Silly and goofy isn't a signifier of personality. Nor was that anything I was using to say he is bland and basic. The author really hasn't written him to be anything other than a brooding revenge driven MC. We know literally nothing else about him, what he likes or dislike, what he'll do after achieving said revenge. I am judging a character that feels like a plot device rather than a person living in the world the author is creating.

Edit: Maybe, I am wrong and missing something here. What do you feel is strong about his personality and characterization? If we strip away the revenge part what is left of the character Chihiro?
Should we expect a Farmland Arc for Chihiro? I really don't think it'll happen.

I wish but if it happens to have a Naruto/Boruto Super Stage the first leak itself will be from other account (probably Mirai) since they actually pay 💰for that lol but i will announce right after :grin

You guys are in your prime. I'm probably the oldest member here 43.

Nobody is asking for that. Just a more developed, well-rounded character who has a sliver of personality.

This. So friggin’ much. It’s admittedly why I dropped it.

Hell, even SakaDays‘ MC has more personality than Chihiro! SD being a pure action manga doesn’t stop it from trying to give more characterization to its core characters (even if it sometimes miss). Sakamoto has more charisma than Chihiro, because he has a life and different side outside of being the BEST DAMN assassin.

I thought Chihiro's path as a character is meant to be "giving up your revenge, there are more in life aside revenge"

I would hope so. But so far, I haven’t heard of spoilers heading towards that way. If it does though, I might change my mind.

I think this is very obviously the direction the manga is taking after the previous arc, and I dislike it. "Revenge is bad" is boring.

depends, if Hokazono can make the same way Kishimoto and Yukimura did, then we're in for a treat

I believe it is. With the series being aired on several platforms, got an opening and ending festival of 1 song per day and shorts from all episodes for people to catch up it's screaming continuation from the inheritance arc.

Lucky you for believing in it. I’ve lost all hope.

I think the raid """arc""" being so mediocre, and the flashback turning off other fans for lacking the protag + just having lower stakes, is leading to less enthusiasm about the series.
Are you sure ?

The last two chapters were the most commented about in their respective release weeks.

I really am lucky. I lost all hope for Psyren after voting in the questionairre for years for most wanted anime adaptations and look at me now. Even if you don't believe I hope you'll get the animes that you wished for as well.

Revenge isn't bad or boring but Chirhiro as a character is pretty bland and boring. That is the crux of the discussion we have been having. Revenge in itself isn't good or bad perse, but the character (the Main Character) that ends up being reduced to a plot device due to it is bad.

Not all comments are good/positive comments. It could be that people were online complaining about those 2 chapters. I do not personally know but the number of comments doesn't always equate to a positive reaction or reception.
Hopefully Viz does a full physical release in English of the Reborn manga if the reborn anime is a hit
I never read the manga or watch the original anime. I am quite interested given the buzz about it.

It is strange that whenever some Japanese readers complain about something, overseas fans take it for granted that the entire Japanese fandom shares the same opinion, as if it had a collective mind.
