**[00:26] ---**
*For some reason, Perrine displayed open
hostility toward newcomer Miyafuji.*
**[00:31] ---**
*Additionally, Barkhorn, a veteran,
superimposed her past trauma on Miyafuji*
**[00:35] ---**
*and wound up treating her coldly.*
**[00:38] ---**
*A new Neuroi then attacked, and
Miyafuji participated in battle again.*
**[00:43] ---**
*During the battle, Barkhorn was hit
by enemy fire and seriously injured,*
**[00:47] ---**
*but she escaped death thanks
to Miyafuji's fervent healing.*
**[00:51] ---**
*After saving her, Miyafuji was finally
recognized as a member of the group!*
**[00:57] ---**
*That which I can do, I want
to make come true, one by one*
**[01:03] ---**
*Let's walk step by step toward our dreams*
**[01:09] ---**
*That which I can do, I want you to know, too*
**[01:15] ---**
*Don't give up, spread your wings*
**[01:20] ---**
*Now let's fly, for tomorrow*
**[01:30] ---**
*Even when you hold your knees to
your chest, sick and tired of it all*
**[01:36] ---**
*Don't worry, don't cry, I know you can do it*
**[01:42] ---**
*You only need to open the
door of courage a tiny bit*
**[01:47] ---**
*Really embrace that smile
and soar high into the sky!*
**[01:57] ---**
*That which I can do, too*
**[02:00] ---**
*I want to keep kindness safe*
**[02:03] ---**
*After you wipe your tears,
let's fly off to tomorrow*
**[02:09] ---**
*I want these feelings to reach
you, using my special magic*
**[02:15] ---**
*I promise not to look downward anymore*
**[02:21] ---**
*For freedom, for the future*
**[02:43] ---**
Wait, what are you--?!
**[02:47] ---**
You can't be serious! No!
**[02:51] ---**
Quit it, Lyn...!
**[02:54] ---**
Wow... They're so big...
**[03:07] ---**
Is something the matter, Yoshika?
**[03:15] ---**
Yoshika?!
**[03:16] ---**
Ouch...
**[03:17] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[03:19] ---**
I just had a dream...
**[03:22] ---**
A dream?
**[03:24] ---**
Let me think... In it, I think you and I...
**[03:28] ---**
You and I what?
**[03:37] ---**
Nothing! It's nothing! Nothing at all!
**[03:39] ---**
I-I-I...!
**[03:42] ---**
I-I didn't see anything at all...!
**[03:50] ---**
"Episode 5: Fast - Big - Soft"
**[04:03] ---**
You're always serious, Yoshika.
**[04:06] ---**
Huh?! Th-That's not true!
**[04:10] ---**
But you dreamed about the two of
us doing formation flying, right?
**[04:14] ---**
Huh?! Oh, it wasn't--! Yes, that's right!
**[04:17] ---**
Yes, yes! Training! We did
training together! That's right!
**[04:21] ---**
See? You really must be serious
to have dreams like that.
**[04:26] ---**
We fought a Neuroi just the other day,
**[04:30] ---**
so it's okay to forget
about fighting for a while!
**[04:35] ---**
*Why did I dream about that?*
**[04:42] ---**
*In my dream, I felt those...*
**[04:50] ---**
*I felt those breasts of hers...!*
**[04:52] ---**
Hey, Miyafuji!
**[04:54] ---**
I-It's not what you think!
**[05:03] ---**
Having fun?
**[05:06] ---**
M-Major Sakamoto!
**[05:08] ---**
I-I-I'm sorry!
**[05:10] ---**
You're going soft on me!
**[05:19] ---**
Huh?! We're going to the beach?!
**[05:21] ---**
Yes. Tomorrow morning.
**[05:23] ---**
We're going to the eastern
shore of this island.
**[05:26] ---**
Hurray! The beach!
**[05:29] ---**
Swimming in the ocean!
**[05:32] ---**
Huh? You guys don't like the beach?
**[05:36] ---**
Yoshika...
**[05:37] ---**
Yes?
**[05:38] ---**
It's for training.
**[05:41] ---**
Training?
**[05:42] ---**
That is correct!
**[05:44] ---**
We must be able to react to anything
that may happen in battle!
**[05:48] ---**
That includes the loss of
flight while above the ocean!
**[05:51] ---**
Which is why training for falling
into the sea is necessary!
**[05:55] ---**
I see...
**[05:56] ---**
What's that, Miyafuji?! You hate training?!
**[05:59] ---**
No, it's not like that...
**[06:04] ---**
This is where we'll gather.
1000 hours. Got that?
**[06:10] ---**
Understood!
**[06:11] ---**
Got it, Miyafuji?
**[06:13] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[06:13] ---**
All right, then.
**[06:15] ---**
Please pass that information
along to Shirley and Lucchini.
