By the way I admire how many steps ahead Sorghaghtani has been thinking since the very beginning. She’s very clever and will definitely uncover the whole truth one day
Genuinely so sorry for #toluiposting but you see. He was always in my top 3 fav characters even before anime was a thing. And I’ve seen him being discussed seriously maybe only a couple of times so I just wanna share why I vibe with him. I’ll get over this mf one day but not now
The honest ones have to exit the story as they have served their narrative purpose (yeah historical constraints and his otchigin charisma are factors too but you know.) It feels appropriate that he meets his end by Boraqchin exploiting his greatest weakness. 4/4
Tolui is a war criminal who feels empowered on the battlefield, has an appetite for war & yet his selective moral compass is probably one of the most straightforward ones in Jaadugar. Outsiders can be torn to shreds if they don’t submit, but his family is an absolute red line. 1/
In a series where everyone is ready to conspire against each other (even their blood relatives) in order to come out on the top, Tolui’s very nature goes against that notion. He just isn’t capable of that kind of shrewdness and mind games, especially against his loved ones. 3/
