#him and kabru but shuro gets it way worse. i love their intros

[guideaus]

the new dungeon meshi fans' response to shuro was disappointing just because he had the unique introduction of showing an attitude that is apparently completely unlike how he normally is. laios' judgement conflicting with everyone else's perspective of shuro also sheds light on laios' flaws, and with his and kabru's people entering the story together, it shows how different laios' party is. the anime onlys still sticking to that one view of shuro (when it should be obvious there's something wrong abt him atm) really sucks.

the story really emphasizes he's currently starving, lost, dispirited, upset about failing the only thing he ever asked for, and he's not usually someone getting into fights. maizuru sees him trying to choke laios out and freaks out thinking laios did something crazy first to cause this, chilchuck knows he's reasonable, and maizuru's comment more shows she raised him to be so repressed he ended up snapping. even if this is the first time we see him, it's not his normal behavior.

his normal attitude never even comes close to how he was introduced, despite everything getting progressively worse. not to mention the fact that he apologized for basically everything bad he did, and anything else someone could get mad about, he doesn't actually do. it's also worth pointing out no other character conflicts with him besides laios, so it's not shuro who is causing problems. shuro has a very unique intro, and it sucks the fandom saw that as a reason to demonize him. esp when all his actions were understandable and he apologizes for it all
