She has strange empathy with the insects of the Fukai [LT=Spoiled Sea, Rotten Sea; ET=fungus forest], especially Ohmu. JHIL The chieftain of the Valley of the Wind; Nausicaa's father. MITO Steward of the Castle [LT: Castle Uncle (a title)]; Nausicaa's adviser/watcher. YUPA Nausicaa's teacher. One of the most renowned swordsman in the region. GRANDMOTHER Eldest wise woman of the castle. [LT: Grand Elderwoman] ASBEL Rastel's twin brother. Surviving rebel from Pejite. KUSHANA Imperial Princess of Torumekia. Fourth in line to the throne. KUROTOWA Kushana's Chief of Staff [ET: Advisor]; of common blood. OHMU Guardians of the Fukai, lords of the insects. [Note: "Ohmu" is literally, "King (or Lord) Insect". In this script "Ohmu" is both singular and plural term] -------------------------------------------------------------------- (A man walks into a ghost town overrun with fungus) YUPA Another village has died... YUPA Let's go... This place, too, will soon sink into the Fukai. -------------------------------- INSET 1000 years after the collapse of a giant industrial civilization, rust and ceramic fragments covered the land. Over this wasteland, a deadly forest of fungi that released poisonous vapors (miasmas), which came to be called the "Fukai" (Spoiled Sea), spread and was threatening the very existence of the declining human race. Title: Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind) ---------------------------- (Nausicaa is flying over the wasteland on her glider, Mehve. She lands at the edge of Fukai and enters the forest) NAUSICAA A path of an Ohmu... It's still fresh... (She follows the track) NAUSICAA A cast-off skin [ALT: shell; exuviae] of an Ohmu... How magnificent...! This is the first time I've ever seen a perfectly shed skin. (She taps the shell with her ceramic sword) NAUSICAA Good sound... (She strikes the shell; the sword does not causes any significant cut) NAUSICAA The ceramic sword got chipped. The Valley people will be happy. They wouldn't have to worry about materials to make tools out of for quite some time. NAUSICAA An amazing eye... Maybe I can fly back with this one... She frees the eye covering) NAUSICAA Ah, got it! How light <it is>! (Spores are falling in snow-like fashion) NAUSICAA The mushibayashi [a plant name] is spreading its afternoon spores. How beautiful... <even> though this place is a forest of death where, if not for this mask, my lungs would decay in five minutes. [pause] ...!! Who is it?! [pause] What can it be? My heart is pounding. (She hears blast of guns) NAUSICAA It's an insect gun! Someone is being attacked by the insects. (She runs to find a better vantage point) NAUSICAA Oh! Sorry! NAUSICAA What a smoke of spores... Ohmu!! It must be the owner of that shed skin. (Observing the path of the Ohmu, and hence the path of the human,) NAUSICAA You mustn't go [LT: escape] that way! (She fires a signal flare) NAUSICAA Please, see the signal! He answered! He's coming this way! (She takes to the air aboard Mehve, and soon finds a rider fleeing from the forest) NAUSICAA That's...! (A huge Ohmu crashes out from the forest in pursuit of the man) NAUSICAA What a splendid Ohmu... (to Yupa) To the windward side! YUPA Thanks! [LT: Sorry] NAUSICAA Ohmu! Go back to the forest. This side isn't your world. See? ["Ne?": expression used in soliciting an agreement] Be a good child. [pause] He's forgotten himself with anger. I must calm him. (Nausicaa drops flare bombs) YUPA The Ohmu has lost consciousness from the flare! (Nausicaa circles the Ohmu, holding a strange noisemaker) YUPA An insect-whistle... NAUSICAA Ohmu, open your eyes... Let's go back to the forest. It's awake! YUPA The Ohmu is going back to the forest... With only flare bombs and a insect-whistle, she managed to calm the Ohmu... -------------------------------- (Hill top; Nausicaa lands and runs to Yupa) NAUSICAA Master Yupa! YUPA Nausicaa, you've grown! [LT: you've visually changed; I've mistook you for another] NAUSICAA It has been a year and a half! Father will be delighted. YUPA I must thank you. You've become a fine wind-user. NAUSICAA No, Father says not yet. (Nausicaa notices something in Yupa's belt pouch) YUPA Oh, yes... I completely forgot about this fellow. NAUSICAA My! A fox-squirrel. YUPA This fellow was kidnapped by a bird-louse. I mistook him for a human baby and I ended up using my gun. NAUSICAA So that's why the Ohmu was so angry. YUPA It seems he didn't inhale the poison because he was unconscious. No, you shouldn't put out your hand like that. He's small, but still ferocious. NAUSICAA Come... YUPA Hey! NAUSICAA There's nothing to fear. There's nothing to fear. (The fox- squirrel bites Nausicaa) NAUSICAA ...!! There's nothing to fear. See? ["Ne?"] (After a while, fox- squirrel releases Nausicaa's finger) NAUSICAA You were only scared, weren't you? Master Yupa, won't you give him to me? YUPA Ah... I won't mind, but... NAUSICAA Waa! [expression indicating excitement] Thank you! (She runs to the riding beasts) NAUSICAA Kai and Kui. Do you remember me? YUPA Such a mysterious power... [The word is "Fushigi" and encompasses nuances of words like mysterious, strange, wonderful, and mystical. Just plain "mysterious" does not explain the word "fushigi" well] NAUSICAA <Are you guys> tired? You've ran a lot! YUPA Is everyone the same? [LT: There's no change in everyone?] (Notices Nausicaa's mood change) What's the matter...? NAUSICAA It's Father! Father cannot fly any more... YUPA Jhil...? The forest's poison...? NAUSICAA Yes... It is the destiny of all who live near the Fukai, or so I'm told. YUPA I should have visited earlier. NAUSICAA No... It was really good of you to come... Teacher! Later, I want you to look at something. My secret room! Don't tell anyone lest they be frightened. YUPA Oho... NAUSICAA I'll go on ahead to tell <everyone> you are here. You hurry, too. (Brandishing her find,) NAUSICAA Master Yupa!! Would you please carry this for me? The air currents get disrupted so I can't fly well <with it>. YUPA My, she reads [ALT: understands] the wind well. Come, just a little further. -------------------------------- (Later, in the Valley of the Wind) GOLL Master Yupa! OLD UNCLE Welcome! YUPA Is everyone well? GOLL Both water and wind are calm, without an incident. CHILD Master Yupa! YUPA Ah, is everyone well? GUARD Master Yupa. VILLAGER It's Master Yupa. VILLAGER We've been waiting for you, Master Yupa. VILLAGER Welcome back. (Nausicaa is repairing a windmill blade) MITO Princess! He's arrived! NAUSICAA Just a second. MITO Master Yupa!! YUPA Uncle Mito! Working hard, I see. MITO Tell us some more of those foreign stories tonight! NAUSICAA Ok. Turn it. MITO It looks good. NAUSICAA Yes. (On the ground, people are admiring the Ohmu's eye case) GOLL Oh, it's a really good one. We must set out first thing tomorrow to get it. NAUSICAA Okay, Toeto? TOETO Yes. NAUSICAA Master Yupa, this is Toeto's child that was born this year. YUPA Oh, let me see. She's a fine girl. Reminds me of Nausicaa when she was young. TOETO Would you please be this child's godfather? OLD WOMAN So that a good wind will always blow for her... YUPA I accept. I'll give her a good name. TOETO