[00:17] ---
    After a new maelstrom
    of war broke out in Europe,
[00:20] ---
    the Witches that once battled
    Neurois over Britannia
[00:23] ---
    gathered from around the world.
[00:25] ---
    These girls reformed the
    501st Joint Fighter Wing
[00:30] ---
    and took to the sky once more
    to drive out the Neurois.
[00:38] ---
    Someday, someday I'll be able to fly
[00:44] ---
    through the promised skies with you again
[00:54] ---
    Some nights are so frustrating
    and painful that you can't sleep
[01:00] ---
    They happen to everyone
[01:05] ---
    Whenever you feel that way,
    call me-- I'll rush right over
[01:11] ---
    at the speed of sound
[01:16] ---
    Even if it's fate, I'll struggle against it
[01:21] ---
    Because, see, you always give me a smile
[01:26] ---
    Our dreams are still far from coming true
[01:31] ---
    but together we can make it happen,
    with our unbeatable courage
[01:38] ---
    Your tears sparkle and shine
[01:42] ---
    But if you use the magic of your smile
    to change them into wings
[01:49] ---
    I'm sure you'll be able to flutter them
[01:55] ---
    So go over the rainbow and further beyond
[02:06] ---
    "Episode 3: That Which We Can Do"
[02:16] ---
    These supplies from Fuso
    are a life-saver. Thank you!
[02:21] ---
    I read the report. Was what it said true?
[02:26] ---
    Yes...
[02:29] ---
    It looked like we were going to be
    able to make contact with the Neuroi...
[02:40] ---
    But, in the end, we couldn't
    reach an understanding.
[02:44] ---
    Even more vicious Neurois appeared...
[02:51] ---
    Be careful, Mio.
[02:53] ---
    Yes. I'd like our next meeting to
    be one in a peaceful world, Junko.
[03:00] ---
    Yes...
[03:05] ---
    Let's go, Miyafuji!
[03:06] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:10] ---
    They made contact with a Neuroi?
[03:12] ---
    Technically, they tried to, but failed.
[03:17] ---
    Just before contact, a new Neuroi appeared
[03:20] ---
    and obliterated the humanoid Neuroi.
[03:23] ---
    A Neuroi attacked a Neuroi?
[03:26] ---
    Why?
[03:27] ---
    I don't know.
[03:28] ---
    All we do know is that only Captain Takei
[03:32] ---
    and a handful of others
    made it out all right.
[03:37] ---
    The 504th Wing is in the
    process of being reformed,
[03:41] ---
    but it will take time to
    assemble more Witches.
[03:44] ---
    In the meantime, the Neurois are
    moving south, from Venezia to Romagna.
[03:49] ---
    Ground forces are pushing back, but once
    the Neurois launch a serious attack,
[03:54] ---
    only we Strike Witches will
    be able to stand up to them.
[03:58] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto! I'll fight!
    I'll fight to protect Romagna!
[04:03] ---
    Excellent! I'm glad to hear it, Miyafuji!
[04:06] ---
    So let's hurry back and start training!
[04:08] ---
    Huh? Yes, ma'am!
[04:25] ---
    They're clearly out of shape...
[04:28] ---
    Those three did leave the military
    after the fighting in Britannia ended.
[04:32] ---
    They've been out of practice
    for over half a year.
[04:35] ---
    They had a lot of problems during
    their morning flight training too!
[04:46] ---
    Major! It's too dangerous to send
    them into live combat like this!
[04:51] ---
    Indeed...
[04:53] ---
    Get up, you two!
[04:56] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[04:57] ---
    Major...!
[05:00] ---
    Miyafuji! Lynne! Perrine!
[05:03] ---
    You're going to start over from the basics!
[05:05] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[05:14] ---
    That's it.
[05:19] ---
    Are you sure this is the training ground?
[05:22] ---
    This is definitely the place,
    according to the major's map.
[05:27] ---
    But there's no one here.
[05:29] ---
    Yoshika. Look up there...
[05:36] ---
    A Neuroi!
[05:37] ---
    Who're you callin' a Neuroi?!
[05:39] ---
    It talked!
[05:41] ---
    Barging into people's yards with
    nary a hello! Kids these days...
[05:49] ---
    H-Hello...!
[05:50] ---
    Say, are you Anna Ferrara?
[05:54] ---
    That's right.
[05:56] ---
    Umm, Major Sakamoto
    gave us orders to train here!
