It's Qryze

They: “Gilbert is a pedophile, this type of shows encourages these immoral acts”.

Me: Violet has killed hundreds of people, she was used as a tool, that encourages some kind of violence or mistreatment towards children?

They: It is fiction.

Hello guys, this is my first time doing this & of course, sorry for my english.

This is gonna be a small but very small analysis to realize “the truth”.

To get to the point,  one of the big question is: Is Gilbert alive or dead?

Episode 7: Analyzing a little Hodgins said that “he’s missing”, he said to Violet “While we didn’t find his body, we did find his ID tag under the debris and so, he was deemed missing in action”.

Episode 13: Violet goes to visit Gilbert’s mother. The nameless mother asks to Violet if Gilbert is with her, to which she responds “is with me” touching the stone that he gave her. After exchanging words the mother says “He passed away at the battle of Intense” and then Dietfried Bougainvillea (Gilbert’s older brother) says “That’s it. That is why you had her to come here, ins’t it, Mother?” as if he was remembering and stressing to his mother that that’s why she called her and that’s what she has to talk about(?) and then the mothers says “It was, Isn’t it?” so she tells to Violet that Gilbert is alive, inside our hearts.

The trailer: Going back to see the trailer I noticed that in the part when violet loads Gilbert in her arms, changes gently to the eye of Gilbert as if he were remembering and if we look very well we can see that he has a scar, a scar of his lost eye .

The theory is that Gilbert is alive, I do not know how but he is, he pretended his death so that Violet could live without having to obtain orders from him and she could be free and understand that she is a human, not a tool.

Gilbert went home to see his mother and his brother and told them to follow his “plan”, that’s why when Violet went to that house, the mother asked if Gilbert was with her and that is why Dietfried said that later.  

Gilbert also told Hodgins to tell Violet that he was dead and to take care of her.

However there's only one point people tend to overstimate, that is the one about the trailer where the eye with the scar can be seen. I love that trailer because it is very faithful to the novel, we can see Violet with those clothes that the playwright asked her to put on, same thing with her design in the brooch biting scene and those frames in which she uses her war weapon, an axe called "Witchcraft". Things that were not in the anime. So I wonder if Gilbert with that scar will be there in the next project. As I said, in my opinion that trailer doesn't look so linked with the anime script. It didn't really follow the novel and the character of anime Gilbert was quite superficial, but I hope the new project will give him justice. It has a great potential, the developers can attempt in something way greater and clever than the novel script, if they want to.

(they can't really erase a character just like that, can they?)

Now I just remembered when Cattleya saw Dietfriet for the first time and mistook him for Gilbert, so I wonder what Hodgins really told her. If he told her "Gilbert is dead as a doornail" she wouldn't have mixed the two of them (maybe?).

Omg LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY SCENE THAT THEY HAVE TOGETHER

And of course my man is alive BUT ALL EP 13 WAS LIKE REWROTE DIFFERENTLY FROM THE NOVEL AND LIKE IM NOT OKAY

THE novel is a fuckin blessing and GILBERT IS A FUCKIN HERO AS MUCH AS VIOLET AND I LOVE THEM
