[01:33] Man 1
    Damn it! It's impossible for us to cross now!
[01:36] Woman 1
    What do we do?!
    The monsters are approaching!
[01:44] Mitsuha
    It really isn't working!
[01:53] Captain
    They may be monsters, but it looks like
    their brains are still in their heads.
[01:56] Mitsuha
    Nice one, Captain!
[02:03] Captain
    That being said...
[02:04] Captain
    Damn it, there's no end to them!
[02:06] Captain
    How are things back there?
[02:08] Mitsuha
    Looks like they still can't cross.
[02:10] Captain
    So we need to hold the fort
    a little longer, huh?
[02:13] Mitsuha
    How much ammo do you have?
[02:14] Captain
    Not a whole lot.
[02:15] Captain
    Enough to last two or three minutes at most!
[02:17] Mitsuha
    If we jumped worlds,
    the two of us would be safe.
[02:20] Mitsuha
    But...
[02:21] Mitsuha
    We can't just abandon those people!
[02:24] Mitsuha
    What now? What do we do?
[02:29] Mitsuha
    Jump back to Wolf's Fang
    and ask for reinforcements?
[02:32] Mitsuha
    No! It'll take too long to convince them all!
[02:36] Mitsuha
    I don't know what weapons we would
    even bring, and we'd need to prepare!
[02:42] Captain
    They've brought all their
    little friends along, as well!
[02:44] Captain
    What, are they on their way
    to a bargain sale?!
[02:48] Mitsuha
    Brought along their friends? Bargain?
SIGN    1 person = 10% off
SIGN    5 people = half price
[02:51] (Flashback) Mitsuha
    If you bring one person, I'll give you 10% off.
[02:54] (Flashback) Sven
    All right, we'll bring them.
    We'll bring the whole guild here!
[02:58] (Flashback) Sepp
    Then we can get this firestarter,
    a stove, some rations...
[03:02] Mitsuha
    Captain! Hold them off here
    for two more minutes!
[03:06] Captain
    H-Hey!
[03:08] Captain
    Well, I'm used to it by now...
[03:10] Captain
    Two minutes, huh?
    She makes it sound so easy!
[03:16] Captain
    Jeez, been a while since I've had
    to work so hard for my pay.
[03:20] Mitsuha
    In here, there should be...
[03:23] Mitsuha
    Found it! And also...
SIGN    Fireworks Set
[03:27] Mitsuha
    That's it!
[03:37] Captain
    Damn it!
[03:38] Captain
    There's only so much I can do
    with so many of them!
[03:41] Mitsuha
    I'm back now!
[03:43] Captain
    Did you bring back some weapons?
[03:44] Mitsuha
    Please back me up!
[03:45] Captain
    H-Hey!
[03:50] Mitsuha
    There we go!
[03:51] Captain
    Huh?!
[03:58] Captain
    Nice one, little lady!
[04:00] Mitsuha
    And now, for good measure!
SIGN    Fountain
    Firework
[04:14] Captain
    Hey, now. Talk about overkill...
[04:25] Captain
    Who the hell is that?
[04:26] Mitsuha
    He might be a monster handler for the enemy...
[04:29] Captain
    I see...
[04:36] Captain
    Looks like we managed to scrape by here.
[04:38] Mitsuha
    Yes!
[04:46] Mitsuha
    Hooray! We did it!
[04:49] Villager
    You saved us!
[04:52] Captain
    Hey!
[04:54] Captain
    Looks like that monster handler got away.
[04:57] Mitsuha
    Let's leave him be.
[04:59] Mitsuha
    I'm sure he won't cause trouble anytime soon.
[05:01] Captain
    Got it. I've worked my share
    for this gold coin, then.
[05:05] Mitsuha
    Thank you very much.
[05:07] Captain
    I believe you about other worlds and monsters.
[05:10] Captain
    But the enemy number 20,000.
[05:11] Captain
    And they've got resilient monsters, as well.
[05:13] Mitsuha
    There are probably even stronger monsters.
[05:16] Mitsuha
    Is this too difficult
    a request to ask of you?
[05:26] Captain
    You said it pays a minimum
    guarantee of 40,000 gold,
[05:29] Captain
    plus additional compensation
    as appropriate, right?
