Thooughts on Redo of Healer/A Whump Rewrite

CW: mentions of abuse, physical torture, noncon, misogyny, homophobia and slavery below

Incoming long post. It does have a point.

So, awhile back before I made this account I decided to do an endurance watch of a somewhat infamous anime entitled Redo of Healer. For those of you blessed with ignorance, Redo is a dark fantasy harem romance/rape revenge story based on the light novel of the same name by Rui Tsukiyo.

Set in the Kingdom of Jioral, a kingdom currently at war with the Demon population and built on the slave trade of the demi human population, the story follows Keyaru, a Healing class hero, who after 4 years of being enslaved for his uniquely miraculous abilities, (and enduring a fuck ton of emotional, physical and sexual abuse along the way) embarks on a brutal quest for revenge against his sadistic former party members/tormentors, (Bullet the Cannon Hero, Blade the Sword Hero, and most prevalently, Princess Flare, the Magician Hero who orchestrated his drugging and imprisonment.)

He gets Flare first, escaping prison, cornering her in her own soundproof bedroom, and proceeding to torture her physically and eventually violently raping her. So, now that he's gotten his revenge, does he just kill her? Call it a day and leave her a broken, ruined mess like she did to him? I mean. What more could he possibly do to bring her lower?

He changes both their faces, fakes both their deaths, erases her memories, and when she comes too, he tells his named is Keyaruga (groan) her she's his loyal attendant and lover, dubs her Freiya, and immediately coerces her into having sex with him. They then embark on a journey to destroy the Kingdom she doesn't know is hers.

Along the way, he slowly begins recruiting more girls into this party/builds a harem, often by coercive or outright nonconsensual mean like drugging/brainwashing and having a lot of sex with

Setsuna- A slave demi human wolf girl named that he purchases as a battle slave/it's okay she wants to be a slave because he's just so great

Kureha- A knight of the Kingdom who Keyaruga who he drugs and raped after she attacks him

Eve-a extremely powerful demon girl. The only one he doesn't coerce into fucking him

(note: below is all my subjective opinion.)

I wanna stress that while it is a very Whump heavy story, Redo is extremely Not Good and I cannot recommend it. And I'm not just saying that because it's a rape porn with high production values (though it has a pretty intolerable amount of extremely brutal rape for anyone who either doesn't have a hardcore CNC kink or who's brain isn't broken from reading violent fanfiction at age 13 like yours truly),it is genuinely one of the worst written pieces of fiction I've ever read. The pacing is terrible, the magic system is generic , the dialogue is atrocious, try character designs are so mediocre ( wow another hot girl with gigantic tits? How did you come up with that idea?!), the villains are all vile depraved power tripping rapist idiots who immediately get their comeuppance by the equally vile protagonist, who is always one step ahead is also so insufferably smug. Its also extremely edgy and lazy in regards to how it treats shit like slavery (pure shock value pretty much,). Because plot and theme is not the point though, the torture porn is.

Redo of Healer is also, and I cannot stress this enough, extremely extremely homophobic ( if you disagree that's fine you're allowed to be wrong <3) I won't go into it too much bc this post is already long but Blades character can be be described as every horrible stereotypes about lesbians stacked on top of each other in a trench coat. The author is so transparently trying to offend me by writing her this way that she actually has the opposite effect and gives me the giggles. Which now that I type that out is kind how I feel about the whole story. it's a pretty terribly male power fantasy about a terrible violent man who sexually tortures slightly more terrible violent men and women. And quite frankly, when I watching it , all I could think was "I could write this so much better."

Because see, even though everything I said before about redo is true, i also find it incredibly interesting:

There are a lot of Whump tropes in redo. Slavery, dehumanization, beatings, bastards Whumpees getting revenge on lady Whumpers, conditioning I think? intimate and sadistic whumpers, mind control whump, non consensual drugging, human pets. Theres prob more I forgot. They aren't handled well but they are there.

I love the rape revenge genre. I have vivid memories of getting together with my teen girls friends and watching Jennifer Hills and Hailey Stark tear apart some bastards. Based shit.

