0:00his Consciousness wobbled back and forth
0:02teetering on the brink of annihilation
0:04he didn't have enough anything blood
0:07flesh bones peace anger or happiness
0:10those things which form a human there
0:12was not enough within him he had to
0:13gather up the falling droplets to pack
0:15them in again and stand up once more
0:17subra regains Consciousness waking up to
0:19yet another unfamiliar ceiling as the
0:21memories of what had occurred slowly
0:22fell back into his mind the first thing
0:24he thinks of is REM who already sits
0:26beside him she isn't positive responding
0:28to that name yet and he notices he had
0:29been grasping her hand the entire time
0:31he looks down at his arm no longer black
0:32with the dragon's blood as REM tells him
0:35to stay in bed should he have yet
0:36another injury he however has no time
0:38for this he has too much he needs to do
0:40he wants to see Matilda and inquire
0:42about Luis worried what she had been up
0:43to the one thing that Subaru will not
0:45consider doing is stopping he may have
0:47learned to think about his own life and
0:48he may have learned to rely on others
0:49but one thing he still needs to learn is
0:51to take a break REM tells Subaru to look
0:53to his left as Luis lays there asleep
0:54The Village they were in existed deep
0:56inside a vast forests and it looked like
0:58a world where the level of civil is
0:59station's Improvement had come to a halt
1:01he wishes to speak with masalta and
1:03Vincent as they meet up with you know
1:05what I'm just going to call him able
1:06since the story is really going along
1:07with it Abel is now wearing what seems
1:09like an Oni mask and the shadrock are a
1:11borderline serving him as tarita stops
1:13Subaru from approaching him before he
1:14lets him pass Subaru demands to speak to
1:16Vincent abelix one on one and when he
1:18says that name the meeting room grows
1:20into an aura with a strong tension Abel
1:22requests everyone vacate the room
1:23wishing to speak to Subaru alone Subaru
1:25asks Abel if what happened was a dream
1:27and he asks if that would satisfy him
1:29the scene Subaru saw was no illusion
1:31hearing that he felt something
1:33profoundly heavy pierced the back of his
1:35chest Abel commanded them to destroy the
1:37encampment done with no casualties on
1:39their side and Subaru perceives that as
1:41him bragging but no he considers the
1:43feat to be Subarus the reason why they
1:46were able to achieve Flawless victory
1:47was because they had detailed knowledge
1:49of the enemy's organization Abel
1:50considered this a compliment but the
1:52Subaru why would he be happy about being
1:54a useful tool of War he doesn't want to
1:56assist in a war but Abel says no matter
1:57what if it meant saving REM that info
1:59information would have still been
2:01divulged while Subaru was heavily
2:03damaged he was given medicine that made
2:04it easier to spill the beans but Subaru
2:06says were he conscious he could have
2:08been part of a war council and opposed
2:10casualties Abel asks if he could somehow
2:12convince the Imperial Soldiers the
2:13people who do not know nor have any
2:15other means aside from Bloodshed to find
2:17a more appropriate method in return for
2:19his perseverance someone other than him
2:21would die perhaps that person may be a
2:23complete stranger or they could be akin
2:25to your other half when you stand still
2:27and indulge in your foolish thoughts it
2:28means you are allowing that to happen
2:30Subaru bites back asking who Abel thinks
2:32he is does he think himself a God no he
2:34is no God or hero he is also different
2:36from those Wicked observers he is a king
2:39there is a nugget of Truth in this
2:40discussion and not to be a Centrist but
2:42it does kind of lie in the middle sort
2:44of Subaru's utopian ideal of solving a
2:47national conflict with zero casualties
2:49is just that utopian they are in a
2:51nation that as Abel puts it has no means
2:53aside from Bloodshed to convince the
2:55other side would be to wear down Decades
2:57of national propaganda and centuries of
2:59culture to have them decide killing
3:01isn't the option however utopian it is
3:02though it is still very Noble later on
3:04Abel suggests some absolutely [ __ ]
3:06insane War crime to your [ __ ] showing
3:08the Divide of the Laguna can inflation
3:10ideology even further Subaru is right in
3:12that life is sacred and minimizing loss
3:14should be the number one priority but
3:16Abel is right in air quotes and that
3:18there are some situations you can't talk
3:20your way out of and valakian war is one
3:22of them this also leads to a very unique
3:24character Conflict for Subaru in all of
3:26these Orcs Subaru could always rely on
3:28his mind and his tongue to make sure
3:29people don't die but in a situation like
3:31this how possible is that without his
3:33words what is Subaru Abel in EX4 showed
3:36us that he is willing to make the
3:37necessary sacrifices if it means a
3:39future peacetime basically being the
3:41only way he could wave a white flag with
3:43lagunica he needs a reason to present on
3:44the the surface to those bloodthirsty
3:46masses and Subaru stands in his way to
3:48him naively thinking he can achieve
3:50peace without loss it's almost as if
3:52Abel has to deny Subaru's way of
3:54thinking because otherwise what was
3:55balroy's sacrifice for I've mentioned it
3:57before but his spelling Priscilla showed
3:59he is truly not in line with feliki as
4:01well and EX4 sends that message home
4:03I'll be very interested to see what the
4:05future of Abel's character is he gives
4:07him his full title the 77th emperor of
4:09the Sacred velikian Empire causing
4:11Subaru's mind to go blank how is it in
4:14the middle of this jungle he gets stuck
4:16with an emperor how could he trust a man
4:18who won't even show his face Abel calls
4:20him tiresome there's no reason for him
4:22to know his face to begin with as he
4:24does not show it outside of the capital
4:25he reminds him that the weak wield Must
4:27Die the frail must die and the Cowardly
4:30Must Die Subaru recognizes his chasm in
4:33valaking in lagunican ideology thanks to
4:35Todd but he says it doesn't make any
4:36sense if Abel were the emperor why did
4:39he attack The Soldier's Camp could he
