This came to me in a vision

[lily-drake]

Arnold is way more expressive in the manga than the show.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the show, but I wish they gave him at least a little more or the same amount of facial reaction he has in the manga.

He openly, full belly laughs at her and her reactions/final request when they first meet.

We lost this most beautiful scene when they first arrive at Galkhein.

When she says she wants a ring the color of his eyes he literally DROPS his pose from pure shock where in the show he doesn’t have much of a reaction at all.

Speaking of shock, he’s VERY open when it comes to her doing/saying something he considers unexpected.

Even better are his pouting/annoyed/tired-of-this-BS faces. I NEEDED that face palm when he found her out during the cadet training, but it wasn’t there…😭

Best of all are his “that’s my girl”/“I love my woman” faces. Like there is so much sass this man posses that we just don’t fully see in the show.

I want more of THESE faces in the anime, because this man does in fact have facial reactions/emotions when it comes to his wife and I NEED to see it portrayed on screen.

Actually want to know something I absolutely love about 7th Time Loop

It's the fact that Amekawa-Sensei herself confirmed that Raul does in fact have feelings for Rishe in this timeline, but he saw Rishe and then he saw Arnold and then he saw them both together and than saw them both together fighting and went "Well screw that, nuh uh, I wish them a lifetime of happiness actually, respectfully could not be me". He decided he's just gonna like her in secret because he isn't crazy enough to be part of a love triangle between those two.

Your honor I love him with all my heart, only sane person in this entire story🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕💕💕💕💕💕

Arnold is full of crap

In the latest episode Arnold says this:

And he says it all threatening. Like, “if you do anything that will get in my way, I’ll ’get rid of you’”. And you know what, I’ve got The Receipts that this man is full of crap, and I’m here to expose him!!!!

“Don’t make me rid of you” my butt. P.S. there’s no sin in the novels. If you want context I’m happy to explain it later.

Ok I got this reply about how we actually know so little about Arnold despite how much we've learned about him by @wondering-lazer and I would like to thank them because now I get to rant about this (I tried to reply but there was too much I wanted to say so I'm just making it a post)

Arnold is the most interesting character in the novel for me.

The way he is written is actually so freaking interesting because the story is from Rishe's pov most of the time so even if Arnold is being honest with her we only learn about the things he's willing to tell her. We slowly learn about him (the past with his father and siblings, the truth about his mother) and about his plans (or more like the plans he has for each arc), only because those are the things he decides to be open about with Rishe.

In truth Arnold is still an enigma. We know he loves Rishe it's obvious, but why did he fall for her so quickly because I simply will never believe Arnold can be reduced to the "She's interesting" trope. I am a firm "Arnold remembers the loops" believer so that would make sense but he never interacted much with Rishe in all the past loops so still, him falling for her so fast doesn't make sense. (actually I have a whole other theory about this but I need to finish vol 6 first to see if I learn anything new before I post that)

Also we know Arnold is not a great guy™, like sure he's the best and we love him, and he is genuinely a good guy, but he can be every bit of a villain he claims he is. We still don't know what pushed him to actually stage a coup and kill 7tlhis very evil psychotic maniac of a DNA donor which richly deserved it, but most importantly why he started to stage war in all those different kingdoms.

But he did stage war and he did kill thousands and even now he has show moments of the same kind of cruelty as the Emperor Arnold Hein of the past. Just as Rishe has deemed, we need to find the actual reason why Arnold finally snapped in the past loops to actually fully understand Arnold.

And still there are so many things left unanswered. What are his future goals now that Rishe has intervened? What has he asked Raul to look for in secret and keeping it hidden from Rishe? Does he actually remember the past loops?

There is still so much we have yet to learn about him, the things we know are just the tip of the iceberg and the day we finally get the full Arnold lore is the day I will sleep in peace.

RIP Arnold’s Sanity

This poor man just wants needs a break.

He’s so tired of her BS but he still loves her, and I live for his exasperation.

You can hear the mental expletives without them being written.

Arnold: If you want to see the fireflies better, then just come over to my balcony. Rishe: Sure! I can make that, it’s only like a 1/2 meter jump!☺️ Arnold: Wait, what?! Rishe: *jumps* Arnold: *mentally* THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT! THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!! F* F* F************!!!!!!!

Someone needs to give this man an Advil, stat.🪦🤣
