E-mail: onizuka@mrit.mei.co.jp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avant Title, The voice of a little girl reading her composition, My Daddy Noriko Takaya No.2 4th class 3d year. I think my daddy is a great man. Daddy's job is to guard the earth in outer space. "Daddy's ship is the fastest in the universe." Daddy is proud of his ship. Daddy is the captain of the space battle ship "Luxion." Like my daddy, I want to be a space pilot , and go to space together with my daddy. Newspaper says, "First man-made super-light-speed space ship Luxion" Launched 11:00 am yesterday, announced by Chairman Lipton. Admiral Yuzo Takaya appointed to Captain. Reading a diary, Dec. 20th 2015 A.D., Cloudy, and Rain. My father died. Precisely speaking, he died 19th of Dec. News paper says, "The Space Force's first super-light-speed fleet crushingly defeat" Luxion Sunk? The fleet missing in Cygnus Constellation area, 250 light year away. Cause of defeat being investigated. Next news paper says, "536 Casualties, 47 petty officers survive" Defeat due to the admiral's mistake? Encountered Extraterrestrial Creatures? Reading a diary, My father's space ship was attacked by cosmic monsters in deep space. Although I know he died, I don't actually feel his death. I feel like my father is still alive somewhere in outer space.

I will be a space pilot! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Opening Song... "Active heart" sung by Noriko Sakai. Following you, I run up the slope. Burning Sun that I pass by. Big jumping, I catch you up. And I feel your body temperature. * Running in the wind is so agreeable. With big hope, and big ambition. High High High High * I wanna be held easily. The distance between us is going to zero. I love you! "Top wo Nerae(Aim for the TOP) GunBuster" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Episode ONE: "Wow! Senior Sister and I, space pilots!" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kimiko tries to surprise Noriko, Noriko: Oh, Kimiko, its you. Kimiko: What are you staring at with that blank look? Ahh, Senior Sister. Noriko: Yeah, that I adore, I wanna be as she is! hmmmm... could be possible? Since I am not as talented... Kimiko: What are you talking about? This is our first month as beginners, we are making progress now! Noriko: How is the Virgo this week? Kimiko: 6th is supposed to be lucky. A happy meeting expected. Noriko: I see. Kimiko: Why are you so melancholy? The next class is machine practice, every student will be there. A new coach is expected to come. Let's change clothes and prepare for practice! Noriko: Alright! ------------------------------------------------------------------ In the school ground, Kimiko: 188,189........ 200!(counting noriko's rope-skipping ) Noriko: Ahh,, Kimiko: You are in perfect control of your body, and yet you struggle to control machines. Noriko: I don't like mechanical things. And I can't do two things simultaneously.. Watching the display and moving hands and legs.. I pass that. Robots: Oh you are too smooth! You're training yourself by rope-skipping, (instead of on the machine). Kimiko: ignore them! Noriko: I've learned much. Robots: You are something different from us, for your father is an admiral! we envy you a lot! You intend to take advantage of connection to get yourself selected, don't you again? Noriko: How dare you say such a thing! I will succeed on my own merit! Robots: Is that so, eh? NewRobot: Stop that! Robots: Senior Sister! NewRobot: if you have the wish to be astronauts, shame on you! Robots: Let us leave! The sister reads the name on Noriko's shirt. Sister: You are Miss Noriko Takaya? Noriko: Yes! Sister: That means, the admiral Takaya's daughter, aren't you? How sad it should have been. Has it been hard for you? Noriko: Well, I've already learned to live. Sister: To control the machine, pay attention to the six balancers and the feedback from your arms and legs. Then you will have no problem. Noriko: That's too much for me! How can you operate the display monitor? Sister: Well, I watch, contemplate, and realize that it moves automatically in response to my body movements. Noriko: Wow! that's due to your talent. Sister: No it isn't, Miss Takaya. In order to do so, I've made my effort. Noriko: Effort... then you have the talent to make an efforts? Sister: When I drove a machine for the first time, I also fell. So, starting the next day, I worked hard at not falling. It's up to your effort. You can do it! Noriko: Eh? oh, really? Sister: ..... Oh your hair is disturbing you. ... I give you this. Noriko: Oh, what! Sister: Please do your best, Miss Takaya. Noriko: Yes! # Noriko is so happy that she does not respond to Kimiko. Kimiko: Oh, no reaction. Noriko: Kimiko, How about the Virgo this week? Kimiko: 6th supposed lucky, A happy meeting expected. Noriko: Absolutely true! Today is the best day ever in my life! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the ground, robots are making lines. Announce: line up! .... Ok Teacher : It's been six years since the tragedy of Luxion. Five years since we started the world wide project The operation RX in order to attack the cosmic monsters. StudentA: Through the World Wide Project RX, two boy students have already been appointed. StudentB: In this girls' school, Senior Sister is certain to be appointed. Kimiko : so the question is, who will the other student be. StudentC: Since all the students are candidates, we also have a chance. Noriko : if I were to go into space with Senior Sister, I would die. Kimiko : Don't be silly, it's impossible. StudentB: The third year student Kashiwara has the best chance of being appointed. StudentA: I hear that the new coach is a commander. He came here for the plan! Kimiko : Be quiet! Coach is coming! Coach : I am the coach who will instruct you on the machine control. I am Oota. Those who cannot learn will be dismissed! Students: (Gasp)! Coach : To begin with, I switch off the automatic balancer. Students: (Gasp)! Coach : I don't permit to use that from now on. Students: (Gasp)! Coach : In real battle conditions, manual operation is important. Those who are unable to perform with only manual control, must receive the classroom lecture again. Coach : Run around the ground 50 times! Run! Coach : Say fight! Students: fight!fight!fight!fight! Noriko : oh, how, how to run? ehh. Is this the operation to run? ah ah ah ... Coach : The first year student over there, YOU! Get off the machine. Run on your own feet around the ground 50 times! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Announce: It's time to go home. Those students remaining in the school must go home immediately. The poster says, Keep locker room clean! --- that of boy's school is cleaner --- Kimiko : Noriko,, Noriko,, go home now. Don't fall asleep here. Noriko : No, I can't move!... Kimiko : That's because you dared run 50 times. Here you go, change clothes and go home! --------------------------------------------------------------------- In Noriko's room, The title of books.. "Wasniack tells about Mac" "Mis. Rose Weeder, God bless you!" by K.Buchgad "Mathematics and Space" "The third municipal junior high school of Osaka city. 2020" "Physics I" "Mathematics I" "Chemistry I" "Modern Japanese Language" "Knowledge Navigation" "The dictionary of Degenerated Substances" "Fundamentals of Machine weapons" "The spring of Molfore" Noriko takes the telephone. Noriko : Yes,.. well,,, hmm, Really? I made it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- In front of the bulletin board. The poster says, "Announcement" The two students below are appointed to ensigns for the machine weapon project. They are to belong to the space battle ship Exelion of the seventh fleet. They are to move to Silver Star after the first quarter. Girl's school 3d year Kazumi Amano Girl's school 1st year Noriko Takaya ---- Close up ----- .. appointed to ensigns... ---- Close up ----- Kazumi Amano Noriko Takaya ------ Close up ----- Takaya ------ Close up ----- Noriko Student's voice : Unbelievable! Kimiko : Look here. Noriko : Oh that's true. Students: Look who got appointed. I hear that her father was the admiral of the defeated fleet. Students: Then she took advantage of the connexion? Students: Of course. she is very silly. Students: The coach always treated her differently. How did she have the contact with the coach. The Daughter of Defeat wants to be with the Senior so badly, that she pulled every string! # Students suspect that Noriko provided herself to the coach. The Senior sister will be very upset by the Daughter of Defeat. # Since her father's fleet suffered crushing defeat (zenmetsu), she is called # daughter of Defeat (zenmetsu musume = daughter of defeat) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In front of the door, Kimiko : Here you go,, Noriko : hmm, (exercising) I can't figure out what you are thinking. Sister : I can't figure out what you are thinking. That girl is the first-month beginner of machine control. I recommend the third year student Miss Kasiwara. She is only daughter of Admiral Takaya,,,so,, Coach : I am a surviver from the Admiral's ship Luxion. Sister : Eh? Then, that's the reason why you decided to appoint her... Coach : Damn it! The plan is more important than that you think. The destiny of humanity is up to the plan. Sister : Then why? Coach : I am responsible. She may have that potential to do that. Sister : Do what? Coach : That's Buster Machine! You will know when you go to outer space. Noriko : (Thinking) That coach is a surviver from my father's ship... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- commercial film ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kimiko : And then, what do you do? Noriko : I'm now hated by Senior Sister. The poster says, "You shall die! The daughter of Defeat! Silly girl, go back to Osaka" Noriko : Now all students hate me because I took advantage of the connexion. Oh, my god! It's terrible! Kimiko : The horoscope says about the Virgo this week that Pay attention to misunderstandings and ... troubles. Kimiko : Since you are appointed, you'd better exercise machine control in order at least to move. Noriko : You're right. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kimiko : cheer up! Noriko : .... Noriko : Ouch! Kimiko : What's the matter? Noriko : I can't, I can't do that.