**[00:09] ---**
Moonlit Guns for Hire
**[00:16] ---**
I'm tellin' ya...
**[00:17] ---**
I woulda sworn I'd get myself
a few more tags, but no, nothing!
**[00:20] ---**
Talk about not living up to the hype!
**[00:22] ---**
Gimme a break, Adolfo.
**[00:24] ---**
Pass.
**[00:24] ---**
You fly about as steady as
a windsock on a latrine.
**[00:28] ---**
Pass-What's that even mean?
**[00:29] ---**
Pass.
**[00:30] ---**
I'm just saying you always wind up
right where I'm trying to avoid.
**[00:31] ---**
I got nothing.
**[00:33] ---**
Swinging 'round aimlessly this way and that.
**[00:36] ---**
Really, Miguel?
**[00:38] ---**
What's our own ammo-wasting
champion got to laugh about?
**[00:40] ---**
Don't throw a fit now, Adolfo.
**[00:41] ---**
Bam!
**[00:43] ---**
Not so fast.
**[00:49] ---**
I'm out.
**[00:50] ---**
Again?!
**[00:51] ---**
This is ridiculous.
**[00:53] ---**
Guess we don't stand a chance
against the hand of God himself, eh?
**[00:56] ---**
God had no part in this.
**[00:58] ---**
You bet he didn't!
God ain't never helped anyone anywhere!
**[01:03] ---**
Both of you be damned.
**[01:04] ---**
Ririko, my dear!
**[01:06] ---**
I've gotta be the most pitiful chap
in the whole Nazarin Air Squad.
**[01:09] ---**
Why doncha come cheer me up?
**[01:10] ---**
That's not on our menu.
**[01:12] ---**
Oh, that's cold.
**[01:14] ---**
But that's what I love about ya!
**[01:15] ---**
Give it a rest, Adolfo.
**[01:17] ---**
If there ain't a single gal in this world
who'd gimme the time of day...
**[01:20] ---**
How do I know I'm not in hell already?
**[01:22] ---**
Sure they might not be friendly,
but we've still got plenty of gals, right?
**[01:25] ---**
Where, exactly?
**[01:26] ---**
Here are your pancakes,
just the way you like them.
**[01:28] ---**
Hooray!
**[01:42] ---**
Reona, so as I was saying,
**[01:45] ---**
I'd like to take two days off after
this job, but what do you say?
**[01:49] ---**
What's this for now, Emma? A date?
**[01:51] ---**
Not at all. I simply need
to attend to the orchard.
**[01:54] ---**
Ah, those Yoshino cherry trees?
**[01:57] ---**
The very ones. I can't have them dying off now
that they've been left to me.
**[02:01] ---**
The Madame's the one who calls the shots,
but I don't see two days being an issue.
**[02:05] ---**
I'll be going to the hospital.
**[02:06] ---**
Say hi to Allen for me.
**[02:07] ---**
Right.
**[02:08] ---**
Ririko, whip me up some more!
**[02:10] ---**
What are you planning to do, Reona?
**[02:12] ---**
The same as always.
**[02:13] ---**
You should come out drinking with me.
**[02:15] ---**
I'll think about it.
**[02:17] ---**
That's basically the same as saying no.
**[02:19] ---**
You're no fun.
**[02:20] ---**
Here you are.
**[02:22] ---**
Ririko, you're the quickest cook around!
**[02:24] ---**
Kylie, you certainly do have
an appetite for pancakes, don't you?
**[02:27] ---**
I mean, it has been a whole
18 hours since my last plate.
**[02:29] ---**
I fail to see your point.
**[02:30] ---**
They're so light and fluffy, with
just that hint of sweetness.
**[02:33] ---**
The perfect match to some salted meat
and just the right size, too!
**[02:36] ---**
Plus there's that ultra-lite whipped cream on the side
to give it a boost when it needs it.
**[02:39] ---**
Not that they aren't delish as-is!
**[02:42] ---**
They taste like something
you could only dream of!
**[02:44] ---**
Yet the 850 calories on that plate
are anything but a dream.
**[02:47] ---**
Well, how are you supposed to enjoy pancakes
if you worry about the calories?
**[02:50] ---**
Who can't handle a scary
little thrill like this?
**[02:53] ---**
Oh, to be young again.
**[02:54] ---**
I doubt we could keep up with her.
**[02:56] ---**
Johnny's place here has got
the best pancakes around!
**[02:58] ---**
Well, well.
**[03:00] ---**
Pardon me!
**[03:01] ---**
The name's Adolfo.
**[03:02] ---**
We're both off shift in
another seven hours, yeah?
**[03:04] ---**
Sure it's still a bit early,
but whaddya say we celebrate?
**[03:06] ---**
Seven hours is plenty enough time
to find some love in the air, eh?
**[03:11] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[03:12] ---**
Cursed be any who dare
disrespect a good pancake!
**[03:15] ---**
What?
**[03:16] ---**
Oh, sorry. I'm only interested in
these two over here, ya see.
**[03:19] ---**
Well, that's a shame.
**[03:20] ---**
Because Reona here doesn't
waste her time with men
**[03:22] ---**
who couldn't even hold their own against her.
**[03:25] ---**
Oh yeah? Well, let me introduce myself, then!
**[03:28] ---**
I'm Adolfo Yamada of the Nazarin Air Squad.
**[03:30] ---**
I've been at this for five
years and three months now.
**[03:31] ---**
And I've got 11 and 5/7th stars to my name!
**[03:33] ---**
When it comes to lightning fast first strikes
and always being one step ahead, I'm a pro!
**[03:37] ---**
Whaddya say? Impressive, yeah?
**[03:38] ---**
Kate, what the heck is 5/7th of a star?
**[03:40] ---**
A number he is still aspiring for.
That is, one he has still yet to earn.
**[03:43] ---**
Oh!
**[03:44] ---**
But only eleven, huh?
**[03:45] ---**
What?!
**[03:46] ---**
Whaddya mean "only" eleven?
**[03:47] ---**
Oh well, I mean that's still pretty good
if you're flying a Shiden.
**[03:50] ---**
"For a Shiden?!"
**[03:52] ---**
Let me tell you a little something about
the gunpods on those wings there-
**[03:54] ---**
YIKES!
**[03:55] ---**
Ladies, sorry about our boy Adolfo here.
**[03:58] ---**
Quit acting so immature
around a bunch of kids.
**[04:00] ---**
Many thanks for your kindness.
**[04:02] ---**
Your friend here certainly seems
quite lively and ambitious.
**[04:05] ---**
Why would you say that?
**[04:07] ---**
Kate, this is what some would
call "lip service," you see.
**[04:10] ---**
So you mean, you're lying, then?
**[04:13] ---**
I'd prefer it if you'd
say I was acting wisely.
**[04:15] ---**
Do you really need to go that far, though?
**[04:16] ---**
If you hope to get along.
**[04:18] ---**
No, thanks!
**[04:19] ---**
With a guy that's acting all tough over
just eleven measly stars? No way!
**[04:22] ---**
He ruins the mood, talks himself up,
and gets a big nope from me!
**[04:25] ---**
You wanna say that to my face?!
**[04:27] ---**
Well now girly! If you're gonna
run your mouth off like that,
**[04:30] ---**
I take it you got the skills to back it up?
**[04:32] ---**
Yup. Let's see...
**[04:34] ---**
I think I'm at 43 now. And that's without
any unofficial, unconfirmed tags.
**[04:37] ---**
Forty three?!
**[04:38] ---**
No way! That's impossible!
**[04:40] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[04:41] ---**
Believe it.
**[04:42] ---**
All of them together have
tallied up over 200, you know.
**[04:57] ---**
Why do none of my good hunches
**[04:59] ---**
ever come to fruition but the
bad ones never seem to fail to?
**[05:02] ---**
Hey! Howdy! Your dependable First Officer
of the Hagoromo, Saneatsu here!
**[05:07] ---**
This alarm is an automatic alert set off
by readings on our radar.
**[05:11] ---**
Radar shows movement bearing 340 degrees,
on our two o'clock.
**[05:14] ---**
We're picking up no large
aircraft in that direction,
**[05:17] ---**
but we have unidentified
bogey moving in fast.
**[05:19] ---**
Altitude is 600 khrill.
**[05:20] ---**
Cloud base sits at 450 khrill.
**[05:22] ---**
Winds are blowing in from 280 degrees.
**[05:23] ---**
Wind speed is 4.5 khrill.
**[05:25] ---**
We are currently positioned at A-E
145 degrees and 54 minutes.
**[05:29] ---**
M-B 30 degrees and 17 minutes.
**[05:31] ---**
What are our fuel reserves?
**[05:32] ---**
4,102 bottles.
**[05:34] ---**
We can maintain course at current speeds
for 695 more kilometers.
**[05:37] ---**
Which means we have no
chance of evading them.
**[05:40] ---**
What's the speed on those bogeys?
**[05:41] ---**
Bogeys moving in at 165 kilometers per hour.
**[05:43] ---**
Altitudes like that must mean
they're flying zeroes, then?
**[05:45] ---**
I take it that means we're
dealing with air pirates?
**[05:47] ---**
Really? Do we have no escape routes?
**[05:49] ---**
Tell me Maria, can you
resist buying new shoes?
**[05:52] ---**
Not a chance.
**[05:52] ---**
Same goes for me and bags.
**[05:54] ---**
That's how big of a chance we have here.
**[05:55] ---**
Things are looking grim, then.
**[05:57] ---**
First Officer.
**[05:58] ---**
Requesting permission to launch fighters.
**[06:01] ---**
We're really doing this?
**[06:02] ---**
We're running out of time.
**[06:04] ---**
So be it!
**[06:07] ---**
Permission to launch all fighters!
**[06:09] ---**
Oh, and uh...
**[06:11] ---**
All crew to their battle positions!
**[06:17] ---**
Anyone who can't keep up is gonna get
an inertia handle cranked right up their butts!
**[06:20] ---**
Roger!
**[06:21] ---**
I thought we'd at least
get off this time around.
**[06:24] ---**
Well, aren't you nauseatingly naïve?
**[06:55] ---**
All right, all right! Time
to tag me a few more stars!
**[06:58] ---**
Sure you got it in ya?
**[06:58] ---**
I do!
**[06:59] ---**
Fernando, say a prayer for us.
**[07:01] ---**
My days of praying are long behind me.
**[07:04] ---**
Please.
**[07:09] ---**
Hey, check out our little gal's plane.
**[07:17] ---**
She plays it up with talk of 40 tags,
200 even, but she flies a Hayabusa?
**[07:21] ---**
All girls wanna do is show off.
**[07:23] ---**
Focus, leave them be.
**[07:24] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[07:25] ---**
Attention all crew! Commencing braking!
**[07:30] ---**
Nazarin Air Squad, clear for takeoff!
**[07:36] ---**
The Nazarin are good to go already?
**[07:39] ---**
That's what I like about these freelancers!
**[07:42] ---**
First officer, that's the Madame on the line.
**[07:45] ---**
I'm aware.
**[07:45] ---**
Aren't you going to pick up?
**[07:46] ---**
'Course I am.
**[07:49] ---**
Hey there, Loulou!
Our vessel's got no problems to report!
**[07:52] ---**
Well, of course not.
**[07:53] ---**
Today's cargo is of particular importance.
**[07:56] ---**
You are aware of this, yes?
**[07:58] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[07:59] ---**
Let my lovely little birdies know
there's a bonus to be had today.
**[08:02] ---**
For each and every plane they shoot down.
**[08:04] ---**
For me, too?!
**[08:05] ---**
Lose even a single drop of
that cargo and you're done.

All right. Same as always, two to a team-

No wait, today we're in two
teams of two and three.
**[10:34] ---**
I finally feel awake.
**[10:36] ---**
Zara, don't you go falling
asleep on me out here.
**[10:39] ---**
I'll be fine. I could pilot
this thing in my sleep.
**[10:41] ---**
Don't push your luck.
**[10:43] ---**
That's what got Chika in trouble.
**[10:46] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[10:46] ---**
Kate, Emma, Kylie.
**[10:48] ---**
The rear's all yours.
**[10:49] ---**
As you wish.
**[10:50] ---**
Roger that.
**[10:50] ---**
Bogeys sighted, two o'clock.
**[10:52] ---**
Oh, this'll be fun!
**[10:53] ---**
Fly high, KOTOBUKI Flight Corps!
**[10:55] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[11:17] ---**
Think you're good, eh?
**[11:18] ---**
Wobbling and fluttering around?
**[11:20] ---**
Gotcha!
**[11:26] ---**
Damn! Where'd they go?!
**[11:35] ---**
I can't shake 'em!
**[11:43] ---**
Rodriguez!
**[11:43] ---**
Adolfo, behind you!
**[11:50] ---**
Nazarin Squad, three birds down.
**[11:52] ---**
What?! Didn't these guys say
they were the best of the best?
**[12:02] ---**
Did I lose 'em? Did they just give up?!
**[12:20] ---**
Something's up. These aren't the regular
sort of pirates we're used to!
**[12:28] ---**
Got 'em!
**[14:42] ---**
The Hagoromo's in trouble!
**[15:02] ---**
Air pirates, closing in.
**[15:03] ---**
Gimme a break! You shoot us down and
there'll be no cargo left for you, you hear me?!
**[15:18] ---**
These horrid pirates!
**[15:38] ---**
Emma sure is something.
**[15:42] ---**
Permission to fire granted! Requested even!
**[16:57] ---**
Is that one of ours? One of theirs?!
**[16:58] ---**
It's an enemy craft.
**[16:58] ---**
We aren't going to make it!
**[17:04] ---**
Woohoo!
**[17:05] ---**
Kylie, nice work!
**[17:07] ---**
Enemy in retreat. No need for pursuit.
**[17:09] ---**
All birds return to nest.
**[17:27] ---**
Uh-oh.
**[17:49] ---**
Oh no! You're definitely going down!
**[17:55] ---**
All right!
**[18:21] ---**
What? Huh?!
**[19:24] ---**
What? Why? How?!
**[19:31] ---**
Not this! Not again!
**[19:49] ---**
Urgh, that's so annoying!
**[19:58] ---**
The captain's taken flight!
**[20:00] ---**
Kylie's home to roost!
**[20:34] ---**
You doofus!
**[20:36] ---**
How many times do I need to
tell you to cut that out?!
**[20:37] ---**
I just...
**[20:38] ---**
I don't want your excuses!
**[20:41] ---**
I bet the first officer plans to pay out
bonuses for their families.
**[20:45] ---**
I can see where he's coming from.
**[20:47] ---**
What, are you telling
me you like that whiner?
**[20:49] ---**
No, I just mean it must be tough to be
the family of a fighter pilot.
**[20:54] ---**
Oh.
**[20:55] ---**
So cocky and full of themselves.
**[20:57] ---**
Always looking for another thrill.
**[20:59] ---**
Reckless and quick to disappear.
**[21:02] ---**
Nothing but morons.
**[21:04] ---**
Where have Reona and the girls gone?
**[21:06] ---**
Couldn't say. They all headed for town
as soon as we landed.
**[21:09] ---**
And here I was ready to dish out bonuses.
**[21:11] ---**
I'll take it in their stead!
**[21:12] ---**
Are you really that dumb?
**[21:14] ---**
I might just be.
**[21:17] ---**
Long ago, the world opened right up,
and lots of things rained down on us.
**[21:24] ---**
Some good things. Some bad things.
**[21:26] ---**
Some lovely things. Some tarnished things.
**[21:28] ---**
There was all sorts of stuff.
**[21:30] ---**
But since then, things have closed up again.
**[21:34] ---**
And now, while we slowly lose
many of the things we have...
**[21:39] ---**
We still live on.
**[21:48] ---**
Okay! I'll be back!
**[22:14] ---**
Flying through the mesh of clouds
**[22:17] ---**
Our dancing wings wrap up in the wind
**[22:21] ---**
Stars fall right before our eyes
**[22:30] ---**
The blue of all blues that drew us in
**[22:33] ---**
We kicked up off the blurring ground
**[22:37] ---**
Let me hear the sound of the sky you know
**[22:44] ---**
Take flight make gravity your ally
**[22:51] ---**
One more time, however many
times, laughing all along
**[22:57] ---**
We would never look back when we fly
**[23:05] ---**
An everlasting dream we
live in pursuit of tomorrow
**[23:10] ---**
Amid rising despair I locked away my love
**[23:13] ---**
I hate my weak self
**[23:16] ---**
Here and now passes by as
we head towards the future

The Wandering Six
**[01:46] ---**
Waiter! Pour me another beer, would you?
**[01:49] ---**
You truly are something, Zara.
**[01:50] ---**
It's no wonder people say
you could drink an entire keg yourself.
**[01:53] ---**
Oh? Well I think I know
someone even more impressive.
**[01:56] ---**
Just take a look at Kylie.
**[01:58] ---**
Aren't pancakes meant to be dessert,
and therefore saved
**[01:59] ---**
until after you finish everything else?
**[02:01] ---**
You can't prove that!
**[02:02] ---**
It is objectively healthier
to eat your vegetables first.
**[02:05] ---**
Who are you kidding, Kate?
**[02:07] ---**
Enjoying the food you love is always better
than forcing yourself to eat stuff you hate!
**[02:11] ---**
Eat what you love! Do what
you love! Nothing beats that!
**[02:14] ---**
Seems like a good way to diet.
**[02:16] ---**
Right?
**[02:17] ---**
"One look and you'll lose that pesky appetite
with the Kylie-Watching Diet."
**[02:20] ---**
Harsh!
**[02:21] ---**
You should just give it a try yourself!
**[02:22] ---**
Sweet, then spicy, then sweet, then spicy,
in a yummy endless loop!
**[02:24] ---**
Yeah… Maybe if I ever lose the will to live,
I'll give it a shot.
**[02:28] ---**
How about you, Reona?
**[02:29] ---**
Kylie...
**[02:30] ---**
I have no desire to meddle in the tastes
and eating habits of my crew.
**[02:34] ---**
But I have no such reservations
when it comes to work.
**[02:36] ---**
Hm? What do you mean?
**[02:38] ---**
I've told you plenty of times already
to quit it with your showboating.
**[02:41] ---**
You disobeyed orders, and
went missing as a result.
**[02:45] ---**
You had everyone worried.
**[02:46] ---**
But I still made it back in the end.
**[02:48] ---**
You leave everything up to chance, luck,
and grit alone and dare call yourself a pilot?!
**[02:53] ---**
Sorry, Reona...
**[02:55] ---**
Like I haven't heard that before.
**[02:56] ---**
Kylie has now apologized
a total of 389 times.
**[02:59] ---**
A prime number, as it so happens.
**[03:01] ---**
Kylie doesn't really fly her plane,
she simply maneuvers it, after all.
**[03:04] ---**
That's not true, Emma!
**[03:06] ---**
I'm always thinking ahead!
**[03:07] ---**
Thinking what, exactly?
**[03:09] ---**
Like, "I'm gonna try real hard..."
**[03:10] ---**
If you wanna talk reckless,
Chika's way worse!
**[03:13] ---**
Even if she is, how does that make
what you did any better?!
**[03:16] ---**
Kylie, you need to start worrying about the team
and about yourself more.
**[03:19] ---**
Fine...
**[03:20] ---**
Reona, you're honestly the only one
our little thunderbolt Kylie will ever even listen to.
**[03:25] ---**
More beer, please!
**[03:26] ---**
Cap'n, you got a call from the First Officer.
**[03:29] ---**
We're being deployed?
**[03:30] ---**
No, that's no problem.
**[03:32] ---**
There's going to be a briefing?
**[03:33] ---**
Right now?
**[03:35] ---**
Very well, then. I'll let
the squad know right away.
**[03:39] ---**
But I thought we were going to have at least
a week off until our next flight.
**[03:42] ---**
They'll be paying us extra to compensate.
**[03:44] ---**
If you're in, Reona, so am I.
**[03:47] ---**
Me too!
**[03:48] ---**
I take it this means our pay will be doubled?
**[03:50] ---**
Tripled, it would seem.
**[03:51] ---**
My my, how I do love the sound of that!
**[03:53] ---**
No arguments here.
**[03:54] ---**
Well then, I'll let them
know the whole squad is in.
**[03:58] ---**
You wanna say that again, brat?
**[04:00] ---**
What?!
**[04:01] ---**
You deaf or something?
**[04:02] ---**
Or are you just too embarrassed
to face the truth?
**[04:05] ---**
I sure would be if I was a grown up like you
and still cutting in line!
**[04:08] ---**
You watch your mouth!
**[04:09] ---**
Do you know who I am?!
**[04:11] ---**
I'm the Tokiwagi, captain of
the third branch of the Rahama Vigilantes!
**[04:14] ---**
So what?
**[04:15] ---**
I'm Chika! Of the KOTOBUKI Flight Corps!
**[04:17] ---**
Wuzzat, "corrupt-y air snore"?
**[04:18] ---**
The KOTOBUKI Flight Corps!
**[04:19] ---**
Oh the "tramp corps"?
**[04:20] ---**
KOTOBUKI! You're just getting it wrong
on purpose, aren't you?!
**[04:22] ---**
Well am I wrong?
**[04:23] ---**
Yer just a bunch of hussy broads
who'd do anything for cash!
**[04:25] ---**
And you're just a bumbling,
big old bumptious bum!
**[04:27] ---**
Outta my way! The Vigilantes eat squads
like you for breakfast!
**[04:30] ---**
Not gonna happen!
**[04:33] ---**
Boss!
**[04:34] ---**
Oh, how lovely!
**[04:35] ---**
Is that Chika?
**[04:36] ---**
I honestly expected as much.
**[04:38] ---**
I've had it with you!
**[04:39] ---**
Back for seconds?
**[04:40] ---**
Coming right up!
**[04:44] ---**
M-my pancake!
**[04:47] ---**
Say you're sorry to my pancake! Do it!
**[04:50] ---**
Do it right now and I might forgive you.
**[04:52] ---**
So are you? Aren't you? Well?!
**[04:53] ---**
You're not gonna?
**[04:55] ---**
Well have a load of this then!
**[04:58] ---**
Hiya!
**[05:00] ---**
There it is, Chika's famous aero-slam.
**[05:03] ---**
You wanna mess, string bean?!
**[05:06] ---**
Lemme go!
**[05:07] ---**
Woah, that's a wing lock!
**[05:09] ---**
...right?
**[05:10] ---**
I mean, Reona said if we got into
fights on the ship, she'd toss us
**[05:14] ---**
out no matter how high up we were, so...
**[05:16] ---**
I'm not sure that means "go ahead and
get into fights on the ground", does it?
**[05:19] ---**
Wait, it doesn't?!
**[05:20] ---**
What were you even doing there, Chika?
**[05:22] ---**
Don't you still have a few bolts in you?
**[05:24] ---**
It's your fault!
**[05:25] ---**
How?
**[05:26] ---**
How could the five of you go out without me?
**[05:28] ---**
And for curry and rice, too!
**[05:30] ---**
We were all under the impression
that you were still hospitalized, Chika.
**[05:32] ---**
Your diagnosis called for two months of care,
yet today is only day forty three.
**[05:35] ---**
You coulda at least checked
in on my discharge day!
**[05:37] ---**
Nope, nope, nope!
**[05:39] ---**
Well?
**[05:40] ---**
What?
**[05:40] ---**
How many did you shoot down?
**[05:42] ---**
Two, why?
**[05:43] ---**
That's it?
**[05:44] ---**
I don't want to hear it from
you, little Miss Retreater.
**[05:46] ---**
That was all an accident!
**[05:47] ---**
And it wouldn't have even happened
if you had been there to back me up!
**[05:49] ---**
Because you always fly off on your own!
**[05:51] ---**
Well then follow me! Back
me up! Cover for me!
**[05:52] ---**
You know what? I don't even
feel sorry for you anymore.
**[05:54] ---**
And here I was, ready to apologize!
**[05:55] ---**
Yeah right! Liar liar pants on fire!
**[05:57] ---**
I'm about to kick you both out.
**[05:58] ---**
Kylie! Chika!
**[05:59] ---**
You'd best control yourselves
in front of the Madame!
**[06:01] ---**
She has no patience for this
sort of crude nonsense!
**[06:03] ---**
Okay!
**[06:08] ---**
Thanks for coming.
**[06:09] ---**
Sorry to call you out on your time off.
**[06:10] ---**
Not a problem.
**[06:11] ---**
Right, so, we've got some urgent work, see?
**[06:14] ---**
And I'm hoping we can get going
as soon as we're all prepped.
**[06:16] ---**
Where are we headed?
**[06:18] ---**
Uhh, well...
**[06:19] ---**
To Gadoll.
**[06:20] ---**
What are we carrying?
**[06:22] ---**
More like "who".
**[06:23] ---**
Really?
**[06:25] ---**
This is the sort of aircraft
the Ouni Company flies?
**[06:27] ---**
It almost screams destitution.
**[06:29] ---**
And what's with this stench?
**[06:30] ---**
Are you raising cows, or sheep, or
albatross on the bridge or something?
**[06:33] ---**
Councilor Julia...
**[06:34] ---**
Imagine that, someone in
this wretched place actually knows my name.
**[06:38] ---**
Well, your reputation precedes you, ma'am!
**[06:40] ---**
I'm far from honored.
**[06:42] ---**
Sorry, then...
**[06:43] ---**
Loulou, these hardly seem like the sort
of crew members you'd be proud of.
**[06:47] ---**
You will be riding aboard the
Hagoromo here, Councilor Julia.
**[06:51] ---**
But the council has also dispatched a second craft
with eight Shoki fighters on board to assist us.
**[06:57] ---**
The Yufang Ki-44 Fighter, A.K.A.
the Army Type 2 Single-Seat Fighter.
**[07:01] ---**
Reona, I want your KOTOBUKI squad
to brief with them as well.
**[07:05] ---**
Roger that.
**[07:06] ---**
I have no problems with an envoy,
**[07:08] ---**
but you should know
that'll make you an easier target for pirates.
**[07:10] ---**
As long as we have far greater numbers,
we will simply
**[07:12] ---**
overwhelm them without need for battle.
**[07:14] ---**
Or are you too much of
a fool to realize that?
**[07:16] ---**
Sorry, a fool I am, I guess.
**[07:17] ---**
Are you quite sure this crew will do?
**[07:18] ---**
You do realize that if anything should happen to me,
it won't only be your pathetic company...
**[07:21] ---**
but the entirety of Rahama
that is held responsible, yes?
**[07:23] ---**
Well then, Madame Julia, instead of
flying on such a "pathetic" craft
**[07:26] ---**
perhaps you should ask elsewhere.
**[07:28] ---**
Well listen to that!
**[07:29] ---**
Did you hear that, Loulou?
**[07:31] ---**
Have you not taught your crew any manners?
**[07:33] ---**
How dare they speak to a customer like this?
**[07:35] ---**
My humble apologies, oh noble client of ours.
**[07:39] ---**
I'm in a good mood so perhaps I'll enlighten you on
why I chose you and this vessel.
**[07:44] ---**
Oh, please do.
**[07:47] ---**
Because I despise you.
**[07:50] ---**
Why does it always have to be
another woman with an attitude?
**[07:53] ---**
Come on now, it's only a one-way,
two day trip yet she bought up all these supplies!
**[07:58] ---**
For a lowly cook like me,
Julia may as well be royalty.
**[08:01] ---**
Another one of your big
important jobs, I take it?
**[08:04] ---**
Gimme a break. A man's gotta make a living.
**[08:07] ---**
What's your deal, you old creep?
**[08:09] ---**
Go on and take a sip.
**[08:15] ---**
Where'd you get your hands
on something aged like this?!
**[08:17] ---**
You know the old Yufang arms factory
ruins outside town?
**[08:21] ---**
Sure I do. But that place
is picked clean already...
**[08:26] ---**
You telling me it wasn't?
**[08:27] ---**
Sure wasn't.
**[08:29] ---**
Well, color me surprised.
**[08:31] ---**
It's like a parting gift from Yufang.
**[08:33] ---**
Yep. A real eighty year old treasure.
**[08:36] ---**
On our route towards Gadoll,
our first checkpoint will be in eastern Rahama.
**[08:40] ---**
Traveling at 80 degrees for 260 kilometers
will bring us to Mt. Ofkoh.
**[08:43] ---**
From here we will shift direction
five degrees to the right.
**[08:45] ---**
And from there we will head for
our second checkpoint at Wasaki Pass.
**[08:49] ---**
Last week there were reported sightings of
the Shirokuma Air Pirates.
**[08:52] ---**
Then we're probably looking
at Type 96 Carrier fighters.
**[08:54] ---**
These pirates are as sneaky
as they are persistent.
**[08:57] ---**
We can't have anyone pursuing
any of them too far solo.
**[08:59] ---**
Understood.
**[09:00] ---**
Your Shoki fighters are faster and
climb better than our Hayabusa,
**[09:02] ---**
and you're far heavier equipped.
**[09:04] ---**
I expect you will be able to respond
to any situation promptly.
**[09:08] ---**
Any questions?
**[09:09] ---**
Me, me!
**[09:11] ---**
Looking as much alike as you do, I
bet since you live and eat together,
**[09:15] ---**
everything must look a lot alike!
**[09:16] ---**
Even your po-
**[09:16] ---**
-and stuff?
**[09:18] ---**
All right then, now let's just hope
no pirates bother showing up.
**[09:22] ---**
You heard the Madame being all
"My humblest apologies", right?
**[09:24] ---**
I couldn't believe it!
**[09:26] ---**
It's because she's our client.
**[09:27] ---**
But she said she hated the Madame.
**[09:30] ---**
Does that mean they know each other
well enough to hate one another?
**[09:32] ---**
That didn't seem like a
"we just met" sorta hate.
**[09:35] ---**
Sometimes you have a truly
surprising eye for things, don't you?
**[09:39] ---**
I would appreciate it if you made
your point more clear for me.
**[09:43] ---**
Well, in order to truly "hate" someone...
**[09:45] ---**
...you must first get to know them, their preferences,
and their hobbies via long term interaction.
**[09:50] ---**
Which would mean the Madame and the Lady
must be at least acquaintances, if not more.
**[09:55] ---**
I see. That seems logical.
**[09:57] ---**
Wait, wait!
**[09:58] ---**
I know a certain someone who I couldn't stand
the moment I laid eyes on them!
**[10:01] ---**
Oh yeah?!
**[10:02] ---**
Yes, yes...
**[10:02] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[10:17] ---**
At least the food here is bearable.
**[10:19] ---**
Not that it isn't overly salted.
**[10:20] ---**
I will send word to the chef, Counc-
**[10:23] ---**
Miss Julia.
**[10:24] ---**
I should be getting back to my duties now.
**[10:26] ---**
Why not let your navigators
take care of things?
**[10:28] ---**
Or are you just sick of being here with me?
**[10:30] ---**
No no, don't be absurd!
**[10:32] ---**
Take a look.
**[10:34] ---**
You can see the abandoned
town of Kimano from here.
**[10:36] ---**
Hard to believe this place was bustling
with activity not long ago, isn't it?
**[10:39] ---**
It's hardly been 10 years, has it?
**[10:42] ---**
Rahama still has its salt mines, fortunately.
**[10:44] ---**
The real tragedy is in places with nothing
to offer like Mototsu and Murogashi.
**[10:48] ---**
They've lost half their population
in just the past three years, I hear.
**[10:51] ---**
Rahama, Gadoll, heck, even Porokka
can't just sit around idly now.
**[10:56] ---**
No place can, except Ikesuka, that is.
**[10:58] ---**
I take it you're a more
radical politician, then?
**[11:00] ---**
Or rather, part of the
radical integration faction?
**[11:03] ---**
I would appreciate it if you refrained
from trying to label me.
**[11:05] ---**
People like you, who jump to conclusions and
act like they know it all are the worst.
**[11:08] ---**
Sorry...
**[11:09] ---**
Listen, there really isn't any other way.
**[11:11] ---**
We're all in this game of survival together.
**[11:14] ---**
Not fall prey to the illusion of freedom those
wretched lot want to try and entrap us in.
**[11:19] ---**
Sure we must do so with unfavorable folk,
**[11:22] ---**
but isn't mutual survival better
than mutual obliteration?
**[11:25] ---**
Which is why we must work together.
**[11:29] ---**
Or what, are you against us all
standing on equal grounds?
**[11:33] ---**
Do you support that bastard Isao and
whatever he calls his little alliance?
**[11:37] ---**
Or are you just some simpleton who hasn't even
given the situation a moment's thought?
**[11:40] ---**
You might just say I'm on the fence.
**[11:42] ---**
Or more accurately, that I'm more of
a traditional centrist of sorts, maybe.
**[11:45] ---**
What a dull man you are.
**[11:46] ---**
Right, sorry.
**[11:47] ---**
She's certainly made herself plenty of enemies
with her incendiary remarks, hasn't she?
**[11:52] ---**
With that ex-pirate re-integration bill of hers,
she stirred up all sorts of trouble.
**[11:55] ---**
She seems to enjoy herself
the more enemies she makes.
**[11:57] ---**
She's had these weird perversions
for a long while now.
**[11:59] ---**
"Perversions"?!
**[12:00] ---**
Have you two known each other a long time?
**[12:02] ---**
Ever since our kinder-days.
**[12:03] ---**
"Kinder"?
**[12:05] ---**
Like kindergarten.
**[12:06] ---**
I expect she intends to stir
up trouble in Gadoll, too.
**[12:08] ---**
Oh right, there's going to be
a general session there, isn't there?
**[12:11] ---**
She's like some kind of gang leader, huh?
**[12:12] ---**
"Gang"?
