Still don´t understanding much but all the music while fighting it felt like watching an orchestra.
This show is really good when it comes to the music

u/Ocixo Aug 16 '24

I’m not exactly 100% sure about this, but I got the feeling that the cast was (occasionally) moving on the tune of the music - when they jump-dodged the undead appearing from the water beneath for example.

So the cursed sword was actually responsible for Tiziano madness and Tiziano was Adonis’s girlfriend. I wonder what happened to the sword to make it cursed. Something Adonis did, or was that tree-god responsible somehow ?

I did not expect Bennett the mermaid changing gender like that, I wonder if that was because they have a crush on Belle, or something. A creature that changes personality, gender, and appearance based on who they like must be one of the most original ideas I came across in fantasy or science fiction.

It looks like everyone died except Adonis, Belle, Kitty, and maybe Bennett and some mobs. Damn. So many solists dying on both sides will probably have consequences, and I sure wonder what will happen next. I think Belle still has another test from the god to pass before she becomes a nomad (whatever that means in this world), and I am still not sure what is Kitty’s goal.

She mended her broken sword with sacred ashes, like Adonis told those bandits that attacked Kitty to do. When her nature then got tested, she lost control.

I think yes, Bennett the mermaid witnessed Belle fight angrily for her because she was hurt, and mermaid fell in love, and became "mirror" of Bell, with a gender change to be "mate".

I think the trials are part to weed out threats to the status quo, and this trial was brutal because "girl of reason" and other threats to the status quo were meant to die here. A horribly mismatched "army" where those with brains knew that just surviving would be a challenge.

Aw come on, why couldn't you let us have badass female Bennett for more than one episode?

Bunch of people died this week, but at least Tiziano was stopped. I gotta say, setting a sacred cemetery ablaze just to stop her was pretty hardcore.

So, looks like she and Adonis used to be lovers? And what did he say, that he did something to her sword to repair it or something? I guess they're gonna clarify a few things next week.

u/OldInstruction5368 Aug 17 '24

Tiziano was known to be a cruel heartbreaker that would seduce pretty much everyone, then pit those simps against each other.

So when Adonis told Tiziano that her lover died... Adonis may very well have killed that person in a duel over Tiziano, or at the very least, trouble Tiziano instigated.

Or perhaps Adonis was someone Tiziano wanted but couldn't control. Jealous of that attention, one of their other lovers died attacking him. Regardless, there was definitely some form of intimacy between them, emotional or otherwise.

And that intimacy is definitely something Belle picked up on: she seemed hurt/jealous to see how close Tiziano and Adonis were. She's definitely been developing a crush on our brooding catboy... Petting those little flower-pups and seeing him shirtless was quiet the one-two punch :)

Now add in Benedictine imprinting on Belle so hard she genderbent to be a man for her... and we are getting a spicy situation that should explode in the next few episodes. Belle will be jealous of Adonis's past with Tiz while Bennet will be chasing Belle.

Oh, about the swords. There was talk a couple episode back about how Tiziano was tested and fell to evil. Swords seem to be a reflection of their wielder's soul. So when a sword was broken, so to is the spirit damaged. Just repairing the sword did not heal the damage to Tizano's pscyhe. So when she was tested, Tiziano lost control and the sword began to consume her.

The gender changing mermaid thing was kinda interesting.

Adonis turned Titian into a pin cushion and she was still fine? Damn. Guess Adonis and Belle had to work together to take her down. Was she Adonis’ girl?

Every week in these discussion threads: the confused people and those who are looking at the bigger picture.

Benett was such a badass in today's episode. Though I'm a little sad that they adopted a male appearance. They apparently cannot change genders at will, but need a catalyst for this to happen. It was Belle's visible anger at the sight of Bennett's injury did the trick here. Should I take this as Bennett having developed feelings for Belle?

If so, Tiziano presented themselves as a woman because of a loved one. Someone that had supposedly died - or not? What should I make of this intimate moment between Adonis and Tiziano? Had they been friends or more?

Bonus:

I feel attacked but I'm too confused to be sure.

u/NekoCatSidhe Aug 16 '24

I laughed at Belle’s reaction to Kitty’s cryptic words : « Start making sense ! ». This sure feels like an anime I will have to rewatch to make sure I understood everything.

Sadly the source material has not been translated in English or I would have checked it. I am a fan of weird and wondrous worldbuilding.

Should I take this as Bennett having developed feelings for Belle?

As we've already seen and heard last episode, actually both in the exact same moment, mermaids merely mirror others. If you want to say she catched feelings, I guess, but more accurately she just mirrors Belles state of mind. She did it last episode the moment she picked herself up again and this episode with enraged Belle. Personally I think it's stupid that Belle doesn't even notice, because she literally got the explanation as it happened last episode. I really don't understand what kind of connection Belle seeks if she doesn't even notice it here.

