attack on titan season 3 episode 2 jujutsu kaisen 248 scan vf gratuitous meaning
Ragna abruptly awakens, finding the teleportation circle did work but everything else was a dream. Starlia is gone, only 80 corps members and 600 civilians survived, and the civilians are angry without shelter, food or any plan what to do next. Ragna suddenly senses and kills Ultimatia, only for time to stop as a dozen copies of her appear. She explains she is actually Carla, a Dragon Scourge of the Solarian Church revered as the Time Saintess, and while she resembles Ultimatia’s face and magic, she is not her. After rewinding the dead copy to revive her she reveals Starlia’s assassin Nazarena is actually a church member sent to manipulate Starlia into joining the church. Without Starlia the church refuses to offer sanctuary to the 600 civilians, unless Ragna replaces Starlia and becomes a Scourge.That’s actually probably my favourite part of the show. We do see the MC make legitimate strides to better himself and by the end of the show he’s a solid dude. Each problem he solves feels realistic and has a tangible effect on him.
The other main issue I have with the show is the art and animation. The character designs are extremely generic, they’re basically the 2017-2023 anime design starter packs. From what I’ve seen of the LN art they really don’t do these characters any justice. There’s a few moments that are supposed to be somewhat serious that just don’t hit for me because of the lack of expressiveness from the character models. I’m not saying it has to be ufotable, but damn, I should at least be able to sense some sort of emotion coming from the characters.
Despite my criticisms of the series, I did enjoy stretches of it. It starts slow but really picks up once a few side characters are introduced and there’s some really enjoyable moments in this anime. If you can look past the shoddy animation and inconsistent pacing at the start, you’ll find a decent watch with a decently written main character.
