 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I mean his skills are mainly still for defense, he'll need more attackers considering how many monsters pops out when a wave happens. He got his closure in this ep, he's come into terms with it but he still isn't this nice guy that goes around saving people for free despite being a hero, that is unless the anime decides to change stuffs again which I'm sure it will. Anyways its just 4 more eps, try reading the manga, you'll enjoy it more if you want that vindictive, vengeful piece of shit Naofumi, he's tons of fun there compared to the anime take on him. |

| Naofumi has always been a generic, one-dimensional, flat-line with some superficial emo characteristics. He has at no point been a douche; rather, he was going around with a huge chip on his shoulder for no reason. It seems that in the process of the adaptation, they decided to throw even this threadbare characterization away and instead make him even more generic and forgettable. The clinching moment was his crisis of conscience in the latest episode, which they attempted to disguise as more justice porn. |

It'd be nice for at least one thread to not have that argument. |

So those two things are either from the manga or anime original scenes. Naofumi has always been a generic, one-dimensional, flat-line with some superficial emo characteristics.

So those two things are either from the manga or anime original scenes. No question, the adaptation has been whitewashing the story, maybe in attempt to head off criticism from certain Western media or generally be more acceptable to broad audiences. Not that I'm defending the source material mind you, but the changes they have made are not doing the story any favors. |

The trail doesn't happen in the manga either, it's Noafumi who want them dead and the queen is like "Nope not gonna happen" lol Anime Naofumi is just ... a knight in shining armor who always do the right thing. You can tell that whole setup with execution was made just make Naofumi look good when he stop it. |

Those things never happened You're coming into this without any of the previous discussion that has happened. So no, I don't believe that there is sufficient justification for characterizing him as a petulant sourpuss for most of the series. |
SSL443 said: Hes also far from generic. Hes someone who embraced the image that was falsely painted on him and that made him quite an enjoyable character to watch. You can even see how he changed as a character before and after Malty and the King fucked him overNaofumi has always been a generic, one-dimensional, flat-line with some superficial emo characteristics.

The first episode was literally 40 minutes ffs. He was a stick when he first got "isekaid" but after what the Kingdom did to him he decided to take up the role of an anti-hero I guess.

So there is plenty of justification, you're just dense What does the episode runtime have to do with anything? Twice nothing is still nothing. Number one; as was revealed in the latest episode, the narrative justification for people being on Naofumi's case right from the start was nothing more than lazy writing. This supports my assertion that the "setup" of the false rape accusation was contrived for the purpose of justice porn and not good storytelling or character development. There was no development or explanation of the motivations of the villains in the first episode, which added to the apparent contrivance for the sake of plot advancement. Number two; the actual hardship that Naofumi experienced as a direct result of the frame-up was limited at most. Yet he spends the rest of the series with an expression on his face like he is perpetually constipated. When you realize that Raphtalia underwent trauma orders of magnitudes greater, to say nothing of other demi-humans in-universe, it puts Naofumi's overboard reaction in perspective. The plot and development of his character fail to justify his edgy demeanor. This can only lead to the conclusion that he was written to appeal to shitlords who think an asshole MC is cool, regardless of the actual reasoning behind the characterization. Calling me dense won't change facts, and might be projection. Food for thought. |

I mean in the sense that the show has become more about a group of characters on a journey rather than the adventure of a mistreated protagonist. If the series decided to only follow Naofumi and Raphtalia, that would've left much more potential to bond and develop the characters a lot |
