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. Malay RailwayCopy !req
22. The Malays, Javanese, Indians, and Chinese.Copy !req
23. The Red Sun soars high above the numerous ethnic groups here.Copy !req
24. While most of the natives act as if they don't see the Japanese,Copy !req
25. others show deep respect for them.Copy !req
26. This is... a colonized land.Copy !req
27. Singa... No, Shonan-To is another 6 hours from here.Copy !req
28. I'm so used to air-conditioning, this heat is getting to me.Copy !req
29. A second-class carriage should still be tolerable.Copy !req
30. Or would you prefer the sardine packed style of a third class one?Copy !req
31. You managed to get me a hat, shoes and a decent suit.Copy !req
32. I'm surprised.Copy !req
33. Under Martial Law, providing for the ruling authority...Copy !req
34. ...brings one many privileges.Copy !req
35. No way! No way!Copy !req
36. Those without a permit pass are not allowed to take the train!Copy !req
37. All suspicious fellas will be taken to the Military Police, you hear?!Copy !req
38. The forceful assertion of authority will not win the people over.Copy !req
39. That was proven in the post war history.Copy !req
40. I'm sure you've learnt that, too.Copy !req
41. Can I sit here?Copy !req
42. Excuse me.Copy !req
43. It's so hot here... I'm melting.Copy !req
44. The Japanese Army is so formidable.Copy !req
45. Even "Fortress Singapore" was taken in a flash.Copy !req
46. I have some business dealings with the army myself.Copy !req
47. Recently, I did hear of a little rumor, though.Copy !req
48. That during the recent Midway incident,Copy !req
49. quite a number of our planes have been taken down...Copy !req
50. Is the Navy side still okay?Copy !req
51. We're alright.Copy !req
52. Japan will definitely win this war.Copy !req
53. T-That's good. Straight from a Navy Commander himself!Copy !req
54. Should you be sleeping?Copy !req
55. You were sent here to keep an eye on me, right?Copy !req
56. As long as you don't try to jump off from a moving train,Copy !req
57. I'll have plenty more chances when we reach Shonan-To, right?Copy !req
58. What's more, the enemy is everywhere.Copy !req
59. What, what's this? It's not even the station yet?!Copy !req
60. A breakdown?Copy !req
61. No... Military Police! It's an inspection!Copy !req
62. For anti-Japanese guerillas?Copy !req
63. Or maybe the Chinese rebels.Copy !req
64. I heard that Military inspections are very strict.Copy !req
65. Those who're captured seldom come back in one piece.Copy !req
66. Kusa...Copy !req
67. Hey, where's the officer sitting here?Copy !req
68. He went somewhere just a while ago.Copy !req
69. He went off? When was that?!Copy !req
70. 2-3 minutes ago, I think.Copy !req
71. Kusaka!Copy !req
72. Everyone! Show your permit pass!Copy !req
73. And your ID too!Copy !req
74. This is bad. The permit pass and identification's all with Kusaka.Copy !req
75. Let me see it.Copy !req
76. Alright.Copy !req
77. Okay. Next!Copy !req
78. Alright!Copy !req
79. Let me see it.Copy !req
80. Hurry up with it!Copy !req
81. Thanks for your hard work.Copy !req
82. What about you?Copy !req
83. What's the matter? You don't have them?!Copy !req
84. I'm sorry, but I don't have them.Copy !req
85. What?Copy !req
86. I'm with the military.Copy !req
87. I'm on a classified Intelligence mission...Copy !req
88. ...along with a Navy Lieutenant Commander.Copy !req
89. The Lieutenant will be able to prove my identity.Copy !req
90. The details are... classified.Copy !req
91. Why you! What are you playing at?!Copy !req
92. And? Where's this lieutenant you're on the mission with?Copy !req
93. Well, I have no idea.Copy !req
94. He went off somewhere while I was sleeping.Copy !req
95. I tried looking for him, but...Copy !req
96. Hey!Copy !req
97. Is this man here telling us the truth?Copy !req
98. Huh?Copy !req
99. I don't know of any Navy officers on board.Copy !req
100. H-Hey!Copy !req
101. I thought this man was pretty suspicious myself.Copy !req
102. I want you to hand that thing around your waist to me!Copy !req
103. Hand it over now!Copy !req
104. Yamahana Hideo, alias, Yoh Bun Gen!Copy !req
