So, was Yorna part of the mega viewing or did she go to Lugunica because of Tanza and/or Abel?

She was indeed part of the viewing. As was Tanza. As was the entirety of the Pleiades Battalion, who basically charged across Lugunica en masse to reunite with Schwartz-sama (giving does-not-know-why-these-hardened-criminals-are-barreling-towards-him-Subaru a heart attack in the process and causing Wilhelm to very nearly start a war on his behalf).

Olbart was also there. At one point he shows up while Subaru, Yorna, and Tanza are having a Girl’s Day and nearly gives the latter two a seizure. It gets worse because Subaru leaps in to keep his companions from beating up a Harmless Old Man, and then Olbart takes full advantage of this to screw with Yorna and Tanza for the rest of the day by playing up the Old Man act and getting Subaru to like. Walk him across the street and shit.

BTZ just got so much funnier oh my god

Subaru, hugging his beloved pet alone in his room: They’re gonna kill my rabbit. I messed up, they found my pet, they’re gonna kill my pet. Stupid, stupid, stupid, why do I always mess things up, I don’t want to lose my—!

Meanwhile—

Wilhelm: I can’t believe I’m arguing to keep the Sin Archbishop of Greed alive right now, but Subaru already named that fucking rabbit and I don’t have the heart to take it away from him

Julius: Subaru named that horrible rabbit Mister Fluffermittens, I can’t tell him that we have to kill Mister Fluffermittens

Olbart: Look, the Sin Archbishop is functionally harmless now, so surely we can let Subaru keep Mister Fluffermittens, right?

Anastasia: Can’t we get him any other pet??

Wilhelm: He already named it. He’s attached. It’s too late.

Rem: How did this even happen??

Vincent, to his own useless Generals: How the FUCK did you guys mess up this badly, you had ONE JOB—!

In the cases of both Dogshow or BTZ, are there any characters either cast would be Absolutely hunting on sight? Might there be others than the Cult or Whale?

Elsa is one of them, except then Meili starts begging Emilia to let her keep her big sister and so now Elsa is Emilia’s personal knight, which nobody is happy about.

Olbart is another. Except he shows up when Yorna and Tanza are out as Schwartz’s Totally Normal Gal Pals and then Subaru ends up jumping in to defend him while scolding the two of them for nearly getting violent with a Helpless Old Man, which Olbart is more than happy to play into.

That’s pretty much how all of this ends up going yeah

Ok, hypothetically speaking. Let's suppose for whatever reason, Todd is nearby during BTZ, and somehow they end up drinking in the tavern or something, having a good time.

People freak out and try to separate them and yet Subaru keeps trying to spend time with the one guy not coddling him.

Just like the rabbit, this also makes them lose their minds.

You’re gonna like Olbart’s role in BTZ I think

I must say that a large number/bunch of powerful people showing up to Al to seal his authority is also funny in the sense that from Al’s perspective, initially, it probably looks (at least vaguely) like this.

Oh it probably looks so much funnier than that.

So like, I don’t REALLY have a plan yet, but — they’d probably have to take him by surprise, right? Cause he tends to reset his checkpoint every 15 seconds or so, and he’s fully willing to kill himself, and they’d have no way of knowing if he’s gone back in time yet or not.

Anyway the current idea is that Aldebaran is minding his fucking business when Olbart (who’s supposed to be IN VOLLACHIA) shows up, turns him into a ten-year-old, and then he gets arrested by an entire fucking ARMY.

Question for BtzAL, why dont they just kill him instead of deaging? Like im pretty sure releasing the witch of envy basically makes you get the death penalty (not even mentioning hijacking volcanica and all of that other stuff) Also throwaway but how exactly will they react to Volcanica basically being a soulless husk, will they like try to make him function again be it with a book of the dead or smth else?

Trying to find a way to kill him WAS the original plan, but like. How would they do that, exactly. He’s got the I Won’t Die curse, and if they fuck it up even ONCE then they’ve completely lost their element of surprise.

(Plus, the Vollachians…may have decided that they had a responsibility to save his life, after all they did. And there’s no reason to kill him if he’s been rendered harmless, right?)

As for Volcanica — I think they’re just in silent agreement that Crusch was absolutely right and they should just break their pact and let that thing rest in peace lmao

In a previous post you mentioned various people in BTZ 3 and their reaction to how much themselves and/or others have messed up in regards to Subaru. But what would Vincent’s reaction be? Would there be at least a minute or two where he legitimately considers Cecilus’s suggestion of adopting Subaru into the Vollachian Royal Family? (Subaru having the additional name addon of “van Astrea Vollachia” would cause SOO MANY people to be utterly terrified of him and I love it.)

Besides Vincent, Cecilus, and the 900+ people of the Pleiades Battalion, was there anyone else from Vollachia who got sent back in time?

Well, the thing is: that wasn’t Cecilus’ suggestion. That was Vincent’s plan from the start. And yes, he IS still hoping that this could be a solution! Cecilus, meanwhile, keeps trying to sneak into Subaru’s room so that he can spend time with him and cheer him up. He’s not very successful because everyone is fending him off with brooms.

Medium and Flop both went back with everyone else, and possibly Taritta, too. Olbart would be too funny to not have join the fray, so he’s here as well. Haven’t decided on the rest yet.
