Kodoani.com – So far in the heavenly battle to decide the next God, it’s not protagonist Mirai Kakehashi who takes the lead but instead the enemy, the armored Metropoliman. Unlike the pacifist and unambitious Mirai, Metropoliman aims to win the battle royale by any means necessary, including using and disposing of innocents as tools.
Metropoliman seems invincible to Mirai and his team, but in reality, small cracks are starting to appear in Metropoliman’s mentality and tactics, and if this trend continues, Mirai’s team could turn the tables and take advantage of some of the weaknesses their enemies have. So far, however, Mirai has failed to do so.
Metropoliman had a clear advantage as he battled other God contenders at Jinbo baseball stadium, and his next plan pits him against Mirai and veteran Nanato Mukaido at the Great Tower, where “Girl A” is waiting. Metropoliman created his latest trap, and at the cost of Girl A’s life, he blew up the Tower, injuring Nanato and distracting Mirai’s team. An almighty battle ensues, where Mirai defends Nanato from Metropoliman’s white arrows before fighting Metropoliman to a stalemate. At that point, Metro escaped, and neither side had much to show for their efforts.
However, for Metro, this battle was not quite the perfect victory he wanted. He has cost him a valuable ally in Girl A, and his reckless tactics and impatience could come at a cost again in the future, preventing him from building a cohesive, effective team fights to achieve victory. Furthermore, while Metro was happy to blow up the Great Tower as his opening move in this battle, he lied about destroying other buildings in the area, hoping that Mirai and Nanato would. whatever he says to prevent more damage of innocent lives. When Metro later admitted to his doctor ally, he had lied about blowing up more buildings, and the tone suggested that under any circumstances, he wouldn’t have gone that far. For the first time, Mirai and Nanato beat Metro in his mind game, even if they couldn’t win the battle of the angelic arrows.
Metropoliman has its limits when it comes to bloody plots and manipulating people, and even if those limits are pretty harsh, it proves that if Mirai and his allies try, they can could gain an advantage over him. Furthermore, Metropoliman has his emotional side, as a scene with his sister shows. Metropoliman truly understands the pain of losing a loved one, and if Nanato knew more about Metro’s sister and the conditions surrounding her death, Mirai’s team could put serious psychological pressure on Metro, perhaps compelling lead what good can be found in him. Even tough anime villains sometimes back down or change their mind when it comes to loved ones.
Metropoliman also seems to care about his friends, such as a classmate from his private school who is naive but sincerely wishes to be the most handsome man in a world full of pretty girls. pretty. Metropoliman even tries to change Girl A’s evil behavior to reflect that goal, which suggests that if Mirai’s group can track and communicate with Metro’s classmates, they can use Use that classmate as leverage. It’s conceivable that Metro might simply kill his classmate to escape that responsibility, but then again, he might not. Nothing is certain yet, but for now, there is a real and clear possibility that Nanato, Mirai, and Saki could take down Metropoliman not in battle, but through his heart.
