Is it really a requirement for all this to be an isekai? Like does it have to be depraved? And im noticing alot of anime stereotypes i mean isekai has now evolved and now involves anyone who gets transported to a fantasy world, not strictly for anime like some non anime isekai: owl house and amphibia i could even be argued that the wizard of oz is isekai, and i have seen isekais where the characters have personality, and they have to grow and did not get hit by a truck, ie shield hero and re:zero though granted i think it is implied the main character in re:zero did die but the main character in shield hero didnt, also nowadays arnt most of these tropes as outlined in the video parody?

I'm not saying we need a thousand "power of friendship" stories, just more stories where the characters have that strong sense of camaraderie. Also, I wouldn't say I'm a die hard S.A.O. fan, but I don't believe it deserves all of the hate it gets. If you're interested, then I suggest you check out "Sword Art Online Progressive." It's more or less a reboot of Sword Art Online, but this time, it's the story Reiki Kawahara wanted to tell. Instead of jumping ahead in time like the original anime did, Progressive shows Kirito, Asuna, and the original members of the clearing group getting used to their situation and navigating through the first couple of floors. And, the story starts off from Asuna's perspective.

But I remember that the protagonist used to be very active who did extreme sports until she got into an accident, which didn't kill her but it left her paralysed, she died ten years after that with all the memories and regrets of her rock climbing, paragliding, biking and black diamond skiing days. She dosn't regain her memories until she is 16, but all of these desires were transferred, which made her into an irredeemable tomboy who kept getting dirty and into trouble. While this of course annoyed her mother and father, more then anything it annoyed her twin, who is much more stereotypical feminine, but also a snob and somewhat of a villainess. I think she was called Mary, with the Protagonist Sue. Mary is in love with one of the kingdom princess, but Sue just think he's a pansy, because he is not that masculine. Then something happens where Sue accidentally rescues the prince and he falls in love with her, which neither twin is crazy about. I believe they try to pretend to be the other after that, which of course can only end in disaster. Sue don't know the first thing about a tea ceremony, because she have never once wanted to try, and Mary have never even touched a horse before, much less ridden one.

A man of good taste. Who knew that charismatic leaders bringing everyone around them to accomplish great things and building a society around themselves would be compelling to read? Or alternatively, how existing society interacts and jostles with this new upstart group and all of his values like no slavery, the worship of capitalism, liberalism, that ideology that caused the Napoleonic wars, because despite society being ordered by Religion and Feudalism, those two systems never counteract the protagonist.

@@slav7571 Then people will just complain about endless exposition.

rise of the shiesh hero lol

the entire point is so the writer dosnt have to solve the problem of how to introduce the world to the audience. mc dies and reincarnates, everything is brand new for him and we are along for the ride as he discovers this weird world he now finds himself in. compare that with actually having a character start in saaid weird world and how its his normal, writing a beginning for that takes way more effort. personally, i have a story ive been working on for a while and the middle and ending are good, but i just cannot for the life of me figure out how to **start** the thing for the heck of it i tried writing an isekai start annd poof, took me 5 minutes and it works. i however actually respect myself and hate isekai so i certainly wont be using that

I have two story ideas that involve reincarnation, neither of which have the “past life memories” stuff played straight. The first one has the multiple isekai’d characters remember little to nothing about their past life and gradually explore them through magically induced in-person flashbacks. Existential crisis ensues. The second is one where the single isekai’d character has an imaginary friend, and it isn’t readily established that the story is an isekai. Then, that imaginary friend turns out to be a manifestation of the protagonist’s past life memories. Apparently they had an interesting but unfulfilling life, full of many ambitions, and their reincarnation went a different but equally interesting way in the new world. Bonus points for the past life making the reincarnation as an alter ego or persona. Also, more existential crisis ensues. I think I like this specific kind of story…

@@imagiguard You are describing Grimgar and Prisma Illya. 2nd one might not be for you though cause loli is a big casual filter

@imagiguard Maybe split the story between existential crisis/having to sweat for every inch of progress in the isekai world. and the cast of his friends and family dealing with the fallout of his sudden death. Maybe he was helping someone through loss, maybe he had a job he loved, or a partner he argued with and never got a chance to make up with.

