so I'm finally caymtching uo to mairuma. I have opinions on the levialon arc.
I may gr in trouble for saying this, BUT I LIKE THAT IRUMA ISN'T EVEN MENTIONED IN THIS ARC. I just think it goes to show how good mairuma is at developing side characters to the point that the main character can be removed drom the equation, and it's still a good story.
I love the introduction of Urara as a character. I know we've seen him a couple times before, and that's he's a raritynin his family cuz he's just so uptight and by the rules. And I really really live when he used his bloodline ability right here. Plus with Balam in this arc gettin closer to one of the Valacs after the whole thing with Clara's evil cycle, it's just narrative genius.
Leiji was just aura farming here, let's be honest. But I think this arc is necessary to flesh out Leiji as a character and not just Azz-kun 2.0 ™. He's smart but also stupid. He's stupid with strategy, but a great sharpshooter. I love his gun and his little veil thing, which i am wondering if it's just his hair and he's balding like an old english monk. He's kinda like Ronove, in a way. I have a whole lot to say about them never showing us certain characters again but that's for another day.
so this arc is ofc acting as a setup for the six fingers to pull their shit again. I really wanna see more of Mikii even though I imagine her as sounding like a cartoon rat. And though I understand that Uetoto can wipe memories and Levialon is implied to have less security that Babyllis. Leiji LITERALLY SAW THROUGH THEIR LIES INSTINCTIVELY YET HELD BACK. WAHT??? now I can't wait for the rest of this whole thing to play out.
