[00:04] ---
    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.
[00:11] ---
    After a quick bit of fan service,
[00:14] ---
    we begin with a summary of the last episode.
[00:16] ---
    Accompanied by his maid,
    a mysterious boy has come to see Nagi.
[00:21] ---
    What might his true identity be?
[00:27] ---
    This boy is Wataru Tachibana
[00:30] ---
    and he is Nagi's... betrothed.
[00:34] ---
    Huh?
[00:35] ---
    That is all. End of summary.
[00:38] ---
    That's no good, mister.
[00:40] ---
    Ya gotta get over yer bashfulness!
[00:41] ---
    Ya can't win scenes for yerself like this.
[00:43] ---
    I-I see...
[00:46] ---
    Listen up. What yer character
    lacks is punch, Mr. Klaus.
[00:49] ---
    The comedic drive to step forward,
    even if ya hafta push people aside.
[00:54] ---
    Okay, here goes.
[00:55] ---
    Oh, my glasses, my glasses...
[00:57] ---
    My glasses, my glasses,
    my glasses, my glasses...
[01:02] ---
    A butler is one who serves.
[01:05] ---
    A butler is one who waits upon others.
[01:08] ---
    A butler is a formal guardian,
[01:11] ---
    who is there to support his
    mistress in all aspects of her life.
[01:15] ---
    Yes!
[01:16] ---
    This is about a boy who fights
    and puts his life on the line for a girl...
[01:20] ---
    A super combat battle story!
[01:26] ---
    I hope I get more screen time.
[01:27] ---
    That's all for today.
[01:31] ---
    Daichi ni kaketa bokura no yukue
[01:31] ---
    Our destination that we've
    staked upon this earth
[01:37] ---
    Tsuki-nukeru hayate no gotoku
[01:37] ---
    Like the sudden gale that cuts across
[01:44] ---
    Unmei ni makete
[01:44] ---
    Giving in to fate
[01:47] ---
    Shagami-komu nante tsumannai yo
[01:47] ---
    And hunkering down is no fun
[01:52] ---
    Sore ja kakko warui yo!
[01:52] ---
    That's just not cool!
[01:56] ---
    Uso kara deta makoto
[01:56] ---
    Many a true word is spoken in jest
[02:00] ---
    Koukai wa kitto mi kara deta sabi
[02:00] ---
    Regret is probably reaping what you sowed
[02:05] ---
    Zettai, nase ba naru!
[02:05] ---
    Where there's a will,
    there's definitely a way!
[02:08] ---
    Ooki na hamon ni nomi-komareteku
[02:08] ---
    As a great rippling wave swallows us up
[02:15] ---
    Karada nami ni makasereba
[02:15] ---
    Just let it take you
[02:22] ---
    Kanchigai no yume
[02:22] ---
    Dreams that are misguided
[02:25] ---
    Mato-hazure no kitai
[02:25] ---
    Hopes that are way off base
[02:28] ---
    Tsuyoku omoeba itsuka tsukameru sa!
[02:28] ---
    You'll grab them someday,
    if you just have conviction
[02:34] ---
    Daichi keri-age hashiri-dasou
[02:34] ---
    Let's kick up the earth and start running
[02:41] ---
    Kimama ni mau kaze no gotoku
[02:41] ---
    Like the capricious breeze that dances about
[02:59] ---
    A Man's Fight
[03:04] ---
    Um, betrothed, as in...
[03:06] ---
    Like a husband-to-be
    determined by her parents...?
[03:08] ---
    Yes, that makes him her fiancé.
[03:12] ---
    I see.
[03:14] ---
    But Miss, I had no idea you had
    an official boyfriend.
[03:18] ---
    Y-You're wrong! Don't misunderstand!
[03:19] ---
    He's not my boyfriend,
    but my betrothed! My betrothed!
[03:22] ---
    In other words, it's something
    our families decided on their own,
[03:24] ---
    so... um...
[03:26] ---
    No, really, I'm so surprised
    that you're betrothed.
