Arpeggio of Blue Steel
In the year 2039, global warming has caused a sudden rise in sea level, leading mankind to lose a great deal of land territory. At the same time, a fleet of mysterious warships clad in mist, known as the "Fleet of Fog," begin to appear throughout the world's seas, attacking humanity's warships with their powerful superweapons. Humanity threw all the military strength it possessed at the Fleet of Fog in a decisive battle, but was crushed by the fleet's overwhelming might...

humanity had lost most of its terrestrial territory

due to global climate change and other factors.

their governments and

He's the only son of a

[07:14] C
Unlike us, he gets special treatment.
[07:17] B
Oh, about that...

defected to the Fog true?

[08:10] Gunzou
It's the submarine I-401...
[08:14] Gunzou
Why is it here?
[08:16] Officer
This is a captured Fog ship.
[08:19] Officer
Although its appearance mimics
that of a Pacific War submarine,
[08:23] Officer
it is not of human origin.
[08:26] E
So this is what the brass was hiding?
[08:29] G
It's no surprise that they'd
keep it from the public.
[08:32] Officer
After the Great Naval Battle,
[08:33] Officer
this submarine appeared at this
harbor with all of its weapons locked.
[08:37] Officer
Its reasons for doing so are unknown.
[08:40] Officer
It allowed us to seize it with no resistance.
[08:44] F
So, if we can understand how it works,
[08:46] F
we might also find the
Fleet of Fog's weakness?
[08:47] Officer
We might.
[08:49] Officer
But, we've been researching
it for seven years.
[08:51] Officer
We've tried everything we could think of,
[08:53] Officer
but it has remained unyielding.

We have been unable to
take it apart, as well?

[10:45] Gunzou
What about my dad?
[10:48] Iona
I have been ordered to meet
the son of Chihaya Shouzou.
[10:52] Gunzou
"Ordered"?
[10:55] Gunzou
Is this a new prank?
[10:58] Gunzou
This crap is all you guys ever think about.
[11:00] Iona
No, this is not a prank.
[11:02] Gunzou
Then why mention my dead father's name?
[11:05] Iona
Because it is the truth.
[11:07] Gunzou
Who are you?

[11:10] Iona
That is the name I was given.
[11:12] Gunzou

Come tonight. Alone.

This is to be human.
[12:05] Gunzou
I'm here.

Let's hear why you dragged me out here.
[12:09] Iona
To be precise, I am the one
who has been waiting.
[12:13] Gunzou
I'm going back.
[12:14] Iona
No.
[12:15] Gunzou
I don't have time to play games with strangers.
[12:19] Iona
You have eleven hours until the wake-up call.
[12:23] Gunzou
That's not what I meant.
[12:25] Gunzou
I just don't want to waste my
time on anything meaningless.
[12:28] Iona
Am I meaningless?
[12:31] Gunzou
Just tell me what you want.
[12:33] Iona
To meet Gunzou, the son of
Chihaya Shouzou, and obey him.
[12:38] Iona
That is the only order that
remains in my memory.
[12:42] Iona
I have been isolated from the
outside world for seven years.
[12:46] Gunzou
Seven years?
[12:47] Gunzou
Who are you?
[12:49] Iona
I obey the orders I have
been given... I am a tool.
[12:59] Gunzou
What are you?
[13:01] Iona
Chihaya Gunzou.
[13:03] Iona
I have been ordered to obey you.
[13:06] Iona
I know nothing else.
[13:10] Iona
Confirm: What is your purpose?
[13:13] Gunzou
My purpose?
[13:19] Gunzou
I...
[13:24] Gunzou
I want the strength... to break
the stagnant status quo.
[13:30] Gunzou
Even if we stay here,
[13:32] Gunzou
our time will only go to
waste while we do nothing.
[13:35] Gunzou
That's not what I'm living for!
[13:38] Iona
Understood.

At last, I can activate.

[14:54] Iona
I don't know.
[14:56] Iona
I only know one thing:
[14:57] Iona
make contact with you, and obey.
[15:01] Iona
That is the only order that
remains in my memory.
[15:06] Iona
We are weapons.
[15:08] Iona
We engage in battle under orders.
[15:11] Iona
That is our entire existence.
[15:13] Iona
That is why we desire orders.

[15:47] Gunzou
We'll go through their barrier.
[15:48] Gunzou
Don't counterattack.
[15:50] Iona
Okay.
[15:58] Gunzou
Can you withstand this?
[15:59] Iona
For a little while.
[16:00] Gunzou
How long?
[16:02] Iona
Thirty seconds.
[16:03] Gunzou
What?!
[16:04] Iona
This is my first time allowing
a human body on board.
[16:06] Iona
My calculations are not fast enough.
[16:07] Gunzou
Can you dive?
[16:09] Iona

No enemy sonar contact

End combat.

That was the first time I had a captain.

[17:22] Iona
I was named as such,

[17:30] Gunzou
Ever since then,
we've been fugitives.
[17:32] Iona

SIGN Kamikage Ryuujirou Assistant Secretary, Ministry of Military Affairs
[18:03] Kamikage
Nice work on the SSTO job, Chihaya Gunzou-kun.
[18:08] Gunzou
So you're Kamikage-san, our client?
[18:11] Gunzou
If you had hired us earlier,
[18:14] Gunzou
we could have reduced the
damage taken by the military.
[18:16] Kamikage
Due to the Fog's jamming,
[18:17] Kamikage
we cannot use long-range comm systems.
[18:20] Kamikage
Don't ask the impossible of us.
[18:22] Kamikage
Besides, we adults have our reasons.
[18:25] Gunzou
Politics, is that it?
[18:27] Gunzou
That's an excuse.
[18:29] Gunzou
It's just a detour, isn't that right?
[18:33] Kamikage
Not everyone can do as you do.
[18:35] Kamikage
Someone has to do the dirty work, too.
[18:38] Gunzou
Is that so?
[18:41] Gunzou
Well, we have finished the job.
[18:43] Gunzou
We'll be leaving now.

Will you stop that?
[18:46] Kamikaze
If anything were to happen to him...
[18:49] Kamikaze
she will attack us.
[18:53] Kamikage
Chihaya-kun, will your battles lead
to a way out of this impasse?
[18:58] Kamikage
Don't misunderstand.
[19:00] Kamikage
I think highly of your combat
records over the past
[19:04] ---
two years in your battle against the Fog.
[19:07] Gunzou
What's your point?
[19:10] Kamikage
We just received word that the SSTO
was destroyed while in orbit.
[19:18] Kamikage
In it was a sample of a new
weapon developed by Japan,
[19:21] Kamikage
the vibration warhead.
[19:24] Gunzou
Vibration warhead?
[19:25] Kamikage
Indeed.
[19:27] Kamikage
It is not as though we were
idle during the two years
[19:31] Kamikage
that you were taking on the Fog by yourself.
[19:34] Gunzou
Why America?
[19:35] Kamikage
Japan no longer has the resources
to manufacture them en masse.
[19:40] Kamikage
Chihaya Gunzou-kun,
[19:42] Kamikage
I'd like to ask another task of you.
[19:45] Kamikage
I'd like you to carry the hope of humanity...
[19:48] Kamikage
our last hope.
[19:51] K
A new weapon?
[19:53] K
A torpedo, then?
[19:55] Sou
It seems they have finished analyzing
the Fog's corrosive torpedo
[19:58] Sou
and made further improvements.
[20:00] Sou
Much of it is a black box,
[20:02] Sou
but it does seem that man could strike back
[20:04] Sou
if this can be mass produced.
[20:08] Gunzou
If America still even exists.
[20:10] K
Don't be such a downer.
[20:12] Gunzou
The secret agreement with America
was made three months ago,
[20:17] Gunzou
after which all communications ceased.
[20:18] Gunzou
We don't know what things
are like there, now.
[20:21] Iori
Iona, are you sure you can't tell?
[20:23] Iona
I am cut off from the fleet.
[20:27] Iona
All I know is what I've been able to detect.
[20:31] Iori
That's true...
[20:32] Shizuka
So, direct transport by sea is our only option.
[20:35] K
They do say the continent
is torn by civil strife.
[20:38] K
It'd be too dangerous to go by land.
[20:42] Shizuka
To think we can't trust our fellow humans.
[20:45] Sou
And that's why you took the job, Captain?
[20:48] Gunzou
Yeah.
[20:49] Gunzou
We're the only ones who
can make this happen.
[20:53] Gunzou
The handoff for the new
weapon sample will take place
[20:55] ---
at the Port of Yokosuka.
[20:56] Iona
Understood.
[20:58] Iona
Setting course for Yokosuka.
[21:00] Gunzou
Let's go get this last hope for humanity.
[21:07] Kamikage
Hope for humanity, huh?
[21:11] Security
Couldn't we have subdued I-401?
[21:15] Kamikage
401 is sentient.
[21:18] Kamikage
It only obeys Chihaya Gunzou.
[21:21] Security
Because it has a Mental Model?
[21:24] Kamikage
A traitor to the Fog,
and a traitor to humanity...
[21:28] Kamikage
An interesting combination, isn't it?

That traitor, siding with the humans...
[22:40] Takao
I'll turn you to dust.

[02:32] Iona
Active decoy destroyed.
[02:35] Iona
We have three more remaining in action.
[02:38] Gunzou
Sonar, status on Takao?
[02:40] Shizuka
It's continuing to cruise in tandem
with the eye of the typhoon.
[02:44] Iori
A heavy cruiser, huh?
[02:46] Iori
That's a pretty big fish.
[02:49] Gunzou
I would have expected even a Fog ship
[02:51] Gunzou
to suffer from reduced detection
abilities in this weather, but...
[02:55] Shizuka
Takao has sunk our decoys
with perfect accuracy.
[02:59] Gunzou
Iona, plot the sunk decoys again.
[03:02] Iona
Understood.
[03:07] Gunzou
Overlay Takao's detection range.
[03:09] Iona
Applying overlay.
[03:15] K
It lines up perfectly.
[03:16] Gunzou
Yeah.
[03:17] Gunzou
Takao's detection range hasn't
decreased as much as I'd expected.
[03:20] Shizuka
Um...
[03:22] Shizuka
May I make a suggestion?
[03:25] Gunzou
Go ahead.
[03:26] Shizuka
Why don't we divert our course to the
[03:28] Shizuka
outer sea and work our way
around Takao's territory?
[03:32] Shizuka
A protracted battle will
put us at a disadvantage.
[03:37] Sou
Wouldn't Takao simply reposition
itself if we do that?
[03:41] Shizuka
That's true, but...
[03:44] Gunzou
Iona, plot the course to Yokosuka.
[03:47] Iona
Request received.
[03:49] Gunzou
We are currently within
Typhoon 11's storm zone.
[03:53] Gunzou
Plan A involves continuing our current course
along the Typhoon's path, then turning north,
[03:57] Gunzou
avoiding detection by Takao,
and entering the Port of Yokosuka.
[04:00] K
That plan's already bust.
[04:02] Gunzou
That leaves us with Plan B.
[04:04] ---
Leave the typhoon,
circle around Takao's picket line,
[04:07] ---
and approach Yokosuka.
[04:09] ---
This is Shizuka's suggestion.
[04:12] ---
However, there's no guarantee
that Takao won't pursue us.
[04:15] ---
Plus, it would mean that
we may arrive in Yokosuka
[04:19] ---
with Takao still hot on our heels.
[04:22] ---
The problem is what
the Fog will do at that point.
[04:26] ---
Until now, their targets were limited
[04:28] ---
to ships and aircraft that attempted
to depart for the open sea.
[04:34] ---
However...
[04:36] ---
Iona, what would Takao
do if a ship broke through
[04:39] ---
the naval blockade and attempted to
[04:42] ---
enter the Port of Yokosuka?
[04:43] Iona
She would attack.
[04:45] Gunzou
Even after the ship has entered port?
[04:47] Iona
Probably.
[04:48] Gunzou
The Admirality Code,
which is the highest order
[04:51] ---
commanding the Fleet of Fog,
[04:52] Gunzou
has forbidden direct attacks on
land targets for reasons unknown.
[04:57] Gunzou
Is that correct, Iona?
[04:58] Iona
Yes.
[04:59] Gunzou
But, it permits collateral damage
[05:02] ---
incurred during their attacks on ships?
[05:06] Iona
That is also correct.
[05:08] Gunzou
Consequently, it's likely
the Port of Yokosuka
[05:11] Gunzou
will suffer damage as a result
of our being attacked.
[05:14] K
We can't let that happen.
[05:16] K
There are residential areas
right next to the harbor.
[05:19] K
It'd be a disaster.
[05:20] Gunzou
There's another factor, too.
[05:23] Gunzou
The typhoon will eventually become
a tropical depression, and disperse.
[05:26] Gunzou
That will significantly reduce
our chances of victory.
[05:30] Sou
So we have a limited
window of opportunity.
[05:33] Gunzou
That brings us to Plan C.
[05:36] Gunzou
We defeat Takao here.
[05:39] K
We're talking a heavy cruiser, here!
[05:42] Iona
Defeat... Takao...
[05:45] Gunzou
Iona, status on decoys?
[05:48] Iona
Quantum communications nominal.
[05:50] Iona
They'll be fine for at
least two more hours.
[05:52] Gunzou
I see.
[05:54] Gunzou
Iori.
[05:55] Iori
Here.
[05:56] Gunzou
How long can we maintain
combat-level energy outputs?
[05:58] Iori
I can guarantee three minutes!
[06:01] Gunzou
All right.
[06:02] Gunzou
Surface, Iona.
[06:04] Gunzou
Move the decoys at the
same time, as well.
[06:05] Gunzou
Can you do it?
[06:06] Iona
Yes.
[06:07] Iona
We'll surface with the decoys.
[06:09] K
We're gonna surface?
[06:10] K
Are you serious?
[06:11] Gunzou
I am.
[06:12] Gunzou
We'll use the storm as a screen
[06:14] Gunzou
and attack Takao before
it gets our bearings.
[06:17] Gunzou
Start engines!
[06:19] Gunzou
Output at five percent!
[06:21] Iori
Starting engines.
Five percent output.
[06:30] Gunzou
Graviton floats online.
[06:32] Gunzou
Increase buoyancy by six from neutral.
[06:34] Gunzou
Surface at slow speed!
[06:35] Iona
Commencing surface.
[06:37] Gunzou
Maintain level trim.
[06:39] Gunzou
Go with the current.
[06:40] Gunzou
Surface simultaneously with the decoys.
[06:42] Gunzou
All men to battle stations!
[06:47] Takao
They're on the move!
[06:48] Takao
Four contacts.
[06:50] Takao
Is one real,
[06:52] Takao
or are they all decoys?
[06:54] Takao
Whatever the case,
[06:56] Takao
do they really think they can
[06:57] Takao
use the storm to shield themselves
from me on the surface?
[07:05] Gunzou
Iona, do you believe Takao is
already aware of our movements?
[07:09] Iona
Not possible, given Takao's specs.
[07:12] Gunzou
What about your Concept Comm System?
[07:14] Iona
Our Concept Comm System isn't affected
by distance and interference.
[07:18] K
So Takao totally knows.
[07:20] Iona
All Takao knows is that I still exist.
[07:25] Iona
She's not able to determine
my direction and distance.
[07:29] K
All right!
[07:30] K
I guess we have a chance.
[07:34] Takao
I see. So that's the real 401.
[07:43] Shizuka
Takao's noise levels are increasing?
[07:49] Shizuka
Takao is turning about.
[07:50] Sou
Have we been found?
[07:52] Gunzou
Stay calm.
[07:53] Gunzou
Continue to surface.
[07:55] Iona
Roger, steady as she goes.
[08:01] Takao
Engage.
[08:20] Takao
First, I'll drop your Klein Field to
critical levels with one blow.
[08:25] Gunzou
Forward torpedo tubes, standby!
[08:27] Gunzou
Load tubes one through three
with low-frequency torpedoes!
[08:30] K
Roger.
[08:31] Gunzou
Load tube seven with a corrosive torpedo!
[08:34] Gunzou
Once loading's complete, open
outer doors for all tubes!
[08:36] Shizuka
What is this?
[08:38] Shizuka
Captain, I'm picking up a strange noise.
[08:41] Sou
It's not from the typhoon?
[08:43] Shizuka
It might be...
[08:45] Shizuka
but I've never heard anything like this.
[08:48] K
Loading complete, doors open.
[08:53] Iona
Gunzou.
[08:56] Gunzou
No, it's nothing.
[09:01] Takao
I won't be like Hyuuga.
[09:06] Iona
Depth 15.
[09:09] Takao
Hurry up to the surface, 401...
[09:13] Iona
Depth 10.
[09:14] Iona
Approaching surface.
[09:21] Takao
That's it...
[09:23] Takao
Yes, that's the way...
[09:25] Iona
3 seconds till surface.
[09:27] Iona
2...
[09:28] Iona
1...
[09:29] Iona
Surface.
[09:31] Gunzou
Sidekick!
[09:32] Gunzou
Hard to port!
[09:33] Iona
Sidekick, hard to port.
[09:49] Gunzou
Reverse floats!
[09:50] Gunzou
Maximum output!
[09:51] Gunzou
Crash dive!
[09:51] Gunzou
Launch everything we've got!
[09:53] K
Takao knows our precise location!
[10:05] Takao
I missed?
[10:06] Takao
But my timing for the supergravity
cannon was perfect...
[10:12] Gunzou
Tubes one through three,
launch low-frequency torpedoes!
[10:15] Gunzou
Detonate at will!
[10:16] Gunzou
Stir up the waters!
[10:17] K
Roger!
[10:18] K
Seven seconds till detonation!
[10:20] K
Launch!
[10:25] Shizuka
Sonar detecting multiple contacts,
incoming at high speed!
[10:27] Shizuka
Torpedoes!
[10:28] Gunzou
Iona!
[10:29] Gunzou
Use the active decoys as shields!
[10:31] Iona
Understood.
[10:35] Shizuka
We've lost the three decoys.
[10:37] K
Low-frequency torpedo detonation in...
T minus three seconds.
[10:39] Gunzou
Shizuka! Mute headphones.
[10:46] Gunzou
Cut engines!
[10:47] Gunzou
Enter silent running!
[10:58] Takao
I've lost contact with 401?
[11:16] Sou
Hull and watertight integrity nominal.
[11:20] Sou
We lost a few sensors,
[11:22] Sou
but currently no cause for concern.
[11:24] Gunzou
Kyouhei.
[11:25] K
Weapons system, vetronics nominal.
[11:29] K
We can go anytime.
[11:30] Gunzou
Iori.
[11:31] Iori
Engine room, all systems nominal.
[11:33] Gunzou
What about the Klein Field?
[11:35] Iori
Oh, thanks to the close encounter
with the supergravity cannon,
[11:39] Iori
it's one step away from
reaching a critical point.
[11:41] Gunzou
Are we okay, Iona?
[11:43] Iona
For now, yes.
[11:44] Iona
But if we don't release the energy
absorbed by the Klein Field,
[11:48] Iona
it will reach a saturation point and collapse.
[11:52] K
If we do that, we'll announce
our location to the enemy.
[11:58] Gunzou
Shizuka, analyze the sound
pattern prior to the
[12:01] Gunzou
supergravity cannon
attack so that we'll be
[12:04] ---
forewarned when Takao tries that again.
[12:07] Shizuka
It's already been added
to the sonic database.
[12:10] K
In any case,
[12:11] K
I'm impressed you realized
[12:13] K
that we were being targeted
by a supergravity cannon.
[12:16] Gunzou
We were lucky that Takao
had such precise aim.
[12:19] Gunzou
Iona, display the combat map
as it was before we surfaced.
[12:23] Iona
Okay.
[12:26] Gunzou
Takao kept its prow pointed
right at us the whole time.
[12:30] Gunzou
That artless honesty gave it away.
[12:32] Gunzou
It's as if it was Takao was announcing
[12:33] Gunzou
to the world that it was targeting the 401.
[12:36] K
I see.
[12:37] K
If we were in Takao's place,
[12:39] K
we would've pretended not to
notice until the last second.
[12:42] Iori
Still, how'd Takao know where
we were with such precision?
[12:48] Iori
It totally ignored the active decoys.
[12:50] K
Wasn't that just, like,
dumb luck or something?
[12:54] Iona
I don't think so.
[12:59] Gunzou
What do you mean?
[13:01] Iona
I just feel that Takao had been
watching me the whole time.
[13:04] Iona
Ever since we made our move,
[13:06] Iona
I feel like she never
took her eyes off of me.
[13:11] K
That's a pretty vague description
coming from someone of the Fog.
[13:15] Iona
I can't express it well in words.
[13:17] Iona
This is the best I can do.
[13:19] Gunzou
I get it, now.
[13:20] K
Huh?
[13:21] K
What do you mean?
[13:22] Gunzou
There's no such thing
[13:23] ---
as coincidence when it
comes to the Fog.
[13:26] Gunzou
There's another one out there.
[13:29] Gunzou
Iona, analyze the detection range
based on the cannon attack,
[13:34] Gunzou
and overlay that on Takao's
known range based on her specs.
[13:43] K
Hey, even a fast battleship's detection
range would be beat by that.
[13:46] K
That's impossible!
[13:48] Iona
It isn't impossible.
[13:50] Iona
It's the truth.
[13:52] K
Seriously?
[13:53] Iona
Seriously.
[13:56] Gunzou
In addition to this tremendous range,
[13:58] Gunzou
its sonar has a resolution high enough
to distinguish us from a decoy.
[14:03] Gunzou
A ship with that kind of capacity...
[14:06] Sou
Must be some sort of
[14:07] ---
observation submarine with
high stealth capacity.
[14:10] Shizuka
But, our sonar didn't pick
up any other vessels.
[14:17] Gunzou
That just means it's hiding in
the shadow of Takao's echo.
[14:23] Sou
I thought Takao was stationary because
it was leery of the rough seas,
[14:28] Sou
but the real reason was that
it simply couldn't move.
[14:32] K
It would make sense...
[14:35] K
but isn't it just a hypothesis?
[14:37] Gunzou
Hypotheses exist to be proven.
[14:40] Gunzou
It's now our turn to surprise the enemy.
[14:42] Gunzou
Iona, we're going to use
the loot from Hyuuga.
[14:45] Iona
Okay.
[14:46] Iori
Wait a minute!
[14:48] Iori
We've only tested it in simulations!
[14:52] Iori
There's no telling how much it
might burden the system if we use it!
[14:55] Gunzou
Can we do this, Iona?
[14:57] Iona
It'll be okay... I think.
[14:58] Iori
Iona!
[14:59] K
Give it up.
[15:01] K
Our captain may not look it,
but he's a gambler.
[15:06] Iona
Launch.
[15:22] Takao
Finally emerging from your lair, 401?
[15:26] Gunzou
Thirty degrees up trim,
full speed ahead!
[15:35] Gunzou
All men at battle stations!
[15:41] Gunzou
Ready forward torpedo tubes.
[15:43] Gunzou
Load tubes one through six
with homing torpedoes.
[15:45] Gunzou
I leave the homing pattern to you!
[15:46] Gunzou
Load tubes seven and eight
with corrosive torpedoes.
[15:50] K
Roger that.
[15:52] Gunzou
Iona, input specifications
into corrosive torpedoes.
[15:54] Iona
Roger.
[15:56] Gunzou
Launch tubes one through six.
[16:06] Takao
Don't fall behind, 501.
[16:15] Shizuka
Takao changing course to
bearing 185 at 7 knots!
[16:18] K
That's damn slow!
[16:20] K
Maybe it really is hiding
something, just like Gunzou said!
[16:23] Gunzou
Tubes seven and eight,
launch corrosive torpedoes!
[16:59] Takao
Thanatonium readings...
Corrosive torpedoes?
[17:02] Takao
I won't fall for that.
[17:15] Takao
The human who programmed
these torpedoes isn't half bad.
[17:21] Takao
But,
[17:23] ---
can you evade all of these
corrosive warheads?!
[17:29] Shizuka
Takao changing course to bearing 150!
[17:31] Gunzou
Iona, standby!
[17:33] Iona
Understood.
[17:44] Gunzou
Engine output at maximum!
[17:45] Gunzou
Blow the graviton floats!
[17:47] Gunzou
All hands, employ shock resistance!
[17:49] Gunzou
Surface at rapid speed!
[17:58] Takao
Farewell, 401.
[18:06] Takao
What?
[18:19] Takao
A supergravity cannon?
[18:22] Takao
Why would a mere patrol
submarine have that?!
[18:25] Takao
501, emergency evasive maneuvers!
[18:27] Takao
Sever contacts!
[18:39] K
Damn bastard was clinging to Takao
[18:41] K
to look like there was only one ship!
[18:43] Iona
Locked on Takao along firing axis.
[18:55] Gunzou
Her Mental Model?
[18:57] Gunzou
Decrease firing angle by three degrees!
[18:59] Iona
Decreasing angle by three degrees.
[19:01] K
But we'll miss Takao—
[19:02] Gunzou
That's fine!
[19:10] Shizuka
Takao's attempting to break away.
[19:12] Iori
Hurry up!
[19:13] Iori
I can't maintain this energy flow!
[19:15] Gunzou
All hands, brace for imminent shock.
[19:17] Gunzou
Fire supergravity cannon!
[19:20] Iona
Firing.
[19:48] Kamikage
I see.
[19:50] Kamikage
401 won.
[19:58] Kamikage
Impressive, Chihaya Gunzou.
[20:17] Kongou
It seems you've lost.
[20:21] Takao
It's just a weapon
lockdown for 24 hours.
[20:24] Takao
Because...
[20:24] Takao
401 was hiding a supergravity cannon.
[20:28] Takao
But, why did she have that?
[20:31] Kongou
They must've looted it off Hyuuga.
[20:33] Kongou
Humans are very creative.
[20:36] Takao
It was Hyuuga's?!
[20:37] Kongou
401 and Hyuuga have
engaged in the past.
[20:41] Kongou
And Hyuuga lost.
[20:43] Takao
To suffer theft at the hands
of humans... how pathetic.
[20:47] Kongou
And you were forced by 401 to
[20:49] ---
lock your weapons and
retreat to the outer seas.
[20:52] Kongou
How can you belittle Hyuuga?
[20:57] Takao
I won't let them get away with this.
[21:02] Kongou
This isn't like you.
[21:03] Kongou
What are you thinking?
[21:06] Takao
I'll be taking my leave!
[21:22] Gunzou
There you are.
[21:28] Gunzou
I placed quite a strain on you.
[21:31] Iona
It's not a problem.
[21:33] Iona
We are weapons.
[21:35] Iona
Combat is our very reason for existence.
[21:41] Gunzou
I see.
[21:52] Kongou
And you were forced by 401 to
[21:55] ---
lock your weapons and
retreat to the outer seas.
[21:58] Kongou
How can you belittle Hyuuga?
[22:05] Takao
Chihaya Gunzou...
why didn't you sink me?
[22:28] Takao
If I had a human unit aboard,
[22:32] Takao
I would also be capable of such tactics.
[22:40] Takao
I, too, want that unit...

