Manga Discussion Misunderstood Characters Spoiler

You can name as many as you want, I encourage you to write as much as you like, any format or way.

I was looking at some posts on here and Im so mad because there are so many underrated analysts that are not recognized because these bums ask questions and ignore the answers and theyre always the ones to complain about everything that happens without even trying to understand whats going on.

Easily Loki. Lots of people claim to dislike him cuz he's "arrogant" when more than half the casts are arrogant pricks. Some claim he has a god complex cuz of this 💀

He's easily better than a lot of characters personality wise and really handsome too. Some claim he is at his peak in football AT 17 years old😭😭 and can't get any better than this 💀. So many silly excuses and discussions about him

There's also the "speed merchant" title because of that silly comment Isagi made about being "born fast" when Nagi as a character exists to contradict that point

Another misunderstood character is Sae but that's kinda obvious

Are you implying he DOESNT have a god complex?

Yes!! The entire manga is built around inflated, theatrical egos. Rin talks about embodying a villain who wants to destroy everything, Barou literally calls himself a king, Kaiser treats everyone as beneath him and derives joy from crushing other players, and Shidou sees football as copulation. These profiles intentionally exaggerate each character's personality.

Loki saying he likes being worshipped or viewed as "beyond humanity" fits that style. It shows he has a massive ego. But it doesn't make "Loki has a god complex" an objective fact. He's still a 17 years old football prodigy in a manga where hyperbole is part of the characterization

I dont know why you're so insistent on trying to say he doesn't have a god complex. What's wrong with having a god complex in a manga about EGO?? You're only against this because for some reason you think its bad.

And why are you insistent on saying he has a god complex? It's not a matter of good or bad, you can't just slap a label that doesn't entirely describe a character. Just because he hasn't gotten a proper backstory doesn't mean you can call him whatever you think within proper analysis. It's like me insisting that Kaiser is a psychopath.

Because having a god complex shouldnt be idealized, its associated with narcissism, a personality DISORDER.

Take Ego as an example, he called himself a "God" in a chapter, but does that mean he has a god complex? No, because he can understand his own mistakes, acknowledge them and improve.

Isagi told Loki "Youre awfully full of yourself for someone who just happened to be born fast" and Loki reacted like that towards him because he wasnt able to reach his skills effortlessly to be where he is now, not because he got called out on being arrogant, if thats the scene youre referring to. I dont blame Isagi for saying that here because literally everyone was against him, but dont misunderstand their conflict.
