    In the spring of 1945, a new type of Neuroi
[00:18] ---
    suddenly appeared in the skies above Venezia.
[00:23] ---
    Fuso Witches Miyafuji Yoshika
    and Sakamoto Mio left for Europe
[00:28] ---
    to stand up to this new menace.
[00:31] ---
    However, just before their arrival,
[00:34] ---
    a Neuroi appeared before
    the girls and attacked.

    "Episode 2: The Legendary Witches"
[02:37] ---
    Neuroi confirmed! Distance,
    approximately 12,000!
[02:41] ---
    Damn! They've extended
    their reach this far already?!
[02:54] ---
    Hijikata!
[02:55] ---
    Mr. Hijikata!
[03:06] ---
    Her magic energy is stable now.
[03:08] ---
    You've really improved, Miyafuji!
[03:12] ---
    We need to evade for now!
    Let's drop altitude to lose them!
[03:15] ---
    Understood!
[03:22] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[03:23] ---
    How does it look?! Can we shake them?!
[03:26] ---
    We'll do everything we can!
[03:27] ---
    We're counting on you!
[03:28] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[03:30] ---
    Did you think I was going to go out there?
[03:33] ---
    Don't worry!
[03:34] ---
    We're going to evade for now and
    wait for local Witch reinforcements!
[03:38] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:44] ---
    Neuroi spotted dead-ahead!
[03:47] ---
    All ships to 3rd Battle Speed!
    Bear for the enemy Neuroi!
[03:50] ---
    All ships to 3rd Battle Speed! Aye!
[03:53] ---
    Prepare for battle!
[03:55] ---
    Commence fire!
[04:09] ---
    Witness the power of the
    anti-large-Neuroi incendiary shells!
[04:13] ---
    Ready the armor-piercing shells!
[04:17] ---
    What's that?!
[04:20] ---
    Fire armor-piercing shells!
[04:28] ---
    Did that get it?!
[04:29] ---
    Wow...
[04:30] ---
    It's no good.
[04:31] ---
    Those armaments can't take
    down a large-sized Neuroi!
[04:35] ---
    Its size makes it seem like it's taking
    damage, but they aren't reaching its core!
[04:44] ---
    It took out a destroyer!
[04:47] ---
    Where are the Romagna Witches?!
[04:49] ---
    Major! I requested help from
    Romagna's 1st Fighter Wing,
[04:52] ---
    but they say we're out of their flight range!
[04:55] ---
    Out of range?!
[04:59] ---
    Ahh! Another ship!
[05:01] ---
    They're taking too long to
    escape! They're sitting ducks!
[05:04] ---
    The nearby 504th Fighter Wing is
    unable to fight after yesterday's battle!
[05:10] ---
    There are no Witch units that
    can arrive within thirty minutes!
[05:12] ---
    Thirty minutes?! We'll be wiped out in five!
[05:16] ---
    Wiped out...?!
[05:38] ---
    Do it, Hijikata!
[05:39] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:53] ---
    Major!
[05:59] ---
    Major! Are you hurt?!
[06:01] ---
    My shield doesn't even have the
    strength left to stop a tiny bullet...
[06:07] ---
    Major...
[06:09] ---
    I have no way of blocking
    a Neuroi beam now...
[06:27] ---
    Hijikata. I'm going on a
    journey for a little while.
[06:32] ---
    I'm going out!
[06:34] ---
    Understood! Prepare for launch!
[06:36] ---
    Shiden Model 53 is all ready to go!
[06:39] ---
    No! You can't!
[06:42] ---
    Move, Miyafuji!
[06:43] ---
    No! You can't create shields anymore!
[06:48] ---
    Please! Don't fly!
[06:52] ---
    I recall you stopping me like this before...
[06:56] ---
    Don't worry, Miyafuji. I have no
    intention of losing my life here.
[07:02] ---
    But...
[07:03] ---
    It's true that I lost the ability to
    use shields when I turned twenty.
[07:08] ---
    But now I have the latest
    Shiden-kai unit... and this.
[07:12] ---
    You've saved my life once before.
    I won't throw it away that easily.
[07:17] ---
    Don't worry, Miyafuji. I can fight.
[07:20] ---
    Then I have a request! I want to fight too!
[07:29] ---
    All right! Let's go, Miyafuji!
