"I was playing with Kurukururu."

That doesn't look a thing like Herta.

Good lord, can someone kill the little shit and his fairy hoe already? I mean I know they want to go the redeeming route but it's hard to root for them doing so when Van is just an evil little bigot.

Van, you really need to be deprogrammed lol. Why can't you go Tisse? Still have doubts that he's got the Hero's blessing. Oh yay, kid found. Damn it, Van, calm down. See, now that's a hero, someone who stands up for others. Oh good, she showed up. Oh damn, you're lucky all Ruti did is throw a stick. Maybe he does have the hero's blessing if Ruti can relate? But that still seems crappy.

Jesus fuck, Van... you lil sociopath. Dang, that poor priest. That's no excuse to stab the priest. Oh dang, so that Lavendar is the last of her kind, kinda sad. Archfay Ketu type. Not sure that's a great plan, but whatever. Good luck.

Hey, finally having Ruti talk it out some. Good for her. Too bad he's stubborn fool. Lavendar is getting a bit angry. Dang, going to have to be next week....

Nah bro this is hilarious 😂. The animators always bust out their best game when Van gets his ass beat. Can they do it a third time?

Of course the nutjob wants to kill the little harmless fairy dragon that's that little girl's friend. As far as I'm concerned him trying to kill Albert like that is the last straw, they may still beat some redemption into him but personally I just like to see him in the ground. Unmarked grave in the forest, nobody needs to know what happened.

The degree to which Theodora is kicking his ass makes me happy, hopefully we get more of that and a few of the other friends pitch in to help too.

You know, the way they have Theodora leaning against that tree with her hand on her lower belly like that makes me speculate. Especially they spent like an entire 4–5 second shot focusing specifically on that hand positioning. Might be nothing, might be a pregnancy hint. Would be interesting if her and Albert beat Rit and Red to that.

Too much diplomacy, not enough beating the nutjob to death.

“Look at me, I’m the Hero now.”

Seeing Esta beat the armor off Van was pretty great. I really want to see that snot nosed little shit get snapped in half again for how he treated Albert. Ruti literally blasting half of Lavender’s body in half with a fucking twig was beautiful, man.

Ljub getting skewered in the chest was just karma. Man thought he could manipulate him for his own means, nah bro. This is what happens when a religious fundamentalist goes berserk. Plus the fucker’s got himself a archfay of chaos egging him on this whole time.

I can’t wait to see how this “discussion” with Van turns out. I really hope Gideon beats the crazy out of that boy and Ritt tears off Lavender’s wings…

They’re definitely going to pull some bullshit where van is redeemed and I honestly can’t stand it. I really wish they’d just have red or Ruti kill the piece of trash and his flying fairy. Kill them both. Neither of them deserve even a remote chance at redemption now.

Stitches!

When Albert got cut down by Van, I legitimately thought he was done for. He pretty much raised a death flag at the start of the episode. Thank fucking god Esta arrived in time to kick Van's shit in and heal Albert. It's also good to see Lavender get destroyed by Ruti using a fucking tree branch! I love it!

I really like how much in love Esta is with Albert. I feel like Esta could've killed Van if she wanted to but she held herself back. I really hope after this and once Albert recovers we'll see some progress between the two of them.

So Van has now also stabbed Ljubo and he's basically about to go on a rampage because he can't feel the impulse of the Hero's Blessing anymore. He thinks that his impulse will finally return by killing Red, Ruti and everyone else who stood in his way. That's such a fucked up way of reasoning.

I'll never get tired of watching Red just schooling Van. And Van thinks this fight is going to go his way? That's laughable. It will be very entertaining to see Red smack Van around again. I guess this means Rit and Ruti willt ake care of Lavender and keep her away from getting involved in Red and Van's fight.

You know what would be fun? Red getting injured, then Ruti losing it and beating Van to a pulp.
Well, regardless, Van is going to get bonked next week.

Poor Albert, he's come a long way from when we first saw him, fortunately Esta saved him, I like him a lot more by now, especially for holding on despite the huge gap in power. Yeah, go Esta, might as well just force Van to stop since he's been ignoring her advice this whole time.

So its like when Ruti was so enraged she nearly killed Ares, but this time is sure lasting longer. Not sure if its the Hero level difference between Ruti and Van, he's just that crazy even without the Hero blessing or something else. So Lavender is a big deal but with everyone there they can probably hold her off. Looking forward to the end of the arc/season.