**[06:18] ---**
Shirley has been in the
hangar since this morning.
**[06:21] ---**
Lucchini should be asleep somewhere on
the base, so see if you can find her.
**[06:27] ---**
Understood!
**[06:28] ---**
Oh, and Miyafuji.
**[06:30] ---**
We won't necessarily be
training for the entire day.
**[06:35] ---**
In other words, you'll have plenty of time
to enjoy the beach between exercises!
**[06:40] ---**
Commander Mina...
**[06:42] ---**
Okay, I'll go tell them! Let's go, Lyn!
**[06:45] ---**
Okay!
**[06:49] ---**
She's certainly full of energy...
**[06:51] ---**
Shirley's in the hangar again?
**[06:53] ---**
Yes, since morning.
**[06:55] ---**
Maybe she'll be ready to come out soon?
**[06:59] ---**
Things are going to get loud...
**[07:01] ---**
What should I do for a swimsuit tomorrow?
**[07:04] ---**
You don't have one?
**[07:05] ---**
I'm worried because mine is from last year.
**[07:07] ---**
I don't know if I'll fit into it...
**[07:09] ---**
Huh?! You've grown that much taller?!
**[07:11] ---**
Oh, uhh, I don't mean my height...
**[07:16] ---**
Wh-What was that?!
**[07:18] ---**
It came from inside the hangar...
**[07:20] ---**
Let's go!
**[07:23] ---**
Shirley!
**[07:25] ---**
Yo! What brings you two here?
**[07:31] ---**
U-Umm... That sound just now...
**[07:33] ---**
Oh, you mean these?
**[07:36] ---**
Actually, these are...
**[07:51] ---**
That's enough! We understand now!
**[07:56] ---**
Yep, looking good!
**[07:58] ---**
If I tweak the unbalanced weight allocation
between it and the shield a little more...
**[08:00] ---**
Shirley! Uhh...!
**[08:02] ---**
What are you saying now?
**[08:04] ---**
It's really loud! Shirley! It's loud!
**[08:09] ---**
Please stop all the noise!
**[08:13] ---**
Not so loud!
**[08:16] ---**
Sorry...!
**[08:18] ---**
What is that, anyway?!
**[08:20] ---**
What exactly are you doing
here in the hangar?!
**[08:22] ---**
Be quiet, will ya...?
**[08:26] ---**
Lucchini!
**[08:29] ---**
I was having such a nice nap, too!
**[08:31] ---**
Your yelling woke me up, Yoshika!
**[08:34] ---**
Sorry!
**[08:36] ---**
You mean that noise didn't
bother you, Lucchini?
**[08:39] ---**
Nope! It always sounds like that!
**[08:42] ---**
Always? You always make
so much noise, Shirley...?
**[08:46] ---**
I modified the Striker's engines, that's all.
**[08:49] ---**
Modified the engines? What do you mean?
**[08:57] ---**
Here! I'll show you!
**[09:00] ---**
What did you modify?
**[09:02] ---**
I tweaked the magic engine's
energy allocation.
**[09:05] ---**
Allocation?
**[09:06] ---**
You mean you changed how much energy
is used for offense and defense?
**[09:10] ---**
That's right!
**[09:12] ---**
What exactly did you enhance, then?!
**[09:15] ---**
Speed, of course!
**[09:17] ---**
Shirley!
**[09:18] ---**
Right!
**[09:24] ---**
Go!
**[09:28] ---**
Go! Shirley!
**[09:30] ---**
Wow! She's speeding up so fast!
**[09:32] ---**
She's just getting started!
**[09:41] ---**
She shot up there fast!
**[09:43] ---**
1,000 meters high in 50 seconds!
**[09:45] ---**
That's an unprecedented
ascension rate, Major!
**[09:49] ---**
She really tuned it up well!
**[09:54] ---**
Now let's see how it fares.
**[09:57] ---**
Here goes, Merlin! Magic engine, full output!
**[10:06] ---**
She's still speeding up!
**[10:09] ---**
770 kilometers per hour!
**[10:11] ---**
780! 785!
**[10:14] ---**
790! 795...!
**[10:16] ---**
Wow!
**[10:17] ---**
She broke 800 kph! It's a new record!
**[10:24] ---**
Go!
**[10:26] ---**
More! More!
**[10:30] ---**
Her acceleration has stopped.
**[10:32] ---**
How far did she get?
**[10:33] ---**
A little over the 800 mark.
**[10:36] ---**
I see. So over 800 is where they round out...
**[10:40] ---**
Do you suppose...
**[10:42] ---**
...this is their limit, after all?
**[10:46] ---**
The sound barrier is still a long way off...
**[10:54] ---**
Shirley! You set a new record!
**[10:56] ---**
That was incredible!
