Episode 18 continued on with the events of infant Emilia in Echidna’s dream world. Emilia herself broke into tears on witnessing her tragic life story and how her aunt sacrificed everything for her sake.
It ended with little Emilia going near the seal where Pandora was waiting for her. Does that mean Pandora has finally got the seal and the key? We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 19 Preview and Speculations
I. Emilia Confronts Pandora
In the preview, infant Emilia confronts Pandora, who was waiting for her near the seal. She gently talks with her, giving her space to think, as if she is offering Emilia an opportunity to save her aunt.
A little later, we see Emilia crying, and she is holding a key, which suggests that she is the key or has the key to the seal.
But why does she have the key? Is she special in some way? Why can no one else use the key? The next episode will answer all our questions.
II. Arrival of Fortuna and Geuse
Fortuna and Geuse arrive to save Emilia. Fortuna looks furious this time, and she attacks Pandora from a point-blank range. However, we know handling attacks of that calibre is no big deal for Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory.
This scene assures us that Fortuna and Geuse aren’t dead yet. However, Geuse’s eyes are red from bleeding due to his incompatibility with the Sloth witch factor.
III. Memories of Ryuzu Mayor
Then we come back to the outside of the tomb, where Ryuzu Shima is talking about the memories of Ryuzu Mayor. Episode 19 will show us the flashbacks from Ryuzu Mayor’s life, that will explain to us the history of the Sanctuary and how it actually collapsed.
We will also get to know how Ryuzu Mayor ended up being trapped in that crystal and what happened to Beatrice after the Sanctuary collapsed. Moreover, we still don’t know how Roswaal got involved in all this. This episode will be crucial one as it will uncover the mysteries of the Sanctuary.

3. Episode 18 Recap
Elior forest is under attack by Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory, and Regulus Corneas, the Sin Archbishop of Greed. Fortuna attacks Pandori with her crystal magic, but nothing can scratch her with Regulus standing as her shield.
With no other option left, Geuse takes out a black box that has an insignia carved over it. He adopts the sloth witch factor and stands before them as a formidable foe. Fortune takes this opportunity to escape with Emilia.
Thus, the episode confirms that Geuse is actually the Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti, whom we hated throughout the first season. His incompatibility towards this immense power affects his mental state, and that’s how he turned into an insane antagonist.
Geuse fights bravely, but his power is still inferior to that of Regulus. Impressed by his resolve to fight, Pandora gives him the title of Sloth.
Meanwhile, Emila and Fortuna escape to a place away from the battle. We get to see a heart-warming scene between Emilia and Fortuna, who she sees as a mother. Not only just the viewers but Emilia herself breaks into tears seeing their last goodbye.
Fortuna goes back to help Geuse. But surprisingly, Pandora and Regulus start fighting against each other. At first, it seems that Regulus has killed Pandora, but she reappears out of nowhere and sends him back to his mansion with her magic.
On the other side of the Eilor forest, Archi tries to take Emilia far away from the seal. But unfortunately, he gets caught up in a sudden attack from the Black Serpent. He asks Emilia to run as far as she could before the venom kills him.
