* IdiotBall: Migaila's plot to be with Siddhartha makes no sense. Even if she did win the contest and revealed herself to Yashodara, it's unlikely that Yashodara would just "give up" and more likely that the princess would call for her guards to arrest the imposter. It would've been far simpler for Siddhartha and Migaila to just run away together before the contest. Lampshaded by Siddhartha saying "What a reckless plan," but he goes along with it anyway. Justified by them being young and in love.