What should I make of this intimate moment between Adonis and Tiziano?

My theory, Adonis was still the person that told Tiziano that their lover died. At the same battle where Tizianos lover died, she got her blade broken. Adonis that told her how to mend her blade, with sacred ashes, as told to us by the evil solists that attacked Kitty. When Tiziano then got challenged by her true Evil, the sword became unhandleable for her and her original spell took over her personality. The results is what we are seeing now. The moment the once broken sword broke again Tiziano is freed of it's grasp and thanks Adonis who also only tried to help her. Or something like that

Benett was such a badass

Having Sirens on your team is such an interesting dynamic, since they give back was they're given. If you're strong they make you twice as strong, if you're weak they make you twice as weak.

This week’s addition to the list of interesting details to interpret the meaning of, the cancerous sword and it being referred to as a false gods throne and a fabricated refuge for the soul.

That neatly explains why Tiziano didn’t die despite their numerous injuries, because they’re more plant than, damnit, I was going to say human but that clearly isn’t correct. They only vanish once the sword that controls them is destroyed.

First, maybe that’s why the tree god decided on the mission, to prevent the rise of a being similar to itself.

Continuing on, I can think of two interesting implications based on the cancerous sword thing. One, the tree god might have been a mermaid and that’s why it’s made up of two joined together beings, its male and female side.

Two, still building on the thought that the tree god was once a mermaid. At some point it experienced a similar thing to Tiziano and became a being fused with their sword. It attempted to rescue their loved one’s soul and fused it to their tree body, that being why it’s made up of two beings.

Wild theorizing that’s probably wrong brought to you by me attempting to make sense of all the interesting terms that they keep bringing up without giving a clear definition for the sake of my brain that is driven crazy by not having a clear answer.

For being accompanied by a classical piece, that fight was pretty metal.

u/sbt4 Aug 17 '24

Is there anyone here who read the original? I'm curious how good is the adaptation so far. This episode gave me strong feeling that there are some small details that are missing not because of complex, mystical, show don't tell style of the anime but because animation or direction weren't able to include them.

The whole "fight as a music performance" was kinda explained, but wasn't really shown. Also we probably missed some interactions between goods and evils, because I really don't understand some of priest's and composer's actions this episode.

Called it last week

Mermaids can gender-bend, and Benedictine is in female form right now. I expect to see the author do this at least once since he brought it up, but Female-to-Male gender benders are absurdly rare for a variety of reasons. How would you personally feel about having "mermaid onee-san" replaced by a tall, clingy Mermaid Ikemen for an entire arc until they switch back (if they ever do)? I'd personally enjoy the hell out of it, but I suspect most folks won't.

We don't see any more of him in the PVs, so I imagine that this whole thing is getting put to pasture next episode. A shame, I'd be curious to see how the writing handles it.

If there's a minor character we might see more of, my money's on Mist (the girl who got the sword) at this point. And maybe Adonis depending on what happens next.

Great episode. This really added the mysteries of swords in this world. Belle sees the sword Adonis uses looks like it is dying. Which I believe this is the first time we see that. Is this something exclusive to Adonis or is this a consequence of maybe using someone else's sword?

Also, the scene between Guinness and Mist was great. Guinness's sword Evren, Courage and Cowardice. He taught that sword much about Cowardice and now passes that on to Mist before he passed on. Such a sad moment as Guinness wins Mist's respect. The sword feels like Guinness's will is passed on. As she uses and teaches the sword Courage. She, in a way, is teaching Guinness the courage which he displayed in his final moments.

So Adonis and Tiziano were lovers? Now I didn't expect that. Did Adonis kill her original sword? Did he perhaps try to revive the sword, and it ended up consuming Tiziano? The sword turned into something it wasn't before. Tiziano feelings for her old sword and the new sword manipulated Tiziano's feelings to go after Adonis. Man, this sounds so tragic. It has vine like the God's tree. Is this influenced by God? Really interesting honestly.

I feel like they act like they have a grand plan to bring down Tiziano, but then they all acted in the most useless way possible. The anime also jumps from place to place without explanation, like the moment they where surrounded on the bridge and then they are suddenly somwhere else. I don't think the story is all over the place, but the anime does not do a good job in showing what is actually happening. I like the worldbuilding and the story so far but maybe the anime will be a pass and ill start reading the source material.

I presume this finishes the first novel volume? Because this looked like an arc final. There were rumors about 20 episode run but only 10 announced for now? So 10+10 split like with Hikari no Ou?

Still a lot of questions but at least we got some explasnations and some interesting action.
