@@Rythmguitarable spoiler alert unfortunately his bitch of a mother never drops it. I mean seriously, she completely ignores the fact that he defied a direct order from an arch noble when he was barely a mid rank at best. Myne’s involvement has little to no relevance. Not to mention he is the half brother to the archduke (Sylvester).
Damuel: "A noble who outranks me told me to keep my mouth shut" Ferdinand: "Yes, and a noble who outranks the noble who outranks you told you to tell the truth, I think you can do the math yourself"
This is an excellent example of accountability. Ferdinand not only turned his own justification against him, but he continued to damn his actions to the point where he would be incapable of defending himself in any way.
@@Bundalaba lol as another man it’s not often that we give logical reasons and the “feminists” that do that are perpetuating anti feminist ideas same with people calling racism over problems not involving race there will always be people using causes improperly to further their own agenda and belittling the cause they claim to believe in for the sake of their own convenience
fun fact: the green-haired guy used to be a blue-robe priest, which are basically nobles that have been thrown out of their families for lacking magical power. at this particular point in time they are at the tail end of a major civil war where many nobles were killed and families are so desperate for *any* personnel that the slightly less crappy blue-robed priests got recalled into their families... including the green-haired guy. it is possible that he doesn't even know how to use magic. he and damuel (who is a low-ranking noble due to not having much magical power) were probably chosen to guard myne because the job *should* be so easy that even a completely untrained peasant with no combat experience, training, or equipment should be able to handle it, presuming they aren't so desperately eager to murder peasants that they can't hold themselves back. their opponent is quite literally a tree, and the position they are standing in is beyond the reach of it's branches. which just goes to show how mind-boggling the level of incompetence is that led to myne being injured. she was in a perfectly safe place. all they had to do was not be total complete and utter dumbasses and not try to torture the person they were supposed to be protecting.
he not only ousted his predjudice against lower class citizens by pointing out her merit, he also said that by insulting her, he insulted Ferdinand, who clearly outranked him, and turned his logic of rank based on societal position against him. THEN pointed out that they were given clear orders that they ignored. And even went on to punish both him and the other guard as they were both to be held accountable for failing duty, and to add insult to injury, said their captain would face discipline too for not reigning in his men, basically insulting the man even more by saying he was incompetent and unruly by pointing out his captain's faults in training them. He literally took his pride and tore it to shreds
Technically, Damuel got off with a slap on the wrist compared to Schichikoza, which could be seen as even more of an insult since Damuel was a lower ranked noble and yet suffered a far less severe punishment due to Myne outright requesting that Damuel be shown leniency. SPOILERS: Shichikoza was ultimately executed for his actions (something that pisses off his mother). Damuel on the other hand was merely demoted and then assigned to Myne as her personal knight and retainer (which I would honestly have considered a reward, since Myne outright requested leniency for Damuel as she clearly trusted him). So while Damuel was demoted for his failure to protect Myne from Schichikoza, he was technically then rewarded for at least having tried to stand up for her by being assigned to her as her personal retainer and knight (which could also be seen as him being given a second chance to protect her to make up for his prior failure). Damuel is the kind of man you *want* as a knight, as he's a kind man who doesn't judge Myne for being of "common" birth. He merely needed to be more confident about being able to call out the actions of others regardless of rank when they crossed a line.
@@gamester512 Damuel's punishment was certainly long-term though. By resigning himself from being an independent knight as becoming the Knight Commander of Rozemyne's personal guard, he wasn't able to marry the woman he wishes to marry because his involvement with Rozemyne's rechristening as a noble is too sensitive of an information to leak for someone who is a lowly laynoble like him.
On top of that, she was granted blue robed by religious leaders as well as their king. Dude said, “you have committed both treason and blasphemy. Your ego has doomed your family’s existence. Not as nobles, but as part of the living.”
Plus there is one major thing here. In worlds like this, if you join the military, you no longer just have to follow noble etiquette, but military as well. So if you happen to disobey an order from your higher ups, you can still face punishment (possibly with some leniency), with it being guaranteed if they're of higher noble class. So even if his job was to escort a commoner, he should have darn well listened since this was an order from a higher up on both fields.
Indirectly that’s kind of the point. In older class based military your better‘s had higher ranks. Nobles would be officers, and commoners the enlisted. Ferdinand basically told him I am the highest ranking person here and I gave you a direct order. You disobeyed it, and I really don’t care what your reasons are.
In the story's world class rank overwhelms even military rank but even with that in mind Ferdinand is the brother of the arch Duke and karsted is like one step lower as the head of military and the arch dukes bodyguard
@@zekebanks7876 Karstedt is from the line of the archducal family, I believe. His father Bonifatius was an archduke candidate from the previous generation, so Ferdinand and the current Aub Ehrenfest are his cousins.
Well, techinacly, their job was protect Myne with their lives to make sure that Myne would not even suffer the tinest of scratches and that fool basically tried to kill her and the bigger fool didn't try to stop him by any means neccessary.
@@alexiosblake9804 Which is still actually better than it could have gone for him. In some noble house set ups, a noble baring a name as a knight (or equivalent) is acting as a representative of their house. Meaning that by not only failing to protect, but _actively damaging_ the heraldry of a higher house being worn by that 'rankless plebian' they gave direct insult to that higher house... I should not need to clarify exactly how bad that can go. At least he only paid for his fuck up with _his_ life.
@@MizukiStone44 exactly. If memory serves, his family had to basically disown him, pay a fine and reparations, and lost a bit of standing with the rest of the nobility. Just to avoid having the entire family executed while also having his execution be hushed up.
