00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:17Today's topic is Galaxy Express 3-9.
00:21Even though his mother was killed by a robot, he heads for the final planet where he can get a robot body for free.
00:31Galaxy Express 3-9 is a story about a boy who travels through space with a mysterious beauty on the Galaxy Express 3-9.
00:42Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:45Galaxy Express 3-9 is based on the original work by Reiji Matsumoto, who is also the creator of Captain Harlock.
00:54A total of 113 episodes aired between 1978 and 1981.
01:03The story begins with a space railway network being developed, allowing people to travel freely to their destinations.
01:10It begins on Earth in the year 2221 AD.
01:14The Earth was divided into a megalopolis where the wealthy robots lived, and a slum where the poor lived.
01:24One snowy night, a mother and child arrive from afar on the outskirts of town.
01:30The two talk about their dream of one day riding the 3-9 and gaining mechanical bodies, but suddenly the Mechanical Count and his men start shooting at the father and son.
01:42The two try to escape, but are soon caught up and the mother is shot.
01:49As the pursuers closed in, the mother urged her child to run away and died.
01:55Later, when the Machine Count saw his mother's body and was so impressed by its beauty that he decided to make it into a white figurines, the child, Tetsurou, the maintenance worker,
02:06He vows to avenge the death of his mother.
02:10However, after walking through the snowstorm-strewn wilderness for a while, Tetsurou collapses from hunger and exhaustion and loses consciousness.When he wakes up, he finds a strange woman nursing him.
02:24The woman introduces herself as Maetel and explains that she helped Tetsurou after accidentally hearing his final conversation with his mother on a recording device.
02:36Tetsurou then tells him his dream of saving up money, riding the 3-9 one day, and getting a mechanical body for free.
02:45Maetel promises to give them a pass to 3-9 on the condition that they travel with her.
02:54Tetsurou is overjoyed to hear this story, but then he hears the voice of the Mechanical Count rehearsing a miniature human hunt from the recording device.
03:03Hearing this voice, Tetsurou declares that before boarding 3-9, he will defeat the Machine Count, his mother's enemy, and heads alone to the Machine Count's mansion.
03:16Afterwards, they destroy Yaina who has entered the mansion and the Mechanical Count who is chatting with his friends with a gun, set the place on fire and escape, while police vehicles and a robot dog try to capture Tetsurou.
03:29At that moment, Maetel appears, rescues Tetsurou, and heads to the station where 3-9 is departing.
03:37As passenger car 3-9 slowly departs, overlooking the modern megalopolis and slums, Tetsuro is there saying goodbye to his late mother and thinking about the journey that is about to begin.
03:52Now, let me introduce the characters.
04:00Hoshino Tetsuro is the protagonist of this work, a boy who dreams of obtaining a mechanical body and living forever, as he promised his mother.
04:09Due to his strong sense of justice and curiosity, he has been caught up in tragic incidents on several planets he has visited.
04:19He is also the type of person who tends to act first rather than think things through, which is why he is the owner of the warrior's gun, the Cosmo Dragoon.
04:33He has a strong dislike for baths and haircuts, and there is a scene in the play where he gets scolded by Maetel.
04:40Maetel is a mysterious woman who travels with Tetsurou, and is sometimes seen as a fearsome presence on some of the planets where the train stops.
04:54She is a calm adult, or perhaps an intelligent and quiet woman, but there are also scenes where she punishes those who behave arrogantly and tyrannically with a ring that has beam functions or an electric whip.
05:09He also receives some kind of instructions or advice from the pendant he is wearing, and the mystery behind this is solved towards the end of the story.
05:20While the conductor is a serious person responsible for maintaining order and rules regarding the Three-Nine and ensuring safe operation, there are also many scenes in which he deviates from the rules for the sake of Tetsurou and Maetel and struggles with himself in some episodes.
05:39He wears a conductor's hat and uniform, but his eyes are the only thing that glows, giving him a mysterious appearance and an unknown inner self.
05:48Tetsurou's mother, whose real name is Kanae Hoshino, has been raising Tetsurou alone since her husband went missing while working away from home.
05:59He is killed during the Machine Count's human hunt, but continues to appear on the Iron Tower floors afterwards.