@@johnathanrichardson The main draw of the whole reincarnation idea (at least for me) is having the protagonist respawn as something other than a human, and them having to struggle with getting used to how their new abilities work. (I’ve been contemplating on starting a parody series about a guy getting reincarnated as a glass of juice and having to figure out how to do literally anything.) unfortunately, more often than not people just opt for the boring option of just having them reincarnate as a human or maybe an elf or something every now and then.

And if they were well writen, maybe we read something more "unpleasant" but more exciting. Like trying to survive in a different world, without family, without friend, without powers (or few ones), and being just some weirdo from a weird place.

@@Frendlu You would think more stories would tackle that

Unfortunately, you forgot about the business aspect, specifically, commercial writing. If you're a new writer, you can't make your story too unique because it will take 1-2 years (best case scenario) before your work gets some traffic and you can earn money. Of course, this is also assuming that you've written a good story. On top of that, also assuming that you're a gifted writer, it takes years to learn how to write really well and consistently. Furthermore, there's also something called life -- school, work, family, friends, etc. Are you willing to spend 5-10 years of your life writing while barely doing anything else without a 100% guarantee that you'll even make it as a professional writer? So yeah, sadly, the quick and safest route to earn money as a writer or manga artist is to write a commercially viable story which is why almost all isekai stories look the same. Passion is great, but we also need to be practical 🤷

​@@letsworkoutabit1959 Except are they really that commercially viable? Like, there lots of shitty isekais ligh novels and comics. Only the most popular ones get an anime or are hosted in webs like webtoons where they get income if they have enought views. The rest get lost in the sea of trash.

Shield hero does it the worst as far as mainstream goes. The slaver explicitly states that business is booming because of the mc. Like, wut? Edit: I should clarify that I think that shield boy is bad for perpetuating the system. I feel like some people didn't get that.

@@Momolulu1994 yeah in the novel when you can read his inner thoughts you can see how destroyed he was. he wasnt in a good mental state for a long time.

@@TryingIGuess I think people really missed the point of the Shield Hero slave thing, and it's weird for me to point it out because I'm not really a fan of the anime. Naofumi was ostracized by society from the beginning. No one was gonna help him and he was rejected by his fellow heroes, so buying Raphtalia was really his only option to survive his battles. While this may make Naofumi look sympathetic in buying her, he is not really supposed to be seen as a hero doing that. He is doing something wrong and is full of hate against the people of that world. While he may treat Raphtalia nicely, he doesn't really trust her, and he believes if she wasn't his slave, she would betray him like everyone else. I believe the anime didn't want to paint him as a hero or a villain, just as someone having a hard time and doing questionable stuff. It drops the ball in later episodes, but the idea was solid for me. Sorry 4 the wall of text.

He does that in every video

It's because he knows the truth... "Ideas are a dime a dozen because nobody actually sits down and makes new things..." - Jonathan Blow It's obviously an exaggeration, but with all the humans in the world right now, it's pretty crazy how rare it is for someone to sit down and even do a complete attempt at making something. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJmFpceo06fZY6M.html

Truck-kun has to make ends meet somehow

@Max Powers I don’t know if that’s true but I don’t watch enough isekai to disprove it

Imagine giving up on your own life just because someone helped you.

@@jokafaire215 The problem here is that you're assuming the slaves *have* a life. They don't. Most slaves in isekai have no living family or friends and no home to return to, were captured as children and raised and conditioned to be slaves. They literally have no idea how to be independent. Where isekai fails is not the slave choosing the stay with the protagonist, even if set free they would have no money and may have to steal to get by, which would likely result in them being arrested and possibly enslaved again if that's how the world deals with petty criminals, or otherwise find legitimate employment which they can do with the protagonist, making leaving less efficient than staying. Staying with someone who can at least provide for them and possibly pay for their services is the safest and most effective option. No, where isekai fails is that they don't explore the long term effects their enslavement had and *why* they would stay.

@@stevenhiggins3055 this

I think Raphtalia's relationship with Naofumi executes this trope the best, though whatever points in this video Shield Hero doesn't subvert Shield Hero executes well.

