Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf. Achse (アカツキ電光戦記 Ausf. Achse, Akatsuki Denkō Senki Ausf. Achse, Akatsuki Flash Fight Axis Edition) is a final standalone revision of the first game for arcade and Microsoft Windows. After finding success on the Dōjin soft scene, on September 27, 2007, Monthly Arcadia magazine confirmed that the game would be launched as an arcade title, with the provisional name "Akatsuki Blitzkampf AC", published by SUBTLE STYLE itself.[3] The first location test was held on November 23, 2007, at High Tech Land Sega AViON in Japan.[4] It features improved graphical enhancements and re-introduces a new character known as Perfecti (Kanzensha in Japan), who was originally a mere alternate version/palette swap of Mycale in the original Blitzkampf.[5] The final release of Ausf. Achse was in Japanese arcades on February 20, 2008, for the Sega NAOMI system and published with the help of PIC company. Although Ausf. Achse being announced on March 29, 2019, to have a Microsoft Windows port, under the name Akatsuki Blitzkampf Type-A (アカツキ電光戦記 A式, Akatsuki Denkō Senki A-Shiki, Akatsuki Flash Fight Type-A), the COVID-19 pandemic cause the release date and development to be delayed.[6]

It is a common misconception that the subtitle is a misspelling of the German phrase "Ausf. Achse," meaning "on tour/on the road/on the move". In fact, the term "Ausf." is short for "Ausführung" and has been very common in historic German military nomenclature, meaning "option model" or "version". Therefore, "Ausf. Achse" literally means "option model with axle(s)" or "moveable/mobile/non-stationary version". "Achse" also translates to "axis", and given the game's militaristic style, a very probable translation is "Akatsuki Flash Fight Axis Edition".

The sequel to the first game and its updates has itself had two revisions: EN-Eins Perfektewelt and EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis.

EN-Eins Perfektewelt (エヌアイン完全世界, EN-Ain Kanzen Sekai, EN-Eins Perfect World) is a sequel to Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf. Achse, co-developed between Subtle Style and Rutubo Game Works and released on in arcades. It was released on the System Board Y2 arcade system on June 25, 2010.[7] The game was later ported to the Taito Type X² arcade board and released digitally via NESiCAxLive on February 22, 2012.[8]

The subtitle comes from the German word "Perfektewelt," meaning "perfect world", referring to the new titular protagonist EN-Eins, the last surviving clone of his cloning batch who aims to defeat one of Knights Templar’s leaders, such as Valkyria (a boss version of her playable clone, Tempelritter) for the sake of creating a perfect world. The game also re-introduces Mycale's replacement and former host, Kati as a playable character, as well introducing Anonym-Guard as a replacement of Anonym Merel Lambuth.[9]

EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis (エヌアイン完全世界 ANASTASIS, EN-Ain Kanzen Sekai Anastasia, EN-Eins Perfect World Rebirth) is an updated version of the sequel game, developed and published by Subtle Style. It was first released on NESiCAxLive arcade digital for the game's NESiCAxLive port's 10th-anniversary debut and to celebrate NESiCAxLive's 12th anniversary.[10]

The subtitle comes from the Greek word "Anastasis," meaning "rebirth", which also represents Subtle Style's return to game development since the series appeared in certain games crossed over. As the series' creator Subtle confirm that the original release was in fact in the beta stage, this update, being an actual finalized version of the original release, not only adds a complete re-worked artwork, UI, and arcade storyline, it re-introduces Mycale in a body of Anonym Merel Lambuth she stole at the end of the previous game and the playable version of Valkyria, as well as introduces a new character who is a motorcyclist Blitzsoldier known by the name Inazuma. Apart from the new version of Mycale and playable Valkyria, 2 unknown brand new characters (a second new playable character and the true final boss (planned to be initially non-playable) were part of the crowdfunding however, the two latter's inclusions did not meet the funding's stretch goal for its full release plan by the time the funding ends.

