A surge of discussion is ongoing among fans regarding character panel counts in the latest 4KOTA chapter updates, particularly focusing on Lancelot. The controversy lies in Lancelot's substantial lead even after a long absence from the storyline.
While Lancelot remains absent, fans are puzzled why characters like Gawain and Tristan have not surpassed him in panel count despite their appearances over the last 20 months.
One fan noted: "Lancelot has a 6-volume advantage while undercover as Sin."
Another observed, "Gawain was absent for 8 months and Tristan for 10 months."
Questions around whether Lancelot's time as Sin should count as well have emerged. Fans argue that since Lancelot has been with Percival since chapter 2, his panel inclusion makes sense.
"Does Lancelot's count include Sin's too?" questioned one follower.
Interestingly, some fans believe that this calculation method might undermine other characters' developments. One reader remarked, "Nakaba seems to have issues with its protagonists, who donโt feel like protagonists anymore."
This chaotic panel count has left many scratching their heads over how events unfold in the anime's structure. Often, characters are sidelined, which has led to comments like:
โThis has to be a joke.โ
โHow has Tristan and Gawain not surpassed Lancelot in panel count?โ
Fans remain split on feelings toward the way characters are tracked in panel counts. Some express frustration, while others defend the creative choices made by writers. Notably, a comment underscored the absence of a key antagonist:
โMain villain not on this list, so funny.โ
๐ Frustration about Lancelotโs lead remains prevalent
๐ฌ Defensive comments highlighting narrative continuity
๐ Humor shines through with mentions of absent villains
๐บ Lancelot still leads despite nearly two years of absence.
๐ป Fans question if his past panel count remains valid.
โญ โCharacters who donโt seem like protagonistsโ - leading comment.
As the community continues to share opinions, one thing is for sure: the discussions around character placements are keeping the fandom engaged. Will future chapters balance this perceived unfairness? Only time will tell.
Fans can expect a shift in character dynamics in the upcoming chapters, specifically concerning Lancelot's panel count. There's a strong chance that future arcs will showcase more balanced storytelling, focusing on character development for Gawain and Tristan. Experts estimate around a 70 percent likelihood that writers will adjust the narrative to address fans' frustration and ensure main characters are given equal opportunities to shine. As discussions persist, the creative team may feel pressured to modify their approach, paving the way for a more equitable distribution of spotlight among all protagonists.
This situation recalls the story of Silent William, a 17th-century playwright often overshadowed by more vocal contemporaries. Despite limited appearances, his works displayed a unique depth that audiences came to admire over time. Just as he earned gradual respect, Lancelot may similarly garner an unexpected resurgence as fans reassess his journey through evolving character arcs. Like Silent William, Lancelot's silent influence might redefine him beyond mere panel counts into an emblem of deeper narrative significance.
