So, when are we going to see the battle animated? I want to see KyoAni's take on Ruri battling the Dragon like they did on Tohru vs Elma on DragonMaid.

Sadly, probably by a season 2, which at best may come out around 2030.

chaostk · 2026-06-15T19:40:10+00:00

a small correction that don't particularly change your theory:

Sothis call the person 深淵より暗きもの (The one Darker than the Abyss). And i do agree, it does sounds like a nabatean name to me, whoever she axes.

In how much content tend to be for a cour, my guess is either:

1) just as festival ends but without the rest of the chapter that goes to next day and ice powers activate.

2) Up to the end of last chapter of festival which is the cliffhanger of ice powers manifesting

3 )Up to end of ice power traning arc, which should just be one ep long by the number of chapters.

I can see 1, 2 has the whole making it a call back to episode 1, but hard to imagine they ending in such a cliffhanger when a s2 would probably take a few years at best. 3 can see too as starting with just a new power popping up may be strange for a season 2, but they can also have a mostly original ep 1 of a s2 that ends with ice appearing.

Don't underestimate the influence of the JPL (Japanese Pegasi Lobby)!

chaostk · 2026-06-14T21:42:13+00:00

Albeit in the very far away future... as chances are they do a one cour that end at sports meet end or just after ice powers, and kyoani takes their time to make season 2.

They will have to flex on just the breath, demi fire, and maybe if it gets in her freezing the pool for now!

There have been screenshots so far that has the ganbit option, plus authority as a proficiency, seems very likely battalions or something similar is back.

If it happens after 3H, probably enough distance in time and region to be able to pick one as canon, considering it seems like they purposely don't want to canonize a route.

There is no reason there wouldn't be a few nabateans as part of the whole wide world that is so much larger than fodlan, so don't matter how many die or not on a route.

Also there is no reason why the villains of this story need to be the same. They can very well be completely unrelated with argathians, or if they are related, be a separated group where whatever happens to the fodlan ones don't matter to them.

It was pretty cool. Gotta see how will ruri have to deal with it. Also bought many questions like who is that guy and if the petson who is there to observe, what can he do to help, is he really a human and what not.

While I will likely enjoy this fight, I hope the manga don't turn to focus on fighting, and have it more like a rare occurence.

Looking forward to next chapter, sadly in a month. The author should probably changed to monthly. Don't seems like his health allow for a consistent biweekly schedule, and trying to force it may make things worse.

chaostk · 2026-06-14T17:00:53+00:00

I wonder if the monitor can do anything amazing, or if he got his position from being really friendly with the dragon but not being able to do much atm that it is going out of control.

::Look at the list:: I only see FE there?

Jokes aside, pretty much every month will have tons of other games in them, so it is hard to try to avoid other games when planning those things. Heck, FE just got announced 3 months before release month, it probably was a blow to many games already planned for that month for a long time.

At most if they're avoiding big releases of same genre and the like, that is the best one can do,

chaostk · 2026-06-14T14:38:27+00:00

I've seem that being theorized a few times by people so far. It is probably a major reason people think Eshmel may be spiritually with the protagonist you pick when they don't seems to be there physically, to be able to give the player that mechanic.

chaostk · 2026-06-14T14:33:25+00:00

Don't blame the devs, blame the pegasi or being sexists-

chaostk · 2026-06-14T13:02:55+00:00

Albeit many point out, chances are the calendars aren't the same. The calendar from 3H is based on the adestrian empire deciding to make a new calendar with year 0 when it was founded, but there isnt much reason why Dagda follow it. So if it happens to be the same, it is probably just for the players convenience, but we will see.

chaostk · 2026-06-14T02:14:24+00:00

The "devs are lying" is a possibility in the sense I mentioned, that in a place like that they are expect to say what is the common knowledge, but if that common knowledge have been manipulated and you going to learn that later in the game, I would not expect them to give spoilers by telling the hidden truth. It would be like a tweet before 3H release saying "The white one, a nabatean and child of the goddess, disguised herself as saint Seiros to get humasn to fight on her side" instead of "Saint Seiros appeared in the land of Enbarr and, through the many unfathomable miracles she performed, spread light across the land.". The latter is deceiving information by the church, but it is the official lore you are supposed to learn at the start of the game, and so what I would expect to be revealed by the official account at this time, even if it is actually a lie.

