Zipang 1x26

1. In this place so unreal

2. I wait for dawn to come

3. Farther and farther, like the sky I saw that day

4. What a joke this hope is

5. I acted as if I had forgotten

6. Farther and farther, like the dream I saw that day

7. I just want to know the meaning of it

8. Within this scattered time

9. Along with the breath of ours

10. And of this pain that never goes away

11. Even though the roaring of the sea muffles the voices

12. Darkness engulfs everything ahead

13. The light that passes through our fragile hearts

14. Won't go away

15. We only relied on our compass

16. We believed you

17. While we stand here

18. We're searching for the unseen future

19. Zipang

20. Zipang

21. From the Military High Command.

22. Reinforcements are on the way to the Solomon Islands.

23. The Army and Navy will work together,

24. and crush the enemy in one decisive blow.

25. Australia has also now become...

26. ...fully cut off from its allies.

27. In other words, it's an announcement from the Army HQ.

28. I think the Ichiki's men probably went in...

29. ...and were decimated.

30. What exactly is going on?!

31. Isn't Guadalcanal going to remain in Allied hands?

32. History has been altered, hasn't it?!

33. It's true that there wasn't a second Battle of Guadalcanal.

34. However, in our history books,

35. the submarine I-19 was the ship...

36. ...that sunk the USS Wasp.

37. Commander,

38. permission's been granted for crew shore leave.

39. The Navy has sent a message...

40. ...granting us permission to go ashore tomorrow morning.

41. We'll be under surveillance,

42. but we are free to move about within Yokosuka City.

43. We really have to hand it to the great Mitsumasa Yonai.

44. He really knows how to get things done.

45. Once he decides on something, it gets done immediately.

46. Oh, what a depressing color.

47. Kohei, Masayuki.

48. I need your help.

49. The Place of Return

50. This is a little too fancy for me.

51. Why am I the only one in uniform?!

52. You look fine.

53. It's good that the color's not too flashy.

54. It's a little tight,

55. but I can't complain since it's a present.

56. It's Yokosuka.

57. We have returned at last.

58. Debt,\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

65. Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h

66. Just looking at the streets...

67. it gives me a strange feeling.

68. It's something that we've only seen in photos,

69. yet it feels like I've been here before.

70. At the end of the day, we are Japanese...

71. and this is definitely Japan.

243. Watch out for the secret police.

244. I'll be back by nightfall.

245. Alright, let's just hang out here for as long as we can.

246. We can get stuffed on "alternative" foods anyway.

249. Madam, two Mikasa set lunches please!

250. Fukagawa? I thought you were born in Kyushu?

251. I'm from Sasebo,

252. but my father was brought up in Fukagawa near Tokyo,

253. and he should be 8 years old now.

254. You're going to meet him?

255. Yes, to clarify something.

256. To make sure that this really is Japan,

257. and to find out what our connection is to this world.

258. We'll help you lose our Navy escorts.

259. Thank you.

261. Tokyo

262. My grandfather was a carpenter and should be 36 years old now.

263. My grandmother, a former geisha, is 32.

264. My father... he should be around that boy's age.

265. Mr. Yonai said that we're not part of this world,

266. but I don't agree.

267. And I don't plan to be one either.

268. I need something more to tie me...

269. ...to this world and the people of it.

270. But what about Kusaka?

271. I don't know what his plans are after meeting Kanji Ishiwara,

272. but whatever he's up to,

273. I know for sure he's trying to change things drastically.

274. To Kusaka,

275. people aren't individuals, like the father and son sitting there.

276. I'm the one who saved Kusaka and showed him the future,

277. so I am the one who will have to stop him.

278. I heard that Fukagawa wasn't badly hit by the air raids.

279. This place does look familiar.

280. My father seldom went back to visit his old man though.

281. I can count the number of times...

282. ...he brought me back to see my grandfather on one hand.

283. If that is Shintomichou Avenue...

284. Then it's just over there.

324. Up to the plate steps Junichiro Suzuki,

325. he is 3 for 5 on the day with a double and 2 singles.

326. - Here's the pitch... - High school baseball...

