22. I heard there's a Navy Restaurant at Truk,Copy !req
23. ...that has its fair share of ladies. Is that true?Copy !req
24. Yes. Well, it's a local restaurant...Copy !req
25. ...called Nankoku Ryo or Komatsu or something.Copy !req

255. - After all, we are his guests.

256. Two destroyers sighted! 50 degrees port! Distance 100!Copy !req

265. Shiki IslandsCopy !req

276. With the Yamato as leader, this is the Combined Fleet Base.Copy !req
277. They train, resupply, and regroup on Truk Island.Copy !req
278. I didn't know that this island was surrounded by a reef.Copy !req
279. It's so big.Copy !req
280. That's Kaedejima Island.Copy !req
281. And beyond it, Akishima Island.Copy !req
282. This is the centre of the base, Natsujima Island.Copy !req
283. Takejima's blocked by it, so you can't see it from here.Copy !req
284. I guess it's a move to limit our observations.Copy !req
285. In these Northern Islands here, however...Copy !req
286. ...there are a total of 50,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians.Copy !req
287. That's unthinkable in our era.Copy !req
288. I have to contact the rest of the engineers.Copy !req

407. - Turn on the mic!
- Yes!Copy !req
408. Attention.Copy !req
409. This is your captain, Umezu.Copy !req
410. Today, at 0700,Copy !req
411. we received a message direct from the Commander-in-Chief...Copy !req
412. Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku.Copy !req
413. It reads as follows: Tomorrow, and the day after,Copy !req
414. From 1800,Copy !req
415. permission granted for Mirai's crew to go ashore Natsujima.Copy !req
416. A welcome party will be held.Copy !req
417. I would like to formally accept the Admiral's proposal.Copy !req
418. We're going on land!Copy !req
419. It's been 2 months since I was on land!Copy !req
420. And it's not just a landing!Copy !req
421. There'll be booze and women!Copy !req
422. This is not a resort!Copy !req
423. It's a military port!Copy !req
424. Moreover, this is an invitation from a party we tried to attack.Copy !req
425. You may be in the SDF, but don't forget that in this era...Copy !req
426. ...you're regarded only as soldiers!Copy !req
427. What's more, there are still over...Copy !req
428. ...1000 engineers on Guadalcanal.Copy !req
429. Trapped in the jungle and trembling from hunger and fear.Copy !req
430. I want all of you to keep that in mind!Copy !req
431. Yes!Copy !req
432. I have dispatched 2000 elites from the Ichiki Unit.Copy !req
433. They are onboard two transport vessels.Copy !req
434. Our intent is to recapture Guadalcanal.Copy !req
435. They're already heading to Truk from Guam!Copy !req
436. They were supposed to take part in the battle at Midway.Copy !req
437. But lost their chance when the operation failed.Copy !req
438. They have been on standby in Guam.Copy !req
439. The chance to recapture Guadalcanal...Copy !req
440. ...has raised their morale.Copy !req
441. Captain Ichiki is heading the detachment,Copy !req
442. ...and is eager to land on the island...Copy !req
443. ...to take out enemy troops.Copy !req
444. The liberation of Guadalcanal...Copy !req
445. ...is of utmost importance to the Army and the Navy!Copy !req
446. As such, I ask the Navy...Copy !req
447. ...to dispatch two destroyers to transport my men there.Copy !req
448. Once Ichiki's Unit arrives, the US Marines will be wiped out!Copy !req
449. Watch as we destroy the Americans!Copy !req
450. Officer Tsuji.Copy !req
451. According to our information,Copy !req
452. The American Division isn't just a simple recon party.Copy !req