The crowdfunding held by Subtle Style and its sponsored arcade center KO-HATSU for the new contents within Anastasis first started on April 26, 2022, until June 5, 2022.[11] Game Center Will opened a tournament charity event of original EN-Eins Perfektewelt on May 29, 2022, to support the crowdfunding before the end of the funding date.[12]

At the same time the official website opened on November 11, 2022, the location test was only for November 25 until 27, 2022 at the arcade centers Ko-Hatsu (Osaka), Game Center Will (Tokyo), Maxim Hero (Hokkaido), and Fantasista (Okayama) prefecture, before its initial launch.[13] Originally, the game’s initial release was meant to be released at the end of 2022. However, on December 5, 2022, Ko-Hatsu and Subtle Style confirms that release date delays to around 2023, in order to fix various gameplay issues based on the location test’s data. Following its wide arcade release in Late February 2023, a proper full version of the game which includes crowdfunded playable characters and finalized contents is in work, with the release date have yet to be revealed.

• Akatsuki (アカツキ)

Voiced by: Shinobu Matsumoto[14] (credited Souji Hijikata prior to Ausf. Achse onward) (Japanese); Kaiji Tang (Cross Tag Battle).[15] (English)

High-class technical officer of the Imperial army and one of the former Gesellschaft members. Believed to have died in the Arctic oceans at a critical time after the war came to an end, during the transportation of a new military unit from an allied country. Fifty years later, he returns alive and unchanged in appearance. Now wielding superhuman abilities powered by the original prototype Blitz Motor, he resumes his mission. He soon learns that his last mission during an imperial day was set up by his superior, Murakumo to have himself supposedly killed, but the plan fails as Akatsuki survives and awakens fifty years later. As Murakumo is the original Akatsuki before him and Akatsuki was the first successful Blitz Motor super-soldier, Akatsuki is referred to by his former superior and the rest like Fritz and even Kanae as "Experiment 1", with Akatsuki's real name being unknown. After killing Murakumo's original body with the help of Sai, Kanae, Marilyn and Wei, Akatsuki is likely the one who found and rescue a young soldier named EN-Eins before they split to a different path for a similar reason, destruction of Gesellschaft and its originator, Mycale's Knights Templar. A few years later, while being targeted by the Knights Templar who're now in possession of the remaining Gesellschaft assets, Akatsuki set to return to Antarctica, believed to be the main source of Blitz technologies in the underground world.

Thankfully, she managed to use black magic to link her soul to her weapon Dainsleif, under its sealed marshal wand appearance, and be able to possess a host's body when one of them touches it. She was part of the Gesellschaft alliance during World War II before her host's body from that time was killed by Adler, sometimes after Akatsuki Zero (now Murakumo) sabotaged Akatsuki's submarine in the 1950s. Upon possessing the young Kati in the present, she manipulates her host's parents and is able to avoid Sai's suspicion, in order to further her plans to recover the missing weapons. However, she has to deal with disposing Murakumo over their leadership on leading Gesellschaft, using anyone else's desires, such as Marilyn's ambitions to overthrow Black Hand's leadership from Yin Hu to quickly succeed her plan and obtaining a Blitz Motor from Akatsuki to become a next leader of the triad, then disposing of them as well. Although Mycale is separated from Kati by a Holy Club member Anonym Merel Lambuth, the nun ends up possessed by the witch's soul when she holds the Dainsleif containing the former's soul. While her first "form" is replaced by her spiritual replacement and former host, Kati in the sequel game, EN-Eins Perfektewelt, her second "form", which possessed Merel's body is playable in the Anastasis update.

There were multiple choices between wearing her glasses or not while possessing Merel's body based on the crowdfunding supporters' choice via comments on Ko-Hatsu's Ci-En account in the first fifteen days of September 2022 for her "new form"'s inclusion in Anastasis. Despite the final poll result on September 21, 2022 where Mycale A. would fight with her glasses on in the final release, the first day of October 2022 reveals a version without wearing her glasses will be included as well, and one of the two versions will act as alternative EX color row.
