I feel like episode 5 nullified the whole purpose of the show.

Yeah this is very much a turn your brain off kind of show. It’s fun, but not much else.

I perceive it as THE greatest demon lord is reincarnated as a typical nobody meaning he is still demon lord & doesn’t lose his powers he just reincarnated into a typical civilian who’s not the demon lord

The whole purpose of the show is supposed to be that Demon Lord Varvatos reincarnates in a body that's as strong as the average ancient person. However, Ard defeated Elzard, who's supposed to be a monster that's almost immortal, so easily. I expect Ard to be incredibly overpowered, but that battle should at least have been a lot tougher since he reincarnated in a weaker body than what he originally had. From what episode 5 showed us, he can just somehow turn into Demon Lord Varvatos whenever he wants with that spell. That kind of nullifies the whole purpose of the show if Ard can just turn into Varvatos whenever he likes. I actually like shows with OP characters and I understand that humans are much weaker than what they were before, but it doesn't make sense why Ard is powerful enough to easily take down a dragon king when that same dragon king was a cataclysm to ancient humans.

If I am not wrong then the whole purpose of the show and Ard’s reincarnation is to make friends and get people to be around him despite his power. In his previous life, he was bored and scared almost everyone around him so he couldn’t make friends and fun in his previous life that’s why he did reincarnate

Tyrant_Inferno said:


True, and part of his plan to make friends was to significantly lessen his magic power. Now he's in the same boat again where he was worried that Ireena might be terrified of him due to his power, but thankfully that didn't happen. I know that the humans in Ard's timeline are significantly weaker than the average human in Varvatos's time, and he's overpowered again because of that. However, Ard with the magical power of an average ancient human shouldn't have so easily defeated Elzard.

_Zuki said:
well from the synopsis, it was stated that he reincarnated just to find out that the modern era was far too weak even though he made it in such a way that, he will be reincarnated with average power . I don’t really think that dragon whatsoever is strong compared to the evil gods he fought back then.

Tyrant_Inferno said:


Maybe Elzard also somehow had gotten weaker, but I didn’t see it stated anywhere. What we do know that it’s explained that she nearly destroyed the world after Varvatos disappeared. It looked like Ard turned into Varvatos during the battle, which may explain why she was so easily defeated. But if that were the case, that would nullify the whole story if Ard can turn into Varvatos whenever he likes.

It doesn't nullify anything. He is omnipotent. he reincarnated as a typical nobody to make friends. He is simply so smart that he quickly gained most of his power back. And he also did reincarnate as someone weak but for people in his old time periods standards, in the modern day humanity simply got weaker so he reincarnated still better than most accidentally. And the show is so fun and has very good animation. Easily a top 5 spring 2022 anime. The only thing that it sucks in is that its lacking realistic threats/problems and the fact that he has too many females after him is annoying. Still first 3 episodes were 9/10 and episode where he fights the dragon was a 9+/10 in animation standards. So overall, its still way underrated at 6.5/10.

this anime no way a Top 5 anime of spring 22 this is the second straight season we got a another Anos Voldigold rip-off wtf

animeAddict17 said:


TOP 5 spring anime are probably 1. Spy x Family 2. Kaguya-Sama 3. Tomodachi Game 4. Shield Hero 5. Either Skeleton Knight or Trapped in a Dating Sim
6.
7. Greatest Demon Lord

But when it came to comparing the first 3 episodes, Greatest Demon lord was top 3 til it got heavily hated with bias 'he's too strong''Too cliche strong character wah!'
And if I got to be honest, not much spring anime have a animated fight scene as epic and difficult as ard vs dragon. Besides Spy X Family fight scenes, you can go ahead and tell me one that comes close.

dxtremecaliber said:


Tomodachi Game aint Top 5 maybe Top 10 also you forgot Summertime Render thats the best anime this season lastly honorable mention Paripi Koumei

but this Anos Voldigold ripoff anime aint now way Top 5 or even 10 not even close bruh

1. Summertime Render
2. Spy Family
