SIGN Waters of Ogasawara Islands
[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.
SIGN Iwoto
SIGN Waters of Iwoto
[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...
[02:15] Shizuka
Docking complete.
[02:17] Shizuka
Linkage to port systems, nominal.
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...
SIGN Arpeggio of Blue Steel
SIGN Iwoto
[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...
SIGN Hyuuga's self-absorbed fantasy
[08:22] Hyu
Mine alone!
[08:25] I
Hyuuga...
[08:26] Hyu
Sister Iona...
[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!
SIGN Goddess

No!

No matter how I tried to evade,

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

That's my keel!
[09:28] (Flashback) Hyu
Ah, Sister Iona!
[09:30] (Flashback) Hyu
I am in your thrall!

No one wants to listen to

What?

Everyone's left.

Offshore Murotozaki
[09:59] Kongou
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.

Your other processes will take a hit.
[12:35] Hyuu
Don't underestimate the processing
power of a fast battleship!

You've become a really
weird mental model.
[12:43] Makie
What's this?

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.

Hyuuga!
[13:05] Hyu
Don't misunderstand.
[13:07] Hyu
I like you.

Makie, let's be friends.
[13:10] Makie
Okay!

Things never get boring with you guys around.

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.
[14:09] G
Thank you.

Takao, from this day forward,

you are the flagship of the Blue Fleet.

I am but a heavy cruiser...

How could I become a flagship?
[14:31] G
No, I can't think of anyone else.
[14:34] G
From now on, I will be aboard your ship.
[14:36] Takao
Ah, I'm so honored!
[14:38] Takao

Come, Takao.

Takao?

Chihaya Gunzou!
[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.

That's why I want to know
everything about her.

Do weapons have thoughts?
[16:27] Takao
Who am I?
[16:29] Takao
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.

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!

I finally get some action!

We are weapons!

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

[22:26] Hyu
It's just like you to avoid complications.
[22:30] Hyu
Right, Kongou?
