Moments after Adeu is assaulted with a glowing ball of doom!....it turns out to be
HaguHagu. ^^; Phosphorescent HaguHagu, at that.
...Basically, I just liked that it looked like Sarutobi was about to chop him in half. ^^; ...I don't really have anything against the ball of fluff...but the prospect of his painful demise still has some charm. Paffy looks extra cute, holding him like this. A moment of silliness from episode 9. |

Poor ol' Katze.. ^^;; She gets herself in so much trouble, and she's
absolutely appaled that someone expects her to get herself back out
of it. (Episode 16; a fun, Katzeful episode. ^^ )
The good guys were such dicks in this episode. ^^;; I can't say that Katze didn't deserve it, but it's such...unheroic behaviour. On the other hand, they aren't a very typical group of heroes. Katze's gaping mouth is on a separate layer -- underneath she has a closed mouth. It's also interesting to note that there's a mistake on the cel -- though hard to appreciate on this thumbnail, her forefinger was panted green, like her cloak. ^^;; (The mistake was not corrected, and appears as such in the episode.) |

Ah, poor Katze. ^^;; Once again, she's in trouble with our heroes.
Most of the time, she deserves it; even so, I can't help but find
her a sympathetic character.
She's not really a bad person...she's just damned greedy. She comes around in the end, though. In this case, she didn't even do anything wrong, but...everyone just assumes she would. Lots of angry pose-striking on the part of the boys.. ^^;; Too bad we can't see more of Sarutobi, hidden behind Katze and Hittel as he is.. (Episode 34.) |

Bakuretsumaru, Hayatemaru, Shinebraum, and Baurus all take a bit of
a beating, thanks to Gulden, in episode 26, and then they all get blasted
off to goodness-knows where, shortly after. Not a great day for these guys.
6 layers to this cel; four are End cels. The top two are just those fwishy reddish effects (which make Bakuretsumaru and even Hayatemaru rather hard to see. The pink-shackle effects are all painted and airbrushed on top of the Ryuu-containing layers. |

From episode 32, an episode from which I seem to get a lot of cels.. ^^; Well,
it's a very Sarutobiful episode..
Sarutobi's not about to sit around in hiding -- he's a man of action, he is. Or, rather, an underaged ninja of action. Whatever. Missing the non-moving cel layers for Adeu and Gratches which should also appear in this scene. |
![]() | Sarutobi's ninja sensei (whose name I can never, ever remember) watches as Gratches heads off to follow Sarutobi into an impossible battle. He must be impressed with the kind of friends Sarutobi's managed to find. ^^ (Even if Sarutobi spends three quarters of the time not acknowledging that they're his friends..) |

Adeu gets some mighty ninja healin'! (Not to be confused with sexual healing. Please.)
This is such a cute episode, full of good character building moments. Even injured and half-delirious, Adeu's ready to follow Sarutobi into battle. Aww.. |
![]() | Still from episode 32, a random ninja arrives to herald the arrival of the rest of the goodguy cast, who'd been left behind for quite a while. ^^; Luckily, this means the arrival of Izumi, who can heal poor Adeu up good. (In a scene which can be found on page one of the backgrounded cels. ^.~ ) |

Awww...Cute little Zephyr makes the world go BOOM. (It's almost as good
as making the world go FWOOSH!) Very neat shot -- I like the way the background was painted to give that "action emphasis" effect around Zephyr. There's also a surprising amount of detail for such a small shot. Honestly, this looks like a cel that would be pretty easy to pick out.. In fact, I had several ideas as to where it might come in, but all of them turned out to be incorrect. ^^; As such, until I decide to sit down and watch the series all the way through again, I'm afraid I shall remain clueless as to where this seemingly obvious cel belongs. |

Great shot of Ryuu Paladin Lord Zephyr in all his...uh...chibi-robot glory!
Hoohah! Very keen action shot, anyway. ^_^ Love the pretty sunset colours in the background. |
