23. Battles are...Copy !req
24. ...fought by men.Copy !req
25. WarningCopy !req
26. I've never seen a ship like this.Copy !req
27. But why did that happen?Copy !req
28. They have such advanced weapons,Copy !req
29. yet they couldn't take out that plane.Copy !req
30. Your ship is amazing, truly incredible.Copy !req
31. I can see why Admiral Yamamoto is after it as well.Copy !req
32. The first wave of American planes have retreated,Copy !req
33. and the skies are now clear.Copy !req
34. The ship took a direct hit...Copy !req
35. But it is still fully battle-operational.Copy !req
36. Damage, what do you mean?!Copy !req
37. It's alright. The Mirai is still ok.Copy !req
38. It wasn't that big a hit.Copy !req
39. However, with that much fire and smoke,Copy !req
40. there must have been casualties...Copy !req
41. Deck 2 must be... a living hell now.Copy !req
42. Emergency units, medics, to the bridge!Copy !req
43. Lieutenant Oguri, are you alright?Copy !req
44. Kashiwabara, please take over for a while.Copy !req

133. Captain, I suggest that we use...Copy !req
134. ...a Tomahawk missile to sink the Wasp.Copy !req
135. Sink the carrier?Copy !req
136. Kikuchi! Instead of sinking it,Copy !req
137. we can fire a Harpoon and take out their flight deck, right?Copy !req
138. That's not an option. In the battle of the Coral Sea,Copy !req
139. the USS Yorktown recovered from a Japanese bomb strike...Copy !req
140. ...and was fully operational with just 3 hours of repairs.Copy !req
141. We can get far away from them in 3 hours!Copy !req
142. If we sink the carrier, we'll be taking more than 1000 lives!Copy !req
143. Even if it is for self-defense,Copy !req
144. it still doesn't give you the right to kill so many people!Copy !req
145. Kikuchi! This isn't like you!Copy !req
146. You're losing it!Copy !req
147. This is my recommendation to ensure our survival.Copy !req
148. We're like a wounded animal alone in the woods.Copy !req
149. We do not have any way to resupply our weapons,Copy !req
150. and we can't run away from every ship that gets in our way.Copy !req
151. I've finally realized something this time round.Copy !req
152. Only taking defensive measures won't scare anyone away.Copy !req
153. Sitting inside the CIC,Copy !req
154. we can spout off our SDF principles all we like,Copy !req
155. but this world won't understand us.Copy !req
156. Ever since we accepted Admiral Yamamoto's...Copy !req
157. ...suggestion to dock at Yokosuka...Copy !req
158. No, from the time we got sucked back to the past,Copy !req
159. the Allied Forces have seen us as the enemy...Copy !req
160. ...and has attacked relentlessly.Copy !req
161. If we don't acknowledge this fact and act upon it,Copy !req
162. we won't ever get through this alive.Copy !req
163. My poor judgment has brought this upon us.Copy !req
164. As this ship's Weapons Officer,Copy !req
165. I cannot let any more of the crew get hurt,Copy !req
166. or allow the security of this ship...Copy !req
167. ...to be compromised in any way.Copy !req
168. Captain, the Wasp is 250 miles to the Northeast.Copy !req
169. The Tomahawk will take about 30 minutes to get there.Copy !req
170. We've no time to lose.Copy !req
171. While it is true that we must keep all options open,Copy !req
172. we can't oversimplify things and act rashly.Copy !req
173. We should send out the Umidori to keep an eye...Copy !req
174. ...on the Americans, and if we can force them to retreat,Copy !req
175. there'll be no need for drastic actions.Copy !req
176. Yes sir!Copy !req
177. Communications, is the radio still working?Copy !req
178. - Yes!
- Send a warning to the Wasp.Copy !req
179. Weapons Officer! If they call off their second attack,Copy !req
180. the Tomahawk is to self-destruct.Copy !req
181. Understood.Copy !req
182. Bear Trap Open! Take off!Copy !req
183. It's worse than I imagined.Copy !req
184. It's proof that machines and...Copy !req
185. ...technology alone don't win battles for you.Copy !req
186. A moment's error can turn the tide of war in the end.Copy !req
187. Our ship has experienced this firsthand.Copy !req
188. With the sacrifice of those who died,Copy !req
189. we've learned an important lesson.Copy !req
190. Lieutenant Hutton was defeated by that single Cruiser?Copy !req
191. And in less than 2 minutes?Copy !req
192. That ship's anti-air defenses are much stronger than expected.Copy !req
193. That ship must be the same one from Guadalcanal.Copy !req
194. Lieutenant.Copy !req
195. Our second attack wave will be ready to launch in 30 minutes.Copy !req
196. Make sure there are no mistakes.Copy !req
197. Tomahawk... Missile away!Copy !req
198. XO! The Mirai fired a Tomahawk!Copy !req
199. Admiral Noyes. There's been a slight delay,Copy !req
200. but we'll be ready to go in 25 minutes.Copy !req
201. We just noticed that this message came in a while back.Copy !req
202. Oh?Copy !req
203. I'm sure of it.Copy !req
204. That cruiser is the same "Sagittarius" from Guadalcanal.Copy !req
205. Our ship bears no malice towards your ship,Copy !req
206. or against any of the Allied Powers in this conflict.Copy !req
207. We request that you stop your second attack upon us.Copy !req
208. If you insist on going ahead with the attack,Copy !req
209. then we have no choice but to sink your carrier in self-defense.Copy !req
210. This sure seems like a warning to me.Copy !req
211. It's a near perfect match with the one from Guadalcanal.Copy !req
212. I don't understand. What are they trying to do?Copy !req
213. Don't understand?Copy !req
214. They are just trying to bluff their way past us.Copy !req
215. The ridiculous rumor about this invincible ship...Copy !req
216. ...has to be stopped, once and for all.Copy !req
217. But Admiral, that ship does have...Copy !req
218. ...extremely advanced weapon systems.Copy !req
219. I think we should hold off on the second assault to wait for...Copy !req
220. ...more intelligence from the planes of the first wave.Copy !req
221. - Lieutenant.
