Carnwennan's Pommel has a color scheme similar to a Cath Palug's. It's the second reference to that creature in current Arthur's design!Liones Arc trailer

Did you watch it on Netflix or found the raw?4 chapters adapted. It ended right at Tristan's apparition. It was pretty smooth.
Seeing these attacks from the Tristan Platoon always pisses me off. I can't believe how stupid they were and the fact that Chion got away scott-free. Their voices are all pretty good though.
The Xalura Ndu moment was nice as well.
There are gems for what I thought was Gawain's Dawn? It's weird. Not sure what to think of it.
RAW. I don't use Netflix but I don't think they are up to date anyway.Did you watch it on Netflix or found the raw?
Well, Chion's attack was intentional, even though he knew that Percival was a KOA and not an enemySeeing these attacks from the Tristan Platoon always pisses me off. I can't believe how stupid they were
Well, he is a prince so.., as you know, the judiciary may side with him, or perhaps they chose to overlook his trivialities because of his past.the fact that Chion got away scott-free
Thanks, getting ready to watch it myself.RAW. I don't use Netflix but I don't think they are up to date anyway.

Excuse me, how?! She's more naive in some areas, but those are likely due to the lack of a mother figure. Did it ever cross your mind that her mother might've passed away early? She only ever mentioned a father.As for Isolde, it is no secret that she is not smart at all,
I mean, Isolde has shown since her first appearance that she is easily fooled and that she is the type who always tends to attack, even before thinking carefully.Excuse me, how?!

Both Isolde and Jade were fooled by their childhood friend Chion( whom they trust) and triggered by Percival's individual actions. I don't see her making mistaken and rash judgements where they're due and information is kept away from her as defining her overall level of intelligence. If we're to go by those standards, Anne would come across as far less intelligent for falling for Sin(whom she'd been travelling with for a while)'s rage baiting after the Ardd situation and holding onto her bias against him solely because of the cloud of lies. She even questioned him after the Lance reveal too, even though he kept saving their lives.I mean, Isolde has shown since her first appearance that she is easily fooled and that she is the type who always tends to attack, even before thinking carefully.
I don't remember that we ever saw her thinking or planning anything (except Tristan and maybe Jade after his death).
I honestly think she's not smart, and I think that's clear (at least she seems to have the lowest IQ we've seen among the Platoons members)
I mean, at least Jade showed confusion and doubt about Chion's claims, unlike Isolde, who didn't.Both Isolde and Jade were fooled by their childhood friend Chion( whom they trust) and triggered by Percival's individual actions.

Should we forget Lancelot's own blunder that's still to come this arc and we can't spoil?! They all end up making emotionally ladden mistakes, especially when they're blindsided by affection they bear people close to them. And the fact that they wait till after this fiasco to give Percy any talk on self-control and respecting boundaries?
She's really overthinking, but all her thoughts it seem about Tristan (and few somethings about Jade after his death due to sadness and guilt)And she's portrayed as overthinking, in fact.
Other than Nasiens, i don't think anyone from Percival Platoon is smartMost of these characters are portrayed as very little calculating/planning. We just exited an arc where all the msain heroes still needed coaching from Sin, and even then got triggered by the slightest remark( Anne's reaction to I forget nasty helmet stripper's name).
And the MVP in impulsiveness, as shown this very episode, is still Percy. Does that make him the least intelligent of them all?! No, it makes him flawed. The mistakes they make make them flawed. The worst of them all
I don't think Percival's educational circumstances in the mountain alone with his grandfather might be the same as Tristan platoon who live in LionesAnd the MVP in impulsiveness, as shown this very episode, is still Percy.

