That’s interesting that Clind isn’t actually compatible with the authority. And the idea of having to provide compensation is quite cool.

So what did Petra give up, judging by the final line was it something to do with her liking Subaru? Wonder if we’ll ever find out.

So there we go, 100% confirmation that Clind has the authority of Melancholy (Tristitia, that’ll take some getting used to)

Excited to see more of Clind this arc

Not that I have any reason to doubt it but holy shit if what Ice posted is true, the translation for this chapter needs to come out right now. (Jk please take your time)

Oh shit her VA is Fairouz Ai, Jolyne my queen

The stick swinger himself!

So Wilhelm got a little bit of healing just to stay alive phew. As much as I like character dying when they should, I’m glad he hasn’t.

It’s quite funny how after arc 6-8 we were wanting Subaru to get a break, and now Al is just constantly under attack with little to no rest.

The lore drops continue by the sounds of it, man I can’t wait for the translations to come out for these recent chapters they sound really good.

Very happy with how arc 9 has been progressing, I’ll wait till it’s over before comparing it to arc 4/6 but it’s certainly seeming a contender for a top tier arc if it manages to keep this up

Oh shit it’s confirmed that Clind has the Melancholy witch factor. I remember one of the side stories showing his abilities and they seemed very authority like but I don’t remember. I’ve only read the new Golden Siblings not the original so not from that.

Wonder if we’ll get a side story on what happened to Hector then at some point

Why does it always feel like the people making the really great content have to fight to keep the fantastic moments in and then the people making slop can just do whatever

I wonder who Al’s “natural enemy” is. My first thought would be Subaru but obviously he’s trapped. So maybe Petra since she has the “ghost Subaru” but does Al know that. Or maybe Roswaal just because he’s so powerful. Not sure.

Also very curious to find out the proper relationship between Al and Emilia, he doesn’t want to hurt her and he’s not enjoying being confronted by her here either.

And was that Roy releasing someone’s name and/or memories? I wonder who, main guess would be Rem, Julius or Joshua. More likely one Rem or Julius for it to have impacted Emilia a decent bit. And then what did Roy mean at the end with the thanks for the treat, who did he eat?

Man Heinkel really is one of those characters that you just love to hate

Nonono there’s no way Wilhelm goes out like this, literally stabbed in the back by his own son. I ain’t believing it, he’s just out for the rest of this battle

Oh shiiiit Wilhelm vs Volcanica!?! I have to say I’m a little worried for Wilhelm here, I’m praying Tappei please don’t kill the goat.

Also Yae still alive nice

What an amazing fight. Wilhem is just such an amazing character, completely unfazed by Yae’s taunts and then using her own steel threads to his advantage at the end. Not sure if Yae is dead or just heavily wounded, but I don’t think we’ll be seeing her again any time particularly soon either way.

Would love to see this animated in 10 years

Earth Brand Arts, nice. I wonder what Al meant by that since Ice Brand Arts was made by Subaru that he has the rights to it as well…

The GOAT returns, Wilhelm my man. Yae’s not getting out of this easily if at all.

They’ve been putting the films into cinemas near me recently, saw Episode IV for the first time on the big screen and man it was such a cool experience.

His voice as Vader is such an iconic role and part of this franchise and he will be dearly missed. Rest in peace