[05:31] Mitsuha
    Yes.
[05:34] Captain
    Make sure you fork up plenty
    of additional pay, young lady!
[05:37] Mitsuha
    Eh?
[05:38] Captain
    I couldn't ask for a more worthy foe.
[05:39] Mitsuha
    So you mean...
[05:41] Captain
    Time for an emergency
    gathering of PMC Wolf's Fang!
[06:01] Tobias
    They say the Imperial army
    has launched an invasion!
[06:02] Eline
    What?!
[06:03] Tobias
    I heard the king is assembling
    soldiers in the capital!
[06:07] Colette
    Will Mitsuha be okay?
[06:10] Soldier 1
    Go! Hurry!
[06:12] Soldier 2
    Make sure you fill up on gas!
[06:15] Captain
    Is this Professor Bishop
    from Harvard University?
[06:19] Captain
    Yes, we're the ones who took that photo.
[06:23] Captain
    To be perfectly honest...
[06:45] Captain
    We've assembled all 60
    of our men, including myself.
[07:08] Mitsuha
    Men! It is time for war!
[07:11] Mitsuha
    The enemy are 20,000. There are 61 of us.
[07:15] Mitsuha
    Ahead of you lies
    a mission fraught with danger.
[07:18] Mitsuha
    What awaits you is a pittance of gold,
[07:20] Mitsuha
    pride and dignity, as well
    as gratitude from the populace.
[07:25] Mitsuha
    The two sides in a war insist
    that they are in the right.
[07:29] Mitsuha
    Both are the same.
[07:30] Mitsuha
    There is no justice to be found there.
[07:33] Mitsuha
    A frenzy to gain wealth and power.
[07:35] Mitsuha
    And the masses are the ones
    who always pay the price.
[07:38] Mitsuha
    However, this time is different!
[07:40] Mitsuha
    The enemy violated their pact,
[07:42] Mitsuha
    launching a unilateral invasion with
    their soldiers and hordes of monsters!
[07:45] Mitsuha
    Your mission here is to fight to defend
    the royal capital and its citizens!
[07:53] Mitsuha
    Let me take this moment
    to declare the following:
[07:55] Mitsuha
    we are undeniably
    on the side of justice here!
[08:04] Mitsuha
    I will step aside for about 10 minutes.
[08:07] Mitsuha
    If you won't take on this mission,
    use that time to take your leave.
[08:12] Mitsuha
    Those who remain are to then
    head off to the battlefield.
[08:16] Mitsuha
    I will place my hopes in your courage.
[08:52] Captain
    All of Wolf's Fang is taking part!
[08:58] Mitsuha
    Embark!
[09:03] Captain
    That was amazing, young lady.
[09:05] Captain
    You'd make one hell of an agitator, you know.
[09:07] Mitsuha
    The opening of that speech
    was actually stolen
[09:10] Mitsuha
    from a recruitment ad
    for Antarctic explorers...
[09:12] Mitsuha
    But still...
[09:13] Mitsuha
    None of them are prying too deeply
    into my identity or this mission...
[09:18] Captain
    They make it a point not to inquire
    into their clients' private lives!
[09:21] Captain
    They're professionals,
    just like Sven and his party!
[09:24] Captain
    It looks like God will be fighting
    with us for the first time in ages!
[09:27] Mitsuha
    God?
[09:29] Captain
    Our guardian deity.
[09:37] Captain
    And he's brought angels with him, as well!

[10:13] Royal Guard
    A message from the herald!
[10:14] Royal Guard
    20,000 enemy troops have arrived
    right outside the royal capital!
[10:18] Royal Guard
    They've formed an encampment!
[10:20] King
    So they're finally here...
[10:21] Aiblinger
    We have less than 2,000
    soldiers left in the capital...
[10:24] King
    We must hold out as long as we
    can by barricading ourselves.
[10:28] Sahr
    We can only hope that provincial
    reinforcements arrive in time.
[10:36] Soldier
    I-I-It's terrible!
[10:38] Aiblinger
    What's wrong?!
[10:39] Soldier
    In the courtyard...
[10:41] Soldier
    There are monsters in the courtyard!
[10:43] King
    What'd you say?!
[10:44] Aiblinger
    Has the enemy invaded?!
