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. - Hard starboard.
- Hard starboard!Copy !req
22. The battleship... Yamato?Copy !req
23. MidwayCopy !req
24. The Yamato? But how?Copy !req
25. Yamato... pardon me.Copy !req
26. The unidentified ship is signaling.Copy !req
27. What should we do, sir?Copy !req
28. No need to reply to a ship that's refusing radio contact.Copy !req
29. Until we understand our situation, it's best to avoid them.Copy !req
30. Understood.Copy !req
31. Starboard with linear velocity.Copy !req
32. Starboard with linear velocity!Copy !req
33. What's this?Copy !req
34. There's no doubt about it. It's the Yamato!Copy !req
35. There's a large vessel. Distance, approximately one mile.Copy !req
36. It appears to be a Nagato Class.Copy !req
37. First we see the Yamato? Now a Nagato?!Copy !req
38. I-I know this formation...Copy !req
39. Got them.Copy !req
40. CIC to bridge. Two targets approaching from left and right.Copy !req
41. Distance 2500. Our course is being blocked off.Copy !req
42. I won't allow any firing.Copy !req
43. Well then, we'll just have to go straight up the middle.Copy !req
44. Can you do it?Copy !req
45. Look at the smoke...Copy !req
46. Those boiler warships can't possibly match our acceleration.Copy !req
47. Attention all hands!Copy !req
48. We'll set up a feint, then run for it.Copy !req
49. Rudder 10 degrees starboard! Advance with slow speed!Copy !req
50. Rudder 10 degrees starboard! Advance with slow speed!Copy !req
51. The right target is turning starboard! Distance 300!Copy !req
52. The door's opening up!Copy !req
53. Rudder, 10 degrees left! Break through at flanking speed now!Copy !req
54. No anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and anti-surface targets.Copy !req
55. We are pulling away from the unknown fleet.Copy !req
56. Distance 10,000 yards.Copy !req
57. Aurora in the south seas. No satellite communications.Copy !req
58. No lost warships.Copy !req
59. On top of that, a mysterious fleet appears.Copy !req
60. I don't know, something way beyond our comprehension has happened here.Copy !req
61. Mysterious? It's no mystery that it was the Yamato back there.Copy !req
62. You saw those 46 centimeter gun turrets!Copy !req
63. What now, Oguri? You're saying we saw a ghost ship?Copy !req
64. A ghost ship wouldn't have sent us a signal now, would it?Copy !req
65. Not only that, I saw the destroyer's crew surprised with our acceleration.Copy !req
66. They sure ain't no ghosts.Copy !req
67. In 1945, the Imperial Navy's battleship Yamato...Copy !req
68. ...was sunk and still rests at the bottom of the sea on the Kagoshima coast.Copy !req
69. That's just a fact.Copy !req
70. Maybe Hollywood is making one of their Blockbuster movies out here?Copy !req
71. Then they would have exposed themselves to us.Copy !req
72. They would have identified themselves.Copy !req
73. Have we got any experts on the Japanese Imperial Navy onboard?Copy !req
74. Our Senior Chief Petty Officer Yanagi is a military history fanatic.Copy !req
75. - Officer Yanagi!
