All language subtitles for the battle of jaaappaann

All aircraft in attack formation.

(April 7, 1945, Bonomisaki)

Commence bombing run.
(April 7, 1945, Bonomisaki)

Okay boys this is!
(April 7, 1945, Bonomisaki)

Bombs away!
(April 7, 1945, Bonomisaki)

Bombs away!

Right, hit the right!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Left!

Shoot!

Hey, move fast!

Hurry up!

Shoot!

I got it!

(More than 3000 crew
members dying in the battle)

(12 years ago)

In 1933

Japan was at the center
of a tumultuous era.

Tried to restore the country
that was in decline

as a result
of the Great Depression.

And the establishment of the puppet
Manchukuo was proclaimed in 1932.

Intensified the confrontation
with the European

and US' powers
who also invaded China.

Japan withdrew from the League of
Nations that year.

Japan was becoming more isolated
from the world.

THE GREAT WAR OF ARCHIMEDES

(Navy First Air Force,
Aircraft Carrier Akagi)

(Commander-in-Chief of The
Combined Fleet Yamamoto Isoroku)

Get ready to take off!

Get ready to take off!

Take off!

Take off!

That's great. It's taking off.

- It's working. It's working.
- Great.

That's great.

Rear Admiral, all the planes made
a successful flight.

The Imperial Japanese Navy
has conquered the sea and the sky.

It's a great pleasure.

I heard we're working on the world's
large warship construction.

The Imperial Navy
will become more elite.

- There's no need to build another warship.
- What?

There will soon be a time when more
aircraft carriers will be needed.

In future wars, the warships will
no longer be used.

Come in.

Excuse me.

(Major General Fujioka
Shipwright)

Fujioka, is it finished?

I want you to take a look at it.

This looks great.

There's also military equipment
for airstrikes.

I'm sure

this is definitely the new aircraft
carrier you adore.

That's a blessing, there's someone
in the Naval Shipbuilding Department

who really knows what I want.

We already withdrew from the
League of Nations.

The Army will definitely
act more boldly.

So, the war with US and
UK will also...

What do you mean?

It's just a precaution.

But,
for one in ten thousand possibilities

we have to cut some fixed
spending budgets.

But, conservatives in the selection
committee are more powerful.

It's not that easy
to change their minds.

And the tough one is still...

Yes, Major General Shimada from
the Department of Army.

Ah, Shimada...

If we get into a fight with him...

(Ministry of Navy)

I heard about that.

Please help us.

Leave it to me.

Leave it to me.
(Marshal Admiral Nagano Osami)

(Marshal Admiral Nagano Osami)

I can't let Shimada get what he wants.
(Marshal Admiral Nagano Osami)

I can't let Shimada get what he wants.

This time, a new warship will be built
to replace the old warship, Kongou.

(The First Day of New
Ship Review Conference)

At this time, you propose to build
an aircraft carrier.

- What are you thinking about, Fujioka?
- That's because...

I've said this many times.

The aircraft carrier will be the main
force in the future war.

Is this another one of your aviation
doctrines?

(Admiral Shimada Shigetaro)

But, never once it has proved successful
in an air attack, has it?

(Minister of the Navy
Osumi Mineo)

VS Admiral Mineo...

To sum it up, replacing Kongou...

with an aircraft carrier
is not an option.

I'd like you to consider the future war.

If we want to focus on the future,
the answer is clear.

It'd definitely be better to build
an aircraft carrier.

What are you talking about?

If we're going to build a new warship

the most important thing
is to build a great warship

that symbolizes The
Imperial Japanese Navy.

A huge, elegant, and powerful warship.

This is what the Combined Fleet
really needs.

Huge and elegant are no match for war.

The aircraft carrier is the key
to the future war.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Even kids know that naval battle
is artillery warfare.

This is the tradition of our Imperial Navy
since the Russo-Japanese War!

I don't think this is the time
for artillery warfare.

- So you are saying we don't need a warship?
- Yes.

We don't.

What did you say?

If we have a lot of budgets to spend

just build more aircraft carriers.

Attacking from the sky is the work
of despicable people.

It's a shame for the Imperial
Navy that I'm proud of.

The naval fleet attack
is the navy's wish.

And even if we send out hundreds
of those flimsy planes

they'll be shot down easily.

You are so outdated.

The aircraft has been evolving.

In the next five years, the way
we fight the war will change radically.

If you really want
to have a big gun battle

you can do it with the old warship.

What do you mean, you...

a navy officer insulted a ship.

Do you know what a sense of shame is?

And you have...

been such a pain in the ass since you
were in military school.

Wait up! What are you talking about?

"Since you were in military school?"

May I interrupt?

As you please, Lieutenant
General Hirayama.

(Lieutenant General of Naval
Hirayama Tadamichi)

Actually, I have a proposal for a new warship.
(Lieutenant General of Naval Hirayama Tadamichi)

I've also prepared the model
design for a new warship.

This...

This is what we wanted.

This is actually what we wanted.

This looks so great.

It's so beautiful.

It's a huge warship that suitable
for Combined Fleed's flagship.

My philosophy
is to show the majesty

and demeanor of The Imperial
Japanese Navy to the world.

So, I designed this warship.

That's great.

I'm very honored that you like it.

Minister, take a look
from a different angle.

It looks really great.

What a beautiful curve.

Let's stop enjoying the model.

That's rude.

We're now seriously
reviewing the warship.

What kind of reviewing?

The design of the warship
doesn't matter.

Our mission isn't to build
a passenger ship.

Considering the future war, we should
adopt Fujioka's design.

What are you talking about?

If there is such a magnificent warship

the sailors will surely come.

What are you talking about?

The conclusion will be released at the
decision-making meeting half a month later.

Shimada and Hirayama...

I can't believe they did such a thing.

So, what are we going to do?

This time the new warship will surely
be designed by Hirayama.

- Honestly, I really want to avoid it.
- That's for sure.

How do you expect they will
snatch this opportunity?

What do we do, Fujioka?

I think today's design is the best
design I could think of.

Do you really understand the situation?

The Minister really likes Hirayama's
warship design.

- If you can't win the best design--
- But...

I know, I know.

I'll leave it to you.

Let's get our spirits up first.

- Ma'am, ma'am!
- Coming.

- Are you calling me?
- Yeah.

I want to forget the boring world
for a while, give us some glass of wine.

Can you also get us three
pretty girls, please?

Well, that's...

What's the matter?

I'm so sorry, all the girls
are at the party.

What?

The next one is the chest.

Who first?

What do you pay a high price for
our measurements?

Will you give us kimonos?

I'm measuring because I just
want to measure it.

As long as it's beautiful

I want to measure it.

That's very sweet.

Here, excuse me.

No way!

Excuse me.

Sorry to intrude.

It's very disturbing that you've packed
all the girls by yourself.

Can we take a few?

Would you mind getting out of here?

You son of a bitch.

He is Rear Admiral Yamamoto,
watch your words.

Why should I? Besides I'm not a navy.

And I've always hated navies.

How dare you!

- So let's move on.
- Let's do it.

Okay.

Why do you hate navies?

You guys aren't beautiful at all.

That's rude!

But, why?

Do you know

Japan spends 40% of its national budget
accounts on military costs.

And it grows up every year.

Navies and plutocrats are in the league.

They keep adding military equipment
that doesn't fit them.

