Here's a roundup of fan reactions to Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia #3.
Bro, invading the entire Eurasian continent just to grab a book your wife wanted—only to find out none of you can even read—is peak historical tragedy mixed with absolute clown behavior.
Commenter
Here comes the painfully long Sunday night, time to crush some nomad horse lords!!!!!
Commenter
I mean, Silla totally looked devastated when Lady Fatima died...
Commenter
Ugh, they just gotta dangle that tiny bit of "hope" in front of us, don't they...
Commenter
This OP is a masterpiece no matter how many times I watch it.
Commenter
At this point it's not even a "Mongol arc", the whole damn show is just Mongols.
Commenter
That part in the OP where she walks back in time, the expression on her face during the very first witch scene hits hardest.
Commenter
The OP lyric "I can't smile here" is way too heavy, man.
Commenter
I know it's gonna be pain city from here on out, but I can't stop watching......
Commenter
"In the 13th century, a vast empire was born across the Eurasian continent."
Commenter
Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire.
Commenter
Is this the Genghis Khan era?
Commenter
The Mongol Empire... such an insane empire that picked fights with literally everyone, but since they had no culture of writing records, it's total mystery.
Commenter
Bro, the invasion range of the Mongol Empire is actually terrifying.
Commenter
Oh shit, actual history lesson starting.
Commenter
It's the Mongol era, let's goooo!!!!!
Commenter
Love how they don't show the Great Khan's face.
Commenter
Genghis founded the Mongol Empire and went on to conquer the whole damn world.
Commenter
The Mongol Empire... like half a century before the Mongol invasions of Japan.
Commenter
That once-called strongest empire in history, the Mongol Empire...
Commenter
Since the Mongols had ultimogeniture, wasn't Tolui the youngest and therefore the most powerful?
Commenter
Ögedei, Chagatai, Jochi.
Commenter
Jochi, Chagatai, and Ögedei. Saw 'em in the textbook.
Commenter
Whoa, lords of the various uluses!
Commenter
Names straight out of the world history textbook are flying left and right.
Commenter
Nomads practice ultimogeniture after all.
Commenter
Tolui is the 4th prince so he's first in line. Mongols do youngest-son inheritance.
Commenter
The older generation had so much drama over the eldest son's career success.
Commenter
Super nice of them to actually explain the world history background.
Commenter
That custom of sniffing each other's scents during a hug.
Commenter
The sheer size of the Mongol Empire's territory, tho.
Commenter
They just drop these four brothers in here so casually.
Commenter
Since the setting shifted to Mongolia, everything's in Japanese now lol.
Commenter
Wonder how many countries these four bros wiped out together...
Commenter
Are those Jurchens in the back?
Commenter
Seki-san doing the narration and his voice is just insanely good.
Commenter
Ögedei is just constantly drinking booze (was that the cause of death again?)
Commenter
"Got my hands on something good." And it's THAT book...!
Commenter
Wait, you don't even really know what it is either?!
Commenter
So this is around the time the Hojo clan started grabbing real power, Kamakura-dono style..
Commenter
Talkin' all that big game but none of you can even read lol.
Commenter
Since this isn't from Sitara's POV, I guess it's framed so we can understand their language. ( ˙꒳˙ ) Makes sense.
Commenter
You get the 4 brothers' entire personalities and dynamics in just this short scene. This is good stuff.
Commenter
Scenes that show Tolui's humanity, I love 'em.
Commenter
"What's written in it?" "…No idea!" Figures lmao.
Commenter
You have NO CLUE?! ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
Commenter
The Elements? Huh? The wife wanted it? No clue!
Commenter
So happy to hear Tolui being all whipped for his wife... happy... yeah...
Commenter
Such a modest wish, and knowing that modesty is what sets off Sitara's revenge just breaks me.
Commenter
Is sniffing scents during a hug just a normal custom for them?
Commenter
Lmao nobody knows what to do.
Commenter
Laughing it up, but people actually died for that shit, you know.
Commenter
Tolui acting like a proper youngest brother, I dig it.
Commenter
Just for that casual whim... because of the wife......
Commenter
Wow... for a reason like THAT... wow...
Commenter
"A scholar's daughter" ……That is…………
Commenter
Oh, wait, he totally misunderstood because of the wife's dying words.
Commenter
Then why the hell did you massacre all the scholars?!
Commenter
She wasn't a daughter, she was a slave smh.
Commenter
I kinda like how pop-culturey the Mongols are being portrayed here.
Commenter
Mongol Empire succession is basically youngest-son takes all.
Commenter
A slave from a scholar's household, but she's got brains.
Commenter
He wasn't even interested in the contents, he just did it for his wife?!
Commenter
Then why'd you steal the damn thing in the first place?!
Commenter
Mom died literally just for THIS?!
Commenter
Giving off major Mongol Empire After-School Tea Time vibes.
Commenter
Tomato Soup-sensei's art is actually moving, animation tech is insane.
Commenter
But because of THAT, Fatima-san ended up...
Commenter
They cast Houko Kuwashima just for THAT.
Commenter
That look of pure rage... coming from such a sweet, smiling girl...
Commenter
You raid and pillage places when you can't even read?
Commenter
Nice touch making the font look like Mongolian script.
Commenter
Tolui's royalty and yet he totally looks down on education.
Commenter
Ughh... Sitara... 😭 This is too painful... too painful... ugh...
Commenter
All for something so stupid, you killed his wife...!!!
Commenter
Who could possibly... want to... do this...
Commenter
An apology isn't gonna cut it.
Commenter
I love how they portray the emotional shift in Sitara right here way too much.
Commenter
Well, the wife literally called her "daughter." Can't really blame him for getting it wrong.
Commenter
Hey, this guy wants to stay alive too...
Commenter
Deploying conquered tribes on the front lines, huh..
Commenter
Bro's just desperately trying to survive as well.
Commenter
Would it have been better if she could just detach herself like Silla......
Commenter
Getting used as a human shield. Literal meat shield....
Commenter
Gotta survive and make it big no matter what!
Commenter
This guy is literally fighting for his life too.
Commenter
So this dude chose to adapt to Mongolia, huh......
Commenter
Interpreter boy saw getting captured as an absolute win, huh.
Commenter
Measuring people by "not even a mustache yet"—I love these little alien-culture details.
Commenter
Being good-looking is straight-up a weapon.
Commenter
Your future depends entirely on your talents... a luxury she never had back in her slave days...
Commenter
Of course Sitara is super pissed.
Commenter
They tweaked the dialogue a bit... adjusting things to make the story flow smoother?
