Hey again preaching my Zonessa shit (I'm not crazy) Remember when I did a full on analysis on episode 138 and 139? saying it was the same story? So-
(linking that at the end btw, just in case duzehudh)
Guys, like listen- walk with me WHAT IF I said their backstories are mirrored
So, first things first, I just wanna say I have no conclusion besides "it's mirrored" ZDHEUZDHUEH
And I know some of the black bulls have backstory elements in common. Like for example:
- Zora and Gauche both have betrayal and family member death in common
-Zora and Nacht both have family member death in common
-Vanessa and Grey both have the abusive mother/family theme in common, plus the same "and she ran away" element
...and so on.
The thing is
I don't mean this as "they have common themes or elements". It's literally mirrored, and it visually makes me scream cause wtf
IT'S EPISODE 138 AND 139 ALL OVER AGAIN
Idk if the right term is "mirrored" or if they just have a polar opposites thing going on? anyways yall will understand-
So
Let's start.
(insert cool pic)
Let's put Zora's backstory first, and Vanessa's second even tho Vanessa's was on chapter 99 and Zora's later on chapter 129.
Zora's will be referred as Side A, Vanessa's as Side B.
Part 1: Intro
So before the flashback starts, we have on both sides “character + Asta + antagonist fight” setup going on. It's not much, but I'm just pointing it to start somewhere.
Side A, Asta and Zora are up against Langris in crazy-bitch mode. Zora takes action.
Side B, Vanessa is dealing with Asta and the Witch Queen (the crazy bitch). Vanessa is unable to take action for now.
Side A, Zora claims that he is only taking action because he doesn't like Langris and doesn't understand why Asta trusts him.
Meanwhile on Side B, the Witch Queen taunts Vanessa about her making bonds (also trusting) with such trivial people, imperfect people.
Ironically, Zora was probably trying to convince himself it was all just trivial, he was doing that for his goal and that's it. However, he did end up making some kind of bond with Asta, with someone he considers to be a true magic knight. In another words, as if Asta is "perfect".
So both sides touch the same topic but in different ways.
Side A gets the flashback triggered because of the "fake magic knight vs true magic knight" conflict, while Side B it gets triggered because of "found family vs not family" conflict. Mentioning that cause it will be relevant later.
Let's continue piece by piece:
In my opinion, this is probably the part with the strongest “polar opposites” impact of all. also not the ink before we get to the flashbacks mirroring as well-
Side A, we start with present Zora looking down, and the flashback is triggered. We are introduced to warmth. To a welcoming memory, cozy even. To a simple home, a father and his son inside their own bubble. There's life and enthusiasm right there, there's closeness, there's a strong family bond.
Side B has silence. Distance. Vanessa is closed off, trapped inside her own cage.
Present Vanessa looks up and the flashback is triggered. We are introduced to emptiness, silence and a confinement like I mentioned.
She only hears murmurs from the outside, until the Witch Queen shows up.
Distant, cold.
"Vanessa." "Queen!"
Physically and emotionally distant. Formal and cold.
The Witch Queen stands above, emphasizing the power imbalance, showing the difference between them and the emotional barrier between them.
Meanwhile, Zora and Zara are on the same ground, physically and emotionally close, there's warmth in their interaction.
"I'm home! Hi Zora!" "Welcome back dad"
It’s almost like the mirror is inverted: Side A radiating closeness, family, and belonging, while Side B radiates isolation, hierarchy, and emotional distance.
And visually, the contrast hits hard too emphasizing the polar-opposite dynamics between these two stories.
"You did the chores, perfectly again today! Thanks for always helping me out, Zora!"
vs
Vanessa not being able to use the power the Witch Queen wants, therefore she will stay there until she reaches it.
In another words, Vanessa, aside from not being praised or encouraged, hasn't reached a "perfection level" that is meant to earn recognition.
Both kids ""work hard"", but only one has results, the other is frustrated with no results. One is praised and encouraged, the other is is frustrated and punished.
