Night Wizard episode 4

We begin with a preface covering the ancient Chinese myth of Chang’E. She was a woman who drank a potion of eternal life and now resides on the moon waiting for her husband. Back to the story at hand, the Night Wizards are enjoying a tea break at Anzelotte’s palace before being informed of their next mission. The next jewel to recover is on the moon, otherwise known as the Oriental Basin, and they are whisked away to their mission by a shuttle-type Artifact.

The group enjoys the view of the earth briefly before everyone decides to hit the books to do homework and study. Coincidentally, Eris is busy reciting the Legend of Chang’E as Akari helps her with a selection of the passage. As they continue their studies, Renji spots a pair of bunny ears outside the windows. The space rabbit and all his buddies begins to pound on the shuttle, and the group decides to abandon ship before its inevitable destruction.

They make it to the moon safely with each member separated from everyone else. Eris relies on her jewel sense and begins her trek unaware that she is being followed. She is ambushed and cornered by a group of the killer rabbits, when she is saved by a mysterious, powerful wizard wearing her school’s uniform. He badmouths Renji in front of her, and Eris stands up for her friends by defending their honor. He apologizes and leaves. Eris tries to stop him but her jewel sense goes off again. Moments later Akari, riding on her gunner’s broom, rejoins her and they resume the mission together.

Meanwhile, Renji saves Kureha from a group of the killer rabbits just in the nick of time. She leaves the dirty work to Renji and scampers off to the shuttle wreckage to find her own jet broom. She picks up Renji and they ride off to find Eris. Akari and Eris touch down in a ruin where the jewel’s location seems to be. The red moon appears overhead and Eris is quite surprised. Akari explains to her that the red moon is a separate entity from the real moon and that it only portends to the appearance of Emulators.

Chang’E appears and introduces herself to the two girls. Akari fires a couple rounds from her gunner’s broom but it is futile as Chang’E easily blocks and deflects the attacks. Chang’E incapacitates Eris and creates a giant monster bearing her likeness with the Jewel of Bravery’s power. Renji and Kureha regroup with Akari in the sky as they spot the giant monster. Akari informs them that Eris is inside the monster with Chang’E, who is preparing Eris as a sacrifice for Shaimaal. Renji formulates a plan and orders Akari and Kureha to weaken one spot with concentrated firepower while he cuts his way in. He falls through and begins his battle with Chang’E. Renji is overpowered by Chang’E’s sword until Eris awakens and reclaims the Jewel of Bravery into her bracelet. Renji activates his sword’s Demonic Release and makes quick work of the weakened Chang’E. The group’s happy reunion after the battle is interrupted by the mysterious wizard from earlier. He essentially disses the entire group and earns their ire. Eris suddenly thanks him for saving her life earlier. He dismisses the act and introduces himself as Kirihito before leaving again.

Yes the show is still generic but I think it’s a fun watch. Enter Kirihito: The cool, calm, collected, and icy character type. Eris also seems to have a thing for him too. Anzelotte is a potty mouth. I don’t really have much else to say about this episode because the summary really speaks for itself.