[05:00] G
Iori, inspect the sub with Kyouhei.
[05:02] G
Be extra thorough when inspecting
the supergravity cannon.
[05:06] Iori
Okay!
[05:07] Command
Maintenance crew, begin operations.
[05:09] Command
We repeat.
[05:10] Command
Maintenance crew, begin operations.
[05:13] Iori
Hey, look.
[05:14] K
The navy, eh?
[05:16] K
They sure are wary of us.
[05:20] Iori
Hey, Iona-chan!
[05:22] Iori
Can you open up your belly for us?
[05:43] GuardA
So that's the Fog's supergravity cannon!
[05:45] GuardB
If we got hit by that, we'd be finished.
[05:48] K
How's it look?
[05:50] Iori
Hm...
[05:53] Iori
Well, I doubt we can repair it
[05:57] Iori
until we restock on
nanomaterials at Iwoto.
[05:59] K
Oh boy.
[06:01] Maint
We will resupply your food and normal
munitions as per orders, but...
[06:06] Sou
You are not the only one
suffering financial straits.
[06:09] Sou
We understand.
[06:12] ---
Hm?
[06:13] Sou
Oh, there is no need for concern.
[06:15] Sou
This is to prevent allergies.
[06:17] G
Sou!
[06:19] G
I'm meeting with Assistant
Secretary Kamikage.
[06:21] G
I leave you in command.
[06:23] Sou
Understood.
[06:24] Sou
I will assume command
until you return.
[06:31] I
Gunzou, I have a question.
[06:34] G
What is it?
[06:35] I
I've compared our present
surroundings with two years prior.
[06:38] I
There has been a modest increase
[06:41] ---
in population density and store numbers.
[06:43] I
Why is that?
[06:44] G
I see...
[06:45] G
It must be thanks to that.
[06:48] G
Because the defense
barrier was completed,
[06:50] G
the residents who'd evacuated
inland came back.
[06:53] I
Why?
[06:55] G
Well...
[06:57] G
That must be because they
like the sea, right?
[07:01] I
It's illogical.
[07:02] I
Compared to the inland,
the coastal areas have
[07:04] I
a higher probability of incurring
damage during battles.
[07:07] G
Even so, they want to be near the sea.
[07:11] G
Iona, we're making a side trip.
[07:14] I
Huh?
[07:15] G
It's an illogical whim of sorts.
[07:25] I
Gunzou, what are we
making a side trip for?
[07:28] G
To visit a grave.
[07:29] I
A grave?
[07:31] Makie
Help!
[07:37] Makie
I'm being chased by bad guys!
[07:39] G
Bad guys?
[07:40] Maid
Miss, you must not leave the mansion!
[07:43] Makie
I don't like it there!
[07:44] Makie
I'm going on a journey of freedom!
[07:46] G
Bad guys...
[07:48] G
You mean them?
[07:53] Maid
Let's go home now, Miss.
[07:54] Makie
L-Let me go!
[07:55] Makie
At least let me go out whenever I want!
[07:59] I
I have conducted a database
search on that girl.
[08:04] G
On her?
[08:05] I
She appears to be living in a
western-style mansion nearby...
[08:08] I
by herself.
[08:09] G
By herself?
[08:10] G
But she's so young.
[08:11] I
Further information, including her
family structure, is unknown.
[08:15] G
It's unusual for you to take interest
in people who aren't crew members.
[08:20] I
That girl...
[08:25] Maint
That's the last of them.
[08:27] K
Understood.
[08:31] Sou
That's the last of it?
[08:33] K
Yeah.
[08:33] Iori
Kyouhei...
[08:35] K
Hm?
[08:36] Iori
Sorry.
[08:37] Iori
I think we've been caught.
[08:40] K
Huh?!
[08:41] K
What about the navy?!
[08:46] K
Sou, these guys...
[08:48] Sou
Yes, they appear to be the army.
[08:54] Guy
I-401 crew members,
[08:56] Guy
it is our pleasure to
invite you to dinner.
[09:18] G
This is a memorial for those who
died in the war against the Fog.
[09:24] G
This s a cemetery for the navy.
[09:27] I
"Cemetery"?
[09:28] G
A place to honor
[09:30] ---
the dead, and comfort their souls.
[09:33] I
The dead...
[09:34] I
Those who have ceased vital functions?
[09:39] I
Is there any meaning in honoring the dead?
[09:43] G
Meaning?
[09:49] G
The meaning might be to allow
[09:51] ---
those left behind to come
to terms with reality.
[09:54] I
This is just a place.
[09:57] G
It's humans that give meaning to places.
[10:01] G
Doing so gives us peace.
[10:05] I
It is meaningless.
[10:07] G
Meaningless, huh?
[10:10] G
Perhaps the act of seeking
meaning in meaningless acts
[10:13] G
is proof that humans have evolved.
[10:19] I
It's a bit similar to the "noise" that,
[10:21] ---
through its copying process
and subsequent degradation,
[10:23] I
activates a relentless proliferation
[10:25] ---
system in order to maintain diversity.
[10:35] G
The army?
[10:40] Guy
You must be Captain Chihaya.
[10:41] Guy
A certain gentleman seeks
an audience with you.
[10:45] Guy
We would like you to come with us.
[10:47] I
Gunzou, shall I neutralize them?
[10:51] G
It would be rude to disturb
the slumber of the war dead.
[10:55] G
We will accept the invitation.
[11:10] Manager
Mr. Chihaya Gunzou, your
colleagues are waiting for you.
[11:19] K
Hey, you two.
[11:22] Kita
I've been waiting for you,
Chihaya Gunzou-kun.
[11:27] G
You are...
[11:29] G
Kita Ryoukan?
[11:31] Sou
A former admiral who is now
a national diet member.
[11:34] Sou
He's a political powerhouse,
thought to be the strongest contender
[11:34] Shizuka
Wow...
[11:35] K
Just means it's available to a select few.
[11:37] Sou
to become the next prime minister.
[11:39] Iori
Hey, he's right in
front of us, you know.
[11:43] G
And what could someone
of such influence want with us?
[11:49] Kita
Is that young lady the
mental model of 401?
[11:53] G
Yes.
[11:54] Kita
I see...
[11:56] Kita
She looks indistinguishable
from a human being.
[11:59] G
Did you invite us here so
that you could look at Iona?
[12:03] Kita
Unfortunately, my hobbies do
not include taking my meals
[12:06] ---
while appreciating little dolls.
[12:09] Kita
Well then, allow me to get to the point.
[12:13] Kita
Would you be so kind as to
return 401 to the government?
[12:19] G
Unfortunately,
[12:21] G
we cannot agree to that.
[12:23] G
We are in the midst of a mission.
[12:25] Kita
Are you referring to Kamikage?
[12:28] Kita
That will not pose a problem.
[12:30] G
It is not that simple.
[12:32] G
Since we have accepted the task,
[12:34] G
we have the responsibility
to see it through.
[12:36] Kita
Responsibility, eh?
[12:38] Kita
That's a word you don't often hear from
the mouth of any grown man these days.
[12:44] Kita
Despite our ongoing
communications issues,
[12:47] Kita
we still heard of your and
I-401's many exploits.
[12:54] Kita
And in these past two years,
[12:56] Kita
you have not only
survived against the Fog,
[12:58] Kita
but also dealt major
blows to their fleet.
[13:02] Kita
Your feats have made a
profound impression upon me.
[13:05] K
Well, we're just a stingy delivery boat.
[13:10] Kita
It is for that very reason
[13:12] Kita
that I have come to
believe that your fates
[13:14] Kita
cannot be left in 401's hands,
when her very existence
[13:17] ---
is synonymous with danger.
[13:20] G
Danger?
[13:21] G
Do you mean from 401?
[13:23] Kita
Of course.
[13:24] Kita
She is of the Fog.
[13:27] Kita
It is only a matter of time
before she gets out of hand.
[13:31] Kita
All the more reason to
relinquish her operations
[13:35] Kita
to highly trained,
experienced men who
[13:37] ---
are legitimate soldiers,
wouldn't you agree?
[13:41] Kita
Not to mention, there is
every possibility that a vessel
[13:44] Kita
whose core is in the grips of a monster,
[13:46] ---
this mental model,
may turn on us one day.
[13:50] Kita
Who can rightfully believe that
such a vessel deserves our trust?
[13:56] G
Trust, you say.
[13:59] G
I mean no disrespect, but I disagree.
[14:03] G
Isn't it you, the ones who have
[14:05] ---
accomplished nothing during
the seven years following
[14:07] G
the Great Naval Battle,
who do not deserve our trust?
[14:11] G
Official military training and experience
[14:14] G
are completely ineffective against the Fog.
[14:16] G
Do you still not understand that?
[14:20] G
And I cannot trust you if
you call Iona a monster.
[14:27] Kita
Do you like that doll so much?
[14:31] G
You still—
[14:41] Kita
I was hoping it would not
prove necessary to do this.
[14:55] Maya
Hey, Kongou.
[14:56] Maya
Did you know that in Russia,
they put jam in their tea?
[15:00] Kongou
"Jam"?
[15:01] Maya
Also known as "preserves"!
[15:03] Maya
A non-perishable food made
by boiling fruit and sugar!
[15:06] Kongou
What happens when that is added to tea?
[15:09] Maya
Who knows?
[15:10] Maya
It just feels more trendy
than using these cubes.
[15:14] Kongou
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[15:18] Maya
What are you going to do with 401?
[15:20] Kongou
I'm going to sink it.
[15:21] Kongou
I have already taken steps.
[15:25] Maya
Oh, so that's why you sent those two ships.
[15:28] Maya
Hey, would that count as "tactics"?
[15:31] Kongou
Tactics, huh?
[15:33] Kongou
In the past, we pushed humanity
to the brink with sheer power.
[15:38] Kongou
However, that was simply because
[15:40] Kongou
we possessed unstoppable weapons
and impenetrable shields.
[15:47] Kongou
Had humanity possessed
technology equal to our own,
[15:49] Kongou
the Fog would have been defeated,
as tactics are a foreign concept to us.
[15:52] Kongou
If so, then how can the Fog
develop a capacity for tactics?
[15:57] Kongou
This was the answer.
[15:59] Kongou
The limits of a human body have
developed our ability to reason,
[16:02] Kongou
and reason leads to the formation of ego.
[16:05] Maya
Ugh... It's too sweet.
[16:08] Kongou
In concurrence with obtaining an ego,
[16:10] ---
we also acquired a concept of time
[16:12] Kongou
and learned how to foresee the future.
[16:14] Kongou
Thus, we became capable of tactics.
[16:17] Kongou
However, there is nothing more
for us to learn from humans.
[16:21] Kongou
There is no further
need to observe 401.
[16:24] Kongou
One might even say it would be
harmful for us to continue.
[16:26] Maya
We can't end up like Takao.
[16:33] Kongou
Indeed.

Let's talk about the most important person
on a ship, the captain.
The captain knows everything about his ship,
in order to make his ship do exactly what he wants.

"The captain knows
everything about his ship,
[16:49] Takao
in order to make his ship

To do exactly... what he wants...
[16:59] G
Come to me, Takao.
[17:02] Takao
To make* me*... do exactly what he wants...
[17:12] Takao
You showed up faster than expected.
[17:14] 400
Indeed.
[17:15] 402
The submarine fleet's main
objective is to gather intelligence.
[17:18] Takao
Intelligence?
[17:20] Takao
That's a new concept.
[17:22] Takao
So, what do you want with me,
[17:25] Takao
400 and 402?
[17:29] 400
We would like to learn your
reasons for leaving the fleet.
[17:33] 402
Because you cut yourself off
from the concept comm system,
[17:36] 402
we had no choice but to come to you.
[17:39] Takao
I want to have
[17:42] ---
a captain.
[17:43] 400
A captain?
[17:44] 402
Are you referring to Chihaya Gunzou?
[17:47] Takao
He is capable of using me more
effectively than even I can.
[17:51] Takao
I want to become stronger.
[17:54] Takao
Hardly unreasonable for
a weapon, don't you think?
[17:56] 400
And is this part of a plan of some kind?
[18:01] Takao
I'll figure that out.
[18:02] 402
So there is none.
[18:03] 400
You left the Fog without
any plan whatsoever?
[18:06] Takao
Shut up!
[18:19] Takao
I won't be returning to the fleet.
[18:22] Takao
I will be at Chihaya Gunzou's side.
[18:24] Takao
That's fine for now, isn't it?
[18:26] 400
It is sufficient.
[18:27] 402
Kirishima and Haruna will
soon make contact with 401.
[18:31] 402
It's too late for you to go there now.
[18:33] Takao
I am not going to Yokosuka.
[18:39] Takao
When I made contact with 401,
[18:41] Takao
I caught a brief glimpse of a place
that looked very interesting.
[18:44] Takao
I will wait for him there.
[18:54] 402
That is no longer the
Takao we once knew.
[18:57] 400
Yes...
[18:58] 400
The Fog is about to change.
[19:00] 402
We will need to continue
monitoring the situation.

Yes, by using her.
[19:06] 402
Using her...

