Some images not safe for work.
Mmm mmm good.
Melona would make a good stand-up comedian because she can do impressions of anyone.
Last episode we found that ghosts can get stomach aches. This episode we discover that ghost can get drunk as well.
Summary:
The Swamp Witch has given Airi and Melona three days to retrieve Menace. Airi and Melona journey through the desert and find that Menace has created a vibrant city along the river. Supposedly Menace made a lot money by partnering up with a figurine maker to make a popular line of figures featuring Queen's Blade competitors. In the city, Airi and Melona bump into Yummil who is unsuccessful in selling her weapons. Yummil leads Airi and Melona to the boats that lead to Menace's palace before informing the two that she's returning to Gainos to learn fighting skills from Claudette. Airi and Melona take the boat to Menace's palace and finds that Menace is living the high life with many beautiful girls as her servants. To Airi and Melona's surprise, the servants aren't under any spell and appear to be serving Menace willingly. Airi tries to get down to business and demands that Menace accompany them back to the swamp, but Melona decides she wants to try out a queen's life and sides with Menace.
Blame yourself for getting hung over and not getting the massage table, Airi.
Airi has outstayed her welcome.
Giant Bitch SLAP!!!
Without Melona's support, Airi's efforts are frustrated as she stands by while Menace and Melona enjoy the high life. Airi then gets talked into a wine drinking contest with the other two girls and ends up with a bad hangover which further stifles her efforts. After recovering from her hangover on the third day, Airi convinces Melona to rejoin her side by threatening to report Melona's behaviour to the Swamp Witch. When Menace refuses to budge, Airi and Melona decide to use force, but Menace uses her powerful magic to smack her former companions around. The battle gets out of hand and Menace's palace is destroyed, but Menace's servants are still around and willing to help Menace rebuild the palace. Airi and Melona then discover that Menace's subjects are all masochists who love being abused by Menace, and the two decide to head back home without Menace.
This is what can happen when parties get out of hand.
Abusing slaves come easily especially when the slaves want to be abused.
Yes, the whole episode was just a big commercial to get you to buy QB figures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought the three stooges would be reunited after how Airi ditched Rana to rejoin the forces of evil last episode, but apparently not as Menace has too much a good time selling figures and living the high life with tons of people willing to take her abuse. Menace is also powerful enough to fend off both Airi and Melona, and so the two of them couldn't drag her kicking and screaming back to the swamp. Anyways, there wasn't much to talk about in terms of the story this episode, but I guess that's to be expected from Queen's Blade. Episode 1 and 2 of the OVA were focused on the relationships between characters, but the last two episode have been pretty random. I still don't get why Airi is suddenly oh so loyal to the Swamp Witch, and how Menace rebuilt her kingdom was both lacking and funny at the same time. The whole figure thing is probably some excuse they came up with so that the anime can help promote Queen's Blade figure sales.
On to the positives, the fight near the end between Menace and her two former companions wasn't too bad, and Menace shows that she is more than capable of holding her own against both Airi and Melona. Menace did give Claudette a good run for her money during the tournament and Claudette is one of the most powerful characters, so Menace is definitely no slouch. Of course, any Queen's Blade episode wouldn't be complete without the nakedness, and there was plenty of that yet again from all three evildoers plus Menace's band of sexy and curvy female servants. The scene at the beginning with Menace drinking wine from a servant's cleavage was the highlight of the fan service.
The next episode looks like it'll be about Nanael going bad, but the preview just repeatedly showed two shots. I heard that the next two episodes are delayed for a month due to production issues, so there probably won't be new episode until January of next year.
