Summary:

Luke and Tear travel to Daath and meets up with Anise, where they ask if she could arrange a meeting for them and Fon Master Ion. Surprisingly, Jade and Guy are also there and all of them have things to report to Ion. Luke and Tear report that Planet Storm’s activity has been increasing while Jade and Guy report how Dist broke out of prison and saved Mohs that was transporting him. In addition Jade tells how the Malkuth troops that were in training were attacked by an unidentified army who seemed to have a “dead” look in their eyes. The group then decides to go speak with King Inogbert, although Anise suddenly decides to leave them which makes Jade suspicious. When the group gets outside they meet up with Natalia who came to complain about how Malkuth’s forces attacked Kimlasca. The group explains everything to Natalia, and Tear suddenly faints because of the miasma in her body. Not long, Anise comes into the run and drags Ion out saying that there is miasma everywhere and when the group decides to pursue them, they are nowhere to be found. Arietta later explains that Anise took Ion to the Sephiroth to read the Seventh Fonstone. The group finds Anise and Mohs together and learns that Anise has been working for him since the beginning as well as her parents are taken as hostage. Mohs escapes through a passageway and only Arietta manages to get inside, the group then encounters a group of replicas who resemble those who used to be close to them. Luke later finds out that when Anise threw away her doll, there was a letter telling them where to go and when they get to Mount Zaleho they find Ion reading the score. The group attacks Mohs’ troops and defeats them. Anise’s parents are saved and Mohs runs away. Meanwhile, Ion is done reading the score which has depleted all of his energy, making him lose his life. Ion also manages to take the miasma out of Tear’s body and later dies. Ion’s last words told Anise that he cherished her the most. At Daath, Anise explains to Luke how Mohs saved her parents when they were in great debt therefore she had no choice but to obey him.

Review:

I haven’t watched this series in a long time, and this episode was quite refreshing. Since my memory has faded away, it took me quite a while to remember the plot as well as the character’s names. Anyways, this episode seemed to indicate that the peaceful lives are over and a new danger has occurred. This seems to be quite weird, as most rpgs (since this anime was based on it) usually only have one major arc (maybe I played to less rpgs). At first the unidentified army seemed to me like some zombies resurrected from the dead but I was surprised to find out that they were actually replicas. I’m looking forward to the last seven episodes of this series, and I’m hoping that none of the other major characters will pass away like Ion.