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Coach is walking, Noriko : Coach! please stop persecuting me! Coach : Is it that I appointed you...? Why do you think I am persecuting you. Noriko : Because, I am not talented, no future (as a space pilot) Impossible. Everyone says the appointment is due to my father's connexion. And, I am to be the partner of Senior Amano! That's too tough. Terrible! Atrocious! Coach : That's it? Noriko : (crying) Coach : You say Amano has the talent that you don't have. Follow me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Coach : Look at that!! That's the appearance of what you don't have. Noriko : (Surprising and thinking) The senior sister uses iron shoes! Coach : She has indeed the talent. But the talent itself is formed by her effort. Voice : Yes, in order to perform, I make an effort. Coach : Indeed, you don't have the talent, because you don't make an effort. But you have the natural potential. So did I select you. Listen to me, Takaya,, You must make an effort, make your potential come out. Don't ask help. Perceive by your own body! Think by your own brain! Decide by your own heart! In the space, no one helps you. Noriko : Coach... Coach : And go out to the space with Amano! There is something you must do in space! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Training scene. Students: I thought she would give up soon, But still not! Well she does well! For the basic operations, she's made progress. That's absolutely reasonable, for coach is always with her for training. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the shed, Kasiwara: Coach, what part of Miss Noriko surpasses me? Please answer, Coach! Coach : No need to answer. Kasiwara: Coach! Amano : You should stop, Don't say such a shameful thing, Miss Kasiwara. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the shower room, The poster says, "Keep shower room clean!" Kasiwara: Congratulation! for your being pointed to an ensign. Miss Takaya. You are going to depart tomorrow. Before the departure, please come with me after the class. Noriko : eh, yes. Kasiwara: Please be on your machine to come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the ground, Kasiwara: Though I've ever expected you would give up before the departure, But you are still training. If you don't give up, I force you to give up! Here I go, Daughter of Defeat! Noriko : 9.5, 8.7 .... (measuring the distance) ah! Oh no!! Kasiwara: Running is the only thing you can do. It's too hard for you to battle! Kasiwara: Show .... your....... skill ..... to ..... all ... here ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kimiko : Noriko, Noriko, are you alright? Coach stop them! that's enough. no longer possible. Too tough for Noriko,, Kasiwara: No! don't say that. The actual battle is tougher than this! Coach : Yes it is! Kasiwara: Even though all others admit it, I don't admit! Noriko :(Thinking) Coach, Coach, what shall I do. Coach! Voice : Don't ask help. Perceive by your own body, Decide by your own heart,,, Noriko : I've got it! The attention to the monitor is disturbing me. I try! Kimiko : Monitor off? Sister : What does she do! Kasiwara: You, You, You are kidding me! Now it's the final stage! Triangle Spark! Noriko : It's right now! Jump! Kasiwara: Juh! Jump!? Sister : Is that ...!? Noriko : Thunder....bolt... kick! Kasiwara: You win! Sister : Unbelievable! that one-month beginner has done that thunderbolt kick? -------------------------- View from the sky. Coach : Amano and Takaya,, you two shall be the member of the fist attacking corps "TOP" At the airport. But, the more difficulty will you have from now on. To be the true member of TOP, To be the true warrior that can guard people, To be the true fighter that can help others, Do your best, Make efforts, Overcome the difficulty, And fight! -------------------------- the view from the airplane window, Noriko : Oh, what beautiful is Mt. Fuji! Ok, "Aim for the TOP" yes! To be continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending song "Try again" sung by Noriko Sakai. You said "You are something like my younger sister" as the answer. My declaration of love was broken in the wind of that Sunday. Since I lost love under the brightness of the sun, the tears did not come out. I was only motionlessly standing, and say good by to you. Oh, that's shameful. Since that day, it was dark days. despite that, Encore! the power to love! To my heart, Encore! frank fighting spirit. Though I lost love, I still love him. I do my best! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Science Lecture of "Aim for the TOP" Section 1. "The theory of Ether Space" Noriko : Hi! I am Takaya. Sister : I am Amano. This is a special lecture after the episode. Together with Miss Takaya who has not yet completed the classroom study, please you all receive this lecture. This time, as the first section, I am going to discuss on outer space where we are going to. Miss Takaya, what do you know about space? Noriko : Vacuum and Absolute zero degree! Do you expect me to say that? I studied. Outer space is not vacuum, but the ether field, Nor the temperature is not absolute zero degree, but three degree due to the black body radiation. Sister : Do you understand the things you are saying. Noriko : of course,, I mean, no,, Sister : Ok, then we start from the beginning. Sister : After Dr. Tanhoizer published the ether space theory toward the end of 20th century, physics changed completely. The background screen says, R. Tanhoizer: from 1960 to 2018. The Ether theory: "The ether electro-magnetics for the substances in motion" Noriko : Dr. Tanhoizer was a talented scientist who won Nobel prize every year for five times. It is said that,, The ancient physics of Newton, The classic physics of Einstein, And the modern physics of Tanhoizer. Sister : That's true. Ok, And the phenomenon he predicted is the Tanhoizer's gate that is the base of the Warp Theory. Noriko : Ah, that's star-bow isn't it? Sister : Star-bow is the phenomenon in the sub-light speed. Tanhoizer's gate is the only way to do the super-light speed navigation. Can you explain that? Noriko : Two black holes revolving together make a hole inside, from which we can see a star-bow? Sister : 50% of your answer is right. Alright? The two black holes that share the Schwaltzschult radius, make an exposed allergy point by controlling the revolution speed, and then the ergo-region is also exposed to outside. That's Tanhoizer's gate. Noriko : ah, well, ok, I mean I study more. Sister : Ok, the next question is, Explain the Ice Second, the fuel that enabled the machine weapons, and space navigation. Noriko : Oh I know that. That's the crystal of ice's isotope with the degenerated gravity in the room temperature. Because most part of stational mass is in the dimension of motional mass, red shift of light is intense so that the substance emit red light in the dark. It's called "The woman's red diamond shining in outer space" Coach : That's right! you Takaya! Noriko and Sister: Ah! Coach! Coach : It is not shameful to be ignorant of things! The point is, strong will and strong effort! Noriko : Yes! I'd like to be the lady whom Ice Second becomes. Sister : Then, see you next! Noriko : Bye Bye! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avant Title. 2015 A.D. In Perseus Bay in the Galaxy (12000 parsecs from the earth) Announce: Enemy's fourth attack in 20 seconds, Full speed escape! Hurry! escape! Announce: Evacuation for all. This ship be evacuated! Repeat. Evacuation for all! A man : One more, one more can go! Takaya : One more can go ? A man : Yes! Takaya : Then, take this guy! Oota : No, You Admiral must go ! Takaya : Damn it, you must go! Oota : but... Takaya : Damn it! you are young, you must survive. You have something to do in future! In the bridge, Noriko's photo: Daddy! please come home by my 8th birthday! Daddy! please come home by my 8th birthday! Daddy! please come home by my 8th birthday! Daddy! please come home by my 8th birthday! Daddy! please come home by my 8th birthday! Takaya : Noriko ... I am sorry. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Opening song -------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode TWO: "Daring! A genius Challenger!!" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Announce: We will soon arrive at Silver-Star. Please refrain from smoking for a while. The stewardess is Natuko Ohara, and Captain is Fujio Murakami. Noriko : Ah, Senior Sister! Sister : Good morning! Coach : That's the brand new battle ship "Exelion" Noriko : Smaller than expected.. Coach : Look again! Noriko : oh... Coach : Listen... In vacuum space, it's difficult to measure the size and distance. Pay much attention. Noriko : Yes. Noriko : What? Sister : That's from the Soviet Union. # Hmmm, "Aim for the TOP" was produced before the Soviet Union collapsed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the admiral's room, Tasiro : Welcome to Silver-Star! I am Tatumi Tasiro, who will be the captain of Exelion. This is Jung Freud from the moon base, a genius space fighter. You must know her. Sister : Yes. I know. Tasiro : These are, Kazumi Amano, and Noriko Takaya,, The best pair from Japan. Be good friends! Sister : How do you do. Jung : Is it for the first time in outer space? Sister : No, three times as private excursions so far. Jung : then, you have no problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the hall, Tasiro : Can you all hear me? The space ship Exelion where you are to live as your home, is under the full-speed construction. By the end of February, we will launch it also with equipment. Immediately after that, we depart to attack the cosmic monsters. In the attack, you all shall be the members of TOP. No win, No future for humanity. For the seven months until the departure, do sufficient training. