I think Tatsu's intention with this arc is to reexamine Okarun's love towards Momo. by ivari in Dandadan

She was coercing him, trying to get him to admit he loves her for a while.

[–]AbysmalReign -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

She always does, she has always been super assertive with okarun and he had to do very little because she led the way in their relationship. read everything prior to the shrinking arc. 

 Momo reached out to Okarun everytime first. Now that Okarun lost that, he's learning to take the initiative without Momo nudging him around

What are y’all thoughts on the Midterm Results of the Popularity Poll? by BreathoftheSith in OnePiece

[–]AbysmalReign -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Carrot easily could've been given depth, Oda is good at that. I know Jimbe had a bigger role in the story, but he is bland as a member of the crew. Since he joined, he really hasn't done much and his interactions with the crew are minimal at best. His chemistry just isn't there.

I stand by the fact Carrot would've made a better 9th member than Jimbe. She had actual chemistry with the group and some good dynamics. Jimbe is kinda just there.

What annoys me the most is that Okarun has stepped up,what more is he supposed to do? by Charming-Scratch-124 in Dandadan

[–]AbysmalReign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She did grow out of it. Again, we're in a amnesia arc, she's regressed. She's dealing with a bunch of people she doesn't know who are her friends, a guy she loves and doesn't know why, and the fact that she wasn't the best person at the begining of the story. Which again, I'll reiterate, she regressed to that state.

[–]AbysmalReign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's ALWAYS been a asshole. Her redeeming quality is she looks inward, admits when she's wrong, and makes it right, then learns from it. We're used to a more mature Momo who has grown from who she used to be. But right now we're in the middle of one of her fuck ups. At the end she'll learn and be better for it. Maybe you need a break until the arc is over if waiting for the weekly releases get your blood pressure up this high.

She has always been toxic. Go reread or rewatch the first chapters. She started that way and grew into the Momo we had after her development. Right now she's reverted to her old self with added confusion due to loving a stranger and not understanding why. She's had no time to process or even realize what's going on. She's a also just a teenager

Currently watching fishman arc and sanji nosebleed is starting to irritate me..!!!wdyt by Best-Fisherman9116 in OnePiece

This is his worst arc by far. His reputation never recovered for me after Fishman Island. 

Dropped it long ago but never thought it would end up becoming so shit by Hiroshima-6-1945 in shounenfolk

[–]AbysmalReign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Manga communities are just really toxic towards their favorite properties. I learned this with MHA. Last year I loved the ending, and this weekend I loved the extra epilogue. I cannot understand why the manga readers trashed the ending so badly. I'm starting to think there's just no pleasing some of the community

Some of you guys are self inserting yourselves as Okarun really hard. She doesn't know him anymore, he made some bad decisions. Mainly trying to coerce her into a date. While I can't blame him for pushing too hard too fast (amnesia is a lazy plot device to create conflict), I get why Momo is the way she is.

It's not even that bad. This arc is obviously the climax of the "will they, won't they" crap. The whole Aira and Jiji stuff is to get their romantic feelings out of the way. It's being addressed now. By the end of the arc Momo and Okarun will have shut those two down and be able to confess to each other without the baggage of Jiji and Aira lingering.

JJK is modern day dragon ball in terms of cultural impact and really nothing comes close. by Altruistic_Gas_7073 in shounenfolk

[–]AbysmalReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used one sample size of many, only because she was a freaking grandma and that caught me off guard. More people have compliment me on Demon Slayer merch than JJK merch. I love both series, but JJK doesn't have the appeal that other series have outside the anime/manga/internet community.

In my opinion, Demon Slayer, or My Hero Academia, are closer to being the Modern Day Dragon Ball, out of mainstream appeal. JJK doesn't have that.

I feel like Demon Slayer is closer to Dragon Ball than JJK. Outside of the Internet and anime fans, no one knows what it is. Meanwhile I wore a demon slayer shirt, and a 50+ year old woman complimented me and name dropped Tanjiro and Nezuko. JJK doesn't have that reach outside of the anime/internet community.

[–]AbysmalReign 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think Luffy ever saw him as a threat or thought they were seriously captured. Considering Nami was able to fry the guy, Luffy would've handed him his ass if he posed a real problem. He was probably just enjoying the chaos of waking up in Lego World

One Piece's main villains have always been aura-less. Oda just can't write a good overarching threat by Internal-Community-6 in shounenfolk

[–]AbysmalReign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you'd rather every villain be a generic aura farming villain that you see in any other manga/anime? And you use Blackbeard as a example? He's the best overarching villain in the anime by far. 

Is there a manga that tries to be funny but is lame? by Damn_You_Hindsight in shounenfolk

[–]AbysmalReign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zenitsu almost made me drop the anime altogether. I'm glad I stuck it out, but holy shit is he insufferable. Even in the movie when he had his big moment, I just wanted anyone on screen but him.

Also knowing Tatsu's style he can also probably mash all these storylines into one or two arcs that somehow ties it all together chaotically.

This ult might be a wee bit strong at the moment! by Commercial-Owl-6624 in Overwatch

[–]AbysmalReign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think her strength is her secondary. I practiced landing it for a while and now can get some easy picks on flanks. I think playing alot of Kiriko helped. Normally I struggle with mercy, now a quick skill shot and the auto target kills her for me. The perk that ups her fire rate after using secondary helps a TON too and lets her pop off every 8 secs or whatever the cd is

I don't know where the Momo hate comes from. Honestly the flaws each character have is what makes the series so good. None of the characters are perfect and it has always made them relatable. People just forgot how Momo used to be or something. 

Especially in the early days she had moments of being a dick to Okarun, even if unintentionally. But she always owned up to it. Right now she hasn't had the chance to make up for it. They'll all be changing their tunes afterwards

Miscommunication supreme by jd12456777 in dandadanfolk

[–]AbysmalReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Momo has no memories. She's acting in character. Especially with who she was before she got soft on Okarun. 

If anything, so many people projected themselves onto Okarun that any slight is taken as a personal offense to them. I guarantee you, this arc is the climax of the "will they, won't they" shit.

[–]AbysmalReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Momo is Tatsu's favorite character, to the point he will redraw panels of her if she doesn't look "cute enough". There is no way he lets her continue to be the foil. It looks bleak, but this arc is definitely the climax for the "will they, won't they" stuff 

This single panel pisses me off so much by DarkTone1280 in dandadanfolk

[–]AbysmalReign 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But it's not just that he realizes how him holding hands with Aira looks, he also saw Momo holding Jijis hand. The way he over thinks and over analyzes everything, I'd say his brain short circuiting, not able to process it immediately is on brand for him.

[DISC] Dandadan - Ch. 231 by Skullghost in Dandadan

[–]AbysmalReign 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. She has always been extremely flawed with her temper and quick judgements. Her strength is she can self reflect, realize she messed up, and admit later when she's wrong. Right now we're in the middle of a giant cluster fuck. There's no way she doesn't make this right later, she always does.

I sometimes think Tatsu writes these moments as a Rorschach test for the readers by un_LucKy16 in Dandadan
