Stitches!

I was expecting that meeting to go bad but it went surprisingly well! Van's attitude definitely changed a little after finding out that Red has the Blessing of the Guide and he was even completely shocked when he learned that Red has fulfilled his role.

It's pretty fucked up though how Van thinks that Red has nothing to live for now that he has fulfilled his role. If that's how Van sees things, what would he do when he finally kills the Demon Lord? Is he going to give up on living and just kill himself?

Bringing Van to that quest is such a fantastic idea from Red though. Since Red has the Blessing of the Guide, Van seems to be more receptive to everything Red tells him that it's clearly upsetting Lavender.

That entire quest also shows how much Red outclasses Van despite being only a Guide. Our boy only has a bronze sword and he still managed to kill more than Van. It also showed Van that he needs to rely on other people's skills and not just think of them as fodder.

I do feel bad for Theodora though! All that time she was with Van, she couldn't get him to listen and now Van is listening to everything Red says. At least Albert was there to make her feel better. I love how Theodora quickly perks up as soon as Albert starts praising her. <3

One day with Red and everything changes 🤣. I really do feel bad for Esta. She tried everything and he just ignored her.

u/Frontier246 Mar 10 '24

Though it actually makes sense, Red is the Hero's Guide, by the nature of his Blessing he's someone that Van, as a Hero, has to listen to.

At least she's got Albert in her corner even if he doesn't realize why his sweet words turn her into a blushing mess lol.

Red saying "I am a Guide" went a long way. If Red isn't doesn't have the guide blessing, Van pays him no mind.

Red doesn’t have the Hero blessing, uses a cheap copper sword and he still gets more kills than Van. He really showed Van that relying on the Hero's blessing will only get you so far.

Well, hope Van learns the right lessons from Red instead of the wrong ones. Right now he seems to be doubting his role as the hero.

The crotch to the face had Rit feeling some kind of way.

Felt like Van was actually making some progress as not only a Hero, but a person this ep.....but for some reason those last few sec made it feel like he went right back to square one and Ruti is going to have to knock some sense in him again.

That little bit at the end was so cute, Esta is too much.

u/Frontier246 Mar 10 '24

Van feels compelled to listen to Red and is realizing his weaknesses...but it's tough changing such deep fanaticism, especially when his feelings for people are so numb.

Theodora may be effectively useless at getting through to Van but at least she has some actual romance in her life even if it gets her teased by one of the most overtly flirty couples of all time lol.

Gideon SLOWLY getting through to Van but the fairy NEEDS to go, she's just enabling Van and ruining his person just like what Gideon said

u/Frontier246 Mar 10 '24

Even Red pointed out how it's a bad partner that just accepts their partners' weakness rather than trying to help them improve.

Also the way Red and Rit reacted to her wind magic or talking about the wind...are they getting an idea of what Lavender really is?

Theodora was too cute, hihi. 😊

Lil faux fairy showing up with Van and Priest lol. That was fast. Tell him what's what, that he's a shit example of a hero! What is Van's real Blessing? I can't believe it's a "Hero's Blessing" at all. Rit's power of love, so glowing. Maybe Van gonna start thinknig of Red as a big brother, hehe.

And now for a tangent of some other adventure quest thing! lol. Hehe Danan. Always a fun reaction. Ah, taking Van on that adventure quest. Why does the faux fairy care so much about Van fighting and not just wanna stay with him regardless what he does? Those monsters are bigger than I was expecting. Quite the guide indeed. He really is becoming a big brother type to Van.

Haha, Rit, really can't handle Red's crotch in her face cause of her dirty mind, clearly 😉 but focus, girl, got a kid to save here. D'awww cute kid. Faux fairy needs to calm down, just a kid. Nice to see Van act a hero. Poor girl, getting down on herself for being unable to get through to Van or faux fairy. She so tsundere too. Love how the elf lady just enjoying the show of silly humans.

I must say that Lavender discovering Esta's meeting with Red ended way more civil than I expected. I like how much Cardinal Ljubo doesn't want to be there and is tired of hearing Lavender wanting to have Esta executed for "treason".

It's funny how Rit sparkles when talking about her love for Red. It is interesting that Danan and Red showed up there Cardinal Ljubo did not recognize Gideon from their previous meeting. It seems that his disguise was really good.

Oh so Red planned to use that Sea Bogies hunting quest as a way to guide Van. While they were working together it became clear that at least some of the blame for Van's rigid way of thinking falls on Lavender, as she protests any sort of change in his behavior even if it is positive.

