Legend of the Galactic Heroes 3x16

Directed by

All military campaigns for both the Alliance and Empire are put on hold to celebrate the new year. Admiral Lutz starts receiving multiple conflicting launch and Iserlohn defense orders. Reinhard is furious at Lutz's refusal to launch. Lutz finally launches with all his forces, hoping to sandwich the El Facil fleet between him and Thor's Hammer. The Rosen Ritter disable the Thor's Hammer with a previously encoded computer lock down code. The enemy infantry forces are superior in numbers, but not in skill or morale. The Rossen Ritter eventually enter a backup control room and fire the Hammer at Lutz's returning fleet. January 14th, 800 S.C. / 2 N.I.C.: Iserlohn is once again under Yang's control.

2. OF THE

3. Iserlohn Fortress

4. On January 22nd of Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

5. Yang Wenli arrived at the newly recaptured Iserlohn Fortress.

6. On January 19th, Commodore Desch's group...

7. which had escaped Planet Losiana, had also joined their fleet...

8. Commodore Desch

9. and adding a large number of volunteer soldiers from all over the place...

10. their forces were gradually increasing.

11. To get nostalgic coming back here...

12. It seems I'm unsuited for land.

13. He's relaxed only because there are no politicians.

14. Well, in a way, this is like the homecoming of a runaway son.

15. Is that something you're qualified to say?

16. Oh, it's Admiral Attenborough, who's in a revolutionary war out of foppery and whim.

17. I don't want to be called that by Commander Poplan...

18. who is always where trouble is and will create some if none exists out there.

19. That's right, isn't it?

20. Of course, I was born from parents called intemperance and indiscretion.

21. Corporal Katerose von Kreuzer

22. Are you trying to brag about it?

23. Well, not quite.

24. "Like attracts like," right, Julian?

25. You all seem to think that only you're an exception from it.

26. Hey, it's bad news.

27. There is a fleet of about 5,000 ships heading this way to join us from the Alliance.

28. What's bad about that news?

29. The ones leading it are the trio of Murai, Fischer, and Patorichev.

30. Vice Admiral Murai...!

31. That fussy man again?

32. Oh well, the picnic will turn into research.

33. Battleship - Hyperion

34. The fleet entrusted to Murai and the others by Trung Yu Chan...

35. took a long detour around Alliance Territory in order to hide its movements...

36. and was finally about to reach the vicinity of the Iserlohn Corridor.

37. While navigating through unknown space...

38. Starzone Farafirah

39. the fleet scattered in Starzone Farafirah due to the effect of the fixed star's explosion...

40. and although they regrouped as a result of much effort, Fischer fell ill from overwork.

41. Because of this, some flustered soldiers tried to leave the fleet...

42. and the fleet faced the danger of dissolution.

43. At that time, while Murai rallied the main group...

44. Patorichev and Soul arrested the mutineers, narrowly surviving the crisis.

45. Even afterwards, several accidents, mutinies, and other difficulties took place...

46. but despite that, the fleet made its arrival.

47. As if to follow the arrival of Murai and others...

48. a true shock seized Iserlohn at the end of January.

49. Chief Commander Bucock died in battle.

50. Admiral...

51. I heard you.

52. Isn't there any room for error in that report?

53. Every communications group that intercepted the news is reporting the same fact, so...

54. I see...

55. What's an "intelligent admiral" ?

56. I'm a helpless imbecile.

57. Considering Chief Commander Bucock's character...

58. the possibility of this was not unlikely.

59. But I didn't even foresee it.

60. Darling...

61. When we escaped from Heinessen...

62. I should've brought Chief Commander Bucock with us, even if I had to abduct him!

63. Isn't that right, Frederica?

64. If I had done that...

65. No... no, Darling.

66. If you consider Chief Commander Bucock's character...

67. he would never have agreed to escape from Heinessen.

68. The Commander chose his path on his own.

69. For you to feel responsible for the Commander's death...

70. is to belittle his choice.

