Emul is terrified Rakuro plans to fight Wethermon and rushes to tell Vysache. Rakuro later learns why from Arthur; in Shangri-La if an NPC dies they are dead and gone permanently, Emul will never respawn and her role in the unique Vorpal scenario will be over. 11"The Glimmer of Truth"
Transliteration: "Makoto no Kagayaki" (Japanese: まことのかがやき)Ayumi KurashimaKazuyuki FudeyasuTakebumi AnzaiDecember 10, 2023 (2023-12-10) Vysache is unhappy with Rakuro's plans, but Rakuro explains Ashura Kai are exploiting a game mechanic; harvesting experience by starting a fight with Wethermon, then running away without actually fighting. Arthur plans to give Wethermon the fight he deserves. Vysache feels sympathy for Wethermon, cursed with being undead and unable to join his wife in the afterlife, so instead Wethermon guards her tomb. Granting him death is therefore honorable and true to the Vorpal Soul. Vysache takes Rakuro's Vorpal Chopper knives and personally “ascends” them, combining Rakuro's experience of fighting Lycagon with the armor of the Quad Beetle, resulting in the Vorpal knives Moonblade (Waxing) and Moonblade (Waning), one
which sacrifices health for powerful strikes, and one that restores health at the same speed as it is lost. Unfortunately, he must be level 50 to use them, meaning he needs to go up 19 levels in only two weeks. Arthur sends him and Katzo to train in the futuristic Iron Ruins of the Divinity near Sixenveldt, though Rakuro is confused when Arthur gives him a fishing rod, claiming he will definitely need it to survive the ruins. 12"Regrets Always Lie in the Past"

defeating sentry robots, Rakuro and Katzo follow Arthurs' complicated map to a hidden room within the ruins rumored to be tailored for fast levelling. Emul is amazed by Rakuro's explanation that Katzo is a man in a female character body.
Thorkell is mighty and larger than life. Given the setting and his culture, his character somewhat fits but to an extend also ruins the tone; multiple
sequences and lines are straight from B-grade action films, one of the worst offenders being his debut at the first episode. Still, the ones that left me with the sourest of impressions are Thors and Canute, enough to include separate explanations at the plot section.
(+) Despite my distaste for multiple characters, one
fascinated me deeply: Askeladd, the deuteragonist.
He is a ruthless and callous commander but also compelling, being calculated and abusing obfuscating blitheness to take advantage of his enemies’ carelessness. But this is only the peak of the iceberg, as we are gradually shown more fascinating facets (e. g. being a “stealth mentor” and a person forged by tragedy). He is also morally myopic and commits multiple atrocities, but this makes him more than a mere villain or anti-hero, he is over half of the show’s magic.
Askeladd aside, I believe some side characters served their selected roles well. One of them is King Sweyn, whom I deem fit as an aged and jaded ruler.
