When Hampnie Hambart died, was it because his wish came true AND he succumbed
to his wounds, or would he have died whether he was wounded or not because his
wish came true? I'm asking because I don't recall him being that terribly
wounded. It seemed like the group that captured him was just getting started.

What happened to Hampnie Hambart in Episode 3?


It's hard to know for sure, but it makes sense why he would die if we accept
Hampnie Hambart's own theory for what God is doing. He believes that God
thinks he is granting humans their wishes. In that case, Hampnie Hambart's own
wish, to die happy with his family, was granted. Until that point, he was
unable to die because it would go against his wish. However, once those
conditions were met, he could die just as any other human.

As for his wounds not being very severe, this is a matter of how you interpret
the scene. My personal guess he was probably at the level that an ordinary
human would die, but being immortal himself, he could withstand more than the
average human. Another possibility is that after his conditions were met, his
wish being his own death, God granted him that wish right away. What exactly
the group does to him isn't depicted much so we can't know for sure whether it
would kill a normal person. There may be more information in the light novels,
but I haven't read them.

Of course, we don't really know what God is doing (at least not yet), so there
could be a different explanation, but this makes sense given all that we know
so far by episode 3 of the anime.