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The exercise in outer space, Coach : To begin with, it is important to learn how to move in space, You all go to the moon, pass it by, and then return here. Don't forget the combination in the pair. In the vicinity of the moon, you receive the strong acceleration. Do control carefully. Start from the first one,,, Sister : Noriko, here we go! Noriko : Yes! Noriko : Distance 270. Is it ok? Sister : Yes. Noriko : Distance fixed. Sister : ah... what? Jung : Marker off, you two! Sister : what would you do. Jung : I'd like to challenge you to a duel! Noriko : Senior Sister! Jung : Linda is taking two dummy markers to the moon. Those for you and your partner. Sister : Everything is alright isn't it! Jung : Would you like one to two battle? You've not learned to space. Sister : No problem! Noriko : Senior Sister! Jung : Here I go... Jacobini meteoric attack! Jung : hmm, you are good fighter, The queen of rose! Sister : Take care! Rose has thorns! Noriko : Senior Sister, where are you? In the ship under construction. Jung : Mujuusinten-Sekiunryu (Cumulic way without center of gravity) # it may be a name of an art of Japanese swordsmanship. Hatimen Teppeki (Eight directions with iron wall) # defense against eight directions. Naname Seigan (Slanting front) # slanted form for defense. hmm, great! perfect defense! But I break the perfectness! Sister : I win? Jung : I wonder. Sister : Thunder....bolt...quick...turn.. Kick! Sister : You do well, you, genius fighter! Jung : Indeed. my skill proves my nickname. Noriko : Senior Sister! ..... Noriko : Senior Sister! In a shed,... Jung : What are you doing? You give up ? Sister : Wait! what's that? Jung : ah! Noriko : Where is she? .... ah.. Jung : It's a dead body of enemy. Sister : Never expected one here. Noriko : My daddy was... Sister : ah? Noriko : My daddy was killed by this ? Killed by this kinda creature? Daddy!!! Sister : Noriko... Noriko : Daddy.. In the memory.. Noriko : Welcome home daddy! ... you remember my birthday! Father : Yes, today is your 6th birthday. Your daddy came home at the light speed. Three : ah ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial film --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster .... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the gym, Coach : The escape during the training. Illegal invasion to a Force installation. Observation of unpublicated enemy's sample. Any of these must send you to the prison. But I cannot train you two in the prison. The report stopped at the captain. That's a probation. you know. One more and send you to the prison. Understand? Two : Yes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the bath, Noriko : When I was small, my daddy used to always be in space, and he never came home, except ... once a year, at my birthday, he never missed to come home, and then he said to me "Happy birthday Noriko", though he returned to work soon. But, I relieved! If you were to be in prison, the force would suffer a big damage. Oh, that's the reason why I was also forgiven. Jung : Oh, I am sorry very much. Due to me, you two were scolded by Coach. I am always afraid of people, and that caused such a matter. But, I realized how great you are, Miss Amano! Though I've heard you are a great fighter, you are greater than expected. Jung : It is agreeable in the moon, for my breast becomes lighter. Here, it's not. The tight brassiere causes shoulder stiffness. And also, the gravity is going to spoil my breast. Don't you think so? Jung : To show my apology, I'd like to invite you to my birthday party without charge. The 12th of the month after the next. Noriko : That's the same as mine! Jung : Is that so? Then let's have a party together! Big party ! Jung : By the way, That coach is a nice guy! His high tension attracts me. ... When is his birthday. Sister : That was the day before yesterday. Jung : oh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scene of Space Station, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the computer room, Tasiro : Oota, what do you think ? Oota : Indeed, we need to investigate that. Tasiro : The object is flying from Perseus Bay to the solar system, at 99.8 % of the light speed. Though that is actually to pass by the orbit of Neptune, considering the mass, it is too fast. Investigate that object. Oota : (To a technician) Show us the image of the object. Tech. : Due to the strong Lorenz-Doppler shift, it's impossible to get the clear image. Oota : Then, we have to watch it with the naked eye. Tasiro : Retrieve some light-speed battle ship in the vicinity of Neptune. Announce: No battle ship, but a training ship is there for marathon. Its two exterior boosters can accelerate two machine weapons to the sub-light-speed. Oota : Amano and Takaya should go. Tasiro : Amano is ok, but the other should be Jung. Oota : Well, Amano and Takaya are the candidates for GunBuster pilots. They should experience the light speed this time. Tasiro : I see. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the vicinity of Neptune, Oota(Coach): I will indicate the timing for the acceleration. You two only have to stand the acceleration, tightly holding the booster. I will depart here to catch you up by the sub-light- speed docker ship. I will catch you up one minutes later by your clock. The object is moving at nearly the light speed. Don't be driven by the ether flow. It's a 10 minutes operation as a whole. 1 minute in sub-light speed results three months on the earth. Small mistake causes the Urasima-effect. Announce : Mobydick one, Mobydick two, prepare for separation. Jung : Noriko, If you can come back on time, it will be the day before our birthday party. I am looking forward to that. Noriko : Yes, I won't make you get older alone. Sister : Please don't get much older! Jung : It's up to you two. Announce : Count-down started. In the machine weapon, Noriko : never expected this strong ether flow! Sister : Second acceleration! ------------ In the vicinity of the earth, Announce : 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 .. ------------ Vicinity of the object, Sister : Object catch up. Flying in front as scheduled. Coach : Also catch you up. Sister : 20 seconds before encounter. Object recognized by the naked eye. Coach : Can you identify the object? Noriko : (Thinking) space ship? Sister : Construction? wait, .. The ship name appeared. Coach! that's a ship of the earth! L-u-x-i-o-n ? Coach : NO! Don't let Takaya go! Sister : Noriko! Sister : Coach, Noriko's going to Luxion! Noriko : Air inside. It's been only two days in this ship since that battle! Daddy! Coach : I dock you. You wait, prepare deceleration. I look for Takaya. If no return within three minutes, leave us and decelerate. alright? In the ship, Noriko : Daddy! Daddy ... Coach : going to the bridge. Noriko : That's Main bridge! uggg.... Daddy! Coach : Takaya, Noriko : No!! Coach : Takaya, get out! Sister : Coach.. Coach : we break the wall! Noriko : yes.... Coach : Prepare for docking. Sister : No time... Coach! Coach : Hurry! Dock us! Deceleration! Coach : Amano,.... Sister : Yes, Coach : How long delay? Sister : twelve seconds. Coach : I see. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In the hall, "Congratulation for Launching of Exelion" Tasiro : Welcome to Exelion! Jung : Welcome home! You made me wait so long! We are to depart next week! Jung : It's hard for you.. about your father.. Cheer up! Noriko : (Crying) Sister : Although it's six month since that for you all, We were there until one hour before. Would you please leave her alone for a while? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Noriko : Daddy, although my birthday was over six month ago, let's have a party with you ..... Because you came back home, as you had promised. In the memory,.. Noriko : I will go to outer space when I am grownup. Then I can always be with daddy. To Be Continued -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Science Lecture of "Aim for the TOP" Section 2: Star-bow and Urasima Effect Sister: The lecture today is on the phenomena at the light speed. Noriko: That's about WARP isn't it? Sister: No. The Lecture on the super light speed, C+ navigation, WARP, is scheduled in the next time. In the sub-light speed navigation, many wondrous phenomena take place. Do you know them? Miss Takaya? Noriko: Those are, the star-bow and the Urasima effect. Sister: Yes. We call the big rainbow in the space "star-bow." Noriko: Due to the Lorenz effect, the stars get together in the front of space ship, and those look like forming a rainbow-colored ring by the Doppler effect. I prepared figures and formulae for it. Sister: You've done it! You worked a lot! Noriko: That's because of "effort and will" that coach often says. Coach : Not enough! Takaya. Two : Coach... Sister: When did you come? Coach : Not enough. Explain the Urasima Effect. Noriko: Yes. In the todays episode, though it had been seven years since daddy's ship was wrecked, did pass only two days in the ship. And due to my twenty minutes delay in the operation, Six months have passed on the earth. Those are done by wicked Einstein! Coach: Takaya, It's not only Einstein, but also Lorenz, Fitzgerald, and Gamov are wicked. Noriko: Yes. I understand. Coach : Remember this formula, which is of Lorenz Transformation. Sister: Luxion's main engine, the degeneration reactor, was alive, but the vanishing motor was damaged, thus the infinite acceleration. Coach : Yes, it is. Listen, in space, a small accident results mortal one. To overcome it, you need your Effort and Will! Two : Yes! Coach : your reaction is very good. Sister: Then, see you next time! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Trailer for the third episode, Noriko's voice: Space is my sea! Ten thousand parsecs far away from the earth, the girls played courage testing game as is usual. But, I was found by Coach, and much scolded. The punishment was cleaning the laser cannon lenses, hmmm backache! I met a nice guy there. Beneath a gas-nebula, I had happy time with him! Then the sudden attack by enemy! The first actual fighting, with Californium atomic bomb! Oh my god, please forgive me! The next episode "The first love, and the first fighting." Against it, Thunderbolt Kick! