Azure Flame Reloaded

Picking up from where episode 12 left off… King: Dearest Barty! Barty: Your Highness, how I missed your skills on the giant penis airship, which is probably where I was all this time. Oh, and Gerald, thank you for protecting my beloved students.

Naoji serves Camus tea. Naoji: I know I should only do this for Lui, but since he sent me away I haven’t had the chance to wear my butler’s uniform and make tea as often as I’d like. Cut to Beruze vs. King- dissolve into boss battle with FF8 battle music. Beruze: I shall fight [...]

Picking up where episode 10 left off… Orphe: You- you really love him more? After all we’ve been through together? Lui: Orpherus, the studio may bill you as the main character but I’m the one the fans love. Don’t expect any sympathy from the audience. Orphe: Fine, then, I’ll just go back to loyal Ed.

Isaac is angsting by himself. Isaac: I always wanted to ‘shoot’ at Orphe, but not quite so literally! What do I do now- can I ever go back to the side of good? Cut to Bernard’s office, where the non-bishie alliance is gathering.

Elmunt takes Camus to his humble abode. Elmunt: Camus, I know it’s early days in our relationship, but I wanted to invite you home to meet my parents- or at least my mother. You see, ours is a poor family, typical lone hardworking mother, earnest son (that’s me) and chirpy younger siblings. Most importantly, though, [...]

The ‘inner circle’ finds a letter from Camus. Orphe: This can’t be right…it says here that Camus has gone back home- that he’s deserted the inner circle! Collective gasp. Orphe: Camus, your gentle heart… Ludwig: …and sweet face…

Camus is feeling ill. Orphe: Camus, what’s wrong? Camus: My Otome-sense is tingling- something has happened to Ed! Orphe: Not my beloved Ed.

Ed’s stepmother of EVILZ visits Beruze. Stepmother: Beruze, we have much to discuss. Last season you promised to get Eduard out of the way, and yet he is still here. Beruze: I had the small issue of trying to overthrow the king to occupy me last year- but never fear, for I am back, and [...]