453. They are fully equipped with armoured units.Copy !req
454. And boast an army of 11 thousand soldiers!Copy !req
455. No matter how good Ichiki's unit is, it'll be tough.Copy !req
456. It's naive to believe morale alone...Copy !req
457. ...will win the day in a modern war!Copy !req
458. Was the attack on Pearl Harbour...Copy !req
459. ...a miracle or a divine mandate?!Copy !req
460. Just how many men in the army...Copy !req
461. ...can match the courage of these great Navy commanders?!Copy !req
462. If I had a choice, I would join the Navy!Copy !req
463. If I can sacrifice myself under your service,Copy !req
464. ...it would be of utmost honour as a soldier of Imperial Japan!!Copy !req
465. The god of War, Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku.Copy !req
466. Surely you haven't forgotten our determination for victory!Copy !req
467. The operation to liberate Guadalcanal...Copy !req
468. ...has already been approved by General Headquarters!Copy !req
469. Opposition would be an insubordination!Copy !req
470. That's a definite possibility.Copy !req
471. That was the worst acting I've ever seen!Copy !req
472. You call that an Imperial Soldier?!Copy !req
473. I must say, however, he seems confident of himself.Copy !req
474. He's a tough nut, so we should be on guard.Copy !req
475. Knowing that the Ichiki Unit will be wiped out,Copy !req
476. ...do we still have to send those men in there?Copy !req
477. He's pressuring us with a command from Headquarters.Copy !req
478. What is the combined fleet for?!Copy !req
479. We need that ship to prevent further sacrifices!Copy !req
480. If we try to make them submit by force,Copy !req
481. ...we will suffer considerable damages too.Copy !req
482. Go through all the information we have.Copy !req
483. We must draw up a plan that's capable of convincing them!Copy !req
484. Yes sir!Copy !req
485. I must say, the Yamato certainly is beautiful.Copy !req
486. At 1800 tomorrow,Copy !req
487. the Admiral will be personally receiving some guests.Copy !req
488. Admiral Yamamoto? Who are they?Copy !req
489. I have no idea.Copy !req
490. But he cancelled all appointments for this dinner.Copy !req
491. They must be very important then.Copy !req
492. Captain. I warned the crew via CPO to limit their contact...Copy !req
493. ...with the local population. But I'm still worried.Copy !req
494. Well, you should let the crew relax a little today.Copy !req
495. They've been on the ship two months straight.Copy !req
496. Hey look! It's a girl!Copy !req
497. Is she Japanese?!Copy !req
498. Officer Sugimoto! You really shouldn't!Copy !req
499. Komatsu RestaurantCopy !req
500. Komatsu RestaurantCopy !req
501. Welcome!Copy !req
502. Oh, there you are.Copy !req
503. Lieutenant Satake? Why the uniform?Copy !req
504. You were here all along?!Copy !req
505. Admiral Yamamoto arranged for it.Copy !req
506. What happened to the Umidori?!Copy !req
507. It's heavily guarded and kept inside Yamato's hanger.Copy !req
508. I've been staying at the Yamato Hotel ever since.Copy !req
509. You look just like an Imperial Navy Officer!Copy !req
510. You've put on weight!Copy !req
511. The result of 3 full meals a day, and minimal exercise.Copy !req
512. Even my helmet feels tighter.Copy !req
513. Welcome everyone!Copy !req
514. Chief Kashiwada, you're going too fast!Copy !req
515. I don't think it's considered an honourable death!Copy !req
516. You're from Tateyama in Chiba Prefecture?Copy !req
517. I'm from Choshi!Copy !req
518. - I like ships so I joined...
