In the version that I've been playing since way back when, I think Mr. Rubicant says "Was it flame? I will show you how." which is stupid because he then proceeds to use Glare, not flame, proving that he actually has no idea how Edge does flame.
Anyway, I like Rubicant a lot. He's a gentlemanly guy, with honorable qualities that defy his title of "fiend". Like, instead of the four fiends of the elements, it should be the 3 fiends and the 1 pretty nice guy of the elements.
Plus Rubicant makes it clear that Lugae messed up Edge's parents on his own twisted will, and Rubicant is not pleased that Lugae did a thing like that. Even when you run into a second time, He's all smiles and red capes, healing you again. The other 3 fiends probably got kinda frustrated that Rubicant was always helping out the guys they were supposed to be killing.
I wonder how someone so decent could've sworn himself over to evil? Was he created by Golbez? If so, I think Golbez might want to rethink the developmental stages on a killing machine that heals the thing it ought to be killing.
