At least his personal aim is to stop being a skeleton, to get some muscle and skin on top of the bones.
WHERE DOES THE FOOD GO
Peace.
Episode 9
- - - --
Considering Sekt is a cautious schemer, I'd say Cetrion would be smart if he gathered all of his profits and made himself scarce. He's probably the only person who knows Sekt is behind the murders (or a murder and an attempted one) of the two other royals. A man with such knowledge ought to be a worrisome detail in the eyes of the remaining prince. Especially after Sekt is sure he will inherit the throne. That moment might not be far away, as long as nobody knows the princess is still alive. In fact, once people learn the princess still lives, Cetrion could also become a weakness for Sekt's position. If the princess gains great fame from the negotiations with the elves, she might become a new favourite. If at that point Cetrion revealed what he knows about Sekt, the prince could see his chances to grasp the crown wither away.
I mean, didn't Cetrion know that the princess is alive and relayed that info to Sekt? Neither of them cared as long as the dumb brother took the fall.
I hope we get actually powerful people facing off against the OP protag team. I'm okay with Arc being OP because duh, but the others need to have challenges and maybe even be directly saved by Arc's OPness.
Peace.
I rewatched that scene and you are correct. Cetrion specifically used the word "ihin", which means property left behind by a dead person, so they really did think the princess is dead. I now remember they actually did kill the princess, Arc just rezzed her.
Peace.
Ep 10
------------------
So Arianne's sister married that Lord.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Arc's strength is pretty random. He clashes swords with elves, wrestles with a buff ninja, but then lifts and slams a 30 meter sandworm... These are not feats in the same magnitude.
Peace.
Does she have more sisters than one? The sister we saw a few eps away is a combat addict who wouldn't have been captured as a slave in the first place. Plus she looks different. Isn't this one just some random elf?
I reckon from now on Arc will drink his booze alone, or only share with Ponta.
I assumed that the picture were were shown was not of the real couple. I have nothing to back that assumption up other than "this is anime and I'm going to think that everything is connected"
I agree that Arc's strength seems inconsistent. I assumed that he didn't even land a single hit on Ara Ara though, since he couldn't even do it with his flash step.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
But they clashed wooden swords several times. Even a fraction of the strength he needed to lift a 30 meter worm would've destroyed both swords or at least launched elf mom away. I will just assume he ALWAYS holds back his strength, even when goofing off with ninja dude, which would explain why even drunkard elf was also shocked by him slamming the worm.
I mean, he didn't even seem like he was truly struggling with the worm. He just said it was fairly strong, then just decided to lift and slam it.
Peace.
Just caught up. Ninjas were pretty plain (surprised they didn't recruit ninja girl into harem), and the sandworm side arc was interesting because I kept expecting the script to flip and have the elf/human community be one big sham and them to get betrayed or set up with poison or the like. Maybe this show has conditioned me to expect the worst from 'people'. Since it didn't, Elf girl's refusal to accept elves and humans getting along hit a little harder, like a personal growth moment.
Oh you mean Ariane. Yeah, they clashed swords a few times when they first met.
Arc never hit anything during his fight against Glenys.
As for the sister, it was mentioned that she'd get married next year, while that Lord married his own elf just now. It's still possible that they crossed into a new year while adventuring, but now I'm much less sure about the sister being married to a human.

Episode 11

You can tell Arc is still treating this all as a game. "Normally" (nothing normal about it in RL) you'd take out the monster tamer immediately if you could (Arc certainly could), not just fight the monsters one by one and then even allowing the tamer to walk away. Just like you'd do with a summoner. However, since Arc considers the world still a game, he does things in the proper order, like most gamers would, especially during the first playthrough, lest you might miss a cutscene, a boss fight, or whatnot.
He better not let that guy find out he's a skeleton!
Presumably because "skeleton" is likely a type of monster to be tamed?