[07:32] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[07:33] ---
    Miyafuji! Take the lead and draw the
    Neuroi away from the Venezian fleet!
[07:37] ---
    I'll go after the core from the rear!
[07:39] ---
    Got it!
[07:51] ---
    Fly, Miyafuji!
[07:53] ---
    Here I go!
[08:03] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[08:04] ---
    It only hit the liftoff unit!
    Look ahead! The next one's coming!
[08:12] ---
    Whoa!
[08:13] ---
    That's an enormous shield!
[08:15] ---
    This is how powerful she is!
[08:17] ---
    Major! The magic charger has been
    damaged! The Shiden-kai can't fly!
[08:22] ---
    What?!
[08:24] ---
    Food! Food!
[08:26] ---
    Supplies! Supplies!
[08:28] ---
    Fuso food!
[08:29] ---
    Piping hot food!
[08:31] ---
    Rice and octopus carpaccio!
[08:34] ---
    Blech. No octopus for me, thank you...
[08:38] ---
    Huh? But octopus is yummy...!
[08:41] ---
    How can you eat it? It's
    all squirmy and stuff...
[08:46] ---
    Being squirmy and sticky
    is what makes it great!
[08:52] ---
    I'll never understand that...
[08:55] ---
    Calling all units in the area!
    This is Venezian 1st Squadron!
[08:59] ---
    Currently locked in combat with a Neuroi!
    Request immediate assistance!
[09:03] ---
    The location is A9...
[09:04] ---
    Hear that? Let's hurry, Lucchini!
[09:07] ---
    Roger!
[09:10] ---
    It's too dangerous, Major!
[09:12] ---
    You need to be patient and wait
    until the Shiden-kai is repaired!
[09:15] ---
    Do you have any idea how many
    people will be hurt while we wait?!
[09:22] ---
    It would seem I've caught
    something from Miyafuji.
[09:27] ---
    The Venier has been severely damaged!
[09:29] ---
    Engine output falling rapidly!
    At this rate, it'll be dead in the water!
[09:32] ---
    Damn! Is there nothing we can do?!
[09:35] ---
    Commander! There's a Witch!
[09:37] ---
    What?!
[09:46] ---
    That's...!
[09:47] ---
    A sun-and-moon emblem with a
    white background! It's a Fuso Witch!
[09:52] ---
    Fuso?!
[09:54] ---
    It's a Witch! A Witch is here!
[09:55] ---
    Witch reinforcements!
[09:56] ---
    What unit is she from?!
[10:03] ---
    Incredible!
[10:04] ---
    Please get as far away as
    you can while I keep it busy!
[10:08] ---
    Absurd! We can't leave you here alone!
[10:11] ---
    Commander! We have no
    means of fighting back now!
[10:19] ---
    All right. We would only get in the way.
[10:23] ---
    All ships, bring about! Full speed retreat!
[10:30] ---
    Thank goodness...
[10:36] ---
    H-Hurry and get away...!
[10:39] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[10:41] ---
    Hijikata! Head straight for it now!
[10:43] ---
    Understood!
[10:58] ---
    Look out!
[11:05] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[11:09] ---
    Special technique! Reppuzan!
[11:30] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[11:37] ---
    Sorry for arriving late, Miyafuji.
    The Shiden-kai was damaged.
[11:42] ---
    Still, that was too reckless!
[11:44] ---
    See? I told you I can still
    fight without a shield!
[11:49] ---
    As long as I have this Reppumaru!
[11:52] ---
    Wow... Ms. Sakamoto really
    is an amazing person...!
[11:58] ---
    Incidentally, Miyafuji. What do you
    think of the name "Reppumaru"?
[12:03] ---
    I spent all night thinking it up, but...
[12:06] ---
    Huh? I-I think it's cool...
[12:08] ---
    I see! It's cool, huh? All right, then!
[12:14] ---
    Shirley! Look!
[12:16] ---
    Yeah. Those are Neuroi fragments...
[12:19] ---
    The Venezian fleet must've
    beaten it! Not too shabby!
[12:26] ---
    But I still sense a Neuroi presence...
[12:29] ---
    You mean there are still more?
[12:36] ---
    Well done, Major! There was no
    need to use the Shiden-kai after all!
[12:41] ---
    It was almost too easy...
[12:45] ---
    It probably only feels that way
    because you've grown stronger!
