Saber Marionette J to X

Bearing many memories that cannot be undone...

I am happy at times, but why am I...

...sad sometimes?

You'll hurt if you deny your true feelings...

Something's changed since I realized that

There are times when people need kindness

Not with words, but just by embracing them

There are times when people don't need kindness

In order to seek the future with your own strength

The Plasma Tightrope! An amazing feat!

Now please give a warm round of applause...

...to Akashi and Osaka, the stars of the Higure Circus!

What's this...

...familiar sensation?

Maybe I'll remember something if I go there.

Like who I am...

Something important about me.

1/3 of Sorrow

Higure Circus

Way to go, Osaka!

Yeah! Way to go, Akashi!

It worked out great today!

You were great today, Akashi!

Especially the triple flip on the rope!

Did you hear the crowd roar?

It's not just me...

...we all did it together.

It's that modesty of yours that people just love.

You're quite the guy, man.

Enough already!

Stop that!

- Our big hero! - You're strangling me!

Akashi's back in good form.

Yeah, he was pretty depressed for a while there...

...ever since he broke up with that Japoness marionette, Bloodberry.

I knew I'd remember something about this.

I know this place.

We've got an important job for you.

Go to the circus and see if there's any money around.

It's too good a job for you.

Oh, my! It's Bloodberry!

I knew it was Bloodberry.

How have you been?

Hey, what's the matter? You don't look so good.

Go by the tent over there.

Well, uh...

What are you doing in Xian?

Is your master with you?

Don't say anything stupid to anyone.

Oh, yes. I've got to tell Akashi about this.

He'd be so happy to see you.

Excuse me, I...

Something the matter?

I'm sorry.

Bloodberry!

Wait! Bloodberry!

I see. The loot's in the red trailer, huh?

Now that we know, this job will be a cinch.

Getting the marionette to check it out was brilliant, boss.

Please, don't make me do anything...

What?! How dare you keep on with that!

Who was it that took you in and fed you, huh?!

Oh, my god!

What?!

Bloodberry?!

Are you sure? Was it really Bloodberry?

Yeah, I'm sure of it.

It sounds like Bloodberry's got some kind of amnesia.

She was picked up by a gang and forced to work for them.

Amnesia...

How about me?

How about me as your partner?

You were awesome, Bloodberry!

We were made for each other!

Tomorrow's show will be our last in this town.

If it's okay with you, I want you to come with me.

Bloodberry...

What'll we do, Akashi?

There's no point in asking I guess.

Let's save her.

Okay. We're here to help you.

Of course.

It was only for a short time, but she was a part of us.

Thank you.

Thanks, everyone!

It's time! Let's go!

Right.

What are you doing?! Let's go!

Go! Oppenheimer III!

Get away from me! Go away!

Give it up, you criminal thug.

How dare you!

Come here!

You!

You told them about our plan!

But I didn't...

Shut up! You piece of scrap!

Stop it!

Who's that?!

That's!

Bastard!

Damn you!

I got you!

No!

Thank god I made it in time.

Bloodberry...

Nothing to worry about now.

You must be hungry.

Come on, eat.

It's good.

Poor girl.

She's been through so much.

Don't you remember anything?

Even about Japoness?

About your master?

No.

And your personality's changed completely.

I'm sorry, I...

...knew that I was doing something bad...

...but I couldn't help it, but I was...

It's all right, Bloodberry.

Here's some clothes.

It's mine, but it's nice and clean.

Sleep well tonight.

And try to forget the hardship.

You'll let me...

...stay here?

Of course. You're not imposing.

You should at least get some rest.

Thank you so much, everyone.

Thank you, Akashi.

Thank you, Akashi.

What was...?!

Don't ever hurt her feelings again!

How could I have...

How could I have left Bloodberry like that?

Otaru Mamiya, what the hell are you doing?

Who am I?

Lime...

It's Lime!

Huh? Who's that?

Who are you?

Who?

Damn, I mustn't fall asleep.

I've got to find them.

Where are you...

...Lime, Cherry, Bloodberry?

I'm so hungry...

The frustration of not being able to eat the fish I see.

I can't take it anymore!

Ow! Ow!

These are piranha!

All right! I'll get every one of you!

Akashi!

Good morning, Bloodberry.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

- Well... - Well...

Bloodberry!

Can you give us a hand?!

Coming!

I want to be with you

Magnet mitai Just like a magnet

Chanto hikiyosete itene You better not let me go

Honki de mitete Take me seriously

Kakehiki iranai I don't need any games

Jodan janaiyo Please don't joke around

Kawari nanka iranaino There's no one else but you

Nakanu tori nara nakasemashou If a bird doesn't sing, let's make it sing

Watashi no dekkai ai de With my great love

Bloodberry...