Also it gives me the impression that Zora chooses to help his father out, acting willingly, not like Zara forces him to do it. Meanwhile the Witch Queen chooses for Vanessa and forces her to do what she wants.
Again polar opposites.
Then we have that panel of lil Vanessa ;O;
While (I didn't include that on the cut pic because I'm stupid) Zora tells us stuff about his dad.
Side A, every expression is a smile (or silly)
Meanwhile Side B is the polar opposite
Everything is heavier
Emptier and colder
Also Zara is portrayed in a very light, cheerful, humanizing way. Meanwhile the Witch Queen is just pure darkness, intimidating, oppressive and distant.
Part 2: "Saviors"
In this part, we meet the concept of “role models”, “saviors”, and so on... Right before the turning point where both characters are exposed to the "outside world" in their own stories.
Here the moods start to shift while continuing to mirror each other.
If Zora knew warmth, now it’s his turn to experience cold.
Let's break it down piece by piece again:
DOLLS
Side A, Zora is given the doll, full of personality (I mean UZDHEUZDHUEZ).
Zara basically is trying to encourage his son to speak more and does that whole epic intro to the doll. Zora says "that's cringe, I'm 12 already" okay he doesn't say that-
Anyways DUEHDIE
Sorry I know this was getting serious but soon enough the stories will give me depression, I need to be stupid for a second
ANYWAYS
Side A: Doll, full of personality, black clothes, a gift, a symbol of encouragement
Side B: Dolls... Shallow dolls, white, made, a symbol of how shallow Vanessa is right now.
(Also tiny comment, Vanessa made the dolls herself. And Zara made the doll himself.)
Funny how one is encouraged to talk more, meanwhile the other is squizofrenic- I mean. Talking alone, very sad. One is encouraged to communicate with others meanwhile the other creates dolls to communicate but it's just talking to herself.
One should communicate more, the other is stuck creating substitutes for communication.
Vanessa remains in her lonely, cold energy, while Zora continues in his warm father-child dynamic.
The polar opposites are clear: closeness vs loneliness, encouragement vs emptiness, life vs lifelessness
But soon enough we will reach the shift.
not the same gomen pose
So the stories' mood meet briefly before the turning point.
This is the “role model” / “meeting the savior” part, the classic “so this is the hero” beat in both stories.
Side A: Zora talks about his father, and Zara is framed in a pretty heroic, inspiring light
Zara was Zora's biggest inspiration: Heroic, hardworking. Someone who stood up against "norms and rules" set by "higher forces". Someone who stood up against the "impossible". He never gave up.
It’s safe to assume that, for Zora, his father was the ultimate hero figure.
Side B: Vanessa suddenly meets Yami, who is also framed in a badass/heroic way. In the next panels, Vanessa is impressed that he fought the Witch Queen, a direct demonstration of heroism.
This is only shows up on part 3 but it makes sense to mention it now: Zara and Yami share the same "I will go against the rules" energy. Zara defied societal rules set by higher-ups, did something that would be considered to be impossible by others. Yami defies fate itself, saying he will crush Fate and do whatever he wants. Something that is seen as impossible to escape from in Vanessa's eyes.
Both are visually framed with a door to the outside world and light shining on them.
Anyways back to this part.
Zara says he fought alongside someone amazing today. And Yami mentions he fought a crazy bitch. Like even that mirrors? it's so wtf UDEHIUDHE
And... ah yes the
gomen pose.
Both stories shared briefly the same mood, but now they will be at it again and reverse.
If all Vanessa knew was loneliness, coldness, emptiness
Now is Zora's turn.
Now the energies change, and this mirrored structure continues all the way to the end.
Let's go with Side B first now.
It almost doesn't even feel like the same storyline anymore, now it's silly, lighter and this is the moment before the turning point in her life. Things are starting to feel lighter.
Yami will be visually framed as the savior but he really just was the way out of her cage. He points the way, literally.
In Side A, a grave. There's no savior for Zora. No savior, no way forward, no perspective on the future.
