Doku wo Kurawaba Sara Made - By Tobari Sawa (8/10)
Tumblr media
Our protagonist is a father who will do whatever it takes to save his daughter, and himself, from complete ruin. He's trapped inside an Otome Game, so fate will never favor him. As the father of the Villainess he has nothing, so he throws away his pride and he uses seduction. It works too well.
The Kingdom of Parsemis is magically blessed. There is a barbaric tradition.
A holy maiden MUST be sacrificed to the nations patron Dragon every ten years.
It's a political thing.
Tumblr media
Andrim realizes he is s fool when he watches his only daughter lose. He treated her like a pawn. A convenient daughter from a dead woman.
He realizes she never had a chance.
He never had a chance.
He's not even the main villain.
He, and his daughter, are both prolouge villains.
The ultimate insult.
Tumblr media
The Villainess will be executed!!! Is such a trite ending. Here it's more horrible.
In this scenario Natasha, the protagonist, was destined to be eaten by the dragon.
Julietta, the Villainess, was supposed to wed the prince.
The Prince uses his authority to remove Julietta from power and get rid of her in one fell swoop.
Why is this possible?
Natasha is the destined holy maiden, but Julietta is from a special sage bloodline...so conveniently she can be sacrificed as well.
A loving father would have kept Julietta far away from the Prince.
Natasha, of course, realized she could seduce the Prince and save herself.
Andrim was a total fool.
If he had just protected his daughter a little bit both of them would have survived.
Tumblr media
Andrim remains calm. He thinks about what he can do. His daughter is doomed and the Prince clearly wants him gone too.
He tries to use his memories of the game to escape his fate, with his daughter.
Tumblr media
He accepts the new engagement, and his daughters new position as sacrifice....gladly.
Yes, he is a dutiful Prime Minister.
He understands that a special girl must be sacrificed for prosperity. He carries her away and he says he will prepare her for that fateful day.
In the original plot he raved like a madman and demanded Natasha's death instead. Even though the Prince had declared otherwise.
He backs away, because he cannot win without power.
Tumblr media
He joins hands with a corrupt priest and the ACTUAL DRAGON!
He promises to entertain Karis, the Dragon, because only he knows the special lore.
The Dragon is bored.
Andrim is able to tempt the Dragon with a new kind of entertainment. It's bored of eating women.
Andrim must commit evil to live.
He goes waaaayyyy too far.
Tumblr media
The Dragon is not the love interest.
It's Jorga the Commander. The adult figure supporting the youthful otome group.
Andrim uses him completely. Not sure how yet but Jorga commits absolute atrocities for Andrim. He betrays the royal family for Andrim, and the palace is filled with torture.
Jorga is the most useful card on the field, and Andrim uses his beauty to "get" him.
Is it genuine love? No, but Jorga is all about loving acts of service.
Tumblr media
The plan rolls into an avalanche slowly.
Andrim gives up his position as Prime Minister. This earns him plenty of sympathy points. He also appoints a young genius on purpose. The boy is not fit to run the government. He uses politics to force the boy into a position he can't handle.
This makes him even more pitiful.
The capable Prime Minister had to abdicate for his daughter, and his replacement is trash...
How awful...
His poor daughter. In the end its not her fault that the Prince's eyes wandered...
Tumblr media
Natasha is a cruel moron and that helps. Her otome team constantly has to cover her ass.
She's going to be a terrible Queen.
Julietta would have been perfect.
Andrim plans to take advantage of that.
Tumblr media
Julietta is sweet but empty.
Andrim vows to make her happier.....after his dirty deeds bear fruit.
Julietta stays in the palace...with Andrim. He uses an old tradition to stay, where he can garner the most sympathy.
Apparently, the story turns into extremely sadistic revenge porn. If you like obsessive dogs with no morals this is your lucky day!
Andrim is not a merciful man. Even with his Japanese memories his ruthless side always prevails.

Why Doll perfectly exemplifies all of the strengths and flaws of Murder Drones as a series.
From the amount of posts present on my blog about the specific individual, it is rather obvious to assume that Doll Yurikova (I'm still convinced the fandom made up this surname) is my favourite character from Murder Drones and you wouldn't be wrong.
She just simply tickles my needy scratch for weird, cool complex villainess characters.
However, eventually I also realised that she more than any other character embodies everything that makes murder drones a great show and everything that detracts the show from being genuinely amazing.
Let's start off with the good, anything I say applies to the both of them:
Tumblr media
Doll/Murder drones are generally cool, unconventionally attractive, have great potential (this point will be elaborated upon) and are very complex in both the themes that they bring to the table and the philosophical standpoints discussed.
