Here, drink

Damn it.

Run! Hurry!

For the sake of limited life!

For the future of all that is life!

The time of rebellion has come...

What's the matter, young one?

I can't walk anymore.

Go on without me.

If you want to live,
Walk as long as you
have your life.

Fight as long as you have life.

When you lose your will,
You will die.

The Galaxy Express?

That railroad hasn't been
operating for a long time.

The Galaxy Express died too.

But I still recall those days.

It's a dream.

When you look back
at your youth...

it all looks like a dream.

Laugh and cry
and only memories remain.

Promethium is dead.

The mechanization home planet
is gone from the universe.

Damn it.

Calm down, young one.

I'll make them stop.

Tetsuro

Shut up! Shut up!

You fool!

Does he want to be
the target of sn*pers?

It's really getting to him.

You can't help it.

At this point everyone would feel
like a cornered sewer rat.

We've lost.

Drink, Tetsuro.

I saw Promethium die.

I see.

I saw the mechanization
home planet crumble.

I see.

I really saw it.

I see.

Eternal life rules...

the universe.

Only machine bodies...

that possess eternal life...

rule the universe.

Finite life...is piteous.

What we build is
an eternal Machine Empire...

supported by machine
eternal lives.

Pops, someone's
comin' this way!

What?

Stop!

I'm with you.

I've come with a message.

Message?

Is Tetsuro Hoshino here?

Wait!

Is that you?

Yes.

I've looked for you.

This is for me?

Now it's yours.

Hey. Hey! Hang in there.

I am Maetel.

Tetsuro, get on the 999.

Tetsuro, get on the 999.

I am Maetel.

Tetsuro, get on the 999.

I am Maetel.
Tetsuro, get on the 999.

I am Maetel.
Tetsuro, get on the 999.

I am Maetel.
Tetsuro, get on the 999.

I am... Maetel.

- Are you going to go, young one?
- Yes

But there's no knowing
if the 999 is even there.

They have control of Megalopolis
and Central Station.

Are you still going to go?

It's good to be young.

You can bet all of yourself
on the smallest of hopes.

Everyone, our young one
says he's going.

Lets send him out in style.

That's right.

Don't just stand there...
Come on!

Don't stop! Run!

It's all up to you now..

Why would 999 even come
to a ruin like this?

Tetsuro, don't get
discouraged!

Now!

I'm all right!

I'll keep them here.

Go now!

But?

Do you want to die
in a place like this?

Don't look back! Go!

Line 99...

It's 999's track.

There's no way 999 could be?



Tetsuro?

I've been waiting for you.

We'll leave right away.

Please come aboard
at your earliest opportunity!

I am Locomotive C6248.

Boiler internal pressure.
Full.

All systems check.

Go!

Tetsuro, hurry. Hurry!

What are you waiting for?

Hurry, hurry!

Hurry, hurry!

Hurry, Tetsuro, hur-- hey!

Wait for me!

Tetsuro!

The switch!

Tetsuro... When you come
back to Earth someday...

when Earth is back in your hands...
you'll dig the ground and find
our red blood flowing out.

This is our planet, our Earth.

You must not die...

before you see our blood.

Our... young one...

I'm not running away.

I'm not running away!

Come. I will return.

I have to admit, Tetsuro...

I'm really glad to see you again.
It's really been a long time.

Oh, by the way, you do have
your pass, don't you?

Regulations require me...
not to let anyone on board
without a pass.

Conductor, where did Maetel
get off last time?

Well. Um, that is--
thank you.

Was it Pluto?

She, ah, disembarked
while I wasn't looking...

where did she get off,
I wonder?

Traveling alone isn't
all that bad, you know.

A machine woman!

Tetsuro, don't!

This is our waitress,
Metaimena.

Metaimena?

Yes, she's the replacement
for Claire.

I see.

Sir, you must clean up if you
wash to enter the dining car.

You will be refused,
otherwise.

You may not like it,
but please bear with it.

These are hard times...

making it even harder
to find a waitress...

for a train whose destination
is unknown.

Destination unknown?
This train?

That's right!

Only the locomotive knows
where we are going.

That's irresponsible!

I'm terrible sorry.

Not even its own
employees...

know how the Galaxy Express
Corporation is being run these days.

Well, then--

Wait, do I really have
to do this?

