And when Kanami does finally show up again, she resolves the current struggle Shiroe has by simply saying "THIS is what I want", and giving him enough input to crystallize his strategy. Kanami wants to move to Europe and have a kid? She switches tracks and does that, completely turning her life around.
Kanami wants to clear the hardest raid? She's not joining established groups she's getting people together and going. In the show, Kanami is initially mostly defined by her absence - but even that absence itself is defined by the way in which she determines goals and Charges, easily leading people in a distinctly Lion way. When he started out, he joined an informal group, which avoided ranks and distinctions - and which also had the Double Lion Kanami as its leader. Before the show's official beginning, Shiroe's a loner who has few real friends and is generally wary of organized groups. He also has a few, mostly Badger-related, hangups about the methods available to him. When left with no input, he flounders - until he can get that input.
He's much better at executing than at goal-setting, at least until he's seen the situation. By being in a support position, he is ideally placed to have a Bird's eye view of the battlefield.Īt the same time, Shiroe has a hard time identifying his own goals. Shiroe is quick to observe patterns and is able to hold an insane amount of variables in his head, keeping up with the status effects of a 24-man raid on the fly at the same time as calculating boss mechanics. The reason Shiroe chose that class was that he identified that he had a problem with trusting others and decided to learn how to do that by putting himself in a position where he'd have to rely on others to succeed, and also in a position where he'd have to squeeze out every last advantage to win.Īnd succeed he does-but not only through direct contribution, but through strategy. The class he chose, Enchanter, is magically weak, and shines when others take advantage of its abilities. He's the rare main character who is essentially a support. Shiroe is the point of view character for most of Log Horizon. But really, let's get into some more details.
