Queen's Blade.
Two heroines, guided by fate...
...have cast aside their former friendship...
...in order to resolve themselves to compete for the one and only position of Queen.
Not even the gods can predict the outcome of this battle.
Another cup!
Hey! Are you listening?
Another cup!
Yes! Right away!
Nanael-sama,
don't you think you've had a bit too much to drink?
Huh?
If you drink so much milk...
...your stomach will burst.
The precious divine milk that the Head Angel entrusted me with was stolen by that flabby pink!
I can't return to heaven like this!
Just let me drink!
Hey! Where's my refill?
Sorry for the wait!
N-Nanael-sama...
I-I-I-I'm sorry...
I'll kill you!
I'm sorry!

Episode 10
Cherished Desire! Reason for Fighting
A monster?
Yes.
A monster with horns on its head appeared near the center of the forest.
Oh, how dreadful!
A monster with horns on its head...
Hey... couldn't that be flabby pink?
It must be her.
That settles it!
The Vance province has readied its army.
Oh, Onee-sama? You're awake?
I was having a dream.
Inside the ancient Vance castle...
...you were braiding Reina's hair.
And I was drinking tea with Father.
That's what I saw.
Say, Onee-sama...
Can't we continue living here after Queen's Blade ends?
The three of us, together...
Return to the Vance family, Elina.
Eh?
I cannot return there anymore...
...nor do I have the intention to.
Neither does Reina, most likely...
No, absolutely not!
Who cares about the Vance family?
I want to be by Onee-chan's side.
There is no one else but you...
Won't you stand next to our father in my stead?
That would benefit Reina more than anything else.
Elina.
I wish for you to also become an adult, gradually...
I know that!
I know, but...
Hey, hey, hey! Flabby pink! Show yourself!
Nanael-sama.
Please be careful.
If you come any closer...
I fear I may cut you down.
Eh? You're...
Tomoe-san?
Which means the rumors about the monster were regarding Tomoe-san.
However...
You are training with considerable zeal.
This is way more than zeal...
This isn't normal!
Isn't this pretty bad for Reina?
The chosen one for this occasion is...
The Vagrant Warrior...
Reina!
Elina?
Onee-chan, you look so surprised!
O-Of course I do!
I don't know when I'll be called for the next battle, after all!
It's alright!
I know you'll win, Onee-chan.
How is Claudette doing?
She's completely fine. She's already lively again.
Is that so? Thank goodness...
H-Hey! What are you doing?
Hey, Onee-chan, haven't you lost some weight?
That tickles... let go!
Look, you used to be a lot softer here...
Hey! Sto-
Elina! Cut it out already!
Just leave, already. I'm trying to concentrate on my next battle.
Alright, I understand.
You can call me anytime if you're longing for me, alright?
I won't long for you!
See you!
Let's go.
Is this alright with you, Elina-sama?
Don't say such tedious things. We're moving out!
Ah, understood!
We are now returning to castle Vance with Elina-sama!
Goodbye, Onee-chan.
Thank you, Elina.
The chosen one for this occasion is: Vagrant Warrior, Reina!
Just kidding! Did I surprise you?
Of course you did! I don't know when I'll be called-
I know, I know.
Don't say any more.
I thought I'd tell you something nice today, alright?
Something nice?
Whatever, just come with me!
I said I don't want to!
Why not?
Isn't it obvious?!
Trying to catch Tomoe off guard with a surprise attack... just what kind of an idea is that?
I'm just looking out for you!
You see... I really want my beloved Reina-chan to win!
You're definitely lying!
I'm not lying!
If Reina doesn't win, things won't look good for me.
Letting the divine milk get stolen was bad enough...
Anyway, Tomoe's been sitting there all this time with her eyes closed.
She should be exhausted by now; it'll be an easy win if you get her in her sleep!
That isn't the problem here!
Reina, don't you want to win?
I want to win!
Well, aren't I giving you a way to do that?
No!
I'm saying that I don't want to use such cowardly methods to win.
Come!
I don't want to!
C-Come on!
No!
What are they doing? They sure are noisy.
Hmm... So is it tastier than the strawberry flavored one?
You don't drink divine milk!
Don't confuse it with goat milk, okay?
So it really was that important?
That's right.
That divine milk has the effect of taking away the strength of heaven's residents.
And Merona was revived when she was splashed with it...
Merona's still alive?
The problem is...
Flabby pink said that the Queen stood up, frightened, when she saw the divine milk.
According to my sharp reasoning, she's probably...
Being possessed by someone from heaven, right?
Don't spoil the answer to our long-awaited riddle!
Anyone would have known that.
Even so...
Why do I have to catch Tomoe off guard with a surprise attack?
Like I said, because I want you to win, Reina-chan...
Enough already...
Besides, Tomoe isn't an opponent that you can defeat with a surprise attack!
No, no, no... if you sneak up from behind, you can get her!
She's all alone, after all.
Eh?
She's alone?
Anyway, I'll show you I can win without using such a cowardly trick!
Of course! I'd be in trouble if you didn't win properly!
I must prepare for my business rivalry!
You'll definitely... you'll definitely win, right?
Oh, Rana, where are you going?
Um... I have to pee.
That's the wrong way, then.
Oh yeah...
The chosen one for this occasion is:
Vagrant Warrior, Reina.
There it is!
When you have prepared yourself, pass through the gate.
This is...
Hinomoto?
This is my birthplace.
A place where many friends and sisters are resting in peace...
And...
My sole purpose for fighting.
Tomoe...