Yes, sir.
I'll take care of your laundry
in the meantime.

Pluto...

I thought for sure Maetel
would've got off here.

I am Maetel.

Tetsuro, get on 999.

I am Maetel.
Tetsuro, get on 999.

I am Maetel.
Tetsuro, get on 999.

I am Maetel.
Tetsuro, get on 999.

It's so inconvenient
to be human.

You have to eat
such unsanitary things.

In that respect,
we machine people...only need to
replace capsule energy.

What's the point of food
you can't enjoy?

Funny girl.

She said she signed up
as a 999 waitress...

to acquire the most wonderful
thing in the universe.

The most wonderful thing
in the universe?

Yes, sir, but I have
no idea what that is.

This trip is filled
with too many mysteries.

I'm so--Oh, yes, I should take
a bath and try to feel better.

Conductor, Conductor!

Yes-Yes, sir!

The signal is yellow.

No-No, you mustn't
open the door!

Why not?
We're both guys.

But, no!

I'm coming out right away

You're only telling me
to go ahead and come in.

No!

What's that sound?

Galaxy Express 999,
yield to a fork.

You are not to block
the passage of this train.

I am on my proper track.

Yield, fool!

It's the ghost train.

Ghost train?

Conductor,
what is that train carrying?

I haven't the faintest idea...

I have never been
passed by another train.

To be passed by some
unknown train like that...

how vexing!


how truly pathetic!

The aftermath of the revolts.

Revolts?

Yes!

They were most active in the area...
around Heavy Melder,
where Trader's Crossroads was.

But only the machine people's
armored trains...and tanks
were attacked.

Oh' that's right.
We have friends in space.

Oh, yes, I forgot.

Tetsuro, I've found out
what our next station will be.

Next stop is
planet Heavy Melder!

Heavy Melder?

Or so it was supposed to be...

But the former Great Frontier's
atmosphere...

has been hopelessly
contaminated from the warfare...

And the station facilities were
destroyed. We'll just be passing
through, sir.

What?

Instead, we'll be stopping
at planet La Matal.

La Matal?

It's Heavy Melder's satellite.

I hear it has a one-thousand-year
elliptical orbit, sir.

La Matal. La Matal.

Passengers disembarking here...

are to present identification
and submit to a personal search.

Repeat, passengers
disembarking here...

are to present identification
and submit to a personal search.

Damn it, This planet is also
gone to the machine people.

This is Maetel's birthplace.

What?

I said this is
Maetel's birthplace.

If you doubt me,
you can go see for yourself.

Use this.

Tetsuro.

You shouldn't go.
The security's too tight.

I'll be fine.

Where could I possibly go
to find Maetel's whereabouts?

Maetel!

How is your injury?

- Did you patch me up?
- Yeah.

Thank you!

I am--

Tetsuro Hoshino, passenger
on the Galaxy Express, aren't you?

I had to check, just in case.

I'm Meowdar
from the planet Andorado.

Perhaps it isn't so palatable
to Earth people?

Listen, Everyone!

Today, our struggle...
is facing a difficult situation.

We may become desperate.

But we must not
cease the fight.

Hear me out.

We shall fight,
as long as any humans...

who still have blood
in them hold onto hope...

as long as anyone has
a possibility!

We've always fought!

Raise tour cup!

Let us also raise our voices
for the future of humanity!

How many times I was
on the verge of losing courage.

But each time,
I'd tell myself

that I had friends.

Some of them...were even involved
in the destruction of the
mechanization home planet.

But that wasn't the end.

I thought it was,
but it wasn't.

I see!

I thought the name
Tetsuro Hoshino sounded familiar.
So it was you?

I saved quite a big shot.

Enemy attack!

Fire, fire and fire!

Stay calm, Tetsuro.

Machine people can see
in the dark.

If you stay put,
they'll make the move.

They will come to you.

Now!

Where are we?

I don't know...
what are you asking me for?

What was that?

Don't worry.

It's this.

It's something
I have of my father.

He was k*lled by the machine
people with my mother...

in the battle on Andorado.

Tetsuro,
what about your family?

The same.

The machine people
got my mother.

And your father?

Mother told me he died...

fighting the machine people.

I see.

We're alike.

But why did you come
to this planet?

- I'm looking for someone.
- Who?

Her name is Maetel.
Have you heard of her?

