[01:35] Abe
    Main batteries, do not ease up on that fire!
SIGN    Inheritance
[01:43] Takeru
    Damn it, we're so close!
[01:48] Kashiwagi
    I've got a Code 991!
[01:51] Kashiwagi
    Captain, the BETA are surfacing
    from underground!
[01:54] Haruka
    Brigade-sized herd has appeared
    in the south of Mano Bay!
[01:56] Haruka
    And a corps-size herd of BETA
    has appeared in the vicinity of the XG-70!
[02:00] Haruka
    A-01 Squadron's exfiltration
    route has been cut off.
[02:04] Ozawa
    This is madness... just how many BETA
    were there inside the Sadogashima Hive?!
[02:09] Pyatkh
    BETA have made contact with the XG-70!
[02:11] Pyatkh
    Kashiwagi has engaged them!
[02:13] Kashiwagi
    Enemy forces are comprised of
    Destroyers, Tanks, Grapplers...
[02:17] Kashiwagi
    No sign of Laser-Class.
[02:20] Yuuko
    Isumi...
[02:22] Yuuko
    There's a brigade-sized herd
    in the south of Mano Bay.
[02:25] Yuuko
    Time's up. You've got to clear out.
[02:28] Isumi
    What about the 00-Unit?
[02:30] Yuuko
    They were blocked right before
    reaching the coast.
[02:33] Isumi
    The BETA headed toward the Susano-O
    when it briefly reactivated, right?
[02:37] Yuuko
    Yes, that's right.
[02:39] Isumi
    Understood...
[02:41] Isumi
    I'm going to do what it takes to
    make sure our main objective is fulfilled.
[02:45] Kashiwagi
    Captain, a ton of BETA are
    headed right for you!
[02:48] Kashiwagi
    You need to get out!
[02:49] Isumi
    I'm begging you, Kashiwagi.
    I need five minutes.
[02:52] Isumi
    Five will be enough,
    but I need you to keep them busy.
[02:54] Kashiwagi
    Bet you're glad I came back now, huh?
[02:57] Isumi
    Damn right I am. I owe you.
[03:01] Kashiwagi
    I say that, but with these numbers...
    that's asking a lot.
[03:09] Yuuko
    Shirogane...
[03:10] Yuuko
    You'll have an out in five minutes.
[03:13] Yuuko
    Move out at top speed
    as soon as you notice a change.
[03:16] Yuuko
    Rendezvous with the recovery fleet.
[03:19] Takeru
    What kind of change?
[03:20] Yuuko
    You'll know.
[03:25] Abe
    Damage report!
[03:26] Operators
    Starboard anti-air crew have been wiped out!
[03:28] Operators
    Turret three has been hit, but no losses.
[03:30] Operators
    A fire has broken out on the flight deck!
[03:32] Ozora Operator
    Engines are fully functional!
[03:33] Abe
    Five more minutes! I don't care if every
    ship in the fleet is hobbled as a result.
[03:37] Abe
    We will obliterate the BETA on the south end
    of the bay by any means necessary!
[03:41] Gunnery Chief
    Main cannons and third AA section,
    you may target and fire at will.
[03:45] Ootsuka Operator
    The Mino's bridge took a direct hit!
    Comms are down!
[03:48] Ootsuka Operator
    They're maintaining their rate of fire!
[03:50] Ishikawa Operator
    Primary starboard defense compartment
    has exceeded armor damage threshold!
[03:55] Ootsuka
    The Shinano is currently 15% flooded!
[03:57] Ootsuka
    The Kaga's anti-Laser-Class systems
    are damaged across the board,
[04:00] Ootsuka
    but both ships are capable
    of continuing battle!
[04:02] Abe
    Good. Very good!
[04:06] Abe
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is where
    the battle really starts!
[04:08] Abe
    Our engines and guns are both
    fully operable! We are still good to go!
[04:15] Yuuko
    Come on...
[04:24] Kashiwagi
    Sorry about that, Captain!
    Some Destroyer-Class got past me!
[04:29] Isumi
    Understood! Two more minutes,
    and I'll be able to manage!
