SIGN    Legend of the Galactic Heroes
[01:32] Reinhard
    It shall be called...
[01:35] Reinhard
    Ragnarök.
[01:37] Na
    Reinhard decided who would take
    part in Operation: Ragnarök.
SIGN    Capital Planet Heinessen
[01:43] Na
    The conjecture that the Empire would take
    military action at the Iserlohn Corridor
[01:48] Na
    had reached as far as Heinessen.
[01:53] Soldier3
    It appears the Empire is making
    preparations to invade.
[01:56] Politician4
    They're wasting their time.
[01:58] Rockwell
    Iserlohn is impregnable.
[02:00] Politician3
    We have the great and undefeated
    Miracle Yang on our side, after all.
[02:06] Islands
    What is it, Commander-in-Chief Bewcock?
[02:10] Bewcock
    The offensive against
    Iserlohn may be a diversion
[02:12] Bewcock
    that the enemy is using while their main
    force breaches the Fezzan Corridor.
[02:17] Politician3
    The Fezzan Corridor?
[02:19] Politician2
    Commander-in-Chief Bewcock,
    your concern is certainly original,
[02:24] Politician2
    but it seems unlikely that
    Fezzan would abandon
[02:26] Politician2
    their political neutrality
    to back the Empire.
[02:29] Rockwell
    Besides, if they did that and
    made the Empire even stronger,
[02:33] Rockwell
    Fezzan's own continued existence
    would come under threat.
[02:36] Politician6
    Fezzan has invested an immense
    amount of capital in our Alliance,
[02:40] Politician6
    and they have many interests here, as well.
[02:42] Politician6
    If our Alliance were annexed
    by the Empire,
[02:45] Politician6
    all of their efforts to
    date would come to naught.
[02:49] Politician6
    I highly doubt the Fezzani would
    make such a disadvantageous choice.
[02:53] Politicians
    That's right.
[02:55] Bewcock
    Of course. It is true that Fezzan has
    invested capital in the Alliance.
[03:02] Bewcock
    But they've invested it in the
    Alliance's chief industries,
[03:06] Bewcock
    not in the Alliance government.
[03:09] Bewcock
    In their minds, so long as the safety
    of their invested capital is assured,
[03:14] Bewcock
    structural failure within the Alliance
    would amount to a mere ceiling collapse.
[03:20] Bewcock
    It would not mean significant
    suffering for them.
[03:24] Bewcock
    Or is Fezzan, in fact, investing capital
    in the Alliance government, as well?
[03:32] Politician2
    Are you suggesting that we're
    accepting bribes from Fezzan?!
[03:36] Islands
    Admiral, I suggest you watch what you say.
[03:48] Na
    The decision was made to simply
    increase vigilance around Iserlohn,
[03:53] Na
    and the conference was concluded.
[03:58] Alex
    What's the word from Heinessen?
[04:01] Yang
    An order to increase vigilance, it says.
[04:04] Murai
    The surveillance satellites we had
    put in place throughout the corridor
[04:08] Murai
    haven't been replaced after being destroyed
    in the Geiersburg Fortress assault.
[04:13] Murai
    The most we have been able to do is
    send ships out to conduct patrols.
[04:17] Alex
    We requested additional funds,
    but they haven't been granted yet.
[04:21] Dusty
    Is the National Defense
    Committee just bullying us?
[04:23] Yang
    It's not bullying at all.
[04:26] Yang
    That's just how tight money
    is in the Alliance right now.
SIGN    Episode 47
SIGN    Invitation to a Requiem
SIGN    Battleship Ulysses
[04:46] Crew1
    Did you see the captain?
[04:47] Crew2
    Looked like he was in a foul mood again.
[04:49] Crew3
    He's looked like that every day lately.
[04:52] Crew2
    I heard he had a quarrel with his wife.
[04:55] Crew4
    I heard he was cheated in a card game
    with Lieutenant Commander Poplin.
[04:57] Crew5
    No, I heard it was Rear Admiral Schönkopf.
[05:01] Fields
    Actually, the captain was incredibly
    taken with Julian Mintz.
[05:05] Fields
    But as you all know,
[05:07] Fields
    he took off for Fezzan to
    be a military attaché.
[05:11] Fields
    He's heartbroken after
    losing his one-sided love.
[05:15] Crew
    So that's why...
SIGN    Commander Nilsson
[05:17] Nilsson
    Damn it... Wisdom tooth pain at my age?
[05:22] Ulysses Operator1
    Optical confirmed.
[05:24] Ulysses Operator1
    No ID code.
[05:25] Nilsson
    Is it the enemy?
[05:27] Nilsson
    Use the emergency frequency to contact them.
[05:29] Ulysses Operator2
    Yes, sir.
