roger. Pulling out.

Her memories

This is the corona. This is the corona.

Station 103, come in.

Station 103 here. Go ahead, corona.

Final assignment completed.

Obstacle drifting on route pz-302 has been destroyed.

Now returning to station 103.

Station 103, Roger.

Oh, I know your shift's over now, but could you swing by route n on the way back?

Route n? That's not our area.

Some mining asteroids have drifted loose over there.

But the salvage ship covering that area's had some trouble.

The corona is the closest to them.

Come on, Ivanov. Just this once?

That's a no-can-do.

We're tired. Hell, the corona's tired too.

Not even if I throw in overtime pay, Ivanov?

Sorry, you'll have to find someone else.

Oh well, then. Have a safe return.

I'll send you the rendezvous point in a bit.

Roger.

Goddamned management!

Like we're a bunch of errand boys or something.

Meanwhile, they only give us trash jobs!

We are trash collectors, so that sounds about right.

You dumb shit!

They used to say, "one man's trash is another man's treasure!"

Sure! Find just one wrecked ship, and we could all buy California beach houses.

That'd be nice, too bad there aren't any more out there.

Good work!

Heinz, tell aoshima about wrecks.

Aoshima.

If you want to see a wreck, there's one right outside.

Ah, sweet memories.

I'll be back soon, cecile.

Be good a little longer, okay?

Oh, cecile...!

Hey, wait, there's Katherine to think about too!

What's a stud to do? Do I even need to choose?

There's the sound. And out he slides!

That stuff comes with the job, and being stuck out here.

We just gotta put up with it a bit longer.

I just feel sorry for any woman who falls for that jerk.

Damn right.

Hey, heinz, you have a daughter, don't you?

Though I think she's only about ten, right?

Oh, please. I'm not into kids.

We're all set.

An sos?

Aoshima, can you trace it?

The hell?

Hold it, aoshima. Is this some kind of joke?

Is that madama butterfly?

Is this really an sos?

It's coming from the emergency channel, anyway.

Man, we've worked our asses off today already.

Now we gotta do a rescue op, unpaid?

Can't we just call it in and go home?

Idiot! Think that'll fly with maritime law?

If we don't go, they'll never let us on a ship again.

Aoshima, do you have the position?

Hold on...

Area rz-30... 05?!

See, I knew it!

Well, ain't that great? That's in sargasso.

The graveyard of space.

So it's just calling out for more old folks?

The magnetic field in that area can get pretty nasty.

And this piece-of-shit computer isn't mag-shielded!

Won't that mean we're going in naked?

When has that ever bothered you?

H-hey, I just don't want to be a second sos call, okay?

Right, boss?

Changing course!

Jesus.

We could build a hundred beach houses!

If we could haul it all back.

Boss, the mag field's kicking up.

And there's the computer done.

All right, let's switch to the backup.

I don't like where this is all headed. How about you, heinz?

Aoshima, do you have an exact fix on the signal?

Boss! Look at this!

What the hell is that?

It's huge! Practically an asteroid!

Looks like it's made up of the debris.

Got a fix yet, aoshima?

We're good. Getting some noise now and then, though.

Could anyone actually be living on this thing?

Starting approach. Guide us in.

Wait! They're generating centrifugal gravity, so-

somebody must be home.

Just pray they're not pirates.

- Aoshima! There! - Right!

Is that an entrance?

Hope they're not going to start firing on us.

You'll just have to try knocking.

All right, heinz, we're going to record proof of entry.

Show me your ID.

Okay, do it.

I, heinz beckner, and my partner Miguel costrella,

acting on a mayday signal from this vessel in area rz-3005,

are about to enter to provide aid and rescue.

October 12, 2092.

October 12, 2092.

Okay, we're clear.

All set over here.

Damn, this equipment's ancient.

That just means it's easier for us to get in.

Oxygen?

Air seems fresh. Radiation is in the green.

How's the mag field?

It's fine for now, but you never know what will happen.

Get back here in three hours.