4:41just talk to them here reminds Subaru
4:43that he has no Death Wish and that the
4:44soldiers deployed here were dispatched
4:46to kill him and now Subaru had become
4:48embroiled in this the people of the camp
4:50likely know nothing about this however
4:51Todd and his group believed they were
4:53after The shud Rock he says to Subaru
4:56that in order to protect himself in rem
4:57he awaited the shadrakians and the
4:59Imperial soldiers on a scale what had
5:01already occurred cannot be changed
5:02though soldiers will not come back to
5:04life the dead will not speak of anything
5:07Subaru squeezes his eyes shut how dare
5:09Abel say whatever he pleases there was a
5:12way to provide the dead which only
5:13Subaru held well at least to his
5:15knowledge he was trapped in a dilemma of
5:17choosing which side should be left
5:18standing at the cost of the other more
5:20than anything he did not have the
5:21courage to return by death to find a way
5:23out Abel once again calls him foolish
5:25why does he always desire to Curry favor
5:27with others always gazing at them
5:29intentionally constructing himself to be
5:31that way similar to how a warrior would
5:33hone their skills he has concealed his
5:34own heart with a deception called
5:36charity intense rage courses through
5:38Subaru to someone who knew nothing about
5:40Subaru or return by death it was
5:42impossible to understand even a fraction
5:44of what he had been saddled with Abel
5:46reminds super that the Soldier's true
5:48goal is a secret one of the soldiers and
5:50even the commander do not know however
5:51should they kill the shadrakians they
5:53kill the one group Abel can turn to they
5:56are Abel's path to Victory Subaru thinks
5:58to all the people killed at the
5:59encampment and the people who died
6:00fighting the white whale or petaljuice
6:02or pristella compared to those
6:03unpreventable casualties the number of
6:06lives lost here was greater the enemies
6:08they fought were not witch beasts or
6:10evil but human why did they have to be
6:12killed he asks there was no other method
6:14Abel responds questioning the
6:15fundamental aspect of Subaru's ideology
6:17he had never fallen into a situation
6:20where he had to build a relationship
6:21with someone whose values greatly differ
6:23from his he considered the most people
6:24rational he would Define the sin
6:26archbishops or witches as different
6:28beings meaning he wouldn't have to knock
6:29morals with him to me personally this
6:31feels like cope it is a method of
6:33dehumanization from Subaru to make the
6:35lives he was responsible for taking more
6:37palatable for him it isn't to say that
6:38they weren't unjustified as I touched on
6:40earlier sometimes taking someone's life
6:42is your only path forward and Subaru
6:44truthfully understands that but when it
6:46comes to someone like petal juice or
6:47witch cultists and stuff like that he is
6:49stripping them of their Humanity to
6:51justify their death and no amount of
6:53surface of a Madness or cruelty on does
6:55that consideration of being a human
6:56Subaru gives up the argument he gives up
6:59this battle of morality with Abel he
7:02just wants to bring Ram home if this
7:04were another person's Affair or
7:05something in a book he would turn the
7:07pages with excitement this was reality
7:09in a foreign country with no one to rely
7:11on it with a fierce internal struggle
7:13that should shake the Nation about to
7:14take place he asks for the location to
7:16the nearest town or Village it will not
7:18be an easy path but easy or difficult he
7:20will walk it he will pick the path he
7:23agrees with and he has mixed feelings
7:25about it but he wishes Abel is best Abel
7:27reminds him that even without
7:28intervention they would have been
7:30scorched this was already their fight
7:32too Subaru stops thinking that he will
7:34never be able to become like Abel Subaru
7:37feared the velikian emperor
7:40the shudrock treated Subaru's decision
7:42with respect and he speaks with the
7:44children of the village them being fully
7:46aware that war is coming he wanted them
7:47to remain ignorant but as expected such
7:50deceit was a facile idea that did not
7:52apply to the Jungle REM tells him they
7:53are all set to head out her reaction was
7:55the most surprising to him expecting to
7:57be a post stubbornly she instead
7:59immediately worked to leave a wooden
8:01rack was assembled for Subaru by the
8:02shudrock to carry REM on his back while
8:04traveling and he apologizes for having
8:06the tribe do everything masalta however
8:08calls him their comrade causing Subaru
8:10to drop his eyes he can't face her he
8:13started this and now he flees she says
8:15not to trouble himself they fight to
8:17prove their worth protect REM and Luis
8:19that is the honor we expect from our
8:21comrade Holly and kuna joined Subaru
8:23Ramen Luis as they head to garal the
8:25nearest town they travel with their two
8:26Shadrach guards and Subaru is tired he
8:29says he can only withstand it because
8:31he's the oldest sibling which doesn't
8:32make any sense to Ram she asks if she
8:33had siblings and Subaru is sort of taken
8:35aback whatever she wants to know about
8:37herself he will answer but she's unsure
8:39what kind of person he is what she
8:41senses and what she sees do not match
8:42she has placed a thin sheet of paper
8:44between him and evil and Carnet and
8:45Subaru says that he will wait till she
8:47is ready to tell her about her sister
8:48Holly and coonan returned from getting
8:50dinner for the party and the tube gets a
8:51bantering rem calls him good friends and
8:53as much as [ __ ] hates it the two can't
8:55be separated being born on the same day
8:57kind of like sisters REM states she
8:59wishes she had someone like that to
9:00honestly talk with Subaru goes back on
9:02his earlier pledge telling her that she
9:03has an older sister who holds her deer
9:05from the bottom of her heart he doesn't
9:07understand it but if she closes her eyes
9:09and tries to imagine it she might be
9:10able to utilize the synesthesia she
9:12tries but doesn't feel anything this
9:14volume is kind of chock full of siblings
9:16with Todd and Jamal's legal relationship
9:18Holly and kuna's friendly sibling-like
9:20relationship and later on flopping
