Why does the anime sound more and more like a amongus lobby and why is it so easy to see that the woman with the power glove is the bad guy like they say at the start that she could never be a brave and she is always trying to pin the blame one one guy how is she not dead (and btw if 1 would just die they would know who is fake and not because the symbol would react.

So I have gotten 7 light novels about Rokka No Yuusha including the "Archive 1, Don't pray to the flower" light novels. It baffled me completely as I do not know what volume to start first. The Archive 1 or the first volume of Rokka No Yuusha. If any of you guys know anything about this... Please help me. I want to start the series as quickly as possible as I heard it was a good piece. 😁

porque el manga de rokka no yuusha inicia distinto

As I said just finished the anime it was super good and is definitely up there in terms of my favorites but like the last ~10 minutes of episode 12 just left me thinking WHAT THE HELL. Unless it’s getting a season 2 it seems like an utterly pointless cliffhanger to a great little 12 episodes show, no real point to this I just wanted to share my frustration

I just finished the anime today.

And it seems there’s acctually 8 total braves 2 fakes and I’m wondering does the light novels tell us who the other fake brave is other then the princess. And why there pretending to be a brave

And do any of the Braves die I heard hans dies due to mora which kind of hurts cuz he’s one the more likeable ones and general carried the anime with saving the mc

Hey there, just giving you guys a little bit of that Rokka goodness.

In case you're interested in listening to an alternate version of the second opening. It starts at 0:30

https://youtu.be/ru0BwqA9cjY?si=6vtus0N0vpB2wyuP

This is from the Latin American fandub I begun directing before it was officially dubbed by Crunchyroll.

I honestly believe it is the best spanish cover out there. As always, this couldn't have been done without the help Kryasou!'s voice.

(My intention is not self promoting since I don't post much in that channel anymore)

Edit/ additional info: Now that I think about it, we covered all OP's & ED's I even believe we might have the only adaptations of Dance in the Fake and Nameless heart. You can find them through the various fandubs we released.

"Cry for the truth" can be found throuhg the first 4 episodes.

"Black Swallowtail" is found in episode 5 & 6

"Secret Sky" is in episodes 1 through 4

"Dance in the fake" in episode 5

And "Nameless heart" in episode 6

All sung by Kryasou! for our dub. Enjoy :)

So, since it seems like getting an ending might be near impossible, maybe the fans could continue the story? I'm not that great of a writer (not yet, anyway, I'm practising), but are there capable people who love the story and can find time to write a continuation? Similar to something like what happened with AoT. Is it possible? And if not, what could be the reason(s)?

I want to know if the novel of the main characters was good! Send spoilers please !!

I have heard the anime adopts volume 1 of the light novels, how far does the manga get? Does it adapt much further?

You know the drill 😅😅😅😅😅 that time of the year to ask and get the reply of "Nothing" 💀💀

Hey, first post here.

I just watched the anime and read the manga, and I'm seriously thinking about reading the novel. But I wanna know if there is a possibility that the autor write more and finnally gives and ending to the history.

Honestly I love Rokka no Yuusha, and Adlet Mayer is on my top 3 protagonists. And I would became pretty happy with more of Rokka no Yuusha.

So I finished watching the anime and I won’t lie i’m not much of a reader. I could figure out a lot from summary’s, but how was Fremry and Adelt’s relationship before the novels ended?

I rushed through the last quarter of the book at night before sleep, it was pretty exiting. Is there any other works similar Rokka that you guys can recommend? Its really unfortunate that the series might not even continue.

Just wanted to drop by and share the good news with the sub (and the discord eventually) !

I have not posted in while but my interest in this series is still going strong.

I am admittedly not much of a light novel reader, so this is a first for me. But my order for the volumes 1 through 3 just came in today and I am really excited to read to entire story from start to finish.

I honestly cannot wait to get remaining volumes to complete the collection but also to proudly show my forever appreciation for the series.

To wrap up, I am curious to know what versions of books you own. Did you all buy the physical books, purchase the digital versions or read the fan translations ?

***Also if anyone knows where I can get ahold of physical copies of volumes 4 and 5 I would be forever grateful !

TLDR : I am back with more thoughts on episode 2 !

I am back with more thoughts on episode 2 !