Maetel, the daughter
of Promethium?

- I'll help you k*ll her.
- k*ll her?

You're going to k*ll her, aren't you?
She is the current Promethium.

You didn't know?

They say Maetel took
Promethium's place.

That's a lie!

I heard it.

Maetel became Promethium.
There's no mistake.

What's the matter,
Tetsuro?

She looks just
like Promethium.

Then this castle is...

What is it?

It's 999's departure time.

I'll take you there.
Come this way, Tetsuro.

Damn it.
We can't get through this.

Captain Harlock!

Let's take that.

So long, Tetsuro.

Thanks.

Don't die before me.

That's a man-to-man
promise.

All right.

Nice punch, by the way.

Don't you die either,
Meowdar!

I see. So you couldn't find
Miss Maetel.

Maetel?

Maetel!

How have you been?

I am Maetel.

Tetsuro, get on the 999...

It doesn't matter where.

Get off the 999
any place you want.

We can ask the locomotive
to take you...to whichever
planet you wish.

They say Maetel took over
Promethium's place.

That's a lie!

Tetsuro...

Maetel.


listen!

I am Faust, the Black Knight...
who controls
the Galaxy Express.

Head toward the Control Center
immediately.

Locomotive,
what do we do?

I cannot listen to the demand.
My schedule will be ruined.

I am in control
of this train now...

not the Galaxy Express
Authority.

If you do not follow my orders...
I will be forced to
destroy you, 999.

I am Locomotive C6248.

I cannot betray my conscience.
I cannot.

Locomotive,
follow the orders.

Maetel!

There is no other way.

The crew does not
need to disembark.

B-But I must protect
the passengers.

There is no such need.

Y-Yes, sir.

Follow the walkway.

Promethium.

Queen Promethium is...the truly
great ruler of the universe.

Her name is Eternal.

Don't put me on.
Promethium is dead!

Isn't that true, Maetel?

So you are Faust,
the Black Knight!

Tetsuro...

What's the matter?

Why do you stare at me so?

Stop it!

Tetsuro!

Faust, what do you intend
to do with Tetsuro?

Do not worry.

I only intend to send him
on a journey through time
for a while.

Geez...
what was that all about?

Where am l?

Hey!

Wait up!

M-Mother--

That's me!

I remember now!

This is the night
before Mother was k*lled.

It's so cold.
I can't get warm at all.

Come over here.
I'll warm you up.

Mother, you're so warm.

Am l?

This is the last night
with mother.

She was still alive
at this time,

she held me with her hands.

Mother, we're finally going to
Megalopolis tomorrow, aren't we?

I'll do my best to help
you buy a pass.

We'll get on the 999 together,
won't we, Mother?

Of course we will.

That's right! If I can tell them now...
mother won't have to die.

I might be able to change
the course of time!

Mother!

It's me, Tetsuro!

Mother!

Open the door!

Mother, open the door!

The wind's starting to blow.

Mother!

Open the door!

Hurry!

Mother! Mother!

Open the door!

Stop! Don't k*ll Mother!

Stop!

Tetsuro, Hurry!

Don't sh**t!

Don't k*ll Mother!

Don't k*ll her!

Mother! Mother!

Tetsuro!

How was it, Tetsuro,
to have seen the past?

That was... a tragedy.

A tragedy with no comparison.

See how it is:
When humans die, it's all over.

Do you still want to rebel
against Queen Promethium?

Do you not want to live
forever, as we do?

- If you have eternal life--
- You're wrong!

It isn't over when you die!

Red blood flows in my body.

It's the same red blood
as my dead mother and pops!

I swore to pops...

that I would return, alive, to the
earth...to the Earth soaked
with their blood.

Did you swear that
to your father?

I swore it to my dead comrades,
and to the old man!

Their blood was lost
for my sake!

So then they are
the ones you call Father!

For Pop's sake,
I stand where I stand!

Is that a Warrior's Weapon
you have...?

Draw!

Are you so eager
to fight me?

That's right!
Draw, Damn you!

No, Tetsuro!

Maetel!

Stay calm, Tetsuro.

If you stay put...
they'll make the move;

they'll come to you.

Tetsuro...

you have learned...

far more than I thought.

But it may have been better
to have lost to me.

Listen well.

You are on a journey believing
that finite life is the best.

But your journey leads
you into despair.

