Episode 12:

The Grand Finale! Hope for Tomorrow!

With Klara going berserk over Leyla's sudden death, the Flower Division has to stop her rampage and join forces with the other Combat Revues to stop Kaminski's plans to become a god.


This episode provides examples of:

  • All Up to You: The Flower Division and Hakushu cover for Sakura so that she can snap Klara out of her berserk state.
  • Back for the Finale: Kamiyama once again returns to help the heroes stop Kaminski. They're also joined by the Shanghai, London and Berlin Combat Revues.
  • Bittersweet Ending: The Moscow Combat Revue is no more and Kaminski is dead. Klara becomes a permanent member of the Imperial Combat Revue. However, Hakushu has to go her separate ways after spending years as Sakura's sword master and Leyla has survived. Worst of all, the threat of the Archdemon is still out there and nothing is stopping the demons from trying to resurrect it.
  • Book Ends: In the first episode, the Flower Division performs "A Star is Born!" as part of their musical performance. At the end of this episode, the division performs the song again, this time with Klara as its latest recruit.
  • The Cavalry: The Shanghai, London and Berlin Combat Revues once again join forces with the Imperial Combat Revue to stop Kaminski's plans to become a god.
  • Cooldown Hug: Sakura gets Klara out of her berserk state by giving her a hug.
  • Finale Credits: The ending credits for this episode features Klara performing "Star Tanjo!" on stage with her fellow Flower Division comrades.
  • Hope Spot: Kaminski gets knocked down by Klara and Hakushu and the Flower Division have him at their mercy. Unfortunately for them, he has one last trick up his sleeve.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In the final battle, Sakura stabs Kaminski in the stomach with the Amamiya Kunisada to end his threat for good.
  • Karmic Death: Kaminski is ultimately killed by the power he sought to use, and is further done in with the same method he used to kill Layla.
  • One-Winged Angel: Kaminski absorbs the crystal's power from the Sevastapol and turns into a more powerful version of himself with the crystals embedded in his body.
  • We Will Meet Again: At the very end of the episode, Hakushu transforms into her angel form and leaves the theater, vowing to meet Sakura again.
