Who am I supposed to ask what does this mean? I'm not going to play the game.

I'll do it, I haven't been watching but I've played the game for years. It means she's "somehow" inherited the status of King of the Sarkaz, less in a political way (though it can be) and more in a messianic way.

But was that "somehow" fortuitous? in a flashback it looks like Theresa did something to Amiya.

It's more burden than blessing, especially since she herself isn't Sarkaz. With Theresa it made her a symbol for the race to rally around, but Amiya isn't going to be accepted the same way. Sorry if I'm being vague, since I haven't been watching I'm not sure exactly what's happening or how much they've let on about things. I'm a little less worried about spoilers than I am getting hopelessly in the weeds about some of this shit.

This show is even less comprehensible than Kamitsubaki for anyone that's anime-only.

The patriot fight was shit. Live action emphasizes both the gameplay/story disconnect and endless cutscene exposition. The first two episodes tricked me into thinking they might be able to handle it somehow, but they can't.

Good thing I played the game so I can follow the plot (completely skipped the story)

The crown marks her as the rightful King of Sarkaz, an artifact that bestows confers upon her the political leadership of the various Sarkaz races. If any of them would listen to her, which... They don't. She's a rabbit, not a Sarkaz, and heir to the LOSER of the civil war.

However, "Lord of Fiends" is kind of their equivalent to King Arthur - not just their leader, but their ideal of the perfect leader returned to right all of their wrongs. Which, given their history, entails subjugating all of the lesser kingdoms that stole THEIR kingdom and condemned them all to die in the wastes - something rather at odds with what the bunny would prefer to do. The contrast between Amiya's desires and the prophecies surrounding her play a significant role in the game's second act. Probably didn't need to spoiler that, given that it just added slightly more context to the prophecy, but abundance of caution and all that.

You won't trick me, with those ears she is a donkey.

Its a lot of pure power, at this point she is using less than 20% of it thanks to rings, also it lets her see all previous Sarkaz king memories and also give Sarkaz visions like she did to Patriot.
Giving all this to a child, Sarkaz or not is kind of a dick move.

I like Theresa more than Amiya.

Well, Theresa IS a Sarkaz, and dick moves are kind of their thing...

Only the people who play the game are watching this. It's a shame, it's one of the well animated shows this season.

This is not true. I haven't touched the game at all, and still watch it.
As anime-only, I can say that immediate plot is more or less understandable. When characters mention something that's not immediately explained I just assume it'll be done later.

This sounds like Judaism/Christianity split.

It's not that bad, biggest shock to me was to learn that they were a pharmaceutical company, all this time I thought they were a PMC.
