With the brief intro of this episode, Kuu is shown in the research facility’s test tube with Kazuya telling her to go with him. She reaches out to him and the facility explodes. Back in the present, Kazuya refers to Kuu as Cielo, which shocks Kuu. Setsuna tries to protect Kuu. She identifies the other Absolute Angel as Megingjord. Megingjord goes on a psychological attack on Setsuna by using Kyoshiro’s affection towards Kuu against her. Kazuya tries to bring Setsuna to his side, but she refuses. Setsuna attacks Kazuya, but he takes the hit as if it was nothing.

Finally the story is starting to move. Half of the previous episodes were pretty useless in my opinion. At least now we see Waruteishia in action and obviously Setsuna’s no match for her. Then with the egotistical Kazuya, who’s probably even stronger than Waruteishia, Setsuna’s attack against him is pretty futile.

Kazuya goes on to explain that Kuu filled him with her Absolute Angel mana. Megingjord uses here power on Kuu this time and exlains to her that the two of them make up the complete Megingjord. Kuu is the body while the other, calling herself Waruteishia was the spirit placed in a host body. Waruteishia talks Kuu into combining with her and becoming whole again. The combination manifests out the mech known as Megingjord. Setsuna summons out her mech, but is easily defeated.

Here we find out why Kuu’s personality is so weak. She’s an empty shell with pretty much no soul in her leading to her passive nature. I guess it also explains why she gave in so easily to Waruteishia to merge with her lost spirit. I don’t want to be mean, but what chance did Setsuna stand against the summoned Megingjord?

Kyoshiro gets up by then, but is hammered to the floor by Kazuya. Surprisingly, Kyoshiro lives even after the stone floor is broken by his head. Kazuya reveals to Kyoshiro that he never thought about saving the world. He goes on to explain that he never intended to save Kyoshiro at the lab. He just happened to be in the way and it just so happened he got shoved into an escape pod. After that, he knocks Kyoshiro into the wall and leaves with a memory-erased Kuu. Waruteishia leaves while carrying away Setsuna.

Alright, if I my head was slammed on to a stone ground hard enough to create an impact crater, I’m pretty sure I would be dead on impact. However, this is a fictional, fantasy story and therefore must be accepted as is. Anyway, I found Kazuya’s explanations for the events that happened at the research facility entertaining. The story from Kyoshiro is completely twisted. Kazuya created the havok that occurred and Kyoshiro just happened to be in the right place at the right time to survive the event.

The next day, Mika’s temple is under attack by Kazuya. While trying to persuade Kaon to go away with him, Mika attacks Kazuya with that guitar, though it’s not a guitar, just looks like one to me. Apparently it’s an instrument to seal an Absolute Angel’s mana. Mika describes that she has always seen through his mask revealing that Kazuya went as far as stealing her girl friends away from her. Kaon is summoned to attack Kazuya, but she is unsuccessful. Himiko tries to save Kaon, but Kaon won’t let her. Himiko won’t hear of it and gives Kaon all her energy anyway. Unfortunately, Kaon is still unsuccessful. Kazuya mortally wounds Mika and destroys her temple. Despite hating Himiko, Mika gives her the key to the instrument and tells her to save Kaon. Out in a garden, Kazuya is enjoying the company of his Angels.

Now that all but one of the Angels have been gathered, I can predict that the next target will be cat girl. And after that, the remaining characters will join forces to reclaim their Angels. Seeing as how Kazuya owned two of his siblings, it’s going to be quite the Deus Ex Machina that saves the day. Most likely Kyoshiro pulling out Kuu’s letter to him and some kind of act of love to get Kuu’s memories back and then Kuu, in a fit of rage and passion, will power up and save the day. Maybe.
