@Malevolent_King that's a false dilemma fallacy. To imply there are only two possible outcomes is just straight up false especially when we factor in the fact that he has this amazing power. The amount of things he could have done even without those powers is still far greater than just those two. To imply that someone at rock bottom can only kill themselves or bring others down to their level/kill others is just straight up wrong. How many times have you heard stories of people in awful situations that manage to pull themselves out. Is it easy? G** no. But does that mean falling into a somehow even worse hole is somehow preferable??? No! When faced with a disgruntled world that turns it's back on you, he as a former hero should have been able to step up. Not just through mortal means, but through the powers he has at his fingertips. Do you truly believe that he can't help people with the things he can do? When you look at the world a cynical, all you see are the cynical looking back

@Loud @Loud He didn't become a hero on his own will. He was interdimentionally kidnapped, told the only way to return home was to defeat the demon king and go to war(which doesn't leave him with any choice so it's basically forced labor), and throwing a child who was still growing up into war and forcing the child to commit multiple murders so as to fight for an unknown cause and a war had nothing to do with him does a number on your mental(mind you he's still developing so his mental state is still fragile). Then in the course of the war he witnessed his companions deaths and still moved on. To this point his mental is completely broken, the only thing holding him together is the thought of reuniting with his family and friends and going back home. And when he finally does, he has no home to return to, his parents are dead, the relatives want nothing to do with him, school expelled him, his friends left him, basically the world that he desperately wanted to go back to no longer exists, only a facade in his eyes. So he has to tear it down and bring it up to his reality so that they can see from his point of view.