[04:34] Kashiwagi
    There are just too damn many!
[04:41] Kashiwagi
    Fort-Class?!
[04:43] Kashiwagi
    Captain, hurry!
[04:44] Isumi
    Sixty more seconds...
[04:46] Isumi
    That should do it!
[04:51] Isumi
    Everything's set!
[04:52] Isumi
    Get ready to clear out!
[04:57] Isumi
    Kashiwagi, I'm done here,
[04:59] Isumi
    I'm—to make—escape—
[05:03] Isumi
    Respond! Do you read me, Kashiwagi?!
[05:18] Isumi
    Talk to me, Kashiwagi! Can you hear my voice?!
[05:19] Kashiwagi
    Captain... Just hang on...
[05:22] Isumi
    Kashiwagi?! Give me a sitrep!
[05:24] Kashiwagi
    There are more coming...
[05:37] Haruka
    Lieutenant Kashiwagi's vitals
    have all flatlined.
[05:41] Yuuko
    Resuscitative measures! Defibrillate her!
[05:44] Haruka
    Her Fortified Suit's signal is gone, ma'am.
[05:47] Haruka
    It's likely she...
[05:49] Yuuko
    I see... Have Kashiwagi marked as KIA.
[05:54] Haruka
    Yes, ma'am.
[05:58] Isumi
    Again. I let one of my
    soldiers die, again...
[06:05] Ozawa
    XO, I propose we reroute the 999th Penal
    Battalion to assist in the Captain's escape.
[06:10] Isumi
    Please, no, Admiral Ozawa.
[06:13] Isumi
    My means of escape has already been totaled.
[06:15] Ozawa
    Don't be ridiculous, Captain!
[06:17] Ozawa
    You are the commander of A-01,
    a task force with a special mission!
[06:21] Ozawa
    Don't think you're
    getting out of it that easily!
[06:23] Isumi
    I'm fully aware, sir.
[06:25] Isumi
    But as A-01's commander,
    there's something I need to attend to.
[06:30] Yuuko
    Isumi, given the circumstances...
    you know what to do.
[06:34] Isumi
    Yes, ma'am.
[06:36] Isumi
    Admiral. The outcome of this operation...
[06:38] Isumi
    cannot be allowed to hinder
    Alternative IV at any cost.
[06:45] Isumi
    At this rate, the Sadogashima Hive
    will not be fully destroyed,
[06:49] Isumi
    and there's a good chance its BETA
    will begin an advance on the mainland.
[06:53] Isumi
    I'm going to re-engage the
    Moorcock-Lechte Drive at once.
[06:57] Yuuko
    Admiral. Once the Moorcock-Lechte
    Drive has been activated,
[07:01] Yuuko
    all of the BETA on the island
    will be drawn towards the XG-70.
[07:05] Yuuko
    When that happens,
    we'll be able to retrieve the 00-Unit.
[07:09] Pyatkh
    I've confirmed the XG-70's
    primary systems are back online!
[07:11] Pyatkh
    Kaluza-Klein Echo is intensifying!
[07:14] Suyama
    The BETA in the south of Mano Bay,
    as well as across the entire island,
[07:16] Suyama
    are headed towards the XG-70!
[07:24] Takeru
    Is this it?
[07:25] Hayase
    Time to go. Hurry!
[07:30] Yuuko
    She's going to attract all of the enemy,
    and then sacrifice herself.
[07:33] Yuuko
    No, she'll be taking
    all of Sadogashima with her.
[07:37] Yuuko
    That is Isumi's plan, sir.
[07:39] Ozawa
    Captain Isumi is your
    most trusted subordinate...
[07:42] Ozawa
    You could even say she's been
    the key to execution of the fourth plan.
[07:46] Ozawa
    You're certain about this?
[07:48] Yuuko
    Whether I'm certain or not doesn't matter.
[07:50] Yuuko
    This is the most effective,
    and best possible choice.
[07:54] Yuuko
    Brought about by those
    chosen to serve as part of A-01...
[07:58] Yuuko
    The future that contains
    the greatest potential.
[08:03] Ozawa
    A future with the greatest potential?
