1. In this place so unreal
Copy !req
2. I wait for dawn to come
Copy !req
3. Farther and farther, like the sky I saw that day
Copy !req
4. What a joke this hope is
Copy !req
5. I acted as if I had forgotten
Copy !req
6. Farther and farther, like the dream I saw that day
Copy !req
7. I just want to know the meaning of it
Copy !req
8. Within this scattered time
Copy !req
9. Along with the breath of ours
Copy !req
10. And of this pain that never goes away
Copy !req
11. Even though the roaring of the sea muffles the voices
Copy !req
12. Darkness engulfs everything ahead
Copy !req
13. The light that passes through our fragile hearts
Copy !req
14. Won't go away
Copy !req
15. We only relied on our compass
Copy !req
16. We believed you
Copy !req
17. While we stand here
Copy !req
18. We're searching for the unseen future
Copy !req
19. Zipang
Copy !req
20. Zipang
Copy !req
21. Twenty First Century Japan.
Copy !req
22. The SDF Navy's newest AEGIS class vessel, Mirai.
Copy !req
23. Sets off from Yokosuka Base.
Copy !req
24. But just as she entered the Pacific Ocean...
Copy !req
25. Mirai encountered abnormal atmospheric conditions.
Copy !req
26. She was thrown back to 1942...
Copy !req
27. ...in the Battle of Midway.
Copy !req
28. Then I, Commander Kadomatsu, Vice Captain of the Mirai...
Copy !req
29. ...saved the life of intel-officer, Takumi Kusaka.
Copy !req
30. Kusaka plans to alter the flow of history.
Copy !req
31. Instead of the future world the Mirai belongs to...
Copy !req
32. He plans to create an ideal world, called "Zipang."
Copy !req
33. What role should...
Copy !req
34. ...the Mirai's 241 SDF members be playing...
Copy !req
35. ...in this chaotic era?
Copy !req
36. Kusaka, I won't let you alter the outcome of this war.
Copy !req
37. No, I won't let you dictate the flow of history!
Copy !req
38. I'll definitely stop you!!
Copy !req
39. The Living and The Dead
Copy !req
40. We still can't verify the...
Copy !req
41. ...subsequent launch from the main guns.
Copy !req
42. The Yamato's guns have the capacity...
Copy !req
43. ...to fire every 45 seconds.
Copy !req
44. If the 2nd and 3rd shots are fired...
Copy !req
45. ...consecutively by the main guns...
Copy !req
46. ...with two cannons a piece,
Copy !req
47. the sea sparrow simply won't be able to keep up.
Copy !req
48. The only option left...
Copy !req
49. ...will be for the Tomahawks to destroy the guns themselves.
Copy !req
50. I'd prefer to avoid destroying Yamato's bridge.
Copy !req
51. Luckily, we know that their commander...
Copy !req
52. ...isn't a stubborn imperial soldier, but an intelligent person.
Copy !req
53. Due to his experience overseas, he's always been opposed...
Copy !req
54. ...to the Japan-Italy-Germany Alliance.
Copy !req
55. And of launching a war against the Allied Forces.
Copy !req
56. That, in a word.
Copy !req
57. Is the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
Copy !req
58. All we know, however...
Copy !req
59. ...is the historical figure that's been recorded in books.
Copy !req
60. Not this living entity who's outside even our radar.
Copy !req
61. We only have a pile of documents.
Copy !req
62. We have yet to verify his personality.
Copy !req
63. After the battle at Midway...
Copy !req
64. Are you asking our Imperial Navy...
Copy !req
65. ...to suffer another humiliation?
Copy !req
66. Lieutenant Kusaka?
Copy !req
67. A ship 60 years ahead of its time.
Copy !req
68. Even an invincible ship...
Copy !req
69. ...is no match for the flow of time.
Copy !req
70. Nothing in this world is eternal.
Copy !req
71. Yet we continue to search for it, don't we, Chief Kuroshima?
Copy !req
72. We lose and we learn.
Copy !req
73. And perhaps that's what we should be doing here.
Copy !req
74. It would seem so.
Copy !req
75. Admiral, I have one concern.
Copy !req
76. Lieutenant Tsuda, right?
Copy !req
77. Yes. He takes things too seriously.
Copy !req
78. I thought...
Copy !req
79. I thought that I was prepared...
Copy !req
80. ...to plunge in the knife.
Copy !req
81. Go ahead and laugh.
Copy !req
82. I am afraid... of dying.
Copy !req
83. Instead of thinking of my country, I can only see my family.
Copy !req
84. I've finally come to realize...
Copy !req
85. ...how pathetic I turned out to be after all.