[05:34] Nilsson
    Stop at once.
[05:36] Nilsson
    If you refuse, we will atta—
[05:53] Fields
    What do we do? Should we fight them?
[05:56] Nilsson
    You fool! The Iserlohn garrison
    fleet is undefeated!
[05:59] Nilsson
    And do you know why?
[06:03] Nilsson
    Because we don't fight
    enemies we can't beat!
[06:06] Nilsson
    Get us out of here at once! No dawdling!
[06:10] Bergengrün
    Should we pursue?
[06:11] Oskar
    Let them go.
[06:13] Oskar
    We need them to make the most
    dramatic report possible.
[06:20] Alex
    Their numbers were immense
    when Admiral Kempff attacked,
[06:23] Alex
    but this might surpass even that.
[06:26] Fyodor
    The report from Ulysses said the
    battleship Tristan was there.
[06:31] Dusty
    So one of the Twin Pillars
    has shown up, huh?
[06:34] Frederica
    Do you think this is part of
    Duke Lohengramm's large-scale operation?
[06:40] Yang
    Probably.
[06:42] Yang
    To battle stations, condition one.
[06:51] Yang
    The real headache isn't the
    enemies in front of us.
[06:55] Yang
    It's the allies behind us.
[06:57] Yang
    The high officials in Heinessen aren't
    yet aware of the danger we're in.
[07:02] Yang
    If the Imperial Navy violates the Fezzan
    Corridor's neutrality by invading through it,
[07:06] Yang
    they might ignore what's happening here
    and order us to save the capital.
[07:13] Yang
    And if they do, we'll have
    no choice but to go,
[07:17] Yang
    but we're facing High Admiral Oskar von
    Reuenthal, one of the Empire's Twin Pillars.
[07:22] Yang
    If we make one wrong move, he could
    take back the Iserlohn Corridor.
[07:29] Yang
    Send Heinessen a report on the enemy attack,
[07:32] Yang
    and tell them that it's probably tied
[07:34] Yang
    to Duke Lohengramm's plan
    to attack the Fezzan Corridor,
[07:39] Yang
    so they should reinforce
    defenses around Fezzan.
[07:42] Frederica
    Yes, sir.
[07:43] Yang
    Just in case, that is.
[07:46] Yang
    I'm sure Commander-in-Chief Bewcock
    is fighting his hardest alone.
[07:50] Yang
    It's the least we can do to back him up.
[07:59] OperatorC
    The enemy fleet has expanded
    over a broad range.
[08:02] Murai
    They're outside the Thor Hammer's range?
[08:04] Fyodor
    But their main artillery
    can't reach us, either.
[08:24] Oskar
    Feuer!
[08:32] OperatorC
    Optical detection of long-range
    missiles confirmed!
[08:35] Yang
    Withdraw the floating batteries.
[08:38] Murai
    If we sink the floating batteries,
    we'll take no damage.
[08:41] Murai
    What do you suppose they're planning?
[08:46] Oskar
    Lutz Fleet, forward!
[08:49] Lutz
    All ships, advance!
[08:54] OperatorC
    The enemy fleet has begun to advance!
[08:57] Yang
    Intercept them with the Thor Hammer.
[08:59] OperatorA
    Thor Hammer activated.
[09:01] OperatorA
    Preparing to fire.
[09:05] OperatorA
    Energy charge in progress.
[09:10] OperatorA
    Charge complete in ten...
[09:12] OperatorA
    nine...
[09:13] OperatorA
    eight...
[09:14] OperatorA
    seven...
[09:14] OperatorC
    Wait a moment!
[09:16] OperatorC
    Look at this!
[09:19] OperatorC
    According to trajectory analysis,
[09:20] OperatorC
    all of the enemy's long-range missiles are
    on course to strike the Thor Hammer's muzzle!
[09:25] Fyodor
    The Thor Hammer's muzzle?!
[09:29] Yang
    The enemy plans to enter our firing range as
    soon as their missiles hit the Thor Hammer.
[09:36] Yang
    They're targeting the exact moment before
    it fires, when it's most vulnerable.
[09:44] Frederica
    They planned out the timing
    in that much detail?
[09:47] Yang
    Call off the Thor Hammer.
[09:50] Yang
    Have the garrison fleet intercept them.
[09:53] Yang
    Contact Admirals Attenborough and Fischer.
[10:26] Herðubreið Operator
    A fleet has been deployed
    from Iserlohn Fortress.
[10:29] Lutz
    All ships, advance at full speed!
[10:37] OperatorC
    Enemy fleet approaching at high speed!
[10:40] Yang
    Shit!
[10:41] Garrison Fleet Operator
    Enemy ships advancing!
    They're not losing speed!
