So Eren Yeager killed 80% of humanity, but Kai is worst mc because? Just one of hundreds of possible examples, not really bothered what you think, you’re welcome to your opinion. Even tho it’s clearly wrong…

ahm okay but wtf has that to do with attack on titan?? and just that you know i don't even like attack on titan so your point is pointless to me but okay!my point in this is that krai is sending his companions in a fight where the only reason is that he want to save his own skin! Yeah for Sure nobody dies bc he is the mc, but imagine he is not!how many would die bc his selfishness reasons!!?

I get what you’re saying, I don’t think he’s the worst ever but he’s definitely mad annoying. But at the end of the day, the whole misunderstanding of his actual strength, intelligence, and character seems to me the shtick of the whole show. If you don’t find it amusing then I can see why you’d dislike this anime as a whole.

I love the fact Tino thinks Krai is a god🤣 she's so delusional.

Krai straight up admits he's "not that guy" in the flashbacks with the other members 😂

If it weren't for the flashbacks showing Krai trying hard to get out of the team and the adventurer business only to be taken along against his will, I would probably have trouble liking him too, thinking he takes advantage of his position and the people below him in the hierarchy, but I think the story does enough to show him in a sympathetic light. Things are just irrational around him.

Overall, I have a problem with the trope of the protagonist with misjudged strength, and yet, I'm enjoying this anime precisely because Krai is fully aware of his state. He's admittedly weak and cowardly, but it's not like he can do anything to change himself other than using the artifacts. I've gotten really annoyed with strong protagonists who pretend or think they're weak like Cid from "Eminence in Shadow" and Noor from "I Will Parry Everything" respectively, but stories with weak protagonists who are considered strong fare better in the trope.

Nah im w u on this one. He a bit annoying which makes it kinda hard to watch for me and his “luck-focused” trope is just irritating. Show’s not too bad tho tbh

You're saying we can't compare it to AoT? You are the one who brought up the thread about the worst protagonist of all time. I admit I don't like Krai but there are ones I've seen in the past I never made it past the first episode because of the MC.

he's stupid ass but still like watching him. His power/luck is similar to this dude from Tensei shitara so I'm curious how far Krai can go.

@Kaze1214 Then you've more tolerance than I do. I can put up with a lot of MC's if the rest of the show is good. With this one, I just surrender and give up on it.

Maybe not worst mc, he doesnt seem to be as dense as "parry idiot", but still annoying asf due to lazy writing. Dropped after ep3.

@Moppit Nah you misunderstood the gag there. He is supposed to be that way. Those girls who stayed with him are the idiots. LOL
Anyway, Krai is NOT a reliable narrator so I don't take anything he says as truth, either.

Yes, it’s a comedy. But what did you expect? That he’d be super OP and solve every problem easily? That he’d be super altruistic and naive? That would basically take away all the elements that make this show different from similar ones.

Cid Kagenou... probably does that as well, more or less, but at least he has the prowess to finish what he started. Krai on the other hand is rather weak without his rings. lmao but funny. smh. (I don't really care about the MC here, the mobs are more entertaining)

CrazyButNot4UNov 10, 10:18 PM

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Even if both characters were on the same level in terms of power and reliability, cid would still be on a completely different level compared to krai.
Cid and his antics/behaviour are actually funny ( well, most of the time) unlike krai. He is also pretty entertaining to watch and therefore likable, krai on the other hand, is just annoying.

This series here is also supposed to be more "serious" than eminence of shadows, a series that obviously doesnt take itself too serious.

I'm gonna be honest, I keep watching this week-to-week and every single episode I get further and further entrenched in the fact that I don't have a single reason to care about any character I've seen so far.

- Krai: MC doesn't want to be in his own show? Well if his LUCK stat is anything to go by, then congratulations! He's barely in half the episodes anyway, guess he got his wish. But seriously, all he does in whine and complain and everything around him happens to work out and so the common folk revere him as god...and this is...comedy? This isn't even a "don't take everything so seriously" type beat this is just not funny man.

- Liz: Why would anyone want to be around this person? Why would anyone like this person? Cuteness can only take you so far when you're insufferable. Any other reason to defend this person is goon-logic. "B-b-but she's just mad you didn't live up to your potential!!!" So she acts like an abusive scumbag because of *her* perceived notion of your potential, like she knows you like that on an intimate level? This is an immature child, one thing I'll give Krai is how well he hard-passes this chucklehead.

- Sitri: This girl is a sweet, energetic sociopathic terrorist. The joke's not funny when the punchline is "so I murdered these guys for research and mind-wiped the person whose identity I stole". I was with her whole super smart, strategic mind that uses her (the world's) misunderstanding of Krai to reason out everything going on. But then they drop the psycho-bomb, and I just threw my hands up. Is everyone on this team a terribly annoying person??

- Rest of Grieving Souls: Who cares? Literally 9 episodes in and you've only introduced 2 other members (not counting Krai, he's our MC, our "in" so-to-speak) of the party our MC is apart of. We have no idea of their dynamics together as characters and supposed childhood friends, only anecdotes and unrelated side characters gushing about how cool they are. You don't even know what Ansem's face looks like unless you look at the Crunchyroll page for the show (holy hell that man's jaw is marbled)

- Tino: Was fine, at first; her "Krai is God" but was chuckle-worthy and her constant "It's all part of Master's plan" was a decent foray into how the world views Krai and the Grievers. Once Liz came along it was over tho, now only trauma and Krai-lust act as her personality traits.

- 3 Randos from the first few episodes: Why are these people here? Do they come back? What was the point of their existence? What did having work with and eventually revere Krai do for Krai's character? Did they have the cool Relic Sword and get chosen to go to the dungeon and not charge the sword and revere Krai as "Thousand Tricks" at the end in a poorly conceived way to illustrate the core concepts of the world? Probably.

- Other Parties (Pretty Boi + Edge Bow Parties): More world building I guess, but hardly get anything from Pretty Boi before he disappears with his harem. Edge Bow and his party at least push the plot along, although he takes Krai way too seriously, making sure that dead horse keeps getting beat.

- Gark: Gark was cool. Classic hyper-macho org head type. Gets into battle to show the whippersnappers he's still got it. Too bad he didn't really get to do that much.

Overall, it just seems like from the plot, to the way the story presents itself, to the characters and especially the MC, it's almost like Krai Andrey himself is telling me that like quantum superposition he only has to be apart of the plot if I observe it so he's doing everything in his power to get me to not look at it. And dammit Krai, if I wasn't so stubborn and already 9 episodes in I probably would. But that's all part of his plan, and we can't have that can we? ;)

@Bloodwing1730 It’s not clear what you consider 'funny' and 'entertaining,' so I won’t argue about it. But it’s impossible to compare the two, indeed. Cid is a god who does whatever he wants and faces no challenges. Meanwhile, TEIS’s story takes itself very seriously when it’s not in Cid’s POV.
One way or another, Krai is the leader of his 'team', he gives the orders and makes the decisions. While Cid does nothing.
