Nice to see even the sin of pride acknowledge how powerful Mr Priest is. It hits harder coming from Lucifer

>>281218317
so when exactly does he start to decide something?

This fucking kid

He's gonna bang you Imuri, just be patient ok?

>>281218454
>Episode 43 was part 1.
It's even titled as part 1, it really shows just how much the entire story is planned out from the start

>>281218228
I get where he's coming from. But it feels weird that voting is his default answer here instead of maybe suggesting community service or something more aligned with what he'd be familiar with.

>>281218511
>These lines are way too familiar.
Feels like it's been in a couple manga over the years. For some reason I'm thinking Shaman king was one of them as Yoh is talking to Hao.

>>281218596
I can't unsee it now.

>>281218454
Fucking kino

>>281218228
Is this actually what he said in Japanese?

>>281218228
just let the world rot them i suppose

>>281218715
Not only that, but that arc directly parallels the current one
>it really shows just how much the entire story is planned out from the start
That's the most mind-blowing thing about the series. They make it look so easy, but other mangaka lose their way after just the first few arcs

>>281218724
>maybe suggesting community service or something more aligned with what he'd be familiar with
That wouldn't help with deciding the fate of the world though

>>281218724
It makes sense because he probably associates voting with big decisions ie changing the world

>>281218228
America really broke Japan. So many manga are just thinly veiled democracy propaganda.

>Voting is simply the rational solution
It's really not

>>281218454
Fuck me, this really is just Mob Psycho 100 but with the stakes taken to the extreme. Still think it's pure kino.

>>281218868
>That wouldn't help with deciding the fate of the world though
While the fate of the world is at stake, he was more specifically asked what he would do to change the world. Mr. Priest's recurring desire is to be a cook so I just imagine he's more grassroots than trying to directly impact the system on a governmental level.

>>281218870
I could accept that, but I think he probably should have aimed smaller than even just voting. Would also show how disconnected from actual problem-solving that doesn't involve violence he is. Not that suggesting voting doesn't accomplish that same goal.

>>281218317

>>281219094
>he was more specifically asked what he would do to change the world
Yeah, but suggesting community work is him taking a decision for the others, not much different form Lucifer at the end of the day. He doesn't want to take decisions for others, hell he even has trouble deciding stuff for himself

>>281218284
it's so perfect

>>281219273
>but suggesting community work is him taking a decision for the others
I mean he would be the one doing community work. Not that he's making some grand sweeping program everyone jumps on.

>>281219312
And that would change the world?

>>281219224
stabilize things through force first then think about voting? For starters Mr.priest is 17 he already went through world ugliness he saw some of its beauty,if he couldn't decide anything even a bit at this point might as well just go back and be a cook after dealing people are on his ass, no need to think about changing the world at all.

>>281219343
You ever volunteered at a soup kitchen or done anything to help anyone other than yourself anon? Yes it will change the world however small the impact is felt. And let's not kid ourselves here, I'd never say voting is a bad choice but depending on the scale of the election and the systems in place. Voting is likely to not really change anything at the end of the day.

Lucifer is all about being the one at the front. Priest here is suggesting the option that puts him potentially on the same level as everyone else. Again, I get why the author chose voting but it doesn't seem like something the character would think up in the spur of the moment given he's never even shown interest in the government and has largely existed outside it's control in favor of Vatican oversight.

>>281219359
>stabilize things through force first then think about voting?
So, basically what Lucifer is doing?
>if he couldn't decide anything even a bit at this point might as well just go back and be a cook after dealing people are on his ass, no need to think about changing the world at all.
Lucifer asked him how he plans to change the world

>>281218454
THAT'S MY MC!!

>>281218511
Kabuto Kouji's grandpa in Mazinger Z says that with its power he could either become a God or the Devil and Kouji basically snubs both choices to live as himself

>>281219426
>You ever volunteered at a soup kitchen or done anything to help anyone other than yourself anon? Yes it will change the world however small the impact is felt
Yeah, but that would end up being just an attempt at changing the world
>it doesn't seem like something the character would think up in the spur of the moment
Why not? He's doesn't think himself as above the others so voting is the natural solution

>>281219532
>Yeah, but that would end up being just an attempt at changing the world
That's what he's being asked. Or do you somehow think a single Italian voting is going to change the world anymore than a single italian running a kitchen for those less fortunate?
>Why not?
It's the rest of the sentence you didn't quote and probably didn't read anon. Dude has lived and existed outside the legal system his whole life. is it still something he could think of? Sure, I haven't said it wasn't. But I don't think it's the most in character thing the Priest would consider given his miniscule life experiences.

