SIGN Naha Airbase
[00:02] Flashback
Let's make it clear who's right.
[00:05] Flashback
If we win, you're going to
change the way you act.
[00:08] Flashback
You're the new girl, and you're
going to start listening to orders.
[00:11] Flashback
And if I win, you'll do whatever I tell you?
[00:18] Flashback
Hm...
[00:19] Flashback
Then I'll ask you to leave Gripen
and be my partner instead, maybe.
[00:26] Flashback
Very well.
[00:27] ---
Are you certain?
[00:29] ---
You don't even have the
slightest chance of winning.
[00:32] ---
Gripen is an incomplete Anima.
[00:35] ---
You can't win against me in a fair fight,
[00:37] ---
or even if you try to trick me somehow.
[00:39] ---
Do you still really intend to fight?
[00:42] ---
I'll ask you the same question.
[00:45] ---
That way, when we kick your ass,
you won't be able to make excuses.
SIGN After the Bewilderment
[02:24] ---
So, um... sorry.
[02:26] ---
We're going to have a real fight.
[02:30] ---
"Impossible. What the
hell are you thinking?"
[02:33] ---
...is what I'd like to say.
[02:34] ---
But words wouldn't be enough to persuade her.
[02:38] ---
I'm surprised.
[02:39] ---
I thought you'd be mad.
[02:41] ---
We don't have time for a lengthy debate.
[02:45] ---
If Phantom doesn't participate
in tomorrow's operation,
[02:47] ---
we're not going to succeed.
[02:52] ---
And that would mean that Japan falls to the Xi.
[02:56] ---
But we don't have time for a mock battle.
[03:02] ---
Eagle and Gripen's Daughters need repairs.
[03:05] ---
What are you going to do?
[03:06] ---
We'll borrow the base's simulators.
[03:09] ---
But even if Phantom agreed to the fight,
do you have a way to win?
[03:14] ---
She'll crack your systems in a simulator
just like she would in the sky.
[03:17] ---
She's the type who'll do
whatever it takes to win.
[03:21] ---
That's why we'll do the same thing.
[03:23] ---
What do you mean?
[03:25] ---
I mean...
[03:31] ---
That's basically gambling!
[03:32] ---
I know it's risky.
[03:34] ---
But is there any other way?
[03:36] ---
Fine. I'll help.
[03:39] ---
I'll send Funato.
[03:41] ---
If he leaves now, he'll make it by evening.
[03:43] ---
Our second try at the operation
is at 0620, before dawn tomorrow.
[03:48] ---
We're launching the attack regardless
of whether Phantom participates.
[03:51] ---
Not that there's any way to know how many of
those cruise missiles will hit without her.
[03:55] ---
I don't really want to think about it.
[03:58] ---
I'm counting on you.
[03:59] ---
Bring that tomboy back in line.
[04:02] ---
Feel free to get a little rough
with her if you have to.
[04:05] ---
As long as her father approves.
[04:07] ---
Yeah.
[04:10] ---
Now, I need to go talk to Gripen.
[04:19] ---
What's wrong?
[04:21] ---
Are you not feeling well?
[04:23] ---
You don't want me anymore.
[04:26] ---
You said you were willing
to be Phantom's partner.
[04:29] ---
That's only if we lose.
[04:31] ---
But if we fight,
we're probably going to lose.
[04:34] ---
If you accepted her conditions when
there's no way for us to win,
[04:37] ---
it means you don't want me anymore.
[04:40] ---
I'm so stunned, I can't even stand.
[04:43] ---
I'll never recover.
[04:45] ---
I want to die.
[04:47] ---
Listen, Gripen.
[04:49] ---
We're going to win.
[04:51] ---
We're going to persuade Phantom to help us,
[04:53] ---
destroy the Xi base,
and all go back to Komatsu.
[04:57] ---
That's why we're going to fight her.
[04:59] ---
Of course, I'll never give you up.
[05:02] ---
We're partners. We need each other.
[05:06] ---
Don't make me say that after
everything that's happened.
[05:10] ---
I'll explain how we're going to win.
[05:15] ---
Kei, where are you right now?
[05:17] ---
On base.
[05:18] ---
I said I had to work.
[05:20] ---
Did you?
[05:21] ---
Anyway, we ran into some
trouble doing inventory,
[05:25] ---
and I might be staying here tonight.
