Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Tsurugi wo Mune ni Idaku - Vol. 7 Ch. 39 - The decisive battle comes to an end

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

Probably because those people ready to die as long as Rosenmarie survives? I mean sure Olivia can kills them all but against that kind of people who already know their death is coming and prepared, it will take considerable amount of time to kill them, meanwhile in meantime Rosenmarie will escape

Considering in how bad a state both were I doubt they could and the author just did this to do what everyone else has already said.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[JaxunHero]

That's for another girl who eat shinigami (The girl who ate death god ln), this one is more lighthearted .

Idk feels like we’re in for a gore filled twist later

 

[Nickbot25]

I don't see any reason to keep her alive. What's the author cooking?

her looking into to olivia's "dad"

It may seem like a plot contrivance in the manga, but in LN Olivia tried everything she could to kill Rosenmarie, expending her trump card during the fight. But the enemy soldiers kept throwing themselves at Olivia, slowing her down as she carved them up like tissue paper. At the end of the chapter you can see how depressed she is because

Spoiler: pivotal spoilers!

at the beginning of the fight, Olivia said she would kill Rosenmarie. Since Rosenmarie escaped, that makes Olivia's original statement a lie. She is now a liar, and liars are bad girls. Olivia is now a bad girl.[/Olivialogic]

Is the LN worth it? How far ahead is the english Release? Or is there a fanTL going on?

Yes the Light Novel is worth the reading (especially if you like the manga).

Currently, the Light Novel will release its 5th volume in a few days (the manga is at the end of volume 2).

The thing that I find interesting in this story is that the story focuses on both sides of the war, slightly building up the story toward a fated confrontation.

I fear no man but that thing it scares me

Ah, yes, the Azure Knights, the more elite version of the Crimson Knights. After them we have the Helios Knights he mentioned. But they're still nothing compared to the infamous Purple Knights, the elitest of the elite. And then we have the Plaid Knights. We don't talk about the Plaid Knights.

I can buy Olivia being unable to kill Rosy. She didn't have her sword, was probably tired, and there were enough delaying forces against her. But mostly it was her own mistake for behaving like a B-grade villain who monologues too much and lets the heroes escape.

I don't buy the "you should've died to shield your people" logic. If you die there's nothing you can do. There are many other avenues you should take before it comes to that. Just take a look at what some of the occupied countries in WWII did instead of fighting to the death.

Now, the lord didn't seem to take any of those, and the people were overjoyed to see their own lord executed, so there's little wrong with end result.

And I liked the square-tipped executioner's sword. Even if the length is drawn inconsistently.

True, but it seems like he didn't even try passive resistance against the Empire, slowing logistics and such. Not outright defiance but enough to gum up things.

And he allowed the Empire to harm innocent civilians for petty reasons. So, he moved into full Collaborator.

Oscar Schindler was a Nazi weapon maker but made sure anything his people made was bad material and wouldn't work.

 

[AnotherDuck]

True, but....

That's what I implied. He didn't do anything he should've done, and by what he did he deserved what happened to him. It doesn't matter exactly what it was, but getting rid of him is both a benefit and morally acceptable.

I know it's a bit off tangent of an off tangent, but I like the Swedish translation of the title of the film Schindler's List. It's called "Schindlers List". We don't use apostrophes for possessive, so the first word is exactly the same. The second, however, means guile or cunning in Swedish ("list" would translate to "lista"), so that changes the meaning of the title even if it's spelled the same, while also creating a title that's still very much appropriate for the film. Great film, btw.

My mistake and thanks.

And agreed on that movie. I saw it once and it still resonates with me.

 

[sotokouya]

kinda funny to see the UBW ads

 

[LoliNecromancer]

Really hope this will have some sort of satisfactory ending cause her getting away with human shields is just not believable when she can dispatch elite warriors in seconds and all she has to do is chase a above average elite soldier who is carrying a person. getting distracted is lazy. Maybe if someone she cared about or a valuable soldier in the battle needed assistance.

 

[AcelJean]

If Z isn't the one responsible for this war, Rosenmarie dying would have been a huge waste because Z never would have received her soul. Unless Olivia's sword somehow absorbs it for them...

 

[Mystearical]

Yeah there's no logic here to whatserface getting away. Old guy is literally carrying her away on his back and Olivia can almost teleport she's so fast. She could mop up these nerds (or just bypass them entirely? How are they doing to stop her, she moves faster than Claudia can track sometimes and that girl has magic eyes!) and follow them WAY faster than old guy can escape. Definitely stinks of asspull. You can't just show us our protag can do the things she's done and then go "but she can't do that HERE because I need her not to" that's bullshit.

 

[Seraphus]

Æsop, the Ancient Greek (or possibly Persian) person who is famous for writing "Fables," is quoted as having said:

"For every fine cat, a very fine rat"

Every hero needs a villain; if they kill the villain, they have to find a new one (son of villain!) to fight, or the story is over.

You can't kill off a good villain until you have a proper replacement.

Is it just me, or do none of these maps make any fucking sense at all?!
Every time I see a map, shit has changed; from the position of mountain ranges, to the orientation of North, the maps are almost entirely unintelligible... which is honestly super weird, as most authors (and Japanese society as a whole... well, and me) kinda have a bit of a map fetish; super weird to have such a randomly shitty set of maps.
