Fumetsu no Anata e Episode 16 Discussion

Manga18 said:
It seems to have lost steam, every episode it tries to focus on stuff we already saw.

Everybody knew that Prona was dead and seeing it happen changed nothing.

Again how can it last so long? What more is there to say? Actually a lot but it seems the auther would rather focus again on the loss of people dead to Fushi in the past.

Also I don0t understand really Hhayase's hate, she did pretty normal stuff, not much worse than Tonari for example but people seem to hate normal characters if the MC is a dumb all good guy (as in Tower of God where everybody hated the girl, her being the only character acting with logic)

The evil biatch from hell is back and as hateful as ever. What's her reason for going so far though? I 'm interested in knowing her motivation

Laplace_kun said:
I can't believe so many people couldn't think it could be Hayase. Now she's back with plot armor hax. Am I supposed to praise her confidence? It feels like a serial killer being given the aura of Thanos, and in a writing point of view, feels wrong. Of course, they'll show Parona's brutal death, just the death, without even any development to it, for the rage factor. A warrior like Parona would have already killed herself before being violated. I hope there's more to all this, because this show often gives a better explanation/perspective in later episodes.

1/5 just for the irritation I felt from watching this episode.

Why is Hayase doing this ?

Kidnapping people into slavery w/o having your life threatened is irredeemable.

Ok, I quite disliked this episode... like in 2nd ep he could regenerate in a couple of seconds his whole body so it is quite weird to see that poison would work on him since it doesn't make much sense. Like I get it that he is quite prone to psychological manipulation but he is immortal and I don't see any reason why he would be susceptible to some poison.

Hayase return to the story, I see it as a wonderful and great thing, don't get me wrong, I hate her, she's a bitch.
But I'm bored with the knockers and their appearance every 3 episodes. Because they have no personality and are not interesting. I am just waiting for their makers to appear. So having a villain character with a character is necessary

Fushi wasn't kidnapped into slavery. Jananda is a prison island for criminals, who are free to do whatever they want (minus escaping) since there are no rules.

Hayase participating in the tournament, I had thought she was dead, but it surprised me and it broke that thought I had done.

Blue_Maroon said:
Imagine being an immortal being that can transform into numerous different forms with unlimited weapons and still losing in a one-on-one fight to a human. Absolute comedy. Just stay as the bear and shoot swords out of every part of your body.

They’re still trying to make me care for that one girl but I don’t. Kidnapping people w/o having your life threatened is irredeemable.

nothing but complaint

The amount of plot armour Hayase has in this story is insane. Firstly, she should have died in the first arc when Fushi's bear form smacked the shit out of her yet she ended up surviving because plot and now she's somehow capable of defeating each one of his new forms without breaking a sweat. Sure.
And that preview sure made me go full "oh hell no!" Crazy bitch is about to make Fushi inseminate her. Hang in there, immortal boy!

Another bad episode. Tonari's backstory was extremely uninspiring in terms of narrative so of course, it didn't make me feel anything towards her and the fact of Fushi conveniently forgetting about the blowgun and the explosive arrows during the fight sure left a bad taste in my mouth.


She wants to get pregnant by "God" (Fushi, the immortal being in her eyes). That's the level of obsession she has with him and now that she's the new ruler, she can do as she pleases.

Hayase is giving me rape vibes...

TinyPrawnie said:

Why not? His body can age, so it's more human than not, really. And it seems it's a sedative rather than a poison, so not as if it's actually damaging his body, just putting it to sleep.

Piko said:
Tonari is the first character I dont feel something special to.
May be that means she never will be a part of Fushi

Anlex said:


It is true that his immortality is "defined" quite vaguely so I will give you that.
But the thing is that most sedatives that are let's say injected last for a quite short time but well this is fantasy anime we are talking about so I wouldn't even complain since well we don't really know what she used to "put him to sleep" anyway these drugs works in two major ways ... without going to details it could either target his receptors or it could target enzymes and like either way, since he can regenerate everything (brain, muscle, etc) in seconds I would assume that some receptor or enzyme would not take any time.

