Episode 10: Atonement's Return
Recap from last time:
After promising to change himself, Luke begins anew and will do what he can to save the cheerleader the world.
Key plot points: (short & sweet version)
Episode thoughts:
Right, then. This whole episode, as you may have gathered from the very short summary above, was about rescuing Ion and Natalia. Everyone still seems to mistrust Luke, but as Tear says, it's going to be difficult to regain everyone's trust. At least they were considerate enough to not exclude him from joining in the rescue mission. Looks like Anise has lost all interest in Luke (calling him a spoiled brat), but it can go either way: Tear gets more screen time and the upper hand on Luke or Anise will eventually grow attached to Luke. Anyways, how many times will Ion be kidnapped, man, it's happening every two or so episodes. Then again, he is an important figure in the world, so you can't blame him for being wanted to be kidnapped so often.
Luke is definitely showing he's changing, by actually saying thank you to both Tear and Guy. Both are shocked (Guy even more so) but appreciate his gesture of thanks. Finally, Luke is able to muster the ability to have his first kill, an Oracle Knight. As they say, it's gotta be the hair...
Next episode, City of Falling Snow, the group travel to the a city where it's snowing (what else!?). Looks like we'll learn the history of Jade's (and others like Dist, etc) childhood before he became a necromancer.

Key plot points: (short & sweet version)
- Tear and Luke find out from Tear's grandfather that the fall of Akzeriuth was foretold in Yulia's Score and was bound to happen, including the inevitable war to follow suit.
- Tear and Luke "warp" back to the Outer Lands and discover Guy waiting for them and later Jade waiting for Guy to bring bad news.
- Ion and, now, Natalia have been taken as hostages by Grand Maestro Mohs in the Oracle Headquarters located in Daath, using them and the fall of Akzeriuth as excuses to start a war.
- The group rescue Ion and Natalia from the Oracle Headquarters and flee. Ion suggests they find sanctuary in the Mulkuth Empire, thanks to Asch leaving the Tartanus in the Daath port.
