*INTRODUCTION*
--------------
This is my first attempt at a module for my CARDS system. Please bear
with me the initial growing pains of this document.
I have no access to the SMJ RPG released by Studio Pacchi when this
document was written, but since CARDS doesn't really need such detailed
statistics, this module works fine without anyone having to read the SMJ RPG
manuals.
A lot of material contained in this document came from Ming's award-
winning SMJ page: http://pei.physics.sunysb.edu/~ming/anime/smj.html
and Hitoshi Doi's: http://www.tcp.com/~doi/
Do visit their pages if you want more information on the world of
Saber Marionette, or would like to know what the characters look like.
SMJ is an established series, so it shouldn't be that difficult to find
image galleries, sound galleries and story details on the web.
If you've noticed some errors, or would like me to adjust some of the
rules, or even if you just want to comment on this module, mail me.
-------------------
*SERIES BACKGROUND*
-------------------
Saber Marionette J is a TV series in the Saber Marionette universe created
by anime artist Akahori Satoru (NG Knight Lamune, Bakuretsu Hunter, Bakuen
Campus Guardress...) and featuring character concepts by Kotobuki Tsukasa
(Toshinden (the game)).
Saber Marionette consists of several manga/radio/TV/OVA series, each
loosely connected (but not always compatible) with the others:
1) The Saber Marionette J Radio show aired (1995) before the TV Series, and
took place sometime in the middle of the TV Series before episode 19.
The radio show is mainly comedic.
2) Saber Marionette J the TV series aired from October 1996 until March 1997.
It consists of some 25 episodes.
3) Saber Marionette R the radio show took place before video series. It's
events took place 200 years after SMJ and before the Video's. Otaru's
place is now taken by another character named Junior. This is a zany
comedy series.
4) Saber Marionette R OAV series is a 6 part original video animation
released in 1997. Cherry and Bloodberry died, and Lime disappeared
after the finale. This is the darkest and broodiest SM series so far.
5) Saber Marionette Zero is a manga (Japanese comic) series which takes place
a 300 years after Saber Marionette R the OAV. Women have started
reappearing in Terra-2. There are 8 volumes. Bloodberry was resurrected.
The sexadolls Brid, Edge, and Kyanny are still alive, as well as Face,
and the story is about a new and more powerful prototype saber marionette
called Zero. The finale revealed that Lime's consciousness was actually
split into different entities after SMR's ending. Zero is one of them.
6) Saber Marionette J to X, is the latest TV series, 1998. Little is known
about it at the time of writing.
------------------
*WORLD BACKGROUND*
------------------
The story of SMJ began in the 22nd century when over-population on Earth
forced mass migration of humanity off to the stars. One of the space arks
Mesopotamia malfunctioned upon arriving near planet Terra 2. Only 6
survivors, all male, made it to the planet surface. In order to procreate,
they used cloning to populate the planet with male-only copies of themselves
(most of the clones are mixed clones, only the rulers are pure clones).
(note that this isn't really very reasonable because we all know that human
males bear both an X and a Y chromosome in the 23rd chromosome pair, and it
should be rather straight forward, given their level of technology, to
produce clones with two X chromosomes, i.e. a female. Perhaps they're so
obsessed with androids that they forgot they can make real women instead
^_^)
The descendents of these 6 men built 6 city states on Terra 2: Japones
(Japan-like), Germania (Germany-like, also called Gartland), Petelburg
(Russia-like), Seian (or Xi-An, China-like), New Texas (U.S.-like) and
Romana (Rome-like?). Because there's no human female, people of Terra 2
invented female-looking androids called Marionettes, which are just
emotionless machines... mostly.
----------
*SCENARIO*
----------
SMJ's hero Mamiya Otaru lives in Japones 300 years after Mesopotamia. As the
name suggests, Japones resembles the old Japan on Earth. Otaru is just an
ordinary-looking boy except that he seems to treat marionettes with respect,
unlike other people around him. One day he accidentally stumbles upon the
old history museum of Japones. Inside, while he's gazing at a portrait of
Lorelei (a female scientist onboard the Mesopotamia), his reactions
triggered a trap underneath which brings him to an underground chamber where
he finds a marionette in suspended animation. Inevitably Otaru awakens the
marionette which instantly springs to life, I mean really springing to life
^_^; This marionette calls herself Lime and is only one of the three unusual
fruit-name-bearing marionettes that Otaru is destined to awaken in later
episodes (the other two being Cherry and Bloodberry). These three
marionettes are different from others because they have the otome kairo
(maiden circuit) which makes them behave like ordinary human girls. Together
the four of them will fight to protect Japones from invasion by the
ambitious Faust of Germania...
(i.e. when Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry aren't fighting each other over
Otaru ^_^;) There is however, a much more important mission awaiting Otaru
and his marionettes...
Saber Marionettes:
The Saber Marionettes were androids, but they were just like real girls
because they had the otome (girl) circuit in them. This circuit made the
androids have hearts like people, ane made them give kindness to ones that
they loved.
----------------
*CAMPAIGN STYLE*
----------------
Commentary by Ming:
"SMJ is not a show of super-intelligent plots, it's rather a wonderful story
about the simplest and purest of emotions: Love, Friendship and Loyalty.
In a word, this show, the story of which involves more non-humans than
humans, is ultimately about humanity, about what it means to be human..."
So, don't be too serious when you're running the campaign. This module is
more about interaction between characters than combat and exploration.
Have fun!
-----------
CHARACTERS:
-----------
"I may be stupid, but I'm the main character!" -Lime
Any of the characters listed below can be player characters, but I recommend
the 3 Saber Marionettes. Characters not under the players' control become
NPCs, and are controlled by the GM.
*SABER MARIONETTES*
BLOODBERRY
Model Number: JSM-03B
Height: 165cm (5'5")
Weight: 50kg (110lb)
Measurements: 95/60/88cm (37-24-35)
Combat Range: Unlimited
Sensor Range: 80km (50 miles)
Power: 7000hp
Bloodberry is the most "mature" of Otaru's marionettes. She's fully
knowledgeable in the carnal aspects of love and is always pressing Otaru
to marry her and do the thing ^_^; Bloodberry is also very strong
(in fact they say her strength was off the scale when she was first
awakened by Otaru in the royal palace, but seems that eventually she
was spoiled by Otaru and her ability leveled off with that of the other
marionettes).
Special ability (Jack/Queen/King): Strength
-Opponent must win the next round of combat or have the number of his
'Ace & 2-10' cards automatically reduced to one. This ability is valid
for one round against one opponent only. It must happen on the very
next round after declaration of use.
Hit Points (Ace & 2-10): 9 (allows very little level advancement)
CHERRY
Model Number: JSM-02T
Height: 150cm (4'11")
Weight: 43kg (95lb)
Measurements: 80/50/80cm (32-20-32)
Combat Range: Unlimited
Sensor Range: Entire Planet Surface
Power: 6500hp
Cherry is the embodiment of the perfect Japanese wife. She cooks very
well, is very lovingly tender, wears kawaii kimono-like outfit (complete
with giant "christmas ornaments" ^_^), is very handy with computers, is
highly rational and intelligent (except when she's in her love-struck mode,
which is quite often), and she can fight well too... Now what more can
a guy ask for?
