Made me tear up a bit....though I can't help but worry it's a bit premature, they don't exactly have a military force to secure their territory apart from 1 (admittedly strong) guy, and that group left for the time being but it's not like their attitude changed. Just leaves me wondering if Iruma and co are gonna be back sooner than later
they have direct support of two 13 crows (Mephisto, Amuryllis)
they have somewhat support from Henri
they have indirect support (trough Iruma) from Bachiko and Sullivan
Probably eventually Iruma will get support from at least half of the 13 crows, so yeah, they are somewhat safe.

I know I am going to cry like a lil bitch when Nova and the many ears turn up to Iruma's coronation arc

And then the border patrol came back and killed them all because Iruma wasn't there to protect them anymore.

It's frustrating that not all that much was given to the many ears as a result of all this, specially since they seem hyperfocused now on farming instead of training their hearing.

Which, y'know, it's something, but it still makes them highly dependant on other people. They didn't even establish a proper school that could teach them of other talents they might have, so now they either focus on training their hearing or training their crop growth magic.

Nothing was truly resolved, besides making the kid the new king of the many ears, which is very strange when he doesn't seem too instructed in what might be expected of a leading role. He might have the charisma to lead them, but we weren't assured he has someone who won't just go over him to point the way regardless of his ideas for progress.

My point is, it felt very shallow after having a decent idea halfway through the arc. Yeah it might have felt somewhat boring at the start but for me it was interesting to actually see what such deeply-rooted traditionalism would do to a culture, and a good idea on what can be done to break through those issues...then it went about it in the most half-baked way possible, then acted as if everything was fine now. It's frustrating.

but not too soon okay because this arc just finished and it would be real annoying to have a second arc focused on them or involving them so soon after leaving.

Can't say that I liked this arc. Mephisto and Iruma had some nice moments when the border patrol tried to stir shit up, but besides that it seemed bland and naive.

Yeah, adding farming to diversify their skillset is good, but it just feels like they're all in on being farmers now? We don't even have a group of them who are still actively being appraisal experts or whatever like they were before
