| I was hoping for a great but realistic ballad. But ofc there had to be stupid "shounen-ish" elements in it... like the grandpa master that kills dozens of enemies in mere seconds then gets killed by the bad guy... And swords do note break like that that goddamit, when will the chinese cartooners ever learn. Yes japanese swords were fragile, but only when hit on the side, not head-on. And his sword was not even japanese-styled, more like a medieval one. That's why i call bullshit (or magical sword, but please, that would be even worse...) And yes this is similar to Akatsuki no Yona, in the aspect that super strong people swear fealty to a weakling useless brat... Thing that by the way never ever happens. In the middle-ages, it was far from rare that princes and kings were destituted because they were incompetent or considered as weak. So far this anime is OK, but too romanticized for me. |
| Overall decent development, let's see what's next! |
 |
| Seriously....why would you make your escape route (or any other route) for troop movement in the most disadvantage path? How the hell did this king manage to have a winning streak for so long? 0/10 strategy-would starcraft II him. |
| "It is the emptiness that make the stars bright." "If you've known pain and hardship, it is easier to be kind to others." |
| FUCK I can't remember any of the names other than Arslan. Anyways yeah this had some good moments, especially about the one where they talked about how horrible it was to kill the women and children. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This is amazing so far and I continue to be surprised by how historically accurate its depictions are. |

| That masked guy is voiced by Kaji Yuki. How am I supposed to take him seriously? lol. Look at him, he's angry that the king did not recognize him.. wtf you're wearing a freaking mask! that's just stupid. It's like asking a blindfolded person how many fingers you're holding up. Whatever this is clearly a wrong choice of voice actor. I like most of his characters but his voice is fit only to edgy male teenagers not vengeful evil villains smh. What is marzban? what is farsang? They really should do some info dump soon because I'm getting confused. |

KolmeDG said: Thanks. I'm 10 episodes in but still no idea about those.PrimeX said: What is marzban? what is farsang? They really should do some info dump soon because I'm getting confused. As far as I know, Marzban is a rank in Parsian military and it means a leader of 10000 cavalry. Farsang is a unit of distance used in Pars and 1farsang=5km. |

| Nice episode, i guess from here on it will be a quest to reconquer his country, hope more amazing large scale battle like that are too come ! |
| That distorted sound they play for whenever that masked fella used his sword was annoying as hell. Other than that, another good episode. Sucks that their army got defeated in such a crappy manner. This show really makes me want to play some Medieval II: Total War xD |
 |
| Lol this keeps getting better and better #Sarcasm |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Episode kept reminding me of JoJo. And so the King is dead. Wish Vahriz didn't die. He was cool. |
| 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). |
| RIP old man Vahriz. Again, Lusitania's strategy really was something. Some many traitors in the ranks. Wonder how they were able to get their support. Seo Kouji's illustration |

groovykirito said: true but yona actually became stronger over time as she discovered herself and hopefully if theres a season 2, we can see how much shes grown Woah, what a throwback. Amusing to read a post I've written 2 years ago xD Concerning Yona, I failed to see how she got better. I watched 22 episodes of it and at that point she was still getting carried by her followers and accomplishing very little by herself. If you liked Yona though, I can only urge you to watch Juuni Kokuki, as it has a similar premise and delivered a better execution imo. |
| Yea sure. Arslan is still a pussy. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| RIP old man. Did the king died? But OP seem to tell he gets captured alive. The story is progressing nice and slowly. I would love to watch more episodes, but I'm busy with studies. At least one episode a day would do. |
| Silvermask is the Kings bastard child through rape?, during a previous campaign Well, theres doubting how evil Lusitania is, child butchers... Hmmm another silver haired character, suspicious |
| Andragoras did ran away, it was reluctant, but daring escape! 😏 |
| Audaces fortuna juvat. |
| Kharlan used Daryun for the purposes of overthrowing King Andragoras. Does he hope Lusitania to install him as a client king or will he turn on them after he's done? Other traitors in the Parsian army sabotage the King's order to retreat to throw the troops into disarray, resulting in Kubard and Shapur's deaths. On the way to the royal capital, the retreating forces are ambushed by Lusitanian archers, Vahriz clears the path of Lusitanian cavalry but guest general Silver Mask slaughters both him and Andragoras. His words indicate a personal grudge against the King. Was he a former slave or a relative of one? The resilient Parsian cavalry emerged out of the flames to attack the Lusitanian fort; though the Lusitanians achieved their objectives, they do suffer heavy losses. Under the name of their god, the Lusitanians committed atrocities against Maryam, which may haunt one of the commanders at the fort. Arslan and Daryun visit the residence of Narsus, some sort of polymath. Given that they are to set out on a journey in the ED, is Daryun gathering a contingent of skilled men for Arslan to lead? |
