Check out my novel project: Musei Ansatsusha! A sci-fi action comedy with a rich universe you will not be disappointed in! Support my project and "like" the facebook page!!! Thanks!
But seriously, AWESOME episode, it's Touma gar face all over, the animation didn't feel off, Agnese was so cute in the end... They handled this arc pretty well. And pope in Index verse is really something XD
Next week finally some Accel and LO, and yay winter uniforms!
This episode was pretty good. It still had a lot of Touma preaching, but I'm glad that they managed to pace volume 11 so well and not have any major drops in quality like in the Daihaseisai arc (although Touma's face looked a little off in some frames and I felt that Orsola's boobs were even bigger this week).
Also, Vento and the pope have made their appearance! I'm glad to see that they left in her piercings unlike what they did in the trailer.
Also, just seeing Accelerator and Last Order in the preview makes me hyped up for next week, and I'm really curious as to what the new opening will look like. Again, I hope that this last arc won't have any drops in quality like the Daihaseisai arc did because it certainly deserves the budget.
Agnese, Orsola, and Biagio:
Spoiler for volume 11 la regina del mare adriático :
“Orsola…Aquinas?”
The nun in black habit was supposed to be chased out of the Roman Catholic Church, yet she’s still wearing that nun habit. For some reason, she’s holding Agnese’s Staff with both hands. It’s not hard to remove the defensive spell on the doors, but maybe because Orsola focused too much in her casting, her breathing is somewhat hot and erratic.
Even so, she doesn’t look tired.
Seeing the face of Agnese, who’s leaning on the ice ball, Orsola gives a radiant smile.
“You…”
Orsola says.
To Agnese’s ears, these sound like words of a saintess.
“It’s great that you’re alright…”
For her to say such words, is it because she knew of the circumstances surrounding Agnese? She knows as much as Agnese does? Maybe even more. Because of this, seeing Agnese’s unscathed face, Orsola can make this expression.
She definitely did that.
And because she did that.
“…Wh…Why?”
Agnese asks in a dazed tone.
“You should know what the situation is like right now, right? Don’t you really want to leave the ‘Queen’s Fleet’? You said that you don’t want to stay in this dangerous place. You know that there are so many unreasonable facilities, so you promised to leave. But why did you come back with this expression?”
“You really flatter me.”
Orsola laughs bitterly,
“I can’t just see everything based on first glance. Even the layout of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’, I needed Index to teach me this in order to understand it. I’m not so sure about the ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary.”
Orsola holds onto the silver staff tightly with both hands, and says,
“…And even if I do, nobody will teach me how to escape from here. We can’t just help everyone and leave you behind when you’re not telling anyone of your pain.”
“So…”
Agnese softly replies.
She feels that the Orsola who’s in front of her is a lot different from what she thought of her to be.
“That’s why I say that you’re strange. I actually wanted to help Lucia and Angelene using myself as bait, but that’s it. As long as the results are perfect, the steps taken don’t matter. Aren’t you satisfied?”
Every time she says a word, Agnese feels that she’s really even more pitiful.
Even so, she continues on,
“Do you still remember what I did during ‘The Book of the Law’ affair? The one who forced you to Japan, arrested you and abused you WAS ME! One would not even care about that sort of person! To be bullied to this extent, HOW CAN YOU NOT HATE ME!?”
“Do I really have to say the answer to that question?”
Orsola silently says,
“Because you knew about all these, you would hide it from us and divert the attention to Lucia and Angelene, right? You knew that if we knew about this, we’d stop you. If you still want a clear answer, I’ll deliver it to you myself.”
She stares at Agnese’s face,
“In actual conclusion, I don’t know the answer. I’m still undergoing nun training. I have no confidence about myself, always thinking that I know what’s right and what’s wrong, or have wisdom and conscience to decide this for others, and for myself.”
She continues,
“At least, Lucia and Angelene decided that they have a duty to save you.”
“…”
Agnese turns silent.
“Even when Lucia escaped to a safe place, she said that she wanted to save you, and came back. Angelene said that she was afraid of hurting her comrades, so she was hesitant in making her weapons…I don’t think there’s a false sense in their words. In that situation, the ones who were even more perfect than anyone were them — I can’t match them.”
Word by word, these slow words have no coercive force in them.
Even so, Agnese stops breathing.
“Are you unsatisfied with Lucia and Angelene’s words?”
Orsola says to the petite nun,
“Even when they only saw despair and were chased by many, they still wanted to smile and laugh with everyone. Don’t you think these words are enough?”
“—”
Agnese slightly glances at Orsola’s eyes.
Her lips are trembling, as if they’re trying to say something.
“That’s impossible. Are you so naïve to think that the Roman Catholics will sit by and do nothing?”
A man’s voice suddenly interrupts,
“That would be an inconvenience for me, Sister Agnese; you can’t escape your responsibility. It’s true that the Roman Catholics have 2 billion people. Even if you die here, the plan will still go on. We’ll just find another suitable person. But do you know how hard it is to find a suitable person among these 2 billion people? Troublesome, isn’t it? I really hate troublesome things the most.”
These light words destroy all goodwill.
Orsola turns to look behind her, where the voice came from.
The forty-plus year-old man is wearing a luxurious Holy robe. There are 4 necklaces on his neck, each full of Crosses hanging on it. His face reveals a distorted asymmetrical smile.
Biagio Busoni.
Also, his hand is dipped in blood.
That shouldn’t be his blood. There doesn’t seem to be any visible wound, and there’s no look of pain on his face.
“…What’s with that blood?”
“So cold, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll answer your question because I hate troublesome things. So, in other words, I settled it.”
“…”
Orsola tightens her grip on the Angel Staff.
Even Agnese, who’s standing nearby and watching all of this, is clear that Orsola isn’t familiar with fighting at all. She’s the type of nun that would fight on the table and is of a completely different breed from Biagio and Agnese. Before talking about strengths and weaknesses, the basic premise isn’t the same at all. It’s like someone in desert get-up trying to cross Antarctica.