Redo is the first male victim on female perpetrator rape revenge media I've come across. it is also, the first I've seen where a victim makes their rapist into a willing sex slave as part of their revenge.

There are story elements and themes that do hold potential, specifically around power and the places lines between victim and abuser get blurry. Eg: Keyarga assumes locking away Flare's memories has made her into a new person, because Freiya is so sweet, and Flare is an abusive bitch. He eventually has to come to terms with the fact that he didn't erase Flare. They are they same person. Freiya is sweet because she has none of Flares life experience, and is with someone who shows her love and appreciation. More if this instead of a smug asshole fucking hot women because he can

When I found myself disgusted I briefly entertained the thought that I might be sexist. analyzing that thought for more then a minute I realized that ridiculous. I don't hate it for being a male rape revenge, I hate it because it's a male power fantasy. And I hate it because of Keyarga. Because he is a man who is constantly drugging and brainwashing recruiting women who cross him into his slave battle harem, all of whom he rapes has sex with aside from Eve, and even if he's not framed as a good person, he's framed as a badass. People who feel entitled to hurt others because they were hurt are not badass. They are pathetic. And more importantly, they are broken. Any story about people like him worth it's salt with acknowledge that.

TLDR I am re writing Redo Of Healer as a Serious Story about a Bastard Whumpee Who Brainwashes and Enslaves his Whumper, and Falls in love with her in the process.

It's still in its early stages. I have some picrews, some plot outlining and the basic jist of how I want to change about the characters and what I want to keep, and my partner, who's more familiar with fantasy RPG stuff, is helping me develop the magic system into something more interesting. But I do want to thank this community because I've been stewing on this horrifying story about torture and the nature of power for so long wondering who would want to read it and now that I've learned of Whump I know there is actually a chance that there is an audience.

Anyway, I've been typing way too long. I will post more about this at another time.

Also a reminder, I am new to writblr and to tumblr in general. Im still finding my footing in terms of some of the functions of the site and the etiquette/social norms/terminology, or like, the ways people follow each other's writing? Idk where I'm going with this just please keep that in mind

20 anime like redo of healer

Redo of Healer is one of those awesome revenge stories that handles a lot of adult themes, sexual abuse, controversial scenes, and disturbingly perverse female characters, but we know you watch it for the action scenes, character development, and overall awesome plot.

Keyaru's talents as a hero who could cure any injury, no matter how severe, seemed to point to a bright future. Instead, he was tortured and abused for years, seemingly endlessly. Keyaru's healing talents allowed him to steal the memories and abilities of people he healed, progressively strengthening him. But by the time he realized his full ability, he had lost everything.

Keyaru had been determined to put his life back on track and finally exact revenge against those who had wronged him. With a powerful healing spell, he rewound time so that everything would be different – but not just for himself; rather, this new purpose is one where others can experience what it feels like if they were also suffering from an unwanted fate or obligation!

Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei Suru: anime in arrivo per la light novel

Dopo Redo of Healer un’altra opera di Rui Tsukiyo sbarcherà in tv da questa estate.

Kadokawa ha annunciato la produzione di una serie animata, basata sulla light novel “The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in a Different World as an Aristocrat” (Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei Suru), una delle numerose opere di Rui Tsukiyo, autore anche di “Redo of Healer”.

L’anime andrà in onda a partire da luglio in Giappone e vede confermato il cast del Drama CD uscito lo scorso aprile.

Lugh: Kenji Akabane (Shinichi sakurai in Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!)

Dia: Reina Ueda (Shuka Karino in Darwin's Game)

Tart: Yuuki Takada (Elma in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid)

Maha: Shino Shimoji (Mikochi in Hakumei to Mikochi)

Per quanto riguarda lo staff, l’adattamento è diretto da Masafumi Tamura (Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha, Kenja no Mago) e in lavorazione presso SILVER LINK (My Next Life as a Villainess, BOFURI)  e Studio Palette. La sceneggiatura è curata da Katsuhiko Takayama (Big Order, ef - a tale of memories), mentre il character design è affidato a Eri Nagata (Ensemble Stars!, Blade & Soul).

