Legend of the Galactic Heroes 2x24

Directed by

Yang attacks the supply lines of the Imperial fleet successfully. Next, Yang defeats a fleet near a black hole. Reinhard's anger at these losses are reaching boiling point. Mittermeyer and Reuenthal realize that they will have to launch a large offensive versus Yang if they hope to win before morale and food drops to dangerous levels. Yang defeats another fleet by filling supply pods with helium, then igniting the pods when the Imperial fleet nears them for pick up. Yang's guerrilla warfare tactics leave the Imperial fleet with uncertainty on where Yang will appear next. An attack on Heinessen is vetoed by both the Imperial Admirals and Reinhard. The only remaining option is a full fleet encounter by using Reinhard as bait.

1. D-YFI@AniDB

2. OF THE

3. In every age,

4. in every place,

5. the deeds of men

6. remain the same.

7. Universal Century 799, Imperial Year 490, April 6th.

8. Having received intelligence that the Imperial fleets were dispersing...

9. Yang Wenli took his fleet to the Gandharva Starzone.

10. What a frightening man.

11. Admiral...

12. Prince Lohengramm, along with every one of his admirals...

13. have left the Gandharva system, it seems.

14. They're headed for Heinessen.

15. I originally planned to begin attacking...

16. as they reached their maximum defense perimeters.

17. But if we wait for that now, Prince Lohengramm's fleet will reach Heinessen first.

18. To stop him, we'll have to engage him at a location...

19. where it's impossible for his other fleets to return quickly.

20. Is that what you mean to do?

21. Yes.

22. We'll have to attack sooner than we planned...

23. and defeat Prince Lohengramm within a limited time period.

24. If he merely holds out, he'll only have to wait for the other fleets to return to him.

25. Even though we'll be forcing him into a decisive fleet-to-fleet battle...

26. our situations are different.

27. I wish I could slough this hard stuff on to somebody else...

28. May I come in?

29. My door is always open to you.

30. Come in.

31. Then I'll take my leave.

32. O... oh...

33. Yes?

34. It's nothing. Thank you.

35. Have a seat.

36. Did I interrupt something?

37. Don't be silly.

38. Anyway, what is it?

39. What do you think of Prince Lohengramm's dispersal of his fleets?

40. Well, I wonder...

41. Then let me tell you what I think.

42. This is definitely a trap.

43. If we go, we'll definitely fall into a trap.

44. What kind of trap?

45. When our fleet approaches the enemy stronghold...

46. they'll time us, turn around and attack...

47. completely bottle us in, and annihilate us.

48. That kind of trap.

49. You've already seen it, haven't you? Even I can see it.

50. But you're jumping in, even though you know it's a trap.

51. Oh, geez.

52. Ordinarily, it's the young who get all excited, and the elders who restrain them.

53. Looks like the situation is reversed here.

54. Do you believe that I'll lose to Prince Lohengramm?

55. It's unfair of you to try to shut me up with that kind of talk!

56. I apologize.

57. You're right. That was an unfair way of saying it.

58. No... I was out of line.

59. I'm sorry.

60. Listen, Julian...

61. My principle has always been to try to win without fighting.

62. I'm not going to abandon that principle now.

63. There's a chance of victory?

64. Truthfully, not much of one.

65. But it's our only chance.

66. This is an invitation from Prince Lohengramm, who has seen through my plans.

67. It's his answer to my own rude invitation.

68. You can sense his will, so you'll meet him in open, formal battle?

69. I'm not so much of a romantic as that.

70. Right now, I'm trying to figure out...

71. how to use Prince Lohengramm's romanticism and pride to defeat him.

72. That's all.

73. Truthfully, I hope to win without too much effort.

74. So we'll just have to use a plan that doesn't require too much.

75. Anyway, don't get careless and try to do too much.

76. Don't worry about that.

77. I have no interest in overworking.

78. Thanks for worrying about me.

79. And...

80. Yes?

81. Nah. It's nothing.

82. Anyway, I'm going.

83. All right.

84. Free Planets, Rudmila - Supply Base

85. On April 11th, Yang's fleet docked at the asteroid supply base, Rudmila...

86. 1200, 11 April

87. to take on final supplies for the coming battle.

