Original subtitles

We lived peaceful lives and only knew about war through the One Year War

and through incomplete reports from the media.

But that day, we were thrust into a war zone.

Although the war lasted only seven hours, it was a violent battle.

This is a record of our seven-hour struggle at that maid café.

Anne, help me over here!

Coming...

I'm exhausted...

It's been busy all day, hasn't it?

Don't they ever get tired of this?

I mean, nearly all of them are regulars.

Every single day, they come to the same place, meet the same people,

and talk about the same things...

Where's the fun in that?

The day started off like any other...

It was like watching a rerun of the day before.

Huh? It froze...

My computer's been acting up on me lately.

Yours, too?

You, too, Vice-Chief?

I wonder if it's the server or the connection...

My computer has the same problem.

The three of us use separate servers and use different operating systems.

Don't we only have problems when we come to Akiba?

Now that you mention it...

You're right...

Just as I thought...

Are there bad electromagnetic waves emanating from this area?

Testing, testing... 1, 2, 3...

Testing, testing... 1, 2, 3...

Dark Empress, shall we begin?

The camera is ready.

All right.

Dark General.

Yes, Sue?

We're ready here. Send it down.

Roger.

The Haniwa have quite an impressive electrical information network.

But that will be their downfall...

Okay, Sparky, we're commencing operations!

What's going on?

Look at the sky...

Amazing!

Is there some sort of event going on?

She's cute!

Lowly Haniwa who roost in our holy land, hear me!

We are what you call gods.

What?!

With our arrival, your claim to this holy land has been revoked!

It's them...

Huh?

I repeat...

Tsubomi...

We are gods.

Regardless of how far you have evolved, compared to us, you are nothing.

If anything, you are scum.

You are powerless to resist us.

So she's declaring war?

Rose Papillon Power! Erection!

Lily Papillon Power! Erection!

Margarette Papillon Power! Erection!

Hear this!

This area is a holy land to the Susanoo Family!

We forbid you from remaining in our holy land any longer!

Ran is putting on quite a show.

Haniwa are suckers for a spectacle.

That's so true...

Haniwa!

In the name of the gods, we will eliminate you!

Susanoo Wasshoi!

Take care of the rest, Dark General.

Consider it done, Dark Advisor.

Stop right there!

It's you three!

That's as far as you go!

Don't forget that we're here.

Don't you think "wasshoi" is a bit lame?

You never learn, do you?!

I'll use Sparky to destroy you this time for sure!

So he's the one who's been messing up the town!

Fly! Papillon Rose! Akiba Papillon Rose Fan Club

Fly! Papillon Rose! Akiba Papillon Rose Fan Club Papillon Rose!

Fly! Papillon Rose! Akiba Papillon Rose Fan Club Huh? It's not working... Why now?!

Spirits Insert!

Spoon Shovel!

Rose!

Oh no!

Lily Dynamite Cracker!

Danger. Do not point at other people. Lily Dynamite Cracker!

Lily Dynamite Cracker!

No way!

Rose!

Rose...

The Papillon Soldiers lost...

Sue, I've taken care of the troublemakers.

Send them down.

Understood.

First and Second Special Paratroop Battalions, proceed!

Now all that's left is cleanup!

We have to retreat for now!

We have get away, Kurimoto!

No! The Papillon... We have to save the Papillon!

Rose! Margarette! Lily!

We're too late...

We need to assess the situation.

Docoma and Ao are both useless.

My computer won't boot up. We're totally cut off.

Rose... Margarette... Lily...

From that moment, our seven-hour long war began.

Our Seven-Hour War.

They have complete control of Main Street.

What does it look like outside?

It looks like they've occupied the entire area.

Let's go over what we know.

Right.

The district is sealed off with a barrier.

It has a radius of 500 meters, stretching from Suehiro-cho to Senkai Bridge.

People captured by those terracotta robots are being displaced outside the barrier.

If we resist, they might hurt us...

That's not what happened to us!

That's right.

We got caught in the wave of people trying to get away.

And we tripped...

How are your injuries?

Just a few scrapes, that's all.

Please be careful.

Thank you. You saved us, Kappa and Hiba.

Rose!

Rose!

The Papillon aren't dead!

I only mentioned it as a possibility.

Heroines don't die!

How naïve.

There are heroes who die mid-series and main characters who die in the second season.

No way... Chief...

Sorry. I was just upset.

If only we had some way to contact our remaining friends...

While sailing the seven seas, I went into debt... I mean, I battled tuna.

Semaphore flags!

What's that? Semaphore flags?

I get it! Let's spread the word!

I see... Good thinking...

Is the operation going well, Dark General?

I don't see any Haniwa anywhere.

They seem to have been frightened off.

Our army is overwhelming.

Akiba Defense Force Temporary General Headquarters

Akiba Defense Force Temporary General Headquarters Everyone sure picked it up quickly.

Akiba hasn't given up yet. Tora Tora Tora We will not give up Come back, Papillon! Everyone sure picked it up quickly.