9:21mediums actual blood connection I wonder
9:23if this is supposed to contrast how
9:24Subaru and REM currently are as well on
9:26REM and Ram's relationship that REM has
9:28no clue about I feel like there's a lot
9:29to dig in here but I'm just not sure
9:30where to start maybe later the party
9:32safely arrives at garal taking four days
9:34in total surprisingly super his Mana
9:36poisoning has still not killed him
9:37Subaru REM Holly and kuna say their
9:39goodbyes as [ __ ] natashism the very Horn
9:41of the stake which Beast he had defeated
9:43with that size it'll fetch a high price
9:44the thoughtfulness had rendered him
9:46completely speechless despite all this
9:48he would still leave them he tries to
9:50speak yeah but kuna tells him not to
9:51think anything stupid you gotta fight to
9:53protect the ones you want to protect
9:54Louis whimper is about Holly and kuna
9:56leaving being especially attached to
9:57Holly even this would not allow Subaru
9:59to change his impression of her and they
10:01see inspections occurring at the Town
10:02entrance but with no identification or
10:04bribes they can't approach from the
10:05front Subaru curses Abel for being the
10:07reason it's so strict at the entrance
10:08REM chanted him about not having a plan
10:10but he does if it were just him and REM
10:12it would be impossible but it's time to
10:14demonstrate his skill and relying on
10:16others this is when volume 27 starts a
10:18trend that I'm not all that fond of we
10:19jump to them having passed the
10:21inspection off screen so that it could
10:22be explained to us how it happened RX7
10:24for some reason at times Ops to discard
10:26a fairly traditional structure of build
10:28up and then Climax and then resolution
10:30to instead go for build up resolution
10:32and then climax we are informed of how
10:34much of a threat the inspection site is
10:35only to have it resolved off screen and
10:37to see the aftermath and then
10:38retroactively get the climax explain to
10:41us I'll save my breath for the end of
10:42the volume though as people who have
10:44read it will know exactly what I'm
10:45referring to at the very least we got
10:47flop and medium out of the exchange so
10:49it was more than worth it they are two
10:50siblings with flop responsible for
10:52peddling goods and medium acting as his
10:53bodyguard in exchange for passage super
10:56had given them the wooden rack made for
10:57REM something that flopp had deemed a
10:59unique and fascinating creation flop is
11:01under the impression that Subaru and REM
11:03are husband and wife as Subaru's initial
11:05excuse was going to be brother and
11:06sister but when medium and flop turned
11:08out to be related he panicked and REM
11:10filled in the gaps they reached in with
11:11REM Lewis in medium in a separate room
11:13flop and Subaru get to talking having
11:15turned in the horn in exchange for
11:16currency and if flop resolves to show
11:18them the way to find guards to head back
11:19to lagunica Subaru is a bit paranoid of
11:22leaving Luis alone but had no choice but
11:24to put his faith in her what a journey
11:25this has already been and Subaru was
11:27reaching his limit of relying on others
11:28something flop understands he advises
11:30Subaru to not put his full weight on
11:32others if you've examined him in medium
11:34separately their weaknesses would become
11:36apparent however they come together to
11:38form one cohesive hole and cover each
11:40other's flaws Subaru had thought there
11:41would be none of this Empire with whom
11:43his ideas would be shared flop's way of
11:45thinking is by no means common he
11:46informs Subaru that the capital had been
11:47seeming rather Rowdy recently but
11:49Vincent has been such a wonderful ruler
11:51that surely he hasn't under control as
11:53they talk he thinks of asking flop
11:54something when somewhere something
11:56fatally hard sounding reverberated
11:58he resets to literally minutes before
12:01this conversation to Subaru this was the
12:03most terrifying situation one could be
12:05in a scene he remembered a conversation
12:07he has heard and without a cause of
12:09death it felt so unreal to the point it
12:11was enough to question if the authority
12:12had activated by mistake but he knew he
12:15must trust return by death flop is
12:16confused by Subaru's Sudden Change
12:18Demeter but unfortunately flatboy
12:20Subaru's only potential suspect quite a
12:21lot of people had killed Subaru until
12:23now but they all possessed a rational
12:24explanation for doing so meaning flop
12:26could be ruled out Subaru perks up
12:28asking flop why he's so nice to them
12:29which catches the man off guard but he
12:31and his sister are doing is Revenge long
12:33ago him and medium lived on the edge of
12:35death unhappy adults were beating
12:37unhappy children so he became a merchant
12:39to lift them out of poverty to bring
12:41others out of unhappiness him and his
12:42sister had resisted against the world
12:44which pushes Misfortune out of them for
12:45Revenge helping him and REM was just a
12:47part of that Subaru tells him he doesn't
12:49like the Vibes of the street asking you
12:50to go another way which flop obliges he
12:52then looks over Subaru's shoulder only
12:54for his eyes to widen as blood pours out
12:56of Subaru's mouth his throat had been
12:58slashed open reset Subaru's face had
13:01gone pale and flop asks him what's wrong
13:03he demands they returned home now but
13:05then can he go back he had not grasped
13:07the enemy's true nature the dangers of
13:09going back to Ram's world in his head he
13:11can't go to REM he had no idea who to be
13:14wary of suddenly flop looks down the
13:16street a long way off someone was
13:18screaming no multiple people were a
13:20giant wheel was headed right for flock
13:21and Subaru as a dragon Carriage barrels
13:24towards them the impact engulfs Subaru's
13:26entire body with its intensity a
13:27festering pain and aching assaulting his
13:29entire body the existence named Subaru
13:32was synchronized with a phenomenon
13:34called pain natsuki Subaru was precisely
13:36pain itself pain was what he was and
13:39therefore it was only natural to be in
13:40pain he resets again grabbing his
13:43shoulders and trembling even if his body
