I should note, I do think Escanor's moments are cool as stand alone moments. It's just that I'm unable to separate them from the greater story. When I actually get invested in something or think it's worth reading I can't just separate logic from cool on something this important. I understand everything isn't going to be to workout logically most of the time, and that's fine, but he's too important a character for me to brush off with "it doesn't have to make narrative sense".

To be fair though, a lot of people have tried justify why he's great for the story aside from hype factor and their arguments have general fell flat,  I find. So, perhaps that's just an insurmountable impass. I don't mean to be a killjoy, and I understand why people like the character and I'm fine with that. I just don't like people brushing aside what I can't help but see as general drag on the story.

But, I do have to call B.S. on the "He's so strong I'm afraid how to use him" thing. He's the one who choices how strong he is and he's the one who decided to do this, it's not like someone held a gun to his head. So that argument, like a lot of things concerning Escanor, fall flat with me.
