Go To

Local graves have been desecrated and everyone thinks the Daring Dragoon is doing it. Jack and Emilia decide to investigate and it starts with Emilia's funeral.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Even Evil Has Standards: Croque voices slight reluctance towards their desecration plot, hoping that the dead would see it as a necessary evil on their part.
  • Frame-Up: It's revealed that Brogard was the one desecrating graves in order to slander the Dragoon.
  • Hidden Depths: Croque partakes in pulpy Horror fiction for recreation, something Jack and Emilia exploit to make them stop their Frame-Up ploy.
  • Instant Sedation: The moment Emilia takes her sleeping serum, she immediately conks out.
  • Mistaken for Undead: Emilia pretends to be a restless spirit in order to scare Governor Croque and Capitaine Brogard to stop their plot. By the end of the episode, she claims the Dragoon had drugged her so that she would fake the "undead" bit.
  • Pun: Jack remarks "talk about a Jack-in-the-Box" when he sneaks into Emilia's coffin.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Croque shows more interest in his book than when the Dragoon is fighting his men.
  • You Should Have Died Instead: Croque and Brogard both lament that Emilia had "died" instead of Jack to his face.