• Do we get a more in depth explanation of how the magic system works ? Specifically the full potential and limitations of saints. Nashetanya alone had me impressed, seeming powerful enough to take out entire armies that is if she does not hold back. Also one thing I have noticed is that all saints seem to possess a magical focus/object of somekind which they use to channel their powers. For example a wand for Nashetanya, winchester rifle for Fremy, the flower looking thing for Chamo and armored gantlets for Mora. To followup on the potential aspect.
• Who is the saint who regretted become one that Adlet’s alludes to in this episode ?
• Same question as above but this time applying to the female nature of sainthood. It is stated that god in-universe might have a preference towards female saints but have there ever been male saints ?
• Why did Nashetanya act nervous upon entering the Gwenbyer forest ? Feels like I missed something given how things turn out later in the story. Was it all an act or was she perhaps having second thoughts about her plans ?
• Is there any kind of common characteristic, theme or consistancy when it comes to the fiends biology ? Because their designs here leads me to think there may not be any as they are kind of all over the place (Admitting that the CGI could have been a lot better). Sometimes taking on animal features and other times seeming as wholly original in their appearance.

We're given more down time with the Adlet and Nashenya this episode , which is great as get to learn more about them both.

Nashetanya is suprisingly sweet seeming in this episode and on rewatch seemed like a bit of a redherring with regards to her relationship with Adlet but there was clearly a lot of foreshadowing going on here..

To further elaborate on Nashetanya charming behavior, her comments about thinking fruits grew on plates when she was a child and stealing from those unsuspecting villagers made her out to be this lively and high-spirited person that could do no wrong and someone out of her element like a fish out of water.

That being said these down earth « slice of life » moments are interspersed with other more suspicious ones like that one time she attacks Adlet out of the blue excusing it as overexcitment. Or on a more subjective note the hinting at her tragic past which seemed a little fishy to me.

Given how powerful Nashetanya is depicted to be, I have a hard time believing that she and her family could somehow be sidelined from Piena ruling body, relegated as nothing but mere puppets. On a more positive note this episode gives us early insight into Nashetanya beliefs and life philosophy.

Even considering how things turn out after episode 12, I feel that this desire for « world » peace was one of the more genuine parts of her character this season. Makes me wonder what other aspects of her behavior during this first season was genuine, and to give merit the « Adlet X Nashetanya » shippers just how much of her behavior towards Adlet and Goldov was genuine and fake. That being I can totally see Nashetanya spinninng both Adlet and Goldov just for fun.

We also get our first glimpses into Adlet’s backstory when he tries to cheer up Nashetanya in what seemed like a moment of weakness. I will be honest the way he went about it made me a little uneasy, a bit unconvinced but the message was clear and still heartwarming though. I have also noticed Adlet’s small comment about the nature of his master’s teachings and the training he endured a lot more this time. And it makes me all the more curious to see what their true relationship was like and just what kind of man Atro really was, especially given that beating flashback scene shown in a later episode. Adlet’s fight against the fiends, shows us more of that same skillset and equipment he used in the tournament semi-finals. I love the trope of characters compensating for their weaknesses with strategy and or special crafted equipment, it also makes him standout from the other braves which are almost all overpowered except for maybe Hans.

The mention of the sun saint Riura’s disappearance, which I kind of missed on first watched dropped some major early clues as to the case of the seventh brave. It makes me appreciate the way the mystery investigative aspect more. The fact that Nashetanya of all people is the one to bring up this fact unprompted or unasked was probably an early giveaway of the culprit identity.

Fremy and Goldov both make their debut in this episode as well. Although I do not really have much to say on Goldov’s first appearance given that the we do not get to see a whole lot of him. However more than perfectly he lives up to his character description and archetype what with him being a litteral knight in shining armor in the service of magical princess. This might a little early to comment of this aspect but while Goldov’s devotion to princess is understable given his motivations, it something that still irks me with his character. I aknowledge how hypocritical this is but I somehow find Adlet’s romantic pursuit of Flemy to much more endearing that Goldov’s relationship with Nashetanya which was felt like a very onesided affair and very heartwrenching to watch. That being said I liked how he is portrayed as a kind of tortured soul with potential for lots of character growth potential. I hope this is adressed more later on the story but I wish we got more insight into his mind in this first season. His design also is not too bad, although I wish he had been wearing more platearmor though to give him even more of a knightly feel and make his outfit less revealing.

Now unto Fremy, right of the bat she is portrayed a dark and brooding type but with gentle side. With her showing compassion for animals in saving those two dogs but at the same time being more than willing to raise a gun against others namely Adlet. The former’s reaction to seeing Fremy for the first time is priceless and was clearly setting up a love at first sight type of scenario. Same as Goldov, her design is not bad either, I especially love the flower in her and her eyepatch with make an instant great first impression. That said though, here moreso than with Goldov, I really wish they had given her a more elaborate garb or outfit something less revealing also but I am not complaining or anything. Fremy and Adlet’s relationship is off to tumultuous start which made me really eager to see how the strongest man in the world was going to enlist this new party member. Funnily enough I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed with how it unfolded in the next episode.

