I knew that something was suspicious about Seth and she quite surprised me at the end. Activating her Crusnik powers was awesome.
The story is now progressing well I think, one of the most interesting episodes was this so far~~

This is one of the few episodes of an anime to genuinely blow my mind, god damn.

AWESOME. The Empress is a Crusnik. One of the best episode so far.

Wow I was actually surprised, Abel not only knew the Empress but he is her brother, they are siblings. Other than that seems that my spoiler was actually a spoiler 2episodes ago.

Spoiler, might be actual spoiler.


Also seems that the similarity to Trigun continues, even though it's different. It has multiple similarities.

After Seth took care of some killers after Esther (ep 17) it was clear she was overpowered, but I would have never thought she was a Crushnik. And neither that she was the sister of Abel. Maybe not the best episode, but it had a nice balance of action and twists, and Seth's Crushnik form was nice. Looks like the big bad guy is another of their siblings (Crushnik 01?).

There were other hints before that. In episode 11, when Astaroshe does her report, you see the lower part of the Impress face (that includes a haircut of black hair) and hear her voice. So in episode 15, when you see the blonde doppelganger whom Abel doesn't recognize, you know something is off.

I was right about Seth being the empress but I didn't think that she and Abel are siblings.
Nice development this episode, Seth is Crusnik 03, Abel 02 and I'm guessing that the guy who fell from space is 01.

Well damn! I was both right and wrong, the Empress and Moldova were both alive, and Seth is acting suspicious because she's actually the Empress. So that's why Abel was really casual in questioning the Empress identity last time, they knew each other wayyyy back and they're really close, almost family. The real bombshell was that she's also a Crusnik! O_o Awesome!

Thank the gods the one-sided love story (for now, at least) is over. Now let's move on to the story, the flashback was quite exciting!

Well, that was an amazing development I sure wasn't expecting. I liked Seth at first, but at the end I adored her.

Seth being the empress wasn't that surprising given the huge hints we saw earlier in the series. Included her sitting on the throne. The Crusnik thing was somewhat surprising though it makes sense given how they say the Empress is everyone's mother i.e probably immortal.

Not really ever been engaged in the series, it's story or should I say plot is mostly non existent. Sure stuff is happening all the time but the only throughline we've had is the Orden and that Dietrich dude. And in most episodes they've been in the background and barely appearing. I don't know I just can't sink my teeth into this one (pun intended).

For better or for worse the basic romance of the last 5 episodes or whatever at least gave us something to follow and had plenty of twists to it. It was melodramatic and hardly amazing but it was something to concretely follow for abit which is better than what the show has offered for the most part up to this point.

The empress was Seth after all, pretty nice twist though. I was more surprised that she was a crusnik, the one that knows Abel at that.

I wonder who were they talking about there besides the tree? It must an old acquittance that Abel wants to destroy. I wonder why?

I'm saddened by how Ion didn't confess to Esther, too bad.

So, Seth happens to be sister of Abel. And I guess the airdropping blonde was their brother as well. Since, he is Abel then the blonde name have to be Cain.
