    You and the others have saved Japan!
[01:41] Marika
    Thank you.

    Thanks to... us?
[01:46] Akira
    But I didn't do anything.

[02:10] Yayoi
    It's such a relief to see you
    back and in one piece.
[02:14] Akira
    Yayoi-chan...
[02:19] Marika
    That reminds me...
[02:21] Marika
    Were you able to get ahold of Michiru-chan?
[02:24] Yayoi
    Michiru... isn't coming.
[02:27] Yayoi
    There's something I need you two to see.
[02:33] Marika
    What is it?
[02:35] Marika
    Is that from Michiru-chan?
[02:40] Marika
    Here!

    What was that for?

[02:56] Akira
    "Name of deceased..."
SIGN    At 3:27 PM... Captain Isumi Michiru... was killed...
[02:58] Akira
    "Isumi Michiru"?
[03:01] Marika
    What is this?
[03:02] Marika
    It says the cause of death was
    an accident during TSF flight training.
[03:07] Akira
    That's a lie!
[03:09] Akira
    It has to be a lie.
[03:13] Akira
    Michiru-chan can't be dead.
[03:16] Akira
    Why did it happen while I was on a mission?
[03:19] Akira
    How could a weak pilot like me survive...
[03:23] Akira
    when Michiru-chan died,
    and not even on the battlefield?
[03:27] Akira
    Why did she have to die?!
[03:31] Akira
    It's a lie! It has to be!
[03:35] Yuuko
    This is satellite footage of where
    Sadogashima used to be.
[03:38] Yuuko
    A forty-kilometer radius around the
    blast's epicenter has been wiped clean.
[03:42] Yuuko
    The operation was, more or less, a success.
[03:44] Yuuko
    But the damage to the Sea of Japan's coastline
[03:47] Yuuko
    between the Oga and Noto peninsulas
    was worse than expected.
[03:49] Yuuko
    There were no casualties because
     of the advance warning,
[03:52] Yuuko
    but low-lying areas have been
    flooded and rendered unusable.
[03:54] Yuuko
    There's no projected recovery timeline.
[03:57] Yuuko
    As a result, the Empire has pulled the
    secondary defense line back twenty kilometers.
[04:02] Yuuko
    They're arranging an interim setup.
[04:04] Takeru
    Still, Japan's avoided
    a major strategic threat.
[04:07] Yuuko
    In two weeks' time,
[04:08] Yuuko
    an operation against Target 20 on the
     Korean peninsula will be announced.
[04:13] Yuuko
    Make sure to train as much as you can
    in the simulator until then.
[04:16] A-01
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:18] Radhabinod
    This was a difficult mission,
[04:21] Radhabinod
    and you did a splendid job with its success.
[04:23] Radhabinod
    I am proud of each and every one of you.
[04:26] Radhabinod
    But at the same time, there are no words
    to express my sadness at the loss of
[04:31] Radhabinod
    Captain Isumi and Lieutenant Kashiwagi.
[04:33] Radhabinod
    Yet, as gradual as the gains may be,
[04:36] Radhabinod
    mankind has made
    definite steps towards victory.
[04:39] Radhabinod
    I continue to expect great things
    from you all in the future.
[04:43] Radhabinod
    Lieutenant Hayase.
[04:44] Hayase
    Sir!
[04:45] Radhabinod
    You are hereby named
    commander of Task Force A-01.
[04:49] Hayase
    Thank you, sir!
[04:51] Radhabinod
    Arrangements for reinforcements
    will be made as soon as possible.
[04:53] Radhabinod
    The unit is in your hands.
[04:55] Hayase
    Understood, sir!
[04:59] Hayase
    Captain Isumi...
[05:04] Hayase
    In lieu of a speech, I wanna
     make something clear to all of you.
[05:08] Hayase
    It doesn't matter if she's gone or not,
     this unit is still the "Isumi's Valkyries."
[05:12] Hayase
    That name isn't changing
    even with me in charge, got it?
