Not arguing that, but you could hear all of their big, weighty footsteps the entire time they were in the mansion. Security seemed like a joke if they could stealth like that and get away with it, and the few they did fight put no appreciable resistance (flame sword). It just looked like this was a very easy mission with or without.
True enough. It didn't look like any of the goons even tried to use the children as hostages. On the other hand, half of the crooks were already offed by the animal ears ninja, which left less work to do for the elves. However, she's also a part of that world, so she can't be used against your argument, more or less. She would have been there, with Arc or without Arc.Originally Posted by neflight86
Almost forgot about her. I could complain about the coincidence that they call their sec ops spy/assassin types 'ninjas' too (not shinobi, strangely) in this isekai world, but then I'd have to reconcile not being annoyed with everyone already speaking perfect Japanese... and I forgot this was based on a video game.
Episode 5
-- - - - -
At least Arc emptied the marquis's coffers. Otherwise the man would have escaped with nary a punishment. Losing his treasury will hurt, though. Of course he could raise taxes, but that would make all the people unhappy, which would have its consequences. Other nobles, bankers, and merchants might also take advantage of him while his pockets are empty. Unless the two freed elf slaves castrated him, Arc's way of punishing him was the heaviest.
The elves are pretty lenient, though. Even the waste of skin son was left alive and free. If the elves don't dictate harsh terms in future negotiations, the slavers will keep doing what they have been doing. Assuming the elves aren't actually fearful of an invasion by the humans.
I laughed so hard when Arc took the money the elf offered.
Everyone would just say "naaah, keep it", but my man is basically roleplaying a proper DnD Rogue.
Every episode starts and I'm like "Content warning again?", and then every episode there's just a liiiiiittle bit of elf rape...
An exceptionally sensitive localisation editor. I hope he/she didn't need to visit a psychiatrist after watching the episodes. Although I bet the person has been visiting one for their whole life anyway. Chipping a fingernail probably left the doofus with a PTSD.
Or, ya know, one who's job it is to be sensitive to the audience.
I like the ninja girl.
Peace.
Me too actually.
I like the design - somewhat generic but still rather detailed.
Seeing that she isn't bothered by it when she is slicing everyone up while they are asleep makes her kinda awesome as well.
puffy fluffy ears and tail is a big plus of course.
One good thing about the ninja girl is that she didn't immediately become Arc's follower. She has her own thing going on, she can do it on her own, so she left to pursue it. She shared some info because it served her purposes as well, but that's it. I guess I shouldn't blame Ariane for wanting to keep Arc around considering his power is beyond her comprehension, he's amiable, and willing to help the elves. So, it would be idiotic not to try to make him a very good friend of the elves. Nevertheless, she must realise that next to him, she will look like the lesser party member.
I mean, she definitely WILL be his follower though, cause she's in the ED with the rest of them.
Wouldn't Arc technically be the follower since it is their goal he is helping with?
Peace.
Technically yes, but he's vastly more powerful, plus, in the end, he's the MC. If you consider this episode, it was pretty much Arc who handled the whole case. Ariane herself would have probably found it difficult just to get past the castle gates. However, in Arc's company she doesn't really even need to come up with elaborate plans, let alone contingency plans, because Arc is so powerful and can heal & teleport. If they do things Arc's way, due to using his powers, then it's difficult to say Ariane would be the party leader, even if it's her mission.
Was it ever explained how Arc eats? Isn't he just a skeleton? Won't the food and drinks just pass through and seep out of his armor?
Peace.
He's not an undead, though. He just looks like a skeleton. Wasn't it a skeleton skin for the player character, or something? I can't quite remember.
Ep1 and 2 he's been shown eating and drinking with no such problems.
I like the skin/apparence idea. Simple explanation.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
They got around this by drawing a thick neck rather than drawing him with just a cervical vertebral column. How this works physiologically, who knows. I'm in the "it's just a skin" camp.
I'm also with Kraco in that this feels more different than similar to Overlord. Overlord for me is more about Ainz running his organisation, management of his underlings and the display of his vassal's powers and mostly unyielding loyalty/expectations. His fights have plans proportional to the number of buffs he has.
OP characters are quite usual for isekai so that doesn't really count for me. Being a skeleton is a similarity, as is the incoherence between their inner thoughts and the way they act, but everything else feels quite different. This guy wings his fights, even if he's trying to be "careful" against the Basilisk. I don't know why he was trying to do that anyway. The "careful" thing to do would have been to stay at a distance and Wyvern slash it to death instead of tanking hits.

He seems like a real skeleton in the bath.
And Ponta slept INSIDE his rib cage.
