Episode 12

-----------------------------------------






Well that was interesting...

.. but some bits don't make all that much sense, as hilarious as it was to watch.



1) Monk following Bitch Sword because he wanted to.

--It's not that pretty a sword, nor great a personality. If he wasn't charmed under sorcery, it makes no sense for someone who's turned down everything else the world has to offer to follow a bitchy, unflattering girl. He's not even actually into swords.

--The charm of the sword was supposed to be its promise of power while wielding it, as well as the euphoric high you get while sucking people's blood. If he's neither charmed by the prospect of power, nor cares about withdrawals from the high, then there's really nothing to like about the sword. Weird.



2) Music dude and his total lack of skills with puppets.

--just either use them to bum-rush the glasses-dude because they're going to die otherwise anyway, or.
--just get them to run the fuck away, while you attack glasses-fellow. It's hard for that guy to use runaway puppets while dodging at the same time.



3) I hope we get the full scope of the MC's backstory sometime. The whole idea behind him adopting an inefficient, chi-channelling-through-blunt-wood sword style was so he wouldn't accidentally kill an enemy (because he's a self-admitted oaf who do that). Someone who isn't confident enough in their brain or motor control shouldn't have the confidence to not get other people killed, nor does it really make sense for them to be a tactician at leading battles. (I understood "leadership skills" to describe the intellectual faculty to lead + the confidence to lead, rather than just charisma).



4) MC picked up the trailing white-hair-fellow while Music guy didn't? Music guy's the dude who is supposed to hear people without seeing them, and be able to detect bad intent from their breathing alone. I'd say white-hair-dude is pretty pissed off and annoyed right now, which would make him a dead giveaway.



5) Back to "I'll prove that I'm the most worthy for you" Monk. The whole point of him committing a lovers' suicide (lol) was because he didn't want anyone else stronger to take her. Sure, it's he originally meant it to mean if he was either sick or old, but that doesn't change the fact that the sword will get passed on to whoever is stronger in a given moment in time. Now he's baited into seeking a possible contender? I don't know how this guy thinks.
