[00:38] ---
    Reppuzan!
[01:00] ---
    I guess it really is inevitable...
[01:06] ---
    It appears the Yamato managed to arrive.
[01:09] ---
    Its safe arrival alone is enough reason to
    be grateful for the 501st's reestablishment.
[01:16] ---
    I'd been told it was meant to increase
    our military presence in this region;
[01:20] ---
    is there more to it than that?
[01:22] ---
    Listen, Lieutenant Colonel Mina.
[01:25] ---
    Operation Trajan, our attempt
    to make contact with the Neurois,
[01:28] ---
    ended in failure.
[01:30] ---
    Any chances of coexistence are now gone.
[01:33] ---
    The only option now is to
    exterminate or be exterminated.
[01:38] ---
    Relying completely on the
    Witches will not be enough.
[01:42] ---
    That's what the Yamato is here for?
[01:45] ---
    We've said all we can.
[01:47] ---
    That reminds me, Lt. Colonel.
[01:49] ---
    It appears a request for a new military
    operation has been submitted...
[01:52] ---
    Yes. One in which specially chosen
    Witches will strike the Neurois.
[01:57] ---
    We happen to have an idea that
    may prove beneficial to your plan...
[02:02] ---
    Huh?
[02:03] ---
    Enter.
[02:09] ---

    "Episode 10: 500 Overs"
[03:49] ---
    Get up, Hartmann!
[03:57] ---
    So sleepy...
[03:59] ---
    Don't let up! The mission's
    just around the corner!
[04:02] ---
    Huh? What mission?
[04:04] ---
    Mina's discussing it with
    the top brass as we speak.
[04:07] ---
    The two of us will probably
    be chosen to fight!
[04:10] ---
    Huh?! Just the two of us?!
[04:22] ---
    Oh! A transport plane!
[04:24] ---
    That's a Ju 52. Commander Mina must be back.
[04:34] ---
    She jumped out!
[04:36] ---
    She's...!
[04:46] ---
    Wow...!
[04:47] ---
    A-Amazing!
[04:50] ---
    Hey! Nice to meetcha, kittens!
[04:53] ---
    Kittens...?
[04:54] ---
    Wow!
[04:58] ---
    Sorry, but I don't give autographs.
[05:01] ---
    Oh...
[05:03] ---
    Wow!
[05:04] ---
    Say, can you two...
[05:06] ---
    Marseille!
[05:07] ---
    Why are you here?
    You're supposed to be in Africa!
[05:12] ---
    Long time, no see, Hartmann!
[05:17] ---
    How long's it been? Since flight
    school? No, that can't be right...
[05:20] ---
    Oh, yeah! JG 52's Group IV!
[05:24] ---
    Remember that hardhead of
    a commanding officer we had?
[05:28] ---
    What was her name again?
[05:30] ---
    Barkhorn!
[05:31] ---
    Oh, right! It's been a while, Barkhorn!
[05:35] ---
    How've you been?
[05:38] ---
    Just wonderful!
[05:40] ---
    Is that cool girl a friend of Ms. Barkhorn?
[05:44] ---
    I-It doesn't seem like it...
[05:49] ---
    A real pain-in-the-butt has arrived...
[05:58] ---
    Oh! That's that girl!
[06:00] ---
    Wow! She's in a book!
[06:03] ---
    Let's see...
[06:04] ---
    "Captain Hannah Marseille of Karlsland.
[06:08] ---
    Member of the 31st Air Squadron,
    also known as the Storm Witches,
[06:12] ---
    and an elite ace renowned
    for shooting down 200 aircraft."
[06:14] ---
    200... Wow!
[06:17] ---
    "Moreover, her beauty has
    garnered fans not only in Karlsland,
[06:21] ---
    but around the entire world as well.
[06:24] ---
    Her nickname is 'Star of Africa.'"
[06:27] ---
    The Star of Africa? That's so cool!
    I want her autograph!
[06:32] ---
    She doesn't do autographs.
[06:34] ---
    Huh?
[06:35] ---
    You know about Ms. Marseille, Shirley?
[06:38] ---
    Lucchini and I were in Africa
    for a bit before coming here.
[06:43] ---
    We were!
[06:44] ---
    What is she like?
[06:46] ---
    We've heard all kinds of rumors...
[06:48] ---
    We have! We have!
[06:50] ---
    The other Karlsland girls probably
    know more about her, though.
