I'd gotten behind on this, and finally got caught up. Wow. Okay, so, some crazy hypotheses here . . .
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: There was that flashback of Maria telling Saki "I'll protect you." I want that to be important in the end. My husband thinks that Saki is the one who will have to defeat the Ogre. If so, I'm wondering if her past connection to Maria is somehow going to help her. How? That I don't know.
Also, is it possible that this Ogre is not actually an Ogre in the traditional sense? If it is acting violently because of orders from the Monster Rats, is that the same thing as being psychotic, or whatever the case is with the normal Ogres? Maybe there will be a way of containing it or controlling it because of its unusual background . . . maybe it would obey orders from a Monster Rat that was loyal to humans, for instance.
My earlier prediction is that this show as going to be about Saki coming to terms with and accepting the harsh rules of her society. Now I'm not so sure about that. We keep getting reminders about how awful her society really is. Maybe she will end up changing things. I just don't know. In any case, it's going to be tough waiting for the next episode to come out!
