Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 21 - Close to the Edge - full transcript

The Sabers' new suits let them unlock a new power when they get entangled in the Dragon Line! Back at Sylia's mansion, the group celebrates their victory - but Galatea sends them a late night surprise.

You're Priss, aren't you?

Is this the new moto-slave?

In order to fit your new suit, I had
to make a minor change.

So don't expect too much.

No, that's not true!

The one before was just a vehicle,

but this is...

I know.

This will be a part of my body.

Well now...

Shall we go?



I'm going by myself.

What the hell are you
talking about now?!

You'd be in my way.

Damn, this gun is totally useless!

I understand, but promise me that

you'll come back alive.

Idiot!

Priss!

When you come back,

without the helmet, okay?

Damn...

Linna! Nene!

What is this?!

This monster is trying
to fuse with our suits!



What?! Oh, no!

Sylia!

We can't get close
without preparation.

I'm sure if we cut the line
somewhere, it'll stop moving.

Then...

Just as I thought, I have to
cut it off at the bottom!

It hurts.

My body...

I can't take it anymore.

Nene, hold on!

Linna?

We'll be all right, Nene.

I know Sylia will rescue us,
and Priss will too!

Linna, are you all right?!

Hey, Linna!

I'm fine. I refuse to lose
to something like this!

You're right. I'll hang in there!

What was that? Linna, Nene?

Priss!

Priss...

Priss!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Priss...

Now, what should we do?

The only way to stop it
is to cut the line.

Cover me.

I'm going in!

Sylia!

Damn!

Priss!

That's it!

It doesn't work from the outside!

Sylia!

It's so miserable to have to wait

without doing anything, isn't it?

Trust them. It's also
about being brave.

Sure.

You've got a good point.
I like you.

Would you please allow
me to join you?

Mr. Meisio!

There are no other people
left in Tokyo except us.

I felt lonely by myself in my room.

Mr. Meisio, please sit with us.

Thank you for your
kindness, Mr. Mackey.

Priss...

Do you think you've stopped me?

Are you two all right?

Yes...

Somehow...

Priss...

Damn!

Damn!

Priss!
Damn!

Priss!

Good!

Just as I thought.

Sylia!

Everyone!

Listen, Priss.

Listen to me, everyone.

I think you already
noticed that our suits

have been affected by
some kind of power.

We're going to use this power.

This worm is just being violent
without any logic to its actions.

So we're going to control it
by imposing our own logic.

Control a huge monster like this?

We will! Believe in yourself!

Understood.

Priss!

I understand.

Go!

I see it!

Sylia!

Nene... Linna...

Where's Priss?

Priss!

Cheers!

I'm home.

Yeah.

Here, Nene, you're
hungry, aren't you?

Thanks.

Geez, am I the only
one being left out?

Oh, please have some.

Thank you!

Please...

Well, it's pretty
strange after all.

What is?

Not long ago, I hated
the Knight Sabers,

because they dealt with
our enemies so easily

even though we had a hard time
handling them ourselves.

But now we're having
drinks together.

What do you think of us now?

Well, you sure are incredible.

Actually, I've thought
that for a long time.

I've been envious of you.

Say...

Do you remember that promise?

You know.

Without the helmet?

Silly.

Another drink please.

As I expected.

Mackey, this bacon
sandwich is also good.

Here.

Is anything wrong?

It's funny, isn't it?

What?

Tokyo became the hell it is now,

the people ran away, and
the roads are all closed.

Actually, we're stuck in a
horrible situation.

However, I'm having fun
being here like this.

I've never had so much
fun in my entire life.

Mackey...

I wonder how long I'll be
able to remember this.

Oh yeah, I just remembered,
I have something I must do.

Mackey, hey!

You can't be serious!

Really?

What are you going to do now?

I will continue our efforts to
resist them from this base.

As I already told you,

I want to find out what the
relationship is between us
and our suits.

The relationship with your suits?
Even if there are more victims?

No!

That's not true.

I didn't mean...

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry.

Also, I have to settle
everything with that girl,

but until then...

I can't access anything.
This system is such a waste.

Hey, what are you doing?

Back ups.

I want to copy all the data to
media when I have time.

All of this?! That'll
take a huge number of disks!

Yes, that's why I do it
whenever I have time.

Mackey...

What's the matter?
Can't you sleep?

No, I just woke up.

I thought that girl was
doing something again.

A boomer!

Where did it come from?

What?!

Oh, no!
What?!

Oh, no!

What the hell is that noise?!

It's an alarm.

Mackey!

Mackey, what are you doing?!

Oh, Nene!

What is it?

Enemies!

Where is everyone?

It's just us in here.

Can you investigate the situation?

Yes!

What's going on?

There are boomers on the
roof of the building.

Not just on the roof, they've
already invaded the building.

What did you say?

I can't believe it.

The security system here shouldn't
be that easy to penetrate.

Look, there's nothing on the
security camera screens.

But there are signs of
boomers everywhere.

They're already in the shop!

I understand.

Shut down the building above
the shop as well as the
underground facilities.

Shut down complete.

No way! I completed the
shut down properly.

It can't be! Where are they?

The lower floors...

Oh, no, they invaded this
building with ease.

This just can't be!

I see. It's a new idea.

Did I say something?

What?

An earthquake at a time like this?

What the hell?

What was that?

Oh, no! The enemies
are coming closer.

They're coming.

They're here!

Damn! Come on, you monsters!

Leon!

I know a gun like this is
totally useless, but...

I don't want to wait any longer.

Leon...

Nene!

No way.

It can't be, but...

They're already in here!

Don't be ridiculous, Nene.

They're definitely not here!

Pull yourself together, Nene!

But...

What's going on?

They're coming from the
swimming pool on the roof.

I can't believe this is Tokyo.

It's been transformed
into a strange city now.

A gray city with the scars left by
a horrible evil clearly visible.

There's no sign of human beings.

Only boomers fused with
machines make a little noise
as they move at random.

We need to run away to some
place they haven't touched yet.
