He's a trickster, quite commonly seen in different mythologies across the world.
>>284771897Mary Sue.
>>284772950He would be if he didn't eat shit constantly.
If you mean the smug bastard master ruseman that everyone dislikes side, then Trickster.Dies Irae(the VN) has one that is even voiced by the same guy(and his best friend is also voiced by Duck's best friend), but it takes like 2 routes until he finally shows up.

>>284771897"Are You Frustrated?" -- Chinese Puppet Edition
>>284773016>>284773363His losses are inconsequential.
>>284774666Satan...
>>284774983Everything is inconsequential to him, I doubt he would even care if he dies as long as he gets a rise out of it. Duck goes in trying to duck the Demon King (a more ancient version of himself). I vaguely emember reading one of Urobuchi's interviews that Duck is someone who doesn't act on weighing losses or net gain, he is willing to do anything to get amusement like sacrificing a horde of wealth he amassed just to destroy Fox's pride.
>>284771897>I wish there were more characters like him.Here's one, too bad his screen time is too short.

>>284774200
>maou could've won if he did the soul succ right away>got taunted into it by duck instead and succed the wrong dude and lost
>>284778663The point was Maou rejected everything Duck was until he was goaded into accepting Duck by Duck midway into their duel
>>284771897He's more or less a traditional trickster, just without any grand plan because his motivation was always to just have fun.As other anon mentioned, the closest thing to him is Mercurius from dies irae, with the main difference being that Mercurius actually had a grand plan.
>>284779068that's what i'm saying. maou got played hard. the fact that he expelled duck in the first place was probably what made him so easy to trick.
This webm got me into this series.
>>284779698>A FUCKING STICK
>>284775106Duck getting Ducked by Fox and then true love was absolute cinema. Then his needing to get serious because he fucked up after being Ducked by true love and threw the idols away, was further cinema. But the best part was either his sheer fucking glee at finally having a chance to Duck himself, and the joke that he would have gloried in witnessing Locust get Ducked but missed it entirely.
>>284771897The Gary Stu archetype.
What would locust have done if denka failed to awaken bard (which she very nearly did)? The demons would know he betrayed them and the alliance would be off, but he would still be able to absorb the swords. Would kamen rider meikou be enough to take on a demon god?
>>284780300>failed almost every ruse he was trying to doI don't think you know what it means, anon...
>>284771897Characters with petty and obscure motivations that trip up everyone else in pursuit of them.
If you think about it, Azibelpher inadvertently ended the peace in the demon realm by allying with Locust and letting Duck get in contact with Maou. If it weren't for Duck the invasion would've failed and Maou would just sink back into the demon realm and everything would be back to the way it was. In some way he did restore the demon realm to its chaotic state.

How do I get into this show? It seems like one of those things that's so heavily built on memes and cultism that it's impossible to access, like RWBY.
>>284782683here's an idea: you start with the first episode. when you finish that, you try watching number 2. after that, though, I have no idea. the other numbers are a secret.
>>284782683season 1 episode 1 retard
>>284782722>>284782735when do I get to the part that explains why that guy is a duck?
>>284782771the last movie explains it but you need to have watched all the seasons to get it
>>284782771You don't because that part is heavily built on memes and cultism.

I have not watched anything beyond s3
>>284783848Save a few highlights, S4 and the final movie were very rushed and messy. Watch them if you want the conclusion to the story, but you already experienced the best it has to offer.
>>284784045>Save a few highlights, S4 and the final movie were very rushed and messy.It sucks that S4 + S5 were planned for a full 24-26 total episodes but it was cut down to 12 episodes and a movie with an equivalent runtime to about 3 or 4 episodes, essentially half the content was cut out.>>284775213The demons like this guy really got shafted with the cuts, really wish the demon council actually had more episodes to flesh them out and shine.
>>284775106Found it:https://thunderboltfantasytranslations.wordpress.com/2025/05/18/febri-magazine-thunderbolt-fantasy-season-4-urobuchi-gen-long-interview/>Urobuchi: And since weâre doing it, I thought about making him a great Demon Lord with a little evil. Make it the soft spot that the Demon Lord ripped out, not to become good, but to become truly evil. Having ripped it out, however, it turned out to actually be a very deep part, the very essence of demonkind. Without evil, it was the desire to play around in the form of what you could call an animalistic instinct. To tease and toy with [others], like a cat with a mouse. Removing evil other than the kind that is born from ambition and the desire for control, you get LÇn XuÄ YÄ. (laughs) In other words, he is a form of the Demon Lord that lacks the evil which comes with rationality. He is a character defined by ignoring profit and loss calculations and the consequences for power relationships and just doing bad things because itâs fun.Duck doesn't care about losses as long as he gets amusement out of it, considering he was also originally based on the Joker (also per Urobuchi's words), he would gamble his very life if it got him a good enough high.

