* OpeningNarration: As with the first season, the second season opens with a brief monologue recapping the Strike Witches' efforts to liberate Gallia from the Neuroi:
-->"In 1944, the Gallia region of Europe was captured by a strange alien enemy known to humankind only as the Neuroi. However, thanks to the courageous resolve of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the enemy Neuroi were wiped out and Gallia was saved from destruction. Nevertheless, the battle was still far from over."
