(L) Druaga no Tou: Sword of Uruk (second season)

[stormy001_M1A2]

Honestly speaking, this is a bittersweet episode for me. It is sad yet uplifting since there is proper farewells this time. Nicely written and thought out, kudos to novelist of Full Metal Panic! for pulling this story well.

[Key Board]

Did Cumu give up on life?

That's just... sad

[stormy001_M1A2]

He is more like want to spend more time with his sister. Which is perfectly fine either since he has no real reason to go up like the rest. I think family matters more to him than personal glory.

[SuperKnuckles]

I'm just curious as to why and how Henaro stuck with Jil's group, though it seems that she really was a helpless bystander. It's sorta sad to see that she's not a clumsy moé after all..

[technomo12]

is it me or i am finding that artificial human girl with the pink hair kinda CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well not cute and awesome as coopa but HELL she is cute hahaha

[-Sho-]

Just watch episode 7 :

Great as always , this episode was nice !
Ahmey was beautiful . And good to see the others too .
Coopa's voice piss me off a bit .
Utu was sad , he want to spend his time with the others .
So the guy was Herano's father . "I ...... never loved you " ouch

Next ep : Jil will encounter Neeba , well they are fast ...

[Deathkillz]

ep 7

Spoiler:

So Henaro turned out to be the daughter of Pazuzu and is trying hard not to follow in his footsteps. But chances are she will end up being another betraying character in the series which seems to raise her death flag (for me anyway). Utu has something to say to that though.

Another lovely episode from the series, having old faces come back was a treat, and Ahmey...BWAAAAAAA~ all over again ;______;

Uragon seems to have picked up a stray loli who will start clinging to him like a child. But damn this psycho girl is scary when she snaps

As for Jil...he still likes Kayaa which makes me think that fatina will get the short end of the stick again.

Hazard a guess. She waiting at Kelb's bar and grill for her own party while waiting for the Golden Knights to capture Ki. Probably didn't figure in her plans that she'd be heading out so soon, on the opposite side and having to deal with 4 Genocide Robots from the Future at the same time Neatly explains why the girl was so whiny at the start.

Episode also has clues why Kaaya and Neeba would have stayed so long at this place. I suspect Kaaya found the key first, had second thoughts on leaving her crew behind and decided to hang out a little while longer. Since everything there exist in King Gil's head, there's going to be some legendary loot to be had in one of the boxes anyway.

Time to look for that Burning Holy Avenger+10

The downside is the pissed off look on Neeba's face at the start of New Game.

lsn't that great though? kaayaxjil is a wonderful thing that needs to be embraced

Question for all: Why do you favor either Kaaya or Fatina?

Some people have the mentality of sticking with the main character more, or should I say main character of the 1st season, rather than the side character. In S1 Kaaya was in our main spot light, which tends to grow attraction, while Fatina wasn't. So how would some feel if it wasn't Kaaya in the spot light in S1, but rather it was Fatina?

Some people like support the Kaaya and Jil thing because they were the main focus in S1 and dislike Fatina because she was clinging to Neeba. Since Kaaya seemed like the innocent thing and Fatina didn't, people grew a liking to Kaaya instead of Fatina. Guys have this thing of wanting a virgin or an innocent kitty, maybe because they want to be the first and only person to corrupt them.

Ok, now lets look at this. Throughout nearly the entire S1 there wasn't any romantic relationship of any type between Jil and Kaaya until the very end. Nothing to bring about love, unless you're, or Jil, a person who becomes obsessed with the whole first kiss thing. There has been much more Between Jil and Fatina within the few episodes than Jil and Kaaya had the whole S1, not just more by a little but rather by alot. And they are continuously grow.

The whole Neeba and Fatina thing was next to nothing is just like a crush. So what if she was clinging to him and wanted more. She was only drawn to him for his aura of coolness he gave off. In real life, being cool or attractive is only a plus,it won't build or sustain a relationship. There was nothing special or significant between them. If the whole clinging thing is your issue, then apparently you need to get out more or something. With friends, with school life, there is a lot of physical contact, but it means nothing. Holdings, hugging, arm in arm, arm around waist, these are all no big deal.

So once again: Why do you like and support the girl that you do? This is just my curiosity looking for an answer....

[SkoolRumble4Ya]

Finally Jil and Neeba are about meet each other. I can see alot tension already.

[DragoonKain3]

Question for all: Why do you favor either Kaaya or Fatina?

Oddly enough, despite a hardcore shipper, I feel almost neutral on either these two. Right now though I'm leaning a bit towards Fatina, but only because S1EP1's dream seems to be quite prophetic.