Cute demonesses.....
>>284771897characters like him are usually gary stus who always have things go their way in anime/manga, I really liked how he would get often btfo and have his schemes ruined
Even if Duck was a Gary Stu (he isn't) who gives a fuck if the character/show are entertaining? Are you so TV Trope brained that you think a really entertaining and fun character being a "Gary Stu" somehow invalidates him/the show?
>>284771897>What archetype even is he?Asshole.
>>284774666Truly one of the show's crowning moments. I will never get over how savagely BTFO he was, or how utterly buttblasted he became because of that.
>>284786725I like how 10guy legitimately outplayed Duck in the quest for the divine sword>Duck thinks he's smart by stealing the real hilt from Tan Hi and hides it, while bringing along 3 co-conspirators>betrays the group to make a deal with 10guy in his tower intending to swipe the blade half of the sword 10guy has, 10guy gloats about his sword collection and shows him the vault where he's keeping the blade>tells Shou where the real hilt is to get his trust and have Shou be the decoy to lure 10guy away from the tower>10guy knowing that Duck is a shady thief cuts a secret deal with the co-conspirators and keeps the blade on him>bringing the co-conspirators backfires on Duck as they follow Tan Hi and Ken to the real hilt after Shou let's her know where it is>Duck cracks open the vault after SPK cuts down a bunch of 10guy's goons and the rest go to escorts 10guy with Shou, finds out the blade piece isn't there and realizes he's been had, rushes over to the shrine>10guy gets his magic divine sword trophy with Duck wondering why he wasn't disappointed with the truth behind it, resorts to take 10guy's true pride with brute force and toys with him>10guy seethes but dies laughing spiting Duck
>>284771897He's a Silly Goose (duck)
You guys think they'll do anything big fod the 10th anniversary next summer?
>>284789346Extremely unlikely since the franchise was axed instead of just naturally ending, but maybe we'll get some kind of short or art.
>>284780221I don't remember him saying much about it afterward but would Duck seethe that the greatest Duckening ended up pulled off by the no-nonsense straight-man he'd seen as a source of entertainment for so long or would he simply have respect for the sheer Duckening that happened?
>>284789346I could see maybe a short anniversary bit or art, but I don't think we'll see something like a movie.
Someone should make webms of the movie fights, especially of Duck vs Maou in the darkness
>>284786772duck is a gary stu like akagi in that even though he is seemingly perfect, everything he does is so entertaining that it doesn't matter
>>284792327>duck is a gary stu like akagi in that even though he is seemingly perfectWe've been over this literally constantly this thread, Duck fucked up multiple times and in massive ways.Akagi is correct though, except that he lost in the end.
>>284792327he failed like 3 of his 5 or 6 schemes and those were literally his solitary goal in life
>>284793487Imagine spending 8-10 episodes scheming just to get BTFO, small fry moment
>>284793546the fact he gets fucking mad and seethes HARD when his plans fail is one of my favorite aspects of the character. he'd only be half as entertaining if he laughed it off or went "erm actually this failure is also a part of my grand design".

>>284784628This, the first three seasons were so good and it was clear there was a very deliberate structured story being told before S4/the movie had to speedrun to the end, cutting off a lot of character arcs/backstories/other side plots.I still loved S4 and the movie for their own reasons, but I'll forever be salty that they didn't get the time they needed to really be perfect.

>>284798597He is kinda pathetic though, if you boil down the Enigmatic Gale, he's nothing but a hedonist who creates overcomplicated schemes to get off
>>284798597He absolutely appears pathetic to the audience, multiple times. To the point where a lot of fans were looking forward to him fail again so they could watch him seethe.As it is, his actions and failures have caused major damage before, and in the case of S1, his actions could've literally caused the end of the world or at least a large swath of the country if Shou hadn't come back around and saved his stupid ass.