Final verdict another good episode even though the story seems to be slightly slowing down and the quest to defeat the demon king god all but slow but surely being put on the backburner for laying down the groundworks with regards to the main characters and their interpersonal dynamics.

TLDR : Re-watching the show and I just wanted to give my random thoughts while I move along the episodes and ask a few questions while I wait to get the novels :

TLDR : Re-watching the show and I just wanted to give my random thoughts and ask a few questions while I wait to get the novels :

• Do the novels ever reveal what the characters were up to right before the beginning of the story ( by this I do not mean their full backstories though as some of that is hinted at in later episodes) ?
• What are Adlet's motivations for interrupting the fighting tournament, was he just being his typical cocky self or was there more to it ?
• Is the reason why Nashetanya sports a pair of giant bunny ears ever formally addressed in the story? Are half-humans half animals hybrids a thing in-universe ?
• What is up with Nashetanya's "scent of apples" was it a clue for what unfolded at the end of the series ?
• Does the novel go more into detail about the world ? Also ss the Aztec aesthetic/inspiration limited to the anime or was it already there in the novel ?

​

Don't mean to be too much of much of nuisance but since I figured it might be a few days before I can get my hands light novel volumes I have been rewatching the show on repeat given how much I loved it. This time around I wanted to post some of thoughts about the show here then later on in discord while I rewatch the whole thing again.

​

For a first episode, this one is surprisingly faced paced and wastes no time at getting the viewers caught up to speed with the main plot point and the world at large. There was never a moment in this episode where I was bored with no noticeable slowing of plot.

​

The Aztec aesthetic of the world was one the first things that caught my attention with a clip of Adlet's performance in the tournament being the main thing that spurred me on. Makes we wish we got to see more of the world before jumping in straight into the meat of things. But it is not a big deal considering it was never the main focus.

​

Adlet's first appearance and actions in this first episode felt oddly familiar and not all that unexpected. His character design having always given me a kind of mischievous, trouble maker, trickster gof feel.

​

Now unto my first question, I bet this is probably already answered in the novels but I am curious to know what Adlet was doing in the time before "graduating" for his training and coming to the city.

Also while I understand this episode was meant to give us some insight into Adlet's character which it did well, I have a hard time understand is full reasoning in interrupting the tournament fight. It did wonders at showing Adlet's more rash, carefree and fun side but what would have happened if he never got branded with the saint of six flowers emblem. Was he really just going to spend his entire life walled up in this jail cell and at least spend time devising an escape ? I personally like to interpret this scene as Adlet's way of catching either the saint of the single flower or Nashetanya's attention as an already known saint and expected brave candidate. Still seemed like a show poor judgement or outrageous overconfidence/recklessness on Adlet's part which I find really funny and in my opinion quite fitting of his character.

​

His catchphrase of being "the strongest man in the world" was both bold (as in serious or striking) and comedic. I love how it became a running gag of the series later on, and a meme for the fans on discussion boards. I was half expecting it to be true through upon first viewing of his hijacking the tournament's semi-finals since I so used to "shounen" tropes. And I absolutely loved that the mere thought of this idea being reality was nipped in bud this early on. While this may not have been all that original I think it was a nice touch. Showing Adlet's bad actions immediately catching up to him and having to experiencing the full brunt of the consequences, well that is at least until the princess saves him anyway. I also made me wonder as to the true meaning of the words "strongest man of the world" adding layers to his character.

​

In hindsight there was a lot more to Nashetanya's debut than I thought. I didn't not quite catch in on first viewing as I really wanted to give her the benefit of doubt given how kind she behaves early on. However Her first true interactions with Adlet were clearly premeditated. Giving me an overly childish, spoiled brat or carefree kind of feeling which was too good to be true. Her keen interest in Adlet's character was definitely very supicious and her comments on his naivety or stupidity show that she always had dubious or devious motivations from the start. I also find the timing of her and adlet's escape too convenient to have been anything but mere happenstance. I mean what are the odds of Nashetanya coming out the free Adlet of his confinement but minutes after his branding with the six flowers emblem. Than again it may have just been me misinterpreting the timeline of events.

Now unto to another question of mine, I don't know if this is already answered somewhere in the story but I feel like we never get an explanation as to Nashetanya's bunny ears or attire. Was she a half human half animal hybrid or something ? Regardless of what comes after in the story what with Fremy's backstory and all. Because I thought there were only really two "factions" in the story. The first being humans and the second "fiends". On a side note, I have gathered from reading the discussion forums, that this aspect of Nashetanya's character design was a little divisive with some not being to bothered by it while others having found it a tad bit offputting. I personally don't mind and I even find the bunny ears to be great foreshadowing of her role at the end of the show. Can someone please tell me what the what the deal about Nashetanya giving off a scent of apples to Adlet, I feel like I missed an important plot ploint.

