aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I hate "useless strong [female] character" trope. When author sets someone to have combat ability yet it will never come up.

 

[fateline]

dem cliffhanger.. that yato's dad is definitely a scumbag eh?

 

[Rin2k]

@Tcof extras are .5/.6, these chapters (.1/.2) are split (by the magazine I'd like to think) releases. This is commonly seen in the new Isekai/Tensei adaptations off web/light novels, but aren't mutually exclusive as seen in this manga.

 

[Tcof]

@kwendy what ? since when Hiyori even a character have strong combat ability ?
That never what her character suppose to be. She have some more strength compere to human yet but you think she is mean to be warrior, you need to check the whole story again

 

[kwendy]

@Tcof Pretty much since first chapter. With drop-kicking spirits and stuff.

 

[Tcof]

@kwendy man, Habe some tomboy hobby doesn't mean she will be THE VERY BEST. That none ever was

Nora looking different this chapter.

 

[IEMOZ]

@kwendy I definitely see where you are coming from, but I kinda disagree in this case specifically.
I really hate that in literature, but here Hiyori has gone from drop kicking mindless and insane spirits to a human who literally fights against gods.
Big difference imo that justifies it completely. The pets aren't something I'd expect her to even come close to winning against any time soon.

 

[kwendy]

@Tcof None the less those traits disappeared into oblivion and she is just a damsel at this point.
@IEMOZ This is not most distinct case of this trope, but still a case.

 

[Tcof]

@kwendy ok listen here, you FAIL completely to understand her role as a character.
That just for showing she a strong will of rightful and justice and not some cry baby. It never mean to be kick-ass. She is mean to be just as weak. but regardless the dangerous save the protagonist many time, and only her can save his soul. Because pure strength alone can't do any of what her did. What make it work because she is just helpless human and how much struggle against all this problem
It also showing in this chapter. She run straight to attack Yato's dad here even there is no logic way she can win. She hear he try to hurt them, that character spirits still right there. Open your eye.

 

[kwendy]

@Tcof Her role is emotional anchor for Yaboku. Nothing else. But she could be something more. That is my point.

@kwendy

Spoiler

 

[kwendy]

@Tcof Jurassic Park was only dangerous because the story needed conflict. And human eated by dinos.

 

[Tcof]

@kwendy Hmm... So you just saying manga need no conflict right ?

 

[kwendy]

@Tcof I say if there is potential it's a shame to waste it.
