So I'm a Spider, So What? Wiki

Bloe Phthalo is the brother of Balto and the commander of the Seventh Demon Army.[1][2][3] He is a warrior who wields a greatsword and is a bit rough around the edges—both in personality and appearance.

Appearance[]

Bloe has messy blond hair and a wild look. Unlike his brother, he is described as a ruffian.

Personality[]

He carries himself in a threatening manner and speaks in much the same way.

Bloe respects his brother and has shown concern about how overworked Balto is under the Demon Lord.

He also has a poorly hidden crush on Shiro.[4]

Relationships[]

Balto
Bloe is Balto's younger brother. The two share a strong elder-younger sibling bond and care deeply for each other. Bloe, in particular, is shown to worry greatly about Balto due to his workaholic tendencies and the stress from his role as the Demon Lord’s secretary and manager of the Demon Territories. He holds deep admiration for his older brother and believes that, because of Balto’s dedication and leadership skills, he should be the Demon Lord instead of Ariel.
Ariel
Bloe has openly antagonized Ariel and has publicly and vocally expressed his disapproval of her as the Demon Lord. Because Ariel suddenly appeared out of nowhere and claimed the title and position as leader of the demons, Bloe harbors strong resentment toward her and believes she is unworthy of the role. In his eyes, his brother Balto is far more deserving due to his dedication and commitment to their people.
Bloe’s dislike and contempt for Ariel only deepen further as she pushes the demons toward rapid militarization and war—despite their declining birth rates and the fact that they have yet to recover from the previous conflict. He makes his hatred known directly to her face during meetings between the army commanders.
Due to Bloe’s straightforward personality, he was initially oblivious to Ariel’s true power and the more subtle implications of her actions. He believed it was possible to overthrow her, as seen in his hope that Julius, the holder of the [Hero] title, might be able to defeat her.
However, upon learning that Ariel was the Origin Taratect—the leader and "mother" of the Queen Taratects—and that she in fact surpasses even her own spawn in terms of power, Bloe abandoned all thoughts of rebellion. He chose instead to follow the same path as his brother: obeying her orders while attempting to minimize the destruction her actions cause, in the hope of preserving the Demon Race.
Shiraori
Bloe was said to have instantly fallen for Shiro the moment he saw her face, with his older brother confirming that she was his first love. After their first meeting, Bloe made numerous attempts to get Shiro’s attention, even asking his brother for advice on what women might like and giving her various gifts. However, due to Shiro’s dislike of him—stemming from the fact that he had burned her webs during their first encounter—and her own obliviousness, she never noticed his feelings, despite Bloe’s inability to properly hide them.

Synopsis[]

The first time he is introduced, he causes a fuss about the newly appointed Demon Lord and is promptly put in his place by Ariel.[1][2] Having grown up admiring his older brother from behind, he couldn’t accept Ariel suddenly appearing and being inaugurated as the Demon Lord, and he strongly opposed the plans presented at the Demon Army Commanders' meeting.[5]

After that, war is set in motion, and as the commander of the Seventh Army, Bloe has a lot of work to do. He spends much of his time assisting his brother Balto by helping to root out dissent.[6]

When the time finally comes to begin the war, Bloe ends up facing off against the human Hero, Julius Analeit.[7] Bloe holds his ground until his last breath, believing that he is the only one in his army who stands a chance at defeating the Hero.[8]

Abilities[]

Swordsmanship, even though he lost to Julius he did put up a good fight before being ultimately defeated.
