Much has been said on how much they understand each other.

The most intriguing detail was Silat's distrust of Daiba, referring to him as a man who knows no bounds and reminding the reader that he was Ganishka's trusted lieutenant. I want to know what he has up his sleeve.

The several pages focused on Isidro being upset that Guts is a boring sadsack right now was hilarious. Wild that anyone expects me to care about Isidro's feelings.

How long has it been since Rickert joined the Kushans???? It can't be more than a month, right? He's already speaking the language, like damn kid's smart.

Ultimately though I'm just disappointed yet again that Guts' berserk armour foreshadowing is still on hold. Come onnnnn I'm bored. I'm like Isidro except instead of begging Guts to fight and save everyone I'm begging him to just fucking kill some of his friends already.

Oh I've seen people wondering if Griffith is invading Kushan territory now but Silat wonders if that's the case when he sees Roderick's ship and Daiba is like, 'nah it's not likely, we're too far away.' So it sounds to me like if Griffith is going empire building now he's probably aiming for other countries first? I mean it could be foreshadowing + a hint towards the fast travel system tbf, but then it makes Daiba look pretty naive for not considering that as a genius astral-plane-understanding wizard inventor dude. Also I don't think using astral plane teleportation to skip over countries and conquer more distant lands is a good like, empire building strategy.
