An anime movie set within the SakuraWars video game series released in Japan on December 22nd, 2001. It is set in between the third and fourth games.

The movie introduces Sakura Wars V character Ratchet Altair, dispatched to the Imperial Capital Tokyo from New York to work for the Imperial Assault Force's Flower division while division captain Ichirō Ōgami is in Paris, so that she would go on to found The New York Fighting Troupe, which would later be seen in ''[[VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove Sakura Wars: So Long My Love]]''. But darkness comes as the American company, Douglas-Stewart, under the leadership of Brent Furlong, unveils a plan to make the division obsolete by using Japhkiels, which are supposed to be unmanned mechs [[spoiler: but are in truth, demons]]. Soon, the Flower Division and Ratchet are drawn into the heart of Douglas-Stewart's plans.

Like the episodes of the TV series, the film is also a self-contained story in the same continuity (no Alternate Continuity here, thankfully) and leaves no hanging plot threads behind; such as Ratchet being introduced here, and eventually goes on to appear in ''[[VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove Sakura Wars: So Long My Love]]''. The movie does assume you have familiarity with the characters and game timeline (providing no explanation as to why Ohgami isn't even present for almost the entire movie, excpet being mentioned about being in Paris, where Sakura Wars 3 takes place). The movie also substantially expands the world of Sakura Wars beyond Japan, exploring in greater depth the dynamics of the prototype team (which consisted of Ratchet, Orihime, and Leni) fielded in wartime Europe. The movie takes place just after the end of the third game (Paris) and before the beginning of the fourth (which ended the "Tokyo arc"). A recent production, it makes extensive use of CGI effects, particularly for the kohbu.

Originally licensed by Creator/{{Geneon}}, the film is now licensed by Creator/FUNimation, and will be released on Blu-Ray on October 22nd, 2013.
