[00:16] ---
    In 1944, the Gallia region
    of Europe was captured
[00:21] ---
    by an unknown enemy referred
    to by humankind as "Neurois."
[00:26] ---
    However, thanks to the actions of the
    501st Joint Fighter Wing that same year,
[00:31] ---
    the enemy Neurois were wiped
    out and Gallia was liberated.
[00:39] ---
    However, the battle is still far from over.
[00:46] ---
    "Spring, 1945-- Venezia airspace"
[01:03] ---
    Neuroi detected!
[01:04] ---
    Looks exactly like the humanoid form
    reported by the 501st last year!
[01:08] ---
    Confirmed here as well.
    Now commencing contact procedures!
[01:12] ---
    Understood!
[01:20] ---
    If this works and our attempt to
    communicate with the Neurois succeeds,
[01:24] ---
    we might be able to end this war.
[01:36] ---
    Wh-Why did a Neuroi beam
    shoot the Neuroi...?!
[01:41] ---
    What is that?
[01:44] ---
    A giant Neuroi hive suddenly
    appeared in the skies above Venezia,
[01:49] ---
    destroyed the old nest, and enveloped
    northern Romagna in the blink of an eye.
[01:54] ---
    Once again, humankind was forced
    into an intense fight with the Neurois.
[01:59] ---
    This is Takei... The mission has failed...
[02:05] ---
    I repeat... Operation Trajan has failed...
[02:15] ---
    Someday, someday I'll be able to fly
[02:21] ---
    through the promised skies with you again
[02:31] ---
    Some nights are so frustrating
    and painful that you can't sleep
[02:37] ---
    They happen to everyone
[02:42] ---
    Whenever you feel that way,
    call me-- I'll rush right over
[02:48] ---
    at the speed of sound
[02:53] ---
    Even if it's fate, I'll struggle against it
[02:58] ---
    Because, see, you always give me a smile
[03:03] ---
    Our dreams are still far from coming true
[03:08] ---
    but together we can make it happen,
    with our unbeatable courage
[03:15] ---
    Your tears sparkle and shine
[03:19] ---
    But if you use the magic of your smile
    to change them into wings
[03:26] ---
    I'm sure you'll be able to flutter them
[03:32] ---
    So go over the rainbow and further beyond
[03:44] ---
    Commence attack!
[04:32] ---
    Hyaaa!

    --Class Representative Miyafuji Yoshika.
[05:01] ---
    --Right!
[05:08] ---
    Wow!
[05:10] ---
    This is amazing! It's a
    shower of cherry blossoms!
[05:13] ---
    Hey, Michiko!
[05:17] ---
    Say, Yoshika...
[05:18] ---
    Even after graduating, are you still
    sure about not continuing school?
[05:23] ---
    Yeah... I'm going to take over
    the family business someday.
[05:27] ---
    I want to hurry and become
    a full-fledged doctor.
[05:34] ---
    I guess that means this is our
    last time walking home together...
[05:37] ---
    Hey, Michiko!
[05:40] ---
    Oh, Grandpa! Hi!
[05:43] ---
    Hi!
[05:48] ---
    Guess what? I start at a teacher's
    college in Yokohama in the spring!
[05:53] ---
    Wow! That's incredible, Michiko!
[05:55] ---
    Not really...
[05:58] ---
    She always did love to study,
    ever since she was little!
[06:02] ---
    You're going to be a teacher someday, then?
[06:04] ---
    You're going to be a doctor
    at your clinic too, right?
[06:07] ---
    Oh, yeah! Me, a doctor...
[06:13] ---
    Oh! There's a warship!
[06:15] ---
    Huh?!
[06:15] ---
    Wow! It's the Battleship Yamato!
[06:19] ---
    It's 263 meters long and has a
    maximum output of 153,000 horsepower!
[06:24] ---
    It's the flagship of the Allied fleet! Wow!
[06:28] ---
    It's so big!
[06:31] ---
    If I recall correctly, the papers said
    something about it voyaging to Europe.
[06:36] ---
    Europe... So that ship is going to Europe...
[06:46] ---
    Wh-What happened, Grandpa?!
[06:52] ---
    A bear!
[06:53] ---
    A bear?! So close to town?!
[06:56] ---
    Oh, no! It's hurt!
[06:59] ---
    Oh! Yoshika!
[07:01] ---
    S-Stop, you two! That's dangerous!
[07:06] ---
    It's okay. I'll fix you right up.
[07:20] ---
    You can do it, Yoshika!
[07:34] ---
    That must be its mother!
[07:36] ---
    Yoshika! Run!
[07:41] ---
    Wait... Just a little more...
[07:44] ---
    Just a little more!