Therefore, ordinary people are being
trapped in poverty and suffering.

In other words, you're outraged at
the plight of the poor.

No, I don't have any interest in how
poor people live.

But, it's so out of balance, there's no
sense of beauty at all.

I don't like things that have
no sense of beauty.

- Now, throw that fan like you just did.
- Okay.

Beautiful!

Perfect trajectory!

How did you do that?

Dude, it looks like
you know magic.

This is the first time
I've seen such a thing.

It's simple.

Use math formulas to calculate
the motion trajectory of the fan.

And the initial speed of the fan
you throw out is basically the same

and then all you have to do is throw
the fan from the calculated starting point.

Because numbers never tell a lie.

- You're such a genius.
- That's impressive.

Why are you still here?

But also, I'm actually the same
as you guys.

I used to work as a tutor
at Ozaki's family.

Does the Ozaki family that you just mentioned
refer to Ozaki Shipbuilding Company?

Not only that, Ozaki's also made
me study at Imperial University.

I dropped out of the Imperial University
because I did a thing that upset him.

So, I want to run out of all the dirty
money I've made there.

That's why I'm so spendthrift.

Well, then.

It's been five minutes since you guys
came into this room.

Their prices are 2 yen 30 cents per
person for an hour.

So, five minutes cost you 19.2 cents,
and there are eight people in total.

You wasted 1 yen and 53.6 cents
of my money

that's not a small amount of money.

Would you please go back right now?

That's so fast.

Of course.

I was in the Department of Mathematics at
Imperial University until this February.

Where are the girls?

We were driven back by a cocky student.

- What? Student? - Anyway,
he's indeed an interesting guy.

The Department of Mathematics
at Imperial University.

Mathematical calculations...

and number operations.

Yamamoto, what are you thinking of?

According to today's
estimate calculation

Fujioka's design costs 93 million.

On the other side, Hirayama's design
costs 89 million.

These two projects
are equivalent to 170 billion

and 160 billion in the present
days respectively.

So, what's wrong?

What do you think of Hirayama's
design cost?

What do I think of?

Hirayama's warship design far
beyond Fujioka's in any aspect.

And they need to have
a strong-armed force.

That's not all it's gonna cost.

- Maybe they lied about the cost budget.
- That's what I also thought of.

How about this.

We calculate the cost budget of
Hirayama's design.

- Calculate?
- Yeah.

Prove that he lied about his cost budget

to impeach him.

If we could prove it,
his design won't work either.

Put forward such a ridiculous plan

that's an insult and bad behavior to
the decision-making meeting.

It's a betrayal
of the country, Japanese people

and of course the emperor, too.

If we confronted them with such
a violent manner

The Minister had to reject
Hirayama's design.

It's gonna be hurt, that's what
we really want.

Well, Fujioka, you do it.

You mean it should be me?

You're a shipwright, aren't you?

Recalculating the cost budget of Hirayama's
design is a piece of cake for you.

Let me refute that.

It's not easy to calculate the
cost budget of a warship.

Detailed design and a price-list of
all kinds of equipment are required.

And before you do that

you need the data of how many laborers
and how long the project will take.

- You need more--
- All right.

In short, you can't do it, right?

It's not only me that can't do it.

Even if you look all over Japan

you won't find the one who can calculate

the cost budget of Hayama's design
in two weeks.

It's beautiful.

Perfect proportions.

There's gotta be
some kind of secret in it.

Sure enough, this part
has a silver ratio.

Daddy?

You still see this guy?

- Get the fuck out of here!
- Get out of here.

Come here!

How can you repay
my kindness with this!

Shameless! Shameless!

I'm sorry I almost hit you on the face.

We thought you'd be
sleeping till morning.

I'm sorry.

Let's keep drinking!

Ma'am! Bring the wine in, please!

Come in.

It's Tanaka, I'm coming in.

Did you find out any information?

As you speculated

he used to be a student
at Imperial University

and he does have
a brilliant talent.

He's a high-profile young man
for the future of mathematics.

The only man who can compete
against a physicist, Hideki Yukawa.

People used to call him, a math genius.

He even ever been called that?

But he dropped
out of Imperial University.

I have already heard that.

The problem is he dropped
out of college.

He's not only lashed out at Ozaki
Shipbuilding Company.

He's going after Ozaki's daughter.

No matter how urgent this is,
bring him to the navy will...

With all due respect, I strongly object.

But, to solve the urgent problem
I don't really care that kind of thing.

They also say he had a snake
in his bosom (treacherous man).

There's a more powerful bug than a snake
that trying to eat out the navy.

I'm heading out.

Kai! You...

You, come over here!

What's going on?

What to do? What... wait...

I'm sorry I came uninvited.

Even so, what can I do?

In order to withdraw that ridiculous
shipbuilding proposal

we're going to expose the fake of cost
budget they have made up.

I'm sure you can do it with your
math calculation skills.

Pretty please.

I refuse.

I told you, didn't I? I hate navies.

Besides, it's impossible.

Why?

- I'm going to US tomorrow.
- US?

All the admissions to Princeton
University have been completed.

That's the best place
to study mathematics.

Even so, can you reconsider?

That's impossible.

It's a great opportunity for me to
come back from the dead.

I won't waste this opportunity.
So, please, go back.

Kai...

It's about the fate
of the whole country.

I'm desperate for Japan and that's
why I'm going to US.

I have no interest in what this
country will be.

Asshole, are you even a Japanese?

This radical method is useless.

I've given up on Japan, can you go back?

War will break out.

What did you just say?

I said the war will break out.

Which country is Japan going
to go to war with?

At that time, I'm afraid...

US, a place you're going to go to
will be our main enemy.

Stop saying stupid things.

Don't be silly, there's
no way you can win.

What makes you so sure?

It's more obvious than seeing the fire.

The industrial capacity, for example.

It'd about 50-1 what US has.

And the oil production is about 120-1.

Fighting a country with such a wide gap

even kids know it's impossible to win.

Numbers never tell a lie.

If you're that sure

you should know how dangerous the
warship they're trying to build is.

That's the world's largest and
strongest warship.

The ignorant people
and belligerent sailors

they have the illusion that this warship
alone will triumph over US.

We must avoid that.

That's stupid.

Will you be able to continue your
studies in US by then?

How many times do I have to refuse
before you leave this place?

I lost my fingers in the previous war.

War takes away everything.

The warship they trying to build will
definitely lead to war.

We have to stop them.

That kind of person.

We don't want him in yet.

He doesn't have the pride of
being a Japanese.

I still have hope.

I've done enough to provoke
his anger up.

Anger?

I'd like to introduce you to someone.

Kai, come in.

Excuse me.

Who is he?

He's a math student at Imperial College,
Kai Tadashi.

In the Department of Mathematics,
he is called a genius once in a century.

Although he's now my daughter's tutor

but in the future, he'll be a guy
who carries the whole of Japan.

Would you please let him sit in?

If you are a genius

please let me have your opinion.

I'd also like to have
your advice afterward.

I'll remember you.

Then, about the huge warship
we've been talking about

can we get my company involved
in the construction?

This time

I want to build the world's
largest warship.

That's good.

It must be about 300 meters long?

300 meters?

In that case, how about the cannon
set with a 50-centimeter caliber?

It will scare the shit out of both
US and UK.

You don't have to worry about
the construction cost budget.

