Amati values Horo's debt to Lawrence as 1000 silver coins. So Amati is going to raise the money to pay off Horo's debt to Lawrence so Horo can be free to marry Amati. This does not mean however that if Amati pays 1000 silver coins to Lawrence that Horo will leave Lawrence and marry Amati. Horo is just free to do what she likes. Even though, in a way, she is already free to do that. But the problem lies in the Yoitsu situation and Horo's despair. |

At first, it was just a vaguely remembered rumor he never investigated because he never planned to go there. Then it was a legend. He wanted to learn the present status of Yoitsu before filling Horo with worry. Or at least be a bit more certain of what happened. It's understandable and reasonable, even if it blew up in his face this time. He doesn't actually have to make money - he could have sat on his thumbs. But that'd be missing an occasion to make a profit, which to a merchant is a no-no. Besides, he'd feel more secure if he could mess up Amati's plan - especially now. And guys, I really don't see what you reproach Amati. So he fell in love with Horo. Can you blame him? He's mistaken about her relationship with Lawrence - but that's essentially because she lied to him, and he chose to believe her. Heck, he's not that far off either - Horo and Lawrence aren't actually lovers. Last edited by Anh_Minh; 2009-07-25 at 04:01. |

You have to hand it to Amati though, he's willing to almost ruin himself financially for a chance at Horo. That's a very noble and romantic gesture, if not a bit extreme. Too bad Lawrence still isn't catching on.

Making Amati's plan go wrong shows that Lawrence does not trust Horo. |

Good episode, good episode. Horo's breakdown was sad to see, the girl really is afraid of being alone. I'm looking forward to whats going to happen next, it's interesting and a little sneaky.
You guys really are being a bit harsh on Amati, he's just a boy that's love struck. His methods are odd by modern standards though. Either way all this will be a good experience for him no matter the outcome!

Isn't the whole debt thing a scam anyway? Why is everyone in on it and talking about it like they take no moral issue with it and its just business? Horo lied about her situation and the gang is running with it to basically ruin Amarti. I wasn't much into the whole emotional part of the episode because I just had a big question mark over my head about the whole marriage ordeal, not to mention the victim being a generous friend/benefactor at that.

No, she really is in debt to Lawrence. For all those apples at the end of arc 1, and various expenses he's incurred since he met her. Of course, you have to subtract what she's helped him with - the bargaining for the pelts, and her share of the gold smuggling.
Though it's true her debt's not as big as what Amati's willing to pay, but he probably wanted to sweeten the pot for Lawrence. Give him an offer he couldn't refuse. Also, he's not going to be ruined: he couldn't be a good husband and provider as a pauper. He's confident he'll have not only the 1000 silver coins, but enough funds to continue his business. But yeah - as I said earlier, it's skirting dangerously close to a con. Lawrence is fortunate everyone can see it only happened because of Amati fell head over heels, and that he (Lawrence) never wanted that. |

For those of you terrified by the episode preview....
Spoiler:
And yeah, it can't be said enough how well Koshimizu handles her character, her and Fukuyama really bring to life an already very well written story. And for the question above: Yes she's in debt but nowhere near for the amount she quoted Amarti. So yeah, it's still a scam. |
