Right? He's literally on death's door. Stands up. "Hey, hold this baby."
Possibly the worst scene in the entire series so far. He could so easily have collapsed and dropped the kid. Have him stay seated with something propping him and put the brat in his lap, fer cryin' out loud. Would have made an equally good scene while being far less obviously stupid.
Right? It's crazy how doing just simple changes make it go from "omg this is so stupid" to "okay, that's perfectly reasonable" while still getting the point across.
Overall a good episode thanks to some nice character development. I mean, the fighting was better from last episode but still pretty silly. Mercenary commander guy just picking people up by their heads and stabbing them and then one-shotting the enemy commander. Rietz's duel was descent, even if the finishing blow was just a slash across the armor that drew no blood.
"Hey, I know you were like, on death's door and everything and it's a miracle you're even alive and you're probably weak from blood loss and DEFINITELY shouldn't be standing up right now but... here's a baby still covered in vernix to hold!"
But the character development was really good. I especially loved how Ars is remembering all the fallen soldiers at the end. He knows all their stories and is genuinely sad about their deaths. They're not just a statistic to him. They're faces and memories.
Done!
