Episode 51: Revenge? Maxine
If you need to watch the episode, check out this post (community locked) for information!
We begin on a dark and eerie night at Covenant Castle.
Two hired goons soldiers are patrolling, but definitely not too well because they definitely missed that shadowy dude back there who’s clearly up to no good. >.>
And this joke will probably fly over some heads, but nonetheless: *gasp!* “Whose footprints are these?” XD*
*From Metal Gear Solid ^_^
The next morning, Wolfram and Greta are enjoying Doria’s cooking.
Mom Conrart comes up and advises Greta not to eat so fast. Then he comments on the unusual concoction Doria has made. Lasagna responds that Doria is from a village on the border, so her food is more like what humans eat.
Doria appears from behind a tree, and Conrart asks what she was doing. Apparently, there’s an animal scavenging around at night and taking food, so Doria’s solution is to leave it some! Brilliant! Besides, it eats every crumb - how flattering! <3
Nevertheless, Conrart vows to get to the bottom of things. (Protective!Conrart is love in all forms!)
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Jennifer is on a picture taking rampage! The all-too-willing participant is none other than Pink apron!Muraken! ^_^
Baseball!Yuuri is disturbed.
Jennifer says that they’re cooking together, and laments that Yuuri is far too stubborn to wear the gorgeous pink apron she got for him. The ungrateful louse!
She and “Ken-chan” strike some poses and go an about the joys of team cooking. ^_^
Yuuri is more disturbed.
Jennifer goes on about her curry and how it’s famous for big veggie chunks. Yuuri is skeptical of her hiding sloppy cutting. But Jennifer reminds him that cooking = love! World peace begins at the dinner table, Yu-chan! &hearts
Yuuri goes to take a bath before the negotiations begin. ~_^
Back in Shin Makoku, Sangria is scolding Dakascos. For what, he knows not. But who wouldn’t trust that face??
Gunter runs to the rescue, with Wolfram, Conrart and Greta in tow. Apparently it’s to be flogging by committee for you, Daka-chan!
Shock! The box of Maou dumplings is empty! Oh noes!
Gunter tells them to stop squabbling, but when he hears that they were Maou Manjuu that went missing he goes all DOOM on Daka-chan.
The conversation turns to a list of missing things, including Gwendal’s liquor (?!?!? This must be implemented as a plot device immediately!)
Conrart doubts that an animal is behind this villainous act.
Doria’s curry that was left in the garden floats away!
Oh, it’s just Maxine, master of String-fuu.
He shares (with himself?) that he wandered for a time after failing to get the box because he couldn’t return to his country, and finds himself here wanting to take revenge, and now the King isn’t even here! Bother.
He is, however, thoroughly enjoying Doria’s cooking. It tastes…familiar?
While Yuuri sulks in the bath, Jennifer and Muraken go on and on about the beauty of their curry.
Murata barges in and says that they want to eat soon. Yuuri is a little weirded out that Murata is so friendly with his mom.
Murata goes all Shiny Glasses and thinks Yuuri is cute for being jealous. ^_^
Yuuri is defending his manhood totally no pun intended. Totally! >.> when he feels a familiar pull… Murata climbs in for the ride.
Jennifer thinks it adorable that the boys are roughhousing together in the bath. Jennifer, you’re my hero!
Doria and company are examining the empty plate they left when word comes that Yuuri and Murata are back!
Maxine is delighted that Yuuri is back and he sneaks closer to make his move!
Suspicious!Conrart.
But wait! First, Maxine must indulge in more of Doria’s lovely cooking. Stomach before revenge!
Yuuri has a desk full of paperwork to welcome him home. He really really really really wishes Gwendal would take care of it while he is away, but Gwendal says it’s for his own good.
Yuuri goes back to his signing, and Conrart is suspicious again.
Later, Yuuri is taking a whining break with Wolfram and Greta.
Conrart wants them to go inside. His Psychotic Revenge Against the Maou Sense is Tingling!
Ominous laughter sounds throughout the peaceful courtyard. Ooh, scary! Maxine makes his dastardly appearance!
