Wanna watch it?

Sore wa ai ja nai

That isn't love

Ai wa sore ja nai

Love isn't that

Aishite iru kedo aisarete wa inai



I am in love, but I am not loved

Kesshite ai ja nai

Definitely isn't love

Ketsu wa ai ja nai

Derriere isn't love

Aisaretai keredo
motometari wa shinai

I want to be loved,
but I never seek it out

Kono mi sasagete inochi nagedashi

I offer myself and throw my life away

Wakime mo furazu tada hitasura ni

Looking neither left nor right,
I will just earnestly

Damashite sukashite yokohairi

Cheat, wheedle, interfere

Tanin o fumitaoshi keri o kamashite



And trample down and kick strangers

- Tonzura koite!
- Tonzura koite!

- And we get the hell out!
- And we get the hell out!

- Tonzura koite!

Tonzura koite!

And we get the hell out!

Banana no kawa de korondemo

Even if I slip on a banana peel

Sore wa subete ano kata no tame

It is all for his sake anyway

Shiite iu nara sore wa kitto

If anything, that is probably

Ai to iu na no chuuseishin

A kind of loyalty called love

General, where in the world
are we headed?

Who cares?!
We have no purpose!

But!

Then, what are we flying around for?!

It's just for the dramatic
presentation of a B movie.

I see.

This world is corrupt!

Are you listening, Hyatt?

Yes.

The Earth is swamped with wars,

which give rise to starvation,
poverty, and death,

and the people...

The people cannot even find
regret within their hearts.

Are you really listening?

But of course.

They only concentrate on improving
their invincible military power.

A lasting peace is a dream
beyond a dream!

They spend their capital on their hatred
without a backwards glance

and they have completely given up
trying to understand each other.

Could they possibly have the right
to call themselves victims?!

No, they do not!

There is only one thing that could
bring true control and stability

to this world, and that is our ACROSS...

Hyatt...

It seems that you are unable
to hear what I am saying.

Not at all.

I am listening, Lord Ilpalazzo.
Please continue.

Well, that is a different issue.

About today's mission...

This is?

Excel has gone missing.
Find her for me.

Miss Excel?

She looks like that.

She was fasting for four days
and counting, due to lack of capital.

This is a photo of her trying to hide
her hunger with a weird look.

Keeping in mind that she might
look more normal at present,

please search for her!

Hail, Ilpala...

No good.

It seems like she will be
more reliable than Excel.

Everyone, how have you been doing?

I am in a pretty terrible predicament.

Could it be that, in the end,

humans cannot reach
an understanding with one another?

I trespassed just a little bit

and they've imprisoned me
and interrogated me.

I have not been given the right
to be silent or call an attorney.

It has been a 24-hour endurance
torture fest with no explanation.

They keep mentioning
spies and secrets,

but a skirmish like this
in such a remote area

is so totally unrelated
to someone like me,

who serves Lord Ilpalazzo.

Why can't they understand that?

Oh, a little higher.

There are many others who
were caught the same as me,

and I made some friends as well, but...

Their numbers dwindle
as the days go by.

When we have accomplished
our conquest,

perhaps there is a need
for a country-wide purge.

Goddamn!

Well, that's pretty much
what's been going on,

but I can't stay here too long

and inconvenience Lord Ilpalazzo,
you know?

And so, as you can see,
I am independently carving my way home.

However...

Every so often,

I find these things that are
difficult to comment on.

So, I do wish to return
home safely soon,

before I become like this tomorrow.

I am so hungry!

It's no good.

Putting on a weird look won't hide
the roar of my digestive organs.

Come to think of it,
what could have happened to Menchi?

This is exactly what that mutt is for.

That mutt

Cute little thing, aren't you?

Hey, want this?

There's no rush, it won't run away.

Come to think of it,
what's his name?

Now that you mention it,
we hadn't decided yet.

How about Micky?

Micky?

I remember, he liked dogs too.

He used to say that
when he was discharged,

he'd open a pet store
in his home state of Alabama.

And he had to die like that!

Let's stop this!

But she's a female.

So what?