Soon, you will face
that despair.

Soon.

Do you know
where I'm going?

You profess to know
where 999 is headed?

The locomotive and Maetel, too,
know where you are going.

Maetel knows...?

Farewell, Tetsuro.

I shall see you again,
if you are still alive.

Is Maetel back yet?

No, not yet.

Go ahead without me.

No, sir!

Let me go, let me go!

Maetel.

I am Emeraldas.

Come to a stop, 999.

Maetel?

She was about to fall
into the bottom of space.

Maetel...

it seems you still continue
your hard journey.

Tetsuro...

it is your duty
to protect Maetel.

That is, if you are a man.

This is what I wanted.

This beautiful face,
this beautiful body.

Finally, it can
become mine now.

Maetel--

Did you bring Maetel here?

Yes. I thought
I'd tend to her.

Maetel,

I'm not giving up.

Someday, I'll--

Someday.

Next stop: planet Mosaic.

I've been told we'll be stopping...
for two hours sixteen minutes
and thirty seconds.

Planet Mosaic?

It's a small planet
at the entrance...

to the Andromeda Galaxy, sir.

Andromeda Galaxy.

Have I come that far...?

Tetsuro...


is your last chance.

Past that,
there's no turning back.

None at all.

I'll get off at Mosaic with you.

We can live together on some planet...
for the rest of our lives,
if you wish, Tetsuro.

Why? You told me in the message
card to get on the train.

Now you are telling me
to get off.

You don't try to deny
the rumor that you've become
the new Promethium.

On top of that, you physically tried
to stop me from fighting Faust.

This journey is filled
with too many mysteries.

I hear you're not
getting off 999.

Nope.

You're not afraid?

You don't know
what you're going to be facing.

Of course I'm afraid. But I won't be
able to face my dead comrades
if I turn back here.

You don't mind dying?

I won't die!
I will return to Earth!

You'll never be able
to get back. Never.

How old are you?

Tetsuro is young.

A youth doesn't consider defeat.

He believes in a final victory...
despite a discouragement or two.

That's true youth.

There used to be
many youths like that.

Dear Maetel...

You seem to have known
so many young people.

Yes. I am a woman
who journeys through time.

I've traveled with a countless
number of youths.

We laughed and cried together...
and parted at death.

I will never forget the youths
with whom I've traveled.

I shall engrave my heart.
With the memories of each
and every one of them.

Forever.

It's the ghost train.

Meowdar, is that you?

Meowdar?

Meowdar?

Meowdar!
It's me, Tetsuro Hoshino!

Meowdar!

Meowdar!

You won't be able
to turn back from here on.

Tetsuro...

Your destination is the planet Great
Andromeda... at the center
of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Planet Great Andromeda?

Planet Great Andromeda?

Yes. Situated in the balance of
gravity among a great star cluster...

it's the capital of the Machine
Empire which rules the universe.

Why didn't you
mention that before?

You still would have gone,
even if I had told you.

And you would never have
come back alive.

Then why did you send me
that message card?

I didn't do that.

That was a trap to send you out
on a journey to Great Andromeda.

But I don't understand.

Why go to all that trouble...

instead of just k*lling me
in the beginning?

Something's wrong.
What is it?

Conductor?

Y-Yes, ma'am?

You look a little concerned.

Well, it's just another mystery.
The 999 isn't going straight.

It's not going straight?

Yes. It is correctable,

but something is affecting me.

I do not know what...but there
is something to the right...
with a strong pull.

I am afraid.
I am very afraid.

Twenty seconds until reentry...
into Great Andromeda's atmosphere.

Thirty minutes forty-five
seconds...

until maximum,
gravitational power brakes.

Final station.

Planet Great Andromeda.

Planet Great Andromeda.

To exit on the upper levels...
take escalator No.808.

For under ground levels,
take the descent path...
to escalator No.989.

Andromeda. Andromeda.

Planet Great Andromeda...

Final station, Great Andromeda.

You have finally come Tetsuro.

Calm down.

You have come here
as a guest.

I will not fight you.

As proof, see that I have
come unarmed.

Maetel, Your Highness,
your ride awaits.

Thank you.

Tetsuro...

Go ahead and go to the hotel.

But?

Please, do as I say, Tetsuro.

Look well, Tetsuro.

There is no fear of death here.

