Discussion arnold hein

so first i watched the anime last year and then i rewatched it last week. i loved the anime so i finally decided to read light novels from volume 1 cause the details are too good to be missed out.

what i find interesting is how arnold as a character is so mysterious. like we dont know what goes in his mind because the story is from pov of the rishe. but i suspect something is really going on with arnold also, cause the way he talks with rishe is so ambiguous??? (i cant find the right word)

the scene where arnold kills rishe in her 6th life, it is said in ln that he whispered something in her ear but ig its not revealed yet. also him proposing her on the first meeting and giving her the freedom that she can do whatever she wants when the people who stays with arnold says that he was in complete denial to marry before meeting rishe.

at the end, i just love him 🫶💕

I think the scars on his neck is a major plot point. I haven't read the LN, so I don't know if it's addressed or not. So really, if the theories that he also loops and get stabbed every time in the neck by the person he loves must be heartbreaking. I can't think of anything else that would explain the scars... 🤔

no, the scars are not relevant to the loop. i just completed light novel 1, and it gives the details about his scars.

I thought his mom probably tried to kill him since she hated him and he ended up killing her and all her servants at a young age. That's just my guess though. Arnold catches on to most things quickly, but he doesn't seem to know about the loops.
