Macross Delta (マクロスΔ（デルタ）)

The wind today is even more fierce than usual.

Lord Roid.

What is it?

Mr. Berger from the Epsilon Foundation has arrived.

I see.

Amplify the power of the song of the wind?

Yes. With the recent adjustments, we believe it is possible.

Consider it an apology for falling so behind on analyzing the Protoculture's systems.

But using something like that would put a greater burden on His Highness' body!

That is fine.

The analysis of Sigur Valens' capabilities is 45% done.

Your patience shall be soon rewarded.

Fine. The wind shall blow.

Gimme two of those!

Sure thing! That'll be three thousand!

What a cutie patootie!

The Ragnyannyan special: jellyfish buns!

Grab one now for our once-a-year sale price!

Cheap as fire!

Delicious as bomber!

You can't find buns like these anywhere else!

Freyja, you're the cutest!

Give me some of those jellyfish buns!

Yay!

This jellyfish festival thing...

It's to honor of the Ragnan god of the sea.

That part I get.

This is also part of our mission.

We are to take part in the planet's cultural events

and promote friendly relations with the locals.

That's fine, too.

I'm just wondering why there are so many couples out.

That's 'cause the jellyfish festival is an event for lovers.

Legend goes if a couple confess their love under the jellyfish on this night,

they'll be forever bound together.

Under the jellyfish?

You'll see.

Tonight, everyone's wearing matching underwear.

M-Match...

Rei-Rei, there are some things a lady shouldn't say.

Ain't no rule gonna keep this girl down!

Lovers...

Forever...

Haya-Haya.

Do you know if Mesa-Mesa's coming tonight?

I doubt it.

But he's leaving tomorrow...

He got reassigned to... the Aramis system, was it?

There hasn't been any Var outbreaks there so far, so one less thing to worry about.

I bet he's gonna complain it's too easy.

True that.

They're not managing their reflex engine well enough.

That's the Alpha Platoon. I'll leave them a note.

Is it okay for me to stay alive?

That's all that's been on my mind lately.

Why...

My apologies.

I couldn't finish training the Delta Platoon before leaving.

Don't worry about it.

Jellyfish babies quickly learn to swim even without their parents.

Messer!

I see. Packing?

We'll all go to see you off tomorrow.

There's no need.

What?!

The Reaper himself?

Likes Kaname?!

Isn't the only song he has on that bracelet Kana-Kana's?

It's because he owes her his life...

No way. This is the Reaper we're talking about!

But Kaname's into Arad.

What the hell?! She's gotta turn into a cuttlefish first!

You three are so dense.

You can't sing about love like this.

Does Captain Arad know about it?

What about First Lt. Messer?

Who knows if he realized?

Such a drag. If she likes him, she should just say so.

And this is why I'm entrusting you with this critical mission, Haya-Haya!

What?

I didn't expect you to actually come.

You won't be my subordinates anymore.

So what?

That's all.

You manage to kill the buzz even on your last night out.

Can you keep this up without Messer?

Does it make a difference if I say no?

You're quick on the uptake.

What about the ruins?

So far, they're saying it's just a regular pile of rocks.

The research is still ongoing, though.

They're after the ruins.

I'm positive they came to this planet for reconnaissance.

Their attacks on places without ruins were just attempts at misdirection.

Lady M ordered us to bolster the defenses on Ragna and Al Shahal.

Those are the only two planets left that have ruins on them.

Al Shahal...

Hayate and Freyja were both there.

Looks like fate bound Windermere and Hayate Immelmann together.

Same goes for us.

Ragnans sure are a cheerful bunch.

You'd never guess there was an enemy attack just a few days ago.

We're not gonna let a war or two get in the way of our fun.

Look! Walküre!

Freyja's there, too!

Love your songs, Freyja!

Thanksies! Thanksies very muchies!

Good luck!

Sure thing!

Fre-Fre's got a lot more fans now

and fewer people calling her a spy.

She's having her break out.

So the wind's picked up your career.

Oh, you!

I hope the wind helps out those two as well.

So you're gonna be a training officer in your new position?

Yes.

They're letting me take my plane with me.

I doubt I'll ever get to fly in combat again, though.

Why did you get me to call him over?

You're trying to hook him up with Kaname?

Not really.

I mean, it'd be an interesting outcome,

but I just wanted him to have some happy memories with her.

No one knows what tomorrow holds for us.

That's why we should enjoy the present as much as possible.

Carpe diem, huh?

What's going on?

It's starting.

Awesome deculture!

I see. That's what you meant by "under the jellyfish."

Once a year, on every first new moon of September,

the jellyfish come to the surface to lay their eggs.

It's one of the mysteries of life.

They're green... yellow...

No, the color of life!

If I could live a long life but not be able to sing to my heart's content...

Yeah, if they told me I couldn't fly to my heart's content anymore...

To my heart's...

He's not the type to be happy being a training officer.

What a sight! Right, Messer?

Kaname.

What's that?

Axia.

This song?

I owe my life to this song.

Two years ago, your song saved me when I was on the verge of losing myself.

Thanks to your song, I got to live.

Messer...

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Lord Roid?

Lord Roid, what are you doing?

His Highness needs to rest.

Keith...

It's been a while.

Have you ever won?

That was the past, not the present.

Amazing.

He can match the White Knight in a sword fight?

Do you intend to oppose His Majesty?

His Highness' life is on the line here.

Shall a tragedy befall him, the great wind may take my life as well.

Once we've won this war.

Fold your wings.
