Hm? But isn't that the problem? That Emilia understand she is just another everyday human instead of something special that she think she should have been.

She was already doing that (in the very limited way the author allowed her), so I don't really see the reason for these latest developments that have made her reconsider her position a the Hero. Quote:

Well, they also has a lot of association with gang groups and violence. This is especially bad during the 1970s, and lead to various social problems during that time.
As for Emilia's identity as a hero, I doubt that logic can work in this case. The decision she is facing here is either she gave up on her father's dream and stop a machinated war for the benefit of an arch villain, or that she choose to let the eastern continent burn just to protect that dream. She consciously choose the later. She choose to let the people die fighting under her name, just so she can protect her life back then as a farming little girl. The very moment she valued the hostage over this on going war, she already prioritized her identity as a farm girl in the past rather the hero she should be right now. She couldn't make any excuses for herself either, as she know no one would really get hurt even if she gives up on the hostage. |

That also the reason why Emi could be blackmail so easily. A true hero will never succumb to evil and can be blackmail by no one because he only serve the greater good and make it his first priority before anything else. Those who fail to do that can never call themselves heroes.

Having less than heroic reasons to fight does not mean she has to be a damsel in distress all the time. At this rate, even Chiho will become a better fighter than her. |

Either way, I still cannot say I like this development since this leaves Emi with nothing. Her role in the story was that of the Hero, but now she's just another haremette and a gag character who can't properly do anything (she couldn't even keep her job). I honestly would have preferred if the author wouldn't have written this development. Quote:
Of course, an author can always write some scenario showing the hero is some unparalleled genius who can come up with some really contrived plan to save both his love ones, everyone else and get some Hollywood ending with cool music and dancing at the end.

You're talking about an ideal of what heroism is supposed to be like - and I'm sure most people wouldn't consider heroic some person who lets their loved ones die for the sake of the greater good. So, I'm not sure where you're pulling this ideal from.
Of course, heroes are expected to make some personal sacrifices, but they're almost always expected to save everyone, or at least try (even if they end up failing). Anyhow, I'm not talking about some abstract ideas, but about actual characters that have been considered heroes. In the end, they're not supposed to be machines, but people who also have feelings and weaknesses. So, using their loved ones as hostages will generally put them in a bad position.

As for your next question, a hero who can be threatened is far more trustworthy to and your life into, why ?? if he can sacrifice anything for his ideal, you are no exception, someone who can be threatened is someone who have care for the hostage, as for other, if some one threaten him " i will kill 600 man if you did not give up remaining 700" your ideal will cause the death of 600 simply because 700 is greater than 600, if it was me, i'd rather trust the one who can be threatened. |

Because there's a character playing the role of "The Hero" in this story and she just questioned if she really was one in the latest volume?
It seems a fairly normal discussion to have after that. Quote:
Anyhow, I know she won't stop helping out and fighting bad guys because she no longer calls herself "The Hero," but I'm hoping she doesn't drop the title, but realises instead she's been one ever since she took the sword - despite her desire for revenge or even if the Church was full of shit.