[10:44] Captain
    Evade! Evasive maneuvers!
[11:01] Lao
    It's a melee!
[11:03] Dusty
    They actually got us.
[11:05] Fyodor
    Even if we wanted to back up our allies,
    we can't attack through this!
[11:13] Na
    Reuenthal's goal was to
    create a melee situation
[11:17] Na
    and drag the Iserlohn garrison
    fleet into a battle of attrition,
[11:20] Na
    then annihilate it.
[11:24] Na
    Reuenthal, with his greater numbers,
    would come out victorious in the end.
[11:29] Na
    He did indeed put everything
    on the line in this campaign.
[11:34] Murai
    I can't believe it...
[11:37] Yang
    But we still have a weapon that they don't.
[11:47] Oskar
    What will Yang Wen-li do now?
[11:51] Tristan Operator1
    A new fleet has been deployed from Iserlohn.
[11:56] Tristan Operator1
    Flagship Hyperion confirmed!
[12:08] Bergengrün
    Hyperion? That's the ship
    Yang Wen-li commands!
[12:12] Oskar
    I heard he was resourceful,
[12:14] Oskar
    but I see he's a surprisingly
    courageous leader, as well.
[12:20] Oskar
    All ships, forward! Full speed!
[12:53] Fire Control Operator
    Hyperion is within effective firing range.
[12:57] Oskar
    Fire all artillery!
[13:22] Oskar
    What was that?!
SIGN    Blumhardt! Stolz! Can you hear me?
[13:47] Blumhardt/Stolz
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    You two come with me.
SIGN    Linz, lead the main force!
[13:52] Linz
    Yes, sir!
[14:00] Fire Control Operator
    The enemy's landing force
    has boarded the ship!
[14:03] Fire Control Operator
    They're breaching sector E5 via deck 15!
[14:06] Reckendorf
    Sector E5?!
[14:08] Reckendorf
    They're targeting the reactor!
[14:10] Oskar
    Close the bulkhead!
[14:11] Oskar
    Permission granted to arm the guards!
[14:13] Bergengrün
    I can't believe they chose
    close-quarters combat at this stage.
[14:18] Oskar
    I thought it seemed ostentatious of them
    to send a flagship to the front line...
[14:24] Oskar
    So this is what you were up to, Yang Wen-li.
[14:28] Murai
    Looks like it worked out.
[14:30] Yang
    If you want to trip up a first-rate
    opponent like Reuenthal,
[14:34] Yang
    it's actually these second-rate
    tactics that work best.
[14:43] Linz
    Turn back!
[14:50] ArmoredA
    The route to the reactor
    has been closed off.
[14:52] Linz
    Look for another way.
[14:54] Linz
    We still need to keep their attention on us.
[15:10] Bergengrün
    The route to the reactor has
    been completely blocked.
[15:13] Bergengrün
    As soon as all personnel have been evacuated,
    the entire sector will be purged.
[15:18] Oskar
    Is it really the reactor they're after?
[15:21] Bergengrün
    Huh?
[15:23] Oskar
    If their objective is to
    stop the ship from moving,
[15:26] Oskar
    they could just destroy
    everything in their path.
[15:28] Oskar
    So why aren't they doing that?
[15:36] Oskar
    Is it me they're after?
[15:39] Oskar
    Get me a weapon! Now!
[15:41] Bergengrün
    Yes, sir!
[15:47] Bergengrün
    Your Excellency!
SIGN    Admiral Reuenthal, I presume.
[16:00] Oskar
    That's right. And you're
    a dog of the Alliance.
SIGN    I'm Walter von Schönkopf, thirteenth regimental commander of the Rosen Ritter.
SIGN    Remember that for the brief time you have left before you die.
[16:43] Tristan Operator1
    Don't! You'll hit His Excellency!
[17:22] Imperial Soldier
    Your Excellency!
SIGN    Pull out!
[17:36] Bergengrün
    Your Excellency! Are you all right?
[17:39] Oskar
    So they're the Rosen Ritter
    I've heard so much about?
[17:42] Bergengrün
    It seems so.
[17:44] Oskar
    Halt all combat and withdraw.
[17:47] Oskar
    I can't believe I forgot myself and let
    the enemy drag me into their game.
[17:52] Oskar
    Allowing their landing force to board
    this flagship was utter foolishness.
[17:56] Bergengrün
    I'm very sorry, sir.
[17:58] Oskar
    This isn't your fault.
[18:01] Oskar
    I got too heated.
[18:04] Oskar
    I'll be back after I've
    cooled my head a bit.
[18:09] Na
    An opening was created in the
    Imperial Fleet's command.
[18:12] Na
    Yang took advantage of this to
    withdraw the garrison fleet
[18:15] Na
    and hold them within the fortress.
