A collection of Narsus’ funny faces in Chapter 30
Funny snippet no.1 from the Arslan Drama CD (DVD Vol.4).
Rough translation~.
Daryun: Is it delicious, Your Highness?
Arslan: Yes it is, Daryun. Elam’s cooking is delicious as always.
Daryun: That’s great. Eat as much as you can.
Arslan: Yes. Ah, however, …
Daryun: What’s wrong?
Arslan: I just thought that… we haven’t eaten meat for a while. This soup, for example, don’t you think it would have been even more delicious if it had been with meat?
Daryun: Meat…?
(imaginary voice of Vahriz: I want you to be His Highness’ ally.)
Daryun: I understand!! Please wait a moment, His Highness!!!
Arslan: Daryun!?
Daryun: [goes hunting] Uwooooooooo! Gotcchaaaaaa!!! [comes back] I apologize for the wait, His Highness. Here’s your meat!
Arslan: A wild boar!?
Evolution of Arslan’s character design (1986-2015)
80s (by Yoshitaka Amano)
90s (by Yukiko Kamimura)
00s (by Shinobu Tanno)
10s (by Hiromu Arakawa/Shingo Ogiso)
30 years at a glance:
Which character design do you like most?
I go for the 90s!! =D
( I really wish tumblr had a voting function like twitter…(´;ω;`) )
I have this headcannon that Azrael views Arslan as his chick and he just gives a death glare to almost everyone that comes within 10 feet of his chick. Just imagine Arslan is trying to meet with some important noble or something like that and all the poor noble sees is this huge raptor glaring at him from behind Arslan's back. He acts like a total sweetheart when Arslan is look though XD
I accept this.
Daryun feels 20% more at ease when Azrael is with Arslan
I wonder is Daryun concerned about that Gieve is going to take someone's innocence..? (◡‿◡✿)
Haha, definitely! XD I mean, even in the manga, Daryun is determined to protect Arslan from Gieve…
Snippet no.3 from the Arslan drma cd. Drunk Arslan and Daryun.
Rough translation~.
Narsus: What happened?
Gieve: That’s wine in the bottle.
Daryun: WHAT!!!??
Elam: Your Highness..
Daryun: Are you alright, Your Highness!!?
Farangis: He looks drunk.
Arslan: Daryun!
Daryun: Y-yes!
Arslan: You’ve always protected me. I’m really grateful to you.
Daryun: Y-Your Highness…!
Arslan: However!
Daryun: Y-yes!
Arslan: I’m not a child anymore!! You don’t have to take care of me all the time, I can do almost everything on my own!!
Daryun: Yes…!
Snippet no.2 from the Arslan drama CD. The situation is that Gieve tries to give Arslan lessons as to “how to treat women properly” and overprotective Daryun interrupts their conversation.
Rough translation~.
Daryun: Your Highneeeeeeess!!!
Gieve: What!?
Arslan: Daryun!?
Daryun: Gieve!!!
Gieve: Y-yes?
Daryun: That kind of topic… is too early for His Highness!
Gieve: Huh? Well, when I was the same age as His Highness, I already…
Daryun: It’s too early!!!! That kind of topic… eh, yes, Elam! Yes, you should teach it to Elam!!
Elam: What!?
Daryun: You’re Narsus’ servant, Elam. You need to know a lot of different things in order to be able to follow Narsus’ teachings, am I right!?
Elam: But I-
Daryun: All right, Gieve, you can tell Elam the rest of your story.
Gieve: Okay, I don’t mind either way.
Elam: Wait, but I- I have to watch for fire!
Gieve: It’s okay, Elam-kun. Where should I start telling my story, oh yes, it was when I was traveling in Misr…
Elam: Wait, Lord Daryun, Your Highness Arslan!!?
Daryun: Come over here, Your Highness.
Elam: Hey, you two!!
Gieve: It was my first experience…
Elam: Where are you going!?
Gieve: You know, it was as if a door to a new world opened in front of me…
Elam: It seems like it’s kind of the topic I shouldn’t listen to!!!
Daryun: Here, Your Highness. Please eat.
Arslan: But Daryun, Gieve’s story seems interes-
Daryun: Please eat.
Arslan: Y-yes…
(Just for the record: Elam is younger than Arslan)
Arslan Senki drama CD summary
I’ve finally managed to listen to the drama CD from the Arslan DVD Vol.4!
Summary:
- cast: Arslan, Daryun, Elam, Narsus, Farangis, Gieve (slightly disappointed because no Hirmes, Xandes, Kishward, Alfreed, etc)
- title: “New comrades” (refering to Farangis & Gieve)
- length: about 23 minutes in total
- summary: (very comedic story) Arslan tries to converse with Farangis and Gieve so that the crew can get to know them better, but super-super-overprotective Daryun interrupts their conversation. Sadly, Arslan’s efforts do backfire and everyone is quarreling rather than getting along with each other (actually it’s 99% Daryun’s fault, lol). Then Arslan mistakes the wine for water and gets drunk. He talks to each one of them what he has been thinking about them. (I’m gonna make little snippets of this scene later because it’s hella cute. He’s a true cinnamon roll!). Having said what’s been on his mind, Arslan falls asleep. The next day, he doesn’t remember anything what happened last night, but he notices that for some reason everyone seems to get along better than yesterday :D
- Actually, the alternative title of this drama CD could be “How Arslan won everyone’s heart in one night”.
The Arslan DVD has finally arrived!!!
OMFG, I haven’t managed to listen to the Drama CD yet, but just read the 4koma manga by Arakawa-Sensei and it is so hilarious.
It’s a parody of episode 11, Gieve throws some photos of Arslan toward the crowd of Luthitanian soldiers and then suddenly Daryun shows up out of nowhere and catches all of them XD
Daryun: Uwooooo, Your Highneeeeeess!!!!
Elam: Where did you take those photos?
Gieve: Those are spy photos [taken by me].
Elam: You bastard!

I live for their endless sarcastic jabs at each other.

Daryun: BEAST MODE.
Arslan’s Age
So this has been bothering me ever since the last episode of Arslan Senki aired, and the narrator was saying that Arslan is now 15 years old, because I was certain that at that point in the story, he’s still 14.
And guess what, I FINALLY FOUND THE QUOTE IN THE BOOK THAT ACTUALLY STATES HIS BIRTHDAY. THANK FUCK.
帕爾斯曆三二四年九月二十九日,這一天是國王亞爾斯蘭十八歲的生日,也是他即位三周年紀念日。
《亞爾斯蘭戰記:第八卷 假面兵團》
Translation:
September 29th, Pars Era 324 - this day is King Arslan’s 18th birthday, as well as the third anniversary of his enthronement.
Arslan Senki: Book 8 - The Masked Army
At the conclusion of the battle at Keep of St. Emmanuel, it’s around end of May, which makes Arslan still 14 years old at the time. This also means that Arslan is born in the year of 306, if anyone’s looking for that particular piece of information.
