Motoyasu Kitamura/Chronology

Volume 1
Motoyasu is the Spear Hero, one of the Four Legendary Heroes summoned from another world. He was summoned along with the three other Legendary Heroes in Melromarc. Like two of the other heroes, Motoyasu pretends that he doesn't care about being summoned to another world. Motoyasu doesn't particularly think much of the other heroes and rather invest his time in chasing and flirting with women.

Because of his gullibility, he was easily deceived by Myne and tricked into helping her accuse Naofumi of a false crime he never committed and causing Naofumi to be outcast as a criminal.

He was once again deceived by Myne and confronted Naofumi after hearing that Raphtalia was his slave. He forced Naofumi in a one-sided duel and only won because of Myne's interference which he was unaware of. After Raphtalia's curse mark was removed, he was shocked by the fact that Raphtalia had slapped him and yelled at him angrily before going back to Naofumi to comfort him. Ren and Itsuki later pointed out to Motoyasu that someone had interfered with the duel and announced Motoyasu as the loser. Motoyasu couldn't believe his eyes and claimed Raphtalia was brainwashed, which the other heroes were amazed that he could say that after seeing Raphtalia lovingly embrace Naofumi.

Volume 2
Motoyasu was given the largest of the rewards and praise from the king. When Naofumi was denied his promised allowance, Motoyasu says that Naofumi wasn't anywhere nearby at the time of fighting the wave. Itsuki and Ren joined in supporting Naofumi about the unfair duel which prompted Motoyasu to shout that he didn't lose.

Later, Motoyasu was named Governor of the wave-affected village of Riyute. Malty levied a tax of 50 silver coins for entry or exit of the village on his behalf. Motoyasu was baffled by the protest of the villagers, for he had really no grasp of the value of the money demanded. After realizing the grim situation, Motoyasu asked Malty to reconsider but she wasn't lending her ear. Due to circumstances, the Governorship of the village was depended on an unreasonable duel between Naofumi and Motoyasu. Motoyasu was confident of his victory and started laughing at Filo, who retaliated by kicking him in the crotch, much to Naofumi's delight and enthusiasm for the race. Not noticing any foul play, Motoyasu raced but was defeated. As promised, the ownership remained with the previous Governor.

He once delivered a sealed "miracle seed" to a village in the south to save them from famine. Though his game knowledge helped him at that instant, it didn't go exactly as he promised the villagers it would. As it turns out, the seed actually was the seed of a giant monstrous plant which caused a lot of damage to the village after he left, as Naofumi pointed out the seed must have been sealed away for a reason and found the inscription matched his assumption. Motoyasu didn't know about his failure and continued to believe he did a great deed for the village.

Volume 3
Motoyasu was completely blind to all of Malty's unreasonable spending. After seeing Filo in her human form, he charged at Naofumi for her freedom, and also to demand that Naofumi's monster bird be killed, as it always kicked him in the crotch. After realizing that Filo and the bird are one and the same, he was petrified but was kicked away by Filo.

When the Cult of Three Heroes claimed that Naofumi had a brainwashing shield and that he kidnapped the second princess, Motoyasu completely believed the claim. He didn't notice Malty's attempt to kill Melty, while the other heroes did and began to suspect that things were not quite how they appeared to be. Motoyasu puts all his effort into hunting down Naofumi, in a way favoring Malty and the Church of the Three Heroes. Naofumi feels that Motoyasu's efforts to free Filo from his control, might be more about wanting to claim her for himself because the former said that he "digs moe angels" and his suspicions are all but confirmed when, during the time when the three heroes are trying to rescue Melty from Naofumi's "kidnapping", Motoyasu attaches a chain to Filo's leg that takes away her powers so Motoyasu can claim her for himself.