Il più grande killer della Terra sapeva vivere solo come strumento dei propri datori di lavoro, finché non hanno deciso di uccidere anche lui. Rinato per grazia di una dea in un mondo di spade e stregoneria, gli viene offerta la possibilità di fare le cose diversamente questa volta, ma c'è una condizione: dovrà eliminare un potentissimo eroe, prima che questo causi la fine del mondo.

Ora conosciuto come Lugh Tuatha Dé, il maestro assassino ha certamente il suo bel da fare, soprattutto a causa di tutte le belle ragazze che lo circondano costantemente. Lugh sarà anche stato un sicario dalle doti impareggiabili, ma come se la caverà contro nemici dotati di poteri magici?

La light novel è stata lanciata online nel luglio del 2018 e dal febbraio dell’anno seguente viene pubblicata anche in formato cartaceo, corredata delle illustrazioni ad opera di Reia. Il 6° volume sarà in vendita in Giappone a partire dal 27 febbraio.

Dal gennaio del 2019 ne viene serializzata anche una versione manga, disegnata da Hamao Sumeragi, giunta al secondo volumetto per ora.

Crunchyroll Expo 2021 - Behind-the-Scenes Story of "The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat" (ft. Masafumi Tamura, Katsuhiko Takayama, Satoshi Motonaga) - Notes

About the Event

This panel at Crunchyroll Expo 2021 features exclusive behind-the-scene info from the staff of "The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat," Masafumi Tamura, Katsuhiko Takayama, and Satoshi Motonaga. This is NOT a perfect transcription of the panel. It is a close transcription, with some cuts in the dialogue. Still, I have tried my best to remain accurate to what what said in this panel.  

About the Anime / Introduction to Panel

Releasing from Crunchyroll in October 2021 comes a new isekai series filled with assassinations, adventure, and magic. This Fall release is based on “The World’s Finest Assassin,” a popular light novel series by Tsukiyo Rui who also authored “Redo of a Healer” (a very different series in terms of tone and direction). The original light novel has sold over 400,000 copies and has a manga adaptation from Yen Press.

The story follows Kenji Akabane. the world’s number one assassin, as he is reincarnated as the eldest son of a family of aristocrat assassins, Tuatha Dé, Lugh. The goddess that grants him this new life with his memories and gives him one mission to complete in this other world: Kill the hero who is prophesied to destroy the world. He must use his vast knowledge and experience gained that made all manner of assassinations possible in the modern world along with the secret techniques and magic of his new fantasy world along with the insight from his powerful family of assassins to complete his task.

While the story and character take center stage to audiences, one cannot overlook the important roles and contributions behind-the-scenes that make the anime possible. At the 2021 Crunchyroll Expo, staff from the anime sat down for a behind-the-scenes discussion of this upcoming series. The panel included Satoshi Motonaga, the producer of “The World’s Finest Assassin;” Masafumi Tamura, the director who previously directed “The Misfit of Demon King Academy” and “Wise Man’s Grandchild;” and Katsuhiko Takayama, the series composer and screenwriter who previously composed for “Ga-Rei: Zero” and “Aldnoah. Zero.”

Motonaga: Could you tell us what you thought when you first learned about this series?

Tamura: In other isekai series, usually someone with a totally different profession becomes the hero or protagonist, but in this case, he keeps the same profession. The goddess was looking for a professional—the best assassin in the world. I think that kind of protagonist makes the series more accessible. There’s no complexity related to his reincarnation. For me, the question was, how do we make the series awesome given that?

