Hi! If this isn’t a spoiler, I kinda know who’s the strongest Round Table knight physically, but in OKS, who’s got the strongest mental strength / willpower (Arthur excluded) 👀

Merlin. Hey, they're one of the three Enchanter Knights of Britannia, so it counts, right? But I suppose if Arthur gets excluded, then...

Not Lancelot.

Not Tristan or Yvain or any of the other knights known for going batshit and running through the woods nakers.

Probably Percival or Bedivere. Gawain, Bors the Younger, and Gaheris would be pretty high up there too.

I have connected the dots! I think Yvain is Malik Izem, the Sacramento Kings player, for the following reasons:

His name. Malik means King / Owner / Master while Izem means Lion. Who is known for frolicking around on adventures with his pet lion? That's right, Yvain!

He plays in the team "Sacramento Kings". Merlin says that the harbingers are drawn by Arthurian things like how the MC live in Avalon apartments. So it is possible that the same is happening to Malik (unless I don't remember correctly).

Demons are after the harbingers. They even know MC's secret. There's a scene where a TV/monitor is possesed by a demon and it is MC (secret) and Lorelei who appear there, but then it mentions a game between ??? and Cavaliers. It is possible that they mean a match between Sacramento Kings (where Malik plays) and Cleveland Cavaliers (where Eze Ilozumba plays). So it seems that Malik is on the demons radar (and/or Eze).

That's all. I just wanted to share this thought.

And here's another theory for the theorycrafters! I think this is probably the first time that anyone's mentioned Malik or Eze too.

Are Cuckoolander individuals common? Merlin says that they have gone through equivalent journeys before. Is there always a Cuckoolander? Is it every other time? How often is it multiple like MC and Percy?

You mean the Second Lesser Circle back in 2020? I suppose you could say that the Fake Yvain was acting a bit like that, but nowhere near the same level as Percy or potentially the Cloudcuckoolander MC.

Merlin is mostly used to those kinds of shenanigans from their stint at Camelot. There were certainly... characters... back then. Percival would be the most well known, but even some of the more level headed knights could start running through the woods starkers because their love rejected them. *stares at Lancelot, Tristan, and Yvain*

I'm still waiting around for a big weirdo with a pet lion to pop up and then continuously get rescued by a no-nonsense fairy lady

And maybe it'll be the real one this time instead of an Imposter! Maybe. Hope springs eternal!

Well obviously ̶̇̊͒̋͜4̸̼̕͜0̸͖̭̎͝4̴̹͈̍ is just all the Elaines and Ywains unionizing to wipe out all the other names in existence

It's okay, as long as we have all the Alains and Lacs on our side, we can still take them! Just beware of potential saboteurs within our group. (After all, 'Yvain' already did that once.)
