My sig references a scene late in the series.
** Spoiler **
Eugenie is being forced to marry Cavalcanti in an arranged marrage, but right before the vows, Al, Frantz, and Lucein crash the party, and while they distract the guards, Al fights Cavalcanti and then grabs Eugenie and jumps out a window with her in his arms. After that scene I said "Wow, Albert finally grew some balls of steel!"
.... Ok, so maybe there wasn't any bullet dodging in the anime.
But it's the most romantic scene in the movie, with Albert flexing his manliness and Eugenie fawning over him, and it was the first time Al stopped acting like a child and acted like a grown man, and took care of business and stood up for himself. I'm sure the Count was watching the whole thing, and thinking "See, all that buttsecks we had gave you the strength to stop being a pussy and start being a real man."
