[00:04] yuzu
    Ow!
[00:05] hina
    It's because you're wearing all that!
[00:07] yuzu
    What's the big deal?
[00:09] yuzu
    It's over anyway.
[00:10] kima
    No, it's not!
[00:11] kima
    There's gonna be a jump-rope
    contest on the return trip, too!
[00:14] hina
    You saw the red meat that
    the winning team got!
[00:19] hina
    We can't take last place again!
[00:21] hina
    We need to pull out of fish tier, at least!
[00:23] kima
    It's not red meat!
[00:34] shira
    What?
[00:34] kima
    Shirase-chan, you're quite
    adept at jumping rope.
[00:37] shira
    Is that weird?
[00:38] kima
    No, but you just didn't seem like the type.
[00:41] shira
    Why not?
[00:42] hina
    Defying expectations is kind
    of Shirase-chan's thing.
[00:45] hina
    Like, she's clumsier than she looks.
[00:47] kima
    More short-tempered than she looks.
[00:49] yuzu
    More selfish than she looks.
[00:51] shira
    What's that supposed to mean?
[00:58] hina
    Someone's birthday?
[01:03] toshi
    Um...
[01:11] toshi
    I'm in love!

    You gotta KNOCK
[02:51] yuzu
    You're in love?
[02:52] kimari
    With the team captain?
[02:53] yuzu
    Um...
[02:55] toshi
    Zaizen Toshio.
[02:56] yuzu
    You're in love with her?
[02:58] toshi
    Something wrong with that?
[02:59] yumi
    Of course there's something wrong with it.
[03:01] yumi
    Everyone you tell gets so exasperated
    they lose their capacity for words.
[03:05] yumi
    See?
[03:06] toshi
    You're wrong!
[03:07] toshi
    They're just so stunned
    by my sudden confession...
[03:09] hina
    We're too exasperated to speak.
[03:11] toshi
    Really?
[03:12] yuzu
    By team captain, you mean Captain Todo Gin?
[03:15] yuzu
    The beautiful, smart, determined...
[03:17] hina
    Seems pretty out of your league.
[03:19] toshi
    That's so rude!
[03:20] toshi
    I'm allowed to be in love with someone!
[03:22] toshi
    I've always loved strong women like her!
[03:25] yuzu
    Why?
[03:26] toshi
    I feel like... they could protect me.
[03:30] yuzu
    You could just die.
[03:31] toshi
    Did you just say something to me?
    Something truly cruel?
[03:34] yumi
    I'm really sorry.
[03:35] yumi
    You said it before, didn't you?
[03:38] yumi
    That you wouldn't bring romance onto the ship.
[03:40] toshi
    That's why I've held back until now!
[03:42] toshi
    But I can no longer stop myself!
[03:44] yumi
    I would love to hit you.
[03:46] toshi
    You basically are hitting me!
[03:48] yuzu
    So, why did you come to us?
[03:52] toshi
    Well, I heard that the captain had an
    old friend among the high-schoolers...
[03:57] toshi
    I was wondering if you had any information...
[04:00] kima
    He means Shirase-chan!
[04:01] yumi
    How long have you known her?
[04:04] shira
    I first met her about ten years ago, but...
[04:08] toshi
    Got any pictures from that time?!
[04:09] yumi
    Okay, you need to maintain a
    five-meter distance at all times.
[04:12] toshi
    When was that decided?!
[04:14] shira
    But she was just a friend of my mother's.
[04:16] shira
    I never talked to her much.
[04:19] toshi
    I see. Then what am I going to—
[04:21] yumi
    Just give up on her, like I said!
[04:23] yumi
    Toshio, you're such a—
[04:25] hina
    That's it!
[04:26] hina
    That's it!
[04:27] hina
    Including the expedition members' love lives
    in our reports will make them more exciting!
[04:31] toshi
    Report?
[04:32] yuzu
    I see! That's a great idea!
[04:35] yuzu
    We've never even touched on it before!
[04:37] shira
    Isn't that in poor taste?
[04:37] hina
    It's fine.
[04:38] hina
    Apparently our views have
    been in the pits lately.
[04:41] kima
    You think people will watch?
[04:43] yuzu
    Of course they will!
[04:44] yuzu
    Whatever they might claim,
    everybody loves things like that!
[04:47] toshi
    You mean, my love for the captain will...
[04:50] toshi
    ...be broadcast to the whole
    world over the Internet?
[04:52] hina
    No, Zaizen-san, you can go back to your room.
[04:56] hina
    We'll take it from here.
[04:59] yumi
    Sounds like you're in the way.

[05:02] shira
    What kind of person she was?
