This seemingly innocent series starts to show the darkness it contains in I Parry Everything episode 6 using not the protagonist but an equally interesting one.
It’s been five episodes of major character development, which led to the character establishment of the protagonist, now it’s time for some new inclusion and what could be better than a demonkind in a fantasy anime at this point?
Though this new character was first introduced in I Parry Everything episode 5 but didn’t have any proper introduction there, that is not so much unexpected, since an explanation, right off the bat, could have killed off the flow of the story.
However, the right choice was made in I Parry Everything episode 6 since the story didn’t make its viewers wait long to be informed about the new character’s backstory.
On the other hand, this episode doesn’t fall short of showing off Noor’s bravery and kind-heartedness along the way.
Now that it’s clear what this episode dabbles in, let’s discuss further about this comprehensively.

Darkest Depth Of The Past In I Parry Everything Episode 6
From the previous episode, it’s evident that Noor was protecting one potential terrorist, hell, maybe one full-fledged child terrorist that was leading a dangerous monster to a populated city.
However, what we didn’t know, was what happened that made that child do such a dangerous deed that could have sent his head flying at any moment, I mean it is evident that he was being used as one disposable pawn right?
Well, this is where this inspirational and light-hearted story starts to get a tiny bit serious.
The child is already identified as demonkind in the previous episode, so that’d be nothing new, but demonkind in this story isn’t a race with a violent nature or has some horn on the head or tail on the back.
In fact, they are depicted as humans with different genetics, with silver hair and purple eyes, the capability of controlling monsters, and also a race heavily discriminated against.
It’s just identical to our real history where dominant races discriminate against other lesser races.
Well in this story there was a reason, demonkind were used as soldiers in the battles between countries, and as a result, they had destroyed many cities, but objectively speaking, they were forced to do so, so it was a totally misplaced anger, if we talk in that race’s behalf.
Nothing can be done since that’s how human nature is, they will always target the easiest one always, which is shown brilliantly in I Parry Everything episode 6.
I Parry Everything episode 6 shows the torture that Demonkid Rolo and other Demonchildren soldiers go through as slaves without getting much grotesque and that approach doesn’t fail to deliver the context.
Although this episode doesn’t delve deep enough into the mind of the said character, that’s okay, since the overall theme could have been damaged if it was done, since it seems like this story isn’t supposed to dwell too much into the darker aspect of the society, it’s about showing the light of the hope.
I mean, from the beginning of the series even the intro and outro are much bright for it to be dark anyway.
Having Talent Isn’t Always A Good Thing
I Parry Everything episode 6 isn’t all about the dark past of Rolo, I mean it is somewhat that but it also compares his past with Noor’s.
Noor, who was born without talent, and Rolo, who was born with impressive talent according to Noor, meant for greater things since all the convenience Noor could think about Rolo’s ability is its usefulness in formwork, which is great enough for him.
Well, it is a known fact that Noor is a person who believes every good deed adds up.
So in this aspect, I Parry Everything episode 6 does a good enough job to compare their past life to show us that may not be the case.
Though to depict this comparison this episode adapts a generic approach, but in this case, there could be nothing better, and sometimes all an instance needs a simple and easy-to-understand approach.
A talentless Noor may have suffered and struggled but been inspired to grasp his long-awaited dream of becoming an adventurer, however, he didn’t have to face scorn, discrimination, and torture(though he did inflict pain on himself sometimes as shown in the I Parry Everything episode 6).
On the other hand, Rolo with amazing talent was subjected to endless torture and discrimination from others and had his self-confidence broken to the point that all he could think of was only his death could be of help to others.
See? Society isn’t easy, and the series could’ve shown such, but that would’ve defeated the purpose and changed the direction, so it showed Noor sympathizing with Rolo.
However, there is a discrepancy, how did Noor understand that Rolo was being used to do despicable acts when he already assumed that all Rolo was doing was delivering the monster which he thought was a giant poison toad as a fresh source of food somewhere?
There is no chance he understood right?
So how could he sympathize with Rolo?
Well, that’s where you have to use your imagination and feelings and think about the desperation in Rolo’s voice which could’ve tugged the string of Noor’s heart.
Leaving all that aside, what is the catch, is that having talent can be poison to some and not having talent could also inspire some.
Final Thought
After watching I Parry Everything episode 6, and understanding the story angle it seems that though it didn’t break the shell of its genre, but did the minimum necessary to portray an important character in the shortest time possible without any lacking aspects.
There is another funny factor where Lynne comes to misunderstand Noor in a good way and thinks of his ignorance as his bigheartedness, which adds a little spice to the ending, though very little.
However, that holds little to no importance since what is about to transpire in the next episode could be a major twist since the place they are visiting doesn’t allow Demonkind and Noor is adamant about taking Rolo with him.