No, "smart" refers to how you apply whatever level of intelligence, that's why categorisations of "book smart" and "street smart" and others exist. That's why the phrasings "smart choice" and "dumb mistake" exist. Cause smart tends to be more specific to isolated choices/events. That's why I'm addressing the characters as making mistakes related to certain aspects of their development, and not at all relevant to their overall level of intelligence, or experience."Smart" refers to a high level of intelligence, while "stupid" refers to a low level of intelligence
No, no, no, you don't get to eschew what suits your bias while you make damning claims about a character that was only introduced. We've seen already in the anime that Lancelot's harsh choices endanger and hurt others, sometimes himself too, though for him it's mostly the emotional part. And we don't need to discuss things at length, it's canon that these teenagers all make some weird mistakes that come across as unintelligent, yet those mistakes obviously don't reflect their overall level of intelligence. To claim someone is unintelligent when we hardly ever spend time in anyone...and I mean anyone's brain, and we get to see how their intelligence and personalities play out through their on-page interactions with other characters...that claim needs to come with serious backing. And your backing is in completely ignoring other scenes involving Isolde other than what involves Tristan and Jade. Like that proves anything.Let us not talk about what Lancelot did in the previous manga arc, because you know we will never come to an understanding, because i don't see what he did wrong.
I also don't see how this is similar to Isolde trying to crush the balls of a 12 year old boy because of a misunderstanding that she did not inquire about.
What did I say about ignoring/cherry picking(it's a metaphor I suggest you look up so that you don't misunderstand) andShe's really overthinking, but all her thoughts it seem about Tristan (and few somethings about Jade after his death due to sadness and guilt)
True, what Varghese did is worse, he wished for Percival to eventually live among other people, normally, but he failed to teach the child about civilised boundaries. Meanwhile, the only thing Isolde lacks is the talk about the birds and the bees. And a lasting resenting bone in her body, considering that she's more generous and forgiving, and thus more intelligent than you give her credit for.I don't think Percival's educational circumstances in the mountain alone with his grandfather might be the same as Tristan platoon who live in Liones
A smart character is a character who consistently makes smart decisions, you're completely missing the nuancing of the word in English. None of these teenagers has been shown to be consistent in smart decisions, and it's why I deem them flawed instead of stupid, intelligent, smart or whatever.An "Smart character" is a character who shows a high level of intelligence compared to other characters

She didn't need to ask about any "misunderstanding". The scene they didn't animate, of Anne asking Percival about clarification and him admitting that he got under her skirt and started sniffing her, just like she accused, was reason enough. If anyone randomly running around the street you warned to mind their way not only ignored that but ended up touching you inappropriately or doing something rudely animalistic to you, you'd react just as violently, whether you're wielding a morning star or have your bare hands. You've argued before that you approve of over-the-top violence done in reaction to as little as trash-talking, but I guess it's only alright if your favourite male character does it? Again, very un-smart choice.
Also, let us not bring up huge spoilers without the tag, that comes across as a very un-smart choice.

When i refer to a character as being smart, then i mean characters who make smart choices (at least sometimes) or show high intelligence (at least in some cases), and Isolde doesn't fit that description, so i don't think she is really smart.A smart character is a character who consistently makes smart decisions, you're completely missing the nuancing of the word in English.