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avant title "For the good children, the brief story of the previous episodes" Announce: Now the party of Exelion's launching is full of excitement. Ok, The queen of Rose, Miss Amano is going to sing a song. She appointed Coach Oota to sing together. The song is "The love game between a Man and a Woman" # This song is very famous in Japan for singing by duo. Oota : oh I am brashed! People : Ah lovely couple! Sister : Would you be quiet! (song)... I am too drunk because of you.. Text says, # This text is a parody of some famous paper on high energy physics. # The original text in Japanese does not make clear sense. Considering the similarity between the functional of quantum mechanical operation and the distribution function of statistic physics, the quantum mechanical operation is roughly represented as below. Z = integral exp(1/h) D|\phi|. If we regard this as the total concept of the situation, it is just that the result of GAZE theory which WALL and YANN proposed, and the WINEBERG-SALAMM theory that describe the strong interaction, and the quantum chromo-dynamics are regular under the internal canonical modeling. For the well known clear example, the phase transition region in the vicinity of 10^13 GeV does not change the hierarchical structure that implies the kinetic variable \phi, but is a classical integration of operation. (song) That's because you pretty woman.... However, toward the end of 20th Century, these unsolved problems of elementary particle theories, the super string theories, the strange things of unitary transformation about the super-symmetric HILVEL space, and the local space canonical representations are converged into one. (song) Hold me tight. hold me tight. In 1995, according to Tanhoizer's first paper "The ether electrodynamics of objects in motion," Ether corresponds to the particle of HIGGS field in W/S theory, and the vacuum space is defined as the ground state of the field. In general, particles of Zero or ordinary number spin follow the BOZE-AINSTEI statistics, and others follow the FERMI/DIRAC statistics. The Planck constant, and gravity constant are determined when high dimensional space automatically decays into N dimensional phase division. (song) That's the love game between a man and a woman. The scattering amplitude that describes the scattering process turns out to be an analytical function in the complex plane when we require the causation of complex intensification, which by applying the CORSEY's integration theorem, turns out to be the TANHOIZER Division function. From Kazumi Amano's paper submitted to The Conference of All Japan high-school physics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opening song by Noriko Sakai. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode Three: "The first love, and the first fighting." Noriko says, Kimiko, Kimiko, how are you? Your friend Noriko is now in the milky way. I can no longer see the sun, because the sun is in the milky way. So I send you message via telepathy. Can you believe that the space ship pitches and rolls like this... Because the speed is more than billions of kirometres per hour, the space ship is like flying in the wind although it is in the vacuum space. There are calm places and stormy places in the space, Just like the sea. Kikuchi: Located 0.5 parsec space for acceleration. WARP possible. Captain: Fleet all WARP. ViceCap: All warp! Noriko says, We can do warp only at very calm places in the space. When the ship breaks into the subspace, it is wonderful to see. The ether becomes plasma and is very beautiful! But, I've ever seen it only once. It is because, all people in the ship have to stay in the quarters. When we are in the subspace, there is always someone who begins to talk about ghosts and fantoms. Jung: The subspace is connected to the world of death. So the ghosts of death wander around in the ship shed and paths. And sometimes, they knock the door of quarters. Noriko:No, No Stop! Noriko says, I don't hate stories like this, but I am not strong enough to hear that. And then people begin to play the courage testing game. Noriko: Oh, Unbelievable! Is there anybody who .... Noriko: Oh! People: Good luck! Noriko says, I must go, because I don't want others to kid me. In the dark, A boy : Are you doing that game? A boy : My face is so awful? Wow! Noriko: Oh!no! A boy : Girls do the same thing. Let's put the marker and go back! Did I scared so much ? Pass me your ribbon. Noriko: here you go. A boy : Shame on you! You are too easy to be scared. Are you a space fighter? Oh, aaaaaa ,aaa a, Coach : The precaution of the second kind during WARP. You two are expected to come to my room in the space suits. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Around the laser cannon lens. The boy: It's never been since I was a seaman that I clean the laser cannon lens. Noriko : Oh what a big nebula! The boy: Only due to the short distance. Noriko : The sky is bright! We can see many gas nebulae. The boy: There might have been a lot of old stars. Noriko : Look! That's like a flower! The boy: A dead body of stars. Noriko : Don't you have emotion? The boy: hmmm backache in my back! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the bridge, Announce: Announce to all, course, speed no change. ViceCap : We can go over the star Lief 64 today. Captain : Lief 64,, hmm that reminds me of young days. It was when I was a mate. Lief 64 is very similar to the sun, beautiful! Just like an oasis in the space! Young stars like the sun are not many. ViceCap: The stars like the sun does not have strong gravity interference to ships. Captain: Your galaxy would be full of the numerical stars! Announce: A couple of approaching objects from 12th direction. Relative speed nearly light speed. Around the lens, The Boy : Ok next lens! Noriko : What's that? The boy : Lie down! In the bridge, Announce: Enemies! They went us by at 20000 kirometres distance. Captain : Alright! we follow that enemies! Fleet all full-speed course turn. U-turn in Lief 64's gravity field. ViceCap : Yes sir. Prepare for gravity turn. Captain : Announce to all ships, fleet all prepare assembly. You decide the place for assembly. ViceCap : Fleet all prepare for assembly. The coordinate for assembly is Announce: Fleet all prepare for assembly. Announce: Prepare for gravity turn. Announce: Cosmo- attacker V for assemble.

Announce: Next station is "The women's locker room" Noriko : hmm, in the case of red warning at the left side, switch off the gearing system, after stabilizing the space gyro. In the case of red warning at the right side, down the slotle to 30. The Boy: hmm, you are a hard worker. Noriko : I have to learn the basic operation in space. I am a couple of months behind others. The boy: That's not useful in the actual battle. Noriko : Stop! why you behave as a senior? The boy: That's because because you are a pretty young junior girl. Noriko : You know, the pair of me and the senior sister is the best pair in TOP. I have many difficulties that those single man like you who don't have partner cannot imagine. Bye! The boy: Behavior as a senior? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the women's locker room, A girl : Do you know, Saeko made love with her fried yesterday! # Literally "Saeko reached stage C with her boy friend yesterday!" # Stage A means Kiss, Stage B ....... Stage C means making love. People : really? did they? Jung : Then she hit the bed at her head. That's amusing. Oh Look at Noriko! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the bridge, Captain: Lief 64! you say this is Lief 64? Is this ugly red giant? Announce:Considering the absolute coordinate and the constellation, no doubt. This is Lief 64 at the eighth finger of Perseus Bay in the galaxy. Captain: Lief 64 was a white young star like the sun. Unbelievable that it changed that much in ten years. It might be because... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the shed, Sister : Coach I have something to say. Coach : What's that? say. Noriko : In the case of strong moment to the left, cancel it by doing like this. hmmm, I don't understand. Oh. Senior Sister! Sister : Do you really think Noriko to go to the actual battle? It is too dangerous, considering her skill. Coach : That's what I decide. Sister : But her partner, I say that I cannot fight together with her. Coach : I make her go. I don' stop her. Sister : Alright, I see. Then I dissolve the partnership with Noriko. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial message ------------------------------------------------------------------------- GubBuster! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sister : I say, I cannot fight with Noriko! Noriko : Oh, no, Oh no,,, ah. Sister : ah! Noriko : ah, well I .. Sister : You've listened to us? Don't think I am hating you. That's for you. Coach : Takaya. I found your internal potential. And made the team of you and Amano. I expected it to be the best pair! If one of you lacks, everything is over. I believed in your internal possibility. You must believe in yourself. And train hard, to show your strong will! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the vending machine room, The boy :hmm? Vending machine says, "Italia Pizza!" The boy : What's wrong with you? Have you lost the text book? Noriko : I am sorry that time. I am now a single. I am disliked by Senior Sister. That may be the matter of fact. The skill is too different. The boy : hmmm. Then now you are a single so, how about making a partnership with me? I am looking for a partner. Poster says, Please switch off the light when useless. The council for the effective energy usage. Noriko : Are you alright with me ? The boy : Yes indeed. How do you like it? Noriko : Yes. Poster says, Put rubbish to the trash box. The council of Living block management. The boy : Ok, decided! Do you know my name? I am Smith Toren. Noriko : I am Noriko Takaya. The boy : I know it. Noriko : Why do you laugh? Smith : Then I go to register the pair. Noriko : Good luck! Noriko : Ah, it's indirect kiss. oh no. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In space, Announce: Tarsion turned. 25 minutes before contact to enemies. Announce: Enemies recognized. Distance 221 light seconds. Announce : Contact expected near fifth planet's orbit. Captain : Open all cannons. Prepare for torpedos and laser cannon attack! Announce: Open all cannons. Prepare for torpedos and laser cannon attack! staff : Direction set. staff : open launching tube for photon torpedos. Announce: Non fighters take shelter in 3d block. Announce: Hurry prepare TOP corps. Coach : After ship-plane departed, we, TOP corps is launched to the front of enemies. Operate under the decision of pairs. The distance among machines should keep 1000 metre. The half-life of the Californium A-Bomb is 3 hours. You must use it by that time. Strict to the return order. Pay much attention. This is the first battle by the machine weapons in the history. That's it! Staff : Release launching catapult! Staff : Exhaust air. Announce: TOP corps preparation completed. Second laser cannon prepared. Photon torpedos prepared. Automatic cannon chaser prepared. Object at 1.8 light second distance. 3.6 seconds required to recognize hit.

