A Retired Old Sage Takes His Disciple on a Journey - Ch. 24

'Pelvis'? Seriously?

Well, I guess we could think of him as a 'hip' old man.

I like seeing him having a mental breakdown like this, normally it's a really cliche and lame death, but this is a fitting jenga tower which we've seeing as an audience, piece by piece, get ready to fall. I like it, the misguided kindness of the family, the lack of attention to discourage him from pursuing the throne, the death of his mother and the growing distance from a king who doesn't know how to approach his son anymore, all of them building up to just a full on mental breakdown, no screaming, no weird anime eyes popping out while cursing the hero, just a mental breakdown that I can believe.

For all the horrible choices this manga has made, which have been many, I think that this cliche fall of the second trash Prince is decently well executed.

Ah, the sight of his Ivory Tower crumbling. Absolute Cinema

Nice Hamilton reference, tho

feel bad for thrush, no positive feed back has altered his brain development early on.

 

[Kurovah]

Thrush's fiancee seems to have a hard time reading the room

 

[Ravenito]

I just hope that’s not the kind of shitty plot where suddenly a weird guy spawn in front of this garbage prince and ask him something like : Do you want more power to get your revenge ? Or some shit like this.

'Pelvis'? Seriously?

Well, there is a long history of borrowing words from other languages because they sound interesting and alien. Like how Darth Vader translates as dark father... So probably in Japan, Pelvis sounded like an exotic name

A trash prince not due to some uncontrolled fate, but rather a series of avoidable situations. I dislike him but now, it‘s clear part of the blame for his behaviour belongs to the rest of the family.
