Tear Jerker / Gabriel DropOut

Go To

  • The second OVA noticeably shifts away from the usual comedic beats of the series when the girls meet a blind girl who they start doting on to the point she makes Gabriel — of all characters — pick up a soda can because of her influence. Their reaction to the girl getting involved in a car accident and being on the brink of death is simply heartbreaking. Satanichia in particular is in an utter mess, angered that Raphiel couldn't do anything to help her because of rules set in place that prevent any exceptions from being made.
    • Gabriel not only heals the girl, but she also makes it to where she could see. The fact that Gabriel was knowingly breaking one of Heaven's rules speaks volumes. She doesn't care if she faces grievous punishments for her actions: as long as the girl lived, it was all worth it. This OVA goes to show that in spite of everything, at the end of the day, Gabriel is an angel and not just in name.
