Remember that giant talking bear we met earlier in the arc? You also remember that create that attacked Haru when he opened the door to Rave? Guess what, they're the same person! And even thoug he is a bear, he was once a person; a human known as Gearhound who has served under the command of Rave Master Shiva. He was one of the Soutain Swordsman; four legendary swordsman that were ranked highly in the kingdom of Symphonia, now deceased souls who have taken the form of animals in order to protect the scattered Raves. Gearhound trusted Haru enough to lend him the Rave of Knowledge. Schneider, who snuck in the Rave chamber, immediately attacked Gearhound. This angered Haru, which forced him to test out his newly acquired powers. Haru was given speed and a new sword called Silfarion that adds to his speed. Schneider was no match for Silfarion.
Gearhound, who has already outlived his purpose, decides to go back to the underworld so he can rest in peace forever. Haru, Elie, Musica honour his death, while Plue continues to hug his leg, demanding him to stay. Gearhound left anyways, wondering the true identity to Elie. The language that Elie spoke earlier was in Symphonian, and according to him, is pretty difficult to learn. Plus, Gearhound claims that her appearence closely matches the previous Princess to Symphonia. Could Elie be a descendent to a princess? The whole funeral was spoiled when Shuyda and co. arrive.
This episode had its ups and downs. Its ups is its progressing story. A ton of information was indeed revealed, which just made it more interesting. Its downs though are the lack of awesome battles it could have produced. The Schneider and Haru fight could have turned out interesting, instead it was short lived. Plus, Gearhound promised Haru to fight him when they entered the Rave chamber, but they didn't! And Haru crying easily just made him seem like a wuss. It's okay to cry sometimes, but the way Haru did it, he seemed kind of pathetic. Oh well, the upcoming episode seems promising with Shuyda entering the scene.moreless
EDIT
Episode Summary
Dearhound reveals a few secrets about himself and the rave stones after Haru proves himself in battle.''Not only does Dearhound know Plue, but in a previous life he was one of four Knights of The Blue Sky who fought along side of Sheba and the army of Symphonia to defeat the Shadow Stones, a battle that only Sheba and Plue survived. Returning in the form of his favorite animal, a bear, Dearhound became the guardian of the Rave of knowledge. When all the Rave Stones are gathered their true power will be revealed which will probably have something to do with promoting good and destroy the root of evil so there will never be another war.''The Rave of Knowledge gives Haru the power to attack faster then the speed of sound and transform his sword to Silfarion, which is used on Schneider when he sneaks in to the temple to steel it.''Giving Haru the Rave Stone, Dearhound is free to pass on, but not before giving us a tantalizing hint that Elie has a mysterious power and resembles the Lady Raysha Valentine from 50 years ago.moreless
