Еп. 23: Леопард завершує бій мечем, тоді як Акіха стикається зі своїм горем і ворогами.

23

With Leopard connected to the Proxima Crown that Benkei found, the Shishido elders volunteer to search for the sword. Nerval instructs Xanthippe to destroy Leopard and Aleida to kidnap Akiha, while Takane is told to protect Akiha. Akiha is still in mourning for Imo-chan, and runs away when Itsuki tries to comfort her. She goes to Leopard's core to talk to him, but Leopard's inconsiderate words only make Akiha mad, just as Xanthippe appears. Aleida successfully breaks into Leopard, but Takane prevents her from kidnapping Akiha. Itsuki then rescues Akiha from box people, but they are attacked by the Existence. Bou and Min come across Honoka and Fon in space and bring them to Leopard, where Fon causes QT-roses to grow on Proxima Crown, disabling the Existence and freeing the box people. Finally, Sakura and the Shishido elders return with Leopard's Sword, which finally completes him. Both Honoka and Itsuki swear to protect Akiha, and Akiha makes her decision, activating the Sword with the golden gun and allowing Leopard to use it to disable Xanthippe. At the end of the episode, Imo-chan is revealed to be still alive... but with Nerval. (Source: Wikipedia)