Takayama: This is actually my first time working on this kind of reincarnation story. When I read the series, despite the genre being new to me, it felt nostalgic. Ordinary Earthlings or humans visiting another place and becoming superhuman is a nostalgic genre for me. Like “The Skylark of Space,” a human visits another planet and puts salt on his food because it’s seasoned differently from what he’s used to. The aliens respond by asking, “What is this stuff?” The planet doesn’t have salt, so it’s an incredibly valuable material there. A war is started over salt. The enemy wonders if they can harvest salt from the protagonist, and try to kill him. The idea of common knowledge and materials we have here, becoming incredibly valuable in another world has been around for a long time. We’re revisiting that idea in the present, which feels nostalgic.

Motonaga: So while the perspective is new, the currently-popular format of going to another world has existed previously.

Takayama: [nodding] The format itself and people’s interest in it has been around for a long time.

Motonaga: It’s not just the younger generation that’s enjoying it. There’s a generation that’s already experienced it who might be enjoying works in this genre.

Takayama: That’s right. The current popularity of a genre focused on that specific element felt nostalgic.

Motonaga: It certainly is. I see.

Motonaga: Tamura, you mentioned earlier that the protagonist keeps the same profession. In other series like this one, there are surprisingly few in which the protagonist is reincarnated with the same profession.

Tamura: Being able to use his previous knowledge as an assassin again makes a lot of sense. The goddess chose to reincarnate him because he has that knowledge, and can use his skills as the world’s greatest assassin to kill the Hero and complete the mission she gave him. I think it naturally leads into the start of the story.

[Note: At this point in the interview, the panelists showed the official trailer for this upcoming series. We’ve linked the trailer above.]

Tamura: The women on the cover illustrations for “The World’s Finest Assassin” were drawn by character designer Reia. When adapting their design for animation, I insisted that they be the same women. While designing the female characters, we received a lot of help. We asked character designer Osada Eri for her assistance, and ended up with the cure, cool characters you saw in the video. The design for the pre-reincarnation Lugh came from Reia. I’m very glad we were able to apply designs for the characters that looked the way they should.

Regarding the gun models in the anime:

(TAV photos/Peggy Sue Wood, Screenshot 1 from “Behind-the-Scenes Story of ‘The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat’")

Tamura: This is the model of sniper rifle used by the assassin. We wanted to express the fact that he performed a cool job in the real world. We asked Tsukiyo what kind of gun he used. Since he’s the world’s best assassin, he’d use the world’s best tools, so we went with the CheyTac M200. When we said we’d like to see how it looks when a human holds it, for animation reference, Takayama provided this for us.

Takayama: It’s a Japanese model gun, so there’s nothing dangerous about it. Tsukiyo offered a few suggestions when we asked about the gun. Instead of lead bullets, it uses specialized brass cartridges that look like they were produced on a lathe. It’s an extremely accurate and incredibly expensive rifle. We wanted to make it obvious that his employer was a large and wealthy organization, so this is the model we decided on.

Tamura: We had a 3D [digital] model made for the gun. At first we wondered if we should animate it by hand, but the 3D director, Eda, is very familiar with firearms. When we told him about it, he said, “Yeah, sure. I’ll make you a model,” so we took him up on it. We combined that with the characters in the current animation style, which combines 2D and 3D. When the character cocks a gun, it’s a combination of 2D and 3D. The shot of the spent shells being ejected is 3D only. When a character aims and fires a gun, we used a hybrid style that includes 2D animation. I hope we made the gun look cool.

Motonaga: I’d like to touch on the series’ charming characters, so let’s talk about them. First, there’s the protagonist, Lugh. What do the two of you think of Lugh?

Tamura: [Lugh] was very difficult to animate. He doesn’t really act like a child, but sometimes he does. He’s a complicated character to direct and animate. I struggled with how to get the audience to relate to him while working on the series… [During the animation process, the team focused on his looks.] One of the highlights is seeing how he changes throughout the anime.

Takayama: Rather than focusing on his looks, I write about what’s on the inside, like the principles of his action. In doing that, he reminded me of Ogami Itto from the old series “Lone Wolf and Cub.” […] He seems to perform his duty without considering the feelings of others, but the answers he produces are actually overflowing with humanity.

Tamura: It’s one of the things that make us like him.

