1. In this place so unrealCopy !req
2. I wait for dawn to comeCopy !req
3. Farther and farther, like the sky I saw that dayCopy !req
4. What a joke this hope isCopy !req
5. I acted as if I had forgottenCopy !req
6. Farther and farther, like the dream I saw that dayCopy !req
7. I just want to know the meaning of itCopy !req
8. Within this scattered timeCopy !req
9. Along with the breath of oursCopy !req
10. And of this pain that never goes awayCopy !req
11. Even though the roaring of the sea muffles the voicesCopy !req
12. Darkness engulfs everything aheadCopy !req
13. The light that passes through our fragile heartsCopy !req
14. Won't go awayCopy !req
15. We only relied on our compassCopy !req
16. We believed youCopy !req
17. While we stand hereCopy !req
18. We're searching for the unseen futureCopy !req
19. ZipangCopy !req
20. ZipangCopy !req
21. The Arrow of SagittariusCopy !req
22. Hey, is that the air raid siren?!Copy !req
23. The men on watch must be dreaming!Copy !req
24. They must've mistaken one of our own for the enemy's.Copy !req
25. It's going to be warm today.Copy !req
26. What's the matter? You got malaria or something?Copy !req
27. No. The resident mouse isn't coming out.Copy !req
28. He comes out for food every morning.Copy !req
29. Hey mousey!Copy !req
30. What's the matter? Where are you?Copy !req
31. Cease Fire! Alpha Strike! Commence Attack!Copy !req
32. Okay! Alpha Strike, phase one.Copy !req
33. Get down!Copy !req
34. Hurry! It's for real!Copy !req
35. Run for the jungle!Copy !req
36. Get back to your units!Copy !req
37. Leader! We haven't had breakfast yet!Copy !req
38. You fool! How will you eat breakfast if you're dead?!Copy !req
39. The villagers and the mice knew this would happen!Copy !req
40. W-Where are these planes coming from?Copy !req
41. F-From the sea?!Copy !req
42. Sir! The first unit will be ashore in 15 minutes.Copy !req
43. The second unit will be onshore by 8:15.Copy !req
44. We're really proceeding as planned?Copy !req
45. Yes. But we did experience some difficulty...Copy !req
46. ...getting the equipment on shore.Copy !req
47. Why haven't the Japanese fired at us yet?Copy !req
48. Either they have something up their sleeves...Copy !req
49. ...or they're nothing but a bunch of fools.Copy !req
50. I will go ashore too.Copy !req
51. We'll need to take the bridgehead at the red beach.Copy !req
52. Sir, the area hasn't been secured.Copy !req
53. Please wait a little longer.Copy !req
54. Our objective isn't just to land.Copy !req
55. It's to occupy the airstrip!Copy !req
56. Keep your heads down!Copy !req
57. The bomb shrapnel could slice off your head!Copy !req
58. If the bombs fall into the trenches...Copy !req
59. ...we'll be blown to smithereens. Reduced to ashes!Copy !req
60. At the rate they're firing...Copy !req
61. ...even the island's going to change shape.Copy !req
62. XO!Copy !req
63. You're sure we can trust Lieutenant Kusaka, right?Copy !req
64. If the Lieutenant's strategy comes through...Copy !req
65. ...the Japanese Army should retreat and give up the island.Copy !req
66. When that happens, there'll be no need for us to take action.Copy !req
67. And this operation will be stopped, right?Copy !req
68. If the Japanese Army decides to pull out...Copy !req
69. ...the 8th Division will not send its troops here.Copy !req
70. And the First Battle of Solomon will not take place!Copy !req
71. We'll only need to lead this unit to safety.Copy !req
72. And we can all get outta here.Copy !req
73. What if the 8th Division arrives?Copy !req
74. What'll happen then?Copy !req
75. Then either the Lieutenant couldn't convince the Admiral...Copy !req
76. ...or we've all been had by him.Copy !req
77. We'd then have to drive the 11,000 Marines from this island.Copy !req
78. We're the only ones who can.Copy !req
79. Am I right, Yosuke?Copy !req
80. We'll just proceed as planned.Copy !req
81. You're talking too much, Kohei.Copy !req
