We've had an influx of shitty isekai powertrip shows for a while now, like Arifureta, but usually those shows pretend to have a semblance of challenge for the main character. Meanwhile, this show asks the important question: what if we took the power tripping of the main character to its logical extreme? what if the main character literally one shots everything with a thought?

And the answer is, expectedly, not great. The fights are awful, most characters are completely irrelevant and forgettable, the world-building is also awful, and even the jokes are quite poor. A lot of these issues comes from the mishandling of its premise, and let's take a dive into the repercussions of power tripping on the rest of the show.

First, let's establish the boundaries of the main character here. Yogiri can and will kill anything. His power works at a thought, has no limits on distance, has no cost, no upper limits, works on both living beings and inanimate objects, and can be narrowed down to destroy specific parts as opposed to the whole thing. Not only that, he can detect killing intent, which also has no limits on distance. In other words, if someone tries to attack him with, say, a sniper rifle from a mile away, he will destroy your trigger finger, then kill you, without ever even looking in your direction.

Oh, and for whatever reason, stuff he damages can't be regenerated, even if you say, rip off your hand and grow a new one, however that works.

It's not hard to see why this guy is said to end power level debates: his entire power set is basically "no LOL", and the show revolves around characters of varying power sets challenging the MC, only for them to get nonchalantly one-shotted.

With that comes the first problem: the fights aren't in any way interesting. Every single fight is over the moment Yogiri starts caring. img

Regardless of any power sets, regardless of any potential factors, the only difference it makes for Yogiri is if he's feeling generous that day. There's some praise for the varied power sets in this show (if you like that, PLEASE watch Jojo's bizzare adventure, don't look for it in this garbage), but any power sets or power levels or how they are used are completely irrelevant because the usage of any power is always going to be framed in the context of being used against Yogiri, who is immune to everything ever.

For an analogy, you could pull any gun you want with any sort of trick shots or modifications, that means absolutely nothing if your opponent is ~~Goku~~ Vegeta.

There are no fights that lasts more than 30 seconds, there's no trick that goes anywhere. What's more, opponents that should be conventionally challenging are often killed instantly as a joke.

There's no indication if any fights are going to actually be played out or be a joke, and therefore there's no reason to care about any given fight. This scene was from an arc that spent 2 episodes building up to a world-destroying dark god, and he was killed off, off-screen, as a joke.

Speaking of jokes, let's talk about the second problem, which is villains. A villain is always framed against a character, and they must present a threat to a character in some way, whether physically or psychologically. However, because all the threats are focused on the overpowered main character, and all threats are presented as fights, it's impossible to actually establish anyone as a threat. They actually do several attempts, like making a character who might be totally immune to the MC's bullshit-

-who then runs away at the sight of him as a joke.

There's also a character that spends 3 episodes murdering her way through the MC's classmates, who supposedly comprises very powerful people-

-who then gets one shotted.

In other words, regardless of what they are presented as, villains completely fail to be threats due to how powerful the main character is. The main antagonist, Sage Shion, only survives episode 1 because the main character happens to sleep through her appearance. Once they actually engage in combat, she completely submits within about 2 minutes. Side villains are treated with much less dignity: how quickly they die is entirely dependent on how the main character is feeling. The dark god that the show spent 2 episodes building up to was killed offscreen because the main character thought he was creepy. The aforementioned serial killer that the show spent 3 episodes building up was killed without so much a comment from him. They are presented as less of a threat than literally some random bullies from episode 1. There is, once again, absolutely no reason to care about any villains that appears. There's no telling how long they will stick, and there's no telling if they will just be killed completely unceremoniously or not. Any given arc could just be building up to a wet fart.

In the same vein, the supporting cast is completely pointless as well. Once again, threats are only presented as physical ones, and there's nothing that can even come close to threatening the main character. As a result, there's nothing for any supporting cast to contribute. The only thing Tomochika does the entire show is quip (usually to villains' corpses). She's so completely irrelevant she never even gets held as hostage or kidnapped.

This builds up into the third issue, which is world building. In a battle shonen like this one, world-building is often informed via its power sets and its villains. However, powers aren't relevant, because they are all useless compared to the main character's. Villains aren't relevant, because they are all useless compared to the main character. In that end, what does any world-building matter? There are several plot lines in the show that ties into its villains. There's a whole conspiracy that the Sages summon people from other worlds to mind control them into being their servants, but the main character just kills all the on-screen sages, so it also means absolutely nothing.

Similarly, Episode 5 to 7 establishes the world to have a dark god that has to be sealed away and a complicated murder-ritual used to select the seal's guardian. But since the main character simply deletes the dark god afterwards as a joke, the entire 3 episode arc, and its world-building, means absolutely nothing.

Speaking of jokes, this whole series has one joke, which is the underestimation gag: someone tries to attack the main character with some special power thinking he's easy prey, gets one shotted. This joke gets used multiple times every single episode. You might as well just play the indy GIF on loop 50 times:

It also makes vague references to other isekais, but references aren't jokes. Especially since they do absolutely nothing with them except just do the underestimation gag again. If the bar is that low then Dragonball Z, which uses both of these tropes quite often, should get a comedy tag.

For contrast, let's refer to a good example of an overpowered protagonist, which is one punch man. The reason one punch man is compelling despite its overpowered protagonist is two fold. One, the focus isn't always on Saitama. Sure, he invalidates any fights he's in, but he's not present in every fight, and other characters gets to shine. Supporting characters like Genos are quite powerful in their own right and have good reason not to be trying to call Saitama for help every single fight. Two, the conflicts aren't always physical. Saitama is insanely powerful, but he still struggles with making money, gaining fame, or mosquitos. It's possible for characters or situations to be framed as threatening against Saitama even if he can squash them like a bug.

But of course, in a show like this, no writer who writes this premise and title is going to take the focus off the main character or move the situation out of the main character's one realm of overpowered expertise. And that leads to every single aspect of the show suffering for it. While this show's main character is the logical extreme of the typical isekai main character, instant death is but a discount version of other overpowered main characters. If the main character always curbstomps any villains he comes across totally nonchalantly, then the only difference between them and instant death is the theatrics, and the show would suffer from all the same issues. A close example is The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World : the main character there curbstomps every single situation he's in and every villain he encounters with absolutely no real effort whatsoever. The power system means nothing, because he just wrecks it anyway; the supporting cast is completely useless and is made to literally sit on the bench at points; the villains are total jokes, and the only difference between each one is how they get clowned on.

Oh, as for ratings, this show has no redeeming qualities except for as a negative example, so have a 1.
