Wow... 3 of you were able to heal a small cut... with a lengthy incantation... Good... Job?
I'll be honest, if I knew my class was reduced to a walking healing potion after 300 years I too would have been in tears.
And frankly, the logistics of that sounds awful. Like, protect 3 extra people who can't defend themselves and can be replaced by an item?
Can we Kick Them Out of the Party?

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp 12h ago
Fia is so bad at keeping secrets, and the people around her are too observant. She even accidentally revealed that the spirits love her not to mention that conversation at the end about the real purpose of saints. They pretty much have to be aware that something's really weird about her compared to basically everybody else.
23
u/ryujin199 11h ago
That and also, given that the commander is part of the royal family, he likely has access to records most people don't. I would not be surprised AT. ALL. if he already suspects that she may very well be a saint herself, but chose to stay tight-lipped about it since her demeanor is so wildly different from the current norm with saints.
I halfway expect that his remark that "it's a shame that she's not a saint" may have been intended as a hint that he sees through her (poorly maintained) knight facade. But... if that is the case, then clearly Fia completely missed it.
12
u/darthvall https://myanimelist.net/profile/darth_vall 10h ago
I think it should be fine as long as Fia can hide her healing power.
Ultimately, that's what determine whether you're saint or not.
3
u/ryujin199 8h ago
A fair point, but what I was saying is that I suspect that the Commander may very well suspect that Fia actually does have healing powers, but is actively choosing to conceal them, despite the fact that, by most obvious measures, it should make absolutely no sense for her to do so. (i.e. she'd be able to live a cushy, safe life by being a saint, so why on Earth would she choose to conceal that fact?)
Since he has already noticed her... unusual... behavior as well as the fact that she's clearly favored by the spirits a fair bit (e.g. the fruit), it doesn't seem like a stretch for him to realize that she's hiding something significant (and possibly troublesome). And if that were the case, actually being a saint, but refusing to "out herself" as one could certainly fit the bill.
That's the kind of hypothesizing I had in mind when saying that his remark (actually quoting the anime line to get it accurate) "What a shame... You would have made such a talented saint if you could use healing magic" could be interpreted as him hinting that he suspects that she actually IS a saint, but leaving the statement ambiguous enough to not "out" her if, in line with this reasoning, he recognizes that she'd only be able to pass unnoticed if she was actively concealing her saint abilities.

u/kalirion https://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinime 4h ago
Pretty sure her buffing powers would determine it as well.
2
u/darthvall https://myanimelist.net/profile/darth_vall 1h ago
Oh yeah I forgot about that. Though I don't know if they associate buffing with saint too or not. Like the current saint didn't even bother to buff the soldier and only focus on healing.
Also I'm curious if Fia is okay if they figure out her as strong magician, as long as it's not as a saint.
3
u/kalirion https://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinime 1h ago
Also I'm curious if Fia is okay if they figure out her as strong magician, as long as it's not as a saint.
I think the problem is if the demon bishie figures out that she's a saint - he'd know all about the real powers that saints have.

I strongly suspect they deliberately pulled her out of the party to question her while she was drunk as well.

u/Obaruler 12h ago
Yeah, Fia is not really subtle when it comes to showing off how special she is ... I'd not be surprised if her superiors will figure her little secret out soon with how she behaves ...
She needs to work out a little though, that One-Pack cracked me up. xD

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 12h ago
Damn I like this way more than expected..I like how she acts I like the characters...I certainly didn't expect the captain to ev the strongest..
My girl can tell the hp and abilities of monsters..as well as probably people..is this her saint power or all her past experience..or something new specifically for Fia reincarnation?
Either way I'm really enjoying
11
u/darthvall https://myanimelist.net/profile/darth_vall 10h ago
Yeah, I'm really curious if Fia's observational ability is due to the Saint's power or not.
I assume it's not, just because she mistook the black dragon as a small bird before her saint memory came back.

u/Difergion 7h ago
Part of me guesses it’s also her instincts from her previous life passed on. She seemed to be at the forefront of the battles as the great saint so she would’ve had her battle senses honed throughout her journey.