Copy !req
86. And what's wrong with being a pathetic man?!
Copy !req
87. What?
Copy !req
88. At the very least, you're much braver and more composed...
Copy !req
89. ...than those who throw their lives away so lightly!
Copy !req
90. How can a man as pathetic as me, serve his country as a soldier?
Copy !req
91. In our era, human weakness has been recognised.
Copy !req
92. Now you've found out about it.
Copy !req
93. It's impressive, that you found out so early in your era!
Copy !req
94. 5 minutes have passed.
Copy !req
95. What's happening? Did the Yamato heed our warning?
Copy !req
96. - Weapons Officer.
- Yes?
Copy !req
97. Against someone who's willing to listen...
Copy !req
98. ...words are the best weapons.
Copy !req
99. Don't you agree?
Copy !req
100. Incoming message from Mirai!
Copy !req
101. It's for Admiral Yamamoto, from Umezu?
Copy !req
102. I will read it out!
Copy !req
103. Summary of our next course of action!
Copy !req
104. First, Lieutenant Satake and Umidori...
Copy !req
105. ...will be returned to this ship.
Copy !req
106. Second, Lieutenant Kusaka...
Copy !req
107. ...will return with Lieutenant Satake to this ship!
Copy !req
108. A summary? Those sounded like orders to me!
Copy !req
109. Lastly, adhering to the Yamato's original plan...
Copy !req
110. ...this ship will lend full support to the combined fleet
Copy !req
111. ...in the rescue of the 2500 men from the Guadalcanal Island.
Copy !req
112. The surrounding waters are dangerous.
Copy !req
113. At 2200 the day after tomorrow...
Copy !req
114. 2 destroyers will be stationed NE of Guadalcanal...
Copy !req
115. ...for rescue works as the remaining fleet pulls out.
Copy !req
116. From: Captain of the Mirai, Umezu Saburo.
Copy !req
117. That's all!
Copy !req
118. The carpet has been forcefully unrolled for us.
Copy !req
119. Is this the same Umezu Saburo...
Copy !req
120. ...that I heard was nicknamed "Noontime Beacon?"
Copy !req
121. Yes. That's his nickname on the Mirai.
Copy !req
122. It describes the caution he takes in everything he does.
Copy !req
123. He is a very cautious man indeed.
Copy !req
124. Send word to Mirai from Yamamoto!
Copy !req
125. To: Captain Umezu.
Copy !req
126. We have no objections to the matter...
Copy !req
127. ...involving Lieutenant Kusaka, Satake, and the Umidori.
Copy !req
128. We feel, however, that it is too dangerous...
Copy !req
129. ...to perform the transfer in enemy waters.
Copy !req
130. We propose a location change to Truk.
Copy !req
131. They're leading us into the middle of the combined fleet.
Copy !req
132. I knew he wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Copy !req
133. As pertains to the rescue operation...
Copy !req
134. ...we will proceed as planned.
Copy !req
135. Two destroyers will be sent out to Cape Esperance...
Copy !req
136. ...to carry out the rescue operations.
Copy !req
137. I am most grateful for the concern you have shown us.
Copy !req
138. We will begin withdrawal now.
Copy !req
139. From: Combined Fleet Commander-in-Chief,
Copy !req
140. Yamamoto Isoroku.
Copy !req
141. Firstly, I am happy to know that the Yamato...
Copy !req
142. ...has decided not to attack the US Marines.
Copy !req
143. Our actions managed to move the Combined Fleet.
Copy !req
144. I don't think, however, that they intend to return...
Copy !req
145. ...the Umidori, Lieutenant Satake or Lieutenant Kusaka.
Copy !req
146. Weapons Officer.
Copy !req
147. You do know that Admiral Yamamoto likes poker?
Copy !req
148. Yes, I heard he talks about quitting the Navy...
Copy !req
149. ...to become a pro in Monaco,
Copy !req
150. And that he's very good.
Copy !req
151. I don't think this is an elaborate bluff.
Copy !req
152. And he should know that we have a joker in our hands.
Copy !req
153. Under normal circumstances...
Copy !req
154. ...we would have flashed our wild card.
Copy !req
155. Contact the XO and his party.
Copy !req
156. Tell them we're entering phase 2.
Copy !req
157. - They should pull back.
- Yes.
