Cid continuing to gaslight himself is hilarious and I loved the Sherry scenes where she thought she was being stealthy. LMAO! What did you think of this episode? Thanks for watching!

2022-11-23 20:15:08 +0000 UTCThis is pure speculation, but I would assume that when Nu was afflicted by the curse people, including her betrothed Marco, abandoned her (or at least that's what she thinks), which erased all good will she had for him.

2022-11-23 19:25:18 +0000 UTCIt also doesn't mention exactly what happened between her and Marco. I have my hypothesis on who Nu was before she joined Shadow Garden, but there is nothing that is very solid. I believe that Nu was the girl from earlier that Alpha defeated. Now the story seems to indicate the girl died when Alpha defeated her and the way Alpha was talking certainly made it seem that way as well, but there are a few points I would like to bring up. First of all is Nu's sadistic personality. The anime only briefly touched on it, but in the manga she is shown to be more sadistic and enjoys inflicting pain on those she considers enemies. This would make sense if Nu was the girl/creature from before as she/it had been tortured and experimented on for possibly years. She suffered more than any of the other possessed that has been introduced so far. Second, and by far the weakest, is that both Nu and the girl were nobles before they became possessed. Again, weak and just circumstantial evidence, but evidence none the less. :) Third is the flashback in the anime that Nu had in a previous episode. Now if you take the flashback with a little subcouncious seriousness, the possession seemed to have started with her left arm. After the fight with Alpha if you look at the girls left arm when they do the close up after her defeat you'll notice that her left arm is still discolored and scarred. Also the possessed girls left arm was also fused with her body. Fourth, and final, also involving my third point is that while talking with Shadow after she first infilitrated the school, in the manga, he mentions that she is good at changing her appearance. She tells him that she has mastered disguises and appearance alteration. She also says that her unaltered appearance is disfigured and hideous to look at. This involve point three cause if the disfiguration and scarring that was apparent on the arm also involved other parts of her body, including her face this would make sense. Now a counter argument could be made since in Nu's flashback looked nothing like the girl in the picture, but the Nu we saw in the flashback looked EXACTLY like the Nu that we saw when she was introduced. My thoughts are that the appearance of Nu in the flashback was based of her current look because that was how she saw herself now, not how she looked then. You might not have noticed, but Marco was the one she was dancing with in the flashback, and Marco was also involved in all the scenes we've seen with Nu up till now, except for her introduction at the store. After she had her flashback about the school, we see Marco in the background and he's the one that took the seat at the cafe.

What was left out from the Manga is that Nu actually stabs Marco after the conversation with Shadow cause she realized he was still alive and was testing if he was concious and was only faking being uncouncious. She then mentions that he gets to live since if he was concious she would have killed him right there for overhearing the conversation.
