[00:19] O
    I've finished decoding the message.
[00:21] O
    It contains the next
    objective for Operation FS,
[00:24] O
    as well as the details of the operation.
[00:26] M
    Give us the report.
[00:28] O
    Yes.
[00:29] O
    Yes. The target of the
    operation is abyssal base MO.
[00:31] O
    The order has been given
    to our Naval District to
[00:35] O
    send a Carrier Battle Group
    and a support fleet.
[00:38] N
    Understood.

    Burning Love!
[02:24] K
    Hit!
[02:25] ---
    Yay!
[02:29] O
    Kitakami-san! Your left!
[02:31] K
    'Kay.
SIGN    I Hate Carrier Group One!
[02:36] F
    Don't do anything too crazy, you guys.
[02:40] F
    We're part of Operation MO tomorrow!
[02:43] K
    I know.
[02:45] O
    That's right.
[02:46] O
    Tomorrow, I'll let you see
    Kitakami-san being even more amazing!
[02:51] F
    I'm looking forward to it.
[02:54] F
    I was worried when
[02:55] F
    we left the base to tune our equipment
[02:58] F
    and ran into the enemy.
[03:00] F
    But, it looks like we'll be okay—
[03:01] Z
    You're in the way, Miss Former-Battleship!
[03:04] K
    I refuse to allow the likes of the
    Carrier Group Five to go ahead of me.
[03:07] Z
    Just move!
[03:10] Z
    Got 'em!
[03:15] Z
    All right! Drop your torpedoes!
[03:20] Z
    Okay, got it!
[03:26] Z
    My target...
[03:30] F
    Wow!
[03:33] K
    They're all very talented girls.
[03:36] Z
    The way you talk really pisses me off.
[03:40] K
    Because it's the truth.
[03:42] F
    Anyway, you two carriers need to get back!
[03:45] F
    You're not supposed to fight this close!
[03:48] Z
    It's okay. This is nothing.
[03:50] Z
    Just wait. My planes are just as—
[03:56] F
    Zuikaku-san! Torpedo!
[04:02] F
    Kaga-san!
[04:06] N
    You really think so, Admiral?
[04:10] N
    That would explain the failure
    of the ambush at W Island,
[04:14] N
    but—
[04:15] N
    What?
[04:16] N
    We're busy!
[04:19] M
    Assault Force Five has sent an emergency
    message from the seas near the Naval District!
[04:23] N
    What?
[04:31] Ak
    Kaga-san...
[04:32] I
    That looks like it hurts!
[04:34] N
    Kaga!
[04:37] M
    They really got you.
[04:39] F
    It's my fault.
[04:41] F
    I was the flagship and I didn't give
    the right orders to everyone...
[04:45] F
    I'm very sorry!
[04:46] K
    No.
[04:47] K
    It was an accident that
    we encountered the enemy.
[04:50] K
    Getting too far ahead and taking
    damage was my own mistake.
[04:54] K
    I'm terribly sorry.
[04:56] Z
    Stop showing off.
[04:59] Z
    You took that torpedo for me.
[05:02] Z
    I'm the one who's most at fault for letting
    my guard down and getting too far ahead.
[05:06] Z
    Why aren't you angry at me?
[05:08] K
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[05:09] K
    If you'd taken that hit while
     as unprepared as you were,
[05:12] K
    you likely would have sunk.
[05:15] K
    But, I was able to choose where it hit,
[05:18] K
    and was confident in my ability to not sink.
[05:21] K
    I cannot allow any of the
    admiral's ships to be lost,
[05:24] K
    even Carrier Group Five.
[05:27] K
    I simply bet on the small hope I saw
[05:29] K
    in that desperate situation,
[05:32] K
    and I won.
[05:33] Z
    Wh-What?
[05:35] Z
    You're all beat up!
[05:38] Z
    So why are you so arrogant?
[05:39] K
    Hey, hey, everybody.
[05:41] K
    Let's calm down.
[05:43] K
    It was bad luck that you got hit,
[05:46] K
    but if you use an instant repair,
[05:48] K
    tea time will be over before
    the water even boils!
[05:51] T
    Sorry, but that's not happening.
[05:54] K
    What? Why?
[05:56] M
    Since the start of Operation FS,
[05:59] M
    the territory under our
    control has expanded, but...
[06:02] T
    But, that also means that our
    supply lines are longer.
[06:05] T
    We still have plenty of fuel and steel,
[06:08] T
    but, partially because of
    the upcoming operation,
[06:11] T
    we're out of instant repairs to use.
[06:14] T
    Akagi got hit the other day,
[06:16] T
    and she's still in the docks.
[06:19] K
    Supplies are so important, though!
[06:22] M
    Kaga's got no chance of making it in time.
[06:25] M
    What do we do?
[06:26] M
    The main MO force should
    have already left by now.
