Weve had an influx of shitty isekai powertrip shows for a while now like Arifureta but usually those shows pretend to have a semblance of challenge for the main character. Meanwhile this show asks the important question: what if we took the power tripping of the main character to its logical extreme? what if the main character literally one shots everything with a thought? And the answer is expectedly not great. The fights are awful most characters are completely irrelevant and forgettable the worldbuilding is also awful and even the jokes are quite poor. A lot of these issues comes from the mishandling of its premise and lets take a dive into the repercussions of power tripping on the rest of the show. First lets establish the boundaries of the main character here. Yogiri can and will kill anything. His power works at a thought has no limits on distance has no cost no upper limits works on both living beings and inanimate objects and can be narrowed down to destroy specific parts as opposed to the whole thing. Not only that he can detect killing intent which also has no limits on distance. In other words if someone tries to attack him with say a sniper rifle from a mile away he will destroy your trigger finger then kill you without ever even looking in your direction. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253177062102011995/image.png?ex=6674e796is=66739616hm=04826c3f523e01f307b978b09614c6704c3a791dc870f3e7c6568c03f785a3c7 Oh and for whatever reason stuff he damages cant be regenerated even if you say rip off your hand and grow a new one however that works. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253179444193918986/image.png?ex=6674e9ceis=6673984ehm=776f63269d8cece810c1e6257403154a8de401bf3f759efad8f270f8d23d3d94=format=webpquality=losslesswidth=1195height=670 Its not hard to see why this guy is said to end power level debates: his entire power set is basically no LOL and the show revolves around characters of varying power sets challenging the MC only for them to get nonchalantly oneshotted. With that comes the first problem: the fights arent in any way interesting. Every single fight is over the moment Yogiri starts caring. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253186308659220540/image.png?ex=6674f033is=66739eb3hm=dfa7d0b427be029fdfc30507d7139e39fdfab36cb5665481a851c1b062023293 Regardless of any power sets regardless of any potential factors the only difference it makes for Yogiri is if hes feeling generous that day. Theres some praise for the varied power sets in this show if you like that PLEASE watch Jojos bizzare adventure dont look for it in this garbage but any power sets or power levels or how they are used are completely irrelevant because the usage of any power is always going to be framed in the context of being used against Yogiri who is immune to everything ever. For an analogy you could pull any gun you want with any sort of trick shots or modifications that means absolutely nothing if your opponent is Goku Vegeta. There are no fights that lasts more than 30 seconds theres no trick that goes anywhere. Whats more opponents that should be conventionally challenging are often killed instantly as a joke. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253189892184342609/image.png?ex=6674f389is=6673a209hm=2df1c885ba23f0e4c0e1db3a9db8ba1750332fe34a4b22f514f7d4280d7693f1=format=webpquality=losslesswidth=1203height=670 Theres no indication if any fights are going to actually be played out or be a joke and therefore theres no reason to care about any given fight. This scene was from an arc that spent 2 episodes building up to a worlddestroying dark god and he was killed off offscreen as a joke. Speaking of jokes lets talk about the second problem which is villains. A villain is always framed against a character and they must present a threat to a character in some way whether physically or psychologically. However because all the threats are focused on the overpowered main character and all threats are presented as fights its impossible to actually establish anyone as a threat. They actually do several attempts like making a character who might be totally immune to the MCs bullshit https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253197567001624596/image.png?ex=6674faafis=6673a92fhm=e69907f9d93db12b0b561f8be6ab86a6eec9b4143b351fc11d3a34a08d3f2dcd who then runs away at the sight of him as a joke. Theres also a character that spends 3 episodes murdering her way through the MCs classmates who supposedly comprises very powerful people https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253198407720501329/image.png?ex=6674fb77is=6673a9f7hm=55fe5caddab2cb3b1c8b831b3b81d183caa854a1b67cc04196180480f1d98cce=format=webpquality=losslesswidth=687height=383 who then gets one shotted. In other words regardless of what they are presented as villains completely fail to be threats due to how powerful the main character is. The main antagonist Sage Shion only survives episode 1 because the main character happens to sleep through her appearance. Once they actually engage in combat she completely submits within about 2 minutes. Side villains are treated with much less dignity: how quickly they die is entirely dependent on how the main character is feeling. The