[00:15] Shizuka
    We will be entering Iwoto waters shortly.
[00:19] Sou
    Captain, was it wise to let Fog
    mental models accompany us?
[00:25] G
    I had Iona put their weapons on lockdown.
[00:28] G
    They cannot harm us.
[00:31] Kiri
    Damn it...
[00:32] Kiri
    Haruna, did we really need
    to bend over backwards?
[00:35] H
    Without 401's support,
[00:37] H
    we would have been destroyed.
[00:39] Kiri
    That is true, but...
[00:41] H
    Why did 401 help us?
[00:44] H
    We are her enemies.
[00:47] H
    I want to know why.
[00:49] Makie
    Haruharu?
[00:51] H
    Makie, don't worry.
[00:53] H
    I'll keep you safe.

[01:42] Kiri
    I never would've guessed that this
[01:44] ---
    is where 401's base is located.
[01:46] H
    This island is emitting a powerful
[01:47] ---
    signal that neutralizes detection scans.
[01:49] H
    That's why we could not detect this place.
[01:52] Kiri
    I may be able to use the nanomaterials
    here to reconstitute my own body.
[01:56] H
    Stay as you are for now.
[01:59] Kiri
    Huh? What?!
[02:00] H
    That's better for Makie.
[02:02] Kiri
    Why should I, for a girl like her...
[02:07] Kiri
    W-Well, it's easy to move around,
    so I don't mind...

SIGN    Welcome Back
[02:21] G
    What is it, Iona?
[02:22] I
    Someone strange is here.
[02:24] Kyo
    Someone strange?
[02:25] I
    I'll display her on the monitors.
[02:28] KyoS
    What the—
[02:28] H
    The heavy cruiser, Takao?
[02:30] Shizuka
    How did she even get here?
[02:32] Kyo
    She managed to arrive ahead of us?
[02:34] Kyo
    What should we do?
[02:40] Takao
    If it's you, Captain,
[02:42] Takao
    I might not mind...
    showing you everything.
[02:46] Takao
    Like my engines...

