Talk about throwing shade on Arslan. Even Gieve coming back couldn't stop the avalanche.
>>
>>143964798
Yeah, how dare the prince to command an army to retake the country while his father is in prison?
>>
>>143964798
A guy like that probably either thinks Arslan's moving too slowly, or that Arslan deliberately avoided moving against Ecbatana specifically because he was hoping Andragoras would die in prison or be executed by the Lusitanians.
>>
>>143964798
He's got a bad relationship with Arslan, so it's no surprise he doesn't trust him at the head of a big fortified army with many loyal and very capable retainers.

He's got a bad relationship with everyone at this point. Who would even voluntarily follow him now? If I remember correctly, the reason he got caught in the first place was his brilliant battle strategy of rushing to meet the enemy head on despite numerous warnings.
>>
wasn't the whole point of Andragoras adopting arslan was because he thought that his own family was cursed with corruption and not wanting his "son" to repeat the same shit him his brother and father did (cucking and ploting agianst each other)
>>
>>143965163
Honestly, Andragoras is so gar that it wouldn't surprise me at all if people flocked to his cause, even if he's a douchebag. Since Funi is changing everyone's names, they may as well rename him to Andragaras.

I could have sworn it was a son, not a daughter. Had it been a daughter Andragoras would have no reason to feel threatened by her possibly usurping the throne at some point. Wasn't that, and the fear of his bloodline actually continuing the reason he forced her to give up the child anyway?

Even wanting a male heir having girls are useful political tools. There'd be no reason to throw one away.
>>143967889
Yeah, this is a guy that just broke himself out of prison in the main base of the enemy all while also taking the queen, and apparently her chambermaid. He's also murdered his own family to even be king in the first place. He definitely rules with fear. The only reason daryun even said anything is cause he already doesn't like the king as you see in the first episode. Everyone else is scared they'd probably die on the spot.

Why is he BGM so loud compared to the voices? Is Funi to blame again?

A lot of Arslan's generals will probably defect to Andragoras, but his core party won't. Daryun does have his loyalty to the throne to consider but ultimately he has every reason to support Arslan over Andragoras.
>>
Does anybody else get the feeling that Andragoras was just pissy that Arslan ruined his plans for a glorious reconquest? He probably was envisioning busting out of prison, rounding up his army, then retaking the entire kingdom from the various factions that had invaded it since his capture, maybe even expanding the borders. Would turn his defeat into the most glorious conquest in living memory.

Then not only does he bust out to find Pars more or less intact, if ruled by Lusitanians, but the one who stole his conqueror thunder is his lady boy son. I'd be mad too.
>>

>>
>>143972912

So now Arslan's going to build an invincible Navy and Andragoras is going to continue fucking everything up. Arslan will save him from another retarded decision and the king will be so angry he'll exile Arslan until he creates an invincible medieval airforce for him. A feat that will so impress Andragoras that he'll probably mark Arslan for execution. Why is Andragoras such a fucking retard? The guy threw away his best general at least twice that we know of. How has nobody just poisoned him and been done with it?
>>

In Turkish, "yaşasın" means "long live, hurrah" etc.
>>
>>143978429

Really the only thing keeping Andragoras is power at this point is the fact that Arslan didn't ask for his head. Arslan's too much of a pussy to murder his father even if it is what's best for the kingdom. Nobody really even gives a fuck that he's not royal blood anymore. Half of Peshawar knows. The show he made of praising the guy that set up the ruse was probably to set up the moment when everyone abandons Andragoras for Arslan.

The old OVAs covered this much story. I'm hyped for the new (few) developments to come.
>>
>>143979054
My guess is Daryun, Narsus et.al. will sneak out to accompany Arslan as he gathers a new army to himself. The king meant it to be an impossible task but with Narsus it might just be possible. And if he DID return with 50,000 men at his back he'd make the king look like a total fool, it'd come to a confrontation then and Andragoras wouldn't win.

