Nah not really. Like let's see... Sinbad from Magi(who isn't the strongest in the lore), Esdeath as stated above(who is but not invincible) Accelerator from Toaru(no where close to the strongest but leagues above the main character) Asuka from Evangelion(literally gets torn apart). These are all characters that fill that "far better than the protag could ever hope to be". Reinhard is NOT this. I haven't read the light novels, but from what I've heard from its fans, he is invincible. That's not the same thing, and apparantly the author knows this. The author wrote a bad character for the sake of having him be powerful. That's a bad writer. Now of course this all goes out the window if you guys are just overstating things. i really hope that is the case. According to you guys, Reinhard only exists to make Subaru look weak though, which frankly is a character traight held by every character in the series, esentially bolstering my point that this is bad design. It just really pisses me off that such a good, well put story, directed by the guy who wrote the novels btw(in reference to the anime) could hold within it something so stupid. I'll keep watching and act like I never saw any of this...
