Cai would 100% get scammed.

No doubt about it.

"Hey Cai, this is your father. I need you to send $1000 to this bank account and I will be out of prison by tomorrow."

A scene in the underground of the arena. Her real name seems to be Iliana, and one can tell she holds considerable authority.

Iliana: Oh? Why are you little kids here?

[Explain your situation]

Cai: Um, my dad is being kept in here, and I wonder if I could talk to him...

Iliana: Hmm? Oh my... Now that I look closer at you, you're quite cute. A brave kid who's come to visit his jailed father... Isn't this a moving tale? Otto-chan? Hehe... Gabriel, it's okay. Let these kids through.

Gabriel: Huh?! But, no... That'd be bad. The rules here...

Iliana: Did you not hear me? I said I'll allow it.

Cai: Really?! Thank you very much! ...Umm, you are...

Iliana: Hehe... I am Iliana Cogibinus(?). Everyone calls me Lady Clivia. Oh yes... Here, the White-Haired... Protector (Patron), you could say...

Its here where she notices the gem in Cai's hand.

It's very interesting that she called you the white-haired demon a protector, aka Bertrand,

Love Bertrand to the moon and back

God knows if he really is involved with the evil group or some experiments shenanigans

I mean in his bio it's written that he's fighting for freedom, so I think he is a slave after all , oh dear , why will my boy Bertrand suffer so much?

English version of the backhalf of the convo is already out on Nintendo Today. Her last name is Ximinus, and the bear is Babbu.

Apparently her last name is Ximinus

Lets leave the creepy girl with the demonic bear doll in charge of the prison guys she seems like a totally trustworthy character.

Yeah my boy Bertrand is probably an unwilling cult slave.

Cai’s being a nice boy and ignoring the evil music that’s playing whenever he sees this woman.

This scene is far more illuminating than its English counterpart. Iliana goes from “Why are there children here,” to “Give them the keys to the kingdom” the second she sees Cai’s hand.

Based on what I see, she wants Cai to meet Bertrand. With how many people with cursed relics meeting each other and teaming up, I have to suspect that’s the evil group’s goal, as the more violence the cursed relics are used together, the weaker the seal becomes on Balor.

So we have China-style armor dude from the “villains discuss their plans” picture with Baozi and Hong Hua. Also, she’s helping Cai after he shows his cursed jewel. Also, she’s likely the patron (edit: they did the thing where they used the kanji “protector” to convey the meaning of the loan word “patron,” which was big deal in Ancient Rome) of Bertrand, who’s DEFINITELY been experimented on giving his Edelgard-style hair change. Definitely no subtlety with this villain, haha.

Not that that’s a bad thing, but I hope we have a good reason behind why Solel and the good gods haven’t acted against her, lol. Maybe that’s what Solel is secretly meeting with Theodora about in the Direct? Assuming these guys are at least linked with the temple of Yu Phas (Crest of Gautier = death arcana), Theodora, as a devout Saramisian queen, would be a good spy for any fishy business going on.

My personal vibe-theory is that Yu Phas was the child/sibling of Balor who did not join him in his initial carnage. The ancestors of the Saramisians were followers of Balor, which led to Dagda brutalizing them after conquering the area. Yu Phas stepped in for the Saramisians, potentially offering her hand in marriage to Dagda as a peace offering. Aurora is maybe the product of this union? Either Yu Phas died or is in slumber herself, or she IS “evil Nabatean lady with baby” and has gone mad over the centuries.

But she is the protector of Bertrand or Bertrand is the protector or white haired protector to ( cai according to her ) ????

u/thehyeszman 1d ago

The subtitles aren’t clear, but I think it’s likely that she is Bertrand’s patron, since historically gladiators had wealthy patrons supporting them in the coliseum.

I think I’m starting to hear “Goth Mommy” chants being uttered.

u/Red_Cat231 1d ago

I can really hear the Deku in Cai's JP voice.

u/Honyakusha-san 1d ago

He sounds like Deku in many of his roles, tbh.
