So people now just show up out of nowhere. And then they just come up with their designs out of nowhere. Same with the pictures and everything else. This WIT adaptation continues to take everything that is earned in the novels, cuts out all the effort and their motivations, and then just shows the results. You know, just like in Rocky where the movie starts with some posturing of Rocky and Creed and then there is a cut to them having bloodied faces in the ring. What that wasn't how the movie played out? I guess it wasn't done by this WIT team then. Lucky Rocky fans.

Okay, so I am weird about spoilers. I sometimes call things spoilers that others insist are not spoilers. For example, I think it is possible for the opening or closing animations to spoil the later half of the season. I typically skip the credits until the later half of the season because of that.

In this case, though, I have already read all of the available LNs and manga, so there's no spoiler for me.

But I do have to say that in this episode, I think the after credits scene about the ordonnanz has a very weird spoiler.

Specifically,

vague description of why it's a spoiler

When Ferdinand talks about how nobles get their schtappes, he says something that Rozemyne has to figure out in the future... Although it is definitely something that Ferdinand already knows about. So, he's not exactly spoiling the audience, but just because the description means nothing to us at this point, but he's spoiling Rozemyne.

Also, and I can't imagine how the rest of this could be a spoiler, Ferdinand's description that you can't use an ordonnanz without a schtappe is completely correct with the lore, but I've always thought it was weird. They're just saying it activates with a minuscule amount of mana, so you'd think that a noble who has very little mana, or a noble with very good control, could activate it without a schtappe. But it seems that they can't. It requires a schtappe.

Who cares at this point? The ordonnanzes are all wrong anyway.

The Sisters reunion was really touching.