**[12:14] ---**
"Leader"?
**[12:15] ---**
She's pushing for a system that
will help support and find work
**[12:18] ---**
for any who wash their hands of the trade.
**[12:20] ---**
So? What's wrong with that?
**[12:21] ---**
Yeah, why?
**[12:23] ---**
Some people just don't feel like
they can trust former criminals.
**[12:26] ---**
What a bunch of tight-asses!
**[12:28] ---**
We might even start losing work to them.
**[12:31] ---**
Well I don't like the sound of that!
**[12:32] ---**
It's only natural to not want to
**[12:34] ---**
dish out money for ex-pirates when
folks are struggling themselves.
**[12:39] ---**
My! Hayabusa's are certainly
cute, aren't they?
**[12:42] ---**
I'm quite fond of them.
**[12:43] ---**
It's the shape of their wings.
**[12:45] ---**
There's just something to them.
**[12:47] ---**
"Something"?
**[12:48] ---**
If only they weren't so frail.
**[12:50] ---**
The plating is so flimsy,
and they're armed with what, toys?
**[12:53] ---**
Plus they drop if you so much as graze them.
**[12:55] ---**
You're not wrong.
**[12:57] ---**
But with the right pilot,
its light weight really gives it an advantage.
**[13:01] ---**
Does it, though?
**[13:02] ---**
I'd say it seems quite like
someone in their birthday suit
**[13:04] ---**
charging at a giant in a full suit of armor.
**[13:06] ---**
Am I wrong, my little pilots?
**[13:09] ---**
Loulou seems quite fond of you, you know.
**[13:13] ---**
Is she?
**[13:14] ---**
No way!
**[13:15] ---**
Yes way.
**[13:16] ---**
She's a twisted woman though,
so I doubt you'd notice.
**[13:20] ---**
You wouldn't believe how many boys would
**[13:22] ---**
fall for her only to be stolen
away by me back in the day!
**[13:25] ---**
Like a love triangle?
**[13:27] ---**
Oh no, it'd never go that far.
**[13:29] ---**
I'd get to them before they'd get to her,
bend them to my will, and then toss them aside.
**[13:33] ---**
How depraved.
**[13:34] ---**
Why thank you.
**[13:35] ---**
What would Loulou do if I
stole you all away from her?
**[13:39] ---**
If you truly think you can carry on like this,
you've honestly got your heads in the clouds.
**[13:49] ---**
We've spotted aircraft incoming 50 kilometers
from our one o'clock.
**[13:51] ---**
Message from the escort squad.
Visuals on radar. Three groups of bogeys.
**[13:55] ---**
We're currently moving eastward
at a speed of 55 kilos.
**[14:23] ---**
No way!
**[14:24] ---**
Why do I have to back Kylie up?
**[14:26] ---**
I wanna be up front!
**[14:27] ---**
It's not like I-
**[14:28] ---**
If you can't learn from
your past mistakes or
**[14:30] ---**
even follow orders, then I'm
going to keep you grounded.
**[14:32] ---**
You are 2.8% more likely to be shot down on
your first flight back from a break.
**[14:36] ---**
Not me!
**[14:37] ---**
You're fresh out of the hospital,
so just do as you're told.
**[14:41] ---**
For fighter pilots one's patience and
one's lifespan go hand-in-hand, you know.
**[14:45] ---**
They do?
**[14:46] ---**
Quick-tempered pilots are
always the first to fall!
**[14:49] ---**
Think of this as a good chance to reflect on
what went wrong last time.
**[14:52] ---**
We'll be facing off against the Shirokuma Pirates
in their cat-marked crafts.
**[14:54] ---**
They'll be primarily flying
Type 96 Carrier-based Fighters.
**[14:56] ---**
We aren't expecting there
will be too many of them.
**[15:02] ---**
Ready for takeoff.
**[15:37] ---**
Fly high, KOTOBUKI Flight Corps!
**[15:39] ---**
Roger!
**[16:03] ---**
Confirming bogey count...
**[16:04] ---**
Twenty... No, thirty!
**[16:06] ---**
Whoa wait, what kind of numbers are those?!
**[16:07] ---**
I knew it.
**[16:08] ---**
Knew what?!
**[16:10] ---**
No ordinary air pirates would
come after me like this.
**[16:15] ---**
How did these pirates get Hiens?!
**[16:25] ---**
Something's off.
**[16:26] ---**
They're flying Hiens instead of Type 96s?
**[16:29] ---**
Where did they find the funds for that?
**[16:38] ---**
They certainly shoot well for
a bunch of horrid pirates!
**[16:54] ---**
Nothing beats being back in the skies!
**[16:56] ---**
Chika!
**[16:56] ---**
You're supposed to be covering Kylie!
**[17:47] ---**
Are these really the Shirokuma Pirates?
**[17:48] ---**
I've never seen them in numbers like this.
Or with Hiens for that matter.
**[17:51] ---**
Their formations are too controlled, too.
**[17:53] ---**
Well, at least one group out here is.
**[18:04] ---**
Chika, fall behind Kylie!
**[18:38] ---**
You could at least try flying
in sync with me behind you!
**[18:41] ---**
These Hayabusa aren't made
so you can see behind you!
**[18:43] ---**
Why the heck are we even
grouped in twos then?
**[18:45] ---**
Don't forget I'm flying behind you!
**[18:48] ---**
I'm not just here to cover your butt!
**[18:50] ---**
That's exactly what I wanted
to say to you on our last job!
**[18:53] ---**
Where do you get off talking
like that to me, now?
**[18:55] ---**
Well say it next time!
Tell me! Share it with me!
**[18:57] ---**
Chika! Kylie! Incoming!
**[18:59] ---**
Hey, hey, hey now!
**[19:01] ---**
Were you even listening, Kylie?!
**[19:04] ---**
You big dumb doofus! I hate you!
**[19:11] ---**
Chika, about what you said earlier...
**[19:12] ---**
What now?
**[19:13] ---**
If you eat the same things
and do all the same stuff,
**[19:15] ---**
do you really start to
become almost the same?
**[19:16] ---**
What?!
**[19:17] ---**
Like you said before!
**[19:18] ---**
Gah, of course normal people will
if they spend all day every day together!
**[19:22] ---**
Who knows with you, though!
**[19:25] ---**
Well then...
**[19:26] ---**
Here goes!
**[19:46] ---**
Out of ammo?
**[19:47] ---**
Now's my chance!
**[19:48] ---**
Wha?!
**[19:49] ---**
Chika!
**[20:20] ---**
Color me impressed.
**[20:21] ---**
To think they could fly in unison like that.
**[20:24] ---**
It is indeed intriguing.
**[20:30] ---**
Well, that certainly was just tough enough on them
to get their heads on straight.
**[20:35] ---**
They're not really the sort
to learn from their mistakes.
**[20:38] ---**
Kylie and Chika would probably both deny it,
**[20:41] ---**
but there's a lot of similarities
in the way they fly.
**[20:53] ---**
How boring.
**[20:54] ---**
What?!
**[21:00] ---**
First Officer, I want you to dispatch rescue crew
to the downed escort planes.
**[21:04] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[21:07] ---**
Much appreciated, Loulou.
**[21:10] ---**
Thank you for flying with us.
**[21:12] ---**
Where's my, "We look forward
to you flying with us again"?
**[21:15] ---**
This was the last time. I will
not have you onboard again.
**[21:18] ---**
Even if I slap that face of
yours with another wad of cash?
**[21:21] ---**
You're not the type to say
that in jest either, are you?
**[21:24] ---**
Was this not a profitable venture?
**[21:29] ---**
I do love you, you know, Loulou!
**[21:32] ---**
Hey did you see it? Did
you see what I pulled off?
**[21:35] ---**
Pulled down on the bird tailing her!
**[21:36] ---**
And bang-bang-bang! Amazing, eh?
**[21:38] ---**
Chika, we've heard enough.
**[21:40] ---**
Eleven times already.
**[21:41] ---**
Eleven being the fifth
prime number, by the way.
**[21:43] ---**
Are you even listening? Listen!
**[21:44] ---**
M'kay!
**[21:45] ---**
Don't "M'kay" me!
**[22:04] ---**
Ano sora o jiyuu ni kakenukete mitai to

**[00:11] ---**
Good morning. You're up early, as usual.
**[00:14] ---**
It's already 9 o'clock, you know.
**[00:16] ---**
Kylie and the rest of
them are still out cold.
**[00:18] ---**
I take it you all must have
stayed out well after I left.
**[00:22] ---**
We gotta enjoy ourselves
every once in a while.
**[00:23] ---**
Especially after dealing with
our last bit of "cargo".
**[00:27] ---**
Plus we all got a nice hefty bonus, too.
**[00:29] ---**
I suppose that's true.
**[00:30] ---**
What?
**[00:31] ---**
I was just thinking how much
our tenacious Reona has changed.
**[00:34] ---**
Especially since I first
met you back in Sapo.
**[00:37] ---**
Spare me your sentimentality.
**[00:44] ---**
Rahama is up in flames?
**[00:45] ---**
And we're not talking small
flames. What should we do?
**[00:48] ---**
Rahama control tower, this
is the Hagoromo, come in.
**[00:51] ---**
Repeat...
**[00:52] ---**
What does the Madame have to say?
**[00:53] ---**
Well, see she told me never to wake her up
unless we're under attack, so...
**[00:57] ---**
I'll head for the bridge straight away.
**[00:58] ---**
Make it quick!
**[00:59] ---**
You'll wanna wake up the others, right?
**[01:01] ---**
Can you do that for me?
**[01:03] ---**
But only after you get some clothes on.
**[01:04] ---**
Hmm?
**[01:17] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[01:24] ---**
Flying through the mesh of clouds
**[01:27] ---**
Our dancing wings wrap up in the wind
**[01:31] ---**
Stars fall right before our eyes
**[01:40] ---**
The blue of all blues that drew us in
**[01:44] ---**
We kicked up off the blurring ground
**[01:47] ---**
Let me hear the sound of the sky you know
**[01:54] ---**
Take flight make gravity your ally
**[02:01] ---**
One more time, however many
times, laughing all along
**[02:08] ---**
We would never look back when we fly
**[02:15] ---**
An everlasting dream we
live in pursuit of tomorrow
**[02:20] ---**
Amid rising despair I locked away my love
**[02:23] ---**
I hate my weak self
**[02:26] ---**
Here and now passes by as
we head towards the future
**[02:36] ---**
Rahama's Longest Day
**[02:36] ---**
Well, it's hard to imagine anything worse
than being struck by calamity.
**[02:39] ---**
But we were fortunate enough to get
all the fires put out without a hitch.
**[02:42] ---**
There wasn't even a single casualty.
**[02:44] ---**
All thanks to the firefighters and
our vigilante force. How splendid!
**[02:48] ---**
There's nothing "splendid" about this at all!
**[02:49] ---**
That was where the vigilante force
was stationed, wasn't it?
**[02:49] ---**
There isn't?
**[02:51] ---**
Did someone start a fire?
**[02:53] ---**
Sheesh.
**[02:54] ---**
This is just the sorta thing I'd expect
from you, you bunch of idiots.
**[02:57] ---**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[02:58] ---**
I come from a long, honorable
line of paupers, you know!
**[03:01] ---**
Is that a friend of Chika's?
**[03:02] ---**
Hey! That's the guy who picked a fight with her
and got aero-slammed into a pulp!
**[03:05] ---**
I was just going easy on you,
'cause you were all hurt and stuff!
**[03:08] ---**
I'd never lose if I was
actually trying to win!
**[03:10] ---**
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
**[03:12] ---**
But are you really gonna pick
a fight with me right now?
**[03:14] ---**
This is 12.7mm ammunition.
**[03:15] ---**
After you went and let
your offices burn down?
**[03:16] ---**
A repacked junk shell.
**[03:18] ---**
The sort that air pirates tend to use.
**[03:20] ---**
Air pirates?!
**[03:21] ---**
Oh no, they weren't pirates.
**[03:22] ---**
They called themselves "Elite Industries".
**[03:25] ---**
What a ridiculous name.
**[03:26] ---**
They still attacked you though, didn't they?
**[03:28] ---**
Aren't you guys supposed to be vigilantes?
**[03:30] ---**
You just let them pummel you
without even fighting back?
**[03:32] ---**
All of us bravely fought as best we could!
**[03:35] ---**
But our valiant efforts were for naught
and we exhausted all our options!
**[03:37] ---**
So you lost, then.
**[03:39] ---**
Tell us everything that happened.
**[03:41] ---**
We've got... one, two, three...
**[03:44] ---**
Just a whole bunch of incoming bogeys!
**[03:51] ---**
Howdy, howdy, good folks of Rahama!
**[03:54] ---**
We are Elite Industries.
**[03:56] ---**
Elite Industries, I say!
**[03:58] ---**
An inferno of hardships
**[03:59] ---**
Have no fear!
**[04:00] ---**
Spurting blood billowing up from a sandy pit
**[04:00] ---**
We'll just be borrowing your runway here!
**[04:02] ---**
We'll chase you to the ends of this world
**[04:03] ---**
Thank you for your cooperation!
**[04:06] ---**
There's no use running
**[04:10] ---**
Oh we are a company, we are no air pirates
**[04:14] ---**
Come along chosen ones, you are the elite
**[04:18] ---**
Elite industries
**[04:26] ---**
Howdy, howdy! Pleasure to meet ya, Mr. Mayor!
**[04:29] ---**
The name's Torihei,
and I'm the president and CEO of Elite Industries.
**[04:34] ---**
Truth is, we're here with a once in a lifetime sort
**[04:37] ---**
of business proposal to
share with you all today!
**[04:41] ---**
What sort of proposal?
**[04:42] ---**
Yes, well you see, I've
heard word that this town
**[04:44] ---**
of yours has one fine
fighter plane tucked away.
**[04:47] ---**
Oh, you mean our Raiden?
**[04:49] ---**
So it's true?!
**[04:49] ---**
Mr. Mayor!
**[04:50] ---**
Our company started off as
a simple logistics company.
**[04:53] ---**
But we've since adopted a
corporate mission to innovate
**[04:56] ---**
via concepts, technologies,
and entrepreneurship.
**[04:59] ---**
And now we have been striving
to make contributions to cultural endeavors.
**[05:01] ---**
Using our fleet of now more than 40 fighters
to spread culture far and wide.
**[05:06] ---**
But we still don't have
all the manpower we need.
**[05:08] ---**
And we were looking around for just the right
sort of fighter plane to do the job, see...
**[05:12] ---**
When we heard that just such
a craft might be found here,
**[05:14] ---**
we came out to see if we might strike a deal!
**[05:17] ---**
Of course we're willing to make a trade of comparable,
if not even more value!
**[05:22] ---**
Ta-da!
**[05:24] ---**
You want us to trade our Raiden for that?
**[05:26] ---**
The ukiyo-e that were
once brought over by the
**[05:29] ---**
Yufang still fetch a high
price among collectors.
**[05:31] ---**
And this here is an impeccable recreation
**[05:33] ---**
complete
with an official serial code and everything!
**[05:35] ---**
So you're saying it's a fake?
**[05:37] ---**
Oh no, no, no, no!
**[05:38] ---**
The value of art lays in the piece itself,
not in its authenticity!
**[05:41] ---**
This will one day fetch a
high price! I guarantee it!
**[05:44] ---**
Enough of this non-sense!
This thing is nothing but a bunch of scribbles!
**[05:48] ---**
I wouldn't even trade a paper plane for that!
**[05:52] ---**
So be it, then.
**[05:54] ---**
We'll try again some other time.
**[05:55] ---**
Y-you will?
**[05:56] ---**
This was quite the sudden request, after all.
**[05:59] ---**
It's only natural that you might want
some time to think it over.
**[06:08] ---**
What a relief!
**[06:09] ---**
Thank goodness they were so understanding.
**[06:12] ---**
A bitter picaresque
**[06:15] ---**
The bloody gore sticks
never to be wiped clean
**[06:16] ---**
Wait!
**[06:19] ---**
Wherever you hide we will find you
**[06:23] ---**
It's your own fault
**[06:29] ---**
Oh we are a corporation,
we'd never rip you off
**[06:30] ---**
That's what you get!
**[06:31] ---**
See, our policy with clients who
don't seem to see the value of our offers...
**[06:33] ---**
Come along prepare to be
duped, instead we are elite
**[06:34] ---**
is to give them a crash course in "trade"!
**[06:37] ---**
Now then, we'll be back in three days
with our entire staff!
**[06:37] ---**
Elite industries
**[06:40] ---**
So you'd best think this over
real well, you lousy louses!
**[06:43] ---**
We won't take no for an answer!
**[06:45] ---**
So what was that about
"bravely fighting," then?
**[06:47] ---**
You guys didn't even try!
**[06:50] ---**
Wait, but a Raiden, though?
**[06:52] ---**
Since when did you guys have
something like that here?
**[06:53] ---**
Wow, so that's a Raiden?
**[06:56] ---**
1800 horsepower.
**[06:57] ---**
50 kilometers per hour faster
than the Hayabusa. Sporting four 20mm cannons.
**[07:00] ---**
But that all makes it so sluggish.
I can't say I care for them.
**[07:03] ---**
This has been passed down as
the mayor's personal craft, hasn't it?
**[07:06] ---**
What?! You can fly?
**[07:08] ---**
I used to be a pilot, you know!
**[07:09] ---**
Back in the day people used to call me
the Prince of the Rahama skies-
**[07:11] ---**
Yeah, yeah... maybe once
upon a time, you were.
**[07:12] ---**
What about those pirates, though?
**[07:14] ---**
They'll be back in three days, right?
**[07:15] ---**
Count me in!
**[07:16] ---**
Wait, are you serious?
**[07:18] ---**
Well, it's not like these guys can handle it!
**[07:20] ---**
They'd be easy pickings for those pirates!
**[07:22] ---**
Doesn't that just drive you mad?
**[07:24] ---**
Sure, it does.
**[07:25] ---**
But if they can't fight back themselves,
how would handing over one fighter hurt?
**[07:30] ---**
It's not like you use it anyway, right?
**[07:31] ---**
That's not a bad idea, huh!
**[07:32] ---**
What?! But Mayor!
**[07:33] ---**
I mean, it's a valuable fighter for sure,
but it's still just one plane, right?
**[07:38] ---**
If we try fighting, who knows
what will happen to the town?
**[07:41] ---**
You get a big nope from me!
**[07:43] ---**
What? What's the big deal?
**[07:45] ---**
I agree with Kylie.
A single craft is not worth risking the entire town.
**[07:49] ---**
Don't go getting ahead
of yourselves, girlies.
**[07:51] ---**
We work for the Ouni Company now.
The Madame is the only one who
**[07:54] ---**
gets to make these decisions.
**[07:57] ---**
If you want to use the KOTOBUKI
Flight Corps to defend the town,
**[08:01] ---**
I must ask that you speak to me, first.
**[08:05] ---**
And the young ladies here will require contracts
and compensation, of course.
**[08:10] ---**
How much might that cost, if I may-
**[08:12] ---**
That's ridiculous! We don't
have that kind of money!
**[08:14] ---**
Fine! We don't need help from
the likes of you, anyway!
**[08:17] ---**
We'll take them on all by ourselves!
**[08:18] ---**
What?!
**[08:18] ---**
How?
**[08:19] ---**
With sheer guts! Right?
**[08:22] ---**
Mr. Mayor, we must request their services.
**[08:24] ---**
Hey, are you sure that's okay for you to say?
**[08:26] ---**
They said they had a fleet of 40 aircraft.
**[08:29] ---**
All we have are eleven Type 97 fighters.
**[08:32] ---**
Even assuming we were matched in skill,
we'd hardly stand a chance.
**[08:35] ---**
We have anti-aircraft
artillery, but we haven't
**[08:38] ---**
had carried out proper
training in over five years.
**[08:40] ---**
Considering the current state
of our vigilante force,
**[08:42] ---**
I believe we'd be best off with their help.
**[08:44] ---**
Please, just say the word.
**[08:46] ---**
I can't do that, though!
**[08:47] ---**
I can't just make these decisions on my own!
**[08:50] ---**
Especially with the elections coming up...
**[08:51] ---**
Mr. Mayor!
**[08:54] ---**
All right, then!
**[08:56] ---**
Let's hold a town meeting and
hear what everyone else has to say!
**[09:00] ---**
You really don't want to make
this decision yourself, do you?
**[09:02] ---**
I'm no dictator!
**[09:04] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[09:06] ---**
We should fight 'em off to the bitter end!
**[09:07] ---**
Hear, hear!
**[09:08] ---**
But still...
**[09:08] ---**
That Raiden is our town's guardian angel!
**[09:10] ---**
Rahama would be left with nothing but shame
if we let it be taken away!
**[09:13] ---**
Who even believes in angels anymore?
**[09:14] ---**
Fighting back will only
cause trouble for the town.
**[09:16] ---**
You're gonna let the pirates win?!
**[09:16] ---**
And we've got public finances to consider...
**[09:18] ---**
Then we should just set up
a special tax or something!
**[09:18] ---**
But still!
**[09:20] ---**
More taxes?! You gotta be kidding!
**[09:21] ---**
What's the vigilante force even doing?
**[09:22] ---**
The town is in crisis!
**[09:22] ---**
Quit trying to downplay this!
**[09:23] ---**
You know, I always thought that
growing old also meant growing wiser, too.
**[09:28] ---**
Age and intelligence do not
increase proportionally.
**[09:29] ---**
The Madame's sure heartless though, huh?
**[09:32] ---**
Reona's her usual stubborn self, too.
**[09:34] ---**
Can't they just stop thinking about the money
**[09:35] ---**
and do something to help
out the town for once?
**[09:37] ---**
What a bunch of cheapskates!
**[09:38] ---**
I bet they're calling you a
**[09:41] ---**
cold-hearted, miserly, cheapskate,
stubborn witch right about now.
**[09:46] ---**
That's all just part of being in charge.
**[09:48] ---**
My, my. You sure have it rough,
don't you, miss squad leader?
**[09:51] ---**
Can I ask you for a moment?
**[09:55] ---**
I think our discussions have
reached their conclusion, so-
**[09:57] ---**
No, they haven't!
**[09:58] ---**
Yes, they have.
**[09:59] ---**
You can't just ask for the impossible.
**[10:02] ---**
We wouldn't even be having this
discussion if the vigilantes
**[10:05] ---**
weren't so useless to begin with!
**[10:07] ---**
Right, so I'm thinking we will accept the offer
by Elite Industries, but what do you say?
**[10:13] ---**
You're a bunch of fools.
**[10:14] ---**
Emma?
**[10:15] ---**
So much so, it honestly
makes me sick to my stomach.
**[10:17] ---**
You're dealing with air pirates.
**[10:19] ---**
Do you truly think when you hand
over your Raiden that they
**[10:21] ---**
will simply pack up and leave?
**[10:23] ---**
You don't think they will?
**[10:24] ---**
This is just standard fare for them.
**[10:26] ---**
They start you off with demands
just tough enough to still be swallow-able.
**[10:29] ---**
But once you do, they come back
with even greater demands.
**[10:34] ---**
And they do it again, and again, and again.
**[10:37] ---**
With their demands getting worse every time.
**[10:40] ---**
And before you know it,
you have nothing left for them to even ask for.
**[10:43] ---**
Yeah, I'm with Emma on this one!
**[10:46] ---**
Let's fight 'em off, people!
**[10:47] ---**
Yeah!
**[10:48] ---**
Mr. Mayor, they're right.
**[10:50] ---**
The only way we can ensure the safety
of this town is to fight back!
**[10:53] ---**
Maybe we should just call for
a recess to think things over-
**[10:55] ---**
And you claim to be in charge of this town?
**[10:57] ---**
A leader who avoids making decisions
like this is no leader at all!
**[11:01] ---**
Do us all a favor and drop
dead for us here now, then!
**[11:03] ---**
Trust me, if we could make it work,
I'd rather fight back, too!
**[11:07] ---**
But even if everyone here agreed,
our budget simply doesn't!
**[11:12] ---**
You're certain you want to fight, then?
**[11:15] ---**
I'm here with an offer
from the Madame herself.
**[11:17] ---**
If I'm being honest with you, this is too big of
a task for the KOTOBUKI Flight Corps alone.
**[11:20] ---**
But she says if everyone in town is willing to help,
perhaps we can lend a hand.
**[11:24] ---**
And if you do, she'll cut you a fine deal.
**[11:27] ---**
Yeah... Back in the day we all used
to keep this place safe together.
**[11:32] ---**
So that's what we gotta do!
**[11:33] ---**
We all gotta stand up, so no one
thinks they can take advantage of us!
**[11:36] ---**
Mr. Mayor, it's time to make a decision.
**[11:37] ---**
Mr. Mayor!
**[11:38] ---**
Mr. Mayor!
**[11:39] ---**
Mr. Mayor!
**[11:42] ---**
All right! Then we fight!
**[12:09] ---**
These "Elites" sure are
taking their time, huh?
**[12:12] ---**
Any chance they might have thought
things over and changed their minds?
**[12:16] ---**
No, huh?
**[12:18] ---**
I know, I know!
**[12:23] ---**
This is Red Dragonfly Three!
**[12:24] ---**
I've got eyes on enemy fighters coming
in from the north-northwest!
**[12:27] ---**
From the opposite direction?!
**[12:28] ---**
That's not how this was supposed to play out!
**[12:30] ---**
We misread our enemy,
**[12:31] ---**
and they're now moving in from the
opposite direction of the KOTOBUKI squad.
**[12:34] ---**
Which means we'll be taking the lead!
**[12:36] ---**
It'll be fifteen minutes
till they make it back.
**[12:39] ---**
We need to hold them off until then!
**[12:41] ---**
Bring 'em on! Let's show 'em what
we vigilantes are made of!
**[12:45] ---**
That's the spirit!
**[12:46] ---**
But don't let it get to your head!
**[12:47] ---**
And don't let them scare you off, either!
**[12:50] ---**
Rahama Vigilantes, take off!
**[13:10] ---**
Here come their fighters.
**[13:12] ---**
They're looking for a fight!
**[13:14] ---**
The nerve. And here I was ready to compromise
**[13:17] ---**
and offer them another
ukiyo-e to seal the deal!
**[13:22] ---**
How dare they turn down our
boss- our CEO's kindness!
**[13:25] ---**
They must pay for this!
**[13:26] ---**
They will!
**[13:28] ---**
Spare no sympathy for the sorts that
can't see how much our art is worth!
**[13:32] ---**
HR department! Swat down those flies!
**[13:34] ---**
Sales team, light up all their infrastructure
to teach them a lesson!
**[13:38] ---**
But don't you even put a dent on that Raiden!
**[13:41] ---**
Aye aye, sir!
**[13:42] ---**
They're splitting up!
**[13:43] ---**
They might have the numbers,
but we have greater firepower!
**[13:46] ---**
Don't let them shoot you down!
**[13:58] ---**
Here's what you get for breaking
the code of the trade.
**[14:05] ---**
What the heck?!
**[14:06] ---**
They've got the Raiden out
right in the middle of town!
**[14:10] ---**
Go on and shoot if you like!
**[14:10] ---**
Idiots!
**[14:11] ---**
Go on then, you stinkin' pirates!
**[14:12] ---**
Fire!
**[14:18] ---**
Dangit! They aren't making this easy!
**[14:58] ---**
Damn!
**[15:04] ---**
Wait! Cap'n!
**[15:05] ---**
You idiot. Getting all worked up
only means you've already lost.
**[15:08] ---**
Get 'em!
**[15:12] ---**
Cap'n!
**[15:16] ---**
Out of my way, you.
**[15:21] ---**
Tokiwagi!
**[15:30] ---**
KOTOBUKI!
**[15:31] ---**
Good work holding them off!
**[15:32] ---**
We'll take things from here!
**[15:34] ---**
Stick to the plan.
**[15:35] ---**
Chika and Kate along with
Zara and I will pick them off from up here.
**[15:39] ---**
Kylie and Emma, you two work
with everyone on the ground!
**[15:41] ---**
Roger that!
**[15:45] ---**
I'm not gonna lose out to another Hayabusa!
**[15:48] ---**
The Type-3 can fly 30 kilometers
per hour faster than the Type-1,
**[15:50] ---**
so if they shake us we can't catch up.
**[15:51] ---**
Like I care!
**[15:59] ---**
Gotcha!
**[16:10] ---**
All right!
**[16:19] ---**
Oh no, you don't!
**[16:51] ---**
What's the deal with these guys?
**[16:52] ---**
Perhaps it's the KOTOBUKI Flight Corps?
**[16:54] ---**
Hmph, like we don't have
enough enemies already.
**[16:56] ---**
Take 'em out!
**[17:00] ---**
Stop aiming at them!
You need to anticipate their movements!
**[17:22] ---**
Emma, it's time to do this!
**[17:23] ---**
You don't need to tell me!
**[17:44] ---**
How dare you shoot down our sales chief!
**[18:04] ---**
You little...! You're going down!
**[18:13] ---**
There they go! They're yours!
**[18:14] ---**
Very well, then!
**[18:30] ---**
Fire!
**[18:39] ---**
Nice! It worked!
**[18:40] ---**
We aren't finished yet.
**[18:55] ---**
How dare you treat my lovely staff this way!
**[18:57] ---**
Emma!
**[18:58] ---**
I won't go down that easy...
**[19:10] ---**
A rear gunner?!
**[19:14] ---**
Emma!
**[19:22] ---**
Time to boost our results!
**[19:31] ---**
Not on my watch!
**[19:35] ---**
The Raiden?!
**[19:42] ---**
Don't you underestimate the
Prince of the Rahama skies!
**[19:48] ---**
Dammit! Listen up!
Don't you dare shoot down that Raiden!
**[19:51] ---**
They aren't shooting back?
**[19:52] ---**
This might be crazy enough to work!
**[19:53] ---**
Emma!
**[19:54] ---**
Emma!
**[20:09] ---**
Emma!
**[20:10] ---**
I'm all right.
**[20:12] ---**
And I'm sorry...
**[20:13] ---**
Why you...!
**[20:14] ---**
You...!
**[20:28] ---**
Special delivery!
**[20:31] ---**
Pleasure doing business with ya!
**[20:32] ---**
All right, fall back!
**[20:34] ---**
Aye aye, sir!
**[20:44] ---**
Can anyone keep on them?!
**[20:45] ---**
It's too late, and I'm out of ammo.
**[20:51] ---**
Pull up.
**[20:52] ---**
Everyone fought together and
still this is how things end?!
**[20:55] ---**
The town's in pretty bad shape, too.
**[20:57] ---**
Maybe they really should have
just handed it over to begin with.
**[21:00] ---**
Far from it.
**[21:02] ---**
Rahama has shown that we have what it takes
to work together to take on any air pirates.
**[21:06] ---**
I doubt they'll show their faces
around here again for a while.
**[21:09] ---**
This is the sort of wake up call I needed.
**[21:11] ---**
To remind me what it really
means to protect the town.
**[21:31] ---**
I'm sorry for being such a worthless mayor.
**[21:34] ---**
Oh no. I must thank you for coming to my aid.
**[21:37] ---**
Please forgive me for
my crude speech last night, as well.
**[21:41] ---**
Still, the contracts you signed with the town
included a clause about protecting the Raiden.
**[21:48] ---**
You do understand what this means, yes?
**[21:49] ---**
Of course.
**[21:50] ---**
Good.
**[21:52] ---**
Now go on out there and
get that fighter back!
**[21:54] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[22:04] ---**
I wanted to try and soar through that sky
**[22:08] ---**
So I wished upon the winds right before me
**[22:12] ---**
Our aspirations build us scenery
**[22:16] ---**
I wonder how that wind is now
**[22:25] ---**
Why do we fight, I wonder
**[22:29] ---**
What is our purpose here?
**[22:33] ---**
I asked, but the skies do not answer
**[22:42] ---**
We all have wings
**[22:49] ---**
Far away at the end of all lament
**[22:53] ---**
The stories we found
**[22:58] ---**
No one can steal these skies away
**[23:05] ---**
We will soar unafraid of anything
**[23:10] ---**
Because happiness is right here

Elite Fortress
**[01:32] ---**
Fly forth, KOTOBUKI Corps!
**[01:36] ---**
Tomorrow is the day we have waited for!
**[01:40] ---**
Now one pancake! Two pancakes!
Three and four and five pancakes!
**[01:43] ---**
Yes we, we are the KOTOBUKI-
**[01:48] ---**
Enough of your tone-deaf nonsense already!
**[01:50] ---**
Nothing can stop a good song once it starts!
**[01:53] ---**
Plus, squeezing you aboard has already
thrown my fuel efficiency into a nosedive.
**[01:56] ---**
Don't make it worse by complaining!
**[01:56] ---**
A nosedive?
**[01:57] ---**
I don't weigh that much, you know!
**[01:59] ---**
You weigh how many pounds, again?
**[02:01] ---**
It's not by choice.
**[02:02] ---**
Unlike you I merely have a
more full figure, is all.
**[02:17] ---**
Don't forget, this is all because you went
and got shot down yourself!
**[02:21] ---**
Our wings are rays of light!
**[02:23] ---**
Stop-!
**[02:25] ---**
Kylie!
**[02:31] ---**
Settle down, Kylie!
**[02:32] ---**
One of my flaps was feeling a little stuck
so I'm just trying to shake it loose!
**[02:35] ---**
That's not fair, Kylie!
**[02:37] ---**
Reona, my right flap feels off, too!
**[02:39] ---**
And my rudder seems rather tight.
**[02:49] ---**
These girls...
**[02:50] ---**
Where's the harm in it?