[12:49] ---
    I hope so...
[13:01] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[13:03] ---
    The Neuroi is regenerating?!
[13:25] ---
    That can't be! The core is alive!
[13:27] ---
    I'll go!
[13:28] ---
    Miyafuji! The core is in the tip
    of the regenerating part!
[13:32] ---
    Blast it open and finish it off!
[13:33] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:41] ---
    What?! I see! So that's its design...!
[13:44] ---
    Miyafuji! Its core is moving!
[13:47] ---
    It's on the right tip now!
    Don't let it get away!
[13:49] ---
    R-Right!
[13:55] ---
    Damn! It's dodging her shots!
[13:57] ---
    And it's regenerating
    exceptionally fast... This is bad!
[14:01] ---
    Miyafuji! The core keeps moving
    just before your shots hit!
[14:04] ---
    Our only choice is to launch a
    multiple, simultaneous attack!
[14:07] ---
    Multiple? Simultaneous?
[14:09] ---
    You can't do it by yourself!
    Hold on! I'm coming!
[14:13] ---
    What's the Shiden-kai's status?!
[14:14] ---
    Five minutes should do it!
[14:16] ---
    It only needs to fly! You have three minutes!
[14:23] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[14:31] ---
    Not good! Miyafuji's magic
    energy is at its limit!
[14:34] ---
    I-I don't have enough to
    protect them for much longer...!
[14:46] ---
    Miyafuji!
[14:47] ---
    You can't, Miyafuji!
[14:54] ---
    There it is!
[14:59] ---
    Wait!
[15:00] ---
    Miyafuji! Behind you!
[15:07] ---
    Miyafuji!
[15:19] ---
    I-I have to put my shield up...
[15:30] ---
    Could it be?!
[15:31] ---
    Yahoo!
[15:34] ---
    Shirley!
[15:38] ---
    Ciao, Yoshika!
[15:40] ---
    Lucchini!
[15:41] ---
    Did you see?! Every shot of mine hit it!
[15:46] ---
    What's with this Neuroi?!
    It's really tough-skinned!
[15:49] ---
    Shirley! Lucchini! What are you doing here?
[15:53] ---
    That's what we should ask you!
[15:54] ---
    I don't think there's time for that!
[15:57] ---
    Wha...?! My shots didn't hurt it at all?
[16:01] ---
    It regenerates really fast!
[16:03] ---
    We don't have enough firepower!
[16:09] ---
    An anti-armor rifle!
[16:11] ---
    Which means...!
[16:13] ---
    Lynne!
[16:15] ---
    Yoshika!
[16:16] ---
    Lynne!
[16:20] ---
    You're all right! Thank goodness!
[16:23] ---
    Yeah! I just arrived here from Gallia!
[16:27] ---
    This is no time for emotionalism!
[16:29] ---
    Perrine!
[16:36] ---
    Rockets?!
[16:37] ---
    Look!
[16:41] ---
    Eila!
[16:42] ---
    Sanya!
[16:44] ---
    All right!
[16:46] ---
    Okay, I'll go on ahead.
[16:48] ---
    Right.
[16:57] ---
    It's them...!
[16:58] ---
    Are the repairs finished?!
[17:00] ---
    One more minute!
[17:01] ---
    Enemy Neuroi is a mobile-core type!
[17:04] ---
    Regeneration speed is more than
    twice that of a standard model!
[17:07] ---
    We just hafta destroy it
    quicker than it can regenerate!
[17:10] ---
    Sheesh. I'd finally managed to get
    some time off with Chris, too...
[17:15] ---
    You were the one most raring to go, you know.
[17:18] ---
    I'm going ahead!
[17:20] ---
    W-Wait!
[17:21] ---
    They're here!
[17:22] ---
    It's them!
[17:24] ---
    Commander Mina!
[17:26] ---
    Ms. Barkhorn!
[17:27] ---
    Ms. Hartmann!
[17:30] ---
    Take the sides!
[17:31] ---
    Understood!
[17:33] ---
    Lt. Colonel Mina! All-out assault!
[17:35] ---
    I know! Caesar Formation!
[17:38] ---
    Understood!
[17:43] ---
    Major! The Shiden-kai is ready!
[17:45] ---
    All right!
[17:52] ---
    Output is normal!
