Have you fixed the radar yet?
It's still ghosting.
I changed the settings, but still...
Maybe we should check the power supply.
Axel, is there any planet we could land on?
El Alamain is the closest, we could be there in 30 minutes.
Perfect.
This is Captain Warrius Zero of the Terrestrial Federation.
We'd like permission to land.
Permission granted.
Unidentified object on our tail.
Roughly 42,000 galactic kilometers out.
Length of 10 kilometers?
What in space is that?
It disappeared...
Could it be a meteor?
I don't know.
Whatever it was, there's nothing we can do now...
...in the condition we're in.
That's true, we have to repair the Karyu first.
What happened?
Missiles from below!
This is Karyu, I thought we had permission to land!
This is El Alamain base, you're in the Resistance Force free fire zone.
Change direction to B-1 on your grid.
Resistance Force? Change direction to B-1 on your grid.
What's wrong?
I missed.
Hey, can't we go outside and play?
Too many Mechanized Men out there, I gotta kill them all first.
We don't need all this fighting.
Then how are we going to protect the kids?
We can talk to them and find a way to coexist.
A waste of time.
Well, we can't win your way, I'd rather surrender and live than fight and die.
You can't do that.
If we stop fighting, how am I supposed to have fun?
You are a murderer!
Well, I'm a mercenary.
I was hired to kill...
...by your father.
My father's dead!
There's no reason for you to stay here anymore.
Leave us alone!
I don't leave until the last body falls.
You should thank me, I'm working overtime for free!
Fighting won't do any good.
It just gets people killed.
How awful.
Seems like the people who lived here are all gone...
Have you ever been to this planet before?
No, never...
Women don't understand war, it's not in their nature.
They get all sentimental.
You take that back! They get all sentimental.
You take that back!
I won't tolerate such an insult!
U-Uh, I...
All women get sentimental? U-Uh, I...
All women get sentimental?
I'm an individual with my own opinion!
I just meant, you know... I'm an individual with my own opinion!
No, I don't know!
Welcome to our planet, I'll get the mechanics to look at your ship.
I appreciate your cooperation.
Although I'd like to ask you about the Resistance Force that attacked us.
Well, actually it's not much of force, but just this one human named Grenadier.
One man?
You mean he's fighting by himself?
Yes, he says he's protecting the planet.
From what?
Doesn't he know about the peace treaty?
Apparently he doesn't believe in treaties.
We actually don't know why he won't stop fighting.
We don't know how, but he gets weapons and supplies, whatever he needs.
With your permission, I'd like to try and talk with him.
I want to talk to him, man to man.
That's very kind of you.
No problem.
It's our docking fee.
Take care of the ship.
I don't understand why you're doing this, Captain.
I'm interested in this man, Grenadier, I'd like to meet him.
But then what?
I want him on my ship.
What?
Think about it, this guy's standing up to the Mechanized Men on his own.
I'm sure he'll be a big help to us.
B-But...
And it takes connections to stay holed up like that.
He might know something about Harlock.
Then let me go with you, sir, it's too dangerous!
No.
He fights alone, I've got to meet him alone.
I have to win his trust first.
But, sir...
Just trust me.
He's coming alone...
I guess there's still a brave one left on the other side.
He's still 3000 away, no way he can hit me.
No sign of panic even with a gun pointed at him, I'm impressed.
But don't get too cocky.
You're in range now.
He's taking aim?
What the...
He's a human?
What's he smiling about?
I can tell, you're confused.
And if you're human, you want to know why I'm here.
What's a human doing in a place like this?
I heard there was a one-man Resistance Force that keeps fighting.
I came to talk to you.
To talk?
About what?
I am Captain Warrius Zero of the Terrestrial Federation.
I'm here to find the galactic pirate named Harlock.
Harlock, you say?
I've heard that he's a dangerous warrior.
You think a greenhorn like you can defeat him?
That's why I need the right team, I could use a man like you.
I want to fight against Harlock someday.
But I'm not interested.
Why not?
I heard you're a mercenary.
I'll pay your wages.
I've still got stuff to look after down here.
I see...
Aren't you going to shoot me?
If I leave alive, I might come back with my troops.
I don't shoot people in the back.
I'm glad I met you.
3400, it's a new record if I can hit from here.
Landmines?
Now you owe me one.
You're too valuable to lose on a mine.
I hope the Captain is okay...
If you're spacing out, why not give us a hand?
I'm just worried about the Captain, got a problem with that?
He told us to trust him, didn't he?
Then we should obey his orders and proceed with our assigned duties.
You piece of...
Axel's right.
All we can do now is believe in the Captain.
We'll surrender.
All we want is our lives guaranteed.
We find it hard to believe you.
Please, we're tired of fighting.
Why should we trust you now?
All right, I'm sending you the coordinates of our stockade.
You can blow up all the bombs and weapons if you want.
There are young children here, so just give us some time to get away.
Understood.
We'll give you 60 minutes before we attack the stockade.
It's almost over.
Then we can all play in the sunshine...
Oh no!
What's going on?
Good news.
