English Dub Review: Sugar Apple Fairy Tale “The One to Become the Fairy King”

Overview

Anne is angered and saddened by the fairies’ reaction to Lafalle’s control over them. Lafalle forces Challe to help steal silver sugar and demands that Anne make sugar confections for him. Because of him, things between Anne and Challe become strained…


Our Take

While pretending to help Lafalle steal silver sugar, Challe secretly punctures a hole in one of the barrels to leave a trail of silver sugar to the fortress. Back at the fortress, Lafalle is displeased with the confections Anne is making for him. Anne makes her usual confections for Lusul and the other fairies who serve Lafalle, Anne tells the fairies the concept of freedom. Meanwhile, Keith asks Jonas about his plans after the festival as he plans to return to his uncle’s workshop, while Hugh picks up on the silver sugar trail Challe made. As Lafalle plans his first invasion for his revenge conquest, Challe questions his motives, pointing out that the reason he did not do anything until the present time is because he was captured and enslaved by humans, and not only hating humans but also hate and distrusts fairies because he was betrayed by them.

Challe points out revenge and control are not something a fairy king should enjoy. After returning to the fortress, Lafalle sees that Anne made her normal confections for the other fairies causing him to get violent towards Anne. However, Challe arrives and asks the fairies to question of how Lafalle treats them and he is no different from the humans. Challe saves Anne and fight Lafalle. Challe tells Lafalle that he will never become the fairy king, as a king has no need of their freedom. Lafalle hurts Challe’s wing and Challe tells Anne to run away.

Overall, this was quite an intense episode. Whether he knows it or not, Lafalle is just like every other tyrant, doomed to fail because rule sustained by fear won’t last. Nobody wants to follow someone doesn’t even care about their own people, and his recent actions with Anne have indirectly turned 3 fairies against him. Anne didn’t even particularly do anything other than be her usual kind self which got them attached. Trying to hurt her like Lafalle is doing is naturally going to create pushback. But of course they ratted him out to Challe. Good job creating your own downfall Jackass! With one more episode left, I can’t wait to see shit to get super real between the two!
