The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?) (light novel)
Ninym just had an enemy general's severed head on raised up for display. Even if the general is an enemy, he is a proud warrior to the very end. Yet she humiliated him like that? Wtf is this? Is this supposed to be a Chelsea reference? What's worst is that she is portrayed as heroic for such savagery. This is crossing the line. And NO those "meow" doesn't excuse such barbarity |

| What🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
| He lost in a war. So he was killed. Simple |
| "Meow" is an excuse for everything. |
| He insulted her in a sexist way (not surrendering to a woman though she showed that she is skilled with a sword ... maybe he would have surrendered to a guy?) and she maybe used the opportunity to demoralize the enemy troops + giving the own troops a morale boost. Super effiecient compared to the prince. I guess he won't be able to escape her - and she might ruin one or the other plan he makes. |
| Damn. I read the title and I was like "Is this show the new target of GakutoDeathGlare?" Relieved that's not the case.... Well, that was pretty common in mediaeval times. Most of the heroes you know of from the mediaeval times were barbarians of the highest order. "You kill one, you are a murderer, kill a million you're a conqueror, kill 'em all and you become a god" |
 |
| That was EXTREMELY common in medieval warfare my guy |
| Out of everything in every anime, you picked the one event that was historically accurate to complain about. |
| welcome to history 101 |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| That general should be happy to be killed by Ninym |
| Well maybe throwing insults wasn't the brightest idea by the geneal so I wasn't even surprised Ninym just went "lmao, okay then, bye". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| This was obviously very uncommon in medieval times, but it is a shitty fantasy show so it really is not meant to be historical. Our historical heroes are responsible for way more brutal crimes. Ceasar, Genghis Kahn and many others people that are celebrated today are actually mass murderers and war criminals by todays standards. |
| You think this is barbaric? How sweet of you. He was offered a chance to surrender but instead he chose death so be it and using the head of a dead general or even worse act to cause morale break in an enemy army is so fucking commom... Even during vietnam all that shit caused america to lose the will to fight and retreat. |
| Oh my sweet summer child... meow. |

| You can't judge actions of people living in (fictional) medieval world by todays standards. By modern standards majority of kings are cruel, family murdering barbarians. |

And NO those "meow" doesn't excuse such barbarity Your love or hatred for this act does not mean anything in front of history and wars, it is an act known throughout the ages to discourage the opponent. Let's move our moral standards away from previous eras. |

And NO those "meow" doesn't excuse such barbarity Actually, they're way too considerate. Why on earth are they putting his head in a bag? That kind of defeats the purpose. A much better idea is to tie the headless corpse onto his horse and have it ride back straight into enemy lines, THEN display the head on a pike, with the face clearly visible. |

Most likely the head wasnt covered in the novel, but snce this isnt an adult rated anime the head is covered |

| In fairness to the OP, quite often the top general would be a high ranking noble or even the king so instead of killing them off they would be captured as prisoners of war and held to ransom. The effect of imprisonment, from a military standpoint, was the same as if they were killed as the general was no longer on the field and so morale would go down the gutter. However with being prisoner there was the chance of additional spoils. I think that would be a distinct possibly instead of death but it is important to note this act of "mercy" wasn't done for noble/civilized reasons. All that chivalry nonsense you hear only applied to generals/nobility and any person below that social standing was essentially free game to the whims of the army so expect all sorts for brutality to apply to those people. Also in the feudal times you fought for your lord (your opinion did not matter) so once the lord died you had no reason to fight once they were dead. Over time the top generals went further and further away from the front lines and after 1500 it became relatively rare for generals to die in battle (at least when compared to previous centuries). This lack of death could have made the act seem more barbaric but this came about due to armies being more organised/professional and having better logistics to enable generals not to be in the thick of the action. |
| Tbh,in the end,the prince got a gold mine out of the deal,so who died when and how isn't something I'd really care about,and the general having his head chopped off was just part of the script anyway. Getting all high and mighty about having his head displayed(in a bag)on a pike is just a snowflakes way of justifying his/hers/their own opinions,and they invaded first as well. If the prince gave you a gold ring or necklace forged from the gold in that mine,would you refuse it as it was from the proceeds of such a "barbaric" act? Nah,didn't think so. |

| Read a history book and grow up. This was pretty common back then. |
| Old story, pal. Read some history books. |

What are you, 12? |
| They were fighting a battle at a disadvantage in terms of number of their troops. "Barbaric" actions and sly, underhanded tactics are a necessity. Displaying the head of the general demoralizes the enemies troops and informs them that their commander has been defeated. Without it, the enemies troops would have continued to fight as normal while believing their commander to still be alive and they would have easily crushed Wein's forces. |
| honestly you need to open a book or watch an anime with the war theme,your complaining about something realistic. "barbaric" might be for you and almost no one here. |

| I've seen too many "wtf" topics today to even try to give joking asnwer... Beheading enemy general is the most obvious thing to do in medieval/fantasy setting. If you find it strange, then something is wrong with you or your knowledge on such stories, not the story itself. And yes, I'm aware OP is known for making bait topics. But I feel like giving him serious answer is the best way of showing what I think about such lame posts. |
| He is the ruler, he is treated as heroic by his people; history is always told my the victors. |
