**[00:04] J**
A reorganization?
**[00:06] N**
Yes.
**[00:07] N**
The admiral gave the official order.
**[00:10] N**
As of now, Torpedo
Squadron Three is disbanded,
**[00:13] N**
and you'll be forming new
fleets with the other ships.
**[00:16] S**
The whole fleet?
**[00:19] ---**
Yes.
**[00:20] F**
N-No!

**[01:54] F**
Okay.
**[01:56] F**
That's everything, right?
**[01:58] M**
Yeah.
**[01:59] F**
But, why are they suddenly reorganizing?
**[02:02] F**
Is it my fault?
**[02:05] M**
No, the other fleets
**[02:07] M**
were disbanded as well.
**[02:10] Y**
I wonder where we'll end up next.
**[02:13] F**
I hope it's not with somebody scary.
**[02:16] M**
It'll be okay.
**[02:17] M**
Who knows, we might end up
in the same fleet again, too.
**[02:21] F**
Oh, yeah!
**[02:22] F**
You're right!
**[02:23] M**
And you may end up in
**[02:25] M**
the same fleet as Akagi-senpai!
**[02:28] F**
A-Akagi-senpai?
**[02:32] A**
You did a really good job today.
**[02:34] A**
You were a huge help.
**[02:35] F**
Thank you!
**[02:39] F**
Aw, you're so nice.
**[02:42] Y**
Fubuki-chan's a little creepy.
**[02:46] M**
Okay, we'll be getting up early
tomorrow, so let's get to bed.
**[02:49] F**
Yeah, you're right.
**[02:52] All**
Goodnight!
**[03:06] M**
Hey, Fubuki-chan.
**[03:08] M**
Listen... I really
**[03:11] M**
liked sleeping above you.
**[03:14] M**
It made me feel safe.
**[03:15] F**
Yeah. Me, too.
**[03:17] F**
I always slept great under you.
**[03:21] F**
Thank you.
**[03:22] F**
I'm really glad we got
to be in the same fleet.
**[03:26] M**
Yeah.
**[03:29] M**
Hey—
**[03:29] M**
Listen—
**[03:34] M**
Want to go for a quick walk?
**[03:36] F**
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.
**[03:44] F**
It's so pretty.
**[03:46] M**
The moon's so bright.
**[03:48] F**
If Sendai-san saw this,
I'm sure she'd be really happy.
**[03:51] F**
She'd scream, "Night battle!"
**[03:53] Y**
No fair! You two left without me.
**[03:56] F**
Yuudachi-chan!
**[03:57] M**
I thought you were asleep.
**[04:00] Y**
I was thinking about how this was our
last night together, and I couldn't sleep.
**[04:03] F**
Really?
**[04:04] F**
I didn't think you cared about that stuff.
**[04:09] Y**
That's mean!
**[04:10] Y**
You guys just looked so sad
that I couldn't say anything.
**[04:14] Y**
Right?
**[04:15] F**
You guys, too?
**[04:19] S**
It's night!
**[04:20] S**
Night is so great! My blood runs so hot!
**[04:23] J**
Sister, we're not here for a night battle.
**[04:27] S**
I know.
**[04:32] S**
Put out your hand. Okay?
**[04:44] J**
Even if we end up in different fleets,
**[04:46] J**
let's hold on to the torpedo girl souls that
**[04:49] J**
we gained here in Torpedo Squadron Three.
**[04:52] F**
Jintsuu-san.
**[04:53] S**
That just doesn't feel right.
**[04:55] S**
Jintsuu is just too serious.
**[04:57] S**
Naka.
**[04:58] N**
Okay!
**[05:00] N**
Okay, then.
**[05:02] N**
Everybody, even if we end
up in different fleets,
**[05:05] N**
let's use our torpedo girl
souls to do our best!
**[05:08] M**
Let's go!
**[05:09] All**
Yeah!
**[05:12] O**
Next, Light Cruiser Yuubari.
**[05:15] Y**
Here.
**[05:21] F**
What should I do?
**[05:22] O**
Next, Destroyer Fubuki.
**[05:24] F**
R-Right!
***SIGN*** Fubuki
**[05:30] F**
Destroyer Fubuki is here!
**[05:35] M**
Fubuki-chan.
**[05:36] M**
How'd it go?
**[05:37] F**
Mobile Unit Five.
**[05:40] M**
Wow!
**[05:41] M**
That's the special fleet that was just made!
**[05:44] F**
Really?
