This Is A Good Question I Like This One..mmmh Ok Here I Go

This is a good question 👀 I like this one…..mmmh ok here I go

-Kishward vs. Shapur

-Sam vs Shapur

I think both pairs had train a lot together but I don’t know if this is explicitly described. But on the other hand I really would like to see it 😂

Then…….

Kubard vs. Bahadur (man this would be a fight between giants)

Isfan vs. Kubard I think I have seen this in the post from @tired-reader-writer and yes, yes, yes!!!!! We need this one!

Kishward vs. Rajendra

Gieve vs. Kishward

Daryun vs. Isfan and maybe Zaravant together (sorry guys but I think it is clear who will win this)

Zandeh vs. Isfan

Zandeh vs. Jimsa

Narsus vs. Guiscard (Don’t know either if this is non-canon or canon but…..yeah I would line to see it)

Gieve vs. Bodin

Ok I think this is it so far 😂😂😂

As I say: I don’t know if every pair is non-canon so please bear with me for this.

Okay ArSen fans what are the non-canonical duels you'd most like to see? Mine is currently Isfan vs. Zandeh!

I am in love with this!!!! This is so amazing!!!

Tried my hand at designing a collective sigil for the Marda clan as a whole (because individuals don't have crests) thanks to seeing @importantdestinydefendor 's crest design and being inspired by it.

It's a stylized pine tree flanked by mountains, with phases of the moon up above.

I am not satisfied with this, this was just me testing the waters and my god was this thing fucking stressful to draw. I don't ever wanna do it again.

Arslan's crest in this AU would bear similarities to this, albeit with the borders/circle of Shapur and Isfan's crests, a bird replacing the mountains and pine tree (though maintaining the general silhouette and the details on the pine). I'm not gonna draw it anytime soon, it was really stressful T_T

For those who can't access the images on Manga1001, here's an alternative (this one works for me, thank goodness!).

AAAAANNNNDDD

Here is the family crest for Azar's mother!

I'm not entirely sure about the design, but it's not as chaotic anymore!

But something is missing. I can't put my finger on it.

Babies 😭

Arslan's not used to it, huh.

. Me 🤝 Narsus

Having faith in Arslan's abilities

Man, can't imagine being Gieve lugging around gold and treasures right up to a village that got sacked? I'd be squirming in discomfort bc don't look at me don't look at me I have money don't look at me. I'm getting second-hand embarrassment. Come on, Gieve.

Delulu Gieve. If I have to suffer through this then so do you.

Farangis is fucking delightful. And a breath of fresh air after having to deal with Gieve for a while though I do feel sorry for her for having to, y'know, interact with Gieve. I thought I'd gotten used to his nonsense bc I don't react as strongly to him anymore but I guess this means he was way, way worse at the beginning?

Farangis must've felt really lonely at the Temple, though. I guess she had the Head Kahina but... that can't be enough, especially not in a closed community like that?

Kharlan's face is shadowed once again. I sympathize with him and find his character fascinating, but man. The things he did this chapter left a bad taste in my mouth.

A less than stellar moment of Daryun, though I guess this was necessary. I do not believe Daryun a bad person, only that maybe perhaps things like this are... a little more normalized, in this world and era.

Okay so I've actually been keeping a close eye on Kharlan's sword this entire time and ha, it paid off! There's a goat design on the scabbard! It's not on the sword itself unlike Zandeh's here:

But both of them feature a goat design which also features on their crests:

So, yeah! Arakawa strikes yet again! With incredible attention to detail!
