Princess Roroa makes a big impression in Realist Hero episode 21. She has a lot in common with King Souma – and can be his intellectual rival.
Kodoani.com – WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Tập 21 How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom.
The premise of Realist Hero revolves around a modern-day student from Japan who is trying to revive a medieval fantasy kingdom through political reform. King Souma Kazuya often monologues about the pros and cons of a given plan, giving examples from his world to illustrate what he wants to do. Despite his efforts to find people with similar talents, he often appeared to be above his subjects and courts. In episode 21, Roroa Amidonia’s foresight challenged Souma’s status as the series’ smartest character, as the princess revealed that she was even more understanding than she was previously told. .
In episode 20, Souma’s Elfrieden Kingdom merged Roroa’s Principality of Amidonia, and she asked him to marry her. Episode 21 clarifies Roroa’s plans as she outlines how she can help the new nations unify. Turns out she played a key role in the uprisings that led Amidonia to join Elfrieden – and she has more in common with Souma than she initially seems.
Roroa established herself as an ally of Souma when she candidly suggested that his Gems Broadcast program spend time “promoting local wares”, with merchants paying for the kingdom. No one else, including Souma, has suggested sponsored broadcasts, highlighting how much they enjoy having modern-day ideas in a fantasy setting. However, the hint also shows how different their thinking is – and potentially complementary.
While Souma’s ‘modern’ ideas in the anime include reforming the city and alleviating hunger with agricultural innovation, Roroa deals with the potentially more cynical world of advertising and marketing. This suits the literal merchant princess, who worked to purchase Elfrieden’s royal jewels in Episode 1. At worst, however, this could translate into official broadcasts becoming more too dependent on personal interests.
When Souma reminds Roroa of his role in her father Gaius’ death, her reaction is both logical and emotional – another way in which she resembles Souma philosophically. She emphasizes the “Kill or be killed” nature of war, downplaying the individual guy’s involvement in Gaius’ death. She also criticized how her father’s obsessive focus on military funding had starved the Amidonian population, expressing frustrated sympathy for those most affected by his policies. Roroa’s personal feelings for the Amidonians reflect Souma’s desire for the people of Elfrieden to prosper, and her more detached view of war casualties reflects a more pragmatic side. of Souma as a realist.
Their conversation reinforces how her business acumen, planning abilities, and intelligence can provide value to the court. She tells Souma that marrying her will give him additional legitimacy in terms of ruling Amidonia, and she also proposes running her own business and using its profits to grow. Souma’s royal budget. Roroa also confirmed that she, with the help of new finance minister Gatsby Colbert, was responsible for various uprisings in Amidonia that eventually led to its union with Elfrieden. The fact that she made this huge change without Souma’s awareness speaks volumes about her intelligence
Some events being monitored by an unexpected third party can be an act of capture that undermines the roles of other characters, but there are a few ways that Realist Hero has handled this behavior well. First, Roroa’s involvement was thoughtfully heralded by Prime Minister Hakuya Kwonmin’s concerns that another force was behind the uprisings, as well as scenes of Roroa and Gatsby’s mysterious encounter. appear continuously throughout the previous episodes. Her mission does in fact contain some unplanned twists as well – such as another rebellion instigated by the Lunarian Orthodox Papal State, which is less helpful to her plans.
Souma might not only be convinced by Roroa’s skills and intelligence, but also by how similar their personalities are. When Gatsby politely suggested that Roroa’s profits be transferred to the treasury, they both replied emphatically, “No problem!” all together. This is despite Gatsby asking Souma’s permission to talk, and Roroa not. Souma is clearly prepared to forgive her countless sins due to her power being the resource for the kingdom.
There’s always the risk of Souma becoming a leader when he explains his plans to his relatively old-fashioned group. As he completes his quest to find the kingdom’s most talented people, it becomes increasingly clear that his future gift is not just intelligence, but helping others make the most of his own power. surname. Together with Episode 19 scientist Genia Maxwell, Roroa Amidonia helped demonstrate that Souma’s modern way of thinking is not as rare as it is in the isekai world.