Biagio probably saw through it right at the start. He continues to have an expression of leisure.
Not even a defensive stance.
“If possible, I’d like to avoid fighting here; there are a lot of delicate things here. Why do you think I prepared all the defenses around the ‘Queen’s Fleet’? It’s because that it’ll be troublesome if things are going to be destroyed here.”
“…To use a large-scale spell on Venezia. Are you trying to let an outdated antique regain its glory?”
“Humph, this seems to be a common misunderstanding. However, that is wrong. We’re not going to use this on the marine country, but something bigger.”
“You’re still so carefree.”
Orsola says.
Agnese thinks that this isn’t good. Biagio’s common tactic is to have a conversation with the enemy without the enemy realising that he’s estimating the distance between the enemy and himself.
“Yes. It’s alright even if I say it to you. This is still within my ability, after all. Also, since this is a ritual that one must do for a person who’s about to die, of course this is acceptable. Oh yes, I said the same thing to the boy just now. No, it’s more of an explanation. It’ll be even more troublesome if you continue to resist, but this is still acceptable, so I hope that you’ll allow this level of stubbornness of mine.”
“—”
Orsola instinctively takes a step forward.
In contrast, Biagio doesn’t do anything.
It’s like there’s no need to notice the enemy’s movements.
“Where was I? Oh yes, the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’. I suppose you know that that was originally a spell intended to be used against Venezia. Though it could destroy Venezia in one shot, there wasn’t any use other than that. The reason is simple: if it landed in the hands of the enemy, it’ll be bad if it’s used back on us.”
Biagio strokes a Cross on his neck.
“The ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ was completed in the 9th century…when the remains of one of the twelve Apostles, St. Mark was brought into Venezia. At that time, Venezia wanted to create a religious environment like how the Vatican protected St. Peter’s remains. Wary of this, the Roman Catholics created such a spell.”
Hearing him say this, Orsola suddenly frowns.
She knows this isn’t the time to ask this, but she still asks,
“Are you lying? Venezia’s development began in the 9th century. If the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ was already capable at that time…”
“That’s right. After that, Venezia, at its prime, conquered Padova, Vicenza, Metz, Chioggia, all these surrounding countries. You should know about this history, right?”
“…Are you trying to bait my thoughts with this level of knowledge?”
“There were actually many reasons, and it’s said that one of the reasons was the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’. At that time, the Venetian government was unable to determine where this large scale superweapon was, and thus could only destroy those suspicious places. It’s not unexpected for the Roman Catholics to plan on using the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ after what Venezia did… in the end, they were afraid and didn’t use it. Though Venezia’s power was great, if they lose this land, it’s hard to predict the impact it would have caused economically.”
“…”
“However, Venezia spent a lot of money to finance these invasions and finally ended up in financial distress. The country crumbled, and thus, you can’t ignore its strength. Of course, this isn’t just because of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’…just looking at the results, I suppose our aim was achieved.”
“Even when you didn’t use it, you could destroy a country by just using the fear of a large-scale superweapon…but,”
Hearing Orsola say this so softly, Biagio grins.
“Yes, that is it. The ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ can only be used on Venezia. No matter how attractive it is, there’s no point if we don’t remove the targeting limit. Right now, Venezia is a clean tourist destination, and the Roman Catholics now have no reason to separate itself from Venezia.”
Then why is it? Just as Orsola’s about to ask this, she stops.
There’s a little possibility in Biagio’s words.
“That’s right, you discovered it.”
Biagio Busoni concludes,
“The aim of the ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary’ is to remove the targeting limit of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’.”
Orsola stops breathing.
Agnese’s eyes widen. Maybe she didn’t hear of this.
The Bishop continues on without caring about this, a smile appearing on his face.
“That was so long. No, actually, the one who set up the ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary’ wasn’t me, but them. Really, it must have been really long, huh? We have such a great weapon in the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’, yet to use it more, we had to spend quite some effort! That was the reason why this was left alone for so many hundred years!!”
“No way…”
Orsola inadvertently lets out a sound.
“Then, you want to use the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ to destroy any city that’s an eyesore? To use a large-scale spell so that you can brag that you can destroy the marine country called Venezia that was also famous for its strong magic!!?”
“You’re misunderstanding. We’re not talking about cities, we’re talking about the world.”
Biagio says delightedly.
As if it’s like the fairy tale of ‘The King’s ears are donkey ears’.
“Hoho, the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ doesn’t just destroy cities, but also everything related to the city. Like, if Venezia is destroyed, whether it’s all the art pieces or sculptures, all of them will be destroyed! This Venetian Sect knowledge will disappear. Hm? Something like this, what if it’s used on the city that controls the enemy world?”
The enemy world.
The city controlling it.
From these words, Orsola at least gets what Biagio’s trying to say.
“Don’t tell me…Academy City!?”
“That’s right, Sister Orsola. The ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ can destroy all the influence that a city brings. All the science and technology is affected by Academy City, even the trivial stuff!! If we can destroy all those, which would include half of the world, the detestable force called the Science side WOULD ALL BE PURGED WITHIN A SINGLE NIGHT!!!”
Such chilling words.
Biagio’s words indicate a tone that he believes only those he sees exist. The people that don’t exist in his life are just background silhouettes. The destruction of the Science side isn’t as easy as cutting the world in half, but rather, people will die.
“Do you really think that everyone will be happy if Academy City is destroyed?”
“I don’t think so. There are also parasites among the Magic side. The English Anglicans, the Russian Orthodox, Islam which took away the Cross, Buddhism and Norse Mythology. We just need to continue on and destroy all the obstacles! ONE DAY, ALL THE IMPURE THINGS WILL BE REMOVED, AND ONLY THE ROMAN CATHOLICS WILL BE LEFT!!”
“You…!!”
The ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’, which was meant to prevent Venezia from revolting, doesn’t need a second shot. But from Biagio’s words, this may have been overcome.
