Hey, why stop the streak? Time for more Cream Lemon!
Y’know, this was actually my favorite Cream Lemon episode for the longest time. I still really love the world they made, even if it’s on par with B-OVAs.
We begin with Princess Yuria being tortured to give up the location of the Sword of Ryvus, but she doesn’t know where it is. Not that it matters to our big bad villain Ramorue.
According to legend, the sword will appear along with a legendary warrior when the four moons align. I know what you’re thinking. Yes, it’s ridiculous, and yes, HOLY FUCK, WHY ARE THERE FOUR MOONS.
Meanwhile, it’s time to be introduced to our heroine and obvious legendary warrior, Karen.
In the span of a couple of minutes she’s suddenly caught in a dogfight and falls to her supposed doom, only to wake up unharmed and in new clothes.
She meets Felulu, a giant dragon that turns into a tiny runt that claims to be the legendary warrior, but had a curse placed on him before he could save the princess.
It surprises no one when it’s revealed that Karen is the legendary warrior literally three minutes later… making that claim completely pointless.
Felulu tells Karen about the crimes Ramorue is committing… as if she really needs the extra motivation…
They promptly get attacked (again!) by Ramorue’s forces, but then get saved by a warrior named Raike. He tells Karen and Felulu to board his hovercraft and fly to Ramorue’s flying fortress.
While this is all going on, Ramorue is busy raping a lot little girls… by turning into an amorphous blob in the floor and sticking stuff wherever he can. He receives reports about the warrior girl and his response is usually something like “Do your best! Now to taste this girl’s flesh…”
Karen arrives and finds the princess, but it’s a trap! Ramorue proceeds to tear part of her armor off and grope the hell out of her. But Felulu flies in and gives Karen the sword.
Karen and Ramorue duel, and Ramorue gains the upper hand once he shatters the Sword of Ryvus. At least, that is until the the biggest bullshit ever.
It turns out the Princess was just a stand-in so no one would know the identity of the REAL Princess, as the Princess of Rall is the only one with the blood to wield the power bestowed by the aligning moons. One guess who the real Princess is.
Yeah, it’s Karen. And then the moons align and reveal the true Sword of Ryvus.
The true Sword of Ryvus makes short work of Ramorue, slicing him up and making him spontaneously combust, I guess.
And so, peace is restored to the kingdom of Rall.
The biggest flaw of this episode is that it’s only 23 minutes long when it could easily be a 45 minute B-OVA. But hey, it does what it needs to in the time frame it’s given.
One thing I’m still confused about is just how young the girls are supposed to be. It isn’t clear if they’re all really young or if they’re just drawn chibi. I mean, it hasn’t stopped me either way, but I’m curious.
