    1944.
[00:30] ---
    Humankind's battle with the unknown
    enemy Neurois continues to intensify.

[00:35] ---
    Amid this, Miyafuji Yoshika
    accompanies Sakamoto Mio

[00:39] ---
    on a trip to Britannia to find
    information about her father.

[00:42] ---
    Just when it seemed that their long
    voyage would end without incident,

[00:47] ---
    a Neuroi appeared, as if
    chasing the fleet of ships.

[00:50] ---
    Receiving word of this, the
    501st Joint Fighter Wing,

[00:54] ---
    also known as the Strike Witches,
[00:56] ---
    immediately set out from
    Britannia to rescue them.

    "Episode 2: That Which I Can Do"
[02:48] ---
    All ships, maintain heading
    and take evasive action!
[02:52] ---
    I repeat, all ships...!
[02:58] ---
    Why isn't the bastard
    attacking us all at once?!
[03:02] ---
    Perhaps it's toying with us?
[03:05] ---
    Prepare all fighter planes for launch!
[03:08] ---
    We're going to teach it the meaning
    of "a cornered rat will bite the cat!"
[03:13] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:28] ---
    Miyafuji!
[03:32] ---
    What's with that look? That's pathetic.
[03:35] ---
    And you call yourself a
    girl of the Fuso Empire?
[03:37] ---
    But... I just can't stop shaking...
[03:42] ---
    I guess it's to be expected.
[03:45] ---
    Here, look up at me.
[03:50] ---
    Don't move.
[03:59] ---
    It's an intercom.
[04:00] ---
    With that, you can communicate
    with me even from a distance.
[04:04] ---
    Oh...
[04:05] ---
    But only use it when you're
    really in trouble. Understand?
[04:10] ---
    Yes.
[04:14] ---
    Well, I should be going now.
[04:17] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto.
[04:19] ---
    A-Are you going to fight that thing?
[04:21] ---
    Of course I am. That's my mission, after all.
[04:26] ---
    I... I want to...
[04:29] ---
    You stay here.
[04:31] ---
    No going outside, no matter what.
[04:34] ---
    But...!
[04:37] ---
    Are you worried about me?
[04:40] ---
    I'll be fine. Just relax and watch.
[04:46] ---
    Cease anti-aircraft fire!
    Stop evasive maneuvers!
[04:48] ---
    All hands, prepare to launch fighters!
[05:10] ---
    Sakamoto Mio, taking off!
[05:25] ---
    Major damage to the Yukikaze!
    They're not responding!
[05:27] ---
    Never mind that! Launch all fighters at once!
[05:31] ---
    The only way to beat a Neuroi
    is to destroy its core.
[05:33] ---
    All fighters, disrupt its attacks
    while searching for the core!
[05:38] ---
    I'm going to circle above it!
[05:40] ---
    Roger!
[05:48] ---
    Nothing up top!
[05:56] ---
    It's almost like a hedgehog.
[05:58] ---
    It won't be easy to look
    for the core like this!
[06:01] ---
    Message from Britannia!
[06:02] ---
    501st Joint Fighter Wing has
    launched and is on its way!
[06:07] ---
    ETA, 20 minutes!
[06:08] ---
    We're almost to our destination!
    We must continue to hang on!
[06:16] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto is fighting...
[06:23] ---
    And I'm...
[06:43] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto! Are you okay?! Ms. Sakamoto!
[06:50] ---
    What are you doing there?! I told
    you not to leave the room! Go back!
[06:54] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto! You're all
    right! Thank goodness!
[06:57] ---
    Miyafuji! Did you not
    hear me?! Go back inside!
[07:01] ---
    That's not where you belong!
    You'll only get in the way!
[07:04] ---
    I want to do what I can, too!
[07:07] ---
    There is nothing you can do
    right now! Go back inside!
[07:11] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto? Ms. Sakamoto?!
[07:14] ---
    "First Aid"
[07:14] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto?!
[07:16] ---
    Sheesh, what a reckless girl. But
    she has guts, that's for sure.