But even then if I were to ignore this what I can not ignore is Hayase, like what she did was just plainly absurd. Imagine you were to fight an immortal creature that last time you saw it has shown quite low intellect. What would you do? In anime, her "obvious" choice was to fight him :D idk if that sounds incredibly dull only to me but would you choose to fight an immortal creature that was dumb to the point that it could hardly even eat? Like the answer to subduing such creature is quite obvious that it hurts and that is what insults me as a viewer that she - someone that seemed like a cunning character with a background of having a couple of villages fooled into submission, chooses to use poison without any real evidence that shows it would or even could work. She even knows that he is quite susceptible to manipulation and it is even shown that a mere child could manipulate him, and yet she chose to fight.

Like don't get me wrong I quite enjoy this anime but this put quite some damage to my brain.

TinyPrawnie said:

It already has worked on him, it's the same drug that was used on Fushi, March, and Parona when they first arrived in Yanome. Western Morning Glory, I think she called it. Obviously not a real drug, but I don't see any reason why drugs wouldn't work on Fushi unless they actually damaged his body.

As for her decision to fight Fushi, there is a reason for it beyond simply defeating him, which you will get the answer to next week.

GeanWolf2000 said:
You're dumb? he is immortal but has no combat experience, hayase is a soldier, of course she will have an advantage over him. besides donkey is blind lol.

Sulfurian said:


I get it was necessary but c'mon, she would have lost if he got the fire breath off, dunno why Fushi is still so bad with combat. He was kicking way more butt as a wolf in the beginning episodes.

Atavistic said:
This anime has turned into nothing short of an absolute disaster. First, I have zero reason to care about Tonari's mediocre backstory, as it does nothing to justify what she's done or to offset the fact that she's so incredibly annoying on top of that. Nor do I care about her motley crew's hopes and dreams, as we're obviously only being told that to try and make us feel bad for them when they either die or get turned into those zombies we see in the OP.

And then there's all the Hayase bullshit this episode. Never mind the fact that her even being alive at this point is completely nonsensical after the bear swatted her away, but her plot armour has intensified beyond belief at this point. There is absolutely zero reason she should be able to defeat Fushi in one-on-one combat: Fushi is immortal and has combat experience from fighting the Nokkers, while Hayase should not have the super powers she's been given to be able to dodge Fushi-bear's attacks or to sense Fushi-Gugu's impending use of fire breath (or even know that's something he can do). The writing's just given her these abilities in the most bullshit way imaginable to keep this terrible arc going for a while longer and to justify her continued existence in the story.

Also, Fushi acknowledges that he can turn into Oniguma and escape from the prison with Pioran with ease, so now that he has regained that form from the Nokkers why doesn't he just do it? Now, there is literally zero reason for him to compete in the tournament when he could just get Pioran out and leave at any time; he doesn't need to win the tournament to accomplish that.

Honestly, this show's ability to disappoint me more and more every week amazes me, and it looks like next week is going to continue that trend based on the preview: I can't tell you how little it excites me to see Tonari's crew of redshirts trying to rescue Fushi from Hayase trying to get him to impregnate her (or whatever it is she's going to be doing with him). Good luck justifying anyone defeating Hayase now when she's been given such immense plot armour.

HyperdriveYT said:
Meh episode- the final fight was a complete joke... I'll stop all your attacks with plot armor. Where is this anime going anyhow. Such a strong start, but it's getting weaker and weaker with time.

Blue_Maroon said:

I have no combat experience and I thought of that in 2 seconds. Anything that can think would agree that the biggest, most powerful being is the best option. So are we saying that Hayase could have killed that giant bear when it was alive by herself? I highly doubt that.

Idk who "donkey" is either.

GeanWolf2000 said:
the bear wouldn't die from having its eye gouged out, so Hayase wouldn't kill him but that would stop him from killing her. intelligence and experience can beat someone just stronger than you, hayase has a lot of that.

Blue_Maroon said:

How would that stop him from killing her? Are you seriously saying an inexperienced Fushi stood a better chance out of bear form?

GeanWolf2000 said:
he would be blind and attack without a direction as shown in the fight and Hayase would just dodge the attacks, fushi realized this and turned into Parona, his worst disadvantage is that he has no defense.