13:45did not remember his soul recalled the
13:47pain he had just felt nod at his very
13:49being first instant death second
13:51beheading and third ran over there is no
13:53doubt the aim is to kill natsuki Subaru
13:56the most frightening thing of it all was
13:57that despite return by by death
13:59triggering Thrice Subaru had obtained no
14:01further information other than the fact
14:03that an enemy existed Subaru stops his
14:05shaking immediately upon a single
14:06thought when I die what happens to flop
14:09as soon as Subaru is able to put the
14:10safety of someone else in his mind he
14:12snaps out of that fearful thought
14:13pattern he grabs flop's hand rushing
14:15towards the bar and asking to hire the
14:16strongest guard they have they meet with
14:18Rowan a drunk passed out in the corner
14:20Subaru wakes him up slamming the entire
14:22witch Beast horned fund on the table
14:24Rowan asks Subaru his name but before he
14:26can answer he tells him he's being
14:27tailed the drunkenness the man gave off
14:29disappeared radiating a powerful
14:31presence instantly a man with a large
14:33build fell at the entrance of the bar
14:34flopping the barkeep rushed to his side
14:36but Subaru yells to stay away as the
14:38dying man expands shining bright Scarlet
14:41before exploding the patrons rushed to
14:42the entrance to escape the bar only for
14:44a second explosion to a current Rowan
14:46attempts to lead flop Subaru and the
14:47board keep out of the back door but it's
14:49stuck shut Rowan attempts to slash the
14:51door as something nags at the back of
14:52Subaru's mind they threw a man turned
14:54bomb into the shop then used another
14:56bomb obstructed the entrance and sealed
14:58the back door tried to put his
14:59discomfort into words but it was already
15:01too late Rowan's body teetered backwards
15:03then fell his head had been destroyed
15:05the barkeep looks on in horror before
15:07his upper half is destroyed stepping
15:09over the torn door a man with a damp
15:11cloth wrapped around his face appeared
15:13he had a firm grip on his ax in his
15:15hands Subaru's Soul quivered at his
15:17vindictiveness his dreadfulness Subaru
15:20asks why as the man lifted up his ax
15:23Subaru repeats why why why but the man
15:26replies he won't tell him anything it
15:29would be Troublesome if he ran away
15:31again Subaru matches the voice with a
15:32voice he had heard before as his skull
15:34is split open with a single blow Todd is
15:37[ __ ] different unlike those we've
15:39seen before Elsa Roswell the archbishops
15:42Todd has nothing to say he is at some
15:44deranged sin Archbishop he isn't some
15:45mindless witch Beast he isn't some being
15:47who has lived for 400 years plotting
15:49world domination or something Todd is an
15:51ordinary human being who has no
15:53Grandville and monologue just brutality
15:55no chances for Subaru to outsmart his
15:57opponents at no time to think no time to
15:59run he only puts his ax in his head I'm
16:01also led to believe one core thing about
16:03Todd that has yet to be revealed his
16:04motivation it has not been stated yet
16:07but I think it could be inferred
16:08Superhead specifically talked about his
16:09greed and how he will trample over
16:11things it means he gets to be the first
16:12one to see REM wake up in Arc 7 Subaru
16:15puts people's lives on a scale if it
16:17means he gets to save and protect REM he
16:19runs away from the battle in part to
16:20protect her Todd is likely a foil for
16:23that aspect of Subaru it was mentioned a
16:24few times in volume 26 that he has a
16:26fiance and he hopes that she waits for
16:28him during his long Mission what Todd is
16:29doing right now is ensuring Victory
16:31killing a dangerous man so that he could
16:33see his fiancee again much like how
16:35Subaru will do what he can and kill what
16:37he must to protect his loved ones Todd
16:39does the same with only a different
16:40ideology the feeling of needing to vomit
16:42the ax committed against him and the
16:43deafening ringing in Subaru's ears
16:45tormented him if this is the nearest
16:46city to the Jungle of course survivors
16:48of this phrasing would flee here yet the
16:50thought did not cross his mind at all
16:52Todd with Subaru's enemy a word used in
16:55manga or games but right here for the
16:57first time Subaru had considered a
16:59living breathing human his enemy an
17:01enemy that he created by none other than
17:03his own actions as v0 once again proved
17:06that indeed it does have Stakes return
17:07by death cannot fix everything he tries
17:09to pull himself together asking flop to
17:11get his medicine from REM so that he can
17:12get flopped to safety Subaru hopes that
17:14when flop arrives at the Inn alone and
17:15REM would realize something had gone
17:16wrong as Subaru turns to head to the bar
17:18he hears a hoarse voice come from behind
17:20him as flop begins to scream out a knife
17:23had pierced his thigh before he can
17:25think he rushes to his side the thing is
17:27why was flop not killed in Warfare
17:30snipers might injure their opponents so
17:32their comrades would come to save them a
17:34nightmarish method that took advantage
17:35of those who had a sense of Fellowship
17:37immediately after something collides
17:39with Subaru blowing off his right
17:40forearm the only word that flashes
17:42through his mind is mistake as Todd
17:44looks down at him glaring back with
17:46bloodshot eyes Todd remarks he needs to
17:47make sure to properly sharpen his ax
17:49when he raises it to kill Subaru flop
17:51jumps onto him telling Subaru to run
17:53away Todd quickly shakes him off tossing
17:55him to the ground one two and three
17:58Todd places his ax directly in flop's
18:01face witnessing the alloy becomes soaked
18:02with blood Subaru's mouth fell open in
18:04disbelief Subaru barely mutters he gets
18:07it Todd resents him he feels the anguish
18:10of letting his adequacy lead the flop's
18:12death again yelling out he begs Todd not
18:14to bring everyone into it he only
18:16replies with an ah what do you mean by
18:18resent it's not resentment you kill a
18:21poisonous snake not because you present
18:23it but because you fear it for that you
18:25use anything at your disposal to kill it
