Would Douma be considered a good guy in the Nasuverse?

>>281815450 (OP)
Despite what recent times tell you most people before had their life figured out by the time they were 25

>>281815450 (OP)
What's wrong? Salty that you didn't manage to land a waifu in your 20s?

>beyond Olympic level athleticism, mastery of one or more fighting styles, years of experience fighting some of the most dangerous people in the world, “secret” agent known and feared by every major government
>welp, time to start my first year of high school

How?

>>281815450 (OP)
Makes sense, that is about when soccer players and sportsmen in general start to go downhill, and all kinds of health issues begin for them. The same would go for the assassins, so retiring in the 29 makes perfect sense.

Anime was a different era back then.

the war draft in medieval times was as young as 15
they also got married around that time

Cope

>>281815650
Yes. Most people used to know what they want in life before that. It's only now that people treat it as adult daycare.

>>281815450 (OP)
This is about right, yeah.

So you're telling me there's an university for assassins? (and missed your chance for a high school sweetheart and better yet finding a partner in your 20s?)

>>281816682
That is explicitly the opposite of what he wanted. The whole reason he sought the grail was for a better way, but it was already set to "kill all humans" mode by Angra Mainyu.

>>281816932
Angry Manlet did nothing wrong

>>281817017
Failing to kill all humans is wrong.

>he goes to university

lol

Older characters in anime/manga always skip a whole age range.
They are either in their 20s or they are instantly 60-70 (while looking young)

>has fought through infinite universes and times
>possessor of the Tyrant's Eye
>eternally bound to the Dark Flame Master
Age: 17

>>281815614
He got a personal waifu from a tube. That doesn't count.

>36 years old
That moment when you realize that you're older than Jet now but he still looks 20+ years older than you

>>281815450 (OP)
Surely /a/ is not older than Kerry and has a beautiful German wife and kid haha

>>281817017
Which one, the OG or the sludge

Galaxy spanning reputation as bringers of disaster
19 years old at most

>>281815650
Back in the day people were already married at 14~16.

>>281819712
To be fair, balding ages you like 10 years

>>281816480
Damn, who enlisted in the military then

>>281815450 (OP)
people married early in the past, and had tons of kids
the further you go, the younger the girls got and if the character of mary was real then she was probably raped by someone at 14 years old when she got pregnant and just said her baby was the son of god to not get stoned to death
alternatively, there are even situations where 20 something year old kings married a 11 yr who then got pregnant

>>281820878
Depends on the age and place. It can either be obligation, a chance to loot, a chance at status, a moral duty, just wanting to kill dudes, etc.

university has just become overgrown childcare

accordng to historical british marriage records they married around early twenties, but western euros are special, the rest of the world married them off as soon as they could.

>>281815650
NTA but my own father started working straight after secondary school and my mother finished secondary school after only three years and started working
Married and had their first child before 25. This idea of 3-4 years mandatory university before then potentially spending another year or two for a Masters before you even begin to work full time is a weird symptom of the modern age. And before you ask, I'm from a First World country
