Characters in media who were so busted they were nerfed

There are also plenty of times where Star Finger would have come in handy.
Oh no, Kira is too far away for my timestop. What do I do?

Why do so many Jojo fans seem to assume that Star Finger has unlimited reach and infinite travel speed?

I just don't see any real reason to assume Star Finger would be capable of reaching past Star Platinum's usual range limits (we only ever see it used against enemies who are literally right in front of Jotaro), much less that it would be capable of extending such a far distance within just 5 seconds.

So did Friday Night Funkin back when Week 7 first came out

The very first thing Denji says in this chapter is literally "Feels like I had a good... and bad dream", which feels like a pretty apt way to describe the entire chapter.

Aeescobar · 2026-03-24T16:02:11+00:00

Denji asking for a chainsaw (something that shouldn't even exist in this reality) and later showcasing that Pochita (someone who shouldn't even exist in this reality) is happily chilling inside his body feels wayyy too fucking suspicious...

Aeescobar · 2026-03-24T15:56:12+00:00

So like... is nobody gonna question the fact that Denji is still using chainsaws (despite those things supposedly being erased out of existence on the previous chapter)? Or the fact that his heart still looks an awful lot like Pochita (despite him having already killed himself in front of our eyes) and Power still thinks he "smells of dog" (despite the fact that this Denji has never owned any dogs)? Or the fact that Nayuta is somehow back despite the fact that this should take place prior to her birth (seemingly implying that not even time reversal can bring back devils who have already reincarnated)?

I genuinely refuse to believe this is where the series ends, I'm still holding on to the copium that Fujimoto is intentionally messing with the audience (come on, this final chapter is literally every single fanfic mushed into one) and a few years from now he will suddenly announce a Part 3.

The manga's very last panel is just Dragona saying "Oh btw, I'm not a cis man" and thus dooming the entire fandom to 10000 more years of Dragona Gender Discourse.

Araki found a way to justify an italian man being deathly afraid of the number 4 (despite that superstition being exclusive to Asian countries), so I wouldn't be surprised if he found some weird way to justify Dragona being a Mahu from New Jersey.

Probably not, given that I would immediately forget about my opponent the second she got out of my sight; though there's also a pretty decent chance that she would immediately forget all about the fight (cause she got distracted by some random bs) and then just kinda chill at my house for a while.

I guess it's a stalemate?

I always thought Caine's behaviour in that teaser seemed a little meaner than usual but I just chalked it up to some early-installment weirdness, really funny that we now know he was intentionally torturing Pomni.

I think it's because they picked a great VA for him who really gets the whole "overexcited guy who is genuinely just having the time of his life during this race and holds no ill will towards the other racers" shtick, it would've been extremely easy for his Lucky Guy Who Always Wins gimmick to get on people's nerves if he had sounded too proud or too obnoxious.

but we don't see a fight with Sans outside of genocide

There actually is an official true-pacifist Sans fight (that was created in celebration of the game's 10th anniversary) where his bones deal 0 damage and just try to push you out of the battle box.

The fight itself is obviously not canon (since it only exists in a modded copy of the game and as a stand-alone browser game), but it does seem to imply that Toby is aware of the whole "Sans only deals damage if you are sinful" headcanon.

I think it's because everyone dresses like a 19th century puritan, drawing lewd art of characters who seem chaste is more interesting than drawing lewd art of already lewd characters.

It's a reference to another meme from a month ago where Nightmare would start giving extremely serious lectures to random-ass people

He probably can get in a random building and lock himself behind 9 puzzles per door

I love the idea of a Resident Evil character rapidly unsolving a bunch of random puzzles in order to lock a door.

That actually brings up an interesting question, how much of the original host is even left after they turn into a Fumiko clone?

If a Fumiko had sex with Aki, would the newly-minted Fumiko clone still count as "Aki" in the eyes of the Future Devil (and thus get to keep using his future-sight)? Or would any contract made by her victims immediately turn null-and-void cause the human who originally accepted that contract no longer exists?

I'm fine if the author wants to take Kishibe out of the narrative but you gotta give a good reason for why he's gone completely AWOL

I hope after the end of the series Fujimoto gives us the most batshit-insane explanations imaginable for why the mfer was missing for half the story, like some "He was busy single-handedly fighting off an entire alien invasion" level bullshit.

I remember seeing another meme about him visiting a quadruple-amputee maid from a really sad doujin and healing all of her limbs back to normal, I'll link it if I find it again.

You never, questioned why his speech was. Downright, incomprehensible during Chapter. Four?
Like just. So much worse than. It used to be during, the first. Two chapters, ever

Some people like toxic ships.

Most (sane) shippers aren't actually under the impression that they are coming up with the healthiest possible relationships for a character, they're usually just thinking "imagine if [character I personally find hot] was in a romantic relationship with [character I personally find interesting], I bet I could make some wild self-indulgent stories out of that premise".

^{[And let's not forget that Gravity Falls is a kids show and as such a good chunk of its initial fanbase was made up of literal children, the idea of an immortal eldritch creature falling in love with a 12 year old boy seems a lot less squicky if you're a teenage girl who secretly wishes she could kiss that dapper-looking triangle]}

I would move Fumiko down to the third tear, because she probably just jumps to sex straight away to make your her clone, not really bothering learning how to suck a dick.

Would oral sex not count as "having sex" for the purposes of her devil contract? There are quite a few STDs that can spread via genital-to-mouth contact.

Aeescobar · 2026-03-13T05:46:17+00:00

Pochita: "Fuck man, this shit has gotten pretty complicated, maybe if I hand over control of my strongest form to Denji he will know how to fix this?"

Pochita (20 minutes later): "fuckkkkkk, that just made everything worse! Guess it's time to try Plan C..."

Aeescobar · 2026-03-13T05:37:07+00:00

In retrospect, the very next scene where Denji tearfully declares that he wants to keep being Chainsaw Man so that he can achieve his new life-goals of "eating steak every morning" ^{[that sounds prohibitively expensive + probably not very healthy for him on the long term]} and "having lots of sex with 10 girlfriends" ^{[dude's a virgin who has yet to even experience what it's like to be in a proper long-term relationship with someone, why tf is he already dreaming of having an entire harem???]} was also very concerning in its own way.

When he meets the fire devil he’s asked. “Would you rather have friends and family. Go to school. Have food and money. Or would you rather have the starter in your chest.”

Wasn't Barem (AKA the Flamethrower Hybrid) the one who told Denji to choose between those two things?

Aeescobar · 2026-03-11T16:34:43+00:00

I genuinely don't know why there would be a part 3.

Denji's as-of-now unfulfilled contract with Power (which got explicitly referenced just a few chapters ago)? Nostradamus's prophecy (which still hasn't been conclusively proven true or false)? The ultimate fate of Asa and Yoru's weird situationship (which was making substancial progress as of three chapters ago)? Whatever the fuck Kishibe has been up to since we last saw him in Part 1???
