If you have ever been frustrated with video games, you will know what a great experience the suffering game can be. The game’s characters are all wonderfully developed and fun to play. Taako makes people laugh, Magnus turns into an invisible friend, and Merle charms the crowd. There are even more characters to discover as you progress. Here are some of my favorite characters:
Table of Contents
Animus Bell
The Animus Bell is a magical object that enables players to remove the soul of another person from their body. This bell can also replace another person’s soul. Its powers are vague, but it is believed to have supernatural properties. Griffin planned to use it to save Magnus from the Astral Plane, but Taako’s presence helped him save Magnus and his soul. The Animus Bell has become the symbol of the game, and the adventurers must use it to get back his soul.
Edward
The first episode of the second season, “Edward and the Suffering Game,” has you battling the evil umbra staff and retrieving Lydia’s Animus Bell. You will also encounter a new enemy known as the Slayer, who has sabers for legs and arms. This monster is voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan. When you defeat Blackmore, you’ll discover the Animus Bell, which is vital for you to continue the game.
The Red Robe
In the Suffering Game arc, episode 57 revealed that Barry Bluejeans is the Red Robe. This villain comes from another universe and travels between universes using a silvery ship. Griffin went back to the episode and made sure Barry Bluejeans’ voice was right. The next episode of the series continues with a new arc that will introduce the Red Robes and the adventure they are on.
The first arc of “The Suffering Game” is a fun one, filled with bright colors, rad tunes, life-altering sacrifices, and a great cast of characters. It’s also very clear, which will appeal to people of any age. However, newcomers may find it hard to get into the second arc after watching the first ten episodes. The game will have to be played a few times to fully appreciate its underlying themes.
After the Reveal, Lucretia’s relationship with the boys changes drastically. Having wiped the Red Robe’s memories and telling Merle about her horrible decision, Lucretia is finally able to convince Merle to stop the war and make a new start. This decision is hammered home in Episode 66. The Suffering Game has an underlying message, and players must be prepared to face it head-on.
