"Tis' but a scratch!' : The anime!

There were lots of emotional moments in this episode!

Right off the bat, with abandoned Luna crying...

Alicia calling out Clevatess on this!

Everyone involved in the fight must be confused about what the fuck she's talking about!

Thank god Luna didn't poop his pants there, or Clevatess might have annihilated humanity just like that.

On the other side of the battle, Nell got the assist!

Alicia casually going back to pick up the arm she lost, shouldn't even be surprising at this point!

So the hit DID connect! It only needed a few more strikes to destroy it!

Nice to see everyone participate in the battle (directly or indirectly)! Nell with the wall slam, the princess with the hammer, Royes... Everyone's doing their part!

Speaking of Nell, I'm surprised she caught Alicia there;

I fully expected Alicia's body to bounce back on the ground, breaking a few dozen bones in the process!

And so it is the end for Drel... Vordin had enough!

"I'm useless" ain't the argument you think it is for Vordin to keep you alive, my man!

Funny to see Alicia saying that, given her own circumstances (and how it almost happened to her a couple times)!

Better laugh about it, then cry/despair, I suppose!

His last thought was for Margo...

Going by common tropes, I thought perhaps Drel would either redeem himself at the end (given he wasn't shown to be a bad guy in his life), to get us to feel bad about his demise... Or the other way around, he would commit utter villainy to get us to hate him even more.

But sometimes, people do just die, and (I don't know how other people feel about it), but personally I don't think we should hate Drel (it was Vordin's influence more than his own), but I also don't think we should feel particularly bad about him either, it's just... one more casualty of war, I suppose!

They thought they would still have a problem with the ichor, but Clevatess' back (with reassuring words)!

Rest? Alicia removed that word from her vocabulary a long time ago!

Now it would've been fucking awkward if Luna ran to Nell!

I'll rest enough when I'm dead. Now seems like a good time for that!

Welp. Things aren't over just yet!

That's a declaration of war if I've ever seen one!

One of the rare few instances of Alicia actually being called a hero (and in a positive way)!

I'm surprised they gave up that easily hah.

I mean there's no purpose to keep on fighting, but still, when the guy in front of you has killed your friend or brother 10 seconds ago, some of them would not be that thrilled about sheating their swords!

He thinks Luna's magic will be of help to him, to go against the True Humans (and perhaps the other Dark Beast Lords)!

(But I'll chose to believe that he just grew fond of Luna and wants to stick with him)

Alicia, my girl, this is the least weird you've looked since episode 2; You have 4 limbs attacked to your body, stop complaining!

Well, this was a pretty good show!

Hopefully we do get a continuation, because there's so much to discover still, about the True Humans, and the last Lord (and I imagine the 3rd one will come into play as well at some point, though on which side, I cannot say!)

Farewell, Alicia & Clevatess (I would SO ship them... under different circusmtances)!

"Well, people say there's a thin line between genius and insanity, I guess heroes are just a bit quirky, aren't they?"

His last thought was for Margo...

Now I'm curious how much was post-Vordin Drel is Drel himself and how much is Vordin's nefarious whispers. Drel seems to still hold Margo in high regards. Well, I guess it's hard to tell, like trying to tell where the coffee ends and the milk begins after it's already stirred.

I like to think there was more Vordin than Drel in the 'bad stuff'.

I'm sure he may have been corrupted to an extent, but the way he was in his life, nothing seemed to hint at anything bad in him...

So even if he was corrupted, we might speculate that the same might have happened to Margo if it had been him. (That's probably why I wasn't rejoicing as much as some were, by his death!)