**[10:56] ---**
Amazing!
**[10:58] ---**
All right!
**[11:06] ---**
Whew! I'm starving!
**[11:14] ---**
What is this?
**[11:16] ---**
"New record achievement
of glamorous Shirley..."
**[11:19] ---**
A motorcycle record?
**[11:21] ---**
Shirley used to be a motorcycle
rider before she became a pilot!
**[11:27] ---**
Ever heard of the Bonneville Flats?
**[11:30] ---**
Bonne...?
**[11:31] ---**
It's a plain in the middle of
Liberion made entirely out of salt
**[11:34] ---**
that stretches out as far as the eye can see!
**[11:36] ---**
There's a place like that?
**[11:39] ---**
It's a holy ground for us speed freaks!
**[11:49] ---**
The day I broke the record
is when I heard about witches
**[11:53] ---**
who use magic engines to soar through
the air at the world's fastest speeds.
**[12:02] ---**
I applied to the army and
enlisted that very same day.
**[12:05] ---**
And that's how I wound up here today.
**[12:08] ---**
And that's why you're always pushing
the speed limits on your off-days?!
**[12:13] ---**
The fastest speed... That's amazing!
**[12:16] ---**
But how fast will you have
to go until you're satisfied?
**[12:20] ---**
Hmm. Maybe until mach speed, when
the sound barrier is broken!
**[12:25] ---**
Huh? What's the sound barrier?
**[12:28] ---**
It's the speed that sound travels at.
**[12:30] ---**
It's generally around 1,200 kph!
**[12:33] ---**
Wow...
**[12:34] ---**
Is it really possible to go that fast?!
**[12:37] ---**
I don't know.
**[12:39] ---**
But it's all over once you
stop following your dreams.
**[12:44] ---**
Well, I guess I'll call it a day.
**[12:48] ---**
By the way, did you two need something?
**[12:51] ---**
Huh?
**[12:54] ---**
We forgot!
**[12:56] ---**
We have to gather at 1000 hours tomorrow!
**[13:00] ---**
I can't wait to see!
**[13:01] ---**
Huh?
**[13:02] ---**
See what?
**[13:04] ---**
See you two in swimsuits!
**[13:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:09] ---**
Shirley!
**[13:38] ---**
What do I do?! What do I do?!
**[13:41] ---**
Huh? Did this part go here?
Or here? Was it here?
**[13:50] ---**
Now it's as good as new!
**[13:53] ---**
I hope...?
**[14:11] ---**
Yahoo!
**[14:30] ---**
My skin is burning...
**[14:32] ---**
I'm starving...
**[14:35] ---**
Wh-Why do I have to wear this?!
**[14:39] ---**
Don't make me repeat myself! It's
in case you fall into the ocean!
**[14:44] ---**
All the others have done this training.
**[14:47] ---**
You're the only ones left.
**[14:49] ---**
Now quit complaining and jump in already!
**[15:02] ---**
They're not coming back up...
**[15:04] ---**
No...
**[15:16] ---**
I guess this is going to
go as smoothly as flying...
**[15:18] ---**
Perhaps this is the most they can do?
**[15:26] ---**
How long are you going to keep dog-paddling?
**[15:29] ---**
Come on! Learn from Perrine!
**[15:33] ---**
Honestly, now!
**[15:36] ---**
You can't be serious... I can't
do that... so suddenly...
**[15:45] ---**
I'm sleepy...
**[15:46] ---**
All right, everyone! Break time!
**[16:02] ---**
I... can't move any more...
**[16:05] ---**
Me neither...
**[16:07] ---**
She said I'd get to have fun, too...
**[16:10] ---**
Commander Mina's a liar...
**[16:13] ---**
You'll get used to it soon enough!
**[16:15] ---**
Shirley...
**[16:17] ---**
Besides, lying down like this...
**[16:21] ---**
...isn't bad at all, either!
**[16:40] ---**
The sun's so warm...
**[16:42] ---**
Yeah, it feels nice!
**[16:45] ---**
Right?
**[16:51] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:54] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:55] ---**
Something passed in front
of the sun just now.
**[16:59] ---**
Something?
**[17:05] ---**
The enemy!
**[17:07] ---**
A Neuroi!
**[17:09] ---**
Shirley!
**[17:17] ---**
One enemy aircraft!
**[17:18] ---**
Appears to have snuck in under our radar!
**[17:22] ---**
Urgh! They're two days
earlier than expected again!
**[17:24] ---**
Who's going?!
**[17:25] ---**
Shirley and the others have
already sprung into action.
**[17:35] ---**
Sh-She's a fast runner, too!
**[17:53] ---**
This is Yeager!
**[17:55] ---**
Taking off!
**[17:58] ---**
Shirley!
**[18:02] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[18:03] ---**
Yeah...