[05:15] Hayase
    Anyone got a problem with that?
[05:16] A01
    No, ma'am!
[05:18] Hayase
    Don't ever forget the Valkyrie spirit
    that she and Kashiwagi
[05:21] Hayase
    spent their lives demonstrating!
[05:23] Hayase
    Isumi squadron, recite squad motto!
[05:26] A01
    Carry out your mission at all costs!
[05:28] A01
    Fight to your very last breath!
[05:30] A01
    Make your death count!
[05:32] A01
    Make your death count!
[05:35] Hayase
    Use today to get as much rest as you can.
[05:38] Hayase
    Dismissed!
[05:39] A01
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:48] Takeru
    What's wrong, Meiya?
[05:51] Meiya
    Takeru...
[05:53] Meiya
    I keep thinking about
    what the captain said to me.
[06:00] Meiya
    I'm apparently a sword without a sheath.
[06:05] Meiya
    She was likely worried that, after having
    my security removed and my status revoked,
[06:09] Meiya
    that I would be fighting
    to find a place to die.
[06:13] Takeru
    You knew about that?
[06:15] Meiya
    It seems you did, too.
[06:18] Meiya
    There is no need to fear.
[06:21] Meiya
    I am now in a position where
    I am free to fight as I see fit.
[06:26] Takeru
    Meiya...
[06:28] Meiya
    My only concern
[06:29] Meiya
    is whether I'll be able to find a reason
    for fighting, like I had in the past.
[06:35] Meiya
    I...
[06:38] Meiya
    I wish I could have spoken
    with the captain more.
[06:45] Meiya
    What is it you are fighting for now?
[06:50] Takeru
    I've got a short-term reason,
[06:52] Takeru
    and another one that'll matter more
    after mankind achieves victory.
[06:56] Meiya
    After victory is assured?
[06:59] Takeru
    Yeah. I guess you could say
    I'm trying to get back
[07:04] Takeru
    as much of what's been lost
    or destroyed as possible.
[07:07] Meiya
    And the more immediate reason?
[07:11] Takeru
    I told you about the girl I met
    during my special missions, right?
[07:14] Meiya
    You did.
[07:15] Takeru
    Well, completing those special missions
    is the more immediate goal.
[07:20] Meiya
    I see. Completing your mission,
    saving humanity,
[07:24] Meiya
    and then regaining that
    which you have lost, eh?
[07:28] Takeru
    Yep.
[07:30] Meiya
    If I don't want to be outdone by you...
[07:33] Meiya
    I'll need to find something myself soon.
[07:45] Takeru
    Huh? Where is every—
[07:46] Kyozuka
    Takeru! You did good, kiddo!
[07:47] Kyozuka
    I'm glad to see you made it back!
[07:49] Takeru
    I'm back, ma'am.
[07:51] Kyozuka
    Making it home safe and sound is
    the best thing a soldier can accomplish.
[07:54] Kyozuka
    You still haven't eaten lunch yet, right?
[07:56] Kyozuka
    It's on the house, so eat for Michiru-chan
    and Haruko-chan too, all right?
[08:00] Takeru
    Ma'am?!
[08:02] Akane
    You about to eat, Shirogane?
[08:04] Takeru
    Yeah. You too, Suzumiya?
[08:07] Akane
    I just finished.
[08:09] Akane
    Now I'm organizing Haruko's stuff.
[08:12] Takeru
    I see.
[08:13] Akane
    I'm the only one left from when
    our class was assigned, so...
[08:17] Akane
    It's kinda gotta be me, y'know?
[08:21] Takeru
    Suzumiya—
[08:22] Kyouzuka
    How about something to drink, Akane-chan?
[08:24] Kyouzuka
    My treat!
[08:25] Akane
    Really?! I'll take a
     synthetic orange juice, then!
[08:28] Kyouzuka
    Sure thing! What about you, Takeru?
[08:30] Takeru
    I think I'll have the synthetic
    whale combo, tatsuta-fried.
[08:33] Kyouzuka
    Nah, I was asking about your drink!
