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. I'm not talking about the Great Japanese Empire.Copy !req
22. Who thoughtlessly threw herself into this war.Copy !req
23. And I don't mean post-war Japan.Copy !req
24. Who surrenders unconditionally, and is shamed.Copy !req
25. After knowing both countries...Copy !req
26. A new country has taken shape in my mind.Copy !req
27. Its name is Zipang.Copy !req
28. Zipang you say?Copy !req
29. Yes, we'll call her that.Copy !req
30. That was the name the western travelers once used.Copy !req
31. It's going to be a new country, however...Copy !req
32. One that even the Japan of your era has not seen before.Copy !req
33. Zipang. I have no doubt that you can see it too.Copy !req
34. Collision!Copy !req
35. The First Division US Marines' landing on Red Beach...Copy !req
36. ...is going to become a crucial point in history.Copy !req
37. This is their first campaign, and they lack reinforcements.Copy !req
38. If they're exterminated in one go...Copy !req
39. ...it would take a year to rebuild the unit.Copy !req
40. What's more, if 11000 soldiers are killed in battle...Copy !req
41. ...the US Military would be faced with intense pressure.Copy !req
42. Peace with honour is the first step to Zipang.Copy !req
43. It's essential that Japan consolidate her battlefront.Copy !req
44. But we want to avoid an unconditional surrender.Copy !req
45. And to do that, I've thought of a strategy!Copy !req
46. And I'd like for the Mirai to fight alongside me!Copy !req
47. What's going on?!Copy !req
48. There've been crazy sounds coming out of this thing!Copy !req
49. Some kind of powerful radio- waves must be causing this.Copy !req
50. - What did you say?
- General!Copy !req
51. You have an emergency call from Admiral Turner.Copy !req
52. A fleet has been sighted, 30 km northeast of Red Beach.Copy !req
53. The Japanese?Copy !req
54. General, this is what Sagittarius is after.Copy !req
55. After shaking our morale...Copy !req
56. They make us pack up and retreat to our ships...Copy !req
57. And then attack!Copy !req
58. Rather than spending time and effort...Copy !req
59. ...preparing for a land battle, it would be...Copy !req
60. ...far more effective to take out the supply ships!Copy !req
61. I've had it.Copy !req
62. We will not be manipulated by an invisible enemy!Copy !req
63. I want our troops to spread further into the jungle!Copy !req
64. Relay orders for anti-guerilla warfare!Copy !req
65. Yes sir!Copy !req
66. Commander Kadomatsu, the bombing will begin...Copy !req
67. ...in one minute.Copy !req
68. Depending on your decision...Copy !req
69. I can still stall for time for you to retreat.Copy !req
70. Commander, there's a cave in the back of this place.Copy !req
71. We should move quickly!Copy !req
72. Save your stubbornness for later!Copy !req
73. Yosuke!Copy !req
74. I don't know what fairytale your Zipang belongs to...Copy !req
75. ...but I don't like it!Copy !req
76. You're playing your cards after seeing your opponent's hand.Copy !req
77. I do not have that luxury.Copy !req
78. Worst of all, I am furious with myself.Copy !req
79. For rescuing a man who's willing to cheat like this!Copy !req
80. You had so many chances to turn back.Copy !req
81. On the Mirai... in Singapore... on the Toshinmaru.Copy !req
82. But I doubt that you've given it any thought.Copy !req
83. Do you really regret that I didn't?Copy !req
84. Bring it on!Copy !req
85. We will take you down along with the Yamato!Copy !req
86. My party...Copy !req
87. ...absolutely will not pull out!Copy !req
88. So you're really serious then?Copy !req
89. I should be the one asking that!Copy !req
90. Commander Kadomatsu, let me ask you this!Copy !req
91. I have nothing to say to you!Copy !req
92. As a commander entrusted with the lives of his subordinates...Copy !req
93. Can you honestly say...Copy !req
94. ...that you're thinking clearly now?Copy !req
95. I'm sure you can hear some crackling on the receiver.Copy !req
96. That's the sound of my brainwaves going wild.Copy !req
97. It's proof of how completely furious...Copy !req
98. ...I am at this moment!Copy !req
99. I'm relieved to hear that!Copy !req
100. What?!Copy !req
101. Kusa-! Hold on! Kusaka!Copy !req
102. - It's time.