Money, there's always a lot.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

But that cannon set with a
50-centimeter caliber

how many hits does it have?

Well...

if the enemy doesn't move

I think it can hit one out of ten.

It's just 10%?

But on the battlefield, the enemy must have
moved around, and there are waves, too.

If so, the actual hit rate would
be only about 1% or 2%.

In bad weather conditions

that's a much lower hit rate.

The efficiency of naval warfare
is not very high.

Kai!

No, I just think
it's a little ridiculous.

You kid, you know
nothing about warships.

I don't know much about warships,
but I do know numbers.

It's such a waste
to build a vase warship.

I think it would be better to quit.

Shut up!

I'll show you some respect.

Get the hell out of here!

Don't get any closer to my
daughter anymore.

Those stupid people squandered
the state's property.

The officers fight for power

the plutocrats fight to enrich
their own pockets.

Build up unnecessary warships
one after another.

The growth of the military has given people
an illusion of national strength.

So, as to publicize the national
prestige to the outside world.

If it really got that far

the war would be inevitable.

It hurts! Watch your step!

Sorry, please let me pass.

Sorry, please let me pass.

Kyoko?

Kai sensei!

What are you doing here?

I heard that you are heading to US.

It's all because of me, isn't it?

You don't have to blame yourself.

I'm the one who couldn't resist
and measured you.

That's all.

Please forgive my father.

Even if it's not now, there'll be
a chance for you two to get better--

There'll be not a chance at all.

It will only add fuel to the fire.

There's no turning back.

That's it.

Sensei!

How could it be?

It doesn't make any sense in math.

No matter what happens, going to US is
the way I should choose.

What's there to be hesitant about?

That guy.

He's really coming.

As I said yesterday

I want you to do your best to calculate
the total cost budget of the warship.

It's just...

we've only got two weeks
until the next meeting.

In two weeks?

There may be a little bit of time

but please do your best.

That's why we're looking at your
mathematical calculation skills.

As for your rank, it'll be a Major,
what do you think?

A Major?

Is he going to be an officer?

Wait a minute.

Isn't this an external mandate?

If I had to become a professional
officer, it's not the deal.

If it's a Major, I'd like to say no.

You bastard!

Do you even know the meaning
of a Major?

He let you be a Major, it's a privilege.

That kind of false reputation is just
a problem for me.

What's wrong with you?
That's a Major.

Lieutenant Tanaka.

He has no sense of military ranks.

Even so, that's too rude.

Kai.

Navy is a high-level organization.

In many cases, identity is a passport.

In military, with ranks

all of the officers in height position
get respects to speak in everything.

In that case, we're trying
to stop Hirayama's warship design.

It's going to be totally
impossible without it.

So, I'm just gonna have
to accept it, right?

Yes.

I'll send Tanaka to be your valet.

What?

He'll help you to look
after your everyday necessities

and take care of everything
about ministry matters.

Wait a minute, I will be his valet?

Yes, please do it.

No, that's...

Please take good care of me.

I'm just a Lieutenant.

Your rank is now much higher than mine.

Please don't honor me.

So, this is the navy's building.

Looks like it costs a lot of money.

Of course, it's the navy's
central authority.

You'll take control of the navy's
entire budget.

You'll be assigned to the accounting
department.

(13 days before the final
decision-making meeting)

It's Lieutenant Tanaka,
please let me in.

Come in.

So, this is you, the legendary genius.

This is the first time I meet you,
I'm Kai Tadashi.

You finally came.
I've been waiting for you.

He is Lieutenant General Nagano.

Yamamoto, this guy
is a real talent, isn't he?

Come on, have a seat.

Excuse me.

Yamamoto has told you
about our plans, right?

Yeah, I think so.

Do everything you can.

We want to prove that their cost budget
numbers are all made up.

And for that, I wouldn't mind if
you can make it up a little.

Nagano!

He's a genius math
at Imperial University.

Let him use his ability.

So, you're asking me
to do something else?

Kai, you don't have to.

Nagano!

It's just a joke to relieve tension.

You don't have to stick
to so many rules.

We've set up a special accounting
monitoring unit

and you'll be the chief of the unit.

The personal office is also ready for
you to use as you wish.

Thanks for taking care of me.

It feels he's a bit stubborn.

But it's also evidence that he's
meticulous on numbers.

I'm more interested in his math
calculation skills than his personality.

And...

Major Kai.

Salute to the Chief.

Can't you do it properly?

It seems the navies are lack
of discipline lately.

No, because his major rank has just
enlisted. Please excuse his rudeness.

The newly enlisted major?

I was appointed to become a navy major's
accountant since yesterday.

I'm Kai Tadashi.

Did they transfer you from
Department of Treasury?

It's just that you're so young
to be a Major.

The military officer ranks
are getting cheaper.

He is Lieutenant
General Hirayama,

who is competing with Major General Fujioka
for a shipbuilding proposal.

So this is the one who's going to throw
a thousand dollars into the shit hole.

By the way, you have been
warned yesterday.

Would you stop using honorific to me?

Please be considered
for my position, too.

This is such a dim
room on the north side.

Looks like I'm an uninvited guest
to this organization.

I'll take care of the hat and the belt.

1.45 x 0.85

1.241 sq.m

What's wrong?

Please don't mind I just doing my hobby.

Honorific.

Oh, I forgot again.

This matter should not be delayed,
Lieutenant Tanaka.

Show me Hirayama's design.

It's all here.

What?

Is the warship's construction
proposal this thin?

It was written by Major General Fujioka
through his memories.

It's not an official document.

The information on the new
warship construction plan

belongs to the highest military
secret, The Military Aircraft.

The information is stored directly
in the safe after the meeting.

You can't get the original document.

Then let's go and ask them, the so-called
Military Aircraft to let us check it out.

Only this information can be
provided for you.

We don't have the authority to
check the Military Aircraft.

So, you want me to figure out the total
budget with that thin sheet of paper?

Yes.

Are you serious?

What about Fujioka's?

93 million.

And Hirayama's cost
budget is 89 million.

Is there less in Hirayama's?

The Fujioka's design we support has a
standard drainage capacity of 26,000 tons.

The speed is 30 nautical miles
because it's an aircraft carrier,

so it's less weaponized.

High-powered installations
and aircraft carrier equipment,

which the account for a large
part of the budget.

In contrast, the standard drainage capacity
of Hirayama's design is 65,050 tons.

Main gun caliber 46 cm, 3 in combination,
9 in total, speed 28 knots.

It's a huge warship
far beyond Fujioka's.

So, it can't have less
budget than Fujioka's.

And to build such a warship,
the shipyard has to be expanded.

If you count these, how much
will the cost budget reach?

It's completely beyond estimate.

So, the 89 million figure
is a complete fluke?

I'm afraid so.

Do they have any plans to be so
confident to implement this project?

Or are there any other
secrets behind it?

Anyway, to figure out the exact
numbers of Hirayama's cost budget

you have to get me as much
material as you can.

I said that those kinds of documents
belong to Military Aircraft.

You can't make bricks without straw.
Let's go.

(Materials Management Room)

I told you, we don't have the authority
to access Military Aircraft.

So, what exactly are we gonna do?

Hey, wait a minute!

(The Naval Technology
Research Institute)

It's me, Shimada.
(The Naval Technology Research Institute)

(The Naval Technology
Research Institute)

It's you, what's the matter?