82. If I stop talking, my thoughts will start to run wild!Copy !req
83. Trapped between life and death, relying only on intuition and luck.Copy !req
84. So this is the battlefield?Copy !req
85. How much damage have we sustained?Copy !req
86. The main ship has slight damage.Copy !req
87. We've lost 11 support aircrafts.Copy !req
88. And Fletcher has pulled out.Copy !req
89. The second unit has landed successfully.Copy !req
90. Expansion of the bridgehead is in progress.Copy !req
91. No large-scale resistance from the Japanese yet.Copy !req
92. It isn't just the Japanese we're up against.Copy !req
93. Complex terrain aside, this island has a dense jungle.Copy !req
94. Damn it.Copy !req
95. It's so dark even in the afternoon.Copy !req
96. The US Marines' landing on Guadalcanal.Copy !req
97. The Shoe String Operation.Copy !req
98. Even after the Rabaul Air Squadron assault...Copy !req
99. ...more than half the Marines have gone ashore.Copy !req
100. It's just like history.Copy !req
101. Lieutenant.Copy !req
102. How is he? How is Lieutenant Tsuda doing?Copy !req
103. Sir, he hasn't stepped out of his room.Copy !req
104. Lieutenant Kusaka took every opportunity to explore this ship.Copy !req
105. But you seem to feel otherwise.Copy !req
106. I am very different from Lieutenant Kusaka.Copy !req
107. I could never match up to him.Copy !req
108. What's the difference?Copy !req
109. The power that comes from knowing the future.Copy !req
110. I don't think I have the strength to bear that burden.Copy !req
111. You seem to know something as well.Copy !req
112. Right before he left for Truk...Copy !req
113. ...the Lieutenant told you something, didn't he?Copy !req
114. Members of this ship have gone ashore to Guadalcanal!Copy !req
115. If there's a change in the situation...Copy !req
116. I must let them know as soon as possible!Copy !req
117. What is Kusaka planning?!Copy !req
118. Answer me, Lieutenant Tsuda!Copy !req
119. Target spotted!Copy !req
120. 30 miles northwest of Savo Island!Copy !req
121. Entering in single file formation!Copy !req
122. Fleet speed, 26 knots!Copy !req
123. T-This is?Copy !req
124. 8 ships verified! It's the 8th Division...Copy !req
125. ...coming from Rabaul!Copy !req
126. Lieutenant!Copy !req
127. It's the 8th Division!Copy !req
128. From: the 8th Division Fleet.Copy !req
129. To: Military Headquarters and Commander-in-Chief.Copy !req
130. We are currently heading north from the Bouganville Straits.Copy !req
131. We're sailing at high speed...Copy !req
132. ...through Isabella and New Georgia Islands.Copy !req
133. Upon arrival at Guadalcanal...Copy !req
134. We will launch an immediate attack.Copy !req
135. Followed by a speedy retreat.Copy !req
136. All units stand by!Copy !req
137. All units stand by! All ships clear!Copy !req
138. Watch report!Copy !req
139. Starboard 30 degrees, heavy enemy cruiser sighted!Copy !req
140. Seaplane to drop off illuminator!Copy !req
141. All ships prepare to attack!Copy !req
142. All cannons ready!Copy !req
143. Alert!Copy !req
144. Unidentified planes and vessels sighted!Copy !req
145. Head vessel, heavy cruiser Canberra, distance 3700.Copy !req
146. Starboard torpedoes, fire!Copy !req
147. An attack! All hands, battle alert!Copy !req
148. Head vessel has taken two hits!Copy !req
149. Main cannons! Fire!Copy !req
150. Rear vessels have been hit too!Copy !req
151. Enemy spotted at 10 o'clock!Copy !req
152. There's four, no, five vessels!Copy !req
153. Turn on the spotlights!Copy !req
154. Commander, it's a clean hit.Copy !req
155. Admiral Yamamoto will be pleased to hear about this.Copy !req
156. What is that?!Copy !req
157. The ship's engulfed in flames!Copy !req
158. It's an enemy assault! Will they be alright?Copy !req
159. The Patrol Unit has been attacked by the enemy!Copy !req
160. They're engaged in battle now!Copy !req
161. Details on the enemy vessels?Copy !req