[07:21] ---
    I can't give in, either!
[07:27] ---
    The Isokaze has been hit!
[07:32] ---
    Your fight...
[07:35] ---
    ...is with me!
[07:49] ---
    Amazing...
[07:51] ---
    So that's how a Witch fights?
[08:04] ---
    Found it!
[08:11] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[08:17] ---
    Machine Gun ♪8 has
    exploded! Fire crew, hurry!
[08:20] ---
    A man's been injured! Medic!
[08:26] ---
    Please hold on!
[08:28] ---
    I'll help you!
[08:37] ---
    This time for sure...
[08:42] ---
    This time for sure...!
[08:45] ---
    What are you doing?! Stop!
[08:47] ---
    I-I know how to use healing magic!
[08:50] ---
    You're a Witch?!
[08:53] ---
    But it'd be better for me to treat
    him in this case! Stay out of this!
[08:57] ---
    But please let me help somehow!
[09:00] ---
    Don't be crazy! This is no
    place for a kid like you!
[09:05] ---
    Go back to your room and stay put!
[09:06] ---
    No! I don't want to do that!
[09:12] ---
    In that case, I need more bandages!
[09:15] ---
    Bring me as much as you can find!
[09:18] ---
    Right!
[09:23] ---
    Major! We'll buy you some time!
[09:25] ---
    Attack the core while we keep it busy!
[09:29] ---
    Roger! I'm counting on you!
[09:38] ---
    Damn!
[09:42] ---
    Gotta do better than that!
[09:46] ---
    All fighters have been destroyed,
    leaving Major Sakamoto behind!
[09:49] ---
    Damn!
[09:51] ---
    Where are the reinforcements?!
[09:52] ---
    Where are the Witches from Britannia?!
[09:57] ---
    A near-hit!
[09:58] ---
    The ship will be crippled if
    we don't do something soon!
[10:00] ---
    Just keep it intact until
    the reinforcements arrive!
[10:10] ---
    Man overboard!
[10:11] ---
    All available hands, help at once!
[10:14] ---
    Squad ♪5 to the port machine guns!
[10:16] ---
    The engine room is flooding!
[10:17] ---
    What's gonna happen to this ship?!
[10:18] ---
    Shells! Bring shells!
[10:20] ---
    We're all out!
[10:21] ---
    Don't we have anything?! What do we do now?!
[10:25] ---
    This is no place for a kid like you!
[10:28] ---
    That's not where you belong!
    You'll only get in the way!

[10:35] ---
    Is there nothing that I can do?
[10:48] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:50] ---
    Miyafuji! Miyafuji!
[10:52] ---
    Answer me, Miyafuji! Miyafuji!
[11:00] ---
    Miyafuji! Miyafuji!
[11:03] ---
    Miyafuji! Miyafuji!
[11:03] ---
    Yoshika... Yoshika...
[11:06] ---
    Yoshika... Yoshika...
[11:12] ---
    Dad... I'm sorry... I can't
    do anything at all...

[11:20] ---
    Yoshika.
[11:21] ---
    You have a power just as great as
    your mother's and grandmother's.

[11:25] ---
    Grow up to be a wonderful girl
    who can protect everyone with it.

[11:31] ---
    Dad...
[12:04] ---
    Direct hit to the Tanikaze!
    They're not responding!
[12:07] ---
    So this is the end, huh?
[12:11] ---
    All hands, prepare to abandon ship!
[12:14] ---
    All hands, prepare to abandon ship!
[12:16] ---
    What's going on? What's happening?!
[12:19] ---
    Captain! The central elevator is
    in operation! Someone's on it!
[12:23] ---
    What?!
[12:29] ---
    To do what I can...
[12:35] ---
    To keep my promise...
[12:41] ---
    To protect everyone!
[12:57] ---
    Wh-Who's that?!
[12:59] ---
    How is she able to wear a Striker?!
[13:01] ---
    It's the girl Major
    Sakamoto brought with her.
[13:03] ---
    Her name is...
[13:06] ---
    ...Miyafuji Yoshika!
[13:07] ---
    Miyafuji?! You mean as in Dr. Miyafuji's...?!
[13:17] ---
    Is she seriously going to...?!
[13:19] ---
    Miyafuji?
[13:26] ---
    Here I go!
[13:36] ---
    Pull up! There's no turning back now!
[13:40] ---
    Fly!
[13:43] ---
    Fly, Miyafuji!
[14:01] ---
    I-I'm flying... I'm flying!
[14:07] ---
    Amazing! This is her very first
    time wearing a Striker, too...!
[14:12] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto!
[14:15] ---
    Hey! Where are you going?!
[14:17] ---
    I'm here to help!
[14:20] ---
    Look out!
[14:26] ---
    What a huge shield!
[14:27] ---
    Is that the latent ability inside her?!
[14:31] ---
    Interesting!
[14:34] ---
    Good to have you here, Miyafuji!
[14:35] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto! Use my gun!
[14:38] ---
    You use it.
[14:40] ---
    You want to be a protector, don't you?
[14:43] ---
    Yes!
[14:44] ---
    All right!
[14:47] ---
    Listen closely!
[14:49] ---
    Its core is hidden right around there.
[14:52] ---
    You shoot through the
    core while I distract it.
[14:56] ---
    Can you do that?
[14:57] ---
    Yes, I'll give it a try!
[14:59] ---
    Good! Follow me on the count of two!
[15:24] ---
    Are you all right?!
[15:25] ---
    Y-Yes. I'm sorry.
[15:28] ---
    But it's okay! I can still fly!
[15:33] ---
    Her first flight and her first real battle...
[15:36] ---
    Her stamina must be at its limit...
[15:37] ---
    Let's try it again!
[15:41] ---
    All right. Brace yourself!
[15:43] ---
    This is our last chance!
[15:45] ---
    Right!
[15:49] ---
    It'll get me again if I do
    the same thing as before...

