I wanna fuck him
>>143964324
Get in line.
>>143964220
Why is the King such an asshole? I hope he gets a spear through his chest by the end of the season.
>>143964622
>His son retakes part of the kingdom
>gets exiled.
I don't get it.
>>143964622
>in this episode, Andragoras ruins everything by being so badass he can't even pause it long enough to realize that he ruins everything
>forgets that literally everyone around him in Peshawar are people he's wronged, exiled, or treated like garbage and he still gives no fucks
Talk about throwing shade on Arslan. Even Gieve coming back couldn't stop the avalanche.
>>143964798
Yeah, how dare the prince to command an army to retake the country while his father is in prison?
>>143964798
A guy like that probably either thinks Arslan's moving too slowly, or that Arslan deliberately avoided moving against Ecbatana specifically because he was hoping Andragoras would die in prison or be executed by the Lusitanians.
>>143964798
He's got a bad relationship with Arslan, so it's no surprise he doesn't trust him at the head of a big fortified army with many loyal and very capable retainers.
>>143964798
Maybe to make sure he doesn't become another Hermes and try to kill him
>>143964990
He's got a bad relationship with everyone at this point. Who would even voluntarily follow him now? If I remember correctly, the reason he got caught in the first place was his brilliant battle strategy of rushing to meet the enemy head on despite numerous warnings.
wasn't the whole point of Andragoras adopting arslan was because he thought that his own family was cursed with corruption and not wanting his "son" to repeat the same shit him his brother and father did (cucking and ploting agianst each other)
>>143965163
Honestly, Andragoras is so gar that it wouldn't surprise me at all if people flocked to his cause, even if he's a douchebag. Since Funi is changing everyone's names, they may as well rename him to Andragaras.
>>143965163
Yeah. I was expecting everyone in that room standing up and killing the king.
That's my denka!
I really wonder what will happen to Arslan's companions. After all Narsus was exiled as well before Arslan came back to him for his help.
>>143964622
If you have not realized it yet
No one likes Arslan in the family
Not a single person.
Why is he so perfect?
Why can't he be real?
>>143965543
That was pretty based. I fully expected Arslan to roll out the gates solo and challenge that guy to single combat.
I really wish the war and battles wasn't CGs. I understand the budget constrain, but they could just avoid glancing over thousands of men and just made the illusion over 2D.
It reminded me of Berserk
>>143965618
Well, consideringhe's not related to either the King or Queen and is some random kid they picked up off the streetit's easy to see why they don't feel anything for him.
>>143965804
Berserk's CGI is even worse than that.
Why is the audio so fucked.
>>143966101
I think someone's settings were off when they did the audio rip.
>>143964220
ROCK ON SHOUJO
Was the audio for episode really screwed up? Whenever the music starts it's so loud you can't even hear the dialog.
>No Silver Mask Denka rape doujins
This is honestly surprising.
Father of the year.
If anyone who's actually reading the novels is in the thread, has there been much of a divergence so far? Any idea how far they will even get in the 8 episodes they bothered to make?
>>143966406
This is my guilty pleasure.
>>143966101
Though it was just me hearing things. The background music was too fucking loud compared to the character voices.

So who is the queen's daughter?
I'm betting on Farangis
>>143966937
Thats a mad blunt she is rolling.
>>143966937
Didn't she have a son that Andragoras made her give up?
>>143967120
Daughter
>>143967120
It'll probably turn out to beElam.
>>143964798
So what happens next
>>143966101
https://twitter.com/Yuyucow/status/752138946264633344
funi finds a way
>>143967186
I could have sworn it was a son, not a daughter. Had it been a daughter Andragoras would have no reason to feel threatened by her possibly usurping the throne at some point. Wasn't that, and the fear of his bloodline actually continuing the reason he forced her to give up the child anyway?
>>143967532
He just wanted a male heir.
>>143967438
The fuck is wrong with funi, why do they even need to touch the audio levels for their release.
How can Funi even recover?
>>143965321
And I would not be surprised if they all fail and die fighting against him. Did you think people follow him because he is just a nice and commendable leader? Fuck no. He killed his way to become king.
>>143967682
Even wanting a male heir having girls are useful political tools. There'd be no reason to throw one away.
>>143967889
Yeah, this is a guy that just broke himself out of prison in the main base of the enemy all while also taking the queen, and apparently her chambermaid. He's also murdered his own family to even be king in the first place. He definitely rules with fear. The only reason daryun even said anything is cause he already doesn't like the king as you see in the first episode. Everyone else is scared they'd probably die on the spot.
Why is he BGM so loud compared to the voices? Is Funi to blame again?

