English Dub Review: The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent “Purpose”

Overview

Sei remains wary of the imperial prince, but after learning a bit more about his situation, she grows curious about what he’s doing in the country.


Our Take

This time around, the long-kept secret is finally revealed, with Sei and Hawke employing creative methods to extract information from the Prince. With the truth out, the pressing question arises: What will Sei decide? Will she unveil herself as the Saint, or will she choose to maintain the charade?

In my opinion, this revelation could  be a potential trap orchestrated by the prince to identify someone adept at crafting high-grade potions independently. The underlying motive could involve persuading or even coercing this individual to return to his kingdom, thereby enhancing his standing as a contender for the crown.

Overall, this was another passable episode. Even though certain aspects of the story left me somewhat uneasy. This new story-arc also introduces a perplexing element: if the kingdom aims to keep Sei’s identity under wraps, a formal introduction as the saint contradicts this goal. Allowing a visiting delegation near her feels pretty damn contrived if you ask me. But luckily the Prince seems very smart and doesn’t have any sinister intentions and seems legit in his desire to help, and hopefully, we can find out what he wants with Sei…
