"501st, Get Ready for Setsubun?"
**[01:31] ---**
It's night patrol time... gotta wake up...
**[01:34] ---**
You can sleep a little more.
**[01:37] ---**
Ready... go!
**[01:41] ---**
What's this about?
**[01:42] ---**
--Congratulations! Congratulations!
Congratulations...
**[01:43] ---**
--What? What are you guys doing?
--Congratulations! Congratulations!
Congratulations...
**[01:47] ---**
Is this... a rice shower?
**[01:51] ---**
Knock it off, guys!
**[01:53] ---**
--Soy beans?
--Congratulations! Congratulations!
This is for you!
**[01:54] ---**
--What are they doing?
--Congratulations! Congratulations!
This is for you!
**[01:57] ---**
It's February 3rd! Setsubun!
**[02:00] ---**
So you were following some Fuso tradition?
**[02:03] ---**
We were throwing beans to drive off the *oni*.
**[02:06] ---**
*Oni* are similar to what you'd call devils.
**[02:09] ---**
And when you throw the beans at the *oni*,
they scream in pain and run.
**[02:14] ---**
So they're doing it right, but...
**[02:17] ---**
That tradition's going to involve
a lot of clean up...
**[02:23] ---**
The beans...
**[02:24] ---**
...broke the wall.
**[02:25] ---**
You throw beans at *oni* and devils, right?
**[02:28] ---**
Don't blame me.
That's just what you do for Setsubun.
**[02:30] ---**
Here you go. She's a black devil.
**[02:32] ---**
Here you go. She's got *oni* boobs.
**[02:34] ---**
I'm not exactly behaving perfectly myself.
**[02:37] ---**
When I punished them I made it
so you had to do extra work.
**[02:42] ---**
No.
**[02:43] ---**
I understand that you're
doing it out of love,
**[02:46] ---**
to make them better people in the future.
**[02:50] ---**
My little sister!
**[02:52] ---**
It's hard to believe that someone so obsessed
with rules could soften up like that.
**[02:56] ---**
Maybe it's the power of Miyafuji's love.
**[02:58] ---**
--Upsy-daisy Upsy-daisy!
**[02:59] ---**
--What's wrong?
--Upsy-daisy Upsy-daisy!
**[03:00] ---**
No... That's not love.
**[03:02] ---**
It's Stockholm Syndrome.
**[03:04] ---**
"Stockholm Syndrome"
**[03:06] ---**
Where people who've been kidnapped or
**[03:08] ---**
held hostage come to trust or fall in love
with their captors due to extreme stress.
**[03:13] ---**
Miyafuji was taken all the way from Fuso
**[03:15] ---**
to the front lines,
where she's not allowed to leave.
**[03:17] ---**
What you're seeing is Stockholm Syndrome.
**[03:20] ---**
I see. I almost made a serious mistake.
**[03:23] ---**
Be careful.
**[03:24] ---**
"Whisper" "Whisper"
**[03:24] ---**
Now that you mention it,
it does seem criminal.
**[03:27] ---**
Right?
**[03:31] ---**
This is normal in Fuso, huh?
**[03:35] ---**
Yeah. I know what you're thinking.
**[03:35] ---**
"Anchovy"
**[03:37] ---**
"Bean Bag"
**[03:37] ---**
"Wow, that's scary..."
**[03:37] ---**
I'm taking some beans.
**[03:39] ---**
Don't throw them all.
**[03:41] ---**
Later you eat one for each year
you’ve been alive.
**[03:44] ---**
"Soybeans"
**[03:44] ---**
Do we have enough, though?
**[03:47] ---**
I'll have to ask Wing Commander Mina how many
people we've got and how old they are.
**[03:50] ---**
Miyafuji thinks Mina is tens
of thousands of years old.
**[03:53] ---**
Even I couldn't ask her
that unless I was drunk.
**[03:55] ---**
No, I mean for the entire base!
