Original subtitles

With the development of the Munchausen Drive,

which made faster-than-light space travel possible,

humanity entered into a new Age of Exploration.

They set out into the universe, into this infinite sea.

Explorers, soldiers, colonists...

All sorts of travellers with all sorts of names crossed the sea of stars...

...and spread out all sorts of worlds.

But where law and order are created,

those who would disturb it will appear.

And where there are wealth and interest to be made,

those who would plunder it will appear.

As in the last Age of Exploration, pirates were reborn in space.

But in this new age, a new breed of sailors appeared...

...who operated outside the law,

yet sided with neither space pirate nor Space Forces.

Outlaws. This was the name of those who travelled space...

...with only his freedom as his guide.

...you feel like throwing it all away.

Don't say a word, just open the door.

I don't have time to quibble with you.

I wanna fly all over the place, I wanna throw caution to the wind!

What is it that you want? What'cha you wanna do? Where you wanna go?

Grab what you want and rip through the dark as you run through the night!

yami o saite hashiri nukete tsukamitore Through The Night

And here he is...

You gotta be kidding me...

Hold it!

Don't worry. They're just paint bullets.

Not normal ones, though...

That won't take it off! You can't see a thing, can you?!

You asked for it, kid!

Say your prayers!

Huh? Damn!

Hang on!

All right, kid... I'll be right there!

You've got lots of tricks up your sleeve, I see.

I doubt these guys were after you just because of you did at the bar.

Looks like everybody's after you.

What did you want with me?

I-I don't know! I don't know anything!

You know my reputation, right?

Somebody asked us to do it!

They said to capture you or keep you here!

Who?

Somebody even worse than me?

MacDougall.

Him? Why?

I don't know.

We just did it 'cause he said he'd pay us a lot of money.

I see...

Wake up Melfina and Jim. We're going to the dock.

Who's this MacDougall guy?

I'll explain later.

I've heard that before...

Into Burning Space

Okay!

That's the last of'em.

Looks like you guys made it here in one piece.

Sorry about the trouble.

Don't mention it. We go back a long way.

I wouldn't mind knowing what they were up to, though...

Looks like MacDougall put them up to it.

So he's going all-out, huh?

What have you got yourself mixed up in?

Nothing major. The Galactic Leyline.

The Galactic Leyline? I'll never understand how you Terrans think.

Do you really believe in that stuff?

No. I don't believe anything until I see it with my own two eyes.

How's Horus?

I've finished with the supplies. How are the engines, Mikey?

All green.

But you've got less than 50 parsecs left until your next...

...recommended overhaul on your sub-ether drive.

The manufacturer's too paranoid.

We're launching right away.

Hey, hold it! We're just gonna launch?

That's probably a good idea. There's a big ruckus over at Dock 12.

Maybe their buddies are sending out some ships.

Starting a fight right outside Blue Heaven? Are they nuts?

They're breaking the rules if they're planning to go hand-to-hand.

Horus is too big.

It's like devaizos ganging up on an ife.

What?

Sorry. Translator glitch. I said, "Orcas ganging up on a whale."

I've never seen a whale.

Swanzo, I'll be back soon. With a new ship.

I'll need your help again then.

No problem.

Okay, let's get going!

Five class-C Grappler Ships...

...have launched from Blue Heaven and are closing in.

Gene!

Hey, Gene!

What?

You got any experience fighting in a spaceship?

No. And even if I did, I wouldn't wanna right now.

Didn't you say you had some piloting experience?

If you don't mind me puking all over the console.

Warning. That may cause a short-circuit.

If you don't have a problem with it, I can help.

Can you operate a laser cannon?

I know how to use one.

It's to your right.

If they close in, open fire!

Okay!

Melfina!

You sit in the auxilliary control chair. You should be able to do it.

All right. I'll try.

Warning. Please avoid any reckless evasive maneuvers until...

...we are out of Blue Heaven's approach lanes.

Continue accelerating.

They won't get away! Split into two groups!

Right!

Those bastards messed with us! Time for some payback!

Grappler Ships to aft have split into two groups.

Jim, they're coming in from the rear!

Gotcha!

Here they come!

That ain't gonna work, little lady!

Enemy craft have anti-laser defenses.

