Those winged girls (I don't remember name of this nation) are surprisingly pretty good in battle.

It's feeling kind of meh right now. The sidestory was nice, but I'm glad we'll probably be getting back to Hakuoro. I wanted to see more of Karura, but more about why she was in chains and has that superhuman strength. Oh well :/

It does indeed look like his head was missing, or covered by his arms lifted. It's actually hard to guess correctly, but i'm gonna go wild here and say she just knocked him out, since i didn't see blood spurt out.

I think the superhuman strength was a trait of their race, the Giriyagima, and appearantly only Karura & her brother are the only ones left of that race.

Ahh, thanks for that little bit of insight. I was hoping the superhuman strength thing would be explained as well, but you've offered a reasonable answer to that. I think the chain around her neck was just from that time she was in prison - before Hakuoro freed her and then chained her up in one of Tusukuru's dungeons (though not by that chain around her neck, and not for long).

Looking forward to finding out more about Hakuoro again as well, and that empress from the other country with the complicated name and funky mask.

Lol I was thinking the exact same thing.

Anyways, awesome episode! The more Karura screen time, the better. :)

Karura is such a tomboy but that's what I like about her.

it bugs me when stuff like this happens in anime.Why does she have to ignore her brother she lost.Hell its shown he can easily travel to visit and vice versa.I understand you want him to stand on his own but you dont need to cut him off completly.That annoying issue aside another good episode down though the villian in this one was pretty meh.

I think so. She did it so cleanly, there wasn't even blood. I bet the guy didn't even know what hit him.

Wow at first I thought Karula is going to die based on the episode title 'Goodbye'. Thankfully shes not lol.

I really want to see her to at least talk, or hug her brother but I guess she can't since that might make her brother sticks with her..

Also, I think that chain came from the time she was enslaved. I think she could easily take it off but she won't cause the chain serves to prove that right now she is just a slave, not her old self - the princess.

Two things that surprised me:
1. Angels are actually fighting in battle. I thought they just observe.
2. The evil slave king was defeated so easily. Thought he will pose more of a threat. He wasnt even much of a villian. Just a small fry.

Good episode, though that king didn't have much of a plan after getting Karura to visit him.

Evil slave king, what a joke lol.
Karura punching that guy's head off wow.
More Karura always good!
Would be weird if Delihourai didn't know she was his sister even if she denied it.

That king was overthrown very easily with very little input of the new king who was just following Hakuoro and harems orders all the time. We still don't know why Karura was on a slave boat in chains nor why she is so strong; her brother didn't look stronger than average.

Script writen by Nada Yutaka. I'm disappointed.

Nice, more of Karura's backstory. I'm starting to see a bit of the limitations of a VN adaptation by now, as a lot of the minor scenes I enjoyed were left out due to episode restraint.

Thought Suonkasu would put up more of a fight, with how contemplative and confident he was. He threw one throwing knife and then died. Word must not have got around about how overpowered Hakuouro's entourage is yet.