@@Outlawbyname They also had to sign some kind of binding contract that expressly forbade them (or more specifically Schicicoza's mother) from seeking revenge against Myne or her family Or maybe I'm making this up, I can't remember clearly
And the following episode it is noted that his family is fighting for him. I’m not sure what kind of detail they went into in the novel. Or if Ferdinand actually cared other than making an example out of him.
God what a miserable society to live in. Where guilt is determined by rank, not by deed. Even when someone is trying to do the right thing, they can only do it through exploiting the system. Ferdinand cant just say, "You hurt myne, die." He has to justify it by spelling out how he violated orders from the highest ranking officer there and spat on the wishes of the lord of the territory. Because that was the only real crime here according to this society.
So he is just using the rules that noble praised so much against him. It might be possible they don't have laws against discrimination back then so he can't use that to judge either. So he is just putting that guy in his place using the very rules that guy used against her, pretty satisfying actually.
The equivalent would be a noble ordering his servants to take good care of a new slave but instead they abused the slave cause servant is of higher status. Then the noble punished them for ignoring his order cause the noble is of higher status than a servant. See the funny part?
This is no ordinary girl she is essential to the emperor's plan for the galaxy, and you nearly killed her over a dispute of rank May palpatine have mercy on your soul, because vader surely will not!
Not only does Shikza get executed off screen, without Main’s knowledge (for now), but Damuel would have been executed as well. Except Main vouched for him… Damuel will remember that.
@@macavitymacavity9504 They kinda showed it in the new episode where his mother talking to other people and they said sorry to what happened to her son then show a guillotine
While this show is a bit cheesy at time to me, I still find it so fun to watch, if nothing else then for the amount of realistic events that balance out the show, it actually utilizes the politics and underlying motives of the characters with real substance, with actual consequences. It such a fun and interesting watch
I just watch it to support a fellow bookworm. I do not pay attention to any of the serious plot. Just like Myne, I'm there for the books. Nothing more, nothing less.
You should consider reading the light novel series. It's 1000x better because this series has so much complexity and in depth character development they could only put a small amount in the anime and keep the story very restricted. The LN series is told from Myne's perspective and the world building is several levels better giving vibrant descriptions of the politics, culture, and people over time. The anime basically ends where the real story began. It only covered a small part of the first 2 Parts of the story out of 5 parts. Parts 3-5 are much longer with a lot more books and the story progresses significantly.
I love how Ferdinand handled this all .. knowing the dude basically committed treason he practically tells him to give up the last of his mana to the world "teaching the plebian" how it's done before his own execution 😎 Ferdie got da sauce
When Schicikoza said "She's a plebeian", he didn't say "she" (kanojo), he said "are" which to my knowledge, is best translated as "that". Aka he said "That's a plebeian", referring to Main.
Or more accurately, "It" could be the meaning here. She isnt even a person to him, a low ranking thing. Better he was guarding a box of rations, because at least those have value in his eyes.
@@TheDman131 You have to combine the need to convey the meaning of the words, the desire for accuracy with the constraints of matching lip movements. For what they have to work with, the dub is plenty acceptable.
Still a slap on the wrist maybe be mercy for his life but to his brothers (soldier buddies) would brand him as a traitor socially meaning until the dies he would basically be looked down as a outcast
On a side note in the novel Myne was more careful here, speaking to Kardstet (someone check that spelling) on his request whilst the others were elsewhere. If she had handled it this way in the novel she would have essentially jumped off a cliff on the chance that Ferdinand or Kardstet would catch her.
Its interesting that this show is about how the nobility hierarchy is flawed and even dangerous but also shows why it was such a useful tool. Ferdinand here knew what was best because he was privy to all the information and he knew all the information because of his capability and status. Karsetedt is also told it was his Job to make sure he trained them properly. So the question then becomes what changed to turn these Axioms upside down? The answer is simple and thats the theme of this anime, Books. Once information becomes readily available to everyone then the masses can rule themselves.
Masses can't rule themselfs. Never it was. You need knowledge, intelligence, ambition, status, wisdom, charisma, even luck... People are not born equall. But should be equall before the law. Sadly with enough power and/or gold. Might makes right. It's today same as in history.
@@viperstrike0Theoretically true but we still have a "ruling class" it's just the means by which one enters or leaves has changed (less blood but arguably just as brutal).
This is not theoretical. This is how society was centuries ago. The nobles were the nobles. They were constantly scheming and conniving. And killing a commoner or injuring them, was not a crime for them. Especially in feudal Japan. To have soldiers that directly disobey, an order of a superior does show poor training.
@@aidenfurry471 Personally I’m not a big fan of subtitles. They have their own issues. First focusing on the text means you can’t focus on the action. And second the exact same problem with dubs. Sometimes the Japanese have a single word for something that doesn’t translate to English. Leaving you a little time to read the phrase before it moves to the next scene. No method is going to be perfect. The only way to do it properly would be to learn Japanese.
@@aidenfurry471 I guess it would be easier if I did it more often. I’ve only watched one series that I thought was good enough to be worth the extra effort. And it didn’t have So much action that it was a problem. The devil is a part timer. And fast moving action I’ve noticed often that the Japanese have a single word for something that doesn’t translate as a single word in English. Which means the time to read it is insufficient. That where they have the same problem as dubbing where you change the dialogue to fit. I saw a video on how the dubbing is done and it appears to be a lot of work.