(Maybe Lucia and the other nuns were forced to do those weird things…those were preparations to remove the limitations…)
Orsola thinks, but doesn’t utter a word.
On the other hand, Biagio seems irritated with her trembling as he continues on.
It seems like he lost all his enthusiasm as his speech is a lot slower.
“It isn’t thorough enough. Since when has religion become a cheap tool? Sodom and Gomorrah were definitely burned, yet science pointed out that a religious trial is an error. This is the real misunderstanding. Why must God endure this for humans? If there are people who are bad to God, there’s nothing wrong with erasing them. This is nothing different from burning weeds, even if people are burnt in the process, it can’t be helped.”
To use a spell of such a scale with such thinking, how much damage would be caused? Just to burn an enemy, it may end up with the entire city getting burned. This would end up as the greatest tragedy in Christian history.
Biagio glares at Orsola.
Seeing the trembling nun, the Bishop is drunk with delight as he lets out a trembling and excited voice,
“This is the Roman Catholics’ wish, so we’ll be really troubled if you trouble us here. Besides, I’m not going to let you take Agnese away from here.”
“I should be the one saying that!”
Orsola says as she waves the Angel Staff.
Biagio sighs in an uninterested manner,
“I told you not to trouble us.”
The moment he says this, the winner is decided.
Orsola starts to chant spells in order to activate the Angel Staff, but it’s too late. It can be said that she was too careful. In battle, one only needs to convey the meaning, but Orsola focused as she started to create a spell, as if she’s trying to carve a face out. She won’t be able to make it.
In contrast, Biagio just strokes the Cross on his neck.
“—The Cross reveals the rejection to evil.”
As he mutters this, he easily pulls 30 Crosses and tosses them at Orsola’s feet. Orsola gets wary as she tries to knock away those Crosses with the staff.
BOOM!!
Before she can do anything, the little decorations expand as if they’re exploding. That’s a real explosion: the speed at which they expand is like a storm expressed by metal. As if a metal rod broke past a door, one of the Crosses is able to knock the Angel Staff from Orsola’s hand.
Agnese, who’s behind Orsola, gasps.
Another 20 Crosses attack an unarmed Orsola.
The second volley expands above her shoulders, hitting downwards as if the Crosses are about to dislocate her joints. Just as she’s recoiling from the impact, the third volley explodes above her as she bends down. The loud sounds of a mauling echoes throughout the room, as Orsola’s legs turn limp and collapse hard onto the ice floor.
Even so, she unsteadily tries to get up.
“Hoho! Stop it, Sister Orsola!!”
Biagio doesn’t even move a step.
Maybe because this plan that took quite a while is about to be completed, he’s smiling.
He pulls another Cross from his four necklaces and tosses it. The Cross arcs greatly over Orsola’s head as if a bouquet of flowers thrown into a crowd by a bride.
“—The weight of the Cross corrects the haughty.”
In an instant, the Crosses in the air let out a vibrating sound.
The Crosses that are instantly affected by numerous of thousands times of gravity fly near Orsola’s near. The ice floor explodes on impact and the floor is flips up. Orsola was in a crouching position as she felt the impact, and rolls sideways.
Even so.
Even though she lost her weapon, she feels the hits all over her body. Orsola tries to move her fingers slightly.
Just to resist.
“Humph, I said before that you should stop. I didn’t become a Bishop by skin-deep impressions. I can release all the multiple meanings of the Cross and use all kinds of power. If you want to kill me, be prepared to explode a Cathedral! The English Anglicans have the ‘Walking Church’. Even without that, I alone can match against a sanctuary!!”
After that, Biagio looks away from Orsola.
He says to Agnese, who’s standing behind him,
“It’s a bit early, but let’s start, Sister Agnese.”
“Eh…?”
Hearing these words, Agnese looks surprised as she stares at Biagio.
The Bishop doesn’t look disgusted.
“The Amakusa on the deck, and Sister Orsola who’s over there; though they’re really unsightly, they won’t really affect the ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary’ that is meant to remove the limitations of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’. Hoho…I’ve awaited this for a long time. Are you people trying to suffocate me to death? PREPARE TO LEAVE YOUR NAME IN HISTORY, SISTER AGNESE!!”
With Biagio’s words, the ice ball that Agnese’s leaning on starts to change.
“It’s beginning to adjust. You just need to let your magic synchronise with the ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary’ and the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’. HURRY UP AND SETTLE THIS AND REPORT THIS TO THE VATICAN!!”
A large hole appears on the ball as if a pupil in an eye expanded.
It’s like it’s trying to tell her to hurry up and go in.
“…! HOW CAN I…LET YOU DO THAT!!”
“You still want to resist with that body of yours? Or do you wish for me to continue to rob your freedom?”
Biagio doesn’t even look at Orsola’s face.
He uses his fingers to stroke the Crosses on his neck, and says,
“It’s about to start. Be happy, Sister Agnese. You’ll go down in history as the one who buried the most enemies in Christian history. This is your long time wish, right when you first used that Angel Staff!”
“…”
On hearing Biagio’s words, Agnese nods her head in a dazed manner.
Looking down, she can see the Angel Staff rolling on the floor.
His words can’t be wrong.
In fact, before ‘The Book of the Law’ affair, this was also the reason why she wanted to kill Orsola. To bury the enemies of the Roman Catholics, it’s for that reason. If that boy didn’t show up and stop her, Agnese would have definitely killed Orsola and be delighted.
Removing her own enemies was what Agnese has always wanted.
But,
“You…the ‘enemies’ that you mentioned include Agnese…!”
Orsola, who was nearly killed by Agnese, moves her body and actually tries to protect Agnese.
Even when her body is covered with wounds and she can’t move properly.
She still drags her body that’s unable to stand up.
On seeing Orsola like this, Agnese freezes.
Hearing Orsola’s words, Biagio snarls,
“Right now, you’re no longer a part of the Roman Catholics, but of the English Anglicans, that’s why you’re so anxious. If you were a Roman Catholic, you wouldn’t be so afraid even if you’re facing the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’.”
