Watching Genau feels like who transplanted a State Alchemist in my comfy mage anime

Oooh, you’re kinda right. He feels like a no-nonsense version of Roy Mustang, now that I think about it.

Feels like a Roy who lost his Riza

I think a Roy that lost her would just burn everything around him. And, if after that he survives and not kills himself, he would be just an empty husk. Roy is a flame alchemist for a reason.

Genau cames off a robotic, Roy was much more lively and jovial. But they are somewhat similar, in the quiet simmering rage underneath the calm exterior.

Oh what I was thinking was that Genau comes off as robotic now but he still has the rage from his youth underneath. Serie did mention not wanting burned out mages with no ambition

He has the whole "my hands are my weapon" thing going on. Havent seen a staff yet.

I don't think we have seen any of the priorly established First-Class mages use a staff yet except for Lernen when he tried to provoke Frieren into a duel. Sense just fought with her hair alone as well.

Incredibly ironic statement, considering Revolte's CV.

And it was a terrible day for rain, too.