- Yes!Copy !req
76. There's no doubt about it.Copy !req
77. That was the former Imperial Navy's Combined Fleet,Copy !req
78. and that formation was a war arrangement from June the Fourth,Copy !req
79. ...just before the Battle of Midway.Copy !req
80. The Battle of Midway?Copy !req
81. Yes.Copy !req
82. Besides the battleship Yamato, I recognized the Nagato and the Mutsu.Copy !req
83. The other ships I spotted were most likely...Copy !req
84. ...the Fuso, Yamashiro, Ise and the Hyuga battleships.Copy !req
85. That was the Strike Force for the capture of Midway Island.Copy !req
86. Supporting the First Carrier Strike Force under Vice Admiral Nagumo.Copy !req
87. They were led by Commander in Chief Isoroku Yamamoto.Copy !req
88. The problem is, why has the Japanese Imperial fleet...Copy !req
89. ...reappeared after 60 years?Copy !req
90. If the situation has changed, we should have been called back to port, right?Copy !req
91. That's right. This isn't just a drill anymore...Copy !req
92. We've lost sight of the consort ships. Right now, our priority...Copy !req
93. ...is to search for the lost ships, and confirm our safety.Copy !req
94. Yes, sir!Copy !req
95. If what Petty Officer Yanagi said is correct,Copy !req
96. that means the former Imperial Navy fleet...Copy !req
97. ...has just reappeared in the Pacific Ocean.Copy !req
98. I wonder why.Copy !req
99. I'm hoping that's it. And not the other way round...Copy !req
100. The other way round? What do you mean?Copy !req
101. It's the 4th of June.Copy !req
102. Do you remember looking at the moon last night?Copy !req
103. It was a full moon. So what about it?Copy !req
104. In just one night, how much would a full moon change?Copy !req
105. Half moon?Copy !req
106. In short... I don't think the Imperial Navy reappeared.Copy !req
107. Instead, I think we've appeared...Copy !req
108. ...in the Battle of Midway.Copy !req
109. Captain, your orders.Copy !req
110. Since we've received no change of orders from the headquarters,Copy !req
111. we will proceed as planned,Copy !req
112. and stay on our present course until we reach Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
113. Understood!Copy !req
114. All hands, stay sharp and keep your eyes peeled.Copy !req
115. If this ship has really traveled through time,Copy !req
116. what's waiting for us ahead... is a battlefield.Copy !req
117. Radar contact!Copy !req
118. Unidentified aircraft approaching.Copy !req
119. 35 degrees starboard. Distance 20 nautical miles.Copy !req
120. Speed 100 knots. Altitude 200.Copy !req
121. It's following a path above our warship.Copy !req
122. Estimated time is from 06:10 to 06:20.Copy !req
123. - Get me confirmation!
- Yes, sir!Copy !req
124. If it's cruising at 100 knots, it's not likely a missile or a jet.Copy !req
125. - Keep your eye on it.
- Aye-aye!Copy !req
126. Display the image! Bring it up on the front monitor!Copy !req
127. Zoom in full! Enhance the image!Copy !req
128. It's on fire. I think it's been hit.Copy !req
129. It's a...Copy !req
130. ...Dauntless.Copy !req
131. Dauntless?! Isn't that a World War Two aircraft?Copy !req
132. Guard! Visual confirmation?Copy !req
133. Aircraft sighted! Dead ahead!Copy !req
134. Chances of an attack are unlikely, but we must be prepared for anything.Copy !req
135. Navigator, will it clear us?Copy !req
136. We've got it, sir.Copy !req
137. - Rudder 20 degrees port!
- Rudder 20 degrees port!Copy !req
138. Aircraft has hit water! 140 degrees starboard! Distance 150!Copy !req
139. Assess the perimeter! Do you see any survivors?Copy !req
140. It's going down fast! Nothing but oil on the surface!Copy !req
141. This... This is not a dream.Copy !req
142. Signal Officer, because... I'm bleeding here...Copy !req
143. Y-You fool! Hurry up and get to the sick-bay!Copy !req
144. Senior Chief Petty Officer Yanagi, hit by shrapnel!Copy !req
145. CIC to bridge, 90 degrees port. Distance 50 miles.Copy !req
146. About 20 ships. They're moving in circles, whilst exchanging radio signals.Copy !req
147. Content of exchange is encrypted and analysis is not possible.Copy !req
148. In the sky above sea, about 100 targets!Copy !req
149. Give me the ship's mic.Copy !req
150. This is Captain Umezu speaking.Copy !req
151. Right now, as planned, we are on a heading for Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
152. Since last night, several strange anomalies have occurred.Copy !req
153. After an objective analysis of the situation, unbelievable as it may seem,Copy !req
