Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo Episode 6 Discussion

@Su_mi_ko It's jealousy that causes the brainwashing. Now I don't hate Liz but I am frustrated with how most of the main characters are written. Like for example I don't like how Duke immediately fell in love with Alicia so quickly or how he can be so indifferent with Liz, heck I don't even like how they make Liz this such pure but extremely naive persona and Alicia where she keeps acting like a villain but doesn't do a single evil thing. It's weird and like the author don't know what they're role is

Of course the Duke had to ruin his badass action by getting undressed in bed with an underaged girl. He's been grooming her since she was a toddler at this point. That weirded me out more than Liz being delusional and blind (Alicia had once again turned the blade).
EDIT: Duplicates removed. Thanks for finally fixing the site MAL, though it seems "there was an error and your post was not submitted" was a bit misleading.

At least I'm glad the saint is not just harmless and brainless character. That would make things too easy for Alicia. Now Alicia will witness how dangerous a blind faith can cause, it's very hard to convince people that refuse to see the truth.

But honestly the shirtless prince is the highlight of this episode.

@maraviax I cite the precedent set by Rudeus Greyrat: This girl, when she died and was reincarnated was between the age range of 14-25 (the targeted age demographic for otome games), add that to the 7 years she was when her memories came back to her, and she is now much older than the prince. Also, as an avid fan of the game, she has more than enough personal information to, in fact, groom the prince, which by her own admission, was her target boy when she played said game. As with the Greyrat case, there is a predator here, it is once again the MC, and that poor boy has been a victim since he was 12!

They really downplayed how Alicia was kidnapped. owo
But Liz's character is much more downplayed, like her character is not even realistic (she's not real and a fictional character at that but you know what I'm talking about, adaptation just went brrr) in this story so far.

@Kiramay From what I can see from the DB, they're making it PG-13, so the censoring is probably here and there already. (Not that I know what I'm talking about)

Edit: added an image.
P.S. Yes, don't become immoral, dear Alicia.

Her innocent, pure self is all I need.

@Matt0384 Yes, the reincarnation age loophole is loved by mangaka almost as much as the "you're actually secretly adopted, so you're not blood related" one. And both are used to rationalize some pretty questionable behaviors being played out vicariously on the page/screen.

I actually like this show. I am kinda curious if anyone else saw it. For a slight moment Liz looked envious of Alicia for having Duke's attention.
