Oop- seems like Julius is having rumblings of his concern at Crusch being the King 1st appear here prior to Camp Formation bringing it to the forefront.

Lol Julius so oblivious to social boundaries. He’s lucky Felix understands he is like a little kid.

Lovely to get lore on Volakian rankings and confirmation this dude is indeed a Divine General.

Now. A thing I’m finding interesting here is how Julius is thinking about this society as purely a meritocracy predicated on power. He’s not wrong honestly. The society does seem like that.

Well hellooooo there Marcos, saying such things to Felix on his masculinity. Damn. Rickert got wrecked in LN 4 by Crusch for prodding at Felix’s issues but seems Marcos was able to just be fine saying this since no Crusch around.

Honestly though, I’m not shocked Marcos holds the stance he does on Felix and the refusal to conform to the feminine identity Felix has since Marcos in the LN 4 epilogue was firm about calling Felix his masculine name. This scene merely made Marcos’s disdain more explicit.

Hmmmm. Think I’m gonna disagree with Tappei on this one. I think pre-amnesia Crusch is more interesting to me. And not because she’s cooler or something (because Ex 1 clearly shows she is still a dense gal) but because there’s something about a firmness in identity that I find captivating.

Tbh I get Crusch a bunch here. I don’t really think about the clothing I wear in the confines of my place despite living with others.

I… okay. I guess I can understand why Crusch feels like a “fallen person” compared to her old heights? And objectively, she sorta is? However this new Crusch has gained some things that the old Crusch was patently unable to do.

Uh-huh, SS’s made it clear but hooooh boy. Tell me she won’t turn it off at some point afraid of Felix’s answer at something. I bet she will and it’ll be such a disaster.

Aaaaaand there goes Tappei pointedly not addressing the post-amnesia Crusch. Yup, yup. Everything I just said above feels more validated. Felix gonna be suuuuuuuch a big problem.

About what I thought, yeah.

Well, I’ll chime in here. I’ve not exactly obviously had the events Arc 3 Subaru had to deal with. However, I can confidently say that once hit with a sufficient amount of very traumatic events back to back in a cascading sequence your brain generally indeed does tend to shrink down to something more child-like.

It’s not a full regression into a child-like mind though despite what I’ve said. It’s more something where the section of one’s emotional regulation (or ability to emotionally read what people are implying/saying) will become as murky as a child’s in an effort of the brain to protect you from tangential things and allow you to fixate on the main root of the issue that caused one to enter this protective state of mind.

That… Tappei lowkey highkey dodged the question on what impression Crusch was picking up from Subaru initially via her DP? Huh.

We know from previous Crusch Q&A I did that Crusch has trouble reading Reinhard w/ her DP too, so I’m curious if generally people whom have come back from death are hard for Crusch to discern unless they are spiking with a particular feeling engulfing their entire being like madness for Arc 3 Subaru.

Crusch Karnsten the woman you are

Urgh the 2nd (and final) Joshua Q&A I wanted to cover has a broken link.