**[02:51] ---**
I won't pretend I don't feel the same way.
**[02:53] ---**
We haven't had any time to
fly off the clock in a while.
**[02:57] ---**
Technically we're still "on the clock"
until we get that Raiden back.
**[03:00] ---**
Still, it's been a good while since we've taken
our Hayabusas out for such a long flight.
**[03:05] ---**
We need to fly free like
that every now and again.
**[03:09] ---**
To remind ourselves how
free the great blue sky is.
**[03:11] ---**
And that we only get to fly through it
because of that freedom.
**[03:15] ---**
Freedom doesn't come cheap, though.
**[03:16] ---**
And that's what makes it precious.
**[03:18] ---**
Now then!
**[03:19] ---**
Zara!
**[03:20] ---**
Sheesh...
**[03:40] ---**
What's your problem, cargo gal?
**[03:41] ---**
Well...
**[03:43] ---**
Will it still be a ways
to the Roota Airfield?
**[03:45] ---**
Huh, I dunno. Why?
**[03:47] ---**
N-no reason. Just...
**[03:52] ---**
Well pardon me, girls,
but Emma here needs to visit the ladies room!
**[03:57] ---**
Can she hold it just a bit longer?
**[03:59] ---**
We should make it in
another ten minutes or so.
**[04:02] ---**
I think she's good!
**[04:04] ---**
Roota is a great big place.
A really lovely airfield.
**[04:08] ---**
You sure know a lot about it.
**[04:10] ---**
Have you been out to Roota before?
**[04:11] ---**
Way back when the Corps
was just me and Reona.
**[04:15] ---**
It was always so lively.
**[04:16] ---**
And always stocked up with
plenty of vending machines.
**[04:19] ---**
Any with curry udon?!
**[04:20] ---**
There should be.
**[04:21] ---**
And burgers?
**[04:23] ---**
You bet.
**[04:23] ---**
What about pancakes?
**[04:24] ---**
But of course!
**[04:25] ---**
Yippee!
**[04:26] ---**
Curry udon!
**[04:45] ---**
I can handle this.
**[04:46] ---**
Do I have your permission, Reona?
**[04:47] ---**
Sure.
**[05:21] ---**
Hey! That's my plane you just kicked there!
**[05:24] ---**
Uhmm...
**[05:25] ---**
That way.
**[05:26] ---**
Pardon me...
**[05:28] ---**
Hey, you old fart!
**[05:30] ---**
Is that how you greet people out here?!
**[05:32] ---**
Sorry, I thought those rascals might be back.
**[05:36] ---**
The stinkin' pirates that left
Roota in a mess like this.
**[05:39] ---**
Was it Elite Industries?
**[05:42] ---**
Those morons pretending
they're running some sort of business?
**[05:45] ---**
Nah, it wasn't them.
**[05:46] ---**
It was a scarier lot than that.
**[05:49] ---**
They just flew in, hit our
main facilities, and took off.
**[05:53] ---**
What about the pancakes?
**[05:53] ---**
What about the udon?
**[05:53] ---**
What about the burgers?
**[05:59] ---**
Nooo!
**[06:04] ---**
No...
**[06:06] ---**
How could this be?
**[06:08] ---**
I wondered what you might be screaming about.
**[06:09] ---**
This is unforgivable!
**[06:11] ---**
Unforgivable!
**[06:12] ---**
First they shoot up Rahama,
and now my pancakes?!
**[06:14] ---**
These were two different groups, though.
**[06:16] ---**
Plus, I figured we could
all eat together here...
**[06:20] ---**
So I went ahead and packed
enough for everyone.
**[06:23] ---**
This is so good!
**[06:24] ---**
The best!
**[06:25] ---**
True bliss. Everything is delicious.
**[06:27] ---**
Is this the first time you girls have
ever had some of Zara's cooking?
**[06:29] ---**
Yep!
**[06:30] ---**
Oh yes.
**[06:30] ---**
I never would have imagined
you had such a knack for it!
**[06:33] ---**
Thanks.
**[06:34] ---**
I picked it up a long while back.
**[06:36] ---**
I used to work at an airfield like this.
**[06:39] ---**
That's where I first met Reona, actually.
**[06:41] ---**
Really?
**[06:42] ---**
I never knew.
**[06:43] ---**
Which airfield?
**[06:44] ---**
Sapo.
**[06:45] ---**
Sapo was tiny, but it
sure was a good airfield.
**[06:48] ---**
It was.
**[06:49] ---**
A good place indeed.
**[06:53] ---**
It sounded like you knew
about Elite Industries well enough.
**[06:57] ---**
We're trying to sneak into
their stronghold unnoticed, see...
**[07:00] ---**
That'll be hard to pull off.
**[07:01] ---**
They're holed up in a cave they've carved out
of this big stone mountain.
**[07:04] ---**
A real natural fortress.
**[07:07] ---**
We should just fly straight in,
bust 'em up, take the Raiden and leave!
**[07:10] ---**
And what if they fly the
Raiden out to fight us?
**[07:12] ---**
Do you wanna pull a mid-air hijack
like that boss of theirs?
**[07:14] ---**
No way!
**[07:15] ---**
Absolutely not.
**[07:17] ---**
It would be hard to return this
if we went in guns blazing, too.
**[07:19] ---**
And what might that be?
**[07:21] ---**
An "ukiyo-e," apparently...
**[07:22] ---**
Drawn by some young lady, it would seem.
**[07:24] ---**
Their little empress, there?
**[07:25] ---**
You've met her?
**[07:26] ---**
Nah, but she's the girl their boss
spends all his money on.
**[07:29] ---**
The whole lot of 'em grow soft
as kittens in her presence.
**[07:34] ---**
She's gotta be nothing but bad news.
**[07:36] ---**
Well at any rate, we can't attack without
scouting the place out first.
**[07:39] ---**
We need to find some way to get close.
**[07:41] ---**
Well lookie here, we've got another visitor.
**[07:52] ---**
We were supposed to be performing
for a company dinner!
**[07:54] ---**
You never said it was for
a company of air pirates!
**[07:56] ---**
What's their deal?
**[07:56] ---**
Come on!
**[07:56] ---**
They're a traveling tavern.
**[07:57] ---**
I said no!
**[07:58] ---**
Please!
**[07:58] ---**
Elite Industries throws these "pub"-licity events
and calls out all these gals, see.
**[07:59] ---**
I'll pay you extra for it and
everything, come on, I'm begging you!
**[08:02] ---**
No way!
**[08:02] ---**
Absolutely not!
**[08:03] ---**
I ain't heard nothing but bad things.
**[08:06] ---**
But whaddya expect from
a bunch of air pirates?
**[08:08] ---**
Ack, what am I gonna do?
**[08:10] ---**
These are air pirates we're dealing with,
I can't just go back on our deal now...
**[08:13] ---**
We can't put on a performance
with numbers like these!
**[08:22] ---**
Get a load of this!
**[08:23] ---**
This is another masterpiece
if I've ever seen one!
**[08:25] ---**
It's so cool! So incredible!
**[08:29] ---**
What about it do you find so incredible?
**[08:30] ---**
Well, you know... All of it!
**[08:34] ---**
Listen, I'm gonna make sure
the whole world out there
**[08:37] ---**
sees just how amazing your work is!
**[08:39] ---**
That's a promise!
**[08:44] ---**
Maybe I'm no good at this after all.
**[09:04] ---**
Ladies and gents the moment you
have all waited for is here!
**[09:07] ---**
Behold the Agua Dance Troupe!
**[09:08] ---**
They're finally here!
**[09:11] ---**
Hello there! Thank you all
for such a lively welcome!
**[09:15] ---**
Smooch!
**[09:17] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[09:47] ---**
Well, color me surprised.
**[09:50] ---**
I never imagined you could dance like that.
**[09:51] ---**
Let's just say I've got experience.
**[09:55] ---**
It's a real work of art, eh there, new girl?
**[09:58] ---**
Now as a man of the arts I can be tough to please,
**[10:01] ---**
but you were great out there.
Lemme buy you a drink.
**[10:03] ---**
Be my guest!
**[10:04] ---**
Get us two lite beers!
**[10:06] ---**
What? I'll take a straight vodka and gin.
**[10:09] ---**
Wow!
**[10:09] ---**
That's gotta be like 50 proof!
**[10:10] ---**
She drinks harder than the boss himself!
**[10:13] ---**
I'll take it straight too, then!
**[10:14] ---**
How lovely!
**[10:16] ---**
To the arts!
**[10:17] ---**
Cheers!
**[10:20] ---**
The boss can't hold his liquor like that...
**[10:26] ---**
Jeez, boss!
**[10:27] ---**
See what I mean?
He just hates to be outdone.
**[10:30] ---**
Can't anyone here hold their drink?
**[10:32] ---**
Lemme buy you a drink!
**[10:33] ---**
I can!
**[10:33] ---**
I'll buy your next round!
**[10:33] ---**
Me, me!
**[10:36] ---**
You really are something.
**[10:38] ---**
I've just got experience.
**[10:39] ---**
Now then.
**[10:41] ---**
I need to fix my makeup.
**[10:42] ---**
Take your time!
**[10:43] ---**
Oh, I will!
**[10:48] ---**
Just my luck, getting stuck on shift today.
**[10:51] ---**
At least we're not on guard duty.
**[11:02] ---**
The boss and the young lady are
the only ones with the keys, yes?
**[11:06] ---**
Why don't we rig it to blow, too?
**[11:09] ---**
Perhaps as a last resort.
**[11:11] ---**
A broken Raiden won't do
us much good, now will it?
**[11:19] ---**
You...!
**[11:20] ---**
Sorry for snooping.
**[11:22] ---**
I just didn't want to
break your focus, there.
**[11:25] ---**
Are you a fan of Hokusai?
**[11:28] ---**
Or maybe Kunishige?
**[11:30] ---**
You know about their works?!
**[11:31] ---**
You could say I've got a bit of experience.
**[11:33] ---**
What do you think of my art?
**[11:35] ---**
I think they might be a bit
too on-point for ukiyo-e.
**[11:39] ---**
I get the sense that ukiyo-e are more focused
on the artist's own perception.
**[11:45] ---**
But yours are more like an exact image.
**[11:48] ---**
I think that might make
them seem a little forced.
**[11:52] ---**
I still quite like these
works of yours, though.
**[11:57] ---**
One look and I can tell how much
you really love the art you do.
**[12:03] ---**
Model!
**[12:05] ---**
Will you model for me?
**[12:18] ---**
There you are! We're here!
**[12:20] ---**
We're here to assault the
base, stir up commotion,
**[12:23] ---**
and make it easier for Zara
to work from the inside.
**[12:28] ---**
Getting as close as we can
without being spotted is key.
**[12:31] ---**
This all rests on how well we can work
our way through this valley.
**[12:34] ---**
Roger!
**[12:54] ---**
C'mon!
**[12:57] ---**
Here goes!
**[13:30] ---**
We're under attack!
**[13:37] ---**
Whuzzat?!
**[13:38] ---**
We're under attack!
**[13:39] ---**
They're right on top of us!
**[13:41] ---**
Yahoo!
**[13:44] ---**
Kylie and Kate, you hit those tanks.
**[13:45] ---**
Chika and I will focus on the fighters.
**[13:47] ---**
Emma, you keep an eye to the skies for us.
**[13:48] ---**
If Zara doesn't show up in ten minutes, we all make
**[13:50] ---**
emergency landings and move in to rescue her.
**[13:52] ---**
And when we do, we abandon the Raiden.
**[13:54] ---**
Got it?
**[14:13] ---**
I've got the right side!
**[14:14] ---**
I'll take left.
**[14:24] ---**
Boss, it's the KOTOBUKI Corps!
**[14:26] ---**
Dangit! They must be after our paintings!
**[14:28] ---**
Isn't it the Raiden...?
**[14:28] ---**
It's time to send 'em home crying!
**[14:30] ---**
Suit up!
**[14:30] ---**
You know, this might just be our chance.
**[14:33] ---**
I'll handle the Raiden.
**[14:48] ---**
Yikes!
**[14:49] ---**
Doofus.
**[14:50] ---**
Shut up!
**[14:54] ---**
Here they come!
**[15:19] ---**
Are we under attack?
**[15:20] ---**
It seems that way.
**[15:24] ---**
There's no time to waste.
Hand over the key to the Raiden.
**[15:28] ---**
No...
**[15:29] ---**
The boss and his gang are all airborne now.
**[15:32] ---**
No one's gonna come help you anymore.
**[15:34] ---**
Now hand it over.
**[16:03] ---**
How dare you hurt my darling staff!
**[16:08] ---**
Where are you, Zara?
**[16:09] ---**
HR Chief, cover my rear!
**[16:13] ---**
Leave, I say, leave that to me.
**[16:22] ---**
Well, that won't do.
**[16:23] ---**
You little...!
**[16:25] ---**
My apologies, sir.
**[16:27] ---**
But due to personal circumstances,
**[16:29] ---**
I am resigning from my position at
this miserable company as of today.
**[16:33] ---**
What?! Do you think this is a joke?!
**[16:34] ---**
All of you, take down the HR Chief!
**[16:39] ---**
The HR and Sales divisions
are all on my side.
**[16:42] ---**
And after some careful discussion...
**[16:44] ---**
We decided we would take our share of Hayabusas,
Suiseis, and the Raiden as severance!
**[16:50] ---**
Our co-conspirators should be relieving
the young lady of her key right about now.
**[16:55] ---**
You've really gone and done it now!
**[17:16] ---**
Boss?!
**[17:17] ---**
Somebody cover the boss!
**[17:19] ---**
The HR Chief is a traitor!
**[17:20] ---**
The whole Sales team, too!
**[17:22] ---**
We've got trouble!
**[17:24] ---**
I'm headed back to the
ground, you cover for me!
**[17:26] ---**
Not if I have any say!
**[17:30] ---**
Was that friendly fire?!
**[17:31] ---**
They're friends no more.
**[17:32] ---**
The boss is about to get shot
down by our pals out there.
**[17:36] ---**
It's too late now.
**[17:38] ---**
Now hand it over!
**[17:40] ---**
Yeowch!
**[17:45] ---**
You...!
**[17:47] ---**
...are way too strong.
**[17:50] ---**
Who are you?
**[17:51] ---**
Zara from the KOTOBUKI Corps.
**[17:54] ---**
I'm here to take back the Raiden.
**[17:56] ---**
Sorry for hiding that from you.
**[17:57] ---**
I don't care about any of that!
**[18:00] ---**
Here's the key. Please go save him!
**[18:26] ---**
Zara!
**[18:27] ---**
Sorry I'm late. What's the situation?
**[18:29] ---**
It's a mess!
**[18:31] ---**
Whose side are we supposed to take?
**[18:33] ---**
Or are we just gonna shoot 'em all down?
**[18:35] ---**
I made a promise that we'd help out.
**[18:37] ---**
So...!
**[18:41] ---**
The Raiden?!
**[18:49] ---**
Well, there goes everything.
**[18:50] ---**
I'll get an earful for this, but so be it.
**[18:53] ---**
We failed to obtain the Raiden.
All craft, we're pulling out!
**[18:56] ---**
Like hell you are!
**[19:00] ---**
So we shoot down the Suiseis?
**[19:02] ---**
Yep, they've gone and stirred
up trouble with the boss.
**[19:05] ---**
Roger that!
**[19:10] ---**
Well, now. This won't do.
**[19:12] ---**
Stick to the course, we'll hold them off.
**[19:15] ---**
We'll meet at the rendezvous point!
**[19:25] ---**
Watch out for that rear gun!
**[19:26] ---**
I will!
**[20:31] ---**
We got what we came here for.
**[20:33] ---**
Let him go, Zara.
**[20:36] ---**
Sure.
**[20:38] ---**
Welcome back.
**[20:40] ---**
Glad I made it.
**[20:52] ---**
Sorry about all that.
**[20:54] ---**
You can have the Raiden back. I want you to.
**[20:56] ---**
Fine. Let's call it even here.
**[21:00] ---**
Let this be a lesson to ya to
start working an honest job!
**[21:05] ---**
I know, it's just...
**[21:07] ---**
We brought this along to return it,
but do you think it's okay if I keep it?
**[21:13] ---**
I'd love you to!
**[21:15] ---**
Now if only we got to get some of
that curry udon from the vending machine!
**[21:19] ---**
Agh! I almost forgot!
**[21:20] ---**
I'm sure it will all be in working order
the next time we're here.
**[21:23] ---**
I do hope so.
**[21:25] ---**
So do I! So do I!
**[21:26] ---**
Honestly though, I can't stand this sluggish,
cumbersome excuse for a plane!
**[21:30] ---**
You wanna ride in the back with me again?
**[21:32] ---**
No, I will certainly abstain from such!
**[21:34] ---**
By the time we get back to Rahama,
your Hayabusa should be good as new, Emma.
**[21:38] ---**
Just stick it out.
**[21:39] ---**
She's right. Plus, it's a
fine plane, that Raiden.
**[21:42] ---**
It's more equipped than the Hayabusa.
**[21:44] ---**
And faster!
**[21:45] ---**
I'll gladly trade.
**[21:47] ---**
No, thank you.
**[21:47] ---**
Gah!
**[21:51] ---**
We still all love our Hayabusas
best, right, girls?
**[21:53] ---**
'Course we do!
**[22:04] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[00:19] ---**
Flying through the mesh of clouds
**[00:22] ---**
Our dancing wings wrap up in the wind
**[00:26] ---**
Stars fall right before our eyes
**[00:35] ---**
The blue of all blues that drew us in
**[00:39] ---**
We kicked up off the blurring ground
**[00:42] ---**
Let me hear the sound of the sky you know
**[00:49] ---**
Take flight make gravity your ally
**[00:56] ---**
One more time, however many
times, laughing all along
**[01:03] ---**
We would never look back when we fly
**[01:10] ---**
An everlasting dream we
live in pursuit of tomorrow
**[01:15] ---**
Amid rising despair I locked away my love
**[01:18] ---**
I hate my weak self
**[01:21] ---**
Here and now passes by as
we head towards the future
**[01:32] ---**
Oh, great. Here I was ready for my chance to meet her,
but all I get is you, Saneatsu.
**[01:37] ---**
The Madame stayed behind in Rahama.
**[01:40] ---**
The place is just buzzing
with air pirates right now.
**[01:42] ---**
You want me to believe they
just fly right into town?
**[01:45] ---**
They really do lately, that's the thing!
**[01:47] ---**
The Splendid Areshima
**[01:48] ---**
I wish we could just do runs between
Rahama and Areshima forever!
**[01:51] ---**
Or even just move to Areshima for good!
**[01:52] ---**
It's quite an orderly, well regulated place.
**[01:55] ---**
It's beauty is in its righteousness.
**[01:57] ---**
Is it, now?
**[01:58] ---**
Tell me though, Chika.
**[01:59] ---**
Surely you don't plan on keeping
that in our quarters, yes?
**[02:02] ---**
Absolutely not.
**[02:03] ---**
If just because it is unreasonably bulky.
**[02:04] ---**
What? But it's so fluffy! Look at this fluff!
**[02:07] ---**
It's an anomalocaris.
**[02:08] ---**
In ancient times, it thrived
in the oceans, vast
**[02:11] ---**
expanses of water rich in
salt and other minerals.
**[02:14] ---**
Cool! Oceans, huh?
**[02:16] ---**
How could you not know that?
**[02:18] ---**
Well, oceans haven't existed
for a long time now, after all.
**[02:20] ---**
Chika's subconscious might have driven her
**[02:22] ---**
to seek something ocean related
without her realizing it.
**[02:25] ---**
Bingo! Kate, you sure know your stuff!
**[02:27] ---**
And just how much did that cost you?
**[02:29] ---**
498 pounds and 98 sen!
**[02:31] ---**
Wha...?!
**[02:32] ---**
Oh let her be.
**[02:33] ---**
We all use our earnings in different ways.
**[02:35] ---**
Be it to buy stuffed animals, to drown
in some good drink, or simply stuff our faces.
**[02:39] ---**
And speaking of that, where's Kylie?
**[02:43] ---**
Delish!
**[02:44] ---**
A flavor unlike the pancakes of
either Rahama or the Hagoromo!
**[02:47] ---**
Heya dimwit!
**[02:48] ---**
I'm certain I told you all of us needed to
**[02:50] ---**
submit flying
applications to the Areshima airway authorities.
**[02:54] ---**
We never used to have to.
**[02:56] ---**
That's so totalitarian.
**[02:57] ---**
Like it or not, the law is the law and you
**[02:59] ---**
cannot just go ignoring it
and doing whatever you want.
**[03:01] ---**
I had a feeling it wouldn't fly.
**[03:04] ---**
But once I saw the word
"pancakes" I just lost control!
**[03:07] ---**
I'm sure you know how it can be, right?
**[03:08] ---**
I do not.
**[03:09] ---**
You ever get so caught up in something that
you lose sight of everything else?
**[03:12] ---**
I do not.
**[03:13] ---**
Or just set off headstrong
down the wrong path?
**[03:14] ---**
No!
**[03:16] ---**
No...
**[03:18] ---**
Reona would never ever get caught
up in something and rush on
**[03:21] ---**
ahead without thinking, now would you?
**[03:23] ---**
Would you?!
**[03:23] ---**
No!
**[03:24] ---**
At any rate, you need to let someone know
before you go running off like that.
**[03:27] ---**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:28] ---**
What a lame excuse for a fighter pilot!
**[03:29] ---**
What's the deal with that hideous doll?
**[03:31] ---**
It's an anomalocaris!
**[03:32] ---**
The subconscious of all ocean life!
**[03:34] ---**
Sounds like gibberish.
**[03:35] ---**
Woosh! Smash!
**[03:37] ---**
One down!
**[03:37] ---**
What's your deal, you doofus?!
**[03:39] ---**
Hey! Stop it!
**[03:39] ---**
Get back here!
**[03:40] ---**
Stop!
**[03:42] ---**
Oh my, a passenger vehicle?
**[03:44] ---**
A modified Tudor Model AA.
**[03:45] ---**
To think we'd see a non-cargo automobile.
Areshima sure is full of surprises.
**[03:48] ---**
Oh my goodness!
**[03:50] ---**
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
**[03:51] ---**
How are you feeling?
**[03:52] ---**
Uhh...
**[03:53] ---**
Oh thank goodness you're okay.
**[03:54] ---**
I'm so relieved, and super sorry!
**[03:56] ---**
Think of this as an apology.
**[03:57] ---**
That's chump change!
**[03:58] ---**
But I'll take it!
**[03:59] ---**
Woah! How did you do that?!
**[04:01] ---**
A little giftey for you!
**[04:01] ---**
Sir, we must be going.
**[04:03] ---**
Yeah, yeah, just a minute.
**[04:05] ---**
From now on, make sure you look
right, left, down, and right again! Got it?
**[04:09] ---**
Okay!
**[04:09] ---**
Thank you! Wonderful! You have my gratitude!
**[04:11] ---**
And that anomalocaris! I'm a fan.
**[04:16] ---**
Don't run off like that!
**[04:17] ---**
Don't shout like that!
**[04:18] ---**
Quit causing such a ruckus!
**[04:19] ---**
Quit causing trouble for the rest of us!
**[04:21] ---**
Can't you just be quiet for a change-
**[04:26] ---**
Somebody! Do something about this bird!
**[04:27] ---**
That "bird" is Captain Dodo.
**[04:30] ---**
I don't care!
**[04:31] ---**
It's a message from First Officer Saneatsu.
**[04:34] ---**
"Head for the Ocean Sunfish Hotel ASAP."
**[04:37] ---**
My goodness, just where were you
Kotoboofy Fright Snore girls off wandering?
**[04:42] ---**
What can we do for you, Councilor Julia?
**[04:45] ---**
Take a seat.
**[04:46] ---**
You're making it look like
I'm just picking on you.
**[04:48] ---**
Two days from now I have
a god-awful sort of meeting here.
**[04:51] ---**
You can get the details
from my chief of security.
**[04:54] ---**
You'll be handling the air situation.
**[04:55] ---**
What sort of "meeting" might this be?
**[04:58] ---**
And who is it with?
**[04:59] ---**
I cannot simply promise our services
without knowing the details as to-
**[05:01] ---**
I will be meeting with the
head of View Trading, Isao.
**[05:04] ---**
A man dubbed likely to be
the next head of Ikesuka.
**[05:06] ---**
What?
**[05:07] ---**
"Isao?"
**[05:07] ---**
Never heard of him!
**[05:09] ---**
He has plans to deal with the air pirate
and energy problems.
**[05:12] ---**
Insisting on using the capital and connections of
major corporations,
**[05:16] ---**
making himself a hero to the public.
**[05:18] ---**
But I can't stand him.
**[05:20] ---**
He's trying to influence politics with
his idealist words and assumption of intrinsic good.
**[05:23] ---**
Traveling the world thanks to a seemingly lucky streak
and a massive fortune alone.
**[05:26] ---**
The most devious man you'll ever meet.
**[05:28] ---**
And I absolutely despise those
awful magic tricks of his.
**[05:31] ---**
I've about had it with this useless excuse of
a man poking his nose into political affairs.
**[05:36] ---**
And this "meeting" is the worst of it!
**[05:38] ---**
I wish I could tell him to shove it and be done,
**[05:40] ---**
but I'd never hear the end,
so I'm going through with it.
**[05:43] ---**
All he proposes about national unification,
mutual benefits, justice, safety, duty, and power--
**[05:49] ---**
It's all garbage!
**[05:50] ---**
And if he really does believe in all that,
then he's got crap for brains!
**[05:52] ---**
And now we live in the darkest
of timelines where even
**[05:54] ---**
people on the council have
begun yielding to him.
**[05:56] ---**
If I'm gonna sit through this meeting,
he's going to get a nice solid choking out of it!
**[06:00] ---**
Sounds rough...
**[06:02] ---**
Anyway that's why I need to prepare
in case these air pirates-
**[06:06] ---**
-if they are even air pirates at all...
**[06:09] ---**
Aren't apt to like this arrangement one bit.
**[06:11] ---**
I don't plan to get all friendly with Isao,
but I certainly don't need air pirates interfering.
**[06:15] ---**
Especially when they seem to get
their hands on whatever intel they want.
**[06:19] ---**
And if that means I need to protect
that good-for-nothing Isao, so be it.
**[06:22] ---**
Surely you could ask Areshima
security for assistance?
**[06:24] ---**
Of course I can, but I'd rather not be left
with a debt to any city in Ikesuka.
**[06:27] ---**
And so you want our help instead.
**[06:29] ---**
Are we finally on the same page?
**[06:30] ---**
Without the Madame present,
this decision rests with our First Officer.
**[06:34] ---**
Not like he's the brightest bulb...
**[06:36] ---**
I too am a bulb!
**[06:37] ---**
One that shines day and night,
only to light the way before you!
**[06:41] ---**
Hey! You're the flower guy!
**[06:43] ---**
What's this? Do I have a fan?
**[06:44] ---**
Really? Why? What do you like best?
**[06:46] ---**
My face? My voice? My charm? All of it?
**[06:48] ---**
How embarrassing! How wonderful!
**[06:50] ---**
I'm so happy I feel I could just burst!
**[06:52] ---**
Look at all that glitter!
**[06:53] ---**
You never cease to disgust me.
**[06:56] ---**
Do you ever run out of your
street corner tricks, Mr. Isao?
**[06:59] ---**
Lady Councilor, your meeting is with him...?
**[07:01] ---**
I'm quite shocked.
**[07:03] ---**
Oh, you're familiar?
**[07:04] ---**
That makes things easier, then.
**[07:06] ---**
Let me introduce you, Isao.
**[07:08] ---**
These are the girls of the KOTOBUKI Flight Corps
who will be handling security.
**[07:12] ---**
And their leader, Reona.
**[07:13] ---**
Well, well! Well met there, Miss Leader!
**[07:16] ---**
Here's a little giftey for ya!
**[07:17] ---**
What? Oh... Thank you.
**[07:20] ---**
Gotcha! Gotcha good!
**[07:21] ---**
Woops, sorry, did that hurt?
**[07:23] ---**
It shouldn't be that bad, what's wrong?
**[07:26] ---**
Yeowch!
**[07:27] ---**
Just kidding!
**[07:28] ---**
What's the plan?
**[07:30] ---**
The problem will be with how we coordinate
with the security units.
**[07:32] ---**
What?!
**[07:33] ---**
Reona, are you seriously
thinking of doing this?
**[07:34] ---**
No thanks!
**[07:35] ---**
I'm in! I wanna see some action this time!
**[07:37] ---**
We don't even know how many people
we'll be up against or where they're
**[07:39] ---**
coming from. Isn't this a tad rash?
**[07:41] ---**
I already have plans that day.
**[07:44] ---**
Plans I cannot change.
**[07:46] ---**
So that's one "yes" and two "no".
**[07:48] ---**
And counting me that's two
of us with some reservations.
**[07:51] ---**
No, we should take this.
**[07:53] ---**
We need it.
**[07:54] ---**
Why?
**[07:55] ---**
Defending Rahama cost us lots
in repairs and maintenance.
**[07:58] ---**
We need to make up for that.
**[08:00] ---**
Well...
**[08:01] ---**
Why?!
**[08:02] ---**
You never gave Chika trouble
when she went down!
**[08:04] ---**
I thought we were supposed
to be treated equal here!
**[08:06] ---**
I'm not blaming you.
**[08:07] ---**
I'm simply saying we should do this.
**[08:09] ---**
This is tyranny!
**[08:10] ---**
We're supposed to talk these things out!
**[08:13] ---**
Stupid Reona!
**[08:13] ---**
Leave my lil' Malo alone!
**[08:16] ---**
Stop it!
**[08:17] ---**
Change of schedule.
**[08:18] ---**
Tomorrow I will wake up at 0700.
**[08:20] ---**
I will spend fifteen minutes
on breakfast instead of thirty five.
**[08:23] ---**
And I will no longer spend an hour and
forty five minutes staring off into space.
**[08:27] ---**
What's the deal, Reona?
**[08:29] ---**
This isn't like you.
**[08:30] ---**
I almost forgot.
**[08:33] ---**
Here's the ten sen I borrowed today.
**[08:35] ---**
I don't like to stay in debt.
**[08:36] ---**
That's our tenacious Reona.
**[08:40] ---**
Maybe she's in love?
**[08:41] ---**
Love?!
**[08:42] ---**
She started acting strange as soon
as he came into the picture, right?
**[08:45] ---**
Woah... "Love"...
**[08:47] ---**
She should've just said something.
**[08:49] ---**
I cannot say it is a feeling I am familiar with,
but it is a necessity of species survival.
**[08:54] ---**
If it's true, I'd love to support her.
**[08:57] ---**
But it's tough to imagine someone like
Reona succumbing to such.
**[09:02] ---**
Why don't you simply ask?
**[09:03] ---**
You don't know or do you?
Or do you know, but don't want us to know? Which is it?
**[09:07] ---**
I'll go with answer one.
**[09:08] ---**
That means she doesn't know.
**[09:09] ---**
What?!
**[09:10] ---**
Oh, but I can tell you
something she sure hates.
**[09:13] ---**
What's that?
**[09:14] ---**
She hates being in debt.
**[09:15] ---**
I'm fairly certain everyone does.
**[09:16] ---**
Yeah, except maybe brainless
dolts like Chika!
**[09:19] ---**
Who you calling a dolt?
**[09:20] ---**
Debts are meant to be shirked!
**[09:22] ---**
An astonishing view on finance.
**[09:37] ---**
What's this?
**[09:38] ---**
What's our thunderbolt Kylie doing
with that sort of look on her face?
**[09:41] ---**
Are you okay?
**[09:43] ---**
Aren't you on the clock?
**[09:44] ---**
Can love drive one to despotism?
**[09:46] ---**
What?!
**[09:47] ---**
That's the girl from the Hagoromo...
**[09:49] ---**
Jeez, just what we don't need.
**[09:50] ---**
And she's not alone.
**[09:52] ---**
That's one, two, three...yikes!
You're kidding!
**[09:54] ---**
With everyone quitting or getting
shot down, we're the only
**[09:58] ---**
two left in the Nazarin, but look at them...
**[10:01] ---**
I'm not even sure we can
call ourselves a "squad" anymore.
**[10:04] ---**
Oh, hey...
**[10:06] ---**
Who are you again? What was it...
**[10:08] ---**
The Nazarin Air Squad!
**[10:09] ---**
Oh yeah! That's it!
**[10:11] ---**
You're looking good! That's great!
**[10:12] ---**
We're just here filling in...
**[10:14] ---**
Hey, so tell me.
**[10:16] ---**
Can love drive someone to despotism?
**[10:19] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[10:22] ---**
I see, I see.
**[10:23] ---**
So you want to put the priority on free will,
is it, Lady Julia?
**[10:27] ---**
I take it you've got your
own thoughts on the subject?
**[10:29] ---**
Well, is one really free with freedom?
**[10:32] ---**
It's hard to do anything when
you're free to do everything.
**[10:35] ---**
Plus we still have limits
and responsibilities.
**[10:37] ---**
You'd be surprised how many people can't keep up with
those.
**[10:41] ---**
In the end, people just go on about all
they want to do, and it gets out of hand.
**[10:45] ---**
To put it simply!
**[10:46] ---**
It's like going out for a barbecue, trying to grill everything
at once, and just ending up with burnt food!
**[10:50] ---**
And if we were to decide the order the food
was to be cooked, who would make those rules?
**[10:54] ---**
You'll find there are many who would like to use
the rules and power to their own advantage.
**[10:57] ---**
You tell 'em!