>>281218228
This arc is fucking great.

>>281219598
>Or do you somehow think a single Italian voting
His plan is to change the whole system, not use it to change things
>It's the rest of the sentence you didn't quote and probably didn't read anon
Look at how quickly you managed to get this already annoying discussion even worse
>I don't think it's the most in character thing the Priest would consider given his miniscule life experiences.
His reply is the result of his life + events of the story that happened so far. He was in Lucifer's position in the arc the chapter title directly reference and saw what could have happened. Suggesting voting is the result of his development

>>281219711
>His plan is to change the whole system, not use it to change things
I don't think you understand what Lucifer is asking here. He and Priest are both capable of shaking the foundations of the world and molding it to their whims. But Mr. Priest here is being asked what he's going to do if not utilize all that power and his answer is; just be a normal person and engage with the systems already in place.

He's not being asked how he'd change everything. He's being asked how he'd change anything.

>His reply is the result of his life + events of the story that happened so far
You'll note in the chapter that serves as part 1 for this, voting doesn't even really take place nor is it an emphasis. It's barely 2 panels of a common setup and the payoff. I get where you would say this is the inciting moment for him picking voting, but like I've been saying. He has other things far more relevant to his character, and now I can say, far more emphasized by the story that he could suggest.

>>281218228
>>281218284
Honestly this is really cheap, and really selfish and cowardly. What he means really is that he doesn't want the responsibility or having to think about it or run the risk of failing so he'll just do tiny things anyone can do. Problem is he is just so much more powerful than a normal person that he can't hide behind just wanting to be ordinary, he is making a choice not to use his powers or influence in any way. Which is fine in the sense that this is what most people do but if it's meant to be the "right" answer that's lame.

>>281219991
Selfish? Yes. Cowardly? Meh. Cheap? No.
Hell yeah, he doesn't want the responsibility.
It's not that he doesn't want to think about it, he wants to actually have a while to live and experience the world and hear out different ideas and really be able to think about it before deciding what he wants to back. He doesn't go "Voting, that's the solution!" he goes "I dunno, put it to a vote? Get off my fucking ass."
He didn't ask to be this powerful. He wanted to get his job over and die so he can be done with it. He already got abused by an asshole priest who wanted to push him into a bunch of shit he wasn't ready for, he's entirely in the right to not want get bumrushed by the fucking devil himself into committing to how the world should be fixed when he's been making decisions because he wants them and not because he's stuck with them for like, a couple of hours. Refusing to hand Imuri over to Marco is like the first time he's put his foot down in his life, he's not wrong to want to get experience until he's confident he can make decisions better than that..

>>281218454
>>281218228

>>281218317
Is Mammon ok?

>>281220239
I think it's less about committing and more that he isn't even considering doing more than an average person would. Like having superpowers and dealing with a murder happening in front of him by going "idk call the police maybe?". If he meant that by experiencing more and thinking about it he might eventually plan and work on something better using all the insane power he has at his disposal or his influence over the church, but I'm not really getting that from this, more "leave me alone I just want to be normal".

>>281220335
is he ever alright?

>>281218228

>>281219991
I know that what we expect to hear from our heroes is "with great power comes great responsibility" and all that, but that can't really apply to Priest's case when he's had no choice but to fight the demon lords. This line of work wasn't something he chose out of his own will. He was primarily motivated to do so to avoid getting whipped by ol' Saint Nick. Doesn't mean he never wanted to use his power to help others, but that was never the main reason why he kept fighting.
Bringing up Peter Parker again, he ultimately chose to become Spiderman after taking Uncle Ben's words to heart. It wasn't something that was forced upon him like Mr. Priest.
Priest just wants to live a normal life and enjoy it just like any other ordinary human can before jumping back into the fray.