(That dream's latest resemblance... there were four knights that said their names, but oddly enough, they introduced themselves as the three knights of druaga. It mirrors the 4 knights of Pazuzu, but technically you can really only count 3 since the fourth (the loli) seems to be batshit insane in the latest episode and actually turned against them.)

With the dream's track record to be on the mark so far, there's a good chance that the whole 'forget the princess and swear love to Fatina' bit might actually be true.

Anyways, vast majority of the time, canon possiblity is the least of my reasons as to ship a couple. Things is in Druaga though, I'm evenly divided between the main 2 LIs, and since everything else is equal, I'm jumping the bandwagon and go with the ship that currently has the most chance of winning due to early foreshadowings.

[DragoZERO]

Spoiler for Episode 7:

Overall good episode. It was an interesting twist of a challenge. Not so much killer monsters but the temptation of living peacefully there. Especially with old friends who come back to life. I'm glad to see Jil didn't waiver and kept his eye on the goal.

I don't think she has any feelings for him anymore. And I actually wouldn't mind him dying, surprisingly enough.

While there wasn't much direct time spent on Jil & Kaaya in the beginning the feelings were still there. And its hard to develop a new relationship with someone when you have strong feelings for someone else who you can't let go of.


Next week will be good. A long awaited confrontation. Let's hope they don't disappoint, but so far its been really good.

Kaaya was the one who believed in Jil from the very start that he could climb that tower, she gave him the confidence that he was lacking after everyone ignored him when he was asking for members in episode 2. She also gave him a reason besides wanting to play hero to climb the tower. Had Kaaya not climbed the tower with Jil fatina would had never developed these so called "romantic feelings" for jil.lt's clear that about the end of the first season kaaya has fallen for jil and is burdened by lying to him and the others...as she apologisez to him in tears to him for not being straight foward with him and for her future betrayal.
As for fatina...
l don't think she loves jil, seeing as she's not over neeba. All the hate she is feeling because of how she was betrayed is clouding her feelings for him. l liked that fatina was clingy to neeba it just shows how much she loves that a-hole, so l had no problem with her being clingy. Aside from episode 1 s1....there have been no development in the romantic department for jilxfatina in 18 episodes...do l really can't see how the two will end up together. As for jil and kaaya they have had their moments and it seems that jil clearly isn't over kaaya and that kaaya did what she did to protect him in s1 and that she as well misses jil.

Hopefully next episode gives us a clear cut answer as towards if she does or not. l would hope she does...that way she ends up with someone and l would prefer it be that a-hole then jil....even though he doesn't deserve it..l want a happy ending for fatina but not at the expense of kaaya's happy end...

btw, if neeba is doing this for revenge or his mother as we saw some scenes of him crying...most likely over his dead mother laying in bed....u would think he would had been happy to be there and seen his mother....but he seemed pissed in ep1 s2.

ln conclusion l like both girls but kaaya even more, because l feel there's more development between the two.

I think Fatina is over Neeba. The question is really how strong are her feelings for Jil. There are plenty of times where I would have expected a bigger reaction from her and see her trying to be close to him during the trip.

I also think Fatina is over Neeba, though not completely. It just looks like she's covering up her true feelngs for him, that's all. Saying that, i also believe that she wasn't lying when she talked about her feelings towards Jil. Some would say that's just another way for her to cover up the Neeba thing, though she doesn't seem like the type who'd lie about that. She's shown on more then one occasion that she cares for Jil.

[Sleepy Speculator]

I don't know much about this whole shipping war thing, but i don't think it's fair to say that there's 18 episodes of no Jil and Fatina relationship. Two episodes back Jil very foolishly would have run out into the open to get near Fatina had Henaro/Hecate not held him back. And they were holding hands in the dark if i remember correctly.

It strikes me that people are getting upset over something they know has got to go one way or the other and won't actually go one way or the other until a few episodes time. On the bright side another part of the puzzle whould be revealed next episode as Neeba and Jil clash, and hopefully we'll get to see just what's going on between these two.

All the canon fodder is dead the only contenders left in the mythical tower is Gremica and her mage, Jil's party, Uragon and the Loli knight, Ki/Ishara and Neeba, and the 3 knight/assassins Pazuz brought. (plenty of fights there, and there's still Gil sitting outside the tower)

Some resolution about their past would really be nice.

Spoiler for Episode 7:

Oh yeah.. we didn't see Ki at all. That was disappointing. And that headband looks horrible on Jil.

Somehow it reminds me of Tales of Phantasia's Cless, w/the armor and all.

And I speculate after its all said and done, Ki is gonna be the one to sacrifice her life/existence instead of Kaaya. I called it first.
