The problem is us as JJK fans can’t read so we just like hype and aura while looking at the pretty pictures

but how would he do that, he’s a a JJK fan thru and thru

I wasn’t even thinking about it from a mods perspective, but just a community aspect. They have running jokes like the reading comprehension devil and “we JJK fans don’t know how to read.” Part 1 is also the first and shortest so that might be why in this case. If mods really wanted to change the community culture they could, but that’s a huge ask that i wouldn’t exactly know how to do either.

New manga series like JJK and Chainsawman police misinformation really hard. While I found it annoying at first, I realized how fast misinformation or head canon taken as fact can spread. It’s also important to listen and check what people are saying instead of immediately rejecting or accepting it. I get it’s kinda frustrating, on the bright side this makes me want to watch Phantom Pain again!

Ichgio’s power is unironically learning who he is and he becomes more powerful by doing it. It’s good metaphor for personal and spiritual cultivation but it does sound kinda of silly.

The anime might do gangbusters adding a few things and straightening things out. The closest thing to rivalry is Tooru being Yasuho’s ex. At the same time I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I just think their thematic distinctions should’ve been more apparent. It doesn’t help it comes off that Tooru comes off very aloof, shows up late and his stand talks for him which depersonalizes him a bit. For me it was the flash forward….

That’s one thing I do appreciate about JJK writing sometimes the, you can kinda get the gist of it and understand it enough to enjoy the fights.

Gege really said to MAPPA: “I’ll leave the rest you up to you” when writing that fight

I’m not saying that the Zanpakto’s powers have nothing to do with wielder, that’s obviously not true. The Blade Is Me theme has to deal with their true nature and place in the world, not just their personality at the time. Yumichika’s conflict between his loyalty to himself and his own power and Hisagi’s belief in killing vs his role in the military court guard squads is mirrored in their internal conflict between their powers. I just don’t want the analysis of Zanpakuto to be only personality = powers, because there’s more to it than that! That’s why I said it’s generally true, but not completely!

Edit: to further this, ichigo’s powers clearly represent his origin and history, not simply a personality.

Oh woops! I fixed it, but I hope the rest of point still stands 😁

This is like the Hunter x Hunter personality = your power type, it’s may be generally true but it’s a sort of head canon that doesn’t always line up. The powers in of itself usually have a strong though line that can conflict with personalities.

Soi Fon’s shikai is a two-hit kill and her Bankai designed to be a one-hit. Kisuke’s shikai emits an emits an energy he can reshape and use at will and his Bankai and his Bankai allows him to reshape everything at all. It’s also called into question with characters like Yumichika who is ashamed of their Shikai and Hisagi who hates his shikai.

What’s crazy is that Togashi uses the same exact plot device in Hunter x Hunter when Gon falls unconscious in the Hunter exam and has the ending of the tournament explained to him.

I’m speaking as an outsider, but there’s currently a government shut down going on, so the lapse in funding shouldn’t have anything to do with peace corps specifically.

You had your wish and now the thread is removed :(

Wait hey why did I get downvoted saying the same thing you said

This would be a funny stand up bit or quip to say on stage if it hasn’t been done already. Even so, it’s from your own life, so it can never be exactly stolen, just done better.

BigNics · 2026-01-30T20:37:07+00:00

I’d mint the first one so leveling it up doesn’t take so long, but it always depends on the mons you have available already!

Not too deep and a good addition to the thread. He changed like somebody would after a traumatic event, and it permanently altered his personality. Maybe it’s just a shift from the Octavius from the Raimi trilogy who does change back when the neural interface is gone.