Wouldn't them being an otaku give him slight genre awareness? Like he'd be able to guess the general plot of this new world's history. There was a good god and bad god. The good one did good things + is our state mandated religion and the bad one did bad things (also their people are genetically evil so don't worry) and they lived in harmony even though we have almost everything. But one day the bad one did a REAL bad thing, probably screwed with a mc'guffin, and messed up da world. They might come back idk also someone with your background is supposed to solve every problem :) This could also make him anxious and paranoid. They "know" from countless animes that being abducted by a god means there's a hellish journey awaiting you. Every friend made will die or leave you for dead, any lover's will either backstab you for power or also die, Dealing with royalty sucks, taxes, etc. The "special lil boy" power(s) will destroy any difficulty and probably leave them feeling empty. The magic system might be so generic that he'll be annoyed the entire time, like: fire: damage Water: healing earth: Defense/non-organic matter manipulation Air: movement or wind-blades Light: bull dark: shit The last two just being a random collection of spells with no connection to eachother

You kinda just described Jobless isekai except he dies before he atarts that journey irl and decodes to do that after being reborn in Isekailand. Self depreciation is still abound and plenty of times he feels his efforts are pointless.

replace self-awareness with burning self-hatred and you've basically got Re;Zero lmao

Absolutely not. I do not want a protagonist to acknowledge he's in an isekai. The self awareness thing is proof that it's overdone. Just because you acknowledge something doesn't give you the green light to do it.

“Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar” has the protagonist buy a slave. Apparently to save her from being bought by someone worse.

@@bificommander reverse isekai sounds pretty interesting to be honest.

@@bificommander Carriages and cars are portals apparently. Nice idea though. So everytime the protag wants to go back to each world, he just throw himself to the streets

@@SorowFame While not by name, it was pretty popular for cheap live-action movies. You could establish your fantasy hero and his world for 15 minutes, then set the rest of the movie in the modern world, which was way cheaper to shoot. But yeah, a parody of specifically isekai trends in reverse would be fun. As a setup: A teenager ridiculed by his peers because his magicial ability is weaker than everyone else's finds himself in our world, where no one but him has any magic. (It may have been done before.)

@@SorowFame There's this anime about a Demon Lord being transported to our world and working on McDonald's

Or you know, actually have the protagonist have a brain, and consider his options: Maybe he has to give up on truly ending slavery, because slavery is too ingrained and beneficial to the current regime, and the protagonist would be too weak to actually conduct change on such a large scale. The best he could do on moral grounds is do what little he can to abstain from it, because abolitionism is easy without the simultaneous invention of the enlightenment. You know, like stopping the Barbary slave trade, required massive diplomatic pressure, a similarly powerful navy AND two WARS with DIRECT OCCUPATION by a foreign power to stop. But that would mean the protagonist is too weak, and we can't have that in an isekai!

@@flyerton9958 To be fair, slavery shouldn't exist in isekai in general due to the presence of magic. Shit for a majority of them, the slaves aren't for manual work, instead they're there for sexual activities or to make the protagonist look "heroic" by buying them. See this what drives me up the wall when it comes to isekai, they don't know how medieval societies function let alone the reason why slavery was rampant in the medieval to colonial era.

@@omarabe26 fax. Slavery literally existed just for manual labour without costs. But in a world of magic where you can just magically create things what good are slaves? Unless they have magic power I would think that slaves are very useless lol

@@omarabe26 The thing is, most slavery in fantasy is magic based, and is still used for manual labor reasons or simply to have absolute power over one’s servants. The fact that kind of magic isn’t abused more than it’s shown to tends to be the less believable part.

​@@nevermore7285 Why would it be magic based, though? What are the slaves going to do if you're going to waste that much time binding them with magic? If they're pleasure slaves, ok maybe, but if they're just there for "absolute power over one's servants" then at least have them do something useful like a bodyguard or some shit. But every time I see slaves in isekai they're always in these shit conditions and are treated like commodities despite being expensive. Eh, whatver, I shouldn't expect anything endearing from Isekai let alone JRPG fantasy (unless it's final fantasy or granblue).

Welp, we're getting just that with the upcoming Suicide Squad Isekai.

you mean practically every isekai

Sounds like any isekai since any protagonist has some mental problem hidden in their personality like how after they kill someone they don't think how wrong it is even if the law isn't doing anything to them

A couple isekais use the trope of the princess seducing the MC, iirc. But I don't remember it actually being fleshed out, nor do I remember one where the princess' treachery isn't revealed in literally the first chapter.

I remember this concept was breifly mentioned in Shield Hero.

