Cour 2 prediction: 13 episodes. 2027.
First 5 episodes - the fight:
1. Nanahoshi's Hypothesis
2. Preparations
3. Quagmire vs Dragon God
4. Berserker Sword King vs Dragon God
5. Eris Greyrat
This is the block everyone is waiting for. Magic armor. Rudeus vs Orsted. Eris vs Orsted. Then the reunion.
Next 4 - the new job:
6. The First Mission
7. Guardian Beast
8. Library Labyrinth
9. Before Asura
After the fight, the story changes. New alliance. Protect the house. First order: Asura Kingdom.
Last 4 - they enter Asura, then stop:
10. The Red Wyrm’s Upper Jaw
11. Ariel’s Choice
12. Imperial City Ars
13. The Party
Episode 13 will not finish the Asura kingdom arc. It stops in the capital, when the trap starts to close. Cliffhanger.
If they try to end Volume 17 in those last 4 episodes, they will cut again. Same 22-minute problem as the diary.
See you in 2027.
Now that Rudy finally gets to see Perugius and his 12 servants in season 3, it's wild to think we first learned his lore while Rudy was still tutoring Eris in Roa. It feels like a huge milestone to finally see characters described in the legends.
