Episode 77

**Sherie’s Noble Rondo. The Destructive Baberuga Gurabidon** (*シェリー気高き輪舞（ロンド） 炸裂バベルガ·グラビドン,Sherī Kedakaki Rondo Sakuretsu Baberuga Gurabidon*) is the 77th episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on October 10, 2004.

## Overview

Brago and Sherie arrive at the ruins to confront Zofis and eliminate any and all demons under his command that try to stop them. While Sherie and Brago pursue their target, Kiyomaro and Gash’s group make their way into the next area of the ruins where they get even closer to the room where the moon stone is being kept in.

## Plot

After all of the incoming attacks from Zofis’ army of ancient demons had been stopped in a single spell, everyone on the battlefield turns their attention to the team responsible for this. Kiyomaro’s group, as well as Zofis himself, recognize the pair as Brago and Sherie, a team who had come to the ruins with the intention of confronting Zofis. Before they do anything else, Sherie and Brago forcefully push Kiyomaro’s group away to the sidelines using *Reisu*. Sherie then draws a thin line in front of the group using her staff and warns them to stay behind the line for their own safety. With them taking over the battle now, Zofis orders his army of ancient demons to attack them all at once.

Despite the ancient demons’ advantage in numbers, Brago and Sherie are shown to have the upper hand in battle with their power and fighting experience. As the group watches the two of them effortlessly take down countless enemies, Kiyomaro specifically tells Gash Bell to pay close attention to the way they’re fighting as one day he would have to face them in order to become king. While they watch them fight, Kiyomaro and Sunbeam notice that Sherie and Brago don’t always use their strongest spells for everything. When they start seeing bookkeepers being pushed to their side behind the line that Sherie had created, they realize that they were intentionally using their weakest spells to move all of the humans to safety. When Brago and Sherie themselves move behind the line they created, Kiyomaro immediately senses a powerful spell from them incoming and warns for the group to take cover. They then witness Brago and Sherie use one of their newest spells, *Baberuga Gurabidon* which was used to crush all of the ancient demons with a powerful force of gravity. The  spell books belonging to these demons then begin to spontaneously catch on fire and the demons themselves start disappearing one by one along with their books.

After handling all of the ancient demons on their own, Sherie begins demanding answers from Zofis as to Coco’s whereabouts. Just as Kiyomaro tries to talk to Sherie, she simply tells Kiyomaro and his group to leave Zofis to her and Brago. Unexpectedly, Gash refuses this and expresses his desire to face Zofis too after all that he had done as well. Kiyomaro also shares the same interest in fighting together to defeat Zofis but Sherie remains adamant on facing Zofis and rescuing Coco on her own without anyone else's help. Eventually, Sunbeam speaks up and tries to deescalate the situation by reminding Kiyomaro and Gash that they don’t have any heart power to fight Zofis even if they wanted to and that they should focus on their original goal of getting to the moon stone and meet up with the rest of their friends like they had planned. While they leave Sherie and Brago to pursue Zofis on their own, Kiyomaro’s group start finding another way into the ruins as a result of the massive destruction left behind by Brago’s spell.

After finding another way in, the group enters a room where they see light shining down from the moon stone in the room just above them. Just before they can continue to their destination, Patie and Byonko suddenly appear to stop them from proceeding any further. With both Kiyomaro and Sunbeam out of any energy to cast spells, the group is left to endure the barrage of attacks coming from Patie. Just before she could use her strongest spell, Canchome, Folgore, and Dr. Riddles arrive just in time to stop the two of them and even take away their spell book. Not before long though, Byonko manages to take Patie’s book back and return it to Uluru for him to cast another spell to get Canchome’s group away from them.

When both groups reunite with each other, Canchome shows Kiyomaro a fragment of the moonstone that he had with him and wants to share it with everyone there. As the group uses this small fragment to recover and restore some of their energy, Gash notices that Kid wasn’t there with them. Even after Dr. Riddles tells them what had happened, he reminds them all that they need to remain focused and to make their way towards the spot in the room where moonlight is shining down. Making the most of their recovered energy, Gash and Kiyomaro use *Zakeru* to attack Patie and Byonko who were once again trying to block their way. After creating an opening, Sunbeam then casts *Gou Shudoruku* to carry everyone on Umagon’s back towards the moonlight. Just as they get close to it, they see Leila and Albert appear from behind a pillar under the moonlight. They at first believed that Leila was on their side after recalling all that she had done to help them when they had first met her. The episode then ends however by showing Leila unexpectedly attacking the group directly with a spell and Kiyomaro wondering why she would end up doing this.

## Censorship & Other Localization Differences

* Details such as blood from injuries are cleaned up from characters in the VIZ localization but other things such as scratches and clothing tears are usually left alone. All bleeding seen on Kiyomaro and Gash would be cleaned up in the VIZ localization
* Scenes that showed Patie’s underwear were edited to have a crudely drawn pair of shorts on her.