[08:35] Kyouzuka
    Your lunch is synth ginger-fried pork
    and synth chop suey on rice!
[08:41] Takeru
    I know it's a special occasion,
    but two entrees?
[08:43] Akane
    Those were the captain
    and Haruko's favorites.
[08:51] Takeru
    I'll take the synthetic green tea, then.
[08:53] Kyouzuka
    Coming up!
[08:58] Takeru
    Seriously?
[09:00] Akane
    Hey, Shirogane...
[09:02] Akane
    You and Mitsurugi were with Haruko, right?
[09:06] Akane
    I'm wondering what she said in the end.
[09:12] Akane
    But if it's classified, forget I asked!
[09:19] Takeru
    She was really awesome.
[09:23] Takeru
    Her unit was damaged in battle,
    and was leaking propellant.
[09:29] Takeru
    So, she told us she wouldn't be coming with us,
    because she'd be in the way.
[09:34] Takeru
    Meiya tried to get Kashiwagi
    to board her own TSF....
[09:37] Takeru
    But Kashiwagi said it was a
    waste of time, and to cut it out.
[09:41] Takeru
    And that Meiya's job was
    to keep my unit safe.
[09:43] Takeru
    So she flew back the direction we came from.
[09:46] Takeru
    She did it so that we'd focus on the mission.
[09:50] Akane
    That sounds like her.
[09:53] Takeru
    I asked Lieutenant Suzumiya about it.
[09:55] Takeru
    Afterwards, a bunch of BETA
    surfaced near the Susano-O.
[09:59] Takeru
    And she...
[10:02] Akane
    It's not fair, Haruko.
[10:08] Akane
    It just isn't!
[10:12] Akane
    I appreciate this, Shirogane.
[10:15] Akane
    Thank you for telling me about her.
[10:18] Shirogane
    Of course.
[10:21] Akane
    Sorry. I gotta go.
[10:23] Akane
    It's too much. Gonna go cry on my own.
[10:39] Kasumi
    Welcome back.
[10:40] Takeru
    I'm back, Kasumi.
[10:43] Takeru
    How is she?
[10:45] Kasumi
    She's waking up.
[10:47] Takeru
    Sumika?
[10:50] Sumika
    Takeru-chan?
[10:52] Takeru
    That's right. Kasumi's with us, too.
[10:55] Kasumi
    Welcome home, Sumika-san.
[10:58] Sumika
    Takeru-chan...
[10:59] Sumika
    When I got close to the island,
    I could hear your voice.
[11:04] Sumika
    I knew where you were the whole time.
[11:08] Takeru
    I see.
[11:09] Sumika
    But when I tried to go see you,
[11:12] Sumika
    they got in the way, so I got rid of them.
[11:16] Takeru
    You were really amazing. You saved us!
[11:19] Sumika
    But Takeru-chan...
    you didn't love me anymore.
[11:24] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
    There's no way I'd do that.
[11:27] Sumika
    Then why did you do that?
[11:30] Sumika
    I didn't know what to do!
[11:34] Sumika
    I can't stand you
    leaving me again, Takeru-chan!
[11:39] Takeru
    I'm not going anywhere, I swear!
[11:41] Sumika
    No, no, no...
[11:43] Takeru
    Sumika!
[11:45] Takeru
    Sumika, look at me!
[11:47] Takeru
    You know what I'm thinking, don't you?
[11:51] Takeru
    I love you. I'm going to stay with you.
[11:55] Takeru
    You can tell, can't you?
[12:02] Sumika
    It's true...
[12:05] Sumika
    Thank goodness.
[12:08] Takeru
    You're probably just tired
    after working so hard.
[12:12] Takeru
    Go ahead and get some rest.
[12:14] Takeru
    Okay?
[12:19] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, hold my hand.
[12:26] Sumika
    You're so warm.
[12:31] Kasumi
    She's fallen into a deep sleep.
[12:34] Takeru
    I thought she had gotten more stable lately.
