[spoilers] Ranking of Kings episode 3 discussion

Another beautiful episode with lots of heartwarming moments!

Loved how Apeas made quick work of Bebin.

My opinion of the Queen has changed drastically in this episode. She actually bothered to use sign language when communicating with Bojji. She also didn't want him going out of the tower through the window and healed his injuries. Guess I was wrong when I said that she didn't care about him at all. Totally misjudged her. The flashbacks remind me of picture books. Love it!!!

Regarding Daida, I have a feeling that he's being manipulated by the magic mirror. I reckon it will be like Dororo where the younger brother gets corrupted by evil. Hmm...

Heartwarming moments like these and the flashback with Hiling and Bojji help alleviate the pain from watching poor Bojji suffer.

Getting to see Queen Hilings soft side and her interactions with Bojji were truly heart warming

curious to know what that devil-ish thing was and what the step brother is plotting. we got to know queen hilling is more than just an evil step mother. a very packed and great ep.

Honestly I love how this show can go from really sad to really touching and then have a sprinkle of amazing fighting in it so far loving this show

Adore the layers they gave to Hiling's character and to she and Bojji's relationship. Another stunning episode.

What another great episode, I can't wait to see Bojji adventure through!
And what was that about Bebin's death, it's also was too simple so it has to be Kage right?

Another amazing episode!! Queen Hiling is more likable unlike in episode 1&2. Based on Apeas vs Bebin fight, I can foresee some major conflicts between Bojji and Daida. That magic mirror need to go too after something suspiciously happened to Bebin after taking a fatal blow from Apeas

Every episode that goes on convinces me more and more that this is a top 3 anime this season for me. That was such a fantastic episode. Hilling's backstory with Bojji was amazing and I'm glad Bojji finally got a motherly figure in his life. Can't wait for next episode

  I have a feeling Daida’s being manipulated by the magic mirror

  I mean probably and he's still a kid so is easily led to do things that are wrong and since no one is there to tell him otherwise , he perceives it as being normal not to mention children tend to be overly mean sometimes since they cannot control themselves but yeah annoys me.

I LOVE BOJJI SO MUCH IT HURTS MY SOUL TO SEE HIM UPSET

I'm wondering if Bojji's father made a pact with that red demon (similar to Dororo). The King may have made a pact with the demon in order to become more powerful and as a result of the pact, it's possible that the demon demanded the strength of the King's first-born son. It could be a good explanation on why Bojji is incredibly small in size compared to everyone else.

  That actually makes a lotta sense, but we're still just 3 episodes in tho lol
  
  I have a feeling that demon will come back soon

I DONT LIKE HOW OBVIOUS IS WHAT SHE SAID T.T AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN T.T SHE IS SUCH A CARING MOM... she cares for Boji, for Daida and even for the kingdom, because let's be real, a king who can't communicate with it's people is not a suitable one, sadly.

That fight scene with the spymaster's death was excellent, they did outstanding with such a simple and quick duel. Really loved it. Excited to see Bojji's adventure but I really want Kage back

Did Pepsi die or did he just sink?

  The Bepis guy

i dont believe the snake guy is 'evil'. He showed skepticism towards the magic mirror and how it may be controlling daida. I think he faked his death so that he can investigate the mirror and somewhat protect the kingdom. He clearly does not care about bojji but i think he cares about the kingdom

they had us in the first half with the wicked stepmother trope ngl

It is a shame I don't see that many people talking about how fucking GOOD this scene is animated.

Watching this episode made me really sad that we may never get a season 2. It's easily top 2 shows of this season but has only a fraction of the popularity it deserves.

This is infinitely better than Platinum End, Takt op, KnY don't @ me

I really hope Daida doesn’t kill his mom off, the queen’s statements at the end doesn’t sit well with me. I also hope that Daida doesn’t stage an assassination attempt on Bojji during his journey. I really hope i’m wrong about both inferences!