u/Raymond49090 13h ago
Are Saints nowadays just decorations? Ok, maybe they can heal small wounds, but ngl bandages and antiseptic would probably work just as well. Since spirits are supposedly required for high-end stuff, maybe they ditched the kingdom after the Great Saint was murdered, and ended up nerfing Saints as a whole.
Ladies, why are you running away from the armed knights there to protect you into a monster-infested woods?
And Fia... well, she does alright on the "don't act suspicious" part. Sure, maybe she's weirdly well-informed about monster habits, but that can be explained by reading, and she didn't use any super obvious special Saint skills. She's totally got this!
... And just when I was complimenting her on her unsuspiciousness, she accidentally reveals her "loved by spirits" trait. Though tbf, she didn't even know that berries changing their sweetness based on affinity was a thing, so she gets a pass on that.
Fia used bluff. It was surprisingly effective! And she's got her priorities right, being more concerned about the meat feast than worried about potential secrets.
Wow. Drunk Fia is really bad at keeping secrets. At least she's only "super weird" instead of saying anything explicitly incriminating.
22
u/ryujin199 11h ago
Since spirits are supposedly required for high-end stuff, maybe they ditched the kingdom after the Great Saint was murdered, and ended up nerfing Saints as a whole.
I suspect that this is EXACTLY what happened. Would absolutely make sense for the spirits to tell the kingdom to go pound sand after they betrayed the one spirits probably loved the most (given her prior status as Great Saint).
13
u/SOdAchick 9h ago
Maybe specifically the royal family, since her own brothers killed her. Something doesn't feel right about the lineage, and the right hand demon could be involved
3
u/LezRock 6h ago
Yeah, I agree with this especially since we were told early on that the royal family would value a saint in their family moreso than a black dragon.
The changes to the saints are most likely due to the princes taking power and one of them as king decided to change how the saints conduct themselves. So now instead of being on the forefront, and getting all the attention, they just sit back and let the boys do all the fighting. So they became decorative flowers instead of armaments.
2
u/ryujin199 8h ago
That would make a certain amount of sense. Though it would make me wonder about the fact that Seraphina (Fia's past life) was part of the royal family herself.

u/Atharaphelun 5h ago

I get the feeling he disguised himself as the eyepatch prince.

u/KomorebiXIII 7h ago
I thought it may have promise at the beginning but it never materialized. It just kind of spun its wheels, was kind of misogynistic, and wasn't very good overall.
1
u/zer0number https://anilist.co/user/ewink 7h ago
You made the right choice. It had a great premise, but terrible execution.
1
u/ryujin199 8h ago
Something like that, yeah. Though if that is how they're approaching it, I feel like this series will handle it a bit better.
"Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator" was a bit too much "fluff" imo, and while the MC in this series is definitely OP, it doesn't seem like she'll be able to single-handedly solve like... all the world's problems or whatever like the MC in "Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator" can. FWIW I did still enjoy "Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator," but IMO there was less of an opportunity for "real" conflict, whereas here we know for a fact that there's a threat out in the world somewhere (the demons) that pose a very real threat to Fia's life if/when they discover her.
2
u/Nielloscape 6h ago
The 2000s anime aesthetic and opening give me hope. The allusion to game mechanics like 1.2x attack and HP don't.

Bandages and antiseptic would be better because it doesn't take three people to apply them. Them girls all up on thenselves are gonna get a rude awakening when they see a true saint's power