[08:06] Yuuko
    Never mind.
    Just something that was on my mind.
[08:10] Yuuko
    Admiral, there's one thing
    I'd like to ask of you.
SIGN    Fleet Flagship Heavy Cruiser Mogami
[08:14] Pyatkh
    All remaining Whiskey and Echo forces have
    been confirmed as having boarded the fleet.
[08:17] Pyatkh
    Carriers, set course for minimum
    safe distance immediately.
SIGN    Mogami Infirmary
[08:36] Takeru
    I've connected the 00-Unit to her
    maintenance hardware, as ordered.
[08:40] Yuuko
    I appreciate it. You've done good work today.
[08:44] Yuuko
    Our big worries are systems failure
    and loss of her original data...
[08:48] Yuuko
    And there's no sign of anything that severe.
[08:50] Takeru
    What a relief...
[08:52] Yuuko
    But there's not much more
    we can do out here.
[08:55] Yuuko
    Once the effects from the
    XG-70's explosion have died down,
[08:58] Yuuko
    you'll fly her back to the base.
[09:01] Yuuko
    The roads will be down thanks to
    the accompanying tsunami,
[09:03] Yuuko
    and no one is going to be
    sailing anywhere for a while.
[09:05] Yuuko
    But the sky will be safe with
     the Sadogashima Hive gone.
[09:10] Takeru
    Understood.
[09:11] Takeru
    I guess we couldn't get the
    auto-pilot to engage, huh?
[09:14] Takeru
    How's the detonation going?
[09:16] Yuuko
    It's looking good.
[09:17] Yuuko
    We're just waiting for the ships
    with Echo and Whiskey to get clear.
[09:22] Takeru
    I see. Then are the captain and
    Kashiwagi headed this way?
[09:26] Yuuko
    No.
[09:27] Yuuko
    Isumi's still inside the XG-70.
    Kashiwagi's dead.
[09:33] Takeru
    She is?! Why—
[09:34] Yuuko
    Because we're at war.
    Hundreds of people died today.
[09:38] Takeru
    No! That's not what I was asking—
[09:40] Haruka
    Stop it, Lieutenant.
[09:42] Haruka
    A corps-sized herd of BETA
    surfaced near the XG-70.
[09:48] Haruka
    And they would've likely made
    for the mainland if nothing was done.
[09:52] Haruka
    In order to prevent that, and
     save as many lives as possible...
[09:57] Haruka
    Captain Isumi decided to destroy Sadogashima.
[10:01] Takeru
    She did?
[10:02] Yuuko
    It's not just the lives she's saving.
[10:05] Yuuko
    Isumi is keeping Alternative IV
    afloat with her sacrifice.
[10:08] Yuuko
    Regardless of what caused
    the XG-70 to malfunction,
[10:11] Yuuko
    if the mission had ended any other way...
    we would've been in a dire position.
[10:19] Suyama
    The 2nd Squadron has left Mano Bay!
[10:21] Suyama
    Severely damaged, but still intact!
[10:29] Isumi
    Kashiwagi, your death will not be in vain!
[10:49] Isumi
    Kashiwagi...
[10:51] Isumi
    I just keep making mistakes.
[10:55] Isumi
    But in the end, I'm able to keep hope alive.
[10:59] Yuuko
    Isumi, the 00-Unit's been
    successfully recovered.
[11:02] Yuuko
    Echo Fleet's made it
    to minimum safe distance.
[11:06] Yuuko
    Whiskey will be clear in ten minutes, too.
[11:08] Yuuko
    Go ahead and get started.
[11:10] Isumi
    Roger that.
[11:12] Yuuko
    That said, it's not like you have
    much to actually do.
[11:16] Isumi
    You've got a point there.
[11:18] Isumi
    All I need to do is disengage
    the remaining fail-safes.
[11:21] Yuuko
    Your last ten minutes alive...
[11:23] Yuuko
    If it won't get in the way,
    I can put you through to your squad.
[11:28] Yuuko
    OPSEC means I can't put you
    in contact with anyone else, but...
[11:32] Isumi
    Ma'am... personal communications
     like that are...