[15:52] ---
    What should I do?
[15:57] ---
    That's it!
[16:05] ---
    If I get right up to it, I'm sure I can...!
[16:11] ---
    Pull yourself together, Miyafuji Yoshika!
[16:13] ---
    I'm going to do it!
[16:15] ---
    I'm going to protect everyone!
[16:24] ---
    That's the core!
[16:29] ---
    I can't! It's too late!
[16:58] ---
    Did... we do it?
[17:09] ---
    She's really something.
[17:11] ---
    She did all this, without
    any training at all...

[17:19] ---
    Core has been destroyed!
[17:22] ---
    10 shots, 10 hits! Amazing, huh?!
[17:25] ---
    Confirmed. Neuroi has been shot down.
[17:29] ---
    Mission is complete.
[17:30] ---
    Major Sakamoto!
[17:32] ---
    Are you all right?!
[17:36] ---
    That lousy Perrine plans to hug all
    over the major during the confusion!
[17:42] ---
    I'll just have to tease her later on, then!
[17:55] ---
    Wh-What is that girl doing there?!
[17:57] ---
    Who is she?!
[18:04] ---
    Huh?
[18:06] ---
    You're awake?
[18:08] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto...
[18:09] ---
    You did great.
[18:11] ---
    If you hadn't been there,
[18:12] ---
    who knows what would've happened to me, too?
[18:16] ---
    But... I failed again at the very end...
[18:21] ---
    Don't be silly!
[18:22] ---
    Accomplishing that much
    your first time is amazing!
[18:27] ---
    Here, see for yourself.
[18:47] ---
    Dad...
[18:49] ---
    I... I...!
[18:59] ---
    "Britannia"
[19:20] ---
    This was the address on the letter?
[19:24] ---
    Yes.
[19:25] ---
    Dr. Miyafuji developed the Strikers
    here until five years ago.
[19:31] ---
    He was here the day of the accident, too.
[19:39] ---
    Ms. Sakamoto... You knew all along?
[19:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:51] ---
    No, please don't apologize!
[19:53] ---
    I'm the one who was selfish,
[19:56] ---
    but you brought me all this way anyway.
[19:58] ---
    I'm very grateful for it!
[20:04] ---
    I used to spend time here,
    too, with the doctor.
[20:09] ---
    I can only assume that your
    letter was sent way back then.
[20:14] ---
    My dad always had bad timing.
[20:18] ---
    He left on my first day of grade school,
[20:21] ---
    and the notice of his death
    arrived on my tenth birthday.
[20:26] ---
    I did have a little bit of hope when
    this letter suddenly arrived...
[20:33] ---
    But I guess we're not meant to be together,
[20:36] ---
    even though we're family...
[20:42] ---
    "Use your power to protect many."
[20:47] ---
    He used to say that all the time.
[20:50] ---
    It was from that sentiment that
    the Striker Units were born, too.
[20:55] ---
    Dad...
[21:34] ---
    Well, shall we go?
[21:36] ---
    Yes.
[21:39] ---
    U-Umm...
[21:43] ---
    Umm, Ms. Sakamoto...
[21:45] ---
    Please let me join the Strike Witches!
[21:50] ---
    What?
[21:51] ---
    I want to stay here and use my power!
[21:55] ---
    To protect even more people!
[21:58] ---
    Miyafuji...
[22:00] ---
    I'm sure that's what my dad would want, too.
[22:04] ---
    I see...
[22:08] ---
    All right, then! Leave the rest to me!
[22:12] ---
    I'll train you hard to be a
    full-fledged Strike Witch!
[22:16] ---
    You better be ready!
[22:18] ---
    Yes!
[22:32] ---
    Now, then...
[22:34] ---
    This is Miyafuji Yoshika, who is now a member
[22:37] ---
    of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing as of today!
[22:42] ---
    I'm Miyafuji Yoshika!
[22:44] ---
    It's nice to meet you!
