Rokka Braves of the Six Flowers Title

Hans and Adlet will need to defeat Chamo if they have any chance of talking things through with her, especially as Adlet has a new theory about the barrier. Now, he just needs to talk to Fremy, but will that help him?

What happened?

The Fiends from Chamo’s stomach have Adlet and Hans surrounded. No matter how many they cut down, they just keep getting back up. Adlet needs Hans to give him some time to think. If they want to stop them, they need to take down Chamo. After coming up with a plan, Adlet tells Hans to charge at Chamo and not to stop, no matter what. A Fiend gets in the way, knocking Hans back, but Adlet is there to kick Hans on and destroy the Fiend. Amazingly, he manages to capture Chamo. They tie her up and are able to ask her if she knew about the barrier before getting there. She didn’t. So, what if the barrier is part of the setup? Only Mora knew of it beforehand and then the others learned from the outpost on the way there.

Adlet contacts Fremy and explains his thoughts on the situation. His newest idea is that the barrier wasn’t activated when he opened the door, but the fog was created to make them think it had been activated. Then, as they tried to deactivate it, one of them could have actually activated it. Of course, it’s also possible that the devices in the temple are also fake and that the barrier is activated in some other way. Fremy thinks that Adlet’s idea is good, but it’s impossible for someone to have created the fog instantly. The fog attached to the barrier had been built up for years before being sealed away ready for the time it was activated. Despite this setback, Adlet refuses to give up.

Adlet is getting close. Of course, the idea that the barrier wasn’t up and just looked like it was opens up all sorts of possibilities. If the temple is real and the barrier is activated by the sword and tablet, then any of the three who tried to deactivate it could have actually activated it. And, with the idea that the guy who showed them how to do it might be working for the Demon God means that whoever did it could have done it by accident. That’s just insane levels of planning as the Braves will end up fighting among themselves and will not be able to attack the Demon God since they can’t get out of the Barrier. Surely, the objective of the Seventh Brave is to have them fight against each other until they have no hope of defeating the Demon God.

And then, we have Mora who seems so completely determined to lay the blame on Adlet that it makes her look like she could be the fake. How can she be so certain that it’s Adlet and not anyone else? She thought it was Fremy for a while, but now she trusts her implicitly! Or is that just to get Fremy to do the dirty work of killing a real Brave? I love how this series has introduced this mystery element to the story, making it far more entertaining than them simply going to fight the Demon God. Of course, there’s also Nashentania and Goldov wandering around. I still like Adlet’s idea from earlier that there is yet another person working with the Demon God – an Eighth Brave! If the barrier did go up when Adlet opened the door, the Fiend that was disguised as a woman must still be somewhere inside the barrier.