Volume 4
Convinced of Naofumi's guilt, Motoyasu and his party keep chasing down the Shield Hero's group across the mountains all the way to Van Reichnott's territory. Nevertheless, he ended up losing their tracks when Raphtalia's illusion magic and Filo's false trail lead his group in the wrong direction. Unknown to him, tired of chasing her sister and Naofumi, Malty started a fire in the woods to smoke out her prey. Later, he was told or assumed that Naofumi was the one behind the forest fire.

Days later, he encounters with the Shield Hero again, after Naofumi met Fitoria, and unlike the last time, Naofumi tried to make peace with Motoyasu, but the Spear Hero showed more determination than ever to kill him. He has been fed false information by the church's shadows and believed the story of Naofumi's killing of the other two heroes so he decided to avenge them. After the fierce battle, he tried to give his all in the hope of freeing Melty, Raphtalia, and Filo from Naofumi's supposed brainwashing power.

However, while fighting one another the two heroes are attacked by the Church of the Three Heroes using the ceremonial spell Judgement which Naofumi only narrowly blocks using the Wrath Shield. The High Priest makes his presence and his role as head of the conspiracy known and admits having used the same spell from just now to kill Ren and Itsuki and their parties. Motoyasu tries to get Naofumi to help but Naofumi's grudge from Motoyasu's mistreatment is still holding strong.

As the two argue the Pope launches another attack using the Replica legendary weapon forcing the two to team up to fight the pope. As their first volley, Naofumi has Filo toss him and Motoyasu into the air and has Motoyasu attack him triggering self burning curse before firing a Meteor Thrust at the pope. Sadly Motoyasu's attack proves too weak and Naofumi's curse is nullified by the Pope's holy power. The two retreats and get healed by Motoyasu's companions while they work on a plan B.

Motoyasu has his companions cast support magic on him and combines their power together with Meteor Spear and producing a combo skill called Fire Storm Meteor Spear before firing it at the Pope, and subsequently fizzling out before it could reach him or his followers. Instead the Pope's followers cast another Ceremonial spell, Castle Wall, blocking the group of their opportunity to eliminate the Pope's followers.

As the Pope is about to finish the group off Itsuki and Ren, still very much alive, fire off Meteor Bow and Hundred Swords to stop the Pope's attack. Buying time Itsuki and Ren are able to shatter the Pope's barrier with some of their stronger skills causing the Priest to momentarily backpedal. Naofumi organizes the heroes into an attack unit and their followers between support and defense before flinging himself into the hoard of brainwashed followers and having the Heroes attack him to activate self burning curse in the middle of the enemy formation.

Between the curse from Naofumi's shield and the rain of attacks from the Heroes, the disciples' numbers are reduced but the priest isn't affected who responds with more attacks. As the support troops from the Kingdom's army arrives the High Priest devolves into further meglomania and spits out a Phoenix Blade skill to attack them and hides himself using the illusion arrow ability. Naofumi defeats the High Priest using a new skill from the Wrath Shield, Blutopher at the cost of his health.

Once Naofumi recovers he, Motoyasu and the other heroes are led into the throne room of Melromarc where they witness the Queen Mirellia Q Melromarc subjugate the King. Once she's re-established her authority Mirellia moves onto business: explaining that in order to Pacify their enemy Siltvelt which views Naofumi as a god she would like Naofumi to marry one of her daughters and give her a child to pacify them. Since Naofumi rightfully hates Malty she would like him to take Melty instead.

Motoyasu attempts to defend Malty from her accusations however the Queen decides to have Malty tell Motoyasu the truth herself, branding her with a high level slave seal. Naturally Motoyasu tries to protect Malty but Naofumi stops him with Shield Prison and the branding proceeds as intended. After the Queen establishes co-ownership with Motoyasu the Spear wielder witnesses as the slave settings that he checked himself shocks Malty for every lie that she tells, which is to say almost every time she opens her mouth, as a confession is wrung out of her for all the horrible things she's done.

Similarly a explanation is demanded from the King, who can do nothing more than blame his collective woes on Naofumi. Despite Motoyasu's protest for Mirellia 'mistreating' her family Itsuki and Ren voice their suspicions that they've manage to accumulate and Motoyasu is told that if he is going to object to Malty's mistreatment anymore then he is going to have to go out and find evidence of her innocence and is escorted from the throne room so that he doesn't cause anymore disturbances.