>>281219991
Yeah. Somebody compared it to Mob Psycho earlier but that worked because the villains were murderous chuunibyou whose delusions of grandeur weren't helping anybody. Lucy is legitimately trying to help

>>281220495
I see similarities with mob, but the story isn't only about Mr Priest

>>281219991
>>281220392
Realistically this is for the better. You have to remember, he's a 17 year old that spent most of his life being a tortured murder puppet with no real life experience until he started protecting Imuri. He's in no position to really make a big choice like this and saying he needs to do something grand because he has the power to do so is putting him in a really bad position. He says he's an ordinary person but honestly I don't think he is, he's much much worse off than a regular person.

>>281218228
>>281218284
>>281218317
>their faces
I genuinely love this manga.

>>281219991
He's 17 and never got a childhood, why the fuck should he have to hold the weight of the world on his shoulders already. Maybe when he's older he can consider going outside the system but he's barely had any time to do something a normal kid would.

>>281218284
It was at that moment that Lucifer realized he was well and truly fucked.

>>281220392
He literally went on a multi-page monologue about wanting to get actual experience so he can make up his own mind what he even thinks, ending it with "don't rush me."

He's having this conversation with Lucifer because he's NOT willing to just sit by as bystander. The average humans are sitting on Earth arguing about politics and TV shows. They don't care if every demon in hell gets erased from existence because their boss decided to do mad science to them. He still gets Imuri back even if he lets Lucifer wipe hell clean, his interfering is 100% him deciding to make a stand on this issue because he feels like it.
He's probably not going to spend all his time coming up with the optimal plan. What he's proposing is that he spend it actually getting to know the world and then he'll see what other things he's willing to try to kick an angel's ass over.

>>281218195
Where are all the idiots who thought that Lucifer would be overpowered by Preist-kun? It was always going to be an ideological victory over Lucifer and he literally said it was in his prediction.

>>281219991
He's being the mature one here.
He want people to decide by themselves not to leave to an abused unexperienced 17 year old.

Basically.
Priest is being libertarian, while Lucifer is being a socialist piece of shit.

>>281220870
He already knows he is well and truly fucked. He's unfortunately just a puppet on strings acting on a plan he paradoxically thinks he can change, yet everything plays out exactly as he foresaw.

>>281219991
Uncle Ben shut the fuck up. This is the problem with you boomers.

>>281218228
'MERICA FUCK YEAH.

>>281221029
Priest is a liberal (don't think US politics) not libertarian.

>>281221245
Nah, he's being a libertarian.
It's not voting in the democratic political sense here, he just want to let people try to decide by themselves instead of him or Lucifer deciding for them.

>>281218454
Fighting pride with humbleness.

>>281218380
Power fantasy fags will hate this.

>>281221092
The thing is, I don't think he did. If he knew what was going to happen, with 100% accuracy, he wouldn't have been surprised by that answer.

>>281218380

>>281221463

>>281218228
But really, was this a good response in front of a fallen angel who's trying to perform rapture to all human and demonkind?

>>281221424
>I don't think he did
There's an odd discrepancy with Lucifer because so far nothing has deviated from God's plan that he saw. But he's still a pretty emotional guy. Other people in his situation would be cold and callous because they saw it all play out and nothing is new to them. Which leads me to believe Lucifer's knowledge is more like him reading a book and now he's living the actual moments. So his reactions can be genuine even if he knew it happening in advance. Like being spoiled about a movie plot and still watching it.

>>281221424
He knows what will happen, he doesn't know why or how.

To be fair, popes are selected by election so Father-kun isn't inherently wrong.

>>281221424
There's always a big different between knowing and experiencing, just like how huge of a disappoinment he felt when Priest declined his offer despite knowing it before hand.

>>281219426
Voting was the thing that came to his mind because it's the closest thing he knows about workign together hand in hand instead of being the powerful being who dictates the pace.
Even priestman is not confident about what he said.

>>281220335
Mammon is all about ambition, so seeing the one he considers his 'rival' say such things must hurt him.

Kino. Nice reflection of Dante's advice to him in chapter 1

>>281220392
You have to keep in mind that the whole 'savior' thing was forced into Father-kun.
He never liked it. He was abused all his life by his real father and then by his adoptive father in the church. It is not until he meets Dante that he gets some semblace of support.
He really doesn't care about the whole Satan thing or saving the world besides the fact that he and his friend live in it. He just wants to have a normal life that is not having to be the savior (let alone the king) of the world.