[05:27] ---
Staying there?
[05:28] ---
They don't have enough help.
[05:30] ---
I can't say no, it looks like.
[05:33] ---
Fine. I'll bring you supper,
[05:36] ---
so wait outside the base for me.
[05:38] ---
Well...
[05:39] ---
You can come out for a minute or so, right?
[05:41] ---
It'd be really hard to
get out there in time.
[05:45] ---
Why?
[05:47] ---
Um... Well...
[05:49] ---
It's Kei!
[05:50] ---
Hugs!
[05:52] ---
Huh? "Hugs"? Kei,
I just heard a girl's voice.
[05:57] ---
Are you up to something?
[05:58] ---
Sorry, I'll call you back!
[06:01] ---
Eagle!
[06:02] ---
Daddy told me!
[06:05] ---
He said you're trying to avenge me!
[06:08] ---
Huh?
[06:09] ---
He said you'd kick Phantom's butt
and make her apologize to me!
[06:13] ---
He said you love me and you were mad
[06:15] ---
that she was mean to the girl you loved!
[06:19] ---
I love Daddy best,
[06:21] ---
so we can't be together,
but you made me really happy!
[06:22] ---
Why did he tell her that?
[06:25] ---
This hug is my thank you!
[06:27] ---
Couldn't you have picked a better time?
[06:31] ---
Anyway, get off me. Okay?
[06:35] ---
Do you not like hugs?
[06:36] ---
I do, but... That's not the issue here.
[06:39] ---
Aren't you nervous about tomorrow?
[06:43] ---
Nope.
[06:44] ---
You're not...
[06:46] ---
If you had to pick between Japan and the
whole world, which would you protect?
[06:50] ---
Let's say that if we lose the
battle tomorrow, Japan is doomed,
[06:54] ---
but if you go out there,
there's no hope of surviving.
[06:57] ---
If you want to save all of humanity,
[07:00] ---
it's better not to fight tomorrow at all.
[07:02] ---
What would you do?
[07:05] ---
I can just come back
alive and keep fighting.
[07:08] ---
Go out there like "whoosh,"
and then win like "boom"!
[07:13] ---
Is that weird?
[07:15] ---
No, I just feel a whole lot more relaxed now.
[07:17] ---
Each of you girls really
are unique, aren't you?
[07:21] ---
You each have your own personality
and other things that make you unique.
[07:24] ---
So there must be a place where
all of your values meet.
[07:28] ---
Getting there is our first goal.
[07:30] ---
We can figure out the rest later.
[07:32] ---
What are you talking about?
[07:34] ---
I'm saying that someday, we'll all
be able to understand each other.
[07:39] ---
Thank you, Eagle.
[07:40] ---
That was a much better present than a hug.
[07:45] ---
I don't get it.
[07:58] ---
Oh, there you are.
[08:00] ---
Hey.
[08:03] ---
I did what the director asked me to.
[08:06] ---
Sorry. I know it's sudden.
[08:08] ---
It's fine.
[08:10] ---
I'm not sure I approve,
[08:12] ---
but knowing you, I'm sure you've got a plan.
[08:16] ---
Thank you.
[08:18] ---
Oh, you're having a strategy meeting.
[08:20] ---
Would you like me to wait?
[08:23] ---
What are you talking about?
[08:25] ---
We don't have a strategy.
[08:27] ---
We're going to defeat you
head on, in a fair fight.
[08:31] ---
And there's no reason you brought your
favorite engineer all the way from Komatsu?
[08:35] ---
Funa-san came to repair the Daughters.
[08:38] ---
He's only tuning up the
simulators while he's here.
[08:41] ---
Come on, there's no time to waste.
[08:43] ---
Let's get started.
[08:51] ---
To confirm, it's really okay to decide
my participation in this operation
[08:55] ---
based on the outcome of the battle?
[08:58] ---
Yeah. I've gotten Yashirodoori-san's approval.
[09:01] ---
Don't do anything lame, like sobbing
and begging, after you lose.
[09:06] ---
You, too.
[09:07] ---
When you start crying and begging
for forgiveness, it will be too late.
[09:11] ---
Okay, let's get started.
[09:18] ---
The combat area will be the
vicinity of Naha Airport.
[09:20] ---
This is a one-on-one dogfight.
