While it's borderline on whether it's anime or not, puppet wuxia continues to deliver. I just have to share this speech from the latest episode of Thunderbolt Fantasy(we're halfway through the new season now) because it's just *chef's kiss*
Also doesn't really spoil anything, plot-wise, if you're concerned about that, but definitely adds some great context to Azibelpher's previous actions in season 3 and this season.

Even when I was young and weak, my body has not a single scar left behind from being attacked by demonic beasts.
Being here in these cruel and brutal lands of the demon realm and yet somehow managing to survive without sustaining even a scratch. Do you think that’s even possible?
That’s right, it’s impossible.
As impossible as finally attaining the secret technique, only to ignore and not try it out even once.
That’s exactly why when I completed this technique to combat causality that this miraculous first half of my life all made sense to me.
Turns out changing the past has the impact of also affecting the memories of the conjurer.
That means…
I’m afraid my real origin was nothing more than some mediocre schmuck filled with much sorrow and humiliation.
I relied on the secret technique I comprehended to completely alter that aspect of my past.
And because I’ve removed the root of my lamentation in the early half of my life, I’ve since then lost the motivation to change the past.
All that which reside within my body right now are merely the memories of basking in the path of my victories.
Before I become that version of someone I could accept...
What did the past ‘me’ yearn for?
What did that ‘me’ attain along the way?
I remember absolutely nothing!
Thus, this life of mine is akin to a story written by a stranger.
So you’re saying, no matter what sort of setbacks the future may hold for you…
It matters not to me.
Be it comedy or tragedy, it would not be an outcome that disagrees with me.
Because the ‘me’ existing in another time have already gotten rid of all those disagreements.
Even if what awaits me is the destruction of this body of mine, that’s nothing more than what the other ‘me’ has considered a good result for myself.
Something like that… that’s just…
I have to say, Keigai, because of this Scrying Mirror invention of yours...
You too, are now standing on the starting point of the secret technique behind the transversing of time.
While I do praise you for your development, I also have to tell you this: it’s best not to continue pursuing it
It’s because I’ve attained the power to alter the past and shape the future that I’ve lost all joys and pride from my accomplishments.
This is the curse behind trying to manipulate causality.
This is the trap that awaits your very future.
