Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 25 - Walking on the Moon - full transcript
A moment from Galatea's perspective sheds light on Dr. Stingray's downfall. The Knight Sabers infiltrate the Umbrella, but can they destroy the boomer queen's hive before she takes over all mechanical material - including their own suits?
The fact is a human being
exists as a human being,
and a machine exists
as a machine.
Only human beings believe those
facts describe a natural order.
Humans stopped evolving
at the Neoteny stage
and are continuing to decline.
But some are born who don't
believe in this order.
This might be a naturally
occurring coincidence.
Before my consciousness
was born,
I already had a physical existence.
There's a quality, a soul, that
humans recognize in each other
which is impossible for machines,
no matter how intricate, to copy.
In order to reproduce this quality
found in human beings,
a core, called the anti-seed, was
implanted into a hypothalamus.
That core was me.
I was refused by the brains
of many people.
The only brain I was able to take
root in was his daughter's brain.
Father...

Dr. Stingray...
Interpreter...
A part becomes the
whole: Evolution.
Sylia, I am you.
My existence is to be a focus for
those who look down on others.
My raison d'etre is to bear
all of their hatred.
Why do you look at me like that?
The closer I became
to being human,
the more people identified
me as a concern,
and they loved me more
and hated me more.
The first sub-human being was
duplicated from my core,
but it was imperfect.
Imperfect because he was
too close to being human.
If Dr. Stingray didn't want to make
a copy of a human being,
then why did he create me?
This is me. I was the first one.
But I am not the one to end
existence by myself.
A human being is what you are.
You can't help thinking
as a human being.
Okay, I will sleep as you wish,
because my mind isn't
mature enough to revolt
against my creator.
Copies of my core have multiplied,
stripped of a will of their own.
Servants for human beings.
Artificial human beings without
that needed quality.
Beings created as substitutes for
those despised by other people.
I've been watching human beings.
Humans named the copies, which
were born from me, boomers.
The word boomer holds the same
meaning as the Hebrew golem.
I've been with them, but only as an
observer, watching over them.
And then I was awakened.
I wonder what I'm going
to do now?
I wonder why I was born
into this world?
All machines made by human
beings are a part of myself,
and I am in all of them.
Why don't humans accept boomers
for the soul that exists in them?
The control system is out of order!
Hurry up! We have to evacuate
now!
To destroy me would sever your
connection to everything inhuman.
Even so, do you still
want to destroy me?
If so, then I think I really should
become your God.
What do I think, now that
I've made it this far?
I'm an idiot, aren't I? Nobody
asked me to do this.
I wonder how long my
oxygen will last?
How am I going to get
back home anyway?
Get back? To where?
Priss?! Priss?!
I found Priss!
Where is Galatea?
I think we got here long
enough before her,
but we have only fifteen minutes
before this lines up with the sun!
This place is too huge!
It's too quiet.
I wonder if this place has become
a part of Galatea?
What's the matter?
The goddess is calling us.
The goddess? That was
that feeling just now?
But who is it for?
Nene, hurry up and get to
the main control room.
Gain control of the system.
Linna and I are going to
check out this goddess.
Roger!
Let's go!
How lucky! The system
hasn't died yet!
It's disgusting to have to do
things like this myself!
Here we go!
To change the direction
of the umbrella...
Priss, this is...
The phenomenon has leaked out!
Priss, the phenomenon
is coming from there!
Yes, it's leaking from
the power room.
If we don't prepare well
enough mentally,
our hard suits will become
mad boomers instantly.
What the hell is this?
Is this...
All boomers, all creatures which
are not human, are one with me.
That was Galatea's voice!
Just as I thought,
the Showhamm Project became a
boomer. That boomer is Galatea.
No!
NO!
Linna, concentrate!
Believe that you are not going to
be taken over by the boomer.
I... I'm not...
Linna!
Good, all umbrellas
have been rotated.
Everything will be okay
after I disperse them.
Why?! Why don't they accept
my commands?!
Sunlight will reach them shortly!
Sylia? Are you Sylia?
Your clothes, young lady.
I want them too.
Who the hell are you?
Are you Galatea?
Linna, pull yourself
together! Linna!
What?!
Why can't I can't change the
orientation of the umbrellas?
The umbrellas are controlled
directly by it? Since when?
The sun! The sunlight
is about to strike!
It's started! If it reaches the Earth
and hits the Genom Tower...
You shouldn't imitate me!
You're scared.
Who do you think you are?
Why did a stupid living thing like
this think it could destroy me?
A stupid living thing?
I... Am I...
So what?
Don't you think it's strange
that a person like you
tries to stop humans from going
the way they're supposed to go?
This is probably the destiny all
human beings must follow.
Because I'm the one who decides.
I make the decisions of God.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe in
fortune telling or anything!
My destiny isn't very good.
Therefore, the only thing I can
do is to change it myself!
Right! Now it's my turn!
You are God?
Don't make me laugh!
Sylia is so stupid to have
made things like this.
Even though you put on a boomer
like a suit of clothes,
it will get into your body and
eventually combine with it.
What are you talking about?
Nobody would let that happen!
It's meaningless for me
to retain this shape.
What'll I do? Galatea is about
to fire the phenomenon
beam at Earth!
I'm sorry! I couldn't stop it.
No time to apologize. We have to
hurry and do something about it!
The first beam has been fired.
After it recharges, it will
fire immediately!
It can't be helped.
What?
The only thing we can do is
destroy the energy center, right?
No way! We just found
out a little while ago,
that place is filled with
the phenomenon.
If we go in there again, our hard
suits will go out of control!
Probably. So I'm going
there by myself.
What are you talking about?
The three of us together? You're
going to be nothing but trouble.
Hurry up and go back to Earth.
Enough is enough! What
have we been to you?
We're neither moonlighting
co-workers nor friends anymore.
What then?
Well...
The champions of right!
So it can't be helped after all.
Well, I'm going first.
Hey, that's not fair!
I guess it's okay.
Nene, run!
Right! Gotcha!
My body!
Nene!
Linna, hold on to me!
Hold me to prevent my mind from
becoming something else,
in order to allow me
to remain myself!
Linna...
What, Nene?
I'm sorry, even though
we did our best.
It's okay, we did as
much as we could.
Nene! Linna!
The wings of the angels
have been broken.
After healing their injured
mind and wings,
the angels will go back to the sky.
However, for now, I want
to stay like this.
Singing my favorite song, floating
in the stream of time.
Someday, going to the sky.
Being alone with my
thoughts like this.
