| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Rosalie is Lady Polignac's daughter?! TWEEEEEEST Also poor Charlotte, this show is so tragic ;_; |
| poor Charlotte. royal pedophilia. and I'm surprised it took her so long to do it. cuz when Andre rushed in with the news abt Rosalie's mom, I thought he was coming to give news abt Charlotte and AHA! you know, when that bit had run over Rosalie's mom and they were doing all the closeups I had thought they looked rather similar and the idea flashed thru my mind also sooooo many Utena moments! also clearly we got rid of those dresses cuz they made running away impossible swear women can't take 2 quick steps in this show without falling over oh but then we got high heels. damn. |
 |
| Wow that was a very heavy episode, so much happened. First it gets revealed that Rosalie is Polignacs Daughter (On a subconscious level I somehow expected this, it didn't surprise me that much). In the same time Rosalie loses both her ambitions - to kill Polignac and to meet ehr real mother. I wonder what she will do next. Then we also get shown how the time back then really was paradise for pedobear and his companions. The only we to escape for Charlotte was suicide. It was a rushed decision though, in her stead I would have preferred to run away and live a poor life. I didn't see her death coming. Very tragic episode, the best one so far in the anime. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Well, that was an incredibly depressing episode. I thought that Jeanne would somehow die or something, given the title of the episode. But, when it was revealed that Charlotte was Rosalie's sister, along with the turn of events for her, I pretty much knew where the episode was going. Damn, couldn't something have been done? I think polignac ONLY has herself to blame here. Well, I can't help but think Oscar could have somehow helped her. |

| Wooow. Spectacular episode. O: Even though it was so tragic in the end, it was incredibly well done. Somehow, I never predicted that either of these twists would happen... but at least this episode explains why Rosalie looks so similar to Polignac and Charlotte (well, at least in my opinion). I'm sort of glad that Polignac was mourning about Nicole's death and what she'd done. It showed a side of her I definitely didn't expect to see - a more humane one, and one with a conscience. If Rosalie is Polignac's daughter that she bore when she was 15, who's Jeanne's mother!? Surely not Polignac? And as for the other twist... Like others, I didn't expect Charlotte, of all people, to commit suicide. (Though she had definitely snapped at the end. Poor thing. I felt horrible that she had to be victim to Medieval pedophilia...) |
| This episode sure was intense. Poilgnac only has herself to blame for everything she married off her daughter to some pedophile mother of the year right here! I knew what was going to happen when Charlotte started washing her hands although I was expecting her to drown herself in the fountain and not fall from the tower. Poor Rosalie the mother she knew and loved died, Jeanne turned into a greedy witch, her real mother killed the mother she loved, and her biological sister went insane and killed herself in front of her. Wonder what will come of her next? I really hate Poilgnac, but I know the karma train will smack her head on before the end of the series. I really hope so. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Whoa...that was a heavy episode. First Rosalie is Poilgnac's daughter and fails to kill her. Poilgnac realizes who she is and who she killed and the wave of regret hits her but chooses to pray to be protected by god. Then she tries to marry off her other daughter to a pedophile and does it even against Charlotte's wishes so she goes crazy and kills herself. Boy karma finally hit her hard, but I do feel bad for Rosalie, what will she do now? |
 |
| Not surprising that Polignac is actually Rosalie's real mother. The first time i see Charlotte and Rosalie during the ball, they look like twins. BUT WHY THE FUCK SOMEBODY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHERED TO CATCH THE GIRL WHILE FALLING? Are these nobles brain dead or something? Odin gracious. |
| Wow can't believe Charlotte killed herself. She was only 11, why would you marry her off to an old man?! He was a creep |
 |
| I totally saw the twist about Rosalie and polignac coming, but good grief, Charlotte killed herself?! Poor girl... That dude was truly a creep, I was so mad polignac was willing to marry her off to him. But I like how she's not as two-dimensional as du Barry; she was super regretful when she found out Rosalie was her daughter, and was heartbroken when Charlotte killed herself. By the way, did all this stuff really happen? Because polignac was a real person... |
 |