[04:26] Kiri
    The heavy cruiser Takao had gone AWOL.
[04:29] Kiri
    So you guys had seized her?
[04:31] I
    I don't know.
[04:33] Kiri
    Then why's she here?
[04:35] Sou
    What could have happened in our absence?
[04:38] G
    Let's go ashore.
[04:40] Kyo
    You think that's a good idea?
[04:41] G
    Iona, Hyuuga is fine, right?
[04:44] H
    Hyuuga?
[04:45] H
    Do you mean the fast battleship, Hyuuga?
[04:49] I
    She's there.
[04:49] I
    She's come down to the docks.
[04:51] G
    If Hyuuga hasn't been
    subjugated, it must be fine.
[04:55] G
    It's easier to just go ashore
    and find out what's going on.
[05:01] Hyu
    Welcome back, Captain.
[05:04] Hyu
    It has taken you a long time to return.
[05:06] G
    Good work, Hyuuga.
[05:08] G
    You've defended these docks
    well these past six months.
[05:11] G
    Thank you.
[05:12] Hyu
    Not at all.
[05:13] Hyu
    It is a responsibility I have chosen to bear.
[05:17] Hyu
    I...
[05:17] Hyu
    I...
[05:20] Hyu
    Iona, dear Sister!
[05:23] Hyu
    Sister, I... I...
[05:24] Hyu
    I've been eagerly awaiting your return!
[05:28] I
    Get away from me.
[05:29] Hyu
    No, no, no, no!
[05:31] Iori
    What's with her? Is she a mental model?
[05:34] G
    Is it you, Hyuuga?
[05:35] Hyu
    Since that day a year ago
[05:37] Hyu
    when you slammed your torpedoes into me,
[05:39] Hyu
    I, the fast battleship, Hyuuga,
[05:41] Hyu
    can no longer live without you in my life!
[05:44] Hyu
    I'm about to go over my
    processing capacity...
[05:45] Hyu
    I think I might lose my mind!
[05:47] Shizuka
    I think you have lost your mind.
[05:50] Sou
    It really does appear to be Hyuuga.
[05:52] G
    Indeed.
[05:55] Hyu
    I felt this was the best way to
[05:58] ---
    understand your human thought processes,
[06:01] Hyu
    so I created this body.
[06:03] G
    So you're Hyuuga's mental model.
[06:05] Hyu
    Yes, nice to meet you.
[06:08] Hyu
    Oh! Speaking of bodies...
[06:10] Hyu
    Are you...
[06:10] Hyu
    Are you hurt anywhere?
[06:12] Hyu
    Are you injured?
[06:13] Hyu
    Please let me see!
[06:15] Hyu
    I am highly skilled in
    repairs and treatment!
[06:18] I
    Hyuuga, resupply corrosive torpedoes
[06:21] I
    and repair the supergravity cannon.
[06:23] I
    I'd like all repairs to be completed
    before we next set sail.
[06:26] Hyu
    Y-Yes, sir.
[06:29] H
    Hyuuga... To think you had thrown
    your support behind 401...
[06:33] Hyu
    Fast battleships Haruna and Kirishima.
[06:36] Hyu
    I am aware of your situation.
[06:38] Hyu
    Things have taken an interesting turn
[06:40] Hyu
    now that you're here.
[06:42] H
    We just went with the flow.
[06:45] Hyu
    A Design Child...
[06:47] Hyu
    It's for her, isn't it.
[06:50] Hyu
    The more, the merrier.
[06:52] Hyu
    You're most welcome.
[06:54] Hyu
    We're all fast battleships, after all.
[06:57] Kiri
    Hyuuga, why did you
    side with the humans?!
[07:01] Hyu
    Oh?
[07:02] Hyu
    After you used that trump card
    docking move and still lost,
[07:04] ---
    then ended up in that cute little body,
[07:07] Hyu
    you're in no place to talk.
[07:10] G
    Hyuuga, can you save that
    conversation for later?
[07:13] G
    More importantly, what
    is going on there?
[07:15] Hyu
    Oh, that?
[07:18] Takao
    It's been a while,
[07:21] Takao
    401 crew members!
[07:25] Takao
    Oh, Gunzou-sama!
[07:26] Kyo
    Um, who might you be?
[07:29] Kyo
    Oh, got it!
[07:30] Kyo
    It's coming back to me now!
[07:32] Takao
    Hmph, very well.
[07:37] Takao
    How about this?
[07:39] Takao
    I arrived ahead of you and
[07:40] ---
    occupied this base,
    so that I could meet you all.
[07:43] Hyu
    No, you fell to a counterattack
    and were taken captive.
[07:46] Shizuka
    I see.
[07:48] G
    To meet us?
[07:51] Takao
    Yes, that's right.
[07:56] G
    Let's hear what you want
    with us, heavy cruiser Takao.
[08:00] Takao
    What I want?!
[08:01] Takao
    U-Um...
[08:04] Takao
    Wh-Wh...
[08:06] Takao
    What I want is...
[08:07] Hyu
    Go on and say it, Takao.
[08:09] Hyu
    Just as the two of us
    planned in advance,
[08:11] Hyu
    tell him, "Become my captain!"
[08:14] Hyu
    And take that man away!
[08:16] Hyu
    Then Sister Iona will become mine...

[08:30] Takao
    I want... I...
[08:33] Hyu
    Now say it, Takao!
[08:35] Takao
    I'll have you hand over...
[08:36] Hyu
    Say it! Say, "Hand over Chihaya Gunzou"!
[08:39] Takao
    Chi... Chi...
[08:40] Takao
    The vibration warhead and all
    the data you've got on it!
[08:43] Hyu
    What?!
[08:45] Kyo
    You little...
[08:46] Kyo
    I knew that's why you were here!
[08:48] G
    Takao, we cannot hand over
    the vibration warhead—
[08:50] Hyu
    What are you, an idiot?!
[08:52] Hyu
    That's not what we agreed! What was that?!
[08:55] Takao
    Huh, but...
[08:57] Takao
    I can't confess my feelings for him so soon—
[08:59] Hyu
    You're the one who
    charged in all lovestruck,
[09:01] Hyu
    how dare you act shy now!
[09:03] Takao
    W-We maidens have our reasons, okay?
[09:05] Hyu
    Why'd you even mount the Maiden Plug-in?!
[09:08] Takao
    Oh, shut up!
[09:10] Takao
    What have you been doing?
[09:12] Takao
    Being a harbor admin in
    the middle of nowhere?
[09:13] Takao
    Where's your pride as a fast battleship?
[09:16] Hyu
    Shut up! What do you know about that?
[09:18] Hyu
    You should see Sister Iona's
    divine glory, like a war goddess!

