As the angels begin their search for the holy child, Charioce seeks to end the legend of the Rag Demon.
Episode Focus: The End of a Legend (Azazel, Kaisar, Nina, and Charioce)
With Charioce considering himself a slayer of sorts, of course he finds it embarrassing that his personal guard and elite knights can’t handle one demon. So rather than handle things like they would in a child’s cartoon, he decides to do the job himself. So he decides to hold public executions of demons to draw out Azazel and it works.
However, Kaisar is looking to stop him from getting killed. Yet, it isn’t clear how he plans to stop Charioce’s small army. Though with Nina having complicated feelings about Azazel’s crusade, and her not wanting him to die, upon Kaisar seeking Rita and the others to help, Nina rushes to the ambush site before anyone can stop her.
Commentary
Look for Nina to turn into a dragon again in the next episode. For never mind her inability to look at beautiful men, but that honestly may be the only means she has to fight against the mass of soldiers looking to finish off the last bounty there is. Plus, with this season being 24 episodes, and Charoice being touted as the kind of guy who lives for crusades and isn’t much for just sitting on the throne, he needs a new mission. So best believe when he realizes there are dragons masquerading as humans, and they are probably as strong, if not stronger, than Nina? Psh, he’ll see it as a blessing in disguise. Especially after he came face to face with her in an arm wrestler contest and got flipped.
Subplot 1: Back Into Heaven (Bacchus)
Despite an embarrassing defeat and Kaisar’s belief that the angels and demons may form up for retribution against humans, it seems the angels, at the very least, don’t want that. If anything, they want to regain the faith of humans and they need Azazel’s little sidekick for that. Problem is, being that Lord Gabriel and the rest aren’t all knowing, they don’t know where the Holy Child is. However, being that Bacchus lives amongst humans, much less is a bounty hunter, they figure he can find out. Much less, this could be a good incentive for him if he ever wants to return to heaven. A place where he claims he left voluntarily but others say he was exiled from.
Commentary
I really need to just sit down and finish season 1. That is the only way I’m probably going to fully get what is going on. For with this topic and the one below, it is clear that there were probably some plots that established certain relationships and events that someone new to the franchise just wouldn’t get. Things I don’t think the show is going to recap to catch you up to speed. Though with a lot of shows having recap episodes nowadays, maybe I speak too soon.
Subplot 2: Favaro (Nina)
Nina reveals that Favaro was her teacher when it comes to bounty hunting to the shock of Rita, and all awake to hear.
Commentary
Favaro is the lead of season 1 and his absence, probably to the chagrin of those who completed the first season, doesn’t go unnoticed. For while Nina is likable, and has her comedic moments, Favaro is on a whole other level. Well, at least from watching, let’s say, 3-4 episodes, it seems that way. Though what will make his return worth it is because he was much more balanced between being a comedic character and someone you could actually take seriously. Compared to Nina who is just, uncontrollably, boy crazy and goofy.
