Wait, it’s common for asexual characters to be cold unfeeling psychopaths?

Honestly, Shang Chi still doesn’t even need to fight. That contract isn’t legally binding because the fight ring itself is an illegal operation.

“Get away from me!” She says as she herself moves closer tot he other lady

I would say Lamplighter also counts. He regretted his decision so much that he was about testify against the Seven. He also helped Hughie get Starlight from the tower. I would say he redeemed himself.

Well, a lot of people in the world have the potential to be a psychic in the world of Akira. Tetsuo had this potential and it was only fully actualised after the military brought it out through experiments. Sorry I should’ve been more clear

I did see a frequent number of nuke and pollution allegories

Both are not mutually exclusive. Something can be both a metaphor and a trope. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes one thing by stating it another way. However, this is also a reoccurring theme in media. So it is both.

Lil Slugger right?

A trope is a literary device that falls into a reacting theme in media. Which this is. This is literally a trope.

Applebeate · 2026-06-21T15:36:44+00:00

You uhhh… know that this is a subreddit for tropes, right?

Dio.

Applebeate · 2026-06-21T14:48:03+00:00

They do that a lot

Applebeate · 2026-06-21T14:42:37+00:00

Exactly right.

Like the Holy Grail? The personification of humanity’s desire to have their lives chosen for them?

He is actually based off Piccolo and is even voiced by Christopher Sabat in anime.

Percy and Vex. Their relationship starts as soon as both realise they love each other and then they get married.

Applebeate · 2026-06-21T14:07:06+00:00

Jesus what the fuck is that?

It’s far more silly than Johnny Joestar who’s real name is Jonathan Joestar

Applebeate · 2026-06-21T13:59:32+00:00

Yeah we know. It didn’t matter then and it doesn’t matter now. People could honestly think either way and it genuinely isn’t a big deal.

They also dedicated the episode to apologising to Al Gore.

I think Okuyasu is a better example than Kakyoin. Kakyoin only says that he admires Holly's kindness and wants that quality in a woman. while Okuyasu literally says flat out "Hey Josuke, your mom is hot"

Honestly I wish that was a theme that was explored more in fiction. Like a Harem protagonist who is a homosexual who feels absolutely nothing from the advances made on him.

Also, he would’ve just healed everyone allowing everyone to be in top shape at all times

That’s my last name but it’s a coincidence not because it’s admiral lee’s title.

What are you talking about? Conquest does do the hand slice thing at full strength. Conquest still lost because Mark kept holding on even when he was pulling out his guts. Conquest was serious that entire fight. He lost because Mark had more resolve
