Quotes

01 - Tankery, Here It Comes!

Saori: Hey girl, you want to grab some lunch? Miho: Huh? [realizes she was talking to her] Ah... Hana: See that, Saori, you startled Nishizumi. You'll make a bad first impression. Saori: Sorry, I was just trying to be funny. Hana: Anyway, to repeat the question, if you would like to have lunch with us, we'd both be delighted. Hana: If she went out of her way to ask you to pick Tankery, you must be some sort of master fighter. Are you a war hero and were to shy to tell us? You don't have to be so humble about it. Tell us about your duels, your rampages, your extortion plots. Miho: I come from a family with a long history of riding tanks. Saori: Oh? Hana: Wow! Miho: But I don't like tanks much myself. That's why I came to this school, to try and avoid Tankery. Anzu: So, we've decided to end our school's current hiatus on Tankery. If you choose it as your elective, we'll give you a bunch of cool benefits. Vice president? Yuzu: Those who do well in the course will receive one hundred meal

02 - Tanks, We Ride Them!

Momo: Well, our school got rid of Tankery several years ago but the tanks that were used should still be around here somewhere. No, I'm sure they're here. Our Tankery instructor should be here the day after tomorrow. We'll find the remaining four tanks before then. Takako: Where do you think we might find them? Anzu: We're looking for them because we don't know where they are. Saori: We did it, we found one. Miho: A 38(t). Saori: It's smaller than the last one. It's got screws all over the place. Yukari: The 38(t). It was a mainstay of Field Marshal Rommel's 7th Panzer division, and was an important tank in the initial stages of the blitzkrieg. It's nimble and can cross distances quickly. Oh, and the t means that it was made in Czechoslovakia. It's not a unit of weight. Saori: You went kind of crazy there. Momo: We found one of them. Anzu: So they can get things done if they try. Saori: Which port were we going to visit? I have a boyfriend in every port so it's hard to keep track of wh

03 - We're Having a Match!

Riko: I came, I saw, I shot. Saori: Mako, you can drive? Mako: I learned just now. Saori: But I think the commander should really be Miho. Miho: Huh? Hana: We really don't know much about tanks, so the commander is going to have a hard time. Yukari: But Miss Nishizumi knows what she's doing. Miho: Huh, huh, I do? But I don't think that I'm really all that good at it, you know. Hana: If you would, please. Saori: Pretty please. Yukari: Please, do us the favor. Miho: Right, I'll do it. Thank you, I'll do my best. Saori: The Ankou dance? That's way too embarrassing. If you dance that, you'll never be able to get married. Yukari: That would totally get uploaded to the net and sent to everyone across the country. Hana: You'll never be able to live it down. Miho: Is that dance really that bad?

04 - Commander Does Her Best!

Miho: I guess the operation can be, let's see, Operation Sneaky Sneak, because I want to sneakily see what the enemy is up to, then sneakily attack them. Momo: Doesn't sound like much thought went into that. Yukari: There are four Matilda IIs and a single Churchill, all advancing. They've got quite the tight formation there. Miho: No kidding, it's amazing that they're able to move as a group without falling out of line at that speed. Yukari: We won't be able to breach their frontal armor with the rounds we're carrying. Miho: That's where tactics and skill come in. Miho: New operation, now with more sneaky sneaks. Darjeeling: Have you heard of this proverb before? The English have an old saying that goes like this: all is fair in love and war. Yuri: The smell of oil and iron. Please tell me that you didn't take Tankery. Hana: Well... Yuri: Those delicate hands of yours, you laid them on a tank! [she faints] Yuri: What's wrong. Do you no longer like flower arrangement? Hana: No, it's not

05 - Veterans of Their Trade: Sherman Corps!

Erika: Subcommander. Or would that be former subcommander? Miho: Big sister. Maho: I didn't think you'd still be doing Tankery. Yukari: If I may say something, I don't think Miho's decision was incorrect in that match you had. Erika: I think someone needs to mind her own business. Erika: You're facing Saunders High in the first match. Be sure that you don't fight so poorly that you end up damaging the name of Nishizumi style. Saori: Hey, what's your problem? Hana: I do believe that was quite rude, ma'am. Erika: I find you participating in Tankery rude. You're just some no name school. There's an unspoken rule that everyone knows: schools that would just embarrass Tankery should stay out of the tournament. Mako: It should be pretty embarrassing if one of those teams beat the veterans who all sat around in their ivory towers coming up with that rule. Saori: If we ever end in a match against you, you can bet we won't loose. Erika: Yeah, good luck with that. Naoimi: Have I seen her here be

06 - Our First Battle Comes to a Climax!

