This story begins in 200X, one year after the horrific
"Shinjuku Kabukichou War," the battle against Regina Apis,
the leader of Dynasty, who plotted the takeover of Shinjuku Kabukichou.
Earth is being targeted...
Excuse me, mind if we take a photo?
That's a character from "Yamato", right?
No, I'm a Venusian.
Smith...
A Venusian? What series was that from?
I have no idea...
I get it now... They're "Men in Black"!
Sorry, we've got things to attend to.
What?!
Sorry for bothering you.
Let's go.
Okay...
I see. The best place to hide a tree is in a forest, huh?
I have other vital information.
The alien invaders will be attacking Japan.
We learned it will be at a place called Akiba.
Akiba? Why there?
Because it is their holy land.
Holy land? Could it be?!
You will help us, won't you?
As you may know, our role is to keep an eye on things...
We must avoid interfering with the affairs of other planets as much as possible.
You're going to sit back and watch?
There is a way to prevent the invasion...
Papillon.
That's right, the soldiers who possess the Sacred Flower Orb.
The Papillon Soldiers...
Mystery night explosion in Kabukichou! Miraculously, no one hurt
Take a look!
Mystery night explosion in Kabukichou! Miraculously, no one hurt This is Shinjuku's Kabukichou,
Mystery night explosion in Kabukichou! Miraculously, no one hurt Japan's largest pleasure district.
Mystery night explosion in Kabukichou! Miraculously, no one hurt Now, it is a desolate fire-ravaged wasteland!
Miraculously, there was not a single casualty.
You guys get your info from tabloid rags as well, don't you? Miraculously, there was not a single casualty.
You guys get your info from tabloid rags as well, don't you?
You watch too many movies.
Right here...
A witness at the scene happened to get this on video...
It's Regina Apis.
She's the one who created the organization called Dynasty
and used her "Four Generals" to wreak havoc on Kabukichou.
It really got us excited.
Our unit's on the short list for restructuring.
We can't survive by only dealing with religious cults.
But our hopes were dashed when Dynasty was all too easily destroyed.
By Papillon?
Papillon Rose...
Papillon Lily...
Papillon Margarette...
And Papillon Dahlia.
I said they were defeated all too easily, but it was a battle between superhumans.
It must've been an epic battle.
According to posts on internet forums, the word is that Papillon Dahlia perished.
So do you have an idea where those girls are now?
Sort of...
Ni hao. Anyong Haseyo. How do you do?
The three of them are currently in Akiba...
Tsubomi, a.k.a. Papillon Rose, works at a maid café...
Welcome home, Master!
...on the first floor of the maid spa "New Papillon".
Three hot teas, a peach-chocolate cake, strawberry milk cake,
and a jiggly custard. Is that right?
Coming right up!
Jiji> Papillon sure is great Yabu> I haven't been there recently Matsu> When I went there this morning, there were new girls Yabu> Really?! Tomio> Yeah. Mina and Shiori. Jin> I'm in love with Mina! Matsu> I'm in love with Shiori! Megane> Me too, me too! I love them!
Scored a smile from Tsubomi!
Yabu> I haven't been there recently Matsu> When I went there this morning, there were new girls Yabu> Really?! Tomio> Yeah. Mina and Shiori. Jin> I'm in love with Mina! Matsu> I'm in love with Shiori! Megane> Me too, me too! I love them! Marron> Scored a smile from Tsubomi!
Haou> She was faking it!
Gyaban> Her true smile is only reserved for me!
Jin> No, it's only reserved for me!
Logo> Tsubomi is always looking at me!
Yama> No, she's looking at me!
Nobita> Now, now... Tsubomi belongs to everyone.
Jaian> Everyone's things are my things. My things are my things.
Train Man> I love Tsubomi. I love Tsubomi. I love Tsubomi.
Tsubomi is the most popular maid there.
Come on, don't say it's over...
I have no choice. Your wife found out about us.
I'll leave my wife. I'll divorce her.
You and I are finished.
Anne, a.k.a. Papillon Lily, is enjoying having affairs with multiple men.
Shizuku, a.k.a. Papillon Margarette, is currently studying for college entrance exams.
Anne and Shizuku occasionally visit the maid café Tsubomi works at.
Welcome back to New Papillon!
What?!
You mean I can't see you? I was really looking forward to it...
Fine, I'll just have dinner with someone else.
Excuse me.
Did you call for me, Madam?
Cell phones are prohibited here, aren't they?
Do something about her.
Really? All right!
That's exactly why I love you!
Excuse me, Madam...
What is it?
Please put your cell phone away.
You're bothering the other customers...
They don't remember... You're bothering the other customers...
Don't remember?
They've forgotten...
Memories of being Papillon Soldiers, of their friends,
and even the fact that they battled Regina Apis.
Everything's gone.
Even though they see each other at that café?
I was dubious myself, but my investigation confirms it.
Is there something that's drawing them together?
Eat together nicely, okay?
Now then, time to see the cats at Shiraito Waterfall...
I've been looking for you...
Rama.
Hikaru?!