Thank you. May she grow as healthy as the Princess... MITO Hm! If we're talking about health, the Princess is famous for it. But it would be a problem if the child comes to imitate the Princess's Fukai playing as well. NAUSICAA But thanks to that <playing>, I found the shell of the Ohmu. MITO Well, put yourself in my shoes as the Steward. I can't sleep easily [ALT: peacefully] at night from worry. GOLL If we're talking about Ohmu's shells, we can't quite say that the Princess's Fukai playing is all for nothing. YUPA That's true. I was rescued, too, wasn't I? -------------------------------- (Jhil's room in the castle) JHIL Saved by this child...? YUPA This valley is good... Whenever I come here, my heart is consoled [ALT: soothed]. JHIL How were your travels this time? YUPA It's terrible. In the South, two more countries have been swallowed by the Fukai. The Fukai is steadily expanding. But wherever I go, there's only hunger and warfare. Just ominous shadows. Why can't they live like this valley? GRNDMOTHR It's because here we are protected by the Lord Wind [ALT: blessed wind] that blows from the sea. The poisons from the forest cannot reach this valley. JHIL How about it, Yupa. Why don't you settle in this valley soon? I'm in this condition... Everyone would be happy... GRNDMOTHR That's impossible. Yupa is a man destined to continue his search. YUPA Destiny, you say...? NAUSICAA Grandmother, what do you mean by "search"? GRNDMOTHR My my... You didn't know, Nausicaa? There - It's that tapestry on the wall. I can't see it any more, but it's the lord on the left corner. "That one, wearing a robe of blue, shall descend onto a golden field. To forge once again the lost bond with the land." NAUSICAA "And lead everyone, at last, to a land of blue purity..." Master Yupa, I thought that it was only an old legend [ALT: ancient lore] YUPA Grandmother! You vex me with your teasing. GRNDMOTHR Same thing, isn't it? YUPA I only want to solve the riddle of the Fukai... Are we, the human race, a species destined to be swallowed by the Fukai and be destroyed...? I want to see and judge for myself. -------------------------------- (In Nausicaa's room) NAUSICAA If only I could help Master Yupa... -------------------------------- (That night) MITO Princess... Princess! NAUSICAA What, Mito? MITO Goll says he smells something in the wind. NAUSICAA It's almost dawn <isn't it>... I'll be right there. (Atop the castle) NAUSICAA Good work. ["Gokuro^sama" ET: Thanks for the toil] GOLL It's a good storm, but something's strange... NAUSICAA ...! There!! There, again! It's a plane. MITO Why would a plane be in a borderland like this... YUPA What's happening? MITO Master Yupa! It's a plane. YUPA A plane?! NAUSICAA It's coming! MITO It's big! YUPA It's a giant <sized> Torumekian ship! NAUSICAA The way it's flying is strange...! It's trying to make an emergency landing [ALT: forced landing]. Goll! Get me up! MITO Princess! That's absurd! NAUSICAA I'll guide them to the coast! YUPA They've turned around! GOLL Here goes. (Teto jumps onto Nausicaa's shoulder just before the catapult launches Mehve into the air) NAUSICAA Teto...! (A swarm of ground insects -caterpillar like- are attacking the plane and causing damages) NAUSICAA How could they? They <must have> landed in the Fukai and killed some insects. Raise your rudder!! You're going to crash!! Raise your rudder!! Your rudder...!! -------------------------------- (Explosion. On the castle roof) YUPA It fell... MITO Princess...! GOLL It's the seaside cliff! MITO Let's go!! VOICE Move it, let's go!! All who're able, hurry up!! -------------------------------- (At the crash site) NAUSICAA It's that girl! She's alive...! RASTEL Where...? NAUSICAA The Valley of the Wind... You mustn't speak! RASTEL I am Rastel of Pejite... The cargo... Please burn the cargo...! NAUSICAA The cargo? RASTEL Please ... Burn it... NAUSICAA The cargo. I understand. It's all right. Everything burned. RASTEL Good... MITO Princess! MITO This lady...! She's a princess of the royal house of Pejite... -------------------------------- (From the center of the tumult,) MAN An insect!! An Ushiyabu was alive!! MAN Damn! It's calling other insects! MAN It's hurt and can't fly. MAN Bring your guns here! MAN It's no use! If we shoot, it'll call more of its kind! MAN I'll kill it on the first shot. MAN You can't kill an Ushiyabu with a gun! MAN Then what? NAUSICAA Wait! Mito, <please> bring the Mehve. MITO Yes! MAN Princess! (Nausicaa takes out her insect-whistle) NAUSICAA Go back to the forest... It's all right! You can fly. Yes, that's a good child... MITO Princess! NAUSICAA Thanks. (She tosses the insect-whistle up into the air, and the Ushiyabu takes flight. Leading the insect, Nausicaa heads for the Fukai) MITO I'm glad... We don't know what would happen if we killed even one of them... [The alternative, "if even one of them is killed", does not specifically imply humans as the killers. For this reason, the preceding sentence should be left as is, even though it is a bit awkward] -------------------------------- (In the wasteland, an Ohmu awaits) NAUSICAA Ohmu... -------------------------------- (In the air, war planes signal each other) -------------------------------- (In the Valley, the fields are being searched for spores) BOY Found it! Over here! Here it is. There were spores on that ship after all. MAN They haven't given off any poisons yet? (Torches spore) Just a little more. BOY Yup. If even one remains, it would be a disaster. (At the smouldering remains of the crash) MAN What do you suppose this lump is...? MAN It didn't burn even in that fire. MITO Well, everybody, we'll return to the investigation of this thing later. Please go help burn the spores. Be extra careful. [pause] Really, what a troublesome thing they've managed to transport in <to this valley>. YUPA Mito, look here. MITO It's moving... It's as if it's alive. Master Yupa, this is...? YUPA In the midst of my travels, I heard of an ominous rumor... It said that a monster from the ancient world had been excavated from beneath the city of Pejite where it had been sleeping. MITO A monster from the ancient world? YUPA It's a God Soldier [LT: Giant God Soldier]. MITO A God Soldier?! You mean, the ones that burned the world in the Seven Days of Fire...?! This thing ...! YUPA All God Soldiers should have become fossils. But this one managed to sleep underground for 1000 years. MITO It does seem to have a human form, now that you've told me. YUPA Torumekia is a large military state in the far West. And with these dead captives from Pejite... It bothers me... -------------------------------- (Near the forest of the Valley) NAUSICAA Please take care of the rest. [pause] What can it be...? (Planes appear, scattering the people) NAUSICAA It's a Torumekian ship. Everyone, to the castle! (From the landed planes, armored soldiers is getting off) NAUSICAA Everyone! To the castle!! Everyone, go to the castle!! [LT: gather at the castle; meet at the castle] To the castle!! (Seeing a plane dispatching troops into the castle,) NAUSICAA Father!! -------------------------------- (In the castle. Jhil takes out a sword) JHIL Hide, Grandmother. GRNDMOTHR