- Sir?Copy !req
222. Scientific discoveries and Naval victories.Copy !req
223. Do you know what they both have in common?Copy !req
224. Both usually need more than one attempt...Copy !req
225. ...to be successful, don't they?Copy !req
226. You learnt this at Annapolis, right?Copy !req
227. You need courage to overcome your fears, Lieutenant.Copy !req
228. Sir!Copy !req
229. Fortune Inspector, Sea Fowl.Copy !req
230. Tomahawk proceeding at 600 feet.Copy !req
231. 93 miles to target.Copy !req
232. It just passed the returning American planes.Copy !req
233. 7 minutes to target.Copy !req
234. Lieutenant Satake...Copy !req
235. I don't think the Wasp is gonna stop that second attack.Copy !req
236. Our warning is really just a way for us...Copy !req
237. ...to justify taking out that ship, don't you think?Copy !req
238. Hayashibara,Copy !req
239. without that justification, we're just...Copy !req
240. And what about our crewmen who died defending the Mirai?Copy !req
241. Why are we here?Copy !req
242. And what are we protecting anyway?Copy !req
243. Lieutenant Satake,Copy !req
244. what if... we are stuck here forever?Copy !req
245. What should we be doing with ourselves?Copy !req
246. I'm not sure myself. All I can do now,Copy !req
247. is hope that the Wasp will stop the second attack.Copy !req
248. Lieutenant Satake!Copy !req
249. Radar contacts.Copy !req
250. Those idiots!Copy !req
251. American ship detected!Copy !req
252. A flight carrier, it must be the Wasp.Copy !req
253. It is launching its planes!Copy !req
254. Tomahawk, time to target...Copy !req
255. 4 minutes 30 seconds.Copy !req
256. The Tomahawk's target has to be...Copy !req
257. ...the American aircraft carrier.Copy !req
258. I think they're trying to prevent a second attack on the Mirai.Copy !req
259. How big is the carrier?Copy !req
260. I need to know how many planes were sent in the first attack?Copy !req
261. About 40 planes.Copy !req
262. In that case, it has to be a Yorktown Class.Copy !req
263. That would mean at least 2000 men...Copy !req
264. ...would be on board right?Copy !req
265. What's a Tomahawk?Copy !req
266. It's an Anti-Ship Long Range missile with an...Copy !req
267. ...effective range of 310 miles.Copy !req
268. 310 miles...Copy !req
269. How strong is its warhead?Copy !req
270. I reckon one missile would be enough...Copy !req
271. ...to sink a Yorktown Class carrier.Copy !req
272. You creep! Why you!Copy !req
273. And you call yourself Japanese!?Copy !req
274. Don't you have any sense of honor as a soldier?!Copy !req
275. If you want to sink our ship, why don't you do it yourselves?!Copy !req
276. You could launch your own torpedoes at the Mirai,Copy !req
277. but I think you are too afraid of its superior firepower...Copy !req
278. So you're getting the Americans to do your dirty work?Copy !req
279. What are you trying to pull here anyway?Copy !req
280. To think that I made the mistake of placing my trust in you people.Copy !req
281. I won't let you have your way with my ship!Copy !req
282. No matter what happens now, the missile...Copy !req
283. ...from the Mirai will definitely hit the American Carrier.Copy !req
284. But that sort of thing isn't what we are here for!Copy !req
285. The Mirai's mission...Copy !req
286. ...isn't to take lives but save them!Copy !req
287. But... because of you people,Copy !req
288. the Mirai was forced to play her hand and...Copy !req
289. ...take this action to defend herself!Copy !req
290. Do you know that the blood of 1000 sailors is on your hands?!Copy !req
291. Even if it is justified,Copy !req
292. I still don't want to kill anyone.Copy !req
293. 3 months before...Copy !req
294. ...our graduation from the National Defense Academy,Copy !req
295. lraq ground troops switching to aerial bombingCopy !req
296. the first Gulf War broke out in the Middle-East.Copy !req
297. We were all pretty nervous.Copy !req
298. Proactive contributions to the Gulf CrisisCopy !req
299. Proactive contributions to the Gulf CrisisCopy !req
300. What do you think Japan will do?Copy !req
301. They'll probably send Marine Sweepers for de-mining, right?Copy !req
302. Oguri! You'll be on the Edajima soon right?Copy !req
303. - Do us proud!
