yeah that is a plothole but it makes sense that the brother was told beforehand since that is the reason why he offered himself directly
Isnt the demon king just a floating soul? Besides being hard to prove, it doesn't seem anyone could do anything about it since to try and do anything it required the same kind of magic that the demon king and his associate used which for the most part seem to be lost.
Yeah man, I have a mixed feeling like
"He has work hard, he deserve to have a peaceful death."
Vs
"He has work hard, he deserve to live fully."
If I'm Albus I'll probs fall into despair if I'm looping again after what i thought is the final loop.
Iirc in one of Albus flashbacks he was torn about losing both the dog and I think the woman that just showed up, and while he could regress he couldn't regress far enough to do it. So despite being pulled back for another loop I think this was an opportunity he always wishes he had, to save everyone important to him for reals without losing anyone.
Probably the biggest reward possible for managing to save fiona, being able to save the woman that just showed up.
Honestly this turn the last few chapters has been one of the best ive read in manga, the series seemed over with a grand sacrifice and an epilogue chapter but the author went for the full win! I can probably count in one hand the times ive seen this sorta super satisfying turn of events come by surprise.
