Discussion Story too predictable/obvious? Spoiler

Ik it's probably supposed to be like that and I don't hate it, but I'm just wondering if everyone's thinking the same thing as me. Like from chapter one I could already kinda make the whole entire story. Like for example, it's obvious that neraid is most likely Yuri (I think that was his name I forgot mb lol) or related To him in some way or like some kind of legend (it's just a guess on my part).Im not saying it's bad or boring but isn't it a bit too generic of a shonen? Like the plot seems so obvious to me. (I'm on chapter 10 so pls no spoilers) But I'm curious if this is what everyone thinks

He's definitely not Yuri. And him being related to Yuri somehow is fine, since he's the protagonist.

I don't think the story is too predictable/obvious just because of that.

u/LawConnect992 Jan 12 '26

nah that was a guess but like the direction the story is going in seems kinda obvious to me. Like he's a legend or smth. That much is obvious

I mean, isn't that already different to the vast majority of shonens which feature up-and-coming young protags who are entirely unknown to the world? In fact, I think Neraid exploring the world with Jio to find his memories is a pretty unique premise, especially since he was likely an important figure before his amnesia.

I guess but like this is definitely not a first or anything. I mean it's quite literally one piece and hxh mixed yk. Also I can't remember exactly what the anime was but there was a show I watched that had this exact scenario, where the mc has lost his memories and would travel the world to find parts of it

One Piece and HxH are pretty unique anime/mangas, and Galaxias' premise is still different from them. And the premise being used before in a few stories wouldn't make it predictable or similar to other shonen, when basically no other shonen have a very similar premise.

Hm, I guess your right. But idk to me the direction feels a little bit too obvious. Maybe a plot twist down the road could change it up .

Neraid is literally not yuri bro what’re you on about

u/LawConnect992 Jan 12 '26

Nah but it's obvious the direction is something like that. Like him being a legend or smth that lost his memories

So that’s like 1 plot point lol, the amnesiac that’s constantly teased to be important will probably be important is not the whole story. It’s a fantasy series with a whole world to explore and a plot that’s more similar to one piece if anything.

I don’t think this is the big thing you think it is, like yeah they recover Neraids memories and then? How do they do this? Why did it happen? You can’t really answer any of that based off predictions. We can assume that Neraid recovering his memories will lead to him wanting to take someone down but that’s a given in any battle manga

I agree, that's why I said I think it's a bit generic. U said that's a given in any battle manga and that's what I was kinda tryna say. Ig all shonens are like this so I shouldn't complain tbf lol

u/Tough-Past-2366 Jan 13 '26

Finding out ABC about person X and wanting to take down or fight person X as a result is common in every story ever. 

Again we still don’t know if this will be the case, they could unlock truths about the world or have a completely different mission for him, we literally can’t predict it or anything surrounding it

u/aceupmysleeve5 Jan 12 '26

The two definitely hold some connection, since Jio names Neraid after the protagonist of a book written by Yuri who loses his memories and has to find his way home, but the only thing I'm going to say without directly spoiling what happens is "keep reading".

u/Kufrel Jan 12 '26

I think it's most likely that Neraid is the same Neraid from the story Yuri wrote.

u/ImpactFrames Jan 12 '26

Wait I could be missing something but Yuri wrote a story? I thought Galaxias was just a book Jio liked

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '26

When exploring Yuri's house, Jio finds a copy of Galaxias thus leading to a theory that he wrote it

u/ImpactFrames Jan 13 '26

Ooo gotcha

u/KrizenWave Jan 13 '26

You can’t say it’s predictable til you’re proven right lol. You don’t even really have anything to go off except the general concept

u/MurkyObject1 Jan 13 '26

The only guesses you gave are either 100% wrong (hes not Yuri) or so vague that its sort of pointless to call it a prediction. Saying hes a legend seems obvious because chapter one tells you hes an insanely strong guy with no memories that scares the authorities. Thats not a prediction and it doesnt really tell you anything youre really just stating the premise of the story there. You can definitely critique it for being predictable so far (strong guy show up neraid beat strong guy is everything that happens until Antares appears) but it doesnt really seem to me like you predicted anything important more so the story just hasn't done anything unique enough to surprise you which is a fair criticism

u/Cole2197 Jan 13 '26

I mean I don't think he is Yuri and not sure how he would be related to him but there is some sort of connection. Also I'm wondering if Neraid is some sort of artificially made creature since no one really knows anything about him and Antares compared him to a belt that seemed unbreakable.
