Macross Frontier 1x23

Directed by Masami Furukawa

Due to insufficient resources in the Frontier Fleet, food is being rationed. As even oxygen is being lowered inside the colony, Alto cooks for a V-virus infected Sheryl as they pass the time peacefully. Right after that, Alto receives a shocking revelation about the origin of the Vajra and the power behind Ranka's song from Mr. Bilrer and Leon Mishima. Meanwhile, Brera and Ranka arrive at the the Vajra home system. However, they were soon attacked by Vajra patrols and Ranka was captured. While fighting his way towards Ranka, Brera encounters Grace O'Connor, who took total control over him using an obedience override in his cybernetic implants.

9. I can no longer remember the start of this journey.

10. When I awoke, I was simply here.

11. Infrared rays have torn the seasons apart,

12. and my eyes have become lost.

13. I'll probably lose

14. my dearest memories.

15. I fell in love as if I were at war.

16. I tried my best to dig up my dreams.

17. I wanted to land on that planet.

18. I wanted to fly through your skies.

19. Why won't someone gently brush against my empty silhouette?

20. I wanted to rescue the words of love that time erased.

21. That's why I need you to answer me one more time.

22. Bound by its fate, the Northern Cross is burning.

23. I've scratched you out and made you a blur in my mind,

24. but even so, I really loved your sweet smile.

25. I've scratched you out and made you a blur in my mind,

26. but even so, I really loved your sweet smile.

27. Spin around the stars in the centre of the world.

28. When you sneeze, a bunch of butterflies flutter about wildy in a distant forest.

29. You failed to protect the key to the door,

30. It's a pitiful story, but even if

31. a lion is ridiculed, he stays strong.

32. a lion is ridiculed, he stays strong.

33. I want to live on

34. I want to live on

35. I still want to stay alive.

36. Under the watchful gaze of the constellations.

37. I want to live on.

38. I'm at a loss,

39. I'm withering away into dust,

40. But I won't sleep

41. until I've shown my true colors.

42. until I've shown my true colors.

43. I want to live on.

44. I want to survive.

45. I love you,

46. so I won't fall asleep,

47. until I've shown you my true feelings.

51. Last Frontier

52. Don't tell me you're trying to sacrifice them for that!

53. What's wrong with that?

54. My Implant Network Theory combined with the Vajra's zero-time Fold communication could change the world!

55. But...

56. I don't understand you, Ranshe.

57. Are these creatures really worth protecting to the point of getting yourself that sick?

58. I wonder why they're fighting.

59. And she's the one always telling us not to fight, too.

60. Huh?

61. Um, aren't you...

62. What are you saying, Ranka?

63. We're almost there, Ranka.

64. That dream just now...

65. So this is...

66. The planet of the Vajra.

67. So we're abandoning two more islands now.

68. With this, the Frontier's environmental balance is beyond the point of self-repair.

69. This is quite effective, considering the short-term repercussions.

70. This was only a makeshift effort to prolong the life of the Frontier to begin with.

71. Shouldn't we be requesting the N.U.N.S.'s assistance on this matter, Mr. President?

72. Are you telling me to abandon this journey and just give up?

73. That is also one of the options we have at hand.

74. You should hear what the public is making out of the S.M.S.'s desertion;

75. they're saying that the S.M.S. are like mice abandoning a sinking ship.

76. Our journey will be over soon.

77. Then-

78. We will not be abandoning it,

79. but changing our focus to achieve something even better.

80. It looks so fragile from here.

81. And to think that I'd always thought of it as nothing but a narrow cage from which I'd never escape...

82. Permission to ask a question, Captain.

83. Go ahead.

84. Is it true that you're seeing Sheryl?

85. What gave you that idea?

86. I've been hearing rumors about it.

87. They've all been saying that she's the reason why you didn't go with the S.M.S.

88. Save your personal questions for someone else.

89. Haven't you heard about the Valkyrie jinx?

90. You're going to get shot down if you tease a fellow member about a woman during a mission-

91. Maruyama?

92. Sheryl-san...

93. Wha-

94. My, my.

95. Get her autograph for me later, Captain!

96. This is a public announcement from the Frontier government.

97. The oxygen levels within the ship are currently decreasing;

98. please make sure to wear an oxygen mask when stepping outside.