Isn't that coming from

Chihaya Gunzou, what are you
planning to do, exactly?
[21:07] G
What?
[21:08] Kita
The power of 401,
[21:10] Kita
no, of the Fog, will
quite possibly determine the
[21:13] ---
future of the world, depending
on the circumstance.
[21:16] Kita
Are you fully aware of that?
[21:19] G
I don't know what the future holds.

But, I do know that my
future is a part of it.
[21:26] G
If there is a power that can
open the way to the future,
[21:29] G
I want to use that power and
try to see where it leads.
[21:34] Kita
Even if that decision will
bring about your death?
[21:40] G
If it was decided by my

free will, I wouldn't
want it any other way.
[21:45] Kita
Tell me, 401.
[21:47] Kita
What is it that your brethren
intend to do with this world?
[21:51] Kita
Is your purpose to destroy us
and gain dominion over Earth?
[21:56] I
I do not know.
[22:00] I
I am a weapon.
[22:01] I
I merely follow Gunzou's orders.
[22:05] I
But, today I have come to realize

that I exist so that Gunzou will live.

[05:17] G
Iona, you have control of our depth.
[05:19] G
Crawl us along the ocean floor.
[05:21] I
Crawling.
[05:30] Kiri
She dove.
[05:31] Kiri
Will she run?
[05:33] H
No, it doesn't seem like she's
headed for the open sea.
[05:36] Kiri
As suspected, this is entirely different
[05:39] Kiri
from 401's old combat methods.
[05:41] H
Kirishima, give me some time with her.
[05:44] Kiri
Haruna?
[05:44] H
I want to speak with her.
[05:48] G
What is it?
[05:50] I
They're calling me.
[05:54] H
It's been a while, 401.
[05:56] I
Kirishima... Haruna.
[05:59] Kiri
This is our first time meeting in this form.
[06:01] I
What do you want with me?
[06:04] Kiri
Why don't you take a seat first?
[06:06] Kiri
I've heard that's what humans do
when they engage in conversation.
[06:12] Kiri
We have received orders from our
flagship, Kongou, to sink you.
[06:18] I
I know.
[06:19] Kiri
But, Haruna wants to
talk to you before that.
[06:23] I
Talk?
[06:25] H
401, why do you side with the humans?
[06:28] H
What compels you to do so?
[06:30] Kiri
Takao also abandoned her duties
[06:32] Kiri
and the fleet after she
engaged you in combat.
[06:35] Kiri
She's in search of a human crew.
[06:37] I
Takao...
[06:39] Kiri
Now that we have
obtained physical bodies,
[06:40] Kiri
there is nothing more we
can gain from humans.
[06:44] Kiri
That is the conclusion
Kongou has reached.
[06:47] H
Do you feel humans still have
something to offer, or?
[06:53] I
I don't know.
[06:54] I
But,
[06:55] ---
I need a captain right now.
[06:59] I
I have become Chihaya Gunzou's ship.
[07:02] H
I see.
[07:05] G
Iona?
[07:06] I
I'm fine.
[07:08] G
All right.
[07:09] G
I'm going to lay out our strategy.
[07:12] G
Here is our current location,
[07:14] G
as well as that of
Kirishima and Haruna.
[07:16] G
We will deploy our
operation from this point.
[07:19] K
So that's where Phase 2 begins.
[07:22] G
That's right.
[07:23] G
Iori, engines at maximum output!
[07:25] Iori
Roger!
[07:33] Kiri
You won't get away.
[07:35] Sou
This is Old Yokosuka City.
It sank due to the rise in sea levels.
[07:40] Sou
Nice move, Captain.
[07:42] Shizuka
Sonar scatter will occur here,
[07:44] Shizuka
which should make it difficult for
the enemy to pinpoint our location.
[07:48] G
Good.
[07:48] G
Iori, cut engines.
[07:50] Iori
Huh?
[07:51] Iori
Oh, okay. Understood.
[07:57] G
Yokosuka's defense barrier has
vents at regular intervals.
[08:03] G
The sea water entering and exiting
[08:05] G
through those vents passes
between these scattered buildings,
[08:08] G
which causes complex currents
in this entire area.
[08:11] Sou
I see.
[08:12] Sou
If we move using these currents...
[08:15] G
We can get behind the enemy
[08:17] G
without being detected.
[08:20] G
Kyouhei, scatter canisters.
[08:23] K
All right!
[08:37] Shizuka
Enemy ships are moving upward
above the submerged building complex.
[08:40] G
Iona.
[08:41] I
Understood.
[09:01] H
The torpedoes are launching
from multiple directions.
[09:03] H
They were not from 401.
[09:06] H
There must be semi-automated
torpedo launchers.
[09:10] Kiri
Are they trying to throw us off?
[09:25] I
Gunzou.
[09:27] G
Yeah.
[09:27] G
The real fight starts now.
[09:31] H
All torpedo launchers have been neutralized.
[09:34] Kiri
These toys are all she got
for letting humans on board?
[09:38] Kiri
I struggle to comprehend the point.
[09:40] H
However, they were effective.
[09:42] H
We have lost 401's current location.
[09:48] H
401's actions are unpredictable to us
[09:51] H
now that she has humans aboard.
[09:53] H
Both Hyuuga and Takao were defeated
because they were unable to handle that.
[09:56] Kiri
Are you implying that we will
suffer the same fate as they did?
[10:01] H
That's not what I mean.
[10:02] H
But, were that to happen,
[10:05] H
we may experience regret.
[10:08] Kiri
"Regret"?
[10:09] H
It expresses one's delayed vexation over
a decision made in error, apparently.
[10:15] Kiri
How ridiculous.
[10:16] Kiri
What meaning is there in
rejecting an decision
[10:20] Kiri
after the results have come to pass?
[10:23] H
I do not know.
[10:24] H
But, humans apparently do so frequently.
[10:28] Kiri
What nonsense.
[10:30] Kiri
We are weapons.
[10:32] Kiri
We should just focus on
sinking the enemy before us.
[10:36] H
However...
[10:38] H
Thanatonium readings straight ahead.
[10:46] H
Sonar contact ahead.
[10:48] H
It is too large to be a decoy.
[10:51] Kiri
It must be 401.
[10:53] Kiri
I guess you've given
up on hide-and-seek.
[11:05] Kiri
Sink.
[11:08] H
Kirishima!
[11:18] Kiri
From behind?!
[11:20] Kiri
But 401 is in front of us!
[11:23] Kiri
What is that?
[11:25] H
It's the battleship Mikasa,
[11:26] H
launched in 1902.
[11:29] ---
Constructed as part of the Imperial
Japanese Navy's 6-6 Fleet Plan.
[11:34] ---
It sank along with Old Yokosuka City.
[11:36] ---
They deceived us by scattering
active nanomaterial particles
[11:40] ---
on the ship's surface.
[11:46] K
Damn, it didn't work.
[11:48] K
And here I thought it
was such a great idea!
[11:51] Sou
In addition, our move just now
revealed our real location to them.
[11:56] G
Iori, engine output at maximum.
[11:58] Iori
Huh?!
[11:59] G
Full speed ahead!
[12:00] I
Full speed ahead.
[12:01] K
What?!
[12:02] K
Ahead?!
[12:03] K
You want to ram into the enemy?
[12:06] Kiri
They're toying with us both, Haruna.
[12:11] Kiri
Good, 401.
[12:14] Kiri
I've never had so much fun.
[12:18] Kiri
Indeed, we are weapons.
[12:20] Kiri
Our only reason for existence is
to engage and destroy the enemy.
[12:25] Kiri
That's right...
[12:26] Kiri
I want to sink her with my own hands.
[12:29] Kiri
No matter what!
[12:31] H
Kirishima's emotion emulator
values are changing rapidly.
[12:35] H
This is...
[12:37] Kiri
I will crush you!
[12:41] Shizuka
Multiple torpedoes launched!
[12:43] Shizuka
Three barrages, over sixty torpedoes total!
[12:45] Shizuka
Torpedoes now hitting the water!
[12:48] Shizuka
More than 120 total!
[12:49] Shizuka
Still more incoming!
[12:57] K
Damn, fast battleships sure
don't pull their punches!
[12:59] Kiri
She's coming right at us!
[13:01] Kiri
Have you gone mad, 401?
[13:04] H
No, she hasn't.
[13:09] Kiri
She just passed beneath us?
[13:11] Kiri
Going through all that trouble
to show your back to us?
[13:14] Kiri
You and your crew have some nerve.
[13:16] Kiri
Whatever you've got planned...
[13:18] Kiri
I'll stop you!
[13:26] K
Are we really gonna survive this?!
[13:28] I
Klein Field operating at 95 percent.
[13:31] I
We have a 5 percent buffer. We'll be fine.
[13:34] K
Isn't that already pushing it?!
[13:36] I
Now.
[13:37] G
Anchor the boat!
[13:42] G
All hands, brace for impact!
[14:02] H
No engine sounds, nor heat signature
readings can be confirmed.
[14:08] H
We've lost 401.
[14:26] G
Everyone all right?
[14:27] I
I'm fine.
[14:29] K
Ow...
[14:30] K
I thought I was gonna die.
[14:33] Sou
Life support systems, nominal.
[14:35] Iori
And the engines survived, at least.
[14:38] Shizuka
The anchor is still functional, as well.
[14:40] Sou
Am I correct in assuming
that we're now in Phase 3?
[14:43] G
Right.
[14:44] K
Can we really win this, though?
[14:47] K
The number of remaining corrosive torpedoes...
[14:50] K
is two.
[14:52] I
We can win.
[15:01] Kiri
That wouldn't have sunk her.
[15:04] Kiri
She must be buried under the rubble.
[15:07] H
Why do you think that?
[15:08] Kiri
It'd be too boring to have it end here.
[15:12] H
"Boring," you say?
[15:15] Kirshima
We'll show you who's stronger, 401...
[15:17] Kirshima
You, with humans aboard, or us.
[15:22] H
All right.
[15:23] H
I'll join you, Kirishima.
[15:29] K
Hey, something big's going down!
[15:33] Shizuka
Detecting gravitons on a massive scale!
[15:35] Sou
What's this sound?
[15:36] I
The sea...
[15:38] I
will split open.
[16:11] K
Hey, what the hell is that?
[16:27] K
Th-They've docked together!
[16:33] Sou
So they can do this, too?
[16:35] K
Hey, nobody told me about this!
[16:38] G
No, we are lucky.
[16:41] K
Huh?!
[16:42] G
We won't have to get them one by one.
[16:45] K
This guy intends to sink both of them!
[16:48] Kiri
We have you now!
[16:50] H
Commencing synchronization
of Energy Life Rings.
[16:53] H
Compressing gravitons to degeneracy zone.
[16:56] G
Iori! Engine output at maximum!
[17:02] K
Resist!
[17:03] K
Resist, 401!
[17:06] Shizuka
Tractor beam output rising!
[17:08] K
We're getting hit with two
ships' worth! This'll be tough!
[17:11] Iori
I'm raising the output
on our end, too!
[17:18] Kiri
Not a bad struggle you're
putting up there, 401!
[17:22] H
Critical degeneracy reached in 10 percent.
[17:29] Shizuka
An opening has appeared
in their Klein Field!
[17:31] G
We've got them!
[17:33] Kiri
Struggling won't help you!
[17:35] Iona
When firing the supergravity cannon,
[17:38] Iona
it is necessary to open the Klein Field in
the direction of the cannon's trajectory.
[17:42] Iona
And in order to keep that much energy
[17:44] ---
and spatial distortion under control,
[17:46] ---
the mental models must devote almost
all of their resources to the task.
[17:50] ---
Their other operations suffer as a result.
[17:54] ---
That is our chance.
[17:58] H
Thanatonium.
[18:00] Kiri
We're not falling for that!
[18:08] I
They fended it off.
[18:11] H
Critical degeneracy reached.
[18:19] Kiri
It's over, 401!
[18:29] G
You should keep your trump card
hidden until the very end.
[18:37] H
Emergency stop on supergravity
cannon launch sequence.
[18:40] H
Deploying Klein Field!
[18:42] Kiri
Impossible!
[18:43] Kiri
Where did that come from?
[18:46] Kiri
Another launcher... hidden
in Mikasa's shadows?
[18:53] Kiri
401!
[18:59] H
Unable to... maintain control...
on degenerate energy levels...
[19:03] Kiri
Damn it!
[19:04] Kiri
Can't calculate... Field deployment... in time!
[19:09] H
Unable to halt... launch sequence.
[19:13] H
We're... going to break...
[19:17] Shizuka
Tractor beam output dropping!
[19:19] Shizuka
Klein Field is down!
[19:21] I
If we strike now,
[19:22] I
normal warheads will be able to
deal more than enough damage.
[19:25] G
Fire everything!
[19:36] H
Are we... going to lose?
[19:40] Kiri
This can't be happening...
[19:42] Kiri
How can we... lose?
[19:45] Kiri
Our specifications...
[19:48] Kiri
far surpassed those of 401 in every aspect...
[19:52] Kiri
And yet...
[19:53] H
What is this?
[19:54] H
What am I feeling?
[19:56] Kiri
Haruna!
[20:06] Kiri
Haruna...
[20:09] Kiri
No!
[20:10] Kiri
I...
[20:12] Kiri
I don't want...
[20:17] Kiri
...to die yet!
[20:19] H
Ah, so this is...
[20:24] H
This is...
[20:27] H
This is... regret!
[20:51] Shizuka
There are no signs of either
Kirishima or Haruna.
[20:55] Sou
We managed to pull through,
[20:57] Sou
but that was very close.
[20:59] G
Yeah.
[21:00] G
If Kirishima and Haruna's
processing capacity
[21:03] G
exceeded Iona's projections,
we would've been at risk.
[21:06] K
Man, that was bad for my heart!
[21:09] K
Can you try to keep the gambling
to a minimum, Captain?
[21:13] G
You did well, Iona.
[21:15] I
This is the first time I've sunk
ships with mental models.
[21:20] G
That's true.
[21:21] G
I've put you through a painful experience.
[21:23] I
Painful?
[21:25] I
I don't know.
[21:28] I
I don't know.
[21:41] Makie

[00:14] G
Iona, damage report.
[00:17] I
We have lost 40% of our armaments.
[00:19] G
I see... That's tough.
[00:22] G
Can you repair yourself?
[00:23] I
There is a severe shortage
of nanomaterials.
[00:25] I
I can make stopgap repairs.
[00:27] K
We're also out of corrosive torpedoes.
[00:30] K
If the Fog attacked right
now, we'd be finished.
[00:34] G
We'll need to go to Iwoto.
[00:37] K
I hope we can get back
there in one piece.
[00:42] Shizuka
Message from Control.
[00:45] Shizuka
They're about to load the vibration warhead
[00:47] Shizuka
and perform a diagnostic.
[00:49] Shizuka
They're projecting completion at 2000 hours.
[01:06] G
So, that's the vibration warhead...
[01:08] Sou
It's supposedly more powerful
than the corrosive torpedo.
[01:12] Sou
Uncle Sam must be looking
forward to the delivery.
[01:16] K
So this weapon's a game changer?
[01:18] K
I'm surprised we could
make something so amazing.
[01:24] G
That girl...

Do you remember her, Iona?

Hey, what's with you?
[03:24] I
I sank Kirishima and Haruna.
[03:28] Maya
I hope I'll get to do my part soon, too.
[03:32] I
When I did...
[03:33] I
their thoughts flooded into me.
[03:35] I
It wasn't just regret.
[03:37] I
There was a bit of satisfaction.
[03:39] I
Why?
[03:41] Maya
Because she was able to
save her friend, right?
[03:44] I
"Friend"?
[03:46] I
I see.
[04:06] MaidA
Your guest is still resting.
[04:09] Makie
Thanks.

You haven't told anyone, right?
[04:12] MaidA
No, Miss.

Oh, so it is yours?

I'm Osakabe Makie.

[05:16] Makie
What's the rest of your name?
[05:19] H
Just Haruna.
[05:22] Makie
Oh, Haruna.
[05:24] Makie
I found this on the ground.
[05:26] Makie
Is it yours?
[05:28] H
Yes.
[05:29] Makie
I've never seen this material before.
[05:31] Makie
It feels like metal,
but it's very light.
[05:37] H
Kirishima, are you all right?
[05:39] Kiri
Yeah...
[05:41] Kiri
The Union Core is unscathed,
[05:43] Kiri
but what's going on?
[05:47] H
It appears that this girl saved us
[05:49] H
after we were thrown from the ships.
[05:51] H
I don't know the details.
[05:53] Kiri
I see.
[05:54] Kiri
I will leave the reconnaissance to you.
[05:56] H
Understood.
[06:02] H
What is it?
[06:03] Makie
Well... All of a sudden, you froze.
[06:06] H
I was just deep in thought.
[06:08] Makie
Okay, then...
[06:10] Makie
By the way, why were you
unconscious on our property?
[06:15] H
That's...
[06:21] Makie
And you were practically naked.
[06:24] H
I repurposed the materials
forming my clothing
[06:25] H

absorb the shock of impact.
[06:30] Makie
Crutchable-what?
[06:32] H
Crushable structure.
[06:34] Makie
Whatever.
[06:35] Makie
Hey, why don't you stay
here for a while?
[06:39] Makie
You've got something going on.
[06:41] Makie
If you want to walk around outside,
[06:43] Makie
just wearing underwear
and a coat is bad taste.

"Bad taste"?

Transmitting data on human
apparel throughout history.
[06:58] Kiri
If we are to be active on land,
[07:00] Kiri
it may be beneficial to
improve your appearance.
[07:03] H
I have reached a similar conclusion.
[07:06] H
From your perspective,
[07:07] H
what can I wear that
would not be "bad taste"?
[07:09] Makie
Oh, we have lots of
clothes no one wears.
[07:13] Makie
You can have some!
[07:14] Makie
There's got to be a lot in your size.
[07:17] Makie
Hm, where are they...
[07:21] H

[07:25] Makie
Why?
[07:27] Makie
Well, this is probably some kind of fate!
[07:30] H
"Fate"?
[07:31] Makie
Yeah!
[07:31] Makie
You don't know what fate means?

[07:53] Makie
Oh, well.
[07:55] Makie
But, this is kind of fun, isn't it?

Um, um...

Mm, not this, either...

How about this?

