Comet Lucifer Spinoff Flash Anime Short's 5th Episode Explains Bipedal Armor

Bandai Visual began streaming the fifth episode of the Comet Lucifer television anime's spinoff SD Flash anime "Garden Indigo no Shasō Kara" (From Garden Indigo's Window) on Sunday. The episode features the characters Sōgo Amagi, Moura, and Felia explaining the story's Bipedal Armor, originally developed for mining Giftjium. The episode further explains that after Giftjium powered frames, development of Bipedal Armor movement became much more precise, and Armor operation became more energy efficient. The video notes that its eventual military usage was inevitable. The Valov family reaped huge financial rewards with the Bipedal Armor, and eventually came to govern Garden Indigo.

This episode will be a bonus extra on the third Comet Lucifer Blu-ray Disc volume along with a Blu-ray exclusive episode 6 on March 24. Episode 1 will be available along with the Blu-ray-exclusive episode 2 in the anime's first Blu-ray Disc volume on January 29, while episode 3 will be available with the Blu-ray exclusive episode 4 in the second volume on February 24.