88. This is a message from the Fleet Commander.

89. The rest of today, until 2400, will be down time.

90. Even though it's only half a day, it'll be your final R&R.

91. Enjoy yourselves thoroughly and leave without regrets, everyone.

92. Leave without regrets, he said?

93. R&R on an asteroid with nothing but rock, eh?

94. Oh, well. Time to go seek a night of hot passion.

95. How about you?

96. Go back to my room and sleep.

97. You've got guts, announcing that kind of boring plan out loud.

98. Boring, you said?

99. Boring, if it was a joke.

100. Even more boring, if you really meant it.

101. You like telling jokes more than I do.

102. One cannot live by jokes alone.

103. But if there were no jokes, I'd rather not live.

104. Your very existence is a joke, man.

105. You've honed your sarcasm to a high level, Mr. Konev.

106. Not really. It's only the jealousy of a man who's no good with the ladies.

107. Don't dwell on it too much, Mr. Poplan.

108. Oh, Lieutenant Commander.

109. Julian, what're you doing until midnight?

110. I'm going to the cafeteria.

111. How about you, Frederica?

112. Admiral Yang called for me.

113. I wonder what he wants?

114. Huh?

115. Lieutenant...

116. Yes?

117. Ah... I mean, Lieutenant Commander...

118. Yes?

119. Miss Greenhill...

120. Yes?

121. Frederica.

122. Yes?

123. It feels like we've gone eleven years back in time.

124. It's the first time you've called me by my first name since El Facil.

125. Do you remember?

126. Thank you, Miss Greenhill.

127. Please call me Frederica, Lieutenant Junior Grade.

128. Frederica...

129. Frederica... when this war is over...

130. Hmm...?

131. I'm seven years older than you.

132. How should I say this...?

133. There are lots of things wrong with my lifestyle...

134. Upon reflection, I'm not sure whether I'm worthy of making this request...

135. I've even thought about pulling rank.

136. The battle's about to begin right before our very eyes...

137. Making this request is imprudent of me...

138. But regretting it after saying it would be better than regretting not saying it.

139. I'm a bit flustered...

140. I've just been talking only about myself.

141. Anyway...

142. Anyway...

143. I'd like to get married.

144. If we pool our pensions, living expenses shouldn't be a problem.

145. And... my parents were eight years apart in age, as well.

146. Maybe I should've mentioned it earlier.

147. So...

148. Yes? What is it?

149. I... I haven't heard your reply yet.

150. How about it?

151. Eh?

152. Yes, sir.

153. Yes, sir!

154. I'd be thrilled!

155. Thank you... or however I should say it...

156. Uh... what should I say...?

157. What should I say?

158. I see.

159. That fellow, Yang, has finally allowed his courage to give him a push.

160. It's basically a happy event.

161. Shall we drink a toast to it?

162. Sorry, I've already finished it.

163. You said that it was "basically a happy event."

164. What do you mean by that?

165. It's a happy event for Yang, because he'll finally have a bride.

166. Plus, she's excellent.

167. As for Lt. Cmdr. Greenhill, even though it may seem like she's asking for trouble...

168. it's a happy event because she's marrying the person she loves.

169. A funeral needs only one person. You can't get married without two people.

170. So why did you say "basically?"

171. The same reason why you drained your glass before we raised one in toast.

172. You have a thing for Miss Greenhill, don't you?

173. I wish the two of them all the happiness in the world - really!

174. I love both of them.

175. It's only natural that I...

176. I know. Want another one?

177. Yes. Watered down.

178. Say, Julian.

179. I know I'm intruding...

180. but love, and the human mind, can't be analyzed with formulas.

181. It's not so unusual for love to make you forget the sense of care and respect for others.

182. There's no logic. It's an uncontrollable urge.

183. To tell you the truth, it'd be worrisome if you became like that.

184. Your mind is keen, and your character is good.

185. But passion has nothing to do with mind or character.

186. Yes, I understand.

187. Hmm...

188. Good, if you do understand...

189. even if it's only your brain that does.

190. I wonder if they'll still call each other "Admiral" and "Lt. Cmdr." after they get married.

191. Oh, there's no way they would.

192. Nope. For a while after we got married...

193. she kept calling me "Lt. Cazellnu."