**[03:58] ---**
Miyafuji, please report to the cafeteria.
**[04:02] ---**
"Aaah!"
**[04:04] ---**
"Cafeteria"
**[04:05] ---**
A package?
**[04:06] ---**
Yes.
**[04:07] ---**
And a letter.
**[04:09] ---**
Anyway, I'll be going.
**[04:11] ---**
"Inspected"
**[04:12] ---**
It's from home!
**[04:14] ---**
That's great.
**[04:16] ---**
Can we open this?
**[04:17] ---**
Go ahead.
**[04:19] ---**
What is it?
**[04:21] ---**
I'm just so happy...
**[04:22] ---**
Maybe I was homesick.
**[04:25] ---**
I see. But don't forget,
**[04:28] ---**
you've got family here in the 501st, too.
**[04:32] ---**
Thank you, big sister!
**[04:34] ---**
Little sister!
**[04:35] ---**
Doctor, is that...?
**[04:37] ---**
That's Lima Syndrome.
**[04:40] ---**
It's the opposite of what you saw before,
**[04:42] ---**
when the kidnapper falls
in love with their victim.
**[04:45] ---**
I see. Very educational.
**[04:48] ---**
What's the letter say?
**[04:50] ---**
I'm amazed you can talk like that.
**[04:50] ---**
"Inspected"
**[04:52] ---**
Um... "Dear Yoshika.
**[04:54] ---**
I can read in the papers that
the fighting is very fierce."
**[04:58] ---**
Huh? My chest aches...
**[05:00] ---**
Maybe there is some good in you.
**[05:02] ---**
I'm sending you mochi because I don't
think you got any for New Year's.
**[05:05] ---**
Please eat them with your friends.
**[05:07] ---**
So these are the famous Fuso mochi!
**[05:09] ---**
I've never seen them before!
**[05:11] ---**
From Fuso, dated mid-December!
**[05:13] ---**
Mochi are green, huh?
**[05:15] ---**
"The State of Sea Transportation in 1944"
**[05:16] ---**
Green mold!
**[05:17] ---**
I know that's what you should expect
after two months at sea,
**[05:21] ---**
but still, it's a shame when they spent
all that time to make them.
**[05:24] ---**
You can just take the mold off and eat them.
**[05:26] ---**
"That's just what they used to do!
Don't try this at home!"
**[05:26] ---**
The mold's only on the surface.
It's fine underneath.
**[05:29] ---**
I'm amazed you know that.
**[05:31] ---**
I'm used to seeing it.
**[05:32] ---**
--Let's cook them on the fire.
**[05:33] ---**
--What did she just say about the mold?
--Let's cook them on the fire.
**[05:34] ---**
--What did she just say about the mold?
--Can I cook a yam, too?
**[05:35] ---**
--I heard nothing.
--Can I cook a yam, too?
**[05:38] ---**
How mysterious!
**[05:39] ---**
They're ready!
**[05:41] ---**
"Chew Chew Chew"
**[05:41] ---**
It feels like gum. Am I supposed to spit
it out when I can't taste it anymore?
**[05:45] ---**
Swallow it.
**[05:48] ---**
Can I have another?
**[05:49] ---**
There's plenty so I'll keep making them.
**[05:52] ---**
Hartmann, are they not to your liking?
**[05:55] ---**
I think I missed my chance to swallow it...
**[05:58] ---**
It's hard your first time, huh?
**[06:01] ---**
I heard some people die
from it every year, huh?
**[06:04] ---**
Really?
**[06:06] ---**
Yes.
**[06:07] ---**
Every year someone gets it stuck
in their throat and dies.
**[06:11] ---**
By the way, if you eat mochi
with green mold on it,
**[06:14] ---**
does your face turn green?
**[06:17] ---**
That explains why she was so quiet!
**[06:20] ---**
Bored now.