- Yes.Copy !req
103. Admiral, message from the rear deck garage.Copy !req
104. It's an emergency call from Lieutenant Kusaka.Copy !req
105. We're in the middle of an operation!Copy !req
106. What does he want?!Copy !req
107. Let me talk to him.Copy !req
108. The Mirai will fire at the Yamato?Copy !req
109. So, what is your opinion on this?Copy !req
110. My opinion is...Copy !req
111. That they will not do anything to the Yamato.Copy !req
112. It's an intimidation tactic.Copy !req
113. Meant to avoid war through a show of force.Copy !req
114. Their usual style.Copy !req
115. Yes. Their main objective has always been...Copy !req
116. ...to rescue human lives.Copy !req
117. Even if it costs the lives of 11000 US Marines...Copy !req
118. the Mirai will aim to protect...Copy !req
119. ...the 2,500 men aboard Yamato.Copy !req
120. I do not believe that they will fire at us.Copy !req
121. This is purely a bluff.Copy !req
122. On the other hand, we don't have a guarantee.Copy !req
123. What I can guarantee, however...Copy !req
124. ...is the personality of the...Copy !req
125. ...commander of the landing party.Copy !req
126. Commander Kadomatsu was furious with me.Copy !req
127. Refused to retreat, and insisted on seeing his plan to the end.Copy !req
128. Worst case scenario...Copy !req
129. The Mirai will fire at us out of anger.Copy !req
130. I can confirm that after speaking with him directly.Copy !req
131. That man is the most composed person on this battlefield.Copy !req
132. Very well.Copy !req
133. - Captain, let's begin.
- Yes!Copy !req
134. Alright, I will proceed to the commander's room.Copy !req
135. Good.Copy !req
136. Fortune Inspector, did you hear that?Copy !req
137. I heard everything. The negotiations had failed.Copy !req
138. Kusaka's serious about it.Copy !req
139. The Yamato will carry out the attack.Copy !req
140. Captain, since it has come to this...Copy !req
141. ...our only choice is to launch Mirai's full Aegis System...Copy !req
142. ...at the Yamato to stop this war.Copy !req
143. Captain, we are dealing...Copy !req
144. ...with the infamous Isoroku Yamamoto.Copy !req
145. Yes. But it doesn't make a difference who the opponent is.Copy !req
146. Weapons Officer.Copy !req
147. The only thing we need to be doing now...Copy !req
148. ...is fulfilling the Mirai's main objective.Copy !req
149. All units stand by!Copy !req
150. Prepare for battle!Copy !req
151. Track Number 1184.Copy !req
152. Combined Fleet's Flagship, Yamato!Copy !req
153. I never thought the Mirai...Copy !req
154. ...would be Yamato's first opponent at sea.Copy !req
155. Captain, the Sea Sparrow can only handle 2 cannons.Copy !req
156. The Yamato has nine barrels.Copy !req
157. If they launch all 9 at once, we won't be able to fend them off.Copy !req
158. The difficulty also increases with the 2nd and 3rd rounds.Copy !req
159. So there's no way we can win with the cards we've got?Copy !req
160. If we can block their first shot, we will have a shot at them.Copy !req
161. Lieutenant, I'm counting on you.Copy !req
162. Yes. We'll give it all we've got.Copy !req
163. First and Second Operators!Copy !req
164. Watch for the moment of fire.Copy !req
165. If we can't catch the launch time, the auto won't start!Copy !req
166. Illuminator Radar, stand by!Copy !req
167. Cannons ready to fire!Copy !req
168. It's finally time to prove that Yamato...Copy !req
169. ...is the most powerful ship in the world!Copy !req
170. The Marines had better be prepared...Copy !req
171. ...for the power of 46 cm cannons.Copy !req
172. The Gods are on our side!Copy !req
173. Commence attack! Fire!Copy !req
174. Launch first shot!Copy !req
175. Fire!Copy !req
176. They've begun! The Yamato has fired!Copy !req
177. How many?! Nine?!Copy !req
178. No, only three.Copy !req
179. 15,000 to target!Copy !req
180. Alright! Fire the sea sparrow! Now!Copy !req
181. Rear Unit VLS Sea Sparrow to fire!Copy !req
182. Salvo!Copy !req
183. - Take cover! Hurry up!