>>281221286
That's not what Libertarianism is. Liberalism is literally just right to vote + protection of people's rights/freedoms. Libertarian is specifically just small government/fuck off, which is not what he's suggesting here (he could potentially be one but nothing he said suggests that).

>>281221820
The chapter when they enter Lucifer's realm. Like 8 or so chapters ago.

>>281221883
You don't know what Libertarianism is, you just putting it all in an Ancap basket.

It's the chapter when the gang go through the gate and enter Lucifer's layer for the first time.

>>281221898

>>281221286
I always thought that Libertarian is similar to chaos route in SMT.
You are free to do whatever you want which is the strong eats the weak world.

>>281221910
Thanks

>>281221910
Philosophically speaking libertarians are liberals taken to the extreme on what constitutes a right is (ignoring real world examples because that's not the grounds on this). If not, then what exactly is he saying that is not liberal and exclusively libertarian and give a definition for both. In the real world libertarians are more like >>281221953 said where personal rights aren't really protected by the government because the government is weak and it's more wild west.

>>281221953
Libertarianism is voluntarianism plus the non-agression principle. Nothing more.

>"Initiating force or violence against another person or their property is inherently wrong"

That's it.
What Lucifer is doing here goes against it, while Priest just wants to let people decide.

>>281218317
An answer so stupid it dumbfounded even Lucifer who foresaw it.

>>281222016
Yeah, you don't know what libertarianism is, you're still throwing it all in an Ancap/Anarchist basket.

>>281222045
Non-agression principle is the part that's controversial.
Imagine that I am so rich that I can buy everything I want, bully my competitors with low prices until they can't fight back then rise my prices to make everyone barely able to survive but not thrive once my competitors bite the dust.
Does that count as aggression?

>>281222113
Depends on the community.
Don't mistaken lack of state for lack of laws or governance, it's just that with libertarianism you are not bound by the state self-imposed social contract.

>>281222067
You're right then, libertarianism has nothing to do with voting, which means he definitely isn't one.

In a community , the rich ones will naturally be able to do what I just said so most people will become slaves to powerful ones if there is nothing to restrain them.
As a community lets agree that what the rich fucker do is aggression, but that rich fucker is not bound to accept the community rule and do whatever he wants anyways.

>>281222207
The person I was responding to was.

>>281222244
>In a community , the rich ones will naturally be able to do what I just said so most people will become slaves to powerful ones if there is nothing to restrain them.
They are not bound to them, that's the difference.
They can just leave or not be involved. The problem with the state is that forces you to be part of it under the threat of aggression.

>As a community lets agree that what the rich fucker do is aggression, but that rich fucker is not bound to accept the community rule and do whatever he wants anyways.
If he's in violation of a contract he's subject to the law, if he does not subject to the law then the community may be free to throw him out or apply any sanctions provided by breaking the contract, if he continues and cause aggression he violates the NAP, if he violates it, he's not protected by it.

>>281222285
Quote it.

>>281222061
I imagine that Lucifer's knowledge of the future only extended to what he told Priest at the beginning: >>281221092
So he didn't know how Priest would get him to see his ways until it actually happened.

Are you iliterate?

>>281222364
How is the community going to apply sanctions if the rich fucker owns almost everything?
How the community is going to kick out the rich fucker without any power?

>>281222433
Alright you pedantic fucker if you're saying someone is being something it's implying they are something unless it's in some context where it's out of the ordinary. And he's still being a liberal more than a libertarian because he's advocating for voting and individual rights.

>>281222453
>How is the community going to apply sanctions if the rich fucker owns almost everything?
>How the community is going to kick out the rich fucker without any power?

So you're talking about an specific hypothetical case where the rich fucker is a Bond super-villain and everyone else is just a bunch of booger-eaters who altough have the liberty to buy guns and everything else, don't, and they don't have any power whatsoever, a bunch of powerless naive children?

Well, in that hypothetical dumbass scenario you cooked up, they could still just leave.
Unless you want to specify that the super-villain somehow took their power to leave too?

Well in that case he's just the american government for example.

>>281222526
Learn to read, being != is.
He's being libertarian in the sense that he wants people to decide, voting can be a form of people deciding, he's not thinking about the political process mad-kun.

