Saber Marionette J to X

Small fragments pile up deep within my soul.

Like gathering up the scattered pieces...

...of a jigsaw puzzle.

You can never deny your true feelings...

As you have shown me through your smile.

You can feel the pain of others in your soul...

Connected by the Circuit that gives you courage.

You have the strength to believe in tomorrow...

And your limited time will not go to waste.

Ladies and gentlemen! This is Mitsurugi Hanagata.

The planet Terra 2 at the far end of our galaxy...

...is populated by men, except for only one woman.

Although there'll soon be lots of clone girls born...

...for now, there's only...

...men, men, men!

Whether you turn to the right or left...

...or up or down, the only people are men!

But there's no need to worry.

There are marionettes on Terra 2.

Marionettes are androids modeled after human women.

Although there are only seven, some of them possess human souls.

These are artificial hearts called Maiden Circuits.

That's right. Lime...

...Cherry...

...and Bloodberry are Saber Marionettes with Maiden Circuits!

Way to go! Heisuke Mishima!

Damn! He brings tears to my eyes!

Way to go! Heisuke Mishima!

You're the greatest man in Japoness!

What's going on here?

Wow! Another fair?!

Otaru!

Hey! Hanagata!

What's with this partying?

What?! Don't you know?! It was a comeback victory!

A comeback victory!

A comeback victory?

Yeah, Heisuke Mishima!

That Heisuke Mishima finally came back and claimed victory!

What a rush! Amazing!

A glorious time to be a man!

Otaru!

Oh, the ground that caresses my cheek feels so good!

Why do I feel you've got the wrong message?

Who is this Heisuke Mishima?

Do you girls know?

The Saberdolls' Journey

Finally, the time has come.

What should we do?

Luchs? Panther?

Well, I don't know...

It's obvious!

Come on, Tiger! We have to follow our master's orders!

I know that.

That's why we came to Japoness to study in the first place.

But...

I wonder if our Maiden Circuits have...

...developed to the level that Master Faust expects?

Well, I don't know...

We'd have to be at least at Lime's level...

...In order to face him.

Lime's level...

Lime's level...

You're embarrassing me.

Lime! When'd you get here?!

Hey Tiger, I wanted to ask you a favor.

Lend me some rice! Rice?

Again?

Thanks, Tiger! Hao!

So, what'll we do?

Well, it would really help if I could borrow some soy sauce.

Your kindness is appreciated.

As you were saying...

We're out of miso. Lend me some!

Thanks!

Sorry!

Shameless bunch they are!

But I wouldn't have imagined it.

Who'd have thought we'd be on good terms with our former enemy.

Excuse me...

Would you consider lending me some money for cat food and stuff?

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but...

No?

In your dreams!

Looking to get yourself killed?!

You reckless idiot!

I'm s orry !

You're outta here!

My name is Baiko, an official guard.

Also an official guard, Tamasaburo.

Only a fool would consider breaching Japoness Castle.

Give yourself up as you should.

Fool.

Could this be another instigator sent to take Lorelei and her clones.

I'm sure of it.

If they control all the women on this male planet...

...they'll be able to conquer all of Terra 2.

It is our duty to protect Lorelei from all misfortune.

That was the condition under which we were resurrected.

Faust Diners Heisuke Mishima Victory Special!

Welcome. What would you like?

One vegetarian teriyaki burger.

How about a seaweed shake with that?

We're having a Heisuke Mishima Victory special.

With every combination order...

...the customer will receive an autographed towel...

...a stomach-band, and...

...a tatami floor mat.

All right! I'll take the combo!

Right away, sir.

One VT burger combo!

One VT! Help me, Panther!

Hang on! I've got my hands tied here!

Thank you very much.

Welcome. Huh?!

Hao, Luchs!

Hao...

Hao! Tiger! Panther!

We thought we'd drop by.

This place is hopping!

It's all thanks to Heisuke Mishima's comeback victory.

Coupon?

You noticed, huh?

Faust Diners Free Meal Coupon It would be nice if you'd pay for your meals sometime...

...Instead of coming only when you have free meal coupons.

Sorry...

I am so full! That was delicious! Wasn't it, Otaru?

Yeah!

Good thing we came. Right, Lime?

I have to say I'm really impressed.

I honestly didn't expect you to do this well.

You were so ignorant of things when you first came to Japoness.

It's hard to imagine you back then.

You three have come a long way.

Otaru Mamiya.

Ah, I want to talk to you later.

Fish Paste Club for Men

What's the idea, Colonel Rolant?

You wanted to know about Japoness Castle's security system.

But that's no reason to use my products as you please.

Products?

Do you really think such garbage made of...

..lllegal parts of military saberdolls has any value in the underworld?

Colonel Rolant...

Have you forgotten who took you in when you had no place to go?

Can't you see that I'm trying to repay you for that.

If we have control over the female clones, we control the black market.

But you can't use SVM-1107 anymore.

If anyone analyzed its software, we'd lose our cover.

Not to worry. We have other cards to play.

Kasahari Apartments

Taru So, what'd you want to talk about?

This came to us this morning.

What's this?

A letter!

Who's it from?

It's the former President of Gartland...

...Master Faust.

Faust...

Faust?!

Yes.

The man who guided us through mountains and rivers.

Master Faust...

Our Great Master.

Yeah, but what is it?

An order to return.

An order to return?

This?

But it's a blank piece of paper with nothing on it!

He said he would send us a letter if he needed us.

That was the promise Master Faust made to us.

But people normally write something.

You know, like, "come back".

Are you three going back?

We haven't decided yet.

Oh, that's a relief.

