Aqua is going to try and murder Ainz, who is going to be super jealous of wiz still having skin, emotions and sex organs.

Isn't one of Ainz's tropes that he is good at maintaining the appearance of his avatar? Like everyone automatically assumes he's terrifying and threatening? I feel like everyone will quake at him.

I feel that the Winter Shogun and Hans were way scarier for Kazuma.

Kazuma fears powerful monsters but he has NO RESPECT for other 'players' with overpowered, unearned avatars, so it's fifty fifty.

Hunt11 posted:He could work wonders with any of the other protagonists as he would no longer have to carry the burden of being the only relatively sane member of the party or organization. this was the crux of the party swap chapter, where kazuma can shine really well when he's not chained to the chucklefuck brigade though he arguably gets more done with said chucklefucks so i guess it works out chiasaur11 posted:He got one cheat item. Because Aqua was a poo poo to him, he picked dragging her along to make her suffer. This lead to more suffering for Kazuma. tbf despite how actively detrimental she is most of the time she IS the only reason he's still alive, so good choice i guess???

IIRC, didn't the author say at some point that if Kazuma had picked literally anything other than Aqua as his cheat item he'd have crushed the Demon King already?

Kazuma would have never found the diary of his predecessor and would have unwittingly retraced his exact steps to develop a mobile destroyer fortress MKII edit: also a sadist maid bot that probably would have looked sorta like Aqua

The badass death easily makes up for the other two. I like the idea of Kazuma being able to run great with a 'normal' crew, but it's all small if consistent victories. Only with the dysfunctional minmax crew, though, would he ever do poo poo like bring down a city leveling unstoppable magical death machine ... even if it might be his fault it's rampaging in the first place.

There was also the time where the girls literally murdered him for his chicanery and then Eris asked him not not die in such stupid ways.

I actually went ahead and caught up on the Overlord manga in my free time. I have some complaints but first and foremost I am incredibly confused by the idea of a crossover now.

If it relied on Aqua in any way it was not a solid plan.

Overlord is best when it shifts from Ainz' perspective to that of others, which is why the adaptations tend to be weaker since they carve a lot of that stuff out.

Subaru's power was given to him by forces unknown and for reasons unknown so for all he knows they could be taken away just as arbitrarily making whatever life he's on his last chance. Which probably makes him a bit gun-shy about acting too rashly. I mean, he's a dipshit a lot of the time, but brute forcing his was forward by dying a lot doesn't necessarily seem like the best solution given what little he knows.

Ranzear posted:[*]#2 Youjo Senki - Tanya succeeds out of absolute unstoppable spite. The others have deities helping rather than impeding them at every chance (Aqua aside). Tanya is the most 'downgraded' protag of any isekai I've seen, stripped of gender, size, and importance, but climbs right out of that poo poo to be a literal engine of war. Alright, but Tanya does have super god powers and magic, as well as a 21st century education.

Ranzear posted:[*]#∞ Re:Zero - Subaru succeds out of cosmic pity. He's literally immortal and could groundhog day his way into any skill or knowledge, but just does the same poo poo over and over. It's not until someone who is guaranteed to have zero knowledge of his situation gives up and takes him seriously out of the blue and holds his hand through the rest of the plot that he succeeds in a meaningful way. Congratulations, you completely missed the point, a point the series is never exactly subtle about considering it's one of the pillars of Subaru's character. Death really, really, REALLY sucks, and constantly dying is only hurting him psychologically, not helping him. Re:Zero goes against the usual "death is fine, you'll just be brought back" by pointing out the obvious: we have a primal fear of death for a reason, now imagine going constantly through it, and worse, having your memories never really match the world due to constant resets. Being Subaru isn't "oh yay, immortality in a cool isekai!". Being Subaru really loving sucks. That he manages to still continue on despite getting both physically and mentally devastated constantly every arc is proof of mental fortitude, considering he shows how he could just break down and never really continue with his suffering. HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Alright, but Tanya does have super god powers and magic, as well as a 21st century education. Yeah, she has super god powers. She also really loving hates having super god powers, because she needs to horribly humilliate herself by praying to Being X to use them. It's a hilarious subversion, and it only happened because she was too goddamn proud to lower her head - which is weird, coming from someone that believes in the corporate ladder so hard. But her atheism triumphs over it, not to mention her complete hatred of Being X. I'm not sure if Isekai Quartet will be good but at the very least, Tanya interacting with Aqua should prove amazing.
