Yuusha-kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku Episode 3 Discussion

@Conflagr8 No, it has nothing to do with "propaganda" Let's imagine that an individual who committed such a serious crime that he doesn't even deserve death appears in front of you... I would immediately look away and run. That's natural, not "propaganda."

Besides, with only three episodes, the anime still has a lot to reveal about the heroes, so don't draw shallow conclusions based on your personal opinion.

You'd be making the mistake of taking the statements about the severity of heroes' crimes seriously, when we've been directly shown that the theocracy is lying about those crimes they're charging heroes with. Their exact agenda still remains unclear, but that's just about definitionally propaganda.

It's not hard everyone knows grass type is weak to fire type basic, Pokemon 101.

King & Tatsuya saved the day. Tatsuya is great to watch just wild brainless swinging.

I just hope more and more of this "knights" die each time. Atleast Kivia finally grown a spine.

Too adorable

He might have that delusion of being the king of the empire, but Norgalle showed he could be worthy of that title, because he cut his own leg to end that Demon and protect his people. I was not expecting that turn of events, I was surprised by his character, I thought they would take him in another direction, but I'm glad they are following this direction instead.

The action scenes were also really good, as usual, but I felt the episode had some more still scenes than usual, it might be just my impression, especially after watching Frieren and Fire Force yesterday, but I did end up noticing them.

The final scene with the little girl offering Xylo those flowers was really cute, especially taking into account Xylo's situation, as we have seen time and time over how he saves the day most of the times, and after doing go, gets treated badly and is not aknowledged by that, solely because he's a hero. Also, it's cute he was just like "Teoritta, just demand that from fellow children" and how Teoritta in the end seemed like she just wanted to play with that little girl, because she is essencialy a kid too.

Also, Kivia let Xylo get that admiration from that family, and even reprehended that guy from the church. As I expected, I feel like she's slowly going to change her perspective on the Heroes (especially Xylo, since it seems she might end up as his romantic interest, if the anime decided to add a bit of romance).

Well, I'm really excited to see how the anime goes after this episode. So the repair shop is just the place where heroes can get treated, and it also seems like they can get limbs reattached and everything, so they don't need to be ressurected if they get badly wounded, which is interesting to know, since this way they don't need to loose part of their identity. I just didn't understand why Dotta needed to go there, he wasn't injured at the end of the 1st episode.

The stigma against heroes is starting to really annoy me because what, the holy knights are the good ones? They're not doing sh*t and are really just nuisances and keep getting carried by the heroes. Maybe/hopefully there's actual holy knights that match heroes?

Well, I’ve officially suffered through the three-episode rule, and I can say for sure: this is trash. The characters are paper-thin, especially the edgy MC. There’s zero plot, just a constant "look how dark and gritty our world is" vibe that feels like peak teenage angst. The fights and enemies are boring as hell. Those exploding daggers are such a cheap, lazy shortcut—zero impact, zero satisfaction. They clearly only exist so Youtube reactors can act like "Wow, what an explosion!" while the studio saves money on actual choreography.

This episode's animation tanked to One Slide Man levels, if not worse. The fights are just moving slideshows. 90% of the rest is just static images with a moving mouth, a character sliding across a background, or just slow pans over still frames with some voiceover.

Honestly, just bury it. This is a total train wreck.

Dropping this 4/10 trash with zero regrets.

It’s dumb when people just repeat buzzwords. Calling it "godlike animation" when it’s actually bad. Or "real dark fantasy at last", even though Clevatess last year was much better, just less hyped.

@aenimus18 No, man 😭, for your indignation about the anime's lack of quality to seem genuine, you can't exaggerate like when you said "the animation is on the level of One slide man 3." That completely undermines your comment because it becomes obvious you're just exaggerating to create rage bait.
Next time, avoid exaggerations, or your interpretation won't be taken seriously.

@Desmascarado I appreciate your input. But still, rewatch the fights in this episode. In the first fight, the sprite of a motionless character just slides across the screen. In most of the others there’s no real contact combat: a character swings, then they show a static enemy with hit effects layered on top, and then a static image of the enemy falling apart. Like in old JRPGs 🙂 In most non-combat scenes there’s only one moving element, or none at all. The budget has clearly taken a big hit here.
