Souzai Saishuka no Isekai Ryokouki - Vol. 9 Ch. 62.5

Interesting backstory. I wonder if that crown prince is dead yet, still good, or now a noble dick.

 

[LordofLeechers]

It would be neat to see a few more works that follow the perspective of a native who encounters isekai bullshit. I've read one or two, but none of them really last, or really nail it.

I feel like this chapter is foreshadowing that prince to make an appearance

 

[PhoenixDen]

This doesn't really make sense. He protected the prince, sacrificing his own body to do it...and he considers that a failing because he wasn't flawless at it? I dunno, seems a bit weak for me.

Even if he was able to fight off this group on his own, it came at a cost and the chance he wouldn't be able to manage next time without the other knights' help. So he felt that by effectively turning the knights themselves against the crown prince by his presence (out of their petty jealousy, mind you), he was failing by being the greatest cause for the attack to have gotten so far. It should really have just cemented his position and gotten the rest of them demoted and replaced -even if it can't be proven that they aided the assassins by actively loosening patrols for them, it was proven that they couldn't even do their jobs and protect the grounds from intruders, raise the alarm, or anything else useful. After all, what's stopping that level of incompetence from threatening the life of the king himself next time?

 

[Romisterie]

I only he knew that in the future he would have a headache with his antics.

Wounds in the back are considered the scars of a coward, they turned their back on an enemy or were stabbed in the back. Basically, just an excuse to say he ran from a fight.

 

[UncleKaos]

Well is good to know his past.

I do think that is the reasoning, but that's stupid.

It feels like an manga thing that has taken a life of its own.

We don't know how many years he traveled, but I think it's most likely the crown prince is already an adult and the current king.

When taken to this extent it's a Japan thing, but if you pay attention to any war movie where they have to inform the next of kin of the death of a soldier, you'll notice that they tend to mention that all their bullet wounds were in the front.

 

[Eddnom]

Let me guess, that prince will reappear and reveal he is actually a girl

I vaguely remember this already being explained by Gildias way back so I looked to check. This was covered back in chapter 16 on page 18. Takeru mentions the wound on Gildias's back and Gildias's immediate response is "Aren't you gonna mention that a scar across the back is a warrior's greatest shame...? It's a wound that implies that one tried to run from their enemy or that they suffered a terrible loss." It's the moment when Takeru and Gildias really bond so it's quite clearly established as a complex he has long before this chapter.

The most famous form of this sentiment is Zoro from One Piece though I can't piece together whether that's the exact origin of it in japanese media or if perhaps Oda heard something like it in an old movie. The trope goes back as far as the era of Shakespeare. In Macbeth when Siward is asking about his son's death where he expresses relief the son's wounds were on his front and saying he died a noble death. So it's not really specifically a Japanese idea or one unique to manga.

Something tells me if a kingdom is so corrupt knights take bribes to allow the monarch to get killed out of petty vengeance -- that kingdom deserves to have its leaders killed and replaced anyway.

Leopards eating face party.

I'm not into One Piece, but I do remember it being mentioned in several places that when Whitebeard died the only wounds he had in his back were from attacks that pierced that deeply from the front.

It's not. In the west this type of thinking goes back at least as far as Ancient Greece.

Thank you for the upload

 

[Romisterie]

My guess is the next arc involve the kingdom where he is injured. That said I doubt the crown prince would be the same as it is a trauma and that tend to change people especially kids.

 

[kaikalaila]

Maybe will show the Crown Prince locked in after that and clean house.