Roger!

Easy for him to say, he's not here!

Miguel, you okay?

A hole straight into hell, huh?

The gravity's about to hit!

I'm Redding out!

Should've taken more calcium.

Miguel, move it!

I can't get up!

It's okay. Just pop it off!

So, do we get the lady or the tiger?

We'll find out once we're inside.

What the hell?

Incredible!

Hey! Wait a sec!

Are you seeing this, pops?

Yeah. It's right out of a dream.

More like a nightmare!

Hello? Anybody here?

Let's go!

We should've seen someone by now.

Aoshima, you still getting that sos?

Yeah, definitely.

For some reason it's weaker now, though.

- The magnetic field? - I don't think so.

Miguel, look!

What a babe!

- The owner? - I hope so.

The brave sir Miguel comes to save sleeping beauty.

I like the sound of that.

What's wrong?

- I saw... - Hey, Miguel!

A person! There's a woman!

What?

What are you doing? Never seen a hologram before?

So you really saw a woman?

Yeah, well...

She kind of up and vanished on me...

Women always seem to be ghosting you, huh?

Shut up!

Save the flirting for when we're back.

Heinz, behind you!

Madam, luncheon is now served.

Madam, luncheon is now served.

What?

What did it say?

V "madam"?

This looks great!

Aoshima, can you see this?

Hey, Miguel! Are you nuts?

Hey now, just a perk of the job. Right, heinz?

Who'd have thought we'd find real wine way the hell out here?

Though, I wonder why it's set for one?

The madam lives by herself, apparently.

Lucky me.

Want some too, heinz?

You'll get sick.

It's a nice vintage, though.

With an excellent bouquet.

Come on, Miguel, cut it out! You got a death wish?

You all need to lay off.

Here's to you, madam!

Serves you right. You should be glad you're still alive.

This! That! It's all garbage made up to look pretty!

Hey, pops. Don't tell me I have to knock on all of these?

Relax. Just keep going.

The sos signal's about 70 meters ahead.

Okay.

I hope that isn't another fake too!

What's wrong, heinz?

Man, you broke it.

It might've been valuable.

Smells nice. This must be the madam"s dressing room.

Damn, it just crumbled.

Aoshima, you see this?

Yeah. Same lady from the portrait.

That jerk doesn't deserve her.

Maybe she's an actress. What do you think, heinz?

A hologram? Of our madam?

Yeah. These trophies all belong to her.

Or I should say, the whole place looks to be.

If she's still alive, anyway.

"Eva friedel, who sings evermore. July 3, 2031."

Aoshima, can you pull up some data on her?

"Best soloist, Italian dance festival.”

"Grand prize, Vienna music awards."

"Gold medal, Tokyo opera festival."

So our madam is an opera singer, huh?

Living all alone...

In a hall of past glories.

No wonder she has so many dresses.

All crumbling, now.

So wait, why'd she send an sos?

She was lonely, obviously!

What a damn pain.

Your tosca today was excellent, Eva!

Especially that duet.

I can't think of anyone else for that role.

Who's there?

Naturally. After all, I was singing with Carlo.

Right?

Madam...

Did you see that, aoshima?

Huh? See what?

Hey, cut the crap! She was just here.

That's...

Not a hologram!

What's going on here?

The flowers... I mean, there was a woman here!

It was the madam!

Did you see her, aoshima?

I didn't see anything. Maybe it was a ghost.

Goddammit, is everyone trying to screw with me?

"To my dearest Eva. From your Carlo. June 15, 2005."

We have to consider cold sleep, too. Search the other rooms.

She was here!

Sure. Ghosts don't send out soses, do they?

Stop patronizing me!

We're running out of time, Miguel. Let's split up.

You're not scared of ghosts, are you?

No way!

Asshole. You think you're so cool.

Aoshima, how's that sos?

Let me check.

Huh? It, uh... it's moving!

Moving? Then there must be a survivor!

Gotta be, right?

Great! Now the trip won't be a waste.

Who's-?!