[18:18] Na
    The opening fleet battle
    thus ended in a draw.
SIGN    I was so close I could taste it,
SIGN    but the big fish got away from me.
SIGN    But we did succeed in breaching their flagship,
SIGN    so I guess that's worth more than zero points, at least.
[18:39] Yang
    Shame it turned out that way.
SIGN    Of course, they might be thinking the same thing right now.
SIGN    He was pretty skilled,
SIGN    and he repeatedly evaded my attacks.
[18:51] Yang
    I guess this means we failed
    to change history, huh?
SIGN    Anyway, the battle's basically fortress versus fleet now,
SIGN    but do you think we can win when it's fleet versus fleet?
[19:06] Yang
    I don't know.
[19:07] Yang
    Kempff, the one we fought last time,
[19:09] Yang
    was probably less flexible
    tactically than Reuenthal.
[19:12] Yang
    But we still just barely
    managed to beat him.
[19:16] Yang
    Who knows where fate will leave us now?
SIGN    Don't disappoint me like that!
SIGN    I know I've said this before,
SIGN    but I believe you're capable of defeating Reinhard von Lohengramm.
SIGN    What good is that if you can't defeat his underling?
[19:31] Yang
    You're free to think whatever you want,
[19:33] Yang
    but there's no guarantee that subjective
    faith will produce an objective result.
[19:40] Na
    After that, the Imperial Navy kept
    its distance from Iserlohn Fortress,
[19:45] Na
    and the battle fell into a stalemate.
[19:49] Poplin
    Damn it!
[19:51] Poplin
    Just when I thought they came here to
    do recon, they immediately pulled out!
[19:55] Konev
    I think they're just playing around.
[19:58] Poplin
    I prefer people who just play around in
    battle over people who take it seriously!
[20:04] Konev
    It's not your preferences
    I have a problem with.
[20:07] Konev
    I'm concerned about what they're planning.
[20:10] Poplin
    I get that, but whatever it
    is you're worried about,
[20:15] Poplin
    you know the commander's
    already thought of it.
[20:19] Na
    Poplin was exactly right.
[20:21] Na
    Yang had already dealt with every
    aspect of Reuenthal's attack
[20:25] Na
    and taken appropriate measures.
[20:28] Na
    However, he did so not with the
    creative methods of an artist,
[20:33] Na
    but with the intentions of a career worker
    doing nothing but the job entrusted to him.
[20:42] Na
    Yang was clearly lacking much of his
    fire and vitality during this time.
[20:54] Yang
    They're good leaves, but the hot water
    was poured on them at the wrong time.
[21:00] Yang
    I know that. I know, but...
[21:06] Yang
    That's right... I know.
[21:09] Yang
    I know what the Imperial
    Navy's really after, too.
[21:12] Yang
    Just like with the coup d'état before.
[21:15] Yang
    But what good does just knowing do?
[21:19] Yang
    Whatever happens to the Free Planets
    Alliance now has nothing to do with me.
[21:24] Julian
    Nothing good comes of being all depressed.
[21:34] Yang
    I knew it.
[21:36] Yang
    I shouldn't have let you go.
[21:40] Yang
    That's right. This isn't
    the time to be depressed.
[21:43] Yang
    The other side is about to make their move.
[21:52] Oskar
    It's just about time.
SIGN    Galactic Empire Capital Planet Odin
[21:56] Na
    High Admiral Reuenthal
[21:58] Na
    complained to the capital about
    Iserlohn Fortress's defenses and resistance
[22:04] Na
    in an appeal to Fleet Admiral
    Lohengramm for reinforcements.
[22:10] Citizen1
    Looks like they're sending
    reinforcements to Iserlohn.
[22:13] Citizen2
    It's hard to believe Admiral
    Reuenthal is struggling so much.
[22:19] Na
    Reinhard expressed his regret
    over Reuenthal's struggle,
[22:24] Na
    and reached out to the Imperial Navy's
    highest-ranking staff officers
[22:28] Na
    with the goal of conquering
    Iserlohn once and for all.
[22:33] Reinhard
    You will head to the
    Iserlohn Corridor as quickly as possible
[22:37] Reinhard
    and fulfill your duties there.
[22:39] Reinhard
    If you find yourselves in need of more men,
[22:42] Reinhard
    I will leave the capital myself
    and join your formation.
[22:48] Wolfgang
    Understood. We will do all we can.
[22:56] Na
    The admirals knew that the proper nouns
    Reinhard used in his order were false.
[23:03] Na
    The corridor they were heading for
[23:06] Na
    had a name and location that
    differed from Iserlohn's.
[23:13] Hilde
    It's begun.
[23:15] Reinhard
    Yes. This is the beginning
    of the end, Fräulein.
