This is seen where he was shown to have made several tactical errors and mistakes during his confrontations against the both of them. Not realizing or considering that his perception of Julius as someone who never backs down, even against foes that far surpass him or against a situation with overwhelming odd against him, might not be his older brother's true personality.Īs seen from his fight against Sophia and Wrath due to the relative peacefulness of his reincarnated life and the constant protection and sheltering given to him by his loved ones, Schlain is very innocent and somewhat oblivious to the true darker aspects of war and combat. Ironically, it can be noted that due to Shun never spending too much time with Julius or even seen him in action out in the battlefield as the or experienced any actual battles for that matter, Shun has instead built up an image of Julius based solely on his imagination and idolization of him.

Unfortunately, his ignorance of his limits caused him to continually ignore others' advice and ultimately endanger both himself and his party by engaging an opponent far out of their league. This did not come from a point of arrogance, though, but rather a sense of duty and the belief that he needed to live up to Julius' legacy, believing he must never run and that he would find a way to defeat his enemies, no matter how strong they were. Still, since much of his naïveté stems from him not taking notice of his surroundings, he is actually capable of being quite perceptive if he is paying attention, being especially capable of reading his close friends' thoughts and actions.Īfter becoming the Hero, Schlain's naïveté only worsened as he became increasingly stubborn and reckless. While he would eventually start to pay attention to his surroundings, by the time he does, it is usually too late for him to do anything about it. This causes him to be oblivious to things that seem obvious to the other reincarnations who better adapted to this world, as seen in how he failed to notice the clear malice Cylis and the Queen had for him and the depth of Sue's romantic feelings or even think about what means the elves might have used to “secure” the other reincarnations. This causes him to accidentally put his allies in harms' way, as he did not notice how much of a gigantic impact his actions would have on others.ĭue to his naïveté and trusting nature, Schlain never really questions the situations he finds himself in much, blinding him to the more negative aspects of life in his new world. He tends to view himself as “not special” even though he is exceptional. This is linked to his thoroughly average personality. Besides this, Schlain tends to both underestimate the strength of his opponents and overestimate the strength of his allies. Additionally, it has been noted that the one part of his personality that can be described as something besides “average” is his strong sense of responsibility. When Katia and Feirune are discussing the aspects of their reincarnation, Feirune mentions that it is impressive that Shun has been able to remain thoroughly average in his new life, even though he is a prince and considered a genius. However, this trait allows him to gain the title Ruler of Mercy and the skill Mercy. Having shown to have felt immense guilt and disgust of his actions even though the Dragon had attacked and endangered his friends and classmates and can thus be rationalized as justified self-defense. His kindness is such a predominant part of his personality that he finds taking the life of anything with a sense of self-difficult or even painful, as seen where he felt immense nausea and even fainted after learning that he had helped kill one of Feirune's parents. Schlain is a kind-hearted young man who can be a little dense at times he tends to be too trusting and honest. In his time in the academy, he wore a blue shirt with yellow decorations on the wrists and elbows and a light-brown cape with red and blue decorations on the neck. Like all reincarnations, his appearance has been described as attractive. Shun is a young man with dark blue hair and blue eyes, an average height and a plain body.

In the Anime, his overall appearance was fairly similar to his reincarnated self. As Yamada Shunsuke, he was characterized by his bluish-black hair and matching eyes.