[11:35] Yuuko
    Admiral Ozawa and the other
    commanding officers were pretty insistent.
[11:39] Yuuko
    Enough that, despite everything else going on,
    they were willing to run a wired connection
[11:44] Yuuko
    between the Mogami and
    the Kunisaki where the others are.
SIGN    Heavy Cruiser Mogami Admiral Ozawa
[11:47] Yuuko
    All so you could say anything
    that needs to be said.
SIGN    Battleship Musashi Commander Iguchi
[11:50] Yuuko
    As soldiers, Japanese citizens,
[11:53] Yuuko
    and members of the human race,
SIGN    Battleship Yamato Commander Tadokoro
[11:55] Yuuko
    they wanted to show their
    gratitude to you, however they could.
SIGN    Battleship Shinano Commander Abe
[11:59] Isumi
    That's... I haven't done anything
    to deserve that kind of gratitude.
[12:02] Yuuko
    Look, they already set it all up.
    You should humor them and use it.
[12:07] Yuuko
    One other thing you should probably know...
[12:10] Yuuko
    Second Lieutenant Isumi Akira with the IJA's
    133rd Regiment has been confirmed alive.
[12:16] Yuuko
    She's not injured, either.
[12:19] Isumi
    I see...
[12:22] Isumi
    Thank you, ma'am.
[12:24] Yuuko
    I'm not sure why you're thanking me.
[12:26] Isumi
    To everyone who arranged this for me,
[12:29] Isumi
    in spite of the dire situation,
    let them know...
[12:33] Yuuko
    I know.
[12:35] Isumi
    XO...
[12:36] Yuuko
    What is it?
[12:37] Isumi
    It's been a honor.
[12:39] Isumi
    These two years have seemed like an
    eternity at times, and like a flash at others.
[12:42] Isumi
    Being able to contribute to
    humanity's future, under your command...
[12:46] Isumi
    is an honor that I will
    always be grateful for.
[12:50] Yuuko
    Come on, cut it out.
[12:53] Isumi
    My life likely wouldn't have
    amounted to anything special...
[12:57] Isumi
    But now it has special meaning and value.
[13:01] Yuuko
    Meaning and value you can never
    share with anyone else.
[13:06] Isumi
    I regret not being able to see
    the completion of the fourth plan,
[13:10] Isumi
    as well as humanity's victory, in person.
[13:13] Isumi
    But I'm going on ahead.
[13:17] Yuuko
    Well, I'm headed for hell,
    so I doubt I'll ever see you again.
[13:21] Yuuko
    Give Marimo my regards.
[13:23] Isumi
    I'm sorry, ma'am,
[13:25] Isumi
    but I won't be able to deliver that message.
[13:28] Isumi
    I'm bound for hell myself.
[13:32] Yuuko
    Well, I hope you'll show me around
    when I get there.
[13:35] Yuuko
    Since I'm headed for the lowest level,
[13:38] Yuuko
    you handle all the tedious
    arrangements for me.
[13:40] Isumi
    Consider it done. I'll clean the floor with
    the king of hell and his demons for you.
[13:48] Isumi
    Suzumiya...
[13:50] Isumi
    Don't ever underestimate the
    amount of security you give the squad.
[13:55] Isumi
    Take good care of them.
[13:56] Haruka
    Yes, ma'am.
[13:57] Yuuko
    Shirogane, no one's monitoring the line,
    so you're free to say whatever.
[14:02] Yuuko
    When Isumi gives the signal, it's going to
    connect to Hayase and the others.
[14:06] Takeru
    Yes, ma'am.
[14:07] Yuuko
    We'll give you some privacy. Take your time.
[14:14] Isumi
    Shirogane, I hear the 00-Unit is safe.
[14:18] Isumi
    Well done.
[14:19] Takeru
    Thank you, ma'am.
[14:21] Takeru
    Um... are you... okay?
[14:25] Isumi
    Yeah. I've got this thing running again.
[14:28] Isumi
    The Rutherford field's keeping me safe.
[14:31] Takeru
    Well...
[14:33] Takeru
    I'm glad your sister's okay.
