Sylvia Maruyama of the Sea Defense Force.

Japan's seas are my seas!

Ground Defense Force Mao-chan

Neverending everyday life...

...is always waiting for you in this town.

Instead of being hurt and troubled all alone,

try telling me what's in your heart.

I want to wrap you up...

...with infinite love,

with a strong heart,

and with deep affection.

All my love, you're my love...

I'll win the goddess of victory over to my side.

All my life, you're my life...

I'll go on loving you...

...no matter what happens.

I'll stand by you forever.

Awake or Asleep We Will Defend.

The Xth of O.

The Unified Defense Force keeps failing again and again, so we're having a rough time.

We're in a serious pinch.

The shiny golden castle...!

It's being taken by the alien!

It sure is pretty...

This time, it's the huge Budokan!

It's being taken away...!

Guess there won't be any more concerts.

Even the three monkeys at the big shrine...!

See no evil...! Hear no evil...! Speak no evil...!

We've failed again.

With more Japanese cultural artifacts stolen away from them by cute aliens again today,

Mao-chan and the girls of the Defense Forces are in tears.

Poor things.

But they sure are cute.

Curse those cute aliens! They've had their way for long enough!

Mark my words, we'll defend against them next time for sure!

But unless we know what they will come after next,

it's impossible to defend against them.

Isn't that right?

Why don't you at least try to think of some countermeasures, Sorajiro?!

Sometimes, a man must simply endure his lot in life.

Stop spouting off that nonsense trying to look cool!

I know what the aliens will come after next.

What?

It's a warning notice.

"We'll visit Okinawa to take a Shisa. Signed, the cute aliens."

What?

Curse those cute aliens! They're mocking us!

Deploy the Unified Defense Force!

The next target of the cute aliens was Okinawa's stone lion.

It's a Shisa, a protective deity rooted in Feng Shui philosophy...

...that wards off evil spirits and fire.

But what are the cute aliens trying to do by stealing landmarks all over Japan?

W-What are you girls doing?

Well, Grandpa said--

No, the Chief of Staff said we could play until it's time for the operation.

I was told the same.

Same here.

Besides, it looks like you're in the mood for fun, too, Colonel.

That's because until the time comes, I'm not your colonel, I'm your supervising teacher.

Okay, Miss Kagome!

Why don't you play with us?

Mee-kun!

Isn't this fun?

It certainly is!

I wish I could have come with the Chief of Staff.

It's time for your meal!

Yes, um, meal...

- This looks tasty! - Wow, looks delicious!

Got any tangerines?

I'm sorry, we don't have tangerines...

Excuse us.

- Let's dig in! - Let's dig in!

Wow, it's delicious!

I'm happy.

I'm happy as long as I'm with Mao-chan.

That's a problematic statement.

I can't eat any more...

Vacations are the best...

Chief of Staff... Love...

Tangerines... Tangerines...

Looks like the cosmic sleeping potion we mixed into the food is working.

President, now our plan is working perfectly!

But if we're doing all this, why did we send them that warning?

It was so we could knock out every last one of the Defense Forces!

Chinami-chan! Your ears, your ears!

In any case, it's almost time for the operation.

I'm sorry, Mao-chan...

Attention, all Unified Defense Force members.

The target is arriving earlier than estimated arrival time.

The target seems to be coming ashore from the sea.

The Cabinet has authorized the use of the Defense Barrier.

Please proceed with operation right away.

Wake up, you two...

It's so hot...

What is it?

They said it's time for the defense operation.

Oh, they did?

We should transform, then...

You have some sand on your face...

Type 2 Ground Gear....

Type 2 Flight Gear...

Type 2 Marine Gear...

- Riku-bo... - Kai-bo... - Ku-bo...

We'll skip this part...

Mao Onigawara of the Ground Defense Force...

Misora Tsukishima of the Air Defense Force...

Sylvia Maruyama of the Sea Defense Force...

The peace of Japan...

...will be protected...

We'll skip the rest...

Oh, right, they said to use the Defense Barrier, didn't they...?

Oh, really...?

I understand...

Defense Barrier, engage...

Here goes...

Here we go...

Barrier Beams, engage...

Reflection Barrier, engage...

Restriction Barrier, engage...

Complete...

Defense Barrier... Unified Defense...

Amazing!

Why? Why? Why?!

Why are they more effective when they're half-asleep?

I'm astonished...

No, no, no, no!

No! No! Wha--?

Did you see the defensive power of the Defense Forces?

We will defend against the cute aliens, even in our sleep.

It's the power of the Air Defense Force.

It's all thanks to Zylvie of the Sea Defense Force.

I'm so full...

I couldn't eat another bite...

Tangerines...

Boy, what a great nap!

Huh, where'd everybody go?

Mao-chan?

Misora-chan?

Sylvia-chan?

Or more to the point, why the heck is it night?!

They run past us in fast-forward,

this brand-new everyday.

Smiling, calm and composed,

I handle trouble lightly and quickly.

Even when tears go straight to my heart.

Let's throw a peace sign into the blue sky...

...and fight for our future.

Never give up, never look back.

That's my style.

Let's do our best again tomorrow with high spirits...

...until we reach our dreams.

Mao-chan, I might give up being a Defense Force member...

What? You're kidding!

The next episode, "Mother Has Come, I Say"

Take care. Farewell.

I want you to keep me from leaving!

Yuru-yuru next week, too.
