I haven't watched with subs yet, but wasn't the scene where Ise hugged Asia due to his thoughts of Raynare and what she did to them, and he was just reiterating that he'll always protect her?

Tannin was pretty much what I thought Grendel would look like too, though I originally thought they were both like normal dragons.

I do like Arthur's look, I didn't expect him to look really muscular like Sairaorg. But of course, it was a split-second in the OP, he could look a bit different in the actual episodes.