[07:57] ---
    There! You're all better now!
[08:14] ---
    She's really something...
[08:16] ---
    Yoshika!
[08:18] ---
    Are you all right, Yoshika?!
[08:22] ---
    Yoshika?
[08:27] ---
    Whew, that was scary!
[08:33] ---
    Sheesh...

    "Miyafuji Medical Clinic--
    Treatment For All Ailments"
[08:41] ---
    Dad. I graduated from junior high school.
[08:46] ---
    I'm going to keep my promise to you now
[08:49] ---
    by working hard at this clinic and
    letting my gift be helpful to everyone.
[08:56] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto...
[08:59] ---
    It's already been half a year since
    the fighting in Britannia ended...
[09:13] ---
    It all began with this letter...
[09:17] ---
    Yoshika! Yoshika!
[09:20] ---
    What's wrong, Michiko?
[09:23] ---
    Oh! It'll be all right!
[09:36] ---
    Wow! Isn't that great, Michiko?!
[09:38] ---
    Yes! Thanks, Yoshika!
[09:40] ---
    Huh?
[09:48] ---
    That's...!
[09:53] ---
    Ouch!
[09:56] ---
    ...a Witch?!
[09:58] ---
    Umm, I'm Suwa Amaki of the
    47th Army Aviation Company!
[10:03] ---
    H-Hello.
[10:05] ---
    U-Umm, is Miyafuji Yoshika here?
[10:08] ---
    Y-Yes, that's me...
[10:10] ---
    Oh! What a relief!
[10:14] ---
    You have a letter from Dr. Miyafuji!
[10:17] ---
    Huh?!
[10:19] ---
    Mom! Grandma!
[10:22] ---
    What is this?
[10:23] ---
    Is it a picture of some sort?
[10:25] ---
    I haven't the slightest...
[10:27] ---
    Umm, what is this for?
[10:30] ---
    I was only given orders to deliver
    the letter; I don't know the details.
[10:36] ---
    I'm sorry...
[10:40] ---
    I know!
[10:41] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto used to work
    with Dad! She might know!
[10:45] ---
    Major Sakamoto of the Navy Academy?
[10:47] ---
    Yes! I'll go see her tomorrow!
[10:50] ---
    I'll come with you!
[11:16] ---
    It's finished!
[11:48] ---
    It's been a while since
    I last saw Ms. Sakamoto!
[11:51] ---
    You're amazing, Yoshika!
    They let you onto the base!
[11:55] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto did say that
    I'm technically a reserve officer.
[12:00] ---
    Oh. But isn't Ms. Sakamoto
    a really scary person?
[12:04] ---
    Not at all.
[12:05] ---
    She's really strict, but nice.
[12:08] ---
    Though she also said I
    shouldn't come here anymore...
[12:12] ---
    Huh? How come?
[12:14] ---
    I don't know.
[12:17] ---
    Oh, I think that's it.
[12:19] ---
    Here?
[12:20] ---
    Yeah. I'm sure this is
    where they said to wait...
[12:31] ---
    This is Ms. Sakamoto's Striker Unit...
[12:38] ---
    You fought with these on when
    you were with the Witches?
[12:43] ---
    Yeah. It brings back a lot of memories...
[12:48] ---
    Pardon my lateness.
[12:49] ---
    Mr. Hijikata!
[12:51] ---
    It's good to see you again.
[12:53] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:54] ---
    You came all this way, but the major
    has been on leave for a while now.
[12:58] ---
    Huh? On leave? Where did she go?
[13:01] ---
    I can't answer that.
[13:03] ---
    She left her teaching position at
    the Witch Academy early this year,
[13:06] ---
    but I stay in contact with
    her on a regular basis now.
[13:10] ---
    Umm, I received a letter
    from my father yesterday.
[13:14] ---
    From Dr. Miyafuji?!
[13:17] ---
    Your father passed away.
    How is this possible?
[13:21] ---
    I don't know, either.
[13:24] ---
    But Ms. Sakamoto knew my father
    well, so I thought she might know.
[13:29] ---
    Understood. I'll give this letter
    to the major when she returns.
[13:34] ---
    Okay! Thank you!
[13:37] ---
    That's great, Yoshika!
[13:38] ---
    Yeah!
[13:39] ---
    Ms. Miyafuji!
[13:41] ---
    It's good to see you again!
[13:43] ---
    Those sweet rice cakes
    you made were delicious!
[13:47] ---
    Please make some more!
[13:49] ---
    You're really popular, Yoshika!
[13:51] ---
    Th-That's not true...
[13:53] ---
    Petty Officer Hijikata!
[13:55] ---
    There's an emergency telegram
    from Gallian Command!