I am below you. Noriko : I can't see you, Smith! (Announce: contact expected..) Smith : be calm. No enemy arrived. I am offense and you defense. Understand? Noriko : yes. That mean I support you? Smith : Yes. (Announce: Exelion Roger!) Baaaang! Noriko : What's that? Smith : Tarsion destroyed. crushed ? no, sunk! Noriko : Oh no! Smith : Pay attention. shock wave comes.. in 5 seconds. Noriko : Eh? Baang Noriko : Smith! Smith : Be calm! It's alright! You don't die in such a small shock. Enemy! To the left, two enemies! Noriko : eh? Smith : gone to the right side! ass hole! .. New one at left above. Noriko : Eh What? Smith : The guy in the right. attack it! Noriko : Roger! Battle..... Noriko : Smith,, Smith answer me, I don't like the situation like this, Smith!!! Smith!! Announce: Captain Enemies' main corps is at Lief 64. The enemies we contacted are not the main corps. Captain : Is it the dummy? Announce: And... They are going to assembly at Lief 64. Captain : Alright. Announce to all. Return all the corps outside. After the collection, immediate Warp ! staff : Yes sir! Captain : There is a hypothesis that the monsters use stars as their nests, where they breed. ViceCap : Then that has something to do with the frequent explosion of stars around here. Captain : hm. If so, we have to escape from here. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Noriko : Smith.... Noriko : I shot no bomb. Plate says, Space force of the Earth, First class battle ship Exelion = 111st ship. No.2 men's quarters starboard section 7. Noriko : Smith... Door opens, Noriko : Coach,, Coach!! I, I was, Smith was,, I was with Smith, but, Nothing I did.. I am sorry, nothing did I. .,.. Smith... Coach : Takaya.. Noriko : Coach, I do everything I can. I train myself. Instruct me hard! Until the senior sister appreciate me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending song by Noriko Sakai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Science Lecture of "Aim for the TOP" Questions from Audiences. Sister : From a good boy who watches "TOP", we received a letter questioning "What is warp?" So, this time, I'd like to discuss on WARP. Section 3: Super-Light speed navigation. --- about WARP ---- Sister : Miss Takaya, what do you know about Warp? Noriko : Yes. A method of navigation faster than the Light Speed. Sister : You are right. And what is the true name? Noriko : Eh? eh? ah? Well? hmm ? Coach : Shame on you! Takaya! Two : Coach! Coach : You don't know such a thing! I punish you! Amano, tell her the name. Sister : Yes. Precise name is, Dimensional Wave Super String Exciting Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. Abbreviated to WARP. The display says, Dimensional Wave Super String Welcoming Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. Coach : Yes. You are right. Then Takaya, say how we can warp. Noriko : Eh? eh? ah? that is, eh... Coach : You don't know that ! I punish you! Amano, teach it to her. Sister : By enlarging the radius of Tanhoizer gate which has been frozen in the degeneration reactor, we wrap the ship by subspace. And the ship jumps the time and space. Coach : Yes. That's right! Listen to me. Amano and Takaya! Even though we are to have fully advanced Scientific Technology, there are two things you must remember. Noriko : They are Effort and Will! The display says, Effort and Will! Coach : Yes. You must show your effort and will by writing 100 times. Noriko : Oh, No! Sister : Then see you again, bye bye! (Noriko: writing) Dimensional Wave Super String Exciting Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. Dimensional Wave Super String Exciting Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. Dimensional Wave Super String Exciting Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Display says, Apology and correction In the "The science lecture" No.3, the expression in the display was, Dimensional Wave Super String Welcoming Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. But, it was wrong. The true expression is, Dimensional Wave Super String exciting Degenerated Radius Jump Gravity field Super-light speed navigation. Director Hideaki Anno. Sister : I'd like to apologize that the expression in the display had a mistake. I'd like to correct it and apologize for you all. Noriko : I am sorry very much! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trailer for the third episode, Noriko : My love that vanished in the stars. But, I cannot mourn his death. Coach, please train me harder and harder! Hard days for the hard training. Noriko! Fight! Don't let the monsters go to the solar system! But, But, Exelion is going to sink! Daddy, Smith, help me! Help Noriko! A human being must die but the GunBuster never die. Save the earth! The next episode "Go! The uncompleted Ultimate Weapon", Against it, Thunderbolt Kick! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aim for the Top! In the conference room in Exelion, A scientist: The cosmic monsters are considered to have come from the center of the galaxy. Since they encountered us, the human beings, their population has been increasing, searching for young stars, and making nests in them, and breeding. By analyzing their fighting patterns, and extracting the principal of their behaviors, matching them with their scope of influence, I figured out their purpose. That is the earth! Captain : Isn't it the sun? Their purpose is to make nests in stars for breeding, isn't it? A scientist: They are parasites of stars. Their objective is to annihilate the humanity. They are just like immune antibodies that attack the bacteria called human beings in the galaxy. Captain : I don't believe you. A Scientist: Why not? For the galaxy, there is no profit from the existence of the human beings. We, human beings, are just like dusts in the universe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the shower room. Girl A : Have you eaten Baked Andromeda? # Baked Andromeda : A kind of pancake with the shape of the nebula Andromeda. Girl B : Not yet. Girl C : Let's go to eat Baked Andromeda? Girl B : Noriko, will you go with us? Noriko : I am on duty of dust deposit, today. Girl A : She's become melancholy, these days. Girl C : No No, after she dissolved the partnership with the senior sister, She is .. Girl A : What? Girl C : She is always with the coach. Probably she is going to date with him, today. Girl A : Oh! Jung : Have you really dissolved the partnership with her? May I take ... to date? Oh, I mean Noriko.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jung and Linda: What? # Linda Yamamoto is a Swedish girl. Sweden is under the Soviet's occupation. # From her surname, she may be half Japanese. # her name "Linda Yamamoto" is from famous Javanese singer "Linda Yamamoto" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the gym, Coach : Too late. What have you been doing? Noriko : I am sorry. Coach : To begin with, the review of yesterday's lessen. Do from turn-up to break-off within 3 minutes. Noriko : Yes. Pattern A finished. Coach : Too slow. Within 3 minutes, the enemy can move from Mars to the moon. Noriko : Yes. Coach : Listen to me, Takaya. I tell you one thing. That is only you that can guard you. However, you must not sacrifice the others. If you wish to guard you and also others, make your efforts. Noriko : Yes. Coach : Ok, repeat Pattern from A to C 50 times. Noriko : Yes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the rail station, Noriko : Ah! Jung : What's the matter with you, here? Didn't you go to eat Baked Andromeda? Station plate says, Central No. 7 shed. Noriko : ehh, I, I was so slow that others left me. Jung : You are training hard! How about fighting a duel with me? Noriko : You don't have to fight a duel with me. Jung : You mean I loose? Noriko : What are you saying? Jung : Don't kid me. I know you are receiving a special training from coach for the new weapon. Noriko : That's ... Jung : The desolution of the partnership must be intended to camouflage it! Announce: Train is coming. Stand behind the white line. Jung : Show me the progress you made though the training. Noriko : Alright. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the lift, Jung : The spray gun has sham bullet for training. That does not explode but shocks you. I don't make allowance for you. Understand? Jung (Thinking): Coach Oota had chosen Noriko. Not me, but Noriko. Noriko(Thinking): I am a GunBuster pilot! I must to do. Despite of the envies from Senior Sister, Jung, and others.. I must do, also for Smith. --------------------- Noriko(recalling): Smith, where are you, Smith.. Noriko : Oh no! Jung : Noriko! Noriko : No! I don't. No! I don't go out. I don't want to go out to space. I don't want to go out to space! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the health care room. Sister : What did you want to do against Noriko? Jung : Nothing other than that I challenged her to a duel. However, there was no need to do so. Sister : You envy Noriko? Shameful isn't it? Jung : How about you? Coach chose Noriko. Not me nor you. But when she goes out to space next time, She must die. indeed, I am not sure she can go out. Sister : Well, yes. Noriko(thinking): I shall die. Next time it's I that shall die. Smith! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Japanese style room, Coach : What is your question to me? Sister : Until when do you force Miss Takaya to do that. Coach : Until.... everything is over. Sister : GunBuster was designed to fit me. It's too tough for her to control it. Coach : Don't be conceited. GunBuster is controlled by you two. If you have the time to think about her, you can do more training. Sister : It's you that is conceited. Why do you think, you can control one as your wish. It's me that you make wreak your grude. That's enough. Don't involve her. Would you let me leave? Coach : That's it? Sister : When she goes to space next time, she shan't come back. The one who cannot save oneself, cannot save the others. The spilt milk does not return into the original cup. Coach : Amano.. Sister : Yes. Coach : I have one thing to say to you. For the milk spilt from a cup, we can pour other milk to the cup. That's it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captain: This fleet is going to do the last long-distance WARP. What we are most afraid of is that our fleet is followed by enemies. That's just like we are inviting them to the solar system. We have to avoid that. Thus, from the subspace where lader does not work, we warp out directly to the solar system. It's a very rare method, though this method has very small chance to be followed by enemy. It's been hard voyage. But you all have done well. The date of the arrival at the solar system shall be the 23th July 2032. You can see Halley's commet at the right side of our ships. People : Oh! Captain: Be quiet! It's the last job to do. Pay attention. That's it! Captain: hmmm. Ok, one more job. do it well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In the right side 8th block 5-7-22, The sign says, Here is the right side 8th block 5-7-22. Noriko : We will arrive at the earth. Smith, are you also following us? After the arrival, I will go to your home-town, and.. I have to see your mother, and ... and ... Announce: 20 minutes before Warp. Switch to the emergency battery. Girls : After we arrive at the earth, which food shall I eat? Girls : No! shopping is the No.1 priority. The fashions must have changed a lot. Girls : And we buy swimming suits and go to the sea! Girls : Yes! yes... The sister is reading a book titled "The disqualification as a human being" (A very famous Japanese novel by Osamu Dazai) -------------------------------------------------------------------- In the bridge, staff : 30 seconds before WARP. Captain : How is GunBuster? Oota : Well, It takes a little to check the degeneration reactor. Captain : We want to go to the earth without using that machine. I expect GunBuster. Oota : Thank you. staff : Captain, Second acceleration starts. Captain : I understand. do it. staff : The target, solar system catch. ViceCap : Ok, connect Vanishing Motor! staff : Connect! Announce: 10 seconds before WARP. staff : Prepared for entering subspace. Captain : Start WARP! ViceCap : Start WARP! The round indicator changes from Full-speed to Enter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the bridge, Announce: Enemies' attack! Captain : Unbelievable! Newton's dynamics does not work in subspace! How did they catch us? Open all cannons. ViceCap : where to aim? Captain : Nowhere! Do fire! Announce: Emergency! Encountered Enemies in Subspace. The offensive disposition of 1st kind for all. Repeat, The offensive disposition of 1st kind for all. Captain : Are the other ships attacked? How is it? Staff : Lader does not work, all white. No way to know it until out of subspace. Nothing, nothing is in the lader... Staff : First armor broken. Staff : Plasma gas in 3d shed. Announce: Go out of subspace. Captain : No! don't warp out! That let them locate the earth! ViceCap : Impossible! Too late! Captain : Damn it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Captain : How are the other ships? Staff : The ships which came out to normal space are about 12% of fleet. Small ships suffered crushing defeat. Captain : I see. Staff : No, it's not! Our fleet is only this ship and 12 others. Other objects are enemies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster --------------------------------------------------------------------- Announce: TOP corps, full-speed departure. prepare equipment type B. All troops depart after completing preparation. After depart, guard fleet. Coach : What's the matter? Hurry up! Jung : Linda's machine weapon has something wrong at the left gyro. Coach : Ok. Linda, you use Takaya's machine weapon, Linda : Yes. Coach : Takaya, wait in ship. Takaya : Oh... yes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Announce: TOP corps and cosmo attackers departure completed. Announce: repair groups hurry emergency repair for A level damage. Captain : Kikuchi, how are the enemies? Kikuchi : 22 enemies, where the flag enemy moving at 10% of light speed. Others surrounding this ship, and moving with us. Captain : Ok, we do, Vice Captain. Captain : The target is enemy giant space creature. Prepare torpedo attack. Set photon torpedos, and open launching tubes! ViceCap : Roger. Open launching tubes. Staff : Measurement done! Staff : Adjust error, vertical angle 3 degree. ViceCap : Prepared all for fire! Captain : All ships, Launch torpedos! Jung : Done it! Sister : Unbelievable! That's alive after the photon torpedo attack! Captain : What a strong creature! Staff : Enemies' small creatures approaching this ship. 20 seconds before the contact. Captain : Open all cannons. Accept battle! ------ In space,, Jung : This is 23nd. Sister : Wait! they are coming! Sister : Oh ass hole! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In the women's quarter, Noriko is crying, Noriko : Shall I die, if I go out to space? Is that the reason why coach ordered me to wait here? No one, No one know my.... That's natural, because I am always crying. If no one returns and then still I am crying alone? And I shall die here? ------ Linda : Oh!!! Jung : Linda! Linda! You monsters! -------- In the bridge, People : Oh! no! Staff : The top of the ship broken! Central computer room no response. Staff : No, Lader no longer works! Captain: hmmmm -------- Noriko : Smith, I die with you. I am reborn to different person. I no longer cry, I don't ask help, I do by myself. Announce: Ship tail broken. Second cannon broken. Announce: TOP corps, 48 percent defeated. Laser cannons 85% broken. Announce: 3d bridge broken! Announce: Received message from cruiser Boson, "UN-control, UN-control" Captain : Which is the flag creature? Staff : above the right of this ship, 25 degree. The distance 12000 by eye measurement. Captain : Engine power up to limit. We hit ourselves to the enemy. ViceCap : Captain! Captain : We must not let them go to the earth! Staff : Captain! Captain : What? Staff : 7th hatch opened. Captain : Oh what! Captain : No, stop, Takaya, GunBuster is not completed. Noriko : It can move for 10 minutes under the present condition. Captain : But impossible to sub-light-speed battle! Noriko : Then I hit myself to the enemy! Captain : Takaya Coach : The target is the flag creature. Ignore others! Noriko : Coach.... Yes! Captain : Commander Oota... Coach : Go! Noriko : Depart! Jung : What's that? Sister : GunBuster? Noriko : Buster Beam! Sister : Noriko! Jung : Noriko is in that? ---------- In the bridge Announce: Cruiser Fermion, sunk. Captain : Only this ship and GunBuster remain now. How is GunBuster? Announce: In battle with flag enemy. Hard fighting. ------------------------- Noriko : No hit! Too fast!

