Rosty and Will’s relationship in Wistoria: Wand and Sword Could Conceal a Surprising Hidden Truth for Fans

The release of episode 8 of Wistoria: Wand and Sword has sparked heated discussions among fans about the relationship between Rosty and Will. The episode depicted Rosty Naumann unexpectedly showing up on Will and Colette’s date, ultimately ruining their chances for a perfect evening.

Rosty clutched Will Serfort’s hands tightly as they shopped for items, behaving as if they were lovers. Colette couldn’t help but wonder if Rosty had developed feelings for Will due to his clingy behavior. She decided to confront Rosty about it, and he immediately confessed that he loved Will more than anyone else.

Despite Rosty’s apparent deep love for Will in the latest episode, there may be more to their relationship than meets the eye. According to a popular fan theory, Rosty may actually be an ice clone of Elfaria, a fact that Will is not yet aware of. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the dynamic between Rosty and Will in Wistoria: Wand and Sword that may not be immediately apparent to fans.

Exploring the Complexity of the Relationship Between Rosty and Will in Wistoria: Wand and Sword

Despite what fans of Wistoria: Wand and Sword may believe, the relationship between Rosty Naumann and his roommate, Will Serfort, is far from simple. Throughout the grand narrative, Rosty has consistently shown his deep care for Will, and this sentiment was reiterated in the latest episode as he confided in Colette about his feelings for his friend.

Despite being introduced as Will’s roommate, Rosty may actually be a genderbent ice clone of Elfaria Albis Serfort. This is likely due to the fact that Will and Elfaria have shared a strong bond since they were children.

Will’s strong admiration and love for the ice maiden, Elfaria, who has become a Magia Vander thanks to her impressive powers, drives his longing to climb the towers and reunite with her. Becoming a Magia Vander and seeing Elfaria again are Will’s ultimate goals.

Similarly, Elfaria’s fixation on Will remains unwavering. She eagerly anticipates the moment when she will be able to reunite with him. As fans are aware, Elfaria possesses the magical ability known as Ars Weiss, which allows her to create living ice clones of herself.

The possibility of the ice maiden creating a genderbent living clone and sending it to the surface to protect her lover, Will, and keep him safe cannot be completely ruled out. Significant hints in both the manga and the anime further support this theory.

During the Terminalia arc, Rosty is stabbed by one of the Mage Killers and a small ice shard falls from his hand. Additionally, in Fujino Omori’s manga, there are multiple instances where the perspective shifts from Rosty to Elfaria, suggesting a clear link between the two characters.

In addition, Rosty’s smile from the opening theme of the anime bears a striking resemblance to Elfaria’s from the ending theme. Furthermore, during the boy’s introduction in the show, he can be heard humming the ending theme song, further emphasizing the ice maiden’s emotions towards Will Serfort.

The anime adaptation of the Grand Magic Festival arc later features a conversation between Rosty and Iris, giving the impression that they are quite familiar with each other. However, the voice actor for Rosty has not been revealed in the anime, despite bearing a striking resemblance to Elfaria’s voice actress.

Upon careful consideration of the significant hints provided by both Fujino Omori’s manga and the anime, it appears that Rosty is indeed Elfaria’s clone. As a result, the relationship between Rosty and Will may be quite complex. This is further supported by the fact that, according to both the anime and the manga, Will remains unaware of Rosty’s supposed true identity.

Despite having strong feelings of affection for the boy, he does not see him as a romantic partner because Will’s heart is consumed with love for Elfaria.

If he had been aware that Rosty was a clone of Elfaria, his interactions with the boy would have been altered. Nevertheless, Fujino Omori adeptly crafted the story, centering on the relationship between Will, Elfaria, and Rosty in the kingdom of Wistoria, as depicted in Wistoria: Wand and Sword.