105. You're under arrest as an anti-Japanese spy!Copy !req
106. I don't understand?!Copy !req
107. Hold it right there!Copy !req
108. Give chase! Get him!Copy !req
109. Yes!Copy !req
110. You're coming back with us to the headquarters.Copy !req
111. You're gonna tell me all about that man, Yoh!Copy !req
112. I am Japanese!Copy !req
113. I only happened to share a seat with that man!Copy !req
114. Being with a Lieutenant Commander for a classified mission...Copy !req
115. Do you think you can get away with that ridiculous lie?!Copy !req
116. Stand up!Copy !req
117. Is there something you want to ask me?Copy !req
118. Oh... no!Copy !req
119. So everything's fine then?Copy !req
120. Yes! Sorry to disturb you!Copy !req
121. Keep it up.Copy !req
122. And where have you been?!Copy !req
123. I went to look for the banana peddler in the third class carriage.Copy !req
124. I didn't expect...Copy !req
125. ...to run into an inspection on this train.Copy !req
126. What you did will draw unnecessary attention...Copy !req
127. ...for a Lieutenant Commander!Copy !req
128. Why didn't you tell me instead?Copy !req
129. Because you looked so exhausted from the heat and the tension.Copy !req
130. I think you should eat something. This Malayan produce is good.Copy !req
131. That wasn't fired from a military rifle.Copy !req
132. Yes.Copy !req
133. To retrieve information, it's a golden rule to capture spies alive.Copy !req
134. And knowing how harsh the interrogation of the military is,Copy !req
135. suicide is actually a wiser option.Copy !req
136. A cruiser that reaches 30 knots in speed in just 5 minutes?Copy !req
137. And an autogyro that surpasses our military fighter plane?Copy !req
138. It sounds too much like a dream.Copy !req
139. And you say it bore the rising sun of Japan?Copy !req
140. Who was the one who saw it?Copy !req
141. The Ogasawara deployment, Type 2 Fighter Seaplane Pilots.Copy !req
142. Not forgetting,Copy !req
143. Commander-in-Chief, Isoroku Yamamoto.Copy !req
144. It appeared in Ogasawara, and was reported to have gone south.Copy !req
145. It's most likely in the waters of Singapore right now.Copy !req
146. Also, it's a personal concern of mine,Copy !req
147. but there's a certain officer whose death isn't confirmed.Copy !req
148. Shipping and Freight Association.
Shonan City BranchCopy !req
149. Shipping and Freight Association.
Shonan City BranchCopy !req
150. A 10,000 ton tanker, you say?Copy !req
151. As the Navy's vessels are all involved in other operations,Copy !req
152. we'd like to make use of a civilian vessel instead.Copy !req
153. This is the permit document issued by the local headquarters,Copy !req
154. and the official order from the Imperial Navy.Copy !req
155. Thank you very much.Copy !req
156. It's not a problem.Copy !req
157. Right now, the only vessel that meets the requirements stated,Copy !req
158. is the Toshin Maru from "Toyo Steamships",Copy !req
159. However, the Toshin Maru just came back from Penang yesterday.Copy !req
160. It still requires cleaning, and the crew needs to rest.Copy !req
161. Complete preparations for the ship's departure...Copy !req
162. ...should take up to about 10 days.Copy !req
163. I'd like to set out in 5 days.Copy !req
164. Just my opinion, but 10 days is the least it should take.Copy !req
165. This operation involves the lives of many Japanese people.Copy !req
166. B-But...Copy !req
167. I guess you didn't hear me?Copy !req
168. In 5 days time.Copy !req
169. We will do our very best.Copy !req
170. A word of advice.Copy !req
171. Don't breathe a word about this operation to anyone else.Copy !req
172. There's a possibility that our conversations are being tapped,Copy !req
173. so phone calls are banned.Copy !req
174. Is that okay?Copy !req
175. Yes!Copy !req
176. So 5 days later, we'll be waiting for you at the Shonan City 3rd Harbor.Copy !req
177. Yes! T-Thank you for your efforts!Copy !req
178. What's left now is the ship's fuel and food supplies.Copy !req
179. Following that, the workers to help load the ship.Copy !req
180. Next, is the Nippon Port Association.Copy !req
181. This is what they call Martial Law...Copy !req