So, next episode does most of the army just fuck off with Arslan? Because as far as I can tell all the leadership and shit now are people Arslan brought in and are probably loyal to him, not his old man.

>>143973292
I assume the Queen refused to bear Andragoras' child, so they grabbed a random kid that could pass for her child and named him the Crown Prince to fake the fact that Pars has legitimate future ruler.
>>143975684
they have a daughter but andragoras doesn't want his blood to rule or something
>>143975684
Andragoras actually did have a kid with her, even though she still hates him. He then forces her to get rid of that kid solidifying her hatred for him, He doesn't want his bloodline to continue however looking at his family's trackrecord.

Whatever it is, it's annoying as fuck. I couldn't hear the narrator at the beginning.
I remember being really excited for the second season but after the last episode feeling really rushed and the same half assed animation, and now today's episode with the audio fuckery (I was almost tempted to grab the raw and mute the subbed episode and listen to it in tandem) I couldn't care less about the next 6 episodes.

Flying Pars horses are back!
A lot of Arslan's generals will probably defect to Andragoras, but his core party won't. Daryun does have his loyalty to the throne to consider but ultimately he has every reason to support Arslan over Andragoras.
Does anybody else get the feeling that Andragoras was just pissy that Arslan ruined his plans for a glorious reconquest? He probably was envisioning busting out of prison, rounding up his army, then retaking the entire kingdom from the various factions that had invaded it since his capture, maybe even expanding the borders. Would turn his defeat into the most glorious conquest in living memory.
Then not only does he bust out to find Pars more or less intact, if ruled by Lusitanians, but the one who stole his conqueror thunder is his lady boy son. I'd be mad too.

Turks BTFO.
>>143972912
So now Arslan's going to build an invincible Navy and Andragoras is going to continue fucking everything up. Arslan will save him from another retarded decision and the king will be so angry he'll exile Arslan until he creates an invincible medieval airforce for him. A feat that will so impress Andragoras that he'll probably mark Arslan for execution. Why is Andragoras such a fucking retard? The guy threw away his best general at least twice that we know of. How has nobody just poisoned him and been done with it?
>The newest episode of Heroic Legend of Arslan (with fixed audio) is swinging into action!
Looks like Funi fixed the audio.
>>143978495
In Turkish, "yaşasın" means "long live, hurrah" etc.
>>143978429
Really the only thing keeping Andragoras is power at this point is the fact that Arslan didn't ask for his head. Arslan's too much of a pussy to murder his father even if it is what's best for the kingdom. Nobody really even gives a fuck that he's not royal blood anymore. Half of Peshawar knows. The show he made of praising the guy that set up the ruse was probably to set up the moment when everyone abandons Andragoras for Arslan.
DENKA WHAT DID YOU SAY AGAIN I CAN'T HERE YOU OVER THE BLARING MUSIC
>>143979054
How does the guy actually becomes king? is caveman killed or something?
The old OVAs covered this much story. I'm hyped for the new (few) developments to come.
>>143979054
My guess is Daryun, Narsus et.al. will sneak out to accompany Arslan as he gathers a new army to himself. The king meant it to be an impossible task but with Narsus it might just be possible. And if he DID return with 50,000 men at his back he'd make the king look like a total fool, it'd come to a confrontation then and Andragoras wouldn't win.

