YMMV / Alderamin on the Sky

• Awesome Music: The opening is very catchy and upbeat [1].
• Complete Monster: Lt. General Tamutsukusuku Safida is the top commander of the Northern Border Regiment with a devious scheme for glory. An incompetent general who's looked down upon, Safida intends to start a war with the Sinack tribe, a ethnic group of civilians, both out of personal disdain and to look like a victorious general. To that end, he imposed poor conditions to the Sinack tribe, leaving them in great poverty and stealing their spirits, considered sacred to them. Once the Sinack tribe retaliates in a bloody crusade, Safida showed no mercy, burning their villages and trying to have all of them killed, including innocent bystanders. He even abused his authority, sending soldiers without a care to near certain death, resulting in thousands of casualties. When the Sinack tribe's main village was taken over, Safida allowed his men to Rape, Pillage, and Burn it while glorifying himself. Once he's charged for his crime by the royal court, Safida tried to throw his own followers under the bus to save himself, knowing it will result to the death penalty.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Jean became beloved almost immediately upon his introduction. Not only is he an interesting antagonist, but his abilities and personality drip Magnificent Bastard, and he's competent enough to be a challenge for Ikta.
