The eventual journey to loving Olruggio's character in the manga is the funniest thing ever.
Because it is whiplash after whiplash after whiplash and all of a sudden, I now love this man.
We are simply seeing Olruggio, like...exist. Watchful eye duty so forgotten that Qifrey might as well have 3 blind eyes.
And ohh- some hints of potential shipping content with Qifrey and him being a tsundere for the girls. He's just...there. But he's funny and unfortunately too relatable so I'll allow it.
Okay. Olruggio jumpscare I guess, because he suddenly just got more screen time.
We're now seeing why they call him Master Olly, because they're now showing more of him bonding, caring, and teaching the girls in his own way. And it's adorable.
He's giving begrudging son-in-law vibes with Beldaruit, He's now being emphasized as someone truly significant to Qifrey's past and-
Ohh, he now just remembered that he's not that watchless of an eye and is now actively suspecting his best friend of many years that he's a potential danger to Coco (which he's not wrong) and fears that he's selfishly utilizing her in his pursuit of the brimmed caps (which he is ALSO not wrong) and-
Olruggio, I know you just cleared up that suspicion in like, Chapters 37-38, but why tf are you still friends with this shady ass man-
Ohh. This scrungly, grumpy sleep-deprived mess of a man is a beloved CELEBRITY. OHH, this man is canonically every mother's dream SON-IN-LAW.
OHHH..This grumpy man is somehow the SUNSHINE of the two.
You now see how Olly and Qifrey genuinely compliment and cover each other's weakness as teachers/caregivers to the girls. He's seen scolding, reprimanding, encouraging, and bantering with each of the girls and it's a lovely time.
Oooh, he now has hints to his traumatic backstory. Burnt out gifted kids as burnt as a star-
Ohh...he parallels Coco a lot in terms of personality and savior complex...
Oh Olruggio, the man that you are. You are a good characte-
Genuinely, Olruggio what the fuck.
That is the reason why he hasn't turned into an angiosperm yet?
Kindest, most radiant star what the fuck.
Pardon? He keeps discovering and forgiving this secret?
In conclusion: Olruggio is one of the sweetest but also most insane characters in the story. If possible, more so than Qifrey-
But I get it now. Loving Olruggio's character is inevitable. He is the man, the mood, the moment.
I hope to see more of Olruggio's story outside of Qifrey's backstory. Before he came to the Great Hall. Though we have hints, I know I'll be devastated when it's shown.
