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. In modern day Japan,Copy !req
22. The Self Defense Force Navy's newest AEGIS class vessel,Copy !req
23. the Mirai, set off from the Yokosuka Base.Copy !req
24. Just as we reached deep water,Copy !req
25. the Mirai was struck by a strange weather anomaly...Copy !req
26. ...that transported us through time back to June 4th, 1942,Copy !req
27. right in the middle of World War II.Copy !req
28. My name is Yosuke Kadomatsu and I am the Mirai's XO,Copy !req
29. the second in command.Copy !req
30. I rescued an Imperial Navy intelligence officer named...Copy !req
31. ...Takumi Kusaka from certain death.Copy !req
32. Kusaka is now trying to change the course of history...Copy !req
33. ...in order to create a new future different from our own;Copy !req
34. a new world known as Zipang.Copy !req
35. What should all 240 SDF crew of the Mirai...Copy !req
36. ...be doing in response?Copy !req
37. We have yet to find the answer.Copy !req
38. The Dead And The AliveCopy !req
39. Welcome back on board, Commander.Copy !req
40. - You too, Yanagi.
- Sir.Copy !req
41. Captain, how badly were we hit?Copy !req
42. 5 fatalities.Copy !req
43. And 12 more in critical condition.Copy !req
44. 5... fatalities?Copy !req
45. It's all my fault!Copy !req
46. I shouldn't have gone out to that submarine.Copy !req
47. I was the one who gave the order for you to go to the Sub.Copy !req
48. I'll take full responsibility for it.Copy !req
49. And also...Copy !req
50. That Navy Officer.Copy !req
51. Even in Japan there will be those...Copy !req
52. ...who're opposed to you and the Mirai.Copy !req
53. That was what he said to me.Copy !req
54. I see.Copy !req
55. The Japan that we are headed for...Copy !req
56. ...may very well be like a foreign country to us after all.Copy !req
57. Even so, every ship needs a port.Copy !req
58. Commander, whatever awaits us at Yokosuka,Copy !req
59. we will find out when we get there.Copy !req
60. Sir! I agree fully.Copy !req
61. Good job, both of you.Copy !req
62. Go and get some rest.Copy !req
63. Sir!Copy !req
64. Darn it!Copy !req
65. Those demons!Copy !req
66. There are 6 launchers in the rear deck,Copy !req
67. is that correct?Copy !req
68. 6 launchers... No... There might have been more.Copy !req
69. There was one main gun,Copy !req
70. and in the rear structure, there's about 10 launchers.Copy !req
71. All vertical launch systems, right?Copy !req
72. Yes. And the rockets chased after the planes!Copy !req
73. - Hutton.
- Yes...Copy !req
74. It's as if the rockets were alive.Copy !req
75. Jones!!Copy !req
76. J-Jones!?Copy !req
77. Hutton, get some rest.Copy !req
78. We'll do this tomorrow.Copy !req
79. In just 2 minutes, 30 planes went down.Copy !req
80. And with just one rocket from them,Copy !req
81. the Wasp was!Copy !req
82. Lieutenant,Copy !req
83. the United States Navy...Copy !req
84. Against that monster...Copy !req
85. We don't have a chance.Copy !req
86. Hutton.Copy !req
87. You must not say that to anyone, no matter what.Copy !req
88. The smell of blood has lured...Copy !req
89. ...these mosquitoes to the wounded.Copy !req
90. Some are too weak to even try to fend them off.Copy !req
91. We've run out of rice,Copy !req
92. and all we now have for food are weeds,Copy !req
93. some rotten coconuts, and if we're lucky, sweet potatoes.Copy !req
94. What's more,Copy !req
95. we're out of malaria medicine and mosquito nets.Copy !req
96. Even Tsuji, who was in such high spirits when he arrived,Copy !req
97. is now just a shell of a man.Copy !req
98. Tsuji Masanobu, the Commander in the Nomohan Incident,Copy !req
99. known as the God of Strategy after the Malayan Conquest...Copy !req
100. Even a man like him...Copy !req
101. ...is unable to turn the tide here.Copy !req
102. Mr. Kadomatsu,Copy !req
103. Guadalcanal is turning into a hell just as you predicted.Copy !req
104. 30 hours,Copy !req
105. communications received an incoming message...Copy !req
106. ...from a submarine!Copy !req
107. The rest of Ichiki's men will not be landing at Guadalcanal.Copy !req
108. They're making a retreat!Copy !req
109. The only person who is capable of...Copy !req
110. ...preventing the eventual unconditional surrender of Japan,Copy !req
111. is you, Chief Tsuji Masanobu!Copy !req
112. So are you asking me to lead our forces on Guadalcanal then?Copy !req
113. Guadalcanal is the decisive battle...Copy !req
114. ...that will decide the outcome of this war.Copy !req
115. Only you may be able to secure a victory.Copy !req
116. The Japanese Soldiers are the strongest in the world!Copy !req
117. We have nothing to fear!Copy !req
