Oh yeah... I had forgotten this guy was alive.

Roze already caught on to Aleucia's schemes XD.

 

[Malta]

Can someone refresh my memory on who Robery is? I don't remember him at all

 

[HaikenEdge]

Robery is the church spy, isn't he?

 

[foducool]

Tbf manga add a LOT of stuff, compared to the source material (ln). The anime adapt the ln quite faithfully (regrettably).

if the anime is 100% faithful to the LN then the LN sucks completely lmao, the manga adds so much substance to the story compared to the anime

Yeah. I don't wanna speak badly of the novel but man the manga is soooo much better.

Thanks as always Galaxy Degen.

yep, one of the bishop's henchmen from the previous story arc, the rapier dude

 

[Mafeb]

Our old man has crazy insight, but only for battle, since he ignores all the hints for romantic interest others may have in him

I agree, admittedly... I didn't read the novel, but if the anime follows the novel more, and if you just take out a few very clear elements from the story... you notice this is very basic shounen "trash".

Robery is a good example; apparently, he doesn't exist in the novel, but his existence makes certain connections much more seamless.

And obviously... the manga fight choreography is on a whole other level, and the artist may have a very "basic" style, but he knows how to draw action in ways even accomplished artists don't.

 

[Viren21]

gawd the amount of stuff that was removed or glossed over in the anime version is crazy I'll never stop being mad about it lmao

I didnt read the LN. But while watching the anime when it aired. I already know the story is pretty straightforward with how the conflict and scenes went with little investment on character development except Beryl. In short, it became a slow life of a master swordsman taking care of an orphan girl.

 

[TheGreatALBundy]

So making a campfire is apparently "too clever" for a bandit to do, huh...

I know it was just how 'well' the tracks were hidden but even I initially went: "Wait, how dumb are these bandits if you're shocked they could make a campfire?" lmao

 

[herppatrick]

...the rapier dude.

That's not exactly a good descriptor here, since the whole church's knights use the same sword type.
He's the dude that's "a good swordsman, but not a sword maniac" guy, the one who used poison against the small girl that use a modified zweihander.

 

[flxsemi]

My favorite bad guy returns, noice

 

[Vincentius]

the manga fight choreography is on a whole other level

As a former HEMA practitioner... There are some fencing panels and sequences in the manga that are practically orgasmic compared to the usual slop you see in just about any form of media.

 

[Nephilm]

That's normally the case but this series is one of the rare exceptions.

I think there was another one like this but I can't quite remember.

With narouslop being what it is, it's actually not atypical for adaptations to be much more polished works. See also Taida na Akujoku Kizoku ni Tensei Shita Ore.

 

[theshet]

YOu can really see where the author wanted to expand on in the manga given the light novel work.

 

[alacaelum]

Too true.

Don't know if you heard about this one, but search for The Returned Mercenary Has a Plan.

I know the title is stupid, but man... I would say, it has fight choreography even better than this... I don't have deep knowledge about HEMA, but I know enough to recognise that many of the postures and swordplay are based on the real ones, but the way the characters move is, like you said... ORGASMIC.

Just a casual sorry bro to the secret extra member

If you guys ever went camping youll know its hard to hide traces of ashes, soot and smoke. Smoke alone will leave a dark tar on the surroundings and you can still smell it a day later which is to say nothing of ashes and charcoals that will be left behind. If the wood used as kindling and fuel has a lot of resin it will burn easily but also leaves more soot and smoke compared to dry leaves or twigs
Also based on my experience if you make campfire, put it out, come back a week later, the traces would still be there

I made a fire in my backyard 10 years ago and there are still traces. By traces I mean a huge black spot.

Yeah, i got it, but my point was mostly about that they didn't say enough. It goes like that "Look, we found evidence of the camp. Probably from the bandits, but it seems too clever for them". No mention about it being concealed, we are supposed to get that info from the visual interpretation, which is also very lacking and full of uncertainties (depending on author, they might even skip it altogether)

I decided to write a comment about it exactly because they found a huge kindling. Ashes, soot, smell - all that fair enough. But getting rid of everything so minuscule and doing all the hard work of professional spies, only to leave out a kindling with a size of a fist? Might as well "forget" a bag with supplies at the campsite. Sounds so unreasonable that at this point i'm ready to believe that remains of the camp weren't concealed, but just author not caring to draw them properly thinking that "it wasn't important anyway".

Cmon, it's a HUGE kindling. How can they leave that, if they are specifically concealing their presence?

It's a tight rope to walk on. In a casual converstion between two people who both know what they're talking about, they don't explain things in minute detail to eachother, because they both know the other one knows. But if you do that poorly the audience isn't going to understand.
I guess the huge kindling is mostly because there's an author and an artist and they're separate people, there are deadlines and everything and sometimes the artist will not capture exactly what the author had in mind.

So making a campfire is apparently "too clever" for a bandit to do, huh...

I think it's the effort they went to, to hide the evidence of the fire, that reeks of professionals. There are no other signs of the camp or its size there, you don't know who, or how many were there.