[06:00] ---
    She told us not to return until
    we get a passing grade here!
[06:05] ---
    For now, take those things off.
[06:12] ---
    A bucket?
[06:13] ---
    All right, you'll start by gathering
    water for tonight's supper and bath.
[06:20] ---
    We're gathering water?
[06:21] ---
    Let's see...
[06:23] ---
    If you're looking for the
    well, it's over there.
[06:27] ---
    Huh?! That far away?!
[06:29] ---
    Whoa...
[06:30] ---
    We're in the middle of the sea here.
    That's the only place to get water.
[06:34] ---
    Oh! But if we wear our Strikers...!
[06:37] ---
    Oh, right!
[06:38] ---
    Yes! We can fly there in the
    blink of an eye with our Strikers!
[06:44] ---
    Who said you're allowed to use them?!
[06:47] ---
    Huh?
[06:49] ---
    Here. Use these.
[06:52] ---
    Wait, aren't those...
[06:53] ---
    ...brooms?
[07:01] ---
    Here we go!
[07:18] ---
    Th-This hurts...
[07:19] ---
    I-It's digging into me...
[07:34] ---
    Quit hanging around the ground!
[07:37] ---
    You'd best get flying if you want
    to be back in time for supper!
[07:46] ---
    What a sorry lot. It's ridiculous
    that they're Witches.
[07:51] ---
    You can't balance because
    these things are too big!
[07:59] ---
    How long are you gonna spin?
[08:01] ---
    A-Ask the broom...!
[08:10] ---
    Oh, not too shabby.
[08:12] ---
    Th-This is nothing for a Witch!
[08:20] ---
    P-Piece of cake...
[08:22] ---
    Oh? Is that so?
[08:26] ---
    I-It's...
[08:29] ---
    ...r-rubbing against...!
[08:34] ---
    At this rate, I don't think you girls
    will ever get passing marks...
[08:38] ---
    Y-You can't be serious!
[08:41] ---
    Using brooms for Witch training
    in this day and age...!
[08:45] ---
    There's such a thing as being
    too outdated! I refuse to do this!
[08:49] ---
    Oh? Already giving up?
[08:52] ---
    Perrine...
[08:54] ---
    Ms. Anna!
[08:55] ---
    Umm, I want to know too!
[08:58] ---
    Will this training really make us stronger?!
[09:02] ---
    Is growing stronger what you want?
[09:05] ---
    Yes!
[09:06] ---
    Why?!
[09:07] ---
    I want to get stronger and protect
    this world from the Neurois!
[09:12] ---
    I want to help people in need!
[09:15] ---
    Yoshika...
[09:21] ---
    Watch.
[09:30] ---
    Ms. Anna...
[09:32] ---
    She left...
[09:36] ---
    Hmph! She can stay gone for all I care!
[09:40] ---
    Oh! She's coming back!
[09:51] ---
    Wow! There's so much of it!
[09:54] ---
    Y-You did this all by yourself?!
[09:56] ---
    That's amazing!
[09:58] ---
    But will this really make us stronger?
[10:01] ---
    Hard to believe?
[10:03] ---
    Your own instructor trained here to
    become a full-fledged Witch, you know.
[10:10] ---
    Huh? Our instructor...?
[10:12] ---
    You mean Major Sakamoto?!
[10:13] ---
    Yes! She's a very disciplined girl!
[10:16] ---
    She respected me from the very start
    and always trained her hardest!
[10:22] ---
    Thanks to that, she matured
    into a truly wonderful Witch!
[10:27] ---
    Wow!
[10:29] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto did this training too?!
[10:31] ---
    U-Umm...
[10:33] ---
    Wh-Which broom did Major Sakamoto use...?
[10:37] ---
    The one you threw aside earlier.
[10:39] ---
    What?! That one?!
[10:41] ---
    Oh! Oh, my! Oh, my!
[10:44] ---
    Ah! This is the broom the major used!
[10:49] ---
    What's with her?
[11:06] ---
    Wish we could've had a bath...
[11:17] ---
    "S-Stupid Hag"...?
[11:20] ---
    Is that...? It's Ms. Sakamoto's handwriting!
[11:58] ---
    I-I-It's rubbing against...!
[12:02] ---
    Sheesh. Come here, you three!
[12:06] ---
    The three of you have enough magic power.
[12:09] ---
    What you don't have is control.
[12:11] ---
    You need to learn to control what
    the machines used to do for you!
