Panel 1
SFX: Whirl
Samidare: Uwa~
Suzukaze: Our first whirlpool in ages!!

Panel 2
Makigumo: Haaau~
some fuel leaked....
TTK: So this whirlpool causes fuel to leak too, huh!!
Fubuki: Is... is everyone alright!?

Panel 3
Suzukaze: I'm fine! It's my first appearance in a while, so I'm all fired up!
Samidare: I'm okay! I'll do my best!

Panel 4

Arare: Yeah...

Panel 5
TTK: The compass's sent us north!
... ah, that means...

Panel 1
TTK: We've only got destroyers, no CVs or CVLs...!
SFX: Pew pew pew pew
TTK: All we have to deal with their airstrikes is AA fire!

Panel 2
TTK: Ooshio, moderately damaged during the air combat phase!
Ooshio: Ow!
SFX: Bam
TTK: Makigumo and Arare, lightly damaged!

Panel 3
Samidare: Now they've done it!
Suzukaze: Go!
TTK: Samidare! Suzukaze!

Panel 4
TTK: Your attacks hit... but the damage to the enemy was... minor!
Line abreast fortifies our defenses, so our attack power...
Samidare: No...

Panel 5
Samidare: we destroyers' attacks just...
Suzukaze: completely lack any punch! Dammit!!

Panel 6
TTK: Fubuki's already maxed out on modernization!
Fubuki: Kuh...
TTK: Fubuki's attack might..

Panel 7
TTK: It's no good! And...
SFX: Boom
TTK: the elite heavy cruiser didn't take any direct damage!!

Panel 1
Narration: Several Days Later
TTK: Torpedo phase, two allies hit!

Panel 2/3
TTK: Samidare, moderate, Arare, heavy damage!
Ooshio: Arare!
It's another tactical defeat!!
If we've taken heavy damage, we have no choice but to withdraw!

Panel 4
TTK: The siege at Kis Island...
the eastern route's elite battleship's attacks are near-lethal,
and so long as we can't land any real blows on them,
their torpedo attacks are damaging enough that we can't advance...

Panel 5
Suzukaze: We could only knock out the enemy in night battle, but...
Mochizuki: a night battle before the boss would be seriously exhausting...

Panel 6
Fubuki: If we slowly keep up modernizing and leveling, our armor and evasion will...
TTK: First, let's get injured Samidare and Arare to repairs...

Panel 8
SFX: Wobble

Panel 9
SFX: Thud

Panel 10
Ooshio: Arare...!
