We're going to win.
No, we have to win.
Die!
Fire!
They did it!
Is it over?
We got the varmints, we got 'em!
What the?
What's happening?
You weak foolish humans, is that all you have?
You've sealed your own miserable fates!
Now prepare to suffer!
You stupid humans!
Their gravity field only goes down for 0.13 seconds at a time...
That's not enough time for us to knock them out...
...before they regenerate!
So you are saying there's no way we can...
And we can't shoot back without shutting off the main engine...
You stupid humans.
Struggle all you want.
Put your power together and fall even harder!
Give it all to me as you die, foolish humans!
Foolish humans!
How come you couldn't stop them? Foolish humans!
Lost, lost, lost, lost...
Die, die, die... Lost, lost, lost, lost...
Die, die!
Stop it!
Please stop!
St. Elmo's Fire...
Ready the St. Elmo's Fire!
Zero?
Captain?
Captain!
We have to do this to protect them!
All right!
The St. Elmo's cannon is ready for action.
St. Elmo's cannon standing by.
Open energy feeds for the St. Elmo's Fire.
Opening energy feeds for St. Elmo's Fire.
Pump in the helium, start the procedure.
Power output at 120% and rising.
Up to 125 and still climbing.
Give me access to the weapon system.
Transferring access.
The time has come, Captain.
I'll handle the steering, sir.
Connect me to the P.A.
P.A. System on, sir.
Attention, all hands.
This is your captain speaking, I just want to thank you all for your efforts.
I'm proud of every one of you.
We're proud too, Zero.
We're heading into our final battle, and before we do...
...l'd like to issue one last order.
Listen carefully.
All hands are to evacuate the ship and assist with the defense of Technologia.
Repeat, all staff evacuate.
No exceptions.
You heard me Ishikura, go organize the evacuation.
But, I don't want to leave, sir.
I'm not asking you what you want, I'm giving you an order.
I understand, but no.
I can't obey that order either, Captain.
I'm afraid I can't either, I want to stay here with you.
Denied.
Everyone has to evacuate!
Captain...
I became a Mechanized Man because I was afraid to die...
But now I feel scared again, I feel just like the human I used to be.
I'd almost forgotten what it was like to feel, joy, sorrow and love...
Captain, it has all come back to me because of you.
I don't want to be left behind!
Nonsense!
Don't you understand?
I said no!
I'm a Mechanized Man, just like the ones that killed your family.
What's wrong with you?
I want us to be together.
Zero...
I want you to fight with me.
For a better future for all the humans and the Mechanized Men back on the Earth.
I just wish I'd known you before.
Don't say such a thing, don't you get it?
I need you!
Their minds are made up, Zero, there's no way to change that.
If you want the rest of us to leave this ship...
...you and the First Officer will have to step off first.
W-What are you all...
All right, I understand.
You'll trust me with your lives...
This is the engine room.
The power output is up to 130%, we can go anytime.
All right, prepare for firing!
Get Harlock on the line.
Patching through to the Death Shadow.
You think you can do it, Zero?
I'm not sure, but it's the only way.
We need 40 seconds to power up the St. Elmo's cannon.
During that time, all other systems must be shut down.
Even your engines?
Everything.
Not only will we be pulled forward by the Hellcastle gravity fields...
...we'll be defenseless during that time.
I understand, we'll back you up until you discharge the St. Elmo's Fire.
And Zero...
What is it?
It's good to finally be fighting on the same team.
Yes.
All systems, down.
We're getting pulled in by the gravity field.
Start charging the energy!!
40 seconds to fire the St. Elmo's cannon.
39, 38, 37...
I'm counting on you, Harlock.
Listen up, we need to distract them.
I'm on it!
So am I!
Don't worry Zero, we'll take care of it.
Die!
Blast them!
Get out of my face, you bugs, I'm going to squash you all!
That's good, keep it up.
Watch this.
Tochiro...
Don't worry, we're keeping them away from the Karyu.
But we're also going to show them we're not just a target for them to shoot at!
Reverse direction, increase altitude.
That'll do!
Amateurs!
Oh no, look out!
Eat this!
Fire!
Isn't the St. Elmo's ready yet?
Not yet.
19, 18...
We've been hit!
Close down all other sectors.
Fire in Sector 3D, fire in Sector 4D.
Fire patrol, quick!
Impacted area growing.
Fire spreading to engine room.
About 20 to 30 Mechanized Men and 40 humans are injured.
Emergency, emergency!
Medical Team, hurry!