Bloodberry... Bloodberry...

Bloodberry... Bloodberry...

Akashi taught him that.

Osaka...

He's heard your name many times.

Akashi's...

...in love with you.

Incredibly.

What about you?

Don't you feel the same?

Hey, Bloodberry...

...you want your memory back?

You want to go back to your life?

I don't know.

But I'm really happy now...

I'm really happy now.

Then why don't you stay with us for the sake of...

...for Akashi?

Bloodberry... Bloodberry...

There's nothing to be troubled about.

This is probably what Bloodberry wants.

Let's have her stay.

I realize now... how I really feel.

You were looking through me, at someone else, weren't you?

You must think I'm stupid.

I can't do it.

I certainly...

...can't forgive the man who left Bloodberry like that.

But...

But I can't take someone...

...who's lost her memory away from Otaru Mamiya.

It's like stealing someone's innocent pet.

Akashi...

Zhou Clinic

What's up, Lime?

Doctor?

I want to know more and more.

Know more?

Yes.

I want to know more about the pain and suffering of people.

I want to be a mother for these kids.

This is interesting.

The simulation data of the Maiden Circuit?

Quickly accelerating maturity...

The limits of machinery...

Those three marionettes...

...desire to become more human in the end.

That is quite amusing.

They aspire to become the lowest, most wretched of beings.

Doctor?

Akashi!

Wait!

Take me with you!

Don't go!

Don't leave me!

Don't go!

What's wrong?!

Bloodberry...

...you all right?!

Hey!

Hey!

Akashi...

Bloodberry...

I love you, Akashi.

Don't let go of me!

I want you to be only mine! Please!

Only mine!

Bloodberry...

Welcome to the Higure Circus of love and adventure!

Playing in Xian now, to rave reviews!

Come check out the circus!

Hey, who the hell are you guys?!

What the hell's this about?

This is crazy! What's going on?!

I'll be okay, Osaka.

It's just some mistake.

Aka!

Bloodberry.

Let's wait here. Don't worry.

He'll be right back, when they see it's a mistake.

Damn, my legs are screwed.

Are you okay, Mister?

Yeah... Thanks a lot kid.

What's this?!

They were giving them out at the park.

Higure Circus This is that circus again!

Maybe...

Interrogation Room

I'm very sorry.

Please forgive me.

We followed up on a citizen's report...

...and we made a terrible mistake.

I understand.

By the way, what did Otaru Mamiya do to get...

...an arrest warrant put out on him?

Terrorist bombing.

Along with three marionettes.

They treat him like a hero in Japoness, but they say he's strange.

They say he treats the three...

...with love and care like they were real human women.

Three?!

Not just one?!

Isn't it just her?!

No, all three.

Seems like quite the weirdo, that Otaru Mamiya.

Three...

Don't let go of me!

I want you to be only mine!

Bloodberry...

Akashi...

Akashi!

Bloodberry?

I was so worried.

Please, don't ever leave me alone!

All right.

You must be hungry.

I'll go ahead and get some dinner ready.

You!

You're the!

From the circus!

Tell me! Have you seen my Bloodberry...

...I mean, my marionette?!

Your?

Well, tell me! Is she there?!

She's there.

Bloodberry!

What do you want?

Otaru Mamiya...

...you have no right to go and see Bloodberry!

How dare you show your face after all this!

Stop messing around with Bloodberry's heart!

When...

...did I mess around with Bloodberry's heart?

Don't you get it?!

What do you know?!

What do you know about Bloodberry?!

I know.

Because I'm in love with her.

She's not just a third of what I have.

Bloodberry is everything to me!

Otaru Mamiya...

...if you pick one out of the three...

...and if that happens to be Bloodberry...

...then you can have her.

But...

...I don't intend on handing her over to you now.

She doesn't deserve to be one-third!

One...

...third?

I'll be responsible for Bloodberry.

And if you don't come to take her away...

...I'll be the one to make her happy.

One...

...third?

I don't need an eternity...

Just the moment I spend with you.

I want to feel the passion and sorrow...

I want to feel your heartbeat.

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 here and I am here...

There's nothing else that we need.

Rather than search for the meaning of life...

Feel the life in you now.

Let's search step-by-step...

For something more than simple answers.

Preview

I never thought of each of you as one-third.

But...

...Lime and Cherry have also found happiness on their own.

They can be perfectly happy even without me.

What are you?!

Why are you going after the girls?!

They don't know anything!
