Description

Personality

Kouki Amanogawa initially presents as the ideal hero: kind, just, and handsome. However, this facade hides a deeply flawed personality shaped by a sheltered upbringing and unwavering belief in his own righteousness. His simplistic view of good and evil, stemming from his grandfather's teachings, renders him incapable of understanding the complexities of the world, leading to arrogance, ignorance, and delusion. He struggles to accept failure, often blaming others for his mistakes and acting childishly when things don't go his way. His self-righteousness is further fueled by his status as the summoned Hero, blinding him to the manipulative nature of the god Ehit and the true horrors of the war he's involved in. Kouki's journey is one of self-discovery and painful growth. He faces numerous setbacks, including near-death experiences and betrayals from those he trusted, forcing him to confront his flaws. His unwavering belief in his own righteousness is shattered, leading to a period of intense self-doubt and even a descent into darkness under Eri's influence. However, through the harsh realities of his experiences and the unwavering support of his friends, particularly Shizuku, he ultimately overcomes his flaws, accepting responsibility for his actions and striving to become a true hero. His development is marked by a shift from self-serving righteousness to genuine compassion and a willingness to confront the harsh realities of his world.