194. Every time she called me that, I stood to attention.

195. Anyway, this is for after we live through this.

196. After they get married, what'll you do, Julian?

197. You could continue living there.

198. I don't want to get in the way of newlywed life.

199. I'm not going to be a partypooper, so forget it.

200. Enough with the joking around.

201. There's a place I'd like to travel to.

202. Eh? Where?

203. Earth.

204. Earth?

205. Why? To go check out the words of the Earth Church for yourself?

206. Yes, something like that.

207. That's also for after they get married.

208. To your happiness.

209. Vermilion Starzone

210. What an inconstant sun.

211. If we don't stop Prince Lohengramm here, we have no future.

212. The 125 billion cubic light seconds around Vermilion...

213. are to be divided into ten thousand sectors...

214. and two thousand patrol units are to be assigned to them.

215. You want to know immediately when Prince Lohengramm...

216. enters this star system, don't you?

217. Well, yeah.

218. The one responsible for that operation will be Vice Admiral Murai.

219. I'm not too good at precision operations like this.

220. Oh, my.

221. The evacuation of El Facil, eleven years ago, destroyed any diligence I had.

222. This is advance scout unit F-02.

223. We've sighted the main enemy fleet!

224. Present location is sector 00864. sector 01227!

225. Distance from our position is 40.6 light seconds.

226. They're close!

227. Flagship - Sindur

228. Sir, should we pursue and destroy them?

229. Vice Admiral Rolf Otto Brauhitz

230. There's no point in going after scouts now.

231. We'd do better to track them and find out where their main fleet is.

232. Yes, sir!

233. Your Excellency.

234. We've determined the position of the enemy fleet.

235. We're likely to engage them in the Vermilion Starzone.

236. So it will be here after all.

237. Streit!

238. Yes, sir!

239. Order the troops to rest.

240. Yes, sir.

241. Since we know their position, we won't be surprised.

242. The troops may stand down for now.

243. Allow them three hours of R&R.

244. Alcohol is hereby permitted.

245. Yes, sir!

246. All troops, take three hours of R&R.

247. Please take turns eating your meals, and rest in the tank beds.

248. I don't think I need to remind you...

249. that Prince Lohengramm is an unsurpassed genius.

250. If we fight him at equal strength, we have no chance at winning.

251. That's highly probable.

252. However, I don't think you're that bad, either.

253. Haven't you already toyed around with three Imperial admirals?

254. That was nothing but good luck.

255. Maybe it was more, but it was basically all good luck.

256. Anyway, before the other fleets return...

257. The first one to return will probably be the Gale Wolf.

258. We must try to conclude it before then.

259. We'll use a tight formation, and pull the enemy into battle at close quarters.

260. Luckily, the enemy needs to destroy our entire fleet.

261. We only need to destroy one ship:

262. The flagship, Brunhild.

263. That shall be our advantage.

264. So, when the battle begins, we'll be going without sleep.

265. Everyone, please go and rest now.

266. Do you think that we can win, General?

267. That depends on whether you really want to.

268. I do want to win, from the bottom of my heart.

269. That's not enough.

270. If you don't believe in it yourself, how are other people going to believe?

271. If you were a professional soldier whose only goal was winning...

272. or you were a man of ambition who thirsted for power...

273. to either one, you're worth instigating.

274. If you were a man who believed unwaveringly in his own sense of righteousness...

275. and in his own sense of responsibility, it would be even easier to provoke you.

276. But you're a man who doesn't even believe in himself at all in battle.

277. A man who believes not in himself, but who always emerges victorious.

278. For a man who believes only in righteousness, that must be a hard existence to justify.

279. It's crazy.

280. I believe that being ruled by the worst democracy...

281. is preferable to being ruled by the best autocracy.

282. That's why I'm fighting Prince Reinhard von Lohengramm on behalf of Job Truniht.

283. I think it's a good principle.

284. Rudolf, who established the Galactic Empire...

285. became Emperor with the full support of the people.

286. What must it have been like before then, during the rule of a terrible democracy?

287. Something worth pondering, don't you think?

288. In other words, does rulership by the worst democracy provide better government...

289. than rulership by the best autocracy?