To be continued. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Science Lecture of "Aim for the TOP" Section 4: The Atrocious cosmic Monsters Noriko : Hi I am Takaya! Sister : I am Amano. The fourth lecture of well appreciated Science Lecture is about cosmic monsters. Miss Takaya, what do you know about them? Noriko : Yes! They are natural enemy of human beings that defeated not only Luxion fleet, but Exelion fleet. Sister : And... Noriko : hmmm. eh.. Ok, I explain them using figures. To begin with, this is a man. The size is under 2 meters. The white square at the center is a 1 metre by 1 meter square frame to show the size. Next, shrinking the view to one 10th, This is the machine weapon RX-7. And shrinking to one 10th, this is a creature for battle called "Soldier." They die a while after they separated from the mother creature. The object at the right is part of GunBuster! And shrinking to one 5th, This is GunBuster! Nice shape! Just like GeP Robo in the anime in the end of 20th century! #"GeP Robo": means "Getter Robo",, A robot hero in Japanese Anime. Sister : You know well! Just like a nurd (Otaku). Noriko : Well, that brashes me! I like old animes and SFX movies very much! I own all volumes of "Space Ship" and "Animage." #"Space Ship" : name of a Japanese journal for ocultic phenomena. #"Animage" : name of a Japanese journal for Japanese Animes Sister : You are great, Miss Takaya! Noriko : .... Then shrink to one 20th. Exelion and the cruiser class monster. And shrinking to one 100th. This is the biggest creature ever identified, called "Mother ship." Sister : Great! This creature is uncanny, but beautiful. The strongest creatures in the universe have warning colors. Noriko : Just like the super-monster in UltraP Ace! # UltraP Ace: representing "Ultraman Ace." One of the Ultraman series. Sister : Miss Takaya is the greatest nurd (otaku) in the universe! Noriko : (Laugh)... By the way, Senior Sister, It's funny isn't it? Coach has not yet appeared. Coach : Pay more attention, Takaya! Noriko : Coach! Sister : I am here! Noriko : Senior Sister! Coach : Listen to me, Takaya. Don't believe the appearance and shape of objects. You have an Effort and a Will and a Buster Machine! Sister : Then, see you next. Bye Bye.. Noriko : Unbelievable! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trailer to the next two episodes Display says, "Aim for the TOP" Episode 5, 6 Made Decision! Noriko : Suddenly decided to produce ! Display says, "Aim for the TOP" Episode 5, Scenario. Noriko : But scenario has not yet been written. That's true looking like a lie! Oh my god! What shall Noriko do? Noriko : The next episode, only the title has been decided, Episode 5, "Please!! Time enough for Love!" And the last episode, "At The End of The Eternal Time Flow!" Against them, Thunderbolt Kick! Display says, "Please be looking forward to the next episodes!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The New Science Lecture of "Aim for the TOP" Section 4+1: "The history of space ships" Noriko: Hi I am Takaya! Sister: It's long time since the last lecture. I am Amano. Sudden comeback of "The Science Lecture" after 6 years. This is the 4+1st lecture. I am going to discuss on the history of space ships. Well, Miss Takaya, please explain. Noriko: Eh? oh? Well, I completely forgot about that because it is six years since the episodes. Sister: No good. Ok I explain. The first generation space ship Apollo 11 Sister: The first generation space ship was a chemical reaction based rocket such as Apollo 11. The second generation space ship D. Papairow No7 constructed in 1999. launched in 2001. Sister: The second generation was a sub-light speed photon rocket. The third generation space ship Luxion Sister: The third generation was a super-light speed drop-shaped ship equipped with a degeneration reactor. Noriko: That's the dream of human beings. The first ship of this type was my daddy's Luxion! Sister: Yes. The fourth generation space ship Exelion Sister: And the fourth generation space ship Exelion had a lifting body rather than drop-shape in order to utilize the ether flow. Noriko: Was that true? The fifth generation space ship Eltreum Sister: More advanced fifth generation space ship Eltreum was an ether wing ship. This was the final result of the scientific technology! Noriko: Oh, this ship does not have main nozzle? Sister: No. You find a good point! The fifth generation ship Eltreum did not move by the reaction of jet like Newton type rocket, but moved by changing the physical principals around itself using pure mathematics. We can name it "Algorithmic Image Drive" # This navigation method is something like that in "Dune" Explanation Algorithm Drive The thinking based on pure mathematics controls the motion. Guen Banh Hein (1992 Vietnam) published a book "Quantum Mechanics by Intelligence" where the "Human principal" was proved in the field of Quantum Mechanics. Sister: In order to cancel the weakened causation around the ship, there were espers and electronic brained dolphins as navigators. Noriko: Was that true? Two : Oh! Coach : WOW! Coach : This is the punishment from the heaven. Why don't you remember such a thing. Noriko: Sorry.. Now I remember.. Coach : hmm Ok. Then explain Baster Machines. Noriko: Yes. Buster Machine III was developed as the final strategic weapon. The main body was also used as the primer to the 3000 slaves mined at 10 thousand light-year from the galaxy center. Buster Machine I and II was developed to guard Buster Machine III. They are combined to be a final Machine weapon GunBuster! Sister: The mass-production type GunBuster Sizzler does not separate and has only one degeneration reactor. Noriko: Then the reason why GunBuster is the strongest is due to its two reactors? Coach : Not enough. GunBuster consumes Effort and Will, thus strongest. Because Effort and Will are infinite. Noriko: Yes. Coach! Coach : You've made no progress in these 6 years. Sister: You too. Sister: Then, see you next! Two : bye bye! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avant title, View of an island in the sea.

Daddy, you also felt this sadness every when you returned to the earth? This sadness.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- August 6th. 4:15 pm Palomar Astronomical Observatory. ----------------------- A staff : Oh? What? I can't hear you. Space Force, section of information. A staff : In the vicinity of the Lyra 326? Enemy's big corps? Observatory Satellite. The voice: Yes. Due to too many enemies, space is not dark. 70% by enemies, 30% by space darkness. Ok? 70% by enemies, 30% by space darkness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Space Force, small conference room. 6:20 a.m. Leader of observatory section Leader: The observed data by the degeneration lader says, because the enemy corps is concentrated in high density, it is impossible to count the precise number of enemies. Approximately, it is supposed to be over 100 million. The diameter of the corps is approximately 80 astronomical units. It is unknown when they reach the farthest defense line. People: 80 astronomical unit size is almost the diameter of the orbit of Pluto.. Admiral Tasiro Tasiro: Those guys have come, at last! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cal* at 7th August: go to SEA with Jung. 10th : meet Kimiko at 10:00 TV says, "TOP corps desolved" Caster : TOP corps established 11 years ago, was officially desolved. Announce: Lieutenant Takaya, Lieutenant Takaya, Commander Oota is expecting you. Expected to the teacher's room. Noriko : Rain? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the teachers' room Sister : You are too selfish! You always do as you do now, and don't take care of me... Coach : Then, don't come to me. Noriko : Senior Sister... Coach : gggg Noriko : Coach! Coach! Noriko : Hello, this is Okinawa girl's school.... Noriko : Coach, What you've done.. Coach : Don't tell it to Amano.. If you tell her, I ... kill you! Noriko : Coach. Cheer up! Coach! Coach! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Day Jung : Noriko, I am going to find new love. I no longer follow the coach.. One's life is different form other's life. More meetings, more separations. I have only one life of mine, I don't waist any minute. Time flies, non stop. But you are melancholy.. Today is that day? # "That day" means the day for woman's physiological phenomenon. Noriko : You fool (Baka) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the bathroom In the memory,, Jung : One's life is different form other's life. Noriko : So, I live my own life.. In the memory,, Noriko : Coach, Coach.. Cheer up! .. Coach.. Coach : Takaya, Now we, human being are at the biggest crises ever since our beginning. Noriko : There's something more important... Coach : Shut up. Listen to me! Noriko : ah! Coach : The enemy corps is coming. The biggest attack ever.. The chance to survive is only one out of 10000. That's your GunBuster.. Noriko : Coach.. Coach : Takaya. You must WIN. In order to save our earth, and people, GunBuster must WIN. Listen to me.. Noriko : Yes. Coach : Each of you and Amano is a fire. The character means fire. Combination of you two turns out to be a Flame. The character means flame. The GunBuster of the flame is the strongest in the space! Noriko : Coach. Coach : I chose you two, so that You can WIN! Noriko : Yes Coach. Coach : Takaya,, Noriko : Yes.. Coach : At that time, I had to save Admiral Takaya, even if I would die. But in the reality, It's I that survived... I am very sorry for that. Noriko : No, Coach, Don't say that. Coach : The reason why I have been surviving is to send the future, which I received from the admiral, to you two together with GunBuster. Coach : And that will soon be over... Takaya.. Noriko : Yes.. Coach : Concerning my illness, don't tell it to Amano.. She is not so strong.. that she cannot fight if she knows that. Takaya.. Please,, guard Amano.. save.. her Back to reality (bathroom) from the memory. Noriko : Is it I that guard ... the senior sister..? Tears? She must know... The senior sister must.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GunBuster.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imperial Capitol city Tokyo... The ministry of Earth Defense. The paper says, On Conference. A Man : Enemies have come! Emergency conference We all humanity must accept battle! Commander in Chief Chief : How is Eltreum? Leader of Ship Construction section. Leader : 16% of equipment has been done. From the day after tomorrow, 1500 more support corps will.. Manager of ship construction department Manager : No No NO! Impossible to attack! Vice Commander in Chief ViceChief: The battle ship without equipment is a stone raccoon dog (Tanuki). # Japanese raccoon dog is an animal usually appears in Japanese legends. # The animal is said to cheat people. # "The stone raccoon dog" here means "Disabled creature" that cannot move # because it is of stone. 1st (planning) leader Leader : Considering the force power at present, The possibility of the win is under 1/10000! Vice Manager of Space force ViceManager: Then what shall we do? They may break into the farthest defense line, tomorrow. Oota : I propose! People : Commander Oota... Oota : We use Exelion which are decided to be disposed. We send man-less Exelion to the center of enemy corps. And release its kings valve, then the degeneration reactor will be infinitely activated. Due to the Void effect, the reactor turns out to be an artificial black hole 2 minutes and 40 second later. And that swallows almost all of enemies together with Tonans. # Tonans is the 13th planet of solar system. # In the science lecture, it is called Jupiter 2 in English, # but the original name in Japanese "RaiOuSei" means "Thunder King Star" # So, I think Tonans (= Thunderer) is more appropriate than Jupiter 2. In oder to guard Exelion, we use Baster Machines. ViceChief: Commander Oota... that's too absurd. Oota : The enemies are over 100 million.. We have only one completed GunBuster.. Do you say there's another plan? No! No other plan! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultra Hikari Shinkansen (bullet train) for Tokyo In 10th car of 061 train Announce: Announcement from the conductor's compartment.

