However, in Japan, “ピンチ” can more broadly be referred to as a crisis of sorts. Each episode is idiosyncratically titled, having “in a pinch” as the episode prefix this phrase is used in English to refer to “a difficult situation” or “where absolutely necessary” and so, it should be clear that each episode will feature some form of adversity for the Harekaze and possibly the remainder of Akeno’s classmates on board other vessels. A sample size of two is not sufficient for any sort of statistical work, but it’s time to take a massive subjective leap in my predictions and speculate that there is a well-organised effort to sink Akeno and her classmates. The crew prepare to unwind, and Akeno learns that the Musashi has seemingly come into peril. Akeno manages to rescue the operator, and back on the bridge, the crew’s efforts result in the Harekaze landing a shot against the Admiral Spee, prompting it to retreat. Utilising a smoke screen to cover their escape, Akeno notices a smaller boat approaching the Harekaze, but the boat and its operator is sunk by the Admiral Spee. The Harekaze’s crew decide to make their way to the nearest port and sort out their situation, but find themselves under fire from the Admiral Spee, a German cruiser. “If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.” -Heraclitus