290. Which is better, indeed?

291. 1415, 24 April

292. All hands, red alert!

293. 84 light seconds to the enemy!

294. Oh, no... they're getting closer.

295. Of course they are! What're we supposed to do if they move away?

296. The enemy has penetrated the yellow zone!

297. They've fully entered firing range!

298. Fire!

299. The Battle of Vermilion began on an ordinary note.

300. Battleship Triglav

301. Both Reinhard and Yang feared that the other had some trick up his sleeve...

302. and thus used very conservate tactics to begin with, enabling them to react.

303. Battleship Agateram

304. But once the battle began...

305. against the wishes of the commanders on both sides...

306. the contested zones expanded.

307. The front line has asked for clarifications on how to proceed.

308. They may act in accordance to their own situation!

309. Why else would we have mid-rank commanding officers?

310. Do I have to make a command decision about everything?

311. Man, go discuss it with the enemy!

312. It's not like I have a choice in this matter!

313. Of course communications are going to be jammed!

314. Relay my orders!

315. Isn't that why we prepared shuttles beforehand?

316. Fleet Commander! Our flagship is too close to the front!

317. We might become a target for concentrated enemy fire!

318. Request permission to pull back a little.

319. Captain of the Hyperion Asadullah Chartian

320. The movement of the ship is up to the captain of that ship.

321. Do as you like, Captain.

322. Flagship - Theodoricus

323. So we're free to act on our own?

324. Excellent. All ships, charge!

325. Sir, are you sure?

326. We haven't received firing orders yet.

327. Communications have been jammed.

328. That just means that central command cannot react to the changing battlefield.

329. Sometimes, waiting for orders means losing our chance for victory.

330. The front line should react to front line conditions on its own.

331. But...

332. Look over there.

333. The enemy wants to break through the first line of defense, right?

334. Instead of waiting around here, we might as well join the front line...

335. and kill Yang Wenli with our own hands!

336. Why are we retreating this way? It makes it hard to direct the battle.

337. Sir...

338. The enemy formation is getting disorderly. Now's our chance.

339. Please take us to where I can get a better look at things.

340. What's Turneisen trying to pull?

341. Now! Fire!

342. What the hell is Turneisen doing?

343. Turneisen fleet, please respond!

344. Turneisen fleet, please respond!

345. What a hero.

346. Turneisen fleet, please respond!

347. His voice reaches far, but his eyes can only see what's right in front of him.

348. Turneisen fleet, please respond!

349. Turneisen fleet, please respond!

350. He's a man to keep away from.

351. If I'm still alive when this battle is over, I'll take your advice.

352. But right now, for the sake of survival, I have need of his fleet strength.

353. Get a shuttle, and get in touch with Turneisen!

354. Fire!

355. Well done.

356. Mother...

357. Mother...

358. Don't panic! Return fire!

359. The goal of the battle was not to inflict cruelty.

360. But righteousness and faith are most bloodthirsty.

361. In order to bring about those high principles they chant about...

362. those in command must burn countless men alive...

363. and smash them body and limb.

364. But as long as those in command are far from the battlefield...

365. they must continue to insist that righteousness and faith...

366. are more important than human lives.

367. If one were to be able to draw a line between Prince Lohengramm...

368. and those unworthy rulers...

369. it would be that he often stands foremost at the front line.

370. As for Yang Wenli, it would be the guilt that he feels so keenly at causing so much death.

371. "Do I have a right to pursue familial happiness?"

372. That was the biggest reason why...

373. he didn't reciprocate Frederica Greenhill's feelings before.

374. And now, having finally overcome that obstacle...

375. he still couldn't adjust to that feeling.

376. Universal Century 799, Imperial Year 490, April 26th.

377. Reinhard von Lohengramm and Yang Wenli were locked in a messy battle...

378. that neither of them had anticipated.

379. Preview of Next Episode

380. A fierce battle, in which both the Empire and the Alliance expended everything they had, continues...

381. and develops favorably for Yang, as he figures out Reinhard's fleet formation.

382. But the Muller Fleet arrives in support, and the tables are turned once again.
