hehe, this was a fun week :DD I won't have much to say about this ep, as it was just trying to put together some threads and then throwing some extra leads because this show has to throw information overloads at us every episode. You had some fun theories too XDD Can't wait until you need to start making a proper conspiracy on your board like that one meme. Manically Connecting dots and threads and explaining how you have it figured out. Anyway, excited for episode 8!!

What about the other chibi? Did you only watch Old Neil's class?

The final step for Klein to digest the potion being the acceptance that divination is not omnipotent/seers are not infallible I find really intriguing. Mainly because I'm most familiar with Christian doctrine on the Christian and Jewish God being an omnipotent and infallible being, but I know in many other religions gods are not seen as supreme beings who are all-knowing. So for one of the earlier steps in Klein's chosen path of the Divine to be the acknowledgement that he isn't such a being, and his power is not supreme, if the end goal of the Sequences is to become a god/goddess then it's already setting up from the beginning that the gods/goddesses of this world are not omnipotent. But it is also intriguing how acceptance of divination being lacking in this way is actually what gives Klein the power and ability to see into the past so clearly. In this week's "What pop culture references does LotM make Annie think of?" 🤣 The moment after Klein fully digests the Seer potion and is shown as that blue streak winding through the buildings and the airships, it really reminds me of how the Harry Potter movies depicted the spell Apparate. And then the final scene of events from a month prior made me go, "What in Rosemary's Baby?? Uh-uh!" 😂 LotM definitely has some of the best psychological horror depiction I've seen in animated form...sometimes a little too well with how horrific some scenes can be. So many connections stemming from even before Zhou Mingrui transmigrated (with things that happened with Emperor Roselle influencing current events). I also love the imagery used with Audrey for the explanation about the Spectator sequence. The tragicomic masks makes me think of her as an audience member watching the show (life) play out before her, but with the red strings she can touch to affect a change it's like she can also take a hidden director's role to facilitate a change of events. But can I say, the minute you said you wanted Psychiatrist Suzy an image immediately came to my mind: Suzy with glasses on her snout, sitting with a notepad and pen, listening intently to a patient 🤣🥺 They say dogs are good for your mental health, so maybe a Beyonder dog is even better 😆 Yeah, Klein just out here pretty much blaspheming a god after that absolutely horrific experience last episode with his skin burning and peeling off...it's no wonder Audrey and Alger are so willing to believe him to be a deity. This was one of the moments I wanted to shout at him: fake it 'til you make it does not work in every scenario!

Some interesting remarks: 1. The name “Secret Order” often gets confused with “Secret Organizations” but this might be a problem in translation. The Chinese name for Secret Order is “密修会” (Mi Xiu Hui), which is more similar to the name for the Moses 摩斯 (Mo Si) Acetic Order 苦修会 (Ku Xiu Hui). The difference between “Mi Xiu Hui” (the secret order) and “Ku Xiu Hui” lies in the fact that 密 Mi stands for esoteric and 苦 Ku stands for suffering and hardship, while Xiu in both terms means to cultivate. A more proper translation could be “Esoteric Cultivation Order”. In 说文 Shuo Wen, an ancient Chinese dictionary from the 2nd Century CE, Mi stands for 山如堂者 Mountain that is in the Shape of a Room, which extends to the meaning of secrecy. In traditional religious and philosophical terms (such as in Mi Zong 密宗, Esoteric Buddhism / Vajrayana) specifically signifies esoteric knowledge, teachings that are hidden not because they are illegal, but because they require specialized initiation, deep study, or spiritual readiness to understand. 2. Some notes on philology, not so relevant perhaps. It might be interesting to wonder why black and yellow are associated with heaven and earth in ancient china. It’s important to note, the character 玄 Xuan for black in the good luck ritual’s version of black and yellow, is different from the one used in Klein’s incantation 黑Hei. In 说文 Shuo Wen, 玄 Xuan was explained as 幽遠也 hidden and afar 黑而有赤色者爲玄 the black with a hue of red is Xuan 象幽而入覆之也 symbolizes secrecy like one is about to be covered up. The character written on oracle bones for Xuan seems to symbolize silk, thus leading scholars to think that it likely came from dyeing silk. In 周礼 Zhou Li (the rules of etiquette for the Zhou Dynasty) Zhong dyed feathers, 三入為纁。五入為緅。七入為緇 dyeing three times produces 纁 Xun which was bright red, five times and it produces 緅 Zou which was red, and seven times produces 緇 Zi which was black. Thus “the black with a hue of red” likely came from how black was produced from dye. In 周易 Zhou Yi 文言 Wen Yan, 夫玄黄者,天地之杂也,天玄而地黄 Xuan and Huang were the colour of Heaven and Earth intertwined, the Heaven is Xuan and the Earth is Huang (the color of the earth in Shuo Wen). My guess is that this could be because the Sun, Moon, and Stars were thought as vehicles travelling in the sky rather than the sky itself, and thus what remains is black.

