But he didn't just stand there doing nothing did he?If words failed about twice, I would've convinced him using sheer force. If you beat him down until he can't do anything anymore, and then properly explain, and then heal and free them afterwards, they'd at least know you could've killed them but clearly didn't. That'd go against the idea that Naofumi killed the other heroes, making it more likely for anyone, including the Spear dood, to believe him.
If they still didn't after that, then the heroes will get killed by gigabird.
He actually fought him. So.. it's not like he didn't use sheer force?
In fact, he acted exactly how you just said you would.
He asked to listen to him, Spear wouldn't listen. He has then beaten Spear in combat, then told him to hear him out once more, then protected him (and the others) from certain death.
there is absolutely no point in getting Gigabird involved.I'd have told gigabird to team up with me. Gigabird clearly is stronger than anything else, clearly stronger than the heroes, so there's that.
Ofc, Gigabird can't team up because REASONS (aka author didn't know how to write himself out of that corner).
They are supposed to reconcile, using force to achieve that won't really help them working together
