[00:18] Soldier
    No!
[00:19] Soldier
    I don't want to die!
[00:22] Haruna
    "Don't... want to... die..."
[00:25] Haruna
    "Don't want to die." A phrase
    rejecting the shutdown of oneself.

[00:33] Kirishima
    Are you collecting words again?
[00:35] H
    Words comprise a primordial,
    beautiful system.
SIGN    Arpeggio of Blue Steel
SIGN    Assault on Yokosuka
[02:16] Kiri
    "Beautiful," huh?
[02:18] Kiri
    I fail to comprehend.
[02:20] Kiri
    As a means of communicating information,
[02:22] Kiri
    it is far too circuitous and inefficient.
[02:26] Kiri
    If we use our Concept Comm System,
[02:28] Kiri
    exchanging information at this level
[02:30] Kiri
    can be accomplished without any lag.
[02:44] H
    Klein Field operating at three percent.
[02:48] Kiri
    I wonder why humans engage
    in such futile gestures.
[02:52] Kiri
    Shall we silence them?
[03:15] Kiri
    They just don't give up.
[03:21] Soldier
    Enemy ship has locked
    her turrets on us!
[03:25] Soldier
    Spare us!
[03:27] H
    "Spare us." A phrase impulsively uttered
     by one who has lost the will to fight.
[03:33] H
    A phrase indicating surrender.
[03:35] H
    Entry tagged. Categorized. Recorded.
[03:38] Kiri
    Time to end this.
[03:44] Kiri
    A corrosive torpedo?
[03:46] H
    Calculating corrosion countermeasures.
[03:49] H
    Adjusting Klein Field.
[03:56] Kiri
    So, she's here.
[03:58] Shizuka
    Corrosive torpedoes,
    impact confirmed!
[03:59] Shizuka
    Klein Field deployment by
    enemy ships, confirmed.
[04:02] G
    They have mental models?
[04:04] I
    Yes. It's Kirishima and Haruna.
[04:06] K
    They're both fast battleship class, huh? Damn.
[04:10] K
    And here I was looking forward
[04:11] ---
    to some downtime during my
     first homecoming in a long while.
[04:13] G
    Iona, attract the enemy's attention.
[04:17] G
    We'll lure them away from the base.
[04:19] I
    Okay.
[04:20] K
    So what's the plan?
[04:22] K
    Head outside the defense barrier
    and bring them with us?
[04:25] G
    No, we have the home court
    advantage right now.
[04:28] G
    We will sink at least one of them here.
[04:32] I
    In order to neutralize the Klein
    Field of a fast battleship
[04:35] I
    and damage the ship itself,
[04:38] I
    we must deliver a direct hit
    with the supergravity cannon.
[04:41] Sou
    That cannon was damaged
[04:43] Sou
    during our earlier battle with Takao.
[04:46] Sou
    We can't use it.
[04:48] Sou
    Furthermore, we used 15
    corrosive torpedoes
[04:50] ---
    to sink the fast battleship, Hyuuga.
[04:53] Sou
    We currently possess six
    corrosive torpedoes.
[04:56] Sou
    No, since just we fired
    two of them, only four.
[05:00] K
    Damn, we're really stuck here.
[05:03] G
    Shizuka, give me the most
    recent tidal stream atlas
[05:06] G
    for the area within
    Yokosuka's defense barrier.
[05:08] Shizuka
    Roger.
[05:10] Shizuka
    Kirishima and Haruna are
    both starting to turn.
[05:13] Shizuka
    Kirishima's bearing is 212,
[05:15] Shizuka
    Haruna's bearing is 215.
[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
    Silver sand... nanomaterials.