Takayama: But the character himself isn’t interested in being liked, and doesn’t believe he’s doing anything good. He doesn’t see himself as performing righteous acts, and isn’t motivated by a desire to do good. He’s just doing what he thinks is right according to his own logic, but from the outside, we can see that what he’s doing is righteous.

[Note: The panelists talk about three female leads. I excluded this discussion because it was really more of a dive into their design and flat-characteristics than about the writing or development of the characters in the story.]

Motonaga: Is there anything in particular you paid special attention to, or wrestled or struggled with as part of the series composition? 

Takayama: The original work is a web novel, which means it mainly features a ton of short stories. This type of series with multiple short stories is very difficult to compose. I’ve done something similar before. There was a series composed of several short stories told in a row. It was another series about assassins starring the voice actor Akabane, and the original work was structured the same way. The series composition was incredibly difficult. If the individual stories were even shorter, I would have more options. A little longer stories would have been easier too. This series was filled with short stories that are exactly the most difficult length to work with. The series composition required some special techniques. 

I can’t tell you exactly what techniques I used, since that would be a spoiler, but they weren’t all the same. Depending on the content, I had to change which technique I used. It was a very difficult series to adapt into a script for an anime. 

Motonaga: Tamura, what did you think of what Takayama just told us?

Tamura: When I get the scripts, I apply the characters’ expressions to them, and their performances or acting--a word I don't particularly like [for what I do]... I want the characters to feel alive within the story. I want the dialogue to feel conversational. Having the actors record the lines will add to that. 

Motonaga: In discussions with the author, Tsukiyo, is there anything that stands out to you now that you’ve come this far with the recording?

Tamura: Since he’s the original author, we asked if there was a difference in energy between the lines we recorded and the original work. He was very accepting about it. He said he’d leave it up to the anime professionals, and we’ve leaned heavily on that. I’m very grateful for his consideration. He trusts us and we don’t want to let him down. We rely on hims for some things, like if we don’t know how a line should be spoken. We ask him questions like that during today’s recording. When we ask him how a certain moment is supposed to feel, he gives us advice on finding the right energy for the actors and performance. When I read “The World’s Finest Assassin,” I felt it was different from Tsukiyo’s other works, but I could still sense him in it. 

Motonaga: Takayama, how was your experience working with Tsukiyo?

Takayama: You can tell when you speak with him, but he’s very smart. Maybe that’s a rude thing to say but Tsukiyo is very intelligent. He has a lot of ideas, and sometimes I wonder if my plans have diverged too much from the original work. But when I ask him about it, he answers my questions fully understanding what my plan is. He’s not just looking at it superficially. He sees the plans laid out in the script, which would normally be difficult to understand, but he responds relatively quickly. He struck me as a very intelligent person.

Writing an anime and writing a novel are two very different activities. Unless the series happens to be of a particular style, it’s practically impossible for them to match up exactly. This is true of writers for comics, novels, and games as well, but there aren’t many writers who understand writing for a field other than their own. In most cases, it takes a long time to explain things. But when I explain to him how writing a script for an anime works and what I want to do, he picks up on it very quickly. He considers the benefits and drawbacks to doing something in a certain way when answering my questions. It made me think he’s a very flexible person. 

Tamura: It was important to establish the world in our meetings with Tsukiyo before we began animating. When he told us about his story’s setting, he also described the kind of music he imagined would go with it, and we were able to select the appropriate instruments. I feel like Tsukiyo was integral to the production.

[Tamura then shows us one scene’s storyboard from the anime and explains a little about what it is and how it fits into the process of creating an anime. Rather than type this out, I invite you to check out our post on Aniplex’s panel “How to Produce an Anime” from Aniplex Online Fest 2020 here: https://theanimeview.com/post/639260776495038464/aniplex-online-fest-how-to-produce-an-anime]

Above is one screen shot from his presentation of the drawn out 3 second scene when Tarte reveals her staff/spear in the PV prior to coloring. It took 46 pages of key frames for that 3 second scene.]

