Rays Recollection incoherent rambling. Spoilers obviously.
“This is a tale of recollecting memories, that proves that even if you lose everything, the memories engraved in your heart will never disappear. This is your story.” what does this mean, Rays, explain to me. This is so ominous.
Doesn’t seem Kodama and the other Recollection characters come from Tir na Nog? (seems to take place in Isavelle (sp?), Neo-Idea Kingdom?) Why are they attacking Ix (also attacking the nexuses? huh?)? Fake Baldr retreating when he saw Ix and Mileena?? So many questions...... so many vague stuff lol. confusion. I’m intrigued.
Ix’s rainbow? gem? thing? tasting like bitter memories? huh... Kodama’s line where he says memories have tastes (and that he looks forward to tasting our memories lmao), also the fact that he can hear Phantoms (while we’re at this, he has his... headphones? thing? too), something ordinary people can’t do... he’s an Interesting character. On top of his personality, I actually like his dynamic with Haze too.
Speaking of Haze, she seems to have trouble remembering the past? Also obviously, definitely, she is older than she seems. The King who has problems recollecting her memories, and the boy who looks up to her and aspires to be her right hand, who can taste memories? Intriguing pair lol. My fav so far.
Some notes:
Kodama grew up as an Abandoned person (棄民) who knows nothing of his origin, not even his parents or actual name. Yet despite this he becomes a Reaper? Death Knight? how do you guys translate 死神騎士 lol. So from what I got, Isavelle is protected by Aegis and the colony that houses the Abandoned people isn’t. Seems like they’re treated as second class too from the way that Death Knight treats Kodama in the end.
Only those who are far removed from humanity can be Death Knights. There’s a... throwaway? (not really?) line where Iris says the Phantoms took away her “voice.” Character designs imply something too... fake Baldr with eyepatch. Iris with megaphone. Seirios with prosthetic. That part in the OP too, where the lyrics are like “How much have we fought? How much have we lost? To the point where we can’t remember what we’ve lost” and the animation was like... Seirios touching his prosthetic leg, Iris touching her throat, Liwanna her body, fake Baldr his eyepatch... interesting...........
Speaking of which what is this Idea value? human..... energy..... index...? huh? Basically only those with low Idea can be Death Knights. The Kingdom is named Neo-Idea too like lol. Could it be based on the Platonic Idea?
I wonder if Ix’s memory being fuzzy in the beginning has any kind of plot importance...????? later on????? since they seem to focus a lot on memories.........
EDIT: almost forgot that the Phantom that is kinda unusually strong takes the form of Seirios? even if just for a bit. huh. what does that mean (I keep asking this)
but well I’m sold lol looking forward to the next part. still tho. all this talk of “losing everything but it will still live on in your memories” “we are Reapers who come to end your story” scares me lmao
