All right now, Emperor.
Become one with the core of Hellcastle.
Hellcastle will clean up the galaxy...
You'll be a new god, the center of the beautiful darkness.
A new god?
Hellcastle is the ultimate machine, it will bring you closest to God.
And you'll become a superior being within Hellcastle.
You'll defeat Zero and truly rule the cosmos.
I will become one with God.
I will rule the universe.
Oh yes, I feel the power rushing into me!
Finally, I become one with the supreme!
I am a God!
He's still imperfect and driven more by emotion than logic.
Nonetheless, he can help us defeat Zero.
His hatred towards Zero will fuel our strength.
Kill Zero...
Kill Zero!
It's accelerating.
Tell the other ships to get ready.
It's time.
Yes.
The enemy's speeding up.
Hurry up with the repair, we don't have much time!
Are we going to make it?
They fired!
They're coming right at us!
Engage defense shields!
Engaging defense shields!
Starboard full!
The shields around the repaired area aren't strong enough yet!
We should retreat until the repairs are done.
No!
The enemy's fired at Technologia.
Missiles approaching Technologia!
What?
Captain, we've got to retreat!
Hold all repairs, move to battle condition!
Move to battle condition!
But...
No retreat, we can't turn back now.
Rai, the main cannon!
You got it!
Fire!
The Karyu has fired.
Captain, how come they're only shooting at the Karyu?
I don't know.
Have all ships move into battle positions.
Yes, sir.
It's not working, their gravity field is too strong.
Captain, there's a fire in the bow!
What happened to the sprinklers?
The system's down.
That part hasn't been repaired yet!
Fire patrol, fire patrol!
Get the fire patrol down here quick!
The Death Shadow and the other ships are returning fire.
No matter how much we throw at them, it's not going to do any damage!
I wish we could use the St. Elmo's cannon...
Don't think about that now!
Instead, figure out what we can do, they've got to have a weak point!
They've fired at us again!
Captain, permission for a tactical retreat.
Otherwise they're going to destroy us for sure.
Permission denied, keep forward!
But, Captain...
Don't forget that we're the last hope to defend our future, Technologia!
The last hope...
I don't get it, why are they only targeting the Karyu?
Could it be because of me?
Come and join me.
You became a Mechanized Man because you wanted to survive, didn't you?
Captain...
Yes?
Perhaps...
If I went over to the other side, maybe all this useless fighting would stop.
Nonsense!
Captain's right, you should let go of thoughts like those.
That's just what they want.
Then why are they only shooting at us?
I feel a strong hatred from them.
Hatred?
Right.
Because humans and the Mechanized Men are working together on this ship.
They thought it would never happen, both beings living in harmony...
But this ship proves they were wrong!
Maybe someday humans and the Mechanized Men can live together on Earth.
Then that's their weakness.
Their hatred?
Technologia's been suffering more damages!
Axel, change course!
But I thought we were supposed to...
Right, if they're only shooting at us, we need to draw their fire away.
Phase, get me the facts on their gravitational field.
Sir!
The third quadrant's been hit.
Batlyzer, I've just transferred the data.
I've finished analyzing their gravitational field, it works...
...in a 60 kilometer radius, anything that comes closer will become a target.
All right, move to 61 galactic kilometers from the center.
When we hit the destination, we're going to shoot them with everything we have!
We're charging the enemy?
We're dead anyhow.
I say go for it.
We aren't dead yet, we're going to make it back to planet Earth.
Don't forget, our mission has just begun.
We'll protect the Earth!
And we'll protect all those precious beings in this universe.
That's our mission!
So we're going to win this battle.
We have to!
Directional target 102, bring engines to full power.
Engines to full power!
Charge!
The Karyu's heading straight for the Hellcastle.
What are they thinking?
They're creating a diversion.
That's suicide.
Sink or swim, we just gotta let Zero try his luck.
Zero is trying to draw their attention to the Karyu...
...so Technologia can have a chance to regroup.
Sector 6 has been hit!
Batlyzer, do you have the timing for the reverse jets?
0f course, of course, I don't want to die!
Fools, coming right at us, I'll just swallow you up.
Die, Warrius Zero!
Armament units are hit, also number six cannon is hit!
Report the damage!
Turn on the fire extinguishers and send the emergency crews!
I'll go give the orders.
