Toonka - Blog Posts

Having several TCF thoughts atm.

Okay, so I'm not caught up at all (I've just finished the first fight with the white star) but thanks to several asshole cousins of mine, I have received several spoilers. Like, all the big spoilers I assume. And from that as well as my own analysis, I have some thoughts.

Cale has more abilities than just Instant and Record

Toonka is one of my absolute favourite characters

Adin is an actual piece of shit

Cale has to be like, a God or something. No fucking way he just does that shit. (At the same time, i rly hope he's not anything extra, and he just gets his slacker life eventually, he deserves it)

The white star is a fucking bastard who deserves nothing but to be absolutely obliterated by our favourite wannabe slacker

Bob #1 appreciation post. We love you Bob #1.

“I am stupid. I do not know any fancy words and my head doesn’t work very well. However, I do know one thing… Why did you all choose to follow me? Why did you hold up your farming equipment, clench onto rocks, and follow behind me? Why did we fight?! I will only charge forward this time as well! Your opinions are not important. Follow behind me. Chase after me. Do not worry about your back." Toonka (Chapter 280)

The first battle of Maple Castle

The animation of the battle of Maple Castle encouraged me to re-read it and I really enjoyed it (⌒▽⌒)☆

Spoilers for chapters 280 to 288

The Whipper king is a fucking cowardly bastard who deserved to die during the civil war and it is certain that unless he acts as an enemy or obstacle he will die in every fic I am ever going to write 凸(`△´＃)

The way Toonka encouraged his soldiers made me enjoy his unique style of charisma and the strategy meeting was simply amazing.

The beginning of the battle was fabulous, in fact the references to KRS's life and the cataclysm were fabulous and now I understand everything correctly (*¯︶¯*)

Toonka ignoring all formalities and attacking instantly was simply art.

The way the soldiers (from both sides) reacted once the barbarians and the third brigade clashed was incredible, I like the way it is indicated that even those who are not warriors as long as they are from the Whipper kingdom are crazy (at least from the eyes of the empire) (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

I really liked the clash between Toonka and Huten since it shows the character of both parties and that same meeting is what motivates Kanelle to go ahead with the plan (*≧ω≦*)

I liked the bone birds, they show the progress of the Whipper kingdom in accepting magic again, from nothing to just magical tools to magic being allowed but only as long as no one in the town gets hurt. Huten being tricked, the native wizards acting freely and unleashing their full power, the dwarves gaining determination to defeat the lions, and Cale discovering his new power; All of this happened in a single chapter (385) and it was so fast that I felt like I was really there, sheltered in the castle and seeing the war in front of me. That Huten thought Cale would never rise up against the empire was funny paraphrasing Raon "Human! Are we scamming the Duke?!" Hay and Raon! It's super cute! The way he said that all of Cale's powers had to be fortified and then got sad because he didn't have enough in his piggy bank touched my heart! (っ˘ω˘ς )

The wizards creating a bottleneck for the warriors to fight with Toonka and his people excited was great! I felt my adrenaline rising! ٩(◕‿◕)۶

The political plots in the background were just the icing on the cake and Choi Han pledging to stay hidden and being a tsundere with Toonka I loved it! Huten wanting to kill Toonka and automatically forgetting about him as soon as Choi Han arrived was very "I don't care about you anymore, I have a new rival" style, but it happens that that rival is just as (more) stronger than me and seems to have come out of hell ↑_(ΦwΦ)Ψ

Meanwhile Choi Han used it as a springboard to improve his sword art. Huten thinking that Choi Han is a noble for his "refined sword art" was funny and in the background the soldiers going crazy and shouting instructions like they should tie the enemies' feet improved the situation a lot (ᵔ◡ᵔ)b

Choi Han understanding that he didn't fall into darkness thanks to his family was very cute to me and his joint battle with Toonka was great. I like the way they treat the "grand Duke of the empire" like a rag doll <(￣ω￣)>

And the first time I saw the Whipper kingdom strategy I didn't understand it but now I was excited to reach the climax of it, the chaos caused was glorious with all the rubble falling and every armor destroyed \(✯◡✯)/

This is how the first battle of Maple Castle ends.

Secondary characters need more love! o(>< )o (Part 1: Sully)

Ok, well I'm going to be honest, I love the secondary characters in this novel and I want more to appear (o^▽^o)

It's as simple as that and I'm going to rant about how they deserved to appear more or have greater importance and participation (；⌣̀_⌣́)

Let's start with Sully, you remember him? I highly doubt it Σ(▼□▼メ) He is one of the characters who most deserved greater importance (」゜ロ゜)」

He and his grandmother are the only human elementalists in the entire novel (￣□￣」) ! Why in the name of all the gods is it not of greater importance (╬ Ò﹏Ó) !?

Not only that, it only appeared twice! TWICE! ヽ( `д´*)ノ

Heck, his elemental can literally purify dead mana after it started imitating the fire of destruction ヾ( ￣O￣)ツ

What's more, his elemental is a baby! And he's already powerful enough for the world tree to throw him out for fear of being incinerated! Why don't they respect his canonical power and make him participate more (＞ｍ＜) ?!

I really like the responsible older brother-annoying younger brother dynamic that the two of them have ( ◡‿◡ ♡)

Why couldn't they in canon, don't I know? Give him a good character arc (＃＞＜) ?!

His character is so underrated that after he leaves with the elves he is never mentioned, what the hell happened to him?! Disappeared out of nowhere or what ヽ(　￣д￣)ノ?!

I feel like he could have been given more involvement for example in the Molden Kingdom (←_←)

He could have helped purify the dead mana in the labyrinth and probably helped create more chaos, we must not forget that no matter how innocent Sully is, his elemental was raised by our favorite wind elemental (Chaos! Destruction! Love! Thanks! ＼(≧▽≦))

I also feel like he might have become good friends with Toonka and Harold for some reason and I think the interactions between the three of them would be really fun ヽ(o^―^o)ﾉ

Edit: I just realized the implications of Sully's elemental (who I will now call Spark) accompanying Cale to Sha-Orlen (*^ω^)

The idea that they turn Sully and Spark into the Saint of the God of Purification (Cale does not count for them, he is the incarnation of their god) by thinking that the flame of purification is alive and it is Sully who takes care of it and thus misinterpreting everything the situation believing that her god had left her in her care (￣ω￣)

I think that at some point GoP would offer him the position of real Saint so that his followers won't be praising the wrong person and Sully (due to lack of sleep caused by escaping from the most fanatical) accepts ¯＼_(ツ)_/¯

I bet you all you want that he's going to complain about "his god" to Cage for months after that ┐(︶▽︶)┌