Volume 5
When a meeting was held in order to have the Heroes coordinate in anticipation of the up coming waves Motoyasu is delayed from attending the meeting by the actions of Bitch, formerly known as Malty, who tried to poison Naofumi. Once Malty's confession has been wrung out of her. Though dissatisfied and quick to blame Naofumi Motoyasu still participates in the meeting to discuss and strategize the best way to fight the waves.

Mirellia begins by stating her opinion, and the opinion of both the citizens and the officials of the numerous neighboring countries, that Motoyasu, Ren and Itsuki are too weak to survive the upcoming waves. Unless something is done Naofumi will be the only one who will survive the next wave. Naturally Motoyasu and the others want to hear from Naofumi first: after all in spite of being the lowest level and the tank he has the most damage dealing ability and the strongest party members.

Before he tells them anything though Naofumi wants to hear from the three of them. When they first came to this world they had advance knowledge on the waves, their weapons and the world while Naofumi had nothing: then they sat him down and told him that he was a weakling to his face. All that Naofumi is asking for is that they be put on even ground and then he will share with them the fruits of his research.

To Naofumi's rapidly mounting concern it becomes apparent that the others still have the mindset of the world just being a game: if they do die they will just wake up at the nearest hospital no worst for wear, the fights against the High Priest and against Glass seems to serve as proof of their delusional beliefs. Furthermore Motoyasu and the others are under the impression that the third wave was simply an even battle, one that they were suppose to lose in order to advance the plot of the 'game' that they find themselves in.

That said they did legitimately try to kill Naofumi, under the impression that only heroes could actually kill other heroes, that said they believed that rather than permanently dying Naofumi would just get sent back to his world, a statement that makes Naofumi want to send the three of them back to their worlds too. Moving on Naofumi has them tell him everything they know from the get go, information found in their help screens included.

Before moving onto actually useful information, Naofumi employs psychological warfare to make sure they don't lie to him. Aside from information that Naofumi already knew, Ren and the others reveal that the legendary weapons have the ability to copy other weapons that they pick up that belongs to the same class as their legendary weapons, a fact they discovered when they, like Naofumi, tried to buy better weapons in Melromarc's weapon shops, the difference being that they had picked up weapons that were the same as their Legendary weapons.

They also reveal that the legendary weapons have the ability to transform the monsters they kill into drops: weapons, armors, and tools for them and their companions to use. Also, if the necessary ingredients are fed to their weapons they can be set to automatically produce potions and other items for them. They also offer to make up a chart where Naofumi can get good exp. and materials for his weapon. However, they disagree on the method for strengthening each individual weapon that their Legendary weapons can transform into.

Itsuki maintains that a weapon's power is tied to its rarity, it's power can be increased by feeding it specific ores. Ren maintains that proficiency is what's important in a weapon, the longer you use it the stronger it gets until it's reached it's maxed level, and if you have no intention to use it again then you can safely transfer that mastery to a more useful weapon to increase its proficiency. Motoyasu states that you can draw magical power out of objects and use it to give unique effects to weapons through refinement.

As their information doesn't line up the trio accuses one another of lying, even worst they then direct the frustration that they've built up by accusing one another of lying at Naofumi accusing him of gaining a god's favor to increase his and his companions' power. Naofumi maintains that it's not someone else's power: he unlocked Slave, Beast, and Filolial user shields that give a bonus stat growth with every level up for his companions.

He also explains the effect that Filo's cowlick feather that they got from Fitoria during the class up. When Naofumi mentioned Fitoria's ability to transport to the others mentioned that they unlocked a transport weapon from feeding sand from the Red Dragon Hourglass to their weapons. Back to the topic of Fitoria, Naofumi also warns them that Fitoria would hunt down and kill them if they don't start cooperating with one another to fight the waves.

