Galaxy Express 999 29

GE999 #29


p59
Next stop: the continent of Sakezan. It will last 3 hours and 10 minutes.
*Note: Sakezan is a portmanteau for sake (alcohol) and Tarzan.

The continent of Sakezan?

There lives some sort of Tarzan that drinks a lot of alcohol.
They say that this planet represents every man's dream.

It's true that the jungle is thick, just like Tarzan's one.
29th stop : The Continent of Sakezan
This planet is covered with thick and boundless vegetation.


p60-61
"If a man could live in complete freedom, he would definitely be the happiest of all. He wouldn't need to make out good from evil." -Planetaria Papillonet, escapee from a space jail


p62
Beware, the train will leave no matter what in 3 hours and 10 minutes...

And be careful about Sakezan too!

Is he violent?
You bet he is. They say that he's cruel too...

He has a hard time understanding people who wants to get robotised.

Here we are in the kingdom of Sakezan.
Is it his kingdom?!

I'm kinda thirsty...
There's nothing to drink here.


p63
You shouldn't drink the water of this pond infested with germs.

We should just ask some alcohol to monkeys.
To monkeys?

Ouh!!
What is he doing?

But if we drink this alcohol, Sakezan will be mad after us.

Me want to taste alcohol of monkey on tree.
Alcohol!!!

Alcohol!!!
What? Are they speaking our language?

Alcohol!!!
Sakezan taught them.

Is that monkey's alcohol?
You can drink it without fear.


p64
Amazing! They're the one who made it...?
Every living creature is our cousin. Don't be so picky!

...

Delicious!!!

Sakezan is really fussy about the taste of alcohol.

I'd gladly take more!

In the end, this place is far more amusing that I thought.


p65
...


p66
Monkey alcohol all for Sakezan. Thieves make Sakezan angry.


p67
sfx: Sakezaaaaaaaan!

Maetel!!!


p68
I need a weapon!!

Miss Maetel got kidnapped?!

It's no use fighting Sakezan with a gun.
100,000 monkeys are under his command.
100,000?!

But I gotta rescue Maetel!!

Sakezan is thinking like a "man among men". Furthermore, he's drinking: it's really dangerous!!

In that case, maybe I can talk to him...

... If only...


p69
There are monkeys everywhere here!


p70
They're all drunk, I have nothing to fear...
Ouuuuuh!

Argh!!!
Ouuch!!!

You do it.
Me give alcohol you.

Ouh! Ouh! Ouh!

sfx: Sakezaaaaaaaaan!


p71
Arg!!!

...

!!


p72
Is he Sakezan?

In the end, I'm doing better than you.

Sakezan strong!! Sakezan powerful!!
Argh...

sfx: Sakezaaaan!


p73
Ouh!


p74
Me lock you!

...

You bring alcohol to Sakezan!!
!!

Ouh!
Maetel!!!


p75
sfx: Zzzzzzzzzzz


p76-77
sfx: Zzzzzzzzzzz
What will happen to me...?


p78
?

Who are you?

Not so loud, or you will awake Sakezan.
??

My name is Liza, if you want to escape, it's now or never.
You'd let me go?

Are you a passenger of the Galaxy Express?
Yes.

So, please take me with you! I want to leave this planet!!

I know well that without a ticket, you're not allowed to go on it...
... But as a survivor, they might let me. Please help me, I'm begging you...


p79
Liza... how did you end up here?
Long time ago, my ship crashed on this planet. Ever since, I live with Sakezan...

But if I escape now, he will let me go...

because Maetel will take my place!

Maetel!!

There's nothing we can do for her! If she moves, Sakezan will wake up.
But we need to help Maetel!


p80
...

...

Everything's fine... Hurry up and go...!

Maetel!!

sfx: Zzzzzzz

Let's go...

...


p81
For common people, it's hard to go out like Tarzan.

Thankfully, the monkeys are all drunk asleep...
We manage to escape. Now we need to get back to the train and get my weapon!!


p82
Sakezaaaaaaaaaaan!


p83
Ouch!!!

Shoot, he caught up with us but Liza manage to escape.

Alcohol!!
It will be hard to fool this one!

Sakezan happy with you!!

But I won't let that happen!!

I won't rest till I'd try everything!


p84
The tree's trunk is really soft.

Sakezan must be just above me!!

Take this!!

Ouuuuuuuuuuuch!!

I hope it has calmed you up. I'm bringing Maetel back with me.

You dead!!!

You wanna fight!!

Me fight!!!


p85
...

Arg...
Tetsurou!!!

Dammit...!!


p86
Ah...


p87
...
What am I doing on board of the train?
A beast has dropped you through the window.

Ah! I need to do something about Maetel!!

It's way too late!
Why?

The train is leaving in 5 minutes, you don't have enough time.
No way! I can't leave Maetel here!!

...


p88
This young woman is a survivor, we'll let her off at the next stop.
...

And Maetel...?

!!

????
????

Here I am... Forgive me for the trouble I caused you...


p89
Why is he letting you go so easily...?
He told me that he didn't want to kidnap the friend of a strong man.

A strong man?
He was talking about you, Tetsurou.

Me?

He told me that you would probably become really close friends. Sakezan was starting to like you...

He ask me to tell you to give up on trying to robotise your body...
and to live in nature while drinking alcohol...

...
Ouh!


p90
Sakzan!!

Ouh!!!

If Liza really wanted to escape, she would have done it long ago. But she's in love of Sakezan...

If I never get the chance to become an android...
I'd like to see Sakezan again...

because he must be the luckiest man of the whole universe!

Yes, he must be the happiest man...

Ouh!
Ouh!
Ouh!
Ouh!
Ouh!


p91
Ouh!!!
Ouh!!!
Ouh!!!
Ouh!!!
Ouh!!!
Ouh!!!


p92
Brave men are spread along the universe. But all of them agree on the fact that only Sakezan is a true man...
