Summary:
Even though Colbert objects to the idea of launching a surprise attack on Menville, he tells his students that he can handle the situation and asks them to leave things to him. Along with Saito, Colbert works quickly and assembles a set of items to use in the battle. While they’re doing this, he asks about everyone using technology equally in Saito’s world and says that he’d like to see that world. Then, as the two are returning to the waiting girls, Colbert asks Saito to take him to his world when he goes back. Inside the dining hall, Menville is telling Agnès about how he wanted to know how strong his captain was, so he attacked him all those years ago. Unfortunately for Menville, his captain blocked his magic and returned fire. In any case, Menville now demands that Osman send a message to Henrietta asking her to withdraw her troops from Albion. When Osman refuses because he doesn’t have the authority to do that, Menville threatens to reduce the students to ashes. Julio, however, calls this a stupid way of doing things, but before Menville can strike him down, a bunch of balls float into the room. These balls suddenly explode in bright flashes of light, blinding everyone so that Tabitha, Kirche, Louise, Saito, and Colbert can take care of Menville’s men and free the hostages.
Unfortunately, they find out too late that Menville was unaffected because his one eye had been burnt back then. Menville is about to blast Kirche with his magic when Colbert suddenly steps in and counters the attack. To everyone’s shock, Menville quickly recognizes that Colbert is the captain he’s been searching for – the Flame Serpent. After taking care of one of Menville’s men, Colbert instructs Saito and Louise to free everyone and escape before he starts his battle with Menville. Agnès meanwhile watches from the sidelines as it slowly dawns on her that Colbert was the one who took everything away from her, so she charges at him with her sword. Colbert manages to sidestep her, but when she tries to attack him again, Menville lets loose a fireball directed at her. Not wanting Agnès to get hurt, Colbert pushes her out of the way and takes the hit himself. Despite being severely burned, Colbert manages to get back up, and as he does, Agnès notices that the scar on his back that matches the wound of the person who had saved her all those years ago. Colbert then fires off a couple of magic attacks at Menville, but Menville is able to shrug them both off and gathers his power for one massive fire blast. With Colbert’s strength giving out, Agnès takes initiative and rushes at Menville, stabbing him and killing him.
With this done, Agnès returns to the fallen Colbert to ask him why he saved her back then, so he explains that it was because he realized his mistake. Louise, Saito, and Kirche then come to Colbert’s aide since he’s injured, but Agnès wants them to get out of the way so that she can kill him. To the students’ surprise, Colbert feels that Agnès has the right to kill him, and he recounts how after burning down D’Angleterre, one of his men informed him that there was no trace of an epidemic. Colbert had then run back into the burning village and saved the lone surviving girl, and he got hit by a falling piece of wood in the process. He had realized that killing was a crime, even in times of war, and although he is willing to let Agnès kill him now, but he wants her to stop killing in general. Colbert falls unconscious soon after saying this, and Agnès raises her sword to stab him, but Louise suddenly realizes that Colbert has already died. Agnès brings her sword down anyway, though it hits the ground beside him. In the aftermath, Agnès brings Saito a letter from Colbert that she had found in his room. In it, Colbert wrote about his crime and how he tried to make up for it, but he realized that he wasn’t able to. That’s why he wanted Saito to promise not to get used to death, fighting, and killing. At the end of the letter, Colbert reiterated his desire to see Saito’s world and his hope that Saito would take him someday. Saito is barely able to fight back the tears after this, so Louise hugs him and cries with him.

Most of this was pretty predictable given all the hints they’ve dropped about Colbert being the Flame Serpent, but I thought the ending was actually pretty good with the way they handled Colbert dying. The one part that didn’t fit at all was placing the normal ending song right after all the sadness and tears – that would have been a great spot for a special ED or an instrumental piece or something that wasn’t so upbeat. Still, there was some pretty high animation quality this time, at least compared to previous weeks, and I generally enjoyed the episode.
With this, I assume Agnès’ story is done, and we can move on to the actual war now that they keep talking about but we don’t really get to see. I’m not sure how much they can do with only three episodes, but hopefully there’ll be at least a satisfactory ending.

Stargate?
i heard this is supposed to go for 12 or 13. there’s gonna be a huge gap then if it’s only 3 to 4 episodes left.
the season ender will be
Saito vs 30,000 a hint was kinda shown in the opening where they both had wine glasses
Anyone care to explain/TL the preview?
I smell a 3rd season :3
Can we trust the opening? The boat incident that is in the S1 opening was shown in the S2 ep 4, right? So the wine incident, well. Considering the fact that the anime deviate from the novel, they can cut short the war into 3 episode. Wouldn’t it be too rushing???
the original story would not allow to cut the war down becasue if they want to make season 3 they will need to new characters and events in the war. + Fans of the novel (at least I will…) will go bashing the studio if they actually screw the events of the end of the war.
Hey thats strange why did i read somewhere that Colbert died trying to rescue Agnes from the enemies fire arrow right after he killed Menville.
@ Orphen
@Dmo
lol wanted to give Saitoh a fighting chance but thanx for the correction its been months since i read Shushi Y’s translations of the novel
Jeez, what are the chances of them having to drag it on to a 3rd season? But this anime is getting kinda draggy… Whats the difference between a 2 seasons of 13episodes and a 1 season 26episodes though. they had to divide it all into seasons
Heh so it now comes to parodies or rip offs?