**[10:58] ---**
Down with all rules!
**[10:58] ---**
Kylie, you and the councilor
might actually get along.
**[11:00] ---**
Lady Julia, you need to have more faith!
**[11:01] ---**
Ew, no way!
**[11:03] ---**
I think, I believe, and I'm sure
the world is a better place!
**[11:07] ---**
And?
**[11:07] ---**
Huh?
**[11:09] ---**
My my! What might this be?
**[11:11] ---**
Perhaps someone here has made
some unfortunate enemies?
**[11:13] ---**
What?! Lady Julia, what have you done? Oh no!
**[11:16] ---**
Huh?
**[11:17] ---**
Wait, do you mean me?
**[11:18] ---**
Could it be?!
**[11:20] ---**
Six bogeys spotted incoming
from the northwest.
**[11:23] ---**
The Council Security Force and
**[11:24] ---**
the Areshima Private Air
Security Squad are moving out to intercept.
**[11:27] ---**
Wait. What should the Nazarin do?
**[11:30] ---**
Patrol to the southeast.
**[11:32] ---**
This is why I hate these government types.
**[11:35] ---**
Always clinging to each other.
**[11:37] ---**
There are only six targets.
**[11:39] ---**
They probably just didn't want to crowd up.
**[11:41] ---**
I bet they just want to score
more hits for themselves.
**[11:46] ---**
Adolfo, look to your two o'clock.
**[11:48] ---**
What? Is there some babe
or something out there?
**[11:51] ---**
Huh?
**[11:59] ---**
Areshima! The real fight is here!
**[12:07] ---**
So we fell right for the bait, then?
**[12:10] ---**
Mind if I share some more bad news?
**[12:12] ---**
What might it be?
**[12:13] ---**
This incoming group's got twenty 52s,
and probably two bombers.
**[12:18] ---**
How wonderful!
**[12:19] ---**
There are eight of us, including the Nazarin.
**[12:21] ---**
So while those government boys make their way back,
you think you can hold 'em off?
**[12:26] ---**
"Hold 'em off"?!
**[12:27] ---**
Sorry!
**[12:28] ---**
But...
**[12:28] ---**
We're gonna take 'em all down!
**[12:42] ---**
No matter how you go about this,
we're way outnumbered!
**[12:45] ---**
Once the KOTOBUKI squad gets here...
**[12:46] ---**
Then what? Look how many there are!
**[12:48] ---**
We can't go down here!
**[12:51] ---**
This is to rebuild the Nazarin Air Squad!
**[12:53] ---**
Yeah, but we gotta survive first!
**[13:02] ---**
Dammit!
**[13:04] ---**
Oh my! I never thought
we'd be facing off against air pirates!
**[13:07] ---**
Who are they even after?
**[13:09] ---**
It's got to be you, Lady Julia!
**[13:10] ---**
Someone as big and famous
as you, you've gotta be it!
**[13:13] ---**
I'm sure of it!
**[13:14] ---**
What kind of awful excuse
for flattery is that?
**[13:16] ---**
Or do you really just have dirt for brains?
**[13:17] ---**
Yup! Sure do!
**[13:21] ---**
Look at that glare!
**[13:22] ---**
That's scarier than any pirate out there!
**[13:23] ---**
I almost peed myself in fright!
**[13:24] ---**
How'd you hold up?
**[13:25] ---**
It was a close call.
**[13:27] ---**
How far off are the KOTOBUKI girls?
**[13:29] ---**
They should make contact in seven minutes.
**[13:34] ---**
I'm outta ammo!
**[13:35] ---**
I'm dry, too!
**[13:37] ---**
I'm taking off!
**[13:38] ---**
No point in dying out here!
**[13:45] ---**
This is not good.
**[13:50] ---**
KOTOBUKI?!
**[13:50] ---**
Is that her?!
**[13:57] ---**
Are you all right?
**[13:58] ---**
Looks like they tore
quite a hole through you.
**[14:00] ---**
Dammit!
**[14:01] ---**
You girls just wanted us to take a beating,
so you could come in
**[14:03] ---**
and sweep up after, didn't you?!
**[14:05] ---**
Precisely!
**[14:06] ---**
We can't carry you back to the airport, but do take
care!
**[14:09] ---**
Gimme a break!
**[14:10] ---**
Bye-bye!
**[14:11] ---**
Those 52s are faster than your Hayabusas.
**[14:13] ---**
And those bombers...
**[14:15] ---**
My guess is Type 4 Heavy Bombers.
**[14:17] ---**
They may be heavy bombers, but they're plenty
maneuverable.
**[14:19] ---**
Stay sharp.
**[14:20] ---**
Why thank you!
**[14:21] ---**
Kylie!
**[14:21] ---**
You're late.
**[14:22] ---**
Stay in position!
**[14:24] ---**
Sorry!
**[14:24] ---**
What? I coulda swore that was Little Miss Pancake
who flew in a second ago.
**[14:29] ---**
FUEL
**[14:29] ---**
An ally who breaks formation
is worse than any enemy.
**[14:33] ---**
The KOTOBUKI girls know that well enough.
**[14:39] ---**
What's their deal?
**[14:56] ---**
Damn!
**[15:37] ---**
What's your problem, Reona?
**[15:38] ---**
You're doing exactly what
you always tell me not to!
**[15:40] ---**
She is gunning plenty of them down, though...
**[15:43] ---**
Something's not right!
**[15:43] ---**
I mean, Reona's always the one
to fight all by-the-books!
**[15:48] ---**
That's because she's our leader.
**[15:50] ---**
This is how she really flies.
**[15:52] ---**
Once an enemy is in her sights,
she thinks of nothing but taking them down.
**[15:55] ---**
That's why she's called
the "Tenacious Reona".
**[15:57] ---**
It's been a long time
since I've seen this side.
**[15:59] ---**
Enemy coming in at six o'clock.
**[16:15] ---**
The Type 4 Heavy Bomber, AKA Hiryu.
**[16:17] ---**
Fitted with machine guns on its sides.
**[16:19] ---**
Analysis? Danger!
**[16:24] ---**
Kate!
**[16:31] ---**
Kate, fall back!
**[16:35] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[16:36] ---**
Go ahead and get yourself hurt, Reona,
but don't let Kate take your fall!
**[16:40] ---**
Kylie...
**[16:41] ---**
If you're gonna go crazy, at least say so!
**[16:43] ---**
We'll follow you!
**[16:47] ---**
Sorry, Kylie...
**[16:49] ---**
If you're gonna apologize
do it to everyone else!
**[16:50] ---**
Now then Reona, what's the plan?
**[16:53] ---**
Isao, sir. Lady Julia. We
must begin our evacuation.
**[16:57] ---**
Not happening.
**[16:57] ---**
And why, pray tell?
**[16:59] ---**
I'm not evacuating.
**[17:01] ---**
If I did, all I'd hear from all those assholes
once this is over is how I ran away.
**[17:05] ---**
Well, no thanks.
**[17:07] ---**
I'd have to agree. I'd hate
to be called a coward.
**[17:10] ---**
Then what shall we do?
**[17:12] ---**
Voilà!
**[17:14] ---**
What did I used to do, again?
**[17:16] ---**
You drove a car.
**[17:18] ---**
And you almost ran over
two stupid little girls.
**[17:21] ---**
That was just the other day.
**[17:22] ---**
I'm talking like long, long ago.
**[17:23] ---**
You used to be a magnificent flying ace.
**[17:25] ---**
Which just might mean...?
**[17:27] ---**
Might mean...?
**[17:28] ---**
Maybe I can head out there and fight?
**[17:31] ---**
Wh-what?
**[17:33] ---**
So be it.
**[17:35] ---**
Yay! That settles it!
**[17:36] ---**
The Soaring Magician is back in action!
**[17:38] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[17:40] ---**
Don't you worry!
**[17:41] ---**
It's like riding a bike, Lady Julia!
**[17:43] ---**
Listen to me when I speak to you!
**[17:44] ---**
What is a "bike", anyway?
**[17:46] ---**
I will tell you all about them later on.
**[17:48] ---**
Very well!
**[17:49] ---**
Let's go, then.
**[17:52] ---**
What? No way!
**[17:53] ---**
How is a doof like that a pilot?
**[17:56] ---**
But there's only one man with the name Isao
**[17:58] ---**
who went on from being a pilot
to run a massive corporation.
**[18:01] ---**
Does he have no recollection of you, Reona?
**[18:04] ---**
I don't know.
**[18:05] ---**
Well then there's really no need
to repay him then, is there?
**[18:08] ---**
Time to shirk!
**[18:09] ---**
Not gonna happen!
**[18:10] ---**
Reona hates being in debt, you see!
**[18:13] ---**
All right. Find me an opening!
**[18:15] ---**
I'll fly in there and aim for those Hiryu!
**[18:17] ---**
Roger!
**[18:18] ---**
Don't let them anywhere near Areshima!
**[18:35] ---**
Now!
**[19:06] ---**
You did it!
**[19:07] ---**
Not yet! There's still another bomber!
**[19:18] ---**
It's fast!
**[19:18] ---**
I'll get it!
**[19:20] ---**
It's all yours!
**[19:34] ---**
Gosh darn it!
**[19:36] ---**
Kylie! Chika! Don't push your luck!
**[19:38] ---**
If we don't Areshima's done for!
**[19:44] ---**
What's that?
**[19:45] ---**
More enemies?
**[19:46] ---**
No!
**[19:54] ---**
Man, nothing beats flying!
**[19:56] ---**
Indeed, sir.
**[20:00] ---**
He was known as the Soaring Magician.
**[20:03] ---**
An ace pilot from a squad in Ikesuka.
**[20:06] ---**
Back during the Rinouchi
Air War, he supposedly shot
**[20:10] ---**
down twelve fighters in a single skirmish.
**[20:12] ---**
Never heard of him!
**[20:13] ---**
I haven't seen him for eight whole years.
**[20:16] ---**
Reona, you were there at Rinouchi?
**[20:19] ---**
I was. And I got so worked up
that I flew right into danger.
**[20:22] ---**
And got myself shot down.
**[20:29] ---**
The only reason I made it out alive...
**[20:30] ---**
was thanks to him.
**[20:42] ---**
What is he doing?
**[20:43] ---**
He shoulda taken the shot!
**[20:49] ---**
Firing from above is what
anyone else would have done.
**[20:53] ---**
I know!
**[20:55] ---**
He's going at it from below!
**[21:02] ---**
Excellent, sir.
**[21:05] ---**
You truly are…
**[21:06] ---**
The Soaring Magician!
**[21:09] ---**
Shoot! I can't see!
**[21:10] ---**
It's because you get so carried away.
**[21:13] ---**
I swear I'll stop! Just help me!
**[22:04] ---**
I wanted to try and soar through that sky
**[22:08] ---**
So I wished upon the winds right before me
**[22:12] ---**
Our aspirations build us scenery
**[22:16] ---**
I wonder how that wind is now
**[22:25] ---**
Why do we fight, I wonder
**[22:29] ---**
What is our purpose here?
**[22:33] ---**
I asked, but the skies do not answer
**[22:42] ---**
We all have wings
**[22:49] ---**
Far away at the end of all lament
**[22:53] ---**
The stories we found
**[22:58] ---**
No one can steal these skies away
**[23:05] ---**
We will soar unafraid of anything
**[23:10] ---**
Because happiness is right here

Quit it!
**[01:47] ---**
You're a real pain in the butt, you know!
**[01:49] ---**
Well, I suppose we should have expected mister big
shot Isao to be the center of attention.
**[01:53] ---**
But we shot down one of those Hiryu!
**[01:55] ---**
I do say we deserve at least a bit
more recognition for our deeds than this.
**[02:00] ---**
Oh yes, I heard Reona was
really something out there.
**[02:03] ---**
Nah...
**[02:04] ---**
Sure would have loved to see that
again for a change, right Anna?
**[02:06] ---**
The old "Tenacious Reona".
**[02:08] ---**
Don't go imagining things. I
didn't do anything out there.
**[02:11] ---**
If anything I just got in the way...
**[02:12] ---**
Oh listen to you, captain!
**[02:13] ---**
Always so modest.
**[02:14] ---**
No, I honestly have a lot to reflect on,
**[02:16] ---**
both as captain, and as a
fighter pilot to begin with.
**[02:18] ---**
It's unthinkable how I could just get so swept away
that I would break formation like that.
**[02:21] ---**
I'm really sorry about it all.
**[02:23] ---**
I swear I will make up
for these blunders some-
**[02:24] ---**
Some might call that a debt in and of itself.
**[02:26] ---**
What good would it do you
to be indebted again?
**[02:28] ---**
Reona, you're the captain of this squad.
Let your team help you.
**[02:33] ---**
The Madame's right, you know.
**[02:35] ---**
We'd all love it if you did.
**[02:37] ---**
And quit getting all worked up
about owing anyone anything.
**[02:40] ---**
Can't we just work together,
no strings attached?
**[02:43] ---**
I'll... see what I can do.
**[02:45] ---**
You can start by lending me some cash!
**[02:46] ---**
I need to get Malo-chan a wife!
**[02:48] ---**
A "wife"?
**[02:49] ---**
Is that thing male?
**[02:50] ---**
Well duh!
**[02:51] ---**
So lend me some dough, no strings attached!
**[02:54] ---**
Not going to happen.
**[02:55] ---**
And here I was, thinking
the team might help me out!
**[02:57] ---**
I myself am quite against procuring
a spouse for that anomalocaris.
**[03:01] ---**
Whenever I make eye contact
with that doll late at night
**[03:03] ---**
I fear my heart might simply stop dead.
**[03:05] ---**
That's so mean!
**[03:06] ---**
I'm sure Kylie feels quite the same.
**[03:08] ---**
That's three to one, it is.
**[03:10] ---**
But Kylie...
**[03:12] ---**
...would probably say no, huh?
**[03:14] ---**
I wonder what that girl is up to right now.
**[03:16] ---**
I should have been the one to handle this.
**[03:18] ---**
When you're dealing with someone like Julia,
Kylie is much more suited to the job.
**[03:26] ---**
That numbskull! Look at
him all full of himself!
**[03:29] ---**
"Like riding a bike"?
**[03:31] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[03:33] ---**
Uhh...
**[03:34] ---**
And now these old geezers in Gadoll
**[03:35] ---**
who had never given Ikesuka the time
of day are suddenly flip-flopping.
**[03:39] ---**
If you can't beat them, join them, is it?
**[03:41] ---**
They're always ever so quick to pander.
**[03:43] ---**
Can you please pay us?
**[03:44] ---**
Pay you?
**[03:45] ---**
For defending Areshima.
**[03:47] ---**
It's all right there on
that invoice I gave you.
**[03:50] ---**
I was hoping Loulou would be here so I could
get her to cut some of these zeroes off...
**[03:53] ---**
Huh?
**[03:54] ---**
No, never you mind.
**[03:56] ---**
All of this?
**[03:57] ---**
I would never deny anyone the
chance to call me wicked,
**[04:00] ---**
but I won't have anyone
accuse me of being stingy.
**[04:03] ---**
Don't go dropping that, now.
**[04:05] ---**
I-I'd never!
**[04:06] ---**
Oh, hey, Miss Julia?
**[04:08] ---**
What is it?
**[04:09] ---**
What happens now?
**[04:11] ---**
Are we really going to be left grounded until
we submit papers and get granted permission?
**[04:15] ---**
And are they gonna be deciding who can and
can't fly and hand out licenses and stuff?
**[04:20] ---**
All because there are more
and more of these pricks
**[04:23] ---**
who just want to bend the
world to their whims.
**[04:25] ---**
You're either an idiot who joins them,
or a fool that doesn't.
**[04:28] ---**
Those are the only two choices.
**[05:53] ---**
You egging me on?
**[05:53] ---**
Having a laugh at me?
Looking for a fight?
**[05:56] ---**
Well I'm down for it!
**[05:57] ---**
I sure hope you weren't
thinking you could lose me!
**[06:04] ---**
First Officer, we are hitting altitudes
well above our observed altitude.
**[06:08] ---**
We're looking at explosive cyclogenesis.
**[06:09] ---**
It might be best to situate
the Hagoromo elsewhere.
**[06:12] ---**
What? That sounds like a huge pain.
**[06:15] ---**
You sure we can't just ignore it all?
**[06:18] ---**
Okay, I'll do it! I swear!
**[06:20] ---**
We're in for it. A real big one.
**[06:23] ---**
Batten down the hatch!
**[06:24] ---**
Lock those fighters in place!
**[06:25] ---**
If any of them get so much
as a scratch I'm gonna
**[06:27] ---**
tie you up like a windsock up atop this ship!
**[06:28] ---**
Roger!
By all means!
**[06:38] ---**
Don't think I forgot about
the time you shot me down!
**[06:46] ---**
Or how you came out of
nowhere back in Porokka!
**[06:52] ---**
Or when you came in with all those air pirates
on the way back from Shouto!
**[07:01] ---**
Quit running and fight me!
**[07:29] ---**
They didn't shoot? Why?
**[07:31] ---**
Why you little...!
**[07:32] ---**
Don't even think I'm worth your time, huh?!
**[07:34] ---**
I'll show you!
**[07:57] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[09:03] ---**
Chika, can you quit fidgeting like that?
**[09:06] ---**
I'm not fidgeting, okay?
**[09:08] ---**
I can hardly even concentrate
on my calculations here.
**[09:10] ---**
Emma, that shouldn't be 21 pounds and 45 sen,
but 23 pounds and 55 sen.
**[09:16] ---**
Well, thank you for pointing that out.
**[09:17] ---**
I hate these low-pressure areas.
**[09:20] ---**
It makes my head feel all woozy.
**[09:22] ---**
I think you've just drank too much.
**[09:24] ---**
I know the difference between being drunk
and the feel of low-pressure.
**[09:27] ---**
Do you really, now?
**[09:27] ---**
When is she gonna get back?
**[09:29] ---**
She won't be returning.
**[09:30] ---**
What?!
**[09:31] ---**
We can assume she has fled for safety from
**[09:34] ---**
the storm much like the Hagoromo has.
**[09:36] ---**
True, yeah.
**[09:40] ---**
You don't think...
**[09:41] ---**
Stop.
**[09:42] ---**
Not one more word, Zara.
**[09:44] ---**
Never mind, then.
**[09:45] ---**
Never mind what?
**[09:46] ---**
Kylie's coming back, right?
**[09:51] ---**
One thing I know for sure...
**[09:53] ---**
Chika's worried about Kylie.
**[09:56] ---**
Oh.
**[09:57] ---**
Understood.
**[09:58] ---**
Nuh-uh! It's the money! I'm
worried about the money!
**[10:01] ---**
Hey! Are you dead?
**[10:04] ---**
I... was shot down.
**[10:08] ---**
The money...
**[10:09] ---**
...is still there.
**[10:24] ---**
The whole top half of my
engine is blown to bits.
**[10:28] ---**
Fuel tank is still in tact.
**[10:29] ---**
Natsuo did say it was leak
resistant now that I think of it.
**[10:32] ---**
The radio's out, and for some reason
my landing gear is deployed.
**[10:35] ---**
Did I do that?
**[10:37] ---**
When did I pull that off?
**[10:38] ---**
Was it just muscle memory?
**[10:40] ---**
Did my subconscious do it all for me?
**[11:00] ---**
No doubt about it, this is Ofukouyama.
**[11:03] ---**
In Yufang, they have ships out at sea
instead of in the skies, right?
**[11:07] ---**
Ofukouyama is supposed to be the same size
as one of their ship's runways.
**[11:12] ---**
So all the new pilot recruits
go there to practice.
**[11:17] ---**
And they came up with all sorts of ways to make
shorter landings and stuff.
**[11:21] ---**
But no matter what nothing worked out,
and it was nothing but a disaster.
**[11:26] ---**
The name Ofukouyama even means disaster!
**[11:27] ---**
Isn't that right, Ol' Sab?
**[11:31] ---**
Rahama is exactly 260 kilometers
away flying straight.
**[11:34] ---**
And there's not a single
airfield or town in between.
**[11:37] ---**
Forever and ever ago,
there used to be something here, though.
**[11:42] ---**
That stinking So-un Ravine
is what's really in my way.
**[11:44] ---**
I can't even get off Ofukouyama.
**[11:46] ---**
Even if I did I'd just wind up in the ravine.
**[11:48] ---**
So I've gotta do something
about my engine, here.
**[11:56] ---**
Shot down yet again...
**[11:57] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[12:00] ---**
Are you dead?
**[12:02] ---**
No, I'm quite alive.
**[12:04] ---**
Aww, shucks. I thought I'd get
to see my first real corpse.
**[12:08] ---**
You've never seen one?
**[12:10] ---**
Nope. Not a nice fresh dead one.
**[12:11] ---**
Well, sorry to disappoint.
**[12:13] ---**
Can you grab me that bag?
**[12:20] ---**
Shouldn't you be getting back?
**[12:22] ---**
Back where?
**[12:23] ---**
Home. Everyone must be worried.
**[12:25] ---**
It's fine. Someone's probably
eating my dinner anyway.
**[12:28] ---**
We always fight over our food.
**[12:30] ---**
Aren't you afraid?
**[12:32] ---**
Of what?
**[12:33] ---**
Of me.
**[12:34] ---**
I know who you are!
**[12:35] ---**
And how you live on the
outskirts of Shioyama.
**[12:37] ---**
How you come around to
buy gasoline from Sunami.
**[12:40] ---**
And how everyone calls you "Ol' Sab"!
**[12:43] ---**
Yeah, that's all well and true.
**[12:45] ---**
If I were to add anything
else it'd be that I'm a
**[12:48] ---**
reclusive, murderous, hot-tempered fugitive.
**[12:50] ---**
What...?
**[12:51] ---**
Now, run along home.
**[12:53] ---**
What'd you do, Ol' Sab?
You're a real fugitive?!
**[12:56] ---**
Listen, kid...
**[12:57] ---**
I'm not "kid", I'm Kylie!
**[13:10] ---**
Dangit...
**[13:12] ---**
Does it hurt?
**[13:14] ---**
Want some water?
**[13:16] ---**
Quiet, you.
**[13:17] ---**
But...
**[13:17] ---**
Enough! Get lost!
**[13:22] ---**
Yoshi's field got hit again.
**[13:26] ---**
Again? You're kidding!
**[13:27] ---**
If you ask me, I say it's that
Shioyama fella who's up to no good.
**[13:30] ---**
Ol' Sab?
**[13:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:32] ---**
I should have known.
**[13:33] ---**
What do you expect from a guy abandoned
by the rest of Yufang?
**[13:36] ---**
Ol' Sab is from Yufang?
**[13:39] ---**
That's no concern for children like you!
**[13:41] ---**
Go on, get outta here.
**[13:46] ---**
Oh, you're still alive.
**[13:51] ---**
Kid...
**[13:52] ---**
Locomotives
**[13:52] ---**
I'm not "kid", I'm Kylie!
**[13:54] ---**
Ol' Sab, are you from Yufang?
**[13:57] ---**
And what if I am?
**[13:59] ---**
You Yufang people came to
Ijitsu from that hole, right?
**[14:02] ---**
Flying in on your planes?
**[14:04] ---**
Then you built tons of factories,
and made lots of airplanes.
**[14:08] ---**
Yeah...
**[14:09] ---**
But one day you all just
left back through that hole.
**[14:12] ---**
Leaving your factories, your airplanes,
and everything here in Ijitsu.
**[14:17] ---**
And then the hole disappeared.
**[14:20] ---**
Why didn't you go back home?
**[14:22] ---**
Did you oversleep?
**[14:24] ---**
Who knows?
**[14:25] ---**
Maybe you had a tummy-ache?
**[14:26] ---**
Maybe.
**[14:31] ---**
I'm back!
**[14:34] ---**
Look what I found!
**[14:35] ---**
This is Yufang-ese, right?
**[14:37] ---**
What does it say?
**[14:38] ---**
Beats me.
**[14:38] ---**
Tell me!
**[14:54] ---**
S-so you see, I was just
trying to grab a book, see?
**[14:56] ---**
And the whole thing just came crumbling down!
**[15:00] ---**
Are you really not afraid of me?
**[15:03] ---**
Nope! You're fun!
**[15:05] ---**
"Fun"?
**[15:06] ---**
You got all sorts of who knows what here,
and you know lots about stuff!
**[15:13] ---**
So you're just real fun!
**[15:14] ---**
Where were you before you came to Rahama?
**[15:16] ---**
Are there really mountains
taller than Shioyama?
**[15:19] ---**
Have you ever seen the sea or even a lake?
**[15:20] ---**
Can you eat fish?
**[15:22] ---**
Have you eaten any?
**[15:22] ---**
Are they yummy?
**[15:23] ---**
Are you really from Yufang?
**[15:25] ---**
Why does that matter to you?
**[15:27] ---**
Hm? "Why?"
**[15:29] ---**
Well, I just wanna know what I don't know!
**[15:32] ---**
I've never seen any of
that sort of stuff before.
**[15:34] ---**
So I wanna know about it. I wanna see it!
**[15:37] ---**
Okay, so you really wanna know, then?
**[15:38] ---**
Yup, about everything!
**[15:42] ---**
Fill 'er up, if you ya could.
**[15:44] ---**
What's he planning to do
with all this gasoline?
**[15:47] ---**
Afraid I'm gonna go starting fires?
**[15:48] ---**
No, I didn't mean...
**[15:49] ---**
Right away, then.
**[16:30] ---**
What's the matter, you scared?
**[16:33] ---**
It's so incredible! It's really
something, hey Ol' Sab?
**[16:35] ---**
This is what Ijitsu looks like, huh!
**[16:39] ---**
Yup.
**[16:42] ---**
But this isn't everything.
**[16:54] ---**
What the heck kind of landing did you pull?
**[16:57] ---**
How do you go and lose just your engine?
**[17:03] ---**
Got it! There's my plug!
**[17:05] ---**
Now I just need a plug cord-
**[17:07] ---**
Natsuo always went on and on about
how wiring was an art, huh.
**[17:11] ---**
Not that I followed one bit.
**[17:13] ---**
Reona gave me this scarf, didn't she?
**[17:16] ---**
Sorry I gotta do this, but thanks, Reona!
**[17:26] ---**
Hup!
**[17:37] ---**
Ol' Sa-!
**[17:38] ---**
I would like your assistance.
**[17:40] ---**
Yeah, and what would I get for it?
**[17:42] ---**
Anything you desire.
**[17:44] ---**
I don't need a damn thing.
**[17:46] ---**
I've got no plans to start any
new research and development now.
**[17:48] ---**
That's a no, then?
**[17:50] ---**
Did you not hear me?
**[17:51] ---**
You've never thought about going back?
**[17:56] ---**
I'll be around again.
**[18:01] ---**
What a cute little girl.
**[18:03] ---**
Your daughter?
**[18:04] ---**
Never seen her.
**[18:05] ---**
Yes, he has! I'm Kylie!
**[18:07] ---**
Quiet!
**[18:08] ---**
Go on home.
**[18:11] ---**
And never come back here again.
**[18:26] ---**
Ol' Sab!
**[18:30] ---**
That's not fair!
**[18:31] ---**
Don't leave without me!
**[18:33] ---**
I still haven't seen anything yet!
**[18:36] ---**
Ordinarily the route would pass
between Gadoll and Rahama.
**[18:38] ---**
12 hours after her scheduled arrival time,
we began our search in this area.
**[18:43] ---**
It has now been 44 hours.
**[18:46] ---**
I got in touch with Julia, but
she says Kylie left just fine.
**[18:50] ---**
Though she implied that perhaps
she ran off with all the money.
**[18:53] ---**
Kylie of all people?
**[18:55] ---**
Not a chance.
**[18:56] ---**
She's never really been in it for the money.
**[18:58] ---**
She'd never-ever!
**[18:59] ---**
I'm sure she's still
toughing it out somewhere!
**[19:02] ---**
Of course, she is.
**[19:04] ---**
Well let's put together a
more thorough search, then.
**[19:09] ---**
It's roughly six AM.
**[19:11] ---**
Skies are clear.
**[19:13] ---**
Wind is blowing in at two
khrill from the south east.
**[19:15] ---**
Perfect flying weather.
**[19:19] ---**
Like it or not, do or die,
I only got one shot at this!
**[19:34] ---**
All right!
**[20:25] ---**
Hold it steady.
**[20:25] ---**
You can only pull on that yoke
once you hit 50 kilo-khrill.
**[20:34] ---**
C'mon!
**[20:49] ---**
You don't fly a plane, they fly on their own.
**[20:54] ---**
All a pilot needs to do is follow its lead.
**[21:01] ---**
I'm gonna go see all the
stuff I haven't seen yet.
**[21:04] ---**
Bye-bye, Ol' Sab.
**[21:15] ---**
Huh?
**[21:16] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[21:20] ---**
Kylie!
**[21:36] ---**
Jeez, where the heck were you?
**[21:39] ---**
I'm astounded.
**[21:40] ---**
Is our payment safe?
**[21:42] ---**
Uh-oh, looks like someone's got a boo-boo.
**[21:45] ---**
I'll be waiting for your debriefing!
**[21:51] ---**
It's good to be home.

**[00:15] ---**
No two ways about it.
**[00:16] ---**
This is the place.
**[00:17] ---**
Here's point zero.
**[00:19] ---**
This is where the Yufang sprung up from.
**[00:22] ---**
And where they disappeared to once again.
**[00:24] ---**
It's been a whole 70 years now.
**[00:26] ---**
But there's got to be some sort
of clue somewhere around here.
**[00:49] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[00:56] ---**
Flying through the mesh of clouds
**[00:59] ---**
Our dancing wings wrap up in the wind
**[01:03] ---**
Stars fall right before our eyes
**[01:12] ---**
The blue of all blues that drew us in
**[01:16] ---**
We kicked up off the blurring ground
**[01:19] ---**
Let me hear the sound of the sky you know
**[01:26] ---**
Take flight make gravity your ally
**[01:33] ---**
One more time, however many
times, laughing all along
**[01:40] ---**
We would never look back when we fly
**[01:47] ---**
An everlasting dream we
live in pursuit of tomorrow
**[01:52] ---**
Amid rising despair I locked away my love
**[01:55] ---**
I hate my weak self
**[01:58] ---**
Here and now passes by as
we head towards the future
**[02:16] ---**
Blood for a Nazarin Pound
**[02:17] ---**
Is it just me or does Kate look
like she's lagging behind?
**[02:19] ---**
She sure does.
**[02:27] ---**
Whatcha gonna do now?
**[02:39] ---**
There it is! That Kate special!
**[02:41] ---**
It's hard to keep your wits
about you when she pulls that.
**[02:45] ---**
Yeah, well, she can only pull that off 'cause that
carburetor can still pump
**[02:47] ---**
through the negative g-force.
**[02:49] ---**
You stinkin' little...!
**[02:51] ---**
And bam, you're dead! Kylie down!
**[02:53] ---**
Shut up, you twerp!
**[02:54] ---**
Dead as dead can be!
**[02:56] ---**
Natsuo, Kate's the one loaded
up with cheap fuel, right?
**[02:59] ---**
Yep. There was a great
ol' sale the other day.
**[03:02] ---**
But lemme tell you, I don't care how cheap it is,
if it don't burn it ain't worth piss.
**[03:06] ---**
So I thought we best put
it to the test first.
**[03:09] ---**
How cheap is cheap?
**[03:12] ---**
About half the price of what we always use.
**[03:14] ---**
What a fine deal!
**[03:16] ---**
You sure that's really even gasoline?
**[03:17] ---**
That's easy enough to tell
when you get your hands on it.
**[03:20] ---**
What is it you're testing, then?
**[03:22] ---**
The octane rating.
**[03:23] ---**
That's the cutest name I ever heard!
**[03:25] ---**
Awk Tane! Ock Tain!
**[03:26] ---**
What's "ock-tane?"
**[03:28] ---**
The higher the octane rating,
the lower the likelihood of autoignition.
**[03:33] ---**
Which is why high power engines
require high octane gasoline.
**[03:38] ---**
Can you determine as much just by flying?
**[03:40] ---**
You can tell as soon as you take off,
but there's no knowing until you do.
**[03:44] ---**
Kylie.
**[03:44] ---**
How was it?
**[03:45] ---**
I hate fighting Kate.
**[03:48] ---**
I'd say I did pretty good
out there today, though!
**[03:50] ---**
How 'bout you, Kate?
**[03:51] ---**
I noticed multiple cases of knocking.
**[03:52] ---**
I estimate at least a three
percent drop in performance.
**[03:55] ---**
Was there an issue with maintenance?
**[03:56] ---**
I'm sure glad I had you handle this for me.
**[03:59] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[04:00] ---**
Kate was flying up there with
a tank full of cheap gas.
**[04:03] ---**
What?! I didn't know that!
**[04:05] ---**
Because I didn't tell you.
**[04:06] ---**
But now we know why it was so cheap.
**[04:09] ---**
Maybe we'd best just drop it all together.
**[04:12] ---**
Who on earth was even selling it that cheap?
**[04:14] ---**
The Standon Oil Company, out in Ikesuka.
**[04:16] ---**
They're one of the biggest companies around.
**[04:17] ---**
Where do you usually buy from?
**[04:19] ---**
From out in Nanko.
**[04:20] ---**
So you mean, Kate wasn't flying with
the same horsepower she usually has?
**[04:24] ---**
So you didn't do "pretty
good out there" today,
**[04:26] ---**
it was just that Kate was being held back!
**[04:28] ---**
Gah! And here I was all excited that
I finally managed to pull away from her!
**[04:33] ---**
You're easy to read.