Now that's freaky...

What kind of jerk makes a woman cry?

It just keeps getting worse!

A real cut-rate job. Maybe they ran out of money?

I don't think so.

Find something?

Our madam Eva was born to nobility.

A Princess, huh?

That explains the taste in decor.

She was born a prodigy, performing as a soprano even as a kid.

She was heralded as "the diva of the century."

Then she met a star tenor, Carlo rambaldi, and they fell in love.

Carlo is always by my side. I couldn't be happier.

So why's a woman like that living in a place like this?

Surrounded in the unreal.

Looks like things started going south.

Something happened to her voice.

Yet she kept performing on stage, for Carlo's sake.

No one seems to know why she did that.

In fact, everyone started lobbing criticism at her.

Only I get to decide what I'm worth.

Basically, the world kept spinning, but left her behind.

What about Carlo?

Guess what happened right before their wedding.

- Did he die? - Bingo!

Murdered, to be precise.

Wait, really? By whom?

Lots of theories, like a crazy fan of Eva's.

But they never arrested anyone for it.

After that, she disappeared from public life.

And came here to drown in her memories.

A real tragedy.

Sounds like my type of woman!

What's wrong?

The mag field's kicking up.

Hey, you hear that? We're done.

I'm pulling the plug on this rescue.

Roger that.

Miguel! Do you copy? Get back here!

I think I'm lost...

All I'm seeing is scrap metal.

Would the madam really be down here?

What happened, Miguel?

Is that the signal source?

How should I know?

That melody... where have I...7

It's the song!

Miguel, what's that sound?

Can you hear this? It's the song! The sos!

I love you, Carlo!

Miguel! What's going on? Miguel!

Hey, Miguel! What's going on?

I just heard a woman's voice. Hey, do you read me?

Miguel!

Who are you?

Wait, you're...

You've gotten bigger, Emily.

You're always saying that, papa.

Can I open it here?

What's inside?

Wow! A space suit!

I really wanted one!

It's just like yours, papa! Now I can go into space with you, right?

- Sure you can. - Really?

Thank you, papa!

Whoa, there.

I love you so much, papa!

Oh, yeah. Papa, the rocket's not working right!

Good thing your papa's really good with rockets.

Mama, did you hear?

Papa said he can take me up into space!

Emily, we can talk after we eat.

Aw...

You love that suit, don't you? But you'll get it dirty at the table.

But he's going to take me into space! Right, papa?

Emily, don't bother your father.

It's just, I wanna be with papa all the time.

I feel the same, Emily.

We'd like him to be home all the time. Right, dear?

Mama, can I have the jam?

Emily, you didn't eat your cucumbers again.

Because I hate them!

They don't let picky girls into space.

That's not true!

I meant it, before.

I want you to stay here, always.

My darling.

Heinz, do you read me? Come in!

Heinz!

Report! What's happening?

What's going on?!

Emily...

Heinz, do you read me?

Yeah, I'm okay now.

What do you mean, now?

We've been trying to raise you for half an hour!

What's going on over there?

What's with those doll things?

I don't know...

I have no idea, but I'm going to bust them up!

Shit!

Is Miguel okay?

I was hoping you could tell me.

This mag field's a bitch!

Just get out, now.

My thoughts exactly!

The mag level's through the roof!

Did you two piss something off?

Boss, this looks bad!

What's wrong, Eva?

I'm afraid you're going to leave me, Carlo.

Goddammit.

What's Miguel saying? He's been acting weird.

Do you have eyes on Eva? Heinz!

Just some angels!

I'll always be with you, Eva.

Truly?

Yes. We'll be together... forever.

Shit. There he goes, after another woman.

I'm so happy, Carlo.

Eva, my life is yours alone.

I love you!

Thank you, Carlo.

Now I'm not sure which one to rescue.

Miguel!

Where are you, Miguel?

Miguel...

Come to me, Eva.

As long as these roses bloom, we-

shit, he's completely fallen for it.

Miguel, come back! Miguel!