06:05Claire is a crystal glass robot who works as a waitress at Three Nine in order to buy back her flesh and blood.
06:17In the film, the robot demonstrated its ability to make its body glow, but what was particularly impressive was the conductor's decision to dispose of the pieces outside the train as per regulations after his body was shattered and he died while trying to save Tetsurou from the enemy.
06:32In the first episode, the Mechanical Count attacks Tetsurou and his son, killing Tetsurou's mother in order to secure victory, but Tetsurou retaliates and reduces her to ashes along with the mansion.
06:47In the TV version, he only appeared in one episode, but in the movie version, he became one of the main characters and the master of time.
06:56Antares is the train robber who attacked Three-Nine, and he is carrying an unexploded energy bomb in his body, which could explode at any moment.
07:11Despite his appearance, he became a kind father figure, raising war orphans and others, while also teaching Tetsurou the extreme rules for surviving in space.
07:21Shadow is a robot who serves as Pluto's tombstone, but since he acquired his mechanical body, he has been haunted by memories of his beautiful appearance when he was human, which has left him with a blank face.
07:38Torn between the beautiful appearance of a human and the eternal life of a machine, she tries to steal Tetsurou's soul, which is necessary to return to a living body, but fails.
07:51Luz is a robot who lives in a house at the bottom of gravity. After derailing a Galaxy Railroad train, he uses his time-manipulating ability to advance the time inside the train, turning the passengers into bones.
08:06Feeling lonely, he asks Tetsurou to live with him on the condition that he has a mechanical body, but he is refused.
08:13Lelouch is a mechanical woman who is Ryuzu's older sister and has the ability to time travel, allowing her to travel through the flow of time.
08:25Although he took Tetsurou to Time Castle, in the end he advanced the time in Time Castle and shared the castle's fate.
08:32Promethium is Maetel's mother, the founder of the Machine Empire, and the queen who rules the world of machines.
08:44He is a fanatical believer in machines and looks down on flesh-and-blood humans, calling Tetsurou a fool.
08:52After encountering various difficulties while he was human, he came to believe that his mechanical body was the solution to all these difficulties, and he developed the ambition to spread the mechanized world throughout the universe.
09:08Dr. Ban is a brilliant scientist, the husband of Promethium, and the father of Maetel.
09:15It is known that he became an opponent of the mechanization policy that Promethium was promoting, and as the conflict of opinion intensified, he left the planet alone.
09:27The No. 3-9 that Tetsurou and Maetel ride is a super express train on the Galaxy Railroad that connects Earth and Andromeda, but its appearance, unlike its running capabilities, is modeled after the C62 steam locomotive.
09:46However, contrary to its appearance, the traction locomotive is equipped with state-of-the-art computers and mechanical equipment with artificial intelligence.
09:57The train is available in three different classes: special, first, and second class. Compared to the modernized special and first class cars, the second class car in which Tetsurou and Maetel ride is equipped with four-seater box seats that are full of retro charm.
10:16There also appear to be sleeping cars, but the passengers usually sleep wrapped in blankets.
10:23In addition, the dining car serves all kinds of dishes, from ramen to steak, by processing the resources transferred to the cooker at a molecular level, and the cost of the meals appears to be included in the price of the pass.
10:39Other carriages provided libraries and first aid stations, and in the event of an attack by a foreign enemy, Galaxy Railways would arm the No. 39 by sending in a combat vehicle equipped with a triple turret.
10:56In addition to No. 39, there are eight other express trains in operation, from No. 31 to No. 38, all of which have three consecutive numbers.
11:10In addition, many railway-related events were held in conjunction with the broadcast of this film and the release of the theatrical version.
11:20Among these was the Galaxy Express No. 39, which was operated in 1979 as a mystery train with a capacity of 999 passengers and an unknown destination, and in 1997, the Oigawa Railway operated an overnight steam locomotive train reminiscent of the No. 39.
11:43Since then, Hokkaido Regional Highland Railway and other lines have continued to operate trains with Galaxy Railway wrapping, offering commemorative tickets and holding events.
11:58Now, finally, it's the final episode.
12:02The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 112.
