I think the best way to experience Oz and Ozma's relationship is from Chaos route to Neutral route to Lawful route because it feels like you progressively dig into the layers of their relationship
Chaos route presents their relationship as a codependent one though mostly on Oz's part. He seems to cherish and idealize Ozma.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He goes as far as to project his feelings on Denam and Catiua, openly comparing himself to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And boy, does he project.
However Ozma appears strict and shuts him down. Still the route portrays a fun complicity between them as they seem to enjoy teasing Denam (about the torture his father endured).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
During Neutral route, Oz is slain in Boed Fortress, early in Chapter 3. Ozma takes the role of the mourning sister, and, in turn, her feelings for Oz are put in the spotlight. And it's clear that this codependy is mutual when Ozma considers them to be two halves of the same soul.
Tumblr media
Now it's Ozma's turn to draw a comparison between their relationship and Denam's and Catiua's. But unlike Oz, it's no jest and while she likens herself to Catiua, it's only to differentiate their feelings and emphasize that her love for Oz and the grief she feels after his passing is beyond comparison.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ozma's behaviour is self-sacrificial, borders suicidal even. Usually driven by duty, the reason she defends Phidoc castle in Neutral route isn't because she's ordered to so that Lanselot may escape. She's staying behind to face her brother's murderer and avenge him, and she intends to die doing so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ozma can't consider the possibility of living without Oz. In hindsight, the differences in their death quotes on chaos route already hinted toward this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She thinks only of reuniting with Oz in death whereas he is stricken by grief, but immediately looks forward to celebrating the death of her killer. This leads me to think Oz could go on living without her (albeit not without heartbreak).
Now Lawful route subverts our expectations and gives their relationship a complicated twist. We learn of Ozma's former betrothal to her current fiancé's brother whom she believes died in prison after assassinating their father, but is in fact alive (and innocent). We also learn that Oz knew all along and worked alongside Balxephon to hide this from her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His apparent dedication to Ozma, as it's depicted on Chaos route, now appears rather superficial if he's willing to plot against her like this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More so, Oz seems to resent Ozma for the love she bestowed onto Hobyrim and the passion with which she fought to have him saved. In contrast, he doesn't seem to mind her current arranged betrothal to Balxephon (most likely because he respects Balxephon and knows Ozma's heart isn't in it). He's both controlling and punishing her.
Tumblr media
Lawful route also gives us a timeline in which Ozma's trust and confidence in her brother are shattered by the realization he was in cahoots with her fiancé who lied and used her.
Tumblr media
Throughout chapter 4, Ozma struggles with the pain this betrayal has inflicted on her and with the persistent love she feels for him still. After all he's done, her Chapter 4 death quote expresses relief that she may see him again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CODA Episode 4 develops this facet of their relationship further. Although Ozma confronts her feelings about her fellow commanders, Balxephon's and Lanselot's betrayal, and above all Oz's, she hopes to see her brother change his ways and live a long life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the other hand, Oz reveals just how depraved his feelings toward her actually are. He relishes the opportunity to see her in pain and unashamedly admits to it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the end, I don't think Ozma ever fully understood her own twin brother. She turned a blind eye to so much of what he did and so much of who he was. She thought of him as half of her soul and still showed she knew so little of that soul. There is a real tragedy behind it.
To discover their bond in order of Chaos - Neutral - Lawful is to be given one side, then the other, and to see the superficial before gaining some thorough understanding of how different these two are, and how different their love for one another is.
Personally I first play through Lawful then Neutral and finally Chaos, but I like to reflect on their relationship from this perspective nonetheless.

I'm surprised to find out CODA's script wasn't left unchanged for Tactics Ogre Reborn. The exchange between Vyce and Oz in Golyat differs a great deal from one version to the other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The start of the exchange is the same in both version: Vyce is distraught by the sight of slaughtered civilians and Oz taunts him leading Vyce to counter drily.
However the follow-up is different.
PSP script
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ozma - "Oz! Enough of this mummery. One day you'll challenge a greater fool than yourself and pay the price."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Oz closes the exchange with "I daresay the lout wants me to kill him! Who am I to deny him?"
REBORN script:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So first of all, while I did like the wording of Vyce's original jab "Your sister has all the wisdom in the family, it seems. And pretty much everything else worth having." I'm not disappointed to see him direct some ire at Ozma who hasn't done enough to make up for her actions in Golyat (and in Vyce's eyes probably never will). It suits him not to spare her. It also becomes yet another moment Vyce uses canine vocabulary to his advantage and to target his enemy (which Reborn already added some fuel to) so all in all, it's an interesting re-write.
I also like Oz's "Bloodthirst? Nothing so crude." (Ah the refinement of torture!) but his former line always felt like he was poking fun at some of his colleagues and I liked that. The line reads like a parody of Balxephon's more dramatic lines and even as if it's meant to mock Volaq's patriotism... I do miss this little hint of humour.

so why did the dark knights feel comfortable in ruining hobyrim's life and tricking ozma? particularly oz? how did he benefit from that?
The Dark Knights mostly do not like one another and entertain very different dynamics among themselves that vary between liking each other to actively plotting each other's downfall. They make want to make a chart of the interpersonal drama going on between them because they are creating so many problems for one another on purpose and I love that about them. The way they're written as fearsome yet imperfect antagonists is just so good.
We don't have a clear timeline of the events that happened in Lodis before the game started but it's clear Hobyrim's trial took place before the current order of Dark Knights as we know them was formed and not all current members were a part of it then. Ultimately most of them don't know Hobyrim and don't know how dirty he was done nor do they care to find out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you face Volaq during Ozma's recruitment stage, the two speak as if they've never met before. And I have a feeling Volaq must have joined the order before Martym, Barbas or Andoras did.
Barbas and Martym's understanding of the situation seems limited as well and they don't seem bothered to shine some truth on it so I get the feeling they never met Hobyrim either. They never interact with him at any point either but that doesn't necessarily mean much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(featuring Martym's most eloquent quotes)
We don't know Andoras' input on the whole matter nor if he ever met Hobyrim (likely not) but I assume he's silently playing 5d chess seeing this drama unfold in order to figure out if he can exploit it to get back at the Dark Knights, House Moh Glacius, and Lodis as a whole. He pretty much hates Ozma anyway though I don't imagine he cares much for Balxephon either.
As for Oz, his love for Ozma is peculiar to say the least and he's not past hurting her. There is a great complicity between Balxephon and him and it's safe to assume he isn't bothered by this for two reasons: he agrees with Lanselot and Balxephon's design for Lodis and doesn't take issue with the controversial way they might go about it (Oz's moral compass is completely broken anyway) as he most likely favors diminishing the influence of the senate and boosting Loslorien's, and on a more personal level, he doesn't mind hurting Ozma a little bit. In fact, he seems to resent her a little for her genuine affection toward Hobyrim. There is an air of bitterness toward the both of them when he speaks about how much Ozma fought to have Hobyrim tried as innocent and how he threw all that away regardless of her effort.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
TBH the only Dark Knight who has cause to side with Ozma is Volaq. He claims to be loyal to Lodis above all else. Not Lanselot, but Lodis specifically. He too is being deceived yet he completely brushes over it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ozma tries to discuss the matter with him twice and both times he shuts her down completely.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(and when she presses him further he threatends to have her brought back in chains, he's mastered the art of debating clearly)
As most matters relating to Volaq, he remains ambiguous and as neutral as possible. Choosing a moral stance and sticking with it isn't exactly his forte.

The choice to make torture-enthusiast violence-loving Dark Knight Oz Moh Glacius parrot Lanselot’s tirade hits just right.