Special ability (Jack/Queen/King): Desperation
-Whenever Cherry's hit points (Ace & 2-10) are reduced to 1 card, this
ability automatically comes into play without the need to use any (Jack/
Queen/King) cards.
-If Cherry wins during the next combat round, the opponent is automatically
defeated, but not destroyed.
-If Cherry loses during the next combat round, the opponent loses 5 hit
points as Cherry dies. (This happened in the SMR OAV.)
Recovery/Boost
-Using this ability does not count as an action. It can be used in combat
as well as during normal movement.
-Ability cards (Jack/Queen/King) may be traded for a target's hit point cards
on a 1 to 1 basis.
-The ability may only be used when Cherry is conscious and alive. It may not
raise her or anyone back from the dead/lost without their otome circuit.
Hit Points (Ace & 2-10): 5 (allows moderate level advancement)
LIME
Model Number: JSM-01R
Height: 155cm (5'1")
Weight: 45kg (99lb)
Measurements: 85/55/85cm (33-22-33)
Combat Range: Unlimited
Sensor Range: 90km (56 miles)
Power: 6800hp
Lime is the first otome-kairo-equipped marionette awakened by Otaru during
his accidental visit to the Japones History Museum. In many ways, Lime is
like the little sister among Otaru's marionettes. She's very naive and
dosen't know a lot of things about life. But perhaps that's also why Lime's
emotion is the purest among the three...
Special ability (Jack/Queen/King): Wildcard
-Lime has been known to do funny but effective things. They may backfire
though.
-Play the ability card against the GM's. If Lime's card has a higher value,
any single test/feat faced is automatically passed.
-If Lime's card is of equal value to the GM's card, Lime passes any single
test/feat faced but everyone else in her tile/area fails the test/feat
automatically and suffers the consequences.
-If Lime's card has a lower value, the single test/feat faced is failed.
Consequences resulting from the failed test/feat are doubled.
Speed
-Enables Lime to get a boost of as many extra turns as she has hit points
(Ace & 2-10) within a single turn.
-This ability may speed up combat, but won't improve the combat odds.
Beserker Mode
-Requires Lime to be at level 10, and having only 1 hit point (Ace & 2-10)
left in combat.
-Automatically wins combat with single foe. (Lime's eyes glowed green. This
happened in the SMR OAV.)
*HUMAN PLAYERS*
MAMIYA OTARU
Otaru is the seemingly unremarkable hero of the show. He used to be a normal
boy living in Japones until he met Lime in the Japones History Museum.
The only (and most important) unique quality of Otaru seems to be that he
treats marionettes just like other human beings, which is probably why he
was chosen to guide Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry...
Special Ability (Jack/Queen/King): Repair
-Recovers all damage sustained at the cost of 1 ability card per marionette.
In addition, the marionette and Otaru must stay in the same tile until the
repairs are finished. Repairs 1 cards per turn.
-If the marionette or Otaru leaves before repairs are done, all repairs
previously done are in effect, but Otaru will need to play another ability
card to continue repairs if he wants to the next time they meet in a tile.
-This can 'bring back a dead marionette' if the otome circuit is still
around.
Inspire Saber Marionettes
-If any of the 3 saber marionettes share the same tile as Otaru during a
feat/test/combat round, she may retest any failed test/combat once per
turn. This ability does not require the use of an ability card.
Hit Points (Ace & 2-10): 2 (Needs to be protected)
FAUST
The ambitious ruler of Germania, who wants to conquer the other city states
of Terra 2. Faust used to be a gentle boy when he's still small but his
father brainwashed him so that he can be a strong and ruthless ruler like
himself. There's a secret motive behind Faust's ambition however...
LORELEI
Female scientist onboard the Mesopotamia. She's in a sense the heart of the
otome kairo...
HANAGATA MITSURU
The self-proclaimed omake (extra) of the show ^_^ He's Otaru's rich and
spoiled friend (and later neighbor), and has a crush on Otaru (no, it's not
unusual for men to like other men in Terra 2 because there are no real women
around). Hanagata is the one who's always taking the beating, from foes and
friends alike.
Hit Points (Ace & 2-10): 8
OBIICHI KENOBI
Otaru's kenpou instructor. Is it just me who thinks that his name is a pun
of "Obi (one)wan Kenobi"? Actually his given name in kanji is normally
pronounced "akubi" and means "yawning" ^_^
TOKUGAWA IEYASU
Tokugawa Ieyasu 15th shougun of Japones. The kind and gentle ruler of
Japones.
*SABER DOLLS / SEXADOLLS*
Originally designated as sex servants.
Three cat-name-bearing otome-kairo-equipped Saber Dolls owned by Faust
(actually they're named after German tanks in WWII, which were in turn named
after big cats ^_^). The Saber Dolls aren't really bad by their own choosing,
but only through obedience to Faust. They will do whatever Fausts orders
them to, yet Faust doesn't treat them well. Rather sad characters really...
TIGER
PANTER
LYNX
-In play, the 3 saber dolls match well against the 3 saber marionettes:
TIGER - LIME (Speed)
PANTHER - BLOODBERRY (Strength)
LYNX (LUCHS in German)- CHERRY (Intelligence)
-They have more-or-less identical stats and abilities. Treat them as clones
of the 3 saber marionettes unless some special circumstances arise.
-Tiger and Lynx do not have Lime and Cherry's desperation adn beserk mode
as abilities.
*MARIONETTES*
Marionettes are all female in form. Most are servants and slave-robots.
TAMASABUROU
One of the two regal royal guard marionettes in Japones, responsible for
internal security. Superior combat abilities. Though Tamasaburou and Baikou
do not possess the otome kairo, they do behave like real women, just very
cool ones.
BAIKOU
Same description as Tamasaburou. In fact I don't know of any difference
between Baikou and Tamasaburou except their looks, because they always act
in unison.
Special Abilities (Jack/Queen/King): Sync Attack Mode
-Attack in unison. Attack (Ace & 2-10) cards are drawn and their values added
together for the duration of one combat turn per ability card used.
Hit Points (Ace & 2-10): 8 for each.
Damage sustained may be distributed to any of the two
as long as they are in the same tile at the time when
the damage was sustained.
LEOPARD
Appearing only after episode 21 of the TV series, Leopard belongs to Faust.
She is a monster marionette and extremely powerful.
Special Abilities (Jack/Queen/King): Special Toughness
-When all her hit points (Ace & 2-10) cards are reduced to 0, she loses one
ability card (Jack/Queen/King), and comes back to life with full hit points.
This means that she can't be defeated normally, so you'll need to defeat
her with special abilities.
--------------
MAIN LOCATIONS
--------------
Japones
One of the 6 city states on Terra 2, Japones resembles Japan and is very
peaceful, scenic and free. Tokugawa Ieyasu rules it.