I love the music it makes it feel like the world is about to crush the snobby noblemen under its weight. And as the song gets stronger and more intensity the nobles realization of doom increases until you see the look of fear and terror on his face!
I copied this in wiki and wanted to share to everyone The Japanese version of his name is "Shikikōza", which spelled backwards means "Small-Fry Knight" (雑魚騎士, zako kishi).
Best part? Shikikoza tried to use the same magic Myne would be using and failed, affecting only a small area around him leaving him barely standing. Myne then flexes on him with no issue and could've done more
Eh, that was mostly Ferdinand using him as a way for Myne to demonstrate her value to the rest of the knights, and thus nip the issue in the bud since no one will further doubt her usefulness. Shik got executed for his fuck up, so its not like the little demonstration would have even mattered on that front.
*Schicicoza:* People need to know their place in society. *Ferdinand, with 13 Uno Reverse cards and 44 Draw 4's in his hand:* ... I'm bout to end this man's whole noble family. [Inhales].....
An arrogant soldier puts him and his entire unit and to a certain extent, his commander, at risk of punishment because of his actions also describes what a soldier will face should they step out of line. Pretty good depiction
Damn, He's a Scary Dude when he needs to be. not to mention he was probably saving the guy's Life; I mean if that girl gets mad enough, she could crush his heart just by willing it.
That guy has a heart? Coulda fooled me! I think she might be able to do more now if she put her mind to it. She has seen what magic can do and that it can be controlled. You can bet that even if it's in the back of her mind, she's thinking on how to control her magic and what to use it for. I wonder is Myne in her old life played any DnD? sm
SPOILERS: The opposite, actually. IIRC, Schichikoza is actually judged to have committed such a heinous act and violation of his assigned duties during his trial/hearing that he's completely disowned by his entire family, and then I believe he is actually *EXECUTED* for what he did to Main. The other guy however, as per Main's later request that he be shown lenience (since he actually tried to stand up for and protect her) is shown much more mercy and isn't punished nearly as severely as Schichikoza is.
The series is both a freely available (but untranslated) web novel and a light novel. The web novel is really quite good, even when read through Google Translate.
for anyone wondering why Ferdinand's robes are blue: colored robes were worn by nobles to indicate which duchy they were from and knights who wore these robes more often other nobles wore robes only when inter-duchy events or going to the royal academy. Myne and Ferdinand's residence and setting in the anime is the Ehrenfest duchy. Ehrenfest robes are symbolized by yellow robes like the knights in this scene but only Ferdinand is wearing blue. The blue robes that Ferdinand use he got when he participating in a betting match against a higher duchy that duchy's wore blue on their robes. Ferdinand was able to defeat the knight students from a higher duchy with a cunning scheme and get the cloak from those duchy and until now the person who owns the cloak still considers Ferdinand as a rival and wants to fight again to get the robe. It wasn't just a robe because the robes of the nobles contained magical protection so such robes were very precious to the nobles and the robes is and the robe was actually a betrothed gift from the fiancé of the man Ferdinand defeated
He's not even a acknowledged to be a noble before this since he's a blue priest. He only has noble blood. And since those blue priests in the temple sometimes got the gray robe priestess pregnant, most of those in orphanage also had noble blood. The difference between him and the orphans was that he had family who supports him by paying some considerable sums. Because of the current situation though, he was taken back from the temple and enters the noble society
That's the power of patronage, when someone is endorsed they become as valued as the one who gave it to them, so a command from them is as valid as from the patron, disobey or refuse is as bad as refusing the patron. Not sure of how high his rank was, but a direct order from a lord to a knight being refused is enough to be executed.
I think Ferdinand wanted to give justice based on the offense against the apprentice. However, he knew that couldn't be done due to her "plebian" status. However, he did know how to turn their own rank based defense against them given his own superior status and rank.
at least he didn't go ape shit and slit the dude's throat. I mean think about it, she is so damn powerful that he is basically bending over backwards to see that she stays close to him so he can watch over her. look what he has done so far. if she were killed it would have been for nothing. he strikes me as a man not to cross, and someone how gets his way without caring over much who he steps on.
Green hair is executed for 1. Dissent. And 2. Insubordination. A few other things too. But those are the reasons for his execution. I loved the next scene where Ferdinand makes green hair use the staff to rejuvenate the land he passes out after the opening sentence and has a millimeter of grass at his feet... its impressive to all of them except myne karstedt and Ferdinand. Then myne picks up the staff and not only does she complete the prayer... the weather gets super charged with mana she grows knee high grass in seconds then flowers start blooming when ferdinand says the land is rejuvenated... "maybe a bit too much."
The green head guy is one of the ones that was called back from the church. He was a blue roped priest before the perch which basically means he's one of the problematic models that the family wants to hide and pretend they don't exist or he's one of the nobles that has so little mana that the family consider him a waste of space
Big spoiler alert: Myne then becomes a noble herself. One her guards is a mednoble, Angelica, a similar in rank with the green head, but her mana capacity, fight skills and moral are immensity better, even when she was only an apprentice, proving the mediocrity of him. Also, she would never let someone she’s in charge get harmed like that. That is the number one rule of knights and you’re considered scum if you don’t follow it.
Yeah Bookworm is up there because even though our mc here is infact op she's squish wizard op so she cant just punch through obstacles like a lot of other isekai protags. Plus even though she is op in some departments her lack of people skills and experience means she screws herself over sometimes, especially when it comes to her not realizing the full impact of her inovations.
Some context here: Ferdinand does not show emotion. When he saw what happened to Myne he was VISIBLY upset, so much so it made the vice commander nervous. The only reason Damuel didn't get beheaded was because he eventually relented and confessed.