Someone is going to get in the way
of our construction plan.

Get in the way?

The mastermind is Nagano

but it's Yamamoto
who is pulling the strings.

In order to figure out our cost budget

they have hired a math student
at the Imperial University

to be a Major accountant.

A brash brat, Kai Tadashi.

So, it's him?

But, he's a math genius
once in a century.

On the other hand...

Isn't our cost budget a little bit
lower than Fujioka's?

If they figured it out...

Calm down, Major General Shimada.

If you want to calculate the
cost budget of a warship

just two weeks is definitely not enough.

Are you sure?

You have my word.

But, just in case

don't give any data you need for the
calculation to a guy named Kai.

Even the price of a screw can't
be disclosed to him.

I have prepared for that.

I see, just leave the rest to me.

But if we go to Yokosuka by now

we'll suppose to arrive
before nightfall.

I want to see how a real
warship looks like.

If I see it with my own eyes,
I can really realize

how much money is needed
to build a warship.

Use your own hands and eyes to feel it.

Let's get in touch with it first.

What?

That's where Nagato
(Japan's warship) anchors.

Those all are warships.

They are beautiful.

Well, the warships are really beautiful.

All right, let's get on board now.

The heck?

Are you kidding?

How can we board now?

You need to obtain prior permission.

No, I will ask for permission,
we're going to get on it.

Can't you just stop thinking about it?

It's a real warship, you can't get on
it as you want easily.

Isn't there away?

It would have been impossible without
Lieutenant General Nagano's arrangements.

I heard that Lieutenant General Nagano
and Captain Uno are very close.

Your weakness is that you don't feel like
you can do it before you even start it.

It feels even bigger when you
look it closely.

This warship...

I think we've created some kind
of sea monsters.

It's completely dark.

(The Captain of Nagato Warship
Uno Sekizo)

You can stay here tonight.

Half the crew is ashore, so there's
still room available.

Nagano specifically asked me
to treat you well.

You can do whatever you like here.

Thanks for taking care of us.

I just got a bottle of scotch whiskey,
I'll grab it.

You guys just wait here for me.

Lieutenant Tanaka, I'd like to see
the design of this ship.

Ah, that's not allowed.

Hey, don't!

There's no blueprint here.

There are hundreds of blueprints that
not usually placed on the ship.

There's always a schematic
diagram, right?

It's possible that there's
a schematic diagram

If there were one, it should
be in that closet, but...

Hey, wait!

That's in the Military Aircraft, too.

I don't think captain will
show it to us easily.

Then we're just gonna have to get
him out of this room.

What?

- The heck?
- We'll do it.

In case we spy on the Military
Aircraft without permission

we'll be suspected of espionage.

If it doesn't work out, you'll be
sent out to a military court.

We'll figure something else out.

If you were afraid of everything,
nothing could be done.

Sorry I have kept you waiting.

Let's have some drinks first.

- By the way, Lieutenant Tanaka.
- Yes?

Shouldn't you send a telegram
to Lieutenant General Nagano right now?

I'm sorry, it's my negligence.

Then, I'll arrange for someone to take
you to the telegraph room.

Captain, would you accompany me,
please?

Accompany you?

There's something...

I'd like to ask you about some matters.

Oh, I see.

Then, you can enjoy yourself here.

(General design drawings)

Got it.

Okay.

Mastering the hull
construction

and configuration of various
types of installations.

I see, this is how a warship gets built.

It's my first time
I have tasted it, though.

But I didn't expect that the authentic
scotch whiskey would be so delicious.

That's good. I'm glad you liked it.

What?

There...

What's wrong?

You've become a Major, and you should've
got to dress up like a Major.

Thank you for your advice.

What's he doing?

I think we already got
something last night.

The whole ship was clearly
shown on that sketch.

I write down as much as I could during
the time you took the captain out.

You have crossed the line.

What are you doing now?

Don't you see it? I'm
measuring this ship's size.

Measuring?

Are you trying to measure the
entire ship manually?

I've been trying to measure this ship
since yesterday, and my hands itch like hell.

The whole part of this ship?

Want to measure beautiful things,
isn't it a human instinct?

Don't you want to measure the
impulse of this ship?

Not at all.

You're such a weirdo.

Isn't there something missing
in you as a human being?

You want to measure the size of
this ship with a tape measure

I think it's impossible.

Even if it can't be measured perfectly

the thickness of steel and the number of
rivets can be counted.

In short, write down all the data
that can be measured manually first

and then we can map this
ship in numbers.

The sketch I drew yesterday and
the data we measured today.

Although the information may be a
drop in the bucket

I want to use it
to challenge the problem.

And this warship is indeed symmetrical.

As long as you measure half of it,
you can get the whole measurement.

Doing that...

is useless.

Useless or not, I want to make my own
decision after I trying it.

We have to leave this ship by evening.

There's not much time left for you.

Just call me when the time is up.

Stupid.

Now, this is all I can do.

Maybe this method is primitive
and maybe it's trivial

but there's nothing more
to be done than this.

If I wanted to do it, I had to do it
well, even a screw can't be missed.

It's almost the time
to get off the ship.

It's indeed really impossible to measure
a ship in such a short time.

Here you go.

What's this?

Here's some data that I have done
my best to measure with my steps.

One step is equivalent
to 50 centimeters.

If it can be any help, please use it.

This is such a big help.

I wanted to give you
help as much as I can.

First of all, we should draw out the
structure outline of Nagato.

What are you going to do with it?

It's said that the size
of the Hirayama's warship design

is about 1.3 times
the size of Nagato.

Use the blueprint of Nagato and add up
the size of the Hirayama's design

we'll get a rough idea of
the whole design.

Have you ever drawn the
blueprint of the ship?

How could I have ever done it?

What?

So, you still want to draw the
structure of that warship?

You'd better not be kidding.

Yes, it will be hard.

But fortunately, there's a lot of reference
books here about shipbuilding.

I've read it all last night.

This whole pile?

We don't have much time.
Let's get started.

This guy really likes to mess around.

It's a shame.

Measuring Nagato with a tape measure?

What the hell does that guy want to do?

What's his purpose in measuring
the hull of Nagato?

I heard he was a genius math
student at Imperial University.

How could he be so stupid?

As you can see, he is a fool indeed.

I'm afraid it's because

there's no access to any information and
they're being forced into a corner.

In the dilemma between expectation
and reality

he's about to collapse.

The reputation of a math genius is so
powerful but it seems he's just a freak.

But, he behaves too badly, I think we
shouldn't see down on him.

I knew that.

That's why I asked you to come here with
all your busy schedule.

I invited you over to discuss it.

Well, then.

About the previous proposal,
is that okay with you?

Well, just do as you say.

This is the first time I meet you.
I'm Lieutenant Takato.

I'm Ozaki Kyoko.

It's a gift
from Admiral Shigetaro Shimada.

Thank you.

Do you need anything else?

No, thank you for your time.

Then, I'll take my leave.

Speaking of which

your former tutor has joined navy.

Kai Tadashi.

Is there anything you'd like me
to say some words to him?

No, nothing.

Is there something
between Kyoko and Kai?

I don't know.

I brought you supper.

Thanks.

How's it going?

What, really?

Oh, my.

You've done so many.

I think you're almost done.

Ah, to be honest.

