(Hi) My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered

[Alchemist007]

Still loving the absurdity.

Aoi-san's reaction and 180-degree flip in confidence is just so amusing to watch. LOL.

I don't think it's quite that simple. He's not merely death; he's like the incarnation of finality. The end of all things. Death usually implies the cessation of life; he can "kill" much more than living beings.

Of course, saying "I am death" is cool sounding, so it's not like it really matters hehe

If he is literally death then I'd like to think that anything in that old world can't die anymore since Death™ was literally removed from their world

Now you are underestimating his scope of existence, or the lack of.

[Huh...?]

I think you can confusing his Powers.

MC isn't "Death", he is "The End", or more accurately "He is the End of All Things" (whether it be material or spiritual or living or non-living).

Even "Death" can technically be circumvented, by means of say Reincarnation or Rebirth, for example (since as long as the Soul survives, there can technically be different possibilities).

But he is "The End", as there is nothing past him.
If he wishes for something to End, it would End with no other choice, and nothing would remain, not even the Soul.
If he wishes for The End of a Building, it would End. Same for say Car or Fuel or Air or even a Planet or even a Sun/Star.

I didn't expect to see Ayaka (the girl who bought it in episode 1) to still be alive...or be an android who needs to feast on the dragon corpse outside the bus to survive. What a way to open the episode .

(Also was that Reina Ueda as one of her AI voices?)

We flashback to Asaka trying to take care of Yogiri and realize how unqualified she is as a homemaker with her less than stellar cooking skills...but at least she taught Yogiri that you always compliment a woman's cooking, even if it's terrible. It's as valuable a lesson as her teaching him elementary school level learning because that's all she's got !

Oh, and there are robots too! Decked out like they're from an older era of Japan! But at least they give them everything they need, up to and including a gaming console and a dog .

So Asaka could leave at any time? They just didn't see the need to inform her of that when they were sure she'd either quit or bite it against Yogiri? They didn't even need to stick her with the cooking with the robots being able to manage that (albeit blandly). Well, with such a huge payout for her efforts, Asaka is going to take a well-earned vacation !

And on said vacation she treats herself to fine dining, a shopping spree, and a night at a luxurious hotel...before getting kidnapped by an Agency who seeks to take out Yogiri. Yeah, that about checks out .

Of course Yogiri wants to see Asaka again and the only way to accomplish that is to leave the facility...which means threatening a poor scientist into releasing him and killing everyone who tries to stop her. All the while he's just a kid strolling around with some casual questions .

Then when he finally reaches the Agency's facility he drops even more bodies, kills all their significant looking and pompous enforcers before they can do anything, and then kills the woman holding Asaka hostage as we catch up to the prologue. That lady probably would have survived if she'd just left well enough alone .

Well, it's good that Asaka isn't afraid of Yogiri and his mass-slaughtering ways, and now she has ultimate job security, but whether she sees a future with him or not, she knows that he needs her right now and that's enough. It does make me wonder what happened to Asaka in the present-day .

Aw, Tomochika is really crushing on Yogiri! Though to be fair, it's not like she's had great luck with men otherwise, but she seems really into him now...and Mokomoko won't let her forget it !

Oh wow, they made it to the royal capital! And are immediately surrounded! Good thing Yogiri's power means they can avoid arrest, and if their cover story doesn't work, Rick's influence will !

So Rick was a prince? And his younger brother is this David guy? And he's throwing around his royal authority so casually and basically causing more problems...he's lucky he just got his balls kicked in by Tomochika as she finally demonstrated the Dannoura-style, which makes her even more attractive to Yogiri .

There's ANOTHER Dark God under the capital!? Is Yogiri going to kill this one too ?

Well, Yogiri and Tomochika finally reunite with their classmates...just as they are embarking on yet another quest as Sages. Though it seems like their sociopathy won't get them far against this King. But they didn't even notice Yogiri and Tomochika were there

That actually clears up a lot, thanks!

