[00:22] Haruna     "Don't... want to... die..." [00:25] Haruna     "Don't want to die." A phrase     rejecting the shutdown of oneself. [00:29] Haruna     Entry tagged. Categorized. Recorded. [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. SIGN    Illustration by Natsumoto Masato
