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. Twenty First Century Japan.Copy !req
22. The SDF Navy's newest AEGIS class vessel, Mirai.Copy !req
23. Sets off from the Yokosuka Base.Copy !req
24. But, as she entered the Pacific Ocean...Copy !req
25. Mirai encountered abnormal atmospheric conditions.Copy !req
26. She was thrown back in time to June 4th, 1942.Copy !req
27. Into the midst of the Battle of Midway.Copy !req
28. Caught in the midst of an ongoing war...Copy !req
29. What should we do in this era?Copy !req
30. We have yet to find the answer.Copy !req
31. 0255.Copy !req
32. Captain, it's time.Copy !req
33. Begin attack!Copy !req
34. Commence attack now!Copy !req
35. The Land of GoldCopy !req
36. Five... four... three... two... one.Copy !req
37. Lights on!Copy !req
38. A warning to Major General Vandegrift!Copy !req
39. At 3 today, we will launch an attack on the supplies.Copy !req
40. We will be using a missile.Copy !req
41. A weapon that far surpasses the technology of this era.Copy !req
42. Before we take the lives of your officers...Copy !req
43. ...we will remove the bread and pancakes from your breakfast.Copy !req
44. This is a firm request...Copy !req
45. ...and a demonstration requiring the removal of US troops.Copy !req
46. The operation is named Sagittarius.Copy !req
47. - Send word! Emergency call!
- Right away!Copy !req
48. Everyone retreat 600 yards from the supply area!Copy !req
49. - Hurry up!
- Yes sir!Copy !req
50. Contact each unit's radar!Copy !req
51. Beware of contact from unidentified vessel!Copy !req
52. Yes sir!Copy !req
53. Two minutes to 0300.Copy !req
54. I don't hear any explosion.Copy !req
55. So it's a bluff after all?Copy !req
56. What's that?!Copy !req
57. It's approaching!Copy !req
58. Time to contact, 15 seconds! Here it comes!Copy !req
59. I see it!Copy !req
60. Alright, be a good boy and please stay on course!Copy !req
61. General! The sky to the west!Copy !req
62. What?!Copy !req
63. Retreat now! Get down!Copy !req
64. Yes!Copy !req
65. Well done there, Enomoto!Copy !req
66. That went well.Copy !req
67. I never thought this fella would come in handy here.Copy !req
68. This makes our risky landing worth the effort.Copy !req
69. All that time under the raining bombshells didn't go to waste.Copy !req
70. Sagittarius hit the bull's eye.Copy !req
71. The Harpoon has hit the target.Copy !req
72. W-what's that? When did they appear?!Copy !req
73. They avoided our radar because of their proximity to Malaita!Copy !req
74. Water Surface Radar has picked up an object!Copy !req
75. 30 degrees, 25 miles.Copy !req
76. It's a large vessel. Proceeding north at 25 knots!Copy !req
77. Approaching at high speed!Copy !req
78. What? It's a dud?Copy !req
79. An American ship?Copy !req
80. Or has the Eighth Division decided to turn back again?Copy !req
81. Mikawa's Fleet has 8 vessels.Copy !req
82. And the direction is different.Copy !req
83. The US fleet should've retreated far south.Copy !req
84. It's an unexpected situation.Copy !req
85. Shall I tell the landing party to pull out?Copy !req
86. Verify the situation first!Copy !req
87. Captain, I think we should send out a helicopter.Copy !req
88. It's risky, but we've got no other choice.Copy !req
89. Permission granted!Copy !req
90. One aircraft preparing for takeoff!Copy !req
91. We've just finished the maintenance.Copy !req
92. Sure is hectic during wartime.Copy !req
93. Take off!Copy !req
94. The appearance of a fleet that's not recorded in history?Copy !req
95. What's going on here?!Copy !req
96. It might have delayed explosion! Stay away from it!Copy !req
97. Call in the bomb squad now!Copy !req
98. It's some kind of rocket?Copy !req
99. It almost had a will of it's own, and pinpointed the flour.Copy !req
100. Could this be the mysterious sonar-equipped torpedo?Copy !req
101. So it wasn't a myth after all?Copy !req
102. Major General Vandegrift!Copy !req
103. There's another message for you!Copy !req
104. The demonstration is over.Copy !req
105. This is a request for Major General Vandegrift.Copy !req
106. And the 11000 Marines on shore.Copy !req
107. By daybreak today, before 0430.Copy !req
108. You must pull out all troops and retreat from this beach.Copy !req
109. If you do not comply...Copy !req
110. The Arrow of Sagittarius will be targeted at your camp...Copy !req
111. ...on Guadalcanal Beach.Copy !req
112. It will be carrying 220 kilos of TNT.Copy !req
113. I have no doubt that you've realised...Copy !req
114. ...that this is God's arrow, and never misses its mark.Copy !req
115. The enemy knows our every move?!Copy !req
116. Are we being watched?Copy !req
117. The hills must be crawling with Japanese soldiers!Copy !req
118. Our smooth landing turned out to be a trap after all!Copy !req