[12:21] ---
    Th-That hurts, Ms. Anna!
[12:23] ---
    It hurts because you're
    weighing against the broom!
[12:26] ---
    Same for you!
[12:29] ---
    And you!
[12:34] ---
    Listen! Until now, you've always
    relied on your Striker Unit machines!
[12:40] ---
    You need to start by forgetting that
    and becoming one with your brooms!
[12:44] ---
    Become one?
[12:46] ---
    You don't try to ride the broom;
    you treat it as an extension of your body!
[12:51] ---
    Extension of our body?
[12:52] ---
    Then imagine taking a step
    forward with your own legs!
[12:56] ---
    Put magic into that thought!
[13:00] ---
    For a real Witch, it's nothing at all!
[13:03] ---
    Our own legs...
[13:14] ---
    One step forward...
[13:21] ---
    I-I'm flying!
[13:24] ---
    I am too!
[13:26] ---
    I-I'm flying!
[13:37] ---
    Wow! This is amazing, Lynne! Perrine!
[13:41] ---
    We're actually flying on brooms!
[13:43] ---
    Yeah!
[13:43] ---
    B-But of course!
[13:46] ---
    The wind somehow feels different
    than when we fly with Striker Units...
[13:51] ---
    It feels so nice!
[13:53] ---
    Yeah! It feels nice!
[13:55] ---
    B-But, it still... r-rubs a little...
[14:00] ---
    How long are you going to play around?!
[14:03] ---
    You'd better hurry and gather
    water before evening comes!
[14:06] ---
    W-We were just about to go anyway!
[14:09] ---
    We'll be back!
[14:20] ---
    Okay, I guess that's enough for today.
[14:23] ---
    We did it!
[14:24] ---
    That's great!
[14:25] ---
    Th-This was nothing at all!
[14:30] ---
    Wow!
[14:33] ---
    We humbly accept this meal!
[14:44] ---
    Delicious!
[14:48] ---
    Eat and then take a bath!
[14:55] ---
    Aww, it's like a puddle...
[14:58] ---
    Well, we didn't bring very much water.
[15:01] ---
    Oh, right. Tomorrow, we'll have
    to try hard to fill it all the way.
[15:05] ---
    Yeah!
[15:08] ---
    You're not coming in, Perrine?
[15:11] ---
    O-Of course I am...
[15:21] ---
    That smarts...
[15:24] ---
    Whew, you scared me!
[15:26] ---
    Are you okay, Perrine?
[15:34] ---
    This is a nice breeze...
[15:35] ---
    Yeah.
[15:36] ---
    It's amazing.
[15:38] ---
    Witches all used brooms to fly
    before Strikers were invented, right?
[15:42] ---
    My mom said she used to use one too.
[15:46] ---
    But will flying on brooms
    really make us any stronger?
[15:51] ---
    You're certainly skeptical.
[15:54] ---
    Oh! Ms. Anna!
[15:56] ---
    You have an early morning tomorrow.
    What are you doing out here?
[15:59] ---
    We were looking at the bridge.
[16:01] ---
    The bridge? Whatever for?
[16:04] ---
    Well, umm, we were wondering
    why you have this bridge,
[16:09] ---
    since you can fly on a broomstick so well...
[16:15] ---
    My daughter can't use magic, you see.
[16:19] ---
    Huh?
[16:20] ---
    Your daughter?
[16:21] ---
    She married a long time ago,
[16:24] ---
    but she brings my grandchildren
    here to visit a few times a year.
[16:28] ---
    They use this bridge to come across.
[16:31] ---
    Where does your daughter live?
[16:33] ---
    Venezia.
[16:34] ---
    Venezia?!
[16:35] ---
    The Neurois have taken over there...!
[16:39] ---
    It's okay. I received word that
    the whole family made it out safely.
[16:44] ---
    They're on their way here as we speak.
[16:49] ---
    I hope they arrive soon!
[16:51] ---
    Yeah!
[16:52] ---
    Yes!
[16:54] ---
    Now get to bed! You have
    training in the morning!
[17:07] ---
    I guess we should've carried
    it this way from the start.
[17:10] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[17:12] ---
    Let's fill the bath all the way up today!
[17:14] ---
    Yeah! Up to our shoulders! Okay, Perrine?
[17:19] ---
    Huh? P-Personally, either
    way is fine with me...
[17:28] ---
    What is that?!
[17:29] ---
    Don't tell me it's...
