Queen's Blade.
The defeated are left with disgrace and frustration...
...while new trials await the victors.
Whether they advance or turn back, these warriors will face hell.
These chains of heartless battles awaken the madness within them.

Episode 9
Innermost Feelings! Duel at Vance Castle
My Count...
Please hurry and escape from the city.
I wish to see what the Queen is planning here.
Send out the army, as planned.
Yes.
General Claudette.
It is time to show your strength to Aldra.
Onee-chan, big trouble!
Onee-chan!
Onee-chan.
Wake up, already!
I'm coming in.
Who?!
It's me!
Geez!
Elina, where are you touching me?
Well, you wouldn't wake up.
Anyway, they sure are soft.
They're so bouncy, just like pudding!
Ah, I want to eat them already!
Geez!
What are you doing? Stop it!
Wait, Elina!
That's right! There's big trouble.
That person's stance remains unchanged.
Come!
Vance castle...
Why?
I know, right?
Thunder Shock!
Ah! The water fountain that Onee-chan has so many precious memories of is...
That monkey! If anything else happens, I'll kill her!
Both of them are amazing.
This person...
Her vigor...
...strength...
...and her fearless, machinelike attacks...
She didn't fight like this before.
However, no matter who you are, I will not lose!
Thunderclap Strike!
Splendid.
I knew Onee-sama was strong!
Thank goodness. Now your place of memories won't be destroyed anymore, right?
Right, Onee-chan?
What a splendid performance.
Allowing the opponent to come close is a magnificent way to fight.
I am honored.
I wonder what they're talking about.
Yeah...
We will now move towards subjugating the Queen.
You will join our forces...
...General Claudette.
Are you prepared?
Please wait, Count.
If I may have a word...
Subjugating the Queen after all this time is nothing more than an arbitrary decision.
Do you think...
Do you think the people will obtain happiness this way?
Count...
...please withdraw the army.
From this moment onwards, I will continue to win the Queen's Blade battles.
I will become Queen.
And when I hold that title, I will rule everything-
You fool.
There is no meaning to you becoming Queen.
The problem lies with Queen's Blade itself...
If we don't overthrow the Queen, this continent will have no future.
Maria-sama...
It seems to me...
...that you won't let go of the grief and hatred of being robbed of Maria-sama.
How dare you speak to me like that!
You still do not realize it!?
Your stubbornness is what drove Maria-sama to Queen's Blade!
What do you know about Maria?!
Just before Maria-sama began her journey...
...I was able to talk to her once, when I was young.
Ah, you are...
It's all right.
Come here, Claudette.
We aren't related by blood, but you are a daughter of the Vance family.
This may burden you with hardships from now on,
but I am leaving your father and his daughters in your care.
Maria-sama...
If I do not return...
If I do not return from Queen's Blade...
...please help him overcome his suffering.
Suffering?
Yes, from the 120 years of Vance's suffering.
Henceforth, I will devote myself to serving the Vance family, as well as the Count.
Protecting the family honor according to Maria-sama's words...
...in order to offer you relief from your suffering.
However, I've finally realized it through Queen's Blade.
Maria-sama's wish, what she was longing for...
Vance's glory is their curse, and the cause of your suffering.
Maria-sama was attempting to become Queen to relieve you from this!
Then I ask...
Will you kill Queen Aldra in Queen's Blade?
Answer me!
If you fail to kill the Queen, our army will also fail in their mission.
That is enough!
I need not invest any more time in this.
Never show yourself in front of me again!
Count!
She's aiming for the Count?!
Thunderclap Strike!
Count, hurry outside the castle!
Thunderclap Strike!
It's about time to bring this to an end.
Count, are you hurt?
Claudette...
Victor: Leader of the Kiba, Listy.
No way...
Onee-sama...
Father...
Claudette.
Claudette!
Count, I'm glad you're unharmed.
Thanks to your help.
Forgive me for questioning your loyalty.
We'll get you out immediately.
I was able to save you...
Have I made you proud?
Clo...
I...
I just wanted set you free from the Vance family's curse.
That's all.
Like Maria-sama wanted...
Claudette.
My daughter!
Father.
So Vance still lives?
However, I have achieved my objective.
It would be careless to chase them any further.
In the end, humans are weak creatures. That's all there is to it.
You can't help but laugh at them.
Onee-sama...
