Hurry up, my mind is on the moon

do you have a compilation of laios as a leader? i know chilchuck wants him to improve on this specifically but afaik his only few major misses was not realizing someone was trying to seduce him and causing everyone to call shuro the wrong name (recruiting him seems to be a net positive for the party tbh)

Would be hard to remember where those instances are in the manga but I have these from the daydream hour, Laios interactions with his team members and them giving him a score.

He's above average even for Chilchuck who is his biggest critic!

The issue Chilchuck means is that a leader should ideally be able to keep spirits high and resolve conflicts within the party, but Laios didn't even realize that was happening before they came to him and said it.

There's a reason why they keep following him tho, even tho he's not great with people skills he makes up with great skills in exploring the dungeon, he also cares a lot about the well being of his teammates and listens to what they need. I think this good nature compensates for the overall lack of social skills

From the sorbet episode it seems like Falin helped compensate for it too, helping him communicate with the others.

His second attempt at a pep talk before the dragon fight was also awkward

He's doing his best tho! That's also one of the things I love how his character <3

What chapter/ chapters tell Mithrun’s backstory? or if it’s not too many could you post those pages? I read the whole manga but for some reason I have no memory of reading about Mithrun’s backstory and I’ve been confused about how he got to be the way he is. I read the wiki but I want to go back and read the actual part of the manga that will explain this to me. Thank you!

The version Kabru tells is from chapter 62, might be a little confusing cause it's told between other things happening as they await for the canaries to save them. Its not really short enough for me to post the whole thing here plus its a great chapter I recommend rereading. (It's also the kabumisu canon foot fetish chapter)

As the chapter cover implies this chapter is a VERY condensed and cleaned up version Kabru made for us (for Laios actually)

So it's a "unreliable narrator" version of his backstory and things like the woman he wanted might have been overstated in Kabrus version cause as he says her

It's just a good point to make people invested.

That being said we also get some more things about his backstory from extras! (I recommend reading chapter 62 before the extras tho)

First there's Mithrun's own adventurer's bible extra

With this right away we see the story Kabru was telling left out several things that were important, like how Mithrun WASN'T the perfect youth. And how his jealousy for his brother was greater than just wanting to have his girl.

Another one is Milsiril's Extra

Here we have a better perspective of how he was perceived. And how she helped him get back on his feet and join the canaries again after utaya, Kabru's version skips completely over the fact he needed 20 years of rehab to be able to come back lmao. Now for daydream hour extras we have this one that shows just HOW MESSY his recovery actually was.

And that the brother he dismissed was the one to help him. And Milsiril helping with his rehabilitation once she had retired from the canaries.

Here's Mithruns timeline if you want to check when and how far apart things happened!

I don't think I missed anything.. hope this helps!
