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 Nausicaä (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)

NAUSICAÄ
A path of an Ohmu... It's still fresh...

(She follows the track)

NAUSICAÄ
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.


(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-008.jpg (30k))

(She taps the shell with her ceramic sword)

NAUSICAÄ
Good sound...

(She strikes the shell; the sword does not causes any significant cut)

NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
An amazing eye... Maybe I can fly back with this one...


(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-009.jpg (42k))

(She frees the eye covering)

NAUSICAÄ
Ah, got it! How light !

(Spores are falling in snow-like fashion)

NAUSICAÄ
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]


(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-010.jpg (33k))

NAUSICAÄ
...!! Who is it?! [pause] What can it be? My heart is pounding.

(She hears blast of guns)

NAUSICAÄ
It's an insect gun! Someone is being attacked by the insects.

(She runs to find a better vantage point)

NAUSICAÄ
Oh! Sorry!
NAUSICAÄ
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)

NAUSICAÄ
You mustn't go [LT: escape] that way! (She fires a signal flare)
NAUSICAÄ
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)

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-011.jpg (35k))

NAUSICAÄ
That's...!

(A huge Ohmu crashes out from the forest in pursuit of the man)

NAUSICAÄ
What a splendid Ohmu... (to Yupa) To the windward side!
YUPA
Thanks! [LT: Sorry]
NAUSICAÄ
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.

(Nausicaä drops flare bombs)

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-012.jpg (41k))

YUPA
The Ohmu has lost consciousness from the flare!

(Nausicaä circles the Ohmu, holding a strange noisemaker)

YUPA
An insect-whistle...
NAUSICAÄ
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; Nausicaä lands and runs to Yupa)

NAUSICAÄ
Master Yupa!
YUPA
Nausicaä, you've grown! [LT: you've visually changed; I've mistook you for another]

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-013.jpg (34k))
NAUSICAÄ
It has been a year and a half! Father will be delighted.
YUPA
I must thank you. You've become a fine wind-user.
NAUSICAÄ
No, Father says not yet.

(Nausicaä notices something in Yupa's belt pouch)

YUPA
Oh, yes... I completely forgot about this fellow.
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
Come...
YUPA
Hey!
NAUSICAÄ
There's nothing to fear. There's nothing to fear.

(The fox-squirrel bites Nausicaä)

NAUSICAÄ
...!! There's nothing to fear. See? ["Ne?"]

(After a while, fox-squirrel releases Nausicaä's finger)

NAUSICAÄ
You were only scared, weren't you? Master Yupa, won't you give him to me?

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime/Images/Nausicaa/Images/miyazaki-3.jpg (25k))
YUPA
Ah... I won't mind, but...
NAUSICAÄ
Waa! [expression indicating excitement] Thank you!

(She runs to the riding beasts)

NAUSICAÄ
Kai and Kui. Do you remember me?

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-014.jpg (39k))
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]
NAUSICAÄ
tired? You've ran a lot!
YUPA
Is everyone the same? [LT: There's no change in everyone?]

(Notices Nausicaä's mood change)

YUPA
What's the matter...?
NAUSICAÄ
It's Father! Father cannot fly any more...
YUPA
Jhil...? The forest's poison...?
NAUSICAÄ
Yes... It is the destiny of all who live near the Fukai, or so I'm told.
YUPA
I should have visited earlier.
NAUSICAÄ
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...
NAUSICAÄ
I'll go on ahead to tell <everyone> you are here. You hurry, aoo.
NAUSICAÄ
(Brandishing her find,) 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.

(Nausicaä is repairing a windmill blade)

MITO
Princess! He's arrived!
NAUSICAÄ
Just a second.
MITO
Master Yupa!!
YUPA
Uncle Mito! Working hard, I see.
MITO
Tell us some more of those foreign stories tonight!
NAUSICAÄ
Ok. Turn it.
MITO
It looks good.
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
Okay, Toeto?
TOETO
Yes.
NAUSICAÄ
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 Nausicaä 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.
NAUSICAÄ
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...?
NAUSICAÄ
Grandmother, what do you mean by "search"?
GRNDMOTHR
My my... You didn't know, Nausicaä? 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."
NAUSICAÄ
"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 Nausicaä's room)

NAUSICAÄ
If only I could help Master Yupa...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(That night)

MITO
Princess... Princess!
NAUSICAÄ
What, Mito?
MITO
Goll says he smells something in the wind.
NAUSICAÄ
It's almost dawn <isn't it>... I'll be right there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Atop the castle)

NAUSICAÄ
Good work. ["Gokuro^sama" ET: Thanks for the toil]
GOLL
It's a good storm, but something's strange...
NAUSICAÄ
...! 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?!
NAUSICAÄ
It's coming!
MITO
It's big!
YUPA
It's a giant <sized> Torumekian ship!
NAUSICAÄ
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!
NAUSICAÄ
I'll guide them to the coast!
YUPA
They've turned around!
GOLL
Here goes.
(Teto jumps onto Nausicaä's shoulder just before the catapult launches Mehve into the air)
NAUSICAÄ
Teto...!

