What's wrong?
Oh, it's you Amagi. Good timing.
Akagi and Kaga are fighting again.
Oh, dear. When will they grow up?
I'm dying! I'm going to die!
Come on! How am I supposed to enjoy this?
What?!
Siren!
Oh, hey, Enterprise!
Yes...!
Okay, now it's fun!
But too bad, gotta go!
I'll be waiting for you on the final stage!
She's hitting her own ships, too...?
She got away.
You are always here for us when we are in danger.
You take far too many risks for someone who lectured against that.
I feel as though I am protected by a knight in shining armor.
Spare me. That's not my style.
We've outrun the Sakura Empire fleet.
That said, they seemed too confused to put up much of a fight.
We're close.
I have to say, it's quite a grandiose scheme.
Battles need to be dramatic.
They are the physical manifestations of will.
It is will that drives them and gives them strength.
The things you say are too sentimental and hard to understand.
She's just full of herself, that's all.
Looks like someone took a beating.
I'm not against a bit of rough play.
Let's begin. An encore of the past, or perhaps a calculation of the future.
Tick-tock, tick-tock. Rise and shine!
Dear sister...?
Akagi... Dear sister Akagi!
You're alive!
Yes. This is what the gods intend.
Look, Kaga...
This is the power of Orochi -- the power we desire.
What is this...?
It has to be a Siren attack, obviously.
But why did they hit a remote, uninhabited island?
To taunt us, perhaps? They underestimate us.
But, Your Majesty, this situation is dire.
If they use this to strike this base...
Kaboom! We won't stand a chance.
I'm not sure if this is related in any way,
but a few hours before the island vaporized,
a huge, unknown vessel departed from Sakura Empire.
Sheffy, this ship...
Yes, it matches the characteristics of the ship we saw beneath Sakura Empire.
This is Orochi ... What an enormous ship...
The Sakura Empire port was heavily damaged by Orochi .
This must be an unanticipated event, even for the Red Axis.
Perhaps the Red Axis were just being played by the Sirens, like us...
No.
We haven't done anything yet.
We haven't accomplished anything.
Enterprise...
This starts now. We're going to crush whatever it is the Sirens are plotting.
This is not an issue for just us Azur Lane.
The Orochi is a threat to all of humanity.
I've already pulled some strings.
We always cleanse off any humiliation we receive.
That is the Royal Navy way.
And the Eagle Union way is payback!
We must fight... one more time.
Didn't see that coming, did you, Eugen?
Indeed, I did not. Who would have expected Kaga to choose such a violent approach?
Are the Sirens behind this, too?
Akagi and Kaga are really with the Sirens...?
It's pretty silly how Sakura Empire didn't realize they had a spy inside.
Is it really only the Sakura Empire?
Huh?
Perhaps, in Iron Blood as well...
Or rather, there could be Siren influence in the higher echelons of all camps...
What are you thinking?
Never mind. There's no value in dwelling on that, at least for now.
What have you done, Kaga... ?
There is no excuse for this.
I was underestimating her...
I didn't think she would go this far.
What's going to happen to Kaga?
If she is in league with the Sirens, that is a serious betrayal of the Sakura Empire.
Worst case, we may need to strike her down, along with the Orochi .
N-No...
That's not right...
Yukikaze...
Ayanami, captured. Akagi, missing.
Ever since the start of this battle, only bad things have happened...
Come on! We don't know for sure yet that they betrayed us!
I understand your feelings, but...
This is wrong.
We haven't been fighting all this time to take down a friend.
Zuikaku.
We're bringing Kaga back. If she won't listen, we'll slap her and wake her up.
That's right. We're not playing along with the Siren scheme!
--Z-Zuikaku! --Whoa...
You're all grown up now. It's a bit sad to see you leave your big sister's hands.
Dear sister. What have you...?
Oh, Kaga.
Don't be so afraid.
It's fine. I'm not going anywhere.
No.
Kaga?
Who is that...
...inside my dear sister?!
You can be so difficult.
Amagi...?
Long time no see, Kaga.
No... That's not right either.