[03:30] ---
    A young lady of the upper class
    certainly has it different.
[03:33] ---
    To Nagi, his smile...
[03:35] ---
    You never told me you were betrothed!
[03:38] ---
    Was our relationship just a game to you?!
[03:41] ---
    ...apparently looked like that.
[03:45] ---
    Hayate's pretty angry.
[03:47] ---
    I must resolve the
    misunderstanding, no matter what!
[03:49] ---
    But are they sure about this?
[03:50] ---
    If the Miss marries into his family,
[03:52] ---
    won't that be the end of the Sanzenin name?
[03:55] ---
    There is no problem in that regard.
[03:57] ---
    Since Nagi will not be the one
    to marry into his family.
[03:58] ---
    Oh, so the Miss will receive Wataru
    into the family as her husband.
[04:03] ---
    Like hell I'm being received
    as Nagi's husband!
[04:05] ---
    But such a thing does not happen often.
[04:07] ---
    An opportunity to marry
    an adorable girl like Miss Nagi...
[04:12] ---
    Hayate...
[04:13] ---
    Hah! A selfish, spoiled,
    irresponsible manga nerd,
[04:16] ---
    who thinks she's the boss of this world!
[04:19] ---
    Like anyone would want her!
[04:21] ---
    Wh-What?!
[04:22] ---
    Like hell I'm taking that
    from a brat like you,
[04:25] ---
    you stupid, stupid, stupid!
[04:26] ---
    That's my like, you ugly, ugly, ugly!
[04:31] ---
    Wow, I guess people who are
    betrothed really do get along.
[04:32] ---
    Ugly! Ugly!
[04:34] ---
    Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
[04:35] ---
    If that looks like they're
    getting along to you,
[04:36] ---
    you should go see an eye
    doctor or brain surgeon.
[04:38] ---
    And you! Can't you be
    at least a little more ladylike?!
[04:42] ---
    Wataru.
[04:44] ---
    Th-That voice... Don't tell me...
[04:50] ---
    Good morning, Wataru.
[04:52] ---
    What are you doing so early in the morning?
[04:54] ---
    Well... uh... Isumi...
[04:57] ---
    Could it be because you also heard
    that Nagi had a new butler?
[05:02] ---
    W-Well, I myself was of a similar mind.
SIGN    I Myself
[05:05] ---
    "I myself"?!
[05:06] ---
    But I just heard some loud noises...
[05:10] ---
    Could it be that you were
    fighting with Nagi?
[05:12] ---
    N-Not at all! We would never fight!
[05:15] ---
    Nagi and I always get along famously!
[05:17] ---
    What's with the drastic
    change in his persona?
[05:20] ---
    Well, basically...
[05:22] ---
    It means that Wataru likes Isumi.
[05:25] ---
    What?! He likes someone else
    when he's betrothed?!
[05:29] ---
    Well, it's not a betrothal
    that they wanted for themselves.
[05:32] ---
    Then, does the Miss want to
    break off her betrothal to Wataru?
[05:36] ---
    Of course, I do!
[05:38] ---
    As if we could marry when
    we don't even like each other!
[05:41] ---
    If Isumi comes to like Wataru,
    it would solve everything,
[05:45] ---
    but regrettably, Wataru doesn't
    register on Isumi's radar at all.
[05:48] ---
    So, whatever the case,
    if Wataru and Isumi become an item,
[05:51] ---
    the betrothal will be off, correct?
[05:53] ---
    Yes! It seems you finally understand!
[05:55] ---
    Everyone, we haven't eaten this morning,
[05:57] ---
    
    so how about some breakfast?
[05:59] ---
    Would you prefer
    a Japanese breakfast, Isumi?
[06:02] ---
    What?
[06:03] ---
    W-Well...
[06:07] ---
    Then, whichever you prefer,
    my dear Hayate...
[06:10] ---
    I-Isumi! Don't tell me
    you have feelings for him?!
[06:13] ---
    Then everyone, please head
    towards the dining room.
[06:16] ---
    Hold it right there!
