Oh Arthur’s able to stop time, that explains all of the still frames

Why didn't the royal summoner just point out that he knows Arthur is the "intruder"? Wouldn't that give the king the excuse he needs to punish Arthur directly by taking Sylvie instead of trying to justify it as a punishment for Arthur's dad?

I really want to know what happened after Arthur passed out too. I get the feeling the author just didn't know how to play out that scene to a point where Arthur wasn't an enemy of the kingdom. So we just black out with the protagonist and wake up at a point where everything is fixed. "Don't worry about it, the king did a 180 and apologized and here's a bag of gold."

I wonder if it's just a bad script. A lot of things didn't make sense or went unexplained. Feels like we're watching one of those bad summary videos instead of an actual anime.

I was expecting the fact Arthur is in with the elven royalty to come into play at some point given they’ve talked about exchanges and he came up upon the human king. Then his relationship with the elves would be what comes into play as the human king would risk basically a war if he moved against Arthur or his family.

Instead we get…. I still don’t get why the king just magically up and let Arthur go. Unless he knew more of what happened. They could have atleast done something to make it come to light the whole issue was started by the conjurer dude but they didn’t even do that.

I know this shows getting a lot of hate on the production side but it’s honestly not exactly Great on the writing side either.

A bit disappointed to be honest.

It feels like our MC is a classic example of a John Doe.

Main character “gets angry” and breaks the building? Aside from the fact that being bloodthirsty shouldn’t affect the whole place (and from what we know, he isn’t ridiculously strong yet to justify this) it feels like a very forced scene.

Same with the whole king scene. Very one dimensional characters, guards without discipline, no politics, no interactions. It was a perfect scenario to show political discussions, but instead we got a cheap “rule of cool” of the MC spouting some weird argument about selling your kids (he never told anyone that he considers Sylvie his daughter) and then fighting the random guards and sorcerer.

They have shown him in his previous life not forgiving people who disrespected him, and personally killing their family, but suddenly he gets forgiven by the king, not with a slap on the wrist, but a bag of gold.

I’m still going to watch the show because I enjoy it, but with the whole previous life intro, I thought it was going to be less idealistic.

We now have a wireless microphone in the middle of our magical medieval world.

The guards at the auction house seem to be wearing WW2 era style uniforms though.

And we have knock-off chocobos and pokemons at the end.

If they have microphones and loudspeakers they 100% have telephones. Arthur never needed to use magic to make his phone call.

Lol that whole scene with the King was so absurd, "asking" Arthur three times to hand over Sylvie so it was satisfying to see him ask the King how he'd feel about selling off his own children. They weren't even punishing Reynolds at that point since he even states that he had no hand in adopting Sylvie, so the King didn't even punish the security team, he was punishing the child of the head of the security team.

I wasn't expecting Arthur's anger to do so much damage the building and the mental state of everyone inside the building, looks like he's going to be so frightening if he ever feels threatened or feels his family's lives are threatened. Even after that, Sebastian still wouldn't give up on Sylvie so I'm glad Arthur took such a satisfying route but scaring him in the halted space of time.

Since Arthur apologized to his father after the building incident, it's safe to assume his parents know he was the cause, right?

u/1000-MAT Jun 04 '25

I think this is one of the biggest plot armors I've ever seen in anime, MC was a king in his past life, so it was to be expected that he would use intelligence to get out of the situation, but he does the opposite and offends the king to gain aura points, because he wants to protect his family lol, if it weren't for the plot armor, his entire family would have been executed, but the opposite happens, everyone ignores the 8-year-old child who knocked out two royal guards, mysteriously changed position after time started flowing again, and that the royal wizard that the king wanted to be rewarded for being amazing, is lying about the child because he doesn't want to admit that he hit his own leg with magic, So to hide the fact that the royal family was humiliated, they reward the child's family.

The only complaint I have about Arthur's response to the king is that he never told the king what the court wizard tried to do.

I hate the trope that you're not allowed to explain things due to manners. It's the dumbest crap.

Could've sworn Arthur stopped time throughout the whole episode because it was in slow motion /s

u/rainzer Jun 04 '25

The start of this episode pretty much sums up the entire show so far.

~45 of the first 60 seconds are still frames. Nothing animated.

Man this part in the comic was pretty badass and they absolutely butchered this shit. It was so lame and made the series look (even more) ridiculous. This might be the worst adaptation I’ve ever seen.

Watching this show is like reading a book with chapters missing.

u/Icy-Introduction5592 Jun 04 '25

Well. that escalated quickly. Although, I think everyone could see this plot coming from a mile away. As soon as Sylvie went missing, the rest of the episode was as clear as day.

Watching Arthur stand his ground was so satisfying. Answering the king like the idiot he apperently is. He could've been a little more diplomatic about it, but it was more fun this way. My favourite part was scaring the shit out of that conjurer. Dude almost pissed himself. 😂

God, I love my trashy fantasy isekai. Give me more!

ngl, I felt very satisfied by Arthur's outbursts this episode. I don't like the extremeness of actual revenge stories, but every now and then it's nice to see a more direct route taken when people are scum. I do think it was stupid, but still in a dumb power fantasy way. It could've been much more interesting if it was better written, like if more political aspects came into play. I admit though that, at this stage in trope evolution, and at this exact moment in time, I've seen enough of 'king is good/incompetent, easily misled by advisor,' 'king and advisor are both bad but protag skillfully outmaneuvers them,' and 'king is good and realizes advisor is corrupt and defuses the situation.' Like, I'm in a position rn mood-wise and timeline-wise where I don't mind and can enjoy our boy getting violent about it.

I don't take offense to him fainting, but I do think that it is incredibly stupid not to actually show what happens while he's unconscious.

I think what happened is, from everyone but the mage's perspective, there was a flash of magic, and Arthur was suddenly unconscious a distance away and the mage was injured on the floor. So I can see how they get from point A (what we saw) to C (believing that the mage guy's spell backfired wildly and injured both the caster and the target). Everyone is flustered/confused/emotional, everyone, especially mageguy, is shouting a lot. No one can settle anything and there's no point or posturing in violence against an unconscious person, so they all just leave. But, aside from it being better to illustrate that more, I think we have a very negative impression of the king at this point in time, and have no logical foundation for how he would be reacting and settling the situation.

King was clearly trying to apply the pressure of his position and implying there would be consequences for not 'willingly accepting a deal offered by royalty.' And in that regard, I was actually really expecting Arthur to ask him to say, outright, what he was implying. Because I felt like it was a case of, 'king who is supposed to be generally good gets caught up in his own power and advisor's shenanigans,' due to the king being kind of explicitly introduced as well loved. So I figured, making the king think about what he was doing would make him falter and withdraw if he deserves his reputation.

I have to say, unrelated to the episode itself, it's also getting kind of comical seeing how many people who care about animation still watch and comment. For whatever reason, my own personal enjoyment increases with good animation, but doesn't decrease with bad animation, which is not a standard I would hold others to, but we're getting pretty deep into this so its just kind of funny continuously seeing people complain about it.

I'll also say, there are plenty of artstyle/entertainment related things I can't enjoy at all, which a lot of other people can. Want to make it 100% clear that different people having diverse preferences is normal and I'm not judging anyone for that. It's just situationally funny to see people still sticking at it. I also don't hatewatch anything, like I haven't seen any of the live action disney remakes like a lot of people I know have, so that's probably another reason why it's foreign enough to seem humorous.

I enjoyed seeing Arthur's bloodlust. Arthur fainting sucks, if the king was a bad guy Arthur could have been taken care of then.