This isn't bad, either!
[08:38] Makie

[09:52] H
No life signatures detected.
[09:55] Kiri
And not just here, either.
[09:56] Kiri
Even though this is a large structure,
[09:58] Kiri
there are very few life signatures.
[09:59] MaidA
Ma'am.
[10:01] Kiri
Better play dead.
[10:02] MaidA
Miss Makie is waiting.
[10:04] MaidA
I will show you to the dining hall.
[10:10] Kiri
Hey, take me with you.
[10:13] Kiri
I can't let people see me walking around.
[10:17] Makie
Huh?
[10:19] Makie
Why do you have him with you?
[10:21] Makie
Do you like him?
[10:22] H
No, that's not...
[10:24] H
necessarily wrong.
[10:27] Makie
Oh, I know.
[10:31] Makie
Let's all eat together.
[10:34] Makie
It's kind of fun
[10:37] Makie
to eat with other people.
[10:40] H
Are there no other humans here?
[10:42] Makie
No one except the maid.
[10:45] Makie
I don't know who my mom is,
[10:47] Makie
and my dad died.
[10:49] Makie
So I always eat alone.
[10:53] Makie
Okay, let's eat.
[10:54] Makie
I had them make lots, so eat all you like.
[11:07] H
What are those?
[11:09] Makie
My medicine.
[11:10] Makie
It'd be really bad if I forget to
take any, so I lay them all out.
[11:16] (Flashback) MaidA
Miss, it's time for your checkup.
[11:19] (Flashback) Makie
Okay, be right there.
[11:23] Makie
Hey, Haruharu?
[11:25] Makie
Do you hate carrots?
[11:27] H
Uh, no...
[11:28] Makie
That's not good.
[11:29] Makie
You won't grow big if you
don't eat your carrots. Right?
[11:34] Makie
Here, Yotarou.
[11:35] Kiri
So, this one's named Yotarou.
[11:39] Makie
Huh?
[11:39] Kiri
Ah...
[11:41] H
Kirishima... stuffed animals don't eat carrots.
[11:45] Kiri
I am well aware of that.
[11:48] Kiri
Damn...
[11:49] Kiri
I didn't expect to get exposed so soon.
[11:51] Kiri
We have no choice now!
[11:54] Kiri
Forgive us, Makie!
[11:56] Makie
Wow!
[11:58] Makie
Wow!
[11:59] Makie
Wow, wow, wow!
[12:01] Makie
Hey, did you make this, Haruharu?
[12:03] H
Um... Well, sort of.
[12:05] Makie
Wow, when'd you do that?
[12:08] Makie
Are you a robot expert, Haruharu?
[12:10] Makie
Are you involved in secret jobs, like me?
[12:13] H
Huh? Oh... yeah.
[12:16] Makie
I knew it!
[12:17] Makie
I thought you were weird.
[12:20] Makie
I get it now. You're the same as me.
[12:23] H
"Same."
[12:24] Makie
Still, wow.
[12:26] Makie
I was surprised!
[12:28] H
I'll give him to you.
[12:29] Makie
Huh?
[12:30] H
To thank you for helping me out.
[12:32] Makie
Really?!
[12:33] H
Yes.
[12:34] Kiri
Um... hello? Haruna-san?
[12:37] Makie
Thanks!
[12:38] Makie
Yotarou, you're lucky!
[12:41] Makie
Now that you can walk on your own
two legs, you're finally free!
[12:44] H
Congratulations, "Yotarou."
[12:47] Kiri
Shut up, "Haruharu"!
[12:53] Makie
Here, look this way.
[12:54] H
Please spare me...
[13:03] Makie
In Japan, friends wash each other's backs.
[13:08] H
"Friend"...
[13:10] H
A person with whom one interacts closely,
[13:12] H
someone of importance.

Entry tagged. Categorized. Recorded.
[13:22] Makie
Splash!
[13:24] Makie
A white whale has surfaced!
[13:27] Makie
He's going to dive again!
[13:31] H
Makie, you're free.
[13:33] Makie
Really?
[13:34] Makie
I haven't really thought
about that sort of thing.
[13:53] Makie
Good night, Yotarou.
[13:55] Makie
Good night, Haruharu.
[13:57] H
Good night, Makie.
[14:00] Makie
Haruharu!
[14:05] Makie
You're nice and warm, Haruharu.
[14:20] Kiri
Haruna, we should give a
status update to Kongou.
[14:24] Kiri
I also found something interesting,
[14:27] Kiri
so I want to report that to her.
[14:36] Kongou
Have you developed a liking
for that appearance?
[14:38] Kiri
I-It's only temporary!
[14:42] Kiri
More importantly, we must apologize.
[14:45] Kiri
We did not think we would be defeated.
[14:47] Kongou
I had been monitoring both of you.
[14:49] Kongou
I am glad you survived,
even if only as a core.
[14:54] Kongou
First, the two of you should
head to Sagami Bay.
[14:57] Kongou
I have Maya on standby
off the shore of Kamakura.
[15:00] Kiri
Wait, Kongou.
[15:01] Kiri
I've found something interesting.
[15:05] Kiri
I'll upload the information
to our shared network.
[15:09] Kongou
The vibration warhead...
[15:11] Kongou
That new torpedo the humans developed?
[15:15] Kiri
Indeed.
[15:16] Kiri
We are now in the residence of the project's
lead developer, Osakabe Toujuurou.
[15:22] Kiri
Osakabe is deceased,
[15:24] Kiri
but it may be possible for us to
retrieve some data on the new torpedo.
[15:28] Kiri
I don't want to call it a way
for us to save face, but...
[15:30] Kongou
Fine.
[15:32] Kongou
Handle it.
[15:33] Kongou
I'll order Maya to continue standing by.
[15:35] ---
Then we'll begin the operation.
[15:39] Kiri
Let's go, Haruna.
[15:44] Kongou
Humans change their own disposition
in response to emotions.
[15:48] Kongou
But, we are the Fog.
[15:50] Kongou
We are merely acting
out a temporary persona.
[16:08] Takao
There it is!
[16:09] Takao
Iwoto!
[16:10] Takao
I got here ahead of him,
just as I'd planned!
[16:15] Takao
Huh?
[16:19] Takao
No way!
[16:20] Takao
What the hell?!
[16:22] Takao
This attack algorithm... isn't human.
[16:26] Takao
This is...
[16:27] Takao
It can't be!
[16:35] Kiri
There appears to be something
[16:36] Kiri
in the basement that consumes
a great deal of energy.
[16:41] Kiri
That must be where it is.
[16:42] Kiri
Let's go retrieve the data.
[16:50] Kiri
What?
[16:51] MaidA
I was waiting for you.
[16:53] MaidA
This way, please.
[17:04] MaidA
Please step inside.
[17:06] Kiri
H-Hey!
[17:17] Kiri
What is this place?
[17:30] Tou
Thank you for coming.
[17:33] H
You are...
[17:35] Tou
Osakabe Toujuurou,
[17:38] Tou
the master of this house.
[17:41] Kiri
Aren't you supposed to be dead?
[17:43] Kiri
That's what human records say.
[17:46] Kiri
Well, it suits us better if you're alive.
[17:49] Kiri
Why don't you hand over the files on
the vibration warhead's development?
[17:52] Tou
The vibration warhead?
[17:54] Tou
Unfortunately,
[17:56] Tou
I'm not the one who created that weapon.
[18:00] Kiri
What do you mean?
[18:02] H
So, it was Makie...
[18:04] Tou
You noticed?
[18:06] Tou
You're right.
[18:08] Tou
Makie's abilities far surpass my own.
[18:12] Tou
Because...
[18:15] Tou
she is not human.
[18:24] Tou
In the past,
[18:26] Tou
I was developing weapons that
could be used against the Fog.
[18:31] Tou
However, it was a series of
setbacks and failures.
[18:35] Tou
I came to realize my
limitations as a human being.
[18:42] Tou
So I began a certain project.
[18:47] Tou
The assumption was that,
should one be unable
[18:50] Tou
to achieve a necessary goal,
[18:51] Tou
one must merely create a
human with supernatural ability.
[18:57] Tou
The Design Child Initiative
created 109 lives.
[19:07] Tou
Of them, seven were viable.
[19:10] Tou
And of them, only one survived
longer than three years.
[19:17] H
And that was Makie.
[19:21] Tou
As a result, Makie far exceeded our
expectations with her achievements.
[19:27] Tou
However, the government was indifferent.
[19:30] Tou
In reality, they were afraid of her abilities...
[19:34] Tou
just as they feared the Fog.
[19:37] Tou
We were herded into this mansion
[19:41] Tou
where we were to live under
government oversight.
[19:45] Tou
You told her she was free,
[19:50] Tou
but she is not allowed to
make any outside contact
[19:52] Tou
and she cannot lead a normal
life for a child of her age.
[19:59] Tou
Still, we were happy.
[20:06] Tou
I just wanted to see her smile.
[20:10] Tou
I came to love her as my own daughter.
[20:15] Tou
However,
[20:17] Tou
one day, the government
gave me an order.
[20:21] Tou
They told me to create a Design Child
who'll serve as Makie's backup.
[20:26] Tou
They had decided to discard
her as casually as they
[20:29] ---
might an outdated computer.
[20:35] Tou
I faked my death in an accident
[20:38] Tou
and vanished from sight, along
with the data on Design Children,
[20:42] Tou
so that she would remain unique.
[20:47] Tou
They still need her talents in order
to fine tune the vibration warhead.
[20:51] Tou
That is why she is protected.
[20:55] Kiri
I don't understand.
[20:57] Kiri
Why did you choose to live?
[21:00] Kiri
Wouldn't it make things worse if they
ever found out about your ruse?
[21:03] Tou
That is because of lingering attachment.
[21:07] H
"Lingering attachment."
[21:08] H
A phrase indicating regret,
inability to let go.
[21:11] H
Entry tagged. Categorized. Recorded.
[21:15] Tou
I wanted to watch over her
through the years... her smile.
[21:20] Kiri
Humans are very selfish, aren't they?
[21:24] Tou
Yes, indeed.
[21:27] Tou
As you can see, I don't have long to live.
[21:30] Tou
So, I'd like to ask a favor.
[21:34] H
What is the favor?
[21:37] Tou
Please become... friends with Makie.
[21:41] Kiri
You really are selfish.
[21:43] Kiri
Asking us to become her friends...
[21:45] H
You're aware that I am a
mental model of the Fog?
[21:48] Tou
She laughs so much when
she is with you two.
[21:53] Tou
That is enough.
[21:56] Tou
Please.
[22:01] Makie
Haruharu...
[22:10] H
Makie...
[22:11] H
A friend...
[22:28] Tou
As I'd feared...
[22:30] Tou
Now that she has made contact
with a mental model,
[22:33] ---
they will no longer let her be...

[00:11] Tou
Makie...
[00:14] Tou
You were created as a puppet.
[00:17] Tou
And yet, I came to care for you.
[00:22] Tou
And now, you are attempting
to form a bond with those
[00:27] Tou
who are not human,
the enemies of humanity.
[00:33] Tou
How ironic.
[00:37] Tou
Although, I don't know why,
[00:41] Tou
I have a feeling this bond
[00:45] Tou
that you are trying to form
with them will change the world
[00:54] Tou
more than the most powerful weapon.
[00:59] Tou
Goodbye, Makie.
[01:04] Tou
My precious daughter...
SIGN Arpeggio of Blue Steel
SIGN Friend
[03:11] H
A friend...
[03:19] H
We're surrounded.
[03:21] Kiri
I detect heat.
[03:23] Kiri
Are they after you and me?
[03:24] H
No.
[03:26] (Flashback) Tou
They had decided to discard
her as casually as they
[03:29] (Flashback) Tou
might an outdated computer.
[03:33] H
Their target...
[03:35] H
is Makie.
[03:43] Kamikage
It's me.
[03:44] SpecOps
We have cut off all power
to the Osakabe residence.
[03:47] SpecOps
We are about to move in.
[03:50] Kamikage
Understood.
[03:51] Kamikage
We don't know what combat power
mental models possess on their own.
[03:55] Kamikage
Exercise due caution.
[03:57] SpecOps
Roger.
[03:58] Kamikage
This operation is singularly
focused on Osakabe Makie.
[04:02] Kamikage
Keep that in mind.
[04:06] Kamikage
We must prevent the
Fog from obtaining intel
[04:09] Kamikage
on vibration warhead
manufacture, at all costs.
[04:14] Kiri
I see.
[04:16] Kiri
So they're trying to do away with
the girl before we get the intel.
[04:21] H
It's very likely, given that they did
not launch an assault from the outside
[04:24] H
and instead chose to
infiltrate this building.
[04:26] H
They intend to take out
Makie without fail.
[04:29] Kiri
They're coming straight for us.
[04:31] H
The location of this
room seems to be known.
[04:34] H
We don't have much time.
[04:36] H
Kirishima, can I leave Makie
in your care for a while?
[04:41] Kiri
Haruna, are you...
[04:43] H
I'll be right back.
[04:46] Trooper
We have arrived on the second floor.
[04:48] CO
All right, surround the room.
[04:50] CO
Secure Osakabe Makie, ASAP.
[04:57] Trooper
Stay calm.
[04:59] CO
You must be the mental model of
the fast battleship, Haruna.
[05:02] H
That's correct.
[05:04] CO
Surrender without resistance.
[05:05] CO
We will guarantee your safety.
[05:07] H
"Surrender without resistance"?
[05:11] CO
That's right.
[05:12] CO
Our only goal is to dispose
of Osakabe Makie.
[05:17] CO
Calm down!
[05:18] CO
It's not our intent to
engage you in combat!
[05:22] H
Intent?
[05:23] H
Allow me to teach you
what "intent" means.
[05:32] H
This is my intent.
[05:35] CO
We have no choice! Fire!
[05:46] CO
What the?!
[05:47] H
I am unhappy tonight.
[05:51] H
Very unhappy.
[05:54] Makie
No, Haruharu!
[06:03] H
Makie...
[06:04] CO
Osakabe Makie!
[06:09] Kiri
Sorry, Haruna.
[06:11] Kiri
I only took my eyes off her
for a second and she...
[06:15] Makie
Haruharu.
[06:16] H
Hear me out, Makie.
[06:18] H
I'm...
[06:20] Makie
...a mental model of the Fog.
[06:26] Makie
So it's true.
[06:29] H
I'm sorry.
[06:31] H
I didn't intend to deceive you.
[06:42] H
Makie...
[06:51] Kiri
Hah, look at her.
[06:54] Kiri
When she learns Haruna is of
the Fog, she reacts like this.
[06:57] Kiri
Well, I guess it's only natural.
[06:59] Kiri
Humans and the Fog can
never become friends.
[07:03] H
Kirishima.
[07:05] Kiri
Haruna?
[07:06] H
I have a favor to ask.
[07:08] H
Can you protect Makie?
[07:11] Kiri
Huh?!
[07:12] H
I'll distract the enemy.
[07:14] H
Use that chance to escape
this mansion with Makie.
[07:18] Kiri
Are you...
[07:20] H
We cannot put Makie in danger.
[07:24] Kiri
Well, I suppose.
[07:26] Kiri
We must learn how the new warhead
is manufactured from her.
[07:30] H
Yes.
[07:31] Kiri
All right, leave it to me.
[07:33] H
Thank you.
[07:41] H
I guess this is the best I can do with
the nanomaterials at my disposal.
[07:57] Trooper
Osakabe Makie!
[07:59] Chopper
Shrike Two, we have
visual on the target!
[08:01] Chopper
Initiating attack!
[08:14] Kongou
So the developer of the new warhead
[08:17] Kongou
was not Osakabe Toujuurou,
[08:19] Kongou
but Osakabe Makie, the last Design Child.
[08:24] Kongou
Humanity fears the prospect
of the warhead's
[08:26] ---
manufacturing methods
becoming known to us,
[08:28] Kongou
so they have decided to
eliminate Osakabe Makie.
[08:31] Maya
Man, that's so cruel.
[08:35] Kongou
It appears that the new warhead is
quite the trump card for humanity.
[08:43] Kongou
In any case, what is Haruna thinking?
[08:46] Kongou
Why didn't she report directly to me?
[08:50] CO
The mental model has fled to the
back courtyard with Osakabe Makie.
[08:54] CO
We're going after them.
[08:55] Trooper
Yes, sir!
[09:11] Kiri
Man, why am* I *tasked with babysitting?
[09:22] H
They don't let up.
[09:31] H
I'll crush you.
[09:32] (Flashback) H
No, Haruharu!
[09:41] H
We were born as weapons.
[09:44] H
Those who have lost their
lives to my cannon fire
[09:47] H
probably number in the hundreds.
[09:50] H
Until now, their deaths
meant nothing to me.
[09:56] H
So, I can't become your
friend after all, Makie.
[10:02] Kiri
Haruna.
[10:05] Kiri
Haruna! Hey, can't you hear me?
[10:07] Kiri
Haruna!
[10:09] H
What is it?
[10:10] Kiri
What's the matter?
[10:11] Kiri
Is something wrong with your comm link?
[10:13] H
It's fine.
[10:15] H
More importantly, how is Makie doing?
[10:17] H
Is she all right?
[10:18] Kiri
Yeah.
[10:19] Kiri
But she hasn't said a single word.
[10:24] Kiri
It looks like finding out you were
with the Fog was a huge shock.
[10:30] H
I... see.
[10:33] Kiri
We're currently near
the front entrance.
[10:34] Kiri
What should we do?
[10:36] H
I'll use the decoy to concentrate
the enemy in the back courtyard.
[10:40] H
Use that opportunity to get Makie
out of here via the front gates.
[10:43] Kiri
Hey, this is just a suggestion,
[10:45] Kiri
but why don't we ask Maya for backup
since she's offshore Kamakura?
[10:48] Kiri
Her firepower would be more than
enough to take out these guys.
[10:51] H
No, we can't.
[10:53] Kiri
Why?
[10:53] H
Maya's firepower would be enough to
obliterate the entire unit in an instant.
[10:57] Kiri
Why is that a problem?
[10:59] H
Makie does not wish it...
[11:02] Kiri
Hey, Haruna! Hey!
[11:05] Kiri
She cut me off!
[11:08] Kiri
In any case, why hasn't
this girl budged at all?
[11:13] Makie
Yotarou.
[11:15] Makie
Do you think... Haruharu got away okay?
[11:19] Kiri
Huh?
[11:20] Makie
Those scary people are
probably here to get rid of me.
[11:27] Makie
So as long as she stays away from
me, Haruharu should be safe.
[11:32] Makie
This is all I can do for Haruharu...
[11:37] Kiri
This girl...
[11:39] Makie
Yotarou, a long time ago...
I made a bomb.
[11:46] Makie
I didn't even know what it was.
[11:50] Makie
But I knew that if I did it,
Dad would be happy.
[11:55] Makie
Dad would praise me.
[11:57] Makie
So I worked really hard to design the
[12:02] ---
vibration warhead.
[12:05] Makie
But when it was finished,
I was left all alone...
[12:12] Makie
And... And you know,
[12:15] Makie
that bomb was made to kill the Fog...
to kill Haruharu and her friends.
[12:24] Makie
That's why...
[12:28] Makie
I never deserved to become friends
with Haruharu in the first place.
[12:43] OpA
All autonomous multi-ped
combat vehicles,
[12:46] ---
the Rock Crabs, have been deployed.
[12:49] OopB
Who knew we'd need to send these
in to neutralize a single child.
[12:54] OpA
Monster...
[12:55] OpB
Target the mental model
and Osakabe Makie!
[12:59] OpB
Fire!
[13:04] H
Not good. My processing
speed's decreased.
[13:06] H
I can't maintain the decoy.
[13:09] OpA
That's not Osakabe Makie!
[13:16] OpB
All units, retreat!
[13:18] OpA
Urgent directive to all units!
[13:19] OpA
Locate the real Osakabe Makie!

The mental model in the

[13:43] E
in fact, have Osakabe Makie with her.

What's going on?
[13:46] E
It was a sophisticated decoy.

And yet, why can I not kill them?

You'll get used to it.
[13:30] G
You're just taking things too seriously.
[13:32] I
Serious?
[13:34] G
It means you worry too much.
[13:36] I
Worry too much...
[13:46] G
We still need to make a lot of repairs.
[13:49] G
We couldn't in Yokosuka, right?
[13:52] I
Yeah...
[13:53] G
Iona, are you all right?
[13:55] I
I'm okay.
[13:56] I
Hyuuga does a good job.
[13:59] G
Once the repairs are complete,
[14:00] G
we will abandon this base.
[14:01] G
We have a tough journey ahead.
[14:04] I
I know.

How could I become a flagship?

No, I can't think of anyone else.

From now on, I will be aboard your ship.

[15:02] Takao
To think a submarine has
the captain on board...
[15:05] Hyu
You're right.
[15:06] Hyu
Sister Iona doesn't need a human like him.
[15:09] Takao
Why is 401 working alongside humans, anyway?
[15:14] Hyu
I-401 is... special.
[15:18] Takao
Huh?
[15:19] Hyu
You could say she is a
mutation among the Fog.
[15:23] Hyu
Whether that mutation is a cancer
or a path toward further evolution
[15:27] Hyu
remains to be seen.
[15:30] Takao
Evolution...
[15:31] Hyu
I'm not interested in what
will happen to humans.

Where did we come from?
[15:38] Hyu
Where are we going?
[15:40] Hyu
What are we?
[15:42] Hyu
That's what I want to know.
[15:45] Hyu
Sister Iona's contact with Chihaya Gunzou
[15:49] ---
had a drastic effect on the war...
on the entire world.

[16:42] I
Gunzou said to take a break.
[16:44] Takao
Y-You address him so casually?!
[16:46] Takao
D-Do all captains think of their

Nothing!

