"You're too weak, you're not cut out to be on my team"
"You're too strong, I don't need someone who can turn against me"
then what the hell do you want, One?!


Thanks for the chapter

Thanks for the chapter

He wants loyal meatshields to use who arent capable of being a threat to him. The guy is a psychopath pretty much

He doesn't want a team. He wants slaves. Thanks for the chapter!!!

Ultimately, I think he just wants everybody dead. Anyone not tough enough he'll kill. Anyone tough enough is a danger, so he'll kill. Dude has rabies.

I don't know what to call this kind of thinking from "One," but it's something close to nihilism.

For a long time, the culture has focused on "what is strength" and "how to survive by being stronger/more skilled."

In fact, yes, if a person wants to be the last person on earth, they will kill everyone and survive. The cost of that? They will be alone.

Apparently, the entire "militia culture" is kind of based on this premise: "survive by yourself and no one else." "One" took this theory and put it to the test, ignoring that in a militia, you have to leave a minimum margin of trust in a partner. "But I didn't like the person," so you walk away and that's it. It's said that you don't trust psychopaths that much.

Something that Ijin/001 understood in the end in a different way, especially because his surroundings helped him. In a war, even if you don't trust anyone, you should at least be grateful if they leave you some space to breathe, so to speak. Ijin's luck is that they took pity on him, and he can repay them by being a better leader than "One," even if it meant leaving the team.

Alright we get it One is a psychopath. Can we get back to Ijin now?

Also in the last panel I am pretty sure he was supposed to say "What is with today?" I'm not a translator that just makes more sense given the situation.

The meaning conveys fine to me.

acting big, thinking you'll scare your enemy and shallow your ally is only lead to your downfall further as they'll figure your not all big, just someone who's afraid death
