Queen HILING...not a random name, huh?
Awesome story so far.

Stuff like this makes you want to search for deeper meaning behind the other guys names as well, such as Kage = literal shadow.

Hiling definitely cares about Bojji, however, I would like they explain why after Daida was born, she started treating Bojji worse than before.

Now that I've finally gotten the time to catch up to this show, I'll start once again. Just from watching the first two episodes, I knew this show is something special and so far I'm very happy with how this show has turned out to be.

I'm so happy to see that Bojji has a mother that actually cares about him. He's so precious and small. I hope nothing bad happens to any of them.

Daida and his mirror are really annoying, Boji got betrayed and Daida took his place as the king, nothing surprising though the mother is better than I thought, now it's time for Boji to leave for his travel, I'm wondering what will happen now.

That kid reminds me so much of Joffery, his attitude and the way he got to be a king, not to mention they're both kids and look similar.

The point is that I do not like him very much.

This definitely feels like the real start of the story while the first two episodes were a prologue setting everything up. I have so many questions now. What was that devil creature that popped out of the dead King's mouth? Why is the queen giving off such mixed signals? Why was she healing Bojji over and over? If she cares about Bojji so much why would she let Daida become king? And why has she treated him badly in the previous episodes? What's her end goal in all of this? Where did Kage go?!?!

The beginning of the episode was very sad with the king dying. Bojji really got a triple whammy with his dad dying, his rightful throne being taken from him, and his only actual friend being sent away. When Bojji was looking desperately for Kage that made me sad, he just wanted his friend back after those words Kage said at the end of last episode. That giant giant was so cool, we saw later in the flashbacks that Bojji saved his life so it makes sense the giant snake is indebted to Bojji. Meeting someone else whom cares for Bojji will always make me happy.

Speaking of the flashbacks they were very sweet. Its nice seeing the queen act like not, for lack of a better term, such a cold hearted bitch. We've only seen her act cruelty to Bojji thus far but this episode did show a different side to her. Which makes me confused and not understanding the mixed signals she's giving off. Now that Daida has the crown he's gotten even more ruthless and power hungry. Ordering those whom didn't vote for him killed. Luckily the spear of the king Apeas killed the snake wrangler Bebin and not the other way around. Apeas seems to be in Bojji corner wanting him to become king so he's ok in my book.

Now Bojji has set off on his adventure, I hope things go well that the spineless bastard Domas doesn't try anything. At least Hokuro is with Bojji so he has a friend. That feeling the queen got as Bojji left might be a bad omen but we'll see.


There were always signs. She knew the sign language(was in ep 1 too). Why will she take such an effort if she didn't care about Bojji at all? Plus, she has decided that Bojji is someone who can't do anything and needs to be just protected, whenever he tries to do something, she gets irritated. Even in ep 1 and 2, she didn't target bojji directly, it was bojjis actions which she can't understand and got irritated. That, and she loves her own son too. She cares about Bojji doesn't mean she doesn't love her son.

But she has realized what she is doing in this episode and seems like she wants to change... just a little.

That's what I understand from her character.

Another Take:
She is a queen stepmother who tried to connect with Bojji in the beginning, even becoming proficient in sign language from this ep. Naturally as a mother and queen would, she favored her own and what she thought was best for the kingdom.


Great assessments; I couldn't have said it better.

Even not a big impact like ep 1 and 2, this episode shows many dimensions of characters, it's really too early to judge who's good or bad. The pace is fast. The action is high quality. The universe is expanding, what's that demon? Is the previous King made a deal with demon to gain a power in exchange for his life shorten? Many interesting characters, the big blinded snake, the healing power, there's no boring moment in this episode.


It seems like the king had quite a long life though since it looks like he’s the same person as the hero that saved the town, and that town is now a kingdom

They really did Bojji dirty. Ik he gon be king soon but still.

I liked the fight tho, cool action, well animated.

Queen's attachment to Bojji is quite wholesome. Despite her early fits at him, she really does care about the boy and it is nice to see that side to her ngl. Made me feel sympathy for her and it was done so easily, kinda crazy.

Just remembered she's also the same individual to stop Bojji from trying to become king. Inconsistent character???

What, so the queen changed her attitude towards him since her first child was born, damn. But i am glad that her good/previous version is back.

Also, why would she oppose Bojji being the king? Or maybe she knows something? Wierd...but we'll see!

This one is a tearjerker.

There were about 17 eps out when I started the show, and I watched 3 the first morning and was crying by the end of this episode. Rarely do I get totally hooked on an anime from episode 1. The last one I remember that way was "The Promised Neverland".

Those shadows anatomy is quite interesting.
The queen behaviour was expected since she wasn't potrayed as being this super antagonist character but I would like to know what are they going to do with the Domas guy to proof he is not the worst.

The battle was the best part.

You can't help but feel so bad for Boji during the whole episode. Everyone and every situation has just been against him, the poor boy!

Good to see he was able to get the Queen on his side a bit more at the end of the episode, and that he was bale to start his journey.

Ahh, coming from Game of Thrones, it was so refreshing to see such a decently honest and actually human noble court. Especially the queen - actually trying to be a real mother to her step-son, even after her own son was born. It's a low bar, especially after she ended up getting her son on the throne against the king's wishes, but still impossibly high compared to Cersei. Lots of heartwarming moments this episode -- and this entire anime so far.

Again a very great episode. Poor Kage for real. But the past of Boji was so nice to watch and Hiling isnt just a mean queen, she is much more than this. I'm hyped what we will see of her in the story. As well the end showed us that something very important and exciting will come our way I guess.

i seem to have horribly misjudged both the queen and boji's tutor in episode 1

i thought the tutor actually cared for/about boji, but i don't think he actually does. and he obviously doesn't much respect him

the queen has actually been using her own strength to heal boji his whole life with some type of healing magic? she's not entirely good, though, as she seems to have mistreated boji once she gave birth to her own son, but..she's not the evil stepmother that i assumed she was in episode 1

what's up with this magic mirror? the brother's tutor was made of mud - wtf? i wonder what "mission" shadow clan is on. and that 3-2 headed snake...

It's very unfortunate but I get that Bojji really isn't fit to be king, yet. And his queen stepmom isn't so bad after all, especially before she gave birth. But still, fuck them all. My boy Bojji is going on an adventure!

He is healed. He is the new king. The devil points him out. The magic mirror has a plan. After what they witnessed how could they not. No time to hurt gotta run. He speaks to the big snakes. He hasn’t grown since his brother was born. They are now lost to her. Not much to say. The excessive L’s are a little annoying but this is completely negated by its proven ability to use then to make a better scene later. 5
