Aired on November 19, 2013

The I-401 and its crew arrive at Iwo Jima, greeted by Hyuga and Takao. Hyuga repairs the submarine while Gunzou plans to abandon the base due to low supplies. The crew intends to deliver a vibration torpedo to the United States to equalize mankind and the Fog, potentially ending the blockade. Hyuga suggests Takao join them, while Kongou contacts Haruna and Kirishima for their intentions. Haruna refuses to return to the Fleet of Fog for Makie's sake, whereas Kirishima stays to gather information. Kongou subsequently assembles her fleet and prepares an assault on Iwo Jima.