**[04:34] ---**
You wanna mess? Try saying that again.
**[04:36] ---**
You pilot with perfect spatial awareness.
It's a beautiful sight.
**[04:40] ---**
Now you've got me feeling all conflicted...
**[04:42] ---**
It's that well-mannered sort of flying
that gets you shot down!
**[04:45] ---**
Chika, you'd actually do well to learn
to pilot a bit more carefully like she does.
**[04:49] ---**
What?!
**[04:50] ---**
She's right, you know.
**[04:51] ---**
Kylie probably flies the
best out of all of us.
**[04:54] ---**
I'm sure it's all just instinct for her,
but she could easily be a flight instructor.
**[04:59] ---**
It's one of the great mysteries of our squad!
**[05:01] ---**
You think so?
**[05:03] ---**
There's no element of surprise to her.
**[05:05] ---**
Nor a hint of self-control.
**[05:06] ---**
Or a drop of composure.
**[05:08] ---**
And by that they mean,
deal with those issues and you'll be unstoppable.
**[05:13] ---**
I get the whole self-control and composure bit,
but "element of surprise?"
**[05:16] ---**
What the heck does that even mean?
**[05:18] ---**
Reona.
**[05:20] ---**
Requesting permission of leave for tomorrow.
**[05:22] ---**
Tomorrow?
**[05:23] ---**
Yes.
**[05:24] ---**
Of course, you can go!
**[05:31] ---**
Where does Kate always go off to?
**[05:33] ---**
To go visit her brother in
the hospital, apparently.
**[05:35] ---**
She never came to visit me!
**[05:37] ---**
And neither did I.
**[05:39] ---**
Reona and Zara did, though!
**[05:42] ---**
Did they now? Great. Lucky you.
**[05:43] ---**
But like, does she really
have to go visit so often?
**[05:46] ---**
I guess so.
**[05:47] ---**
Is this part of that whole "species survival" thing
she was talking about?
**[05:50] ---**
Are you serious?
**[05:51] ---**
Reality is stranger than
fiction, or so they say.
**[05:53] ---**
Have you ever even read
a work of fiction, Chika?
**[05:55] ---**
I love books! My favorite is "See the Sea"!
**[05:58] ---**
It's the first book my brother
Chito ever read to me.
**[06:00] ---**
Just the thought of that is ridiculous!
**[06:02] ---**
Oh, shut up!
**[06:03] ---**
When we lived down below, we had so many books,
and I read lots of them!
**[06:07] ---**
"See the Sea" all takes place under water.
**[06:09] ---**
There's not even a single scene on land.
But you knew that, right?
**[06:12] ---**
What?!
**[06:14] ---**
'Course, I did.
**[06:17] ---**
Mmm! This is splendid!
**[06:19] ---**
That rich taste and perfect sweetness.
**[06:21] ---**
This is distilled liquor, isn't it?
**[06:23] ---**
The aged sort that the Yufang
brought in, I'd wager.
**[06:26] ---**
I'm surprised you even
got your hands on this.
**[06:28] ---**
I bought it off an antiques
dealer in Areshima.
**[06:29] ---**
For a fine price, I'm sure.
**[06:31] ---**
With no record of where
it came from and no desire
**[06:33] ---**
to crack it open, it was
simply taking up space.
**[06:37] ---**
It was quite inexpensive.
**[06:38] ---**
Well, I suppose when the
bottle looks like that...
**[06:41] ---**
What are they doing?
**[06:42] ---**
It definitely doesn't look like
any sort of "species survival".
**[06:44] ---**
I brought this as well.
**[06:45] ---**
You really found it.
**[06:47] ---**
Out in Areshima?
**[06:49] ---**
Is your research coming along?
**[06:51] ---**
Mhmm, but I still need more sources.
**[06:55] ---**
This would all be much easier
if I could still walk on my own.
**[06:59] ---**
Do you want to travel to Yufang, Allen?
**[07:01] ---**
Of course, I'd like to see it for myself.
**[07:03] ---**
But more than, that I want to
know why they showed up here
**[07:08] ---**
and then just vanished.
**[07:10] ---**
Let me make one thing clear...
**[07:12] ---**
I'm not researching them simply because
I have a taste for Yufang alcohol!
**[07:17] ---**
I know.
**[07:20] ---**
It looks like I was right to
leave you in Reona's hands.
**[07:22] ---**
You smile a lot more than you used to.
**[07:25] ---**
How's the KOTOBUKI Corps?
**[07:27] ---**
Having fun?
**[07:29] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[07:30] ---**
Have you ever seen Kate smile before?
**[07:32] ---**
Nope. And I've never seen her get mad
or cry or anything either.
**[07:36] ---**
I'll come by again.
**[07:37] ---**
Say hi to Reona for me.
**[07:39] ---**
Tell her she should bring a nice bottle,
and come by and visit sometime.
**[07:44] ---**
I guess he sorta looks like Kate...
**[07:46] ---**
But he's so talkative, and he drinks, too.
**[07:48] ---**
I do, yes.
**[07:50] ---**
Are you two in the KOTOBUKI Corps, too?
**[07:52] ---**
Uhh, well...
**[07:53] ---**
Y-yes.
**[07:54] ---**
You probably have to look after Kate plenty.
**[07:56] ---**
How is she? Does she get along with everyone?
**[07:59] ---**
I mean, she's a total weirdo
sometimes, but yeah.
**[08:02] ---**
Hey, hey, how did you know we were out here?
**[08:05] ---**
Guess it's just my old
pilot senses kicking in.
**[08:08] ---**
Always need to stay aware
of your surroundings, right?
**[08:12] ---**
I'm pretty sure Kate realized
you were out here, too.
**[08:15] ---**
What...?
**[08:16] ---**
Yes. I did.
**[08:20] ---**
Allen told me he met Reona
back when he was a pilot.
**[08:24] ---**
Yeah? What did he used to fly?
**[08:26] ---**
When is he gonna get better?
**[08:28] ---**
It's most likely he never will.
**[08:36] ---**
Huh? Kate?
**[08:39] ---**
Kate, what are you always reading about?
**[08:42] ---**
Mathematics, chemistry, thermodynamics,
fluid mechanics...
**[08:46] ---**
And as of late, electromagnetism.
**[08:48] ---**
What about stories?
**[08:48] ---**
Or novels or something?
**[08:50] ---**
Fiction is pointless.
**[08:52] ---**
The author is free to
write whatever they wish.
**[08:55] ---**
There is nothing to gain from such.
**[08:57] ---**
You don't even find them fun?
**[08:59] ---**
"Fun?"
**[09:00] ---**
Stories are like food for the soul!
**[09:02] ---**
That's what my brother Chito used to say!
**[09:04] ---**
I'll lend you "See the Sea" sometime, 'kay?
**[09:06] ---**
It's a real treat!
**[09:16] ---**
What a dreary, awful smelling place.
**[09:19] ---**
I'm sick of these sort of joints.
**[09:21] ---**
But that's where its charm lies, is it not?
**[09:24] ---**
Huh?
**[09:26] ---**
That's a Standon Oil plane.
**[09:28] ---**
What are big shot capitalists like them
doing way the hell out here?
**[09:33] ---**
Any leads, pops?
**[09:35] ---**
'Course I don't got any leads!
**[09:37] ---**
What were you even thinking trying
to round up people out here?
**[09:41] ---**
No one showed up, then?
**[09:43] ---**
The towns likely to dry up faster
than their oil at this rate.
**[09:45] ---**
You watch your mouth!
That oil's all that's keeping us afloat!
**[09:49] ---**
That one tiny little oil well?
**[09:51] ---**
It's good enough!
**[09:53] ---**
We've even got those Standon boys
coming out trying to buy it up!
**[09:57] ---**
So that's what they're doing way out here.
**[09:58] ---**
Well, you guys strike up a deal yet?
**[10:01] ---**
Like hell we did!
**[10:02] ---**
They showed up here ready
to buy us straight out!
**[10:05] ---**
Sounds like good news to me.
**[10:06] ---**
You try working under those guys, then!
**[10:09] ---**
They'll just push us for bigger numbers
until we drive ourselves under.
**[10:11] ---**
I tell you, it's not about quantity anymore,
it's about quality!
**[10:14] ---**
Is it, now?
**[10:15] ---**
I'm working up a new type of gasoline.
**[10:18] ---**
Showin' those youngins what for!
**[10:21] ---**
Not that anyone out here's
really young anymore!
**[10:25] ---**
Sounds like you're still the boss
of things 'round here, pops.
**[10:28] ---**
You keep at it.
**[10:29] ---**
Oh, you bet your butts I will!
**[10:31] ---**
I'll be pumping those junk piles you fly
with 100 octane gas, you'll see!
**[10:41] ---**
It might be high time
for me to close up shop.
**[10:44] ---**
What would you even do without your Shiden?
**[10:46] ---**
Live a life of love. It's
all about love, my friend.
**[10:49] ---**
You're the last one I wanna hear that from.
**[10:50] ---**
No, I mean it.
**[10:51] ---**
I'll head out someplace with lots of people,
find me a nice gal.
**[10:54] ---**
There's no such life for me.
**[10:57] ---**
My hands are dyed red with blood.
**[11:01] ---**
You're not gonna try and repent?
**[11:03] ---**
Even if the father above were to absolve me,
I could never forgive myself.
**[11:07] ---**
See, that's the part of you
I think you need to work on.
**[11:11] ---**
I wish I could.
**[11:14] ---**
What was that?! What's going on?!
**[11:18] ---**
What the heck is all this?!
**[11:20] ---**
Pops, this is bad. You
need to get outta here!
**[11:23] ---**
The hell, I will!
**[11:24] ---**
You think I'm gonna let a little
fire like this scare me off?
**[11:26] ---**
Utsumi! Yamada! Go call for help!
**[11:29] ---**
I'm gonna need more than
these old farts here!
**[11:31] ---**
On it!
**[11:33] ---**
We're done for if this baby blows.
**[11:37] ---**
Shouldn't you be worried
more about an evacuation?
**[11:39] ---**
And just let the little town burn?
**[11:42] ---**
We should take this.
**[11:44] ---**
Now Kate, mind explaining to me why?
**[11:47] ---**
If we were to lose our access to Nanko's gas,
**[11:49] ---**
we'd be forced to deal with other oil fields.
**[11:52] ---**
Ones further away and far more expensive.
**[11:53] ---**
That will leave us with no choice but
to purchase from
**[11:56] ---**
affordable places like Standon.
**[11:58] ---**
But Standon's gas is poor in quality.
**[12:00] ---**
And they are likely to monopolize the industry
and spike up their prices.
**[12:04] ---**
Plus, without access to a source
as geographically close as Nanko,
**[12:08] ---**
we may risk being blockaded entirely.
**[12:10] ---**
Worst case scenario, we remain
grounded indefinitely.
**[12:14] ---**
Nanko doesn't have cash,
**[12:16] ---**
but they're offering to pay with
one years worth of gasoline.
**[12:18] ---**
Well, that will hardly do.
**[12:19] ---**
That's the Madame for you. Heartless.
**[12:21] ---**
They'll need to offer us
reduced rates indefinitely.
**[12:25] ---**
And guarantee we'll have
access to the fuel we need.
**[12:27] ---**
Or else our hands our tied.
**[12:31] ---**
So be it. You have a deal.
**[12:32] ---**
But we need you to stomp
out every last flame.
**[12:35] ---**
But, of course.
**[12:36] ---**
Now, how many hands on the
ground do we need for this?
**[12:39] ---**
We don't need any.
**[12:41] ---**
How are you going to put the fire out?
**[12:42] ---**
With an explosive.
**[12:43] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[12:50] ---**
Why do I have to fly the bomber?
**[12:52] ---**
What else are you going to fly?
**[12:54] ---**
Your plane got shot down, remember?
**[12:57] ---**
You're best suited for this.
**[12:59] ---**
You can make the best of any aircraft.
**[13:02] ---**
We're just barely within flying range.
We'll need to stick to the shortest route.
**[13:05] ---**
Did we really even need to come
out in numbers like these?
**[13:08] ---**
Don't we just need to drop this bomb?
**[13:09] ---**
Madame's orders. Says somethings
just not right about all this.
**[13:12] ---**
Told us to be careful.
**[13:14] ---**
Pops...
**[13:19] ---**
Gosh, darn it! This heat's a scorcher!
**[13:23] ---**
There it is!
**[13:24] ---**
I let 'em know we'll be bombing the fire out.
**[13:27] ---**
Told 'em to get to safety.
**[13:29] ---**
The whole place is up in flames, huh...
**[13:31] ---**
Hmm?
**[13:36] ---**
The Madame's never wrong, is she?
**[13:38] ---**
Looks like company's coming out to greet us.
**[13:39] ---**
What are they flying?
**[13:41] ---**
Shokis, maybe?
**[13:42] ---**
It might be the same group
that hit the airfield.
**[13:44] ---**
If they're flying Type
2s, we can handle them.
**[13:50] ---**
Stay alert!
**[13:57] ---**
Those aren't Type 2s, they're Type 4s!
**[14:00] ---**
They're flying Hayates?
**[14:01] ---**
What kinda air pirates have Hayates?!
**[14:02] ---**
They're built basically
the same as the Type 2s.
**[14:04] ---**
Just with more power and better turning!
**[14:09] ---**
Why do stinking air pirates
get to fly such fast planes?
**[14:11] ---**
That's not fair!
**[14:12] ---**
Are these really even pirates?
**[14:13] ---**
Oh, come on, why do we have to deal with
this sort of stuff on today of all days?
**[14:17] ---**
I can't even fight back!
**[14:19] ---**
Leave 'em to me!
**[14:20] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[14:25] ---**
Gah, come on!
**[14:37] ---**
Bwah! Kate, we're gonna dodge 'em!
**[14:39] ---**
Roger.
**[14:54] ---**
I can't shoot if they get below us.
**[14:56] ---**
Gah, I wish we could make a roll!
**[14:57] ---**
Absolutely not.
**[14:59] ---**
They're so fast!
**[15:01] ---**
Chika, I'll act as bait!
**[15:02] ---**
Roger that!
**[15:17] ---**
Got-
**[15:18] ---**
-none?!
**[15:19] ---**
The Type 4 has is heavily armored.
**[15:21] ---**
Aim for its weak points!
**[15:22] ---**
What weak points?!
**[15:23] ---**
The tail!
**[15:32] ---**
C'mon!
**[15:34] ---**
Dangit!
**[15:35] ---**
Above you!
**[15:37] ---**
Dammit!
**[15:39] ---**
Adolfo!
**[15:40] ---**
Damn, these guys are pros!
**[15:49] ---**
Chika?!
**[15:49] ---**
Now you're mine!
**[15:59] ---**
Gotcha!
**[16:03] ---**
Gah! You're a stubborn one, aren't ya!
**[16:05] ---**
Chika! On your tail!
**[16:06] ---**
Grrr!
**[16:11] ---**
They're mine now.
**[16:12] ---**
Emma, above you!
**[16:13] ---**
What is it with these horrid pests?!
**[16:16] ---**
Were in a bad spot up against these guys.
**[16:18] ---**
They aren't playing around.
**[16:21] ---**
Oh my!
**[16:23] ---**
Zara!
**[16:31] ---**
Zara, do you copy?!
**[16:34] ---**
Well, this is just wonderful...
**[16:44] ---**
Pops...
**[16:46] ---**
Ah, dangit!
**[16:47] ---**
If I gotta die, I wish it was at least
together with some nice lass.
**[16:54] ---**
Kylie, if things look bad, drop that bomb
and make an emergency landing!
**[16:57] ---**
No way! We're putting out those fires!
**[16:59] ---**
Kylie, approach our target from our eight o'clock.
Then veer off at two o'clock.
**[17:03] ---**
Okay!
**[17:11] ---**
Kylie, 30 degrees to your right.
**[17:12] ---**
Got it!
**[17:20] ---**
Pull up to two thousand.
**[17:21] ---**
Here we go!
**[17:26] ---**
Kylie, roll us one eighty degrees.
**[17:28] ---**
What? R-right?
**[17:32] ---**
Perfect.
**[17:43] ---**
Damn!
**[17:44] ---**
They're toast at this rate!
**[17:45] ---**
Adolfo, there's something I wanted
to apologize to you for.
**[17:49] ---**
That Yufang liquor you had hidden away?
I'm the one who drank it.
**[17:53] ---**
I hope you can forgive me.
**[17:54] ---**
Hey, where's this coming
from, all of a sudden?
**[17:56] ---**
Wait!
**[18:15] ---**
Fernando! I forgive you!
I forgive you, okay?!
**[18:17] ---**
Just don't go doing anything stupid!
**[18:30] ---**
Fernando!
**[18:34] ---**
Damn you... You and your
battlefield confessional!
**[18:37] ---**
I take that back, I don't forgive you!
**[18:46] ---**
Kate, what are you doing?!
**[18:47] ---**
Lighting the fuse.
**[18:48] ---**
This is an IED, after all.
**[18:50] ---**
I've already calculated the timing.
**[18:51] ---**
Kylie, drop the load when
we're 200 meters out.
**[18:53] ---**
You sure we can't drop it a little earlier?
**[18:55] ---**
Absolutely not.
**[18:55] ---**
I can feel my butt puckering already!
**[18:59] ---**
800 meters.
**[19:03] ---**
600 meters.
**[19:05] ---**
Ready...
**[19:07] ---**
Go.
**[19:08] ---**
Hiyah!
**[19:19] ---**
Kylie, good work.
**[19:23] ---**
Fires extinguished.
**[19:29] ---**
Now's a convenient time to take off...
**[19:31] ---**
Who were those guys?
**[19:34] ---**
Looks like the winds of fortune
fell upon us after all!
**[19:43] ---**
I'm telling ya, this place still reeks.
**[19:47] ---**
And that's what it feels like to be alive!
**[19:49] ---**
Nothing but a cold beer tastes
quite like life itself!
**[19:53] ---**
Yes...
**[19:54] ---**
I sure didn't feel alive out there today.
**[19:57] ---**
I don't wanna fly anything
but a fighter plane again.
**[20:00] ---**
I didn't even score a single tag today!
**[20:02] ---**
At least you aren't down one like me.
**[20:03] ---**
Our mission was just to put out that fire.
**[20:06] ---**
No need to go keeping score.
**[20:08] ---**
And we pulled it off!
**[20:10] ---**
That's one more win for us!
**[20:11] ---**
Who the heck were those guys, anyway?
**[20:13] ---**
Were they trying to dispose
of the oil field in Nanko?
**[20:16] ---**
If this was the first time
they ever showed up, that might explain it.
**[20:18] ---**
But there's been so much more.
**[20:20] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:21] ---**
Nanko seems like it'll dry up sooner or
later on its own, anyway.
**[20:24] ---**
All we can say is, they
sure aren't air pirates.
**[20:26] ---**
We're dealing with a well-led organization.
**[20:28] ---**
Led to do the absolute worst of deeds, is it?
**[20:31] ---**
That's what seems off about it all.
**[20:33] ---**
It says here, "The sea is whispering..."
**[20:35] ---**
But the sea is not a living being.
**[20:37] ---**
It doesn't mean it literally
was, it's just a metaphor!
**[20:40] ---**
Stories like these don't just
explain everything like that.
**[20:42] ---**
You're supposed to build the world
for yourself as you read it!
**[20:46] ---**
Build it...?
**[20:47] ---**
That's what my brother Chito always said!
**[20:48] ---**
Is that "See the Sea?"
**[20:50] ---**
Wasn't there some drunkard
just like Allen in that story?
**[20:53] ---**
A person who loved his drink so much he tried
to keep all the liquor to himself.
**[20:56] ---**
Well, more of a crab than a person.
**[20:58] ---**
All to himself...?
**[20:59] ---**
Down under the sea there were
these springs of alcohol, see?
**[21:02] ---**
And this one crab who lived by one just
wanted to drink even more and more.
**[21:07] ---**
Oh my, sounds like the
drink is what drunk him!
**[21:10] ---**
And so he thought up a plan.
**[21:13] ---**
If he plugged up all the other springs,
he figured more would shoot up from his.
**[21:19] ---**
Speaking of things that seem off...
**[21:21] ---**
Well, in the end, he just ends up running his
own spring dry, and no longer gets to drink.
**[21:27] ---**
I bet those black Hayates just wanna keep
all the liquor to themselves, too!
**[21:30] ---**
You think they're traveling the
world, plugging up wherever
**[21:32] ---**
it comes from so they can control it all?
**[21:34] ---**
That'd be some grand sort of plan.
**[21:36] ---**
Hey, I think Kate's smiling!
**[21:38] ---**
No way!
**[21:41] ---**
Uh, yeah.
**[21:43] ---**
I'm totally not seeing it.
**[21:45] ---**
It's just as I reported.
**[21:47] ---**
Those KOTOBUKI girls hit us once again.
**[21:51] ---**
Very well.
**[21:53] ---**
As you wish.
**[22:04] ---**
I wanted to try and soar through that sky
**[22:08] ---**
So I wished upon the winds right before me
**[22:12] ---**
Our aspirations build us scenery
**[22:16] ---**
I wonder how that wind is now
**[22:25] ---**
Why do we fight, I wonder
**[22:29] ---**
What is our purpose here?
**[22:33] ---**
I asked, but the skies do not answer
**[22:42] ---**
We all have wings
**[22:49] ---**
Far away at the end of all lament
**[22:53] ---**
The stories we found
**[22:58] ---**
No one can steal these skies away
**[23:05] ---**
We will soar unafraid of anything
**[23:10] ---**
Because happiness is right here

**[00:12] ---**
Kylie!
**[00:14] ---**
This little guys got a bit of a fever.
**[00:15] ---**
Is he one of the kids from your place?
**[00:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:17] ---**
What brings you here?
**[00:18] ---**
Just a regular checkup.
**[00:20] ---**
I put mine off for so long
that the Madame flipped!
**[00:24] ---**
That's cause in our line of work
**[00:25] ---**
we risk running into serious
accidents if we aren't at our best.
**[00:28] ---**
These checkups help keep
us in peak condition.
**[00:31] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[00:33] ---**
You crash if you get sick?
**[00:35] ---**
Are you gonna die, Reona?
**[00:36] ---**
Miyuri, don't you worry about me.
**[00:40] ---**
Soya?
**[00:41] ---**
Here!
**[00:42] ---**
C'mon, Soya.
**[00:42] ---**
I don't wanna get a shot!
**[00:44] ---**
Hey!
**[00:44] ---**
Miyuri, you wait here.
**[00:45] ---**
I'll watch her for you.
**[00:47] ---**
Thanks!
**[00:48] ---**
Hey there. I'm Kylie.
**[00:50] ---**
I work with Reona.
**[00:52] ---**
Your job isn't dangerous or anything, is it?
**[00:57] ---**
Well, it's definitely not safe.
**[01:00] ---**
Oh, I knew it!
**[01:02] ---**
Why does Reona keep flying
if she might get hurt?
**[01:04] ---**
I think she flies for your sake.
**[01:06] ---**
For me?
**[01:08] ---**
Everyone's got something they fly to protect.
**[01:12] ---**
That's why we don't let
ourselves get shot down!
**[01:14] ---**
Because we wanna get back
and see the people we love.
**[01:16] ---**
Really...?
**[01:17] ---**
Do you have something you fly for, too?
**[01:20] ---**
'Course I do!
**[01:21] ---**
What is it?
**[01:22] ---**
Well, you see!
**[01:23] ---**
I...
**[01:26] ---**
Huh?

**[03:06] ---**
So this is a fish?
**[03:07] ---**
I'd never seen one before myself.
**[03:07] ---**
The Great Airship Robbery
**[03:10] ---**
There was nothing like it in See the Sea!
**[03:11] ---**
It was exactly like the
encyclopedias described.
**[03:13] ---**
It's still pretty weird, huh?
**[03:15] ---**
Are you feeling constipated?
**[03:16] ---**
She's just not too happy
with today's mission, huh?
**[03:20] ---**
You said the pay was incredible, though!
**[03:23] ---**
That's because that fish is worth a fortune.
**[03:26] ---**
And because we took a job that should
**[03:28] ---**
be handled by multiple teams all on our own.
**[03:30] ---**
"As the new mayor of Ikesuka, Isao moves to
**[03:33] ---**
celebrate the foundation of the
Brotherhood of Freedom Union.
**[03:36] ---**
He has purchased a rare fish,
and plans to put it on display for the public."
**[03:40] ---**
"He has tasked the Ouni Company's
KOTOBUKI Corps, heroes of the
**[03:43] ---**
Nanko oil field, with its transportation."
**[03:46] ---**
Goodness me...
**[03:47] ---**
Did you go take a look at the fish, Johnny?
**[03:49] ---**
Nope.
**[03:50] ---**
What?! Why? It's really cool, you know!
**[03:52] ---**
It would only bring back memories...
**[03:53] ---**
Of poor Miki...
**[03:55] ---**
Here we go again.
**[03:56] ---**
Who's Miki?
**[03:57] ---**
He splurged to get a fish to
serve at his wedding, see.
**[04:02] ---**
What?!
**[04:02] ---**
So you're married?
**[04:03] ---**
You've eaten fish before?!
**[04:04] ---**
How was it?!
**[04:06] ---**
I was so nervous I couldn't taste a thing!
**[04:08] ---**
What a waste!
**[04:10] ---**
Who is this Miki?
**[04:11] ---**
The woman in that portrait
there. She was Johnny's wife.
**[04:14] ---**
"Was?"
**[04:16] ---**
Yes, and she is still always
with us, here in my heart.
**[04:23] ---**
Okay, okay. Enough of that.
**[04:25] ---**
I think everyone's due for a refill.
**[04:26] ---**
Right. Care for another round?
**[04:28] ---**
No, I'm gonna get back in position.
**[04:30] ---**
Are you, now...
**[04:31] ---**
Slapping us on the front page like that
is basically asking for trouble, you see.
**[04:35] ---**
I wish we didn't always have to fight.
**[04:38] ---**
Don't you fret! I'll keep you safe!
**[04:40] ---**
Yeah, you just leave things to us.
**[04:42] ---**
I feel better already.
**[04:45] ---**
Still, you wanna change our flight path again
and take the long way around?
**[04:48] ---**
Do we really need to go this far?
**[04:51] ---**
We wouldn't be doing it if we didn't have to.
**[04:53] ---**
Especially not considering
how much it will cost.
**[04:57] ---**
What's with all these noises?
**[04:58] ---**
Just been having a bit of
a stomach ache all day.
**[05:01] ---**
Why did you take on a job like this, anyway?
**[05:04] ---**
We're transporters.
**[05:06] ---**
Did you expect me to stand
in front of the press and say
**[05:09] ---**
"No" after someone asked
if we can handle this?
**[05:11] ---**
Sure, but did you have to turn down
all those escorts, too?
**[05:15] ---**
That would just be playing into Isao's hand.
**[05:17] ---**
If we accepted his help,
they'd take all the credit once we pulled it off.
**[05:22] ---**
Guess that makes sense.
**[05:24] ---**
That grumbling is infuriating.
**[05:26] ---**
Feel free to relieve yourself.
**[05:27] ---**
With pleasure! Can you act as
first officer while I'm gone?
**[05:31] ---**
Yes, yes.
**[05:35] ---**
Multiple bogeys spotted on our eleven.
**[05:37] ---**
First Officer!
**[05:38] ---**
He's still holed up in the restroom.
**[05:39] ---**
Are you sure these aren't just aircraft
that are cutting across our path?
**[05:41] ---**
They're moving straight at
us, so that is unlikely.
**[05:45] ---**
How did they pick up on our trail?
**[05:46] ---**
With the First Officer still away,
we await your orders now, Madame.
**[05:50] ---**
All pilots prepare for battle!
**[05:52] ---**
What?!
**[05:57] ---**
We're up against huge numbers.
**[05:58] ---**
They sure didn't keep us waiting!
**[06:00] ---**
You're not getting anywhere near our fishy!
**[06:02] ---**
Here they come! Look at all of 'em!
**[06:04] ---**
We're looking at what, fifteen or so?
**[06:06] ---**
That's two and a half targets for each of us.
**[06:08] ---**
We can handle this!
**[06:10] ---**
Fly high, KOTOBUKI Corps!
**[06:13] ---**
Yes ma’am!
**[06:45] ---**
Oh no, you don't!
**[06:46] ---**
Watch my tail, Emma!
**[06:48] ---**
On it already!
**[06:56] ---**
Kylie, I'll draw them in.
**[06:58] ---**
You get behind them!
**[06:59] ---**
Roger!
**[07:04] ---**
Gah! You're too clever for your own good!
**[07:10] ---**
No one likes a man that can't take a hint!
**[07:16] ---**
I don't like air pirates that
can take a hint, either.
**[07:19] ---**
We have a reading on possible bogeys
pulling in fast from the rear.
**[07:23] ---**
Incoming report from the rear watch.
**[07:25] ---**
Confirmed sight of enemy craft approaching.
**[07:27] ---**
It appears they hugged the ground
and flew in under our radar.
**[07:34] ---**
KOTOBUKI Corps, fall back immediately!
**[07:36] ---**
New targets closing in!
**[07:38] ---**
Wait, was this just a decoy?!
**[07:40] ---**
But there are so many of them!
**[07:41] ---**
That's impossible.
**[07:41] ---**
I've never seen decoys as serious as this!
**[07:43] ---**
Usually you'd expect them
to let up somewhere...
**[07:46] ---**
Fall back!
**[07:46] ---**
Reona, behind you!
**[07:48] ---**
What's with these guys?!
**[07:50] ---**
Do they still wanna die even though the
jig is up? How dumb are they?!
**[07:52] ---**
Stay alert! These are no ordinary pirates!
**[07:55] ---**
We need to take them out
before they get us first!
**[08:18] ---**
And just who do you think
is going to fix that?!
**[08:21] ---**
Come on out and fight me!
**[08:35] ---**
This is Kylie, Hagoromo, come in!
**[08:39] ---**
This is bad, no one's radioing in!
**[08:41] ---**
Look! The hatch!
**[08:43] ---**
Don't tell me...!
**[08:44] ---**
We've been boarded.
**[08:45] ---**
We took too long dealing with the others.
**[08:47] ---**
Hagoromo! Cindy! Betti! Addie! Come in!
**[08:56] ---**
Oh please, no! I hate guns!
**[09:01] ---**
Attention KOTOBUKI Corps.
**[09:03] ---**
We have taken control of your airship.
**[09:07] ---**
Call off your attack immediately
and leave this area.
**[09:11] ---**
This is corps leader, Reona.
**[09:12] ---**
What are you after?
**[09:14] ---**
What else? The fish.
**[09:17] ---**
Your time as a mercenary squad ends today.
**[09:20] ---**
Now scram.
**[09:23] ---**
Fall back...
**[09:24] ---**
You can't be...!
**[09:24] ---**
Reona!
**[09:25] ---**
You're just gonna run?!
**[09:26] ---**
Do as she says.
**[09:42] ---**
Now it's your turn.
**[09:43] ---**
Excuse yourselves from the bridge.
**[09:45] ---**
Do what he says.
**[10:06] ---**
What a mess!
**[10:08] ---**
This is a message to the mayor of Ikesuka.
**[10:10] ---**
We have taken control of the
Rahama airship Hagoromo
**[10:13] ---**
and are en route to Ikesuka now.
**[10:16] ---**
We demand the following from mayor Isao
and the city of Ikesuka.
**[10:21] ---**
First, that Isao resigns as mayor.
**[10:24] ---**
Second, that the Brotherhood of Freedom Union
be abolished immediately.
**[10:27] ---**
If you refuse to accept
either of these conditions,
**[10:29] ---**
we will crash the Hagoromo into Ikesuka.
**[10:32] ---**
Setting off a massive explosion.
**[10:35] ---**
Here you are.
**[10:39] ---**
I don't drink anymore.
**[10:40] ---**
"Anymore?" Well why-
**[10:42] ---**
Quiet.
**[10:43] ---**
Terribly sorry!
**[10:45] ---**
Still, you robbers here seem
almost like military men.
**[10:50] ---**
No! I mean that as a compliment!
**[10:52] ---**
Who's paying you?
**[10:55] ---**
We don't work for anyone!
**[10:57] ---**
We're air pirates.
**[10:58] ---**
Fine, then.
**[11:00] ---**
I don't care who you are, anyway.
**[11:02] ---**
But you will pay for what
you've done to my crew.
**[11:08] ---**
They've really gone and made her mad, now.
**[11:11] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[11:13] ---**
It seems they haven't changed course.
**[11:16] ---**
We should have eyes on them shortly.
**[11:19] ---**
There they are.
**[11:26] ---**
Chika, you're losing altitude.
**[11:28] ---**
Just wanted to see how low I could go!
**[11:30] ---**
Must be nice to be so carefree.
**[11:31] ---**
Me, I have to deal with
all this heavy baggage.
**[11:35] ---**
That was only in jest.
**[11:37] ---**
Just sit tight back there, you two.
**[11:40] ---**
Oh shut up, Emma.
**[11:41] ---**
Sorry for roping you into this.
**[11:44] ---**
Nah, I volunteered!
**[11:46] ---**
You had me surprised, honestly.
**[11:48] ---**
Why?
**[11:49] ---**
I didn't figure you had any
interest in anything but flying.
**[11:52] ---**
That's not true! I-
**[11:54] ---**
You...?
**[11:58] ---**
Say... Do you do all this for
the kids like Miyuri and all them?
**[12:04] ---**
I need money if I want to keep
that orphanage running, after all.
**[12:08] ---**
Yeah...
**[12:09] ---**
What's with you all of a sudden, though?
