I'm really liking how the show is also fleshing out it's backgrounds characters. I really liked learning about Dorshe, former Spear of the King who became Queen Hiling's bodyguard. Watching his relationship with Hiling as her bodyguard was wholesome, as he watching Hiling form a mother son relationship with Bojji, who had just lost his birth mother, with Hiling taking steps such as baking Bojji food and learnign sign language. Also watching Hilling become kinder to Dorshe was nice to see too, at the end of the day Hilling is a nervous sweetheart. I also really like Dorshe's philosphy as a boydguard of Hiling, belieiving that everyone is worth protecting. Today, with Dorshe protecting Hiling from the monsters sent to assasinate Hiling was such a visually-stimulating experience. Everything from the choreography, camera-direction, and animation masterfully combined to giving a beautiful, dynamic fight scene reminisit of One punch man s1's best fights, especially when Dorshe broke through his body armor and went all out against the monsters. Bro I was so worried about his life when he got bitten by them, but luckily he managed to defeat the monsters, sadly with him passing out too. But of course, Hiling was there to heal Dorshe from death. Also, I really empathize for Queen Hiling, not only is Bojji, while alive (which she and the kingdom officials know noow), gone from her, now she has completley lost her son, Daida, knowing nothing of what has happened to him or even if he's alive, losing a child has been tearing her apart, and Bosse, her own husband, is the one whose overtaken Daida's body. Also, after Dorshe's succesful protection, now Hiling basically knows that King Bosse, her own husband, has tried to assasinate her. The confrontation between Hiling and King Bosse was painful to watch, with Hiling just begging Bosse for her son back in his own body, and Bosse seemingly not caring about what's happened to their child. Also, surprisingly, this episode made me empathize for Daida. I meman the guy has now lost everything he's defined his worth with, he no longer has any strength or authority after losing his body to King Bosse, and now he's trapped in this black abyss unable to see or hear anything anymore after Queen Hiling stopped trying to reach out to him when she was knocked out, undergoing an experience akin to his deaf and mute brother. Daida is going insane in this completelty isolated and dark abyss too, especially after it sets in that Lady Mirage was just using him all this time for her own goals and never cared for him. Also the "interaction" between Daida and Hiling was painful to watch, with Hiling being the only person who could hear the cries of Daida being trapped in his own body, but with her having no way to free Daida, leading her to almost cut up Daida's body to try and free him but luckily being stopped and knocked out by bodyguard Dorshe. Also, regarding the inreaction, theres Daida momentarily being reassured that someone could hear him but losing that connection moments later with them no longer replying, just breaking down while he's all alone, but also coming to understand how his brother lives. Also, the relationship between King Bosse and Lady Mirage is pretty intriguing, it almost seems like a romantic relationship with how they interact with eachother, especially with today's dance sequence w/Mirage possessing an inanimate doll, and Im curious what their goals are, I mean even Bosse doesnt seem sure of what the future entails for what he's gonna do. All I know now is that Mirage is goign back to the Underworld to gather some monsters, presumably to finish the assasination job. Also, does Bosse actually care about Queen Hiling, I mean first he gives a heads up to Dorshe about the assasination plan, and now he's warning Dorshe to escape with Hiling for a while before the next one, if Bosse actually wanted her dead could he not just do it herself, or is Bosse's strength limited by the body he overtook?
No Bojji this episode, but I still like the characters and their backstories! This is ganna start to get very sad when characters start dying... Hopefully that doesn't happen anytime soon.
