Have you ever spoken to a child? Do we have a background of the characters to see how their day to day goes?

I don't mean to offend, but a 5 minute session isn't doing crap.
If he hasn't in how many months he's being bullied (I can hardly remember the context) spoken to his mother, fat chance a 5 minute session won't do crap.
Realistically no teenager is going to completely address the issue in 5, 10 or even 60 minutes. That's a therapy session + multiple day chipping, and that's just to open up the issue.

From a character perspective, the mother isn't at fault at all. From a maternal perspective, I would criticize the depth of relationship they've grown if he doesn't have the informal assertiveness with, even his own mother, to speak up; but again that's the case with alot of real life scenarios and is also extremely circumstantial.

Characters simply aren't mcguffins for solving issues. There is nuance. Yes, "why didn't x just go to y person" is a common plot hole in various stories overall, but it isn't hard to rationalise why that might not exactly work/function perfectly. To add to that, it's a story. At the end not only do you need to have an extremely likely out to the conflict when addressing these kinds of narrative points, you have to consider the likelihood from the author's perspective.

How easy it is for him to write, and by extension how common is it, to simply ignore the "out"?

After all, it boils down to a yes or no decision, and minds are complex enough to not need complete explanation in literature. Piccolo not using his finger stretching technique in 10 years isn't a plot hole because it's really easy to say "well out of everything he could be using, he doesn't NEED to use finger, so he decided not to?" or "he just didn't consider it".

Like, in stories, not only would [the mother addressing the problem] have to be completely possible in almost every regard, as an option for either character, but it also has to be a consideration that's far more likely than the other options to be a legitimate issue tbf.

The general consensus of the comment section at my time was that "najin is in a sticky situation"

and there's no realistic way for him to get out that's also acceptable story wise, as far as I know

we know najin isn't dead but I feel unless this was permediated a regular ass dude has no way to dodge telekenisis and a fucking impalement via mythical dragon
even the illusion thing gets thrown out the window, he couldn't possibly react fast enough

Always remember this is fiction, just imagine everyone getting up from their deaths or betrayals or fights or arguments, taking off the cosplay and chilling for a nice drink@all

Well this story is hardly a reflection of the real world, still I see the argument here.
But narratively (love that word) it hardly makes for a "morally satisfactory" end.


They are reducing what's essentially the epitome of the arc to side characters, which makes for a very anticlimactic end. Imposing in universe maybe but not far away from what we've seen before, and then without that "story climax".

Are you really saying "and then a big monster appeared and killed them all" is a well written ending?
Character wise there isn't even any effort into that, all that build up to gather them only to be majorly off screened? They could have done that one by one, or in a myriad of different ways.


I guess they justify it later with the mc brother freak out but yeah, simply killing a select group both in universe (mentioned in og comment since that literally can't have possibly been all the corrupt officials" and out of universe (audience wise I at least find this unimpressive) of the corrupt means practically nothing. The kind of thing you'd see in a manga filler arc...

Damn. I see what you mean; narratively it's just a weird insert for the styling of the scene to drastically change, and it would be horrible writing if it was done solely for a suspense factor.
Then under that pretext imaging everything as genuine leaves very VERY little room for conspiracy. Obviously I don't think Najin is done here, the story is far from over, but without something really clever he/we lose alot of the build up from the past few chapters.
Guess I just wanted to justify my reading time, I acknowledge there's a multitude of ways this could go about but 7/10 times it's gonna be a plot convenient mess.

?????

I'm just providing an alternative POV. A comment section being one note is bland and boring, since there is no discussion.

No ill intent here, I just mean to say I don't feel it lines up with what we've seen in these characters, and I explain it more in detail (albeit probably poorly I write these on whims) above.

Would be more than glad for someone to correct me (eg with the lifeline thing, I'd love clarity there. Or the dragon name thing, wasn't that important ages ago? But most importantly if there's narrative severity to the "betrayal" that I'm missing, which could make this thought process more ingestible (the idea najin is in part screwed))

Cooked is an understatement.
KASHIMO was cooked.
HIGARUMA was cooked.
A roided yuta and immortal yuji, was cooked.

Higuruma afaik is the miwa level of this arc, bro isn't cooked.
He is CLOBBERED.
He is genuine to god boutta be OBLITERATED.
If he ain't going further beyond right now he isn't even lasting a MICROSECOND man,
Look at maki. That's less than 2 chapters istg. LESS THAN TWO CHAPTERS, THIS WOMAN IS ON PAR WITH FUCKING TOJI FUSHIGURO OF ALL PEOPLE.


yeah needless to say he's in a bit of a pickle
