Tsuihou Sarenakatta Otoko ~Nidome no Jinsei wa Dogeza kara Hajimarimashita~ - Ch. 7

[impendio]

Honestly unfollowed, this plot is really basic and the MC is so boring…

I'm impressed Claude only chopped Cross' hand off at the start.

Spoiler

In the novel, the priestess once came back to Claude's throne room covered in blood and carrying the severed head of some dumb sumbitch who pretended to be Cross. Girl was quivering with rage.

And Claude was basically saying to Cross:

"If reincarnation was real, I would have killed myself a long time ago."

These heroes are completely broken with grief.

 

[Saybah]

This is gonna end up like:

"NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

SASUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

 

[LTalon]

To be fair, it is implied that the hero's party did try to revive/resurrect him and failed. Thus he would be very hesitant in trusting someone claiming to be Cross. Even then he stopped trying to kill them after Cross displayed some of his usual mannerisms.

I get the impression the reason why resurrecting Cross failed was because he was already in the process of being reincarnated as the Sage. His soul was already accounted for.

All heroes need their daily dose of "seemingly useless companion". Without it, they become nutritionally imbalanced and start doing things like this.

 

[HambrabiZZ]

happy to see new chaps. hope they don't ax it to early.

 

[Nivek]

So the meeting happened as some expected, seems Claude is fully male(not a claudia surprise later on?)

and yeah convincing the old hero party is the main drive

Wonder if he'll have better luck with the magician lady or priestess, who might have better magic detection + realize he's not just reading their minds.

I've been thinking about this. We as the readers know that Cross is still Cross, or at least we don't have reason to believe he was tampered with at this moment. His former party members don't and honestly can't ever really be sure that Cross IS their Cross. Someone could've just absorbed all his memories or his soul could've been tampered with without Cross's knowledge. Trusting that it is the real Cross is a big leap of faith. One I'm not sure I would be able to make in the same position.

 

[Pokari]

Ohhh, this poor hero, he's going to regret this so much later XDD

While this is true, given their dispositions, I suspect in that scenario some of them might nonetheless be happy to have a 'copy' of the deceased original, rather than not. Or like, there's a lot of pretty complex existential stuff ready to hand here, but, at the end of the day, you have to work with whatever you've got and make your choices based on what you can know, I guess is what I'm saying?

If we're going to treat this seriously, though, this series already only makes any sense if the "sage's" power is something like unconscious compulsion or seduction, though? So that's a whole extra layer on top of that.

I can't stop laughing at the goddamn baby arms.
so fking ridiculous.

 

[Lonely0n1y]

Old Cross reminds me of Makoto Mikumi

 

[Seraphus]

I like the running gag of baby limbs after regenerating lost limbs.

His little trump-hands are so silly

 

[SoMadIMadeAnAccount]

Yeah this is a drop, literally he just had to tell him he could prove it’s him by his cooking