12:07The 39th arrives at its terminus, the planet Promethium, which is bordered by a black hole.
12:18Train finally arrives at the planet where he promised his mother that he would get a mechanical body for free, but Train is still undecided about whether to have a flesh body or a mechanical body.
12:31When they arrive at the station, Mirai, the mechanical guide, comes to greet them and explains the rules that determine whether they will become mechanical within 24 hours of their arrival.
12:46After hearing the explanation, Maetel tells him to make the decision alone and goes off on her own, while Tetsudo visits the mechanical city with Mirai.
12:57However, after gaining eternal life, the Railroad witnesses the robots becoming corrupt, lamenting their boring lives, and committing suicide, and he begins to question whether he should ever have a mechanical body.
13:15Meanwhile, Maetel reports her return to her mother, Promethium, and also tells her that it was a heartbreaking journey in which she had to deceive herself.
13:27Furthermore, when Maetel shows Promethium the pendant of her father, Dr. Ban, who had betrayed her and gone missing, Promethium laughs in derision at her foolishness.
13:43After reporting to Promethium, Maetel meets up with Railroad, who not only knows that she is Promethium's daughter, but also has heard from the future that the purpose of Maetel's journey is to search for potential machine parts that will support the Machine Empire.
14:03Also, after understanding the tragic reality of the Mechanics and the preciousness of life, Railroad refuses to become a Mechanic, but is considered a rebel who has defied the orders of Queen Promethium and is arrested.
14:21He is also told that for treason, he and No. 39 will be sent into a black hole and erased forever.
14:30Meanwhile, Maetel, as instructed by the pendant's father, goes to the center of the planet and throws the pendant, attempting to destroy the planet.
14:42However, he was unable to do so and was captured by the Queen and imprisoned on the river.
14:48Meanwhile, No. 39, carrying the train, departs under a false special order issued by Promethium, but once in space, it is pulled towards the black hole by a guidance beam.
15:04Upon learning this, Maetel escapes from the surface of the river, breaks into the control room for the guidance beam, and disables it.
15:14After that, Railroad returns to the Machine Empire, but is unable to get Railroad to choose a mechanical body, and fails his mission.He then sees a future in which he attempts suicide, so Railroad tries to persuade him not to commit suicide, and Maetel appears.
15:34When Maetel explains that the pendant is needed to destroy the planet, Mirai dies, steals the pendant from Promethium, and gives it to Railroad, but dies from the gunshot wound he sustained in the process.
15:52Maetel endures her grief and heads to the center of the planet, ready to throw the pendant, but Promethium appears and tries to take the pendant back from Maetel.
16:06As the two struggle, a shot from the Railway Warrior's gun causes the pendant to fall into the center of the planet.
16:14Suddenly, something strange happens on the planet, and explosions begin all over the place. Promethium is caught up in the explosions, letting out a cry between the barrages of bullets, and is instantly annihilated.
16:29Furthermore, as the explosion spreads to the entire planet, Railroad and Maetel jump onto No. 3-9 and manage to escape the collapsing planet, but Maetel, who has lost her beloved father and mother, breaks down in tears.
16:46The scene changes, and they arrive safely at the station on Planet Bat, where the train has been repaired and is on its way back to their home, Earth.
17:01Seeing the hopeful sight of the train, Maetel feels relieved and suddenly kisses it, telling it to wait for her at No. 3-9.
17:11After being kissed, Tetsudo returns to his seat, not understanding what has happened, and discovers a farewell letter from Maetel.
17:22The train is surprised, but when he looks out onto the platform, he sees Maetel and the boy on another train parked on the other side.
17:32Then, the whistle blows and the two trains slowly depart at the same time, heading in different directions to their destinations. Train and Maetel look at each other with tears in their eyes, but the program ends with Train saying goodbye with a smile.
17:55Now, let's take a look at the journey of the train and Maetel.

21:47What did you think?
22:01When the series was first aired, Maetel suggested that if Tetsurou were to give up his mechanical body, they could live together on a planet somewhere, and I remember feeling an indescribable emotion when I saw Tetsurou refuse.
22:17How would you all answer?
22:21That's all for now. See you next time. Bye.