118. We will wipe out all the Americans!!Copy !req
119. Forward!!Copy !req
120. I was tricked by that man!Copy !req
121. He told me this was my big chance!Copy !req
122. He said that if I were able to be victorious here,Copy !req
123. I would become the national hero that...Copy !req
124. ...rescued Japan from defeat.Copy !req
125. Ridiculous stories about a ship from 60 years into the future?!Copy !req
126. How did I fall for that?!Copy !req
127. I fell for his silly stories, and now look where I am!Copy !req
128. L-Look at the pathetic state I'm in now!!Copy !req
129. I also met a man.Copy !req
130. A crewman from that ship.Copy !req
131. According to that man,Copy !req
132. the battle of Guadalcanal will be a huge defeat.Copy !req
133. 21 thousand soldiers and...Copy !req
134. ...4 thousand naval officers...Copy !req
135. ...will die here, mainly from disease and hunger.Copy !req
136. Even though we are in dire straits...Copy !req
137. ...without food or medicine, the Imperial High Command...Copy !req
138. ...fails to understand and will not send us supplies.Copy !req
139. Without more food and ammo,Copy !req
140. the Japanese soldiers will surely be devoured by...Copy !req
141. ...the mosquitoes and ants on this island.Copy !req
142. That was what he told me.Copy !req
143. Lieutenant Okamura,Copy !req
144. do you believe what that man said?Copy !req
145. I only met him briefly,Copy !req
146. but I felt he was a good man whom I could trust.Copy !req
147. No, whoever that man was,Copy !req
148. there's nothing to do but to believe him,Copy !req
149. as everything that he predicted is coming to pass.Copy !req
150. Captain Tsuji,Copy !req
151. is there anything that we can do to reduce casualties?Copy !req
152. Sir!Copy !req
153. Enemy troops discovered...Copy !req
154. ...crossing the Matanikau River!Copy !req
155. Company-strength with 3 tanks!Copy !req
156. Good job! They've come...Copy !req
157. All troops prepare to retreat!Copy !req
158. We must fall back!Copy !req
159. Carry all the sick and wounded if you have to!Copy !req
160. - Leave no one behind!
- Sir!Copy !req
161. Captain?Copy !req
162. Captain Tsuji!Copy !req
163. I no longer care whether Japan wins or loses in this war.Copy !req
164. Victory and defeat are...Copy !req
165. ...nothing but mere illusions to me now.Copy !req
166. Please come with me, Captain Tsuji!Copy !req
167. This isn't like you!Copy !req
168. I think I shall die right here!Copy !req
169. Together with the spirit of our brave troops...Copy !req
170. What're you talking about?!Copy !req
171. I don't care if you choose to die here,Copy !req
172. but you're a Japanese officer with responsibilities!Copy !req
173. If you die, you'll cause problems for us!Copy !req
174. Your mission is to make a report on Guadalcanal to the...Copy !req
175. ...Imperial High Command about our hopeless position!Copy !req
176. If it's a report from the "Hero of Malaya",Copy !req
177. everyone's sure to listen!Copy !req
178. Get a hold of yourself, man!Copy !req
179. You have to put a stop to this mission and get us out of here!Copy !req
180. Victory or defeat doesn't matter now!Copy !req
181. What's important is that we survive!Copy !req
182. You're the only one here who can save...Copy !req
183. ...the lives of our 25 thousand men!!Copy !req
184. I understand now!Copy !req
185. The deed of valor that Kusaka mentioned...Copy !req
186. ...isn't winning this battle!Copy !req
187. It's to save the lives of 25 thousand men!Copy !req
188. To convince High Command to evacuate us,Copy !req
189. and avoid a total defeat on this damn island!Copy !req
190. That's equivalent to a victory!Copy !req
191. It's dangerous to stay here, Lieutenant Okamura!Copy !req
192. Let's go!! Hurry up!Copy !req
193. It's about time he got his act together...Copy !req
194. Mr. Kadomatsu,Copy !req
195. it looks like we still have a choice in determining our future.Copy !req
196. Let us all live our lives without any regrets.Copy !req
197. We'll retreat now!Copy !req
198. Come on and move!!Copy !req
199. If you can't walk, speak up!Copy !req
200. No one is to be left behind, you hear!!Copy !req
201. Is Kikuchi in the CIC?Copy !req
202. No, he's in his room.Copy !req
203. - He's asleep.
- He's asleep?Copy !req
204. Yes.Copy !req
205. I asked the medics to...Copy !req
206. ...give him a sedative.Copy !req
207. Right now, he's feeling guilt like we did after Guadalcanal.Copy !req
208. I'll go check on the injured.Copy !req
209. What are we going to do now, I wonder?Copy !req
210. Oh, according to history,Copy !req
211. - the American Pacific fleet will...
