Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova Movie 1

You can't fathom the circumstance of birth

As a worrywart, you come to this place helplessly

Across the cold blue sky, scattered fragments of sadness are floating in the air

Blue Snow

Where are you coming from, where are you disappearing to

Blue Snow

I can still gently feel

homey atmosphere in my hand

Blue Snow

Blue Snow

Arpeggio of Blue Steel Movie

My eyes reflect my deep memory as it beats soundlessly

A new dawn is awaking my endless story

My inspiration is sinking deep into my heart, losing its own way

The cycle of hope and despair continues endlessly

as enthusiasm doesn't last forever

I desire, I desire

I've got to find my devotion yet

There are those who were born perfect and unbeatable

I will crush them into pieces

I'm letting go, my forgettable past

I'll prove you wrong, with my painful past

I am moving on, it's time to fight forward

I'll show you how crazy life should be

I'll trim down my emptiness with just a single blow

I won't repeat the same mistake

To forget my pass, to surpass my current self

I'm gonna be a prodigy

Clench our pain and defy the gravity, Go!

Rock on!

Misunderstanding and conflict may arise at any moment

But love will definitely prevail

I hear the hope inside, let us pray

I see the fire ignite, let it burn

I feel the time is right, believers will be guided forever

Even if everyone throws their life away

I'll dedicate my life to you forever

Just let go, forget all the pain

Just be strong, head towards the future

Just move on, our light of hope is waiting

at our finishing line

The arpeggio lives on

As life will go on...

Nobody knows

where the roads of today will lead

Nobody hurts

in a world where the love is there

Nobody knows

where the roads of today will lead

Nobody hurts

in a world where the love is there

Just go on...

I'll show you how crazy life should be

I'll trim down my emptiness with just a single blow

I won't repeat the same mistake

To forget my pass, to surpass my current self

I'm gonna be a prodigy

Clench our pain and defy the gravity, Go!

Just go!!

So long, light of dawn

darkness, take me in soundlessly holding on

In the depths silent world, long ago

all that will remain broken heart, farewell

Memories of better days

locked within in hopes that we will remember

someday we may wake to find sunrise

Sliver sky, falls upon you and I

another hope fades away into the lonely night

when morning comes, the gentle voice will lead you

to the light

Chihaya...

The era of humanity has ended.

During the year 2039,

critical rise in sea level occurs out of humanity expectation.

As we are trying to seek out a solution,

Fleet of Fog appears and blockades our aviation-marine freedom and communication.

The origin and purpose of our enemy is unknown.

We can't even recall why we even named them "The Fleet of Fog".

Although their battleships look old-fashioned,

their weapons are far more advance than anything we have.

No matter what strategy we use,

they'll wipe us out like an ant.

Helplessly, the world starts to lose hope.

During my training at Marine Technical Academy to become a marine cadet officer someday,

I visited a top-secret military warehouse and

make the first contact with the Fog.

This is a captured Fog ship.

Although its appearance closely resembles that of a Pacific War submarine,

it is not of human origin.

An enemy of humanity...

A human.

Chihaya Gunzou...

That's also my first contact with submarine I-401.

Here I am. Now let's hear your reason for dragging me out here.

To be precise, I am the one who has been waiting.

I have been isolated from the outside world for seven years.

Seven years?

Who are you?

I obey the orders I have been given... I am a tool.

What...

What are you?

Chihaya Gunzou.

I have been ordered to obey you.

I know nothing else.

Inquiry: what is your purpose?

My purpose?

I...

I want the strength... to break the status quo.

Understood.

The 401...

This is me.

Are you with the Fog?

Yes.

The enemy?

I don't know.

I only know one thing: I must make contact with you, and obey.

That is the only order that remains in my memory.

We are weapons. We engage in battle under orders.

That is our entire existence.

That is why we desire orders.

401.

Become my ship!

Gunzou.

Board me.

A new weapon? A torpedo?

It seems they have finished analyzing the Fog's corrosive torpedo

and made further improvements.

Much of it is a black box,

but it does seem that Man could strike back if this can be mass produced.

Only if it arrives America safely.

Don't be such a downer.

The secret agreement with America was made three months ago,

after which all communications ceased that we have no idea about their current situation.

Iona, you really can't tell?

I am cut off from the fleet.

All I know is what I've been able to detect.

That's true...

And that's why you took the job, Captain?

Yeah, we're the only ones who can make this happen.

The handoff for the new weapon sample will take place at the Port of Yokosuka.

Understood.

Setting course for Yokosuka.

Let's go retrieve humanity's last hope.

I've become quite used to this embodied existence.

What a disgrace.

We are weapons.

Takao.

I see.

401 is on the move, isn't she?

Traitor, siding with the humans...

I shall reduce you to dust.

We are currently within Typhoon 11's storm zone.

Plan A involves maintaining our heading along the typhoon's path, then turning north,

avoiding detection by Takao, and entering the Port of Yokosuka.

That plan's already bust.

That leaves us with Plan B.

Leave the typhoon, circle around Takao's picket line,

and approach Yokosuka.

If she pursues us, we may arrive in Yokosuka

with Takao still hot on our heels.

That brings us to Plan C.

We defeat Takao here.

We're talking about a heavy cruiser here!

I see.

So that's the real 401.

Engage!

First, I'll drop your Klein Field to critical levels with one blow.

Gunzou.

No, it's nothing.

I won't be like Hyuga.

Depth 15.

Hurry up to the surface, 401.

Depth 10.

Approaching surface.

That's it...

Yes, that's the way...

Countdown surfacing, 3... 2... 1....

Surface.

Sidekick, hard to port!

Sidekick, hard to port!

Reverse floats! Maximum output! Crash dive!

Launch everything we've got!

Takao knows our precise location!

I missed?
