    I mean if you lie about your weakness you can gain the upper hand in combat because your opponent effectively wasted a move

    Beyond that it’s just absurd and a twist on expectations

    Also I have no more coffee

      Weakness is ambiguous. The way the question is asked it could be interpreted as a weakness in offense or defense. So it could be that his weakest offense is fire damage.

      Being immune to fire would compound this weakness in situations where it would be useful to use fire to clear the battle field.

      Why does the boss want to defeat the potential employee? Why wouldn’t he support this person with learning to deal with his crippling fire sensitivity? I have so many questions.

        The joke is that the interview was a trap and this was an assassin trying to find out Harry Yagami’s weakness so he’d finally be able to murder him. But the shonen hero saw it coming, and he lied about his weakness to find the traitor, and he’s now about to beat his ass.

            Just by reading it frame by frame, yes. The first frame looks like a typical job interview. The second frame gives a twist about RPG weaknesses. The third frame gives another twist that the interviewer can “now” finally kill the interviewee, meaning he’s been trying but failing before, meaning that the job interview was a trap. The rest is just building on that story, and is not at all what the first frame seemed to be, having undergone 3 twists in a row into a full blown chess master manga.

            It looks like you got stuck on the context of the first frame and you’re still thinking the boss is weird for trying to kill his employee, and you’re not registering the new information and the changes in context that the following frames added and kept building up on.