"How are you going to protect anything, if you are dead."
In both sides, the way out is there. The choice is there for the turning point.
Yami comically points at it
And Zora is about to hear to what will be his turning point.
Before going to part 3, I also want to highlight something that crossed my mind:
"I can't escape the Queen. I'm fated to stay here"
is "how am I going to escape the queen, if I'm fated to stay here?"
"How are you going to protect anything, if you are dead?"
is "You can't protect anything, you are dead."
Fate and Death, external forces. Also the fact that it was external people who caused a death and a child to believe they have an unfair fate. Both children believe they have no power, there is no point. Vanessa still believes it, Zora has just started to believe it.
Part 3: The turning point
We have reached the turning point.
This is the moment that motivates both characters and we see what they met from the outside world.
By “outside world,” I mean that: Zora was living in his cozy, safe bubble, and then he met what exists beyond it. Vanessa was trapped in her cage, and then she met the world outside it. I hope that makes sense?
On Side B, Vanessa is given the chance to make a choice to live a life at it's fullest. To actually start.
Zora, on Side A, has the choice to stop and surrender to despair upon hearing that but he chooses a rebirth and restarts.
And tbh, for me, this moment and the very beginning are my favorite parts of the mirrored stories
Zora reaches his hopeless state, while Vanessa reaches her hopefull state.
What Vanessa hears from Yami becomes the inspiration and motivation that pushes her toward her turning point.
And what Zora hears from those bastards is the trigger that forces him to confront his situation and reach his own turning point.
Both characters have a choice at the same time.
"Make your own choice"
And they both do.
Yami became a symbol of hope/freedom for Vanessa.
And the doll became a symbol of rage/justice for Zora.
Vanessa chooses to set herself free from the unfair punishment she believed she deserved from Fate/Witch Queen.
Zora chooses to punish those who believe they are free to commit injustice without consequence.
Vanessa rejects her unfair punishment, meanwhile Zora becomes someone who punishs who's unfair.
She chooses freedom for herself, defying her unfair punishment the Witch Queen took liberaty to decide for her.
While he chooses justice for others, punishing those who mistake freedom for the right to do harm.
It's like, even if they are two embodiments of freedom for me.
It's like...
Vanessa is Destiny and Zora is Karma/Fate-adjacent?
Destiny often viewed as something more positive, is influenced by choices and actions. Fate is often viewed as something more negative uncontrollable and inevitable.
Journey vs predetermined ending.
Then there's karma, the law of cause and effect, where actions define future consequences.
In another words, Vanessa brings out the "world of possibilities" , "I refuse to suffer for what I didn't choose" concept
and Zora is like "I'm gonna make you suffer for what you DID choose" concept
She is Destiny, a life path reshaped by choice, relationships etc etc
He is Karma/Fate-adjacent, he enforces inevitability after choice has already been made
I mean her spell is literally that, and his counter trap works like karma UZDGUZEGDUEZ
A small note: Both are framed like the dolls from earlier, Zora is literally the doll now, Vanessa was literally one shallow doll until now.
However Vanessa grew pass it. Zora embraced it.
Vanessa breaking free and becoming her own agent of change.
Zora embracing the identity and becoming his own agent of change.
Well, now
What they got from the outside world:
Zora outside his familiar bubble met: Injustice, betrayal, the harsh parts of life.
Vanessa met love and family, trust and the good parts of life.
The outcomes are mirrored:
Now the lonely one is Zora, a deliberate choice fueled by grief, rage and hunger for the justice his father never got.
While Vanessa is never truly alone, because of her choice and she met the connections, love, and hope she never got before.
One found rage, the other found love.
Part 4: Back to the present
btw haha
Hahha not one crying because of the family he lost, and the other crying just by thinking of the possibility to lose the family she got.
So the final parts of the flashbacks hit, more harsh reality vs welcoming reality
and...
Both reject, Zora rejecting fake magic knights who were his turning point. Vanessa rejecting the one who was her stagnation.
