    I guess Mao (if that was her name) learns about some chateau full of people sucked from all their blood by Diva, and the house burned down afterwards. Haji and Saya met Sif, who didn't affect Solomon. An aWeSoMe fight went on, and that Guy guy.............. hurt Haji too much!!!!!!!!! Arrrggggghhhhhh! I hate him!!! I'm so happy he died! Anyone who does that to Haji will die!!!!

    Te battle Haji vs. Sif was so darn awesome, so many action and suspense. Haji was kinda really tough and a hell lot faster than what we've seen. But he's suffered more pain than in Broken Heart, but OWCH, the number Amshel did on him at that episode hUrT.

    Overall, awesome episode.moreless
  • The Shiff appear in more detail and purpose. Solomon wouldn't fall to their blades, would Hagi or Saya? Saya and Hagi run off, leaving every body else behind. The rest return to the Red Shield. Kai demands answers adn finally gets some.moreless

    I thought that this was a great episode. In the english version, there is a scene where Solomon thinks to himself about the Shif, 'Amshel, what have you done?'. I had missed this the first time through. That explains some things for me. The combat scenes where pretty cool. I liked the commentary between the two Schiff, Guy and the girl with the long blonde hair - 'what souless creatures we are'. For some reason, that quote reminds me of the Tool song Vicarious: "the universe is hostile, so impossible, we devour to survile, so it is, so it's always been." The Shiff track down Saya, thinking that her blood is the key to their very survival, but they are just moments too late as the sun rise is their death. Hagi fights like a paladin in hell and is severly injured. I like the Japanese version of Mao better than the english, but still, she is a trip. Mao and the reporter make their way to France, seemingly on a colition course with Saya and Hagi.moreless
  • We formally meet the Schiff.

    On their way to the zoo, Saya and Haji encounter the Schiff, a strange bunch who are after a Chevalier's blood. It appears they are afflicted with a strange disease, which spreads thorn-like marks all over their body. Presumably they die after that.

    I kinda like the Schiff, but it's weird to see so many people in black cloaks with so many different weapons. It reminded me of Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts II.

    Anyway, an afflicted Schiff tries and fails to use Haji's blood to cure her, so after that, their next target is Saya. Fortunatley for her, the sun rises and they're forced to retreat.

    It was really interesting to finally see all the Schiff at once. We certainly haven't seen the last of them.moreless
