Yuusha Ni Minna Netoraretakedo Akiramezu Ni Tatakao -

Conventional genre logic would demand a dark turn: the betrayed protagonist becomes a Demon Lord, seeking bloody revenge. The title explicitly rejects this by insisting on continuing to “fight” ( tatakau ). Why? Because revenge is a reaction; it allows the betrayer (the Hero) to remain the protagonist of the story. A quest for revenge says, “My actions are defined by your past transgression.” The protagonist of this narrative, however, chooses a far more difficult path: indifference to the betrayers’ existence . By continuing to fight—presumably against the actual demon lord, or for the sake of the world—he reclaims his own narrative autonomy. He refuses to grant the Hero and the traitorous companions the privilege of being the center of his motivation. His fight is no longer against them, but for something they cannot touch: his own integrity and purpose.

The summoned hero, , recruits the women for his party to defeat the Demon Lord. However, Yuuya is a villainous figure who uses his powers to brainwash Ark's companions into his personal harem. Unlike many stories where the protagonist is abandoned, Ark chooses to fight back, aiming to reclaim his lost relationships and take down the fraudulent hero.