[05:03] hina
    Yes! The captain's personality,
    her relationships with men...
[05:07] shira
    I told you before. She was just someone
    my mom knew. I didn't especially...
[05:13] shira
    She never really talked much.
[05:16] (Flashback) taka
    I'm gonna buy some cabbage. Look after her.
[05:19] (Flashback) gin
    Wait! What should I...
[05:24] (Flashback) shira
    Here, your change.
[05:27] (Flashback) shira
    Here, your change.
[05:31] (Flashback) gin
    You shouldn't give money
    to people you don't know.
[05:35] kima
    Serious?
[05:37] yuzu
    Sounds more eccentric to me...
[05:39] hina
    So, what about her love life?
[05:42] shira
    How would I know about that?
[05:44] shira
    I was still in kindergarten back then.
[05:46] hina
    We'll just have to ask her ourselves, then.
[05:49] shira
    Ourselves?
[05:50] yuzu
    We'll set up an interview, and lead
    the conversation in that direction.
[05:54] kima
    Like a press conference with a celebrity!
[05:57] kima
    "How's the love life?"
[05:59] shira
    Why are you asking me?
[06:02] shira
    Wait, who's supposed to go ask her?
[06:05] shira
    No! No!
[06:08] hina
    I feel like we've been through this before!
[06:10] yuzu
    Have we really?
[06:12] kima
    Why are you so desperate not to do it?
[06:13] kima
    You talked to her on the deck
    before we set out, remember?
[06:16] shira
    You were watching?
[06:17] hina
    Why would you ever think we weren't?
[06:18] yuzu
    You seemed close enough to me!
[06:21] shira
    No, we just happened to
    run into each other, so...
[06:23] kima
    You don't get along then?
[06:24] shira
    I don't know if I'd say. It's more like...
[06:28] gin
    There's a distance between us.
[06:29] kana
    You talked to her on the
    deck before, didn't you?
[06:32] gin
    You saw that?
[06:33] kana
    You seemed close enough to me...
[06:35] gin
    No, we just happened to
    run into each other, so...
[06:39] gin
    We always had trouble
    communicating with each other.
[06:42] gin
    So whenever Takako would leave, we'd just...
[06:47] (Flashback) both
    A penguin!
[06:50] kana
    What on earth?
[06:51] gin
    I don't have any children,
[06:54] gin
    so I had no idea what to even say to her.
[06:57] gin
    Takako was just determined to—
[06:59] kana
    But Takako's gone now.
[07:03] kana
    Are you sure you don't want to talk to her?
[07:05] kana
    About Takako?
[07:08] kana
    She's said that... that her
    mother is waiting for her.
[07:19] (Flashback) gin
    We canceled the search.
[07:21] (Flashback) gin
    It was my call.
[07:28] kana
    Sorry for the wait. You can come in.
[07:32] kima
    Hello!
[07:32] hina
    Sorry to impose...
[07:35] kana
    No problem!
[07:35] gin
    K-Kanae?
[07:37] yuzu
    Pardon us!
[07:40] kana
    Where's Shirase-chan?
[07:42] hina
    She had something else to take care of.
[07:45] kana
    I see...
[07:49] hina
    Okay, camera's rolling.
[07:52] gin
    Wait a minute. What are you going to ask me?
[07:55] hina
    We were hoping to ask some questions
    about your personal life!
[07:59] kima
    Your favorite foods, what you do back home...
[08:02] hina
    And... your love life!
[08:05] yuzu
    What's your "type"?!
[08:08] gin
    I will not answer questions unrelated
    to the Antarctic expedition.
[08:11] kana
    Gin-chan, the high school
    girls have questions for you.
[08:14] trio
    Please!
[08:16] yuzu
    Our views have been dropping lately!
[08:19] hina
    We need this!
[08:21] kima
    Her ears are bright red!
[08:23] gin
    They are not!
[08:24] hina
    Captain, did you just get out of the bath?
[08:26] kima
    What's your favorite bath salt?
[08:27] yuzu
    What's your "type"?!
[08:30] kima
    Maybe we should make the
    eyes a little larger...
[08:33] yuzu
    I think she's fine the way she is...
[08:38] kima
    They're so big!
[08:39] yuzu
    They did say we were in the Antarctic Circle.
[08:44] kima
    The sun's not gonna go down, is it?
[08:49] toshi
    Someone like a cloud?
[08:51] yuzu
    What does that mean?
[08:52] hina
    Dunno. But that's what she said.
[08:55] toshi
    There are lots of kinds of clouds...
[08:57] toshi
    Cirrus, stratus, cumulus...
[09:01] yumi
    You're so boring.
[09:02] toshi
    Why?
