I am not sure IZ is the true mastermind. Based on the final comments, he may have been manipulated by someone else. His price was the ashes.

2025-09-14 05:20:25 +0000 UTCSOMEHOW ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY OWN COMMENT LMAOOOO That Mortal Kombat line was FOUL- how dare you make me laugh when I’m busy crying lol. Stench Zangwill finally makes his grand entrance with his reality-breaking pen. The prologue is over and the story of LotM starts now. I don’t care about what anyone else says, this adaptation is a solid 10/10 for me and absolutely does the novel so much justice and respect. I cried for 15 minutes straight after I first watched this episode- I knew it was all coming but the way the animation team and the director chose to show the end of volume 1 still blew me away and effectively ripped out my heart. Season 2 is going to be insane- I can’t wait for you to meet Sherlock Moriarty and experience his story in Backlund, the capital city of Loen. Here’s some additional facts and tidbits for volume 1: - Ince Zangwill’s entire plan to attain Saint Selena’s ashes did not entirely have to do with Lanevus in terms of overall goals- the Aurora Order’s plan was to let the festering pain and resentment from the lower classes in Tingen support the True Creator’s vessel inside Megose for nine months in order to grow stronger. They couldn’t do that in Backlund as there were more Beyonders and organizations that would directly interfere with the Aurora Order, so they chose Tingen instead as it was more quiet and had a smaller Beyonder population. Ince Zangwill interfered with the Aurora Order’s plan by making Megose visit the Blackthorn Security Company suddenly, where the vessel inside her would be stimulated by the effects of Saint Selena’s ashes, thus forcing the vessel to try to make a full descent in order to protect itself. Ince Zangwill did not care if the descent of the True Creator actually happened, he just wanted the ashes no matter the cost and was willing to do anything necessary to achieve his goal (such as encouraging the descent of an evil god upon a city filled with tens of thousands of innocent people) - Dunn, if not manipulated by 0-08, would have lead Megose while she has still stable down into the Chanis Gate, which would have effectively sealed her and allowed them to contain the True Creator’s vessel. However, Zangwill used 0-08 to interfere with Dunn’s mental state thus causing Dunn to instead take out Saint Selena’s ashes, cementing the True Creator attempting to descend earlier than planned just so Zangwill could use the ashes to swap pathways from the Corpse Collect path to the Sleepless path, something that we were previously told was so risky it had an almost guaranteed effect of making you lose control. This in turn brings up the question as to why didn’t Zangwill lose control? Why did he want to switch paths, and how did he know he would be successful enough to risk it? Is he being supported by an outside force, another secret organization? The mysteries continue - Klein Moretti did die as 0-08 had written, but Zhou Mingrui was never meant to be part of the story. The grey fog is a wild card that Zangwill had no knowledge of despite him controlling the narrative completely. The mysteries of the grey fog and Klein’s transmigration grow more sinister, as the coincidences that lead to him choosing the Seer pathway have nothing to do with Zangwill at all and a more secretive existence most likely is also pulling the strings behind Zhou Mingrui fatefully becoming Klein Moretti. - Klein died in the first episode and yet came back to life because of Zhou Mingrui’s transmigration. It was always hinted that Klein had the ability to resurrect if he were to die. One thing Klein makes note of after he resurrects is that the regeneration was slower than when he first woke up after becoming Klein and his gunshot wound healed almost completely in only a few seconds. He hypothesizes that his resurrection was unusual and not a fail safe plan to always rely on, as his resurrections were most likely limited, with Klein feeling like he only has two more chances at most. - the Moretti siblings have lost not only their father and mother, but their brother Klein. The tragedy that this poor family has had to go through is absolutely unimaginable, and Klein is incredibly aware of that. Even though he is not really Klein, he still loved Melissa and Benson as if they were his own family, so him choosing to leave behind literally everything in order to protect them is absolutely gut wrenching. It’s also so incredibly brave and amazing of him to have the mental fortitude and strength to carry through with not cracking after essentially saying farewell to HIS family and his friends at the Nighthawks, the only comfort he had to combat the loneliness he felt from missing his real home. - you are going to get so many people quoting the last few paragraphs of volume 1 in your comments so be ready lol - the ending song played this episode is actually sung by Klein’s VA. There is a lyric video up on YouTube that translates the entire song and the lyrics are absolutely heart wrenching as they not only encompass his journey in volume 1 but also his character and story as a whole- please check it out even on your own time because it’s so, so good. The song is called ‘Erased’ (in Mandarin it’s ‘Don’t Forget Me’ or ‘Forget-Me-Not’) - if you listen to the main ending song again, ‘Dark Dream’, the lyrics make even more sense and are, once again, more heart breaking with added context - Cuttlefish, the author of LotM, is the one voicing 0-08. That’s some next level trolling on his part as he’s the one who wrote the story, so he absolutely suits 0-08 lmao - the fact that they cooked so hard with Zangwill’s theme alone means that the themes of future villains who are far more terrifying than Zangwill will be godly. I’m terrified and excited Klein Moretti/Zhou Mingrui is one of the best written characters I have seen in fiction in a very, very long time. He is so doomed by the narrative it’s not even funny. This world is so terrifying and so dangerous that not even the MC is safe, and everyone is a walking death flag. Volume 1 really is only the beginning and serves to set up what we can expect from this world; no one is safe, Klein must become stronger but is absolutely alone now, Tingen was only a small city in comparison to Backlund which is the capital of Loen (which in of itself is only a small part of his entire world, meaning the scale is going to keep increasing), shit is about to get wild as the stakes are also going to rise because stopping the actual DESCENT of an evil god that will effectively destroy an entire city is only the prologue and there’s still volumes 2-8 to get through, and we’re going to have plot points and holes revisited in later seasons (which means that we won’t know the full story of LotM until the end). Fantastic reaction as always! The fact that you guessed the plot twist shows how enthralled you are by the world and how you obviously deeply appreciate the story of LotM. The peak has only just started, it gets better from here on out. To quote volume 1 now once again,with even more meaning and heartbreak added to it, “We are guardians, but also a bunch of miserable wretches constantly fighting battles and madness.” P.S. can’t wait to see you next year for the special episode! It’s rumoured to be over an hour long, so basically a movie lol. It’s a side story that was left out of season 1 so the adaptation could focus more on the main story. Azik will also be in it, so that’s a bonus because he is the GOAT (also you will most likely learn more about the Sun and his story, which is one of the best parts of LotM imo). The trailer for the episode is out if you wanted to check it out- the animation is just as fire and it looks incredible already
