Lira, Mira fall in battle as Mitena's forces attack Sapiro
Two beloved characters from the world of "Encantadia" bid an emotional farewell as Lira (Mikee Quintos) and Mira (Kate Valdez) met their tragic end following an attack by Mitena (Rhian Ramos)'s forces in Sapiro. Thursday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" showed the continuation of the Mine-a-ves' attack on Encantadia, which Lira and Mira initially tried to fight off. Lira was fatally struck by a sword wielded by Daron (Jon Lucas), while Mira was killed shortly after by Zaur (Gabby Eigenmann). Pirena (Glaiza De Castro) arrived at the scene only to be devastated by the sight of her daughter and niece lying barely conscious on the ground. Mira, though gravely wounded, urged her mother to go to Lira first. In a tearful moment, Lira, ever the spirited warrior, remained lighthearted as she told Pirena that it might be time for her to reunite with her late parents, Amihan (Kylie Padilla) and Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid), in Devas. Moments later, the Retre appeared and carried Lira's soul away as she faded from Pirena's arms. Mira had also already lost her grip on life when Pirena returned to her. A grieving Pirena returned to Hathoria to bring the news to her younger daughter Flamarra (Faith Da Silva) and her husband Azulan (Marx Topacio). She then told them to ready their forces to defend the Palace. Pirena then went to Imaw to tell him of the ongoing assault. Imaw decided to send Banak and Nakba to the mortal world to fetch Danaya (Sanya Lopez). "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

'Sang'gre' just made a hot debut on primetime! As seen in the post of GMA Network on Facebook, the hashtag Sanggre World Premiere topped the Philippine trending list on X (formerly Twitter) with over 30,000 tweets. 'Number one trending.

'Sang'gre' delivers epic pilot episode with dragon, giant, prophecy, and a world of ice
"Sang'gre" delivered a pilot episode of epic proportions as we return to the world of "Encantadia!" The opening scene eased us in with the familiar: a flashback to Pirena, Amihan, Alena, and Danaya, the four Sang'gres we know and love. They were all riding horses towards Lireo, but the first surprise of the episode soon appeared: a dragon with a well-made CGI that made it look straight out of "House of the Dragon." The four Sang'gres decided to use the powers of the gems of fire, air, water and earth to slay the creature, which poses a threat to their kingdom. Like in the magical girl genre, their armors flashed with the power of their elements before they attacked the dragon and ultimately vanquished it. After the dragon, another magical creature appeared: a giant named Arsus, who had been hunting the people of Mine-a-ve and ruling the land of ice with terror. This was where Mitena, the main antagonist of the series, made her entrance. She challenged Arsus to a fight and single-handedly won using her unique sword. After killing the giant, Mitena declared herself the Kera or queen of Mine-a-ve. The people then began to kneel one by one to accept her as their ruler. Before the episode ended, Bathalumang Cassiopeia appeared before Pirena, Danaya, and Alena at the present time. She warned them of an ominous dream that she had: someone from another land will bring her death. The opening billboard of "Sang'gre" was also a thing of beauty, with a nod to the "Game of Thrones" opening. Landscapes and castles are shown, paired with the somber sound of cellos before Julie Anne San Jose comes in with vocals. It all comes together with the vocals of Bayang Barrios from the original theme of the series. The pilot episode was indeed worth the long wait for the "Encantadia" spinoff, which took two years to produce. "Sang'gre" airs weekdays on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." The legend continues. ???? GMA Network proudly presents 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sanggre!' #Sanggre | Weeknights at 8:00 PM on GMA Prime. — GMA Drama (@GMADrama) June 16, 2025 —MGP, GMA Integrated News