Once again dismissing Naofumi's warning the others accuse him of getting help from a god again to unlock the Wrath Shield. Naofumi once again states that he has not met this world's god, and even if he did he would not have this amicable relationship the others have imagined. To clarify, Naofumi believes that he unlocked the Shield of Wrath from his deep, festering hatred of this world and the other heroes, furthermore his help menu has informed him that the Wrath Shield is a cursed weapon and that he should not use it in spite of the power it has.

Sadly a quick glance through his own help menu reveals nothing to Ren which in turn causes the group to revert back to accusing one another of lying and Naofumi of cheating with vulgar insults being thrown in. The meeting is called short as a group of soldiers barge in informing them that the Heroes companions have gotten into an argument with one another.

When they get down stairs Bitch, Raphtalia and Itsuki's companion Mald have engaged in a three way insult match that is ultimately ended by the Queen who subdues Bitch with her slave seal and puts the meeting on hold for a while, with another reminded being delivered to Motoyasu about what Bitch's personality is really like as Motoyasu carries Bitch away to rest.

Motoyasu and the other heroes receive a message from the Queen detailing the fruits of Naofumi's experiments: All the heroes reinforcement methods work, using them all in combination will dramatically increase their fighting power, they just have to believe in one another. Instead Motoyasu loads his party aboard the ship heading to the Cal Mira Archipelago for the bonus leveling event going on there with Itsuki and Ren's parties, taking all of the prepared rooms, the luxury room prepared for Naofumi and the captain's cabin.

The hero's greed backfires on them however when the extremely rocky waters on the ride over to Cal Mira tosses them around their rooms leaving them sea sick and injured.

Volume 10
Upon Naofumi's return from Glass World and his reunion with Queen Mirella, it is revealed that Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki are missing again. After Eclair and the Hengen Muso Master took them out of the Spirit Turtle, the castle doctors took care of them and cured their weakened state, nevertheless, the heroes remained unconscious. A week before Naofumi's return, Motoyasu and the other heroes woke up and learned of their defeat and captivity at the hands of Kyo and the fact that they were rescued by Naofumi. The realization of their failure shocked them greatly and shortly after they escaped from the castle using their teleportation skills.

Volume 11
Weeks after the events of the Spirit Tortoise incident, Motoyasu finally caught the ear of one of his companions, Elena, looking after her family store. Motoyasu rushed to her side and, to his surprise, learned that Elena was tired of adventuring and now wanted to keep a low profile, living a nice comfortable life despite it being boring. When Naofumi came to talk to him, Motoyasu was shocked and confused, so he used the Portal Spear to escape from Naofumi before hearing him out.

Motoyasu also managed to find Malty along with Lesty. But to his shock they were with the Sword Hero Ren, Malty was feeding lies to Ren and deceiving him and used the Sword Hero to escape from both Motoyasu and Naofumi. In the end, Motoyasu finally realized how much of a fool he was to believe in Malty and fell into depression, not knowing that these events had caused his Legendary Spear to unlock the Curse Series.

Betrayed and disowned by his former companions, Motoyasu had lost all motivation. Naofumi tried to cheer him up by bringing him to a bar, but Motoyasu had neither the will or the strength to resist and let him do as he pleased. Because Naofumi had no idea how to cheer him up, Filo took on the challenge of trying to cheer him up, after multiple attempts, Motoyasu finally broke out in tears and held his face to Filo's chest sobbing. Thus began his deranged love obsession for Filo.

After the events at the bar, his curse series seems to kick into effect. As a result of his curse series, he could now only see women as pigs and can only hear "oink" when they talk, except for Filo. He started stalking Filo and calling Naofumi his "Father."

Motoyasu took Naofumi's advice and used the Power Up Method Naofumi mentioned to him, as a result, he ended up becoming the strongest Legendary Hero out of the 4 heroes. He was later found running away with Filo's carriage with 3 other Filolials. Saying his farewells to Naofumi and Filo.
