Ryuunohaisha_ep_02_ita.mp4Bell, the resurrected soldier from the opposing nation, serves as the audience's surrogate.

The battle inside the Dragon’s mouth is chaotic and surreal, mirroring the senseless violence of the terrestrial war happening below. The Dragon, which remains silent and detached throughout the carnage, represents a natural or divine order that is indifferent to human suffering yet provides the very foundation for their existence.