[13:57] ---
    Gallia?
[13:58] ---
    What is it?!
[13:59] ---
    Some sort of change has happened
    with the Neurois in Europe!
[14:02] ---
    What?!
[14:05] ---
    Neurois...
[14:08] ---
    "From: Witches stationed in Gallia.
[14:10] ---
    To: All commanders in the Allied Forces.
[14:12] ---
    Neurois suddenly appeared
    over Venezia yesterday.
[14:15] ---
    They are far more powerful
    than the previous ones
[14:18] ---
    and took Venezia the very same day.
[14:20] ---
    The 504th Joint Fighter Wing
    protecting northern Romagna
[14:24] ---
    skirmished with them, but suffered
    major damage and can no longer fight."
[14:29] ---
    Romagna's 504th Joint Fighter Wing?!
[14:32] ---
    Witches from the Fuso Navy are in that unit!
[14:36] ---
    Don't you have friends in Gallia, Yoshika?
[14:39] ---
    This is Hijikata of the Fuso Navy!
[14:42] ---
    What is the status of
    Romagna's 504th Fighter Wing?!
[14:46] ---
    This is Gallian Command!
[14:48] ---
    I'm Sergeant Lynette Bishop
    of the Britannian Air Force!
[14:51] ---
    Lynne!
[14:53] ---
    We don't know any details.
[14:55] ---
    We received a request for
    Witch reinforcements too,
[14:58] ---
    but we don't have enough Witches
    available to send to their aid.
[15:03] ---
    What? Just because you
    don't have many Witches...!
[15:06] ---
    So... we...
[15:10] ---
    What happened?! Do you
    read me?! Sergeant Lynette!
[15:13] ---
    No good! There's too much
    ionospheric disturbance! We've lost her!
[15:17] ---
    Damn! There's nothing we can do!
[15:18] ---
    Please! Try again! That girl is
    a really dear friend of mine!
[15:25] ---
    Try raising her again!
[15:26] ---
    I'll give it a shot!
[15:27] ---
    This is Yokosuka Base of the Fuso Navy!
[15:29] ---
    Gallian Command! Do you read?!
[15:31] ---
    --This is the Fuso Navy! Do you read?!
[15:32] ---
    --Lynne...
[15:34] ---
    Lynne! Can you hear me?!
    Say something! Lynne!
[15:43] ---
    Miyafuji! Why are you here?!
[15:45] ---
    M-Ms. Sakamoto... Ms. Sakamoto!
[15:49] ---
    Terrible news! It's Lynne!
    She says the Neurois are back!
[15:52] ---
    That is none of your concern!
[15:54] ---
    Yes, it is! Lynne is my friend!
[15:58] ---
    Yoshika...
[16:00] ---
    Friends... I see you're
    still the same as ever.
[16:04] ---
    But rest assured that the Fuso Navy
    will handle this crisis in Europe.
[16:09] ---
    Miyafuji. You aren't a Fuso soldier.
    You do not belong here.
[16:13] ---
    Leave, this instant!
[16:16] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto...
[16:31] ---
    The Fuso Navy will now commence an
    emergency operation to assist Europe.
[16:36] ---
    Understood!
[16:39] ---
    Another mysterious letter
    from the professor...
[16:42] ---
    Is it signaling the start of a new battle?
[16:46] ---
    Hijikata. Send this letter to the lab.
[16:48] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:51] ---
    So this is the latest model Shiden-kai?
[16:53] ---
    Yes. It has an even better magic engine
    output than your previous Zero model.
[16:58] ---
    But are you sure about this?
    You haven't tested it yet...
[17:01] ---
    I'm sure. I'm in a hurry, you see.
[17:18] ---
    Wow! What a big seaplane!
[17:23] ---
    Yeah...
[17:25] ---
    Ah, I see. It wouldn't even take
    that plane a week to reach Europe...
[17:35] ---
    That's... a Striker Unit! A new kind!
[17:39] ---
    What's the matter, Yoshika?
[17:41] ---
    She's planning to fly...
[17:43] ---
    Huh?
[17:44] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto plans to
    fight the Neurois again.
[17:48] ---
    Even though she can't use a shield anymore...
[17:51] ---
    Oh! Yoshika!
[17:53] ---
    Major. Why did you send Ms. Miyafuji home?
[17:56] ---
    --She was a hero in the previous battles...
[17:57] ---
    --Keep coming! Keep coming!
[18:02] ---
    She's already fought her share
    and accomplished her duties.
[18:08] ---
    Nothing more.
[18:12] ---
    The Striker liftoff unit is now loaded!
[18:15] ---
    H8K is now ready for liftoff!
[18:17] ---
    Liftoff!