18:27there was no lie in Todd's response or
18:29attitude as he looked out at Subaru with
18:31a smile you are the same as me I will
18:34not give you time Subaru searches for
18:36the correct words with return by death
18:38he would find a through line behind
18:40various events but right here right now
18:41nothing works he calls out begging Todd
18:44to wait I will not wait he replies that
18:48was when natsuki Subaru was killed what
18:49should he do he does not possess even
18:51the slightest idea within this 20-minute
18:53span Subaru had already lost his life
18:55five times he had made no progress and
18:58even know he is being watched his mind
19:00races there is no option with the sin
19:03archbishops they had authorities which
19:05had weaknesses however Todd would use
19:07everything he could he would not rely on
19:09anything it did not take damage to the
19:11surroundings into account in order to
19:12kill what must be killed the only
19:14Advantage Subaru had was returned by
19:15death as these thoughts race through his
19:17mind Subaru catches on to a faint thread
19:20there was one barely present connection
19:22Todd would make sure to utilize surprise
19:24attacks to diminish the damage to
19:25himself Subaru looks up yelling out
19:28Todd's name Todd I know you're here he
19:31screams out that Todd had survived by
19:32some Devil's luck but he won't let him
19:34get away this time there was a chance
19:36that he would become enraged by Subaru's
19:37provocations but he trusted it would not
19:39come to pass Todd's caution towards
19:41Subaru grew stronger meaning he must
19:43pick fight or flight if he fights then
19:45he must get rawan involved if he picks
19:47flight then he would need to grab rim
19:49and Escape From the City he gives flop a
19:50brief explanation and heads back to the
19:52info REM she is however very
19:54understanding immediately acting to
19:56retrieve their luggage because she had
19:58never unpacked Subaru REM Luis flop and
20:00medium all get on the O'Connell family
20:02Ox boatcliff they Rampage through the
20:04streets to escape the city but as they
20:06approached the inspection area the path
20:07is filled with men clad and armor Todd
20:09had changed plans Jamal stands screaming
20:12at them about the witch Beast as medium
20:13kicks off her seat to fly straight into
20:15the enemy she begins to solo the
20:17Imperial soldiers in front of her before
20:18Jamal stops a rampage by sending her
20:21flying Subaru notes the clear difference
20:22in strength but luckily medium gets a
20:24Shonen power up from flop telling her
20:25that his sister can do it a flurry of
20:27blades assaulted Jamal's entire body
20:28parrying with his dual swords Ram throws
20:31a crate at Jamal buying them just enough
20:32time to pull medium out of The Fray and
20:34saving her finally Subaru's field of
20:36vision opens up freeing him from this
20:37torturous City or so we thought a
20:39silhouette plummets towards Subaru from
20:41above the gate an ax raced High into the
20:44air a single strike swung downwards the
20:46blow was one that REM nor medium were
20:48able to react to something that could
20:50not be guarded against if it had not
20:52been predicted this is where nasuki
20:53Subaru which surely loses life if Subaru
20:56had not had the foresight to intercept
20:57Todd's sneaky attack back using one of
20:59medium's machetes he protects his head
21:01because that is what Todd would do
21:02Louise clings onto him freeing the
21:04pressure from Subaru's wrist and causing
21:05Todd to stumble back Subaru stands up
21:07yelling out that you're watching right
21:08do it and then it flew straight across
21:11as an arrow pierced Todd's side throwing
21:14him off the cart and causing him to
21:15Tumble to the ground Polly and kuna had
21:17awaited this very moment that nasty
21:19[ __ ] Emperor after days of traveling
21:21back to the shadrock Village Subaru is
21:23determined he marches right back to Abel
21:25pulling his mask off and pulling back to
21:27hit him directly in the face until he
21:28gets stalked by Miss Zelda not the faith
21:30she says so he compromises and punches
21:32him in the gut Abel recoils from the hit
21:34before quickly composing himself and
21:35commenting on the noisy company he
21:37brought pointing out flop and medium
21:38Redmond forms able that they are now
21:39being targeted by the city soldiers but
21:41he corrects her they are being targeted
21:43by those who serve the country he tells
21:45Subaru that this is the Fate he has tied
21:46himself to even before encountering the
21:48shot Rock Subaru doesn't disagree but he
21:51states that he alone should suffer the
21:52consequences he refuses to show kindness
21:54to Abel who had foreseen this entire
21:56scenario coming and he retorts that he
21:57simply came all the way to lay out dull
21:59words of abhorrence as if he didn't warn
22:00him latching onto the closest peace and
22:02safety you could find understand that
22:04this was the penalty for not using your
22:05head fellows like you value what is seen
22:08with your own foolish eyes more than the
22:09worth of the wise the intensity of
22:11falling raindrops is more eloquent than
22:12anything that could have come from my
22:14mouth thanks to that you must feel it
22:15keenly that for you there is nowhere to
22:18run Subaru stammers what does it you
22:20want to do to regain what was stolen to
22:23that end the current Empire is his
22:24adversary and it is Subaru's enemy as
22:27well Subaru responds so everything rests
22:29in the palm of your hand but no Abel
22:31only holds some people it is because of
22:34the portion he could not control that he
22:35sits upon the dirt it seemed like
22:38self-deprecation it was unusual the
22:40first time ever that Subaru had heard
22:42Abel mock himself flop suddenly enters
22:44the scene introducing himself to the
22:45Shad Rock and looking forward to the
22:47ritual Abel inquires about his life as a
22:49peddler and asks how acquainted he is
22:51with the girl a peddler might know a
22:53byway or two Abel's master plan the fall
22:55of garal is one step closer that City
22:58will become their next base Subaru's
23:00brain digested the contents of that bold
23:01Proclamation and reached an immediate
