#STRIKE WITCHES EPISODES MOVIE#

By playing both of Perrine’s traits this episode, viewers are reminded of how far Perrine has come since the earliest episodes, and how despite the trouble Yoshika’s caused her previously, Perrine’s come to deeply appreciate everyone, including Yoshika, who is able to help in the Human-Neuroi War. Furthermore, Perrine still retains her pride, as seen when she challenges the gardeners and declares she’ll out-do any Witch that had previously made the blue tulips bloom. This is evident in her speech, which has a more formal tone than that of other characters. However, this gradual set of change has not impacted Perrine’s overall personality: hailing from nobility, Perrine is disciplined, well-mannered and conducts herself with grace. Road to Berlin shows precisely how far Perrine’s come since those early days she is concerned for Yoshika’s well-being, respects her choices and also openly trusts her (as demonstrated when she asks Minna to allow Yoshika to come with her to Nederland).

By the events of Strike Witches: The Movie and Operation Victory Arrow, Perrine’s become a much more sympathetic character: she represents how character growth can be so critical towards making a series compelling. As Perrine spent more time fighting alongside Yoshika, hostility would be displaced by a begrudging respect, and eventually, respect became friendship. However, over time, Perrine was revealed to be purely dedicated on Gallia’s recovery, and she believes that an efficient group of Witches is the fastest way to accomplish this. Perrine represents one of Strike Witches‘ most interesting characters: she began her journey openly hostile towards Yoshika, dropping insults whenever they’d crossed paths, and even sabotaging Yoshika’s Striker Unit at one point. Having been able to witness the blue tuplips blossom again, the Queen of Nederland feels that morale will be restored to their country and thanks Perrine. In the aftermath, it turns out that Perrine’s Tonnerre was the catalyst, and the previous Witch had been, in fact, her grandmother. Yoshika takes to the skies with a hoe and embeds it in the Neuroi, allowing Perrine to finish it off. When Shizuka fetches water, she comes across a Neuroi, which subsequently destroys the greenhouse and most of the tulips. Perrine and Shizuka continue helping in the fields while Yoshika rests during the day, and when night falls, Yoshika resumes her duties. Yoshika offers to power it, and in the process, begins to stablise her own magic. When the boiler explodes and fails, the gardeners hook up a backup power source: an old Striker Unit. That evening, the girls visit the greenhouses, which are being warmed by an old boiler to maintain a temperature of precisely 20☌ to keep the tulips happy. The next day, after Yoshika jumps head-first into helping the gardeners out, Perrine learns that they had an old M4 Sherman lying around. After visiting the greenhouses, Perrine gets into a bit of a disagreement with the one of the gardeners about the blue tulips and hears about an earlier Witch had been present to help out. Shortly after arriving, Perrine, Yoshika and Shizuka meets the Queen of Nederland, who answers a comment that Perrine had about the blue tulips in a painting being an uncommon sight: it turns out that these flowers had not bloomed in Nederland since the Human-Neuroi war started, despite her gardeners’ best efforts to revive the flower. Perrine had agreed to the assignment and specifically request that Yoshika be allowed to accompany her.

While showering, Perrine deliberately lowers the water temperature to a much cooler 20☌, shocking Yoshika into the main bath and drawing her attention: it turns out that Perrine had been assigned to visit the Queen of Nederland to help with morale in the country, with the hope of bolstering the citizen’s spirits and spurring them to contribute to the effort needed to liberate Berlin. So will I.” –UnknownĪfter making little progress in stablising her magic, Yoshika takes a short break with Shizuka. “Flowers grow back, even after they are stepped on.