Something I'm really enjoying of this reactions, aside from your wonderful commentary and really insightful discussions, is how many more details I'm seeing this time around. The rewatchability of this show is great. I hadn't noticed that the Seer pathway was the secret pathway from the Antigunous family, or the fact that the Antigunous family was not Emperor's Rosselle's family when I first watched this show x'D You know, the fact that Klein recognizing that he can't depend completely on his seer abilities was what made him finally finishing absorbing the potion makes so much sense. In a sense, I guess it is like the potion itself making sure that you are ready to become a god with the fewest possibilities of you losing control, and I can't see someone that rellys completely on his abilities as someone that would have the control necessary to handle the higher sequences. You need to recognize that as incredible as these powers are and how much they change you, they are only what you make of them; and only then you can move forward. Also, I don't know if you ever read or heard of the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson, but that whole moment with Klein digesting the potion made me think of it. I watched this show with my brother, and we could never keep a straight face whenever Klein was meeting with Alger and Audrey and both of them were so in awe of Klein who is winging everything by the seat of his pants and somehow appearing mysterious and powerful enough for them. Like, these two think him so powerful and they are giving him half of the answers they want xD It's hilarious to me to this day and one of my favorite aspects of this series. And, I suppose it's also a really nice commentary in how me make our own deities by giving them power over us. It works in multiple levels! Oh my goodness, Psychiatrist Suzie is a hilarious thought that I really need to see developed now. No, seriously, the only reason Klein is still alive is because he has impecable luck. Because this man has no self-preservation instincts at all. He got completely burned somewhat accidentally looking at a deity? No biggie, we'll also try to look into the mind of a beyonder who went berseker. I mean, it worked for him, but I'm glad that Dunn at least gets to scold him. Merigose is casually dropping the line "my baby hums and sings for me" and *nobody* here is reacting like that is problematic? Uhhh, nah. Nope. I would be out of there in an instant. Couldn't be me, that's terrifying.

Whiteboard kun is fighting for his life in this reaction series! You remember that fanfic of shipping your white board and marker? If there’s ever another written they might have to introduce the binder as a character that saves whiteboard kun! 😋 Thanks for the video!

Be Happy

The chibis are organized to correspond to the right episodes … don’t worry, we ve got this 😉

romaniablack

That's all that was "given" to me to react to for this week! :D Thanks for the comment!

romaniablack

SUCH a fun week, indeed! Thank you for staying mysterious and getting my brain tingling at all the possibilities! Hahaha, and oohhhhh, yeah, the threads in all this...conspiracy-board sama could get in on that! Thank you for the comment and ONWARDS to the Rule of 8!!! :D

romaniablack

Whiteboard-kun is getting a WORK OUT and fighting for his life, hahaha!! And if Official Cloud Bakery sees these reactions, they're likely to take off with the "lore" of all my other inanimate "helpers" on this channel! Hahaha!! Thank you for the comment!

romaniablack

That is a great point about omnipotence and how we view “divine” beings in this world! Well said! And yessss, I can totally see the Harry Potter apparition scene in my head with that moment for Klein as well! Also, totally agree that the horror in this series is really scary! Legitimately creepy. I am REALLY curious about Gustav and what we’re going to get on our “emperor” as we go through the series. The imagery with Audrey and the Spectator sequence is so beautifully animated! And AHAHAHA, I can just picture Suzy with the glasses, notepad, and pen – intently listening to Leonard as he lays on the couch. “I’m flirting SO HARD but he’s not noticing ANYTHING I do!” XD YES – “Fake it til you make it doesn’t work every time!” EXACTLY – Klein is so brazen and really is tempting fate, here. SIR. Such a cat – I imagine him as the type of cat that would knock a glass of water off the shelf just out of sheer curiosity or spite. 😛 Thank you so much for the comment!

romaniablack

Thank you SO much for the comment and explaining this! Also, your name has such an awesome translation! Love that! This information was really helpful!

I totally am on board with the re-watchability with this series; I can’t wait to re-watch in the English dub, but thank you for the kind words; glad you’re enjoying my rambles! The Antigonous Family SURE get around and have some clout, eh? I love that Klein is able to absorb his potion by humbling himself a little, haha! And yes, to make sure you’re ready and reducing the possibility of losing control! I love that idea as well with this. I have not read the Stormlight Archive series, but it sounds good! Alger and Audrey in awe of Klein just makes you want to facepalm, since he’s winging it ALL. Yes, it does work on so many levels, though, with the meta realization that these “deities” - at least Klein so far - are just normal people. I guess we’ll see more on that later! Or I hope, anyway. And yes, Klein just has so much LUCK – but yes, no self-preservation instincts at ALL. SIR. Dunn would scold him SO much if he knew, but at least he scolds him a little. Come on, show, give me Psychiatrist Suzie. We all deserve this. Hahaha!! Merigose is giving ALL the red flags – hahaha – Klein’s like, “Oh, that’s weird.” While we the audience are freaking out, hahaha! I guess we’ll see where it goes! Thank you for the comment!
