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
[23:26] ---
