    When watching "Hayate the Combat Butler",
[00:05] ---
    please keep the room bright
    and sit well away from the TV.
[00:08] ---
    That's right.
[00:16] ---
    Let us stop the chitchat now
[00:20] ---
    Come, let us quietly see this through

    If it's romance, look, it's already begun

    A butler is one who serves.
[00:55] ---
    A butler is one who waits upon others.
[00:58] ---
    A butler is a formal guardian,
[01:01] ---
    who is there to support his
    mistress in all aspects of her life.
[01:05] ---
    Yes!
[01:06] ---
    This is about a boy who fights
    and puts his life on the line for a girl...
[01:10] ---
    A super combat battle story!
[01:14] ---
    Today, we have an original
    episode drafted by Mr. Hata.
[01:17] ---
    Isn't that right?
[01:18] ---
    That's what I hear.
[01:21] ---
    Daichi ni kaketa bokura no yukue
[01:21] ---
    Our destination that we've
    staked upon this earth
[01:28] ---
    Tsuki-nukeru hayate no gotoku
[01:28] ---
    Like the sudden gale that cuts across
[01:34] ---
    Unmei ni makete
[01:34] ---
    Giving in to fate
[01:37] ---
    Shagami-komu nante tsumannai yo
[01:37] ---
    And hunkering down is no fun
[01:42] ---
    Sore ja kakko warui yo!
[01:42] ---
    That's just not cool!
[01:47] ---
    Uso kara deta makoto
[01:47] ---
    Many a true word is spoken in jest
[01:50] ---
    Koukai wa kitto mi kara deta sabi
[01:50] ---
    Regret is probably reaping what you sowed
[01:55] ---
    Zettai, nase ba naru!
[01:55] ---
    Where there's a will,
    there's definitely a way!
[01:59] ---
    Ooki na hamon ni nomi-komareteku
[01:59] ---
    As a great rippling wave swallows us up
[02:05] ---
    Karada nami ni makasereba
[02:05] ---
    Just let it take you
[02:12] ---
    Kanchigai no yume
[02:12] ---
    Dreams that are misguided
[02:15] ---
    Mato-hazure no kitai
[02:15] ---
    Hopes that are way off base
[02:18] ---
    Tsuyoku omoeba itsuka tsukameru sa!
[02:18] ---
    You'll grab them someday,
    if you just have conviction

[02:54] ---
    Damn it! Damn it!
[02:56] ---
    What is this game?!
[02:58] ---
    This game's got awfully crappy graphics.
[03:01] ---
    This is a PS3 game?
[03:03] ---
    No.
[03:04] ---
    But I'm tired of high-deflation games,
[03:06] ---
    so I felt like giving an older game a try.
[03:09] ---
    Huh. So you're sayin'
    modern games're lukewarm?
[03:12] ---
    Then wouldn't it be better
    to play outside or somethin'?
[03:13] ---
    That would be tiring.
[03:14] ---
    Well, yeah, but...
[03:16] ---
    Rather than do something so tiring,
[03:17] ---
    I want to play games from the good old days
[03:19] ---
    and get a renewed perspective
    on our current era of high-deflation.
SIGN     New Heroic Dragon Tale
[03:22] ---
    I obtained an old, rare game in
    an attempt to cleanse my tainted soul
[03:26] ---
    with the purity of
    something old school, but...
[03:28] ---
    It's more you-know-what than rare, though.
[03:31] ---
    Well, to put it simply,
    that's what it comes down to.
[03:33] ---
    I mean, I'd heard that it was you-know-what,
[03:36] ---
    but this game is even worse
    than I'd been led to expect.
[03:38] ---
    But isn't that the appeal of retro games?

    the movement's choppy,
SIGN    Hayate throws a punch!
SIGN    The Black-Hearted
     Santa swiftly dodges!
[03:44] ---
    and the screen's so cluttered,
    you can barely tell where you're at...

    The hell was that?!
    You makin' fun of Kansai people?!
[03:56] ---
    H-Hey, Sakuya, you don't have to
    get so pissed at a silly game.
[04:00] ---
    And you, your game play sucks,
    so don't blame it on the game
SIGN    And you,
    your game play sucks,

SIGN    YOU LITTLE SQUIRT!
[04:04] ---
    What did you say?!
[04:05] ---
    Why you! You're nothing but a crappy game!
[04:09] ---
    I'm never enterin' more than
    "AAAA" for a character name!
SIGN    Grab a hold of freedom
[04:15] ---
    Um, dinner is ready.
    What are you two both doing?
[04:20] ---
    Nothing! We were just consigning

