Just a thought.
Fulland getting his name scrambled in the English translation is like Modaka's gimmick of his name always being said wrong, but actually happening.
No, just vol 17 and 18 of the main series. Thought of it as I was rereading 18.
Just a thought.

This is off topic, but I know that you have said English is not your first language. I want to say that you did a great job of articulating yourself, regardless of the prior fact. Taking that into account, your English proficiency is honestly really amazing. I just wanted to say that.
That aside, I agree with what you posted regarding emotional maturity and the such.
I thought the early SO LNs having small retcons made sense, given that they were written way later and the plot of MS had been more solidly planned. However, SO13 and MS19 seem to have minor conflicts themselves.
I assume that this is because Lefiya doesn't exist if you only read MS, so SO gets to have its own scenes with Bell interacting with stuff involving Lefiya, but MS needs to have its events avoid Lefiya's presence.
Regardless, Omori isn't writing the overall scenario consistently between the two series. That is a bit odd given that he can write out both together and try to avoid that.
Has Omori talked about why he has different instances happening for the same event between SO and MS recently?
Question: What skills do we know that provide status effect resistances?
Off the top of my head, Finn has something that increases resistance to something and Bell got Vanadis Tevere, giving him charm resistance. I don't think Realis Freese counts, since that doesn't list the resistance in its effects.
Do we know how the strength of the no-charge firebolt is relative to the strength of any other magics or magic types, given Bells massive magic stat?
Like, Alfia had a one word super-short chant magic that was pretty strong as a level 7. I wonder how strong his base firebolt would be when he gets stronger.
I mostly mean if his firebolt would be comparable to another character's magic at a given time. Like if current level 5 Bell's chantless magic without the mage DA is comparable to a level 3 mage's short chant magic, like Lefiya's Arcs Ray.
I hope that Ryuu and Lili get along well. Lili seems to have a similar job in Hestia Familia as Lyra did for Astraea Familia.
Personally, I'd enjoy having Ryuu being able to get along with Lili, too, independent of any stuff with Bell.
Is excelia and status objective or fair, in-universe? Like, is talent something that lets you earn more excelia or is earning more excelia the criteria for talent?
Oh, that's interesting. Thank you for sharing :)
@ThatRabidPotato Hello, I've never heard the phrase "eat crow" before. Is that a saying at where you live? Is there a special significance to eating crow meat?
I'm curious about what inspirations he has for writing Danmachi from his time growing up. I personally like author afterwords and getting to see what the author is putting from their own life into the story.
I would also like to know if Omori has gained any favorite places or ways to learn about various myths and background about religions. Education can be very interesting and especially when it ties into something you are passionate about.
Did he say that recently or a while ago? I presume on twitter.
Alright, poor wording on my part. Sorry about that.
I guess you could argue his Luck Development Ability is having plot happen back to back so that he can level up. It is forced both in-story and out.
Although, in fairness, Omori gave Bell the plot convenience related development ability at the start, in this case.
I see. I thought the author meant write another appearance during the main series or SO. I didn't realize he just intended to write him into canon event, as well.
If he isn't going to show up again, it seems odd to have him live after the event, though.
Looked at Vito's page and saw under trivia that the author wanted to write using him in the main timeline.
I imagine that won't happen, though.
It seems like Vito would be too weak to be a threat to Bell. He was an Evilus member, so maybe Loki Familia second stringers could fight him.
@Leinad91 I agree that it is not the best. I have different thoughts on the matter, though.
To start with, I imagine that the Xenos have all likely killed several people in past and possibly their current life. I feel like monsters can be compared to animals that act with large regard to instinct, but Xenos are fundamentally different in behavior and thoughts.
Given that, it seems like the problem is not the previous life where the monster had no free will in killing several people. They were simply agents of the dungeon's will, after all. The problem should be that despite being a sentient Xenos, the Juggernaut seems to still be very malicious, akin to most normal monsters.
Personally, I feel like it is a waste of an opportunity to have a genuinely antagonistic Xenos. To add more nuance to the complications that exist with reconciling the relationship between humanity and Xenos.
An actually evil Xenos would bring up legitimate fears that average people could have about the living super-human monsters that would supposedly live beside them.
This would feed into the types of things Bell would have to confront in bridging the Xenos and Humanity. Especially because monsters having a history of massacring people as the precedent that Bell must overcome.
People hate monsters due to the past, but acknowledging that Xenos are individuals and are subject to the same thoughts and morality as people is something that should get addressed to build the future. The evil Xenos could even be compared to Evilus, for reference. An evil that is very dangerous and must genuinely be confronted.
In this path, the challenges of having to deal with the image of the Xenos in light of dangerous individuals could be interesting to tackle, with good writing.
It would also give us moral evaluation of the Xenos as individuals, rather than as a group. The details in the summary given make it sound like the Xenos are universally put into one camp, but an evil Xenos that wants to attack other monsters and people should probably be treated more akin to a mass murderer rather than the average Xenos.
That said, I suppose complaining too much without details is unfair. I don't know how Omori actually chose to write the interactions nor the discussions around the new Juggernaut-Peluda.
You do realize it has been forced since book 1 right?
I agree, personally. I was explaining the general idea behind each complaint to contextualize why neither complaint contradicts the other, despite initial appearances.
I was just pointing out that its funny that people rotate between these two things as if its new or just started *happaning.
*happening (This is more for me than for you.)
Honestly, I disagree here. You already mentioned that Omori is not a good writer and that various problems have been present for the whole series. As a result, both complaints come about constantly. They are neither new nor odd, so it seems pretty understandable.
Now, for your original comment, I assume you were responding to my original post. I guess that you think I have some problem with the complaints, but I was more curious about how people felt about the scenes with Eina, as I never saw anyone bring them up. I don't really care about the complaints about Ais, themselves. I was curious about why people ignored the scenes with Eina, given that they seemed to be as applicable for the complaints I had seen regarding who remembered Bell.
If you were not responding to my post, I apologize for the confusion.
"Fans gotta make up there minds lmfao"
"Fans" are not one person. "Fans" means many people who will have many different thoughts.
Asking a group of people to all have one opinion is ridiculous.
"people get mad when Ais isn't in the story but somehow she is still endgame for Bell. Than people get mad when Ais is in the story and cries out abuse of plot."
This is odd as a complaint even if we imagine the same person having both thoughts.
The first thought makes sense when Ais is set up to be the main relationship but is not given enough story justification, time, or development for that relationship. If you want more of any of those things, asking for Ais to appear more makes sense. Otherwise, you have a dissatisfying story.
Second thought makes sense together with the first. If the relationship between Ais and Bell is progressing or shown as a result of a contrived or forced scenario, then we become aware of the hand of the author. That is dissatisfying for a reading experience.
So, both complaints make sense together, rather than being contradictory, like you seem to claim.
@StinkyPete12 I don't think it is a mystery for the other series, considering SO is optional. That would also be bad for the main series as the sword plot point would never be concluded from the perspective of people only reading one series.
As for relation to Ais, I believe that was guaranteed, thinking back. I think the ambiguity was around a "She" that Finn and Roymann mentioned.
