I know Ottar knocked her out but did she really need a breast massage to heal? Am I missing something?

If I recall, Ryu was injured the day prior when fighting with Hegni. Never got proper treatment until after they fled the city, and Ottar's attack probably reopened the wounds.

Ok now THAT makes sense. Thank you

u/jakobsheim Nov 16 '24

Yeah totally right you absolutely need to massage the tiddies in that case.

u/Extension-Net-7987 Nov 16 '24

She's applying healing ointment, but yeah... the LN illustrator is something else.

The illustrator really goes wild sometimes.

u/Prior_Bit6093 Nov 16 '24

the illustration was so wild that they decided not to put it in anime

u/GobutaTheGoat Nov 16 '24

I would love the illustration to show that someone's injuries are extreme instead of sexualizing them all the time...

Though it's still hot

Unfortunately unless they wanna bump the ratings up to seinen, accurately depicting wounds isn’t gonna work out often

Also the last thing we need is people fetishizing sliced open breasts. Because while it is realistic to happen in that medieval combat it isn’t pretty.

But last season we saw a bunch of adventurers get brutally mauled and killed by an OP dungeon monster, showing a flesh wound should not be an issue at this point.

It’s not necessarily that.

1) those wounds weren’t super focused on. A healing scene would have to at least bring narrative attention to the wounds. Quickly showing a sort of bloody stump rather than the whole intestines allows them to gloss over the reality. Meanwhile a medical scene involves discussing the fact that a character got her boob sliced open

2) they were mostly dudes, and men are the expendable gender.

3) the people being damaged weren’t main characters. You aren’t allowed to butcher and maim main characters like that.

4) boobs are sacred and untouchable. You are not allowed to distort or damage them.

“They were mostly dudes”

We literally saw Ryu’s familia get massacred, a familia made entirely of women.

I mean the large illustration of the dark elf girl in vol 19 heavily sexualizes her too, and she is like 13 or so.

Ryu here at least is 21...but then again many illustrations of under aged girls in Danmachi are like that.

u/Timmie_Is_An_Archon Nov 16 '24

Asfi confused healing with kneading

7

u/Nstorm24 Nov 17 '24

She is doing both. Remember that her chest got open with a slice, so you can imagine what else got sliced in that attack.

We were ROBBED
