Bingo on the picture! Shirley keeps it with her things (: Great analysis, can't wait for more episodes! (Hopefully I can make more of the premieres, I was there for 11 and that was a lot of fun) Demon Slayer will be a great one, as well, especially for a shounen-type pick.

2025-10-16 04:56:23 +0000 UTCThanks for the good reactions! Im glad to see you’re liking it more than I expected. One thing you might find interesting since you've been trying to piece together history on this. You thought of Trafalgar Square when the teacher is speaking about "Trafalgar". That landmark was made in commemoration for the battle of Trafalgar (1805), which was a seminal event in British history where the Royal Navy defeated the navy of Napoleon, which prevented him from invading the United Kingdom. However, in this class, they say that Brittania was defeated in this battle and the queen was later cornered in Edinburgh by revolutionaries. A recap, but Edinburgh was also mentioned in Ep 3 in an event called the "Humiliation of Edinburgh" alongside "the transfer of the capital" and "the North and South War" as topics in Brittanian history class. Very fun world building trick where the lore is dropped in pieces, in the background and out of order for The following is just my interpretation, so please ignore if you want to try to piece it together yourself --- The "North and South War" is likely a mistranslation of the Japanese word 南北戦争, which is the American Civil War. The implication is that history in this world proceeded mostly the same up until 1805, but Napoleon defeated the British. The queen probably had to flee (London is in the south and very close to France, whereas Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and in the north), but got captured by revolutionaries. After this they had to transfer the capital--and we know that Brittania is in Northern America from the map in ep1--to the American continent, and the royal history somehow merges into American history somehow