>>
>>143979205

It'd probably be possible without them. The people love Arslan. Recruiting 50,000 soldiers wouldn't be too big of a task for him alone. Narsus is just going to make sure those 50,000 are the baddest assed soldiers that ever walked the face of the earth and will be 150% loyal to Arslan not the king.
>>
>>143979330
Come to think of it, raising an army of freed slaves would be trivial for Arslan the Liberator. Training them would be the real task.
>>
>>143968584
>There'd be no reason to throw one away.

The Queen couldn't have any more children, so there was only about maybe a day's worth of time to perform a cradle swap, so that Arslan could be passed off as the rightful heir to the Throne.

Not really, he's just paranoid that Arslan is going to usurp him if not by stealing the throne himself, then by having soft control of the army and the people. I mean who do you think the generals are more loyal too? Arslan or Andragorus? After they retook Ecbatana? There was a real chance for the army to stage a coup and depose Andragorus, and if not he'd probably rule at Arslan's pleasure. Andragorus, doesn't want anyone else trying to make a play for his throne.

To be fair, Andragorus is only fucking up Arslan and his plan to liberate slaves. From a simple reconquest standpoint, Andragorus single handedly freeing himself, and the queen, is probably the best thing to happen.

In that situation you normally just get a concubine pregnant until you hit on a boy. Maybe the king likes sleeping with someone who wants to murder him at any chance she gets due to him taking everything from her, and replacing with random kid off the streets. The sad thing is she (rightfully) disdains arslan for it. Poor kid really.

I wonder how long till she cracks and just goes for it. I kind of thought she had a thing for arslain's purity in the first season though. guess no /ss/ chance now.

They mentioned in S1 that the Queen is considered to be an unintentional black widow. Men tend to just fall madly in love with her regardless of whether she returns their affections or not and they seem to be fated to meet unseemly ends. Andragoras is, ironically, incredibly loyal to her despite being the kind of person you'd expect to participate in post-victory orgies.
>>
>>143978429
Daryun swore his loyalty to Arslan personally. He will always be at his side.

There are no ties with the Safavids here. We have an expy to Persia with Pars, another with the Roman/Byzantines, Turan being the Goturks and White Huns, and even the boarders all configured to represent the general territory and boundaries of the Arsacid and Sassanid Empires.

Its not the Safavids.

The geneology, the setting, the location, and everything is painting to ties with the last 1000 years of ancient Iran before Islam, not the Safavids, Qajars, or Buyaids or anything of that sort.

Its not the Safavids.

Maryan is Byzantine. Maryam is literally positioned between two continents paralleling Europe and Asia where Constantinople was founded and built on where the Black Sea and Bosporus Sea meet.
>>
So who wrecks the King once and for all?
>>
>>143993230
Pars = Persia
Sindhura = likely the Kushan empire
Turan = Turan tribes, a steppe people related to the Turks and Huns but who originated in Iran
Lusitania = unclear, the general time period and the fact they are a warlike people who follow a monotheistic religion that permeates their culture strongly suggests they would be semetic, maybe even Hebrews, but their coloration and where they invaded from don't support this and they seem almost like anachronistic western European crusaders.
>>
>>143993918
They're Lusitanians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusitanians
>>
>>143993918
>Turks and Huns but who oringinated in Iran
That's only applicable to the White Huns, who spoke an Iranic language and were described as being Caucasian in appereance unlike the various actual Turkic or Mongolic tribes the Persians and Romans/Byzantines were encountering from the 4th century onwards.

They were almost forever at war with one another.
Maryam is probably a satrapy. Also Lusitanians aren't Arab. They are ethnically "white," while their religion is a combination of Islam and Christianity. Though the Islamic elements are probably more from ignorance, rather than purposeful choice.
>>
Why is history so complicated
>>
>>143994094
The article you link even states "original Turanians", not what became of the region or area which largely was settled by Steppe based Turkics by the point of the Sassanids.

>>143994169
Maryam wasn't a satrapy, it was Not-Byzantine. Also in the real world, Pesians and Byzantines had several long periods of peace with each other.

Lustianians are not white either.
>>
>>143993992
See I knew there was a Lustianian culture in Iberia but I figured it was juts the name that was taken from it since they weren't monotheistic. It's like they copy/pasted a Semetic culture onto a European tribe.