​

All in all this was a great episode and a good all around introduction the story, the world and its characters. I do not have anything bad to say about this episode as there was never any real dull or slow moment and plot just kept moving along at fast pace.

To finish this off, I would like to say I really enjoyed what little is played of the soundtrack in this first episode as well. Adding on to that I loved both the opening and the ending. Didn't quite like it at first but "Cry for the Truth" from Michi really great on me as the series went along, so much so that by the end it became a new favorite anime opening of mine. The ending however is still my favorite of the bunch, "Secret Sky" is such a different track than what I am used to listening to I honestly love it so much. The wide range of instruments used in this fits perfectly with Adlet's character I feel.

I am fresh off of watching the anime which has left me in such awe and joy that I have become obsessed with it. I feel like this show has reverted me back to a child like state, I am born again with feelings of such glee. I consider it to be one of the more enjoyable experiences I have had which cements its place as newfound favorite series of mine.

Oddly enough it comes at a rough time in my life as I am dealing with a some personal issues but I feel that this story has filled me back up with hope. At the risk of coming off as shallow, I am one those people who tends to live vicariously to fictional main characters and as such I have particularly related to Adlet Mayer's struggles and his whole outlook on life. It is surprising how human some of the characters in this story feel well in my opinion at least. And as cliche as Atro Spiker's words to young Adlet are, I do not why why but they have never felt as real or heartfelt in other works of fiction I have seen as they have in this show.

"He Who Can Smile even when he's so sad that he wants to die, when it's so painful that he wants to give it all up and run away, is the one who becomes strong. Smile more! Laugh at despair!" - Atro SPIKER

Now I acknowledge that this is not a line of thought without its own faults but it is one of the most interesting themes and teachings I got from the show and I even think it applies to current state of this franchise and its fandom. Because having spoiled myself already on the ending of the indefinite hiatus and sixth light novel of the series, I will admit to being a little disappointed as it put an end to some of delusions but also my favorite character relationship (as shallow as it is). However as depressing as the thought of reading the light novels is I think I might eventually give it a shot anyway.

I am forever grateful to the Ishio Yamagata and all parties involved for bringing us this gem of a story and I am really hoping we get a definitive ending one day.

But no matter what happens I will keep laughing at despair !

Is the LN worth reading? The anime was pretty good so I was hoping to catch up storywise. Plus, does anyone know if the story will end soon? I've heard it's on hiatus so I'm curious.

It's no exaggeration when I say that Rokka no Yuusha Volume 2 is one of the most enjoyable novels I've ever read. It was heavily drenched with drama and suspense to the point it was almost impossible to put down. This volume boldly opens up with a scene of Mora standing over Hans' dead body while a flustered Rolonia desperately tries to heal him. It's a daring choice to have such a heavy spoiler within the first few pages, but learning what led up to it is just as interesting.

Mora is the primary focus of this volume which means readers get a deep dive into her psyche. I was initially annoyed with Mora due to how determined she was in the first volume to antagonize Adler any chance she got. It struck me as odd that the wisest of braves acted so headstrong and even used deception to further increase tensions against Adlet. We then discover the reasoning behind her madness; a fiend general infected Mora's daughter with a parasite that will kill the girl unless Mora kills one of the braves before a certain date. This internal drama puts Mora in a much more sympathetic light and makes the readers root for her even when her deceptive ways appear once again. She's definitely a morally complex character that's much more layered than I expected her to be.

Besides Mora's inner conflict, there's still the issue of the seventh brave. The group remains suspicious of each other and often keeps at an arm's distance for fear of becoming a victim. I feel that the seventh may not be a malicious person due to their lack of action. They had multiple chances to make their attack on the squad but have yet to do so. It's possible the 7th might have been forced into their position or may not even be aware they're fake. In any case, the Braves' distrust of each other is possibly as deadly as the fiends.

I have to give praise to Ishio Yamagata for his natural talent for keeping readers on their toes. The fight scenes were vividly described with rich detail and Tgurneu's witty tactics made it impossible to predict what he'd do next. It's clear that the Braves are vastly outmatched by the fiends' numbers and strength which begs the question of how they'll ever stand a chance against the Majin. It was incredibly satisfying reading Adlet deduce Tgurneu's scheme since that was the only real form of victory the group has made thus far. It's a small step in the right direction.

As someone who only watched the anime,what are some of the things in the Light Novels that i need to know about her ? Do they go more in dept about her personality ? her Saint powers are really just manipulating fate as she pleases ? The Demon King must be very powerful to hurt her if she can so.