Tamura: It takes the sweat, tears, and sleep deprivation of all these people (production staff, animators, etc.) to make these. Each 30-minute episode is made by repeating this process over and over. 

Motonaga: What are those other papers you’ve got over there?

Tamura: When we discuss the storyboards, we draw rough sketches of what we think the animation will look like. 

(TAV photos/Peggy Sue Wood, Screenshot 4 from “Behind-the-Scenes Story of ‘The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat’")

Tamura: I meet with the animation director and chief animation director, who are both responsible for checking the drawings, and we lay the corrected drawings over each other, and finally--it’s traced with see-through paper, and the combined finished product is that stack of papers we saw earlier. 

(TAV photos/Peggy Sue Wood, Screenshot 5 from “Behind-the-Scenes Story of ‘The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat’")

Tamura: The pink and yellow lines are my corrections. We go through four total rounds of corrections before it’s animated. 

(TAV photos/Peggy Sue Wood, Screenshot 6 from “Behind-the-Scenes Story of ‘The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat’")

Tamura: Japanese animation is an art. Your favorite series are probably made the same way. Additionally, there are time codes put into the same folders as these frames. Time codes truly are the blueprint of the episode as they show which image goes where in the run-time.  

(TAV photos/Peggy Sue Wood, Screenshot 7 + 8 from “Behind-the-Scenes Story of ‘The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat’")

Motonaga: On the official Twitter for this series, after each episode they will be releasing parts of the storyboard for those interested.

Season 1 of "The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat" will be available on Crunchyroll in Fall 2021.

The Talent-Ass Scale

This came up to me in a sort of ludicrous thought, but...hear me out on this:

The "Barney's Hot-Crazy Scale" but for mangaka/anime writers.

This translates to: "An artist can insert lecherous in their story, as long as they're talented enough to compensate".

The graph presents itself pretty much like the Barney's Hot-Crazy Scale from the episode "How I Met Everyone Else" of How I Met Your Mother, but it changes a few things:

The X axis is the "Ass" scale, indicating how much lecherous content an artist puts in his works. The Y axis is the "Talent" scale, indicating how talented the artist is.

The diagonal is called the "NisiOisiN Diagonal", the author of the Monogatari series and writer of Medaka Box. The namesake played jump rope on that line: First he makes an harem with various tropes of girls, then he cleverly breaks the fourth wall, he does the toothbrush scene, then he makes a compelling story with great characters.

The Danger Zone is called the "Hiro Mashima Zone", where an artist stops being talented and gradually adds more lecherous content: The namesake is the patron saint of the trope "Power of Love and Friendship" and the artists who uses the trope "Ms. Fanservice" like a NASCAR tire.

Pay attention: This doesn't mean that an artist SHOULD put lecherous content in their story, it's just to demonstrate how much leeway an artist can have when inserting fanservice.

Examples:

Kentaro Miura and his Berserk can get away with adding some lecherous content since his story is so compelling and he's so good at drawing. He's above the diagonal.

Hiromu Arakawa and her Fullmetal Alchemist leans a bit with Lust and that Winry scene, but doesn't steer away from that since the story is really compelling and she inserted basically no fanservice. She's not just above the diagonal, she's incredibly close to the Y axis.

Atsushi Ohkubo and his Soul Eater and Fire Force is an oddity: He has skills, but he constantly steers to the "Hiro Mashima zone" with his works, stops right before entering like when you do a wrong U-turn and you slam the brakes at centimeters before hitting a parked car, then just makes a great story. Rinse and repeat. Thank God the anime adaptations trimmed down so much of said content. He's below the diagonal.

Rui Tsukiyo and their Redo of Healer are so damn deep into the "Hiro Mashima zone" that they took a mortgage, got a house, bought a car, had a housewarming BBQ with the neighborhood and got a full time job. They're so deep that the value of the "Talent" axis is irrelevant. WAY BELOW THE DIAGONAL.

Take this with a pinch of salt, after all it's based on my opinion and it might vary from person to person, but this could help you getting the picture when talking about anime/manga.
