EN-Eins Perfektewelt, also known as EN-Eins Kanzen Sekai in Japan, is a dōjin 2D fighting game, developed between the dōjin circle SUBTLE STYLE, and with the help from Rutubo Game Works in original version only. It is a sequel to Akatsuki Blitzkampf (Ausf. Achse). Powered by a video game engine known as Zou Engine.
10 years later after the release of original version's NESiCAxLive port, a update title named EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis (EN-Eins Kanzen Sekai Anastasis in Japan) was announced. Whether this update title will be the one to be ported for a future PC release by SUBTLE STYLE remains unknown, since the original version's release date was only released in Arcade and revealed to be a beta version of the current update, as SUBTLE STYLE also mention have currently no plans to release its update title to PC and its western release as well, other than already announced Ausf. Achse PC port under the name Type A.

Ten years after Murakumo's defeat in 20XX AD, there was a small report of a collapse accident in the undeveloped Tibetan Tsampo Canyon.

Taking on this chaos, a dark fight for the hegemony of the new world begins...
Characters[]
All characters from Akatsuki-related titles return. However, due to Mycale's new “base form” is that of Anonym Merel Lambuth in Anastasis update, both initial "Base" Mycale and Merel are replaced by their successors. There are three known older characters who change their names in this game:
- Lieutenant Kanae is now simply called "Kanae"
- Marilyn Sue was changed to "Marilyn Dajie"
- Wei Ye Lue was extended to "Dawei Ye Lue"
- Due to Mycale possessing Merel's body and to differentiate from Kati-possessed version, she is listed as "Mycale-A"
New Characters[]
- EN-Eins
- Kati - Reintroduced as a playable character. Replaces Mycale's first “base form” from Akatsuki-titles.
- Tempelritter

Trivia[]
- Due to the update Anastasis being said about to have newer Artworks, Additional and Correction for Arcade Storyline, as well as the true final boss, it was revealed by SUBTLE that the original version of EN-Eins Perfektewelt was in fact a beta version of the game itself, while Anastasis is the true finalized version of the game.
- However, unlike Akatsuki Prototyp 1 being a demo version of Akatsuki Blitzkampf and SNK's The King of Fighters XII being a beta version of The King of Fighters XIII, the original version does have an arcade story, albeit have incomplete and incorrect parts of the storyline.
- This is the only sequel game to be in Arcade only, mainly the original version, and possibly its later co-responding update(s) like Anastasis for now, unless the latter title update's PC version is also planned and have its certain condition met to port it.
- Due to current state of the crowdfunding of Anastasis update ends with Mycale A.'s inclusion, the fates of two new characters' inclusions in the updated title are unknown. Either:
- Being left debunked
- Being saved for the next SUBTLE STYLE's game, if announced
- Being introduced in home/PC version before being included in its arcade counterpart since Atlus-licensed Arc System Works' Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, if announced sometimes later. Possibly after Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf. Achse home/PC port
- However, one of the series’ sprite artist, MAN-DIE seems to indirectly give a hint about what he and other SUBTLE STYLE members are up to for Anastasis on their sleeves post-crowdfunding. The hint is translated as “Go through until it's completed”.[6] This further doubled by Team Arcana's announcement on adding contents which didn't reached the crowdfunding for Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Six Stars XTEND!!!!! on the said game, that it is possible for SUBTLE STYLE to add their unreached crowdfund contents eventually on a right timing after the release of Projected/Full Launch version of Anastasis update title eventually
- Anastasis update was originally meant to be released on 2022. However, following the issues surrounding the location test on November 2022, and for the developers' health protocol at the end of the month, the game's release date moves to 2023.
- The launch release of Anastasis initial started out to be the same as location test and original launch, with yet another minor changes from location test. However, the updated title game will be completely different in Projected/Full Launch version.
- Prior to full launch version of Anastasis update, new playable characters who debuted playable in that title update currently stuck with reusing character select artwork for Versus/Lifebar/EX/Super Moves portrait, just like Perfecti back in arcade version of Ausf. Achse.
- Due to SUBTLE STYLE's clashing development with French-Bread, both new contents' schedules for EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis and French-Bread's sequel Under Night In-Birth II: Sys:Celes are often taking long to be developed before the release date plans are finalized.
