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.
