[discussion] Subaru is actually really strong for what he is.

I'm a very new fan only on episode 5 of the Season 1 Director's cut.

When I asked some people before in a Discord whether I should check this one out a lot of people said Subaru is an extremely weak protagonist who is totally useless.

But for just a regular guy in a fantasy world he actually does pretty well.

For example during one of his lives/runs through the initial city he was able to totally dumpster the 3 thugs in the alley before that one guy could even pull his knife.

He fights off Elsa pretty decently until Reinhardt comes and saves him.

When he encounters the mabeast dogs in the forest, he easily kills one of them right off the bat.

And this is despite zero training.

Tbh he may not be like Ainz level OP for an Isekai protagonist but he's definitely not useless. I think he's done better than a huge amount of regular people thrown into that world would do.
