i'm pretty sure that even though this magic cannon has insane firepower, it still won’t be able to defeat the guardian god
honestly hope he dies in a year. But, completely changes the world of the people he meets and helps along the way, for the better - thus "living past a year" by virtue of the legacy he leaves behind.Wonder if he’ll really only live for a year or if he’ll find a way to extend it further in his journey.
IIRC, he is going to be called the "young hero" later, which carries the implication that he never grew oldWonder if he’ll really only live for a year or if he’ll find a way to extend it further in his journey.

That's what "never grew old" meansOr that he died young
100%. It's a lot more meaningful to me if the story is more about the impact he's had on other people's lives and outlooks in the short time he has lefthonestly hope he dies in a year.

It would be way more bittersweet, but would stay faithful to the general concept and would be a braver way to conclude his story, in my mind.
It's really easy to "solve the core problem" of the story by way of sufficiently fantastical magic, sure - but it'd be a mark of great storytelling to not tie it all up in a pretty bow with a "and he lived happily ever after".
There would be many tears shed in his passing, not the least of which the first girl he meets who has fallen in love with him. But the mark he leaves on so many, and on making "a better tomorrow" for still more, would be huge and arguably indelible, and make for a compelling tale.
I believe I've hypothesized in earlier comment sections that it could also imply that his heroic deeds stopped at a young age; like he gets cured, but becomes crippled doing so, which I think is also a better direction to go in than just 'oh, I'm healthy now!'.IIRC, he is going to be called the "young hero" later, which carries the implication that he never grew old
yeah but I don't think the story is heading toward that direction considering that he is still a child and they already introduce a love interest this early.100%.

"Relatable""Father doesnt have much time left"

Also would be more devious if they first give a glimmer of hope for recovery and finally off him anyway Like they did in assassination classroom. I remember that left me totally broken back then.honestly hope he dies in a year.
