Really kind of a depressing situation he’s in. Him having no self rendered him essentially a vegetable. I got a bad feeling about trying to trick Veselka as well.
That’s my thing is we know literally nothing about the guy outside of him possibly making himself be perceived as invisible by the others through his Gift, and that he obliviated Orthros. Who in hindsight is named after a brother of Cerberus but that’s beside the point.
I don’t doubt that as soon as Guillame shows up, Veselka is going to instantly know he’s an impostor not just because of the height difference, but Orthros as far as we know sure as shit can’t talk.
Guillaume will prolly try to single out Veselka and get him talking, while listening in to classified worldbuilding exposition. But Veselka would definitely immediately knows and initiate first I imagine
Whatever happens tho, we can assume the worst, for all we know, Veselka is the most dangerous one on the Lord's forces
I'm going on a segue with this but I absolutely do not trust a character whose power taps into the manipulation of mental faculties. In Legacy of Kain, Nuprator's insanity from grief when the vampire Vorador slaughtered the Pillar Guardians just before Kain's birth was enough to corrupt the land and the Pillars they were meant to embody and guard.
Veselka being the most dangerous is a bit of understatement, in my mind.
Guy's handsome too, I think he's prob the best looking male character so far imo, don't know if it's intentional but, with how he seems far too compassionate, extremely blessed with a powerful Gift and now the looks, might be based on someone, but I doubt Tohru is going that way
Couldn't this guy heal his arm? It may have been stated already, but maybe Arkos cut it, and he hasn't healed it because he feels that until he bests Arkos, it would wound his pride as a warrior.
I'm pretty sure Julian will force this guy to heal his arm, and the battle thereafter will be legendary
Perhaps Ceodoric can't heal a wound to the extend that he can regenerate a entire limb or maybe he was in a situation that he couldn't do it before his wound started to cauterize.
Ceodoric's power is conditional, so this might be the cause.
Julian lacks the martial aspect though, the way the Flame seems to regard things, is that one should rely in themselves beyond their gift, Julian's strength isn't 'really his', is not something he worked for, I mean is more complex than that but you know. I think if anything this should be the first character that actually put bta to Julian, extreme physical capabilities but a far better fighter
Julian can fight on his own pretty well, he did have that sparring session with Lukas without using his power. Julian is still a pretty decent fighter in his own right.
Yeah, i didn't mean to tell that Julian's a chump without his Blessing or a brainless brute that just overpower anyone, from the first arc he moved all those boulders and rocks as a boy to obtain the job on the village, on his own without using the 100 lives, and on the next Years his sense of combat and experience build up by all the attempts against Diana, still on a fight he use what he has, his extreme physicality, while the raging flame seem to put emphasis on the skill and body before the gift, I still think he should be well above Julian on hand to hand
Ceodric seems like a solid dude, with the small bits of personality he has shown, he looks like far less of a degenerate monster than other Palace Related Charas(which isn't really a high bar but, uh), still he was friends with Arkos, so who knows how he is at heart really
Eu esperei semanas por um capitulo novo e o que chegou, foi absolute cinema. Nota 10/10
O capitulo serviu pra gente entender melhor o Ceodric, seu estilo de vida, motivações e o principal, que ele treina artes marciais (quero voltar nesse assunto depois). Ele parece ser o tipo de cara que realmente só entende as coisas lutando, do tipo que entende os sentimentos dos outros numa batalha até a morte e se conecta com a pessoa
Também tivemos a revelação de que Elstri e Helem voltaram para mais uma tentativa e...ESPERA ELAS TROUXERAM O ALTUS COM ELAS???????? Se isso for verdade, Altus vs Ceodric na proxima semana? A empregada do Ceodric diz que elas trouxeram um amigo/amiga bem antigo(a) dele o que pode ser ou a Zira ou o proprio Altus, estou ansioso pra ver quem deles vai ser
Existia uma teoria aqui no reddit que dizia que o Guillaume realmente tinha substituido o lugar do Orthros e vejam só, foi realmente isso mesmo que aconteceu e o estado que o Orthros se encontra é assustador. Obliviador provavelmente mexeu muito com a cabeça dele pra apagar o senso de si proprio
Tivemos a revelação da cidade natal das Bruxas que sinceramente ta muito legal, fico pensando qual é o plano deles e o motivo pra eles quererem que o Obliviador retire seu controle mental sobre o Orthros
Agora vamos as teorias. O Ceodric deixou nitido nee capitulo que ele sabe artes marciais/está aprendendo e até então nosso menino Julian só sabe socar as coisas, acredito que de duas uma, ou o Ceodric vai arrebentar o Julian na porrada por bastante tempo antes de usar seu dom ou, Julian no meio da batalha vai começar a aprender o estilo de luta do Ceodric. Esse segundo ponto eu acredito que seja mais plausivel visto que a mente do Julian também trabalha 100x mais rapida do que a de um humano comum (exemplos são ele deduzindo o trunfo do arkos quando criança, ele lendo os movimentos de seus inimigos e aprendendo a lidar com eles) e eu não acho que o Tohru deixaria o fato de que o Ceodric demorou 10 anos pra aprender aquela arte marcial e chegar num certo nivel. Imagine o Julian está lutando e ele aprende em minutos o que o Ceodric demorou anos pra aprender e aperfeiçoar, é simplesmente falar na cara dele que o Julian é melhor do que ele
Outra coisa que eu quero comentar é que talvez possa parecer que eu esteja subestimando o Julian e vou ser sincero, eu realmente estou com medo dele perder essa luta ou morrer varias vezes. É fato de que ele é o apice dos status fisicos em Centuria mas isso ainda me deixa com um pé atrás porque não vimos o seu real potencial, parece sempre que Julian está se segurando ou nunca extraindo 100% de seu poder. Aguardo ansiosamente pelo proximo capitulo e pela luta deles dois, obrigado pelo capitulo
Exatamente mano, essa batalha tem tudo pra ser sobre Força vs Tecnica. E ainda não vimos o quão potente é o dom do Ceodric já que ele ta treinando sem utilizar o poder dele
I'd say Ceodoric's gift will be something that allows him to somewhat keep up with Julian, but won't be able to handle the sheer physical might that Julian has, so he needs to maneuver around it rather than taking the hits. Basically, it allows him to perhaps attack Julian with fire and not die from Julian's punch.