Germania / Gartland
One of the 6 city states on Terra 2, Germania resembles a neo-gothic vision
of a very cyber-punk city (something like Blade Runner). Faust maintains an
iron grip over it, and the citizens are terribly oppressed.
----------------
DEATH & RECOVERY
----------------
-Rest recovers 1 hit point (Ace & 2-10) for human characters per turn.
This is counted as an action, and no movement prior to or after the
rest action may be performed in the turn.
-All Marionettes may not recover hit points through resting. They must be
repaired by someone who knows how to.
-When a human character's hit points (Ace & 2-10) are reduced to 0, he is
knocked unconscious and will die the very next round unless someone heals
him. He will remain unconscious until he recovers at least 2 hit points.
-When a marionette's hit points (Ace & 2-10) are reduced to 0, she is
immobilized and/or her otome circuit is stolen.
-A marionette may not function without her otome circuit, so it must be
recovered before she can be made fully functional again.

SMJ TV EPISODES
---------------
Playing with the SMJ TV episodes as plot-lines allows a bit more freedom for
the players and the GM. Just read the summaries to plan out quests, or to
refresh your memory if you've watched the series before.
Episodes 1-18 First half
19-25 Second half
Advance 1 player character's level by 1 after every episode.
It is relatively easy to design individual quests from these summaries by
Ming: (The original Japanese Character Titles Are Listed)
Episode 1
1ライム登場！オトコだけの惑星
Lime Enters! A Men-Only Planet
Introduction of Otaru, as a hard-working boy who doesn't treat marionettes
like dirt or toys. While Otaru's being bullied by the filthily rich and
spoiled Hanagata, he stumbles upon the old Japones History Museum. Quite by
accident (but not entirely), he discovers and activates Lime, who instantly
surprises him by coming to life like no marionette would... Thus begins
Otaru's excellent adventure.
Episode 2
お騒がせマリオネットガール
Trouble-making Marionette Girl!
Just a day in the life of a guy with a "broken" marionette.
Episode 3
ジャポネス城で大騒動！？
Major Unrest in Japones City?
After wreaking major havoc in the Japones royal palace, Otaru and Lime meet
Ieyasu, ruler of Japones. In the midst of their conversation Panther, one of
Faust's Saber Dolls, appears and wreaks further havoc. Quite accidentally
(but again not entirely), Otaru wakes up "the Goddess in the Bathroom"
(Cherry i.e. ^_^), who chases Panther away and follows Otaru home.
Episode 4
チェリーパニック ロマンス大作戦！！
Cherry Panics, Romance War!!
Cherry's in major love-sick mode and wonders how she may win Otaru's
heart... A gang of thuds tries to bully Cherry but Cherry beats them into

her and they will live happily ever after... Of course it doesn't turn out
exactly the way she expected.
Episode 5
ファウストの挑戦！！
Faust's Challenge!!
First direct challenge from Faust and his Saber Dolls. To save the day,
Otaru activates Bloodberry, who seems to have unlimited combat power and
easily scares the Saber Dolls away. Thus Otaru's stuck with three
marionettes.
Episode 6
熱烈不歓迎！ 空飛ぶラブアタック！
Most Unwelcome! Flying Love Attack!
To get Otaru to marry her and do the thing ^_^ Bloodberry constructed two
flying machines and goes flying with Otaru... right into a plasma cloud.
After crash-landing in the forest, Bloodberry tries to make up by offering
Otaru a nice meal of little P-chan (sorry forgot its name) Of course
P-chan's mom (who's not at the least little) isn't happy about it.
Episode 7
一攫千金はヌカ喜びでぃ！
Getting Rich Quick Makes a Happy Day!
In this episode we learn that:
Lesson One: Never give money to a marionette if your life depends on it.
Lesson Two: There are things more important than money
(at least if you like pickles.
Episode 8
恋占いバトルロイヤル！！
Love Fortune-Telling Battle Royal!!
To earn money, Otaru and his marionettes work in a horror house. Lime is
kidnapped accidentally by a gang of marionette-collectors, who had intended
to take Cherry instead. They want Otaru to bring Cherry to them in exchange
for Lime. Otaru goes alone by himself instead to rescue Lime...
Episode 9
ガルトラント、みんなでいけばこわくない！！
Gartland, There's Nothing to Fear if We Go Together!!
The ambitious Faust invaded Japones' neighboring state and is planning to
take Japones next. Otaru is told to sneak into Gartland to sabotage
Gartland's main computer. Lime is afraid that Otaru would be hurt so she
goes ahead alone to talk to Faust. Meanwhile the Saber Dolls are preparing
an ambush in the underground tunnels. Lime is caught by surprise when Otaru
appears with Cherry and Bloodberry. Somehow Otaru's marionettes couldn't
hold off the Saber Dolls, but fortunately Lime brought along her "little
friend" who saves the day by scaring everybody half to death (including
Cherry and Bloodberry ^_^)
Episode 10
潜入！！ 黒き帝国
Infiltrate!! The Black Kingdom
Otaru and company arrives in Gartland and are appalled by the suppression
and living condition of the citizens of Gartland. They try to help the people
by upseting the automated food rationing system, and made some friends along
the way. Unfortunately their plan to sabotage Gartland's main computer is
thwarted by Tiger when she disarmed all the bombs they planted. While making
their escape, Otaru and company are stopped and surrounded by Saber Dolls.
Episode 11
乙女回路で大勝利！？
Great Victory of the Maiden Circuit!?
Otaru and company escaped from the Saber Dolls through the help of some kind
Gartland citizens. They ask the visitors to help them destroy the main
computer so they can raid the food storage facilities. In return they'll
supply Otaru with bombs and info. Otaru accepted but in the end manages to
disable the main computer without bombs...
Episode 12
ファーストキスはプラズマの味！？
My First Kiss Tastes Like Plasma!?
Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry (and Hanagata) are feeling majorly jealous
because Otaru kissed Tiger (or was it Lynx) while trying to destroy the
main computer. While they're returning to Japones through the underground
tunnels, they stumble upon the abandoned hot spring resort and decide to
take a break. The marionettes all fell ill because of the plasma energy near
the resort. Otaru (and a reluctant Hanagata) has to fight the plasma storm
to save the girls.
Episode 13
小樽デビュー！！ 今君が輝く時！！
Otaru's Debut!! Now is the Time for You to Shine!!
Otaru and his marionettes are welcomed back in Japones as national heroes.
Otaru is blinded by fame and accepts an offer to be a celebrity star.
Poor Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry are being neglected as Otaru's busy with his
various engagements. At the end they decide that Otaru doesn't need them
anymore and there's no more reason for them to exist... A rather moving
episode.
Episode 14
迎春！！ 小樽杯マリオネットコンテスト！！
Spring Welcome!! The Otaru Cup Marionette Contest!
Rather silly episode about a marionette contest where Lime, Cherry and
Bloodberry compete for Otaru's heart, while the Saber Dolls in disguise do
the same. Very silly (even embarassingly so) gags.