**[06:22] ---**
If we had a mortar and pestle we could
grind the yams to make yam mochi.
**[06:27] ---**
What's that?!
**[06:28] ---**
You just need to mix it together, right?
**[06:30] ---**
I'll do it now.
**[06:31] ---**
I've seen it done before.
**[06:33] ---**
What are you doing?
**[06:35] ---**
When the Squadron Leader makes
rice mochi balls this is how she does it.
**[06:39] ---**
Mio Sakamoto, age 19.
**[06:41] ---**
A girl who's a Virgo,
and who can make onigiri that are round.
**[06:45] ---**
"Yum Yum"
**[06:45] ---**
We'd already eaten dinner,
but we still ate a lot.
**[06:47] ---**
"Yum Yum"
"Butter"
**[06:47] ---**
Next time mix in some butter!
**[06:49] ---**
But it's almost bedtime, so I'm afraid
of what this'll do to my waistline.
**[06:52] ---**
Fuso food is healthy, so we'll be fine.
**[06:55] ---**
Right, Miyafuji?
**[06:59] ---**
"A True Warrior Never Abandons Their Friends"
**[07:00] ---**
Okay, I'll share the rest with everyone.
**[07:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:04] ---**
--You're writing an answer?
--Gotta lose weight, huh?
**[07:05] ---**
--You're writing an answer?
--Train more.
**[07:06] ---**
--Yeah.
--Train more.
**[07:07] ---**
I'm going to put something
about all of you in here.
**[07:10] ---**
Is that okay?
**[07:11] ---**
Sure.
**[07:12] ---**
But your superior officers have to
censor your messages, okay?
**[07:15] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:17] ---**
Everyone back home is a fan of you.
**[07:20] ---**
I got permission, so I'm going
to tell them the truth about you.
**[07:29] ---**
What's this? The black sabbath?
**[07:30] ---**
I think it's a sardine.
**[07:34] ---**
What are you doing?
**[07:37] ---**
Well you see...
**[07:39] ---**
Miyafuji's writing about us in a letter, huh?
**[07:42] ---**
We outrank her, so it's our job
to censor the letters.
**[07:44] ---**
This is our duty.
**[07:48] ---**
I'll join in, then!
**[07:49] ---**
Eila...
**[07:51] ---**
Let me see...
**[07:52] ---**
This is for her family, huh?
**[07:53] ---**
She must've written about
us in the other one.
**[07:55] ---**
"Dear Michiko.
**[07:57] ---**
So here's the truth about the 501st.
**[07:59] ---**
Hartmann is yelled at every day.
**[08:02] ---**
Shirley is very motherly,
and is the second mom of the 501st."
**[08:08] ---**
This and this need censoring.
**[08:11] ---**
Let's erase these names, too.
**[08:12] ---**
We have to. It's our job.
**[08:14] ---**
History is made at night.
**[08:16] ---**
"Miyafuji Clinic"
**[08:17] ---**
It's from Yoshika!
**[08:19] ---**
She's very busy but seems to be doing well!
**[08:23] ---**
"Inspected"
**[08:23] ---**
Give the second letter
to Michiko after you read it.
**[08:26] ---**
It must be this one!
**[08:27] ---**
"Dear Michiko.
The 501st are Wo nde r ful."
**[08:28] ---**
Several days later, they sent
something making sure I was safe.
**[08:32] ---**
I'm not gonna die!
**[08:35] ---**
This is a present.
**[08:37] ---**
For me?
**[08:39] ---**
Because it's your birthday.
**[08:41] ---**
"Whew"
**[08:41] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[08:43] ---**
Hug!
**[08:43] ---**
"Hug"
**[08:44] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[08:47] ---**
Now we'll be together until death do us part.
**[08:50] ---**
What? I think it's too soon for a kiss.
**[08:54] ---**
Stop it!
**[08:55] ---**
Don't try to stop me, Miyafuji!
**[08:57] ---**
No, I'm talking to...
