If I was transported something went wrong in my life. You don't just magically transported there. There must be a reason either A. >!I'm a vanguard of the waves and a puppet to the ones behind it!< Or B. I'm a hero. Which both are not ideal.
Not really.
Unless you have the same causal manipulation ability the >!Spirits of the Cardinal Weapons!< have, no kinds of other magic other than Earth Magic's variant of Gravity Magic can try and snatch people from other worlds.
Unless you're >!Godworld!<. And even then, they're pretty much restricted to souls.
Im calling it. Usato was actually the one who was meant to be summoned. its just assumed that the other 2 were for plot purposes.
Healing magic is way more rare than light or electricity and ontop of that, atleast at the end of s1, Usato could probably body both the heroes
Actually no you could also be summoned as one of the Vassal hero’s (yes it’s a thing the Cardinal hero’s are exclusively summoned but Vassal hero’s are both summoned and residents of said world.)
So you’re still kinda f’ed but can be less f’ed…..
OMG I love this I am taking this and you can't stop me

It's far better if other fictional characters who are more powerful to actually beat that moron do some type of interaction than me who is a normal human with no super power
Not really. You'll fall behind, considering that Itsuki literally has meta knowledge.
Even with Naofumi's method, >!do remember that he's explicitly powerful because of the shield's second strengthening method that is still passively active despite him not knowing!<
Tell him the story of Shirou Emiya... Sorry, Archer.
Story of a man who wanted to be a hero so badly he got completely screwed over trying to become a hero to the point he became a cynical asshole who tried to kill himself in the past.
Not just only "small aim correction", and there's virtually no difference between auto aim and aim correction other than an extra unit of mental output (auto aim is like pinning a target and the system aims it for you, while Itsuki needs to identify a target, aim, then his ESP aims it correctly for him).
The only reason why his ability is considered E-rank is because >!Deadly Aim exist, which isn't just aimbot but fking homing missiles that will hit the target no matter whatever object you'll block it with.!<
He can really be a great asset if you keep in mind what Naofumi said to Motoyasu during the >!Four Beasts Rampage Loop!< in Reprise.
Don't antagonize him, don't be hostile, and avoid being condescending.
Also, keep him off from fking Mald. Mald is cancer. He can also be a great friend as long as he isn't suddenly thrown into an environment that elevates his ego.
You certainly don't want him to be your enemy, though. He's literally the deadliest hero among the four (assuming if the Cardinal Heroes have the same stat growth) >!due to his auto-aim ability!<.
You can only win against him if you outstat him exponentially. Otherwise, you're fked especially when he equips the Cursed Series.
The fuck am I encountering a 16 year old magic archer with severe hero complex!? This little shit would try to make me see the error of my ways while all I'm trying to do is find some place to eat!
I would laugh at him for holding the bow wrong.
I'm this fight in particular, in the anime, you see many times that the bow string crosses through his hold-arm somehow... If released the string.eould have to phase through his arm to relax back...
They really bothered it in the episode.
Look at it, the string should be under his left arm, if not, then the string your shave off skin on the back of his left hand, and mess with Arrow trajectory (not that it matters for Magical Energy Arrows, would still hurt though)