We've located the enemy's hideout, so fighters left to destroy their munitions.
But how did you locate it?
Seems like Grenadier had young humans he was looking after.
And one of them just contacted us.
Seems they weren't so happy living with their Uncle Grenadier.
Children?
I've still got stuff to look after down here.
They asked for some time to escape before we attack...
...but we're going to bomb them all anyway.
We have to show them what it means to disobey us.
Hurry up, just take the stuff you really need.
Leave the rest.
How about this? Leave the rest.
What about this?
You don't need that!
Hurry, we only have half an hour! You don't need that!
Hurry, we only have half an hour!
But it's not time yet...
Uncle Grenadier! But it's not time yet...
Uncle Grenadier!
It's all right, don't worry, I'll lead you guys out of here.
Come on, let's go.
We can do this, we don't need Grenadier.
I'll protect them by myself!
Shootem!
Damn flies!
Stop the attack!
We're still in here!
We are...
...still...
Everyone, stay close to me.
We can do this if we all stick together.
No good...
This one isn't working either!
Dammit, we're locked in.
Stay there!
That's right...
We could get in here.
I will...
...protect you guys!
Everyone in?
Daddy!
That's right, daddy's watching over us.
So just keep down for a little bit longer, okay?
Damn...
Gotta save them, gotta save them...
Gotta save them!
Dad...
Maybe, fighting with weapons is the only way to protect loved ones...
I let...
I let Shootem die!
Shootem?
How...
Shootem!
He can't hear me.
Shootem, get away from there!
Take cover!
Adios, pal.
I told you not to go outside!
Where are the others?
Great, they're surrounded.
Got to create a diversion...
You stay there, don't move!
Come on, you bastards, I'm right here!
Damn!
Come get me!
Uncle Grenadier! Come get me!
Uncle Grenadier!
S-Stay back!
Shootem!
Get in!
Thanks.
Remember...
I owed you one.
The thanks was for this kid, I appreciate it.
I was saving the kid, and I just happened to scoop you up in the bargain.
You dumb mule.
I have another favor.
There are more kids in that rubble over there.
What?
I need a diversion.
Can you help?
I don't think I have a choice.
We've got a kid in here too, you better not miss them!
Leave it to me!
Here's some for you, too!
Damn, are we gonna die here?
In a place like this?
Surrounded by nothing but war and killing...
Father...
I gotta go in by myself.
Take care of him.
Father?
Everyone's okay.
Looto!
Shootem!
Why did you trust them?
I thought if we surrendered, they'd let us live in peace.
Thanks to you, now I lost all my weapons and supplies.
But...
I just...
I'm leaving.
Do whatever you want.
Fine, go!
I can take care of them by myself!
I know I can!
Your father gave it to me before he died, it's yours now.
Come on, Zero, let's go.
Are you sure?
I promised his father to protect them until Looto becomes a man...
So I did, and I realized today that...
...my work here is done.
He's tougher than he looks.
He's also smart, unlike me.
He'll take care of the kids.
He's surrendered to me.
I'm taking him on ship.
B-But... I'm taking him on ship.
B-But...
...he's caused serious damage!
You're welcome aboard too.
Huh?
You broke the peace treaty when you fired on him.
And you attacked civilians, children no less.
We're an Independent Fleet.
I guess you have different rules on your planet.
So do we, and different punishments will apply on this ship.
Well, we'll welcome you aboard anyhow.
A-Are you threatening me?
Why, are you worried?
I-I understand.
We've got the leader of your one-man Resistance Force in custody.
That leaves you with no further reason to bother those children, correct?
C-Correct.
Hey, everyone, I brought some water!
Look, you're spilling! Hey, everyone, I brought some water!
Look, you're spilling!
You guys are drawing again!
You're supposed to be working!
Not fair! You're supposed to be working!
Not fair!
Father...
I'll get stronger.
Then I'll bring peace back to this planet again.
I will, someday!
So what do you know about Harlock?
Your first stop is Gun Frontier.
There are all kinds of bounty hunters trying to get Harlock's head there.
I don't know how you can run this ship.
Mechanized Men everywhere...
Captain, can we really trust this man?
Why?
Oh, because I had been fighting against the Mechanized Men?
I wouldn't let a little thing like that bother you.
To me, it's a very big thing.
Shut up, Axel, he's here on the Captain's invitation!
Hey...
I'm a mercenary.
When a mercenary gets a new boss...
...yesterday's enemies are today's pals!
Excuse me, hey, wait! ...yesterday's enemies are today's pals!
Let's celebrate!
Let go, hey!
Have some drink! Let go, hey!
Have some drink!
Anybody got problem with that?
Yes, I do!
I too have a problem with you! Yes, I do!
I too have a problem with you!
I wouldn't say that if I were you.
He can shoot at least as well as I can.
And he also knows the Mechanized Men's weaknesses.
Damn right!
Ishikura and the others visit Gun Frontier to gather information on Harlock.
There awaits a female bounty hunter who is also after Harlock.
Next episode of Cosmo Warrior Zero, Tochiro, the Great Samurai.
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 words and deed.
Every thoughts 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.
