Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" plot summary
The Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" anime series will serve as the television anime adaptation of author Hanyuu and illustrator Air Matsukoto’s original light novel series of the same name. The light novels serve as the adaptation of Hanyuu’s original web novel of the same name, posted to the Shosetsuka ni Naro website. As of this article’s writing, none of the series’ light novels or manga adaptation volumes have been officially translated into and released in English.
The fantasy series follows protagonist Light, a young boy who dreams of being the greatest adventurer. He and his friend Lean each eat a skill fruit, which can kill someone if they eat it more than once. Lena gains the Sword Saint skill, living up to its name and quickly becoming an S-Rank Adventurer after gaining her newfound powers. Light gets something much less useful in the titular “Fruitmaster” skill, which is only helpful for farming.
Unfortunately, he one day eats a second skill fruit on accident, accepting his fate shortly thereafter. However, instead of dying, he gains a second skill in Sword Saint, the same one his friend Lena has. The story follows him as he utilizes this newfound skill and his unique situation to become an adventurer like Lena. Several other characters are introduced and fight alongside Light throughout the series, making for an exciting and captivating tale.
What to expect from Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" episode 1? (speculative)
Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster" episode 1 will almost certainly focus on introducing Light and Lena as the series’ two central characters. The narrative significance behind Lena being able to become an S-Rank adventurer and Light not should also be made clear, likely revealed as a result of a promise or shared goal between them. The explanation could also be as simple as Light being in love with Lena and not wanting to have to leave her side for good.
Episode 1 should also establish the basics of the series’ “skill fruit” power system, such as its limitations, the range of skills it can provide, and more. Additional side characters beyond those featured in promotional material should also be introduced, such as additional friends and family for Light and Lena alike.