>>143994371
>American education
>>
>>143994169
Maryam is literally a representation of Rome, probably the Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantines like >>143993513 pointed out. Byzantines and Sassanids also traded, interacted, and mutually benefited with each other when not engaged in wars with one another.

And just like how when the Rashidun Caliphate exploded out of Arabia in the name of Islamic conquest which lead to the Byzantines and Persians allying themselves with each other, we see the same thing paralleled with Maryam and Pars being allies against Luistiania who operate the same way as the Arabs do.

But yes Luisitania is an amalgamation of both Christian and Muslim zealotry and fantacism.
>>
>>143994169
>while their religion is a combination of Islam and Christianity
Hardly. In the first place the setting is before either religion was founded. They are more like Ba'al worshipers, or some other Semetic cult prior to the birth of Christ.

>>143995737
She seemed very interested in him in s1 when she showed up. and not just because of the revelation that she was supposed to help him, but as a person. I doubt she's very maternal at all, so it probably came off as possible sexual interest. All things considered though she seems pretty uninterested in sex in general. Probably why she gets so annoyed at gieve trying to get into her pants constantly. I still hope for someone to make an arslan /ss/ doujin where she shows him the ropes though.

Why Andragonas so shit? He ruins the whole episode
>>
>>144000835
Andragoras goes hard.

Things have been going a little too well for Arslan lately so something had to happen to add a little drama.

Whether or not exiling Arslan was the best way to achieve this is debatable but something did need to happen to prevent things getting too dull.

>>
>>144001715
Pars is not a democracy, and by that I mean both the obvious fact that nobody votes and the less-obvious fact that nobody chooses the king. Andragoras is king because he has a right to be king. In some senses, Pars is his property, inherited from his father. If Arslan's generals were to seize the throne for him, it would set a precedent for the next most popular king who offered even more popular reforms. Or a stronger king who could terrify the people more.

You might mention how Andragoras himself stole the throne - and that is very pertinent to this discussion. Andragoras put the legitimacy of the kingship in a very bad place. None of Arslan's generals want to degrade it even further, a desire they balance with their desire to see Arslan become king. Arslan couldn't upset that balance without becoming less of the king they want to follow, there's the dilemma.

And notice how we had the scene of Arslan giving up his entire little kingdom in Peshawar because a big man with a woman in the cart rolled up and asked for it, right next to the scene of the Turan king being killed so that a stronger man could take the throne, and no one making a move to stop it.
>>
>>144000165
How would that give him any additional form of legitimacy toward the throne? Last I checked she wasn't a royal. Arslan also does have a legitimate right to the throne being a crown prince. Even if he's not related by blood. He will even be next in order of succession. Regardless if he's adopted or not, he's the king's only heir.
>>
>>143994224
>Lustianians are not white either.

>>
>>144004344
Okay stormfront.
>>
>>144004344
The other guy already said it, their supposed to be generic expies combining the nature and background of crazy Muslims and Christians in general.

Also Luistiania might be the Portuguese people's ancestors partially but that's a really tenuous connection at best.
>>
>>143994524
They have a holy Text, speaking of One True God, which claims all other deities as false, a direct command to proselytize, and religious doctrine espousing some form of worldly equality amongst believers. While they may lack a prophet, it certainly more than just Ba'al worship.
>>
>>144004476
So they are basically Abrahamic monotheists.
>>
>>143988068
judging by the anime, I'd say LOGH>>>Arslan, but maybe the novels are different, and it's clear this second season is skipping a lot of stuff, even more than the second part of S1.
>>
>>144002290
>And notice how we had the scene of Arslan giving up his entire little kingdom in Peshawar because a big man with a woman in the cart rolled up and asked for it, right next to the scene of the Turan king being killed so that a stronger man could take the throne, and no one making a move to stop it.

Interesting parallels they put there. Arslan gives up the throne out of duty and tries to keep the peace, even going to so far obey his father's orders to enter exile, whereas we have rule by the strongest in Turan.
>>
>>144003216
>Regardless if he's adopted or not, he's the king's only heir.

