Wow...simply awesome ep
All the next exciting development, I don't even know where to start
LKK --> I'll start by saying that in the manga, this is the story that introduced Baroqueheat to Rahzel. The full story is told in v01, c06-c07 and v02, c08-c10. So already, there's been a change in the anime version since Baroqueheat wasn't traveling with Rahzel and Alzeid when the manga story started.
So! as their travels continue, Rahzel beats off a bunch of thugs who was terrorizing a kid called vincent, or vi for short. They immediately become friends and Rahzel even shows her some magic. However, a blonde haired army guy comes and tries to take Vi away with force even though it seemed like he was his "friend". Not standing for this Rahzel fought back but this guy isn't ordinary and uses some trick to get her to levitate. Just when they were about to kill each other, Heat stops the fight with his afro...
It is later revealed that this guy knew Heat and is a fan of Alzied (...maybe fan is a lesser word from what I see) and he is called Celesta.
LKK --> Like Manju said, the manga spelled his name Soresta. (Not that much of a biggie.) Fan is definitely an understatement. Soresta is obsessed with Alzeid. There's no evidence that Alzeid ever returned Soresta's affections though.
Apparently these three used to be in the same army group but Alzied and Heat left. I am a bit confused here as I thought that Alzied met Heat during travel with Rahzel but instead it now seems that they share a past together.
LOL at mission impossible spoof XD
LKK --> That cracked me up. It wasn't in the manga. That was a great addition though.
ROFLMAO at maid Alzied...army people are desperate
LKK --> Alzeid lost a poker game. The loser had to dress like a girl and serve tables. (According to a side comment, Alzeid is a serious idiot who keeps his promises. )
However, the next two scenes made my jaw drop. Heat takes Rahzel's first kiss for some odd reason and even when slapped he only said sorry...It seems like he will be leaving the trio for some reason and this is his farewell
LKK --> That played out differently in the manga. Baroqueheat stole a kiss from Rahzel so that she couldn't forget him after she refused to remember his name and said that she had already forgotten him. He didn't say anything about leaving her, of course, because he wasn't traveling with her yet.
I have a bad feeling about this ;__;
LKK --> Yeah. You should.
Alzied warns Rahzel the next day about Celesta...who turns out to be a freak!! and maniac!! psycho!!
Then the potential rape scene from Alzied...wtf
LKK --> The potential rape scene is an attempt by Alzeid to prove to Rahzel that she lets down her guard too easily and too often. This is still early in Rahzel's travels. She's not a travel savy as she is later on. In this episode alone, she's been caught by Soresta and had a kiss stolen by Baroqueheat. Alzeid is trying to show her that she needs to be more cautious at all times. (Plus I suspect he's jealous. )
Heat did give a reason why he is leaving (I think) but I dont understand with my limited interpretation skill >_<
Anyway! It ends with Rahzel and Vi being chased by some army folk and she blows them up (or they did it themselves
).
LKK --> She set up the situation. They lit the fuse. Literally. So it was kinda both. (And the lesson of today's story, kiddies, is not to light a lighter in a dust cloud. The dust particles may be combustible, especially if you're in a bakery store.)
The mysterious man talking with Baroqueheat at the very end of the episode has me very, very curious. He wasn't in the manga. I have an idea of who he might be. But if I'm right, I'm not sure why he would be there. If anyone can give me an idea of what he and Baroqueheat say to each other, I would love it if you shared.
