The Azur Lane Fleet were recovering from the previous battle and realised that they are in an unknown location with a strong blizzard and the sky seem to be tearing itself apart. However, Enterprise is still missing...
Laffey and Javelin are trying to find the main fleet and they came across Ayanami and she again question why they refuse to fight with her. They tried to convince her that they want to be friends despite their alliances. Suddenly Yudachi, Yukikaze and Shigure thought that Ayanami was being attacked and quickly retreated her back to the Sakura Empire Fleet.

Belfast also arrived to find Laffey and Javelin and advise them to return to their fleet. Enterprise was in a trance and found herself talking to Amagi (She does not know Amagi) and somehow influenced Enterprise's mind on the horror of wars.
At the Sakura Empire Fleet, Kaga survived but is badly hurt. She also noticed that Akagi is missing and they have tried searching her to no avail. The Siren ships were also not moving and the power that Akagi used in the previous battle has Shoukaku asking everyone about them not being told the truth of the Siren technology and Akagi's agenda.
Belfast was still searching for Enterprise and did not blame the two destroyers for befriending Ayanami. In fact, she encouraged the two destroyers to believe in what they think is right as they can be more than just weapons.
At the same time, both sides have reported each other locations and Souryu gave the orders for everyone to retreat despite Kaga's protest that Akagi is still missing. Zuikaku and Shoukaku volunteered to stay behind to hold off Azur Lane and prepare to move off. As they were moving off, Ayanami also has her doubts while the Humanoid Siren Tester and Observer were watching their every move from afar and Observer was holding an unconscious Akagi as a hostage.
The Azur Lane fleet tried to stop the Crane Sisters attacks but they were too fast. Suddenly Zuikaku spotted Enterprise and she started attacking mercilessly on the Crane Sisters which resulted in Shoukaku badly injured. Everyone in Azur Lane was shocked by Enterprise's actions.
Enterprise was still in a trance and Observer influence her that the answer to end all wars is to destroy everything. Zuikaku fired her last shot at Enterprise which only tipped off her cap. Enterprise released a bomber plane to finish the Crane Sisters when Ayanami suddenly appeared and destroyed the plane.
However, the explosion knocked Ayanami out of the sky and she is falling into a void. Enterprise saw what she has done and came out of her trance. Belfast immediately ordered Javelin and Laffey to save her and they managed to catch hold of her and Ayanami thank both of them...
This episode might not have a long battle like last week however there were character developments from both sides. Laffey and Javelin were worried that they will be reprimanded for befriending Ayanami but Belfast is a reasonable person and encourage both girls to do the right thing which they finally did at the end and save Ayanami from certain doom.
Despite being acting childish all these while, Shoukaku actually questions about the truth of the Siren technology and what secret is Akagi hiding from everyone which it is similar to how in the game, it was the Crane sisters who learn the truth of the Sirens and change sides with Azur Lane. Guess what, Akagi is still alive but unconscious which the Sirens are already planning their next move since their goal of powering the Black Cube is completed so I am pretty sure the Sakura Empire will have no choice but to join forces with Azur Lane in the future. (Where on Earth is the Iron Blood forces all these while?)
Enterprise was also influenced by Observer which I am guessing she is mimicking Amagi to make Enterprise feel guilty of everything including Yorktown which we saw in her trance in a total wreck. So how will the rest of Azur Lane be able to save her humanity in the upcoming episodes? Of course, the battle between the Crane Sisters and Enterprise was intense and brutal. If Ayanami did not show up at the last minute, the Crane Sisters will be a goner.
So with Ayanami and the Crane Sisters being taken in by Azur Lane, will they able to change the tide of battle and unite against the Sirens? Until then, see you in the next post!
