Yukiyukite Senshadou: Chi-Ha-Tan's Triumph

Kinuyo Nishi has risen to the top position of Chihatan's massive Sensha-do team, but ascends to the role of General as the school is in its darkest period yet. A bright commander who shuns the traditionalist codes of Bushido that the school has usually followed, she has only attained the General position thanks to the previous commanders being killed in the previous tournaments, and the replacement officers being inexperienced hardcore traditionalists.

Under her leadership in the months between the 74th and 75th Tournaments, Chihatan has made progress in shifting from charge-oriented strategy to more open-minded, logical planning, with great help from her sidekick, Haru Fukuda, whom she has made her Lieutenant-General, or Vice-Commander.

With the 74th Tournament having come to an end the previous year with a surprising one-man victory from Ooarai Girls' Academy, its sole survivor of 32 students is campaigning hard to promote a safer form of Sensha-do. Her work has seen much fruit: governments all over the world are condemning Sensha-do's lethality and calling for changes or otherwise abolishment of the sport. Nishi believes that if she can hold out long enough in the upcoming tournament, it will be cancelled due to international pressure and diplomatic intervention, and the lives of herself and hopefully all of her team will be spared, but that's a big "if".

With her first match in the tournament being against Saunders, she, being in the disadvantage, elects to take defensive positions. As a result, the venue chosen for the match is none other than Iwo Jima. Coincidence? Maybe.

This fanfic of a fanfic is heavily based off of the superb movie "Letters from Iwo Jima", I highly recommend you give it a watch.