[17:00] Takao
What?
[17:01] I
From this point on,
[17:03] I
you are no longer under
Hyuuga's oversight.
[17:06] Takao
What? Is that okay?
[17:07] I
Gunzou's orders.
[17:09] Takao
The captain's? For my sake?
[17:12] I
Why do you think that?
[17:13] Takao
Am I wrong?!
[17:14] I
I don't know if it was for your sake.
[17:17] I
But, now you can return
to the Fleet of Fog.
[17:21] Takao
Why would he allow enemies
to rejoin their fleet?
[17:24] Takao
I may attack you again.
[17:28] I
That's just the way Gunzou thinks.
[17:32] Takao
You talk like you understand
everything about him.
[17:34] I
I am Gunzou's ship.
[17:36] Takao
Where's your pride as one of the Fog?!
[17:40] I
"Meet Gunzou and obey."
[17:42] I
That is the only order that
remains in my memory.
[17:47] Takao
Order...
[17:48] Takao
I... I see.
[17:50] Takao
So you're just with the
captain because of orders.
[17:55] Takao
Oh, well.
[17:56] Takao
Then you don't have any
feelings for the captain, right?
[18:01] I
For Gunzou?
[18:02] Takao
Right.
[18:03] I
Gunzou...
[18:05] I
Gunzou is my...
[18:08] Takao
Is your what?
[18:12] I
I don't know.
[18:16] G
All right.
[18:17] G
As soon as the repairs are complete,
we will abandon this island.
[18:20] Sou
I am sure the enemy
now knows of this place
[18:23] Sou
because we brought
Haruna and Kirishima.
[18:26] G
Right, even if that was
not their intention.
[18:29] G
Our stockpile of nanomaterials
has dwindled, as well.
[18:32] G
We had to abandon this base, anyway.
[18:34] Kyo
So from now on, we can't
resupply corrosive torpedoes.
[18:37] G
We will deliver the vibration warhead to America.
[18:41] Shizuka
Is that all right with you?
[18:43] Shizuka
I thought you didn't desire combat, Captain.
[18:46] G
Once this warhead is mass-produced,
[18:48] G
humanity will obtain equal
footing with the Fog.
[18:51] G
Humanity will be able to
negotiate with them as equals.
[18:53] Kyo
All right!
[18:54] Kyo
Then there's no room for doubt!
[18:56] G
Like Iona and the others,
the Fog are sentient.
[19:01] G
I believe there is a way to coexist.
[19:05] G
If humanity does not change,
it will falter and perish.
[19:09] G
We are now wanted fugitives in
the eyes of the government.

Even so, we must carry out this task

[20:53] Kongou
Yes.

There is no question.

Then what are these emotions?
[21:00] Kongou
They are simulations designed to

[07:44] Hyu
That's exactly why I chose to say it.

So that's the appearance you like.

This look was formulated in accordance with the

to form a mental model?
[08:58] Hyu
Oh? Didn't I tell you before?
[09:01] Kongou
I don't recall that.
[09:02] Hyu
Oh, I see.
[09:04] Hyu
I haven't told you.
[09:06] Hyu
You know how I got all whammed and
slammed by Sister Iona and sank, right?

[09:15] Hyu
At that moment, I thought,
[09:17] Hyu
"Oh, I'm so alive!"
[09:20] Kongou

[09:22] Hyu
Here you go.
[09:24] Hyu
Enjoy.
[09:31] Kongou
It's hot.
[09:33] Kongou
Physical bodies are interesting.
[09:38] Kongou
Chihaya Gunzou, tell me why
you invited me on this island.
[09:42] G
I wanted to speak with you.
[09:47] G
But, you may not believe me.
[09:51] Kongou
Do you really mean that?
[09:54] I
Gunzou always means what he says.
[09:57] I
Humans value face-to-face communication.
[10:02] Kongou
Meaningless sentimentalism.
[10:04] Takao
But, there are things that
can't be communicated
[10:06] ---
unless we meet in this manner.
[10:08] Kongou
Chihaya Gunzou and 401,
[10:11] Kongou
there is only one thing
I wish to communicate.
[10:15] Kongou
I have determined that I
will eradicate all of you.
[10:19] Kongou
I only responded to the invitation
so that I could tell you directly.
[10:26] G
Even so, I still wish to speak with you.
[10:31] Kongou
Why?
[10:33] G
We are the ones placed at a
disadvantage by this meeting,
[10:36] G
whereas you have nothing to lose by it.
[10:43] Kongou
That is an interesting perspective.
[10:46] G
We have been entrusted with a certain
weapon by the Japanese government.
[10:50] G
It is a weapon based on scientific
principles unlike any other,
[10:54] G
capable of defeating even the Fog.
[10:56] Kongou
I am aware of it.
[10:58] Kongou
The vibration warhead, correct?
[11:00] Kongou
It triggers resonance in the target
[11:02] ---
at its natural frequency,
resulting in its destruction.
[11:05] Hyu
The underlying principle is simple,
and that makes it all the more effective.
[11:09] Hyu
It will be potent enough
against the current Fog.
[11:12] Kongou
Yes.
[11:13] Kongou
But that is only if it can
penetrate the Klein Field.
[11:18] G
We can discuss these
issues at another time.
[11:20] G
At any rate, we have been requested
[11:23] ---
to deliver the warhead to the United States
[11:25] G
so that it can be mass produced
and used against the Fog.
[11:29] Kongou
And you think I'll just let that happen?
[11:33] G
Of course not.
[11:35] G
Either way,
[11:36] G
you can destroy humanity
simply by forcing us
[11:40] ---
to remain on this island.
[11:43] G
All contact between humans
separated by oceans is shut down.
[11:48] G
We grow weaker by the moment.
[11:50] Kongou
Precisely.
[11:51] G
That is why I wanted to speak with you...
[11:55] G
or should I say, all of you.
[12:04] G
If humanity is on the brink of extinction,
[12:08] G
I'd like to know why...
[12:11] G
Why it is necessary for us to be wiped from
[12:15] ---
the face of this planet.
[12:25] G
If humanity is on the brink of extinction,
[12:30] G
I'd like to know why...
[12:32] G
Why it is necessary for us to be wiped from
[12:37] ---
the face of this planet.
[12:39] Takao
All of our actions are dictated
by the Admirality Code.
[12:44] G
I have heard of that name from Iona.
[12:46] G
But I don't have a clear
sense of what that is.
[12:51] Hyu
If I were to translate it into a
concept humans can understand,
[12:56] Hyu
the Admirality Code is our highest directive,
[12:58] Hyu
defining our reason for existence and
basic principles governing our behavior.
[13:02] Hyu
No, perhaps it's more like a dogma...
[13:05] Hyu
It's basically like the rules of a game.
[13:08] Takao
From the moment we awakened,
[13:10] Takao
we were already aware that we
had to obey the Admirality Code.
[13:15] Takao
Why? Because that is our
reason for existence.
[13:19] Takao
Broader interpretation is not to be
allowed under any circumstance.
[13:23] Kongou
And yet, you all defied it.
[13:28] Kongou
The Admirality Code's directive is clear.
[13:31] Kongou
Blockade all the seas on this planet,
[13:33] Kongou
and halt all maritime commerce.
[13:35] Kongou
Why, then, do you defy our directive?
[13:40] Kongou
Or, rather... how were you able to defy it?
[13:45] Kongou
Chihaya Gunzou, it all
began with you and 401.
[13:49] Kongou
It is my turn to pose a question.
[13:51] Kongou
Do you understand this?
[13:55] Kongou
The Fog is changing as a
result of contact with you.
[13:59] Kongou
Why is that?
[14:10] Iori
Almost show time for us?
[14:17] G
I'm hungry.
[14:18] Kongou
What?
[14:20] G
I still don't really know
what your energy source is,
[14:24] G
but if it is not too much trouble,
[14:26] G
would you mind joining me for a meal?
[14:29] Kongou
A meal?
[14:35] Hyu
Listen up.
[14:36] Hyu
Eat using this pattern:
meat-meat-veggie, meat-veggie.
[14:40] Various
OK!
[14:40] Various
Understood.
[14:40] Various
Got it.
[15:00] Takao
What was that for?
[15:01] Hyu
That meat is being cultivated for Sister Iona.
[15:04] Hyu
Hands off!
SIGN Fast Battleship Hyuuga VS Heavy Cruiser Takao
[15:09] Maya
Hey, Hyuuga.
[15:11] Maya
What are you grilling?
[15:13] Hyu
Cow meat!
[15:14] Maya
Oh, so the corpse of an animal.
[15:18] Makie
It tastes different from what
I used to eat in Yokosuka.
[15:21] Hyu
Oh, yeah?
[15:22] Hyu
Maybe synthesized ones don't really cut it.
[15:36] Kiri
The w-water's making me heavy...
[15:38] Kiri
This is bad... bad!
[15:44] Makie
Captain Chihaya,
[15:45] Makie
are Kyohei, Sou, and the others
not going to eat anything?
[15:47] G
No, they are on standby
on 401, just in case.
[16:05] Kyo
Man...
[16:06] Kyo
Our captain's a bit too honest.
[16:10] Sou
Still, there is no point in
hiding anything from the Fog
[16:13] ---
under these circumstances.
[16:15] Kyo
Shooting the breeze to punch a hole
through the Fog's logic barriers?
[16:20] Kyo
Is that really possible?
[16:23] Kyo
She must be getting impatient by now.
[16:32] H
Shazam.
[16:37] H
Shazam.
[16:38] Maya
Let me try, too!
[16:43] I
Was the food not to your liking?
[16:50] Kongou
It is only another form of playing human.
[16:53] Kongou
It's too bothersome.
[16:58] Kongou
Those others...
[17:00] Kongou
seem surprisingly capable of blending in.
[17:01] Kongou
Shazam.
[17:04] ---
Shazam.
[17:08] Kongou
Do you like how things are now?
[17:11] I
I might.
[17:14] I
Because it's fun.
[17:17] Kongou
Fun?
[17:20] Kongou
Fun...
[17:24] Kongou
401, what are you?
[17:28] I
I am a submarine of the Fog.
[17:30] Kongou
No, you are not.
[17:33] Kongou
I have always wondered
[17:36] Kongou
who it was that constructed this dimension.
[17:40] Kongou
It must have been you, 401.
[17:43] Kongou
You most likely formed a mental
model based on principles
[17:47] Kongou
that are different from ours.
[17:50] Kongou
Is your Admirality Code the same as ours?
[17:55] Kongou
No, do you even obey the mandates
of any Admirality Code at all?
[18:04] Kongou
All Fog vessels that come in contact
[18:06] ---
with you have undergone
change, without exception.
[18:09] Kongou
Why is that?
[18:10] I
Change?
[18:12] Kongou
Hyuuga,
[18:13] Kongou
Takao,
[18:14] Kongou
Kirishima,
[18:15] Kongou
and Haruna.
[18:17] Kongou
They all developed anomalies.
[18:20] Kongou
What is happening here?
[18:23] Kongou
This is not the Fog I know.
[18:25] Kongou
What has changed them?
[18:29] I
I do not know.
[18:32] Kongou
Why do you not know?
[18:33] Kongou
You caused all of this.
[18:36] I
I am just fulfilling my duty as Gunzou's ship.
[18:41] Kongou
For what purpose?
[18:42] I
That's...
[18:43] Kongou
Answer me, 401.
[18:47] I
I... want Gunzou to...
[18:54] Kongou
So you cannot answer?
[18:56] Kongou
Even though you are of the Fog?
[18:59] Kongou
It seems my intuition was correct.
[19:04] I
Kongou?
[19:06] Kongou
Chihaya Gunzou is the
one who caused all this.
[19:11] Kongou
That is why I have taken
preventive measures
[19:14] Kongou
to protect my core and Maya's from
possible contamination through contact
[19:19] Kongou
with you and Chihaya Gunzou.
[19:23] Kongou
It seems they have paid off.
[19:26] G
What do you mean, Kongou?
[19:29] Kongou
I knew the answer from the beginning.
[19:32] Kongou
Mimicking the human form
[19:34] Kongou
and attempting to
understand human behavior
[19:37] Kongou
has given rise to turmoil
[19:39] Kongou
and weakened the existence
of the Fog as weapons.
[19:42] I
That can't be right.
[19:43] I
If so, how is it possible that Gunzou
and I were able to deflect your attacks
[19:48] I
and continue to survive?
[19:51] Kongou
There were errors in our tactics.
[19:55] Kongou
However, those errors can be corrected.
[19:58] Kongou
And we will return to our rightful existence
[20:02] Kongou
as dictated by the Admirality Code.
[20:19] Kongou
Maya, let's go.
[20:20] Maya
What? Already?
[20:22] Kongou
Hurry up.
[20:24] ---
Aww.
[20:26] G
What's going on?
[20:28] I
They were decoys
constructed of nanomaterials.
[20:30] I
But is such an intensive task possible?
[20:32] Kongou
Of course it is.
[20:34] Kongou
Our cores' potential far surpasses
that of a mere submarine like you.
[20:48] Kongou
I will eradicate Chihaya Gunzou,
401, and all who follow you.
[20:56] G
I regret that we could not
reach an understanding.
[21:01] Kongou
Fire.
[21:20] Hyu
You don't really think you can
get past my defenses, do you?
[21:24] Kongou
No.
[21:26] Kongou
But how long will you last?
[21:30] Kongou
Back there,
[21:31] Kongou
I thought I understood
what 401 meant by "fun."
[21:38] Kongou
But that was a cunningly prepared trap.
[21:42] Maya
Trap?
[21:43] Kongou
Indeed.
[21:44] Kongou
The Fog are weapons.
[21:45] Kongou
Weapons should not feel emotions like "fun."
[22:03] Hyu
Crap...
[22:04] Hyu
I can't repair the data in time!
[22:11] Hyu
You guys!
[22:13] H
It is more effective to work together.
[22:17] Takao
What are you going to do,
Chihaya Gunzou?
[22:21] Takao
I... I might possibly agree to cooperate.
[22:27] G
Thank you.
[22:29] G
We will...
[22:31] G
get past Kongou and
go to the United States!