The thing what always bugged my head about this situation is the fact that every shoulder should at least know there why was a blue roped priestess brought there, even if she's a little girl. One would think that a logically thinking sholder would know that if a little girl was brought there, she must be there for a REASON, since the blue roped priests are supposed to recover the land's mana. He should've known it, yet just because she's a" peasant" he wanted to gouge out her eyes. When she's the person who's only job is to restore the land's mana. Meaning, this soldier VILLINGLY JEOPARDIZED THE SUCCESS OF THE MISSION JUST BECAUSE OF THE RANKS. It always bugged my head that no one pointed this out.
Jezz class based society must blow to live in. It's not a matter of a man hurt this little girl, he basically has to spell out of disgusting his actions were to the entire company to get through Shikikoze's thick skull how bad he screwed up. Had it been literally anyone else reprimanding them, Shikikoze likey would have gotten off Scott free.
No, Ferdinand would have asked Mayne what happened and the green haired idot would have still been executed. Ferdinand did this to be a lessen to all the Knights about duty and reminding them that they serve to protect the land and the people that dwell in it.
Even rank aside there's a high. Chance Ferdinand could body all of those knights solo if he didn't hold back. To disobey his direct order was beyond dumb.
@@dj32798 try episode 2 of the new season (28 if counting from the first season) i remember they were talking about it during conversation with main, ferdinand, karstedt, and damue
It's so fucking gratifying that his own family agreed to turn their back on him instead of allowing themselves to be executed, as long as they forever leave Myne alone, and they pay a huge fine. Shicicoza is executed for his insolence, his family carries personal shame, even if the rumor is then spread that he died as a hero.
How hard is it to understand that there is no difference if she is a plebian or whatever if the commander told him to guard a damn rock or a pile of horse manure he better protect it with his life on the line instead of coming up with excuses not only to not do it but even do exactly the opposite.
Spoiler: I didnt expect to be that serious punishiment, but the green hair guy was killed because of this. The other guy basecally become Mayn bodyguard and got a louwer rank.
He is doing right thing if that girl is gonna grow with hatred towards nobility with so much magic power they are all will be dead he doing them a big favor
seeing how a pleb thought that she could accuse a noble shows how weird myne was. as last ep of season 3 shows us. ANYWAYS. is myne hadnt said anything, they potentially could have both been killed because theyre failures. Damuel would have been killed as well, but since he spoke up, it probably allowed myne to ask for his punishment to be less harsh. they dont need no weak useless dudes in army.
You should probably understand by now that you know you've royally-damned yourself if you indirectly entrusted your miserable fate at the mercy of a commoner maiden. It was a gamble for Damuel to be honest.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx yes. But they asked. It was actually a simpler situation than it seemed. He was told to protect, he didn't. The lesson even in real life is that the ones with higher authority take precedence. Especially in simple guard the person command, and he failed. Soldiers can't squabble about rank when they both got told to do one thing. Anyways. U r right.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx I'm rewatching. Damsel was literally told to speak up on the situation by his commanders. Doesn't matter if the commoner myne wouldn't be trusted over nobles or even killed for opposing a noble. The commander told em to speak up and he didn't. That's a double whammy.
When your superior tells you to "keep someone/-thing safe" and you then activly hurt/damage/destroy it because of selfish reasons, that's beyond insubordination, that's straight up treason.
That face of Shikza is truly a sight. The feeling of impending doom over this one slip up is so apparent. He knows the punishment for going against the word of the Aub of Ehrenfest, and yet, he cannot do anything to fix his mistake.
I can imagine Ferdinand quoting Thrawn himself unintentionally in conversarion with Kalrsted... 😅 F: "Do you know what the difference is between an error and a mistake?" K: "Uhm, no sir. What is it?" F: "An error only becomes a mistake once you refuse to correct it."
That he tried to justify his actions by being a noble, and her being "just a commoner" is a moot point, since he was given a direct order by his superior. When you're given an order to protect someone, their position relative to you doesn't matter. You do as you're told, and protect them as if they're the most important person in the world. Failure to do so shows not only that you're incapable of following orders, but also that you're not fit to guard anyone, especially someone of a higher rank, like your lord.
Yup and this is why there are basically no true nobility systems still in place in most of the world. I think there are 7 or 8 true monarchies left in the world, the rest are constitutional matriarchies like The UK and Japan. Nobles in those countries don't usually have any real power, though it does depend on the country. Fun fact. Germany's monarchy was taken down with a more or less peaceful cue. The royal family survived and have living decedents that are basically celebrities now.
The subject is brought up shortly after the scene. In this world nobles actually serve a purpose. Without their mana, the land doesn’t survive properly. They are also strong enough due to magic to easily defend themselves from the peasants. On earth nobles aren’t special.
I have neglected continuing this series (Light Novel). I remember this part and my blood boiled over with what they did with Myne. I think I need to continue reading this. (Looking at my book shelf, I think I only ended getting Part 4, Volume 1.... Tsk!)
So imagine getting paid by absolutely doing nothing at a well paying job, but decided to f*ck around and mess things up at the working place, resulting you in getting fired. This is basically him.
No, he was getting paid to guard her with his life so that she would not suffer even the tinest of scratches. So what does he do, basically tries to kill her......
reminder that if myne was angry enough, she could have exploded their insides in a matter of milliseconds form her mana control alone, and green haired mc dumbass decided to try and torture her when he was given the strict order of protecting her.... from a tree..... that was too far away to be a threat.... he literally had to stand thee and do nothing, and he would have done the mission correctly.