In a sense it's kinda limiting since he can't really fight, only "end" stuff, but at the same time it's too powerful

Also looks like the Institute's plan backfired, Yogiri had no reason to leave his cell but they introduced a mother figure and of course the kid would've wanted to find his mother, so he broke out of containment

There's another limit, slightly alluded to in the anime but noted in the manga. He has to be able to understand something as having a life or at least being capable of "death". If he is able to define to himself what "death" or "ending" is for something, he can end it in an instant. If he's unable to decide on what death means for an entity, then that's another matter (at least for now, I honestly don't know about the future when other "seals" are broken). That's also why the ice just broke apart rather than melting, evaporating or simply disappearing: he conceived of the "death" of the ice seal as the ice crumbling and shattering, so that's what it did. I'm guessing with that giant black blob his concept was more along the lines of disappearing.

Of course, it gets fuzzy with things he can't actually, directly see and confirm. Suffice it to say that even if he can't sense something and tell what it is, whatever he would interpret as "death" for the entity will happen. And yeah, for living things and things with souls it is very simple: the soul is gone and the life is permanently over with no possible future or workaround through resurrection, reincarnation, etc.

Well, if his ability is depended on his decision, some kind of hypnosis or mind-control ability that manipulate his thought and perception and change what he consider 'death' or 'alive' might be good counter. Additionally, ability that can project illusion might be able to fool him into use his ability on the wrong target or his ally.

[shmaster]

The truth is none of those matters.
As long as the discussion is about "Yogiri", we are still far way from the truth of this SCP.

[Huh...?]

Problem with that is, he has an Auto-Counter system, which immediately kills anyone who tries to affect him negatively.
So mind-control or manipulation stuff isn't possible on him as it negatively affects him directly (example of this is on how he killed that Evil God in the Anime recently, he didn't really feel any murderous intent, but the miasma from the Evil God created a negative affect on him, which his Auto-Counter immediately countered).

As for using illusion as a counter, well it's unclear on that, since that's not a direct manipulation but an indirect one, especially if it's an AoE type (we did see him get caught in one easily recently, and while he could kill that illusion after he understood he was trapped in one, he didn't in fear of affecting someone unconnected).

We learned some important things this week.
Asaka cannot cook.
The founder of the Dannoura school of archery probably never heard words like honor and chivalry.

That was clear when she first met Yogiri and just gave up when she saw the fridge .

When you see Mokomoko, are we really surprised...

[Frontier]

Okay, so...there's a UFO! And Aoi in some kind of sub-space where she's hiding out from Yogiri and having an emotional breakdown. Sounds about right, and puts into perspective for Sion how terrifying Yogiri is once again .

Hanakawa just can't catch a break. First it's Yogiri, then it's Aoi, and now it's Lute who has the bright idea to try to kill Yogiri (which always ends well) and thinks freeing the Dark Gods' sister (who surprise surprise is the Dark God sealed up in the capital that the class is trying to take out) will succeed. At least he's willing to dress as a girl for Hanakawa's sake .

Well, Yogiri and Tomochika have finally reunited with their class! And everyone is happy to see Tomochika...and totally forgot about Yogiri. Although the gall of that Suguru guy to justify leaving them behind and then act cautious around them for, obviously, the fact that they abandoned them to die! Though Sora, the class idol (and professional idol) seems to be doing a solid enough job of leading the class and doesn't seem outwardly malicious .

Three Eroge Nobles with powers to match? Yeah, no wonder they sealed them up .

Yogiri gets grouped with the class losers and Tomochika gets chummy with the girls again, but Yogiri's observers finally make contact...Carol with the Agency, Ryouko with the institute, and Fukai with the cult. Seems like the latter worshipped Yogiri before but now that Fukai is a "Death God" he doesn't need him any more? At least Ryouko has enough sense to bow and plead for her own life, though Carol just breezes by everything...like asking if Yogiri and Tomochika have already done it .

So the girls all get costumes! We've got Sora the idol, Carol the ninja, Ryouko the samurai, even a cheerleader...and Tomochika finally gets to wear her skintight outfit from the OP, and she looks amazing! I wish Yogiri could get to see her wearing it !

Man, poor Divine King. She makes it back to the church and it's not quite the warm welcome she was expecting. At least Rick made it back to join Tomochika .

Tomochika just summoning weapons and slaying monsters like a champ! Not to mention Yogiri actually managing to score kills without his powers! Being able to read killing intent is surprisingly versatile !

So Ayaka is going all serial killer on the class for leaving her behind, first by beating Ushio to death, but it's only a matter of when she goes against Yogiri at this rate .

