There was this German scientist who did some experiment, his sister who he was in love with died and this Japanese soldier who was visiting witnessed the bombing of Dresden. Apparently the German guy essentially gave his life up while the Japanese soldier somehow ended up being the highest authority in Japan.


Oh and there's this enforcer type of guy who is apparently long time friends/rivals/whatever with the red guy and he's apparently a king too or whatever.

And there's this guy who can steal people's bodies etc. and he's the antagonist or sort of or whatever.

Bla bla. If it works for you, good for you. As far as I am concerned, this is bullshit and a random hodgepodge of ideas thrown into a melting pot.
TL;DR, Background you mean?

If that's the case, then yes, you do need to have seen the side materials to understand it better.

However, purely from the show itself, was there anything central to the show's plot that came out of nowhere? The background of characters are not in the scope of the show's issue.

Meanwhile we have a random aggressive punk become a king in the duration of another flashback where some kid chases him around trying to be his squire. He somehow cares for his men because lo and behold he suddenly has a loli by his side.
Whut....that scene was not the entire process of him becoming King. As for the second part of this quote, I completely cannot understand it at all. Cares for his men because of his loli O__o wtf

If such slow, deep, style of presentation does not work for you, no problem sure, but saying it's random just because tons of exposition on them were not presented beforehand is off the mark.