>>284782771You go onto desuarchive and find a single thread where his name was mistranslated as a duck, only to correct that mistake later in the same thread.
>>284786719
>>284800489hey, that name is far less ambiguous
>>284784628>>284797924What happened with that, anyway? Their funding fell through or something?
I'm hoping that Urobuchi works on a new puppets-related show set in cyberpunk China
>>284800678>Their funding fell through or something?This is definitely what happenedI think the last season they got out was supposed be 2 cours or a 5th season
>>284800678All I remember seeing is a line from urobutchi in an interview saying that 'the situation overseas changed' and season 5 was cancelled.I feel like it couldn't just be down to funding considering how much of a niche project it was from the start but still managed to get so many episodes.
>>284800856Well that's ominous. Just saying "overseas" is pretty vague, but I have to assume that it would involve a new difficulty in collaborating with a Taiwanese company. But if there really was some kind of legal or even political matter, I can understand his reticence to say more.
>>284800678Likely funding, but both Pili and Urobuchi seemed to be tight lipped about the exact reason why S4 + S5 got cut short to basically half of what was originally planned back when S3 was developed. Outside of 4chan, very few people have even heard of Thunderbolt Fantasy and if they have they probably just vaguely know it's some funny puppet show that for some reason has Sawano's music.
>>284776068Strange. I do not recall writing this text, yet I cannot imagine anyone but myself writing it.
>>284801506
>>284797665Duck will forever be seething.
>>284784628>>284797924Maou needed more time on screen, he's supposed to be the big bad king of all demonkind and being Duck's main adversary in the finale, but he has barely scenes. The whole demon plotline getting cut down really hurt him, at least with Azibelpher and Locust we got some insight on them in Season 3.>Maou gets a few lines in the demon court meeting>his only big time on screen in Season 4 is when Locust meets him and he explains why he pulled back during the War of Fading Dusk>in the movie he gets a short scene talking with Azibelpher before Duck confronts him with illusions of his court members admonishing his rulership for the past two centuries>then we get to the confrontation between Maou and Duck
>>284774666satans of truth
Favorite season? For me it's S3, mainly due to Gunha and Duck's whole scheme. Shou using an actual sword in the final fight was cool too.

>>284802414S3 is where we get the general rally all the Goons to fight against the demons right? that was the best part of the show for me
>>2848024141
>>284802791Same.
>>284801935Yeah his duality with duck and how important that bit of (according to butcher) 'instinctual evil/playfulness' was to him as a whole was interesting and it would've been great to see it play out in a longer season, as it is now, he really just didn't have enough time to make his presence feel known, almost on the same level as the other demon nobility who got offed all too quickly.
>>284802414Honestly I liked S2 most, especially for how fantastic the finale was, including the fight where Duck is controlling Shou with the Night of Mourning, after it had basically been written off by all the viewers as a shitty dud sword compared to 7BD.
>>284771897>archetype even is he?>>284772148>>284772905he's a vaping duck.

>>284794896>>284795019that just looks like Outdoor Camp Isekai, anon.
>>284802620Iago. He's basically the archetypal trickster villain doing it for the lulz/shits and giggles.
>>284802414Probably s1 and the SPK movie for SPK related reasons. Although >>284802251 in s2 was definitely one of the best scene of the show for me. I couldn't stop laughing, Duck's unexpected misery genuinely brightened my life for days. I also loved the monk's character arc.
so is meikou the way he is because of sho kun rin? are his magic abilities also a side effect of her thottery?
>>284774666KINOOOOOOOOOOthis was a peak of the series. I honestly wish we saw more of him. Just seeing this grin just now made me bust out laughing
did fox even realize he got ducked?
>>284804709Yes, he knew that Duck had totally outschemed him and screwed up his status permanently, even if he may not have known all the details of how he did it. He's just shameless enough that he doesn't wallow in humiliation when it happens, just 'ok, well, onto the next money-making plan'
>>284802414S2You can see most of the stuff is coming but it's still all satisfying.You get the most mundane Duck antics that are infuriating and amusing at the same time, like when he just waltzes into pic related scene, then it blows up in his face.The finale is world-threatening and I'm satisfied with the outcomes for all the characters.Even Bard had a more entertaining blood hound edge to him.Fox is my favorite antagonist.Monk is beautiful.His/Story and Roll The Dice.
>>284801935Maou was so lame that I was positively surprised that he didn't get his ass kicked in seconds by Duck in the movie, like he does actually have prowess. He did get owned in the end.
>>284801935Duck had the most absolutely fucking glorious ENTER moment in the movie. Sheer perfection lounging on Maou's throne with probably the smuggest shit-eating vape grin.
>>284802414S2 because of Fox, Fox x Duck shenanigans, Monk x 7BD kino, Scorpion feels, Bard and the guitar's introduction and great OP/DE.S1 always felt like something was missing, and S3 didn't make me as hyped as S2, even with great scenes like BAN GUNHA.
>>284802414Movie _2
>>284771897I should rewatch this series.
>>284805385>I was positively surprised that he didn't get his ass kicked in seconds by Duck in the movie, like he does actually have prowess.He's literally the original Duck, if the movie fight between the two is anything to go by, he's Duck's equal in actual combat prowess. Duck had to get his guard down then ambush him from behind to win that duel.
>>284805798He should be, but I also half expected some kind of humiliation ritual about how he's been weakened by the long peace (probably from seeing the nobles go down).
>>284802886Just because of Ban Gun Ha. Ban Gun Ha can't make the entire show, you are ignoring too many non Ban Gun Ha events.