- Hey hey...Copy !req
519. ...we don't need to hear about that now.Copy !req
520. Chief Sugimoto. How old do you think she is?Copy !req
521. She's very young. Probably around twenty.Copy !req
522. Right now, it's the 17th Showa year.Copy !req
523. So if she's twenty now...Copy !req
524. Then she was... born in the 11th Taisho year?!!Copy !req
525. That's the same year as my late grandmother.Copy !req
526. What?!Copy !req
527. Here's some coffee. It's Mandarin.Copy !req
528. Oh, thanks, Lieutenant Momoi.Copy !req
529. Those guys must be having a good time right now.Copy !req
530. It's good for them to unwind a little.Copy !req
531. But I'm worried that it might make them homesick.Copy !req
532. But I'm glad Chief Yanagi was admitted to a hospital.Copy !req
533. Yes.Copy !req
534. You're thinking about Lieutenant Kusaka, aren't you.Copy !req
535. You're wondering how you should deal with him tomorrow.Copy !req
536. You're sitting in front of me, but your heart's elsewhere.Copy !req
537. My my, gentlemen,Copy !req
538. I thought you came ashore to have a good time tonight!Copy !req
539. Here, have a drink.Copy !req
540. Yes. Thank you.Copy !req
541. He should be turning 60 next year.Copy !req
542. Yet he looks so youthful.Copy !req
543. It's gotten quiet all of a sudden.Copy !req
544. Japan is about 10 days by ship from here.Copy !req
545. But our home might as well be a thousand light years away.Copy !req
546. Japan, 60 years from now.Copy !req
547. I found it hard to believe when Kusaka first told me.Copy !req
548. But meeting you makes this all feel like a reunion.Copy !req
549. By the way, Mr. Umezu.Copy !req
550. Yes?Copy !req
551. When am I going to die?Copy !req
552. You don't have to answer.Copy !req
553. Even if I survive this war, I'll probably...Copy !req
554. ...end up in exile in the mountains of St. Helena.Copy !req
555. The 18th of April, 18th Showa year.Copy !req
556. You'll die in the skies above Bouganville Island.Copy !req
557. That's good.Copy !req
558. So I'm at the frontline, in a plane, correct?Copy !req
559. I suppose that would mean...Copy !req
560. ...that I have 8 more months.Copy !req
561. The Ichiki Unit that will enter Guadalcanal...Copy !req
562. ...has already set off for Truk from Guam.Copy !req
563. And I don't have the power to stop them.Copy !req
564. There isn't much time left.Copy !req
565. Aside from avoiding this useless and devastating battle,Copy !req
566. Japan also needs...Copy !req
567. ...to shrink her battlefront in the Pacific Ocean and China.Copy !req
568. And,Copy !req
569. we'll need your help to obtain an early peace treaty.Copy !req
570. Admiral Yamamoto.Copy !req
571. I regret to say that the Mirai lacks a chain of command.Copy !req
572. Yet, our strength is incredibly dangerous in this era.Copy !req
573. There are no words to express our uneasiness.Copy !req
574. That's why it's essential...Copy !req
575. ...that no one else gains control of the Mirai.Copy !req
576. As captain of the Mirai, this is my foremost responsibility.Copy !req
577. There is, however, something I need to clarify.Copy !req
578. I cannot simply ignore the countless people...Copy !req
579. ...who survive on the belief that tomorrow will be better.Copy !req
580. It would be selfish to think only of...Copy !req
581. ...ourselves and change history...Copy !req
582. ...as if we were moving chess pieces.Copy !req
583. This is about Kusaka, isn't it?Copy !req
584. Let's break in now. Press forward.Copy !req
585. Uninvited guests pretending to be drunk are never welcome.Copy !req
586. Please come with me, Lieutenant Tsuji.Copy !req
587. A-And who are you?!Copy !req
588. How dare you! I was sent here by the General Headquarters!Copy !req
589. You were third in your class at the Army Cadet University.Copy !req
590. You're a member of the "Imperial Sword Group."Copy !req
591. They call you "God of Strategy",Copy !req
592. ...recognised by Prime Minister Tojo.Copy !req
593. You commanded in...Copy !req
594. ...the Russo-Japanese War and the Nomonhan Incident.Copy !req
595. During the Malaysian Incident,Copy !req
596. ...you created the Japanese "Blitzkrieg."Copy !req
597. You're no civilian.Copy !req
598. Let me take you somewhere more appropriate.Copy !req
599. Please follow me.Copy !req
600. Why did you bring me out to sea?!Copy !req
601. Tsuji Masanobu won't go down without a fight!Copy !req
602. Mr. Tsuji, have you ever used that excellent mind of yours...Copy !req
603. ...to imagine what the future will be like?Copy !req
604. The future?!Copy !req
605. Who cares! The Imperial Army will crush the Allied Forces!Copy !req
606. Germany and us will be the dictators of the world!Copy !req
607. What proof do you have?Copy !req
608. My army has absolute faith in their vision of victory!Copy !req
609. Your cowardice tells me you're from the Navy!Copy !req
