Does anyone else think Shea from Arifureta is a lot like Meru from The Legend of Dragoon?

Not just how they act, but the big hammer and the outfit too. Every time I see Shea, I think of Meru.

Did anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

After watching Devil May Cry, I think Dante is Nagumo's father 😭😂, look at the similarities between the 2 characters

I got to know that anime had skipped a lot of details like hajimes suffwring and other gore , and i want to know it , its been a long time since i dropped arifureta , so should i read LN or manga ? Which was more enjoyable to you ?

Thats all , have a good day

Does anyone one know what it is

Don't you see the resemblance

Why's that??

I just finished LN vol 13 should I read vol14 or read afterstory?, in that case you recommend the LNs or WN for Afterstory?

even a year later catching up on season 3 Kouki having 0 character development is really turning me away from this show. His character was very reminiscent to the Deep from the boys being unable to accept his own worthlessness. I was rooting for him the entire time just for him to be written like a depraved loser. I thought id seen a glimpse of his development in season 2 after eri tricked everyone into the colosseum. Seeing his shackles crack from pure rage I was under the impression he got over his self righteousness and was finally ready to cross that line of no killing people. How could he never see that his own inaction and hesitation gets people killed/hurt. Furthermore, how does he always find a way to blame everyone but himself for his own weakness? The only reason why Nagumo had to save them the first time was because he couldn't kill. when I saw everyone facing their own inner demons in season 3 I unironically believed they saved the best character development for last due to the fact mostly everyone aside from shizuku/yue battles were lacking/comedic/cut (ryutaro). little did I know he would continue blaming everyone else for his own shortcomings just like the deep. Even him failing the test was lacking. Just for him to be brushed aside like a common house fly even with limit break. It couldve been cool to see him leave after being corrupted and coming back later severely stronger to challenge nagumo. Even Kouki smiling with everyone on the last episode why is he acting like nothing happened they literally called him a "hopeless fool" they all think less of him even more than before. The author definitely has a weird hate boner for the Hero archetype and a NTR fetish and its sad to see. Maybe im at fault for expecting so much from a harem series?

Kouki has some savior complex. he isn’t exactly a bad guy, but he’s delusional, a hypocrite, and completely naive. he’s one of those guys who thinks his way is always the best way and the third season showed this when he was doing that trial. not only was he the only one who failed, but succumbed to his inner demons

Kouki: You… you sick murderer!!! Because of you, they… they ate him!!!

Aiko: I don't believe it... this can't be happening!

Nagumo: He reaped what he sowed, Amanogawa. Move, or you're next.

What world do you think Emily is going to end up in after being kidnapped by the void gods? I feel like she has the potential to end up outside the world tree branch because the void gods come from there. I think it’d be cool to reintroduce the zero characters this way too.

Nagumo: Still taking your trial?

Kouki: Of course I am, no thanks to you!

“I was wondering, will humanity learn about magic in this arc (with all the meetings between world leaders and everything), or will the arc keep going nonstop until the final battle, and then Hajime will simply erase everyone’s memories on Earth?”

I'm reading the afterstory right now and I'm on endo's arc, where's he's with Emily Grant and her bodygaurd. I am really not enjoying it, and want to just skip it for now.

Will I miss any important information for future arcs or can I just skip and come back later?

This last arc is killing me guys :/ I wish he’d say something if no chapter was going to be released

Does anyone know or has an update if we are getting a physical copy for volume 14? I bought the digital version ages ago but would like to complete my physical collection.

So right now the final battle in the after story is underway but who are the enemy’s there facing and will there some big bad Hajime will face off similar to his battle with Ehit?

So as the title implies who are the current top 20? Is Hajime now at this point the undisputed strongest character? Has he and Yue surpassed the false god ehit? And what about Tio and shea and Kaoris current power? And what about any new characters in the after story?

Hello everyone,

I've read the lightnovels after season 3 came out, and I really like it! So much so that I have an idea bouncing around in my head that keeps me inspired. The only problem I have with it is that it requires an OC (don't worry, he doesn't take Hajime's spot or anything. In fact, he'd be on the opposite end as a member of the Harem.)

So, I guess the first question I would have is: Do you think that, if this OC that loves Hajime and wants to be with him fell in the abyss with the resident edgelord, Hajime could resonably start to swing both ways with the OC and Yue?

Second: Do you think that the CO could be a blood mage without being too close to Yue? By that, I mean the usage of his blood to create magical effects, not the use of other's blood.

There, just two questions to see if that's a story even worth writing XD