"fake magic knight vs true magic knight" conflict,
"found family vs not family" conflict
end
because they reject what invalidated them in some way at somepoint.
This is so weirdly framed I don't even know what to say.
I also would like to say that in the beginning, Zora's story was lighter and became darker. Vanessa's was darker and became lighter.
also tiny extra comparison
...
So
Haha
glad you made it here so
the conclusion:
That's it
case closed
But like seriously after episode 138/139 being a weird mirror, their backstories also having that weird thing going on
I need answers UZDUEZGDEZGD
they have a lot of weird shit going on
Hey remember when I mentioned a few times that Zora's solo episode (138) and Vanessa's episode (139) were awfully similar and it always both
Episode 138 and 139 analysis (IT'S THE SAME EPISODE, I'm not crazy)
Hey remember when I mentioned a few times that Zora's solo episode (138) and Vanessa's episode (139) were awfully similar and it always bothered me? And that I could talk about it in one single post?Yeah...-
I watched both eps at the same time and came to the conclusion that it was worse than I thought it was. Was this necessary? no, but 15y/16y Jay thought this on the first watch but couldn't prove it. So now, I did it and 15y/16y Jay can now rest.
This isn't necessarily a ship post, it's more a "I have no conclusion besides: it's the same episode." but take it as you want to take it UDHEIUHD
So before I ramble, meet my centipede:
Now...
Come, walk with me.
So on the surface level,
“In Zara’s Footsteps” and “A Witch’s Homecoming” are two solo character-focused episodes.
Ep 138 follows Zora as he returns to his hometown, revisits his past and his father’s grave. He meets Ina (and then Ina's father) who dreams of becoming a Magic Knight despite being a commoner and there's all that self-doubt going on.
Zora mentors him indirectly and teaches him to believe in his potential.
Zora doesn't necessarily learn something in the episode, but he gets more "inspired" to continue his own growth.
After everything, he makes his way back to the Black Bulls’ base.
Ep 139 follows Vanessa, who returns to the Witches’ Forest seeking advanced magic from the Witch Queen to help her squad with the present events (and future).
Instead of simply getting the help she wanted, she is tasked with mentoring two young witches (Samantha and Elvira) that are less-confident and "failures".
Vanessa mentors/guides them and helps them find confidence and self-worth.
Vanessa didn't learn the advanced magic she wanted but overall she gets more determined with her own goals.
She then returns home to the Black Bulls.
Both episodes on a surface level:
-Focus on a single character;
-There's a return to one’s origins;
-Center around mentoring insecure “newbies”;
-End with the characters going back home without gaining new spells/skills, but with renewed resolves;
So we can already agree it's literally the same story with some small differences like:
Zora through the whole episode, is basically living in the past. Roughly 90% of his flashbacks are tied to his father and his old life, with only brief connections to present events. It’s only at the end that he has that sense of resolution and turns his focus towards the future. Zora left of this journey cause he "doesn't have time for the black bulls" but for how long will he keep doing that?
Vanessa is the opposite of him. Her motive for her return was due to present events and concerns for the future and the Black Bulls.
Most of her flashbacks and emotional are connected to what she has now and what she wants to protect going forward. It's not like she isn't familiar with the Witches' Forest but her home is with the Black Bulls.
And ofc it's understandable: Zora had a good past-life in his own eyes and Vanessa didn't. So it's normal for Zora to be attached to his past and Vanessa to be attached to what she has now.
That says a lot about their characters separately.
Zora mainly stands on the ashes of what it once was, still not fully letting go. (even if he himself said on the episode: "it's all in the past") He hasn't completely released that part of himself yet, and still doesn't fully embraces his new life with the Black Bulls, even if he cares about them in his own way.
Vanessa, on the other hand, is deeply attached to what she has now, the bonds she made and what she wants to protect in the future. All she wants to do is making everyone she loves smile and keep on smiling.
He goes to his hometown to run away from the bbs like he always does.
She goes to be stronger so she can help the bbs. All for them.
