Professor Segawa of the Terrestrial Defense International Committee

and leading astrobiologist Professor Maeno are part of the main staff

at this Terrestrial Defense Force base's secret factory.

A terrifyingly destructive weapon it was building was nearing completion.

It is a planetary attack super weapon called R1.

Wow. That's incredible.

They said it has the power of 8,000 of the latest hydrogen bombs.

Plus it's only experimental.

Amazing. Right, Dan?

They'll launch it in just 48 hours.

Launch it? From this base?

That's right.

Dan, this perfects Earth's defenses.

Any planet that tries to invade

will be blown to bits with one button.

All we need to do is put a finger on it and wait for someone to try to invade.

Better than that, we should announce that Earth has a super weapon.

I see. Then they won't invade anymore.

Even if you don't use it, just having a super weapon can maintain peace.

Right, Dan?

What's wrong, Dan?

Furuhashi.

What?

Is any act acceptable, if it means protecting Earth?

What?

Answer me!

Fine.

Hey, Dan! Where are you going?

To ask the Staff Officer to stop the test.

Fool! Don't do that!

Let go of me!

Just get in here!

What's wrong, Dan?

Did something happen?

Nothing.

Don't forget, Dan. Earth is being targeted.

An invader that we aren't strong enough to deal with is sure to show up.

We need this.

We need a super weapon?

Of course we do.

To fight this, invaders will build even more destructive weapons!

It'll be fine if we make weapons that are even more powerful.

That's a sad marathon that you keep running

as you cough up blood.

We don't know what kind of interference could come from space for the R1 test.

Be very vigilant.

Sir.

It's almost time.

Right. You should celebrate.

If this is successful, we'll start building R2 right away.

Captain Kiriyama, don't be shocked.

R2 has more than ten times the explosive power of R1.

What? Earth would...

Would be blown away twice over.

Earth is safe now. Absolutely.

And... Where will this be tested upon?

We've chosen Planet Gyeron.

What? Planet Gyeron?

Yes. It's Planet No.7 of constellation Chal.

Testing it on that planet means there will be no effect on Earth.

Plus there is no life on it.

Have you confirmed there is no life there?

Yes. It's all right.

We spent six months selecting a testing ground.

Letting invaders from space know

that we have realized a super weapon is one of the purposes of this test.

If the experiment is a success,

then Planet Gyeron will disappear from space.

Cosmic magnetic field vibration observed.

Success. Big success! Success!

With a great burst of flame, Planet Gyeron was completely destroyed!

We did it!

Staff Officer.

Right. That destructive power is hard to believe.

Now if we complete R2, Earth's defense is perfect.

This is Space Observation Craft 8.

We have detected a blip on our radar that appears to be a piece of Planet Gyeron.

Dan!

Where are you going?

It's time for my space patrol.

That's a sad marathon that you keep running

as you cough up blood.

This is Space Observation Craft 8!

Emergency information!

Planet Gyeron. Planet Gyeron is attacking...

Observation craft 8!

What's the matter?

We lost contact with observation craft 8.

—A malfunction? —No.

Hey, play the tape back again.

This is Space Observation Craft 8!

Emergency information!

Planet Gyeron. Planet Gyeron is attacking...

Attacking? That's what he said, right?

Right.

Something that ridiculous couldn't happen.

There is no life on Planet Gyeron.

Captain, we've detected a strange object.

What is it? This thing isn't an ordinary spacecraft.

Heading?

Straight toward Earth from where Planet Gyeron was.

Hawk 1! This is the strategy room! Respond! Respond!

This is Hawk 1.

There's a flying object

heading straight to Earth from where Planet Gyeron was.

Investigate.

Understood. Investigating.

What is it? That flying object.

I should have done whatever it took to obstruct the R1 experiment.

For my love of Earth, I should've stood up against the claim it would protect Earth.

Only I could have done that.

Dan.

Dan!

Huh? Oh, What is it?

What's the matter? What are you brooding over?

Well...