I was still dubious when you said that you
are going to draw the structure of a warship.

But I didn't expect that you have done
so many in just one day.

Tonight, we're going to reproduce
Hirayama's design based on this sketch.

It's just that there's not enough data
to figure out the total cost budget.

I'll ask Major General Fujioka to provide
us with more detailed information.

Major Kai is so desperate here.

Major General Fujioka should be willing
to break some rules for us, too.

We'd like to know further details
about Hirayama's design.

I know, but at least help us out.

No, please, just ask for us,
even if it's verbally--

Hello? Hello?

Sorry.

There seems to be no way to provide us
with more detailed information.

I knew that.

What do you mean?

If there were a layman who could figure
out the cost budget within the deadline

I don't think they'll be able to
get off the stage.

What?

Are they just trying to save
their faces?

How could that be?
It's a national matter.

It's no use saying it now.

I'll ask Commander Shigeoka to
put pressure on them.

It's useless.

They will just use the Military
Aircraft as an excuse.

Even Lieutenant General Yamamoto
can't do anything about it.

I'm ready to fight alone.

Let's recreate Hirayama's
warship design.

It looks like I'm going
to stay up all night.

Let me help you.

No, you go eat first.

Okay, I'll grab some food.

(10 days before the final
decision-making meeting)

(10 days before the final
decision-making meeting)

I'm going to get breakfast.

Okay.

What kind of guy is he?

Hey, look at that.

(Kai Tadashi is a sexual predator
he slept with Ozaki Kyoko)

What's all this?

Hey, what's up?

What the hell is going on here?

It says here why you dropped out.

Because you had an affair with
Ozaki's daughter.

It's true I'm in love with Ozaki Kyoko.

But the fornication,
adultery,

and those all nonsense
are completely false accusations.

It's all just her father's imagination.

And put pressure on the university
to drop me out.

Don't pay any attention
to this nonsense.

That's ridiculous!

In a place with a heavy responsibility
for national defense

how could such a foolish and shameless
man stir up trouble?

But now...

because of this

we are completely isolated in navy base.

What's the matter?

It always feels like this
part isn't perfect.

Let me see.

Actually, it's nothing.

I just suddenly remember the data
of the wave's swing.

It has been concerned
me all these times.

I'm sorry.

It's a blur to me.

Yes, it's hard for you.

Indeed.

Never mind.

Anyway, I'd better concentrate on finishing
the drawings of Hirayama's design.

There's enough space over
there to put this down.

Although it's still too early.

But it's better to contact Shipbuilding
Research Department.

Yes, sir.

(9 days before the final
decision-making meeting)

Have you finished?

The enemies are finally beginning
to show their true colors.

A huge warship over 260
meters in length.

Such a huge warship.

It won't be possible that it's cheaper
than an aircraft carrier.

Well, yes.

There's got to be something else.

To expose the truth

you have to go through the blueprint.

And to recalculate the warship
costs budget

we also need to calculate the purchase price
for each weapon and construction material.

And of course

the labor cost budget needs
to be calculated, too.

I need a price list of all items.

But it's hard to do.

I know, you're talking about
the Military Aircraft again, aren't you?

But I need it anyway.

Is there any way to do it?

If it's a private company

it might help us.

Private company?

The shipbuilding operation is basically
subcontracted to private companies.

If we go to them, we might find
some useful information.

Sir, just give us a few minutes.

It's about shipbuilding costs budget.

Don't ask!

- Sir, please have a moment.
- Please go back.

- Sir, please have a moment.
- Please go back.

It won't take you long.

Just a few words.

You guys are so annoying.

I said no.

Sir!

We've been warned not to tell anything.

Sir, please!

Please!

Just give us a little hint.

I need your help, please!

This is for the country.

Sir, please!

Although we've already expected
this wouldn't work out.

But I didn't expect the military to be
so heavily fortified.

It's so tough.

They must have
been pressured by Hirayama.

We have to do something quickly.

(8 days until the final
decision-making meeting)

You're Miss Ozaki Kyoko, aren't you?

Kai Tadashi wants to see you.

Sensei!

Stop calling me sensei.

I'm a navy now.

You must really hate me, don't you?

Why should I?

Because of my father, you became...

I have been playing with numbers and
math formulas on my desk.

But I realize that math has the power
to change the world.

It's all because of you that
I feel that way.

I don't hate you.

You need a price list, don't you?

Yeah, I thought maybe you
could help me.

I don't know about shipbuilding.

My father never brought home
the work-related documents.

I see.

Ah, that's okay.

It's just my selfishness
to ask you that.

I just wanted to catch the
last glimmer of hope

and use it as an excuse.

The truth is, I wanted to meet you.

I'm glad you're doing this.

I would do anything for you.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help.

I'll think of another way.

Thank you for coming to see me today.

Ah, I know.

There's someone who might be
able to help you.

He had challenged the military
headquarters and my father's methods.

As a result, he has been prohibited to
access the military.

Who's he?

He is Osato Kiyoshi.

I heard he runs a small shipyard
in Osaka.

He used to come to my house a lot.

When I was a little,
he loved me so much.

Thank you.

This could be a big breakthrough for us.

That's good.

We don't have much time.

Is it really okay to go to Osaka?

Two days are wasted just on
the round trip.

It can't be helped.

I'm afraid we can't get a price
list in Tokyo.

(7 days until the final
decision-making meeting)

It's right here.

(Osato Shipbuilding Company)

It's 6,000 yen, look at this properly.

And it's the wrong date.

Stop right there! What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's going on?

These two just barged in.

You are navy,
what's your business here?

Why are you making such a noise here?

It's urgent.

Please, forgive us for our rudeness.

You are Mr. Osato, aren't you?

Yes, I'm.

So, this is what Miss Kyoko
has told you.

Yes, she said you might
be able to help us.

So, you want to know the exact purchase
price for the warship's materials.

And the labor costs
budget of shipbuilding.

We won't divulge the source.

I'm sorry.

I've decided not to have anything to do
with the military.

Wait up, Mr. Osato!

The hopes are dashed.

But there's nothing else we can do.

In any case, we must convince him.

Mr. Osato!

What do you want?

Sir, please help us!

Sir, I've heard that you've been opposed
to the redundant munitions industries

and cut off from Ozaki's
Shipbuilding Company, that's why...

That's why I ended up like this?

I fought to death.

That's why I know how terrible
this country's military is.

It will start the war.

What did you say?

After they have finished building
that huge and magnificent warship

it would cause many unnecessary
misunderstandings

if we let them do whatever they want.

You know how this will end, don't you?

These things

have nothing to do with me.

I'm heading out.

Morning.

(6 days until the final decision-making meeting)
Morning.

(6 days until the decision-making
meeting)

Where's Mr. Osato?
(6 days until the decision-making meeting)

(6 days until the decision-making
meeting)

You two again? (6 days until
the decision-making meeting)

You two again?

Why are you two so stubborn?

He insists and doesn't
want to see you.

I advise you to give up.

Please allow us to wait here.

Give us a break.

You look crueler.

It's just a waste of time.

I'm off work first.

Thank you for your hard work.

I'm off work first.

Thank you for your hard work.

We're going to close soon.

Major Kai...

let's go back to Tokyo and think
of something else.

Just wait a little bit more.

If it goes on like this every day

it'll be too late.

It's a shame.