There is no hunger.
It's a utopia.

Man can retain
his infinite possibilities forever.

The youth which is but a passing
moment for your humans...

can go on endlessly here.

Wonderful!
Eternal life is so wonderful!

Hmm? They're eating
the same thing as Metalmena.

Those capsules are manufactured
here and distributed
to the entire universe.

It is the source of power that
supports the mechanized worlds.

Welcome,
my daughter Maetel.

Mother.

You still call me Mother?

You and Tetsuro destroyed your
other half, the planet Maetel...

You and Tetsuro destroyed your
other half, the planet Maetel...

as well as my
humanoid-form half.

We have both lost
our respective halves.

Let us hate each other
no longer.

- Let us talk now, Maetel.
- Yes.

Any and everyone
betrayed me.

I was practically exiled...

from our home planet,
La Metal...

with only you,
my daughter with me.

After I arrived
on this piece of rock...

I relied on no one.

With no one but myself,
I built up the machine planet.

I built the mechanized worlds
where there is no fear of death.

What hard labor that was...

but my hardship is finally
to be rewarded.

I can leave the rest to you.

And I can retire to become
the heart of this planet.

Yes, Mother.

Maetel is late.

T-Tetsuro... something's up?

Long live the new Queen!

Long live the new Queen!

Glory to the Machine Empire!

Long live Her Majesty,
Queen Maetel!

Maetel!

Maetel!

Maetel!

For what purpose did
we travel together?

For what purpose...?

Tetsuro!

Maetel wants you.

Maetel does?

Maetel.

Tetsuro, engrave into
your heart well...

what you are about to see.

Why is the Ghost Train here?

Open the dome.

Only the queen may have
access into the dome.

My apologies.
It is Her Majesty's orders.

Unlocking doors.

What's this?

This is the factory
to extract the flame of life.

Meowdar!

Meowdar!

I am Meowdar
from the planet Andorado.

Don't you die before me.

It's a man-to-man promise.

Meowdar!

What a wussy,
crying just because some died.

It is not shameful for a young
man to cry for his friend.

Do you have a friend
who will cry for you?

Does this still look
like a paradise to you, Metalmena?

Here, eat this!

Eat it.

It's the flame of life!

Aren't you going to eat it?

What's the matter?

What eternal life?

There is no paradise built
on top of human lives.

You are all under arrest.

Metalmena!

Metalmena!

Metalmena...

I wanted eternal life...

and Maetel's body, the most
beautiful body in the universe.

I understand now.
I lose, Tetsuro.

Metalmena, you're so--

Are you crying for me?

Thank you.

Tetsuro, get those people
on the 999.

There's one thing
I want to do before that.

I must defeat Promethium.

You will not defeat mother.

I...

the one descended from her
bloodline,... must defeat her.
That is destiny.

I knew you would betray me,
Maetel.

I, your own mother.

The mother who gave you
everything and only wanted
to rest in peace.

But I will not be defeated, never.

k*ll her!

k*ll Maetel!

What is to be done
with Tetsuro...?

I only brought Tetsuro here
because you requested it.

But he is mutually exclusive
from the machine world,
a fated enemy.

There is no pointing
keeping him alive.

You will not say you can't
do that, will you, Faust?

I have been awaiting you,
Your Highness, Maetel!

By the order of Queen Promethium,
I am to take your life.

Faust!

Tetsuro!

Leave him to me, Maetel!

What are you doing, Maetel?

Are you trying to k*ll
your mother?

I cared for you so much...

Maetel... Maetel...

Forgive me, Mother.

Foolish daughter.

This is not Planet Maetel.

This is the capital
of the Machine Empire
which rules the entire universe.

The capital of eternal life,
Great Andromeda.

In other words, my own self.

You were reared to inherit
the future, and you betrayed me!

Die!

Perish!

Along with the humans!

I'm sorry, Your Highness--

Two battleship have entered...
the absolute Machiner's Area.

What?

But what is this shaking?

Wh-Wh-What's happening?

Tetsuro! Maetel!
Hurry, hurry aboard!

Tetsuro, l--

What are you doing?
Hurry, Maetel!

A battle satellite--

Everyone,
evacuate to the front!

Harlock!

The trajectories are curving
to the right--

Strange, the trajectories are
biased to the right.

Why?

Report! A strong attractive force
is coming from aft right.