23:03conclusion Abel is absurd Abel asks if
23:06he knows of the difference between an
23:07offensive and defensive military force
23:09and he follows up by mentioning the law
23:11of threefold attack a theory in which
23:13the attacking side must have three times
23:14the strength of the defending side
23:16clearly they are outnumbered here the
23:18commander of the city Zakir Osman is a
23:20solid and boring strategist but with
23:22that ability comes the weak point on top
23:24of their inferior military strength the
23:26enemy Commander is a big shot counted
23:27among the elite cerebral tells Abel he
23:29is vehemently against fighting only
23:31wanting to go home with REM would he be
23:33safe in another town though no matter
23:34where he goes his peace can no longer be
23:37secured he intended to Grant Subaru time
23:38to fully realize it and on its seep into
23:40his blood Subaru knows what flop said in
23:42the city about the state at the Capitol
23:43and asks if Abel can prove he isn't some
23:45crazy person he replies that the capital
23:47is using a fake remarkably similar to
23:49him himself his double shisha gold flop
23:51butts in because he has no [ __ ] idea
23:53what's going on asking Abel to explain
23:55why he hopes for gorilla to fall because
23:57without a shadow of a doubt Abel is the
23:59Emperor he refuses to give up any of his
24:01knowledge as a peddler that will cause
24:02Misfortune to others Abel is not pleased
24:05stating his efforts will bear no fruit
24:06this is the land of the Wolves Flopper
24:08spawns however even in the land of the
24:10Wolves sheep also live if wolves were to
24:13come and bite his ass he would ride his
24:14Ox car and run away with his sister he
24:16has repeated that over and over till
24:17this day able offers to buy the
24:20information he has and he responds by
24:21stating he is very stubborn refusing to
24:23comply with anything he can't agree on
24:25Subaru and REM exit letting Evelyn flop
24:27negotiate for days Subaru had been
24:29focusing on his anger at Abel avoiding
24:31speaking with REM there was a limit on
24:32how much he could run from things he did
24:34not like though she notes Abel is likely
24:36adding various conditions causing flop
24:37to not budge Subaru says however that
24:39flap is a good man and REM intervenes
24:41saying you can't simply say he's good he
24:43doesn't want to hurt others with his
24:44knowledge but how does he account for
24:46the casualties that will arise without
24:47his knowledge Subaru bites back saying
24:49that she's just arguing to argue a fake
24:51accusation that he would have nothing to
24:52do with I think the situation remember
24:53speaking of is in fact not a fake
24:55accusation but it closely relates to the
24:57trolley problem while the outcome is not
24:59as well known or a set in stone as the
25:01Charlie problem the situation has
25:02already been forced onto flap by Abel he
25:04either divulges the information on how
25:06to enter at an unanimate people die or
25:08he refuses to give up the Intel and an
25:10unknown amount of people die what it
25:11comes down to especially for flop is
25:13harm reduction would giving Abel the
25:15information lead to less death
25:17considering he does not even care about
25:19civilian casualties that might be
25:20unlikely by not divulging the
25:22information he could be dooming the
25:24shirakians just like Subaru in Phase One
25:26flop is now in a position to put the
25:28lives of people on a scale
25:31REM considers fluff's perspective a
25:33fairy tale and directly calling out
25:35Subaru as well because he had the same
25:36point of view against Vincent earlier
25:38sieber points out that earlier she
25:39didn't want battle has she accepted we
25:41have to fight he brings up her not
25:42packing up at the end she tried to run
25:44away from him again didn't she REM
25:46silence is piercing if you can't believe
25:48me it's fine it's painful but I get it
25:50but the people waiting for you the
25:51people who hold you dear in their hearts
25:53are real if you don't like me don't talk
25:55to me I'll endure it but please don't
25:57try to leave his voice shakes begging
25:59with her please do not shut me out of
26:01your life whether those droplets of
26:03tears that appeared were the result of
26:04his self-pity or of his petitioned to
26:06REM was unknown even to himself truly he
26:08was just being exceedingly pathetic it
26:10was so absurd it made him laugh even if
26:12he was not given up on it would not be
26:14surprising for he to be abandoned
26:15because of his begging right now he
26:17continued to expose his hopeless and
26:18pitiful self in front of REM he had
26:20decided to show his weakness only in
26:22front of REM however that did not mean
26:24he wanted REM and music and with no one
26:26to rely on and alone in another country
26:28to shoulder the heavy burden that was
26:30natsuki Subaru holy [ __ ] I love this
26:32Subaru as a character feels so organic
26:35so grounded it doesn't feel like a
26:36character flaws are introduced in that
26:38Arc to be tackled and forgotten natsuki
26:40Subaru feels like a constant like a
26:42human his issues with his self-worth
26:44have massively improved 27 volumes in
26:46but those negative thoughts still not at
26:48the back of his head seven Orcs in he is
26:51still attempting to learn the
26:52distribution of his burdens going from
26:53going all in on himself putting too much
26:55on others and now where he understands
26:57other people's boundaries and even his
26:59own a silence up the space between them
27:01she wasn't trying to abandon him Luis
27:04knocks over Subaru as yutakata runs over
27:06trying to tell her to stop and Subaru
27:07hands her back over to the child REM
27:09notes how he looks at that kid and it
27:11puzzles her what does she want him to do
27:12what did Ram wish for she doesn't want
27:14to battle but she doesn't think they can
27:16keep running forever flop's words are
27:18not realistic but she also can't agree
27:19with Abel's bloodthirsty tactics the
27:21same man that recommended poising the
27:22town killing even Innocents they must
27:24confront the dichotomy involving lives
27:26she looks towards Subaru and meekly asks
27:29could you do something about this he
27:32freezes as if struck by lightning why