» - Miguel! - What's happening?

Heinz, come in! Heinz, do you read?

Boss, look!

Christ, it's eating the pod.

The thing's a regular gourmet. Shit!

What the hell is it now?

It's the debris!

And not just that, the corona is being dragged in too!

Son of a...

Heinz, do you read?

Miguel!

Miguel! Don't go!

Son of a bitch!

Miguel, this isn't real!

Don't you get it, Miguel?

This is all just her memories!

Miguel!

Miguel!

Why do you interfere?

Carlo lives forever.

With me, in my memories.

What?

You should know exactly what I mean.

Why pretend? Why turn away from reality?

Carlo is dead!

I've made him eternal.

My Carlo.

You what?

Within my memories, his heart will never change.

It was you...

You killed him!

How can you say that reality even compares?

Have you forgotten?

Allow me to remind you!

The rocket...

Papa! Look!

Now I can go into space with you!

No, Emily!

Papa?

Don't do it!

Papa!

Welcome back, papal!

Did you bring me a present?

Did you?

I've been a good girl, waiting so long!

Emily!

Oh, god...

You're alive.

Papa, you're squishing me.

Sorry, Emily.

Welcome home, darling.

Come on, papa!

Wait...

Come on, let's go inside.

Come on! Come on!

Okay, calm down now.

Let's stay here forever, papa!

Emily!

Emily!

Emily.

Emily!

Emily!

Emily's right here.

Emily.

Emily...

Emily!

You can't just...

Memories aren't...

You can't hide in the past!

Aoshima, can we fire the analyzer Cannon?

Yeah, it's ready when you are!

Wait, though! They're still inside!

If we don't, we'll all be dead!

Aoshima! Aim at the central air lock!

Put the coordinates on-screen!

The computer...

It's gone mad!

Welcome home, darling.

Damn it! We're gonna die and still be buried in garbage!

It's what you always wanted!

Now just hang on...

Heinz, forgive me!

More of her victims!

- Good morning, Eva. - Good morning, Carlo.

So beautiful today.

You mean the roses?

Of course I mean you, Eva.

Though they do look splendid.

This is the peak of their season.

Whenever I see a Rose, I'm reminded of you.

Oh? So there's times you forget me?

Yet here I am, thinking of you always...

Yamanashi!

Good morning, yamanashi!

Yamanashi! Good morning, yamanashi!

Ky ou a lo oo. .: Lo - on: I x in ...: . . Nn a oo oo la: I oo...: . . Oo or: . I lo:: . O = oo: ; I: Lo I oo

yamanashi! Good morning, yamanashi!

Good morning.

There's a seat over here, fukuda.

Oh, so you're here again today?

This year's cold is a real bugger to shake.

Be mindful of any complications, okay?

The shot should do the trick, mind.

But just in case, I'll give you a week's prescription.

Yes, sir.

Next, please. Mr. kawasaki?

- That's me. - Thank you very much, doctor.

You're welcome. Take care.

Hello.

So what's wrong with you?

Seems I caught a cold.

Take care.

I hope the shot will help...

The stinkiest weapon

Oh, Mr. Tanaka. All better now?

No, I still have a fever. I just don't want to sit at home by myself.

Besides, I don't have a girl to take care of me.

Take care.

You're gonna set off the biocon alarm, nobuo.

I got a shot at the clinic.

Why don't you test out all our over-the-counter cold medicines?

Kill two birds with one stone.

I have been trying them.

Why not try that new medicine we're developing, then?

I saw a sample on the chief's desk.

It should be good, it's pre-market stuff.

Oh, yeah. Those blue pills in the red bottle.

Two of those should work right away.

Attention, Mr. okamura in the infirmary.

You have a call on line three.

Excuse me, chief. About these papers...

Huh...?

Oh, he's out.

Red pills in a blue bottle...

Are these them?

There's a blue bottle...

And red pills.

Maybe just one?

No way! You look so cool, miki!

Oh, I can do anything if I just set my mind to it.

