The episode titled "Crimson Pulse" is the fifth episode of the first season of the anime series Ange Vierge. Ange Vierge is an anime series that revolves around a group of teenage girls who are recruited by a mysterious entity known as the "Exceeds" to battle against otherworldly creatures known as "The Beasts".
The episode opens up with a new transfer student in the protagonist's class, named Amane Ayashiro. She is shown to have a cold and distant demeanor, making it hard for her to be friends with her classmates. Meanwhile, back at the headquarters of the Exceeds, the team is told about a "Crimson Pulse" that has been detected in a nearby area. The team is sent to investigate.
After arriving at the location, the girls realize that the Crimson Pulse is causing the surrounding area to become hotter, making it difficult to move around easily. The girls split up to search the area and try to locate the source of the Crimson Pulse. As they search, they come across several Beasts that they must battle.
During the battles, Amane proves to be a skilled fighter, easily taking down several Beasts on her own. After the battles, the girls regroup and search for the source of the Crimson Pulse. They eventually come across a giant crystal that is emitting the pulse. Amane recognizes the crystal and reveals that it is a fragment of the "Emulator", a powerful artifact that was used to destroy an entire world in the past.
As the girls try to destroy the crystal, they are confronted by a mysterious girl who reveals that she is a member of a group that is searching for Emulator fragments. She reveals that the fragments of the Emulator have the power to grant wishes and that her group is searching for them to use for their own purposes.
The girls refuse to hand over the fragment, prompting the mysterious girl to summon a powerful Beast to attack them. The team engages the Beast in battle while Amane tries to destroy the crystal. She eventually succeeds, causing the Beast to disappear, but the mysterious girl manages to escape with the fragment.
The episode ends with the team returning back to headquarters, where Amane reveals that she knows more about the Emulator than she originally let on. She reveals that she is a "chosen one", a person with a special power that is needed to activate the Emulator. The team is left wondering what her true motives are and how they will affect their mission.
In summary, "Crimson Pulse" is an action-packed episode that introduces a new character and delves into the world-building of the Ange Vierge universe. The episode also sets up a new plot point that will undoubtedly have future ramifications for the team.
