Why Hibiki is Tsukumichi's Most Dangerous Character (Not Who You Think!) 

Morally it's good Legally is great Personally l fu***** LIKE IIITTTT 👹👹👹👹

where can one read the novels?

It is not, her charisma is not a gift from the gods, but a natural gift she had in her previous life. However, the point you made is rright though.

@@coffeeovergaming I thought Tomoe had indicated that there was something a little more to it? The section I am pulling this from is where Lime basically almost got converted to her cause. It made no sense and Tomoe chewed him out over it and then on reflection he realized that he didn't know why he was so enamored with her. At which point Tomoe made some comments to the effect that she was unintentionally charming those she interacted with. Granted its been 3-4 years since I read the novel, so maybe I am misremembering details, but I thought that was the purpose of that set of chapters.

@@Gromaul I remember a very similar scene in the anime, but it was with/against the other hero (and his charm). No idea about LN/manga.

@@Gromaulwell that charismatic ability was enhanced when she got the boost in the travelers plane from that unknown entity, when she inspires people she gets boosted that’s why the country that she a hero for see’s her as a treat.

Your comment better than the yapping in the video.

They set her up like that in the LN and Manga. It is intentional because her greatest strength is at least having the illusion of being a good person. They kinda already hinted at it, which is why the demon race is targeting her not the other guy.

Charisma is one helluva double edge sword. You can manipulate people if you have enough of it. Look at any cult leader or prolific serial killer, they charm people with their mannerisms and way of speaking.

Anyone who has read the web novel knows perfectly well that she is the reincarnation of a certain German dude with a peculiar mustache.

Season three has been announced already and that’s when she shows he true colors. She is an elitist despicable person.

@@coffeeovergaming As someone who's also anime only I'm guessing either I start reading the LN or wait until season 3; only "bad" thing I've seen her do so far (apart from the charisma thing, and that's not something she consciously controls even if she knows about it IIRC) is turning her spirit guardian into a suit of armor, which from what we've seen so far looks more like desperation at near-impossible circumstances than actual evil; as for her wanting to get stronger, it's similar to the motivation of, well, every shonen protag ever and we hardly think of them as evil (with some exceptions -hello, Eren Yeager!). And the demons would have a much better case going for them if 1- several of them act basically the same as scumbag bandits (like the ones gaslighting the highland orcs into sacrificing people to them) or outright genocidal themselves (such as the extermination of the Aensland sisters' Kaleneon kingdom), and 2- Basically the most moral/ethical of them I've seen is Io, who basically acts mostly like any other story's kinda-honorable fight-happy "arrogant kung-fu guy" antagonist; others are either pretty generic baddie types by Japanese fiction standards, or Rona, who basically screwed herself and her faction over by being needlessly deceptive and assholish towards Makoto, WHO SHE EXPLICITLY WANTED AS AN ALLY, and which cost her good relations with arguably the strongest faction in the world, two strategic military losses involving thousands of military casualties with no gains save damaging one enemy capital while inflicting moderate and recuperable losses, the chance to assassinate Hibiki, AND two critical allies (Lancer and Sophia). If I was the Demon King I'd probably have her executed for gross incompetence. Since a lot of the point of the series is subverting traditional fantasy isekai morality, though, none of your points are surprising to me; wonder if Makoto'll be able to find more non-racist hyumans or if he'll be able to convert some to his point of view. His students and the Aensland sisters would probably be a good starting point. Oh and finally: does Hibiki's genocidal goals cover even mostly-accepted species like elves and dwarves?

(The line about her being a self-righteous) It reminds me of another hero, but from Arifureta Shokugyou De Sekai Saikyou Amanogawa Kouki, but in his case, so weak, lol

@@omriash5444 Similar self-righteous mindset but Kouki was just dumb and pathetic. Good thing he somewhat managed to become a better person in the Arifureta After stories. There was one Kouki arc that redeemed him albeit he never becomes a Chad on the level of Hajime

@@omriash5444 They're both commentaries on those sorts of people in japanese society. That mindset is a very real problem there. The western term is tyranny of the majority.