**[05:45] F**
What about you, Mutsuki-chan?
**[05:47] M**
I'm in Fleet Four.
**[05:49] F**
I see.
**[05:50] M**
It can't be helped.
**[05:51] M**
We'll still be together during training,
so let's do our best!
**[05:55] F**
Yeah.
**[05:56] M**
Anyway, I'm going this way.
**[06:05] F**
That's right. I have to do my best.
**[06:08] F**
Okay... Five... Five...
**[06:13] F**
There it is.
***SIGN*** Mobile Unit Five
**[06:16] F**
I'm so nervous...
**[06:21] F**
Um... hello?
**[06:24] O**
And then, I think we should
put some flowers here.
**[06:28] O**
Then, we can put pictures of you
and me on this wall, Kitakami-san!
**[06:32] K**
Sounds great.
**[06:33] K**
I didn't think I'd get to be in
the same fleet as you, Ooicchi.
**[06:37] O**
It's fate!
**[06:39] O**
You and I are fated to be together, always!
**[06:42] F**
Um...
**[06:43] O**
And so, for this bed...
**[06:45] F**
Um...
**[06:47] F**
Hello.
**[06:51] K**
You're that Special Type Destroyer—
**[06:53] O**
Looks like she got the wrong room.
**[06:55] O**
I'll show her where she belongs.
**[07:01] O**
What do you want?
**[07:04] F**
Well, I'm going to be in this fleet—
**[07:07] O**
Your room is that way.
**[07:09] O**
So don't bug us, okay?
**[07:12] F**
Um...
**[07:13] K**
Get it worked out?
**[07:15] O**
Yes! I very politely showed her to her room!
**[07:22] F**
Um...
**[07:23] Sh**
In other words, you don't like the
way the admiral organized the fleet?
**[07:26] K**
No. I simply said
**[07:29] K**
that I don't want to be placed with
the girls from Carrier Group Five.
**[07:32] Sh**
You're not holding back, are you?
**[07:36] K**
I don't want to lie.
**[07:37] Sh**
Lie?
**[07:38] Sh**
In other words, Carrier Group One is better,
**[07:40] Sh**
so you don't want to be with someone
from Carrier Group Five, like me?
**[07:43] K**
Yes. And?
**[07:46] Sh**
Ah, um—
**[07:47] Sh**
Zuikaku.
**[07:48] Z**
Shoukaku-nee...
**[07:50] Sh**
Stop it.
**[07:51] Sh**
Kaga-san is a Fleet Carrier from Division One.
**[07:54] Sh**
She's more vital to the fleet than we are,
**[07:57] Sh**
and she's stronger than us.
**[07:59] Sh**
But—
**[08:00] Z**
Listen.
**[08:01] Z**
The reason we were able to
perform in our last battle was
**[08:04] Z**
because our escort ship did her best.
**[08:08] Sh**
Escort ships?
**[08:09] Z**
I'm sorry she's being rude.
**[08:12] Z**
I hope you can get along with Zuikaku.
**[08:17] Z**
Do your best.
**[08:19] Sh**
Glad to be working with you, Escort Ship.
**[08:23] K**
I'm slightly upset now.
**[08:25] K**
So, what do you want?
**[08:28] F**
Um... I got the wrong room!
**[08:31] F**
Excuse me!
**[08:33] F**
What should I do?
**[08:34] F**
I lied because I didn't want to go inside!
**[08:37] K**
Hey, Bucky!
**[08:40] F**
Kongou-san!
**[08:44] K**
What?
**[08:45] K**
What's going on?
**[08:46] F**
Um, actually,
**[08:49] F**
I've been assigned to this fleet.
**[08:52] K**
Wow! Congratulations!
**[08:54] K**
I'll be with you, too!
**[08:56] F**
You are, Kongou-san?
**[08:58] K**
Glad to be working with you!
**[09:01] F**
Kongou-san...
**[09:03] F**
I'm so glad!
**[09:04] F**
I'm so glad...
**[09:07] K**
What's wrong?
**[09:12] K**
So this is Mobile Unit Number Five?
**[09:20] K**
Why don't we have tea time?
**[09:24] O**
Can we hurry this up?
**[09:26] O**
I want to go get something
to eat with Kitakami-san.
**[09:29] Km**
But we have to decide who's
sleeping where first.
**[09:32] F**
Okay.
**[09:33] F**
Well, you've all got your luggage.
**[09:36] K**
I'm sleeping in a different
room than Carrier Group Five.
**[09:39] K**
That's all.