Damuel: "A noble who outranks me told me to keep my mouth shut"
Ferdinand: "Yes, and a noble who outranks the noble who outranks you told you to tell the truth, I think you can do the math yourself"
Actually, in the light novel later, on further than discusses this with Damuel. That has actions also looked down upon his because she was a commoner.
Sorry not sorry I am stealing this quote.

Ferdinand: You also sinned, Damuel. Now pay up.
@@anonnimoose7987
He did pay up 1/4 of the cost of the robed, demoted to apprentice for one year. And being forced to guard Myne for the one year.
This is an excellent example of accountability. Ferdinand not only turned his own justification against him, but he continued to damn his actions to the point where he would be incapable of defending himself in any way.
which is the reason why I picked thrawn's theme because I do believe its a solid theme for him!

which just goes to show how mind-boggling the level of incompetence is that led to myne being injured. she was in a perfectly safe place. all they had to do was not be total complete and utter dumbasses and not try to torture the person they were supposed to be protecting.
and yet we got something very satisfing out of it
Thank you for this explanation
They literally had ONE job and blew it tragically.
Correction: He and Damuel were chosen because them standing guard would have the lowest impact on the fighting strength of the force.
When Schicicoza fucks up, he fucks up with style
he not only ousted his predjudice against lower class citizens by pointing out her merit, he also said that by insulting her, he insulted Ferdinand, who clearly outranked him, and turned his logic of rank based on societal position against him. THEN pointed out that they were given clear orders that they ignored. And even went on to punish both him and the other guard as they were both to be held accountable for failing duty, and to add insult to injury, said their captain would face discipline too for not reigning in his men, basically insulting the man even more by saying he was incompetent and unruly by pointing out his captain's faults in training them.
He literally took his pride and tore it to shreds
It's not prejudice: it's a symptom of feudalism and a nobility. It's why the only real way to deal with them is the russian method.
Technically, Damuel got off with a slap on the wrist compared to Schichikoza, which could be seen as even more of an insult since Damuel was a lower ranked noble and yet suffered a far less severe punishment due to Myne outright requesting that Damuel be shown leniency. SPOILERS:
Shichikoza was ultimately executed for his actions (something that pisses off his mother). Damuel on the other hand was merely demoted and then assigned to Myne as her personal knight and retainer (which I would honestly have considered a reward, since Myne outright requested leniency for Damuel as she clearly trusted him). So while Damuel was demoted for his failure to protect Myne from Schichikoza, he was technically then rewarded for at least having tried to stand up for her by being assigned to her as her personal retainer and knight (which could also be seen as him being given a second chance to protect her to make up for his prior failure).
Damuel is the kind of man you *want* as a knight, as he's a kind man who doesn't judge Myne for being of "common" birth. He merely needed to be more confident about being able to call out the actions of others regardless of rank when they crossed a line.
@@gamester512
Damuel's punishment was certainly long-term though.
By resigning himself from being an independent knight as becoming the Knight Commander of Rozemyne's personal guard, he wasn't able to marry the woman he wishes to marry because his involvement with Rozemyne's rechristening as a noble is too sensitive of an information to leak for someone who is a lowly laynoble like him.
On top of that, she was granted blue robed by religious leaders as well as their king. Dude said, “you have committed both treason and blasphemy. Your ego has doomed your family’s existence. Not as nobles, but as part of the living.”
@@orangeapples Not King, archduke. There is an actual king but Erhenfast is ruled by an archduke.
Plus there is one major thing here. In worlds like this, if you join the military, you no longer just have to follow noble etiquette, but military as well. So if you happen to disobey an order from your higher ups, you can still face punishment (possibly with some leniency), with it being guaranteed if they're of higher noble class. So even if his job was to escort a commoner, he should have darn well listened since this was an order from a higher up on both fields.
Indirectly that’s kind of the point.
In older class based military your better‘s had higher ranks. Nobles would be officers, and commoners the enlisted. Ferdinand basically told him I am the highest ranking person here and I gave you a direct order. You disobeyed it, and I really don’t care what your reasons are.
It was merely a cleansing of the royal gene pool.
In the story's world class rank overwhelms even military rank but even with that in mind Ferdinand is the brother of the arch Duke and karsted is like one step lower as the head of military and the arch dukes bodyguard
@@zekebanks7876 Karstedt is from the line of the archducal family, I believe. His father Bonifatius was an archduke candidate from the previous generation, so Ferdinand and the current Aub Ehrenfest are his cousins.
@Eiru true but almost all the nobles are inter bred but they are cousins
Perfect example of your job being to do nothing and still failing at it.
humans at their finest
Well, techinacly, their job was protect Myne with their lives to make sure that Myne would not even suffer the tinest of scratches and that fool basically tried to kill her and the bigger fool didn't try to stop him by any means neccessary.
Yeah that's the expression of a man who realizes that in the _best case_ he's probably fired.
He got executed.
@@alexiosblake9804 Which is still actually better than it could have gone for him.
In some noble house set ups, a noble baring a name as a knight (or equivalent) is acting as a representative of their house. Meaning that by not only failing to protect, but _actively damaging_ the heraldry of a higher house being worn by that 'rankless plebian' they gave direct insult to that higher house...
I should not need to clarify exactly how bad that can go. At least he only paid for his fuck up with _his_ life.
@@MizukiStone44 exactly. If memory serves, his family had to basically disown him, pay a fine and reparations, and lost a bit of standing with the rest of the nobility. Just to avoid having the entire family executed while also having his execution be hushed up.
@@Outlawbyname They also had to sign some kind of binding contract that expressly forbade them (or more specifically Schicicoza's mother) from seeking revenge against Myne or her family
Or maybe I'm making this up, I can't remember clearly
And the following episode it is noted that his family is fighting for him.
I’m not sure what kind of detail they went into in the novel.
Or if Ferdinand actually cared other than making an example out of him.
God what a miserable society to live in. Where guilt is determined by rank, not by deed. Even when someone is trying to do the right thing, they can only do it through exploiting the system. Ferdinand cant just say, "You hurt myne, die." He has to justify it by spelling out how he violated orders from the highest ranking officer there and spat on the wishes of the lord of the territory. Because that was the only real crime here according to this society.
I agree!
Umm, unless it's a common theme. Here, all I see is him showing the guy the irony that he disobey his superior despite all that talk about ranks.
So he is just using the rules that noble praised so much against him. It might be possible they don't have laws against discrimination back then so he can't use that to judge either. So he is just putting that guy in his place using the very rules that guy used against her, pretty satisfying actually.
You just see things in a negative light too much
The equivalent would be a noble ordering his servants to take good care of a new slave but instead they abused the slave cause servant is of higher status. Then the noble punished them for ignoring his order cause the noble is of higher status than a servant. See the funny part?

