Doubt clearing corner (After Ep 8)

One of my friends hates the show after the parent and child episode because he saw it as Subaru not caring about his amazing parents because he never made an attempt, nor decided to reflect or have doubts on the life he was living in Lugunica. This is to ask for a counter the belief he’s making. I provided with the rem speech and the lap pillow scene with Emilia and his mental illnesses making it very easy to trick and make him value the life he’s had in a light where he has nothing when that’s not the case. I also wanted to ask for personal sake, does the show reveal how Sirius’s power works because I thought at first the power she placed on was despair but it was rather an emotion amplifying power but the show doesn’t explicitly say that. It made sense for me because the first episode into the 7th and the moral changing from joy to despair within the shelters.

Does Subaru know about why he has regenerative leg now, the both curse infusing thing thats helping him.

So if he knows about this he can Completely cure Crusch right? He can absorb her dragon blood which gonna make more of his body regenerative. So a Win win situation.

@WaterMage the novel mentions that the transmission of the curse from crusch to subaru isn't 1 to 1, it's like 10 to 1 or even greater. subaru only took a small portion of the curse that was on crusch's face, but it then affected his entire arm, so it's debatable whether he would even be able to take it all. the other thing is that they don't really know what the curse is doing to subaru. they know it made his leg regenerate, but it's obviously nasty and well, cursed looking, so they have no idea if there might be negative effects down the line as well. like crusch kinda said this episode, they can't risk him getting out of commission as well. subaru wanted to try and absorb it, but she stopped him.

I just wanna know why tf we gotta wait 3 months for the second half :(

@siraqOrNoraq You see "Counterattack arc" is non-stop action cour and since Whitefox is a small studio they are taking their time to give us better product.And don't be sad we will be getting a total of 38 episodes for S3.

@WaterMage at least at this point in the story, no. Also remember that this is still a theory or thought experiment. In the episode he's mainly stuck between two things:

1. Doesn't mind the gamble if Crusch gets healed.

2. He's being taken over quickly over his own body with an alien substance. Said alien substance can have other effects in the future which won't be in his favor.

So when Crusch requests him to not to risk his battle performance, he decides to stop.

@WaterMage Thank you! I like explaining things from a long running franchise that I like because it helps me remember stuff too.

Well from the anime info so far, the order shown is like that.

Because Theresia's final fate is kinda spoilery, I'll skip that. But you can compile the knowledge till now as:

1. Wilhelm "relieved" Theresia of her burden of being a hero. From his perspective, what the God decides to bestow upon a person has nothing to do with what the person really wants.

If you read EX 2, 3 and Sword Demon Battle Ballad, you'll get a fuller picture from his perspective. In a nutshell, he managed to take her responsibilities away from her while her title remained. The entire process started since he managed to beat her in a duel though.

How she eventually was forced to confront the White Whale years later by herself is also spoilery.

2. While his resolve to give her freedom is pure, Wilhelm is kinda a dick and he knows it. His conscience tells him that he "disarmed" her and she lost the favor of the God eventually. Seemingly leading to her eventual demise.

3. Meanwhile from Beatrice exposition, Reinhard is favored by the world so much, he almost absorbs the gifts of those around him. Also this particular blessing is taken by those of the same bloodline (Heinkel, where art thou?).

4. When Wilhelm heard about the news of the death and Reinhard acquiring the blessing, he lashed out to the five year old. If it was Heinkel instead, he would have done the same.

@WaterMage Yeah, the main point is Wilhelm was not even there when his wife died, so he has no direct PoV.

If you watch Ep 8 PV, you'll also see Reinhard saying he has acquired "Blessing of Episode Previews" XD

@Ashkira17834 That hasn't been confirmed. There are few strong hints and leaks but i wouldn't be suprised if they rebranded it as S4.

There is something I don't understand about the latest episode(ep 58?). Why did they attack all the towers simultaneously?
It makes perfect sense to leave Sirius to Priscilla and Liliana. They're less likely to get charmed by Sirius and bringing more people would only make more trouble.

In Regulus's case, the matter is kinda urgent. They have to rescue Emilia before her marriage. So it also makes sense to send Reinhard to deal with Regulus as soon as they can. And Subaru had to go too, I guess?

What I don't understand is why Reinhard's grandfather and Garfield has to deal with Lust alone. As it seems, it would be difficult to beat those reincarnated swordmans alone. How would they beat lust? Wouldn't it be better to send Julius and that beast guy with them? And deal with gluttony later? I mean it's not like the archbishops' gonna band together to fight them or something. They don't get along pretty well, as it seems.

In my mind the perfect scenario would be if they waited for Reinhard to finish with Regulus and then take him along to face Lust. But I understand that they cannot just sit while Subaru, Reinhard and others fight. But why did they had to take on all of them at once?

@bikrom02 Everyone's fear is that if they leave an archbishop in a tower, the floodgates will open and the city will be flooded again. They think that the archbishops did it the first time. That's why the plan is to organize things well and attack with everything, killing everyone at once.

I mean yeah but if it's not sequential how does the blessing pass on? Is it just random? Or is there something like whoever has the highest potential gets the blessing?
