He is going independent from his family, just to avoid getting involved with the Hero.Couldn't he just, uh, not betray the hero? You know, to avoid his own death
Several reasons. First a lot of Japanese have trust issues. Slaves are people you can have under your absolute command especially if magically enforced. Plus not worry about betrayal. Second, it skips having to actually build a relationship built on trust since you don't need actual human interaction.I want to know why slavery is such a common thing in manga. Especially when it used in a way to excuse slavery. Like since there "saving" them that it ok; its just funny how common it is.
Am I a bad person for thinking page 9 reminded me of the Luca Blight scene in Suikoden 2?
Don't overthink it. It's the second reason you mentioned. But the reason the relationship and character building is skipped is due to a lack of writing skills. Same goes for the chronic use of appraisal skills and status screens.Several reasons. First a lot of Japanese have trust issues.