...actually lost.
Onee-sama!
We have to treat her quickly!
Onee-sama.
What a relief. I wouldn't know what to do if you were gone...
Reina.
Yes.
Listy is...
...not the opponent you know anymore.
She'll certainly be aiming for your life.
Directly, and without hesitation.
You must deal with her carefully. Understand?
This way, this way!
Yes! Right away!
Hey, did you hear that rumor?
Oh, you're talking about the monster that appeared? The one with horns on its head?
Yeah, that one! Isn't that strange?
A monster with horns on its head?
How long are you gonna make me wait? Hey!
R-Right away!
Ouch!
Stupid wench!
What are you spilling?! What a waste!
I'm sorry!
Ahh! What a nice fragrance!
I'm happy to hear that. I bought various pleasant teas for you to try.
Please try it, Merona-san.
Ah, yes.
This is delicious.
I'm glad.
Say, why do I have to have tea with her?
She is your friend after all, Nanael-sama.
There's no way an angel would be friends with a monster!
You should say something about this, too!
Don't be like that. Isn't it fine?
Let's leave that aside.
Speaking of which, what did you come here for?
Eh?
Oh, there's something about the Queen that piqued my interest.
Eh!? You're saying that Aldra isn't human!?
Would an ordinary human's eye shine and turn the object of their gaze into stone?
That may be impossible.
That's absolutely impossible!
Cattleya, who lost her fight...
Menace and Setra...
It seems that Nyx's staff, Funikura, was turned to stone, as well.
But the strange thing is...
It seems that she was planning to turn Airi to stone after she had won.
Oh, I thought for sure that that maid was just talking nonsense at the time...
You were almost killed, too.
Eh? Really?
That must have been because the Queen was so frightened by my greatness,
she couldn't mess with me!
That must have been the archangel's great authority.
But say...
That big-breasted merchant woman was human.
So she shouldn't have been turned to stone after losing.
Regarding that, I have no clue.
It seems that Cattleya's husband was turned to stone quite some time ago.
Really?
Come to think of it, did the Head Angel say something like that before...?
"Queen Aldra is completely different from the queens who preceded her."
"Even now, I cannot determine whether she is a human or a demon."
Well, even the Head Angel couldn't tell, so of course we'd be having trouble.
So she's of the demon family, after all?
Well, I don't know about that...
A demon wouldn't have been so afraid of something like that.
Without it, I wouldn't have been able to come back.
That's where the problem lies.
You say she's afraid of divine milk...
Could it be...
What? Do you know something?
Eh?
I won't tell a demon like you!
Well then, thanks for treating me.
Damn it.... what was that about? Just what did she want?
Melpha! Another cup!
Right away!
It seems like that idiot angel knows something, after all.
It's gone, gone, gone, gone!
It isn't here either! It's completely vanished!
That soft and flabby pink bitch! She was after the divine milk from the start?
I'll be done for at this rate!
She was called Merona, wasn't she?
That subordinate of the Swamp Witch.
Ah, the monster who escaped from here.
She will probably come here...
...to rescue her partner.
We'll deal with her again.
That's why you don't have to worry.
I'll protect your future for all eternity.
My beloved Aldra.
To be continued...
I wonder what I should do today to excite you and turn you on...
I'm having fun already just by thinking about it.
I'll show you all that I'm the luckiest one in the end.
Come on everyone, let's fight until we're all melted.
Oh, Swamp Witch.
An eerie existence.
Well, we're all girls of the underworld.
Majestic orders.
Oh, Swamp Witch.
Such erotic actions.
We'll truly show our love for you.
Yes.
The three of us will all serve you.
Really?
But of course.
Guys, let's all do our jobs properly.
Merona is oh so cute.

Next Episode
Hello, hello! It's Nanael-san!
I've returned to my rightful place!
Things have calmed down. Without flabby pink around, it sure is peaceful, isn't it?
Oh! I was too relaxed and fell asleep!
Before I knew it, she had stolen my precious bottle of divine milk!
It seems that I was completely deceived by flabby pink!
If this goes on, I'll receive a horrible punishment from the Head Angel!
That's how it is!
Next time: Cherished Desire! Reason for Fighting.
Episode 10
Cherished Desire! Reason for Fighting
The heated battles of Queen's Blade are heavily weighted by a great cause.
It's time for a tactical retreat!