>>284805994
>>284784628>really wish the demon council actually had more episodesI think Butcher should've had half of the demon council already be dead by the time s4 stared to give more time to the other demons.Maybe best dad could've started killing demons to steal their relics, but another demon also started doing the same and we have to figure out who.
>>284806036He was probably my favourite but he just died. But at least the demon lady is still around, I concur with >>284776068

>>284805780Crescent Cutlass Duet single: never ever
>>284771897Duck wouldn't be duck without sho on his side. Of all the characters posted here Duck alone stands at the epitome of enjoyment for me. In fact I generally find others annoying. Maybe izaya from durarara counts? I find him annoying too.
>>284804568That's the excuse but I don't buy that rumor, Rou and his mom should be from the same lineage. Unfortunately Locust's backstory is a mystery, there was some mention of him becoming a recluse after receiving an oracle years ago but I assume that plot point wasn't elaborated on due to the cut.
>>284802414Hard to say, I like S3's climax the most but S1's overall plot was nice. But S2's characters were amazing. S4 would be really high if they actually got to complete it as intended.
>>284806139Don't post my nemesis, he's mine nemesis.
>>284771897Meta vampire? Consistently he was only interested in murdering murderers.
>>284806203
>>284806222It helps when these kinds of smug characters aren't shown as totally infallible and sometimes fail in their plans. Also as you say, they need to have good characters to play off of, in this case Shou (and also many of the series villains)
>>284802414Season 2Probably because of the characters and song
>>284771897God I just saw the final movie.What the most magnificent thief he pulled. Why, yes, I just stole my own soul back from myself.I shudder to imagine what level of mind fuckery would have happened if Gen Urobuchi had been able to make 5 seasons instead of 4 and a movie.
>>284777902
>>284785597>>284786550While I yearn for the Season 5 we will never get, his ending was fitting of the character.Aim to become the absolute power deciding WHAT is good & evil, Put his soul into swords to become the absolute sword ruling all,Get sent to a world where swords are no big deal,It would be no different if they had just said the Sage's world simply don't have magic.
>>284787773nta, but yes, it IS funny that despite Duck being the absolute trickster, he was in fact outplayed at every turn by 10guy.
>>284802414S2 by far.It takes over what could to some look like a deus ex machina, and show how much of a problem it is to carry that along.Every character are turned over their head.S3 did have a high point with Duck's trick, and since it neatly conclude S2 I consider it direct continuity.
>>284808576
>>284802414S1
>>2848024141 is really tight since it had to be a self-contained story, and pretty much always has at least 1 hype moment per episode.
>>284802414S1 is by far the best written, the characters are all well developed, the story is interesting, there's mystery and the story has a clear start, middle and end while being self contained in one season.
>>284808514Duck straight up identity thefts Maou thinking about it
>>284802414Season 1. It was the just a perfect complete adventure story which introduced all the elements of the world and utilized them perfectly. Season 3 gets close because of Ban Gunha.S1 > S3 > S2 > S4
>>2848024142>1=3>4
>>284805792I want to rewatch this while showing friends puppetkino but the puppets are hard plebfilters for them and this one other friend separately did watch some a long time ago but already decided the setup in season 1 was bad and has put the show on indefinite hold. shame since it's not like they usually have such shit taste in most other things
>>284815061Agree with this order, and S2 and S4 are both still great. Honestly, the rushed pacing due to production issues would have ruined a lot of shows but I think Thunderbolt Fantasy kept its shit together remarkably well. Even the last movie was glorious and satisfying even as you could totally tell they had to speedrun through some things that obviously would have been longer scenes if the pacing was similar to S1-S3.
>>284815773Puppets really filter out most people, even a friend of mine who's an old TM Revolution fan was turned off by the puppets
>>284815708This my ranking too.

