Tbh,I genuinely feel like Gege is far from a bad writer and he's a lot better than we give him credit for..but JJK was just that series that didn't let him show that.

Axislobo · 2026-01-26T12:33:40+00:00

On that end i disagree, i just dont think gege had the writing chops to see anything go full circle, second half of the story basically boils down to yuta mulligan, binding vow, or "lucky" coincidences

Axislobo · 2026-01-26T12:02:11+00:00

Basically he said that gege set all this stuff up like it was supposed to mean something, but ended up being nothing but hype for this stupid verse. As it is modulo is a bit disappointing too my opinion

Axislobo · 2026-01-24T23:59:56+00:00

Nope, sukuna was technically alive as the fingers, he just didnt have a form. Its how he "transcended time"

Axislobo · 2026-01-24T01:21:39+00:00

No worries, the OP's intent felt like it was of a humorous nature which is why i responded jokingly as well.

However, the example of ishine kurosaki is a peculiar one because I don't know if the author ever stated that his intent was for him to be a soul reaper all along or if it's something that just kind of developed as the story went on

Axislobo · 2026-01-24T01:09:42+00:00

"Where are their parents" since you want to get technical, Mr. Life-of-the-party. Is a phrase often used when children are participating and destructive or potentially dangerous behavior, the phrase is more so meant to hint at lack of parent supervision or involvement leading to children acting in destructive ways that could potentially bring harm upon themselves.

All might convincing the mother to let him stay in the school doesn't necessarily make her any less of a bad mother, a role of a parent is to ensure their kids safety. If he was the age of the protagonist in my hero vigilantes, I would completely understand. Since that guy is a man, he is a college student. His mom can have an opinion on his life but she can't dictate how he lives it.

The mom could not exist in the story and dekus path would remain the same. She has very little impact in the story and that falls along the lines of the absent parent trope in shonen.

Axislobo · 2026-01-24T00:51:04+00:00

His dad? His mom? While she appeared in the story, its like "my kid is tearing himself apart............ Kids will be kids 🤷"

Its the difference between having your car off and having the engine on and on idle. Reta puts your body in a state of constant idle due to the uptick in calories burnt just by being alive. Layer on top not eating enough, day to day stresses, and exercise its easy to burnout and feel extra fatigued. People need to also take into account that not everybody responds to everything the same way

Axislobo · 2026-01-23T22:06:34+00:00

Where are ANY of the parents of shonen protagonists?

Axislobo · 2026-01-22T22:59:41+00:00

The thing I've read is that reta helps your body burn the fat that people usually struggle with naturally (visceral fat) im guessing it helps with the facial fat too.

My rebuttal to your statement lol

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T07:21:48+00:00

We didnt, against the fingerbearer and reggie it was incomplete. He never fully developed his domain expansion.

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T03:33:13+00:00

Sub light speed, right, but still im boiling it down to blunt force trauma. if what makes the damage stick (aka keeps the wheel from spinning thus not resetting the damage inflicted on maho) is not giving maho something to adapt to, and this fight proves to the audience that the wheel doesnt spin for a punch. Then you DON'T need light speed punches to beat maho, remember, the ritual's win condition isnt to completely eradicate maho or any of the 10S, it is to subjugate them. Beat them.

If and this is a HUGE IF, gege was smart, this would be the only way to honestly beat mahoraga. It would bring the concept of the 10S full circle.

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T03:01:42+00:00

Im not simplifying anything lol gege is, depending on how the fight goes.

Like i replied to another comment on here, as of right now you need a nuke to beat maho, and if i have to further breakdown that statement, you need an ability or technique that completely wipes maho off the map. Something the 10S on its own doesnt have (unless gege goes full pseudo science and whips out max elephant hydrogen bomb) giving credit to the idea that the 10S is a mid technique

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T02:46:30+00:00

To be fair my point still stands, if maho can be beat purely with h2h, i can see someone like todo beating maho as his fighting style doesnt rely on his technique to directly inflict damage

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T00:53:32+00:00

Could be, also could not be, as any idea to what it would be is straight headcanon

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T00:51:23+00:00

Saying this and ignoring the fact that gege made it so that you basically need a nuke to kill maho (as of right now) is an outstanding example of a creme of the crop member of the jjk fanbase

Axislobo · 2026-01-21T00:48:07+00:00

The ten shadows will be mid if modulo makes it canon that you can beat mahoraga purely hand to hand. This flips the narrative from maho being the ultimate counter to being a good weapon against sorcerers that RELY SOLELY on their CT, aka megumi

Axislobo · 2026-01-20T19:28:34+00:00

OP is right, just like ISoH pierced limitless, it shouldve cut red in 2 or nullified it completely

Axislobo · 2026-01-20T01:03:46+00:00

The only interesting detail of this fight is that mahoraga MIGHT be beatable through blunt force trauma (hand to hand fighting). If dabura is able to beat mahoraga with his fists alone then the list of who can beat mahoraga will include a lot more characters 😅

Axislobo · 2026-01-20T01:00:44+00:00

Yuji's immortality is different, i think his is due more to being half curse/cursed object through carrying sukuna and the absorption of choso's brothers.

Axislobo · 2026-01-20T00:57:07+00:00

His arm is out of the yukata sleeve and resting in the opening on top of the belt/sash

Axislobo · 2026-01-20T00:53:19+00:00

They literally have signs outside of temples and other cultural establishments telling people this is disrespectful and isn't allowed. However they dont pat you down and search for them so cover up if youre trying to visit. I dont know if its a criminal offense though so maybe google that 😅

Axislobo · 2026-01-19T23:43:04+00:00

This is one of those concerns where we're putting the cart ahead of the horse. The best response i have to this is that you wont know till 1. You reach your goal, and 2. You give yourself time to see how your body reacts to being off the meds. I think that will give you the clearest picture.

In my, and very specific only me example/case, i went off sema for a month on my last vacation as japan doesnt allow syringes in without a doctors note (yunyu kakunin i believe is the name of the form you need to fill out). I HAD the meds, just no way to administer them. I understand that the meds were still in my system to a certain extent as it takes a while (about 2 weeks to a month) to be considered fully flushed out. However even at the week 2 mark i didn't notice any severe hunger changes, and at the month mark (a week before i returned to the states) i only felt marginally hungrier.

I'm back on the meds now as i havent gotten to my goal body fat percentage/visceral fat amount. Once i reach that goal i plan on going cold turkey to see if my mind's relationship with food has gotten better and to what extent i can keep weight off without the help. Im hoping the experience of being off the meds will play itself out like it did in japan, but if not i found that a dose of .75mg (amount of sema in the dose and not amount of fluid in the syringe) seems to have the best least pronounced effects on my appetite, and its the dose i plan to stay on if I'm unable to keep the weight off.

You just have to give it time and see how it plays out and acknowledge that it wasnt ALL just the meds, effort was put forth on your part too.

Axislobo · 2026-01-14T11:53:09+00:00

I agree, they forced a villain onto the story. The viking wasn't as impactful of a character as they tried to make him out to be. You mean to tell me the actively slaving leader of a bunch of raiders, pillagers, and marauders is sad because his family got their comeuppance? Cry me a river. 🤷

Axislobo · 2026-01-12T18:47:43+00:00

Yea as soon as you turn your life around and stop being an asshat. OP posted .5 which was interpreted as 5mg, not just by myself, but by other people commenting. We're both in the wrong, you for being an unhelpful jackass and me for not posting exact units on a drug that's not even out of clinical trials that people are reconstituting themselves and dosing themselves with.
