Break Blade 4 - The Land of Disaster (2010) ブレイク ブレイド - 惨禍ノ地

Athen's ambush had them quickly surrounded. General True led his troop out on the battlefield, hoping to turn everything around. unfortunately, while they were trying to figure out the capability of their enemies, he was brutally sacrificed. Nike, a young girl from the enemy's side managed to kill him without hesitation, which placed her on a monstrous-level. she then waved around his corpse, spreading fear among General Bladr's troop, who were right behind General True's. Girge, a mysterious prisoner was summoned into the battlefield under the supervision of General Narvi. yet he ran away during the last minute, n it caused them to arrive late on the battlefield. Rygart on the other hand, who happened to be observing the surrounding area, saw an astounding battle at the far side of the area, involving Girge n the enemy, General Borcuse.

General True's sacrifice hit us with a shock, his boldness we assumed would opened up a path for the rest of the troop, but not to the extend of having him killed so easily by an enemy. Nike from the enemy's side, was truly disturbing. her skill put her so far out-of-reach of anyone, friends or foes. yet she can so easily transformed into an innocent little girl in front of their leader, General Borcuse, desperately seeking his affection. the combination amused us as well as having us feeling disgusted. Girge, on the other hand, continued to held our attention, which its biggest question being where his loyalties laid. at this rate, the remaining 2 movies will definitely bring forth more surprises!