>>281222613
Voting is a political process.

>>281219991
I see it as more Mr. Priest accepting that he’s literally just a kid versus Lucifer trying to play God
It’s very heavily implied that Lucifer’s plan is doomed to fail (the symbolism in pic rel is not subtle), but he’s too stubborn to give it up. He has good intentions, but this doesn’t somehow mean he has the wisdom to create a better world than God can. It ties into his sin of pride; he vastly overestimates what he understands and can do.
Mr. Priest on the other hand accepts that, his power aside, he’s just a kid who doesn’t know shit.

>>281222632
Could be, but the gist of it is that he wants people to decide by themselves.
While you are probably imagining an electoral process, Priest-kun hasn't tought about it, he just wants to let people decide.

>>281220649
He also almost ended the world when he DID try and make a grand scale choice, so this can also be seen as reflecting on that and choosing to let people have their own lives even if it might be “worse” for them instead of steamrolling over their decisions with power. He knows his own judgement is flawed, so he isn’t going to impose it on everyone unlike Lucy who can’t comprehend that there even could be anything wrong with his.

>>281222674
How the fuck is voting "could be"? That's the most explicit thing. He never even says anything about what other people should do and their rights, just his own because he's undecided/still growing and learning.

>>281222613
The hypothetical is that the rich fucker uses his power to not let the rest to realistically be able to get power.
This kind of shit happens in a lower scale in places where the authority doesn't hold real power like the illicit flea market in shitter countries because the mafia is going to stop others from getting weapons and the community will starve if the mafia doesn't give them a place to sell their wares or doesn't supply them (stolen things). The community is free to leave the place but they will starve. The community is free to fight back, but they will lose.
Is complete freedom for everyone.

>>281222798
"Could be" in the sense that he says "Voting... maybe"
>MAYBE
Seriously anon, learn to read.
He doesn't know, he just wants to let people decide, voting is just a suggestion.

>manga dialogue about "voting"
>discussion focused on politics just because of this
These are the people the little priest is supposed to save, God help us

>>281222839
That has nothing to do with letting other people decide, it's how he (probably) wants to change the world. The "maybe" is because he's not sure if it's enough.

>>281222669
>He has good intentions,
Lucifer is "Hell is paved with good intention" manifest"

I agree with you Mr Priest despite all his power admit he is just a flawed human that know jack shit. It's his success in facing the sin of pride.

Now the question is : what are the two thing dear to him will he lose ?

>>281221815
>>Using the panels where he was cool to debase him
He was cool, and then Lucifer bitch slapped which is the joke.

>>281222891
Voting is inherently political. This is exactly why democracy is failing. The people lack education.

>>281222958
You're the one who doesn't seem to understand the main point is he wants to be treated as a normal and voting is "normal" and everything after is liberal and instead implying it's about letting people decide and somehow libertarian instead. But yeah, we've already shitted up this thread enough.

>>281222902
Retard-chama...

>>281218454
Kinooooo

>>281218167
Wouldn't Lucifer's world be a libertarian dream? If everyone's a godlike being then everyone can pretty much self determine/never get ruled by another (aside from Lucifer probably).

>>281223283
I'm the libertarian anon, and yeah, pretty much.

>>281222950
Considering how his main goal is to be a normal person, it's possible that he'll be able to return to Earth and make up with his friends there and work out something with the Church. Which would give him more things to lose.

>>281223283
I am anti libertarian, but I would be one if Lucifer wins because if everyone are equally powerful, then full freedom is great.

Ideal political systems obviously depend on the condition of humans. If people stop being people everything changes. It's why you can laugh at most ancap shit because it depends on world peace basically (because you bet your ass any centralized state could eventually steamroll/conquer others also).

>This manga is kino
>Mob Psycho 100 is also kino
I'm starting to see a pattern.

>>281223750
I feel like Mob and Priest would get along really well.

His faith, I guess, for one.
Possibly Dante, or his memories of/feelings for Imuri.

1) His place in the mortal realm.
2) His friends.

>>281218228
Yeah! Voting! That always allows the optimal solution to the world's problems, and definitely can't be undermined by rich propagandists!