(A swarm of ground insects -caterpillar like- are attacking the plane and causing damages)

NAUSICAÄ
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)

NAUSICAÄ
It's that girl! She's alive...!
RASTEL
Where...?
NAUSICAÄ
The Valley of the Wind... You mustn't speak!
RASTEL
I am Rastel of Pejite... The cargo... Please burn the cargo...!
NAUSICAÄ
The cargo?
RASTEL
Please ... Burn it...
NAUSICAÄ
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?
NAUSICAÄ
Wait! Mito, <please> bring the Mehve.
MITO
Yes!
MAN
Princess!
(Nausicaä takes out her insect-whistle)
NAUSICAÄ
Go back to the forest... It's all right! You can fly. Yes, that's a good child...
MITO
Princess!
NAUSICAÄ
Thanks.

(She tosses the insect-whistle up into the air, and the Ushiyabu takes flight. Leading the insect, Nausicaä 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)

NAUSICAÄ
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)

NAUSICAÄ
Please take care of the rest. [pause] What can it be...?

(Planes appear, scattering the people)

NAUSICAÄ It's a Torumekian ship. Everyone, to the castle!

(From the landed planes, armored soldiers is getting off)

NAUSICAÄ
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,)
NAUSICAÄ
Father!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(In the castle. Jhil takes out a sword)

JHIL
Hide, Grandmother.
GRNDMOTHR
I'll stay here.

(As she approaches the castle, Nausicaä hears gun shots)

WOMAN
Princess!?

(Bursting into Jhil's apartment, Nausicaä finds Torumekian soldiers standing over her father's body)

NAUSICAÄ
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
Nausicaä!

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-015.jpg (59k))

(Yupa leaps between Nausicaä 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 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 Nausicaä) Nausicaä... Calm down, Nausicaä. 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 *****] 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.)

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-016.jpg (46k))
(Kushana is standing on a tank facing of them. Nausicaä 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 <*****>! ["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.
NAUSICAÄ
Everyone, wait! Please listen to me...! I don't want to create any more casualties...
(Outside the castle, the people have been gathered under guard.)

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-017.jpg (54k))
MITO
Princess...
NAUSICAÄ
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]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-019.jpg (12k))
(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 Nausicaä's door)
YUPA
Nausicaä.

(Hearing no reply, he enters)

YUPA
Teto, where is your mistress?

(Yupa follows Teto to a room under the castle)

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-018.jpg (34k))

YUPA
Nausicaä, what is the meaning of this? These are plants from the Fukai!
NAUSICAÄ
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?!
NAUSICAÄ
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?
NAUSICAÄ
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.

(Nausicaä goes to Yupa crying)

YUPA
Nausicaä...!
NAUSICAÄ
I... I'm afraid of myself... I don't know what I will do in anger! I don't want to kill anyone else...!

GIRL
Princess [ALT: Sister-Princess]! Princess! We've gathered these Chico nuts... We give them to you, Princess!
NAUSICAÄ
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!!
NAUSICAÄ
Come... Everyone. Don't cry any more... It's OK. I'll come right back.
GIRL
Really?
NAUSICAÄ
Hey, have I ever told you a lie?
GIRL
No...
NAUSICAÄ
Ne?
GIRL
Really?
NAUSICAÄ
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]

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.

NAUSICAÄ
Beneath the clouds is a terrible whirlpool of vapors.
NAUSICAÄ
...?
GUARD
Don't move.

(A foreign gunship suddenly appears from the clouds above)

NAUSICAÄ
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!
NAUSICAÄ
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)

NAUSICAÄ
The barge's wire...! (to Teto) Hurry!

MITO
It's no use, this one'll fall, too! Princess!

(Nausicaä climbs open to the transport's roof)

NAUSICAÄ
<Please> stop! Don't kill any more!!
NAUSICAÄ
Stop!!

(The pilot hesitates and the gunship swerves. It is hit and goes down)

MITO
Princess!
(The transport is on fire; Nausicaä and Mito make for the gunship in the cargo hold)

NAUSICAÄ
Hurry, Mito!!
MITO
Ouch-ouch-ouch. Princess! It's useless!
NAUSICAÄ
We might be able to fly!
MITO
What?!
NAUSICAÄ
Mito! Hurry!!
MITO
Y-Yes!!

NAUSICAÄ

Yes!

NAUSICAÄ
Come! Quickly!!

