The Legend of the Legendary Heroes

[Buffalobiian]

Kiefer was easily brainwashed, haha! I guess she was enjoying prison food and the scarce nutrients went to the upkeep of her boobs, not brain.

Ah, so that's what confused me. I was assuming all of what Gastark's King said was true, along with everything else this episode. (or they still are, and I just yet to comprehend it all). He was pretty dead on about Sion killing Ryner though.

Just off the top of my head, there are:

1. Eye powers are given sometimes to decendents of heroes.
2. That thing in Ryner's subconscious is called Alpha.
3. There's a Solver of All Equations.
4. There's a Weaver of All Equations.
5. The Black Fallen Hero is likely one of the above two.

Did you notice similarity between 'father' or something that was shown few eps back and the one who stabbed Ryner?

I thought that was the whole point of the flashback - the two that appeared were Ryner's mum and dad.

[RyougaZell]

Dunno... either Gastark's King is really a great manipulator or he is indeed the only good guy on that rotten country. Either way... it works on Kiefer's benefit to be released by going to Ryner. She can turn her back against Gastark along the way as well.

I really want a harem ending with Ferris, Milk and Kiefer now.

From a tactical point of view, keeping Kiefer imprisoned doesn't much help Gastark - or it even works against them since if the king is indeed in love with Kiefer, it would bother him to no end to keep his love rotting in a prison. By releasing her with the knowledge she now has (whether it's all or partially true doesn't matter, as long as Kiefer believed it) there is a slight chance she might cause a disturbance in Roland, which would directly work for Gastark.

Considering how the king was playing with those eye crystals I don't think he's any overly good guy. He's surely doing anything for his country and countrymen, all the way to sacrificing himself, but that doesn't automatically make him a good guy. I'm inclined to think this series has very few good guys as such. Suits me fine because it underlines the fact the more power you have, the harder the decisions you have to make, the heavier the burden you have to carry.

I thought it was somewhat funny how he told her to hurry to Roland but didn't give her a horse so she have to run the whole way.

Though didn't get the whole thing with Sion.

The preview makes it look like next week's episode will be the last one but this is slated for 24 episodes right?

25......

Yeah it's virtually impossible for this series not to go into a second season.

You realize the DVD/BD sales were disastrous right? Second seasons don't get approved on hopes and dreams alone.

I meant that as an expression to say that if this story wants to be concluded successfully it needs a second season. On that note, someone needs to send the producers of this show a large donation to continue the series, it is definitely one of my favorites this year.

[Kraco]

They aren't even trying anymore to make the last few eps count. This was so random you'd think it was based on some end of the volume omake. If not for the last minutes.

No matter how much the adventure and fantasy fan inside me likes the vague notion of what this show could have been, I can't really be satisfied with what it turned out to be in reality. Quite a disappointment all in all.

I thought this was one of those "dream of an ideal world that I must wake up from" type of episodes, but the ending proved that everything was, in fact, real. (Including Ferris's indirect confession of love and all).

How the hell did we go from the previous episode's abduction by Ryner's dad, the mysterious JE(?) imprinted on his chest, to this? (Froade organising a birthday party?)

I am simply, utterly confused. And not in a good way.

PS: Gastark and Kiefer didn't even make it into this episode.

[Shadow Skill]

Don't forget less time was spent on the legendary relics and alpha stigma. It's like they decided at episode 3 "OK lets make this a romance instead of an action anime". :P

[Buffalobiian]

Does ANYONE understand this?

[RyougaZell]

Ryner is a Satan of Loneliness, that is why his Geass... errr... Alpha Stigma can be stopped from going berserk.

Ferris' brother made Sion into the Dark Hero... who needed to 'eat' the Satan to be powerful.

Sion couldn't kill him... but then took his human experiments to war, leaving the series unfinished.


What's so difficult to understand?

[Buffalobiian]

Ryner is a Satan of Loneliness, that is why his Geass... errr... Alpha Stigma can be stopped from going berserk.

I get the legend stuff. Just the whole "party" thing and the "wake up after four hours sleep" sequence in episode 24. Continuity seems to be off - along with how they just completely dropped the "E" sign on his chest, and the significance of his dad stabbing him.

Ferris' brother made Sion into the Dark Hero... who needed to 'eat' the Satan to be powerful.

Lucile is apparently the Weaver of all Equations (but shouldn't that exist in the Dark Hero then?).

As for eating Ryner.. was that the reason why Sion wanted to kill him? I never quite understood how killing Ryner was going to save him from walking through eternal darkness, unless it's like "kill him or eat him".

[shinta|hikari]

It's kill him (he just dies) or eat him (he suffers eternally).

[Buffalobiian]

It's kill him (he just dies) or eat him (he suffers eternally).

Cool.

Then, the two Sions debating with each other about killing Ryner were actually trying to save him? I don't think I'll get this straight without rewatching.

[shinta|hikari]

The Sion that tried to kill Ryner wanted to save him. The Sion that was arguing with that one wants to eat Ryner.
