Huh. Strange. Oh well. *shrugs*
Oh, and by "later half of volume nine", are you referring too chapter 5? Because it doesn't seem like she's calling him out to me. Of course, I don't speak Japanese, and could very well be missing some cultural clues. And this might just be the translation, but Spoiler for vol. 9:
Of course, as always, cultural upbringing, personal opinion and interpretation shape how you view the work and it's characters. Edit: I believe it's been said before, but zzhk's a god-damned machine. Last edited by Gore17; 2012-10-22 at 04:01. |

Edit: On a completely unrelated matter, was it ever clarified on whether using magic to appear younger was exclusive to witches, or open to all magic users? As Volume 1 says one thing, then Volumes 3 & 6 say different things. Of course, this could easily be a retcon, perhaps caused by the author not having all the details on the world created yet. Or the author forgot to check his notes, and made a mistake. Either or. Last edited by Gore17; 2012-10-22 at 09:49. Reason: Didn't want to double-post |

Clearly it's all female practitioners of magic, including knights like Doni's master.

I do agree that Godou needs to figure out how feels about them at least now I can see how he might have trouble expressing himself though he is still in the young akward stage of life. |

Anyway, I wonder how the magic societies would react if a campione decided to reveal the truth about magic to the entire world and decided to become a genuine king in a country by seizing control of the government of a country and formally declaring himself the Shahanshah of that place. It would be virtually impossible for anyone to reject or oppose him/her apart from other campiones, and I can't imagine the other Shahanshahs would interfere given that it doesn't really concern them(J.P.S might though) and that they don't really give a sh@t about the magicians apart from Godou, J.P.S and Alec.Even J.P.S and Alec avoided confrontation with Voban, even though they that he's a crazy old man.

Look at Godou's situation. He has those hot girls throwing themselves at him pretty much willing to go all the way and he likes them all. Accepting or rejecting someone else's feelings may be the basis of human socialization as you put it, but love is the feeling where people mess up the most. It isn't something clear and easily defined. If, when I was 17, a girl I liked had told me she wanted a relationship with a lifelong commitment, which is basically what those girls are doing to Godou, I wouldn't have wanted to give an answer either. On the one hand I like the girl, but on the other I'm only 17 and something like marriage is way beyond me. If it was four girls I liked equally who did the same thing I probably would have considered running for the hills. A harem of beautiful girls may be some male fantasy, but in truth it has to be a clusterfuck. I have no idea how a stable and healthy relationship with a harem is even supposed to work. Going by divorce rates I'd say one man and one woman is already difficult enough for us humans. |

Besides there really isn't much they can do aside from Godou I doubt they could manage to kill any of the current Campiones even they wanted too. |

Can I just say that your taking the relationships way too seriously? Of course Godou is being a hypocrite. Its part of the comedy. Nobody buys his bullshit in-story, not even himself if he is being honest.
Its not "right," but is it really that hard to empathize with the way he acts? Besides, if they fixed all their problems there wouldn't be much plot left. As it is the situations he gets in with the girls make up over half the pages. There is an element of status quo in there by the author. Godou is at least coming to accept the idea in rare moments of honesty in the later volumes. He is making progress, even if it is slow. |

Is there any mentioning yet what is the Last King? I mean if he/she is heritic god, campione, god, or demi-god? The way how people portray atm is as he is messiah who stand by people side and if so I really see no reason he had to go butcher Godou.

Just getting more authorities isn't something that will be decisive against the L.K. After all, the dude has slaughtered generations of campiones with upwards of 10 authorities or more. Yet Godou is implied to have some kind of unique advantage by the gods residing in the netherworld. It definitely isn't because he is the strongest, thats for sure.
I have always thought it has something to do with his attitude that will bring the L.K. down to a defeatable level. Going on a god-killing spree wouldn't make him any different than the previous campiones that were wiped out. So I don't think thats the answer. Though I do wish Godou would make an effort somewhere instead of just waiting around for shit to go bad as well. |
