None was happy in mounting this episode; production of LADY OSCAR perfectly knew that the existance of such episode had one only reason: the sonorous flop of their work; due to this fact such episode went on tv one only time, it was 19th March 1980 (at 7.00 pm, as usual) and then it remained almost forgotten. Not only it was never exported but also it was never published in Japan and never returned on tv again.
Riyoko Ikeda too wished this episode to be forgotten and simply removed from the memory of people thinking to VERSAILLES NO BARA... and Ikedąs wish came truth in a sense: now THE ROSE OF VERSAILLES ANIMATION has got a wonderful success all around the world and, far 27 years from that fatal March of 1980, there are only a few few persons who ever heard about this "Moetsukita Bara no Shouzou" and many less are those who can tell they saw it: why not to publish it since so much time has passed now? The main reason is that it was not a proper episode: in March 1980 it was not possible to create a montage resuming the ending of the story (the end we know) because at that time, the last episodes of the series had not been realized yet!

So what was it? This sort of special Episode 24 was nothing else then a sort of documentary, in which one only image was blinking on the screen and upon that, the narrator's voice was telling the conclusion of the story. That blinking image was the one in which Oscar and Andrč are riding together, dressing the National Guard uniforms... it was the same table who would been choosen to be the final painting for episode 37th (when Oscar and Andrč are running to their barrack after love...).

So this painting was appearing and disappearing on the screen and into it, as with a "picture in pictures" effect, other scenario's tables were running, more or less this is the sequence of what they represented:
- Jeanne beeing marked
- farmers forced to abandon sons for famine (this scene has been removed)
- desperate homeless poeple invading Paris, starving
- crowd looking with mad eyes (these tables will be used for the assault to the Jarjayes coach)
These tables, who were showing the disgraces of the Revolution right before exploding, they were fllowing slowly on the screen. During them running, narrator's voice was telling something like (short):
"Already before the intrigue and finally with the intrigue of the collier, hate of people grows up out of measures and focalizes against the royal family, nobles, cloth and richest... Positions of commons are extreme... Oscar and Andrč are running to face their destiny... Oscar feels she can't dress the Royal Guard uniform anymore and she leaves command to Girodelle in order to run with Andrč and join soldiers of the National French Guard with him..." [Nothing about Oscar's feelings for Fersen...]
Then the image was changing and a street of Paris was appearing: a mad crowd of folks attacks the couch of Oscar and Andrč... they are closed by the crowd who is crying death to them... Andrč was caught ... (here the sequence is known... Fersen arrives and attracts the attention of the crowd on himself in order to move them away - but the sequence into this 24th episode is shorter and without dialogues... the are only the main tables flashing on the screen).
Third and last sequence: Oscar's portrait appears... Andrč endeavors to see it... none talks... then Oscar seems she is asking Andrč what to do and then they take the horses and run away... Oscar guides Andrč's horse because he is amost blind and he is not able to ride well. There is not any background dialogue in the last scene so we can only feel a deept comprehension grown between Oscar and Andrč and we feel that Oscar is ready to leave with him for the last journey of their human lifes.
The first table with Oscar and Andrč on horses came out again...and it's THE END!

At present days no trace remains about this unlucky episode 24th, who was born unforseen and grew improvised... so much that a few days after the transmission of it on tv, some anime magazines were asking "... but what about BERUBARA!?" with astonishment and unbelief at the first time... facing such a cut to the series, in the deep of its running. The series will go on running in one only japanese district.
All we know now about this episode, it's only after the narrations of japanese people who had the occasion to watch it on that day of March 1980. Nothing exists about it anymore, not any edition, nor officially nor elseway.

Very different was the destiny of the 41st episode of the series, whose title in English could be "THE ROSES OF VERSAILLES AND THE WOMEN": just like the other, this was a montage episode, probably born as a sort of leave-taking for fans (those few fans remained till the end...); but the Berubarąs history would have reserved much better fortune to it.
Episode 41 of LADY OSCAR was transmitted one time only in Japan, on Wednesday 10th September 1980: it was lasting double then regular episodes (about 40 minutes rather then 22 of regulars) and it was a long filming running through the most important scenes of the story. Narrator's voice in this episode has a brand-new behaviour: she speaks with a sort of backfeeling as to a public who already know the story... and she guides the public trough a sort of reconstrucion of the events, with very sensitive touch and sadness.

Episode 41st too never exit Japan and it has never transmitted on tv, still it remains into a VHS publishing, released in Japan by VICTOR during '80s, whose title was "THE ROSE OF VERSAILLES, MEMORIAL OF OSCAR FRANĒOIS DE JARDJAIS" (Note: "Jardjais" is the japanese pronounciation of French "Jarjayes" - many editions of LADY OSCAR during '80s were presenting this name as after the japanese accent...). This VHS, which you can find informations about, among the video original-editions, has became a very hard-to-find object now it has got an high value for collectors.
