English Dub Review: How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom “To Fight and Conquer in All Our Battles Is Not Supreme Excellence”

Overview:

Jeanne Euphoria of the Gran Chaos Empire is sent to Van to deal with the occupation. Roroa observes the newfound freedom of the citizens of Van. Poncho locates a source of food for the impoverished citizens…

Our Take:

It’s a good thing there is a second part to this or else this episode would be vastly more disappointing. But since part two is airing now and I am sure the dub is around the corner that isn’t the case. With King Souma’s victory there comes a lot of good and potentially some hardships as well.

This was all set up for the next arc where Souma will have to negotiate with the Gran Chaos Empire. I am not a huge fan of the obvious harem in the making we’ve been getting. Souma just doesn’t seem the type but I think when all is said and done he will literally be with everyone. It is what it is though and I guess you can’t blame the guy. But the politics and just the way even minor things are shown to make a huge difference is really refreshing. I think that is what sets Realist Hero apart from its contemporaries.