[17:53] ---
    Sakamoto Mio... Taking off!
[18:00] ---
    Commence attack!
[18:49] ---
    Hyaaa!
[18:53] ---
    The core is out!
[18:57] ---
    Leave it to me!
[18:58] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[19:02] ---
    Mio!
[19:02] ---
    Don't worry about me!
[19:05] ---
    What kind of flight path is that?!
[19:07] ---
    She's dodging all the attacks!
[19:09] ---
    It's like you, Eila...
[19:12] ---
    No good! It's going to hit her!
[19:13] ---
    Major!
[19:15] ---
    Slice it apart, Reppumaru!
[19:18] ---
    Take this!
[19:21] ---
    Reppuzan!
[19:31] ---
    --Whoa! With only one hit...!
[19:32] ---
    --All right!
[19:35] ---
    Major! You're always so amazing!
[19:37] ---
    I've never seen anyone
    cut a Neuroi beam before!
[19:41] ---
    Maybe no one's ever dared to try it?
[19:50] ---
    There is nothing a Witch cannot do!
[19:57] ---
    So those are the Strike Witches...
[19:59] ---
    Huh?! The same Witch
    squad that freed Gallia?!
[20:04] ---
    Yes. The 501st Joint Fighter Wing.
[20:08] ---
    The legendary Witches have
    descended upon the Adriatic Sea...!
[20:22] ---
    Yoshika!
[20:23] ---
    Lynne! I'm so glad you're all right!
[20:26] ---
    Yeah! You came for me!
[20:32] ---
    I never imagined Miyafuji would come here...!
[20:35] ---
    Weren't you two supposed
    to be in Africa, though?
[20:37] ---
    We were worried about
    Romagna, so we rushed here!
[20:40] ---
    Umm, well, we were
    supposed to leave for Suomus,
[20:44] ---
    but we took the wrong train and
    ended up at the Adriatic Sea...
[20:48] ---
    Eila's fortunetelling said
    there was trouble here, so...
[20:51] ---
    That's an incredible sword...
[20:53] ---
    It's the Reppumaru. I infused it
    with magic each time I hammered it.
[20:58] ---
    The sword has been
    instilled with an enchantment
[21:01] ---
    which essentially turns the blade
    itself into a powerful shield.
[21:05] ---
    Still, don't you think
    this is a little reckless?
[21:09] ---
    I want to fly. Just like her...
[21:15] ---
    So you have no intentions
    of stepping down after all...
[21:19] ---
    No.
[21:21] ---
    Understood!
[21:25] ---
    I'll now read our orders from General
    Headquarters of the Allied Forces.
[21:29] ---
    "Once the members of the 501st
    have returned to active duty,
[21:32] ---
    you are to go to the Adriatic Sea
    and intercept and destroy
[21:36] ---
    the new Neuroi that has invaded Romagna.
[21:38] ---
    We will be sending the necessary
    equipment and materials.
[21:42] ---
    Until then, ask the local commanding
    officers for anything you require."
[21:50] ---
    They sure played their cards right.
[21:52] ---
    Major General Galland signed this herself.
[21:55] ---
    Or was forced to, anyway.
[21:58] ---
    You're acting disgraceful, Hartmann.
[22:00] ---
    Orders are orders,
    regardless of how they are given.
[22:03] ---
    Yes, yes...
[22:05] ---
    Hey, Lynne. What does all this mean?
[22:08] ---
    Umm...
[22:11] ---
    I, Lieutenant Colonel Mina Wilcke...
[22:15] ---
    ...Major Sakamoto Mio...
[22:17] ---
    ...Captain Gertrud Barkhorn...
[22:20] ---
    ...Captain Charlotte Yeager...
[22:22] ---
    ...Lieutenant Erica Hartmann...
[22:25] ---
    ...Lieutenant Sanya Litvyak...
[22:27] ---
    ...Lieutenant Perrine Clostermann...
[22:30] ---
    ...Ensign Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen...
[22:33] ---
    ...Ensign Francesca Lucchini...
[22:36] ---
    ...Master Sergeant Lynette Bishop...
[22:38] ---
    ...Sergeant Miyafuji Yoshika...
[22:45] ---
    The 501st Joint Fighter Wing--
    the Strike Witches-- is hereby reformed!
[22:51] ---
    Understood!
[22:51] ---