After a moment putting 2 and 2 together, Yuuri would recognize that Ponytail-Shaved head anywhere!
Maxine’s String-fuu catches Conrart’s sword and Yuuri’s arm. Dun dun DUN!
Maxine reels Yuuri in.
Freaking great eyecatch:
Maxine, Master of Bondage, has tied Yuuri up and in running off with him!
But Conrart thinks Yuuri’s too vanilla for all that, so he climbs to the roof to save his fair prince!
Wolfram runs to his Daddy Brother and Gunter and tattles on Bad-Boy Maxine.
Some Kohi fly around uselessly. And then get bound up uselessly. Too bad, I love those guys!
The army’s on the roof now, but Maxine trampolines up to Level 2 of his String Tightrope and slides (??) away.
Conrart runs toward Maxine on the thread, but a snap of Maxine’s fingers and Conrart is falling!
Luckily the roof breaks his fall. Although, sadly, it’s the tallest tower in history. So he falls again, managing to tuck ‘n’ roll out of a twelve story drop. Conrart’s super power is invincibility, I swear.
Maxine drops Yuuri on his face God, that POSE! and stands triumphantly over him.
But wait, Celi is there! And what does she have up her sleeve?
Maxine recognizes her from her Gorgeous Heroine of Justice getup, and he calls her the “Makeup Monster”. O-kay. But then he gets instantly pwned again by Lady Celi!
Team Yuuri comes running, and Maxine scampers off into the brush.
Yuuri stands and runs after him, bondage and all. Everyone dashes off in hot pursuit. Celi too, after a moment’s consideration that she might be left out.
The maids become the newest bondage victims!
Maxine tries to negotiate with Team Yuuri, with his newfound hostages on the line.
Yuuri wants to trade himself for the girls, but Gunter and Conrart and Murata, who appears out of nowhere, as he does, tell him to stop being so hasty.
The Stoplight Girls (c’mon, look at their hair!) try to talk Maxine out of being stupid be talking of Yuuri’s sweetness and such. He’s not buying it.
Yuuri offers Maxine everything he can think of, but Murata tells him that what he wants it to regain power for Small Cimarron by dragging Yuuri off as a prize.
Maxine plays cat’s cradle as Team Yuuri debates.
Gwendal as, meanwhile, made himself useful and is prepared to bust the door down and S.W.A.T. Maxine’s Ponytailed hide.
Yuuri disapproves.
The Stoplight Girls again try with Maxine to get him to see reason, but he protests, in a rather dramatic series of poses, that he has lost everything and needs to regain his honor.
Maxine threatens them with his yarn. There’s gratitude for you! Hmph.
Outside, Team Yuuri debates the options, but looks to Yuuri for the answer. He freezes up a bit, poor kid.
Maxine threatens the girls more. But then he smells Doria’s cooking and goes over to investigate.
Next scene, and the girls are happily serving Maxine as he wolfs down stew.
Maxine is surprised to hear that Doria is from the border of human lands, and remembers where he knows the taste from. When the girls try to ask him, he clams up and tells Doria to chop her veggies smaller. Ah, tie-ins to the beginning of the show, we’d be lost without you!
Doria asks if he wouldn’t rather eat his mother’s cooking, and Maxine is shocked for a moment.
Next scene, and the maids exit unharmed.
Maxine is, apparently, gone. World peace begins at the dinner table, indeed!
Later, as the maids are being debriefed, Gwendal scolds them for not telling where he went, but they say that they don’t think he was a bad person.
Yuuri is shocked that his mother was right!
But he’s okay with it. ^_^
We then see Maxine with a vase full of take-out, courtesy of Doria.
Yuuri and Murata are helping themselves to some, as well. Yuuri mentions that he wishes he had eaten his mother’s curry before he left. &hearts
And there we have it!
I don’t have a whole lot of thoughts on this episode since it was pretty cracky, but it was nice to see the maids take a more prominent role for a change. And it’s always good to see Maxine, that Ponytailed cracky man. ^_^
Stomach over vengeance is a great philosophy. &hearts
(Also: Yuuri gets kidnapped more than any King ever. And it’s how own fault for making such a cute damsel in distress!)