610. You should be ashamed, you hear?Copy !req
611. I'm surprised someone so talented lacks foresight.Copy !req
612. What!?Copy !req
613. We've reached our destination.Copy !req
614. This symbolises the fall of the Japanese Empire.Copy !req
615. A cruiser? But the shape's very odd.Copy !req
616. We're messengers from Japan, 60 years in the future.Copy !req
617. S-Sixty years?!Copy !req
618. She's called the "Mirai."Copy !req
619. What are you talking about?!Copy !req
620. Right now, it may sound like a fairytale...Copy !req
621. ...but in three years' time, the Japanese empire...Copy !req
622. ...will surrender unconditionally to the Allied Forces.Copy !req
623. I should have died at Midway, but that ship rescued me.Copy !req
624. I read about the future in their library.Copy !req
625. Does he really think I'm going to buy this garbage?Copy !req
626. But I do have to wonder if this was the unidentified vessel...Copy !req
627. ...spotted in the Malaysian waters near Anambas.Copy !req
628. Fortunately for you, you will survive this war.Copy !req
629. But, because of your persistent efforts in the Army.Copy !req
630. And repeated aggression against the Allied Forces.Copy !req
631. Countless lives will be sacrificed for nothing.Copy !req
632. If you were to die here and now,Copy !req
633. many would be spared a similar fate.Copy !req
634. Why you!! Think of the soldiers fighting in China...Copy !req
635. ...and New Guinea and Burma! You should be ashamed!Copy !req
636. We may not match them in raw materials...Copy !req
637. ...and military strength...Copy !req
638. ...but you can't win a war on those alone!Copy !req
639. Unlike finite resources, the human spirit is boundless!Copy !req
640. Our absolute faith in victory...Copy !req
641. ...is the greatest weapon that we possess!Copy !req
642. If your absolute faith helps you dodge this bullet...Copy !req
643. ...then I too will believe in the human spirit.Copy !req
644. I can empathize with Kusaka and his dilemma.Copy !req
645. There is no going back to ignorance after truth.Copy !req
646. When the pain of crisis becomes overwhelming...Copy !req
647. ...humans have only two choices.Copy !req
648. The first is absolute denial.Copy !req
649. The second is to attempt to correct mistakes...Copy !req
650. ...through one's foolish ideals.Copy !req
651. You were adhering to your ideals...Copy !req
652. ...when you point your gun at the Yamato.Copy !req
653. So, Admiral, you want me to trust Kusaka?Copy !req
654. You have requested that we hand over Kusaka...Copy !req
655. ...but, I'd like to keep him here for the moment.Copy !req
656. Of course, I support his idea of an early peace treaty.Copy !req
657. He is, however, an impatient man.Copy !req
658. Well then, what would you like us to do?Copy !req
659. Mr. Umezu. A country is composed of its residents.Copy !req
660. In order to rescue Japan from tragedy,Copy !req
661. ...we will have to change the thinking of its people.Copy !req
662. Your existence will make a far greater impact...Copy !req
663. ...than all the cannons on the Yamato.Copy !req
664. Convincing the upper authorities won't be a problem.Copy !req
665. I can secretly arrange for your ship to dock here.Copy !req
666. And provide accommodation for all your crew members.Copy !req
667. It's important that a crew is well rested.Copy !req
668. And a home port is necessary for maintenance and supplies.Copy !req
669. You're suggesting Truk as a home port?Copy !req
670. No, Yokosuka.Copy !req
671. I'm suggesting the place you set out from.Copy !req
672. I am alive though I should be dead.Copy !req
673. You have just died once as well.Copy !req
674. Since we're on equal ground, I have a request.Copy !req
675. W-What is it?Copy !req
676. I need to return to Tokyo.Copy !req
677. I'll need your authorization for that.Copy !req
678. W-What are you planning?!Copy !req
679. There is someone whom I have to talk to.Copy !req
680. Who do you mean?Copy !req
681. The very same man who started this war.Copy !req
682. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
683. Just peacefullyCopy !req
684. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
685. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
686. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
687. I kept on prayingCopy !req
688. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
689. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
690. If that's not the Guadalcanal Operation, what is?!Copy !req
691. It's Kusaka who started all this!Copy !req
692. To obtain his ideals, a man will betray his benefactors.Copy !req
693. And sacrifice his most trusted subordinates.Copy !req
694. We have to stop running away.Copy !req
695. The time has come for us to face the truth.Copy !req
696. No matter where you go, even to the ends of the earth...Copy !req
697. I will hunt you down!Copy !req