[06:18] ---
    You're Nagi's new butler, right?
SIGN    RROOAARR
[06:21] ---
    Uh, yes, my name is Hayate Ayasaki...
[06:24] ---
    Since we're here, how about
    a little duel before breakfast?
[06:37] ---
    Um, is it the norm for the rich and
    famous to have duels in the morning?
[06:41] ---
    Who knows?
[06:42] ---
    I don't really get it,
[06:43] ---
    but he probably wants to
    show off how cool he is to Isumi.
[06:46] ---
    Even though it's a waste of time.
[06:47] ---
    Well, if he loses really badly,
    he may gain Isumi's sympathy,
[06:51] ---
    so beat the crap out of him.
[06:53] ---
    Uh, right...
[06:57] ---
    All right, ready to meet your fate,
    you stupid butler?!
[06:59] ---
    I'll warn you, though. Hayate's strong.
[07:02] ---
    After all, he can catch up
    to a car on a bicycle.
[07:04] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[07:06] ---
    There's no way a poor-looking
    guy like him is strong!
[07:09] ---
    Do you have any experience with sabers?
[07:11] ---
    Hmm, let's see...
[07:16] ---
    Well, that's about
    the best I can do with it.
[07:20] ---
    Hey, what do you want to do?
[07:21] ---
    Sh-Shut up!
[07:24] ---
    O-Once a man's decided to do something,
[07:27] ---
    there's no going back!
[07:29] ---
    Oh, boy...
[07:30] ---
    I know what the Miss asked me to do, but...
[07:34] ---
    Hold on.
[07:34] ---
    If I can neatly bring the two of them
    to an understanding...
[07:43] ---
    Wind Scar!
[07:49] ---
    Isumi, be with me...
[07:50] ---
    Yes, I will marry you!
[07:52] ---
    Yay! The betrothal's off!
[07:55] ---
    Excellent work, Hayate!
[07:57] ---
    All right, it's settled then!
[08:00] ---
    Here I come!
[08:01] ---
    Please watch this, Miss!
[08:03] ---
    Hayate Ayasaki's greatest
    performance of his life!
[08:07] ---
    Take this!
[08:09] ---
    But...
[08:11] ---
    Sharp instruments are dangerous,
    so let's still get that out of the way...
[08:15] ---
    Whoa, he got me!
[08:19] ---
    Thud.
[08:26] ---
    Huh? That's odd.
[08:27] ---
    That should've set the flag
    for a happy ending...
[08:30] ---
    Oh, my dear Hayate...
[08:33] ---
    To think you would lose on purpose,
[08:35] ---
    so as not to hurt the pride
    of the violent and weak Wataru.
[08:39] ---
    How kind of you...
[08:42] ---
    N-Not at all!
[08:43] ---
    Wataru is truly strong
    and I didn't stand a chance!
[08:49] ---
    Huh? Oh, wait...
[08:51] ---
    I'm... never... letting you
    get away with that...
[08:56] ---
    I'll defeat you for sure someday!
[08:59] ---
    Remember this! You idiot!
[09:02] ---
    Th-This wasn't how it was supposed to be...
[09:04] ---
    Goodness. To think he psychologically
    beat the crap out of him...
[09:07] ---
    Hayate really is good.
[09:09] ---
    Or rather, that cheap performance...
[09:12] ---
    Is he still angry that I didn't
    tell him that I was betrothed?
[09:17] ---
    Wataru has left the estate by himself.
[09:20] ---
    Incidentally, as for his maid's bath...
[09:25] ---
    The water was quite fine.
[09:28] ---
    She was in there so long,
    the first half has already ended.
[09:34] ---
    Tell me you love me.
    (Aishiteiru to itte kure)
[09:38] ---
    Love beam! (Renai biimu)
[09:40] ---
    I still think it would be better
    if I went to apologize to him.
[09:44] ---
    What I did to Wataru was inexcusable.
[09:47] ---
    Well, certainly,
[09:49] ---
    I do feel a little sorry for him
    to leave things like this, but...