[06:30] Sh
    I'll go.
[06:32] Z
    Shoukaku-nee...
[06:34] Sh
    Kaga-san, I'm truly grateful that
[06:37] Sh
    you protected Zuikaku.
[06:39] K
    As I said just now,
[06:41] K
    it's nothing to thank me for.
[06:45] Sh
    Secretary Ship Nagato,
    please tell the admiral to
[06:49] Sh
    let me go in Kaga's place.
[06:58] M
    Are you okay, Fubuki-chan?
[07:02] F
    Probably.
[07:03] Y
    Probably?
[07:04] F
    But, but!
[07:05] F
    They told me to be the flagship,
     I really wasn't sure if I should,
[07:09] F
    but lately I thought it seemed to
[07:11] F
    finally be going well.
[07:13] F
    And then this happens right
    before our first mission!
[07:17] F
    Of course I'm going to freak out.
[07:19] F
    I'd had this selfish idea that
[07:23] F
    even though they fight all the time,
[07:25] F
    Kaga-san and Zuikaku-san could
    someday make a great pair...
[07:31] F
    I guess it's no good, though.
    I can't be a flagship...
[07:35] Y
    I think you can.
[07:37] M
    Yeah, I do, too!
[07:39] M
    You did your best!
[07:42] M
    Both Yuudachi-chan and I know that.
[07:44] M
    I'm sure the girls in Force Five
[07:46] M
    know that way better than us.
[07:50] F
    You think so?
[07:52] Y
    That's right.
[07:53] Y
    Otherwise a group of weirdos like that
[07:56] Y
    would've all split up immediately!
[07:58] M
    Yeah!
[08:00] F
    Thank you... Mutsuki-chan, Yuudachi-chan.
[08:03] F
    It makes me so happy to have friends.
[08:06] Both
    Yeah.
[08:15] F
    Um...
[08:16] Z
    What?
[08:17] F
    Nothing. I just wondered
    what you were doing.
[08:20] Z
    I'm unharmed, thanks to
     a certain somebody's meddling.
[08:23] Z
    I'm totally fine.
[08:28] F
    Zuikak—
[08:29] O
    Attention.
[08:30] O
    Assault Force Five Flagship Fubuki,
[08:33] O
    please come to the admiral's office.
[08:40] F
    Is the commander going to
    get mad at me about Kaga-san?
[08:47] F
    But, it can't be helped.
     I'm the flagship, after all.
[08:51] F
    Flagship Fubuki, coming in!
[08:58] N
    You're goose-stepping.
[09:03] N
    Don't be so nervous.
[09:04] N
    The admiral didn't call
    you here to yell at you.
[09:08] N
    He actually tells me he thinks you're
    doing a well in leading that group.
[09:13] F
    Really?
[09:15] N
    That's why I'm going to ask you this.
[09:18] N
    He's leaving the decision
    of whether or not to use
[09:21] N
    Shoukaku instead of Kaga for
    tomorrow's mission to you.
[09:25] N
    From the way she was acting earlier, I'm
    also worried about Zuikaku's mental state.
[09:30] N
    Well? Can you do it?
[09:32] F
    Well...
[09:44] F
    We can!
[09:45] N
    Understood.
[09:47] N
    Will that be all right, Admiral?
[09:52] N
    There's one other thing I want
    to talk to you about,
[09:55] N
    now that the mission's been decided.
[09:57] F
    Yes?
[09:58] N
    Regarding tomorrow's mission... no,
[10:01] N
    all our recent encounters with the Abyssals,
[10:04] N
    the admiral has some serious concerns.
[10:08] N
    I'm only sharing this with
    you, the flagship, but...
[10:21] Y
    Third Fleet Flagship, Yuubari, heading out!
[10:30] O
    The MO support fleet has launched.
[10:33] M
    Any word from the other Naval Districts?
[10:35] O
    Yes, as planned, the main assault
    force for Operation MO includes
[10:39] O
    light carriers Shouhou, Aoba, Furutaka,
[10:42] O
    Kako, Kinugasa,
[10:44] O
    and Tenryuu Tatsuta as a support fleet.
[10:47] O
    They've already left.
[10:50] N
    Okay.
[10:52] N
    Give Assault Force Five the order to launch.
[10:55] O
    Assault Force Five,
[10:57] O
    prepare to launch!
[10:59] F
    Everybody, let's do our best!
[11:02] Z
    Shoukaku-nee, I'm sorry.
[11:04] Sh
    What are you talking about?
[11:06] Sh
    I'm really happy I get to
    do a mission with you.
[11:11] Sh
    Now that Carrier Group
    One can't leave the base,
[11:14] Sh
    we in Group Five need to do our best.
[11:18] Sh
    Okay, let's go, Zuikaku!
[11:20] Z
    Right, Shoukaku-nee!