Noriko : Yes! -------------------------- Sister : 3 billion and 800 million kirometres to center. Noriko, to the center.. Noriko : Yes! Oh! Noriko : 1 billion kirometres left to center. Oh, 4 months on the Earth. Sister : Oh no, I can't go farther! Noriko : Senior Sister!! Sister : I can't move. no longer move. Noriko : sister... Sister : He is going to die! I can't see him even though I return to the earth. I've not yet said nothing! Not yet said "I love you, I need you" Not yet said "Hold me!" Nothing have I said. Sister : At that time, I'd expected him to kiss me. to hold me.. expecting his word "I love you" But, I cannot see him again. NO! NO! Noriko : Senior Sister, cheer up! We will be defeated! What is these 6 months for Coach? He also wants to be with you. The last 6 months. He wanted to say "Don't go " and hold you. But he gave up those things. And he gave us those 6 months. Gave them to GunBuster! It's that 6 months. Senior Sister!! Not only coach, but Kimiko,,and Jung,, They entrust us with their future. If we were to loose, what would it be for them? We must We must We must WIN! Please! Kazumi! Fight! # Noriko switched the call name of Kazumi Amano from Senior Sister to Kazumi. # This means Noriko is now stronger than Kazumi. Sister : Alright!

Ride on, Ride on, Ride on! Sister : I fight for these 6 months, For you. That's the only way to live with you! Two : GunBuster!!!!! Sister : Noriko, Exelion is alive! It is below the left of us. Noriko : Senior Sister, I do that! Sister : Yes. No problem! Noriko : WOW! Two : Super ... Thunderbolt ... Kick! Noriko : Don't regard the combined GunBuster as the ordinary machine! Coach's ...... Coach's ..... Coach's wish is in it! Sister : Noriko, enemy above us. Falling down.. Sister : From downward... they comes, approximately 3000. Noriko : Homing Laser!

But, Kimiko, you must appreciate me,, Daddy! Aim for the TOP! to be continued. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The New Science Lecture of "Aim for the TOP" The Last Section: "The True Solar System" Noriko: Hi, I am Takaya. Sister: I am Amano. This is the last section of Science Lectures. The last theme is on our solar system. Noriko: Yes. To begin with, the planets of the solar system are, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. # Noriko says Japanese name of planets. # Sui(Water) Kin(Gold) Chi(earth) Ka(Fire) Moku(Wood) Do(Soil) # Ten(Heaven) Kai(Sea) Mei(world of Death). # SuiSei (Water Star) = Mercury # KinSei (Gold Star) = Venus # ChiKyuu(Earth Globe)= Earth # KaSei (Fire Star) = Mars # MokuSei(Wood Star) = Jupiter # DoSei (Soil Star) = Saturn # TennOuSei(Heaven King Star) = Uranus # KaiOuSei (Sea King Star ) = Neptune # MeiOuSei (Death-World King Star) = Pluto. Sister: What are the costume you had now. Noriko: They are costume plays of the anime at the end of 20th century, which I like very much. From Saturn the costume was those. # "Costume play (Cosplay)" is a play of anime nurds. A kind of mascarade. # They ware the costume of anime characters. # Here, Noriko had the costume of Sailor Warriors # in the famous anime "Sailor moon," where the name of each Sailor Worriers is # from the name of each planet. Sailor Mercury (Ami), Sailor Venus (Minako) # Sailor Mars (Rei), Sailor Jupiter (Makoto), and Sailor Moon (Usagi = Rabbit) # and Usagi's boy friend Tuxedo Mask (Mamoru) as Earth. # These days, on TV, Usagi and Tuxedo Mask's daughter "Chibi-usa # (Petite Rabbit) is playing an important role in the story. Sister: Those!? Ok, These are 9 planets. However, by the exploration of the far space and observation by degeneration lader, the solar system was further investigated. Miss Takaya! Noriko: Yes. This is the 10th planet found in 1999, named Lucifer. This is Metis. And the next is Kaminatsukisei. And this is the Tonans where there was the solar system's farthest defense line, and the area of that operation. And this is the coupled star with the sun, named Nemesis, whose orbit is 0.5 light speed year from the sun. Sister: Oh you know well. Noriko: After I began to watch Animes, I got interest in them and studied a lot. Coach : You are great! "What one likes, one will do well" For everything, Effort and Will! Noriko: Yes. I am a pretty girl warrior of not "Love and Justice", but of "Effort and Will." Coach : What? pretty girl? Who? Noriko: I expect nothing from you. Sister: Then, good bye! Noriko: Take care! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avant Title, After Fifteen Years.

Okinawa girl's school of Astronauts, New Buildings Kasiwara: You were my classmate, but I am now ten years older than you. Space is wondrous place. Are you going to outer space again? Kazumi : Yes. Kasiwara: Why did you apply to that? You are the heroin of The Solar System Defense. Kazumi : Noriko made me fight at that time. Miss Kasiwara. It was she that saved the earth. Students: Coach! Coach! Coach! Coach Takami : You are really going today? Kazumi : Yes. I am sorry, but I can't return for a long time. Takami : Oh No! Coach! A Student: We, all, made this together. Please take this to outer space. Kazumi : Thank you. I am very glad. Takami : Coach, This is from my mother to Ant Noriko. Kazumi : Alright. Student : Coach!

Continent of Australia. Kazumi : The area around there is not yet restored. Leader : In order to make the Black Hole Bomb, we don't have a time to do that. Kazumi : Well, It's fifteen years since that. Leader : The super gravity decay took place at the orbit of Tonans. So the damage that only 3 planets lost and distortion of earth axis is smaller than that expected. Kazumi : Well yes.. Leader : But this operation is to annihilate all of the center of galaxy together with the nests of monsters. I doubt that Human beings have the right to do such a thing. It is to destroy the galaxy! Kazumi : Otherwise, humanity has no future. Leader : If that's a destiny of human beings, we should rather accept the destiny. My opinion is that we should do nothing. Kazumi : That means a suicide. I wonder if the suicide is a happy ending. Leader : I have no idea. Kazumi : I also have no idea. But the future history will evaluate that. What we have to do now is to make an effort to survive..

Announce: Captain! gravity quake at Area 573D. Enemies warp out. Tasiro : Oh my god! Tasiro : Unbelievable! They can warp such a short distance! ViceCap : They seem to hit the black hole bomb by themselves. Tasiro : Oh, Kamikaze attack? They are aware of the black hole bomb! Resist them. Don't let them in! ViceCap : Impossible! Super-Exelion class ship cannot resist! Tasiro : Damn it! Announce: 30 second before enemy's first attack. ViceCap : Barrier Maximum! Announce: Enemy's first attack contact Barrier!

Announce: 10 seconds before start. Tasiro : What's the matter? Staff : No, only 98% of slaves operated. Tasiro : Unbelievable! Announce: Mass is not enough. Unless we make a chain reaction of degeneration, the implosion will not start! We failed. Tasiro : Oh my god! Is this the result of the operation by all humanity? No god? No Buddha? ViceCap : The god ignored us. Tasiro : No miracle took place. Noriko : Yes. Miracle shall take place. I make it does. Tasiro : Takaya, what are you going to do? Noriko : BasterMachine has a big degeneration reactor! That can prime the chain reaction. Tasiro : No, we cannot allow a maned ship to prime! Wait until we prepare an man-less ship. Noriko : Before that, enemy's main corps will come, and destroy it. Tasiro : Takaya.. Noriko : Senior Sister.. Tasiro : Commander Oota, you go as well? Kazumi : No, now we have two degeneration reactors. One left will take us back to the earth. Noriko : Senior Sister... Kazumi : let's go home to the earth together. Noriko : Yes. Kazumi : No time.

No problem. resistible. Jung : I go as well. Noriko : Jung... Kazumi : No, go back! Noriko : Sizzler black cannot resist the pressure in Jupiter. Jung : I don't care about that. Noriko : Jung.. Kazumi : Don't misunderstand us. We don't go to die. Not a suicide. Jung : But, If you are here, tens of years, hundreds of years later I can't expect when you come back. No longer we can spend the same time. Noriko : I know it. Jung : Then why? Noriko : But, other people can spend the same time. I don't want to let Takami feel such a sadness.

Noriko : 12000 years later... Kazumi : Here is the earth. Noriko.. Noriko : I no longer identify where is Okinawa.. Where are human beings. I can't see lights nor signals. Kazumi : Is it that human beings went to ruin? Okinawa was around here... The sign on the earth says "Welcome home!" # In Japanese "O Ka E Ri Na Sa I", where the last letter "I" is mirror image # in the signal. I don't exactly know why. But I guess that it suggests # the humanity of the 140th century is something different from us. Noriko : Senior Sister! Kazumi : Yes. We've come home! We have.. Noriko : Thank you, GunBuster, .... good bye... Ending music "Beyond The River of Time Flow" Directed by Hideaki Anno The End -------------------------------------------------------------------------
