Translation Notes
In the final script, "Evil Spirit" is the name of the entity that Creed talks to. In the April script, though, "evil spirit" is just a descriptor for the creature, not a name. |

A giant, golden-eyed blue head with bushy eyebrows appears above the altar.

They're very quick!
Where are they going to? |
|

Hmmm....
Where are they heading? |

power will be awfully
strong! |

No! Evil Spirit exploded!
That's Zeons power.