While this show is a bit cheesy at time to me, I still find it so fun to watch, if nothing else then for the amount of realistic events that balance out the show, it actually utilizes the politics and underlying motives of the characters with real substance, with actual consequences. It such a fun and interesting watch
I agree!
I recommend giving the light novels a go. The anime left out a huge amount of world building and is often more serious.
I just watch it to support a fellow bookworm. I do not pay attention to any of the serious plot. Just like Myne, I'm there for the books. Nothing more, nothing less.
You should consider reading the light novel series. It's 1000x better because this series has so much complexity and in depth character development they could only put a small amount in the anime and keep the story very restricted. The LN series is told from Myne's perspective and the world building is several levels better giving vibrant descriptions of the politics, culture, and people over time. The anime basically ends where the real story began. It only covered a small part of the first 2 Parts of the story out of 5 parts. Parts 3-5 are much longer with a lot more books and the story progresses significantly.

When Schicikoza said "She's a plebeian", he didn't say "she" (kanojo), he said "are" which to my knowledge, is best translated as "that". Aka he said "That's a plebeian", referring to Main.
Or more accurately, "It" could be the meaning here. She isnt even a person to him, a low ranking thing. Better he was guarding a box of rations, because at least those have value in his eyes.

@@TheDman131 You have to combine the need to convey the meaning of the words, the desire for accuracy with the constraints of matching lip movements. For what they have to work with, the dub is plenty acceptable.

The beautiful irony of the guy who said that others should know their place getting taught just how low his own place was.
On a side note in the novel Myne was more careful here, speaking to Kardstet (someone check that spelling) on his request whilst the others were elsewhere.
If she had handled it this way in the novel she would have essentially jumped off a cliff on the chance that Ferdinand or Kardstet would catch her.
Its interesting that this show is about how the nobility hierarchy is flawed and even dangerous but also shows why it was such a useful tool. Ferdinand here knew what was best because he was privy to all the information and he knew all the information because of his capability and status. Karsetedt is also told it was his Job to make sure he trained them properly. So the question then becomes what changed to turn these Axioms upside down? The answer is simple and thats the theme of this anime, Books. Once information becomes readily available to everyone then the masses can rule themselves.
Masses can't rule themselfs. Never it was. You need knowledge, intelligence, ambition, status, wisdom, charisma, even luck...