[11:23] F
    Assault Force Five, heading out!
[11:35] A
    I'd imagine they've launched by now.
[11:39] K
    Yeah?
[11:40] K
    I wasn't really thinking about it.
[11:43] A
    It's okay. They're the girls you protected.
[11:47] A
    I'm sure they'll do just fine.
[11:50] K
    I wasn't really protecting them.
[11:54] A
    Anyway, I'm grateful to them.
[11:58] A
    It's been a long time since
[12:00] A
    I've had a chance to be with you like this.
[12:04] K
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[12:24] F
    We're almost at the Coral
    Island area, aren't we?
[12:27] O
    What a beautiful sea and sky...
[12:29] O
    It's like they're blessing the path
[12:31] O
    that Kitakami-san and I are traveling!
[12:33] K
    I hate to say it, Oicchi,
[12:36] K
    but I don't like the look of those clouds.
[12:41] O
    That stupid sky is trying to ruin our day...
[12:44] K
    Well, if I'm with you, Oicchi,
    I feel just fine even in a storm.
[12:47] O
    Kitakami-san!
[12:54] F
    Shoukaku-san, Zuikaku-san,
    can you send out recon planes?
[12:57] ---
    Huh?
[12:58] Sh
    Sure, but the mission area is further ahead...
[13:02] Sh
    We'd have to change course and go upwind.
[13:04] F
    I'll have Yuubari-san and
    the others go ahead.
[13:06] F
    It's just to be safe.
[13:08] F
    Once we know they're okay,
    we'll catch up to them at full speed.
[13:12] S
    Is that okay, Zuikaku?
[13:13] K
    It's okay.
[13:15] K
    Bucky knows what she's doing and why.
[13:19] K
    Well, that's true.
[13:20] O
    That's why we made her the flagship.
[13:22] O
    Even though Kitakami-san would be better.
[13:25] F
    You guys...
[13:26] Z
    Well, when we actually start fighting,
[13:28] Z
    she runs way too far ahead
    despite being the flagship,
[13:31] Z
    and she's actually pretty reckless.
[13:35] K
    I feel the same way.
[13:38] F
    Kongou-san!
[13:41] Z
    What's wrong, Shoukaku-nee?
[13:44] Sh
    Nothing. I'll launch some now.
[13:51] F
    Send them 35 degrees apart to the south.
[13:53] Sh
    All right.
[13:59] K
    Beautiful.
[14:00] Z
    Shoukaku-nee is so great.
[14:01] Sh
    What are you doing,
    Zuikaku? Launch yours, too.
[14:05] Sh
    Right, Fubuki-san?
[14:06] F
    Yes. A two stage recon operation, please.
[14:09] F
    I want to be certain.
[14:12] Z
    Roger.
[14:17] Z
    But, if she's having us do this
    careful of a recon mission...
[14:21] Sh
    There may be some reason.
[14:23] Sh
    Right?
[14:25] F
    I hope I'm wrong, but...
[14:29] (Flashback) F
    The Abyssals know our codes?
[14:33] (Flashback) N
    We don't have any proof.
[14:34] (Flashback) N
    But, since we suspect it,
[14:36] (Flashback) N
    we need to always proceed
    with the worst case in mind.
[14:39] (Flashback) N
    In other words...
[14:42] F
    What we need to do is
    consider the possibility that
[14:45] F
    the enemy knows what we're after
    or what our fleet is doing.
[14:50] F
    Which means, the enemy will attack...
[14:55] F
    Shouhou-san in the main MO attack force?
[14:57] F
    She's been struck by multiple enemy dive
[14:59] F
    bombers and is severely damaged and on fire?
[15:03] O
    They're continuing the attack,
[15:05] O
    but the location of the
    enemy carriers is unknown.
[15:08] O
    They must be found and
    destroyed immediately.
[15:12] Sh
    This is it, right?
[15:13] F
    Yes.
[15:15] F
    The commander predicted it.
[15:18] Z
    Shoukaku-nee, let's launch
    more recon planes!
[15:21] Z
    We need to find the enemy carriers fast!
[15:23] Sh
    Calm down, Zuikaku.
[15:24] Sh
    There's no point in sending
    out more without thinking.
[15:28] Sh
    Reconnaissance is about endurance.
[15:30] Sh
    Whoever panics first, loses.
[15:32] Z
    Shoukaku-nee...
[15:34] K
    I don't want to just sit here and wait, though.
[15:37] K
    Search and strike.
[15:39] K
    Whoever finds the other first wins, huh?
[15:41] F
    Good luck, recon planes!
[15:49] Z
    The weather's getting bad.
[15:52] Z
    The recon planes can't fly in that...
[15:54] Sh
    Message from Plane Four.
[15:56] Sh
    "I have found the enemy carrier task force!"
[15:59] Sh
    Force composition:
    One carrier. One heavy cruiser.
