Episode 3

## Episode Guide

**Agitation** (煽動, *Sendō*?) is the third episode of the Ragna Crimson anime adaptation.

## Synopsis

Crimson is no hero. He will manipulate and use others if it furthers his goal, and that callousness is precisely what makes him a needed ally against dragons.

## Summary

Disaster Thrower enjoys killing women with his wind. Ragna joins some dragon hunters in their fight against dragons.

Earlier, after Crimson accepts to work with Ragna, he asks him about the future, however Ragna memories are vague and explains that he only remembered Crimson after seeing his face. Crimson then wonders about his powers, but Ragna explains that his Silverine Battle Arts are in his body, so he doesn't have a problem using them.

After Ragna slays the dragons, Crimson notes that he is interested in seeing the dragon hunters use Ragna's powers. Crimson then speaks to the dragon hunters, introducing Ragna as Ragna the Reaper, who had slain many superior dragons and himself as his mage partner. As mages are rare and most people have only heard of magic, Crimson knows he can easily trick the humans and states that Slime is a pet created by magic. One of the dragon hunters, Michael, asks Ragna and Crimson for help. He explains they ran from a dragon surrounded by a tornado in Tortiere. Crimson realizes it's the Third Seat, The Tempest Cell, Disaster Thrower. Ragna wants to go after it, but Crimson stops him. Ragna then falls to the ground, unable to move and Crimson explains that his body isn't able to keep up with his power and it may take him three days to recover.

Crimson tells the dragon hunters that Ragna won't be able to fight, and he refuses to take on the dragon himself. The dragon hunters are ready to sell their equipment to pay him, however Crimson doesn't want them to stop being dragon hunter and refuses again. Crimson wonders why are they that concerned about the dragon and want to kill it. Knowing the dragon, Crimson states that its fast with long range attacks, so they must have acted quickly. However, they are likely feeling guilty as while running, they must have heard people asking for help, but soon they got caught in the tornado, where they got cut to shreds. Michael confirms that what Crimson said is true, and states that they were weak and had realized they are just prey. If they were strong like Crimson or Ragna, they would have fought. Crimson then hands Michael Ragna's sword, stating that with it, he would be able to kill dragons, although he still may get killed.

Returning to Tortiere, Crimson takes the dragon hunters to his armory, where he gives them modern guns. Crimson then asks Ragna to create silver bullets for the weapons. Ragna asks Crimson to not call him Reaper and that he doesn't wish the dragon hunters to stay around him as they could die. Crimson reminds him that he said he is fine if people he doesn't care die, which is why he abandoned Leonica. As Leonica is Ragna's main driving point, Crimson states that her safety is also his priority now. Ragna explains that he knows it's probably the best if she remains by his side and chasing her away doesn't mean she will be safe, however the thought of her dying is breaking his heart. Crimson then tells Ragna that he can kidnap Leonica and put her in one of his storage spaces, where they can put her to sleep and that way, she will remain safe until they deal with the dragons. Ragna doesn't like that and attempts to punch Crimson.

Crimson tells Ragna that he will deal with the dragon. He also tells Ragna that he keeps saying he is cursed, but that's not really the case. Crimson then takes a gun and blows his head. Another Crimson then appears to the dead Crimson body, noting that this is a curse. Slime reports to Crimson that there is a big tornado in Tortiere and that there are 16 women floating around it. Crimson realizes that Disaster Thrower has been ordered to stand by in the town and is killing time by playing with the humans. Crimson wants the women to survive as long as possible, since that way Disaster Thrower won't be coming at them. However, he can't tell Ragna or the dragon hunters that there are still some survivors. Crimson then devises a plan to defeat Disaster Thrower.

Waiting until its almost dawn, Crimson leads the dragon hunters near Disaster Thrower. Using a speaker, Crimson hen provokes Disaster Thrower, calling him a vile dragon, that he is cringy for talking to the wind and that he is pathetic for being ordered to stand by his nutty ruler. That annoys Disaster Thrower, who states that a human can't comprehend how great he is. He is ready to ignore what Crimson said, however he can't ignore that he insulted their bloodline and ruler.
