Just felt like doing it, since I know some things are confusing/forgotten from season1. And since this season is gonna adapt 2 volumes, instead of just 1 like last season, some things would obvioulsy be omitted, so I'll try to include that here. Not sure if that helps anyone, but here it is. I will edit it with further information, as more episodes come out.
- The story: The True Demon King was defeated by an unknown hero and the main country Auretia is looking for that being, hence why the tournament exists. And even if the real hero doesn't show up/dead, they will select a new hero, whoever wins the tournament. Finding a hero is very important as it will create a ray of hope for people who are still devasted after the True Demon King and unify all minias.
- Auretia: Is a minia-based country, a monarchy. After the war, 3 different kingdoms united to form one Auretia country. And there was only one survivor from a royal family, a young girl, she is the only true ruler.
- Twenty Nine Officials: Civil servants, who are actually in charge of Auretia(queen doesn't really do much). To enter the tournament, one of them has to sponsor you.
- Old kingdom loyalists: appear in season 2. They are part of the past Central Kingdom, and want to restore it's former glory, and not be a part of Auretia, basically want their independence. A threat to Auretia, they have a lot of numbers
- Free city of Okahu: country, founded by the largest mercenary guild, they have a lot of elite soldeirs and have a neutral relationship with Auretia, but Auretia suspects them colluding with Old kingdom loyalists.
- Obsidian eyes: spy guild that Lana(s1) and Kuuro(s2) were from. It used to have a lot more motion. But a lot of members left after the war was over. It basically is just remnants of its former glory. But they are still a threat to Auretia.
- The names: Each character gets a special second name once they come of age. So before that you only have one name. Kia for example, didn't get her second name back when she was in the village
- Minia: human
- WordMake: the one who created everything(God basically)
- Word Arts: the power system in this world. Visitors can't use those. And Word Arts is what allows everyone to communicate. That's why Wyverns and Wyrms can communicate with a minia. Anyone can use some sort of Word Art, most are proficient in just one. Except the main 4(Force Arts - move things. Craft Arts - create things. Thermal Arts - energy/fire/lightning. Life Arts - change properties of things. Like turning water to poison). There is also Demon Arts - that is less known and is used to create constructs like a talking skeleton
- Beyond: previous world of Visitors
- Visitor: someone who got too strong/influential in the Beyond and were kicked out(not clear how this process occurs, but most likely, they one day wake up in another world). Visitors brougth a lot of knowledge into the world(metrics, epidemiology, radio, guns concept) and over half of Self-Proclaimed Demon Kings are visitors. So whenever a visitor shows up, they will likely shake up the world.
- Self-Proclaimed Demon King: Anyone with too much power who can threaten Auretia basically. Most of the time they are monarchs who establish their own country and want to live separately from Auretia. But since Auretia wants to unify all minias, it comes as a threat to them(Like Lithia). Most of the Self-Proclaimed Demon Kings are tyrannical in nature.
- Enchanted Swords: like Visitors also come from another world because they are too powerful to exist there.
- Homunculus: made using a living minian body as a base. Due to how difficult they are to make, there aren't many of them and they don't live long. Cuneugh, the small girl that follows Kuuro for example, is stated to not live longer than 5 years.
- Zumeu minias with a face of a lizard.
Season 2
ep1
- Particle Storm: Weather phenomenon, believed to be an actual God in Yamaga Barrens desert. It wasn't mentioned in the anime, but everything it touches turns into particles, hence the name. As it's the only God that protected them from the True Demon King, while Word Maker didn't protect other places. And the villagers believed that when they die, they go to a world beyond the storm. But as the young girl discovered, they actually get devoured by the storm.
- The young girl in the first episode: She injured her leg, but since no one in her village knows Life Arts, they can't heal her, so she is gonna die. She was gonna get sacrficed to the Particle Storm, but she decided to go there and meet him himself. In the anime, her decision to see it, felt kinda random. She also meets a zumeu and a mysterious person in the carriage (you can briefly see them in the episode). They wrapped her wound in the bandage. They had some business in the village, and the girl told them the way.
- Mele: For the last 150 years, he has leved nearby the village on a hill. It's called a Needle Forest, because of all the iron pillars protruding from the ground. These Iron pillars are in fact his arrows. Village makes 2 for him every year. And Mele considers them his greatest treasures. Every year there is a great storm which causes a great flood and Mele is the one who is protecting the village. Since the Storm is over, the villagers wanted to do something for him and let him experience the outside and have fun in the tournament. After all he is so strong, yet he never actually fought. Given how long he's lived there, he's developed very good relationships with other villagers and loves them a lot.
- Kuuro Kuuro is very cautious. He pretty much believes everyone is out there to get him and can never relax. No matter the situation, he also stays vigilant. His unique gift is called Clairvoyance that lets him focus all of his senses, all at once and perceive eveything that is happening around him. But he's been losing his gift lately and is very concerned about it, after all that would make him the same as everyone else. And if you are used to something, to certain sensations, it's difficult to get used to a new life(like how some lose hearing). That's why Cuneugh is very important to him, as she acts as his secondary eyes. And despite his weakened Clairvoyance, he can still hear/see better than everyone else. As you could've seen in the first episode, he was able to hear Cuneugh, despite her being too far from him. He also is able to hear heart beats, as he heard Soujirou's heartbeat. He also can see weak points of his enemies, just like Soujirou. He also has trust issues, as he thinks everyone is gonna betray him, even Cuneugh, not mentioned in the anime, but he always tries to reward her so she wouldn't betray him, but Cuneugh never asks for much. He also can't comprehend how Cuneugh can be so trusting towards him, if he were her, he couldn't imagine getting so close to someone who can easily squash you with both hands.
- Cuneugh: a homunculus, she has a short lifespan around 5 years. She has wings like harpy, Kuuro assumes that it's because the creator tried to recreate an extrinct harpy tribe, which went extinct due to wyverns' existence. Kuuro met her randomly.
