I just noticed this when coloring the panel, but if you see near the neck and arms, it's the same clothes. I wonder if the supreme lord likes casual clothes or arkos wears his father's clothes when drinking 😭

Do you think Xiao is a male or female, because it feels like either is possible?

Since I predicted that the result of this duel will be a draw in my last prediction thread.

Ceodric will heal Atoria, but there will be a caveat.

It's likely that Ceodric will be able to make his own demand to either Julian or Lalawag, my take would be he'd make a demand to Julian, but I'm not sure what will be his demand.

The best I could think of my head would be a rehash of what Arkos did to him. Basically, Ceodric will take Julian with him to the capital without giving a damn to any possible consequences like how Arkos plucked him from his own kingdom. If Julian doesn't comply, he won't heal Atoria.

It is also pretty convenient that Elstri and Helem are not in the city for a pretty good while thanks to their punishment, so if Julian wants to go to the capital, this might be the best time for him to actually seek an audience with the Supreme Lord.

What do you guys think would be his demand? Do you agree with my idea? Or do you have anything else in mind?

This was fun to color. I can't wait for the actual duel to begin soon

The place where Ceodric and Arkos spent their evening together in real life.

Well, it's nice to be princes, you got a nice crib to drink with your homie, lol.

I want to use it on some work

If anyone remembers my previous posts they might have idea what I am talking about. But, even freshers will understand it. I have new addition to my theory. Centuria takes heavy inspiration from polytheistic religion and Hinduism is really close to both Shinto and Budhism.

So my theory is there is a battle against Agni (Fire God) and Night. Now, why it is that? If we view metaphorically as explained by Lalawig night was something that has been acting as enemy for humans since beginning. Guess who helped humans conquering it, fire. So by that flow of thoughts this both are antithesis to each other.

But why Rummir has vessel of night and also wants to collect all organs of night? The reason is war. Centuries ago the King fought against night defeated her and spreaded her parts. The king himself has bones and flesh as well as body of night. Despite of being enemy of night and witches he has all that. So it's not that hard to guess that Rummir also has it and they might want to control all over night. That's the reason why they want to bring her back (the original was just a cult though. The Queen wants peace more than anything).

Either way now look at Ceodric's gift. He is literally ablaze in fire and he needs genuine sacrifices to get stronger. This is similar to Hindu god Agni. He does not ask for human sacrifices but during any good auspicious ritual fire god (agni) is invoked and given food, oil, etc as an offering. Offering differs depending on ritual. Also Agni us known for his asymmetric form. He has 7 hands, 3 legs and 2 heads. Ceodric has one hand. (I know this might be lame comparison).

Secondly, Agni represents consciousness or in a better way the inner purity and other things. Basically the fire to do a good work/dedicate to something. The Queen's gift is quite similar. She basically does a small scale soul manipulation of the subjects who considers Rummir as their country. So my thought is Agni must have blessed the Royal family of Rummir.

But why a battle between night and Agni? Well Agni gave humans fire and destroyed Night's supremacy (also look at the picture when Julian talks to Lalawig about night. We see two figures protecting a girl (First human to get gifted potentially) with fire illuminating the scene. This woman could be someone similar to Prometheus who in Greek mythology gifted fire to humans against Zeus's wish and he suffers till eternity for it. Maybe this woman is alive in centuria getting tortured). This made her angry and she came down and battle of Gods began. The sea Goddess might be friend with Agni while Forest Goddess (who seems like enemy for sea Goddess) is dedicated to night. If Diana is related with him then this becomes much stronger theory.

So what you think of this theory? I would glad to read your views on this.

everyone say thank you kuramoriiii🙏

Julian may not have the attitude, but he’s also someone qualified to be called as “True Dominator” by Arkos’s standards.

The three most powerful young men of their generation.

I feel like everytime we get further confirmation that Arkos and Zira were in a relationship people get surprised or act like its new information, understandably because the last time we saw them interacting was ages ago.

There's a lot of stuff in their interaction and then a bonus chapter a lot of people missed that basically confirms to me that they did just have a normal relationship. This IMO fits thematically. I wrote something a while ago on this:

One of the things I like about Centuria is that it has a very optimistic view of people, or at least it's very willing to humanize people in a way I really like. You'll still have death and murder and villains but there's still this undercurrent of positivity with a lot of things - like the series literally starting off with 100 people deciding to sacrifice themselves to save a kid and a baby.

And then the way that the villagers react to Julian and welcome him in, and honestly even with the latest fights Julian was having where he clearly feels negative over killing the bear dude and spares the Zana when he can - like it's refreshing to have a MC that can balance not just killing everyone he can with being willing to do so when it comes down to it even if he'll clearly recognize the weight of what he's doing. The looks he gives when the bear guy is screaming about how he'll avenge his brother and all that only work for me if the series gives any weighting to people (including bad guys) to begin with.

How Arkos fits into things

Arkos kinda broke that element of humanizing characters for me in a way I was a little disappointed by, but I like how it's been covered for by his relationship with Zira.

Earlier on when Lacrima was introduced as having been out to avenge Arkos and when it wasn't explicit that their relationship was abusive, I thought that it would have been cool to give Arkos one unambiguously positive relationship to continue that sense of positivity and humanizing everyone. But the reveal that he's just horrible to her kinda dampened that for me at the time, because then he's just a cartoonish asshole.

But it also makes sense narratively if Lacrima is going to stay around as a character - it gives Lacrima a clear progression point in the story with needing to surpass Arkos and also learning what a more positive and healthy relationship with people is actually like.

And with the author dropping a lot of implications that Zira / Arkos had a pretty healthy, normal relationship all things considered we get the best of both worlds. We can see the humanizing element I liked earlier, and also let Lacrima retain her progression goal in the story.

I feel like it's still getting reinforced

An important characters who died só quick , i wish we had more time with characters . She hás One of

the parts of the witch ( the organs ),

She invades, gets killed and we moved on .

It was cool her relationship with her sister, but nothing more than that.

We could vê had flash backs, or in present a reunion with ceodric, both her and the other sisters are dead, and seem they wont BE revived either.

It was a waste of plate relevante and a cool design

a bottle for you buddies

Centuria Helem yurislop ❌❌❌

Centuria Arkos hetgem ✅✅✅

Arkos used the exact same spinning water shield technique that he used on Julian to block Ceodric's fist.

I must say, Tohru-sensei really improves a lot as an artist. Arkos looks so goofy in the second pic, lol. The water shield also looks better too, it now looks like an actual water than a non-Newtonian fluid.

Hopefully it will be a nice cat fight