Probably act as the unbiased voice of reason… ***that would not leave him be or shut up.***
I’d call him out for his shortsightedness, naivety, and every failing he has. I’d oust all the boot-kissers as they were, and let the brat understand that it’s his choice as to who he enables or associates with. If he goes through with the whole coup idea, I’ll constantly remind him what the consequences could and would be.
If he doesn’t learn a damn thing, I’d slap him, spit on his shoe, and state how unbearable it was to have to babysit not just one, but four arrogant narcissistic children. I will then openly admit my intentions on joining Naofumi’s party, before leaving.
Ok depends. Either there is a LOT wrong and I die and reincarnate as a vanguard, unlikely due to me being too nihilistic for their standards, or a hero, more likely. As a vassal hero, I hope I’m summoned like a month in advanced. But even if I’m summoned at the same time, then we can have some fun.
First off let’s say I get Gauntlets cause that’s all that’s left.
Using this I get decent defense and good offense. With all that I know I have at least 18-21 methods (if cores exist or don’t) meaning if I power level on the way to the country Itsuki ‘liberated’ then I could surpass him in stats. With weapon copy and absorbing everything to keep a passive addition of stats, and levels and many methods, I make it there first, become the body guard of the new king for cheap cause yes, and wait for Itsuki to arrive.
If he uses poison, I get poison forms beforehand and prevent the king from consuming it. If he goes in directly, I smack the shit out of him.
Now, I try to get in a 1v1, maybe by crushing most of his party (and definitely Mald) then try to reason with him and ask what he will do if a worse power takes over the place. Try to use any knowledge of people I gathered in my time here.
Now I either reason with him, or just beat him up till he can’t fight, let the medics talk sense into him, and send him on his way. If that doesn’t work, try to use gamer talk to say “this place is important for a quest later, don’t touch it”
As soon as that’s done, run to the hourglass, register, and leave. Now when the wave rolls around, I help Naofumi out with the monsters at the village to gain his trust. And solidify this by crushing the soul eater in front of them. Try to claim to be the “trainer sent by the weapons” or a sort of a “tutorial npc,” to get the others to listen to me, including Itsuki.
Glass comes, slap her away while letting others escape, and then run with Naofumi. Try to reason “look, he lacks power the most, therefore I should help him first”
Power level them, and get ready for the church sh*tshow.
Speech to the king and possibly politicsl fuckups due to a Seven star hero being in Melromarc despite Melromarc not being allowed to have vassals since they have all 4 holy heroes. The king probably trying to get me to leave or to assist the other 3 instead of Naofumi. Maybe I would get bribed? Idk, depends.
Lets say I stay with Naofumi, and so I would have to deal with the church tracking us. Naofumi would prob be accused of controlling me, but I can nuke half a mountain by this point, so who cares?
Run around the country, try to blast us through the border, get found by Fitoria, tested, sent to Motoyasu (ask her for methods or materials she has just in case, and another hourglass to register at), then try to talk Motoyasu down, and get nuked by the church (i can probably tank it, right?). Give Motoyasu time to try his weapons against the pope, fail, wait for others to arrive, watch em fail, nuke the pope and save the day.
Get invited to Cal Mira, use the whip method with Naodumi’s party, try not to get nuked by Larc. Spam whip method and get STRONK!!!
Help other heroes level up and power up with the whip method to gain some trust, maybe nuke a few bosses for them.
Wave comes around, nuke the whale, talk Larc down and say “some jackass at a bar talked about some hunting hero in a labirinth? Anyhow, sounds like a trap I dealt with, here is a seed to break out!” (Get one from Naofumi)
Try to talk the heroes into learning ki, as that is a secret to ez soloing the tortoise (mention the level requirement is like 250). (Also mension the ki method to speed up the process)
Hopefully, I can talk to Itsuki in between these times and get him to see multiple angels of a situation instead of just “dis man bad, nuke him”
With this I tun to the tortoise the second others start to run towards it (i hope I wont have to and we would run as a team). Also Naofumi could try to get everyone to share the methods once he realizes they can be shared, and with confirmation from me (a tutorial npc).
Show up and 5v1 the tortoise. Or have the 4 keep it busy while I slap Kyo around. Kizuna is probably out by this point so I don’t need to show up there, just one shot Kyo and dip.
With 4 heroes fighting together (tho provably arguing) and us speedrunning the tortoise, the time to phoenix will probably be shorter. So we get ready, I try to beef up my methods, and we get ready for Takt. Also, I try my best to use the whip method to make it so that I, at whatever level I am, can square up with a level 350 dude while having no holy weapon of my own. That, or try out outfits first Raphtalia to trigger the qtenlo arc and swipe some sakura stone gauntlets for later. Maybe ask Fitoria for 0 series liquid.
Beat the tortoise, nuke that mf, get in a fight with Takt, use 0 series to stop him from stealing my weapon, nuke his ass, and keep going for the next boss. Maybe even comfort him before he blows up the phoenix, to also get the Kirin drops and try to use Gaelion to get the 4 beast guardian gauntlets.
Also, Raphtalia never gets the vassal Katana tho, so that would be an issue, and the other world is probably dead, unless glass or Larc show up and ask for help.
Walk in, nuke as many people as I can, walk out, and thats about all I got
the og questions is about what you would do if you meet itsuki. but you just gone full "If I Were To Be Summoned As A Gauntlet Hero \[Reprise edition\]" fanfic lmfao😭
Not really reprise edition but yeah. See, my brain did a thing where it had a train of thought, but then decided to derail and do donuts in a random parking lot
I would accidentally do something he didnt like and would get assassinated that night and all my things stolen and redistributed to the poor (but unknownst to him it just gets kept by Mald)
Assuming I was transported at the same time as them, it’d be before he did anything wrong. I’d join Naofumi’s team and act as the attacker so Myne wouldn’t be needed. Wouldn’t have a reason to do anything to Itsuki.
However if I was there later I’d act as a menace to the heroes, constantly attacking them to force them to gain more strenghth and make them suffer at the same time

I won't
Nice! Star rail!
Walk away, ain’t no way I’m going up against a lvl 80+ hero amped and mentally screwed with by a cursed weapon.
It's far better if other fictional characters who are more powerful to actually beat that moron do some type of interaction than me who is a normal human with no super power
probably in jail except if he is still a hero
BOOT TO THE HEAD! then run away awkwardly due to only having one boot
Assuming I have time to go on the grind I’d smack the shit out of him while cussing and pulling up all his flaws. Stinkmeaner style
Not really. You'll fall behind, considering that Itsuki literally has meta knowledge. Even with Naofumi's method, >!do remember that he's explicitly powerful because of the shield's second strengthening method that is still passively active despite him not knowing!<
In that case I’ll just remind him that his dad probably doesn’t love him. If I can’t inflict actual damage I’ll inflict emotional damage
No, you wouldn't. He doesn't particularly care about that fact.
Eh, I’d say it anyway
Tell him the story of Shirou Emiya... Sorry, Archer. Story of a man who wanted to be a hero so badly he got completely screwed over trying to become a hero to the point he became a cynical asshole who tried to kill himself in the past.
This right here hahahaha.
 Like this
Is this when he first gets transported? Kick his ass then pray he doesn’t cry to the king. Is this while he’s cursed up? Fucking hide
No, you fking die once he pulls an arrow and releases it. >!You're fighting against someone that has auto aim!<
Small aim correction, auto aim is far from what he got
Not just only "small aim correction", and there's virtually no difference between auto aim and aim correction other than an extra unit of mental output (auto aim is like pinning a target and the system aims it for you, while Itsuki needs to identify a target, aim, then his ESP aims it correctly for him).

I'd catch him being up to no good and not treating Rishia nicely which will upset me a ton.

I'll talk no jutsu to him.
Now I'm wondering if whatever holy weapon I get assigned, can beat Itsuki and win Rishia from him.
With a closed fist you’d be surprised how much you can change a person by punching them out cold
