[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
[23:26] ---
