A Betrayer's Redemption?
Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus, miraculously escapes from Hell with the hope that the Holy Grail’s redemptive powers can save him. Driven by the possibility of atonement, he makes his way to Camelot, where he encounters the group tasked with protecting the Grail. Galahad is suspicious of Judas, questioning whether they should trust him. However, Pope Benedict advocates for forgiveness, reminding everyone that Jesus' teachings are rooted in mercy and redemption.
Around the campfire, a deeper conversation unfolds. It becomes clear that Judas' motivation for doing good deeds is driven by his desire for personal redemption, rather than for the sake of pure goodness. This realization leads Celine, the succubus, to question her own motivations, as she recognizes a similar drive within herself. Galahad, too, begins to reflect on whether his own actions are motivated by self-interest or a genuine desire to do good.
Despite the doubts, Galahad decides to give Judas a chance, assigning him a humble but meaningful task—digging ditches to help fortify Camelot against the looming siege. This act symbolizes the group’s willingness to offer Judas a path to redemption while preparing for the battles ahead.