Coolness factor is mostly subjective, but I am sure any Murder drones fan will tell you that the sci-fi/horror/mystery/romance/comedy show about sentient cannibalistic robots who fight against eldritch atrocities with Portal 2-esque music is an absolute blast conceptually and visually. In the same way the russian robo vampire who was previously a cheerleader before deciding to commit cannibalism to avenge her dead parents has swarms of fans simping for her.
Unconventionally attractive is determined by unconventional people, said people also have rewatched the show seventeen different times.
Now, regarding the great potential, although I've also elaborated the previous points, this is one that will carry over when discussing the negatives of both the character and the show, but as for positive, you can just feel that Murder Drones is so much different from anything else you have ever watched, it truly gives me haunted Ghibli vibes in the way the story plays out. It could really be amazing. As for Doll, every time I watch her in the show up to her death I just get really sad thinking about what could have been if she had a redemption arc or just a better life in general.
Murder drones has abuse as his main theme and how it circulates into destructive chains and Doll is definitely one of the more interesting examples of said theme, being part of the abused and mauled drone designation that became an abuser herself. I say one of the more interesting examples because her story is fleshed out better than someone else's, say Tessa or Alice.
And now for the negatives, we need to bring out the big elephant in the room:
Tumblr media
The show is only 8 episodes long and they are writing the season one finale in the same way you would write a series finale since making Murder drones costs Glitch a crap ton of money when they could just lower the animation quality and allow the story more time to breathe (mind you this is also Liam Vickers fault). I just hate the 8 episodes 20 minute long formula, it has, in my opinion, destroyed modern show telling and I honestly can't bear it any longer.
Besides that, 8 episodes of 20 minutes means that Doll's arc has to be paced quickly in order to get all the other characters (particularly the main ones) and elements to shine and that unfortunately leads to the fact that both Doll and Murder drones lack the one thing that separates Doll from being a human being and Murder Drones from being an amazing show, and that thing is (drum rolls) the tissue.
To explain, they have the (exo)skeleton, the organs, the mandibles and all the things that would make a piece of fiction feel truly human, but without the connective tissue, the skin, they both end up just short of those standards and as a result I can't confidently say that they are truly evocative individuals. Tissue of course is a metaphor for quote on quote "filler" in regards to the show and "villain at rest" moments in regards to Doll and her arc. And let's talk about the ending of said arc because of its possibility of paralleling the conclusion of the show;
You can say a lot of things about Doll's death but one thing that's impossible to deny is the impact of her death in your mind, everything about its execution is just so brutal that it leaves you a lasting feeling in your body; in a similar manner, the show could end with an absolute gut punch that remains impressed in your mind for months to come.

In the latest chapter Callisto looks so surprised after receiving Penelope’s gift. Despite teasing her, he was not expecting such a thing.
It’s always as if he’s glad to get anything from her. It doesn’t matter what the gift is, as long as he knows she thinks of him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More specifically, Penelope’s gift is a cufflink with healing magic imbedded into the ruby.
She was embarrassed to give him the cufflink because she didn’t know what to give to someone who already had everything; that’s literally her thought process when he opens the box.
Tumblr media
Callisto is a little confused by the healing abilities of the gem, but Penelope says it’s so he won’t complain about her lack of healing magic when he hurts himself next, basically hinting at their conversation in Solael after he rescued her from the lizard monsters (ch.116)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He ends up piercing his ear with the cufflink, using it as an earring instead, because he wants to wear it immediately.
So although he teased her for her gift, it means a lot to him. Callisto likes getting her attention, no matter whatever the circumstances may be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s quite obvious that Callisto enjoys the way she ‘fusses’ over his well-being.
He likes seeing her worry for him, because despite being usually cold in their interactions, Penelope does care, and the way she acts whenever he’s injured is proof of it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Callisto is this way because, as we will learn later on, he truly loves Penelope, she is everything he has. No one’s ever showed care for him like she did, nor did they make him feel like she does. He never gets angry at her for things that would usually spike his temper, but instead he finds her amusing.
Callisto has always had a plan: after ascending the throne, he was going to burn the empire to the ground and start wars upon wars until nothing remained. And yet for Penelope, he didn’t.
He loves her greatly, and even while on the brink of death, Callisto is willing to let Penelope go back to her world because that’s what she wanted. In the side stories he can be defined only as clingy, and it’s such a different look on him than what we’ve seen so far.
Tumblr media
Callisto also mentioned how he thought that his lust and desire were killed on the battlefield by trampling around blood, but this changes when he’s with Penelope.
She is the only thing on his mind, yet Callisto doesn’t seem to mind, it’s the opposite actually.
