Thinking about how in the midst of the hostility currently directed at Amethio in-universe, Friede still remains the only one so far who expressed joy at his presence..
#that's his rival!!#i wonder if amethio notices the hostility or even cares about it#i guess he doesn't because he is just focused on trying to do what he can for gibeon#still it's a bit sad :/#being considered as getting in the way or a nuisance etc.#he has subordinates but it's still more of a professional relationship#a sense of distance there...#zir and conia are always glad he is safe of course but the hierarchical nature of that dynamics still stands in the way etc#that's why it stands out to me that friede got to express open joy and excitement at a few different points#about amethio being there at all (like in ep 45)#and being the only one so far too#(liko is still wary of him for good reason)#friede was so happy he found a rival on his level :(#it's cute when he gets to show these sides of his character...#i wonder if amethio saw a bit of spinel in friede in the first chapter?#we know spinel taunts amethio when he gets an opportunity to do so#and friede had this slightly teasing side too (but no ill will)#since i got the impression that amethio was projecting a lot of things onto friede at the beginning#(which was funny)#(the way he took things in the worst possible way etc)#anyway!#i really like their rivalry tbh#it's genuinely so compelling#for what it brings them both as characters#and how it relates to wider themes etc#character notes#episode notes#hz064

Lifechanging moment this year is when Amethio showed up and revealed he had mastered Terastal and proceeded to imitate Friede's pose specifically while using it.
#looking back on the year of horizons etc. retrospective#anyway that was great and he did the same thing again in ep 64 against liko so#like yeah we'll establish that hamber is the one who trained amethio in ep 34 and presumably taught him everything he knows in battles#and hamber encouraging amethio in his pursuit for strength by bringing up gibeon#yet the moment amethio branches out and seeks strength in his own way and carve his own path#there is a Very Specific person he is imitating. huh.#not the one who (possibly) trained him all his life and who gave him his tera orb#but someone else entirely. that person being friede.#anyway that was something. deeply meaningful#when the preview for ep 45 dropped i remember being like 'hey it sure looks like amethio has the same pose as friede'#'is that where they are going with it' and they did just that.#they really could have made something unique to amethio but they made this intentional choice (re: same pose)#to convey something very specific about his character and to land a point.#makes me insane the layers this has to it in terms of characterization. I think that's neat and I wanna write more on this#friede kakkoi..#hz045#character notes#episode notes