[12:36] Kasumi
    No, Sumika-san isn't confused this time.
[12:40] Takeru
    Did you see something?
[12:42] Kasumi
    Sumika-san thought that you were
    in love with another girl.
[12:47] Kasumi
    And she was very frightened.
[12:50] Takeru
    Me? Why would she think that?
[12:58] Yuuko
    The results of the 00-Unit's reading
[13:00] Yuuko
    during Operation 21st were
    even better than I had hoped.
[13:04] Yuuko
    We now have stub mapping data
    for every hive on the planet,
[13:08] Yuuko
    along with the kind of numbers they have.
[13:11] Takeru
    That's amazing!
[13:13] Yuuko
    With another week, we'll have
    more detailed information, too.
[13:16] Takeru
    Sumika was able to get all that
    in such a short amount of time?
[13:21] Yuuko
    Based on what we know about
    intel transmission between hives,
[13:24] Yuuko
    we'll need to hit Target 20
    within two weeks, ideally.
[13:28] Takeru
    Before they realize mankind is
    going on the attack, right?
[13:32] Yuuko
    The only problem is that the UN brass
    have suddenly gotten cold feet.
[13:36] Takeru
    Did something happen?
[13:38] Yuuko
    Alternative V advocates have used
    the outcome of the mission
[13:41] Yuuko
    to claim that Operation 21st was a failure.
[13:44] Yuuko
    Making a big stink about how we should have
    just G-Bombed the island instead.
[13:47] Takeru
    But the whole point was the reading.
    Doesn't that mean it was a success?
[13:52] Yuuko
    Well, obviously I can't just
    tell them that, can I?
[13:54] Takeru
    What do you mean?
[13:58] Yuuko
    I'm trying to lure the remaining
    Alternative V proponents out into the open.
[14:03] Yuuko
    The people making the fuss right now
    are a perfect example.
[14:06] Yuuko
    We'll use the data we've gained
    to neutralize another hive,
[14:08] Yuuko
    and then go public with our intel on
     all the other hives around the world.
[14:14] Yuuko
    That'll shut them up for good.
[14:16] Yuuko
    There are people who see
    what happened to Sadogashima
[14:18] Yuuko
    and now think that G-Bombs should be
    avoided as much as possible, too.
[14:24] Yuuko
    We just need to get the UN over
    their defensive approach to the war...
[14:27] Yuuko
    for the sake of what comes after that.
[14:55] Munakata
    Nicely done, Touko.
[14:57] Kazama
    Thank you.
[14:59] Haruka
    That was the Kreutzer Sonata, right?
[15:02] Hayase
    That's by Rachmaninoff, right?
[15:04] Munakata
    Sorry, no. It's Beethoven.
[15:08] Haruka
    Hey, it's okay.
[15:10] Kazama
    This piece...
[15:12] Kazama
    The captain complimented
    my playing of it before.
[15:19] Haruka
    I didn't know that.
[15:21] Hayase
    I can't believe I'm supposed to replace her.
[15:25] Munakata
    It's one hell of a responsibility.
[15:27] Hayase
    And you're trying
    to raise the pressure, I see.
[15:29] Haruka
    You'll be fine, Mitsuki.
[15:32] Hayase
    Well, it's not like I've got an alternative.
[15:35] Munakata
    Where are the others?
[15:36] Haruka
    The girls from 207B are digging
    a grave for Sergeant Jinguuji.
[15:41] Haruka
    Akane is organizing
    Lieutenant Kashiwagi's belongings.
[15:44] Haruka
    I asked Lieutenant Usuki
    if she wanted to join us, but...
[15:46] Hayase
    She's probably not ready yet.
[15:49] Munakata
    She only ever opened up
    to the captain, after all.
[15:52] Haruka
    I think the captain meant
    something special to her.
[15:56] Hayase
    That goes for all of us.
[15:59] Hayase
    The captain was like that for everybody.
[16:14] Sakura
    Michiru-san...
[16:24] Takeru
    An attack on the original hive...