- Yes!Copy !req
184. Commander? Commander!Copy !req
185. Take cover now!Copy !req
186. I believe in him!Copy !req
187. Masayuki won't miss!Copy !req
188. He's right.Copy !req
189. The Yamato cannons can only travel 780 yards per second.Copy !req
190. The sea sparrow, travelling at 4,900 yards per second...Copy !req
191. ...shot out of the LRBM cannons of the Mirai...Copy !req
192. ...has a 100% chance of catching up to their shot.Copy !req
193. So what's the problem then?Copy !req
194. The Sea Sparrow can only operate two cannons at a time.Copy !req
195. If they fire 3 cannons or more simultaneously...Copy !req
196. I'm sure they'll think of something.Copy !req
197. I believe in Masayuki.Copy !req
198. Not a single shot from the Yamato will reach us!Copy !req
199. The only way to intercept all 3 cannons...Copy !req
200. ...is to aim for the one in front, and set off the others behind it.Copy !req
201. Sea Sparrow, reconfirm course!Copy !req
202. Yes!Copy !req
203. We cannot afford to be off by even a tenth of a second!Copy !req
204. What's that?!Copy !req
205. Retreat! Get all the men inside their camps!Copy !req
206. Yes!Copy !req
207. So that's what a 46cm gun is capable of.Copy !req
208. I can feel it in my stomach.Copy !req
209. Kusaka!Copy !req
210. I won't let you get your way in this war.Copy !req
211. No, I won't let you have your way in this world!Copy !req
212. I swear that I'll stop you.Copy !req
213. Sea Sparrow. Bull's eye!Copy !req
214. All targets have been destroyed.Copy !req
215. Interception successful.Copy !req
216. What? Still 4 seconds to impact?!Copy !req
217. Scout! What's happening!?Copy !req
218. Sir! None of the bombs have reached Guadalcanal Island.Copy !req
219. They've all exploded in midair!Copy !req
220. In midair?Copy !req
221. Were they faulty rounds? Was it lightning?Copy !req
222. And don't tell me...Copy !req
223. ...that the cannons hit someone else's plane by accident!Copy !req
224. All three cannons?Copy !req
225. Ridiculous! That's just not possible!Copy !req
226. We have a message from the Mirai!Copy !req
227. Really? Read it out.Copy !req
228. Yes! Right away!Copy !req
229. Our ship has intercepted all the shots fired by your ship.Copy !req
230. We're fully equipped against your attacks.Copy !req
231. Intercepted? What does that mean?Copy !req
232. You mean they fired at the shots that we fired?!Copy !req
233. We request that your ship cease your attacks immediately.Copy !req
234. We have several cannons prepared...Copy !req
235. They weigh 454 kilograms each...Copy !req
236. ...and can easily cover a distance of...Copy !req
237. ...more than 270 miles.Copy !req
238. That's all.Copy !req
239. A shooting range of more than 270 miles?!Copy !req
240. It was worth the effort, to have gone this far.Copy !req
241. So, you're finally bearing your fangs, Mirai.Copy !req
242. Commander Kadomatsu, and the Mirai itself have changed.Copy !req
243. It's proof that they're not gods, but humans.Copy !req
244. Nonetheless, this war is not meaningless.Copy !req
245. This will be a ritual purification...Copy !req
246. ...for the Imperial Japanese Navy!Copy !req
247. Report!Copy !req
248. No casualties sustained from the bombardment!Copy !req
249. The cannons were fired from the east.Copy !req
250. But the Arrow of Sagittarius from the west.Copy !req
251. What's this demonstration supposed to mean?!Copy !req
252. In my 30 years in the army...Copy !req
