The whole anime is a completely absurd premise with obtuse logic, but I’m hoping they actually make it pay off without it becoming generic nonsense.

The premise is basically “kicked out of the villain party” except it’s a whole ass guild with 500+ members. I would rather they just forget that entire premise until the last two or three episodes when the structure of the arc requires the big send off with the requisite fireworks.

I have a theory that “kicked out of a party” premises are recession indicators, just like vampire premises, so maybe someone will innovate and give us the first “kicked out of the vampire guild” premise at some point.