| Ah, I was spoiled earlier so it didn't hit me with surprise that Rosalie was the daughter. I liked that Polignac showed up some regret. Though I'm surprised Charlotte commit suicide. He only kissed her hand... at least attempt to run away first or something. That escalated quickly. No, no. History isn't so melodramatic (most of the time). This is fictionalized and shoujo-fied. |
| Hahahahahaha, oh the freaking irony. Mirorin said: Though I'm surprised Charlotte commit suicide. He only kissed her hand... at least attempt to run away first or something. That escalated quickly. Yes that felt quite exaggerated. She made it seem like she had just been molested or worse when it was just a kiss on the hand. Definitely not something to go psycho over and kill yourself yikes. |

I mean she was fainted hearing the duke's laugh, I wasn't too surprised when she commited suicide because of that. I still don't get the hatred Rosalie has toward Polignac. Technically, Polignac didn't kill her 'mother'. It was pure an accident. Ah well.. |
| what a brilliant episode...............if only the show started off like this as well. this is the kind of darkness I was expecting dang that was my favorite episode so far, I loved it. (I was expecting someone to catch her, Oscar to be exact) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| This show doesn't just impress. It appalls. For some reason, I still expected some glimmer of hope and salvation, but this show isn't kidding around about being a tragedy. |
| Favorite episode so far! I'd guessed that Rosalie was Polignacs daughter. Glad to see Polignac faced with regret, felt like less of a bad guy. And she also seemed to know Rosalies adoptive mother well? Poor Charlotte, being forced to marry that creep at the age of eleven... and the events following :'( |
| God, this episode was good. First that amazing cut of Rosalie pointing the gun to Polignac, then the twist (which I feel ashamed of not predictin), then Polignac's guilt and Charlotte's suicide. I don't think you guys are being far to Charlotte, though. I mean, she is eleven! How could she run away or live by herself? Not when you are basically trapped in Versailles. Being poor after such luxuries would be unberable for her (that humiliated Rosalie for ''not being a noble''). I think that, in her place, I would do the same. The woman she trusted the most not only attacked her beloved Oscar but is selling her to monster. |
| Well, that was fucked up. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| This was a good episode. The girl was only 11! She didn't deserve getting married to some pedo so I felt for her. I expected the suicide but I still felt sad that she died. I'm disappointed with Polignac, I was hoping she would revoke her daughter's marriage after she regretted what she had done but nope, she left it as it is. |
| Two things First, this show is pretty much hit and miss, and this episode was a massive hit. Best episode of the series and some. Second, Poignac is a million times worse than du Barry. At least du Barry was self centered enough to not drag anyone else in her misery. What Poignac did to Charlotte, as a mother is absolutely inexcusable. Probably the only time in any anime/manga/movie whatsoever I wanted the character with a gun to shoot the perpetrator. |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Idc if you think its weird, I have a life and friends and an income of money. |
| I would have preferred if they had actually built Charlotte's story more instead of cramming it all into one episode and expecting the audience to be invested in it. Her entire character just felt like an empty plot device. |
| HOLY FUCK. This episode was insane. All of those TWISTS. Seriously that scene with Charlotte cleaning her hand off in the fountain is iconic. VERY good episode, I must say. Also that scene at the end with Rosalie crying was just masterful. |
| karma is a bitch, dang lol |
| Utterly stunned. This anime... I swear gets heavier as the episodes go by, so much so, it's actually feels tough to get through it. I did not expect that. God fucking dammit, I DESPISE that mother and her TWISTED 'values'. Death would had been so easy for her, but unfortunately, this is the punishment she's gonna have to endue for abusing her daughter's well-being like that. So sickening to see the mental decay slowly tear her down like that, especially from that dinner scene, followed by the next night of being taken advantage of so abruptly. TO HELL WITH THESE NOBLES! |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Damn, this episode was awesome! That ending! So tragic. |
| Talk about melodrama... |
 |