**[12:12] ---**
Nothing...
**[12:14] ---**
This is the First Officer of the Hagoromo!
**[12:17] ---**
First Officer?!
**[12:19] ---**
This is the KOTOBUKI Corps!
**[12:21] ---**
Is that you, First Officer Saneatsu?
**[12:22] ---**
Oh, you're still there! What a relief!
**[12:24] ---**
Not really though, we're in a pinch!
**[12:26] ---**
They just came outta nowhere-
**[12:27] ---**
Right, but what's the situation now?
**[12:29] ---**
I can only tell you what I've seen myself.
**[12:31] ---**
But the enemy is fully armed.
**[12:33] ---**
And there's gotta be at
least 12 of them on board.
**[12:36] ---**
Probably more than that.
**[12:37] ---**
They've landed three Toryu
and one Hayate on board.
**[12:40] ---**
Wow, I never thought our FO
would do anything useful!
**[12:42] ---**
Every dog has its day!
**[12:45] ---**
Target spotted on our five o'clock.
**[12:49] ---**
Here they come!
**[12:51] ---**
We need to make sure we keep
them good and occupied.
**[12:54] ---**
It's time for some fancy flying!
**[12:59] ---**
I've got eyes.
**[13:00] ---**
And we're still in line?
**[13:02] ---**
Indeed.
**[13:02] ---**
We should be right in
the radar blind spot Addie told me of.
**[13:44] ---**
I'm off!
**[13:45] ---**
Be careful.
**[13:58] ---**
Hup!
**[13:59] ---**
Can you skirt around to the bridge?
**[14:01] ---**
I'm on it!
**[14:04] ---**
Everything's in place.
Report to the commander.
**[14:06] ---**
Roger!
**[14:08] ---**
Are those...?
**[14:08] ---**
Explosives.
**[14:09] ---**
What are we gonna do? Can you defuse those?
**[14:11] ---**
Not a chance.
**[14:12] ---**
Let's find Johnny.
**[14:13] ---**
Why? You need a drink?
**[14:15] ---**
No...
**[14:18] ---**
There he is.
**[14:20] ---**
You stay hidden here.
**[14:21] ---**
What?
**[14:30] ---**
Oh my! I'm so sorry.
**[14:36] ---**
Johnny!
**[14:43] ---**
Whoa...
**[14:44] ---**
Nice one, Ririko.
**[14:45] ---**
It was nothing.
**[14:47] ---**
You too, Johnny.
**[14:48] ---**
With aim like that even rubber bullets
can take 'em down, eh?
**[14:51] ---**
I can't believe I shot someone!
**[14:53] ---**
What else do you keep that
thing back there, for?
**[14:56] ---**
It's just a lucky charm!
**[14:57] ---**
With aim like that it's no wonder you used
to be known as the fastest shot around.
**[15:01] ---**
Johnny the Uncatchable!
**[15:02] ---**
Don't call me that!
**[15:04] ---**
I promised Miki I'd never take up arms again!
**[15:07] ---**
I'll apologize to Miki for you myself.
**[15:10] ---**
You can talk to the dead?!
**[15:12] ---**
Madame, are you a spirit medium?!
**[15:12] ---**
Promise?
Madame, are you a spirit medium?!
**[15:13] ---**
I promise.
**[15:14] ---**
So I need you to help us out here.
**[15:17] ---**
I do hope you mean it.
**[15:23] ---**
These are the very same pilots
we were up against in Nanko, aren't they?
**[15:26] ---**
Why are they back?
**[15:27] ---**
Just by coincidence?
**[15:28] ---**
I doubt that.
**[15:30] ---**
Either way, just be careful.
**[15:32] ---**
One thing we do know is that they're tough.
**[15:34] ---**
In a sad turn of events, the
Hagoromo has been hijacked.
**[15:37] ---**
And we can confirm that
they are indeed headed for Ikesuka now.
**[15:39] ---**
Are we going to be okay?
**[15:40] ---**
Definitely not!
**[15:42] ---**
But turning misfortunes
like these upside down
**[15:45] ---**
is what we of the Brotherhood are here for!
**[15:47] ---**
We have been preparing for
just this sort of event!
**[15:50] ---**
To all you reporters who claimed we wasted away
your tax money... Prepare your apologies!
**[15:54] ---**
To all my beloved Hagoromo crew.
**[15:59] ---**
My apologies for the current situation.
**[16:01] ---**
But the time to sit patient is now over.
**[16:04] ---**
Here it comes, what's the code word?
**[16:06] ---**
The captain takes flight at daybreak.
**[16:09] ---**
All right!
**[16:10] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[16:14] ---**
Spin those inertia handles!
**[16:15] ---**
Roger that!
With pleasure!
**[16:26] ---**
Freeze!
**[16:27] ---**
Yes! As you wish!
**[17:01] ---**
I shot them...
**[17:12] ---**
Nice one, Loulou!
**[17:17] ---**
Don't you run!
**[17:18] ---**
I'm gonna tear you down and
beat you back into shape!
**[17:21] ---**
Leave them to us!
**[17:21] ---**
It's no good! They've cut off
access to the gas reserves!
**[17:25] ---**
We'll do what we must to fulfill our mission.
**[17:28] ---**
If that means we have to go down too-
**[17:30] ---**
It's time you accept defeat.
**[17:31] ---**
And it looks like we do!
**[17:36] ---**
Get off me!
**[17:49] ---**
What kind of brute uses
real bullets on an airship?
**[17:52] ---**
Is there any way we can land this thing?
**[17:54] ---**
None whatsoever.
**[17:55] ---**
The backup system is out, too.
**[17:57] ---**
Betti, what's our estimated location?
**[17:59] ---**
We are likely 30 kilometers south of Ikesuka.
**[18:02] ---**
Johnny, have you dealt with those explosives?
**[18:03] ---**
Unfortunately, this isn't looking easy.
**[18:06] ---**
My apologies!
**[18:07] ---**
How long will it take?
**[18:08] ---**
Roughly...
**[18:10] ---**
An hour?
**[18:11] ---**
Can't we turn off the engines manually?
**[18:13] ---**
The doors to all the engine rooms
**[18:14] ---**
have been destroyed,
and it will take time to get through them!
**[18:17] ---**
So we're on a non-stop, out
of control flight to Ikesuka
**[18:20] ---**
with a load of bombs on board?
**[18:24] ---**
Kylie!
**[18:25] ---**
On it!
**[18:31] ---**
Huh?
**[18:37] ---**
They're going to run away again?
**[18:39] ---**
How infuriating!
**[18:40] ---**
Yeah, but I'm almost out
of fuel and ammo too.
**[18:42] ---**
I'm just glad we made it through all that!
**[18:44] ---**
We may not have.
**[18:45] ---**
What the heck is that?
**[18:46] ---**
My guess would be the Ikesuka Air Force.
**[18:48] ---**
Or Isao's own air fleet, in other words.
**[18:51] ---**
This is the Hagoromo.
**[18:52] ---**
Incoming Ikesuka aircraft, do you copy?
**[18:57] ---**
So, why aren't they responding?
**[18:59] ---**
My guess is that the moment
we enter Ikesuka airspace
**[19:02] ---**
they are going to shoot us
down, no questions asked.
**[19:04] ---**
You can't be serious...
**[19:05] ---**
We're an out of control ship
stocked with explosives.
**[19:07] ---**
That's all the justification they need.
**[19:10] ---**
Reona, this is Loulou.
**[19:11] ---**
Reona, here.
**[19:12] ---**
This is an order.
**[19:14] ---**
Shoot down the Hagoromo.
**[19:16] ---**
Now, I don't want you tearing it apart
and sending it falling.
**[19:19] ---**
So what I need you to do is
make sure we lose just enough
**[19:22] ---**
helium to make an emergency landing.
**[19:23] ---**
But that's ridiculous!
**[19:25] ---**
Plus, you're packed with explosives, right?
**[19:27] ---**
Have you handled those, yet?
**[19:29] ---**
No.
**[19:30] ---**
But then...!
**[19:31] ---**
I need you to pull this off.
**[19:33] ---**
Roger that, Madame!
**[19:37] ---**
Get outta here!
**[20:04] ---**
All right. Just one more!
**[20:05] ---**
Make this one count!
**[20:06] ---**
Got it!
**[20:18] ---**
We did it!
**[20:48] ---**
So Johnny was a real pro mercenary?
**[20:50] ---**
And an excellent one, too.
**[20:53] ---**
Then one day he fell in love with a woman named Miki
and decided to leave that life behind.
**[21:00] ---**
But Miki's still alive, right?
**[21:02] ---**
Why aren't they together?
**[21:03] ---**
Well you see...
**[21:05] ---**
He put the trade behind him,
but he couldn't get rid of his guns.
**[21:08] ---**
He ended up just expanding his collection instead,
and she ended up growing to resent him.
**[21:14] ---**
What's Ririko's story, then?
**[21:15] ---**
Her? She's just your
ordinary sort of waitress.
**[21:18] ---**
You call that ordinary?!
**[21:20] ---**
Please forgive me, Miki.
I broke my promise...
**[21:23] ---**
But I do hope you will still come back to me.
**[21:26] ---**
I'm almost certain she never will.
**[21:27] ---**
If you could sign this receipt for me.
**[21:29] ---**
For handing over those perps I say thank you,
bless you, and hang me out to dry!
**[21:33] ---**
"Handing them over?"
You basically snatched them away from us.
**[21:36] ---**
Oh, but that just sounds awful!
**[21:39] ---**
Anywho, excellent work out there!
**[21:41] ---**
We are professionals, you see.
**[21:44] ---**
Let me be clear.
**[21:45] ---**
We will never accept another job from you.
**[21:49] ---**
Do be careful, then.
**[21:51] ---**
Fame isn't always easy, you know.
**[22:04] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[00:19] ---**
Flying through the mesh of clouds
**[00:22] ---**
Our dancing wings wrap up in the wind
**[00:26] ---**
Stars fall right before our eyes
**[00:35] ---**
The blue of all blues that drew us in
**[00:39] ---**
We kicked up off the blurring ground
**[00:42] ---**
Let me hear the sound of the sky you know
**[00:49] ---**
Take flight make gravity your ally
**[00:56] ---**
One more time, however many
times, laughing all along
**[01:03] ---**
We would never look back when we fly
**[01:10] ---**
An everlasting dream we
live in pursuit of tomorrow
**[01:15] ---**
Amid rising despair I locked away my love
**[01:18] ---**
I hate my weak self
**[01:21] ---**
Here and now passes by as
we head towards the future
**[01:32] ---**
Yikes! I forgot Malo!
**[01:34] ---**
Do you honestly plan on
taking that thing with you?
**[01:36] ---**
You really shouldn't!
**[01:37] ---**
I'm heading out ahead, then.
**[01:38] ---**
You can't wait for us?
**[01:40] ---**
What does it matter?
We're headed off to different places anyway.
**[01:43] ---**
We could still stay together
at least as far as Shibushiku.
**[01:45] ---**
Kate, I got us a map of
the way out to Teikatsu.
**[01:47] ---**
Understood.
**[01:48] ---**
Kylie, the rest of us might
be away for a while...
**[01:50] ---**
But don't you go tarnishing
the Corps while we're gone.
**[01:53] ---**
In other words, do behave yourself.
**[01:56] ---**
Yeah yeah yeah yeah...
**[01:57] ---**
I've got those engines warmed and ready and
**[01:58] ---**
you're just gonna sit around
taking your sweet time?!
**[02:00] ---**
Someone got the runs or something?
**[02:02] ---**
We're coming, we're coming.
**[02:03] ---**
You hold down the fort
while we're away, Kylie.
**[02:05] ---**
The Hagoromo's in your hands now.
**[02:07] ---**
Yep.
**[02:08] ---**
Not like it's going anywhere
since it's grounded for repairs.
**[02:12] ---**
If you want a souvenir I could
get you something, you know!
**[02:14] ---**
No thanks.
**[02:15] ---**
Really now? Fine, you get nothing!
**[02:19] ---**
The Vagabond Spruce
**[02:32] ---**
What's with that sleepy face?
**[02:34] ---**
I'm just so bored.
**[02:36] ---**
Everyone else sure seemed busy.
**[02:37] ---**
They sure love to work, huh?
**[02:39] ---**
And here we were with a whole month off.
**[02:42] ---**
I'd think almost anyone would jump at
the chance for work with a twenty percent raise.
**[02:47] ---**
Not you?
**[02:48] ---**
I'd go if I could just fly
wherever I want however I want.
**[02:51] ---**
Well that wouldn't be work now, would it?
**[02:54] ---**
I always thought you loved the work you do.
**[02:57] ---**
I mean, I don't hate it!
**[02:58] ---**
It's how I get to fly.
**[03:00] ---**
I'll clean that up for you if
you aren't going to finish it.
**[03:02] ---**
What?! Not a chance!
**[03:04] ---**
I thought so.
**[03:05] ---**
What, you want me to tell you a story?
**[03:07] ---**
Mhmm.
**[03:09] ---**
Well, when you put me
on the spot like that...
**[03:13] ---**
Back during out transport
of the fish to Ikesuka...
**[03:16] ---**
The brave KOTOBUKI Corps
put on a fantastic show.
**[03:20] ---**
Their popularity has since sky rocketed,
**[03:22] ---**
and the phones have rung off
the hook to get 'em booked!
**[03:25] ---**
That's a boring story.
**[03:27] ---**
Okay, then...
**[03:28] ---**
How about how the Ouni Company has
temporarily called off all operations?
**[03:31] ---**
All pilots are free to take on side jobs,
and they'll still get their normal salaries, too!
**[03:35] ---**
First Off, you're the
most boring person ever.
**[03:37] ---**
I get that a lot.
**[03:44] ---**
Tanbabajin baranzura!
**[03:46] ---**
Ranzura!
**[03:48] ---**
What does that even mean?
**[03:49] ---**
Hey! You're Reona's lackey!
**[03:50] ---**
I'm no lackey, I'm Kylie!
**[03:52] ---**
What are you doing out here, lackey-Kylie?
**[03:56] ---**
Just getting some air.
**[03:57] ---**
How, like this?
**[03:58] ---**
Like this?
**[04:00] ---**
No, I'm just walking around aimlessly.
**[04:02] ---**
You don't even have anywhere to go?
**[04:03] ---**
Why not?
**[04:04] ---**
She told me she had no
place to go before, too!
**[04:05] ---**
No, I didn't!
**[04:06] ---**
Yes, you did!
**[04:07] ---**
Check out those planes! Awesome!
**[04:09] ---**
There's so many!
**[04:10] ---**
Where are a bunch of planes
like that headed for?
**[04:13] ---**
Know what? I thought up something I can do.
**[04:15] ---**
Oh yeah, what?
**[04:16] ---**
I'm gonna steal you two away
and boil you up into a stew!
**[04:20] ---**
Bwahahaha!
**[04:21] ---**
Tanbabajin!
**[04:29] ---**
And here I was thinking we were going
to be on high alert. What a disappointment.
**[04:33] ---**
They're just so happy to declare themselves
a sister city with Ikesuka now.
**[04:37] ---**
So they've poured plenty of extra funds
into the ceremony.
**[04:41] ---**
On this? Do they have brains
in those heads of theirs?
**[04:45] ---**
You sure have developed
quite the sharp tongue, hmm?
**[04:48] ---**
Back at school you were much
more close-minded and stubborn.
**[04:52] ---**
But now I hear they call you
"Emma the Fierce", was it?
**[04:55] ---**
What a wonderful nickname!
**[04:58] ---**
She who touches pitch shall
be defiled therewith, yes?
**[05:00] ---**
People talk of our corps like
we're a pack of racketeers.
**[05:04] ---**
I've heard talk.
**[05:07] ---**
And it would seem you are quite the pilot.
**[05:09] ---**
Am I, though?
**[05:10] ---**
I simply fly because it's the
only way to earn a living.
**[05:12] ---**
Well, I won't try and nose my way
in any deeper than that.
**[05:15] ---**
Oh, but how is your family?
**[05:17] ---**
Now, just as always, I am astounded that
they still think I am just merrily traveling the world.
**[05:23] ---**
They even ask me to bring back souvenirs.
**[05:25] ---**
Oh my...
**[05:27] ---**
But knowing you, I bet you do just that, yes?
**[05:30] ---**
It's as if they think money just bubbles up from
below their feet, and it's really too much.
**[05:35] ---**
I'm sure your whole family
is so proud of you, though.
**[05:40] ---**
Just the other day someone trying to pass themselves off
**[05:43] ---**
as an old friend tried to
borrow money from them.
**[05:47] ---**
Oh my, not again?
**[05:48] ---**
Even after they nearly lost
everything in a scam before...
**[05:51] ---**
They're still managing
to at least stay afloat,
**[05:53] ---**
so people must think they
are sitting on some fortune.
**[05:56] ---**
Did they really fall for it again?
**[05:58] ---**
I stopped them just moments
before the deal was sealed.
**[06:00] ---**
What a close call! You poor thing.
**[06:03] ---**
Adversity makes a man wise, you know.
**[06:07] ---**
I don't need them to be wise.
**[06:10] ---**
I just wish they would cut
back on the adversity.
**[06:14] ---**
Well, perhaps it's time we get to work.
**[06:16] ---**
We're meant to patrol the
airspace above the venue, yes?
**[06:20] ---**
I never figured Nakamizu
would be the sort to retire.
**[06:23] ---**
I figured they were in this for life.
**[06:26] ---**
With this whole new license system and
union registration and what not...
**[06:31] ---**
Apparently they just got fed
up with all the red tape.
**[06:34] ---**
Unions?
**[06:35] ---**
Areshima has those, sure, but...
**[06:38] ---**
But... We've got them out here
in the middle of nowhere, too.
**[06:40] ---**
Not just the fighter pilots either,
but postal workers like us, too.
**[06:45] ---**
It's ridiculous, really.
**[06:47] ---**
And it's only gotten worse since last month.
**[06:50] ---**
I've never been good with paperwork either,
so it has been quite rough.
**[06:53] ---**
Yeah, huh?
**[06:54] ---**
What has the world come to?
**[06:57] ---**
I mean sure, that probably makes me
sound old and grouchy, but...
**[06:59] ---**
Listen to yourself.
**[07:01] ---**
If you're old, what does that make me?
**[07:04] ---**
Don't you worry, you'll never be
a day over seventeen, Higako.
**[07:08] ---**
And you're right with me, Musako!
**[07:18] ---**
I asked to be put on the waiting list
a whole month ago! What's the deal!
**[07:22] ---**
I'm sorry, that particular
book is just ever so popular.
**[07:25] ---**
I heard it is at least being
put back in print again, but...
**[07:28] ---**
I'm really sorry.
**[07:30] ---**
There you are!
**[07:31] ---**
I knew the Shibushiku Library would have it!
**[07:34] ---**
"The Final Shopping Wave"
**[07:36] ---**
I finally got my hands on it!
**[07:37] ---**
Why's a book from Ikesuka so hot?
**[07:41] ---**
You telling me all these people out here
are dying to learn more about the place?
**[07:44] ---**
Well, it is the greatest city in the land!
**[07:48] ---**
People just want to stay in the know.
**[07:53] ---**
Why should a city like Gadoll, a place with
it's own culture, history, and environment...
**[07:59] ---**
have to adopt the nonsensical ways of a completely
unrelated city like Ikesuka and its mayor?
**[08:05] ---**
Get out of here!
**[08:06] ---**
Traitor!
**[08:06] ---**
Half-wit!
**[08:07] ---**
If we give up our autonomy,
this city is done for!
**[08:11] ---**
How can you be so blind?!
**[08:12] ---**
Piss off!
**[08:13] ---**
Learn some sense!
**[08:13] ---**
Quit being so stuck in the past!
**[08:15] ---**
Councilor Julia! I must ask you retract
your statements and apologize!
**[08:19] ---**
I have merely spoken the truth.
**[08:20] ---**
I will not retract a word!
**[08:21] ---**
Get her out of here!
**[08:22] ---**
Wait just a minute.
**[08:23] ---**
What about our vote?
**[08:24] ---**
Are we not here to vote on whether or not
we enter into the Brotherhood of Freedom Union?
**[08:28] ---**
You have been ordered to leave. Begone!
**[08:30] ---**
You dare try and defy me of my right
as councilor to vote?!
**[08:33] ---**
Go on and get lost!
**[08:34] ---**
Get outta here!
**[08:38] ---**
Even life as an air pirate would be
better than working for Isao!
**[08:42] ---**
What was that?!
**[08:43] ---**
Enough of your nonsense!
**[08:43] ---**
Get her off this council!
**[08:45] ---**
Bribes and collusion.
Embezzlement and voters right violations.
**[08:48] ---**
Every last one of those senile old men
has dirty laundry to air out.
**[08:51] ---**
And I think it's time for a laundry day.
**[08:53] ---**
But Lady Julia...
**[08:54] ---**
You're right, it's the younger bunch
that are the real problem.
**[08:56] ---**
They're the ones that fall for Isao and
his fake image without so much as a push.
**[09:00] ---**
You don't have to dig far to see
how thoughtless they are.
**[09:03] ---**
It's pathetic, honestly.
**[09:05] ---**
That's not what I meant. I
think you are in true danger.
**[09:08] ---**
What?
**[09:11] ---**
You should flee this place.
**[09:12] ---**
Are you serious?
**[09:13] ---**
I am...
**[09:14] ---**
I say this with one thousand
percent certainty.
**[09:29] ---**
Run for cover!
**[09:30] ---**
'kay!
**[09:36] ---**
Now where'd you go?
**[09:41] ---**
Gotcha, Miyuri!
**[09:43] ---**
Liar!
**[09:43] ---**
I'm not! You're behind the tree! I found you!
**[09:47] ---**
Too bad you'll never find a purpose in life.
**[09:49] ---**
Well aren't you a clever one!
**[09:52] ---**
Goodbye can!
**[09:53] ---**
Shoot!
**[09:57] ---**
You're the worst, Captain!
**[09:59] ---**
What's your deal?!
**[10:00] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[10:03] ---**
Do you want to hear what I have for you today,
or what I have for you tomorrow?
**[10:08] ---**
I wanna hear whichever is better.
**[10:09] ---**
Well, that all depends on you.
**[10:12] ---**
I'll start with today.
**[10:14] ---**
Allen wants to go out for a scenic flight
around Rahama, it seems.
**[10:17] ---**
What?
**[10:18] ---**
I'm sure he'd ask Kate if she were around,
but she's away in Doan.
**[10:23] ---**
As for tomorrow, I've got an
invitation to work elsewhere.
**[10:26] ---**
What?! You're leaving the Ouni Company?
**[10:28] ---**
Don't jump to conclusions.
**[10:29] ---**
The invitation is for the KOTOBUKI Corps.
**[10:32] ---**
The offer comes from a
company out in Areshima.
**[10:35] ---**
Why?!
**[10:36] ---**
Why indeed?
**[10:37] ---**
They say they'll offer you
twice your current pay.
**[10:39] ---**
Seems it would make things easier if you
all took the offer, but they'll take even one of you.
**[10:43] ---**
They say they'll look into getting you
whatever aircraft you want, too.
**[10:47] ---**
The Tamsin Company?
**[10:49] ---**
I feel like I've heard
that name before, maybe...
**[10:51] ---**
They're the biggest name in distribution.
**[10:53] ---**
They just announced they'll be teaming up
with View Trading the other day.
**[10:56] ---**
That's Isao's place! No way!
**[10:58] ---**
The offer is open until the end of the month.
Why don't you think it over?
**[11:02] ---**
But...!
**[11:03] ---**
What?
**[11:06] ---**
Are you trying to say you
don't need us anymore?
**[11:10] ---**
I have no right to order you to stay.
**[11:13] ---**
And don't come expecting me
to drop down and beg you, either.
**[11:16] ---**
You can make this choice yourself.
**[11:20] ---**
It sounds like a great chance.
**[11:21] ---**
Do you seriously think so?
**[11:23] ---**
I'd at least be a little tempted.
**[11:26] ---**
You're awful.
**[11:27] ---**
I mean, flying is flying, right?
**[11:31] ---**
We all need money, too.
**[11:34] ---**
Can you at least quit drinking
while we're up here?
**[11:37] ---**
Why?
**[11:38] ---**
'Cause I said so!
**[11:39] ---**
Oh, fine then.
**[11:40] ---**
Sorry.
**[11:41] ---**
It's not like I've got time
to waste with you out here.
**[11:43] ---**
I'm super busy with all my can-kicking
and soul searching.
**[11:47] ---**
Say Thunderbolt, do you remember
when the hole closed up?
**[11:50] ---**
Quit calling me that.
**[11:52] ---**
It was seventy years ago.
**[11:53] ---**
Nope!
**[11:54] ---**
What?!
**[11:55] ---**
There's reason to believe it has opened
and closed again since then.
**[11:58] ---**
Yeah, right!
**[12:00] ---**
Did you see it? You didn't, did you?
**[12:01] ---**
I guess not.
**[12:02] ---**
Because I was shot down by
some unidentified planes,
**[12:04] ---**
just before I found the proof I needed.
**[12:07] ---**
And I've been stuck in a wheel chair,
never making it up above 60 centi-khrill since.
**[12:14] ---**
Sure, these were probably smaller holes.
**[12:16] ---**
Nothing of the scale of the one
that brought the Yufang here.
**[12:21] ---**
But if they did in fact open...
**[12:24] ---**
Then what?
**[12:26] ---**
Someone may have made there way here and
done whatever it is they came to do.
**[12:29] ---**
What? What's that supposed to mean?
**[12:31] ---**
Or maybe they did nothing at all.
**[12:33] ---**
That's a big difference!
**[12:34] ---**
Mind if I take just one sip?
**[12:36] ---**
Not a chance!
**[12:37] ---**
You're so cruel, Thunderbolt.
This is the only fun I get.
**[12:41] ---**
Yeah right! You have plenty
of fun talking about that hole.
**[12:45] ---**
You noticed?
**[12:50] ---**
Excuse me...
**[12:51] ---**
No need to get all worked up, I'm
just here for a little visit.
**[12:56] ---**
Hideaki, sir! This way!
**[12:58] ---**
Yes, yes, I'll be right there.
**[13:00] ---**
So you just keep quiet, yes?
**[13:05] ---**
If you don't, well...
**[13:06] ---**
Sir, look.
**[13:08] ---**
My, well what have we here?
**[13:11] ---**
This won't do. Drinking while
crippled is just inexcusable.
**[13:14] ---**
We'll be relieving him of this.
**[13:16] ---**
What about this?
**[13:18] ---**
This is...
**[13:21] ---**
Oh, even worse. We'll
definitely be taking this.
**[13:24] ---**
It's the owner himself who I
think is due to be tossed out!
**[13:28] ---**
Can you bank at a forty five degree angle and
turn us around one full rotation to the right?
**[13:31] ---**
What? Why?
**[13:33] ---**
Just something I want to check.
**[13:35] ---**
Fine, I guess...
**[13:45] ---**
What are you doing back there?
**[13:46] ---**
What would you do if you had
the chance to go to Yufang?
**[13:50] ---**
What?
**[13:51] ---**
I guess I'd look for Ol' Sab.
**[13:53] ---**
Ol' who?
**[13:54] ---**
A friend of yours?
**[13:55] ---**
More like my grandpa.
**[13:57] ---**
I mean, not literally, but he
was just this normal old guy.
**[14:01] ---**
Maybe not all that normal, though.
**[14:03] ---**
What do you mean?
**[14:04] ---**
When I was a kid he took me up in his plane,
**[14:07] ---**
but then he just vanished,
and I never saw him again.
**[14:10] ---**
What does that have to do with Yufang?
**[14:12] ---**
Can't say for sure, but he
might have been from Yufang.
**[14:15] ---**
He had tons of Yufang
stuff. Books, even planes.
**[14:19] ---**
He had a Hayabusa?
**[14:20] ---**
No, he had a Zero. A model 32!
**[14:23] ---**
I thought I was gonna pee myself
the first time he took me for a ride!
**[14:27] ---**
It was amazing!
**[14:28] ---**
Jumping back to that new job offer,
they might have model 32s too, you know.
**[14:33] ---**
What?
**[14:34] ---**
What would you do if you had the chance
to fly in one again?
**[14:36] ---**
I wouldn't care. The
Hayabusa is still the best.
**[14:39] ---**
And the only real 32 was Ol' Sab's!
**[14:40] ---**
All others are fakes! I hate 'em!
I wish they'd all just blow up!
**[14:44] ---**
Am I sensing a grudge?
**[14:45] ---**
Nope!
**[14:46] ---**
Well, maybe.
**[14:47] ---**
Really, now?
**[14:49] ---**
Can you take us up to a thousand khrill?
**[14:51] ---**
'spose so.
**[14:52] ---**
Turn us right and upwards at
a five hundred khrill radius.
**[14:55] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[14:58] ---**
Hold altitude here and turn us left.
**[15:00] ---**
Yep, yep, yep.
**[15:05] ---**
Now let's zoom up to fifteen hundred.
**[15:06] ---**
Aka-tombo can't fly that high!
**[15:15] ---**
Wait...
**[15:20] ---**
There!
**[15:21] ---**
What?!
**[15:21] ---**
Cut it and stop here.
**[15:23] ---**
Not a chance!
**[15:26] ---**
What... is that?
**[15:30] ---**
Uh, hello?
**[15:31] ---**
Huh? Oh.
**[15:32] ---**
Is that... the hole?
**[15:34] ---**
No, it's not open now.
**[15:36] ---**
It's probably just going to disappear.
**[15:39] ---**
Is there a chance it might open?
**[15:40] ---**
There is.
**[15:40] ---**
That's incredi-
**[15:43] ---**
Who-what-why?!
**[15:45] ---**
Maybe I was a little too focused on
my calculations and observations.
**[15:48] ---**
You think?!
**[15:50] ---**
Uh-oh. Are those Shiden-kai?
**[16:03] ---**
Those aren't the sorts you want to face in
this under powered Type 95 Intermediate Trainer.
**[16:06] ---**
Well, that's an understatement!
**[16:09] ---**
Still, they sure don't seem
ready to go easy on us.
**[16:14] ---**
It's been so long since
I've been in a dogfight!
**[16:16] ---**
This is so exciting!
**[16:17] ---**
Are you crazy?
**[16:19] ---**
It's not even a "fight" if we don't have
any means of fighting back!
**[16:21] ---**
Just like you wouldn't call an army chasing
down an unarmed civilian a war!
**[16:24] ---**
True!
**[16:26] ---**
Huh?
**[16:27] ---**
I've got a little favor to ask.
**[16:29] ---**
What?
**[16:30] ---**
See, I've got much better aim
with a little drink in me.
**[16:34] ---**
Whaddya say?
**[16:35] ---**
If you're lying, you're really in for it.
**[16:37] ---**
I'd never!
**[16:42] ---**
Tell me Thunderbolt, what sort of flaws
do you think those birds have?
**[16:45] ---**
Uhh... they're too heavy?
**[16:46] ---**
There's that.
**[16:48] ---**
But even more than that,
they're just too fast.
**[16:51] ---**
What?!
**[16:51] ---**
Plus, they aren't built for turns.
**[16:54] ---**
They have to take these big, long arcs.
**[16:57] ---**
This 95 might be slow, under-armed, and paper-thin,
but we can use that all to our advantage.
**[17:23] ---**
They're coming straight at us!
**[17:24] ---**
We're sitting ducks if they
come at us that way, huh.
**[17:30] ---**
Thunderbolt, point us down.
**[17:32] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[17:54] ---**
They're in my blind spot!
**[17:55] ---**
Can you roll right?
**[17:56] ---**
C'mon!
**[18:13] ---**
What the heck?!
**[18:20] ---**
What are we gonna do?!
**[18:21] ---**
Steady now, steady.
**[19:09] ---**
You think I'm going down? Not a chance!
Not in your wildest dreams!
**[19:45] ---**
You're pretty good at
faking dead, Thunderbolt!
**[19:48] ---**
Not that I ever wanted to be!
**[19:50] ---**
Don't let your pride get the better of you!
**[19:53] ---**
Just shrug it off, shrug it off!
**[19:55] ---**
This is clearly Ikesuka
meddling in our affairs!
**[19:58] ---**
Whatever do you mean?
**[20:00] ---**
We here have a commitment
to protect the people of Ikesuka.
**[20:04] ---**
If you do not hold up your end of the deal,
**[20:06] ---**
we'll be forced to see you as
cohorts with those awful pirates.
**[20:10] ---**
It's unfortunate that it has come to this,
but we will now be bombing your capitol building.
**[20:24] ---**
I never would have...
**[20:25] ---**
I've already talked with Kylie,
but I want you to tell the others.
**[20:30] ---**
What's your stance, Madame?
**[20:32] ---**
I have none. I don't plan on
meddling in your decision.
**[20:37] ---**
Things will go as they go.
**[20:38] ---**
It's pointless trying to force
others to do as you wish.
**[20:41] ---**
Not impossible, but "pointless?"
**[20:44] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[20:46] ---**
What would you consider
as having a "point," then?
**[20:49] ---**
The freedom to choose.
**[20:52] ---**
Interesting...
**[20:53] ---**
You sure do love getting shot down, doncha?
**[20:56] ---**
Probably even more than you like
shooting other people down, huh?
**[20:58] ---**
Chika, watch your mouth!
**[21:00] ---**
This was more of an accident
than anything else.
**[21:03] ---**
Yeah, ok?
**[21:04] ---**
And you, show some more appreciation
to Chika for coming out to save you!
**[21:07] ---**
What?!
**[21:11] ---**
Thank you so very much, Chika.
