The black death still exists today, though is much less prevalent, and with today's knowledge it is very much curable... It still has a relatively high death rate when untreated, but given treatment and taking the necessary precautions it's not something to be overly afraid of

Similar to rabies, but way more contageous

The black fucking death oh shit

Not exactly unexpected though

A pandemic was likely going to come up as conflict and as soon as you here about the death toll it was fairly easy to guess the disease

It's the go-to for a reason, it's the nastiest disease in history. You could buck the trend with Spanish Flu or a novel disease (assuming it's worse than fucking covid), or one of magical origin, but there's more terror you induce with the mention of the black death than there is any other disease.

Very true

Also a magic disease sounds rather unlikely for this series at least this early on

Farma is supposed to have very advanced knowledge for the location so using a famous deadly one he’d know about but with very high risk is a good escalation after a single case of a less catastrophic one to prove his validity was definitely the best case

Next I would assume an unknown magical disease will be introduced which will force him to expand his research facilities will be used

And depending on how far they want to go it needs to be topped off with another plague of unknown origins most likely designed by that bastard who bookended this episode

You'd think they'd soft ball it for season 1 though.... But no, they go directly to the big guns.

True but who would have thought the black death would also be a lich.

This whole episode hits too close to home right now. Falma is preparing everyone for the possible outback of a disease that everyone thought was incurable. The difference is that the leaders actually listen to the expert and let him lead to avoid a potential disaster.

Finally don't forget to watch the post credit sence!

i forgot queen elizabeth died while this was airing

They buried her yesterday next to her late husband. I'm not Britain but I hope the country and their new king are doing well

Not great if you need to head out for a bottle of milk

Or you got arrested for wanting a republic over a monarchy

Or being arrested for a blank sign (yes this really happened)

Their queen is the most likable noble in Anime.

Back on mission 🥷🥷✌️

The queen's forced accent is cringe.

Is it wrong I'm falling for the queen 😍😋

Melromarc's queen is still our favorite QILF

True af 😌

Nah I know what you mean I read the manga first and every now and then when she appeared I was like why the fuck. are you so hot :D

Aye bro cheers 🍻 finnally another one who has great taste 😈🔥

Man their Elizabeth is so hot, while ours is out cold

How can he survived?

nice hair, mint coler ig, but take care of ur skin bro, and dont luagh on stupid reasons, but thx for eliminating the rats, i rlly dont like them, but ofc i would liked if u didnt another way not 2 seem discusting, dont forget 2 throw them cause we all go 2 streats and i hate 2 see died mice all around

so waiting for this

I find the term "Black Death" to be offensive; They should call it something like... "African-American-Passing!"