119. But that thing flew in from the sea!Copy !req
120. There must be a Japanese fleet at sea!Copy !req
121. Silence!Copy !req
122. This is a war, not a game.Copy !req
123. Why do they send us warnings and threats?Copy !req
124. The answer is simple!Copy !req
125. They want to crush our morale, and confuse us!Copy !req
126. Send word to all ships!Copy !req
127. Search the surrounding area!Copy !req
128. Look for an unidentified fleet!Copy !req
129. Form a scouting unit!Copy !req
130. The only person who can order us to retreat...Copy !req
131. ...is the President of the United States! Don't forget that!Copy !req
132. Yes sir!Copy !req
133. If they have the advantage, why not launch an attack?Copy !req
134. Why give us the chance to retreat?Copy !req
135. Are they really with the Japanese?Copy !req
136. Fortune Inspector, visual contact with target.Copy !req
137. Speed is unchanged. Heading: Zero, Eight, Two.Copy !req
138. Closing in.Copy !req
139. Distance with heli, 7 miles.Copy !req
140. Sending zoom image now.Copy !req
141. Modifying image!Copy !req
142. H-How come?!Copy !req
143. Lieutenant Kusaka.Copy !req
144. Can you swear on your life?Copy !req
145. Can you swear to God?Copy !req
146. That you've chosen the right path?Copy !req
147. The Yamato?! Wasn't it docked at Truk?!Copy !req
148. A message has come in from Lieutenant Kusaka.Copy !req
149. What?!Copy !req
150. The attack fleet, led by Admiral Yamamoto.Copy !req
151. At 0430 today, will commence...Copy !req
152. ...heavy shelling of Guadalcanal.Copy !req
153. Objective: extermination of the First Marine Division on shore.Copy !req
154. Mirai's landing party are to move to the southern coast now.Copy !req
155. Or pull out at once.Copy !req
156. To: SDF Mirai.Copy !req
157. From: Takumi Kusaka!Copy !req
158. Kusaka!Copy !req
159. The American camp's getting busy.Copy !req
160. If they retreat as planned, then no one will die.Copy !req
161. Fortune Inspector.Copy !req
162. Everything is progressing smoothly here.Copy !req
163. Yosuke. The situation's changed.Copy !req
164. Something unexpected has happened.Copy !req
165. The Yamato is here?Copy !req
166. Don't be ridiculous! Yamato's at Truk right now!Copy !req
167. It's heading a fleet of twelve, and is currently...Copy !req
168. ...24 miles northeast of Red Beach.Copy !req
169. They sent us a warning at 0340.Copy !req
170. A warning from the Yamato?Copy !req
171. At 0430, the Yamato will begin shelling Guadalcanal...Copy !req
172. ...to exterminate the US Marines.Copy !req
173. The message came from...Copy !req
174. ...Takumi Kusaka.Copy !req
175. Comman-Copy !req
176. Now you've done it.Copy !req
177. Report from the radio room!Copy !req
178. 0400. At present... no reply from Mirai!Copy !req
179. Do we proceed to bomb if they don't reply?Copy !req
180. Lieutenant Kusaka, what's next?Copy !req
181. No, they will definitely send a reply.Copy !req
182. Very well.Copy !req
183. Relay order to ships to attack.Copy !req
184. Yes!Copy !req
185. Port side! Cannons ready!Copy !req
186. Target: Guadalcanal North Shore.Copy !req
187. 80 degrees port, 30 degree angle!Copy !req
188. Yamato's 46cm primary guns...Copy !req
189. ...have a destructive force that would shock even our era.Copy !req
190. The Imperial Navy's Type 1 Bomber carries 800 kg bomb.Copy !req
191. But Yamato's Type 3 bombs each weigh 1.36 tonnes.Copy !req
192. If she fires all 900 rounds...Copy !req
193. It would be equivalent to 1500 Type One bombs.Copy !req
194. What's more, the bombs are designed to pierce armour...Copy !req
195. ...so trenches are useless against it.Copy !req
196. Red Beach won't be the only thing to change...Copy !req
197. ...even this island may not keep its shape.Copy !req
198. We may be at war, but this constitutes a massacre...Copy !req
199. ...of defenseless opponents.Copy !req
200. Fortune Inspector.Copy !req
201. Captain, I need to speak with you.Copy !req
202. A report! We have a reply from Mirai!Copy !req
203. So it's finally arrived.Copy !req
204. The Mirai will not recognize the Yamato...Copy !req
205. ...or her fleet's intended attack on Allied Troops.Copy !req
206. None of the men currently positioned on Guadalcanal...Copy !req
207. ...that is, Commander Kadomatsu and his three subordinates...Copy !req
208. ...have any intention of retreating.Copy !req
209. What's that? What does that mean?Copy !req
210. Rear Admiral Ugaki! We have 10 minutes before bombing!Copy !req
211. What should we do now?Copy !req
212. Captain Kuroshima.Copy !req
213. How long does it take to get to the rear deck from here?Copy !req
214. For me, it's a 10 minute walk. But if you run...Copy !req
215. ...it would only take 4 to 5 minutes.Copy !req
216. - Why do you ask?