- Yes!Copy !req
304. And don't you guys lose the Botaoshi, okay!Copy !req
305. We're the undefeated champions for 4 years running!Copy !req
306. Leave it to us!Copy !req
307. The Academy students sure have it easy!Copy !req
308. The world out there is in a mess,Copy !req
309. and they're worried about a silly Botaoshi?Copy !req
310. What do you expect from them?Copy !req
311. They're just a bunch of students.Copy !req
312. Just worried about themselves...Copy !req
313. Kids today... have no sense of responsibility.Copy !req
314. We're about to graduate. Those guys aren't worth the effort.Copy !req
315. Alright, you guys head back to the Academy first.Copy !req
316. Where are you going, Kadomatsu? Some place fun?Copy !req
317. Well, something like that.Copy !req
318. Make you get back before curfew, alright?Copy !req
319. Yes! We'll head back first then!Copy !req
320. Masayuki.Copy !req
321. You'll need time to change as well.Copy !req
322. - Shall we make a move?
- Yes.Copy !req
323. Yes. Kohei, you've been a great friend to us.Copy !req
324. Thank you. We have to go now.Copy !req
325. I'll walk you to the station.Copy !req
326. 3 years and 9 months into our training,Copy !req
327. Kikuchi rejected his assigned commission.Copy !req
328. And right before graduation,Copy !req
329. he chose to drop out of school.Copy !req
330. Alright. You guys be sure to work hard when you're out there.Copy !req
331. Is this for real? Hold it, Masayuki!Copy !req
332. Are you really giving up after all we've been through?!Copy !req
333. This is such a waste!Copy !req
334. We only have 2 more months to go!Copy !req
335. You're just freaked out about the Gulf War, right?Copy !req
336. Think about it. With your talent, you can be Chief of Staff!Copy !req
337. Thank you, Kohei.Copy !req
338. But why?! Didn't you say...Copy !req
339. ...you loved being in the Naval Self-Defense Forces?Copy !req
340. Even if it is justified,Copy !req
341. I still don't want to kill anyone.Copy !req
342. You fool!Copy !req
343. Japan's not gonna get involved in a war!Copy !req
344. Yosuke! Why are you keeping quiet?!Copy !req
345. Say something!Copy !req
346. This is the decision Masayuki made after some serious thinking.Copy !req
347. I can't force him.Copy !req
348. So long.Copy !req
349. You're such an insensitive person, Yosuke!Copy !req
350. "One man's mistake will endanger the lives of the whole crew."Copy !req
351. "It's unpardonable!"Copy !req
352. Wasn't that what you said?!Copy !req
353. And you call yourself the student leader?!Copy !req
354. It's a matter of principle!Copy !req
355. Masayuki wanted to be a weapons officer.Copy !req
356. I hoped he'd be a weapons officer as well.Copy !req
357. - And you're just letting him...
- Just let it go!Copy !req
358. - What's that?!
- Listen Kohei!Copy !req
359. The doors are closing. Please be careful of the closing doors.Copy !req
360. That's the decision Masayuki made for himself!Copy !req
361. Oh shut up!Copy !req
362. It's not something we can interfere with!Copy !req
363. - Don't you understand!?
- Shut up! Yosuke!Copy !req
364. Will the two of you cut that out?Copy !req
365. I don't think it's safe...Copy !req
366. ...to leave the defense of Japan in the hands of you two.Copy !req
367. Come on, we're going to miss the curfew.Copy !req
368. One minute to impact.Copy !req
369. I've advised against altering history all along.Copy !req
370. However, my hands will soon have blood on them.Copy !req
371. With one push of the button, history will now be changed,Copy !req
372. and hundreds of lives will be lost.Copy !req
373. This is the path I have chosen by becoming a weapons officer.Copy !req
374. And in 40 seconds, I will...Copy !req
375. Even if it is justified,Copy !req
376. I still don't want to kill anyone.Copy !req
377. Masayuki!Copy !req
378. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
379. Just peacefullyCopy !req
380. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
381. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
382. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
383. I kept on prayingCopy !req
384. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
385. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
386. I wonder how many men had to go down with the ship.Copy !req
387. Even in Japan there will be...Copy !req
388. ...those who're opposed to you and the Mirai.Copy !req
389. The Mirai's Weapons Officer won't hesitate to take it out.Copy !req
390. He won't hesitate when it comes to protecting the Mirai!Copy !req
391. I think you are the one who...Copy !req
392. ...gave him his "crazy" ideas actually!Copy !req
393. I've killed hundreds with my own hands, and yet...Copy !req
394. ...it feels like I've just flicked a switch on a video game.Copy !req