27:35did REM look at Super with eyes that
27:37looked like she was holding onto him
27:38that one-sided selfish question started
27:41a fire in natsuki Subaru at first
27:42feeling anger for having been distrusted
27:45and beaten and looked down upon now
27:47being trusted with a blood The Siege but
27:49even if he got angry he would no doubt
27:51be forgiven that was how selfish the
27:53option REM chose was however what Guru
27:56and Subaru at that moment was a sense of
27:58Duty that arose from the very bottom of
27:59his Soul evading combat flop O'Connell
28:02preparing for battle Vincent abelix the
28:05one who must find a pathway different
28:06from these two natsuki Subaru why was
28:08that that was because he is the hero
28:10that rep believed in he thinks he
28:12concentrates he imagines he grasps all
28:14of the possibilities before a thought
28:16appears with a flash he put his hand on
28:18Louise and she only looked up at him REM
28:20looked at him almost as if she still had
28:21her memories believing Subaru could
28:23reach the answers others could not he
28:25barges into the meeting room Abel
28:26flaring his nose into satisfaction
28:28telling him he has no role here Subaru
28:30ganks his mask off again telling him
28:31that since he's so terrible at being
28:33persuasive he'll do it himself he has
28:34cracked the code for a bloodless fall of
28:36garal this is when we get a prime
28:38example of what I was discussing earlier
28:40we build up to the plan of Subarus
28:42whether it be the ideological conflict
28:44between Supreme Vincent or even Laguna
28:46covers flakia something that stews for
28:48this entire volume and we even see
28:49Subaru grapple with his morality with
28:51Todd only for the next chapter to give
28:53us the resolution to the plot point of
28:55the blood of Siege showing us exactly
28:56what Subaru has in mind without any of
28:58the groundwork being done for it then
28:59the rest of the volume gives us even
29:01more buildup and then the climax we
29:03basically get a chapter a name chapter
29:04by the way for the previously mentioned
29:06Commander Zakir Osmond in it we learned
29:08he is named the womanizer a name he
29:10enjoys more than his last nickname he
29:11was surrounded by sisters giving him a
29:13unique sense of respect for women in
29:14this world that respect led him to be
29:16partial to the shadrakians being an
29:17all-female tribe he would spite the
29:19capital's orders and attempt to stick to
29:20a persuasive approach until he hears of
29:22the attack in the forest he will wait
29:23for reinforcements before he crushes
29:24them that is when he hears of a band of
29:26traveling entertainers in town to raise
29:28morale the Army present attends their
29:30show the crowd becomes Enchanted by the
29:31woman dancing on stage as she crosses
29:33the hall to him and requests his sword
29:34he did not have the option to refuse and
29:36not pass the blade over that was why it
29:38was his loss as Vincent had his unsheen
29:40sword pointed at his throat a chapter
29:42that likely did not need to be a name
29:43chapter but there we go this is when at
29:45least in the web novel we get three
29:46chapters of recap to show us how we got
29:49here I really really do not like that
29:51there was absolutely zero reason to not
29:53just play it chronologically here we
29:54learned that Subaru has to plan for
29:56himself able and flop to enter in drag
29:58alongside kuna and tarita to take down
30:00secure without killing anyone gee I
30:02wonder how the plan goes the total
30:03Whiplash of volume 27 going from Subaru
30:06being slaughtered by top like five
30:07separate times making Subaru literally
30:10[ __ ] his pants in fear and the
30:11ideological conflict and morality of
30:13Taking Lives to then be juxtaposed with
30:15three chapters of Subaru and Co wearing
30:17dragon doing their makeup personally
30:18it's a Miss for me I don't even
30:20necessarily mind the plan of
30:21cross-dressing to sneak in and take the
30:23city from the inside when it's been
30:24repeatedly stated that they are at a
30:25numbers disadvantage I wasn't expecting
30:27some huge brawl or anything the
30:28execution of this was just corny before
30:30they see Zakir Jamal enters their
30:32quarters and gets super pushy and
30:34aggressive with the girls when he
30:35entered the room a Subaru's heart
30:36stopped and he briefly thought that he
30:38hoped Todd would was killed by that
30:39Arrow it was a difficult thought he
30:41didn't want to see Todd nor did he want
30:42Todd's death that man exists as an
30:44object of Subaru's fears and shortly
30:46after he encounters the man himself
30:47Subaru's throat trembles and obviously
30:50since Todd only sees an unfamiliar woman
30:51he's confused he knows that Todd would
30:53see through any lie he tells him trying
30:55to use any knowledge gained from Return
30:56by death would lead to Todd relying on
30:58his gut Subaru or natsumi says that that
31:00she is scared not just of Todd but due
31:02to being forced here he apologizes on
31:03behalf of Jamal asking her to be
31:05open-minded and to forgive the cruel man
31:06Jamal reappears ready to harass women
31:08yet again only for Todd to Reign him in
31:11complicating our view of this man yet
31:13again as they leave he turns back to
31:14natsumi and asks her name this mere
31:16question makes the Subaru freeze yet
31:18again this very reason was why Ram had
31:20been wary of Todd to begin with not so
31:21many shorts that is my name and Todd
31:24accepts it stumbling off with Jamal we
31:26finally get to Abel pulling out zika's
31:28sword telling him to have his mantis arm
31:30or his cup shall be filled with not
31:32alcohol but blood there was no fear in
31:33the Man's eyes but hesitation almost as
31:36if he recognized the person standing
31:37before him two soldiers moved towards
31:39able being stopped by kuna and tarita
31:41narrowly avoiding killing them due to a
31:43plea from flop zakira Wilt disarm and
31:45Abel tellsubu to burn the flag on top of
31:46the building because he has done nothing
31:48as tribal feels like something is wrong
31:49while patrolling with Todd and the flag
31:51atop City Hall bursts into flames a
31:53barbaric act that took Todd off guard
31:55and right beside their very flag he saw