Hurry up!
We're here, are you all right?
So?
Let's see...
How many?
About 15 from Team 2.
Dammit!
Hello, can you hear me?
We're not gonna make it, open the outer door!
Don't be crazy.
Get out of there!
Listen, the only way to put out the fire is to open the outer door!
Hurry, open the door!
No, I won't do it!
Come out of there, that's an order!
Please, you have to open the outer door!
You've got to protect the ship.
Captain!
Ishikura, I guess you better...
Wait!
I'm on my way!
Tell them to hold on!
We got all the humans out.
No time to get the Mechanized Men out.
Please open the outer door.
But if we do that...
Don't worry.
We don't need air to function.
Open it.
The fire's been extinguished, no explosion, sir.
Yeah, baby!
Close the outer door and bring the Mechanized Men to the infirmary for repairs!
They say they want to keep working.
This is an order!
We don't want to lose even one of the heroes who just saved this ship.
Their work can wait.
Sir!
Aft engines are hit.
Now being contained.
The power from the auxillary engines is down.
We're closing in on the enemy fortress, distance 65 galactic kilometers.
Captain!
I'm afraid we can't make it, we're going to have to turn back.
Gravitational effect at 20%, they're tugging at us, sir.
If we keep this up, then pretty soon the Karyu will be...
Trust me.
Trust in the Karyu and our crew.
Harlock, the Karyu's going to be sucked in.
What if we shoot from both sides to distract them?
Not just yet.
If we move now, Zero's hard efforts will go to waste.
But...
If anything happens to him, I'll make sure they'll pay.
Distance, 64 galactic kilometers.
Come on, hang in there.
Let me swallow you up!
Distance, 63 galactic kilometers.
Batlyzer, hurry it up!
Still calculating.
62, we're going faster now.
Too fast, we're going to hit the field!
Calculation complete, ready to begin countdown.
Connecting to reverse jet circuits.
Go, Batlyzer.
45 seconds to engagement.
44, 43, 42...
The auxillary engines are hit, the motor is out!
The impact has thrown us off course!
Correct our direction!
The auxillary engines aren't working.
We can't control it!
We'll be sucked into the gravitational field, we can't stop it!
Captain, turn on the reverse jets!
But we don't have enough power!
Try anyway, don't give up!
You're right, Captain.
There is no turning back now!
Reverse jets, full power!
This is no good, Captain.
If we don't do something, the Karyu will be sucked in!
It's not working, we're just getting pulled in!
I say don't give up!
Just a little longer!
Just you wait, I'm gonna open up on this sucker.
Almost...
Now, fire!
Zero, I'm going to enjoy tearing you apart!
We've been hit!
Dammit!
Is this it?
What's this?
Captain, it seems that the gravity dipped for an instant when they shot at us.
Are you sure?
Batlyzer, look into it!
Analyzing data...
Analysis complete.
The gravitational pull ceased for 0.13 seconds just before the shots were fired.
That's it, they have to turn off the gravitational field to fire their cannons.
Phase, inform the other ships.
The gravity field turns off for 0.13 seconds when the enemy fires.
We'll fire at them all together during that interval.
Zero did it, he found their Achilles Heel.
Harlock, let's get ready to fire.
If we're all going to fire at once, who's leading?
My vote's for you, Harlock.
We don't have much power left anyway.
Okay, I got it.
Rai, you heard that.
Synchronize our fire system with the Death Shadow.
You got it, system connecting now.
We just might win after all.
We will win.
We have to win.
All ships to lock main cannons on the Hellcastle.
All systems ready.
Radar locked!
We'll throw in everything the next time the enemy fires.
And, we'll bring down this monster.
Die!
Fire!
Harlock, Tochiro, Emeraldas and Rubia are going to bet all they have.
The future of the universe may be decided in less than a second.
St. Elmo's Fire will light up the universe.
Next episode of Cosmo Warrior Zero, Swear.
Look forward to it.
Long ago, somewhere in the future...
...in a place beyond space and time...
...there's a book for all to see.
What has been, what could be...
Prophesies of the ages.
Every little joy, every sorrow.
Every little tear that is cried.
Every word and deed.
Every thought and feeling.
All written there on the pages.
Some embrace only shadow.
Some embrace the light.
But the lives that we lead are the stories we leave...
...there in the Book of Life.
