Dumb girl keep casting death until they run out of countermeasures or time freeze them.

Hit em with the ol time freeze-a-rooni and slap them with multiple overlapping instadeath spells.

i just binged this series, and ive already forgotten everything lol

wasnt the island theyve been living on connected to a witch somehow? i feel like that was mentioned at some point

 

[S0LUS]

it's been clear from the start that this church is like, cartoonishly dumb and evil, but... what the fuck is the plan behind waking up the dude you ostensibly imprisoned & wiped out all traces of the god he worshipped? i'm assuming they froze him less for the sake of him guarding anything in the distant future and more for the sake of desperately stopping him from curb-stomping them all since he (assumedly) has MC's powers and (assumedly) a fuckton more experience using them, so what is the point of waking him up? just hoping he'll feel responsible enough to stop the "witch" when they also wake her up, instead of teaming up or something? as someone with at least 1 working braincell, it seems kinda obvious to me that this "witch" is most likely a former extremely blessed person who was also used/betrayed in the same way as the sister character, and it'd logically follow in this type of story that he was the bait used to trap her, so what's gonna stop them from reuniting, befriending the new generation, and summarily stomping your entire nation? it's basically inevitable, the only delay will be however long it takes to calm the "witch" down since she'll (most likely) go berserk the instant she's freed (or was just already berserk because they told her the "saint" was dead or w/e)
i'm used to dumb writing in manga but like, c'mon man...

Immediate thought that came to my head, why doesn't the sister just try to kill them again.

Dumb girl keep casting death until they run out of countermeasures or time freeze them.

The power requires her to touch them directly, and they're not going to let that happen. That's why they sent Celes to subdue her instead, the power wouldn't work on her.

I imagine she probably can't cast the spell continuously, there's likely a cooldown. Also she's a 9ish year old girl, there was a reason she waited until their backs were turned and distracted to try and assassinate them. Interesting that she could potentially affect 2 people at the same time though.

i was looking for this comment. I thought she has a cooldown on her skill similar to her brother's tenohira, when it was at a low level, Kia could only use it for three hours a day.

It's such terrible writing, to do a flash-backwards kind of scene, to show the audience what happened in a critical juncture, that the main cast is completely unaware of.

Now we're in a situation where the MC has no idea wtf happened, and is going to happen, to his sister -- but we do.
Why even.

That is literally the definition of dramatic irony. It's a literary staple and I'm fairly sure it's older than the english language.

Okay,
Dramatic Irony is a dogshit plot device.
I don't really care how old the term is, it's downright terrible.

Dramatic Irony is nearly foundational to storytelling. To the point that turning it around and showing the audience something that explicitly didn't happen (example: Ocean's Eleven) is difficult to pull off and nearly always catches the audience off guard. Just about every well regarded piece of story based media has some amount of dramatic irony in them. Something the audience sees that either the cast is entirely unaware of or doesn't know yet. In a drama it might be showing that a character is having an affair that their partner doesn't know about; in a mystery we might get a first person account of a murder before the story's lead is even aware that something has happened; a story written in the third person might reveal aspects of the world that the main cast never comes to find out. You can't just write off an entire storytelling device because you don't care for the way it's been used in a single instance.

That reminds me of "there are no bad tropes", and I get what you're saying, but if there's any one of em I'd banish to the shadow realm, it'd be this one.
More often than not, it's used as a cheap way to convey something difficult to the audience easily, which fucks with how the audience experiences the cast.

I am a staunch believer in "if the MC doesn't know of it, neither should I"
