Reader’s Question:
How did Koichi manage to deceive the true “lie detector” in the Vigilante: My Hero Academia spin-off?
Unraveling Koichi’s Deception in “Vigilante: My Hero Academia”
So, I was diving into the thrilling world of “Vigilante: My Hero Academia” and came across this fascinating moment where Koichi manages to outsmart a
lie detector. It got me thinking about how clever character dynamics can make a story so much richer. In this particular scene, the character Shin, who’s got that whole lie detection quirk going on, asks Koichi a seemingly straightforward question: “Are you the ‘Kurouman’?” Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Koichi, who is actually known as “The Crawler,” responds with a simple “No.” What’s remarkable is that Shin doesn’t react to his answer at all, which leaves you wondering about the mechanics of this lie detector quirk. It seems like Koichi’s honesty about not being Kurouman actually flew under the radar—because he doesn’t even realize that Shin is targeting him based on something he doesn’t know. It’s a clever twist! Koichi’s innocence and lack of awareness play a huge role in this moment, and it makes you appreciate how well the narrative is crafted. Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations where we have to think on our feet, and this reminded me of my own life. Like that one time I arrived at a friend’s party way too early—like, I’m talking an hour early—and had to awkwardly snack on chips while pretending to be engrossed in my phone. Or maybe when I tried to convince my kid that broccoli is a superfood that gives you superhero powers—because, honestly, who doesn’t want to fly? This scene with Koichi is a great reminder of how sometimes the simplest answers can be the most effective. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it and the context behind it. I’d love to hear your thoughts on moments like these! Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your honesty or a simple answer made a big impact?