What're we gonna do, Hilda?

Keep firing. It'll keep them on their toes, at least.

Okay!

Time to teach them a lesson!

Further evasion is dangerous. Now leaving guide path.

Grappler Ship closing in from above!

Sorry to keep you waiting, little lady!

Horus, rapid climb!

Shit!

How much longer 'til we're clear of the asteroid belt?

482 seconds.

Something is closing in ahead! It's a large ship!

Ship is cruiser-class. Type, unknown.

It's on a collision course.

Send out a warning.

They claim they have the right of way.

This is the Orta Honehone, registered to the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire.

I am Aisha Clanclan, the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire's Ambassador Plenipotentiary...

...to the Tempa Stellar Region!

We are docking at Blue Heaven. If you are receiving this, clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Clear the way!

Make way for the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire!

If you don't clear the way, we're gonna bite your ass!

The Ctarl-Ctarl Empire?!

Hey, what should we do?

What else can we do? These guys are worse than pirates!

I'm an Outlaw. I'm sorry, but I don't have a treaty with you.

This departing ship is claiming right of way.

You're picking a fight with the Ctarl-Ctarl?!

What're the Ctarl-Ctarl like, again?

They're like a cross between a human and a tiger. They're real nasty.

Approaching ship isn't changing course!

W-Wait a minute! That's crazy!

Stop screwing around!

Morons!

We're gonna eat ya!

Don't worry.

If you drop your shields, there'll be enough room for us to pass.

What?! You're trying to defy the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire?!

If we don't do something, we'll collide!

What?! Dodge them!

Dropping shields! Altering course 3 degrees to port!

Firing starboard thrusters for 10 seconds!

We're all gonna die!

Okay, go after 'em!

HEY! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

All of you, stop your ships!

You're under arrest in the name of the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire!

Oh, man! What should we do?

What else can we do?! We can't get away from this ship!

HEY! You, too, Outlaw!

T-minus-sixty until asteroid belt is cleared.

Warning.

Warning.

Further acceleration within asteroid belt is dangerous.

Damn it! Everybody's trying to make fools of us!

That does it! FIRE!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

But Lady Aisha... Firing within the asteroid cluster is...

I don't wanna hear it! This is for the honor of the Ctarl-Ctarl!

Y-Yes, ma'am.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

- Lady Aisha blew it. - She should've listened...

Hey, where are we going this time?

A little star system. I'm meeting up with some friends there.

What?!

That was Hilda's ship?! The Outlaw?!

Hilda's famous, even in the empire?

Sounds like it.

Tell me where she's headed!

Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!

We'll execute these arrogant Outlaws later! Go after her at once!

We can't!

W-What?! Are you defying me?!

Orders from home. We're to remain here until further orders.

W-Wha... You contacted home?

We were ordered to contact them once we arrived at Blue Heaven.

Are we finally at the end of the line?

No. We have to go to sub-ether three more times.

Time required to next sub-ether drive, 2 hours 10 minutes.

Get some rest, everybody.

Before I get some rest, I have a question.

What the heck's the Galactic Leyline?

A place the Kei Pirates are desperate to find.

Why?

They say some kind of huge treasure is hidden there.

One other thing. Who's MacDougall?

Horus.

The MacDougall Brothers.

They call themselves Outlaws, but their position is unclear.

They will take any job from anyone for the right price.

Other than their name, no personal information is available.

Why are they poking around in your business?

Ask them.

Hey, this ship oughta have some quarters, right?

Maybe we can talk things over in bed.

You think you could rise to the occasion?

A cherry isn't worth my time.

I ain't a cherry!

Land this thing, and I'll show you who's a...

Man, grown-ups and their sleazy conversations...

You can't perform?

- Can't... ...perform?

Oh, you can't perform? That's too bad.

The moon of that planet there. That's where we'll meet up with my friends.

This is Horus. Marx, O'Malley, come in.

Anything on radar?

I'm not picking up any spaceships.

Did you come at the right time?

They should've come a long time ago.

Think you got stood up?

I doubt it.

I'm picking up something on radar, but it's...

I'm picking it on on my cameras, as well.

Enlarging.

I'm taking us in.

That's the Leprechaun's nose art!

