Acryl suddenly became more interesting having noticed that detail. Going back, I think I completely ignored her nude introduction.

Nice to see Sansui actually killed them, and didn't have some stupid moral dilemma scene where he tries to convince Dewey to let them go alive, unlike so many other series.

Y' know, I was thinking of this before, but character-wise the MC reminds me a lot of Yasuri Shichika from Katanagatari. Low tension, serves a bossy comic relief character, absolutely no reaction to murdering people.

Now that you mention it...
That's a really good comparison.

@mutsutakashi yeah she made a bold claim giving she never even seen the homie, and based off of Pandora who literally got smashed without even hitting him, even saying he perfect and basically unkillable ( well he was/is a god after all )

Even if Suikobu match against him, he'd stand no chance.
Getting arrogant now, are we? Perhaps too arrogant I might say.

I fooken knew it Zhongli, you with those geo sticks again.

@mildev

of course, to take exhibitionism with stride, she must also posses confidence far above her limits.

Finally, an MC that won't hesitate to lop off a few (or more than a few) heads.

I disagree. If he was a newly transmigrated teenager, then you could easily make the argument. But he's a sage with complete control over his mind and body at this point. We saw him have perfectly normal human emotions up to this point. He lost desires in the Eastern ascetic sense, basically vices such as greed, lust, pride and etc., not the ability to feel human emotion. He's not written as a cold-blooded psychopath and neither does he appear as one here because his demeanor is explained by existing backstory. He's the only character in the manga for whom it would make perfect sense to stay calm during bloodshed. Also I'm pretty sure he isn't decapitating people because it's cool. He's using the guillotine approach and killing people in the quickest and most painless way possible.

Whether the writer has done a good job on making him appear or feel as someone with hundreds of years of training under his belt is a separate issue. Ideally we should have witnessed more of the training for it to register with the reader better. He does look and feel like your regular Japanese kid with the exception of being extremely calm.
My research has led me to that while getting your head lopped off is a fast way to die it can also be of the most painful dependent on the specifics of the body. While many would lose consciousness immediately because of the sudden influx of oxygen to the brain others might not lose consciousness where their brains would then register an intense pain from having all of those nerves severed.

Plus I think you guys are thinking to deeply on the emotional turmoil here. He recognizes that they were paid to do this and they chose to do it. So they lose their lives because of it. It's very simple.
