What Are the Favorite Scenes from "The Too-Perfect Saint" Chosen by Yui Ishikawa, Kaede Hondo, and Shū Uchida?

"The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom" (hereafter "The Too-Perfect Saint") is a miraculous fantasy story about Philia, a girl who never laughed and was deemed “the greatest saint in history.” Despite her abilities, she is rejected as a fiancée for being “too perfect and lacking charm” and is sold off to a neighboring kingdom. There, Philia gradually opens her heart and finds her smile blossoming. With only two episodes remaining until the final episode, the program revisited the story with each of the three guests' favorite scenes.

Ishikawa first highlighted the show’s appeal by mentioning the "comedic scenes inserted amidst the ongoing serious storyline." One of her favorite comedic moments is the scene where Philia's grueling training days with her mentor are depicted with a chibi-style Philia. She commented, “This chibi Philia is so adorable!” and shared how these light-hearted scenes are a soothing contrast to the serious moments.

As for the scenes that touched her heart, Ishikawa selected a moment where Philia’s heart begins to change during a conversation with Oswald. Philia recalls being appreciated by those around her, even during the painful days in the Kingdom of Ziltonia, which she had thought were full of nothing but bitter memories. Ishikawa reflected, “After receiving so much love in Parnacorta and learning to accept herself, Philia finally notices the kindness around her. I think it’s because Oswald is someone who always expresses his feelings straightforwardly that his words reached Philia.” She looked back on how Philia was able to change thanks to the influence of Oswald and others around her.
