    That's... not actually a refutation. My idea is that Densuke always planned for Botin to be unsealed. When it actually happens doesn't matter as much.

    When van goes to origin and presuming he's going to inhabit someone's body at some point, what do you think vans soul entering a human body would do to said victim, I kinda want the body to deform in a way that makes him extremely tall (2m-2.5m) but extremely anorexic, pure white skin and hair, no wrinkles or other defects with the same eye colours as vans main body (red and purple). Oh and no presence unless he wants people to notice that he's there.

    Really, it seems more like the 2nd major ongoing theme of this series. Where humans are involved, nothing ever really seems to go to plan.

    Seriously, Van seems to be very good at making plans that play gods like a fiddle. However, whenever he makes a plan on how to interact with human society it rarely ever goes as he had planed.

    That could happen, but only if Van materializes his soul.

    That used to be an effect of leaking death attribute mana, but that probably won't happen anytime soon. Between Path Enticement and being a god in general, Van will really stand out. However, Van can now consciously cast magic to make himself unnoticeable, so it's no big deal.

    Mortals' biggest weakness: the dead outnumber the living
    Gods' biggest weakness: predictable af

    This demands a parody.

    He's always unconsciously been using this spell since a very young age though, he's just never realised it due to his natural charm towards vida's races, if your not in vans "charming zone" then it's hard to notice him, look at when Van tried to become an adventurer in the scylla arc, no one noticed him until he talked to the receptionist and even when he was close to the receptionist she didn't notice van until after he talked to her.

    Death Attribute Charm is now Path Enticement. And yes, anybody affected by it are apparently unaffected by magical perception filters. And Van didn't know how to use that perception filter as a spell until using Dark King Magic against Ervine. He must have been unnoticeable before then because he was leaking mana.

    Ok, so in origin he could purposefully leak some mana to be "undetectable" by normal methods but I've just remembered that origin has DA detectors so he would stick out like something that sticks out alot if they used them on him.

    Wonder if he actually stopped doing it by the time he arrived to Moksi, he has been working as a popular skewer vendor for a wile now after. Or maybe he noticed already and stop using it whle he is working.

    Random Human General: The Demon King Army is nothing to be fear! Humanity have always fought those stronger than us and our united might have seen their defeat time and time again! Go, brave warriors, let's become humanities Champions!
    *Meanwhile in the Vidal Army's camp*
    Vidal Soldier A: So, what do you see?
    Vidal Soldier B: New recruits.
    Vidal Soldier A: How kind of them.


    Random Alda God: Lord Alda, what shoud we do?
    Alda: We will follow my flawless plan.
    *Later*
    Van: Well, that was easier than usual.
    Borkus: What kind of idiot attack so directly? Even the ones hiding started screaming "For Alda" at the top of their lungs, have their never heard what an ambush is like?
    Jack: Hitomi-chan, who was that Leroy person some were screaming about?
    Hitomi: An idiot warrior who runed to his and his companions dead out of stupidity.
    Van: I see, that explain a lot...

    Either way, I'm not sure if Van ever needed to stop leaking mana. Guidance makes him noticeable again. Mostly.

    Alda: "NANI?! Very well. Bring out the slightly stronger small fry!"
    Few Reasonable Gods: "Lord Alda, isn't that just providing the enemy free food and experi-"
    Yes-Men: "HERESY!!"
    Alda: "Ah, I almost forgot! Does anyone see any problems with my flawless plan?"
    Few Reasonable Gods: "Y-"
    Yes-Men: "NO."
    Alda: "Good. There are no problems. This can only end well. Onwards!" *raises steak of law*
    Few Reasonable Gods: "Lord Al-"
    Yes-Men: *raise various divine meats* "FOR VICTORY!!" :blobhero:

    #AttackVanWithSteak

    LEEEEEEEEROOOOOY JENKINS!


    By the way, since we're throwing ideas out there...
    High Priest Gordan: "No! I must kill the monsters!"
    Van: "No, Gordan. You are the monsters."
    And then Gordan was a zombie priest.

    That is random...

    Personally, the 5th volume was my favourite, more for the character development side of things. The rest are "more of the same" to a large degree. However, the series does seem to be getting close to the end. I dunno if the next volume (in Japan) will be the last but it might be. Certainly seems to be "the beginning of the end".

    You do ask "does it get better" so I guess some things didn't satisfy you that much. Depending on what you like though, perhaps it does get better. But overall, "more of the same" is how I'd describe it.

    Where is Van's school? Are every Duke has their own school or only in central? Maybe there is different school for noble and commoner? Is Van's school same with Selen? So many question about Van's go to the school. Where is Heinz position again? Duchy near Van or really far away?

    It shouldn't be a unisex school but they should have separate dormitories.