The succesion laws of Pars are probably strictly blood based, so if it got out Arslan was adopted, his only claim to the throne would be literally force of arms and usurpation. A dangerous path to follow, especially when you want to be a reformer.
>>
>>144004617
LotGH anime is pretty divergent from the novels, anon. And the original OVA series and movie were great, it just never got to get its full steam going due to issues at Artland.

>>144004962
That pretty much how any empire or kingdom was. It isn't even common knowledge that Andragoras usurped the throne, murdered his older brother's family and tried to assassinate his nephew who was the original legitimate heir to crown.

It would just fuel further support for Hermes.
>>

Didn't like this episode. It seemed rushed.

Also Arslan said he was going to kill that faggot, he ran in front and engaged in a duel, got his ass kicked and let him run away, what a way to kill my hype.

Also
>muh Narsus strategies

I GET IT the guy is a god of strategies but JESUS FUCK can Arslan be competent AT LEAST once? Will he ever grow up? He does nothing asides being "kind" and getting his dick sucked for it, fuck this shit man I'm not asking he to transform into a Super Saiyan and kill everyone i'm asking for the guy to put some plans on the table or doing something important.


I'm starting to believe the title is a ruse
>>
>>144007124
Yeah really, Arslan provides nothing to the group except for an illegitimate claim to the throne. They all praise him and gather at his feet, but at the end of the day the only thing he offers as a leader is serve as a just cause. Why is it Arslan's heroic legend when the only heroic thing he does is let other people do heroic things for him?

Were this a different series, Arslan would just be a puppet for Narsus' run at the throne. As it is that's still rather the case, just in a much more benevolent fashion.
>>
>>144007124
Arslan did fine in his duel against the enemy king until his horse slipped which wasn't really his fault.

But yeah Narsus is OP as fuck, I almost wish Arslan was being exiled by himself so only he can make his way back.

I have to say, having Arslan run out of his defensive position, charge into an enemy force that had planned for him to do that, and still win the battle, while having all of that part of Narsus' keikaku was a bit much.

Though to be fair, Arslan almost bit the dust, and he got in way over his head fighting the Steppe king head on, and was only saved by Gieve's timely intervention.

Nothing to do with the Seljuk Turks at all you autist fuck. The time frame in Arslan echoes the Parthians/Sassanid Empire existing along side the Roman/Byzantine Empire. Explicit mention of Kai Khosrow, Persian origin tales, Mithradism (another Iranian religion), Ectabana, and so on paint the picture the opposite of your claims.

Azerbaijani Azeris mixed with Turks which is why most of their language is now Turkish and they are genetically closer related to modern day Turkish Turks. Iranian Azerbaijanis however are closer related to their ancestors which is where Media-Atropatane first developed.

You have no idea what you are talking about, that's like saying blacks and whites are the same race in the UK because both speak English.

Turks are Turkic, its like saying water doesn't make one wet. And my point was with the other anons that two things don't make the Parsians Turkish or Turkic, they are Iranian.

So let's recap:

Arslan's name is Turkish, based off very roughly the legend of Alp Arslan. The motto the Parsians use is Turkish. No one ever denied this but literally everything else in the story directs us to the parallels between the Persians with the Parsians.

It's very common that old epics have characters far stronger than the men of today. Enormous degrees of inequality between men was actually assumed and important to those stories.

Look at Hektor and Achilles from the Iliad, or the title characters of Beowulf and Gilgamesh, or read the Saga of the Volsungs or really any epic poem. For the story being told I think that kind of thing fits nicely, though fifty thousand was obviously a joke.

Yes, it's based on the original Arlsan epic who is Turkish, grew up in Egypt and fought the Christians later, securing his throne. Then the second part of the story he is in a supernatural world. It was a story written by an Iranian.

The anime took the name and the aspect of a boy growing up to take back the throne. Arslan in the anime is more based on Sassanid era and Persian. But there is some Safavid elements. It's a mish mash of many things.
>>
>>144051451

This. It's obvious from the attire, the names and let's be honest: the behavior that they're based on medieval western Europeans.

