[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
[23:26] ---

[23:33] ---
    Next time on The Magnificent KOTOBUKI,