[06:54] ---
    Come to think of it, she said
    you were in the same squad...
[06:57] ---
    The three of us were in the
    same squadron in Karlsland.
[07:03] ---
    So you are friends!
[07:05] ---
    Us?! Friends with that stuck-up girl?!
[07:10] ---
    Okay! Silence, please!
[07:13] ---
    Two specially chosen Witches
    will break through here.
[07:16] ---
    They'll take out the defensive
    Neurois and destroy the core.
[07:20] ---
    That is all.
[07:21] ---
    Only two people...?
[07:23] ---
    This mission requires the use
    of a submarine for transport.
[07:27] ---
    There will only be enough
    room on board for two units.
[07:31] ---
    I'll now announce the
    members of the assault team.
[07:34] ---
    First is Captain Hannah Marseille
    of the 31st Air Squadron,
[07:38] ---
    who has been assigned to this
    operation as a support member.
[07:43] ---
    What is the meaning of
    this, Lieutenant Colonel?!
[07:44] ---
    Weren't Hartmann and I supposed
    to make up the assault team?!
[07:48] ---
    These are orders from the higher-ups.
[07:50] ---
    Only one member of the 501st
    will participate in the operation...
[07:54] ---
    That person is you, Captain Barkhorn.
[07:57] ---
    No can do.
[07:58] ---
    Barkhorn. You're not fit to be my partner.
[08:06] ---
    What are you...
[08:07] ---
    What are you trying to say, Marseille?
[08:10] ---
    Exactly what I said: that you don't
    have the skill to fight alongside me.
[08:15] ---
    Captain!
[08:16] ---
    If there's anyone who can
    match my skill, it's...
[08:23] ---
    Don't look away from me, Marseille!
[08:26] ---
    Ever since the Karlsland defensive campaign,
[08:28] ---
    you've always treated your
    superior officers improperly!
[08:32] ---
    You haven't changed one bit!
[08:35] ---
    What should we do...?
[08:37] ---
    Captain Barkhorn!
[08:39] ---
    We have the same rank now!
[08:55] ---
    Take it outside!
[08:56] ---
    Both of you!
[08:58] ---
    Stop!
[09:02] ---
    I'll be your partner, Marseille!
    Is that what you want?
[09:05] ---
    Huh?!
[09:10] ---
    Lieutenant Hartmann...
[09:12] ---
    Hartmann...!
[09:13] ---
    Okay!
[09:15] ---
    I look forward to this, Hartmann...
[09:36] ---
    The two of them are amazing!
[09:38] ---
    They are two of Karlsland's top aces!
[09:41] ---
    Oh? Does that mean this operation is...?
[09:44] ---
    Yes.
[09:45] ---
    A joint operation between two
    top aces from separate squadrons.
[09:49] ---
    The Allied Forces' top officials
    are hoping to win public favor
[09:52] ---
    by having Captain Marseille
    take part in this mission.
[09:56] ---
    Yes. There's no room for complaints
    if it'll help the operation succeed,
[10:02] ---
    but it looks like it won't be that easy...
[10:04] ---
    Yes. Those two haven't clicked at all...
[10:18] ---
    That makes nine wins!
[10:22] ---
    Argh! I've been hit!
[10:27] ---
    This exercise is over, you two!
[10:30] ---
    Return to base at once!
[10:32] ---
    Yeah, yeah...
[10:38] ---
    Did something happen?
[10:40] ---
    I don't know. I couldn't really see...
[10:56] ---
    The two of you will stay in this room
    until the day of the operation.
[11:00] ---
    Captain Marseille. Normally, you would've
    been thrown into the stockade
[11:04] ---
    for pointing a gun at someone
    during a training exercise.
[11:06] ---
    Unfortunately, however,
    we don't have one on this base.
[11:09] ---
    Instead, the two of you
    will stay in this room.
[11:13] ---
    Come on, why do I have to, too?
[11:15] ---
    This is a good opportunity.
[11:17] ---
    You will use your time in here to foster
    teamwork for the upcoming mission.
[11:22] ---
    Is that clear?
[11:23] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[11:25] ---
    Got it.
[11:26] ---
    Do it again and you'll be in real trouble.
[11:35] ---
    I got in trouble 'cause of you, Hannah...
[11:39] ---
    Mina really is scary.
[11:41] ---
    She's even scarier when she's really mad.
[11:49] ---
    Why won't you fight?
[11:52] ---
    When I targeted you earlier.
