[00:50] ---
    All right! My Merlin Engine's
    in tip-top shape again today!
[00:56] ---
    Captain Charlotte Yeager!
[00:58] ---
    Huh?
[01:00] ---
    What are you doing dressed like that?!
[01:02] ---
    Huh? Just an engine test.
[01:05] ---
    That isn't what I mean!
[01:06] ---
    We're at combat readiness, you know!
    What if a Neuroi were to appear?!
[01:11] ---
    But it gets so hot inside the
    hangar when we run our engines...
[01:16] ---
    See? I'm not the only one...
[01:17] ---
    So hot...
[01:19] ---
    Honestly, now. You two never cease...!
[01:22] ---
    Oh? Are you saying Karlslanders
    are strict about rules?
[01:27] ---
    What do you have to say, Hartmann?
[01:28] ---
    So hot...
[01:30] ---
    H-Hartmann! Even you?!
[01:34] ---
    And you call yourself a Karlsland soldier?!
[01:36] ---
    Huh? Yeah, I do...

    "Episode 4: Hard, Fast, Amazing!"
[03:19] ---
    Oh? So this is Karlsland's very latest model?
[03:23] ---
    Technically, it's a prototype.
    The ME262 V1 Jet Striker.
[03:29] ---
    Jet?
[03:30] ---
    Lieutenant Hartmann!
[03:31] ---
    Why are you dressed like that?
[03:33] ---
    Come on, Hartmann! Put on some clothes!
[03:38] ---
    What is this?
[03:39] ---
    She called it a Jet Striker.
[03:41] ---
    Jet? Like the kind that was being researched?
[03:45] ---
    It arrived from Neue Karlsland this morning.
[03:48] ---
    It says here that its engine
    output is many times greater
[03:51] ---
    than a Reciprocating Striker, and that
    it has a top speed of over 950 kph.
[03:56] ---
    950?! That's incredible!
[03:59] ---
    Wow!
[04:00] ---
    It's new-generation technology that
    will replace Reciprocating Strikers.
[04:03] ---
    Shirley! Why are you dressed like that, too?
[04:10] ---
    What is this?
[04:12] ---
    An armament designed specifically
    for Jet Strikers. It's a 50-mm cannon.
[04:18] ---
    It also comes with four
    30-mm machine guns...?
[04:21] ---
    Whoa...!
[04:22] ---
    Is it really possible to
    fly carrying all that?
[04:24] ---
    Hey! Lemme try it on!
[04:28] ---
    No! I will wear it!
[04:30] ---
    What? It doesn't belong to you!
[04:32] ---
    Nonsense! This unit was built
    in Karlsland! I should wear it!
[04:36] ---
    Nationality has nothing to do with it!
    We're talking about 950 kph!
[04:40] ---
    I know all about the sound
    barrier! I should wear it!
[04:43] ---
    Is speed all you can think about?!
[04:47] ---
    Here we go again...
[04:49] ---
    They just never learn...
[04:51] ---
    I'm first!
[04:53] ---
    Hey!
[04:54] ---
    That's not fair, Lucchini!
[04:58] ---
    Early bird catches the worm!
[05:15] ---
    Lucchini!
[05:18] ---
    Lucchini! What's wrong?!
[05:21] ---
    It went, "Bzzz!"
[05:23] ---
    "Bzzz"?
[05:25] ---
    I hate that...
[05:26] ---
    Shirley... Don't wear it...
[05:31] ---
    I think I'll pass after all.
[05:33] ---
    What?
[05:34] ---
    I thought it over and realized there's
    a lot of potential left in reciprocators!
[05:38] ---
    I can always try out the jet kind later on!
[05:41] ---
    Hmph. Wimping out, are you?
[05:44] ---
    Just watch! I'll try it on!
[05:53] ---
    Incredible!
[05:56] ---
    Blegh...
[05:57] ---
    What do you say? Think any of our
    Reciprocating Strikers can beat this?!
[06:02] ---
    What?!
[06:03] ---
    Here you are, everyone!
[06:06] ---
    Breakfast is ready!
[06:09] ---
    Huh?
[06:10] ---
    Quit horsing around! Act your age!
[06:12] ---
    You're acting like a kid
    who just got a new toy!
