In the 11th week, Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) is transferred from the Kochi regiment to the Kokura regiment. There he meets the mysterious Private First Class Yagi Shinnosuke (Satoshi Tsumabuki). As Takashi lives a tough life, receiving harsh punishment from his senior soldiers, a certain man who had enlisted before him appears before him. This unexpected reunion brings relief to Takashi. Meanwhile, in Kochi, Nobu (Imada) receives a letter from Jiro (Ayumu Nakajima).
The last sentence of the letter makes Nobu feel an indescribable unease. The war situation continues to worsen.