[11:54] ---
    With your skill, you could've
    evaded and countered me easily.
[11:58] ---
    You haven't changed at all, Hannah...
[12:01] ---
    There's no need to change.
[12:02] ---
    Why are you always so competitive?
[12:06] ---
    On the battlefield, victory
    is all that matters.
[12:09] ---
    So I must always win and always
    remain the strongest. That's all.
[12:14] ---
    That's crazy.
[12:16] ---
    We were tied 8 to 8 when we
    were in the same squadron.
[12:19] ---
    Out of everyone, you're the only one
    who's ever fought as my equal, Erica.
[12:24] ---
    That's why I want to settle
    things during this mission.
[12:31] ---
    Fine, I forfeit. You win.
[12:33] ---
    Again?!
[12:34] ---
    You said something like that
    last time and then ran off! Why?!
[12:39] ---
    'Cause it's a pain...
[12:56] ---
    What?!
[12:57] ---
    Captain Marseille comes in first!
[13:06] ---
    I win!
[13:10] ---
    More!
[13:10] ---
    Oh, right!
[13:13] ---
    Umm, do you like Fuso cooking?
[13:16] ---
    Sure do! There's a Witch
    from Fuso in my unit, too!
[13:25] ---
    But I can never stand that.
[13:27] ---
    Oh? But natto is healthy for you!
[13:30] ---
    More!
[13:31] ---
    Huh?!
[13:32] ---
    Th-There's no rice left...
[13:34] ---
    What?!
[13:37] ---
    I win!
[13:45] ---
    That's two wins for me!
[13:46] ---
    This isn't a competition...
[13:48] ---
    Winning takes precedence over all else.
[13:50] ---
    I'm telling you, we're not competing here.
[13:53] ---
    Sheesh. That attitude's why
    you're stuck as a lieutenant.
[13:58] ---
    Doesn't matter to me.
[14:03] ---
    Baths really are great.
    They loosen up stiff muscles.
[14:07] ---
    The stories I heard were right.
[14:11] ---
    You don't have baths in Africa?
[14:14] ---
    A drop of water in Africa is
    as vital as a drop of blood.
[14:18] ---
    We can't use water like this there.
[14:21] ---
    Oh. That must be rough...
[14:24] ---
    Africa's great, though.
[14:27] ---
    No annoying commanding officers,
[14:29] ---
    and those shady head honchos of
    the Allied Forces hardly ever bother us.
[14:32] ---
    Then why are you helping
    with this upcoming mission?
[14:36] ---
    The big shots want to win some
    popularity, which is fine with me.
[14:44] ---
    It's a small price to pay if it'll help
    protect our squadron in Africa...
[14:53] ---
    Plus, there's a certain
    Erica Hartmann in the 501st...
[14:58] ---
    That's crazy.
[15:02] ---
    Ms. Marseille and Ms. Hartmann!
[15:04] ---
    Oh!
[15:05] ---
    How was your very first bath?
[15:08] ---
    Oh, it was pretty--
[15:11] ---
    Gotcha!
[15:13] ---
    How dare you catch me from behind?!
[15:15] ---
    Ooh! Big!
[15:17] ---
    But Shirley still has you beat!
[15:21] ---
    Wha...?! That's nonsense!
    You think you've outclassed me?!
[15:25] ---
    Observe! Mine are the
    shapeliest in the world!
[15:27] ---
    Oh!
[15:29] ---
    Shapeliness is a matter of preference!
[15:30] ---
    Hmph! It's better than having sag bags!
[15:33] ---
    --Wha...?! How can you say that?!
[15:33] ---
    --Wow...
[15:35] ---
    --See! Perky as can be! See?!
[15:37] ---
    --Yoshika...
[15:39] ---
    This is crazy...
[15:51] ---
    Huh? What's going on, Trude?
[15:54] ---
    U-Umm, well...
[15:56] ---
    No, actually, never mind!
[15:59] ---
    Wait... Don't tell me you
    want Hannah's autograph?
[16:04] ---
    It's not for me! M-My
    sister's a fan of her...
[16:08] ---
    Chris is?
[16:09] ---
    I-I thought it might make her happy...
[16:13] ---
    Sure! I'll ask her!
[16:16] ---
    Nope!
[16:17] ---
    I don't give autographs!
[16:20] ---
    Come on, why not?
    You can give an autograph or two!