And somehow both want to reach a goal, not necessarily for themselves but for others, the ones they love. Zora wants to be a true Magic Knight, pretty much for his father and Vanessa wants to "learn to use her magic in the best way" to keep on making the ones she loves smile.
But
Let's continue...
Still on the surface level we can also say, they are 2 reflections of the same narrative wheel:
A personal journey back to the origins → confrontation/plot → lesson → reflection → return back to the present home
So now let's dive in and compare both episodes... and use my centipede:
So, episode 138 starts with a Zora flashback, day time. Where we dive into the flashback (we don't actually get present Zora telling us nothing, we just vibe) and cuts to the intro.
And I'd like to point out flowers (flora) as a "symbol" for the episode, a symbol present through the whole episode.
Episode 139 starts with Vanessa, (present time) at night having flashbacks as well but from the current events instead. We have Yami and all that, and eventually Vanessa is ready to leave and cuts to the intro.
And i'd like to point out animals (fauna) as a "symbol" for the episode, a symbol present through the whole episode.
And from there both episodes go to the "Parental moment" duheiudhe
Zora talking to his father and he paying him a visit. And on the other side, we have Witch Queen jumpscare, which obviously means Vanessa paid her a visit too duh.
Once both talks are done we meet the newbies, day time in both eps.
Zora's episode pacing goes quicker in this part, meanwhile Vanessa has a bigger talk with the Witch Queen. I'm comparing the moments, not necessarily the pacing. (even if at somepoint they match in pacing.)
We get introduced to Ina, Zora observes him from a distance, watching him train without interference.
On the other side, Vanessa is directly introduced to Samantha and Elvira, immediately placed as a mentor.
Zora = indirect mentor
Vanessa = direct mentor
And now we move to the "We meet the problem" part:
By this time I was like "No way this is real."
On Zora's side we get introduced to the "antagonists?/plot" of the episode while he is hiding, tree-cosplaying, watching it all.
And on Vanessa's side, we ALSO get introduced to the "antagonists?/plot" while they are hiding, tree-cosplaying, watching it all.
Zora watches a noble bully Ina.
Vanessa watches magical beasts threaten the forest.
Then,
Both Zora and Vanessa step in.
Zora makes the rich brat run with the stinky bug smell and Vanessa was about to deal with a magical beast.
On Zora's side, Zora doesn't say anything and Ina straight up uses his magic agaisnt the rich brat.
On Vanessa's side she straight up tells the girls to attack/use their magics and the girls don't.
Then we cut to the main characters and the newbies having a talk.
On Zora's side he calls out Ina. On Vanessa's side, she gets called out for free ZDUGHIUZGHDE
Zora says that Ina doesn't even have a grimoire so there's no way he could've won.
And Elvira questions if Vanessa is useless without the help of outside men.
So it's funny the different words. Same message:
“You don’t have X, therefore you can’t do Y.”
Btw something funny, haha, the people Vanessa and Zora help in their episodes are blue and green themed:
ANYWAYS
We get introduced to "the newbies' problems":
On Zora's side, Ina is all like "Why was I born a peasant? If I wasn't born into a peasant family, I would've had greater magic powers"
On Vanessa's side, Elvira says "we are both failures, anyway."
So pretty much the newbies fall in that "I'm a failure" theme, this also includes Ina's father cause he gives Ina the reason as if it's his own fault.
On Zora's side, he gets all like "ugh wtf are these people saying, can't believe I have to lecture this lil brat" and kidnaps the child. Ina's father stays behind and questions himself if he saw this tall edgelord before.
On Vanessa's side, she remembers Noelle and Grey, and sees them in the newbies. She gets all "ugh can't believe I'm just dealing with Noelle and Grey" and let's them go for now.
What's funny to me here is,
Both turning their faces and making the same fucking face.
Then one kidnapping and the other lets the children go.
There's also in both moments a "remembering someone" thing.
In this case Ina's father questioning if he hasn't seen this cringe dude before, and Vanessa straight up remembering her sisters fuheihfhe
And like another funny thing...