**[09:00] ---**
Hartmann!

**[09:02] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[09:04] ---**
Sanya, you should've told her no!
**[09:06] ---**
Sorry.
**[09:07] ---**
"Eila"
**[09:08] ---**
This is for you.
**[09:09] ---**
It's your birthday this
month too, after all...
**[09:12] ---**
Happy birthday, Eila.
**[09:14] ---**
Thank you for everything you do for me.
**[09:17] ---**
She's easy.
**[09:20] ---**
Is there anything you'd like me to cook?
**[09:23] ---**
Shall I make you a cake?
**[09:25] ---**
Sweets, huh?
**[09:27] ---**

"For Mio Sakamoto"
**[09:31] ---**
Right now I want some
of that salty Fuso cooking.
**[09:34] ---**
How about we take a photo?
**[09:36] ---**
It might be nice to remember
this peaceful time.
**[09:40] ---**
Oh, I see!
**[09:42] ---**
So we'd like to borrow your camera.
**[09:45] ---**
Okay.
**[09:46] ---**
But wait a second.

"Click Click"
**[09:48] ---**
"Whirr Whirr"
**[09:49] ---**
"Clack"
**[09:50] ---**
I put some new film in for you.
**[09:52] ---**
Thanks, Lynne!
**[09:54] ---**
She used all the shots she had left!
**[09:56] ---**
What's on that roll?
**[09:58] ---**
Okay, here I go!
**[10:03] ---**
We're out of film.
**[10:05] ---**
How do you develop it?
**[10:07] ---**
Lynne's room has a darkroom.
**[10:10] ---**
We'll develop it there.
**[10:11] ---**
Why does she have a darkroom?
**[10:13] ---**
I developed them!
**[10:16] ---**
Let's take a look.
**[10:17] ---**
Photography is fun, huh?
**[10:20] ---**
Right?
**[10:21] ---**
Want one?
**[10:22] ---**
Really?
**[10:24] ---**
First, we need to talk to Miyafuji.
**[10:28] ---**
She protested her innocence,
saying that these photos were a
**[10:32] ---**
mysterious window into the soul.
**[10:34] ---**
But someone else retook them.
**[10:36] ---**
"For Others"
**[12:09] ---**
"Michiko Yamakawa's
Strike Witches Classroom"
**[12:10] ---**
Hi everybody!
**[12:12] ---**
It's time for Michiko Yamakawa's
Strike Witches Classroom!
**[12:16] ---**
Today I'll introduce you to Lynne,
AKA Lynette Bishop!
**[12:22] ---**
She's from the Britannia Federation.
**[12:24] ---**
Her family is famous! Her parents are wealthy
and run a department store in London,
**[12:28] ---**
and both her mom and
older sister are witches.
**[12:34] ---**
But since she was a new witch
who joined the 501st
**[12:38] ---**
immediately after graduating training school,
**[12:42] ---**
at first she didn't do much of anything.
**[12:44] ---**
But after becoming friends with Yoshika,
**[12:47] ---**
the two of them began to win
more and more battles,
**[12:49] ---**
and now they're critical parts of their unit!
**[12:53] ---**
Her inherent ability stabilizes her shots,
**[12:56] ---**
making her a talented sniper.
**[12:59] ---**
When she aims at a Neuroi,
she's got a 100% chance of hitting it!
**[13:04] ---**
She's normally calm and peaceful,
**[13:07] ---**
but she has a strong heart
**[13:08] ---**
and is willing to sacrifice everything
for those she believes in.
**[13:12] ---**
The way she gets to be with
such a wonderful witch...
**[13:15] ---**
Yoshika is so amazing!
**[13:23] ---**
It's me, Michiko Yamakawa from Fuso.
**[13:25] ---**
The military has to do missions
at night too, of course!
**[13:28] ---**
I wonder if Yoshika is
staying up all night, too!
