Agreed. It's not like NNT ended 15 years ago or there is any reason for the sins to have changed their appearance. Except for escanor who is currently dirt. And ban who maybe looks 40? Ok, there are two sins whose appearance could have changed during the timeskip.
On paper Arthur doesn't seem bad since the KoA are supposed to destroy the world, but the actions of the likes of Ironside and Talisker don't match.
I wasn't talking about who is stronger than who. Just saying that through Merlin they could know the strength of the Sins.
Ok my bad
Merlin beat Chandler and Cusack
To a degree, possibly. Since Arthur absorbed Cath, maybe he absorbed what Cath represented and that has influenced him, but that's just speculation.
And? Like i said those 3 have the better feats
From what we were given, Cath was Chaos' destructive desire personified. Being rejoined with the rest of Chaos, Cath probably wouldn't have that much influence, if any. Cath also cared nothing about humans, which wouldn't fit with what we know about the current Arthur. Of course, that doesn't mean another portion of Chaos can't be tainting Arthur, perhaps the part of Chaos that loved humanity more then it's other creations.
And Zeldoris will have a zenkai boost from the events in the movie. It seems that the SD trashed the sins around and Mel/Zel duo is the one defeating her.And? Like i said those 3 have the better feats
Not sure how that takes away from what I said about merlin and those three i mentioned
Idk I only read that somewhere in this or another thread. And yes but he absorbed him, is that still dying? I mean, Arthur couldn't kill him so instead absorbed him to defeat him.
It will come in France as well.
I always thought Nakaba had Elizabeth address the human part because of how glass cannon-ish that makes her and maybe eventually Tristan as well, whenever it suits the mangaka.
I'd like to give a friendly reminder, Nakaba doesn't always play the elements he borrows from these legends straight. He altered Gowther, gender-bent Merlin, he had a mention of a kingdom sunken by a huge wave(which in real life Arthurian lore is the fate of Lyonesse, before Tristan gets to inherit anything), but so far Liones is still standing(maybe lightbulb grandmama tries to tsunami it off the face of the Earth but Ellie goes "No, U!" in the movie, still trying to remember if it was a Cath piece of dialogue in the anime or one of the tales at the beginning of MnY that reminded me of sunken Lyonesse)
Sam, you've watched too much Sailor Moon...but I agree
Nakaba has taken liberties with anachronism in Taizai before, he can add characters that in the RL lore wouldn't even be born yet or would have a different backgorund than what he gives them, he's about as brave as BBC with his Arthurian characters and topics...that being said, I'm a bit iffy about Nakaba giving the male MC another bio brother(thinking of the Mel & Zel situation and how balancing the relationship developemnts between Mel and friends with the one between Mel and his bio family kinda failed and I don't think another go at the same situation would help the plot much) while he's busy bonding at about the same level with his male friends...if Nakaba starts with this again, one side is about to suffer from shabby development.I agree that the math doesn't really add up, but I was going by what Elizabeth herself stated in chapter 345 when she was pregnant with Tristan.
I assume Nakaba put the comment there to set up some sort of a future plot point. It could even be related to the issue of balance that you brought up. Perhaps the excess darkness is causing problems for him and he gets a powerup when he manages to balance it out with more goddess power.
I assume you're referring to the relevancy of King and Diane's kid, in which in case I wouldn't be too worried if I were you. People place a huge amount of importance on who's going to be part of the main squad, but if you look at NNT there were plenty of characters outside of the Sins who still managed to have a large presence in the story. Gilthunder, Howzer, Hendy, Dreyfus and Jericho kept showing up in arc after arc until the end. Mael/Estarossa was a central figure in the 2nd half of the story and Zeldris was such a big deal that he apparently managed to steal the spotlight from the Sins in the 2nd movie. I have no doubt that King and Diane's child will be relevant in multiple arcs over the course of the story, even if I don't think they are very likely candidates to join the main squad. And who knows, maybe my analysis was actually totally off and they'll end up joining anyway. I really just want the final member of the 4 Knights to have some giant genes in them so I wouldn't complain about that (much).
Bors has been talked about in connection to King and Diane a couple of times before. I think the surprise MVP out of nowhere is going to be Gareth who has only been mentioned a single time as part of a list of names even though he had an entire book dedicated to him in Le Morte d'Arthur.
