My friend Commander Simcity had a wonderful inspiration of this military operation of justice: After Episode 12 of the animation, Kotonoha Katsura is arrested by coast guard and police since a sail-yacht has a very limited range of voyage. Then she is to be trialed by court. But a group of heroic commandos, send by her father, storms into Tokyo and rescues the precious girl to safety.
