It just occurred to me: What if Lavi actually did have a unique skill when he was born, but it was incredibly powerful/dangerous and his mother just took it immediately to spare him the burden? That would be pretty neat, wouldn't it?
I think that would actually ruin his whole arc. He's strong because he can learn from and rely on his friends

Fair opinion, but the way I see it, he'd only get his hypothetical unique skill back after the arc's over. (Re)Gaining his unique skill afterwards wouldn't negate the fact that he succeeded in saving his mother without it.
He'd just get a new power for later (and he'd still have to learn how to use it).
Now, if he suddenly developed a unique skill in the middle of battle, that I'd agree would ruin it.
Unless it was something that just let him control items better or let him coordinate with his friends better. A skill that just made him a bit better at what he's already doing would be fairly decent.

I mean, him getting an ability after rescuing his mom doesn't erase the accomplishments.

It'd be like how the super boss in an RPG gives you a really broken accessory-- great, but there is nothing to use it on now that you've completed the hardest content in the game, unless you do a victory lap.

You know his right for one thing Connie never once look at him in the eye openly throughout the manga never acknowledged him for his progress but just a small weak kid to her, I am happy for Lavi he struggles to begin with, look at him now he manages to confess his feelings to her, and facing his fears. He is stronger than ever.

The dad being out of commission after getting his unique skill taken away. Was it ever explained in detail why he couldnt do his responsibilities as a dad afterward?
He probably lived his entire life being strong. When he lost that he had no idea how to be anything. It's clear that both Connie and their dad believe/d that being weak meant being helpless, but dad learned the lesson quicker.

Pops got his strength back, now he's gotta be strong enough to get this family together. That's gonna take alloooot of family therapy.

Personally I'm fine with throwing Connie out all together, but that wouldn't be the parent redemption arc he wants right?


Thanks for the chapter.

No, Lavi became stronger by not having an over-bearing, obsessed big sister controlling every aspect of his life, and instead having people that pushed him to learn and grow.

the way it was treated though, it always seemed like he was treated as if he became as fragile as glass. Just one hit and his body would break. Never was confirmed what the issue really was though.

It was noted very early on that the stronger the ability that was taken, the greater the burden was on the person who had the skill taken, so he was not only fragile but also drained- thinking of him as being a cancer patient wouldn't be that far off given this, frankly. Dad's ability was the ability to tank basically anything with his golden body so he did become "fragile as glass" afterwards, so I expect this to be investigated in subsequent chapters once they can take a moment and think about what happened.

They should have made it to where he couldnt tank that attack from his kids. Him being able to stop that attack is now what has me confused. Should have been a sacrifice, yet it looks like he's ok. So i dont know whats going on anymore.

Yeah, it raises a lot of questions. I mean, he still was really strong even beyond his ability, so maybe that's what this was meant to show? But unless they explain why he suddenly got buff again and healed, then it's gonna be disappointing.