154. it appears that this ship has entered the Battle of Midway,Copy !req
155. that puts us back in time to June 5th, 1942.Copy !req
156. Our top priority now is to find and rejoin the lost escorts.Copy !req
157. We are now approaching the air battlefield region.Copy !req
158. I'm asking you, until further notice,Copy !req
159. just hold your positions and do your duties.Copy !req
160. Let's pull together, be professional, and above all, remain calm.Copy !req
161. That's all.Copy !req
162. In a bizarre situation like this, how are we supposed to act?Copy !req
163. To have arrived on this day during the Battle of Midway,Copy !req
164. it's too much of a coincidence. No...Copy !req
165. To seek for a meaning in reality is too dangerous.Copy !req
166. Hey, is this thing called the "time slip"?Copy !req
167. That's impossible...Copy !req
168. Just as I thought. It really was the Yamato.Copy !req
169. Director, when was the Battle of Midway?Copy !req
170. June 5th, 1942.Copy !req
171. But why did we travel back in time 60 years?Copy !req
172. What's going to happen? To all of us?!Copy !req
173. I don't know, but people are hungry and I have to cook them some food!Copy !req
174. The chicken is going to burn, you idiot!Copy !req
175. Got it!Copy !req
176. Distance to the battle region, 25 nautical miles.Copy !req
177. Scan for Anti-Aircraft, Anti-Sub and Antisurface. Stay sharp!Copy !req
178. I got something!Copy !req
179. Up on the horizon, there's a large quantity of black smoke.Copy !req
180. It's an anti-aircraft barrage.Copy !req
181. Executive Officer, what time is it?Copy !req
182. It's 0718, Sir.Copy !req
183. 5 more minutes.Copy !req
184. What did you say?Copy !req
185. It's the zero hour, 0723.Copy !req
186. The US bombers from Midway...Copy !req
187. ...were badly ambushed by the experienced Zero Fighters.Copy !req
188. However, while the Zero Fighters were still flying low...Copy !req
189. ...along the water's surface,Copy !req
190. the Dauntless dive bombers used this opening to destroy the Imperial Navy.Copy !req
191. It is the devil's 0723.Copy !req
192. Aircraft carriers Kaga, Soryu and Akagi were mercilessly attacked.Copy !req
193. 250 kilograms.Copy !req
194. The Kaga swallowed up the four direct hits by the dive bombers.Copy !req
195. Following that, Akagi. Two 500 kilogram bombs direct hits.Copy !req
196. Soryu was converged on by 17 planes,Copy !req
197. and took three direct hits.Copy !req
198. One after the other, the bombshells exploded.Copy !req
199. And within the blink of an eye,Copy !req
200. the three warships were completely engulfed in flames.Copy !req
201. And here we are, right in the middle of the Battle of Midway.Copy !req
202. I can't stay here.Copy !req
203. Ah, wait...Copy !req
204. I have to see it, with my own eyes.Copy !req
205. Weapons officer, to the bridge.Copy !req
206. Aye-aye!Copy !req
207. Captain! What should we do?!Copy !req
208. Are we just gonna sit here and watch like it's a cable special?Copy !req
209. We should jump in.Copy !req
210. Jump in?Copy !req
211. Are you saying we should join the battle?Copy !req
212. There are Japanese soldiers dying out there. They're our ancestors!Copy !req
213. If we take down even one plane, hundreds of lives could be saved!Copy !req
214. And then we set off a butterfly effect.Copy !req
215. Butterfly... what?Copy !req
216. In Peking, if one extra butterfly...Copy !req
217. ...is able to flap its wings, it could cause a storm in New York a month later.Copy !req
218. Even a micro phenomenon could have a big effect on the macro scale.Copy !req
219. What's more, this ship is capable of sinking even a nuclear submarine.Copy !req
220. We are capable of taking on the entire US strike force in this era.Copy !req
221. It's not just about butterflies anymore,Copy !req
222. but a weapon 60 years beyond this time.Copy !req
223. A single action from us could have a huge impact on the future.Copy !req
224. Even if we do return to the 21st century,Copy !req
225. the world might have become a totally different place.Copy !req
226. We stand as a serious threat to history right now.Copy !req
227. Then... what the heck are we doing here?Copy !req
228. Look, Kikuchi! It's a war out there!Copy !req
229. And this is a war ship. What better way to test a warship than to go to war!Copy !req
230. Calm yourself down. This is a coincidence.Copy !req
231. There is no meaning in coincidence. None.Copy !req
232. Coincidence? You're saying this is nothing but coincidence?Copy !req