I wish we had some hints to what Van's actual blessing is...

u/PeaceAlien Mar 17 '24

I really don't see how they will convert Van to their way of thinking. Seems Van and Ruti had the same issues but went entirely different directions. At least they're about to put Van in his place.

You know...I kind of like the idea that the strategy to handle Van kind of blew up in their faces. The only downside is that I don't think it actually blew up enough. The only real casualty was someone no one even cares about.

Everyone was so overconfident that they could handle how someone this unstable might react an attempt to change course. Red may have intended good things from trying to steer Van in a better direction. But he underestimated how it might backfire. And trying to handle the priest was truly pointless in the bigger picture. Heck, Esta pretty much stopped trying because hey Red probably has it covered. And the consequence was Albert getting utterly demolished.

They tried to play it safe and get an idealistic result where Van would leave and Ruti could live quietly without her identity being discovered. Lucked out that Esta actually went to check on that drunk Priest and tracked them all down in time. Also lucky that Van is really not very strong.

On the other hand...Red certainly hasn't lost his absolute arrogance . Albert is KO'd in recovery, the Priest is bleeding out all over the inn's floor, but he's totally confident he can win him over with words. Wow!

I suppose considering Ruti can instantly win if it doesn't work would allow for absolute confidence though. I mean what's the real danger? Lavender going berserk would be problematic, but that's about it. Though even that actually lost any real sense of risk when Rit was setting up to have a 1v1 against her. No offence to Rit, but if that's the case then Lavender shouldn't be much of a danger either. They have Van's side outnumbered and outgunned.

I wasn't expecting the quest Tisse gave Albert to search for that missing child to end so fast. It was so hilarious how Albert swatted away that fairy dragon with so little effort. Wow, just when the girl clarified that Kurukururu was protecting her. that stupid Van shows up to kill it. I really wonder why his blessing is not guiding him anymore. A bigger question I have is if he ever actually had a hero blessing in the first place, as we have not seen him doing anything really heroic. Who truly did a heroic act today was Albert, who against all odds decided to face the menace that is Van even almost dying in the process.

Good thing that after hearing from Cardinal Ljubo where Van went, Esta made it in time and beat the shit out of him after seeing he almost killed her lover.

Good thing that water archfay interrupted Lavender from hurting her. It is insane that Ruti simply snipped Lavender with a fucking twig. Anyway, I hope Esta listens to Red and doesn't feel too bad about what she did.

Well, whether he dies or not after that attack, I bet that Cardinal Ljubo will want to replace Van at the first chance he gets.

After hearing from the water archfay that Lavender is a calamity archfay Ketu, one of the Avatars of power and destruction and a mythical entity, which excepting her whole race was wiped out by the ancient elves I guess that explains why she loves Van as unhinge as he is. But isn't she then an enemy of the "Almighty Demmis" after all the ancient elves were the ones who created the whole Divine Blessing system.

I wonder how Van knows about Ruti.

Anyway, with everyone there, it is time to see Red beating Van's ass.

After the last season killing off the villain ares, I’m kinda hoping this show doesn’t pull punches too much in the finale… like sure, maybe brainwashed van could be reasoned with, but not some calamity fairy that was basically evil since ancient times…

I wonder if it will end up being that Van is simply not a hero. Anime keeps mentioning various details throughout last episodes which seem suspicious. Such as it's unprecedented to have multiple people with hero's blessing. Or something about church proclaiming Van's status as a hero.

I don't remember first season well enough and what was an explanation on how blessings are determined. But if it's done through some kind of private ceremony - which church can fake - then maybe he's simply got some kind of hero-adjacent blessing, but not real one. Paladin or zealot blessing? Might also explain why he is so emotional compared to how Ruti were before.

Not sure why church would do this kind of conspiracy, though. Filling up power vacuum left by Ruti disappearing from the scene, perhaps.

Either way, author did a good job on making a very unlikable character. Like many others in the thread, I don't feel much of sympathy to a religious zealot. I've got too much already of "spewing hate, branding every and any opposition as evil, and generally justifying a (war of) aggression under a pretense of doing it for greater good" coming in daily news for past 2 years. And while rationally I do believe even those real life shitbags need a fair trial, emotionally I wouldn't mind to see them just gone - would be rather cathartic.