“You can say this because you based your actions on suspicion. This is a characteristic of us Roman Catholics. Because we can only weigh between benefits and damages, we can’t understand why people would act based on their beliefs. No, even if they can understand, they won’t believe it.”
Agnese hears those same words.
She knows that the Sister named Orsola Aquinas hasn’t changed since that time.
“I said that I can’t accept it. Agnese is about to be sacrificed for this useless thing! Why would you not believe this! I can’t stand the fact that a lot of people are going to be killed!!”
“…Is that so.”
The smile on Biagio’s face silently vanishes.
He plays with some Crosses on his neck, and after that, uses his finger to flick one of them.
“I change my mind. Even if it’s a small obstacle, it should be removed completely.”
Hearing those words, Orsola freezes.
It’s not just because of the actual danger, but because this nun is unused to the murderous intent that others would release. Her normal life has nothing to do with this world.
Agnese thinks,
(What’s her reason for doing this? If she’s from Academy City, I can still explain this. If she’s living in the Science side, I can also understand it, because that’s a danger to her. If she doesn’t stop Biagio, forget about her normal life, even her life would be endangered.)
But Orsola is different.
Even if Academy City is destroyed, she won’t die. If Biagio aims at the English Anglicans, she just needs to switch to another sect like how she abandoned the Roman Catholics. At least if she won’t stop the ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary’, she won’t be killed immediately under Biagio.
Even so, why must she obstruct him?
Doesn’t she want for even one second more?
“Christians love all neighbours, but are merciless. You should be clear if you read the calendar of the Saints’ legends.”
Biagio says as he strokes the Cross on his neck.
The force exerted on the fingers is like a snake, slithery yet firm. One can feel an unprecedented seriousness.
She will die, Agnese thinks.
Thus, Agnese says behind Orsola,
“…Please…move away. No matter what, you’ll die; you can’t stop Biagio. You won’t die if you don’t resist.”
Agnese thinks, Such irritating words.
It’s said that before Saints were executed, some pagan officers would tempt them to abandon their faith.
But,
“How can I do that…!!”
Orsola Aquinas firmly replies, as if she’s a Saintess from a legend.
An immediate answer.
Her voice is trembling. Maybe it’s because of pain, maybe there’s some anxiety, maybe there’s even fear, but Orsola still answers Agnese immediately. Maybe she didn’t think through it too much, but because she believes that this doesn’t require much thought, she could say it immediately.
“It’s over, Sister Orsola.”
Biagio says.
This is another voice that has no hesitation in it and of a completely different resolution. Biagio Busoni will likely kill Orsola just like this. He believes in what’s internal, and believes that it is definitely the correct thing. He refuses to listen to others.
Orsola will die.
“In that situation, the ones who were even more perfect than anyone were them; I can’t match them.”
Maybe even if she didn’t resist, she would still have died.
“Are you unsatisfied with Lucia and Angelene’s words?”
Orsola says to an extremely weary Agnese,
“Even when they only saw despair and were chased by many, they still wanted to smile and laugh with everyone. Don’t you think these words are enough?”
Not just Agnese, even Lucia and Angelene are concerned.
The one who said these words is about to be killed in front of her.
“Hahaha! Laugh on, Sister Agnese, see how your dream is about to be crushed!”
She’s holding the Angel Staff which was supposed to be on the floor. Agnese pulls Orsola behind and reaches her arms forward, grazing past her nose as Agnese lets the base of the staff stick into the ground, not moving at all.
The front tip of the Cross that suddenly expanded slams hard into the Angel Staff. The Cross was originally aimed at Orsola. If she were hit, her entire forehead would have been blown off. Agnese, who’s holding the staff, bites her teeth as she can’t endure this strong impact.
Agnese spits onto the floor. She roughly swings the Angel Staff around before holding it horizontally to the ground. That’s unlike Orsola, who did it so carefully.
“EverythingTutto il paragone is taken care of. The fifth Il quinto dei cinque elementi element of the five elements. Open up,Ordina la canna che mostra pace ed ordine symbol of Peace and Order, ‘Staff of the Bishop’.”
It’s as if these rough actions represent faith in her staff.
The wordless meaning is that she believes her staff won’t be broken because of something trivial like this.
“OnePrima of the idols! That obeys theSegua la legge de Dio ed una croce Son of God and the power of the Cross, connectingDue cose diverse sono connesse to foreign bodies and people!!”
In contrast, Biagio completely doesn’t mind the weapon being pointed at him.
Before that, before his question is answered, he’s angry till his brain’s full of blood.
“SISTER AGNESE!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?”
“Oh, just as you suspect.”
Agnese glances at the passionate Biagio, coldly dishing these words.
She reveals a villain-like smile.
“You’re mistaken. I still want to take care of Sister Lucia and Sister Angelene, AND THE OTHER NUNS! TO THINK THAT THEY HAVE TO FIGHT BECAUSE OF THAT USELESS ORDER OF YOURS, I’M RAGING INSIDE!!”
Agnese concludes, her feet not moving back.
Seeing her attitude, Biagio’s temples jump unnaturally.
“Stop acting…”
He bites his teeth, pulling a Cross from in front of his chest and holds it up into the air.
“…SO HIGH AND MIGHTY, YOU SINNER!!”
Pacha, a strange sound echoes.
After that,
“AH…Ugh!?”
An anguished cry comes from behind. Agnese frantically turns behind to see that Orsola has fallen. Orsola’s sitting down, cold sweat breaking out of her as her neck swings left and right. As if she lost to this action, she collapses onto the floor.
“You were just a monkey, and yet you want to talk like humans…”
The Bishop’s lips curl.
“—SIMON BEARS THE CROSS OF THE ‘SON OF GOD’.”
Biagio’s bellowing sounds like thunder.
Before Agnese can think ‘what happened’, her vision starts to distort.
“Wha…t!?”
