Hitsugi no Chaika Avenging Battle - ep07

Things begin with Toru and Akari invading the waterways of Hartgen's castle, but they are intercepted by their all teacher Shin. Which is currently their greatest threat in completing their mission. What makes things worse is on their return they learn from Chaika about the interaction between Guy and Nivia. That with this it appears that Guy is work for Hartgen and what makes things worse is that all the remaining piece are in one place. Since it is also likely that Guy has brought the other Chaika here as well. This make the major issue of not just getting the remaining piece but keeping the ones they already have.

Although this time around we get to see into a bit of Hartgen's motivation. That he is disenchanent with the world he created, that he wish for war to return so that once it does he and many others will have a purpose once again. However it appears that he is just a puppet for the twin Chaika's elder sister. Then does this mean that she is the true master mind behind everything including Guy. However this creates contradiction since Izhmash declared that Chaika never existed so was the truth hidden from him or is this one just another Chaika that is being driven by the purpose she was created for. There is also the issue of why the three of them are even working together. Since up to this point the Chaika have been rivals.

Then you have the start of the tournament which most of the other participants aren't even a real threat to the three different groups. This leads up to the fact that the real enemy is Hartgen, and it is unlikely he will care through on his side of the deal. That during this tournament Toru ends up having his reunion with the new Vivi. That he informs her of various things about his encounters with Guy and that he is most likely working with Hartgen. Although interestingly enough he doesn't tell her to most important fact which is the truth about Chaika. Then in return she informs him about how he has two Chaika by his side. It seems that things are move towards a conclusion with all these opposing groups being brought closer. The question becomes what will happen when all the remain are brought together. Then as they come closer to the end it also raises the question of when Toru will accept Fredrica offer, and what will cause this line to be crossed.
