Galaxy Express 999

The Bird-Man of Kilimanjaro (1x107)

Fecha de emisión: Feb 12, 1981

Kilimanjaro (a different planet than in Eps. 71 and 72) was a world where chivalry still existed among soldiers. While in the 999, Maetel and Tetsuro witnessed a dogfight between two opposing squadrons. They later came across one of the captains (Alman), who bullied one of the squadmates, Izaka, for his poor upbringing and battle performance. Another dogfight soon followed, and an enemy pilot killed Izaka's civilian blood brother Kikuo for sport. Izaka singlehandedly took out the enemy squardron (included Captain Otto). He was arrested for unchivalrous behavior due to a recent ceasefire, but was rescued by Tetsuro. Izaka was pursued by Alman in another dogfight, but managed to escape, using the 999 as cover.