71. I understand, Frederica.

72. You're right.

73. I'm sorry I got upset.

74. Announce this to the whole fleet, and order them into mourning for three days.

75. Yes, Admiral.

76. To the fulfilled life of the old man and his happiness in the other world.

77. This isn't good.

78. Their only merits are cheerfulness and cheekiness, but they're so down.

79. Not all of them are like you, whose nerves are made of wire ropes.

80. Fleet Admiral Bucock was a really good person...

81. so everyone's reaction is quite understandable.

82. What's that supposed to mean?

83. I'm talking about them as a group.

84. I'm saying sadness and melancholy don't suit them.

85. As for you, you should only worry about supplies and accounting.

86. If they were the kind of people who couldn't recover from this...

87. they never would've started a revolution against the Empire or the Alliance.

88. It's easier to just follow the power holders.

89. But they volunteered to take on all those troubles...

90. and they're still doing it like it's some sort of a festival.

91. That's exactly right.

92. They're all idiots.

93. Without even one exception.

94. I missed the chance to become the wife of the Chief of Rear-Echelon Headquarters.

95. Whose fault was that?

96. You didn't disagree with what I did!

97. When I came home after throwing my resignation at them...

98. you already had our belongings stuffed in suitcases.

99. Of course!

100. If you were the kind of person who'd let down his friends and hold on to your position...

101. I would have divorced you a long time ago.

102. Having to tell children that a husband does not value friendship...

103. would be shameful for a woman.

104. Good grief...

105. Well, Honey, go invite Mr. and Mrs. Yang over.

106. People who are alive will have to eat for dead people, too.

107. For our fleet, festivity is a necessity we cannot do without.

108. To borrow someone's phrase, "We're fighting out of foppery and whim," after all.

109. But our representative, Chief Commander Yang, is feeling down to that extent...

110. It seems you're thinking of your commander as some sort of a rare animal.

111. Since you haven't been with us very long, you probably don't know this...

112. but Fleet Commander Bucock was a remarkable old man...

113. who was too good for the likes of the Alliance.

114. It's regrettable that I have to speak of him in the past tense.

115. So it's only natural that we mourn for him...

116. Don't you think we should think of a way for a true memorial?

117. You mean?

118. Fight against the Imperial forces and win!

119. I would think it's better not to talk of results without saying how.

120. As for the "how," our Fleet Admiral will think up something.

121. That's his only merit, you know?

122. Fleet Admiral Yang and deceased Fleet Admiral Bucock are both very fortunate men.

123. They're loved and respected by all of you.

124. But Commander Schneider, when you think about it, you're not very clever.

125. If you had stayed with the Empire, you could've climbed the ranks under Kaiser Reinhard.

126. Frederica, there's one thing I'm concerned about.

127. What is it?

128. I heard the Imperial Fleet is approaching Heinessen.

129. When that happens, Council Leader Lebello might be assassinated...

130. by the rebellious military faction to pander to the Empire.

131. No! They'd go that far?

132. The Council Leader himself gave them the example, when it happened with me.

133. Of course, the Council Leader had his justifications...

134. and he wasn't doing it just for the sake of his own security.

135. But there are bound to be those who will copy the format alone.

136. Planet Heinessen

137. Yang's prediction became a reality in no time.

138. High Council Building

139. 02 February

140. Chief of Headquarters, what brings you here?

141. I have no recollection of calling you.

142. Your recollection isn't of importance.

143. We came here because we wanted to.

144. Are you going to kill me?

145. Can you give me your reasons?

146. Because we can't trust you.

147. Which means?

148. When the Imperial Fleet asked for Yang Wenli's head, you gave it to them right away.

149. You'd do the same if they asked for my head.

150. True.

151. Therefore, this is purely in self-defense, and not an act out of a desire for power.

152. If it's in self-defense, then this is quite unnecessary.

153. There is no way the Empire will demand your heads.

154. That's because you're not Yang Wenli.

155. The one who taught us this method was you, Sir.

156. You tried to protect yourself by turning Fleet Admiral Yang into a scapegoat.

157. You're reaping the harvest you sowed by dying in this fashion now.

158. I'm reaping the harvest I sowed, huh?

159. That may indeed be what it is...

160. but justifying my death and justifying your actions...