I'll stay here. (As she approaches the castle, Nausicaa hears gun shots) WOMAN Princess!? (Bursting into Jhil's apartment, Nausicaa finds Torumekian soldiers standing over her father's body) NAUSICAA How dare you...!! [LT: self; ET: you] (She attacks. As she finishes off the guards, new armored soldiers arrive. She evades an attack and leaps back. Finding her father's sword, she charges) GRNDMOTHR Nausicaa! (Yupa leaps between Nausicaa and the invading soldiers) YUPA You! Don't move!! If you do, this knife shaved from the very shell of an Ohmu will pierce your ceramic armor. SOLDIER (To Kushana) That man... is Yupa. YUPA I ask the Torumekian army. Last night, the people of this valley worked furiously to save your ship. YUPA Even now, we just finished carefully burying the dead. Though <this country> is small, is this the courtesy of Torumekia towards such a country?! If you're starting a war, there must be a reason. You should first send a messenger and state <whatever> your objections <are>. (Quietly, to Nausicaa) Nausicaa... Calm down, Nausicaa. If we fight now, everyone in the valley will be murdered. We must remain alive and wait for our chance. KUROTOWA Oof... That wench...! KUSHANA Stop it, Kurotowa. KUROTOWA But...! Oh hell... What a fiend! [ALT: What a bitch] She killed off *everyone*! KUSHANA Your admonition pains my ears... Aren't you Yupa Miralda, the best swordsman in the borderlands? Our objective is not massacre. I want to talk. <I ask that you> sheathe your sword. -------------------------------- (Outside the castle, the people have been gathered under guard. Kushana is standing on a tank facing of them. Nausicaa walks up to the tank) MITO It's the Princess! MAN Princess! KUROTOWA Listen! It is the words of Her Highness Kushana, Commander of the borderland expeditionary force of the Torumekian Empire! KUSHANA We have come to unite the borderland countries to construct a land without worry. [LT: Big and leisurely way]. You are on the verge of being destroyed by the Fukai. Obey us, and cooperate in our undertaking! Burn down the Fukai and once again revive this land! UNCLE Burn down the Fukai? UNCLE Is that possible? KUSHANA We have revived the miraculous skills and powers that have once made the human race the masters of this planet. To those who obey me, I promise a livelihood without fear of the forest poisons or the insects! GRNDMOTHR Wait! (Grandmother walks up to the tank and faces Kushana) GRNDMOTHR You must not raise a hand against the Fukai! KUROTOWA Who is this old crone? Hey! Take her away! KUSHANA Let her speak... GRNDMOTHR Thousand years since the birth of the Fukai... Humans have frequently attempted to burn down the Fukai. But every time, a herd of Ohmu, maddened with anger, converged to become a giant wave that covered the land and came as a flood [ALT: maddened with anger, came at an onslaught as one wave] Destroying countries, swallowing up cities... The Ohmu continued to run until their own lives expired from starvation. In due time, using Ohmu's corpses as the seed-beds, the spores dropped their roots to the earth and vast lands were swallowed by the Fukai... You must not touch the Fukai... KUROTOWA Shut up! I won't allow such raving! GRNDMOTHR Well, what will you do? Kill me? KUROTOWA Y-You <bitch>! ["Kisama": "You", but a nastier term; curse-like] GRNDMOTHR Go ahead, kill me! I'm a blind old woman; it's simple! Like <the way> you killed Jhil... MITO Lord Jhil?! MAN Lord Jhil was ill! VILLAGERS Murderers! Murderers!! KUROTOWA Quiet them! Don't be lenient with those who defy. NAUSICAA Everyone, wait! Please listen to me...! I don't want to create any more casualties... MITO Princess... NAUSICAA Please understand as well, Grandmother. Let's obey these people. -------------------------------- (The God Soldier is being hauled by the village people to the castle) KUSHANA It's a pretty nice valley, don't you think...? KUROTOWA I'm opposed to this. Our orders are to transport the God Soldier back to our native country as soon as possible. KUSHANA The orders cannot be carried out. Even the giant <sized> ship could not bear the weight of that thing and crashed. KUROTOWA But... You can't be serious to establish a state [ALT: nation] here... KUSHANA And what if I am? Are you saying we should make that monster the play-thing of those fools back home? KUROTOWA Well, I could understand that, but... (Snaps to attention,) I am no more than a simple soldier. I would be overstepping my privilege in such a decision. [ALT: Such decision would be beyond my station] KUSHANA Hmph! Fox...! [LT: Badger] I will return to Pejite. In my absence, pour all efforts into reviving the God Soldier. KUROTOWA Yes, ma'am! KUSHANA Is this gun ship usable? KUROTOWA Yes, it's a find. -------------------------------- (In Kushana's makeshift headquarters) KUSHANA Don't mistake me. I am not consulting you. MITO But...! Taking the Princess to Pejite... GOLL Five hostages, the gunship, and food, you say... KUSHANA I'll leave the selection <of hostages> up to you. Complete the preparation by departure, tomorrow morning. [ALT: the preparation in time to depart tomorrow morning] -------------------------------- (In the hanger) YUPA Thanks for being the hostages. MITO Never mind us... Please look. They're intending to take everything. YUPA I will leave this place for the time being. I'll return secretly and wait for an opportunity. We must stop the revival of that monster at all costs. MITO Yes. -------------------------------- (Yupa knocks on Nausicaa's door) YUPA Nausicaa. (Hearing no reply, he enters) YUPA Teto, where is your mistress? (Yupa follows Teto to a room under the castle) YUPA Nausicaa, what is the meaning of this? These are plants from the Fukai! NAUSICAA I gathered the spores and raised them. It's all right. They're not giving off any vapor [ALT: miasma]. YUPA Not giving off poison...!? Although the air in here is certainly pure... Why?! Even when this venomous Hisokusari plant has flowered?! NAUSICAA The water used here is brought up from 500 meters underground by the castle's giant windmill. I gathered the sand from the bottom of the same well. I've found out that the Fukai's plants don't give off poison with clean water and soil... It's the soil that's polluted! Even the soil of this valley is polluted. Why!? Who could have done this to the world? YUPA You found that out all by yourself? NAUSICAA Yes... <Because> I wanted to cure Father's and everyone's illness. But... I will close this place soon. I've stopped the water a little while ago, so everything should soon wither away. (Nausicaa goes to Yupa crying) YUPA Nausicaa...! NAUSICAA I... I'm afraid of myself... I don't know what I will do in anger! I don't want to kill anyone else...! -------------------------------- (The next day, just before takeoff) GIRL Princess [ALT: Sister-Princess]! Princess! We've gathered these Chico nuts... We give them to you, Princess! NAUSICAA Everyone...! So many... It must have been hard... Thank you... I'll eat them with care. GIRL Poor Princess! GUARD Hurry and get on board! We're departing!! NAUSICAA Come... Everyone. Don't cry any more... It's OK. I'll come