Blue Gender (1999–2000): Season 1, Episode 17 - Eclosion - full transcript

Marlene notices that Yuji's behavior is getting stranger and stranger. On the battlefield he is a force to be reckoned with, but he has an unhealthy obsession with destroying the Blue.

hito-suji no hikari wo motome
Seeking out a single ray of light,

hitasura doko made mo tada samayou All
I can do is wander on, no matter how far.

akirame ni nita tameiki wo tsuki-nagara
As I breathe a sigh not unlike surrender,

kizutsuku koto wo osoretaku nai yo itsu mo I don't
want to fear how I've been hurt, all the time.

Set me free now!

saa tokihanate subete toki no kanata ni Come
on, let it all go, to the far reaches of time,

tamashii wo shibaru mono wo
From that which binds the soul!

For my heartbeat!

jiyuu wo buki ni Make
freedom your weapon,

kitto te ni ireru no yo And
you are sure to attain it!

shinjiru chikara wo yume wo The
power to believe and dream is there



ikite yuku tame ni
for you to go on living.

It's quiet... Almost as if
everything has gone to sleep.

Don't you think so, Yuji?

Yuji...?

Yuji?

What is it, Marlene? Have
you detected any Blue?

No.

You're looking forward
to the Blue that much?

What's that?

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

They're coming!

Blue approaching!

Let's go, Marlene!

Yeah!



It's begun.

Aw! I wanted to
support Yuji in the city.

You should probably give that
up. You'd just hold Yuji back.

How nice of you to say so.

Save the chit-chat until
after the mission is completed.

The target Nest is 20
kilos ahead. Stay sharp.

Copy. Once the
Nest is destroyed,

we'll head for the
rendezvous point immediately.

A detached force?

Are you seriously saying
this? A diversionary mission?

Yes. If we're to arrive at the return
shuttle departure point on time,

this Nest is in the way.

But if we were to
detour around it,

we will not make it to
the shuttle in time. Right?

As I draw the Blue out, everyone
else take out the Nest. By doing so,

we can all get back to
Second Earth together.

You make it sound so simple. I guess
we should expect that from a Sleeper.

It certainly is an
interesting mission...

As he is now,
Yuji can't handle it.

- Tony!
- Wait!

If you like, how about
we let this decide?

Heads, Yuji diverts
them, tails, I do.

You got it.

It's heads! Yuji wins!

Don't die, now.

Yuji!

Why, you...!

You okay?

Yeah.

Still, you're completely overworked.
At this pace, your own body will also...

You mind your own business!

I was the one who proposed this
mission! I absolutely must not fail!

I can do it as well!

Yuji!

Marlene...

It's wondrous, isn't it? Even
with this many humans gone,

the Earth continues
to live on, unchanged.

Wait, Yuji!

Children?

There are no more Blue
around here. Let's go.

Not very charming. He has
no sense of cooperation, huh?

Alicia, no more chatter.
We're still on the mission.

Phooey...

Impossible... how can there
be people in a jungle like this?

Is there any one else around?

Marlene,

don't split up!
We're on a mission!

I'm a friend.

A friend.

Are there any other people? If there
are, would you tell me where they are?

I see.

Yuji, let's go.

Don't interfere!

It's them!

Marlene!

Wait! Don't get
separated! It's dangerous!

Yuji! The children!

Shut up!

Move it!

Stop it.

Stop it, Yuji! There
are still people here!

Stay out of the way!

Yuji!

What's that?

The Blue Nest has
been completely pacified.

There is no sign of the existence
of any potentially active Blue.

It's over at last! I want to take a
shower and freshen up right away!

Reporting our
unit's current status.

Casualties: 0;
Damaged vehicles: 0;

Remaining ammunition:
90% or better in each rig;

Remaining power: 90% or better.

The mission is concluded without incident.
Hastening to the rendezvous point.

Copy. Yuji's unit,

break off mission actions at once
and hurry to the rendezvous point.

No way!

Marlene?

There are still people
surviving in these woods!

Marlene!

You goddamn bug!

Yuji!

You bastard!

Now to finish you!

Say, looks like our unit's the
only one that had no one hurt.

Now, when it clears tomorrow,
we can return to Second Earth.

All thanks to Tony and Yuji.

These Sleepers
were really something.

Don't be jealous of them.
They're different from us.

Different?

Sure they are, those of
us raised on Second Earth.

Just so long as we do
well here, you know?

What are you talking about?

About how you at least will
always be one of our friends.

How's that? Oof! Time to change
the watch. Don't let us down.

Yeah, yeah.

Yuji's not around. Say,
say, how was Yuji today?

He's so cool, you know?
Yuji! Don't you think?

After all, to think he would go on
that diversionary mission by himself...

Tony is also definitely awesome,
but there's nothing cute about him.

If I were to pick a boyfriend,
it would definitely be Yuji.

I really like a strong man.

No.

That... isn't the real Yuji.

What do you mean, the real Yuji?
I only know the Yuji there is now.

Aah, Marlene,
you're jealous of Yuji.

As a soldier, you wanted to always
be better than him. That's it, isn't it?

No, it isn't.

That's not it. I... I...

Marlene?

What's she getting all serious
for? It's worth it to tease her. Yow!

What are you doing?

Confirming our return
schedule to Second Earth.

I do not want us to be late.

Marlene...

It's great that you're so dedicated,
but is it okay for you to not get any rest?

If I could handle this thing a little
better... if I could tune in better...

this thing's performance
should be higher.

I see...

Yuji, how do you suppose
those children are doing now?

Do you suppose they
lived through all that safely?

There's no helping them.

If we are to exterminate the Blue, that
is something we can't do anything about.

Besides, eventually, they were to
have been killed by the Blue anyhow.

A- are you seriously
saying that?

If I let myself be distracted by
such things, I won't catch up to him.

This is nothing near the
Blue that he has killed.

Those marks...

If only I were stronger, had more
power... then even Tony would...

The Blue are
raiding! It's the Blue!

Let's go!

This is the real thing at last!

Their situations are indisputably
advancing. Just as we speculated.

Yes. We are moving
on to the next step.

The day when we can
return to Earth is near.

hohoemi kasaneta hibi ga Although
the days when we smiled again and again

maboroshi ni natte mo Have
passed away into dreams,

I will surely not lose my way.

While choosing two dreams,

soshite ai ga oshiete kureta yo ne
And love taught me what it means...

hito wo omou imi
to cherish someone.

Oh, are you still at it, Yuji?

Finally, I've caught up with you!
I'm not about to be left behind alone!

A Sample for data purposes...

a comrade's existence not being omitted
- the environment has already changed!

Why is that man keeping
me here...? Or is it...

Wait! Yuji!