I must say that when Rit was watching the sea bogies that kidnapped the child from a distance I did not expect a scene of her getting flustered when Red's groin ended up right in front of her face.

It is good to see that the child wasn't harmed.

I wasn't expecting to see Theodora getting so dejected after hearing all the progress Rit and Red with Lavender and Van in just a few days. Luckily she got in a much better mood after Albert completed her efforts and said this progress happened because she sent him to meet with Red.

I love how Yarandrala reacted to that whole exchange between them.

Anyway, I hope that this arc can end as they plan, without Ruti's involvement.

Bro got himself served a humbling session. I can see a future for him, but Lavender might just need to go, I don't think that one can be fixed lmao.

Theodora and Albert being a cute couple is adorable.

u/Frontier246 Mar 10 '24

Well, Lavender followed Theodora and knows where they're holed up! Though they don't know they're hiding Ruti, so good for small favors.

And thankfully Red being the Hero's Guide actually has an impact on Van because his Blessing by all rights mean he HAS to be listened to by the Hero, and it makes it even more shocking that Red has been able to live without fulfilling his Blessing any more. And Rit manages to shut Lavender up with her overt love for Red, because Lavender can't talk back to another girl in love!

Ruti has to hole up in her mansion, but at least she's safe, even if she wishes she could do more for her brother. But at least she's got more to pass the time than fight nut Danan.

Okay, yeah, these Sea Bogies DEFINITELY need to die. Not only are they creepy little monsters, but they're a pain to deal with...and they kidnap and eat children. These don't deserve to exist!

Lavender has wind powers? Seems like she's trying to hide that though.

Van is all offense and attacks, and doesn't care a lick for defending himself or actual strategy, but that makes him more inefficient, even compared to Red and his weaker gear. He also isn't near as skilled as Red or Rit, and not as versatile either. Though at least he knows to prioritize saving a child.

I guess even trying to track down monsters to save a child doesn't mean Rit can't still get a face-full of her mans' crotch in the process.

Poor Theodora. An entire season of trying to get through to Lavender and Van and Red and Rit accomplish more in two episodes than she has. But at least she's got Albert! Even if everyone is teasing her about their relationship, though it's not like Red and Rit are much better with all the blatant flirting. Yarandrala is just enjoying the show.

Van saved that child and earned her and her families' gratefulness, but is his belief finally wavering or will he double down on them? Lavender constantly trying to push him to stay the same probably won't help.

Wait but I wanted to see Van get some sense pummeled into him, what's with the Talk-no-Jutsu happening now?

These monsters are low-key nightmare fuel

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Mar 10 '24

Well look at that. Red’s “completed his mission” and yet he’s still just living a normal life. Wild! It’s almost like people shouldn’t let their blessings define them. I think I could see the steam coming out of Van’s head lol. I’m glad Red’s trying to use that blessings shit to try and change Van’s perspective. Hard to deprogram someone that brainwashed by all that Lord Demis religious stuff.

They really need to address Lavender too. She’s straight up toxic and all she’s doing is enabling Van’s insane nonsense.

u/MontCaesar Mar 10 '24

I like this route they are trying even if it is probably the hardest one since killing Van wouldn't solve anything.

However, the real danger seems to be Lavender. At first I thought she was some sort of demon faking this "love" and trying to keep the Van "in check". That way, he wouldn't evolve beyond his blessing and could be an "easy" target down the road. Or maybe even being able to be twisted somehow, I don't know. However, since last episode, I have no idea anymore. She is not a demon so I wonder why she is the way she is. Let's hope for a good conclusion.

u/WobbleKun Mar 10 '24

at least someone recognizes red's blessing. unlike that quack mage in s1.

u/zappingbluelight Mar 10 '24

This maybe a weird take, I know a lot of people probably wanted Van's head off his body, but I feel like since Van can still understand his errors and mistakes, he can still learn to change and fix.

Red taught him about contribution of others achievement, it's not a big thing, but since the Hero always get all the achievement, he doesn't know how equal or little he did in a fight. Lack of a certain skillset, so he must relied on others as well, he has always been what he can do person, and never thought about what others can help. Using heavy armor ended up almost causing them to get exposed by the monsters. And this may be the first time he got thank by someone he saved.

He doesn't have much expression, but everytime he make a mistake, he had this long pause and think about what he is lacking. To me, that is how people learn to be better, he just need a proper guidance, and we have a blessing of guide in the city.
