Which Way Is the Wind Blowing? is the twenty-second episode of Shingeki no Bahamut Virgin Soul.

Synopsis

Jeanne rounds up an army of demons, humans, and angels to declare war on the king. As she leads the army to battle, Kaiser, together with Dias, tell Jeanne the truth regarding Mugaro's death. Despite their plea to stop her, she concludes that even though the king had no involvement in her son's death, he still targeted Mugaro and continues to move on. While Jeanne and her army attack Anatae, Nina and Favaro manage to track down Charioce and the ancient device to confront him. When Nina fights Charioce and holds him down to cut off his wrist to remove the bracelet, she is unable to do so. Favaro aims his weapon towards Charioce to demand the truth. It is revealed that all the things that he had done was in preparation to resurrect Bahamut and slay him, even at the cost of his own life. As the device explodes, Nina and Favaro escape and look on as Bahamut awakens.

Trivia

• The episode's title is derived from Barossa Leone's signature quote.
• The Head scientist reveals Charioce XVII's secret plan to annihilate Bahamut to avenge his mother.
• Favaro claims Charioce did not order the death of El nor Nina, even though he was shown doing so multiple times for El and once for Nina.
  • Fans speculate this statement was the writer and producers's intention to make fans more sympathetic towards Charioce, a character they consider "pure-hearted".
