    - He acts out of a personal idea of justice.
    - He's always monologuing about justice.
    - He is a powerful idiot.
    - He has a harem.

    Its funny how he says "Fight me Fair and Square" when that fight wasn't fair at all, I mean Naofumi is extremely weak attacking and can only use defensive skills(for now), not only that but the spear hero has a decent defense plus an offensive power that is off the charts when it comes to skills, and if all of that was not enough his Equipment is 10 times better than Naofumi's and he is 20 levels higher. Idk how many of you have played RPGs before but let me tell you that winning against an opponent 20 levels higher than you is almost impossible unless you are lucky and a pro at the game, because his stats, equipment, boosts and skills are much higher than you (imagine your strongest skill deals 2000 DPS, then a guy 20 levels higher probably has a skill that deals 10,000 DPS) and on top of that Naofumi won with only defensive skills, I was honestly impressed when I read this in the manga

    • @ryandoan1580

      The rule of the duel is not to drain the opponent's health bar but only to pin him down. Even being 20 lvls down Naofumi held a legendary weapon so it's reasonable to say that he can effectively block most of Motoyasu's damage. Referring again to the rules of the duel, we can see that all Naofumi have to do is use his godly utility and cc to punish Motoyasu, and again this is no point and click MMO. Motoyasu's stats are shit if Naofumi blocks or dodges all of his attacks, and minor but not really a spoiler, but later it is said that the 3 heroes' combat skills are significantly inferior to the kingdom's best swordsman and of course, Naofumi's guild, as the Sword hero lost a cannot be more anticlimatic and predictable duel vs a swordswoman 10 lvls lower than him.

    • @roguegn

      @@ryandoan1580 Combat Skills and stats are 2 different things, a trained knight wiped the floor with the sword hero in a little duel/training and pissed him off so much that he used a sword skill against her(read this part a long time ago), their skills are really strong its just that they are not trained and they put little effort into becoming stronger because of how arrogant they all are and because of that they would be pretty weak if it wasn't because of the skills that the legendary weapons have.(and even with skill they are really weak against the real threats)
      Going back to the duel, if you put aside the weapons which are both legendary and stats, Naofumi right now is not trained and he doesn't have that much fighting experience but he does have great Defense against both physical and magical attacks, but if another hero 20 levels higher than him fights by only using the skills of a legendary weapon then its not gonna be a walk in the park for him.(its not like our MC is skilled enough right now to block and dodge all of Motoyasu's attacks) The 3 heroes are pretty weak considering they are "heroes", the only reason they are alive right now is because they have OP weapons, so don't focus on Motoyasu but rather on his spear and the skills it has, the only reason why Naofumi actually took some damage in this duel is because of the Spear skills and not the hero using them. My point is that Motoyasu himself is not strong, but his skills and stats are much stronger than Naofumi's.

The anime explained it, but the visuals certainly did not. They made it seem like the Spear Knight didn't know he was assisted.
      The only way anyone could rationalise this is that Spear Knight was too busy with the balloon enemies that he didn't hear a thing and wasn't looking in Naofumi's direction, but even then wouldn't it be strange that Naofumi suddenly repositioned himself to Spear Knight's left?

      I wonder how much damage Shadow the hedgehog’s chaos spear would do to naofumi since it’s channeled by chaos energy.

    For everyone who wants to see a MC getting betrayed and actually going for the revenge, I recommend the manga "Nidome no Yuusha".
    Basically, the MC gets killed by his allies but unlike Naofumi who got soothed by Raphtalia, he wants everyone who did him wrong to suffer.

      Another similar manga is Ubell Blatt. It focuses on a swordsman named Koinzell who was betrayed by the people he once fought with to save the kingdom from an evil empire. They killed him and stole all the glory, declaring themselves the Seven Heroes and dubbing Koinzell and the other three allies they murdered the Four Traitorous Lances. Twenty years after his supposed death, Koinzell now seeks the Heroes heads and doesn't care one bit if they are now the beacons that are keeping the kingdom safe. He intends to cut them down regardless of the consequences, and it is glorious when he does.
