you made this 100 times creepier than it should be

[@grim1811]

Personally I think this is one of the best scenes in this anime, it show that after thousands of years being called a freak and scolded at by pretty much everyone, he could not develop emotions such as empathy or jealousy cause he never got that close too someone. These emotions of jealousy are all new to him. Just think of being that old and getting yelled at for being the way you were born, then meeting someone and finally developing feelings for them and they go and look at someone as their best friend. He does not know the look of a loved one that is why he is jealous, too him her face is more friendly towards her friend due to being another girl and not being shy. All he learned was how much she cared for him, coming to a conclusion that the look on her face means a thousand times more when it is for him

[@MrDibara]

And now, the look and emotions she shows him are... unbereable. :/ I'm glad he learned better later on.

Elias appeared so mature and sophisticated and reasonable in the beginning. But then as you go through the show, it's revealed just how different from humans he really is. How childish he still is. I mean, he was literally willing to kill a child not just to save Chise, but because he was jealous. Jealous! Of a little girl. Fuck, I love this show.

[@danaepeters6019]

Isn't he really more like a human throughout the show? Don't humans do things like that all the time? He really was just heartless at the beginning of the show. He would've killed some girl just cause, but now he's doing it for a reason, albeit not a good one

[@MajorZeldork]

...no, most normal humans don't kill out of jealousy o.O And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have killed someone just cause. The fact that he didn't feel any remorse about it means he still has a lot of learning to do. The only humans he can relate to in this sense are psychotic humans.

Sacrifices are supposed to lose something to gain something else. Elias wanted Chise to live longer but would not lose anything, their magic may not have that limitation, Chise was ok with dying that way, she was ok with having Elias helping her, but because Elias did not involve her and would have 'sacrificed' Stella for Chise, she was upset. "You were no different" the fairies would have done the same, sacrificed a stranger so the ones precious to them would have survived. They valued what she meant instead of who she was.

Technically the witch implanted the idea on Elias's mind when they went to see the witches. He knew Chise didn't have a long time and this was the only way. For a long time, Elias hasn't been doing anything than just walking like he did in the beginning. Meeting Chise inflicted so many feelings that he hasn't felt before. He loves her and deeply cares about her. He's like a little kid who doesn't want to share something precious that belongs to him which explains why he's jelous of Stella and chooses her for the sacrifice.

All things that could help shape their personality as they get older. I'm not defending anything in the video (don't really know what's goin on) but from your standpoint on this, I could agree with him, just by your statement alone tho. Plus, we can see the chick in the video (not the red head) clearly has some issues goin on that the main girl can't see right now, that he can.

And then he revealed that he did it because he was jealous and I was just fucking baffled for a moment. Even more so because he straight up said it to Chise. For a moment I thought the spell required you to sacrifice someone close to the target of the spell to work but nope, Elias was just being Elias. I absolutely adore him as a character though.

Oh boy, the author of AMB is amazing, At first, Elias is portrayed as a caring, kind-hearted individual who tried to give happiness to a broken soul like chise by providing her with shelter, food knowledge and affection, as well as being protective of her. You'd think that he, an inhuman being, is more compasionate than most humans, but then it turns that he is possessive of Chise and hates that she forms other relationships, and is willing to do something as horrible as sacrificing an innocent girl so he could have Chise all to himself.. I understand why Elias would do this, and i always really liked him as a character, but such an action from someone like him is still schocking

It's not surprising that this happened. As fae Elias & Ruth are fundamentally different from humans. Fae have a differentsense of morality than humans. So sacrificing one human they barely know to save one they care about just makes sense to them. It also doesn't help that Elias is still trying to figure out what some emotions are & what they mean. Not saying they don't understand if something is wrong but it's important to remember they're both not human & desperate.

[@livingq5136]

that punch... he deserved that. he was controlled by his jealousy and selfishness. He didnt consider much of Chise’s choices so ofcourse she got mad. But then again he doesn’t know well enough about his feelings. He had still yet to learn. But neither can we blame Chise for getting mad. It was her future to decide and both Stella and Elias are precious to her.

[@MrOrcshaman]

Elias is still struggling with understanding human emotion and rationality, instead of talking to Chise about his feelings regarding Stella, he instead opted for this, not understanding how it would make Chise feel. What makes this so interesting is to consider how far Elias has already come, but how far he has yet to go, human concepts like not giving into jealousy, or greed or malice, are concepts we teach children, but concepts he has yet to fully understand. It makes it clear he isn't human, but at the same time, has some human in him allowing him to slowly learn these concepts.

I honestly don't understand why people are trying to defend him. He got taught would envy was and I'm pretty sure he has enough of an understanding of morality to know that what he was doing wasn't good. Plus, he didn't know the Stella was possessed and he definitely knew that chise would rather die than have someone be sacrificed for her.