327. Oh, they're still having the national finals?

328. Shut that off! I don't want to listen to the radio!

329. Damn, it's so boring!

330. What in the world is that guy doing?

331. He's doing well in business?

332. You've got to be kidding me.

333. It's got to be something really sketchy...

334. ...if he's making money in a time like this!

335. I'm really sorry.

336. That man's been on a bender since last night.

337. It's best for you to ignore him if he tries to talk to you.

338. Ok.

339. That Yoichiro!

340. No matter what they say, he's still my son!

341. Yoichiro?!

342. My dear son,

343. no matter where you are now,

344. you won't be embarrassed to have a carpenter as your father!

345. Kadomatsu Yokichi!!

346. That fool!

347. He's my... grandfather?!

348. May I have a word with you?

349. Huh? And who are you?!

350. I'm just passing through.

351. - Please. - Oh.

352. I see we're talking now.

353. Are you Yokichi Kadomatsu, the carpenter?

354. Yeah.

355. I'm famous for...

356. ...my fancy dressers, all my customers...

357. ...love the darn things.

358. I heard you talk about your son, Yoichiro.

359. And what's it to you?

360. Where is he now?

361. He's not here.

362. Just because he's my older brother,

363. he thinks he can take away my only son?

364. What does he think he's doing? That creep!

365. Father, can we go visit grandpa?

366. Welcome aboard

367. It's pretty near from here, right?

368. Yes, grandpa will be happy to see you.

369. - You go ahead then. - Come with me, Father.

370. You're off work tomorrow, right?

371. If I go, we'll just end up fighting.

372. But why?

373. Your grandfather...

374. ...still hasn't forgiven me for entering the Self-Defense Force.

375. I think he hoped I would continue in his footsteps.

376. I think your stubbornness...

377. ...came from your grandfather.

378. He's a skilled craftsman,

379. who hates to bow down to other people.

380. And I heard from my father that he was...

381. ...always getting into fights after drinking.

382. His brother took my father in,

383. and raised him instead to provide a better environment.

384. But then, you know what?

385. I actually miss him!

386. If you miss him,

387. then why don't you just go and bring him back?

388. Bring him back home,

389. and pass on your skills to him!

390. Stop all this drinking and...

391. ...use your energies to raise your son!

392. If I could do that,

393. I wouldn't be here now!

394. But why? You're his father right?

395. I'm a father myself,

396. but a much better one than you!

397. He's... no longer...

398. ...alive!

399. It's the Navy's fault!

400. Darn it!!

401. That poor boy, Yoichiro.

402. He was knocked down by a car on his way to the harbor.

403. It happened 3 days ago.

404. It was a naval officer's car.

405. The funeral's today, but this man...

406. He's not even strong enough to attend his son's funeral.

407. He may be good with his hands, but he's a drunk.

408. What's going on?

409. My father is?

410. I always told him not to...

411. ...go too near to the harbor.

412. Please do not forget that you and your crew...

413. ...are strangers in this era.

414. Mr. Kadomatsu,

415. you must make decisions based on the...

416. ...future survival and prosperity of Japan!

417. Everything may seem so nostalgic to us...

418. but this is not...

419. ...the Japan that we came from!

420. Who could it be at this hour?

421. I apologize for the late visit.

422. But I need to speak with you now.

423. That voice?!

424. I apologize in advance for my poor hospitality.

425. Your father is?

426. You mentioned that we are strangers here.

427. And I disagreed with you on that.

428. Even in this new history,

429. I believed that this was the world where I was born.

430. However, this place is...

431. ...a totally different reality from the Japan we came from.

432. It's like a separate stream of history unfolding.

433. In that case, will you stop meddling with history?

434. No.

435. Even if we were to stop now,

436. this world is not going to become what you hope it would be.

437. There's someone out there who's actively making changes.

438. Mr. Yonai,

439. can you please tell me where...

440. ...former Navy Lieutenant, Takumi Kusaka, is?

441. I have never met that man before.

442. But, I have an idea where he might be.

443. Kanji Ishiwara invited me for some hotpot a few days ago.

444. He was more excited than I've ever seen him.

445. He was like a kid who found the key to the candy store.

446. I'm guessing that it was Takumi Kusaka who put him...

447. ...into that state by telling him what he knew of the future.

