Ep. 11: Mio struggles with True Reppuzan power drain during critical Yamato mission against Neuroi nest.
Mio suffers from power depletion after using the True Reppuzan, a fact Yoshika observes when the sword nearly causes her to faint. Superiors order a final assault on the Neuroi nest, planning to power the Yamato with Neuroi technology to prevent Romagna's surrender and the 501st Strike Witches' dissolution. Mio resolves to master the True Reppuzan, but Minna stops her, knowing the sword has drained most of her magic. Yoshika overhears this conversation. During the charge, Mio fails to execute the technique. The Yamato activates its Neuroi Dynamo for flight and repairs, but the system fails upon hitting the hive bow, paralyzing firing controls. Deeming the mission a failure, Mio refuses to give up and charges toward the Yamato, attempting to restart the Dynamo with her remaining magical energy.