182. The authority of the Military is invincible.Copy !req
183. The man named Kusaka... From what I see,Copy !req
184. he's a gentlemen, without any arrogance of a military personnel.Copy !req
185. However, he must be hiding something deep within his heart.Copy !req
186. Ever since he read about Japan's future in Mirai's library,Copy !req
187. something about him changed.Copy !req
188. Kusaka's real intentions...Copy !req
189. how should I approach this important issue?Copy !req
190. Mr. Kadomatsu, are you ready to go?Copy !req
191. Yes, I am.Copy !req
192. However, isn't it dangerous to be roaming the streets?Copy !req
193. Navy personnel are all over the place...Copy !req
194. It'll be fine.Copy !req
195. Right now, no one from the local headquarters...Copy !req
196. or the vessels stationed here has ever seen my face.Copy !req
197. I double checked that from the war records of your ship's library.Copy !req
198. Come, let's go.Copy !req
199. There's a Japan you don't know of out there.Copy !req
200. This reminds me of the time I was attached to the British Embassy.Copy !req
201. It's dazzling. On an island country as small as this,Copy !req
202. the Japanese Occupation extends this deep.Copy !req
203. The liberation of Asia,Copy !req
204. "A New Order in the Far East!"Copy !req
205. It sounds good in words,Copy !req
206. but what Japan had wanted wasn't the respect of the Asians,Copy !req
207. but the immense natural resources it held.Copy !req
208. Japan merely replaced the Western powers in exploitation.Copy !req
209. After taking North Korea and Taiwan,Copy !req
210. Japan invaded into China with liberation as the excuse.Copy !req
211. The gap in their actions and words didn't manage to fool the Asians.Copy !req
212. When did they start to lose their own values,Copy !req
213. the Japanese people?Copy !req
214. Would you like to see the 21st Century?Copy !req
215. If I had died upon that ocean,Copy !req
216. I would never have had the chance to see the 21st Century.Copy !req
217. If I'm lucky, it'll be another 68 years.Copy !req
218. If I live to be a hundred, I'll be able to see it.Copy !req
219. I'd like to see it.Copy !req
220. However,Copy !req
221. I have no interest in the 21st Century that you came from.Copy !req
222. It's out at last.Copy !req
223. You want to make a different 21st Century with your own hands?Copy !req
224. I don't think I can accomplish that alone.Copy !req
225. But, if all outcomes have a reason,Copy !req
226. and everything that happens has a meaning to it...Copy !req
227. Then why have I survived, Mr. Kadomatsu?Copy !req
228. What did you come here to do?Copy !req
229. Look, we have an invitation.Copy !req
230. Would you be my escort for the evening?Copy !req
231. You mean... me?Copy !req
232. If it's the tango, I practiced a little some time ago.Copy !req
233. Oh my, I love the tango too!Copy !req
234. I'm Teruko from the Shonan House. Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
235. Unrefined, but nonetheless a kind man.Copy !req
236. Tsuda?!Copy !req
237. According to the records on Mirai,Copy !req
238. he should not be in Singapore right now!Copy !req
239. Excuse me.Copy !req
240. With the appearance of that ship,Copy !req
241. history has already begun to change?!Copy !req
242. I'm so glad, you're still alive!Copy !req
243. Lieutenant Takumi Kusaka!Copy !req
244. I never imagined seeing you again in a place like this!Copy !req
245. It's been a month since you left Kirishima in a seaplane.Copy !req
246. Just where have you been all this time?Copy !req
247. I'm sorry... But do I know you?Copy !req
248. You seem to have mistaken me for someone else.Copy !req
249. Have you forgotten who I am?Copy !req
250. I'm Kazuma Tsuda, Lieutenant Kusaka!Copy !req
251. I'm very sorry, but...Copy !req
252. I'm not the Navy Officer that you're looking for.Copy !req
253. Excuse me.Copy !req
254. I'm sorry about that!Copy !req
255. I thought you said you didn't know anyone in Singapore?Copy !req
256. It should have been so.Copy !req
257. Should I bring him back?Copy !req
258. No. I want you to follow them.Copy !req
259. - Keep an eye on them.