448. That's him. I'm sure of it.

449. In that case, Kusaka is no longer in Japan.

450. Manchuria?!

451. In fact, I think he's probably in China now.

452. What does he plan to do there?

453. I don't know what their plan is.

454. But Ishiwara Kanji is the man who tried to make Manchuria...

455. ...the United States of the Far East in the 1930s.

456. It seems like their ambitions have been fused together.

457. To what end, I don't know.

458. Will you chase him to Manchuria?

459. If you're headed there,

460. I know someone in Shanghai who can help you.

461. But Manchuria's far from there.

462. I have responsibilities...

463. ...as the second in command of the Mirai,

464. and I'm not supposed to be away from the ship for too long.

465. However,

466. I was the one who let this man Kusaka learn what he knows.

467. I have to go out there and stop this man myself!

468. So you've made up your mind then?

469. The longer I let him continue with his crazy plans,

470. the more lives will be lost.

471. I'm not a stranger in this world.

472. I'm just a normal person.

473. And that is why I have to make Kusaka...

474. ...come to his senses, and stop these...

475. ...mad schemes of conquest whatever way I can.

476. That's what I believe.

477. A peace treaty with honor.

478. That's the 1st step to Zipang.

479. Kusaka,

480. you're nothing but...

481. ...a normal man just like me.

482. What do you think of the nice breeze?

483. Mr. Wang Tohai?

484. Indeed, a nice breeze indeed.

485. I'm going to Manchuria. Thanks for all you've done. Take care.

486. To that man,

487. defeat in war is alright as long as...

488. ...the country recovers afterwards.

489. But he also mentioned that a lost life can never come back.

490. In just sixty years after the unconditional surrender,

491. the Japanese were able to fully recover.

492. I'd have thought they would've needed more time than that.

493. But in exchange, we will pay for that prosperity...

494. ...with 3 million casualties from the war.

495. Even if this nation is to fully recover,

496. even if she leaves her mark in history,

497. I...

498. ...will be trapped in the flames of purgatory...

499. ...forever.

500. Prepare for refueling!

501. I'm sorry you couldn't get any rest, Commander.

502. No. I'm very sorry for acting out of line.

503. Well, now you're going to do something...

504. ...even more out of line, right?

505. In any case,

506. I'm surprised they granted us permission to dock so quickly.

507. Of course, it wasn't without conditions.

508. They want us to be under the Combined Fleet's command,

509. and to work together with them...

510. ...in their war strategies.

511. For the Mirai to survive in this era,

512. we have to follow their orders.

513. That's right.

514. However, I still have an ace up my sleeve.

515. I've placed high-explosive bombs...

516. ...all over the Mirai.

517. They're all rigged up to...

518. ...a remote device that...

519. ...I had Kikuchi prepare for me.

520. The largest bombs are next to the fuel tank.

521. If the fuel goes up...

522. When did you do that?

523. While you were running around on land, Commander.

524. With the push of a button, the Mirai can be erased.

525. And perhaps the changes we've made to history...

526. ...will be erased as well.

527. This is the...

528. ...final decision we have made.

529. I fully support your decision!

530. Will you go to Manchuria?

531. Yes, everything started with Kusaka and me.

532. And everything won't be resolved until I confront and stop him.

533. The Mirai has returned to Yokosuka.

534. A ship has to go back to her home port.

535. As a member of her crew,

536. you have to come back as well.

537. The Mirai is your home port.

538. Yes! Thank you very much!

539. Yosuke, while you're away,

540. Kikuchi and I will protect the Mirai.

541. Yosuke,

542. come back here with your faith restored!

543. Passing through the distant time

544. Just peacefully

545. Without losing your way, you walked towards me

546. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?

547. Not being able to do anything

548. I kept on praying

549. Sorrow or agony isn't enough

550. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at you

551. Kusaka, I'm going to find you!

552. Young man, where do you come from?

553. East from here,

554. a beautiful country surrounded by the sea.

555. It's called... Zipang.