Episode 15
女性復活！？ ローレライの謎
Resurrection of Female!? The Mystery of Lorelei
Otaru decides to have a sukiyaki fest with his marionettes.
(Actually, he's embarrased by the fact that he didn't hold one for them
because he is poor.) While they're shopping for ingredients, a puppy runs out
of the street in front of them and is about to be ran over by a truck. Much
to Otaru's surprise and anger, none of his marionettes does anything but
stand there holding on to the sukiyaki ingredients, so Otaru jumps out and
saves the puppy by himself. In the history museum, Ieyasu explains to Otaru
that his marionettes are like real girls and their emotions evolve as they
learn through Otaru's guidance. When the evolution is complete the ultimate
goal of their existence will be fulfulled... Meanwhile the Saber Dolls set
off explosive around the museum. Otaru and Ieyasu barely made it out alive
with the help of Otaru's marionettes, but Ieyasu wants to go back to save
the painting of Lorelei because it means a lot to him. Lime, Cherry and
Bloodberry learned their lesson and volunteer to save the painting for
Ieyasu. Though they failed to rescue the painting, Ieyasu thanks them and
says that he has gained three much more important treasures... Contains one
of the most moving moments in the show.
Episode 16
いきものってなあに？
What's a Living Thing?
Lime adopted a squirrel (which she names "Risuo" (squirrel) because she can't
think of another name ^_^) from a lumberjack and asks Otaru if she can keep
it. Otaru says it's a great responsibility taking care of a living thing,
which Lime doesn't completely understand but she insists anyway. Lime has a
fun time with Risuo until it started trashing things in the house and made
everybody mad. Otaru says Risuo has to go but Lime hides it instead. Perhaps
due to the confinement, Risuo fell very ill and Lime and Otaru try
desperately to find a doctor to heal it, with Lime learning a very important
lesson on the way... Another very moving episode featuring a marionette and
a squirrel.
Episode 17
やさしさと切なさと女らしさと
Grace, Sadness, Femininity
Otaru and his marionettes leave Japones to investigate unusual earthquakes
caused apparently by a huge underground object. This turns out to be a trap
by Faust, who sent his desperately loyal Saber Dolls to assassinate Ieyasu
while Otaru and his marionettes are gone.
Episode 18
城塞変形！！ 立てジャポネスガー！！
The Castle Transforms!! Stand Up Japones!!
Otaru and company were too late in saving Ieyasu... Meanwhile Faust's giant
sphere-like plasma-absorbing weapon attacks Japones, causing large-scale
chaos and panic. Otaru wants to fight it alone but meets the retreating
Saber Dolls instead. At the critical moment Lime and others arrive but due
to the plasma discharge, neither they nor the Saber Dolls can function
properly. The Saber Dolls won't give up because of their fierce loyalty to
Faust. This time it's the new and improved Baikou and Tamasaburou who come
to their rescue. Under B&T's instruction, Otaru and his marionettes return
to Japones royal palace to activate the secret weapon...
Episode 19
ティーゲル、愛の果てに・・・！！
Tiger, to Die for Love... !!
(Important plot changes occur during and after this episode)
The Saber Dolls were defeated and returns to an outraged Faust, who says
he'll abandon them unless they can get the otome kairo from Otaru's
marionettes. As they cannot live without Faust's love, they set off for
their desperate mission even while carrying the unhealed wounds from the
last battle. They and Otaru's marionettes have their fateful encounter in
the burnt-down Japones History Museum, where Tiger will make the ultimate
sacrifice for Love and Loyalty... Very sad episode that makes one really
feel for the poor Saber Dolls.
Episode 20
おもいはてなく こころはるかに
Feelings Will not Die, Though the Heart is Far Away
Lime was traumatized by Tiger's death and ran away. When Otaru found her,
someone had taken her otome kairo, leaving behind an empty marionette shell.
Otaru and others try desperately to look for the missing otome kairo but it
was taken by Lubence, the shadowy subordinate of Faust's... Meanwhile Lime
has to resolve her own internal conflicts within the otome kairo, with the
help of Lorelei...
Episode 21
闇と光のバーベキュー大会
Barbecue Picnic of Light and Darkness
Otaru's neighbors arranged a picnic to celebrate Lime's return. Because they
forgot to bring plates, Otaru goes off alone to a nearby pottery factory,
but something detained him while he's there. Poor Lime is worried about Otaru
and thinks he's angry with her... Meanwhile Faust plans another invasion of
Japones and this time he made a monster marionette which he calls "Leopard".
His plan is to take the otome kairo from Otaru's marionettes...
Episode 22
天空翔る想い
Thoughts of Flying in the Sky
While in the middle of a happy family meal, (you know how all families
behave when there are lots of children) Otaru is visited by Baikou who
says Otaru and his marionettes are wanted in the royal palace. Turns out
the leaders of Terra 2 want Otaru to assasinate Faust... Suddenly Leopard
appears and gives everybody a hard time. Just when it seems all's lost,
Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry's otome kairo reacted in sync.... This awakened
Mesopotamia which starts attacking Terra 2 indiscriminately...
Episode 23
ファウスト、歪んだ純心
Faust, Warped Pure Heart
Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry had a hard time holding off Leopard. First
Cherry's and then Bloodberry's otome kairo were taken by Leopard, but Lime
and Otaru manage to retrieve the otome kairo and put them back into Cherry
and Bloodberry, whereupon the three girls synchronized their otome kairo
(which finally reached their full potential) and defeated Leopard. Meanwhile
Mesopotamia continues bombarding Terra 2, causing an uprising in Gartland
where people overthrow the government... Faust, thus defeated, has no desire
to live on, but Panther and Lynx appear just when Mesopotamia is about to
deal the final blow... Panther dies.
Episode 24
乙女たちの旅立ち
Departure of the Girls
As everybody took refuge underground from Mesopotamia's attack, Faust and
Ieyasu (in the form of Tamasaburo) finally reveal the secret of Mesopotamia,
Lorelei and the otome kairo... To save Terra 2, Otaru and his marionettes
have to make the ultimate decision...
[The ending of this episode is very moving, as Otaru has to part with his
3 marionettes and never see them again. Likewise Lynx may never see Faust
again.]
Episode 25
いつもキミがそばにいる
I'll Always be By Your Side
Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry, together with Baikou, Tamasaburo and Lynx come
aboard the Mesopotamia to stop it from attacking Terra 2 and to....
Otaru's dream in this episode and compare it with his dream in the first
episode. Don't know if any deep meaning is intended though.
[This is a decent epsiode to end a wonderful series, though I think it's not
really fair to Lorelei... and the ending could have been done alternatively
IMHO... but guess they have to end it this way to make way for the upcoming
OVA series.]

EPISODE 9
Gartlant, Minnade Ikeba Kowakunai!
[Gartlant, if we go together, it's not scary!]
