| OMG why did I miss out on this anime for so long.. last 2 episodes left and I'm craving for more.. I really hope they continue this series in the future but knowing Madhouse, the chances are slim.. also what an ominous foreshadowing between Ikta and Yatori, if that's how the series is gonna end in the future it's going to be tragic but if the author can do it right it would be an awesome end as well.. still hoping a happy end for the knights though.. |

| The princess is having wet dreams about Ikta. lol Matthew got shot. Dat Haro tear. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| The scene between Ikta, Yatorishino, and Suuya was actually great. All three of them are in service of the empire, and therefore must follows order from on high, regardless of their personal feelings. That being said, they're all humans that think and feel, and could ignore unreasonable orders if they so choose. Ikta could have fled, leaving the Sinack behind. In doing so, he could have saved the lives of everyone under his command, but he'd lose Nanaqu, the entire Sinack force, and the trust of the entire Sinack population. However, by choosing to prioritize the Sinack, he'd lose close friends attempting to save former enemies. There's no correct decision here, but what's important was having both Ikta and Yatorishino acknowledge their actions and own up to the casualties. I also liked Yatorishino stating the unconditional necessity of following orders, regardless of emotions. In doing so, she also states that if she were given the order to kill Ikta, she'd absolutely kill him, but she'd first kill her own emotions and identity in order to comply with the order. She acknowledges her own hypocrisy, but also explains the method by which she'd overcome it, even at the cost of her own morality. Yeah, this show is actually quite well written. |
| Ikta's choice of not saving Kanna still torments him till now. We also saw some thoughts that Ikta has, that show how he truly feels inside, and I really enjoyed to have that view of him. Ikta decided this time to save his allies, and that left to some losses on his platoon, and made Suuya disappointed in him, but the truth is that it was Yatori that made that decision. Then Suuya asked her if the Empire ordered her to kill Ikta, if she would, to which she surprisingly replies with "Yes", and Ikta asks her how would she do it, and Yatori says she would first take out her own soul, and then only leave the Igsem in her, and then kill him... This moment was really tense, and I feel like Ikta was disappointed with her choice, because she's only living for the Empire, making choices that go against her own values just because of her family name, and I feel like what he said in episode 5 about freeing her is about this: she's trapped in a world she doesn't agree with, only because of her family name and the expectations layed on her. That's how I interpret his answer with that he will mourn her loss until the day a blade slices his head, which I feel like means he doesn't see the Yatori he once knew in her, which is really sad honestly. I wonder if we will get any more involvement in these 2 episodes that are left about this relationship between Yatori and Ikta, but I felt this was the highlight of the episode honestly (although the battle scene was really well done). |