That's so great!

Sakiko, you should've come with us! We had the best time!

What's that smell?

Oh, I smell it. Maybe someone ate something bad?

No, it's not like that. It smells good.

Like perfume.

Who did it?!

Who? Who touched my red pills?

Who came into my office?

A little while ago, nobuo- I mean, Mr. Tanaka went in there.

He took a sample of the new meds.

He what?!

Where is he now?

He was just here a moment ago...

Now! Where is he now?

Maybe he went home?

H-h-h-home?!

Why did you let him go? You idiot!

This is your fault! It's going to be your head!

Chief! Tanaka wasn't feeling well, so he went to take a nap in reception.

Huh? Are you sure?

Yeah.

Is something wrong with that new fever medicine?

Fever medicine? Who the hell said it was that?

Then what was...?

What's that smell?

It's morning?

Oh crap, it is.

People should be coming in to work now.

Great.

Why didn't somebody wake me?

Sakiko?

Sakiko!

Somebody! Anybody!

Somebody, help!

Ambulance! Gotta call an ambulance!

Some kind of accident?

But the alarm should have gone off!

Same as yesterday...

Hello? I need help!

I need an ambulance out here, please!

Ch... chief?

Ch-chief!

Accident occurred

an accident? I knew it! Oh, man!

- Give this line priority! - Yeah! First priority!

What happened, omaeda?

Who are you?

I'm, well, uh...

Where's omaeda? The guy in charge!

If you mean the chief, he's right here.

What the hell? What's going on?

What's omaeda doing on the floor?

I don't know. It's not just the chief, either, it's everyone.

What? Patch in the other monitors.

I think we had an accident or something.

- And who are you? - Tanaka.

Nobuo Tanaka, development room 3.

How long? Tell me the exact hour and minute this happened!

Well, it was like this when I woke up.

What? But the alarm just went off!

- Well, the chief turned off the alarm- - That's impossible!

You don't know anything. Wake up omaeda!

He's unconscious, just like everyone else.

I don't believe this...

I called an ambulance, but they aren't here yet.

What? You called an ambulance?

Yes, and the police.

You idiot!

Hold on.

What? My god.

Yeah, I see.

- You said your name was Tanaka? - Yes, sir.

Listen to me very carefully.

I want you to find a certain medicine and some papers.

And I want you to bring them to me at headquarters here in Tokyo.

I'm kyoichi nirasaki, the head of new medicine development.

Don't give the medicine or the papers to anyone but me.

What? Right now?

Yes! And if anyone asks you, don't say you work for the company!

What are you saying?

This accident... no, we still can't say that it was for sure...

This likely involves that medicine...

As it's one we were secretly developing for the government!

Orders from the government?

Exactly. And that is why we can't reveal that this happened, yet.

You don't have much time, Tanaka.

Get out of there before the police come!

We need the code number for the files and a list of the project head staff.

And of course, the medicine sample.

This bottle...

It wasn't fever medicine?

But I took some...

What's going on here?

Cherry blossoms and sunflowers in bloom at the same time?

Hey! Hey! What's wrong?

Just like the others.

East sector troops! Can you deploy for evac ops?

Do you read me, niigata? Niigata base!

Kamata, president of nishibashi pharma, and head of development, nirasaki.

You gentlemen mind telling me what the hell's going on?

We're live at the sasago tunnel on the chuoh freeway.

The westbound highway into the kofu valley is completely shut off.

Eastbound is jammed and traffic is at a standstill from all the accidents.

While increasing numbers of refugees are leaving katsunuma,

communication with the central valley remains out.

As you can see, I'm wearing a gas mask, but it isn't keeping the smell out!

The question remains: What's going on in the valley?

And what is this smell?

Look at that!

Can you see this, folks?

Flowers!

All of the kofu valley is full of blooming flowers!

It looks like all the plants in the valley are in bloom!

However, I can't see anything moving down there.

This is quite the sight, viewers!

It's like hell in full bloom!