**[09:40] Z**
Me, too. I refuse to be in the
same room as Carrier Group One.
**[09:43] O**
Just so we're clear,
**[09:44] O**
if I end up in a different
room than Kitakami-san,
**[09:47] O**
you'll be talking to my 61
centimeter quad torpedoes.
**[09:50] O**
Got it?
**[09:51] F**
Um... but...
**[09:54] K**
This is a pretty funny fleet!
**[09:57] K**
Why don't we all play sumo
and decide the winner.
**[10:00] F**
Now's not the time to play around.
**[10:03] F**
Anyway...
**[10:10] F**
It's no good.
**[10:13] M**
So, that's how it went?
**[10:14] M**
That sounds rough.
**[10:17] F**
I feel so nervous in my room.
**[10:19] F**
Everybody's on edge.
**[10:21] M**
What did Kongou-san say?
**[10:23] (Flashback) K**
It'll work out somehow!
**[10:25] (Flashback) K**
No heat or cold lasts over the equinox!
**[10:28] F**
I have no idea what she meant.
**[10:32] Y**
So, how's your fleet look, Mutsuki-chan?
**[10:35] M**
Mogami-san is in my fleet.
**[10:39] (Flashback) M**
I'll teach you whenever you want.
**[10:42] F**
That's so great!
**[10:44] F**
That's so great...
**[10:44] M**
What about you, Yuudachi-chan?
**[10:46] Y**
I ended up with Naka-chan.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Both**
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[10:54] F**
That's so great!
**[10:56] F**
That's so great...
**[10:57] M**
I'm glad. That sounds like fun.
**[10:57] F**
That's so great...
**[10:59] F**
Compared to that, I'm...

Mamiya
**[11:06] Mamiya**
Here you go.
**[11:08] Mamiya**
Where are the other two you're always with?
**[11:09] F**
Their new fleets are having a welcome party.
**[11:13] M**
I see. Well, cheer up.
**[11:16] M**
Welcome.
**[11:20] F**
Akagi-senpai!
**[11:22] A**
I'll have the usual.
**[11:22] M**
Okay.
**[11:24] A**
Fubuki-san.
**[11:25] A**
I heard you ended up in the
same fleet as Kaga-san.
**[11:29] A**
Y-Yes!
**[11:31] F**
That's right! I'm honored to
**[11:32] F**
be in the same fleet as a Fleet Carrier.
**[11:35] A**
Are you okay?
**[11:36] A**
Kaga-san said she was really
irritated to be put in the
**[11:38] A**
same fleet as a girl from Carrier Group Five.
**[11:44] A**
I see.
**[11:45] A**
So that's what happened.
**[11:47] F**
I just can't see
**[11:50] F**
that fleet working out.
**[11:52] F**
Why did the admiral
make a fleet like that?
**[11:55] A**
I don't know,
**[11:57] A**
but I'd imagine Operation FS
has something to do with it.
**[12:01] F**
FS?
**[12:02] A**
Yes, the official name for
**[12:05] A**
the counterattack operation
that was begun earlier.
**[12:07] A**
We're going to split
**[12:09] A**
the sea lanes between
**[12:12] A**
two huge Abyssal bases in
**[12:15] A**
the southwest and neutralize them.
**[12:17] A**
If we do that, we may learn where
**[12:21] A**
the mysterious Abyssals are coming from
**[12:24] A**
and their goals.
**[12:25] A**
That's what I was told.
**[12:28] A**
But, for the operation to succeed,
**[12:31] A**
we need to improve ourselves, and be able to
**[12:34] A**
deal with any situation that comes up.
**[12:37] F**
That's why the admiral...
**[12:39] A**
It's just a guess,
**[12:41] A**
but I can't imagine the admiral
**[12:43] A**
putting together a fleet
without a good reason.
**[12:46] A**
There must be some reason.
**[12:50] F**
I see... You're right!
**[12:55] F**
That's right. There must be some reason!
**[13:01] F**
I shouldn't be jealous of
others and get depressed.
**[13:04] F**
I need to do my best!
**[13:08] Z**
What does that mean?
**[13:14] F**
I need to do my best...
**[13:26] O**
Would you just decide, already?
**[13:28] F**
Um, what is this?
**[13:30] K**
Oh, Bucky!
**[13:32] K**
We were picking our flagship.
**[13:35] F**
Our flagship?
**[13:37] K**
Yup, yup.
**[13:38] Z**
That's right.
**[13:39] Z**
Who's best suited to be
the flagship in this fleet?