----------------------------------------------
Gartlant (ruled by Faust) was going to try to take over Japones. Otaru was
asked by the elder rulers to go destroy the computer in Gartlant so that
the Gartlant sabers wouldn't function any more. Otaru didn't like war, so
he refused. But the elders tricked Otaru into going (along with his three
saber marionettes).
Since Lime didn't know anything about a war, Otaru told her that it was
something where they would lose their loved ones. Lime became sad because
she didn't want to lose Otaru. So the next morning, Lime took off by
herself and headed for Gartlant to talk to Faust into stopping the war.
Luchs sent Tiger and Panther to wait in the underground tunnels, to
intercept Lime. Lime got lost and wandered around in the tunnels for a
long time, but a mouse that she had brought showed her the way toward
Gartlant. When Lime got close, Tiger and Pather faced her.
Meanwhile, Otaru, Cherry, Bloodberry, and Hanagata were headed for Gartlant
too. When they got close, they faced a wall of rubble in the tunnel, as the
ground wasn't too stable and their road had been blocked.
Bloodberry sensed that Lime was in trouble. Tiger and Panther had started
attacking Lime. So Bloodberry just broke through the wall of rubble and
created a path for them to walk though.
Panther was choking Lime and was about to finish her off. But Otaru and the
others appeared. Tiger fought Bloodberry, and Panther was going to attack
Otaru. Cherry and Lime both got in front of him to protect him.
Tiger pounded Bloodberry, and buried her in some rubble. Panther pounded
Lime. She also caused some rocks to cave in from the ceiling, forcing Otaru
and Cherry to retreat. But then Lime's mouse came out and Panther spotted
it. Panther had been in control, but she just freaked out. Panther (as well
as all of the other sabers except Lime) were afraid of mice!
[This is a brief instant in which Panther is sort of cute.]
Bloodberry (who was still buried in the rubble) told Cherry to use her
sensors to find some more mice. Cherry didn't want to do it, but that was
the only way that they would win. So Cherry spotted some mice in the level
above them, and blasted a hole in the ceiling of the tunnel. Then a lot of
mice came raining down at them. Panther and Tiger couldn't take it any more,
and they ran away. Bloodberry and Cherry just passed out. Lime enjoyed it,
saying that a lot of her "friends" had come.
Faust was very upset that the sabers from Japones had reached Gartlant. He
told Luchs to go deal with it.
---------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 14
Geishun! Otaru-hai Marionette Contest!
[Happy New year! The Otaru Cup Marionette Contest!]
---------------------------------------------------
It was the new year, and Cherry made some traditional food for everyone.
She fed some to Otaru, and then Bloodberry wanted to feed him too. Cherry
and Bloodberry started arguing. Then Lime (struggling to use chopsticks)
fed Otaru. The three marionettes started arguing...
Some of the towns people came in and told Otaru that there was going to be
a marionette contest. Then the three marionettes decided to join, to see
who is the best.
Meanwhile in Gartlant, there was a new commander in charge of the saber
dolls. Guttel ordered Luchs, Tiger, and Panther to capture Otaru's heart,
so they can get him (and his sabers) to work on their side.
The 12th Marionette contest began. Hanagata was the emcee, and Otaru was
one of the special guests. There were five judges from the five countries
(all of them except for Gartlant).
Contestant number 1 was Lime of Japones. For her trick, she twirled an
elephant on top of an umbrella. Lime got a score of 50 from the judges.
Contestant number 2 was Jacqueline of New Texas. Jacqueline was dressed in
a small vest, short shorts, and a cowboy hat. (Just like the Dallas Cowboys
cheerleaders.) Jacqueline did some pretty sexy poses, and held out her guns.
But these poses didn't do anything to catch Otaru's attention. Jacqueline
got a score of 40.
[Jacqueline was Tiger in disguise.]
Contestant number 3 was Cherry of Japones. Cherry sang a very childish song,
and got a score of 20.
Contestant number 4 was Lin Lun Lun from Shian. Lun Lun wore a china dress,
and acted very childish and stupid. (Just like Mihoshi of Tenchi
Muyou/Pretty Sami.) Lun Lun got a score of 6.
[Lin Lun Lun was Luchs in disguise.]
Contestant number 5 was Bloodberry of Japones. Bloodberry tried to do a
comedy skit, as a banana salesman, but her jokes weren't funny at all.
They didn't show her score.
Contestant number 6 was Ninotika Elvenof of Etelberg. She didn't talk
(in order to not give herself away), and just stood there looking exotic.
Ninotika looked a lot like Metel (from 999). Otaru was taken in by her and
stared at her. Ninotika got a score of 40.
[Ninotika was Panther in disguise.]
The second session of the marionette contest was a cooking contest. They
had to make a new year dish, ozouni. Cherry cooked as usual (very well),
Lime just started juggling the food, and Bloodberry just started drinking
sake (while burning the mochi). The three saber dolls didn't know how to
cook either.. Ninotika put some hot powder, but since it wasn't hot enough,
she put some gunpowder in it.
Cherry got a perfect score of 50 for her cooking. Lime presented a giant
bowl with an elephant in it, and got 39.
[a joke: ozouni = o zou (elephant) ni (cooking)]
Bloodberry got 6 points with her burnt mochi. Lun Lun got 8 with some very
grotesque cooking. Jacqueline was going to get a rotten score, but she
posed and blew a kiss to the judges, so the judges changed their votes..
and she got a 46. Ninotika's cooking exploded when the judges ate it, so
she got a 5, the minimum score.
The final competition was an ice skate board race, where they skated around
the castle (on the frozen moat), get a note, and return the object that was
specified on the note.
As they were skating along, Ninotika tried to cheat by using some jet power,
but she went crashing into the wall as she went too fast and out of control.
Then she got mad, and went back to her own self (as Panther). She threw a
giant boulder down at the other racers, but Lime blocked it and caused the
boulder to explode.
After the explosion cleared, Otaru's marionettes discovered that the other
contestants were the Gartlant saber dolls. Guttel was watching, and ordered
the saber dolls to retreat. Then Otaru's marionettes grabbed the saber
dolls, twirled them around, and tossed them away (very easily.. too easily).
Then the three continued the race, while arguing which one was going to win.
-----------------------------
EPISODE 15
Nazo no Shoujo Lorelei
[The Mysterious Girl Lorelei]
-----------------------------
[flashback scene]
A young Ieyasu (looks just like Junior from Saber Marionette R), Faust,
and Dr. Lorelai were on a space ship.. Ieyasu met Lorelai for the first
time, and noticed how beautiful she was.
[end of flashback]
In the Japones historical museum, Ieyasu was staring at the picture of
Lorelei.
The three marionettes were walking behind Otaru. They were talking out loud
that they were going to eat sukiyaki. They had never eaten it before, so
they were very happy. Otaru wanted them to shut up, because it was very
embarrassing.
(Otaru didn't want everyone to know how poor he was..)
Finally Otaru told the marionettes to go off and buy the food for the
sukiyaki. So the marionettes went off. At each of the stores, the store
owners gave a little bit extra to the marionettes, because they liked them
so much.
After getting the groceries, the three marionettes walked behind Otaru.
