Rysia was sadly ignore but hopefully not the little sister
God what a weird name.
Not as bad as nameless or magnacasca gunfight or that commander commonsense (what a stupid name)
Let me talk about my favorite character
Aliceliese has literally manifested the middle sister traits in this work . Where she was forced to grow in particular way for her family sake . Whilst her big sister definitely put efforts to get better it was all unseen due to the power system .
Alice focus on her life goals made her distant from both sisters . The girl doesn’t even know some normal pleasures like her little sister nor depends on others like her big sister . As result she couldn’t often abandon her role even if she want to . We can only imagine how she grow up as politics child . Her teenage days filled of meeting and papers . Restricted
Even though she seems to accept this fate . Her struggles began to show when she met iska . A person who treat her differently . Not just a princess soon to be queen or weapon in war . She tried to balance this desire with her reality . Then both of her sisters actions that she observed begin to rub on her . They were far from the princess she build herself to be . A foreign idea of princess .
Alice arc is all about identity and what she really want . This is my favorite part about her . She’s discovering different desires and sides of her that probably didn’t exist before . Question and fear to lose this only relationship if she give up and names it something else. Because if she did it will contradict her ideals and the role she was given . The way she grows to be. She also began to see her flaws . Her fate goes upside down in single night yet she was strong to accept this change and had unsuccessful attempts to ask for help from the only person who have seen the true Aliceliese .
Not like before where she freed him in return got something back but this time it will be as bond between two persons . I’m so excited for the next volumes and how Aliceliese is going to develop
Yes i had to group them together as i feel its better.
Honest thoughts on her.
What are your honest thoughts on him the MC?
Hold nothing back.
I saw that the second season got paused and will be released idk when to keep the quality of the story, but on Google I also found something saying it's canceled, is it true? I don't want to believe it.
Do you know ?
Mine would be the first time iska have seen Alice mark . I love it so much because it showed so much understanding and depth . In a moment where usual animes would make it be comedy or perv .
That moment was meaningful to both and started made Alice trust him and be comfortable . It was wholesome
What is yours ?
Honestly this may be just me but isnt he a shitty teacher ???
Like he gives the ML the sword. Doesn't tell him at all the real purpose ( something the emperor even brought up) leaves without any fanfare to help guide him as his student lives without any real knowledge of the truth to maybe change things.
Iirc said he chose him cause he had no expectations ( pretty awful thing to think of someone as your successor ) as he was too similar to himself to not be able to stop the war. And then he spends 80% of the story not doing shit when he could and now after meeting again he avoids him(iska) to not talk about his story or reasons why.
And iirc too. He told jhin that iska was also chosen because he was DUMB( or something close to it) and supposedly its meant to be right???? That stupid.
Oh. He also never has a real talk with the likes of alice or sisbell aka his friend(rose) descendant for some reason when he should.
Hes honestly a shit mentor in my book. And the fact that he doesn't get condeemed or call out for it is bad writting.
And no. The author using the trope of mysterious mentor with secrets doesnt not hold up in this case. As there not enough depth or focus on him or exploration to fully makes it work. Unlike other exemples.
Hes probably one of the most badly written character actually so far.
I only saw the images and i dunno if discord has a link of a MTL yet version of it but it seems like the leads are seperated ?
Also emperor guy looks afraid at the end so....final boss time?
I have have epubs for Rakudi Kishi no Calvary and Mushoku tensei. Anyone got a google drive or equivalent they’re willing to share so I can add kimisen to my library?
Realmente ahora estoy más intrigada por saber que va a pasar a partir de este punto con Elletear, el imperio, la soberania y sobre todo con la relación de Iska y Alice
I've been obsessed with our Last Crusade for a long time now as it's one of my favorite anime but in the show and manga and even light novels one thing that has gotten me so confused is the limits of black astral sword while definitely powerful as it's been able to cut through Kissings time space thorns and even through talisman's Mechanical energy astral art and even through Mizerhybys Glory art I have always wondered if it's able to cut through every astral art or if it has limits in the light novels and manga at the points it's specifies that it can cut through every astral art in the light novel the first Secret Series page 24 line 29 Iska specifies That he is able to cut through every astral art but as We can see in the anime or any of the three sources there are certain astral Arts that he can't cut through like how he wasn't able to cut through Alice's blossom and even if we say it is an invincible Astral art He wasn't able to cut through Salinger's wind which he should have been able to cut through although we haven't seen it I feel he should be able to cut through some of the basic astral Arts I've always wondered of the limits of the sword because at times he specifies that he can cut through everything but realistically he can't this is also why I wonder why he's not scared of fighting a new type of enemy he faces astral Mages as if his swords can cut through every astral art He faced kissing as if he knew he was able to cut through her art what I wonder is if he did training does he know what he can cut through and what he can't and does he get scared when he faces a power that he hasn't been able to cut through why wouldn't he be scared of all astral Mages because he doesn't know what power they have imagine he faced kissing but couldn't cut through her thorns how would he have known that he could cut through her thorns and if he didn't already have knowledge why wasn't he scared although I haven't read all of the light novels I have I have read up to nine and I've read all the manga and watched all the anime I've just wondered what the limits are and if its intetionaI hope you can answer my questions about the limits and if you know something I don't please tell me.
imagine a hypothetical where he never met and fallen in love with alice, who's the one who has a higher chance to have a relationship with him?
Cause if so i would love to know how and were i can read vol 14 and 15 as well as secret file plz
I had done the anime S1… when I was about to watch S2… I m wondering why are there only 4 episodes? And I google searched about it and knew that it got delayed…. Unfortunately, I will have to wait till it released all of em… So I will read LN I downloaded 1 secret smth and 11 vols of LN. I wonder where can I pick up from LN and what’s the difference about secret smth and normal vol 1… pls answer me thx
I just caught up and I heard that they’ll delay the second season for better quality. I just caught up and THIS happens? I’m surprised that’s even possible after releasing 5 episodes. Hopefully it’ll get the quality that it deserves, I can accept that much. But how long will it be? When will they release it again?
Sorry for the sudden post but had to post it
Seems like the climax fight is gonna happen (maybe 2 volumes left)
Maybe to contrast this cover the next one will be the leads in a similar pose?
Anyways things will get interesting. Elletear rocking that new dress though( not sure if i like her previous one more or not)
Cause we know Alice's, sisbell, queen, kissing and Myzerhyby
But to my knowledge its never stated were her crest is located ?
Anyone knows?