[09:53] ---
    Leave it, leave it.
[09:54] ---
    Besides, for a boy
    to cry in front of others...
[09:57] ---
    How weak could he be?
[09:58] ---
    My, that is awful! Calling him weak...
[10:01] ---
    It is the truth, but since he made
    Wataru cry, he should apologize.
[10:04] ---
    You're the one who made him cry, though.
[10:06] ---
    S-So, given that I am going to apologize,
[10:09] ---
    where will I be able to
    find Wataru's estate?
[10:12] ---
    What? Isn't that more
    of a building than an estate?
[10:16] ---
    Yes, because Wataru lives
[10:18] ---
    at the top of the Tachibana
    Group's Shinjuku Headquarters.
[10:21] ---
    Wow, he's in the middle of downtown?
[10:24] ---
    Then, the roads will be congested
    at this hour in the morning...
[10:30] ---
    I suppose taking the train
    would be faster than driving.
[10:34] ---
    Huh? Did I say something wrong?
[10:37] ---
    The train... Isumi, have you
    ever been on one?
[10:40] ---
    I have ridden the Orient Express
    and the Siberian Express, but...
[10:44] ---
    Not any in Japan...
[10:46] ---
    Right?
[10:47] ---
    Besides, there aren't all
    that many trains running, right?
[10:50] ---
    Then, what's that?
[10:54] ---
    This is a game. A game.
[10:56] ---
    Could it be that you have
    never ridden a train, Miss?!
[10:59] ---
    No, she hasn't.
[11:00] ---
    But were there that many
    bullet train stations in Tokyo?
[11:04] ---
    Huh?! The bullet train?!
[11:05] ---
    What?! By train, you weren't
    referring to the bullet train?
[11:10] ---
    Um, excuse my abrupt question,
[11:13] ---
    but do you ladies know what the "subway" is?
[11:15] ---
    The subway?
[11:16] ---
    Yes, like the Oedo Line
    or the Marunouchi Line.
[11:18] ---
    They are trains that run underground.
SIGN    Murmur
[11:22] ---
    So, there are bullet trains
    running underground in Tokyo?
[11:25] ---
    No, there are trains other
    than bullet trains!
[11:29] ---
    So, underground, what kind
    of scenery do you see outside?
[11:32] ---
    No, there is nothing to see!
[11:34] ---
    I thought they're only
    for transporting Koubu
[11:35] ---
    and ordinary people couldn't ride them!
[11:37] ---
    That was just during the Taisho era!
[11:39] ---
    Ah, that sounds interesting.
[11:41] ---
    I had no intention
    of going to Wataru's place,
[11:43] ---
    but I'd like to take a ride
    on this so-called subway.
[11:45] ---
    All right, we are going to ride
    this subway thing, Hayate!
SIGN    Sanzenin
[11:50] ---
    B-But will it be all right?
[11:52] ---
    Getting on such a strange vehicle
    with just the children...
[11:54] ---
    At Shinjuku Station alone,
[11:56] ---
    approximately 570,000 people get
    on this strange vehicle every day.
SIGN    °Research by Hayate
[12:00] ---
    Incidentally, the breakdown of that is...
[12:02] ---
    ...230,000 people
    on the Metro Shinjuku Line,
[12:04] ---
    100,000 people on the Oedo Line,
[12:05] ---
    and 240,000 people on the Marunouchi Line.
[12:07] ---
    That is all for the explanation.
[12:09] ---
    Ah, you're so knowledgeable, Hayate!
[12:11] ---
    You see that? Nothing to worry about.
[12:13] ---
    Besides, we may get to see
    subterranean people or living dinosaurs!
[12:17] ---
    Th-That is why I'm saying it's dangerous!
[12:20] ---
    W-Well, we have Isumi along with us also,
[12:22] ---
    so I will escort them carefully
    to keep from getting lost.
[12:25] ---
    Speaking of Isumi,
    where in the world is she?
[12:28] ---
    What?
[12:29] ---
    Could she have gotten lost already?!
