Saikyou Yuusha Party wa Ai ga Shiritai - Ch. 12 - One Should Pick Their Words Carefully

[Karikko]

Shayuu, hear that last line! Use it for some kink-, I mean for your advantage!

 

[OSAITUS]

That is how you write OP characters, you don´t go saying they are OP or so the "you are weak" type of bad guys, you just need one "clarification", after all the problems with the other heroes, now we know that this party could do the easy thing and just off everyone, but they rather talk it out... and they are so OP than even the kingdom gives them this leeway, now wee know that the MC does not need flashy magic and probably he uses it because is the type Shaayu likes, instead he can make the heroes do the deed themselves... and now we can go back to the slice of life stuff

 

[lesseffective]

even the mangaka is confused as to where the story is about to go toward.

Yeah, that's my reaction to this toon too. Good bet, that's the reaction of everyone reading this.

There are elements of romance. There are elements of comedy. Don't bother yourself with the rest, and the definition fits!

 

[Outflanks10]

That is quite the deadly aura he is letting off.

Thanks everyone at QUANTUM for the translation

 

[Hicleric]

Does it make sense? Not particularly, but it's fun and ultimately that's all I'm looking for in this fine instructional manual of how to properly woo a warrior woman

 

[coyote_vdb]

Thanks for the translation.

 

[potatoawards]

Yeah this confirms it, author doesn't know what to do with the serialization the manga lacks any identity whatsoever

It's like you're presenting a nuke to your enemy and showing its power by blowing up a vacant space.

"See that? I can do that to you, to everyone you love, and everything you held dear and call it a day, but I don't wish to do more harm than necessary, so why don't we talk things out?"

When you have greater power over your enemy, you have the ability to control the war. Once they see that, that's when they're 'willing' to talk peace negotiations.

So, basically, like the US to Japan, twice.
The first time was to force them out of Isolationism. They, unfortunately took that as the normal and appropriate response to people saying "No," which lead to Pearl Harbor when the US refused to continue selling steel. The second time was to end WW2... Unfortunately the US killed far too many people, fortunately Japan decided it wasn't worth seeing if the US could stomach dropping more...

Well, except, in both cases it wasn't "here is what we could do," but, "that is what we can do more of."

I'm honestly just grateful that the end result was what it was. Japan stopped being Isolationist, and ended their Imperialism, then basically made friends with everyone(*) leading to the Japan that exists today. Sure, I would have preferred it to involve drastically LESS violence.

 

[Okeno]

I'm sure everyone reading this thinks the same thing, but this is a pretty unique feeling manga. Play on the isekai trope but have the world saved by the people of that world themselves. And all of that happened in the past. So everyone's working with the consequences. Pretty neat.

Even if they've deferred the romcom parts haha

Didn't Japan support Nazi Germany during WWII though? Moreover, I heard Japan did some pretty inhumane things to both war criminals and their own citizens during that time (I won't mention what those are out of preventing spread of misinformation, I only just heard about it). They still have a sort of social-hierarchy in their culture that may be derived from their imperialist times, and while it still has some chronic issues, I agree it's better now compared to back then if they were really like that.

 

[Highorse]

fuck em up

 

[lengend]

Well said mage san ! We all bow in front of the chad onee san hero

 

[CrownGold]

✔ Fucked around
✔ Found out

 

[dingo12345]

Yeah, just choke him out. Who cares at that point. He kept deluding himself and refused to take responsibility. He's a sorry excuse of a hero and a person

 

[TheMather1]

It has identity aplenty. What it lacks is direction.

 

[lowarctic]

the twink x butch relationship here is crazy

 

[Marie2003]

The elf and the priest: Ah.
Translation: He really shouldn't have said that...R.I.P. i guess

 

[92cloud]

thanks for the chapter!

 

[Generalformat]

Itsuka getting both some of the best lines while being a pitiable character is such a fantastic gap.