    Not there, too!
[09:25] Hyu
    there was no stopping

    That's my keel!

    Ah, Sister Iona!
[09:30] (Flashback) Hyu
    I am in your thrall!

    What?

    Everyone's left.

    The winds have changed.
[10:02] Kongou
    I suppose that was within
    the predicted parameters.
[10:05] Kongou
    However, humans remain an
    unfathomable variable.
[10:08] Kongou
    Osakabe Makie...
[10:10] Kongou
    Chihaya Gunzou...
[10:12] Kongou
    Why are battleships rattled whenever
    they engage with humans?
[10:16] Kongou
    Kirishima, Takao, and the former members
[10:18] ---
    of the Second Fleet all
    possess quite the imagination.
[10:21] Kongou
    That may be attributed to the
    former flagship, I suppose...
[10:25] Hyu
    Achoo!
[10:26] Takao
    What was that?
[10:27] Hyu
    A sneeze.
[10:28] Hyu
    Humans apparently sneeze when
    someone gossips about them.
[10:32] Takao
    Huh, so who was gossiping about you?
[10:34] Hyu
    That's a secret.
[10:35] Takao
    What for?
[10:43] Hyu
    So, Takao.
[10:45] Hyu
    How much longer are you
    planning on staying here?
[10:47] Takao
    Huh? Well...
[10:49] Hyu
    If you're that interested in that human,
[10:52] Hyu
    why not form a fleet with the lot of them?
[10:56] Takao
    What are you suggesting?
[10:57] Hyu
    Captain Chihaya Gunzou is
    going to abandon this base.
[11:02] Takao
    Abandon?
[11:03] Takao
    But how would he fight the
    Fog without a supply point?
[11:07] Hyu
    Maybe he just has unshakeable resolve.
[11:09] Hyu
    It's a concept beyond our understanding.
[11:13] Hyu
    Chihaya Gunzou seems to think
    that if the vibration warhead
[11:17] Hyu
    is mass produced, things will change.
[11:19] Takao
    That's just being reckless.
[11:21] Takao
    It'd be certain death.
[11:24] Takao
    Don't humans value their own lives?
[11:27] Hyu
    Sacrifice oneself for the greater good...
[11:30] Hyu
    I suppose it isn't without precedent.
[11:33] Hyu
    They think it's noble.
[11:36] Hyu
    Well, once they abandon this base,
[11:38] Hyu
    I'll have to stick around aboard 401, too.
[11:41] Hyu
    Why don't you come along?
[11:44] Takao
    Hyuuga, you're not thinking
    about returning to the Fog?
[11:47] Hyu
    There's no reason to.
[11:49] Hyu
    I'll act as Sister Iona's
    subprocessor for the time being.
[11:53] Hyu
    Well?
[11:54] Hyu
    We could call ourselves the Blue Fleet.
[11:58] Takao
    The Blue Fleet?
[12:09] Takao
    The Blue Fleet.

[12:28] Hyu
    I prepared the fish.
[12:30] I
    You must've mounted a strange plug-in.
[12:33] I
    Your other processes will take a hit.
[12:35] Hyuu
    Don't underestimate the processing
    power of a fast battleship!
[12:39] Iori
    You've become a really
    weird mental model.
[12:43] Makie
    What's this?
[12:46] H
    Hyuuga?
[12:47] Hyu
    No need to say it.
    We all have our needs, don't we?
[12:50] Kiri
    You made these?
[12:52] Hyu
    I can make anything as long
    as I know its components.
[12:56] Makie
    Thank you.
[12:58] Hyu
    You're neither human nor Fog.
[13:01] Hyu
    You're very interesting.

    Don't misunderstand.
[13:07] Hyu
    I like you.

    Okay!

