Tankery isn't just a set of rules, Tankery is what you make of it.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
What kind of club would hang out laundry all the way out here?
Wait, is that?
[realizes the laundry is hanging from a long tank barrel]
Everyone, good job working until late. We won't be able to make it in time for the next match, but now we hope for a path forward. We're going to win our match against Anzio. Nishizumi, do it.
Huh?
Wrap it up.
Uh, everyone, let's kick some serious butt.
EEveryone
Right!
The semifinals are next, but you seem pretty laid back. Are you sure you don't have to practice?
It'll be a waste of fuel. They're just some small time team no one's ever heard of.
But the commander's from a Tankery school, the Nishizumi school.
Huh? Why didn't you tell me something so important before now?
NNonna
I've told you several times.
First I've heard about it.
It's gotten pretty cold, hasn't it?
That's because we've passed a latitude of fifty degrees north.
Our next event is in the extreme north.
I wish they'd stop deciding where we're holding our matches by roulette.
KKatushka
You prepared these tanks just to make Katyusha laugh, did you not?
[Katyusha is sitting up on Nonna's shoulders]
All of you are below Katyusha. Your tanks, your technology and your height.
You're just on her shoulders.
I heard that. How dare you insult Katyusha. I'll destroy the lot of you.
Oh, the Nishizumi girl.
Huh?
Thank you for last year. We were able to win because of you. Work your magic with your talent again for us this year.
Understood, we'll attack all at once.
Are you sure?
What happened to being cautious, Miho?
If the match goes too long, they gain the advantage since they're used to fighting in the snow and we're not. Also, since all of you are all pumped up over this.
Sun Tzu says the same. Though I have heard of military operations that were clumsy but swift, I have never seen one that was skillful and lasted a long time. It is better to fight a quick and focused battle. Am I right, Nishizumi?
Yeah, they're strong, but let's get out there and do this.
Eleven o'clock, enemy tanks. All tanks on alert. Just three tanks? They set up a defensive perimeter? [then enemy tanks open fire] They've discovered us. Now might be the time to make use of that long barrel. Prepare for bombardment. Hippo team, begin snipping. Anglerfish team engage as well.
Why are they running?
Don't you think it's because we're chasing them with all of our tanks, Miss Takebe?
Oh, that's right. Guys run away when you chase them too, for some reason.
We've been surrounded.
All I can see is reds.
It was a trap.
All tanks, move towards the large building to the south west. We're going to baricade ourselves in there.
PMPravda Messenger
We bring a message from Commander Katyusha. "Please surrender. I'll forgive all of you if you bow before me." So she says.
What was that? That's...
PMPravda Messenger
The commander says she has a big heart, so she'll wait three hours for your response.
No, we can't lose. We're fighting until the end.
But...
We're going to win. We're going to win. We have to win.
Why do you want to win so much? We made it so far when it was just our first time out here. Tankery isn't war after all. There are more important things than winning.
What's more important than winning?
I came to this school and met all of these people, and learned for the first time what it meant for Tankery to be fun. I've fallen in love with both this school and Tankery. And I want to end this tournament keeping those feelings in tact.
What are you saying? Our school is gone is we lose.
Our school, will be gone?
Kawashima is right. If we don't win the national tournament this year, our school will be shut down.