[10:45] Sahr
    I believe entry into the courtyard had been
    forbidden at Miss Mitsuha's behest.
[11:10] King
    Wh-What are these things?!
[11:18] Mitsuha
    Wolf's Fang has arrived!
[11:20] Mitsuha
    Zegleius Kingdom! I have returned!
[11:24] Sahr
    Miss Mitsuha!
[11:26] Mitsuha
    We will now proceed to move into position.
[11:28] Mitsuha
    And at the break of dawn, our main
    force will attack from the main gate!
[11:31] Mitsuha
    We'll drive the enemy back!
[11:33] Mitsuha
    Everyone, form a barricade
    and defend the gates!
[11:36] Mitsuha
    We'll lend our support, as well!
[11:37] Aiblinger
    Wha...
[12:03] Mitsuha
    Ah ah.
[12:05] Mitsuha
    Just as we discussed, station six men each
[12:08] Mitsuha
    at the three gates other than
    the main gate to the south.
[12:10] Mitsuha
    Don't forget your designated
    weapons and ammunition.
[12:21] Mitsuha
    Stop engines!
[12:32] Mitsuha
    Troops! I love this country!
[12:35] Mitsuha
    Aginucono adiks!
[12:37] Captain
    This country's language, huh?
[12:39] Mitsuha
    I love this town! I love the people
    who live in this town!
[12:45] Mitsuha
    So I will stain these hands with blood.
[12:49] Mitsuha
    Wolf's Fang! Forward!
[12:55] Mitsuha
    Open the gate!
[13:02] Leiden
    Oh!
[13:04] Leiden
    The Messenger of Lightning goes into battle!
[13:08] Young Man
    You know who she is, old man Leiden?!
[13:11] Leiden
    Yes... I saw it with my own eyes...
[13:14] Leiden
    Just as the third princess
    was abducted in a back alley...
[13:18] Leiden
    The Messenger struck down lightning
    to save Her Royal Highness!
[13:24] Leiden
    I remember she called herself
    the Messenger of Lightning!
[13:28] Leiden
    I saw it myself through a crack in the wall!
[13:31] Young Man
    The Messenger...
[13:33] Resident 1
    The Messenger of Lightning...
[13:37] Resident 2
    The Messenger is taking up arms for our sake!
[13:45] Group
    Glory be to the Messenger!
[13:49] Group
    Messenger!
[13:50] Mitsuha
    I feel like I can make out
    some unsettling words there...
[13:54] Mitsuha
    No, my ears must be playing a trick on me!
[13:55] Mitsuha
    Nope, I don't hear it!
[14:02] Sabine
    Mitsuha, be safe...
[14:23] Enemy Commander
    What are those? Wagons?
[14:25] Enemy Commander
    Sacrificial pawns to buy some time?
[14:28] Enemy Commander
    I have no intent of playing along...
[14:31] Enemy Commander
    But I suppose I'll show some courtesy.
[14:34] Enemy Commander
    Hey, negotiation time. Make it quick.
[14:37] Lotz
    Yes!
[14:41] Mitsuha
    Someone's coming.
[14:44] Mitsuha
    Snipers, take aim!
[14:46] Mitsuha
    Target the enemy horseback
    rider charging in!
[14:49] Sniper
    Roger.
[14:52] Lotz
    I am a nobleman of the glorious
    Alder Empire, Count Thorsten von Lotz!
[14:57] Mitsuha
    Aim for his right upper arm.
[14:58] Lotz
    On this occasion, our Empire—
[14:59] Mitsuha
    Fire!
[15:01] Enemy Commander
    What?!
[15:05] Captain
    Wound him intentionally so that they have to
    spare some of their men to treat him...
[15:10] Captain
    So that's what we're going for
    with the humans, young lady?
[15:13] Mitsuha
    Yes.
[15:14] Mitsuha
    They don't know about guns, so it should
    cause a lot of psychological fear, as well.
[15:18] Captain
    Roger that!
[15:19] Captain
    All men, dismount vehicles!
[15:21] Captain
    Prepare to engage!
[15:30] Enemy Commander
    They attacked the negotiating envoy?!
[15:33] Enemy Commander
    Do you barbarians have no pride or dignity?!
