In the anime, is his role as a tamer the best part of the show?
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Ryoma decides to work with the Duke of Jamil and his party, and leaves the Gana Forest to go with them to the mining town of Gimple.
There is a tamer’s guild there, and Ryoma registers with the guild and begins his life as a tamer.
Although the title doesn’t have “tamer” in it, this is a story with a tamer as the main character.
In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of stories with Tamer as the main character or in the title on Novelist Naro U, the home of the man who was found by the gods.
As of September 2020, there are 582 works with “Tamer” in the title or keywords, and 154 of them started serialization in 2020.
In addition, there are many works that have been turned into books, such as “Beast Tamer, Expelled from the Brave Party, Meets the Strongest Cat Ear Girl,” “The Delayed Tamer’s Daily Life,” “Monster Master,” “Expelled Baggage Tamer Awakens as the World’s Only Necromancer: Enjoying Freedom with Her Abundant Power, and Before You Know It, She’s the Strongest. There is a bit of a tamer boom in the Naro’u world.
Although “The Man Who Was Picked Up by the Gods” does not include the word “tamer” in its keywords, there is no doubt that this work has contributed to the current tamer boom.
Ryouma is one of the people who popularized the profession of Tamer in the Naro’u world.
His abilities as a tamer are quite unique.
His followers are limited to slimes, but he has used thousands of slimes.
The slimes have evolved into various kinds of slimes, such as Acid Slime, Scavenger Slime, Cleaner Slime, Poison Slime, Sticky Slime, and Heal Slime, each with different properties and power-ups when combined.
Using these slimes, you will work as a slow-living tamer who supports your daily life by cleaning up the area to prevent plague outbreaks, and then opening a laundry shop.
On the other hand, as the story progresses, he begins to search for a way to utilize the slimes in battle.
Thanks to the power given to him by the gods, he has a high level of combat ability, and he blossoms into a combat tamer who actively fights while using slimes.
In addition, as a healer tamer, he was able to save many of his fellow players by enabling the heal slime to use intermediate recovery magic.
Most of Ryouma’s appearances are as a tamer.
As a middle-aged man, Ryouma does not try to be active in love at all, and although he seems to have a liking for Reinhardt’s daughter Eriaria, there is no significant progress, at least in the beginning.
Therefore, to the extent that it is animated, the tamer part will be the most focused.
Summary
Many people think of games such as Dracula 5 and Pokemon when they think of “protagonists who use monsters”.
Due in part to the influence of these games, Naro’u has produced many works featuring tamers as protagonists, and “The Man Who Was Picked Up by the Gods” is one of the most popular of these.
For this reason, this work stands out for its protagonist, Ryouma.
Although tamer is already a popular profession in games and Naro-kei, it is not yet that mainstream in anime, so whether it will become popular among anime fans depends on Ryouma’s activities.
There are many famous works in which the main character is reincarnated as a slime, but I don’t think there is any other anime in which the main character uses a slime to play an active role, so expectations are high!
