There must be something to learn from a being with no shadow, but it could also be equally as deadly. In a world of survival, the greatest answer is to avoid it, even if it may hold untold knowledge and or power. Our instincts are the truest to our own prosperity, after all. Are we not blessed?

@@NaeniaNightingale Fires do actually cast shadows, you just need a more powerful source of light next to them. Fire isn't "light", it's plasma made of the material that you're burning to make the fire, and that will cast a shadow if the light it produces is overshadowed (pun intended) by another, more powerful, light source

I actually thought this was an interesting concept for an isekai. Everyone knows about the main character crossing over, and all the characters adore him due to his immense power (and lack of personality); In this episode, the main characters power ended up scaring someone, and I would have liked to see this concept grow throughout the show, but it’s more likely that it gets resolved off screen and never brought up again.

[@michaelbracho3956]

The people that do figure out he isn’t farma choose to not press him for the truth because they know how powerful he can be. Seeing as how he has 2 full god crests, and has knowledge centuries more advanced in many fields. In the novels, he even helps develop the letter press to assist newspaper writers (yes it does help in medicine as well). The empress makes it clear to not antagonize or impede farma as she understands that even if he isn’t the kid before being struck by lightning, he is the kid the country truly needs.

I love how Japan's cliché of the sedentary, comfortable and relaxing life is being a pharmacist. As a pharmacist, that's not true... But it's cool being represented! There's legit a dozen anime and Light Novels where the MC ends up as an apothecary or the fantasy equivalent of a pharmacist !

[@SwordTune]

I suppose compared to other anime heroes, where daily life can include killing all the goblins, catching all the pocket monsters, or getting stuck in a video game that murders you, being a pharmacist is pretty chill.

[@MistedMind]

Regarding the "shadow issue": Not having a shadow would mean that the body does not block the path of photons, they just pass right through him, or are bending around him. So how come he can still be seen, as no light is refracted from his body and clothes? I can only come up with one plausible explanation: He unconsciously implants this information within the mind of ALL PEOPLE AND BEINGS with line-of-sight to him, even himself! Otherwise he wouldn't even be able to see himself. So he's also a really powerful psychic :D

This was the scene that won me over on this show. I can't name another time I've seen this in a show. Where the person was actually terrified at first.

To be frank this is actually how it would go, magic and fantasy aside most isekai take place in early mideval to late dark age settings.

Entire pantheons, mythos, and monsters were dreamed up by nothing more than ones own imagination terrifying them.

[@onisensei443]

Also alot of people are overthinking the reasons behind his lack of shadow. Japanese light novelists are not very creative and usually have very loose understandings of science and the laws of physics. 100% this is just a visual representation of him being "not of that world" it's just something they use from time to time.

Loving the representation. A bit of a disclaimer though ! His knowledge is over-the-top and all encompassing. In practice, the pharmaceutical field counts dozens of hyperspecialized professions, especially regarding the industrial aspect. Your pharmacist will have the widest general knowledge about everything regarding physiopathology and treatments. Chemistry though, being irrelevant to our daily activity, is quickly forgotten once we're done with our studies. For a researcher, often specializing for years for the sake of his research, the opposite would be true!