Akiba hasn't given up yet. Tora Tora Tora We will not give up Come back, Papillon! Semaphore signals are rather simple, after all.

Akiba hasn't given up yet. Tora Tora Tora We will not give up Semaphore signals are rather simple, after all.

Semaphore signals are rather simple, after all.

But I think it's amazing how quickly everyone learned it.

Maybe that shows how starved everyone is for information.

To us, information is like the air we breathe.

There are still all these people remaining...

Akiba hasn't given up yet. Tora Tora Tora We will not give up

Akiba hasn't given up yet. Tora Tora Tora We will not give up They all love this town...

Akiba hasn't given up yet. Tora Tora Tora We will not give up

More info just came in.

We have lots here, as well.

What about the Paillons? Any news on them?

None?

We're just getting started.

The semaphore flags should have spread to every area by now...

Information is sure to come in.

I'm going.

Kurimoto...

I'm going to Kanda River to look for the Papillon.

But...

Are you out of your mind?!

There are still aliens and that monster there!

They'll get you before you even get to Kanda River!

That may be so... But I can't just leave them there!

Rose, Margarette and Lily might be suffering somewhere!

Even so...

Let's go and find them.

Chief!

W-wait a minute!

Let's all go! Everyone left in Akiba!

Why would you do something so rash?

Come back, Papillon!

Come back, Papillon! Because we all share Kurimoto's feelings.

We need help Where is in Akiba! Papillon Rose?!

We need help Where is in Akiba! Papillon Rose?! We want info on the Papillon!

We need help Where is in Akiba! Papillon Rose?! Where are Rose and the others?!

We need help Where is in Akiba! Papillon Rose?! Margarette must be alive!

We need help Where is in Akiba! Papillon Rose?! The Papillon live! Margarette must be alive!

We need help Where is in Akiba! Papillon Rose?! Fellow warriors, unite!

It's too reckless...

Girls, there are times when men must fight, even if they know they will lose.

Mr. Manager, we haven't lost yet.

Huh?

Unless I'm mistaken...

New Papillon Maid Baths

Nothing beats a hot spring for healing injuries...

Anne...

Everyone left. Are you all right with this?

Do they really intend to win with a plan like that?

It's stupid!

Even if we went with them, we can't win in our current condition.

We'd only be defeated.

But we can't just ignore them...

Right?

Tsubomi!

I guess not.

Not after hearing how much they care about the Papillon.

There are times when you must fight, even though you know you'll lose, huh?

Let's go!

Right!

Girls!

New Papillon Maid Baths

It's time!

Commence resistance operation to storm the overpass!

Huh?! Where'd they all come out from?

What's the meaning of this?

Dark General! What's going on?

Well, they seem to be dancing!

Dancing?

Do you suppose they're dancing for the gods?!

Chief, it's working!

Just as I predicted...

What?! What's the matter, Sparky?!

Victory!

Banzai! Banzai!

What just happened?!

Sue!

Don't panic.

I'm rebooting it!

Revive your spirit once more!

It came back to life!

We were so close...

Cursed Haniwa!

I don't know what you did, but you did something!

You'll pay for this! Get them, Sparky!

What?!

Divine punishment!

Hold it right there!

Again?!

Clad in sensual lingerie, I am the jasper butterfly of the night!

Papillon Lily!

Clad in sensual lingerie, I am the golden butterfly of the night!

Papillon Margarette!

Clad in sensual lingerie, I am the crimson butterfly of the night!

Papillon Rose!

The Papillon are here!

Our goddesses have arrived!

They were fine... I'm so glad.

They're nothing but losers.

Take care of them first!

Take this!

Lily 16-ton Metal Basin Smash!

No way!

Our team attack has no effect!

We're doomed...

Don't stop the semaphore flags!

Keep waving them!

Everyone! Wave your flags to the rhythm of the drum!

Papillon Double Kick!

Now!

Rose!

Okay!

Red, up!

Red, down!

Rose Pinklish Dynamic!

May the crimson butterfly lead you to the roses and a blissful sleep.

I'll get you next time! Mark my words!

We did it! We did it!

Good.

Just as I suspected.

It was a fusion monster comprising Prince Shotoku and a Lightning Marten.

Prince Umayado, a.k.a. Prince Shotoku...

was a genius capable of listening to ten people at once and giving each a proper response.

Even as a UMA fusion monster, he couldn't escape that habit.

He tried to listen to the hundreds of semaphore messages all at once and became confused.

Call it habit, or a tragedy of genius...

Oh yeah, I've got to report this to everyone!

Chief, what should we call this UMA fusion monster?

Let's see...

If I were to give it a name, I'd call it...

Prince Umayado Ten!

Name: Prince Umayado Ten Prince Umayado Ten!

Name: Prince Umayado Ten

Akiba Wars! #3 Our Seven-Hour War

I'm glad we were able to save the town.

This time, the town won.

I have an improved opinion of the Akiba otaku now...
