Comet Lucifer Spinoff Flash Anime Short's 11th Episode Explains Ena, Zoneboyle's Past

Bandai Visual began streaming the 11th 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 short features Sōgo Amagi, Felia, and Moura (in her transformed girl form) discussing the past of Sōgo's mother Ena, and Zoneboyle. Moura quizzes Sōgo and Felia, asking them to fill in the blanks on a paragraph, which they eventually solve. The paragraph notes that Ena was studying a spaceborne material called Lucifer that could provide greater energy than even Giftjium. Zoneboyle invested in her research, in an effort to turn the planet Gift into an even richer world. The short goes on to explain that Ena was following the "Lima Hypothesis," from where the idea of Lucifer started. "Lima" stood for "L" (Lucifer) in the phonetic alphabet. Felia's power of life is the power that Ena and Zoneboyle sought. Research on Lucifer halted with Ena's death, but Zoneboyle continues the research alongside Anatolia under the codename "Lima," and with the assistance of the government, now seeks the whereabouts of Felia, who is key to the research.