[12:31] ---
    Oh, no! We only looked away
    for just a moment!
[12:33] ---
    I underestimated Isumi's abilities.
[12:36] ---
    To start with, Maria, contact security.
[12:38] ---
    Hayate and I will search nearby!
[12:41] ---
    Right!
[12:42] ---
    Oh, wait, Nagi!
[12:48] ---
    I think Isumi probably headed
    for that so-called subway, but...
[12:52] ---
    That's terrible! There are numerous
    subway stations in Tokyo alone!
[12:56] ---
    No, the "subway" in this case
    is Isumi's idea of the "subway".
[13:00] ---
    So, I'd give it a 90 chance that
    she hasn't made it to the real subway.
[13:00] ---
    Rum raisin! Triple on a regular cone!
[13:04] ---
    I-Is that so?
[13:07] ---
    Yeah, Isumi never makes it
    to her destination on her own!
[13:12] ---
    So there will be no mistake
    if you follow me.
[13:15] ---
    Where Isumi has gone
[13:16] ---
    will be the closest place around
    that resembles the subway!
[13:20] ---
    Wait, no, no, no.
    Where in the world are we, Miss?
[13:24] ---
    Wh-Who knows?
[13:26] ---
    Earlier, I found a construction guy
    who sounded like he'd seen Isumi...
SIGN    A While Ago
[13:29] ---
    Um, is this the entrance to the subway?
[13:33] ---
    Eh?
[13:34] ---
    The subway, where they transport
    dinosaurs using bullet trains...
[13:38] ---
    Oh sure, it's definitely underground, but...
[13:40] ---
    Well, there are all kinds of unknown
    worlds sprawled under Tokyo
[13:43] ---
    that even the government
    doesn't know everything about,
[13:46] ---
    so you just might find...
[13:47] ---
    Wait, huh?! Missy?!
[13:49] ---
    So, I bought out the construction site
    and we went underground with security.
[13:54] ---
    I think that part went fine, but...
[14:00] ---
    Th-That's a Griffon!
[14:07] ---
    A trick of the light...
[14:08] ---
    Part of me almost wishes it was
    and part of me doesn't...
[14:11] ---
    Miss, where are you?!
[14:14] ---
    At any rate, we should go back for now.
[14:16] ---
    Or we'll get lost for real, too.
[14:19] ---
    M-Miss?
[14:21] ---
    Y-You fool! Don't change
    directions so suddenly!
[14:24] ---
    I thought you were leaving me behind!
[14:26] ---
    I don't handle dark places
    like this too well...
[14:29] ---
    So please don't make any sudden moves.
[14:32] ---
    But Miss...
[14:34] ---
    Then, what do you do at night?
[14:36] ---
    Might you have trouble
    sleeping alone at night?
[14:39] ---
    No, wait... it's not...
[14:40] ---
    I-It's not as if I can't sleep alone...
[14:44] ---
    I'm not a child, after all.
[14:46] ---
    I just have a hard time
    falling asleep sometimes...
[14:49] ---
    And if there's a power outage,
    it gets pitch dark,
[14:51] ---
    so it's kind of dangerous,
    you know... like...
[14:53] ---
    Well, what does it matter?
[14:56] ---
    It's cuter when you
    have qualities like that.
[15:02] ---
    But that was a bit of a mistake.
[15:05] ---
    You see, you shouldn't yell
    in underground spaces like this.
[15:12] ---
    When you yell, they get scared
    and come leaping out...

    My, how smart you are.
[15:52] ---
    Huh?! What?!
[15:53] ---
    Wh-What was that just now?!
[15:56] ---
    Thus, our dreams of the subway were crushed.
[16:00] ---
    That's so stupid!
[16:02] ---
    Dinosaurs? Subterranean men?
[16:03] ---
    Like they exist.
[16:05] ---
    I see...
[16:07] ---
    Listen to me. The subway
    actually leads to Brazil.
[16:11] ---
    What? Brazil?
[16:13] ---
    That's right. That place is on
    the other side of Japan, right?
