Then I described it correctly!
(It's not unwatchable, though. Hibiki himself has so much charisma that it's easy to forget that he's mired in a nonsense plot, and I really like what Todoroki and Zanki are up to.)

Lot of interesting juicy stuff in there that feels very Hibiki to me. And would probably be a lot more interesting than Makamou, But A Lot Of Them.

How exactly would that go? How would that make him feel among the Oni when even though what he's doing is fine and not causing any problems, he feels he's letting down the legacy that came before him? How would perhaps other Oni feel, apprentices who had heard the name Hibiki and been excited to meet this legendary warrior but is completely let down?
But, honestly, it would be a good story... if the show seemed to have any interest in telling a story about Asumu becoming Hibiki's apprentice.

Not gonna go into how I feel on whether or not Asumu should be an oni (it's Complicated, but basically; I'd be very fine for it going either way), but I like this idea a lot. The idea of someone who does stand out at least a little among the Oni, someone who is relied on a lot and often takes the lead and is possibly even a hero to some... and his apprentice that he leaves behind is just alright. No-one amazing or exceptional, certainly couldn't be called lazy or wrong-willed or bad at his job either; just someone who does know what he's doing but never really has moments or goes above that. The Completely Normal Oni. How exactly would that go? How would that make him feel among the Oni when even though what he's doing is fine and not causing any problems, he feels he's letting down the legacy that came before him? How would perhaps other Oni feel, apprentices who had heard the name Hibiki and been excited to meet this legendary warrior but is completely let down?

I think it's something that would be interesting to explore for a few episodes, but I don't think you could make a show (or even an arc) out of it. By its nature, it's about a Basic Ass Oni, and that's not going to feel super-fun to watch. Stories about competent characters who are neither great nor awful... I feel like that doesn't have enough juice to work as a superhero story?

I think it'd be great if this show had done the Asumu apprenticeship a little earlier, and had some sort of Apprentice Track Meet or something, and everyone's scared shitless of going up against Hibiki's kid... and then they're like Why Does He Keep Coming In Third Place.

I definitely am starting to feel like this plot is my punishment for finding so much to like in Kiriya's early appearance.
