I guess it might be a good thing I'm not a director since I probably do focus on unimportant things. I just sort of always got the feeling from the source, and I don't think this is a spoiler it's just my feelings, that Root was a very conceited / egotistical kind of person. Maybe I just hallucinated that, because that's where I'm coming from is when the anime doesn't match my expectations of the character. Like I would've expected him to respond to being told someone is stronger than him with "You always were a kidder, Tomoe". I don't know, I feel like he's not really matching with my expectations, especially since people are calling him Luto instead. Like, did they really change that? Why?! It's like taking someone named Kuro that dresses all in black and being like "Actually, we'll translate their name as Jeffrey. Close enough". /rant
Is there any meaning to his name? His name is ルト in Japanese, I’m not aware of it having anything to do with the English word root which should be ルート.
He’s certainly done some shady stuff in the past, like hyumen experiments in his lab. I’m not sure he is evil, probably is outside of humen/hyumen morality. He seems to be opposed to the goddess. Were ancient dragons indigenous to the world? I forgot the lore.