99. You have no idea how hard it was to hide it from everyone.

100. I didn't realize there was anything to hide about me.

101. You know that's not what I meant-

102. That's why I told you not to do anything.

103. But that would just frustrate me.

104. I'm a girl too, you know.

105. Don't worry yourself and just sit down.

106. You should be thankful that we're even able to get these kind of ingredients these days.

107. Come on, let's drink up.

108. What are we drinking to?

109. Does it matter?

110. I just want to drink to something.

111. Fine, fine.

112. I'll do it.

113. Cheers!

114. Cheers!

115. What's the rush?

116. I've always dreamed about moments like this.

117. Oh, I was just talking to myself.

118. Let's eat.

119. Bon appétit!

120. Wow, this is good!

121. You're not supposed to be this good at cooking.

122. That may not be alcohol, but if you keep drinking at this pace...

123. No surprises here.

124. None of that from you, Alto.

125. Geez.

126. You're such a handful.

127. You can't go back, okay?

128. Don't ever... leave me.

129. Okay.

130. I've never seen this bubbly, needy side of her before.

131. But I guess it's somewhat to be expected.

132. Thanks Brera-san.

133. You really didn't have to do all this for me.

134. Cyborgs with no memory data like us live by our orders.

135. That was in essence my only reason of being.

136. But something inside of me started to overflow when I heard your song,

137. even though I wasn't meant to be anything but a combat machine.

138. And this is how I intend to repay you for that,

139. so don't worry about it.

140. Brera-san.

141. Can I ask you one more time...

142. about that song?

143. That song, to me, is a memory.

144. It's the sole piece of memory adorning my otherwise empty soul.

145. Isn't that-

146. It's the Vajra's defense forces.

147. Are you really okay with this?

148. Yeah.

149. I'm sure my song will reach them.

150. It hasn't failed me yet, after all.

151. This is...

152. Ranka-san's song!

153. I guess the moment of truth is finally here.

154. Indeed.

155. Send the data my way too, Monica.

156. I'll help with the survey.

157. I'm counting on you guys.

158. The Vajra will definitely be on the move.

159. That brings back memories.

160. Yeah.

161. We'd play like this together all the time.

162. Brera-san?

163. This harmonica...

164. It's a charm.

165. It'll help your wish reach the others.

166. First Lieutenant Alto Saotome reporting for duty, Sir.

167. I'm sorry to call you out so suddenly.

168. Don't mention it.

169. I was the one who asked for you,

170. Alto-kun.

171. Did I surprise you?

172. You certainly look surprised.

173. Our probes just picked up a faint Fold signature.

174. We deduced the source to be Ranka-kun's singing.

175. That's right.

176. We've finally discovered the location of the Vajra home planet.

177. Why are you telling me this?

178. It's because we expect great things from you.

179. We would like your unwavering support in the battles we have ahead of us.

180. I don't mind fighting.

181. That's why I stayed behind.

182. But before I do, there's something I've been meaning to ask.

183. What is it?

184. Are we fighting to acquire Fold quartz?

185. I see.

186. You're right in the sense that the Vajra exhibit a tendency to collect raw Fold quartz

187. from stars and other stellar material.

188. But our primary goal is to survive,

189. and in order to secure the future of mankind, the Vajra must be defeated.

190. The future of mankind?

191. The Vajra are trying to wipe out all mankind,

192. using Ranka-kun as a foothold.

193. So they can't be reasoned with after all.

194. I'm sure that's not it, they're probably-

195. Keep your mouth shut; they're coming!

196. Our brains are what allow us to think.

197. As long as you have a brain,

198. no matter what shape or form you are,

199. you're capable of understanding the principles that govern human behavior.

200. But the Vajra are different;

201. we've finally figured it out.

202. How can they exist as living organisms when they don't have brains?

203. Their intestines, or the bacterial network within their intestines that emits Fold waves,

204. serve as centers for sending and receiving information.

205. And said network...

206. extends to the entire Vajra swarm,

207. with each Vajra acting like a single synapse within its designated space.

208. That's right.

209. "Individuality" or "thought" bears no meaning to the Vajra;

210. they simply function as a single swarm,

211. a single race, and a single living organism.

212. That eliminates the need for language,

213. no, the need for communication with others altogether.

