    Yeah, I'm also sure her explanation of her past had lots of truth in it. But whether she exaggerated or otherwise adjusted it a little is another question. She seems far too civilized, wise, and intelligent for somebody who spent years alone in a locked room.

    Her Italian friend Lee was quite a bit more clever about it. While she certainly wasn't able to get her revenge all at once like Julie did, she did it much more frugally. Learn Arabic, pretend to be from North Africa or whatever. If not for a bored little princess, she would have gotten away quite easily. I wonder how well Julie would have fared, though without Kujo and Victorica there, she likely would have shot the others without hesitation.

But quite a few of her observations have been physical evidence based, not psychological, so I guess it clicks.

    She never goes to class, and spends the majority of her time "locked" in the library Conservatory with a half dozen books splayed out in front of her. Presuming she's been there and not in her dungeon the last year or two, she could have caught up on the rest quite fast. We also don't know how long she was locked up, it could have only been a short time (perhaps something like between her mother's passing and being tossed into the academy?). She certainly doesn't exhibit the short pacing behavior. Her imprisonment certainly explains why she feels she needs to have everything when she goes outside.

    Yeah, she rolls around like she's got all the space in the world. :3

    Episode 3 was fantastic. While most of Victorica's deductions were easy yet again I was surprised with the whole World War reference they did.

    The mysteries were too easy this time. Of course the new femme fatale, with her book, is still left, so let's hope she will present something more interesting.

    Victorica getting all cranky was a good watch, though.

    Kujo, take your urge to breed elsewhere!

    Ah, too bad that line was only in last week's preview. I was looking forward to more of that.

    I hope we'll get to see some interconnected arcs later with a big bad boss (or a loli, I don't mind) with intellect that is on par with Victorique. Not only does that make things interesting, but it allows Kujo to be Victorique's winning hand.

    A minor correction. :3

    My guess is that Avril hurt her hand trying to remove the wire that severed the motorcyclist's head. It's a somewhat wild guess, but she wouldn't want to admit it because she failed.

    What a way to die... being locked up in the crypt for 8 years! I can't even imagine.

    I'm really close to starting to hate Kujo. The worst part of him is that he's not consistently a lousy coward but rather every now and then he shows some guts. Consequently I tend to forget he's a loser, only to be painfully reminded later. At least Victorica is consistently cute.

    This case didn't turn out particularly interesting.

    Caught up even though i'm following UTW's releases

    This is moe done right, Victorica is adorable but that only takes a backseat role to the plot and the depth in her character. Unlike Kraco I also find Kujo to be a most adequate sidekick, some bravery and idiocy to counter Victorica's calculating personality.

    I think the disparity in your opinions of Kujo is because Kraco sees him as a main character, while Arch only a sidekick.

    It's news to me that UTW's doing this show.

    I see Kujo as the main character as much as Watson is the main character in Sherlock Holmes. It's probably more correct to say narrator then, but I'm used to dear Watson needing stuff explained to him and all that I really don't mind Kujo one bit.

    I loved Victorique's hideout - lamp, books, sweets.. i think i spotted a cushion?

    But really, why didn't she hide from Kujo?

    Maybe she thought it was just a squirrel?

    Being fed by the wellspring of wisdom, she knew Kujo was a lonely and mostly harmless guy plagued by a fairy tale rumour just like she's herself. A perfect candidate to alleviate her deadly boredom. Of course now afterwards that she may have some feelings for him, she might be too embarrassed to say much of anything of the reasons.

    She already knew of his nickname and that he was a loner just like her, she probably saw him as a kindred spirit

    I'm not. I tried to watch a sub from a group called "Durzegon", but it was no good. Their editor was probably drunk. I got Victorique's release instead. The only annoying thing about it is the way they write Kujo (I can't even replicate it not knowing where to get that line above "o").

    Anyway, quite an important episode. It should be safe now to believe Victorica did indeed tell the truth of her past. And now we learned the missing details - of the official story, at least. Still pretty cruel to keep her locked up for all her life but on the other hand it couldn't have been easy for a noble to learn he had married a murderer...

    Lots of cute moments in this ep as well. The hat suited Victorica so well that it makes me think the magician knew it would end up to her.
