The sister of a traitor; Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire episode 5 impression
It's about time we learn the identity of the two girls that
appears on the anime opening. Today episodes has both an action sequence as
well as the introduction of the other main characters and it tries to slow down
the tempo a bit and focuses more on the characters interactions. If we see the
opening song, we instantly see two more female companions of Inglis and Rani.
One of them has a purple hair adorned in a twin tail. Meanwhile, the other
female has a straight and long blonde hair .As far as we watch, the other two
still haven't make their appearance so this episode will introduce both of
them. First, let's get acquainted with the lady with the twin tail purple hair
whose name is Leone Olfa , she is the younger sister of the ex-holy knight
turned traitor ; Leon Olfa, who appeared at the second episode. The other lady
name is Lisellote Arcia who is actually the daughter of the country current
prime minister. She is a lady from high class society with a cold, prideful
character and can get quite judgmental at times due to her upbringing.
The story follows Inglis and Rani who arrives at the Ahleman
Cathedral. They watch the frozen magicite beast inside the cathedral; which
still emits its faint life-force. Inglis just could not hide her excitement to
fight the monster should it revived. Afterwards, one of the guards came and
informing them about Magicite beasts ran amok in the city. Knowing our cute
gramps tendency to test her might, she doesn't wait and goes to the city
directly. The capital city itself is heavily guarded and the knights somehow
capable of dealing with the monster. Inglis is ready for action until the girl
with a purple hair asked her to leave the scene. With a bit of analyzing,
Inglis find out about the sword rune engraved on her hand which is pretty much
on the same level of Rani's bow rune. For a fighter, the girl makes a strong
performance and can deal damages to the monster. She can expand the size of her
artifact; making a giant sword which can work as a shield replacement to repel
the monster. However, she seems having trouble with flying monsters until
Inglis takes an initiative to jump high and drop kicked them to the ground;
close enough for Leona to finish them off
Mini Cyrene is also a woman of culture xD |
The focus on today episode is on Leona and how she had to endure discrimination because of his older brother's betrayal. Even the knight doesn't want to give her any reward for helping them clearing the magicite beast. The poor soul just can't catch a break as she is not involved at all to her brother wrongdoing. Yet, despite the poor treatment that he received from the town people, she believes that the magicite beasts don't differentiate their target and remain bigger threats to humanity so subjugating them takes a higher priority. In short, she is a selfless young girl whose kindred spirit is contrasting with her more dubious brother. However, the fact that her brother "kills a highlander and inspector Shioni" makes the students trying to avoid her and making a talk of dangerous individual enrolled at the academy. Even one of the main cast; Lisellote doesn't want to share room with her at first. Inglis and Rani are her first true friends in the academy as they are the first one who accepted her and let her stay with them.
In addition to Leona and Lisellote, this episode also
introduces other characters like lady Ripple. She is also one of the Hieral
Menace like Eris and work closely with Rafael. There is not much character
information on her on this episode only that she admits that along with Eris
have a longer lifespan than ordinary human; enough to be called a very old
lady. It's funny that Inglis just realizing how she is also an old ojisan
inside; ironically conflicted with her REAL current state as a young, energetic
girl😂. Other new named cast members
being introduced in this episode including Prince Wayne and Principle Miriela,
the headmaster of the academy. There is also two named squires named Lahti and
Pullum whom all of them just only make a very brief appearance expect of the
principals.
Prince by Day, A Capped Crusader by night LMAO |
This episode also makes a brief comeback of Rafael who is
also turns into a young adult. And by the looks of it, he got captivated with
Inglis' beauty; which is actually quite funny and ironic because first of all,
they are actually blood related (cousin) and second, Inglis has a spirit of an
old man intact inside of her😂.
It is a light hearted episode with more on character focus. Inglis’ strengths
is still way above the competition and it has been overused lately. With her
Tendou Souji's type of perfection, she may hardly get any more character
development. In my humble opinion, it's more believable for Lisellote's
"break the ice queen" character development or Leona's turns into a
more confident person; embracing her inner peace after a journey of self-worthiness
as the anime's main character progression instead of our lovely Inglis (who is
already introduced as a strong character).
When the main character and her cousin eat for 10, I'm not sure free meal for everyone for a month is worse than free meal for 3 months for 3 people XD

ReplyDeleteYou're right xD with that monstrous appetite, if Inglis invite both Rani and Rafael for every meal, the budgeting will drain to zero anyway :D
