English Dub Review: How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom “A Man without Learning Is Unwise; a Man without Wisdom Is a Fool”

Overview:

An unusual Friedonian slave trader named Ginger Camus gave his slaves clean clothes and enough to eat, as well as providing them with an education, little knowing that this would eventually end up rocking the kingdom.

Our Take:

This episode was mostly Souma free. I had a feeling that the slave trader Ginger would become involved in one of Souma’s plans eventually since he was getting all of the focus. Souma was wanting people who knew how to read and write and it just so happens that Ginger was teaching his slaves just that.

Souma was taking what he knew about our own world and knowing that outright abolishing slavery could cause a war. He’s trying a different way and it seems like that might work. It was also nice to see that there was some romance that didn’t have to involve Souma. This episode was mostly setting up what comes next I imagine so we will see what happens when Souma implements his latest plan.