Arisa: Head to high point 128. Kei: What's going on? Arisa: It looks like all enemy tanks are going to head there. Kei: Hey, Arisa, are you sure about that? How do you know that's what's going on? Arisa: Trust me, this is a slam dunk. Kei: No one's here! Arisa: That can't be. Wait, did they trick us? Where are Oarai's tanks then? Arisa: Stop, stop! [they avoid a direct hit] Reverse, reverse! Oarai's tanks are all coming for us. Kei: Wait, that doesn't match what you told me earlier. What happened? Arisa: Well, I think they must have realized that we were intercepting their... Kei: You fool! Arisa: I'm sorry. Kei: Haven't I always told you to fight fair, Arisa? Arisa: This tough Sherman isn't going to go down. Fifty thousand of these things were build, countries couldn't stop buying them. They were built strong, never broke down, not to mention they're really comfortable. The controls are so simple an idiot could drive this thing. Saunders Gunner: If I can speak freely here, your words

07 - Up Next is Anzio!

Shiho: You will carry on the Nishizumi school as well. The Nishizumi school is the one that will continue to move forward. Our tradition is to value, above all else, strength and victory. Miho: But, but mother, I just want... Shiho: You cannot be grandly victorious without sacrifice, you know that. Miho: Since I moved here, I've been thinking it was fun too. Before now, I just kept thinking I had to win and that was about it. That's why, when I lost, I decided to start avoiding tanks. Yukari: Hey, I saw that match on TV. Miho: Huh? Yukari: You left the lines to go and help your other team member, didn't you? Miho: My tank was the flag tank, and because I went to help, my tank got shot and we lost. I broke our winning streak. Yukari: I don't care. I think you made the right decision in that situation. Miho: Huh? Yukari: I've said this before, I think the team members that you saved are really happy that you helped them, Miss Nishizumi. Yukari: I can't believe Miss Nishizumi told me "tha

08 - We're fighting Pravda!

Darjeeling: The semifinals are next, but you seem pretty laid back. Are you sure you don't have to practice? Katyusha: It'll be a waste of fuel. They're just some small time team no one's ever heard of. Darjeeling: But the commander's from a Tankery school, the Nishizumi school. Katyusha: Huh? Why didn't you tell me something so important before now? Nonna: I've told you several times. Katyusha: First I've heard about it. Anzu: It's gotten pretty cold, hasn't it? Momo: That's because we've passed a latitude of fifty degrees north. Yuzu: Our next event is in the extreme north. Momo: I wish they'd stop deciding where we're holding our matches by roulette. Katushka: You prepared these tanks just to make Katyusha laugh, did you not? Katyusha: All of you are below Katyusha. Your tanks, your technology and your height. Momo: You're just on her shoulders. Katyusha: I heard that. How dare you insult Katyusha. I'll destroy the lot of you. Katyusha: Oh, the Nishizumi girl. Miho: Huh? Katyusha: T

09 - Last Ditch Effort!

Anzu: Shut down? Minister of Education: It takes money to maintain and run school ships. And after looking at the costs again, we decided to begin consolidating. We will start by shutting down those schools that fail to yield results. Yuzu: So you're saying that we won't have a school anymore after the end of this year? Momo: I can't allow this. Minister of Education: Oarai, as of late, has been losing students, and currently has no attractive programs. In the past, they had quite the active Tankery team, but... Anzu: Well, then let's take up Tankery. Momo & Yuzu: Huh? Momo: Tankery, really? Anzu: You wouldn't shut down the winning school now, would you? Anzu: Well, I thought if we had such an a-rank team in the past, we'd have better tanks lying around. But they didn't have any cash, so they sold all the good ones. Yukari: So that means all the tanks here are? Anzu: Yeah, the one's that didn't sell. Miho: The match isn't over yet. It's not like we've lost the match already. Anzu: Nish

10 - Classmates!

Katyusha: I weakened part of the blockade, tried to lure you in to that section and hit you there. I never expected you would be able to break through the blockade head on. Miho: Me neither. We might have lost if you hit us with everything you had at once. Katyusha: I'm not sure about that. Just maybe... anyway, you guys are pretty good, I guess. I'm just saying, I'm not frustrated by this loss at all. Shiho: She won because her opponent let her guard down. Maho: No, she has skill. Shiho: Did you say skill? Maho: Miho doesn't let herself become constrained by the book. She has the ability to adapt to the situation. Her team won because of her decision making and her ability to bring her team together as one. Shiho: That's absolute heresy. if you're my daughter, you'll show her the one true way to fight, Maho. Maho: I swear on the name of the Nishizumi style that I will not fail to defeat her. Yukari: This is a super rare tank, you know. Momo: The Porsche Tiger. Yukari: People really in

11 - The Battle Gets Fierce!

