So - this is complex. I feel like there is a mixture of feelings from Gilbert's side. Some are paternal - or I guess better word would be like guardian? I don't think he thought of having a daughter, so when task of "taking care of her" (that wasn't a task given to him, that was a task he given himself) came so abruptly into his life he didn't exactly feel like a father - he felt like he had to protect her, but also think of her future. On the battlefield there are 2 kinds of Hierarchies on the other hand. One would be chain of command - and Gilbert here is clearly superior officer. But Violet is sort of outside of chain of command, so he hates giving her orders, which is why the other kind of relationship is strengthened. The type I'd call "brothers in arms" if one of them wasn't a "sister" ;) Joking aside this relationship is mostly that of equal level and absolute mutual trust. Other person is defending one side, while you defend other side. You leave yourself fully vulnerable to attack from that side that your partner covers. So you need absolute trust. That is where romantic (or other kinds of "equal love", but not sexual) might come in - regardless of age, because you already treat yourself like equals - after all your life is constantly in other person's hands and their's is in yours. IDK if their relationship is romantic or platonic or familial or whatever. To me it looks like when Gilbert was saying: "Violet. From the bottom of my heart - I love you!", he was expressing regret that she was suffering because of him, he was thanking her for being with him but most importantly he was saying: "I wish I could be with you always, but circumstances are such that it won't happen so I hope you will be safe and while this hurts me I hope you will be able to forget about me and move on with your life."

2023-05-05 05:45:54 +0000 UTCAs you know, there are some significant plot differences between the light novel original and the anime/movie (I am not getting into the specifics lest I give away the story). I tend to view the anime/movie version as a substantially separate universe from the light novel. Because of this, I am happy to allow both the light novel and anime/movie VE universes to co-exist side-by-side in their own right, without so much saying, e.g., that something is amiss in the necessarily compacted and substantially re-created anime/movie VE world.

2023-03-25 05:50:33 +0000 UTCTo me it seemed like Gilbert agreed to take Violet merely because he was afraid of what might happen to her if she were left in anyone else's care. Taking her to the front lines isn't something he wanted to do, it was just better than the alternatives. But you can see how he's constantly haunted by it.

2023-03-25 03:04:02 +0000 UTCI think part of it was simply due to the shift in focus on the post-war stories in the anime. Personally I think it's probably a good thing, keeping some of the mystery in the backstory helps me forget just how ridiculous a lot of it is with her being 10-14. And it got toned down from the books too, easier to take seriously in the anime and get sucked into the rest of the story.

2023-03-25 02:01:46 +0000 UTCIt's always annoyed me how little they spend on how Dietfried actually got her. Dietfried might be an asshole, but the guy IS somewhat justified. Violet IS a weapon, and she went weapon ALL OVER him and his men. We know Violet to be the lovable naive protagonist she is. To him she's just the monster that killed his men.

2023-03-25 00:20:38 +0000 UTCIt doesn't really go into it in the anime, but in the novels a big part of why Dietfried wanted to give Violet to Gilbert was because he was terrified of her. She'd spent days hunting and terrorising him and his men, as she was basically feral. He was actually pretty desperate for her to become someone elses problem.