- It's nothing.Copy !req
217. Thank you very much.Copy !req
218. Commander Kadomatsu.Copy !req
219. I hope you can hear my voice.Copy !req
220. If you can hear me, I hope you will reply.Copy !req
221. Kusaka! Where're you calling from?Copy !req
222. From the Umidori inside Yamato's hanger deck.Copy !req
223. Where is Lieutenant Satake?Copy !req
224. Don't tell me you...Copy !req
225. He's being treated as a guest on this ship.Copy !req
226. There's no need for worry.Copy !req
227. That aside, Commander Kadomatsu...Copy !req
228. ...please hear me out.Copy !req
229. Why should I?Copy !req
230. All your big talk about stopping the operations...Copy !req
231. ...was a lie!Copy !req
232. The plan to pull the Japanese out of the Pacific isn't a lie!Copy !req
233. We are, however, fighting a war!Copy !req
234. I believed I would have your understanding in this matter.Copy !req
235. The bombing will commence in 5 minutes.Copy !req
236. I don't want you to die!Copy !req
237. Just go ahead and try!Copy !req
238. Mirai will do her best to stop Yamato!Copy !req
239. Are you on the American's side?Copy !req
240. To the Mirai, the blood of all people are the same!Copy !req
241. All of it is red!Copy !req
242. The dignity of human life is not based on country or race.Copy !req
243. You're right about that, Commander Kadomatsu.Copy !req
244. I believe that your words have saved me.Copy !req
245. What?Copy !req
246. That a ranking Japanese officer, just 60 years from now.Copy !req
247. Thinks the way you do, makes me very proud.Copy !req
248. But, that is morality in peace-time.Copy !req
249. Unfortunately, we're in a time of war.Copy !req
250. It's a sad truth but...Copy !req
251. Soldiers or civilians, all of Japan is at war.Copy !req
252. This was all caused by the militarists of Imperial Japan.Copy !req
253. And you are one of them!Copy !req
254. That's no longer true.Copy !req
255. After meeting you, and knowing the future.Copy !req
256. I have come to realize the mistake made by my country.Copy !req
257. I have returned my sword to Admiral Yamamoto,Copy !req
258. So I'm no longer a military personnel.Copy !req
259. As regards the members of Mirai embroiled in this war...Copy !req
260. Imperial Japan isn't the country they should be protecting.Copy !req
261. The motherland you swore to protect...Copy !req
262. ...disappeared in the fog on that fateful day.Copy !req
263. Well, then you should understand our cause, right?Copy !req
264. Soldiers exist to protect their people...Copy !req
265. ...their assets, and the country's sovereignty.Copy !req
266. They do not exist to protect humanistic ideals.Copy !req
267. As I guessed, you're nothing but an imperial soldier...Copy !req
268. ...out to massacre the American troops!Copy !req
269. You're wrong! We have to fight on.Copy !req
270. ...because there's another country we need to protect.Copy !req
271. Is there such a country?!Copy !req
272. Yes!Copy !req
273. I'm not talking about the Great Japanese Empire.Copy !req
274. Who thoughtlessly threw herself into this war.Copy !req
275. And I don't mean post-war Japan.Copy !req
276. Who surrenders unconditionally, and is shamed.Copy !req
277. After knowing both countries...Copy !req
278. A new country...Copy !req
279. ...has taken shape in my mind.Copy !req
280. An independent island, surrounded by the sea.Copy !req
281. And brimming with strength...Copy !req
282. ...is standing right before our eyes.Copy !req
283. It's name is Zipang.Copy !req
284. Zipang you say?Copy !req
285. Yes, we'll call her that.Copy !req
286. That was the name the western travelers once used.Copy !req
287. It's going to be a new country, however...Copy !req
288. ...one that even the Japan of your era has not seen before.Copy !req
289. Zipang. I have no doubt that you can see it too.Copy !req
290. Zipang.Copy !req
291. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
292. Just peacefullyCopy !req
293. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
294. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
295. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
296. I kept on prayingCopy !req
297. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
298. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
299. Kusaka's serious about it.Copy !req
300. The Yamato will carry out the attack.Copy !req
301. The Yamato's main guns are very rapid.Copy !req
302. If we don't act quickly we won't be able to stop them.Copy !req
303. I'd like the Mirai to fight alongside me!Copy !req
304. I never thought the Mirai would be Yamato's first opponent.Copy !req
305. Bring it on!Copy !req
306. We will take you down along with the Yamato!Copy !req