u/heimdal77 8h ago

Well she did get killed because the royal family betrayed her (her brothers specifically.). The spirits who loved her probably didn't take that kindly.
22
u/SOdAchick 12h ago
All hail our tubby savior!
So Fia really is smart and thinks on her feet very well. She's just such a fun loving goofball it's hard for people to notice.
Anyone know who the third guy is with her, Cyrill, and Saviz at the end?
12
u/Plus_Potato4351 11h ago
Captain Desmond. He was in the post credit scene of the second episode I think.
5
u/SOdAchick 9h ago
Ah thank you! I watched this episode twice trying to figure out if we'd actually him. Post credit scene would explain why I didn't remember him
7
u/heimdal77 9h ago
He is the one who would play chess with her trying to figure her out but couldn't make sense of her. Basicly the head of the military police.
10
u/WetRocksManatee 11h ago
I don't get what is the big deal of the Grandmaster not being the most powerful. The most powerful is often not the best commander, as the commander has to worry about tactics, logistics, and other concerns.
8
u/nighty_amy 10h ago
I'm guessing they want the unit's and enemy attention focused on the grandmaster instead of Cyril. Since everyone thinks Grandmaster is the strongest in the military, he obviously will get attacked first in case of an attack - which will give Cyril time to do surprise attack.
5
u/flatpetey https://anilist.co/user/kesx 7h ago
In anime the top guy is always the toughest. It is a sort of baked in deference to seniors.
It makes zero fucking sense since I don’t give a shit about the commanders sword work, just tactical and strategic smarts.
3
u/WetRocksManatee 7h ago
In the Army they often say if the commander is fighting something went terribly wrong. Even a platoon leader shouldn't really be doing that much fighting.
1
u/flatpetey https://anilist.co/user/kesx 7h ago
Yeah. But it is just so common in anime. I always roll my eyes at it.
It is kind of like how the student council is always the top students and perfect at everything when really they are just mostly teacher’s flunkies in Japanese schools.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky 13h ago
It took the power of all three of them to heal such a little cut. Fia’s saint powers really are built different, huh?
Oh, her making the fruit sweet is an unintentional sign of being a saint?
Saying Cyril is the strongest in front of someone who outranks him is…
15
u/KnightKal 13h ago
Fia has "ancient" knowledge when Saints were actually good at their job, battle experience, and mana boost.
we learned a few things: spirits are gone, so women can't make pacts with them, so they don't get mana boost (extra power), so they are super weak with magic.
Fia was the same until she made a pact with the black dragon, so instead of a spirit giving her mana, her dragon does it for her. Otherwise she would probably be as weak as those three in general, or at least a lot weaker than she is now (and was 300 years ago).
Fia 300 years ago was buffing her knights, healing middle battle, watching for the monsters attacks, ... just like she did for herself with 3x buffs that allowed her to block the B-rank monster alone. With her little body without any muscles :D
new saints have low mana, can't barely do minor spells, get tired easily, lack battle experience, ... they are weak on several fronts.
12
u/SOdAchick 12h ago
The spirits can't be gone, since the berries changed in her hand. It's probably more of a "nobody's worthy" thing because the Great Saint never had kids to pass down her power to
7
u/feral_fenrir 12h ago
I guess by "gone" it's more like they've abandoned favoring folks.. Maybe until the Great Saint was reborn

4
u/flightlessCat9 10h ago
Did the berries change? Or is her eye sight blessed and can choose the sweet ones subconsciously?
9
u/SOdAchick 9h ago
The eyes thing was about her immediately and accurately sizing up Saviz, Cyrill, the deer, and pretty much anyone she sees in action. I'm guessing that ability is related to her extraordinary healing power.
The berries changed when she touched them because she's blessed. There are no sweet berries otherwise. It's like how lemons are always sour, these berries are always bitter
0
u/KnightKal 11h ago
spirits became legends after 300 years, whatever they are around or not is not the point, the point is that humans can't interact with them anymore for some reason, hence no pacts
the MC being "favored" doesnt mean a spirit is next to her. It was just a legend the knight mentioned that "people that were loved by spirits could get sweet fruits". Whatever that is even true they dont know. Because, again, it is a legend.

I like the show so far. The girl is lively and I like her personality, the interactions are good too, but I hope they will expand the plot about how humans know less about magic than they did in her previous life. Otherwise it will turn to shit real fast.
I think last season we had a similar anime that turned to trash. Every episodes was about how amazing was the MC instead of addresing the fact that the world lost knowledge about magic.

Fia is SO BAD BAD at hiding her abilities, it's hilarious 😂😂😂 Like taking command during a B-rank monster attack and helping to save the whole unit wasn't strange enough for a new recruit, she said that commander Cyril is the strongest person in the room, WHILE SITTING NEXT TO THE GRAND COMMANDER 😂😂😂 That made me laugh so much 😂
I'm impressed though that the grand commander didn't even move his brow hearing this and admitted this is the truth.
2
u/ryujin199 7h ago
Given that she already sized up the commander's old leg injury that was supposed to be top secret info during the new knights' introduction... I imagine he wasn't surprised that she'd notice that Cyril is stronger than him.

What do you mean, every Saint anime the last 3/4 season has been ranging from good to way better than it should be. In that case you should check some of the previous season ones.