Just as she’s trying her best to suppress this vomiting feeling, she loses her balance and kneels with one knee. If she didn’t do so, she would’ve been on the ground like Orsola.
At this moment,
Biagio moves near Agnese, who has a knee on the floor, and kicks hard into her jaw. The sharp tip of his hard shoe gives an irritating touch. Her body flies backwards, and collapses.
“GHA…AAAH…!!”
She holds onto the staff as she tries to get up, but she can’t exert any strength. It’s like she’s so weak that she can’t pull herself up, she can’t even move her body up. The Angel Staff that she’s so used to using can’t work at this moment.
(That attack…was…a spell.)
Even so, Agnese doesn’t give up.
She tries her best to analyse her situation.
(It’s…it’s…)
From the contents of the spell, right now, Biagio should be using a spell that’s based on the legacy of how the ‘Son of God’ died on the Cross. However, the ‘Son of God’ was killed by having nails hammered into his hands and feet, yet Agnese and Orsola didn’t have these injuries.
If that’s the case,
(Before that, there was the legend of the ‘Son of God’ and the Cross. When the ‘Son of God’ was forced to carry the heavy Cross that he was going to be nailed onto on his back as he walked up the hill…)
“…That’s right, at that time, the ‘Son of God’…should have had no strength to carry the Cross…there was a man called Simon…who helped him carry the Cross onto the execution hill, wasn’t it?” (Teh_ping: Nope, Jesus here did carry the Cross up the hill himself.)
Biagio’s eyebrows slightly twitch.
After that, he smirks,
“Have you figured it out?”
“‘Forcing the enemy to carry a heavy weight’…this…is the real…form of the attack…on us. This shouldn’t be…just your own weight…it should be…of all the people…on the ‘Queen’s Fleet’. An attack…that focuses all the weight…of the equipment…on a certain point. Is that right…”
Being hit by an attack that has at least 250 people’s weight, one would feel like they’ve been flattened. But what’s on them is only the ‘weight’; the ‘speed’ doesn’t exist.
It’s like an interrogation method of ‘putting a heavy weight on the stomach’. What’s surprising is that the record was more than 400kg. If it was placed slowly, humans still have the endurance to endure this weight.
“The reason why Orsola fell faster than me was likely because the attack came down from above. Like a consciousness being drained, it normally starts from the head.”
“Brilliant. As expected of one different from those pagan monkeys.”
For someone who has his attack method revealed, Biagio’s voice is too relaxed.
“BUT EVEN IF YOU KNOW, YOU CAN’T STOP IT!!”
He pulls down another one of those Crosses on his neck, and the moment he raises it high, the shrunk ‘weight’ collapses down on Agnese.
Her consciousness is about to break.
Once she faints, everything will be over.
As Agnese is the crux to the plan, she can’t be killed so easily. But Orsola’s different: if Agnese doesn’t resist, Orsola, who has no use to the plan, will be killed.
She knows that.
Even if she does.
The attack is aimed at the highest point of the body—so she raises the staff above her head to block it. Because of the enemy’s one attack, it’s as if her bones are breaking as she feels this sharp pain, and the Angel Staff falls onto the floor. As her hands recoil, she gets hit in the head.
Seeing her little resistance, Biagio mocks her,
“HAHA, WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO, SISTER AGNESE!!? USING SUCH A PATHETIC WAY TO STOP MY ATTACK? GET SOME STRONGER ARMS IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT!”
“Ugh…!!”
She has no strength left to resist. Agnese grits her teeth, as if she’s ashamed that she couldn’t do anything. Biagio again flicks a Cross on his chest and exerts more strength on Agnese’ head. Even so, Agnese’s continues to reach her hand out for the Angel Staff.
“Is that so? Then, how about this right hand?”
*Crack!!* The sound of things breaking can be heard.
The sound came from behind Biagio, from the double doors of the huge square pyramidal room. A square opens in the door, or rather, a cuboid. Someone steps into the room.
That person raises his right hand up.
He knocks away the weight attack that came down from above.
Biagio turns around and roars at the intruder,
“YOU LITTLE…PAGAN MONKEY DARE TO—!!”
“Idiot. You should at least confirm that there’s a corpse. My right hand isn’t as simple as you thought!!”
This boy doesn’t ask Agnese anything. Why did she become Orsola’s shield? What’s with this scene that doesn’t fit the situation?
He doesn’t mention this at all.
Maybe because since Biagio’s in front of him, he has no time to ask.
This one strike from the boy, it would be even more natural to say that it was meant to save Orsola rather than Agnese.
However,
Agnese feels that she has salvation.
She feels that this Kamijou who’s in front of her has saved her.
“WOOOHHHH!!!”
Kamijou shouts as he dashes to Biagio.
Biagio flicks a Cross on his chest, silently anxious as he backs away and lowers his jaw.
He again releases another heavy attack.
Maybe this is reliance on the trump card, and with the sudden surprise of Kamijou suddenly coming over, this was probably an instant judgment. To choose the method of attack according to the danger level, this way of thinking is rather suited for actual combat.
However, there are exceptions.
“TOO SLOW!! HOW CAN I BE DONE IN BY THE SAME TRICK TWICE!!!!”
The boy immediately raises his right hand to reflect the heavy attack and rushes in front of Biagio.
“Damn it…!?”
Biagio frantically reaches his hand out to the Crosses.
But Kamijou’s right fist slams hard into the centre of Biagio’s face first.
CRACK!!
The sound of flesh colliding with each other, and the sound of bones colliding with each other echoes throughout the place.
Epilogue, because it's hilarious:
Spoiler for volume 11 l'inizio nuovo……:
An Italian hospital sure feels refreshing.
There’re a lot of people who go on overseas trips, but it’s rare for a visitor to be sent to hospital because of an accident, right? Kamijou thinks. Right now, he’s lying on a stretcher, moving about in the darkness as creaking sounds can be heard. The doctor and nurse seem to be saying something to him, but he doesn’t understand it at all. His right shoulder and left hand are bandaged, and there’s an ‘I’m OK!’ bandage on his face…maybe because he got disinfectant sprayed on his face, his eyes sting.
