Kinda seems like one of those things where the ultra strong / legendary fighter wants an up-and-coming fighter to live and grow stronger so they can fight each other when the up-and-coming one becomes "worthy" or something XD Looks like I was wrong about the taxes thing in my last post, all they were after was the intruder that escaped. Granny dies =( and Oboro goes and basically adds the last sparks that start the rebellion. Also: apparently villagers > soldiers in terms of fighting ability XD |
| Aw, the grandma was a good, if somewhat cliched character. Great episode with some lazy action scenes, but some good ones too. And now it looks like the beginnings of a war. This was nicely played out. |

Kinda seems like one of those things where the ultra strong / legendary fighter wants an up-and-coming fighter to live and grow stronger so they can fight each other when the up-and-coming one becomes "worthy" or something XD Sounds pretty reasonable to me, actually! I can't believe Tusukuru died this early on. o_o I don't know if anyone else was expecting it, but it just seemed like a strange way for her to go down - although it was noble and everything, of course. I just figured she'd be around for longer. Eruruu did a good job at bouncing back after letting go of her grief. I'm sure she's still sad, but it's amazing how she noticed that others needed her to "have it all together" and she met their needs... instead of hers, maybe. That "childhood friend" of Eruruu's has gone bonkers. I hope he doesn't return as a super strong adversary for Takuoro. |
| The grandma died so early actually. O.o And that one dude is crazy... he should have been killed too! :( |
 |
| Everyone got killed except for that bastard Nuwangi. I have a feeling he's going to become an even bigger asshole in the coming episodes. |

| I did not expect Granny to die in this episode. And, yeah, Fatties soldiers were really useless. Nuwangi, of all people, survived and seems to have lost his mind. Not that there was much to lose to begin with. |

| I get the feeling that the soldiers were basically just bullying the local peasants and collecting tribute. On the other hand, the village had actually taken in a number of deserters who'd been fighting (and had been wounded) in real combat. Plus you had a couple of high level fighters among the rebels, while the men at arms were basically level 0 mobs. |

In old times many soldiers weren't really trained or skilled and were hardly much different than common villagers. It's true that many villagers also got recruited to wars and ended up with more experience than some soldier sitting on his ass is some distant post. The really trained high skill soldiers were usually part of the capitals army and the palace guard. LordWolfeye said: aero said: I wonder why that captain keeps letting Oboro go.

Maybe he also wanted to get rid of the fat guy because he was a nuisance to him or something so he let the villagers do the job for him. |

| Nooooo, they killed my favorite character. ;_; Ba-chan was so cool. I really didn't expect it. The show is finally starting to pick up its pace. The second season definitely had a way better start, but after this episode I think this show definitely has potential. |
 |
| The lead up the the Grandmas death was silly, knew she would die but not that way and didn't even think that they would all go up against the King or whatever he is. Glad he died although that bastatd Nuwangi escaped. |
 |
| That was a massacre, very surprising. |
 |
| RiP Ba-chan .-. That massacre wow. The guy that helped Oboro is pretty cool Hakuoro actually killed the fatass yey. That bastard Nuwangi's sure gone crazy. Eruruu singing at the end <3 |

Plus you had a couple of high level fighters among the rebels, while the men at arms were basically level 0 mobs. That actually makes sense. I was thinking it was a bit silly the villagers being so effective, but it was specifically established that a large proportion of the village's men came from deserted/wounded soldiers. Plus they were angry and had a reason to fight, whereas I imagine the guard dudes of arrogant minor noble would not really want to fight. I guess this guy killing the old lady is going to spiral dramatically out of control... |

| At first I was going to dislike Oboro but now I pity him.... |
| This anime intensified in no time. Was relieved to see it wasn't as afraid of depicting blood as I thought it would be either, because I was starting to wonder why it was rated R - 17+ at all. Wonder what's up with the general. He let Oboro escape twice, and obviously didn't care much about Sesante. He almost seems like a revolutionary agent at times, or a usurper in waiting. |
