Thinking about the fight against Don Quixote Sr.

Even though he can’t ever verbally express it in front of his other Kindred, he still finds ways to support Sancho during his fight. The first example I noticed was during the Windmill phase, where his gondola attack won’t deal damage if you give even the inkling of not wanting to be hit (defense skill).

The second, more meaningful one to me was during the Carousel Horse phase. There, he will target his own horses and damage them into staggering so you can finish them off to turn them into horses that buff Sancho, the ones representing their shared dream. The ones representing the dream Don Quixote let fall and Sancho returned with. Even though he feels that his own dream has ended, maybe it isn’t impossible in Sancho’s hands.

Still thinking about how Dad Quixote was born in the wrong world. Tokyo Ghoul is similarly depressing sometimes (though especially because of all the shit Kaneki goes through), but the ending is much similar to the hemobar solution Dad Quixote came up with. Like yes, even in TG:Re it's not a perfect ending, there are ghouls who simply will continue to kill and consume humans, but they don't have to and that's still a happy ending.

Dad Quixote had no such happy ending with his solution. It's awful and sad and god I wish he and his family didn't have to suffer due to being born in such a cruel world.

Why is it that some were given the role of villain The moment they were released into this system?

canto 7 spoilers under

I have a fun theory-ish thing I've been brewing up and that is that refraction railways serve as the actual thematic connections between cantos. I can't speak much for the first two railways, but railway 3 had the 'mirrorclock orangeroad' theme before going into canto 6, in T corp.

And more recently, railway 4, masquerade. Beyond the obvious connection in name alone to the bloodfiends in la Manchaland all wearing masks, there's also some really interesting parallels between it and Canto 7 with the names of the first and last stops being banquet and feast respectively, the envy peccatulum who shallowly try and replicate humanity, dreaming electric sheep which reflects a question on humanity...

And THEN there's the King in Binds.

The king bound to his throne, decaying. And yet not physically trapped, as we see when he chooses to leave of his own volition to battle us, but rather presumably bound out of some sense of duty. Who throws his vassals at us in the first stage of the fight before choosing to take things into his own hands.

Seems familiar doesn't it

Manager Sancho UT3 Emotional Damage Megathread

I’d like to begin by calling Don Quixote of La Manchaland the densest mf of all time for sending Sancho away. My man. You are depriving your entire Family of your presence, sending your first child away while smiling and laughing in Bari’s company.

“I no longer have need for your company.”

WINGS ABOVE. While I’m quite sure that Sancho’s excuses for Don Quixote were actually on the mark, all he’s telling his Family is that their presence does not bring him joy; that this human Fixer is worth more than all of them, and that he would cherish her company over theirs.

Don Quixote likely does so under the expectation that Sancho, his most rebellious child, would return to him should she find a more suitable arrangement for their time. What time does she have left, looking after La Manchaland per his direct order? Since when has Sancho ever truly gone against him after accepting an order? Her grousing and criticism happens while she still considers a request negotiable. Don Quixote’s wording was far from ambiguous. If I were to hazard a guess, I don’t think Don Quixote has ever dismissed Sancho from his side like this. If anything, he is usually the one dragging Sancho into his hobbies in an effort to include her in his small joys. He does not comprehend the scope of his power over his Children nor the ramifications of breaking a precedent. There is no mirror world where Sancho would have refused him, especially at that juncture before she warmed up to Bari’s stories. The only thing that allowed our Sancho to stay at Don Quixote’s side was his inaction upon seeing Sancho show interest.

Placing yet more responsibilities on Sancho and stationing her permanently in La Manchaland was as good as exile.

But that’s not the painful part!

What truly hurt me in this UT3 was the tornado swept up by the butterfly’s wingbeat.

Don Quixote let down the blood barrier sealing La Manchaland at Sancho’s pleading. Sancho, who has never asked anything of him during her entire life as his Kindred. There was no way the other Kindred did not make this same plea. It did not take 200 years for his walls to crumble. Don Quixote’s heart breaks for Sancho specifically. It is the same love that in our world sent Sancho away astride Rocinante, both of them surviving on opposite sides of an insurmountable wall.

I must also mention that at no point does Sancho ever mention her own thirst, only describing that particular yearning and madness in collective. Blood has always been for the Family, but the yearning for emotional connection is hers too. The one thing she lets slip — and only in the cover of her own mind — was her pain at having been excluded from her Father’s dream, all her sacrifices invisible in his eyes’ reflection. When she sees her lower Kindred, her responsibility suffering the same, what else can she do but correct herself and bury her individual pain with the bodies of her kin?