I can't even estimate the number of victims.

- I see someone! - What?

A survivor! Unbelievable!

Let's rescue him!

The cops are warning against flying below 300 meters.

Human life comes first! And we'll get some awards!

Hey!

Folks, this report defies death!

A live televised rescue!

Hey!

Hey! Speak to me. Hey!

Somebody, help me!

I've never heard any reports on any medical research like that!

Well, the minister handed down the order to develop a bioweapon countermeasure.

One for our peacekeeping dispatches.

From that, we set up a top secret research team internally.

Are you saying you were ordered to develop a weapon?

Huh? No! It was a countermeasure!

But you see, the head of the team, Mr. omaeda,

accidentally discovered a potent side-effect from one of the compounds.

Potent? How potent?

We're still in the midst of analyzing the data left in the lab"s computers.

You'll know as soon as we do, sir.

What about our special forces?

How long have they been at the scene?

They reported a moment ago that they were gathering info in the valley, but...

"But"? Speak up, man!

According to the sensors we airdropped in,

the center of the contaminated area is moving.

What?!

I think the wind is carrying the gas cloud created by the accident, sir!

I'm hungry...

We must find the cause and develop a countermeasure quickly.

One of the research center staff is on his way to Tokyo to bring a sample.

I believe he should be here soon.

You have a sample?

Yes, the young man who reported this accident should have it.

What do you mean?

We wanted to keep the classified documents and the sample safe from outsiders.

You're saying there's a survivor down there?

The smell's getting strong. The biochem gear isn't enough!

The evac is complete! Begin withdrawal!

- Seal the road when everyone is back! - Yes, sir.

Captain, look!

What the-?

All right, he'll be the last evacuee.

- Rescue him! - Yes, sir!

Move out! Get that stuff packed up asap!

Hey! Are you okay?

Yeah!

What the...?

He's the one. He's making this smell!

Withdraw! Everybody, withdraw!

Huh? Are they afraid of the cloud?!

Hey, wait a minute!

Hey! Hey!

Wait!

Shit.

Hurry!

Why is it following me?!

Wait for me!

Grandpa, hurry! Nobuo's in big trouble!

What's happened to nobuo?

All contact with kofu has been cut off for about ten hours, now.

dear, it's nobuo! Nobuo's in trouble, he is!

Hel-

this is nobuo Tanaka of nishibashi pharma, and his approximate age.

This is nobuo Tanaka of nishibashi pharma, and his approximate age. Mr. nobuo Tanaka

this is nobuo Tanaka of nishibashi pharma, and his approximate age.

This is nobuo Tanaka of nishibashi pharma, and his approximate age. Oh, nobuo! What have you done now?

Oh, nobuo! What have you done now?

Contaminated zone now beyond sasago tunnel!

I think we can conclude that guy is the cause of all this.

The report from our troops leading evac at sasago supports that idea.

We've found there's discrepancies between our analysis and the data collected on-site.

I theorize that the substance is mixing with other compounds, or...

Rather, a kind of reaction is going on within his body.

Assuming that Tanaka took the sample, of course.

Can you just put it simply for us?

Oh, of course...

There's no doubt that nobuo Tanaka's body itself is creating the smell.

I believe the smell is produced with his sweat,

in proportion to his emotions, body movement, and metabolism.

So, what should we do?

Well, we have to make sure he stays calm.

At the same time, we'll need to figure out how to feed him, and...

In other words...

You're saying it's better to kill him!

I can't approve that.

My country invested in this research as well.

The sample has to be caught alive.

That's rich! You're the ones who started the research to begin with!

Who do you think should take responsibility?

We can't worry about that now! We have a more important duty!

The protection of our people!

Do you see the long tail on that gas cloud, folks?

The stench is incredible!

We can hardly keep our eyes open for more than a minute,

despite the altitude and our gas masks!

The cloud is making its way to Tokyo.

It's likely to bring the same devastation there!

Nobuo!

Nobuo! Can you hear me, nobuo?

Grandma?