right back. GIRL Really? NAUSICAA Hey, have I ever told you a lie? GIRL No... NAUSICAA Ne? GIRL Really? NAUSICAA Yes. Come, it will be dangerous <to stand around here>. GIRLS Promise!! [LT: For sure. They are essentially asking for reassurance] (The planes are accumulating acceleration) MAN Take care of the Princess! UNCLE Take care of the rest! [A common farewell phrase] -------------------------------- (Airborne; aboard the Valley's towed barge) GOLL Is Pejite any closer? [LT: Pejite not yet?] UNCLE My hip [LT: area covering waist and hip] is hurting... UNCLE My, my, the Princess has really chosen those that won't be missed. GOLL Hey... Don't you think this is strange? Why are we flying in a swarm like this? UNCLE It's as if they fear an attack. (Aboard a large transport ship) NAUSICAA Beneath the clouds is a terrible whirlpool of vapors. NAUSICAA ...? GUARD Don't move. (A foreign gunship suddenly appears from the clouds above) NAUSICAA Gunship!! VOICE Enemy attack! Ship number 2, destroyed!! (On the barge) UNCLE Like I said! UNCLE How frightening!! (The gunship is coming around for another attack) VOICE Perimeter defense! It's a Pejite gunship! NAUSICAA Pejite!? VOICE Damn - ship number 3, destroyed as well! What is the corvette doing?! RADIO (from ship number 3) "We can't steer! We can't steer!" MITO What a fragile ship. (Explosion) VOICE The rear-guard was caught up in it! (The barge's tow-line snaps and the barge drifts away) NAUSICAA The barge's wire...! Teto, hurry! MITO It's no use, this one'll fall, too! Princess! (Nausicaa climbs open to the transport's roof) NAUSICAA <Please> stop! Don't kill any more!! NAUSICAA Stop!! (The pilot hesitates and the gunship swerves. It is hit and goes down) MITO Princess! (The transport is on fire; Nausicaa and Mito make for the gunship in the cargo hold) NAUSICAA Hurry, Mito!! MITO Ouch-ouch-ouch. Princess! It's useless! NAUSICAA We might be able to fly! MITO What?! NAUSICAA Mito! Hurry!! MITO Y-Yes!! NAUSICAA Engine, start! We'll blast the door with the gun!! MITO Yes! (Nausicaa notices Kushana) NAUSICAA Come! Quickly!! (Kushana hesitates, then jumps aboard the gunship) NAUSICAA Quickly, get inside! Mito, ready?! MITO Somehow! NAUSICAA Engine full at the same time as the blast <of the gun>! MITO Roger! NAUSICAA Ready! Shoot! (The gunship successfully leaves the burning transport) NAUSICAA Put on the masks! We'll descend below the clouds and rescue the barge! -------------------------------- (Beneath the cloud, above the Fukai) NAUSICAA <Still> warm... Please don't die, Teto! MITO What a world <down there>! I've never seen such dense a vapor [ALT: miasma] before! NAUSICAA Rear seat! Attention to the right-rear direction! It's near. It's still flying! MITO It's true! It really was there!! UNCLE It's the Princess! GOLL Princess! NAUSICAA Everyone! Hang on!! I'll extend the rope. UNCLE The hook is broken. Aerial retrieval is impossible! UNCLE I don't want to make an emergency landing [ALT: forced landing] and be eaten by the bugs!! UNCLE I'll just die [ALT: I'll just kill myself] without any more ado! MITO Calm down!! Throw out the baggage!! UNCLE Fare thee well! MITO Do as I say!! Throw out the baggage!! NAUSICAA Rear seat! Cut the engine!! MITO W-What?! NAUSICAA The engine noise is distracting. Hurry!! MITO Y-Yes! (Nausicaa stands up in the cockpit and removes her mask) GOLL P-Princess! W-What... UNCLE Princess, your mask!! You'll die! Put on your mask!! NAUSICAA Everybody! I'll save you for certain [ALT: sure]! Believe me and throw out the baggage! UNCLE We'll do anything! Please, hurry, put on your mask! GOLL The Princess is smiling. UNCLE We're going to be saved. GOLL Hurry! Throw out the baggage! MITO The bow is falling!! NAUSICAA Ignite the engine! We'll look for a place for emergency landing! A little <of the vapor [ALT: miasma]>... got in my lungs... -------------------------------- (The gunship and the trailer barge splash down onto a lake) UNCLE Princess! NAUSICAA Is everyone all right? KUSHANA Don't move! (She points her gun) MITO You...!! ["Kisama"] KUSHANA Thanks for your labor a while back. GOLL Princess! Why <did you save> such a one...? KUSHANA You're too naive. ["Amai" ET: sweet, easy, simple, trusting] Did you think I would get on my knees and thank you? NAUSICAA You haven't understood anything about the Fukai. This is not a human world... It's a place where you don't know what will happen if you use a gun. Many ships fell to the forest from the battle a little while ago, and the insects are angry. Look, above... The royal Yanma is the sentinel [ET: watch] of the forest. It will call [ALT: gather] the other insects immediately. We must escape at once! <Bring out> the spare rope! MEN Y-Yes! NAUSICAA Mito! Repair the hook! MITO Yes! (Kushana shoots) KUSHANA Don't move! I'll give the orders! NAUSICAA What are you frightened of? You're like a lost fox-squirrel. KUSHANA WHAT!? NAUSICAA Don't be afraid... I just want you to go back to your own country. KUSHANA You <bitch>...! ["Kisama"] (The ship bobs up and down as waves form on the lake) UNCLES What is it? NAUSICAA They've come! (Ohmu surface all around them) NAUSICAA Quiet!! Don't anger them! UNCLE This is an Ohmu's nest!! GOLL We're surrounded... NAUSICAA They're investigating us... Ohmu! I'm sorry! For disturbing your nest... But, please understand! We're not your enemies. (An Ohmu extends his feelers, surrounding Nausicaa) UNCLE P-Princess! (Nausicaa sees a vision of golden field and a large tree. The Ohmu leave) NAUSICAA ..!! That person is alive? Wait! Ohmu!! GOLL What's starting [ALT: happening]?! UNCLE The Ohmu's eyes are bright red. GOLL Princess! What do you think you're doing with Mehve? NAUSICAA When the water calms down, lift off at once and wait in the upper sky! If I'm not back in one hour, return to the valley!! MITO But! UNCLE Princess! (Nausicaa flies off) UNCLE She's gone... MITO (To Kushana) You will give me that... Well, everyone, let's do as the Princess instructed. Princess... -------------------------------- (The pilot of the downed-gunship is fighting a losing-battle with swarms of ground insects) PILOT S-Shit! (The pilot drops from the cliff, pursued by Hebikera, a flying insect. Nausicaa saves the pilot from the closing jaws of the insect) PILOT You <are>...? NAUSICAA You've killed too many <insects>! Neither the light bombs nor the insect-whistle will work anymore! (The tail of the insect strikes Mehve. They crash-land onto a patch of sand. The pilot regains consciousness) ASBEL Quicksand! D-Damn! -------------------------------- (In the sky above Fukai) UNCLE It's already been 2 hours! UNCLE The insects have only increased. UNCLES Princess! Princess!! -------------------------------- (Golden field; a dream. Young Nausicaa is gathering flowers) JHIL Nausicaa... Nausicaa! Come here... Come here...! NAUSICAA Father... Mother's here, too... No... I don't want to go that way... NAUSICAA Don't come! There's nothing <here>. Really there's nothing <here>! (An Ohmu larva appears) NAUSICAA Don't come out! MAN It's an Ohmu larva . JHIL So the tree was being infested, after all. [This phrase can also be interpreted as "So she was possessed <by