That one time I made a post on Twitter about how Sir Pentious' character could've gone in the story 3 days before the finale.

It did numbers...

And in a way it came true...

WOAH!!

Good Omens S3 director speculations

Hiya Shems! :)

In the last few days there have been a few suspicious things on social media regarding S3 - but bear in mind that nothing has been officialy said ;) :)

The Good Omens HQ and Terry Pratchett Estate account started rebloging posts from Rachel Talalay on twitter and bluesky.

There are photos from Edinburgh zoo.

A month ago Rachel Talalay posted that she is going for a few months filming in which her name has not been announced yet.

So, we know that she is in Edinburgh, for a few months filming, and GO HQ and TP account are suspiciously reblogging her posts. 🧐 :)

Who is Rachel Talalay? - She is an american director and producer who also worked on british shows such as Doctor Who and Sherlock.

Her and David while working on DW :).

So... yeah. :) Let's wait for the official announcement, but the clues are leading this way :)),

:D <3

Another idea, what if he's telling Jinx to let go of something.

She's the one stuck in the past despite every claim to move on beyond it. What if he finally reaches her (possibly in his own misery and grief). That to go forward, you need to let go sometimes.

Finally met the God of Death ☺️

Now some thoughts and speculations under read more!

In Arena, the god of death is Annih, Dura's brother. There Graveborns came from him neglecting his duties and he is responsible for Hypogeans (he created them from his blood).

I suspect that Journey either has different lore or! The god we met is NOT Annih.

So, let's bring up Morgan. I must warn you, I might be wrong but it sounds to me like GOD and Morgan have the same voice actor

They both have a rather smug attitude too. There's a chance we might learn more about Morgan when the Age of Calamity ends. His connection to the death deity is strong, whether he's beefing with GOD or Annih, whom he later on succeeds as the current God of Death.

But, it's just my silly speculations, they might as well just did major changes and made the design look less like Niru, cause oh my, Arena Annih does look like Niru with that scythe and long hair

Small edit 14.12.2025

I was thinking about GOD's dialogue, I included most interesting parts with other screenshots of him. This is far from the first time our Merlin met a god, he calls them "my current Merlin" and is VERY familiar with them.

And the second dialogue option when we met Morgan. At first I didn't understand it, because I went straight to EoD, but after finishing CoE it all makes sense

Sooo... I woke up to THESE news from the Annecy International Animation Festival:

I'm happy they're throwing us a bone after such a long time, but at the same time... incredibly sad that Taigen WON'T be going to London with Mizu.

I wrote a lengthy post in which I explained why him staying in Japan would be a waste of a potential character development. Furthermore, his relationship with Mizu would have little chance to evolve, since they won't be... like... seeing each other for a long time?

It's XVIIth century we're talking about, so the mere journey to London would take almost a year. One way! It means it will be at least TWO years before Mizu reunites with the rest of the party.

Of course there are great plots in the history of the animation, where the main character separates from his friends for a long time, then comes back and everything is changed - Naruto and One Piece being great examples of how well it played out.

But with Mizu I'm a bit sceptical. I don't doubt the talents of Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, but I still hoped Mizu would be accompanied by at least ONE of her companions - if not Taigen, then Ringo - to London. In comparison to Naruto or Luffy her friendships aren't fully developed - they've just started to form. Started! So... separating her from everybody now kind of ruins the continuity of the plot for me, I guess? Let's just hope it will play better than I expect.

Of course, this could also be a HUGE bluff, and the creators do plan to send someone else to London, but after an episode or two, the way we don't suspect anything.

We know from experience how they love to manipulate viewers perceptions - in season one they made us believe Mizu was living as a man her whole life and never tried normal life, but in episode five- BAM! We got flashbacks of her being married. It was brilliant how they kept it from us for such a long time. Perhaps that's the plan for the next season as well? Make us believe she's all alone in London, then suddenly she gets company?

We also know that they love to create confusion in the interviews - they've said, ages ago, how much they want to continue their Mizu- Taigen - Akemi love triangle, and there was a sugesstion of Mizu kissing Akemi in season two, which caused a lot of raised eyebrows in the fandom, because it would be quite difficult to execute, with Mizu leaving for London and all.

Anyway, I'm a bit worried now, but still hopeful in some way. Give me a legit trailer, dammit!

What are your thoughts? Are you happy about Blue Eye Samurai taking place simultaneously in London and Japan?

If I were Jasper’s maker I would be in two minds about rescuing him from the Talamasca basement

On one hand, that’s my fledgling and I probably want to help

On the other, he chased a stupid boy and got himself fried and rolled into a carpet, and that’s a big blow to both of our reputations, so maybe he needs to suffer the consequences of his actions a little

Concept Art Differences: Vayne

The official concept illustrations of Vayne Solidor, drawn by Akihiko Yoshida, offer insight into the early visual direction of both characters. Larsa's concept is nearly identical to his final in-game model. However, Vayne's concept art includes several subtle differences from how he appears in-game.

Hair Length: In the concept illustration, Vayne's hair is slightly shorter. In the game model, his hair reaches the chest ornaments and the topmost edge of the red pattern on his back, while in the concept art it falls just short of touching these areas.

Shoulder Pad Detail: The grey shoulder pads in Vayne’s concept are engraved with decorative carvings. This detail doesn't appear in the game model, and the shoulder armor appears smooth. Notably, the decorated version of the shoulder pad reappears in Vayne's Dissidia NT PSN render icon.

Knee Guards Color: In the concept art, Vayne’s ornate knee guards are colored white. In the game model, this area was changed to match the color of his trousers.

Halmarut's Note: Bit out of topic here, but we noticed this when observing Vayne's model. Vayne’s stomach is slightly curved and the way his belt sits lower gives the model a more grounded, lifelike feel. Very cute for an antagonist.
