Izetta: The Last Witch (終末のイゼッタ)

1939.

The Germanian Empire launched a sudden invasion of its neighbor, Livonia.

In response, the Kingdom of Britannia and the Republic of Thermidor

declared war on Germania and opened hostilities against it.

However, Germania's blitzkrieg tactics, which combined air warfare with tank combat,

brought its smaller neighbors to their knees.

And after defeating even Thermidor, which was thought to be a powerful threat,

it bared its fangs against the tiny Alpine state to its south,

the Duchy of Eylstadt.

Episode 2 Scars and Gunfire

Squad leader to all planes.

Once we pass the mountains in front of us, we'll be in Eylstadt.

Roger.

I can't believe we haven't beaten such a tiny country yet.

So much for the army and their blitzkrieg, huh?

Mayday!

Our plane suddenly... split apart!

Damn it!

Captain, 8 o' clock!

We're going to crash!

We'll check it out.

Follow me.

Princess...

It's really you.

Your power really is amazing.

You saved me.

Thank you, Izetta.

I-I'm not worthy of your gratitude!

Izetta, look in front of us!

I'm sorry!

I was so happy, I wasn't paying attention—

Princess?

Don't worry.

Compared to the worst possible outcome,

this injury is nothing.

Just wait.

I'll set us down somewhere.

Wait.

If you're going to set us down,

go over that mountain first.

There's an Eylstadtian fortress there.

Is that the enemy that downed the transport?

Captain, it looks to me like two girls flying on a rifle...

It sure does.

Hold your fire till I give the word.

Germanian fighters.

I can fight here...

Princess, this will hurt a bit. Can I ask you to endure the pain?

But you aren't supposed to use your witch's power recklessly...

I think my grandma would let me use it

to protect the things I care about.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

I'm going to disobey what you said.

Here I go.

I told you to hold your fire!

400 kilometers per hour? Monster!

Don't be so hotblooded, you whelps!

Are you okay, Princess?

When I saw you flying all those years ago,

I wanted to fly with you someday...

I never thought that wish would come true like this.

Her breath is really hot.

Come out!

Hermann!

What the hell?

It's like...

You idiot! Ascend!

A witch?

In this age of science?

They're dead, aren't they?

I don't know what you are...

but you're...

my enemy!

Captain!

Damn it!

Princess, we're over the mountain!

My power...

We can't get away!

Point toward it! Straight at it!

I won't let you be the only one to stain your hands with blood.

Die!

Hot!

Hot! Hot!

A witch?

Impossible...

Princess!

Princess! Princess!

She said there was a fortress around here.

If I go there, I'm sure...

Thank you. But I can't take you with us anymore.

Princess, just hang in there a little longer.

Landsburgg, Capital of Eylstadt

I never thought I'd see the day

when the Landsburgg sky was filled with barrage balloons.

So Fort Schweizen fell?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

And the fortress's men?

A suicide squad valiantly succeeded in bringing down Blegen Bridge,

and the survivors escaped, we're told.

But unfortunately, there weren't many.

I was watching for them to make a swift strike at the capital,

and instead they came from the west?

Those Germanians and their goddamn feints!

But their cowardly tactics

only raise the morale of our troops.

We've drawn our defense lines at Coenenberg

and are preparing to repel them!

Let's show those cowardly Germanians a thing or two!

The Germanians are not a foe that can be defeated by shouting and "morale,"

General Schneider.

What did you say?

Sieg, any word from Finé?

No. None yet.

At this point,

I'd even be willing to seek help from the witch in the fairy tale.

The White Witch won't save us.

Even if the legend were true...

Your Excellency!

Please leave.

Get me my bag, quickly.

Yes, sir.

Major, I'll walk.

Rest.

The fortress fell, but we still need you to fight.

Excuse me!

Um... Are you with Eylstadt?

Yes.

I'm so glad!

Please!

The princess... Save the princess!

Princess Finé?

I z e t t a: T h e L a s t W i t c h

I z e t t a: T h e L a s t W i t c h

Be gentle.

Heat some water for me.

She was captured by the Germanians and escaped?

As much as possible.

Right!

How?

Well...

Are you her maid or something?

I want your help.

A-All right! I'll help!

The bullet struck her upper right arm, but it passed through.

Did you do the first aid?

Yes.

There was so much blood, so I...

Well done.

I don't see any other wounds,