When he was discharged,
he was going to have surgery

and become a woman in both body
and soul and live happily with me!

And he had to die like that!

Oh, well, anyway, you're Micky now.

What are you men doing?!

Yes, Sir!

We were playing with Micky!

What?

Is this Micky?

Yes, it is, Sir!

How many times do I have to tell you?
He's already dead!

We have no time to waste
looking back on the past!

We always have only
this moment to live.

Yes, Sir!

I'll give you wimps
a special training exercise!

Build one doghouse within the day!

You'll get no mercy if you
don't make it on time!

Yes, Sir!

Freedom!

Freeze!

You have the right to breathe.

You have the right to blink freely.

You have the right to pick
your nose freely.

Oh?

Hey, you dog over there!
Might you be... Ow! Ow!

I'm falling!

Stay there and pray!
For good weather for tomorrow's execution!

Of course, we'll still do it even if it rains.

Oh, stop!

I believe this environment is far
too harsh for a beautiful heroine!

Besides, what about food?!

Oh, I guess there is some here.

It got away!
Today's special on the menu!

How noisy.

I never thought anyone else
would come here.

It has already been twenty years,
but you are the first.

Who is this place? Where are you?
I am Excel.

I am one who once tried to expose
their secret by infiltrating them.

Though now,
I am just a wretched iron mask.

But I came too close to the truth.

Young one, there are things in this world

that one definitely does not need
to know, though it is too late.

That's no good! I have to quickly
get back to Lord Ilpalazzo!

Ilpalazzo?

This

How dazzling.
Your youth is your passion.

Old man...

I am not an old man!
Call me Tetchan.

All right, Tetchan!
Is there any way to escape from here?

It may sound cruel,
but no, there is not!

The outer walls are slimy

and there is no sign
of people passing by.

We have absolutely no hope
of being rescued.

Oh, come on!

All that's left is to think of how
to enjoy this vast amount of time.

Well, if you put your mind to it,
it can be pretty fun.

I don't want to be in such a loveless,
dreamless, hopeless place!

Who will aid Lord Ilpalazzo?!

I've had enough! I'm leaving!

I will erase this apartment
and you guys from my life!

Oh, come on.

We only used your porn
for a potholder for a little bit.

It could even enrich the flavor.

Soy sauce flavor...

Shut up! I'm leaving!
I'm leaving right now!

Good-bye and good-bye
to you bastards!

Good-bye! Good-bye! Good-bye!
Good-bye! Good-bye! Good-bye!

This is...

Undisguised desire!

Shut up!

What's with that beauty?

Is there anything
I can help you with?

And you are?

Well, I'm a run-of-the-mill
Watanabe just passing by.

I...

Yes?

An apartment nearby...

Maybe it'd be better
if you didn't talk?

I'll walk you there. Come on.

Thank you so much.

I am going to be living in

room 204 of a nearby
apartment building.

A nearby apartment building?!
Room 204?! That's next door!

Nice to meet meet you.
I live next door...

I'm Nabeshin.

Not you! Hey!

Hey, Micky! It's done!

So, you like it then.

Hey, we helped too.
Don't monopolize Micky.

That's right. Take a look at my art!

Hey, Micky's female, remember?

Oh, what a big mistake I've made!

Oh, I hate this! I don't want
to waste the rest of my life

on a game coming up with names
of foods that I can't eat!

Well, that's life, those are life,
this is life, they're all life.

Oh, no!

That's right! I should live more
like a pretty girl and go...

Lord Ilpalazzo!

What is it, Excel?

I love you a hell of a lot.

I don't want to be doing monologue
four-frame comics either!

Who's there?!

You haven't changed a bit, Tetchan!

That voice!

That's right!

Nabeshin has just arrived!

Nabeshin!

Tetchan!

Oh?

How did you find this place?

I asked an army guy
who got discharged.

What about the heroine's position?

You haven't changed.
You're just like you were in the old days.
What about the heroine's position?

What about the heroine's position?

So are you.

Hello? Isn't this kinda cheap?

Now, let's get outta here!

Hey...

I wish you well!

Wait a minute!

Are you just going
to leave me here and go?!

