Summary
A brief description of the manga The Greatest Philosopher With Zero Magic Power.:
On his deathbed, the Great Philosopher expressed remorse, as he was never able to learn magic.
Five hundred years later, he was reborn as Mazel Loran, the son of a feudal lord. His family believe him to be a late bloomer in terms of his magic, but also think he’s the next incarnation of the Great Philosopher. But Mazel has a secret that nobody else knows: while he does not have any magic, he has experience with “physics”!
His powers are not that bad…but they do hurt brains some, its more like physics magnification and manipulation, you could theorize it this way, his body produces an energy field, from that field he can manipulate and magnify physics to create certain effects.
His air blade is created from the motion of his hand/arm, for a magic user, you gather up mana as you chant the spell, the spell takes mana energy and converts it to the air blade.
His poison magic , such as it is, pushes compounds to certain locations of his body so he can gather and control the sweat, the rest is like air cutter.
Now DIABLE JAMBE , I mean the fire leg thing is interesting, either he takes the dust on the ground or creates more force with his leg which becomes an inferno rather than an air cutter.
In someways its like the difference in skills and magic, where one takes physical energy and the other takes mental energy, to make his power hurt your brain less, think of him being a alchemy/science nerd who uses QI/Chi or warrior skill abilities.
the whole basis and background of this manga is wrong. he makes “magic” using movements from his body. However, if he reincarnated, wouldn’t his op body have to be reincarnated too? first point
second point. this is not physics. its just magic in a different sense (like yknow those manhuas or smth where theres both mana and qi?). take for instance chapter 3 i believe. COMBUSTION NEEDS FUEL. shaking ur leg and letting the friction interact with oxygen DOES NOT CREATE FIRE
third point, body movements he makes are impossible for humans
gad did this author even go to high school?
Incest?
Greatest philosopher my western booty cheek dude was told to run and he doesn’t even move nor does he move his sister, he figured out that his father doesn’t want her to see those types of things but dude just keeps her in the area of attack of the armored beetle and then the sister on the other half why the hell didn’t she run not like she can do something atleast MC could’ve possibly stood a chance but she would get clapped and thrown into the goblins den if ykw I’m saying like damn and then the MC gets mad at the beetle for trying to attack them and making her cry he didn’t even do anything to watch the cause his father told them to run then MC figures out that the dad doesn’t want the girl seeing those types of disgusting beasts so he should’ve covered her eyes and ran or sent her away and then help the father instead of just standing there and doing nothing, this MC reminds me of the cannon fodder for MCs
This title smells to ” Hey guys this is my Isekai story and I totally promise you my MC it’s not an OP Self insert with godly powers …. haha psyche he is totally OP you thought fool ! ”
How close was I to the truth ?
you are bound to lose braincells
there is some things that contradict with science
like having antibodies from previous life body in reincarnated body
The title is misleading as the story will likely have nothing to do with philosophy – so don’t read it if that’s what you’re looking for.
哲学者- Philosopher (what’s written in the English title)
大賢者 – Great Sage (what’s written in the Japanese title)
大 – Big
賢 – Intelligent
者 – Person
哲人 could be construed as either sage or philosopher, but that’s not what’s written in the tittle (I referred to jisho (the webpage) for translations).