Otaru Mamiya, do you think our Maiden Circuits have developed...

...to the level Master Faust expects?

Huh?!

I don't know!

I guess it's time.

I'd say you're ready.

How can you be so indifferent?!

No, I'm serious.

I was thinking of the crowds who now flock to your restaurant.

Don't you think those people acknowledge you...

...Just as they have with Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry?

Isn't that proof that you've matured?

What's the matter, Tiger?

Let's return.

What?!

Yeah, let's return to Master Faust.

Tiger!

If that's our master's orders...

If Master Faust really needs us back...

You're right. Let's return.

Yes. We should return.

But, before we leave...

Heisuke! Heisuke!

Congratulations

Heisuke! I'm so happy to be able to live in your times.

You're a true Japoness hero!

Oh, no! Watch out!

Brother!

Hey, don't push! Ouch! Who stepped on me?

Look at this crowd.

How does one expect to see the parade like this, Otaru?

I hear you, but...

I know! Hey, Otaru! There's a great place we could watch from.

Where would that be?

Look! Over there!

Sorry, Lorelei.

Thanks for letting us watch from here.

No problem, Otaru.

I was just thinking of watching the parade myself.

And it's good to see the girls again.

Besides, it's a lot more fun watching it with others.

Hey, what are you doing? Otaru? Lorelei?

Let's watch the parade together!

I packed some supper for us all!

And we've got some booze too!

Hurry! Hurry!

All right.

It looks like he's arrived!

Really?!

Mishima! Mishima! Mishima!

So, that's the famous Heisuke Mishima.

Congratulations, Heisuke Mishima!

Adult

You can't see him from here, can you?

Lorelei.

Hello, General...!

I guess you're now just plain Tamasaburo and Baiko, right?

I can't get used to that.

Something wrong?

These three wanted to see you.

You three!

Are you dressed like that because...?!

So, you've decided to return after all.

Are you going"?!

Huh?! Are you really going?!

Yes.

No...

No! Please don't! We just became good friends!

Don't give me that sad look, Lime.

It's not like we'll never see each other again.

But... But still...!

So, you finally acknowledge it...

...that you've matured?

Yes, for now.

There was no need to mature!

You should've just stayed like before!

Lime!

You all decided on this together, right?

Then I'm sure that's the best thing for you girls.

Lorelei...

We wanted to thank you before we left.

Huh?

Thank you, Lorelei, for fixing my Maiden Circuit...

...and once again giving me a soul.

Tiger...

Also, when you think about what Gartland did to Japoness...

...it would have been natural for you to scrap us.

But you didn't.

I couldn't do such a thing.

I've learned many things from all you girls.

Terra 2 is about to re-introduce women and bring in a new era.

We humans need to mature as well.

Lorelei...

Wheat the...?!

Why, that's...!

Kreiger 3! What's it doing here?!

Do you know it, Luchs?

It's a saberdoll that was developed in Gartland.

What?!

But it wasn't designed for fighting.

Then why is it...?

Could it be Faust?!

That's impossible!

[fit is, he'd have given us our orders!

Then who?! And for what purpose?!

Regardless of who it is, anyone upsetting the peace of Japoness...

...and threatening Lorelel's life...

...must be brought to justice!

Wait a minute!

Leave this one to us.

Whoever is behind this, it's a stain on Gartland's reputation.

Which means it is a stain on Master Faust's reputation.

Huh?!

There's more than one!

They're after Lorelei!

There're three! That suits us perfectly!

I've been feeling the need to go wild.

Come on, show me what you've got!

Well, that's an impressive toy you've got there.

I was hoping for more of a fight.

Are you all okay?

Yes.

Wheat is this?

A self-detonating device!

What?

That means it's a bomb, Lime!

Give it!

Tiger!

Lime!

I've got 20 seconds until it explodes!

If only I can get it out there!

What?!

Another one?!

Tiger!

They've all been taken out!

Colonel Rolant! Where'd you go, Colonel?!

Yes, the saberdolls are okay.

Our plan went smoothly... Hm?

Lime! Tiger!

It's all right, they're both safe!

What's with those long faces before an exciting journey?

I was just hoping that Master Faust won't be disappointed with us.

Have some confidence in yourself.

You should return proud.

These aren't exactly my words, but here goes...

As long as you give your best effort in whatever you do...

...you need not worry about the results.

If you run into a wall...

...learn from it so you can leap over it.

Anyone who has a soul has the infinite ability to learn.

Thank you, Otaru Mamiya.

Are you really going?!

Yes, it's time to say goodbye.

But we've only just become friends. I don't want to say good-bye.

Just have Faust come here! You don't have to go to him!

Lime, who's our master?

Lime, you take good care of Otaru. So long.

Bye.

Good-bye!

Take care!

They're gone.

We'll see them again.

Sure.

There is no eternity for me...

Just the moment I spend with you.

I want to feel the warm throbbing...

Of your beating heart.

I want to protect and be protected...

By your warm gaze.

It's not about strength...

Let's engrave that deep in our souls.

I do have faith and I do believe...

In the road that I tread from now.

You are there and I am there...

There's nothing else that I need.

Rather than search for the meaning of life...

Feel the life in you now.

More important than the answer...

Is to discover life, step-by-step.

Preview

Yoohoo! This is Lime!

We've become sightseeing guides on a bus.

We'll talk about a lot of things, like the history of our planet Terra 2...

...why we were created in the first place...

...and why we live with Otaru.

By the way, Hana, what is a Shirataki Friendship Love Alliance?

Saber Marionette J to X. Next episode...

Shirataki Shines Forever

I love you, Otaru!