Hey, at least Euphemia's not getting brainwashed! But now she's a vampire, I guess? And she's run into Lain's younger self, calling herself Rinsely (is that still Rina Sato)? Is she ever going to run into her older sister ?

Sion encounters Lute and Hanakwa in her quest to resolve the Yogiri situation, but she's also still using the Sages' for her own end and treating them like pawns in a game to her. She was even going to vaporize Hanakawa if her magic hadn't failed against him (for some reason). Though now she's planning to have Haruto take care of Yogiri in the dungeon...which I'm sure will go well for him and Sion .

[BWTraveller]

Yeah, when your powers revolve around being able to see aspects of people's future, finding a hidden pocket dimension to hide in and cry seems like just about the right reaction to seeing THAT.

If I understood the manga version, Lute isn't exactly a "femboy". If I remember right, they don't really have sexes, they just take any form they wish. Still, Lute's personality certainly doesn't fit that new body.

[frodonk]

Well continuing on with the parallels to the SCP universe the Institute obviously is the SCP Foundation, while the Organization which the blond girl is from is obviously the GOC, while the Cult where the creepy kid with the removable eye is from the Serpent's Hand.

Again I'm still wondering why does this series fits so well with SCP lore lol

[Frontier]

Ayaka is still learning the ropes of her newfound dragon android powers while carrying on her one-woman quest to kill all her classmates, which includes fending off attacks from Riona, a martial arts girl who attacks her directly. Though Ayaka wants to fight the class when they're at full power and not sealed up, so she doesn't finish Riona off. Besides, Riona's skill being literally "Gorilla" is punishment enough, isn't it ?

Lute and Hanakwa run into the little sister Dark God...and it's Mana! A total hottie barely being restrained by her big brothers' seal, she's also an insane brocon who can birth beings whom she considers the children of her and her brother. Yeah, definitely not someone you want loose out in the world .

Yogiri's got an assassin guild after him but he's still lazing the day away playing video games, seeing the sights in town, and trying to lessen the effect of his powers in case he needs to interrogate people. And why not have a little day date with Tomochika while he's at it? Provided Ayaka doesn't destroy all the places Tomochika wants to see .

Don't you just hate it when you're a king banging some chick and suddenly some girl swings in and incinerates you ?

Ayaka and Riona round 2 goes about as well as round 1 did for Riona, only she's definitively dead. Did Ayaka kill the nurse girl too ?

This assassin guy really thought he could circumvent Yogiri's powers, but he signed his death warrant the moment he tried shooting at Tomochika. And no amount of chopper and parachute escapes, Elf Spirit Princess' and Kings' (Mokomoko is finally useful!), Hell Queens', or Fenrir's will be enough to stop him. He even got Taijutus'd by Tomochika for his trouble !

Although the one moment Yogiri almost got hit was from the robot girl in a red dress, Enju, but Tomochika catches the blade in time. She was made in the design of Yogiri's childhood friend (after he escaped the facility?) but she's alive...probably ?

I didn't expect Lute and Hanakawa to have a genuine moment or Lute to actually act like he cares about Hanakawa...even if it's just ratcheting up the death flags for Lute .

Wow, a cooking skill is surprisingly versatile! Though it seems like counter girl is hiding the true power of her skills too ?

So the class is down to eight people thanks to Ayaka and the kingdom wants to kick them out for all the trouble they've caused...so their only recourse is to go deep in the dungeon and achieve something great to prove they deserve to be there. Good luck with that .

Dang, poor Lute! Mana stealing his body and brain so she can rebirth her brother .

I love how they just casually build a castle and two girls needling Tomochika about her relationship with Yogiri is one of the most mundane things to happen to her in a while .

As if this class didn't have enough problems, now Sion is making them all kill each other to make one fully awaken. And Yogiri and David are falling down a crevasse with his "2nd Phase" activating with Tomochika looking for him .

[belatkuro]

How convenient that Takatou is not in the room when Sion came out. Did she come out knowing he wasn't in there? What if he was in there? She was worried a lot about Takatou and his power before this. But this event probably means more than this mysterious boy.

2nd seal is scaring the ninja girl more than the prospect of them killing each other. Wonder if those two spies monitoring Takatou will survive this, though knowing everyone else is expendable in this series except Tomochika means it's futile to get attached to them.

I wonder if she and Haruto were working together to get him out of the way before she started the class killing game?