Don't go to Tokyo! Go back to the mountains!

I don't understand why, but people will be in danger!

Do you hear me, nobuo? Don't go to Tokyo!

Why is grandma here?

Hurry! Shoot him before he's hidden by the gas!

What was that?

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you trying to kill my grandson? Hey! Let me go!

What are you doing? Shoot him!

Damn! The gas. My eyes are watering!

We can't stay at this altitude!

- I'm taking us up! - Shit!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

What was-?

Message in from attack troops: Commencing attack!

- Sci ops contact imminent. - Reading radio interference.

Target is at the rear left, approaching the bridge!

We'll hit him and then bug out as fast as we can!

- He's out! I see the target! - All right! Get set to attack!

- I lost the target in the cloud! - Forget it! Just blast the area!

Fire!

- Idiot! What are you shooting at? - The precision sight isn't working!

What?

- What's wrong? - The engine!

- Idiot! Why are we stopping? - I don't know!

- Where are our tanks? - The target is still moving.

Why can't they stop him?

He just now passed uenohara.

- No response from attack squad! - No contact with atsugi base!

We can't do anything!

The stink gas is scrambling the integrated circuits in our weapons!

Call the commander of the north-side troops!

Call the prime minister! Hurry!

Send evacuation orders to Tokyo!

He's still alive. Moving eastbound at 60 kph!

What? What's wrong?

It's broken?

The airport is now over crowd capacity.

Please follow orders.

In two hours, the prime minister will issue a statement, asking the world for help.

The u.N. Will then dispatch peacekeeping forces.

They'll turn Tokyo into a sea of fire.

It's useless to argue over who's responsible for this disaster.

You two should escape. I'm sure you have families.

But, commander, your excellency, what about you?

You called me "your excellency."

Everything is prepared, sir.

Very well. Let's pull out.

Aye, aye, sir!

You!

Tell me! Tell me what you're up to!

NASA's latest space suit?

Yes! Though it's still a prototype.

Even so, it'll ignore electromagnetic radiation.

And its armor is impenetrable!

Even a hit from a trench mortar couldn't stop it.

So you're really going to try and capture him alive?

Japan's prime minister has given up.

Surely there's no harm in trying?

Dammit!

Relay this to our forces: Stop him at mt. Takao at all costs!

Yes, sir!

I bet they're still looking for me...

Really?

This whole thing's turned into a real pain.

And to top it off, I feel hungry all the time for some reason...

Good, we did it! Switch it on, full power!

Yeah! Get that air moving!

Freeze him like a sapporo snow festival sculpture!

What's going on?

What now?

Nobody told me about this!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

- You can't just come in here and- - Orders, sir.

Hey!

Captain! The gas is getting stronger. It's dangerous!

What?

Damn! Why's it taking so long to get that liquid nitrogen?

Hey, don't!

We can't get him any more worked up, he's scared enough!

We're even starting to get electrical discharge inside the cloud!

Wait for the nitrogen tanks to arrive!

Hey!

Fine, go on, then! I'll be here to clean up after you're gone!

All right! This side isn't sealed off yet!

I can get out!

Everyone out! Let's go!

It's been 30 minutes since our last contact.

Have you heard anything yet?

Th-this reading...!

The density is decreasing.

What? Are you sure, nirasaki?

Yes, sir. This is the highest point. See? And now it's like this!

We've got comms back!

We've got video from the chopper too. Putting it on-screen.

Great! The yanks are okay!

Now let's bury that damn skunk!

Yes, sir!

Yes, somehow we managed. We were able to save Japan.

I see. The emperor didn't get on the plane.

I'm glad we could defeat that man,

without making the emperor's bravery all for nothing. Right.

I see the space suit!

The American soldier's back!

Oh, the papers...

Uh, thank you.

Hello, Mr. nirasaki.

I'm glad I finally get to meet you.

I was worried about where they were taking me.

I really thought I wasn't going to make it.

Hold on. Let me get out of this thing.

What a stink!

