Recap / The Vision Of Escaflowne E 14 Dangerous Wounds

Tropes in this episode:

• Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: Dryden fronts the cash for Escaflowne's very expensive repair bill.
• Bullying a Dragon: Literally. Dildnau's obsessive pursuit of Van and Hitomi finally blows up in his face and gets all his men killed.
• Internal Reveal: Allen, Millerna, and the crew of the Crusade learn of Van's Draconic heritage.
• Killed Off for Real: The Dragon Slayers.
• The Reveal: An Ispano Guymelef like Escaflowne is actually based off of Atlantean science and technology. The full nature of Escaflowne's Blood Pact and what exactly Van did back in Episode 2's also revealed.
• Tranquil Fury: Folken is pissed when he learns Dilandau's disobeyed the terms of Freid's surrender agreement (specifically Chid's request that the Crusade not be harmed or pursued while it was still in Freid airspace).
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Hitomi realizes Van's bonding with Escaflowne and his injuries are her fault because of teaching Von the dowsing technique and her refusal to do divination on Zaibach's forces.
• Villainous BSoD: Dilandau after Van slaughters his Dragon Slayers.
• The Worf Effect: The Dragon Slayers are all killed to demonstrate the power and danger of Van's new synchronicity with Escaflowne.