Yet somehow this reminds me of Mustang in FMA >.>

ROFL@ stargate effects…NOw i am waiting for an armored army with snake-like helmets. XD
A much better epsiode. I wonder how they are going to end this show.
was so obvious colbert was The Snake Of Flame xD!
Satisfactory ending? Hahah, can you say SEASON 3!
I guess if they follow the novel *somewhat*, season 2 will ends with either (Novel spoilers):
Case 1: 10~15 mins of Display of Courage, then a few mins of Everyone’s Debriefing. Final ~10 mins Julio tells Louise to perform the Summon Familiar charm and then ~blam~ SAITO GET!!
Case 2: 10~15 mins of DoC, then Debriefing with a broken Louise, the mention of Colbert’s resting place, and finally ends with Saito’s Morning. Which is weird if it ends this way.
Case 3: ep 11 will be Doc + Debriefing, then ep 12 will be Saito’s Morning or just summon familiar with some anime original endings.
Case 4: Completely leave out the war and only show the final battle but WITH Louise and EVERYONE on the field and WINS magically due to the lack of time. Then this will be a lame adoption to me and will not even watch future seasons of it.
can like any one put up a link to the shushi Y or what ever the site is that does the novels i wanna read =3 ///also what happened to colbert should happen to the maid girl( doesnt want to remember her name).all who says th slutly maid should die just put ___die maid___ in any ZnT form
Oh Snap? Colbert had hair?!
What happened in novel, roughly:
Colbert lured the guy onto the large field outside. The guy continue to send spells after spells to Colbert while Colber can barely dodge them. After running a distance away from the hostage Colbert shows the guy a small growing bright ball thing that looks like a tiny Sun. The guy laughes at Colbert thinking that he will still sense him even if he use that like a flash bomb, and the light only makes him more easy to make target of. Colbert with all resolve about their sins set off the little Sun to burn away all oxygen in the field in a second. The guy dies with that final laugh still attached on his face and Colbert also went down.
Momo, Anes, Loli and Boobs take him back to the door step of the hall but some of the retreating mage (Anes and co were fighting the remaining Mages at that time) send waves of ice bolts towards them all the sudden. Colbert, with what last breath of his stand in front of the students and Anes and took the bolts in full. The mages retreated and Mono tries to treat Colbert of his wounds but fails since her magic isn’t strong enough. The other Water element students patch in but still did nothing good, the wound’s just too deep.
Colbert doesn’t mind this, and Anes raise her sword. The talk is the same with anime. There’s also the letter to Saito but Saito at the time is still fighting on the plane prepared by Colbert trying to reach Albion with those doomed but brave Dragoons. Saito at the end, still doesn’t know about Colbert’s fate yet, note to himself to thank Colbert for the plane and weapons when he goes back to school after the war.
Novel version of this story arc is quite a tear jerker as you also get to see the War, get to meet the Dragoons and their bravery, plus another Void’s magic at work with awesome effects that started the real War on Albion.
And Of cause Colbert shouted “I WILL NOT ALLOW MY STUDENTS TO GET HURT!”
They could cut the war down pretty easy.
They fight battle, Saito and Louise fly in, Louise does Void Spirit Bomb attack, war over 😛
I was really hoping this second season was going to be more about void and earth technology, but sadly, it was some lame arc 🙁
correction…
Re-reading the novel, Colbert dies defending Anes when she got her sword stucked in a mage’s body and another shooting ice bolts to her at her back. Colbert took them for her.
I didn’t quite get where the part about Menville attacking Colbert. When someone told Colbert that there wasn’t any plague, it looked like there wasn’t any kind of commotion that Menville attacking Colbert. So, does that mean that Menville got burned after Colbert saved Agnes? I mean it’s kind of weird that the other people there didn’t have any reaction that their comrade was burned. Or they just didn’t show it?
I found the ED a bit unsuitable for this episode. But it was a touching episode. I think Saito and Colbert must have been quite close friends, since both share an interest in the Zero Fighter.
I laughed at young Colbert….they ripped the style off Full Metal Alchemist well close though. Young Colbert and Roy Mustang look alike, both are fire users, Ordered to kill people Colbert a town (by mistake) and Mustang Winry’s parents, wanted to kill themselves for doing it. But the difference is that Colbert died/roasted and Roy lives. Should be a third season.
i hope theres a third season.. this is a pretty good anime..
RIP Colbert sensei, you were great teacher, and true friend to Saito…
I hope, for her own sake, that Agnes will find peace of mind and doesn’t lose herself in battle and bloodshed…
btw, this adventure seems to strengthen bonds between Louise and Saito, and anyone notices Louise actually mass-casting spell without explosion?
Yeah. I was kinda surprised about Louise casting the spell.
Colbert-sensei, you sir, are the true pacifist.
REST IN PEACE.
hi guys can anyone please tell me when the next 3 episode are subbed ore they are already subbed ?
Seems like it’s Louise…sexy version that is XD
