Episode 02: Until the Sun Rises on the Moon
Posted by: Anonymous Club Officer in Gankutsuou, SummariesAlbert gets captured by the girl with the gun; it turns out that she works
with a group of bandits. Franz becomes super worried about his friend, and ends up reminiscing back to when they met. It was at his father’s funeral, and Albert had helped him get past his mourning.
Later, Franz finds out from a messenger, (the same guy that Albert had saved at the execution), that they won’t release their prisoner unless they get lots of money. In an interesting turn of events the Count, himself, offers to pay the large sum and accompanies Franz to the thieves’ den. An all out brawl ensues. The Count takes a dagger to the heart and painlessly pulls it out, calmly stating that he can’t be killed. Eventually Albert is saved. And amusingly, the count tells him that Peppo, the thief who Albert was about to sleep with, is actually a man. Whatever gender, the pretty-looking person put up quite a fight for Albert as he was being tortured by one of the other thieves.
Personally, I hope that Peppo is a girl, just because I (Chris) find her attractive… if she turns out to be a he, I may have to deal with several awkward issues.
