A lazy captain who might be a genius — or just lucky. The Empire's new weapon won't know what hit it.
Season 1 • Episode 10
LatestAll the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. It appears that the war is going to restart, but it is all being controlled by a third party behind the scenes. Can Tylor or his former crew mates find the solution in time?
Six long months have passed. The Raalgon Empire has developed a horrible new type of weapon, and Tylor has been charged with the duty of intercepting it as it is being transported. But when all that could go wrong does go wrong, the crew members of the Soyokaze find themselves at the mercy of their enemies. As the hours tick down toward their execution, the crew wonders: has their irresponsible captain misled them? Or is this all a part of some greater strategy?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The OVA continues where the 1993 TV series left off, adapting later novel material with higher animation budget per episode.
Tylor belongs to a rare breed of 90s protagonists — the 'slacker genius' that influenced later characters like Vash the Stampede and even early Futurama-era Fry.