Zora: 0 chill, kidnaps the kid
Vanessa: 100 chill, lets the girls go.
That says a lot about their patience and understanding HOWEVER surpringly Zora, in the next scene is more patient and understanding than Vanessa who loses her chill with the Witch Queen right away.
Zora appears rude/ but is strangely patient later.
Vanessa appears gentler/ but quickly loses her patience with the Witch Queen.
Which takes us to another parental checkpoint right away:
Like I said, on Zora's side, while they stand on his father's grave, he tries to teach Ina something without giving him the answer he wants. Ina has to figure it out.
As for Vanessa, she straight up loses her chill cause she thinks the Witch Queen is trying to get her to give up by giving an "impossible" task to do, instead of just teaching her what she wanted right away.
In one side, we have the "there's no such thing as aiming too high" and "if you say that, than it means you believe you can do it" and on the other side, Vanessa calling the task impossible which means she kinda believes she can't do it eiuzhfiuehf but gets hit with a "What do you use your magic for?" from the Witch Queen.
Meanwhile, Ina gets hit with a "fuck around and find out" UZDGEUZGD
sorry sorry
but anyways
Vanessa's episode hits sunset before Zora's. Both episodes have a few moments without them. Ina reflecting on Zora's words and the witches talking about Vanessa.
Vanessa is called special but it's not being able to do this task:
"No matter how special Vanessa might be, there are things even she can't pull off."
Meanwhile, when Zora talks about "Zora" to Ina, he says "Zora" could do something nobles and royalty couldn't.
Guess who is giving "opposites" again:
Zora ain't special, Vanessa is. One could do something even if he wasn't special, meanwhile Vanessa gets mentioned as someone special that couldn't do something.
And like I'd like to point out how weirdly Zora's advice would maybe fit Vanessa's episode? Like and later in the episode I feel like it's basically the same lesson and resolution.
Anyway we hit sunset in both episodes:
Ah, the reason I even decided to finally make this post...
I was chilling and thought I could draw something from ep 138 and 139, I wanted to draw the part where both are dramatically thinking on a tree at sunset in their episodes.
And then, I was like "wouldn't be crazy if that actually happened at the same time?". I checked and was like NO WAY THIS HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME (not literally at the same time but it's like 12:34 and the other at 12:24) So I watched both eps at the time.
Anyways,
Both have a tree scene at sunset. And the sequence follows with magical items cameos on both sides.
On Zora's it's a major role, on Vanessa's it isn't and it's silly overall.
Which again, what these episodes have different from the other it's opposite/parallel/completary shit or something.
Even at the start where we met the newbies and both main characters step in, Vanessa's has a more serious tone than Zora's, then it switches the tone.
So, on Zora's side, he is alone sitting on the tree (cat).
On Vanessa's side, she is in Dominante's company leaning agaisnt the tree on the ground.
Opposites again.
I'd also like to point out how it feels like Vanessa always has company but Zora is always alone.
The moment they are about to see the magical items, we get the same angle of them looking, cause why not? DZEGDEZ Since everything is so similar why not? GDUHIEUDH
And we get on Zora's side a dangerous magic item, Zora reacts worried/serious "wtf is that?" (warning).
Meanwhile on Vanessa's side we get a useless magic item and Vanessa reacts like "wtf is this?" (disappointed) DZGHEUZDG
Anyways Zora pulls up to do his thing cause there's a kid with a dangerous magic item so Zora uses his magic.
Meanwhile, on Vanessa's side we cut to night time (briefly) cause Vanessa will pull an all nighter and do her thing to get the job done. Using her brain magic uwu-
I'd like to note how Zara's grave is also a symbol through the episode and meanwhile Vanessa has the door of the Witch Queen's castle always present in her episode.
but anyways.
We hit the climax of the episodes, Zora's is set at night and Vanessa's during the day. Cause we have to be opposites.
So Vanessa and the girls deal with the beasts, Ina and his father deal with beasts- I mean rich people. Vanessa commands on her side, and on Zora's, he finishes off the beasts- I mean rich people, in his Zora way.
and both look good doing it.