the bug> afterall". It is my strong belief that it is the former, but it's hard to say for sure] Give it here, Nausicaa. NAUSICAA No. It hasn't done anything wrong! JHIL People and insects can't live in the same world, child. NAUSICAA Please! Don't kill it!! Please ... (She wakes) NAUSICAA Teto ... NAUSICAA A mysterious [ALT: strange; "fushigi na" ] place... (The pilot, carrying Mehve, runs up to Nausicaa) ASBEL Hi! I found it at last. How do you feel? NAUSICAA Where are we? ASBEL First of all, let me thank you. I'm Asbel of Pejite. Thanks for saving me. NAUSICAA I'm Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind... Where is this place? ASBEL It's not surprising that you're amazed. We're beneath the Fukai. NAUSICAA Beneath the Fukai? ASBEL Look. We fell down from up there, with the sands. NAUSICAA ...!! We don't have our masks on! ASBEL Yes, that's just it. The air here is clean. I was surprised, too... That there was a place like this under the Fukai. What's the matter? (Nausicaa starts to walk away) ASBEL Nausicaa! Don't go too far! (She walks up to one of the fossilized tree) NAUSICAA What a magnificent tree... It's still conducting water even though it has died... (Sand-fragments fall from above. She picks one up) NAUSICAA Just like the sand from the well... NAUSICAA The trees that fossilized crumbled, and is falling down... (After a while, Asbel finds Nausicaa) ASBEL You're crying? NAUSICAA Yes... I'm happy... -------------------------------- (Later) ASBEL Rastel was my twin sister... I wanted to be there for her <when she died>... NAUSICAA I'm sorry... <That> I was delayed in telling you. ASBEL No... I'm sorry. I almost killed the person who observed my sister's death. [ALT: who was by my sister's death bed] ["Mitoru" - To oversee death. In Japan, as in other countries, observance of the death of those you love or related to is considered important. Here, with Nausicaa observing the death of Asbel's sister in his place, Asbel "owes" Nausicaa somewhat] NAUSICAA No. ASBEL So... That thing is in the Valley of the Wind? ASBEL ...!! Strange tasting nuts, aren't they? NAUSICAA They're called Chico nuts... They're very nutritious. ASBEL Tastes aside, I want to eat a boot-full! -------------------------------- (That night) ASBEL The reason for the birth of Fukai? You're a person who thinks about strange things. NAUSICAA The trees of the Fukai were born to clean this world that humans have polluted. They take the earth's poison into themselves, turn it into clean crystals, then die and become sands. This underground cavern was created in that way. The insects are protecting that forest. ASBEL If so, it seems like we have no choice but to die out. We won't know how many thousands of years it would take - We can't keep living in fear of the vapor [ALT: miasma] and the insects. At the ver least, we need a way to keep the Fukai's poison from spreading any more than it has. NAUSICAA You say the same thing as Kushana. ASBEL No! We aren't planning to use the God Soldier in warfare! Tomorrow, when you meet everyone, you'll understand! NAUSICAA Let's go to sleep... Tomorrow... we'll have to fly a lot... -------------------------------- (Back in the Valley, where the God Soldier is being revived) GUARD Nothing unusual, sir. KUROTOWA Going smoothly? GUARD Yes, sir! The upper-half has almost stabilized. KUROTOWA (to the God Soldier) Really, the more I look, the more adorable a monster you seem. Even for a poor soldier like myself, the ambition that has been rusted for quite some time starts to throb. Sheesh! It's laughing! The likes of you should've slept underground 'til the end of time! GUARD Chief! Her Highness' convoy was attacked by a Pejite rebel and, leaving only one corvette, have all been annihilated. KUROTOWA What happened to Her Highness! GUARD I'm told that her ship exploded in mid-air. GUARDS Chief! KUROTOWA The villagers haven't caught on yet...? GUARD No, sir! KUROTOWA Good! I'll go at once. As for the rest of you, continue the operation! GUARDS Yes, sir! KUROTOWA Is it luck that's finally come around to an unlucky commoner, or is it a snare of destruction? -------------------------------- (On a hidden-stairwell in the castle) BOY Uncle Mito and the others have come back. BOY They're waiting for you at the Acid Sea, Master Yupa. -------------------------------- (In the hull of the ancient ship near the Acid Sea) MITO We alone have returned <without the princess>... [apologetic] [ALT: We had the nerve to return alone] VOICE No... I'm glad no one's hurt. (In one section of the hull,) KUSHANA <You say you're> setting me free? YUPA Won't you sink the God Soldier deep into the Acid Sea and return to your own country? The <Torumekian> warriors who remain in the valley are few. It would be easy to fight now, but there's no sense i increasing any more casualties. KUSHANA Neither fire nor water will work on that thing... Nor can you move it now, until it starts to walk... Don't you understand? There's no turning back. Because of the fear that a foreign country might possess enormous power, I was ordered to conquer Pejite. Now that the existence of the thing is known, the neighboring countries will soon be dispatching huge armies, one after the other. There's only one path left to you <all>. Revive the God Soldier, reject the intervention of the neighboring powers, and live with that thing! Look! (Kushana unfastens some gadgetry to reveal her mechanical left hand) YUPA By an insect...? KUSHANA One who will be my husband will see yet more dreadful things. Burn the Fukai! Kill the insects! Why do you hesitate to take back t human world?! Take [ALT: Snatch] that thing <from us> as we took [ALT: snatched] it from Pejite. YUPA We will not revive the God Soldier! (A child arrives at the door) BOY Emergency!! BOY Hey, give the password! BOY I'm in a hurry! BOY Wind! BOY VALLEY!! BOY OK. BOY A spore was left! MITO WHAT?! BOY They're giving off great vapors and it's becoming a huge commotion throughout the valley! -------------------------------- (Outside the castle, a crowd has gathered) VOICE Hand them over! VOICE Hurry, hand them over! VOICE If we don't hurry, the whole valley will be annihilated! VOICE That's right! Hand over the hand-hooks and flame- throwers!! VOICE It's growing rapidly! GUARD The tools for burning the spores could become weapons... Giving them that <would be>... KUROTOWA It can't be helped. Return all but the guns. GUARD Yes, sir! GUARD The corvette is departing. KUROTOWA Don't fail this time. Gather all the remaining troops from Pejite and bring them to this valley. GUARD Yes, sir! KUROTOWA Geez, it's becoming troublesome... MAN Hurry! Hurry up! -------------------------------- (At the Acid Sea, the gunship is about to leave) GOLL Please find the Princess. YUPA Take care of the valley. Restrain yourselves until I return. GOLL Yes <we will>. GOLL We'll go to the valley. -------------------------------- (In the fields) MAN It's no use! The spore has spread this far. MAN It struck here, too! WOMAN Out of the way! GUARD What are you doing! WOMAN Here, too! VOICE Grandmother... GRNDMOTHR We can only burn them... This forest is lost. If we hesitate, the whole