Zolzal is stupid. Tyuule is retarded. Sagawara is a pedophile lol.

The pacing and the direction of this anime are starting to get annoying.

3/5 for this episode

even at 16 years old thats still creepy. the guys like 30 something and not only that, but represent a country. how would people react to a representative of japan who is in his 30s marrying a 16 year old who would be a junior in highschool? i would look down on the Japanese government immediately. and this is coming from myself, being a 20 year old. people say its not creepy when a 40 year old gets with a 25 year old, thats a 25 year old for gods sake. id say when shes around 20 and it would be fine. i myself would never date anyone under 18, and im 20.

honestly ive been lowkey shipping sherry and sugawara since she said she liked him. and the age gap doesn't really bother me that much i mean she literally has a mindset of an adult.

She is -almost- 12. She is not a child anymore, so someone being attracted to her isn't a pedophile. Remember how the locals stated that she is considered matured enough to pursuit a relationship? That's not something the writers pulled out of their mind.

We coined the "age of consent" no less than 100 years ago. 200 years ago, a 12 year old was considered a -young- adult. That's why most women were usually married between 12 and 16. That was the effect of one of the most fundamental laws of nature;

Males are attracted to young females that can reproduce. Young females are attracted to older males. Most females start having their reproductive cycles at age 12. That's the age we (the modern humans) stop considering a girl as a child. We call her a teenager or, more scientifically, an adolescent. That's also the age children graduate from elementary school, indicating their change from children to teenagers.

Someone being attracted to them is considered a ephebophile, not a pedophile. We also saw that Sagawara clearly understand the difference between his and her age, that's why he mentioned she is going to be his wife at age 16. 16 is the best age for a female to start a sexual relationship. She has already experienced the one-sided effects of puberty and she is at the peak of her sexuality and reproduction capability. That's exactly why the age of consent in most countries is 16.

Seriously, it doesn't take a degree to understand how nature works. The only reason you consider someone being attracted to a 12 year old as a bad thing is because modern society has taught you to do so. When the "age of consent" was created, it was a way to protect minors from adults in a sense of exploit and abuse, not to restrict them to pursuit a sexual relationship with an adult.

It was less interesting than the other episodes. the part when the 12 year old girl started to run to the ambassador who is like 35 or something was facepalm worthy. 2/5

This is getting out of hand. A part of me is glad that at least Sherry is now safe with Sugawara, but another part of me hates the fact that Sugawara let his feelings interfere with his job and decided to take Sherry in. This alone already caused an immediate conflict!

Well, all of this would've never happened if that bitch Tyuule and her fucker have never done all of these heinous actions...

About other people saying Sugawara as a pedo, well, even if they are in Japanese "soil" they are still part of that world where it is okay to be betrothed to girls not yet of legal age. So, its acceptable.

TheOtherJN said:

I'm also disappointed greatly that so many people think Sugawara actually reciprocates Sherry's romantic feelings instead of the fact that he merely played the card that would save an innocent and brave girl's life.

yes peace would be better but if there is a moronic ruler like the prince i would use first good reason to take him down so i would have saved her for 2 reasons 2save her cause i am nice... and to get a reason to to F him up by giving him excuse to attack, and my love for peace wouldn't stop me from taking down a tyrant that's why i like George Bush to he took down Satam Husein who was a monster, sometimes its necessary and considering how Putin's Russia has acted as aggressor (example hes involvement in Ukraine) if i had power over Nato i would have ordered them to crush Putin for hes crimes (hes criminal and a thug) even if it meant new world war, world has become 2soft (snowflakes) world leaders are pussy's scared to act, some criminals can't be taken down by diplomacy

but i would first try assassins to avoid war take down the leader with all like minded politicians i mean awry1 who agrees with hes ways to stop this poison spreading

democracy in Russ is a mask fake its still ruled by communism just softer version of communism to hide the fact its still communistic power like it use to be and rus own ppl suffer cause of it not all specially not the high class

The whole forced marriage at young age thing is kinda creepy. But the symbolism that japan is on the green sde of the border is strong. But at least this time japans acions bore political fruit, for the sake of being on the moral highgrounds (even though only the "peace" is at stake, while they would have to take the reparations bloody if it broke)

Sugram22 said:

our word way back was same sins 12 was age for marriage they were taught this politics and stuff ferry young age they basically had no time to be kids they were taught so they would mature faster, it has its limits but still they were years above their age compare to modern day

i just think the forced marriage culture is dumb not creepy
for example if one or both love some1 else they shouldn't be forced to marry