Also Japan has a thing against the catholic church, it's always shat on in JRPGs.

>>143994426
Byzantines and Sassanids were never allied against the Arabs you idiot. They always fought each other. Learn history.

Lusitania is clearly Christian Western European. The timeline doesn't have to be the same since this is anime. And Lusitania isn't originally a neighbour of Pars like the Arabs would be. Like the Crusaders, they invade a region far away from them.

>>144004476
>>143994524
>>143994169
They're clearly based on Catholics. It's hilarious how much you guys are in denial. This isn't even the first time something catholic was described as bad by Japanese. There are other anime, and especially lots of JRPGs where that's the case.

>>144051619
It's not a corruption, it's called anachronistic. And considering Japan literally doesn't give a shit, they do it all the time in anime, manga, games and other mediums.

>Byzantines and Sassanids were never allied against the Arabs you idiot.
Learn history, you faggot. We literally have Byzantine and Arab and even Persian accounts of Byzo-Persian alliances against the Rashidun Caliphate you dumb fuck.

>>144051451
No, its only loosely based off the legend of Alp Arslan. Literally everything else is textbook Iranian and this is repeatedly enforced and reinforced with references and mentions of Iranian folklore, locations, cities, character names, culture and so on.
>>
>>144052088
What accounts? There is no credible primary source.

To deny that Lusitanians are based on Catholic Europeans is retarded. They have something resembling the cross, their armor is more similar, heck even the names are similar.

You're suffering from heavy cognitive dissonance.

Which ones? You mentionned no names, no sources, nothing. Literally your whole argument is: It happens because I say so.

You have no cognition. Again, you are suffering from dissonance. On one hand this is an anime that you at least kinda enjoy. On the other hand, it paints European Catholics as evil. And maybe because of all the liberal education and recent SJW attitude, you grew sick of being labeled the "evil white male" you now try to see whatever group your ancestors belong to as good in every way. And that there is no way someone will hate on them. Thus you're at an impasse. And now you're doing historical revisionism to lessen the dissonance.

But your bullshit in your mind is your own problem. It's for you to deal with.

Again, you cannot argue that the Lusitanians are not based on European Catholics from the medieval times (the anime is anachronistic). Your position is untenable.

And again, you aren't able to show sources because you're making shit up.

There was no strawman argument. The heuristic was just a honest attempt at helping your sick mind that's been posting a lot of delusional bullsit in every Arslan thread.

Also, it's interesting that you haven't posted 2 posts at the same time. It's clear you're samefagging.

>>144053734
That you're from /pol/. Samefagging doesn't help you. Also you've been posting those posts with the same filenames.

The odds of having the same filename (compromised of random numbers) is akin to zero. If you take any image from this thread and download it, you'll have a different filename than shown. It's an efficient way of finding out crossboarders and what you've been posting before. The fact that you're not aware, also means that you're dumb.

And regardless you both act like crossboarders and are generally thread shitters which is why these threads for Arslan Senki tend to be so barren and empty most of the time, just like last year with the same shit with the one faggot Turkish shitposter shitting up every thread or others calling each other tumblr or /pol/ shit or crossboarders in general.

This is a 2 days old thread and it hasn't even hit bump limit. Let's be honest, Arslan wasn't popular in /a/. They'll be another thread and it won't hate bump limit.

Well Muv Luv threads aren't really popular. Again, Muv Luv is also not airing. Arslan senki (and this was the same thing season 1) was airing and it was getting few posters. It seems to be a little more popular than before on this board but it is still a 2 day old thread. You don't see those often on /a/. They're indicative of threads with not much activity with the same posters who bump them once in a while.

Muv-Luv threads average like 50-70 or 80 different posters depending on if people from /m/ are coming into the threads since Muv-Luv leads to overlap between both boards. Doesn't matter though, they are daily threads that stick around almost every day with multiple ones. It might be a niche fanbase but its an active one.

You can't say the same for Arslan Senki threads between seasons.

Yes, Arslan is more active than Muv Luv which it must be since it has a currently airing anime.