214. The Vajra, in essence, are living organisms who form a network using Fold waves.

215. But what about Ranka?

216. I know her singing worked against them.

217. Have you ever thought about why it does?

218. The Vajra bacteria cannot infiltrate our intestines.

219. Yet they are able to invade our brains and bring death upon those they infect.

220. Any exception to this would mean

221. that one would have had to be infected in the mother's womb prior to birth,

222. and chose to coexist with the Vajra.

223. That being said, the Vajra must have tried to use her as well;

224. there simply isn't any other explanation.

225. And that's why the Vajra are after Ranka-kun.

226. She'll not only link our two races,

227. but also bring ruin to mankind.

228. Don't worry.

229. I'll protect you even if it costs me my life.

230. But...

231. I don't want you to do that.

232. I want to stop them.

233. I don't want them to fight.

234. That's why I came!

235. Looks like they found us.

236. Ai-kun!

237. Wait, Ranka!

238. Let everyone know that I have something to tell them...

239. Ranka!

240. Onii-chan?

241. Onii-chan!

242. Ranka!

243. Out of my way!

244. Damn it!

245. Well done, Brera.

246. But you can't get away from me just by getting rid of the tracer.

247. Commander...

248. It looks like the Vajra have noticed us, too.

249. Those annoying pests.

250. I hope you enjoyed running away with your sister.

251. My sister?

252. Ranka?

253. That's right.

254. But it's time for the magic to wear off.

255. The clock is about to strike midnight.

256. There may not be a cure, but there's still a way to slow down its progress.

257. So why-

258. Why are you hesitating now?

259. My powers have been getting stronger since I stopp7:31.78,MFMDF,Alt,0000,0000,0000, and why you want it.

260. Ranka…

261. I…

262. Alto…

263. I'm sorry, Big Brother.

264. This is all my fault.

265. I've been waiting for this moment!

266. I can hear the little queen.

267. Now we can…

268. The gate to the Abyss will open!

269. I got a notice, too. About Ranka.

270. What are you going to do?

271. It's so far.

272. I feel like I've come so far.

273. It feels like I just recently joined S.M.S.

274. Captain Klan, why did you join S.M.S?

275. It's traditional for my family to join the military,

276. so I didn't have any doubts about becoming a soldier.

277. I thought that was the way it was meant to be.

278. I thought so, too.

279. I thought I was meant to be an actor,

280. but I admired the sky and left my home to become a pilot.

281. Then I met her.

282. I joined S.M.S to protect her.

283. To fight and protect.

284. And ever since then…

285. You're talking about it like it's the past?

286. Maybe I've just been running until now,

287. pretending not to notice,

288. but I'm done with that.

289. This is a tiny, little world that crumbles when something is out of balance,

290. but everyone lives here.

291. They want to keep living.

292. So, if Ranka becomes the Vajra's tool and her song comes to destroy us,

293. I'll kill Ranka.

294. Alto…

295. Is that your love for her?

296. I knew this.

297. But just for now…

298. Just for a little longer…

299. We are still performing a visual analysis, but we believe it's a planet with Class-A habitability.

300. It is 30 light years away.

301. If we use all our accumulated energy, we could jump there.

302. Good. Send notice to all ships.

303. Frontier will now perform an emergency fold to the Vajra home world!

304. This is a notice from the Frontier Administration.

305. We are about to perform a 30 light-year short-distance fold.

306. It's finally time.

307. Yeah.

308. That planet is our promised land.

309. Let us begin our holy war.

310. PREVIEW

311. Mankind and Vajra crash against one another.

312. Their journey finally begins its final phase.

315. Last Frontier

316. Song of the final battle, echo throughout the galaxy!

317. Is that your love?

318. I've known it all along.

319. But just for now,

320. just for a little while...

321. We've only been able to perform an optical analysis so far,

322. but the planet seems to be a Class A Inhabitable Planet.

323. The planet is located thirty light years away;

324. we should be able to jump there if we were to use all the energy we have in reserve.

325. All right.

326. Transmit to all ships:

327. The Macross Frontier will as of this moment perform an emergency Folding to the Vajra home planet.

328. This is a public announcement from the Frontier government:

329. We will soon be performing a short-distance Folding to a location thirty light years away.

330. It's finally time.

331. Yeah.

332. That planet is our promised land.

333. Let us begin this holy war.

334. Mankind and the Vajra collide,

335. as Alto and the others embark on the final step of their journey.

336. Next time: Last Frontier.

337. Song of war, ring out across the galaxy!