dark god that the show spent 2 episodes building up to was killed offscreen because the main character thought he was creepy. The aforementioned serial killer that the show spent 3 episodes building up was killed without so much a comment from him. They are presented as less of a threat than literally some random bullies from episode 1. There is once again absolutely no reason to care about any villains that appears. Theres no telling how long they will stick and theres no telling if they will just be killed completely unceremoniously or not. Any given arc could just be building up to a wet fart. In the same vein the supporting cast is completely pointless as well. Once again threats are only presented as physical ones and theres nothing that can even come close to threatening the main character. As a result theres nothing for any supporting cast to contribute. The only thing Tomochika does the entire show is quip usually to villains corpses. Shes so completely irrelevant she never even gets held as hostage or kidnapped. This builds up into the third issue which is world building. In a battle shonen like this one worldbuilding is often informed via its power sets and its villains. However powers arent relevant because they are all useless compared to the main characters. Villains arent relevant because they are all useless compared to the main character. In that end what does any worldbuilding matter? There are several plot lines in the show that ties into its villains. Theres a whole conspiracy that the Sages summon people from other worlds to mind control them into being their servants but the main character just kills all the onscreen sages so it also means absolutely nothing. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253206679781245018/image.png?ex=6675032bis=6673b1abhm=90a9ce4d69ff01ee12a1acc746f654d244037082ba47fc7b01a88a60eb8f8aca=format=webpquality=losslesswidth=687height=385 Similarly Episode 5 to 7 establishes the world to have a dark god that has to be sealed away and a complicated murderritual used to select the seals guardian. But since the main character simply deletes the dark god afterwards as a joke the entire 3 episode arc and its worldbuilding means absolutely nothing. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1253176897903525920/1253205999318204467/image.png?ex=66750289is=6673b109hm=3fea6a69fef6e521d5464908c8d55731cf5052ecc8da1ab4ac4597cdfa2c4608=format=webpquality=losslesswidth=687height=383 Speaking of jokes this whole series has one joke which is the underestimation gag: someone tries to attack the main character with some special power thinking hes easy prey gets one shotted. This joke gets used multiple times every single episode. You might as well just play the indy GIF on loop 50 times: https://media1.giphy.com/media/RJOYRvEEeMlby/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952l9085jxrlf87sy8371f48bknokhziac8vtfv3k4jep=v1gifssearchrid=giphy.gifct=g It also makes vague references to other isekais but references arent jokes. Especially since they do absolutely nothing with them except just do the underestimation gag again. If the bar is that low then Dragonball Z which uses both of these tropes quite often should get a comedy tag. For contrast lets refer to a good example of an overpowered protagonist which is one punch man. The reason one punch man is compelling despite its overpowered protagonist is two fold. One the focus isnt always on Saitama. Sure he invalidates any fights hes in but hes not present in every fight and other characters gets to shine. Supporting characters like Genos are quite powerful in their own right and have good reason not to be trying to call Saitama for help every single fight. Two the conflicts arent always physical. Saitama is insanely powerful but he still struggles with making money gaining fame or mosquitos. Its possible for characters or situations to be framed as threatening against Saitama even if he can squash them like a bug. But of course in a show like this no writer who writes this premise and title is going to take the focus off the main character or move the situation out of the main characters one realm of overpowered expertise. And that leads to every single aspect of the show suffering for it. While this shows main character is the logical extreme of the typical isekai main character instant death is but a discount version of other overpowered main characters. If the main character always curbstomps any villains he comes across totally nonchalantly then the only difference between them and instant death is the theatrics and the show would suffer from all the same issues. A close example is The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World https://anilist.co/anime/144553/SaikyouOnmyoujinoIsekaiTenseiki/: the main character there curbstomps every single situation hes in and every villain he encounters with absolutely no real effort whatsoever. The power system means nothing because he just wrecks it anyway the supporting cast is completely useless and is made to literally sit on the bench at points the villains are total jokes and the only difference between each one is how they get clowned on. Oh as for ratings this show has no redeeming qualities except for as a negative example so have a 1.
