So I'm an anime only who doesn't care about spoilers and I've heard of noelles Saint stage which apparently

Purifies malice and can destroy devils. To those who have read the manga does Saint stage act as like holy water or smth that is naturally harmful to devils or allows the user to legitimately harm or kill the devil. And how does it interact with devils inside a host. Like if an attack hit asta would liebe straight up die cause he is a low ranking devil(im assuming he isn't made up of anti magic).

Before volume 10 comes out who would you think would win the war.
Personally I’d say it’ll end without a winner like in the (might be wrong here) fourth holy grail war but less destructive. But that aside I’m confused what kischurs words in the beginning of the anime(idk if it’s in the novel) mean. He looked at Ayaka and said something like she’ll be the protagonist or something. Now like how most protagonists don’t die maybe she wins or maybe not. But what I think is gonna happen is:

Flat and jack die with a smile on his face. He never struck me as the type to win and he just wanted to make friends.
Jack finds his true identity without wishing for it.

Given gils loosing streak I’m gonna have low expectations for good luck

Enkidu prolly dies protecting the dog which survives

Sigma could win or survive. Giving me vibes

And idk the rest

If it seems like a low effort post it is.

Now the real treasury of Gilgamesh when he was alive was long plundered and why hero’s attained weapons and items from his treasury. Gil said he ordered the spare key to be made when he was alive and discarded it because he thought no man would dare to steal from his treasury. So the key is physical. And the treasury Gil uses and stores his items as a heroic spirit probably exists in another space as a kind of magical or digital-magical copy or in the throne. So how did she use a physical key to interact with such a treasury. Also a direct sentence from volume 5 of fate strange fake chapter 15, “vault, said by some to still exist somewhere in the world and by others to exist in other space entirely” Also why would Gil not be able to open the gate with his mind if it’s just a physical method of closing or opening the gate or the same thing. “The gate refused to open”- chapter 15 volume 5

Apparently he had an antidote for hydra venom in his GoB but he didn’t use it. I didn’t read the novels but for those who did could Gilgamesh actually have opened the vault or was it closed for good. Also where is the key now still with Ishtar?

People seem or seemed to give jb hate and used to say he us racist because of racist jokes he made as a teenager which he probably heard somewhere and repeated them. The triple k was pretty bad but not enough to call an adult racist for something years ago. But somehow they seem to forget about Mark Wahlberg s violent racist past.

Eleven seems to get stronger mostly through emotional states, training, and reconnecting with her memories/past trauma rather than directly increasing her power through killing. Like, her biggest boosts have come after recovery, focus, or emotional breakthroughs (like when she taps deeper into her memories or regains control after losing it). It doesn’t really look like she gains permanent power increases from defeating enemies.

Vecna has stated that he gets stronger as he kills, is elevens fundamentally different.

New this is often overlooked when deciding the superpowers of essos. Though they are not big in terms of land area, they are pretty powerful. They are the successors of the old ghiscari empire which had the lockstep legions I think and were famous on the battlefield. New ghis has its own iron legions which are trained in the same manner as the unsullied except that they are free men that serve 3 year terms. So they at least better than average soldiers in the free cities. They have armies divided in legions that are reportedly 6k strong each. They sent 6 legions against dany so they sent around 36k soldiers. So the real total number may be even bigger. They may have like 10 legions and 60k soldiers.

One thing into consideration is that their soldiers are most probably like levy but unlike other kingdoms, they spend gruesome(same manner as the unsullied) 3 years training.
Given all this, they could probably beat some of the free cities.

Or this might be bullshit cause I don’t know how dany beats them unless her dragons get super growth serum.

We know that spells are woven in both the wall and the walls of storms end to protect against magic which brings up the question, can wards be tattooed on skin or painted to provide protection against magic and curses. Steel skin was a warrior who tattooed Valyrian symbols on his skin and believed it turns his skin as hard as steel, even if that’s only what he believes, it leads me to think people did use symbols or spells on skin to have a magical effect. In the hbo show, when Jorah approaches quithe, she is seen painting a symbol on a man’s body and says something about needing protection when going to ashhai.

How did the Valyrians regulate dragon keeping. Did only dragon lord families have and could tame dragons or could any Valyrian tame dragons. I find it hard to believe they genetically or magically engineered the entire Valyrian ethnic race. In HOTD all dragon seeds except nettles were some targarean bastards or had Targaryen blood.
I don’t think nettles and the cannibal is enough proof that you don’t need to be Valyrian to tame dragons as sheepstealer and the cannibal we’re just some rare exceptions and we know that magic is unreliable.

How many dragon lord families are left, excluding the Targaryens in the world.

We’ve seen humans/ followers of Rhllor being resurrected and we know that many necromancer exist east of essos, asshai, nghai and beyond. I don’t mean wights like viscerion in the series but rather a resurrected dragon either through blood magic(many sacrifices) or standard necromancy. I doubt the kiss of life can resurrected dragons unless it’s true that dragons as living fire have a connection to Rhllor like some people theorise. What are your thoughts.

How strong is yitish military. The king lo bu or lu bo once gathered 300k men just to exterminate the jojos nhai. But they got decimated back by the jojos nhai who re probably lower in numbers. They are possible the strongest and oldest great empire that currently stands in planetos. And why did Valyria never try to invade yiti. The same kingdom that has more than 1000 dragons and is able to send like 300 dragons to battle the rhoynar. While danaerys was able to shake the westerosi with merely three dragons.

Could danaerys with her Dothraki and unsullied army and three dragons(show size) conquer yiti.

She might become the queen in the north or warden or just stay the lady of winterfell like in the books. Some people think she will become the queen of the seven kingdoms. Or she may marry Jon and become queen alongside him but I don’t like that ending. I think Sansa might become the lady or queen of the vale given robin or little finger dies by the end. What do you think.

I think the starks are going to be independent by the end of the books and not bend the knee to danaerys like Jon’s dummahh in the show. The reason for this is that it would seem pretty lame to give up the northern independence that catelyn and Robb and thousands of northern men died for just for something like love or recognition of someone as the rightful ruler. The books are more politics heavy so I think the ending will probably be differe or at least I hope will be different from that shitshow of a season 8 we had.

There is no way to tell and grrm has explicitly said to keep it that way however, what are all the evidence for and against gods existing in the world of ice and fire.

I think they are not real. It’s very inconsistent, the drowned god is all about looting and rape to justify war crimes, the seven gods are just symbolic and have never showed any miracles but the only promising one seems to be rhllor but their religion seems shady, they have temple prostitutes(correct me if I am wrong, I haven’t read the books that far and got THIS information from the fandom wiki of asoiaf) and they would burn men alive just to serve their “good” God. Melisandre is a shadow binder and we don’t know whether the deaths of the three kings were caused by the Lord of the light/melisandre’ magic or they just died because people die in war.

Blood magic or some other magic have a rule, a price for something in return. Thoros resurrection may work like drogos but instead of a life, it chips their self away as berric said. I think the difference is caused by specialisations. My theory is that everyone can use blood magic as long as they know the rituals and materials necessary however that cannot replicate the performance of people who are gifted specifically for certain types of magic, shadowbinding or resurrecting.

I am not confident in any of these theories btw

George R.R. Martin identifies as an atheist or agnostic. While he does not personally practice a religion, he has stated in interviews that he finds spirituality and the history of religion absolutely fascinating which aligns with the depiction of magic and religion. Authors often input their beliefs in their stories. Tolkien was religious and
Eru illivitar was portrayed as an omnipotent God like The Abrahamic God. The series often brings up arguements against God such as why suffering exists and such. Maybe reflecting GRRM’s personal view in religion.
