I just had some funny thoughts on Ferdinand.
Itās a real pity that anime only watchers would not be able to understand and appreciate just how crazy Ferdinand are. When looked at certain angle, he could be said to be stern and unforgiving, while on another angle, he could be said to be crazy.
Remember that one time he threaten Maine to stop recklessly using her mana or not heās going to tie her to a chair and made her listen to him describing gory description of how people who cannot control their mana die?
Also, remember the time he actually do so to Willfried because heās annoyed by the kidās whiny and bratty temperament? Honestly, when compared to how Ferdinand treat others, he could be said to be spoiling Maine!
Also, remember the time in 2nd year House of Lords where the royals were attacked on the graduation ceremony/Territories War? Yeah, Ferdinand blasted that Turnis Baphalem into ashes using high density of magic power in a crowded space. Heishitz shoutedĀ āWho the hell use such destructive magic in this place?!ā and then Ferdinand calmly replyĀ āMe.ā It was so comical because after that, the other side could not even complain. Because the one that done it is Ferdinand. LOLĀ
Also, the time when Ferdinand was fighting with Airvermeen and Gervagio? Haha that was priceless. The Goddess said thatĀ āThere shall not be any killing.ā and then Ferdinand opt to kick the man in the stomach, bound him with magic rope, rendering him immobile and useless to even continue competing with Maine. That was truly priceless! Airvermeen could only watch and express how scummy he thought Ferdinand was!! Hahahaha!!
Thereās also the time when he threaten the royal family into submission. Aub Ehrenfest, Aub Dunkelfelger, Zent Traokvar and everyone there legit get gastric pain that day. Ferdinand just keeps on shooting bullets with his every words, not even caring about any of them.
Thereās many more instances where I think Ferdinand were so badass-ly crazy and just outright humorous but putting that aside, after rereading the webnovel and light novel, I am once again reminded how good he treats Maine. Seriously, like when we got comparison, itās just impossible to ignore.Ā
First, he provide her potion/medicine for free even though he charges everyone else, including his own brother. Second, He listens to Maineās opinion even though theyāre very weird and will explain everything to her. He could touch Maine no problem even though he avoid physical contact with human as much as possible (Heck, he love to play with her cheeks.). Third, he made sure to think about her feelings and made sure heās there to calm her down when sheās sad. (Gyuu! OMG I love it!!) Fourth, he made sure to take care of her family even when after heās gone. (AKA arranging Damuel as intermediary.) Fifth, he made her many amulets and accessories even though he didnāt even put any effort for his fiancĆ©e's engagement stone. (He legit made Maine a talisman hairpin instead of the engagement stone before leaving for his engagement. What the hell? yeah we hate Dietrinde but for those who didnāt know the inside story, thatās just weird Ferdinand.) Sixth, heās considerate to Maine when he knows Maine hates seeing blood. Every time things got bloody heād cover her with his sleeve. Seventh, he let Maine into his hidden room. Thatās private space yo! Not even family members went into each otherās hidden room.
Thereās many more but I could not name them at the top of my head. Anyway, as obvious as it is, Iām a Fermai shipper. Hopefully we get that sweet season 3 soon!