**[13:43] Z**
What do you think?
**[13:45] ---**
Um...
**[13:47] ---**
Uh... Um...
**[13:51] F**
It's hard to say.
**[13:53] Z**
What?
**[13:54] K**
I'm a battleship, so it should be me!
**[13:57] F**
You, Kongou-san?
**[13:58] ---**
Yes!
**[13:59] Z**
Is a girl who's come back
from England up for the job?
**[14:03] K**
I'm going to pass.
**[14:05] K**
I'm not confident in my ability
to give orders to someone at your level.
**[14:08] Z**
All right.
**[14:09] Z**
I'll do it, then.
**[14:11] K**
I oppose that.
**[14:13] ---**
Why's that?!
**[14:13] O**
If the battleship and carriers
don't have their stuff together,
**[14:17] O**
I don't feel safe fighting.
**[14:19] O**
What if something happens to Kitakami-san?
**[14:22] Z**
You can't leave everything to us
just because you're Light Cruisers!
**[14:25] O**
We are *Torpedo* Cruisers.
**[14:27] O**
You don't even know that, Flight-Deck Chest?
**[14:31] Z**
Flight-Deck... what did you say?
**[14:34] O**
An underdeveloped ship like
you isn't up to the job.
**[14:38] O**
It'd be better for me to do it.
**[14:40] K**
You, Ooicchi?
**[14:42] K**
I wouldn't want that.
**[14:43] K**
If you're the flagship,
the enemy's going to aim at you a lot.
**[14:46] O**
Kitakami-san, you're that worried about me?
**[14:50] O**
Very well, we'll let Flight-Deck Chest do it.
**[14:53] Z**
Wait, what did you just say?!
**[14:55] F**
Um...
**[14:57] K**
Okay.
**[14:58] K**
Let's have everybody try it once,
**[15:01] K**
and the MVP gets to be the flagship.
**[15:05] Z**
Fine with me.
**[15:07] Z**
We'll learn how big a difference there is
**[15:09] Z**
between Carrier Group One
and Carrier Group Five, too.
**[15:12] K**
That's right. It would best going forward
**[15:14] K**
if you knew your own strength.
**[15:17] K**
It's decided, then!
**[15:19] K**
Bucky, get ready!
***SIGN*** Assault
**[15:25] K**
Okay, I'll start!
**[15:28] K**
Here we go! Follow me!
**[15:39] K**
I failed, didn't I?
**[15:41] K**
The plan was too rough.
**[15:43] Kt**
Ooicchi, are you okay?
**[15:47] Z**
I told you.
**[15:49] Z**
Next, it's my turn.
**[15:55] Z**
Carrier Zuikaku, heading out!
**[15:59] Z**
I'd like to outrange them.
**[16:10] Kt**
It worked out the same way, didn't it?
**[16:13] Z**
This happened because you
didn't follow my orders.
**[16:16] K**
I can't obey orders that are clearly wrong.
**[16:21] K**
It was a mistake to leave someone from
Carrier Group Five in charge in the first place.
**[16:25] K**
I'll do it.
**[16:30] K**
It seems it was difficult
for me to match your level.
**[16:34] Z**
Who was it who immediately took
moderate damage in the first battle?
**[16:38] K**
Okay, next!
**[16:43] K**
Next!
**[16:48] Kt**
Why didn't it work?
**[16:51] K**
There weren't any orders.
**[16:53] O**
Kitakami-san and I were perfect.
**[16:57] K**
What's the point of organizing
**[16:59] K**
the whole fleet around Kitakami?
**[17:07] F**
That's cute.
**[17:08] F**
Is that a rabbit?
**[17:10] K**
Akagi-san taught me.
**[17:12] K**
We're often in the docks for a long time.
**[17:15] K**
Here.
**[17:17] F**
Akagi-senpai taught you this...
**[17:25] Z**
I'm going to go talk to the admiral.
**[17:29] Z**
If we go into the real
counterattack operation like this,
**[17:32] Z**
we'll just slow down the others.
**[17:35] Z**
He'll have to change who's in the fleet.
**[17:37] K**
It's a funny fleet, though.
**[17:39] Z**
It doesn't matter whether it's funny or not.
**[17:41] K**
The members we have are poorly
balanced to begin with.
**[17:45] K**
It may be best to ask
the admiral to reconsider.
**[17:50] O**
I agree.
**[17:51] F**
W-Wait, please.
**[17:52] Z**
What? Are you opposed to that?