valley will be swallowed up by the Fukai. MAN Isn't there anything that can be done...? This forest has protected the reservoir for 300 years... MAN Damn... If only they hadn't come... (Approaching the Valley,) GOLL It looks like it won't settle as it is [ALT: settle with just the burning of the forests]. Let's go! -------------------------------- (Near Pejite, Nausicaa and Asbel are riding tandem on Mehve) ASBEL You think so? It looks the same as always to me. NAUSICAA No insects... I wonder why? My heart is pounding. ASBEL It's a little further. If we cross those mountains, my people [ALT: friend. "Nakama" encompasses the nuances of friends, allies, companions, those who aspire for the same thing] are there. ASBEL ...?! It looks strange in Pejite's direction. What's that haze? NAUSICAA ...! Asbel, put on your mask! ASBEL Insects...! <They're> dead... NAUSICAA We're going to Pejite! ASBEL Be careful! Torumekian troops should be there. -------------------------------- (Pejite is in ruins. Nausicaa and Asbel walk through the city. They find a corpse of Ohmu that has penetrated the the ruined mass that was the wall) NAUSICAA Even an Ohmu... ASBEL <I can't believe> the Center Dome was broken [ALT: eaten] through...! It's the end of Pejite ... Even if we annihilated the Torumekians, this is... NAUSICAA annihilated? What do you mean, Asbel? (They notice a plane) NAUSICAA It's a brig [ALT: transport ship]. ASBEL It's my people's [ALT: friends'] ship! It's coming down. Let's go! (The brig lands) LEADER Asbel! You're alive! ASBEL What have you done? We can't even reconstruct like this! LEADER You saw the city, I see. Don't worry. Even if it's swallowed by the Fukai, we can burn it away almost at once. ASBEL But the God Soldier isn't here. LEADER I know. It's in the Valley of the Wind. ASBEL How <did you know>? LEADER We weren't playing, either. We have already put plan number 2 into action. By tonight, all of the Torumekian army in the Valley of the Wind will be destroyed. ASBEL What?! NAUSICAA Destroyed? What are you going to do? LEADER Asbel, who is this? ASBEL Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. She saved my life. LEADER The Valley of the Wind... NAUSICAA Tell me! What's happening? Asbel! You know, don't you? Tell me! ASBEL We will make the insects...attack. NAUSICAA You were the one who made the insects attack Pejite?! How can you...? LEADER We must take back the God Soldier before it's revived at any cost. MAN It's to protect the world... Please understand. NAUSICAA So you'll kill the people of the valley in the process?! Stop it! Stop it at once! Please! MAN It's too late. LEADER No one can stop them once they've started to run. Most of us were killed off by the Torumekians. There's no other way left <for us>! (Nausicaa tries to leave on Mehve) LEADER Hold her down! NAUSICAA Release me! Let me go!! LEADER Even though it's tough right now, soon as we take back the God Soldier, we can burn the Fukai and take back the human world. NAUSICAA That's a lie! You're the same as the Torumekians!! LEADER No! They would only use it for destruction! NAUSICAA You drink the well-water, too, don't you? Who do you think is purifying that water? The lakes and rivers that humans have made into poisoned waters, the trees of Fukai are purifying. You're saying you'll burn down those forests? You're at fault for excavating the God Soldier!! [ALT: It's your fault for excavating the God Soldier] LEADER Then, what should we do?! Do as the Torumekians dictate?! NAUSICAA No, no!! Asbel, tell them the reason why the Fukai was born! That the insects are protecting the world...! Asbel! Please!! (Asbel grabs the Leader's gun) LEADER What are you doing? ASBEL Don't move! Let her go. LEADER Calm down, Asbel! ASBEL I'm serious! Let her go! Nausicaa! Let everyone (in the Valley) know! (Asbel is struck from behind and he goes down) NAUSICAA Asbel!! Release me!! -------------------------------- (Kushana has managed to escape and is returning to the Valley on foot. She sees the Valley in turmoil) KUSHANA Those fools...! -------------------------------- (A mob is attacking the Torumekian soldiers and heading for the castle) GOLL We can't help what's already started. UNCLE <But> we were told to restrain ourselves... KUROTOWA Don't panic; go rescue the soldiers with tanks! GUARD Chief! The last one went down. KUROTOWA Are they coming this way? GUARD I don't know. The villagers are gathering. KUROTOWA Don't you hate it? A forest or two, and they go blood-thirsty. It's a repetition of Pejite. (Kurotowa notices the uncles making for the castle gate) KUROTOWA They've taken the tank! GOLL Move it quickly! UNCLE Don't hassle me. UNCLE They're coming!! GUARD Forward! GOLL Hey, hey, hurry up. UNCLE I wonder if this is it? Ah, it moved. UNCLE Which way are you going?! GOLL Go forward! Forward!! UNCLE I KNOW. KUROTOWA Damn! Send out all tanks! (Kurotowa notices Kushana striding in) KUROTOWA <Wouldn't you know it,> she was alive... It was but a brief dream... (snaps to attention) Your Highness! UNCLE While we hold the enemy in check, take everyone and make refuge by the Acid Sea! MAN Understood! MAN Hold on until the Princess returns with the gunship! MAN Everybody, hurry. MAN Hurry up! GOLL Don't be slow. Why don't you help too? UNCLE I have a bad back ["gikkuri-goshi": a bad hip; a failed spine to hip area]. They've come! The tanks have come! UNCLE Quickly! UNCLE I know, already! -------------------------------- (On board the Torumekian corvette) LIEUTENNT There's no mistake? GUARD It's a Pejite brig. I caught a glimpse of it beyond those clouds. LIEUTENNT Good! -------------------------------- (On the Pejite ship) GUARD Please be careful. She was acting violently only a little while ago... WOMAN Hurry! WOMAN Miss Nausicaa, we'll get you out of here. Go and let the Valley know... There may still be time if you use your kite... It's prepared. I heard everything from Asbel. [ALT: Asbel told us everything] GIRL I'll take your place, so hurry and take this... NAUSICAA You are...? WOMAN I'm Rastel's mother... NAUSICAA Mother...! MOTHER (Asbel's) I'm so sorry... What we did was all wrong. GIRL Hurry! (Nausicaa, wearing the other girl's dress, leaves with Asbel's mother) NAUSICAA That girl...? MOTHER It's all right; don't worry. (In a storage section of the brig) WOMAN Be careful. OLD WOMAN Please forgive <us for> the terrible treatment... ASBEL Nausicaa, over here! Hurry! NAUSICAA Thank you, everyone! ASBEL Sorry I was late... (In a cargo hold/hanger) ASBEL Can you fly from here? NAUSICAA I'll try. (A corvette appears from the cloud) NAUSICAA A corvette! LEADER Retreat! Hurry, into the clouds!! LIEUTENNT Cease fire! Fools! It's air disturbance and electric hell within the clouds. GUARD (Pejite) It's no use! We can't steer! ASBEL The ship is breaking up! LEADER Everyone! It can't be helped. Let's get out of the clouds and fight! (The brig comes out of the cloud, but the corvette is waiting) LEADER They've anticipated us! [ALT: They've read our intention] ASBEL Damn. What are they <Torumekians> intending to do?! NAUSICAA The clouds! They're going to force us onto the clouds and board! (The corvette lands on top of the larger Pejite ship, and boarding parties enter) ASBEL They're coming! If you're going to fly, now is the only time. NAUSICAA I can't do that! I'll stay behind, too! I can't just leave that girl who took my place or your mother behind and go! ASBEL Only you can save the people of the Valley! Please, go! Go for us!! (There is fighting in the corridors) GUARD We'll take the ship. Don't take prisoners. Kill them all [?]