[15:35] Mitsuha
    A message for the Imperial troops who
     have shed their pride and dignity!
[15:38] Enemy Commander
    Wh-What'd you say?!
[15:40] Enemy Commander
    How can we hear you from over here?!
[15:42] Mitsuha
    You lowly bandits joining
    forces with monsters,
[15:44] Mitsuha
    killing innocent civilians,
    and plundering this kingdom
[15:47] Mitsuha
    have no right to talk of pride or dignity!
[15:50] Mitsuha
    You have angered the gods.
[15:52] Mitsuha
    No matter how bravely you fight,
[15:55] Mitsuha
    you Imperial troops will
    not ascend to the heavens!
[15:58] Mitsuha
    You are all doomed to go to hell!
[16:02] Mitsuha
    Do you want to know why
    I'm so confident in saying that?
[16:06] Mitsuha
    You see, it's because
    that's what I've decided!
[16:09] Mitsuha
    Face the wrath of the gods!
[16:12] Mitsuha
    All light infantry and snipers,
    aim for hostile arms and legs!
[16:16] Mitsuha
    Fire!
[16:22] Enemy Commander
    Wh-What in the world?!
[16:25] Captain
    Young lady, as for the monsters...
[16:28] Captain
    It seems each kind is
    accompanied by one human.
[16:33] Mitsuha
    Are they monster handlers,
    like the one from before?
[16:36] Captain
    Probably.
[16:38] Mitsuha
    Then incapacitate them one by one.
[16:44] Enemy Commander
    Wh... Wh... Wha...
[16:47] Enemy Soldier 1
    All officers in charge of monsters are down!
[16:49] Enemy Soldier 1
    Now the monsters won't do as we say!
[16:51] Enemy Commander
    What?!
[16:53] Enemy Commander
    The monster regiments we established
    after much sacrifice and harsh training
[16:57] Enemy Commander
    are suddenly useless?!
[16:59] Enemy Commander
    Use brute force to send in the monsters!
[17:01] Enemy Commander
    A bit of momentum,
    and they'll go charging in!
[17:03] Enemy Commander
    Dispatch our remaining foot soldiers, as well!
[17:05] Enemy Commander
    Most of them are expendable peasants, anyway!
[17:09] Enemy Commander
    Hurry up!
[17:10] Enemy Commander
    Before they launch more of those attacks!
[17:16] Mitsuha
    One light round of machine
    gun fire on the monsters.
[17:19] Mitsuha
    Then only attack the ones who look like
    military, as well as approaching monsters.
[17:23] Captain
    Huh? Ignore the other soldiers and monsters?
[17:26] Mitsuha
    Yep.
[17:27] Mitsuha
    The monsters who've lost trust and think
    they were tricked by deceitful humans...
[17:31] Mitsuha
    We'll send them right back to the Empire.
[17:34] Mitsuha
    They'll gobble up lots of enemy
    soldiers on their way back.
[17:41] Mitsuha
    We'll instill plenty of fear
    in the forcibly conscripted peasants,
[17:45] Mitsuha
    and fill them with anger
    and hatred toward the Empire.
[17:48] Captain
    Young lady, can I say one thing?
[17:51] Mitsuha
    Yeah, what is it?
[17:55] Captain
    You're creeping me out!
[18:01] Mitsuha
    Anyone who looks like they're giving orders,
[18:03] Mitsuha
    is wearing flashy armor,
    or is on horseback...
[18:05] Mitsuha
    Take all of them out completely!
[18:08] Peasant 1
    We were dragged here against our will!
[18:11] Peasant 2
    I can't take any more of this!
[18:15] Tsuyoshi
    There's no need to massacre
    the enemy troops to be victorious in war.
[18:20] Tsuyoshi
    Few wars end with most
    of the soldiers dying.
[18:24] Tsuyoshi
    In reality, they'll be done for after
    50% or so are killed in action.
[18:27] Tsuyoshi
    Usually, total defeat comes even sooner,
    once about 30% are dead.
[18:31] Tsuyoshi
    That is, they concede defeat and it's over.
[18:35] Mitsuha
    So we'll thoroughly crush the career
    officers who are the heart of their army!
[18:41] Mitsuha
    Okay! The enemy front has begun to fall back!