Let me in!

Kyoko?

I got here because I was so restless.

I feel like I might be a pain in the ass,
I hope I didn't cause you any trouble.

Sensei--

Thank you.

Having you is a million reinforcements.

My name is Ozaki Kyoko.

Please help me inform
Mr. Osato that I'm here.

I was so surprised by your presence.

I knew you won't leave if you haven't
had a talk with me.

I'm so sorry.

It's huge.

Is it a warship?

Yes, it is.

Why did the accountant like you
draw this blueprint?

And it's a sketch, not a copy.

Did you draw this?

There's only one purpose.

All I want to know is how much
this ship really costs.

Just for that?

Yes.

There are also constructs calculations.

It's a prism dispersion curve.

You even drew the hull's
distribution weight.

The buoyancy under the maximum
waterline is also being reflected.

Where did you learn how to build a ship?

By February of this year

I'm still a math student
at Imperial University.

No way.

It's true. I just started
learning to build a ship.

You drew this blueprint.

You are awesome.

If that's the case

he might be able to do
what you said.

He can change this country.

I've always had a dream.

Please tell me.

If Japan wants to dominate the world

we can't use warships, we should use
merchant ships.

In other words, to conquer the world
with trade and economy.

I got what you want to do.

Let me give you a hand.

I'm sorry to trouble you.

This is rented as a warehouse.

No one usually comes.

The destroyer (the warship's name) alone
has so many accounts.

We finally got it!

But I didn't expect that there
would be so many.

While I was still working with Ozaki's
Shipbuilding Company

I had been received orders
for various warships.

It was requested by navy.

A copy of the daily work
and delivery desk.

This ship took 600 days from the start
to the completion.

Let's not talk
about the material's cost.

Take a look at the labor cost budget.

Labor costs?

It costs so much to build a warship.

I think that warship will cost dozens
of times as much as this.

No, it would be hundreds of times.

There's no time to talk.

Quickly apply this data to
Hirayama's design.

Even if you are a genius

using these to calculate the cost
budget of Hirayama's design

it's going to take another week.

So fast.

I think we'll be here for two
or three days.

No need to worry.

I've already made a report to
Lieutenant General Nagano.

Actually, they said the estimate
cost budget of

Hirayama's warship design is 89 million.

That's bullshit, how could
it be that cheap?

As expected.

My mission is to expose this apparently
falsified shipbuilding offer.

So...

You have to figure out how much this
warship really costs, don't you?

However, even if this plan is approved

it should also cause a lot of damage to
the Ozaki Shipbuilding Company.

How exactly do you do to balance
the account funds?

I guess that's what they're doing.

They're doing the placing.

What's that mean?

Yeah, that's what I have
done all the time.

For example, while ordering warships, you
should order a few cruisers at a high price.

So, the ship losses are immediately
covered.

So, Navy and Ozaki Shipbuilding Company
will be having a closer relationship.

More new orders will be
received later.

Is my father really doing
this kind of thing?

Maybe it's a little harsh for you.

In this way, Ozaki's shipyard
grew stronger.

Excuse me, I have a telegram for
Lieutenant Tanaka.

Telegram for me?

Thanks.

It's from Lieutenant General Nagano.

Major Kai.

What's wrong?

What's it say?

It's about the final
decision-making meeting.

The date of the meeting
has been changed.

11 a.m. tomorrow?

It's not the deal!

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

What are we gonna do about that?

It will be too late.

In less than 14 hours.

It was supposed to be next week.

But why is it suddenly changed?

The enemy is disturbed by our actions
and trying to kill us first.

Which means we're doing the right thing!

Sucks! What's Lieutenant
General Nagano doing?

It's absolutely impossible to accomplish
such a large amount of work in 14 hours.

Not only that, but we also have to be
back in Tokyo by 11 o'clock tomorrow.

We have to catch
the night train tonight.

We're already out of ideas.

How could this happen?

His efforts so far...

it will be gone down the
drain, won't it?

Mr. Osato, what time is
the last train to Tokyo?

10:40 p.m.

There is one more hour.

Even if you're a math
genius, you just can't.

You have already driven into a corner.

I have an idea.

We don't have to calculate
the whole thing.

Mr. Osato!

The total amount of iron used
by the previous warships

and all the cost data.

Do you have it?

That data...

just look at the last page
of the ledger.

But what's the use of knowing that?

It works out as I expected.

What's he doing?

I have no idea.

This chart requires a second-order
differential equation at most.

Which means...

That's so fast.

But what is it?

Do you have scissors?

Here is.

Wait, what are you doing?

Major Kai, this is...

What are you doing? Stop it!

Based on this blueprint

we can calculate the total amount
of iron that Hirayama's design used.

Only the total amount of iron used?

What about all the other materials
and the labor costs?

All you have to do is know the
total amount of iron you used.

Can this alone calculate the
cost of production?

Let me explain this coordinate chart.

(13 hours until the final
decision-making meeting)

Wait a minute.
(13 hours until the final decision-making meeting)

(13 hours until the final
decision-making meeting)

I'm glad I made it.
(13 hours until the final decision-making meeting)

I'm glad I made it.

You haven't eaten since morning,
have you?

You can't fight a war with an
empty stomach.

Take this and eat it on the train.

Thank you so much.

Without your help

there's no way we can make such
progress this far.

I put a bet on you.

That's a bit much, Mr. Osato.

Please, use your math

to make this country a better place.

If you don't, I won't forgive you.

The function is done setting up.

Is it finally done?

Well, there's a little more to it.

It's almost the 38th.

I'm half done.

That's fast.

Well, I'm a businessman's daughter.

Faster! There's no time.

What's wrong?

Ah, it's okay.

I think I could really save
the country with math.

(7 hours before the final
decision-making meeting)

Tokyo!

Here we are.

Next is add up the numbers

to find out the total amount
of iron used on the ship.

But it's only an hour.

We're gonna have to give it a shot.

Major Kai, let's go
to the Admiralty first.

Okay.

Kyoko, thank you.

I'll figure out the rest.

Sensei!

I believe in you.

You're gonna make it.

What are they doing?

I don't know.

But it looks like

we better finish the meeting
before they have done it.

Time's up. Let's get
the meeting started.

(The final decision-making
meeting of the new warship)

In fact, the Army's budget
appropriations are very competitive.
(The final decision-making meeting of the new warship)

In fact, the military's budget
appropriations are very competitive.

If the budget is too high

it will be very difficult to negotiate
with the Minister of Finance.

So, today's final decision

I suggest we make a decision based on
the most appropriate amount of cost.

What do you think?

I have no objection.

Wait.

I think it's necessary
to discuss it again.

The question is which would be more
appropriate, aircraft carriers or warships?

Both plans have their viability,
it's a pretty big deal.

Nagano...

your request only makes us
think you're stalling.

All right.

That means everyone has agreed.

First of all, we'll start
with Fujioka's plan.

You applied for a revision of the plan.

It's the revised cost, isn't it?

Yes.

Try to lower the price.

Based on the proposal we submitted last
time, the cost price was 93 million

and we have cut 2
million of it this time.

It changes to 91 million.

2 million less?

Don't mention it.

It doesn't have much impact on
the outcome of this discussion.

How's it going?

How much longer will it be?

There is still seven left.

One sheet takes one minute.

It will take 10 minutes
in total to finish it.