NAUSICAÄ
Quickly, get inside! Mito, ready?!
MITO
Somehow!
NAUSICAÄ
Engine full at the same time as the blast <of the gun>!
MITO
Roger!
NAUSICAÄ
Ready! Shoot!

What a world <down there>! I've never seen such dense a vapor [ALT: miasma] before!
NAUSICAÄ
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!
NAUSICAÄ
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!

UNCLE
Fare thee well!
MITO
Do as I say!! Throw out the baggage!!
NAUSICAÄ

NAUSICAÄ
The engine noise is distracting. Hurry!!
MITO
Y-Yes!
(Nausicaä stands up in the ****pit and removes her mask)
GOLL
P-Princess! W-What...
UNCLE
Princess, your mask!! You'll die! Put on your mask!!
NAUSICAÄ
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!!
NAUSICAÄ

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?
NAUSICAÄ
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!
NAUSICAÄ
Mito! Repair the hook!
MITO
Yes!
(Kushana shoots)
KUSHANA
Don't move! I'll give the orders!
NAUSICAÄ
What are you frightened of? You're like a lost fox-squirrel.
KUSHANA
WHAT!?
NAUSICAÄ
Don't be afraid... I just want you to go back to your own country.

UNCLE
The Ohmu's eyes are bright red.

NAUSICAÄ
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!

(The pilot of the downed-gunship is fighting a losing-battle with swarms of ground insects)

ASBEL
S-**** !
(The pilot drops from the cliff, pursued by Hebikera, a flying insect. Nausicaä saves the pilot from the closing jaws of the insect)

ASBEL
You <are>...?
NAUSICAÄ
You've killed too many <insects>! Neither the light bombs nor the insect-whistle will work anymore!

Nausicaä ... Nausicaä! Come here... Come here...!
NAUSICAÄ
Father... Mother's here, too... No... I don't want to go that way...
NAUSICAÄ
Don't come! There's nothing <here>. Really there's nothing <here>!
(An Ohmu larva appears)
NAUSICAÄ
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, Nausicaä.
NAUSICAÄ
No. It hasn't done anything wrong!
JHIL
People and insects can't live in the same world, child.
NAUSICAÄ
Please! Don't kill it!! Please ...

(She wakes)

NAUSICAÄ
Teto ...
NAUSICAÄ
A mysterious [ALT: strange; "fushigi na" ] place...

(Asbel, carrying Mehve, runs up to Nausicaä)

ASBEL
Hi! I found it at last. How do you feel?
NAUSICAÄ
Where are we?
ASBEL
First of all, let me thank you. I'm Asbel of Pejite. Thanks for saving me.

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-003.jpg (28k))
NAUSICAÄ
I'm Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind... Where is this place?
ASBEL
It's not surprising that you're amazed. We're beneath the Fukai.
NAUSICAÄ
Beneath the Fukai?
ASBEL
Look. We fell down from up there, with the sands.

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-004.jpg (26k))
NAUSICAÄ
...!! 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?
(Nausicaä starts to walk away)
ASBEL
Nausicaä! Don't go too far!

(She walks up to one of the fossilized tree)

NAUSICAÄ
What a magnificent tree... It's still conducting water even though it has died...

(Sand-fragments fall from above. She picks one up)

NAUSICAÄ
Just like the sand from the well...
NAUSICAÄ
The trees that fossilized crumbled, and is falling down...

(After a while, Asbel finds Nausicaä)

ASBEL
You're crying?
NAUSICAÄ
Yes... I'm happy...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Later)

ASBEL
Rastel was my twin sister... I wanted to be there for her <when she died>...
NAUSICAÄ
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 Nausicaä observing the death of Asbel's sister in his place, Asbel "owes" Nausicaä somewhat]
NAUSICAÄ
No.
ASBEL
So... That thing is in the Valley of the Wind?
ASBEL
...!! Strange tasting nuts, aren't they?
NAUSICAÄ
They're called Chico nuts... They're very nutritious.

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-032.jpg (23k))
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.

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-033.jpg (30k))
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
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!
NAUSICAÄ
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?

KUSHANA
<You say you're> setting me free?

(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/tv+movies/anime-manga/sorted/Nausicaa/Images/nau-037.jpg (38k))
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 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 the 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!

Wind!

OK.

MITO
WHAT?!

If we don't hurry, the whole valley will be annihilated!
VOICE
That's right! Hand over the hand-hooks and flame- throwers!!

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

KUROTOWA
Don't fail this time. Gather all the remaining troops from Pejite and bring them to this valley.

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, Nausicaä and Asbel are riding tandem on Mehve)

ASBEL
You think so? It looks the same as always to me.
NAUSICAÄ
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

Asbel! You're alive!