Miho: All tanks, we're doing the Smokey Smokes Plan. Yuzu: They're really bombarding each other. Momo: It's like they're slowly choking each other to death up there. Miho: Initiate Operation Teasy Tease. Miho: No way, they're fixing the Tiger while it's running? Yukari: They're the Automotive Club for a reason. Mako: I never thought she'd choose to save her friends rather than continue forward. Hana: Miho will always be Miho, right? Yukari: That's why everyone continues to follow Miss Nishizumi. And why we managed to make it this far. Saori: That's right. Hana: I want to win this match. I want to help prove that Miho's Tankery isn't wrong, that she has the right idea. I want to win for that. Asuza: Commander, thank you so very much. Aya: Thank you, Commander. Yuki: Sorry for the trouble. Erika: She's as soft as ever. That is gonna be what does her in. All tanks, prepare to advance. Once we pass this hill we're gonna sink them in the river. Miho: Two tanks were taken out. We only have,

12 - The Battle We Can't Back Down From!

Midoriko: I don't get it, what's so mouse about something that enormous? [a play on words as the tank name Maus means mouse in German] Miho: If we want to finish this in the city, we're going to need to take out that Maus. If we take too long, their main force will show up. Yukari: The Maus is pretty impressive. We can't break through the front or back. Saori: It's just too big. It's like someone put a tank on top of another tank. Momo: Commander Nishizumi. Miho: Sorry. Momo: You don't have to apologize, it was a good plan. Anzu: Take care of the rest for us. Momo: Do it. Yuzu: Fight on. Miho: Right. Miho: We will begin our final operation: the Dizzy Dizzy Plan. Maho: There is no running away in the Nishizumi style. We have no choice but to finish this battle here. Miho: I accept your challenge. Hana: This single shot, has the emotions of everyone contained within it. Momo: Commander! Nishizumi, I can't express enough gratitude for all you've done. But, I am really, I am really gratefu

01 - Water War!

Mako: The school swimsuit will be fine. Miho: I forgot to buy a swimsuit.

02 - Survival War!

Yuzu: You're smiling, Momo-chan. Momo: I am not. Yuzu: You are to. Momo: I said i'm not smiling, so i'm not smiling. Miho: Are those okay to eat? Yukari: Well, these rations were mostly bought for the purpose of collecting, so they should only be consumed at your own risk.

03 - School Ship War!

Hana: I've been wondering for awhile. Saori: What, what? What is it? Hana: Just why are all the schools on ships anyway? Saori: That all? Well of course, that's because... I guess I never really thought about it. Hana: There's general courses, the ship course, intelligence course, tailor course, nutritioning course, and what else was there? I forget. Mako: Engineering, fisheries and agriculture. Miho: Wow, we have all of those? Yukari: Everything on the ship is operated by students.

05 - Snow War!

Riko: Red peppers? Yukari: This way your sweat won't freeze inside your boots and your feet won't get too cold. Yukari: I'm wearing socks with heat generating materials, and shoes made from waterproof materials. Riko: Wow, you came prepared. Yukari: Actually, I bought them just because I liked them, but I've had no where to wear them before this tournament. This is the first time I've gotten to use them. Riko: I totally understand. I have military uniforms that I bought that I haven't worn yet.

06 - Banquet War!

Momo: Thank you for all of your hard work in the championships. Thanks to all of your excellent work, our school emerged victorious. Who would have thought that a school like ours, which had no name in Tankery, could defeat such a pretegious school. This will surely go down in school Tankery history. This is merely... Yuzu: Momo-chan, get on with it. Momo: We will now have each team participate in a hidden talents competition. Each team will be prohibited from doing things they are skilled in. Leopons: nothing to do with cars. Anteaters: no internet games. Hippos: nothing to do with history. Ducks: nothing to do with volleyball. Anglerfish: no dancing the Ankou dance. Miho: Akiyama? Hana: Your face is really red. Mako: She's drunk. Miho: On orange juice? Anzu: And the first prize is, one hundred thousand yen worth of [the curtain pulls away from the prize] premium dried potatoes. A whole year's worth!