[09:04] shira
    I think...
[09:09] (Flashback) taka
    What big clouds!
[09:11] (Flashback) shira
    Yeah...
[09:13] (Flashback) gin
    Clouds are amazing, aren't they?
[09:15] (Flashback) gin
    You can't grasp them, but when you
    look up, they're always there.
[09:22] toshi
    And... what does that mean?
[09:24] shira
    I don't know.
[09:26] gin
    I think I have an idea, though.
[09:29] yumi
    Yeah...
[09:38] toshi
    What? What is it?
[09:44] muka
    How did the interview go?
[09:48] gin
    Did Kanae...
[09:50] muka
    No, I asked.
[09:52] muka
    I was just curious to know
[09:55] muka
    if you and Kobuchizawa-san's
    daughter were very close.
[10:00] gin
    She didn't show up.
[10:03] gin
    She probably hasn't forgiven me.
[10:10] muka
    That is a problem.
[10:12] muka
    A captain needs to be able to talk
    to their members and check in.
[10:20] vo
    From 0800 hours to 1200 hours,
    training is permitted on-deck.

[10:29] yuzu
    Ouch!
[10:31] kima
    That looked like it hurt!
[10:32] hina
    That happens a lot when
    you exercise in winter...
[10:41] hina
    Shirase?
[10:49] shira
    Penguins!
[10:57] toshi
    You know what it means?
    To be "like a cloud"...
[11:01] dai
    I think so.
[11:02] toshi
    No way! What does it mean?
[11:05] toshi
    Tell me! What does it mean?
[11:09] dai
    Can't put it... into words.
[11:24] (Flashback) gin
    Why?
[11:25] (Flashback) taka
    Why what?
[11:26] (Flashback) gin
    Takako, you're trying to leave me
    and her alone together, aren't you?
[11:31] (Flashback) taka
    I sure am!
[11:32] (Flashback) taka
    She needs your spirit, after all.
[11:35] (Flashback) todo
    Hey!
[11:39] (Flashback) todo
    She's your child!
[11:42] (Flashback) shira
    Ow.
[11:47] (Flashback) gin
    You can't do it?
[11:54] (Flashback) shira
    No.
[12:00] kana
    What are you doing?
[12:05] shira
    What do you want?
[12:07] gin
    I wanted to know how you feel... about me.
[12:13] shira
    Do you want me to tell you that I hate you?
[12:18] shira
    I don't hate you.
[12:22] shira
    When my mother decided to
    join the civilian expedition,
[12:26] shira
    she told me over and over again...
[12:28] shira
    that an Antarctic expedition
    can be dangerous.
[12:33] (Flashback) shira
    But you're still going, right?
[12:37] (Flashback) taka
    Yes.
[12:43] shira
    I was fully aware of the kind
    of place Antarctica was.
[12:50] gin
    But I was the team captain.
[12:52] shira
    Did you make a mistake?
[12:54] shira
    Was my mother left in Antarctica
    because of poor judgment on your part?
[13:00] gin
    I didn't have any other choice.
[13:02] shira
    Then isn't that enough?
[13:06] gin
    Fine.
[13:08] gin
    Let me just ask one more question.
[13:11] gin
    Is that how you really feel?
[13:15] gin
    You really feel that way?
[13:18] shira
    I don't know.
[13:22] shira
    This is why I didn't want to talk about it!
[13:26] shira
    I have no idea how I feel.
[13:29] shira
    All I know... is that, even though
    my mom wasn't coming home,
[13:33] shira
    that day after day, my life
    wasn't going to change...
[13:40] shira
    I lived every one of those days
    waiting for her to come home,
[13:44] shira
    but nothing changed.
[13:47] shira
    I told myself, day after day after day,
[13:49] shira
    that it was like I was waiting
    for her to come home.
[13:56] shira
    If I want to change things,
    I just have to go...
[13:59] shira
    to where my mother is,
[14:01] shira
    to the place further than the universe.
[14:08] all
    What?
[14:10] man
    All, slow astern.
[14:12] man
    All, slow astern.
[14:13] muka
    It finally happened.
[14:15] shira
    What is it?
[14:16] gin
    We hit some fast ice.
[14:18] gin
    We're going to ram through it.
[14:20] kima
    You're right!
[14:22] kima
    We're going to slam down on the ice?
[14:24] kana
    Yes. We'll back up once, and then...
[14:27] man
    All, stop.
[14:28] man
    All, slow ahead.
[14:30] man
    All, stop.
[14:31] man
    All, slow ahead.
[14:32] gin
    We'll slam the ice...
[14:36] gin
    with all we've got.
[14:44] gin
    We use the weight of the
    boat to shatter the ice.
