Now I'm sad he doesn't have a special eye because I can't stop imagining him as a chunibyo.

I don't know about that. It's usually those who can't restrain their killing hands that tend to be the greatest cowards of all.

I mean, probably an emotional coward, sure

But remember the awful child's first introductory moment was carving up his own head to get a chance to become a swordsmaster. Incubus is ambitious in a way that's absolutely, poisonously overpowering. He thinks that the amoral law of the sword is the only justice in this rotten world.

The guy sucks, but he sucks in specific and interesting ways!

it is useful to remember that being skilled with swords does not have a connection with being a good person.

in fact, we have pretty good evidence that it is the exact opposite that is the case!

It's true, Maya is also quite skilled with swords.

He was a coward by nature. An unparalleled master of sword law, who only knew how to kill and maim. An exceptionally poor swordsman.

Guess that's not him then.

Oh, I honestly thought it was my slight comparison of precognitive monks to jedi that set him off. I also included boss baby as a self jab there. I deleted said tweet after I saw his every reason to be salty tweet.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around how anybody can think K6BD is just like Star Wars beyond the broadest of strokes unless that's the only other media they've ever consumed.

Yeah people have been ripping off Star Wars like that for a while. It’s just like when Peter Jackson made a series where Frodo left his idyllic homeland and went on an adventure to save the world.
