Pandora Hearts Volume 6 Review

Reading through this chapter got me happy because both my favorite character and my second favorite character make their debut! Yes, my faves are Leo and Elliot! I think this is where the story starts picking up, not because of my bias, but because Oz finally gets the character development albeit slow.

Chapter 23 is basically where the last chapter of the fifth volume left off. To summarize, it’s basically Break’s death flags waving at him. Also, it’s nice to see Reim and Break’s friendship and what Sharon means to Break. Oz was a little sh*t to Break, being surprised that he got friends. Haha, continue being one, Oz. So, yes, Sharon is now saved.

Chapters 24, 25 and 26 all revolve around the Lutwidge Academy. I love how Chapter 23 was all Break and his death flags and suddenly, Chapter 24 is just Oscar going “LET’S GO VISIT ADA! HERE, WEAR THESE DISGUISES AND TAKE THIS UNDERGROUND PASSAGE WITHOUT THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES!” And then they suffer the consequences hilariously as Oscar also wears a school uniform but does a terrible job of not being conspicuous.

These three chapters are also important for Oz’s character development in a sense. He already had a a bit of a self-sacrificing, “I don’t care about myself” sort of personality and it got worse once Jack took over his body, developing an even greater inferiority complex and even an identity crisis. That was why he avoided Ada, despite wanting to see her again, because he believes that she doesn’t remember him all too well and that he still looks the same while she got older. Fortunately, Alice was one of the factors that allowed him to realize his worth. He once told Alice that she’s fine the way she is, and Alice repeats that to him.

I think the biggest factor that allowed Oz to stop thinking that he’s worthless is his encounter with Elliot and Leo. Before, he wanted to meet them because they were playing a four-handed piece that sounded just like the music box melody. Then, Oz and Elliot meet with terrible first impressions as Elliot did the unthinkable: spoil Holy Knight, Oz’s favorite book series with the reveal that his favorite character Edgar dies. Elliot hates people like Edgar who are self-sacrificing and care little about the people around them as he believes people like him are selfish. That’s Elliot’s impression of Oz before he finally got through to him and helped Oz realize that he has worth and that people love him for who he is and not because he’s Jack.

Elliot and Leo have so much chemistry. They’re always seen together, yet they bounce off of each other so well. Elliot is hot-blooded and isn’t afraid of speaking his mind while Leo is like his handler of sorts, but also scolds Elliot whenever he gets too out of hand. I love their little bickering relationship. While they squabble with each other a lot, Elliot and Leo do care a lot about each other. While Leo is the one who puts Elliot in his place, Elliot is also protective of Leo as he’s seen protecting him from fatal attacks twice. Though, Leo’s status as a competent servant is questionable. Basically, these two are beta Vanitas and Noe.

This is also where the Baskervilles are finally introduced. The members of Baskerville are interesting. Lottie is a baddie. Doug and Fang are interesting too. However, I can see why Lottie is on the cover for this volume. She stood out the most with her eccentric behavior, to her chain and to her being one of the factors of the glaring flaw in Oz’s personality. 

I also remember that this is where the anime starts to diverge from the manga. I remember some scenes in the manga were changed in the anime, though my memory is very vague. I think once I get to around Volumes 7-8, I’ll rewatch the anime. Other than that, I think I did a good job not gushing too much over Leo for this review. I’m not sure when I’ll get to Volume 7 since I’m going to move to a new house with my family, meaning I’m going to have to stop buying manga for a while. Let me know your thoughts about this volume!

I fried my brain earlier today when I came to the realization that the Five Elders's dub actors in One Piece almost all look like their characters.

I'm out here unironically having this moment 🤣
