Mission Eight: Raubtier

In Mission Eight, Schwarz make a brief appearance in the office of Masafumi Takatori, along with their employer, Reiji Takatori. The Schuldich & Farfarello implications in this episode are very small, as Schwarz are in it for about ten seconds. This is the first time we see the other members of Schwarz besides Crawford, who appeared in Mission Two: Fort Laufen. It is the first time that Schuldich and Farfarello are shown, and they are always together. True, it's only for a meeting between Father and Son, but the very first time we see either character, they are standing together, or walking together. Also, in this second image, when Schwarz are walking with Takatori, Schuldich and Farfarello walk closely together, which sort of shows allegance to each other. Crawford and Nagi walk close to Takatori, showing that they are with him, and close to him, therefore, giving allegance to Reiji (even if they don't really give two shits about him). Schuldich and Farfarello, walking so decidedly together, and farther behind their teammates and employer, shows definite favourtism towards each other.


Mission Nine: Schreient

In Mission Nine, which is concentrated more on Schreient, the bodyguards of Masafumi Takatori, Schuldich and Farfarello approach Nagi after he meets with Tot, the youngest member of the all-female assassin group. It's pretty obvious from the dialog they exchange with Nagi that they've been watching his encounter with Tot. They come out of the trees together, and both have kind of... err, wistful tones to their voice. It also seems strange that both of them would go to keep an eye on Nagi, when it wasn't really a two person job. But, yet again, Schuldich and Farfarello are side by side, which is a thread throughout each episode of Weiss Kreuz.








Mission Twelve: Abscheid

In Mission Twelve, Schuldich and Farfarello are fighting against Weiss, in particular Omi Tsukiyono Schuldich is playing mind games with Omi, as well as his love interest Ouka Takatori, and the battle is a result of the mental manipulation Schuldich as put upon Omi and Ouka. This fight isn't a result of any mission from Reiji Takatori for Schwarz, but rather, a side project of Schuldich's. He won't even tell his Schwarz teammates the real identities of Weiss, and yet, he allows Farfarello to come with him. He could have asked Nagi or Crawford, but again, it's Fafarello and Schuldich together. Schudich won't tell the other members anything about Weiss, but he still lets Farfarello come with him. It shows trust and a desire to have Farfarello with him. They also fight very close together. Whenever there have been other Schwarz fighting scenes, they don't fight standing so close togeher, for they don't really need to. But, it looks like they're purposely standing close. In the picture with Schuldich firing the gun, it looks like he's shielding Farfarello from attack, but it could also be an excuse to touch Farfarello.


Mission Eighteen: Schuld

In Mission Eighteen, which is called Schuld, which also means Guilt (Note: The word Schuldig (which is the correct German spelling of Schuldich's name) means guilty. Coincidence? I think not), which is a Farfarello centered episode, there are more Schu/Farf hintings than in any of the other episodes, mainly because it concentrates on Farfarello. At the beginning of the episode, it shows the members of Schwarz, without Farfarello, and Schuldich asks where he is. The way that Crawford and Nagi respond shows that they don't really care. Nagi keeps to himself all the time anyway, and Crawford is only concerned with the 'ends justifying the means', and as long as it helps their Estet mission, he couldn't care less what Farfarello does. Schuldich, by asking about the Irishman, shows that he is the only one who is really concerned about Farfarello's actions or whereabouts. In this episode, Farfarello is killing members of the clergy, and is punished by his Schwarz teammates (namely Crawford, who is in control of Schwarz) for 'reckless' behaviour. His punishment is to be hanged upside down in a straight jacket. However, Schuldich is the one to let him out. He says "Punishment's Over", and then says "Come here a sec." Now, one could argue that Schuldich is saying this because Nagi discovered a website pertaining to Farfarello, but from what we know of Schwarz, they wouldn't rush to tell each other about exciting new webpages they saw. And, Schuldich says it a little bit too meaningfully to just be about a webpage. Near the end of the episode, Farfarello goes to the church where Ruth will be. Ken Hidaka and Omi are there to help Ruth, because they know that Farfarello will hurt her, and a fight ensues. While Farfarello is fighting Ken and Omi, Schuldich and Crawford come to the rescue. During this battle, Crawford seems more concerned with fighting Weiss than he is with helping Farfarello. Schuldich is the one who drives his Jeep right into the church to get Farfarello out while Crawford stays outside. Schuldich is the one that gets Farfarello out of harm's way, not even bothering to deal with the members of Weiss. While they are driving away, and Farfarello wakes up in the back of the car, Schuldich seems far more concerned than Crawford is, who is more teasing. This episode shows that Farfarello and Schuldich have more of a developed friendship with each other than with Crawford or Nagi, whom both treat Farfarello as just an insane teammate who's kind of a nuisance. Schuldich is the one that seems to be charged with taking care of him, and shows actual concern for Farfarello.


Mission Twenty Two: Mitleid

This episode doesn't really have any Schuldich/Farfarello implications, even though they are still seen together most of the time. I just wanted to put this picture in this page. This episode concentrated more on Schreient's last days, as well as the deaths of Hell and Schoen, and the relationship between Nagi and Tot. But, in this Helicopter shot, look at Schuldich, and the obviously sexual way that he's gripping the steering handle. Also note that it's Farfarello that's sitting beside him. A prelude to something? ^__^









Mission Twenty Three: Schraube

In Mission Twenty Three, it shows Schuldich and Farfarello in Schuldich's car together, sitting and watching Sakura Tomoe outside the flower shop that the Weiss members use as a cover. In the car, they have a conversation together about Schuldich's powers. Farfarello asks what it's like, and Schuldich answers honestly, about telepathy not being as fun as it seems, and the fact that it's hard for him to distinguish his own mind from everyone else's. This shows that Schuldich and Farfarello are comfortable enough with each other to discuss personal things like their powers and abilities. And, the fact that Farfarello actually bothered to ask shows he cares, because Farfarello is the type of man that he wouldn't ask if he didn't want to hear it, and Schuldich wouldn't have answered if he didn't really want to talk about it. It's hard to imagine Schuldich having the same conversation with either Crawford or Nagi, because neither of them would bother to ask, because they don't really care, and Schuldich wouldn't bother to tell, because he would know they wouldn't really listen anyway.
