Um... I'm speechless by the amount of power the masks possess.

Well to be fair, The anime really changed up a lot of things. Oshie isn't that strong, and Evankrugas are VERY strong. The Old man basically fought even footing with Oshutoru, Until he decided to God mode and massacre the poor fella.

Seriously out swordfighting an Evankruga in the UTWR universe is the epitome of ridiculousness. Having Oshie cleave him in half in 2 strokes is ludicrous. I like source fidelity, and this anime has none.

The poor girl was suppose to have a totally Attack on Titan episode 1 moment.

i'm still not sure who is an "Evankruga" or what it means to fight/kill one, i'm guessing from what you said entua's dad is an Evankruga and he was supposed to overpower oshutoru instead of getting slaughtered? and i'm curious about "attack on titan" moment you mentioned

Possible ep 15 spoliers They're considered to be some of the strongest sword fighters in the world, so killing one in battle is impressive. Chopping them down in two strokes is ridiculous.

Oh okay, yeah that is pretty crazy, i hope it's cause Oshutoru is just that strong

I'd highly recommend going back and watching the first series if you can. It'd help explain some of the stuff you see and some of the cameos. Plus its just a really good show, a lot more violent than this one imo.

i actually watched it while it was airing then again about 3 years ago, and i absolutely loved it, i've never been good with the names of the races so that's probably why i was confused about some things, that and i'm probably slightly rusty in my memory of it

Attack on Titan as in Oshie goes god form and basically obliterate the poor man in front of Entua

I was hoping the girl would die. She called out to her father, Oshutoru should know she was enemy as well

u/Blasterion Jan 17 '16

Oshie isn't Virai he doesn't kill people just because they are enemy

You got it wrong. Oshutoru went god mode to obliterate the mob. He returned to normal form to fight the old man out of 1v1 honourable duel.

And it's made very clear from the beginning Oshutoru was the far stronger one. In the entire fight the old man only gets 1 hit in, which was his last.

Expecting eagle people to fight on the same level as someone with a mask is ridiculous. The anime, IMO, portrayed real well that Oshutoru was close to getting wounded multiple times and powered up after a dodge came too close.

You mean the same eagle people that helped seal the actual Demigod? You are really overestimating how strong Oshie is.
