Fucking knife ears everytime.

 

[Boomburst]

Fucking knife ears everytime.

Can't say she is innocent though, considering she seems to have reached the point where multiple generations of elves have come and gone while she remained alive.

 

[Solipsist]

It's always a blast to read a story that basically goes: "Hitler did nothing wrong", and you have to remind yourself: "No, wait, hold on, that's still Hitler". :v
(Of course the analogy doesn't really quite work here)
Solid villain backstory though.

That being said, the explanation about "why our devices function for so long?" is pretty crap, though.
Yeah? "We just made it better"? Kinda weird cop-out. It'd have made more sense to have them own a solar battery charger. Even if that wasn't a thing back then, it'd still make more sense than: "just cuz".

"The hero becomes a villain but not completely because of their final straw light of hope, but then it dies and the hero finally becomes a villain who is completely irredeemable" trope.

Kinda strange for a manga that the hero is Russian and the villain Japanese... but that also makes it unique.

 

[flxsemi]

I'm amazed the author made me sympathize with the main villain and hate elves instead. I'm surprised Bega didn't instantly go after Kanya during the exorcism back then.

I am not sure what exactly did you mean but if it's strange for you that Japanese can be villains I suggest you to read something about the "unit 731". 😏

Welp, whatever sympathies I had towards elves just evaporated. Knife-Ears truly had it coming.

Remember that even the high elves weren't aware of the full capability of Yggdrasil, so it might be a case of unreliable narrator on them too.
They just know it become better, but they don't know how either.

yeah at this point im all in on this girl, she ain't a saint but i get why she did what she does

 

[anzuda]

Well as they always says, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to be the villain." and in this case, she lived long enough to be the villain

Well, this is a japan production. Usually, you don't frame your own people as the villain in a story, hence the confusion.

Well, villain is in the eyes of the beholder. In a war, each side thinks the other is the villain, and even a villain is a hero for someone including themself. It is very rare for a villain to be someone who are just plain evil and hurts with no reason, at all.

This make it so which side are you on determent who is the hero and who is the villain.

Some even consider villain as evil with a purpose. So when there is no purpose in that evil deed, it is just cruelty and will be hated by both the good and the bad

RIP AND TEAR

 

[Madologist]

"Around elves, watch youselves" strikes true as always.

Her anger is justified for the time being, yes, but what about now, hundreds of years later, with her ready to kill the planet to return home? She truly lost her way in her mind now that she can longer be as one with her love.

I bet she will, when eventually encountered by mr. President, try to garner sympathy. Tragedy or not, ages later, she still remains a brat that requires correction. Reminds me of that elf from Kumo desu ga.

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

The grudge still ongoing, understandable. I cant wait to see how this played out.