[16:03] Sh
    Two light cruisers.
    Two destroyers. Six in all.
[16:05] F
    Shoukaku-san! Zuikaku-san!
[16:08] Sh
    Let's go, Zuikaku.
[16:09] ---
    Yes!
[16:51] Sh
    Message from the attack squads!
[16:53] Sh
    They've moderately damaged
    one enemy carrier!
[16:55] Z
    Okay! We've got the initiative.
[16:57] Z
    Now they can't launch their planes!
[17:00] F
    Okay, let's go clean up the rest of them.
[17:04] F
    But I'd like the two carriers to keep
    heading towards the MO Abyssal base,
[17:08] F
    and catch up with
    Yuubari-san's support fleet.
[17:11] ---
    Huh?!
[17:11] Sh
    I can still fight, though!
[17:14] F
    Our target is Abyssal Base MO.
[17:18] F
    I've got a lot more work
[17:20] F
    left for you to do!
[17:22] K
    That's right!
[17:24] K
    Let us have some of the glory, too!
[17:28] Sh
    Okay!
[17:29] Sh
    But, let us at least give you some
    escorts. That's fine, isn't it?
[17:32] F
    Thanks!
[17:37] F
    Also, make sure we maintain
[17:39] F
    radio silence until we meet up again.
[17:41] F
    Okay, let's go!
[17:48] Sh
    They're back...
[17:53] Sh
    Good job. You really worked hard.
[17:57] Sh
    The squall's getting close.
[17:58] Sh
    Let's hurry before it catches up.
[18:00] Z
    Yeah.
[18:03] Z
    I wish Kaga could've seen
[18:06] Z
    our planes destroy
[18:08] Z
    an enemy carrier!
[18:11] Sh
    You're really great friends
    with Kaga-san, aren't you?
[18:14] Sh
    I'm happy, too.
[18:18] Z
    No! No! No way!
[18:21] Z
    I hate the slant-eyed, stuck up,
[18:24] Z
    arrogant girls in Carrier Group One!
[18:27] Sh
    Right, right.
[18:28] Z
    You don't believe me!
[18:31] Z
    Jeez, Shoukaku-nee!
[18:42] Z
    Shoukaku-nee!
[18:43] Z
    Why?! Where did those planes come from?!
[19:00] Z
    How dare you—
[19:03] Z
    No! I can't even launch my escorts!
[19:05] Sh
    Zuikaku!
[19:07] Sh
    Leave me and run!
[19:08] Z
    I can't do that!
[19:16] Z
    I need to contact the others...
[19:18] Z
    No, we're under radio silence,
[19:20] Z
    and I might just bring more enemies.
[19:23] Z
    If I only had a single moment
    to launch my planes...
[19:26] Z
    What do I do? What should I do?!
[19:29] (Flashback) K
    I simply bet on the small hope
[19:31] (Flashback) K
    I saw in that desperate situation.
[19:37] Z
    A small hope in
[19:40] Z
    a desperate situation...
[19:42] Z
    Shoukaku-nee, let's go inside the squall.
[19:44] Z
    They won't be able to follow us, then.
[19:46] Sh
    But, we won't be able to
    launch our planes.
[19:49] Sh
    Just use me as a decoy.
[19:51] Z
    It's okay.
[19:52] Z
    No squall lasts forever.
[19:55] Z
    It'll stop at some point.
[19:57] Z
    In that instant, we can launch our planes.
[20:00] Sh
    But, that's impossible!
[20:02] Sh
    The minute we leave the
    squall, they'll get us!
[20:05] Z
    I'm sure we'll have a chance.
[20:06] Z
    Let's believe in it, Shoukaku-nee!
[20:12] Sh
    Let's go.
[20:30] F
    We were lucky there was only one carrier.
[20:32] F
    Now the worst case scenario the
     commander was talking about won't—
[20:36] F
    The worst...
[20:37] F
    This?
[20:38] F
    If the enemy really knew all our plans...
[20:43] F
    No way!
[20:57] Z
    Shoukaku-nee!
[20:58] ---
    Yes.
[21:02] Z
    Even if it's over, I'll fight
    them to my last breath!
[21:22] Sh
    Those are...
[21:25] Z
    Shoukaku-nee!
[21:26] Sh
    Right!

    Message from Assault Force Five!
[22:32] O
    They have encountered the
     enemy at the Coral Islands!
[22:36] O
    They severely damaged one Wo-Class
    Carrier, and sunk another!
[22:39] M
    Wow!
[22:41] N
    Yeah.
[22:45] K
    They sunk and severely damaged two Wo-Class?
[22:47] A
    They did it.
[22:49] K
    Yes.
[22:50] K
    But, it's not really that surprising.
[22:55] K
    Because...
[22:59] K
    They're all very talented girls.