I don't think it's too much to ask
to be saved at the same time!

But you look heavy.

Pissed!

I'm not that heavy!

I'll hold it against you!
I'll hate you! I'll die on you!

I'll die, become a ghost, and play
that game by your bed every night!

Furthermore, I'll...

And I'll only say stuff like that!
On top of that, you...

Emergency Exit

Let's go.

Thanks a bunch.

Escapees!

File Footage

File Footage

Get them!

Nabeshin!

Yeah, this is bad.

Let's split up from here.

Take this with you.

That's some dandruff, man.

I wish you luck!

Hey, hey, they're even skipping
along too, you know...

There she is!

This way!

What's so funny?

I never thought I'd be
in a fix like this with you again.

It brings back old memories.

We can reminisce together later.

How's Space Butler doing?

Oh, he's still the idiot
that he's always been.

What's wrong?

A snake!

An anaconda?!

How careless!

Who would have thought
there'd be an anaconda here?!

Hang in there!

Are you all right?

Oh, no, the poison is starting
to work its way through.

Well, I'd be more worried
about the lower half of you.

Well, we'll ignore that for now.

I'm a goner!

You idiot, what are you...

It's okay. Just leave me here.

I could never do that.

Nabeshin, my mask...

Well? Have I aged?

Not at all. You're just like you were
in the old days, Tetsuko.

Nabeshin, one more time?
Like we always used to?

That's as far as the love scene goes.

So it was you after all, Nabeshin.

Haven't seen you since
the war in Bokoda.

You bastard!

Fire!

Tetsuko!

Nabeshin...

Tetsuko...

Tetsuko!

We can't allow anyone
to escape from here, you see.

You bastards!

I'm lost and I'm hungry...

Menchi!

Don't move!

Oh, my!

Splendid, Nabeshin!

Truly a Ninja Commando from Hell!

Run! Run! Run!

This is it!

I have won!

How dare you!

Micky...

Menchi, it's okay, I'm not mad.

You just wanted to come
along too, right?

Menchi, nothing good is born of war.

It is just foolish destruction.

In the end, a society like this

needs a ruler like Lord Ilpalazzo!

Sandora!

Welcome home!

I'm home...

Oh, you.

Dear!

Why?!

Papa's home, so let's have dinner.

Yeah!

Papa?

Oh, Dear, he's become
so completely attached to you.

Well, he's not the only one, right?

Oh, Dear!

Gomez

They have me... But my son
and my sexy wife are with Gomez...

No!

Well, now that I have had
some sleep and come back to life,

I suppose I shall return to my duties.

Oh, peace is so wonderful!

But with only one photograph,
I have no place to start searching.

Later, I'll apologize to Lord Ilpalazzo

about my unexcused absence.

Oh, but I guess dinner
comes before that.

If only I had a few more clues.

Dinner, dinner.

Oh, my.

What's this?! What's this?!

We just met and she's dead already!

Kizuiteta ano hi kara

I knew, ever since that day

Anata ga chikazuite kitawake

The reason you had approached me

Hagotae no yawarakai

Tender and soft

Kono mi ga anata no okonomi to

That my body is to your taste

Ue ni taeteru hitomi ni

To your hunger-stricken eyes

Kono mi wa dou utsuru

How does my body seem

Shokusu nara hitoomoi ni

If you are to eat me,
do it in one blow

Oniku ga kataku naranu you ni

So that the meat does not get hard

Love: A sweet and painful agony
that everyone goes through.

Like and dislike, beating and throbbing,

and somehow vaguely sweet
and sour memorial of youth.

You there, without any
childhood friends, maids,

or step-kid sisters and
with completely matured armpits.

Please recall that day after school,

when you snuck into the classroom

and licked all over the bamboo
flute of the girl you liked.

And the folkdance where you
had to line up with the girls

because there weren't enough people

and you ended up having
to dance with all guys.

The words of "I love you" that you
wrote on the tapeworm test sheet

and gave to the girl who was
a member of the health committee.

Maybe it's a youthfulness that's
like to and heart and boys and be.

Next time is lovey-dovey puny love.
The common name is "Love Puny".
