El-Hazard: The Magnificent World (神秘の世界エルハザード)

It is a dream those who remember.

It is a nostalgic memory of its ancient.

It is a world everybody revered for its mystery and chaos.

It's El-Hazard.

An eternal homeland...

the ground of endless adventure.

As long as you have wings to the infinite space...

even across the breadth of a hundred billion nights...

and the gates of El-Hazard will be open to you.

Hurry up!

All right, break it up.

Hey, kids, get back to class.

Listen up. Don't go down here without permission...

until the investigation's done.

Why not? What do you mean? How come?

Hey, shut up!

Now go on!

Well, where the hell did I put the tape?

Hah! Sensei is drinking again.

He's terrible!

Agh. No. You got it wrong. Now wait.

He smells like a bar.

Wait a minute. It's not what you think.

Going live on air in...

3... 2...

With us at the site is Katsuhiko Jinnai...

who made the amazing discovery right here.

Well...

Yes! Imagine my surprise...

when this student president Katsuhiko Jinnai

found ancient cultural remnants beneath our school.

I feel that it was destiny.

He's a liar. A literature club freshman found it.

Yeah. How dare he say that?

I believe it would be fitting to call this the Jinnai ruin...

in honor of its discoverer.

Uh, well, it's a thought.

Excuse me. I'm from the broadcast club.

President Jinnai, sorry to interrupt...

but I'd like your comments about your alleged dishonest election.

Nanami, how dare you say this to your big brother?

A journalist must be completely objective.

But you're not in the broadcast club!

They paid me 1,000 yen to take this assignment.

So Mr. President...

any comments regarding the growing suspicion...

at this high school of a rigged election?

I am absolutely innocent!

At tomorrow's student government meeting...

Makoto, I mean, Mr. Mizuhara, will be the key witness.

Any concerns about it, president?

Hey you! What are you grinning at?

And you!

That's it!

Hey, wait, brother!

Shut up!

Jinnai's finished now.

I was sick of his fascist politics.

We are counting on you, Makoto.

Y-yeah.

What's wrong?

I feel like a snitch.

But I overheard Ishijima from the baseball club...

and Jinnai talking together.

I wasn't trying to spy on them.

Mr. Ishijima, please wait!

Mr. Ishijima, is there any truth to the allegation...

that you and president Jinnai had a secret agreement...

to increase the baseball's club budget?

Wait, Mr. Ishijima.

Not only the baseball club...

but the soccer club and judo club, too.

He bought their votes using government funds.

I've been suspecting that.

How could such a bastard become president.

With your testimony, we can uncover the truth...

at the student government meeting tomorrow.

I know, but he's still my friend.

Come on, Makoto.

Don't you have any balls?

Yes! Of course!

So then why don't you lend a helping hand for Shinonome High?

S-sure.

Oh, what should I do?

My world is crumbling.

You bastard!

What?

Again.

Makoto Mizuhara, why do you always get in my way?

I am so superior, but...

If you were... If you did not exist...

I'll show you.

You'll realize it's not that easy to defeat me.

"Dear Makoto...

I have something that I must tell you."

I will await you in the forest behind the school...

after the last class. Nanami Jinnai.

It's certainly Nanami's handwriting.

All right. Maybe she likes me...

but it may mean trouble.

Nanami-chan.

Welcome, Makoto Mizuhara.

Jin-Jinnai! What are you doing here?

The letter was certainly...

For just in case, like this...

I snuck into my sister's room...

and stole her rough copies of love letters.

What kind of brother are you?

In fact, I found one to Wada of the music club...

and another to Hayashi of the sci-fi club.

Is that so?

My life-long rival.

Your plot to oust me is over now.

Life-long rival?

Who?

What are you doing?

The only thing to do.

Until tomorrow's student government meeting is over...

I must get you out of my way.

In clause 23 of school bylaws...

if no evidence is brought against me...

my presidency is secure.

This is only high school. You can't do such an act.

Limited for my purpose, but it will suffice.

Mizuhara!

Fugisawa-sensei.

Oh, it's you, Namami.

What are you doing this hour?

You're working the night shift...

so I made you some dinner, and I brought it over.

Oh, thanks.

Wow, this look really great.

Not bad.

Please have some tea.

Oh, I feel very lucky to have a student like you.

The food is 800 yen, the tea is 200 yen.

You mean you're charging me?

This is my main part-time job.

You can't get away from me!

I won't let you run me out of office...

just so you can take my place.

What are you talking about?

You're always getting in my way.

All right.

If it's destiny, I'll fight your one-upsmanship...

and the final victory will be mine!

This is crazy.

Oh, no.

Now calm down, Jinnai.

Don't worry.

I'm calm enough, see?

What?

Hey... hello. What's happened?

Jinnai, you are so skillful.

What's this?

Hey, Jinnai. Hey, are you dead?

Hey, Jinnai. Jinnai.

Hey, Jinnai, say something.

Who? Who is this?

This way. This way, huh?

This place is...

All right. That one?

Wh-what?

Makoto, at long last we meet, finally.

I've been wanting to meet you, Makoto.

It's been 10,000 years, 10,000 years, Makoto.

So I've have been awaiting this moment 10,000 years.

Wh-who are you?

I had a dream.

Through the endless nights, I dreamt only of you.

There is no time.

My powers have grown weak with the passage of 10,000 years.

With all my remaining strength, I shall send you to El-Hazard.

El-Hazard?

W-wait a minute.

Please tell me what's going on.

I leave it all on you, Makoto.

When you reach that nostalgic world, say hello to me.

Where is this?

What's this all about?

What the hell is going on?

Fujisawa-sensei.

Sensei.

Oh, Makoto.

What's going on?

I don't really know.

How did you get here, sensei?

I don't know.

One minute I was eating, then suddenly I was here.

But I got to get back to school anyway.

I'm working nights. I can't leave the campus open.

Sensei, something seems out of place around here.

This might not be Japan, or even Earth.

Why are you talking such nonsense?

You must've been influenced by Hayashi of the sci-fi club.

Well, let's get back to school.

But do you know which way we would go?

Sure, I do.

Hmm...

Well, we'll just ask the next person who comes along.