253. I have never once experienced anything like this.Copy !req
254. Isn't there anyone among the Allied Forces...Copy !req
255. ...who can understand what's going on?Copy !req
256. All crew on standby mode!Copy !req
257. All crew on standby mode!Copy !req
258. Attention! I will explain the situation.Copy !req
259. We successfully intercepted all of the Yamato's cannons.Copy !req
260. The landing party, headed by Commander Kadomatsu...Copy !req
261. ...is safe and sound.Copy !req
262. We will continue to maintain a state of battle!Copy !req
263. All units, be alert! That's all!Copy !req
264. Yamato.Copy !req
265. I'm coming in.Copy !req
266. You didn't have any appetite for breakfast...Copy !req
267. ...so I brought you some coffee instead.Copy !req
268. Where is the palace?Copy !req
269. Palace? Oh, the Imperial Palace?Copy !req
270. I don't know. I'm sorry but...Copy !req
271. ...I'm quite bad with directions.Copy !req
272. I'd have to go consult the CIC. But... I mean...Copy !req
273. What are you doing?Copy !req
274. This ship has entered into battle with the Yamato, correct?Copy !req
275. Thus...Copy !req
276. I am now a prisoner of war.Copy !req
277. And...Copy !req
278. ...as soldier of the Imperial Navy...Copy !req
279. ...I have only one option.Copy !req
280. - No! Wait!
- Stay away from me!Copy !req
281. All cannon vaults ready!Copy !req
282. I'll show you!Copy !req
283. The Yamato doesn't back down from a threat by a single ship!Copy !req
284. Admiral Yamamoto.Copy !req
285. I request an immediate halt to the operation.Copy !req
286. Halt to the operation?Copy !req
287. Do you really understand...Copy !req
288. ...what it means to back down from this?Copy !req
289. This isn't just any ship. It's the Yamato.Copy !req
290. Aside from being the biggest and strongest in the world.Copy !req
291. It's also a symbol of the Imperial Navy.Copy !req
292. The Mirai does not want to fight the Yamato.Copy !req
293. Are you saying that the Mirai isn't an enemy...Copy !req
294. ...even after intercepting our attack?Copy !req
295. They do not mean to enter into battle with us.Copy !req
296. Their sole aim is the preservation of life.Copy !req
297. There's no point in fighting someone who isn't the enemy.Copy !req
298. I don't consider this a defeat.Copy !req
299. After the battle at Midway...Copy !req
300. Are you asking our Imperial Navy...Copy !req
301. ...to suffer another humiliation?Copy !req
302. Lieutenant Kusaka?Copy !req
303. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
304. Just peacefullyCopy !req
305. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
306. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
307. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
308. I kept on prayingCopy !req
309. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
310. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
311. The sea sparrow will exhaust its cannons in minutes.Copy !req
312. We'll have to rely on the...Copy !req
313. ...Tomahawk to destroy the source of the attack.Copy !req
314. Message to Yamato:Copy !req
315. I am looking forward to your cooperation.Copy !req
316. I am a pathetic man.Copy !req
317. As a soldier, I must do all I can for my country!Copy !req
318. Everything we know is only a pile of records.Copy !req
319. They don't tell us about the real Isoroku Yamamoto.Copy !req
320. They don't tell us about the real Isoroku Yamamoto.Copy !req
321. Next Episode: The Living and the DeadCopy !req