[16:26] Yuuko
    I wouldn't get excited just yet.
[16:28] Yuuko
    To make sure it actually happens,
[16:31] Yuuko
    we need to execute this
    next operation perfectly.
[16:35] Takeru
    But Sumika...
[16:36] Takeru
    I don't think she's in any
    condition to fight right now.
[16:39] Yuuko
    You can relax.
[16:41] Yuuko
    Her vitals are more stable
    than they were before the mission.
[16:43] Takeru
    Then do we know why she crashed?
[16:46] Yuuko
    Not quite.
[16:47] Yuuko
    But what we do know is her ODL
    had degraded abnormally quickly.
[16:51] Takeru
    ODL?
[16:53] Yuuko
    It's the fluid that circulates
    through the 00-Unit's brain.
[16:57] Yuuko
    It's supposed to last for 72 hours,
[16:59] Yuuko
    but had degraded faster than
    I thought possible in only 12 hours.
[17:02] Takeru
    What caused it?
[17:03] Yuuko
    Hard to say. You have any ideas?
[17:10] Yuuko
    She was worried about you
    leaving her for someone else?
[17:12] Takeru
    Does that seem like something?
[17:14] Yuuko
    She was observing you from the
     moment she entered the combat zone.
[17:18] Yuuko
    Do you remember what
     you would've been thinking?
[17:22] Takeru
    What I was thinking?
[17:25] (Flashback) Meiya
    Takeru...
[17:27] Yuuko
    You and Mitsurugi?
[17:29] Takeru
    I couldn't tell you if it was a memory
    from a previous loop or a fantasy...
[17:33] Yuuko
    And in a combat zone, of all places.
[17:36] Yuuko
    Anyway, I'd say there's a strong likelihood that
     is what caused her ODL to degrade so quickly.
[17:41] Takeru
    Would it really affect her that badly?
[17:44] Yuuko
    I'm guessing between her hatred
    for the BETA and that jealousy...
[17:49] Yuuko
    It was enough to cause some sort of overflow.
[17:52] Takeru
    Then it's my fault.
[17:53] Yuuko
    Okay, stop right there.
[17:55] Yuuko
    Are you seriously about to start acting
    like a whiny brat and run off again?
[17:59] Takeru
    No! But still...
[18:00] Yuuko
    You've done a fantastic job, seriously.
[18:02] Yuuko
    You accomplished something
    incredible in very little time.
[18:08] Yuuko
    You got the 00-Unit ready for
    action in under ten days.
[18:13] Yuuko
    I don't get that sulky look.
    That's a major accomplishment!
[18:16] Yuuko
    You ought to be more proud.
[18:18] Takeru
    But Sensei, the people
    who died on the mission...
[18:21] Yuuko
    Let me ask you, then:
[18:23] Yuuko
    Let's say that thought never crossed your mind.
     Isumi and Kashiwagi didn't die.
[18:28] Yuuko
    But what if you died instead?
[18:30] Takeru
    That wouldn't...
[18:32] Takeru
    I guess I can't say for sure, can I?
[18:34] Yuuko
    Even if you start another loop,
[18:36] Yuuko
    there's no guarantee that it'll
    go any better than this one has.
[18:39] Yuuko
    This moment that we're living in
[18:41] Yuuko
    is the best possible future,
    the one Isumi chose for us.
[18:45] Yuuko
    She didn't die as a
    result of some coincidence.
[18:48] Yuuko
    She made a decision that brought us
    to this state of affairs herself.
[18:53] Yuuko
    This stuff about her
    saving Japan or whatever?
[18:56] Yuuko
    Isumi's death goes far beyond
    whatever you're thinking.
[19:00] Yuuko
    So don't get the wrong idea.
[19:11] 207th
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[19:14] 207th
    Hey!
[19:17] Mikoto
    We've got it!
[19:19] Chizuru
    Everything set?
[19:21] Ayamine
    Ready to go.
[19:23] Meiya
    Well done, everyone.
[19:27] Tama
    Now Sergeant Jinguuji can join the captain.