When they came to a bigger road, they saw a puppy crossing the road. But
there was a big truck coming right toward it. The truck wasn't slowing
down, and the three marionettes just watched the situation.. At the last
minute, Otaru dove and grabbed the dog.
After the truck went by Otaru went back to his marionettes and yelled at
them. He couldn't believe that they didn't try to save the dog.
Otaru: Why didn't you save the dog?
marionettes: We would have to throw the groceries onto the ground.
Otaru: What is more important?
Bloodberry: The sukiyaki. The sukiyaki that YOU eat. I don't want to see
you eating dirty food.
Cherry said that she recorded this incident in her data, so that she
wouldn't make the same mistake over again. But Otaru couldn't believe it.
Just then Baikou and Tamasaburou came, and told Otaru that Ieyasu wanted to
see him.
Otaru and the marionettes went to the Japones historical museum to see
Ieyasu.
They all went to the picture of Lorelei, and looked at it with Ieyasu.
Ieyasu told them that it was a picture of a human girl. Lime, Cherry, and
Bloodberry all noticed that each of them had some similarities with Lorelai.
Then Otaru stared at the picture and started to blush. When the marionettes
pointed it out to him, he told them to wait outside.
Otaru told Ieyasu about the dog incident. Ieyasu took Otaru to the basement,
and they stopped in front of a large tube. This was what Ieyasu wanted to
show Otaru.
In Gartlant, a mean looking guy with goggles was with Faust. They were
talking about a strategy to attack Japones, and torture Ieyasu.
In the basement of the Japones historical museum, Ieyasu and Otaru were in
front of a large tube, which contained a tree, and three super deformed
figures of Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry (almost as if they were little
monkeys). Ieyasu said that Lime has grown 56%, Cherry 65%, and Bloodberry
58%. Otaru was surprised.
Otaru: Why did the marionettes come to me?
Then Ieyasu told Otaru about the hope of mankind, the resurrection of women.
He said that Terra 2 didn't have a future without human females. Ieyasu
said that when Lime and the marionettes fully grow, the human females will
be revived.
Otaru didn't understand..
But then some bombs went off, and the museum caught on fire. Otaru and
Ieyasu tried to get out, but the fire was raging all around them.
The marionettes were outside and saw the fire. They quickly tossed the
groceries and went in for Otaru. They easily went though the fire and saved
Otaru and Ieyasu.
When they got out Otaru and Ieyasu were all right, but Ieyasu ran back
toward the flames, shouting, "Lorelai's picture!" Otaru grabbed him and
tried to hold him back. But Ieyasu cried and cried. The three marionettes
saw this, and Lime asked, "Otaru, can I go? I want to go get it." The
marionettes had very serious looks on their faces.
Then Otaru said, "Go get it!" and the marionettes ran into the flames.
The museum burned down, and the marionettes were all brown and burnt.
Ieyasu was looking at the remains of the picture..
Lime: I'm sorry.
Then Ieyasu went to the three marionettes and hugged them.
Ieyasu: Thank you. I lost Lorelai's picture, but I gained a better
treasure.. three of them.
Otaru: What should I do?
Ieyasu: Just do as you are doing now. They are growing for sure.
Meanwhile, Faust was standing in front of a picture of Lorelei.

Episode 1
Kasahari Nagaya no Amai Seikatsu!?
ｻｱﾄ･､ﾄｹｲｰ､ﾎｴﾅ､､ﾀｸｳ陦ｪ｡ｩ
----------------------------------
This Saber Marionette J story takes place 200 years before Saber
Marionette R. This was a world without women. There were only men.
The population increased by cloning, and there were only androids with the
faces of girls. But one day a miracle occurred. The otome kairo
(girl circuit) was invented.
This story takes place in one of the six cities on Terra 2, Japones.
Mamiya Otaru, 16 years old, was sleeping.
Lime came and woke up Otaru with a flying body attack. Otaru got mad at
Lime for waking him up so roughly. Lime was supposed to be a high performance
saber marionette.
Otaru: Lime, what's one plus one?
Lime: Three.
Otaru: When you wake up someone who is sleeping, you can't use a flying body
attack.
Lime: Really?
Otaru: Yes. When you want to wake up someone who is sleeping..
Bloodberry [sexy voice]: You have to get naked and get into the bed and blow
into his ear.
Bloodberry: Otaru, good morning.
Otaru: Bloodberry, don't take your clothes off!
Bloodberry was another saber marionette.
Cherry [in a very cute voice]: Master, your breakfast is ready.
Otaru: Thank you.
Cherry: You don't have to say that. I'm very happy this way.
Cherry was a nice and gentle saber marionette.
Cherry: Otaru, let's eat together.
Lime: Otaru, let's play.
Bloodberry: Otaru, let's leave those kids alone and do something fun. I'm
good..
The saber marionettes wanted Otaru for themselves.
Hanagata: Get out of the way, you machines! Otaru is going to have a skin
relationship with me, Hanagata Mitsurugi.
Otaru: Hanagata, don't say something so gross.
In this world since there weren't any girls, it was normal for guys to like
guys. Actually Otaru was strange for liking girls.
Then the saber marionettes and Hanagata started fighting over Otaru.
Meanwhile in another location, Faust said that he would make Japones his. He
had three beautiful androids that worked for him.
-------------------------
Episode 2
Futarikkiri no Orusuban!?
ﾆｿﾍ､ｭ､熙ﾎ､ｪﾎｱｼ鯤ﾖ｡ｪ｡ｩ
-------------------------
Faust was planning to take over Japones. But there was something in his way.
Tiger, Luchs, and Panther were the sexadolls with the otome kairo, that
worked for Faust. They were strong enough to take on just about any other
saber. Tiger had the speed, Luchs had the intelligence, and Panther had the
strength.
Faust called Muenchhausen, and told him that he would let the sexadolls work
for him. The sexadolls complained that said that they didn't want to work
for anyone besides Faust. Then Faust got angry took out his whip. The
sexadolls asked to be whipped.. "Aan.. Aan.. Ooh.. Uun."
Faust told Muenchhausen to take the sexadolls to Japones, and to kill Mamiya
Otaru and the three saber marionettes.
Otaru gave Bloodberry and Lime a package to bring to the castle. Bloodberry
wasn't really enthusiastic about it, but she said that she would do it. Then
she said to Otaru, "When I get back I'll accept the 'award'.."
Bloodberry told Cherry not to do anything with Otaru, and Cherry said that
she was just going to cook for him.
As they were going to leave, Lime kissed Otaru. Hanagata was watching and he
was shocked. Bloodberry and Cherry were shocked too, but they quickly said
that they wanted to kiss Otaru too.
Muenchhausen and the sexadolls were already at the secret hideout in the
underground of Japones.
The sexadolls wanted to get it over with quickly. But Muenchhausen didn't
want to do it with just strength. Then the sexadolls told Muenchhausen that
they would kill him to, if he got in the way. But Muenchhausen took out a
secret weapon. It was an identical voice device. When Muenchhausen used the
device to talk, he sounded just like Faust, and the sexadolls just melted
and couldn't do anything about it.
