Could've done that day one and we wouldn't have to have all this jazz. Don't wanna be sad? This is a case where 'just don't be sad bro' works. AND IT JUST WORKS! Centuries of existence and, at some point, his 'thought masking' was disabled so he developed an ego and this was the first time this possibility was ever considered. he's told to 'just disable' his programming that repeats the protection of humanity order. He resists relationships and trust in an attempt to finally end his life when. It also serves as the foundation of Leo's rebirth as he quits being a hero and joins the demon army in true formula form. A quick aside: the best episode of Heroing is still not that good. It's a discussion with a demon on co-existence, it sets up a reason for him to find Echidna compelling and a good leader as she reminds him of Eibrad.

Easily the best episode is an exploration of that during Leo's original fight against the demon army. Leo is ACTUALLY a human scientific experiment, the last of a line of artificial human defenders, designed to uphold harmony. The 'inversions' that I'm speaking of is that this is supposed to be our modern world 3000 years in the future. My analogy may only wring true for myself, but personally, I found I'm Quitting Heroing to be a slog that had a by-the-numbers beginning & end as well as some supposed inversions of the genre that couldn't save it. The want to surprise and stun the audience is there, the passengers may even gasp once and a while and go 'I didn't expect that', but when the carts finally stop working halfway through, everyone will remember it more as a hassle than as the experience itself. I'm Quitting Heroing is a sub-par fantasy show that continues to bore despite throwing viewers on a makeshift rollercoaster. The little things and the big things, you can reconcile with those demons later and soften the blow, but they always exist. As you rack up years and that number since your birth continues to tick upwards linearly, more and more events get stored into your brain as something that could've gone better. I have a few regrets in life, I think we all do. the following is a brief paragraph or two on my overall thoughts, followed by spoilers about how twists can't always save a show and/or change their predictability. Above all else, however, Leo wants to accomplish one goal: to learn why Echidna started the war in the first place. Donning the identity of a masked dark knight named Onyx, Leo solves the demon army's problems one by one-gradually improving the quality of life around the castle.

Still, not all hope is lost, as Leo manages to convince Echidna's four generals to let him secretly work under their supervision. Naturally, Echidna immediately rejects him.

Hoping that demonkind might accept him as an ally, he returns to the demon queen's castle and offers Echidna his help. But instead of gratitude or admiration, Leo is met with disdain and scorn from his fellow humans, who fear his overwhelming strength and believe that it may eventually cause humanity's demise.īanished from the kingdom he once called home, Leo wanders aimlessly throughout the land until, one day, he hears rumors of Echidna's efforts to rebuild her army. Blessed with insurmountable power, Leo easily repels Echidna's army, thereby saving the world. When Demon Queen Echidna begins her invasion of the human realm, the people turn to the hero Leo Demonheart to protect them.