We'll get Hermes's waifu next week? Interesting.
>>143979205
It'd probably be possible without them. The people love Arslan. Recruiting 50,000 soldiers wouldn't be too big of a task for him alone. Narsus is just going to make sure those 50,000 are the baddest assed soldiers that ever walked the face of the earth and will be 150% loyal to Arslan not the king.
>>143979330
Come to think of it, raising an army of freed slaves would be trivial for Arslan the Liberator. Training them would be the real task.
>>143968584
>There'd be no reason to throw one away.
The Queen couldn't have any more children, so there was only about maybe a day's worth of time to perform a cradle swap, so that Arslan could be passed off as the rightful heir to the Throne.
>>143974041
She likes playing the game of teasing him, and he likes playing the game of teasing her.
>>143974041
She likes him despite herself. It's like she can't admit to herself she finds him charming, but now her cold shoulder has an element of teasing/flirting because it's been turned into a familiar routine for both of them.

>>143978575
>Does anybody else get the feeling that Andragoras was just pissy that Arslan ruined his plans for a glorious reconquest?
Not really, he's just paranoid that Arslan is going to usurp him if not by stealing the throne himself, then by having soft control of the army and the people. I mean who do you think the generals are more loyal too? Arslan or Andragorus? After they retook Ecbatana? There was a real chance for the army to stage a coup and depose Andragorus, and if not he'd probably rule at Arslan's pleasure. Andragorus, doesn't want anyone else trying to make a play for his throne.
>>143979639
I have no idea wht they've changed how his name is written.
>>143978740

To be fair, Andragorus is only fucking up Arslan and his plan to liberate slaves. From a simple reconquest standpoint, Andragorus single handedly freeing himself, and the queen, is probably the best thing to happen.

In that situation you normally just get a concubine pregnant until you hit on a boy. Maybe the king likes sleeping with someone who wants to murder him at any chance she gets due to him taking everything from her, and replacing with random kid off the streets. The sad thing is she (rightfully) disdains arslan for it. Poor kid really.
>>143979271
About what novel are they currently at now? I noticed there were actually some translations available.
>>143979512
>>143979589
At first it seemed like she honestly hated him and was just putting up with him for the sake of he's a competent fighter. Now it seems like they actually get along in their little routine of him hitting on her, and her attacking him/ignoring him because of it. Like they both just enjoy it at this point. I wonder how long till she cracks and just goes for it.I kind of thought she had a thing for arslain's purity in the first season though. guess no /ss/ chance now.

They mentioned in S1 that the Queen is considered to be an unintentional black widow. Men tend to just fall madly in love with her regardless of whether she returns their affections or not and they seem to be fated to meet unseemly ends. Andragoras is, ironically, incredibly loyal to her despite being the kind of person you'd expect to participate in post-victory orgies.
>>143978429
Daryun swore his loyalty to Arslan personally. He will always be at his side.
>>143982429
Now I find the fact that Turkish nationalists call the ideal of the unity of all Turks "Turan" even funnier.
Also, I don't like Arslan's new outfit.

>>143981282
>>143983029
I thought about that too. Getting concubines was a pretty common practice back in the day. Andragoras must really love her, he's kind of romanchikku.

Yeah because they were using Cataphracts and not-Zoroastrianistic and pagan Iranian religion. Or the whole ties with the Shah Nameh.
>>143989543
Safavids were extremely fond of Sahname themselves anon. Ismail I even named his children after characters from it
Does knight girl really die and Arslan left forever alone?
>>143989617
There are no ties with the Safavids here. We have an expy to Persia with Pars, another with the Roman/Byzantines, Turan being the Goturks and White Huns, and even the boarders all configured to represent the general territory and boundaries of the Arsacid and Sassanid Empires.
Its not the Safavids.
The geneology, the setting, the location, and everything is painting to ties with the last 1000 years of ancient Iran before Islam, not the Safavids, Qajars, or Buyaids or anything of that sort.
Its not the Safavids.
>>143989622
>forever alone
But he has Denkaman.
>>143989617
Safavids were nationalistic but not anywhere near the Sassanids level, kouhai. Also while they endorsed native Persian and other Iranian poets, most of the other rulers weren't huge into Ferdowsi's work like Ismail was.