The first strategy was with Luchs.
Bloodberry and Lime had left, so Cherry told Otaru that she would start
cooking lunch. But actually Cherry was very happy to be alone with Otaru.
Inside Cherry's imagination was...
Otaru: Cherry, thanks for all of the great food. But there's something that
I want to eat more..
Cherry: What is it master?
Otaru: It's you, Cherry.
Cherry: You shouldn't.. but you can. My clothes.. Ah! My underwear.. Ah! No!
Don't turn out the lights!
But then Hanagata Mitsuru came into Cherry's imagination. They started
fighting, and Otaru came to them.
Then a girl screamed out for help, and came running to them. Luchs came to
Otaru, and Muenchhausen came after her.
----------------------------------
Episode 3
Miesuita Wana ha Koi no Hajimari!?
ｸｫ､ｨ､ｹ､､､ｿ讚､ﾏﾎ､ﾎｻﾏ､ﾞ､遙ｪ｡ｩ
----------------------------------
While Otaru and Cherry were at home, Luchs and Muenchhausen came to them.
Luchs asked Otaru to help her, as she was being chased by Muenchhausen.
Otaru just told Muenchhausen to leave her alone, and Muenchhausen ran off.
Luchs thanked Otaru for saving her. Luchs said that she had ran away from
Muenchhausen because he had treated her badly.
Meanwhile Muenchhausen was thinking that everything was going according to
his plans. Since Otaru was such a nice guy towards marionettes, he would be
taken in by Luchs.
Cherry and Hanagata knew that the marionette was Luchs, and thought that
this might be some kind of act. Luchs didn't want to go through with this,
as it was so obvious.
But Otaru told Luchs that he would help her. Luchs was surprised and asked
Otaru if he didn't think there was something fishy about it. Otaru said that
he didn't think so.
Cherry and Hanagata were disappointed in Otaru, but that was also one of the
reasons why they liked him.
Then Luchs thanked Otaru. When Otaru asked for her name, Luchs told him, and
Otaru said, "Luchs, I've heard that somewhere.." But Otaru just let it go at
that.
When Otaru said that he was hungry, Luchs said that she would cook for him.
Cherry was very upset.
Otaru ate Luchs' cooking and said that it was delicious. Luchs was a little
touched by Otaru's smile and kindness. Her otome kairo started beating. She
started getting red. But Luchs told herself that she was a slave to Faust.
Otaru asked Luchs if everything was all right. He felt her forehead. But
since she was a marionette, she couldn't have been sick. Otaru said that he
felt that the saber marionettes with the otome kairo were just like humans.
Cherry got upset and yelled out, "How long are you going to stick to master!"
Hanagata added, "Get away from him!"
Then Luchs told Otaru that her friends were still caught by Muenchhausen, and
asked for his help in getting them free. Otaru said that he would help her.
Cherry and Hanagata said that they would go with Otaru and Luchs. They went
to the underground passages of Japones.
Meanwhile Bloodberry and Lime got home and found Otaru and Cherry missing.
Bloodberry thought that Cherry had taken Otaru out. So Bloodberry and Lime
went out to look for Otaru.
When Otaru and the others were in the underground passage, some rocks stared
falling toward them from above.

Sorry, no Episode 4

Episode 5
Ayashii Ayashii Shoutaijou
--------------------------
Muenchhausen had another plan to go after Otaru. But the sexadolls said that
they just wanted to go after Otaru on their own. Then Muenchhausen used his
voice device again to tell the sexadolls to listen to Muenchhausen.. and he
also make them bark like a dog.
Muenchhausen went off to take a nap, and the sexadolls went off to put his
plan into motion. Luchs was thinking to herself that she would have to fight
Otaru again. She couldn't understand why she felt for him so much, when she
should only have feelings for Faust.
Meanwhile Otaru's saber marionettes were arguing again.
Bloodberry: Let's leave those kids alone and do some morning exercises..
Otaru: What are you doing?
Bloodberry: Adult exercises..
But Cherry argued.
Cherry: What are you talking about! We are going to eat some healthy
breakfast. Get your ugly breasts out of the way!
Bloodberry: Shut up, you flat chested girl!
Cherry: What! I'm normal. It's your cow size that's abnormal.
Lime: But big is better..
Cherry: Lime, don't say any excess chacha.
[chacha = simple and not important comments]
Lime: Chacha? What's that? Akazukin? [Azukin ChaCha is now airing in the
Cartoon Network]
Cherry: Don't be so picky!
Bloodberry: You two can just go do your comedy act. Otaru, let's play.
Then the marionettes started arguing, and Hanagata came.
While they were all arguing, Otaru got a mail. It was an invitation for a
theme park, Japones Germa Village.
---------
Episode 6
??
---------
Otaru got an invitation to an amusement park. He wondered why he got it.
Lime said that she wanted to read it and started reading it.
Lime: Ha.. nete.. na..
Then Lime spazzed out.
Cherry: She over used her artificial intelligence and shorted out.
Bloodberry: She can't even read standard kanji. She's really stupid.
Cherry: She's only got 2 bits working.
Then Hanagata took the invitation and started reading it. Otaru and the
others were invited to a new amusement park.
Cherry, Bloodberry, and Hanagata thought it was very fishy, but Otaru
thought that he was lucky to be chosen to be the first one to go to the
amusement park. Lime said that she wanted to go, and play with Otaru.
Cherry and Bloodberry didn't want to leave Lime alone with Otaru, so they
dragged Otaru to the amusement park. Then Lime and Hanagata went after them.
When they all got to the amusement park, they were surprised that it was so
big. Lime wanted to eat ice cream. Cherry wanted to ride the romantic ferris
wheel with Otaru. Bloodberry wanted to do some adult exercises. Hanagata
wanted to ride the merry go round. They all tried to get Otaru for
themselves.
Muenchhausen and the sexadolls were surprised that Otaru actually came, and
thought that he was very stupid.
Panther: He's so stupid. He should use his brain sometimes.
Muenchhausen told the sexadolls to put his plan into motion.
Just as Otaru and the others were going to play some more, the ground
underneath them shook and split open.
------------------------------------
Episode 7
Taiketsu. Ai to Iroke to Kairiki to.
------------------------------------
Otaru and the others fell into the ground at the amusement park. But they
got separated. Otaru called out for the saber marionettes, but there was no
answer. Then some amusement park androids came with machine guns and other
weapons, and started attacking Otaru.
Lime was by herself too.
Lime: Otaru! Where are you? Are you playing hide and go seek?
Then Luchs came and Lime asked who she was.
Luchs: I'm one of the sexadolls, Luchs. Don't you remember, dummy?
Lime: I'm not a dummy, I'm stupid.
Then Luchs started to attack Lime.
Luchs: What's 2 + 8 + 6?
Lime: Umm.. 2 + 8 + ..
Then Luchs hit Lime while she was thinking.
Luchs: What's 4 + 1?