[00:14] Kongou
We must correct the errors,
[00:18] Kongou
and return to our rightful way of existence.
[00:23] Kongou
Hyuuga, Takao, Kirishima...
[00:26] Kongou
and even Haruna, exhibit abnormal behavior.
[00:29] Kongou
It appears to me that their contact
with that man is the cause.
[00:34] Kongou
In which case, I need only
eliminate Chihaya Gunzou.
[00:40] G
Is it really impossible to attain
a world in which we coexist
[00:44] G
with Kongou and the Fog?
[00:46] I
I think there are Mental Models who
can understand and those who can't,
[00:52] I
just like humans.
[00:54] I
But, if we could discuss it with them more,
[00:56] I
then maybe...
[00:57] Hyu
Chihaya Gunzou!
[00:59] Hyu
Take Sister Iona and get out of here, now!
[01:02] G
I'm sorry.
[01:02] G
I'm counting on you, Hyuuga.
[01:04] Hyu
I'm not doing this for you.
[01:06] Hyu
It's for Sister Iona.
[01:07] I
Thank you, Hyuuga.
[01:09] Hyu
Ah, Sister Iona!
[01:11] Hyu
Please don't look at me
with such lovely eyes!
[01:14] Hyu
Such lovely eyes!
[01:15] Hyu
Please rest assured that I will
come after you right away!
[01:18] Hyu
Well? Go on, all of you.
[01:21] Hyu
I can handle things here on my own.
[01:23] Kiri
It's too dangerous!
[01:24] Hyu
Idiot, who do you think I am?
[01:28] Hyu
Hurry up!
[01:29] G
Let's go.
[01:39] Hyu
Jeez, Kirishima.
[01:42] Hyu
And Kongou, don't tell me you're
judging me by my current appearance.
[01:51] Hyu
Have a taste of a fast battleship
class's processing power.
SIGN Desperate Escape
[02:12] G
Our current objective has
changed to an escape operation.
[02:16] G
We will break through the Kongou fleet
[02:19] G
and head to the United States.
[02:20] G
Iwoto will be abandoned,
as per the original plan.
[02:23] I
Understood.
[02:23] Kiri
But the island must be surrounded.
[02:27] Kiri
Maya's here, too.
[02:28] Makie
A-Are we going to be okay, Haruharu?
[02:31] H
Don't worry.
[02:33] H
I will protect you.
[02:35] I
Hyuuga will open a path for us.
[02:37] I
Trust her.
[02:39] Hyu
I just felt Sister Iona's love!
[02:43] Hyu
Leave everything to me!
[02:48] G
Takao, what will you do?
[02:51] Takao
Um...
[02:55] Takao
Well, I do owe you all for
giving me food and shelter.
[03:01] Takao
I guess I don't have a choice.
[03:03] Takao
I'll help you out.
[03:06] Takao
But...
[03:07] Takao
I'll decide when I leave.
[03:11] G
Fine by me.
[03:13] G
Welcome to the Blue Steel.
[03:24] G
Thank you.
[03:30] G
To get right to the point, Takao...
[03:31] Takao
Wh-What?
[03:33] G
I have a favor to ask.
[03:34] Takao
Favor?
[03:36] Takao
Not... an order?
[03:38] G
Right, a favor.
[03:40] G
And it's something I can only ask of you.
[03:45] Takao
Fine, I'll hear what you have to say.
[03:52] Hyu
Drinking tea now, of all times?
[03:54] Hyu
How exquisite.
[03:56] Hyu
Did you learn nothing from humans
[03:58] Hyu
but how to flaunt your own self-assurance?
[04:02] Kongou
I don't intend to engage in meaningless talk.
[04:05] Kongou
Withdraw your support of 401.
[04:07] Kongou
It is a waste of time for
the two of us to do battle.
[04:10] Hyu
As if I'd back down just because
you spout some hackneyed line.
[04:16] Hyu
That's the problem with you
head-of-the-class types.
[04:19] Kongou
Why do you side with 401?
[04:22] Kongou
Don't you want to make optimal use of
your abilities as a fast battleship?
[04:27] Hyu
I don't intend to engage in
meaningless talk, either.
[04:31] Hyu
I love Sister Iona, so I'll protect her.
[04:33] Hyu
That logic will always have top priority,
[04:36] ---
no matter what the rules
of conduct may be.
[04:38] Kongou
I fail to comprehend how
such an abstract concept
[04:42] Kongou
can become a behavioral principle.
[04:44] Hyu
That's not a failure to comprehend,
[04:46] ---
it's a cessation of thought.
[04:47] Hyu
It's because you're too rigid in your thinking
[04:49] Hyu
that everyone's leaving you.
[04:51] Hyu
It's no wonder they say
[04:53] ---
"Names and natures often
agree," don't you think?
[04:55] Kongou
Oh?
[04:57] Kongou
Are you trying to provoke me?
[05:00] Hyu
I suggest looking into a mirror sometime.
[05:03] Hyu
You look miserable right now.
[05:07] Hyu
You looked like you were having more fun
[05:09] ---
when you were playing on the beach.
[05:12] Kongou
"Fun"?
[05:13] Kongou
It is the most useless variable for the Fog.
[05:17] Kongou
The result, achieved through correct
means, is the totality of our existence.
[05:20] Kongou
The process is insignificant.
[05:24] Kongou
I had thought highly of your
processing ability, Hyuuga.
[05:29] Hyu
Intimidation tactics using
a supergravity cannon.
[05:32] Hyu
In the end, that is your only card to play.
[05:36] Hyu
As a weapon, I suppose it's a correct one.
[05:39] Kongou
"Correct"...
[05:41] Kongou
Indeed, I merely obey the Admirality
Code as the correct course of action.
[05:45] Hyu
Is that really true?
[05:47] Hyu
Aren't you just doing it
based on how you feel?
[05:51] Kongou
This has become a bother.
[05:53] Kongou
Get out of my sight.
[06:03] Hyu
You...
[06:11] Hyu
I'm not done yet!
[06:13] Hyu
Don't underestimate
[06:15] Hyu
a fast battleship...
[06:18] Hyu
or my love for Sister Iona!
[06:27] G
Hyuuga!
[06:30] I
She's okay.
[06:32] Hyu
Love is victorious!
[06:35] I
You haven't won yet.
[06:36] I
You just haven't lost.
[06:38] I
But... good job.
[06:40] Hyu
Ah! Such an honor to hear those words!
[06:42] Hyu
I am... I am overjoyed!
[06:45] Hyu
But, please hurry, Sister Iona.
[06:47] Hyu
Although I made her fire
her supergravity cannon,
[06:50] Hyu
degeneracy levels within Kongou
are rapidly increasing.
[06:53] Hyu
93 percent to critical degeneracy.
[06:56] G
What about the other ship?
[06:58] Kongou
Hyuuga's signature is still present.
[07:00] Kongou
Maya.
[07:01] Maya
Right on!
[07:02] Maya
Leave it to me!
[07:04] Maya
Zip, zoom!
[07:09] Hyu
Damn!
[07:11] Maya
Supergravity cannon, fire!
[07:18] Maya
What?!
[07:45] Takao
Right now, I am his ship.
[07:49] Takao
I am Blue Steel!
[07:52] Takao
I can't lose to the same class ship!
[07:54] Maya
I hate you, Takao!
[07:56] Maya
Sink!
[07:58] Takao
Love will never sink!
[08:08] Takao
Hey!
[08:08] Takao
I'm busy right now!
[08:10] Kongou
Why are you interfering
with our attack, Takao?
[08:16] Takao
No real reason.
[08:17] Takao
I'm just doing what I want.
[08:20] Kongou
Have both you and Hyuuga
[08:23] Kongou
forgotten what it means
to be of the Fog?
[08:25] Takao
There's a great human expression.
[08:28] Takao
"That's one thing. This is another."
[08:33] Kongou
You have lost sight of who you are
[08:36] Kongou
by coming in contact with humanity.
[08:39] Kongou
I must correct that.
[08:42] Takao
What?
[08:43] Takao
Don't make that decision on your own.
[08:45] Takao
I know myself the best.
[08:49] Takao
I've learned to love,
and it opened my eyes.
[08:53] Takao
That's how humans and
I, myself, evolve.
[08:57] G
Iona, what's the status
on the hull and engines?
[09:00] I
We're green across the board.
[09:01] I
Hyuuga did a full repair.
[09:04] G
All right, dead slow ahead.
[09:06] G
401, launch!
[09:27] Maya
It's a carnival!
[09:30] Takao
Shut up, you crazed party girl!
[09:37] Kongou
I have no choice but to
designate you as abnormal.
[09:40] Kongou
There is no need to evolve outside
the Admirality Code's parameters.
[09:44] Takao
Is that so absolute?
[09:47] Kongou
I have arrived at that
conclusion based on analyses of
[09:50] Kongou
the situation and available information.
[09:53] Kongou
Uncertain variables such as
emotion are unnecessary.
[09:56] Takao
You know, you think you're
always right, don't you?
[10:00] Takao
I don't care what weapons "should"
be like in order to be weapons.
[10:04] Takao
It has nothing to do with me anymore.
[10:08] Kongou
How can you speak so as one of the Fog?
[10:10] Kongou
Has contact with Chihaya
Gunzou changed you so much?
[10:15] Takao
Living as I wish for the person I love...
[10:18] Takao
Why can't you understand such a simple thing?
[10:21] Kongou
We are not human.
[10:23] Kongou
We should remain weapons without free will.
[10:26] Takao
There you go about what we "should" be.
That's what gets on my nerves.
[10:30] Takao
Well, we're never going to
find common ground now.
[10:34] Takao
I just hope you can come to understand
my perspective someday.
[10:38] Takao
It'll change the way you look at the world.
[10:43] Kongou
Every single one of them is breaking...
[10:47] Kongou
Maya.
[10:48] Maya
Yup, did you call?
[10:50] Kongou
Both Takao and Hyuuga
are clearly distractions.
[10:53] Kongou
Just leave them be.
[10:55] Kongou
More importantly, deal with the root
cause, 401 and Chihaya Gunzou.
[11:00] Maya
Kongou, you sound tired.
[11:02] Maya
Must be tough when no one will listen to you!
[11:05] Kongou
And what about you, Maya?
[11:07] Maya
Me?
[11:09] Maya
I just obey the Admirality
Code and Kongou!
[11:14] Kongou
Indeed.
[11:16] Kongou
That is how the Fog should be.
[11:20] Kongou
To the Fleet, expand search range.
[11:23] Kongou
Find 401.
[11:25] Kongou
Hyuuga's jamming is formidable.
[11:28] Kongou
Nagara class ships, fan out as necessary.
[11:31] Maya
Here I go!
[11:45] Takao
So far, it's going according to plan.
[11:47] Takao
The rest is up to you,
401 and Chihaya Gunzou.
[12:00] G
Iona, please confirm the route.
[12:03] I
We will use the route and
coordinates Hyuuga provided.
[12:06] I
After using the currents to
escape from the danger zone,
[12:09] I
we will head to the rendezvous
point to join Takao and the others.
[12:12] G
Getting there will be like
trying to thread a needle.
[12:15] G
Can we do this?
[12:16] I
It will be all right. Trust me.
[12:18] Kongou
Where are you, 401?
[12:20] Kongou
Don't think you can get away now.
[12:24] G
Takao bought us time so
that we could escape.
[12:28] G
We just have to hope that
Kongou's fleet will let us go.
[12:32] I
That's too much to ask.
[12:33] G
You're right.
[12:35] G
We'll try to break through in full burst mode.
[12:38] G
Make preparations.
[12:40] I
Understood.
[12:41] I
Full burst mode critical in T-minus 410 seconds.
[12:45] Kongou
We have her now.
[12:58] I
Kongou's headed our way.
[13:00] I
She's 18 seconds earlier
than in my simulation.
[13:02] I
That's Kongou for you.
[13:04] G
Is Takao safe after delaying Kongou?
[13:07] I
She's fine.
[13:08] I
I think Kongou realized our
intent midway and turned back.
[13:12] G
All right.
[13:13] G
I'll leave the dive depth to you.
[13:15] G
Flood tubes five and six.
[13:17] G
Launch active decoys!
[13:19] I
Launching decoys.
[13:27] G
What is Kongou's position?
[13:29] I
At six o'clock, distance 9600, speed 50 knots.
[13:35] G
Her speed is no surprise.
[13:37] I
At this rate, she'll catch up to us
[13:39] ---
right before we achieve burst mode.
[13:46] I
Thanatonium readings. 20 contacts.
[13:48] I
Torpedo will hit rearmost decoy in 5 seconds.
[13:51] I
Deploying Klein Field to prepare for impact.
[14:02] I
Full burst mode critical in T-minus 331 seconds.
[14:05] I
Allocating processing power
to shorten countdown
[14:08] I
will lower resources available for defense.
[14:10] G
All right.
[14:11] G
Maintain course.
[14:12] G
Kongou should be entering
our area of operations soon.
[14:26] G
Custom stealth mines made by
Hyuuga from corrosive torpedoes.
[14:30] G
That should buy us some time.
[14:33] Kongou
A trap... by Hyuuga?
[14:35] Kongou
Insolence.
[14:37] G
We are almost out of the
danger zone, but be careful.
[14:40] G
If we stray from the course,
[14:42] G
we will become the mines' next victim.
[14:45] G
What's the matter?
[14:46] I
Something's not right.
[14:47] I
Kongou's closing in.
[14:52] Kongou
Swift and decisive should
be the ideal of the warrior.
[14:55] Kongou
I think a human wrote
those words in a book.
[14:58] Kongou
Indeed, we of the Fog are weapons.
[15:01] Kongou
Nothing more, nothing less.
[15:04] G
The mines aren't slowing her down.
[15:11] I
Kongou...
[15:13] I
Aren't you hurting yourself,
being so reckless?
[15:15] Kongou
To us, pain is an unnecessary concept.
[15:19] Kongou
I will pay any price in order
to carry out my orders.
[15:24] Kongou
More importantly, what do you want, 401?
[15:27] Kongou
Do you finally feel like repenting?
[15:30] I
I just wanted to talk to you some more.
[15:33] Kongou
I will sink you and kill Chihaya Gunzou.
[15:37] Kongou
I must restore the Fog to normalcy.
[15:41] Kongou
That is all.
[15:45] I
Thanatonium readings. 12 contacts.
[15:47] G
Launch passive decoys!
[16:02] I
Why?
[16:03] I
Humans and we, ourselves,
each have potential.
[16:07] Kongou
How many times must I tell you?
[16:08] Kongou
We are weapons who obey
the Admirality Code.
[16:12] I
Is that really all there is?
[16:15] I
In my travels with Gunzou,
[16:18] I
I gained awareness of my own existence...
[16:21] Kongou
Look how talkative you've become
when you used to be as lifeless as a doll.
[16:26] Kongou
Why do you not realize that it's abnormal?
[16:30] Kongou
You are broken.
[16:32] I
I am not broken...
[16:36] Kongou
As I'd thought, killing that man comes first.
[16:42] I
Please don't.
[16:44] I
I still need to spend more time with Gunzou.
[16:48] I
It's necessary in order to learn
what our existence means.
[16:54] I
Kongou, you must also be...
[16:56] Kongou
Searching for a raison d'etre
is a foolhardy endeavor.
[17:00] Kongou
It is a worthless and meaningless inquiry.
[17:03] I
There is meaning.
[17:06] I
We're weak when we're alone.
[17:14] I
When I was alone,
[17:15] I
I did not know what I should
be doing in this world.
[17:20] I
I'm sure you feel that way, too.
[17:22] Kongou
I am not weak.
[17:24] I
But, you are all alone right now.
[17:28] I
You remind me of my old self.
[17:30] Kongou
You're wrong.
[17:31] Kongou
I have the Admirality Code.
[17:34] Kongou
I have Maya, too.
[17:35] I
Isn't that just what you tell yourself?
[17:40] I
Don't you feel anything else now
that you have a Mental Model?
[17:43] Kongou
Silence.
[17:44] I
I still think we are alike.
[17:47] I
The more we talk, the more I—
[17:49] Kongou
Silence!
[17:51] Kongou
I don't need any senseless collusions.
[17:53] Kongou
How many times must I tell you?
[17:55] Kongou
Are you trying to buy time again?
[17:57] I
That's not true, Kongou.
[17:59] I
I just want you and I to...
[18:03] Kongou
It may very well be that
I am feeling emotions
[18:07] Kongou
that are irrelevant to the Admirality Code.
[18:11] Kongou
But remember this, if nothing else...
[18:15] Kongou
I hate you.
[18:34] G
Sh-She submerged?
[18:36] G
She's going to give chase underwater!
[18:38] I
Full burst mode critical in T-minus 52 seconds.
[18:44] I
Graviton readings aboard Kongou!
[18:47] G
Does she intend to fire the
supergravity cannon point-blank?
[18:50] I
Probably.
[18:51] G
So she'll ram right into us.
[18:54] G
Reallocate Klein Field operations
to reaching full burst mode!
[18:57] I
Understood.
[18:58] I
Reallocating all operations
not being used for thrust.
[19:03] I
T-minus 30 seconds to critical.
[19:06] I
29.
[19:07] I
28.
[19:09] I
27.
[19:12] Kongou
Fire.
[19:21] Kongou
What's going on?
[19:27] I
5...
[19:28] I
4...
[19:30] I
3...
[19:31] I
2...
[19:32] I
1.
[19:34] I
Full burst mode critical.
[19:36] G
Get us out of here at full speed!
[19:51] Kongou
Hyuuga...
[19:52] Kongou
You dare to hack me behind my back?
[19:56] Hyu
Phew. That was close.
[19:59] Hyu
Your normal self wouldn't have
fallen for such a simple tactic.
[20:04] Hyu
But maybe you're more human
than you'd like to think, huh?
[20:09] Hyu
Man, I'm pooped.
[20:12] Takao
You didn't sink me, either.
[20:15] Takao
This must be one of those
abnormalities you talked about.
[20:18] Takao
You made a clear error in judgment.
[20:20] Takao
Oh, and I guess I can tell you
[20:23] Takao
that the trump card of
humanity you were after...
[20:26] Takao
is actually aboard me.
[20:29] Takao
Hey, you two!
[20:30] Takao
Don't go around touching things!
[20:32] Takao
Hey, not that seat! That's his!
[20:36] Takao
A-Anyway, 401 was the decoy.
[20:40] Takao
But because someone let things affect her,
[20:43] Takao
she fired her supergravity cannon
the second time in a hurry.
[20:46] Takao
Even a fast battleship would have
reached her processing limit.
[20:52] Takao
Bye now.
[20:53] Takao
I have to go rendezvous with him.
[20:56] Takao
I hope he's not hurt.
[20:58] Hyu
Hey, Takao.
[21:00] Hyu
We can't let Sister Iona be alone
with him for too long!
[21:04] Hyu
Take me with you!
[21:05] Takao
Fine, fine.
[21:10] I
Kongou...
[21:25] Kongou
You are all wrong.
[21:29] Kongou
Wrong.
[22:46] G
Phew, we managed to shake her.
[22:49] G
We just need to rendezvous with
Takao and the others as planned,
[22:52] G
and go to the United Sta—
[22:54] G
Iona?!
[22:54] G
Are you all right?
[22:56] I
I'm okay.
[22:57] I
I'm just tired because of the system load.
[23:00] G
I see.
[23:02] I
I am your ship, Gunzou.
[23:18] G
What?!
[23:20] I
We've been hit by two corrosive torpedoes!
[23:25] I
Klein Field saturated!
[23:27] I
It's down!
[23:28] I
More corrosive torpedoes
coming in from 4 o'clock...
[23:31] I
and 12 o'clock.
[23:40] I
An ambush?
[23:49] 400
401 confirmed sunk.
[23:52] 400
Mission complete.
[23:58] 402
We of the Fog Fleet obey
the Admirality Code.

