Episode 5 Story Discussion

[Tymek]

Uncertain if this has been pointed out yet; disregard if that is the case:

So...take a look at this.

Ephemeral plants. They are a real thing, and there are four kinds:

- Spring ephemerals (Spring; the start, woodland; Cuent)
- Desert ephemerals (Desert pretty much gives it away; Verun)
- Mud flat ephemerals (Depends on water, Epic is said to be an oasis; Epic)
- Weedy ephemerals (Weeds, they grow everywhere, propagation, Es-Ars)

Also @Altiea when will you return from war and update the OP

[loafhero]

@Tymek Oh, damn. Can't believe they thought that far.

[Meteor Weapon]

Is there any explanation Omega Hunar kept coming back despite its host is already a goner.

[Poyonche]

Also they did say to pay attention to the story regarding future Dark Blast forms.

Watch Luther dying soon.

I don't know if anyone got the message, but PSO2 is getting its next drama CD, "Xierra's Report"! Notably, this drama CD features a lot of new and old characters, including Ulc, Eucreta, Patty, Tiea, Mother Cluster, and Kohri!

[loafhero]

and Kohri!

Pass...

But in all seriousness, I'm interested in the translation of it mostly out of curiosity of how Xierra and Ulc's interactions are like what with Xierra being more or less her copy, Eucreta and Aurora's return, a fondness for how much suffering Pietro gets put through and a little Patty & Tea never hurts.

You know, I'm surprised no one pointed this out, but I'm happy that Melrondia is actually getting an event in EP5. It'd be really weird to have a whole Chapter dedicated to Gettemhart and Melphonsina and not have Melrondia reacting in some way.

I was super excited when this was announced. The chapter with Elder biting the dust in EP3 left me wanting more story with her.

Honestly, I'm not looking forward to that scene at all. The way they handled the abusive relationship of Melrandia and Gettemhart was always terrible. That they somehow painted that relationship in a positive light at the very end left a sour taste for me.

Not helped by their portrayal of Melphonsina in this Episode who was depicted as being very subservient to Gettemhart as opposed to the manga portraying her as being a lot more dominant and having an actual personality.

I very much agree with you, Gettemhart is probably one of the few characters that I actively disliked. Plus, I have a feeling that PC personally, don't really like Gettemhart either, judging by the way they look after Melrandia after Gettemhart turned [Elder], and how they did not bother to say anything when [Elder] chose to 'sacrifice' himself to [Double], which they did for [Persona], when he/her chose to sacrifice themselves beside Xion, and for [Loser], when, after he helped them out in [Double]'s Dimension, and speaking to him about the past (making PC somewhat neutral towards him), PC (or is it Matoi?) asked if [Loser] is not coming out with them.

Gettemhart in EP0 is understandable and someone I would actually like, but post EP0 is a Gettemhart that makes me want to kill him for the decade of abuse he had did to Melrandia. For Melphonsina...well...it's probably due to the difference in their upbringing, in Omega, Melphonsina and Gettemhart are the last survivors of an inhumane experiment gone wrong, and rely only on each other. But in EP0, Melphonsina is definitely not alone, and she have a younger sister who she takes care and adores, she is not plagued by the harsh conditions that Omega Melphonsina lived through, and that is probably the reason why she is more subservient (in a sense, since she actively agrees with Gettemhart's ideals, except for the rudeness to PC), and more understanding of Gettemhart's personality.
