Cypher:
My thoughts on what happened to Kiroumaru's army:
(click to show/hide)Remember the episode that had the balloon dog appear at its end? I remember the group saying something along the lines of killing queerats from a distance looked kind of like killing humans, which is why it kind of affected their escort. My guess is the "fiend" did it the same way against Kiroumaru's army.
Show had a very nice story, felt like they could add a bit more but I think that's asking for too much. Hope they fix the animation problems if there is a BD release.

I thought it was pretty clear in the episode:
(click to show/hide)The Giant Hornet soldiers were disarmed by Cantus. Once disarmed they were slaughtered by Squealer's Robber Fly army.
1:15 Ep.18: None of the GH soldiers had ANY weapons. Except they found spent arrows.
7:00 But none of the arrows were damaged, they were stopped mid-flight by Cantus.
So the GH started out with weapons, fired some of them, then ALL their weapons were removed. It's possible that Cantus was used to do other non-killing things, like freeze them or push them down or something, to make the slaughter even easier.
But Redhead couldn't have killed the GH soldiers herself, she would have died.

Mcgreag:
(click to show/hide)You are still not adequately explaining the "severely mutilated, to the point where they were reduced to lumps of flesh" quote. I don't believe in that they mutilated them after death, that makes no sense, there are no reason for it.
The weapons are a side track only used to explain why they could not have used Weapons of Mass Destruction to kill the army. Remember we are talking about an army of almost 100.000 troops here, a couple of blow fish is not going to be enough even if they could get out of the water and fly to the army.

And no the argument that she first disarmed them and then they blow the bomb does not work. There is nothing to indicate that they actually had access to that kind of weaponry, if they did why didn't they use that against the humans?

5Cats:
@Mcgareg:
(click to show/hide)Yes, even disarmed the Giant Hornet troops would have killed a few Robber Flys, but they didn't. But Redhead couldn't kill another Queer-rat, or she'd die herself! There's nothing to prevent her from mutilating the bodies AFTER they're dead to TRY to cover up the use of Cantus, since it was important the Humans not suspect what was coming. They did use Blowfish against the humans, with devastating effect.
First battle: NO Robber Flys because the humans were watching. Second battle: a secret, surprise attack where Cantus is used to disarm and somehow immobilize Giant Hornet's army.

Tatsujin:
What the fuck, I'm lost in episode 4. I kept up to the end of our Calendar (this era) .. then .. Dark Ages? Golden Ages? ... What the hell is this thing talking about? what the fuck ..
