Therefore she is "Athena" and also "Medusa" and "Metis" .. my point is that if due to myths changing the god would be a different god altogether, why does she still have those attributes and powers? Anyways, I don't expect anyone other than the author will be able to answer this question

last update showed Campiones are self centered people. they don't see their flaws. Godou doesn't know his real nature. Alec completely denies he is a thief while he took something from another person without permission.

no matter how you look if a person came to your house and took your mobile phone when you are not there and he left a note "ı am borrowing this" and not returning that person would be thief.

well Alec rationality doesn't work on him just like Godou's pacifism

How a campione, other than Godou, sees other campioni (should be the plural of campione?) is pretty interesting, I wonder what he thought of the others, if he met them.

Her "myth" changed over time, so why did she emerge with those other attributes still?

I feel like the author is retconning how the "system" works to suit his plot desires

Volume 1 Chapter 4 Part 3:
Quote:
In the end, it was him who stole the [Serpent]. The last time she had met a Campione was such a long time in the past; it was probably hundreds, no, thousands of years ago.
Heretic Athena did not manifest recently but thousands of years ago.

I know Godou can't always be like that, because then the story would be over too quickly, but I hope the author wrote it as a preview of how he intends Godou to be in the end. If Godou slowly became more and more like this uninhibited version of him it would be awesome.

really interesting update we get to see Godou's potential in being playboy. with that ability there is no woman that can face him. Rather than his Campione abilities , his abilities he inherited from his genes from Kusanagi family is more fearsome

Yep, the unleashed Godou is certainly fearsome, he's already got Guinevere melting into a puddle for him.

All the girls have to do is get into one room (magically lock it first) then have Erica pin Godou to the wall and muah-cast insanity spell.

Vola! Instant 4 half-Campione/half Miko babies.

I'd say it's the "excited fangirl squeal" they're basically seeing what they consider a hot guy and a hot girl having an intimate moment in public, so yeah excited squees are abounding.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's what that statement is meant to indicate. If she had manifested thousands of years ago, there was no reason for her not to have already retrieved or been searching for the Gorgoneion.

I think that statement was intended to indicate that was the last time she had manifested. Additionally, if what you say is true, then the current Athena would never manifest again, and the future one would be different. I don't think the author hinted at that at all.. Otherwise it would have been a much more tearful parting..

Outlook remains uncertain

If he's already acting like that under Lancelot's [Insane Rush], how will he be when he activates [Youth] as well? Reminds me of Short Story 2, him being the biggest monster the world has ever seen

In my opinion, there should be an upper limit to the harem fest. 3-4 is great. 5 is ok, 6+ is damn pushing it unless u can pull something off like Negima. Because inevitably the author will write himself into a corner and the story lose plot.

The fact this author eliminated Athena rather than tack another girl into the harem is amazing

Edit: Also, it would be nice to see a couple more male characters to bring contrast to the amount of girls surroundings Godou, just as friends who have abilities (Amatasu, Yingsha).

Agree with this. It takes something special to write a story about ten plus girls and one boy. Negima pulled it off by giving each girl their own motivation and story, and even then some of them kind of got shafted.

I have to know. Does Alex ever find out Godou was under [Insane Rush] or does this misunderstanding never get resolved?
