In this preview screenshot, we see Theodora mention something called the “Monarch’s Axe” that seems to have some kind of historical connection to Saraminian royalty. My theory is that what if the “Monarch’s Axe” is actually Sothis’ axe, and by extension the same axe that Bertrand is wielding (btw I will not be accepting doubters, this is not a generic axe because it has the Crest of Flames engraved on it, it’s upside down though: https://imgur.com/a/201ODEE).

This begs a couple questions though, like:

1. What connection does Sothis’ axe have to the Kingdom of Saramis specifically?
2. If such a connection exists, why does Bertrand have it? He seems to be Aragonian as far as we are aware.

Did Sothis give it him herself?
3. Does his hair being white mean anything? Is it possibly related to the red markings/body paint he has in some scenes?
4. Does Bertrand have a connection to Eshmel, I wonder?

Bertrand seems to have two designs (three if you count Leda’s flashback). In the flashback, he is wearing a cape with the Arago flag on it, and he has black hair instead of white (also note the axe he uses to kill Leda’s dad is not the same as Sothis’). Then at the beginning of the Heroic Games, he has white hair and a gladiator outfit, but WITHOUT the red body paint. He also still doesn’t have Sothis’ axe, which is maybe why he loses to Cruaidín in the opening fight. Finally, in this fight against Leda (which is these screenshots from the recent Direct) he has the red body paint, and is wielding Sothis’ axe. Maybe he used it to get more power or something, and the body paint is like magic or a ritual of some kind.

They also posted a clip of her having a conversation with Cai and his group.

Timeskip designs!!!! Fabio looks like the only one that stayed the same, I wonder why

Update: Nintendo JP officially uploaded the trailers. One is 2:43 and the other is 34 seconds (which is the one with the timeskip designs)

Literal quote “Fabio’s secret crush on Dietrich is also hilarious to watch unfold, as he struggles to keep his sexual thoughts to himself.”

Go to timestamp 2:50 when he talks about Fabio

Obviously, this is part of the cutscene where Cai falls into the middle of the street, blocking the Saramis army.

This is just a picture from the direct during the “Temple Row” section where they were showing some of the gods.

Subtitles per @SatsumaFS

A scene just before a match in the Heroic Games. Standing before the Dual Walls of Arago, Dietrich excitement grows.

Velaphi: In the east, playing the role of the Dagza Imperial Army led by General Gaius, the Dual Walls of Arago, whose bravery are known far and wide! In the west, playing the role of the barbarians of the Damascar Kingdom are brave heroes who have gathered from all across Dagza.
Now, everyone, prepare yourselves. For the thrilling battle about to be held!

Dietrich: I can smell it on you people too. The fragrance of the strong. Perhaps I might be satiated this time. ...Entertain me as much as you can.

Kirik: As expected of people who've made it this far. Seems there's some eccentric ones among them.

Nathan: Keep your guard up, Kirik. Defeat is not an option for us. Losing in a place like this would damage the Arago Kingdom's authority.

Like am I going insane? There’s like several characters in this show who get 1 line of dialogue, or the camera will linger on them for a couple seconds, and that’s all we get for a character introduction. And then they return in later scenes with the camera framing them as someone we’re supposed to know/care about, without us ever even being told their NAMES!?!?

Seriously, am I asking for too much? Show-only watchers don’t even know the name of the guy who’s supposed to be leading the Greybeards. I bet they think he’s a member of House Stark lmao. All he does is come on screen once ever two episodes and screams one line about wanting to die at war. We haven’t even seen Team Blacks main army in a SINGLE fight this whole season. It’s just cutaways or aftermath scenes.

The prostitutes in AKOTSK have more character than these people.

It seems Criston Cole’s death is being changed some.

Personally I’m hoping for the second girl, I love her design. Although almost every sign is pointing towards Sirocco, he’s been the “most” advertised of her crew I feel like.
