Tanikaze used the high-vibration blade and he used 30 percent of his Gatling ammo.
Access Denied Top Secret Looking at the damage to the Gardes, they were in close combat? Wow! It seems the Gauna we had annihilated is still alive.
Yes.
The Gauna has regenerated its Ena.
Damage from annihilation is rapidly reversing.
So it's looking to come back.
I believe that at the rate that it's going, it will reach Sidonia in about three days.
It's only been three days since you fractured your spine, right? I think it's already healed, but they told me not to take the cast off.
It really itches.
It's Norio Kunato.
I heard that you encountered that Gauna the other day.
First Gauna Contact in a Hundred Years! I can't comment on that since it's classified information.
Oh, dear! Are you okay? Just hold on, all right? I'm going to get a doctor.
But there is a large hurdle in front of you.
And here they are, the top Garde pilots known as the "Dream Team.
" Kashiwade Aoki Mochikuni Akai Izumo Midorikawa Hinata Momose I think you know why you've been brought here.
It's been a hundred years since we last encountered the Gauna.
I'm sure you will be asked to face this in the near future.
With Akai as your captain, I'd like you all to eliminate the Gauna as quickly as possible.
Understood? Yes, sir.

However, his opponent blocks his flurry of attacks! Whoops! A good move from Kunato! Point! Winner, Kunato! Kunato's done it.
Yet another instant knock out.
Huh? Today's the day of our weekly meal, isn't it? Everyone's going to eat at the Gravity Festival.
Gravity Festival? Oh, yeah, now that you mention it Gravity Festival An Eight Hundred Year Tradition Well, I guess you can't enter the Gravity Cup in the condition you're in.
But I'm okay now.
If you're all healed up, then why don't you go check it out? Leading candidate for the 512th Gravity cup championships Received highest marks in the history of the Type 18 training device The "silver noble youth" Heir of Kunato Developments Height: 165 cm Weight: 70 kg Birthplace: No.
3 Special Residential Area Birthdate: January 15.
Departure Era 994 Assigned to: Sidonia Forces.
Pilot Training Academy Norio Kunato Pilot Training Academy 628th Generation There's a lot of good food there, you know.
What, there is? Yeah.
I'll be going, then! Let's take another look at the playback of Kunato's finishing blow! Kashiwade Aoki Koichi Tsuruuchi That cadet's got some skill.
You better not slack off, Akai.
Having younger pilots catch up to our level is a good thing.
Pilots Tsuruuchi and Aoki, your match will begin in ten minutes.
I'm off, then.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Tsuruuchi, don't get your ass kicked.
Samari, if I win, please photosynthesize with me, just the two of us.
Tsuruuchi.
Hm? Point! Aoki wins.
Aoki is in top form this year as well.
Koichi Tsuruuchi He took down the formidable Tsuruuchi with ease.
Ms.
Hiyama.
Have you seen Nagate? Oh, he went down to the festival by himself.
Oh, he did? Okay, thanks.
Gravity Cup Now, who in Sidonia is worthy enough to wield the Kabizashi? Akai's so amazing.
Aoki and Midorikawa too.
They're the best around.
No, Kunato's going to win this year.
Kunato Developments' Mark 18 is the current standard Garde model.
Its controls are advanced and more automated, but it's up to the skill of the pilot to perform complex maneuvers.
And it's said that with the Mark 18's predecessor from the last century, the Mark 17, a pilot's skills were even more apparent.
Mark 17 Garde Lunar White Model Tsugumori Specially restored lunar white edition used at the end of the Fourth Gauna War.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h And the pilot who could match up to the Gauna in the Mark 17 Tsugumori was none other than Nagate Tanikaze.
Start! Kunato goes on the offensive right from the get-go! If Tanikaze was able to enter this tournament I finally get to meet you.
You're Nagate Tanikaze, aren't you? How do you do? I'm Yuhata.
Yuhata Midorikawa.
It's very nice to meet you! Hey, Yuhata! You stay out of this.
Wait! Brother! Sorry about my sister.
Feel free to ignore her, if you like.
Tanikaze.
I'm Mochikuni Akai.
I'm a Garde pilot.
These are my squad mates: Aoki and Midorikawa.
And this is I'm Momose.
Nice to meet you.
I-I see.
Why did you want to see me? I just wanted to see what you looked like: the man who came face-to-face with a Gauna.
So how was it? What? What's your impression of your first real Gauna? I didn't really know what was happening, sir.
I was controlling the Tsugumori just like I did in the virtual training consoles.
So you're saying it felt the same as usual, then? Yeah.
When it extended its tentacles towards you, you dodged them by lunging forward, didn't you? What? Weren't you afraid? I mean, it came flying towards you like this, didn't it? Tanikaze! Are you okay? I'm sorry, Tanikaze.
It's fine.
My cast got in the way.
Although, my leg is actually fine now.
But they won't let me take it off.
Oh, th-there goes my stomach.
That's right.
You said you were hungry.
Y-yeah.
So I guess it's true that you can't photosynthesize.
Thanks, Tanikaze.
Huh? We know that you're hungry, so we can continue another time.
O-okay.
Please tell me more the next time we meet.
Sorry about this sir.
See you.
Come on, Yuhata.
You too.
What? Brother, why are you butting in? Jeez.
After all the trouble I went through to find Tanikaze You're the one who interrupted us.