[16:16] ---
    So it connects us to 'em.
[16:18] ---
    Only thing ya gotta be careful of is
    that Brazil's a foreign country, right?
[16:21] ---
    So, ya gotta show yer passport.
[16:24] ---
    Next time ya have occasion
    to ride the subway,
[16:26] ---
    show yer passport to the station staff
[16:28] ---
    and say, "One child's ticket
    to Rio de Janeiro please."
[16:31] ---
    Got it?
[16:32] ---
    I understand, Sakuya. Thank you.
[16:35] ---
    Hayate, if you're still going to
    insist on apologizing to Wataru,
[16:39] ---
    I want you to give this to him.
[16:41] ---
    What? What is this?
[16:43] ---
    You mustn't open it on your
    way there, no matter what.
[16:45] ---
    Since there's no knowing
    who may be watching.
[16:48] ---
    What?
[16:51] ---
    Wow...
[16:54] ---
    It's the city...

    It's not something to get rid
    of her betrothed, is it?
[17:00] ---
    Like a bomb or something...?
[17:02] ---
    Oh? If it isn't the Sanzenin family butler.
[17:07] ---
    Oh, Saki.
[17:09] ---
    Fancy meeting you here.
[17:11] ---
    Have you come to see the Young Sir?
[17:13] ---
    Oh, yes, just dropping by.

    In that case, I shall show you the way.

[17:25] ---
    Huh?
[17:27] ---
    Oh, our headquarters is this way,
    so please be sure to follow me.
[17:31] ---
    Oh, right...
[17:33] ---
    I don't really get it,
    but is Saki avoiding me?
[17:37] ---
    Um, Saki...
[17:42] ---
    What... the?
[17:45] ---
    P-Pardon me! Um, it's not
    that I'm avoiding you!
[17:47] ---
    So, um, you know...
[17:48] ---
    I'd never been held like
    that by a man before,
[17:51] ---
    so I sort of end up shying away by reflex...
[17:54] ---
    Oh, no, I don't mean you!
    I mean men in general!
[17:57] ---
    It doesn't really bother me.
[17:59] ---
    I'm used to people hating me anyway...

[18:24] ---
    Ah, Saki, thanks.
[18:31] ---
    What the hell are you here for?!
[18:33] ---
    N-No, I brought this to you from the Miss.
[18:36] ---
    Oh, the videos that I lent Nagi.

    Videos?

    of Rental Video Tachibana.
[18:46] ---
    The Tachibana Group itself
[18:48] ---
    is almost dead due to
    the recent economic downturn.
[18:51] ---
    This rental store chain
    is their last holdout now.
[18:53] ---
    Saki, don't say such unnecessary things.
[18:56] ---
    Then, the fact you're betrothed is...
[18:58] ---
    Yeah, it means my parents
    are counting on Nagi's family fortune.
[19:03] ---
    They're used to being wealthy,
[19:05] ---
    so they're scared of no
    longer having a fortune.
[19:08] ---
    But where's the point in thinking
    about things so negatively?
[19:10] ---
    Just watch!
[19:12] ---
    I'll make this store huge
[19:14] ---
    and amass a fortune that'll
    dwarf the Sanzenin family!
[19:17] ---
    Like hell I'm being taken
    into the family as a husband!
[19:20] ---
    If I do that, I'm sure Isumi will also...
[19:26] ---
    This boy has a foul mouth,
    but he's a really good kid.
[19:30] ---
    That's why I can't just let him be.
[19:32] ---
    Saki, don't just stand there! Get to work!
[19:34] ---
    Oh, yes, sir!
[19:37] ---
    Rental video... So, is what
    I just delivered also...?
[19:40] ---
    Yeah, our goods.
[19:42] ---
    But as rich as the Miss is,
[19:44] ---
    surely she could just buy it
    instead of bothering to rent it.
[19:47] ---
    You're so naive!
[19:48] ---
    There're some extra-rare titles in
    this world that aren't on the market.