[06:15] ---
    Sour grapes, huh? You're being disgraceful!
[06:18] ---
    I changed my mind, that's
    all! I'm fine with this!
[06:21] ---
    You're selfish and frivolous, Liberion!
[06:23] ---
    What did you say,
    you straight-laced idiot soldier?!
[06:26] ---
    They're at it again...
[06:42] ---
    What is all this commotion about?
[06:44] ---
    Ms. Barkhorn and Shirley
    are having a competition.
[06:48] ---
    First one's a climbing competition!
[06:50] ---
    You can do it, Shirley!
[07:01] ---
    Shirley stopped climbing at 12,000 meters.
[07:05] ---
    Ms. Barkhorn is still climbing. Wow...!
[07:09] ---
    Whew...
[07:12] ---
    Yoink!
[07:15] ---
    I win!
[07:18] ---
    Bitter about losing? You're
    disgraceful, Captain!
[07:21] ---
    Wow, this is good!
[07:24] ---
    Good luck next time, Shirley!
[07:26] ---
    Yeah! Just leave it to me!
[07:34] ---
    Can you really fly carrying all that?
[07:37] ---
    My P-51 is a versatile unit! It can
    handle any situation that might arise!
[07:45] ---
    What is it this time?
[07:46] ---
    They said it's a payload contest.
[07:48] ---
    They're going to see how
    much weight they can carry.
[07:51] ---
    Then shouldn't you start by reducing
    the payload on your chest, Shirley?
[07:58] ---
    Sorry for the wait.
[08:02] ---
    W-Will you be all right, Ms. Barkhorn?!
[08:07] ---
    There's no problem at all!
[08:08] ---
    Hey, now! You can't possibly fly like that!
[08:18] ---
    No way...
[08:21] ---
    Target confirmed!
[08:31] ---
    Incredible! This Jet Striker is incredible!
[08:38] ---
    You gotta be kidding me...
[08:40] ---
    Dinner is meat and potato stew!
[08:43] ---
    Mmm! I don't know much about cooking,
[08:47] ---
    except that everything you
    make tastes great, Miyafuji!
[08:50] ---
    Is this fish stock?
[08:52] ---
    Bonito stock!
[08:54] ---
    Thank you!
[08:55] ---
    Still, why must we dine in a
    place that smells of motor oil?!
[09:00] ---
    No complaining while you're eating.
[09:02] ---
    Delicious.
[09:04] ---
    Yoshika is worried about
    Ms. Barkhorn and Shirley.
[09:09] ---
    This is the most I can do, so...
[09:11] ---
    It's like they say-- an empty
    stomach can make you irritable.
[09:16] ---
    Do they now?
[09:18] ---
    Umm, you must be tired too, Ms. Barkhorn...
[09:22] ---
    Yes...
[09:23] ---
    You can just leave it there.
    I want to rest for a little bit now...
[09:36] ---
    Using empty drums as baths...
    It's a major discovery!
[09:40] ---
    Apparently, Ms. Sakamoto used
    them a lot when she was in Libau!
[09:46] ---
    --Lucchini! We're over maximum capacity!
[09:48] ---
    --It's been a while, Yoshika!
[09:54] ---
    I fill this one to capacity all by myself!
[09:58] ---
    Ms. Barkhorn should come have a bath, too...
[10:01] ---
    Forget about her.
[10:03] ---
    She seemed more exhausted than usual today.
[10:06] ---
    It must be its fault!
[10:08] ---
    Huh? Whose?
[10:09] ---
    That thing that goes, "Krssshhhhhh!"
[10:12] ---
    Huh? You mean the Jet Striker?
[10:14] ---
    Yeah! That's it!
[10:38] ---
    Ready...!
[10:40] ---
    Bang!
[10:43] ---
    Huh? Barkhorn...
[10:46] ---
    Bang! I said, "Bang!"
[11:05] ---
    Incredible! It's like an angel
    is giving me an extra push!

[11:10] ---
    I-I can't believe I've been
    outclassed in terms of speed...
[11:13] ---
    What the...?!
[11:21] ---
    She fell...!
[11:36] ---
    She's awake.
[11:37] ---
    What's wrong, everyone?
