why couldn't he pull it?
>>281981277The sword didn't choose him.
it's a metaphor for erectile disfuction
>>281981277The sword realized it wasn't worthy of belonging to Himmel.
Because you are emotionally manipulated into being wowed by him defeating the demon lord anyway.
>>281981570all media is emotionally manipulative
>>281981570not really, just feels like a cop out
>>281981277because it wouldn't be fun
>>281981277microplastics
>>281981277manlets dont get free swords
>>281981277Because LOL WITY SUBVERSION!
>>281981277Because he wasn't chosen to be a hero, he chose to be a hero
>>281981277Better question will it play a role later in the story or was its only purpose showing off how cool Himmel was for saving the world without it?
>>281981277Maybe his back hurt.
>>281981277Because it was stated they were not the more powerful party in the story, but fans are delusional.
> He didn’t pull the sword> Fans treat this as the greatest thing everWhy is the fanbase so easy to please? It’s just like how they’re trying to convince themselves that this current arc isn’t boring.
>>281983222So are they easy to please or they are not pleased but pretend they are
>>281982911From what?
>>281983304
>>281981277He wasn't a humble Japanese high-schooler
>>281981277Because he didn't lock in and fuck the elf.
>>281981277the sword was for the hero who would revive the elven race with the potency of his sperm, himmel had weak swimmers
>>281981277Didn't need it, he already had a sword.
>>281981277a real hero would've impregnated frieren
>>281981277It stuck
Himmel realized, the Sword doesn't choose the Hero, but, the Hero chooses the Sword. So, Himmel didn't need the Sword, just needed a sword.
>>281981423>>281982580>>281983511kino
>>281981277He was too good for the sword. Before you disagree you should remember Himmel and his team defeated the demon lord despite not being the chosen ones.
>>281981277What other anons have stated, OR the sword's purpose wasn't to defeat the demon king like Himmel did. The manga implies that several demons are acting from beyond the grave.
>>281983222They treat him saving lives and defeating evil as the greatest thing ever, you pseud. Not using the sword is a cherry on top as it removes an element of external obligation.
>>281985573>OR the sword's purpose wasn't to defeat the demon kingthe sword was never stated to be able to defeat the demon king, only that whoever pulled it is the legendary hero
>>281981277I'm guessing it was waiting for someone who could solo the demon king, which Himmel was not strong enough to do.
the sword was meant for frieren, she's the main character. but she let himmel have the glory
>>281981570WRONGIt's to show that defeating the Demon King was unironically a team effort.
didn't have enough primos
>>281986463That and the Demon King was actually NOT the great evil that would require the legendary hero.More than likely its the human Emperor who will become the great evil that a hero will need to pull the sword, not to use it to kill one person, but to get people to follow it. And probably that Hero is one of Fern and Stark's children or grandchildren.
>>281986138I guess the legendary hero was destined to do something else
>>281981277King Arthur's copyrights
>>281981277NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOME RANDOM GUY DEFEATED THE DEMON KING INSTEAD OF THE CHOSEN HERO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. kill yourself
>>281981277The sword is meant to be pulled by the legendary hero who will save the world from a great darkness. The Demon King was the greatest threat that the world knew at the time, but that doesn't mean he's the greatest darkness that the world will ever face.The sword is waiting for a more epic, greater threat to the world. Count yourself lucky that it happens in the future, and not in your lifetime. There will come a time when the sun no longer rises, when humanity is reduced to a single fortress city whose defenses are worn down battle by battle every day. A world where demons have come into the fullness of their power, and mankind's great works are empty shells that dot the ruined landscape. A world where hope and courage are a precious, dwindling resource. That is when the hero's sword is meant for.
>>281986612> the great evil has descended upon the world> everyone looks up at the sky in horror as, in the middle of the day, sometime covers up at the sun and plunges the day into endless night> in a crowd of terrified humans, Kraft looks at the apocalypse and lets out a weary sigh> "I should go find my sword."
>>281981277Not his fate.
Because the legend of "whoever pulls this sword is the true hero" is made up. Point of Himmel is that even if you're the right guy in the right situation, it doesn't mean you were chosen by fate. Sometimes you can be a hero just because you're the guy that chose to be the guy.
>>281981277He's a Souls player. He went to face the boss in hard mode without equipment.
>>281987305That would be epic if it really is Kraft- or his buddies- sword.
>>281982644>>281981277I think it was to show that the sword wasn't all that special.It was powerful for sure but it wasn't meant to be the "sacred weapon of prophecy", people just believed it was.Anything could kill the demon king, probably even a knife, it's just that THAT sword was so powerful that it could reasonably kill him. It was the equivalent of a nuke for a last-case scenario.It wasn't waiting for someone worthy, it was waiting for the demon king himself
>>281981277the sword didn't like his annoying voice
>>281981277He doesn't need a special sword to be a hero.
