Okay so I tried to look what the name Alfarīd meant but all I could find was it apparently being a boy's name meaning “alone, loneliness” and I was like, huh? That... doesn't sound like a good name to have— Tanaka has a tendency to use names for the opposite gender so I'm not surprised about that but the meaning gives me pause. Maybe it means “alone” as in similarly to “in the heavens two suns cannot shine” type deal? Hmmmm.

Cool panel. Nothing much to add except that Alfarīd is brave. And this can't be her first rodeo— she's gotta have some experience right? Maybe her first was when she came of age (15). Or even before. Haltash doesn't strike me as someone who'd try to shelter his children...

Also, caught the bit where Hilmes called her slippery— I forget whether Narsus was directly called slippery to his face but Hilmes did say he was slippery to Gieve who is also slippery.

Welcome to the slippery slithery club, babygirl.

I mean, Hilmes, combat goes both ways, alright? This is giving me deja vu to when he provoked Daryun and then got mad Daryun's emotional charge made him lose his mask like m'boy what were you fucking expecting.

I will never not find this hilarious (esp considering Alfarīd's later crush on him hhhhh).

If it were Ranna in Narsus' place they'd be like “sure thing honey let's commit murder together :)”

Poor Alfarīd. This must be the worst day of her life— and she's a good kid.

Narsus connecting the dots on the spot!! (Like mentor like student, if I'm being honest, Arslan is a sharp kid) (didn't screencap but Narsus 🤝 Elam in using boulders!!)

Alfarīd makes very good points here and oh my god it's that bad? Not even the free folk have it good, huh... The classism is honestly stunning.

The Zott would understand why the clan doesn't like to go out all that much since they're deathly terrified of being killed or enslaved— (I haven't done the research to see if it's a real thing historically but I've seen a couple stories where bandits kidnap people to sell them into the slave trade, I doubt the Zott do that considering their views though other groups might?)

They're good.

Also, bandits come out in the dark... Ranna and Alfarīd would make a very fine pair indeed.

“There are three conditions to terrify someone: One, the monster can’t speak. Two, the monster has to be unidentifiable. Three, it’s meaningless if the monster can die.” — Aozaki Touko

And Touko was right.

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!
