>joke character is the main antagonist's greatest assetDo you enjoy it when a character who was originally treated as a gag-like addition ends up becoming the final hurdle or last boss?
that's the truth of both characters in your image though
>>282597451They foreshadow this way too hard and gives it all away without saying it directly.
>>282597540In the anime its very blatant sadly.
>>282597451Honestly I like when any gag-character proves their worth.Yokoshima went from buttmonkey sidekick to strongest humanShinsuke went from weak wannabe to mentor and paragon
>>282597451You mean Rudeus right? He’s an evil bastard alright wanting to destroy the world and all that jazz
>read slop>get slop
>>282597694Uncultured swine
>>282597762>KINO so absolute it kept the threads going for a whole week for whole arcGood times, shame that the series fucked up with the final arc and failed "sequel"
>>282597676That's true.
>>282597451He was more than joke character from start
>>282597540>>282597597does it? if not for those threads i would have no idea what monkey man is supposed to betbf i didnt watch s2 yet, so maybe there is something there
>>282597762>>282599193I fucking hate editors
>>282597451
>>282601438its just shitposting you wouldn't know that, although the coincidences do add up eventually, I guess the first coincidental thing is this guy JUST HAPPENING to be in the same village and getting thrown in the same cell but you could write that off as a simple character introduction arc and Paul asking him to find his family but it is weird how coincidental it is when you think about it.Then for example in the future(not in the anime yet) there's an arc where Rudeus fights a dude who uses mana absorbing stones from the hydra they defeated in S2. And that hydra is very unique and you can make a connection that he got those somehow from Geese. Its never too apparent but it does nag you sometimes that there's more to his character even in the anime.
>>282601922What did the editor do?
>>282602329exist
>>282602448can't argue with that
>>282602448Can't get published without an editor.
>>282601986fucking monkey
>>282599193>shame that the series fucked up with the final arc and failed "sequel"How?
>>282602485monkey's paw
giwtwm
>>282602886For the writer or us?
>>282597451he's a terrible antagonist, he doesnt care about it and rudy doesnt care about opposing him eithersame with badineither side cares about this conflict so it's feels fucking hollow and stupid, then this retarded shonen protag shows up and gets off panel'd by orstedworst ending to a series ive seen in a while
Name 5 times this happens
>>282597451Yeah, love this trope.