King and Diane's kid being either Bors or Lionel would fit the family relations in terms of them being Lancelot's cousin, but I wouldn't be entirely sure about that since Harlequin and Diane themselves aren't really associated with the legends. There is a Diane in the legends but she's known for killing her lover so that she could be with another man, who then killed her in turn. That doesn't really sound like the source of inspiration for Diane to me. I think the situation with King and Diane might be a bit different from that of Meliodas, Elizabeth, Ban and Elaine who were obviously named with Tristan and Lancelot in mind. That could actually tie into why we didn't see Diane pregnant the same way we did Elizabeth and Elaine, since dropping an OC name wouldn't really have the same impact. I would rather have Bors and/or Lionel though.
I've also thought about the possibility of Ironside having another son and I even wondered if Ironside's comment to Anne could have been foreshadowing some sort of a love triangle situation. Lamorak falls for Anne who is crushing on Percival, leading to a conflict between the two brothers.
Ironside having another son could also be connected to the green knight, who in some stories is Ironside's son. I find this interesting because from what I understand, in Le Morte d'Arthur there are four important colored knights: red, green, blue and black. There are other colored knights such as the white knight who appear in other works and Nakaba is also adding in some entirely new ones such as Talisker who is the amber knight, but so far it seems like the aforementioned prominent colored knights are much stronger than the others. Ironside(the red knight) is in a completely different league compared to Talisker while Pellegarde(the black knight) easily blocked Ironside's attack so he should be at least comparable to Ironside. The green knight could be another elite among Arthur's knights which would be a fitting role for Percival's brother. Then again there's also a story about the green knight where he's an entirely different character involved with Gawain, so perhaps not. Interestingly there are stories where Percival kills Ironside and takes his armor for himself and Lancelot is also sometimes dressed up as the black knight. If you add the Gawain business in there, you could have a situation where the 4 Knights actually take the place of these colored knights at some point in the story. I kinda want Pellegarde to live though since he seems pretty chill.
A combo, if the holder is a hybrid, they would get closer to the true nature of the undifferentiated Chaos and maybe that would not allow a Grace(Ark derived power) and a Giant essential power to just co-exist, but rather try to mix.
I'm not sure how evil he seems, for now he's an extreme cinic...racist, pretty much(but that can be an effect of misguidance)...or he's somehow influenced/trapped by Chaos(starting to think he's not able to control Chaos' after-effects on him and he wants off his immortality, as a side dish to trying to prove the impossibility of establishing harmony between the main sentient races by challenging the KoA to try and take him down and maybe nullify something he and or Merlin can't deal with on their own?...still very odd that he'd allow his knights to terrorise and try to massacre whole communities of humans.
I find it more okay than a realistic age progress, since at some point they might also introduce Guinevere, and Nakaba might want to avoid squeaking his teenage readers out, the ones who don't talk/think about "milfs" all day long. Besides, as an immortal and reality bender, controling his appearance would be a piece of cake...now I'm curious whether the mirror part of his throne's backrest reflects his natural age, like some sort of Dorian Gray portrait.
I like and am intrigued by the mirror embedded in it.
Not a particular fan of the guy( I need reminders from Nakaba that he exists at all), but right after I suspected him of being the mystery helper...Me with Anghalhad cause her name rings some bells but I still can't pin-point from where. Unfortunately I get sent directly to MnY related pages.
Maybe he's just kinda, sorta suicidal...but he's trying to be discreet, for some reason
Now I need a fan-artist to draw our Arthur-chama in a pink and gold gown, Merlin-san in ominous black horns and Chaos as a "napping curse"(for his true psyche)
Would Merlin let them observe anything? She looks wary for some reason.
Thank you, can't wait till we meet HK Pelliot...and his pet goat.Except that with how big of an issue Chaos is, as the supreme demiurge, they would have a greater chance at eventually displacing Arthur's will from the driver's seat, and based on the shared perspective of such an entity, Chaos itself is evil through the act of creation. Yes, I know the demiurge and the fabric they use for creation are usually separate and different, but we're dealing with fiction that doesn't do traditional lore by the book anyway and most of the translations went with "Chaos created..." the three gods....the giants...the humans...
Thanks for the reminder. Although I mentioned in my post that my intention is not to make theories, but to provide a list!
My bad, must've gone through the post too fast and missed that mention, the reminder was meant for everyone debating the possible choices for the Holy Grail questers, I simply forgot to @ the others.
I have never watched Sailor Moon, just made it upI always thought Nakaba had Elizabeth address the human part because of how glass cannon-ish that makes her and maybe eventually Tristan as well, whenever it suits the mangaka.

I googled her right after we got to know her name, so I have found her origin.
It didn't send me to the article, but now I know I've run into her name when researching the Mabinogion, thank you