[18:44] Mitsuha
    Hmm?
[18:47] Mitsuha
    What... are those?
[18:54] Enemy Commander
    The wyvern squadron is here!
[18:56] Enemy Commander
    Now we can begin our counterattack!
[18:57] Enemy Commander
    A triumph accomplished with
    many years and sacrifices!
[19:01] Enemy Commander
    Strapping soldiers and wyverns,
    united by their bond
[19:04] Enemy Commander
    to form the world's first airborne cavalry!
[19:07] Enemy Commander
    They'll rain spears down on
    the heart of the enemy forces,
[19:09] Enemy Commander
    and swoop down inside the gate!
[19:11] Enemy Commander
    Then, the wyverns' powerful claws
    and bills can tear open the gate
[19:13] Enemy Commander
    while keeping enemies at a distance,
[19:15] Enemy Commander
    allowing their fellow troops to rush inside!
[19:17] Enemy Commander
    It's perfect!
[19:18] Enemy Commander
    Ah, to think I get to witness this
    monumental feat with my very own eyes!
[19:24] Mitsuha
    Th-This is...
[19:25] Captain
    There's no need to worry, young lady!
[19:27] Mitsuha
    Eh?
[19:28] Captain
    We've got God on our side!
[19:39] Captain
    Yes, this is our God!
[19:42] Captain
    It all goes back to when we were still
    a nameless team of mercenaries.
[19:47] Captain
    On that battlefield,
[19:49] Captain
    we were tasked by our employer,
    the government army, with taking the rear.
[19:53] Captain
    Mercenaries are expendable in the end.
[19:55] Captain
    The regular army used us as decoys
    to hightail it out of there.
[19:59] Captain
    After running out of guns and ammo,
    just when we thought it was the end...
[20:05] Captain
    God descended upon us.
[20:08] Captain
    An abandoned half-track with
    an old 20mm autocannon...
[20:14] Captain
    It's thanks to this God that we
    made it through and are still alive!
[20:18] Captain
    Our fangs that tear through
    air and ground enemies alike!
[20:22] Captain
    It's where we got our name, Wolf's Fang!
[20:25] Captain
    Fire!
[20:39] Enemy Commander
    Eh?
[20:40] Enemy Commander
    I-In just a brief moment...
[20:44] Enemy Commander
    The culmination of long years of blood,
    sweat, tears, and an immense budget...
[20:50] Enemy Commander
    B-Blown away to pieces!
[20:59] Captain
    Well? How'd you like our God?
[21:02] Mitsuha
    I'll have to offer my prayers to him later.
[21:04] Captain
    I like the way you think.
[21:06] Captain
    I'm sure God will be thrilled, too!
[21:09] Captain
    So, is it all over?
[21:10] Mitsuha
    Yes, most likely.
[21:25] Mitsuha
    Eh...
[21:28] Captain
    H-Hey! What the hell is that?!
[22:05] ED Lyrics
    I open my eyes, and where do I find myself?
[22:10] ED Lyrics
    Maybe I should go back to bed
[22:15] ED Lyrics
    Pretending I'm still half-asleep
[22:19] ED Lyrics
    Running away from reality,
    to the west and east
[22:24] ED Lyrics
    To be honest, life's all about
[22:26] ED Lyrics
    Taking falls and getting back up
    (heavy damage)
[22:28] ED Lyrics
    Hurt as it may, there's
    still a long road ahead...
[22:33] ED Lyrics
    Looks like I've reached the end of my rope
[22:38] ED Lyrics
    Hitting life's harder levels
[22:42] ED Lyrics
    That's a test from the gods
    that I'll take on
[22:47] ED Lyrics
    First things first, gotta be the economy!
[22:49] ED Lyrics
    Aiming for the bourgeois life
[22:52] ED Lyrics
    Gotta be the economy!
[22:54] ED Lyrics
    No matter what enemies may come my way
[22:57] ED Lyrics
    Gotta be the economy!
[22:59] ED Lyrics
    I'll get them on my side
[23:01] ED Lyrics
    Gotta be the economy!
[23:03] ED Lyrics
    Who doesn't need money, after all?
[23:06] ED Lyrics
    To the days where you need to
    scrape by one way or another
[23:11] ED Lyrics
    Here's to you!