If you read the thread you'd know about that already.
Pars - Iran
Sindhura - India
Turan - Mongolia

>>143993230
Turan = Turkics and Steppe people in general.
Luistania = Arabs
Maryam = Byzantine/Rome

Maryan is Byzantine. Maryam is literally positioned between two continents paralleling Europe and Asia where Constantinople was founded and built on where the Black Sea and Bosporus Sea meet.
So who wrecks the King once and for all?
>>143993230
Pars = Persia
Sindhura = likely the Kushan empire
Turan = Turan tribes, a steppe people related to the Turks and Huns but who originated in Iran
Lusitania = unclear, the general time period and the fact they are a warlike people who follow a monotheistic religion that permeates their culture strongly suggests they would be semetic, maybe even Hebrews, but their coloration and where they invaded from don't support this and they seem almost like anachronistic western European crusaders.
>>143993918
They're Lusitanians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusitanians
>>143993918
>Turks and Huns but who oringinated in Iran
That's only applicable to the White Huns, who spoke an Iranic language and were described as being Caucasian in appereance unlike the various actual Turkic or Mongolic tribes the Persians and Romans/Byzantines were encountering from the 4th century onwards.
>>143994045
The Turan are the Turan, they are an actual people native to Iran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turan
>>143993513
>Persia allied with Byzantium
They were almost forever at war with one another.
Maryam is probably a satrapy. Also Lusitanians aren't Arab. They are ethnically "white," while their religion is a combination of Islam and Christianity. Though the Islamic elements are probably more from ignorance, rather than purposeful choice.
Why is history so complicated
>>143994094
The article you link even states "original Turanians", not what became of the region or area which largely was settled by Steppe based Turkics by the point of the Sassanids.
>>143994169
Maryam wasn't a satrapy, it was Not-Byzantine. Also in the real world, Pesians and Byzantines had several long periods of peace with each other.
Lustianians are not white either.
>>143993992
See I knew there was a Lustianian culture in Iberia but I figured it was juts the name that was taken from it since they weren't monotheistic. It's like they copy/pasted a Semetic culture onto a European tribe.
>>143994169

I know right. For me it's Jesus was born in Bethlehem, crucified and rose at Golgotha, time skip, Columbus sailed to America and so on.
>>143994371
>American education
>>143994169
Maryam is literally a representation of Rome, probably the Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantines like >>143993513 pointed out. Byzantines and Sassanids also traded, interacted, and mutually benefited with each other when not engaged in wars with one another.
And just like how when the Rashidun Caliphate exploded out of Arabia in the name of Islamic conquest which lead to the Byzantines and Persians allying themselves with each other, we see the same thing paralleled with Maryam and Pars being allies against Luistiania who operate the same way as the Arabs do.
But yes Luisitania is an amalgamation of both Christian and Muslim zealotry and fantacism.
>>143994169
>while their religion is a combination of Islam and Christianity
Hardly. In the first place the setting is before either religion was founded. They are more like Ba'al worshipers, or some other Semetic cult prior to the birth of Christ.

You must be new to these threads.

Bards are top tier, that's what I main in A Realm Reborn after all.
I wonder how they're going to cram all that stuff in the OP in just 6 episodes and if they'll manage to conclude the story decently.
>>143996797
They probably won't try to conlude anything and have a cliffhanger end to the season with a next season announcement. They're probably trying to get a slot confirmed now so they can advertise when it'll air too.
>>143995899
I believe you misunderstood what I meant.

That, and he know he couldn't publicly imprison him or arslan's troops would riot. most swore loyalty to him. Though in all honesty arslan being the starved for parental attention good kid he is would probably gladly accept whatever dad told him to do.
>>143995737
She seemed very interested in him in s1 when she showed up. and not just because of the revelation that she was supposed to help him, but as a person. I doubt she's very maternal at all, so it probably came off as possible sexual interest. All things considered though she seems pretty uninterested in sex in general. Probably why she gets so annoyed at gieve trying to get into her pants constantly.I still hope for someone to make an arslan /ss/ doujin where she shows him the ropes though.
>>143999959
She'll win the Arslan-bowl just so to give him the quasi-legitimacy he needs to rule Pars.
Since Pars is basically Persia, which monarch had the best crown?
Why Andragonas so shit? He ruins the whole episode
>>144000835
Andragoras goes hard.
Things have been going a little too well for Arslan lately so something had to happen to add a little drama.
Whether or not exiling Arslan was the best way to achieve this is debatable but something did need to happen to prevent things getting too dull.
The king only really has Lucian and the 3 stooges by his side now right? Maybe kishward too
I suspect kubard wants to follow farangis around for the drinks
>>144001715
I think there are very few generals that will choose to side with Arslan over Andragoras right now.
>>143964220
What the fuck was wrong with the sound mixing in this episode? All the dialogue was way quieter than any sound effects and music, my eardrums nearly exploded when the OP started.