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?!
NAUSICAÄ
Destroyed? What are you going to do?
LEADER
Asbel, who is this?
ASBEL
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. She saved my life.
LEADER
The Valley of the Wind...
NAUSICAÄ
Tell me! What's happening? Asbel! You know, don't you? Tell me!
ASBEL
We will make the insects...attack.
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
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>!

(Nausicaä tries to leave on Mehve)

LEADER
Hold her down!
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
That's a lie! You're the same as the Torumekians!!
LEADER
No! They would only use it for destruction!
NAUSICAÄ
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?!
NAUSICAÄ
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! Nausicaä! Let everyone (in the Valley) know!
(Asbel is struck from behind and he goes down)
NAUSICAÄ
Asbel!! Release me!!

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.

Hurry up!

Don't be slow. Why don't you help too?

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!

LIEUTENNT
There's no mistake?
GUARD
It's a Pejite brig. I caught a glimpse of it beyond those clouds.
LIEUTENNT
Good!

WOMAN
Hurry!
WOMAN
Miss Nausicaä, 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...
NAUSICAÄ
You are...?
WOMAN
I'm Rastel's mother...
NAUSICAÄ
Mother...!
MOTHER

GIRL
Hurry!

(Nausicaä, wearing the other girl's dress, leaves with Asbel's mother)

NAUSICAÄ
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
Nausicaä, over here! Hurry!
NAUSICAÄ
Thank you, everyone!
ASBEL
Sorry I was late...

(In a cargo hold/hanger)

ASBEL
Can you fly from here?
NAUSICAÄ
I'll try.
(A corvette appears from the cloud)

NAUSICAÄ
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?!
NAUSICAÄ
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.
NAUSICAÄ
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, Nausicaä!! GO!!
(Nausicaä is pushed out by Asbel)
NAUSICAÄ
Asbel!!

NAUSICAÄ
Mito! Master Yupa!!
MITO
Princess!!
NAUSICAÄ
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)

(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]

NAUSICAÄ
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...

Grandmother, what's the matter?
WOMAN
Grandmother?
GRNDMOTHR
Somebody... Somebody take me outside...!

GIRL
This is the first time the wind ever stopped...
GIRL
Grandmother, my ears hurt...
GRNDMOTHR
The atmosphere... The atmosphere is filled with anger...

NAUSICAÄ
<We're> close!
MITO
We've cut through the Fukai! Three minutes to the Acid Sea!
NAUSICAÄ
Engine, slow! We'll descend beneath the clouds.
MITO
What are these lights?!
NAUSICAÄ
Ohmu...!

MITO
The Ohmu have flooded out of the Fukai!! They're heading for the Valley of the Wind!
NAUSICAÄ
Why? How did they get the Ohmu to <stampede>...?
NAUSICAÄ
..!! Someone is calling the herd... Mito! Fly towards Sirius!
MITO
Y-Yes.
NAUSICAÄ
There! Mito, a flare! Ready... Fire!

(A small Ohmu is being carried through the air)

MITO
What is that!?

NAUSICAÄ
How cruel...! They're using that child as a lure to call the herds.

MITO
Damn!! I'll knock them down!
NAUSICAÄ
No!! Don't shoot! Mito, please!!
MITO
Why! Why can't I shoot them down?!
NAUSICAÄ
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!!
NAUSICAÄ
Calm down, Mito! We'll return the Ohmu's child to the herd. I'll try it!

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!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Nausicaä is circling the Pejite 'flying jar')

NAUSICAÄ
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!

NAUSICAÄ
Ohmu...
NAUSICAÄ
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)
NAUSICAÄ
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)

NAUSICAÄ
Don't! If you go in with a wound like that...! This lake water is no good, I tell you!
(Nausicaä's foot enters the water and is burned the acid)
NAUSICAÄ
AHHH!!

(Ohmu herd that was heading toward the larva now turns away)
NAUSICAÄ
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!

(Nausicaä has dismounted the flying jar's machine gun)

MAN
We can explain!
NAUSICAÄ
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!
NAUSICAÄ
You'll only have to drop [ALT: unload] us in front of the herd. Carry us!
GUNNER
But... You'll die, too!

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?

(Nausicaä is carried in with the small Ohmu)

GIRL
Princess !! It's Princess!
VILLAGERS
Princess. Princess...!

(The flying jar drops Nausicaä and the Ohmu larva)

MAN

GIRL
Princess!!

Princess is dead...
GRNDMOTHR
She has quieted the Ohmu's anger with her own body [ET: life]... That child has protected the Valley...

MAN
Look!
KUROTOWA
What are these lights...?

NAUSICAÄ
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...!!

GRNDMOTHR
The old legend was indeed true...!
GIRL
Look!
MAN
It's Mehve!
MAN
The wind...! The wind has come back!
