#radamantys

I saw that Lost Canvas was on Netflix and I decided to watch the anime again. And that led me to read the manga again

I suffered again that there was never a third season of the anime and my beloved Rhadamanthys never appeared on the screen.

I always loved the loyalty that Rhadamanthys and Pandora had for Hades and how that always united them, to the point that Rhadamanthys was also loyal to Pandora.

Rhadamanthys knelt before Pandora, swearing allegiance to Hades and HER.

I'm going to start with the things that happened in the battle in atlantis. They chapters in the manga go from 102 to 107

Rhadamanthys obeyed Pandora because he wanted to, he really didn't feel obliged to obey Pandora because she was someone close to Hades or because she was his commander. If that had been the case, he would have obeyed the twin gods who were Hades's advisers and were also ranked higher than Pandora. But Rhadamanthys never wanted to obey the twin gods and neither did he want to obey Pandora when she was under their influence.

When the twin gods were sealed was when Rhadamanthys joined the war, beginning to obey and protect Pandora because she was no longer under the twin gods influence.

Kardia even mocked Radamanthys' obedience to Pandora, calling him a lap dog to provoke him. But Radamanthys told him that: "yes, he was a loyal dog, and he was proud of that"

In Atlantis, Rhadamanthys saved Pandora's life. But he took all the blame for the failure in the mission, acepted that the defeat at Atlantis was because he did not beat Kardia of Scorpio and took the punishment that Pandora could have gotten. Because in reality, the collapse of Atlantis and Unity escaping and help Athena happened because of Pandora.

Unity were in the same place as Pandora, so Rhadamanthys had a chance to stop Unity and Athena would not have fixed her ship. But Rhadamanthys prefer to save Pandora.

It's funny because before that, Scorpio had already asked Radamanthys, If he could choose between following Degel or killing him, what would he do? (Degel went after Pandora to stop her). So Kardia, practically asked him if he preferred to kill his enemies or help Pandora?, Radamanthys said that what bothered him was failing in his mission. But when Atlantis collapsed, Rhadamanthys had a chance to fulfill his mission by stopping Unity (so Unity wouldn't help Athena fix her ship) or save Pandora. And Rhadamanthys preferred to save Pandora even though that meant failing his mission.

In Atlantis, Radamanthys demostrate that, Pandora was more important than his mission, all the time he was by her side he protected her. And even if they failed in their mission because of Pandora's mistake. Rhadamanthys never blamed Pandora, Instead, he felt that Pandora didn't succeed in the mission, because he failed (he felt it took time to defeat Scorpio and could not prevent Aquarius follow Pandora) So he took responsibility for the failure, he let Pharaoh (and Alone) punish him. And he continued to support Pandora by making his army follow her orders, while he struggled to control the blood of Hades in his body.

After episode 107, Rhadamanthys does not appear for a while, until chapter 182, When his body was finally able to adapt to the blood of hades.

Valentin thought that he was the one who knew Radamanthys best, and that without Hades, Rhadamanthys was no longer going to obey Pandora and was going to cut ties with her. But that did not happen and Valentin did not understand why... As I said before Radamanthys, does not obey Pandora because of the position she had in the army.

Radamanthys obeyed Pandora because he found his equal in her.. They both felt that they only existed, by and for Hades. Pandora didn't even believe that other spectrums understood the devotion she had for hades dedicating ALL of her existence to him. That is why Rhadamannthys had no problem swearing loyalty to Pandora, he knew that all the decisions she made were designed by and for Hades, without her having any ambition or desire other than serving and exist for the good of Hades.

Both work together to fulfill the utopia of Hades

"If he has sort of been like the edge of the sword, she’s been at the very, very tip of the sword saying like, 'That’s where we gotta go.'

This is a phrase is from JDS the producer of Voltron but I feel that this phrase also applies to summarize the relationship of Pandora and Radamanthys

The loyalty that Radamanthys and Pandora had for Hades united them

Radamanthys obeyed Pandora because he found his equal in her..

Radamanthys recognized that Pandora's existence was the same to his. They both felt that they only existed, by and for Hades. And Radamanthys fought Alone for Pandora and Him.

"They were like the sword of Hades who only only exist to help him fulfill his Utopia: Rhadamanthys has been like the edge of the sword, Pandora’s been at the very, very tip of the sword saying like, -That’s where we gotta go-.’'

That desire of both of them to exist and serve their god. It made them have a very symbiotic relationship in which they needed and looked for each other, when they needed help or guidance.

Rhadamannthys knew that all the decisions Pandora made were designed for Hades, without her having any ambition or desire other than serving and exist for the good of his god. Following Pandora was the closest thing to following Hades.

And Pandora had no problem with Rhadamanty's devotion not being directed at her. Because, she didn't want devotion for herself, she wanted devotion for Hades, and in fact, she was angered when a Specter was more loyal to someone other than Hades

(Pandora let the Sylphid of basilisk die and she don´t care because he was more loyal to Radamanthys than to Hades, and Rhadamanthys did the same as Pandora, he ended up killing Valetine for joining Alone, because Valentine devotion was for Rhadamanthys and not for Hades)

Pandora wanted someone who understood her, who knew what it meant to dedicate her entire existence to her god Hades and who will accompany her on that path. And Rhadamanthys was that person.

Without Hades awakening, neither of them felt their life made sense, but Pandora was saddened by the magnitude of the sacrifice Radamanthys made for Hades, so that he could fight the next holy war with her lord.

With the canvas of Athena shattered and without Hades, Pandora felt that it was okay to die, at least she was going to keep Rhadamantys company, the only person who made her feel less alone from the first day she met him, that he was someone who always understood her, protected her, supported her and did not judge her.

Despite the fact that it hurt Pandora, how far did his sacrifice go for the ideals they both shared. Rhadamanthys ultimate sacrifice he did was for her. Rhadamanthys saved her, not just because of his loyalty to Hades, he saved her because he wanted her to live.

Always love, that Rhadamanthys only used his wings as shield. His roar and his fist were to fight for the ideals of his god but he always use his wings to protect Pandora.

she didn't want to live in a world alone and as a human, but she was going to try to live to respect the sacrifice that Rhadamanthys made

Their end always made me bittersweet, because they both only existed for Hades and not having their god, both did not feel that they had a purpose to continue fighting after Rhadamanthys broke athena's canvas... But between them, they found a new purpose to continue until the end, Rhadamanthys purpose was to give Pandora a purpose to live.
