The Exiled Reincarnated Heavy Knight Is Unrivaled In Game Knowledge - Chapter 150

Damn, rare time where isekai doesnt force friendships with the people attempting to kill you

I think the translator translated “You let your guard down” line incorrectly. The correct translation is “It’s not over yet.” And it is someone else taking over Darren’s body and that is why the artist depicts the eyes going completely dark.

This empty eye socket trope is very common in manga. A good example is in Hunter x Hunter with Killua’s youngest brother Namika (yes, he is dressed up as a girl because of the twisted mother who wanted a girl since she had no girls that came from her.), which translates to the “teared one” because his back story is a tragic one being the most powerful being which means also the loneliest. This is again the duality of nature. The most powerful is necessarily a singular existence, and thus the most lonely, just like the Legend of Gilgamesh, the King of King who killed everyone until there are no more to kill.

Notice the final scene of Darren smiling? This is because he has repaid his debt. The debt to Kelt’s father for accepting his parting gift. You see, Kelt’s dad gave his belonging to Darren because he knew Darren is a good person. There is a common saying that “Misery loves company.” This is often used incorrectly to say people like to make other miserable because they themselves are miserable. This is only true applied to the powerful. For the weak and powerless and Darren and Kelt’s dad, the meaning of this phrase is the opposite. Weak and powerless tend to stand together.

This is very true if you have ever experience poverty of cosplay homeless like I have in my youth because I don’t like to waste money on housing, so I ended up living in some of the worst place in the city of Philadelphia. Because I looked like a homeless, smelled like a homeless, depressed like a homeless, people generally leave me alone and when I am in trouble, some will even offer me help. That’s what Malcolm X meant by “Solidarity.”

I see people writing Darren off as some bad guy. No, he is not a bad guy. He is a paid mercenary. Ask yourself this, suppose killing really is a sin according to most Holy texts around the world, so someone who wants to kill another for say political reason but is prevented from doing so because he/she wants to get to heaven. Is hiring an assassin the way to go? Can one be resolved on sin by doing so? How about the assassin? Darren was trapped in a Catch 22 with no way out other than just sealing one’s heart and give a middle finger to the world. Haven’t any of you ever feel that way too? Or are you all like super rich zepo babies?
