Omg I feel you! I expected more from Amihan's sarkosi... I hope at least they get to explain what happened to Ariana's own ivtre.
Agreed! Otherwise Iād be stuck thinking there are two ivtres occupying Arianaās body, her own and Amihanās. I doubt a switcheroo happened, with Arianaās soul moving on to Devas and Amihanās ivtre replacing the latter because upon coming back from the dead, we are treated to seeing a character who acts and sees herself as Ariana, but with the addition of Amihanās emotional baggage and fighting skills. So weāre seeing a situation where the person is Ariana most of the time, but Amihan sometimes bleeds through.
If a switch indeed happened, then Iād rather Ariana suffered the cliched amnesia (never mind that Alena already went through the same thing...and the whole of Encantadia as well during the time Lira was Kamby). At least weād know why Ariana lost all memories upon being revived -- because thatās really not Ariana anymore, thatās Amihan, and as we were told, sheād remember nothing when she went back to Encantadia. I wouldnāt like it, but I would be able to make sense of it. Canon sarkosi is just confusing for me as a viewer.
I feel bad for Ariana. Everyone else seems to think that what happened to her was a privilege, but try waking up one day with feelings and abilities that arenāt yours, and see how youād handle it. >.> The poor girl just wanted to help her tribe and her family then she gets killed and now she has to deal with all of this.
I mean, I get the appeal -- there are a lot of contrasts between the two: Amihan has several sisters and is the second eldest, Ariana has one sibling, an older brother at that; Amihan as queen is not allowed to marry, Ariana was supposed to marry someone she does not love; Amihan is a strong warrior and was trained by her father and by Aquil, Ariana does not know how to fight because her tribe does not allow women to handle weapons. So of course, for narrativeās sake sheās perfect for hosting Amihanās ivtre.
But the same circumstances could have been achieved by just having Amihan be reborn as Ariana, not her having gone to Arianaās body when the latter died. Thatās just shady. Ā At least if the former happened we could at least argue that there has only ever been Amihanās ivtre, just with a new vessel; and then I wouldnāt wonder if the whole sarkosi thing is just a case of an encantadaās body getting stolen.