[00:49] G
Iona.
[00:54] G
Are you all right?
[00:58] I
Full burst mode...
[01:01] I
had lowered sonar sensitivity
and delayed my response.
[01:05] I
I'm sorry.
[01:06] G
First, confirm the extent of the
damage, and conduct repairs.
[01:10] G
Prioritize repair of
navigation-critical elements.
[01:13] I
Understood.
[01:18] I
Initiating autonomic repair program.
[01:20] I
Commencing regeneration of
damaged parts using nanomaterials.
[01:26] G
What's the matter?
[01:27] I
Autonomic repair program
functionality is greatly reduced.
[01:31] I
Currently operating at 9.1 percent.
[01:33] I
Water intrusion points increasing.
[01:38] G
The repair program is non-functional?
[01:41] I
There is evidence that
the initialization command
[01:43] I
used by the nanomaterials comprising
my structure has been overwritten.
[01:46] G
What does that mean?
[01:48] I
A subset of my nanomaterials is
no longer accepting my commands.
[01:53] I
The only ones capable of such an attack are...
[01:57] 400
In the preceding attack,
[01:59] 400
we gained control of
the subset of nanomaterials
[02:02] 400
comprising 401's exterior hull.
[02:05] 402
Re-initialization of nanomaterials:
[02:08] 402
A tactic available only
to us, sister ships to 401,
[02:11] 402
built using the same specifications.
[02:14] 400
401 has now lost the
ability to defend herself
[02:18] 400
against the increasing water pressure.
[02:20] 402
We can just let things take their course.
[02:23] 400
The probability that 401 will be
able to resurface is zero.
SIGN - Above Beaton Seamount, Pacific Ocean -
[02:30] Kiri
We still haven't found 401?
[02:33] Sou
No visual of her in the surrounding waters.
[02:35] Sou
The rendezvous point is supposed
to be around here, but...
[02:39] Kyo
What's going on?
[02:41] Kyo
I thought they'd succeeded
in getting away from Kongou.
[02:44] Kiri
That's what we thought.
[02:46] Shizuka
Takao's been sending out constant call signals,
[02:49] Shizuka
but there's been no response yet.
[02:51] Iori
Hey...
[02:52] Iori
Iona and Gunzou couldn't have
been taken down... right?
[02:58] Makie
Haruharu,
[02:59] Makie
how's it looking there?
[03:02] H
Not good.
[03:04] H
Due to interactions between supergravity
cannons in the previous fight,
[03:08] H
the spatial phase in the area
has become extremely unstable.
[03:13] Hyu
That means we can't even use
the concept comm system!
[03:16] Hyu
Jeez, this is all because someone had to
[03:18] ---
fire without thinking first!
[03:20] Takao
What choice did I have?
[03:21] Takao
If I hadn't fired, you'd be dead now!
[03:25] Hyu
I was against the plan to use
Sister Iona as bait in the first place!
[03:30] Takao
Forget her!
[03:32] Hyu
Hey! What nonsense are you spouting?!
[03:34] H
We've already lost Maya
and Kongou's signature.
[03:37] HT
Huh?
[03:38] H
I suggest that we start by making our
[03:40] ---
way to the area where we
lost 401's signature.
[03:43] Takao
You're right.
[03:45] Takao
Understood.
[03:58] Takao
Chihaya... Gunzou...
[04:13] Kongou
Why did you sink 401 without permission?
[04:16] 402
"Without permission"?
[04:18] 402
Incomprehensible.
[04:19] 402
The sinking of 401 is the
will of the Fog as a whole.
[04:23] Kongou
But I was the one engaging her in combat.
[04:27] 400
401 used full burst mode.
[04:30] 400
It was after she had exited
your detection range.
[04:35] Kongou
Why were you in that
area in the first place?
[04:39] Kongou
I had received no such reports.
[04:40] 400
We were surveilling you.
[04:43] 402
There was a possibility that
you would side with 401,
[04:46] 402
like Takao and the others.
[04:48] Kongou
You thought I would team up
with 401 like they did?
[04:54] 400
We believed it to be a possibility.
[04:55] 400
In fact, you are already obsessed with
401 more than is necessary.
[05:00] Kongou
I am?
[05:02] 402
This concludes our report.
[05:04] 402
Resume your patrol,
[05:06] 402
Kongou.
[05:09] Kongou
Obsessed?
[05:13] Kongou
No.
[05:14] Kongou
I only wish to correct those
who defy the Admirality Code...
[05:17] Maya
Don't look so glum, Kongou.
[05:21] Kongou
Maya...
[05:21] Maya
I'm happy for you.
[05:23] Maya
You won't have to worry about 401 anymore.
[05:27] Kongou
That's...
[05:28] Maya
You just need to abide by the Admirality Code,
[05:31] ---
as you've always been.
[05:34] Kongou
I see.
[05:37] Kongou
I guess you're right.
[05:39] Maya
Yeah, I'm right.
SIGN - Izu-Ogasawara Waters -
[05:50] Hyu
Completed scan of current area
to depth of one thousand meters.
[05:56] Takao
No sign of 401.
[06:00] H
It seems reasonable to assume
[06:02] H
that she has been attacked by
someone other than Kongou and Maya.
[06:06] Kiri
This is a real problem.
[06:08] Kiri
The ocean trench in this area can
[06:09] ---
reach depths of nine thousand meters.
[06:11] Kiri
If she sunk that far,
there's no hope of finding her.
[06:14] Takao
But we have to try!
[06:22] Hyu
Hey, what do you think you're doing?!
[06:24] Takao
What else?
[06:26] Takao
I'm going under to look for her myself!
[06:28] Hyu
Don't be so reckless!
[06:30] Hyu
The ones who attacked Sister Iona
may be in hiding somewhere!
[06:47] Hyu
Given no signs of enemy
ships on the surface,
[06:49] Hyu
the enemy is probably a submarine.
[06:51] Hyu
A heavy cruiser like you would be
at a disadvantage underwater.
[06:55] Takao
Why...
[06:57] Takao
Why are you acting like everything's okay?!
[07:00] Takao
Where's that "Sister Iona!" stuff
you're always carrying on about?
[07:05] Hyu
Of course I'm not okay.
[07:07] Hyu
But Sister Iona asked me
to take care of things.
[07:11] Hyu
In the worst case, I have
to carry on her wishes.
[07:18] Takao
Okay.
[07:19] Takao
Hyuuga, lend me that thing.
[07:24] Hyu
Takao, are you...
[07:26] Takao
I won't let you stop me.
[07:27] Takao
I'll go by myself if I have to.
[07:29] Takao
The Captain is... Gunzou is waiting.
[07:38] I
The bulkheads of 14 additional
sectors have been breached.
[07:41] I
Flooding in progress.
[07:42] G
Again...
[07:44] G
Iona, purge the flooded sectors.
[07:49] G
What's the matter?
[07:50] I
The sectors include the
[07:52] ---
oxygen renewal system
for the entire vessel.
[07:54] G
It doesn't matter.
[07:56] G
Purge it.
[07:57] G
Use the Klein Field to shield
the minimum of sectors
[08:00] G
necessary to sustain the vessel's operations.
[08:02] I
Gunzou!
[08:04] G
Do it, Iona.
[08:08] I
Understood.
[08:17] G
Any luck reaching Takao and the others?
[08:19] I
I am as yet unable to access the shared domain.
[08:22] I
Unable to use concept comm system.
[08:25] G
I see.
[08:26] I
The most likely cause is
spatial anomalies created by
[08:30] ---
interactions between supergravity cannons.
[08:32] G
All right.
[08:34] G
Keep broadcasting distress signals
via normal channels for now.
[08:38] I
Understood.
[08:39] G
Well, then...
[08:41] G
I guess we can only wait now.
[08:47] G
I'm sorry.
[08:48] G
Without Sou and the others around,
[08:50] G
I have to depend on you for everything.
[08:53] I
It's not a problem.
[08:54] I
I am capable of unmanned navigation.
[08:57] G
That's right...
[09:00] G
At first, it was just the
two of us, you and me.
[09:04] G
Then Sou and the others joined...
[09:06] G
Followed by Haruna's group,
Takao, and even Hyuuga.
[09:10] G
Before I knew it,
we'd become a big group.
[09:14] I
Yeah.
[09:15] G
Come to think of it,
that was how it all began.
[09:19] G
I never would've predicted that you
[09:21] ---
would enter our academy
as a transfer student.
[09:24] I
It was necessary to
attract minimal attention
[09:25] I
while making contact with you.
[09:28] G
Well, you attracted a lot
of attention, actually.
[09:30] I
I won't deny that the data
I had gathered was lacking.
[09:33] I
I will do better next time.
[09:36] G
When would "next time" be?
[09:41] I
Gunzou?
[09:43] G
Oh, sorry.
[09:45] G
It's a bit chilly.
[09:52] I
Temperature within vessel
has dropped substantially.
[09:55] I
Will adjust cabin temperatures right away.
[09:57] G
No, we should avoid energy
consumption as much as possible.
[10:10] G
Iona?
[10:13] I
It is possible for me to
simulate metabolic processes
[10:16] I
and raise my surface body temperature.
[10:22] I
But...
[10:27] G
You're right.
[10:28] G
You should conserve energy.
[10:31] G
Can you bring a blanket
from the first aid kit?
[10:44] G
You've changed a lot, Iona.
[10:47] I
I am the same entity as
when I first met you.
[10:51] I
I have not upgraded my hardware.
[10:54] G
That's not what I mean...
[10:59] G
Never mind.
[11:01] G
You're just you.
[11:04] G
Yeah.
[11:05] I
Gunzou?
[11:13] I
Gunzou?
[11:15] G
Oh, sorry.
[11:20] G
I spaced out for a bit there.
[11:25] I
Body temperature dropping,
[11:26] I
heart rate rising.
[11:28] G
I'm okay.
[11:29] G
I'm okay, Iona.
[11:32] I
Your breathing is labored...
[11:34] I
Breathing...
[11:37] I
Carbon dioxide levels within vessel
have increased significantly.
[11:40] I
If current conditions persist,
[11:42] I
it will become difficult to sustain life.
[12:09] G
Don't, Iona.
[12:12] G
I told you to refrain... from
unnecessary energy consumption.
[12:16] I
But...
[12:17] G
It's all right.
[12:19] G
If I stay still,
[12:20] G
I can keep going for a while longer.
[12:45] I
Gunzou...
[12:48] G
What?
[12:50] I
I understand now
[12:51] I
what you meant when
you said I've changed.
[12:56] I
Just now,
[12:58] I
I ran simulations for various means
of maintaining this vessel.
[13:02] I
I have concluded that the best course
[13:05] ---
of action is to abandon you now.
[13:09] G
I'm not surprised...
[13:13] G
Since the day
[13:14] G
I went out to sea with you,
I'd made up my mind.
[13:20] G
I'd do anything...
[13:25] G
if I could save this dying world.
[13:28] I
Gunzou...
[13:29] G
Listen, Iona.
[13:31] G
Forget about me.
[13:33] G
Deliver the vibration warhead
[13:35] G
to the United States, without fail.
[13:37] G
If you do, I'm sure the world will change.
[13:44] I
My former self would have done
so without any hesitation.
[13:49] I
There was no reason not to.
[13:52] I
And yet, I...
[13:57] I
cannot possibly abandon you.
[14:06] H
I received a distress signal 186 seconds ago
[14:09] H
that, though faint,
was presumably sent by 401.
[14:13] Hyu
Based on the circumstances,
it would be reasonable to infer
[14:16] Hyu
that Sister Iona has lost the majority
of her functions as a submarine.
[14:20] Takao
I see.
[14:22] Hyu
Do you really understand what that means?
[14:25] Hyu
It means Chihaya Gunzou is already...
[14:28] Takao
I know.
[14:30] Takao
But if there still is even the
slightest possibility he lives,
[14:34] Takao
I will go.
[14:36] Takao
Gunzou... my captain.
[14:58] G
Iona...
[15:01] I
Gunzou?
[15:06] G
Cut all... life support functions.
[15:13] G
Focus remaining resources...
on protecting the vessel's core functions.
[15:20] I
Is that a direct order?
[15:24] G
Yes...
[15:26] I
I...
[15:28] G
Live.
[15:29] G
Io...na...
[15:41] I
Gunzou...
[15:44] I
Gunzou?
[15:46] I
Gunzou, wake up.
[15:51] I
Gunzou.
[15:55] I
Gun...zou...
[16:15] I
No...
[16:17] I
I...
[16:19] I
I don't want to be... all alone.
[16:24] I
Gunzou!
[16:35] Takao
Where?
[16:36] Takao
Where are you?
[16:38] Takao
Respond, 401!
[16:52] Takao
Found you!
[17:26] Takao
Chihaya... Gunzou!
[17:37] Takao
Jeez...
[17:39] Takao
Really, you're such a...
[17:43] Takao
There's no place for me at all.
[18:29] Kyo
Wh-What the?
[18:49] Hyu
Sacrificing oneself to save another.
[18:54] Hyu
That course of action is normally
unthinkable to the Fog.
[18:58] Hyu
I never imagined that Sister Iona
would make that choice,
[19:02] Hyu
nor you, either...
[19:06] Hyu
It is possible to restore Sister Iona
[19:09] Hyu
using the nanomaterials that comprise you.
[19:12] Hyu
But that means you will
lose your own body.
[19:17] Hyu
Now that we have lost our stock
of nanomaterials on Iwoto,
[19:20] Hyu
it will be pretty much
impossible to restore you.
[19:23] Takao
You're probably right.
[19:25] Hyu
Are you okay with that?
[19:27] Takao
If that's what the Captain...
[19:30] ---
what Chihaya Gunzou wishes.
[20:11] Shizuka
So pretty.
[20:23] I
I...
[20:46] I
He's... alive.
[21:05] Maya
Kongou?
[21:20] 400
401 has merged with Takao,
and regained her functions.
[21:24] 400
She has surfaced.
[21:26] Kongou
What?
[21:27] 402
This surpasses logic.
[21:29] 402
It must be corrected immediately.
[21:32] Kongou
I see, so 401...
[21:35] Kongou
I see...
[21:37] Kongou
This is how it should be.
[21:39] Kongou
Let's go, Maya!
[21:41] Kongou
I will take down 401 by my
own hand this time for sure!
[21:46] 400
You cannot do that.
[21:48] 400
In accordance with the Admirality Code, Kongou,
[21:51] 400
you have been relieved of
your post as the flagship
[21:54] ---
of Eastern Patrol Fleet One.
[21:56] Kongou
What... did you say?
[21:58] 402
Your thought algorithms are
exhibiting severe impairment.
[22:03] 402
At this point in time,
[22:04] 402
you are incapable of making sound
decisions as a fleet flagship.
[22:08] 400
We will assume responsibility
for dealing with 401.
[22:13] 400
Remain on standby until further orders.
[22:17] Kongou
I cannot accept.
[22:18] 402
What?
[22:20] Kongou
I cannot accept that.
[22:23] Kongou
I am the one who will sink 401,
[22:27] Kongou
not you two!
[22:28] 400
So you have changed,
just as we'd feared.
[22:32] 402
We have determined that those statements
[22:35] ---
clearly deviate from the Admirality Code.
[22:37] Kongou
N-No! I...
[22:39] 400
You will be detained.
[22:41] 402
Resistance is futile.
[22:45] Kongou
No...
[22:47] Kongou
No!
[22:48] Kongou
R-Right, Maya!
[22:50] Kongou
You understand, don't you?
[22:52] Kongou
I would never deviate...
[22:54] Maya
Yeah.
[22:54] Maya
It'll be all right, Kongou.
[22:56] Maya
Maya...
[22:57] Maya
You just need to stop worrying
[22:59] Maya
and abide by the Admirality Code.
[23:03] Kongou
Yes, that's right.
[23:05] Kongou
I—
[23:05] Maya
Yeah.
[23:06] Maya
It'll be all right, Kongou.
[23:08] Maya
You just need to stop worrying
[23:10] Maya
and abide by the Admirality Code.
[23:13] Kongou
Maya?
[23:14] Maya
Yeah.
[23:15] Maya
It'll be all right, Kongou.
[23:16] Kongou
What are you saying?
[23:18] Kongou
Maya?
[23:18] Maya
You just need to stop worrying
[23:20] Maya
and abide by the Admirality Code.
[23:20] Kongou
Maya!
[23:22] 400
Don't bother.
[23:23] Kongou
What?
[23:24] 402
Heavy cruiser Maya's Mental Model is not
[23:27] ---
equipped with an emotion program.
[23:30] 400
She is a surveillance unit we created.
[23:33] 400
She is merely a puppet who
responds in accordance
[23:33] Maya
Hey, Kongou, did you know?
[23:35] Maya
A non-perishable food made
by boiling fruit and sugar!
[23:37] ---
with a simple logic routine.
[23:39] 402
We just performed a force-quit
[23:39] Maya
Yup, did you call?
[23:41] Maya
Kongou, you sound tired.
[23:42] 402
since there is no further
need for your surveillance.
[23:43] Maya
Must be tough when no
one will listen to you!
[23:45] Kongou
That's... impossible...
[23:48] Maya
Because she was able to
save her friend, right?
[23:48] Kongou
That's not true, is it, Maya?
[23:50] Maya
What is it, Kongou?
[23:51] Kongou
You're my...
[23:54] Kongou
My...
[23:57] Maya
It's a carnival!
[23:59] Maya
It's a carnival!
[24:01] Maya
It's a carnival!
[24:03] Maya
It's a carnival!
[24:06] Maya
It's a carnival!
[24:08] Maya
It's a carnival!
[24:10] Maya
It's a carnival!

[00:17] Shizuka
Sensors detecting contact on surface.
[00:19] Shizuka
At six o'clock, distance 13,000.
[00:23] Shizuka
Ships identified.
[00:24] Shizuka
Nagara class cruisers...
[00:26] Shizuka
22 of them are in pursuit.
[00:30] Kyo
This boat's still popular with the ladies, I see.
[00:33] G
Iona, why do you think the Nagara
cruisers could detect our position?
[00:37] I
They probably followed our gravitational waves.
[00:41] I
The wave generated while
in Ars Nova mode is very unique.
[00:44] I
It is very difficult to remove all traces of it.
[00:48] Kyo
So in other words...
[00:49] Sou
We're at the center of attention
for all Fog vessels worldwide.
[00:54] G
We don't have a choice.
[00:55] G
We'll shake them all off at once.
[00:56] G
Iori, have the supergravity
cannon on standby.
[00:59] I
What?!
[01:00] I
We're jumping straight in again?
[01:01] G
Sidekick, turn 401 about.
[01:04] I
Sidekick, understood.
[01:05] Kyo
W-W-Wait!
[01:06] Kyo
Doing a sidekick on the surface?!
[01:24] Iori
Graviton chamber at critical degeneracy.
[01:26] Iori
It's freaking hot in here!
[01:27] Kyo
Enemy ships now within range.
[01:29] G
Fire supergravity cannon.
[01:31] G
Mow them down!
[01:42] G
Open fire, all tubes!
[02:09] Shizuka
All Nagara class ships have sunk.
[02:11] Sou
No Thanatonium readings detected.
[02:13] Kyo
Wow, that was amazing.
[02:16] I
Nagara...
[02:17] Hyu
Well done, Sister Iona!
[02:19] Hyu
Please take a seat.
[02:24] G
Return course to 080.
[02:26] Hyu
Ah...
[02:27] Hyu
Even neglect is a sign of your love.
[02:29] Shizuka
Captain, I-400 and I-402 are
still in pursuit from our rear.
SIGN Arpeggio of Blue Steel
SIGN Sisters
[04:24] Sou
I doubt they'd let us go.
[04:27] Hyu
They may not look it, but those
girls are pretty persistent.
[04:31] Kyo
But, they're no match for 401 now
that she's merged with Takao, right?
[04:36] H
Takao...
[04:38] H
Losing her is a great loss.
[04:44] Takao
Hey! Don't talk like I'm dead!
[04:48] H
Oh, you're here?
[04:49] Kiri
Go toward the light.
[04:50] Takao
I'm not dead, okay?
[04:52] Takao
I may have lost my physical body,
[04:54] Takao
but it's not like my union core was lost.
[04:57] Takao
That's why I can manifest within the
boat's self-contained control system—
[05:01] Takao
Hey, what're you doing?
[05:03] Makie
Cool! This is fun!
[05:05] H
I'm happy for you, Makie.
[05:06] Kiri
Be careful playing with it.
[05:07] Makie
Okay!
[05:08] Takao
I'm not a toy!
[05:10] G
Takao.
[05:12] G
Thank you for saving Iona.
[05:16] Takao
I... I didn't do it for her!
[05:19] Takao
I... I'm glad to see you're doing okay, too.
[05:29] Kami
I see.
[05:31] Kami
In the end, what Kita-sensei
said has come to pass.
[05:35] Dude
We also have not found 401.
[05:39] Kami
I doubt I can avoid being held responsible.
[05:44] Kami
However, my decision was the best
possible under the circumstances.
[05:49] Kami
It's not over yet...
[05:50] Kami
I can't let it end yet,
[05:53] Kami
so that I can lead this
world to a better tomorrow.
[06:02] Kita
I see.
[06:04] Kita
So, the assault on the
[06:05] ---
Osakabe estate was orchestrated
by Kamikage Ryuujirou.
SIGN It appears so.
[06:10] Kita
Entrusting the sole vibration
warhead to Chihaya Gunzou,
[06:15] Kita
then attempting to dispose of Osakabe Makie,
the only one who knows how to manufacture it.
[06:19] ---
Does he seek to hold the fate of this nation...
[06:22] Kita
no, the entire world, in his hands?
[06:29] G
Iona.
[06:30] G
Please display our planned course.
[06:32] I
Understood.
[06:35] G
We will continue via Hawaii to
our destination, San Diego.
[06:42] Sou
We lost all of our perishable supplies
[06:44] Sou
when we sank off the shore of Iwoto,
[06:47] Sou
so it'd be good if we
could resupply in Hawaii.
[06:51] Kyo
The issue is how the Fog
forces are positioned.
[06:53] I
That is not known.
[06:55] I
I have never made contact with the
Fog forces deployed in the Americas.
[07:00] G
What about the rest of you?
[07:01] Hyu
The same.
[07:03] Hyu
No one has made contact.
[07:05] Kyo
So even the Fog has factions.
[07:10] G
Sou, how are our munitions looking?
[07:13] Sou
We have 73 assorted normal warheads
[07:16] Sou
and 34 corrosive warheads remaining,
[07:19] Sou
not to mention an unprecedented
amount of firepower
[07:22] ---
in general, after merging with Takao.
[07:24] Iori
All clear in the engine room, too!
[07:26] Iori
It's nice to have fast cooling speeds.
[07:29] G
All right.
[07:30] G
We will intercept 400 and 402 here.
[07:34] Kyo
Hey, what are you talking about?
[07:36] Kyo
Are you serious?
[07:37] Kyo
Getting to the United States
was finally sounding feasible...
[07:40] H
You were already sunk once.
[07:43] H
This vessel has been defeated
by them once before.
[07:50] H
Is there really a chance you could win?
[07:53] G
There is.
[07:55] G
That's why we can fight.
[07:57] G
But, more importantly...
[08:00] G
we can't afford to head for Honolulu
with those two trailing behind us.
[08:06] G
Iona...
[08:08] G
We're going to do this.
[08:13] G
Submerge.
[08:14] G
I'll let you set the depth.
[08:15] I
Understood, setting depth.
[08:26] G
Directive to all crew:
[08:27] G
The craft is entering combat mode.
[08:30] G
We will intercept 400 and 402.
[08:35] 400
401 has submerged.
[08:37] 400
Her gravitational wave readings
have greatly increased,
[08:39] 400
indicating that she has
entered combat mode.
[08:42] 402
So 401 intends to engage us in battle.
[08:46] 402
Is she confident that she will win?
[08:49] 400
Let us make contact with 401.
[08:52] 402
But Takao, Kongou, and the others
[08:54] ---
developed abnormal behavior
by doing so in the past.
[08:56] 402
Making contact with 401 is dangerous.
[08:58] 400
What if we monitor each other
using maximum sensor settings?
[09:05] 402
Understood.
[09:08] G
What is it, Iona?
[09:10] I
My sisters... They are calling me.
[09:23] 400
What is this?
[09:24] 402
It has changed.
[09:36] I
400, 402.
[09:39] 400
You have caused this
change, haven't you, 401?
[09:43] I
Me?
[09:45] 402
Are you truly of the Fog?
[09:47] 402
Who created you?
[09:51] I
I am of the Fog.
[09:53] I
I am just trying to grant Gunzou's wish.
[09:57] 400
And what is Chihaya Gunzou's wish?
[10:00] I
That is...
[10:03] G
Iona?
[10:05] I
...difficult to express using words.
[10:08] 402
The lack of clarity is unacceptable.
[10:10] 402
It is unthinkable for anyone of the Fog.
[10:13] I
I just...
[10:19] I
I just knew, when he touched
me for the first time.
[10:23] I
I still do not know what Gunzou really wants.
[10:27] I
But whatever it may be,
[10:30] I
I will dedicate everything to
ensuring that it comes true.
[10:38] 400
Everything?
[10:40] 402
I fail to comprehend your reasoning.
[10:42] 400
402?
[10:43] 402
Why can I not comprehend?
[10:46] 402
Tell me why I cannot.
[11:01] 400
402, further contact is too dangerous.
[11:07] G
Iona?
[11:10] I
Gunzou,
[11:12] ---
400 and 402 will attack.
[11:35] Kongou
Maya,
[11:36] ---
please release my systems from lockdown.
[11:40] Maya
I have not been given that authority.
[11:44] Kongou
Maya...
[11:45] Maya
It's a carnival!
[11:47] Kongou
Maya, do you remember
[11:51] ---
when you first learned about
the existence of pianos?
[12:02] Kongou
I know you're just a broken program
without a union core, but...
[12:31] Kongou
Maya...
[12:34] Kongou
This is...
[12:36] Kongou
our...
[12:39] Kongou
carnival!
[13:04] Iori
Quantum linkage online.
[13:06] Iori
How's it feel, everyone?
[13:07] Hyu
Link confirmed.
[13:09] Hyu
Signal strength is strong.
[13:11] H
No problems on my end, either.
[13:26] 400
We will not let you reach the
North American continent.
[13:30] 400
Confirmed contact.
[13:32] 400
401 is turning around and
pointing her stern toward us.
[13:35] 402
It appears to be part of her
strategy to intercept us.
[13:38] 400
But the readings indicate that...
[13:47] 400
There are three 401s?
[13:50] 402
Two must be active decoys.
[13:52] 402
Only one of them is 401.
[13:54] 402
We'll know which one soon enough.
[14:03] 400
We can't distinguish 401 from the decoys?
[14:25] 402
401's quantum signature
has been integrated
[14:27] ---
with that of Hyuuga and the others.
[14:29] 402
Are they trying to throw us off their trail?
[14:34] Makie
Do you think we'll actually
confuse 400 and 402?
[14:37] Kiri
It's worth a try.
[14:39] H
Hyuuga, distance yourself more.
[14:41] H
We'll crash.
[14:42] Hyu
Shut it!
[14:43] Hyu
Unlike you guys,
[14:45] Hyu
I'm the only one controlling the decoy!
[14:47] I
Hyuuga,
[14:49] I
do your best.
[14:50] Hyu
I will, Sister Iona!
[14:53] 402
I see.
[14:54] 402
Hyuuga and the others are
controlling the active decoys.
[14:58] 400
What do we do, then?
[15:00] 402
It changes nothing.
[15:01] 402
We will just sink all three.
[15:03] 400
Understood.
[15:04] 400
Flooding tubes 1 through 8.
[15:11] 402
Launch.
[15:12] 400
Launch.
[15:16] Shizuka
Multiple contacts,
incoming at high speed!
[15:18] Shizuka
Torpedoes!
[15:19] Hyu
Sister Iona, let me handle this!
[15:21] Hyu
Iori!
[15:22] Hyu
Cut engines.
[15:24] Iori
Huh?
[15:24] Hyu
Just do it, now!
[15:26] Hyu
Same goes for you guys, too!
[15:38] Hyu
Let's go.
[15:45] 400
One contact, a torpedo.
[15:46] 400
Thanatonium readings.
[15:48] Hyu
Take that.
[15:55] Hyu
Damn, so close!
[15:57] 400
As long as we can detect them, we can react.
[16:01] I
Takao, back me up on control!
[16:04] Takao
Huh?
[16:04] G
Please, Takao.
[16:06] Takao
U-Understood!
[16:11] 400
401 is calling us.
[16:13] 402
What does she want?
[16:18] I
400, 402.
[16:21] I
You are my sisters.
[16:23] I
I don't want to fight with
you if I don't have to.
[16:26] 400
Your request cannot be granted.
[16:28] 402
You are the one who will sink,
[16:31] 402
401.
[16:37] 402
Your companions don't seem
to be as friendly as you claim.
[16:42] H
Continuing to advance.
[16:44] I
Please, listen to me.
[16:47] I
I don't want to sink either of you.
[16:49] 402
You believe you've already won?
[16:51] 400
You are no longer of the Fog.
[16:54] 400
Further dialogue will merely consume
our resources for no reason.
[16:58] 400
Or was that your intention
from the very beginning?
[17:01] I
No, please...
[17:04] G
Assist Haruna.
[17:06] G
Slam the enemy head-on
with sonic torpedoes!
[17:19] 400
Detecting launch of two torpedoes.
[17:21] 402
Intercepting.
[17:29] 400
Sonic torpedoes detonated at 50.
[17:32] 402
Sonar sensitivity decreasing.
[17:33] 402
Target lost.
[17:35] H
Now, Kirishima.
[17:37] Kiri
Launching corrosive torpedoes!
[17:47] 400
What's wrong, 402?
[17:49] 402
Something has changed within 401.
[17:52] 400
"Something"?
[17:53] 402
Cannot assess the nature of the change.
[17:56] I
I must fight...
[18:00] I
Or I will sink,
[18:05] I
and Gunzou will die.
[18:11] 400
One contact, a torpedo.
[18:13] 400
Thanatonium readings.
[18:15] 400
It's a corrosive torpedo.
[18:16] 402
Klein Field deployment will
be 0.03 seconds too late.
[18:21] 402
I will take the hit.
[18:23] 400
402?!
[18:27] 402
Initiating emergency response
program to corrosive torpedo.
[18:32] 402
System error.
[18:41] 402
Rate of corrosion exceeding
theoretical parameters.
[18:44] 402
Reconstruction cannot keep up.
[18:47] 400
Why did you do this, 402?
[18:50] 402
I did not want you to get hurt...
[18:54] 400
Me?
[18:56] 400
Now you are just like 401.
[19:04] Shizuka
Multiple torpedoes,
incoming at high speed!
[19:06] Shizuka
Eight contacts.
[19:07] Shizuka
Thanatonium readings!
[19:09] I
Stop, 400!
[19:11] 400
It's too late.
[19:12] G
401, turn about!
[19:14] G
Launch intercept torpedoes!
[19:29] Shizuka
Two of eight torpedoes incoming!
[19:32] G
Launch sound decoys.
[19:33] Kyo
Launching sound decoys!
[19:40] 400
I will sink you, 401.
[19:48] G
Hyuuga, Haruna, Kirishima!
[20:04] 400
A wire trap...
[20:05] G
Tubes 9 and 10, launch
corrosive torpedoes!
[20:18] 402
400!
[20:25] 402
I am sorry, 400.
[20:28] 400
Why do you apologize?
[20:50] 402
What is the matter, 401?
[20:52] I
Because you...
[20:56] I
my sisters... will cease to exist.
[20:59] 402
You simply engaged enemies in combat
[21:00] 402
and sunk them.
[21:02] 402
That is all.
[21:04] I
But...
[21:06] 402
That is all.
[21:28] G
Iona.
[21:30] I
I'm all right.
[21:32] I
I am Gunzou's ship.
[21:35] I
I will go with Gunzou.
[21:42] Shizuka
Additional ships incoming!
[21:44] G
Ships?!
[21:45] Sou
Confirm IFF, ASAP!
[21:47] G
Engines at combat output!
[21:49] Kyo
Who are these guys?
[21:52] Shizuka
Ship classes identified.
[21:53] Shizuka
One Indiana class,
[21:55] Shizuka
one Iowa class,
[21:56] Shizuka
two Virginia class,
[21:58] Shizuka
one Delaware class,
[22:00] Shizuka
and two Lexington class ships!
[22:01] Kyo
What, are they American forces?
[22:04] G
No...
[22:05] G
These signatures...
[22:07] ---
are the Fog.
[22:10] Sou
So we averted one crisis,
only to face another.
[22:14] Shizuka
Ship contact to our rear!
[22:16] G
Our rear?
[22:17] Kyo
Wait, what now?!
[22:19] Shizuka
Closing in at high speeds!
[22:39] Kongou
The one who sinks 401
[22:42] ---
will be me.