[@TalesOfGod]

Still Cleaning Up Your Shit People are defending him precisely because they understand him and people are upset as they think that he is just doing it out of envy (he's not). Stella is a threat, a relative stranger, Chise needs a sacrifice and he doesn't like her. The idea of morality that one person's life is more important than another is false, regardless of age or gender as it is all selfish in the end. Killing a 10 year old to save another life has nothing to do with morality as they are both lives in the end with the same amount of value. As for Chise hating it, of course she does but he is willing to do it so that she can stay alive.

My heart is breaking 😭 How can they ever return to what they were together after this. I thought Elias had actually made progress and started to learn Chise's feelings and what she wants/doesn't want. But no, I was too optimistic and hopeful. We saw in that jealous-episode, that Elias is very possessive over Chise and can't stand anyone else with her. Chise tried to teach him how he can't envy like that but well.. we did see that Elias still didn't accept it and only let go of Chise when she tried to hurt herself. (And didn't understand Chise was angry there though she was yelling and other stuff, so maybe he still hasn't learned anything but about loneliness) But still he should have known that you don't hurt the ones your loved ones care for. And Ruth should have immediately known not to do anything to Stella!! I can't believe how they both were so blinded and forgot how Chise feels. I could accept it if they had taken some totally random guy or someone who is already dying, thinking he doesn't matter like Stella matters (ofc Chise still wouldn't accept it). It's like, is Cartaphilus behind this? Did he made those two foolish like that? Messed with their minds? Maybe that witch magically planted an idea in Elias' mind that he has to sacrifice Stella and then Elias planted it in Ruth's mind or something.

nah its called be blinded by "love" realise how i put it in quotation cause i need a new word to define their affection lmao

[@katotheflareon6154]

I feel as though the writer is doing this to make people understand each other better, in a sense. By watching the anime, you can see that sometimes people are blinded by love and so some complicated events happen. A relationship has fights and such like what’s been happening in the anime/manga. It’s kinda like... a progression of understanding.

[@asiahyman5740]

Also, Marielle the witch gave him a note that said the only thing that can replace a life is another life back at the witch gathering they went to.

[@thegrinningreaper8016]

Well Joseph wanted to make them get into a fight so Chise would accept his deal, so he played innocent as Stella to make what Elias was doing even worse.

[@Aurilion44]

Fae are different from humans. Caprcious and possesive. Elias is also very new to the hole emotion things. Him and Ruth were just going at it fae ways, sacrificing one life for another is fundamental in nature and between Chise and Stella it's clear who they value more.

I get so emotional with this serie!

[@RekEStore32]

1:21 *Facepalm* That is not something 'I'm sorry' can fix! He tried to kill a little girl (before knowing what she really was) just because he did not like that she got more attention from Chise!

[@thewillowtree727]

@DarkSonic180 yes you can. Sure he hasn't dealt with emotions before but, he has been shown before to be able to talk about what he's feeling, so he could have easily told Chise and they could have figured it out. Also, he should have known by now about Chise's aversion to killing and how she wouldn't have been happy if they sacrificed Stella for her own life. And the fact that they are sacrificing someone, let alone a child. Children have been shown to be held in higher regard, along with elders, for being the future and he would have learnt all about children and their importance by then.

[@thewillowtree727]

@DarkSonic180 I'm not sure I understand what you mean, please explain.

[@metaprocrastinator3005]

@J purple ramen I mean, when you are an almighty being that interacts with magic, I'm sure it can be. It is natural to use the lives of other beings as stepping stones, and we do that too, we just don't apply it to humans (or we say we don't) .so I can kind of see his logic. after all we don't really have information of him living in a social Corp and adapting, he was just babysitted by a random figure and apparently lived in a nomade style avoiding interaction with people. He just has enough connections to survive and maintains and isolated life style. Moral is primarily a cultural thing, and is kind of hard to inherit a good enough feel of that under the mentioned conditions. Evidently knowing chize and bonding with her was an improvement, but even with that into account you still can't apply moral in the same way you would do to a regular person.

[@Evilriku13]

also he only said "sorry", the not so formal way of it instead of saying "gomenasai" which is the more respectable form of it, which comes across as "sorry I ate your cake" instead of "sorry I hurt you and what u cared about deeply"

[@marleyroache5018]

I mean like what did he think was gonna happen when she found out about Stella. Like yes Elias I still love you after you tried to kill my literal best friend like wtf

[@ChaoticUrges]

I'm still mad this happened. I hate when Elias and Chise fight. He's always misunderstood.

[@brendancoulter5761]

Actually he was fully understood in this instance. The miscommunication is incredibly minor, Elias was going to sacrifice one of her friends to save her out selfish pragmatism and jealousy. There is no miscommunication there. There is no miscommunication, that is what he was going to do.

[@kyawthu755]

I heard a crack there Was it his skull Or her knuckles?

Anyone else surprised that the spellbook with which Elias was planning to sacrifice Stella would end up being the central plot device in season 2?
