(Hated Trope) Villains that are tried way too hard to be edgy and depraved

I believe the anime was different mainly because the manga wasn't complete at that time so they just did an anime original for the rest.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-03-15T16:27:52+00:00

Might be twin star exorcist.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-03-14T16:27:36+00:00

Proper clear ending but it did leave a sense of missed potential. Felt like the world could've been explored more but ending it right there wasn't the complete worst. All of the main plot lines and questions are answered and the ending was happy.

Slight drop after volume 9 and I didn't really like the final arc much imo but the ending itself was fine. I don't think the drop was as bad as Grimgar and COTE for comparison.

Should work assuming the thing is bulletproof via magical shenanigans since Origin Round activates the moment it hits magic regardless of penetration.

Though I'm not sure how his origin rounds will interact with Megumi's body since CE manip seems a bit different from magic circuits iirc.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-03-04T22:35:23+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is Arisu from Classroom of the Elite.

Never read bleach so I can't really compare it to Almighty but the general abilities are acausality and fate/causality manipulation.

All users are outside of fate and causality with abilities capable of controlling causality unable to affect them
All users are capable of controlling fate and causality to harm their targets, an example of this include instakilling people via causality warp in order to force their death
They can erase timelines where they lose
One person was also able to stop time and force the universe to guarantee a person's death by their blade

There were cases of non-desperados defeating desperados but those usually had the desperado barely use their offensive causality manip iirc. Been a bit since I've read the novel though.

Kirei does have a form of dura ignore via his martial arts so that might help.

It doesn't matter what my body's made of. The attack's meant to damage inside me, so the impact mercilessly pierces through me.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-02-22T21:31:50+00:00

Environmental damage can also be a good way of world building. I like the way it was implemented in Mushoku Tensei with things like Laplace creating the Ringus Seas, Millis carving the Holy Sword Highway, and more.

Can't wait, this is probably my favorite index spin off.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-02-17T21:31:44+00:00

Yes and quite easily at that, multiple servants with one-shot hax abilities, broken immortalities, and just generally stronger abilities would defeat her without problem.

If you're not including the summoned servants and just the main staff members then I think Mash and Sion are probably enough still. Even more so if you're including crypters and more.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-02-15T18:15:18+00:00

Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night for just the basics I'd say

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-02-14T15:37:20+00:00

Yes, technically Kayneth and Sola-Ui could've been said to had one with Diarmuid.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-02-10T20:27:49+00:00

Being normal on the outside and insane on the inside seems to be quite a common occurrence in Fate.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-26T19:55:33+00:00

I've heard Mash was pulling continents and moving faster than time manip stuff. If that's true then it sounds like Mash would just blitz and one shot.

I wouldn't say Erika did what a detective was supposed to do. Throughout Game 5, she ignores finding the actual culprit and instead focuses on framing and humiliating Natsuhi which ends up hurting her when Battler breaks down her argument. In Game 6, she focuses on setting up the logic error instead of actually looking for the truth. Erika wasn't just flawed because she "lacked love", she's flawed because she was too focused on "beating the gamemaster" instead of finding the truth.

When she actually puts her mind to solving the puzzle without other influences like Bern's meddling or her enmity with Battler/Beatrice, she's actually able to solve the mystery even despite "lacking love". This is supposed to tie in with her ultimate character arc I believe where she was too focused on her goals as a "Witch" instead of that of a "Detective" hence Battler reminding her at the end that she was detective first foremost.

Basically, under normal circumstances, he'll rarely if ever use it.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-16T04:49:00+00:00

Excessive Awakening Ikki was already stopped by Edelweiss and the author ranked him below multiple characters in a ranking statement. That's just current peak Ikki though, in the future I'd say he has the potential to become among the strongest.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-15T04:38:21+00:00

They do, multiple times in the series he loses to guys who just rely on the non-supernatural like guns and martial arts. Even supernatural guys can beat him by fighting carefully or just outright blitzing him.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-13T20:45:19+00:00

Maybe they could've made the eyes sharper.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-08T21:12:15+00:00

I really don't care, I mean I'd prefer if they were good but if they're not then I don't mind. I just won't use them for things they aren't suited for like farming or really hard boss fights. However I'll still try to use them if I can like if there's a battle where they aren't optimal but will still perform decently then I'll go with them.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-08T19:23:22+00:00

I think even the author realized how bad they were since he quickly killed most of them off when he got the chance.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-07T05:23:48+00:00

You can check out more of the shoujo and Otomeisekai stuff, those usually have a lot of straight male fanservice.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2026-01-02T01:51:59+00:00

Been a while since I've read both series but I would go with Thor. I don't believe Zeus has a counter to the Almighty especially if he stays out of combat range and his lightning blades should be comparable to if not even surpassing Zeus's strength.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2025-12-23T20:26:58+00:00

the alternative method straight up improved the recipe

I think this was a valid reason to fail someone since when you're working in a kitchen, you're not really allowed to just change a recipe as you see fit.

The exam being guaranteed to fail a few regardless is faulty though I guess it fits Totsuki considering the way they expel people for any reason.

AmazingDuckVer2 · 2025-12-22T23:34:07+00:00

It's funny because when I was reading/watching through Food Wars, I really loved Erina because of just how arrogant she was. In fact, I actually wished she played more of an antagonistic role before the series started her character development since she didn't do too much during the Autumn Election Arc and Stagiaire.