**[21:13] ---**
I am simply glad you are all right.
**[21:15] ---**
Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
**[21:17] ---**
Oh, nonsense.
**[21:19] ---**
Oh, yeah! Madame!
**[21:21] ---**
I'm not leaving the Corps!
**[21:24] ---**
Is that so?
**[21:24] ---**
I don't wanna take orders from or
have to listen to anyone but Reona.
**[21:28] ---**
Plus, another hole might
open up over Rahama soon!
**[21:31] ---**
I don't wanna miss that!
**[21:33] ---**
What?!
**[21:35] ---**
A hole? Surrender? Invasion? Alliance?
**[21:38] ---**
How am I supposed to follow
if you just keep going on and on?
**[21:42] ---**
Trim it down for me.
**[21:43] ---**
To put it simply, things are heating up,
and going swimmingly.
**[21:46] ---**
That is all.
**[21:47] ---**
Oh, okay!
**[21:49] ---**
Swimmingly, huh?
**[21:51] ---**
Quite swimmingly, I dare say.
**[22:04] ---**
I wanted to try and soar through that sky
**[22:08] ---**
So I wished upon the winds right before me
**[22:12] ---**
Our aspirations build us scenery
**[22:16] ---**
I wonder how that wind is now
**[22:25] ---**
Why do we fight, I wonder
**[22:29] ---**
What is our purpose here?
**[22:33] ---**
I asked, but the skies do not answer
**[22:42] ---**
We all have wings
**[22:49] ---**
Far away at the end of all lament
**[22:53] ---**
The stories we found
**[22:58] ---**
No one can steal these skies away
**[23:05] ---**
We will soar unafraid of anything
**[23:10] ---**
Because happiness is right here

**[00:10] ---**
It's a fighter plane.
**[00:12] ---**
Just one, but would you have us shoot it down?
**[00:14] ---**
Let's do it!
**[00:16] ---**
Hold on just a moment...
**[00:19] ---**
It would seem they plan to surrender.
**[00:21] ---**
Well that's boring.
**[00:23] ---**
But fine, sure.
**[01:03] ---**
Took you long enough.
**[01:05] ---**
Not by choice.

The Aggressive Bombers
**[02:40] ---**
A hole...
**[02:41] ---**
...is opening again?
**[02:42] ---**
Well we can't exactly say for sure.
**[02:44] ---**
But it'll probably open pretty soon.
**[02:46] ---**
It was all like swirly and fuzzy and stuff.
**[02:49] ---**
Kylie, you saw it, too?
**[02:51] ---**
Huh? Yeah.
**[02:52] ---**
Why'd you get to? That's not fair!
**[02:55] ---**
The way I see it, a hole didn't open
just once seventy years ago.
**[02:58] ---**
But instead lots of different sized ones
have opened up all over a bunch of times.
**[03:03] ---**
The one seventy years ago just happened
to connect us with the Yufang.
**[03:07] ---**
A bunch of times... and just by chance?
**[03:09] ---**
Well, color me amazed.
**[03:11] ---**
What are you old farts doing here, anyway?
**[03:13] ---**
Just paying back a favor.
**[03:14] ---**
You did save our hometown, after all.
**[03:17] ---**
This is just a hypothesis, but I'd wager a hole is to blame for the
**[03:21] ---**
sea disappearing from Ijitsu, too.
**[03:23] ---**
These holes are nothing but trouble!
**[03:25] ---**
Now we can only see the sea in "See the Sea"!
**[03:29] ---**
Councilor Julia. What brings you here?
**[03:31] ---**
Oh, don't you give me that.
**[03:34] ---**
You know exactly what's going on!
**[03:35] ---**
I know what, now?
**[03:36] ---**
That I'm no "Councilor" anymore!
**[03:39] ---**
Have you resigned?
**[03:40] ---**
Those stupid old men and their brainless young
counterparts teamed up to throw me out!
**[03:45] ---**
Accusing me of bribery, embezzlement, even treason!
**[03:47] ---**
A cornucopia of crimes!
**[03:49] ---**
That's so cool!
**[03:50] ---**
You're far more evil than I imagined!
**[03:51] ---**
What's it gonna be? The death sentence?!
**[03:53] ---**
They're simply trying to frame me!
**[03:54] ---**
Fabricating offenses is a crime.
**[03:55] ---**
Not to that lot, it isn't.
**[03:56] ---**
Has Gadoll sided with Isao, then?
**[03:59] ---**
There were eight votes to side with him,
one against, and one withheld vote.
**[04:02] ---**
So now they're all part of Isao's little club.
**[04:05] ---**
You should hear those morons go on about
how we need to dismantle our vested interests.
**[04:08] ---**
As if all those interests aren't just getting
gobbled up by Isao himself.
**[04:11] ---**
That union he proposes, though...
**[04:14] ---**
The Brotherhood of Freedom Union, was it?
**[04:16] ---**
It doesn't seem like such a bad idea to me.
**[04:17] ---**
It's quite logical.
**[04:18] ---**
Where's the downside?
**[04:20] ---**
We step up punishments for air pirates,
**[04:22] ---**
and the View Security Guard takes care of dealing with 'em all.
**[04:27] ---**
All that awaits us in this "world peace" of his is
a complete and total dictatorship under him.
**[04:36] ---**
You and that wild imagination of yours!
**[04:39] ---**
He doesn't really seem like that bad a guy.
**[04:41] ---**
He's good at magic tricks, too!
**[04:42] ---**
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
**[04:43] ---**
He's the sort of person who works for other's sake.
I have no doubt about that.
**[04:48] ---**
Out in the countryside, the union monopoly
has stabilized the prices of goods.
**[04:52] ---**
And you don't see poor quality goods making
the rounds anymore either thanks to them.
**[04:56] ---**
You don't even notice the choke collar
they've wrapped around your neck, do you?
**[04:59] ---**
He'll run the world any way he so pleases.
**[05:02] ---**
I don't trust that man, myself.
**[05:05] ---**
He seems the sort that lacks the capacity for empathy.
**[05:08] ---**
Rahama hasn't really decided on
the whole union issue one way or another yet.
**[05:11] ---**
But I figure we'll still manage to get by somehow.
**[05:15] ---**
I doubt he'll just let Rahama be.
**[05:17] ---**
What? He won't?
**[05:18] ---**
What's that you're doing there, Allen?
**[05:20] ---**
Just waiting on that curtain call.
**[05:21] ---**
Like in a play?
**[05:22] ---**
Exactly.
**[05:23] ---**
But we won't know if it's a comedy
or a tragedy until after it starts.
**[05:25] ---**
Yes, please hold.
**[05:28] ---**
Allen...
**[05:29] ---**
Allen! It's here!
**[05:30] ---**
It's really happening!
**[05:32] ---**
It's wide open!
**[05:33] ---**
Is it now...
**[05:34] ---**
So I was right about the timing,
but miscalculated the location.
**[05:36] ---**
That's really another hole, then?
**[05:38] ---**
That's not really how I imagined them.
**[05:41] ---**
Is this what you meant when you
said Isao wouldn't let Rahama be?
**[05:44] ---**
In hindsight, it seems like he's been after nothing,
but securing these holes for himself the whole time.
**[05:50] ---**
That's why he's been ruthlessly hunting down anyone
who tries to learn more about them.
**[05:53] ---**
Madame! Madame Loulou!
**[05:55] ---**
What's the situation?
**[05:56] ---**
Incoming craft says Shouto's been bombed!
Should we let them aboard?
**[05:59] ---**
Give them landing permission.
**[06:07] ---**
I'm from the Shouto Vigil-
**[06:14] ---**
I'm Camilla, head of the Shouto Vigilantes.
**[06:17] ---**
Has Shouto truly been bombed?
**[06:19] ---**
Why on earth would I lie about that?
**[06:22] ---**
Bombed by who, then?
**[06:24] ---**
Planes from Ikesuka!
**[06:25] ---**
But Shouto has long been an ally to Isao.
Why would they do such a thing?
**[06:30] ---**
Don't ask me!
**[06:33] ---**
They just came in all,
"You're plotting against us, aren't you!"
**[06:37] ---**
But I knew there had to be some mistake,
so I surrendered right away, being all, "Sorry!"
**[06:42] ---**
But they were just like, "It's too late!"
**[06:43] ---**
Can you believe it?
**[06:46] ---**
This is exactly why we should have
just joined the Union to begin with!
**[06:49] ---**
We're gonna be next in their sights!
**[06:51] ---**
Then we need to fight back.
**[06:53] ---**
It's not as easy as that.
**[06:55] ---**
Yeah, we'd be in a world of trouble!
**[06:56] ---**
We could all get killed! Plus...
**[06:59] ---**
We don't really know why it was they bombed Shouto...
**[07:02] ---**
It's because they were no longer any use to Isao!
**[07:04] ---**
Use how?
**[07:05] ---**
Excuse me everyone, but would
you mind taking a look at this?
**[07:08] ---**
If you want to know why Shouto was bombed...
**[07:10] ---**
It's because it was the most likely location
for the hole to open over.
**[07:14] ---**
But as it turns out, the hole opened up over Rahama.
**[07:17] ---**
Are you saying Isao was after this hole?
**[07:20] ---**
Hang on though, aren't you the one
who predicted it would appear there?
**[07:23] ---**
How did Isao even know?
**[07:25] ---**
Because he stole all my research from my hospital room.
**[07:27] ---**
This here is what I recompiled from what I had left.
**[07:30] ---**
He's going to come for that hole no matter what it takes.
**[07:33] ---**
You mean he's gonna come bomb Rahama next, then?!
**[07:38] ---**
Excuse me, if I may.
**[07:40] ---**
I come as a messenger from
the Brotherhood of Freedom Union.
**[07:45] ---**
They're one step ahead of us!
**[07:47] ---**
This is a final warning from Chairman Isao himself.
**[07:50] ---**
You are to immediately turn over
the fugitive former Councilor Julia.
**[07:54] ---**
Furthermore, he demands that Rahama
join the Brotherhood of Freedom Union.
**[07:58] ---**
Fail to meet these terms, and we will be forced
to bomb Rahama in twenty-four hours time.
**[08:05] ---**
Truly, truly! A most unfortunate situation.
**[08:08] ---**
Don't pretend you don't plan on leveling this place
to the ground like you did to Shouta either way!
**[08:13] ---**
You brute!
**[08:13] ---**
You monster! You demon!
**[08:13] ---**
What ever do you mean, Miss Turncoat?
**[08:16] ---**
Chairman Isao is a most honorable man and issued
his warning a full twenty-four hours in advance.
**[08:21] ---**
Not a single life was lost.
**[08:25] ---**
That's it!
**[08:26] ---**
He just wants the city emptied!
**[08:28] ---**
So he can have the hole all to himself.
**[08:30] ---**
His demands are simple.
**[08:32] ---**
I hope you will speak for all of Rahama now,
and not be tempted by the words of this criminal here.
**[08:38] ---**
What'll it be?
**[08:45] ---**
I just can't!
**[08:47] ---**
What?
**[08:48] ---**
What I'm trying to say is that, well, Rahama is...
**[08:51] ---**
not going to submit to your demands!
**[08:53] ---**
Get lost!
**[08:55] ---**
Get lost!
**[08:57] ---**
Get lost!
**[08:59] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:01] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:02] ---**
Well, that is most unfortunate.
**[09:03] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:04] ---**
Perhaps today was just not a good day?
**[09:05] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:07] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:08] ---**
Not that you'll have any better days now.
**[09:09] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:11] ---**
Get lost!
**[09:13] ---**
Nice work!
**[09:14] ---**
Mayor!
**[09:15] ---**
You sure showed 'em!
**[09:15] ---**
Nicely done!
**[09:17] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[09:56] ---**
What a boorish man he is to think he can just burn
down a town and send its people fleeing on a whim!
**[10:02] ---**
If he wishes to stomp out all resistance,
it is both an appropriate and logical strategy.
**[10:07] ---**
Magic-man has really let me down! Hmph!
**[10:10] ---**
Let me guess, you're wondering if it was those
around him who are really pulling the strings.
**[10:14] ---**
Something's just off about
burning down whole cities like this...
**[10:52] ---**
We've never flown this high before!
**[10:54] ---**
That doesn't mean you can't!
**[10:56] ---**
I want to knock out their numbers
before they make it to Rahama.
**[10:59] ---**
The only problem is our firepower and ability to reload.
**[11:02] ---**
That's where my secret weapons come in!
**[11:05] ---**
We've got their route locked down. Plenty of eyewitness
reports, and we got 'em right on our radar, too.
**[11:10] ---**
The perfect situation for an ambush.
**[11:12] ---**
Just the time for my Raiden to take the spotlight!
**[11:16] ---**
What the?!
**[11:27] ---**
It's freezing up here.
**[11:29] ---**
But it's so quiet, too.
**[11:31] ---**
And the sky's so blue.
**[11:34] ---**
I wish Ol' Sab was here to see this.
**[11:37] ---**
I wonder if he's already seen it, though.
**[12:01] ---**
This is it!
**[12:51] ---**
Got a hit! But that thing's still flying!
**[12:53] ---**
Fall back! Everyone head for the Hagoromo!
**[12:56] ---**
This isn't it for us, after all!
**[12:58] ---**
I wanna shoot some more rockets!
**[12:59] ---**
I sure wish I was shooting down fighters instead.
**[13:02] ---**
Enemy formation incoming!
**[13:04] ---**
We've got three large aircraft about fifty kilo-khrill! away!
**[13:07] ---**
Keep us updated.
**[13:12] ---**
I feel like it's getting even bigger.
**[13:15] ---**
It's holding its form, too.
**[13:17] ---**
I wonder how big it is now.
**[13:27] ---**
I want priority put on ammunition!
Don't worry about fuel, just fill up what you can.
**[13:30] ---**
Anyone who slacks gets a thirty-seven milimeter
shoved right up their rear!
**[13:32] ---**
Roger!
By all means!
**[13:33] ---**
Hurry up!
**[13:38] ---**
Looks like our friends here got
tighter turning than we do!
**[13:41] ---**
Don't go flying into friendly crossfire!
**[13:43] ---**
We've got three enemy bombers!
Closing in at twenty-five kilo-khrill!
**[13:46] ---**
My, my... Are we going to make it?
**[14:03] ---**
Shoot!
**[14:09] ---**
Kept you waiting, huh?
**[14:13] ---**
Take that!
**[14:15] ---**
Chika's here!
**[14:16] ---**
Enemy bombers only 13 kilo-khrill away!
**[14:19] ---**
Don't let them drop those bombs on Rahama!
**[14:21] ---**
All vigilantes focus on those escort fighters!
**[14:23] ---**
Leave the bombers to the KOTOBUKI Corps!
**[14:29] ---**
Jeez, these things are enormous!
**[14:32] ---**
All the easier to land hits on, don't you think?
**[14:36] ---**
What are these things made of?!
**[14:46] ---**
Dangit! They're not going to make this easy, are they?
**[14:51] ---**
I think that makes us even!
**[14:52] ---**
You really saved me there!
**[14:53] ---**
Not yet we haven't! Look!
**[14:58] ---**
Only 3 kilo-khrill until they reach Rahama!
**[15:00] ---**
Aim for the base of their main wings!
**[15:01] ---**
Follow my lead!
**[15:06] ---**
Hey, hey! Why don't we just blow up
those bombs of theirs?
**[15:09] ---**
That's unrealistic.
**[15:11] ---**
Is it?
**[15:12] ---**
Those bombs are well armored.
**[15:14] ---**
And piercing that plating won't be enough to set them off!
**[15:22] ---**
We did it!
**[15:26] ---**
Finally got one down. Only two to go!
**[15:28] ---**
They're just two kilo-khrill out!
**[15:31] ---**
We don't have enough time...
**[15:32] ---**
Don't give up!
**[15:53] ---**
What the heck?!
**[15:54] ---**
If they're shooting with us, I don't care who they are!
**[15:56] ---**
Who knows why they're here,
but we've got one target left!
**[15:58] ---**
We can do this!
**[15:58] ---**
Grrr, agh! Fine!
**[16:06] ---**
We're too late!
**[16:12] ---**
Dangit!
**[16:50] ---**
It's gone...
**[16:51] ---**
The hole seems to have disappeared.
**[16:53] ---**
What?! It did?! Why?!
**[16:55] ---**
Unfortunately I cannot answer that.
**[16:57] ---**
Aww shucks, it's gone then?
**[16:59] ---**
I guess I should have been out there flying myself.
**[17:04] ---**
I'll be taking my plane out next time.
**[17:05] ---**
Preparations are already complete.
**[17:09] ---**
They took down all but one of those bombers.
**[17:12] ---**
That may be enough to sway
other cities quaking in fear over them.
**[17:17] ---**
That's giving it a positive spin.
**[17:32] ---**
Why you...!
**[17:40] ---**
Kylie! What do you think you're doing?!
**[17:42] ---**
She's in her "Thunderbolt" mode now.
**[17:44] ---**
What's that even supposed to mean?
**[17:45] ---**
She's like an angry thunder cloud, now.
**[17:47] ---**
There's no stopping her until she's vented all her rage.
**[17:49] ---**
She only has three minutes of fuel remaining.
**[17:50] ---**
I'm going to shower.
**[18:07] ---**
Gotcha!
**[18:38] ---**
You stinkin'-
**[18:41] ---**
What's your deal?!
**[18:43] ---**
Why do you always have to be
such a pain and get in my way?!
**[18:46] ---**
You really piss me off!
**[18:48] ---**
You're a girl?! Who are you?
**[18:49] ---**
I'd like to ask you the same thing!
**[18:51] ---**
How many times have I driven you away just
to have you come chasing after me again all pushy?
**[18:56] ---**
Come on then, spit it out! Who are you?
Or what, you don't got a name?
**[18:58] ---**
I do have a name! I'm Kylie, okay?!
**[19:00] ---**
Oh, don't you give me that! Cut it with the attitude!
**[19:02] ---**
I don't care who you are or
what rock you crawled out from underneath!
**[19:05] ---**
I'm Naomi.
**[19:06] ---**
Naomi...?
**[19:07] ---**
I figured you'd be some big dumb oaf of a guy,
but you're just and old hag, huh?
**[19:10] ---**
If I'm a hag, then you're just
some snot-nosed little wanton bitch of a girl.
**[19:14] ---**
Wha...
**[19:15] ---**
And a shitty pilot!
**[19:16] ---**
Oh yeah?!
**[19:17] ---**
Shoot me down then, if I'm wrong!
**[19:19] ---**
You're lucky I'm so kind that I'm talking with you here,
but I don't know or care who the heck you are!
**[19:24] ---**
And I don't know or care who you are either!
**[19:26] ---**
But why the heck are you out here helping us now
when you were just some air pirate before?!
**[19:31] ---**
Well why should I have to be stuck
in the same place forever, huh?
**[19:34] ---**
I don't care for your stinking teams or alliances.
**[19:38] ---**
I hate all that crap. I do what I want, when I want!
**[19:41] ---**
What's wrong with that? Nothing, that's what!
**[19:43] ---**
I bet you thought I was your enemy this whole time.
You did, didn't you?
**[19:47] ---**
Well sucks to be you! I'm not your friend or your foe.
It just depends on what mood I'm in.
**[19:50] ---**
You're full of it!
**[19:51] ---**
Full of what? Why?
**[19:53] ---**
I sided with Julia-what's-her-face this time, but that's
just cause she makes more sense than Isao-whatever.
**[19:57] ---**
Now can you quit trying to slap
your stinkin' labels on me?
**[20:00] ---**
You sure are ignorant for such a young kid!
Ugh, I can't stand it!
**[20:04] ---**
Don't you agree?
**[20:05] ---**
Oh, I definitely do.
**[20:07] ---**
Yeowch!
**[20:07] ---**
And you know what I can't stand
the most about you? That mark of yours!
**[20:11] ---**
My mark...?
**[20:12] ---**
Don't play dumb with me!
**[20:13] ---**
That mark on your tail there was
my stinkin' mentor's mark.
**[20:17] ---**
Now, I don't know where you caught a peek
of that mark there, but let me set you straight.
**[20:19] ---**
Quit copying it you stinkin' little boy!
Or girl, or whatever!
**[20:26] ---**
Ol' Sab taught you?!
**[20:27] ---**
You know Ol' Sab? How?
**[20:29] ---**
Are you his wife?!
**[20:29] ---**
The hell I am! What are you,
his daughter or something? Granddaughter?!
**[20:32] ---**
No!
**[20:33] ---**
Then what, then?
**[20:37] ---**
I don't even know...
**[20:41] ---**
Huh, so that crabby old man was
always like that then, eh?
**[20:45] ---**
Yup!
**[20:47] ---**
So, Miss Naomi was it? Were you his student?
**[20:49] ---**
Just Naomi's fine.
**[20:51] ---**
It was about eight years ago, now.
**[20:54] ---**
After you met him, I guess.
**[20:57] ---**
We met kinda the same way you and I just did,
and a lot happened from there.
**[21:01] ---**
A lot...?
**[21:02] ---**
Yup, and I ended up learning under him.
**[21:06] ---**
I learned from him, stole his techniques,
and promised myself I'd shoot him down someday.
**[21:10] ---**
Ooh! I kinda wanna hear what
went down between you two.
**[21:13] ---**
But that lecherous perv of an old fart just took off
one day without so much as a word to anyone!
**[21:19] ---**
He never changes, does he?
**[21:22] ---**
Aww, did he abandon you? You poor thing.
**[21:25] ---**
He abandoned you, too!
**[21:26] ---**
I guess we're a pair of abandoned sisters, then.
**[21:29] ---**
Imagine that!
**[21:30] ---**
Eww, that's horrible for one,
and also just gross and wrong!
**[21:35] ---**
I'm gonna find that geezer some day
and send him off to hell.
**[21:38] ---**
Then we'll be even.
**[21:43] ---**
What do you fly for, Naomi?
**[21:46] ---**
Feels good, right? Being up there.
**[21:48] ---**
Do you need more reason than that?
**[21:52] ---**
I love anything that feels good!

**[00:01] ---**
My good people, I am forever grateful that
you have assembled before me here this day.
**[00:07] ---**
Why, you may ask? Because you have chosen
to gracefully share in our peace and happiness!
**[00:13] ---**
But let us not forget!
**[00:15] ---**
This world is full of miscreants
who would seek to stop us!
**[00:18] ---**
The hole is what once brought us the Yufang!
**[00:22] ---**
It brought us prosperity!
**[00:24] ---**
It brought airplanes, anti-air artillery, Yufang liquor,
curry and rice, and even pancakes!
**[00:34] ---**
But our enemies now wish to take
its blessings for themselves!
**[00:38] ---**
These heinous criminals spare
no thought for anyone but themselves!
**[00:43] ---**
These criminals are the people of Rahama!
**[00:45] ---**
They tried to keep our long awaited new hole
all to themselves, but failed!
**[00:49] ---**
And just like that it was gone once again.
**[00:52] ---**
We of the Brotherhood of Freedom Union will not
forgive any who side with Rahama or Porokka!
**[00:57] ---**
We must not allow these criminals to
**[01:00] ---**
keep to themselves, stealing away
the wonders of the holes from us!
**[01:04] ---**
The Brotherhood of Freedom Union
is the only path to world peace!
**[01:07] ---**
Because only the Brotherhood of Freedom Union
has the power to make it a reality!
**[01:10] ---**
The Brotherhood of Freedom Union is the best!
**[01:15] ---**
That damn Isao!
**[01:16] ---**
How could he do this?
**[01:17] ---**
How could he set our beloved Porokka ablaze?!
**[01:20] ---**
Mr. Gaudreau, please settle down.
You'll only bring your blood pressure up.
**[01:24] ---**
Blood pressure be damned!
**[01:25] ---**
It's these Ikesuka bastards
we need to worry about!
**[01:30] ---**
Mr. Gaudreau...
**[01:32] ---**
Get in touch with Shouto!
**[01:34] ---**
And that haughty gal from Gadoll, too!
**[01:48] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[01:55] ---**
Flying through the mesh of clouds
**[01:58] ---**
Our dancing wings wrap up in the wind
**[02:02] ---**
Stars fall right before our eyes
**[02:11] ---**
The blue of all blues that drew us in
**[02:15] ---**
We kicked up off the blurring ground
**[02:18] ---**
Let me hear the sound of the sky you know
**[02:25] ---**
Take flight make gravity your ally
**[02:32] ---**
One more time, however many
times, laughing all along
**[02:39] ---**
We would never look back when we fly
**[02:46] ---**
An everlasting dream we
live in pursuit of tomorrow
**[02:51] ---**
Amid rising despair I locked away my love
**[02:54] ---**
I hate my weak self
**[02:57] ---**
Here and now passes by as
we head towards the future
**[03:06] ---**
Duel in Ikesuka
**[03:07] ---**
He goes around preaching of brotherhood this and freedom that,
**[03:10] ---**
but it's all just fancy talk.
**[03:12] ---**
All he's after is consolidating
all power into his own hands!
**[03:16] ---**
How can they not see that?
**[03:17] ---**
That's what we're here for, isn't it?
**[03:19] ---**
You'd better believe it!
**[03:20] ---**
Damned if I'll ever let
Isao tell me what to do!
**[03:22] ---**
If he did take control,
the world would be as good as finished.
**[03:25] ---**
Ijitsu would be split into three classes.
**[03:27] ---**
Isao, his followers, and...
**[03:31] ---**
His slaves.
**[03:35] ---**
This is the Ofukouyama squad.
**[03:36] ---**
We've reached the target airspace.
**[03:43] ---**
All right! We've got eyes on
the Union air force! On our ten!
**[03:46] ---**
Looks like roughly a hundred fighters.
**[03:48] ---**
That's fewer than intel reported.
**[03:50] ---**
Another hundred or so, on our one o'clock.
**[03:52] ---**
That puts them at around two hundred...
**[03:54] ---**
Okay everyone, are you ready for this?
**[03:56] ---**
You bet!
**[03:57] ---**
You'll be safe with me
covering you, captain Naomi!
**[04:00] ---**
Yeah, no thanks.
**[04:01] ---**
What?! Come on! Don't be like that, captain!
**[04:05] ---**
I'm Adolfo Yamada, of THE Nazarin--
**[04:08] ---**
Camilla, you know what our job is
and what we're here to do, right?
**[04:11] ---**
Don't you go chasing any of them down!
**[04:13] ---**
Of course! A grudge is a grudge!
**[04:15] ---**
Gotta stay calm, cool and collected!
Gotta riddle them with holes!
**[04:18] ---**
More importantly you gotta stay alive.
**[04:20] ---**
Exactly.
**[04:20] ---**
Now all fighters, prepare to engage!
**[04:22] ---**
The Ofukouyama squad has
moved to engage the enemy.
**[04:25] ---**
Good! Good, good, good!
They fell for it, then.
**[04:28] ---**
Those idiots from Ikesuka and the Union
just threw two hundred fighters at a decoy!
**[04:32] ---**
That's gotta be nearly all their aircraft.
**[04:34] ---**
Don't let your guard down yet.
**[04:35] ---**
They might still have more
firepower than we know.
**[04:38] ---**
C'mon now Julia, that doesn't sound like you.
**[04:40] ---**
Overthinking things will
just make you a coward!
**[04:43] ---**
We've got all the intel we need right here.
**[04:46] ---**
Right, my faithful assistant, you?
**[04:48] ---**
Oh yes. According to my sources there
is no reason to doubt any of this.
**[04:54] ---**
Well there you have it!
**[04:56] ---**
We're gonna wipe 'em all
out! Now let's move out!
**[04:59] ---**
What is it with men like that who think shouting
their orders will make any difference?
**[05:02] ---**
I bet he thinks the louder he shouts
the more power he wields.
**[05:05] ---**
What an ingrate.
**[05:07] ---**
Now now, girls. Let's curb
the slander, shall we?
**[05:09] ---**
No, feel free. They're entirely
right about Gaudreau there.
**[05:13] ---**
But everything comes in
handy when used properly.
**[05:17] ---**
And right know Porokka's military force
is just what we need.
**[05:19] ---**
You seem pretty confident about all this.
**[05:21] ---**
Of course.
**[05:22] ---**
We might be a rag tag assortment,
but we have them beat in sheer numbers.
**[05:26] ---**
This is anyone's battle.
**[05:27] ---**
I prefer to stay away from gambling
when I'm just as likely to lose as win.
**[05:31] ---**
But if we pass up this opportunity,
our chances of winning only go down from here.
**[05:34] ---**
So this is really our only chance, then.
**[05:37] ---**
Exactly!
**[05:38] ---**
I sure hope Miki made it
safely out of Porokka.
**[05:41] ---**
I haven't heard word from
her, and I'm so worried...
**[05:45] ---**
Why would she get in touch with you?
**[05:47] ---**
Why? I thought the madame sorted things out?
**[05:49] ---**
More like smoothed them over.
She never said she'd speak with you again.
**[05:52] ---**
I'm sure you've guessed as much,
but we don't have any time to waste.
**[05:55] ---**
First we need to hit the factories
producing those bombers!
**[05:57] ---**
Right, and those would be where...?
**[06:00] ---**
Oh, yeah. Right there.
**[06:02] ---**
Our target is 25 kilometers
southwest of central Ikesuka.
**[06:05] ---**
The Fugaku construction assembly plant!
**[06:07] ---**
Wind speeds are at 17 khrill,
blowing in at 90 degrees.
**[06:09] ---**
First Officer, your orders, sir!
**[06:13] ---**
Move the bridge upwind! All
engines, full speed ahead!
**[06:16] ---**
On our twenty!
**[06:18] ---**
Releasing the hatch! All
fighters, prepare for takeoff!
**[06:24] ---**
Hey, so uhh, I don't really get what's going on here.
Isn't this kind of a cheap move?
**[06:28] ---**
Well we drew out their
**[06:29] ---**
main forces so we can close
in on their facilities, so you might say that.
**[06:32] ---**
Diversions are perfectly
acceptable military tactics.
**[06:36] ---**
I hate these missions, though.
It's such a pain when we can't just fly however we want!
**[06:40] ---**
I know what you mean, but I think we'd best avoid
being hasty and try and talk this all out.
**[06:46] ---**
I would have to disagree.
**[06:48] ---**
Oh my, and why's that?
**[06:49] ---**
Reona seems to be forgetting that there
are some people you just cannot reason with.
**[06:53] ---**
The more trust you put in someone,
the weaker you are when facing them.
**[06:57] ---**
That may be, but her word
is still good by me.
**[07:00] ---**
Right or wrong.
**[07:02] ---**
That's nonsensical.
**[07:03] ---**
Where do you stand, Kate?
Good or bad? Do it or don't?
**[07:06] ---**
There are things I wish to clear up.
**[07:08] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[07:09] ---**
This mission is my chance to clear up
things I wish to make clear.
**[07:11] ---**
What does that even mean?
**[07:31] ---**
Kylie, quit lagging behind!
**[07:32] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[07:34] ---**
You're flying too low, too.
**[07:35] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[07:36] ---**
How can you be so lax?
**[07:39] ---**
Kylie has seemed out of
it for a while now, huh?
**[07:41] ---**
Know what? I bet she's just scared!
**[07:43] ---**
Nope. I was just thinking about what
we're actually supposed to be doing out here.
**[07:48] ---**
At a time like this?
**[07:49] ---**
We're defending the Hagoromo
and attacking Ikesuka.
**[07:52] ---**
Defending the Hagoromo I can understand,
but why are we attacking Ikesuka, again?
**[07:57] ---**
Kylie! Were you in some other realm of existence
during our briefing or something?
**[08:00] ---**
No, I was listening.
But none of it really made sense to me.
**[08:05] ---**
So a hole almost opened over Rahama, right?
**[08:08] ---**
Then Isao showed up?
**[08:10] ---**
And then Julia formed some kind of alliance.
**[08:12] ---**
I get all that.
**[08:15] ---**
But then what?
**[08:17] ---**
What are we doing here?
**[08:20] ---**
Are wars supposed to just be
fought on a whim like this?
**[08:25] ---**
Is that what the KOTOBUKI Corps stands for?
**[08:29] ---**
Orders are orders. And things
are already in motion.
**[08:32] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[09:00] ---**
I figured this lot was just a bunch of rag tag pilots,
but they're better than I thought!
**[09:04] ---**
Don't forget! This is for Shouto!
**[09:06] ---**
For the theater they leveled on First Avenue!
**[09:08] ---**
For the bakery and the Takochu Park, too!
Let them have it!
**[09:28] ---**
Got ya--
**[09:30] ---**
My lady! I, the world's dandiest man,
am here by your side! Fear not!
**[09:33] ---**
Whaddya think you're doing,
eggplant for brains?!
**[09:36] ---**
When I'm maneuvering behind an enemy fighter you
should be making sure they can't pull away!
**[09:40] ---**
W-well how am I supposed to know that?
**[09:41] ---**
If you have to ask, then quit talking yourself up!
You're just wasting your breath!
**[09:45] ---**
My lady, look out!
**[09:46] ---**
Captain Naomi, on your five!
**[09:54] ---**
What are you even out here for?
**[09:55] ---**
If you're just gonna float around
up here, then quit wasting gasoline!
**[09:58] ---**
I was trying to warn you...
**[09:59] ---**
If you can't even cover me
then you're good for nothing!
**[10:11] ---**
Stay out of my line of sight, fish face!
**[10:13] ---**
Sorry...
**[10:31] ---**
Pummel that factory,
and we'll really curb the Union's firepower!
**[10:41] ---**
Those big planes from the
other day aren't here, huh?
**[10:43] ---**
The Fugaku?