233. Executive Officer.Copy !req
234. How do you feel about all of this?Copy !req
235. It makes me angry.Copy !req
236. Setting up tactics with conceit and arrogance.Copy !req
237. Just thinking of the ships, fighter planes,Copy !req
238. and all of the elite pilots and sailors who were lost in the battle.Copy !req
239. Thinking about the loss of those men is tearing me up inside!Copy !req
240. However, our mission right now is to find our lost fleet,Copy !req
241. and to bring Mirai and her 241 crew members back home safely.Copy !req
242. Weapons officer, Navigator, and everyone else...Copy !req
243. ...should keep this in mind before making any moves.Copy !req
244. Communication Room.Copy !req
245. We've caught a broadcast from Honolulu.Copy !req
246. The first report of the Battle of Midway is being made.Copy !req
247. Franklin D. Roosevelt's encouragement speech to the soldiers is being played.Copy !req
248. So there it is.Copy !req
249. I'm guessing we won't be getting a warm welcome at Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
250. Besides running out of provisions,Copy !req
251. if we proceed any further into the battle zone,Copy !req
252. this ship and her entire crew will be in danger.Copy !req
253. I don't know what the situation is at Yokosuka,Copy !req
254. but maybe this phenomenon is limited to our current location.Copy !req
255. While searching for our lost escort ships,Copy !req
256. we will retrace our previous route.Copy !req
257. Change our destination to Yokosuka Base.Copy !req
258. Yes, sir. Heading to 270 degrees.Copy !req
259. - 30 degrees starboard!
- 30 degrees starboard!Copy !req
260. - Exec Officer, the charts please.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
261. Since we can't use satellite,Copy !req
262. we'll have to rely on the gyrocompass and astrononomical observation.Copy !req
263. The Akagi, Kaga and Soryu are all burning.Copy !req
264. Weapons Officer, can you tell me why we're turning back?Copy !req
265. It's an order from the Captain.Copy !req
266. When those three aircraft carriers go down, 1881 people will die!Copy !req
267. Are we just gonna turn our backs on them?!Copy !req
268. The right to alter the destined course of history...Copy !req
269. We don't have that.Copy !req
270. Without any orders to follow,Copy !req
271. we have no choice but to determine our own course.Copy !req
272. This journey will definitely be a difficult one.Copy !req
273. 1430 hours.Copy !req
274. The one remaining carrier, Hiryu, takes four direct hits.Copy !req
275. Fifteen hours later, it goes down, taking 416 people to the bottom with it.Copy !req
276. 1815. The Soryu sinks.Copy !req
277. 718 people perish.Copy !req
278. That's...?!Copy !req
279. "Hi No Maru: Symbol of the Sun"Copy !req
280. That's an Imperial Navy's seaplane. Hi No Maru confirmed!Copy !req
281. Any survivors?Copy !req
282. One survivor located in the rear seat.Copy !req
283. It's possible he might still be alive.Copy !req
284. Captain, I can't overlook this one!Copy !req
285. Okay. Assess the situation and report back to me.Copy !req
286. Yes, sir.Copy !req
287. Advance with slow speed. Ready searchlights and rescue boat.Copy !req
288. Turn on searchlights!Copy !req
289. Lower the boat now!Copy !req
290. Hold on, Yosuke.Copy !req
291. Aren't you afraid?Copy !req
292. You're gonna be messing history with your own hands?Copy !req
293. Don't you think that's conceited and overestimating?Copy !req
294. I'm neither a ghost or a butterfly.Copy !req
295. I'm here as an SDF officer.Copy !req
296. Supply Officer, Medical Officer! Report to left side of the ship now!Copy !req
297. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
298. Just peacefullyCopy !req
299. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
300. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
301. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
302. I kept on prayingCopy !req
303. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
304. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
305. I would like to know this ship's allegiance and its mission.Copy !req
306. I can only tell you that...Copy !req
307. All of us on board, are Japanese, just like you.Copy !req
308. You are Japanese people, but where have you come from?Copy !req
309. If I were to tell you that...Copy !req
310. You might never be able to get back to your homeland again.Copy !req
311. You will become a drifter of this Pacific Ocean together with us all!Copy !req