**[17:54] F**
I don't know, but...
**[17:56] F**
We were just assigned to a new fleet.
**[18:00] Z**
That's why it's best to be quick about it.
**[18:03] Z**
There are some people
who just can't get along.
**[18:06] Z**
Being close to one another just ends in pain.
**[18:12] F**
But...
**[18:15] Z**
What's that?
**[18:17] Z**
It's cute.
**[18:22] Z**
Show me how to make it sometime.
**[18:41] F**
Zuikaku-san!
**[18:42] Z**
What?
**[18:43] F**
I... I want to do my best in this fleet!
**[18:47] F**
I don't want to give up before we even try.
**[18:51] Z**
Fubuki...
**[18:52] Z**
But...
**[18:59] Z**
Listen...
**[19:04] O**
Incoming message from our recon planes.
**[19:06] O**
A fleet of enemy Abyssals lead by
**[19:09] O**
a Chi-Class Torpedo Cruiser has been
sighted in the vicinity of the Naval District.
**[19:13] O**
They're heading North
towards the Naval District.
**[19:18] N**
Mobile Unit Five is to sortie immediately
**[19:20] N**
and eliminate them!
**[19:25] K**
Where's the enemy?
**[19:27] Z**
They said it was just a few
torpedo cruisers, right?
**[19:30] O**
This'll be easy!
**[19:31] O**
Let's wipe them out, Kitakami-san.
**[19:34] K**
Yeah.
**[19:36] Z**
Wait! I'll go, too!
**[19:38] F**
Wait.
**[19:41] F**
Didn't we always learn in
practice that regardless of
**[19:45] F**
the enemy's numbers, it's important
to function as a fleet?
**[19:49] O**
Then, what do we do?
**[19:51] F**
Zuikaku-san and Kaga-san should
start by scouting the enemy.
**[19:54] Z**
Scouting?
**[19:55] Z**
For just a few enemies?
**[19:57] K**
Me, too?
**[19:58] F**
That's why I think it's
better to do it right.
**[20:03] K**
All right.
**[20:07] K**
Ooi-san and Kitakami-san should prepare
for a torpedo battle off the port side.
**[20:11] Kt**
You're right. Got it.
**[20:13] O**
Kitakami-san?
**[20:14] O**
But, who's going ahead?
**[20:16] F**
I will!
**[20:19] F**
I'll draw their attention.
**[20:20] F**
All of you attack them!
**[20:25] K**
Enemy fleet sighted.
**[20:26] F**
Here we go!
**[21:04] F**
Firing! Fire!
**[21:09] F**
Shit!
**[21:12] K**
Ooicchi!
**[21:13] O**
Kitakami-san!
**[21:19] ---**
We did it!
***SIGN*** Mobile Unit Five
**[21:29] F**
Flagship?!
**[21:31] K**
That's right.
**[21:32] K**
We've decided on you, Bucky!
**[21:34] F**
Wait a second!
**[21:36] F**
I've never heard of
a Destroyer being a flagship!
**[21:40] Z**
I thought the same thing, but...
**[21:43] K**
A fleet of two carriers,
two torpedo cruisers,
**[21:45] K**
one battleship, and one destroyer is
**[21:48] K**
normally impossible, anyway.
**[21:51] O**
So, we thought we should go
**[21:53] O**
with an impossible flagship, too.
**[21:55] F**
B-But...
**[21:57] K**
Stop talking and just try it!
**[21:59] K**
The journey of one thousand miles
begins with a single step!
**[22:02] F**
What are you talking about?
**[22:09] F**
Was this really for the best?
**[22:11] K**
Is it teatime yet?!
**[22:14] O**
Be quiet and go to bed!
**[22:17] F**
It is, yes.
**[22:19] ---**
Fubuki.
**[22:22] Z**
Show me how to make this thing.
**[22:25] F**
Go ask Kaga-san, then.
**[22:28] F**
She made this.
**[22:35] F**
Will you teach her?
**[22:38] ---**
Wait, but—
**[22:40] K**
Sure, I guess.
**[22:42] F**
Let's go.
**[22:47] F**
Okay.
**[22:47] K**
You're too close.
**[22:48] F**
That's okay.
**[22:49] F**
You come over here too, Zuikaku-san.
**[22:53] F**
Come on, hurry!
**[22:54] Z**
Wait a second!
**[22:56] F**
You're too close.
**[22:57] Z**
Scoot in a little, Zuikaku-san...
**[23:00] F**
Way too close.
