Is it just me, or are we starting to really strain the definition of “question” here?

Fool! / BAKA!
I’m honestly not sure what I’m supposed to be doing this week. Is this just a post dedicated to best boy Excalibur? Am I meant to let you know if I like him or not? Is this a sub vs dub debate? Ok I may be overthinking things but you have to admit this isn’t exactly the clearest question.
Assuming that this question related to my general feelings about Excalibur, he’s the best of course. He’ll tell you himself if you ever give him half a chance. Or 1/9871046629816318364th of a chance. It’s not even a question of opinion, Excalibur is the objective best weapon available.
I love comedic relief characters in general so I have a soft spot for the obnoxious motormouth. Sure he’s annoying, it’s his role and he plays it to a t. I particularly liked that they went out of their way to show us that he can back up all his extravagant claims, yet it still didn’t make him bearable. What’s more, no bad guys ever seemed to have considered using him either. He’s just that insufferable.
Ever since I read Schweik as a kid I have had a fondness for forcefully annoying characters. Obviously the routine would get very old very quickly if he was a supporting character with any sort of important input in the story, but as a rarely seen recurring guest, his intrusions were simply light distraction and tension breaks that made me smile more often than not.
So if the question is Excalibur yay or nay, I vote yay. If we actually had to choose between the words Baka and fool.. that’s impossible!!!!
Suggested drink : Village Idiot (sounds yummy)
- Every time any character makes a fool of themselves – laugh
- Every time Excalibur shows up – take a sip
- Every time Excalibur says baka – drink some water
- if another character says baka – take a sip
- Every time a character has a stroke of genius – take a sip
- Every time Maka is exasperated of being surrounded by idiots – feel her pain
I cannot stand Excalibur. His episodes are the ones I skip on rewatches. He drives me crazy.
I think that’s the point. It’s baffling that I would have more patience though. This doesn’t happen often.
Oooo! definitely may have to use this drink in the future! Sounds so good and WHAT A GREAT NAME! Lol! There are so many manga and anime with that annoying motor-mouth character that it was good to hear that this is one that just pops in to give some insight and that’s about it. Sometimes they just get out of hand!
Right – fantastic name! An easy but I’m betting great summertime alternative to the classic martini.
Sould Eater already has way too many outlandish characters, this one would have been completely unbearable if he had been more present