Debris ahead verified as the Leprechaun and the Purgatory.

A ship is lifting off from the moon's surface!

What?

It's closing in at high speed.

Warning. It's that pirate vessel.

Just like I said, right?

Hilda came, all right.

If you wanna know about an Outlaw, ask another Outlaw.

Thank you, Mr. MacDougall.

Don't mention it. I knew the Guild pays for information, so it was an easy job.

So, will you be needing any help?

My brother can launch our ship right away if you need us.

That won't be necessary. This is our job now.

You had to go and kill more of my friends, huh?

Hey, what're we gonna do?

We're gonna accelerate and fly right down their throats.

Gene, take the gunner's chair.

Me?

I can fire the thing, but I sure as hell won't hit anything.

How long are you gonna keep whining?!

Hey, if I can't hit anything, I can't hit anything!

Are you just gonna keep running away your whole life?!

Running away?!

I...

Don't start bitching if I puke all over everything.

If you're gonna be a Spacer, learn to hold it in.

Damn slave driver...

Jim, I'll take over.

Hey, don't overdo it, Gene.

Hey, watch it. I'm a born Spacer and you're not.

You won't get away, Hilda.

Pirate cub fighters are approaching.

Lasers won't work on them. Use missiles!

Got it!

Cub fighter has made contact to starboard. No damage.

Die, you bastards!

You're going to let them escape?

You needn't concern yourself.

"Old Man"

We've branded you, Hilda. Now you'll never escape us.

We'll take back everything that you stole from us.

Head straight for Farfallas. Calculate sub-ether course.

Roger.

Mind if I ask where this Farfa-whatever place is?

It's a star system about 40 light years from here.

It's got no natural resources. It's a desert island in space.

Why are we going there, then?

That ship I mentioned is hidden there.

Hey, you actually gave me a straight answer for once.

Because I found out that I can use you as a crew member.

Aw, what're you talk...

Hang in there, Gene. Hold it in until you get to the bathroom.

Um...

Why did you take me?

Did you want to go with them?

No.

I won't mistreat you.

All right.

Once all spacecraft are aboard, begin pursuit.

You need helping tracking them?

No.

In that case, I'll be going. My brother is here to pick me up.

This should prove to be interesting.

This is a disgrace, Aisha Clanclan.

Our reports state that Hilda's ship, Horus,

was right under your nose and you let him escape?

B-But, Governor! I... At that time, I didn't have that information!

That's a Comm Cube, Lady Aisha. It's a recording.

Therefore, Aisha Clanclan,

your rank as ambassador plenipotentiary is hereby stripped.

You will remain at Blue Heaven as a resident officer...

...and gather information regarding the Galactic Leyline.

B-But t-that's too harsh!

I'm telling you he can't hear you...

The Orta Honehone will depart Blue Heaven...

...and continue tracking Horus. That is all.

- Yeah! - We got off clean!

Leave port!

Leave port!

Leave port!

Leave port!

Leave port!

Leave port!

Leave port!

Hey, isn't it a little hot in here?

We're getting close to this sun. Hang in there.

Hey! How close are we gonna get?!

A little more.

There's nothing out there! Are we just gonna dive into it?

I've found it, Hilda.

There it is.

There's a ship there.

A special ship, built with the pirates' brains and the Space Forces' technology.

Pirates and the Space Forces?

Now entering same orbit as the asteroid. Closing in.

Roger.

oto no nai mahiru

One soundless midday,

kaze wa tada akarui

the wind was fresh and clean,

sukoshi nemutasou ni

and the flower petals swayed

hanabira ga yureta

as if they were asleep.

nani ge nai kono omoi

This serene feeling...

Tell me what's the name people give it?

shiroi suna no tsuki

Tell me a story

that's locked away in the white sand of the moon,

let me hear it as gently

as light shining down.

Next Episode

Okay, now I get it. So the pirates were after this baby, huh?

Now I'm convinced...

Hey, Hilda! Don't leave me hanging out here!

The space pirates flock towards a mysterious spaceship...

...that was hidden on an asteroid!

It's time to deal with some trouble that comes our way!

My long years of discipline are being put to the test!

Next time on Outlaw Star! "When the Hot Ice Melts"!

You better get ready!

When the Hot Ice \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMelts
