Sorey had to give Alisha a name in the ancient language and went with Melphis Amekia which means ‘Smiling Alisha.’ How sweet. The second scene finds Alisha making a squire’s pact with Sorey. The scene shifts and we see Alisha alive, looking straight into Sorey’s eyes. As the voice of Alisha continues to tell their story, we suddenly see Sorey’s eyes shine. He is sitting there, under the night sky as Alisha recounts their moments together in the voice of the narrator. In the first scene, Sorey is brought to her side as Alisha is dying from her wounds. Sorey and Alisha: Both scenes featuring our lovely couple were quite emotional. The backgrounds are beautiful, memorable, and there is an admirable attention to details. Wallpaper Moments: There were so many of them for yet another episode. We have the Seraph of Wind joining the gang.
Rose sticks with the group of a little while longer. She made a pact with Sorey in one of the most beautiful scenes of the series. On other news: Alisha didn’t die of her wounds. A good reminder, but in an unnecessary scene. There was a really good flow up until that moment (a trademark of the series) that was interrupted for a reminder that Sorey has matured as the Shepherd and he is no longer slave of his negative emotions. The second bit of battle we get, is right before the final scenes of the episode, where Landon has turned into a hellion.
Sorey, always in perfect ouch with his ideals, works together with the Seraphs to purify the battlefield from malevolence. You purify for the sake of humans, but this Malevolence was born out of man At some point, Sorey even saw Lord’s true human form, but I don’t know if his face was someone we already know or just a confirmation that he is human. We all know that this is not the way it usually goes, but don’t tell the bad guys.
The only reason the Lord of Calamity spares Sorey is that he can become the hope of humanity so that the evil hellion can crush Sorey and bring even more despair to the world. His last words reminded me a little of Junko Enoshima and her take on the struggle between hope and despair. He arrived along with his Dark Goth Lolita servant, Synomme, and he toys a little with Sorey and the Seraphs before leaving the battlefield. Sorey confronts the Lord of Calamity, a powerful human hellion that feeds on the malevolence created by the pain and suffering of war. I don’t think it was in their plans when they started the series, but it definitely became a possibility after the warm fan reception. Ufotable can be proud of Tales of Zestiria the X, and we are all very excited about the recently announced second season. What started as a promotion anime for a recent video game, managed to become one of the most exciting anime of the season.
