Rouge arrives at the Junghardt mansion with Ash and Noid just as her brother Gene discovered a secret passage. They discover a vast repository of Roy’s memories, most of which come off as cold and analytical where both Gene and especially Rouge are concerned. She wonders if he only ever thought of her as some kind of experiment or test subject.
Gene, who spent more time with Roy as his adopted son, can’t say for sure, only that Roy was “a complicated man.” But the memories also include those of one Eva Kristella, who was the genius behind Code Eve, an protocol that would free Neans from the Asimov Code that made them subservient. The Immortal Nine are part of Code Eve, as is Rouge. She has to choose whether to free all Neans now and risk the chaos and harm that is likely to follow, or try to maintain order until the time is right.
Their little confab outside the house is interrupted not by Naomi’s Ochrona soldiers, who stand by in the trees, but Cyan, the self-proclaimed little sister of Rouge. She immediately deforms into a blue version of Rouge’s battle mode and attacks Rouge, but Rouge won’t deform and doesn’t want to fight. Honestly Cyan is pretty one-note, interested only in fighting and killing Rouge. The question is, why?
When Gene’s assistant reports that Aletheia HQ is under attack by Jill and an army of bots, he picks Gene, Rouge, Ash and Noid up in a copter to take them there. Deciding she’s not going to allow Jill to slaughter humans and make things worse for humans and Neans, she leaps out of the copter and into a fight against Jill, who is keen on destroying anyone who stands in her way of punishing humans and needs Rouge’s id to execute Code Eve.
In the resulting melee, Noid is mortally wounded, and his last words are that he always felt human when he was with Ash, and urging him to take better care of himself. Distraught by his partner’s sudden demise, Ash pulls a gun on the humans who killed Noid and basically tells them to fuck off. No detective wants to outlive their young assistant.
When Eden “Who Are you?” Varock, AKA Jet Black Noir, shows up, Jill assumes he’s on her side, but he blows up all of her bots and sides with Rouge instead. Aes also shows up with their ice attacks, presumably on Rouge’s side, while Cyan lurks overhead like a bird of prey ready to strike when the time is right. I’d advise Rouge to look up now and then to avoid an untimely death.
While I remain frustrated that we’ve been deprived of the best thing about the show—i.e. the relationship between Rouge and Naomi—and that Naomi herself has had shockingly little to do but sit around observing, I decided to follow the advice of my Anime News Network counterpart and simply go with the flow and not think about stuff too much.
As a result, I was able to enjoy this episode more on its own terms rather than my preconceived notions. It’s really never been all that clear where Metallic Rouge is heading, or what exactly Naomi’s endgame might be. But the fact Rouge has chosen to protect humans as well as Neans probably bodes well for their ending up back on the same side eventually, assuming they both survive the remaining robot battles to come.
