Artist's commentary
Inazuma: Hawa-! [*TUMBLE*]
Ikazuchi: Inazuma-!!
Inazuma: I am alright. A bomb just landed nearby is all.
Kiso: (Attacking at the enemy is becoming necessary... Or else we could never run away unharmed.)
Kiso: I will stand here to stall the enemy. You guys have to retreat at full speed.
Inazuma, Ikazuchi, Hibiki: -!
Inazuma: Kiso-san, are you not running away?!
Kiso: After I have enough time, I’ll flee
Ikazuchi: That’s not good! Among us war potentials, to have only Kiso-san stalling is like committing suicide! Absolutely not good!!
Kiso: I’m telling you, just go!
Ikazuchi: No way! I hate seeing someone dying in front of my eyes. If you’re stalling, then me too! That way...
Kiso: Shut up and go. I don’t have time for quarrels.
Ikazuchi: -!!
Hibiki: Everyone, let’s go. ...you’ll promise that you’ll return, right?
Kiso: Yeah
Ikazuchi: . . .
Inazuma: Kiso-san, I really hope you will return. I wish you luck in battle . . .
Kiso: . . . so they have gone. What’s left is to earn some time, huh.
Wo-Chi-Ri-classes: . . .
Kiso: So you have shown yourselves. When I don’t have the need to protect those brats anymore, I can go rampage... on full blast! [BAM! BAM!]
Chi-class: Kh-!
Ri-class: [BAM! BAM!]
Kiso: [*missed*]
Ri-class: n-!
Kiso: How gullible, [THUD!]
Ri-class: [*barely missed*]
Kiso: Tch... The attack didn't hit the enemy’s heavy cruiser huh... However,
Ri-Chi-classes: [BAM, BAM]
Kiso: If it’s you guys, me as an opponent is unreasonable [THUD]
Ri-Chi-classes: [*missed*, *barely missed*]
Kiso: Good, at this rate... Uwa-! [BOOM!]
Wo-class: . . .
Kiso: Ugh; attacking, from the blind spot, huh... [*stagger...*]
Ri-Chi-classes: [BAM, BAM]
Kiso: Ugh, uwaaah!
Aircraft: [POW, POW]
Kiso: Uwaaah, ughk!
Kiso: Damn it . . . the cannons are . . . and my legs too...
Kiso: (I can’t counterattack and I’m also paralyzed. This is really a high tide, isn’t it.)
Kiso: Good, good. You guys are not bad. I’ll sink bravely. It’s alright that I sink as I boast about my greatest victory . . .
Kiso: (It seems that I have to break my promise with them. I’ve ended up giving them another lost consort.)
Wo-class: [*inches forward*]
Kiso: (Kuma . . . Tama . . . Now I’ll be heading to . . . )
Ikazuchi: Kiso-saaan!
Kiso: That was . . . Ikazuchi, why are you here; why did you come back...!?
Ikazuchi: Heading alone is bad after all. It would’ve been alright to rely on me! I will assist you now!
Kiso: Fool! Don’t get close! Hurry and head back! You idio...t-!
Ri-Chi-classes: [ker-chak...]
Kiso: Ah, aaah. Sto...