Besides, what are you even doing here? The only reason those cadets were able to return with only a single casualty is because the Tsugumori was able to hold the Gauna off! How do you know that? The video from the battle wasn't ever made available to any of the cadets.
You can guess what happened just by looking at the Gardes' repair report.
Oh, so you're just guessing.
That's why I wanted to talk to Tanikaze to sort out the facts.
I wonder how Tanikaze would fight here.
Kunato delivers a devastating attack.
You're good, but Akai is forced to retreat.
Only 30 seconds left.
Will we go to overtime? You can't beat me.
Only 30 seconds left.
Will we go to overtime? Only 30 seconds left.
Will we go to overtime? Or will one of them score the winning point? What? He suddenly lunged forward? Point! That's it! Akai wins! Mochikuni Akai has done it! Cadet Kunato proved to be a formidable opponent with his fierce attacks, but Akai came out on top with a magnificent single-point win.
He successfully defended his own record That move Akai pulled Was he trying to emulate what Tanikaze did when he fought the Gauna? He successfully defended his own record That move Akai pulled Was he trying to emulate what Tanikaze did when he fought the Gauna? Teppanyaki Um, I'd like one.
Here you go.
That'll be 500 yen.
Oh, right.
Uh, um I'm buying his and one more.
Here.
Thank you! Good evening, Tanikaze.
H-Hoshijiro.
100 Sights of Sidonia: Gravity Gate District 100 Sights of Sidonia: Inside Trainee Hostels Thanks, Hoshijiro.
Don't mention it.
It looks really good.
Let's eat! Wow, this is really good! Really? Glad you like it.
I can't get enough of this! Is that the cadets' battle report? Yes.
It suggests a number of different formations for tactical combat in Gauna engagements.
Please take a look.
Interesting.
Who wrote this up? Midorikawa's younger sister.
Yuhata Midorikawa The one you've nominated to join the command division? Yes.
And she is extremely perceptive.
I feel that she could replace me with her insight into combat.
Your replacement? Yes.
Are you planning to go into combat, Seii? We've been seeing a constant decrease in pilots.
So I thought- Forget it.
That's for me to decide.
I understand.
Have there been any signs of movement from the Gauna? Yes.
It's are still heading towards Sidonia.
I fear that we won't be able to escape it.
We'll move out in two days.
Give tomorrow off to those who will be sent out to combat.
Roger.
I'll read through Yuhata Midorikawa's report as well.
Thank you, ma'am.
Hey! Dammit.
Why is he always with Hoshijiro? Get back here! Izana? Kunato? Kunato.
And who are you? Izana! Nagate.
What's the matter? Are you okay? Y-yeah.
Kunato! Don't you dare address me, you troglodytes.
Are you okay, Shinatose? Wait! Hold up! Kunato! Stop it, Kunato.
Why does he get to pilot the Tsugumori? Tanikaze.
Nagate! I'm glad you two weren't badly hurt.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Well, I should get back, then.
Take care, you two.
Oh! Um, thanks.
I'm sorry.
You got hurt because of me.
It's nothing.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I wonder how the match went.
Mochikuni Akai wins and sets a new consecutive record.
These pilots secured themselves prizes.
Kashiwade Aoki Mochikuni Akai Izumo Midorikawa Hinata Momose I should've known Akai's team would win.
These pilots secured themselves prizes.
I should've known Akai's team would win.
They're the best when it comes to team combat, too.
You mean, they're the best in Sidonia? Yeah.
Really? Yes? Hello again.
Oh! Akai! Hey.
I'm sorry to barge in on you, Tanikaze.
It's okay.
We're going to the sea tomorrow.
I was hoping you would be able to join us.
That's so cool, Nagate! What? He wants to invite you to THE SEA! Yeah, and you can come too if you'd like.
What? Do you really mean it? Thank you so much! That is SO cool! We get to go to the sea! The sea? So the sea is above us? Yeah.
A quarter of Sidonia is sea water.
A quarter of it? There's that much? And you can't go to the sea until you officially become a pilot.
Really? Welcome to the sea.
Heigus Guided Underwater Floating Tanks Thank you very much for extending an invitation to us for today.
Oh, stop.
You don't need to speak to us so formally.
I didn't think something like this would be on Sidonia.
Uh, where is everybody else? We've actually rented the whole thing out for ourselves.
To celebrate our victory.
What? Wow, it's so pretty.
Look at that, Nagate! If would've been nice if Akai and Momose could ride with us.
These submarine pods only hold four people, Nagate.
Let's give those guys some alone time.
This might be their last date, you know? Midorikawa! Sorry, sorry.
I was just kidding.
What did you mean, this could be the last? The Gauna is on the move now.
It's heading towards Sidonia.
The four of us were selected to be part of the strike team.
Hey, don't look at us like that, Shinatose.
I was just kidding.
Akai told us: "After meeting Tanikaze the other day, my nervousness disappeared.
" What? He said even the man who battled a Gauna couldn't beat an empty stomach.
Oh, well, that's That's why we'll beat that Gauna for sure.
Just you wait and see.
Y-yes, sir! Brother! Did you really go to the sea with Tanikaze? Yuhata.
Why didn't you invite me too? You're such an idiot! You aren't scared, Akai? It'll be okay.
It's just an H-2 class Gauna.
There's no way the four of us can lose.
Besides, I'm more scared of your father than of any Gauna.
Oh, please.
It would be nice if we could just get this over with already.
Yeah.
It would.
