In retrospect, Octavia gains her strength through her honor and morals. From what i’ve seen, taken from an objective point of view, Arthur has proven himself to be a dedicated and ambitious leader of his tribe and it is that ambition and love of his people that gives him strength. I accept the otherness of the series and accept what they present at face value. I haven’t played the game and the anime doesn’t give any disclaimer saying you must play the game to understand the plot. Overall, Octavia is a fantastic addition to their group and all the characters represented themselves great in this episode.Īs far as Arthur/ vs Octavia powerwise is concerned, to me it makes perfect sense that Arthur would be equal or stronger than her based on the anime itself. And Arawan seems to understand both sides of this very well. But they also compliment each other, both in character and swordsmanship. And watching and hearing her style of swordsmanship against Arthur’s, it’s fitting that they should cross swords and have a mild difference in how they approach different issues. As for the episode, I really liked Octavia’s role as mentor to those two kids. I think Arthur and Octavia mesh well together. Posted in Tears to Tiara | 18 Comments » 18 Shouts From the Peanut Gallery In the continuing list of animation oddities that confuse me, Morgan’s giant throbbing ass tops the list Sudden random childhood memories and "Swords don’t lie?" Good lord, could they have thought up a more inane cliche just to shoehorn a little 15 second squabble in? I would have preferred it if they had fought the giant CG crabs again. Both the Morgan and Arthur scenes with her were particularly exhasperating. Octavia wandered around Avalon, made friends with everybody, and… that’s honestly it.
Mostly though, this episode went absolutely nowhere, and failed to be interesting or entertaining. Octavia was supposed to have some crazy agility and skills while Arthur was a clumsy brute… despite her actually being only marginally less useful than Llyr, thanks to getting crappy attack spells instead of healing. It’s not like it made much sense in the game anyway. It completely wrecks the transitive property of this show’s power levels. I’m pretty sure that I don’t particularly like Arthur suddenly being Octavia’s equal. At least the other three shows have the excuse that they’re entering their final arcs, but Tiara’s got another 14 episodes ahead of it.