. -------------------------------- (A man appears in the hatchway to the hold) ASBEL Go, Nausicaa!! GO!! (Nausicaa is pushed out by Asbel) NAUSICAA Asbel!! (The corvette leaves the Pejite ship to chase Nausicaa. Soon, the Valley gunship appears) MITO Princess!! NAUSICAA Mito! (Valley gunship shoots down the corvette) NAUSICAA Mito! Master Yupa!! MITO Princess!! NAUSICAA Hurry! Everyone <will be> [in ref to people of Pejite]...! Everyone <will be>!! MITO I'll extend the retrieval hook now! Master Yupa! <Pull> the red leve on the right! -------------------------------- (Back aboard the Pejite ship) GUARD This is the only place left. Hurry! ASBEL The door...is breaking! LEADER Let them come... We'll show them the pride of Pejite!! GIRL I wonder what that is? A bird...? LOOKOUT It's a ship! A gunship from the Valley of the Wind! GUARD What!? (Yupa lands) GUARD You <bastard>...! ["Kisama"] (Three guards fall on Yupa, but he quick them) LIEUTENNT It's Yupa! Kill him and gain fame! [ALT: win fame; gain renown] (Yupa leaps over the guards and corners their lieutenant) YUPA Surrender! The corvette will not be returning. GUARD S-Strong... [ALT: S-Skilled] -------------------------------- (In the gunship) MITO Princess, this is ridiculous! The engine will explode! NAUSICAA All it has to do is last until the Valley. [ALT: I don't care as long as it lasts to the Valley] Raise it to 300!! Dear God...! Dear God of the Wind! Please protect everyone. -------------------------------- (The people of the Valley are holed up in the wreck of an ancient space ship; the Torumekian army has them surrounded) KUROTOWA It doesn't seem like we can move them even with a lever... KUSHANA They're waiting for her return... KUROTOWA Return? KUSHANA They believe that that girl will return with the gunship. KUROTOWA The gunship would be troublesome... Shall we start a round now <before the gunship returns>? KUSHANA Do you know what that ship is? KUROTOWA It was built before the Seven Days of Fire, right? I don't know if it's true or not, but it <supposedly> went as far as the stars, or some such. The guns don't work very well <against it> because it's extremely hard, but, heck, if we aim at [ALT: shoot in] the holes... KUSHANA I want to wait as well. KUROTOWA Huh? KUSHANA If, that is, she can indeed return from the depth of the Fukai alive... I would have liked to have spoken with that girl once. (She goes down to the Valley prisoners) KUSHANA Well? Made up your minds? If you're going to counsel surrender <to them> I'll release you. Do you want this to be a repetition of Pejite? UNCLE You're a Princess, too, but you're very different from our Princess... GOLL Please look at this hand. It's the same disease as Lord Jhil's. In half a year, it'll be just like a rock. But, our Princess says she likes this hand. She told me it was the beautiful hand of a hard- working person. KUSHANA Even while being affected by the poisons of the Fukai, you nonetheless say you will live with the Fukai? UNCLE You use fire... We use a little of that, too, but... GOLL Too much fire gives birth to nothing... Fire turns a forest to ash in one day... UNCLE Water and wind takes 100 years to nurture a forest. We prefer water and wind... UNCLE If the Princess saw that forest, she would grieve... GUARD Chief. Any orders yet? KUROTOWA Mind your business... [ALT: Stay down; stay away; go away] GUARD Yes, sir! KUROTOWA I don't know what happened, but, my, you've turned soft-hearted. [ALT: cute(well...); manageable] KUSHANA Kurotowa! Release those people! KUROTOWA Then we're going to wait? KUSHANA Let the troops take their meal! In one hour we'll begin the attack! KUROTOWA A meal, eh...? I guess I'll take my time with it... (Later) MAN Somebody's coming! MAN It's Goll and the others! GOLL Hm? UNCLE What's the matter...? GOLL There's no wind... UNCLE No wind? You're right... The wind has stopped... GRNDMOTHR Oh... GIRL Grandmother, what's the matter? WOMAN Grandmother? GRNDMOTHR Somebody... Somebody take me outside...! (On the hull of the ancient ship) GIRL This is the first time the wind ever stopped... GIRL Grandmother, my ears hurt... GRNDMOTHR The atmosphere... The atmosphere is filled with anger... -------------------------------- (Aboard the gunship) NAUSICAA <We're> close! MITO We've cut through the Fukai! Three minutes to the Acid Sea! NAUSICAA Engine, slow! We'll descend beneath the clouds. MITO What are these lights?! NAUSICAA Ohmu...! MITO The Ohmu have flooded out of the Fukai!! They're heading for the Valley of the Wind! NAUSICAA Why? How did they get the Ohmu to <stampede>...? NAUSICAA ..!! Someone is calling the herd... Mito! Fly towards Sirius! MITO Y-Yes. NAUSICAA There! Mito, a flare! Ready... Fire! (A small Ohmu is being carried through the air) MITO What is that!? NAUSICAA How cruel...! They're using that child as a lure to call the herds. MITO Damn!! I'll knock them down! NAUSICAA No!! Don't shoot! Mito, please!! MITO Why! Why can't I shoot them down?! NAUSICAA If we kill the Ohmu's child, we won't be able to stop the stampede!! MITO Then what can we do?! As it stands, the Valley will be annihilated!! NAUSICAA Calm down, Mito! We'll return the Ohmu's child to the herd. I'll try it! MITO Princess, what are you doing?! NAUSICAA Mito, you go let everyone know! (Nausicaa leaves on Mehve) MITO Princess!! Without even a weapon...! -------------------------------- (Back in the Valley) GUARD Those are not our flares! KUSHANA Distance?! GUARD About 20 leagues. I speculate that it is on the other side of the lake. KUSHANA Do you think it's the gunship? KUROTOWA Most likely... It's a signal requesting help. It's definitely the gun ship. KUSHANA One hour has passed. Let's go. KUROTOWA You won't wait? KUSHANA It's a bloody path, after all. GUARD Armored troops, forward! KUROTOWA Your Highness, <won't you go> inside? KUSHANA Here is fine. GUARD The gunship! GUARD Air raid! KUSHANA Don't shoot!! Stop. Stop it! GOLL Princess!! KUSHANA Await orders here! Hold your fire!! KUROTOWA Your Highness! (The gunship lands) KUSHANA What happened to that girl?! GOLL Where's the Princess!? UNCLE She's not riding in the back! MITO It's the Ohmu! A herd of Ohmu is coming this way! GOLL What? MAN Ohmu? MITO The Princess stayed behind alone to stop the stampede. There's no time for fighting! Everyone, escape to high ground! Hurry!! (Atop the wreck, looking on) GIRL Grandmother, I can see red lights! GIRL It looks like they're multiplying rapidly... GIRL They're coming this way! GRNDMOTHR Hang on tight to Grandma... No one can stop them now... VOICES Don't panic!! It's still all right! Hurry! OLD WOMAN Mito... I'm going to die anyway; I'll die in the valley. MITO No. While the Princess hasn't given up, don't give up. (Kushana is addressing her troops) KUSHANA All right? Gain as much time as you can. I will return shortly. KUROTOWA Your Highness! Are you considering that thing...? It's too soon. KUSHANA If we don't use it now, when do we use it? Go! -------------------------------- (Nausicaa is circling the Pejite 'flying jar') NAUSICAA Don't shoot! Hear me out! MAN Damn... That one's like a bird! GUNNER That person's not an enemy. She was crying out something. MAN Anyone who hinders the plan is an enemy. If we don't drop the lure in the valley soon, it'll be us who are in danger. [ALT: we will be in danger] She's coming... Draw her in real close before you fire. Now! Shoot!! GUNNER No!! That's Rastel's <clothes>... MAN Move! (Nausicaa leaps from Mehve into the flying jar. The operation is disrupted and the flying jar loses altitude. The Ohmu larva lands and pulls the vehicle down. Nausicaa heads for the injured larva) NAUSICAA Ohmu... NAUSICAA Don't be angry... Don't be frightened... I'm not your enemy... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I can't ask you to forgive us, can I...? It was too cruel, wasn't it...? (The Ohmu larva, sensing the approach of the herd, starts forward) NAUSICAA You mustn't move!! Your body fluid's going to flow!! MAN Oh no! [ALT: Oh my god] We've been found! [ALT: They found us] GUNNER They're coming this way! (The Ohmu larva tries to cross the lake to rejoin the herd) NAUSICAA Don't! If you go in with a wound like that...! This lake water is no good, I tell you! (Nausicaa's foot enters the water and is burned the acid) NAUSICAA AHHH!! (The Ohmu larva lifts her away from the lake. It extends its feelers to comfort Nausicaa) NAUSICAA You... [pause] Kind child... I'm all right... Soon everyone will be here to take you back... (Ohmu herd that was heading toward the larva now turns away) NAUSICAA They're not coming this way! Ohmu! Don't! The Valley of the Wind lies that way!! In anger they've forgotten themselves. If I can calm them, the Valley will be...!! (Rockets are being launched from the Valley) MAN Fools! They're gathering the Ohmu themselves! GUNNER We're saved... MAN Let's take off at once. Check the engine... [pause] S-stop! (Nausicaa has dismounted the flying jar's machine gun) MAN We can explain! NAUSICAA Carry us... I will return that child to the herd! MAN It's no use <doing a thing like that>. The herd won't stop! NAUSICAA You'll only have to drop [ALT: unload] us in front of the herd. Carry us! GUNNER But... You'll die, too! -------------------------------- (Acid Sea) GIRL Will everyone die, Grandmother? GRNDMOTHR If that is our destiny...we can only obey. KUROTOWA Haven't budged at all! GUARD Let's retreat, sir. KUROTOWA Idiot. You talk about escaping but...where do we escape to? (The soldiers loses heart and a mass desertion is about to begin) KUROTOWA Hey! Don't run away! Wait! Hey! Stand your ground until Her Highness returns! Her Highness... (Kushana arrives) It's Her Highness!! (The God Soldier appears behind Kushana) PEOPLE It's the God Soldier! KUROTOWA It's spoiled [ALT: rotting]... It was too early. KUSHANA Burn them down!! What's the matter...?! Are you not the descendent of the most evil clan <ever to live> on earth?! (The God Soldier opens fire on the Ohmu; Tremendous explosion follows) KUROTOWA Amazing... No wonder the world was burned! GUARD Her Highness Kushana... Hooray! Hooray! KUSHANA Burn them down! What's the matter, monster? Shoot at once! (The God Soldier begins to disintegrate and collapses) GIRL The God Soldier died... GRNDMOTHR It's better that way. The anger of the Ohmu is the anger of the earth. Of what use is surviving, relying on a thing like that? (Nausicaa is carried in with the small Ohmu) GIRL Princess !! It's Princess! VILLAGERS Princess. Princess...! (The flying jar drops Nausicaa and the Ohmu larva) MAN A place like that...! MAN That's crazy... WOMAN Princess! (The stampede arrives, and Nausicaa's body is tossed into the air) -------------------------------- (The Pejite brig, as it approaches the Valley) YUPA The Ohmu's attack color is going out...! -------------------------------- (Acid Sea) GRNDMOTHR The anger has disappeared from the atmosphere... MITO They've stopped... . The Ohmu have stopped. GIRL Princess!! GIRL Princess is dead... GRNDMOTHR She has quieted the Ohmu's anger with her own body [ET: life]... That child has protected the Valley... (An Ohmu lifts Nausicaa's body on its feelers; other Ohmu join in) MAN Look! KUROTOWA What are these lights...? (There is a great coalescence of light. Nausicaa regains consciousness [or resurrected, whichever you prefer]) NAUSICAA Teto... I'm glad... Ohmu, thank you... Thank you...! GOLL It's a miracle... It's a miracle! GRNDMOTHR What sympathy they possess...! The Ohmu are opening their hearts... Children, look well <for me> in place of my blind eyes. GIRL Princess is wearing a deep blue foreign dress. GIRL It's as if she's walking through a golden field... GRNDMOTHR "That one, wearing a robe of blue, shall descend onto a golden field..." Oh...!! GIRL Grandmother? GRNDMOTHR The old legend was indeed true...! GIRL Look! MAN It's Mehve! MAN The wind...! The wind has come back! (The people run to meet Nausicaa. Scenes of what happens afterwards follow. Nausicaa's mask lies near a new sapling growing in the cavern below the Fukai) THE END ------------------------------ cut here --------------------------------- Subject: Nausicaa credits X-Topic: Entry #234 of LISTS.NAUSICAA Date: Sat, 6 Jul 91 15:15:00 MST Reply-To: Hayao Miyazaki Discussion Group <NAUSICAA@BROWNVM.BITNET> From: Bruce Carlson <71021.3160@CompuServe.COM> Hi, y'all. The availability of a nice, new, revised, readable, wholy understandable script, plus a long weekend where plans fell thru, inspired me to finally lay some subtitles on Nausicaa (Maybe I'll do Warriors of the Wind next :). I was interested in putting some of the credits on, too. Using Animag, old articles, and the r.a.a voice actor list, I assembled the following: Director: Hayao Miyazaki Producer: Toru Hara Music: Jo Hisaishi Characters & screenplay Hayao Miyazaki Director of Photography Kazuo Komatsubara Conductor: Shigehara Shiba Art Director: Mitsuki Nakamura Editor: Tomoko Kida Assistant Directors: Takashi Tanzawa Kazuyoshi Katayama Production Yasuyoshi Tokuma Michitaka Kondo VOICES: Nausicaa: Shimamoto Sumi Yupa: Naya Goroo Mito: Nagai Ichiroo Grandmother: Kyouda Naoka Kushana: Sakakibara Yoshiko Rastel: Tominaga Miina Noticably missing are voices for Kurotowa, Jhil, and Asbel. Anyone have this, or any other info I could use? (Hey - Yupa is really Inspector Zenigata! Kushana is Silia Stingray! Nausicaa is Clarisse! Rastel is one of the Puma sisters?) Is anyone "maintaining" that revised script? It's a great script, but it might be nice to add the credits onto the end. It's a terrific script. The explanation of Kisama alone... (I always wondered by anime characters would scream "You!" as they charged with hostile intent :) Wish I could've kept all the notes on the subs. I did pretty much decide to stick with "Wastelands" instead of Fukai, though. Thanks, - B:C ---------- Bruce Carlson 71021.3160@CompuServe.COM Phoenix, Az.
