how many people have shed blood? How many people have suffocated within the sea?
Rize’s appearance and the imagery of a sea of corpses is actually a direct reference and was foreshadowed by a poem attached to this artwork published in 10/26/2016 over a year ago. The poem is translated here by Michi if you want to read it. [x].
Some of the events in this poem have pretty exact parallels to what happened in canon either around this, precluding this, or paralleling this scene even so I’ll be going over that too.
