It's not quite black and white though. Deida was convinced/manipulated by the mirror that killing Boji would prevent a civil war in the future because as long as his big brother is alive there will be people that believe he was the true successor. So, there was a "logical" reason to do it, as despicable as it was.

In the scene with Daida and Domas I think its implied Daida gave the order. The scene starts with Daida saying he has thought long and hard on something and must do what is best for the kingdom and in the previous episode the mirror said leaving Bojji alive could lead to civil war. Its up for debate but I think Daida deserves less sympathy than Thomas if he gave the order.

This show is ridiculous. I have never been so bad at predicting what is going to happen in the story. I've enjoyed watching along with the girls so far but this show is whack in a good way.

I mean it hits so good in all the right places for me. If it continues till it ends, I can definitely see it being a top 5-10 fav for me. Maybe higher if it does stay true to how it has been going

No shame. I couldn't wait any longer the other day and devoured the Frieren manga. Simply a great story. I'm curious to see if it will still be ahead of Fullmetal Alchemist at #1 on MAL this summer. When the recency bias has passed, most anime will drop in the ranking.

What connection between characters are you referring to? (maybe use rot13 so we don't spoil others lol)

Man I need to get back to watching this. Had a Frieren binge which took this up but caught up so now can get back to it

Domas really is a character like many others who are incredibly complex. Queen Hilling and King Daida are also very multifaceted. When I first watched Ranking of Kings, I didn't expect Daida to reject the power that the mirror said the potion would give him, because his trainer Bebin taught him that the path is also crucial to maturing and growing in the process.
In my opinion, the author and the anime did everything right with the beginning. And I still hope that they print the faces of characters :D I'm really a bit ashamed that even after my rewatch I couldn't draw the connection between two characters/stories and accidentally read it in the wiki when I wanted to find out where a story took place.

Very interesting that Domas cut off the hand he used to push Bojji with, he's clearly struggling, but he still pushed him so... It's almost impossible to forgive something like that

And the puzzling begins. Have fun, it's going to get even more confusing.
My theory is that Daida manipulated Domas in his confrontation to give the order to kill Bojji. But yes, like many things, it remains in the unknown. And think back to episode 3: What happened when the king died?
