I watched the anime only but I'm confused with what he is. I don't think the english subs are doing the anime justice. I finished the anime and am rewatching it right now and I still don't get exactly what he is. Is he an "enhanced human" as they say or is he created from DNA scratch or something. Because when he was arguing with the butler in FLT after he dropped off the flying magic sequence, they said he was "created" by his mother but I don't get what that means. By the way, what is an enhanced human? Did they alter the DNA or something so they have stored sequences within the functions of their brain so they don't need a CAD? Because that's what Tatsuya can do, right? This is confusing.

He is the ultimate Gary Stu who's emotions have been mostly sealed but is still a prodigal genius and the perfect fighter at everything except practical magic and taijutsu (or whatever his master trumps him at). He wins every fight with no effort, makes gigantic technological innovations in an afternoon, and is so broken that he makes Mega Rayquaza from Pokémon ORAS and Meta Knight front brawl look balanced...at least in the anime. I have not read the LN, and the other person in the thread probably put it best, so I'll leave they there and not jump into territory that I don't understand. I've heard plenty of times that the anime doesn't do the LN any sense of justice anyway.

yeah I heard a lot that the LN is better than the anime too. I want to read it but I have yet to find a cheap english copy in the series or at least a decently priced new one...

Well, we'll just have to keep on knowing that the anime doesn't do a good job at adapting apparently good material.

No real secret: Shiba = Shiva

All the characters are based on Hindu mythology. The setting is roughly 13th century with the western hemisphere added. Of course the writer has taken this and added his own spin to it, but this is the foundation from which the writer based his story.

@SayakSensei01 with only 1 volume left to release before the end of the series, its pretty unlikely.

Shiva, the God of Creation and Destruction.

So he's like Dragon Ball Super's Kaioushin and Hakaishin at the same time.