This is actually a fairly big aspect of World's End Harem (not technically an isekai, but similar in some ways), but that anime is, kinda unfortunately, basically "an interesting premise that somebody had to ruin by trying to make it into porn instead"..

@@phemelomakwela8057 own your trash taste, my guy. There's a billion things awful about Shield Hero, but I enjoyed it regardless.

@@phemelomakwela8057 I gotta be real, the anime skips over a lot of the real important world and character building in the light novel or even the manga- which is understandable since budget issues and time constraints and all that jazz- so it ends up being a mediocre at best. If you haven't already, try reading the manga or LN.

Wow what did he does? He passed the salt

Haha you are talking about Iruma aren’t you? Man I love that anime. It is just so hilarious knowing how Ameri’s family are basically Otakus for humans. Her father definitely “read” all those manga based on those fantasies (or should I say nightmares) he has of Ameri and Iruma getting together.

Iruma and Urano are...actually fun characters! One has comedy in the actual conflict of values/life conditions, and the other has the click of magic being harmful for you and the mc actually trying to be a good person by helping orphen from starvation and help advance the world.

You’ve put the image of Iruma’s parents selling him to one direction for cash instead of to a demon and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry because that’s ENTIRELY in character for them lmao

At least with ascendence of a bookworm that one is actually well written. I've read enough isaki stuff that I'll typically know if it's decent by the first chapter.

This sounds like a Scott Pilgrim vs The World fan-fiction, like it would be called : "Scott Pilgrim vs another World" or something.

prob not entirely fitting this description, but my first thought was ichiban from yakuza: like a dragon

That's actually a really cool idea, Rising of the Shield Hero kind of delved into this when the Naofumi sees his powers like they are the UI in an RPG.

Not an isekai, but Solo Leveling did that lmao. When the MC posted on a forum about what was happening to him, curious if someone else happens to have the same condition, everyone just told him he's deluded and unqualified as a hunter XD

Detective Conan basically causing a murder scene everywhere he go.

@LTNetjak genuinely nice to see someone calling out Japan's police corruption here on this anime video! And with a source cited, too? *I do a chef kiss with my mouth*

This is the most at-large overused joke

You say serial killer, I say hero we didn't know we needed.

there's 2 cellphone isekais nows where the mcs actually use it to their advantage. Mostly checking wikipedia articles to learn how to do agriculture and how to wage a war

You don't know how much I want to watch a premise like this XD It adds a lot more stakes to the story by having the protagonist wait for a video he needs or learn through the videos in the moment. It feels somewhat relatable to modern days where a lot of people look to youtube to learn certain skills they need. Would add some comedic value if the protagonist watches video while everyone else is being decimated by a powerful foe yet the video is buffering further delaying him.

Cops? You really are Overreacting.

They're harmless as long as they stay in their room and never leave

It's because the social skill dropped so low they can't imagine the character (representing themself) form a bond with a character who isn't litteraly enchained. They are not became psychopath. They just became so unconfident they think the only friends thhey could have are slave.

You do know being a slave is more than a title, right? If the "Slave" is treated right and giving freedom in spite of being a "Slave", can you truly say they are a "Slave"? In fact, does the MC have to go into a big sentimental speech about how the slave is freed from the character not to be considered a slave? That seems kind of silly, and the hang up seems to be with you.

Slavery is not that different from keeping pets, especially if that is cat girl slave and releasing your pet to the wild is not always that good idea. they are free to roam around as they wish anyway and do whatever they want

@@seekerofalice9787 It being aceptable in their culture doesn't make it morally or biologically right.

@@gael.7593 biologically it actually isn't that bad so long as the blood doesn't get too thick. You don't see recessive genes really popping up until several generations of inbreeding occur, so as long as cousins don't repeatedly have kids across several generations it isn't a problem. Siblings on the other hand is far more problematic genetically speaking. As for the moral aspect, that is relative to the culture. In the US, we see cousin romance and squick a bit, but for other cultures, it is acceptable. As such, I really don't consider it an issue from Japanese media due to the cultural differences and the lack of actual harm done. I have my issues with Japanese culture, but that isn't really one to sweat over too much IMO. I'd focus more on gender rights, work culture, and the absurd expectations placed on children that lead to real psychological harm over something like this.