[14:35] Isumi
    Thank you.
[14:36] Isumi
    But I have to admit, I'm kind of
    shocked the XO arranged all this.
[14:41] Takeru
    Yuuko-sensei?
    But she said it was the Imperials who...
[14:45] Isumi
    Come on, man. If she hadn't revealed who I was,
[14:50] Isumi
    they wouldn't have known
    to check on my sister, would they?
[14:54] Isumi
    The XO's consideration,
    and the Imperials' compassion...
[14:58] Isumi
    To be honest, I'm really grateful.
[15:01] Isumi
    But that's selfish of me.
[15:03] Takeru
    They're doing it because you
    fought for the human race!
[15:07] Isumi
    I've gotten so many of
     my subordinates killed,
[15:10] Isumi
    and been involved
    with the death of so many others...
[15:13] Isumi
    Getting to die in a place like this
    is enough of a reward.
[15:17] Takeru
    That's... Captain,
    you've done an amazing job!
[15:20] Takeru
    You're sacrificing your life
    to save so many other people!
[15:25] Isumi
    It's not like that, Shirogane.
[15:27] Isumi
    Deep down, I'm nowhere near
    as admirable as you think.
[15:33] Isumi
    Right now, the thing I feel
    most strongly about...
[15:37] Isumi
    It's not about all the lives I'll be saving
    as a result of my actions,
[15:40] Isumi
    or humanity's future.
[15:42] Isumi
    It's not even about Kashiwagi,
    or Sergeant Jinguuji, who I got killed...
[15:49] Isumi
    But my sister being alive.
[15:51] Isumi
    And the fact I'll never see
    my parents or sisters...
[15:55] Isumi
    Or the guy I told you about...
[15:58] Isumi
    My personal business is the
    only thing in my head right now.
[16:03] Takeru
    What exactly is wrong with that?!
[16:05] Takeru
    You've worked so hard for the
    Alternative plan this entire time!
[16:10] Isumi
    Shirogane...
[16:11] Takeru
    Kashiwagi was the same way!
[16:14] Takeru
    And Sergeant Jinguuji, she fulfilled
    her duty until her dying breath!
[16:19] Takeru
    You've all made such a big mark on all of us!
SIGN    Ocean's Surface TSF Carriers
[16:24] Takeru
    Who cares how it happened?!
    You're still saving a ton of people's lives!
[16:30] Takeru
    Using your last moments alive to think
    about the one you love or your family...
[16:35] Takeru
    Is that really such a crime?!
[16:37] Takeru
    I don't care what anyone else says!
    I respect you, Captain!
[16:41] Takeru
    And I think what you're doing is incredible!
[16:46] Isumi
    Shirogane, take good care of the squad, okay?
[16:51] Isumi
    And share that strength with them.
[16:54] Takeru
    I'm not strong at all, ma'am.
[16:58] Isumi
    Shirogane, you're plenty strong.
[17:01] Isumi
    And after today, your reasoning for fighting...
    Your philosophy about the war...
[17:05] Isumi
    And why you feel special...
[17:08] Isumi
    I think I understand it all.
[17:10] Isumi
    The 00-Unit candidate
    is your girlfriend, isn't she?
[17:14] Takeru
    Captain... you knew?
[17:16] Isumi
    No.
[17:17] Isumi
    But when you called her name
    and picked her up, I understood.
[17:21] Isumi
    I heard the name "Sumika" yesterday, after all.
[17:25] Isumi
    And it was easy to tell from
    how you acted toward her.
[17:28] Isumi
    That occasional naïveté of yours...
[17:30] Isumi
    No... that kindness is something
    I've never encountered in anyone else.
[17:36] Isumi
    Not only that, but you have
    talent as a pilot, as well.
[17:39] Isumi
    You may end up being humanity's savior.
[17:44] Takeru
    Me, a savior?
[17:46] Isumi
    Well, you sure didn't look like
    a rookie out there today.
[17:50] Takeru
    That's because of the
    hypnotherapy you gave me, Captain.
[17:56] Isumi
    Oh, don't worry about that. I just had you
    run through some relaxation exercises.
