Yeah ya can't really tell with this series who's gonna stay completely dead or not.

I assume Derriere is dead but I put good odds on us getting some kind of 'look they're together in the afterlife' or 'they reincarnated together!' deal with her and Monspiet.

I don't know why, but I'd laugh if it turn out they were both suffering in hell.

Not sure where this sudden desire to be a dick came from. Guess I'm just evil deep down.

Well they did go AWOL.

Though at the very least they had the decency to eventually go back to their commanding officer for a formal resignation.

So their not totally irredeemable. tongue

[up]No they did not. They just deserted and then got attacked by Estarossa.

They were planning to back to Zel & give him their commandments with the intent of telling him they don’t want to fight anymore.

That’s close to a resignation.

Esta just stopped them before they went to him.

He was just way, way chill about it.

Like he was quite serene then he mutated and exploded the bird for no reason. Following that stated he would have killed his ally if someone else had not beaten him to the punch. (Even though she survived.) Just so he could brutally torture the one he thought was his brother to death. With the same serene attitude. He lost his composure for the first time when Escanor blasted him away. Then he decided to steal the commandments, and started murdering his supposed allies (When he did not need to.) and along with innocent people for fun.

Then he started losing his marbles.

I really liked him better when he was just chill.

Cause when he became an out & out psychopath he became surprisingly generic.

Anime has developed a certain way of portraying psychopathic characters, a certain try-hard archetype that is so distinct you can tell "Oh shit I've seen this before."

That big-ass smile Esta had when he was wearing those tacky-ass shadow clothes really made me think that. Not to mention his other over the top actions that tried so hard to sell "This guy is fucking insane."

[up]Even when he was serene it was clear the guy was probably the most evil of the Commandments. It just started to become clear as the series went on that he was way more evil then the rest of them, and eventually he started going full on insane. Losing his mind fully when he adsorbed the other commandments and got his memories back.

Yeah. Pure evil Estarossa who was completely chill about it was much, much better than crazy psycho archangel Estarossa.

But of course. Where this series excels like none before it is in the constant anticlimaxes.

Well that was easy.

Could have just restrained him & then have Gowther invaded him this whole time.

That was basically the only time that happened.