Hibiki?
You still haven't recovered from the loss of Flora, have you?
But we can't have you idling around forever.
I want you to awaken those girls' Sacred Flower Orbs and revive their Papillon Soldier powers.
Why?
Because the planet that Flora so loved is in danger...
Disgusting...
They've defiled our holy land!
I'm amazed that the Haniwa have become this advanced.
Yeah.
This is all Prometheus's fault.
It's his fault for bestowing knowledge upon the Haniwa.
No matter. A single photon torpedo will take care of them.
We don't have anything like that with us.
What?! Why not, Dark General?
Because you got angry with me and rushed our departure, Ran.
We came without weapons?!
Yes...
Not even one?
Yes, Sue.
We must have something.
We do! We've got soldiers!
These are housekeeping robots.
They have no fighting abilities.
Oh, that's right...
What should we do?
Shall we come back later?
We don't have time for that!
Don't you have any good ideas, Dark Advisor?
This is a good time to use the "forgotten ones" left behind by our ancestors.
Town formally known as Chikusa in Hyogo Prefecture
This area has apparently had numerous sightings.
There it is!
We'll teach you wretched Haniwa a lesson!
Next is a place called Hiroshima.
All right!
Proceed to Hiroshima after capturing the forgotten one!
Shoo! Shoo!
What's wrong, Mr. Manager?
It's a cat.
It keeps trying to come in no matter what I do.
Stop that.
Huh?
I'll let you handle this, Tsubomi.
What?!
Make sure you chase it out.
You mustn't come in here.
Tsubomi! Tsubomi!
What's the matter? Can't you hear me?
Why're you meowing so much? Are you hungry?
That's quite impressive, Dark Advisor.
Dark General! Commence plans to exterminate the Haniwa!
Yes, Ma'am!
It's me, Rama! Come on, please try to remember!
You don't like fried shrimp?
Sorry, but we don't have sashimi here.
What's going on?
It resembles a vinama...
Like the ones in Indian mythology?
It's said they were alien spacecraft with nuclear missiles.
Are you saying that it's piloted by aliens?
Aliens exist, after all!
Wh-what's that?!
That growl, that ape-like body, that distinctly triangular head...
First seen in 1970 in the Yuki district, Saijo Town, Hiba County, Hiroshima Prefecture
by a boy hunting for mushrooms...
Hibagon!
But there're snake-like things on its arms.
So Hibagon does exist...
That's definitely the unidentified creature...
...for which the town formally known as Chikusa in Hyogo offered a 200 million yen reward!
Tsuchinoko!
So Tsuchinoko does exist...
It's a UMA fusion monster!
It's a dream team!
If I were to give it a name, I'd call it...
Tsuchinogon!
Name: Tsuchinogon Tsuchinogon!
Name: Tsuchinogon
Go! Burn everything to the ground!
Our town...
Sorry, I can't hear you...
It's awfully noisy around here.
What is this?
What's going on?
I'm left with no other choice...
What're you doing?!
Rose...
Rose Papillon Power! Erection!
Rose!
Rama!
You remembered, Rose!
Yes!
The enemy is here, Rose!
Enemy?
You must protect the town from an alien attack!
Stop right there!
Aliens!
Akiba is the sacred town of our beloved otaku!
I will not allow you to desecrate it!
Over there!
Huh?
That's...
One year ago, she saved Kabukichou from Regina Apis's evil clutches...
That's right!
The legendary heroine!
Clad in sensual lingerie, I am the crimson butterfly of the night!
Papillon Rose!
How dare she stand out more than I do!
Fry her, Fuzzy!
What?!
Ouch!
What's the big idea, you dirty ape?!
What're you looking at?!
Rose!
Owowowowowow...
You asked for it! I have a weapon, too!
Rose Pinkish...
Rose! You can't use your previous weapon!
Huh?! Why not?!
H-how should I put it?
It's circumstances beyond our control...
What's that supposed to mean?!
Then how am I supposed to fight that thing?
Owowowowowow...
I've had enough of this!
Listen closely, Rose.
You can turn anything into a weapon by imbuing your spirit into it!
That is the true power of the Sacred Flower Orb!
Huh? What?!
Just grab anything!
Okay...
Now wish with all your spirit!
Spirits Insert!
Finish off that vulgar floozy, Fuzzy!
Papillon Rose!
Stop that! That hurts!
Don't grab so hard!
Stop it! Stop it!
Tsuchinogon grabbed Rose's breasts!
Wh-What?! What about breasts?!
Got pictures?! Tsuchinogon grabbed Rose's breasts! Wh-What?! What about breasts?!
Details please!
What the hell are you doing?! Hurry and finish her off!
Who did that?!
H-Hikaru?
My name is Torakage.
Torakage?
Save the greetings for later! Do it now, Rose!
Rose Pinklish Dynamic!
May the crimson butterfly lead you to the roses and a blissful sleep.
You did it, Rose!
Yeah!
Who could they be?
We'll withdraw for now.
You'll pay for this, Papillon Rose!
Torakage!
Torakage...
She's a goddess!
