| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not a big fan of Alfreed but it looks like she is playing a useful role. Lol, I find her acting was pretty priceless. Imagine if Narsus heard all of that  Silver Mask still retains is intimidating nature. It was an alright buildup episode I guess. For most parts, it sets up the upcoming battles in a fashionable way. Even Arslan is training to become stronger~ |

| A slow build episode. Looking forward to the massive battle. AikaKateshiki said: That scene with Elam and Alfreed totally cracked me up > < |

The bit with the prophecy kind of came out of nowhere, so I'm really curious as to what it means. Probably something about the next king of Pars not being of royal blood or the like. The scene with Elam and Alfreed was hilarious as was the end card with 'Arslan visiting Japan' |

| Elam and Alfreed filled in for Gieve's absence in terms of the comedy in this episode XD |

| Great build up episode. I'm really hyped now for the battle! |
So the final battle between Silver Mask and Arslan begins. I wonder what King Andragoras meant by the prophesy. And one of my biggest mysteries of the show is Narsus's paintings. So curious what these 'incredible' paintings look like. I hope we get a chance to see that before the series ends.  That's one cute end card. I'd really watch a show of these characters in an alternate setting.  |

| I knew the moment the soldiers appeared it would become a "pretend couple" scene, but that scene was perfect. Elam x Alfreed ftw |
| Well, that was very interesting. I'm intrigued to see how the battle plays out, although I'm sure that Arslan will in no doubt become king, as it has stated in the end of every episode, so we know he'll win somehow. Gieve was my favourite character imo, shame he's not around for a few episodes but will hopefully make an appearance in aid of Arslan. Arslan may not be that strong in terms of strength, but his willpower and the ability to make the right moral decisions make up for it. Plus, he has most of the qualities to become a powerful leader and make good change. The end illustration was really well done and it was of similar art & manga style to that of the anime. |
| "The calm before the storm" episode eh? Etoile is still a religious prick even after Bodan has been crushed. I wanna see her reaction when she finds out who Arslan is actually. |

| Why do I feel like this episode put the biggest death flag ever on Narsus TwT The buildup was real though so hopefully the battle delivers |
| I don't think there is such things as death flag on this show. Especially for the major charas. On the other hand, I want to see Etoile's reaction to Arslan being the enemy prince. |
 |
| Can someone tell me how Alfreed and Elam managed to go in and out of city? As much as plausible their role as spy was the city is heavy-guarded and I really doubt they would let anyone out during the night. And why to even fight at Keep of Saint Emmanuel against 100.000 soldiers when capital city is undefended now? Sometime those "strategic" choices they do baffles me. Other than that this episode flow pretty well. |

| This was a really good episode and it does have some nice build up for the upcoming battle. |
| A nice buildup episode before the final battle. I'm interested in learning what Andragoras meant by the prophecy is being fulfilled. I wasn't expecting that, especially since there has been no mention of a prophecy before. Elam and Alfreed pretending to be a couple was pretty funny. I really want to see what Narsus' paintings look like. Hopefully we do before the anime ends, because if there's no season 2, we'll never know. Anyway, things should ramp up next episode. vodall said: Tokoya said: Why do I feel like this episode put the biggest death flag ever on Narsus TwT The buildup was real though so hopefully the battle delivers Yeah, it seems pretty certain that Narsus will die. I hope not, I really like Narsus. Drake1000 said: Ironically, if you listen to what she says, that's actually not a bad translation. But I also found that odd when I read it lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Lol at Alfreed and Elam. That prophecy bit was expected but felt out of place. |
 |
| I love the nuances shown in this episode ! Nice touch with the horses at the end showing the difference in Arslan's and Hermes' approach to command, Hermes treating his horse roughly to get it to do what he wants whilst Arslan was gentler in his actions to get the horse to stop. Then there is symbolism by colours - White [parsians] vs. Black [Hermes] ~~ Alfreed x Elam is sailing strongly,folks !  ~~ Mich666 said: Drake1000 said: Ayy LMAO ! ~~ SchwingBoner said: I would have loved if they can show us Narsus' paintings as an endcard :D Did anyone notice the tiny Hermes head lurking !? :o ~~ And thus, the boy would become king ! |

When Sam came to see him, Andragoras all mentioned the prophecy and the blood shed on the Pars royal family. |
| Thoughtless subordination is fine but not like this portrays, more like overlord. But they do need to think for themselves, so narsus is only half right. |
 |
| /sigh/, ofc there's a prophecy. A build up before the fight. Happens next ep, right? We'll see how it goes. I'm excited for some action. |

I've been watching a bunch of different things so sometimes it's hard to keep track of stuff. |

| A good build up episode. Next battle will be epic. |
| That lover act hahaha Hm...100,000 against 40,000 - 45,000, well shit haha Finally the war begin...can't wait for the outcome, but since Arslan have plot armor we kind of already guess what will happen after the battle lol. |
 |
| Cant wait for the next episode >_< |
| Good pace, battle next ep will be good. wonder if it'll finish up in 3 eps or if there's more arc's to come. |
 |
| interesting how the imprisoned Andragoras is still able to make Hermes pissed off. |

vodall said: Tokoya said: Why do I feel like this episode put the biggest death flag ever on Narsus TwT The buildup was real though so hopefully the battle delivers Yeah, it seems pretty certain that Narsus will die. Narsus reminded Arslan of his promise... Narsus dies... Arslan cries... Arslan apologizes because he couldn't fulfill their promise... When Arslan becomes King he still puts on Narsus' paiting all over the kingdom and says that they were beautiful in some way... I really didn't think of this but this schema often happens and it's breaking me. I don't want to see Arslan as a regretful king. He's alsp the one pushing them to victory. Can someone spoil me on this matter please? Anyway cute episode, I hope we get to see Gieve once more. |
 |
| We'd better get to see one of Narsus' paintings by the time this is over...It's been on my mind ever since it he was introduced. Otherwise, great build-up ep. Hopefully the final battle doesn't disappoint and present's a challenge to Narsus as well. Also, someone should tell Jaswant to wear some freaking armor. |
| that ending card and are they killng Narsus? oh come on now don't do that |

 |
| I decided to take a break after episode 10, but now that I've caught up I'm dying to see the following episodes. This series is so much fun! |
| Nothing really interesting in this episode, except for the fact Arslan's dad saying it was all prophesied and stuff. Well hopefully the final battle with Hermes doesn't turn out to be a disappointment. |
 |
| is the battle going to end in one episode or what? the prison scene with hermes and the king was v dark. the training of footsoldiers should have been done before hand though. the end card was perfect. |
 |
| Elam and Alfreed scene was so funny! So they are all going to the final battle. |
 |
| Arslan had a good idea to want train his soldiers. I am glad, the end of season is finally becoming interesting. The middle of the anime was a bit boring with all these wars without interruption. |
| wondering what is the prophecy the king was talking about? I hope lots of interesting events will happen in the battle, starting from Etoeal knowing Arslan is the prince. |
| My Anime List | |
| Hoping for an epic battle next |
| I think Hermes is afraid of Andragoras and his words. Now it's time for the final battle. |
| I wonder what is the prophesy that Andragonas was talking about.... |
 |
| My body is ready. |
| Season 2, 3 and 4 should be announced by now. There are like 42 years of novel to adapt. Looking forward to the battoru! :) |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| The calm before the storm. |
 |
| Preparing for the big war. Fairly good episode. |
 |
| The buildup is real. now, its time for action! |
