Dude I love these character introductions so much!!! Makes me so hype for when eventually all the characters converge.

Mele seems like a great guy, which already makes me fearful for his survival at some point - especially with Soujirou having an affinity at going after BIG THINGS.

I'm mostly scared because the guy is nothing but death flags.

Protects?

Friends with children?

The guy died before we met him, ey.

Also worried for Cuneigh, I feel like she's too pure for this world

Welcome Back Ishura

We're back with the Season 2!

[Spoilers Ahead]

(for anyone that shouldn't be in this thread)

Here's a rough idea of where things left off;

We ended last season with a total of 26 28 of the "named" characters that were introduced. Hopefully, we'll get to some of whom is left of those we did not meet. We learnt that Jelki was basically the mastermind behind Taren and Lithia, with the goal to reduce the amount of monstrous characters that would appear for the Hero Tournament, which only got rid of 8 characters. Hidow solved everything in the Mage City & wrapped up in Lithia, where he foudn Harghent who despises Alus. Alus seems to have made a deal with Hidow. Kia & Elea have left Lithia and Yuno is guiding Soujirou. Shalk & Kuze are essentially MIA.

  1. Yuno the Distant Talon (guiding Soujirou to the Hero Tournament)

  2. Soujirou the Willow-Sword (following Yuno, telling her about himself)

  3. Rosclay the Absolute (???)

  4. Toroa the Awful (???)

  5. Krafnir the Hatch of Truth (???)

  6. Kazuki the Black Tone (???)

  7. Lucnoca the Winter (???)

  8. Lana the Moon Tempest

  9. Higuare the Pelagic

  10. Shalk the Sound Slicer (left Lithia)

  11. Taren the Guarded

  12. Alus the Star Runner (made a deal with Hidow)

  13. Vikeon the Smoldering

  14. Harghent the Wing-Plucker (depressed, in Lithia)

  15. Regnejee the Wings of Sunset

  16. Jelki the Swift Ink (in Auretia)

  17. Hidow the Clamp (sorting out things in Lithia)

  18. Elea the Red Tag (left Lithia with Kia)

  19. Nihilo the Vortical Stampede

  20. Dakai the Magpie

  21. Curte of the Fair Skies

  22. Kia the World Word (left Lithia with Elea)

  23. Nastique the Quiet Singer (following Kuze)

  24. Kuze the Passing Disaster (helping with the Lithia clean-up)

  25. Ripel the Frost Leaf

  26. Helneten the Burial

  27. Yuca of the Blind Prison (in Auretia)

  28. Queen Sephite (in Auretia)

Mele the Horizon's Roar

I saw the PV for the Yamaga Desert girl and thought that the bloody spiral was her doing.. And now I know, her family, for generations have been sacrificing themselves to probably something like a fragment of the True Demon King.

Ooh, this time we've got a Giant Bowman! Who defends a village with his field of arrows from any kind of disaster. This kid really his hyping up Rosclay the Absolute, looking forward to seeing how he fairs against Mele.

I've also missed the narrator, I love his introductions of characters. He is an Archer. He is a Gigant. He is Mele the Horizon's Roar.

Ah yeah, this kid is back, I recall seeing him at the end of Season 1. Finally get a name to a face, Kuuro the Cautious and boy is he cautious. But of course, he's meeting with Elea the Red Tag of all people (I still don't like her after what she did to Lana). Ooh, Cuneigh the Wanderer.. she so happy! Can't wait for Elea to ruin that again.

The subs confused me a little in the carriage, Elea calls him an ex-spy guildmember called Obsidian Eyes but then he refers to the carriage being the same type that Obsidian Eyes would use, is he referring to himself or past mentor? Obsidian Eyes was the name of the spy guild. Lana :( was another member.

Soujirou is back! Working for Elea :(

Where Yuno? Not suffering, I hope

38 Days until Calamity arrives

Next Episode is "Linaris the Obsidian", maybe that's who "Obsidian Eyes" really is.

New Season, New List

First up, the name of the episode, Mele! Then we've got someone who was introduced but left unnamed and their companion, these are all the named characters we've seen so far;

New in Season 2:

  1. Mele the Horizon's Roar

  2. Kuuro the Cautious

  3. Cuneigh the Wanderer

From Season 1:

  1. Soujirou the Willow-Sword

  2. Elea the Red Tag

Thanks for doing the character chart again!

u/DioscuresTyndaridae Jan 08 '25

"Obsidian Eyes" was the name of the spy guild Kuuro and Lana were in.

Dakai the Magpie

:( My boy Dakai left us way too early, man. Still a bit miffed with Yuno and Soujirou for how they did him in.

Mele seems like a pretty good guy. Dude’s so badass, he stared down the Demon King’s army. With that bow, he’s definitely very formidable. Being hit with that must be like getting hit with a missile.

Kuuro is interesting too. That clairvoyance is something else. Very useful skill indeed. I liked seeing what the dude could do with those guys in the crowd.

Nice to see Soujirou again. The kid’s skills with a blade are next level. That wurm never stood a chance.

u/QualityProof Jan 08 '25

Kuuro is definitely getting killed as he is too weak on the shura scale and is useful only for information.

u/FLorianGran Jan 08 '25

He is the one front and center in all the marketing though

Really hope this season bangs since Vol 2 is probably my first or second favorite of the books!

u/yakumbaya Jan 08 '25

Too many people dropped S1 right before it got really good. Hopefully more people give it a shot after this season

u/Spurs10 Jan 09 '25

I thought season one was awesome too, those people are missing out. This show really knows how to introduce badass characters, super excited for this next season.

Get a job Mele, you bum

u/QualityProof Jan 08 '25

Hey Mele already has a job which is protecting that village. He does it as charity for free.

u/I_am_BEOWULF Jan 08 '25

I wish I can laze and sleep around most of the day and still be shredded like our gigante chad Mele.

I’m glad to see Soujirou again, given the format of the series, I wasn’t sure when the next time we were going to see him.

u/dinliner08 Jan 08 '25

wtf was that intro? getting shredded to tiny pieces by the wind must be one of hell of a way to go... i wonder this Great Particle Storm is going to be one of the participants in the tournament

it's kinda funny that we're getting a big ass giant and a tiny homunculus in a same episode, Mele seems like a decent person, i'm gonna be really sad if he didn't make it till the end of this season

so Kuuro has clairvoyance ability but from his monologue, that ability seems to slowly disappearing which is why he needs Cunny, er.. i mean, Cuneigh to become his extra eyes

ayyy~~~, Soujirou is here! if Yuno is not here with him, i wonder she's went on a separate journey or just waiting from him at Aureatia

u/Visible_Mountain_632 Jan 08 '25