[09:23] ---
Everybody, review the mission parameters.
[09:25] ---
The weather is cloudy.
[09:27] ---
Cloud cover is 7/8.
[09:28] ---
Wind direction is 180 degrees,
speed is 5 knots.
[09:31] ---
Well? How are you feeling?
[09:33] ---
Not bad.
[09:35] ---
It's better-made than the one at Komatsu.
[09:37] ---
I can fly it without issue.
[09:40] ---
Good.
[09:41] ---
Let's see what you've got.
[09:44] ---
Also, do note that I
neutralized the processing
[09:48] ---
delay program you put into my simulator.
[09:52] ---
It would have delayed my control response
by several fractions of a second.
[09:56] ---
Did you have Funato-san put that in?
[09:58] ---
I'm impressed you managed to do
it in such a short span of time,
[10:01] ---
but it was a rather rough piece of work.
[10:03] ---
I ran 120 or so test signals through
it and found it immediately.
[10:08] ---
Don't worry. I've done nothing to your unit.
[10:13] ---
So far, that is. I can't say what
I'll do when the battle begins.
[10:17] ---
Good luck.
[10:19] ---
No way... That's way too fast.
[10:22] ---
Okay, break left and right,
and begin the mission.
[10:26] ---
The dogfight begins when
you intersect again.
[10:29] ---
Three,
[10:30] ---
two,
[10:32] ---
one...
[10:36] ---
Gripen, does anything feel wrong?
[10:39] ---
I don't know.
[10:40] ---
I don't even know if she's using
the same signals as last time.
[10:44] ---
So we may already be under attack?
[10:47] ---
Yeah.
[10:49] ---
Can we rely on our radar?
[10:51] ---
What do we do, Kei?
[10:53] ---
Fight normally, for now.
[10:55] ---
I'll keep an eye on things.
[10:58] ---
Roger.
[11:00] ---
She's in the clouds, huh?
[11:05] ---
Target lock on.
[11:07] ---
Fox...
[11:09] ---
What?
[11:14] ---
Damn it!
[11:15] ---
That position is totally
different than before!
[11:18] ---
Did she really move?
[11:20] ---
Or is it a fakeout?
[11:24] ---
Radar says left.
[11:26] ---
Thermal says below...
[11:28] ---
But I'm being locked on from behind...
[11:31] ---
Kei, I'm sorry.
[11:33] ---
I can't keep this up.
[11:35] ---
Gripen!
[11:37] ---
Looks like you tried a lot of things...
[11:40] ---
But you're right there!
[11:45] ---
Fox 2!
[11:52] ---
Barbie 03 is down!
[11:54] ---
Gripen wins!
[12:02] ---
What did you do?
[12:04] ---
I took out your radar and data link.
[12:07] ---
How did you find me?
[12:09] ---
You were doing a bad job of concealing
your intent to kill, maybe.
[12:15] ---
Don't make that face.
[12:17] ---
These simulators are multiseat, right?
[12:20] ---
You can put a different system in each seat.
[12:23] ---
We put in an Anima system for the front seat,
[12:26] ---
and a human system in the rear.
[12:29] ---
And what did that do?
[12:31] ---
You took over the Anima data link, right?
[12:34] ---
So...
[12:35] (Flashback) ---
Kei, I'm sorry.
[12:36] (Flashback) ---
I can't keep this up.
[12:39] ---
I cut off the information
coming in from her,
[12:42] ---
and made it so I could receive
information from the craft directly.
[12:45] ---
Once we were just an ordinary manned fighter,
it was easy to spot you.
[12:50] ---
But how could she fly like
that when she was dazed?
[12:55] ---
Who said Gripen was piloting?
[12:59] ---
Halfway through, all she was
doing was sitting there.
[13:02] ---
At the end, I was the one flying.
[13:05] ---
A human pilot?
[13:07] ---
An Anima and a human taking turns
piloting a Daughter?
[13:11] ---
Even a veteran like you doesn't
know everything yet, right?
[13:15] ---
That delay program was a decoy.
[13:20] ---
To hide the fact that we'd isolated my
interface and switched control over to me.
[13:24] ---
You let your guard down after
making your first discovery,
[13:26] ---
and had no idea you walked into a trap.
[13:29] ---
Well? This is a new
experience for you, right?