    Is there something on my face?
[11:42] ---
    Ms. Barkhorn! Thank goodness!
[11:44] ---
    You fell into the sea, Trude.
[11:47] ---
    I fell...?!
[11:50] ---
    You passed out after using up all of
    your magic. Do you not remember?
[11:55] ---
    That's nonsense! I would never
    make such a basic mistake as that!
[11:59] ---
    It isn't your fault. The problem
    is probably with that Jet Striker.
[12:04] ---
    I'm not sure, but perhaps it consumed
    a tremendous amount of your magic?
[12:10] ---
    Prototypes always come with problems.
[12:13] ---
    That Striker is incredible.
[12:15] ---
    We need to keep testing it even more
    so we can deploy them in the field...
[12:20] ---
    No. I can't place you in danger.
[12:24] ---
    Captain Barkhorn. You are hereby
    grounded for the time being
[12:29] ---
    and will remain confined to your quarters.
[12:31] ---
    Mina!
[12:32] ---
    That is an order.
[12:37] ---
    Understood...
[12:39] ---
    As of now, use of the Jet
    Striker is forbidden!
[13:10] ---
    U-Umm, Ms. Barkhorn...
[13:13] ---
    What are you doing?
[13:14] ---
    Training.
[13:17] ---
    The Jet Striker wasn't the reason I fell.
[13:22] ---
    It was because I lacked strength.
[13:25] ---
    Huh?! You plan to fly with it again?!
[13:28] ---
    Naturally.
[13:30] ---
    The course of the war will change if
    we can master using those Strikers!
[13:35] ---
    It's no use. Just give it up.
[13:39] ---
    Shirley!
[13:40] ---
    Did you come to laugh at me, Liberion?
[13:44] ---
    Running out of magic and crashing
    makes me look like a rookie, after all.
[13:48] ---
    You heard our commander.
    That Striker really is dangerous.
[13:53] ---
    You'll wind up worse off than being grounded.
[13:55] ---
    Surely you realize how much fighting
    potential the Jet Strikers present.
[14:03] ---
    It's easily worth this amount of risk...
[14:05] ---
    Even if it kills you?!
[14:08] ---
    That's why I have to get even stronger...
[14:16] ---
    You stubborn hardhead!
[14:24] ---
    Oh, there's a Neuroi.
[14:25] ---
    Ms. Hartmann!
[14:27] ---
    You were here this whole time?!
[14:28] ---
    Yeah...
[14:30] ---
    I'm going ahead.
[14:34] ---
    Wait, Shirley!
[14:36] ---
    Yoshika! We're on standby
    in the command room!
[14:55] ---
    Left yourself open!
[14:57] ---
    Almost forgot something!
[15:06] ---
    An intercom?
[15:09] ---
    Target is moving south, toward Rome!
[15:12] ---
    However, it appears to
    be gradually accelerating!
[15:16] ---
    Correction to predicted location
    of engagement! Approximately...
[15:18] ---
    No worries. We have
    confirmation here as well.
[15:28] ---
    It divided!
[15:30] ---
    They plan to break through
    using sheer numbers?!
[15:32] ---
    Five against five. That's perfect.
[15:34] ---
    Spread out and shoot them down!
    Don't let them past us!
[15:38] ---
    Understood!
[15:41] ---
    Shirley!
[15:42] ---
    What is it, Major?
[15:43] ---
    That one in the very middle has
    the core. It's especially fast.
[15:48] ---
    I leave it to you.
[15:50] ---
    Roger!
[16:02] ---
    That one!
[16:08] ---
    You're not getting away!
[16:17] ---
    Huh?!
[16:24] ---
    Oh, you wanna fight?!
[16:25] ---
    That's more like it!
[16:39] ---
    Stay still!
[16:43] ---
    Damn!
[16:48] ---
    This is Sakamoto!
[16:50] ---
    Shirley is having a hard time,
    but we have our hands full!
[16:53] ---
    Request immediate reinforcements!
[16:54] ---
    Understood! Lynne! Miyafuji!
[16:57] ---
    Right!
[17:08] ---
    Ms. Barkhorn?!
[17:10] ---
    Your legs won't get you there in time!
