Not a violent heroine, but a turnabout heroine
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Starting with her signature drop kick, Evil God-chan is always violent.
Although she has a mission to “return to the demon world” to Yurine, she often lashes out at weaker opponents such as the lower class demon Ice, who is also unreasonable.
If this is the only aspect of her character that can be ignored, she is a violent heroine who has become a hot topic in recent years, and this may have a negative impact on her popularity.
However, since she always gets what she deserves, she is rarely looked upon in a bad light, even though she may be pitied or told that she had it coming.
She’s more of a return heroine than a violent heroine.
Moreover, she has the ability to regenerate herself, and she gets tragically beaten up by her mosaic, so it’s a gag.
The reason why violent heroines are shunned is basically because they inflict unreasonable violence and yet receive nothing in return.
Conversely, if you have a good reason for doing so, and if you have a background or a setting that puts you at risk of becoming a victim, you won’t be lumped in with violent heroines.
It’s not the violent heroine that’s bad, it’s the cheap character setting.
Evil God-chan is the one who teaches us such important things.
The soil in which “actually good girls” are readily accepted
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Usually, the evil god-chan is a first-class scum who spends his dinner money on slingshots.
He’s a demon and an evil god, so it’s only natural.
But even so, he is a good boy at heart, and when Yurine falls ill, he nurses her desperately, and occasionally shows kindness to Peco and others who are usually bullied by him.
Normally, this kind of behavior is not well liked by the people of the internet, because they think it’s a beautiful story when a delinquent does something good once in a while.
In fact, tsundere used to be very popular in the past, but nowadays, it seems like the good kids are usually better received.
Nevertheless, Evil God-chan’s “actually a good girl” character is still accepted because Evil God-chan usually shows enough to convince people of that.
Evil God-chan never hesitates to pull the trigger of his gun on Yurine, and he never goes along with the plan, but really tries to kill her.
At the same time, when Yurine returns to her parents’ house after leaving a letter, she is seriously depressed that she may have been abandoned.
At first glance, it seems terribly contradictory, and it’s almost tempting to read too deeply into the idea that she has a unique value system that only demons can understand… but in reality, she’s just not thinking about it, and she’s probably just expressing her goal of returning to the demon world and her true feelings of enjoying being with them in the moment.
Evil God-chan is that kind of character.
Evil God-chan is basically a double-faced character, and her embarrassment and fornication are so easy to see through to the people around her.
Since we see her in every episode, it seems that her occasional good deeds and her reputation as a “good girl” are easily accepted by Medusa and the others as one of her aspects.
Summary
The second season of “Evil God-chan Dropkick” was made possible by the support of enthusiastic fans, but even after the broadcast ended, there were comments from various places that “Evil God-chan was fun” and it was highly rated by everyday anime fans.
The reason for this reputation is probably because of the existence of Evil God-chan.
There are a lot of daily life anime that are full of good kids, but the type of character that Evil God-chan has is refreshing, and most importantly, she is a character that is hard to hate no matter how many bad things she does, so it is understandable why people like her.
I’m sure they’re going to show off their grandiose get-together in the second season, so I’m looking forward to it!
