Exposed Belly Button - Reincarnated as a Sword (Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita) Episode 12

[@fmitchell238a]

I like their solution to the "women's fantasy armor" problem: magical force field.

[@merimkastrat5846]

Wish it explained more perfectly well rather than leaving it as a mystery lol. They were awesome to explain it here.

[@alex_marr]

a classic one, to be honest

[@RavenCloak13]

That's normal. Armor ain't doing shit being hit by a 10 ton freight train barreling towards you which would basically be the equivalent of shit you fight in MMO's. Giant monster should realistically just open it's mouth and swallow you and then your armors doing fuck all.

[@DolusVulpes]

​@RavenCloak13 your armor is still doing something even then. After all, it's providing an excellent source of iron for whatever ate you.

NO GOOD , that armor need calibrations , I cant belive that dwarf is called Garrus and has not done any calibrations

[@PRchris13]

Technically speaking if your agile species Wearing heavy armor is kinda useless For female just wear something that compresses the chest and thighs short pants … yes is sexy but the less armor you have to make you be heavy the better Dunno why they gave her a shield if her thing is “agility” They should have added a function that allows the user to dodge the attack .. since dodge is more common with agility If they wanted to still add a shield, make it so the sword can get warned by the armor defense that a attack will reach the stomach and that way either the sword can move her away or block it But having a shield kinda is off the whole “black cat tribe being agile”

[@Vernas_R]

I think the shield is more for situations where no matter how agile you are, you can't dodge (see: magic missile from D&D/Pathfinder).

[@blademaster2390]

Not to mention the shield isnt a physical slab of metal, but is a magical barrier. It doesn’t restrict movement, because its not there unless it needs to be, and _it weighs nothing_

If enchanted armor was that strong, people in that world should have adapted to using it as elite armor universally, and their standards would be different, and conventionally strong armor would have a stigma against it. (Sigh) So many writers forget that for a world to be believable, the character’s expectations and behavior as a whole need to reflect how technology would have evolved there, not simply be an edit of our own world..

[@TytonidaeIndustries]

do note, that armor is only usable to this capacity by ONE race, and a race that is commonly stigmatized for being weak to begin with, AND was made by arguably the BEST smith and craftsman in the world

[@FurryEskimo]

@@TytonidaeIndustries And that all sounds like Bs if the world was real. If a race has unique, super awesome armor skills people would know that and likely hire them to be guards. As for him being the best, well, anyone can be a great smithy, and a kingdom can supply and train just about as many as they need. In reality he might be turned into a supervisor, so there would be a ton of people with top quality products, not just the individuals he likes.