Lime: Eh? 4 + 1 is..
Luchs hit Lime again.
Meanwhile Cherry was running around looking for Otaru. Tiger appeared and
started attacking.. Tiger just said some dirty and perverted words
(censored for the radio). Cherry didn't like those kinds of things so she
cried out, "Stop it!"
Meanwhile Otaru got away from the androids. But then Panther came, and Otaru
realized that this was all a trap.
Panther: I don't like the baron's stupid plans. I'll just pound you with my
power.
Just as Panther attacked Otaru, Bloodberry appeared to save him.
Bloodberry: I'll accept my reward from you later, Otaru.
Then Pather and Bloodberry started fighting. But because of the power of the
battle, the ground shook once again, and they fell deeper into the ground.
------------------------------
Episode 8
Otokono Yasashisa, Onna no Iju
------------------------------
Since Panther and Bloodberry were fighting and caused too much commotion,
they and Otaru fell into a hole in the ground. They crash landed, and
Panther was injured.
Panther: I should have been more careful. You can escape if you want.
But Otaru didn't escape and went to look after Panther's injuries. Panther
couldn't believe it. Otaru looked at it and said that he would be able to
fix Panther's legs.
Panther: I'm the enemy. I came to kill you.
Otaru: Don't move!
Panther: Why are you helping me?
Otaru: I can't leave an injured girl alone.
Then Panther said to herself: What is this feeling in my heart? I've never
felt this way, even to Faust. I'm a servant to Faust. He is everything to me.
I'm sexadoll Panther.
Panther said to Otaru: Stop that. I'm going to kill you.
Otaru: I told you not to move!
Panther: Stop it! Don't play tricks on me.
But Otaru finished fixing Panther's leg.
Otaru: That's just an emergency fix. Get it fixed for real later.
Panther: You're stupid.
Then Muenchhausen appeared. He had a mecha and said that he would finish off
Otaru. But Bloodberry came and protected Otaru.
Bloodberry: Now you owe me two rewards.
Meanwhile Lime was still fighting Luchs.
Lime: Now I understand. I won't lose.
Luchs: What's 7 + 12?
Lime: 8!
Lime attacked Luchs, and pounded her away.
Luchs: You're way off!
Meanwhile Cherry and Tiger were still fighting.
Cherry: I'm not a child any more! I'm an adult girl!
Then Cherry pounded Tiger away when Tiger showed Cherry an uncensored
imported porno book.
Bloodberry was fighting Muenchhausen, but she was running out of energy. She
told Otaru to escape by himself, but Otaru didn't want to.
Then just as Bloodberry cried out, Panther helped out and protected
Bloodberry. Otaru was surprised.
Panther: Be quiet, stupid.
Then Bloodberry pounded Muenchhausen away.
Otaru: Panther..
Panther: It's just this time. See ya!
Then Muenchhausen told Panther to retreat.
After they left, Lime and Cherry arrived. Bloodberry said that it must have
been the power of love that made her able to defeat Muenchhausen.
Otaru: Thanks Bloodberry.
Bloodberry: Then I'll accept the reward of love. Right here.. Lets go behind
those rocks.
Then Lime and Cherry tried to get into it too.
----------------------------------------
Episode 9
Machikado no Deai, Oyakusoku no Sesshoku
----------------------------------------
Otaru, Lime, Bloodberry, and Cherry were eating the food that Cherry had
cooked. Otaru said that it was very good, and Cherry was very happy. But
Lime wasn't eating much.
Otaru: What happened, Lime? Lime!
Lime: What? What happened?
Otaru and the others had no idea what was wrong with Lime.
Otaru said that they would all go out to play to try to cheer up Lime.
Lime was wondering to herself how she can become closer friends with Otaru.
Meanwhile Muenchhausen and the sexadolls were planning another attack on
Otaru. Muenchhausen said that it was Tiger's turn. But Tiger said that she
didn't want to do any of Muenchhausen's stupid plans. She said that she
would just go pound Otaru, and said, "Let's go!" to Panther and Luchs. But
Panther and Luchs were not very enthusiastic. Tiger wondered what was wrong,
but she said that she would go.
Then Muenchhausen used his voice impersonator to tell Tiger to follow his
plans.
Tiger: I know that it's fake, but my body can't resist. I won't fail like
Luchs and Panther. I'll kill Otaru for sure.
Luchs: Ah Otaru-sama, when I think of you, my otome kairo goes..
Panther: I feel pressured. This feeling.. What..
Otaru and the sabers were walking down the street. But Lime was still
feeling depressed. Then Otaru said that he would find new clothes for the
sabers.
They were going to go into a store. Then Otaru accidentally bumped into a
woman who was carrying a vase. The woman dropped the vase and broke it.
The woman started crying, saying that she had worked hard and saved a lot
of money to buy this vase for her master.
Cherry and Bloodberry knew that this woman was the sexadoll Tiger, and knew
that it was a trap. Hanagata even told Otaru that it was a trap. But Otaru
said that he was very moved by this. He said that he would by another vase
for her.
Lime also heard this story and decided to buy a present for Otaru, so she
can become closer to Otaru.
----------
Episode 10
??
----------
Otaru said that she would buy the vase for Tiger. (Otaru had caused it to
break, and Tiger was going to give it as a present for her master.) Cherry
and Hanagata couldn't believe that Otaru fell for this trap.
Otaru asked Tiger when her master's birthday was, and Tiger said that it
was in one week. So Otaru said that he would work hard this week to get the
money for her.
Otaru told the others to go home because he was going to find work, but
Cherry said that she would work too. Otaru said that it was his problem,
but Cherry and the others said that they were his saber marionettes so
they would work with him.
Tiger: What an idiot for falling for such a stupid trick. But when I look
into his eyes, my otome kairo.. What am I saying! I belong to Faust. I
can't fail like Luchs and Panther.
Muenchhausen, Luchs, and Panther were watching this.
Muenchhausen: Ha, ha, ha. The first phase of the plan worked.
Luchs: Otaru, as expected you fell for it.
Panther: But I feel something warm in his stupidness.
Muenchhausen: Ok, we'll leave this for Tiger and move on to the second
phase of the plan.
Tiger took Otaru and the others to a tea house, where her master
Muenchhausen (who was supposedly in disguise) was waiting. Muenchhausen
told them that he had been looking for some part time workers. So Otaru
agreed to work there.
Tiger asked Otaru and the others to keep quiet about the vase. She told
them that she wanted to surprise her master with the present.
Otaru: I understand. When one receives a present, it feels much better if
it's a surprise.
Then Lime thought to herself that she was going to keep her present to
Otaru a secret.
Then as Muenchhausen was leaving, he told Tiger not to kill Otaru until he
gives her the order. Tiger couldn't understand, but Muenchhausen said that
he wanted Otaru to suffer until the end.
Tiger: Shit that Muenchhausen. Well, I got Otaru to fall into this trap.
I'll kill him for sure. I'm not like Luchs and Panther. This is a
stupid trap, but I'll succeed for sure.
