SF Saiyuki Starzinger II – Episode 3 (67/73)

Cruelty! Tearful Slave Planet

Kugo and his friends continue their journey to the third planet, Amul. However, the planet Amul has already been ruled by the Golgore monster Geminga, and the people whose minds have been manipulated hate each other and were forced to fight each other to the death, no matter who their opponents are. When Kugo sees the two soldiers fighting, he puts them both to sleep with an anesthetic ray to stop the fighting and brings them back to the Cosmos. When Kugo is told by the Princess that the two men are father and son, he tries to stop the futile fighting.

Translation Thoughts

The father and son have confusing names. The father’s name is Brada and the son is called Brado, as Princess Aurora tells Kugo at 18:06:

あのブラダとブラドは親子なんです
Ano BURADA to BURADO wa oyako nan desu
Brada and Brado are father and son

親子 oyako means “parent and child”.

I think this is the first time that Kugo uses ウルトラ分身 URUTORA bunshin “Ultra Clone”, creating a lot of clones of himself at the same time.

At 5:33 Brada says:

まだ若いは青二才名
Mada wakai wa aonisai-mei
You’re still young, greenhorn

The word 青二才 aoinisai means “greenhorn” or someone who is still inexperienced or immature.

  1. I really liked this episode! It doesn’t really do anything the show hasn’t done up to now, just I feel the characters, the father and son, are better presented, and the duplicitous monster fits the theme very well. Thanks for the subs as always and enjoy the holidays!

  2. the old man was going stright for the eye! Yes!!!

    Anyway, so far, this was the most unbelievable episode of them all. 4 humans unable to accept the fact that inhabitants from the same planet are fighting each other? You are humans! It is all you’ve been doing during the last 6000 years of recorded history!!!

    But nooo, no inhabitant from a planet would ever fight another inhabitant from the same planet. That is inconcevable. It has got to be the work of some monster’s magical powers.

    PS: it was…

    PS 2: did they really keep the two guys who were trying to kill each other in
    the same room, totally unrestrained?

    PS 3: 100 bucks says the creators were going for “Brother” with that “Brado”
    name.

    PS 4: Ultra Clone? Straight from the book!

    PS 5: Jogo fired first. Pre-edit Han Solo approves.

    PS 6: you call that a kill? Where is the brutality? Where is the gore?