[16:26] ---
    I'd never sign an autograph for
    that sister-obsessed stick in the mud!
[16:34] ---
    Hold on, Hannah...
[16:36] ---
    Don't make fun of Trude!
[16:40] ---
    Then compete with me.
[16:42] ---
    Win and I'll give you all
    the autographs you want!
[16:45] ---
    So you'll do it if I beat you?
[16:47] ---
    Yeah.
[16:52] ---
    It's time.
[17:23] ---
    Do you read me, Captain Marseille
    and Lieutenant Hartmann?
[17:27] ---
    Yeah, loud and clear.
[17:36] ---
    The target is on the island of Malta.
    It's been taken over by the Neurois.
[17:40] ---
    It is believed that the Neuroi that
    recently attacked the Fuso fleet
[17:42] ---
    originated from there as well.
[17:48] ---
    Above ground, the Neuroi is heavily
    fortified and nearly impenetrable.
[17:52] ---
    So we're using a submarine to sneak
    under and destroy it from the inside.
[17:56] ---
    Are you both ready?
[17:58] ---
    Ready when you are.
[18:00] ---
    I'm ready, too.
[18:03] ---
    Commence operation!
[18:11] ---
    Takeoff!
[18:21] ---
    Whoa! There are so many!
[18:24] ---
    Enemy count around 40!
[18:27] ---
    40?!
[18:28] ---
    That's a lot...
[18:29] ---
    No! 38!
[18:31] ---
    No, 35!
[18:33] ---
    Huh? Which is it?!
[18:34] ---
    No, they're both right.
    The enemy's numbers are falling.
[18:38] ---
    Huh?
[18:39] ---
    They're shooting them down on their own.
[18:42] ---
    28!
[18:43] ---
    25!
[18:47] ---
    21!
[18:49] ---
    10!
[18:57] ---
    7!
[18:58] ---
    6!
[19:00] ---
    5!
[19:01] ---
    4!
[19:02] ---
    3!
[19:03] ---
    2!
[19:07] ---
    Zero!
[19:08] ---
    That leaves only the core!
[19:10] ---
    This is...
[19:11] ---
    ...the end!
[19:20] ---
    Look! Down there!
[19:22] ---
    Wow! All by themselves...!
[19:25] ---
    I took down 20.
[19:26] ---
    I got 20, too.
[19:29] ---
    I don't like ties.
[19:31] ---
    I know.
[19:32] ---
    Let's settle this once and for all.
[19:35] ---
    You better give your autograph if I win.
[19:38] ---
    That's a big "if"!
[19:42] ---
    What are they doing?
[20:01] ---
    Sh-She's shooting at her!
[20:03] ---
    Yes, she is...
[20:05] ---
    The nerve of her!
[20:06] ---
    I-I can't believe she'd
    turn her gun on an ally!
[20:09] ---
    Sheesh. They never change.
[20:11] ---
    How can you be so carefree
    about this?! That's live ammunition!
[20:15] ---
    They're Witches. They won't
    get hit; they have shields.
[20:19] ---
    Y-Yes, but...
[20:21] ---
    In this fight, whoever puts up a shield
    or runs out of ammo first loses...
[20:45] ---
    Marseille used a chandelle
    to keep her in check,
[20:47] ---
    and now Hartmann's using a
    high-G barrel roll to flip behind her!
[20:51] ---
    Incredible...
[20:59] ---
    Gotcha!
[21:02] ---
    Sturm!
[21:22] ---
    I'm out of ammo...
[21:23] ---
    So am I...
[21:25] ---
    Guess it's a draw, then.
[21:29] ---
    It didn't get settled, huh?
[21:50] ---
    Okay... Here we go...
[21:55] ---
    What on earth brought this on?
    You never clean up...
[22:00] ---
    Sorry, Trude. I couldn't
    get Hannah's autograph...
[22:07] ---
    That's okay. Don't worry about it.
[22:12] ---
    You're certainly in a rush.
[22:14] ---
    I have a magazine interview
    to do back home this afternoon.
[22:17] ---
    You live up to your name of "Star of Africa."
[22:19] ---
    Oh, yeah. I almost forgot.
[22:24] ---
    Could you send this to
    Barkhorn's sister for me?
[22:28] ---
    Couldn't you just give it to Trude yourself?
[22:32] ---
    I told you.
[22:35] ---
    I have a busy schedule.
[22:45] ---
    I give up after all...
[22:50] ---
    What?!
