Rune Soldier Louie | comment |
When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. When Melissa, the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, she is most upset.Rune Soldier Louie (Mahou Senshi Louie) is a fantasy Light Novel series by Ryo Mizuno, creator of Record of Lodoss War; in fact, it's considered a sibling series to Lodoss, as it takes place on a continent north of Lodoss Island. The light novels were serialized in Dragon Magazine from 1997 to 2012 and compiled into 21 volumes. It also has a manga adaptation that was serialized in Monthly Dragon Junior from 1999 to 2003, and an anime adaptation by J.C. Staff that aired in 2001 for 24 episodes.Rune Soldier Louie has fun playing against type with the tropes of the fantasy genre. Lodoss's roots in Dungeons & Dragons are just as clear here as they are in the original series, with the stereotypical character classes — who don't always act anything like you would expect they should. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: In episode 8, Merrill and the others become jealous when Louie repeatedly fawns over Celecia. The 5th chapter of the manga introduces Ila. Suffice to say, Jeanie and co. aren't thrilled when they lay eyes on her and see what a bombshell she is, especially while she was on Louie's arm. There's even a healthy dose of Male Gaze in the lower-right three panels to emphasize it. Obvious jealousy, was obvious. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
Rune Soldier Louie / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: In the manga version, Melissa and her group simply appear after Louie is released from jail and tell him that Mylee has decreed him as the hero they must serve. Whereas the anime has them turn him down when Ila suggests they hire him, and only accept Louie as part of their group after Melissa has performed the revelation ceremony. During which, she receives word from Mylee that her champion would be the very next person she saw. Moments later, Louie falls through the roof of the Mylee shrine and lands facedown in the holy spring, directly in front of Melissa. | |

Rune Soldier Louie / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Celecia is a pure and kindhearted maiden... except for when it comes to Louie's feelings for her; which she shamelessly exploits so he'll fulfill her tasks for her and protect her while he's at it. Once that's done, she ditches him without a moment's hesitation. Melissa and the others spell it out for him, at the end of the 9th episode (at 18:15-18:57): Ila's manga incarnation is somewhere between this and The Gadfly, as she's portrayed as outwardly cheerful and friendly, but is actually snarky and manipulative. Like how she turned Merrill and Jeanie's insults back at them, to goad them into going with Louie to the Forest of Tartious. | |

The Smart Girl: Though she's only a novice spellcaster, as a member of the Magician's Guild, Ila's very knowledgeable of magical artifacts and ancient tomes, which she uses to help Louie and his friends. In episode 15, she fares better against the 'Guardian of the Lake' than the rest of the group: first by luring it out into the open with the depth charges she made. Then she managed to temporarily stun it, by using her "shock box", which ran a high voltage current through the lake (seen at 14:51-16:01, here). | |

However, it's self-imposed with the female magicians of Ophun. Jeanie's group had come in search of hiring a female mage for their travelling party. But according to Ila, the female mages in their city simply don't have the stomach for adventure and prefer to lock themselves away with their studies. Which is why she suggested they hire Louie, since he was already more than willing (at 4:48-6:50, here). | |

The Gadfly | |
Rune Soldier Louie / int_582564f5 | comment |
Ila's manga incarnation is somewhere between this and The Gadfly, as she's portrayed as outwardly cheerful and friendly, but is actually snarky and manipulative. Like how she turned Merrill and Jeanie's insults back at them, to goad them into going with Louie to the Forest of Tartious. | |

Rune Soldier Louie / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of episode 12, Farbe finally tells Jeanie why Hector sacrificed himself, back when they were in the king's army. It was because he'd secretly been in love with her and couldn't bear the thought of her dying, so he chose to do it in her stead. While she doesn't share the sentiment, she appreciated the gesture all the same. | |

Reluctant Fanservice Girl: It would be the priestess. Poor Melissa: When Headmistress Jenny jokes that Melissa's duty may require her to let Louie have his way with her, she imagines him as an ogre tearing her clothes off in the manga, complete with a Big "NO!". While they're out sailing in episode 15, when Louie casts his fishing line, the hook snags the top of Melissa's bikini, then pulls her across the deck, tearing off her top in the process. She ends up flush against Louie's back and has a screaming fit when looks at her, followed by hitting him with a barrage of punches and demanding her top back. And when she volunteers to cover for Merrill, while she was out sick, she finds one of Merrill's jobs is dancing in a burlesque show. So Melissa ends up having to wear a skimpy showgirl costume. | |

Stay in the Kitchen: Subverted, Jeanie thought this happened to her in her army days. It turned out Hector didn't let her stay behind to die because he was in love with her, not because she was a woman. However, it's self-imposed with the female magicians of Ophun. Jeanie's group had come in search of hiring a female mage for their travelling party. But according to Ila, the female mages in their city simply don't have the stomach for adventure and prefer to lock themselves away with their studies. Which is why she suggested they hire Louie, since he was already more than willing (at 4:48-6:50, here). | |

This applies to Jeanie as well, who appears much more feminine in the manga (including wearing lipstick) and with less muscle tone; though she still has a very solid frame. In the anime, she borders on being outright butch and has far more muscle. | |

Show Some Leg | |
Rune Soldier Louie / int_c2ecf3b8 | comment |
Show Some Leg: Merrill pulls this on a clay golem, so it'd stop long enough for Louie to get her precious jar. It sorta worked (for a few seconds, anyway)... just not in the way she intended. | |

Action Girl: In the anime, Jeanie is the most action oriented member of the female cast. Merrill also knows how to handle herself in a fight, but not to the same extent, since she's more of a Fragile Speedster. | |

Rune Soldier Louie / int_e098de6c | comment |
Oblivious to Hints: For the first half of the series, it's subtly implied that Ila's nursing a crush on Louie, except he completely fails to notice. Even when she was wearing one of her best dresses and said she was waiting for him and his friends to show up. Or while she was lying there topless asking him to rub suntan lotion on her back. | |

Celecia is a pure and kindhearted maiden... except for when it comes to Louie's feelings for her; which she shamelessly exploits so he'll fulfill her tasks for her and protect her while he's at it. Once that's done, she ditches him without a moment's hesitation. Melissa and the others spell it out for him, at the end of the 9th episode (at 18:15-18:57): | |

The Fool: Louie. Anime Louie is closer to a Bunny-Ears Lawyer with some of The Ditz mixed in. Manga Louie is less goofy but more perverted and also rather more competent than his anime counterpart. | |

Rune Soldier Louie / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: At least, when it comes to Jeanie. Seen near the end of episode 12 when she and Louie duke it out after growing fed up with his reckless behavior which happened to reopen an old emotional scar (seen at 13:23-16:57, here). The manga version doesn't wait that long. Louie floors her in the very first chapter, after Jeanie takes a swing at him when they first meet. And decks her again, during a sparring session in the following chapter. | |

Superior Species: Discussed. According to legend, elves are the highest order of the fairy folk and said to be immortal, but Celecia corrects Louie by stating that while elves do have longer lifespans than humans, they're far from immortal. And says they aren't as noble as most believe them to be. Louie admits to realizing that, but says he'd still rather believe the legends. | |