Ishikura, lock that door!
The reserve power's down.
Then do it manually, you idiot!
Out of the way, dammit!
It's started.
Just a little more!
It's the St. Elmo's Fire!
It's started.
It's coming.
The ship's absorbing too much energy.
If we don't release it, it'll blow us up.
I know!
Positive charge 75%, negative charge 86%.
Helium isotope mixture approaching critical mass, main gunnery unit ready.
W-What's that light?
A bothersome fire fly!
I'll squash it.
We've got to release the excess energy outside the ship!
All right, prepare cartridges for charging!
It's time, everyone get behind the shields.
We can't, our bodies weigh a ton in this gravity!
Isn't the St. Elmo's ready yet?
I don't feel good.
I'm going to take a nap.
Die, insects!
They've fired at the Karyu.
Full speed ahead, we'll get ahead of the Karyu.
In the gravity field?
As long as the Karyu makes it, we can afford not to.
Hard to port!
Harlock's heading them off.
Harlock!
I'm going in too.
This is for what you did to my race!
Rubia's following him.
How do you like this?
The front cannon's been shot.
Keep going.
We can't take much more of this.
I'm putting my faith in Zero.
The bastards got Rubia!
Hang in there, we have to protect the Karyu.
If we don't win this...
...not only the Earth, but the whole universe will be covered by the dark force.
I'll fight to put an end to the bloody history of my race.
Zero, I've always wanted to have a drink with a comrade like you...
Harlock, take care of the rest...
Rubia's ship has been destroyed.
Protect the Karyu!
Phase, look out for the energy waves!
Phase!
Don't come near me, it's too dangerous!
Phase!
Let me handle the hard labor.
I'll do anything!
Phase!
Call the doctor!
Phase, hang in there!
Something is draining power from the engines!
What?
What is causing it?
Cause of outage unknown, danger, danger...
The engine temperature is dangerously high!
How foolish you all are, how much do you think you can take?
Die now.
Time to die, everyone of you!
Stop the countdown.
All engine room staff, take shelter!
Captain!
This is the engine room, we'll continue the repairs.
Please don't stop the countdown!
Dammit...
Captain, I'm okay, so please...
Shoot, after we've come this far.
Is this it?
Captain, the Karyu is burning up.
Tochiro...
The Karyu...
Is this the end?
The cooling system...
What if you made a secondary path and shot water through?
The air will cool down the water.
You've got to at least try.
How did that happen?
Captain, the cooling system is working!
But how?
Zero...
Marina?
Fire the St. Elmo's cannon.
Fire it, Zero!
Right, if you say so.
Zero, do it.
Use the St. Elmo's Fire!
Captain, we'll be ready to shoot in ten seconds...
...but the main computer's down!
Without the main computer, you'll just have to trust your eyes, Rai!
That's fine, I'll do it blind!
There!
Dammit, find the target!
Zero, do it!
Beautiful!
What is all this energy?
Marina!
What unpredictable and dangerous creatures these humans are...
They overcome unbelievable hatred...
...and pool their resources among different species at the last minute.
Their power is not to be taken lightly.
Sometimes they can produce miracles.
Getting humans and Mechanized Men to live together is a miracle.
Zero...
Marina...
Marina!
Zero...
Marina...
No matter, at least I learned something about humans.
We're done here, let's go.
Yes, ma'am, return to base.
It's over.
I guess...
You guys had me worried for a while there.
But we came back in the end.
Well, you finished Hellcastle off, but isn't there something you still have to do?
Glad that you still remember.
What's the matter?
You were going to arrest me, weren't you?
Let's just say your record's been cleared, besides, you're too good to cage up.
I wish one day you'd quit the military and join up with us.
Sorry, I have to go back and help rebuild the Earth.
This is the only way I can do it.
Guess you're right, you'd never make it as a pirate.
And you'd never make it as a soldier.
See you again, Harlock, Tochiro.
So long, my friend.
Take care of those things that are important to you.
Thanks, that's what I'm going to do.
Happy trails.
Ready for take off!
Ready for take off.
Captain, where are we going now?
To tomorrow, Axel.
We're going to prepare the Earth for tomorrow.
To tomorrow!
Engines to full power.
Blast off!
Zero is abducted by pirates.
Is this Harlock's scheme?
Finally, Zero and Harlock fight a duel at Sarumatake.
I will see the truth with my own eyes.
Next episode of Cosmo Warrior Zero, Special Edition, Follow Young Harlock, Part 1.
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.
