Talk:Arius Sabaramond/@comment-3218221-20200813213803

Though I personally had been holding off on creating a page for Sabaramond, it's probably fitting to make his article the 100th article on the Wiki. His name is quite the plot tease at the time of article creation (post-Chapter 52).

Since we technically do not know if Sabaramond is alive still (however likely the case may be, given the Bastard Children and the implications of Chapter 52), I've removed the 'over a century old' speculation from his age for the time being.

I am considering making a list of the 'Sabaramond' name-drops (quote, context, source) and adding them to the article for practical purposes, since as a character he exists more through name drops than actual appearances (and his one appearance is in a flashback) at this point. Alternatively, I can edit this comment with a list of name-drops and then see if the information can be textually summarized (i.e. naturally, non-awkwardly) in the Bastard Children section.

Edit: To clarify, I mostly mean 'name-drops' as in when his name is dropped, rather being actively discussed. Instances when he is being discussed can be summarized; recording every individual use of his name in a discussion would be redundant.

Name-drops

 * "[Easlies'] substantial skill with magic was recognized as second only to the head of the imperial court sorcerers 'Shiranui Sky Tower' Arius Sabaramond..." —Volume 3, Episode 3:
 * Fire-Breathing Bug to Corpse God: "Is this...Polka...Shinoyama? [...] Are you also...a bastard child of Sabaramond?" —Volume 4, Chapter 31
 * Corpse God: "What do you mean by 'a bastard child of Sabaramond'? Is Sabaramond-san on this side?" —Volume 4, Chapter 32
 * Higuro, on the phone about Agakura business: "Understood. Yes. Uh-huh. We'll take the same precautions we did five yeas ago...when it was Hosorogi. All under the protection of Sabaramond." —Volume 5, Chapter 35
 * Volume 5, Chapter 36: Sabaramond flashback; Corpse God explaining who Sabaramond was to his friends. Question raised as to whether the BCoS group is related to the Empire somehow.
 * Higuro via cell phone, while kidnapping Takumi Kuruya: "...Hey. ...I'm sorry. There was a slight hiccup. I'll give you my report later. Under the protection of Sabaramond...there can be no failure." —Volume 5, Chapter 43.
 * Higuro calling Habaki to report Misaki Sakimiya's defiance of nature: "I'm very sorry...but I have some information that's top priority. It's related to 'the protection of Sabaramond.'" —Chapter 49
 * Habaki in response to Tsubaki Iwanome's questioning the above conversation: "...Sabaramond is the code name of the information channel I've hired. And it's just pure coincidence that they share the same last name of Higuro." —Chapter 50
 * Since Grocer wiretapped Habaki's phone and knows this conversation took place, he presumably directly heard Sabaramond's name being invoked.
 * Habaki, later: "W-wait, Sabarmond really is the name of my information channel." He is soon accused by Fire-Breathing Bug(s) of being a bastard child.
