There isn't any good reason. Nakaba thought that tying the four leads to the Horsemen of the Apocalypse would be cool, but he didn't want to be tied down when developing their magics and personalities.
I don't know that I find this comment to be particularly insightful.
Yes, Lancelot made a stupid decision; the plain text of the story is not what is in dispute.
My issue is that the scenario was poorly written.
It seems like you're saying that the writing cannot be bad if the writer is...
Needlessly carrying water for weak writing.
The last time Cath spoke to Lance it was to say that Lance was too strong to handle as he faded away carrying a fat L.
Lancelot used zero sign to break into Caths house and stand in his room with Cath completely unable to detect him.
Nothing...
Nah, you don't understand - Gawain was too distracted by Lance's distress to use her powers. You just don't understand the emotional strain of the characters in this situation (even though we've seen them previously in such dangerous situations but shhhhhhh 🤫 don't think about that).
Yes...yes we do expect Lance to keep his cool.
Lance is Mister Cool.
"Its all chill bro, no worries" is the English translation of Lance's middle name from the original Fairy language.
He's even chill at having the other Prophecy knights murder his chaos self empowered self.
Don't worry...
No I understand what you're saying. You're just describing bad writing is all.
He's too unstable to just grab Guinevere because that requires too much mental fortitude.....but he's stable and smart enough to bluff Cath.
Two very different reads on the manga show Nakaba did a very poor job...
You say this but then @Desseker tells me Lance is too mentally weak to come up with a plan as simple as "run and grab Guinevere"
Its just a poorly a written scenario.
No I disagree obviously. Myself and other readers are wondering why the heroes didn't try to do literally anything at all to save Guinevere when we know they had the power to do so.
"Because it's written" doesn't really invalidate the complaint.
This might make more sense if Lance frequently immediately turns to suicide whenever someone he cares about is threatened.....but he doesn't. He just kung fus the shit out of the threat.
Nakaba just did a poor job writing this...
No the bad thing is that the characters have other resolution methods available, not that Lance will risk it all for Guinevere.
We already know that Lance shits on Cath and this is a self admitted weak and desperate Cath.
Its bizarre that Lance's first thought is "Sure, I'll cut my own throat"...
Pretty bad chapter.
I've been calling Galahad stupid but Lancelot's choice may be the stupidest in the series.
Very dumb. If he can snatch teeth out of Arthur's mouth without him realizing it, he should have been able to just cut the arm holding Guinevere.....who cares if she gets hurt...
