In the scene where tabaitha is about to be drugged because of the fight over the throne thing, her mother takes the glass away from her and drinks it instead. Why did she do this? Why not just take the glass away from her and get rid of it? wtf..

That is an example of poor writing.

That one scene is but one of many, many faults of the series.

It had to do with etiquette. Remember nobody around them knew it was poison. If she had spilled it, it would have been a major disrespect and she'd have to say "He was trying to poison my daughter." Which would have been even bolder without any real evidence. Drinking it would have seemed strange, but could be explained more easily.

The intricacies of this modern work of art is all lost on you plebeians. Tabitha's mother made the sacrifice so that her daughter could be safer. With both parents taken out the influence and power of her family was greatly diminished so Tabitha became less of a threat and a priority. Not only that but she also made it known to the world that they were being targeted and not safe.

This.

I thought the MAL community were smarter than this.

So she wanted to maintain her status over saving both their lives?

Heh. Rich people. I'm glad I'm a plebeian.

Granted, the threat probably wouldn't have stopped if she had dumped the drink, but the only way to know for sure is if they actually played it out.

^ Well in that regard I guess she weighed the options in the brief moment she had and chose the alternate option. Even though it did lead to her suffering physical trauma, it did take the attention off of Tabitha for a long time. So I guess from her point of view it was warranted, even though looking at it from an outside PoV it may seem like an unnecessary sacrifice.

I won't blame author for that because it just anime original script.

On the topic of the plane thing. I mean, the only thing between him and the plane was a fence. All he'd have to do is run to the plane before the soldiers did. And remember that his rune gives him the knowledge to use any weapon, so getting it to work wouldn't be a problem (and I know, this may be a bit of a stretch, it was a far fetched scene. But in all honesty, it was just a fence).

Too bad it wasn't electrified. Would have taken the story in an interesting new direction.

Wouldn't they just point their guns at him if he made a run for it?

EDIT: Yeah I messed up. In the books he has super speed and reflexes. They do sorta show this in the end of season 2.

But that's only when he's actually wielding a weapon. All bets are off if he's unarmed.

Edit: Oh so it's different in the books? Fuck.

That anime sucked, so why worry about just one part of it that didn't make sense?
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

The anime started sucking after season 2. Seasons 3 and 4 are basically fan service seasons. Seasons 1 and 2 are the only ones with actual plot and character development, but then again I'm typing this 3+ years after originally watching the first 2 seasons so I could be wrong.