I'm saying Muv Luv is dead and Arslan is not much better.

>You can't say the same for Arslan Senki threads between seasons.

It had another season coming and even with that Arslan threads were much rarer than Muv Luv. And It's not like Arslan will get attention after the last season stops airing.

It's okay, I forgive you.

Its not like the average poster here isn't doing more then contributing more then 1 or 2 posts after all. But we agree that in general Arslan Senki is waaaaaaaaaay less popular then most shows including Muv-Luvs in general.

>>144057871
Muv Luv threads are dead and yet there was more of time in the time between Arslan seasons than Arslan threads.

How are they dead? There are days even when Arslan Senki's first season was airing that no one bothered making a thread for it, episode or no episode aired but you still have multiple daily ones for Muv-Luv.

Gieve isn't as exaggerated or Miroku tier nonsensical in the novels or original manga + OVAs which are based on the former two sources as he is in the Arakawa manga and anime. But again I'll just point out, he wasn't fighting Silver Mask to beat him he was as much taunting and trying to throw him off with distraction to get away with Kai Khosrow's sword.

I'm defending the fact that Arslan did fine in his fight, don't forget we're talking about someone who previously has been shown to barely be capable of handing 1 or 2 nobodies but now decided to 1v1 the enemy king.

I fully expected him to get his shit slapped with ease by the enemy king but he held his own.

If you wanna talk about bad tactical decisions then simply leaving the fortress to fight them in the field just because a few peasants were being executed was a bad call. Arslan didn't know about Narsus' plan so he was just making a hotheaded call that he had no reason to believe would work out.
>>
Reminder that Zandeh is so OP that even though he's barely 19, and Daryun is 27, Daryun was impressed by his strength so much that even when the first time they fought in the novels and the Black Knight put almost half a dozen wounds on Zandeh it was only make Zandeh more berserk.
>>
>>144007124
This is basically the only complaint I have about the show.

I tolerate it because he is actually a competent character when he needs to be, but he rarely needs to be because he's surrounded by top-tier badasses. Narsus said pretty much the same thing at one point or another.

The eloquent gemoetrical patterns are more Safavid than Sassanid or early Semitic. Pic related, that carved aspect of the building has been shown in the show. And considering the anachronistic feature it's not surprising.

Also the clothing is very much Safavid.

>So Christians vs Romans then.

Bullshit. Christians weren't at war with Romans. It was a persecution from one side. There was no Christian empire, state, nation or kingdom until the Byzantine (or Roman) Sassanid war.
>>
>>144067944
First Christian state was Armenia, not the ERE or WRE for one. Secondly, that is factually the first major conflict for Christians besides Jews vs Christian once the schism becomes permanent. Also domed buildings were made famous by those two empires, which is something that Islamic architects heavily borrow from.

It's not in the context of warring nations. A bunch of Christians being persecuted does not mean a war. Wars are not one sided.

Islamic and Safavid architecture is more than domed building you /pol/ historical revisionist retard. That carved aspect is just one of many examples. And considering you're not adressing it, I'll take it that you're conceding.

Nice bullshit but I'm not /pol/ and there are no carved or inscripted/inserted geometric figures in any of the buildings with Parsian architecture in the anime.

There's still a dam in Iran that has been working for over 1800 years from the Sassanid period for example to this very day.

Also, pic related. That geometric pattern on the wall is more what happened in architecture or general art during islamic era. One reason as to why is because Muslims artists were rarely depicting humans and animals to they shifted to something more geometric.

That's not on the exterior which is what most post-Zoroastrian/Islamic Iranian art is known and famed for, which are externally adorned and displayed outside buildings and structures; especially palaces and mausoleums. The smooth surfaces, uniform color scheme of limestone and sanded tops are infamously Arsacid and Sassanid era products.

