@phoenix_fire:
So:
-Kou empire, the supposedly strongest nation, accepts that Magnostatt is now part of the 7-Sea-Alliance (and both allied with Reim) just like that, no problems whatsoever
-Magnostatt itself has no say in the whole matter. Where did all the racism go? Did they realize, that they are now directly allied with the Reim Empire, who just a couple of hours ago killed most of their people in large numbers?
-Hakuryuu confirmed as turning into full sasuke mode. Great.
-Titus revived just to have a happy ending.
I really cant say that I enjoy the direction this series is taking.
-Kou isn't the strongest. It was a shitty nation a few years ago and just recently became a big player. It is the only nation conquering other nations atm. All of the Kou king candidates are weak as shit right now. Sinbad has 7 fucking djinns, Kouen only has 3. Sinbad has 9 metal vessel users (Sinbad, 4 kings, 3 Reim, Alibaba) and a magi. I can go on and on about how much stronger Sinbad is.
-Magnostadt is post-WW2 Germany. They went crazy with Eugenics, lost, and now are forced to sit and listen while USSR and Allied Powers decide their fate. They lost, they're weak, and no one gives a fuck about them. Welcome to diplomacy.
-Enlighten me as to how Hakuryuu is even remotely like Sasuke. Please. Hakuryuu wants to protect his family and nation while Sasuke just wants to destroy everything. We don't even know what the Judar and Hakuryuu partnership entails. He's obviously not joining Al-Thamen and is creating his own faction with his own magi. He could become the key to turning black rukh into white rukh, or a black rukh weapon against Al-Thamen. After being mind fucked by Aladdin, Judar seems to have distanced himself from the organization, and considering his love for war, they'd be the best and biggest prey.
-Titus' revival sheds light on how magi are chosen and where they go after they die. It also notes Ugo's function as the 73rd djinn.