161. are supposed to be two completely different things.

162. Between my compunction and your compunction...

163. there's a distinct difference in the guilt assigned to it.

164. But sure, go ahead and shoot me.

165. And buy your security.

166. Lebello's death and the unconditional surrender proposed by Rockwell...

167. High Admiral Karl Robert Steinmetz

168. was relayed to the Imperial Main Fleet by the Steinmetz Fleet...

169. which had arrived at Heinessen ahead of it.

170. In any case, this should be called a bloodless capitulation...

171. and the Imperial Fleet sped up its pace for Heinessen.

172. Bagdashu, who was gathering intelligence in the area around the capital...

173. relayed this information to Iserlohn.

174. With this, they signed their own death warrant.

175. Kaiser Reinhard will never pardon them.

176. On February 9th, Reinhard von Lohengramm...

177. became the first Galactic Emperor to ever step on the surface of Planet Heinessen.

178. Kaiser Reinhard visited the body of Lebello immediately afterwards.

179. It was only a formality, and no comment in particular was uttered by him...

180. but it was said to be perfectly in accord with decorum.

181. Relay the aforementioned items to Reuental, Mittermeyer, and Muller.

182. I'm sorry to disturb your surroundings.

183. I beg for your lenience and forgiveness for my inattention.

184. There's no need for a roundabout statement.

185. What happened?

186. Yes, sir.

187. Some republicans among the masses committed the unforgivable crime...

188. of attempting to claim Your Majesty's life.

189. What did you do with them?

190. Did you arrest them?

191. We encircled them, but they killed themselves there.

192. It's a grave offense of regicide.

193. We cannot let this go without punishment regardless of their deaths.

194. I would like to investigate their backgrounds immediately, and take appropriate measures.

195. Don't do such an unnecessary, useless thing.

196. As for their bodies, return them to their bereaved.

197. I repeat: you must not harm their families.

198. Huh?

199. Are you dissatisfied?

200. Your loyalty to me is valuable, but if it goes too far, it will turn me into a Rudolph.

201. Yes, Your Majesty.

202. As seen in examples like this, Kaiser Reinhard, as a conqueror...

203. was merciful toward the citizens of the Alliance.

204. Heinessenpolis Capital Government Office

205. What do you mean, "the pledge of loyalty to the Emperor" ?

206. In the Free Planets Alliance, there is the Head of State who is elected by its citizens...

207. but there is no such thing as an "Emperor."

208. Council Officer Vissius Adler

209. I have no reason to take orders from something that doesn't even exist.

210. The Office of the Committee of Financial Affairs, the National Treasury Department Chair -

211. Claude Montaigne

212. The right to view the national assets list is given only to citizens of the Alliance...

213. who fulfill the obligation of tax payments.

214. Also, governmental servants are obligated to perform duties...

215. in accordance with the Alliance constitution and their own conscience.

216. I too consider my life invaluable.

217. Once I became a public servant, I couldn't go without performing my humble duties.

218. What is this statement?

219. The Supreme Council Secretarial Department, Junior Secretary

220. Graham Evert Noelbaker

221. On February 11th, a man calling himself the Emperor of the Galactic Empire...

222. a man named Reinhard von Lohengramm...

223. requested to inspect the Council Room without legal right.

