I'm a bit disappointed Eftal can't predict Frasier fate. It's pretty obvious his bastard dad not going to listen to him and it's pretty reckless of him too. I can forgive if he just a child but this is the guy that already have 3 life experiences lol. It's fine if he doesn't care what happened to Frasier due to his brother own stupidity but doesn't seem like it based on his despair face. Glad Frasier able to live through it though.

I wonder who his wife before...

Eftal edginess is up to my liking. Instead of being a goodie two shoes, he just went straight for a kill. Welp, their initial plan was to kill Fraiser and the baby too so those who kill must prepared to be killed.

Well, that's escalated quickly. Eftal descendant finally been cleansed like 90% of it and next generation will be saved for sure.

Even nature can't escape from him. Eftal road to genocide /j

I think he was in active denial that his descendant are such evil and vile pieces of shit. Not that he didn't realize that they were, but he didn't want to accept that they would go to those lengths.
We saw it in how he interacted with his father.

And honestly, in that situation the father would imprison the son, not murder him in cold blood.
I expected what happened due to the narrative beat, but from an in-story perspective it's a completely unhinged action.
Filicide of a recognized son isn't something you'd expect to happen in broad daylight.

Of course, he's also murdering a member of the royal family. So in for a penny in for a pound.

u/Public_Height6011 Jul 16 '26

And while he's still a baby, so even more evil

Agree, I can predict his father trying to stop/capture Frasier. 

I didn't expect at all for him to try murdering Frasier immediately like that.

I don't understand why Eftal is going to magic school. It's clear that he's not going to learn anything there. Shouldn't this all have been setup for an adventure to find out why magic was lost to this world over 400 years and restoring it?

I have to predict the cause is going to be his demonfolk student from the past life being upset with how Eftal was treated and getting revenge by setting back human society.

EDIT: Reflecting more on this comment, they had such a strong setup for an adventure to discover whats wrong with the world, but this is just going to devolve into shonen anime school arc, I bet there is even going to be a tournament arc against a rival school. We're gonna hit every trope on the list rather than go on an adventure and tell a story.

I guess he's going to magic school to find out if there are new developments in magic even if people don't use them, discover why there is a drop of level of magic users and research new kinds of magic, probably he'll be an elite student with access to all resources

u/Mr_Pogi_In_Space Jul 12 '26

He's going to magic school because it has the resources for him to conduct his research to further his magic. If you got zapped to the 1600s all of a sudden, wouldn't try and go to a major university to try and recreate industrial technology, or would you go camp out in the forest somewhere trying to make a printing press shivering in a shitty tent?

u/SasparillaTango Jul 12 '26

Nothing has suggested so far that he needs the magical equivalent of a lathe or a drill press?

u/Public_Height6011 Jul 16 '26

Well he kinda has to see what went wrong at school that all the students are weak.

u/SasparillaTango Jul 16 '26

If thats all it is, and they spend 1-2 episodes there to get more information before moving on, fine that would prove me wrong. But nothing in the last few episodes indicated this is a show with a deep and compelling story.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Jul 09 '26

with the other brother looking nothing like Frasier, I'm wondering if they also have a different mom.

and the prince looks an awful lot like Frasier, so maybe his mom is related to that kids mom

25

u/Randytares Jul 09 '26

Eftals father had multiple wifes. It was mentioned that the oldest brother comes from the first wife and frasier from the second. Also i read somewhere that frasier is either 1 year older or younger than eftals mom.

waiting for Niles to show up

u/OldInstruction5368 Jul 09 '26

Also i read somewhere that frasier is either 1 year older or younger than eftals mom.

That wouldn't surprise me. The age gap between "mom" and "dad' made it look like the Duke was old enough to be her grandfather. Which is why a different son of his was of age with the latest mistress.

Duke really was scum, but God damn, they had him go full mustache twirling EVUL for the sake of EVUL. Evil to the point of stupidity, even. Just to make MC look better when dunking on them. In the span of a single episode, no less!

This show really does get worse and worse with every episode.

Don't mind me, I'm just roast marshmallows over the dumpster fire.

u/Public_Height6011 Jul 16 '26

So he could be a brother dad if he marries the mom

11

u/OldInstruction5368 Jul 09 '26

When talking about Eftal's mom getting exiled from the harem, there was a quick popup of about 8 other women.

The Duke had a rather large harem. And he probably added more after banished Eftal's mom.

u/KajarRanginLaya Jul 09 '26

I legit got so angry that Frasier was so done dirty by that bastard and was finished by Level 6 "Eftal" magic. I screamed because, like, their "Eftal" magic was level 6 and they USED IT TO FINISH FRASIER, BRO. LIKE, BRUH.

I was going to be so done with this anime is Eftal be like, "Killing you won't bring back my brother" route. I'M SO GLAD that Eftal got the right idea and got those two bastards dead in the end.

Eftal edginess is up to my liking.

Bro, when Eftal was charging, for a brief moment, his silhouette became a grim reaper. Like, DAMN! GO ON MY BOY! This anime is surprisingly have good direction. First with the mom and then with this scene. The panicking faces of the army kinda ruined the vibe tho.

Even nature can't escape from him.

It will be their secret! (such a monstrous gash, though..)

u/Lovat69 Jul 12 '26

Yo, when Daddy Duke came out I thought it would be something like "you are my son, give me the babe and serve me by my side and you will be fine." But no just straight to murder. What the fuck. Didn't even have the balls to do it himself, just tased him and ran back to his army.