“Should be the disinfectant, I can’t think of anything else! Damn it, why can others use the Amakusa’s bathing technique and let their skin be so silky and smooth…”
“The Adriatic Sea really isn’t that cold.”
“WHY DO YOU LOOK SO HAPPY, INDEX!? WE BOTH SUNK TOGETHER WITH THE SHIP DOWN INTO THE VENETIAN COAST!! OI, YOU’RE HAPPY THAT YOU DIDN’T GET ABANDONED THIS TIME, ARE YOU—”
“!!”
Before Kamijou can finish speaking, Index suddenly trips and falls onto the corridor.
“Since…since when am I happy!!?”
“I got it, you’re alright, right!? Really, you actually made them worried because of something like this, Index. Aren’t you giving Miss Nurse even more trouble? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
Just as Kamijou’s trying to accost the blond nurse, Index chomps on him.
“Touma’s still Touma even if he’s on a stretcher, right!?”
“I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN!!”
The nun who leaped on the stretcher and executed an act of violence is pulled away. Maybe the nurse onee-chan doesn’t understand what they’re saying as she tilts her head to show that she doesn’t understand.
“Yes, what? To…Touma, the doctor told you to pick up the phone.”
Hearing Index say this, Kamijou turns to look at the doctor, wondering why the doctor has a wireless phone in his hand. Is it really alright to use a phone in a hospital? Kamijou thinks, but on further pondering, there should be phones in the hospital as well.
Anyway, he picks up the phone.
The phone seems to be linked, as on picking it up, Kamijou hears a familiar voice.
“Do you have to end up like this even when you’re on a holiday trip?”
It’s the frog-faced doctor.
Kamijou was always taken care of by this doctor in Academy City. To Kamijou, who often gets injured and admitted into the hospital, he feels that this frog-faced doctor is really skilled with his hands.
“Eh, what’s with this suddenly? Ha, don’t tell me you can even diagnose a patient through the phone.”
“If I could, the hospital should start providing handphone service, right? However, because I can’t do that, I’m requesting you to do one thing. You are to immediately come back to Academy City.”
……………………………………………………………WHAT?
“I’m not joking. Even if that facility is an ally of Academy City, it’s not good to let other hospitals check or adjust an ESPer’s body, right?”
“That’s…true. NO, HOWEVER…I MEAN! I CAN’T TAKE THE PLANE IN THIS CONDITION; IT TAKES ABOUT 10 HOURS FOR A PLANE FLIGHT!? BEFORE THAT, I’M COVERED WITH WOUNDS, YOU KNOW!?”
“Ah, don’t worry about that. There should be a supersonic jet parked at the Marco Polo Airport. That can go past 7,000km per hour, so you should reach Japan in an hour, no?”
“A LARGE JET!? ISN’T THAT THE FANTASY NORTH AMERICAN X-15 RESEARCH PLANE!? CAN I REALLY RIDE ON THIS PLANE THAT’S FASTER THAN A BULLET WHEN I DON’T HAVE ANY TRAINING!?”
“No problem, no problem. I rode on it before. The most it feels is like there’s no gravity.”
“THAT THING ONLY NEEDS AN HOUR!? I GUESS ALL THE CONTENTS IN MY STOMACH WILL GO THE WRONG WAY!!”
“No problem, no problem. I rode on it before. Within the first ten minutes, you don’t even have time to think about that.”
WHO SAYS THERE’S NO PROBLEM!! Kamijou hugs his head with full force.
“WAIT A SECOND! I…I BASICALLY HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN IN ITALY FOR ONE DAY? AND I DRANK THE WATER OF THE ADRIATIC SEA TWICE…NO, INCLUDING THE ESCAPE, THAT’S THREE TIMES. I DIDN’T GET INTO THE IMPORTANT VENEZIA ONCE!!”
“Oh my, aren’t you happy with this kind of experience. Anyway, I have one thing to say…I know this is unreasonable, but just give up and come back.”
YOUR TONE IS SO COLD AND UNREASONABLE!! Kamijou again hugs his head.
At this moment, the voice on the other side of the phone continues,
“Oh yes, that cute girl that’s been coming to the hospital to visit knew I was about to call you, so she said that she has some important words for me to pass to you.”
“WHAT???”
Kamijou wonders, who’s this cute girl? Right now, Shirai Kuroko and Himegami Aisa are staying in the hospital. For Himegami, there’s Fukiyose Seiri and Komoe-sensei. On Shirai’s side, there’s Misaka Mikoto—
“Wait a second. Misaka Mikoto?”
Mn, the frog-faced doctor on the other side of the phone carelessly nods his head.
“That’s right. Seems like she said “After you come back, expect me to give you that punishment game from Daihaseisai”?”
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!? I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH HHH!!”
The doctor and nurses force down Kamijou Touma, who’s starting to act violent on the stretcher. They seem to mistake this as some emergency situation.
Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto once bet during Daihaseisai, and Kamijou, who lost the punishment game, has to listen to whatever Mikoto says. If she knows that he forgot about this and went on a tour to Italy…
“WHAT’S WAITING FOR ME IS HELL!! NOW I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK!! ARGHH…WAAIITT!! DON’T USE THAT SPECIALISED TOOL TO HOLD ME DOWN!!”
The stretcher is being carried away.
The person on the other side of the phone says to the sighing Kamijou,
“Alright, then…what should I say? Welcome home, Kamijou Touma.”
Vento of the Front and the Pope:
Spoiler for volume 11 l'inizio nuovo……:
It’s the St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City.
Inside the largest Church of the headquarters of the Roman Catholics, crude footsteps rip the silence in the air apart.