SIGN    Melf me all da way
SIGN    One hour of
    gaming a day
[04:24] ---
    Pardon?
[04:25] ---
    Never mind that. What's for dinner?
[04:27] ---
    Green peppers stuffed with meat,
    among other things.
[04:28] ---
    What? But I hate green peppers.
[04:31] ---
    It's 'cause yer so picky
    that you're not growin' any taller.
[04:34] ---
    Nah, it's not just yer height...
[04:36] ---
    Wh-What are you trying
    to get at?! Don't stare at me!
[04:39] ---
    I didn't say anythin' yet.
[04:41] ---
    What d'you think I was referrin' to?
[04:49] ---
    The next morning!
SIGN    Butlers must be manly!!
[04:53] ---
    Why does the sun...
[04:58] ---
    ...rise every morning?
[05:02] ---
    What are you doing griping about
    nature in your first waking moment?
[05:06] ---
    The sun just doesn't get it!
[05:09] ---
    It's only when you miss deadlines
    and take breaks once in while
[05:12] ---
    that people will appreciate it
    when you actually have a chapter in print.
[05:15] ---
    A-Airing such an appalling statement
    on TV is a bit questionable...
[05:19] ---
    Anyway, please change quickly
    and prepare for school.
[05:23] ---
    Sakuya and the others
    are waiting, after all.
[05:26] ---
    Makita! Kunieda!
[05:28] ---
    All righty, I'm off to school!
[05:32] ---
    Hmph! School, school! What an annoying girl!
[05:34] ---
    Hmph! School, school! What an annoying...
[05:38] ---
    Tell me, Maria, is this déjà vu?
SIGN    When watching Hayate the Combat Butler,
    please keep the room bright
    and sit away from the TV
[05:40] ---
    I feel like I've seen this scene before.
[05:43] ---
    The thing is, it seems
    this episode takes place
[05:45] ---
    during the same time
    period as two episodes back.
[05:47] ---
    Hmm, zapping, huh?
[05:49] ---
    Anime sure has become
    a lot more complicated.
[05:52] ---
    After all, this is the era of DTT,
    EPG recording, digital coloring,
[05:55] ---
    outsourcing whole episodes overseas,
[05:57] ---
    the leaking of storyboards
    to online auctions, and manga ministers...
[06:02] ---
    Yes, it can't be helped.
[06:03] ---
    I don't like it, but I'll go along
    with that course of action.
[06:06] ---
    Especially since it's looking like
    I might not have to go to school.
[06:08] ---
    Oh, dear, so that's
    the tack you're taking this time.
SIGN    Oh dear
[06:12] ---
    "'All righty, I'm off to school!'
[06:14] ---
    "Sakuya left the room in high spirits,
[06:16] ---
    "but she suddenly got the urge
    to watch M-1 DVDs
[06:18] ---
    "and she u-turned back
    to second floor of the residence.
[06:19] ---
    "And click. When she opened the door
    to the gaming room, there she found..."
SIGN    Heh heh heh heh....
[06:28] ---
    You saw me. Bastard,
    you're not getting out of here alive.
SIGN    You~~~ saw~~~
     me~~~ Bastard...
[06:31] ---
    Makita. Kunieda.
[06:32] ---
    Yes, Miss!
[06:35] ---
    Nooo! Wait! Oh, you're going to break me!
[06:38] ---
    Eh? It's not a small fire?
[06:40] ---
    Wait! What's a game console doin',
    talkin' like it's totally normal?!
[06:44] ---
    This is horrible... I'm all sticky, tima.
[06:47] ---
    "Tima"? What's with that
    artificial-soundin' sentence endin'?
[06:50] ---
    Was that the cuttin' edge for yer time?
[06:53] ---
    Ah-ha, I bet you're the demon king
    inside that game or somethin'.
[06:57] ---
    What superhuman deductive powers!
[06:59] ---
    Tima! How did you know?!
[07:01] ---
    It seems she was really right.
[07:03] ---
    Ah, I knew it!
[07:05] ---
    Yeah, lemme guess.
    'Cause you're a crappy game,
[07:07] ---
    you've gotten shoddy
    treatment over the years
[07:08] ---
    and the resentment's been
    gradually buildin' up,
[07:10] ---
    and with yer rage over
    what happened last night,
[07:12] ---
    ya finally became aware as a monster.
[07:13] ---
    Yeah, that's 'bout what happened, right?
[07:15] ---
    Wh-What superhuman deductive powers, tima!
[07:18] ---
    I already said that.
[07:19] ---
    Besides, I may not look it,
[07:21] ---
    but I'm a Kansai person, who's so
    capable I even turned down Hakuou.
[07:23] ---
    And we don't got enough time.
[07:24] ---
    Makita! Kunieda! Shut that thing down
    before it gets up to no good!
[07:28] ---
    Go after its reset button or the power cord!
[07:30] ---
    Yes, Miss!
[07:31] ---
    N-Nooo! Don't come near me, tima!
[07:33] ---
    But that "tima" sentence
    endin' sure gets on my nerves.
[07:36] ---
    Wait... Huh?
[07:37] ---
    Tima!
[07:38] ---
    You will be punished!

    Um, don't you normally get sent back
    to the title screen or something?
[08:52] ---
    All right! Now that's decided,
    I better start by capturing the hero, tima!

    Push.

[09:24] ---
    M-Maria, what do you think of this?!
[09:26] ---
    Oh, my, it's fantastic!