**[10:44] ---**
Yeah, those!
**[10:45] ---**
Perhaps the bombers we saw
the other day were their whole fleet?
**[10:47] ---**
That still doesn't explain why this place seems
deserted.
**[10:49] ---**
You'd figure they'd leave behind at least enough
people to defend the place.
**[10:54] ---**
We're blowing this place up?
**[10:55] ---**
Don't sweat the details. Light the place up!
**[10:58] ---**
Where's our welcoming committee?
**[11:00] ---**
There's no sight of 'em here.
I bet they all ran away scared of us!
**[11:04] ---**
Madame! Councilor Julia!
**[11:19] ---**
It was a trap?!
**[11:19] ---**
I count 200- No, wait...
**[11:21] ---**
That's impossible!
They don't have those sort of numbers!
**[11:24] ---**
What happened to that
perfect intel of yours?!
**[11:27] ---**
Gaudreau, sir, it would seem despite
all unlikelihood that you were wrong.
**[11:30] ---**
I was what, now?!
**[11:31] ---**
I believe it is about time
I make a career change.
**[11:31] ---**
RESIGNATION
**[11:33] ---**
The pleasure has been all mine!
**[11:36] ---**
Are you telling me you were a double agent?!
**[11:38] ---**
You have my best wishes!
**[12:07] ---**
Send the order to retreat.
**[12:09] ---**
If we don't do so this instant,
**[12:10] ---**
our fifty-fifty chance
will quickly become much more of a gamble.
**[12:12] ---**
We can't!
**[12:13] ---**
Julia, it would seem we made light of Isao.
**[12:17] ---**
We've lost.
**[12:21] ---**
Full retreat!
**[12:22] ---**
Turn us around!
**[12:23] ---**
Turning now!
**[12:25] ---**
Bearing 180!
**[12:26] ---**
Alert the decoy squad!
**[12:27] ---**
Roger!
**[12:28] ---**
Gaudreau, it's Julia.
The Hagoromo is retreating. You'd best as well.
**[12:33] ---**
Retreat isn't even on the table for us!
**[12:37] ---**
You'll be wiped out at this rate!
**[12:38] ---**
It's talk like that that's
gonna cost us this battle!
**[12:40] ---**
We can still win!
**[12:42] ---**
And so the tricksters
have become the tricked.
**[12:45] ---**
Do you have any other
options or back up plans?
**[12:47] ---**
Not really, no!
**[12:49] ---**
But this is just too cruel...
**[12:50] ---**
Why don't you call that ex-wife of yours?
She might even worry about you, now.
**[12:55] ---**
Even now, it's only a "might"?
**[12:57] ---**
Come on! Go away!
**[13:00] ---**
Whew!
**[13:01] ---**
Thank you, Naomi!
**[13:03] ---**
How do they expect us to
retreat from all this?!
**[13:07] ---**
Well, we can't just have you running off
without paying for what you've done.
**[13:11] ---**
This time it's our turn!
**[13:13] ---**
I would appreciate it if you would
stick around with us just a tad longer.
**[13:20] ---**
Hmph, fine then.
**[13:21] ---**
Those Type 5's aren't half bad, huh?
**[13:26] ---**
I sure love these near death battles!
**[13:28] ---**
You two bastards better keep up!
**[13:31] ---**
What?!
**[13:31] ---**
Aren't we retreating?
**[13:32] ---**
That one there's all yours!
**[13:33] ---**
All my- What?!
**[13:46] ---**
Engines 21 and 23 have been knocked out!
**[13:50] ---**
Engine 12 has been knocked clean off!
**[13:51] ---**
We can't go at 'em like this!
**[13:52] ---**
Fires have broken out in hangars 1 and 2!
**[13:54] ---**
You have to retreat!
**[13:55] ---**
So much for your day of dominance, huh?!
**[13:58] ---**
I never claimed such to begin with!
**[14:04] ---**
Dammit! How am I supposed to face up to Chika
if I can't even put her teachings to work here?!
**[14:07] ---**
Keep your wits about you, Tokiwagi!
**[14:09] ---**
Don't take this too far!
We need to focus on each of them, one by one!
**[14:11] ---**
You ain't gotta tell me!
**[14:14] ---**
Rahama still has its secret weapon!
**[14:16] ---**
And it's time you had a taste of it!
**[14:18] ---**
Fires have broken out in block 13!
We can't put these out!
**[14:21] ---**
Keep at it! The enemy's falling back!
**[14:24] ---**
All we gotta do is push
through this, and we win!
**[14:35] ---**
Are you seeing this?
Something just went down!
**[14:37] ---**
The Hagoromo?!
**[14:38] ---**
It appears to be the Porokka flagship.
**[14:39] ---**
How could this be?
**[14:40] ---**
Reona...
**[14:41] ---**
We retreat!
**[14:42] ---**
Fall back and protect the Hagoromo!
**[14:43] ---**
Got it!
**[14:51] ---**
What the heck is that thing?!
**[14:53] ---**
Oh yeah! This is what I call a scuffle!
**[14:55] ---**
May the last plane flying win!
**[14:58] ---**
Oh, this is so exciting!
**[15:09] ---**
Isao, sir, please fall back.
**[15:11] ---**
There is no need for you to fly
head-first into this conflict.
**[15:13] ---**
How did that saying go again?
That old Yufang one...
**[15:17] ---**
What?
**[15:17] ---**
Oh yeah!
**[15:18] ---**
The real fool's the fool that
doesn't fool around at all!
**[15:43] ---**
Zara, will you fly with me?
**[15:46] ---**
I'm with you.
**[15:51] ---**
I assume that's you,
Brotherhood of Freedom Union Chairman, Isao!
**[15:53] ---**
Huh?
**[15:54] ---**
I'm Reona, captain of the Ouni Company's
KOTOBUKI Corps from Rahama!
**[15:59] ---**
When I was still a fresh pilot,
you once saved my life.
**[16:03] ---**
I just want to talk with you!
**[16:05] ---**
Uhh, talk about what, exactly?
I don't like talking about complicated stuff!
**[16:10] ---**
I don't want to have to
fight any pointless battles.
**[16:12] ---**
I'm sure neither of us wish to see
the loss of any more lives!
**[16:14] ---**
That's true.
**[16:16] ---**
If you issue the order,
our side will surely agree to a ceasefire.
**[16:19] ---**
I'll do what I can to make sure of it!
**[16:21] ---**
Yes, yes, and then?
**[16:22] ---**
Please allow us to retreat!
**[16:32] ---**
Sure.
**[16:34] ---**
I knew you were not the person
everyone says you are!
**[16:43] ---**
Just kidding!
**[16:44] ---**
Reona!
**[16:51] ---**
I told you I don't like getting
all caught up in complicated stuff!
**[16:57] ---**
How dare you do that to her!
**[17:09] ---**
Well, lookie here, another new face!
**[17:11] ---**
Hi there, newbie!
**[17:13] ---**
I'm no newbie, I'm Kylie!
**[17:15] ---**
We met in Areshima!
**[17:16] ---**
And back with that fish, too!
**[17:18] ---**
We did?
**[17:19] ---**
You know, I think I do remember
that mark on your tail, there.
**[17:23] ---**
But I don't remember you being
a girl. Or young, either!
**[17:26] ---**
What?!
**[17:26] ---**
It was just some old fool who got left behind
when the Yufang disappeared from Ijitsu.
**[17:31] ---**
A real stubborn guy.
**[17:33] ---**
Indeed. A mulish man stuck in his old ways.
**[17:36] ---**
We call them them the Yufang here, but they call
themselves the Japanese Army, you know!
**[17:42] ---**
Yes, indeed. Not the
Yufang, but the Japanese.
**[17:44] ---**
Apparently that guy was some
sorta "mill-ee-terry" engineer or something.
**[17:47] ---**
But no matter how many times we talked,
he'd never listen to what we told him.
**[17:49] ---**
ALTITUDE
**[17:51] ---**
OIL PRESSURE
FUEL PRESSURE
**[17:51] ---**
He even tried fleeing.
**[17:54] ---**
Ol' Sab...!
**[17:55] ---**
Maybe he just didn't like to fight?
**[17:57] ---**
Despised it, I'm sure.
**[17:59] ---**
Who knows, though?
**[18:00] ---**
Indeed, we have no way of knowing now.
**[18:04] ---**
Nope!
**[18:06] ---**
'Cause he was such a pain
that we shot him down!
**[18:09] ---**
Stinks to be him, huh?
**[18:10] ---**
Abandoned by the Yufang only to be shot down by me.
Not a happy ending!
**[18:14] ---**
I wonder what he's up to now?
**[18:16] ---**
Probably rotting away somewhere
out in the wastelands.
**[18:20] ---**
You miserable stinkin' buttface!
**[18:24] ---**
Lemme tell you about Ol' Sab!
**[18:26] ---**
Huh? What? What's the matter?
**[18:28] ---**
Ol' Sab!
**[18:30] ---**
He hated people like you!
**[18:40] ---**
We can shoot down one after another,
but there's no end!
**[18:42] ---**
Chika, on your two o'clock!
**[18:43] ---**
Above you!
**[18:54] ---**
They've just got far
stronger engines onboard!
**[18:56] ---**
What are we gonna do?
**[19:03] ---**
Chika, here they come! Get ready to evade!
**[19:04] ---**
Gotcha!
**[19:20] ---**
We got them!
**[19:33] ---**
Chika! That was excellent!
**[19:34] ---**
Yikes! People can see my
underwear from down there!
**[19:37] ---**
I'll be right down to pick
you up. You just sit tight.
**[19:43] ---**
Engines 2, 4, and 6 are down!
**[19:45] ---**
Engines 1 and 7 at 30% output!
**[19:47] ---**
This is bad. Real bad!
**[19:49] ---**
Then why do you look so excited?
**[19:52] ---**
I was just thinking how I feel so alive!
**[19:54] ---**
I suppose you won't really
"feel" it when we're dead.
**[19:55] ---**
Helium leaks in sections
2 and 4 cannot be stopped!
**[19:58] ---**
We'll need to abandon the
ballast on the bow to realign!
**[20:01] ---**
They really won't make this
easy for us, will they?
**[20:04] ---**
Mayor!
**[20:04] ---**
Coming, coming!
**[20:05] ---**
Enemy formation coming in on our nine!
**[20:07] ---**
All right, all right!
I can't handle them all with this thing, you know!
**[20:19] ---**
I'm done for!
**[20:23] ---**
Mind if we join you, then?
In this big gamble, I mean big opportunity here?!
**[20:28] ---**
Who's that?
**[20:29] ---**
Who is that?
**[20:29] ---**
Who are you?
**[20:30] ---**
The CEO and big boss of
Elite Industries, Torihei!
**[20:34] ---**
Here they come!
**[20:43] ---**
Seriously though, what?
**[20:52] ---**
Aw, here I was thinking maybe he'd taught you
a thing or two, but I guess not, huh?
**[20:56] ---**
That old man wasn't good for much,
but he was great in the cockpit
**[20:58] ---**
of his Zero there, at least.
**[21:01] ---**
He flew it like a hawk!
**[21:15] ---**
Buh-bye, now.
**[21:20] ---**
Will we meet again?
**[21:23] ---**
Nope, I doubt it!
**[21:28] ---**
Carelessness is your worst enemy.
**[21:30] ---**
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind...
**[21:32] ---**
There's something I want to ask you.
**[21:34] ---**
Are you the one who shot Allen down?
**[21:36] ---**
I sure am.
**[21:46] ---**
I wanted to try and soar through that sky
**[21:50] ---**
So I wished upon the winds right before me
**[21:54] ---**
Our aspirations build us scenery
**[21:58] ---**
I wonder how that wind is now
**[22:06] ---**
Why do we fight, I wonder
**[22:11] ---**
What is our purpose here?
**[22:15] ---**
I asked, but the skies do not answer
**[22:24] ---**
We all have wings
**[22:30] ---**
Far away at the end of all lament
**[22:35] ---**
The stories we found
**[22:39] ---**
No one can steal these skies away
**[22:47] ---**
We will soar unafraid of anything
**[22:52] ---**
Because happiness is right here
**[23:12] ---**
Come on, over here!
**[23:13] ---**
Move, move, move!
**[23:16] ---**
What's the situation?
**[23:17] ---**
Do you even need to ask?!
**[23:19] ---**
It's a load of garbage!
**[23:20] ---**
Understood.
**[23:21] ---**
Kate is returning with Kylie aboard.
**[23:24] ---**
Well I hope you're all in the
mood for a grand surprise!
**[23:27] ---**
Another hole's about to open
**[23:29] ---**
Where?
**[23:30] ---**
Right here!
**[23:31] ---**
Right above Ikesuka.
**[23:34] ---**
And you wait until now to tell us?!
**[23:35] ---**

**[00:01] ---**
KOTOBUKI of the Setting Sun
**[00:02] ---**
Quit mucking around!
**[00:04] ---**
Think of every second you waste as victory
getting a hundred times further out of reach!
**[00:07] ---**
Roger!
**[00:07] ---**
These are the last of our back up fighters,
so don't you go getting shot down!
**[00:11] ---**
It's unfortunate that things
had to work out this way.
**[00:14] ---**
Is it?
**[00:16] ---**
Loulou! There's one last
thing I want to say to you!
**[00:18] ---**
First Officer.
**[00:19] ---**
Thank you for your service.
**[00:21] ---**
I hope you will help us see
this through to the end.
**[00:24] ---**
Oh no, yeah, thanks...
**[00:27] ---**
I'll be here!
**[00:33] ---**
What are you looking at?
**[00:34] ---**
It's those long pauses of his that
make things so uncomfortable, yes?
**[00:37] ---**
You think so? I see them as
more of one of his strengths.
**[00:40] ---**
You truly are a wicked woman.
**[00:42] ---**
How rude.
**[00:44] ---**
You do this all hands off then, and let
your little minions dance around for you, don't you?
**[00:48] ---**
I simply prefer to leave
the dancing to the dancers.
**[00:54] ---**
If I were as clever as you, perhaps Gadoll
would have faced a different fate.
**[00:59] ---**
Now now Julia, let's not go talking
as if this is over already.
**[01:03] ---**
True. We still have work to do.
**[01:07] ---**
Whether this is a battle for
new beginnings or a new end, well...
**[01:09] ---**
Well, whatever happens, happens!
**[01:56] ---**
Don't you so much as flinch!
We fight to the bitter end!
**[01:58] ---**
I don't care if you're the
last man standing, you fight!
**[02:01] ---**
Naomi squadron, make your approach
from your eight o'clock.
**[02:04] ---**
Your target is Isao Tower.
**[02:15] ---**
What? We're under attack?
They don't even stand a chance. Why even bother?
**[02:19] ---**
They foolishly believe that where
there's a will, there's a way.
**[02:21] ---**
I wish they wouldn't rush
to their deaths like this.
**[02:23] ---**
If they would just submit and obey I would give them
more work than they could ever hope for!
**[02:28] ---**
I have given the evacuation orders for
the civilians and secured their safety.
**[02:33] ---**
Master Isao, you should also hurry and--
**[02:34] ---**
Boy I sure do wanna get out there and fight!
**[02:36] ---**
Repairs will still take some time.
**[02:38] ---**
Not much we can do about that, huh?
Guess we just stall for time, then?
**[02:43] ---**
Good grief.
**[02:45] ---**
I'm normally much more
suited for nonmanual labor!
**[03:02] ---**
Oh my! Anti-air towers?! We
didn't have those in Shouto.
**[03:06] ---**
Ikesuka sure is something else!
**[03:14] ---**
Air combat sure is fun, huh!
**[03:17] ---**
Can't beat the rush you get
shooting down another plane.
**[03:20] ---**
Getting shot down sure does stink, though.
**[03:23] ---**
Why do these people even bother fighting
a fight they know they can't win?
**[03:26] ---**
Are they stupid, or just obsessed?
**[03:29] ---**
Isao's forces don't seem to have spotted
the KOTOBUKI Corps yet.
**[03:32] ---**
Kylie, Chika, you two move in from
the Sugar Crystal District.
**[03:34] ---**
Emma and Kate, you push right through
the Snuggy-wuggy Swamp.
**[03:36] ---**
Zara and I will head straight for Isao Tower.
**[03:38] ---**
Reona, what do you say the
two of us just run away.
**[03:42] ---**
Why not just leave all of this behind and
live out a new life somewhere far away?
**[03:45] ---**
Somewhere you can do whatever
it is you really want to do.
**[03:48] ---**
That's out of the question.
**[03:50] ---**
We have a duty here.
**[03:52] ---**
We have no such thing.
**[03:54] ---**
There's not a single thing out here
we have any obligation to do.
**[03:58] ---**
So why don't you share some of
that burden you carry with me, sometimes?
**[04:01] ---**
I want to stay with you.
**[04:03] ---**
Zara-
**[04:04] ---**
Take a look at that! The sky's all weird!
**[04:08] ---**
It's a new hole.
**[04:09] ---**
What? Already?!
**[04:10] ---**
That's a little sooner than I
expected, and a bit off course.
**[04:13] ---**
I figured it'd be at least a short ways out.
**[04:15] ---**
But it's right above them.
**[04:17] ---**
Which means?
**[04:17] ---**
Isao has definitely noticed.
**[04:20] ---**
We have a report from the Shouto Squadron.
**[04:21] ---**
An additional thirty enemy
aircraft spotted taking off.
**[04:24] ---**
Assume these fighters are headed out
to deal with the KOTOBUKI Corps.
**[04:26] ---**
Busted, huh?
**[04:27] ---**
Just how badly do they want
this thing for themselves?
**[04:29] ---**
Less than five minutes until contact.
**[04:30] ---**
We don't stand a chance
against numbers like that.
**[04:33] ---**
Girls, I don't suppose any
of you have any suggestions?
**[04:36] ---**
Two heads are better than one.
**[04:37] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[04:38] ---**
It means if we all think together,
we might come up with a better plan.
**[04:42] ---**
Well, six heads must be way better than one,
so get ready for the best plan of all!
**[04:46] ---**
How about we focus on low, narrow spaces?
**[04:48] ---**
So we take the fight straight into the city?
**[04:50] ---**
Mhmm!
**[04:51] ---**
Our Hayabusas' strength is in their handling.
**[04:53] ---**
They're perfect for taking out
those anti-air towers, too.
**[04:56] ---**
It's time we show these fiends
that speed is not everything.
**[05:00] ---**
All right, then we take
the fight into the city!
**[05:02] ---**
The city, huh...
**[05:03] ---**
Yup, and we show them
everything we're made of.
**[05:06] ---**
Got it!
**[05:08] ---**
Zara.
**[05:09] ---**
Yeah?
**[05:10] ---**
You think things will be okay
without me pulling all the strings?
**[05:12] ---**
Of course! Why would we even be a team at all
if any of us could do this all on our own?
**[05:18] ---**
Thanks.
**[05:22] ---**
Okay girls, are you ready?
**[05:23] ---**
Yee-up!
**[05:24] ---**
Of course.
**[05:24] ---**
Absolutely!
**[05:25] ---**
I'm ready!
**[05:26] ---**
Let's do this!
**[05:27] ---**
All right!
**[05:28] ---**
Fly high, KOTOBUKI Flight Corps!
**[05:30] ---**
Yes, ma’am!
**[06:03] ---**
Flying straight down New Brotherhood Avenue
here is the shortest route to the tower.
**[06:09] ---**
All blocked off, is it? I
suppose we might have guessed.
**[06:11] ---**
We can still turn and head
straight up Trust Boulevard
**[06:13] ---**
We move on our three, then!
**[06:42] ---**
Kate!
**[06:51] ---**
This is Kate.
**[06:52] ---**
The rockets on that unidentified
craft appear to be
**[06:55] ---**
equipped with a proximity fuze. Stay alert.
**[06:57] ---**
What should we do?
**[06:58] ---**
You can't just evade, you need to circumvent them with
sweeping turns. Big ones!
**[07:00] ---**
Big ones?
**[07:01] ---**
Huge ones!
**[07:07] ---**
Proximity fuze missiles don't need to land hits
because they detonate
**[07:10] ---**
in proximity of their targets.
**[07:12] ---**
But how can they tell when they're close?
**[07:13] ---**
Via radar.
**[07:25] ---**
This is going to be a problem.
We need to split up!
**[07:27] ---**
Emma, you follow Reona and I.
**[07:29] ---**
As you wish.
**[07:42] ---**
This is Kate. I've been
downed on Hope Boulevard.
**[07:44] ---**
Copy that. We're on our way
to get you as we speak.
**[07:47] ---**
Would she even shed a tear if I died?
**[07:51] ---**
To think the day would come when
I would need to take up arms again.
**[07:55] ---**
I've heard that line more than once before.
**[07:57] ---**
Oh no, but this truly was an unexpected turn!
**[07:59] ---**
Let's just hope it's the last.
**[08:02] ---**
Though it may be the last
in more ways than one...
**[08:04] ---**
The Magnificent
KOTOBUKI
**[08:08] ---**
Loulou...
**[08:10] ---**
What the heck! Don't just barge in like that!
**[08:13] ---**
I'm going, I'm going!
**[08:19] ---**
No! Don't look!
**[08:21] ---**
People like you who incite the innocent and seek
**[08:25] ---**
to steal away what little
we have for yourselves...
**[08:29] ---**
Don't deserve to fly!
**[08:30] ---**
Isao and the air pirates are pretty
much one in the same, huh?
**[08:33] ---**
I refuse to believe your twisted lies
of peace, happiness, and prosperity!
**[09:00] ---**
It went off-
**[09:01] ---**
--on that part sticking out there!
**[09:02] ---**
Let's get rid of this jerk!
**[09:04] ---**
Okay!
**[09:15] ---**
Here we go!
**[09:16] ---**
Yup!
**[09:27] ---**
Did we get him?
**[09:28] ---**
I think so!
**[09:29] ---**
We're real aces!
**[09:31] ---**
Chika!
**[09:32] ---**
They got me!
**[09:33] ---**
Chika, are you all right?!
**[09:34] ---**
I'm good! I'll wait for
pickup here, you keep going!
**[09:37] ---**
Gah! We only had one of those
lost little fighters there!
**[09:40] ---**
When that one came through a hole
had barely even opened.
**[09:44] ---**
Don't think I don't know
you're here to block off that hole!
**[09:47] ---**
I'd say you're definitely
better off with me around.
**[09:50] ---**
I'm doing just fine right now without you.
**[09:51] ---**
I don't mean now, I'm
talking about our future!
**[09:54] ---**
Our what? Do you seriously think
you're gonna make it through this?
**[09:56] ---**
I was born to defend you.
**[09:59] ---**
You're not making a damn bit of sense!
**[10:01] ---**
I'm proposing, okay? PROPOSING!
**[10:03] ---**
I'm asking you to marry me!
**[10:04] ---**
Are you daydreaming over
there or something, buddy?
**[10:06] ---**
How about you tell me about those dreams
of yours once we survive all this?
**[10:29] ---**
Kylie, get below the bridge!
**[10:31] ---**
Oh, right!
**[10:58] ---**
I'll see you...
**[11:00] ---**
IN HELL!
**[11:25] ---**
I've been bested...
**[11:27] ---**
But I certainly feel better now!
**[11:31] ---**
It's time we settled our score!
**[11:34] ---**
You do not have what it takes.
**[11:37] ---**
Don't you dare think you can even touch her!
**[11:43] ---**
Hatokichi!
**[11:44] ---**
It's time!
**[12:21] ---**
We only have two birds left!
What kind of monsters are you?!
**[12:26] ---**
They just shot one of their own down!
**[12:27] ---**
Don't worry, I'm on your side!
**[12:29] ---**
Now, my brother!
**[12:30] ---**
Roger that!
**[12:32] ---**
Got 'em!
**[12:33] ---**
Brother!
**[12:34] ---**
They got me!
**[12:35] ---**
I can see that!
**[12:36] ---**
Air pirates? What are they doing
fighting on Ikesuka's side?
**[12:40] ---**
Don't tell me...!
**[12:41] ---**
Now then, my friends, it's
time to repay those debts!
**[12:44] ---**
Show Ikesuka and myself your thanks for all
the aid we have always smuggled your way!
**[12:48] ---**
Hey! Make sure you shoot
some down for me, too!
**[12:57] ---**
Impressive. But you are not
quite as shrewd as I am.
**[13:00] ---**
Ready the crane!
**[13:19] ---**
Ugh, you're the WORST!
**[13:32] ---**
Anna, look!
**[13:33] ---**
The hole!
**[13:36] ---**
It's time.
**[13:37] ---**
Farewell.
**[13:41] ---**
HELL SPEED
**[14:46] ---**
You're time's just about up!
**[14:48] ---**
Master Isao.
**[14:49] ---**
To our snack-time o'clock!
**[14:50] ---**
What is it?
**[14:51] ---**
It's an airship, stay alert!
**[14:53] ---**
No ordinary airship moves
at speeds like that.
**[14:56] ---**
There it goes! You better make this worth it!
**[14:58] ---**
May the fortunes of war fall in your favor.
**[14:59] ---**
Closing up a hole that big will take
more than four tons of explosives.
**[15:03] ---**
With that much it should blow in an instant.
**[15:04] ---**
So that's it then? If they
can't have it to themselves,
**[15:07] ---**
they aren't going to let anyone have it?!
**[15:09] ---**
What a stupid, dimwitted, idiotic idea!
**[15:15] ---**
I don't think so!
**[15:44] ---**
You shoot down Ol' Sab, you attack Rahama,
and you still haven't had enough, you pighead?!
**[15:48] ---**
I'm not gonna let you get away with this!
**[15:50] ---**
Can you just leave me alone already?
**[15:52] ---**
As kind as I may be, you
don't want to make me angry!
**[15:55] ---**
Kylie, you can't! You're gonna sink into
the deep, dark sea at this rate!
**[15:58] ---**
Remember the line in See the Sea!
**[15:59] ---**
Anger and hatred only harden you like stone,
**[16:03] ---**
and once a stone sinks
it never floats back up!
**[16:24] ---**
You don't fly a plane...
**[16:29] ---**
This is amazing, Ol' Sab!
**[16:43] ---**
Wait, what? What did he just say?
**[16:48] ---**
You don't fly a plane, they fly on their own.
**[16:53] ---**
All a pilot needs to do is follow its lead.
**[17:03] ---**
They fly...
**[17:04] ---**
On their own!
**[17:09] ---**
Okay! Time to finish you off!
**[17:20] ---**
If anger and hatred are what hold me down...
**[17:23] ---**
Then it's freedom that gives me wings!
**[17:25] ---**
Nobody, and none of this sky, belongs to you!
**[17:43] ---**
That's mine!
**[17:44] ---**
It's mine, all mine, and just for me!
**[17:47] ---**
It's going to be mine!
**[17:48] ---**
Mine to dominate! Mine to manage!
Mine to control! MINE!
**[17:53] ---**
It's not for anyone but me!
**[18:09] ---**
Gooo!!!
**[18:22] ---**
Hey you! Don't you dare just turn and run!
**[18:24] ---**
Do you have any idea how much time
and money we spent on you, you traitors?!
**[18:32] ---**
Was this really the right thing to do?
**[18:33] ---**
Right how?
**[18:35] ---**
Blowing up the hole like that.
**[18:37] ---**
It might have brought us all sorts of stuff.
**[18:40] ---**
And it might not have.
**[18:45] ---**
You're right, Ol' Sab.
**[18:47] ---**
I'm just gonna keep being me.
**[18:49] ---**
I did this all by my own hands,
of my own free will, after all!
**[18:54] ---**
Kylie are you there?!
Come in! Come in already!
**[18:59] ---**
I'm starving.
**[19:00] ---**
You idiot!
**[19:01] ---**
What?!
**[19:02] ---**
I can't think of a more
Kylie response than that!
**[19:05] ---**
Are you making fun of me?
After all the hard work I just did?
**[19:08] ---**
Only real idiots go around
telling people they worked hard!
**[19:11] ---**
Oh shut up, I only said it 'cause
it's not like anyone else was gonna.
**[19:13] ---**
Fine, oh yeah, you were sooo amazing.
**[19:15] ---**
Now, put some more feeling into it!
**[19:17] ---**
I can hardly hold back these
tears of joy for how you
**[19:20] ---**
rid me of those bastards that plagued me so.
**[19:24] ---**
What's with the poetry?
**[19:24] ---**
You should have rolled a bit wider, huh?
**[19:27] ---**
I miscalculated.
**[19:29] ---**
I think I'll kick off my studies of
these holes again when we get back.
**[19:31] ---**
I'll help you.
**[19:32] ---**
Maybe I'll just try and give her a call.
**[19:35] ---**
Even though the Madame couldn't
even sort things out?
**[19:36] ---**
It might work better hearing
it straight from me!
**[19:39] ---**
Feel free, then.
**[19:41] ---**
Doesn't this all feel pretty refreshing?
**[19:43] ---**
How?
**[19:44] ---**
We're free to do whatever
we want now, is what I mean.
**[19:51] ---**
Same as it's always been.
**[19:53] ---**
And same as it always will be, huh?
**[19:55] ---**
All right! I think it's time!
**[19:57] ---**
Time for what?
**[19:58] ---**
For me to step out of this Raiden
and pass it on to the next generation.
**[20:02] ---**
So I get to pilot the Raiden now?
**[20:03] ---**
In what world would that ever happen?
**[20:05] ---**
I'll make sure the First
Ave theater, the bakery,
**[20:08] ---**
Takochu Park, and the
cafeteria are all rebuilt!
**[20:12] ---**
Now then, where to go next!
**[20:14] ---**
Atazaki is a great place for a honeymoon.
**[20:16] ---**
Atazaki it is, then.
**[20:18] ---**
Well are we going to Atazaki, or not?
**[20:20] ---**
What?!
**[20:21] ---**
Do you take him for better, for worse, for richer,
for poorer, for dumb, for dumber?
**[20:28] ---**
Isn't he just gonna stick around anyway?
**[20:30] ---**
Of course I am, my lovely!
**[20:33] ---**
I'm going to buy myself a new handbag!
**[20:34] ---**
And I'm going to buy some
shiny, fancy sandals!
**[20:36] ---**
When we get back it's straight
to repairs and tuning!
**[20:38] ---**
As long as we've got the parts,
there's nothing we can't fix up.
**[20:40] ---**
You best be ready!
**[20:41] ---**
Roger!
**[20:42] ---**
As you wish!
**[20:43] ---**
The sheer number of problems
we'll have to deal with now is just dreadful.
**[20:46] ---**
Though maybe this will finally shake some
since into those fools in Gadoll.
**[20:49] ---**
What a rough life.
**[20:50] ---**
And what do you plan on doing now?
**[20:52] ---**
The same as I always have.
**[20:53] ---**
How, when you're flat out broke?
**[20:55] ---**
By doing what little I can, bit by bit.
**[20:58] ---**
I think I'll start with a
nice shower when I get home.
**[21:02] ---**
You never change.
**[21:04] ---**
This is the Ouni Company, come in.
**[21:07] ---**
It's a bright sunny day in Rahama today.
With winds blowing from the southeast at three khrill.
**[21:10] ---**
Everyone is ready and
waiting for your return.
**[21:13] ---**
We're headed for Rahama now ourselves.
**[21:16] ---**
Fly safe, everyone.
**[21:18] ---**
We'll see you in Rahama!
**[21:20] ---**
Oh, right!
**[21:21] ---**
What?
**[21:21] ---**
Does the name "KOTOBUKI" come
from the Yufang word?
**[21:24] ---**
Yeah, it means good fortune.
**[21:26] ---**
I heard it was more like
a word of congratulations.
**[21:29] ---**
And for longevity.
**[21:30] ---**
Sounds like it means all
sorts of great things.
**[21:32] ---**
Sounds like a perfect match for us.
**[21:34] ---**
I wonder if we'll still be
flying when we're all old.
**[21:39] ---**
We sure will!
**[21:42] ---**
Long ago, the world opened right up,
and lots rained down on us.
**[21:48] ---**
Some good things. Some bad things.
**[21:50] ---**
Some lovely things. Some tarnished things.
**[21:53] ---**
There was all sorts of stuff.
**[21:55] ---**
But now the world has closed up again.
**[21:59] ---**
And while we slowly lose many of the things
we have, we gain many more as well.
**[22:04] ---**
And we live on, latching on to what we have.
**[22:08] ---**
And we will continue living just this way.
**[22:19] ---**
Ano sora o jiyuu ni kakenukete mitai to
I wanted to try and soar through that sky
**[22:23] ---**
Hanasaki no kaze ni negai o noseta
So I wished upon the winds right before me
**[22:27] ---**
Akogare ga keshiki o tsukutteiku
Our aspirations build us scenery
**[22:31] ---**
Ano toki no kaze wa genki kanaa
I wonder how that wind is now
**[22:40] ---**
Nan no tame ni tatakau no kana
Why do we fight, I wonder
**[22:44] ---**
Koko ni iru riyuu wa nan darou?
What is our purpose here?
**[22:48] ---**
Toikaketa sora wa kotaenai kedo
I asked, but the skies do not answer
**[22:57] ---**
Bokura wa tsubasa o motteiru
We all have wings
**[23:04] ---**
Haruka kanata nageki no shuuchakuten
Far away at the end of all lament
**[23:08] ---**
Mitsuketa monogataritachi
The stories we found
**[23:13] ---**
Kono sora wa dare ni mo ubaenai
No one can steal these skies away
**[23:21] ---**
Boku wa kakeru nanimo kowakunai yo
We will soar unafraid of anything
**[23:25] ---**
Shiawase nara koko ni aru yo
Because happiness is right here