There's a reason why people on the sub reddit for the show called her Hitler with tits lol

You are correct on a lot of that. Not going to go into to much detail here to limit spoilers.

@@coffeeovergaming is the novel still getting updated?

I believe the light novel is not. Officially it is still being worked on, much like how Hunter X Hunter is. It is in it's final arc though and the writer has taken a long time to make sure they wrap it up right. So there is no good answer.

@@coffeeovergaming Like Hunter X Hunter!? Aaaaawww crap. Been following that series for OVER 25 YEARS now; the wait for more chapters is excruciating (I completely understand the situation though, what with Togashi's chronic illness; still better than Guyver's publication pace in any case).

I remember in the LN she killed it. I do apologize if I am misremembering. Brain damage is no fun.

Yeah Mio did she had a plan for the priestess to see makoto and we all know what happed after that.

​@@_Smile_Today what happened after that?

Not the other gods, because they are not allowed to interfere directly, but Makoto is basically a god walking their world, so you are correct.

Basically. Hers isn't a magic ability, she is just extremely charismatic

@@coffeeovergamingher charismatic ability is kinda magic now after she met the unknown entity in the travelers space when it gave her that boost it feeds into her, she’s the ultimate clout chaser

That's something upcoming tbh. Right now the story is trying to make her look good because she is standing next to Tomoki

Yeah tha confuses me as well cause aside from actively protecting her from Mio, one of the most dangerous beings in the world, the spirit wolf seemed super loyal.

It was given to her by the goddess and was loyal as a good boy would be. This shows how far she is willing to go to achieve what she thinks is "right". It honestly is the first hint of how evil she really is.

Does she kill the dog in the LN? Because last i ch cked the manga is a bit behind the anime

How far into the story is the LN right now compared to the WN?

The demons mostly don't want to do that. You will see in Season 3 that they just don't want to be oppressed by the Hyumans and the God anymore.

@@coffeeovergaming i didn’t know that i on l’y Watch the anime

Sorry only

The important part is, we are getting a season 3

The demons only targeted soldiers. The general even offered to allow them to flee if Hibiki turned herself over. Not that, that was a good deal, I feel that the demons have actually been more reasonable then the Hyumans

@@coffeeovergaming I’ll rewatch the scene but when they released the death flower thought the giant said they were going to kill everyone. That includes civilians

I feel that is more Lily's evil then his. You are right though.

That is fair, however I need to add Hibiki to the world knowing the goddess was lying. At first she suspected it, then was flat out sure after the fight of Fort Stell. Additionally, the people who of the Kazanoa company gave her an obscene amount of help and she would have included them in her super pro Hyuman

@@coffeeovergaming Even if she knows the Goddess is bullshit I feel like Hibiki is in too deep and is emotionally invested in the war. I dont think she has the power defy the Goddess even if she wanted to. Im not trying to excuse her actions but I just dont see her as a blood thirsty maniac yet.

No disrespect, but I do not want to get into a theological discussion about knowledge of ones evil being equal or less evil.

@@coffeeovergaming No problem.

Dude. What hibiki is doing is equivalent to racism. Just like other Japanese before world war and even today though less compared to before. Hibiki is willing to do an extinction war just to eliminate the demon race. Hibiki never looks at what causes the war she's narrow sighted that she only cares for her own opinion. Heck he even disregarded Mio's warning to not mess with Makoto but she still does so by dragging the Kuzunoha company to war. I think it was Clenaysen where the Japanese culture thrives that Makoto was forced to deal with it.

(Insert River Song saying spoilers)

The Goddess's intentions is not to wipe them out, but to enslave them. Hibiki is choosing that it is better to eliminate a whole species of sentient people, because of the bad actions of a handful of them. Consider how many times the MC is targeted and attacked by Hyumans. He never once tries to kill all of them. He does have some disdain, but generally works with them.