[17:30] ---
    A Neuroi!
[17:33] ---
    According to observation team reports,
[17:36] ---
    it's traveling in a straight line
    along the Adriatic Sea coastline,
[17:39] ---
    moving from its initial location
    in Venezia toward Bari.
[17:42] ---
    It must be the type of Neuroi
    that only moves in straight lines.
[17:49] ---
    So the intercept location
    will be above the sea...
[17:52] ---
    It'll skirt the continent
    a little until then,
[17:55] ---
    but probably won't go ashore.
[17:57] ---
    It looks like we won't need
    to scramble the squad.
[18:01] ---
    No, wait!
[18:03] ---
    This is...
[18:04] ---
    ...not good!
[18:05] ---
    Mrs. Anna! Bad news!
    A Neuroi is coming this way!
[18:09] ---
    I just received word from your base.
[18:12] ---
    Did they dispatch someone?!
[18:15] ---
    They said that anyone they
    send won't make it in time.
[18:21] ---
    Looks like our only choice
    is to abandon this house.
[18:24] ---
    You can't be serious!
[18:30] ---
    It's coming straight this way!
[18:32] ---
    At this rate, the island and bridge...
[18:35] ---
    ...will most certainly be destroyed!
[18:36] ---
    What are you girls doing?!
    We need to flee this instant!
[18:40] ---
    We can't just abandon this place!
[18:43] ---
    Your family is coming back, right?
[18:46] ---
    Plus, without this bridge,
    your family and grandchildren
[18:49] ---
    won't have a landmark to enjoy
    anymore when they arrive.
[18:54] ---
    Girls...
[18:58] ---
    Liftoff!
[19:05] ---
    Lynne and I will attack in formation!
    Miyafuji, cover us!
[19:10] ---
    Understood!
[19:20] ---
    Commence attack!
[19:37] ---
    It's too hard!
[19:38] ---
    We need more firepower to break it!
[19:40] ---
    Let's all attack at the same time!
[19:42] ---
    But a three-person formation
    attack is too advanced...!
[19:46] ---
    We can do it!
[19:47] ---
    I know the three of us can do it!
[19:51] ---
    Let's do it!
[19:52] ---
    Right!
[20:07] ---
    I can read everyone's moves!
[20:09] ---
    We can dodge the beams!
[20:10] ---
    It's thanks to the brooms!
[20:14] ---
    There's the core!
[20:15] ---
    It's already starting to regenerate!
[20:18] ---
    We need to hurry and destroy it!
[20:20] ---
    I'll do it!
[20:24] ---
    We're not going to make it!
[20:27] ---
    Look out, Lynne!
[20:32] ---
    Lynne!
[20:33] ---
    Yoshika!
[20:43] ---
    They combined!
[20:45] ---
    I'll use my shield to get us as close
    as possible! You aim for the core!
[20:49] ---
    Got it!
[20:51] ---
    It's almost to the island!
[20:52] ---
    Hurry! I'll cover you!
[21:08] ---
    Now!
[21:08] ---
    Lynne!
[21:10] ---
    Right!
[21:21] ---
    We did it!
[21:22] ---
    We did it! We did it, Lynne!
[21:24] ---
    Yeah! We protected
    Mrs. Anna's house and the bridge!
[21:40] ---
    All three of you pass...
[21:47] ---
    This is Sakamoto. I thank you for your help.
[21:50] ---
    No, they were no trouble at all.
[21:54] ---
    They didn't cry in their beds,
    unlike someone else I know!
[22:03] ---
    --Hey! Stop!
[22:04] ---
    --Stupid hag...
[22:06] ---
    I-I never cried!
[22:09] ---
    Pipe down! I can't hear!
[22:14] ---
    Well, anyway, as I was saying...
[22:16] ---
    Yes?
[22:17] ---
    Those girls show a lot of promise.
[22:22] ---
    I think so, too.
[22:24] ---
    Hey, you! Get off that table!
[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
[23:54] ---
    Even in spacious skies where
    being alone might make you cry
[23:59] ---
    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
[24:26] ---
    Behold, Liberion! Karlsland's
    ultimate weapon!
[24:29] ---
    The Neurois don't stand a chance now!
[24:30] ---
    Can I reveal it?!
[24:31] ---
    Stop!
[24:33] ---
    On the next Strike Witches 2:
    "Hard, Fast, Amazing!"
[24:35] ---
    "Episode 4: Hard, Fast, Amazing!"