31:57her natsumi Schwartz the more he thought
31:59about it the more it matched natsuki
32:02Subaru the poster child of War had
32:04easily surpassed and ridiculed him Jamal
32:06wants to rush in but Todd pulls him back
32:08with the city hall burning surely the
32:10entire Tavern is dead the two Escape
32:11through a hole that they had just
32:12plugged in the wall as Todd states he
32:14will remember him as natsumi now a
32:16poster child of War Miss Zelda
32:17compliments Subaru on his accomplishment
32:19he has shown courage through wisdom as
32:21REM appears to make sure he isn't
32:22injured again he regrets that it wasn't
32:24purely bloodless looking at the two
32:25people kuna and tarita had injured REM
32:27asks why Subaru remains in Dragon he
32:29says he didn't have to tie the change he
32:31never intended to stay as natsumi right
32:33he's very good at crossdressing and he
32:34keeps calling himself cute and with all
32:36the themes of gender identity going on
32:37in these books I'm definitely interested
32:39to see what this could go Abel is alone
32:40with zika until Subaru joins them and
32:42secret already seems entirely loyal it
32:44is his duty as the general of the
32:46emperor to respond to his requests he
32:48feels honored an opponent transcending
32:50even the clouds above knew him his
32:52strengths and weaknesses and upon that
32:54built his strategy around him with
32:56secure online Abel has acquired a shrunk
32:59fighting force and he informs them
33:00reinforcements are coming the word
33:02reinforcements pings throughout the room
33:04as able sits up demanding that they
33:06close the gate now Luis begins to shed
33:08large tears as if she is afraid of
33:10something she points towards a corner of
33:12the hall but there was nothing there
33:15should have been nothing Abel calls
33:16about Zelda who fires four arrows
33:18directly at it shattering the floors and
33:20walls before a disembodied voice claims
33:22that something like that won't kill her
33:23in the blink of an eye mazzelda was
33:25engulfed in flames Holly dumps water on
33:27her as arakia makes herself known now
33:30ranking second among the nine Divine
33:31generals she stands as the second
33:33strongest person in the Empire The
33:34Shadow Rock attempts to stand up to her
33:35but it's no use they get sucked into a
33:38massive tornado she creates causing
33:40everyone to get flung around the room
33:41Subaru hopelessly searches for REM while
33:43being tossed around only the spot able
33:45and a half destroyed balcony leading
33:46against the railing with blood pouring
33:48down his forehead aurikia says he lied
33:50and she will never forgive him she steps
33:52towards him but a pillar comes crashing
33:54down REM has knocked it over attempting
33:55to crush arakia in her Warpath but she
33:57is unharmed she remarks it is unusual to
33:59see and Oni telling her to not get in
34:01her way REM continues to try and fight
34:03back but it's useless arakia says she
34:05isn't good at controlling her own
34:06strength and if she persists round 2
34:08will fly away Why Stop Now then she asks
34:11arakia picks up a branch to give REM the
34:13send-off sheet requests but there was no
34:15way Subaru could tolerate such a thing
34:17he was willing to die if he met
34:18protecting her protecting REM against
34:20his back he spreads his hands what a
34:22comical sight those words reach his ears
34:23as he prepares to have everything taken
34:25away he slowly opens his eyes however as
34:27nothing occurs death had not be fallen
34:30his body and someone stands in front of
34:32him now with their back against him the
34:34being that had appeared cut down all the
34:37destruction That was supposed to come
34:38while holding up a glowing red sword in
34:40her right hand pompous arrogant Crimson
34:42eyes convinced that everything in this
34:44world would kneel at their feet
34:45Priscilla burial had a blood-colored
34:48smile on her face as usual we're going
34:50to go over the required Side Stories for
34:52this phase just like last time there are
34:54three the first one jumps back to Emilia
34:55and Co at the Watchtower as she tries to
34:57give volcanica to protect the tower he
34:58continues to repeat his art 6 LED before
35:00a town on his foot shakes and cracks
35:02Emilia believes it is volcanica's way of
35:04proving that a promise was made even a
35:06mere fragment of his talent is made up
35:07of an enormous quantity of Mana with
35:09this he will be able to distinguish the
35:11party from a distance we also learned
35:12that dragons are just enormous masses of
35:14Mana which is raw the first thing the
35:16party decides to do is talk to Roswell
35:18he is unable to assist him in finding a
35:20path of elikia due to the flying dragons
35:21but perhaps Otto's wisdom will be of use
35:23when he returns for Priscilla the second
35:25story is about remin Vincent at the very
35:27end of volume 26 REM wants to get away
35:28from Vincent's War but he says he is war
35:30itself no matter where you are no matter
35:32how far you flee the Flames of War shall
35:34surely find you they shall once more and
35:36broil you engulf you he informs REM that
35:39Subaru will take her and run but will
35:40fail let him do so he must learn and
35:43face reality the final story is a Todd
35:45story taking place when Subaru made a
35:47break for it last volume Todd gives the
35:48soldier some water which he had poisoned
35:50by the snake's venom he is sure they
35:52have a lot of questions but he is not
35:53going out of his way to answer them
35:54Eddie takes his ax out once more he goes
35:57to Jamal who is washing himself in a
35:58river since he got covered in a snakes
35:59blood and Todd says the rest of the
36:01search party didn't believe in him like
36:02Jamal does Todd desires to reorganize
36:04and squash those cunning shodrock volume
36:0627 was unbelievably good besides those
36:09last three chapters Todd quickly and I
36:11mean quickly skyrocketed up my tier list
36:13and the Vincent and Subaru conversations
36:15are always absolute Peak the your issue
36:17is as mentioned earlier the story
36:19blowing its load and then telling us how
36:21it got blown and the total Whiplash of
36:23the cross-dressing stuff great pacing to