Copy !req
158. Send word to the Yamato.
Copy !req
159. Tell them that we look forward to cooperating with them.
Copy !req
160. That's all!
Copy !req
161. So it's cooperation?
Copy !req
162. I wonder what the future thinks of my fondness for gambling?
Copy !req
163. Well... uh.
Copy !req
164. Chief Tactician Kuroshima.
Copy !req
165. Yes. This is the proposed plan for the rescue works.
Copy !req
166. Shall we send the faster ships- Asagumo and Yamagumo?
Copy !req
167. Very well. I'll leave this to you.
Copy !req
168. Captain, we'll return to Truk without the two ships.
Copy !req
169. Understood.
Copy !req
170. Kusaka, you misread them.
Copy !req
171. Yes.
Copy !req
172. Be grateful to the Noontime Beacon,
Copy !req
173. you're confined till further notice.
Copy !req
174. Yes, I'm glad.
Copy !req
175. I forgot to tell Captain Umezu something!
Copy !req
176. - Operator!
- Yes!
Copy !req
177. Tell him we look forward to his next advice.
Copy !req
178. I'm afraid-
Copy !req
179. A strong interference covered the area.
Copy !req
180. Communications are blocked after their last transmission.
Copy !req
181. I'm not sure how they're doing it...
Copy !req
182. ...but I'm fairly sure its coming from their ship.
Copy !req
183. Airon, this is Sea Eagle.
Copy !req
184. How far to the meeting point?
Copy !req
185. This is Kadomatsu. We've got 500 to go.
Copy !req
186. We'll be there in 30 minutes.
Copy !req
187. We'll be waiting for you.
Copy !req
188. We haven't done this since cadet school!
Copy !req
189. The helicopter should be just over the next hill.
Copy !req
190. Keep going!
Copy !req
191. XO! Hold on! Yanagi's in the valley!
Copy !req
192. Officer Yanagi! Are you alright?!
Copy !req
193. No, please, don't!
Copy !req
194. I'M... NOT... JAPANESE!
Copy !req
195. Kohei! To the right!
Copy !req
196. Yanagi! Close your eyes!
Copy !req
197. I'm gonna use a flash grenade!
Copy !req
198. Don't move!
Copy !req
199. It's over.
Copy !req
200. Put down your weapon.
Copy !req
201. And to think that we came here to rescue these guys?!
Copy !req
202. Regardless of the circumstances, our lives are the top priority.
Copy !req
203. That was what I said.
Copy !req
204. Yanagi, you alright?
Copy !req
205. - Can you stand?
- Yes.
Copy !req
206. Yanagi? You're bleeding?!
Copy !req
207. Officer Enomoto, give Yanagi first aid...
Copy !req
208. ...and help him to the helicopter.
Copy !req
209. - Hurry up!
- Y-yes!
Copy !req
210. How's your shoulder?
Copy !req
211. It doesn't hurt at all.
Copy !req
212. It just feels hot.
Copy !req
213. Let me have a look.
Copy !req
214. Kohei!
Copy !req
215. Did you just whistle?
Copy !req
216. What?! Did I?
Copy !req
217. You should do something about that habit...
Copy !req
218. ...of whistling when you get nervous.
Copy !req
219. I-I-I'm sorry.
Copy !req
220. The bullet went clean through. No broken bones.
Copy !req
221. Stop the bleeding.
Copy !req
222. If a situation arises where you have to fight...
Copy !req
223. ...will the SDF go to war?
Copy !req
224. Mr. Katagiri, have you ever killed a human being?
Copy !req
225. What!? No.
Copy !req
226. We're no different from journalists like yourself.
Copy !req
227. We've never been in a war, nor do we want to be involved.
Copy !req
228. The only difference between us, is the uniform that I'm wearing.
Copy !req
229. We only follow the orders that we're given.
Copy !req
230. For the sake of one life, we have sacrificed eight.
Copy !req
231. I will not forget...
Copy !req
232. I will never forget how I have stolen your future...
Copy !req
233. ...with my own two hands.
Copy !req
234. Passing through the distant time
Copy !req
235. Just peacefully
Copy !req
236. Without losing your way, you walked towards me
Copy !req
237. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?
Copy !req
238. Not being able to do anything
Copy !req
239. I kept on praying
Copy !req
240. Sorrow or agony isn't enough
Copy !req
241. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at you
Copy !req
242. We have sacrificed the lives of eight men...
Copy !req
243. ...to save the life of one.
Copy !req
244. Embracing uncertainty might also mean embracing death!
Copy !req
245. That island is still a battlefield.
Copy !req
246. Preventing history from repeating itself...
Copy !req
247. ...shouldn't be a burden to be borne alone.
Copy !req
248. According to history...
Copy !req
249. Almost all of the Navy engineers lost their lives here.