Funi.
>>144001715
Pars is not a democracy, and by that I mean both the obvious fact that nobody votes and the less-obvious fact that nobody chooses the king. Andragoras is king because he has a right to be king. In some senses, Pars is his property, inherited from his father. If Arslan's generals were to seize the throne for him, it would set a precedent for the next most popular king who offered even more popular reforms. Or a stronger king who could terrify the people more.
You might mention how Andragoras himself stole the throne - and that is very pertinent to this discussion. Andragoras put the legitimacy of the kingship in a very bad place. None of Arslan's generals want to degrade it even further, a desire they balance with their desire to see Arslan become king. Arslan couldn't upset that balance without becoming less of the king they want to follow, there's the dilemma.
And notice how we had the scene of Arslan giving up his entire little kingdom in Peshawar because a big man with a woman in the cart rolled up and asked for it, right next to the scene of the Turan king being killed so that a stronger man could take the throne, and no one making a move to stop it.
>>144000165
How would that give him any additional form of legitimacy toward the throne? Last I checked she wasn't a royal. Arslan also does have a legitimate right to the throne being a crown prince. Even if he's not related by blood. He will even be next in order of succession. Regardless if he's adopted or not, he's the king's only heir.
>>143994224
>Lustianians are not white either.
Many of their people, and their noblemen have blonde hair. A notably European trait.
>>144004344
Okay stormfront.
>>144004344
The other guy already said it, their supposed to be generic expies combining the nature and background of crazy Muslims and Christians in general.
Also Luistiania might be the Portuguese people's ancestors partially but that's a really tenuous connection at best.
>>143994524
They have a holy Text, speaking of One True God, which claims all other deities as false, a direct command to proselytize, and religious doctrine espousing some form of worldly equality amongst believers. While they may lack a prophet, it certainly more than just Ba'al worship.
>>144004476
So they are basically Abrahamic monotheists.
>>143988068
judging by the anime, I'd say LOGH>>>Arslan, but maybe the novels are different, and it's clear this second season is skipping a lot of stuff, even more than the second part of S1.
>>144002290
>And notice how we had the scene of Arslan giving up his entire little kingdom in Peshawar because a big man with a woman in the cart rolled up and asked for it, right next to the scene of the Turan king being killed so that a stronger man could take the throne, and no one making a move to stop it.
Interesting parallels they put there. Arslan gives up the throne out of duty and tries to keep the peace, even going to so far obey his father's orders to enter exile, whereas we have rule by the strongest in Turan.
>>144003216
>Regardless if he's adopted or not, he's the king's only heir.
The succesion laws of Pars are probably strictly blood based, so if it got out Arslan was adopted, his only claim to the throne would be literally force of arms and usurpation. A dangerous path to follow, especially when you want to be a reformer.
>>144004617
LotGH anime is pretty divergent from the novels, anon. And the original OVA series and movie were great, it just never got to get its full steam going due to issues at Artland.
>>144004962
That pretty much how any empire or kingdom was. It isn't even common knowledge that Andragoras usurped the throne, murdered his older brother's family and tried to assassinate his nephew who was the original legitimate heir to crown.
It would just fuel further support for Hermes.
>>143964324
Faggot.
>>143988030
Apparently some of the volumes have gotten criticism for not having any focus on Arslan.
>>144006129
And why it is bad?
>>144006293
Because for two whole volumes, readers are in the dark about what Arslan is up to.
