[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.