“Cheh, in the end, that idiot Busoni failed. Even the core of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’ was destroyed, and it won’t appear again…really, to think of this ‘Appointed Time of the Rosary’, create that spell, and refined till it can be used, who does he have to thank for all that? I can’t forgive this. What’s more unforgivable is that he actually disappeared! Who’s hiding him? Who am I supposed to exert my pressure on!!”
In this sanctuary that’s engulfed in darkness, a man and a woman are walking about.
As the moonlight that shoots past the glass is too weak, it’s hard to see the details of those two figures.
One of them is bent like an elderly man.
The other seems like a young lady, with a rather exquisite body.
“…But even if it’s you, you’re too anxious. Even though it’s expected that the English Anglicans would get involved, there are obstacles all over the place even if that wasn’t the case…to be honest, even if no one could intervene, that Biagio Busoni wouldn’t succeed. It’s a big mistake to expect that guy to deal with the flaws.”
“Do you know who you’re talking to? What I said is needed to be done will be done. That’s the law of the world. So stupid, don’t you understand even now?”
“Do you know who you’re talking to?”
The old man suddenly becomes a lot more pressuring.
The current atmosphere is already dominated by the old man. This is a situation where one person must reigns supreme; not to lower his head, but to force the other person to lower her head even if she hates it. The person hearing this must seem like she’s being grabbed by an invisible hand and forcefully pulled down. It’s that kind of pressure.
However, the female figure doesn’t change.
“The Pope, so what?”
The female figure replies in a casual tone.
Such a frivolous tone easily shatters the situation of the old man dominating.
“…”
The old man called the Pope is obviously silent.
But the female doesn’t care.
“Don’t be like this. You should know who the Roman Catholics are really under. Even if you disappear, another Pope will just take that seat. But if I disappear, no one can replace me. Can’t you understand that? Do you want to try?”
“Nonsense.”
The old man seems uninterested as he interrupts the woman.
“The only person whom God personally handed the later path of Christianity is St. Peter. After that, the Popes were extremely active, but their main function is to manage the heritage. I was chosen by the crowd, and not from God. I’m clear about that, so don’t say it. It’s painfully obvious, yet I had to say it again. I’m really angry.”
“But didn’t you want it? Not by the number of votes, but the one and only evidence of being chosen by God. And to revive the Roman Catholics, you’re not relying on the majority, but like past Christianity, using only the teachings and will to decide the path.”
“…I’ve already told you not to repeat it again.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. But in my eyes, you really can’t make it. You’re still qualified, so you couldn’t achieve it. Speaking of which, the Pope was chosen by an election. To be chosen can be considered an honour. But you’re not satisfied. The reason is simple: while the ‘Son of God’ and his disciples were preaching, Christianity was a minor sect among the many ideas. Even if it’s a minor sect, their power could win most people. Thus, you feel that getting the majority of the votes has no Holy value. What you believe in is like me, being unrestricted by voting, yet you kept getting only votes…is that troublesome? Or is being bothered by this luxury?”
“!!”
The old man quickly turns his head about.
Pacha, an inexplicable breaking sound can be heard.
Regarding this inexplicable scenario, the female figure doesn’t move. However, the tension and margin between these two’s attitudes has already shown an incomprehensible offensive and defensive result.
“Not a bad malicious intent.”
The woman laughs.
“But if you’re going to show some malice to me, you’ll die, you know?”
After saying that, the female shows her tongue.
The sound of metal colliding can be heard.
There’s a tongue ring in her tongue, and attached to the tongue ring is a little chain that’s used for a necklace. The chain extends down to below the waist, and there’s a little Cross attached to it.
“…”
The man and the woman maintain a foot’s distance between them.
Unhappily, and with a little hint of envy, the man mutters,
“—‘God’s Right Seat’. To you, the Pope isn’t really anything, right?”
“Just knowing that I belong to that ‘group’ shows that you’re still a high-ranking person. Aren’t you satisfied with that?”
The woman seems like she was attacked by something, but she looks like she doesn’t care.
She laughs and says,
“After seeing this, give me a signature.”
“You’re ordering me?...Wait, this document is…”
“You would prepare this information one day, maybe two to three years later. I just shortened the time. Though it’s troublesome, your signature is really powerful. Hurry up and finish it before the sun rises. It’ll be over once you write your own name.”
“But…”
The old man looks hesitant.
“…I still can’t agree with it. Forget about it if he has a really deep link with magic, but that person only doesn’t know the existence of God. Though it’s a sin to have a pagan belief, if he doesn’t know, there’s a way to save him. Regarding this, if you’re going to do it like this, I can only say that I disagree with it…”
“I don’t have a denying style.”
The female figure asserts herself.
“Passiveness, imperativeness, teamwork, solo, past, future, finishing, assumption, what’s after that? I don’t care what it is, I just can’t agree with denying it. I said I want to do this, and I will. No matter whether it’s St. Peter or the ‘Son of God’, this rule won’t change. So you’re going to sign this document, got it?”
The old man holds the document and gently nods his head.
One can see him reveal a somewhat bitter look.
“Very good.”
After saying that, the female figure disappears in the darkness.
Did she really disappear, or did she purposely act like she disappeared? The old man doesn’t consider it. Even if he can’t analyse what the other person used, there isn’t really a problem. No matter what, that woman’s far ahead of him, even if he can’t tell if she’s above him.
He turns to stare at the document.
Inside the light-lit Cathedral, there’s only a dim moonlight shooting in through the glass. The old man’s eyes gaze at the words which aren’t really visible in the darkness.
(…She’s a bit too impatient. Is that her habit?)
Even though he thinks of this, that woman decided on this, so he’ll just leave it as it is. Like what she declared, that woman doesn’t have a denying style.
The old man unhappily returns to his room.
There’s no pen here.
The document reads,
‘Toma Kamijo.
Potrebbe investigare urgentemente. Quando lui è pericolso, lo uccida di Sicuro.’
It means ‘Kamijou Touma. Quickly investigate the above named person. If he’s confirmed to be an enemy of God, eliminate him’.
