Shine! Tears of Suffering
The planet Solblue used to be a shining blue planet. Now, with its Galaxy Energy weakened, it is surrounded by a space junk nebula. The crew rescues a dying young man who was adrift on the planet, but he dies before receiving medical attention. When the Queen Cosmos stops by a city where an annual festival is being held, the crew is told by the king that he is satisfied with the current state of the planet and asks Princess Aurora not to restore the Galaxy Energy there. Kugo becomes suspicious of the attitude of the tearful people and begins to secretly investigate.

Translation Thoughts
In this episode, Kugo fights again with Geminga, the monster that was split in half in episode 3 (67/73) and one of the halves survived and escaped.
Now that I think about it, “Geminger” would’ve been a better English name for him, like they romanized MAJINGAA ZETTO (Mazinger Z), another popular show from the 70s.
At 1:54, Professor Kitty says:
ところがギャラクシーエネルギーが届かないため宇宙のゴミが集まって大きなガス状の塊になったのです
Tokoro ga GYARAKUSHII ENERUGII ga todokanai tame uchuu no gomi ga atsumatte oukina GASU-jou no katamari ni natta no desu
However, because the galaxy’s energy doesn’t reach there, space junk has gathered into a big gaseous mass.
The phrase 宇宙のゴミが uchuu no gomi means cosmic debris, space junk, or space garbage. Professor Kitty says that it formed a ガス状の塊 GASU-jou no katamari, which means a gaseous mass. I used “space junk nebula” instead of “gaseous mass of cosmic debris”. I’m not sure if it’s 100% the same thing, but it’s shorter. I think the audience will get the idea anyway.
I wonder if this episode is a knock on communism, since the elder, who represents the government, says that they are happy now that everyone is equally poor, but the reality is that people are miserable, and they were a lot happier before the space junk gathered. Since I was born in a capitalist country that later became a communist one, I can relate.
At 12:01, Geminga says:
分子合成によるモンタージュでオーロラを騙した
Bunshi gousei ni yoru MONTAAJU de OURORA o damashita
I’ve fooled Aurora using a molecular synthesis montage
I’m not sure what he means, but that’s exactly what he says. I really love when sci-fi shows just make up some technical words to make people awestruck.
Why would Kugo’s clone be affected by the sleeping poison?
Excellent – only 2 more remain. Many thanks for your valuable service 🙂
Hoping we can finish this within the next month!!!
Good episode, slowly giving the princess a bigger and bigger role in the fights! The villains are getting more and more human and they are a lot more trouble than when they were really just monsters, I like that! This time he could just lie in the name of the people and make a case for sparing him from the galaxy energy, clever! Thank you for another translation!
omg finly find samone that have translate to engsub rly nice work but a have one question whare are eps 1-16 can not find them?
I guess you can try Nyaa.si for 1-16
prof. Kitty, help! We brought democracy, I mean, energy, but they are not having it. And, at the same time, we intercepted an (literally) illegal alien who seemed to want all the freedom, I mean energy, we could give.
It was also finally Kugo’s turn to cup a feel. It made the princess turn into Jogo, for some reason (see 15:50)
Although I can’t imagine prof Kitty ever suggesting something that would have put the princess life in danger in order to save 2 guys that could be replaced, I do not think Kugo missing the target and almost blowing the princess to smithereens was what prof Kitty was afraid that could happen. FFS Kugo, could you please get a little bit closer to that tube before firing?
And finally, yay Hakka. Finally got his turn and dove face-first into the prize.
PS:
START OF POLITICAL RANT – you should probably ignore everything from this point on
you think you can relate? At least people from your country didn’t know what they were getting into. The country where I was born is right beside yours, we watched in all happen and, despite all that, the taxpayers sat still while the Supreme Court allowed a doubly convicted criminal to be a candidate. Their reasoning? The color of the walls of the room where the criminal was judged was white. It should have been beige. Really!!!
But instead of immediately trying the guy again, they waited until he was elected (by buying votes under the guise of welfare programs and other populist stupidity) and now that he is elected, well, we can’t judge the president of the country, can we? So let’s just focus on persecuting the opposition. And that is the only thing the Supreme Court has been doing the past few years. All crimes committed by the elected criminal who, legally, couldn’t even have been a candidate in the first place, are ignored. Anything the opposition does is either censored, declared an attempt to destroy democracy, a coup, etc etc.
But what really bothers me, and it bothers me much more than the criminal organization that took control of the country is the fact that the 2/3 of the voters who did not vote for the criminal are the ones paying the bill. And they know it. And they do nothing about it. And, before anyone asks, yes, the criminal was “democratically” elected with 1/3 of the votes.
End of political rant.
