Saga of Tanya the Evil II Reaches Its Climax With Episodes 11-12
Zettour's plan to make the war so costly that all sides accept any end reveals that Rudersdorf died not because he was too extreme but because he was not extreme enough, leaving Tanya with a betrayal she did not see coming.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
The final two episodes of Saga of Tanya the Evil II pit Tanya against Mary and Mikel while she carries out a clandestine mission to assassinate Rudersdorf and let Zettour seize power. The season ends with Tanya baffled: Zettour has not ended the war, and Imperial armies are rolling into Idola. Community scores for episode 11 are 4.4, for episode 12 4.5.
Tanya wins the three-way battle of ace mages not by power but by strategy. Mary fights on emotion and talent alone, and Mikel underestimates her, a mistake Tanya invites by behaving like an idiot child and reloading mid-attack until he closes in. Rudersdorf dies still believing the assassination plot was a figment of his own mind, convinced he misjudged Zettour. Tanya is baffled when Zettour does not end the war and Imperial armies roll into Idola.