    Okay, let's dig in!
[13:19] All
    Thanks for the food!
[13:21] G
    What's the matter?
[13:22] I
    There are so many thoughts and
    emotions intermingling here.
[13:26] I
    Processing them is proving burdensome.
[13:29] G
    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.
[14:05] I
    I am your ship.
[14:07] I
    I will do my best.

[14:29] Takao
    How could I become a flagship?
[14:31] G
    No, I can't think of anyone else.

    From now on, I will be aboard your ship.

    Ah, I'm so honored!

[14:52] Takao
    I-It's nothing!
[14:59] Takao
    401...
[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.
[15:36] Hyu
    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.
[15:52] Hyu
    That's why I want to know
    everything about her.

    Where are we going?
[16:38] Takao
    401, why are you dressed like that?
[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
    ships' welfare like that?
[16:52] I
    What do you mean?
[16:53] Takao
    Nothing!
[16:55] I
    Are you mad?
[16:56] Takao
    I'm not!
[16:58] I
    Heavy cruiser Takao...
[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.
[19:13] G
    Even so, we must carry out this task
[19:17] G
    to halt our progress on the path to destruction.
[19:29] I
    What am I?
[19:35] I
    Who am I?
[19:39] I
    Why did I meet Gunzou?
SIGN    National Diet Building
[19:48] Kita
    From the United States?
[19:49] Secretary
    Yes, sir.
[19:50] Secretary
    Comm lines have miraculously
    been re-established.
[19:52] Secretary
    Th-The United States...
    is still operational.
[19:57] Kita
    So, the future of humanity
    still hangs by a thin thread.
[20:02] Secretary
    However, regarding the
    vibration warhead sample...
[20:05] Kami
    I see.
[20:06] Kami
    So 401 is MIA.
[20:09] Kami
    All right.
[20:11] Kami
    What? Who will take responsibility?
[20:13] Kami
    Responsibility can be taken
    when one is old and gray.
[20:16] Kami
    401 will deliver it for certain.
[20:24] Kiri
    H-Haruna...
[20:27] H
    I know.
[20:30] Kiri
    Kongou!
[20:32] Kongou
    Haruna, Kirishima, why are
    you leaving the fleet?
[20:39] H
    I now have a purpose.
[20:41] Kongou
    The Design Child?
[20:43] Kongou
    The Admirality Code does not
    command our involvement with one.
[20:48] H
    Kongou, do we of the Fog
    exist solely to obey orders?
[20:53] Kongou
    Yes.
[20:54] Kongou
    There is no question.
[20:56] H
    Then what are these emotions?
[21:00] Kongou
    They are simulations designed to
    study and evaluate human thought
[21:03] Kongou
    because it is full of uncertainty.
[21:06] Kongou
    Your confusion is due to
[21:07] ---
    excessive burden on your processor.
[21:11] Kongou
    Haruna, things are also subject to fatigue.
[21:13] Kongou
    You must undergo repairs.
[21:16] Kongou
    Return to the fleet.
[21:18] H
    I made a promise...
[21:22] H
    to become friends with Makie.
[21:24] Kongou
    Friends?
[21:26] Kongou
    I fail to comprehend what you mean.
[21:28] H
    Kongou, I will stay with Makie for the time being.
[21:35] Kongou
    She severed the comm link.
[21:37] Kongou
    And what will you do, Kirishima?
[21:40] Kiri
    I... I intend to observe Haruna.
[21:43] Kongou
    You will not choose to abandon her?
[21:46] Kiri
    I... I will take that under consideration.
[21:51] Kongou
    Emotions?
[21:53] Kongou
    Emotions are tremors of imperfection.
[21:55] Kongou
    They are unnecessary for weapons like us.
[21:58] Kongou
    Maya.
[21:59] Maya
    Yeah, Kongou?
[22:01] Kongou
    The situation is as you heard.
[22:05] Kongou
    You will rendezvous with me.
[22:07] Maya
    Yay!
SIGN    Offshore the Sanriku Coast

    Our directive is to receive
    and carry out missions!
[22:17] Maya
    It's a carnival!
[22:22] Hyu
    Well, you'd already found us out
    when Haruna and Kirishima arrived.
[22:26] Hyu
    It's just like you to avoid complications.
[22:30] Hyu
    Right, Kongou?
