My Isekai Life “I Meant Too Strong” Review
My Isekai Life “I Meant Too Strong” is the third episode of the My Isekai Life anime. Following the predictable yet fun events off episode 2 Yuji continues tracking the rock dragon with Tina and Lisa. The moon and sky suddenly turn blue, as foretold by the cultist’s prophecy, and a blue dragon appears, forcing them to shelter in nearby Delight Canyon. The rock dragon emerges and blocks Yuji, Tina and Lisa from going further. With the slimes Yuji uses a powerful fire spell to burn the Earth Dragon so only its skeleton remains. With the dragon skull and the bounty on Gelios the guild pays them 14 million gold. Yuji is drawn into a meeting with Guild Chief Rayard and Grand Cathedral representative Father Steyl. Steyl reveals in church legend the dragon appeared and destroyed a continent before being defeated by a divine emissary who rivalled the power of God. 30 years ago the church performed a summoning ceremony to cause the emissary to appear one week before the dragon, but the emissary never came. Even without the emissary Rayard orders the guild to attack the dragon at first light. In private, Steyl reveals a holy vision directed him to gift Yuji a church relic, the Dagger of Kethis, which can focus magic power. That night, as his slimes report that the blue dragon continues to grow larger, Yuji fears many adventurers will die and comes to a decision.
Overpowered Isn’t Necessarily A Good Thing
I loved this episode, it was in this episode that Yuji’s natural ability with magic and natural “OP-ness” isn’t necessarily a good thing. It makes him stand out like a sore thumb and everyone can tell there’s something different about him. His decision to protect the adventurers even though it could potentially risk exposing him when clearly that’s the last thing he wants just goes to show his kind nature too. He’s not the wooden, no-personality protagonist the first two episodes would have you believe. There’s more to him and it’s being revealed in little bits, I love that and I find Yuji fascinating. Can’t wait to se how he does against the dragon, I’ve got a feeling he’ll actually have a bit of trouble for once.
