 Work In Progress This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Talk:Strike Witches 2 for current discussions. Content is subject to change. |
March, 1945, six months have passed since the destruction of the Neuroi hive over Gallia by the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the Strike Witches. Semi-retired Fuso Imperial Navy Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji is living peacefully back home in Fuso when she receives another letter from her late father, Ichiro Miyafuji, an engineer and original designer of the Striker Units that Witches use to fly and fight against the invading aliens known as the Neuroi.
Meanwhile, in the skies over Venezia the 504th Joint Fighter Wing, the Ardor Witches, are undertaking an operation with the goal of attempting to communicate with a Witch-like Neuroi, similar to one that had tried to communicate peacefully with Yoshika the previous year. However, before contact could be made a new, far larger Neuroi hive formed over Venezia, killing the Witch-Neuroi and entirely obliterating the existing hive. Back in Fuso, Yoshika, now with Squadron Leader Mio Sakamoto, overhears a desperate radio transmission from Flight Sergeant Lynette Bishop of Britannia, another former Strike Witches member. Despite Mio's initial objections, Yoshika ends up accompanying Mio back to Europe, where the 501st is reassembled to combat this sinister new threat.
Brave Witches (released in 2016), which follows the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, takes place before Strike Witches 2, as does the The Sky That Connects Us manga, which follows the Strike Witches' lives between the two seasons. In chronological order, Strike Witches 2 is followed by Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow.
For more in-depth explanations of the lore and setting of the World Witches universe, see the first season's page.
Warning: Some descriptions and images are spoilers for the series, read at your own risk.
The following weapons were used in the anime series Strike Witches 2:
Pistols
Nambu Type 14
In a flashback, Mio Sakamoto, nearing the end of her days as a Witch, has Petty Officer Keisuke Hijikata use a Nambu Type 14 to test Mio's weakening shield.
Beretta M1934
As promotional material for Strike Witches 2, Pilot Officer Francesca Lucchini of Romagna and Flight Lieutenant Charlotte Elwyn "Shirley" Yeager of the United States of Liberion had their respective sidearms released as airsoft replicas.
Francesca uses a stainless Beretta M1934 customized with black controls, the 501st JFW emblem on the grips, as well as her personal emblem and a gold banner with her name on the slide. Under the gold banner is marked ~Gratitudine di Maria~ (Gratitude of Maria). In episode 5, Dutchess Maria Pia of Romagna (inspired by the Italian princess of the same name) encountered Francesca in Rome, and the two spent the day together (including numerous homages to the film Roman Holiday), unaware who the other actually was (the head of state, and a Witch). After Francesca, Charlotte, and Yoshika defend Rome from a Neuroi attack, Maria gives a speech over the airwaves, vowing to do everything in her power to defend her country against the Neuroi threat, and sends the Strike Witches an airdrop of supplies. Francesca and Charlotte's matching pistols were likely in these crates, though they aren't seen in the anime.
Colt M1911A1
Charlotte also receives a custom pistol from Maria, an M1911A1 built to match Francesca's customized Beretta. The trademarks on the gun read Colette's PT.F.A.MFG.CO. (rather than "Colt's"), since, as with most country names, most manufacturer names are also variations of their real versions in the World Witches universe.
