Heroic Age 22: Belcross rasengan!
Posted in Anime, Heroic Age on Sep 5th, 2007 By Runningkid




Summary: As Purome Ou transfers her memory to Deianeira the number of silver tribe members who supports the discussion increased again. At first it was difficult for Deianeira to interpret the memory due to the different structure of their memory. Before the princess sets off to guide the Argonaut to the planet Elysion, Purome Ou warns her that if they do not succeed in finding the golden tribe’s power, many who supports may once again seek the destruction of the humans. But still she believes in hope and that she is glad they met.
As the Argonaut “warp in”, Captain Moebeed sends a copy of the conversation between the princess and Purome Ou to the entire fleet . Meanwhile the battle still rages on between the 3 nodos. Karukinus decide to join the battle again since he believes a victor must be decided soon. However, this time Yuti does not stop Karukinus, Lekti suspects Yuti has already lost control. With Mehitaka smashed into the surface of a nearby planet, Belcross was once again at disadvantage. Exhanging hits the 3 nodos decends towards the surface of the planet.


Yuti started to show symptoms of mental chaos, Lekti immediately travel back in time to prevent this from happening but instead her attack triggered Belcross to enter mental chaos. So again, she tries but this time she finds herself being blocked by Mehitaka. Although he did save Belcross, he exhausted himself and was no longer able to maintain his nodos form, as he transform back to human Lekti catches Mehitaka in her hands. It was time to end the fight, Belcross gathered a ball of energy which broke down all of Yuti’s attack. Nothing could stop this attack, Yuti could do nothing, suddenly Karukinus jumped in the way. This was the death of Karukinus.
Yuti was mad, she finally enters mental chaos. Her body grew until it was half the size of the planet then she released an attack which wiped out everything. Even Lekti could not reverse time, soon it was just empty space. The only one left was Yuti, in her human form, floating in space until Romero came to collect her. The episode ends with tears flowing down her cheek.


Thoughts: Not a bad episode, although I wasn’t convinced when Belcross gained the upper hand before Karukinus joined since last episode Yuti had no problem with both Mehitaka and Age. Perhaps it’s the effects of mental chaos, the closer you get to entering this condition the stronger you get. I also wonder how Yuti exited mental chaos, I thought once a nodos enters they cannot return to normal (except for Age but he had help from Deianeira).


Deianeira now carries a huge burden since if they don’t find the golden tribe’s power the humans will be destroyed. Something tells me it won’t be as simple as landing on Elysion and obtaining it straight away. The fights were pretty good, although I didn’t expect Karukinus to die (at least not this early). At least he fulfilled his contract by protecting Yuti even if it was through death. That Belcross resaengan was a bit random, but I guess it’s cool. A bit of a cliff hanger at the end, but I am sure Age is not dead ….. well I hope he isn’t.
I’m disappointed the fact that Karukinus actually died when he “is” the fastest Nodos who can regenerate/heal himself in battle.
I guess it was a 1 hit K.O so no chance for him to regen but I was surprised that he died so early…