- I'm not talking about that.Copy !req
212. We've realized the ugly truth.Copy !req
213. To survive in this era,Copy !req
214. we have to fight and take lives.Copy !req
215. Out of the 128 men of the 6th squadron,Copy !req
216. only 45 remain.Copy !req
217. That ship threw out some life preservers before leaving.Copy !req
218. Perhaps there are...Copy !req
219. Captain!Copy !req
220. Oh, Dewitt. What is it?Copy !req
221. It's a miracle.Copy !req
222. He was very lucky to have ejected in time,Copy !req
223. and then we found him still floating around in the ocean.Copy !req
224. There's no mistake!Copy !req
225. It's Jones!!Copy !req
226. He's still unconscious and suffering from serious burns,Copy !req
227. his pulse is very weak.Copy !req
228. The chances of a recovery are...Copy !req
229. He's still alive!!Copy !req
230. Jones?!Copy !req
231. Jones, it's me! It's Hutton! Can you hear me?!Copy !req
232. What is it? What're you trying to say?!Copy !req
233. C-Captain.Copy !req
234. Reporting in.Copy !req
235. Yes. You've done a good job!Copy !req
236. - It's a promise.
- What?Copy !req
237. It's a promise.Copy !req
238. The 2 thousand dollar... cheque.Copy !req
239. Ah! Yes!Copy !req
240. Don't you worry! I brought it back with me!Copy !req
241. We'll go to that great bar in Townsville!Copy !req
242. And we'll really party the whole night there!Copy !req
243. I've just lost my best friend.Copy !req
244. I wonder if the pain I inflicted on that monster,Copy !req
245. is anywhere near as much as the pain I'm feeling now.Copy !req
246. Quite a lot of areas are going to be...Copy !req
247. ...impossible to repair without a drydock.Copy !req
248. You can see the damage we took on the superstructure.Copy !req
249. From 2000 meters up,Copy !req
250. the Dauntless came in fast and hard...Copy !req
251. He was an incredible pilot.Copy !req
252. I see.Copy !req
253. And over here. Nashida was standing...Copy !req
254. ...right next to me when the plane hit...Copy !req
255. He was a good officer,Copy !req
256. and a really nice guy.Copy !req
257. Hurry up, over here!Copy !req
258. Hey? Isn't that Oume?Copy !req
259. How rare it is...Copy !req
260. ...to see CIC personnel come out of their cave for some sun.Copy !req
261. In times like this, it's not a bad idea to work some stress out?Copy !req
262. I'll go for a run after I've checked on...Copy !req
263. ...the repairs on Deck 1.Copy !req
264. I feel like I've gotten all soft.Copy !req
265. Yes.Copy !req
266. Corporal Asou.Copy !req
267. Yes?Copy !req
268. Did Nashida say anything before he died?Copy !req
269. Ah, no, nothing.Copy !req
270. I see.Copy !req
271. I feel that I'm still alive because...Copy !req
272. ...of some fortunate coincidence.Copy !req
273. The reason I'm still standing here talking to you...Copy !req
274. ...is because I was in the right place at the right time.Copy !req
275. We can't ever predict when we are going to die.Copy !req
276. In other words, we should make the best of the time we have.Copy !req
277. I guess so.Copy !req
278. Sir!Copy !req
279. Just as I thought, the death of...Copy !req
280. ...5 crew members has depressed the entire crew.Copy !req
281. Hey! We're running out of nuts!Copy !req
282. Got it!Copy !req
283. However, they seem to be doing pretty well...Copy !req
284. Is it because they've become numb after facing death head-on?Copy !req
285. We have to get that weld done by today!Copy !req
286. We can't dock at Yokosuka looking like this, can we?!Copy !req
287. No. Just like Corporal Asou said,Copy !req
288. these men have realized they are here...Copy !req
289. ...because we've been lucky so far.Copy !req
290. To control your destiny...Copy !req
291. That's a privilege for those who're alive.Copy !req
292. They've realized this,Copy !req
293. and are getting on with their lives and duties...Copy !req
294. As they try to overcome the sadness after...Copy !req
295. ...the loss of 5 members of our family.Copy !req
296. Yes, we're doing just fine...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. We've come home at last.Copy !req
306. I'm surprised.Copy !req
307. To think Mitsumasa Yonai come aboard by himself!Copy !req
308. But I am someone who can't turn a blind eye...Copy !req
309. ...to the loss of even one person's life if it can be prevented!Copy !req
310. I can't just let those people die for no reason!Copy !req
311. Lieutenant Tsuda, I must tell you something...Copy !req
312. ...before I leave Japan.Copy !req
313. I think...Copy !req
314. ...the best way forward would be for this ship...Copy !req