[18:28] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[18:38] ---
    Ms. Miyafuji!
[18:41] ---
    H-Hold on...!
[18:52] ---
    Miyafuji Yoshika, preparing for liftoff!
[18:54] ---
    Huh?!
[18:59] ---
    Stop, Ms. Miyafuji! No one
    gave the orders for this!
[19:02] ---
    Please! Please let me go with Ms. Sakamoto!
[19:05] ---
    B-But...
[19:07] ---
    Yoshika!
[19:15] ---
    Michiko...
[19:24] ---
    Michiko. I have to go...
[19:30] ---
    Go on! Be careful, okay?
[19:34] ---
    Right! I'll be back!
[19:38] ---
    Open the front hatch!
[19:40] ---
    Understood!
[19:41] ---
    All right!
[19:50] ---
    S-So much magic energy...!
[19:52] ---
    Path is clear!
[19:53] ---
    Wind is good!
[19:54] ---
    Striker Unit clamping bolts are off!
[19:58] ---
    All ready for takeoff!
[20:00] ---
    Taking off!
[20:14] ---
    What are those cherry blossoms?
[20:16] ---
    It couldn't be...!
[20:20] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[20:23] ---
    What are you doing, Miyafuji?!
    Turn back this instant!
[20:25] ---
    Please, Ms. Sakamoto! Take me with you!
[20:28] ---
    No! You have your own duties
    to attend to in this country!
[20:32] ---
    But, I... I want to protect people after all!
[20:38] ---
    Protect...?
[20:46] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto?
[20:49] ---
    Come, Miyafuji!
[20:53] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:06] ---
    "One week later"
[21:10] ---
    "Coastal area of the Romagna region"
[21:11] ---
    I'm starving...
[21:14] ---
    Want a canned ration?
[21:15] ---
    I hate Liberion rations.
    I want a yummy cooked meal...
[21:21] ---
    Don't be crazy. You know
    we can't get supplies here.
[21:26] ---
    I hate this! I want Yoshika's cooking!
[21:29] ---
    --I want it now!
[21:30] ---
    --Throwing a tantrum
    will only make you hungrier.
[21:39] ---
    This is Yeager!
[21:42] ---
    What?! Really?! Understood! We're on our way!
[21:46] ---
    Good news, Lucchini!
    We're getting supplies from Fuso!
[21:51] ---
    Hooray! Real food's coming!
[21:53] ---
    Currently above the Adriatic Sea!
[21:56] ---
    We will reach the Romagna base shortly!
[21:59] ---
    Hmm.
[22:00] ---
    Whew, we can finally get off...
[22:03] ---
    You've gotten soft, Miyafuji.
[22:05] ---
    Already complaining about
    a simple flight like this?
[22:07] ---
    I'm sorry...
[22:09] ---
    Oh, yes. Did you find out what
    that letter from my father was?
[22:14] ---
    No. But it likely has something
    to do with his research.
[22:19] ---
    I passed it on to the engineering team.
[22:21] ---
    It must've arrived so late due
    to censorship-related issues.
[22:24] ---
    Again?
[22:27] ---
    Radar has picked up an unidentified
    aircraft! It's approaching rapidly!
[22:30] ---
    What?!
[22:37] ---
    What's happening?!
[22:38] ---
    Unidentified craft is attacking!
    Engine ♪1 has been hit!
[22:41] ---
    Unidentified craft is getting even closer!
[22:47] ---
    It can't be...!
[22:50] ---
    A Neuroi...
[22:51] ---
    "To Be Continued"
[22:55] ---
    Even in wide-open skies where
    being alone might make you cry
[23:00] ---
    I won't run away, I'll stand up to it head-on
[23:03] ---
    Together with my friends
[23:06] ---
    Over Sky
[23:18] ---
    If you've felt wind in the palms
    of your hands, you'll be all right
[23:26] ---
    Let's have faith and jump
[23:30] ---
    With just one hop we can reach
    the clouds floating in the distance
[23:35] ---
    I never imagined how exhilarating it was
[23:41] ---
    We're going to protect everyone's future
    using all the courage we have
[23:49] ---
    Now hold tight and take flight
[23:53] ---
    Even in spacious skies where
    being alone might make you cry
[23:58] ---
    As long as you have friends,
    you can smile-- see, it isn't a miracle
[24:05] ---
    I promised and I made up my mind
[24:10] ---
    So I won't run, I'll stand up to it head-on
[24:13] ---
    For an even more wonderful world
[24:19] ---
    Over Sky
[24:25] ---
    Once more, the young girl casts
    her body into the fires of war.
[24:29] ---
    She is not alone, however,
    for she has friends she can trust.