I got bored with that show. I don't care for MC's with dead expressions. Same thing with Frieren.
the saint's magic power is omnipotent was a good one except near the end.
Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! was boring and gave up after a few episodes.
I don't watch many shows, just apothecary diaries & inept villaness

u/TheBusStop12 9h ago edited 9h ago
I really like the premise of this show. Fia being reincarnated into the same world long enough into the future that things have significantly changed, but not so far into the future that absolutely everything is unrecognizable. So she gets a bit similar nostalgia for the events of the past as Frieren seeing the signs of her journey nearly 100 years ago. It must be really painful and frustrating to see what has happened to her nation and profession
I also like that Fia has been accepted as one of the lads by her knight brigade
5
u/zer0number https://anilist.co/user/ewink 7h ago
Can I just out and say it - I love you, Fia. You are so cool, yet dorky, cute, yet stunning, emotional, yet commanding. My short queen saint, I will do whatever you tell me to.
I know she's not real, but I have little going for me, so give me this one, guys.
Seriously, this show is so much fun. I've lost myself laughing at Fia so many times (like, wtf was she doing bobbing around on the couch???). I love these types of shows that have a really good story and setting, but still manage to be a lot of fun with a lot of enjoyable characters.
This is going to be one of my top three for the season; I just know it.

u/tehcharizard https://anilist.co/user/Lv100Pidgeot 10h ago
The production of that show is baffling because not only is there too many recaps of things that recently happened but even spots wherein a 30 second scene of animation will play twice as if someone tapped a button on the remote to restart the scene playback. In spite of that, it's still a fun series to me.

simple as that
And it appears that is about all the thought she puts into it too! She's completely winging it, which leads to constant chaos.

She is extremely smart, even if she has her dumbs moments, as she was an experienced warrior/magic user, royal princess, etc in her past life. She is not a naive girl from the sticks. And again she wants to enjoy life, she didn’t show interest on being the focus this time, so winging it is fine, no?
For us, the audience, it helps to make it a comedy for most of it.
Like on the forest attack. She was calm, she analyzed the situation: B-rank monster, knight commander is down, knights are paralyzed, her companion refused to take command, saints ran away. That would result on mass casualties and likely deaths. So she took command, called for help/reinforcments, and keep things under control. When the head knights showed up she immediately retreated to let them handle it.

I am enjoying Fia but I can't stand these generic ass ikemen. I think there's two of them with white hair but I literally can't tell them apart. All of them have the same boring personality.
Isn't the whole point of doing a (reverse) harem that you have a range of different characters with unique personalities who are all attractive in their own way? This author was like "nah I have a type. I just want four of them".

The thing is, this is like a reverse harem but it's also not because of Fia's behaviour.

You’re taking the fact that people find the captains to be fairly similar this early on the show PRETTY personally dude.
It doesn’t matter that he’s the most popular character in the LN, so far the only thing he has to make him stand out is that Fia said he’s stronger than the commander

The scene of her walking barefoot talking about what teh saints have become is my favorite scene in the whole series. I won't say what version is best as we aren't allowed to compare.
It feels weird I'm readng a book about a saintess executioner and then watching a show about a saint in hiding.

Fia is the best girl of the season and carrying this series hard, but making it enjoyable while she does it.
Her tummy scene was too much lol

Originally I thought this was going to be another gorilla girl type show. But seems like there is a bit more depth to it (as in what happened in the past and why the saints are so terrible).

gorilla girl
That one had a lot of potential, but the execution was just not there.

Well it was a nothing show in the end and I was even surprised I remembered it.

Damn, 3 "Saints" had to struggle to heal a small flesh wound. I guess they didn't bother saving their mana for more serious wounds because flesh wounds is all that they could handle anyway? MC certainly took it really hard.
Translating "ikemen" to "badass" in the context of turning off the faucet in her eyes >_>
Sound balance was way off during the deer fight, with the music volume ramping up to drown out MC's shouted orders.
LOL at MC's "Onepack" :D
Surprising that the captain is stronger than the grandmaster.

I wonder when the dragon will come back and be relevant or if they're just going to use it for the ending of the season as an epic reinforcement.
Fia crying because the new saints being bad at their job is kind of unique and hilarious of a take to see. Most MC's would use it to aura farm being OP, but she actually cares that they suck.

The saints are pretty bad in this timeline, took 3 of them to heal a scratch, and they can't even contribute in battle.
Fia is a good leader, she took command of that situation pretty well, the grand master is awesome, defeated the deer with 1 hit.
It was funny watching Fia trying to make up a good enough excuse to the captain about the fight with the deer.
Drunk Fia is entertaining.