Wake up! You'll be late for school!

Yeah, mom!

What? Is he still asleep?

Yes! He never listens to me!

I've told him he should wake up at least 30 minutes before breakfast.

Ten-hut!

Hurry up!

Coming!

Hut-two! Hut-two! Hut-two! Good morning.

Why can't you get up any earlier?

Only you skip morning drills, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

I know it isn't required, but it affects your grades!

You really have to earn that scholarship for next semester.

Your tuition goes up every year, and your dad's salary isn't following it.

Hey, mom! Mom!

Can I have a music helmet? I want a music helmet!

Those were banned at the last pta meeting.

They're too dangerous.

But everybody has one! Even the kid next to me in school.

You never listen to me. Your grades stay the same.

You don't go to training. You're too behind for a scholarship!

You can't expect us to buy you what you want!

Right, dear?

Yeah.

Today's wind is from the west at force level five.

Okay, they're ready. For you.

And for you.

Hurry up or we'll miss the number 7, dad!

Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!

I'm off to shoot.

Ready to fire!

Train to Cannon number 17 now arriving on platform 1.

This is east 17th station. This is east 17th station.

17th Cannon station. 17th Cannon station.

Shoot and blast with all your strength for our nation.

Why was Cannon 8's life quality committee hauled up on charges?

Heard they was in bed with the higher-ups.

Five minutes to roll call!

Everyone into the hall, now.

No discipline, no victory!

We've got to give it all we've got!

Shoot and blast with all your strength for our nation!

And thus, through the trigonomic functions of sine, cosine, and tangent,

we can calculate the theoretical position of our target.

However, to achieve even greater accuracy,

we must account for the external factors which create aberrations.

Weather factors, such as wind speed and direction, affect the trajectory of the shot.

Likewise, temperature and humidity can affect the gunpowder's combustion.

This will be covered in your chemistry class.

Dispatch from hq, as of 9:20 today.

Target data follows.

Direction: 2 o'clock and 15 minutes. Launching angle: 42 degrees.

Everybody in line. Roll call completed!

Ready for Cannon ascension. Is the pressure all right?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Hurry up!

Open valve number seven!

We are at pressure!

Thirty seconds to firing!

All personnel, take positions for shock wave!

Fire!

Cease work! Lunchtime!

Eat as quickly as possible and get back to work!

There is no lunch break in the enemy's attack.

We demand they use non-toxic gunpowder!

We deserve the right to work under safe and healthy conditions!

However, the gunpowder we now use contains harmful substances.

Here, take one.

- The chief really did that? - He did! That's why he was transferred.

I heard it was because his wife is almost due.

The baby might end up with a mustache!

That's okay. His other kids don't look like him anyway!

I've never seen brothers as unlike each other as that.

And besides that, his wife is unbelievable!

Yeah!

Barrel cleaning completed!

Get ready to load the third shell!

- Lower crane! - Lowering crane!

Bring down the shell tip!

You idiot! What the hell are you doing?

You must have forgotten to check something!

One little mistake will end in death!

Yes, load commander!

Your team is to remain on the floor!

Cannon now loaded.

All personnel, evacuate!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Ten seconds to firing.

All personnel, brace for shock wave!

Fire!

And now, today's war report from headquarters.

Number of rounds fired: Cannon 3: Three. Cannon 7: Three.

Cannons 8 and 10: One each.

Cannons 15 and 17: Four each.

Damage to the enemy's moving city:

Five major hits, seven medium, one light, one unconfirmed.

We have inflicted tremendous damage!

Our victory will soon come.

Shoot and blast with all your strength for our nation.

The Cannon family again?

Bang! Bang!

It's stupid.

You should go to bed. It'll be lights out soon.

Dad, can I ask you something? Who are we fighting?

You'll understand when you get bigger.

Now go to bed.

Yes, dad!

Fire!

All right!

Ten-hut!

Forward!

When I grow up, I want to be the one who fires the gun.

Not just a Cannon loader like my dad.

Ten-hut!