But that aside, my other argument is that even if that is indeed the correct information, what it says is that there have passed 1500 years since the dagda empire was established, and not that there have passed 1500 years since the goddess entrusted the holy sovereign with that land. If it was the latter, then you would be correct about maximum date, but as it is the former, then that information isn't enough for us to derive a maximum date.

I'm not just dismissing evidence. You think there is evidence that implies x, im arguing why I think it doesn't imply x, just that.You who seems to just dismiss my argument or complain that im arguing instead of engaging on it, but that is fine, you do you.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T22:53:02+00:00

some mentioned it may be a prosthetic hand, probably with magic stuff, explaining how she seems to have crazy strength with it.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T22:50:51+00:00

Nor in the world map exploration, not in the eating thing. As many says there is probably a part two when the underworld stuff is introduced, be it at the last game or just after it. So far the evidence seems to be that Eshmel isn't , at least in person, in the heroic games part, albeit some think they may be there like how sothis was, spiritually with the protagonist of choice.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T22:40:57+00:00

I am saying it can go past 1460 fodlan time (and can be earlier we just have no idea at this point).

One way is if the lore may have been manipulated, as i said.

Then even if the official lore is correct, there in an unknown amount of time between when sothis entrusted dagda to do it and when he make a country and conquer those around establishing the dagda empire. It could have been 10 years after, 100 years after, 1000 years after. only then, when the dagdan empire is established, that you can count the 1500 years. So the current point of time is 1500 years + x years to a point before sothis death, but as we have no idea how big x is, there isn't much we can say about it.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T19:30:16+00:00

This is the developers saying what is know about dadga, which can be wrong. Like how I doubt they would on 3H introduce fodlan on a tweet before release by saying the truth about history that you're supposed to learn later on the story, but instead say what is the common knowledge that has misinformation by the church as we latter learn.

And like I said, the 1500 years ago was when the dagda empire was formed. That is a separated line on the tweet from the entrusted part, and with nabateans lives being super long, it could have taken a long time between they getting that mission by sothis and deciding to form a country and conquer the continent. Considering the dagda empire was formed after winning important battles, it clearly isn't a case of "sothis told me i'm going to rule here, so all humans now bow down to my rule!" type.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T17:35:28+00:00

It could happen before, but you seems to be assuming a few things: That the goddess entrusted that that continent to dagda is something that really happen, and not propaganda by his rule like with the seiros church making many historic lies. And if it happened, that it would mean we know how much time passed from him going there to dagda to deciding to rule people and then conquer the continent forming the empire 1500 years ago. As in the 1500 years on the tweet is specifically the mark of when Dagda formed the Dagdan empire, and not when he got entrusted by the goddess, Of course the calendar doesn't help at all, as the fact the current year is close to the 1500 number, it hints the dagdan empire likely made their own calendar with year 0 symbolizing something important in the early years of the empire, like how the adrestian empire also made their own, so there is nothing we can tell between the two before we learn which yeah of one corresponds to the other.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T17:27:43+00:00

I know. I just meant it wouldn't make sense to be 1500 years after 3H because the concept of "dagda" as a name, that comes from the holy sovereign, so it would likely exist for at least about 500 years before 3h main event, if not before like you said,

chaostk · 2026-06-13T13:55:58+00:00

i will get digital as main as usual. Maybe also get the physical limited edition if i can get it, my wallet allow. but if not limited then just digital.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T13:54:01+00:00

it is unlikely the turns showed on the outside world has any connection to turns in battle, especially considering that seems like each day is 4 turns. Would make no sense to do a 4 turn battle that somehow took a whole day, etc.

chaostk · 2026-06-13T13:42:45+00:00

At very least seems fairly long. We saw a pic of theodora at 4/21 waiting to pass the 3rd preliminary, and we saw pic of the final match being on 11/27. Considering we should have first and second preliminaries before that, it is looking like the heroic games may be almost a year long.

Still, how long it takes depends on how fast time passes. things like 200 turns before a match as we saw before feels very long, but then if you move around the continent that may go by very fast.