Even if the Roman Catholics want to mobilise, or even send out ‘God’s Right Seat’, they have to prepare a document to allow an assassination.
Ironically, the Pope in Index is actually a pretty decent guy (You'll see), the rest of the organization might be 'less-than-pleasant', but this is the first time a fictional religious leader (That is not a girl) turns out to be a good person and not a two-face backstabber like... Well, every other Pope in anime fiction.

the pope from trinity blood used to be a useless guy up until he finally mustered some resolve after being taken hostage...and shortly after that, got himself killed taking a blow meant for esther...
this pope is a nice guy, too bad he's a leader in name only...
I think I've just been convinced to watch this for next episodes preview alone. Everything else that should occur within the 24 minute time span of this episode will just be icing on the cake for me.
..............................That was a disappointment... Especially how the arc ended.
But hey, let's think positive! It was a whole lot more interesting than the previous arc.
Wakamoto is great (I'm currently playing Xenoblade, so I can't help but enjoy this voice), but he was defeated too easily. Overall, all of the seriousness was a bit lackluster. Also, plenty of odd moments.
Like... Oh sure, the ship doesn't break before (and someone used the novel to explain why), but now it does? Um...? Yeah... And don't try to say "But it might just be that some parts of the ship are breakable!" to explain this, since that is plot device to the max.
Touma's physical ability is as incredible as ever. I wonder if his Imagine Breaker actually has some hidden stat boost...
As always, I don't know when Kanzaki went dere over Touma...
Wakamoto's weapon was kind of lame...
etc.
Anyways, more new characters, but considering all of the new characters so far, I'm not going to get my hopes up.
But I guess there will be a new OP next time? No more NO PANTSU!! and Mayonnaise anymore...

Heres the actual quotes from the novel to anyone wondering "serenade beta"
= u saw the raw right? I dont know what they said but i think if u watch it in sub it explains a bit when he knocks the door, you could see the surprised look.
Though here is a quote from the novels
“Seems like…no one’s around…”
Orsola holds onto the Angel Staff as she looks around.
“This ship feels like it’s imitating the Doge, which is when the governor steps on the ship. It’s a ship that’s used during the National festival of ‘Marriage to the Sea’.” “Just like a magic ship. This ship controls all the ship functions of the ‘Queen’s Fleet’. It continues to make ice decorations and setups. It’s also a ship that controls and deploys the other ships.”
Hearing Index say this, Kamijou carefully looks around.
“So the nuns won’t be here and the cannons won’t aim here? This ship looks like it can’t be easily repaired by using seawater. If it’s not, there’s no need for so many escort ships around.”
In order to enter the ship, Index reaches her hand out to the nearest door, but even with this, the door won’t open. Looking closely, the keyholes of the doors and the walls are all stuffed with ice. This is basically just like part of the wall.
“Wait a moment; I’ll remove the magic lock…”
Her words are interrupted.
Kamijou steps forward.
“…No need to be so polite. I feel that it’s already too troublesome to worry about all these!!”
With this irritated cry, Kamijou clenches his fist and smashes it into the middle of the door.
BAM!! The door and even the surrounding wall are blown away. With the place where Kamijou punched, there’s a 3m square hole in the wall.
“Really amazing.”
“That’s because this is different from the escort ships; there’s magic on even the walls and floors.”
The lock and even the other constructs were destroyed as well.
The crumbled entrance reveals an inside similar in appearance to the outside of the ‘Queen of the Adriatic Sea’, like an interior cruise pathway. But the space 3m inside is also cut, eradicated cleanly. Seems like the hit just now wasn’t just limited to a square, but also a cube. There’s even only half of an Angel-figure wall light.
“This is a block structure.”
Index explains clearly,
“This removes the bare minimum required to minimise the damage. So even if it’s Touma’s right hand, it can’t destroy everything in one go.”

Unfortunately, that's the novel. Just because the novel explained it doesn't mean the anime doesn't need to.
u understand japanese right?
I dont but i think they mention it but not they way the novels did it. I think it was when he punched the wall thinking he'll break it and he had the confused look. If they didn't mention it. thats too bad
^Heh~ Great.

Doesn't matter. If it bothers you enough to ask about it on the internet then there shouldn't be a problem getting the answer from us After all this is one way to carry on talks about the series.
If you don't feel the need to ask about it, then it wasn't really a serious issue now is it?

Mmm~ But it does matter. I was mentioning how the anime didn't bother explaining it, if there an explanation (which there seems to be). Therefore, the fact the novel explains it doesn't cover it up.
So the novel explains it. Does that change the fact the anime didn't? No. And now someone explains it to me, and I "understand" now. So the anime not explaining is okay now? No.
And of course it isn't a serious issue. Feeling the need to ask something doesn't necessarily make something a serious issue. Because by that logic, there are sure a lot of serious issues over the net everyday.

Mmmmm....preview....
Oh wait, there was an episode in there:
+Agnese and Orsola scenes were all pretty awesome
+Touma's right hand, stripping nuns since July 20th...
+Bishop was pretty badass and for once Touma doesn't just steamroll everyone
+Relating the plot of this to a plot to destroy Academy City, yay
And we get the return of Agnese's mop, too bad it didn't get much use. I figured she would use its linking ability to somehow reflect the cross weight thing...
As far as the explanation of why his hand can destroy things, "the control center ship is different" is enough for me. Anime doesn't need full explanations when the intended audience has easy access to the source material.

I'm afraid that if they do, this series will turn out to be more of the walls of text than what people already know it as.
I don't think anyone would want to like people listening to more stuff apart from Touma's preaching.
That and remember per episode is done on 30 minutes. If they bother to explain all that to you then I wonder how much can they distribute in a season...
... Uh, by the way, I'm that kind of guy who goes like "Okay, so this happens. What's next?" because in an episode that's all I need to proceed with it. So asking me anything won't do much help either. :P
... Now that I just started watching the subs, Index does explain it with a very simple sentence: "Unlike the others, this ship's structure is controlled by magic."
