    I noticed some people had concerns, and all I can really say without spoilers is: watch and find out. This was written by a writer, and they know what they’re doing.

    They had damned well better, because I’m still pissed.

    From any reasonable point of view, Gabby should be dead now - preferably torn in half and made to suffer as much as all of the innocents she just murdered. But instead, she’s being treated like a child and carefully strapped onto a stretcher because poow widdle fing got shot by an arrow oh boo hoo.

    It’s going to take a LOT of pretty smart and entirely unexpected plot twisting to turn that into anything other than a travesty.

      Just keep in mind that you’ve only seen part of one side of the story there.

      Holy shit calm down.

      You think it’s normal to have someone walk down a mountain after getting shot in the leg and shoulder by arrows?

      I don’t think it really needs to be that smart or unexpected. The situation is supposed to be confusing, but it’s also supposed to make the audience (and Yuru) question why everyone is doing what they’re doing and whether anyone can be trusted at all.

        No - I saw virtually every adult in a peaceful village die horribly, screaming in agony, while their children screamed in terror.

        Much more normal than getting bitten in half.

        I’m sure much less painful too.

        I don’t think it really needs to be that smart or unexpected.

        I do.

        Unless what we’re heading toward here is gray-and-grey morality, so all Gabby needs to be is maybe just somewhat less evil, or even just somewhat cuter, than whoever she’s viciously murdering.

        Though I’d like to expect better of Arakawa.

          Daemons of the Shadow Realm episodes 1-2 spoilers

          Peaceful village? Perhaps. Have you considered that maybe it’s super weird that they had a fake Asa sitting in a cage in the keep? It’s obvious that not everything is exactly as it seems. Just look at Dera.