[13:39] ---
Very well.
[13:41] ---
If you're going to tell me to participate
in tomorrow's mission, I'll accept.
[13:46] ---
But I do have one condition.
[13:49] ---
Condition?
[13:50] ---
I want you to pilot the Daughter
during the next mission, Kei-san.
[13:55] ---
Me?
[14:06] (Flashback) ---
No! Don't!
[14:10] (Flashback) ---
Mom!
[14:23] ---
I want you to pilot the Daughter
during the next mission, Kei-san.
[14:29] (Flashback) ---
Gripen's current combat
abilities are very low.
[14:33] (Flashback) ---
To tell the truth, she lacks
the capacity to handle piloting,
[14:35] (Flashback) ---
radar control, and weapons
systems simultaneously.
[14:38] (Flashback) ---
She knows that better than anybody.
[14:41] (Flashback) ---
So the best option is to split
things up with a co-pilot.
[14:46] (Flashback) ---
Split them up?
[14:48] (Flashback) ---
Gripen's maneuvers are capped at
9Gs in order to keep you safe.
[14:52] (Flashback) ---
So a human pilot won't perform
all that differently than her.
[14:57] (Flashback) ---
Instead, the Anima can handle
the radar and weapons systems,
[15:00] (Flashback) ---
boosting sensors and lock-on capability.
[15:04] (Flashback) ---
And how do we handle the HiMAT?
[15:06] (Flashback) ---
The strength of an Anima is that it can
handle the Xi's maneuverability, right?
[15:10] (Flashback) ---
Only idiots do repeated
high-speed maneuvers.
[15:14] (Flashback) ---
What's important is altitude and speed.
[15:16] (Flashback) ---
You must minimize loss of kinetic energy and
ensure you're always in the optimum position.
[15:22] (Flashback) ---
That's all.
[15:24] (Flashback) ---
Don't worry. I'll be there to help you.
[15:29] (Flashback) ---
You want me to fight the Xi?
[15:33] ---
Am I going to fight them?
[16:00] ---
I'm going to pilot Gripen?
[16:04] ---
Kei?
[16:06] ---
Gripen!
[16:07] ---
What's wrong?
[16:09] ---
I thought you'd be asleep.
[16:14] ---
I couldn't get any rest.
[16:17] ---
You couldn't?
[16:19] ---
Do you promise not to laugh?
[16:22] ---
It's pretty pathetic,
[16:24] ---
but when I think about
piloting in a dogfight,
[16:27] ---
I can't stop shaking.
[16:29] ---
To tell the truth, I'm so scared.
[16:34] ---
You're strong.
[16:36] ---
You don't complain even when
you have trouble flying.
[16:38] ---
You keep trying, never giving up.
[16:41] ---
That's wrong.
[16:42] ---
I'm not strong.
[16:45] ---
But there are a lot of people
in the world who can't fight.
[16:48] ---
Who can't shoot down the Xi.
[16:52] ---
Compared to them, I'm blessed.
[16:55] ---
I can struggle against
them with my own power.
[16:59] ---
I can fight.
[17:01] ---
Complaining is a luxury.
[17:03] ---
Yeah.
[17:05] ---
A normal person can't even
die while putting up a fight.
[17:09] ---
But now I have the power to defeat the Xi.
[17:13] ---
I have wings that can fight back.
[17:16] ---
That's a real luxury.
[17:18] ---
Luxury is the enemy.
[17:20] ---
No, I know what you're trying to say, but...
[17:24] ---
I feel a little better.
[17:26] ---
Okay.
[17:27] ---
Wait, aren't you going to rest?
[17:30] ---
You should get some sleep while you can.
[17:33] ---
I need to tune my Daughter.
[17:35] ---
But I'm fine.
[17:37] ---
I took a nap.
[17:38] ---
And...
[17:39] ---
And?
[17:41] ---
I was able to talk with
you because I was awake.
[17:45] ---
I was able to learn about your fears.
[17:48] ---
Gripen?
[17:49] ---
Don't worry.
[17:51] ---
No matter what happens, I'll be there
to back you up until the very end.
[17:56] ---
I won't let you fly alone.
[17:59] ---
So... let's fight together, Kei.
[18:02] ---
Y-Yeah.
[18:04] ---
Anyway, I'm heading back to the barracks.
