Well that was... unexpected. I mean I wasn’t particularly attached to Dario, but I was starting to and I loved his back story. The character development and goal change in the end was great as well... and it’s gone. I don’t know. The extra Alan note feels so... extra. He was about to leave on a really nice note until he and his village full of memories got nuked. I also don’t see how the author can change it (but then again, I can’t see the future). Alan was already a mysterious enough character without having to get rid of character who just went through an entire arc and a village of memories we were made to sympathize with. Just feels like a weird and kinda pointless turn for the author to take, but again I wasn’t super attached so not enough to make me stop reading (maybe for others though). Definitely a risky move for the Author to make anyway, so I am expecting a HUGE payoff now (that’s probably the main issue here. He’s hyping up the Alan reunion and “truth” more and more, so if that doesn’t reach expectations then I will have a problem).
Edit (after reading the comment section):
Author: *Kills off Dario*
Comment Section: Say sike. Say sike right now.
@Siquall wait what? I’m sufficiently confused now. Was Dario’s entire involvement and backstory manga original? Because that was really good. Did the original LN/WN author help with this story or is it just the manga author/artist (if the latter he should really just write his own series). Or was it like publisher intervention or something. I just don’t get how they can turn a one off character into arguably the most developed knowing that he gets killed off.
