Someone asked about Subaru's bad habit, of scratching himself, about whether anyone else in the camp knows about it.
No one else knows, because Beatrice is desperately trying to hide it. Maybe Ram noticed despite that.
According to the author, Odglass is quite a gentle Great Spirit, it's the Holy King, who has a contract with her, who is quite deranged.
Though obvious, it's confirmed Odglass is female.
Tappei explains the attempts to steal the power of authorities. Divine Protections are one of the more successful attempts, and are so good that they came to be known as they are.
But there are also other abilities, some that go beyond common sense.
These people with strange abilities have done something which is equivalent to opening their doors. Basically, something like getting a power that wasn't supposed to be theirs.
it makes it sound like opening the door is kind of easy, but basically it's about being beside someone who possesses an incredible power like a Sin Archbishop or someone with an Authority or someone with deep ties, and being moved by their influence.
Simply put: being together for a long time, being related by blood, or being in a situation where it is easy to receive influence.
An example of a situation where it is easy to receive influence would be the contract relationship between Subaru and Beatrice, there would be a great influence in that situation.
Tappei roughly summarises the situations where it's easy to open this metaphorical door as:
- Distance/closeness
- Depth of the relationship (which can also include blood relationships).
There's a little more info. to the question, but my friend can't quite make out all the details yet.
Meili has the power to bring a large city to ruin with her Divine Protection, but she would likely be stopped before she can pull it off by someone like Reinhard.
Which leads into it being really dangerous if she was still on Capella's side in Arc 10.
If they did the conditions Reid had set, with someone other than Emilia, in Arc 6, it might have been impossible to move him a single step.
Ram might have been able to knock something clever together with everyone's cooperation, pushing really hard to move him a single step.
Regarding Vague Adgard in the anime, Tappei always had a rough idea of how Vague would look in his head, but he never thought it'd be released anywhere.
But since the anime wanted to do the silhouettes of the strongest, since they thought it'd be cool, and even though Tappei thought it'd only appear in one anime scene, they decided to ask Otsuka to make a design for him.
But, since he has a design now, as per Tappei's usual trends, he acknowledges himself that he might do something more with the character.
Since some of the crests for the nations weren't made yet at the time, Otsuka had to design those too.
When asked if he always intended to have the Arc 10 VN characters in the main story, from the point of conception of the game.
Tappei confirms it was not the original intent of the game. And he is aware that he can't do the exact same thing as the game, so he's changing bits around.
Tappei confirms he wrote most of the back-half of the game's script, and along with Otsuka, who made the character designs, they made the premises for the characters, etc.
Either way, he treats the VN game as its own completed story. So he doesn't think of Arc 10 as something he *needs* to complete with these characters. It's just the situation he wanted to do in Arc 10 aligns really well with the positions of said characters.
Other than Katya and Rem, Tanza is also the sort to probably send letters. (Probably between Subaru and Tanza).
Medium also probably exchanges letters with Emilia and Subaru. Flop probably also wants to. Abel does, but presents them more formally.
Someone asked about Meili's perspective on the Emilia camp members. He answers for each of them in Meili's own speaking style.
She thinks Subaru and Emilia are way too open-minded, and wonders if it's really okay for them to accept her.
Someone asked Tappei how Emilia and the others would react to Subaru falling to his death in Arc 6. Including the culprit.
Tappei said not to ask about this sort of stuff, since he doesn't want to talk about situations where Subaru dies.
When he wrote the unthinkable presents, it turned out a lot more awful than he expected in terms of the situation, so he didn't want to bring up this situation again. Doesn't want to think of Emilia and Beatrice in that situation.
Confirmations that Wilhelm has gotten a lot stronger since Arc 5, and getting serious now. He's about the same level as his prime, or maybe even stronger. Tappei thinks he can beat everyone but Cecilus in this state, depending on the situation and factors at play.
Wilhelm tends to get stronger in the moment, during the turning tides of battle.
We received an expansion on the questions asked in the past, of what if Reinhard reached the tower.
As stated before, Reinhard would make Reid go serious and the difficulty increases. However, with Cecilus and Halibel, based off Reid's sensibilities, he'd like both of these two.
As for the Crazed Prince, Tappei struggled with this, since he didn't really see any reason the former would be fighting Reid.
Reinhard is definitely the one who'd piss Reid off the most. So Reid would want to fight him.
There was also a question about, given the fact Leilani's kids turned out as they were, whether if other Bishops had kids their kids would also turn out fucked up.
Tappei confirmed their kid/s would also end up turning out bad, likely.