224. It's just as I read it.

225. This more than surpasses lese majesty.

226. If you remove that statement, I might let you go without punishment this time around, but...!

227. I can't.

228. Remove it!

229. I refuse.

230. You...!

231. They're remarkable men.

232. The Alliance perished precisely because such men were kept below the mid-level ranks.

233. Don't punish them.

234. For the time being, appoint obedient ones only to operate internal affairs.

235. I acknowledge your order, Your Majesty.

236. Of course, Reinhard wasn't unlimited in his forgiveness.

237. The time I have to spare for you is too precious for me.

238. I ask you one thing.

239. When you killed the Council Leader, where was your sense of shame?

240. Are you saying we're shameless?

241. If it can be interpreted any other way, it must be the infelicity of my phrasing.

242. We... um...

243. Admiral Fahrenheit fought against you as an admiral with the Aristocratic forces.

244. But now, he has switched his loyalty to serving Your Majesty.

245. In that case, I would think that we too are deserving of your favorable treatment.

246. Did you hear that, Fahrenheit?

247. These men claim that they are the same as you.

248. I feel very much honored.

249. Good.

250. Fahrenheit, my feeling is the same as yours.

251. Although it may not suit your preference to shed blood off the battlefield...

252. I especially order you:

253. Rid me of these disgusting hyenas and cleanse one corner of the universe.

254. Yes, Your Majesty.

255. I ask for a trial! I ask for legal protection!

256. It may have been the case for the former dynasty, but in the Lohengramm Dynasty...

257. there is no law that protects traitors!

258. Don't make such a useless plea!

259. It turned out precisely as you predicted, Fraulein.

260. Maybe humans are capable of committing...

261. far more shameless acts than they imagine they are.

262. If they hadn't faced adversity...

263. they might have gone without discovering such ugly facets of themselves.

264. If I were to liken them to the effluvium of sewage...

265. then that old man who died at Marr-Adetta was the pure water of the mountains.

266. Can you bring me a glass of white wine, Emil?

267. A Phoenix revives from within the ashes.

268. From half-burned ground, revival cannot be gained.

269. That old man knew it.

270. I will execute them and make them apologize to that old man in Valhalla.

271. That was Reinhard's tribute to the deceased.

272. On the next day, Kaiser Reinhard's proclamation was announced.

273. Even for those who fought as enemies of the Imperial Forces...

274. the bereaved families of the Alliance soldiers who died in the battle...

275. as well as injured soldiers, will be treated kindly.

276. Now is no longer the time to move history with hatred.

277. When they heard the proclamation...

278. the shock to the Alliance government bureaucrats wasn't at all insignificant.

279. The Alliance did not only lose to the Empire through its military power;

280. They were flustered by the grave fear...

281. that the charisma of one individual had won over the body politic of republican democracy.

282. In fact, within the Alliance citizens...

283. there was an atmosphere receptive to rule by the Empire.

284. That's why...

285. because Kaiser Reinhard is a brilliant ruler...

286. he is the worst enemy of republican democracy.

287. On February 20th, the Imperial order at the Garden of Winter Roses was delivered.

288. I, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Reinhard von Lohengramm hereby declare:

289. The Free Planets Alliance has lost the substance with which to uphold its name...

290. and has met its complete demise.

291. Today, the only political body that legitimately governs the human race is the Galactic Empire.

292. At the same time, the existence of the Free Planets Alliance...

293. which was disregarded in past history as a dishonorable rebel force...

294. is hereby publicly acknowledged.

295. How severe of the Kaiser.

296. The existence of the Alliance was acknowledged for the first time after its demise.

297. Strictly as a thing of the past.

298. Well, it seems they no longer have the willpower to recoil against that.

299. Mein Kaiser, the celebration ceremony is now prepared.

300. Please return to the hotel.

301. Right.

302. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

303. Sieg Kaiser!

304. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

305. I've finally come this far.

306. I have become the most powerful existence in this universe.

307. But...

308. if things had gone the way they should have...

309. I could have become even more powerful than I am now.

310. If half of my wings hadn't been torn off for my own sins...

311. Sieg Kaiser!

312. Sieg Mein Kaiser!

313. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

314. On February 20th, Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

315. the 273 year history of the Free Planets Alliance ended.

316. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

317. Preview of Next Episode

318. Kaiser Reinhard declares that he himself will retake Iserlohn Fortress.

319. Isolated and with no allies...

320. Yang Wenli and the others, despite being put in a most disadvantageous situation...

321. and facing numerous problems, cannot give up fighting.

322. To bring the seeds of democracy to flower.
