This was a phenomenal episode, I'm a sucker for stuff that plays off or expands the world/elements of a series, was surprised to get the reveal that Geryon was also a homunculus (he really IS Atropos' dad) all this time. I love how Germain hijacked the narration to let the viewers know things are far from being resolved: "Except...who ever said he was the ONLY Abyssalis King?"
Lots of stuff from the episode blog this week that I thought were really cool:
[The 3 Abyssalis Kings are roughly equal in strength. So why was Gigist defeated so easily? That's because he's "Abyssalis King C" (that was actually his provisional name back when the final parts of the story were planned).
While the 3 Abyssalis Kings are homogeneous as a "Trinity", they are also in a tense relationship as they compete to see who will "obtain the True Throne". In episode 27, Geryon's ritual caused a slight distortion in the Ouroboros ring, creating a gap large enough for one person. The smart Gigist seized the opportunity to descend to Earth first, seeking a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone aka Nijigon, to give himself an advantage over the other two. That's why Germain talked about "a punishment for stealing the march on us".
And so, Gotchard's "Founder of Alchemy" is called Germain, also known as "Abyssalis King A". He's able to create enhanced lifeforms called "Golems" from inanimate objects. At first, there was no spell chanting in the golem creation scene, but they deliberately added the always-used "As from the One are all things born" spell to emphasize that this Abyssalis King is the "alchemist of the beginning" but also to show how cool the "basic spell can become the strongest if perfected" idea can be.
In the world of Gotchard, the Philosopher's Stone seems to be an alchemy item that has incredible power. According to Fuuga, "inside of the Egg Chemy lies a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone" which is also "the source of power of the Abyssalis Kings". And since Nijigon is a "fragment" of Gigist, this means that not only Nijigon, but each of the Kings has a fragment of the Stone. In other words, the Philosopher's Stone was divided into 3 fragments, with each fragment given to a Abyssalis King. Hence the homogeneous "Trinity". Each has received 33% of the stone, and the last 1% is Nijigon, the Egg. That's why Gigist wanted to get Nijigon so much: by getting that extra 1%, he would have surpassed the 2 other Kings.
"Abysallis King B" Gaelijah is the Stargazing Abyssalis King who can read "fate" and see into everything by having mastering "Astrology" within the alchemy system.
This trinity of Abyssalis Kings (Germain of Love, Gigist of Understanding (Intellect), and Gaelijah of Fate) was almost entirely created by Akiko Inoue.
Matsuura deliberately added a transformation code for Clotho Rebis ("Abyss Gear") because he always wanted to have a "Abyss Gear" (Clotho) vs "Ironize" (Lachesis) scene.]
With Gigist's current situation, I wonder if he might pull an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" and try to strike a temporary alliance with the heroes (Spanner specifically) to take out his siblings and seize the top spot again?
there was a great chunk of lore. and even on top of all that, it totally tracks with the theme. geryon disregards the world because he sees himself as not part of it. probably why he began his whole thing, learning you are a homunculus.
and with gigist, him having that overbearing older brother figure totally makes sense why he would go after control, as he has little in the dynamic.
and the whole thing with nijigon and the stone just makes me wonder how hotaro will use it. cause he probably will cause nijigon would just trust him.
9:48 this is a pretty interesting question and I'm not too sure how to answer it on the one hand yes he is a victim of abuse but on the other he has cussed a lot of pain it's this type of nuance that I think adds a lot to the show themes personally on my side of the spectrum I feel like willingness to change is the deciding factor if you don't have to will to change their a pretty high chance that you are not going to grow and change that's what I personally think of this question
i mean we are seeing some of that willing to change being shown in the sisters,
really dig how the show is being nuanced with its empathy, but it still can make total sense to kids, who we should always remember are the target of these show.
You kinda opened my eyes to the idea of the trios being important and the thing about gigist being treated badly
I don't quite give him my sympathy but it is worth thought
Also you should absolutely play wandersong at some point
yeah, not saying we need to be calling gigist a sweet baby boy who did nothing wrong, just think a little more of the circumstances.
i think i own wandersong, so perhaps one day
The kings have a twisted/confused sense of things. Gigist thinks he knows empathy and the new guy love. Dunno about the woman one though.
Valvarad and Majade NEED upgrades cos they're jus constantly getting bodied.
Seriously Rinne, you have a potential of ten whole forms yet only ever use SunUnicon and MoonCerbereos. Granted Wind uses BlackBahamut but that's still 7 other forms to use.
Heck why not try her Level 10s in conjunction? That'd probably make her power insane, though said Chemy ARE the OGs so are very powerful.
Part of me wonders what would happen if Valvarad used the Repli Chemies instead, though that would require Repli Madwheel being evolved into Repli Machwheel.
yeah i dig how the kings are a twisted version of our three, hotaro love and kind heart, spanners analysis, so how will the third king and rinne interact.
yeah the lack of forms is really feeling like a budget thing. hope we see more tho
