Seasonal death counter: 3 (+0, This really is a good time to add to this counter, Subaru. Things are already looking pretty grim as they are, you don’t want that save point moving now!)
So the archbishop wasn’t actually a dragon (even though they have the blood of one), they were a damned shapeshifter! Anyone who had to deal with Orin and her gang of shape-changing murderers in BG3 knows how annoying those things can get.
Capella really asking the “Would you still love me if I was a worm?” question except literally. Regulus is pretty interesting, he’s relatively “sane” compared to the rest of the bunch, he’s just an absolutely awful egoistical asshole who was given demigod level of power so no one can say “no” to him. It really makes his just so very hateable even when compared to the rest of his already hard to like comrades.
This really is a good time to add to this counter, Subaru.
By now, he should have a good idea of how his restarting ability works.
Makes me wonder why he doesn’t keep a weapon for ease of suicide with him like the MCs of Edge of Tomorrow and Webtoon Character Na Kang Lim.
The simplest guess I have is that he is too dumb to realize it.
Yeah, I’ve wondered that too. He doesn’t even really need a weapon either, just spill his secret and he gets an instant heart attack anyways. Unless I forgot some detail from Season 1 (I very well could, it has been a long while) there is no penalty for suicide over getting killed and with how gruesome most of his deaths are he really could use an easy way out.
I had this conversation with a friend last weekend about how I’d enjoy the show multitudes more if Kazuma of konosuba and Subaru switched places. Not saying Subaru isn’t protagonist material, but saying that growth for him is slow doesn’t begin to describe it.
And for all of Kazuma’s faults, he’s nothing if not a clever schemer.
For all of Subaru’s faults, man has a determination that I don’t think Kazuma would have. One particularly gruesome death would likely be all it took for him to fuck off to a far away place and turn this show into a slice of life (at least until the now unchecked witch cult ran rampart and caught up to him). Subaru might not be the cleverest, but despite some truly sanity-shattering things happening to him he just keeps going.
I agree with all points, each of these characters has been fleshed out enough that it’s simple enough to know that Kazuma would take one bad death and instantly NEET himself into a hole as fast as possible… and if anything would somehow get himself in a death softlock where he likely couldn’t progress… but if the story was written in a way where Kazuma was the main protagonist and the various needs to get him moving were placed before him, I believe it’d be many times more enjoyable to watch than the understandably determined Subaru.
If Kazuma wasn’t able to hole up and was plot railroaded on like it sometimes seems Subaru is, I think he’d figure out the best (quick/painless) ways to reset himself and generally move things along at a better clip.
More importantly than that though, his understanding of the death system would lead to WAAAAAAY worse checkpoints. He’s not the kind of guy to act with any care given to consequences when he knows that death is a quick reset away from whatever he does. The actual timeline for Kazuma would be cursed to the point that his actions assuming no consequences would probably be the thing to get him softlocked in a horrible ending of constant death.
Gotta remember Satella killed Emelia before his from Zero loop, that shit is traumatic. Though course since he’s interacted with Satella during the tea party I feel like it’s fair to think she might not punish him anymore? I can’t remember Subaru actually getting punished since then but I didn’t re-watch season 2 so it’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen it now.
Im pretty sure he died more in the books. Its been awhile though.Spoilers for the rest of S3
No, the 3 deaths to Sirius at the start are the only deaths for the rest of this arc.
My perception on his deaths is probably screwed from the newer arc where its quiet a bit lol.
Yeah after arc 7 & 8 it’s hard to keep track