10 minutes?

10 minutes?

10 minutes is too long.

I'll say it honestly, I think the estimated value
of Hirayama's design for drainage is too low.

If it costs 89
million to build that warship

then I'd like you to present
the detailed evidence.

I just don't understand what's
wrong with cheap offer.

The most important thing for us now is

to get the government
to approve our plan.

Which is to try to make the price of the
plan's offer as low as possible.

That's what I'm really
thinking of right now.

We are in trouble.

They've already decided
to adopt Hirayama's.

Come on! Faster!

The meeting's almost over.

Nagano, would you please
understand my difficulties?

Ah, but...

Please look at me in my face.

Minister, you go that far?

The end has been decided.

Well, considering the appropriateness
of the cost

Wait a minute.

We'll adopt Hirayama's for the new
warship to replace the old warship.

Just a moment, please!

What the hell are you doing?

You don't have the right to
interrupt the meeting!

I'll buy some more time.

You continue to finish
the calculation.

Got it.

I can figure out the real cost budget
of Hirayama's design.

What did you say?

What do you mean, real cost?

You have to make it clear!

I used the information I had.

I have found that there is a
correlation between

the total amount of iron used and
the cost of building warships.

This coordinate chart can indicate
the correlation between them.

The total amount of iron used for
torpedo boats and submarines are small.

Which means to build the smaller ships
are more complicated

and the cost of construction per ton
of iron will increase.

It's the most expensive part.

That's a submarine.

That's why submarines are
small but expensive.

On the contrary, warships use a large
amount of iron.

But warships are easier
to manufacture.

And the construction costs per ton
of iron can also be reduced.

In this way, we can know from
the coordinate chart.

The cost of making submarines
are the highest

when the amount of iron is
around 1,500 tons.

What are you talking about?

Here's the function formula to
represent this coordinate chart.

Through this formula

as long as we know the total
amount of iron used by a ship

we can calculate the actual
cost budget of that ship.

If we substitute the total amount of iron
used in Hirayama's design into this formula

we'll know the actual cost
budget of the ship--

It's so absurd.

What did you just say?

I said it was absurd.

If there were a correlation between total
iron consumption and cost budget

it's impossible to work it out without
the data of several ships.

Of course, the formula is based on
a large number of data.

Ah, a new Major accountant.

Don't you think what you're
saying is weird?

According to what I heard

you have no access to the Military
Aircraft and haven't read any materials.

Didn't you make it impossible
for me to read the data?

Don't look for any excuse that
doesn't make sense.

May I ask? You have no access
to the Military Aircraft

then, where did you get
a lot of data?

Forgive me, I can't answer that.

Just as I expected.

So, this chart and the formula
is all bullshit.

You said my formula is bullshit?

At first glance,
his formula seems credible.

And then put in the appropriate numbers
to figure out the ridiculous amount.

And claim it's the real cost budget.

We don't have to waste any more valuable
time dealing with such a crook.

Crook? You just called him a crook?

Well.

If I can prove the correctness
of this formula

you'd believe it, wouldn't you?

How do you prove it?

Just pick a random existing warship.

And tell me the total amount
of iron it used.

I can use this formula to calculate the
correct cost budget of that ship.

If you couldn't figure
it out, you're done.

By then, don't kill yourself.

- Takato!
- Yes?

Go to the ship's headquarters and
get the ship's database.

So, calculate how much it costs
to build this Chidori boat.

Okay.

The total amount of iron used is

400 tons.

400 tons.

That's 2.22 million.

How can it be possible?

Awesome!

I don't think he knows the cost budget
of that boat construction plan

but it's perfectly calculated.

Which means it proves the
correctness of the formula.

It could be a blind cat running
into a dead rat.

Okay, next is...

Cruiser Myoko.

Yes.

9,700 tons.

9,700 tons.

It's 28.16 million.

Good!

So, how much does
Hirayama's design cost?

It seems it costs 89 million.

I leave it to you.

175.64 million.

It's the correct cost budget
of Hirayama's design.

It's almost double the amount of
the cost budget submitted.

This is a serious matter.

Lying about a much lower estimate
than the actual cost.

It's a violation of this
final decision meeting.

We will not tolerate such conduct.

Lieutenant General Hirayama.

Can you explain to us

why the cost is so much lower
than the actual one?

The mystery of super low price

do you have a secret agreement with
Ozaki Shipbuilding Company?

A secret agreement?

Build cheap warships

and order cruisers at a high
price in return.

What did you say?

It's dangerous to talk like that way.

Your untruthful drivel.

It's an insult to the senior officer.

You should be sent to a military court.

Major Kai is not the kind of fool who would
make a joke at a defense conference.

He's not like you.

What did you say?

Stop it!

Everybody, please calm down.

His remarks are not appropriate
for this occasion, so...

No, Minister...

we have every reason to doubt the
existence of a private agreement.

Lieutenant General Nagano!

By this time...

even a little doubt should be
thoroughly discussed.

The actual cost budget of Hirayama's design
is much higher than the estimated amount.

It's a problem in itself.

At the same time, general Hirayama
himself doesn't give a clear answer.

If that's the case

it makes anybody wondering that
there's an undercover operation.

This has to be clear, right, Major Kai?

As you say.

How dare you say that, asshole?

If you don't give me any proof,
I won't let you go.

But we indeed ordered some cruisers
from Ozaki Shipbuilding Company.

I didn't know that.

Let me interrupt.

What it is?

Why did you conclude it was Ozaki
Shipbuilding Company?

Did you get the information from someone
that related to Ozaki family?

Who would it be?

Is it the woman that mentioned
in those anonymous letters?

You're still hooking up.

No, we're not dating.

How could you believe what you hear
from a woman on the bed?

On the bed?

Don't say such dirty words.

The one who wrote those slanderous
words was you, right?

What are you talking about?

Are you trying to frame me?

Does it mean that a senior
officer's subordinate

isn't in a relationship
with a woman?

What are you trying to say?

Do you have any secrets, Yamamoto?

But, don't you have a second
wife at Fukagawa?

I can't believe you're talking
something like that here.

I heard you knelt down after
your wife found out.

Did you get down on your knees?

Why don't you get down
on your knees?

Stop it! We're talking about
warships right now.

Back to the subject.

We must verify the cost budget
of Hirayama's design.

It's not a false number.

It's just based on speculation.

Then again, it's ridiculous that the navy's
plan is swayed by such formula.

That formula is all farce.

I don't agree with it.

Numbers never tell a lie.

Numbers are real justice.

General Hirayama must
have known it already.

I think he already knew it's going
to cost nearly 200 million.

And he changed it into
a fictitious number.

He lacks honesty as a shipwright.

So, his construction
plan is unreasonable.

Don't insult Lieutenant
General Hirayama!

He's well aware
of the irregularities but

he's still colluding with private
companies to tamper with budgets.

It'll eventually bring huge damage
to the Department of Treasury.

It's a plan to trample on justice.

It's a manifest breach of virtue.

What's wrong with that?

I said, what's wrong with that?

Did you lose face?

It's all about protecting the country.

To keep Japan alive, 100 million,
200 million is nothing.

100 million or 200 million?

It's a tax that the people pay
with sweat and blood.

Even a penny is not allowed
to be treated at will.

If there were no country, there would
be no citizen.

Fujioka's project plan won't
protect the country.

