So how many people are failing to connect Adamant Knight, Hero, with the Heroic Construction Worker Adamant Knight?

Quagmire could be unknowingly a god of lust, life,fertility or disease. any mixture of the three or just all of the above. I can imagine a youma trying to drain his vitality and it not working at all or he just never runs out.
Alternatively imagine quagmire is a random pervert visiting japan gets involved in a youma plot only to have it foiled by a non sailor moon group and the resulting cascade failure of magic and life force imbue said man with the Vitality of 100+ people and that's his origin story.
Alec is clearly having a lot of fun with this.
He obviously used a repair spell, but just hammed it up for the camera.
Wonder if he's just trolling with the scenery chewing, or if he's also trolling the secret mages by doing magic in a way they can't cover up.
Alchemist has gone native. Now, he is using "Asian" Magic.

Wonder if this gonna turn into a conspiracy that old people could guilt and shame things into fixing itself but wont do it cause they're afraid that the youngan could turn lazy if they find out
Oh. I get it now. I mean, sure, at least some of this is probably just the fact that Areru, sans many of Alchemists' originally highly introverted/socially awkward experiences just seems to be a more extroverted person when he feels like it.
Some is probably a latent desire for attention as a result of a lifetime of loneliness, albeit with the safeguard of an anonymous identity.
Most of all though, he's deflating the Masquerade. It's going to come down inevitably whether by the advancement of technology or the progression of anime plots...but there's still a lot of potential for chaos and bad actors. If it gets deliberately popped though? Done so in an extremely hammy/disarming way to mitigate initial panic? And done with the kind of wide-spread proof that the Mages Association can't subtly or overtly quash? It's kinda funny how a whole Ward of people can know the Youma exist and yet there isn't a Masquerade breach, mass panic, or the rest of Japan in the know...sounds like local leaders are in on things or mind-controlled, and the masses have a basic-but-pervasive filter on their concern/perception - though that may be more the Youma or Sailors. Either way...collaborators, puppets, and a weak wide-area spell or ward? Don't do too well at dealing with a live broadcast to thousands or millions of people and the kind of video evidence that can't be faked (by tricks, or digital software that doesn't exist yet.)
I figure the real reason for the Adamant Knight, the one more important then inserting himself into the Sailors conflict even (at least, as far as explaining why it's the Adamant Knight intervening and not anything else)...is specifically breaking the Masquerade as early and gently as possible. Hams are harmless after-all, and while the Youma should be incredibly terrifying (and no doubt are to anyone read-in on them or experienced enough to get how powerful they are)... they're also stupid looking idiots regularly defeated by cute school girls. That's probably about as good an introduction as the public can get to how the Supernatural isn't all incredibly terrifying and they need to turn their brains off and flail wildly...but it still has more clear positive/relatable parts that make people inclined to actually THINK and empathize. While also not giving them (in this case, the power players and not the plebs) any particularly foolish ideas on how lucrative or useful this magic thing could be with some 'reasonable' leverage.

I feel like a bizarre mythos will begin to spring up concerning The Adamant Knight. A mythos of Memes, reflecting the Chuck Norris memes, for example:
When the Adamant Knight is diagnosed with Trypophobia, Holes fear Him!
Or something similar.
When the Adamant Knight is diagnosed with Trypophobia, Holes fear Him!
Or something similar.
With how popular the Tobi voice change meme from Naruto has been as of late I would love for Areru to do his own version.
Like just picture it. The sailor scouts are barely standing and the city is in ruins. The only thing that stands between them and defeat is the hammy Adamant Knight. In the background a little girl cries for her Mom.
It's Hanabi.
Suddenly the whole world goes silent. The adamant knights voice changes, dropping into something layered and ominous.
Through his visor shines eyes of twisted yellow.
And then the sound comes back but it's not the city you hear, but the voices of a million damned screaming at. You. To. RUN!
And that's as far as I got.

Seems Areru is having a grand old time hamming it up and messing with people.

So, with a blue knight running around, I feel like a red samurai should show up to rival them. Though the closet fit I can thing of is Ryo from Ronin Warriors (Armor Legend Samurai Troopers when it originally aired in Japan). It however has been ages since I watched Ronin Warriors, so I don't know if he'd even be the sort to get annoyed at a European knight stomping around his territory, and also I don't know how much his character got changed for the English dub. But its basically the right time period. Sort of. It originally aired from 1988 to 1989, but it came over to America in 1995. So like its a 90's anime in my heart even if it strictly speaking isn't in actuality.

Areru should get his hands on Alchemist's Invictus mech and his FTL dragon-mobile.
Mechs are a staple of 90s anime, and spaceships are needed for the whole Tenchiverse thing.

Anime and manga have pretty crazy timelines in general, like Ranma canonicaly takes place over the course of like 30 weeks with 2-4 arcs/issue/incident happening concurrently, Yu Yu Hakusho takes place over the course of like 4 months before the Demon World arc and is mostly timeskips of Yusuke training

I mean, there's a reason he's dressing up and acting hammy. He's not a mage, he's a Senshi-adjacent magical warrior.

Usagi: "I think the healing spell he gave to us is how he fixed that big crater?"
Luna: "I don't believe you..."
Usagi: "Apparently it cures road rash."
Luna: "...but I do hate you."
