On an interesting side note, I managed to find a list of the 8 sacred treasures and their usage requirements and functions in the first part of the 4th light novel.
Anything in () is my opinion and is not from the book.

The Ultimate Legendary Sword, Eckesachs:
-Can only be used by those "seeking strength"
-capable of boosting all forms of magic
(Why the f*** does a legendary sword boost magical capabilities instead of melee abilities???? The name "Eckesachs" means "Sharp sword"! )

The Demon Blade of Vengeance, Dainsleif
-Can only be used by those seeking vengeance (obviously)
-drains the living blood of its targets
(-can apparently track people of blood relations?)

The Mirror of Consumption's Truth, Ungaikyo
- Can only be used by those who have no compunction about using a tool until it breaks
- creates countless copies of objects
-can appraise things brought to its surface
(Remember how the new emperor of Domino threatened to kill his subordinates ?)

The Divine Spear of Rebellion, Vajra
-can only be wielded by those fighting against powerful authorities
- freely controls the weather
-can also forecast the weather
(The current wielder IS a powerful authority now, soo...?)

The Sacred Chalice of Will, Elixir
-can only be used by those with a strong desire to live
-sustains survival indefinitely
-can fix things
(A reference to the Holy Grail, maybe?)

The Bountiful Silo of Compassion, Danua
-only usable by those with an endless spirit of charity
-infinite food
(Apparently, kindness has the power to break all laws of physics and spawn food out of reality's rectum or something. )

The Ark of Survival, Noah
-can be used by ANYONE who wants to avoid death
- capable of "incredible defense" (most likely due to the fact that it's FLYING IN THE SKY)
(An obvious reference to Noah's Ark, it's usage restrictions allow for multiple users presumably so that people can evacuate onto it during disasters)

The Armor of Entropy and Disaster, Pandora
-can ironically only be worn by people with a genuine deathwish
-"a far too macabre power"
-Apparently, very few people have a perfect match with it, and those who do can't die or something?
(The description of its usage is WAY too vague, but the name Pandora implies bad things. The usage requirement seems super backward though. An armor that makes you unable to die only if you WANT to die??)

Code:

This arc is centred around Saiga but you get to see a different side of Sansui
Sansui tells Ran she can be stronger if she learnt patience. Since Ran is full of confidence and arrogance, Sansui basically beats her to an inch of her life left. When asked by the others on what they should do about Ran, he simply said it'll be easier if he kills her now. Sansui later reflects on it as still being immature himself.

@gsiv pretty much, as a immortal. i imagine that its hard to value life when your own life has no value(not as no purpose, but unable to trade or bet with it.)

Sansui is using his lady as a moral compass, letting her judge when ever to kill or to spare. so saying to kill this kind of person for him is logical.
in numbers. letting this 1 live means lives more than 1 could die because of her.

because he knows what her powers are
she is naturally aggressive. as she is a berserker. the panther lady`s royal family task themselfs to fight them. meaning they can counter that berserk.
the reason they put them down is because they cant turn it off. supposedly her hair is not normally bright. because of the berserk state its always bright. being knock out also doenst stop it.

yeah this is Saiga centred arc

the thing about Sansui reflecting in this arc is that it's not about him reflecting on whether he should've killed Ran or not, but it's more of I should've dealt with this "problem" sooner than procrastinating about it.

Also, can't wait for the Sopeid Family's Kiritsugu moments... xD

also
Pandora's current user is a HUGE sober. He has so much inferiority complex towards other Aces that his mutterings reach comedic highlights. Doesn't take away his 100% compatibility with Pandora and how House Disedea "uses" him. It's really surprisingly attention catching tbh.

also remember that Domino Empire has 5 Sacred Treasures now in disposal.

@LimeJuices oh she will learn


She'll learn it the hard way where Sansui is pretty much eyeing her as a disposable waste.

She's basically a shounen protagonist style of character... and remembering what's gonna happen after this chapter is just giving me depression and sympathy towards her...

'cause House Sopeid and Sansui aren't messing this time. No nonsense bulls***, no haughty attitudes. It's Kiritsugu mode baby... xD

Elixir is definitely based off the Elixir of Life (eternal life, restoration, curing all diseases etc.), not the Holy Grail (in the original Arthurian legends, all it really did was bring eternal happiness and sustenance).

Selfish people who believe they're better than everyone else need to be taken down a peg or two.
Sansui should have cut off some of their limbs :/

Seems like she needs to learn that there are always bigger fish in the sea, or some similar cleaver philosophical shit like that. Get bent bitch.