Besides, you have no right to punish me.

Even without power, it's my duty to
find out the truth.

The truth?

That sort of thing
doesn't mean anything.

You're just judging things with your
superficial sense of justice.

But it doesn't shake the real world.

Because there is pure justice.

Indeed, I rely on the assistance of
Ozaki Shipbuilding Company.

And offer a much lower cost
budget than the actual one.

So, you admit that you did cheating,
don't you?

If I didn't

we wouldn't be able to hold the secret
of the construction of a super huge warship.

Secret?

If Japan were said to spend 200 million
to build a new warship

how would the rest of the world
react to this information?

No doubt they'll
analyze the cost budget.

Predict the size and performance
of our warship.

And then, to fight against us

they're going to build a super
bigger warship.

That means to confuse the enemy

the first step is to convince us.

The construction cost budget must be
made public to confuse the enemy?

Yes, that's the point.

To surprise the enemy

let them fall into panic and lose
the will to fight in the war.

We have to build a super huge warship
in great secrecy.

That's a hell of a plan.

Fantastic!

I can't believe you
think of it this far.

Minister, please understand us.

This fake estimated cost budget is
for the good of the country.

Please understand.

I get it. I totally get it.

The idea of using the open public
warships cost to control the enemy.

Well, the new warship construction plan

will adopt Lieutenant General
Hirayama's design.

No objections, right?

I'd love to accept it.

Good! That's settled.

I really can't reconcile myself.

I was so desperate to expose
the fake cost budget.

It doesn't make any sense.

Will this super huge warship
be built in the end?

Tanaka!

Yes!

Bring me all the pieces of my drawings.

Yes!

This is the plan figure and profile of
the ship I designed.

Why do you have this?

I drew it based on Nagato's
general deck map

to speculate on your ship design.

How can a layman like you

can draw this blueprint
in a few days.

Who the hell are you?

What are you guys doing,
the meeting is already over.

It's not over yet!

There are major flaws in Lieutenant
General Hirayama's design.

What are you talking about?

How big the high wave can
your ship handle?

High wave?

In terms of the size of the typhoons
that occur ten times a year

predicting wind speeds of 40 meters per
second is generally no problem.

But in the case of low pressure

the waves from all directions
converge at once.

In this case...

The wave height may develop
beyond expectations.

So, what the hell are you going to say?

Be quiet, please!

And what's more?

If the typhoon develops to a speed
of 50 meters per second

the composite waves can be
up to 30 meters high.

The size of a typhoon that
happens twice a year.

Then there will be a huge wave
that engulfs this ship.

However, the design of this proposal
has a huge impact on this level.

There may be a lack of predictability
in the shear force generated by the hull.

What's the shear force?

It's a force that causes the hull to
snap out of shape.

Although in this scheme the ship
was covered with thick armor in the center

but because of this weight distribution

the bow and stern will be vulnerable.

When the huge waves hit this spot

the ship will crack and soak in water.

The worst-case scenario

the ship will sink.

If that were to happen, it would be
a disaster since the navy was founded.

Even though we want to resist the waves
of more than 30 meters

it's impossible to avoid
low performance.

If we just focus on assuming a wave that
happens once in hundreds of times

no warships can be built.

Whether it's hundreds or
thousands of times

it's the designer's responsibility
to prepare for it.

In fact, I've predicted a 30-meter
composite wave

to derive the formula for the
optimal solution between

the shear force and the equilibrium
distribution of weight.

Looks like I lost.

Minister, please withdraw my design.

You don't have to.

I've missed a major flaw.

As a shipwright,
my proposal makes me ashamed.

It's a stain on my life.

If you withdraw my design, it will
save my last pride.

Then I'll take my leave.

You did it.

You have mastered the
best solution formula.

Hirayama's design won't be adapted.

I think so.

So, Hirayama's design was withdrawn.

The new warship construction plan adopts
the aircraft carrier proposed by Fujioka.

What would Kai think if he
knew the truth?

It feels he's a bit stubborn.

But it's also evidence that he's
meticulous on numbers.

I'm more interested in his math
calculation skills than his personality.

And...

if he revealed that Hirayama made up
the total of cost budget

Hirayama's warship design
will be withdrawn.

And we'll get a new
large aircraft carrier.

If our goal is to make an early peace of
the war against US and UK

then the first battle is important.

I have a plan that will catch
them off guard.

Aren't you an anti-war activist?

Of course, it would be better if
we didn't start a war.

But if war is inevitable

we'll organize a task force unit to operate
the new aircraft carrier as a flagship.

And we'll destroy US flagship fleet
at the start of the war with aircraft.

Actually, we've got information
about the new strongholds in the Pacific.

Where is it?

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

If you knock this place down and shut
down the Panama Canal

the control of the Pacific Ocean
must be in our hands.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm wondering if you
were still a soldier.

(A month later)

You're finally here.

What's the matter?

I want you to see this.

This is a 20-to-1 model.

Isn't it beautiful?

I didn't call you here for
anything else.

I want you to tell me the formula.

How could I possibly tell you

If I did that...

We'll be able to complete the
design of this ship.

Then, we can overturn the decision.

That's what you truly think.

What's with that nonsense?

I've worked so hard to ruin your plan.

Bringing it back to life is
what I wanted?

Kai, be honest.

You have to make this ship.

You have created this
ship yourself.

Well, you should be tempted to
see this ship finished.

No, I shouldn't.

This ship should never have been built.

Having the strongest warship will
surely lead Japan to war.

Don't make it incite the nation to war.

A magnificent, elegant ship that
everyone is proud of.

It's just a curse for this country.

Lieutenant General Hirayama!

You must never create such
a monster like this.

Whether we build this ship or not

this country is bound to go to war.

The Eastern Army (Kanto Army)
invaded China.

Establishing a Pseudo Manchukuo
(Japan puppet state).

Withdrew from the League of Nations.

The world's hatred of Japan
is growing.

When we forced to the brink

and people had to acquiesce
in the choice of war.

Japanese people are still immersed
in the victory of the Russo-Japanese War.

This ship can't control
the current situation.

We have to take the lead.

We?

People like you and me.

You and I

just think of we're on the
same wavelength.

That's why I'm telling you this.

If we made war with US
Japan would definitely lose.

That's what you think, isn't it?

I think so, too.

The overwhelming gap in national
power is unimaginable.

Japanese people don't know how
to get defeated.

No matter how dire the situation maybe

Japanese people will fight
to the last man.

If that were the case, this country
would be truly destroyed.

But, then...

if there were a huge and magnificent
warship that symbolized Japan

What do you think?

When it sinks

can that sense of despair wake
up this country?

Does that mean you do it on purpose?

Because this warship
is beautiful and huge

people believe it will never sink.

Make people have high expectations
and drive people go crazy.

And it goes to a terrible end.

This is the mission
given to this warship.

I want to build a warship that
Japan can rely on.

Rely on?

Before this country is destroyed

this warship is going to sink into
the sea as a national perch.

So, I gave this warship a very
appropriate name.

The name of this warship is

Yamato
(One of the another name of Japan).

Yamato.

Could you tell me the formula now?

(Nine years later Two months after
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor)

Present arms!

Why are you in tears?

I...

From the hull of that warship,
I can see the epitome of Japan.

Yes, that's such a great warship.

It's a symbol of The
Great Japanese Empire.
