For those wondering, both of them were saved in some fashion. Alice got saved by someone with the twin Astral steel swords, and it is implied it was Iska's master. As for Iska, he remembered being saved by an astral mage with ice powers. The LN confirms this. So the anime is following the book. At least in this instance.
This is one of my favorite animes ever but this part is so stupid. There is absolutely no explanation to what the hell is going on or if this is even real and not just a dream
Hmmm, Iska is with his master so maybe they’re traveling around the world training, and one of the places they’re traveling to is a neutral city so that would explain why Alice is there
He literally talks about how he started recalling past memories because he’s been using the astral swords given by his master right after, ur argument makes no sense how about actually paying attention instead of making stuff up kid 💀
