Again!?

 

[adrianojuniocunha]

these chapters are becoming boring and repetitive.

Me at page 8: "Uh oh is Yajin about to merc some children?"
Me at page 22: "Sorry kid, your childhood ptsd is about to start."

Jesus Christ people in this world, i know it's some sort of "more realistic" medieval times but holy shit is their first response to any problem murder or what ? how the fuck do they survive against monsters if the first thing they think is "who could i kill to get what i want" ?

It's an interesting question. Humans form social bonds and moral codes within their own communities, but those moral codes wouldn't apply to outsiders. Anthropologists who study pre-agricultural bands of hunter-gatherers note that when a member of the tribe tries to steal or rape too much within the tribe, they usually end up murdered. But the tribe is very willing to murder/steal/rape a neighboring tribe. The mechanic of "In-group vs. out-group" is common throughout the world. The new guy in town is a mark because they're outnumbered. Similarly the community will elect strongmen to protect their group from outsiders.

It explains why the town would be ok with a fratricidal monster as the head-fisherman and willing to murder and rob a traveller.

so like, will he ever actually get to settle down somewhere? Cuz while it's fun watching him punching these shitheads, it's getting a tad bit repetitive. If this continues till the series end, I'd rather quit it now while I still like the series. Anyone who has read the novel spoil me pls.

 

[Trash_Connoisseur]

Bro can't catch a break. Hate to say it but he should've beaten those kids blind.

 

[Intrigbagarn]

"byby ya dumb brats" ossan philosophy i live by

 

[ChocoPies]

Soon Yajin will tire of the murder life. Not yet though.

 

[Shuzuchi]

My man can't catch a break.
Alright, time to kill and run again.

 

[repeatedlyRedundant]

Human settlements are just more dangerous to Yajin than the wilderness. That's the conclusion I've drawn from this.

 

[PrivatePublic]

Oh look, more XP volunteering itself.

 

[razyackerman]

Dude can't catch a break, new village = new problem

 

[TizioPrepuzi0]

Oh come on, this time he barely set foot into the village and it's already murderhoboing time xD

 

[vannn]

That one panel of him having planned his exit in advance and was rehearsing it in his mind as soon as he sensed conflict was a nice touch, if not a little sad.

 

[stainx]

Well this shitty brat might’ve indirectly caused his father’s and his cohorts deaths….
I hope he gets shit on daily afterward by his friends for causing their father’s death too

 

[Ironclad]

He's going to go John Wick on their asses.

That one panel of him having planned his exit in advance and was rehearsing it in his mind as soon as he sensed conflict was a nice touch, if not a little sad.

I think it's the opposite, he needs to flee to keep Puppy safe, if he was on his own he probably wouldn't need to run. His dad instincts are stronger than his murder hobo instincts!

 

[Vandurn]

I want the child to die

 

[Tamed]

Village destroyer at it again. He can't keep getting away with it!

Then again the manga is still set at a medieval-like era, meaning there should be at least some cultures with values surpassing those induced by hunter-gatherer xenophobia or the idea of murdering your way through life.

IRL some medieval cultures (like those in central Asia and even the middle east) were actually known for their hospitality, with inter-tribe wars more often breaking over politicking and stuff like marriage disputes rather than just xenophobia.

Come on yajin. Take over the village. Take all the fish for yourself.