| Well, the hand-kiss was definitely a representative for something far more morbid. That was easily the best episode in the series so far, so powerful - I'm so proud of Rosalie, she not only realised the futility of an endless cycle of loss and revenge, but was kind enough to cry for a sister she barely even knew. Polignac breaking down after realising she had accidentally killed her old benefactor was also quite poignant - while she may have been portrayed in an evil light for being greedy, it wasn't so rare among the nobility in those days to use politics in order to further their House's status. If anything, she's really good at it - but by marrying her daughter so early, against her will, to an absolute cartoon villain was a terrible move - and she will pay dearly for it. |
| Thank god, Charlotte might be 11, but she actually seems to be norm- oh... Idk how to feel, on one hand, this episode was actually (finally) pretty good, but on the other I think that Charlotte's death was way overboard, not to mention that her character was barely builded up. I hoped Polignac to actually change a bit and stop that lolicon from marry her daughter, but I guess that some sweet karma is good as well. I feel sorry for wtf'ing into laughing during the final scenes, but her crazy reaction into jumping was too good. |
 |
| Poor Charlotte. She was only 11 :( |
| What a revelation, but Rosalie and Polignac are looking really similar to each other,so maybe not that surprising, at least compared to what happened afterwards. Charlotte taking her life was quite shocking,seemed like the better solution to her than being married with a pedo.. what a tragedy :/ |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I knew there was something going on after all the close-ups of Polignac and Rosalie, not really surprising. As for Charlotte, it's true that we didn't have development nor episodes dedicated to her to even care about her character, but calling the situation her exagerated or whatever is stupid. Yeah, he only kissed her hand but he was going to marry her and she didn't an option. What, should she keep living there and let the man rape her? a kid? She probably didn't even think about running away and living as a poor woman since she was only 11 years old and after living a 'rich' life, she wouldn't even survive by herself. And look at the man's face when he meets her, he's probably into kids... disgusting. I feel sorry for her, first her mother and her actions and then this. |
| Yep this must have been when Osamu Dezaki took over directing cause of the postcard memories and the suffering just got amped up alot of notches. Spoiled myself on Rosalie being Polignac's daughter when I googled Martine Gabrielle in an earlier episode.Figured Rosalie wouldn't be able to kill her,but blood relations had nothing to do with it,Rosalie is just too kind of a soul. Liked that Polignac showed regret over killing Nicole,but her marrying off Charlotte to a pedo was just stupid and she only has herself to blame for Charlotte's suicide. Speaking of Charlotte's suicide it seemed excessive that she went crazy and killed herself over a kiss on the arm,if it had it been rape maybe yes,then again she probably knew that would eventually happen so she decide to just end it herself. |
| This was really epic. The best one so far 10/10 |
 |
| I wasn't expecting that much despair in one episode tbh, now with something like this I think that the only way for this show to end is bad for every characters Also Louis XVI being NTR'ed lul |

| Didn't expect Rosalie to be really related to that Polignac, cruel fate indeed. Kinda wish Rosalie would have fired a round or two. Still good to see Polignac feeling guilt over killing Nicole who took care of her first child and grieving over Charlotte's suicide after marrying her off to a pedo. |
 |
| Really emotional episode. I never thought that Rosalie was related to Polignac, that really shocked me. Polignac is the most character that I've hated in this, probably in any anime. She's such a disgusting person, How can she do that to her own daughter? Allowing her to marry a pedo like that... Poor Charlotte |
| Joe, Joe Forever.... |
| Poor Charlotte. I hated the pedo duke. That kind of thing was widespread back in the day, but damn it's hard to see it even in a shoujo anime context. Poor girl. The Rosalie thing I knew it was coming, I had suspected it for a while. They even look similar. Add more drama to the mix |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Atleast they didn't lewd the loli. Rosalie's life is so twisted that she doesn't know how to feel with everything that is happening. Her mother died > her sister became a mad swindler > her blood mother is the killer of her real mother... now her little sister died at 11... poor girl... |
| One of Polignac's daughters killed herself and the other one tried to killed her own mother... the worst mom of 16th century confirmed. |
| I hate everyone equally |
