Introduction編集

In the 1930s, the Neuroi, enemies of humanity, suddenly appeared in Europe and other parts of the world. The Neuroi are difficult to destroy with conventional weapons, and only girls with special magical powers, known as Witches, are able to fight them...


Brave Witches is the story between the first and second seasons of Strike Witches.


In September 1944, thanks to the activities of the Allied Forces, primarily the 501st Joint Fighter Wing 'Strike Witches', the Neuroi nest over the Republic of Gallia was obliterated and the safety of western Europe was secured. Taking this opportunity, the Allied Forces planned a full-scale counter-offensive operation in the central and eastern parts of Europe. The 502nd Joint Fighter Wing 'Brave Witches', based in Petersburg in the Orussian Empire, was also about to be ordered to go into action.


With the hope of humanity on their shoulders, these courageous Witches are flying through the cold skies of Eastern Europe.


Synopsis編集

Hikari Karibuchi, a Witch trainee living in Sasebo, looks up to her older sister and an elite Witch of the Fusō Navy, Takami Karibuchi. In order to catch up with Takami even just a little bit, Hikari has been making efforts every day.


One day, it was decided to send one of the witches from the Sasebo Aviation Witch Preparatory School to Europe. Hikari volunteered to go to Europe to become like her older sister.


Hikari overcomes the selection test and boards the naval fleet bound for Europe with Takami, who is scheduled to go to the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, but on the way, the fleet is attacked by Neuroi, and Takami is mortally wounded.
