Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet (2013) s01e12 Episode Script

Moment of Decision

1 This is We've been gathering what are thought to be weapons from among the sacred relics that have been brought up.
I-It's a mountain of treasure! Their restoration is your sacred duty.
Easy for you to say! I'm good, but what am I supposed to do without any clues What's this? I can see their insides! How awesome is that?! You may do as you wish with the items that are of no use as arms.
What?! Alright! Y-You can count on me! We will.
This is really somethin'! You come at a cheap price.
Did you say somethin'? I said that you come at a cheap price.
Satisfied with what you're given I thought you were a man with a little more backbone What's this now? What do you wanna say?! That flying Yunboro What about the tin can? I need to be able to borrow its power, you see I'm not seeing where this is going Actually, I've grown rather tired of this fleet's methods.
I'm returning to the pirate trade.
Right after this fleet's at the bottom of the sea Commander.
Would you cancel the attack against Gargantia? Why? Well If you feel an affinity towards them, then you had best enlighten them without a moment to lose, yes? To increase territory for the prosperity of humankind, we need superior people and resources.
But Ledo, our mission is to bring a new sense of order to this world.
Then that's no different from the Galactic Alliance If we can't return to the front line, we'll make this Earth into our utopia, a second Avalon.
Our rightful cause hasn't changed.
Don't waver now.
Yes, sir.
Moment of Decision This is incredible too.
Pinion-sama.
Someone would like to see you.
Oh, sure.
Come on in.
"Pinion-sama"?! Pretty high and mighty! Oh, it's you They searched through all my packages without permission! When did you become a VIP? It's not like I asked for it.
Here.
Avalon Utopia We'll make this Earth into our utopia, a second Avalon.
Don't waver now.
Grace! Hey! That's right Grace is on Gargantia with Amy.
Amy Here he is.
Pinion! Keep it short.
What the devil is wrong with the people of this fleet? They all act like ghosts.
It's like their eyes are glazed over.
It's weird.
Yeah, well At this rate, I'm sure the same thing is going to happen to the residents of my ship.
I'm wondering why we ever left Gargantia.
You don't mind the way things are going? Someone's plotting a rebellion.
What?! Really?! The red lobster that came to pick me up.
The Great Pirate Lukkage?! T-Then let's work with the lobster She's counting on the tin can, but there ain't no way Ledo would go for it.
But then then we're supposed to live like this the rest of our lives? Spread it out to collect the water! You're soaked.
You're gonna catch a cold.
Hey! What the hell is this? Chamber, what's happening?! The weather phenomena called rain, which we have observed before.
I cannot detect any particular abnormalities.
What is this? What?! We have received a great blessing from our divine god.
They shall now make the journey to god.
We give our blessings to those who die for the sake of the living.
W-What?! Stop! What are you doing?! They shall be eternally honored for the salvation of the human race.
People? Those are people, aren't they?! I didn't come here to see this.
They're insane Yes, that's right.
And this insane fleet is heading next for Gargantia.
What?! Yeah, this ain't for me.
I came here to protect everyone from the Hideauze.
Amy Bebel To protect them all, I You have received orders from Commander Kugel.
Ensign Ledo, prepare for war.
Board and assume battle command.
I await your decision.
Decision, huh? I make the decisions and you carry them out.
That's how it always was.
But maybe I never really made any choices at all.
Meaning of your utterance is unclear.
Response to the commander's order is Chamber! How does your fighting strength compare to Striker's? Unable to calculate due to lack of data.
Unable to comprehend point of the question.
Can you fight Striker? Well? Currently, the actions of Striker X3752 would not be classified as Alliance military duty.
It is possible to authorize engagement in battle.
I see.
In that case can I fight the commander? Chamber! The answer to that question is beyond my support system function.
In any case, combat policy formulation is in your hands, Ensign.
Please.
If we use a wireless, it will be intercepted.
The only way is to go over and tell them directly.
There's no time! But there's no way I can carry out an important role like that Right now, you're the only one who can fly over to Gargantia.
Please! Save everyone! Fine, but you owe me one! Chamber, prepare for war.
Roger.
Gargantia Melty! It was you! Amy Amy! Gargantia is gonna be attacked Melty! Can you believe it? She flew all the way over here on a surf kite.
Melty! Saaya Amy In order to protect Gargantia, we have no choice but to do as Melty said, changing course and evacuating.
From my point of view, I'd have to say Wait! Amy! Melty told me! She said Ledo is gonna let us get away and then fight! What?! He's gonna fight on his own, in our place! He's even gonna turn against an old friend to protect Gargantia! And we're just gonna run away?! You're okay with that?! But If that's what he's chosen, we have to make a choice as well.
Dr.
Oldham Ridget, it seems the time has come to use that key.
Heaven's Ladder Are you serious?! As this fleet's resident sage, it is my responsibility to offer counsel to the fleet commander.
That time is now.
Amy, I request your assistance as well.
We will make the world aware of my great will and the grand power of god! Here I declare the beginning of a new holy war! We will be victorious.
To bring absolute order to this planet To create a peaceful, glorious utopia on this planet follow me! It is the only path that will lead to eternal happiness.
Ledo Ensign Ledo.
What foolishness is this? You're the one that's acting the fool.
Hardly proper language for a soldier of the Alliance.
This is Earth! It's not the Galactic Alliance! But the human race resides on this planet.
And their fate is our responsibility.
Responsibility? Wrong! The people living on this planet have already built their own society! We have no reason to destroy it! Our rightful cause hasn't changed.
Don't waver now.
Stop! This is a battle between the gods! How is it so powerful?! Conjecture: Instead of an internal generator, its energy is from an external source.
So it's been conserving power?! Ledo.
Our mission is to bring a new sense of order to this world.
Pinion?! Pinion, withdraw! This is my fight! Up yours! You may be birds of a feather, but the one pretending to be a god pisses me off 10,000 times more! Ready for the next one! Kill him! What's this?! Citizens not participating in the battle, take shelter behind the bulkheads! Prepare the lifeboats! The main ship is this fleet's mother ship! Be prepared for it to become a target! No tolerance for a rebellion! Anyone who stands against us is the enemy! H-Her! Oh my.
I apologize if I have to get a little rough! You're more of a man than I thought! My opinion of you is revised upwards.
Shut up! Just scatter those bastards and get over here! My pleasure.
Having difficulty securing strategic advantage.
Suggestion: Hit-and-run tactics.
Concentrate attacks on enemy's head.
I don't wanna kill the commander! Warning: Enemy maneuverability is superior to mine.
The strong and the weak support each other through rationality.
That's what humans are.
Am I wrong? Ledo! Now! Hit 'im! Pinion! Yeah! Maximize generator power! Hey, Ledo, how about trying to change this planet with me? Approaching the enemy.
Input emergency release number.
It helps that you're here.
Well? Will you follow me again? Commander Rebooting attitude control system.
Ensign Ledo, your resistance is without meaning.
