*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.*
**[00:48] ---**

"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] ---**
