Random thoughts after re-watching Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 5

This note includes a spoiler.

I watched the Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 5. I watched this series a long time ago, and I liked it, but I forgot most of the story, so before the season 2, I decided to watch again.

It was funny that Tanya never talked what she really wanted to anyone and other people also tried to do what she didn't want them to do. Visha was a very capable assistant that she made the team got up to speed but Tanya really want to make team setup delayed. She even did the same interview with Zuttour and got extra time for trainings. She asked only a short amount of time and Zuttor allowed, but other people didn't believe that a training can be only done in a month. Well, she obviously failed to do expectation management.

She was then tried to do some crazy trainings. At first did 36 hours to avoid bullets from the skys in a plain snow area. Then without taking rest, reaching to a target point at 48 hours. Avalanche even happened and some people were knocked down but she saved them. Somehow, that made them realize they should follow her. Well, it's like a hell training, but I guess in a war, extra rough situations can happen, so her training might be good. And because of that, applicants impressed and followed her. Maybe they underestimated Tanya because well she was a kid, and then she noticed she was tough but at least kind enough to save their lives from avalanche. In the first place, how did she do? Magic? Anyway, she got what didn't want to.

Then Rerugen came to her and gave the order, and they started a war to Davian. Davian somehow didn't have air forces and didn't encrypt communications. Well, encrypting communications sound like in WW2 to me, so may make sense, but no airforce sounded weird even to them. But they were able to exterminate Davian's army and they were able to attack their capital. Before attacking a capital for their buildings, I guess weapon factories, they needed to declare an attack to civilians because of an international law, and she declared it, with her child voice. Well, considering her age, that was natural, but even her subordinates thought she was acting and enemies didn't think that was the real communications.

Anyway, it felt weird that that country didn't have airforces. Maybe some kinds of traps? But we'll see what happens. This might trigger a war against them.


Watched 2nd time.

It was still funny she regretted she didn't make Visha to send pillbox in the Rhine. But she was good to throw a question to Tanya. In the Rhine, Tanya even didn't accept questions and always order. Despite that, she also asked questions or requests something to others like Zuttour or Rerugen. She seemed to have a double standard, or maybe she stopped doing it.

I didn't notice but Tanya's right leg was not flesh anymore and used an artificial one. It was probably gone when she was in the Nordan line so at that time, she really cost her life. Of course she didn't want to avoid the dangerous places like front lines. Well, but somehow, in a war with Dakian, she was more than happy and aggressive to attack to its capital.

She intentionally changed her voice when she declared an attack but when other people said to her that she learned acting, she wasn't really happy. Wasn't she intentional lol