Also retard about the geometric figures:

>The Sasanian Persians also favored the iwan form, and adopted it into much of their architecture; however, they transformed the function. The Parthian iwan led to other spaces, but its primary function served as a room itself. In contrast, the Sasanian iwan served as a grand entranceway to a larger, more elegant space which was usually domed. Both the Parthian and Sasanian iwans were often elaborately decorated with inscriptions and sculpted reliefs including scenes of hunting, vegetal motifs, abstract, geometric patterns, and animal scenes. The reliefs’ style shows a blend of influences including other Near Eastern cultures, Roman, and Byzantine decorative traditions. or instance, the rock-cut iwan at Taq-i Bustan features Roman style figures, Eastern-inspired vegetal patterns and crenellations, and wide-eyed, stylized Byzantine-esque angels and mosaic interiors.

Its equally famous. No one goes to the Blue Mosque just to go inside of it alone, stupid. The exterior is famous for a reason itself.

What? Its a well known fact knowledge in the West when it comes to Iranian history outside of the Medes and Achaemenids is less prevalent then compared to the East, unless you are some Roman/Byzantine history buff whose obsessed with the Perso-Roman conflicts or rise of Islam.

They're not. Like I said, even western tourist admire the interior more. But your assertion still doesn't even prove your argument. Because your argument is essentially saying it's 100%. All I need to show is that it significantly isn't. And since you're implying there is still popularity about the interior, you're arguing against your own premise. Furthermore, you're doing an appeal to people fallacy. Popularity is irrelevant to objective truth.

>which has a massive influence on Islamic architecture
Domes? Sure. But not much else.

>Its equally famous.
Oh so now it's equally famous? You're not even consistent with your own stupidity. At first one is more popular but now they're equally famous. Do yourself a favor and get whatever you have between your ears checked for cognitive disabilities. And I'm assumign here that you have a cognition...

>in the West
Irrelevant. Japan doesn't make their show for you. Also "here in the X" is just an excuse of your own ignorance. But I don't think poltards like you represent the average Westerner.


>its overwhelmingly pre-Islamic intentionally.

So now you went from fully to a majority stopping short of full. Wow, you're quite the conceding idiot.

Actually, I'm the native speaker here, not you.

>faggot

Oh my what a terriyfying word... (I'm being sarcastic, learn how to insult better. You sound like a child who's trying to roast someone when his parents aren't looking).

>Calling me /pol/ isn't going to help your case here at all

That's your counter argument to the greentext? That's quite dumb. Looks like I hit a nerve.

>poison the well
I'm not. I'm simply making quite the accurate observation.

>your trying
>awful grammar

Either you're completly retarded or you're so stressed by me that you're making such simple grammatical mistakes. I'll be kind and let you choose. Before trying to criticize someone's use of grammar, you should look at how idiotic you are.

>what is Ad Hominem

Considering you don't know what "poisoning the well is" I guess it's not surprising you don't know what you're talking about.

>Also why do I have to talk about my ethnicity?
If you have nothing to hide, say it.

>Are you some kind of buttblasted Turk
Turk is not an ethnicity (no matter how much the Turkish nationalist supremacist want people to believe). It's a nationality. And no I'm not a Turk. I'm Jewish. You know me better as master.

>Of Empires
You said nations and states, nothing about empires. And Rome and Byzantine are not the first in either category.
>Of course
Glad you concede you are an idiot then.
>Like I said
1.) That sounds completely based on antecedent
2.) Prove it
3.) Provide citations for this claim
4.) We both know you're making this up
>Domes? Sure. But not much else.
Wrong. Persian influence goes from roads to dams, arches, minarets, and other factors not simply domes. It was absolutely vital to Islamic art and architecture and the biggest singular influence arguably.
>You're not even consistent
Once again, proving your ESL, I don't even believe you know what consistency means. Keep up with the bullshit strawmans you keep peddling, son.
>cognitive disabilities
This is funny coming from the faggot who can't into grammar and thinks an expy fiction on medieval pre-Islamic Persia is completely Safavid architecture. Kill yourself.
>Irrelevant.
Nope.
>Japan doesn't make their show for you.
Who said they did?
>ignorance
What ignorance, you keep making up weird strawmans and shifting the goal posts on your claims.
>/poltards/
Its not working, honey booboo.

