Don’t you just love Gunslinger? He’s one of the more hardcore guys on the AX Team, and I wouldn’t want to be on his hit list. He and the rest of the guys team up to destroy the Silent Noise created by Arch Bishop Alfonso, and a member of Rosenkreuz. 

That’s right, Alfonso was putting on this huge act, talking about how he’s not sore that people didn’t vote for him to be Pope. Now we know what a big liar he is, but there’s no reason to be bitter. Just feel sorry for the stupid people who voted for a kid to rule Rome and the Vatican, and go on about your business.

Well, the Arch Bishop will do just that, after Rome is destroyed by the Silent Noise, but the AX Team will have something to say about that. Oh, did you know that Caterina was put under house arrest? All that drama because she wanted to check the bell that her psycho Uncle bought as a gift?

Francesco will try to use this incident to change the balance of power, and to disband the AX Team. Yeah right, good luck. But we have a lot of good news, first of all, Hughe returns from his stint back in episode 6, and Abel Nightroad decides not to resign when he finds out that Isaac from Rosenkreuz is trying to kill Caterina.

Oh yeah, didn’t I tell you that Isaac is back? Remember when he destroyed Barcelona in episode 8? You know, I  really like this guy. Yeah, I know he’s a murderer, but he’s so cool and laid back, the perfect criminal. I mean, this guy doesn’t get upset over anything, even when he’s being slammed around by Nightroad in their brief fight.

But don’t underestimate Isaac, who has some wicked attacks of his own. Yeah, he slapped Abel around a bit, let me just put it this way, it was a good fight. In fact, Abel took a huge hit, that he had to turn his crusnik power up to 80%. I don’t know about you, but I’m hiding under the table like Caterina.

Meanwhile, The AX Team are trying to stop the Arch Bishop but he calls upon a huge jellyfish demon to stop them in their tracks. Hey, I didn’t worry for one second, with Leon, Tres, and Hughe on the case. I just love those guys!

Jellyfish demon is destroyed, Bishop Alfonso has been detained, and Abel let Issac get away. Good, ’cause I definitely want to see him again, and not because I think he’s hot, he’s just a bad ass. Only thing is Abel is hurt. What? SOMEBODY CALL THE NEAREST CRUSNIK HOSPITAL AWAY!  Oh no, what are we gonna do without Nightroad? No! No! Nooooooooooooo…………wait, who’s this?

Wow, what a hunk, who is this guy? He looks a little like Hughe, but I don’t think it is. What’s this guy’s name? Wait, wasn’t somebody hurt that I should be concerned about? Who was it?

At this time, Abel Nightroad is still grieving over Noelle’s death. What in the hell for? She was nothing but a poser nun who snuck out one night, and got a boob job so she could hit on all the guys, and that’s why she died.

But check this out, they haven’t found her body yet. What? All they have to do is search for the silicone, and that will lead them directly to her. Must I do everything myself?

The Arch Bishop Alfonso shows up, and apologizes for being away for so long. See, he lost the Pope election to his nephew (who’s just a boy I might add), but he’s not bitter anymore. And to prove it, he donates a bell, and an obelisk to the Vatican.

Awwwww. Wasn’t that nice of him? Only thing is, it’s the only bell in Rome that hasn’t been checked for use as a white noise weapon, but we’ll get back to that in a bit. Next scene, Abel quits the AX. Wow, I can’t believe all this over that dumb broad. But I wonder if this means he’ll be available to date now?

Now all the other AX guys realize that the Vatican bell might contain the white noise, so they are en route to stop the Arch Bishop from ringing it. Leon tries to get through first, and…………..wait a minute, “Leon, I know you’re cute and everything, but you really should have a shirt on under those priestly robes. Where in the hell do you think you are, at a photo shoot?”

Francesco is totally pissed off now, and completely offended that anyone would think that his uncle is conspiring with terrorists. Caterina comes in to assure him that they’re only inspecting the bell, and not making accusations.

So while the two of them go back and forth with words, Alfonso rings the bell……………and nothing happens, Rome is still standing. Uh oh, somebody is about to get in trouble! All I have to say, is that I’m glad I stayed out of that one.

Now this episode starts out good, but gets kind of weird later on, you’ll see what I’m talking about, just keep reading. In the meantime, lets catch up with Mariko who’s got the hottest shinigamis watching over her to protect her from Muraki.

Only thing is, she still thinks they are trying to kill her. “LOOK YOU DUMB CHICK! You’ve got 4 bishies giving you all this…….Wait, did I say 4, I meant 3. Hisoka is just cute, he’s not really a bishie. Anyway where was I? Oh yeah, “You’ve got 3 bishies giving you all this attention, enjoy it dammit!”

“And while you’re at it, get a couple of phone numbers ok?” Next scene, Tsuzuki is teaching a history class, but he’s talking a little too much, and starts leaking information about his immortal status. Hisoka slams him in the head with a book in order to shut him up, and the class loves it…………………..

I admit that was kind of hilarious. Okay, let’s move on to the weirder stuff. Muraki has in his possession a head. Yes, a human head, look I knew this dude was psycho, but wait ’till I tell you the whole story. Through a flashback we find out that Muraki has a half brother named Saki.

Apparently, they didn’t get along and Saki killed the parents, and tried to kill Muraki, until somebody kills him first. Somehow, Muraki got a hold of the head, and plans to transplant it to Tsuzuki’s body, so that he can kill Saki over and over. Huh? Does that any sense to you, ’cause I’m clueless.

But then again, we are talking about Muraki, who’s a complete psychopath, and he continues to prove it by killing Dr. Satori after he gets his help in kidnapping Mariko. Wait, how does Mariko get kidnapped with 4 shinigamis watching over her? Muraki is also able to play mind games with Tsuzuki, as he tries to find out if he was ever human.

How in the hell can he be human if he’s a shinigami? Wait, isn’t Ichigo from Bleach a shinigami? Oh no, I forgot, he’s a poser shinigami, but he’s human so I guess it’s possible. Only thing is, Tsuzuki can’t die, and hasn’t died in a long time. Okay, I understand this, but with only one episode left, who really cares?

So Tsuzuki and Hisoka are at a bar, and Tsuzuki is getting drunk as a skunk. What a fool, can’t he see that Muraki is just messing with his head? Anyway, Tsuzuki is on the verge of having a nervous breakdown, boy what a sap!

After this huge dramatic scene, Mariko is found laying in a gutter somewhere, and is taken to the hospital. Tsuzuki stays in her room as a bodyguard, but Muraki is able to cast some kind of a spell on Mariko to turn her into a centipede. Yuk! I hate those things!

Tsuzuki gets slapped around, ’cause he won’t attack her, but the phoenix (One of Tsuzuki’s spiritual posse) comes out, and destroys Mariko. This devastates him, and he passes out. You know, Tsuzuki is lucky that I’m not his boss, ’cause I’d fire his ass right about now!

And how many people have died around Tsuzuki when he’s supposed to be protecting them? Anyway, Muraki carries him off for this great experiment. Will he succeed?