[19:32] Mikoto
    Yep!
[19:34] Isumi
    Sakaki, you need to learn to relax.
[19:38] Isumi
    You manage that, and you'll be able
    to tap into the potential you've got.
[19:42] Chizuru
    Thank you very much, ma'am!
[19:45] Chizuru
    Captain Isumi...
[19:47] Marimo
    Sakaki, I know it won't be easy,
    but show the others the way.
[19:52] Marimo
    They're counting on you, leader.
[19:54] Chizuru
    Sergeant Jinguuji... Captain Isumi...
[19:58] Chizuru
    Like them, and my father...
    I'll do whatever is best.
[20:02] Isumi
    Ayamine.
[20:03] Isumi
    You might seem cool at a glance,
[20:06] Isumi
    but I can tell how intense and
    strongly you feel underneath that.
[20:09] Isumi
    And that you think showing people
    how you feel is weakness.
[20:13] Isumi
    That's not true, though.
[20:14] Isumi
    Relying on others, and having them
    rely on you, isn't as bad as you think.
[20:18] (Flashback) Ayamine
    I need to rely on my comrades...
[20:21] Isumi
    Yoroi, your cheery nature is
    a real asset to the squad.
[20:24] Isumi
    But you're a little too self-absorbed.
[20:26] Isumi
    It's important to listen to what others
    have to say sometimes, alright?
[20:29] (Flashback) Mikoto
    Thank you so much, Captain!
[20:32] Isumi
    Tamase, I think the way
    you're considerate for others,
[20:34] Isumi
    and the group dynamic that makes, is wonderful.
[20:37] Isumi
    But you tend to freeze up
    when the focus is on you.
[20:40] Isumi
    It wouldn't hurt you to be
    a little more selfish.
[20:43] (Flashback) Tama
    I'll work hard to be a
     little more selfish, ma'am!
[20:45] Isumi
    Mitsurugi, for someone with true resolve,
[20:48] Isumi
    sacrificing their life to protect
    someone else is probably easy.
[20:53] Isumi
    And making that kind of sacrifice
    in defense of another is a noble act.
[20:57] (Flashback) Isumi
    But it's the kind of thing
    that can only be done once.
[20:59] (Flashback) Isumi
    If you choose to die,
[21:01] (Flashback) Isumi
    then you need to make sure you trade your life
[21:04] Isumi
    for the greatest gain possible.
[21:05] (Flashback) Meiya
    Yes, ma'am.
[21:07] Isumi
    You're like a sword without a sheath.
[21:13] Meiya
    The captain was our commanding officer
     for only two weeks, and yet...
[21:18] Ayamine
    I know what you mean.
[21:20] Meiya
    Her words to us at the end
[21:22] Meiya
    were clearly aimed at troubles
    that each of are carrying.
[21:25] Chizuru
    Even if Sergeant Jinguuji
    had talked to her about it,
[21:28] Chizuru
    she must've really been
    paying close attention to us.
[21:31] Mikoto
    Yeah.
[21:31] Tama
    I think that, within five years,
[21:33] Tama
    we need to be as good as she was,
    or we won't be able to face her.
[21:38] Chizuru
    Five years?
[21:40] Mikoto
    Well, she was five years older than us, right?
[21:42] Mikoto
    Which is why we need to
    catch up in the meantime.
[21:44] Tama
    That's right!
[21:45] Ayamine
    Five years, huh?
[21:47] Meiya
    A good point.
[21:48] Chizuru
    I'm sure we'll manage by then.

[22:14] Kasumi
    Sumika-san wanted to come out here.
[22:19] Sumika
    I'm not sure why, but this

[22:23] Takeru
    I see.
[22:30] Sumika
    Takeru-chan?
[22:33] Takeru
    I've finally managed
    to take one step forward.
[22:37] Takeru
    Toward saving the world...
    Toward fixing the things I've wrecked...
[22:40] Takeru
    Toward recovering the things I've lost.
[22:44] Takeru