Sadly where I used to read it shut down.

try isekailunatic

I feel this anime handles it's world building episodes much better then That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime. Which has had 7 episodes in a row about meetings. Which tbh, I actually enjoy, but I also know that not everyone enjoys it. I do hope you find as much enjoyment in this anime as I have had.

@@coffeeovergaming this one is enjoyable, but i find it abit boring. But at the same time what some people find boring i love, for example Spice & Wolf, i love that anime a lot, even though it's a slow paced with a lot of things the normal person doesn't know (the economics part of the anime)

Tbh, I am just happy you are giving it a chance

​​​@@reiryghts639 She turns into a self-centered delusional hypocrite, but somewhat slowly redeems herself. Slowly as fcking obnoxiously slow. To the point where you just want to get enter their world and her yourself.😂 But it gets interesting as the story goes, on how Makoto will confront the Goddess and who becomes his allies. And there will also be a scene with Makoto and the other trash hero that you'll definitely love once it get animated.

Sadly not that I have heard.

@@coffeeovergaming damn

I'll see about making a video soonish.

Thank you again. By the way, one thing I realized: Don't you think everybody's messed her up? Because she believed everyone lies before she was summoned , She was very cautious in the oregenal world , but or was she's racist from the first place. Everyone missed with her up by brainwashing , gaslighting, manipulating, and so .... In other words, everyone should be called guilty by making her evil ? But what do you think? 🤔 What do you think

Kinda, but also the demon species or race is not even unified in its own way. It has been suggested that the demons are really a collection of Demi Humans who united to survive against the Hyumans.

What made you think I forgot him. My choice in presentation is actually because it has happened more then once. It is a common tactic by facists.

​​@@coffeeovergamingI figured you didn't say his name because of how RU-vid is about certain words.

Now this is ok You have redem this 1:40 to 1:55

That's new, I usually get told I sound like Seth Rogan.

Up to this point in the anime, it makes sense. Once you start seeing her true nature it makes a lot of her behavior look sus.

@@coffeeovergaming she killed her spirit wolf just to get more powerful she's evil anyone that killed animals is truly evil

There may be a difference between the LN and the Manga. Someone told me that it is alive, though I don't remember that being true.

@@coffeeovergaming I haven't read the manga or light novel so I will take your word on it

Then enjoy the anime. They trimmed somethings but overall have been good about being 1 for 1

The water superior dragon wanted to, and gave him a 'poison pill' in many ways, in that she gave him a book on inter-dimensional teleportation so that he would trip up and be removed from the world accidentally when he cast the ritual inside (she didn't think he would beat the demi-god of dimensions) But after he left she tried to scheme with Hibiki on how they could seal him, in the event he wasn't kicked out of the world. Either indirectly (keep him disinterested in the world) or some form of trickery. This is because the dragon is at least wise enough to know that Hibiki has absolutely zero chance against him in a straight fight. However, because the novel has basically been in hiatus for 6 years this plot point has not moved forward.

Yep, and Tomoe put a stop to that with a quickness

Tomoe Killed the Water Dragon.

@@coffeeovergaming You are correct, can't recall if Hibiki knows of that yet. All I recall is that the last time we saw her is when she finally was thoroughly scared of Makoto, but made one last bid at convincing him to join her. To which he basically told her 'no thank you, and your ambitions are terrible' and then they separated and Mio chewed her out.

@@Gromaulthat plot point did move tomoe found out what the water dragon did and she killed her.

I disagree. She has shown no capacity to try to learn, and has even tried to trap Makato in between dimensions before because she realized she had no way to control him

Partly the reason, but the description I gave can apply to a lot of dictators.

@@coffeeovergaming True, but most people are going to think of Adolf the vast majority of the time!

I did drop some spoilers, but I try to limit it to the context of the topic of the story.
