Ép. 8: Hyuga négocie avec le leurre de Kongou tandis que Gunzou se prépare à livrer un torpille vibratoire aux États-Unis.

With Iwo Jima surrounded by the enemy fleet, Hyuga makes contact with Kongou by Gunzou's request, asking for a parley with her mental model before they begin hostilities. Kongou answers her call and she rendezvous with them at the beach, accompanied by the Heavy Cruiser Maya. As the rest of the crew remain on standby aboard the I-401, Gunzou discuss with Kongou and the other mental models about the real intentions of the Fleet of Fog and learns from her that she and the other ships have only one purpose, which is to follow the "Admiralty Code" that instructed them to chase the humans away from the seas and prevent all contact overseas between them. Instead of discussing the matter further, Gunzou invites the guests for a barbecue at the beach where Kongou asks Iona about the reason why all ships who come in contact with her start displaying a behavior independent from the Admiralty Code, but when she refrains from responding, Kongou claims that she will not fall by their trap and it is revealed that both her and Maya's mental models are actually decoys, with their cores being safely guarded at their respective ships to prevent them from being influenced by human behavior, before they begin to attack. Hyuga has a hard time defending the island against the enemy barrage until Takao, Haruna and Kirishima step in to assist her. Disappointed that he and Kongou could not see eye to eye, Gunzou declares that it's up to him to find a way past her and deliver the vibration torpedo to the United States. (Source: Wikipedia)