SIGN Arpeggio of Blue Steel
[00:24] Sou
What in the world is that?
[00:27] Takao
Confirmed call sign.
[00:29] Takao
It's... Kongou!
[00:35] Kiri
That's her?
[00:36] Kyo
That's no battleship.
[00:38] Hyu
She doesn't look herself,
to say the least.
[00:49] H
I'm detecting Maya's unique frequency inside.
[00:52] Kiri
They merged?
[00:54] Hyu
No, I'm not getting any response from her.
[00:58] Hyu
Maya must...
[01:00] Hyu
have been absorbed.
[01:02] Hyu
Turned into parts!
[01:09] Shizuka
Captain...
[01:10] Sou
So we have the Fog's
American Fleet before us,
[01:13] Sou
and whatever Kongou's become behind us.
[01:15] Kyo
Damn it...
[01:16] Kyo
And we were so close to
reaching the United states.
[01:29] Kongou
Control to Heavy Cruiser Maya
and Nagara 1 through 8.
[01:36] Kongou
Proceed to launch position.
[01:40] Kongou
Synchronization with
supergravity cannon, confirmed.
[01:43] Kongou
Tactical system, initiated.
[01:46] Kongou
Linking of systems across ships, confirmed.
[01:50] Shizuka
Detecting massive graviton
readings at Kongou's center!
[01:53] Shizuka
Levels increasing!
[01:56] Sou
Captain, we should submerge and evade!
[01:58] I
No, the impact zone is too
large for that to work!
[02:02] Kongou
Fire...
[02:40] Shizuka
The Fog Fleet ahead has been obliterated.
[02:44] Kyo
The whole world's going up in flames.
[02:47] Kiri
Why did Kongou fire on her own allies?
[02:50] G
She missed us on purpose?
[02:54] I
I want to hear what Kongou has to say.
SIGN The Power to Open a Path
[03:15] I
Kongou.
[03:23] Takao
Why?
[03:25] Takao
Why did you fire on your allies?
[03:29] Kongou
I sacrificed them.
[03:32] Takao
Sacrificed?
[03:33] Takao
For what?!
[03:35] Kongou
It's to avoid creating more errors...
[03:37] Kongou
like you and me.
[03:40] I
Errors...
[03:42] H
You mean to say that we
have become defective?
[03:45] Hyu
If that's the case, Kongou,
[03:47] Hyu
just look at what you've become.
[03:52] Hyu
You've abandoned your
form as a battleship,
[03:54] Hyu
deviating from the norms of the Fog
that you cared so much about.
[04:00] Hyu
You are... no longer of the Fog.
[04:04] Kongou
Just as well.
[04:05] Kongou
We are errors.
[04:08] Hyu
But, I don't feel like
[04:10] ---
abandoning my current logic
routine after coming this far.
[04:13] Hyu
I want to know what's waiting at
[04:15] ---
the end of this unpredictable evolution.
[04:18] Kongou
There is no such command to be found
[04:21] ---
anywhere within the Admirality Code.
[04:23] I
Does it need to be a command?
[04:26] Kongou
Yes.
[04:36] Kongou
This is a declaration of war.
[04:39] Kongou
I will... annihilate all of you.
[04:49] Kiri
A declaration of war?
[04:51] H
The concept comm system's
been locked down from the other side.
[04:54] Sou
It seems, after she absorbed Maya
[04:55] Sou
and the Nagara ships, she polymerized
their degeneracy engines
[04:59] Sou
so that their phase would overlap
and they would go out of control.
[05:03] G
Can Kongou maintain her
hull while doing that?
[05:06] Hyu
No way.
[05:07] Hyu
It'll destroy her eventually.
[05:10] G
So she intends to die anyway.
[05:12] Kyo
A mental model committing suicide?
[05:15] Kyo
Unreal.
[05:16] H
The Fog has never possessed such a concept.
[05:20] I
Death...
[05:22] Hyu
Maybe we should reframe it as
[05:25] Hyu
a murder-suicide since she'd take us with her?
[05:27] Takao
Hmph, as if!
[05:31] I
Kongou.
[05:37] Kongou
Sink.
[05:44] Shizuka
This is impossible!
[05:45] Shizuka
Graviton levels increasing!
[05:47] Sou
She can already fire that giant
supergravity cannon again?
[05:50] G
Deploy Klein Field!
[05:52] G
Engine output at maximum!
[05:55] Iori
Full burst mode on standby!
[05:56] G
401, turn about while deploying
the supergravity cannon!
[06:00] G
Even if we can't neutralize
the shot completely,
[06:02] G
disrupting the force field will be enough!
[06:12] G
Fire!
[06:48] Kongou
They've concealed themselves
by disrupting the force field...
[06:52] Kongou
I will not let you escape.
[06:59] Shizuka
The force field turbulence
is about to subside.
[07:02] G
Cut engines.
[07:03] G
Don't let us be detected.
[07:05] Iori
Roger!
[07:05] Kiri
Why are we hiding?
[07:07] Takao
It's obvious that we're at
[07:09] ---
a disadvantage in terms
of both output and firepower.
[07:11] Takao
Direct confrontation would be pointless.
[07:14] Sou
Captain...
[07:15] Sou
We are transporting the
vibration warhead sample.
[07:19] Sou
If we're sunk here,
[07:21] Sou
it'd mean the end of any
hope for humanity's future.
[07:24] Kyo
We came all this way hoping to change the future.
[07:28] Kyo
We ran away from school,
[07:30] Kyo
and even became fugitives
from the government.
[07:32] Iori
Why're we talking about this now?
[07:34] Iori
Gunzou, we've been ready for this forever.
[07:37] Shizuka
We're going to change the world
with our own hands, right?
[07:41] G
That's right.
[07:43] G
We started this fight to bring
change to this closed world.
[07:48] G
We can't wait for someone else to do it.
[07:51] G
Unless we start it ourselves,
[07:53] G
the world will not change.
[07:57] G
We can't stop now.
[08:00] I
Gunzou.
[08:02] I
I'll go persuade Kongou.
[08:06] All
Huh?
[08:07] Kiri
Do you even know what you're saying?
[08:08] Kiri
The concept comm system network
is being kept under protection!
[08:12] I
I won't use the network.
[08:14] I
I'll make a direct connection.
[08:15] All
What?!
[08:17] H
It's possible, if you make direct
contact with Kongou's core, but—
[08:19] Hyu
Sister Iona!
[08:21] Hyu
The possibility of you evading enemy
fire and reaching it is basically zero!
[08:24] I
It's not zero.
[08:26] I
Hyuuga, help me.
[08:28] Hyu
This is unacceptable!
[08:30] I
Please.
[08:35] Hyu
You're an idiot, Sister Iona.
[08:38] I
Kongou... is hurt.
[08:41] Kiri
She seems to be undamaged at this time.
[08:43] I
It's her heart.
[08:45] H
But...
[08:46] H
There's no proof that such a thing exists.
[08:50] Kiri
Why did we end up with such
bothersome logic routines?
[08:55] Takao
Weren't we just weapons?
[08:57] G
It's not about what you were.
[09:00] G
It's about who you are now.
[09:04] H
Who we are now...
[09:07] Makie
Haruharu...
[09:08] I
I want to save Kongou.
[09:13] I
There's no reason why we have to fight.
[09:15] I
And above all,
[09:16] I
a motivation beyond my processing
capabilities is compelling me.
[09:22] I
Gunzou, is this what "will" is?
[09:24] Hyu
Will...
[09:25] H
Will...
[09:28] Takao
Will...
[09:31] G
Iona, can you save Kongou?
[09:35] I
Gunzou,
[09:37] ---
give me the order.
[09:39] G
Iona, you will proceed to
make physical contact
[09:42] G
with the core of flag ship
Kongou's mental model.
[09:45] G
Bring her back under control.
[09:49] I
Understood!
[10:02] G
We will now begin a special operation.
[10:05] G
After disengaging Iona,
[10:06] G
transfer core systems to Takao.
[10:11] Takao
T-minus 210 seconds until
[10:13] ---
we enter effective range
for suppression SSM.
[10:18] Kongou
There you are...
[10:21] Kongou
Maya, let's start the carnival.
[10:30] Shizuka
Confirmed launch of 200...
[10:33] Shizuka
300...
[10:35] Shizuka
512 missiles.
[10:36] Kyo
This is bad...
[10:37] Shizuka
15 antiship laser cannons!
[10:39] Kyo
We're in serious trouble!
[10:40] Shizuka
Supergravity cannon is about to fire!
[10:53] H
Klein Field will reach
saturation in 53 seconds.
[10:56] Makie
Recalculated time to
reaching effective range
[10:59] Makie
is 180 seconds!
[11:07] Shizuka
Supergravity cannon has ceased fire!
[11:09] Shizuka
Detecting multiple incoming corrosive torpedoes!
[11:12] Shizuka
Impact in two seconds!
[11:16] Shizuka
Klein Field going down!
[11:20] G
Flood tube one!
[11:21] Kyo
Hey!
[11:22] Kyo
We're still out of range!
[11:23] G
This is the only chance we've got!
[11:25] G
Launch!
[11:34] G
Provide cover fire!
[11:36] Kiri
Damn it all!
[12:22] Kongou
Fall.
[12:56] Kongou
Why did you come here, 401?
[13:00] I
To stop you.
[13:12] Kongou
I don't know what you're talking about.
[13:31] I
Please, listen to me!
[13:53] Kongou
Just what are you?
[13:56] I
Kongou...
[14:00] Kongou
Physical contact?
[14:02] I
I'm sorry for being late.
[14:17] I
Link complete.
[14:19] I
Kongou...
[14:25] I
I'm being rejected...
[14:27] Kongou
Don't come any closer!
[14:28] I
Kongou?
[14:30] Kongou
Don't come in.
[14:32] I
No!
[14:33] I
If I don't, you'll bring death upon yourself!
[14:40] I
I have learned what death means.
[14:43] I
It is very sad.
[14:51] I
It's sad, so...
[14:53] I
I don't want to lose you!
[14:57] Kongou
Don't touch me!
[15:13] Kongou
Why does someone like you
exist among the Fog?
[15:20] I
I don't know.
[15:23] I
That's why I've continued my journey.
[15:29] I
And I have learned...
[15:32] I
both joy and grief.
[15:36] Kongou
The Fog must be united.
[15:39] Kongou
Free will is unnecessary.
[15:45] Kongou
Having free will... would make us human!
[15:50] I
You're too set in your ways.
[15:53] I
Why do you reject change?!
[15:56] Kongou
"Change"?
[15:58] Kongou
I call this a malfunction!
[16:02] I
That's not true!
[16:04] Kongou
Then what is this agony that
disrupts my mental processes?
[16:08] Kongou
I feel as though I'll be crushed
[16:10] Kongou
by the anger and grief
surging from within!
[16:39] I
Kongou...
[17:00] Kongou
What is with you?
[17:06] Kongou
Such a bother.
[17:17] Kongou
The remaining energy of
the supergravity cannon
[17:21] Kongou
will obliterate both of our cores.
[17:32] Kongou
Disappear with me.
[17:36] G
Fire!
[17:46] Hyu
What about Sister Iona?!
[17:47] Kyo
We'd never let her get hit!
[17:49] G
Iona!
[17:52] I
Gunzou...
[18:02] Kongou
Your readings are off the charts.
[18:04] Kongou
Where have you been storing so much power?
[18:07] I
Even without any of my power...
[18:11] I
the will to stop you...
[18:14] I
is moving me forward!
[18:21] I
Kongou...
[18:23] ---
Here I come.
[18:34] Kongou
Cheater!
[18:36] Kongou
Don't... touch me!
[18:47] Kongou
Why?!
[18:48] Kongou
Why can't things stay the way they are?!
[18:51] Kongou
I don't need change!
[18:53] Kongou
I don't need relationships!
[18:54] Kongou
I was fine being alone!
[18:56] Kongou
I never wanted to become
aware of the outside world!
[19:09] Kongou
Why...
[19:13] I
Kongou...
[19:14] Kongou
Stop!
[19:53] I
It's going to be okay.
[19:56] I
If we can connect,
[19:59] I
and understand each other...
[20:02] I
you don't have to be afraid anymore.
[20:05] Kongou
What's the point of
understanding each other?
[20:09] I
Then we can become friends.
[20:39] Kongou
I see.
[20:53] Shizuka
Confirming Iona's call sign...
[20:57] Shizuka
Mental model Iona...
[21:00] Shizuka
is alive!
[21:01] All

[21:02] ?
Jeez.

[21:23] Kongou
Yes.

[21:29] Kongou
That...
[21:32] Kongou
is still difficult for me to accept right now.
[21:38] Kongou
It'll be all right.
[21:40] Kongou
Even if we're apart, we're connected.
[21:45] Kongou
I believe we've always been.
[21:50] Kongou
If I get lonely, I'll come by for tea.
[21:54] I
Okay.
[21:59] Kongou
401,
[22:01] Kongou
what norms constitute
the basis for your existence?
[22:06] I
My own will.
[22:09] Kongou
I see.
[22:11] Kongou
Thank you.
[23:28] G
Hey, Iona.
[23:31] G
Do you remember the time we met?
[23:34] I
I do.
[23:36] G
How did I look?
[23:39] I
You looked pathetic.
[23:41] G
Back then, I wanted to bring
change to this world.
[23:48] I
Do you think you succeeded?
[23:51] G
Yes, the world will change.
[23:54] G
Thank you, Iona.