162. According to the reports...Copy !req
163. 4 heavy cruisers, no light cruisers, and 3 to 4 destroyers.Copy !req
164. Due to the chaotic situation, no further information is available!Copy !req
165. Contact British Admirals Crutchley and Turner of the escort.Copy !req
166. Yes, Sir!Copy !req
167. The enemy isn't targeting the patrol fleet.Copy !req
168. It's this convoy ship they want.Copy !req
169. Due to the delay in docking...Copy !req
170. ...the convoy is still loaded with food and ammunition.Copy !req
171. If this ship is sunk...Copy !req
172. The men on shore will be left stranded in enemy territory.Copy !req
173. Sea battle confirmed, north of Guadalcanal.Copy !req
174. It seems that the Allied Fleet has been badly hit by the 8th Division.Copy !req
175. So this is the answer. History is unchanged.Copy !req
176. The Japanese Navy will not give up Guadalcanal Island.Copy !req
177. And neither will Kusaka!Copy !req
178. How dare he lie about stopping the Guadalcanal Operation.Copy !req
179. No, it's changing already.Copy !req
180. Lieutenant Kusaka is making his move.Copy !req
181. Yosuke! In the end, Kusaka's still an Imperial Navy Soldier.Copy !req
182. Do not trust him!Copy !req
183. We'll commence with our own operation!Copy !req
184. Everyone here is fine.Copy !req
185. But my ears are still ringing from those bombs.Copy !req
186. Right now, we've arrived at Red Beach.Copy !req
187. Where the US Marines have also landed.Copy !req
188. What's most important now, is the 8th Division's next move.Copy !req
189. What if Kusaka intended to capture this area?Copy !req
190. The 8th Division took out the Allied patrolling fleet...Copy !req
191. ...in just 35 minutes.Copy !req
192. But historically, Admiral Mikawa was wary of the carriers...Copy !req
193. ...pulls out without launching any further attacks.Copy !req
194. If he knows that there aren't any carriers around...Copy !req
195. ...he will proceed to attack the convoy ships.Copy !req
196. According to history...Copy !req
197. ...after the close encounter with the 8th Division,Copy !req
198. ...the US Convoy ships will abandon their marines.Copy !req
199. And pull out of this area by afternoon.Copy !req
200. But, we can't let them leave empty-handed.Copy !req
201. Both Vandegrift and his unit must stay on board.Copy !req
202. Let's focus on this objective.Copy !req
203. Once the 8th Division pulls out without a second assault.Copy !req
204. We will begin our operation.Copy !req
205. That's right. Execution time, 0300.Copy !req
206. We must destroy the US Marines' morale!Copy !req
207. We can put this to good use now.Copy !req
208. Get as close as possible to the enemy camp.Copy !req
209. Our target is the supplies they have piled on the beach!Copy !req
210. Damage report!Copy !req
211. The map room, Commander's quarters.Copy !req
212. And the 2nd High Angle Gun Room have all been hit.Copy !req
213. The fires have been mostly extinguished.Copy !req
214. Navigation and Battle Status unaffected!Copy !req
215. All our maps have been blown away.Copy !req
216. What? Do we know our way home at least?Copy !req
217. Well done.Copy !req
218. 4 heavy cruisers sunk.Copy !req
219. Two destroyers down. Minimal damage on our side.Copy !req
220. Commander, it's a major victory!Copy !req
221. Now, the targeted US Convoy ships...Copy !req
222. ...are completely naked!Copy !req
223. Let's go in and get 'em!Copy !req
224. There may be carriers around, but they won't be a problem.Copy !req
225. No, there aren't any carriers.Copy !req
226. Or any more enemy attacks.Copy !req
227. What?Copy !req
228. Shall we proceed, then?Copy !req
229. Everyone, you've all done a good job.Copy !req
230. Our mission is completed.Copy !req
231. All ships regroup!Copy !req
232. We will turn back now!Copy !req
233. Hard to port!Copy !req
234. Look out for any sign of enemy activity.Copy !req
235. Reinforce the patrols.Copy !req
