Ep. 4

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

Heinkel holds Felt hostage to prevent Reinhard from joining the defense, exploiting his son’s obedience. At the Muse Company headquarters, the camps investigate Capella’s name and the rumored witch remains, which only Priestella’s Council of Ten can access. Garfiel returns carrying a critically wounded Mimi after they encountered two resurrected warriors: a giant with multiple arms and a female swordswoman whose unhealing wound Wilhelm recognizes. Kiritaka explains that removing the remains would destroy the city and confirms that Capella has hostages. Subaru, Crusch, Julius, Ricardo, and their allies plan to retake city hall while Al searches for Priscilla. The assault meets transformed mabeasts and Capella herself, who appears as a dragon and mocks the attackers before moving deeper into the building. Julius remains ready to face the cult while Subaru and Crusch pursue the Archbishop. Their path is blocked by Roy Alphard, another Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, revealing that Lye is not the only bearer of that Authority. Elsewhere, Emilia awakens unclothed in an unfamiliar bedroom. Regulus calmly questions her purity and treats their forced marriage as a reasonable recognition of his rights, making clear that rescue must come before his planned ceremony.
