Cold open[]

The Armadillo awakened tries to surge the Yoma power of Deneve and Clare and turn them into awakened beings. But nothing happens as Deneve and Clare are half-awakened to begin with. Armadillo has inadvertently increased their power, putting himself at even further disadvantage.[7]

Doomed[]

Quicksword[]

Deneve and Clare attack. Clare lets her arm go berserk, Armadillo unable to control the uncontrollable. He spring out his quills, destroying Deneve's hip and abdomen.[8]

Deneve regenerates her wounds at hyper-speed. Then she cuts halfway through his neck, but cannot cut all the way through. Undine, with her Twin Sword technique, pushes Deneve's sword through, decapitating Armadillo.[9]

Escape[]

The disembodied head makes a getaway, while trying to awaken Wendy and Yuliana and turn them into awakened. But Flora and Clare chop the head apart midair.[10]

Miria[]

Clare panics when she realizes that Miria is alone with her team. But her comrades are unconcerned, as Miria is a No. 6.

Elsewhere in the village, Miria decapitates the head of teh Dreadlock awakened. By the time Clare and her comrades arrive, the combat is over.[11]

Undine[]

Dissent[]

Tabitha carries Yuma, who lost her left arm. When the battle group reassembles, Undine argues that Miria's plan will fail and that everyone will be killed.[12]

Scene 054a
Yuma wounded

Flora argues back that the plan succeeded as there have been no fatalities, plus even the higher-number warriors gained experience fighting awakened.

Undine demands the location of the extra supplies from Cynthia, who meekly directs Undine to the shed behind the Eastern Inn. Undine leaves in a huff. Miria is concerned that Undine has realized what Miria earlier told her comrades in the cavern—that the battle plan has no chance of success.[13]

Discovery[]

In the supply shed, Deneve ignores Undine's pleads for privacy and enters a room. She discovers Undine's true physical form. A frail, deflated Undine shivers in the cold while trying to recover from her combat injuries.[14]

Sword-match[]

Flora orders Clare to the outskirts of the village. Flora apologizes, but says they need to spar.[15]

Additional details[]

Notes[]

  • In the anime, Armadillo tries to force Wendy and Yuliana to behead each other with their swords
  • The anime Flora eavesdrops on the Paburo hunt four and discovers the dire situation the battle group faces
  • The manga Flora is fully aware of the situation and tries to placate Undine
  • The anime Flora is hostile to Clare and thinks Clare stole her sword arm from Ilena
  • The manga Flora shows no prior knowledge of Ilena's existence and has a friendly sword-match with Clare
  • The anime Jean interrupts the sword-match, which never takes place