[18:07] ---
Get some rest, too.
[18:10] ---
What's that?
[18:12] ---
The Viper Zero.
[18:14] ---
Naha Base's Daughter.
[18:16] ---
Viper Zero?
[18:18] ---
The F-2A-ANM.
[18:20] ---
A combat fighter based on the
American F16-C Fighting Falcon.
[18:25] ---
But the upgrades to it were so great that it
bears little resemblance to its base model.
[18:30] ---
It's a pervert, a 40-year old design
loaded with the latest instruments.
[18:34] ---
Pervert?
[18:37] ---
A fighter than can carry
four AShMs is a pervert.
[18:40] ---
If it's that amazing,
[18:43] ---
why didn't it participate
in the last mission?
[18:46] ---
Naha Base is on the front lines of the war.
[18:49] ---
Protecting it is Viper Zero's job.
[18:52] ---
So it never participates in other missions.
[18:55] ---
So when it does participate,
it means things are really bad, huh?
[18:59] ---
Yes.
[19:03] ---
What game are you two playing?
[19:04] ---
Let me join in!
[19:06] ---
Get off me!
[19:07] ---
Let me join in!
[19:09] ---
We're not playing! Let go!
[19:15] ---
The Taiwanese Air Force, the US Air Force,
[19:17] ---
and the forces at Naha will
be launching a decoy.
[19:20] ---
The hope is that they can lure out the
planes buzzing around Umidori Island.
[19:24] ---
This is a pretty large-scale operation.
[19:27] ---
The bosses have a fire
lit under their asses now.
[19:29] ---
Air routes over the East China Sea
have been totally cut off.
[19:33] ---
Supply lines to the front will
collapse if they don't act fast.
[19:37] ---
Well, it's a bigger deal now,
[19:39] ---
but that doesn't change the fact
that we're counting on you.
[19:42] ---
Good luck out there.
[19:46] ---
So the three of us end up
charging in alone, huh?
[19:49] ---
Well, that was always the plan.
[19:52] ---
Skipper Head to Barbie.
[19:54] ---
We have an emergency.
[19:56] ---
The Taiwanese unit has been wiped
out by another enemy unit.
[19:59] ---
A new Xi force is heading for the 7th Fleet.
[20:03] ---
Barbie 01 to Skipper Head.
[20:05] ---
Is anyone going to defend the fleet?
[20:06] ---
A unit is heading from Naha Base,
[20:08] ---
but it'll take time to arrive.
[20:11] ---
Are we closer?
[20:12] ---
No.
[20:14] ---
If we go to support them, we'll use up
all of our ammunition and fuel.
[20:19] ---
Let's continue on our way.
[20:20] ---
But there's no point if the fleet sinks.
[20:24] ---
Let's split up.
[20:26] ---
One of us will go to support the fleet.
[20:29] ---
The other two will continue the mission.
[20:31] ---
You want us to attack the
island with just two of us?
[20:34] ---
That's crazy.
[20:34] ---
Crazy or not, we have to
use the forces we've got.
[20:38] ---
We don't have the luxury of asking for more.
[20:40] ---
Luxury is the enemy.
[20:42] ---
Fine.
[20:44] ---
I'll go drive off as many of them as I can.
[20:47] ---
We'll just have to hang in there
until reinforcements arrive.
[20:50] ---
What are you talking about?
[20:52] ---
Please protect me, per our original plan.
[20:56] ---
Eagle, go protect the fleet.
[20:58] ---
Why are you telling me what to do?
[21:01] ---
This isn't coming from me.
[21:04] ---
Father told me that this was the
plan if something happened.
[21:08] ---
R-Really?
[21:09] ---
Really.
[21:10] ---
He said that the enemy would stand no chance
in the face of your unstoppable onslaught.
[21:16] ---
Though I'm reluctant to say it, I agree.
[21:20] ---
Then that's different!
[21:22] ---
Daddy said he was counting on me.
[21:26] ---
Okay, I'll go shoot down all the bad guys!
[21:30] ---
Was that...
[21:31] ---
It was a lie.
[21:32] ---
Thought so.
[21:34] ---
Can Gripen and I actually protect Phantom?
[21:39] ---
Kei, radar contact.
[21:41] ---
Head on.
[21:53] ---
There they are!
[23:27] ---
Next time on Girly Air Force...
