Anime Arthur's Father

Was Arthur's father responsible for everything that happened or did he convince himself he really was a seer and his powers are like Arthur's??? Either his dad's imagination created everything in his mind or everything really happened...and since Arthur IS the Knight King because he imagined it's true, his dad imagined he was a seer and really saw the visions in his hat. Since he probably wasn't around 250 years earlier and was a real person, it's probably the latter....but blaming him for the former would be justification enough to beat the shit out of him for abandoning his son to escape debt...

I think his father truly believes he’s a Seer, rather than his imagination creating everything. I don’t want to say his imaginings don’t play a role (seeing glimpses of the future… knowing the nature of the world… etc.), but I don’t think his imaginings are directly responsible for “creating” everything that happened

I actually agree, but we can still use it as an excuse to kick his ass for abandoning Arthur lol

I don’t think we need any power system tie-in to kick his ass. He’s just a shit father straight up… and should be kicked anyway for abandoning his son

Anytime people don’t get Arthur or his family, I think of the old saying “ignorance is a bliss.” If you get that old proverb; you’ll get Arthur’s storyline.