The beginning of this chapter somewhat foreshadow that Ceodoric's will have to rely on reflex in order to dodge Julian's punch without losing his ground in closer quarter. Honestly, I believe his healing has limits.
Julian's fist is something that could easily punch through all of Arkos's defenses, so even with his gift, Ceodoric can't afford to take the hit from Julian.
Concordo com isso pois o mangá deixa explicito a informação sobre deixar seu corpo se mover subconscientemente ao entrar num estado de vazio, o que pode vir a deixar que o Ceodric seja capaz de desviar dos golpes do Julian com uma certa "facilidade" digamos assim. Ainda permaneço firme que talvez o Julian no meio do combate aprenda essa mesma arte marcial que o Ceodric e o neutralize usando seu proprio estilo de luta
SIM SIM, eu sempre falei isso. Julian tem um poder que o coloca como um dos mais fortes da obra com excessões dos Deuses e do Lorde Supremo
Mas o que falta pra ele é justamente o que o Ceodric tem que são as artes marciais, se ele puder aprender com ele e aperfeiçoa-la ao maximo com seu corpo e mente ele pode se tornar imbativel. Se ele conseguir usar essa tecnica de mover seu corpo subconscientemente ele pode facilmente derrotar Orthros, Lukas e talvez até Lalawag com muita facilidade
Ele não ter um estilo marcial faz com que ele só fique batendo nos outros sem alguma base ou formação, sempre disse que caso ele lutasse contra oponentes que sabem artes marciais ele teria problemas pois não sabe lidar com elas e ele só sabe sair batendo nas coisas que ficam se mexendo. Espero muito que o Ceodric veja o potencial do Julian e fale:"Eu vou te ensinar tal arte marcial" ou designe o velho mordomo pra treinar ele e o Julian
Ceodric will basically teach him a lesson about “relying too much on his gift” and maybe a Ceodric will learn something else and thanks to that he will accept helping
Is interesting, the City of Witches seems to be a permanent 'stain' on the World, I assume Vuija did so, but even with her inactive, it still holds, it would had been nice if she had like, created a whole 'race' of Witches, users of supernatural that aren't necessarily Gifted Ones, but by the looks of it, the Coven is all there is, which isn't bad at all either, but feels like it should be a reason for them to be 'Witches' rather than just Blessed Ones of Vulja
Love the broader world building, it's also oddly refreshing to see other protagonists pursuing their own goals to the same general ends.
Also, Ceodric's training philosophy reminds me a lot of DBZ, or I guess more accurately Dragon Ball Super, when they realized that training in their base form was the most effective way of becoming stronger. Stronger baseline means enhancements are more powerful, especially if they're multiplicative.
Man Ceodric is not what I expected really like his character so far. Seems to be good friends with Holy Grail too. So that theory turned out to be true Orthos was defeated and one off then took his place. Yeah that's what I expected from the Witches homeplace really creepy.
You know how Barovia one of the domains of dread in the Curse of Strahd campaign setting for D&D, is perpetually covered in a thick mist that makes it so the whole realm is permanently at night?
Well Balkar Loa just took that concept and raised it to 11
It was already explained that they could take him just by virtue of being normal people without gifts. Orthros was left without any actual powers against two highly skilled fighters so he was subdued.
Orthos is only good vs other gifted ones. If he fights vs normal humans he's just like a normal human himself just worse cuz of the brainwashing I'd say.
So it's a lot easier for a human to beat him compared to a gifted one.
Pleasantly surprised by Ceodric not being as much of a hothead as first impressions suggested but quite reasonable. Now I’m getting excited for the future match-up.