236. All ships back to single-file formation!Copy !req
237. The 8th Division is heading northwest.Copy !req
238. They're pulling out.Copy !req
239. Just like in history, they didn't take out the convoy ships.Copy !req
240. This is the first step to Japan's defeat at Guadalcanal.Copy !req
241. So Lieutenant Kusaka didn't tell Headquarters any of this?Copy !req
242. Either that, or what he said was disregarded.Copy !req
243. Arrow, Fortune Inspector. Do you copy?Copy !req
244. Could you skip the formal terminology?Copy !req
245. The 8th Division has left this area.Copy !req
246. Operation Sagittarius will commence at 0300.Copy !req
247. Arrow. Roger.Copy !req
248. The Operation is going as planned.Copy !req
249. Commander, the rest is up to you.Copy !req
250. Canberra, Quincy and the Vincennes have been sunk!Copy !req
251. Astoria and Chicago are badly damaged and immobile.Copy !req
252. Orders given to abandon ship!Copy !req
253. Where's the Japanese fleet now?Copy !req
254. Sir! At 0200, they headed northwest...Copy !req
255. ...and pulled out of the area.Copy !req
256. They pulled out?Copy !req
257. A total defeat.Copy !req
258. That Oriental Island...Copy !req
259. ...may be lacking in natural resources...Copy !req
260. ...but their skill and technology more than compensates for that.Copy !req
261. Looks like they really are formidable.Copy !req
262. My Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean...Copy !req
263. ...was taken out by their skilled Zero Fighters.Copy !req
264. One of my submarines also submitted a report...Copy !req
265. ...saying they had sonar equipped homing torpedoes.Copy !req
266. Sonar equipped torpedoes?Copy !req
267. That's just the illusion of a defeated soldier.Copy !req
268. Stories like that aren't uncommon on the battlefield.Copy !req
269. It's evidence that fear of the Japanese...Copy !req
270. ...is spreading through the army.Copy !req
271. I prefer red tea.Copy !req
272. We don't have time to waste.Copy !req
273. The Japanese's retreat is a blessing.Copy !req
274. We need to pull out our troops right now!Copy !req
275. Arrogance and optimism aside.Copy !req
276. Too much caution could easily become a disadvantage.Copy !req
277. Two things are crucial on the battlefield...Copy !req
278. ...composure, and military logistics.Copy !req
279. As vanguard of the Allied Forces, the First Division Fleet...Copy !req
280. ...will not pull out until we have captured Guadalcanal Island.Copy !req
281. I don't care if the Navy wants to retreat.Copy !req
282. But I want those supplies delivered on shore...Copy !req
283. No matter the cost!Copy !req
284. Of course.Copy !req
285. I will do my best to deliver them by morning.Copy !req
286. This is no blessing.Copy !req
287. The Japanese Fleet only retreated to avoid damaging...Copy !req
288. ...the ships given to them by the Emperor.Copy !req
289. They still haven't recovered from their defeat at Midway.Copy !req
290. They're just as frightened as we are.Copy !req
291. Food and water rations.Copy !req
292. Medical supplies.Copy !req
293. Ammunition.Copy !req
294. That's enough for 11 thousand Marines...Copy !req
295. ...to last a week of fighting.Copy !req
296. Commander, what's our target?Copy !req
297. The food rations.Copy !req
298. They've got a mountain load.Copy !req
299. Over there.Copy !req
300. Is that flour?Copy !req
301. Shouldn't we be going after ammunitions?Copy !req
302. If we blow up their ammunition...Copy !req
303. We'll definitely put a damper on their morale.Copy !req
304. And the US Convoy will be able to watch the fireworks too.Copy !req
305. For the sake of the operations later...Copy !req
306. I think its more important that we destroy their morale.Copy !req
307. Oguri, can you imagine how many soldiers would be killed...Copy !req
308. ...by that kind of explosion?Copy !req
309. But then, that ammunition will be used...Copy !req
