This drama is a guilty pleasure of mine and among the first that introduced me to Sukeban Deka, which became one of my favorite pieces of media. Originally hardsubbed by the now defunct DramaCrazy years ago, aggregator sites saved their works from episodes 1-7. I took on the task of transcribing their work into softsubs, while extensively editing and rephrasing lines to sound more natural, fixing grammar and formatting issues. Though I retranslated a decent portion of the dialogue and on-screen text that I didn't find up to snuff, episodes 1-7 still stand on DramaCrazy's foundation, hence I kept their credit for these episodes. The Wayback Machine indicates that DC completed subbing by 2011. Sadly, their work on 8-11 were basically lost to time, leaving the series incomplete for years. I did end up finding episodes 9 and 10 on Dailymotion, but not complete, while I couldn't find a trace of 8 and 11. And thus, I undertook the task of translating these latter episodes from scratch, aiming for consistency throughout so the switch won't feel jarring. 

Enjoy all 11 episodes of this silly and campy love letter to Sukeban Deka!
