tbh, I actually enjoy the idea of a D.E.M. failing and the person still having to be saved. But now I wish each girl get their "hero" moment, since the most badass moment in this was Merly coming to the save even if it was just momentary. But, I really hope the guild revisit their rank system because 2 S rank adventures should not get bodied this badly by an S rank monster unless monsters are 1 or 2 ranks higher than people (meaning it takes a team of humans to match a monster of the same rank).
A powerup that doesn't save the day but gives room for the person to grow and eventually save the day is what I'm thinking the writer's end game is with that and I can't be too harsh on that since my favorite character in anime is the literal definition: Son Gohan.
Lmao, what? That’s ignoring the fact we had interesting lore introduced.
i don't think you know how hydras work. the only way to defeat a hydra is to cut off all it's heads lest it infinitely regenerates. basically their body is just a mode of transport for them and serves no actual purpose to their survival. and that's not even to mention just how ridiculously sturdy their bodies are even compared to dragons.
there was never any mention of no one being powerful enough to defeat s-rank monsters. the mc was known to be more than strong enough to be s-rank but he never reached the rank because of the retarded requirements to become s-rank having nothing to do with the individuals strength but with the amount of completed missions. during his last mission a dragon showed up and destroyed the town the girls were born in before he could make it in time to stop it. basically he called himself weak for failing to descend a mountain faster than the dragon could fly. no one else called him weak and they even tried to cheer him up because they knew his strength wasn't what was lacking.
Forfex is the name of a species of giant alien crab monsters from Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Kaiser is already noted to be hero class strong, he just got hit by depression while he was in his heyday.
The issue at the beginning of the story wasn't that the MC couldn't beat the dragon, but rather that he accidentally awakened the dragon and wasn't fast enough to stop the dragon from destroying the town. He felt like he should have finished his mission faster (killing wyverns) and if he did he wouldn't have awakened the dragon. Basically he felt it was his fault for essentially causing the destruction of the town and fell into a huge depression. He raised the three daughters because he felt it was his way to atone.
in his case he was still a rookie adventurer,
SS3 Gotenks was never meant to defeat Bu/Boo, specially since the transformation was flawed, I have always had a problem with the final fight with kid Bu/Boo, because Goku let gohan die on Earth so he could get the final fight. Ultimate Gohan was the Strongest individual by the end of Z.