[09:46] ---
    Demon King the Great Stygian of Abe (temp)
[09:50] ---
    gave herself over to lonely tears.
[09:52] ---
    They're awful. No one will notice me, tima.
[09:56] ---
    You will be punished!
[09:59] ---
    Oh, shut up, shut up, shut up!
[10:04] ---
    Huh? Has someone come, tima?
[10:07] ---
    No answer.
[10:08] ---
    What? After we came all this way
    to see Nagi's new butler?
[10:13] ---
    It can't be helped.
    As much as it breaks my heart,
[10:17] ---
    I guess we'll have to head out
    to Ekoda or something.
[10:19] ---
    Yes. And skip classes, of course.
SIGN    Sanzenin

    Uh... Ahem.
[11:03] ---
    Now, heroes, hurry up and
    overcome the trials and tribulations,

    I hear a boinging sound.

    the world of a game?!
[11:28] ---
    Come, heroes! After him!

    Hm, it cannot be helped.

    When you get down to it, it is my fault

    so I can fight with you!
[12:45] ---
    I'll be right there!

    Wah! No matter who I talk to,
    all they say is "nuu, nuu"!
[15:08] ---
    It appears this game is too much for us.
[15:11] ---
    It cannot be helped.
    Since it has come to this...
[15:15] ---
    I'm insanely fired up right now!
[15:20] ---
    King Scascher!
[15:44] ---
    Hello?
[15:45] ---
    Yes, it is me. Miki.
[15:47] ---
    I feel bad, but please come right away.
[15:50] ---
    I'm here.
[15:51] ---
    So?
[15:52] ---
    That was fast!
[15:53] ---
    Um, Hina, you didn't get attacked
    by anything weird on your way here?
[15:57] ---
    Huh? Oh, all kinds of things showed up,
[16:00] ---
    but just I drove them away with this.
[16:02] ---
    Oooh!
[16:03] ---
    So what in the world is going on?
[16:05] ---
    Would you explain it
    to me so I can understand?
[16:07] ---
    Do not let this shock you now.
[16:09] ---
    We are actually inside a cursed game
[16:11] ---
    and mumble, mumble, omitting the rest!
[16:15] ---
    What are you saying?
[16:16] ---
    There's no way such
    an unscientific thing would happen.
[16:18] ---
    What? Uh, but...
[16:20] ---
    This is one of those things.
    Which is to say...
[16:22] ---
    Hardcore gamer Nagi must be throwing
    a large surprise event for us.
[16:28] ---
    Yup!
[16:31] ---
    But those monsters
    and things sure were well-made.
[16:32] ---
    That's our student
    council president for you.
[16:34] ---
    A super pragmatist.
[16:34] ---
    I wonder what kind of mechanism
    they have that makes them move.
[16:35] ---
    In a way, it's an incredible
    talent that she's got.
[16:37] ---
    So, you three, don't tell me you plan
    to skip our afternoon classes.
[16:40] ---
    N-No.
[16:41] ---
    Then let's finish up here
[16:43] ---
    and get back to school
    before the end of lunch break.
[16:45] ---
    Oh, but I wonder where the goal is.
[16:50] ---
    H-How promising!
[16:52] ---
    Yes! That lady is truly worthy
    of being called a hero, tima!
[16:55] ---
    You will be punished! You will be
    punished! You will be punished!
[17:02] ---
    If that lady can make it here,
[17:04] ---
    maybe I can finally be
    free of this annoying skull
[17:05] ---
    and this meaningless "tima"
    sentence ending, tima!
[17:10] ---
    Push.
SIGN    Over here, tima!
[17:19] ---
    A full set of equipment suddenly
    came falling out of the sky...
SIGN    Over here, tima!
[17:26] ---
    I see, so we're expected to use these
    to get over to that tower.
[17:30] ---
    What?
[17:31] ---
    I-Is that what it means?
[17:32] ---
    All right! Then let's all
    go defeat the Demon King!
[17:35] ---
    Hakuou, fight!
[17:38] ---
    F-Fight!
[17:39] ---
    Fight!
[17:40] ---
    Hinagiku sure is serious.
[17:41] ---
    Fight!
[17:42] ---
    It seems we can leave the rest
    of the episode to Miss Katsura.
[17:45] ---
    Yes.
[17:46] ---
    Then, since this is the perfect opportunity,
[17:48] ---
    I think I'll read some mail
    cheering us on for once.

    "By the way, I was surprised when
    I saw the profiles on the official homepage.
[18:10] ---
    "I had no idea that you were
    just 17 years old, Maria."
[18:14] ---
    Y-Yes, I'm 17 years old. What of it?

    "Y-You seem rather composed

[18:38] ---
    I don't mean to repeat myself,
    but I am 17 years old.
[18:40] ---
    I'm bursting with freshness!
[18:41] ---
    It's not that I've aged before my time,

    it's just that I face endless
    hardship every day,
[18:44] ---
    thanks to some people.
[18:46] ---
    S-Sorry about that! We're
    always grateful that we have you!
[18:49] ---
    Right, Hayate?!
[18:51] ---
    Hey, why haven't you said anything?!
[18:54] ---
    Since the majority of the cast
    is comprised of stooge characters,
[18:56] ---
    I handle the straight man role
    to make things interesting.
[18:59] ---

    with the most common sense here.
