English Dub Review: The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat “Rites of Choice”

Overview

With the success of his cosmetics brand Orna, by acquiring financial power and the Balor Trading Company’s information network, Lugh has gained even greater strength as an assassin. However, since being reincarnated in this world, Lugh still has not completed a proper assassination. Then, Lugh’s father Cian tells him that he doesn’t have to become an assassin…


Our Take

This particular storyline has finally come to an end. I expected it to be a bit longer but they might be able to put the good stuff in this season. The mother really sniffed the fuck out of her own son after he came back home which gives off some weird & comical Milf vibes, while Lugh later has a serious conversation with his father which ended up with Lugh telling him one of his many motivations behind keeping his Tuatha Dé assassin status, along with its importance behind it. Only this time he is doing it because he has to, rather than blindly follow orders which got him killed in his previous life.

When I saw the first episode, I thought Lugh’s dad would be very despicable and uncompromising. Thankfully, he’s just the opposite, a very decent and fair individual, who cares about his family and doesn’t force anything on anyone who matters to him. We also got more of Maha’s backstory and her drive to reclaim her father’s first store.

Overall, two years went really fast yet the pacing is ok. The next episode will probably already start focusing on the main theme of the anime, which I imagine is the murders, and I think maybe Lugh can find out who the supposed “Great Hero” actually is. Also, It seems that the writer wants to make Lugh an all-knowing, hyper-capable badass yet he somehow can’t understand the concept of love, In retrospect, they should’ve made Tarte disagree with him there and explain why his perception of Maha’s feelings is wrong. Love can flourish from all kinds of scenarios, getting your life saved from someone is one of them. It remains to be seen if we’ll see Maha again in the future, but I look forward to seeing what happens next.