**[18:05] ---**
Yoshika! Let's go, too!
**[18:07] ---**
Yeah!
**[18:15] ---**
Shirley, do you read me?!
**[18:17] ---**
Commander!
**[18:18] ---**
There's one enemy aircraft,
an ultra-fast model.
**[18:21] ---**
It's already made it inland.
**[18:24] ---**
What's its course?!
**[18:25] ---**
It's heading west-northwest of here.
**[18:30] ---**
Its target... if it continues this course...
**[18:33] ---**
London!
**[18:36] ---**
It's London! Get ahead of it immediately!
**[18:39] ---**
Shirley! Show it your speed!
**[18:42] ---**
Roger!
**[18:50] ---**
She's that far ahead already?!
**[18:52] ---**
Lyn! Let's hurry!
**[18:55] ---**
We're counting on you, Shirley!
**[19:00] ---**
Shirley left!
**[19:03] ---**
I wonder if she adjusted it first...
**[19:05] ---**
What do you mean?
**[19:07] ---**
Uhh, well, last night, I saw
Shirley's Striker and...
**[19:13] ---**
U-Uhh, it's nothing at all.
**[19:16] ---**
Continue what you were saying,
Ensign Francesca Lucchini.
**[19:28] ---**
*What's going on?! It's different than usual!*
**[19:33] ---**
Lieutenant... at once...!
**[19:36] ---**
I repeat! Lieutenant Shirley, return
to base at once! I repeat...!
**[19:41] ---**
Miyafuji! Lyn! Catch up to her, quickly!
**[19:46] ---**
She's pulling away!
**[19:47] ---**
We can't catch up!
**[19:52] ---**
*What's going on? The acceleration
isn't stopping at all!*
**[19:56] ---**
*Is the engine performing
especially well today?!*
**[20:00] ---**
...At once, Lieutenant...!
**[20:04] ---**
*It... It feels like...*
**[20:08] ---**
*It feels like it did then!*
**[20:17] ---**
Return to base at once, Lieutenant!
**[20:19] ---**
Go!
**[20:48] ---**
D-Did I just pass mach speed?!
**[20:51] ---**
This is the realm of supersonic speed?!
**[20:54] ---**
Incredible! This is incredible!
**[20:57] ---**
I did it! I really did it!
**[20:59] ---**
Do you read me, Lieutenant?! Respond!
**[21:01] ---**
I did it, Major! I broke the sound barrier!
**[21:05] ---**
Stop! You're going to run into the enemy!
**[21:28] ---**
The enemy has been shot down!
**[21:29] ---**
What about Shirley?!
**[21:30] ---**
Let me see...!
**[21:32] ---**
Oh! She's okay!
**[21:35] ---**
She's all right! Shirley is all right!
**[21:58] ---**
Huh?
**[22:00] ---**
She's not all right at all!
**[22:20] ---**
Why is she...?!
**[22:23] ---**
What's wrong?! What happened?!
**[22:25] ---**
W-We've secured Shirley! But...!
**[22:29] ---**
But what?!
**[22:30] ---**
They're so big...
**[22:32] ---**
What are you doing, Yoshika?!
**[22:36] ---**
Hey! Explain the situation accurately!
**[22:40] ---**
I *can't* explain it!
**[22:46] ---**
"To Be Continued"
**[22:46] ---**
I'm starving...
**[23:00] ---**
*Always keep me bookmarked
inside of you, okay?*
**[23:06] ---**
*Praise me lots by saying, "Good
job!" while smiling, okay?*
**[23:11] ---**
*Always be fully serious,*
**[23:14] ---**
*and don't be shocked by the gaps*
**[23:17] ---**
*If you don't move on through the here and now*
**[23:20] ---**
*there'll be no future, you know?*
**[23:23] ---**
*If the point of fighting has warmth to it*
**[23:29] ---**
*then I'll fight to the end*
**[23:31] ---**
*for a world for us that won't need fighting!*
**[23:43] ---**
*With you, I'm sure I can do it*
**[23:47] ---**
*If we firmly hold our fate lines together*
**[23:54] ---**
*heart-to-heart and hand-in-hand,*
**[23:59] ---**
*we'll be accomplices toward our dreams*
**[24:04] ---**
*It feels like we can fly anywhere*
**[24:10] ---**
*believing in our sleeping wings*
**[24:21] ---**
*Can you hear Sanya's beautiful voice?*
**[24:23] ---**
*She plays a big role next week.*
**[24:25] ---**
*She'll be like this, she'll be like that!*
**[24:28] ---**
*Once and for all, an episode of
Sanya, by Sanya, and for Sanya--*
**[24:29] ---**
*On the next Strike Witches:*
**[24:32] ---**
*"We're the Same."*
**[24:41] ---**
