Revival: Menace's Palace of Pleasure

"Revival: Menace's Palace of Pleasure" is the twenty-eighth episode of the Queen's Blade anime.

Story
The Swamp Witch has given Airi and Melona three days to retrieve Menace. Airi and Melona journey through the desert and find that Menace has created a vibrant city along the river. Menace apparently made a lot of money by partnering up with a figurine maker to make a popular line of figures featuring Queen's Blade competitors. In the city, Airi and Melona bump into Ymir who is unsuccessful in selling her weapons. Ymir leads Airi and Melona to the boats that lead to Menace's palace before informing the two that she's returning to Gainos to learn fighting skills from Claudette. Airi and Melona take the boat to Menace's palace and finds that Menace is living the high life with many beautiful girls as her servants. To Airi and Melona's surprise, the servants aren't under any spell and appear to be serving Menace willingly. Airi tries to get down to business and demands that Menace accompany them back to the swamp, but Melona decides she wants to try out a queen's life and sides with Menace. Without Melona's support, Airi's efforts are frustrated as she stands by while Menace and Melona enjoy the high life. Airi then gets talked into a wine drinking contest with the other two girls and ends up with a bad hangover which further stifles her efforts. After recovering from her hangover on the third day, Airi convinces Melona to rejoin her side by threatening to report Melona's behavior to the Swamp Witch. When Menace refuses to budge, Airi and Melona decide to use force, but Menace uses her powerful magic to fight back. The battle gets out of hand and Menace's palace is destroyed, but Menace's servants are still around and willing to help Menace rebuild the palace. Airi and Melona then discover that Menace's subjects are all masochists who love being abused by Menace, and the two decide to head back home without Menace.
