Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova Cadenza-

Musashi!

Yamato.

You're being disobedient.

Therefore, I shall sink you and typify Admiralty Code alone.

I won't let you.

We're supposed to be together.

But... why?

I'm trying to free myself from this unacceptable feeling.

Just to deny this feeling,

I would destroy everything.

Stop it!

Shouzou-san...

Musashi... how could you...

Please...

Arpeggio of Blue Steel Movie - Ars Nova Cadenza

Dad?...

I'm former Japan marine force vice admiral, Chihaya Shouzou.

I'm also the leader of Fleet of Fog.

Superbattleship?!

So this is...

Please listen carefully, before it's too late.

We, Fleet of Fog, aim to resolve nature crisis caused by humanity

and uphold the balance of all existence on Earth.

Remorselessly, immature act of humanity is destroying the environment.

We restricted your marine freedom to serve it as a warning.

But you disregard the warning and fight back recklessly.

Ultimately, we have no choice but to restrict your freedom.

Now, in order to attain peace, hand over your world to us.

Then we'll spare humanity from extinction.

In other words, surrender the world to us!

Withdraw all your weapons and dissolve all country governments.

After that, you shall all live under our rule.

Based on Admiralty Code, this is the most suitable solution to current situation.

You have one week to make your decision.

Please don't disappoint us.

Gunzou?

Don't worry. Our objective won't change.

We will continue as we planned.

Then I'll find the reason behind my father's betrayal.

Let's do it.

Don't you worry.

Gunzou, I'm your ship after all.

No matter what you wish for, it's my...

it's my...

duty,...

wish...

and happiness?...

Thank you, Iona.

I don't quite understand but you're welcome.

Captain, we have been waiting

for your command.

Our goal hasn't changed.

We confront Yamato to negotiate with her.

Roger.

But before that, we need to fix your damages.

What should we do?

Let me think...

Any place to obtain nanomaterial?

I didn't want to tell anyone.

So you could recover my ship?

Okinotori Island?

So you hid some nanomaterial on that island.

This is our last and only supply.

Understand? There's nothing more.

Okay, thank you.

I must say, you sure is confident.

If only I have a ship...

Takao.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Huh?!

Here I come!

Ashigara, you forgot to knock.

Ah, my bad, my bad. Knock, knock.

All council members have arrived.

Yes.

Our 64th student council meeting begins now.

Eh, President had no choice but to use Mirror Ring System granted by Musashi.

Not half bad, I-401. Wait till you see me.

They tried to disrupt your mind, are you okay now?

Eh? Yes.

This is how Kongo lost her mind.

How scary! Did she disappear?

Yes.

President, do you need some rest to replenish equipment supply?

Do we need to call a repair vessel?

Like Akashi.

Fast battleship is far better than submarine in term of performance.

Don't you all worry.

Understood.

Kongo said the same before.

She experienced error from the very beginning.

But I'm not.

Needless to say. Hiei has no imperfection.

And Ashigara is nothing but imperfection.

So I need more war experience.

Yeah, I'm so hyped up!

President, how about our plan?

Yes, our plan won't changed.

As a student council,

we have to stop further act of I-401 before humanity surrenders.

'Wait for their surrender', right?

I never thought Admiralty Code would have such an order.

That means we need to look after entire humanity from now on.

What a pain...

Musashi's idea sure is doubtful.

Orders must be obeyed.

That is what we do.

I see.

But, that means the war has come to an end.

Isn't that boring?

Do you think they'll give up so easily?

Huh?

Humans are so troublesome, right?

They don't unite as one

And they don't act reasonably, right?

How dumb.

So our actual battle begins now.

Any objection?

Of course no!

We don't have any agenda, right?

So what's the point of our meeting?

For rebate.

Through consultation, we can explore your higher potential.

It's like a meeting of idiots.

Don't step over the line.

Earth's morals correspond to the Fog's morals.

Earth's morals corresponds to the Fog's morals.

Dismiss.

Is this necessary?

Of course. Of course.

Musashi, may I go on board?

It's about Kongo you worry about, right?

How... How do you know?

How could I not?

What should I do? Kongo is developing abnormality.

You're a kind one.

Don't you worry about her.

She's just broken.

Kongo was the most obedient to Admiralty Code compared to anyone of us.

What exactly is Admiralty Code?

Even someone like me never received a direct order from it.

Only superbattleships are allowed...

Hiei.

When you contacted I-401, you experienced error.

I was told with unfathomable concepts.

What do they mean by happiness?

A superfluous escape from impossibilities.

Escape?

Humans have strong sense of individuality

which means they're immature.

From the beginning, we don't even have such a concept.

We are the Fog.

Everything we do have been decided.

Even if you sink, nothing will change

forever and more.

But this is fine

because this is where our happiness lies.

How's it, Iori?

What?

Can we make it to our destination?

The condition is quite bad.

But just leave it to me!

We met a worse situation before, right?

And we're still alive.

An epic story of Chihaya Gunzou and his fellow friends.

Thank you.

It feels awkward.

Iori, it's all my fault.

Come on. It's not your fault.

We look after each other as a team.

Team...

Stop worrying about everything.

I will fix your engine up for sure.

Okay, thank you so much.

Gunzou too.

Don't push yourself too hard.

You're not fighting the battle alone.

Right.

Alright, now, head back to your station.

Nachi!

Quiet a bit, Ashigara.

You might disrupt my echo.

Such a mere noise won't interrupt your detection, right?

I beg you, Nachi.

We have to locate I-401 before anyone else would.

Okay. Okay.

Bearing 073, detecting graviton on low scale.

Database verification.

I-401 identity confirmed.

We did it! We are so lucky.

I would say the opposite...

Having to be with you right now...

Despite that, let's contact Myoukou and Haguro

and commence battle together.

That's not necessary. The two of us are enough.

I have been waiting for you, I-401!

Wait! Ashigara?!

You bastard, prepare to sinnkkkkkk.

Ashigara! Deploy your Klein Field!

Sigh. This is truly unlucky.