[14:51] kana
    That's why we call it an icebreaker.
[14:54] yuzu
    What happens if the ice doesn't break?
[14:56] kana
    We'll do it over and over again.
[14:58] kana
    Again and again until it breaks.
[15:01] kima
    Antarctica is tough, huh...
[15:04] kana
    It's said that it's especially
    difficult to reach land from here.
[15:08] yuzu
    Is it?
[15:10] kima
    Then why did we specifically come here?
[15:12] kana
    It's the only place we can go.
[15:16] (Flashback) kana
    Rules about Antarctic
    exploration were formalized
[15:19] (Flashback) kana
    after the second World War...
[15:22] (Flashback) kana
    Ah, do you know about that?
[15:24] (Flashback) shira
    Yes.
[15:27] gin
    Japan had lost the war,
    so many countries were opposed
[15:30] gin
    to Japan sending expeditions to Antarctica.
[15:34] kana
    Of course, Japan didn't have much
    influence over the discussion.
[15:38] kana
    In the end, we were allotted
    East Ongul Island,
[15:42] kana
    which was even said to be unreachable.
[15:44] kima
    You mean, they bullied you?
[15:46] kana
    I'm not sure if I'd go that far...
[15:49] kana
    but maybe that is what it amounted to.
[15:53] kana
    An "If you really want to go there,
    go ahead and try" kind of thing.
[15:58] yuzu
    That's very annoying.
[15:59] kana
    But that just fired up everyone even more!
[16:03] (Flashback) gin
    They raised large amounts of
    money from all over the country,
[16:06] (Flashback) gin
    and the shipwrights worked as hard as
    they could to design and build a ship...
[16:11] (Flashback) shira
    What then?
[16:13] (Flashback) gin
    Time and time again,
[16:15] (Flashback) gin
    they found themselves on the brink of giving
    up, but they dug deep and pressed on.
[16:19] (Flashback) gin
    Just like breaking through the ice.
[16:22] kana
    Step by step.
[16:25] shira
    Again and again...
[16:35] muka
    Two-thirds ahead!
[16:39] gin
    Go!
[16:40] kima
    Go!
[16:42] both
    Go!
[16:50] (Flashback) taka
    Get 'em!
[16:58] shira
    We did it...
[17:00] gin
    Not yet. There's a long way
    to go until we get there.
[17:04] gin
    Year after year. Again and again...
[17:08] (Flashback) taka
    I'm home!
[17:19] gin
    Again and again.
[17:24] (Flashback) gin
    Takako!
[17:25] (Flashback) gin
    Takako!
[17:28] (Flashback) man
    Hey!
[17:29] (Flashback) gin
    Takako!
[17:30] (Flashback) man
    Kobuchizawa!
[17:41] taka
    It's beautiful...
[17:45] (Flashback) gin
    Takako!
[17:48] taka
    It's so...
[17:51] taka
    very beautiful.
[18:04] toshi
    Um...
[18:21] toshi
    Just for the record, I was
    really, really, really serious!
[18:25] toshi
    I wanted to do something for her!
[18:27] yumi
    I told you, I get it.
[18:29] toshi
    But she didn't even notice me!
[18:33] yumi
    An expedition member can't help
    their captain. They won't let you.
[18:37] yumi
    Why don't you respect that,
[18:39] yumi
    and find someone more within your reach?
[18:45] toshi
    Yumiko...
[18:47] toshi
    Y-Y-Y-You...
[18:52] yumi
    No! That's not what I meant!
[18:54] yumi
    No!
[19:21] kima
    How did it all fit in there so neatly before?
[19:25] kima
    It's a mystery.
[19:26] yuzu
    What will you do?
[19:29] kana
    Have you finished cleaning up?
[19:30] kima
    Yes! All finished!
[19:32] yuzu
    How can you be so comfortable with lying?
[19:34] kana
    Would you like to step outside for a minute?
[19:37] shira
    Can we?
[19:38] hina
    Yuzu! The camera!
[19:39] yuzu
    Right!
[19:44] kima
    Is this it?
[19:50] kana
    It's just a brief stop.
[19:51] kana
    Stay within five meters.
[19:53] hina
    Okay, let's go!
[20:02] kima
    Is this...
[20:04] hina
    ...Antarctica?
[20:27] kima
    What should I do?
[20:30] hina
    Shirase, you go first.
[20:37] kima
    After you.
[20:48] all
    One, two...
[20:59] kima

    In your face...
[21:22] shira

    down your noses, but I believed!
[21:28] shira
    You betrayed me, thinking it was
    impossible, but I didn't give up!
[21:32] shira
    And this is how it turns out!
