**Rodeux’s Fierce Attack. Dying Rein. Awaken, Kyle** (*猛攻ロデュウ 瀕死のレイン 目覚めよカイル, Mōkō Rodyū Hinshi no Rein Mezame yo Kairu*) is the 115th episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on July 10, 2005.

## Overview

Rodeux and Chita suddenly appear and attack Rein for refusing to cooperate with them. Gash and Kiyomaro fight back to protect Rein to the best of their ability but find themselves at an overwhelming disadvantage facing Rodeux and Papipurio at the same time. Rein however steps in and fights Rodeux alone while Kyle helplessly watches the ongoing fight in fear. After managing to rescue Kyle, Rein emphasizes to him that although he wishes he didn’t have to scare Kyle with how frightening he looks in battle, it is necessary as he wishes to protect those he cares about.

## Plot

Gash rescues Rein just in time from Rodeux’s *Dioga Ragyuuru* while using *Rauzaruku*. Rodeux then gives Gash the choice to abandon Rein and withdraw from their battle but Gash refuses and immediately rushes towards him. Even as Gash attacks him with his reinforced strength and speed, Rodeux endures his attack before sending him down from the rocky cliff using *Ganzu Ragyuuru* before following up this attack with *Rondo Ragyuuru*. While Gash struggles to get back on his feet, Rodeux asks Chita why she didn’t use a stronger spells and Gash’s group hear that she is intentionally spacing out the usage of powerful spells. After this, Gash and Kiyomaro turn their attention to Chita and plan to attack her instead of Rodeux. Before Gash gets close to her, Rupa and Papipurio stop him using *Nyureido*. With Gash stuck in the sticky substance, they then use *Mosureido*, unleashing a fog over him that causes him to uncontrollably itch and become temporarily blinded. Rein runs in to try and help Gash before Rodeux attacks again but is stopped by Papipurio’s *Dareido*.

Following the sound of Rodeux’s *Gigano Ragyuuru*, Gash lunges towards the direction of the spell to attack Rodeux but is quickly kicked away by him. As Rein watches Gash stand back up to face Rodeux, Rein suddenly remembers a very similar moment he witnessed in the Demon World. In a flashback, Rein is seen on a vicious and uncontrollable rampage through his village until he ultimately stumbles off the edge of a cliff and falls down into a deep ravine. At the bottom of the ravine, Rein finds himself bleeding, severely injured, and hardly able to move from the pain he was in. Just as Rein had accepted his fate, Gash finds him and offers to help him. Rein reacts in rage and attempts to scare Gash off with his threatening demeanor despite his injuries. Gash however stands up to him despite this and insists that he wants to help him. In the moment he saw Gash show him what true strength was, Rein’s attitude would soon change. Back during the battle, Rein realizes that he is ultimately the one who should have been helping Kyle overcome his cowardice instead of Gash and must show him his true form in the battle.

As Rein takes over the fight against Rodeux, he becomes more frightening in appearance which scares Kyle as he watches the battle. Rodeux attacks Rein using *Gigano Ragyuuru* but Rein withstands the intensity of the spell with his body. Parts of the spell reflect back towards the rocky structure Kyle was stuck on which gives Rein the opportunity to destroy most of it and rescue Kyle from the top of it. While Rodeux is unable to see Rein within the cloud dust that the collapse of the rocky structure had created, Rein uses the opportunity to speak with Kyle. There, Rein tells Kyle that although he looks especially scary to him when he’s serious, he explains that he looks that way because he’s fighting to protect those who are important to him. After freeing Kyle from the rock he was stuck to, Rein tearfully reflects how ashamed he is to only be able to protect Kyle while frightening him even more as he’s been doing. As Rein returns to protecting Kyle from another onslaught of attacks from Rodeux, he orders Kyle to flee from the battle. While withstanding Rodeux’s attack, Rein thinks about how Kyle can become someone like Gash someday and remembers that when they first met, Kyle was the only one who was not afraid of his monstrous form and had even rescued him from being attacked by other humans.

As the battle continues, Gash manages to attack Rodeux using *Zaguruzemu*. Before they could hit him again, Gash and Kiyomaro are trapped by Papipurio’s *Amireido*. Rein tries to free them from the net-like spell but Papipurio attacks him directly using *Gigano Jyoboido*, causing him to howl in pain. Kyle witnesses this as he hides behind a rock shaking in fear. The more he watches Rein continuously endure pain in order to protect Gash and Kiyomaro, the more Kyle begins to think about what Rein had told him after freeing him. Kyle is then faced with the ultimatum to either continue to stay where he is and avoid conflict or overcome his fears in order to help his friends. Meanwhile, while Gash and Kiyomaro are still trapped in Papipurio’s net, a powerful glow begins emitting from Rodeux’s spell book, indicating that Rodeux was about ready to unleash his strongest spell onto the group. Before he could use this spell, everyone is suddenly caught off guard by another powerful light glowing in the distance. When they look over, they see that the source of this light was coming from Rein’s spell book which was being held tightly in Kyle’s hands, indicating that Kyle had finally decided for himself he is ready to save his friends.
