WELL, I was the first one to suggest that, speaking about the Overlord! ;D ;D ;D ;D LOL. Fact is, we don't really know to what extent Sagarese magic can work on brains. It would be possible. We've seen Mara use telepathy so giving John the basics of the main language of Sagar shouldn't be too hard for her. TRUE. What about Katana... what's the first being she encounters on Sagar?

Blackstar was the first one she encountered. And this whole language-by-magic thing is, well, reading too much into things. Filmation simply didn't stop to deal with the issue of language and assimilation. People, it was a cartoon, and cartoon physics apply. Language is a non-issue.

It's just that we like to "fan fictionalize". Out of curiosity, who is the second person she encountered on Sagar? ;D

A two headed mantis dragon thing? That probably doesn't count...

Why would Katana even need to learn Sagarese? She didn't interact with anybody but Blackstar, and when she talked to the Overlord and the Vizier, she was under mind control. The woman doesn't know a single alien word.

Something else to consider with the Blackstar timeline are the annual events that the Trobbits take part in - like taking the fruit of the Sagar Tree to the Merminites and that whole box that contains spring guff. Blackstar seems pretty clued up on how these things work...

Blackstar seems pretty clued up on how these things work... Yeah... that's because he had been there for years. So I think Katana came to rescue almost at the beginning of his life on Sagar... after one year, maybe. Great insight!