- Yes, sir!Copy !req
260. Former subordinate?Copy !req
261. Navy Officer, 58th class.Copy !req
262. He's three classes below me.Copy !req
263. Kazuma Tsuda. A superb communications officer.Copy !req
264. Why is that man in a place like this?Copy !req
265. According to Mirai's records, after Tsuda returned from Midway,Copy !req
266. he worked for the Military Command in the local HQ.Copy !req
267. What could have happened?Copy !req
268. From what I see, the most likely explanation,Copy !req
269. is that he's sent here on special orders.Copy !req
270. - Special orders?
- I'm afraid,Copy !req
271. he might be searching for Mirai.Copy !req
272. We can assume that the upper authorities who spotted Mirai...Copy !req
273. ...during Midway have formed a special investigation unit.Copy !req
274. So we're officially being pursued, I guess.Copy !req
275. It's not just that.Copy !req
276. The key personnel and war strategies have greatly changed.Copy !req
277. Yet the conditions and crew on Mirai hasn't changed one bit.Copy !req
278. What're you saying?Copy !req
279. The current flow of time and history...Copy !req
280. doesn't lead back to you people.Copy !req
281. No way?!Copy !req
282. What about the 21st Century that we came from?!Copy !req
283. This place is different from the world you're familiar with.Copy !req
284. And a different history will be unfolding.Copy !req
285. Stop the carriage.Copy !req
286. High Grade Japanese Sweets StoreCopy !req
287. Let's take a walk. It'll help you calm down.Copy !req
288. Taki Western Clothing ShopCopy !req
289. It's just like a street in Japan.Copy !req
290. With the Bakufu's opening of the country,Copy !req
291. many people ventured out of Japan to do business.Copy !req
292. If we lose our connections with the world we came from,Copy !req
293. will we become grass without roots?!Copy !req
294. Or will we become ghosts?!Copy !req
295. You're not the only one.Copy !req
296. First, I go missing.Copy !req
297. And now, I can't even tell my name to a former subordinate of mine.Copy !req
298. How can...Copy !req
299. ...that be...Copy !req
300. How is that possible?!Copy !req
301. I see that you're bleeding, and my fist is still hurting.Copy !req
302. We aren't just ghosts!Copy !req
303. I see.Copy !req
304. Wha... What?!Copy !req
305. Hey! What do you think you're doing in front of my shop?!Copy !req
306. You filthy drunkards! I'm gonna get the Military Police!Copy !req
307. Sorry, sorry.Copy !req
308. It's okay.Copy !req
309. We're definitely not ghosts.Copy !req
310. People can still see us.Copy !req
311. It's two more days to departure on the Toshin Maru.Copy !req
312. Mirai is waiting for us.Copy !req
313. Passing through the distant timeCopy !req
314. Just peacefullyCopy !req
315. Without losing your way, you walked towards meCopy !req
316. How many times have I grasped tightly those small hands of yours?Copy !req
317. Not being able to do anythingCopy !req
318. I kept on prayingCopy !req
319. Sorrow or agony isn't enoughCopy !req
320. That's why now as if I wanted to make up... I'm looking at youCopy !req
321. Supplies aside, if we keep this up...Copy !req
322. it'll evolve into the worst battle between the Japanese.Copy !req
323. Your skills have improved, Tsuda.Copy !req
324. At present, we are the ones who hold the authority.Copy !req
325. It is possible for me to issue an order to seize your ship.Copy !req
326. Why you! Which world are you living in right now?!Copy !req
327. Lieutenant Kusaka, please let me see it.Copy !req
328. I want to see you in action.Copy !req