That's...
...the horned monster.
Forward!
What amazing spirit...
Ahem...
Come, come, everyone! Don't miss this opportunity!
Right now, we're on the verge of a snow white Queen's Blade battle!
Here we have the Hinomoto Warrior Shrine Maiden, Tomoe.
Why is her hair snow white!?
There are horns on her forehead, too!
Opposing her is: Vagrant Warrior Reina!
Come now, everyone!
Direct your attention to the sword in which the Vagrant Warrior, Reina, holds!
Its name is the Blade of Ewindel!
This is Tomoe's true strength...
Warrior Kick!
Reina...
Onee-chan...
As I thought, it seems that the Warrior Shrine Maiden, Tomoe, is completely dominant.
Of course.
An abundance of departed souls lie there.
Yes...
The ghosts which are starting to awaken...
...are entwining themselves with Tomoe's arms and legs.
Encompassing her entire body.
And her soul is completely empty.
Tomoe herself is not even aware of the weight of her suffering.
So this suffering...
This pain in her heart...
...gives birth to an unprecedented strength?
That's right.
It would be impossible for Tomoe to be defeated as she is now.
She can't even get a solid hit in.
I knew it was impossible without a surprise attack.
Yes! My Blade of Ewindel!
What strong craftsmanship!
What a reliable sword to have in such a battle!
Nonsense.
Take a look at this sword, a custom made Steel Mountain blade!
Oh, it's a dwarven sword.
Doesn't it look pretty cool?
I've got a good feeling.
She's manipulating the wind!
This wind...
...is the hope of my fallen sisters...
...as well as Shizuka-san's strong feelings, whom I murdered with these hands.
Eh? Murdered?
Tomoe...
...murdered Shizuka?!
That can't be!
Even at the end of her life, Shizuka-san...
...was instructing me.
In your coming battles, fight as fiercely as you did now.
Shizuka-san!
Don't cry.
Yes...
This is the only thing I have left for you to remember me by.
I made a vow to Shizuka-san...
That I would become a demon...
That I would not let any doubt or compassion hinder me in my battles...
That I would cast aside my timid heart...
...and merely cut down the enemies in front of me.
Warrior Shrine Maiden technique!
Helmet Slice!
Dragon Tail!
Ah! My Blade of Ewindel!
The specially made, dwarven Blade of Ewindel!
Hey, will Onee-chan be all right?
What incredible splendor!
What incredible durability!
It looks like Reina is losing!
Hey!
What is it? You're really annoying.
But...
Is this for real?
The one with the dwarven sword collapsed!
I wonder if it's about time for my Blade of Ewindel to make a comeback?
Is this really the end?
It is, it is! Warrior Shrine Maiden Tomoe's going to end it!
I wonder when she's going to get serious?
Soon... soon...
Get it together! What the hell are you doing?
The true power of your sword is something much greater than that!
Reina!
I can't afford to lose, either.
That radiance... don't tell me...
It seems that it is, somehow.
It can't be...
Siren Warrior Kick!
Tomoe.
No matter what memories you hold...
Rotating Kick!
No matter how great your burden...
No matter who has called you to fight...
Moonlit Sword Decapitation!
I...
I will accept it all!
Absurdity!
Battle begets only victory or defeat, and only death awaits the defeated!
Warrior Shrine Maiden Paper Charm Technique!
Living Spirit...
...Whirlwind Chain!
I will even accept your wishes!
Thank you.
I was so happy...
...that I could fight seriously with you, Tomoe.
Thank you.
Reina-san.
Through people like you, I have finally come to understand these feelings.
I'm sure you'll forgive me...
Shizuka-san.
Really, that Reina... That was so close, I could barely watch!
Hey, I'll take one!
That dwarven sword turned everything around!
You saw it, didn't you? The might of the Blade of Ewindel!
Come now, everyone!
The Blade of Ewindel that the very Vagrant Warrior, Reina, was wielding!
If you purchase it now, you'll get it at an amazingly low price! What a great treasure!
Give me one!
Me, too!
But this material is different from Reina's...
Don't push, don't push!
You did it, Reina!
You really are something special...
Reina.
Isn't it great that Reina won?
I'm really happy!
What? You need to pee again?
That's all you do, seriously.
Eh? I haven't gone yet today.
How could that be?!
Didn't you just go a little while ago?
But I've been sleeping the whole time.
He sure says some strange things.
Following that idiot angel was the right choice.
Aldra, I think I understand what you are.
The next time you let your guard down...
This is...
You regained consciousness?
Queen Aldra?
We finally meet...
Champion of Hinomoto...
Warrior Shrine Maiden, Tomoe.
To be continued...
Setra? Setra?
That's strange...
He probably left me to chase after girls again...
I'm always doing my best to revive my great kingdom!
Come now, bow down before the great Kingdom of Amara!
Oh, Swamp Witch.
What 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.
Girls, let's all do our jobs properly.

Next Episode
Your caution and composure really yielded some great results!
But even with your overwhelming talent, you're nothing compared to Nanael-san!
And that hopeless rat, Reina, still has two opponents left to face.
Well, it's alright, I guess.
Even with her incompetence, she did manage to beat an angel, so she might be the horse to bet on!
If Reina becomes Queen, maybe I'll make her into my puppet, or something.
Ah, geez! I can't stop these wild ideas!
Next time: Bloody Battle! Focal Showdown!
Episode 11
Bloody Battle! Focal Showdown
The opponent is the gorilla of darkness, Listy!
Power overwhelming.
