From what the trouble girl said itīs quiet possible that the asian god of fortune she slayed is Bushamonten, from a quick seach I found several other gods related to fortune in asia but most of them are bound to agriculture or money. By the way, someone mention earlier that Aisha had some sort of Jaberwocky Slayer, that reminds of the Vorpal Sword of the Alice tales of Luis Carrol, what does that mean?.

Why people wants him learn material arts? Isnīt it because, he have Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi and from what said circe he should got new sword. but canīt use sword arts.Next when he is attacked humans he canīt protect himself, because he cant use his authorites except from boar. And why i want him gets new authorities, is because his authorities has many flaws and many his fights has win only because luck or with help from others. And i cant imagine haw author want Gudou fight against King of the end only with one authority and without single material arts. When king of the end is one of the strongest heretical gods (perhaps even strongest). From what we know about him is that he himsel has killed many campiones and ,,few " heretic gods. From current campiones i would have guess that old campiones have several authorities and still all of them lost to him. Then how can Godou win against him with one authority, when he wasnīt able to easily win against single heretical god or campione. And from how has been Godou few times alerted and warned about the king of the end, I would guess that godou will have to fight against him. And I would not be surprised if it would happened in a few other volumes. What would I have guessed that Godou will fight the newborn Athena (from Holy Grail) and yet somehow they (or athena only by herself) will wake up the king of the end.

it doesn't really matter if Godou learns martial arts or not brcause he have his Authorities to fight against a God martial arts are useless against them and about the white sword I guess its pretty much the same as that black sword given by Athena to Godou that doesn't need swordsmanship to wield

Because that's just how the Campione! world works. To put it in a cynical perspective, Divinity=Stu/Sue-ness. Can you defeat a Stu with hardworks? No, you defeat Stu by using Stu-powers yourself, unless of course, you somehow managed to impose the rule of the real world into the world thus invalidating their Stu statuses. And as far as I can see, the only way to invoke the rule of the real world is by awakening Artus who is more of a reset switch to the balance between Gods and Godslayers.
Still, what's with Godou attracting so many girls? It gets boring after a while. Well, not boring, but more like annoying.

By the way, any progress on his personality in this volume? Like being more honest with himself or become more aggressive in his relationship with the girls? |

Shrugs, it's a basic thing not to add more things than necessary when you're writing. Time (wordcount) spent on getting girls attracted to him could be spent cultivating already established relationships. Comedy can be sneaked in-between of the scenes than making a scene just for the sake of (love) comedy. Not to mention, I kind of want to see Godou actually winning genuine respect as an equal more than getting girls attracted to him (the kinds that knights and lords of the past gave to one another). Besides, that it's a fact of life that the relationship between a boy and a girl doesn't have to be romantic (that kind of thinking have driven many to severe Oneitus cases), friendship is a thing. Though I shouldn't have expected common sense to amount to anything in the 'Divine' world of Campione!.

^ I don't think the writer spent that much time on all the 'crush' Godou got. For me it looks like just one of Godou's main characteristic and slipped mainly for comedy. And its not like this part take that much space and done as a main point. As for genuine respect for equal, he already have that from all the other Campione right?

No, not really. Acknowledge? Maybe. Respect as an equal? Nope. An example of one would be Petyr Baelish and Varys. When you respect each other as an equal, you do not want to anger or offend them on the basis of that respect. The closest one we got (recently, up until Uldin) is with Luo Hao but she still calls him "little brother" which also subtly shows inferiority (Doni doesn't count because he's an idiot). Of course, thanks to "shipping goggles" and "the harem must be fed"... people add her to Godou's harem instead for some reason. Sigh, why can't these Kings and Queens acts like one for once? The closest one we got is with Uldin and Alec, and Alec is well... can't ask much seriousness from a harem series I suppose.

How do you think these 'king' and 'queens' should act? Before they become campione, most of them is nobody with no real responsibility or subject to lead. Even their sole responsibility to kill god, its more like a hobby rather than the job for them. Real king and queen need to act responsible and honorable, because without that they will be immediately left by their subject or overthrown. These campione, no human can do that to them. When you are that strong, you do not need to conform to others expectations. Even in serious series, I don't think this Campione will act like real king or queen.

No, as I saw it, they are less of a King than Robert Baratheon is. Yeah, he sucks as a King, but at least he still did something. In fact, from what I have seen, they seem more like an eccentric mercenary than actual monarch, paid by fear and golds by the mortals to fight the immortals.
In a serious work, they would have this little thing known as "consequences" but as it is, no matter what they do there are no repercussion to any of their actions. But enough of that, I have already complained about that too many times. Campione! just isn't that kind of serious of a work, unless somehow, against all odds, everything up to this point was on purpose for a steady spiral to darkness, but I won't expect much in exchange for not asking much.

And in this case they have gained powers close to God, and if the Gods doesnt give a damn, why would they? They have no responsability when it has even been mentioned they arent even human to begin with. They do things how they want, after all they are the sons of Epithemeus and are Idiots by nature. |

The only people who can fight and defeat Gods as immortals are those who are born with absurd, abnormal personalities. The entire process starts with a human facing down a God in combat, a task so ridiculous Erica was absolutely terrified of the very idea. By definition, the potential Campione is someone who goes against the natural order and forces the world to conform to them. Then we get the "miracle piling upon miracle" and boom, here comes a new Campione. Remember those fun little scenes with the Youth incarnation or Lancelots curse? That wasn't Godou being under the influence of magic, that was magic removing the influence of his "common sense" (which is fairly abnormal as it is) to reveal his real personality. The way he casually dominates the girls or starts a death match because he felt like it? That is the real Godou, the one who killed Verethragna. And no one except a god or campione has any ability to hold him accountable for his actions