This is not theoretical. This is how society was centuries ago.
The nobles were the nobles. They were constantly scheming and conniving. And killing a commoner or injuring them, was not a crime for them.
Especially in feudal Japan.
To have soldiers that directly disobey, an order of a superior does show poor training.

Personally I’m not a big fan of subtitles.
They have their own issues. First focusing on the text means you can’t focus on the action.
And second the exact same problem with dubs. Sometimes the Japanese have a single word for something that doesn’t translate to English. Leaving you a little time to read the phrase before it moves to the next scene.
No method is going to be perfect. The only way to do it properly would be to learn Japanese.
@@neilkurzman4907 really? I can focus on both, i guess it just depends on the person

I guess it would be easier if I did it more often. I’ve only watched one series that I thought was good enough to be worth the extra effort. And it didn’t have So much action that it was a problem. The devil is a part timer.
And fast moving action I’ve noticed often that the Japanese have a single word for something that doesn’t translate as a single word in English.
Which means the time to read it is insufficient. That where they have the same problem as dubbing where you change the dialogue to fit.
I saw a video on how the dubbing is done and it appears to be a lot of work.

I copied this in wiki and wanted to share to everyone
The Japanese version of his name is "Shikikōza", which spelled backwards means "Small-Fry Knight" (雑魚騎士, zako kishi).
Interesting!
Ok, that’s funny
LMAO
Best part? Shikikoza tried to use the same magic Myne would be using and failed, affecting only a small area around him leaving him barely standing. Myne then flexes on him with no issue and could've done more
Eh, that was mostly Ferdinand using him as a way for Myne to demonstrate her value to the rest of the knights, and thus nip the issue in the bud since no one will further doubt her usefulness. Shik got executed for his fuck up, so its not like the little demonstration would have even mattered on that front.
@@ShaggyRogers1 It was still one final humiliation for him to endure prior to his execution.
*Schicicoza:* People need to know their place in society.

The opposite, actually. IIRC, Schichikoza is actually judged to have committed such a heinous act and violation of his assigned duties during his trial/hearing that he's completely disowned by his entire family, and then I believe he is actually *EXECUTED* for what he did to Main. The other guy however, as per Main's later request that he be shown lenience (since he actually tried to stand up for and protect her) is shown much more mercy and isn't punished nearly as severely as Schichikoza is.
This anime is so good. Definitely goat for me. Hopefully they'll continue making new series till the end of the story.
The series is both a freely available (but untranslated) web novel and a light novel. The web novel is really quite good, even when read through Google Translate.

Love the fact that Schicicoza is so cocky here only to end up being put to death for his actions here. He seriously made a mistake disobeying orders.
for anyone wondering why Ferdinand's robes are blue: colored robes were worn by nobles to indicate which duchy they were from and knights who wore these robes more often other nobles wore robes only when inter-duchy events or going to the royal academy. Myne and Ferdinand's residence and setting in the anime is the Ehrenfest duchy. Ehrenfest robes are symbolized by yellow robes like the knights in this scene but only Ferdinand is wearing blue. The blue robes that Ferdinand use he got when he participating in a betting match against a higher duchy that duchy's wore blue on their robes. Ferdinand was able to defeat the knight students from a higher duchy with a cunning scheme and get the cloak from those duchy and until now the person who owns the cloak still considers Ferdinand as a rival and wants to fight again to get the robe. It wasn't just a robe because the robes of the nobles contained magical protection so such robes were very precious to the nobles and the robes is and the robe was actually a betrothed gift from the fiancé of the man Ferdinand defeated
You are full right about that, and i hope to see him later, even if it has to be season 5 or later
Schicikoza is a noble just because his parents are one. He doesn't have any achievement worthy of a noble
Yeah thats basically how nobility works
He's not even a acknowledged to be a noble before this since he's a blue priest. He only has noble blood. And since those blue priests in the temple sometimes got the gray robe priestess pregnant, most of those in orphanage also had noble blood. The difference between him and the orphans was that he had family who supports him by paying some considerable sums. Because of the current situation though, he was taken back from the temple and enters the noble society
Actually the music fits with that guy.
That's the power of patronage, when someone is endorsed they become as valued as the one who gave it to them, so a command from them is as valid as from the patron, disobey or refuse is as bad as refusing the patron.
Not sure of how high his rank was, but a direct order from a lord to a knight being refused is enough to be executed.
I think Ferdinand wanted to give justice based on the offense against the apprentice. However, he knew that couldn't be done due to her "plebian" status. However, he did know how to turn their own rank based defense against them given his own superior status and rank.
we need more. its a good anime. its not for everyone but for those who gets it, its great.
Not bad adding the soundtrack of star wars here, and it suits quite perfectly.
I feel this quote is fitting here: "when someone shows you who they really are, believe them."
at least he didn't go ape shit and slit the dude's throat.
I mean think about it, she is so damn powerful that he is basically bending over backwards
to see that she stays close to him so he can watch over her.
look what he has done so far. if she were killed it would have been for nothing.
he strikes me as a man not to cross, and someone how gets his way
without caring over much who he steps on.
Green hair is executed for 1. Dissent. And 2. Insubordination. A few other things too. But those are the reasons for his execution. I loved the next scene where Ferdinand makes green hair use the staff to rejuvenate the land he passes out after the opening sentence and has a millimeter of grass at his feet... its impressive to all of them except myne karstedt and Ferdinand. Then myne picks up the staff and not only does she complete the prayer... the weather gets super charged with mana she grows knee high grass in seconds then flowers start blooming when ferdinand says the land is rejuvenated... "maybe a bit too much."
The green head guy is one of the ones that was called back from the church. He was a blue roped priest before the perch which basically means he's one of the problematic models that the family wants to hide and pretend they don't exist or he's one of the nobles that has so little mana that the family consider him a waste of space
Yep, heads are gonna roll over this... After a butt load of pain.
Ha, literally.
I believe Schicikoza has turned to CHAOS... sponsored by the Archbishop himself