Who are you?
I am Amagi. Because that is what Akagi desires.
Are you... Orochi?
Let go of my dear sister!
Are you sure?
After all that Akagi went through to see me?
Enough treachery, fake!
But you're a fake as well.
Please take care of Akagi as well.
Amagi died, leaving Akagi behind.
Parts of Amagi were passed on to another ship.
Stop.
You know this, Kaga.
Stop...
Aircraft Carrier Kaga...
You are a ship that was retrofitted using Amagi's parts.
Akagi loved you because she saw a shadow of Amagi inside you.
But that is an illusion.
Dear sister... I...
You're not even a replacement.
You're a collection of decayed parts.
A Ship of Theseus that shall not sail...
That's what you are, Kaga.
Are you sure about this?
It seems like you hold some special meaning to the Sirens as well.
There may yet be another unimaginable trap...
Still, I must fight on.
To get to the truth, I can't turn away from the battle at hand.
Once again, I will face off against this ocean.
It was foolish of me to ask.
My duty is to see your convictions through.
I will be at your side.
It's fine.
It's fine. We can do it.
U- chan will protect us, too.
What's this? What's up?
Red Axis, maybe?
Looks like they've started the fight against the Sirens without us.
Right... Let's do this!
Leave it to me, the famous Yukikaze!
I'll bite you!
Don't go too far ahead!
What is this? What is this?!
Oh, what a cute guest. Let's run some tests and see what data I can get.
Upper-class Siren!
So many powerful-looking Sirens!
Troublesome... We can't even get close to the Orochi .
We have to do it, Shoukaku. If the path before us is blocked...
...we have to cut through with force!
Kaga...!
What... am I...
Don't worry, Akagi. Your wish has already come true.
Eternal love is right here with you.
My wish...
My love...
Dear sister Amagi, I... Sakura Empire...
You stubborn fool! Is your head completely blank like the color of your hair?!
Silence, you Amagi lackey! I can settle this right here, if you're ready for that!
Dear sister Amagi--
I told you all to get along with each other.
Fighting is no way to get along.
Come on, shake hands and be friends.
Be. Friends.
You will not harm Orochi .
Kaga...!
Why are you working with the Siren?! This is wrong!
My only wish is to make dear sister Akagi's wishes come true!
Come on! Where is your usual cool face?!
Yuudachi!
Hey! Are you okay?!
Oh, yeah, I'm good...
This isn't good.
Hey! Stay sharp!
Please get up.
Concentrate or they'll get you.
Double down!
So glad to have so many guests.
What now?
Even with our joint force, we're still quite outnumbered.
Oh, my sister, did you lose your optimism along with your breasts?
I'm going to slap you around!
I'm just joking. But you're right.
Right now would be a great time to draw a new card.
Here they come.
Reinforcements?
Who knows? Is the enemy of my enemy my friend?
I certainly hope so.
Welcome, Azur Lane. We've been waiting.
Glory to the Queen!
Enterprise.
Warriors, go forth!
We can't let Royal Navy take all the fun! Let's go, guys!
Wake up, Kaga! The Sirens are just using you!
Nothing matters.
I won't let you hurt Zuikaku.
Sis!
Oh... Nothing matters at all to me.
You're from Azur Lane...
Things do matter.
Ayanami, it's you.
Are you trying to get in the way of my dear sister and I?
No. I'm here to save everyone.
Enterprise! Look...!
Is that...
Is that Akagi?!
And that other one...
What are they doing?!
It goes without saying.
Doesn't it, Akagi?
Good, now you're...
Everything is...
You hold the future of Sakura Empire in your hands.
Everyone has to be...
...or else we can't beat the...
Yes...
Let's begin a real war.
The ripples seeing each other
Are messages exchanged with you
Connecting us across this blue ocean
Guideposts of light
Have you met someone nice?
Are your days filled with smiles?
Filling your melancholy eyes with light
When the starshine wanes in them
I'm close to you
Always by your side
you can't see the next day
I am calling out to your heart
Please stay with me
Please don't give up
Until the morning comes when we can hold hands