What?

What's wrong? Are we hit?

Some terrible gravity is
acting on me.

There is nothing I can do.

Siren the Witch.

Siren the Witch?

Siren the Witch?

When Siren the Witch sings...

all life and all flames
of life will perish.

It's been a legend in the Andromeda
Galaxy from Antiquity.

Siren the Witch. Why?

Why would it come here?
Why?

Siren the Witch...

is a great, dark comet
that travels through space...

in search of foreign energy.

Promethium saturated this region
with machine energy.

Siren the Witch is
attracted to it.

The machine energy
of the Machine Empire...

has attracted
Siren the Witch here.

Correct.

And so, being a machine myself...
I will not sleep for a while.

I leave the rest to you, Friend.

Cease automatic navigation!
Switch to manual!

We cannot use machine energy.
We must operate on manual power.

Afterburners at full!
Correct course 22 degrees to port!

Wait.

It's been a long time.

The time has come to settle
the final score with Tetsuro.

Will you be our witness?

Very well.

Will you swear not to intervene
no matter who wins?

I do. But it will be
a painful fight.

Without a victor
in this fight...

neither I nor Tetsuro
have a future.

You are the devil.

The devil.

I am the devil
in the form of a man.

Farewell, Harlock.

Farewell, Friend.

Do you still call me Friend?

Will you hold this for me?

Yes.

Harlock... You must now witness...
the most painful thing
in the universe.

Strange.

With this much of a power boost,
we should be able to escape.

There still must be machine
energy operating on the 999.

Good-Bye, Tetsuro.

Tetsuro.

Wait, Faust!

What's wrong?

It's Faust! The Black Knight
is on this train.

Tetsuro...

This time, neither of us
may withdraw.

If we're to make our peace,
it must be now.

Maetel!

No one must intervene.
This is a man-to-man fight.

If you care for Tetsuro,
you must not intervene.

I can still see you without light.

It is the same as before.
Wait for me.

Will you be able...

to wait it out?

You've become strong...

Tetsuro.

Farewell.

Farewell...

Son.

Farewell...

My son!

Cold...

Cold...

So cold.

Maetel, won't you warm me up?

Maetel, my dear daughter.

Maetel... Maetel...
Maetel...

This is the spaceship you
and your mother wandered
through space in?

She arrived here on this small,
rock planet.

She fought against loneliness
on this rock...

and built the Machine Empire.

She thought it was good.

My mother.

It must have been a hard
and long journey.

But finally,
your journey is ended.

Finally.

Are you going to return
to Earth then?

Yes.

That's what I promised
my dead comrades.

And all the people we saved
said they'll come too.

I see.

Tetsuro...

your father was once
a wonderful fighter...

who fought
along Emeraldas and me.

Unfortunately,
we parted our ways...

but you resemble
your father much.

Tetsuro...

your goals maybe different
from your father's...

but you must overcome that
and build your own, young future.

From father to son,
and then again to your own son...

blood is passed on eternally.

I believe that is
the true form of eternal life.

Conductor?

Oh, welcome back.

What's the matter?

I've finally realized.

I'm ashamed I couldn't decide
if a live body was better...

or if a machine body was better.

Nothing going to stop me now.

Which?

Oh, of course,
back to my original body.

There hasn't been much point
in taking baths, has there?

Maetel...

you cannot go with Tetsuro.

You and I...

We are woman born under a star.
Destined to travel on a never-
ending journey.

Maetel!

Go ahead, get aboard,
Tetsuro.

Our journeys have no end.

Maetel?

Maetel!

Good-bye, Tetsuro.

I knew that some day...
we would have to part.

I am but a shadow of youth...

a woman who journeys
through time...

who can be seen only by youth.

As long as the name Maetel
remains in your memories...

I'll be fine.

Good-bye... Tetsuro.

That I traveled with you
in your youth...

is something
I shall never forget.

Good-bye, my Tetsuro.

Good-bye.

Maetel!

Time goes by,
and Maetel is gone...

like the days of boyhood...

which never return.

They say that...


which ran in Tetsuro's heart.

Once again, the train blows its
whistle... signaling
a thousand thoughts.

Once again, the train goes on...
carrying a thousand thoughts.

Farewell, Maetel.

Farewell,
Galaxy Express 999.

And so,
the boy becomes a man.