[17:25] ---
    You're disobeying orders, Captain!
[17:27] ---
    This is the only way to help her now!
[17:30] ---
    But your strength still isn't back!
[17:38] ---
    Trude!
[17:39] ---
    Sorry, Mina!
[17:41] ---
    You can punish me later. For now...!
[17:45] ---
    Five minutes!
[17:46] ---
    That's how long you can fly!
[17:50] ---
    Five is more than enough!
[17:55] ---
    There!
[17:58] ---
    It jammed?!
[18:01] ---
    It split again?!
[18:07] ---
    Oh, no! I'm caught between them!
[18:15] ---
    Huh?!
[18:22] ---
    Barkhorn?!
[18:31] ---
    Whoa...
[18:34] ---
    W-Wasn't use of the Jet Striker forbidden?
[18:39] ---
    Barkhorn, that fool. She's too reckless...
[18:45] ---
    Way to go, Barkhorn!
[18:48] ---
    Hey! Barkhorn?!
[18:51] ---
    What's going on? Barkhorn isn't slowing down!
[18:55] ---
    Not good!
[18:56] ---
    The Jet Striker is out of control!
    At this rate, it'll sap all her magic away!
[19:01] ---
    Shirley!
[19:02] ---
    I'm on it!
[19:24] ---
    Damn you...!
[19:34] ---
    What's that sound?
[19:39] ---
    Stop!
[20:04] ---
    Those are for me! For me!
[20:23] ---
    What on earth happened while we were asleep?
[20:27] ---
    It's in pieces...
[20:28] ---
    Honestly, now! That was
    one troublesome Striker!
[20:32] ---
    Yes. As was the person who used it.
[20:36] ---
    We beat the Neuroi thanks to her.
    You can go a little easy on her.
[20:40] ---
    Rules are rules!
[20:43] ---
    However, this is the first time Barkhorn
    has disobeyed orders, is it not?
[20:47] ---
    I apologize for the trouble, everyone.
[20:50] ---
    Why are you apologizing?
[20:53] ---
    It wasn't your fault, Hartmann.
[20:54] ---
    Oh, no, I'm...
[20:56] ---
    Is everyone hungry?
[21:01] ---
    We received a lot of potatoes, so I tried
    making all sorts of things with them!
[21:06] ---
    Here you go, Ms. Hartmann! Have some!
[21:09] ---
    Thank you.
[21:10] ---
    Huh? Have you always worn glasses?
[21:13] ---
    Yes.
[21:15] ---
    Oh, that looks great!
[21:17] ---
    Oh! Have some too, Ms. Hartmann!
[21:20] ---
    Huh?!
[21:25] ---
    It's good to see you again, sister.
[21:28] ---
    Huh? Ursula?
[21:30] ---
    Sister?!
[21:34] ---
    This is Lieutenant Ursula Hartmann.
[21:37] ---
    She's Lieutenant Erica Hartmann's
    younger twin sister.
[21:40] ---
    Younger sister?!
[21:41] ---
    She's a member of the
    Jet Striker's development staff.
[21:45] ---
    Oh...
[21:48] ---
    Captain Barkhorn. My deepest
    apologies for all the trouble.
[21:54] ---
    It would appear that the
    Jet Striker had a fatal flaw.
[21:58] ---
    Well, it was a prototype.
    It comes with the territory.
[22:01] ---
    Don't worry about it. I should
    apologize for destroying it, in fact.
[22:05] ---
    Not at all. I'm just glad
    that you're all right, Captain.
[22:08] ---
    I'll take this back to our homeland.
[22:11] ---
    You came all the way here for that?
[22:13] ---
    Yes. It isn't much, but I also brought
    potatoes as an apology for the trouble.
[22:19] ---
    E-Even more...?
[22:24] ---
    This is my fry!
[22:26] ---
    I thought you said you
    didn't care for Liberion food!
[22:30] ---
    I need to replenish my energy
    if I want to regain my strength!
[22:34] ---
    Just admit that it tastes good!
[22:37] ---
    It doesn't taste half-bad.
[22:39] ---
    Sheesh! We made so many!
    Why are they fighting over it?
[22:43] ---
    Don't worry about it. That's just
    how they are. Let 'em be.
