Welcome to Transforming Factor, component 2. If recently had to do with a traumatic experience with a difficult adversary, after that today had to do with the causal sequences of observing fatality in the face. As the trip attracts to its moody close, Rudeus pertains to terms not simply with his very own death however with the fatalities of his colleagues and also the destiny of the Fittoa area. It’s suitable that this episode likewise signifies the unpleasant change right into young the adult years, as Rudeus and also Eris shed their virginities with each other in a scene that really feels both unpreventable however likewise a lot ahead of time for either of them.
The red wine chalice is a regular theme throughout the episode, signifying spilt blood and also the loss of virtue. When it initially shows up throughout Rudeus’s desire, the merlot on the flooring is made to look like a swimming pool of blood, immediately providing the pleasant celebration scene a dark overtone. Later on, Rudeus is revealed dabbling a chalice when Eris makes her bear down him, which on the instant surface area degree develops that he has actually been consuming alcohol in spite of his childhood. As Eris gets on top of him, the blood merlot splashes on the flooring– an injury, fatality. Rudeus grabs the chalice, attempting to recover what’s left near the bottom. However he falls short. The chalice itself is ingested in the swimming pool of red as Rudeus releases his restraints and also decides that can not be reversed. What is shed can never ever be recovered.
Rudeus’s point of view is simple sufficient to adhere to, however assembling Eris’s inspirations needs a little bit of analysis in between the lines. What’s clear is that in between the fight with Orsted and also finding that her instant household is dead, Eris has actually recognized that she has actually gotten to a defining moment. For one quick evening with Rudeus, she can claim she has a household, however she knows since she isn’t solid sufficient to secure what is priceless to her. She can not proceed the means she has actually been, so she eventually establishes out on a trip with Ghislaine. When it comes to why she really did not select to come to be more powerful side-by-side with Rudeus, that’s more difficult to determine, at the very least simply from seeing her activities. However her ambivalent expression in the opening as she leans on Rudeus suggests that she does not really feel material simply relying upon him. She can have connected that far better in her letter at the end, however, well, that’s Eris for you.
The personality acting below isn’t fairly as solid as it has actually remained in a few of the previous large psychological minutes in this collection, however the strong instructions and also shot make-up still makes this a standout episode. It was gut-wrenching seeing Rudeus go through his ruined home town and also seeing the ghosts of better days. I likewise suched as exactly how Rudeus’s old body is made use of in the opening desire series due to the fact that it strengthens simply just how much he has actually transformed as an individual without being self-congratulatory regarding it. The previous him would most likely have actually supervised all of it with an air of detachment, and now he does not hesitate about tossing open his bed room home window and also demanding what he has actually shed and also what he is afraid to shed. After 22 episodes of shenanigans and also experiences, Rudeus’s roadway to ending up being a far better individual is shown not via valorous acts however via enabling himself to regret.