>>144069135
>Actually
You are definitely ESL.
>terriyfying
See.
>parenthesis insertion
More proof honestly.
>I'm not.
You attempted to attack my credibility without actually proving it why it should be disregaded, you ignored the fact that Sassanid and Parthian architecture frequently made heavy use of artwork internally much like their Islamic successor do in the same if not similar fashion and you dare say this?

I don't think so, cockroach.

>you're retarded
>"terriyfying"
>"More spanking for you"
>"but can't do logic"
You definitely are not a native speaker of English. Keep grasping, cockroach.
>more bullshit
Nigger, you aren't fooling anyone with this trivial degree of bullshit ad naseum. Its not working for you.
>Turk is not an ethnicity; I'm Jewish
Whatever you say, Ozmet.
>>
>>144069287
Also say whatever you want but this is a dead thread and sinking fast, Memet, I won't bother checking it.
>>
>>144069287
Took you long enough, retard.

>nothing about empires
You're nitpicking again. Fine, take out empire, my statement in the context of war still applies.

>Glad you concede
You're taking words out of context. There was no concession. It's interesting you're tring to attack me of the same accusations, looks like I really emotionally traumatized you.


>1.) That sounds completely based on antecedent
>2.) Prove it
>3.) Provide citations for this claim

You haven't shown a single source or citation for any of your bullshit. You're a hypocrite. At least I've shown sources.

You're not even able to argue against the argument presented.

>Persian influence
>minarets
Pre-islamic Persian? No. During Islam? Yes.

Dams and arches are not art, they're engineering features.

>proving your ESL
You can't even write a sentence properly. You're projecting. Refusing to reveal your ethnicity is further proof.

>I don't even believe you know what consistency means
I know far more than you, retard. Considering the fact that you haven't been able to make a logically coherent argument, you shouldn't be talked about universal term. Even ESLs know what consistent arguments are (the not retarded kind, unlike you).

>strawman

More logicaly fallacies you're accusing but know nothing about.

>can't into grammar
Speaking of not able to do grammar, you're a prime candidate.

>expy fiction on medieval pre-Islamic Persia is completely Safavid architecture.
Strawman falalcy. I didn't say that.

Cowardice and submission is part of your genes.

>>144069287
Cont. More of your bullshit to refute.

>Nope.
Yes it's irrelevant. You're doing the appeal to popularity, which is a fallacy.

>Who said they did?
So your argument is even dumber. The West doesn't think X doesn't matter then, since this is a show for Japan.

>What ignorance, you keep making up weird strawmans and shifting the goal posts on your claims.

What strawman? I'm assuming the best for your arguments since they are so inconsistent. I'm actually helping your argument not look like complete shit and even given you room to fix them.

But of course idiots like you are too retarded to know of their idiocy.

>Its not working, honey booboo.
You're exactly like the SJWs you hate. Closing your ears and repeating stuff isn't going to change reality. Keep going full denial.

>You are definitely ESL.
Prove it.


>See.
A spelling mistake is much less worse than not knowing when to use the word "your".

Also resorting to grammar nazi level of argument shows you're incapable of making a logical argument.


>More proof honestly.
Nothing wrong with that use of paranthesis.

>You attempted to attack my credibility without actually proving it why it should be disregaded

Oh, I already refuted your "arguments". Calling you out for being from /pol/ is just a nice bonus. It's not necessary to the post, just educating whoever could happen on the thread of your bullshit.

>fact that Sassanid and Parthian architecture frequently made heavy use of artwork internally

Not a fact.
>>
>>144069287
>cockroach
The /pol/ is showing. You're so easily manipulable.

Since a "cockroach" (or Turk if that's what you're implying) is more intelligent than you, you're even less than a amoeba (I'll let you look that up).

>You definitely are not a native speaker of English.
"English native speaker" is the more appropriate and common use. But since I have a better grasp on grammar than you do, as a supposed native speaker, you're really quite the incompetent.

>you aren't fooling anyone
You've been conceding and moving away from your itinial premises. You have been fooling yourself.

>Whatever you say, Ozmet.
It must terrify you that a Jew (this goes without saying) and a Turk (I'm not one but since it traumatizes you so be it) is better than you.