[18:00] Isumi
    Which means you should have
    nothing else to fear, right?
[18:04] Takeru
    Yes... thank you, ma'am.
[18:07] Isumi
    All right...
[18:08] Isumi
    It's time to say goodbye to the others.
[18:16] Isumi
    Humanity's in your hands.
[18:18] Takeru
    I swear...
SIGN    Shirogane Takeru
    — Kamiki Koichi —
[18:21] Takeru
    I swear I'll protect it!
[18:25] Isumi
    Goodbye, Shirogane.
[18:29] Takeru
    G-Goodbye...
[18:33] Takeru
    Captain!
[18:38] Isumi
    This is Isumi.
[18:40] Isumi
    The missions have all been hell,
[18:42] Isumi
    but you've all done excellent work
    making it through and following my orders.
[18:46] Isumi
    You are the greatest pilots
    I've ever known, and my pride and joy.
[18:50] Isumi
    It kills me to have to leave you
    with the mission unfulfilled,
[18:54] Isumi
    but I know that things will be in good hands.
[18:57] Isumi
    I'm confident that you'll be able to dedicate
    yourselves even further to mankind's victory
[19:02] Isumi
    and Alternative IV's
    completion once I'm gone.
[19:06] Isumi
    Hayase, you're in command of
    the squad now. Take good care of them.
[19:10] Isumi
    Don't ride them too hard, either.
SIGN    Mitsuki Hayase
    —Yamamura Hibiki —
[19:12] Hayase
    Yes, ma'am! You can leave it to me.
[19:15] Isumi
    Munakata.
[19:16] Isumi
    You'll be supporting Hayase as her second.
[19:19] Isumi
    That cool head of yours will be
    a resource she can depend on.
[19:23] Munakata
    Understood, ma'am!
SIGN    Munakata Misae
    —Yamaki Anna—
[19:24] Munakata
    It's an honor to have
    served under you, Captain.
[19:28] Isumi
    Kazama.
[19:29] Isumi
    You need to mediate between Kazama and
    Munakata, as well as keep the rookies in line.
[19:34] Isumi
    That sweet nature of yours is
    what keeps the squad running smoothly.
SIGN    Kazama Touko
    —Waki Azumi —
[19:37] Kazama
    Yes, ma'am! It's been an honor.
[19:40] Isumi
    Suzumiya.
[19:41] Isumi
    You're as capable a pilot as anyone.
[19:45] Isumi
    But don't try and do everything by yourself.
SIGN    Suzumiya Akane
    — Ito Ayasa —
[19:48] Akane
    Yes, ma'am! Thank you!
[19:56] Isumi
    Mitsurugi.
[19:57] Isumi
    You know, I happen to have
    a really incredible sister...
[20:01] Isumi
    It honestly gave me a complex,
    and I kept my distance as a result.
[20:06] Isumi
    But... when I realized
    it was okay to just be myself,
[20:09] Isumi
    I was finally able to face her in earnest.
[20:13] Isumi
    Look after yourself.
[20:16] Isumi
    And Usuki...
[20:18] Isumi
    We swore to retake your homeland.
    I'm sorry that won't be happening.
[20:23] Isumi
    I want you to live for your own future,
    and no one else's, from now on.
[20:29] Sakura
    Captain...
SIGN    Usuki Sakura
    — Isekaijoucho —
[20:31] Sakura
    Thank you for everything.
SIGN    Isumi Michiru
    — Taichi Yo —
[20:50] Isumi
    It's done.
[20:54] Isumi
    Sergeant Jinguuji...
    for keeping humanity's best hope...
[20:57] Isumi
    For keeping him alive... thank you.
[21:02] Isumi
    Do you think... I left anything for them?
[21:07] Susano-O
    Critical reaction in:
[21:09] Susano-O
    Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven...
[21:14] Susano-O
    Six... Five... Four...
[21:16] Isumi
    I wish I could've seen it one last time.
[21:18] Susano-O
    Three... Two... One.
[21:56] Isumi
    At the base... out in front, where...
[22:01] Isumi
    the cherry blossoms bloomed.