How was S4? Is it worth watching if I found S3 a bit running out of steam? (other than Gunha).
>>284816842S4 was okay, it was really hurt by trying to cram two seasons worth of material into one 12 episode season, it was definitely the weakest season due to these circumstances. If you thought S3 was already running out of steam, you'll probably not like S4 too much, but personally I'd say just watch it and the movie just to complete the whole series if you've already watched 39 episodes of puppetry. S4 is 12 episodes (not 13 like other seasons) and the final movie is 90 minutes.

>>284780422I think kaiju Locust was unstoppable, he probably was the strongest of them all, if it weren't for the last sword the world would've been under his rule.
>>284782683Anon just watch from the first episode and if you don't like the first 3 then just drop it.
>>284772148>Can always count on him to show up when you least expect himIs he though?
>>284806182I wish the other Pili shows weren't impossible to find in good resolution.
>>284825680>first 3The first one is enough, it's a fantastic first episode that sets the series up well
>>284791802Someone posted a webm on /wsg/ of Duck and Dark Duck fighting but I lost it.
>>284794896I always forget how big the puppets are, in my tiny brain they are as big as the average toy.
>>284825852I thought they're as big as big as a 1/8 figure at first.
>>284802414I consider S2's final battle the peak of the series.
>>284815773>>284816029Agree, I recommended the series to my brother but he's a dubfag so he ain't touching this. Some friends of mine got filtered by the puppets.
>>284823916We have realistic puppet feet

>>284823916
>>284825776The first scene is enough. Thunderbolt Fantasy has one of the best openers of anything I've ever seen.
>>284780422>Would kamen rider meikou be enough to take on a demon god?Yes, even one particularly powerful Shinkai Makai can defeat a demon god (as we see in S1 and it's mentioned in the keywords). Kamen Rider Locust is literally 20-30 Shinkai Makai put together, I presume he could use any of their abilities at will, but he saw no reason to go all out against Shou (and essentially drop magical wuxia nuclear bombs to kill one man) since nothing at that point could really do anything against him.>What would locust have done if denka failed to awaken bard (which she very nearly did)?I assume he would've just collapsed Maou's castle, he had the Mansei Shinpuku as part of his body, the demon gods would still need a way to deploy onto the surface world.
>>284798761She deserved a rereading of her poem at least but I love her end cause Duck treats her like a gf he's breaking up with.
>>284826408I hope he will surely show up again, somehow

Anyone miss when Ken-Sama was fighting with a spear?
>>284828632
>>284828696Based.
Mantis coin YTD status?
>>284829207
>>284828696If it wasn't limited to a movie I'd have loved to see him perform Tan technique with his spear, then he would have inserted himself into the Tan family if you see what I mean.
>>284824970I genuinely hope someone will make another collaboration with pili.
Thinking about it, Kasei MeikÅ end is even more tailored to him than I had imagined.He spent his entire life hiding his identity to other, even his daughter in some way.Meaning he would talk to absolutely no one with his true voice or identity.The only identity anyone knew of him was either as emperor, or as the divine swarm leader.Then suddenly he is cast away in a unknown country- he can't hide- no one will ever know him by any other identity- he has to talk to people himself
>>284771897The trickster archetype, OP
>>284798597He does end up looking like a retard to the audience
Reminder Duck did nothing wrong here
>>284775023the best part for me was hunting fox absolutely calling out gale on being high on his own farts, without having any sort of animosity to gale as he was ignorant to gale's part in the schemes. all of fox's shittalking wasnt shittalking, its just a matter of fact for him.
