Someone explain to me why, Fafnir, aka the best character in

>>156625753
>it would have been more interesting if Kobayashi ended up becoming a magical girl
??????

Better yet, why was Elma introduced so late and why didn't they do anything fun with the rivalry between her and Tooru?

Fafnir was good because he was used sparingly.

>>156626645
That's just how it goes, Elma wasn't introduced early in the manga

When did edgy moe boys become a thing?

Hmm I wonder

>>156625753
Turn him into a girl and we got best girl

>>156625753
He's male.

>>156625753
Why did they have to turn him into a NEET?
I like it more when he was edgy.

Best and strongest, you say? Why not try winning a simple arm wrestling match before you make such assumptions?

>>156627526
What, you'd prefer we went to work, which would be completely against his character?

>>156627526
Dragons are the original NEETs. He was being true to his nature.

>>156627526
It's related to the norse myth of Fafnir beeing shut in a cave

>>156625753
he remind of lucifer

>>156627526
>be nearly immortal
>spend who knows how long laying on your treasure
>occasionally incinerate some looters
>go to human world to check on Tohru
>foolish human hands you some thing that works a human on the magic box
>realize it's lots of fun
>find something fun to do while you never leave the house

>>156627526
>implying he stopped being edgy

What else was he gonna do? You really think someone who has an attitude like his could hold down a job? A job where humans tell him what to do?

Fafnir is kind of like that one character from Ping Pong the Animation: the 3rd year who is beaten out of his final tournament and then leaves on some crazy, world-wide journey only to return in one of the final episodes; watching one of the final matches; and crying in the bleachers; saying how he had missed it--that the thing from which he was running all this time is what he was missing all along.

Obviously, Fafnir's development doesn't follow in the same vein as 3rd year globetrotter, but Fafnir's development has a similar impact on the viewer: the consistent absence of Fafnir and Takiya makes seeing their antics and development all the more powerful when they do rise to the mainstage. There is power in strategically minimizing the viewers clarity of perception when presenting an image or idea. I'm not going to say that Cool is good enough of a writer to do this consistently on purpose, but Fafnir is 10/10 because--after Fafnir debuted--Cool only really showed the shut-in dragon during moments of self-development in his new home. Since it happens so quickly and it's all the viewer sees, it leaves a strong, lasting impact.

>>156625753
Fafnir, is that you?

>>156625753
Tell me this - is Elma making Faf-kun jelly over Takiya? Or was the opnening showing her and Fafnir with Takiya just some random part?
I bet he would get jelly as fuck if some other dragon got some of his treasured human attention.

>>156626740
This.

>>156628880
I think it was just random because they didn't have anywhere else to put Elma. They rarely interacted

>>156625753
He didn't have any abusable unfunny jokes that pad runtime, like Lucoa, Saikawa or Elma.

>>156629481
Shame. I was seriously thinking they would put Takiya as her programming teacher or something like that, which would start their friendship.
So both Kobayashi and Takiya would have 2 dragons each. More so with how poor Elma was, so crashing at Takiya for at least few nights made sense to me.

>Kill them
>Kill all who try to steal your treasure
>Kill all you suspect
>Kill them with curses
>Curse their generations to come-
I want to hear all he would say. Is there a complete phone call with him?

I'd assume that's the gist of it all.

>>156625753
Because he has a dick.

So does Kobayashi

STOP

don't fetishize the Elma

When did you learn how to speak English, Fafnir?

I'm not Fafnir you human trash, I'm just his biggest fan that recognizes how much better he is at everything especially video games

Girl Faf a best.

>>156625753
I'm kinda of surprised nobody bought his shit.

You'd expect at least 1 or 2 guys to curiously buy some weird curse book then it leads to becoming a cult classic

>>156634664
Nobody is interested in curse books when there's mahou shoujo in the next booth over. That's the real reason why Faf-kun wants magical girls everywhere, he imitates what he sees

>>156633785
>Fafnir's biggest fan

So it is Fafnir posting then

>ancient edgelord dragon just imitates what he sees around him

It's not enough for a stand alone series, but we really needed some Fafnir shorts

>>156635173
imagine the fallout from Fafnir discovering K-On

>>156633921
It's just in his nature to loot all the chests. Maybe he'd be better off playing a more traditional JRPG.

faf a cute

>>156627774
He was born a Dwarf. Nothing about him is natural.

Every time I touch this game for more than 30 minutes, I have to play an actually good video to flush my system.

>>156630392
Fafnir is the direct inspiration for Smaug. So here you go.

DELETE THIS

>>156626321
This could either be a reference to that episode where Fafnir re-wrote characters in a play to be magical girls, or it could just be OP being fucking retarded.

>>156642132
OP is Fafnir

He was shit.

>>156625753
He got more appearances and scenes than he did in the manga, be happy for it.

>>156645976
Bet you wouldn't say that to his face