310. ...for killing Japanese instead!Copy !req
311. Listen.Copy !req
312. If our objective was to kill, we wouldn't be here at all.Copy !req
313. Operation Sagittarius...Copy !req
314. ...aims at intimidation, not aggression.Copy !req
315. But what happens if they refuse to be intimidated?Copy !req
316. The Americans are terrified of unseen enemies in the jungle.Copy !req
317. Just like in Vietnam.Copy !req
318. But, be they Japanese or American...Copy !req
319. ...the dead cannot be brought back to life.Copy !req
320. Don't you forget that.Copy !req
321. It's time.Copy !req
322. Petty Officer Enomoto! Prepare the laser now.Copy !req
323. Yes!Copy !req
324. Fortune Inspector, Arrow.Copy !req
325. Operation Sagittarius ready to commence!Copy !req
326. Roger!Copy !req
327. Commence Operation!Copy !req
328. Commence Operation!Copy !req
329. General! I've received a strange message.Copy !req
330. Is it from the Japanese?Copy !req
331. I thought so but, it's addressed to you.Copy !req
332. Addressed to me? What's it say?Copy !req
333. It says...Copy !req
334. A warning to Major General Vandegrift.Copy !req
335. At 3 this morning...Copy !req
336. We will be launching an attack on the landed supplies.Copy !req
337. We will be using a mi... missile?Copy !req
338. It's a weapon that far surpasses the technology of this era.Copy !req
339. Before we take the lives of your officers...Copy !req
340. ...we will take the bread and pancakes from your breakfast.Copy !req
341. This is a firm request, I repeat, a firm request.Copy !req
342. And a demonstration requiring the removal of US troops.Copy !req
343. The operation is called Sagittarius.Copy !req
344. Sagittarius, the zodiac sign.Copy !req
345. A fancy person, uncharacteristic of the Japanese.Copy !req
346. It seems they're targeting the flour.Copy !req
347. It's a bluff. It's a confusion tactic.Copy !req
348. He's telling us to switch to rice instead?Copy !req
349. Get me some coffee please.Copy !req
350. We do have some on shore right?Copy !req
351. Yes sir!Copy !req
352. This operation was supposed to be classified.Copy !req
353. How did they know it was my division on shore?Copy !req
354. Data for Red Beach, Northern Guadalcanal.Copy !req
355. Re-entered into Inertia Navigation System!Copy !req
356. Final navigation set to laser guidance mode!Copy !req
357. Harpoon! Ready to fire!Copy !req
358. The Guadalcanal Battle is following history.Copy !req
359. Our appearance may not have had...Copy !req
360. ...such a big impact on the course of history.Copy !req
361. This next shot, however...Copy !req
362. ...is certainly going to make an impact.Copy !req
363. We're about to radically alter the present...Copy !req
364. ...and the history of the world we came from.Copy !req
365. I wonder how future historians will record this change...Copy !req
366. ...with a weapon that's not supposed to exist.Copy !req
367. 0255Copy !req
368. Captain, it's time.Copy !req
369. Begin Attack!Copy !req
370. Commence attack now!Copy !req
371. The Sagittarius Arrow has been fired!Copy !req
372. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
373. Just peacefullyCopy !req
374. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
375. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
376. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
377. I kept on prayingCopy !req
378. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
379. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
380. Fortune Inspector, Arrow.Copy !req
381. Captain, I need to speak with you.Copy !req
382. Appearance of a fleet not recorded in history?Copy !req
383. What's going on here?!Copy !req
384. Unfortunately, we're in the midst of war.Copy !req
385. Lieutenant Kusaka.Copy !req
386. Can you swear on your life, can you swear to God.Copy !req
387. That you've chosen the right path?Copy !req
388. Commander Kadomatsu, I hope you can hear my voice.Copy !req