@@savathunthejudge914 there's also a God of chaos in this anime universe.
Big spoiler alert: Myne then becomes a noble herself. One her guards is a mednoble, Angelica, a similar in rank with the green head, but her mana capacity, fight skills and moral are immensity better, even when she was only an apprentice, proving the mediocrity of him. Also, she would never let someone she’s in charge get harmed like that. That is the number one rule of knights and you’re considered scum if you don’t follow it.

I never get tired of this scene, i LOVE RE WATCHING THIS PLAY OUT THE WAY IT DOES
I absolutely love this anime
Some context here:
Ferdinand does not show emotion. When he saw what happened to Myne he was VISIBLY upset, so much so it made the vice commander nervous. The only reason Damuel didn't get beheaded was because he eventually relented and confessed.
Actually, Damuel was saved be cause mine put a good word for him
Such a great anime to relax to
That it is!
The thing what always bugged my head about this situation is the fact that every shoulder should at least know there why was a blue roped priestess brought there, even if she's a little girl. One would think that a logically thinking sholder would know that if a little girl was brought there, she must be there for a REASON, since the blue roped priests are supposed to recover the land's mana. He should've known it, yet just because she's a" peasant" he wanted to gouge out her eyes. When she's the person who's only job is to restore the land's mana.
Meaning, this soldier VILLINGLY JEOPARDIZED THE SUCCESS OF THE MISSION JUST BECAUSE OF THE RANKS.
It always bugged my head that no one pointed this out.
Im glade Damuel became mynes bodyguard in season 3 cause he spoke the truth, he mentioned Schicicoze getting life in prison
Nah that dude straight up got executed. Though it waz mainly kept hush hush.

Jezz class based society must blow to live in. It's not a matter of a man hurt this little girl, he basically has to spell out of disgusting his actions were to the entire company to get through Shikikoze's thick skull how bad he screwed up. Had it been literally anyone else reprimanding them, Shikikoze likey would have gotten off Scott free.
No, Ferdinand would have asked Mayne what happened and the green haired idot would have still been executed. Ferdinand did this to be a lessen to all the Knights about duty and reminding them that they serve to protect the land and the people that dwell in it.
Even rank aside there's a high. Chance Ferdinand could body all of those knights solo if he didn't hold back. To disobey his direct order was beyond dumb.

His half brother had no trouble ditching him. He didn’t have a high opinion of him.

Man, this blue-haired knight is like an adulte version of Rimuru Tempest.
That he tried to justify his actions by being a noble, and her being "just a commoner" is a moot point, since he was given a direct order by his superior. When you're given an order to protect someone, their position relative to you doesn't matter. You do as you're told, and protect them as if they're the most important person in the world. Failure to do so shows not only that you're incapable of following orders, but also that you're not fit to guard anyone, especially someone of a higher rank, like your lord.

@@dayanarosmie7383 You can always rewatch it!
Yup and this is why there are basically no true nobility systems still in place in most of the world. I think there are 7 or 8 true monarchies left in the world, the rest are constitutional matriarchies like The UK and Japan. Nobles in those countries don't usually have any real power, though it does depend on the country. Fun fact. Germany's monarchy was taken down with a more or less peaceful cue. The royal family survived and have living decedents that are basically celebrities now.
The subject is brought up shortly after the scene. In this world nobles actually serve a purpose. Without their mana, the land doesn’t survive properly. They are also strong enough due to magic to easily defend themselves from the peasants. On earth nobles aren’t special.
One of the best reads ive had. Atleast it has a good storyline.
Honestly can’t wait for next season of that anime.

reminder that if myne was angry enough, she could have exploded their insides in a matter of milliseconds form her mana control alone, and green haired mc dumbass decided to try and torture her when he was given the strict order of protecting her.... from a tree..... that was too far away to be a threat.... he literally had to stand thee and do nothing, and he would have done the mission correctly.
i had watched it until the end and learned alot thanks master