The end
HDEUHGDUE
I mean
I'd like to point out something first, while both are at their hometowns: Zora just interacts with men. Vanessa just interacts with women (as expected). And about the magics, Zora only interacts with elemental-magic (fire and water), and this includes his own magic (ash). Meanwhile, Vanessa only interacts with non-elemental-magic (sound and illusion), and this includes her own magic (thread).
Funny detail cause by this time at the episodes we have seen all magics in action.
ANYWAYS IT'S THE TIME THE NEWBIE'S LEARN THEIR LESSON-
So here something interesting happens.
Let's go to Vanessa's side first.
They did their task, the witches praise them, and all that.
The newbies, Samantha (green themed) says "I guess we can do it".
Vanessa says "You two found something you didn't want to give up on. Make sure you never forget what that is."
And like,
On Zora's side, we have the father (green themed) saying that he won't give up and all that. And Ina gets what the answer to Zora's question was.
Both Ina and his dad decide that the two of them will do their best together to become Magic Knights. And Zora is there, looking at them in silence.
The interesting thing is,... besides suddenly the atmosphere getting visually warmer on both sides, in this case Vanessa is outside, and Zora is inside.
It's like Vanessa is saying what Zora didn't say.
"You two found something you didn't want to give up on. Make sure you never forget what that is."
and the two of them found something they didn't want to give up on (being magic knights in their case) and will do their best, together.
To me, the message of both episodes fit each other.
Like considering, Elvira and Samantha were considered failures, Zora's advice could potential also fit duehiueuhd
Overall both eps are about over-coming, self worth, and not giving up or believing in your potential, that you can do things.
Anyways, final part... What's the lesson for the main characters?
Morning for Zora's episode, sunset for Vanessa's episode. Uwu opposites.
We get ANOTHER PARENTAL CHECKPOINT and it's a "goodbye". Ofc in Zora's episode, there's just a cameo of the grave... the witch queen is alive for the parental checkpoint UDheiuDHE
Following that, we get our main characters making their goals clear.
Zora is working to be a true Magic Knight, and Vanessa is going to train more to be able to protect everyone/use her magic in the best way and make everyone she loves smile. (also control her own fate)
They are ready to leave, Vanessa thanks the Witch Queen when she is already outside looking back at the door. She meets with Dominante next, cause silly moment.
Meanwhile, Zora has a silly moment with Ina too and leaves. He talks to himself and we get the "Just watch dad"
These crazy people talking alone.
And we get an Asta mention on both eps cause goat.
Aaaand we are back to the start:
Zora walking during day, but this time going back home.
Vanessa at the hideout at night, she is at home.
I'd like to also point out that at the start of Zora's ep, he remembers him just avoiding everyone cause he doesn't have time for them and he ends the episode mentioning that maybe he can put all those idiots to work.
Meanwhile, Vanessa's ep starts with her drinking, and ends up with her passing it.
development uwu
Just interesting I guess
also
It's so funny how they mention the bbs
"My dummies" uwu
"Those jerks" UZDGHEZDGEUZg
Literally mom and dad HJBDEUHD
So here's the time of the day during the episodes btw:
Basically in theory both spent 2 days. Like we don't know if Zora left at night and arrived at night. If that's the case it's the same time as Vanessa. Vanessa's ep includes the before leaving and the arrival. Zora's doesn't which makes:
Zora’s ep day time = circular and a cicle
Vanessa’s ep day time = oscillating but a cicle
But I do believe since that mf was fucking walking aura farming, he left at night and arrived at night DUZGEUZIDGEUZGD
Aaaand for the preview of Vanessa's episode Zora says "guess the lush is going home too huh?"
So It's the same ep confirmed.
Final thoughts:
I have no conclusion. That's just it, same episode in different fonts. For what reason? I DONT KNOW- BUT IT BOTHERS ME and that's it.
Thank you for reading.
Zonessa brainrot goes hard
