CUT HIM OFF!!! He's such a rotting rope and all bets were placed on him unfortunate it can only go so far.
Firstly, it seems like he's taking the whole "I'll keep you by my side by marrying you this life" way too far. Shuri's just holding in appearance and POSSIBLY background for Ludovika, and the thing is with the way she's been dealt with her responsibility that's way too heavy for her shoulders is shackling her down way more than just
Sponsoring her as a student/noble lady to be married into a better house trope. He's literally taking her to be married to him as a better house and knowing how much time he has left is leaving her with the responsibility of heading it without having Jeremy bear it.
I think it's not only the "take care of my children" part it's also the selfish part because
1. He's not thinking straight with his condition currently (hallucinations and not enough sleep gg j should also b sleeping lmao)
2. The more he sees Ludovika, the closer he is to death (imo my own theory because it's more likely to be you see your biggest regrets in life before you die but his death is slow so he sees her more and more)
This one I feel is giving us the snippet of how he's not "irredeemable because he wifed Shuri as an image of his old flame and was abusive to her" but could actually be the image of Vika (still don't know how she died wtf) causing him to want a "do over" for his passiveness. (Also did he marry his wife loving her OR just doing it out of duty just like the current Empress??? Nani??? And didn't Vika get married to the kEmperor and then Johannes had his own wife?)
the way vika kissed johan when hes already engaged with the emperor GURL
I knew it, I braced myself for it and yet... That's some scary ass shit to be aware of in the last minute.
Also wtf they left him like that for a while to be more receptive to their touch like dudes not gonna get out okay hahahha
Yaya spoiler for the next edition in the series
But that kiss on the highest floor before the rooftop, they were found out LMFAO by INABA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
love this "enemies to lovers" arc fr
Realise that there's a few plots going on
Nergal has fragments of what Leon values: something to do with the suit horns, black as well as the earrings that aren't made of metal of their world.
Mephisto is some weird lab guy sharing his body with a tentacle monster that he loses control of during mating season and something that he cannot consume (bro legit looked related to Nergal pre haircut)
He knows the most about Leon's body and has given him a poison similar to what he gave Leon when he was powerful back then to sleep (still dk wtf is in the actual green liquid as is)
Deus kind of an asshole that is p single celled and one of the rare light haired beings in the place.
Beryl was a monster that achieved human form through Mephisto's experiments.
Leon throughout the whole season 1 to season 2:
Has a whole ass past with Cliff (his saviour from another dimension) that seemed to stem from when he got thrown into the scrap dimension when he was young (now there's absolutely no way of telling how long it took for him to grow up too)
Cliff is someone who can apparently cross dimensions (but he can probably survive or smth) like Nergal. I assume he went to travel to a different one when he was deemed "expiring" (see the long periods of time that he falls asleep) and unable to stay in the scrap dimension for long.
Somehow Leon belongs to a very "noble" tribe, from his mannerisms when thrown in and also how he knew the sword previously too.
Could be the best possibility that he does belong to the people that mate for life and Yadda yadda has a womb and all.
One thing that's been kept rather consistent is those stomach pains that he's been having that are coming on more frequently. (During first 22 chaps we don't get a lot of it since they're boning possibly 90% of the time)
In the breathers that was the 30 days Nergal was gone, Leon had provoked Mephisto (he's literally like a feral kitten atp) which somehow had relieved that pain and was the first time he outwardly acknowledged that the act felt good.
His body's changes have been
- getting more sensitive
- getting frequent stomach pains
(possibly my assumption is that that womb thing has been activated by Mephisto's aphrodisiac and/or was at the beginning of forming and technically pushed out all his mana in place of something)
Secondly his "womb" has possibly been maturing but I feel that there's a huge catch to who's child he can probably bear (Cliff's) so while he's getting pumped every now and then he probably won't be able to bear any children either until the womb matures (idk mans Mephisto pls explain) or Cliff reappears somehow (quite impossible unless Leon goes along with Nergal to another dimension which could be his death because his body cannot handle it rn)
Amazing. Thanku for this<3
HAHAHA omg thanks for reading through my mostly not well thought out paragraphs! Author promised more plot and actually delivered with tons of smut
Wait who's body cannot handle travel to another dimension? Because isn't like the current dimension destroying Leon's body and that's why he loose his powers? Then going to another dimension should rather help him, right?
I thought it was more like the current dimension does not affect Leon so much (since he managed to gather magic and survive until he lost that ability due to the discovering of the womb)
If he does go to another dimension NOW without having some strength/magic power his body would disintegrate when moving to another dimension (like what Cliff stated)
Whilst I have time I was watching the anime and seeing the Sakura of the first chapter to the Sakura of now I'm so proud of how far he has come and how previously his goal of getting top dog at Furin was a way to prove to himself that he can accept himself for who he is Vs now surrounded by friends in the same class and grade all pushing him to the top of he wants to.
It's such a nice picture of a what if you could find yourself in a situation where you could find friends who spur you on in your endeavours as you do theirs.
Also the anime soundtrack is AMAZING!! Choreography of the fights are also top notch!! Watch it if you have the chance raaah!!
The hatred for tsubaki is crazzzy
I haven't been seeing discussions around the anime for the current episode but ngl let the guy live his life in a way that he feels proud to. Nothing wrong with that.
100% agree
And trust me you don’t want to see it
People are too fragile to move away from the anime that they said is shitty. Like ok? Move on? U dont want to be here, and so do we want you to stay here too. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Instead of learning to clean up after themselves (stating their opinion and moving away from the thing they don't like) they decide to shit all over it and bait more people to get involved