>>281224102
I think that's the point. It's to show how disconnected from the day-to-day life everybody else lives he is. It's like another anon said: he's not saying "I've got it! I'll just change the world through the democratic process!", he's going "uhhh, voting I guess? Isn't that what normal people do?" And then that segues into his speech about wanting to live a normal life.

Absolute kino. The perfect contrast of pride versus humility.
>how will you change the world with your great power that rivals my own?!
>idk dude I'm just a kid how am I supposed to know what's best for everyone?

>>281218284
Kino speech, but my problem is that the demon lords are literally the sole thing responsible for keeping him from living out his life in peace. All of the demon lords he faced were targeting him specifically for one reason or another and were determined to insert themselves into his life. I'd imagine the church would be more than willing to give him a normal life if the demon lords would just stop attacking the Earth whenever they felt like it.
Maybe with the 78 adult exorcists being trained, Priest will be able to get off the hook, but the demon lords are the main issue here. I guess maybe Lucifer and Leviathan can go and tard wrangle the others to keep them from fucking things up on Earth and forcing Priest to engage with them again and again.

>>281218228
Why is he such a goober sisters?

All of you are wrong, Priest is a centrist!
>i just want to grill, for Pete's sake!

Nah, he was probably meant to be the next pope considering he can easily recreate biblical miracles.
He's literally catholicism's strongest propaganda weapon.

I was hoping he was not going to go the redeeming demons route, now the priest is literally the fucking anti-christ

>>281220335
Mammon is the demon lord of Greed, isn't he? He would know that most (if not all) politicians are controlled by money at the end of the day. He obviously would be shocked that Priest-kun is okay with the system that Mammon can manipulate easily. It definitely shows Priest's mortality. Believing in something human which the demon Lords are beyond.

>>281218228
Voting got us literal child raping and child sacrificing demons on top, little priest.

I hope these millennia old demons feel very silly right now.

Seen this play out so many times.

>>281226481
To be fair, this trope wouldn't be so common if it wasn't so realistic. Too many idiots put their faith in kids pushed into power (Nepobabys basically), and too many of these Nepobabys are too afraid to say no to these scary adults who think they have all the answers. When people put all their faith in a dumb Nepobaby who doesn't know what he is doing, it's bound to cause bad results. "All powerful kid is still just a kid" is moral that should be remembered daily.

Nigga what. Mr. Priest is saving humanity. You don't have to rule them or control them which is what Lucifer wants with the best intentions even if it be damning. It's the free will to do what he wants over what Lucifer wants. Mr. Pries is also, in his own right, "respecting free will" as opposed to a forced salvation.

Swear to god, if we don't get an anime adaptation announcement with the release of chapter 100 I'm gonna be pissed.

How is this manga selling compared to Magilumiere?

I don't care.

>>281229201
cool, so why are you here then?

>>281228296
I don't see any world where this manga doesn't instantly become immensely popular once the anime's announced. If not for the well-crafted story, it covers a number of themes that would certainly set the internet on fire:
>Christianity (with a deeper look than just "le church...is corrupt!")
>little boys getting molested by women
>Mammon's whole thing about being empowered by bigotry
>canon yaoi for fujos to sperg over
It's insane to me how literally every animation studio is sleeping on this gold mine.

>>281218228
LMAO

Man that was a long side trip to politics...

>>281230500
>Priest merely mentions voting
>Sends /a/ into a schism
He may really be the Antichrist, bros...

>>281230926
This manga attracts a good number of real Christians or at least believers.
Burgerland Christians are a bit weird and take everything politically.

>>281229354
...is Dante a suicidal?

>>281229313
Because this isn't the Magilimiere thread?

>>281218454

FUUUARK THERE HE IS
THERE GOES GOD'S STRONGEST SOLDIER

>>281218228
I get the message here but at the same time this is a story where actual world ending demons litetally exist and actively worm their way into humanity.

>>281232237
>but at the same time this is a story where actual world ending demons litetally exist and actively worm their way into humanity.
Isn't that also the point though? THESE WORLD ENDING DEMONS WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT AND POWER AND TERRIBLE SINS still lose to humanity in the end because of humans free will. For every sin that is possible, there is also a possibility to do good and preserve through the challenge life in the right way. A demon as prideful as Lucifer could never understand the humility Priest has for choosing to be a human being who makes mistakes instead of an all-powerful and all-controlling figure that must always be in control.