Basically, the option of living up a mountain to raise Percival alone there doesn't seem like a good chioce from VargheseTrue, what Varghese did is worse, he wished for Percival to eventually live among other people, normally, but he failed to teach the child about civilised boundaries. Meanwhile, the only thing Isolde lacks is the talk about the birds and the bees. And a lasting resenting bone in her body, considering that she's more generous and forgiving, and thus more intelligent than you give her credit for.
Mortlach is the highest ranking CK they had met and the one with most intel on Percy and his roots( even Chion interogating him further on the LS spell Ironside used might've given them something to work with if he has access to Merlin, Gowther and whatever ancient knowledge or research materials they mght have), defeated and captured to this point in the manga. Nanashi seems to be out of Arthur's good graces and nobody knows for sure if he is still involved in Arthur's closer held plans...but Morty was the most valuable prisoner they ever got their hands on. It was him they needed securing too, for further intel if they managed to prevent whatever Arthur does to remotely kill them. Percy decided to leave on his own, out of his stupid choice matching the mess Chion himself pulled this episode, but who knows if any detail they could get out of Morty, maybe with Gowther's Invasion, would've been helpful to call him back.Mortlach is an evil enemy who tried to kill them and showed no remorse even for this, so it is natural that he would be killed (even if he did not cause Percival to leave).
Macduff was inconsequential enough that his death is irrelevant. I still think that jumping to straight up murder as opposed to trying to neuter an admitted pervert is worse, in all cases. I think the same of the situation with Meragaland( going for straight up murder is still worse), and Mera is too much of a deceitful lil' b*tch to be left alive. And Tristan went for slaughter because in demon mode his reason and actions disconnect. In that case PoD acts like a stupid drug, we've seen his father under the effect of maybe a higher "dose", not recognising and slicing his best friend in half. Tristan also literally said that he can't control his actions. He got slightly better/more focused, only trashing to bypass him, once his father jumped in, the father he loves and whose life matters very much to him.Chion is one of the characters i hate the most, and yet I really liked what he did in front of Macduff, (unless you think that Chion also should leave his dear friend's killer alive because he was also injured like Mortlach).
The enemy in case, and I've argued this before, you had no better comeback then either, had higher odds of being more useful to them than either Macduff or Mergaland. In terms of chess pieces to Arthur's interests or that of Lancelot and co, Morty was more of a rook or knight as opposed to highly disposable pawns. And he was the one with active memories of the spell bringing our Percy into existence, even if he didn't know or understand it himself. The same Percy Lancelot, the presumed most intelligent and pragmatic of the group(he fails to convince me, he keeps making childish blunders), and their other friends, desperately want back. I hope that his NEET session put into perspective how foolish he was to give into his rage back then and concede to Morty's suicide by cop move.Showing mercy to an enemy who does not deserve it and who tried to kill you and your comrades previously just because he failed and became in a bad situation is meaningless.
Which is the most stupid move of the episode, earlier the same day he made the same mistake of running around carelessly and he toppled, and, as far as he knows, injured another person. We know the critical part of Dreyfus' back pains have nothing to do with Percy( let's not spoil the reason here), but he doesn't. So he could've simply learned, from the previous experience mere hours before, to stop running like a headless lunatic where other people walk too. Which implies that he might have to lowest level of intelligence as far as I'm concerned, he takes too long to learn, even from previous negative experiences with other girls not liking his getting too close and too touchy with them. And he's spent months on the road with other teenagers who mind boundaries, yet he picked up nothing...nothing at all?! And don't get me started on Chion, who might be a book and magic genius, but his terrifying lack of analytical skills in this episode's particular situation matches Percy's terrible own error in chapter 128...sheesh. As opposed to them, Isolde adjusts to situations. She's much less powerful and less talented than the 2 boys, I suspect, and so she yelds worse results, but she learns as she goes, she's more reasonable about their options too. Yes, she overworries about her circumstances with Tristan, but that's partly his own doing and to get into details is again too spoilery, but since we're both manga readers, we know.but he did not hear her and suddenly bumped into her without realizing it or intending to do so.
I don't either, death is much more final, less likely to get out of, unless you're...ahem...certain protagonists or haxed by plot necessities characters... and Percival somehow needs a big shocker to smack some caution into him. Alas, if they keep the conversation with Anne as it goes in the manga, he's gonna still learn slow...but, hey, at least he figures out of the plethora of things happening, to at least leave Isolde be.So i don't see how killing an evil enemy who tried to kill you and your comrades on the battlefield compares to trying to crush the balls of a small child because he accidentally bumped into you.
Take this can of worms you opened back to the suitable manga thread and try to prove it edible, I'll dismantle all of your suppositions and give examples of worse mistakes from the others for comparison to show how unfounded your opinion is. We have no strokes of genius from her so far, but no huge mistakes of (common) sense either, especially not in comparison with what others in their group do. Consistently even. Technically, we have no clue to base any objective IQ comparison between these kids, just as there were no grounds for the phantasmagoric PLs some people calculated for Escanor back in the day. But there are comparable feats in stupid choices and Isolde doesn't quite make it high within our given selection.When i refer to a character as being smart, then i mean characters who make smart choices (at least sometimes) or show high intelligence (at least in some cases), and Isolde doesn't fit that description, so i don't think she is really smart.
This doesn't mean that she is stupid, but i haven't seen any signs of smart in her yet
No, basically the option to not teach Percival any safe human behaviours and basic common sense, no matter where he raised the child, was terrible. Especially since Varghese wanted to give Percival the chance to live as a regular human. It doesn't help that Percy, even at age 16, picks up intel from peers abnormally slowly. I simply don't get how Nakaba went and wrote such a backstory for his 2nd main(only to justify the stupid ecchi scenes), when further revealed details imply that, whatever Varghese did as a parental figure, he had to do better than he did with Ironside.Basically, the option of living up a mountain to raise Percival alone there doesn't seem like a good chioce from Varghese
He should have gotten a new identity at Liones and raised Percival there because it would have been safer and more beneficial for Percival.
But perhaps he did this because he was worried about the spirit of life, or perhaps it was just a misjudgment on his part
